Capsule 005 💊 (Video)

[The video feed pops on, showing Kaneda on his bed with...what looks to be the remains of something electronic. Something...pretty familiar. So familiar that it may match what you're holding in your hand to watch this said video. Wires are spilling out of it, some not even attached anymore, and the casing looks like it got bent like a spoon.]

So.

Anyone know how to fix a busted comm?


[A hand reaches up to rub the back of his neck as the other gingerly picks up the device between two fingers, wires dangling.]


I'd say technical difficulties is understating a biiiit~ but I guess it depends on your point of view.

[It's for a friend, okay.]

[Kaneda's thoughts turn to the people in his world, the politicians who did just what Isaac did. They saw the problems in Neo Tokyo, but instead of dealing with it, they turned a blind eye, figuring the police and the army would handle it. If they buried their heads enough, it didn't exist to them.

His world was falling apart. And it seemed inevitable to give up.

That's why it's so easy to just give up--

The most important thing you can do is never give in to that feeling.

Maybe he just needed to be reminded of that.]

Listen to ya, sounding like a fortune cookie. [but he smiles.] I don't plan on giving up any time soon, that's for sure.

I'm built to last.


[Literally.]

[He chuckles slightly, somewhat out of amusement at his comment about the fortune cookie, but also out of appreciation at his words.]

That's good to hear, kid. Giving up doesn't save anybody.
