Armored Core: The Final Push (Paused)

"That's what fathers are suppose to do."  

[Zahzi]

"As I said. I had no father."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"If you can't call that a father, then I can't call what I have one either."  

[Zahzi]

"We shared no relation."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You can't divorce your blood."  

[Zahzi]

"We shared no blood."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Then don't call him your father, idiot." Kelly grunted.

"Father and mother are those who created you. No one else can be called that."  

[Zahzi]

"I didn't call him 'father'. Ever. Do not place words into my mouth."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You made it sound like he was your father, but you were just to much of a brat to acknowledge him as such."  

[Zahzi]

"My family died when I was only a newborn because of a battle between two NEXTS." Jarid replied, staring at her.

"The man who took over did so just to try and make someone in his image."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Yeah. That's something you should say first so it doesn't sound like the other guy is your Dad." Kelly grunted.  

[Zahzi]

"I figured it would be rather apparent."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Yes. Because I'm a ******** mind reader."  

[Zahzi]

"When I say they're not my father, I am not talking in the same way as whiny teenagers who see their fathers as too strict."

Outside, the sickening sound of something metallic hitting a skull could be heard....  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

At the sounds, Kelly slowly looked over at Jarid.

"Like you want THAT for a father?"
