I suppose I'll never graduate.

[love_and_peace]

[ Oh this little shit. ]

It sounds like you're making yourself right at home here, so I suppose you never will!

[droppedstitch]

Now, now. That isn't becoming of a warden. We are all redeemable after all!

[love_and_peace]

Only if you want to be! Do you want to go back home?

[droppedstitch]

That depends.

[love_and_peace]

Depends on what?

[droppedstitch]

Many things.

I chose to die for revolution.

[love_and_peace]

[ There's an immediate shift in Vash's tone, from annoyed to very, very quiet. ]

Wasn't there any other way to get what you wanted?

[droppedstitch]

It wasn't what I wanted. It was my duty to the hexarch.

I wanted to do my duty.

[love_and_peace]

[ Slightly angrier: ]

Wasn't there any other way to get what the hexarch wanted? Killing somebody should never be the answer!

[droppedstitch]

[He chuckles.]

Don't be too hard on him. He tried to talk me out of it.

There wasn't a better way.

[love_and_peace]

There is always a better way. Maybe that's why you're here.

[droppedstitch]

Here among the murderers and schemers?

[love_and_peace]

Didn't you just tell me you schemed to commit a murder?

[droppedstitch]

Now you've lost me.

[love_and_peace]

Killing yourself is still committing a murder. And you can't say you did it for your hexarch if he told you not to do it!

[droppedstitch]

Oh he told me not to. Then agreed there was no other way.

Murder is more...nonconsensual, wouldn't you agree? Is it murder to kill a dying man who begs for it?

[love_and_peace]

Taking a life is always murder, whether they beg you to kill them or not.

[droppedstitch]

So I - murdered myself? And that's why I am an inmate.

You need to watch fewer dramas. Or more, I can't decide.

[love_and_peace]

You can laugh all you like, but there's a reason you're here, and there's a reason you and I were assigned to work together. When you decide to take this seriously, you know where to find me.

[droppedstitch]

And when you remember that you're a temporary warden with no actual power, and you want to enjoy yourself again, your warden item knows where I am at all times.

[love_and_peace]

Who said anything about power? Why does everyone think that wardens just want to have power over the rest of you? I'm here to help you! To be a good example!

[droppedstitch]

By calling me a scheming murderer?

Come now...

You won't even ask for eyeshadow for me.

[love_and_peace]

Then why do you think you're here? What did you do that you're supposed to be repenting for, if not killing yourself?

[droppedstitch]

Find me a single warden who wouldn't have done the same thing in the same circumstances.

Who isn't you.
