I hope we go somewhere quiet. That would be nice.

But I'm not optimistic.

[gaslighted]

of course you aren't.

but i do wonder why these guys are targeting certain planets... wonder what's so special about this one. they gotta be after something right?

[sequestrated]

It doesn't matter if it's special or not, Kagari.

We just clean it up and move on. That's all.

[Aww, Kagari, you're trying.]

[gaslighted]

of course it matters!

i know it matters to you.

you want to know things, don't you? don't you want to know what the "point" of being here is?

[sequestrated]

No, I d on't. Please.

it isn't important.

[gaslighted]

i think it is. knowing is important isn't it?

what's with the change of heart?

[Simon wants to ask if they have the saying "curiosity killed the cat" in Japan. But he has a feeling that being too vocal about what was done to him might constitute subversion.

Besides, he doesn't want to dump his problems on anyone else. That would be selfish.]

I reconsidered

I chose to be here. [True, at this point, in a twisted way.] Stupid to make a fuss about it now

[gaslighted]

like i believe that. no offense simon, but you come off as a stubborn bastard, so it's not likely you just up and changed your mind.

you're keeping your head down for a reason. you got off with a warning huh?

[sequestrated]

Kagari. Please, please, leave it alone

[gaslighted]

i tried to warn you...

i know better than you. so let me help you.

[sequestrated]

i don't need help I just need to get on.

I mena, thank you for asking. It means a lot. But no

[gaslighted]

don't give me that. you acted like you knew what you were doing before and look where that got you.

you don't know anything. you're sheltered, naive, and cocky. do you really believe they're just going to let this go?? they're keeping tabs on you.

you can't fuck up again.

[sequestrated]

[Simon doesn't reply; he is otherwise occupied. He's seen what happens if he fucks up again.]

+50 minutes

[sequestrated]

Thank you so much.

I'm not going to fuck up any more, I swear. Never again.
