Everyone did complain about the apple sauce at length.

I did notice you remembered your... previous relationship with Aikawa.

[headmt]

[ applesauce is awful. the worst food in the world. ]

Oh. Yes. Somewhat. It-- Listen. I'm all for letting people keep their separate identities on the downlow, I've got my own shit where this is concerned, certainly. I mean, Emet-Selch got a bit of that one. Oof. Okay. I said it, but I heard it outloud and it's too soon, but you know. Erm.

My point is, if someone has a very dangerous murderous identity, a polite heads up next time to the person who was beheaded might go a long way?

[shaft]

[ he rubs his temples ]

You're right. I suppose I was worried you might've killed him out of revenge. Though I suppose I put you in danger in the process.

[headmt]

To be fair, we're all pretty much danger all the time.

Like I said, my revenge is limited to a few remarks. Really.

[shaft]

I can't tell if you're generous or if you're just that okay with someone having killed you.

[headmt]

[ he shrugs and tilts his head, while he thinks it over. ]

Both? Neither? I don't think it's generous, necessarily. And I'm not exactly okay with it. But one day I will be. And until then, I have to practice it, to make it through all this with everything I want about myself intact.

[shaft]

You're just being professional then.

[ he nods ]

By "everything about yourself"...?

[headmt]

I mean I work hard to keep a certain life philosophy. I want to do right in the world, leave things better than I found them. I don't do that by getting too caught up in grudges and all that.

[ he almost looks a bit guilty. ]

He take it badly when I said that?

[shaft]

If he did, he didn't show it.

[ his head tilts ]

I've never really seen Aikawa get upset for his own sake.

[headmt]

Yeah.

[ ... ]

I'm really not angry or anything.

[shaft]

I think it'd be understandable if you were.

... How do you feel about it though?
