Whilling the Hours Away

Valentine	…Now let's see -- that's 19 Medici-affiliated families in Maplecrest.
Valentine	Marie is going to have a field day with this.
Painwheel	…YOU! VALENTINE!
Painwheel	It was you! You're the one that took this life from me!
Valentine	Well, if it isn't Subject 0-84!
Valentine	…What did Brain Drain call you again? Oh, right -- "Painwheel."
Valentine	It's been swell, Painwheel, but I'm busy. Turn around and head back to the lab.
Painwheel	NO!
Valentine	…No?
Valentine	You've been programmed to obey your Lab 0 creators without fail. How can you resist my order?
Valentine	Let's try this again: invoking Command Protocol 51! Access code: 36E-25-40!
Valentine	I order you to return to Lab 0 and forget that you ever saw me.

TRACK
An Uncertain Fate

Painwheel	…AUGH! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Brain Drain	CODE ACCEPTED -- COMMAND PROTOCOL 51 INITIATED
Brain Drain	OVERRIDING AUTONOMOUS CONTROL
Painwheel	No…! I'm so close! Valentine is right there! I can make her pay for what she did to me!
Painwheel	And… what's this? I can sense the Skullgirl's aura on her!
Brain Drain	RESISTANCE DETECTED
Brain Drain	SUBJUGATING AND SEQUESTERING RESIDENT EGO

Vs Painwheel at Nightmare Crest

TRACK
In Rapid Succession

Painwheel	AUGHHHH!
Valentine	…What? You're still here? Leave at once!
Painwheel	I said NO!
Valentine	Impossible… How could you overcome a Command Protocol?
Valentine	That shred of a soul we left you with shouldn't be enough to fight Brain Drain's control.
Painwheel	I can feel the Skullgirl on you, Valentine!
Valentine	Now that just won't do -- it would seem I've been hanging around with Marie too long and have been… tainted with her ethereal stink.
Valentine	The Skullgirl blood in you must be reacting to that.
Valentine	But, I wonder… Perhaps there's more to that blood than we knew.
Valentine	Let's conduct a little experiment -- come to the Grand Cathedral of the Divine Trinity.
Valentine	I'll be waiting… and so will the Skullgirl. See you there!

Vs Filia at Little Innsmouth (Night)

TRACK
Fugue In Three Goddesses

Valentine	You made it -- excellent!
Valentine	Subject 0-84 -- Initiate Command Protocol 51! Access code: 36E-25-40!
Valentine	I order you to return to Lab 0 immediately!
Painwheel	…NNGGH!
Painwheel	Heh, it won't work, Valentine! I'm in control now!
Valentine	Amazing! It would seem my theory was correct: your blood is resonating with the Skullgirl.
Valentine	The closer you get to her, the stronger your psyche becomes.
Painwheel	Enough experiments -- it's time for you to pay for what you did to me!
Double	…Lady Valentine, let us dispose of this aberration at once.
Valentine	No, leave her to me!
Valentine	The least I can do is put her down myself -- I did create her, after all!
Double	…Very well.
Painwheel	RRRAAAUUGHHH! I'm going to cut you to ribbons!

Vs Valentine at the Grand Cathedral

TRACK
Fugue In Three Goddesses

Valentine	Excellent… you're ready! I had my doubts, but I think it's time you challenge Marie.
Valentine	Go! The Skullgirl awaits in the catacombs below.
Painwheel	Why should I listen to you!?
Valentine	Do you want freedom? Do you want to reclaim the boring, humdrum life we stole from you?
Valentine	Until the Skullgirl is defeated, no one is truly free. And you have the strength to stop her.
Painwheel	You're right…
Painwheel	…But don't think for a second this is over, Valentine! I will find you.

TRACK
The Catacombs Below

TRACK
Dire Machinations

Painwheel	Skullgirl, I'm here to destroy you!
Marie	How curious: evil people made you into a monster, but you broke free of their control…
Marie	…Yet you still wish to do their bidding?
Painwheel	This is my choice!
Painwheel	Brain Drain… Valentine… This cursed blood within me… I don't give a damn! Tearing you apart is the only true path to freedom!

TRACK
Her True Power Revealed

Vs Marie at the Final Atrium

TRACK
Them's Fightin' Words

Valentine	The Skull Heart… this is why my life was taken from me.
Skull Heart	You poor, miserable child… I can return your life to you, and so much more.

Painwheel

No, I will not be enslaved by you, Lab 0 or ANYONE!

Skull Heart

Your freedom is an illusion! This changes nothing…!

TRACK
The Lives We Tried To Reclaim

Painwheel

…It's over. I can go home.

*knock, knock*

*knock, knock*

Painwheel

Mom, Dad… it's me.

Dad	M-MONSTER!
Dad	GET OUT OF HERE, MONSTER!

Brain Drain

Painwheel, return to Lab 0 -- we have much to discuss.

Painwheel

Do you really think you can control me…?

Painwheel

The truth is… you're next!
