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?

[truthliesinspace]

But of course. If nothing else, we definitely see eye to eye there.

[lieindespair]

[ A pause. ]

There's a ton of stuff on this island right?

Is there a library? Or maybe something that might have information about the demons? What happens if they get exorcised or banished?

[truthliesinspace]

Hm? Yeah, there's a library. There are a lot of books, but I think someone would have found one with that kinda info by now.

It's not like this place has been fully explored though, so who knows.

[lieindespair]

I see.

[ He finishes off his soda and with a smile hops off the couch. ]

Welp, I think I figured out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my night. Thanks for the talk. I feel a lot better now!

[truthliesinspace]

[Another curious headtilt. Kaito feels like he just got pulled into three different directions in that convo, and he's not certain if Kokichi really feels better, but. . .]

Yeah, sure. Like I said, I'm available whenever ya need to talk.

Just give me a heads up before inviting yourself over.

[lieindespair]

Hm... but that's not as much fun. Besides, if I catch you unawares, you'll probably be more candid. If I need to talk to you, that's how I want you, wouldn't you think so?

[ He's not entirely sure whether or not he feels better either, but he at least has a goal he can use to distract himself, and that's just as good. ]

And um... I guess same to you. About the.. calling thing. It's only fair if I extend the same courtesy to you, otherwise it's not a fun game.

[truthliesinspace]

Friendship doesn't have to be a game, man. . .

But, I can deal with that much at least. Thanks.

[lieindespair]

But I like games.

[ He puts the empty soda into Kaito's hands and smiles before turning to the door. ]

You've been invaluable tonight. I'd thank you for your time but... I think my presence was thanks enough. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

[truthliesinspace]

Well, I know that's not a lie.

[at least he didn't litter. he huffs a bit, now picking up on when it's worth getting riled up with the guy.]

Remember what I said about you saying a little too much and making things weird? [SIGHS and just shakes his head]

G'night, man. Take care of yourself.

[lieindespair]

You're the one who thinks it's weird.

But... same to you. And.. thanks again.

[truthliesinspace]

[he won't say anything, but gives him a quick hair ruffle before seeing him out. fight on, little gremlin.]
