[For a moment there, Marco is flabbergasted. You can be friends with someone and not care about them? What? Does Kira understand what friendship is?
(Is this his parents' fault, too?)
But the moment passes, and Marco can't bring it up. Instead, he has to listen to the answer he wasn't hoping for. The answer he expected.
He's tired, but yet, he can't help but feel like he can't waste the chance to pull at whatever heartstrings Kira might have.]
... Do you want to tell me about that woman? The one you feel bad for?
[If Marco sat down, remembered all the information Kira has given him and tried to put it together, he might realise who Kira is talking about. Right now, though, he doesn't really have the capacity to do that.]

[The question forces him to give pause and really think. Does he want to talk about Shinobu? His thoughts drift to her often but that doesn't mean as much as it seems. He's already accepted some things and now he just has to move past them. If he speaks of her too much... something horrible might come to pass.]
I'm hesitant too... I'm afraid, really and truly afraid of the Fog Witch's vindictiveness. How does she decide who should suffer on her little island of horrors? I imagine she brought me here to torture the ones in Morioh and vice versa. She brings people with already grave struggles and seeks to harm them further. You who has committed one murder that nearly tore your psyche apart must now commit hundreds.
If I speak of her. If I say her name out loud... I fear the Fog Witch might pluck her from Morioh and put here here. It would be of no benefit to me, with this face I do not look like the man I was pretending to be. She does not know me. And then she will have to suffer. There are few things crueler than that, and I would have to watch or perhaps keep my distance knowing she's here while the wicked people of this world spread their thoughts about me.
No. I cannot risk the witch bringing her here. And if she ever does there is no force in this world that will stop me from finding this so called God and tearing her apart.
[And that may be the most sincere Kira has been in a long long time.]

maybe...it's still kinda weird though.
and isn't it weird that you get new teeth when you're really really young?
i see lots of really old demons with fake teeth, why don't they grow new teeth?
do you have fake teeth marco-san?

too personal-
marco we haven't had that conversation at all
i was kind of hoping we'd never have to
now i'm freaking out because what if he wants kids

[Well. Good then. He's said more than he cares to about things far too personal. That would make both Josuke and Marco the two people here that know far too much about him.]
I know many people don't think too kindly of me. And that's within their rights. But, I will say, I'm quite dedicated in the efforts to get home. I don't intend to change who I am for it though. But, when it comes to defeating her, that is something I'm behind one hundred percent.
I wouldn't be here if I wasn't.
That should be enough, don't you think?

but did he not want to have it because he wants kids and hasn't told me yet
do you think he would leave me if i didn't want kids
nobody that young should be subjected to me
i'm freaking out

[ also look at his lack of punctuation and capitalisation... ]
i know im sadly lacking compared to some. its frustrating

[Of course Kira doesn't intend to change himself. That much has become saddeningly clear. Yet... Marco can't quite give up the hope that change will happen regardless. Maybe it would take a miracle, but... he IS a man of faith.]
It's just... Well... [How should he put it?] Acting too much like one of her people, that's not... It's not good.

that might help yes
i dont know how to do much more than type
i dont know how to do much more than type

that was our first fight

[He doesn't need to hear the preaching of a priest. Especially when it's wrong.]
The Fourth God doesn't seem to mind how I do things. When I spoke to him he seemed to have the same understanding that I do about people.
He made me a lovely promise. A promise that's going to punish everyone when he wins. Perhaps it's not acting as her people but as just people in general. The Fog Witch didn't create violence. It's been in us all along. People are violent and cruel. The fog emplifies it no doubt but she doesn't cause it. If we believe that then we're passing blame for things and denying who we are as people.
And if she is not the cause of violence then the Fourth has no reason to be against it.
No offense to you, Marco, but I don't think you understand our God very well. I think the only person who does is Mr. Malfoy. He certainly sees things the way I do, and it's quite nice.

[Unfortunately, Marco is stubborn, not to mention more than a little deluded, and so, as Kira says all that and Marco grows increasingly irritated, his thoughts wander off in parallel directions - whether Kira is lying or just misunderstanding things, what reasons he would have to lie, the likelihood that this is just him twisting things to fit his own worldview, as he seems to have a tendency to do so...
... That said, Marco is almost grateful for the chance to gripe about something tangible and certain.]
You're friends with Lucius. Of all people. Right, I nearly forgot.

[The comment causes Kira to smirk. Everything that he said is ignored for a quip at his good friend.
Poor Marco. When the world collapses right under him it will truly be a sight Kira does not want to miss.]
Mister Malfoy is a charming and brilliant man. You should give him a chance. Maybe you can save him too.
[Tightening his tie just so, Kira makes to leave. There's no point in pressing or mentioning that Marco avoided all points of interest but that's fine. Silence says everything sometimes.]
