[The sound comes on with a small click, and there isn't too long before Ikutsuki starts to speak, his tone fascinated:]

Siren's Port, Canada. The year is 2010. We have all been brought from different places and different times, by methods unknown. One might wonder what to make of it all. Personally, I find this occurrence fascinating and one that ( Read more... )

[Oh hell no. No way. No. Way. Because things couldn't get any worse? No, time to stay calm. Caaalm. Really calm. This was going to be tough.]

Ikutsuki-san. If Aragaki can show up, I should have expected you to as well.

[Ah, another familiar voice!]

Ah, Mitsuru. I did think Shinjiro's presence here was a little unexpected, myself.

[Doesn't quite pick up on the meaning of the 'as well', though, because ... pretty sure he was still alive.]

Don't talk to me like that. You have no right to.

[Yeah, she mad. She really mad. She'd really like to go and do something, but she's still holding back. Was he just acting dumb like he had been before?]

You made it perfectly clear that we're not on the same side.

Mitsuru, chill out. I know his jokes suck, but damn.

It's the Chairman, the hell're you going on about?

It's not that Shinjiro. [Oh wait. She did forget that he didn't know.]

He's not on our side. He hasn't been for some time now!

Alright. Then what is it?

...You might wanna define 'some time'.

Since the beginning. He was the one helping Strega. Defeating those major Shadows? That was what would bring about the Fall. He used us, Shinjiro.

...He tried to kill us. He tried to force Aigis to kill us.

[...Wait. Wait. Long pause. Listening. Though it makes sense that was where Strega got their drug supply... But the Chairman? And the whole time?]

And you weren't gonna say shit about that until now!? [Annoyed groan, another pause as he thinks.]

...So what're you gonna do? It ain't like there's shadows here, and if we know what he's up to... [Seriously, of all people. Ikutsuki? Wrapping his brain around that is hard.]

It wasn't important until now! It happened after everything, after we defeated the last Shadow.

...That's not all he did. [And this she doesn't want to really talk about, so she says it a little softer.]

He killed my father.

[A pause, and Shinjiro sighs. That explains why Mitsuru's so emotional.]

...So that's how it happened. [He speaks quietly, as though just a comment to himself.] So what d'you wanna do?

I...I don't know. After everything I said to Amada-kun, I'd be a hypocrite if I went around and went to get revenge.

[But she wants revenge. He shouldn't be allowed to be here.]

That wouldn't solve anything. [A pause.] He might not've even done it yet, where he is. If he had, you think he'd be putting up the nice act?

[She has a point, but...] There're better ways, Mitsuru.

I don't know. I don't know, Shinjiro. He fooled us all with it for years.

I know. I know. But I don't know if I... [Sighs.]

Then he ain't about to let up, just 'cause we know.

[His voice turns firmer.] If he's what you say, all you're doing is making yourself a threat, Mitsuru, paintin' a target on your back. If he's gonna act nice to the whole damn port, then we're in the way've that-- and if he tried to kill you once, what'll stop it from happening again.

We ain't gonna just let it go. But going after him right off won't solve anything. I know it's frustrating, but keep your damn head down so you don't lose it.

[She knew that he was right; it was sad that he was the one making the most sense. They all were making sense, of course. But how could she function normally with him in this city now?]

...I know.

[It was just a lot easier to stay distant and rational because he wasn't there- it hadn't happened to him, he had been well dead by that point.]

You told him what you know?
