[The news about Shinji's death was a shock to the system, and it had taken a while for him to compose himself enough to speak on the network. The last few weeks had been stressful enough with Shinji's reactions to Yaha's death and right now, he simply needed out. Even if it was just for a little while ( Read more... )

I'm fine. If you don't get in my way, there's room for a second.

[Kimihiko is one of two people here Naoya would let crash on his couch. But Yako doesn't seem to need it, so.]

Thanks. If things don't work out with Itachi, I'll take you up on it.

[He honestly didn't expect that from Naoya. The man surprises him every time they talk.]

I see. Very well--you already know the address.

To be honest, I'm surprised. I figured you liked your solitude too much for that.

Nishizono Shinji and Kazuhiko Amamiya.

Not Murata?

[ After Kimihiko had gotten him all interested in Shinji's mystery, too. Too bad. But there were plenty of fish in the sea, as they say. There's not a trace of sympathy in Neuro's pleasant voice - clever as he may be, he couldn't read people too well. And even if he could, he probably wouldn't care. ]

Ah, your house wasn't damaged in the earthquake, was it, Mr. Kimihiko?

[Now this is one person who is not getting to see the blood-soaked state of the apartment. Naoya had given Kimihiko ample reason not to trust this man. And unlike Neuro, Kimihiko is very good at reading people. He forces his voice to sound pleasant, if distracted.]

Not at all. I was very lucky. In that regard, anyway.

That's quite fortunate! Miss Yako and myself also avoided any damage... Then you are simply looking for a chan?

I just need to get out of here for a while. Without Shinji, this place is... too empty.

A waste. That particular man had rather large potential.

He would have watched the world burn.

[We would have watched this world burn. And then, we'd go together. Everything ends. He doesn't catch the thought in time, although it's not said so much in words as in desires. Yes. To break down everything and reduce it to nothing... That was their shared desire that had brought them so close together. And then he died in such a meaningless way.

In the end, Shinji was still human. Even if he was Shinji. At least back home, he'd be able to rend that world to ruin. And that had far more meaning than this place. He'd said so himself, when Shinji had asked. Which was better, to be here, or to be there?

Destroy Gakuso.

No matter what. Not that it made it much easier. His mind was in chaos.]

Most people wouldn't consider him to have potential like that.

And are you to mope over the loss of a man like that forever, Ooe?

[What would be a better tribute to such a plan than to execute it with another?]

...no. I will go on. It would be an insult to him to mourn for long. Shinji was a man who embraced death in all its forms. While I doubt he wished to die, he was willing to accept it.

[The plan hasn't ended because he's gone. I just need new tools. I'll paint his name in blood on the walls of every place that burns.

Yes, that alone would be a fitting tribute. To bring the end in Shinji's name...

What are you thinking, Psycho Mantis?]

Kimihiko. How are you holding up?

[His tone is gentle, even a little tentative. He knew how badly Kimihiko had taken the possibility that Shinji was dead before now.]

[voice/private] bornfromdeath August 25 2011, 20:19:26 UTC
...

[He takes a while to respond, his voice quiet. Controlled, but still shaken. Just a little, the mask slips. Only for the one person who's seen right through it before.]

As well as can be expected.

[It's not an answer, he knows; but there's a reason he waited before deciding on this. Letting his feelings be shown was a difficult and even dangerous thing.]

Not that it means much.
