[He is, once again, sitting in the execution bar.]

... It'll keep happening, right?

[ he will just push an alcopop at him. drink up kid, the responsible adult says it's the right thing to do. ]

Two's coincidence. Three's a pattern.

... But probably, yes.

[He will take a sip of the alcopop and then slump further.]

Can't do anything when we're all asleep... [And then they have to watch something awful on Sunday every time?!]

Sure can't. I wonder if there's anyway to force yourself awake on a Thursday...

[ thinking. ]

It sounds like only if you're planning to kill, or if you're being killed.

Yeah, but if we could find another way. Hell, even if it was just observation -- it wouldn't be ideal, but it could take away some of the stress.

[ ... ]

I had a question for you.

[Looks up at Date.

Yes?]

Me?

There's no one else here.

How many names have you been given here anyway?

Three. Cosmos, Micah, Mikiri.

[ ... ]

And did you choose any of them yourself?

I agreed to all of them.

So, the answer is no, you didn't choose any of them for yourself but you agreed to let people call you by three different names?

[That's actually not true.]

I picked Mikiri.

[ he blinks. ]

Alright then, Mikiri it is. Where did the other two come from then? Forcible people not taking no for an answer?

Cosmos was from Eto and Micah was from Uriel. They were both before I picked something for myself.

I do like both of those names.

[ he tilts his head. ]

Did you find any you disliked?

Nobody has given me one I disliked.

[ … he ruffles his hair. ]

Normally people have one name, so I’ll stick to the one you picked for yourself, if that works for you.

[He seems to like that.]

Alright.

So.

Nice to meet you, Mikiri.

Nice to meet you too, Date.
