hikari closes his eyes for a second, before reopening them.]
... He, his sister, and I have shared that dream since I was a child. [simply,] And I will never give up on it for as long as I draw breath, especially with how many people have died on the way, such as Jin Mei.
It's too bad that you're here. I would have liked to see the kind of things you would have done to achieve that dream.
[he already knows that hikari would Kill for the dream, but like he means more specifically. how twisted could hikari become? or would he be twisted at all?]
rang takes a moment to survey hikari over his glass, then]
Gumihos are divine creatures, but they're still only beasts to humans. It's like a human giving birth to a dog or an another animal. It's an abomination.

again, hikari remains silent for a few moments.]
Yes. Jin Mei was kind, and someone who wished for a peaceful future.
no subject
He must be relieved to know that you want the same thing, unless he's reincarnated already.
[but rang thinks he'd still be happy that hikari didn't turn out to be an insane weirdo.... unless he secretly is /gazes]

hikari knows what rang is thinking
so he just stares, unimpressed. hello!!!!!!]
no subject
rang takes a little sippy hehe,]
I promised to tell you a story too, didn't I? What would you like to know?
[it was about his brother but maybe hikari is interested in other reasons why rang remains insane, who knows]
no subject
... Whatever you are willing to tell about yourself.
no subject
[wow... things he's willing to tell him about himself,]
I'll tell you about my mother. My brother and I are half-siblings too, actually. We share the same father, who I've never met.
My mother was human. She prayed so that she wouldn't have me, but she tried her best after I was born. Even though the village hated us both.
no subject
there's something understanding that flickers in hikari's gaze, before it retreats into a more neutral look.]
Because you were neither fully human nor the opposite?

no subject
... And what do you yourself think of it?
no subject
I think I was just a child back then.
But I became that monster eventually, so maybe they were right after all.
no subject
You have many terrible qualities and no doubt a number of atrocities to your name [bluntly] but I do not see you as a monster.
no subject
That's because you're weird.
no subject
I don't think I'm that odd...
no subject
That's because your standards are also weird.
no subject
What's wrong with my standards?
[ :/ ]
no subject
no subject
wow]
I didn't say I was happy over the idea.
no subject
Would you have said if you were? Are you ever happy, Hikari?
no subject
What?
no subject
no subject
... Have I done anything to give the impression otherwise?
no subject
I think you're like Matsui. Whenever you do feel happy, you just feel guilt over it.
no subject
... I am entirely capable of feeling happy without guilt, Rang.
[he only feels guilty about experiencing happiness sometimes?]
