This has been going on long enough. And we still know nothing? Nothing at all?

I've tried opening my door, but there aren't any life signs when I do. So, no, I have nothing useful to add.

[A beat, before:]


... Change. If you're still here... will you answer me?

[Since he doesn't know how to seal an entry yet, he'll go the long route here.]

[gotanysparechange]

Sure buddy, if I can I will.

[He sounds a little busy at the moment and on edge.]

[Audio + Translated Text] forever

[fuckinstoplights]

... Can you tell me anything at all about what's happening here?

I can protect you, in exchange for an answer.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

I appreciate the offer, but I don't know anymore than you do right now. Just trust us, or me at least, we're trying to figure this out.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

None of you have any idea?

How can that happen?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Cause we're only human? Or close enough to it anyway.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Everyone here seems to think you have some kind of control of this place... beyond that of human beings.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

What? Me? I've been gone for a year. Right now I'm still playing catch up.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Not just you. The people in charge here... which the others assume includes you.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Sorry buddy, we may work here but we're not omnipotent.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

I had that figured out when you said you were 'only human.' I'm only telling you what others have said.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Then they think a little too much of us I guess. We're just here to help both you and uh, Deior.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

The lord.

... would he know what's happening here?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Maybe, but good luck getting him to talk to you.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Is it really so difficult to get his attention?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

He's...not the one to deal with the guest's concerns. There are either things he has to attend to.

[Does that line sound practiced? That's because it is.]

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

... You have to say that, don't you?

Someone has made you say it.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

[Have some telling silence there Kagerou.]

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

I see.

Are you allowed to tell me why you have to say it?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Everyone has had a leash around their neck once in their life. Mine is just shorter than most.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

I don't... know what that means, but I'm going to assume it isn't good.

So. I'm sorry.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

It's good that you don't, and don't be sorry.

[Because Change doesn't regret a damn thing.]

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

What does it mean?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

To be on a leash?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Yes. What does that mean?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

It means someone has control over you.
