Episode I
Conversations from Episode I.
Realian Maintenance Bay
Virgil: What’s learning about them going to do for you?
Caspase: Lieutenant Virgil!
[Virgil smells one of the Realians.]
Virgil: Their stench…
Shion: What?
Virgil: It reeks. I can’t get their rotten odor out of my system. Can’t you smell it? It makes me sick to my stomach.
Shion: Huh? What are you…
[Shion gasps when she saw the scar on Virgil’s face.]
Caspase: That’s enough! You got your orders from the Lieutenant Commander, didn’t you? One of the goals of this operation is to enhance combat support between the A.G.W.S. and the new-model Realians! And yet you’re…
Virgil: Support? Ha! In a battle against them, the last thing I want to worry about is supporting a bunch of untested Weapons-Grade Realians!
Shion: Umm… Excuse me, but these people are highly qualified soldiers…
Virgil: These people?! You’re treating equipment like people?
Shion: You really shouldn’t say things like that. These people have the same intellect and emotions as us. And the Miltia Charter clearly spelled out the basic human rights of Realians when it was ratified in 4763.
Virgil: What a load of crap… Get off your soapbox! You act noble and preach about humanity, but in the end, they’re just equipment as far as your company’s concerned.
[The camera views Virgil’s bangle.]
Virgil: Or maybe…more like merchandise…
Shion: We don’t treat them anything like equipment or merchandise!
Virgil: Then why do you categorize them as Weapons-Grade Realians? How much more evidence do you need than that? Whatever you care to call them, they’re nothing but tools of warfare. Besides, I know your little secret. You guys have an emergency override code to control them. Don’t you?
[Shion gasps when Virgil places his hand on her shoulder.]
Caspase: Virgil! Why are you…?
[A Realian appears at the scene.]
Virgil: Wh-what do you want?!
Realian: It is as you say, Sir. We are manufactured as merchandise, and raised accordingly. However, I take great pride in what I do now. And this pride was not forced upon me. It is of my own free will.
[Virgil feels sick and kneels to the ground as if about to throw up.]
Virgil: …Free will, huh… Well, good for you. You’d better just enjoy it while you can. The time’ll come soon enough when you’ll realize what’s going on. Just you wait…
[Virgil leaves the scene.]
Shion: Is he… A DME addict?
[Before Shion could leave the lab…]
Caspase: My apologies, Ms. Uzuki. He wasn’t always like that, but then… something… happened.
Shion: Is he an old acquaintance?
Caspase: We were classmates at the military academy. And I’ve been stuck with him since then. …It was Miltia.
Shion: I see… So… …that’s why.
The Gnosis Attack on the Woglinde
Announcement: Shifting to DefCon 1. Virgil, report your team to Sector D. Prevent the enemy forces from entering the reactor room.
[Virgil gets in the A.G.W.S.]
Virgil: Going into battle without an A.G.W.S. unit. What brave little soldiers they are… brings tears to my eyes… Well, let’s see how they do as shields.
Virgil: Walkin’ around like it owns the place.
[Virgil, the A.G.W.S. and the Realians take their own firing position.]
Virgil: It’s moving around randomly… Looks like it’s alone. This is insulting.
[Shion runs to the next area and when Virgil and the Realians saw her, they opened fire at her, but none of the gunshots hit her. Virgil and the Realians ceased fire.]
Virgil: Damn it!! You! What the hell are you doing here?!
[Shion struggles and saw the bullet marks on the wall.]
Shion: What do you think you’re doing? Those bullets could’ve killed me!
Virgil: What are we doing?! What the hell do you think you’re doing running around like an idiot?! We thought you were a Gnosis!!
Shion: Look, I got my own problems to deal with! Here I am getting attacked by the Gnosis… I’m getting lost at every turn, and, and… Don’t give me a hard time right now!
[Virgil points his A.G.W.S. gun at her.]
Virgil: What the hell?! Lost?! You’re the idiots who built this ship!
Shion: I’m not with the fleet design department! I wouldn’t know a thing about ships!!
Virgil: We’re on DefCon1 alert! What the hell is a civilian like you wandering around the ship for?!
Shion: Well, I’ve got an emergency! I’m worried about KOS-MOS…
Virgil: What the hell is KOS-MOS?! Never mind! Deal with it later! Just get to a shelter and stay put!
Shion: Believe me, if I could, I would!!
Virgil: Then why don’t you?!
Shion: I just told you! KOS-MOS is…
Virgil: Gaahh, shaddap!
A.G.W.S. Pilot: H…hey! They’re coming! Get back! Lieutenant!
Virgil: What! You think I’m deaf or something?! You… W-what the… H-hey…you!! Get away from the wall!!
[Suddenly, Gnosis appeared and destroyed some of the A.G.W.S.]
Virgil: Damn it!!
[Virgil’s people opened fire, but none of the gunshots have any effect on the Gnosis.]
Virgil: Stand your ground!
[Suddenly, a Gnosis approaches behind Shion and then…]
Realian: Shion!
[Realian saves Shion from the Gnosis.]
Realian: Are you okay?
Shion: Yeah, thanks.
Realian: That’s good. Shion, you need to get out of here. Just go down this corridor past Section E to the hangar. You know about the escape pods there, don’t you? Well, that’s where they are. Please use one and abandon ship immediately.
Shion: And you and the others?
Realian: We’ll hold them off here. You’ve got to hurry!
Shion: I can’t do that! I can’t run off by myself! We’ll have to leave together!
[The Gnosis continues to slaughter the Realians.]
Virgil: Fall back! Fall back!!
[One of the Gnosis possesses the destroyed A.G.W.S. and transforms into a powerful form.]
A.G.W.S. Pilot: No…!
Virgil: Can’t be…!
[The Gnosis opens fire at the A.G.W.S. pilot.]
A.G.W.S. Pilot: Lieutenant!!!
[The pilot’s A.G.W.S. is destroyed.]
Realian: Remember what we were made for!
Shion: Please…!
Realian: It’s all right. This is what we were born to do.
[Shion holds the Realian’s hand.]
Shion: But you’ll…
[Shion’s eyes become watery, as she feels bad about what will happen to the Realian.]
Virgil: You! What do you think you’re doing?! Get back here and engage the enemy!
Realian: Take care.
Virgil: Damn it!! Our weapons are useless… They’re not like those other bastards.
[Suddenly, one of the Gnosis is performing an FAE.]
Virgil: An FAE?! No!!
[The Gnosis self-destructs and blows up the A.G.W.S. and the Realians. Shion fell back and dropped a U.M.N. Virgil looks at the casualties.]
Virgil: Hornst?! Lester!!
[Suddenly, more Gnosis appear.]
Virgil: W-what… What do I do… I gotta stop them… There’s gotta be a way… But how…?!
[Virgil looks at Shion.]
Virgil: Hey you…
[Virgil takes the connection gear.]
Shion: What are you doing?! Give that back!
[Virgil gets out of the A.G.W.S. and takes the connection gear.]
Virgil: Quit your whining. I’ll give it right back.
[Virgil uses the connection gear.]
Virgil: Hey… They’re based on the 508 series, right?
Shion: So what if they are?!
Virgil: It’s been almost 14 years now. Since I returned from Miltia, that is. Out on the fields, I took apart so many of them to get what I was looking for. It was a lot of work, you know? What with that dual-stage protection they got and all…
Shion: Dual-stage… Lieutenant, you consumed their…neuro…
Virgil: But of course. They were quite delicious.
Shion: How could you…
Virgil: That’s when I found out about the control code. It’s quite a convenient function you put in there!
Shion: Huh?
Virgil: That’s right. I’m going to have these marionettes hold off the Gnosis for us. (activates the connection gear) Just…like…this!
[The Realians move mindlessly.]
Shion: Stop it! What do you think they are?! This is a clear violation of…
Virgil: …of their rights? That’s for peacetime, lady. You think I don’t know the Miltian Charter? Miltian Charter, Article Four, Paragraph 13… “Weapons-Grade Realians are required to be equipped with a remotely accessible behavioral limit and self-destruct system in case of emergency or malfunction.” “Use of these functions will be determined by the senior officer in charge of the situation.” …am I right?
[The Realians move towards the crater of the bridge.]
Virgil: Well, that time is now. And I am the conductor… (activates the connection gear) I intend to make full use of my orchestra!
[The Realians grabbed on to the Gnosis.]
Shion: Stop it! You have no right to play god with their lives! Using them as bombs…! I won’t let you do this!
Virgil: So whaddya gonna do about it? Tell me, why haven’t you disabled that function? Sure it’s factory-loaded, but you of all people shouldn’t have any trouble removing it. Since you care about them so much, all it would take is a little tweak, and they’d be free as birds… And yet you don’t. Why not?
Shion: Because… company protocol dictates…
Virgil: Exactly! It’s protocol! In other words, you’re just like me, bound by that protocol. We’re the ones that give them a reason to live. Am I wrong?!
Shion: But I…
Virgil: That’s the difference between us and them! Am I wrong?! So, why not give it to them? A meaning to their pitiful existence!
[Virgil activates the self-destruct of the Realians and they blew up the bridge and a couple of the Gnosis fell down. But suddenly, one Gnosis remains.]
Virgil: Son of a bitch!! (gets back in the A.G.W.S.) Out of the way! Move!
The Song of Nephilim
Albedo: Who’s the flower that blooms from those corpses? That’s right… It’s you… pêche. Everything is just as Mizrahi – your dear Daddy – wanted it to be.
MOMO: Daddy…?
Albedo: That’s right. Isn’t it, Rubedo?
Jr.: You bastard… Say any more and you’re… You’re gonna…
Shion: …pay for this! Those girls weren’t toys for your enjoyment! They were all individuals with will of their own! Yet you…
Voice of Hooded Man: Still spouting that self-righteous crap?
Shion: Huh?
[A bright light appeared from the ceiling.]
Albedo: The new guy?
[The hooded man appeared.]
Hooded Man: Stop screwing around. Hurry up and get the job done. Don’t waste your time on these fools.
[Albedo’s Simeon comes down.]
Albedo: Give him this message: It belongs to me!
Jr.: Hold it!!
[Jr. tries to stop Albedo, but the force field near the hooded man knocks him back.]
Hooded Man: Where do you think you’re going? Hey, why don’t you do me a favor and let him go for now. I’ll do my best to keep you entertained in the meantime.
Shion: Who…are you?
Hooded Man: Who? What does it matter? Or…do you need a name to describe me? A definition by words is merely a means to deceive oneself. It’s meaningless before the truth. What matters is how you perceive things. The slightest shift, then life and death no longer have any meaning.
Shion: Huh…?
Hooded Man: You don’t get it?
[Jr. gets up.]
Hooded Man: Well, how about I show you…
Jr.: Get out of the way…
Hooded Man: Hm?
Jr.: (extremely furious) I said, get outta my way!!
Hooded Man: Ah…you’ve got guts, boy. Why don’t you make me move? Shouldn’t be a problem for a U.R.T.V., now should it?
Jr.: You’re damn right!
[The hooded man transform to Ein Rugel. Shion’s group fights Ein Rugel. After Shion’s group defeats Ein Rugel, Ein Rugel transformed into Doppelwogel. After Shion’s group defeated Doppelwogel, the mist surrounded the area and then eventually, it disappeared.]
Hooded Man: It’s useless. The laws by which we are governed are just too different. Isn’t that right, boss?
[Shion’s group said nothing.]
Hooded Man: Well, then… I think our friend has already left. And it’s about time for me to make my exit. I have a busy schedule to keep…
Shion: Wait! What are you trying to accomplish?! Why did you come here?
Hooded Man: You wanna know? Then come to that time, to that place… You know what I mean…
Shion: Huh?
Hooded Man: I’ll be waiting for you, Shion.
[The hooded man disappeared.]
Prior to Proto Merkabah
Hooded Man: That bastard! Summoning needless toys… You forgotten you duties, haven’t you…
Unknown Voice: Never mind that. Come back, Virgil.
[The hooded man reveals himself and it is Virgil.]
Virgil: What’s your problem? I don’t take orders from you. And stop talking inside my head like that! I’m not used to it yet!
Unknown Voice: I’m afraid you’ll need to get used to it.
Virgil: That’s…
[Images of KOS-MOS and Shion appeared around Virgil.]
Virgil: So that’s quite what this is all about… You’re quite the cunning little bastard… All right, then… But next time, I’m doing things…my way.
Unknown Voice: …That’s what’s intended.
Episode III
Conversations from Episode III.
Land Where the Saint Sleeps
[The scene opens with Red Testament standing in a tomb, next to a casket. The lid of the casket is slightly open, and whatever's inside of it is glowing with a bright white light. There is a cross-shaped rock formation behind him. Suddenly, Blue Testament's voice is heard.]
Blue Testament: Looks like things are going smoothly.
[Three figures appear a short distance from the stone casket. They are the Blue Testament, the White Testament, and the Black Testament. Red Testament remains silent.]
Blue Testament: Tch. You're as friendly as ever.
[Blue Testament walks forward to stand beside the casket, and addresses the Red Testament again.]
Blue Testament: Well, you sure are pulling out the big guns. Do we really need this thing?
[It is clear that Blue Testament is referring to whatever lies in the stone casket. The Red Testament turns his head to speak to Blue Testament.]
Red Testament: The space-time anomaly fifteen years ago took place in an incomplete fashion. We must correct the errors.
[Blue Testament 'hmph's.]
Blue Testament: So, you knew all along, huh? You're one scary guy. I bet you can't wait to see the look on her face when she finally knows everything.
[Red Testament turns back to peer into the casket again.]
Red Testament: ...
[Blue Testament turns to the casket now.]
Blue Testament: So, this is our princess?
[Blue Testament leans in to sniff at the open crack of the casket, then straightens.]
Blue Testament: She smells good. I've fallen in love already.
Hypersphere
Blue Testament: So, what are you gonna do with them? Are we just going to let them go?
Roth: That's a foolish question. As we've observed, the compass swings sharply when Shion comes into contact with KOS-MOS. The Thirteenth Key. Even without our intervention, they will reach that location.
Blue Testament: I guess everything followed the destined flow, huh. Don't tell me you knew this was going to happen from the beginning. Ooh... scary, scary.
Rennes-le-Chateau
Blue Testament: You sure are infatuated with her. Is it regret from the time when you still wore a mantle of flesh? Or is it because of ambition you still hold?
Roth: ...
Blue Testament: Heh, so, now you're going to use the daughter in place of the imperfect mother? The Maiden who invites the spreading Gnosis. You're one heartless bastard. And it's not like you don't know what this is going to cause.
Roth: It is necessary for the new world. Is your cloak just a decoration?
Blue Testament: Hmph, I don't like the idea of that thing as the womb, but whatever. I'll give you a hand. We just need to destroy KOS-MOS, right?
Roth: It is beyond your power. The only one who can destroy KOS-MOS is T-elos.
Blue Testament: Oh, really? So I guess my job is to attend to the princess's little whims. Works for me. I'll lead the entourage.
Shion: Look out!
Blue Testament: Hey! What do you think you're doing?! Don't you know it's rude to come into someone's home uninvited!
Jr.: Testament?!
Shion: You! You were in the Song of Nephilim.
Blue Testament: Oh, so you remember me? Well, isn't that nice. I find that
rather interesting. You see, I remember you, too. I
remember that you let me die!
Shion: But, Lieutenant Virgil! How?!
Virgil: Now don't get all sentimental on me. It's not like I've
been hiding out here in this dump all this time just so the
two of us can talk about old memories. Hardly! No, I've got
business to attend to with your craft!
Shion: Wait, Lieutenant! You're right! It's true th-that... that
was--
Virgil: Like I've told you before, all your self-righteous crap
makes me sick!
MOMO: Jr.! Look at the letters on the wall!
Virgil: Damn! It's already started.
Jr.: Wait! What's going on?!
Virgil: You were riding them without even knowing about that? Oh,
whoops. And you're still "compelled" to ride them now,
huh? Now that really is funny!
Shion: What are you talking about?!
Virgil: It's quite simple! That is the kind of place this is, to
those Vessels of Anima that you're using.
Shion: To the Vessels of Anima?
Jr.: What the hell are you talking about?!
Virgil: Come on. You're not very bright, now, are you? Why don't
you just try using your heads a little for once?!
Virgil: Heh! Well this is interesting. I guess there's just too
many of you.
Shion: Lieutenant, you died. You're supposed to be dead. So how--
Virgil: How did I get here? Is that your question? Am I alive or am
I dead? It doesn't really matter. That isn't even
important. Then again, it's not something that I would
expect you to be able to understand.
White Testament: Oh, please. Enough babbling nonsense, partner.
Virgil: What's this?! Is the new kid coming to crash the party?
White Testament: The time has come! Or, what? Were you planning on staying
here forever?
Jr.: Th-that voice! A-Albedo? Hey, wait a minute! Albedo! It's
you, isn't it?! Did you forget about me?!
Shion: Vessel of Anima! Why? You mean you pilot E.S.s as well?!
Jr.: No, wait Albedo! What?! What the hell?! Damn! The E.S.
isn't responding!
Ziggy: Neither is mine. The energy gain is dropping. It's going to
shut down!
MOMO: Output still dropping! It's no good. Unable to sustain
current levels!
Virgil: That's what I tried to tell you! Like I said before, that's
the kind of place this is. Oh well. Good luck figuring it
out!
The Miltian Conflict
Jin: Hmm. You're recovering smoothly, but you should stay in bed
for a while longer.
Virgil: Like I needed your help. Who the hell are you people? You
aren't U-TIC and you aren't Federation, but you act damn
suspicious for mere civilians.
Jin: I told you, you need to get some rest. We can't reveal who
we are for various reasons, but we aren't your enemy.
There's no need for you to cause yourself unnecessary
stress. Shion?
Shion: Wha--y-yeah, I brought Shion!
Jin: Oh, r-right. Wh-what brings you here?
young Shion: Um, here!
Virgil: Wh-what? Flowers? For me?
young Shion: Yeah, they bloomed real pretty. It's so you'll get well!
Virgil: What? You've got to be kidding. I don't need them.
young Shion: You won't take them?
Virgil: Ah, uh, th-thanks.
young Shion: You're welcome! I hope you get better soon!
Virgil: Dammit, this isn't me.
Shion: Heh heh heh.
Virgil: What are you laughing at?!
Shion: I'm sorry. It's just, you looked so different from when we
first met.
Virgil: Well, excuse me for looking silly holding some flowers.
Shion: Not at all. You look good with them.
Virgil: Damn it.
Febronia: Sounds like you're having fun.
young Shion: Feb!
Shion: Febronia...
Febronia: I'm glad you recovered.
Virgil: Don't come any closer to me, Realian!
Shion: Virgil?!
Virgil: That's a U-TIC Realian. Do you know how many of my comrades
have died because of them?!
Shion: Virgil, stop it. She saved your life!
Virgil: I didn't ask for that! It makes me sick, thinking I've got
a part of you in me! If I could move right now, I'd kill
myself.
Shion: Virgil! That's enough!
Virgil: This is none of your business.
Febronia: Please don't say such sad things. Everyone worked so hard
to save your life. Please don't speak so lightly about
throwing it away.
Virgil: What would a Realian know about the value of human life?!
Febronia: It's true that I'm a Realian. We were created to serve
human beings. My sisters are going through painful
experiments for that purpose. But I feel no hatred for
human beings, because it is the proof that we exist.
Virgil: Give me a break. A proof you exist? That's just how you've
been programmed.
Febronia: It's fine if you feel that way. But my feelings right now
are more than just a program.
Virgil: Huh? Your feelings?
Febronia: I want you to live.
Virgil: I'm starting to feel sick. I'm gonna sleep.
Shion: Feb...
Febronia: We would never want people to suffer.
Shion: I know. We'll come to understand each other someday.
Febronia: Oh, good, you ate it. Did you like it?
Virgil: ...
Febronia: You look like you'll be well enough to go outside soon.
Virgil: That kid's not here today?
Febronia: Shion? She went to pick flowers.
Virgil: Oh. You mind if I ask you something?
Febronia: I'll do my best to answer.
Virgil: Why did you save me? I'm your enemy.
Febronia: I guess you are, but that has nothing to do with me. I just
wanted to save you. I didn't care about anything else.
Virgil: That doesn't make sense. I came to this planet to dispose
of you Realians. You could be executed for saving me.
Febronia: All that mattered to me was saving you.
Virgil: I don't understand that at all.
Febronia: Is it really that strange to want to save someone's life?
Virgil: I've been ordered to kill Realians. To a soldier, orders
are absolute.
Febronia: There's nothing more important than life. Isn't that true
for both soldiers and Realians? I want you to live. And
because of it, we are here, together.
Virgil: ...
Febronia: Why don't you get some sleep? You need to regain your
strength.
Virgil: Don't tell me what to do.
Febronia: Okay.
Virgil: The food was delicious.
Febronia: I'm glad you liked it.
Febronia: Are your wounds healed?
Virgil: Yeah. It sure is noisy outside. Did something happen?
Febronia: It looks like there's a battle going on.
Virgil: A battle? The Federation descent operation! You aren't
going to fight?
Febronia: I'm not made for combat. But if necessary--
Virgil: I've seen Realians fight numerous times. I was taught that
that's what they do. That they'll kill even children
without any hesitation.
Febronia: Unless instructed, Realians won't kill people or each
other. It is you humans who issue that order.
Virgil: So it's all the work of human beings, huh. You feel
different than the others somehow, different from normal
Realians.
Febronia: It's because I'm half-human.
Virgil: Half-human?
Febronia: Oh, Shion. What's the matter?
young Shion: Febronia! The sky... and the people!
Virgil: They're Combat Realians! This is bad. They're out of
control! Stop!
Febronia: Please take Shion and get away from here.
Virgil: No! You can't reason with them!
Febronia: It's all right. Don't worry about me. Hurry!
Virgil: Febronia! Stop! Don't! Get out of my way! Get away from
her!
Febronia: Run...
Virgil: Febronia! Stop it! Stop it! You bastards! This isn't what
you were supposed to do. Stop it, all of you! You're no
better than us! Hey, you think you can run? Can you run?!
Good girl. Now go! Get as far away from here as you can.
But don't go to the city. Here, use this key. You can get
to Labyrinthos from the forest. Go back to your family. You
understand? Good. Now go!
Shion: Virgil!
Virgil: Don't come any closer! You've gotta get away from here!
Shion: Feb?
Virgil: Why are you just standing there?! Leave now! HURRY!
Virgil: Dammit. Dammit! You fool.
Shion: Get a hold of yourself! Feb died to save you! Now, stand
up!
Virgil: Dammit. Dammit! Shion!
Shion: What?!
Virgil: Realians can share information, right?
Shion: Yes, they're capable of sharing the information from
individual units.
Virgil: Shion's in danger. I have to save her.
Shion: The girl...
Virgil: I gave her the key to the old gate to Labyrinthos and sent
her running. They probably sent that information to the
others! I have to catch up to her! She's in danger!
Shion: Okay. Grab on to me!
Virgil: Thanks.
Shion: Virgil, why did you decide to help Shion?
Virgil: Is there something strange about that? I'm a soldier, but
I'm still human. I have a heart. I'm not like those Realian
cannibals!
Shion: Ohhh.
Virgil: What's wrong?
Shion: Take this.
Virgil: What is it?
Shion: It's the Realian self-destruct code.
Virgil: How do you have that?!
Shion: I can't tell you that, but it could come in handy. Only use
it as a last resort.
Virgil: All right.
Jr.: Damn it! There are already enemies in front.
Virgil: Damn, it's them!
Ziggy: Shion, we're surrounded!
Jin: Shion, this way. There're fewer enemies in front. We'll
break through!
MOMO: Shion, hurry!
Shion: Just a little further! Hang in there!
Virgil: Leave me behind. I'm in no shape to run. I'm just going to
slow you down.
Shion: Come on, Virgil. Don't quit on me. We both know that's not
like you.
Virgil: Heh! Not like me, huh? You got that right!
Shion: Virgil! What are you doing?! Open up the door, now!
Virgil: Please! Just promise... that you'll protect her.
Shion: Don't be stupid, Virgil! You are coming with us!
Virgil: You know something? Even after all of this, I never got
your name.
Shion: Virgil! Virgil. No...
Virgil: How moving. That was so touching.
Shion: Virgil! Huh?!
Virgil: They did a number on her, huh? Now she's just an object.
Oh, wait, she was already just a tool to begin with.
Shion: How can you say that? She was trying to protect you.
Virgil: She decided to do that on her own and then died on her own.
Why should I be responsible?
Shion: Virgil!
Virgil: And what about you? You love to go on about Realian rights,
but you gave me that code. What made you change your mind?
Shion: I-I wanted to save you, so I--
Virgil: So you decided to off the Realians?
Shion: No! It's not like that!
Virgil: What are you embarrassed about? That's basic human
instinct. Humans are driven by impulse to destroy.
Destruction serves as a way to feel out others and confirm
your own existence. Then you try to find atonement to
comfort yourself after you're unable to deny your
instincts. I tried to live exactly like that. And you've
lived for that same purpose! You disassembled Realians and
dreamed of giving consciousness to inorganic matter.
Comforting yourself for the hatred towards your father and
anger over your mother's death. You're doing things you
don't want to do, just to escape your own feelings of
guilt. "Hypocrite"...the word doesn't even begin to
describe you. Be more true to yourself!
Shion: What makes you think you understand me?!
Virgil: Oh, I understand you. Because you and I are the same kind
of person. What is it that drives you?
Shion: Ha!
Virgil: That's right. Revenge. Only revenge drives you and me and
that's the truth. Ideals crumble easily. Hope is like a
mist before the morning sunrise of reality. That's exactly
how I was. But then I learned. Nothing will change. There
is a limit to will, the limit of this world in which
everything is closed. Yes, that is what all of us came to
understand.
Shion: Stop! I don't want to hear anymore! Virgil, you protected
me as a child and now... Why do you do these things to tear
at my heart? Why do you Testaments appear before me?! Why
won't you leave me alone?!
Virgil: Come on, now, that's not what you really feel. You're glad
I still exist. You're happy he still exists.
Shion: N-no, I--
Virgil: Come. Come, and you will see. Then choose! Choose what you
truly desire! You met him! He's with us!
Shion: I don't understand. He was a Testament. I can't just
suddenly accept that!
Virgil: That's not what your will is saying. Your heart throbs for
him. You feel passion for him. You want to see him, don't
you? He wants to see you, too.
Shion: Stop it! Stop talking to me!
Jin: Shion! You mustn't listen to him!
Virgil: Don't be foolish. This doesn't concern you. Just keep quiet, and stay out of my way!
Febronia: Please, stop. Please, don't confuse Shion any more.
Virgil: Wait, what is this? Just who the hell do you think you are
showing up now?
Shion: Oh, Feb!
Febronia: Luis, why do you reject the truth? You can't change
anything unless you accept... who you really are. You're
the same as those who lost their bodies and wander
aimlessly.
Virgil: Heh! You're no different, either. You're just like me, now
that you've lost your body.
Febronia: Please. You must accept who you really are. You don't hate
anyone. You just want to reject yourself, because you can't
feel hatred.
Virgil: You don't know anything about me!
Febronia: But, I do understand you. And you have come to understand
us Realians as well.
Virgil: And this was the result. Yeah, I came to understand, all
right. I understand how pointless it all is!
Febronia: Luis...
Virgil: Enough talking! Do you really think that I'm still hanging
onto you?! I feel nothing for any of you Realians!
Febronia: That's not true, and you know it, Luis. You have returned
to this place for a reason. You chose to become a
Testament, so you could return here. Because this moment
proved who you once were.
Virgil: This is my reason? This is my proof? Don't make me laugh. I
regret absolutely nothing. I am here precisely because I
have finally accepted myself and this world! Those of you
who reject this world, you could never understand!
Febronia: We do not reject this world. We just want to believe in a
new order that can be born from discord. We just want to
believe that a single thought can change the entire world
and shape the future.
Virgil: That is just wishful thinking. You're only clinging to what
little hope you have left!
Febronia: Anything can come true, if you wish for it to. Didn't our
relationship prove that, Luis?
Virgil: You died and left me! I have nothing to say to you!
Febronia: I know, you have suffered. My death tied your consciousness
to this place. But I want to help you, Luis. I want to free
you from this cursed place forever!
Virgil: Just leave me alone! You're already dead, Febronia!
Febronia: Luis. Although my body is dead, I am still here with you. I
am right beside you. There's no reason for you to suffer.
Virgil: But I- I couldn't even save you.
Febronia: No. You're wrong. You did save me. You taught me that by
sharing all of our feelings that we would be able to change
the world. And that alone was more than enough.
Virgil: Do you hate me? None of this would have ever happened... if
you hadn't gotten involved. Why did you have to, why? It's
too much to bear. All I want- all I really want... is for
you...
Febronia: Let's go now, Luis. She can show us the way... to a future
for both Humans and Realians.
Shion: No Feb, wait! What am I- What am I supposed to do now!?
Febronia: Shion. I know it may be painful for you. But the time has
come now for you to decide that for yourself. Don't worry.
Keep carrying on. Just carry out what you believe in your
heart. Have faith. Believe in yourself. Open your heart
because she's right beside you.
Shion: Feb! Please don't go! Feb! No! I don't understand anything
anymore.
Febronia: Thank you, Shion.
