I did say I would kill them.

For you, for them.

If it is possibleto spare them from

becoming killers, then

I shall attempt to make it
so.

[sotobas_lot]

[Another sigh.] I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

This might not be something you want to talk about with me, but you... seem to want to "protect" people from becoming killers, at least directly. But, that's something that you do without hesitation... Something you offer to do generously.

You seem well adjusted, but... [He shouldn't even need to ask; it isn't as if she's an indescriminate murderer or a hobbyist. He's not unsympathetic to soldiers, but there will always be people like Seishin, and there will always be people, even here in this post, who talk about saving everybody and value in all lives. That's necessary for society to function. But so is war.]... Do you think badly about yourself?

[hugmyscythe]

It takes verylittle to kill, you see.

And I think you should know

this, as someone ofyour profession,

how delicate the body may be.

[hugmyscythe]

You should notcare what I

feel about myself,

Ozaki Toshio. As I am

only here to offer

what protection I can.

[sotobas_lot]

[He'll ignore the discussion on the ease or difficulty of killing for now; there's a more important issue.]

You're not an object or a weapon!

[hugmyscythe]

....Ah?Then do tell

what I am.

[sotobas_lot]

I don't know. But you aren't a weapon. The things you fight, the things you kill... they're things you think and decide on. You have self aware sentience. You don't act out of selfishness or instinct.

[hugmyscythe]

Not a weapon, as you have yet to use

me as such.

Not a friend either, for the same reasons.

Do you not see

that at this moment I am nothing to you?[ logic so twisted it comes natural to her ]

[sotobas_lot]

I'm not so utilitarian.

[hugmyscythe]

Of course, of course.

[sotobas_lot]

Then, what do you think of [A beat, as if he's forgotten Shooter's name; he hasn't but he doesn't quite have the nerve to ask about himself. He's not that self centered.] the friend you've brought with you? Is she just an ally against someone you two have to fight now in that ridiculously dangerous world of yours?

[hugmyscythe]

Again, I do not see whyyou care.

[sotobas_lot]

You aren't helping me just for your own entertainment. You're different from him.

[hugmyscythe]

[ ...Kefka. ] ...I must tell you thathe is the least

of your concern of threats

from other members of the community.

[sotobas_lot]

Aa, you've made it clear enough that you're my ally. He's violent and mindless, but not suicidal. You're clearly the stronger one, so If you have the need to feel used for whatever reason, there is that. I really don't feel any threat from him as long as you exist...

[hugmyscythe]

But you still may bein danger

because of me.

[ a hospital, Greed had said. Ozaki and everyone else here. ]

[sotobas_lot]

Your enemy has the ability to cross dimensions?

[hugmyscythe]

He is the onethat took me from

Sotoba during that virus.

[sotobas_lot]

That lech is still bothering you? [At least he was a normal human being, no matter how brash and violent. THIS is something he can deal with.]

[hugmyscythe]

....Ah, it is ratherI am allowing him

to bother me

by letting him live.

[sotobas_lot]

...Eh?

You're thinking of killing him?

[But he's a normal human being; which means at that time, to push her this far, he must have...]

[hugmyscythe]

I have beencontemplating it.

And now that he has

threatened you...

[sotobas_lot]

He's never said a thing to me since that time...

[hugmyscythe]

No?Good.

[sotobas_lot]

Why would he be after me? What the hell have I ever done to him besides try to stop him from... [Which he failed, no less.]
