Pretty shit if you ask me. Tonne of people can't get around. They'd get it all fixed up in no time if they really tried.

What can ya do. Guess we got some construction stuff anyway. If they fixed that room at all.

That room?

Aah, guess it's more like a floor, that one with the workshop.

Right.

Sounds like a good place to start.

Yeah, they got lots of tools and all. Not gonna get far without that. You into construction, old man?

Ya could say that.

I own my own construction company.

For real? Wanted to get into that stuff too.

Ya, heard that from yer girlfriend.

Huh? I don't got a girlfriend, the fuck're you talking about?

Chihiro.

That's the girl ya said ya wanted to protect, right?

...

Yeah, but never said she's my girlfriend or nothing!!

So, that's my bad.

I assumed.

It ain't like that at all! Just...shit- look, I killed her before after promising I'd help her. That's why I gotta protect her!

Don't gotta yell at me.

But why the fuck would ya do that? 'Cause of that fuckin' game?

Shit, sorry, just do that when I get nervous!! Can't help it!

[Though thinking about what happened helps to calm him down, at least.]

...Yeah. The bear gave us cards with a secret written on it and said he'd announce them to the world if nobody killed in a day. Fujisaki told me hers 'cause she wanted me to help her get over it, started saying she told me 'cause I'm strong and wouldn't ever need to be weak and lie and shit. Thought she was making fun of me and just trying to get me to say my secret. I wasn't thinking, just got real scared, and jealous, just blacked out and then her head was bleeding, had a weight in my hand with blood all over it... It was fucked.

Eh. It ain't a big deal.

[ Tsk. ]

Don't sound right what happened, but sounded like ya got yer emotions all wrapped up. I ain't too happy with that story, but she's forgiven ya and you wanna make amends. Shit like that tends to fuck with a person's head, so I can't blame ya for it.

Aa, hurts to look at her 'cause of that, forgave me too easy. Didn't even want that, shouldn't forgive me for that shit, just wanted to look out for her. Still tried to keep her secret, but that bastard told everybody anyway, mine too. Couldn't've done anything worse to her.

Ya can't figure out why she forgave ya that easy? Anyway, beatin' yerself up about it is just gonna end up hurtin' her more. Not many people get the chance to get forgiveness and a second chance to protect someone, ya know.

So, the secret is known by ya all, and it might be told again by that bastard. But she's got people who know it and still care about 'er. I'm sayin' that's about a loss to the fucker than a win, 'cause he didn't break ya all completely, right?

Huh? No, why'd she forgive me like that, you know?

Not everybody was okay with it...but guess you're right. Still, more kids died after me for sure. He's coming out on top.

Again, seems real obvious to me.

But yer still alive now.

What's obvious? Don't seem obvious to me!

Yeah, well, somehow got brought here, but definitely got executed back there.

Eh, it ain't for me to tell.

Yea, well, dwellin' on that shit isn't gonna get you prepared for the future here, right?

...Aa. You're right. Thanks. Get too caught up with shit.

That's what I'm here for.

I'm like yer old man, remember? [ And snickers to himself. ]

Right. Thanks, pops.

...So, uh, you talked to Fujisaki, huh?
