On losing a cast-mate

[in_loveless_memory]

It's... alright, he should be back with Youji anyways.

Just... what do I do now?

[Hush Soubi, he's all alone in his game, he's just glad to see you. Though he'll never admit it.]

Are you happy about it?

[theophorous]

I'm not sure. [Seimei was there. But so was... well.] I didn't get acquainted with the place well enough to decide if I liked it or not.

[in_loveless_memory]

I've been in my game for well over a year.

[theophorous]

That long?

[in_loveless_memory]

[He nods.]

It's not been... all bad. [Although when it does it's terrible.]

[theophorous]

That's good to hear. Have you made many friends?

[in_loveless_memory]

A few. [Most of them, Soubi, are the older brother types.]

[theophorous]

[Good. As long as they're more emotionally healthy than Seimei, Soubi won't complain. even if he's a little jealous] That makes me happy.

[in_loveless_memory]

[... Um... well... about that...] It does?

[theophorous]

[... 8|] It does. Should it not?

[in_loveless_memory]

It's hard to tell with you. I never know if you're being serious sometimes.

[theophorous]

Why would I lie about something like that?

[in_loveless_memory]

[You lie about a lot of things Soubi, don't ask him to try and figure out your mind, of all things.]

Because you can.

[theophorous]

I don't lie just because I can, Ritsuka.

[in_loveless_memory]

Um... Soubi... I want to ask you something...

[theophorous]

Yes?

[in_loveless_memory]

Were you happy?

[theophorous]

Mmm... Not exactly, no.

[in_loveless_memory]

Why not?

[theophorous]

There were some people I had to deal with that I'd rather not.

[in_loveless_memory]

Who was it?

[theophorous]

You wouldn't know them. [HE'S LYING. ... half-lying. but. shush.]

[in_loveless_memory]

So then it shouldn't matter if you tell me, right?
