--->"... We've ruined each other, haven't we?"
** There's also the death of Rei. By the time of her death she's almost completely unsympathetic, but it's hard not to have some pity for her given her past and her psychotic devotion to her brother. That same brother kills her because he knows she'll never stop trying to kill the people he loves. They share one last HeadButtOfLove before he shoots her stack, then cradles her body and cries. For a moment they're even briefly transformed into the innocent children they were rather than the people they are now. Kovacs wonders if she felt relief in her final moments, or if she realized what kind of monster she became.
