Now that the supplies in this wretched place seem to be being replenished again on a regular basis, the next area of concern should be what one is meant to do for entertainment. After all, I cannot go about my usual business in this world, and I am unaccustomed to having unlimited amounts of leisure time.

The library seems to be an adequate source of entertainment; though I'll admit I've hardly had the chance to explore it thoroughly, there seem to be a great deal of novels there, if not much else.

You would turn your back on me - and do not argue with me upon this point, because both you and I know that this is what you did - and you have moved beyond the need for the name Von Karma. You have moved beyond the need to use that whip as a crutch the way I presume you still do - quite honestly, you act like a child with a security blanket, and I was tolerant of it when you were younger because I did not want to see you fail upon the pressures society ladled upon you.
It is my opinion that the whip represents who you were and not who you are, because the girl I knew would never act in the way you have to me. Whether you consider this either a good or a bad thing is entirely up to you - you have made ( ... )

You claim to be ‘somewhat proud’ of who I’ve become, yet in the same breath remind me of how I’ve done nothing but disappoint you - these two statements, when put up against one another, would seem - to most people - inconsistent at best.

My whip may very well, as you say, act as a crutch, and yes, perhaps the family name was performing a similar function - however, I’ve recently thought that perhaps I am not alone in using the latter as such.

Despite whatever it symbolized to whomever then, what really matters is what it symbolizes to me, now, and instead of it representing who I was or who I am, it represents what I strive for - (another short pause) - and what I stand for, which has always been, and will continue to be, the prosecution of those who commit criminal acts.
(And that, in its strictest sense, is true - though there have been significant changes to her opinions on the matter regarding the execution of such and the nuances of the system, that is what it (prosecution, at least - living up to the family name has, of course, been about something else entirely) has always been about to Franziska.
She continues:)And if you have truly washed your hands of me, as you claim to have done, then surely you will understand if I do not continue to hold myself up to the standards that defined the name that you ( ... )

Maybe, one day, she will have that experience. It is, somewhat regretfully, that he realises that he'll never be a part of it. He wants no part of it - he does not want to be reminded of her - no, his failures, every time he looks upon them, cannot bear to see what his family name has become ( ... )

What would you have me say to you?

Even if I had conceived of some specific desired response, it would not hold much worth if I had to state it outright.

[He doesn't know either - a possibility which had frightened him - but he almost expected Franziska to have some manner of trick up her sleeve, to utilise his vulnerability to her advantage.]
...Maybe I was wrong.

It is not the sort of statement that one heard pass his lips often, though this certainly seemed the day for unlikely conversations; wrong about what, though, was the question here - his answer could go either way, and she is apprehensive, afraid to push the already-delicate balance currently existing between them, so she remains silent and waits for him to continue.)

Every time I think you've stopped being foolish, you only act in such a way that disappoints me further.
Reply
And how, precisely, am I being foolish now?
Reply
You're acting like a child; not to mention I have, unfortunately, come to expect far too much from you. I thought that despite your continual failures, you had some chance of redemption - but as I said, it appears that was an erroneous conclusion.
Reply
Then it appears that we have both made a grievous error, for I admit that I foolishly thought the same of you.
(...)
And I doubt that your idea of redemption would belong to any set of standards to which I'd consider holding myself, anyway.

You have no business talking of matters that you do not fully understand.
