"What do you mean by allowing her to act independently?" "then you have no meaning." "and it will be taken from you." "That is the bond between an Entourage and its master." "I'm heading over to the HJ District." "Come pick me up." "Hold on." "HJ District is outside our jurisdiction." "I have to go." "I'll go by myself." "What do you mean by allowing her to act independently?" "then you have no meaning." "You can't understand." "She is your raison d'etre." "and it will be taken from you." "That is the bond between an Entourage and its master." "These winds are too strong for the ship to fly?" "That bucket of bolts is ready for the junkyard." "I think I hurt my leg." "Give me a medical exam." "Medical?" "so she doesn't know how to do that sort of thing." "She's as useless as that ship." "I'm surprised you even made it this far." "Maybe it's because you're a Proxy." "Re-l..." "A Proxy who doesn't even know what a Proxy is." "What a joke." "Shit." "When's it going to stop?" "86)}conceptual blind spot" "Proxies... if it weren't for them..." "Vincent Law." "It's that AutoReiv from before..." "Did she come to retrieve it?" "What's she doing?" "What the hell are you doing?" "Hey!" "Take it." "Those things are nothing but trouble." "Wait." "Is that your master?" "Are you the one who took care of that Proxy?" "It..." "It looks the same." "Of course." "The whole place is..." "Did that thing create it?" "These Proxies..." "what the hell are they?" "it doesn't matter anyway." "Right now the important thing is that I..." "What are you going to do now that you've lost your master?" "Did you think you could take my gun from me while I was sleeping?" "so..." "Do my hair." "can't you?" "Are you deaf?" "I'm reading a book." "What the hell?" "then you do it." "Set my hair." "But I... how am I supposed to survive without Iggy!" "no matter who they are." "Entourages can't live without a master." "now that I have a soul." "So... there's only one thing to do." "Kill the one who took my master from me." "I'll kill him." "she'll come back." "Re-l?" "You're better than I thought." "Am I?" "I'll have you do it from now on." "where are you going?" "I'm worried about the ship." "I'm gonna go take a look." "But the wind out there... she'll come back." "I can't believe this wind is too strong to fly in." "Re-l." "what are you doing here?" "I told you to go back to Romdeau." "I could never leave you behind." "You're infected with the cogito." "Re-l." "You just now noticed?" "You never were the brightest bulb." "Or maybe it's because you weren't paying attention to me." "That hurts." "After all the time we spent together..." "Since when?" "It happened in Romdeau." "That time the infected AutoReiv attacked me." "But you tested negative." "That was easy once I knew how it worked." "All this time..." "But I haven't changed at all." "Iggy... the only one I've protected." "isn't it Re-l?" "how can you not need me?" "We're out of firewood." "Pino." "I'm reading a book." "will you?" "Open it." "Re-l Mayer?" "you've done with me as you've pleased." "I'm going to have my way with you." "What do you think you're doing?" "Iggy." "then Iggy's already dead." "What?" "Iggy would never speak like that." "That's ridiculous!" "isn't it?" "It's not only that." "I can't imagine Iggy saying or doing any of these things." "it's the same as if you had died." "Iggy was infected with the cogito and died." "Shut up!" "Re-l Mayer." "But that doesn't give you the right to kill me off... just because I don't serve your purpose anymore." "then... why would I have stayed with you all this time after leaving Romdeau?" "That's... aren't you?" "Are you saying that wasn't me?" "what am I?" "I'm your favorite." "You're the one who customized my speech settings." "You... you're letting that pretty face of yours go to waste." "Girls shouldn't make such unpleasant faces." "Then you've been deceiving me all this time?" "Deceiving?" "It's unacceptable for an Entourage to deceive its master." "A loyal Entourage would never act like this." "you ceased to be Iggy." "You're not Iggy!" "Re-l Mayer." "Who the hell do you think is responsible for all this?" "Selfish Re-l." "Useless Re-l." "Incomplete Re-l." "who could handle a woman like you?" "What's that?" "You're much more incompetent than you think." "without even knowing." "But who do you think made it all possible for you?" "arrogant bitch?" "Me?" "!" "You say I'm unacceptable?" "That's my line." "I don't accept that you don't need me!" "What are you going to do to me?" "Are you only now starting to worry?" "Answer me." "that's all." "I remember you said there's no way an AutoReiv like me... could truly understand you because I don't have a soul." "But I do have a soul." "How could you not have realized?" "We can't make it back to Romdeau in the U-4 anymore... but there's still the ship." "It was your idea." "What do you plan on doing after you take the ship?" "Even if you go back to Romdeau... you're infected with the cogito and they'll simply have you destroyed." "Vince!" "Pino." "I'm helping out too." "Aren't I good?" "but we need things that look like this." "Roger." "what about this?" "Yeah." "And this one?" "Yep." "It's you." "I'm not going to hurt you." "it's about time we..." "You're Re-l's Entourage." "What are you doing with that gun?" "Where's Re-l?" "Re-l's going to kill you someday." "Why do you need her?" "Re-l's not safe in your hands." "Because you are destined to kill her." "Me?" "I can see... a hideous monster tormenting Re-l as she lies struggling in agony." "Vincent Law." "Stop playing games!" "Why would I kill Re-l?" "That look." "It's the same look you had when Re-l pointed the gun at you." "It's the look that tells me you're invariably going to kill Re-l." "My dear Re-l." "Where is Re-l?" "Re-l!" "Iggy..." "Vincent." "Now I can't kill you." "Re-l." "I lose." "I was..." "Re-l..." "Looks like it'll be able to fly somehow." "Re-l Mayer." "Look what you've done to me." "A woman like you isn't worth protecting." "But your death would make my life meaningless." "of all people!" "Re-l..." "Hey... all right?" "Iggy..." "It was hard for me." "But I wanted to be with you no matter what." "Re-l." "you good-for-nothing bitch!" "Re-l." "Don't hate me." "Iggy." "Re-l..." "Re-l Mayer!" "Re-l." "It's all right." "I know." "This is what feeling sad is." "Does the cogito... does it make you unhappy to know what sadness is?" "I think it probably makes me happy." "Why do you think that?" "I don't know." "I'm going to put some flowers on that girl's grave too." "Iggy... you could have left me and been free." "But you didn't." "Why?" "Re-l..." "What is it?" "What do you want?" "No... leave me alone." "Vincent!" "Why?" "You said you weren't going to shoot me for now." "So I'm giving it back to you." "Re-l?" "Vincent..." "That's all." "I still don't know who you really were." "But I'll try to figure it out someday." "I'm sorry." "Mirror on the wall..." "A phrase from an old familiar tale beckons us... to the fountain of illusions." "reflected... on the surface of a wavering mirror."
