Well, I still figure the first one's true...and if you're lying about the third one, then that means you'd actually hate that guy instead of considering him a friend. I know I wouldn't be able to call somebody I hate a good friend with a straight face like that.

[Basically, hardly the most elaborate extrapolation in the world, but it's about all he's going on at the moment. Shizuo shrugs.]

So, that just leaves the second one I guess...
