Tales of the Abyss2005

Luke Fon Fabre:
I told you before. You're the original - you're the only one who can free Lorelei. The rest of us will do everything in our power to get you to Master Van. Then you'll free Lorelei...

Asch The Bloody:
[about to get brutally angry] Bastard!

Luke Fon Fabre:
...What?

Asch The Bloody:
[brutally angry] YOU STUPID BASTARD! Who asked you to do that?

Luke Fon Fabre:
What are you mad about? Are you saying you won't come with us to stop Master Van? Is me being a replica really that...

Asch The Bloody:
[brutally shouting in anger] Shut up! And stop calling him "Master"!

Luke Fon Fabre:
...Asch.

Asch The Bloody:
[puzzled in anger] And even now you're still saying you're going to "stop" him? What can you possibly accomplish? You're so naive it's disgusting! He is honestly trying to make a replica world. He believes it's the right thing to do. He has faith in it. I was a fool. I thought perhaps, even though you're a replica, if we worked together you might be useful in helping to kill him. You're me! How can you just accept calling yourself inferior? We're the same! Why don't you try to fight and prove who you are? Why can't you say you're superior? Why do you insist on putting yourself down?

Luke Fon Fabre:
It's not like that! I'm not you.

Asch The Bloody:
[surprisingly puzzled] Wh-what...

Luke Fon Fabre:
I am your replica. But I'm different from you. My thoughts, my memories, the way I live.

Asch The Bloody:
[brutally shouting in anger] Shut up! You're an inferior, defective replica! I refuse to accept you!

Luke Fon Fabre:
Whether you accept me or not doesn't matter. I'm not part of you or a substitute. [Asch tosses the sphere back to Luke] Asch! What are you doing...?

Asch The Bloody:
How amusing. In that case, let's make it clear! Clear that you're nothing more than a "copy"!

Luke Fon Fabre:
Asch, I have no intention of fighting you!

Asch The Bloody:
SHUT UP! Are you going to run away after all that babbling? You are your own self, right? Prove it! If you don't, I'll refuse to acknowledge you! I'll refuse to accept you!

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear:
Asch! Stop! You're making no sense!

Asch The Bloody:
[brutally shouting in anger] SHUT UP!

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear:
Asch...

Luke Fon Fabre:
Hey. Don't take it out on Natalia. I...

Asch The Bloody:
[brutally shouting] I am "Van's student"! ONLY ME! You're just an imposter.

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear:
Asch! How can you say such a thing?

Asch The Bloody:
I respected him. I wanted to believe in his ideal of rejecting the Score. I knew he just wanted to use my hyperresonance, but I didn't mind. If he hadn't said anything about that idiotic idea of replacing everyone with replicas... I would have wanted to stay his student...

Luke Fon Fabre:
Asch...

Asch The Bloody:
Come to Eldrant! Defeating the master is the role of the student. We'll settle who the real student is there.
