[She shifts in her place, visibly uncomfortable. It’s one thing to avoid answering something, but she isn’t that good at lying. So she’ll do the obvious thing and remain quiet.]
[That makes her smile a little. True, she may be a monster, but there are still people who want to be her friends. Even if one of them is gone now, even he’s going to come back eventually.]
You... ["You are too kind". She wonders if it’s difficult, having to live while being like that.] You are right. Thank you.
[Lace may seem kind but his life isn't a kind one. He had to kill, he got verbally and physically abused by his superiors when he did something they thought was wrong. But that's normal isn't it? He didn't have a family so there was no one who'd care.
In fact it was almost like he didn't exist in the outside world.]
I am glad that you see that....[He smiles, it's small but it's there. He likes seeing people smile at him. He didn't get to see it much since Robin died.]
[There is something off about him, Anri thinks (and the demon sword inside her very much agrees), but he still sounded sincere. She definitely notices that smile, as small as it may be.]
[Anri hasn’t met someone who gives off the same "vibe" as her before. It’s very surprising.]
Me? N-no, not at all. [She doesn’t feel love for anyone. The spirit inside her whispers things about cutting everybody she meets at all times, and the only thing she can feel is jealousy, because the demon sword at least has a (very twisted) way of loving. She’s pretty sure that a kind person isn’t like that.]
I’m...I-I’m sorry if this is rude, but were you...? [Forgotten.]
[Oh. Anri knows how that feels. She isn't social-skilled enough to know what to say, but she's still going to try. This feels strangely like talking to a younger version of herself.]
B-but...it’s not...always going to be like that. [It wasn’t for her, right? And if even she could meet people who accepted her, then everybody should. Right?]

It's the truth. Not about my "mun", but...still.

[He gazed at her when she asked that. Golden eyes showing hidden sadness.]
......I've been forgotten...[Sometimes he wishes that the ones who were 'mean' forgot him. But sadly life isn't like that]
I'm...not very important to most...So it doesn't matter as much....
