Game 019 [Voice] - There's a Pun in Here...

With so many people suddenly dying, I was wondering: what's it like to die here, where death isn't permanent? If you've died back in your home world, what's the afterlife like where you're from?

And even if you haven't, does death seem less important, does it carry less weight here than it did back home?

You might have known all along that it doesn't.

That doesn't explain why I've let my plan go on six months when it could've been done in a minute. We're patient, Josh, but We're not idiots.

Preparing Sho for it? He didn't have his borrowed power here, yet.

Why not just call him over when you were ten years old and bleeding in the snow?

I haven't seen him since before then. He might have already started the process. After all, who knows how long it takes here, where most forms of power seem to be limited?

Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just off you myself?

But then you wouldn't be able to replace the next Composer with someone else under your control.

Guess that's a valid point. So you figure I've been training Minamimoto up? Sounds stressful, waitin' for him to jump outta the shadows at any time.

Oh, it is. [ Sarcasm, can you taste it. ]

Well, if he does, it won't be 'cause I had anything to do with it. Haven't seen the guy in months. Got notes on that in my reports, actually -- or did you only read the one?

Only the one before you stopped me.

... you wanna read the rest?

You want me to see the rest of the sins you've committed?

If that's how you wanna think of it.

I thought those were for Their eyes only.

[ And then, a short, clipped laugh. ] They knew all along, didn't They?

These aren't reports on the Game. More like a personal journal. There are loopholes.

[ Really, he just wants Joshua to see the lack of sin recorded in his reports. Wants to show the guy his perspective. Wants Josh to see what's been going on in his head, if only in some small way. ]

Wouldn't surprise me if They did.

A personal journal that They read every page of.

You gonna have a look at 'em or not? Limited-time offer. It's not something I'd usually be willing to share, just thought you'd like to be in on all my evil plots.

Hee hee. If you insist, I might as well.

Just read all of 'em before you judge.

[ The one when he realized they'd been separated, the one right after Josh got all beaten up... There are reports in which he nearly admits to being worried for Joshua's well-being, and he wants those to be seen, even if it does little good. ]

I can come over now, drop 'em off.

All of them going how far back? That folder seemed pretty thick.

Since we got here. I've got maybe ten or eleven, some longer than others.

That far? I suppose I can.

You at your apartment?

[ Because he is. There's a sudden flare of background noise and shuffle of papers, a brief screech of feedback as he makes the jump, and then the sound of Sanae knocking at the door. ]

[ The journal abruptly goes silent for a moment. ]

Leave them outside.
