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.
