I get that. I haven't been out of human society that long.

[ still stupid, though, the whole "murder is illegal" thing ]

Just how much are people going to put up with before they fight back? Isn't a hero somebody who fights for the people?

[becomemod]

Harming the mayor isn't really 'fighting for the people'. If you want to fight for the people, you have to actually listen to them. Have you even talked to anybody from this world, or did you just assume you knew best?

[hanaban]

I... spoke with somebody with a weird looking dog? His name is Makkachin!

[ and continued to just assume he knows best, yeah, because he does ]

[becomemod]

...a talking dog?

[What.]

[hanaban]

What?

[ yes ]

[becomemod]

Was it like...Hung? Or more of a dog-dog?

[hanaban]

More of a dog-dog. But kind of lumpy looking?

[becomemod]

Huh. I usually see humans or 'looks like humans' around here.

[hanaban]

Are you surprised? One of your new heroes is a raccoon, after all! And Whisper is a fox?

[ ?? or that's what it said on the profiles, anyways ]

[becomemod]

They're the outliers!

[hanaban]

[ looks up at the sky like whisper is a wolf, i can't read ]

You really haven't seen more of that sort of thing around here? Like, talking foxes, or fish, or maybe a tree?

[becomemod]

The most I've seen has been from people not from this world. That's why I was surprised to hear that there's a talking dog in this world, apparently.

[hanaban]

[ ... ]

I guess that's a good thing. If you're human, you should go on seeing humans. Things like me are just bad news.

[becomemod]

[Hm.]

You say that, but it's just going to make me go looking for anyone who's not human.

[hanaban]

Why go seeking out bad news? Ah! Don't tell me- you're a masochist!

[becomemod]

Wh-No!

[That's their senpai, not them.]

But I'm responsible for taking care of everyone, and that includes non-humans too.

[hanaban]

Haha!

[ uh huh, sure ]

You sure take that hero thing seriously! But you can't protect everyone, you know?

[becomemod]

I know that, nobody can save everyone. But I'm still going to try and save everyone I can.

[They seem set on this idea.]

[hanaban]

Villains too?

[ does everybody deserve to be saved? ]

[becomemod]

You beat them up first, but yeah. I don't kill people.

[hanaban]

Not even to save somebody important to you?

[becomemod]

Joke's on you: I don't have anybody important!

[Are they saying this because it's true? Or are they saying it to deflect away from the question? Who's to say!]

[hanaban]

[ noooo don't let Mouse know they said that ]

Then, for whose sake are you fighting for?

[becomemod]

Everyone's, and my own. I want to make a place to live in peacefully, but I can't stand watching people around me get hurt.

[A pause, and then they turn it to Hanako.]

What about you? You're asking me all these questions, so surely you must have thoughts on it.

[hanaban]

[ ... ]

The arcade's opening up soon, isn't it? Wow! Look at all these games! I've never played any of them before!
