Ace of Swords: Inevitable Change

{text}It's interesting, really, how the scientists want to rebuild their city, but in bringing us here, there's less of a chance it will ever be theirs again. The nature of those here and of people in general is to solicit change, however slowly. No matter what the scientists wish, with the number of people from different worlds, with different

Sometimes the price is worth it for revenge.

[angelic_lawyer]

You would consider death a suitable price even when you are unable to fulfil that revenge?

[pissedkitty]

Death was the price for revenge, not his greed. When the man wished to satiate his greed as well, he had nothing left to give, and upon wishing for more than he could pay the price for, he earned nothing.

When there are wishes, there is always a price. If death is the price for revenge, then...

[angelic_lawyer]

I'm afraid I'm not entirely certain how you came to this conclusion. Admittedly, it might be because I didn't explain things in their fullest since it wasn't particularly short as was, but if he hadn't gone to meet the man he had been blackmailing in order to retrieve the fifty million yen, he would not have fallen to his death. The man he had been blackmailing had informed the 'underground' businessman's men that that was where he was, fully aware of the reaction he would have.

Upon wishing to satiate his greed, he lost sight of his revenge; he wasn't as committed to it as to consider death a suitable price to pay. If he had been, he would not have been concerned with the money and his death, which arguably may have occurred regardless would have at least been postponed and would have given him more of a chance to enact his revenge.

I quite agree.

[pissedkitty]

Did you know this man, by any chance?

[angelic_lawyer]

I met him, although I can't say I knew him on a particularly personal level.

[pissedkitty]

You seem to know a lot about him for it just being "another person".

[angelic_lawyer]

I suppose so.

It was believed that his death may have had relations with some recent cases that I, and a detective associate, were involved in.

What are law.

[pissedkitty]

That sounds like an invasion of privacy.

Certainly not Naruse

[angelic_lawyer]

The moment he involved himself in other's privacy, he set himself up for investigation.

Regardless, the circumstances surrounding his death had to be investigated; it wouldn't do for the police to shirk on their duties.

[pissedkitty]

Are deaths typically investigated in other worlds?

[angelic_lawyer]

In my world they are, particularly if the circumstances surrounding the death are suspicious.

[pissedkitty]

It sounds like there are other worlds similar to that as well...

Hm.

[angelic_lawyer]

I gather they aren't in your world.

[pissedkitty]

I don't have a world.

[angelic_lawyer]

Is that so?
