Y-Yeah, I guess, but I could...I could do better...

[ercnerd]

That goes for everyone.

But you and I are different. You said so yourself, didn't you? I'm an extrovert.

[duranduel]

Yeah. So is Wang Lu...kinda surprised we're actually compatible...

[ercnerd]

Didn't you know? There's a saying that opposites attract.

[duranduel]

Not super opposites right? Because, I mean, like...y-you and Lucretia! You aren't opposites!

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart beats his chest as he begins to choke on the last of his hamburger. Thankfully, the choking doesn't last long.

Huh!?]

[duranduel]

You...


[DID I MESS THIS UP I THOUGHT I SAW THEM KISSING]


Are you...not....together..........?

[ercnerd]

Who said we're together? Lucretia . . . just went and did that on her own!

[He certainly did not kiss back.]

[duranduel]

...

[A bit disappointed?]

Oh.....

[ercnerd]

. . . Why do you look so disappointed?

[duranduel]

No reason...

[How do I have a boyfriend and Sieghart doesn't have someone? Am I living in an upside down world right now?]

[ercnerd]

Hey . . .

I used to be married, you know.

[duranduel]

Okay, but you just said "used to"? So what's...stopping you and Lucretia....

[ercnerd]

[Inwardly, he closes his eyes.]

I didn't come to this dimension to court.

[duranduel]

Does it look like I was summoned to date people? Sometimes things happen?

[ercnerd]

. . . Well, the thing you thought happened, didn't happen.

[duranduel]

Aw...

[And then he reaches out to pat his shoulder.]

Either way, you deserve someone who loves you, I think.

[ercnerd]

What . . . ?

[duranduel]

[........................]

You're........a really cool guy.........? Why are you....so confused.......

[ercnerd]

. . . You think I'm cool?

[duranduel]

Should I...not?

[ercnerd]

Of course you should. Why wouldn't you? After all, I'm a legend!

[duranduel]

...So there's a lot more that you like about yourself than your swordsmanship?

[HE HEARD THAT THOUGHT BEFORE]

[ercnerd]

[Ah.]

That was a while ago. Why are you bringing it up now?

[duranduel]

...

[He sort of just. Huffs.]

When I arrived here, I looked up to so many people. I still do. But to me, it was like everyone was on a different shelf. Like I was looking up at these powerful extroverts and charmers and amazing people and whatnot, and they had everything sorted out. And here was I, worrying over the smallest things. Hating myself for the smallest things.

[A shake of the head.]

I think I just realized that...maybe people above me, as cool as they are...they're not so different, after all.
