[He never really agreed to meet her, she tells herself. She doesn't need to do this, to run out into the night and go looking for him. She doesn't really need to see him.
But, in reality, she does. It's her raison d'être, her truth and what drives her. If nothing else, she needs to see it through to the end, even if the answers she seeks won't satisfy her. (Knowing the truth won't make you happy.) She knows the risks. But without Vincent here, who else is there to go and speak with him? Who else would dare but her?
Though a day has passed, she can't seem to grow used to the steady beating of another pulse or his presence just beyond the edge of her senses. She's deprived herself of sleep since he's arrived, anxious and uncertain. Instead of waiting inside, she takes to the streets two hours after the sirens go off, eager to rid herself of her stress before she sees him. And it's only an hour or so later before she finally does go looking for him, following his trail to an abandoned skyscraper. She scales it with ease and without the use of her wings, coming to find him perched there and waiting.
Re-l barely hesitates before she wanders closer, though she keeps some distance between them just in case.]
Proxy One.
[The name is strange on her lips, not unlike the name 'Ergo Proxy'. It seems too formal and yet almost demeaning: he has no name, only his designation.]
