And what were you plans with all of these... competitions? Didn't we have a conversation about... putting all your focus into a single, selfish goal? You even went to another country, right?
It's not selfish. [ HIS TEMPER ] You know as little about me now as you did the night you killed me.
It probably makes you feel better, right? Thinking I'm one of the people that would probably die trying to get onto your stupid ship. I won't shatter your expectations then.
I just wanted to swim! [ This is so stupid. ] It was my dad's dream, and he never got to do it. I wanted to do it for him, and for me.
I know it's not as selfless as wanting to save the world, and I know I was an asshole about it. But there's nothing wrong with wanting to do something you love, and I'm not going to let you make me feel bad about it.
[HILARIOUSLY, THIS IS ALSO VERY LEON OF HIM. Thank you for continuing to just be Leon Orcot... This doesn't seem to bother him either. ANNOYING.]
All humans are those things at least once in their lives. That's the nature of being human. But they can change if they are honest with themselves and acknowledge their shortcomings, or the true motivations for their desires.
[WHY ARE YOU SO AGGRESSIVE!! WHERE WAS THIS WHEN HE WAS KILLING YOU? He stumbles back because he is but a delicate maiden...]
It is not my responsibility to fix anyone. I merely show them what they fail to take the time to see... If they change, that is up to them alone. So no, I don't think that.
You're pretty full of yourself, too, if you keep assuming I think all of that of you specifically.

Was it school? Or money? Or fame?

Rin.
[He's aware Rin may not stop at all, but.]
no subject
He actually does stop, but he's so mad that he just rudely looks back at D and snaps, ] What now?
no subject
He is just a very chill guy, annoyingly.]
You didn't answer my question. [He was kind of sassy about it, but nevermind that.] What had been your intentions for competitive swimming?
I won't ever know anything about you if you always get angry and walk away.

laughs?
He just laughs! It isn't a cruel laugh by any means, just genuinely amused and maybe a bit surprised.]
Why would I make you feel bad about your honesty?
no subject
[ He marches over, grabbing the front of D's shirt. ]
Isn't that your aim? To be right that all humans are shitty and selfish?

He lets go and shoves him back. ]
Your high and mighty attitude is so annoying. I don't want to be around someone who thinks of me as some... rundown house in need of renovation.

If I started talking about how all vegetarians are idiots, wouldn't you assume that includes you?!
no subject
[He pinches Rin's nose suddenly between two fingers.]
Because even though I'm a vegetarian, I'm not an idiot. Be a little more confident in yourself, Rin.
