Can't it? [Her voice is small, shaking.] Is that why... I died?

I'm not sure, but-- but if I did anything like that... at the SAZ of all places--!

That's where you were making a speech for Japan, wasn't it?

[Shit. He knows where this is going. He'd been trying to avoid this line of thought exactly. But no matter what excuses he throws into it...

The puzzle pieces add up too perfectly.]

It was... more than that. The SAZ was where the people of Area Eleven could be independent. They could call themselves Japanese again, and govern themselves.

It would have ended the rebellion peacefully, so... so if that happened...

Kaneda, I-- [She swallows a painful lump in her throat.] --I think I need to go.

Euphie?

[If her situation involved the Japanese...]

Euphie, don't do anything stupid, alright?! You don't KNOW what happened.

[Suddenly, there's nothing that describes the tone of her voice more than exhausted.] Don't worry, Kaneda, I won't do anything stupid.

I just... need to be alone for a while.

Thank you for being honest with me.

...Alright.

Take care of yourself, got it?

I will... try. I will promise you that.

[She doesn't sound sure, though.]

Take care, Kaneda.

[She hangs up.]
