You've never respected me, and Dahut's too dead to hear it.
[HE COULD SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY]
Do you mean besides the fact that he can be mistaken for an easy target? That if someone's curious about my technology, he's be simpler to go after than myself?
Or it could just be some idiot who likes to cause chaos by attacking what looks like a happy-go-lucky teenager to instill fear in the rest of you.
[ kazuki listens silently, not looking at scien. ]
...I know you're upset, too. [ just noting that before he moves on, shaking his head. ] That's a stupid reason. Even Adonis has bigger goals than that.
Even you have to think of him as more than just an assistant.
[ that annoyance is crawling back in now, maybe punctuated by his frustration at the situation overall. watching one person die was horrible enough, but this?
but even that uneasiness is met with a sense of almost-exasperation. again, the emotion still Isn't Quite Right.]
Despite what you all seem to think of me, I'm a person whose goals are to preserve life. Dahut was, too. Another killing would be useless unless that person intends to take more life, in which case it can't be helped.
I don't know you well enough to make an assumption like that. [ whether he'd want to protect life or take it. ] Some people are too casual about that kind of thing.

Just trying to be respectful.

[ but he didn't understand adonis, either, so what else is new. ]

[and clearly! that's all!!! clearly that's the only thing fucking him up!!]
If there is a bigger goal for the purpose of killing Dahut, I'll hear it. If I decide it's not enough, then the perpetrator must answer to me.
