[Guess who's actually doing a network post on his own free will, for once? That's right. This kid. But ever since he'd come back from his kidnapping, he'd been feeling a little bit...off. It wasn't something he could really place, though. Not yet.

He needed a distraction. One that isn't trying to pick a physical fight with people because that never seemed to end well here. If he's already not feeling on the top of his game it's going to end even worse than usual.]

What's the point of friendships?

[There's a bit of a pause, before he tacks on:]

Don't give me that warm and fuzzy stuff, either. I don't want to hear it.

[Well, that was short and sweet enough. He's just. Going to end it here.]

[Well, Sync already lies to himself soooo...]

Isn't that what allies are for? No friendship needed.

I think it's similar, but friendship is a deeper form of trust. And not strictly business.

I'm not so willing to trust people that easily.

Friendship doesn't have to be something that happens quickly. People can have close friends, and not-so-close friends.

How do you know that your not-so-close friends are friends, then? How are they different than the people you meet on the street?

[Ah. He's so negative.]

For one, I think you'd talk to them more often.

[Basically, yeah.

Also point. But he's not going to mention that.]

So you're saying it's just how much trust you put into somebody. [Huff.] What if they just turn around and betray you?
