Mio amore...

[Giovanni appears reaching out to someone off screen--or not there at all. He's smiling faintly, sadly, his expression pained as much as loving.]

This is not a place for you. Perché, perché. Why do you have to be here. I would not wish this upon you. [He falters and his arm drops.] Maria... I love you, but I wish you were not here...

[For a long time nothing happens. Then the device seems to be noticed and, violently, a hand comes down on it; the device shuts off with a bit of static.]

Do not be tricked also!

...Yorda? I--

[sing-nonomori.livejournal.com]

...Do not trust it.

Listen to her! Yorda knows what's real. Trust in her!

Giovanni... Whatever they are, they're not real. It's just an illusion!

[That statement takes her back, but with all the things people are seeing... She's not so surprised. Still, it hurts to have to tell him this.]

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't listen to them. We don't know what's doing this.

[Oz can understand wanting to believe in a dream far from reality. It's a lie... but not one he has the heart to break.]

[You seem to be the only one.]

[:< Oz lies to himself frequently and wholeheartedly. But he doesn't know if he can sit there, and listen to this without saying a word. It's a choice-- shouldn't there be a choice involved?]

...Mr. Giovanni?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You, too...

[ This is very difficult. ]

Au'aern. Don't trust your eyes. It's not real.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I want it to be real.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

I've seen a few things I want to be real, too.

But they can't be. And they aren't. Do not let what you see trap you.

[needsmorefiagra.livejournal.com]

Our minds are being manipulated. It's not real ... It can't be.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

...It is real enough for me.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Giovanni...

...Are you safe?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I am perfectly safe.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

You already know the truth don't you?

...Would you rather I leave you be?

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

Father. Don't be drawn in!

It is not real, it could be a trap, I...I won't lose you again.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

E-

It is so perfect... I don't...

[vengefulblades.livejournal.com]

You are stronger than any man I have ever known, I know you can fight it.

Look around! It is destroying the people around us, I won't have it do the same to you! Please padre, please...let it go.

Giovanni-san...?

[He knows your pain. .. well, minus the part about hallucinations.]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Minato...?

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

You've been affected, too, then.
