[Wow, Kagerou never looked so grim before. He's squinting at the camera like it's somehow offended him. He's also indoors. Inside an apartment. Where he has never gone in all the months he's been in the city.]

You all lied to me.

[... yeah that's a little harsher than he usually sounds. His lip actually curls.]

There's no one here. It's all mine.

Why were you all trying to tell me otherwise?

[Okay, while it's true he doesn't currently have a roommate, what the hell Kagerou. You're not usually this demanding.]

Is it because I'm not like any of you? Is that why you were trying to scare me off? Were you all lying to me about everything?

[REALLY not this demanding. Ever. Whoops.]

[Don't mind Bulkhead staring at the feed for a moment. What the heck?]

Lied? About what?

Video

[bigsoftie]

[Oh god...not you, Kagerous. Not you too. Please say you're kidding.]

No! I never would lie to you...

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

About this.

You all said I wouldn't be alone. But here I am. Did you think I wouldn't find out?

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

Then why did you tell me I would have to share this space?

Re: Video

[bigsoftie]

I thought you would! I did not know...

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

Right. Of course not.

You say that so easily, don't you. Everything is easy to you. You're alive! Life is simple for you.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

What.... [Oh come on, did you really catch it too? He's doing his best to stay calm, though]

I didn't lie to you about that. Usually there's roommates. I dunno, maybe they moved out or somethin'.

Video

[bigsoftie]

[He takes offense to that.]

You think it is easy?

I was never asked to live. I was never asked for this life.

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

Then you got lucky. You were lucky to be alive.

Don't tell me it's not easier that way!

Video

[bigsoftie]

You would not say that had you lived my life.

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

And you wouldn't speak like that to me if you had my existence.

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

That's not a good answer.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

It's the only one I got. Pit, even I had no roommates at one time. People just come and go. Or move out.

Video

[bigsoftie]

Then do not tell me my life is easy.

Easy is not watching the one you love wake from a beating!

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

At least you know you can love someone! Didn't you know? I'm just a worthless piece of tech! Not even good for salvaging -- disposable.

That's why all of you lied to me, isn't it. You kn--

...

Did you tell them. Is that what happened? Did you tell them!

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

So. What then? Am I so unimportant to you living things that you couldn't even tell me that?

Video

[bigsoftie]

But...I saw you cry.


...no. I would not tell anyone.

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

That doesn't mean anything.

You could be lying to me again.

[And, meanwhile, in the background, the worried little hell muppet's face pops up, making helpless little "no stop" motions at the video.]

[shoulderpads]

Are you looking to stay in an inhabited apartment?

[He isn't particularly attached to Kagerou personally, but he's part of the robot family so he's willing to make an offer.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Wh...Wh-What's wrong?

video

[fuckinstoplights]

No.

I like this better. I like being alone. Why would you even offer otherwise?

[video]

[fuckinstoplights]

Why do you think something is wrong?

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

[Aw hell no, you do not talk to her like that.

...Or at least talk to a general audience that she just happens to be in like that.]

Yeah, everyone lied to you. Clearly you're a genius. Now shut up and deal with it.

Video

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead doesn't care, that's his bro!]

Why would I lie? Please tell me you haven't changed...

Video

[fuckinstoplights]

I don't know, but you did!
