Not everyone can make those kinds of connections, you know. People have different circumstances that make it hard.

[cluedin]

We've been serving in this house for many years, Kuji. I know people have different circumstances, but is it a bad thing to admire people who can make connections and hope that others will, too?

[soba]

[ hm... ]

I guess you can, if you want.

[cluedin]

And I will. [There was no argument but she's saying it anyway.]

...we weren't expecting something quite like this to happen. So I guess I'm just hoping people won't fall apart too early here.

[soba]

Well, if they want to survive, they're going to have to toughen up.

[cluedin]

And how do you suggest they do that anyway?

[soba]

I don't know. Everyone is different, so one way wouldn't work for someone else.

[cluedin]

Then do you think it's possible someone who isn't tough could survive?

[soba]

It's not.

The weak don't survive in this world.

[cluedin]

...where'd you hear that?

[soba]

Well, it's true no matter where I heard it.

[cluedin]

How do you know it's true?

[soba]

It's been true for all of my life.

[cluedin]

But what about if it becomes less true in the future?

[soba]

I'm not going to put all my hopes into something that might not even happen.

[cluedin]

[...fair enough.]

So what will you do now?

[soba]

Well, right now I'm just going to survive this place. Hopefully get out.

[ he is not making friendships you can't make him :/// ]

[cluedin]

[She just kind of hums...]

It's a nice goal to have, at least. [But that's all she says on that.] We're here to serve your needs as...well, needed.

[soba]

What does that mean anyway?

[cluedin]

Which part? [Hm?] It means if you need us, we're here to help. And if you don't, we stay out of the way.

[More or less. The staff won't necessarily go out of their way to bother guests.]

[soba]

But what exactly are you willing to help with?

[cluedin]

This sounds like a trick question. [:T] If you have something in mind, go ahead and try me.

[soba]

For example, if someone asked for help that would harm another guest, is that fine? Is it only okay if you're planning to kill them?

[cluedin]

Do we look like we'd be fine with being accomplices in whatever the heck people might be planning?

[soba]

How should I know? I barely know you three.
