((Naoto's head is lowered, a single hand lifted to her neck. When she raises her head, the bandages that have disappeared from Haine's neck are now wrapped around hers. They slip on one side to reveal the metal collar embedded in her flesh. Her eyes are narrowed, cloudy.))

Haine...

If you ever touch me again, I'll slice you to ribbons. And I will

N-Naoto...

You too...

What happened to you?

Voice

[memento_blade]

Just stay away from me.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

What?

What did I do?

How am I supposed to stay away from you when you're obviously...

And what is that thing around your neck?

Voice

[memento_blade]

It doesn't matter what you did, it's what you are.

I mean it. I won't be able to stop myself. Not once it takes over.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

What I.. am? What do you mean?

What is it?

Naoto, I told you I'd do whatever I could to help you. And that doesn't include staying away from you.

Voice

[memento_blade]

Do you want to know what I did to the last man who touched me? He was like a brother to me...

This collar. Cerberus.

I told you to back off! The last thing I need is a stalker!

Voice

[rabies_shot]

S-Stalker?!

I'm just trying to help you!

What are you going to do? Hide in your room?

Voice

[memento_blade]

Your help will just get you killed.

Yes. And for every step you take towards me, I'll take three back.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

If you can kill me.

Fine. You want me to camp outside your door?

Voice

[memento_blade]

Be my guest. I won't be there.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

Where are you going?!

Voice

[memento_blade]

To see if there's any money to be made in this godforsaken place.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

There isn't any.

I already checked.

Voice

[memento_blade]

Well, you're sort of-- how should I put this.

Grade B material.

Voice

[rabies_shot]

.....

WHAT?!
