[>Collapsing at some abandoned shrine. He...doesn't look so good.]

[bitteresthope]

[Stops... At a mild distance. Sarcastically;]

Well, that was fun.

[sobani_iru]

Oh yeah, bucket of joy. [...Even his sarcasm sounds lame today. Is he shaking? He might be.]

[bitteresthope]

You don't have a pencil, do you?

[sobani_iru]

No.

[bitteresthope]

[EDGES CLOSER.]

Want to tell me why I'm hanging out with a crazy sadist?

[sobani_iru]

[Face in hands. Face very much in hands.]

It's only sadism if you're getting off on it.

[bitteresthope]

[Coolly.]

You were so getting off on it. Is that what's going to happen the next time I annoy you?

[sobani_iru]

No. [...He actually looks pretty ill. Like, physically.]

I don't know why. I don't know...no, I...[...He knows why. The 'why' is etched into every scar on his body. But...]

[bitteresthope]

So what should I be calling you, Sei? Doctor? I don't think 'Slickback' is a title, but hey, maybe that'd work?

[sobani_iru]

...[He's just. going to go over to this bush here and throw up.]

I never wanted to watch anyone die from what people like that do. Never again. But I can't get her locked up. There isn't any evidence.

[bitteresthope]

And you decided to become her? Wow, great idea! I can't see where that would go wrong!

[sobani_iru]

...What do you want for me to do? It's not like--I can go "Sorry, that was fucked up" and make the last twenty minutes not have happened.

No matter what I do or what I say...in the end, it really looks like I'm no better than the people I hate. [Face in his hands again.]

...I-I don't...want to become this. I don't know why this is happening.

[bitteresthope]

Because you're crazy.

[sobani_iru]

...Saburo, I don't think this is shit they diagnose you for.

...Ch, maybe that old man was right...I just take after my mother.

[bitteresthope]

I'm not earning you any money.
