[ He takes a second to frown. Well, he is the one that said that Kira should live his life based on what is fun and what isn't fun -- if not playing is fun, then not playing it is. Mitsuhide still really enjoyed how that innocent boy made the violin scream such a beautiful sound. But it seems he will have to hold onto that precious memory as that is all that he will get. ]

I see, I see... it is as Kira says then.

[ There still may be a brief second when he sticks out his tongue at the idea but he giggles to himself after. ] That's right! I had that memory for quite some time! It was like it was my own memory. Even though they weren't my feelings, I felt all that you felt! I first thought that maybe I did something that I wasn't supposed to do, but it was nice to feel you feeling so happy! Infectious even! Like a horrible flesh-eating disease!

I loved it! [ He felt it important to clarify that he enjoyed it a lot. Before pausing and making a very soft "hm" sound. ] Still... I'm sorry that it cost you your life. But if the events that eventually lead to our demise must happen, let us hope that they are enjoyable ones! There are those whose missteps are not so enjoyable, Kira. Not so enjoyable at all...

[ A quiet moment that he fills with a sip of the coffee. He makes a happy sound over how nice it tastes, then immediately changes subject: ]

Shinobu? Did she die as pretty as Minako? What a nice name... what a nice name... what did you do with her, then? [ A spark of excitement to hear about this one's death. ]
