Ah, but that's why I'm lending it to you: because of some of the things that have happened here.
[Like "The Jungle". A few people had died there, and the predators that had prowled beneath that thick, green canopy had been dangerous enough to give even himself pause, and that terrible accident that claimed Ket's life... then, there was the volcano, or - wherever it was everyone else went to. This place was safer than the lockdown, true, but it was still dangerous. Kazuya could survive easily without his COMP, but William? The only person he met who was truly and honestly a kindred spirit? Well... it was a no brainer, really]
I can take care of myself perfectly fine without it, but you... [Kazuya gently closed the lid of his COMP] I understand your feelings, you know? To feel helpless while surrounded by creatures that are older and more powerful than you. I just want to give you a bit of a leg up, like I was given. It's only fair when your opponents are demons and angels.
[He smiled and held the COMP out, giving it a tempting little wriggle;]
Besides, I've outgrown this. If I face a high level demon without it, chances are I'll crush it underfoot without breaking a sweat. [Bold, but true. Mostly. If Lucifer popped his head back in, Kazuya would be destroyed, but against the likes of Beldr or Belzaboul or anything like that? Psh. He'll come out of it battered and bruised, but very much alive and on top] It'll serve better use with you. If it'll make you feel better though... just think of it as being a temporary loan. If I ever need it, I'll come and claim it back off of you. Sound fair?
