[ He feels some heat rise to his cheeks and he does his best to hide it by drinking his soda. ]

Why would I be worried about the guy who killed me? Seems pretty masochistic, and I'm definitely more on the S side.

[truthliesinspace]

You always say just a little too much and make shit real weird, y'know that?

[he leans over to tap him on the forehead]

It ain't nothing wrong with fussing over people. I worry about you, too. But now that you mention it. . .

Probably should apologize for it, even if it was your idea. So! Sorry, man.

[lieindespair]

....

[ That hadn't been something he was expecting. After all, Kaito was right: it was his idea.

After a moment, he just huffs. ]

If anyone should apologize it's your psycho girlfriend. She ruined everything I was setting up. But... at least it worked out.

[truthliesinspace]

Don't bring her into it. She got manipulated, too--and you did "kidnap" me. You could've just let me go and I probably would have been out for days with how hard that damn Exisal clocked me.

Plus, you're the one who decided to say you were the mastermind. If you felt that strongly about killing Tsumugi, why wouldn't Maki feel that way about you?

[lieindespair]

Mmh.

[ He had his reasons, but he can't say he blames Maki, especially when Kaito brings up his reaction to Tsumugi's revelation. He shifts, looking a little uncomfortable. ]

That was... a miscalculation. I didn't think she cared enough to go that far but.. I was apparently wrong.

[truthliesinspace]

Gotta stop underestimating folks, man. Or at least start getting to know 'em better. It'll help all your weird little schemes go more smoothly.

[lieindespair]

Yeah... I'm starting to see that...

And they're not weird. They're meticulously planned, I'll have you know. It's you guys who're weird.

[truthliesinspace]

The little bastard goin' around making impossibly creepy faces doesn't get to call me weird!

[lieindespair]

Huh? Who's being creepy? So much for Momota-chan's open mind, I guess.

[ He gives a dramatic sigh and blinks up at him. ]

You said you almost ate her. What was that like?

[truthliesinspace]

. . .?

Eh. I don't really remember? It's like, I got so angry I was starting to black out? And I could feel someone else moving my body. Could hear 'em taunting Tsumugi too, but between that and all the memories, it was hard to get a grip on what was happening.

I just knew I didn't. . .want to hurt her, so I tried to reign it back in. Calmed down after a while and came to. She said it didn't get it her, so, it was alright.

[lieindespair]

Are monster diseases communicable here, do you know? Like... if you were to have bitten her, would she become a werewolf too? And there's gotta be at least one vampire or zombie, right?

Or do those rules just not apply here?

[truthliesinspace]

What? No?

[................thinks]

I mean, I don't think so? I'm not actually a werewolf, after all, it wouldn't make sense!

[lieindespair]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

What wouldn't make sense? More importantly, what would with all the other crazy shit?

[truthliesinspace]

Uuuuuh....

[HE HAS....NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS...]

I, I dunno. But it's not like I go around biting folks, so it shouldn't matter!

[lieindespair]

You sure? You're in control all the time? What about other people?

It's... really never happened before?

[truthliesinspace]

It's come out some other times, but I heard it mostly uh...just sleeps and eats. Kind of a lazy bastard.

One of my teammates is another wolf, but he's pretty rational and has his shit together, so ain't heard of him having any problems. Maybe it's all cancelled out because we've all got monsters? And so it makes you immune.

[lieindespair]

Hm... I guess I can see that. It makes sense. Also, it wouldn't be fair if someone could double-up, you know?

[truthliesinspace]

It's bad enough being stuck like this, having two parasites in your head sounds like hell. . .

[lieindespair]

Speaking of... once they get them to 'hatch'...

What do you think happens next? To us? To them? What's it for?

[truthliesinspace]

[shrugs]

No idea. But if they take over completely, I assume we might just...not exist anymore.

Might as well be dead again.

[lieindespair]

Well... out of all the potential options of the outcome of losing... that might actually be the best one.

[truthliesinspace]

--oi, where's this coming from? Did you want to stay dead?

[lieindespair]

N-no, that's not it! I'm just saying there's things worse than death, and being attached to a demon might be one of them!

[truthliesinspace]

A'ight, good, cuz if you start talking about giving up, I'll punch some sense into ya.

[he's got your number, sad clown man]

But yeah, if we're still conscious--being a hitchhiker in our own minds would be miserable. Think it's best if we just don't get to that point to find out.

[lieindespair]

Give up? Psh. Remember who you're talking to.

[ Conveniently ignoring the time he begged for death... ]

Agreed. Which means this shit has to stop before it gets to that point. You're with me, right?
