A little. I don't have a plan for the worst case scenario yet, and more and more I'm starting to think that needs to change.

[digiorno]

I understand that you like to do this kind of thing yourself. But if you need help, I'd offer it freely. I don't care to have someone like that in my city.

[Yeah. "Mine". What about it.]

[doreimi]

Izabel told you, right? I told her she could.

Maybe I can't get him myself, but I know what he wants most. So if he ever does show up I can at least make sure he never gets it.

[digiorno]

People to hurt? Do I have that right?

[doreimi]

Not exactly. He told me he wants to live a quiet life, with no one bothering him.

So that he can kill people in his free time, I guess.

[digiorno]

Hilarious.

How much do you want him to suffer, Reimi?

[doreimi]

I don't usually think about it in terms of how much. Usually I think of it as "how long", instead.

[digiorno]

How do you feel about forever?

[doreimi]

Yeah. That's what I'd want.

No peace, ever again. That's exactly what I'd want.

[digiorno]

I can make that happen. The only thing I would have to figure out is how to keep you involved in its execution, if that is something you want.

[doreimi]

Is that what you did to Trish's dad?

[digiorno]

It is.

[doreimi]

...I'm not saying no, but. Aren't you dealing with your own complicated stuff already? I wasn't trying to get you caught up in mine too.

[digiorno]

What exactly do you think I'm dealing with?

[doreimi]

The way Izabel put it was "being kind of military about it", so I get the sense that it's something pretty big, and pretty bad. A lot worse than it looks on the surface.

I don't think that kind of information control and damage mitigation tends to happen when it's an AVERAGE little kid showing up here. That's like...well, like she said, like soldiers in a crisis, or something.

[digiorno]

Yes, but also no. It has the potential to be bad, but isn't at the moment.

In any case, I do much better if I have a lot of things to occupy my time and energy.

[doreimi]

Haha, just get a really demanding girlfriend. That'll occupy all your time and energy in a flash.

(Sorry, I'm trying to lighten the mood. Koichi's girlfriend was like that and boy was she something.)

In seriousness, I'm glad it's not bad at the moment, though. And that you've got things under control.

[digiorno]

I'm pretty sure I'm the demanding girlfriend, actually.

Thank you. But you know I wouldn't offer unless I knew I could handle it. And it's important to me that you're safe and

[What is the word.]

Satisfied with the state of things.

[doreimi]

...So is part of having a Stand being really high-maintenance or something? I'm kind of noticing a trend here.

I do feel safe here, yeah. Satisfied I'm still working on but it's just average petty stuff.

[digiorno]

No, I think that's just a me thing. I know someone with a Stand who forgets to shower on a regular basis.

I'm glad. If that changes and I can help, tell me.

[doreimi]

I can think of three or four others, so it's probably not just you, at least.

I'll keep an eye out and let you know if something comes up.
