Re-I, what are you doing here?
I didn't come here just to give that back to you.
Tell me, Vincent Law...
everything you know.
Re-I...
I'm...
Don't lie.
You expect me to believe that?
That you're a...
Vince...
is that scary lady coming with us?
I don't know.
Do you want her to?
You've got a funny look.
But...
You know, don't you?
The Proxy.
Why does it only show up when you're around?
Why do you call for it to come?
Who are you?
This whole time I had no idea.
I didn't know I was a Proxy.
What?
I don't call for it to come.
I am a Proxy.
She should go back to Romdo.
When You're Smiling
We somehow managed to catch up with him...
while we still had enough fuel.
Hey, scary lady!
Over here!
Hey!
That AutoReiv is infected with the cogito.
You stay put, lggy.
But, Re-I...
What is it?
Well, I can't eat...
but when I see you eating, I wish I could.
I can't eat with you staring at me. Go away.
Sorry about that, Re-I.
I don't believe it...
that you're a Proxy.
That's understandable.
I still have more questions than answers myself.
But that's why I want to know.
There are other Proxies still out there besides me.
Proxies? How do you know there's more than one?
Because I have a feeling it's not over.
It seems I've met and killed two other Proxies so far.
What?
The first time was in Charos.
The second time in Asura.
The second Proxy I met told me...
that I'd lost my memory.
My hometown, Mosk, played a major role in my memory loss.
I'm sure I'll discover something if I go there.
Now that I know I'm a Proxy, there's no turning back.
Is that so?
It's hard to believe, isn't it?
Yeah.
Kill a Proxy?
This is all I can give you at the moment.
It's the only way to kill the indestructible Proxy.
The FPrays loaded in these bullets are harmless to humans...
but they attack the Amrita Cells unique to Proxies.
The FPrays destroy the cells no matter where the bullet hits and...
theoretically, that should result in death.
I can't believe you can kill a monster with that.
But that's only on paper.
So I'm giving them to you...
in case you come across the Proxy.
You want me to get you some hard data.
But Daedalus...
my first goal is to capture it.
Me too, of course.
I'll be waiting for you, Re-I.
Daedalus and I both thought that if we could just capture the Proxy...
that would solve the entire mystery.
Now I wonder.
Within this chaotic world that I've seen...
it's Romdo's systematic and orderly way of life...
that's unnatural.
No, Romdo's falling apart as well.
The comatose Proxy that went on a rampage and died...
the increasing number of cogito infections...
and the fact they tried to kill me, the Regent's granddaughter.
Even if he is a Proxy...
what could we possibly gain by taking him back to Romdo now?
But we can't go any further either.
What do I do?
Re-I?
Are you taking Vincent Law into custody?
Either way, we have to go back to Romdo.
It's now or never.
You understand that, right?
I don't believe him, but...
I need to make sure.
Re-I?
He's a Proxy?
I'll know for sure if I shoot him. If he doesn't die, he was lying.
But what if it's true...
No, that's impossible.
FP shells are harmless to people.
Maybe if I just aim for his leg.
Vincent Law...
I don't think you and the Proxy are completely unrelated.
That's why I followed you all the way out here.
Maybe it's because I'm drawn to you.
I thought about you several times during the trip.
Are you a Proxy?
Even so, I...
I love you.
I love you, Re-I.
But...
how could an immigrant...
no, a monster like me...
even think such things?
I kept trying to resign myself to the fact I'd never see you again...
but... I can't help loving you.
Who are you?!
Wait!
Even this place has people.
How is it?
Nope.
Even taking into account the possibility of refueling along the way...
it's dangerous to go any further.
The Prince said so himself, didn't he?
He told us to make sure we come back with our report...
while we still have enough fuel.
You can't ignore the Prince's wishes, he cares about you.
Of your handsome boyfriend...
Daedalus is my doctor.
Anyway, let's go back to Romdo for now, Re-I.
You're not the brightest bulb are you, lggy?
In Romdo, Re-I Mayer's already dead.
I'm sure the Prince can find a way to take care of that somehow.
My pride won't allow it.
If we turn back now, this trip will have been for nothing.
But still...
That's right.
If we can't use the U4, what about his ship?
It runs on wind power.
It looks primitive, but we won't have to worry about fuel.
You're going to steal his ship?
Or maybe not.
You want to be with him that badly?
I don't know.
But at least he seems to feel that way.
What?
He's fond of me.
Besides, I'm still not ready to go back to Romdo.
Re-I.
Are you done?
Huh? Oh, yeah, you're good to go.
I'm going to figure this thing out, no matter what.
Hey, Pino!
She's not here.
She should learn a little something from watching Re-I's Entourage.
You came over to the Rabbit yesterday, didn't you?
The Rabbit's broken, so Vince keeps banging on it.
It's noisy so I had to get away.
Hey, why don't you say anything?
You don't want to talk to me?
You can't speak?
Vince...
What's that?
No!
That AutoReiv is infected!
You stay here!
It's already too late.
Vincent Law...
Hey, lady!
Vincent, you're...
Vince!
Vincent...
He'll be fine.
Vince is strong!
Re-I!
Lggy.
Where are you going? It's dangerous.
Lady!
Re-I!
Vincent, he...
I know. I saw it too.
That's the Proxy I saw in Romdo.
The first thing that ever scared me.
But still...
I have to see whether the FP shells are effective.
Can I really kill a Proxy with this thing?
You're going to shoot him, aren't you?
Take it easy.
You've only got two FP rounds.
Yeah.
You were right.
The man we've been chasing this whole time was a Proxy.
Now we can go back to Romdo.
Why didn't you shoot him?
Lggy!
Vital signs... negative.
Really? He's dead?
Re-I?
I've seen it for myself now.
You're a Proxy, all right.
And this gun is the only weapon that can kill a Proxy.
Vincent, one pull of the trigger and I can kill you as well.
Kill me?
Did you say you're going to kill me?
Me?
Stop it!
Re-I...?
But I won't kill you now. I'm going with you.
Re-I!
I want the truth.
Not a dead Proxy.
But someday I'm going to put this bullet in you.
Can you still say you love me?
It really is amazing.
Daedalus is sure to be happy.
I can't go back to Romdo alone.
I want you to tell Daedalus about everything you saw here.
No. I won't hear it.
You need to come back to Romdo too.
And if he's a Proxy, that's all the more reason.
It's too dangerous. Why?
You can't understand.
Why? Even I don't know.
And if I don't know, there's no way an AutoReiv could.
Re-I, I...
Application Off.
Follow your orders, lggy.
You're going back to Romdo.
Roger. Returning to Romdo.
Please confirm.
Confirming.
What happens now?
What the hell happens now?
The cogito virus...
The chain of sad souls that lost their raison d'etre.
A gun shot echoes in the maze of trees...
