Armored Core: The Final Push (Paused)

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Things are worse because you see it like that. You only see the anger the people feel."  

[Zahzi]

"I see all that they feel. You and your father are an abnormality..."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Yes, we are, because we know the truth, Jarid. We know it had to be done. Quite literally, a few had to die to save many." Kelly sighed, stilling holding his wrist.

"Jarid, if you walk away, I can't help you. I doubt Irish will find you on his way here with how you cling to shadows, and I'm in too much pain to move much. And when Irish sees my wounds, he'll more than likely put me under another bedroom arrest." She sighed again, this time much more heavily.
"If you walk away, you'll die. Bastards like that gang will find you, and kill you. Please don't go.."  

[Zahzi]

"My time is soon anyway..." Jarid said, looking down at Kelly.
"Those ORCA missions...Along with the special equipment on Commander...Kojima poisoning."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Kelly then grew silent, and only stared at the ground.

"...How..?" She asked after a minute of silence. "And how long do you.. Have?"  

[Zahzi]

"Those missions took me into places polluted with Kojima." Jarid replied.

"I do not know...Days...Months...Years...It's not clear."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Why doesn't your suit have a filter for that? Did ORCA not think of it?" Kelly asked, her lower lip quivering for a moment.  

[Zahzi]

"Filters can only work so well...None of us were expecting to survive..."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Kelly let out a depressed sigh before growing silent, still holding Jarid's wrist as she waited for her father to come home.  

[Zahzi]

"With that information, why do you still hold on..?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You're a person, aren't you?"  

[Zahzi]

"Only a shell."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I don't think so. A shell wouldn't risk their life to save me."  

[Zahzi]

"They were focused on you. I was able to dispatch them..."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Shells don't save people. Shells leave people to die."
