Attention newcomers and those familiar with Ikki.
He is not allowed anymore booze, don't set him free. [As he says this, Ikki can be heard protesting in the background.]
I have better things to do than be handcuffed like a criminal!It's for your own good. I'm keeping the key on me, don't even try to get it. You can get out when you aren't

Please, Selphie. You two can handcuff me tomorrow and throw me to the sea and whatever you want, but not today. Today just... Let me be.
[There, he's even doing the effort to not yell.]

[Ikki never says please. Selphie feels that something's up if he's down to practically begging by an Ikki standard.]

[And he'll be... There, handcuffed in the apartment and sitting on the floor. It's not as if he can move and such.]

Not even a hello? Your manners are getting to be worse than mine.
[... He doesn't really know where to start, or how. It shouldn't matter to anyone anyway, it's just personal. His problems. His traumas. His guilt.]

I make exceptions for when my friends are acting like nothing's wrong when there actually is.

[Really, Selphie, you're a master at that too. Ikki sighs.]
It's just a bad day... More like a bad set of four weeks.

[Face it, these two are quite the pair at not dealing with their issues.]
So what's been so bad about them? I know your birthday had to do with your brother but what else has happened?

My birthday is on August 15th... Ten days later was Esmeralda's birthday but before that lays her death anniversary and two days after her birthday is the anniversary of when we met. The woman I have the duty to protect and help was born on September 1st and today... Is my brother's birthday and the death anniversary of our mother.
[Pandora's birthday also falls between those dates but, fortunately, he never learned something as trivial as her birthday. So that's a smaller detail to sulk about.]
Time passes and I'm still stuck here. I should be helping them, protecting them but I can't even know how they are.
[And it aggravates him more than what the lets be seen.]

I know how you feel, Ikki and I know that it might not help a whole lot but as long as you're with them all in spirit, that's still better than nothing.
They'll be fine.

[And there's so much anger and hate in the words he just said that it hurts to hear them.]
It's always the same. I'm almost always stuck where I don't want to be, while the people with whom I should be are away. Esmeralda died for me and her grave is now deep in the ocean, I can't die to go with her or visit her grave, just that copy I made in her memory. My brother was almost taken away from me when he was a baby and when he was possessed his soul was almost devoured by the God and I couldn't reach him either.
I guess I should be used to it by now. Being stuck, trapped and used like a tool.
[He really should be.]
