"I've been wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Do you think we'll be here forever? It's hard to imagine life like this for the rest of eternity."
"This is your way of telling me low-key that I'm annoying, aren't you?"
"No, I meant more like after everyone we knew dies, what will become of us? What will be our motivation to keep living, even though we're technically dead? Will we go our own ways to be with our families?"
"Um, probably not, because I'm living with you right now rather than my parents on my decision, and also since your father committed so many sins he probably won't get a big enough house to let you, Kiyama, and Hitomiko in."
"Point taken."
"But if your father did come, would you go to him and leave me? Pretend like none of this happened?"
"This?"
"You know, our conversations about one hundred and one ways to torture Kiyama, you showing me the way around here, me hiding in the bathtub while you go pee..."
"That last one was uncalled for. I still have nightmares about it."
"Hey I was worried about you that time. I know how it feels to lose a parent."
"Why do you care so much for me?"
"That's what friends are for, right?"
"Friends, huh?"
"Yeah, what did you think I was? A squirrel?"
"The moment's gone as soon as it was there..."
"I'm offended. I thought you as a friend, but turns out all I got was this guy who thought I was of the rodentia."
"No, no! I didn't meant that!"
"Heh, got you, didn't I? Your face was priceless. Blackmail and bragging rights for the next century or so."
"I hate you Atsuya."
"Thanks. Love ya too, Hiroto."
