IC Contact Post - DDD

You've reached Ryudo Issei. I can't pick up the phone right now for one reason or another, but if you leave a message, I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Voice(mail) and text only.

I-...perhaps I just needed to talk to someone.

I can always provide that.

I can't run away, not from this. Not again.

But if Sola-sama really does fall in love with me...then she'll have ensured my death. Even if I should have no choice, I--

[His voice cracked audibly, and there was a pause before he spoke again.]

I don't want to die like that.

If I can do anything in any way. Even if it's just to provide a little more living beforehand. If I can do anything...

...at this point, there's probably nothing that can be done at all. I don't even know if nullifying the curse is possible, let alone if that would stop the effect it's already had on Sola-sama.

This isn't...this isn't fair. All I wanted was a second chance, and instead I get to see it fall apart.

If anyone can do it, it's probably Kefka, if that helps.

I... I know it's not. I'm sorry. I want to do something.

...then tell me, from all of what little you may know of me. What atrocity have I committed to deserve repeating this fate again?

None.

Then why do I feel as if I can't stop this?

I...I'm afraid, Issei. And I'm never afraid.

Expecting your death can do that. If I had the slightest idea of what to do to help you, you know it would be done in an instant.

I expected my first years before it happened. I wasn't afraid then, so why am I now?

I know--you're my friend and I trust absolutely that you would help me, but I don't think you can.

...I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.

...I'm sorry. I've probably just needlessly troubled you with things neither of us can change.

No. Under no circumstances are you to hide things from me just because you don't know how I can help yet. Do not do that to me.

I...I won't, if you'll be this adamant about it.

Good.

...now that I've figured this much out, what's left? I can't just give up, but...I don't know. I feel like I don't know anything anymore.

I'll reflect on it. I don't know what to do at the moment.

Please don't go to too much trouble.

Rejected. I'll go to as much trouble as I wish.

I don't want to make this any worse by causing my friends difficulty.

Consider it an inevitability of being my friend.

Then consider my apologizing for it just as inevitable.

I don't have to like it.

And I don't have to like that you're going to such trouble for my sake.
