[LISTEN!! In this matter, he doesn't think Childe is wrong. These people are fools.]
I did. [And on one hand, something about those memories hit him very strangely so he doesn't bother doxxing the entirely. On the other, he's still rude and mean enough to say:] I'd imagine he was arguing against the self-sacrifice shit because of some sort of abandonment complex.
Mm. That wouldn't surprise me. [Lu Bixing is that type of person... he sighs.] I'm a little impressed he even had it in him to kill Four. I wasn't sure he would.
[UN FUCKING FORTUNATELY, CHILDE IS ALSO A HARBINGER, SO HE AIN'T DISAGREEING.]
Most of them, sure. [He knows people too... but he also Knows people, from a mortal perspective that Scaramouche will, for all his best efforts, never truly have.] Some of them are self-sacrificing to the end, though.
[And there are some things that are worth sacrificing for, he thinks, but he knows better than to say that to someone like Scaramouche.]
Wow though damn, pointing out his otherness. It's true, though; he's long since stopped wanting to be anything close to human, but the distance between himself and humanity has remained about the same and likely always will.]
Only because they manage to sacrifice themselves before reaching the limit of what they'd sacrifice for.
[This is such a truly misanthropic take but he is a truly misanthropic person.]
[HE RIGHT THO... Childe does feel for Tuuri, in a way, because he Does Not Like being manipulated and he would've been furious if that had happened to him--but at the same time, as Harrow will point out in a week from this conversation, Tuuri didn't have to die over it. It was a choice they all made, voting for her, and Childe can't and won't dredge up sympathy for people who act like it's out of their hands.]
Yeah. [He thinks Scaramouche is probably right, and it turns out later that he is, waow.] I guess we'll see in a few days. If Tuuri and Kon remember once they're here, they might try to tell people.
[Scaramouche smiles the beatific smile of a cruelass, angry god.]
Hm, do you think so? I hope they do.
[SAID IN THE TONE OF SOMEONE WHO JUST WANTS TO WATCH THINGS BURN. He thinks that would be very entertaining! And honestly what he hears of trial next week really will get a lil giggle outta him.]

ALSO THEY'RE SO MEAN. HELP. THIS IS SO FUNNY. He just laughs because of course.]
Oh, was he out there yelling about it, too? Haha. [HAHA.] It probably hit too close to home, so he had to say something.
no subject
Oh? Did you see a memory of his?

[He's concede that Scaramouche might be right on that point, at least.
Only might, though.]
no subject
Neither here nor there though, I guess, considering they made a mess out of everything regardless.
no subject
Do you think they'll try and hunt down the true culprit? [smashcut to this trial]
no subject
Zelgadis might, I guess. I don't see anyone else being invested enough to risk their own chance at returning over something like that.
["SOMETHING LIKE THAT" he says, like it was not a Deeply Troubling Scenario to many.]

Of course you do.
