[ ... He's not really liking this curse. Not a bit. Naoya's voice is under duress. ]

... Atsuro.

I... believe we need to speak.

[ And then he adds: ] Please keep my cousin out of this. I'm sorry, but he doesn't need to be involved.

[ There is some quiet breathing as Naoya tries to control himself. ]

It seems to me that the city is either sadistic or naive to the fact that not all pasts are pleasant.

[Joshua is sharing those sentiments, and there isn't much of a teasing or amused tone in his voice. He's doing his best to ignore what he sees or at least keep it from affecting him as much as it does.]

[ If you could see his face, it'd be a wry smile. ]

... Of course. The ones responsible for this are quite naive. Unsettling us like this... haha.

[ A laugh. He's not coping well, a little unhinged. ] In the end, I wonder if it matters... trying to leave the past when it is so eager to reach out to you.
