[justforyou]

Was looking through the news sites recently and found this article.

Some guy is going around killing teenagers. Can't say I really blame the killer that much, though. Most kids that age are annoying brats. They can't understand anything.

So what if this guy is a 'serial killer' or something? They can't even prove the same person did it, right? So getting all up in arms about it seems kind of pointless to me. You guys agree, right?

That's right... That's why they died. They weren't the person the killer loved. They were just in the way.

Their loved ones or mine. I'd choose mine. That's why. They weren't anything to me.

[selene]

E.. eh? [ They weren't anything.. to me? That makes it sound a little personal, even if she of course doesn't know who the anon is. ]

Don't tell me you're the person who killed them..!

Ah... I guess I let it slip. You're right. It's me.

[selene]

No way, why would a person like that be on the community?! [ Not like there's bad things on her that often, after all - or at least, not posted by the people who caused said bad things. ]

Why are you hurting people..?!

They were in my way. Besides, like I said..they would have died anyway by someone else's hand.

Might as well be me.

[selene]

Thinking that way isn't right! I just said too that nobody deserves to die, right..? S.. so ending someone's life isn't good, it's no good at all! God wouldn't forgive you for something like that, you know..? S.. so.. please better your life instead.

...Why are you like this? A person like me can't be as good as someone like you.

[selene]

[ Huh? They're.. almost regretful, or.. no, maybe that's not the good word. But when she reads the line, it's almost like she realises it. No matter what they did, the person on the other side isn't entirely cruel. They can't be if they said something like that.

It's nice. It gives her a little bit more hope. ]

Why can't you? There's nothing bad about changing your way now, you know. Sure, what happened is horrible, but.. you can still change. That's what is important.

I just can't care about the majority of people. I just can't. That's the difference between us.

[selene]

But even if you don't care about them, that doesn't mean you have to kill them, you know..? If you don't care about people, then that's a little sad, but.. it's still fine, it means you can just leave them alone.

That's not how the world works, though.

[selene]

Of course it's how the world works! There's plenty of people who don't care about each other but still leave each other alone every day!

They're dangerous!

[selene]

Dangerous? Since you think they're going to hurt the person you care about..?

anon; text

[justforyou]

Yeah, that's exactly it.

[selene]

Even so.. there should be another way to resolve it. Maybe you could talk to those people and convince them otherwise.. killing is never a solution, you know.

It only makes people sad..

I can't agree with you.

It's not personal.

[selene]

I'm just trying to say what's best for you too, anon-san! R.. really, continuing like this is only going to hurt a lot of people, including you!

[justforyou]

You're wrong. This is the best way. It has to be.

[selene]

.. You aren't even afraid you'll regret something in the end..?

anon; text

[justforyou]

Why should I? I'll end up like them eventually...

[selene]

[ Eventually..? Well, of course Usagi just takes it as that everyone dies, so.. ]

Don't think like that. Even if there's always death, there's always life too. You still can experience so many wonderful things in life.. isn't it more important to focus on those first? If you have regrets, they might get in the way of your enjoyment, you know.

[justforyou]

Everybody has regrets, you know.

[selene]

That's why you've got to make sure from now on to only make good choices! People learn from regrets.

I can't agree with that.
