[Honestly he doesn't understand the look that took over her features. It really shouldn't have felt like a loss, he hadn't given any indication that he would be a decent companion, at least not in his own mind... and that's how he preferred to keep it. Things could get complicated all too quickly forming ties like that... he was guarding himself.
So what was this modicum of guilt?
Stop looking that way. As slight as the change was it remained with him. Perhaps it was because he'd been able to feel some of her emotions as if they were his own, and the loneliness encapsulated in the background had been on a whole other level of intensity.]
[Forget Miku, Monsters are better] Maybe sometime... you'll get to see it for yourself. [He was beginning to realize that if he wanted any chance of repairing his duel disk then he was going to have to start promoting the idea. If enough people took an interest then it would be more likely to be implemented into this system. Ok- Maybe Yugi shared SOME traits with him. They were both prideful and determined...] Unless he failed and this is the result. [Just saying]
[There would have at least been a few complaints submitted about him to the Phan-site if they all resided in one dimension. Or it would be like.. Alister upvoting multiple times... maybe Zigfried.] Wise decision, but I guess to dispose of the evidence you don't really have a choice. [Cough. If she thinks she doesn't look it then she should consult the mirror a second time.] Not if I can help it. He's a wisecracking delinquent riding on my rival's coattails. [Harsh]
[That sounds just like a video game actually, he's sticking to the assessment. It's not like some games don't also include maps that can randomly change. Then the boss stages usually have the set patterns]
[He does have the suspicions about the male with the poofy hair since he already knows someone that matches that description AND knows Ann]
You don't.... have to keep doing that. [If he was going to proceed then ground rules were being laid] Stop telling me you're sorry, I don't need your pity. [Trying not to lose his temper this time but it was starting to grate on his nerves. Fidgeting a bit, he started to pace until he composed himself, then he stood closer to her booth] It's all in the past... I couldn't care less. [Sure. That's why he'd been so upset] Just... same stipulation applies, tell no one what's been said here...
That narrows it down. [Looking sincerely at her] You saw the whole thing didn't you? The so called accelerated learning program.. [The contempt was a little hard to miss] That was my step father's idea of how to best raise a child- no that isn't the right word, a replacement. [Did she know about Noah? Just how much did he have to go into?!] I can't fully fault the curriculum, it's all served me well, everything from foreign languages, to economics, and business. [Looking smug for a moment, because yes he is incredible and yes he aced those studies... but it's short lived] I suppose I should feel flattered that he realized that potential in me... but I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I don't.
