[He steps back, bringing his hands up to cover his chest-- and his invisible Distorted soul.]
I'd be hurt if you weren't. It's not like I want for everyone to hate me enough to... [His voice trails off.] But it's only gotten worse. I don't want this 'Rumor' or 'Distortion' or whatever to beat me. If it comes back to it, I want to help as many people as possible with this power, so...
So you want to become the villain? I totally get it.
[ It's not as if she hasn't done it personally before, or even made the attempt herself. ]
When you're trying to play a role, what helps is pulling from personal experience and emotions. Hatred, anger, revenge, hurt, jealousy are common ones.
... Yeah. [His voice softens. Yuuto doesn't like thinking about a bleak future. He'd rather struggle and help everyone, but;] If it has to happen, I don't want for it to be sad.
[He considers her advice, looking slightly stressed.]
I've never really thought hard about those feelings before. They are rarely productive for something like me... But I could try.
[Despite the dark conversation, Yuuto finds a somewhat twisted reason to smile.]
Things are going to work out and this program will be for nothing... and when that happens and I get to stay in this world, maybe I can learn to feel those things. Before, they just got in the way of being 'Yuuto.'
But when everything settles down and I can live here forever, I'll just be 'me!' Can you teach me to be angry sometime, Inaba? Or any of the others? I wonder what I'd be like if I got super angry?
[Yuuto is quite focused on the ambience at first. His instinct is to draw a mental map of what kind of space he's hearing, but he quickly gives up on that when he hears her voice.
[ Inaba's idea on "how to make Yuuto angry" is not a good idea. She has to internally steel herself for this. She keeps her voice even as she continues to speak. ]
'Inaba'...? Oh, right. That's the name of this vessel, isn't it?

I’d appreciate the help. If I can’t stop this from happening, at least I don’t want to be used in the end…

Are you going to try to make me angry? Please come at me! I will do my best!

[Which he does! And for someone who is supposed to get angry, he looks way too happy.]
I’m ready to be angry!

[ Her voice is dry. ]
Anyway, close your eyes.

[Inaba never lies to him—-
Wait no. Yeah. Yeah, she’s a liar sometimes.
He nods and closes his eyes.]
Mm. Okay. My eyes are closed.

[ She rubs her hands together and then starts up music. It's ambient sounds, meant to be calming and to keep him focused on the sound itself.
Inaba keeps herself behind him, keeping herself as quiet as she possibly can.
She can't help but wonder how she can make him mad... well, this is probably fine-- ]
Can you hear me?
[ Inaba changes the cadence to her voice, dropping emotions from every syllable that she speaks. ]

He nods.]
Mm. I can hear you, Inaba. Is everything okay?
