Let's talk about hate.

Let's suppose I hate someone very much. I could enact all manner of violence on this person and not be satisfied. I enjoy getting the better of them, and when I don't it drives me to to challenge them even more.

Classic hate.

The problem is that I am sure they think of me as insignificant dust, not worthy of anything close to a relationship. And for probably good reason - in wit and banter I can compete, but otherwise I'm not in a good position compared to them.

Your advice?

I'm not good at confessions in general.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. I don't have any good ideas because I don't have anybody I hate right now...

[unknownrival]

Maybe we can find you someone.

[aquaticrush]

You don't need to go to the trouble!

[unknownrival]

There's Kefka but he's a bit old for you...

[aquaticrush]

I think he just dislikes everybody equally.

[unknownrival]

Right. Nothing special there.

[aquaticrush]

It happens a lot. It's okay.

[unknownrival]

What about Scratch?

[aquaticrush]

He hates Kefka-san.

[unknownrival]

I'm trying to auspitice.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose that's true... Um, I know you're worried about me. Thank you.

[unknownrival]

No problem. I'll keep an eye out.

[aquaticrush]

We should focus on helping you first.

The person below... that's him, right?

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

Right, that's him.

You seem to have a good chance to me. Although maybe I'm a bad judge of who's actually flirting and who's just being mean.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I really hope so. I want this to work.

I wish we didn't have to be with someone. There's too much pressure if we fail. But I know you can have anyone you want! You're that kind of amazing person.

(Whereas Retasu has less than a sweep until the drones get her, but she's trying not to think about that.)

Maybe we should be focusing on matesprits for you?

[aquaticrush]

Issei-san, you have less time than I do! I don't think this is an effective use of... well, if you think it's a good idea.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

Is there anyone who catches your eye?

I mean. Besides me.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

Well, not really right now...

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

If it comes down to fooling the drones, I... would be willing to fill a pail with you.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

You don't have to do something like that for my sake!

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I don't want you to be culled!
