I'm not hurting anybody over anything, okay?

[ Fear, hurt, agitation lend a snap to this; it's finally morning, and mere hours after Jim's dream appeared on the network. Juudai's fraying nerves can only take so much of this at once. Guilt and sleep deprivation don't mix well in the early hours.

Which is probably why he forgot to make this private. ]

Stop it.

[Whether he's saying it to defend Asuka, because he himself is hurt and angry, or some combination of both... that is probably the single coldest response Juudai will ever hear from Johan.]

Not doing it on purpose still counts, Juudai.

[ Distantly, matter of fact, as if this is an entirely different conversation that somehow got posted into this clusterfuck: ]

I'm probably not gonna be around until later today.

Okay?

Even if I told you it wasn't okay, you wouldn't listen, so why ask?

Johan I -

[ No. He restrains himself. Not on the network. Not here. Not now. ]

Later.

I promise.

[When she faces the camera, her eyes are red and puffy, but her expression is stern and her voice cold]

Don't be arrogant. You were not the only one who had a part to play in what happened. My decisions lead me there, not you.

No. You're right.

[ It's an almost combative sort of agreement. ]

Yes, I am. You didn't make me follow you, didn't ask me to come, and you certainly didn't put me in the place where you had to make the choice you did.

[ Quietly: ] But I made a choice, Asuka.

[ And if Juudai could go back, could unchoose it, not a day goes by that he wouldn't take the opportunity. ]

[Her voice gets very very soft, some of what she used to feel bleeding through]

We all did Juudai, and we all have to live with our choices. It doesn't mean we have to stop living.

That we have to stop caring.

[ A long, long pause.

Then, in an even quieter tone, as if admitting defeat: ]

I'm probably not going to be around much today. I'll be back tonight, maybe.

And... we can talk.

Only if you give me your word we will talk. Really talk. That's the deal.

[And Jack is watching all the commotion with detached interest.]

Looks like you've caused a lot of drama around here. I never would have expected it of you.
