An Avean Captain and a Heavy escort Jiro and Sunny, both handcuffed, through the halls of the facility.

—Jiro—
...




—Jiro—
You were supposed to leave me behind.

Sunny
* The plan was we leave together.
* What part of that did you not fucking get?

—Jiro—
...
The "plan" was dead.
I was trying to help you!!

Sunny
* You could have HELPED by STAYING ON THE FUCKING SHIP!!!

—Jiro—
...
Then what the hell were you trying to achieve!? You could have got away!
I gave you a chance and you just wasted it!!
This is pointless. You're never going to understand because you're just like the rest of them.

Sunny
* I'm not fucking dropping you, Jiro, I told you that!

—Jiro—
...
You've made a mistake
Why not?
I make a mistake every time I bother talking to you
I don't want to hear about how fucking important I am!

Sunny
* BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FUCKING FRIEND!

Jiro and Sunny are shoved into a holo-cage being pushed by a grunt, continuing their argument unabated. The Captain barks behind her as she and the Heavy leave.

  Avean Captain
Get these jokers out of my sight.

—Jiro—
...
Sure. You're right. You win.
Am I? Really?

Sunny
* Fuck is that supposed to mean.

—Jiro—
...
I'm sorry
You wouldn't get it.
There's no point arguing about this.
Your "friend" isn't real. You've been talking to the mask.

Sunny
* I'm sorry, do you think I'm fucking stupid!?
* No fucking shit you got more in the works than's on the surface, I know how to read between the fucking lines, Jiro!

—Jiro—
...
You think you're so smart
You're seeing who you want to see! That man you think you know isn't THERE!
I hoped you to see through it! I HOPED you'd be different, and you just got sucked in like everyone else!

Sunny
* And you know me so fucking well, huh?
* Is that it, your majesty!?
* You can read my soul all fucking day, but I'm just a vapid little bitch who couldn't find my tits if I looked down!?

Jiro and Sunny begin arguing outright.

—Jiro—
CLEARLY!!! If you had any sense, you wouldn't still be here!!

Sunny
* Fuck off with that shit, I'm here cause I know what I'm about!

—Jiro—
You're here because you fell for the same fucking trick as everyone else!!

Sunny
* You think you pulled one over ME!?

—Jiro—
Just GIVE IT UP already!!
LET ME GO!!

Sunny
* I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO!

—Jiro—
YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME!

Sunny
* WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME!?














Sunny leans against the wall of the cage and stares aimlessly out of it. Jiro looks to the back of her neck with a sympathy he can't seem to vocalise.


Sunny
* Fuck you.
* I care about you.
* You don't get a fucking say in that.



—Jiro—
...







With a click, the holo-cage Sunny was just leaning on falls away. She and Jiro jolt at the sound.

—Jiro—
!?

Sunny
* Wh-- what?


The grunt pushing the trolley is in front of them, just pushed a button on the trolley, glancing behind himself and visibly panicking.

  Avean Grunt?
Oh Helix. Oh Helix, this is a bad idea.
This is a bad idea!

Sunny
* What the fuck!!?
* Who the fuck are you!??

  Avean Grunt?
Look, I-- I have to get you out of here!

The grunt turns back to Sunny and Jiro and the words feverishly spill out:

  Glard Gorpnan
My name is Glard Gorpnan.
I've met your friend!
