[lucentia]

What is there to explain?

[it is an extremely well done painting! it just sure is of a cockroach.]

[lucentia]

[...........

he looks like he still wants to defend tokinaga, but.]

Apologies. I am being presumptuous about your circumstances.

[vacuous]

I appreciate you trying.

It's just that these are arguments I've already had with myself.

[lucentia]

As though we must exit through the entrance?

[artificialsweetener]

I guess it wouldn't count as a place of trials if too many things were just straightforwardly helpful.

[lucentia]

... I suppose that when it's already happened, it no longer matters what could've or couldn't have been different.

[vacuous]

I'm more careful now, so I can avoid mistakes like that.

[lucentia]

I wish that you didn't have to be, though perhaps that's an empty sentiment.

[lucentia]

Testing us for the sake of testing us feels a little pointless at times, however.

[vacuous]

It's fine.

In the end, people will just assume things, like I'm crazy, or I'm degenerate, that I have ulterior motives...

If I can guide things along without them needing the full picture then they don't need to know anyway.

For a lot of people, the less they know, the better.

[lucentia]

[quietly,]

... You still deserve better than that, Tokinaga.

[lucentia]

I don't care for my body being this state currently, but it's hardly the worst it could be.

[vacuous]

I don't. But it's fine. It benefits me to figure out how to defeat the IPOs too.

[artificialsweetener]

I can't disagree with that!
Rather, on a whole, I find it pretty distasteful that we have to endure this and that at the whim of some higher power.
Even if we agreed to be here, it's frustrating, don't you think?

[lucentia]

Why do you think that you don't deserve better?

[vacuous]

Why don't you?

[lucentia]

What?

[vacuous]

The way you answer things makes me think you wouldn't have a satisfying answer for that either.

[lucentia]

This isn't about me.

[don't turn this against him???]

[vacuous]

Sure.

Self-sacrificial...

[ ...Brat... Lucien isn't goblin enough to call him a brat but it's somewhere between that and 'kid'. ]

[lucentia]

[lucien can be a brat when he wants to be...]

I'm simply carrying out my existence as a prince. [it's not self-sacrificial!!!] This is a different matter from what you're dealing with.

[vacuous]

Probably not as much as you think.

[lucentia]

Then, will you answer the question?

[vacuous]

Only if you do.

I've already said a lot.

[ You truly have to pry it out of this guy with both hands... ]

[lucentia]

—As if I haven't said a lot either!?

[HELLO? FUCK YOU]
