Someone else will have to help me decide... -------------------------------------(67)------------------------------------- Compiler: Assembler, can you hear me? You're guilty of being a woman, I guess Toshi loved you too, though don't ask me why. Why did you have to go and do a stupid thing like that... You really are a big idiot Did you... know? About becoming human... You shouldn't have, though. Or were you even prepared to die to become human, I wonder, Assembler The only way you could become human... It's said that a Routine, having died, must then be reborn... -------------------------------------(68)------------------------------------- Interpreter: And they say that rebirth requires the power of two other Routines Compiler: !! Interpreter... Interpreter: Let's do it, Compiler It's what Assembler would have wanted. Compiler: I know Goodbye, Assembler Next time we meet... You won't be one of us... Ordinary human girl... -------------------------------------(69)------------------------------------- Sfx: ~Zaaaaa~ (Rain) -------------------------------------(70)------------------------------------- Interpreter: What do you say, Compiler? Compiler: Hmm. We might not have succeeded... Interpreter: No way... Toshi: Brother... I'd like to be alone with Assembler, so... Nachi: Mm, aah... I understand. -------------------------------------(71)------------------------------------- Toshi: Assembler Can you hear me? I still can't believe you'd die Assembler... Because this thing happened because of me... I'm sorry I really like you, love you, Assembler Before I knew it, I couldn't think of anything but you But... Before I discovered that... I was afraid... a human and a Routine... that they couldn't love each other -------------------------------------(72)------------------------------------- Sfx: ~Kiii~ ~Pushuu~ (Car sounds) Toshi: But I can see I shouldn't have worried... In love, there really is no difference between man and Routine... I understand that now, but... You've already gone somewhere I can't hold your hand -------------------------------------(73)------------------------------------- Toshi: I love you!! Assembler, shout it to me, I love you!! So... so one more time, just one more time, open your eyes! Please say you love me!! Assembler!! Interpreter: ! -------------------------------------(74)------------------------------------- Sfx: ~Gapaa!~ ('Blam!') Assembler: Really!? Toshi!! I love youuuuu! -------------------------------------(75)------------------------------------- Toshi: Uwaaaaah!! Urk Nachi: Ah... the rain has finally stopped... Good weather will be coming.
