06 [accidental video]

[The device is filming from a table in the library. It shows Ganta curled up in a chair, wearing an over-sized sweater despite the season, with a thick book in his lap. There are other books stacked around him on the floor. The titles that can be seen cover a variety of topics--Japanese history since 2004, penal systems, genetics and biochemistry

That's a pretty song! Even though it's really sad.

[video]

[rookie_deadman]

Uh...thanks. My mom wrote it when I was a kid.

[video]

[sweetlittleguy]

She must have been a very poetic person!

Why is it so sad?

[video]

[rookie_deadman]

Yeah...maybe. I don't really remember, though.

...Because of who she wrote it for.

[calculatedfire]

History and birds?

What song is that?

[rookie_deadman]

I um...I'm trying to find some things out.

My mother wrote it, when I was a kid.

[calculatedfire]

About what? [Curious...]

It sounds sad.

[rookie_deadman]

About my powers and where I'm from.

...I guess it is.

Hello, Ganta-kun. Did you make it through the previous event well?

[ idk, I think it's "-kun"? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JAPAN. ]

[rookie_deadman]

["-KUN" WORKS. He would object if she used "-san".]

Hi, Shirogane-san.

Um...I got through parts of it okay.

[ ganta-desunekochins. ]

I see.

As a general question: did you encounter any Mirrors during their time on this side of the Mansion? Or did you venture into their world?

I feel that making a catalog of the Mirrors could prove useful in the future.

Is that what you were talking about? When you said that you once tried not having friends. "Touch your friends, and they all die."

[rookie_deadman]

...That's just how the song goes.

[demiurgos_girl]

Then what were you talking about?

[rookie_deadman]

...After the director made the forgeries, Deadmen weren't safe. So I tried to force Shiro to stop hanging around me by convincing her I hated her. To keep her safe.

...E-evil woodpecker?

[rookie_deadman]

...It's a song my mother wrote when I was little.

[born_from_mist]

Oh... W-well it sounds nice b-but sad too...

[Vivi finds a little difficult to relate to that since he never really had proper parents and his Grandpa never really sung anything to him; or anyone.]

[rookie_deadman]

Thanks, Vivi-kun.

How are you feeling now?
