[ squints at him cause what the fuck. ]

I'm not going to kill Mineo.

[enfangs]

Just checking.

[munches on more chips]

[mukagen]

There's no reason to, anyway.

[ munches some more, too. ]

Suguru ended up cracking from seeing so many deaths, so he... Walked the wrong path is the best way to say it. He became a threat to everyone—went crazy thinking that the only way to protect sorcerers is to kill humans so we don't need to fight curses and risk our lives anymore.

[ NOTHING LIKE MINEO. ]

Stupid, right?

[enfangs]

... I mean, I'm a mass murderer, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask that? [munch.] But leader types with power usually get some whacked up ideas sooner or later, I guess.

[mukagen]

Exactly! It's leadership with screwed up ideas that are ridiculous? It's impossible for him to wipe out regular humans, but I guess that would be a reason to come here.

[ Gojou doesn't seem to mind that White is a mass murderer? The vibe is very chill, just ridiculing Getou a bunch. ]

What was your reason for killing? If you don't mind that I ask.

[enfangs]

[...

it's hard to say exactly what white is feeling right now. it's not shame or regret, but there's still something akin to discomfort.]

To survive.

[which is... a vague answer, but it's hard to sum up his reasons.

he gestures at his horn.]

One of the fundamentals of our group was that we were a superior existence to humans, blah blah, and we hunted 'em down to devour their souls and extend our lifespans. Well, in the end, we ourselves were just a bunch of humans who got deluded after obtaining power, but that was how it was.

[mukagen]

Woah, that's pretty bad.

[ But Gojou doesn't seem... To pity him. There's sympathy in how he wishes White didn't have to go through that, but sometimes life is what it is. Overall, not condemning and judging. ]

Do you like it better here?

[enfangs]

Whatever, they're all dead now.

[when white feels sympathy coming from gojou, there's a note of confusion because that's not an emotion he expected.]

... Eh, things are shitty here in their own way. But there's some stuff that's nice, I guess.

[mukagen]

[ Don't worry about it. Gojou isn't normal. Pensive, there's a calm, then warm feelings spill. ]

... Yeah. That's a good way to put it. There's some stuff that's nice.

[enfangs]

[he really doesn't know what to do with gojou's warm feelings, so white's primary emotion is just. awkward.]

... Yup.

[




stuffs more chips into his mouth]

[mukagen]

[ .... aw, white. so awkward. he keeps stealing more chips. ]

You're uncomfortable?

[enfangs]

What? No. You can, uh, go ahead and live your best life.

[mukagen]

... What does that exactly mean?

[ He's curious what White thinks it means. ]

[enfangs]

I'm trying that thing where I have empathy for you and your happiness! Geez!

[mukagen]

That doesn't work unless you actually have it, White?!

[ HOLY SHIT this is kind of funny?

and sweet?

both? ]

[enfangs]

Don't be so picky!

[mukagen]

I'm not being picky! I'm saying that I'd rather you be honest?

[enfangs]

It's not like I hate the idea of you having nice things.

[mukagen]

I want you to be happy, too.

[ And there's like no feeling of deceit or amusement in that. It's genuine. ]

[enfangs]

[CHOKES ON THE CHIP HE WAS EATING]

[mukagen]

[ OH??? He pats his back to help with that??

Here? Some soda? Water? Whatever liquid?! ]

[enfangs]

[thanks he'll gulp it down, before he coughs.]

[mukagen]

You okay?

[ No more pats in case that hurts White, instead just making sure that he's upright. ]

[enfangs]

Fine. [cough] Fine!

[mukagen]

[ Gojou will wait until White stops coughing, holding another bottle of water just in case.

He'd bust up laughing, but he has to make sure White doesn't die first. ]
