Some birthday present I got. Can you believe that? As if it's any of their business who gives me things.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

...wait, they were mad at you because you got a gift from someone?

[audio]

[dicey]

Yeah! Really dumb, right?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

That's... really weird.

Was the gift itself offending for them in any way, somehow?

[audio]

[dicey]

They just don't like the person who sent it, and think that means they're entitled to shove their noses into my business.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

...That's even more weird.

I mean... I guess it's kind of hard for me to even imagine that kind of situation taking place with anyone I know myself.

Is it okay for me to ask who that person was? Or would you rather keep it a secret?

[audio]

[dicey]

No, I don't give a fuck. It was Pitch Black.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Pitch gave you a gift...

Meaning that you probably need to be getting along with him?

[audio]

[dicey]

Duh. We get along pretty well sometimes, actually.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Wow, really? How do you do it? I've been trying to get along with him myself, but... well, Pitch is really hard to talk to sometimes.

... Though I imagine the fact that we had a rocky start might also have something to do with it.

[audio]

[dicey]

I don't expect him to be nice. That's a big part.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Hmm... I see.

I guess it would be a lot easier for me to get along with him if the whole thing with Joshua hadn't happened.

[audio]

[dicey]

What happened there?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Pitch... kept hurting him.

And I was being overprotective and couldn't stand by and watch it.

[audio]

[dicey]

Yeah. Same thing with me and Hanna.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Right, how could I forget about that...

I think Hanna was even worse off with Pitch than Joshua was. I actually tried negotiating with him for both Hanna's and Joshua's sake at first.

But considering you and Pitch get along... does that mean he's left Hanna alone by now and you've forgiven him for it?

[audio]

[dicey]

I haven't forgiven him, but it was a complicated situation.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

... So you haven't forgiven him but still get along with him?

[audio]

[dicey]

It's not as simple as forgiving or not forgiving, Ryoji.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Okay, so it's complicated...

Is it the kind of situation where you don't approve of or like what he did, but despite everything still understand it and are able to justify it?

[audio]

[dicey]

Yeah, that's right. That's a good way of putting it.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

We think alike in that regard, then.

It's somewhat reassuring.

[audio]

[dicey]

Why?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Because I thought something was wrong with me for thinking that way.

[audio]

[dicey]

Well, it makes sense to me.
