===Saved for another death?=== | |||
“Can you help me?” | |||
: “...” | |||
“Come on.” | |||
: “In the past I was a way to selfless. -- It didn't really pay off.” Turn to side, turn face to face again. | |||
: 'Strange but still...' | |||
: “Just give me a reason why I should help you.” | |||
: “I've my own problems to care about, you know.” | |||
“No, I don't know. But if I hadn't save you there wouldn't be anymore problems for you.” | |||
: “So, you are owning my life now or what?” | |||
“...” | |||
: “Am I now supposed to be grateful to someone who saved me for his own sake.” | |||
“I could have used your bike without asking.” | |||
: “Are you sure? It starts only with my finger print. Biometrics...” | |||
“Maybe I should cut it off then?” | |||
: “Okay, I guess we could continue this all day.” | |||
“Gah...” | |||
: “You didn't know about the starter, so you really saved me for no bigger reason.” | |||
“Is this also something bad?” 'Excuse me I did...' | |||
: “No, it's okay!” | |||
: “Heh. For now I'm glad you aren't one of those bigheaded girls.” | |||
The two started to drive. | |||
: “Those really piss me off.” | |||
“You don't know me...” | |||
: “Yes, actually not.” 'But I got an idea of you.' | |||
“>Actually not< ...”<br> | |||
“Whatever... Shouldn't I be the one driving, you're hurt.” | |||
: “No way. It's my machine...” | |||
“Boys and their bikes...” | |||
: “Hey! The point is, among us, I know this machine best, so I should be driving.” | |||
“A hurt, unreasonable boy...” | |||
: “I prefer to call it stubbornness.” | |||
“And because of this we will die both stuck in a tree.” | |||
: “Haha, don't make me laugh or we will really.” | |||
“...” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “You didn't use that SMG for the first time, right?” | |||
“How could you tell?” | |||
: “I'm a proud owner of two eyes ...” | |||
“Yes, you are ...” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “So you are an opposing soldier, an agent?” | |||
: “Will you shot me when all we reached the coordinates?” | |||
“If you don't run off at the mouth. Maybe.” | |||
: “Huh. That's twisted. You saved me to kill me later.” 'You won't do it.' | |||
Pointing the SMG at his head.<br> | |||
“Well, do you have death wishes? If not stop it.” | |||
: “...” | |||
: After some more turns avoiding trees. “Back then, I had.” | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“And now?” | |||
: “I think I will stay some longer and see how this is going to end.” | |||
“You mean the poisoning atmosphere?” 'Right, he hasn't a Chrysalis.' | |||
: “You are not concerned about it?” | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“I won't give up just because of a bit dirty air.” | |||
: 'Was this really a joke?' | |||
: In an ambiguous tone: “Yeah, right.” | |||
“You know what? I don't like people who hang their heads.” | |||
: “What?” He turned around. | |||
“Man, keep your eyes on the track!” The bike was doing a slight turn to avoid a tree. | |||
: “Sorry. -- I guess it was some kind of reflex.” | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“You were stunned because you thought I could mean you. So you had some more self-confident ... back then .. hm?”<br> | |||
“Maybe you are going back to normal.” | |||
: “Back to normal... At this time?” | |||
“It might be the perfect time to start over. The world is going to change completely. Claim your place.” | |||
: “Before someone else does...” | |||
: “Is this really it?” | |||
“What do you mean?” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “It's thought that every human has the right to live on once he comes into this world.” | |||
: “Saying >claiming your place now< looks like putting egoism on a level equal to >doing it whatever the consequence<. If everybody works together much more might be able to survive.” | |||
: “John F. Kennedy said once that they choose to fly to the moon not because it was easy, but because it was difficult.” | |||
“That's too idealistic for the situation.” | |||
: “Maybe because you want to believe it?” | |||
“I know it.”<br> | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“It's not the majority that matters or decides.”<br> | |||
“You wouldn't stand the people who want this.” | |||
: “Sick.” | |||
: “Actually I don't care much about this world, but it's still sick.” | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“What where you doing in the forest.” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “Would you believe me if I say >geo chaching<?” | |||
“What that” | |||
: “An out-door adventure game. You search for caches, they can be hidden everywhere.” | |||
“In the wilderness...” | |||
: “Before the >blow out< event in 2023, the majority of geo caches were hidden in the wilderness.” | |||
“This doesn't explain why you were doing it ... at this time ... outside.” | |||
: “...” | |||
: "Guess, maybe you can find out." | |||
: “...” | |||
: “Not telling lies but hiding the truth is also a lie. Isn't it?” | |||
: “That's what politicians and wannabes does all the time.” | |||
: “Few days ago they still said: >don't panic<.” | |||
: “>Don't panic<, my ass.” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “Let's talk the truth. Here and now.” | |||
: “Deal?” | |||
“Deal.”<br> | |||
“...” | |||
: “...” | |||
“...”<br> | |||
“I'm a syndicate soldier as you suspected.”<br> | |||
“And I'm not really concerned about toxins or whatever because I received a genetic >upgrade< known as Chrysalis.” | |||
: “...” | |||
: “Is that's why your face look so weird?” | |||
“...” | |||
“No, that's something else.”<br> | |||
“Because of this, I was told I would die soon.” | |||
: “I couldn't believe you were telling me some truth. But since you die, it won't matter anyway?” | |||
“No!” | |||
: “...” | |||
“I don't believe everything I'm told, that's why I'm here, that's why I'm still alive, and that's why I will survive. Even this state of my current self.“ | |||
: “Wow. That sounds optimistic. Do you think they will let use an >assembler<?” | |||
“A what?” | |||
: “Maybe you know it as >bioprinter<. It can restore biological tissue.” | |||
“I don't think that...” | |||
: “...” | |||
“Don't worry. That's my problem.” | |||
: “I'm sorry.” | |||
“What?” | |||
: “My behavior from before.” | |||
“Forget it.”<br> | |||
“Spare your good sides for later. This is an all out.”<br> | |||
“Talking of this, you can't be for Kennedy and at the same time not care about the world.”<br> | |||
“Make a decision.” | |||
: “Claimed...” | |||
