{The scent isn't able to keep up with how fast his cells are being depleted.}
{So all it's doing in turn is destroying him from the inside.}
Parsley: Kuh..
{Moreover...}
{The scent won't be able to recover anything...}

Ryoko: It's by no means miserable.
Kogarashi: If that's the case then...
Quit making such a miserable face as you cut a guy down.
(Sfx- Chira glance)
Kogarashi: Dammitall. The preservative properties of my honey's scent have reached their limits.
This is it.

Kogarashi: Kill me.
Tip the scales in your favor and take the peace you so desire into your hands.

I WILL come back and kill your family.

Ryoko: I will never in my life ever forgive you for this.
I will never forget...
How you hurt my family and people precious to me.
And I will hate you for the rest of my life.
But...even with that.
Even if you're a person I detest with every bit of my being...

014
(Sfx- Gooooohhh whooooom)
Ryoko: Even you should...
be able to eat tomorrow and then on too.
I hate you, but you deserve to live and eat.
(Sfx- Para para clatter)

015
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmmble)
Ryoko: We have to leave this place now.
Kogarashi: Go then.
Ryoko: We're not leaving you behind.
Kogarashi: I'll be able to regenerate given a little time since Parsley is here with me.
Of course if you want to assure your safe passage now's your chance.
Look...
I'm standing up, yeah?

016
(Sfx-Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
Kogarashi: What are you doing Honey...
You get out of here too.
Despite what I said, this is the end of the road for me.
Parsley: And that's why I'm staying.
Us sinners should be together until the very end at least.

017
Parsley: I'll use the remaining scent I have on you.
I won't control any other foodsuffs.
That way we can watch the end together.
Kogarashi: No, get out of here.
Parsley: Why?
Kogarashi: It's true that stories of loyalty are the most glorious of them all...
But in truth what we really want...
is the ones that we love to live.

018
Parsley: That goes for me as well.
