BARiTONES - SUNDAY

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

RECIPE BOOK

Oh my, look at us, with half the orders worked out already.

Let's work on the second, then.

Very well. Endless are my memories. I hope you get one that is more promising than not, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[Conflict, eh? (Until 11:40) SHADOWBRINGERS SPOILERS

He can't help but laugh when he sees it.]

Ah, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Ever do I respect them, but wish to also bury them under the land never to rise again.

Comparing many lifetimes of loss to just one seems rather insensitive.

I don't think mine has as much gravitas...

[ Yvette, posing as a high school girl, eavesdrops on a conversation an impossibly beautiful silver haired young man is having over the phone in the taxi they're sharing. Together, the pair hear that Narumi-san is not the younger brother of Kiyotaka, but his clone, created on his mother's orders to prolong his career as a musician. He would serve as a guinea pig for medications, a test body for novel procedures, and if needed, spare parts. This fate is made even crueler by the fact the cloning process is imperfect and he will likely not live past the age of twenty. ]

They desire to live. I can't begrudge them for it, but that doesn't mean I will hesitate to grind them into the dirt. I also had kidnapped their dear friend at the time. You might have remembered him. Cat ears. Was on sensitIV.

[He reaches out to touch her arm for that.]

A fate you were given, but you fight against it. To success I might add. There is no lack of cruelty in the world, intentional and not, but ever must we band together and rise above.

Noah, was it?

[ leaning into the touch. ]

Leviathan's wish has resolved the problem, so Narumi-san is free to live however he likes. I truly hate that man. Kiyotaka.

Correct.

He is dead, isn't he? This Kiyotaka. If not, perhaps he should be.

He's quite alive and married, though I daresay I would rather deny him the end he so desires until he's cleaned up the mess he's made.

When he regains the desire to live, then he should die.
