[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 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.

[pandorabox]

I don't get why anyone cares about you. But they do. And in some way, I'm glad.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

But she doesn't.

[pandorabox]

It's obvious she does!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you say.
