[The video clicks on abruptly - although it's not clear it's video as first, as the SFC has fallen face down on the floor, although the music plays clearly. It continues for a few minutes more before the final descent is followed by the last echoing strains until it is all engulfed by silence. Silence

You sure seem to have time on your hands.

[driedfisheyes]

[Oh, it's errand boy.]

I simply happened upon it as I was passing by.

[whowasphones]

[Don't you call him that...!]

Yeah? Nice find.

[driedfisheyes]

[He's not calling you that...he's just thinking what's true.]

It's passable. I was surprised that the timbre was only slightly dampened by our location, although several of the keys at the lower register seem to require tuning.

[whowasphones]

[If only he knew :( Anyway, he wasn't hoping to dance around the subject or anything, so.]

... We need to talk.

[Neku's life is hard =3

Oh, so that was what it was about, hm? Had he bothered to investigate what exactly the envelopes contained? Eyes had assumed that the boy would, although the effects of the coral during that week had been an unexpected benefit.

But if it was talk, Eyes was never adverse to talk.]

About what?

[Private]

[whowasphones]

[Hm. Good. A private line. That saved him the trouble of having to go out and find him, but hopefully he wasn't going to cut the connection short any time soon. Not before he got the answers he wanted.]

Cut the crap. You know what.

What was in those envelopes you gave me? What are you planning? And why did you get me involved?

[Private]

[driedfisheyes]

[Tiny bit of amusement here. So he really hadn't checked at all.]

You seemed to have no problem offering your assistance before. I believe you termed it as "working together."

You approached me of your own accord - the one who got yourself involved would be yourself. Simply that

[whowasphones]

......

[Well... When he put it that way. He can't even say he never agreed to it because... he did.]

[Private]

[whowasphones]

But you knew I was acting differently! You took advantage of me to get your dirty work done.

[... And I can't change that now.]

The least you could do is give me some answers.

[Private]

[driedfisheyes]

[What was he getting so upset over after the fact?]

Regardless, I believe you first contacted me before that particular week.

[Neku's lucky Eyes isn't a jerk. Or at least not that much of a jerk.]

But I cannot give you many answers until this bears answers. [pause] Suffice it to say, I wish to confirm my beliefs about the workings of not only this place, but as to the reasons and method by which we were brought here.

[THERE YOU GO NEKU. ANSWERS. ARE YOU HAPPY?]

[Private]

[whowasphones]

[... No, not really!! What kind of answers are those!?]

I was going to ask for details before committing to anything...

[He's not going to accept any responsibility for his actions, nope.]

That doesn't really do me any good. Why don't you tell me exactly what it is you're up to?

[Private]

[driedfisheyes]

[You wound him ;___;

Have an almost mocking half-smile, Neku.]

I don't see how telling you now would do anyone any good. Besides, anything that happens is mostly out of my hands. At present, I am...not up to much at all.

[Private]

[whowasphones]

[He tries ♥]

Out of your hands? Get real. If you start something, you can sure as hell stop it.

It's not going to do any harm, right? What are you trying to cover up so badly?

[Private]

[driedfisheyes]

[Fuu. He is starting to lose patience with you.]

There are things that cannot be stopped once started. This was never fully in my hands to begin with. Nor am I trying to "cover up" anything in particular. I know about as much as you do, at the moment, no doubt.

[Private]

[whowasphones]

[So you say, but he just can't really buy that. But of course... He knows futility when he sees it.]

... Your name.

I never got that.
