Has anybody seen anyone named Minato, Chidori or Ken?

The Minato with Samael, I mean.

You guys there?

Does anyone know where they are?

I doubt they can manage that- though you're fortunate to have as much control over him as you do.

[It's a shame that she can't say the same re: Medea, sob.]

[voice]

[morituramfides]

It's not enough. You saw how I lost my shit in that place. He may not show up when he wants, but he still fuck up my head and-- I'm done with that.

[voice]

[floreatnoctem]

It's not that simple, and you know it.

[But if anyone has a chance of getting a handle on it, it's Jin.]

[voice]

[morituramfides]

'Course not. Never was. [Lived with it for damn too long of his life to forget that now.]

But I can't do shit unless I try.

[voice]

[floreatnoctem]

Don't push it, Jin.

[Don't need your persona going out of control like a certain someone's...]

[voice]

[morituramfides]

I won't. Promise.

[...]

I won't turn out like Takaya.

[Almost--pained him to say it. He'd come to recognize how bad Takaya had been by now-- and even seen himself acting like him, looking back at the Labyrinth. But still...]

[voice]

[floreatnoctem]

You had better not.

[Chidori had never been a fan of the way Takaya had treated others, but more especially of how he'd taken to speaking to Jin; it had always set her on edge to see them together without Minato around.]

But you're smarter than he was.

[She believes in you, in her own way, Jin.]

[voice]

[morituramfides]

Heh. Thanks.

[Honestly, he was usually the first to admit his intellectual superiority-- but with Takaya, well... it was obvious he still wasn't entirely over it.]

Just wait 'n' see; I'll show 'em all who's boss.
