I'm tired of having to share Clare.

...I don't understand what you mean, Teresa.

[smilingteresa]

As grateful as I am to have a second opportunity to be by your side, I would much rather be back in our own world, just the two of us.

[caledvwich]

I would rather not be back home, Teresa. Though I have things to accomplish, there, that can't be left unfinished, you wouldn't be there, and... I may have followed too closely in your footsteps.

[smilingteresa]

I don't mean that literally, I know it wouldn't be possible. What I mean is that if there were a way, I would like to be away from this city, these computers, and all the chaos. With you.

What do you mean by that?

[caledvwich]

I see. I would like that, also, though I'd rather not leave Raki behind.

To the Organization, I am dead.

[smilingteresa]

I wouldn't expect you to.

They believe you're dead?

[caledvwich]

...Does that bother you, Teresa?

Or they hope I am.

[smilingteresa]

I would rather you find happiness than have you to myself.

It's too bad I couldn't find such a convenient way to leave.

[caledvwich]

...You make my happy.

It is, I-... I hate that you died the way you did, Teresa. You didn't deserve to die at all, much less like that.

[smilingteresa]

I'm glad.

Perhaps I didn't deserve to die, but I've come to accept it. I died because of the way I had changed in the time I knew you, and I do not regret that change.

[caledvwich]

Thank you.
