Of course. He was always a good student.

However, you should have never lived for so long. Did you refuse to die?

...

I did die. But Asch refused to allow me to stay that way.

A shame.

I assume that if you're still alive, then you've must have spent a great deal of time meddling with my plans, haven't you?

For you, perhaps.

Long enough to be quite tired of your foolish attempts to create a replica world. Though we took care of you where I'm from.

Then I failed.

I'll be certain that you die when I return. I won't have you interfere.

To create the world you envisioned, yes.

Lorelai won't allow it. And if need be, I'll stop you here as well.

So you rather the world destroy itself? So be it. I won't show you any mercy, replica.

The world won't destroy itself. The Score is not absolute. My existence is proof of that.

And you have no right to call me that. Only Asch may.

You exist because a loophole in the Score allowed it; the Score speaks nothing of replicas, so your existence does not contradict it. However, the Score certainly speaks of the destruction of mankind. It's unavoidable.

You seem to have a high view of your original. Is he the superior?

The Score says nothing about ways to prevent destruction, so there may be other ways.

We're equals. I'm his and he is mine.

The destruction is written. It will be carried out, no matter what attempts mankind may make to avoid it. The originals will die, one way or another.

'Equals' you say? How have you earned the right to be considered an 'equal'?

It also says the Light of the Sacred Flame will go to the miners' city and die there. That never happened.

I don't have to "earn" anything. Being a replica does not make me less of a person.

The Light of the Sacred Flame would unleash a terrible power, killing herself in the process. There's nothing that says she would have to stay in Akzeriuth to die. There's still enough room for her to die later from the after-effects. You did die after all.

Hrmph. Such arrogance.

....nothing I say will change your belief that everyone must die, will it?

It's not arrogance if it is true.

All you have to offer me is words. Those alone cannot change my belief.

Don't think of yourself so highly. You were only created to die.

What is the point of killing the originals? You'll be the one making the Score come true if you do.

That may have been my reason for being born, but I have plenty of reasons for living now.

The originals will die whether I do anything or not. At the very least, I can ensure that the world survives without them.

Oh? What sort of reason could you possibly have?

What kind of world will it be without any kind culture or history?

I have people who love and depend on me.

One that will live on and create its own, as it should have been.

Hah. Don't make me laugh.

If what you say is true, shouldn't it just continue and be destroyed anyway?

I fail to see what could possibly be funny about that.

I'm afraid I don't understand. Do you honestly believe that a Score-chained world leading to destruction is preferrable to one with freedom and a future?

Love is just a false excuse people use to hold themselves back from doing what's necessary. You're weak if that's your reason for living.

No, I just don't see the world you describe as being free.

It can't be an excuse if there is nothing necessary to do. Love is what gives us the strength to live.

They would have no Score to decide their every action. They would be able to think for themselves and make their own decisions. How is that anything but free?

...How pathetic. You don't honestly believe that, do you?

Who is 'they'? The replicas you plan to create and leave as mindless pawns?

I do. Asch gives me a reason to hope, to be happy.

They will not be mindless pawns. They will be given the knowledge they need to survive on their own, and then they will do so. If you believe that being a replica makes you an equal, then why would you doubt that the replicas would be able to create a world of their own? Do you believe that they are inherently inferior?

I pity you. It must be hard to be so naive.
