[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

[Draco questions your self-questioning hypothetical questions. Especially ones that make him think.]

Quite a lot. I can't think of many reasons why I wouldn't want to be myself. [then mostly to himself:] Except maybe that.

What kind of question is that, anyway?

[insorrow]

Oh, it's... just something I've been thinking about lately. I know it's kinda a weird question.

[Ken hates lying. He is also very, very bad at it, especially if the person he's lying to can see his face. If he tries, though, he can at least manage 'evasive'.]

Do you think you'd have to be really unhappy with yourself to change like that?

[mudbloodhater]

[he's always been rather good at reading people, one brow twitching curiously at the evasiveness.]

Yes, I do. Either that, or you'd have to have done something incredibly stupid to make yourself believe you had to change.

[insorrow]

Oh.

[Ken sighs, slumping slightly. Whatever answer he'd been hoping to get from all this, that clearly wasn't one of them.]

You don't think someone would do something like that because they thought it'd... it'd help?

[doctor_tatsu27]

Having no other choice.

[He's seen it happen before.]

[insorrow]

Really?

[Weirdly, he'd been hoping to hear something like that.]

I guess. Anything's better than nothing, right?

[doctor_tatsu27]

Possibly.

[He takes his glasses of while he looks at the little screen.]

There are simply times when there is no other option.

[insorrow]

Do you reckon it's any easier if you just don't have any other choice?

[seiryuu_warrior]

Why do you ask?

[Yeah. This struck him though he's not showing it.]

[insorrow]

It's just been kinda bugging me the last few days. It's no big deal, really.

[seiryuu_warrior]

It's not a question someone would typically ask.

[insorrow]

Something made me think of it is all.

Guess I kinda hoped someone else would get it.

[stoicism]

[Only before coming to Somarium did Frank begin to embrace his true self. By no fault of his own, he'd spent years repressing all forms of emotion and attachment to others, repressing his memories. To go back to that life is something he can never allow himself to do. This question piques his interest.]

...Why would you willingly decide to be anything other than yourself?

[insorrow]

I dunno. I don't think I ever would, but... some people do, right?

I just don't get it.

[stillneedsakiss]

This is about Omi... isn't it?

[1/2]

[insorrow]

I... guess I shouldn't have said anything. Sorry, I--

[2/2]

[insorrow]

--I just don't understand, Aya! I... kinda hoped someone else would.

[stillneedsakiss]

It's okay... I don't understand it either.

Kind of ticks you off, doesn't it?
