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.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Isn't it a little weird, though?

I mean... from what I'm aware of, if someone hurts someone dear to you... isn't it normal to be angry with them or even hate them for it?

[audio]

[dicey]

Sure. And I do feel like that sometimes.

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

...but other times you don't?

You can shift between one and the other?

[audio]

[dicey]

Uh, yeah? Why wouldn't I be able to?

[audio]

[the13tharcana]

Well... isn't it weird to hate someone, and then not, and then hate them again?

Sorry, it's just... I don't think I've ever really hated anyone, so it's simply hard for me to picture or understand it.

Maybe it's just a troll thing. Going back and forth like that isn't uncommon for us, even in romance.
