[Takato moans softly, tossing and turning uncomfortably under the weight of every blanket he could find. What is visible of his face is pale and miserable. Occasionally he coughs harshly.]

What's wrong with you? [what is tact]

[gallantgoggles]

I...[hoarse coughing] I got my chip out.

[virtualmenace]

Oh. And I suppose your abilities would be worth it?

[gallantgoggles]

They will. I'll be able to protect people again.

...And no one will be able to use that chip against me again.

[virtualmenace]

Such heroics...

My, aren't we confident in ourselves.

[gallantgoggles]

Before you can do anything you have to believe in yourself. And in your friends.

[virtualmenace]

Foolishly optimistic as well.

[gallantgoggles]

No, this was something I learned. If you can trust yourself and believe in your friends, there is nothing that you can't accomplish.

[virtualmenace]

You'll learn otherwise then.

[gallantgoggles]

Why?

[virtualmenace]

Why? Because eventually, no matter how much you "believe" in others, will be proved wrong. As much as I loathe to admit it, coming from my own experience, it's simply inevitable in all cases.

[gallantgoggles]

...But doesn't it make you sad to think like that?

[virtualmenace]

The truth can be like that sometimes. Better than to be well-informed than ignorant, hm?

[gallantgoggles]

But how do you know that's the truth? Believing like that... it must be so painful.
