[ huffs ] Well, I can't deny that.

[ercnerd]

Well, I suppose that's just part of living. Life would be dull if everyone were the same.

[frostythehitman]

S'like that quote. There's only one way to listen, but a million different ways to not listen.

[ercnerd]

Haha. Exactly. Whoever said that knew what they were talking about.

[frostythehitman]

It was...Tolstoy, I think. And the quote was originally about happy families and unhappy families.

[ercnerd]

In other words, there's one happy family for every million unhappy families? How downbeat.

[frostythehitman]

He was a Russian writer. They're all like that.

[ercnerd]

What about you?

[frostythehitman]

What about me?

...are you asking if I'm Russian?

[ercnerd]

Well, are you?

[frostythehitman]

No. I thought I was, for a while. I think. But no.

[ercnerd]

Did you think that because of the simulation . . . ?

[frostythehitman]

The simulation...? You mean the last murder round I was in?

No, that was just...something that happened in my life, back home.

[ercnerd]

. . . Well, if you're not Russian, what are you?

[frostythehitman]

American.

...do these country names even mean anything to you?

[ercnerd]

Nah. I must not have visited your dimension yet.

[frostythehitman]

Well, all you need to know if they're very far away from each other and aren't on the best of terms.

[ercnerd]

That's one constant across all dimensions, huh . . . As long as different countries exist, there'll always be conflict.

[frostythehitman]

Heh, you got that right. I got thrown from one war straight into the next and the next. There's always a need for more soldiers.

[ercnerd]

[He nods.]

Having said that, it'd be good to see the day when they're no longer needed.

[frostythehitman]

The day that comes, I'll be out of a job.

Maybe I could take a permanent vacation.

[ercnerd]

That's not a bad idea. Where would you go?

[frostythehitman]

[ opens mouth ]

...you know, I have no idea. I've never thought about it before.

[ercnerd]

Then you should. You never know when it'll become a possibility.
