I don't envy Hot Mess. I can't imagine having to sit there and figure out who's going to be erased. It must be worse than just getting voted for and actually doing it.
Matsu wouldn’t let me. He’d never let me go first, so he’d make me stay behind because neither of us would force Rang or Dee-san to fall on our behalf.
[for love? or to be reunited with the ones they'd like to see? buzen looks thoughtful for a moment before smiling sheepishly]
... I only have my reason, but admittedly it's different because I'm a sword who was forged by humans.
When the other people I want to see are also swords... I think they'd be pretty disappointed in me if I came back, killing people to return to them. They'd feel... guilty, I think.
... it's okay if you don't understand, Yuyu-san. I think everyone has different ways that they go through things. It doesn't really make one better than the other.
[he bumps shoulders with her, offering up a smile]
Asking's a good start.
But... to be honest, even for me, I think there's gonna be things I don't understand about humans. Or even about other non-humans. Our different experiences really shape us.
Hm, that's true... I have my experience I had when I was human, but I also lived over a thousand years ago, so my experience is very different to what life is like now. And then my experience as a Servant on top of that...
[ much to think about ]
Funny, how there can be similarities but so many differences.

I'm surprised they didn't vote for Justice.

I think they talked themselves out of… a lot of things.

[he closes his eyes]
And two of them arrived together, and care about each other a lot.
It’d feel like an impossible decision.
no subject
If you were in that position, would you volunteer?
[ she feels like she might know the answer but it's best to not assume. ]
no subject
[ . . . but otherwise?
of course.]
no subject
[ she can't say she knows them very well, but. it tracks. ]
I don't think I would have. Only if everyone else refused.
no subject
[buzen is the worst enabler of all time but well,]
You have someone you really want to see again, right?
no subject
[ although apparently not enough considering no one is MURDERING EXCEPT FROGGYSTYLE
she does not know it is froggy yet but she is thinking this slightly. ]
no subject
[he'll agree easily enough, but then also... kick his feet out because yeah. it's not like he was going to murder over it.]
... but I also think how people want things also shows up in different ways. What you're willing to give up for it. What you aren't.
no subject
It seems so. I guess there's still a lot about people I need to understand.
no subject
Is it hard to relate to? Being the kind of spirit that you are.
no subject
I think I just don't understand why anyone wouldn't.

[ well, that's not relatable.
yes in the sense of guilt, but no in the sense that guilt would not be a deterrence. ]
Well. Don't change, Buzen.

that just makes him laugh a little bit.]

I just want to try to understand my friends more.

But... I admit, I think that's something I like about it here. [in the graveyard] It's strangely peaceful, despite everything.
[despite the number of mutual murderers around]

[ they don't have to deal with trials? amazing. ]
And I'm happy that we can still help.
