It's almost touching how you're ready to casually murder me.
But really, do you think even I would toy with you in this way? If you don't believe me, then go confirm it yourself and hear the truth with your own two ears.
Fortunately, the cafe was in his name. There is enough space there for now.
Don't be stupid. There's plenty of space upfront. It's not like either of us know how to run a coffee shop.
I'm being realistic. Maybe that thought lets you sleep at night, but I'd rather not be coddled by a thought and be disappointed when this world is cruel on its own.
As I said, fools like you cope with the situation differently. Arguing will lead us no where, and I tire of your insistence with your disillusional thoughts. If Ren returns? Then it will be a surprise. I am not hedging my bets on it. Simple as that.
Now, now now...are you going to try and threaten me? At least that would be more amusing. Don't worry, once the three months of grace are up, I will find myself someone else. I do like this...unique situation where I don't need to attach myself to anyone important.
I am not threatening you, either, simply making a suggestion. Since you do not share my faith, and have no concern about finding a new dominant, you are free to leave.
[He grows tired of this - says the man who's been told that he shouldn't grow tired of this.]
Such wise words, from someone who was so easily lead astray into a false sense of reality, and refused to leave it at first.
[Yes, it's a very deliberate low blow. It's also a point he's trying to make with him. Not because he cares or anything.]
Have you ever even thought for yourself? First with Madarame, and then Ren. It's rather easy to have someone to rely on and tell you what to do, isn't it?
Faced with the possibility that things might not go your way, you would rather cling to blind faith.
It seems you misunderstand what I'm saying. It's not a question of love, you fool. Were you ever told about the others who were here before us, or was Ren tight-lipped about that? Do you know about another one like him called Akira, who was a submissive? Another of me? Or about Takami, Sakamoto and yourself?
What will you do, I wonder, if a new Ren shows up? Or even worse...that particular Ren is not even interested in you?
[Cause Goro is certainly not projecting.]
I'd rather be prepared to deal with the possibility than just cling to a single strand in perpetual hopelessness.
[ He knew about the other Ren that was called something else. Another version of himself, though? No clue. Not that he'll let on and give Akechi the satisfaction of rattling him. ]
It won't matter if he doesn't remember. He loved me before either of us set foot here. If he comes back and he isn't the same, then I can repay his kindness and ease him into this world as he did for me.

No, it looks like the idiot left us to fend for ourselves.

He is no longer present in the city. We have three months to adjust to the situation.

if you're saying this just to rile me up I'll throw you out of the window.

[ And, several minutes later: ]
He'll be back.
no subject
[...of course he would.]
If that thought makes you feel better, go ahead and think that.
I've learned not to hedge my bets on misguided hopes or dreams.
no subject
You have learned the wrong lessons from your failures, then. The true lesson is to never bet against Ren.

no subject
I am not asking you to wait for him with me. Find a new dominant so I can turn your room into a studio.

You call it faith. I call it stupidity.
no subject
Your opinion means nothing to me whatsoever. I am not ashamed to have faith in people I love.
If that is a flaw, I would prefer it over your lack of trust in anyone or anything.

Why do you want me to be as miserable as you?
no subject
How noble of you. And if he never shows up, then what? Ahh that's right, you cling to the hope he will.
[Guess who's ignoring the question. It's him.]
It was pointless for me to speak with you. Goodbye.
