And what was all that, then, during trial? Your attempt at "helping"?

[holeful]

It was. I really wanted to help. But it seems like I'm not good at solving crimes when I'm not Anaido.

[commedia]

"It takes time for hell to swallow someone up", hm?

[And a sigh.]

You had to have known the effects your words would cause.

[holeful]

Does it matter? Do you really care? You made your allegiance clear, Mr Douman.

[commedia]

[A scoff.]

Of course I don't care. It just always surprises me and entertains me when a human being essentially sabotages themselves. I didn't even need to help. You just went and did it right on your own.

[holeful]

Well, it's not like it will make a difference. Everyone will be fine without me.

[commedia]

Is that what you believe, or what you tell yourself?

[holeful]

Omi has you. Gojou has Mahito and whoever left those marks on him. Aoi....


[He wilts, suddenly. He also definitely just dropped the honorific on Aoi's name.]
You'll take care of Aoi, won't you?

[commedia]

...Does he have me?

[Douman looks at their nails.]

Why should I look after that little doll? Because you said so?

[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?
