psychic: *reads my mind*

me: he hurt nanako...and he calls himself a savior - i don't agree with his behavior, but...killing him? that's a bit extreme - he'll strike again, we've already seen, he'll hurt and maim and none of us will ever be the same, so i say kill the bastard! before he kills us - hey hold on - let's discuss. do we strike? do we stay? do we lock the man away? there's a tv over there and i trust...you know what i mean. push him in? do we dare? this is murder - i don't care! he's a monster, that claims he fought for justice, while he herded us all to our doom. and to end it, the only group i trust is the one gathered in this room. and if not us then who? and if not me and you? in police hands the man goes free. so partner, what's it gonna be? it's nanako in there, dead on the table! so partner, are you with me? let's end this thing while we're stil able. so...what should we do? what should we say? captain, oh captain, please guide us and show us the way - what should we do? what should we say? captain, oh captain, please guide us and show us the way - captain, oh captain, captain, oh captain, captain, oh captain, captain, oh captaaaaaaaaaaaain - i'm tired, man, of the bitching and the whining, and watching the time flying as we waste it standing here! i'm done waiting, man! waiting for all you cowards! and throwing away hours for that monster over there! it's just one push, just a push and we're done, then it's over, really over, and we'll finally have won! it's a public service, to put the dog down! it's a duty, our duty, in service of the town! so come on people, how can you not see? it's so clear people, just listen to me! let's talk this through guys, take a moment to breathe - 'cause just one push and then we're finished - take a step back guys, give us time to breathe - we've come this far and now it's time to make choices, time to decide, are we killers? are we heroes? time to pick sides. time to choose how to act, after everything we've lost: like a madman - like a coward - and at what cost? and here on this ending road, we draw a line in the sand. so pick one side - or the other - time to choose where you stand. you're with me, right? oh yeah, side with mr. murder - i'm against going any further - oh good, you agree - this is chaos - it's just reason - if you think you'll all see, then you'll agree, we've got to push the bastard in - for murder - and peace - corruption - expediency - pansies - and criminals! it's the end, don't you see? come on, partner, i know you're with me!

psychic: SHUT THE HELL UP! i can't kill him. i'll be damned, if i let this monster break us all apart. and that isn't a great reason but, at least it's a start. i'm not on some moral high ground, i can't think that way just yet. but there's a truth that i've found, that i refuse to forget. we've been through towers and saunas, clubs and hideaways. and i've learned that though we hide them, truths don't go away. there are truths behind truths, and there's truths behind lies. and the truths that we sought will be gone if this man dies. and i can't - i'm not strong enough for this. so i'll keep searching til i'm sure nothing's been missed. there's not lines in the sand, no going separate ways, and we can't judge the cost of what we've lost, 'cause some scars never fade. you asked and here i stand, call me a coward if you wish. i don't care anymore. i'm going back to nanako. so please, retake the floor. go plot, and plan, and kill the man. it's got nothing to do with me.

me: captain...

psychic: this isn't the team i thought we'd be. these are the choices that we make, you want an end for ending's sake, but i refuse to kill this man, that's where i stand. put the man away, and end it all today.

both of us: let's talk this through guys, take a moment to breathe - 'cause just one push and then we're finished - take a step back guys, give us time to breathe - 'cause just one push and then you're done.
