What else are you hoping to learn?

[moextispicy]

A lot of my other self seems to be involved in this. Shouldn't I be curious about her?

[zettai]

Why? Does what Bern does affect your life?

[moextispicy]

Isn't everyone more interested in people like themselves?

[zettai]

I can't deny that, but I don't think your exact situation applies to most people.

[moextispicy]

Shouldn't the general principle still apply?

[zettai]

You two are different in a lot of ways, anyway.

[moextispicy]

I noticed.

[zettai]

What's your impression?

[moextispicy]

That she's a bully who doesn't have much else than that in her life. [Despite her words, it sounds more like she's thinking that over than judging it.]

[zettai]

That's... frighteningly on the mark.

[moextispicy]

You did tell me.

[zettai]

I guess I did, didn't I.

[moextispicy]

But that just makes me more curious, nipa~

[zettai]

Then answer this: why should you be allowed to keep going?

[moextispicy]

Do you want me to attempt to help Bernkastel?

[zettai]

That depends on what you have in mind.

[moextispicy]

[shrugs] I don't know her well enough yet to have any real plans.

[zettai]

It's not like she has any intention of dropping in to see you...

[moextispicy]

It's an infinitesimal chance. But would you honestly say that the cost to you of me staying is higher than the price of that chance?

[zettai]

Cost? It doesn't mean much to me. [this is a meaningful look]

[moextispicy]

Exactly. What does it cost you to let me stay?

[zettai]

Nothing much. That's why I'm allowing you to be here in the first place.

[moextispicy]

Then why not?

[zettai]

You won't even properly play the game to get to the next stage. [glances at the door]
