What?

[The confusion is fighting with the anger, so they just...look very perplexed.]

Are you pulling my leg? What kind of simulation was that?!

[holeful]

I wouldn't lie to you. There's a device that collects cognition particles at the scene of a crime. The Mizuhanome then generates an id well based on that.

[commedia]

...

That sounds ridiculous..

[AND FATE/ BS ISN'T??]

[holeful]

Haha... I thought so too, when I learned about it.

[holeful]

... Doesn't he?

[CLOWN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?]

... I'm asking you to. I just want her to be alright.

[commedia]

Haha. I don't know the answer to that, myself.

[Douman looks up, smirking.]

You know, she is just a doll. You're throwing your sentimentality at something that can't reciprocate it.

[holeful]

That's not true.

[Suddenly very firm?]

[commedia]

Oh?

[A laugh.]

Don't tell me you've added another delusion to your ever-growing pile, Fukuda.

[holeful]

It's not a delusion. Miss Aoi said I was her friend without me asking her to. She told me she's learning here. How to feel things beyond what she was programmed to feel. I can tell that it's true just by talking to her.

[commedia]

[A scoff.]

Even a doll can learn to go past its nature. It doesn't change the fact that its a doll. You're right, though. She and I have been learning a lot about what love is all about! Hahaha, but even I can tell she won't make it there.

[holeful]

... Will you?

[commedia]

[There's a very ugly smile on their face.]

I have to.

[holeful]

Why do you have to?

[commedia]

Hahahaha. It's none of your concern! Why should you care, anyways?

[holeful]

I'm just curious. I don't really understand what it is you are, but after that memory I saw, I just thought it was a strange goal for you to have.

[commedia]

That memory was of me in the past, under a different name, under different reins.

I am here precisely for...love! Yes, love.

[holeful]

[Hmmm.]

... I'm sad I didn't get to know you more. If you're like Aoi, you're like me too. Maybe we could have understood each other.

[commedia]

I'm not like that doll.

[A sharp tone - that smile fades, eyes becoming as hard as obsidian.]

And what, would you have drilled a hole in my head to help me? I think not.

[holeful]

I already said. I don't want to drill any more holes unless people want them.

And I think that "doll" knows a lot more about love than you.

[commedia]

Hahahaha! Really? What does she know that I don't know, hm?

[holeful]

Well, I thought you were kind, mr Douman. But as soon as things don't go the way you like, it stops.

Even though she was afraid, even though she thought it was wrong what I did, Aoi still came to see me. She told me she'd miss me. Maybe I'm wrong but... is there a single person here you'd really miss if they were gone? If they did something you didn't like?

[commedia]

...

What does "missing" have to do with it?

[holeful]

Part of loving someone is missing them when they're gone, mr Douman.

[commedia]

...Oh? Aha. I see.

[Just giving a nod and tapping at their chin.]

You taught me something! I'll have to remember that, then.

[holeful]

[He laughs.]

I'm relieved now, really. Now I'm certain Aoi will defy your expectations, if you know so little yourself.
