People asking me what I fear.

They why reply? Why not run and hide?

It's not that bad telling people "I don't know how to answer that".

So the answer is not difficult, yet you fear it.

But what is it that you truly fear?

You'll have to forgive me for not taking this as seriously as I could.

I mean, all I can say is that I fear all the blind dates I go on are going to keep failing every time.

I need do no such thing.

What, go on blind dates?

Forgive you for not taking the conversation seriously.

Ah.

It's that important to you? Finding out what people are afraid of?

It is important that people take me seriously. I have no time or patience for those who lack simple courtesy.

Is that it. Sorry, sorry. Just never really had a person ask me that before--you know, what I'm afraid of.

I can answer with 100% honesty as long as you promise not to tell anyone.

I promise I will not tell anyone. The topic is for general interest's sake and discussion.

I fear someone's going to kill the Prime Minister of Japan before I can.

There will always be a Prime Minister. Or do you mean the current man in question?

...Has he wronged you?

He has.

I try not to think about the incident because of how it swallows me up, but lately it pops up more often than not. That being said, if I'm not the one who kills him, it feels like I'll never get over it.

I'm so sorry. You must have suffered greatly to have such feelings towards him.
I assume there is no recourse with the Law?

Hilariously, I work for the police. But there's nothing to pin on him.

I just worry one day the memory of what he did is going to swallow me up and destroy me.

It will not be a memory. It will be your own guilt and self-hated for not having done what you wish to do.

Mm. I never thought of it that way.

All the hatred I feel for him will just transfer to me for being a fucking idiot.

Depends on what you're gonna say, are you secretly a super villainess who will use my answers against me in some crazy plan? Cause that sorta thing happens.

...but if not... well, probably not being as great a hero type as I'd like to be.

Do I look like a super villainess?

Hmm. What is a great her type that you'd like to be?

That is the usual result. Yes.

[He gives her a courteous glance up and down before replying.] Well no, but I've been wrong before. And there are shapeshifters where I come from, mutant or alien or whatever.

I guess like Iron Man or Captain America. You know, the A-Listers who know what they're doing.

Everyone has been 'wrong' before. Are you 'wrong' Often is the question.

I know the men you speak of. Do you wish you were more famous like them?

I guess all that's left to do is kill the guy.
