[...okay now he's even more curious. He knows Ishimaru isn't one of the survivors of the 78th class's killing game but the file hadn't elaborated on any of the murders themselves. But what he's reading right now sure as hell kind of makes it seem like Ishimaru was a culprit, not a victim. And, if that really is the case, he can honestly say that he did not see something like that coming.]
[Though...then again...maybe it's not what it sounds like. Maybe they're alike in more ways than just not being crazy about the idea of inter-class buddying up. Because Kuzuryuu knows better than anybody in his class how it's possible to be responsible for somebody's death without actually doing the deed with your own two hands.]
[Maybe that's what he means by "things I'm not proud of".]
Exactly. Everybody knows what's up, so the system works. Though...sometimes part of me wonders if maybe it isn't actually the best way to do shit. Especially during the times when I'm around people like you. People who don't come from that same background. Actually, I'm kind of surprised that you sort of understand. Not why we do it the way we do, but that that's how things work even if it's something you don't agree with. Most people don't. Which I can't really hold against them, since that's just how people are.
But you tell me if you ever meet someone who's truly lived a life without regrets. It's not possible, everyone's done shit they aren't proud of. At least you recognize that it's your own damn fault, fucked up rules or not.
It makes a little more sense when you put it that way, yeah. Or it's a little easier to agree with, I guess? I dunno, maybe I'm more of a cold-hearted bastard than I give myself credit for but...there are some people in my life that I can't bring myself to wish anything but misery on. It's hard to put that feeling aside and say something like "yeah this asshole deserves to have somebody care about them, despite the shit they've pulled."
