... He was. [ You have no idea, Shiki. ]

[so_shik]

Why him?

[neverplaysfair]

In the end, why any of us? Random chance.

[so_shik]

I thought you specifically chose him.

[neverplaysfair]

[ "Because he was the worst person in Shibuya." That would go over well. ]

Someone like him.

[so_shik]

If you could have used someone like him, then why him?

[neverplaysfair]

Random chance.

[so_shik]

I don't know if I believe that.

[neverplaysfair]

Well, what answer are you looking for?

[so_shik]

The absolute truth. I know you, you know all of the details.

[neverplaysfair]

That's not for you to know.

[so_shik]

And why not?

[neverplaysfair]

You chose a path which led you out of that world.

[so_shik]

But you told him the truth, didn't you?

[neverplaysfair]

What makes you so sure I did?

[so_shik]

You don't think Neku and I talk about things?

[neverplaysfair]

The absolute truth isn't for either of you to learn.

[so_shik]

So you lied to him, too?

[neverplaysfair]

I never once told him I was telling him everything.

[so_shik]

...are you doing it to protect us, or protect you?

[neverplaysfair]

It doesn't matter.

[so_shik]

Then...I guess there's nothing left to discuss.

[neverplaysfair]

Not unless you have more to say.

[so_shik]

Nothing you can't already guess. I think I just...can't think about it anymore.

[neverplaysfair]

If you find you need to talk, I'm a good listener.
