Track 17

(At the exit of Eos)

 

*sound of elevator stopping and opening*

 

Riki:  I’m pretty ??, too.  Beyond here is off limits.  Daryl’s gonna grumble at me again.  Ah, I really wanna leave….  Damn, no matter how many times I try, it won’t open!

 

*the door opens*

 

Riki:  It opened…! *cue music*  Can I leave…? 

 

*more doors open*

 

Riki:  I can leave…I can leave!  *laughing*

 

*sirens sound*

 

Guards:  Stop!  Stop now!

 

*random scary sounds*

 

 

Track 18

(Iason’s Screen Room)

 

Raoul:  Did it do something wrong again?

 

Iason:  You have good ears.

 

Raoul:  What is it this time?

 

Iason:  He shook off the security guards and left Eos.

 

Raoul:  Another big show.  After what happened with Mimea I thought he’d calm down, but he’s as stubborn as ever.  The lively pride of a slum gang leader, is it?

 

Iason:  Don’t be sarcastic, Raoul.  Why is it that whenever you talk about Riki you start speaking so bluntly?

 

Raoul:  It’s because I don’t like him.  When I see him dragging you around like this, it irritates me even more.  You’re going to capture him, of course?

 

Iason:  Of course.  There’s no way he can escape.  There is a tracer in the Ring.  But still, he stubbornly got as far as Plage.  Should I not be surprised, or should I be shocked speechless…?

 

Raoul:  You’re sounding foolish, Iason.  Who could be enjoying their Pet having broken through the security system and leaving Eos?  He should be punished.

 

Iason:  Don’t say that.  Thanks to him, we can see the flaws in our Eos security system we prided as being perfect.  Can’t we think of it as a lucky break?

 

 

Track 19

 

*boom*

 

Iason:  They got you pretty badly.

 

Riki: Don’t touch me!

 

Iason: *hmph.*  It’s been a long time since you’ve made that face.  Did going at it wildly with the security guards awaken the blood in you you’d forgotten?

 

Riki:  Shut up!  ??, just do something already! 

 

Iason: *chuckles*  So you’ve already prepared.  How admirable.  Well then, maybe I’ll have you experience some pain. 

 

*the Ring reacts – Riki groans*

 

Iason:  Do you remember, Riki?  As long as the Ring bites your flesh, you have no where to run to.  *deep breath*  If you understand, why do you do such foolish things?

 

Riki: *groans, breathing heavily*  Pets are…the worst kind of…trash! *cries out*

 

Iason:  *sounding cross*  Do you hate being a Pet that much?

 

Riki:  *still groaning etc*  It makes me vomit!

 

Iason:  *laughs*  Speaking so proudly, aren’t you.  The Ring has given you a taste of things other than pain, hasn’t it?  *Iason’s voice lowers suddenly*

 

*cue music*

 

Iason:  Just by doing this, you become more obedient. 

 

*Riki gasps*

 

Iason:  You give up your arrogant back talking.  Well?  Or do you like this better?

 

*Riki gasps again*

 

Iason:  Without using drugs or Muul, with just this you loosen up.  (?)How can you say you’re not a Pet? 

 

Riki: *nearly whimpering*  Damnit….  *breathing hard*  Who would….

 

Iason:  *whispering*  Who is your master?

 

Riki:  I…I don’t…I don’t belong to anyone!  *gasping*  I’ll never belong to anyone!

 

*music rises*

 

Iason:  Is that so.  *long pause*  In that case, as you wish I’ll remove the ring.

 

*as the music abruptly stops, Riki gasps, and the ring comes off*

 

Iason:  Now.  Let’s go.

 

Riki:  Just send me off to a Midas Brothel or some Black Market peep show already!  Whenever I’m sold off to has to be better than this.

 

*sounds of big door or something opening*

 

 

 

Track 20

(Outside the Slums)

 

*the sound of an aircar, followed by a door opening*

 

Iason:  Get out.

 

Riki:  This…is the edge of the Slums.

 

Iason:  What are you surprised for?  Would you prefer a Midas Brothel?

 

Riki:  Are you trying to make a bad joke?  Iason…what are you scheming?

 

Iason:  You can go back to the slum you were born in.

 

Riki:  I can really…go back?  Just like this?

 

Iason:  I removed the Pet ring.  Go.  Before I change my mind.

 

Riki:  I can go back.  I can go back—I’m not dreaming!  The wind in the Slums…the Slums’ smell….  There’s nothing binding me anymore.  I’m…free!  I’m really…free!

 

*As the AnK theme starts playing, Riki leaves—slowly at first, then running*

 

Iason:  Go back, Riki.  Go back to the Slums, stretch your wings of the weight, and come back.  It’s been three years.  You can greet your old friends.  You can even get back together with Guy.  However…you’ll certainly realize you can’t bury the length of three years.  And then you’ll know.  The weight of freedom and the thirst of your blood.  There is no Pet ring left to bind you.  Go, and come back, Riki.  I’ll give you only one year of freedom.  Go, and make certain with your eyes, with your body, that you are already a stranger there, and return.  I…will merely wait.  Until that moment you truly become mine.  That moment….

 

*the music continues*

 

 

-The End

Now that there isn’t any radio drama left to do, I’m going to be moving onto the novel.  It’s gonna be tough!  But I’m glad to hear there are people still interested in being able to read it, which’ll make it worthwhile.  Thanks again for your support, and look forward to seeing translations as I have them ready.  Ciao!
