[It's not all that unusual to see Asch walking around alone, mostly avoiding people. It is, however, probably unusual to see him walking around without his standard >\ expression, not to mention a red and gold jacket.

It's probably also unusual to see him looking over his shoulder so often almost like he's trying to make sure something isn't there.

Peculiar much?]

Then...

[ Urges him to go on. ] Then..?

Then... was he trying to warn me...?

More than likely. I've learned he cares for us a great deal. A constant source of annoyance.

...even Lorelei...

...start with the self-deprecation and I will either leave you here or silence you.

[off in his own world] Not just Asch... even Lorelei can... no, but, that was even before Asch could, wasn't it? Why...

...what are you talking about, replica? [ Tugs on a handful of hair. ]

Ow, hey...

[frowns] But... it wasn't just Asch who cold talk to me... and Lorelei could do it all along...?

Of course. We all share the same fonon frequency.

[yeah, fonon frequencies are still over his head] So, if... if Lorelei was trying to warn me... but that was way before Akzeriuth, too... does that mean Lorelei wants the Score changed, too...?

[ He should have known better. ] Lorelei did not seem pleased with the direction we were taking when it came to the Score. He and Yulia must have made that pact based on the feelings they shared for Auldrant, so it's unlikely he would have wished for so much damage to happen.

...I wonder if Asch already knows...

Akzeriuth has fallen, so I would assume so.

...

...Everything's really complicated, isn't it...

[ Nods. ] That is the reality of life.

[bites his lip]

Do you think we'll be able to do it?

...if you are diligent and have resolve.

I guess...

But... as I am now... I'm nowhere near strong enough to even dream of fighting Master Van. I... I have to get stronger... for everyone's sake. Even if they don't know it's me still. Even if I'll disappear forever when it's done. I'll get stronger so that we can do this...

Even...

Even 'their' dreams are on me. The ones I stole...

You still can him "master", do you? Changing that would be a step in the right direction. Killing a person who you respect is a lot more difficult than killing one who has lost all your trust.

...why would you disappear? Does your original plan to do away with you once you have served your purpose?

Still, he was my teacher...

...I... doing this is all that I have left. There's nowhere for me to return to, and no reason to make something new. If I can save everyone who's alive, if I can stop what's happening, maybe... maybe their deaths won't be as meaningless.

As he was mine, for longer than he was yours.

So after saving them from Van, you plan to just waste away? That would still sully their memory and the effort your original put into keeping you alive.

Don't make any mistakes here. I'm alive because he needs the extra set of eyes.

What other reason would he have to keep an annoying replica around?

And once this is fixed, that won't be necessary anymore. If I do this, I'll have... "atoned," I guess. I wouldn't mind it... truly dying, after that.
