Well actually most of the time I'm fighting good guys.

But that's the thing. It's a cover for giving information to those good guys.

You ever hear the phrase that... goes something along the lines of- "He who fights monsters becomes a monster"? Or- you become the mask?

I just worry that maybe I'm pretending to be a hero now. Not the other way around.

Its' a token thing, just to send anonymous emails to heroes.

Its' information that I know. I've sabotaged some of the jobs I've been on, but I haven't always been able to do that.

...I guess I can understand where you're coming from. But I'm kind of an 'end justifies means' person in a lot of cases. Yeah, it's unpopular, but being a pragmatist makes you unpopular anyway these days.

I guess my thought is...you do what you do so that they can't do what they do. And that's important.

Mm... I'm still in some ways helping them.

But- well. I guess I couldn't really avoid this with the upbringing I had.

My father was a mobster.

I know I'm not. I took more after my mother.

But it still had a distinct influence. My father's friends would be around more, and I got to know their kids as my friends.

Some things you can't exactly get away from.

-sighs- I guess its' only here that I can afford to be a bit nicer.

I've done, and acted, like I'm irredeemable before.

But I guess that's the difference of peer pressure.

If I'm with a heartless group of terrorists that have a motto of "Kill civilians on sight" for a mission, then I can't exactly hold my fire when they're watching.

'Course if I'm alone and masked with them- then I'll look the other way.

But yeah... I can't let other villains have doubts. Doubts draw suspicion when shit goes wrong.

And I don't want to be the guy they blame. I already have a hard time because I don't stick with a single group. I'm a hired freelancer so that its' hard to pick up on patterns.

If you can't handle it anymore, you could always settle down here.

Settle down here?

... I don't know. I have a feeling like I should stick to my home.

Its' an odd feeling. But its' like I have no other choice.

Whaaat? It's noon? Al right...

I need to refresh myself somehow... -movement, before she opens the door in just a t-shirt and jeans, hair all messy with heavy eyes-

Uhrm... I watched a whole anime OVA after you left... I think that was six episodes...

So... Three hours? Wow it felt like a shorter time...

Not that.

It's more... I don't know. I feel like I have a purpose to fulfill back home. And I can't do that here.

An opportunity I can't miss, y'know?
