shhuuph... 
Apollo: Okay, we're alone now.
Apollo: Please, tell me what's wrong.
Eisenhower: Artemis... my husband, he's... he's been kept alive by the Necroenzyme.
Eisenhower: I just... I just don't want to lose him.
Apollo: I see. We... can't help you with that, unfortunately. If we don't do this, many people will die. If the monsters get linked back to you, who knows how they'll react? Helping with the Contingency Plan can atleast prove to them that you were willing to help mend your mistake.
Eisenhower: Goddamnit... "mistake" this... "mistake" that... It wasn't my fucking fault the serum's recipe got leaked out in the first place! I was just trying to bring back Artemis...! I'm not taking responsibility for this!
Eisenhower: I just...! 
Apollo: That's not the point! If we don't do this, people will DIE! This might just be the best option we have right now! Compared to getting ripped apart by monsters, the Counterserum would be a merciful option! Inaction will just result in more people grieving! Focusing on yourself right now is just going to make them think it's your fault!
Eisenhower: MY FAULT?! I didn't plan for them to use the serum in the first place! You know who's at fault, the people who used my serum! They used the enzyme knowing the risks and now you're saying they're going to blame someone ELSE?! Artemis doesn't derserve this... THEY deserve this! If they die, then that's their FAULT! I'D RATHER LET THEM DIE!!
Apollo: Alright, fine.
Eisenhower: W-Wait, I'm sorry--! I didn't mean to say-- 
Apollo: That's enough.
Apollo: It's nothing personal, I just can't rely on you if you're prone to outbursts like this. We can't risk making a mistake. But if people start seeking you out in retribution...
Apollo: I can't help you.
shhuuph...
Artemis: Didn't work out?
Apollo: ...Sorry.
Artemis: Please, don't be. He's not a very sociable person. It's even difficult for me to talk to him sometimes.
Artemis: ...I am worried, though. He doesn't have much people to talk to. Once I'm gone, the only friend he'll have is the robots down here.
Apollo: Mr. Artemis? 
Artemis: Hm? 
Apollo: I'll... try to reach out to him after this is over.
Artemis: ...thank you.
