[That Dio doesn't fit behaviors into a consistent, let alone conventional, framework of psychological sanity isn't so much as a good or bad thing as it's just extremely obvious.] I'm not staying here either, believe me. I haven't gotten any dirt since I told you "red" on what happens to us, though...
[Doesn't that seem like way less passion than he'd in the condition of not completing his mission? Well, Dio has accepted his decision to tell her the truth, so he's past the point of tailoring his reactions to her expectations of a shallow outsider. At the same time, it's so weird how the events in Rhizome 9 rise to the fore of his mind as he anticipates the conversation about it... He knows in his head that he infiltrated the warehouse, won the Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition, and then ended up here. And yet the emotions of the memory are all wrong. Like he's trying to watch a twist ending movie for the second time. Left completed the mission, just as ordered, and then one thing led to another and now there's just disembodied Dio, who exists in some other meat suit, wondering what the fuck his purpose is. Basically just like any outsider who never heard what Brother was told by God. When he kills people, isn't one of the things he tells himself that living on such a dying planet is the fate worse than death? A fighting alliance is not something he offered without knowing precisely the type of dangers that brought Helena here in the first place.
He catches sight of the staircase, and it's not such a big deal since he's traversed it every single day, but it occurs to him that Helena's was the only other bedroom he ever visited, except for Wake.]
