*smacks his hand away.* I'm not your Asch, dreck.

That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to wish for your well-being.

You aren't allowed to because I say you aren't.

You're not the boss of me.

You're still just a replica.

I'm not so sure that works out so well anymore after how things went.

For you and the Asch you know, but that is all you are to me.

That's not exactly what I meant... [frowns, then bites his lip]

Then quit dancing around what it is you mean and say it!

...

Ten years ago, Asch and I died and were brought back to life, as children.

...why?

Lorelei didn't think we should die, I guess. But... only Asch's body was left... he couldn't bring us back as we were...

Heh. So again you stole from him.

It wasn't my choice. And Asch yelled at me whenever I'd apologize for it... Lorelei wanted both of us to live, and he...

...

He'd... for me, he'd d-... ...He wanted me to live...

...he wanted you to live. What kind of fool would want the thing that stole their life to keep living?

I don't know...

...

Why are you telling me this?

...I don't want anyone else to ever have to feel that... the way it felt when Asch died. Like something's being torn right out of you, and then suddenly you're really cold, like you'll never be warm again... no one deserves to feel that. And... I wouldn't be able to stand it, if another Asch also...

So... just, please, be careful. Especially since, even if this isn't Auldrant, it's not entirely safe, either...

If I die, then I die. So be it. I risk my life with every mission I take. That is part my job as an God-General. And I'll say it only once more; I don't care about the replica.

Don't say that like it doesn't matter!

It does matter. Because he can't be trusted to take care of things.

That's not what I meant. Your life matters...

My life hasn't mattered for the last seven years.

Asch...

Enough.
