[He has done a considerable amount of murder. But since this has yet to really bite him in the ass:]

"Files?"

[Why would anything he did in Vision be recorded?]

[backspacing]

I have files that tell me about each one of you. Detailing your past, the decisions you have made, that sort of thing.

You weren't particularly kind, were you?

[killtheanimals]

[...]

How could you...?

[Neither confirming or denying the kindness part, that doesn't much matter to him honestly. But that information--

How would someone be able to get such a thing?]

[backspacing]

It's my job to know such things. A Facilitator understands the world around them and makes the pieces fit together properly. They make sure the code runs perfectly.

Well, hypothetically speaking. You are a person, not code.

[killtheanimals]

...Yet you didn't even know about the voice. And why even bring code into it?

[Since clearly they're all people.]

[backspacing]

It was a metaphor.

[She's a programmer, Mitsuru >T]

The voice isn't from your world, so it's not in your file. It's not in anyone's file.

[killtheanimals]

[He's eleven and from 1999!! Coding isn't a commonplace thing!!!]

So you don't know everything about this world either, then.

[backspacing]

No, they generally prefer it if people like us don't know much about their world.

[killtheanimals]

"People like us?"

[backspacing]

I come from another world, just like you do. The people of this world are generally distrustful of 'otherworlders'.

[killtheanimals]

You're from another world, yet you keep coming back here of your own will?

[He sounds dubious. Why???]

[backspacing]

It's more like I chose to stay in this world. Permanently.

[killtheanimals]

Why?

[backspacing]

[PLAYER INPUT: 'evens'

RESULT: '98']

I am the only person left in my world. There's no point to living there anymore.

[killtheanimals]

[--Oh.

He does at least go quiet. For a brief, brief moment.]

...That doesn't explain why you decided to spend so much time here.

[backspacing]

I have my reasons.

...I want to limit your suffering as much as possible.

[General 'your' there.]

[killtheanimals]

We can still grow deathly ill, but as long as we have fun along the way, huh?

[BITTER.]

[She wants to say 'that's not what I mean', but. Well. It's exactly what she means.]

Most of you are probably going to die here. I have some guesses at who will make it- [She's been running this long enough to notice patterns in those who make it to the end.] -but there's no guarantee of who will live and who won't.

I would rather those that die have a few good final memories. It's about all I can do here.

[killtheanimals]

How selfless of you.

[Mmm sarcasm.]

Do you feel obligated to all the kids who have already died?

[backspacing]

Each and every one of them.

Hiro. Mabel. Roxy. Ryoji. Heat. Yusuke. Haruka. Marona. Steven. Need I go on? I haven't forgotten a single one of them, and I never will.

I'm well aware of the blood on my hands, Mitsuru. I don't need you to remind me of that.

[killtheanimals]

[When he looks at her again, though it's through narrowed eyes. Sullen.]

...Are some of them from the others' worlds, too? Or parallels of them.

[Everyone did seem incredibly concerned about that little possibility.]
