chaos // cycled.

[ID: Soma, Mina & Arikado at a yakiniku restaurant. Arikado and Soma have taken off their jackets. Arikado's barbecuing the meat as he listens to Mina & Soma talk. Mina's hands are steepled. Soma's arms rest on the table, a glass of fruit juice (with curly straw) in hand. In the window are several poster ads for the menu. Beyond the window glare is the hazy reflection of the Țepeș family at the dining table. Lisa & Dracula gesture as they talk; Dracula has a wine glass in hand. In the past, a young Adrian turns to listen. In the present, Arikado listens, expression soft.]

𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 :

is that why you're here? to ask questions you already know the answers to?

you know what makes a hero? a man who values protecting others above protecting himself.

i'm so sorry this happened.

that's it? no "welcome back?"

wars are fought one battle at a time.

you belong behind bars.

this city was built because of men like me.

so you did some good. so what? doesn't mean you're above the law. nobody is.

you look gorgeous. no surprise.

you need to leave, right now.

[name], where the hell are you?

why does it feel like we keep saying goodbye?

it was such a pleasant surprise when i discovered that the two of you were together. you know, after the gag reflex.

did you just fake cough?

you don't have any whiskey, do you?

it seems you left dinner just in time.

we'll keep an eye on him.

once a criminal, always a criminal.

i don't know what i would do if something happened to you.

like an idiot, i would wake up thinking, hoping that the next day, you would show up at my door.

after everything that's happened, you really have nothing to say to me?

i bet you were close growing up.

you want to explain yourself?

have you changed your mind?

you wanted to talk.

what do you have to offer?

surprised to see me?

wow. so this is where you live.

i feel like i walked into something.

i do not want to get in trouble. odd as it might seem, i do enjoy working here.

you don't control me anymore.

what the hell are you doing here?

why didn't you kill me?

if i didn't know better, i'd accuse you of being a sentimentalist.

sounds like you're busy. maybe i should go.

what happens when there aren't anymore?

i don't think this place is running out of monsters anytime soon.

i get to go home when i want, get drunk when i want.

hello? we're closed.

this is harder than i thought.

i'm happy for you.

it's not a compliment.

if you leave now, i won't call the cops.

any chance you want to come quietly?

you taking care of yourself?

you okay, [name]? world getting you down?

just trying to be nice.

it's a puzzle. the trick is opening it.

it was a lovely thought.

hear that? you should be lauded.

you have a family here.

i imagine you're here about your offer.

i only want what's best for you.

good luck finding anyone to take that job.

someone should do a story on you.

i got nothing to say.

i was going to say it's hard to find a quiet bar in the city.

i like coming here.

why are you being so kind?

i know the feeling.

details can be distracting. sometimes, a simple solution is best.

drop the gun.

i'm sorry i was gone for so long.

what the hell are you doing?

we had a deal.

you're a son of a bitch.

i knocked.

was a new alarm system really necessary?

i imagine you have some ideas.

you tried to kill me.

is that why you're angry?

for someone who has everything, you have no idea what you actually want.

there are about thirty witnesses.

why would he leave?

no one's ever looked at me like that.

i've never had a friend. i've never had anyone.

you have no idea what it's like to spend your whole life alone.
