I've Already Realized | e.ve | MM Trial 420 | RE: Y'all | ATTN: Preston, Koharu, Kaz, Atsuko
As E.ve’s on the ground and his mind goes blank he feels arms wrap around him. A comforting presence in an otherwise stressful environment, clutching onto Kagemori like a lifeline E.ve cried for a while until he came down a bit at which point Kagemori rose back up, but kept their hand in his. A small comfort, but more than E.ve expected to get.
Still gaining purchase to think clearly words were said, and eventually Koharu came around to which he could only shake his head. After the fact though he slowly rose to his feet eyes red, but he didn’t have the time to just cry and do nothing. No not here as much as he wanted to.
Looking down at the key in his hand he finally let go and stared up warily, trying not to look away from anything again.
With a weak smile on his face he gives a nod to Koharu. Fine to what though?
“I won’t just go after just Atsuko. Preston’s the assistant and there’s not a doubt in my mind. I’ve known this since last night or so… he was acting weird with me recently like I think he wanted me to know, but couldn’t tell me directly... happy? There’s more too, but…”
Eyes trailing next to him he makes eye contact with Preston. Tired and hurt, but still apologetic despite his own beliefs towards the other at this point.
“I’ve already said more than I even wanted to against him even if…” They weren’t as close as he thought, that was fine… Maybe. “No reason to bring out evidence towards that point. ”
Saying he knew this… that was probably suspicious too. But he didn’t really care anymore. After all these people were gonna believe what they wanted no matter what, so he just is going to make his case with everything he knows.
“That means yes. Either me or Atsuko is Petbe, and I’ll do my best to tell you why I’m not because you’re whole putting everything on Kage to save me? Bullshit. You’re opinion on Kaz and you needing to save Atsuko is bullshit to. How about you try to find Petbe, and not defend your clear bias that even an emotionless robot refuses to talk about any of the evidence given if it points at the only other main suspect unless it’s to call it a red herring? Yeah. Good programming by the way dude. You should get that fixed.”
With that E.ve sighs and gives a small laugh.
“By the by what kinda name is Petbe? I’m guessin’ it holds some meaning or other, does it stand for dumb bitch? I feel like it does.
So we got the stuff Kage stated that’s solid evidence. And I’ll give you that, anyone’s voice can be pitched down. Though the down pitch would imply someone with a high pitch voice more so than not. Still, not super decisive. I hear you.
Now for the Angel’s Trumpet I’m gonna tell you that’s stupid. The florasona is purely symbolic on the means of the loss of free will. Sure bring in the End of Worlds too I guess? The biblical stuff still doesn’t point to me given I can’t recite anything religious at all if it wasn’t in Saints Young Men honestly. I didn’t even know the meaning of my channel until Atsuko corrected me with some others.
Speaking of, Atsuko knows of the Bible and has corrected me on the Bible stuff… but we’re gonna ignore that and go for the guy with the gag name? Gotcha.
Next. The Cain and Abel stuff. Again that doesn’t… point to me at all? For one I have an older brother named Goro so… I can’t be the first born by any means Kaz. Not even in your hypothetical world where my parents would name the second son "first son”. Sorry to burst your unbiased bubble. My name has the characters for first clear, or bright. You know like light? It’s why I’m such a damn ray of sunshine most of the time.“ He says flatly, with an annoyed voice.
“Also… I haven’t gone by Ichiro in over 3 years. So let’s not call me that right now. Please. You’re point to my name is invalidated beyond it all simply because right now I’m E.ve… and just E.ve. I don’t know who Ichiro is. I’m still trying to figure that out.”
Though there was a momentary pause E.ve was clearly far from done pulling out his modelpad and hesitation upon seeing his reflection before tapping on the screen and looking at the picture of the robotic body he threw in the NMR room (and consequently the picture of Preston stepping on him due to an accidental finger slide which he quickly corrected.) before he flips to text chats and scrolls and scrolls… After he turns his modelpad off and puts it away.
“So… Does no one remember some of the things I stated earlier? You all chose to listen to the robots part, not so much the creepy part about Petbe with robots. In the trash can I located notes Petbe wrote in an obsessive manner almost like they were trying to get out their hate for everyone here. Meanwhile the robots in any mentioning are gushed over like someone who’s overly affectionate with robots. Which you all know I’ve never even outwardly done except maybe with KIT? Which I think we all can agree on because they’re cute and deserve pets.
Obviously if I’m not using this point to blame myself I’m using it to point fingers at Atsuko who I recall let Purple stab Kage and barely cared when it happened? Even though they’re apparently friends… that’s pretty fucking weird if you ask me. Now to defend myself on why I can’t be overly gushy about robots I got mad and proceeded to kick Purple– my bad– to which Atsuko basically screamed at me even after Purple got back at me by stabbing my thigh.
Anyways there’s another point of this– when me and Atsuko went to Mina about how all the robots other than KIT and Mamo are probably human I brought up Mobo– to which Mina explained to us Mobo’s origins and whatnot. When I said how Mobo probably helped with all of this shit and was evil she got mad at me again… like obsessively so. This is backed up by how she reacted to Mobo after learning they were helping which is… she didn’t really care too much about Mobo actually being bad and my theory being proved right? Like I guess I expected it so I shrugged it off. I also have my drawing I did of Mobo being as I wrote ‘Evil’ on my DS if anyone wants proof that I like… spoke bad about Modelbot once.
And there’s also the pictures. Atsuko looking into one paparazzi or no still bugs me… Why is she the only one who noticed? I have some of the most pictures and I never noticed! Neither did Preston, or Kage, Hina, or even you Koha. Isn’t that weird to you guys? Even a little bit?
Not to mention for someone who takes pride in being the Reserve Course Representative she was quick to write off that she wouldn’t know every student. Which is fair… but Seina Ayabito seemed to be in the AV club and probably even the captain of it from the messages. She also compared the Reserve Course to siblings before. It’s rude to forget the names of your siblings Atsuko.”
Tsk, tsk. Finally E.ve let out a sigh and looked at Koharu frowning and almost… searching for words before speaking.
“I know why you’re in denial of course. You said it yourself. If Atsuko is Petbe it means she used you and feels nothing for you. Aren’t you afraid that she’s using you right now? If I was in your shoes… I’d defend her until the end too. But I’m not in your shoes. And I hope you make the right choice if for everyone else since I know you don’t regret berating me that hard. And that’s fine. I don’t have to forgive you for it and I won’t even if you do try to apologize. I… trust too easily. I trusted Preston.. Still wanna give him the benefit of the doubt. And I know that’s stupid. Basically since I understand you I’ll say it. You’re making an ass out of yourself defending someone who doesn’t love you. Hope you find someone who can someday.”
