No, I don't think so. In fact, I think you're likely a better person than me, Gabriel~. Even if you brush off any small comments about my career, the truth is that I thought I was like a god meant to purge the scum and waste from my school, and the methods I used to accomplish that stopped at nothing. The scale of my view of this doesn't change my personality.
It's true that I won't stop doing what I'm doing, but I'd almost like to hear your complaints. If he appears, don't tell Keito this at all, but I miss them a bit. It means that someone cares, right? Rather than watching me run loosely ahead without any intent to catch me if I fall.
I wouldn't make a habit of telling a man who's a wanted terrorist back home that he's 'a better person' than you. Just as a bit of advice.
As for that purging bit, it's no different than the shit I went through when I was in the army. Least I can say that noone in your school died from being purged, while SEP killed off some of the strongest men I've ever seen.
[Alright, a bit of oversharing there. Pull back, Gabriel.]
Won't make a habit of telling your idol friends all your deep dark secrets. Even I'm not that much of an asshole.
The only "idol friend" I have here is Tsumugi, and he helped me quite a bit with all of that, until the end. He knows better than anyone else what I've done, and though he might speak highly of me, he left me on stage after our very last performance when I fell into my enemy's arms and coughed up blood.
[Idols are all secret snakes??]
With a kind person like him, that should tell you what I must have done to him.
There were no direct deaths from war, but there are real problems of death in areas like this. I'm sure you can think of why.
Anyway, I do appreciate you keeping it from Keito if he ever does show up.
[Any other person might call Eichi's poor attitude just that--but honestly, Reyes is the last man on earth to critique someone for using poor methods to get what he wanted.]
Part of the reason why I don't feel like you need babysat one hundred percent of the time is because I know you're good enough with words to weave yourself out of bad situations.
[He's a hard believer in 'actions speak louder than words', but he's not a fool to think that sometimes it's easier to talk than it is to raise arms. But on the same page--]
But I also know the trouble you can get yourself into with the same tongue you've got.
['What I must have done to him' speaks volumes here, doesn't it?]
Just keep your nose clean and you can do whatever you want. Even if in involves that stupid obsessive fuck.
Fufu, you've caught me on that. It's always nice to have friends like you who can keep me in line. I tend to look to the sky too much, so I might float away if someone isn't here to keep me grounded.
[He wants to selfishly ask for more. Keito is someone who Eichi doesn't think will ever come here, but he's the one who Eichi entrusted his funeral to. He'd worry about all of those arrangements so Eichi wouldn't have to worry at all. That's all gone, isn't it? He needs a replacement, or to face that he's going to worry about it here no matter what.
But asking Reaper, who's already dealt with too much loss, is unfair. At least he's learning enough to realize that.]
If you get to be too much of an irritant to keep grounded, I'll just tie you to a rock.
[If you could hear his voice you'd be able to hear this delivered with such a dry point of sarcasm.
There's a few things going unsaid here, but he's old enough by now to catch them--not that he'll offer to say a single one of them outloud himself. It's more comfortable, like this. So he settles. Scoffing at that last reply.]
That's right, isn't it? ♪ If there are some snacks you wouldn't mind eating, you should tell me as well. I'm well aware that you may not need them, but they can still be enjoyable.
I'll leave you to the rest of your time, then. I simply wanted someone to know about my actions before I did anything.
[Spicy!! He's weak to things like spicy foods himself, but if it's the one clue Reaper has given about his tastes... Well, then that's what he'll bring, next time.]
