Professor Stein has departed the city.

It's a relief, however, that those bubbles have finally disappeared. If the city is going to act so childish, it could at least make sure to douse people evenly with the paint.

[ private to Crona; ]

Do you have any interest in continuing your studies from Shibusen while you were here?

It really is a relief that the bubbles are gone.

[He was hiding in his room whole this time to avoid them!]

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

...In that case, I really have to meet her. [Except he already did, but he doesn't know about that. She never introduced herself!]

[voice]

[grimreaping]

You should. She's a good person and a dear friend.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

...Is... anyone else from your friends here?

[voice]

[grimreaping]

Maka's partner Soul, and Crona. Professor Stein was also from Shibusen, as well.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

...Her partner? [He is now wondering what Kid means by that.]

Oh, but, I guess it's good that they're here, too... isn't it? ... I-I mean, sure it's not good at all they're also stuck here and all, but...

[voice]

[grimreaping]

I'm glad to be able to see them while I'm here, but I'll also be glad when they're able to return home. Black*Star, another friend, was brought here and already sent away. So while I will miss him because I will not see him for a while, it's good that he's home again.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

I-I think similar, but... I can't help, but wish that maybe some of my friends would appear here... I wonder if it's selfish?

[voice]

[grimreaping]

Well... [ kindly ] It's a little bit selfish, but not in a bad way.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

[He blinks.]

Selfish... but not in a bad way? [He's so confused now.]

[voice]

[grimreaping]

It means that you want something with good intentions.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

Can it really apply to being selfish though? Can someone really be selfish with good intentions?... Isn't it still a bad thing that I want someone to be here, just because I want to see them again?

Re: [voice]

[grimreaping]

That's why it's selfish with good intentions. You want to see the people you know, which is normal, but you don't want them to be trapped here as well.

[voice] I really thought I replied to this one already ;;

[demonicbookworm]

...So it's okay...? [He's still not sure about all of this, but he nods after a moment.] I think I... understand now...

[voice] np!

[grimreaping]

Maybe it's best if you don't dwell on it too much.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

Maybe? I... I guess I really do think too much about things like that...
