No...

[holeful]

[Pointing to himself?????]

[gamerbrain]

[ ... she nods... ]

Aoi thought... Because you wanted to spend time with Aoi, but didn't want to play Aoi's route...

[holeful]

... I did want to. I just knew I shouldn't.

[In any case.]

But thank you for indulging me as much as you did. I'm sure it's not really what you wanted to be doing.

[gamerbrain]

It's Aoi's purpose. But you let Aoi choose.

[ ... ]

But you don't let other people choose?

[holeful]

Mm. I made a mistake. Miss Hondomachi, the detective who caught me, she showed me that. She showed me that I really wanted other people to make the decision themselves. To make the decision I did.

That's why I didn't want to do that to Aoi unless you wanted me to.

[gamerbrain]

Then you learned your lesson.

So why do you have to get voted for?

[holeful]

[He laughs softly.]

There wasn't anyone better to pick. Even if I had a chance to explain that, I don't think people would have believed me.

[gamerbrain]

Even if that's true, Aoi still hates it.

[holeful]

Aah. Me too.
[He admits, quietly.]

Maybe after I die, I'll wake up in a different game, as a different person. Someone worthy of playing Aoi's route.

[gamerbrain]

[ it's too bad that her inability to read the mood and the slowly dawning realization that she isn't part of a game right now are intersecting in this way. ]

Aoi doesn't think that's how it'll work.

[holeful]

[Listen it's fine. Proud of her. Fukuda just figures this is her way of rejecting him which is understandable.]

Haha... Well. I suppose I don't deserve to ask anything of you.
