[Deckard watches Kagerou watch him, realizing that the other's gaze is locked on his handgun. ~He really thinks I'd shoot him?~ Then Kagerou speaks, and the words rock him back on his heels.]
[~W-what!? No! No, Kagerou, I would /never/-!~ He clamps down on the reactions, keeping from spilling the thoughts out loud and /hoping/ they don't show on his face. Too much. He's grimacing. Damn...how is he supposed to respond to that?]
[How is he supposed to react - if he's understanding the mad ramblings correctly - to the revelation that, as much as anyone or anything else, it's probably been HIM who's punished and tortured this robot.]
[~This is so wrong! This is so, SO wrong!~]
Did it? [He's grasping at straws, trying his best to play off Kagerou's revelations to see what more he can learn. As much as he knows he'll probably hate pretty much anything he hears, at least maybe he'll hit on something he can use, something that'll help.] You tell me how well it worked. What did you learn last time?
