[It takes him by surprise but he understands. This isn't how any of this was supposed to go. But it went off 'plan' years ago. Every single time he has adjusted his goals and desires, it hasn't mattered, because they're always changed without taking his feelings into consideration. Once he finally accepted that, once he had finally settled on being satisfied as long as, for one minute, Shido felt lower than him, he came into his life and messed it all up. And he is here now, too, except he doesn't seem to recall their last meeting, so what was even the point of throwing it all away?

It doesn't feel like there was ever a point, really. There was never going to be a good outcome. But at least he knew what he would be doing tomorrow and the next day before now.]

I know how you feel in that regard. I was tempted earlier to walk and keep walking until... I suppose I felt like stopping. There really isn't a reason for me to be here at all.

['Here' is left ambiguous for a reason. His tone is soft but devoid of any real emotion at the moment.]
