But...

[look look look fuCK for once is thinking he is coNeCCTING the dOTS-]

You're also a person.

You're both.

[mrfuckwit]

.. Yeah? That's sort of the difference. Amon tried to also possess my consciousness but couldn't. I have his biology and instincts but not his personality and soul.

_{[ He's noticing that light bulb going off. ]}

What about it? I've explained it to you before.

[incelligent]

[Strange, to think something so hideous on the outside could be the same on the inside. Simon, however, doesn't completely buy it. Sure, they may have the same kinds of organs, but there must be some kind of size ratio. The heart has to be bigger, for example, to sustain a monstrosity like that.

He bristles, slightly-]

I know.

[It wouldn't change how he viewed his only friend here. Akira is whatever part, whatever tiny percentage-]

So you like to fight, and demons and humans both look gross when you slice right through 'em.

Got it.

[Still human after all.

Casually, with an odd sort of nonchalance, Simon reaches for a towel and begins to dry off his own hair.]

Did you like it?

[The question is asked while Simon's eyes are closed. Akira will be able to hear the sounds of the blond shuffling the towel over his head.]

[mrfuckwit]

_{[ It’s a strange topic to have, but Akira doesn’t mind the curiosity. The questions that Simon is asking are becoming unsettling and it makes Akira think for a moment. ]}

Well.
Yeah. I did. But it’s not something I could have ever done without Amon’s fusion to my body. He gave me a confidence I didn’t have.. and a delight for blood that sometimes I can’t help.

Besides.

They weren’t people anymore, Simon. They were demons that had succeeded in completely possessing a person and turning them into monsters that had become cold and ruthless.

_{[ Akira scrunches his nose, uncomfortable. ]}

Ugh. Why am I defending them? Mankind as a whole isn’t worth saving anymore. People can be even more terrible than demons and that is what I first hand witnessed. I sacrificed my body for nothing in the end.

[incelligent]

[Why, yes.

They certainly can be.]

For someone who says he hates humans, you sure do care about them an awful lot.

[Simon looks over his shoulder, though his expression is...

Well, blank.]

Just somethin' I noticed.

[mrfuckwit]

_{[ Quickly: ]}

I care about the ones that matter.
There’s a difference.

[incelligent]

[Simon's expression changes here, some softness returning.

He knows that sentiment well.]

Well, sure ya do.

You just can't trust everybody.

[He shrugs, almost moving to get up but... waiting for Akira to turn away ASDLFKJASKFJ so he won't See Anything]

They've gotta prove their worth first.

[mrfuckwit]

That’s exactly it.
Why else would I invite you here with me?

It was a test, and you passed.

_{[ 🎉]}

You actually came with me. You didn’t mind being vulnerable with me even if it’s a different experience for you. It showed loyalty to me.

I already thanked you, so I don’t have to say it again.

_{[ oohhh cagey boy is starting to make his exit, tsun tsun tsun ]}

[incelligent]

[cagey boy is making his exit, so that means that... pasty boy can finally raise himself from the bath

cue some blushy and unintelligible mumbling, before the muffle utterance of:]

But I wanna make the honor roll...
