"[GT]Hi."
"[GT]This is where we met. Same pitch."
"[GT][sit down] This is where we met."
"[GT]Are you sure we did the right thing?"
"[GT][throw away the ball] ask who's winning"
"[GT]But a different game."
"[GT]I did not expect thanks."
"[GT]asks who is winning"
"[GT]I wasn't sure if you would come."
"[GT]Surprised?"
"[GT][sit down] Surprised to come?"
"[GT]What will happen to you now? What plans?"
"[GT]I have a call to Washington. And then probably the principal's office and sent to the desk."
"[GT]And Myers? She must be furious."
"[GT]Even if she's furious, she covers it with a broad smile."
"[GT]And So Mi? You know what now? Will they have a funeral?"
"[GT]So Mi has been officially dead for years. I can show you her tombstone at Calvary Cemetery in New York."
"[GT][sit down] What is this meeting for?"
"[GT]I wanted to meet you because I didn't have time to thank you."
"[GT]Stop bullshitting me, Reed. Tell me how it is. Myers sent you?"
"[GT]Stop getting dark. Myers sent you?"
"[GT]Are you sure we've done the right thing?"
"[GT]You promised her it would be okay."
"[GT]Can't Myers arrange a visit to So Mi for you?"
"[GT]You did your thing. And you don't give a shit about the rest?"
"[GT]You promised her everything would be okay."
"[GT]Maybe we should let her die?"
"[GT]No, we did the right thing."
"[GT]Maybe? What if the best option was to let her die?"
"[GT]So what is the next stage of your game?"
"[GT]I'm going. Until next time, Reed."
"[GT]Sit down."
"[GT][sit down] How's the game?"
"[GT]You did the right thing. I know it wasn't easy. Thanks."
"[GT]What do you get out of this wondering? Besides sleepless nights?"
"[GT]How is Songbird doing?"
"[GT]Okay. Goodbye, Reed."
"[GT]What about Songbird? How is she doing?"
"[GT]Better, I hope."
"[GT]Well, but they operated on her? Will they stop memory loss?"
"[GT]I do not know. They cut me off from accessing it. But it's nothing. I've already done my job."
"[GT]Nothing. Bye, Reed."
"[GT]I gave her the best care. I gave a chance, thanks to which maybe someday he will correct his mistakes. I can't do any more."
"[GT]You can not? Or maybe you don't want to admit that you didn't intend to fight for it?"
"[GT]You think we should leave her in that bunker, right? As long as it did not end up in the hands of the FIA?"
"[GT]I know. You're not gonna answer me, are you?"
"[GT]I envy you a little of this comfort. The ease with which you are able to doubt everything you do."
"[GT]Try it sometime. You could come to interesting conclusions."
"[GT]I've already spent seven years figuring out what if. And enough."
"[GT]We play different games, V. Mine has different rules. It does not predict errors."
"[GT]Come on, Reed. I have to go."
"[GT]Are you sleeping like a baby?"
"[GT]And you sleeping like a baby now?"
"[GT]I have no problem falling asleep. That's what whiskey is for."
"[GT]Sometimes I just have a problem with what I dream about. But we won't talk about that."
"[GT]Can't you talk to Myers? May she give you full access to So Mi. It's not much after what you did for her."
"[GT]Do not understand. It was Myers who cut my access."
"[GT]Why?"
"[GT]She decided that I was not objective during the operation."
"[GT]I was ignoring the purpose of the mission. I have compromised the internal security of the country. I tried to help So Mi."
"[GT]Myers wanted to help her too!"
"[GT]What's her point? We recovered So Mi."
"[GT]You tried to help her. But it probably didn't work ..."
"[GT]Maybe you tried to help her. But I don't know if you finally helped."
"[GT]I see. In your opinion, we made a mistake. There, in the bunker."
"[GT]Shit, Myers wanted to help her too!"
"[GT]Myers wanted her back. And she wanted to help mainly herself. Maybe we all do."
"[GT]And that's okay for you?"
"[GT]Look. As long as the guys are running around and throwing the ball into the basket, the game is on and you understand what's happening on the court."
"[GT]Mhm. As long as I don't challenge the rules, the game will go on. And I don't want to leave the field, V."
"[GT]I know what you want to say. It is the same with you."
"[GT]But what is her point? After all, we recovered So Mi. She got what she wanted."
"[GT]It's about the rules. I bent them too much. Myers decided I wasn't playing as a team."
"[GT]It does not make sense. After all, we won. Only that should matter."
"[GT]No, we did what we had to do. It was the only way to give So Mi a chance to survive and ... somehow secure her."
"[GT]Full agreement."
"[GT]I just think you could do more for her."
"[GT]It is interesting. Because I think I've done too much."
"[GT]And for the rest of my life, I'll probably be paying for it."
"[GT]What do you mean?"
"[GT]Well, good luck, Reed. I have to go."
"[GT]What do you mean?"
"[GT]So what is the next stage of this game of yours?"
"[GT]Myers takes me to Washington. They'll probably send me to Langley or Glynco from there."
"[GT]For a desk?"
"[GT]For now. For a time. Picking out promising candidates."
"[GT]You know people, that's a fact."
"[GT]So sending. Are you okay with that?"
"[GT]Well then ... good luck."
"[GT]Promising candidates ... Well, you know people, you have to admit."
"[GT]I know mostly about their talents. But it has to be enough."
"[GT]Forgive the honesty, but ... you waited so many years asleep and now they're sidelined again."
"[GT]After all, I can see that you are not comfortable with it."
"[GT]These were my orders. I plan to do them. We'll see if that changes anything."
"[GT]I don't want to discuss it. It wouldn't have ended well."
"[GT]And I can't stop thinking about it."
"[GT]Maybe you will finally find your place."
"[GT]You're stuck. Perhaps forever."
"[GT]Well, it looks like you've finally found your place."
"[GT]Reed, you can hear yourself, right?"
"[GT]Mhm ... And you let me know if the FIA is preparing some action in Night City. I will be away for a few days."
"[GT]You too, look for yours before it's too late. Just not at all costs, because you can see how it ends."
"[GT]You're stuck. Again. The circle closes. How long can you survive this time?"
"[GT]As many as it takes."
"[GT]Fuck me ... Do what you want. But if you need me again, don't wait another seven years."
"[GT]I don't have that much time to waste."
"[GT]We will never see you again, V."
"[GT]Good luck."
"[GT]Eh ... Won't you stay till the end of the game?"
"[GT]Look at them. They haven't been counting points for some time. There is no more game."
"[GT]You surprised me. I thought we closed our affairs at the border."
"[GT]How's the match? Will you ask me again who will score?"
"[GT]Only this time, no gun under the ribs, please."
"[GT]This time, I don't think about killing you."
"[GT]It's kind of you."
"[GT]I did not expect thanks."
"[GT]Okay. How's Songbird?"
"[GT]Thanks and see you later, Reed."
"[GT]She wants to check if I accidentally spilled to someone?"
"[GT]If Myers had any doubts about you, you would be dead."
"[GT]You are one of her contacts in Night City. Useful, as evidenced by the fact that you breathe."
"[GT]And I just wanted to chat. Last time."
"[GT]I thought I was just an Afterlife mercenary to you. \"V did her job, got a medal, let her fuck off.\""
"[GT]I don't pin medals to my partners. But I can trust some. That's why we're talking now."
"[GT]You did your thing. Let's say. And do you give a shit about the rest?"
"[GT]Not. The rest just don't concern me."
"[GT]I fixed So Mi's mistake. I made sure that this story did not repeat itself. It is not enough?!"
"[GT]Did you make sure they wouldn't hurt her?"
"[GT]Maybe you're right."
"[GT]But at least you made sure they didn't hurt her?"
"[GT]Eh ... I don't know. Maybe you are actually right. You can't control everything."
"[GT]V, Songbird is an FIA agent found in a Washington clinic in critical condition."
"[GT]It is under the care of the best specialists. They don't hurt her, they save her life."
"[GT]She got another chance! Thanks to you, thanks to me. But I'm the only one paying for it."
"[GT]Are you in any trouble?"
"[GT]Reed, are you in trouble?"
"[GT]Every time I thought everything was under control, trouble started."
"[GT]Well, now I'll have a lot of time to think about it."
"[GT]It is impossible to hide."
"[GT]What are we doing here?"
"[GT]Sit down, we need to talk."
"[GT][sit down] I was curious why you spoke up."
"[GT][sit down] Be brief."
"[GT]A little."
"[GT]I was curious why you wanted to meet. After what happened in the bunker and at the border ..."
"[GT]You're like a pain in the ass, V. I didn't ask for you, I'd love to get rid of you."
"[GT]I'm not sure."
"[GT]You don't want to kill me, that's for sure."
"[GT]We met on this pitch. It's not a coincidence."
"[GT]After what you pulled in the bunker ... If I were you, I wouldn't be sure what will happen when we meet again."
"[GT]Well, let's say I didn't expect to hear about Solomon Reed again."
"[GT]You failed as an associate of the FIA. You failed me, Alex, you failed Myers. Maybe you even let yourself down."
"[GT]I should kill you. Maybe I would even do you a favor this way."
"[GT]But you know why this won't happen today?"
"[GT]You sure don't want to kill me."
"[GT]And here you are wrong."
"[GT]I don't feel your gun under my ribs the way I did when we met."
"[GT]So what? Have you placed people around? Will I see the crosshair dots on me in a minute?"
"[GT]Do you think I'd need backup for your liquidation? You're not Morgan Blackhand, V. Still."
"[GT]Common sense tells you otherwise, but you won't die today. Do you know why?"
"[GT]We met exactly on the same pitch."
"[GT]So maybe you want to say goodbye this time?"
"[GT]Goodbyes take many forms. Ours will be among the final ones."
"[GT]Reed, what are you ...?"
"[GT]Do not be afraid. Nothing's going to happen to you today. Do you know why?"
"[GT]Do you need my help again?"
"[GT]Do you want to apologize to me?"
"[GT]This is starting to look like an interrogation."
"[GT]But we have to tire ourselves for a while. Just a moment, I promise. Okay?"
"[GT]You don't want to kill me, that's for sure."
"[GT]It is no coincidence that we are meeting here."
"[GT]I'm not sure what you're getting at."
"[GT]I'm not sure. We know each other a little, and I still have no idea what's on Solomon Reed's head."
"[GT]Reed, I'm not in your head. I don't know what you're getting at. What are we doing here?"
"[GT]Do you need help again? Myers pulled on the leash and you think I'm going to collapse too?"
"[GT]Sorry. I only take orders from fixers. I do not work well with the presidents."
"[GT]Don't be silly. In the FIA bases you now exist as a \"faulty resource\"."
"[GT]If there's ever someone from Myers knocking on your door, shoot or fuck off."
"[GT]So what is it?"
"[GT]You were right."
"[GT]I don't believe it. Reed, do you want to apologize to me?"
"[GT]I can see your sense of humor hasn't left you."
"[GT]I have nothing to apologize for. But you were close."
"[GT]Then speak."
"[GT]This conversation is starting to look like an interrogation, Reed."
"[GT]You are not tied to a chair. You don't have a bag on your head. Nobody beats your murder."
"[GT]Give it a rest. Say what's going on."
"[GT]Er, it's probably not an interrogation after all."
"[GT]I wanted to tell you this while looking into your eyes. You were right."
"[GT]Thanks. So you changed your mind."
"[GT]Well, I did not expect that."
"[GT][get up] A little late for that. See you."
"[GT]Thanks, Reed. But what happened to make you change your mind?"
"[GT]Shit, I didn't expect that."
"[GT]I'm not surprised."
"[GT]I lost practically everything because of you."
"[GT]Reed ..."
"[GT]Listen to me."
"[GT]I lost my partners and friends. I lost my superiors' trust."
"[GT]Everything I believed in, what I built my life out of ... It ceased to exist."
"[GT]Because I trusted you, you know?"
"[GT]You have a chance for a fresh start."
"[GT]You felt what it was like to lose control."
"[GT]I know what it is like to turn your world upside down."
"[GT]But I also know that in such a situation it is easier to change. And you needed them, Reed."
"[GT]Listen, I'll be honest."
"[GT]The world you built for yourself and believed in you felt safe because you controlled it."
"[GT]Mhm."
"[GT]Now you've lost that control. And it's fucking time. Try to live like an ordinary mortal for a while, Reed. You'll love it."
"[GT]That's why I agreed with you."
"[GT]I have nothing to lose. I might as well gain something for a change."
"[GT]By you. Thanks to you. I still don't know which option is truer."
"[GT]What are you going to do now?"
"[GT]Move on. To the next thing."
"[GT]Do you know what happened to So Mi?"
"[GT]Myers is furious?"
"[GT]She's in constant contact with the big players in Night City. The Zone is in turmoil, Krausser is dead ..."
"[GT]Trying to put your puppet in its place?"
"[GT]Mhm. And she'll probably succeed, this time with someone more stable and predictable."
"[GT]She has already convinced Congress that the turmoil at Night City was deliberate, controlled, and in complete success."
"[GT]They'll probably grant her a second Purple Heart anyway. And she would take it with tears in her eyes and mention in passing that Kennedy only got one."
"[GT]I hate politics."
"[GT]Well, Songbird, a former FIA agent, anyway, probably will never end up on the ground."
"[GT]Only on the operating table, eh?"
"[GT]She's now at the Groom Lake facility. They will try to get as much out of it as possible. Fortunately, it does not matter to Somi anymore."
"[GT]So Myers was just pretending to take care of So Mi?"
"[GT]She did. In her own way. That's how Myers is."
"[GT]We were even there once. Alex, So Mi and me. We put flowers down, drank. We didn't have to call the Spirit. He was standing next to it."
"[GT]Sorry."
"[GT]Scratching the blackboard, displaying slides, and storytelling to students at Langley Farmazons. And other forms of humiliation."
"[GT]They sent me a ticket for an overnight flight to DC."
"[GT]Yes. You will prove yourself as a mentor."
"[GT]I don't know, Reed ..."
"[GT]Will you get on that plane?"
"[GT]Should I?"
"[GT]No. Fuck them all."
"[GT]Go. Just remember what we were talking about. And remember So Mi."
"[GT]I failed her as a mentor. Maybe even as a friend."
"[GT]Therefore, you will not repeat these mistakes a second time. You'll be a great lecturer."
"[GT]You're getting sweet because you think I'll get you a place at Langley. To be clear: over my dead body."
"[GT]Nooo, I'm not good for an agent. Too many secrets, too little time."
"[GT]Don't fly. Fuck Myers, fuck the FIA. That life grinded you up. Try another."
"[GT]So the path of Morgan Blackhand?"
"[GT]Why not? Afterlife will welcome you with open arms. But that's not the only possibility, you know."
"[GT]Mhm."
"[GT]I don't know, Reed. Look at me. Do I look like someone who doesn't complicate his life at every turn?"
"[GT]You don't."
"[GT]You see. Don't be like me. Or be? Just decide for yourself."
"[GT]I don't know what to do yet. I feel good with it."
"[GT]I didn't remember the feeling, but I fucking missed it so much. Thanks."
"[GT]You're welcome. Next time, you'll buy me a beer as payback."
"[GT]There will be no next time. But you know."
"[GT]Mhm. Well ... take care of yourself."
"[GT]I do not promise anything."
"[GT]All right."
"[GT]See you sometime there?"
"[GT]We will never see you again, V."
"[GT]Good luck."
"[GT]And if the FIA ever knocks on your door, get the fuck out of the window. I'm serious."
"[GT]Heh ... Well then ... good luck."
"[GT]Interesting. I thought you would have more to say on this topic."
"[GT]I know you, Reed. You wouldn't have listened anyway."
"[GT]Mhm ... Okay, time for me."
"[GT]Just be brief. I guess I'd rather spend this day differently."
"[GT]Oh, you hurt my heart. I promise it will be a short meeting."
"[GT]Do you know why it happened?"
"[GT]You sure don't want to kill me."
"[GT]I have no idea."
"[GT]I have no idea."
"[GT]A little late to admit I'm right, Reed."
"[GT]That's possible. But I feel better when I told you that."
"[GT]Well, it's great that at least one of us is feeling better."
"[GT]I have to go, Reed."
"[GT]Okay."
"[GT]Don't contact me ever again."
"[GT]They won't contact you. Good luck, V."
"[GT]Don't recruit them like So Mi."
"[GT]I know from So Mi how you recruited her. You knew she couldn't handle this Militech hack."
"[GT]That's why I helped her."
"[GT]You waited with this help until they almost fried her. To make her feel that she is in debt."
"[GT]Change the methods, Reed. Because this story will repeat itself."
"[GT]I know my job. But thanks for the advice."
"[GT]And you are watching it from a safe distance."
"[GT]Fucking christ. You will never really understand it."
