He flicked through his book, before closing it and setting it down. He got up, flicking a speck of dust off of his jacket.

"You're not the only one with family issues, Iteral. There are some here who have lived through worse than you."

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

"Shut it, by that logic, none of us are allowed to feel anything because there will be someone worse." Iteral rolls her eye, winding up the clock some more, exchanging looks with Kendo. "Besides, you refused my offer to bring her back, so you can't declare yours "worse"."

"I actually can. Plus, I'm not saying that you're not allowed to feel anything. You're human, and humans are allowed to feel. But the way you act is the bit I'm annoyed with."

He started walking towards her.

"Instead of trying to improve or train, you waste your time sulking, complaining, like a goddamned brat."

He dropped his mug through a portal.

"And, who said you could bring up my family, hm? I don't think I ever remember telling you that you're allowed to talk about my past."

He said this all evenly, quite calmly.

"What happened in the past happened. it's not meant to be altered."

"Well, I try improving but every improvement I did, you ended up hating me more for it. So sorry for trying to hold back and watch as you all get to be the happy family, while I'm outside, looking through the window."

Iteral groans, looking at Kendo with both eyes now. "Time is something you have no say over. I can talk about it as much as you. And I can get her back without altering the past. You're just stubborn."

"What improvements have you made, hm? Have you tried, really, really tried, to overcome your flaws?"

He poked her in the chest. He looked annoyed.

"You know what the difference is, between you and me? I'm not controlled by my feelings like you are."

"At least I have emotions. I don't mask them behind fourth wall breaks and casual tomfoolery." Iteral retorts, slapping his hand away. "I'm trying but when you constantly get knocked back like I do, you start to lose hope."

"You think I don't know that?"

His grin was replaced with a scowl.

"When you get knocked back, you get up and punch them in the jaw. That's the only way to get through life, kid. You don't need hope, all you need is effort."

He tugged at the collar of his shirt.

"If you feel like you aren't useful enough, make yourself useful. Don't whine about it."

"Then tell me how." Iteral glares claymores again. "How can I be useful, if you refuse every single thing I do? Want me to leave?"

"When have I refused 'every single thing you do', hm? On the contrary, I've tried to help you on numerous occasions. It's just that you never listen. Instead of lashing out at others, why not fix that hard head of yours?"

He smacked her on the head.

"You have to figure out how to be useful on your own. If you feel like you need to leave, leave. If you want to kill yourself, go right ahead. Be my guest."

he glared right back at her.

"But, you need to earn the right to complain."

Iteral wanted to argue at first but then... she just made herself smaller, cowering a little. "... I just don't want things to be like they were... with me arguing with myself... the constant voices... Mona fearing me... back then, I could rely on you, Matsunaga and Yumine, now..." She looks down at Caspian. "You're even closer than I ever was, Yumine is strangely silent and Matsunaga hates me completely. And I don't know why."

"You know what you do when there are voices? You ignore them. You tell them to #$%@ off. Remember, we cannot (and should not) change the past, but we can change the future."

Kendo turned away, sipping from his cup.

"A true scientist should always challenge the limits of the world, and themselves."

"Well, I'm discovering the limit of my sanity over and over despite not even being a scientist." Iteral taps on her clock, seeing if it still worked despite her new brand of stitching. It did, though she still pulled a face. "... I can't. The voices... when I ignore them, they might get physical." The time slayer sighs, groaning a bit in despair. "I just can't, no matter what I do, everything stays. The voices, the hatred... you say the past cannot be changed, well why do you think I try to change it? The past follows... and not the good moments either."

"Do you know why Matsunaga is acting like that, Iteral?"

He tilted his head slightly.

"If I did, would I have been a bother so much that she kicked my nose in the back of my head?" Iteral groans, turning away from Kendo. "I know it's not her mortality, else she'd take my offer."

"She's jealous of your ability to change the past."

He hummed lightly. He pulled a knife out of a portal, and examined it.

Iteral wanted to laugh, though she only did briefly before looking sad again. "Jealous... oh, I get you, you're trying to make me laugh... good one... good one..." She mutters, looking at her clocks again. She did not believe Kendo one bit.

"I have much better material if I wanted to make you laugh."

He looked her dead in the eyes.

"It's hard, for normal people, to know they cannot change the past."

She looks back, narrowing her eyes. "... and if you have an ally that can, would you not be able to ask? I am not sure if your jealousy thing holds up..."

"Then assume that... what about you? You can change the past, you choose not to. How come she is not jealous of you either?" Iteral shakes her head, holding her sword up. "I... think the honor thing might be right... I have memories I hadn't before, I wonder if she does get them too..."
