Following is a Gmail chat I had with the Antipode about this poignant "conversation" I had with police officer Mako Ando, of LUX-PAIN. If only all police officers spoke like 15 year old girls. I put "conversation" in quotes because she's the only one talking. (Note: All misuse of punctuation is represented as it exists in the game.)

/*convo begin*/

Chup: Ok, and now, a reading from the book of LUX-PAIN...

"OK, I'm gonna' get pumped!"

A woman was screaming at the evening sea.
It was Mako Ando.

She finishes screaming and walks toward Atsuki, looking satisfied.

"Wow, you surprised me!"
"I didn't realize. . ."
"I, uh, actually, uh, was trying to pump myself up. . ."
"We keep meeting today!"
"So, do you come to this hill often?"
"I love this hill."
"Yui & I would cut c|ass to eat lunch here in school."
"But don't tell anyone!"
"We had so much fun."
"I have fun now too. I'm so happy to live in this city."
"It's my favorite city ever!"
"Ah, this is the kind of thing couples talk about."

Antipode: !?

Chup: "But I love it, so I wanna protect it."
"This town, and it's people."
"OK, back to work for me!"
"See you!"

[And for some reason, I am awarded 500 experience points.]

Antipode: !?

Chup: For what? FOR WHAT? WHAT DID I DO!?

Antipode: Endured that conversation

Chup: LOL

/*convo end*/

Because, really, we all need to scream, "I'm gonna' get pumped" at the evening sea once in awhile.
