2	Dolores Dei	Dolores Dei -- the innocence of humanism, internationalism, and the welfare state -- turns around to face you. She has an airship bag in her hand. She seems to be in a hurry.		41

4	You	"Where are you going?"		73
5	You	"Your skin is holy and soft."	Variable["seafort.dolores_intro_elchem_holy_body"] == true	86
6	You	"What's in the bag?"		11
7	You	"H-hey."		10
8	You	"Can you stay for a moment? We need to talk. We need to have one more massive, epic showdown."		110
9	You	"Go. Good bye." [Leave.]		113
10	Dolores Dei	"Hey."		36
11	Dolores Dei	"Just my scepter, my *globe crucigère*, a spare silk gown. A toothbrush. Travel documents. The Crown of Immortality."		16 17
12	You	"How are you doing?"		23
13	You	"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you."		33
14	You	Say nothing.		34
15	You	"'Hey'? That's all I get?" (Smile.)		25
16	You	"Crown of Immortality? Aren't you already wearing one?"		18
17	You	"Cool."		20
18	Dolores Dei	"Oh, this?" She corrects the wreath on her forehead.		19
19	Dolores Dei	"This is just a wreath. The Crown of Immortality is made of rarefied light, manna, and raw palladium. It was passed on to me by the rulers of late antiquity..."		20
20	Dolores Dei	She looks at the suitcase, not knowing what more to say, then over her shoulder.		58
21	None			3
22	None			97
23	Dolores Dei	"I'm doing really good, actually. Both professionally and romantically. I've come to a fulfilling and peaceful period in my life." She nods hastily. "How are you doing, Harry?"		26
24	None			36
25	Dolores Dei	"I mean -- hey to you too?" she says apprehensively.		24

29	You	"I'm not doing very well."		88
30	Dolores Dei	"Wow -- see? A new species..." She smiles. It's another sad smile, with knitted brows.		70
31	You	"I'm dying. In a ruined flak tower. Blood is dripping down my chest..."		89
32	You	"I'm in my head. I miss you."		91
33	Dolores Dei	"Yes." She looks over her shoulder again. "I mean no. But I *am* in a hurry."		35
34	Dolores Dei	She breathes out, impatiently.		35

38	You	"I guess, yeah."		72
39	You	"It changes nothing."		71
40	Dolores Dei	"Anyway."		21
41	Suggestion	Okay, don't say you need to 'talk' right away. Melt the ice first -- this way you're *already* talking.		42

44	None		(Variable["seafort.dolores_intro_sugg_talk"]) == false	50
45	Volition	But you don't even *want* to talk to her! She would only be cold and mean. Let her go.		47
46	Encyclopedia	Let her *go?* This is the holy queen of the territories of Mundi and Insulinde! Think of the historic knowledge we could glean! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- to win her back!		60

50	Encyclopedia	Off to advise the queen of Shest, most likely. This is the holy suzerain of Mundi and Insulinde -- *definitely* not your wife -- you need to talk to her! Think of the historical knowledge you could glean!		51

58	Electrochemistry	Silence, her nuptial gown flows in the wind, wraps around her holy body...		40
59	Logic	Win her *back*? How does that fit in here? And what is the holy suzerain doing here anyway?		3

65	Dolores Dei	"I'm sorry. I was heading to the aerodrome, I just don't have time to..." She stops mid sentence, glances to her right. Then looks at her bag.		68
66	Endurance	You may not be able to take this. Not this time. Not anymore.		3
67	None			3
68	Empathy	She means she doesn't have time to tend to your emotions.		67
69	Dolores Dei	"I told you -- good things can still happen."		38 39
70	Drama	She is trying to muster enthusiasm.		69
71	Dolores Dei	"Don't say that... I know this *positive* thing sounds stupid to you, Harry, but it works. We all have an obligation to be happy. You too. And you *will* be. Now..." She looks over her shoulder...		22
72	Dolores Dei	"Exactly, now..." She glances over her shoulder. You hear distant traffic. An airship passes overhead, dogs bark somewhere.		22
73	Dolores Dei	"I'm going to Mirova. To live there -- in Graad. It's one million kilometres away, Harry. Might as well be another lifetime."		74
74	None			3
75	You	"You don't have time to tend to my emotions?"	Variable["seafort.dolores_empathy_fire_away"] == true	76
76	Dolores Dei	She sighs and looks over her shoulder.		77
77	Suggestion	What are you *doing?* Stop saying things like that.		78

86	Dolores Dei	"No, Harry." She shakes her head. "It's just regular skin. I'm not as beautiful as you always thought I was. Let's not get into..."		100 101
87	None			3
88	None			71
89	Dolores Dei	"God, Harry..." She shakes her head, her eyebrows knitting together with worry.		90
90	Dolores Dei	"You have to take care of yourself. You're not a young man anymore. If you keep going like this you'll..." She falls silent.		99
91	Dolores Dei	"Well, I'm in my head too. We're all in our heads."		92 93
92	You	"Do you miss me there?"		94
93	You	"Okay. I'll go back into mine then."		95
94	Dolores Dei	"Sometimes... Not as often as I used to. So much time has passed. More than it seems here..." She stares at her feet -- the zebra stripes on the intersection. The lights of the video rental glow in her hair.		97
95	Dolores Dei	She doesn't reply. You're back in your head. There's silence.		96
96	Pain Threshold	Desperation is gearing up.		97
97	Inland Empire	This is everything I always warned you about.		98
98	None			3
99	None			96
100	You	"You are. None of the others are as beautiful as you."		102
101	You	"Yes. Let's not. I'm sorry I said that."		108
102	Dolores Dei	She does not answer. There's that expression again.		103
103	Conceptualization	You have to say *something*.		128
104	You	"All the stars burn in absolute silence. Have you ever realized?"		106
105	You	No. It's stupid. No, no, no. No, I don't want to say those STUPID THINGS!		107
106	Dolores Dei	"The poetry thing is not going to help. It's only going to make things worse. I *really* have to go... I don't even know how you got here."		107
107	Conceptualization	I'm sorry. I'm foam. All I can do is foam, it's meaningless.		87
108	Dolores Dei	"It's okay." She puts no effort into making it sound as if it's actually okay.		109
109	None			3
110	Dolores Dei	"No, Harry." She shakes her head sadly. "No. I don't want a *massive, epic showdown*. I want to go to the aerodrome. I have tickets for the 10:20 flight to Mirova..." She looks at you plaintively. "Really..."		111
111	Dolores Dei	"We don't have anything to talk about anymore. Every combination of words has been played out. The atoms don't form us anymore: us, our love, our unborn daughters..."		112
112	Dolores Dei	"It's all gone. I have to go to the aerodrome. I have to leave Revachol and you. And you have to be alone -- in hell, forever. That's just the way it is."		131
113	Dolores Dei	...is what you want to say. But you don't. Hammers clang in the distance. Children laugh...		114 115
114	You	God damn it, everything was fine already...		116
115	You	I want to go!		117
116	Dolores Dei	The light from the video rental casts shadows on the ground. She turns her face and it's illuminated by it. Red and cyan...		118
117	Dolores Dei	Where? There's water all around. She turns her face and it's illuminated by the sign of the video rental... Red and cyan...		118
118	Volition	I can't help you. I am totally useless. Everything I've said is lies. I want the exact same bad things you want. To stand here, like a pillar of salt, saying...		119
