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.]

[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.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

...


Yes. That I understand.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Ah, damn. I was hoping you were a lucky one.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

... I was created as a prototype stealth unit. It was my purpose to train the model they built, based on my design. To test him.

And when that was complete, they had no further use for me. I was to be erased.

To them... I was a tool. A piece of technology to be used as they saw fit. My life was never meant to be my own.

No. I'm not the lucky one.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

[Change's first thought is that nothing seems stealthy about Kagerou, but he keeps that opinion to himself.]

Damn buddy, I'm sorry, not that will do much good. Maybe here you can think on what you want your life to be.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

[Change if you could see the crazy place he comes from... He's the quietest thing there is.]

It's finished, now. I... left.

[More like, 'was allowed to escape', but hey.]

I know. I have to do that. I... promised that I would.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

That's a good promise I think.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Yes.

I thought so too. It was good of him to... give me the chance.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Yeah, I agree. I hope you find what you're after. If I can, I'll give you a hand.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

You will?

How?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Well, I can listen to what you have to say the very least. Sometimes talking helps.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Does it really?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

It's helped me.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

[Silence.]




Where do you start? When you... talk about things?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Wherever you want to start.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

I... told you some of it already.

Is that a start?
