[feels the need to talk and just forget the past couple of days] All right! Time to take care of business. Hm, anything to report, Coil members? Oh, speaking of that...

Gene! I want my glasses back right now. They have my school work on them!

[and now stands very arrogantly] Daichi! Wherever you are! You and me. Hacking duel. Loser has to do the other's homework for the next...two weeks. [sly grin] Think you can manage~?

Uhm, thanks Minato. You can come over whenever you want, all right? Ignore Akira. He's just an idiot.

So it's illegal.

Technically Satchii won't shoot you for hacking, so it's not super illegal if Satchii doesn't care.

What do the police think about hacking?

[tilts her head] Hmm. I think it doesn't matter. Satchii is programmed to act on the laws of the cyber domain. Anything that breaks the law gets shot.

--wait, what??

Ah, didn't I mention it? Satchii and its Kyuu-chans will shoot anything illegal with their lasers, regardless of the degree of it. I haven't been shot before but my mouse... [shakes her head] Satchii is stupid. It runs purely on strict programming.

Hey. [pats her shoulder] I'm sorry.

[blinks] Huh? No, it's fine! I learned from it, anyway.

[frowns] What did you learn?

[tries to make herself sound callous] That everything dies eventually. So you shouldn't get attached to things. There's no point in it. It'll only hurt when they're gone.

Fumie...

[frowns] What?

Just... [slips his hand from her shoulder down her arm, clasping her hand in his own] It hurts, I know. But I wouldn't... It's worth it. True happiness is worth all the pain that comes with losing someone.

[looks down] The logical thing to do wouldn't be to care, though, right? And it's usually distracting from a person's goals.

Too much logic and you're not really alive. [crouches down so he's on eye-level with her] You've got so much life in you, Fumie. Don't hide away from living it because you're scared.

[frowns and moves back slightly] I'm not scared! I... [just slumps a bit] He was my pet for three years. I got him when I was eight. I put everything into raising him, too. He was just a little mouse. I gave him a couple of upgrades so that he would run smoother. [quickly] Dennou pets, you know. Most people don't have real ones anymore. Satchii doesn't care though...even if it's harmless.

You loved him, your pet, didn't you?

[looks at Sam, because she would feel oddly stupid if she admitted it like that] ...I cared a lot about him. [which means 'yes, very much so']

I'm so sorry, Fumie.
