No matter where you go, it's always the same; people think they're invulnerable. They believe that no matter what happens, they'll stay in their safe little shell. They judge and threaten people from the shadows and don't fear retribution. It's because deep down, they wait for the strike, expecting it, and...

There's a moment where they let their guard down. That's when the pieces will move in for the checkmate.

The question is, how do you know if you're the one who's going to get closed in on? Or are you the one moving the pieces?

Only time will tell, won't it?

[geass]

In certain circumstances, they can be. But I doubt we're going to get anywhere arguing about analogies.

[messianic]

It seemed to me like the purpose of this text was to rile people up and get them to argue.

I just thought arguing about analogies would be more interesting.

[geass]

No, it wasn't meant to cause arguments; just discussion.

Everyone has their own interpretations of things, don't they?

[messianic]

My apologies, then. I was wondering mostly why it's anonymous, I guess.

Of course everyone does. It's always good to get more opinions of things, don't you think?

[geass]

I didn't believe that a name had to be attached to this conversation, is all.

In some instances, it may be beneficial.

[messianic]

Why is that? I'm sorry, I'm just curious.

[geass]

For one, people can speak to each other without the distraction of a name or a face attached to it.

[He loves anonymity, Minato.]

[messianic]

But doesn't that take away from getting to know the person as well?

[he doesn't :V]

[geass]

Maybe the person doesn't want to be known. That could be another reason to speak anonymously, correct?

[messianic]

Why don't you want to be known, anonymous-san?

[geass]

Simply put; I prefer it that way in this case.

[messianic]

[he likes that you didn't deny it, anonymous-san.]

But that isn't a reason at all.

Why do you prefer it this way this time?

[geass]

[So nosy...]

I've stated my reasons. Whether you really accept them or not is your decision.

[messianic]

[it's what he does.]

It isn't difficult to pull people out of their shell.

[geass]

It depends on if they truly want to come out of their shell or not.

[messianic]

Of course it does. People always decide for themselves in the end.

But they can be nudged into doing so with the right motivation. So that they can live to the fullest.

[geass]

Perhaps, but there are other people who can't be "nudged" so easily. Even without being prompted by others, they can live life to the fullest.

Whether the world will agree with their actions or not is what remains to be seen.

[messianic]

There are a lot of people who live life to the fullest every day, you're right.

It's always nice to meet someone who lives their best, no matter what others think.

It's my pleasure, anonymous-san.

[geass]

[This kid...]

It's been quite an interesting conversation, if I may say so myself.

I hope you'll watch the game as it begins to go forward.

[messianic]

It's not a game.

But I'll never stop watching people living their lives. Thank you for your time.

[he'll leave you alone now, Lelouch. really.]
