[ The Seal doesn't seem to know it's not supposed to be in use at the moment, and is showing Kid sitting in the exact middle of his bed in Rotterdam. What little can be seen of the room shows that it's obsessively symmetrical and the nightstand, lamp and clock which had once been Izaya's now make both sides of the room perfectly mirrored

[ he keeps counting, although each number sounds like it's harder for him to get out ]

[demonicbookworm]

[He's getting worried!] ...D-did something happened? ...W-why are you reciting square numbers...?

[video]

[grimreaping]

Because they're balanced numbers.

[ another familiar voice; his counting slows like he's trying to listen without interrupting himself ]

[mykimlasca]

..Kid? Kid, I know you're there! I'm very worried about you, won't you tell me what's wrong?

....What's with the numbers?

[Video]

[grimreaping]

They're neat and precise.

[clockworkaholic]

...Because they're squares?

[Taking a stab at it.]

Why does it matter?

[Video]

[grimreaping]

Yes, exactly.

[ asking why does it matter is like asking him why does the sun rise ]

Because it's important!

[shootah]

You do not seem well, Kid.

[grimreaping]

I need distractions.

[shootah]

Do you like to sing?

[grimreaping]

I'm... not sure I ever have.

I'd rather count.

[pushesupglasses]

Is there any particular reason you are reciting only square numbers?

[grimreaping]

They're... balanced.

[pushesupglasses]

Yes, I suppose they are. I'm still not sure what purpose that serves.

[grimreaping]

I like them.
