Hey.  I’m not into public introductions, it feels like AA or something.  Name’s Rudolf Ushiromiya, just got a few questions here for the rest of you.

Anyone know how exactly they decide where you go?  It’s like a horoscope, right?  Personalities and all that.  So what’s the formula, if you want specifics, it’d be Baldr.  If you don’t like how they judged you, who do you talk to about getting a switch?  I don’t like the idea of somebody just assuming who I am.

Oh yeah, and what kind of jobs are up for grabs, or businesses that might be needed.  This suite doesn’t really suit my tastes.  …And I guess I’m gonna have to buy cigarettes.

[wow weird]

...Um. I'm sorry f-for asking all these questions.

[gunsgoldgirls]

It's fine, I don't mind. ...You don't know if Battler's talked about it at all, do you?

[burntviolet]

As far as I k-know... no, he hasn't.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Huh, I see. Thanks.

Anyway, how about you? I guess you'd be in school? That's a littler easier to take.

[burntviolet]

... Y-yes, I was a-attending last year in Yamaku High School b-before I was sent here.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Oh, even Battler's age, no wonder he was trying to chat you up.

[burntviolet]

I... g-guess that'd be the reason. [She sighs softly.]

[gunsgoldgirls]

More like the icing on the cake.

[burntviolet]

Ah...really?

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah, there's no way that could be the only reason, and we both said the same thing, right? So it's only 'cause it's true.

[burntviolet]

I see... [AWKWARD]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Good on you not buying into whatever crap he's selling, though.

[burntviolet]

Well... I- I don't trust p-people like him very m-much. [Not to say she trusts you either, sir 8|]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[uwoo, she's too young for him anyway, it's okay!!!]

Oh, he's not a bad guy, just a dumbass.

[burntviolet]

... I see. Y-you're his father, you hold a b-better judgement than me...

[WHICH IS TO SAY SHE KIND OF AGREES]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[He shrugs] Not really, we hardly talk, you might know him way better.

[burntviolet]

... Really you don't?

[She blinks]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Nah, he doesn't like me, probably doesn't help calling him a dumbass.

[burntviolet]

... That's a b-bit sad.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Just how it is, I guess. Most people start to hate their parents eventually for one reason or other. Especially teenagers, right?

[burntviolet]

Ah... [Ouch. That presses a certain button.]

I... I l-loved my parents.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Ah...past tense? Uh, hey, sorry, I bet you did. No, still do, you don't just stop, right?

[burntviolet]

I... s-still do... [Her voice falters quickly.]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah, see. Besides, if I can still end up here, maybe your parents could too, right?

[burntviolet]

[... She never tought of that.]

... Maybe...
