"What troubles me, is that he's still alive. He escaped fate, twice, mind you. I plan to find him. Immediately."
The robot stood, his head cocked slightly. Of course he wouldn't understand the pain of humanity, he wasn't of this place.
"No, I still don't understand. I guess there is no stopping you."
She turned towards him from her perch on the rocks. Her mind was a mess, her fight with herself was beginning to take effect. Even he could see it.
"No, there isn't, Cosmos. And with my new abilities, nothing can."
Cosmos' eyes pulsed their signature blue.
"Don't try your corruption with me. I see right through it."
Sometimes, Yuri just hoped that it would work. Magically, or scientifically. Somehow. To have Cosmos feeding from her hand would be a miracle. But alas, he stood against her. She'd have to deal with that one day. Not today, though. Today was the day she struck back at her enemies.
"Corruption? I have no idea what you mean, Cosmos..."
There was a moment of still, painful silence before he began to speak again. He also seemed to see right through her lies.
"I'd see a doctor, Yuri. My scans reveal you're not precisely 'human' anymore."
"Shut up, you stupid android. What do you know? I've been blessed to have these... powers, and you just sit there and act jealous."
Cosmos seemed to take a moment to analyze the situation. To his advantage, too.
"My job is done. I'll take my leave now. Now, where shall we meet next?"
"Ames. No, Number 6. Actually, how about Java? Hm, no that won't work... Kyoto. Meet at Kyoto and soon."
"Of course, Yuri. Until then, I guess."
With that, Cosmos left the cliffside, with Yuri looking over the New Tokyo capital. Blankly staring into the ocean of neon signs and dark buildings.
Is this really me? She asked herself, firm on the outside, but a wreck within.
"No, I still don't understand. I guess there is no stopping you."
