I'm sure there's a number of you that've met this guy called 'Kaz'. Short, freak-eyed, limited vocabulary? Emotionally stunted? That's him. He's a bed-wetter. Likely because of some deep-rooted trauma from his childhood, like an overbearing parent or sibling. Makes sense, that he'd cover up his insecurities with bullying, but that's usually what happens... So next time you see him, remember: He's hurting and embarrassed too. Maybe talking to him, or writing him a letter might help, just so he knows he's not alone.

I guess it doesn't matter. He'll get both. [Still no answers for her, though. She supposes that doesn't matter, either. She can come up with her own, in this case.]

Right on target.

[Just keep his other words to her at heart: stay out of his way, and you'll be fine. Not that it's... really an option for her. But at least his suspicion hasn't been triggered, yet.]

[She didn't need to be told to do that, but Naminé's an accomplished meddler. While she wouldn't even be talking to him right now if not for the ability to remain anonymous, not being involved at all just isn't possible. She'll be affected if he hurts someone from their world, and she'll be affected if he does manage to form the X-blade or do anything else destructive - it's not like she can just abandon this world for another and never look back. Even if it was possible to leave, it wouldn't be possible to just let everything go, at least not for her.]

What did he do? [To deserve either, she means.]

Like that's any of your business. But if you're so curious, that explanation up there is all truth.

[Like it's any of her business, indeed. She wasn't expecting to have much luck, anyway.]

How do you know that? [~~It might actually be her business--~~ Because if someone actually told him that, way to wreck your relationships, Vanitas.]

I've got ways of finding these things out.

[Wrecking his relationships comes second nature to him, really...]

[Ways? ... She finds herself reconsidering talking to him at all, anonymously or not, but then she reminds herself that that's something else entirely. He's not omniscient, for heaven's sake. ~~He can't just steal information from memories like she can-- used to be able to.~~]

Ways? [Although she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't answer that one.]

[He's certainly very talented at making people mad.]

You could say I'm observant.

[... Hopefully not TOO observant. If it was someone else, she'd be glad to hear that there's someone who pays attention, but given the situation....]

How observant? [He's already proven himself a stalker when necessary ~~although so has she~~.]

Enough. You've invested a lot of questions so far.

[which is Vanitas for: I'm getting highly suspicious of your interest.]

[Well

shoot. What's the best way to shrug that off without lying?]

I like to be observant too.

Then you won't flinch if I run into you sometime.

[--....]

[The way that's phrased--]

What makes you say that?

In case I wanna know who I'm talking to.

[Okay, okay. She can't assume he already knows, although she is growing more anxious by the moment.]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of remaining anonymous?

[Her purposes, anyway.]

All it says to me is that you've got something to hide.

[Doesn't everyone?]

[She kind of (really) wants to just stop talking to him right now before she's found out, but that would just make him more suspicious, wouldn't it?]

There are people on the network who aren't very nice. [~~He should know because he is one of those people, after all.~~ So that's a perfectly good excuse to want to remain anonymous, right?] Maybe I would prefer that they don't know who I am.
