Ah... yeah. But we're done with all've that. You're safe here.

Safe here?

Safe from what?

Hell. And all those demon bastards that kidnapped us.

...oh?

And you....invited us here?

Of course. Everyone from wild city should stick t'gether.

[That's right, they left-]

[Toothless. TOOTHLESS.]

That is a fair point. I'm still impressed how you got Toothless.

[Except it's NOT.]

I got...? You're the one who brought him.

Really? And how did I do that?

When you graduated, you get a wish. No way you were gonna leave that dragon behind.

Your headache's gotta be really bad if you forgot that.

A wish? They just...give you a wish?

Well, it's not exactly a wish but... is your memory really this bad?

Maybe I took a harder hit to the head yesterday then I thought.

If it's not a wish, what is it?

[frowns and floating up again so he can actually see the top of Rye's head, looking for an injury]

...it's like a deal. You pick heaven or hell. If you pick heaven you go home and nothing's changed, but if you pick hell you can be more flexible.

....flexible. Hmmm, no, still fuzzy. Can you give more detail? What does it mean to pick Hell?

You like... make a deal with some demons... Do some work for them or something...

[handwaves]

What's it matter? You should be getting someone to look at your head.

....demons are dangerous creatures that cause suffering.

Agreeing to work for them would mean doing bad things, wouldn't it?

[Definitely no injuries on his head, of course.]

And it matters for reasons. Come on, I'm not known for stopping my questions.

...I'm a dangerous creature that causes suffering.

[simply, he has no judgement against demons]

I'll do bad things if it means wild city stays together. This was all worth it.

And what did I do?

[frowns]

I... I dunno. That's with you.

....if I chose to come here....then Talon would have gotten through to me.

To rely fully on Wild City. To not bear stress alone.

Doing bad things for demons....even it the prize was Toothless, that would hurt me.

It wouldn't be a secret.

[scratches his head, confused]

Well... ask Talon, then.

It wouldn't be all on one person.

Then again... [He pulls out a napkin and it has a far more detailed sketch of a dragon.]

Did I ever tell you why I kept my leg instead of having SensitIV attach a new one?

...Uh... I guess not? I just figured you were fine without it. Dazai never got his eye replaced.

Hunny suggested I do it on day one. Didn't sit well with me. But I was fine replacing my hand, so why did it bother me?

And I realized because it didn't feel fair. To take away something I had in common with Toothless.

[He taps the picture of Toothless in flight. And the rig of ropes and metal that run to his tailfin.] We were both injured in similar ways. I couldn't walk, he couldn't fly....

I don't think it would be a quiet thing, my suffering doing a demon's bidding.

And it definitely wouldn't be quiet that I didn't reunite with my partner.

[rubs his head]

What're you getting at?
