I feel like cooking.

......Luke, meet me in the kitchen.

I heard you. I just don't care what the replica thinks of me.

Only because it's all I have!

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

You're lying.


...why?

[dissonates]

Why should I care? I have no reason to.

It's-

I'm-

It's nothing.

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

Tell me.

[dissonates]

......

......

......

I'm dying.

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

What.

[dissonates]

You heard me.

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about-

You look fine!

[Private]

[dissonates]

It's not visible - everything wrong is internal. Why do you think I was always in such a rush back in Auldrant?

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

...it can't be the same here. It's not the same, Asch. You're fine.

[Private]

[dissonates]

You don't know that. Even I don't know that, and it's my own body. I can't just pretend it doesn't exist.

When Madame Fabre was here, she wasn't sick. She was in perfect health.


Asch, do you feel the same...?

[Private]

[dissonates]

.... Mother was here...?

And no, I don't... not entirely. But it doesn't matter that much anyway. As soon as we return to normal, the clock will start ticking down again, and I'll have even less time than before.

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yes. ...when you were here before.

You don't know that. We can go over our options; there's still time as long as you aren't set on giving up.

[Private]

[dissonates]

... I see. Figures.

I've known about this for almost half of my life. You don't think I've looked for options?

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

...she loves you, Asch.

So because you haven't found something, you're going to roll over and die?

[Private]

[dissonates]

....I know that.

I don't have time! We have to finish Van and free Lorelei. After that, it's over.

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

She misses you, too.

Then come with us. Or at least talk to Jade; I'm sure if he had more information, he could think of something.

[Private]

[dissonates]

I know that, Guy. I already spoke with her and Father before the Tower of Rem.

I have no interest in talking to the Necromancer. Anyway, he's just the one who created the theory. Spinoza or Dist would know more about the actual process, and I've already asked them.

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

And that business about never going back to the manor?

Then I'll talk to Jade for you.

[Private]

[dissonates]

... The dead can't return home.

.... Why are you doing this, Guy?

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

Stop that.

Because I want you to live.

[Private]

[dissonates]

....

Why?!

[Private]

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

Why not? You don't seem so bad, when you aren't in defensive mode. Do I need a reason to want to help someone?

[Private]

[dissonates]

......

Not... so bad...?
