Reflection
“.....Maybe I should take his offer...”
“It’s not like I do anything productive here...”
“Everything is... just such a bore... And I can’t seem to be motivated.”
“Can’t seem to care.”
“I didn’t even bother to really talk to Players or even new Reapers.”
“Even in my Noise Form..”
“Maybe it would be best... “
“If I took a step back from somewhere I’m not needed.”
Proposition (2)
“You know your little offer is pretty crazy, right?”
“Kid, I’ve been alive long enough to be your great ancestor. Trust me, I know stupid. This isn’t it.”
“Yeah but seriously. Me as... that? You’re smoking something.”
“Couple hundred years ago maybe but that was a phase..”
“I’m not going to ask.”
“And you’re smart not to. Look, kid. It requires a certain about of discreteness to do and last time I checked your file, your abilities match up perfectly for it.”
“But why me? I don’t even know you and I’ve never even been to your district.”
“What? You want to go back to your own after everything that was pulled?”
“......No.”
“Thought so. Okay about about this. I know this place here’s having a Game soon and you’re still flying high in the hierarchy. I also know that you’ve noticed your stagnation and are biting at the bit to be able to not hold yourself back anymore, to quit hiding right?”
“.....”
“So here’s the deal. Just go through the Game same as usual. If you don’t find a reason to stay, then my offer is still open. If you do, then nothing happens. Win-win either way. And the offer will stay open for you no matter what, so if you come back a later time, you can still take me up on it.”
“It would stay open that long?”
“It’s not like it’s an emergency. I’m just tired. Very tired.”
“.....Fine.. I’ll... keep it in mind..”
Proposition
“Can I help you?”
“Wow that was fast. Haven’t even been in this district for a minute and already you’re sniffing about.”
“It’s not like you’re hiding your power level. Something that high is just asking to be noticed. I’m honestly surprised no one else is giving you any mind.”
“Well they won’t need to since the person I’m here to see popped right up.”
“What?”
“You, moron.”
“.... I have no idea who you are. Identify yourself. Now.”
“Pull back those claws, kid. Someone might mistake you for picking a fight with something you shouldn’t.”
“If you’re trying to scare me then don’t bother, I’m not afraid to anything.”
“More like trying to keep you alive a little longer you suicidal ferret.”
”And why would a complete stranger care about my mortality.”
“Probably because it would be a waste to see someone of your abilities rot in a ditch when they could be used how they should be.”
“What could you possibly know about me.”
“Uh quite a bit to be honest. I mean, you know what I am right? Got the same intel as your br--- buddy back home, Ren.”
“Who are you.”
“You can call me Uriel. And I have a proposition for you.”
“Later guys. I’m gonna head back home for a bit and wreck some havoc. I’ll come back though.”
--- Kaito Yukimura
Kaito: "And that's what happened...."
Hayato: "Holy shit man, and that was all one day??"
Kaito: "It felt like way long with everything that happened... I think I'm about ready to just pass out forever."
Hayato: -Snickers-
Kaito: "What's so funny?"
Hayato: "You man, you! Ha ha! Couple months ago you wouldn't give anyone the time or day, and look at you now? Talking about being Atsuko's little pet, making friends, being a decent guy? Come on Kaito-kun, it's probably the greatest thing for me to hear since we remet you."
Kaito: "About all of that I really---"
Hayato: "And now you're apologizing?? Holy hell man, I never thought I would see the day!"
Kaito: "....I guess.. you're right... I have changed..."
Hayato: "You make it seem like that's a bad thing, man. Despite not telling any of us, going to Shibuya and getting out of Akihabara was probably the best decision you ever made on your own"
Kaito: "I guess... you are right about that.."
Hayato: "You really should visit us.. Like.. it's okay if you decide to stay, we all get it but... We're your friends now too, man. We should hang out..."
Kaito: "I would...." -hesitates- "I would really like that..."
Hayato: "I still can't believe they called you, Kaito Yukimura of Akihabara, the annoying Turntable Ferret, out of all things, Aki-chan. You gotta admit man, the irony is the best" -laughs-
Who needs people... Never changes anything.... Who needs... being happy... What does it even mean.̢̛͠.́.҉͞ ̡͝ţo b͟͏̴e͟͠ h̢̨͘a̴҉pp͜͝͝y̶͝.͏̕
I..
I am no one's pet...
I refuse to be leashed again...
I will never use it again..
I will not go back to being... that.
I am not her assassin...
I kill who I want to kill.
That's all there is too it....
Because...
That's who I am...
Right...?
Diary Notes From Akihabara
While Hayato-san was making sure he would be okay and getting him ready to be carried, Noriko-san told me about him...
Kaito Yukimura.. He had been a player who lost their partner during his Game Week. She said he had been very uneasy then entire time but then again everyone was. The Entry fee theme was really bizarre and effected all the Players to extreme levels.. Something about.. what makes you happy? But that wasn't the really strange thing here, or the part that had Noriko-san so concerned...
It was the fact that neither of them has seen Yukimura-san for over 5 years....
5 years...
Hayato-san makes sure that he knows everyone in the district at all times to be helpful, same as Noriko-san... if this was the first time they saw him for five years...
That meant...
Yukimura-san had been that noise for that whole time...
He had been right under their noses.. working for the Conductor this entire time...
Who knew how he felt? It... it couldn't have been good was what I thought originally. But Then she told me something even worse..
About how being in Noise form for so long can negatively affect a Reaper..
Noriko-san explained the Noise form to me, or well reminded me.. We had already had that discussion during the week. About how it's the instinctual part of a Reaper. That the longer one is in it.. the more they run on that animal instinct.. The less they remember reason... and..
Who they were..
Which meant... at that time... Yukimura-san... probably didn't even see himself as a reaper when we fought him...
He probably... had thought like noise..
