[foundafamily]

...I'll give you that.

[The police didn't do anything about the incident with Szilard, did they?]

But who'd cover up vampires?

[cursedtolive]

Vampires with power who want to keep their kind from being discovered, targeted, and researched or experimented on by humans.

Vampires with power who don't want their kind to get hunted down.

Humans who fear and despise vampires and think they shouldn't be known by humans.

Humans who want to hide the existence of vampires and want to use their powers for their own benefit.

[foundafamily]

...Okay, but you don't know for sure that those exist!

[cursedtolive]

Can you prove that they don't exist?

[foundafamily]

[He shakes his head, frustrated.]

Well, no, but I think it's more likely that they don't exist. Can you prove that they exist?

[cursedtolive]

Why do you think it's so likely that they don't?

[foundafamily]

Because... Because it'd be weird.

[cursedtolive]

Firo...

It's really, really weird to people usually that we exist! Immortals'll just normal to you because a lot of your friends are immortal.

[foundafamily]

[He can see Czes's point. More clearly than he'd like to admit.]

...All right, but I have evidence of immortals. I don't have any of vampires.

[cursedtolive]

... Fine.

Fair enough.

But you can't say they don't exist.

[foundafamily]

What can I say about 'em, then?

[cursedtolive]

That they might or might not exist but we won't know for sure.

[foundafamily]

Yeah. I'll remember that next time I get into an argument with somebody about this.

[cursedtolive]

Probably the next time you get into an argument about this you should just admit we're right.

[foundafamily]

Hey! I'm not gonna do that if you're not actually right!

[Firo may have conceded that he could be wrong, but that doesn't mean Czes wins!]

[cursedtolive]

But I am!

And you'll find out that I am! Someday!

[foundafamily]

I really hope that doesn't happen. And not just 'cause it'd prove you right.

[cursedtolive]

You don't wanna discover new things?

[foundafamily]

I don't wanna get chomped on while discoverin' it.

[cursedtolive]

Firo... you're immortal.

That's not gonna do anything to you.

[foundafamily]

I know that!

[Well, right now he's not, but he hopes that can change.]

Doesn't mean I find bein' a punchin' bag pleasant.

[cursedtolive]

I know.

[He smiles.]

I know, Firo.

[foundafamily]

...Okay.

Let's just agree that it'll never happen.

[Now who's pretending they've won the argument?]

[cursedtolive]

You're gonna live forever. You never know.

[foundafamily]

[He sighs, part frustration, part trying to buy time to think of a rebuttal.]

Me livin' longer doesn't make impossible things more likely.
