... Because of the numbers. Without the hole in my head, I can't ignore them. I'd have had to count every piece of confetti that came out of that box we got. [That's the shortest answer he can think to give.]
[Well it sounds stupid when you put it like that.]
Aah, I suppose that's the long and short of it.
[...] Though, typically a lobotomy is performed on the prefrontal cortex, often through the sinus cavity. So to call the hole in my head a lobotomy isn't entirely correct, as it's in the wrong part of the frontal lobe.
[Well, that is a fair point. Of course that’s also, in a way, exactly the concern he had.]
... I won’t drill a hole in anyone’s head unless they want me to. You don’t have to worry. [So yeah he has probably in fact done this to other people. Apparently willingly???]
[He considers this for a long moment... Well... she doesn't seem horrified by any of this, so he's a bit at ease. Still, she's suggesting going against what he just said. But if he's honest...?]
... As long as there's a good reason. If they need one. Holes are meant to help, after all. [Sometimes people don't understand!! They can't realize or predict how things will be better once they have a hole.]
[He is just making all the wrong choices. His posture slackens a little though he doesn't move his hand. He barely flinches at the drink, just sort of drips impotently a moment.]
... You're quite impossible to please. I'm starting to think you were going to deny me no matter what I said.

... Because I had to.
[That's an answer that could mean so many things and arguably therefore not a real answer.]

Pitiful nonanswers are denied.

What? You gave yourself a lobotomy so you didn't have to count things?
no subject
Aah, I suppose that's the long and short of it.

Even if he's showing off what a nerd he is. ]
Does it matter that much when the essence of what I said is the point? What other holes have you made?
no subject
[Please don't make him explain more.]
I don't see how this is relevant to the matter at hand.
no subject
[ She is making him explain more. ]
Shouldn't I know the extent you'll go to? If you want to be my attendant or if you want access to my room.
[ Yeah, it's hers, not theirs.
I'm sorry even if she isn't. ]

If I want you to drill a hole in someone's head?
[ What, then? She asks it very innocently. ]

How else have they helped?
[ What kind of serial murderer are you, Fukuda? Medb wants to know! What's "helping"? ]
no subject
Simple. Wind goes in the hole, then it goes out, and then the world is clearer.
[Simple!!!]
no subject
But normally, people with holes in their heads die.
(shirou voice) people die when they're killed ]
I see. [ That the hole didn't help quite as much as he thought. ] Counting must have driven you crazy.
no subject
It felt that way. But I'm better now.
[Because of the hole.]
no subject
You're better but not good.
no subject
[No comment.]
I answered all your questions, though.
[So what's the verdict?]
no subject
[ Sorry, Fukuda. ]
no subject
You say that, but really, there's nothing stopping me from using my phone to get in, anyway.
no subject
[ There's a warning in her tone. ]
no subject
[He's not saying yes but he's also not saying no.]
no subject
[ That's an obvious warning. ]
no subject
Fukuda stands up, and even with the elevated seat Medb's on, he's still able to loom over her as he plants a hand on the bar counter in front of her.]
Then I'm saying you're going to change your mind.

Think again.
