[Raphael's prison cell is looking a bit empty today. It's almost as though someone has been cleaning up a bit. He sits on his cot, a small, smug grin on his face, and at last he speaks to the NV.]

I will be a free man tomorrow.

It seems this wretched modern age is finally worth something after all. I'm frankly quite surprised.

[At first, Amy is stunned, totally ready to bear more time apart from her father but at the sound of this news, she is positively stunned.]

You are coming home.

[It's hard to tell with Amy's expression, but her heart is brimming with joy.]

[draculalite]

Yes, my pet. They sentenced me to a few months for my guilty plea, and are counting time served-- something utterly unheard of to me.

So I will be free tomorrow, Amy.

[graceful_cutter]

I am glad, father. I look forward to seeing you here again.

[Which means Amy should get to spring cleaning the abandoned church in time for Raphael's arrival!]

[athermercy]

Well, congratulations. Your daughter must be thrilled.

[draculalite]

My thanks. I believe she is.

[athermercy]

She's been so patient and mature during all this time. She's a brilliant kid.

[draculalite]

She is, isn't she? So courageous and reasonable even in the face of all this-- moreso than myself, I dare say. Amy is a remarkable girl and I could not be prouder.

[ Erg. This is going to be awkward. Or annoying. Or both.

Joys of being a parole officer. She didn't even sign up for the job, it was just handed it to her. ]

It's a good step in the right direction.

[draculalite]

Thank you for the unwanted praise.

You really are to be my... supervisor, then?

[leading3men]

I am.

[draculalite]

You are a child.

[It might sound odd from a woman who fought him, but she doesn't bear him any ill will.]

Congratulations.

[draculalite]

Thank you.

[fightswithpurpose]

Are you going to do something special with your daughter to celebrate?

[draculalite]

Yes. I don't know what. I have little in the way of funds.

[rapturescreed]

What will you do with your freedom?

[draculalite]

Spend it with my daughter.

[rapturescreed]

And then what?

[draculalite]

Is that not all I should want out of life?

[whippings]

Hmph. So your defense attorney won, then.

[draculalite]

I pleaded guilty and was offered a plea bargain, tempered by my attorney.

[whippings]

Hmph. Keeping in mind the usual results of most defense attorneys, I'd recommend being grateful for what you got.

Hey, congratulations, Mr. Sorel!

[draculalite]

Thank you, Mlle. Suzimiya.

[brigadeleader]

Oh, sorry, I should call you Monsieur Sorel then, shouldn't I?

Well, anyway, what're you gonna do now?
