Comments

[nachetanya]

Ah? I thought you might not appreciate my attempts to work information out of you by pressing things repeated, you might prefer me being more direct!

[transmittable]

[ About a minute delay. ]

touche.

i don't know. you might get me to. it's all been spur-of-the-moment.

[nachetanya]

I could be wrong, maybe you find the sparring fun. I have.

Are you busy now?

[transmittable]

bantering. i call it bantering.

not really. it's already been a long day though.

[nachetanya]

Oh, it has for us. Why was it so long for you?

[transmittable]

i never like these days but i really didn't like this one, alright?

i don't want to get into it.

[nachetanya]

Why not? We made a breakthrough a few days ago.

[transmittable]

i don't want to get into it with anyone.

[nachetanya]

Did you particularly like or dislike Yusuke or Gant?

[transmittable]

no. stylistic seemed like a nice kid. gant was a piece of work but he didn't really get under my skin before.

[nachetanya]

... Does that mean he does now?

[transmittable]

he's a piece of work. if it wasn't him it would've been someone else eventually.

[nachetanya]

Gotten under your skin? Are he and I that different?

[transmittable]

not in this way. this isn't teasing or anything.

[nachetanya]

Ah.

Well, I'm curious, but I don't want to make you more uncomfortable.

Can I settle your nerves somehow?

[transmittable]

[ thirty seconds of delay. ]

dunno. sure.

[nachetanya]

How?

[transmittable]

what do you feel like talking about?

[nachetanya]

All that's on my mind now is Gant. Well, Gant and Tsubasa.

Better to go apart from both...

Why don't you tell me a story? It'll give your fingers something to do.

[transmittable]

another one? alright.

once there was a young woman who was a monster. she was very comfortable being a monster, because that's what gave her the most pleasure. for hundreds of years, she and those close to her terrorized the world, until their group separated. due to magic, due to time, and she was on her own.

she indulged in every hedonistic way she could throughout the centuries. she crossed paths with old friends who no longer were such, and she died, once, but it didn't last forever.

one day, she found something had changed. she started feeling things again, things she hadn't felt in hundreds and hundreds of years, from before she became a monster. she was very angry about this. it was from something beyond her control. from a life inside her. the monster woman raved and raged but she couldn't fight the growing love towards the life.

she knew though, it would have a horrible existence. the young monster woman didn't know what to do, besides hope and pray. that was something she also hadn't done in centuries. she prayed and she cursed her fate at the same time. she lived a paradoxical monster life.

[ ... ]

that's the end of the story.

[nachetanya]

That isn't very conclusive. If that one was also you friend, they must've led a very confusing life.

[transmittable]

well, i never found out the end of that one.

[nachetanya]

What stopped it from reaching an end?

[transmittable]

it probably had one. i just never found it out. we weren't super close. we just talked every so often.

[nachetanya]

That makes sense. I couldn't tell you most of the stories of the others.
