[ That is more or less what he thought, though he imagined Rebecca being made of chrome might have also played more of a factor. It certainly does for him.
He takes a thoughtful drag of his cigarette. ]
Speakin' hypothetically... let's say you did go with him, and he wants to pursue his dreams. What would you do?
[ It matters. Of course it matters. It's just that it's nothing compared to the factor of "Ryunosuke Naruhodo deserves to live his best goddamn life." ]
Ugh, I dunno! Prolly say "go for it, babe" and go be a deadbeat or somethin'.
To do... what? Be a sideshow freak hanging around a Golden Boy Attorney?
[ well, the first half of that doesn't bother her as much as the second. Even back home, she'd kind of relegated herself to that kind of presence. In any case, now the chrome comes up. ]
'Sides, what happens if my chrome starts to give out? Juzo. If... If I start goin' cyberpsycho over there, and they can't do anything... Don't want Ryu to see me like that.
I know someone who could probably help you with that last part. [ Mary is the best damn engineer alive, after all. ] But as for the rest...

[ Being sentimental is so hard. She wants to say that she's sure that Ryu would offer the same to just about anyone he knew was zeroed at home. That her heart is aching because she wants to know that he asked her because he can see a future for her, or even with her... But she's too much of a little bitch to ask outright. ]
Whatever. Guess we have to see if any of this shit can even happen. For all we know, I could be goin' back to bein' dead.

[ Final. He'll find a way. There must be a way, even if he has to drag her to a different universe by force. ]
The rest is gonna be up to you.
