You'd be surprised how many people take things very personally. [the last week was an adventure, man.] Though I suppose if anyone were to understand our position it would be you. You have my thanks then.
...you haven't talked to Despair much, have you? [don't ask.] But I've never had plans for world domination, so your lack of judgment is also acceptable.
Nope! I was kind of suspicious of you all. The premise of this place was shady, even if your guys’ introduction was...
[ Snorts. He doesn’t need to continue that sentence. ]
Omi did go to his thingy when you all were eaten by the furby and told me about what he saw. By the sounds of it, there’s a crushing weight on Mister Despair’s shoulders.
[ Quietly, in a soft voice: ]
... He reminds me of the villain from 101 Dalmatians.
I refuse to be held accountable for the introduction as I wasn't a part of the group who went downstairs. [just saying! but he hums in thought at that.]
It's entirely possible. I've never fully asked. [...and then gojou says that and there's a surprised noise that's almost like a laugh.]
Please tell him that to his face before you leave.
It was like some cycle of sacrificing people for the world. First, it was to stop the apocalypse or something, then people had to sacrifice themselves so the world wasn’t so barren. A lot of sacrifice in there.
[ Yeets emet out because Gojou is like... Eh. They are probably never going to see each other. ]
You think he’d get the reference? Usually, I just crack things without thinking, but there’s no fun if people don’t get it.
[ His life here... At the station... With some of these oldes. ]
And a lot of people here don’t get it. Eleanor was my saving grace until she died.
That was the general impression I got from listening to others. What's one sacrifice for another, I suppose.
...unfortunately I don't believe he'd understand it. Emet-Selch hasn't exactly been open to learning about modern culture like some of the others are. But I'm sure you'd find amusement in it anyhow.
[i woke up and saw this at 5am and i had to close my laptop again. anyway, it takes a moment because miles is from the late 2020s and ergo knows what a boomer is.]
...in a way, yes. I do believe that's what I'm saying.
[ NOOOOOOOOOOOO THE IN-THREAD CONFIRMATION. Gojou at first smiles, letting it sink in... Just blinking a lot? And then the snickers come, the little laughs follow, and now he's cackling like a hyena to the point he might fall out of his seat.
Aww, I wanted to know how he reacted, but I can guess since we only have our imaginations.
[ Nanami's trademark sigh (Gojou has heard it too many times). ]
"Edgeworth-san, I implore you to never cross Mahito's path. We all have to choose our battles, but this one is unwinnable. A death sentence or, at the very least, a never-ending migraine."
[ IT'S A WARNING, ISN'T IT. HE KNOWS IT IS. Tell him, anyway. He's too curious. He wants to know how Miles Edgeworth does not heed Nanami's wise words. ]
Mostly to explain that you're a complete pain in the ass. [judging by the way he says it, there was more to it than that but he did, in fact, recall that.]
...I asked him about sorcery and jujutsu. Your name came up. You can't tell me you're surprised.
I like to think we had an understanding. [likely, the two of them were just similar enough they knew how to talk to each other and miles respected him.]

[ Gojou knows he's weird. It's fine. Also, stop thanking him for absolutely nothing. ]
The heart wants what it wants, right? I can't judge unless it's like... An evil wish or something. I don't know. World domination?

What a waaaaaste. He could have returned home as a hip grandpa, conquering the world with a snapback.
no subject
Could have, but that would imply that Emet-Selch is willing to learn from anyone else.
no subject
True. Anyway, I'll see if I can catch him tomorrow to tell him that. [ ... ] What were we initially talking about again? Wishes?
no subject
I think we were discussing how I was still correct about several things, actually. [shut up miles.]

It's not that hilarious of a notion. [god why does he like this man.] It was simply a thought after speaking with Nanami.

You realize Nanami told me about you as well, don't you? [where is that coming from and why is that important?]

Are you... Best boy?
