Kazuya blinked slightly before he let out a scoff, crossing his arms and looking away with an indifferent expression. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to that - it did seem like he was important no matter the timeline, wasn't it? Was it simply because he was a piece of Abel? Really, if he never got these King of Bel powers, or was eligible for the competition, he wouldn't've been much help.

"Well, I made the playing field a little uneven, didn't I?" Kazuya finally said after a pause, looking back at his friend with a small smirk. "Since I was born as a super special snowflake...my life feels like it should be a shonen manga," he said, resting his hands on his hips as he chuckled.
