audio; on the shadow train//backdated to the 19th!

[Audio]

[The (strategically chosen) audio feed comes in grainy, but the sound of unrestrained crying rings clear. The boy chokes; incomplete words stumble over themselves, dying just past his lips to make way for another agonized sob.]

H-he took my-- the only person w-who ever really loved-- who ever loved me... H-he killed m-my... my most precious p-person...

The other m-me killed her...

[He sniffles, the sound wet and gross.]

P-please don't let that... t-that thing have another chance to live... He's keeping himself alive by hurting others..! [The feed clicks off quickly, cutting off his last cry.]

[Introspective]

[It's a pain to act like this... But you've been revived from death, what? Twice now? I think it's my turn. You're not even fit to keep yourself alive.]

Ouch! That hurts. And here I thought you were actually worried about me again.

Well, since you obviously know me so well, you can stop with that. Like you said, I'm the Devil - it just doesn't make sense for me to try playing hero.

[Even if that pretty much cements his decision. He'll just have to figure out some way to avoid interacting directly with the original Otonashi, but if he plays his cards right, he should be able to give enough aid to tip the scales while still being able to beat an escape when he has to.]

[trainwrecking]

I know you still might try to play hero. After all, it's what I would do -- and I remind you so much of yourself.

Whatever. Do whatever you want. That's the only request of mine you'll ever respect, I'm sure.

[bondsofsuffering]

And only in the worst ways. I'm not the only one with a habit of sticking my nose into others' business, here.

[Especially after that fun Q&A session it seems his Shadow gave out.]

Anyway, have fun! May the better Otonashi win.

omg

[halberdaxe]

What...?

[You can hear frustration rise up in his voice. He was actually going to start considering on viewing you in another light after all that happened during the chaos that went around last month, but...]

"Curry favor?" "Weird girls who don't even want me?" What are you talking about? I have not been doing anything like that!!

[Nope. No way he was going to do that after hearing Otonashi diss him like that.]

I demand to know your location! NOW!!

yeeep! Make Shadotonashi's job easier, Noda!!

[trainwrecking]

Aren't you? Your whole "don't disrespect Yurippe" speech?! You break everything you touch, I'm not going to let you break me again!

[At least, not this "him."]

Leave me alone, Noda..!

:'|

[halberdaxe]

After spewing those words, you are going to run away like a coward???

Tch, I was wrong for starting to change my opinion towards you. Wuss.

[trainwrecking]

No! It's self-preservation! Jerk...

[Flawless. If only Noda could see the hidden smile on the other end...]

[halberdaxe]

Then hope you will not run into me after this. I will cut you down without a word!!
