If you didn't wanna talk about it with him, why'd you bring it up to him?

He asked first. I was... desperate to talk about it, at first anyway.

...sigh It's just occurred to me that Griffin died on my watch, Yuffie. After I told Liman that we'd keep him safe.

And I actually thought, heh, given the kind of people that are around here, that he'd actually survive that stupid grenade.

-Is Yuffie- Hey, well, just a bit of friend advice from one friend to another.

Stop bein' a prick to anyone you think you know better than. Your rank doesn't mean anything more than mine does here.

What that means is you ain't in charge of crap. And what it also means is you ain't accountable for anything, either.

...(Mulls Yuffie's advice over a little bit before giving an answer)

..So how does this help me, exactly? Am I supposed to just reject my family legacy like that?

Look, Yuffie, even before I... ended up here, I was still only under the supervision of two of my colleagues. So, when I ended up here, I thought perhaps that I could prove myself. Get something that I could attach to the Tapferin name.

And the stupid part of it is where I come from, some children are implanted with Alaya-Vijñana Systems to be forced into being used as cannon fodder, and my organisation did nothing to alleviate the problem.

...I thought that if I was going to be here forever, that I'd make something of it.

And I fucking failed.

Well... yeah. You are.

Buuut, I could also have fun watching you have a pity party for a while. Big fancy military guy's a greenhorn! Who'd 'a thunk?

(Glances at Yuffie)

You know, I'm not sure whether you're actually being sincere, or if you're just making fun of my situation, Yuffie.

Both. I'm trying to help, and also you're kind of a mondo jerk.

People don't exist just for you to "prove yourself". Ain't you special, sad 'cause someone died and I spent four hours picking glass out of some kid's face, and it means you can't go on an ego trip!

(clears his throat)

How is Liman? I... forgot to ask.

No you ain't.

She'll live. She's gonna feel like parched shit when she wakes up, and burns really are hard to deal with, so she'll probably have a little scarring too. I've seen worse, though.

What'd you do? Besides throw a tantrum because you were usin' this whole thing as some sorta dick measuring contest for your "honour" or whatever, and got mad 'cause it didn't work out?

Besides shoot a guy, I guess. Very brave and noble of you. -Bites off the cap of a beer she swiped-

(Does a Double Take)

Wait, you knew about that?!

...And for the record, Raut really deserved it, and besides, not a lot of people survive grenades when they're that close. Oh, yeah, and then there's that whole incident in here, the kitchen, where he tried to threaten someone at gunpoint to help him find his target, and then he decided to ambush the two of them while they were out at one point.

...That reminds me, I'll probably have to let those two detectives know what's happened to the both of them. That's gonna be... an interesting conversation.

"Knew about it"? Guns aren't exactly quiet, genius! Why do you think we came running in the first place?

You left the body there, too. Cloud hasn't gotten around to burying it yet. It's gonna smell awful by tomorrow.

So, you decided, with your infinite fancy military guy wisdom, that he was gonna die for his crimes, and then you shot him in the head. Even though you knew people were looking for him, and that you weren't really in charge of anyone. Good. Great. It's so nice that I'm friends with you.

Link, Liman, Griffin and I were the only ones involved. (He counted on his fingers to emphasise his point.)

Emmett and Jennifer had their own problems to deal with.

Yes, I admit I took matters into my own hands, but that was because if Raut wasn't stopped, he would've been allowed to do a whole lot more damage.

And I may have been emotionally compromised.

Well, with you deciding who gets to live and die around here, I feel much safer!

You better keep your mits off my family. I might decide you're a threat to us all.

And stop getting "emotionally compromised" while holding a gun. That's a lousy quality for anyone to have, not just a soldier. Ch... nepotism.

-Finally stops to actually have a swig of her beer- So, besides executing someone, what else you been up to? Anything pleasant?

..Well, you did say I was a greenhorn.

Ah, let's see... Got involved with a scenario which could have potentially ended all of reality, helped Link out after he was mauled by some demon worshippers in the woods. Oh, yeah, and actually performed surgery on Griffin after he was shot.

...Weirdly enough, I succeeded there.

You should get a hobby. Like painting! Or birdwatching. Or wallets.

-there's the sound of a harmonica being played from the roof-

-a sort of somber tone-

Link sat atop the roof with his eyes closed, until he heard the harmonica. He looks over to the player.
