No, please. Do continue overreaching. Plugging your ears against the inevitable won't change it, I only wish you'd leave me out of it for once.

I can't imagine why I'm reluctant. Why wouldn't I want to go to a place where the world's been destroyed, to live on a spaceship [ no he will absolutely not admit that that part sounds cool ], subjected to all sorts of absurdity?

The train doesn't cancel it out. Stuck on a train for an indefinite period, wonderful. With your sadism, I'll be bunked with someone with horrible motion sickness. I'm looking forward to it.

Finally, stop blaming me for your bad habits. I'm not forcing you to stay up for spoilers, I'm not the one expecting too much of myself in this arc.

This nonsense is why I said no.

Wh- be quiet, I'm not whining!

A victim.

[ No, a little too powerless. ]

An idiot too, I suppose.

[malasuerte]

Then you're gonna have a blast, oi. Stop complainin'.

[ BE A MAN ]

[repelling]

I refuse to have fun. Simply because you haven't enough self-respect to protest these circumstances...

[ WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT.

but he does deflate a little. ]

But, I am wasting my breath.

[ Not like complaining has ever made a difference before. ]

[malasuerte]

I don't mind 'em so much. Lots of strong guys hangin' around.

[ SERIOUSLY MAN, SPEND ENERGY ON BATTLES YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN ]

And that just occurred to you? Really?

1/2

[repelling]

[ ...it must be nice to be so easily pleased... ]

[repelling]

Of course not!

Even if- even if it's pointless in the long run, even if I am absolutely powerless in deciding my future, at the very least, I will have a voice!

[malasuerte]

Go down swinging. Not bad.

[ WASTE OF ENERGY THOUGH ]

Don't wear yourself out, oi.

[repelling]

If only I could literally.

[ Yeah no he wouldn't. His mun may not deserve his courtesy but not only is she a girl, the most battle experience she has is dropping chopsticks. ]

As if I'd be so easily drained.

[ Too bad for the rest of the world. ]

[malasuerte]

[ yo look, chopsticks are a formidable opponent!! ]

Aa. Lucky us.

What's that other place?

[repelling]

[ what is that supposed to mean ]

A train. The mystery is very much under wraps, of course, so there's not much more that can be said. No one can get off, abilities won't damage the train, all of that.

[malasuerte]

That sounds...

[ Interesting! ]

interesting...

You don't wanna go there either? Not that you've got a choice-- but hey, it might be fun.

[repelling]

I'd rather not go anywhere. Only our world.

[ Only, the plaintive righteous indignation has evaporated, because- in fact- ]

It [ yes he can admit it. really. just. say it. ] sounds interesting. I can't say I mind the possibility of a purpose, of something to unravel.

[malasuerte]

No sense of adventure?

[ REMEMBER WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO HERE, IKKAKU ]

Well uh... the library's pretty big! That's your kinda thing, right?

[repelling]

Isn't there enough in our world? I don't like to leave things unfinished.

[ WOW HE HAS A SENSE OF ADVENTURE

ALSO SERIOUSLY RIGHT TO THE LIBRARY, JUST BECAUSE IT'S TRUE... ]

The variety and type of book supplied should also be worth examining.

[malasuerte]

Well the way it's been goin', there ain't all that much left...

[ SEE ISN'T THAT COOL ]

And lots'a alien stuff, yeah.

[repelling]

Might as well see it through before starting something else.

[ Alien stuff... ]

Fascinating. Perhaps I could learn to read an alien language!
