I'm sorry. We were too late. Cavil's been arrested, but Saitou is

Saitou

give it a couple days


[add'l voice, Japanese]

*long sigh*

...I tried. I swear. I'm sorry. I...I don't know what to do. At least that bastard's been hauled in so he won't hurt us now, but...

*very long pause*

Sorry...

[Kiryu has to laugh again at that.]

And what were you before? I thought we were the same~

So consumed with the idea of revenge that I would die for it. That I let myself be manipulated, used, and then tossed aside. I lost sight of what really mattered to me because of it.

We are the same...we've been through the same things. Haven't we? I...I just want to protect you, I can't help it.

[Kiryu's expression gradually shuts down while Alastair's talking...and then gradually starts looking more and more pissed off again. Finally, he looks about ready to storm out again.]

I'm sorry. *and it's flatly honest* I'm sorry I failed, I'm sorry this happened, I'm...it's my fault. I know that.

Hit me. Beat me down. I don't care...if you throw away our friendship because of this, then I have nothing to live for anyway.

[Kiryu actually looks faintly startled for a moment. Just a moment, it's gone pretty quick. But at least it's there.]

I'll hate you more if you die.

[Kiryu turns and stalks out a moment later.]
