Game 020 [Voice] - Mistakes

[ Filtered to Hanekoma, 86% ]

So tell me, did you Erase him?

[ Joshua's voice is calm, but very cold, both disdain and disgust lacing his words. ]

....

[ There is a long, long pause. That one definitely hurt, even if Hanekoma doesn't show it in anything more than a frown and sudden silence. He can't honestly tell to what extent Joshua means that. ]

We have an audience, y'know.

[ And that pause means victory. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of the pain, Sanae? Doesn't feel nice, does it? ]

What, you never told him just how dangerous what you gave him was?

That's not what I meant.

[ What Hanekoma doesn't want made public is the talk of Them and of his wings. ]

[ Well, he'll just have to deal with that. But Josh isn't going any further into the specifics, if it's any consolation. ]

I wonder if you'll scream.

[ ... Josh also wants to make this line of conversation as painful as he can manage. ]

Probably.

[ He says it casually, with a shrug, but that's his poker face and why yes this hurts just to think about. Yeah, he'd probably scream. He can't imagine how anyone wouldn't. ]

But hey, now I'll hafta try my best not to, just so you don't get that satisfaction. I wouldn't enjoy seeing you tortured, y'know.

Of course not. You'd much rather have me gone and be done with it.

It wasn't anything personal. Just better than the alternative.

I would've rebuilt her.

And what about everything that'd be lost in the process?

With enough time, it would come back.

Still seems like a waste.

And destroying all of Tokyo wouldn't be?

You know I'd never intend for something like that, Josh. I wasn't about to let it spread.

That's what you were risking, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise.

I'll admit it was a possibility. A risk. Just not enough of one for me to hold off on my plan.

You were lucky it didn't happen.

I base a lot of what I do on luck.

You can't bet the survival of a city with so many UGs within it on luck.

It's what you attempted with Shibuya. Luck isn't quite the right word, but you bet her life on a chance, and so did I.

That wasn't my bet.
