...You're here, listening to me. That's more than enough.
[that age-old guilt is still there, but... he doesn't feel guilty that Wicked has to hear this. maybe it's because it's actually his choice this time, and not a memory forced out of him.]
I was a kid, yeah, but... she spent her entire life protecting me. ...She had a power. The power of illusions. She'd use that to give dreams to people -- that's how we made money too. When she got sick, she gave that power to me. She looked after me, even at the end.
I used that to survive. To give nice dreams to people... A lot of people wanted to live in their dreams forever. [his voice is quieter here] When Marie-chan mentioned the virtual world... It reminded me of that.
Handing it off to you… it probably meant that she wanted you to give her a nice dream, right? [ She pauses, flinching. ] Sorry. I dunno. [ That probably makes it sound worse that he left AAAAAAAAH. ]
Living in your dreams isn’t always the best though. I… I can’t face reality, but I know Marie can. But that’s somethin’ else entirely.
[ FUCK Redo me and all my homies hate Bluffman. ]
I’m sure your sister is still lookin’ out for you. Somewhere. And she’s healthy, just waiting for the day you guys reunite — and then she can show you where her soul has gone to rest easy.

...I'm like that too, I think. I lived in my dreams for so long. When I got here... I couldn't use my power, so I couldn't hide either. It took a while to adjust.
[the way he just wanted to peep into everyone's dreams and figure out how to deal with them without actually getting close to anyone, wow.]
I think Kazuha would be proud too. That I learned not to rely on dreams so much. She'd always been good at that.
