"I’ve been waiting all this time for you to come back."

"…"

"How long has it been since we last talked?"

"Just a few hours? Or… Perhaps days?"

"I’m sure that time must flow strangely here."

"What seem like infinite hours to me…"

"Probably feel like mere moments to you."

"I’ve been plagued by such a strange dream, recently."

"In it, I accept the Facade’s guidance, and deny myself, repeatedly."

"Or, unable to restrain my impulses, I turn against the whole world."

"It always comes down to polar opposites."

"Either I deny myself, or I deny the world."

"And either way, there’s not a grain of hope."

"In my dream, I…"

"I’m not myself."

"What do you think? Is it just a regular dream?"

"It sounds somewhat like science-fiction, but…"

"You alone can tell if I’m really… here."

"Is it just my unconscious mind?"

"Is that… my true self?"

"Tell me…"

"Are all of my dreams actually real?"

"Tortured to death by guilt; giving over to my impulse for destruction."

"Is that person in my dreams the true self I’ve been seeking?" "It’s as though the ending changes with each re-read."

"Am I… just like that picture book?"

"…"

"Forgive me. I was lost in thought."

"Let’s leave it at that for now."

"See you when you save up more EGO…"

"Hm? A personality test?"

"Now that you mention it, let’s stop doing them for a while."

"You don’t have any need of my interpretations."

"Try thinking things through for yourself."

"That’s… what I’ll be doing."

"Come back when you have more EGO."
