sad story

"Listen--we don't have much time. They're sending me to the quarantine center."

 "Maybe...Maybe you should go."

 "...Are you serious?"

 "Look at your arm! Stop trying to hide it! I know you're infected."

 "Don't you know what happens to people in there?! They walk in sorta okay, but when they walk out they're brainwashed!"

 "I know! But we need to have that looked at!"

 "I would rather take my chances out there than in that center! because at least out there a person can die on their own terms!

 "Don't you want to live long enough to see the baby born?!"

 "Yes! I do. I wouldn't miss it for the world! But I'm afraid that the people in charge of the center will make me kill the baby! Or even worse both of you!"

"You don't -hic- know that"

 "Please don't cry...please"

 "How could I Not?! your talking about killing the baby we've both tried so hard for! That's the reason you NEED to go in there, so you can live to see your child."

 "But what 's the point if the baby would never be able to open its eyes to see the light for the first time? Or feel its mother's warm embrace?"

"At least if I stay out of there the baby has a chance."

 "But, I couldn't raise the child on my own. I couldn't live with out you!"

"You're much stronger than you think. I know you could do it. Look at me...please"

"I love you too much to let you go! I refused to be left behind. You're going to live weather you like it or not. I won't let those doctors steal you away from me! I will fight tooth-and-nail for you! so do't you dare leave us yet!"

 "I won't. I will never forget you."

"Are you, Mr. Tatsuo?"

"You are speaking to him."

"We're ready for you."

"Alright, can you give me a moment?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"I will be back my love. Everything will be fine."

"It sounded more like you were telling that to yourself."

"Always so perceptive."

"I won't let them take you away from me, and if they do, I will quickly take you back before the baby is born. So, go I will be waiting for you."
