getting where i want to be is more important than breaks vash

and that's, uh
a little
okay then

[ seems unkind to bioengineer a species that dies violently and painfully and apparently lays an egg while it's doing so ]

yeah? what happened to the other independent

[ ... does he want to know
knives had never mentioned any other Plant or Independent but clearly if there'd been another one
he'd have included them in his plans for Paradise, right
... maybe Wolfwood doesn't want to know
maybe he owes it to Kni to know ]

tofu
what is tofu where should i be lookin at
vegetarian
that's a word, okay let me see if they've got an aisle full of that
almond milk, huh
i thought it tasted funny but i've also eaten spoiled milk before so
i wasn't gonna complain

[doubledollar]

to explain a litter clearer, independents arent made on purpose
theyre a crazy rare phenomenon that even the engineers dont understand, they cant control us being born, and having one show up is sort of a freak accident, i guess

as for the other one, well
her name was Tesla.
she was born 50 years before kni and i
and she was... experimented on. me and kni found a file full of videos and information about the details of what they did to her when we were kids.

[ context to why kni was so fucked up about humans and why he freaked out when you told him about how YOU were experimented on, bud. ]

its a hard to miss aisle, its near the end of where the veggies are kept--i know we dont go down that one often cause we grow our own but it's a whole shelf of stuff

just pick up whatever's a good price
tofu tastes fine, i like it
and soy and almond milk are fine so long as you cook with them properly.
not that i think kni will be bothered with us drinking regular milk...

... that's just like humanity, ain't it
to make something they don't fully understand
and have it grow beyond their initial spec
at least it's a happy accident
even if you are a freak

[ is Wolfwood saying he's happy to have met Vash? the rumor come out and then there's the next bit and
um ]

... i'm doubtin you want to get into it
but i'm guessing it's less
record how fast she solved the puzzle and more
what happened to me
in terms of activity.

[ that's a lot of context.

wolfwood, once again, almost feels guilty. he might give Kni a little sideye where they're orbiting around each other. ]

it's the damnedest thing
i keep lookin away to read some of these packages to figure out what the hell you got me buyin
and stuff keeps manifesting in my basket
like magic

[doubledollar]

a happy accident, huh

[ why does that make his heart beat faster
why does that make him smile, so stupidly, down at his phone?
he feels it, in his chest. wolfwood just said he was happy, didn't he? ]

...I don't want to get into details, but. You've pretty much hit the nail on the head.
we found her. i can't even say 'what's left of her,' because despite the fact that she was in bits and pieces in several different tanks, i
i think she was still alive

[ which was the worst part. she was still alive, and torn to pieces. maybe she wasn't conscious anymore, but... ]

Like magic, huh.
Well.
Buy it.
The fact that he's showing any interest at all in eating...
There's hope for him, yet.
