**Shaking his head, Raiden gave chase to the skunk.**
You're proving me right. I accepted what I'm to do years ago... Don't act like me... not caring if you live or die... Find your cause to live for, and live for it... Meet a girl... Or a guy if you are like that, and get to know them better... Zahi saved my life, I owe her more than you think... She's the one who braught me back from the madness that consumed me...

"I think I have to start liking myself before I can like anyone else," Dengoro replied flatly, not even bothering to turn around. He stood stock still in the middle of the alley. "I don't find myself wanting to live, for a couple reasons. One, I don't have anything keeping me here, two, if I did, I wouldn't consider myself deserving of them. All I've done is spend my father's money and mess around with a sword."

Sword's a decent weapon... You've got something you are good at... Try to better yourself... If you let me help you, you can find a reason to live.

"Did you hear the second reason there? I don't deserve a reason to live! I'm nothing!" If he had a weapon, Dengoro would be using it on himself right then. Unfortunately, in his mind, all of his weapons were in his room.

I heard you... But you're not listening to yourself.

"Am I? I figure I have some idea of the words coming out of my mouth. If not, that's yet another item for my list of bad things about me." Finally, Dengoro turned around, but he kept his eyes locked onto the ground. He couldn't make himself look up.

You're talking... Just not paying attention... Now look at me.

Dengoro looked up at Raiden with eyes full of pain and hate. Why they were there, he had only some idea of. "Is there anything else you'd like to patronize me with, then? Why are you even hanging around?"

I'm not here to patronize you. I'm thirty-eight years old Dengoro... I've been from the far North, to the Southen-most tip of the land... All my traveling has jaded me to the world... You're young... You've got your whole life ahead of you... Don't throw it away needlessly.

"I've got my whole life ahead of me, yeah. And so far I've been fervently planning to... What? Fight? Die? It's a bit late to refrain from throwing this heap away. I'm only any good at one thing now and that's combat. Dirty melee front-line combat. And I'm not the best at that either. I've got the remainder of my life cut out for me." Who cared if he was just 22? Dengoro didn't consider his life usable anymore.

"Yeah, I would. I originally wanted to be a construction worker but that didn't go anywhere. Actually, I was really considering it until I was around fifteen, then I realized that there was no way that would work out... What am I supposed to do now?"

Do as your heart tells you... Not as your head does. You say you've nothing to live for? That's your head... Not your heart. I ALWAYS follow my heart... For better or for ill...

"My heart died about a week ago, sorry." So had his father. Dengoro wished more and more that he could just leave.

No... You just turned from it... Find your cause and live for it.
