-76- **Long note at the bottom of chapter discussing how I'm doing now. If you saw my post on my message board, you know what I'm talking about. Sorry for disrupting, I'll let you get to it. Feel free to skip note** 

I look around the CR and smile.

Everyone is full of happiness these days. Walter is happy not being here at the CR right now, which is because he is still dealing with his issues about being here. Also, he's looking for an actual job. Hiiro doesn't think he should work here at all. Rude, right?

"Sigh..." Oh, there's Parad doing a fake sigh for attention and to break my thoughts up. How nice.

I look over at Parad. "What is it, Bugster?" 

"What is it, Elkie?" he responds, stealing my question. "Whatever. I just want to complain to you about my issues in my personal life. Do you care to hear about it? Of course you don't care to hear about it. You're my best friend for life."

"And we slept together. So, yeah, I have to hear about all of your woes." I roll my eyes. "Is it about that woman, Sakura the Gamer?" 

"Can you two not talk about your sexual escapades?" Kuroto asks, entering the CR. "I don't want to hear about it at all. It isn't my business to know about that kind of thing in the first place. Who sleeps with a Bugster in the first place?"

"Kuroto, that's racist," I state. "Seriously, you have some racist issues going on inside that head of yours."

"It is just called being completely honest because no one wants to bang a living virus." Kuroto is just pissed Parad murdered him in cold blood ages ago. "Also, it is called disliking that virus for killing me."

"My hand slipped," Parad says and I look at him, glaring. "What? It sort of did."

"By that, Parad means he is sorry for murdering you in cold blood. You know he didn't know the meaning of human life, right? He saw it as an oppurtunity to get his hands on the game you were making." Kamen Rider Chronicle. "As I see it, Kuroto..." I look back at the game making genius. "You two are equal."

"How so?" Kuroto asks, staring at me in confusion. "How am I even with that Bugster?"

"You made a game that took human lives away, which caused issues when the Bugster got his hands on it. So, you're responsible for the deaths that came from it. Also, you raised Parad a bit. You're the reason why he was a murderous evil Bugster." He taught him bad things only. "So, you have to take responsibility for his actions as well as your own."

"Yeah, what she said," Parad says, agreeing with me. "Anyways, I am truly sorry for murdering you. I can't apologize enough and I hope you do not tell the gaming girl all about it. Sakura will hate me if she finds out I murdered a ton of people."

"It really wasn't that many," I state. "And they're back now. It doesn't make it better, but they are back officially." It sort of negates what he did since they are alive, but they probably have to go through therapy now and have missed out on years of their life they cannot get back.

"And I'm sorry for killing all those people. I am," Parad states, probably frowning. "Is there anyway I can make up for it other than just volunteering here?" 

"Make Bugsters legalized citizens so you can get an actual job?" I suggest.

Kuroto laughs. "Him? A job? He'll be terrible at it."

"I got it! I can do e-sports, right? Gaming is a career these days, right?" Parad is really looking forward to living the good life. "I used Emu's body before as the Genius Gamer M. I can totally get a job that has to do with gaming."
