They're dead. I promised to find a way to save them, and I didn't. Just like I never found Sho-...

...

Haha...Naru-chan is better at this than I am.

Bou... You shouldn't blame yourself.

[bou_hunt]

I can't help it. I talked to one, and I told him 'I will not let you die.'

[onceahuman]

I'm sorry.

[bou_hunt]

...

Do you remember the story I told you? Where my friend could see what happened to those maids?

[big_kitty]

I see we're in the same boat once more.

[bou_hunt]

So it seems. Perhaps you and I are the same person from different worlds. I have heard that happens sometimes.

[colormywings]

It'll be okay... Things will get better.

I promise.

[bou_hunt]

Thank you.

[colormywings]

Hey, um, can you do something for me?

[bou_hunt]

Sure, what is it?

[prodigal_axe]

You couldn't have done anything.

But, I get it. I've been there. Uh, so I looked for things I could do--to make up for it.

I guess it helped.

[I'm terrible at this advice shit.]

[bou_hunt]

Hmm. That's a possibility. Though I think I could make up for it by stopping Kirie.

[prodigal_axe]

I found out that Walter was killing everyone. But, it didn't stop him. Knowing his name didn't save one person.

So that was useless.

Other things weren't so useless. I guess the best way I made up for it was getting them outta the hospital, after that week.

It wasn't enough, not until--

... Just be careful. You get in this frame of mind, you get reckless.

[bou_hunt]

I'll be careful. I'm a monk, remember? We're always very careful about what we do.

[7th_warrant]

Do not walk that path. It only leads to ruin.

[bou_hunt]

It's not my first time seeing death. I'll be fine.

[7th_warrant]

No matter how many deaths one might see, regret is far more dangerous still.

[bou_hunt]

...I suppose you're right.
