[ in before ken gets akechi in trouble over nothing. ]
My memory that I shared with Blue and my conversation with them. Looking back on it again, Blue merged with the house... [ honestly there was just so much in that memory. ] I don't think there's a real physical Blue that exists anymore.
[ not with all the red he saw and the pulsing heartbeats. ]
After all, why wouldn't they just leave if they hated it so much here? [ ... ] I could be wrong. I kind of hope I'm wrong, you know?
I told Blue that we were going to be friends and I want to make sure they have some good memories to look back on. [ his tail and ears drooping. ] I know what it's like to watch people die in front of you for your sake, after all.
Those notes we got from the dead seemed to imply that killing Blue would just make the Oddity stronger. So. . . I don't think that's the right answer. I don't.
[he remembers the note-- something about removing the heart metaphysically-- and glances down]
I really don't know how we're supposed to separate them, but I'm hoping we can somehow find the answer within the coming week.
[and. . .]
. . . you're kind. I think. . . Blue could use friends.
I agree, I mean, the Oddity also keeps Blue around for a reason, too.
[ which is strange in itself. like okay? so they want to prove they're better but... why? ego-stroking???? ]
It's something in the way that we're doing differently than everyone else before us. Nick was right to say that we're so close because we are. There's something missing but I don't know what that is.
[ and once again. there is that wall that ken runs into that he can't see over or around. ]
As for Blue...well, it just seemed natural for me. I remember how helpful it was to have someone around back then. [ he appreciates being called kind, though. it's a good quality to have. ] You'll be Blue's friend, too, right?
Definitely something. [ they're struggling with it. phoenix struggled with it. it's the need for that final "ah-hah" moment to get it... however, as it can, the final straw is always just out of reach by the smallest of margins. ] I'm sure we'll find a break somehow...
[ though he'll brighten up when akira says that he'll be blue's friend too. ]
Good; I'm glad, and they were a little surprised when I told them I'd be their friend too.

[Akira trails off at that, because despite all of the investigation he's been doing, he has no idea what might be missing, either]
[. . .]
[well. he can worry about that later. for no. . . the rest of what Ken says draws a smile to his features]
Of course I will. I told them that, too. They seemed kind of surprised.
