[Text. Alignment Virus.]

You know what confuses me the most? That some people can't tell when they've been virused.

It isn't hard to look on your past actions and think, "I would never have done this." You don't need an expository wardrobe change either. Or an opposite twin running around.

Speaking of which... it's very convenient not to have one, isn't it? I'm sure I would have been impaled by now in the worse way, had this been the third time Issei Ryudo picked up a doppelganger. But frankly, no one's going to do anything to the body the precious beloved Issei has, so I have free reign for as long as the virus lasts.

Now, dance like puppets for my amusement.

Perfectly fine from my point of view. Not so much from yours.

What happened?

Can't you figure that out yourself? I thought you were intelligent, for a Servant.

Any idiot can tell it's some kind of virus. I just don't know which one.

If there's a name I don't know it. I can tell you it hasn't affected me physically.

Then tell me what's happened.

Why would I want to make it that easy for you?

...b-because...I want to help you?

That's a good answer. But I don't need helping.

Issei, you aren't acting like yourself. I do not want you to say or do anything you will regret.

Oh, that's impossible to avoid, don't worry your pretty head about it.

I'm going to worry about it and at least try to prevent it.

When have you ever been able to prevent anything?

...wh-what?

When have you ever been able to prevent anything?

I don't...I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I think you know very well. You only avoided your own fate because you were rescued - by yourself, you can neither help anybody else nor change your history.

The knight of Fianna betrays his master to run off with his beloved, isn't that how it always goes?

...

I...Issei, stop it. You don't mean that.

What if I did?

You don't.

I mean it right now. I could not care less what I'll think after the virus is over.

It doesn't matter what you mean to say right now, because this is the result of a virus. You could say anything and think that you meant it.

But it bothers you to hear it in my voice, doesn't it?

I just said it didn't matter. I'm not going to believe you.

Ah, what a shame. I had all kinds of insults stored up for this very occasion.
