It's not you. It's that being a cupid is ridiculous.

[cupidsammo]

What? ... You think so?

[murderofwoes]

Making people fall in love? Of course it is.

[cupidsammo]

Well. Yes, but otherwise people won't ever feel love, so, erm... That's where we come in?

[murderofwoes]

If you were trying to cheer me up, stating that human love couldn't exist without outside influence truly was the way to go.

[cupidsammo]

... You sounded skeptical enough already, so...

[murderofwoes]

This hasn't made me less skeptical, but it has made it entirely more compelling.

[cupidsammo]

If it'll help, you can pretend I'm like any other person.

[murderofwoes]

I already am. General disdain is how I prefer to interact with anyone.

[cupidsammo]

Ahaha... Then I won't take it too personally. But hopefully you won't mind talking for at least a few minutes?

[murderofwoes]

If all you want is a few minutes, you've already wasted quite a few of them.

[cupidsammo]

—Wait, you started it!

[murderofwoes]

I'm sitting here a literal captive, how you choose to talk to me can't possibly be my fault.

[cupidsammo]

[ you DERAILED HER!!!!! but Koharu isn't one to argue, so she just exhales instead. ]

Then I'll get to the point... Mostly, I was just curious who you were and why you're here in our little corner of heaven.

[murderofwoes]

I was hired.

[ WOW THANKS ]

[cupidsammo]

[ wow... thanks ]

By... who?

[murderofwoes]

The entity? The influence? I've lost track.

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu wasn't expecting her to admit this so easily, if the surprised expression on her face is anything to go on. ]

And you agreed to it? So what have you been doing here this whole time...?

[murderofwoes]

I was working for them long before I came here.

[ she absolutely does not care to be sharing this ]

[cupidsammo]

[ honestly, good!! ]

Then why did you both come here...?

[murderofwoes]

They heard about the project and had opinions to share. I happen to be a very good employee.

[cupidsammo]

And that opinion means making everyone kill each other?!

[murderofwoes]

You realize you're already dead, correct?

[cupidsammo]

That doesn't change anything! You know what you're doing is still awful, don't you?

[murderofwoes]

If that's the word you want to use. Yes.
