[Accelerator clicks his tongue in annoyance. He doesn't believe that at all, kids have some weird power that makes everyone a pushover when you get down to it.

Regardless, listening to the rest of this conversation is hard. It had been difficult when he first experienced it, and hearing it a second time when he knows how shitty his behaviour is makes it even harder. Shifting in his chair, he turns away slightly, refusing to look at the dream versions of himself and Last Order.

“But Misaka is grateful to you, says Misaka as Misaka tells the truth. If you weren’t around, the experiment would have never formed and the declining Radio Noise project wouldn’t have been picked up again by someone else, says Misaka as Misaka explains to you. You were savior and killer, Eros and Thanatos, life and death—Misaka has no doubt that you’re the one to thank for the lifeless Misakas gaining souls, says Misaka as Misaka is grateful.”

So she said.

Her voice was soft, as if welcoming him.

That irritated him.

For some reason, it really ticked him off.

“The hell?” began Accelerator in a low voice. “That makes absolutely no logical sense. You’d need a shit-ton of apathy to accept that life is just a zero-sum game where people are born and people die, and that’s it. Either way, it doesn’t change that I was killing all of you. I had fun. I was happy about it. I wanted to do it!”

“That’s a lie, says Misaka as Misaka denies your words. Misaka doesn’t think you wanted to be in the experiment at all, says Misaka as Misaka surmises.”
