...Yohji's here now. That makes all of us. Dammit, I was hoping he wouldn't get stuck here, too...and people are being kidnapped again. It never stops.

The Malnosso are fucking bastards. That's all there is to it. Period.

[looktoheaven]

There's worse out there.

[memorywaltz]

That doesn't change the fact that the Malnosso are what they are.

[looktoheaven]

No, it doesn't. But even with the Malnosso, I'd rather be here than back home.

[memorywaltz]

I see. I'm not sure where I would rather be. So far, all I've gotten from this place is sheer fucking misery, everywhere I look. Someone's always upset about something, even Watari because those bastards kidnapped one of his friends.

[looktoheaven]

Mm. But...for a lot of people, it's not much better somewhere else. Even without the experimentation and whatever, people'll still be sad or angry or whatever.

[memorywaltz]

I have yet to meet someone who would be better off.

[looktoheaven]

There's people here that would be dead otherwise. Or stuck doing something terrible themselves.

[memorywaltz]

When people die, there's a reason for it. These things are planned. If people don't die like they're supposed to, that's when I get called in because something's clearly gone wrong.

As far as doing terrible things goes, that's a personal choice on their part.

[looktoheaven]

Sometimes there's really no choice.

[memorywaltz]

Bullshit. You're in control of yourself unless something far out of your hands influences you, like an incurable illness or telepathic manipulation.

[looktoheaven]

Or being offered a job with an organization that works outside the law that happened to want another man for their assassin team. The fine print is fucking murder.

...whatever. Anything you wanted to talk to me about, or did you just pick me at random?

[memorywaltz]

More like I can sense your emotions from clear across the damn village. I figured I'd see what your problem is.

[looktoheaven]

My problem is my problem. I'll try and keep it down for you.

[memorywaltz]

You're lucky not every one in the village is cursed gifted with empathy, otherwise people would be after you with blunt objects to knock you out.

...

I assume this is because of the Malnosso?

[looktoheaven]

You shouldn't assume things. You might be wrong.

No, it's not.
