No, but I had to try, didn't I?

[neverplaysfair]

I don't know. Did you?

[so_shik]

...you're not going to help me at all, are you?

[neverplaysfair]

If the help you want is to go back to Shibuya? I don't have that power.

[so_shik]

To be honest? I'm not sure what kind of help I want anymore.

[neverplaysfair]

I can't heal loneliness, either.

[so_shik]

Otherwise you would have healed yourself already?

[neverplaysfair]

I'll be fine once I get home.

[so_shik]

Which brings me back to we don't know how long that is.

[neverplaysfair]

Thank you, Shiki. I had no idea.

[so_shik]

...why did I bother coming here? Forget it.

[neverplaysfair]

You came here because you couldn't forget it.

[so_shik]

Something like that. So what?

[neverplaysfair]

You asked.

Wanting your emotions to go away doesn't mean they will.

[so_shik]

But I can try to make them disappear. It's better than being on overload, I think.

[neverplaysfair]

If you think the moment they all build up to a breaking point is worth it.

[so_shik]

You don't think I could take it?

[neverplaysfair]

No. You can't. [ He's seen more than enough try. ]

[so_shik]

Why are you so certain?

[neverplaysfair]

Experience.

[so_shik]

Fine...

...so this is it. It's just you, me and Beat now.

[neverplaysfair]

... Yes. If we're lucky, we won't be far behind him.

[so_shik]

Do you think we'll actually be lucky?

[neverplaysfair]

I've stopped expecting anything from this place.

[so_shik]

Maybe I should stop too before it gets to be too much of a pain.
