But I do mean it when I say sorry! I'm not saying it for anyone else, see?

[ sorry rafal, unfortunately he really is this delusional. ]

[nilhilistic]

Your apologies are cheap. You spend them like water.

[skelters]

You know, that's not the best analogy to make to someone like me ...

[ okay, that was meant to be a joke! ]

[nilhilistic]

My point stands.

What are you really apologizing for?

[skelters]

[ really pushing the boundaries of truth meme like this but honestly he delulu believes all this dumb bs ]

For being ... evasive?

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

Fine.

Tell me a truthful thing instead.

[skelters]

Really? Just anything at all?

[ sus ... ]

[nilhilistic]

Considering how hard it is to get you to say anything about yourself, we might as well start small.

[skelters]

Hahaha ...

Well, I like spending time with you! Does that count?

[nilhilistic]

No.

[ like he's going to believe that!! ]

[skelters]

Then ... What should I say?

[nilhilistic]

Say something about yourself.

Surely it cannot be that hard.

[skelters]

Well, surely it shouldn't come as that unbelievable. You are fun to talk to.

[nilhilistic]

I have never been fun in my entire life.

[skelters]

I guess it's not too late to start now?

[ such a hypocrite???? ]

[nilhilistic]

Why would I bother?

[skelters]

Seriously?
You want to be unfun for the rest of your life?

[nilhilistic]

It is no concern of mine to be "fun" or not.

I have a purpose. That's all I need to fulfil.

[skelters]

That's what you need to do, yes ... But you could try, anyway?

[nilhilistic]

Why?

[ it'll just be another thing for him to fail at. rafal the worthless. forming bonds, connections would be the greatest trick. a trick he has performed before.

he's tired of tricks, tired of pretending to be someone else to be liked. he is rafal. this is who he is. ]

[skelters]

Because otherwise you'll get lonely!

[ even superficial ones like this .... they help. ]

[nilhilistic]

[ bluntly: ]

I am a mass murderer.

So what if I get lonely? So what if there is suffering?

[skelters]

[ well, so is vash!

but honestly, it should feel a bit hypocritical of vash to say stuff like this ... ]

Even if you think that, you still deserve some happiness too, you know.

cw: mentions of murder

[nilhilistic]

Don't be absurd.

If anything, it proves the very opposite. What kind of world do we build if we forgive the harshest of sins? I killed every single human being! With my own hands! No one made me do it, no one controlled me.

[ it was just rafal and the spectre of his father looming over him. the long years, war after war, as more parts of him withered inside. he snapped. he broke the covenant he made with nil to protect nel. and after all that, after everything — he hadn't come an inch closer to what he wanted.

he won't make that mistake again. of wanting, of yearning, of believing. ]

[skelters]

... Alright.

You don't have to enjoy it. But you won't change what I think about you!

[ everyone makes mistakes ... it's the ability to recognise and repent that makes a difference in people, he thinks.

well, he still doesn't get included in that pool though, unlike rafal. ]
