Show me the law that says that.

[unsync]

Why does it have to be a law? I literally just said it's morally right.

Why would you ever think I'd tell you, in good conscience, to wander around alone at night?

[foreverphantom]

You seem like the type of guy to really follow the letter of the law.

But if you have an extra set of moral stipulations...first of all, it's like, hardly even "night." And second of all, the whole "hero" thing might be new to you, but it's old hat for some of us. Wandering around at night is part of the job.

[unsync]

Well. Yeah. I keep saying I work in the law.

[ So like, he should probably be following those rules if he's going to work in the industry. ]

Why are you so bent on being combative? Isn't it enough that we just saw two deaths with our own eyes in a matter of days? How am I in the wrong for telling you to be careful and go inside?

[foreverphantom]

[ help my peanut brain already forgot ]

Because it's real bold of you to act like you can tell me what to do. What if sitting outside in the dark is how I want to handle two people dead?

[unsync]

[ SDHFKD it's okay he's a little bit vague about it. ]

...

[ He grits his teeth a little like he wants to snap back, but ultimately, he doesn't. ]

And what if how I want to handle two people dead is at least knowing other people aren't in danger?

[foreverphantom]

If you're out here, doesn't that mean you're in danger too?

[unsync]

I work with the law. If I'm too scared to put myself in danger then I'm not going to be saving anybody.

It's more important to stop things from happening before more people get hurt.

[foreverphantom]

...have you considered that you're not the only one who thinks like that?

[unsync]

Of course not. The world would be a terrible place if I was the only person who was like that.

[foreverphantom]

Then why are you going around telling other people ready to put themselves in danger to help others not to? You know, spread the wealth and all that. [ except, like. spread the bad decisions ]

[unsync]

Why would I encourage other people to put themselves in danger.

You just want to be contrary to me just for the heck of it, don't you.

[foreverphantom]

I can't say that's not part of it. You make it really easy.

[unsync]

[ SIGHS... but internally supposes better Danny just bully him where he's in Ryuki's sight than off alone.

But still, 'twas a hefty sigh. ]

[foreverphantom]

...did you know either of them well?

[unsync]

...No.

I only knew them since we all arrived in this city. A week.

[foreverphantom]

Well, I mean, yeah, same with us all. But like, Nimona got really close with Rocket in just a week.

[unsync]

...I'm just not that good at making friends.

[foreverphantom]

...right. [ yeah man. he can tell. ]

Well. I guess it's...better that you didn't get too close to them, I guess. Or else it would've just made it harder.

[unsync]

[ It also doesn't help when it's like a comically regular thing that there is just never anybody his own age around the place. ]

That's a pretty grim way to look at it...

[ He just doesn't want to agree out loud, because it's... depressing. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ he just kind of shrugs one shoulder ]

It's a pretty grim situation.

[unsync]

...It is.

So that's why I just... I just don't want to see anyone get hurt, okay? Especially for no reason.

I can't force you to go back to the dorm but just be careful.

[foreverphantom]

Like I said. I can go intangible through pretty much anything that would hurt me in the first place. If anything, you're the one who needs to be careful.

Have a little faith, will you?

[unsync]

I can handle it. It just doesn't sit right to just go, "okay then!" and just let it be.

I'd rather be annoying than deal with more blood on my hands because I couldn't prevent something.

[foreverphantom]

[ looks off in the distance ]

Hmmm. I guess so.
