You went off on tangential bullshit about death, and made assumptions on my feelings towards it. That's enough, along with a brief listen to your other conversations, to tell me you're a Grade A asshole.
[ like, holy shit, mello. it's amazing how many people he's pissed off. ]
You said that you were buried alive and that people died. I'd hardly call talking about death from there tangential or bullshit.
[It's an incredibly relevant topic for him kthx.]
I also made no assumptions. I asked one question, made a conditional statement, and then made other general statements. If you feel that those statements are about you, I'd say that you are the one making assumptions.
[JEEZ. And this conversation started out so well, too. He was, in part and in a vague manner, talking about himself. People aren't born without a fear of death - it takes conditioning, conscious effort to overcome.]
You can think I'm an asshole if you want. I can't stop you, and I really don't care to try, either. If I spent time chasing the approval of every person I ever met, I would have literally no time for anything else.
[And Mello has always had much better uses for his time - so he thinks. He is, of course, ignoring the fact that he spent much of his childhood seeking approval from L in the guise of competition to be called L's potential successor, and the fact that he has, in some ways, continued to do this in his long-standing rivalry with Near, who did succeed L in everything but official name.]
[ There's a moment of quiet on the other end, but it quickly turns to soft laughter that lacks humor. Mello can spin logic however he likes, but she stands firmly by her opinion: total fucking asshole with the added bonus of being intelligent.
Great. ]
Okay. [ It's entirely dismissive. And here, for extra fun, she'll send him a text with a middle finger emoji. ]

[Though certainly not the first time he's been called an asshole. There's an almost-laugh in what he says, a hint of surprised interest.]
Care to elaborate on the logic you used to reach that conclusion?

Are you always this much of a child, or are you making a special effort just for me?
