Y'were holdin' back? Why's that?

[doggonemad]

Dunno. Must've been a good reason!

[throughbamboo]

Must've been. Why were ya fightin'?

[doggonemad]

. . . 'cause I wanted a fight.

[throughbamboo]

Hmmm.

[doggonemad]

What was he doin' in yers!

[throughbamboo]

Negotiatin' with that Katsuragi fucker.

[doggonemad]

Oh fuck that guy. Good bein' a distraction fer me though.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm. Couldn't tell ya why I know him, though.

Ya just wanted a fight with him, eh?

[doggonemad]

Somethin' like that! S'clear ta me that I ain't got the full story there.

[throughbamboo]

Figured that.

Just tell me ya don't wanna talk about it, bro. Yer a shit liar.

[doggonemad]

Ain't lyin' if I ain't sayin' shit.

But naw I don't wanna talk 'bout it.

[throughbamboo]

We don't gotta, then.

Y'mentioned a girl, too? When ya were younger?

[doggonemad]

Yeah. I'd lost my eye by then an' you were gone, but my hair was longer, all tied back. Tried to stop this girl from dealin' with these yakuza an' she got shot.

[throughbamboo]

They shot her? Fuckers . . . she make it?

I can't see ya with long hair, though.

[doggonemad]

Dunno. She was in surgery, but that's all I got.

[throughbamboo]

Ah . . . I'll hope for the best, then. Sorry she got hurt.

[doggonemad]

Yeah . . . me too.

[throughbamboo]

[reaches over for his shoulder, giving it a tight squeeze]

[doggonemad]

Hate this "not knowin'" shit. Fuck them. If those visions are mine, gimme all've 'em.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm . . . ya know I feel the same way. I want 'em back, yours an' mine.

[doggonemad]

Hearin' people talk earlier, I felt like I was takin' crazy pills.

[throughbamboo]

Why's that? 'Sides the obvious.

[doggonemad]

People not wantin' ta accept that their "visions" are theirs.

I mean, I get it. But c'mon. Surprises the hell outta me that there ain't no one else on this goddamn ship like us.

[throughbamboo]

[a soft huff]

That is a surprise, figured there'd be at least a couple of others.
