Say.

[Generally when Fuji starts off with a phrase like that, coupled with that particular glint in his eyes, those who know him well enough give him a wide berth and try not to maintain eye-contact for too long. He's currently seated in the Mahogany pokemon center, looking cheerful and attentive, which generally means that he's bored as hell and gods forbid you attract his attention in any way.

But people don't know that. Yet. He tilts his head, and goes on, whimsically.]

People still celebrate their birthdays here, don't they? If you've arrived as an eighteen-year-old, and some time passes and your birthday rolls around, it's natural to want to celebrate it -- especially with the friendships that spring up over time.

On the other hand, I've heard from the grapevine that when you return to your own world, you're dropped off at the exact same point as when you've left.

[Consideration!]

If an eighteen-year-old celebrates his nineteenth birthday here, would that make that hypothetical person both eighteen and nineteen at the same time?

[That smile is wry. So very wry.]

In other news, I've recently heard of a tree that punches people.

Out of curiosity, how well does it dance?

...I know that.

[reveiller]

[He shakes his head.] I'm not scolding you. It's not my place.

It just means that you need to do whatever it takes to keep that promise, right?

[miniworth]

... I plan to.

I have to. To keep that promise, as well as to make sure I don't fail my father.

[reveiller]

[Oh man daddy issues. bawww.]

Sounds like you've made that decision.

[miniworth]

Well, I don't intend on breaking promises.

But.... I just wonder, if it would be right to leave behind someone who needs me now, here.

[reveiller]

'Which one needs you more?' would be a good question to ask at this point.

But a better question might be, 'which do you need more?', wouldn't you say?

[miniworth]

......No. I already know my answer to that question.

[He can't need a dead father over his living friend, now, can he?]

[reveiller]

That's just the thing, isn't it? Sometimes, there are things about ourselves that we think we know, but we actually don't know well enough to make proper judgment.

You're putting the needs of your friends before your own needs, aren't you.

[miniworth]

My friend needs someone with him more than I need to find my father justice. Even I can't value the dead's honor over my living friends, Fuji.

[reveiller]

True. On the other hand, there's another vital difference between the living and the dead, Miles.

[miniworth]

....What is it?

[reveiller]

Mm. I guess you can say that the living goes on, but there are no second chances for the dead.

[miniworth]

....I know that.

But my father's death affects a lot more people than just us, and I can't let the killer continue with his ways. I have to stop him.

[reveiller]

You might regret it for a long time if you don't.

[Wistful shrug.] But in the end, it's really up to you.

[miniworth]

....I'd prefer to try and fail than twiddle my thumbs and let some predestined future kill off an innocent man in a revenge plot against me.

[reveiller]

I'd say something about that being the spirit of things, but maybe that wouldn't be so appropriate in the light of a murder.

[miniworth]

.............No.


I suppose not.

[reveiller]

[Chuckle.]

Well, you know best.

[miniworth]

[A grin.]

I'll be back, with a bloated ego, and tell you about any victories.

[reveiller]

I'll ready a jousting lance to knock you off of your high horse. [Have a thumbs up, Miles.]

Be sure to bring back some interesting stories.

[miniworth]

Of course!

[reveiller]

Good luck.

[miniworth]

.......Thank you, Fuji.

[reveiller]

[Smile, and a wave!

And the video disconnects.]
