robopriest | KANO CATCH-ALL I'M SAD

Meet me in the pit tomorrow and let's go.

[He smirks.]

I'm not going to call your bluff, Kano. And I might do terrible things, in what I do...but killing innocents isn't one of them.

You're saying that as if I'm innocent. Maybe I was in this instance, but how can you judge the rest of my existence?

[ angry teen voice: you don't know me!! ]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm not judging anything. You might be a serial killer, for all I know. What do I care? For this act, for this moment, you're certified innocent. Are you going to tell me that isn't the case?

So you let me walk free today only to continue a life of crime tomorrow. That's how the justice system works, huh?

[ That's just how it is, though. The only one to judge you as a whole, for deeds done throughout your life, is God himself, and Kano finds himself caring more about people's judgement than God's. ]

Hahaha. Do you think I'm part of that kind of justice system, Kano? I merely act out the will of the Lord.

[Does he, though...?]

Besides, what sorts of crime do you even want to commit?

[ Will of the Lord................. ]

Want to, or have to?

Give me both.

Petty theft and murder.

What, that's it? Not even jaywalking?

No way! I'm a traffic director, remember? Gotta abide by traffic laws.

So thievery and murder are on the table, but you'll draw the line at running stoplights.

Yes, exactly. We all have our limits.

So, tell me. Who do you need to murder?

Dad.

...

Your high school teacher god serial killer father.

Yeah, exactly! See what sorta predicament I'm in right now? I should probably, like, pass the mantle, but it's also something I feel like I gotta do myself?

You could always do the teenage movie thing and become a rebel that runs away from home, thwarting the authorities and living your own free life.

Been there, done that. Sorta. I took my siblings with me and we ran! Sorta. Dad pays our rent.

[ THEY RAN AWAY FROM HOME BUT DAD PAYS RENT............. I don't know what they were trying to accomplish, don't ask me ]

...That's not really a rebel move if your dad is still paying for stuff for you. Just saying.

Hey, money is real hard to come by, you know? My little brother's got to, like, work ten jobs just to keep us all fed.

How old is your brother?

Sixteen, which is totally legal and he absolutely did not start working when he was even younger and people just believed he was old enough 'cause he's tall and strong and super mature!

[ His baby brother is the breadwinner of the family, do not doxx him to the authorities, sir ]

So your younger brother is way more responsible than you? Must make you look bad.

No... Literally everybody is way more responsible than me.

[ It's a fact. He does not feel bad about this at all. ]

I got a super cute and hardworking little brother and little sister. Really, they're the cutest! So, no matter what, I'm gonna make sure they're okay, even when I'm not there anymore.
