ashlyn... kanda's only friend

she's so cute (pleading)

Would you like me as much if I didn't?

[he asks.... as if ashlyn likes him a lot right now....]

You're pretty annoying right now, so.

[ JUST SAYS IT... but after a pause adds: ]

Also... who cares what people think of you?

[he laughs at that, a short genuine burst of cheer which should be out of place considering DEATH and MURDER.... though he calms down at her question, looking thoughtful]

It's a little complicated, but... basically, I have to be someone who can get along with anyone. But not to the point where they'll miss me or think about me much when I'm gone.

I've been like this since I was six, so it's just become a habit now.

Wouldn't most people miss someone who's friendly more than someone who's not?

[ this ignores that he said he needs to get along with people first but whatever. ]

[thinks about this]

You'd think so, but... from my experience, they don't miss me very much. They might wonder what happened to me, but it doesn't take long to forget about me.
