[It's early in the morning-after a night of much boredom and little sleep- when Firo opens his journal.]

I've been wonderin': what kinda weapons do people use back where you guys come from? Where I live, people'll fight with anything from fists to tommy guns, but I figure everywhere's gotta have somethin' different.

[Later that morning, Firo sets off running for the Battle Dome. He hasn't been too pleased with himself lately: he failed to be effective against the droids that attacked a few weeks ago, and then he couldn't even protect his friend from being mallynapped. Actually, ever since Ennis was kidnapped before his arrival in Luceti he's felt nagging feelings of uselessness. They've only been intensified by recent events.

He has to get stronger. The capos of his Family would be disappointed if they saw him like this. In the back of his mind Firo can practically hear Yaguruma berating him.

He spends most of the day at the Battle Dome, focusing on training until he's ready to drop (though feel free to interrupt him). Maybe trying to go so long without a break isn't a good idea, but that doesn't matter to Firo at this point. When nightfall comes, he wanders outside and slumps by the door, exhausted.

And when aren't you an idiot?

[Firo. Pls.]

[He takes a deep breath through gritted teeth. Don't yell, don't yell...]

That's not for you to say.

Then who is to say? [Enlighten him bro]

It's for nobody to say, got it?

[Except his capo societa or the other high-ranking Martillos. Or Luck. Or Ennis. Just not a freeloader.]

Not even Ennis, Maiza or the Martillos? [Are you honestly going to not allow them to call you out when you're an idiot, Firo]

Wha-? That's completely different!

[Don't bring them into this, it only makes Firo wonder if they'd be at all pleased with his attitude right now.]

How is that different? You just said nobody is to say when you're an idiot.

[HE HAS YOU CORNERED]

Because... Because they don't count for stuff like that.

[They're special!

...Okay, even Firo realizes that's stupid.]

[JUST THIS FACE.

Firo pls.]

[He looks at Czes, then covers his face with his hands.]

...Just quit it, okay?

Suit yourself. [Czes: 1 Firo: 0]

[Harumph. Firo will sulk silently for a while.]

So did you say you wanted to your place first, or do you wanna come over right now?

I thought we were going to your house. Did you forget already?

[Siiiigh.]

No, I didn't forget. I was just wonderin' if you wanted to get somethin' or whatever first.

[Come on, Czes he's trying to be considerate for once.]

No, I don't need anything. [Pls bro no need to be considerate]

...Okay.

[For once Firo will stay quiet until they reach the house.]

Here it is. Make yourself at home.

Thank you. [And he'll walk on inside and look around curiously]

How many people do you stay with exactly?

There's four of us. Some other people have been in and out. Right now it's me, Seto, Kazuma, and Tao.

So the same strange people as before. [A blind kid, a green haired guy and a cat girl]

They're not strange!

[...]

...Seto's not strange!

He's just as strange as the rest of you. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay here with you and those other peple.

What, now you're tryin' to say I'm weird too?

Do you honestly think that you aren't?

[Glare]

Not as weird as you.

Please. If anyone is weirder than anyone here right now, it's you.
