Yeah. I know.
[ Not in the same way at all--this is something he maybe could've turned a blind eye to, if he'd had reason to--but he knows what it is to need to do something, what it is to disbelieve the cops' ability to do anything besides make things worse. ]
So you, ah...what'd you do?

[ that's ... a good question. he never really thought much about it before. there were some passing exerts here and there that talked about Arsene the gentleman thief, but he had only paid half attention. ]
Because I'm a thief.
[ good as any explanation, right?? ]
He became Satanael later. Personas evolve when you do.
[ right to Satan, apparently. ]

[ w e l l ]
I had to.
[ there's a pause when he realizes that he should probably expand on that. at that time, he had no other choice: evolve or die, break free or let everyone down, in his eyes, he couldn't not. it was everything up until that point, including his connections to all the people who had helped him despite his situation.
it takes him a moment to word it properly. ]
... Other people I knew gave me that power, they believed in me. If I didn't, the God of Control would've remade the world how he wanted. It was then or never.
[ there was no second chance. ]

[Kyna bites her lip, quiet for a moment, just studying him. She can't imagine how terrifying that must have been, for all his talk of rebellion and changing things for the better. Even if you believe in something, all that pressure must be overwhelming.]
...You're really brave, you know that?
...You're really brave, you know that?
[It makes her heart twist. She doesn't know how she's managed to fall in with so many people that make her feel so cared for and so irreplaceable, but she's not used to it. Ren is especially good at it in an easy, matter-of-fact way that never overwhelms her. He's sweet.
She reaches for his hand again, squeezing tight, affection and fading surprise mingling.]
You're such a sap.

You're such a sap.
huh.
gonna need to start taking pictures.
gonna need to start taking pictures.
with what, the picture taking?
you could help with that.
you could help with that.
come over, i'll put you on it. got a place we can climb up to, get some good pictures.
someplace we probably shouldn't be.
it's an easy one, i'll help you.
it's an easy one, i'll help you.
what's the difference between you haunting me and you normally? aside from being dead.
Jesus Christ--!
[ It's not like he's never seen her do that before, but it doesn't make it any less startling when it's a surprise. Only lucky thing is that he wasn't actually in the middle of anything interesting or dangerous--he's just walking toward the little kitchen area of the apartment.
A moment after that point, though, he's giving her his usual lopsided smile. ]
So that, uh, that's you as a ghost, huh.

[ She even thought to wear appropriate footwear for the adventure? See, she's perfect. Sam gives them a serious look, like he's really thinking it over, then flashes her a grin. ]
Yeah, they'll be okay. How're you with heights? Real ones, not dream ones.
[ He's already heading out the door, c'mon Kyna. ]
