Help me. I feel like I'm on a freight train on a broken track and I'm going to crash.

You are doing everything you can to help me, but I don't know anymore. Everything has gotten so dangerous and I'm scared.

I remember when we started all of this. We were kids. I'm sorry I took you with me on this and that I've dragged everyone into it, but I had to try. I needed to try to have a life.

So, no matter what, thank you. Really.

People so rarely fight for each other. I know. You've put aside a lot of time and energy for me.

We've got one week. It might not be it, but even if it is, thank you.

I'm so upset I can't even process it. But at the end of it all- I'm still your brother and I love you.

[dashparker]

Thanks. I love you, too. I... I'm sorry.

[arthurwatson]

I can't hear, "I'm sorry" right now. But I guess I can hang on to it for a while.

[dashparker]

You can have it whenever you want.

I'm here. I'll be here.

[arthurwatson]

And I need you. I know I do. And I fucking wish you were enough.

*can hardly wait for the season finale*

[This man sure sounds like he's in a load of trouble! This girl has been through a lot of danger herself. Yet his problems distract Nana from her current mass of hardships. Her appearance--the pointed horns on the sides of her head in particular--may be a clue for him to be able to tell that she is not normal.]

It's good your Mun is kind to you. Yours must be trying so hard to help you be happy.

A week goes by so fast though! Will you be all right, Mister? This must be really, really dangerous, with whoever's after you...

[Better not be doctors, or killers with horns like Nana's. They're the worst!

His distress causes Nana to feel worried for him. He most definitely isn't a Diclonius like she is, but she believes he's struggling to be free of cruelty and confinement too. For a lot longer than she has. Why?]

[dashparker]

They are. They've done so much for me. I have my brother here and some of my friends, and it's meant everything to me.

I'm just not ready for what's next. It is dangerous, but that's not what I'm afraid of.

Do you know what it's like to just want to be free?

[imagoodgirl]

[She nods.]

Yes, I do.

It's better to not be alone... It hurts less. It's not as hard.

Your brother and friends will be able to help you, right?

[dashparker]

I think I may have ruined everything for them.

I didn't mean to. I thought- [Sighs.] I thought I was doing the right thing.

[imagoodgirl]

What happened?

Are they in danger, because of you?

[dashparker]

It's so complicated.

I think- Well, I know- I've put them all in terrible danger. My friends, my family... [Dash shakes his head, trying not to just point the blame on himself, but it's difficult given the perspective he can see it all from.]

[imagoodgirl]

So, you need to get away to protect them?

To save them?

[It's near impossible to block out some recent, terrible memories of hers at this point.]

[dashparker]

It may be too late.

I've spent my whole life not believing in destiny, but here I am. I feel like I've been on this path, locked into it somehow, for years.

You don't, um, you don't believe in destiny do you?

[imagoodgirl]

[Oh no... Too late? I don't understand. He's not a Diclonius. Why are they in danger?

When asked about destiny, her eyes lower.]

I don't know. I never thought...

[She shakes her head slowly.] I don't want to think losing Papa has had anything to do with...

[She looks back to the man, before she could allow herself to be upset about her parent being dead.] Why can't you be free? You look like a normal person. You're not like me.

[She has horns. He doesn't. And, they would have been able to sense each other presences within the area if he was like her.]
