Sir Soul: Oh dear, looks like somebody wants it back, huh?
...well, I came here to help you.
It seems you aren't particularly happy with the body you have...is that right?
...There is a way to return you to a ghost again.... *he chuckles*
Sir Soul: Well who do we have here....?
...That's rhetorical. I know you're Dust.
And why should I spare him, in your eyes? There's room to negotiate, good sir.
Sir Soul: ...hold it...*the puppeteers loosen their grip on Adam*
*he takes out Adam's soul*
This thing....?
...you guys keep convincing me to destroy him.
*he turns to Adam* But I'm not killing you yet.
...You got anything for me...?
I'm not giving this to you without a deal...
Sir Soul: ...*he snatches them from him*
Partially. *he takes out Martha's soul.* I have this thanks to you...and...*he looks at Martha's body in Christopher's arms*...you won't need it back. *he puts it back away*
Adam's followed my instructions for the most part. He's obeyed. I won't destroy him, yet.
...I didn't really want to.
So, Dust... I'm feeling generous. I can grant you Adam's soul...but...
...you have to give me another powerful soul. A soul of a person who's significant or has something special about them. I can give you time for it...and Adam's life.
Sir Soul: ...Wait, when did Yuzu get here...? I thought she ran away...
...
Oh, Adam, my good sir, you seem fine...
*the puppeteers carefully loosen their grip on him and let him float on his own*
Sir Soul: You know what to do, lads...*he motions toward the rest of the puppeteers*
*a bunch of them grab Adam and hold him in place*
Thank you so much for Martha's soul, Adam...I appreciate it dearly...
...and your own soul as well...
Sir Soul: *grins*
You think I'm going to give these two souls back to you...?
They're unique ones. I will use them at my own will.
And for you, since you're a ghost now...I can tear you apart and erase you from existence...
Sir Soul: ...........You're...trying to guilt-trip me? *he laughs*
......You're a caring parent, how sweet. And yes, I can confirm that the absence of a good parent can bring a child into an emotionless state. From experience.
...
It's not much of a big deal, however...he can be one of us once he dies!
Sir Soul: *Smiles*
Oh, the souls. Yes!
I don't know...maybe I collect them...it's my job. It grants me power...*grins*
...
*he reveals a bunch of souls he has, including one that seems corrupted and dark*
...but we don't speak of that one...*he hides it away*
...
Sir Soul: *spots Adam*
...Aw, damn. I forced him to possess Martha, I forgot...
Well, I got her soul as I wanted, so who cares.
...I can free him, anyway. *he appears in front of Adam and smiles*
Sir Soul: *tucks his soul away*
Well, you're not going to have it.
...did you really think I would be that stupid? or kind?
They're synonyms, basically.
...
Sir Soul: Since I came to this form I've been harvesting souls. They can be used for many reasons...
Adam is a brave, smart soul. I could surely use it...and tear it apart if I deem it useless.
...Now if you keep resisting I'll have to tear your own soul apart...hah.
Sir Soul: ...Why thank you...*he grabs the soul*
Adam's soul...I've been searching for it since I found out he died. And look what I've got now...
...
...and since you're dead, I'd love to take your soul as well, lady...
...But I'll refrain from doing so for now.
Sir Soul: *places the soul back in her*
........you're right...It's your only life force, huh?
I don't care if you cease to exist. In fact, I don't care for anything. That's one of those things I left behind in my rotten soul...
But I'd want you to be erased in fashion.
...I can tear your spirit apart, that would be fun now, wouldn't it?
Sir Soul: .....what a charming lass.
Now, where was I...?
Oh, yes, the soul.
...
It's like that girl's soul I found near Adam the other day...what was her name...Martha?
...who cares. It's not the average soul...this boy had something special about him, it seems...
.......I wonder where that Yuzu girl scurried off to...
Sir Soul: *examines it*
........I'm going to keep this one....It's really quite the specimen...
...If not a bit corrupted by sorrow, that is. Mine was a bit worse. hah.
Ah, well.
...This Adam...I know he's still a ghost.
*to the other puppeteers*: Hey, lads, how about we go shred his spirit to bits and save the soul for later, eh? *he floats off in search of Adam*
