4 You What the hell is going on with me?

5 Electrochemistry You mean why are you so tired? Too tired and *down* to even think? It *is* worrying, isn't it. You can't be a detective like this -- detectives need to be able to think.
  • 28
6 You Why is this happening?
  • 8
7 You No, that's not it. *Really* I feel super-good.
  • 29
8 Electrochemistry It's just that your heart has finally pumped all the *speed* out of your system, buster. Time to get some more.
  • 9
9 Volition Don't do that. Stay strong. The hangover will wear off. You don't need to keep doing this to yourself.
  • 36
10 You Wait. What *is*... speed?
  • 17
11 You No. I can take this. I am not going to go looking for speed.
  • 12
12 Electrochemistry Are you sure? Ready to live as this pathetic shell of yourself for days? Basically a week? Let's be honest -- two weeks, maybe three? You won't make it. Half the town will be dead by then. You will be fired.

  • 14
13 You Who am I kidding? Of course I want some speed. (Opt in.)
  • 16
14 You That's a lie. I can do this without the speed. Half the town won't be dead... (Opt out.)
  • 15
15 Electrochemistry Suit yourself, slow, sad shell-man. See how you do without your spark.
16 Electrochemistry Fast recovery, man! Quick turnaround. Superdetective back in action.
17 Electrochemistry Speed is a potent central nervous system stimulant. It kept you propped up all day yesterday despite your debilitating hangover. How else did you think you even got up from this floor?
  • 31
18 Electrochemistry It's power, man. It's professionalism. It makes you feel like you're young again and ready to *detect*! Ready to go to war against the world!

20 You Oh my god, what the hell was that...
  • 23
21 You I just had the most beautiful dream. Uplifting. Rejuvenating.
  • 24
22 You Is that how it's going to be now when I close my eyes?
  • 25
23 Electrochemistry Oh, just a dream. You have ones like that all the time. You feel even worse this morning than you did last night.
  • 3
24 Electrochemistry Really? Because you feel even worse this morning than you did last night.
  • 3
25 Electrochemistry Yes. Wait till you see the one with the chick in it, it's gonna be a good one. You feel even worse this morning than you did last night.

34 Volition You got up from this floor because of a holy vow you made sixteen years ago. With *me*. To wake up exactly 07:30 every morning until the day you die.
  • 35
35 Electrochemistry Don't be silly. There was no vow. You were high on speed. That was the only reason you got up. You can't *detect* without it, it's that simple.

39 Volition You're too weak to say 'no' now. Waking up is the worst part. Maybe somewhere down the line you could decline...
  • 30
40 You I need to get more of it then. *Detecting* is my life. (Opt in.)
  • 41
41 Electrochemistry Of course! Martinaise is speed-central. You just gotta poke around, follow your nose.
  • 42
42 Electrochemistry You and speed will be happy again. You will make her come home. This time it will be different.
