It's only Eris being Eris. She knows exactly what to say to cause a panic, and I won't fall for it.

You're a real sensitive kid, ain't you?

[Voice]

[stripping]

You don't have to be sensitive to be upset that someone you care deeply for has forgotten you, Greed.

[Voice]

[material_guy]

You're worryin' yourself to tears over a guy who don't even know your name.

[Voice]

[stripping]

Well, he used to know my name.

Who's Kaito Kid?

[Audio]

[stripping]

Kaitou Kid is someone that I care about very, very much. He, he used to be a member of this community.

[fetish_fuel]

Ah, your boyfriend?

[Audio]

[stripping]

He's not interested in me that way, much as I would like him to be.

Issei-san...?

[voice]

[stripping]

[Quietly.] Complaining again, don't mind me.

[voice]

[100thbrokendish]

No, please don't worry, Issei-san! You're not troubling anybody at all, really. I'm just worried about you.

[voice]

[stripping]

Things will be fine. I was fine when Haruto left the community, wasn't I? This is hardly any different.

[urbandev]

You've lost someone from the community?

[stripping]

Kaitou Kid was very, very dear to me.

[urbandev]

I'm very sorry. I -- can sympathize.

[stripping]

Thank you. The support of everyone here makes this easier to bear.

[gamma_effect]

It gets easier, to stay away from someone.

[stripping]

I'm well aware. After all, this is perhaps the third time that the community has taken someone I love from me.

[gamma_effect]

I don't mean because the community forced you to, I mean because you decided to. Because it's what's best for him.

Unless I'm reading the situation wrong...

[stripping]

Perhaps a little. The community has forced us apart, so I'm attempting to convince myself that I don't mind because it's better for him this way. I really don't have much of a decision, in the end.
