19 21 301 1 Qu Huaxu, a real you, one with flesh and soul, will soon be born. 1
20 22 301 Pulao So it's you who's been controlling the ship? 2
21 23 301 Pulao But... aren't you the one who took us in? 2
22 24 301 Qu Pulao, the only reason I took you all in is to cultivate a suitable vessel. But eventually I realized that none of you... are fit for purpose. 1
23 25 301 Qu Constructs are the intermediate of humans and machines. Half human, half machine. A perfect hybrid, the perfect hotbed. 1
24 26 301 Qu The moment I laid my eyes upon Lucia, I knew she was the one I had been seeking. 1
25 27 301 Qu A pure mind begets an immaculate body, and vise versa. The mind and body wax and wane together. And Lucia is a supreme example of such a synergy. 1
26 28 301 Qu With Lucia as the vessel, Huaxu will become the perfect existence. 1
27 29 301 Qu This is the true freedom you've been seeking, Huaxu! 1

30 31 301 Qu shouts at the void, her manner frantic.
31 32 301 No one can bring themselves to speak because of the tension in the air. And yet, Huaxu is still answering in silence.

36 37 301 1 Huaxu I can hear you... so please let them go. 1

40 39 301 1 Qu Huaxu, why do you have to fight me on this? Didn't you say you wanted to walk the earth and see the world?! 1
41 40 301 Qu Most machines are too weak to accommodate you, and the other Constructs fail to match your beauty. You are perfection itself. That's why I set up the trade fair and spent night after night, looking for a vessel for you. 1
42 41 301 Qu You are my proudest creation, the embodiment of beauty and freedom. Humans are foolish, life-seeking. Machines are clumsy, soulless. 1
43 42 301 Qu The Punishing Virus will eat and filter through the entire world, and only you, only you will be fit to live... 1
44 43 301 Huaxu That's enough... Villier. 2

50 48 301 1 "Qu" We're almost there, Huaxu. Destroy them. And put your "mind" in that girl's body. 1
51 49 301 "Qu" —I command you. 1
52 50 302 I won't let you do this. 51 Lucia will not become Huaxu's vessel. 51
53 51 301 "Qu" You think you can stop me? You? 1

55 53 301 1 Chrome And us. 1

57 55 301 1 Pulao And me too... If Lady Qu is the one causing all this pain and suffering... 1
