[He very visibly tries to put on an air of everything is fine.]

Ah... It's not really about what should or shouldn't happen, right? Things just happen and we have to deal with them.

[sistocracy]

... True.

It looked like the two of you were on good terms. Seemed a bit cruel, considering how many people there were apparently eager to see him die.

[housewolf]

.. Yeah. We've been friends for a while now.

I don't know who's deciding these match ups.

[sistocracy]

I was fond of Fukuda, myself.

He was... a lot of things. [a serial killer??] But he was logical. Kind, in a way. He went out of his way to help me.

[housewolf]

Right?

He's a strange person, but he was always kind to me. Is it strange to say I'll miss him?

[sistocracy]

Not at all. I feel the same.

... Maybe it was better, that he got to spend his last moments with a friend. Someone who'd listen.

[housewolf]

I'm not sure anybody else would let him talk.

[He knows what the general air towards Fukuda is. It's hard to say they're wrong for it, but... they're still friends in the end.

That's what made watching him die so painful.]

[sistocracy]

[she chuckles at that.] I would have. But... yes. Most wouldn't.

It wasn't his time to die, but he was able to go out with some dignity. So... thank you, for allowing him that.

[housewolf]

[He nods.

And then he shudders, because he really doesn't like thinking about that ice cold corpse in his hands shattering into pieces.]

On his own terms.

[sistocracy]

[she reaches out to put a hand on his arm, up by his shoulder.]

You're stronger than I thought.

[housewolf]

[He offers her a soft, cautious smile.]

... I'm doing my best here. That's all, really.

[sistocracy]

I know. But it's one thing to survive, and another to do it without compromising who you are.

You're a compassionate person. That's admirable.

[housewolf]

Thank you, Lenore. It's harder here than I'm used to.

Still, I don't want to change who I am.
