I'm not the only one who read you saying that! I'm not even the only one who's upset!

If the kid took it to heart, he's got two choices. Not be that kinda guy, or admit to bein' that kinda guy, too, and live it up with no shame. Either one's fine with me.

Why won't you believe that he isn't, whatever I say?

'cause I've seen him. I know him. I talked to him. Your whole talk comes down to sayin' nothin' he does is bad 'cause it's him doin' it.

If the kid starts playin' community cop and attacking people left and right, you'd call him a hero of justice. If he don't bother 'cause he don't care as long as it ain't his problem and they ain't bugging him, you'll say it's 'cause he's an accepting, open, easy going kinda guy.

Don't get the wrong idea. I don't hate violent, horny, selfish, stupid guys. It's liars and people who make excuses and do shit half-assed I don't like.

But he isn't any of those things! Really, he isn't, and you know that because you know him!

He is those things. I'm okay with most of 'em.

You love him. Are you?

He isn't any of those things at all, and I still can't believe you think so.

I don't got a habit of lying.

Guess I over stepped it a little sayin' you're in love, then. Looks like it's just a crush. That'll be cute for a while, but keep it up past a certain point and you'll just end up a nuisance.

I've been a nuisance for a long time, Greed-san. I know that.

What're you gonna do about it?

I'm not going to listen to you. I'm very sorry, Greed-san, but... no matter what you say, I-I won't just believe everything, especially when I'm sure it's wrong!

You ain't sorry at all. I told you before, but lying pisses me off.

But I'm askin' what you're gonna do about bein' a nuisance.

I'm sorry to upset you, but I'm not sorry for not listening to you.

I don't know.

You are not. You're proud to be stickin' by him no matter what anyone says, ain't you? Puff out your chest a little and defy me with some sass, why don't you? You're willing to go attack a guy for giving him some shit, the least you can do for me is put a little heart into it.

W-well, I guess... you did say those things, after all.

So, let's hear it! C'mon, lemme have it! No apologies! Let it all out!

I. *takes deep breath* I... I hate the things you say, Greed-san! All you do is make things worse, and when people try to stand up to you you deny it! Issei isn't any of the things you said, and believing that he's not doesn't make me immature or annoying!

You don't just hate the stuff I say, right? You hate me personally, don'tcha? C'mon and tell me what I make worse.

You tease everybody and you never apologize and you say that trying to be a good person is worse than giving up and embracing the bad things, and... and I think he believes those horrible things you say about him!

If he was gonna "embrace the bad things," he'd have to have a bad trait or two to embrace. He'd have to do somethin' bad.

You think anything he's done's bad?

No. You do.

You don't think the kid's ever done nothin' bad the whole time you've known him.

But, what if he decides he has and wants to change to "be a better person", thinks of his own past him as bad? You gonna argue with him like you do everyone else who calls him on his shit?

I'll tell him that he isn't a bad person, I mean, if he wants to change, I can't make him not change, but he shouldn't just because people like you think there's something wrong with him.

Do you even want him to change to be more confident? Or d'you think he's perfect there, too?

I want him to be happy. He doesn't even believe that he's worth that and I can't convince him otherwise.
