it takes some time, but at some point, belph will be seeking hikage out, carrying two cups of tea. it doesn't surprise him to find hikage doing much of nothing.]
[ it's not ironic because hikage hates himself too... he's aware. ]
When I was alive... Well, I don't remember anyone like that. I had my sister. [ family probably doesn't count. god knows the rest of them couldn't stand him - the bastard son. ] In the manor, I only had servants. At first, I tried talking to the other souls, but they would all disappear sooner or later.
[ it became more satisfying to him to manipulate them in entertaining ways than to try and form any real connections with them; after all, they'd just end.
but also, in other words, no, he hasn't had any friends. ]
[ now he looks embarrassed, and he pointedly takes a drink from the tea. It's cooled off significantly by now - still, Hikage feels oddly warm inside. This situation is hellish, without a doubt; his existence could be snuffed out at any moment. He doesn't want to go back to the other manor, and he doesn't want to return to his old life, either, knowing what he does now. He doesn't know what the future holds for him.
But for now... he thinks he's happy, just a little. ]

You think everything is making fun of you, man...

[ you untrustworthy otome gremlin! why did he put his affection here... ]

[he absolutely can, and that's a very good question, hikage...]
