Woah, woah, okay don't-- No panic attacks, alright?
[Actually standing up and coming over, waving his hands in front of Magnus' face for a second before he actually hesitantly reaches to pat him on the chest.]
Listen, this place is good at illusions. We already know that. And if everyone's here, it's not like we can get cut off from them.
Let's not go over conversations we've already had, hombre, Taako can take care of Taako's self, okay? I'm-- I'll figure something out. There's always a third-act reveal.
[Shoving him on the arm, irritated, but trying to be less angry.]
You've - we've had to leave people behind before, remember the whole, um, century thing? I'm not saying we give up, but we have to concentrate on the priority, which is me and you and making it to the end of this thing one way or another. Worrying about trying to save whoever or whatever is really cart before the horse here.
Then just let me worry about it, alright? Fuck. You're-- everyone with their hero complexes around here.
[Digging his hands into his braid, tugging on for a second while he thinks it over.]
Look. If the portal is here, and the bodies are here, do the math. Like I said, it's better than demon island. It's extra time, and that means we've got some leeway to figure it the fuck out.
Still don't know it's the truth! Nothing the demons told us was real.
[In a move that truly distinguishes this Taako as the more pathetic and weaker timeline, he makes a motion that might be the start of? A hug? Hello? Before he awkardly starts to move away instead.]
[He wants that hug? So as soon as Taako starts to offer it, he gladly slumps into it?]
Don't wanna think I could be letting everyone down. Or letting you down. [The Taako who held his hand through every execution. The Taako who made him promise to keep going. He doesn't want any suggestion he'd abandon him, either.]
[Yeah alright. Since Magnus is the one that did the follow-through, it's fine. Holding him tightly, since he's already there. He's made a big fuss about all of the hugs he's gotten so far, but he can't deny that it's nice that Magnus is even here to give them? Another spark of jealousy at this other Taako that had that advantage. There's a dark part of him that wonders if things wouldn't have turned out better for him if Magnus had been around?]

[Still shuffling about, deep in his lemon tart fantasy world.]
I can ask. Mostly because I want some of those footprint erasing stickers.

Yeah. Pretty nice, eh? I'm sure glad I know the duplication power exists and you have it.

I . . . know you're kinda freaked, but I'm actually starting to feel a little better about this shit?

Well. Good.

Dick said that he heard everyone from the other games is . . . here, somewhere. Asleep.
no subject
[What? Yikes!]
Did he see for himself?
no subject
It's actually a good thing. Better than being stuck on demon island. Means whatever is running this place is more powerful than them.
no subject
[Leaning against the wall, bracing himself.]
Taako. Taako, I can't - that can't be what's going on. I -
[He doesn't? Like it?]

If they're more powerful than Anthy, too. . . I - I'm the only one who can save any of them. But if I do, nobody can save you? I mean.

I can't be the one to decide that. [Suddenly stopping the panic attack to instead slam his fist in the wall? Hmm.]
I'm not gonna fucking do that!

No one said you fucking had to!

Anyway, I'm not that guy anymore. It does matter to me, now. I can't just turn off caring about it.

But, nodding.]
Just, uh. Figured this whole time it was a lie. That they were just fucking with us.
