...that's unexpected.

[holeful]

Is it? It's just not something I ever needed to learn.

[shiftingwinds]

Most people know how to where I come from. Even I do, and I'm not a martial god.

[holeful]

[He shrugs!!]

Well, it's probably for the best I don't make things harder than they need to be.

[shiftingwinds]

...you still think your life is worth less than others?

[holeful]

I think that's what everyone else thinks. So my opinion doesn't really matter. I'd just end up killed by someone else, the way everyone was ready to take out HK-47 if he survived.

[shiftingwinds]

That's different. HK-47 admitted to killing someone. We have proof that you're innocent.

[holeful]

Miss Qingxuan... Just because I didn't kill anyone here doesn't mean I'm innocent.

[shiftingwinds]

...were you planning to hurt anyone here, Fukuda?

[holeful]

[He shakes his head.]

Miss Hondomachi, the detective who caught me, she showed me that what I really wanted was to see someone else make the same decision I did. So I would have only drilled a hole in someone's head here if they asked me to.

[shiftingwinds]

...and I have a hard time imagining anyone asking for that.

So... why do you think they'd try to kill you if you made it out of there alive?

[holeful]

Because they aren't going to believe me if I say I don't want to kill anyone here, I don't think. Especially if I've just killed someone to survive.

[shiftingwinds]

That's not necessarily true. No one's tried to kill me for surviving, and no one's accused me of murder. [a beat.] Except for you, I suppose.

[holeful]

You didn't kill HK-47. The room did.

[shiftingwinds]

Close enough, isn't it? Two of us went in there, and only one came out.

[holeful]

The other difference is no one here has any reason to dislike you.

[shiftingwinds]

[heavy. sigh.]

You're really determined to find any excuse not to fight for your life, aren't you.

[holeful]

It just seems to me like it's be less painful to just let it happen than to struggle against it. It's not like I want to die this time.

[shiftingwinds]

You don't want to die, but you're willing to just let it happen?

[that makes nO SENSE]

[holeful]

Well, I know being shot in the head is less painful than being electrocuted. It's the same principle. If I'm going to die, I'd rather be in as little pain as possible.

[shiftingwinds]

But it's not a given that you have to die!

[holeful]

Why do you care so much? Isn't someone like me due whats coming to them?

[shiftingwinds]

I'm a god - caring about people is what I do. I can't change that.

[holeful]

Then what about the people I killed? You could care about them instead.

[shiftingwinds]

It doesn't have to be "instead". It's not like my ability to care is something I'm going to run out of.
