[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

Of course I can.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

Sure worked the first time, didn't it?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

I wasn't trying to stay alive the first time.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

"Nobody wants to die."

[ Your words, Hisoka. ]

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

I wasn't really alive then, either.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

You still had a death to await.

Pushing yourself won't solve this.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

...

What do you think they'll take from me when it happens?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

I'm sure it will be something uniquely frustrating to you. I still can't hear music, after all.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[Wait what.]

What does that have to do with anything?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

...

Hmm. I thought I'd already told you I'd died.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

[wat.]

When did you die?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

It was back in July.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

How? You kept something like that to yourself??

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

I wasn't about to spread something like that around.

You saw my scars. Some things just get worse and worse until they kill you.

Hypocrite.

[neverplaysfair]

I held it off as long as I could. I knew what would delay it, but Neku had gone home and Shiki has been here too long.

Unless you would have preferred she'd died along with me. I nearly killed Neku the last time I needed help. I could have tried to save myself using her. I'm sure that would have gone well.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

I don't understand. Why would you need to hurt them to save yourself?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

Because I'm separated from Shibuya, and humans aren't designed to be able to replace a whole city.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

So that's it? You just die because you're not home?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

It's the fate of a Composer.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

How many times has this happened? When will it happen again?

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

This was the first time it got bad enough that I died.

I don't know when it will happen again. I was supposed to get sick in January, but that didn't happen. So your guess is as good as mine at this point.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

...I'm sorry. You didn't deserve it.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[neverplaysfair]

Few people deserve death, but it claims everyone eventually anyway. That's the nature of it.

[Action, February 2nd.]

[cynicism]

You've already died. You don't need a second one.
