((Alright. Since everyone seems to be so concerned about him...))
「「 "I never got why you were always so interested in me." Joel, in one fast movement, had Rift against the side of Burr's head. "After all, even though we are perfectly identical, you still are the better of us two."
"Well yeah. But I can't still my curiosity... would you turn out to be just as bad as me?" Burr didn't as much as bat an eyelash. He just pulled his gun around and held Joel in a lock as well, tightening his finger on the trigger. "And you are. An outlaw. Running from the authorities. Joining the Wren."
"But you're a criminal too. Wanted for over 400 felons. You can't say that you have an easier life. Why don't you join us? You'd do well. I have all my feathers already."
"Dr. Krystalline could copy our genetic makeup... but not our personalities. Not our tendencies. I am only a lookalike to you in appearance. Not the fact that you've always liked working in a group. And I've always been on my own."
"I never could understand you, Burr. You were so rebellious. you even dyed your hair an unnatural green just to anger him... and in the end, you were his death." Joel began to tremble with anger. He loved the old doctor, who had given him life, from the DNA of this bloodthirsty, atrocious man. "You killed the doc, and I can never forgive you! I should do the same for you... let you wade in eternal sorrow forever, stuck in the pit of hell! Screaming eternally, that's what I would want for you! But I can't." All of a sudden Joel's arm went limp. "Maybe it's because you're too much like me. Maybe I'm weak. I don't know. I just can't. I dare you to shoot me. Maybe then you will get what you want- the exact same thing for me as I want for you."
"You talk too much." Burr's face was a cold mask, but he couldn't pull the trigger either. His blue-black hair blew in the rising breeze that was kicking up. It was his turn for his shooting arm to tremble... He had been issued a challenge, even, and he could not end Joel's life. "Go." He finally choked, and turned away. "I don't want you to see me cry."
Joel took the chance and ran, pulling Chanae along with him. Tears fell from his eyes too. They went into the sewers, hoping they weren't too late for rescue. Joel was bleeding badly; he had taken so much lead that every muscle in his left arm was torn. It may have to be amputated. "D*mn you." Were his last words to his gene-source as they blazed by.」」
