[The audio clicks on in the middle of a long zap, but doesn't end with the usual displeased commentary from Kakihara. Instead, he seems to be in the middle of a conversation, but there's no second voice on the frequency. With Shell sleeping on the fire escape, he's certainly not talking to the wolf.]

-That's easy for you to say. You're barely here

[prettygirlkanon]

Who are you talking to?

[loveinviolence]

...Who's talking? Tch. It isn't me.

[prettygirlkanon]

You were talking. But Kanon didn't hear anyone answering back.

Are you like okay?

[loveinviolence]

Fine. What do you care? You don't even know me, do you?

[Oddly, Kakihara actually has to think back to make sure this is, in fact, a stranger to him.]

[prettygirlkanon]

Nope! Not at all! I think I talked to you once, but that's kind of it hyaha~♪.

So are you like, okay?

[loveinviolence]

I don't think I am, but at this point, does it matter? We're all wasting away here... slowly, losing our chance to go out with a bang. Instead we go quietly with no warning and we won't even remember to care.

[prettygirlkanon]

And?

It's true we can't do anything about being stuck here. And so many things trying to kill you totally sucks. But Kanon doesn't see why you should stop caring about yourself.

That's just being lazy.

[loveinviolence]

Hm. You don't know anything, do you? When you leave here, you forget. How can you care about something if you don't remember what that something is? Even a pampered or tormented life that should be memorable always is just gone. Everyone you've met and everything you've gone through that has made you who you are, gone.

What's more is, when I leave here, I won't remember any of it because I'll be dead. This place took me away from death itself. There's nothing lazy about it...

[prettygirlkanon]

Sounds like an excuse. Why are you worrying about what happens when you leave? That's not now and if you're dead when you go back anyways it's not like it matters. Kanon's not dead and she doesn't even care, it's not the same. There is that place and there is this place, you can't just put them together.

Way too much thinking. Anyways like, if you want to die for real just do it? I bet if you do it a bunch of times you won't be brought back again. Kanon kind of thought about it, but then she didn't.

[loveinviolence]

You get all of that from hearing me talking to someone? Silly woman... If I'm going to die, it's going to be thrilling to me, and I'm going to stay dead. Obviously I don't want to just roll over and die like all the other worthless bastards here.

[prettygirlkanon]

I got it from you talking to me. Your mind must be really going or something. Don't be so pathetic.

What's so great about how you go? It's your final end, the destination of humanity. It's happiness. Everyone is loved in this! To have this sort of childish attitude... It's really depressing, you know.

But it's kind of not Kanon's business hyaha. She guesses she'll leave you alone. If you get weirder though you should like, come to the hospital and see Auntie-chan.

[loveinviolence]

You make me want to skin you alive, you know that?

[prettygirlkanon]

Is that how you fill your holes?

[loveinviolence]

It is! By putting holes in others...

[prettygirlkanon]

[Thinks about that for a bit.] ...Sucks you aren't a comrade. But okay.

[loveinviolence]

A "comrade"? Explain.
