SINCLAIR |
Finally, once this is over… We can get out of here. |
 |
DANTE |
<I guess Ahab's not here yet…> |
 |
ISHMAEL |
Tsk… is that an Abnormality? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… Get out of my way. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Watch out, it's charging!> |
Post-Battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Ahab |
Oh, you are doing much better than I expected. |
 |
GREGOR |
Hey, you… Don't tell me you've just been twiddling your thumbs, watching us fight? |
|
|
Ahab |
I would have just gotten in your way. |
 |
Queequeg |
…… |
|
|
Queequeg |
Rest of crew not here. Only five now. Why? |
|
|
Ahab |
You dare question me now, eh? Your present company must've rubbed off on you. |
|
|
Ahab |
I have enough men left. The rest were… disposable. They must have left you quite the impression, Queequeg. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Say it. Why. |
|
|
Ahab |
Before I do… Queequeg, where's your greeting for your Captain? For your surviving compatriots? |
|
|
Ahab |
Especially when… the heart presents itself before us! We are THIS close to killing the Whale! |
 |
Pip |
Pip hates Mermaids!!! W-want to! Now! Want to get out of here!!! |
|
|
Pip |
But the pale keeps trying to eat Pip. This. Ugh, ughh. It won't come off. |
|
|
Ahab |
The Pallidification is progressing, the closer we get to the heart. It is starting to get rather… bothersome. |
|
|
Ahab |
But you. All of you are somehow completely unaffected. |
|
|
Ahab |
And… this ticking sound! It has been getting on my nerves! |
|
|
Ahab |
Tell me. What will I find in your clock-head? |
|
|
DANTE |
<…!> |
|
|
DANTE |
<This is…!> |

 |
Hanging Villager |
Cap'n… You said… you won't let me be… a Mermaid… |
|
|
Ahab |
Well, then… this was not the right method indeed. |
 | ||
|
|
Despairing Villager |
Huh…? No…! Don't cut that! Everyone behind you will…! |
|
|
Pip |
Captain! That was Pip! Pip cut the vein! |
|
|
Ahab |
Wonderful! Imagine how overjoyed Stubb would be, were he to witness your exploits! |
|
|
Pip |
Think he's watching over Pip? Can we kill the hateful Whale?! Heheh! Ahahahaha! |
 | ||
|
|
Falling Villager |
Huh… Huuh? Aaaaaahhhh! |
|
|
Shocked Villager |
C-Captain… What did you just…? |
|
|
Ahab |
I kicked the lad in there. Looks like that wasn't the right path. |
|
|
Ahab |
You dare beg for your life? |
 | ||
|
|
Hesitating Villager |
C-Captain. That's not it. It's… |
 | ||
|
|
Ahab |
With every moment, every second we waste, the end of days grows near! Every beating of that Pallid Whale's heart is a bell tolling for the end of the world! |
 | ||
|
|
Ahab |
We can stop the apocalypse with our own two hands! Yet you kneel here and dare to grovel for your life?! |
|
|
Ahab |
You mean to make your crew's sacrifices to have been for naught?! Unbelievable! |
|
|
Hesitating Villager |
N-no, Captain… |
|
|
Hesitating Villager |
I can die, for this cause I will…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Nay, not death! I have never, and will never order my men to their deaths. |
|
|
Ahab |
I send them to greatness, not death. |
Rendezvous Area Before the Heart 2
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Ahab |
Your head... What an odd power it has. Just like the peculiarities of each Whale. |
|
|
Queequeg |
… Pequod crew sank. Right before heart. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Because of you. |
|
|
Ahab |
Hahahaha! |
|
|
Ahab |
Yes, you can say that. You may indeed claim that I have sacrificed my crew. |
|
|
Ahab |
By now they must be wandering the Whale's guts, transformed into Mermaids. Lucky ones probably turned to sludge in acid. |
|
|
GREGOR |
But why… |
|
|
Ahab |
I know this heart better than anything else in the world. I know it better than my own body. The pancreas we have journeyed through is an endlessly winding maze! And if our limbs were to be melted off, we'd have no means of recovering them as you do. |
|
|
Ahab |
I had to calculate the ideal path to the heart, losses be damned. I see no injustice committed in my pursuit of practicality. |
|
|
Ahab |
I even encouraged and reminded them of their pride and greatness as they drew their last breaths. |
|
|
Ahab |
When it could not be helped, I made sure that they perished before fear overwhelmed them. |
|
|
Ahab |
My crew and I are one, bound by oath! The promise that we will hunt the Pallid Whale, whatever it takes! |
|
|
Ahab |
Are we not, Ishmael?! Now, we shall… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… Sail… to the heart? |
|
|
Ahab |
Quite! Yet we need one last piece of the puzzle before we set sail. |
|
|
Ahab |
That shard of the Bough. |
|
|
DANTE |
<What are you…> |
|
|
Ahab |
I, Captain Ahab, cannot be deceived! That thing in your clock-head… is a piece of that Golden Bough, is it not? It is that Golden thing that counteracts the Pallidification effects! Am I wrong in assuming that this is how you and your crew have remained untouched by its effects?! |
|
|
Ahab |
Soon, our final battle for everything that we hold dear will commence. And for victory, I shall spare no quarter. |
|
|
Ahab |
No one knows what will happen here, at the heart of the Whale from which all evils of the City, the world, spout. |
|
|
Ahab |
And is it not patently clear that you are the only one inexperienced in combat? |
|
|
Ahab |
What if you were to perish…? What fate shall befall your crew? |
|
|
Ahab |
What fate shall befall your crew, should you meet a pathetic end without having destroyed the Whale's heart! |
|
|
DANTE |
<That's…> |
|
|
Ahab |
Everyone here, including your crew and mine, will turn into Mermaids within hours. |
|
|
DANTE |
<So… what the hell do you want me to do?> |
|
|
Ahab |
Hand it over. That golden shard in your head. |
|
|
Ahab |
And I swear by my name that I will personally see to it that everyone trapped within this Whale safely makes it to the world outside. |
 |
Starbuck |
Captain ain't wrong, you know… |
|
|
DANTE |
<Huh. I guess that makes… some sense.> |
|
|
Ahab |
It takes but a single sacrifice… to ensure that everyone survives. Down to every single crew. |
 |
DON QUIXOTE |
I… I detest that. I shall not relinquish Manager Esquire's head to thee…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Then what? Fail to destroy its heart and let us all be Mermaids together? Is that how you wish your tale to end? |
|
|
DON QUIXOTE |
That's… |
|
|
Ahab |
My friends. Is there not something out there, past this Pallid Whale's flesh, that awaits your return? |
|
|
Ahab |
Laying your lives down just to save the life of some useless clock cannot possibly be your dream. |
|
|
Ahab |
You must have something that drives you! A desire, a goal, a mission that you must see to its end once you escape this Whale!!! |
|
|
DANTE |
<Tell her what I'm about to say, Faust.> |
 |
FAUST |
Understood. |
|
|
DANTE |
<You're not going to be responsible for the Sinners.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<And no one knows what'll happen to the Sinners if my head is crushed.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<I'm not going to let the doubts you cast chart our futures.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<Because I am their Manager.> |
 |
HEATHCLIFF |
Ooh… |
|
|
Ahab |
Hmph, predictable. Pleading for your life now, are you? |
|
|
DANTE |
<Besides… I don't want to die.> |
|
|
FAUST |
……. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Ahab… You really haven't changed. … No, you've become even more revolting. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I struggled, I thrashed, yet… Again, you had us in the palm of your hands… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Commandeering our ship, turning me into one of your crew again… |
|
|
Ahab |
Silence!!! Shut up. This… is a moment of paramount importance. |

Heart of the Whale
Pre-Battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
 | ||
|
|
Ahab |
Do you see it? This… is the heart. |
|
|
Ahab |
An amalgamation of all that the Pallid Whale has ever devoured. |
|
|
Ahab |
This makes the Pallid Whale breathe, this makes its heart pound, and from here its evil spouts! Behold! It spews evil again! Again! Again! And again! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Stop laughing like you're happy when your path here was paved with the lives of your own crew. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I suffered my whole life. Everything, my dreams, my friends, all of them… sank right before my eyes. You… it was you. You did that to me. You…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Indeed, That was I! I led my crew to their deaths. |
|
|
Ahab |
And what of it? |
|
|
Ahab |
Their fates were sealed the moment the Whale swallowed them. Fated to become Mermaids, fated to wander the Whale's belly until they keeled over and died. I saved them! |
|
|
Ahab |
I merely reap my recompense for extending their lives, even for a fleeting moment! |
|
|
Ahab |
I looked after them, watched over them, and led them to this place… And for that, I have been rightly rewarded. |
|
|
Ahab |
I was the one who sparked the proverbial fire in their meaningless, pathetic lives. It has always been me! |
|
|
Ahab |
I still remember the day you lot boarded my ship, not even a spark of light manifest in your aimless eyes. What a pathetic display that was, nothing more than flotsam bobbing up and down without cause! |
|
|
Ahab |
I gave your worthless lives a reason to go on. And on the Pequod, you sailed with conviction! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
No… You devoured the crew whole. You painted over their wills, just like the Whales— no! Just like the Pallid Whale! Molding them and shaping them to fit your wants and needs. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
We didn’t board your ship solely to hunt some stupid Whale. And you knew that. |
|
|
Ahab |
I didn't. In truth, I could not care less about your reasons. The moment they set foot upon MY ship, their sights should have rightly been set upon the Pallid Whale! |
|
|
Ahab |
In fact… You must know better than anyone that their hearts were flimsy. That they let themselves be swallowed because they were shallow; that they let themselves be molded because they were weak. |
|
|
Ahab |
I am the only one who matters. What matters is that I have declared this beast evil—and that is my commandment, my belief, my religion, and my creed. |
|
|
Ahab |
When I perish, this world shall perish as well. So my very life, my very existence itself, is then the world! And I have deemed it so! No one will be the helmsman of my life but myself!!! No one shall live my life in my stead!!! |
|
|
Ahab |
What do you, all of you, believe in? Tell me. Is your belief unbreakable? Is it absolute? |
|
|
Ahab |
My beliefs are absolute! My definitions of good and evil are clear-cut! Thus my beliefs are unclouded, unassailable. Because I have made it so. |
|
|
Ahab |
That is why I will never be broken. That is why I stand tall, unshakable, as a missionary of my own faith. |
|
|
Ahab |
I have blessed you with my absolute definitions of good and evil! So that you may live your life with unhesitating, unwavering tenacity!!! |
|
|
Starbuck |
……. |
 |
Queequeg |
……. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
……. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Then you are my definition of evil. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
All of my hatred, all of my goals, all of my failures, all of my past, all of my… losses! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
They all came from you, Ahab! |
|
|
Ahab |
Very well! Then crash unto me like the Waves! Let your world and mine clash! |
|
|
Ahab |
Let us see whose evil is the more tenacious, the more overwhelming!!! |
Heart of the Whale 3
Pre-Battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
ISHMAEL |
You could've given your crew a chance! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
A chance to see for themselves where they stood…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Always in my wake… are pallid, opaque traces. |
|
|
Ahab |
You say that I stole their chances? Wrong. They merely followed in my wake, setting their course to the same destination as mine. |
|
|
Ahab |
Because had they not done so, they could not have endured this world. Because they were weak! I was their lighthouse in this world of tempest… I gave them an unambiguous path to follow! |
 |
Ahab |
The last of my sailors! By me! Heed my orders! Pursue them! |
Mid-Battle
| Speaker | Dialogue | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
ISHMAEL |
…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Do you still fail to see? They are already 'Ahab'. |
|
|
Ahab |
They are my harpoons. My hatred is their hatred. My vengeance is their vengeance. And my harpoons… shall not be defied! |
 |
Pip |
Ehehehe, heheh. Hehe! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Stubb's death did this to you, didn't it…? |
|
|
Ahab |
Stubb's not dead, Miss Ishmael! |
|
|
Ahab |
Pip would have said as such! He crushed his own heart and gave himself to me, so that he would be freed from his guilt! |
|
|
Ahab |
Be not so cruel to a mere child, Ishmael! Cast your eyes upon me! |
|
|
Ahab |
His broken heart led him to me, and I have freed him from his guilt to the best of my abilities! |
|
|
Ahab |
But what did you do? Nothing! The least you could have done was to volunteer to row in Pip's place on that fateful day! |
|
|
Ahab |
The fault lies with you, Ishmael! |
|
|
Ahab |
Yet I am the evil here? |
| [After Ahab's first health bar is depleted:] | ||
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Starbuck…! You… you were the only crew of the ship that could challenge Ahab. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So how could you… |
|
|
Ahab |
How foolish, Ishmael! How foolish! |
|
|
Ahab |
Starbuck was the first to kneel. It matters not how many waves a first mate has weathered… A first mate's station is still beneath his Captain…! |
|
|
Ahab |
Out of his own volition, He blinded his eyes in that complacent belief that regardless of whatever paths we took, the Captain would lead him to his destination! |
|
|
Ahab |
If you knew that he had sought a better path, then why have you not helped him see it?! |
|
|
Ahab |
So the fault lies with you again, Ishmael! |
| [After Ahab's second health bar is depleted:] | ||
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Queequeg… I don't…! I don't want to let you go… Not you…! |
|
|
Ahab |
It's all because of you, Ishmael! |
|
|
Ahab |
This happened because you dared to unearth her buried heart! Because you forced her broken heart into the open! |
|
|
Ahab |
The fault lies with you once again, Ishmael! |
|
|
Ahab |
Look at what you've done. Watch her determination crumble, her conviction collapse. Now, with her faith broken, the pale claims Queequeg! |
Mid-Battle 2
Plays after Ahab's third health bar was depleted.

|
|
I shall seize this beast's heart and sever the evil from its roots! | |
| [Ahab launches her harpoon at Ishmael, who—using the shield of her E.G.O, Snagharpoon—deflects it. The harpoon broke, its tip coming to a stop on the ground near Ishmael. Ahab kneels on the floor, defeated.] | ||

ISHMAEL |
When… when did this happen…? When did it… I-I didn't realize… |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
No. I saw that very same look on your mug from the moment we first met. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Thought you might suffocate and kick the bucket any minute. |

ISHMAEL |
……. |
|

ISHMAEL |
I’m so sorry, Queequeg… I… couldn’t save you… |
|
|
Queequeg |
[Almost completely pallidified] No. I was. Too late. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Too late to think. About what is right and what is wrong. To think for myself. Too late. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I, I should have been more… I should have… |
|
|
Queequeg |
Hey. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Your name. Tell me. Once more. |

Ishmael |
The Great Lake might be one of the worst places in the City… but it sure has a pretty sunset. |

……. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Your name. What? |
|
|
Ishmael |
My name? W-why? |
|
|
Queequeg |
Because, your hair color. I like it. |
|
|
Queequeg |
Whales. When they die, they turn to the sun. |
|
|
Queequeg |
And your hair color. Sunset-color. |
|
|
Queequeg |
So when I throw the harpoon, Whales turn to you. |
|
|
Queequeg |
We can be good friends. |
|

Ishmael |
Well… call me Ishmael, if you please. |

DANTE |
<…….> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
You're in my way, Dante. Again. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Why are you doing this? Why do you keep getting in my way? Why do you even turn the clock for me? What the hell do you get out of all this? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
What, does pretending to be a good person help you feel better? |
|
|
DANTE |
<I wanted to know more about you.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<So I can… find you a path that doesn't go in circles.> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Do you… Do you even know? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Do you even know where you're going? |
|
|
DANTE |
<I'm… constantly searching.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<Ishmael, we're all Captains of our own hearts.> |
|
|
DANTE |
<We just happened to be sailing the same path, and sometimes we'd let each other take the helm…> |
|
|
DANTE |
<But at the end of all things, you still have to be the Captain of your own ship. You're the one who has to steer your very own path…> |
|
|
DANTE |
<So don't you dare let go of your helm before the voyage is over. Because I… I won't, either.> |
|
|
Ahab |
So you've finally killed everyone. Didn't even leave a single one of them alive. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Yeah. And you're the last one. |
|
|
Ahab |
Hah… |
|
|
Ahab |
HA! HA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! |
|
|
Ahab |
YES! Now, we have become one and the same, Ishmael. |
|
|
Ahab |
The paths to our destinations are both unclouded. Any sacrifice, any amount of death can be justified as long as we can see our missions through to their ends! |
|
|
Ahab |
As long as we kill that bastard, we will have nothing more to wish for in our lives! |

Ishmael |
Recruiting sailors… for a Whaling ship. Huh. |
|
Ishmael |
||
|
|
Ishmael |
Requirements… an able body that does not suffer seasickness. |
|
|
Ishmael |
… That's it? |
 |
Ahab |
Another would be the generosity of your heart to not whine when someone tosses you a rag to shine the bow of the ship. |
|
|
Ishmael |
… Who am I talking to? |
 | ||
|
|
Ahab |
Just an old salt who doesn't like how the solid earth feels against her one good leg. |
|
|
Ishmael |
……. |
|
|
Ahab |
Whales are… magnificent yet mysterious monsters. |
|
|
Ahab |
Everyone flees screaming at the sight of a Whale. But we give it a toothy grin and a wild guffaw. |
|
Ishmael |

|
Ishmael |
……. |

Ishmael |
||
|
Ishmael |
||
|
Ishmael |

|
|
Ishmael |
The Pequod, huh. This ship's Captain must be one lucky person. |
|
|
Ahab |
Why do you think that? |
|
Ishmael |
||
|
|
Ishmael |
Not a lot of sailors out there, willing to work for such a pittance. |
|
|
Ahab |
Hm. Still, sailing with this ship will net you a Grade 9 Fixer license for the Eight Association. |
|
Ishmael |

|
|
||
| [Ishmael raises her Snagharpoon E.G.O against Ahab. Attempts to target Ahab fails, however, as…] | ||
WHERE MY HARPOON MUST STRIKE…
| ||
|
|
||
…SOMETIMES, THE ANSWER ISN'T RIGHT BEFORE ME.
| ||
SOMETIMES, TO MOVE FORWARD…
… I HAVE TO TURN AND LOOK BESIDE ME. | ||
|
|
DANTE |
[Announcer] Ishmael… Don't listen to anyone else. Listen to what your heart tells you. |
| [The heart of the Pallid Whale in the background becomes targetable.] | ||
| [Targeting the Whale's heart and commencing…] | ||
 | ||
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Yeah. There once was a time when I wanted to be like you. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Once, I was your Mermaid. Devoured and overwritten by your beliefs, I swam toward a towering mad Whale that wore your face. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Because if I didn't… I… didn't know if I could go on. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
My years of aimless wandering. My loss of everyone that was ever precious to me. That I was the only one who survived. That, once I had one chance to get them back, I ended up killing them with my own hands. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
All of that had to be your fault. That was the only way to make it bearable. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Before I saw that recruitment post… after I boarded the Pequod… even after I joined Limbus Company… I've never taken the helm of my own ship. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
But… I think I've finally found my compass. |
|
|
Ahab |
Does a mere deckhand dare speak of her own compass now? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Yeah. An incredibly annoying compass that keeps getting in my way. But… they're also a compass that, even as they waver, points to where I want to go… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So I want to go on an adventure with that compass. A real adventure. To explore and learn this world we live in. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
But that bloodied past I've sailed in this voyage… is also a path that I charted. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I accept that now. And I'll carry that weight with me. …All of it. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
That's why I have to let you live. That is how I will chart my own path. |
|
|
Ahab |
What…? |
| [Ishmael stands upon a boat amidst a calm lake. She throws her Snagharpoon E.G.O at the Pallid Whale's heart.] | ||
|
|
||
| [Having impaled the heart, Ishmael begins pulling back her harpoon. A transparant ghost of Queequeg appears for a moment, pulling on the cable in her aid.] | ||
|
|

| [A great hunk of flesh was dislodged from the Whale's heart. Pale blood pours from within. A dying cry from the Whale can be heard.] | ||
|
|
Ahab |
What… What have you…! |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Look at me. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
And tell me that we're still "one and the same". |
|
|
Ahab |
Why… Why…! |

|
Ahab |
You should have stabbed me! That harpoon should have pierced my heart! How! Why were you the one to—! |
|
|
Ahab |
We must find the Pallid Whale! Look alive, men! Spring! Roar! |
|
|
Ahab |
Harpooneers, tighten the ropes around your harpoons! Helmsman, set course to the Whale! |
|
|
Ahab |
Full sail! Full sail, my first mate! Row! To the Pallid Whale from which the all evils of the world spout, we sail! |
|
|
Ahab |
Navigators, chart course…! We set sail! We set… sail… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I will watch you live. Because you are the proof of my wandering years. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So that I may endlessly struggle against the devouring seas. The testament to my sins. My Whale. |
|
|
Ahab |
No, you will not look down at me…! |
|
|
Ahab |
I am Captain Ahab. I, I…! |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
Oi… The Whale's not letting us out, it's caving in on itself…! |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
So what she said about destroying the heart and escaping… |
|
|
GREGOR |
Of course… Full of lies to the end. |
 |
OUTIS |
Well, it technically wasn't a lie. We will eventually end up outside the Whale. |
 |
RODION |
She didn't say anything about being outside the Whale in one piece, I guess. Ugh, I shoulda seen this coming~ |
 | ||
|
|
ISHMAEL |
…! |
|
|
DANTE |
<Who dropped that rope…?> |
|
|
RODION |
Doesn't matter, let's take it! |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
What are you standing around there for? Let's go. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
This rope… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I have a feeling that this rope won't snap. |
|
|
Ahab |
You… You should have killed me… |
|
|
Ahab |
I should have been the one to kill the Whale…! |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
What… about her? |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… We'll let her watch as this place crumbles around her. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
The Captain must go down with the ship, after all. |
|
|
RODION |
Apparently the Whale's hide's too thick and tough for most things to puncture… |
|
|
RODION |
… So how'd ya do it? Hmm? Hmmm? |
 |
The Indigo Elder |
I do not know if it is because the Pallid Whale swallowed the Golden Bough... or because it swallowed you and your friends. But its behaviors changed in ways that I had never seen before. I presume that something had gone wrong with its brain. |
|
|
The Indigo Elder |
So I punctured a hole in it with my anchor. That is all. |
 |
Vergilius |
Now… two of the five Calamities of the Lake have met their end by your hands. |
|
|
Vergilius |
Will you remain here, Indigo Elder? |
|
|
The Indigo Elder |
Why would I leave? The sea still harbors three Calamities. |
|
|
Vergilius |
Hm. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
Oh… That butterfly… |
 | ||
|
|
SINCLAIR |
That butterfly looks similar to the one we saw in the Lobotomy Corp. Branch. |
 |
MEURSAULT |
It appears to be the exact same Butterfly. |
 |
HONG LU |
I'm envious. To be able to cross the Lakes so unbound, so freely like that. |
|
|
DANTE |
<What do you think his deal was? Rim…> |
|
|
DANTE |
<He did help us at the end of the day, but…> |
|
|
FAUST |
He has certain expectations of us. I expect that he will return. |
|
|
HEATHCLIFF |
I don't like being a pawn in some dodgy bloke's games. |
|
|
SINCLAIR |
I think… he was watching us from a short distance away. Maybe a step away. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Ishmael.> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Oh, I was reading the winds. |
|
|
OUTIS |
We're cutting it close. I expect to see the Waves rushing in our direction at any minute. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… Heh. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Then let's face it head-on this time. Ready, Dante? |
|
|
DANTE |
<I… don't know how to sail.> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Haah… Don't you understand? After all that? It doesn't matter how good of a sailor you are. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
What's important… is that someone is there to help steer you right. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
And as the first mate of this ship, I'll trust and follow your directions. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So… you're my Captain. For now. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
My skiff will go on an adventure of its own one day. But for now, I've tied that skiff to a bigger ship called Limbus Company and you. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Because I really want to find out what's waiting for me at the end of this voyage. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
… Besides, you guys are the only friends I have left. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Ishmael…> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
I'll trust your decisions and your orders, Captain. But I'm not going to just accept them at a face value. I'll constantly question and try to understand them. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So that when I see that my compass no longer aligns with yours, I can take my skiff and sail away. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
So that I won't let anything consume me again. So that I won't lose myself again. |
|
|
DANTE |
<Well, I think we can manage that.> |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Heh. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Waves incoming in 15 seconds. Get to the helm, Swab— No. |
|
|
OUTIS |
First mate Ishmael. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
You're not even the Captain, Outis. Come on. |
 |
Charon |
Sorry for intruding. |
|
|
Charon |
But Charon's got the helm. Hold on, everyone. |
|
|
OUTIS |
Khm… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
Haaah… |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
The wind feels… nice. |
|
|
ISHMAEL |
It's a perfect breeze to push us toward a new voyage. |
|
|
Charon |
Mhm. Voyage to ice cream. Splish splash. |

Hermann |
My, what a mess… |
|
|
Ahab |
……. |
|
|
Ahab |
Is it still… not in your sights…? |
|
|
Ahab |
That cannot be… We must continue our search… Comb… every corner… |
|
|
Hermann |
Sorry that the Whale died. |
|
|
Hermann |
But you don't have to completely give up on life, do you? What you've lost is but a 'single' Whale. |
|
|
Ahab |
You… You're here to point and jeer at this Captain Ahab, have you…? |
|
|
Hermann |
Captain. In this world of infinite possibilities… Do you really think that there is but a single Pallid Whale? |
 | ||
|
|
Ahab |
……. |
|
|
Hermann |
Yes, now there's a spark in your eyes. I think we're starting to understand each other. |
|
|
Hermann |
I'll help you kill that Whale. And I'll make sure that you're the one who gets to do it this time. |
|
|
Hermann |
So that you may hunt every Pallid Whale in every world. |
|
|
Hermann |
All I require from you is your staunch determination and conviction. |
|
|
Hermann |
So, is that more than enough reason for you to come aboard my ship? |
|
|
Hermann |
Let's make this voyage a good one. |
