tiptoeing the thin line of sanity.

[ Fuminori seems bored, so he'll ask a question or two for anyone who cares. (He certainly doesn't. Boredom can push a man to do pretty much anything.) He's looking healthier, at least. Since he can eat normal food again. Deep inside he's beginning to wonder if he's just woken up from a... very long dream. Or he's dead. Whatever makes him feel less

People are counting on me. Plus, I'm stubborn as hell.

[ He gives the girl a once over. ]

You sound American.

[landismyland]

Yep! Where are you from?

[agnosiating]

Mm. Japan.

[landismyland]

Oh! Nice place. Not as awesome as America, but still pretty cool.

[agnosiating]

[ Oh, cultural supremacist. That's nice. Not that he really gives a shit, but okay. Maybe our country would've been nicer if you hadn't bombed it. B( ]

Americans are as patriotic as they say.

[landismyland]

... Not all of them. [She sounds almost a bit sad there, just for a moment. Then it's gone again.]

But I'm more patriotic than most!

[agnosiating]

[ Well, she's not a dickhead so far. Most foreigners in Japan are pretty irritating. So he shrugs. ]

You have to represent the right kind of people after all.

[landismyland]

[Just uh, wait a couple minutes.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[agnosiating]

You said they're not all so enthusiastic, so they're not really the ones who represent your country, are they?

[landismyland]

Citizens of every country represent their country in some way, regardless of how enthusiastic or patriotic they are.

[agnosiating]

Improperly.

[landismyland]

A country is made up of her citizens, so there's no such thing as improper representation.

[agnosiating]

So yours is made of lazy people.

[landismyland]

And Japan is made of... [what's the word]... hikikomori.

[agnosiating]

There's the difference between us.

You know nothing about us, and we know a lot about you.
