3/8

[darkinferno]

[A link. And then, a couple moments later...]

if you defended me when furugawa made that comment about my parents shipping me off, you've gotta defend malik from this

it's not okay

[And if he says anything himself, things are only going to get worse.]




please

Re: 3/8

[standalonehuman]

Let me get this straight. You're on Malik's side here. The guy who nearly killed you both.

Because you're asking, I'll say something. But I'm going to need a better explanation.

[darkinferno]

i was on his side back in october too, remember

ask me whatever you want to know

[standalonehuman]

Oh I remember, but I still dont understand it.

You dont have to chase after him, keep him calmed down or something, to keep him from getting overtaken by- whatever that was that you could sense?

[darkinferno]

i don't really know

i just

[There's a long pause between this text and Dante's next one. He's been holding onto this for a while.]

it's... my fault all this happened in the first place. i know you'll say it isn't but it is

it's my fault he's in the position he is right now. and even if it wasn't he still needs help, not james shoving that in his face

[The words are a surprise at first, but the more Togusa looks at them, the more he starts to understand what's going on here. Dante already has his defenses up for Togusa's usual optimism. So, he needs a different tactic.]

Help me understand it, then. Why is it your fault, and why is it your job to be the one to help him?

[darkinferno]

["Dante. You're not responsible for him."]

i didn't say it was my job to help him

i don't think he'd accept any sort of help from me after everything that's happened

[standalonehuman]

Whether he'd accept it or not, your first instinct was to try to help him. Just not to let him know about it. I'm wondering why.
