That thing you do.

[Oh, look, it's a memory playing out. In fact, it's this one.

How pleasant.]

[Souji doesn't respond because the memory starts up. He's silent while it plays out, watching the faces of his friends throughout. When it ends, he looks over at Adachi.]

That isn't exactly a secret anyway.

action

[pierrotlafraude]

Talk about anti-climactic.

. . . I shouldn't complain, but c'mon!

action

[eatsyourscience]

What were you expecting?

action

[pierrotlafraude]

Something that was not that.

action

[eatsyourscience]

Some parallel world where you triumphed? A future with your victorious comeback?

action

[pierrotlafraude]

I don't really care about that. I know neither of those would ever happen, so what's the point?

action

[eatsyourscience]

At least you didn't see something you didn't want to see. Just something that made you uncomfortable.

action

[pierrotlafraude]

I didn't want to see anything. I was hoping it'd be a thing. I guess that's dumb since we have the closets, but come on.

action

[eatsyourscience]

Like what?

action

[pierrotlafraude]

I don't know. See, that's the fun part about receiving something! You don't really think about what you're getting, so it's a surprise.

action

[eatsyourscience]

I guess so.

[Souji steps back out into the hallway.]

Now no one will bother you about your key.

action

[pierrotlafraude]

[Adachi follows him, closing the door behind them.]

And you owe me one. I'd say I got a few things out of all of this.

action

[eatsyourscience]

[The door disappears behind them. Souji, meanwhile, was hoping that part would be forgotten.]

You know I won't do some things.

[Not killing anyone for you, bro.]

action

[pierrotlafraude]

[He still wasn't quite sure what he wanted, but just having it was enough. It was all harmless fun, after all.]

Weeeeell, we'll just have to see what comes up, right?

action

[eatsyourscience]

I guess so.

[Just saying.]

action

[pierrotlafraude]

[He starts off down the hall, waving a hand.]

Guess I'll be seeing you, huh.

action

[eatsyourscience]

You're welcome.

action

[pierrotlafraude]

[He just gives him another wave of his hand over his shoulder at that.]

action

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji watches him go, then heads off as well.]
