Watanabe takes the wheel and drives away.
Liv gazes at the heat-distorted horizon in silence. Her silken hair flutters in the hot wind as her body bumps along with the vehicle's uneven movements.
...
You're behaving a lot calmer than I expected.
...
Hey, Mr. Watanabe is talking to you.
I'm waiting for Mr. Watanabe's apology.
What? You—
Hah, made of sterner stuff than your looks entail.
You kidnapped me. For this, you face the risk of warfare with Babylonia.
This is not a risk you can afford to take. Not for an organization the size of the Forsaken.
If you require my help, you should have asked us about it.
But instead, you have separated us and put my companions in danger.
...
We do not wish to harm you.
But we also do not care about your safety, and will not fear the consequences of what we've done.
Babylonia owes us too much. And we have always been ready for full-frontal warfare.
But now, we need the coming event to succeed.
For this, placing your companions in danger to slow down the Corrupted—it was all part of the plan.
From the start, you never had a choice in the matter but to follow us...
Mr. Watanabe. Please stop the car and I'll leave here.
...But—
If you do decide to aid us, then after all this is done, I can consider... apologizing to you and your companions.
