Probably not. Someone I know would say that if you let that get to you, then you're not going to make it in life.

[cluedin]

Do you mean... witnessing terrible events, or living through them?

[soba]

Both.

[ hmm ]

If he were here he'd probably say I was weak for getting hit. Or that Teppelin was weak for getting killed like that.

[cluedin]

[ she hums ]

Do you believe that to be true?

[soba]

Is it not?

Some might think a situation like this is like that. Teppelin was an easy choice to go after.

[cluedin]

Do you remember what Asch said? That she put herself between him and the monster and told it to stop. Do you believe that to be weak?

[ she doesn't seem to care one way or another ]

[soba]

She still died.

[ he frowns, and then shakes his head. ]

Do you care about any of this?

[cluedin]

Everybody dies eventually.

[ it's said in a monotone ]

I would rather the deaths didn't happen, but I cannot pretend I am nearly as affected as any of the guests here.

[soba]

Is it because of your age, or just from working here?

[ listen peach said they didn't know for sure people were gonna start dying but

:/ ]

[cluedin]

I have lived a long time. I suppose it has colored my perspective somewhat.

[soba]

Is it just the age thing?

[cluedin]

Perhaps I am also a callous person.

[soba]

Are you a callous person?

[cluedin]

Compared to my sisters? I do believe so.

[soba]

Well, comparing yourself to other people will usually lead to that.

[cluedin]

Why would that be?

[soba]

Someone could say they're really mean compared to their friend, but if their friend is the nicest person around, then that's kind of a given.

[cluedin]

I would think saying that about Pumpkin would be giving her too much credit. [ she looks at him for a second ] Am I to take this to mean you don't think me callous?

[soba]

[ pumpkin annoys him the most of all but he is not saying that out loud ]

Not really. You can be frustrating and kind of rude, but... not that bad.

[ has he noticed she dropped the 'sir' thing for today? yes. will he point that out? no. ]

[cluedin]

[ wow... relatable. and also not pointing it out is a good idea. she looks almost amused, though ]

Rude? My apologies. It was never my intention to come off that way.

[soba]

[ he just shrugs ]

I'm not the one to complain about that.

[ he is a very rude boy so he cannot complain if someone else is even a little bit rude ]

[cluedin]

You will only comment upon it, then?

[soba]

Yup.

[ that's still rude but ok ]

[cluedin]

I'm afraid I don't see the difference between those...

[ pointing it out is still commenting on it??? ]

[soba]

There is one.

[ there isn't ]
