[First, there's screaming, which happens to be Angeal as the communicator shows. Large, unhealed burns are all over the captor's body, some an angry red and a few still infected green. Kadaj sticks a dirty knife in one of them, the pus leaking out and onto the blade before he throws it down. More screaming ensues before Angeal begins to shiver

He needs a damn hospital Kadaj- STOP THIS.

[There's a loud clattering. Trash cans being hit and thrown over. He may be searching alleyways, looking through the back windows and open doors.]

Minato, I can't...

[purgatory_maren]

Yes you can- you have to. You do it now or one of us stops you- either way this is going to end. Why do you think this has to go on?

[adventlead]

Because you're done.

[purgatory_maren]

... No. I'm not. It's not like that.

Angeal needs help. Real help, Kadaj.

[adventlead]

Yes, you are.

You give it to him.

[purgatory_maren]

Done with what, Kadaj...

I can't if I can't find you. This is Enough!

[adventlead]

I'm tired of this.

[purgatory_maren]

... So am I.

[adventlead]

I want to disappear.

[purgatory_maren]

I don't want you to disappear. I wish I could do what I always do and tell you it'll get better, but you know that can't happen unless this stops.

[adventlead]

I miss you. I miss being on your side. I'll never have a chance again.

That isn't true, Kadaj... I've always told you that it isn't like that and I don't feel any different about it. There was never a side with us, but if this keeps up- [...]

...I miss you love you, even if I'm unhappy with your decision, but I can't think about those things right now. No matter how many times you say you're sorry, or that you miss me, you're not putting yourself any closer by doing this, are you? Let's make it stop, if you want it to stop, Kadaj...

[adventlead]

No, but your job is on a different side.

I want to but...then they'll kill me. I've ruined everything for you, haven't I. I'm sorry. I love you.

[purgatory_maren]

It's always been that way, but it hasn't changed us and it doesn't have to. If anything changes it's up to you and how you feel about it, I've always accepted you, even if I can't agree.

Nobody's going to kill you- I won't let them. You'll be with me and I'll keep you safe for once. You didn't... ruin everything. I made a mistake, too. I did more than trust you- I thought I could predict you. I should never have thought something like that, for a lot of reasons.
