Leave him alone! You think traumatizing him further is really going to help?

I'm merely inquiring as to why he continues to play at being a model citizen of society. I've seen that man's true nature.

There's a difference between playing and trying. I believe he's trying to change.

Hei is not heartless. He's just lost.

It will only result in failure. It still calls to him ...that same voice that echoes in my mind, begging for slaughter. He can't resist it.

Shut up!

I've seen monsters, and I've seen humans. Hei is no monster. Don't you antagonize him!

I see what that man wants better than you, and I only wish to find the means to grant his true desire.

Because you have his best interests at heart?

Of course.

What a good friend you are. I'm touched.

I never said we were friends. I only live next door to him.

Then why do you care so much about what he's trying to be?

Because there are aspects of him that could benefit me greatly. But enough about me.

Why do you insist on interfering?

...That sounds like something...Johan could have said...

Because he's my friend, and I don't want him to suffer.

If you continue to do so, I won't hesitate in slicing your head off.

You consider me a threat, then? Here I thought you were so sure of yourself and your supposed understanding of him.

It's not a threat which motivates me. I consider you an annoyance.

Well I consider you to be pathetic. I guess we can't all get what we want.

Try your threats on someone who's actually scared of you.

Think whatever you wish. You're not anyone of interest to me.

But I'll only grant you that one warning about getting in the way of my own ambition.

If you're honestly threatening to kill me, I'd like to see you try. Maybe getting struck down a notch or two will teach you some humility.

That could be arranged.

There's no need to defend me, Nina. Sticking your nose into things when you really know nothing -- is this your attempt to be noble? Foolish

He'll kill you.

[ooc: ...;; Hei = dick ]

I'm just trying to help you, whether you see it or not. You don't need that kind of influence right now.

He won't. I'm not helpless. Don't worry about it.

Stay out of my business, Nina. You have no reason to care - your sympathy means nothing to me.

Don't get yourself killed for my sake.

I warned you.

A person doesn't choose to care for someone else. So whether or not it means anything to you, I care. And I'm not only doing this for you. A man like that shouldn't be allowed to get away with what he does.

And you expect to stop him? I'm sure you know just well as me that the dead don't stay dead here.
