after everything, he COULD use one slightly more brain-off conversation.
Angel Devil's voice stays every bit as playful and emotive, but his face and body language go completely dull and still. ]
As good as over and done with. We WERE given all our pieces back, more or less... and... well, if I, say, missed a spot, it's... fixable. Loathe as I would be to have borne it.
...It does make it clear that I have some work ahead of me to be better prepared for the worse case scenario. Ah, to live, is to learn~.

... That shouldn't have happened to you. To anyone. Is this the kind of thing that we have to expect in this place? How long have you been put through things like this?
sympathy makes him monolog i'm sorry belle
"How long have I been put through it"... Ahhh.
Did you, perhaps... think of Levie and I as helpless, when the demon chose to flay us alive for our cheek...? As doomed lambs, fated to suffer...? Is that how you saw the remains of Thistle, too~?
Personally...
I saw a would-be jailer with spit in their eye.
Rose has known misfortune since the outset. A coin flip out of our favor, and we came to meet Lady Death in a matter of days... yet, here I stand. Pain is ephemeral. Just a fleeting dream, of the senses.
Though, yes, as the tide, suffering here comes, so too it goes. Yet... it isn't some random act of nature, an unfeeling universe, not banal, pointless cruelty that simply happens to a body. There is always a reason the demons come to call. Rules, winners, losers, a summoner, whether it be a waking sheep taking us unawares, a vengeful wolf desirous of blood for blood...
Cause. Effect. Action. Reaction.
...
I don't suffer pointlessly, Belle Melusine. I suffer to a means to an end. If your heart aches under the weight of what you've witnessed... offer it to me not. Instead... forge it to fire, for me, will you? There is so much more for us to understand, and the pain is just a tool to cow us.
