It's dangerous out here tonight. Is everyone else in good health?

[Something is off in Issei's voice, besides the earnest way he asks his next question:]

Please, can I do anything for anyone? I'll do anything. Anything my meager skills can accomplish.

[It's a shame that the post is only in audio, so there isn't anything like a pair of golden eyes to warn the listeners... Well, unless he switches to video upon commenting. Then it's a little more easily apparent.]

Denied you?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Denied I was a part of him.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

What part?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

The part that's honest with themselves.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

...Is it the same for the others with doubles?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

It is. We're all parts of you that have been denied.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Does everyone have one?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...I'm not certain. I'm sorry, forgive me.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

[So much for that.]

Could you tell me where you are right now?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. Someone else wants to rescue 'me' for some reason.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Ah.

It's because we're his friends.

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I don't have any of those.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

No?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Not a one.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Why do you think that?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Friends should be equals, shouldn't they?

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Yes...?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I'm not equal to anyone. I'm a servant, and a poor one.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Why a servant?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the role for someone willing to do anything to please?

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

...Is it because you want to be?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

No. I want to be their equal.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

Then why do you act like a servant?

[Audio]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I'm just not good enough to be anything else.

[Audio]

[berry-paunch.livejournal.com]

That's not true.
