It's appreciated.

. . . ah, a long range sort of weapon. [looks thoughtful, rubbing at his chin]

Makes things a bit complicated.

Those are the things you will have to overcome.

It isn't as interesting if it were easy.

[nods] And the good news?

His weaknesses. He cannot maintain the energy he has that animates him very well. Meaning, if you strike him enough and keep him busy long enough, he will stop functioning and will be vulnerable.

Beyond this--heights. He's not fond of them. Direct blows also will weaken him, even if he is able to regenerate. As I said before, hit him enough, and he will run low on energy.

[so, soccerball will come in handy, got it]

I see . . .

I believe that's it for the most part.

[quietly while he mulls that over, then nods]

Thank you, Pecha-san.

--ah. In addition... I think I heard a rumor that he's been... a bit more unstable here. My source mentioned that they had thought that he would actually behave himself. But last night was especially...

. . . mm. Well, all the more reason for us to do something.

I'll leave that to you.

Now, for the rest of my payment...

Mm, I haven't forgotten.

[gestures for Shinichi to continue]

[tkes a moment to think]

. . . it's a bit hard to think of this sort of thing.

I can wait.

. . . knowing what I'm afraid of is my greatest weakness, I guess. Being pursued again. Having to give up my identity again. People being hurt because of me.

Those are very general... though the second would at least make sense, considering your history and Sabra La Tau.

Yes, well . . .

The earth. The dark. Both of those scare the hell out of me.

Again, expected because of Sabra La Tau.

Something specific to you, Kudo-kun.

With all due respect, Pecha-san, before Sabra La Tau, ignoring my situation, I really was just a normal kid.

[mental SIGH]

What I mean to say is... you say "being pursued again"--specifically, is it the being chased part or the likely to be killed part that would frighten you most? "People being hurt because of me"--specifically, is it more guilt or are there particular people you would literally throw yourself into the fire for?

You can choose to answer one or the other. Having a general idea of things can be considered partial payment, but for the specifics I've given, I expect something specific from you. Don't try to generalize in order to lessen the burden for yourself.

. . .

[I'll give YOU mental sigh]

Being killed frightens me. And there are people I would throw myself into the fire for, of course. "Guilt" is something I'm not very capable of anymore.

Don't sell yourself short. If you didn't feel "guilt", then you wouldn't try to hedge the specifics. Such as names.

Though I can probably get those just by watching your interaction with people. I'll consider your debt paid with this.

I didn't say I can't feel it, I said I'm not very capable of it. It doesn't mean I don't have my moments.

[snort] You most likely could, but the most important one isn't here.

Well, there, you see? Nothing to worry about then, by giving me this information.

[starts to head out]

. . . yes, of course.

Thank you again for the information.
