[ Text, huh? Can't say that doesn't suit his fancy just fine. All Benten really wants to do at this point is go crawl under a rock somewhere and die. Facing another person, even over the confines of the Forge...

[There are parts of this that hurt to see, parts that are terrible. No one should ever talk about killing a child so casually. But...that's not the important part, is it? The important part is that he found love and comfort and acceptance in someone that really mattered. Kaien is himself the eldest of his family, but he understands feeling more yourself with family than anyone else in the world, even when for him he often accepted people he cared for into a 'family' of sorts that wasn't quite a family but mattered no less.]
I'm sure your brother felt the same way.

You think so?
[ Did he? Benten doesn't know. Doesn't know where Akio turned into Bishamon, and Bishamon turned into the older brother that would've liked to see him dead; that would've liked his remains to be used as a lovely cadaver for experiments.
But, since Benten hates Bishamon so fucking much, and this... broadcast (dream? thought? memory?) paints the asshole in such a grand light, he's going to set the record straight.
Especially for this grinning son of a bitch here. ]

How long has it been since he's last heard that name, much less been called by it? And how does this girl -

[ All six of them, in fact. Though he doesn't show them off all that often. ]
Heh, angels?
Try the exact opposite.

Ah... We all feel regret at times. Some more than others.

Think that's something I've lost, over the years. Can't say if I'm better off for it, though.
What about you?
