akai helps rin to wrap his arm " are you ok?"
rin: why do you stay?
akai: why did you come back?
rin: I have nowhere to go. I have no money at all.
akai: Same reason.
rin: you have nowhere to go?
akai nods " um. Miss always said that I got most out of the deal."
rin: what deal did you make?
akai: to kill my teacher. He trained me to be a assassin. He abandoned me. I love him. But since I couldn't get him, might as well kill him. No worries, he wasn't a nice guy either.
rin: oh...
akai: you're scared of me.
rin: not... really...
akai: I have nowhere else to go anyway. So I traded myself for that deal. Miss always said I got more out of that deal. Said I am a boring person.
rin: what's interesting to her?
akai: unpredictable people. Just like what you just did.
rin: wasn't that predictable?
akai: usually, people would run for their lives. Actually... I don't really understand either. You could ask her.
rin: ask her huh....

rin: zelda.
zelda: it's miss for you.
rin: what deal did my parents make? Why did you agree?
zelda: I see you're not dumb. Usually that would take a few days for people to think about that question.
rin: could you just answer me?
zelda: they wanted money to fund their small company. Wasn't a lot of money for me. They offered everything in exchange but I didn't agree. And then... they lastly... offered you. What they considered most precious.
rin: if I was most precious, then why trade me? That doesn't make sense.
zelda: I asked for their most precious possession. They offered me you.
rin: but I wasn't more precious than that company.
zelda: I told you what you needed to know. I don't lie about deals.
rin: what exactly do you do?
zelda: see through people. Break their spirits. Get what I want or what my client wants. Trade only on my terms. The things I do when I'm bored, so much time to spare... tick tick tock tock...
rin: what was the price for the bully?
zelda: money.
rin: so you're not really any different.
zelda: if that's your perception.
