[ He sighs out of relief. ]

Okay, good. I don't know if I'd be able to be in multiple places at once in the case you need help.

Is that what you were planning on doing? Trying to help?

... It's not like I can sit around and do nothing.

[ that is what is going to happen ]

...yeah, I can get that. Hopefully you don't actually end up with anything to do, though.

[what if nobody does anything and it's fine]

That's definitely the hope!

[ haha but this is a murdergame ]

Not feeling ambitious?

Nah. I'm pretty much never feeling that ambitious...

[he admits it so easily]

You admitted that so easily.

[ SAYS THAT ALOUD ]

I hear it a lot anyway, so...

[what's the point in pretending?]

... What people say or think doesn't dictate what you feel or who you are, y'know.

[ He isn't sure what the deal is, but might as well put that out.,/small> ]

They're not wrong, though. I don't really do much.

Doesn't running the floor of art take effort...?

[ or... ]

It's supposed to...

[he's just

a huge slacker]

... Well, it's good live life comfortably.

[ this is the afterlife. ]

It's just that it's work I don't want to do.

[do you ever hate your job]

You hate your job?

[ HELP ]

It doesn't suit me at all... I got called back for it just when I thought it was over with.

What do you even do? If you don't mind my asking.

Right now? I'm a librarian.

[this explains nothing.]

For... The art floor? So artbooks?

[ REALLY EXPLAINS NOTHING ]

Books about the art of the City, yeah. It's my job to study and sort the ones we collect.

I like reading, but I can't say I like sorting stuff—especially if it's a lot of stuff. A whole city's worth of books is a lot.

[ Vash maybe just thinks he isn't suited for employment. ]

Yeah... it's always more work than it sounds like, and we're always bringing in more.

[having to do things... ugh.]

What would you do if you didn't have work, though?

[ WHAT GIVES YOU PURPOSE. ]

I don't really have another option.

[normal stuff.]

There had to be other things! The future is blank. Or was.

[ dead. ]
