It's almost that time again, huh...

Not to be selfish, but I don't suppose there's any way to get my chip out again...?

If you need any more help, Mr. Smith, give me a call. I don't think I'll be out of here anytime soon.

You... had it out before...

[An uncomfortable pause follows.]

Um... Why do you want your chip out, Mr. Wolfwood?

[Voice]

[church_man]

...

I don't like feeling so weak. That's all.

[heinesangel]

I don't think you're weak at all.

[Voice]

[church_man]

Hah... it's nice that you think that. But with this chip in, I'm normal. I hate that. I'm too used to this devil's body.

Is being able to live normally really such a bad thing?

[Voice]

[church_man]

I don't think I could bring myself to live normally, anymore.

Is there something in your past that you can't forget too? You sound just like Haine.

[Voice]

[church_man]

...Yes. My past, my present... and I don't see the future getting out of it either. Back home I'm already dead, so I haven't got one there anyway.

It's how I live, and I can't go back to how it was. It's been too late for that for a long time.

You can always change your future, Mr. Wolfwood.

I... don't know what happened to make you feel this way, but I hope that you can truly believe in that someday.

...When you've got something you have to protect, no matter what... then the only future you have is to protect it. And when there are bad men who take advantage of that... you just have to keep protecting it, even if that means you kill countless people on their behalf.

If those men ever showed up here, I would do what they told me to. If that ever happens... stay away. Pretend you don't know me.

Mr. Wolfwood... you... Even if this world is so different from the world you knew?

... Is that... really the only way? Can't they be stopped?

[[ooc Aw, Wolfwood~ TAT]]

[church_man]

This world may not be the same, but the basic rules of living aren't that different.

Some of them can be stopped. I lost my life stopping two of them. But there are always others, and the man at the top of that chain of monsters... nothing can stop him.

-No, there's one person that might have the power to stop him. But that guy... I don't think he has the guts to do it.

As long as that chain exists, the kids are in danger, and as long as I'm still breathing, I'll do what I have to. I don't want someone like you getting mixed up in that.
