Florian Ngo's Links
We weren't very different after all. Right? Unless you were lying to me. But... I kind of hope you weren't. Isn't that a little humiliating?
... Maybe things would have been easier if I was able to trust you. I'm sorry that I couldn't.
you don't mind that i took one of your vests, right? it'll make sure i don't forget. maybe this is stupid to think, but... i hope that, wherever you are now, you know that i didn't secretly hate you. even if i'll never know whether or not you secretly hated me, instead... haha.
You were different from everyone else.
Were you being honest? Did you really care? ... I could never know something like that with certainty, could I?
... But... If we could live in a world where you could tell me for sure, that would be really wonderful, I think.
I'm happy.
Florian-kun, I'm... I'm sorry. You were always sort of an enigma. It always felt like you were holding everyone out at arm's length. I think all you wanted was to be cared about... And I'm sorry. I wish I had been there. I wish I could have stopped it. You weren't alone, okay? You weren't. I promise.
Was I scary? Maybe you were just like that. Nervous. I'm always worried about creeping people out. I hope you didn't feel that way about me.
Thank you for the quiet.
maybe... i-if we'd met in better circumstances we c-could have talked more..? i don't know, a-and i've never been good with things like this... but...
You're a part of my memory that won't leave. Even if we didn't really know each other. Even if I never saw you again.
... What would it have been like if I could have just said "hello"?
You know... part of me was always dreading meeting you again. I didn't really remember you that well. But Cella started going on and on about how you were grateful to me, and I just-
...Sorry. Maybe you're better off not really knowing me.
... Couldn't it have waited... just a little longer?
It is unfortunate, but your death was necessary, Mr. Ngo. I wish that things could have been different.
Maybe I trusted you. Even if it was a little bit.
Thanks for listening.
I never told a soul, Sir.
If con không muốn gặp má và ba, thì cái đó không sao. Má hope con không chết all by yourself.
Đụ má... hồi nhỏ và bây giờ. Mày hư quá.
Mẹ của mày nhớ mày đó. Mẹ buồn. Mày không cảm thấy đó là lỗi của mày hả?
Give me a break. I'm supposed to pick an artist for the REPLICA Project? What's that supposed to accomplish?
Alright, you'll do, I guess.
Oh, yes, good evening. I am doing good! Thank you for asking. And you? … Oh, you’re interested in my artwork? Thank you! I’m very sorry. I’m not able to sell my paintings anymore. Please forgive me. I’m very sorry.
good evening. how are you? i've been asked to inquire about your pieces. may i ask if there's a chance that you'll auction off something in the near future? you have an admirer in england.
Hello, hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Florian. You sell things? Can you sell me something, too? It can be anything. I promise I’ll take good care of it. Will you take care of me, too? Sorry. I know that something like that is impossible. It’s just my selfish wish. I’ll be happy as long as you just listen to me.
I’m Florian! That is my name. And you? You’re into marketing? Bringing all sorts of products to people’s eyes… I’m sorry that I won’t be able to see them. I only have one eye, and its sight is set on the things that I love. You won’t be able to get through to someone like me, because I can’t love anything more. I hope you understand. I’m sorry.
Well, nice to meet'ya Florian. The name's Adrian! Mhm, I'd say marketing is the businessman's art medium, bwahaha! But who's to say you won't see them? There's a limitless amount of experiences and things the world has to offer and people surely have limitless room in their hearts! But if that ain't enough to sell ya in, then I understand.
Hello! I’m Florian! That’s my name. You’re just like me - we’re both quite tall! But you work with such little things, don’t you? What do you feel towards them? Is it love? Or hate? If you love them, can you love me, too? If you hate them, can you hate me, too? I won’t know how you feel either way. It’s okay to give me anything.
Hello! My name is Florian. Do you think it’s beautiful, like yours? I love to read. Reading your name has made me so happy. People must love reading your work too, right? Your journalism. Will you write about me? Oh, I’m sorry. That was very selfish of me. It’s not like I can even open my heart to you, anyways.
I'm Florian! Hello to you! Good morning! I don't watch the news very much. I'm trapped, running in circles in my own head every day. I'm all about myself, you see. But you spend your time telling people about things that have nothing to do with you! Isn't that a generous thing? I wish I could bring myself to watch. Maybe I would learn to be generous, too. Maybe I would learn about others. Maybe I would learn about you.
Hello to you! Nice to meet you! My name is Florian Ngo. Your name is Strange Quark. Do you hate your name, too? I would say that the odds of two people with abnormal names meeting like this is low, but maybe it isn't that weird in the grand scheme of things. That's what science people say, isn't it? ... Ah, I'm sorry for assuming your name is one to hate. I think I'm just a hateful person. Maybe having a name like that is exciting and fresh... I should be more positive.
Hehe! Two people with abnormal names... maybe we were destined to meet each other, if you put it like that!
I don't really hate my name, I think it's quite fitting, since I am often told that I am a very strange person. But it's fine to hate your name, or be hateful, a little bit of hate doesn't hurt anybody. Or a lot of hate. Anyways! If you want to go by something else nothing is stopping you, to be honest.
Good evening! My name is Florian. Hello! Is it easier to work with robots than people? They can't feel, after all. They won't be able to judge you. They aren't like people at all, no matter how hard anyone tries. But don't you get lonely? I think most people care about loneliness. As for me, I think I would enjoy doing what you do. I would finally be somewhere I belong. I hope you treat those robots with love.
You're so enthusiastic...I'll do my best to keep up, haha. Hm, I wouldn't say they're easier, they can get rather finicky when it comes to coding them...If you're interested, I wouldn't mind having an apprentice...? (That sounds so...)
...I wouldn't say I'm lonely though. I have a family, and there will come a point where you find yours too--Oh! Do you want to see photos of mine? My sons should be around your age, I believe! Mentally, because they're all robots, haha...They're so incredible...I hope you're right though.
Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Florian! And you? Oh, oh. You do music! I enjoy music. I listen to it all the time. Do you like music too? You probably do, since it's your work, ha ha ha. It would be kind of weird to not like your work, right? If you're an Ultimate, that is. You don't look weird! I think you are quite normal. Hey, what are your hobbies? Do you only do music? Forever? Do you like spiders? I like spiders. Don't tell anyone else, please. You look like you like spiders, so that's why I'm telling you. Please message back soon, okay? - From, Florian.
Dear mortal. Greetings. You are to be commended for daring to approach me in a manner such as this. Many other humans have been bold enough to do the same... however, with the title you appear to possess, you have piqued one's interest. Therefore, you will be graced with a response from the one who lurks in the darkest depths of your nightmares... it is I, Count Kanda. You will address me as such, yes? Of course, one has dedicated itself to writing, recording, and performing metal music. It is a marvelous art form, is it not? You seem to agree, as you have stated you listen to music quite often. Are you a more casual listener, hm? Or are there particular artists or genres that you favor above anything else? Ah, you are an artist yourself... cut from a different cloth, but a creative type nonetheless. Tell me, is painting something that you enjoy? Does finishing pieces and sharing them with the world satisfy you? Does it make your fleeting time on this planet worth living at all? You have a peculiar standard for what is "normal" - vampires have always been the polar opposite of the norm. Were you unaware of that, mortal? You will know by now, surely. One's pastimes primarily revolve around various horror media, but also music, as well. What is it you enjoy doing in your spare time? Or is every waking moment taken up by your art? Spiders... yes, your assumption about me is correct. I am rather fond of tarantulas, in particular. They are pleasant creatures and make for delightful companions. Much better than human beings, I must say. Do you have a favorite type of spider, then? There is no need to fear, for I will not utter a word of this to another soul. Who is there to tell, hm? Should there still be courage within yourself and not an ounce of fear, perhaps you may feel inclined to reply to this. Take all the time you need... for one is capable of waiting for an eternity. Sincerely, Count Kanda.
