- Avery: Ughhh... I-I thought...
- Avery: That everything was okay...
- Avery: But now, he's saying... I can't go YET?
- Avery: I don't understand, but that means...
- Avery: I-I have to do THIS, right!?
- Avery: I have no choice but to complete my MISSION...
- Avery: You... YOU... wretched HUMAN...
- Avery: Just like BACK THEN...
- Avery: You ROBBED what little HOPE I had left!
- Avery: I won't FORGIVE you!
- Meimona: Avery!
- Meimona: Does it really have to be this way?
- Meimona: You're still going to fight us after all that!?
- Avery: Y... YES!
- Avery: As long as this BODY can still move,
- Avery: I will never FORGIVE any of you!
- Meimona: But, why... why are you doing this?
- Avery: Because, I,...
- Avery: From the bottom of my HEART, I... I...
It is all but a trick.
- Avery: I HATE YOU!
- Avery: I DETEST YOU, and this worthless, UNGRATEFUL world!
- Meimona: E-even so, please...
- Meimona: I don't wanna hurt you anymore!
- Meimona: I'd rather just end this peacefully!
- Meimona: Avery, please, don't do something you'll regret!
- Avery: Ughhh, ughhhhh... n-no, stop it...
- Avery: D-don't... call out to me... don't...
- Avery: Don't, don't, DON'T...
Remember this.
- Avery: Don't TORMENT me like THAT!
- Meimona: Uwaaaaah!
- Nino: Mei!!!
Evil, cursed souls...
- Nino: Are you okay!?
- Meimona: Ugh... I'm fine, I-I barely avoided it.
- Nino: ...Dammit.
- Nino: This is what we get for helping him?
- Nino: If I knew it'd be like this...
- Nino: Then maybe I should've just finished the goddamn job!
- Meimona: Nino... a-are you sure we couldn't try to heal him again?
- Nino: No, Mei! It's too late for that now!
- Nino: Get your weapon!
- Meimona: What did we do wrong...?
- Meimona: Why... do we still have to do this?
- Nino: It's not our fault.
- Nino: Avery's the who started acting weird.
- Nino: But, if he's going to attack us again,
- Nino: Then we have no choice but to fight back.
These pathetic souls, they are...
Aaaaaagh, foolish HUMAN!
You envy those with MEMORIES, YET...
With THEM, every waking moment is TORTURE!
To RELIVE such pain is endless TORMENT!
- Meimona: H-hey, the way he's acting...
- Meimona: I think he's forcing himself to fight!
- Nino: Even if that's the case, we have no time to worry about it now!
- Meimona: I-I just think, maybe we could...
- Meimona: Beat some sense into him again?
- Nino: Ugh. I can try not to go overboard,
- Nino: But that's only if he'll let me, you know!?
- Meimona: I-I'll try to call out to him again!
- Meimona: Maybe, this time...
...Meant to be exorcised.
- Avery: STAND BACK, winged!
- Avery: W-why... are you looking at me like THAT?
- Avery: Why are your eyes so full of PITY!?
- Avery: Do you THINK I need YOUR HELP!?
- Avery: Just LEAVE me ALONE!!!
- Meimona: You're forcing yourself to do this, aren't you?
- Meimona: Come on, Avery! If you just listen to us...
- Meimona: Then no one has to get hurt again!
- Avery: No! NO!
- Avery: This, this is...
- Avery: This is MY WILL now!
- Avery: AND IT DEMANDS YOU PAY FOR THIS!
- Avery: I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET EVER PITYING ME!
- Meimona: N-no, Avery, don't...!
Nino: Interrupt.
- Nino: That's enough!
- Avery: A-AAAAAAAA .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- --. .... !
--/-->
- Avery: U-ugh, ghh...
- Nino: Goddammit, kid...
- Nino: Why can't you see how hard Mei's trying for you!?
- Nino: Whatever you're weighting against accepting her mercy,
- Nino: It's definitely not worth it in the slightest!
- Avery: UUUGH, uuuuuu...
- Nino: You begged us to forgive you before,
- Nino: So why are you forcing us to fight you now!?
- Avery: S-shut... SHUT UP!!!
--/-->
- Avery: BE QUIET! Don't blame ME!
- Avery: Don't LOOK at me like THAT!
- Avery: BECAUSE, it's... IT'S...
- Avery: IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
Avery: Gather energy.
WHY, WHY, DID YOU CONDEMN ME SO!
OH, HOW I WISH I COULD HAVE REMAINED AS EMPTY AS YOU ARE NOW!
OH, HOW I WISH I COULD HAVE REMAINED AS EMPTY AS YOU ARE NOW!
This WEIGHT, this OCEAN of SADNESS, it's UNBEARABLE!
LEAVE ME ALONE...
Avery: Release.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
Go... GO AWAY! JUST DISAPPEAR ALREADY!
Go... GO AWAY! JUST DISAPPEAR ALREADY!
Aaaah, aaaaaah, .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- .- ....!!!
Avery: Cry, cry, cry.
( <-- SCROLL IMAGE --> )
- Avery?: UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
- Nino: W-what the hell!?
- Meimona: Ugh! S-so loud!
He just started shrieking out of nowhere!?
The noise is so shrill, it's piercing your eardrums...
The noise is so shrill, it's piercing your eardrums...
It doesn't even sound like a person's voice anymore!
--/-->
As if compelled by Avery's cries, the lightning sparks intensify. Bright bolts wildly spark from his thrashing, misty form, aimlessly scattering in all directions.
His attacks aren't even targetting you now.
Yet, it feels like the whole world is responding to his cries. The sand beneath you quakes. The mountains rumble. And the sky... perhaps this one is just your imagination, but the entire world around you somehow seems darker than before.
You reflexively cover your ears to protect against the noise.
But, it barely makes a difference... ugh!
But, it barely makes a difference... ugh!
Hell, that really, really hurts!
- Avery?: UUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Damn, it must be some sort of last-ditch effort to keep you away...
But if he thinks it'll stop you, he's got another thing coming.
But if he thinks it'll stop you, he's got another thing coming.
You have to put an end to all of this.
For Mei's sake, as well as Avery's.
There's no way he'd feel fulfilled going out like this.
!! .. - / .... ..- .-. - ... !!
...?
You suddenly feel an overwhelming presence above you.
Nino: What in the living fuck is that?
Mei: There has got to be a way to help him! Think!
Nino: Steel yourself.
Nino: Look up.
Mei: Look up.
Avery?: Who are you even fighting for?
Avery?: Calm down.
I think it's interesting how Avery's name in the dialogue boxes seems to have switched back to "Avery?" after the "cry, cry, cry" command. Because "Avery" is the name Kotori(?) gave him, it's not really his name, and I assume that's why it was displayed with the question mark. When Proxy appeared, though, the question mark disappeared, probably to imply that he slowly becoming less of the person he was before and more of just "one of Kotori's spirits." It coming back now means they might be getting to him, I assume.
I also find it interesting how the phrase "OCEAN of SADNESS" is Ruit / stealth colored. I can't come up with any connection to the latter, so presumably it must be a reference to Ruit somehow. Something to do with the "weight of duty," I assume.

Nino: You're dealing with something that seems overwhelming, but you shouldn't give up. Your ability responded once before, keep on using it and overcome this challenge.
