[This time around, all Tsuzuki recorded was his slurred voice.]

What do you mix -- get if you mix vodka, liquor and raspberry juice?

[A long pause. There''s a clink of the glass. Consider how full of suck the world has been lately, it's a great day for drinking.]

Tatsumi's gone. His things were gone when I checked. There's not a lot of people left now.

So it's time to drink to them.

You ARE angry. --Waitasec.

[He wobbles and kneels down on the ground. Tying his shoes while drunk, what fun. At least it's better than tripping on them.]

[ ...

and so Hisoka pauses to wait, chewing on the inside of his mouth.]

[Action]

[idealism]

[He'll have to wait a while. Seeing double doesn't help him tying the laces, exactly.]

Is it cuz I went out t'night?

[Action]

[cynicism]

I already told you I'm not mad, Tsuzuki.

[Action]

[idealism]

'cause if it bothers you that much...

[Shoelaces aren't supposed to be this difficult. He frowns, working harder. It's only on the third try he gets it right.]

....Er. Can you help me up?

[Action]

[cynicism]

. . .

[He drags Tsuzuki up by the shoulder.]

[Action]

[idealism]

[Once he's on his feet, he drags Hisoka into a brief hug.]

[Action]

[cynicism]

Yeah, whatever.

[Action]

[idealism]

[Action]

[idealism]

[cynicism]

[Action]

[idealism]

[He smiles weakly, a little comforted.] I knew you'd understan'.

[Action]

[cynicism]

Yeah. ...Stop worrying so much, okay?

[Action]

[idealism]

[He blinks sleepily, too tired to play oblivious. He tries anyway.] Who saz I'm worring?

[Action]

[cynicism]

I say you are. So don't do it.

[Action]

[idealism]

[Action]

[cynicism]

Then what, Tsuzuki?

[Action]

[idealism]

[He sighs deeply.]

[Action]

[cynicism]

My feelings are fine, Tsuzuki.

[Action]

[idealism]

[cynicism]

[Action]

[cynicism]

That doesn't even make sense.

[Action]

[idealism]
