[Kaien shows up onscreen, and he's sitting on a rooftop, as shinigami in Anatole are often wont to do, overlooking the marketplace. He certainly looks better than he did during the broadcast weekend, if a bit...antsy?]

Uh, hey everyone. So, um. [Hrrrgh, what's with the stammering. He clears his throat and tries again.]I know a bunch of you guys

[Sighhhhhhh.]

Seeee, this is how you'll get taken advantage of, Kaien-san!

[Voice]

[heartbetween]

[Yyyyeah he has trouble thinking like this even under normal circumstances, Break.]

Eh, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like I had plans or anything today so I might as well put it to some use.

[...]

Hey, did you want anything?

[You had to see that coming, okay.]

[Voice]

[break_onthru]

...

Why yes. I was thinking I might rob a sweet shop. Could you be my accomplice?

[He's not serious, he just wants to see what Kaien's reaction will be, so that Break can demonstrate his point. Except... the more he thinks about the idea, the more it seems oddly appealing...]

[Voice] he needs more scandalized icons lmao

[heartbetween]

[........]

[What the fuck, Break. Kaien is just going to stare at you in some mixture of confusion and mild horror]

Would--!! Wh...Why would you--what?! What the hell kind of question is that!

[Voice] Poor Kaien, Break sure scandalizes him a lot.

[break_onthru]

[Break just cackles madly.]

But you asked if I wanted anything! This is what I want~! You'll help me, won't you? Because you're such a goooood friend. ♥

[Voice] lmao at least he can countertroll. sometimes.

[heartbetween]

[...Wow, what the hell was that weird tug in his chest. Ignoring. :|

Kaien sighs and presses a hand to his temple.]

You're an idiot. I'm not...I'm not going to...do something like that just because--

[SIGH. Gtfo stupid guilty feeling, this is ridiculous. Stealing is wrong, especially since he's well within his means to pay for something like candy.]

Being a good friend would mean I should try to stop you from doing stupid things like that.

[Voice] sometimes. :3

[break_onthru]

[Okay, well, this intended exercise is proving that at least Kaien's moral compass points in the right direction. Ish.]

But Kaien-san! I have a sick sister, and the only way to obtain the medicine that will cure her is in the hands of very fiendish men. They insisted I rob the sweet shop and hand over every last piece of candy before they will give me the antidote!

[So what if Break might be altering a true story just a bit for his own purposes. He wants to demonstrate how Kaien could still be taken advantage of by someone claiming to be his friend Obviously Kaien will be able to see through it, but it's the principle of the thing. Sort of. Break's still having a hard time shaking the idea of actually having that much candy at his disposal.]

...I wonder if they have chocolate body paint...
