[The intimidation would be slightly effective if not for that. When the ninja turns his head, Duke tilts his own, cuing the confusion.]

W-What? You are not Shado-

[That voice WAS different, now that he mentions it. And the wings...]

Who are you?!

[fuckinstoplights]

[And it's time to regain his composure. Sort of. He turns back around, straightening up.]

[No, it's definitely not Shadowmaru. And this one... knows him.]

BP-500X.

[There's an emphasis on that last letter. Like he's daring the stranger to ignore it.]

Kagerou.

[wingears]

BP-500X...

I've...never heard of you.

[His helm dips down in thought. No...he doesn't remember you in the Brave Police lineup. But he was new and adjusting...]

Of Japan's Brave Police?

[fuckinstoplights]

And now you have.

[Weird. Why is he asking about Japan's Brave Police...? Weren't there only one group of them?]

No.

[It comes out bitter and harsher than he means to.]

I'm only the prototype. I wasn't meant to be one of them. I was meant to be erased.

[wingears]

So you were apart of Highway Patrol.

[That had to be it--oh.]

Prototype? Erased? You're not making any sense.

[fuckinstoplights]

No.

... you know Shadowmaru. Don't you?

[He steps forward then, so he's less shadowed. And so the very similar design of his frame can be better seen.]

Do you see now?

[Prototype.]

[wingears]

[Duke's eyes can't help but widen. That was...that was Shadowmaru's body. Or...very similar at least. He notes the few differences, mainly in wings and colour.]

But why would they erase you? Wouldn't two stealth bots be useful to the Brave Police??

[fuckinstoplights]

[His expression doesn't change. It's calm, remote, hiding everything he possibly can. ... inside, he's panicking a little. What's going to happen to him now?]

Because the human beings in charge decided there was no more use for their rough draft.

Shadowmaru is perfect. They had no use for me.

[wingears]

...

[He had to admit, a week ago, if told this, he'd agree with them. Because that was how Regina felt in some ways. What wasn't perfect...wasn't perfect. But Deckerd had shown him different.

That sometimes...imperfections are what give you a heart.


He holds out a hand, gently. And that's it.]

[fuckinstoplights]

[That isn't the reaction he's expecting. He's not even sure if it is a reaction.]

[He doesn't accept the hand. Not yet. He just edges closer, curiosity getting the best of him.]

... Nothing to say?

[wingears]

I don't know you. What am I supposed to say?

I am Duke, of the Scotland Yard, and now of the Brave Police. Kagerou, I do not know what reason the humans had in trying to deactivate you, but I am not a human.

I have a heart, just like you.

[fuckinstoplights]

... Scotland... yard? What is that?

[The sudden confusion and curiosity is overriding his wariness. He inches closer.]

You believe I have a heart...? Even though you're one of them?

[wingears]

The Scotland yard are Europe's sector of BP units. I am one of them.

...

You are made from the same chip as Deckerd, right?

[fuckinstoplights]

There are... more BP teams? More than just those ...?

[Well, now he looks stunned. He had no idea.]

I.

I don't know.

[wingears]

The Scotland Yard exists in England. I was transferred from there to the Brave Police.

Lady...she felt I could do more for Japan.

[fuckinstoplights]

... England?

[That's right. He's so sheltered, he doesn't even know what England is.]

Lady? Who is...?

Nothing you're saying makes sense.

[wingears]

England. It is like Japan, but on the other side of the world. You don't know of it?

[There's a pause as his gaze casts down.]

She was in charge of the Scotland Yard. My...boss before Yuuta.

[fuckinstoplights]

No. I only know of... Japan. Nothing outside it.

[It's the truth. No reason to hide it now.]

Your boss. Yuuta.

Human beings?

[wingears]

There is a whole world. Japan is only a small part of it.

[At the question he nods, no doubt.]

Yes.

[fuckinstoplights]

... A whole world. I thought Japan was the whole world.

[How sad is that?]

And you call them your "boss?"

[wingears]

It is actually quite small. Compared to some other places...

[His next answer is deadpan. Serious.]

Yes.

[fuckinstoplights]

I wouldn't know. It's all I've ever known.

[Well, and Nautilus now.]

Why?

[wingears]

Are you asking me why I follow humans?

[fuckinstoplights]

Yes. I am.

[wingears]

The boy who I follow. He is the one who gave Deckerd his heart. That means...all of us owe it to him.
