[well seeing someone be skewered sure sucked but you know who has great coping methods? belph does! but for once, it's not drinking.

it's making other people miserable.

like akechi.]

I didn't know you were allergic to physical contact, detective.

Comments

[axilium]

... You know what? You and Eichi are a match made in heaven.

[doublecrows]

[oh my GOD]

Rest assured, I don't carry those sorts of feelings for Tenshouin at all. That should be the end of it.

[why is his life like this!!]

[axilium]

Unrequited love! How tragic.

... Anyway, none of this changes the fact that you're stuck with him.

[doublecrows]

How tragic. I believe he'll get over it just fine.

. . . and yes, you're right. Our fates are intertwined, regardless of how I feel.

[axilium]

So you might as well get along with him!

[doublecrows]

We. . . get along well enough. I'm perfectly pleased with our dynamic, all of Tenshouin's unnecessary comments aside.

[axilium]

He did say that the two of you were rather similar.

[doublecrows]

[blinks]

. . . did he say how?

[axilium]

What's this? Are you curious?

[doublecrows]

Naturally. I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't.

[axilium]

What do you think the two of you have in common?

[doublecrows]

Absolutely nothing.

[l o l]

[axilium]

Really now? And yet you're pleased with your dynamic?

[doublecrows]

Our goals are in alignment. That's enough for me.

[axilium]

I would think "staying alive" to be a universal goal.

[doublecrows]

And we're both in agreement that staying alive should be our main focus. That's more than enough for me.

[axilium]

Yeah, but the way you put it makes it sound like the two of you are planning to slaughter everyone to get out of here.

[doublecrows]

[wh]

[PLEASE THAT IS TOO MUCH EVEN FOR AKECHI]

We. . . we aren't. Incidentally.

[axilium]

[ARE YOU SURE]

I mean, "Our goals are in alignment" is what two villains would say before teaming up together. Just saying.

[doublecrows]

I'm a detective, Belph-san. Traditionally, that means I'm on the side of the law.

[axilium]

What a boring response. Where's your imagination?

[doublecrows]

I utilize it in solving difficult cases, not in making comparisons to fictional concepts.

[anyway, he's a villain]

[axilium]

Then, what? Are you saying you became a detective out of a sense of justice, and not because it seemed like an interesting job?

[doublecrows]

That's right.

[FUNNY STORY: it's technically not a lie]

I believe that's the best reason to pursue a job in law enforcement.

[axilium]

Doesn't seem to stop there from being corrupt members, though.
