Just a, uh... quick question to the other Weapons here.

I've already tried looking things up on this, but I'm just a bit wary about trusting some of the material.

Weapons get stronger by collecting souls, right? Eating them... basically. I've heard that there was an alternative and Weapons could choose to not collect them, but-

What happens to the souls that we do collect? And can we still get stronger if we choose not to... do that?

[doc_holi]

Yeah... but we can still fight. It's not the end of the world.

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

Yeah...

[The choice is still awful, but he can sacrifice his goal for a little while. As long as he's not going backwards, then maybe he doesn't have to get stronger...]

Oh... By the way, I'm Yuugi.

[Since they seem to be in this crappy situation together as fellow conflicted Weapons, and since she's given him a lot of information, it seems like he should at least offer his name.]

Thanks for telling me what you know.

[doc_holi]

I'm Dr. Holiday. It's nice to meet you, even under these circumstances.

[He sounds like just a kid. This isn't right.]

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[And despite the circumstances, he's sincere about that. He hesitates somewhat, curious now but not wanting to be rude.]

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of doctor are you?

[Voice]

[doc_holi]

I'm a doctor of medicine, biochemistry, and nanotechnology... I'm pretty busy back in my home.

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

Wow... That's incredible!

[He's not faking that tone of awe.]

[Voice]

[doc_holi]

[OH COME NOW YOU'LL MAKE HER BLUSH]

Thank you, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I just did what I had to.

[Or her sister would probably be dead.]

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

['Not a big deal'? That is definitely a big deal.]

No... it's really incredible...

[And he was just thinking that they were in the same boat but she's at least like twenty boats ahead of him. Now he's in awe AND a little bit embarrassed.]

[Voice]

[doc_holi]

Oh, not really. There's no need to worry about that anyway. Not much of that is of any use here.

Except for the medicine bit. I'll be using that on as often as possible.

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

You can help a lot of people even without fighting.

[Voice]

[doc_holi]

That's the plan.

[She smiles, but... it falters.]

But I would rather they didn't get hurt in the first place, you know?

[Voice]

[mieru_mienai]

[There's a brief silence.]

I feel the same way...

[But the world isn't that kind, is it? This world, or any other.]

It's not possible to protect everyone, but being there for them afterward is just as important as trying. [He hesitates somewhat, because what he wants to say is a little bold for a first meeting.] Even if you decide not to fight, I think what you do will be enough.

[Voice]

[doc_holi]

... Thanks.

[She's not sure she feels the same where Six is concerned, but she wants to.]
