SLAUGHTERESS,

i am greatly in your debt.

you haven't lost your touch.

we're screwed.

you have the nerve to show your face?

it's your fault for sitting out in the open.

i bet you're hungry.

do i look like i'd have a husband?

you're in no state to care for a baby.

why do you dress like a vagrant?

you've got to survive somehow.

it's a bit late to play the hero.

count me out. i'm through caring.

what a nuisance, i swear.

i forbid you to die!

not fond of that nickname.

you're still green, so "kid" it is.

you better not mean that.

another bad dream?

nice place you built here.

wow, that's a beautiful story.

i'm not your father.

fate has brought us together as a family.

i got a desk job.

it's time i stood on my own two feet.

at this rate, you'll never find a wife.

no shark or whale could do that.

just admit you have no clue.

this country never changes.

don't push yourself too hard.

i can't sleep sometimes.

now, kid!

you're finally awake.

it's got nothing to do with you.

if you're carrying some burden, i wish you'd share it with me.

whatever happens next, i know i must survive.

they beckon to me in my dreams every night.

what if i'm really dead already?

taste it for me.

i'd like to try to live again.

is that what i think it is?

we pull together, that's what.

did you have any idea [name] was such a bigwig?

hear me out, please.

why are we always the ones drawing the short straw?

you don't instill confidence.

i'll take that risk.

my war isn't over yet.

any other leads?

i needed to find you.

it's swelling up like a grapefruit.

this next battle is not one waged to the death, but a battle to live for the future.

you're not going.

i can be useful.

not having been to war is something to be proud of.

why do you look sad? what's wrong?

it'll be all right. i'm not leaving you.

don't do anything rash!

atta boy.

persistent bugger.

kid, is that you?
