006. [ voice, accidental ]

[evaluative]

[ there is silence coming from this device for a short while, as if someone has pressed a button without knowing it. after some time of nothing, there is finally a voice; it is unlikely that it sounds familiar, as it is both younger and more heavily-accented, as well as considerably more disgruntled than the usual person on this frequency. ]...

[Well, Mikado certainly can't keep his nose out of this.]

Hello?

[resentive]

[ oh mikado. ]

Who are you?

[ikebukuroer]

You don't remember?

[resentive]

...remember what?

[ikebukuroer]

We've talked before.

[resentive]

What are you talking about?

[ikebukuroer]

So you don't remember.

...That's okay. I still have a question for you.

[resentive]

...what is it?

[ this day is so confusing. ]

[ikebukuroer]

"Raw materials."

Does that mean anything to you?

[resentive]

[ short pause. ]

Do you mean the base metals used in alchemy...?

[ikebukuroer]

No.

You told me once, that it was humans.

[resentive]

[ something that sounds almost like a bitter laugh escapes him. ]

I don't know why I would.

[ikebukuroer]

...I don't know either.

[What makes people think like that?]

[resentive]

They're completely useless.

[ probably because he stopped caring after his wife died. ): ]

[ikebukuroer]

Huh?

[resentive]

Rather than people being "raw materials," they are simply useless.
