Where is your mun trying to send you, Seimei?

Ritsuka. [ Seimei is always happy to see Ritsuka, but in this case it's been quite a while.]

An awful place that functions on the premise of a contract. The leaders of it make Septimal Moon seem like a charity group.

Ah, no... will you be alright?

I've already told her I won't go, so you don't need to worry.

She has people better suited for world destroying, as it were.

.... I would like to be that convincing with my mun.

And no, you aren't the world destroying type at all.

You just need to be firm with them -- it's important not to waver in your convictions.

[ He chuckles.] Even Soubi would be better suited for that than me.

Trust me, I was very firm about not wanting to lose my eye.

I think Soubi would do it only if ordered.

What?

Er.... well... I had my right eye... ripped out on Friday... [Among cracked ribs and a dislocated shoulder.]

[ So many emotions and thoughts at once.]

Ritsuka, are you okay? Who did this to you? Why wasn't Soubi with you?

Uh.... well, ever heard of a vampire named Rip Van Winkle?

[His ears bend down.]

Soubi... only just arrived and didn't know I was there.

The folktale, not an actual person. [ But that didn't matter much, a name was a name.]

His job is to protect you, no matter what. He failed. [ How fortunate that Soubi isn't here.]

Are you somewhere safe now?

I am, with a friend. He made sure to get healers and people to help me... he's not letting anyone near me right now. [Not even the you in game.]

What friend is this? [ Not that he expects to know who they really are, but it might be just the tiniest bit of comforts.]

Ritsuka, you need to stay safe.

Ciel Phantomhive, if you ever met him? He's not from our world... he... only has one eye too.

I know of him, the watchdog. [ And the truth about his eye...]

Ritsuka. Don't trust anyone but yourself.

And you?

You've already decided that question for yourself, haven't you?

I do trust you, I love you... I just don't agree with everything you've done, Seimei.

[Just...glaring. What are you up to, Seimei?]

Hello, Zero. [ You didn't expect him to back down now, did you?]

[His ears twitch.]

What do you have planned?

[He's not backing down either.]

So suspicious.

Who says I'm planning anything? [ Demeanor unflinching.]

It's merited. [Don't use that mask on him.] You're always planning something. It's your nature.

Is that so?

All I'm doing is informing my mun that her plans for me are imprudent, that's all. [ Well, it's slightly more than that, as Natsuo guessed...]

Because they conflict with your own. [Yeah, he gets it.] Ritsuka is off limits.

I hardly think it's alarming that I don't wish to go to a place that functions as near slavery. [ He exaggerates, but only slightly.]

Ritsuka is none of your concern, Zero.

It's not up to you in the end. You should negotiate. [i.e. don't be creepy.] Wrong. He's my friend.

I must have missed the part of where I asked for your opinion. [ Even sound advice falls on deaf ears.]

He's my brother.

As charming as ever. [He might be Youji-less, but he knows he's not alone. Not really.]

He's my friend.

[ There's no need to be cordial to Zeroes.]

Repetition is a poor argument.

Only if it's a lie.

What's the saying: blood is thicker than water?

We have a bond you'll never understand.

I have Youji. I understand your bond.

That doesn't mean it's healthy.

That bond is artificial, just like you.
