[Hey guys here's a self monologue with the phone off the hook. Worst luck ever.]I don't get why I put everyone else before myself. A friend pointed it out to me the other day and I decided that she's right but... I have to protect the people around me. It's still bothering me though; she seemed so worried; I didn't mean to worry her. I guess I

[aliensinyour]

You too, huh? You sound like a friend of mine.

[illusionkiller]

What'd your friend do about this?

[aliensinyour]

He just did whatever he felt was right. Even if he died, he would always put everyone in front of himself. There's nothing wrong with doing the right thing.

[illusionkiller]

No, I think your friend is right. As stupid as it sounds I'd probably always do the right thing too.

[Guess who's a complete failure? This girl. She hears aaaall about you thanks to Miss Misaka being madly in love, but... Taiga still can't piece together WHO you are. So have fun with some more extreme tsun.]

Yeah, you really are an idiot.

[Might I add she has no clue what you're talking about?]

[illusionkiller]

*Touma will gladly tell her all about him if she asks. BUT WE KNOW SHE WON'T. Although he remembers her from the grand cabbage incident.*

I have a feeling you'd say that.

[tsuntiger]

[Asking things, of a guy? So silly! Honestly, she might not even make the connection that he's the cabbage "thief".

Jerksaka gave her some extra anger that needs to be blown off and you're the lucky victim.]

You called yourself one. I'm just agreeing with you.

[illusionkiller]

*I can't decide if he's lucky or unlucky here.*

I guess you've got a point there.

[dynamic_may_lee]

I feel like I get the "you need to take care of yourself, too" speech every other day. I definitely feel you on this, though.

[illusionkiller]

But when do you decide that you're more important? I don't have an answer to that yet.

[dynamic_may_lee]

For me, it never comes. If a hero has to die in the line of duty, then so be it. It's just something the people important to me will need to learn to respect.

[illusionkiller]

Oh yeah, you think of yourself as a hero right?

I don't think I've ever thought of myself like that so I guess that doesn't apply to me.

[What is still botheri-
I-I was worried but don't tell it to whole Mayfie-
...You're an idiot.
Don't say usele-

There were so many things she wanted to comment to, but she was left with one pressing question.]

..So, do you understand it or not?

[illusionkiller]

I think I'm starting to but... I still feel really confused.

[butterflypsych]

It's not supposed to be complicated, it's supposed to be common sense. ..What is confusing you?

[illusionkiller]

I donno... I guess I can't decide where the line should be drawn? I always want to protect everyone so I've never thought about when I should look after myself.
