I don't want to go.

It won't be so bad. It's peaceful there...

[Sort of.]

[erasure]

I don't care. [He doesn't care about peaceful. He doesn't deserve peaceful even.]

I don't want to go there...

[warriorscribe]

Why not? You had friends there last time, didn't you?

[He doesn't know if any of them are still there, though...]

[erasure]

[Friends... He doesn't exactly do friends. At least that's what he tells himself.]

No.

[warriorscribe]

[Trying to find something nice about this situation with this kid was like pulling teeth...]

Well, surely there's something you want that could be found there... I met a friend I wouldn't have been able to spend time with again otherwise, for instance.

[erasure]

[Firmly;] No.

[warriorscribe]

[It's really not such a bad place! How in the world is he supposed to get through?]

Well...what is something you want?

[...Not a good question to ask, is it?]

[erasure]

[Nope, nope, nope, nope. Not a good thing to ask, which is obvious in the way he averts his eyes and wraps his arms around himself.]

[warriorscribe]

...I'm sorry.

[A pause. He's got to salvage this somehow, he can't just walk away from this poor kid, that wouldn't be right.

Of course, by now it's a moot point because he's going anyway, but...]

...What sort of game do you think would be right for you?

[erasure]

None. I don't want to be in any game.

[lycoris_radiata]

Huh I didn't think I'd see you here.

[erasure]

... Didn't have a choice. She wouldn't listen, otherwise.

[Actually she didn't listen after all, oops? And she got him in, even, that's worse.]

[lycoris_radiata]

And you couldn't convince her...? [It's not like Yoite is without certain...methods.] You must not hate it completely.

[erasure]

Couldn't. She seems immune to everything I can do.
