===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...”
