the Internet yet, and you got hit with a virus, right? You can’t help that!>
|sorry|
|sorry|
[Too much apologizing, ha-ha.]
{Anyway, we were just talking about the Yellow Scarves.}
|from the romance of the three kingdoms?|
[Well, yes, but more specifically, it’s a gang named after that.]
|oh, the people wearing yellow scraps around town?|
[Yes, those are the ones.]
{Have you seen them, Saika?}
|sorry, yes, i have|
|sorry|
[Oh?]
|what is the dollars?|
{Oh, you don’t know about the Dollars.}
|sorry|
{No, look, you don’t have to keep apologizing.}
{…Is it true, Izaya?}
{I see…}
[The Dollars are a group of young people, a lot like the Yellow Scarves.]
[They just don’t stand out as much, because they don’t have an easy identifier.]
|huh|
|what do you mean?|
[It’s not really worth explaining to someone who doesn’t know the details.]
{…The Dollars aren’t that fixated on reputation, though.}
{I think they just want vengeance for their friends.}
{So…I don’t think either side understands the other very well… There’s lots of misunderstandings going around.}
|i see, thank you|
[I’m sorry. But you really don’t need to worry about this, Anri.]
[It’s just people who don’t know the truth getting worked up about it.]
[I don’t think you’d do this, but turning yourself in would have no real effect on any of this. You’re not even the real mastermind.]
[You shouldn’t rush to a hasty decision.]
[And the police out there are scary right now…really scary! Especially the traffic cops!]
|i’m sorry, thank you|
{?}
[Oops. I need to teach you how to use private mode sometime.]
[Anyway, we can talk about this some more another time. Okay?]
{…I’ll be praying it doesn’t come to that.}
|um, sorry|
|i’m going to leave now|
{Oh, sure. Thanks for coming on, Saika.}
—SAIKA HAS LEFT THE CHAT—
[I’m really sorry. You shouldn’t let it bother you.]
[Oops, too late.]
[Night, Saika!]
[Oops, just a second too late…]
[In addition to being late, I think I’m going to log off for tonight.]
[I’ve got a guest staying over.]
[Anyways, night!]
{Talk to you later.}
—SETTON HAS LEFT THE CHAT—
{Those weird things that the virus was causing Saika to post…}
{You think they have something to do with the slashings after all?}
