Wolfwood (thinks): Don't hesitate.
Do only what you're here to do.
Before he realizes you're there--End it all.

Wolfwood draws a gun on Legato.

Legato: .......
It's been a while.
Do you want something?
 
Wolfwood: You've reached your limits, haven't you.
How about taking a break already.

Vash: Wolf...wood... He's...

Page 93

Wolfwood (thinks): I know.
I can't move my finger...
He's got me outmaneuvered.
Legato: So it finally comes to treason from you.
Idiotic thing to do.

Wolfwood's arm moves; he struggles to resist Legato's power.

Legato: This is stupid.
Hurry up and die already.

Page 94

Vash moves, grabbing the grating of his cell.

Wolfwood: See that? 
If you break your concentration, he can move, you know.
It's just as I thought.
Never mind how powerful you were before...
You've been concentrating on him nonstop for over half a year...
Things are different now.

The ship will be reaching Carcassus soon.
Have you forgotten?
We had nothing, but that orphanage took us in and gave us a home!

My only loyalty is to the mission, not people.
Based on absolute respect, committed to absolute abandonment of self, I am the perfect servant.
