Weiß III

(Inspired by ep.22 of the WK anime)

"So, let's see if I've understood correctly, Yohji," Aya started very slowly and very low, as if to ascertain that he wasn't leaving a place to misunderstand, "you could have taken down both one member of Schwarz and one of Schreient but you didn't because..."

"They were kissing."

"...Because they were kissing."

Yohji didn't reply immediately. Some things were too obvious to explain.

"Well, yeah. I mean, they were kissing!"

"Yes, I'd say I've sort of gotten the concept. What I don't get is why you let them go."

"Hey, man, I don't have a problem with being a killer and going to Hell and all that stuff, but seriously, you can't expect me to go and kill some lovey-dovey teenagers in the middle of them making out..."

"So it's some kind of safe place for you. That is, if it had been Crawford and Schuldig you were facing and suddenly they started kissing you couldn't go and kill them, that's what you're saying..."

"What? No! I mean, Crawford and... what? Arrghhh!"

"Yohji, you should have killed them."

"What's the big deal! They ended up dead anyway!"

"No, they didn't."

"But we thought they did! And it's not my fault that nobody cared enough to check!"

"Are you trying to put the blame on me?"

"Well, I wasn't the one spouting poetry about how 'love makes you suffer' and all that..."

"You didn't exactly disagree."

"Because love makes you suffer! That's the reason I couldn't kill them!"

"So that they could angst later?"

"No, you damned dickhead! Because I've been there, too! And because they were fucking kissing!"

"Were they fucking or were they kissing? Make your damned mind, Yohji!"

"You're a fucking bastard, I hope you realize."

"And I hope you realize that you should have killed them."

"But they were kissing!"

"Don't look at me like that! They were kissing!"
