[More paper rustling sounds; she's getting ready to practice writing English again]

Give me a--

[A pause, then there's the sound of of pad of paper being shut and roughly shoved away]

Forget it.

I want to go home. I mi--

Ugh.

When you go for the drug, you can do whatever you want with her.

I didn't say I'm going to, did I?

[pandorabox]

You said you could.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course I could. Who would stop me? Who could stop me?

[pandorabox]

A lot of people would try to stop you. Especially Cuddy-sensei.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I doubt it, on both counts.

[pandorabox]

Why wouldn't she? She's cared for you this entire time!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She has her 'kids'. I'm just a houseguest.

And as for why the rest of you wouldn't, that should be obvious.

[pandorabox]

Why do you think she's letting you stay with her?

I'm not going to encourage you to barge head-first into your father's army!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because she's a "good person"? Isn't that the explanation for all the confusing things people do?

I'm not going to-- ugh. I'm going to win; I'm going to

Dying at my father's hands would be an honorable death.

[pandorabox]

No, becuase she cares about you, idiot.

Stop saying things like that!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I told you, she has her kids; she doesn't need me.

Why? It's the truth.

[pandorabox]

But she keeps you around anyway!

It sounds defeatist.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because she's nice.

I don't need to give up to believe in the existence of honorable deaths, Kaito.

[pandorabox]

Because she cares about you. Heck if I know why.

You don't need to go around talking about how you're going to die, either.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She has other people. Are you really going to make me keep repeating myself?

That isn't what I said.

[pandorabox]

... do you think people are only capable of caring about one person or something? Geez.

You said any death at your father's hands would be honorable-- that's talking about you dying.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... It's different. You're still being influenced by that stupid virus.

But I didn't act like it was an inevitability.

[pandorabox]

... what virus? There hasn't been a virus for a long time, now.

It still sounds defeatist.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

There was one a few weeks ago. As far as I know, only a few were affected. I know you know what I'm talking about.

And you're just being difficult.

[pandorabox]

The one where you thought Cuddy-sensei was your mom? I wasn't affected by that!

Since when have you known me to be any other way~?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you were! But seeing us act that way has clearly influenced your thinking.

Shut up.

[pandorabox]

Is it really so hard for you to believe someone cares about you?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's illogical.

[pandorabox]

'Course it is. Doesn't mean it's impossible.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Funny.
