Video - Filtered Away from Lucifer

[Michael can be seen on the floor of a room he uses at Raphael's place. Today he's just in a pair of really short shorts and a pair of thigh high boots. That's it.

He sort of...nudges the device with his foot once it's on.]

Hey, Raphael. I'm gonna redecorate this room sometime. It's kinda boring.

[He doesn't care that everyone else heard that too.]

You should do the same with the rest of the house too.

I know you did. You tried. I saw that. And he's a big fucking jerk. But you still shouldn't let him win. Not when you were the better person.

[Voice goes really soft.] ...he's going to die. When you get back to your world, and he goes back. He's going to.

He already told me. Said he was dying and shit.

Are you really okay with that?

[No...he's not... Because... Fuck it all.]

He's the ruler of Hell! He betrayed us for scum!

Yeah, I know.

But does that change all your feelings? Does that make him stop being your brother?

I know I couldn't see it that way. When he turned on us, I had trouble believing it. It hurt more than I realized at the time.

What could you know, Messiah? He treats you like you're something.

So what makes you so special? Why would he actually look at you when he throws the rest of us out?

[Setsuna shakes his head to that.]

Don't worry. I'm not that special. Once he's Lucifer again, he'll turn on me same as anyone else.

As for now, I think in his own fucking idiotic way he's trying with you, too. He's just STUPID about it. He doesn't know how. It's something you guys have never done before, so it's not like you know how, right?

You're wrong! You're all special and he actually bothers to look at you! You make me sick when I look at you!

[It's...not really true. He's just so jealous, so hurt by what his brother did.]

You're some fucking moron and yet he goes to do shit for you! Why the hell would he look at you when he's turned his back on us all! [On him...]

No, I'm not wrong about that. Because he killed me. The only reason I lived after that was because of Alexiel. I'll mean nothing to him. It's not that far off.

If you feel that strongly, just switch it to voice.

And...I really wish he'd stop doing that stuff for me, anyway. Because, yeah, I'm worthless. I don't really get it, either. Doesn't mean it isn't gonna hurt when he does.

You annoying bastard. What is with this whole "I'm nothing" crap? It's bullshit and you know it!

Stop being so pathetic!

No, that....

Funny. That's coming from you.

Don't you pull that on me! I can see that he actually likes you!

I hate that! Tell me what makes you so different from everyone! Why you!

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

[Although Setsuna's thinking that over now. He had so much insecurity before, then Kira died for him. WHY? Why him?]

You don't think I wonder that myself? At first I thought it was 'cause of Alexiel. Maybe it is? I don't really know. It's not like he's ever told me. ['He just died for me, like an idiot.' This conversation HURTS. But Setsuna's still having it ~~like the masochist he is~~.]

He hates everyone, trashes everyone, destroys everyone! Even family isn't sacred to him!

[He is breathing harder now and can feel his head pounding. Why does this have to hurt so much? Maybe it would be easier to admit his real feelings but...]

Nothing but you! You...always you!

[Not angry in return, just letting Michael rant. He noticed he didn't change it to voice, either.]

...hurts, doesn't it? It hurts like your chest is gonna rip open. And that still doesn't make anything better. Nothing makes it better, does it?

[Setsuna doesn't want to go there, his defeat - it feels like cheating.]

Wouldn't you feel more satisfaction doing this with swords rather than over this stupid thing?

Where are you Messiah? I'm going to kick your damn ass.

I'll be in the gardens. I know they're big, but I shouldn't be hard to miss.

Fine.

[And he's hanging up because he has to rush to go kick some ass.]

Michael....

[He knows one word responses from the short one are BAD. Much sighing.]

[After his time with Raphael and that talk with Setsuna, he now needs to go for a fight. A real fight. He flies over until he can see the Messiah and dives down, crashing into the ground.

Right away, he rushes forward to swing a fist. He's forgotten about the sword on his back.]

[It's okay. Setsuna can do fist-fighting. He attempts a block, but doesn't aim to punch in return. This whole thing just makes him sad. He'll hit when he needs to, but right now....]

You... Why you!

[Height differences or strength differences don't mean much to him currently. He's too busy just throwing punches, so hurt that he's angry and too scared to let go of that because he doesn't know what he's left with if he does.]

[Yeah, Setsuna's already figured on that, having been there himself. Wow, that feels like a long time ago. Some of those might make contact, but Setsuna doesn't seem to feel them, mainly blocking the ones he can.]

Sucks, doesn't it? That you can do this forever and it's never going to get better.

Why? Why does it have to be that way? Tell me!

[He has no idea why he's asking the Messiah. It's not like he'll really have the answers he wants. But the questions keep falling out before Michael can stop them.]

'Cause it might be easier to admit how you really feel, but it hurts more. This is just prolonging all of that, isn't it?

[Setsuna figures Michael's just overloaded, and it's probably resulting in this. That and he's got a lot of pain locked away.] Or is it getting it out somehow?
