I'm the only guy left with three strikes. I mean, Gavin cleared them, but to me they're still there. I don't really buy into things like forgiveness because whatever we did, it happened and nothing's gonna change it. That girl's still dead, isn't she? Anyway, Charlie isn't around, neither is his boss and nobody's seen Keller.

Akito, you left your fish here.

Charlie's gone?

[behemothed]

Looks like it.

[hostbu]

Well. Thank you for telling me.

[sharkish]

Ah, did I? Thanks, Akira-kun, I was wondering where it had gone to! I kind of wish they'd had real fish at the festival... but it was fun! Thanks for going with me!

[sharkish]

I'm sorry so many of your friends are gone, Akira-kun. I've been being really selfish about all of these disappearances, haven't I?

[sharkish]

But I'm glad you had your strikes removed anyway.

[behemothed]

It doesn't really change anything.

[sharkish]

I think it changes a couple of things.

Besides, didn't something get into your head? It got into Agito's.

[behemothed]

Agito can think whatever he wants, but I don't take excuses for stuff I did.

[sharkish]

You didn't want to, though, right?

[behemothed]

Seems like I do lots of stuff I don't want do.

[sharkish]

Anyway I'm glad you're here instead of whatever maximum-security prison they'd have taken you to.

[behemothed]

Yeah, well. I'm glad you aren't in any trouble either.

[behemothed]

Nah. That guy was the most important anyway. Don't worry about me.

[sharkish]

since when have you been mr self-sacrificing

[behemothed]

Since when? I went with Kaito in exchange for like three hundred people and your dying ass!

[hadhefidelity.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that's one way of looking at it. The truth was there, and that was what mattered.

I'm glad I could be of service.

[behemothed]

Thanks for your help.

[hadhefidelity.livejournal.com]

You still believe you were at fault? I feel as if I wasn't convincing enough.

[behemothed]

Look like I said, she still died. Her and those other people and even when I beat the shit out of Parkman. I'm responsible for it, even if it wasn't my fault.

[telepathics]

You beat the shit out of me on your own.

[behemothed]

Yeah, I remember.

[hadhefidelity.livejournal.com]

Then we see things differently. Still, I'll choose not to argue with you. I hope you find peace.

[telepathics]

You don't have to keep beating yourself up over it, you know.

[behemothed]

I didn't say this stuff for you to feel sorry for me.

[telepathics]

I don't. Believe me.

[behemothed]

It's cool. I bet you sympathize with the mind control bastard, you two got loads in common.

[telepathics]

Yeah, Akira. I sympathize with the criminal. Because that's just the kind of cop I am.

[behemothed]

C'mon, Parkman. There are lots of kinds of cops. You know, the ones that can read, the ones who catch perps, the ones who can actually do their job without tricking other people into doing it for them. But you aren't any of those!

[telepathics]

The ones who actually want to help people and not just shoot at moving targets?

[behemothed]

Can you even hit a target?

[telepathics]

Yeah. Thanks for checking though.

[behemothed]

Anytime.
