So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon. Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

[ keigo hummed thoughtfully. ]

Well, that's fair... But what makes you think you take after him at all? Are those memories you've been gettin' like... believable?

[ because his ... well, they were. ]

Depends what you consider 'believable', but it's not about the magic stuff.

It's just... I'm self-aware enough to know what my own flaws are, or at least some of them. And he's got those flaws too, just turned up to eleven.

[He can see all his own bad points in Dazai, but he doesn't take it to the extremes Dazai did. Yet.]

Huh. So, he's kinda like you, but like an exaggerated version, maybe?

[ that's how keigo was taking it, at any rate. ]

Pretty much. Like me but worse.

Hm.

[ that was interesting. ]

Well, even if you have some of the same traits, and even if you have those memories, those things are in the past either way, y'know?

[ this type of advice didn't really work on him, so maybe he was being a bit hypocritical, but-- ]

[Hypocritical advice is definitely the way to go.]

I know. It's not like I'm just going to give up because I'm doomed to be that guy, or something like that.

Well, that's a start, I guess. It's best to just take this crap with a grain of salt. We can't really be sure what it all really means when Retrospec hasn't exactly been straightforward with us from the start.

Retrospec doesn't know the meaning of being straightforward, or helpful.

[ he laughed at that. ] You're right. There's no hope for them, at this point. We'll just have to figure stuff out ourselves. Just like always.

Same as usual... At least we're getting used to it. I don't know if that's a good thing for our sanity, but it makes it easier to deal with this crap.
