He told me that one day, I would face him, and when I did, I needed to bring Usagi, so she could watch me fail.

I didn't win.

[That's the closest you'll get to Rei saying 'yes'.]

Whatever.

I thanked you. Do you need anything else.

[Simple, to the point.]

[... yeah, she's not answering that. She already knows she fucked up. She doesn't need it rubbed in her face like she's a child.]

[A bit of a pause before the next text is sent.]

If I accepted failure, I would be dead.

[There's a pause, longer than then one she had given, and when he finally responds, it's in voice.]

Then let this battle go. Use your energy to prepare for the next.

You both walked away. He failed as much as you did.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[There's a long silence before she switches over the feed.]

There can't be a next.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[mirroredecho.livejournal.com]

There will be until you bring the cycle to an end.

You seem to think I wanted to get into a fight with the Devil today.

I think you had better things to do.

[Voice//Private//Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

I always have better things to do.
