Event Story – Escape The Prison, ch.20

Jet: Stop right there, you know-it-all four-eyes bastard.

Victor: ... My, oh my.

Jet: Running your mouth off... You scientists sure like to fantasize about stuff, huh?

Victor: Fufu, it does not look like you are here to protect Gray this time.

Jet: It's already bad enough that that guy is easily deceived, but he buys whatever story you sell him.
Don't go fill his head with weird ideas any more than this.

Victor: Please accept my apologies. I just try to speak based on evidence as much as possible.

Jet: ... He also talks a lot around you.

Victor: Are you also perceiving all the things Gray talks about, sees and hears?

Jet: If I wanna. I also live a normal life inside Gray, so I can't perceive crap when he's sleeping or doing other stuff.
It's like when you're watching TV. I can perceive what I want to see and hear, regardless of Gray's will.

Victor: I see... What about our exchange earlier?

Jet: …Heard it.
Well, I don't feel like letting Gray dominate at all, so if he's noticed his mistake, that's fine by me.

Victor: Ironic, don't you think?

Jet: Hah? What do you mean?

Victor: No... It's like that "I have to prevail" statement just now, I was thinking it is quite the irony.
This might also be deception from my part, but...
You, in other words the alter "Jet", embody Gray's "ideal strength".
I do not know if Gray himself is aware of this, but from an outsider's perspective... you resemble Asch in many aspects.

Jet: ......



Victor: Asch is a stranger to Gray, so he might not know the intrinsic part. That is why you are not exactly the same.
While being a hateful being who oppressed him and caused him a trauma, Asch was a symbol of "strength" and "power" for Gray.
... It is quite complicated, after all.

Jet: Tch... Don't lump me in with that filthy pig, it makes me sick.
If he wanna overtake me, then so be it.
... If he can change with that, that is.

Victor: Fufu. It is a curious case as it is, but the mystery and entertainment around you is infinite.
I am really interested to see what move you wll make... if there will really come a day when Gray overtakes you.

Jet: ... I've got no idea what you deem entertaining.
Fantasize as much as you like, you know-it-all four-eyes bastard.
