[When the camera comes on, Rei's expression is totally devoid of the normal surprise or aggravation of a new arrival. She is standing beside the fountain in front of the mansion, still wearing her entry plug suit.]

I do not know how I am alive. [Her voice is soft and monotone.] This place is not Tokyo-3. Explain where I am and how I came to be here. Is the Commander here? Or the Third Child?

[She pauses for just a moment, then adds] Please respond.

That sucks. But you're back to the living here, so it doesn't matter.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

It was necessary. I will be replaced. I do not regret it.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

..Replaced?

[second-first.livejournal.com]

Yes. My life was not valuable.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

...I don't know anything about you, but a life is a life and I think they're all valuable. ...In someway.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

[She's silent for a moment.]

Most lives, yes.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

...then what sorts aren't? That's stupid.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

It isn't stupid.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

To think that some lives aren't valuable? Yeah it is.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

[She just looks at him. There's no point in arguing what is fact.]

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

[ unhappy stare back ]

What.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

As you said, you don't know anything about me.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Obviously since I'm not psychic or anything.

But what does that have to do with lives being valuable or not.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

You don't know me, and so you don't know why my life is not valuable.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. Any lives are valuable. That's what I try to think.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

You may think whatever you like.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

Of course.


............ You're pretty weird.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

I've been told that.

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

....But I don't dislike it.

[second-first.livejournal.com]

[She just looks at him. It really makes no difference to her if he likes or dislikes how weird she is.]
