I mean that works for those cases, sure, but that only works when the conversation is going on regardless. In FF VIII it happens several times that the other party is talking *to* Squall and even *expecting him to reply* but he only does to himself in an inner monologue, and actually mapping out in your head how the scene plays out in reality, dunno, it just feels strange whichever way it's cut.
