So... [Junpei rubs the back of his neck and looks sheepish.] Is everything normal again

[Because Fenris really doesn't understand phone etiquette or why Junpei hung up on him last night.]

I believe some cultures say you end up here when you die, yes.

[There's silence for a little while before a sigh. He doesn't sound as bad as last night.]

So if we die down here we're double dead I guess. Whatever double dead could be. Man, this place sucks.

I don't think 'dead' has stages, Junpei.

[tereteindahouse]

How do you know? Have you been dead before? It could.

[doesnotbrood]

[You've got to be kidding me...] Well that's...something...

audio.

[tereteindahouse]

Relax, Fenris-san. I'm just kidding.

audio.

[doesnotbrood]

I'm perfectly relaxed at the moment.

audio.

[tereteindahouse]

I-It's just a saying. Good to know though! [He chuckles.]

audio.

[doesnotbrood]

Ah. [That made more sense.] If I said anything last night that...upset you I'm...sorry.

[tereteindahouse]

[There's silence for a moment and when he speaks his cheerfulness sounds a little forced.]

I-It's fine, Fenris-san. Heh. Dude, just remember that drinking doesn't really solve any of your problems. It just puts them away for a while.

[doesnotbrood]

It...allows me to momentarily shed the veneer of restraint and resolve that was beaten into me. I know what the drink does, Junpei. I'm not a fool.

[tereteindahouse]

[More silence. He doesn't know him well enough to argue.] Right.

audio.

[doesnotbrood]

Is there a problem I'm missing here?

audio.

[tereteindahouse]

[He sounds upbeat.] No, Fenris-san, there's not. It's cool.

audio.

[doesnotbrood]

I see, well, I'm glad, then.
