..... what?

[ That's it. That's his reply as he just looks at Komaeda flat faced. If he wasn't awake earlier, he sure as hell is now. ]

[eyeswideopen]

It ate him but not in the conventional sense. More like melted wax poured into a mold. When it was over, [He sits on the edge of the bed. The mattress creaks and sags a little under his weight.] He was gone.

Seeing as he's killed repeatedly in this world I assume this was the world's reply. It's a theory but it holds merit. People like us are not going to be targets unless we resume our bloody history. Which, neither of us will.

[hopedout]

You didn't have to give me that mental picture, Komaeda.

[ He replies flatly, narrowing his eyes. He didn't ask for him to expand on what actually happened; it was a rhetorical "what". ]

So you're saying if someone starts killing people in this world. . . that's going to happen? [ Of course he knows that neither of them will. Nor Sonia, as well. But there's something he has to ask about. ] If that's the case. What will happen to indirect killers?

[ He wonders if Junko will kill directly at this point; instead using other people to kill for her. ]

[eyeswideopen]

Enoshima will never kill directly unless the person is someone very important to her. [Komaeda says with his hands set behind him. He looks at the wall, not saying anything else until he finally he adds.]

Her first goal to stir up despair in herself. It's impersonal and boring to her to wrack up a body count. But she has possibly caught the eye of whatever it is that is declaring war on those who kill.

My investigation is ah, not complete yet.

[hopedout]

That's why I was wondering. Because I know Enoshima isn't the type to kill; she's the type to instigate the "need" to kill in someone else. If that shadow, or whatever it is, is grabbing killers, will it only affect those who just simply kill?

Or would they include the ringleader who masterminded it? Of course, I'm using Enoshima as an example since she was the first person I thought of, but it's possible that someone else might have thought of this too, right?

[eyeswideopen]

[He hisses, sucking in a breath before he says in a quiet voice.] No. It isn't ignoring her. It seema it won't ignore direct killers or indirect.

Of course her case is rather unique but, the fact remains. Whatever this is it is acting after a period of inactivity or finally running out of patience. [He turns so he's facing Hinata and folds his lega under him. He had fucked up beyond reason against Enoshima but, he'd learned that much.]

We'll have to see what the man who was taken says when he returns. That's all I can do for now, I suppose. Other than monitor the situation for any further activity and discuss it with the Arehtei and Enforcers. ...I'm reluctant to say it to anyone but the ones I trust however.

[hopedout]

That much is a good thing, at least.

[ Because he was slightly concerned about that. ]

But thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it.

[eyeswideopen]

Of course. I told you I'd tell you whatever I found out. [He covers his mouth to stifle a yawn. Usually when he's on the losing end of a talk with Junko he feels cranky and restless. But today it wore him out and yes, he's annoyed but that's about it.]

...Do you mind if I borrow your couch for a while? I'm more exhausted than I thought I was.
