I thought it was obviously right there in the same sentence?

[dereban]

Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to apologize so many times about it! I already promised myself that I'm going to win you over, no matter what.

[masturbatestoyou]

Right...

[dereban]

Well, you should at least try to get over Iori already.

[masturbatestoyou]

I am getting over her! It's not an instant thing!

[dereban]

I know. I'm just selfish for wanting you so much, I suppose. Just as long as you don't do anything stupid, I'm sure everything will probably be fine.

[ That "probably" doesn't sound very confident to her, but thankfully this is text, so he can't see her acting so nervous under pressure. ]

[masturbatestoyou]

Stupid like what?

[dereban]

Sacrificing yourself for others, that's what. I'll hate it if something happened to you...

[masturbatestoyou]

I'll be careful?

[dereban]

You better promise me that, Taichi.

[masturbatestoyou]

I promise I'll be careful, Inaba.

[dereban]

Now I'm not sure if I should have asked you to swear on something or not, because now I'm worried that you'll contradict yourself and not be careful when it comes to certain things...

[masturbatestoyou]

What kind of things do you mean?

[dereban]

Saving people, for instance.

[masturbatestoyou]

You say that like it's a bad thing! And I'll be careful even if I do that!

[dereban]

You do know that it's possible that you died because of that, right? So I can't trust your words based on that alone.

[masturbatestoyou]

Well, even if I did, it's not like I can die again?

[dereban]

But it still hurts, stupid. I don't want to see you getting hurt.

[masturbatestoyou]

Neither do I, but still...

[dereban]

Stop being in denial, you gross masochist.

[masturbatestoyou]

Eh?

[dereban]

Your "but still" implies that you wouldn't mind getting hurt for others. It's not that difficult to figure out. After all, I already can see right through you inside and out.

[masturbatestoyou]

So I should let others get hurt in my place then?

[dereban]

I'm not saying that. What I'm trying to say is that you and whoever the hell you're helping shouldn't get hurt.

... No, that's wrong. It's not that neither of you shouldn't get hurt, since everyone eventually gets hurt eventually, but you shouldn't just push yourself to get hurt, you idiot! Don't you know that there's going to be people who are going to worry about you if you do that...?!

[masturbatestoyou]

I'm not gonna get hurt on purpose or anything!
