I've heard it. I haven't had that problem too much myself. We...mostly seem to agree on things, that girl and I? Although we took different paths in life.

[compendiem]

What's alternate universe Kirigiri like? A punk rocker?

[evidentiary]

A detective, actually. [ PUNK ROCKER KIRIGIRI...heaven help everyone ]

[compendiem]

[ He took "different paths" to mean severely different paths, okay. But he would have supported Kyouko in any of her punk rocker dreams. ]

So... from uncovering mysteries of the human body, to that of the world.

[evidentiary]

Yes. She was...very well trained for it, I think...?

[compendiem]

How lucky we are to have you, then. Having so many mysteries here that need solving.

[evidentiary]

...Well, I'll do my best, at any rate. What do you know of your own past?

[compendiem]

Hmm... Alternate universe Arisato is a student. Either a bowman or a swordsman, or both. And his special talent is pissing people off.

[evidentiary]

...Is that a special talent?

[compendiem]

He was very good at it. Made a girl almost cry after just three sentences.

[ But tbh that girl was sort of unstable and Minato thinks he could have accomplished that in two. ]

[evidentiary]

...Is that a talent or just a lack of tact?

[ people who can't talk: kirigiri kyouko ]

[compendiem]

[ Yeah, that's an impressive lack of tact yourself, Kyouko. But that's something Minato appreciates, being direct and to the point and leaving no question that he just sucks at talking to people no matter what run through life he's on. ]

Both, maybe. I can feel the kinship between us.

[evidentiary]

I'd say not to put me with you, but so far you've proven reasonable company...

[ is that a compliment ]

[compendiem]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[ Instead of "oh my god, don't lump me together with you" ]

[evidentiary]

It wasn't meant to be an insult, anyway.

[ but it wasn't meant to be a compliment either... ]
