37 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant whispers to you, quietly. "This man is obviously a habitual narcotics user. Do we really need to question him?"
  • 38
38 Esprit de Corps I'm put off by this religious stuff, he thinks -- and maybe the ceiling-climbing, too. It's all very hard to square with the lieutenant's own view of reality.
  • 72
39 Rhetoric He's a born preacher. Enjoy the rhetorical flourishes, but remain vigilant -- don't let him get too close. He's crazy.
  • 47
40 Tiago "Chill out, man. Here you can receive the Mother's love, and, when you're ready, she will take your hand and lift you out of the despair at the bottom of the bottle."
  • 34
41 You Wait, what qualifies as *too* close?
  • 43
42 You I think I'm willing to try crazy. Anything to stop this suffering.
  • 46
43 Rhetoric Giving away all of your possessions, sacrificing a limb to appease an angry god, trying to live on air and light alone as though you were some kind of plant...
  • 502
44 You Vigilance is practically my middle name. I won't let anyone talk me into anything unreasonable.
  • 45
45 Rhetoric That's right. You've got to watch your own back.
  • 72

52 You "How can you not know that when you both live here?"
  • 53
53 Tiago "Don't really follow her comings and goings. Just see her typing on her computer now and then. We've got different interests."
  • 395
54 You "I'm doing a survey of passwords and passcodes, identifying regional trends. In the interests of public safety, of course." Variable["church.tiago_drama_surveys_lie"]
  • 56
55 Tiago "What'd you think of that? Makes me almost pity *la nihilista pequeña* when I hear it."

56 Tiago "Don't sweat it, vato. The password is 'AFTER LIFE DEATH.'"
  • 57
57 Inland Empire That is true. But what comes after death?
  • 55
58 You "This is stupid. I don't even know what this is."
  • 87
59 Tiago "I was like you once -- just dragging my feet to the next bottle... Shit was dark, homes."
  • 113
60 Tiago "I know it's hard to admit that you have a problem... I was like you once -- couldn't take an honest look at the damage *el vino* was doing to my mind and my spirit."

66 You "Yeah, I guess I have a bit of a problem, and it's been getting out of hand lately, but..."
  • 70
67 You "How do you know what I'm feeling?"
  • 59
68 Tiago "Not all of it. I was like you once. You don't know all the havoc *el vino* is wreaking on your mind and your spirit. Necesitas parar, homie."
  • 113
69 You "Great. More patronising. So original."
  • 71

84 Tiago "The grave's comin' for your little 'identity' sooner than you think, homes." He shakes his head sadly. "You sure you're ready? The Mother could set you free from all that shit." His words echo in the cold air of the church.
  • 91
85 Tiago "It don't matter who *I* am, wey. I'm just bringin' you the message of the Mother's love. She don't want you to hang yourself on your own stubbornness." His words echo in the cold air of the church.
