[cursedtolive]

... I thought he would be mad at me.

[hououji]

For what? He doesn't seem the type to hold a grudge.

[cursedtolive]

[ He goes quiet.]

I wasn't like this before.

[hououji]

[She gives him a look. Not an angry one, but not a sad or pitying one really.

More wanting to understand than anything.]

You've been through a great deal.

[cursedtolive]

[He resists the urge to look away.

He hates it because he can't even cry and ask why this happened, because he knows. He knows everything Fermet ever knew.]

I'm just... old.

[hououji]

You are. Older than most people have to deal with.

... It must make you tired.

[cursedtolive]

It does. I guess I don't have a lot of choices, though.

[hououji]

... It seems like it gets a little easier when you don't try to do it on your own.

[cursedtolive]

But I already told you how I feel about the others. Mortals die. I'll be on my own anyway.

[hououji]

... Even if you're a mortal, people will die, you know. For a while, I thought I'd never see some of my dearest friends ever again. Or the person I love.

But I think it was worth it to have known him and loved him... And he knows there's a chance I'll die centuries before him. But even a little bit of time with him is worth it, I think...

[cursedtolive]

[He puts his hands on the table and taps his fingertips together.]

... You were with good people.

Charon, too, I think. He has his sister. I want him to go home.

[hououji]

There are good people left in the world. Certainly, there's at least twice as many bad people, but...

Maybe you're looking in the wrong places.

[cursedtolive]

I told myself I wouldn't trust anybody. That still hasn't changed.

It's been two hundred years. Sure, I haven't seen the whole world, but I've seen plenty of it and there aren't that many good people out there. Why get my hopes up?

[hououji]

... Because it's 2012, and you've met a good person.

[cursedtolive]

[He's not sure if Charon counts.]

But this is Santa Destroy and if it was anywhere else, I would've killed a good person within a week of meeting her.

[hououji]

Well, you must not have taken the chance to kill Charon-san if he knows you from home.

[cursedtolive]

... He's Claire Stanfield's spawn descendant.

I wouldn't touch him.

[hououji]

He asked about him, you know. Charon-san, about Claire-san.

[cursedtolive]

[Czes looks at her.]

... Yeah?

[hououji]

... I can understand his curiosity, really.

I'd love to know about my family when they were younger. [Fuu felt Czes might want to know about this curiosity.]

[cursedtolive]

... Where I come from, there's a name you'd know if you're part of the underworld. He's a mercenary and people know him for the way he kills -- there's so much blood, like you spilled a bottle of wine. They call him Vino.

The way he killed around on the train... that's gotta be him.

[hououji]

... [And Charon seems so nice.]

[cursedtolive]

[And Charon's great grandmother's father is a terrorist how's that.

Czes just shudders once and crosses his arms.]

Charon's just a movie actor. He's not like him.

[hououji]

No one has to be like their relatives.

[cursedtolive]

No, but he's definitely similar to some of his other relatives, though.
