...Honestly, I go to all this trouble to try to talk to you, and you're just going to kill yourself.

[Mad's giving you a tired look Yui... her finger twitched away from the trigger.]
Go away.... please... you probably don't need blood on you.

I thought about it, and I'm ready to tell you the truth. I think...right now, you may be the only person prepared to hear it.
So I'd like it if you handed me the gun.

[Mad...actually looked surprised at that... and a little confused. She handed the gun without a word though - looking listless.]
What truth?

...Stuff. It's not something I can speak about here, Dan's ears are everywhere.
Do you mind following me to a more private area?

[Ah yes, a touch of some pitch black humor as Mad would follow Yui around like a depressed puppy.]

She takes off her Modulator, then fiddles with the controls to get the Mobile Suit almost completely shut down-including the cockpit data recorder. The emergency lighting she has on is dim, and lends a dull red glow to their surroundings.]
...There. Now we're alone.

[Mad's tone was...somewhat tired at that... but... it was said in a way as if to ask her 'please hurry up'.]

There's a flaw with my brain.
[She mimes shooting it, then puts her hand back down.]
...I have a severely stunted sense of empathy. So when civilians start dying by the hundreds, I'm honestly more concerned about getting blood on my clothes than their lives. It's not anything too malicious, it's simply how I am.
Yet because of how I was born, it's considered socially acceptable to lock me in a prison or a mental institution for the rest of my life. There was another sociopath on this ship, once-they locked her in the brig until another one of her personalities assumed control.
I'm telling you this now because every single moment of every day I have to lie through my teeth if I want to have even the slimmest chance of getting along in human society. I have to think of what a normal person would say and say it, instead of what I actually feel ( ... )

[Mad stabs the knife... into the Chair waaay off from Yui, moves forwards and pulls the other girl close. Another hug. Yui? You recall when you were almost crushing the life out of Mad with that desperate hug of yours ages ago? Find yourself on the other end of it.]
I don't care. I honestly don't fucking care anymore. You've given me more goddamn honesty than anyone else... you could burn the fucking world for all I care...
[That hug gets just a little tighter as Mad nuzzles Yui's neck desperately - shivering as if she was left out in the cold half naked.]
I'm done... playing the hero... I'm done caring what's right or not... just promise me that you'll never lie to me again and I'll be with you to the end.

Yui... thank you...
[Mad whispered the name softly... and lovingly. The first time Mad has ever spoken in that tone of voice in her life.]
