... You're welcome.

It would've been lame if I slacked off, right?

[duplicitoussight]

Kido would've punched you if you gave anything less than your best.

[substitutable]

I know she will. She already did.

...

[He lowers his voice.]

She was the leader before Kido, huh.

[duplicitoussight]

... did she tell you that? Well, well, it's not like it was a secret, anyway. Shintaro's right--she came up with the idea of the Dan.

[He laughs a little.] Hearing a cool line like 'red is the color of a hero' is really impressive when you're a kid. Leader's always tried to make the same impression Sis did when we take new members in.

[substitutable]

Aah, I remember your dramatic explanation of the dan when I first woke up in Mary's room.

... She really looked up to her, huh. I didn't even know she had siblings.

[duplicitoussight]

She wouldn't be the sort to bring it up unless she thought it was important, I'm sure.

[substitutable]

... Who, Ayano?

[duplicitoussight]

That's who we're talking about, right?

[substitutable]

Hm.

She talked about meaningless stuff all the time. It was the important stuff she never talked about.

She... seemed really open about everything, but she took that hero thing way too far, I guess.

[duplicitoussight]

... you think so, huh.

[He thought of Ayano that way, too. Their hero, who taught them that red was a color to be proud of instead of shamed.

But no hero would've done what she did. Right?] I guess Sis never lost her touch.

[substitutable]

...

I talked to Kido after she disappeared. She... tried really hard to keep what she started, I think. She tried to hold it together, she said.

I think, she already does that well. She's a good leader. She isn't Ayano, but what Ayano was to you guys, she did it for Momo. I think that's pretty impressive.

[duplicitoussight]

... Leader always wanted to be like her. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Playing heroes wasn't as fun anymore--being a hero was what she wanted to do.

[He laughs a little.] Ahh, that's something she really needs to hear now.

[substitutable]

I tried telling her.

I don't know if I'm the guy who can speak for Ayano, though.

[duplicitoussight]

You're probably the closest hero we've got. We'll take what we can.

[substitutable]

... Me? A hero?

Isn't that some sort of mistake?

[duplicitoussight]

You probably wouldn't think that way at all, huh... well, looking at you it'd be hard to believe for me, too! Maybe I should retract my statement~

[substitutable]

[He kicks Kano's chair.]

Exactly what made you say that, anyway?

[duplicitoussight]

I already forgot what I said. What did I say? What are we talking about?

[substitutable]

You little shit--

... You know. I don't think I'm necessarily the only one closest to being a hero. I mean, I don't think I'm one at all. Honestly, I think you guys are more like heroes than I could ever be.

[duplicitoussight]

... no, you're pretty poor hero material. After all, you don't work out, you're afraid of a lot of things, and you're a real pain sometimes too.

But, you know, despite all that, you've done a lot more than you think.

[substitutable]

... You mean the two times that I punched you?

[He's quiet for a moment. He sips his drink.]

I've mentioned a few times that Momo didn't have friends before, right? It was really rough for her. Our mom and I didn't know what to do for her... so I'm really grateful that you guys are willing to be her friend and help her out. It's thanks to you guys that she's not alone anymore.

To her, you guys are like heroes. Not being alone -- isn't that the sort of thing Ayano was always obsessed with?

[duplicitoussight]

It's not like we could leave her alone. Keeping people together and taking in anyone who moped about, being lonely... that's what Ayano would've wanted.

[He tips back his head, grinning.] I've been thinking since I came here. None of it really matters, so forget it, forget it. All I want to say is it's a good thing we ran into you.

You're a good friend.

[substitutable]

... You too.

I never thought I'd say this, after that summer, but I'm glad I met you guys. I learned a lot. And... I never hated having friends. So I'm glad I have some again.

[duplicitoussight]

Of course we'd be happy to be yours~ After all, you had the charm of an abandoned puppy.

[substitutable]

... An abandoned puppy.
