...

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.

[duplicitoussight]

Don't you think you look like one? You flinch like one, too.

[substitutable]

I do not! Why are we on this topic??

[duplicitoussight]

I'm explaining why a guy like you has friends like us~

[substitutable]

I do because we got caught in the same terrorist incident?

[duplicitoussight]

That's right, that's right, and you were so helpless that we had to take you in...

[substitutable]

Well, I thank you for your kind-heartedness and I'll ignore that I was basically forced into it by you and Kido.

[duplicitoussight]

Well, how'd that saying go? "The ends justify the means." That's true, it's very true.

[substitutable]

In this situation it is not your place to say that!

[duplicitoussight]

Shintaro should feel super lucky that he's got friends who want to recruit him so badly...! It's true, it's true. We'll go to any means to rope in our members and keep them.

[substitutable]

A very questionable mindset indeed.
