"Oh, him? I met one of the members of his group for only a couple of minutes...That was enough for me. The glitter, the way he presents himself as a leader- It's disgraceful. I can't even regard him as competition, that'd be too big of a compliment for someone so small and insignificant."
"...Judas? I don't think I've ever spoken to him personally... But word by mouth is enough. I've heard of how he's treated DEATHWISH, and that's enough for me to dislike him. You should never, ever, undermine anyone just because you believe you're better than them. It's... Can I call his behavior disgusting? Because it is. Nonetheless, if I ever do speak to him, I have quite a few things I'd like to say, and none of them are pretty."
"I am so happy we met!!! With my fashion expertise, and his money, we were able to craft the perfect wardrobes together! He's the reason I'm wearing what I've got on right now, actually! Back when he first joined, he bought me this pair of sunglasses. Heh- I guess I just haven't taken them off since! I cherish them as much as I cherish him."
"He's got so much energy. It was a bit much at first, but... It grows on you. Whenever I'm feeling down, it's him picking me back up. However, don't let him in the kitchen. I invited him to bake with me one day and... The house nearly burnt down. It was kind of scary-"
"Ruby... He is just so cute. Back then, 'Hello, Beautiful' was only a duo. But when I met him, Diamond and I both agreed that he just had to be in on everything. He's honestly got such a lovely voice. I just hope that I can help him fulfill all of his dreams, he deserves nothing less. Ah... I guess I've got a habit for picking up misfits like me, don't I?"
"Copper is... So kind. At first, I was kind of intimidated by him- He's way prettier than me. I was surprised he'd even approach me, and then even more surprised when he invited me to be a part of his group. I'm sure he doesn't mind me saying this since it's basically public knowledge but... He really is bringing someone new to the house every other night. It was a little awkward at first... but I've come to understand that he'll never let his lifestyle interfere with our group. We come first, always. I think that's what I love so much about him."
"Oh, he is just a doll, is he not? I absolutely adore him and his sense of fashion, he's perfect for our group. He makes sure our outfits are top notch, which is perfect when we all go on a night out. Such a sweetheart, honestly. You'll never meet anyone else like him."
"Ohmigosh- I love him! You know, he's the first person to never really judge me for my personality. We kicked it off almost instantly, and next thing I knew, he was inviting me to make a group with him! Or, I guess back then it was more of a duo- He's just amazing. I couldn't imagine having a different leader, he holds us together."
"...I know. I could hear him shouting from outside the building. Don't worry, he's just like that- He doesn't mean any offense with it. That's just who he is. He's really sweet, honestly. Between you and me, when I was sick, he went out of his way to buy me medicine and stay with me. He... also got sick, mind you. Then we had to get quarantined together- You just wouldn't believe his kindness until you see it. He truly cares for people."
"I'm answering one more fucking question and then I'm out of here-! Screw me, let's talk about everyone else! No, but, Elio's the one I guess I'm closest to. He's... Kind of the only person other than Judas who has an idea of who I used to perform with. But fuck- He's too nice for me to be around. I don't deserve to talk to someone as pure as that- I'll just fuckin ruin them. Okay, cut this shit. I'm out of here. I'll come back when you can actually ask me some questions about myself. What a joke."
"Ruby seems really sweet... 'Hello, Beautiful' is a good change in pace and I feel like Deathwish needs their alliance more than anything. But... I really want to get a chance to get closer to Ruby... I don't want anybody else to be mean to him, he doesn't deserve it."
"I... Think he's really nice. I love being around all of Deathwish, honestly. It's very different from our usual glitz and glamor, but he's really kind. Do you think I should... Bake him something sometime? I've thought about it, I just don't know if it would be weird- I don't want him to think I'm weird- Oh, cut that out of the tape, please? I don't want to spoil the surprise if I do end up making him anything-!"
"Very loud... need... earplugs around him."
"Dude are you- I get it! This just isn't about me- Ugh. I don't mind talking about Alvar- He's quiet. Whenever he does talk, I don't really get what he's saying. Everyone else does! Not me... No, dude, I'm not making fun of him-! Fuck, man- screw those assholes. I'll defend him, he doesn't deserve any shit anyone gives him."
"...I can't say I understand him, because I don't. It's kind of hard to deal with his aggressiveness sometimes- But I can see that he has a good heart. There's just a wall there that nobody has really been able to get through. He's incredibly talented, though. Like everyone else in flatline, I can't help but admire him. His stage presence is... undeniable. It's something you have to see for yourself. Hey, maybe you should come out to our next show! I can buy you a ticket."
"Okay, is this just not about me now? No, whatever dude! Whatever. Haruki's nice. But he's always following Judas around like a fucking- a lost puppy. He should talk to the rest of us every once in a while, you know? We aren't invisible."
"Fucking- Really? This is my interview, and you're asking about him? Okay- Okay! I guess he's fine. I don't really care for his shit sometimes. We'll never see eye to eye, I don't understand him. Most of it is just him yapping bullshit. But he's never questioned me about- everything before. I'm... finally more than that. Shut up, fuck off, I'm not tearing up. Kill yourself, cut the fucking tape-! Shit-"
"He's a complicated one. Aggressive, sure. I wasn't so sure about having him in my group after his consistent outbursts... But I came to understand why. He's always had the most experience out of the whole group, having performed with- Oh, I apologize. I forgot that group is considered... taboo to speak of now. Nonetheless, we've had to work through our differences several times. He still gets annoyed by me quite frequently... I don't believe he'll ever understand. But he keeps the group together."
"He's one of the only people who have ever really understood. Most always see me as who I used to be, and never as who I am now. People don't understand that growth is so common and happens daily- but he does. He gets it. He can be a little... controlling... But when seeing the smile and light he puts in Haruki's eyes especially, I see that our group would be nothing without him. He is our leader, after all."
"Oh, Elio. What a sweetheart, honestly- I don't care about what he was involved in during his past. He opened up to us one night, but of course that's something that I could never tell you. Some things must remain unsaid. However, I do believe he is much more than what he thinks he is. He lacks confidence... but only those of the highest talent and ability are allowed in my group. He is of no exception to that rule- He's truly amazing."
"...Nice leader. Intimidating sometimes- but good intentions. Want... to be like him. Strong.... and normal. I'm... not normal."
"You would never expect a voice of such power to come out of that man. Do not let his appearance deceive you, he is talented and perceptive. He is very aware of his surroundings. I... Painfully dislike when people make fun of him for his size. Focus on what's beneath, never appearances."
"It's eyerolling to see Judas's bandmates worship him like he's some sort of god, can't even really fuckin' conversate with any of the rest of them without Judas in my face. Who knows, maybe some flatline members know some form of respect, I don't really know much about Haruki."
"I've never been a fan of how he makes Judas act- He was so different before Axis got involved in the mix of things. I can't help but feel bad- He always treats people that he sees as 'beneath him' so poorly. I'm sure he's a nice person, but it's not like I'm allowed to make extensive conversation with him..."
"Dawww.... You're asking me about my paranormal partner? Listen... I feel like we're kinda still in our awkward phase of friendship, but I think I'm making some progress. He's a lot richer than me and lives a completely different lifestyle... it's honestly like night and day... But that doesn't really matter. I wouldn't trade North for the world, I love ya, buddy!... Also, I'm slowly introducing him to real people things... like Taco Bell."
"He's... Interesting. Although despite our clear differences in lifestyle and status, he feels... unusually equal to me. I'm not quite sure where to place the definition, as I am unfamiliar with it. Perhaps we just need to be around each other more. But he has introduced me to many things I've never been exposed to... like- What was it called again? Ah, right. A 'Taco... Bell.'"
"You... You're fuckin' asking ME about Judas?! Have you seen ANY of our shows-?! The man is practically obsessed with my ass... following me around like some... some kind of chick. A fan... maybe. A performing fan... I don't fuckin' know. Listen, flatline is never gonna beat Deathwish and that's final... So he can take his pretty ass somewhere else."
"...He's a painfully pathetic one, isn't he? Always running around like a poor ape that has escaped from his enclosure, don't you agree? Listen, don't listen to a word he says. He is as incompetent as he is tone deaf. I cannot believe a band such as Deathwish has made it so far, but flatline is so superior it's nearly comical."
"You never truly understand how weak you are until you go up against someone such as me. I am more than money. My stance holds nothing but power above anyone and everyone beneath me. He will understand soon enough why you should never dare to challenge me, or my band."
"Hah- Judas-?! *cough* ...What? I don't have much to say about flatline. Judas has only gotten to his position through family money. It's uh... annoying, to say the least. People who work hard like me to get to their position have more value in this career... Just wait, the world will have to see that one day."
"Fuck, we met at like... some sorta club or somethin' like that? Oh yeah. The whole group was shoutin' "Take the shirt off, hottie!!" and I totally did. it was the fuckin best time... But uhh yeah I mean it's kinda nice to meet people who don't hate me and Deathwish for once... I'm always down for some slutty rock combo if you know what I'm sayin'."
"Oh, him! Our first meeting was- interesting. But my boys like him, and I honestly do too. As a group that's new to the scene, we all feel very welcomed, even if he's a little over the top sometimes. He has a very admirable energy and leads his band with pride. I would hope that we all grow closer... Maybe we could all go out for drinks sometime."
"...The leader of 'Hello, Beautiful' hum?... Did we ever meet? ...My apologies, I've met tons of small insignificant bands... it's truly hard to remember which is which... No matter, I probably won't be hearing about them anymore anyways."
"I can never stand people who think that they're better than everyone else. It leaves a sick feeling in my stomach- I'm honestly glad his career is ruined. I can't imagine running into anybody like that in the industry, let alone being forced to take them seriously."
"It's nice not being alone. I forgot how it felt to have someone with me- It's weird sometimes. Aside from our initial meeting... I do want to know more about her. But she never seems to want to open up to me."
"She's a fighter. I admire her strength and persistence, but she doesn't need to exert herself as much as she does. However, I do find myself staring a bit too often- It's a habit I should break here soon, before she notices."
"You know, I always told myself I'd never get involved in... real feelings. But there's something about him- I don't know. It feels like he's there for more than the obvious things I can provide. I feel like he actually cares about me."
"...He's a charmer, that one. There's definitely a reason he was given the alias he holds today, but I prefer what's beneath. He's more than what he presents himself to be."
"Ashton is always talking about how he wishes he could've done things different between that man. Even though the duel passed several years ago and Imeda is gone, he... He still has nightmares."
"...That bastard of a prince."
"I-I still hear it... I had to do it, but why? Why did it have to be him? Can't my troubles... Stop being dug up?"
"..."
"H=He... This is his fault, it has to be. I refuse to believe I've done anything wrong. I haven't, right? P-Please tell me I haven't... done the wrong thing-"
"Mister! Oh, how helpful he has been! He helped shorten my sentence and everything... I just hope he never goes back on his word."
"Oh! Oh, dear... You're talking about her? And here I was, thinking you were coming to me for some... other assistance... However, I do fail to understand why others are so fearful of her. She's chosen by Him, just like the rest of us. Sure, she can be a little creepy but... Ah, I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I?"
"He actually listens to me. Although, our conversations may be broken by his occasional advances... He is a friend."
"I don't think he gets it. In fact, I don't think anybody will ever understand what I've had to do. I'm not against talking to him, but I can't stand it when people pretend to understand me."
"I also understand the sentiment of becoming the 'Bad Guy' if it's necessary... I did the same thing. Perhaps I would benefit from getting to know him better."
