[Feel special! He doesn't do it for that many people.]

Yes. I have. I want to see if there are other options.

It may be the first solution presented to us, but... it's too early to give up looking for another answer.

What about you?

[specialdog]

Bluntly, I think expecting a secret miracle solution is naive.

[omegathree]

Some amount of bloodshed is unavoidable.

[It's impossible to believe all of this was unnecessary.

Maybe that's just because Val wants to believe good exists as a concept. He'd like to believe the universe itself isn't this cruel.]

I don't think just one person left standing is right. [It hurts too much. To make bonds with these people and then have to sever them so severely? He can't swallow it so easily.] This is an answer. I'll keep looking for another for as long as I remain here.

Some amount, huh...?

Would you kill, then, if you needed to? Or just spend all your energy hoping there's some special ending to unlock?

[omegathree]

Yes. I'm a demon, Akane. I've plenty of determination to kill if it came to it.

[specialdog]

I know that...

What I mean is--are you just going to wait around, here?

[omegathree]

I'm going to pour my energy for the next week or two finding another answer.

And if I can't find anything or any other leads, I'll start.

[specialdog]

At this rate we'll be down to one person within a week or two.

[ that is. only a mild exaggeration with 4 dead and limited partnerships... ]

[omegathree]

We'll see what happens tomorrow.

[He won't feel like he's wasted his time if he just keeps looking for an answer.]

[specialdog]

Yeah... We'll see.
