[It's early in the month, and that means Sanguis time. Kamui apparently doesn't care. His adorably fuzzy red panda ears and dark claws are on full display.]

A coliseum is a place where all the strongest fighters compete.

[Kamui explains to his audience with an air of importance, as if he didn't just learn this himself.]

I heard that Lunatia has a fight club. Or it did, once.

[A rather pointy smile begins to spread across his lips as he pauses for effect.]

Tell me where Lunatia's coliseum is, and I'll meet all of you there.

because he's afraid to die.

[terribletwos]

isn't that normal/ nobody wants to die.

[foeyay]

thus no one who kills has the right to fear his own death.

[terribletwos]

i guess that makes sense. but i don't think it's something people can really stop doing either. it's kind of instinct.

[foeyay]

[Instinct. That's a loaded word for any Yato. Pure Yato instinct has nothing to do with survival or preservation. It is the thrill of unadulterated violence.

There's a reason the Yato Clan is nearly extinct.]

i suppose it's related to the desire to protect then. those types sure do seem attached to life.

[Even he... Even he had had a taste of it himself, before arriving here. Sure, he'd come across plenty of people who insisted they fought to protect others. But he himself hadn't had anything to protect for a very, very long time.

Then when he'd finally rediscovered it... He'd yet again left it behind.]

but they'll never be able to keep everything if they can't risk everything too.

[terribletwos]

[ Poor Yatos... ]

those types/

you can take risks even if you're afraid of dying. people do all the time. especially for their friends. wouldn't the desire to protect make you more likely to take risks/

[foeyay]

if you're trying to say it makes you stupider, then you're definitely right.

[terribletwos]

i didn't say it makes you stupider. taking risks isn't always stupid. sometimes it's just something you have to do since it would be worse not to.

[foeyay]

[Roxas is right. Sometimes it really is just something you feel you have to do because the risk is worth it, because your only other option is to lose something you can't stand to lose. But see... That's the definition of stupidity for Kamui. Even when he himself is the one being stabbed in the chest because he has to protect his family.]

the more things you have to protect, the more risks you have to take. that's pretty stupid, you know? it takes a real idiot to protect an entire club of people from me despite being afraid to die.

[terribletwos]

it's worth it if it's your friends.

he doesn't sound that much different than the moon knights. they have to protect the entire city

[foeyay]

they also make great cannon fodder!

[terribletwos]

they're protecting everyone who can't protect themselves.
