[So, remember that neat police headquarter building that went up recently?]

[Well, you're getting a delightful view of its roof from above, as the ninjabot makes his landing on said roof. A roof which has sprouted a new addition in the last, quiet, few days. And it kind of... looks like a nest, for lack of a better word.]

[Granted, it's a nest made out of bits of scrap metal and whatever else he managed to find in the junk pile recently. But there's a shelter over one end, and, as he steps nearer to it, the interior of the bowl-shaped construction has... a definite color scheme. Purple and green bits and pieces stuck to the walls.]

[Meanwhile, Kagerou just. Steps in. As if this were the most normal thing ever.]

Since we're discussing the disappearances... [He thought posting his location would be smart.] If I'm needed, I will be staying up here from now on.

It shouldn't be difficult to find.

Childish, are you?

[He shakes his head slightly.]

I wonder what it is that makes me, then.

I don't think so, I mean I like to have fun but I wouldn't say that I'm childish, but sometimes the others see it like that.

It doesn't make you anything, you are Kagerou. We are all at different points in learning about being alive, so it makes sense that we don't really compare to each other.

So then... what do you do? To tell them they're wrong?

I was created before you. Before... most of you here. And yet I know the least.

Well I tried to tell them I wasn't being childish before, but they seemed to think they just had to tell me I was more. So instead I go out and play soccer, it helps me feel better.

But you had different circumstances, right? We all grow differently depending on what things happen around us.

No, they don't seem to be interested in hearing things that go against what they believe. Do they?

I... did, yes.

I don't think any of us really do. I mean who likes to hear someone tell them they are wrong about something?

Then it's okay to be at a different point.

Your Gunmax seems to think I like to.

[Because why else would he tell Kagerou he's wrong so often?]

He doesn't like hearing it either, I think he does stuff like that just to be difficult.

[Because Gunmax is the single most stubborn of all of them.]

That's stupid.

Well... I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that he is particularly smart.

[He whispers that a little conspiratorially.]

But joking aside, we all have things we aren't good at and are working on.

He's not. [He nods slightly.] He's a buttfuck.

[Because Vandal said so.]

Then he should try harder.

A... [Drill Boy does a quick search of his words, and finally comes across what he thinks that means.] Kagerou... that's a bad thing to say.

We all have to try hard.

... But Vandal said that was what he was. She wouldn't say anything bad.

[Honey, your naivete is showing.]

He doesn't try hard enough.

[He thinks on that a little.]

Maybe it isn't as bad where she comes from... but it's pretty bad where we do.

Sometimes he doesn't... but sometimes he just tries really hard the wrong way.

... Why wouldn't she tell me it was bad?

[Vandal's his friend. You tell friends these things.]

Wrong way?

Maybe in her world it isn't bad, or not bad like it is in ours.

[He shrugs slightly, he doesn't want to tell Kagerou his friend wasn't honest with him, since he doesn't know if she was or wasn't.]

Yeah he... he tries to do a lot of stuff on his own and he has even done stuff that wasn't really safe in order to stop the bad guys. But he is still trying to get the bad guys even when he is doing that.

I've never heard it...

[But now he intends to ask her. If possible.]

So he's foolish.

[Says the BP who took a girl hostage like it wasn't any old thing.]

Huh, it's in my databanks as English profanity, though apparently it isn't often used.

[Maybe that is why she didn't know it was a bad thing.]

But he does what he thinks is right, and he doesn't put others at risk as much as it might seem like.

You have a database for profanity...?

[WHY is that necessary.]

He still seems foolish to me.

Yep, so that I can give out tickets for excessive profanity if I come across it. But I don't use it, because they are bad words.

I'm not saying he isn't, just that... he doesn't do it just because, he normally has some kind of reason.

You give tickets for that? Shouldn't you be... doing other things?

[Solving real crimes?]

His reasons. I don't like his reasons.

Only if I came across it during non emergency times.

[He shrugs.]

I can't make you like them... but maybe at least trying to understand things from his side would give you less reason to be cross about him.

That seems silly.

[Kagerou have you met Saejima. Do you even know how silly your world gets.]

I have tried. He doesn't let me.

Well it's not the silliest thing.

[Everyone thought he was really silly when he first woke up after all.]

He can't stop you. He might not explain himself, but Gunmax rarely does, it's up to you to decide if you want to try just letting him do his own thing until you catch his reasons, or stay frustrated at him.

Then what is?

[Do you really want to ask that question.]

... He does his best to shut me out. It shouldn't matter. Should it? The opinion of one member of the Brave Police.

When I already know the opinion of the one who really matters to me.
