MatayoshiKishibe! Give it up! You've got nowhere left to run!
KishibeYou're quicker than I thought, Detective Matayoshi.
KishibeErika, was this your doing? You're a vicious little scamp, aren't you.
Erika*Huff huff*....
KishibeOh dear! The real world can be so cruel, can't it? Could it be you haven't been doing your therapy?
KishibeOh, but of course you haven't. You don't want your poor brother to be indebted to me, do you?
KishibeBut going on as you are... Just how long do you think you'll last?
Erika...!
KishibeThe therapy you've been doing isn't a standard medical practice.
KishibeIt's actually an experiment based on our company's exclusive research. To be more precise, a human experiment.
KishibeThe project was only allowed to go forward with my special permission. That's what your "therapy" is.
KishibeThe system uses a high-security server in EDEN to monitor and share your mental data in real time.
KishibeBy managing the data flow, we were able to somehow lighten the burden on your brain.
KishibeIt's a therapy that no other company or medical institution can hope to imitate. Do you still wish to destroy me, little Erika?
Erika...What's wrong with you? Are you even human?
Kishibe...He he. In a way, I'm a "thing" just like you.
KishibeI have a physical body, but my memories rely on digital data. ...A warped existence. Like you.
Kishibe...The truth is that you find yourself disgusting, don't you?
KishibeYou're "human", but most of your consciousness has been digitized... Repulsive when you think about it, isn't it?
Erika...
KishibeYou think you've got me cornered, but I'm sorry to say you don't frighten me.
KishibeDragging that empty, heavy, pain-filled body around as you do, why should I fear you?
Erika...Here. Let me show you.
Erika...That's what real pain feels like!
ErikaStrong, isn't it? Not like the simulated pain response in EDEN.
ErikaThose are the signals a real human body sends out! Way stronger than the artificial electronic signals you're used to!
ErikaDon't you ever mock real human pain again!
Kishibe...I see. Thank you for the lesson.
Erika...Unh.
KishibeYou taught me well, so I'm returning the favor.
Erika...!
Police Officer...Um, shouldn't you stop them, Detective?
Matayoshi...A gentleman never gets between two ladies fighting.
MatayoshiAnd it's not 'cause I'm scared either, got me! Okay?!
PlayerYou're totally right, Detective! You'd get a vicious Memetan for your trouble! Girl fights are seriously scary!
Kishibe...Ungh.
Erika...Finished already? You're more of wimp than I thought...
KishibeHa... Don't be stupid.. You can't keep up with me...
Erika...?
KishibeThis is what's so repulsive about humans... But it doesn't matter. Soon I'll bid farewell to this body!
Player!!!
Erika...?! What are you doing?!
MatayoshiStop! Don't move!
KishibeForgive me, ladies and gentleman of the law!
KishibeTo accomplish my ultimate purpose, I cannot let you get in my way.
KishibeThis is where I leave Rie Kishibe behind.
Kishibe...Oh, Erika. Tell me one last thing.
KishibeWhere do you think your self truly resides? In the real world of flesh? Or the digital world of EDEN?
KishibeOr perhaps...you don't even feel that you have a self?
Erika...!
KishibeHa ha ha... Hee hee hee.
KishibeI want you to continue to tremble in fear in that space between what is real and what is digital.
KishibeAnd when that thin wall finally crumbles, what will happen to you then? I can't wait to find out!
