「FLOATING TEMPTATION」
MIKA: "Haseegaawaa!!"
MIKA: "Haaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeegaaaaaawaaaaaaaa!"
YUKARI: "Pipe down already..."
YUKARI: "I heard you the first time."
MIKA: "You’ve gotta hear this, Hasegawa!"
MIKA: "There’s been a major, major incident!"
YUKARI: "... Alright, what is it?"
MIKA: "Listen to this..."
MIKA: "... Sooo..."
MIKA: "It’s about the apartment blocks near my place..."
YUKARI: "Ah, the ramparts of your 'Pyramid Palace'..."
YUKARI: "What’s going on there?"
MIKA: "... Are you being sarcastic?"
YUKARI: "Is that what I sound like?"
YUKARI: "'Sarcastic'?"
MIKA: "... A little bit."
YUKARI: "Maybe you’re just self-conscious about the place, huh?"
YUKARI: "... Anyway, back on topic."
YUKARI: "... What happened at the apartments?"
MIKA: "... There was a suicide, a kid jumped off the roof."
MIKA: "It's the third one in a row!"
YUKARI: "Always gossiping about the dead..."
YUKARI: "How can you still be so casual about these things?"
YUKARI: "You need to grow up..."
MIKA: "Don't tell me you're not curious!"
MIKA: "There's something going on with the middle-schoolers living there."
YUKARI: "I really thought you'd grow out of it."
YUKARI: "Guess I was wrong..."
MIKA: "Come on!"
MIKA: "Are you even listening to me?"
MIKA: "We need to find out what's going on with those kids!"
YUKARI: "I'll pass..."
YUKARI: "I feel like shit today..."
MIKA: "Come oooon..."
ARISA: "Hey Mika! What's up?"
MIKA: "Oh, hey! It's rare to see the two of you together."
CHISATO: "What are you talking about??"
CHISATO: "We're both in the archery club!"
ARISA: "Yeah!"
ARISA: "Chisato's my favorite senior!"
ARISA: "She's super sweet and she always takes care of me!"
YUKARI: "Who's this girl, Chisato...?"
CHISATO: "Oh, that’s right, you two haven’t met, have you?"
CHISATO: "This is Arisa Kahara."
CHISATO: "She joined us earlier this year..."
ARISA: "Yup, that's me!"
ARISA: "Nice to meet you!"
YUKARI: "... Quite a character, isn't she?"
CHISATO: "Don't be mean, Yukari!"
CHISATO: "... You shouldn't tease her!"
ARISA: "So that's your name!"
ARISA: "Nice to meet you, Yukari!"
YUKARI: "Show some respect, you brat!"
YUKARI: "I'm your senior, don't call me by name......"
MIKA: "Sorry, Hasegawa, that's just the way she is."
MIKA: "She can't help herself."
CHISATO: "She's not that bad..."
CHISATO: "You can't get upset at every little thing, Yukari."
YUKARI: "Don't you start, Chisato..."
ARISA: "Come on, we're all friends here!"
ARISA: "The four of us need to stick together!"
ARISA: "Am I right, Mika?"
MIKA: "Sure, I guess."
CHISATO: "You know, Mika..."
CHISATO: "I feel like you're becoming more and more like Yukari."
CHISATO: "In fact, you're a lot like she was when we first met you..."
YUKARI: "Ahhh, there's no way that's true."
YUKARI: "I'm much prettier, for one thing!"
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "Hasegawa?"
MIKA: "What did you just say?"
YUKARI: "... Nothing."
YUKARI: "We're done here, I'm going home."
YUKARI: "... Let's go, Chisato."
CHISATO: "You go on ahead, Yukari!"
CHISATO: "I'll catch up with you in a sec!"
MIKA: "... Someone's in a mood."
CHISATO: "............"
MIKA: "............ Ohh, I get it."
CHISATO: "... So, what were you talking about?"
CHISATO: "... Did something happen?"
ARISA: "Ohh, I wanna know too!"
ARISA: "You're such a dummy, Mika."
ARISA: "So, where did you leave it?"
MIKA: "Quit it!"
MIKA: "You should be honored that I asked you to help me."
MIKA: "I don't deign plebians with my presence so easily."
ARISA: "It's not like you gave me any choice..."
ARISA: "Who the hell forgets their PHS at school?"
ARISA: "Come on, try and remember where you left it!"
MIKA: "... Hmm, let me think."
MIKA: "It was..."
MIKA: "Damn, where was I?"
ARISA: "... Please, I'm begging you!"
MIKA: "Of course!"
MIKA: "I must have left it in the library!"
MIKA: "I had lunch there earlier..."
ARISA: "Alright, let's get going!"
ARISA: "Chisato's waiting for us."
MIKA: "I know, I know..."
ARISA: "The library's that way, Mika!"
ARISA: "Mika, that's not the way to the library..."
ARISA: "Ah, it's the Headmaster!"
Still hard at work, are you? It's pretty late. I commend your dedication.
ARISA: "It's not like that, Sir!"
ARISA: "This dummy here just forgot something..."
MIKA: "Arisa!"
MIKA: "Watch your mouth!"
MIKA: "That's the Headmaster you're talking to!"
That's fine! I want my students to talk to me as if I were one of them, I'm not big on formalities.
MIKA: "I'm sorry, Sir..."
MIKA: "Let's go, Arisa!"
ARISA: "Yeeees..."
ARISA: "Goodbye, Sir."
Yes, goodbye.
Say... You’re Mika Kishii from 2-3 and Arisa Kahara from 1-6, correct?
MIKA: "Huh!?"
Your homeroom teachers speak very highly of you.
ARISA: "Really?"
ARISA: "See, Mika? Our reputation precedes us!"
MIKA: "That can't be right..."
It's quite late, be careful on your way home.
ARISA: "Yes Sir, thanks a lot!"
MIKA: "... I can't believe he knows who we are."
ARISA: "He memorized every student's name and face."
ARISA: "Didn't you know? It was a hot topic for a while."
MIKA: "Wow, really?"
MIKA: "I had no idea..."
ARISA: "He seems like a good guy."
MIKA: "Yeah, just a kind old man..."
MIKA: "Thank goodness."
ARISA: "... You sound relieved."
MIKA: "Maybe I am."
MIKA: "I'm not sure why..."
ARISA: "Come on, let's wrap this up!"
ARISA: "Mikaaa, where's this PHS?"
ARISA: "... I don't see it anywhere!"
MIKA: "That's where I was having lunch, but..."
MIKA: "...... Nothing."
ARISA: "Are you sure this is the spot?"
ARISA: "It's not here!"
MIKA: "Keep it down!"
MIKA: "I'm still looking..."
ARISA: "Sheesh, calm down Mika..."
ARISA: "Wait, is that..."
ARISA: "Yes!!"
ARISA: "Mikaaa!"
ARISA: "I found it!"
MIKA: "... Where was it?"
ARISA: "I found it in here..."
MIKA: "How the hell did it get in there?"
MIKA: "... That's strange..."
ARISA: "Who cares? We found it."
ARISA: "So let's go!"
MIKA: "... I guess so, but..."
⦻ Something's not right ⦾ Let's go
MIKA: "That's totally weird though, don't you think?"
MIKA: "I couldn't have left it there!"
ARISA: "... Why not?"
MIKA: "That's not where I had lunch."
MIKA: "I didn't even come to this side..."
ARISA: "Someone must have picked it up and left it here."
MIKA: "... You think...?"
ARISA: "I do, so can we go now?"
⦾ Let's go ⦻ Something's still not right
MIKA: "It's just..."
ARISA: "Why are you so bothered about this?"
ARISA: "You're such a weirdo."
MIKA: "Why would anyone mess with someone else's PHS?"
ARISA: "No idea..."
ARISA: "I don't even have one, it's so useless..."
MIKA: "What are you talking about?"
MIKA: "It's super useful, everyone knows that."
MIKA: "I couldn't live without my PHS."
MIKA: "You should join us in the modern world."
ARISA: "That's the problem with your generation, Mika."
ARISA: "We value our time. We don't want to waste it with those lame toys."
MIKA: "You're always going on about 'generations'..."
MIKA: "I really don't get that way of thinking."
MIKA: "... It's just useful, that's all."
ARISA: "... Forget about it. Let's go already!"
MIKA: "Yeah, you're right. I don't want to keep Itsushima waiting..."
MIKA: "All that talk and she still managed to be late."
MIKA: "Itsushima's not here either......"
MIKA: "I should have taken my time as well..."
MIKA: "Maybe I should go on ahead by myself..."
MIKA: "But how's Arisa going to find me?"
MIKA: "... I should warn her."
⦾ Call her ⦻ Page her
MIKA: "What's her pager number again?"
MIKA: "... Oh right, she doesn't have one."
MIKA: "Neither do Hasegawa or Itsushima actually."
MIKA: "What are the chances...?"
MIKA: "I'll just call her home..."
MIKA: "... Hmm."
⦾ Call Arisa ⦾ Call Chisato ⦻ Press Redial
MIKA: "I wonder if anyone used it......"
MIKA: "Let's try re-dial."
Hello?
MIKA: "Hello?"
Who are you, Miss?
MIKA: "... Who...?"
MIKA: "Who does this number belong to?"
Is that you, Mika?
I can see you from here.
MIKA: "... From here...?"
MIKA: "... What do you mean?"
Don't worry, we'll meet each other soon.
MIKA: "... I don't follow."
MIKA: "... What the hell are you talking about?"
I wonder who'll die next?
After Sumio, I mean...
Maybe it'll be you?
MIKA: "... Sumio..."
MIKA: "... How do you know...?"
MIKA: "... Tell me!!"
I wonder who'll die next?
MIKA: "... Don't mess with me, asshole!!"
⦾ Call Arisa ⦻ Call Chisato
MIKA: "I wonder if Itsushima’s still at home?"
The number you have dialed is unavailable at the moment.
Please leave a message after the tone.
MIKA: "............"
MIKA: "Let's check on Arisa."
MIKA: "I'll just speed-dial 5 and..."
"... Hello, this is the Kahara residence."
MIKA: "Uhm, this is Mika Kishii..."
"Ah, so you're Kishii?"
"You're that girl who's always looking after Arisa..."
"Speaking of which, she just went out."
"Is she coming to see you?"
MIKA: "Uh, yes, that's right."
"I'm sure she'll be there soon."
MIKA: "Got it..."
MIKA: "Thank you..."
"By the way, could you make sure she doesn’t stay out too late?"
"Or if she does, could you tell her to call home?"
"Thank you..."
MIKA: "OK, I'll let her know..."
MIKA: "If she just left, she's gonna take at least half an hour..."
MIKA: "That's quite a while..."
MIKA: "... It's a kid from those apartments."
MIKA: "What else can I do but follow?"
MIKA: "The chase is on!!"
MIKA: "I gotta go after that kid..."
MIKA: "... What the hell!?"
MIKA: "Is this from..."
MIKA: "Yesterday's suicide...?
MIKA: "So this is the right building..."
MIKA: ".........?"
What's with that chick?
Hey, what do you think you're doing here?
She's probably just curious.
Her moronic generation will gawk at anything.
Don't you have a photo booth to be at?
They're so pathetic, always with their eyes glued to some trashy magazine...
That's all they contribute to the world. We can't expect any better from those disgusting social parasites.
Should we teach her a lesson?
Not a bad idea...
MIKA: "You kids wouldn’t happen to be talking about me, would you?"
MIKA: "'Cause it certainly sounded like you had something to say..."
Are you... An idiot?
Do you see anyone else around?
Ugh, girls like you are the worst...
Why not let me at her? I can take her...
Really, Hiroshi? Is that what you should be doing?
Please, let's be sensible here.
Now's not the time!
We'll get in trouble if Lil finds out...
Again with Lil!
Do you really have to make everything about her? She's got nothing to do with this!
Hiroshi, you're threading on thin ice.
Have you been flirting with the other side?
Stop it, Ruka!
She can hear us, show some restraint!
You're right, I'm sorry.
MIKA: (... What the hell's wrong with these kids?)
Say, why don’t you scram?
You’re not welcome in our commune.
This is a warning.
An outsider wouldn't understand our rules, there's no way in for you.
Do you understand, Miss?
⦾ I understand ⦻ I don’t understand
MIKA: "Of course I don't..."
MIKA: "This is a public space, right?"
MIKA: "I can stay here as much as I like."
MIKA: "Regardless of your made up 'rules'..."
This bitch doesn't get it at all...
This our turf, got it?
Ruka, I told you, stop it!
You should try and behave yourself, Miss.
You're not one of us.
Whatever. Don't come crying if anything happens to you.
Hiroshi, we told you to stop messing around.
Do you want to go next, huh?
Cut it out, let's leave it at that.
Now, Miss, be on your way.
MIKA: "... What a creepy bunch of kids."
MIKA: "At least they’re backing off."
MIKA: "That’s right, don’t underestimate high-schoolers!"
MIKA: "Before I go in..."
MIKA: "... So, about what you were saying earlier..."
What are you still doing here?
Wanna take me up on my offer? Bring it on!
MIKA "... Dumbass."
MIKA: "You think you can take me on?"
MIKA: "I know jiu jitsu, I'll wipe the floor with you!"
I was just kidding! Say, wanna go out somewhere?
MIKA: "... Don't get cocky, kid!"
MIKA: "Keep it up and I'll grind you into dust."
MIKA: "... Got it?"
I see. Yeah, I'm busy too...
MIKA: "... So, that whole speech from earlier."
MIKA: "... What was that about?"
I don’t know anything, and why would I, anyway?
MIKA: "You shut up so quickly..."
MIKA: "Almost as if you're afraid of something."
Me? Afraid? As if!
MIKA: "Is this about Lil?"
MIKA: "... That's a girl's name, isn't it?"
MIKA: "You're shaking at the mere mention of her."
Enough already, damn it! Shut your mouth!
MIKA: "Do you like her?"
MIKA: "Is that it?"
MIKA: "That's what it sounds like to me."
No, that's not it. It's just... None of us can disobey her, that's all...
MIKA: "... How come?"
MIKA: "Why does she get to boss you around?"
MIKA: "She's just a girl..."
MIKA: "... Isn't that weird?"
I really don't know, that's the truth. It's always been like this, ever since I was little...
MIKA: "... Tell me, does this have something to do with the suicides?"
MIKA: "That's what you were talking about earlier, isn't it?"
I... I’m not saying anything more, OK? Nothing! If I do, I might be next...
MIKA: "'Next' you say..."
MIKA: "What do you mean?"
MIKA: "Next for what?"
Just go away, please!
MIKA: "... I knew it, I'm onto something..."
MIKA: "... It's time to investigate!!"
ARISA: "No sign of Mika..."
ARISA: "Where is she?"
ARISA: "After I rushed all the way over here..."
ARISA: "She's always late..."
ARISA: "I could have finished watching the KinKi show."
ARISA: "I really wanted to see Koichi in a wig."
ARISA: "Maybe I could ask mom to tape it."
ARISA: "But where am I going to find a phone......?"
ARISA: "I could really use Mika's stupid gadget right now."
ARISA: "She's never around when you need her..."
ARISA: "She's so useless!"
ARISA: "Oh well... She's bound to show up eventually..."
ARISA: "Wait a minute..."
ARISA: "Chisato's not here either..."
ARISA: "... What if they went off together while they were waiting for me?"
ARISA: "... What do I do now...?"
ARISA: "... Huh?"
ARISA "Is she crying...?"
ARISA: "Hey, hey... What's wrong?"
ARISA: "Why are you so upset?"
ARISA: "I can’t help you if I don't know what's wrong."
ARISA: "Won’t you tell me?"
ARISA: "So, what’s the matter?"
ARISA: "What happened?"
He’s... Dead...
ARISA: "Dead?"
ARISA: "Who?"
Takumi... He died... Yesterday...
ARISA: "Yesterday..."
ARISA: "That suicide?"
Yes...
ARISA: "Is that why you’re crying?"
ARISA: "Did you like that boy?"
No, I hated Takumi. He was always mean to me.
ARISA: "I see..."
ARISA: "Why are you crying, then?"
It’s my turn next.
ARISA: "Uhh, your turn?"
ARISA: "Your turn for what?"
To dive. It’s my turn, today.
ARISA: "....!?"
ARISA: "... Hey, where do you live?"
ARISA: "... And what’s your name?"
Block C, apartment 803. And I’m Nana. Are you going to help me?
ARISA: "OK Nana, just go home and wait there."
ARISA: "I’ll come help you as soon as I can."
Please, if you don’t hurry, Lil will get there first!
ARISA: "... Is anyone else home?"
Both my parents work, so it’s just me.
ARISA: "... I see."
ARISA: "Just lock the door, and don’t open it for anyone."
ARISA: "You have to lay low. You can do that, right?"
Yes. Are you really going to help me?
ARISA: "Absolutely. Don't worry, I'm no liar."
OK...
ARISA: "Things are getting serious here."
ARISA: "I’ve gotta find Mika!"
MIKA: "... I still don’t have a clue what’s going on."
MIKA: "Lil... If I can find that girl, maybe things will make sense."
We meet again.
What can I do for you? Would you like me to record your data?
Would you like to save your game? YES | NO
Checking Memory Card...
Overwrite saved data? YES | NO
Saving data in Memory Card...
Data saved
Thank you. I wish you a wonderful journey.
MIKA: "Still no sign of Itsushima."
MIKA: "Come on, she's supposed to be the reliable one!"
MIKA: "Did she forget her role?"
ARISA: "Mika! Mika! Mikaaaa!"
MIKA: "Oh, Arisa..."
MIKA: "So?"
MIKA: "Did you fall asleep in the bath or something?"
MIKA: "You’ve missed a lot of action."
MIKA: "I’ve already seen the outline of the body, and I've been threatened by a bunch of middle-schoolers!"
ARISA: "This is really really really bad, Mika!!"
ARISA: "I met a girl, she’s going to kill herself!"
MIKA: "Kill herself? Like those jumpers?"
ARISA: "Exactly..."
ARISA: "She said she’s gonna do it today."
MIKA: "What?"
MIKA: "Really?"
MIKA: "It's that bad, huh?"
MIKA: "Things are really ramping up!"
MIKA: "There we go!"
MIKA: "I'm getting pumped!!"
ARISA: "This isn’t a game, Mika."
ARISA: "Nana said if we don’t hurry, she’s going to be taken."
MIKA: "Nana?"
MIKA: "Is that her name?"
MIKA: "Taken by who?"
ARISA: "Hmm... What was it again?"
ARISA: "I think she said ‘Lil’."
MIKA: "Lil..."
MIKA: "Those other kids were scared of her too."
ARISA: "Mika, she’s going to dive if we don’t hurry..."
MIKA: "Right now, Lil’s the key to all of this."
ARISA: "... Mika, please..."
⦻ Help Nana ⦾ Look for Lil
MIKA: "You’re right, lets help that girl first."
MIKA: "Then maybe... She can lead us this 'Lil'."
ARISA: "It’s that way, Block C."
MIKA: "Alright!"
MIKA: "Let’s go!"
Nana...
It’s me, Arisa.
I came to help, open the door.
You're here to help me? I'm so glad, you really came! Thank you!
What? No, stop! No!
MIKA: "Looks like this is the place."
MIKA: "What number was it again?"
ARISA: "EIGHT - OH - THREEEEEEEE!"
MIKA: "Keep it down!"
MIKA: "We don’t want those kids to find us."
ARISA: "YEEEEEEEEEEES!"
MIKA: "Quit it!!"
ARISA: "Alright..."
ARISA: "Hey, Mika."
ARISA: "Let’s take the elevator."
MIKA: "Good idea."
MIKA: "It is on the 8th floor, after all."
ARISA: "Huh!?"
ARISA: "You wanna take the stairs?"
ARISA: "Come on, that’d be exhausting..."
⦻ Take the stairs ⦾ Don't take the stairs
MIKA: "... It’s good for you."
MIKA: "You don’t get much exercise, do you?"
MIKA: "We should try and lose some weight when we get the chance."
ARISA: "What a pain..."
ARISA: "... We should have taken the elevator to begin with."
MIKA: "Oh, quit bitching!"
MIKA: "You can't be that tired if you can still whine!"
ARISA: "Alright, nevermind. Let’s go already..."
MIKA: "Here we are..."
ARISA: "It’s so quiet..."
ARISA: "Even with so many apartments, the place feels abandoned."
MIKA: "This whole complex..."
MIKA: "I'm getting some weird vibes from it..."
ARISA: "Someone’s here..."
MIKA: "Huh!?"
I said I was up for a tussle, didn’t I?
ARISA: "... Who’s this kid?"
MIKA: "Watch out."
MIKA: "He's one of those weirdos from earlier."
There’s two of you now? Even better!
MIKA: "A-Arisa!"
MIKA: "Wait!"
Come on, no need to struggle!
MIKA: "Thank you, Arisa."
ARISA: "What's wrong with that kid?"
ARISA: "I mean, who does that?"
MIKA: "There’s something seriously wrong with this place."
MIKA: "We’d better help Nana before..."
ARISA: "No!"
ARISA: "I won’t let that happen!"
ARISA: "Mika, let’s hurry!"
MIKA: "... Right!"
MIKA: "Arisa, would you mind...?"
ARISA: "... Sure."
ARISA: "Hey, Nana, it’s me!"
MIKA: "I can’t hear anybody..."
ARISA: "............"
ARISA: "Nana, it’s me!"
ARISA: "I’m here to help."
ARISA: "You can come out now!"
MIKA: "So, she's not in?"
MIKA: "You don’t think-!?"
ARISA: "... Nana!"
ARISA: "Why did she let her in...?"
MIKA: "Arisa, all we can do now is look for Lil."
MIKA: "Let’s get going..."
MIKA: "... That’s the kid from earlier..."
You’re still here?
ARISA: "Do you know Nana?"
ARISA: "We think she was taken by Lil."
Nana...? Why would Lil take Nana?
ARISA: "Do you know where she took her?"
ARISA: "This 'Lil' character."
ARISA: "Answer me!"
ARISA: "Do you?"
I’ve got to save her! But... I can’t disobey Lil.
MIKA: "Can you at least tell us where she lives?"
Nobody knows. But...
ARISA: "But...?"
ARISA: "Spit it out!!"
MIKA: "Get a grip, Arisa!"
MIKA: "You need to calm down..."
I've heard some people say they saw her leave Block A. You should try there...
ARISA: "Got it! Let’s go Mika!"
MIKA: "Wait, don’t run off by yourself!"
MIKA: "Hey, you."
MIKA: "I know you’re scared of Lil."
MIKA: "But if you're serious about protecting Nana, you need to take action."
I understand.
MIKA: "Wow... I almost sounded like Hasegawa there."
MIKA: "Good going, Mika!"
MIKA: "Arisa...?"
MIKA: "Where did she go?"
MIKA: "I didn't think she could get that serious."
MIKA: "She's taking this too personally."
MIKA: "I better take care of this myself."
MIKA: "... She’ll understand."
MIKA: "... Alright, let’s do this!"
MIKA: "Let's see..."
MIKA: "210..."
MIKA: "307..."
MIKA: "701..."
MIKA: "801..."
MIKA: "809..."
MIKA: "902..."
MIKA: "1009..."
MIKA: "I need to keep them in mind!"
MIKA: "... Huh?"
MIKA: "It’s not working..."
CHISATO: "Maybe they've gone off on their own..."
CHISATO: "We are quite late, after all..."
CHISATO: "Hurry up, Yukari!"
YUKARI: "... Always bossing me around, huh."
CHISATO: "Huh?"
CHISATO: "Are you still mad at me?"
CHISATO: "Look, let’s save this for later."
YUKARI: "I’m not mad!"
YUKARI: "I’d just rather be at home sleeping than here, worrying about Mika!"
CHISATO: "You and Mika..."
CHISATO: "You're just like a couple of lovers."
CHISATO: "It’s no wonder you worry so much about her."
YUKARI: "W-wait a minute!"
YUKARI: "How could you say that?"
YUKARI: "Do I look like I want to waste all my time running after her?"
CHISATO: "Jeez, Yukari. I was just joking."
YUKARI: "Ugh!!"
YUKARI: "Stop pissing me off!"
YUKARI: "You forced me to come, I'm only here because..."
CHISATO: "... Because you care so much about her. ♥"
YUKARI: "S-shut up!"
YUKARI: "Chisato?"
YUKARI: "Were you even listening to me?"
YUKARI: "Hello?"
YUKARI: "... Chisato?"
CHISATO: "........."
YUKARI: "Hey, are you OK?"
YUKARI: "Chisato?"
YUKARI: "You know this girl?"
CHISATO: "What are you doing here?"
It’s nice to see you too, sister.
YUKARI: "Whaaaaaaaaaat?"
YUKARI: "Uh..."
YUKARI: "I..."
YUKARI: "What?"
YUKARI: "Chisato, you..."
YUKARI: "You've got a..."
YUKARI: "Sister?"
Glad to see you're doing well.
Still the usual hypocrite, I see.
CHISATO: "I’ll ask you again, what the hell are you doing here?"
CHISATO: "What are you up to!?"
CHISATO: "Answer me!"
What, you still don't know? I’m with Him.
CHISATO: "... You dragged us into this, didn’t you?"
CHISATO: "I should have known it was you!!"
You’ve got it all figured out, haven’t you? Smart as always.
CHISATO: "Don’t dodge the question!"
CHISATO: "Do you even understand what’s going on here?"
CHISATO: "Getting involved in this... It’s a serious crime!"
This isn’t me. Whatever's going on here began here, I just followed its ripples.
CHISATO: "Then why are you here?"
CHISATO: "... This isn't your role!"
I’m a neutral party, as always.
My role isn’t any different from yours, is it?
CHISATO: "We’re harmless compared to you."
CHISATO: "You know that full well!"
That’s why I called you a hypocrite.
You call pollution 'harmless'? Is destruction 'harmless'?
I don't see it that way.
CHISATO: "That’s some comparison."
CHISATO: "So, where is 'He'?"
He’s watching us, right now.
Keeping his eye on things.
YUKARI: "What are you two talking about?"
YUKARI: "Chisato, what’s up with you?"
CHISATO: "I’m sorry, Yukari."
CHISATO: "I didn't mean to worry you."
So, this is Yukari?
Funny, despite everything I’ve heard about her, she’s just a simpleton.
CHISATO: "Yayoi!"
CHISATO: "How dare you say that about Yukari!"
YUKARI: "It’s OK, Chisato."
YUKARI: "I don’t care about what some kid thinks."
Don’t make me laugh. I’m no more of a child than you are.
You're only here because my dumb sister has such poor taste in friends.
YUKARI: "Say whatever the hell you want!"
YUKARI: "Is this really your sister, Chisato?"
YUKARI: "She’s got a mouth on her."
CHISATO: "Yayoi!!"
CHISATO: "Stop!!"
YUKARI: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Hey, Yukari? Get out of my way!!
CHISATO: "No! Get back!!"
YUKARI: "What the-!?"
YUKARI: "Where..."
YUKARI: "Am I...?"
CHISATO: "What did you do to her!?"
CHISATO: "If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive you..."
I just gave her a chance.
What happens next is up to her. I look forward to seeing it.
We meet again.

MIKA: "The one on this floor was... 210!"
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Hello?"
MIKA: "... Anyone home?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "I still need to search the place."
MIKA: "I'm not done investigating yet..."
MIKA: "......"
Who is it?
MIKA: "I’m looking for Lil's apartment..."
MIKA: "That might have been a bit too direct..."
MIKA: "... Nobody’s home."
MIKA: "The one on this floor was... 307!"
MIKA: "... Nobody’s home."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "Hey, can I ask you something?"
MIKA: "It’s about a girl who lives in this building..."
What girl?
MIKA: "Uhm... Her name is 'Lil'."
Go away! I’ve got nothing to do with that!
MIKA: "Wait a minute..."
MIKA: "What are you so scared of?"
I don’t have anything to do with her! I didn’t do anything! I don’t know anything about her or Takumi!
MIKA: "Takumi, the kid who jumped?"
MIKA: "Why did you bring him up?"
I don’t know anything, I’ve got nothing to do with it!
MIKA: "You know something, don’t you?"
MIKA: "Just tell me one thing, and I’ll get out of your hair."
MIKA: "Where is Lil?"
I only saw her once.
We were in the elevator together.
MIKA: "Which floor was she going to?"
We were going down, so she could have got on from any floor.
MIKA: "In that case..."
I don’t know what to do... I’m scared, really scared...
MIKA: "Thank you, you've been very helpful."
MIKA: "She's got to be above the third floor then..."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "I didn't see any lights on this floor..."
MIKA: "No lights on this one..."
MIKA: "None here either..."
MIKA: "The one on this floor was... 701!"
MIKA: "......"
Who is it?
MIKA: "Sorry, I was wondering if you had a moment..."
I do, what is it?
MIKA: "Do you know a girl named Lil?"
Huh?
MIKA: "Ah, please, don’t close the door."
MIKA: "I’m supposed to meet her, you see."
MIKA: "... We need to discuss something important."
OK, so what do you need to know?
MIKA: "I’m having trouble finding her apartment."
MIKA: "I don’t know the number..."
I don't know it either. I’ve never spoken to her, but I’ve heard some the other kids like to go to her apartment to play.
MIKA: "Really? How come?"
Apparently, it’s got the best view of the night sky in the whole building.
It’s a corner apartment, so there’s a ton of windows.
MIKA: "The night sky?"
That’s all I know. Are we done? I need to get back to making dinner.
MIKA: "Thank you very much."
MIKA: "The night sky... I see."
MIKA: "Maybe she's on the roof?"
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "This must be the wrong door..."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Hello?"
MIKA: "... Anyone home?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "There were two on this floor..."
MIKA: "The first one was... 801!"
MIKA: "And the other one was... 809!"
MIKA: "......"
Who’s there?
MIKA: "Hello. I'd like to ask you something, if that’s alright."
Sorry, we don’t do cold calls.
MIKA: "... What, do I look like a salesman?"
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Hello?"
MIKA: "... Anyone home?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Hello?"
MIKA: "... Anyone home?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "......"
Hello?
MIKA: "The kid next door told me Lil wants to see you."
Huh? Why me?
MIKA: "No idea, I'm just a messenger."
MIKA: "So, if you would..."
I see. I’ll go there now.
MIKA: "... Nice one, Mika!"
MIKA: "... Wait, wasn’t it broken?"
MIKA: "But now..."
MIKA: "It stopped at... The 10th floor"
MIKA: "Nice!"
MIKA: "That narrows it down!"
MIKA: "The one on this floor was... 902!"
MIKA: "......"
Hello, Miss.
MIKA: "Excuse me, would you mind if I asked you something?"
How can I help you?
MIKA: "I believe there’s a girl called Lil living in this block..."
Huh? Who's asking?
MIKA: "If I remember correctly..."
MIKA: "I was Takeru."
Takeru? Ah, yes, him.
I understand. Let me tell you what I know.
You can find Lil-
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "I didn’t ask about that yet..."
B-but I figured you were going to!
MIKA: "Hmm..."
MIKA: "Is that so?"
Lil never shows her face around.
She operates from deep within the building.
From the apartment that's furthest back...
MIKA: "Furthest back..."
It's on the top floor.
It has the best view in the whole building, the night sky looks especially beautiful from there.
Apartment 10... On the 10th floor.
MIKA: "W-wait a minute..."
MIKA: "Floor 10, apartment 10."
MIKA: "Just like that, I’ve got the number!"
MIKA: "I'm still the best at search and investigation!"
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Hello?"
MIKA: "... Anyone home?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "Whew, that was exhausting..."
MIKA: "But I’m finally at the 10th floor."
MIKA: "I know she’s just a kid, but..."
MIKA: "I’m starting to get nervous..."
MIKA: "Who the hell is this Lil?"
MIKA: "Everyone's scared of her..."
MIKA: "Oh, I’m sure it’ll be fine."
MIKA: "That said..."
MIKA: "There was another apartment with its lights on..."
MIKA: "... 1009."
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "... Are you Lil?"
MIKA: "I need to talk to you..."
MIKA: "Is that OK?"
Too bad. Looks like you’ve fallen for our trap, silly.
MIKA: "... Is that you, Lil?"
There's.
No one.
Here.
Who am I?
MIKA: "...... What?"
MIKA: "Wha-?"
MIKA: "... Huh??"
MIKA: "How did I get back here!?"
MIKA: "Just a moment ago..."
MIKA: "What happened to me?"
MIKA: "Ah, nevermind..."
MIKA: "I still need to search the place."
MIKA: "......"
Don’t let them trick you.
These children are all liars.
Everything they say is really the opposite..
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "What are you talking about?"
Don’t be fooled, Mika.
MIKA: "That voice..."
MIKA: "Who..."
MIKA: "Are you...?"
MIKA: "It couldn’t be..."
MIKA: "........................"
MIKA: "... They’re all liars?"
MIKA: "She said... Everything's the opposite of what they say?"
MIKA: "... I don’t get it."
MIKA: "Who am I supposed to believe...?"
MIKA: "Floor 10, apartment 10... 1010"
MIKA: "The opposite of that is... 0101?"
MIKA: "No, that can't be right."
MIKA: "... What about just '101'?"
MIKA: "Anyway, I should hurry..."
⦻ Ring the bell ⦾ Don't ring the bell
MIKA: "......"
MIKA: "No response..."
MIKA: "... The top floor."
MIKA: "... A corner apartment."
MIKA: "... The one furthest back."
MIKA: "... With the best view of the night sky in the building."
MIKA: "... So it's the opposite of this?"
MIKA: "... What does that mean, though?"
MIKA: "... The opposite of the top floor would be..."
MIKA: "... The 1st floor, I guess."
MIKA: "... It's not in the corner..."
MIKA: "... And if they said it was at the very back..."
MIKA: "... I need the closest apartment to the front?"
MIKA: "... Where you can't see the night sky."
MIKA: "......!?"
⦻ Ring the bell ⦾ Don't ring the bell
MIKA: "... Lil?"
Please, come in.
MIKA: "......"
Don't worry, I won’t harm you.
ARISA: "... Something’s happening."
ARISA: "Nana..."
ARISA: "... Mika’s in danger."
YUKARI: "Hey, you, what are you doing there?"
Don’t come any closer! They’re all watching...
YUKARI: "This whole building is oozing with bloodlust..."
It’s all over for poor Nana... There’s nothing I can do but die.
YUKARI: "Don’t say stupid shit like that!"
YUKARI: "Look..."
YUKARI: "Nana, was it?""
YUKARI: "If everyone just gave up and died, humanity would be long gone!"
YUKARI: "... Don’t you think?"
You don’t understand! None of you do!
YUKARI: "Please, calm down..."
YUKARI: "Lets just talk about this for a moment."
YUKARI: "... Is that OK?"
It’s too late, that other girl didn’t help me either. You’re all liars!
YUKARI: "......"
⦻ About that other girl... ⦾ You said they’re watching? Who? ⦾ I’m not lying to you
YUKARI: "... 'That other girl'?"
Arisa. She said if I hid in my apartment and waited, she’d come to help me.
But... It was a trick.
YUKARI: "Arisa..."
YUKARI: "I knew that brat would do something stupid..."
YUKARI: "You say she tricked you?"
When Lil came to my room, I heard Arisa's voice, so I opened the door.
But Arisa wasn't there... Just Lil.
YUKARI: "......"
⦻ Who’s Lil? ⦾ Are you sure you heard Arisa’s voice?
YUKARI: "... Lil?"
YUKARI: "... Who's that?"
She's always watching.
No matter where I am, she can see me.
YUKARI: "Nana, you don’t need to be scared"
YUKARI: "Look... There’s nobody else here."
Enough! I just want to be at peace.
That’s why I... Have to end it.
Stay away from me!
YUKARI: "......"
⦻ Be tough ⦾ Be comforting ⦾ Let her speak
YUKARI: "Are you done making excuses?"
YUKARI: "Who’s going to be 'at peace' afterwards?"
YUKARI: "Your parents?"
YUKARI: "Your friends?"
YUKARI: "Or just you?"
YUKARI: "How long would they have to wait to be at peace?"
But... Nobody cares about me...
YUKARI: "That's because you shy away from others..."
YUKARI: "You can't just expect kindness from a stranger."
YUKARI: "That’s not what people are like."
Then how do I find these people? How do I get to know them?
If I open up to them, who’s to say they will care about me?
No... I’ll just get hurt.
YUKARI: "I get why you’re scared..."
YUKARI: "Everyone is. The world is full of scary things."
YUKARI: "But Nana..."
YUKARI: "You don't need to be afraid."
YUKARI: "Even if you get knocked down, you have to bounce back. You’ll be stronger for it."
YUKARI: "I know It’s easier said than done. I’ve felt the way you do, more times than I can remember."
YUKARI: "Like you’ve sunk so far down, that you could never get back up..."
YUKARI: "... But you have to do it."
YUKARI: "You can die some other time..."
It doesn’t matter what you say, I can’t do that!
YUKARI: "You can, Nana..."
YUKARI: "Anyone can."
YUKARI: "You can overcome anything, if you put in the work."
I... Have to be strong
YUKARI: "That's right..."
YUKARI: "You don't need to worry."
Alright...
No... I can’t! I knew it!
YUKARI: "Nana, don't!"
YUKARI: "Why..."
YUKARI: "What are you so scared of?"
I’ve made them mad!
I can’t stop them! I can’t run away!
YUKARI: "Nana..."
YUKARI: "What’s happening?"
YUKARI: "Please... Don’t..."
Are you watching, Lil?
You want to see me dive? Then look!
I won’t run away, I won’t let you win!
You can’t do whatever you want anymore!
When I dive, things will finally change.
Thank you... Miss...
MIKA: "So, you’re Lil?"
Yes, it’s me. I don’t plan on running or hiding.
MIKA: "Uhm..."
I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point.
You want to talk about the dives, right?
MIKA: "I do, but what do you have to do with-"
I’m nothing more than a symbol.
MIKA: "A symbol?"
Yes, just a symbol.
I’m not the one telling them to dive.
There is a Pulse spreading through this apartment complex, like a frequency that you can tune into.
MIKA: "A Pulse?"
MIKA: "I don’t get it, what do you mean by that?"
This apartment complex is mostly made up of dual-earner families.
The children are either being taken care of at nursery, or at home watching TV.
The elementary-schoolers all get together and play games.
The high-schoolers don’t come home until late.
At this time of day, our generation is the only one here, cut off from everyone else...
MIKA: "... Is it really that extreme?"
Don’t you think so?
Do you think this the right place to form a nuclear family?
Even though we all live in the same building, behind each wall lies a different world.
Everyone follows a strict schedule of where they must be and what they must to do.
There's scarcely a sign of human life.
Their lives and work are split up like the homes in this building.
MIKA: "But even so, if things are bad..."
How was it? Walking around this complex, I mean.
How many people did you see?
MIKA: "......"
Think about it.
People your age live here too.
But did you see even a single one?
Of course you didn't, they stay out until late into the night in their closed-off circles.
Is it so surprising that a girl like Nana would be afraid of them?
MIKA: "... I mean-"
They form a pattern, like cells acting together.
By acting in a group, they show their true nature.
As they gather, they flex their strength like a form of political power.
Would you really set foot on their turf late at night?
MIKA: "... Well, no... But..."
Late at night, time belongs to your generation.
In the morning, time is shared.
During daytime, it belongs to children and housewives.
And when night comes, it is yours once more.
That small gap between day and night, when the moon begins to show its face, that is all we have.
MIKA: "......"
The hierarchy of this apartment complex is set in stone.
A kind of ecosystem has developed in the twenty years since its construction.
As people get older, they get to be in control of time.
As each generation goes by, time and space remain the same, don’t they?
MIKA: "That's just make-believe, a delusion."
The elementary-schoolers aren’t given time either.
They aren’t allowed to make use of this building like the others are.
So they gather in their rooms and play games.
They build their tiny villages, and with them come more rules.
MIKA: "... It sounds awfully lonely."
That’s why we, as a generation, are going to be reformers.
We won’t follow in your footsteps, we will take back time and space for ourselves.
We're not gonna be like you.
We will plant the seed for evolution.
By diving, we oppose the current standard.
That’s why there’s nothing I can do to change this.
Do you believe me?
⦾ I believe you ⦻ I don’t believe you
MIKA: "Do you really expect me to believe that?"
Don't you? Even after I explained everything so clearly?
You have no reason to doubt me.
MIKA: "......"
⦻ I believe you ⦾ I don’t believe you
MIKA: "I... Think I believe you, but even so..."
MIKA: "Why do you need to kill yourselves?"
It is impulsive.
They are not ordered to do so, but the Pulse calls to them.
They follow its call, and dive.
MIKA: "... Then what can I do?"
MIKA: "How do I stop these suicides?"
Tell people what’s happening here.
Let this become the incident that reforms time and space.
We are all alone in dark, empty rooms.
There is no peace here; no happiness, no warmth.
Without those things, nothing will change.
MIKA: "Is this change even possible?"
Not through a single person.
But through the Pulse, we believe that it is.
Because of that, sacrifices are unavoidable.
MIKA: "You say you're just a symbol..."
MIKA: "But you're their leader, right? You should be able to stop this..."
MIKA: "If you brought all of them together, and told them not to dive-"
It’s not that simple.
A feeling has grown inside this complex, one that's beyond my control.
But... There is one thing I can do.
MIKA: "To stop the suicides?"
Yes. Something only I can do.
MIKA: "......"
⦾ Do it... ⦻ How can you stop this?
MIKA: "How can you stop this?"
I can’t explain it.
This is my problem to solve.
No one else can interfere.
MIKA: "... That sounds worrying."
I can stop this.
If you try to interfere, I will stop you.
⦻ Do it... ⦾ You don’t have to do this...
MIKA: "Please..."
MIKA: "Do whatever you can."
MIKA: "... You have to."
I understand. Why don’t you have some tea while I get ready?
MIKA: "......"
⦾ Drink... ⦻ Don’t drink...
MIKA: "... I’m good. I'd rather not get poisoned."
You really are the worst generation.
How can you even say things like that?
Can't you see the irony?
Do you think it makes you cool?
I don’t think you belong anywhere anymore.
MIKA: "Say what you will."
MIKA: "We’re still the ones looking out for you."
Enough.
MIKA: "... What?"
MIKA: "What are you doing?"
YUKARI: "Nana..."
YUKARI: "How..."
YUKARI: "How could she just throw her life away..."
YUKARI: "... Is that Nana?"
YUKARI: "... She’s alive?"
YUKARI: "... You saved her?"
I had to take action. That’s what Mika told me. So I did.
YUKARI: "... Mika? You mean, like, our Mika?"
I wouldn’t know.
She told me nothing would change if I didn’t do something. That's when it hit me.
YUKARI: "Wow..."
YUKARI: "She really has grown."
It looks like Nana’s still unconscious.
YUKARI: "Here, I'll help you. Let's go!"
ARISA: "There you are, Chisato!"
CHISATO: "Sorry I’m so late, Arisa."
CHISATO: "I had to pick up Yukari..."
ARISA: "Oh, Yukari’s here too?"
ARISA: "Where? Where is she?"
CHISATO: "Well... We got split up on our way her-"
ARISA: "-cule Poirot!"
ARISA: "Well, I prefer Miss Marple anyway."
CHISATO: "What!?"
ARISA: "So... What now...?"
ARISA: "It's not much better on my side."
ARISA: "Mika and I got split up too..."
CHISATO: "... How did that happen?"
CHISATO: "Is she alright?"
ARISA: "... And then, Mika went to look for Lil. That's when we split up..."
ARISA: "It was my fault..."
CHISATO: "Don't worry!"
CHISATO: "Let’s just find Yukari and Mika and regroup!"
ARISA: "Right, I’ll go look for Mika."
CHISATO: "Wait..."
CHISATO: "I’ll find Mika."
CHISATO: "Lil could be dangerous."
ARISA: "Alright!"
ARISA: "Then I’ll go after Yukari."
CHISATO: "Arisa..."
CHISATO: "I feel that Yukari might be with Nana."
ARISA: "... Are you sure?"
CHISATO: "... Pretty sure."
CHISATO: "Do you know where they are?"
ARISA: "......"
CHISATO: ".................."
ARISA: "... That building, there."
CHISATO: "... Huh? How did you-?"
CHISATO: "... I see. That was impressive, Arisa."
ARISA: "Oh, it’s no big deal."
CHISATO: "So Yukari is in Block C."
CHISATO: "I’ll go to Block A then."
ARISA: "Just be careful, Chisato..."
CHISATO: "Of course..."
CHISATO: "You be careful too..."
ARISA: "Right!"
I really should thank you, Mika.
If it weren’t for you, I never would have had a reason to act.
Nobody really believes that our sacrifices will solve anything.
My hopes and ideals clouded the fact that I am still a child.
As a symbol I am weak, incapable of changing anything.
But, by ascending from symbol to substance, I can take back reality.
Thank you, Mika.
YUKARI: "The bloodlust... It's swelling..."
YUKARI: "It's horrifying..."
YUKARI: "It’s like a whirlwind of thoughts."
YUKARI: "... Wait!"
YUKARI: "Are they crying?"
YUKARI: "... They’re all crying."
YUKARI: "These children..."
YUKARI: "They're longing..."
YUKARI: "Longing for something..."
YUKARI: "Just like Nana was."
YUKARI: "......"
⦻ Run ⦾ Stay put ⦾ Fight ⦾ Call out
YUKARI: "... This is insane."
YUKARI: "Should I just run away?"
YUKARI: "What am I thinking...?"
⦾ Run ⦾ Stay put ⦾ Fight ⦻ Call out
YUKARI: "........."
YUKARI: "What would I even say?"
YUKARI: "Should I just run away?"
YUKARI: "What am I thinking...?"
YUKARI: "That's not like me... Running away..."
YUKARI: "I need to do something."
YUKARI: "But how could I get through to them...?"
ARISA: "Stand back!!!"
ARISA: "I won’t let you hurt Yukari!"
ARISA: "I'd never forgive you!"
ARISA: "Leave us alone!"
YUKARI: "... Oh, it's that little shit."
YUKARI: "What did you just do?"
ARISA: "Are you serious?"
ARISA: "I just saved your life."
ARISA: "You should be thanking me."
ARISA: "... Instead of calling me a little shit."
YUKARI: "... Sorry, my bad."
YUKARI: "Thank you, Arisa."
YUKARI: "But what are you doing here?"
ARISA: "... Rescuing you, duh!"
ARISA: "Chisato asked me to help you."
YUKARI: "Of course..."
YUKARI: "Chisato's always so reliable!"
ARISA: "But..."
ARISA: "I was the one who actually came to save you."
ARISA: "You should be thanking me..."
YUKARI: "You were just doing what Chisato told you to do."
YUKARI: "If you’d rescued me of your own volition, I’d be thanking you instead of her."
YUKARI: "... Get it?"
ARISA: "I dunno about that"
ARISA: "I’m pretty sure that doesn’t make sense"
ARISA: "... In fact, it makes no sense."
YUKARI: "... By the way, where is Chisato?"
ARISA: "... Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense at all!"
YUKARI: "Alright, alright, give it a rest!"
YUKARI: "Where’s Chisato?"
ARISA: "She went to help Mika."
YUKARI: "And?"
YUKARI: "Do you know where they are?"
ARISA: "Well, I do, but..."
ARISA: "I’m still trying to wrap my head around what you just said..."
YUKARI: "... Enough!"
YUKARI: "Let's go!"
ARISA: "Wait!"
ARISA: "What about Nana?"
ARISA: "Where is she?"
YUKARI: "She’s in there."
YUKARI: "That boy, Takeru, he’s looking after her."
ARISA: "... Is she alright?"
ARISA: "I want to see her..."
YUKARI: "Look..."
YUKARI: "We should take things slowly with her."
YUKARI: "She’ll be fine, we just need to let her rest for a while."
YUKARI: "... Is that OK?"
ARISA: "Yes, I understand."
YUKARI: "Glad you approve, now let’s move!"
ARISA: "......"
CHISATO: "... Where is Mika?"
Asleep at my house. Don’t worry, she’s fine.
CHISATO: "......"
Please, don’t try to stop me.
It has to end here, so the others can be safe.
CHISATO: "I could hear you crying out in pain."
CHISATO: "You're all trapped inside the abnormal reality of this apartment complex, forced to suffer every day."
CHISATO: "I’m starting to understand what's going on, but this... This isn’t the solution."
CHISATO: "People won’t care about your death. They won’t understand why you’re doing this."
CHISATO: "They only care about themselves."
That’s why we can’t just do nothing, and live on longing for something we cannot attain.
We have to make a point, no matter what it takes.
That's why we have to dive.
We choose the instant release of death, over the weight of our neverending fears.
We choose to dive.
CHISATO: "You're wrong."
CHISATO: "This release you’re obsessed with is not what you think it is!"
CHISATO: "You choose the instant release of death?"
CHISATO: "You're just running away from your problems..."
CHISATO: "It doesn't change what death is."
CHISATO: "The point you're trying to make is meaningless."
CHISATO: "Death is meaningless!"
CHISATO: "I’ve spoken to children who killed themselves."
CHISATO: "They had nothing to cling to but the faint connection they had with the living world."
CHISATO: "... They had no release, no joy."
You’ve spoken to dead people?
CHISATO: "......"
CHISATO: "Death brings nothing but sorrow."
If death has no meaning, then I will give it meaning.
I made a promise to Mika. I’m going to end it all.
CHISATO: "... A promise to Mika?"
You must let me do this.
My death will end the dives.
CHISATO: "... Stop!"
CHISATO: "Don’t take another step!"
CHISATO: "Nothing good will come from your death!"
It’s cold and scary, over here.
You’ll miss the warmth of the living world.
It’s so scary on this side...
Terrifying.
What are you?
That child...
You must be an angel.
Have you come to take me away?
Thank you.
CHISATO: "No, that’s not it..."
CHISATO: "Lil, look at me."
CHISATO: "I’m nothing like an angel!"
CHISATO: "Look at the reality in front of you!"
No one ever worried about me the way you're doing.
For the first time, I'm glad to be alive.
But it’s too late...
YUKARI: "... But are you really sure Nana wasn't there?
YUKARI: "She said you'd tricked her..."
ARISA: "No way!"
ARISA: "I would never do something like that!"
ARISA: "How could you even think that!?"
YUKARI: "N-no, that’s not what I meant..."
YUKARI: "You aren’t brave enough to trick and kidnap a child anyway."
YUKARI: "I was just checking, that’s all...
ARISA: "Fine..."
YUKARI: "You know..."
YUKARI: "I heard her talking in her sleep."
YUKARI: "She said, 'I’m sorry, Arisa'."
ARISA: "Nana..."
ARISA: "Here we are."
YUKARI: "I don’t see Chisato or Mika."
YUKARI: "It's too quiet, I don't like it."
ARISA: "......"
YUKARI: "......"
ARISA: "......"
ARISA: "... Yukari...? How could this happen?"
YUKARI: "... She’s still alive."
ARISA: "... She looks happy, wrapped up in his arms like that..."
MIKA: "Lil!!"
YUKARI: "Mika..."
That was the girl’s father.
CHISATO: "What have you done now..."
Maybe you're not so smart after all.
Didn’t you hear what Lil said?
This prank was manifested by the apartment complex’s own magnetic field.
In exchange for Lil’s life, her father had to give his.
CHISATO: "He's behind this, isn't He?"
CHISATO: "He must be. All this death is because of-"
You’re still so naïve.
Do you think we're all-powerful or something?
Such a congregation of human wills is beyond our control.
You'd be surprised by how resilient humans can be.
CHISATO: "Then why do you keep haunting us?"
CHISATO: "If you really have nothing to do with this..."
I’m just watching from the sidelines. What’s wrong with that?
CHISATO: "You call what you did to Yukari 'just watching'?"
Well, I got bored of watching.
CHISATO: "... That’s your reason?"
I don’t need any other.
CHISATO: "You’d do something like that out of boredom!?"
Everything worked out in the end, didn’t it?
CHISATO: "Now I'm mad..."
CHISATO: "Really mad..."
You don’t scare me anymore. You’re stuck in the past.
CHISATO: "You can't just toy with people's lives..."
CHISATO: "I won’t let you hurt them..."
Even if you stop me, you can’t stop Him. You know that, right, sis?
CHISATO: "Just shut up..."
CHISATO: "Don’t say another word!"
You won’t know until you try, I suppose.
CHISATO: "Get ready..."
BE SPIRITED AWAY
⦾ Something’s not right ⦻ Let’s go
MIKA: "OK, we shouldn't keep Itsushima waiting..."
ARISA: "Just what I was thinking!"
ARISA: "Let’s go!"
MIKA: "... Hey, can I ask you some questions?"
MIKA: "I still don't understand what’s going on here."
I told you to keep walking. Why are you still here?
MIKA: "I want to know what’s happening here."
MIKA: "... What that whole conversation was about."
MIKA: "You seemed like the best person to ask."
You think too much of me. I've got nothing to say to you.
MIKA: "Are you afraid of something?"
MIKA: "Is your tough guy act just a way to mask your fears?"
MIKA: "I wonder..."
MIKA: "Is that why you and your friends are acting like this?"
Afraid? You bet I’m afraid.
Afraid of what lies ahead, what’s coming next for me.
MIKA: "Are you saying you’re scared of the future?
MIKA: "Tough shit, so’s everybody."
MIKA: "I’m scared of it too."
MIKA: "That’s why we need to work together and-"
Right, get together and vote on a solution. Not this time.
Our year, no, our generation has seen what happens when you’re in charge.
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "What?"
MIKA: "So it's our fault now?"
MIKA: "Why would you think that?"
Why wouldn’t you think that!?
You’re always paving the way for us.
Every path we take, has already been walked by people older than us.
MIKA: "Of course it has!"
MIKA: "Isn't that normal? For your elders to pave the way?"
And what happens when you do?
You leave the roads in ruin, and leave those who come after to fix your mess.
MIKA: "... Must be nice, being a city boy."
MIKA: "You get to blame everyone else for your problems."
Just listen to me, will you?
I told you, this has nothing to do with you!
We can solve our own problems without you butting in.
MIKA: "But... What about what you just said?"
MIKA: "About my generation..."
I was just answering your question!
We don't care who's to blame for these problems. We’re just trying to solve them!
MIKA: "You’re delusional..."
MIKA: "How's killing yourselves gonna solve anything?"
MIKA: "Please, enlighten me."
You wouldn't understand. Nobody can, no one but us in this apartment complex.
Look at the windows and you’ll see what I mean.
MIKA: "... That’s your answer?
I’ve said all I can. Perhaps too much.
MIKA: "... I knew it, there's something fishy going on here..."
MIKA: "... It's time to investigate!!"
MIKA: "Hey, about what you said earlier...
Why are you still here!?
You’d better get lost...
MIKA: "Hold on......"
MIKA: "I still don't understand what you guys were talking about."
MIKA: "Could you explain it to me?"
If you don't understand, why don’t you just do as I say and get lost!
There are rules we need to follow here.
MIKA: "Rules?"
MIKA: "Could you tell me what they are?"
If I do, will you understand them?
MIKA: "I won’t know unless you tell me, will I?"
This place has borders.
Powerful borders, invisible to the average onlooker.
MIKA: "......"
Our generation is strong, you see.
We’re next in line, so we’ll have to clean up the mess you left behind.
MIKA: "Is that why you’re all acting like this?"
MIKA: "You really don’t have to worry so much..."
And be just like you, sure!
We actually care about our future.
MIKA: "I see what you’re getting at, but... Is this really something you should tackle by yourselves?"
MIKA: "I mean..."
Nobody else will.
That’s why Lil had to take action.
MIKA: "Lil, that girl you mentioned before..."
MIKA: "Who is she?"
MIKA: "A friend of yours?"
You'd better not mess with her.
She is hope.
Hope for us all.
MIKA: "... I knew it, there's something fishy going on here..."
MIKA: "... It's time to investigate!!"
⦻ I understand ⦾ I don’t understand
MIKA: "...... I understand."
MIKA: "I have no idea what’s happening here, but I won’t meddle."
Told you she’s an idiot.
Very well. Don’t come near this place ever again.
MIKA: "... What a creepy bunch of kids."
MIKA: "At least they’re backing off."
MIKA: "That’s right, don’t underestimate high-schoolers!"
MIKA: "... Hey, can I ask you some questions?"
MIKA: "I still don't understand what’s going on here."
I just told you to stay away.
What do you want?
MIKA: "I thought you’d be the best to ask..."
MIKA: "... About this situation..."
MIKA: "... Is there anything you could tell me?"
MIKA: "... I knew it, there's something fishy going on here..."
MIKA: "... It's time to investigate!!"
MIKA: "Hey, about what you said earlier..."
What are you still doing here?
Weren’t you listening?
MIKA: "I was, but..."
MIKA: "There’s a lot to keep up with."
MIKA: "In this apartment complex, I mean..."
Girls like you deserve no forgiveness.
You’re a just nuisance to us.
Your whole life is a nuisance.
MIKA: "...???"
MIKA: "What the hell did I do to you?"
MIKA: "You spoiled brat!"
You don’t understand.
You don’t understand!
MIKA: "W-wait..."
MIKA: "... I knew it, there's something fishy going on here..."
MIKA: "... It's time to investigate!!"
⦾ Help Nana ⦻ Look for Lil
MIKA: "Hold on a second..."
MIKA: "You said that Lil is coming to take Nana, right?"
MIKA: "So if we stop Lil, Nana will be safe."
ARISA: "... You're right!"
ARISA: "You’re so smart, Mika."
MIKA: "Oh, I’m really not."
MIKA: "I get that a lot, though."
ARISA: "We’ll need to find Lil’s apartment... Where could it be?
MIKA: "... Hmm, I didn’t think that far."
MIKA: "You should use that power of yours to find it."
ARISA: "That's not how it works, Mika."
ARISA: "It activates randomly, and more often than not it's for useless stuff."
MIKA: "I wish Itsushima were here... We could find the place in no time with her super psychokinetic powers."
ARISA: "Let’s just be sensible, right now."
ARISA: "We should search the place and gather information."
MIKA: "I guess so."
MIKA: "Good thinking, Arisa."
MIKA: "I'm impressed!"
ARISA: "You need to start living more sensibly too, from now on."
MIKA: "... No thanks."
MIKA: "Who'd wanna live like a total downer all the time?"
MIKA: "I live for the moment!"
ARISA: "Don’t twist my words, Mika!"
ARISA: "You're just lying to yourself. That's what losers do."
MIKA: "... Damn, Arisa, that’s cold."
ARISA: "It’s just the truth..."
ARISA: "We can't afford to laze about like your kogal-obsessed generation."
MIKA: "You know... Those kids from earlier told me the same thing..."
ARISA: "We all think that."
ARISA: "Your generation doesn't care about the future"
MIKA: "So you don't want to grow up like us."
MIKA: "... Is that what you're saying?"
ARISA: "Well, not really."
ARISA: "That's not exactly what I'm trying to say..."
ARISA: "Maybe a bit..."
MIKA: "Then what are you saying?"
MIKA: "You're upsetting me."
MIKA: "You're saying my entire generation's a failure..."
ARISA: "... Look, let’s go find Lil’s place."
ARISA: "Something tells me that when we get there, you’ll understand all this."
MIKA: "... Sure, whatever."
MIKA: "Let's go find Lil."
ARISA: "We should start from here..."
ARISA: "......"
MIKA: "What's wrong, Arisa?"
ARISA: "I'm still worried."
ARISA: "Nana might be..."
MIKA: "Come on, if we stop Lil then she'll be fine, remember?"
ARISA: "... I've got a bad feeling"
MIKA: "Hey, Arisa!"
MIKA: "Where are you going!"
MIKA: "Typical, just running off by herself..."
⦻ Run after her ⦾ Search for Lil
MIKA: "Oh, whatever."
MIKA: "I'll stick with her."
MIKA: "Hey, don’t run off by yourself!"
MIKA: "Why'd you do that?"
ARISA: "... I just had a really bad feeling."
ARISA: "I’m worried about Nana..."
MIKA: "I know. That’s why we need to stop Lil!"
MIKA: "... Come on, already-"
ARISA: "No, I'm going!"
MIKA: "... Fine, what apartment is she in?
ARISA: "803."
MIKA: "OK! Let's go!"
ARISA: "Hey, Mika."
ARISA: "Let’s use the elevator."
MIKA: "Good idea."
MIKA: "It is on the 8th floor, after all."
ARISA: "Huh!?"
ARISA: "You wanna take the stairs?"
ARISA: "Come on, that’d be exhausting..."
⦾ Take the stairs ⦻ Don’t take the stairs
MIKA: "Nah..."
MIKA: "We really should just take the elevator."
ARISA: "Of course, you don’t want to twist your ankle, do you?"
MIKA: "... Is that what you’re worried about?"
MIKA: "I see your point, actually."
⦾ Run after her ⦻ Search for Lil
MIKA: "... I must stop Lil first, I can always find Arisa later."
MIKA: "... That's the kid from earlier..."
You’re still here?
MIKA: "...I’ve still got some questions."
MIKA: "Do you know where Lil lives?"
I’ve heard some people saw her leave Block A.
I’d try there.
MIKA: "... Thanks."
MIKA: "That was easier than I expected."
I can’t say I entirely agree with her methods.
MIKA: "I see..."
MIKA: "Hey, can I ask you something?"
Sure, but I can’t tell you everything...
⦻ Ask about the suicides ⦾ Ask about Nana ⦾ Ask about Lil
MIKA: "Please, tell me..."
MIKA: "How are you kids involved with the suicides?"
That sort of talk is taboo, miss.
Questions like that will get you in trouble.
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "What do you mean?"
⦾ Ask about Nana ⦻ Ask about Lil
MIKA: "Who is this Lil, then?"
MIKA: "Why are you all so scared of one little girl?"
MIKA: "Do you know a girl named Nana?"
MIKA: "Poor thing's terrified..."
Nana? How do you know about her?
MIKA: "My friend met her on the way here, she just went to her place to help her."
To... Help her? Did something happen to Nana!?
MIKA: "She said that Lil was coming to take her, that’s why she was so scared..."
Lil’s coming to... Why Nana?!
MIKA: "Is there anything you can do about this?"
MIKA: "You’re a boy, aren't you? And you're scared of one little girl? You're pathetic..."
You don’t know her! You wouldn't say that if you did.
I can’t disobey her.
MIKA: "... None of you are going to take action. That’s why the grownups have to step in."
MIKA: "It’s what the older generation does."
MIKA: "Got it?"
Fine! I get it...
MIKA: "This is how we do things."
MIKA: "Don't look down on us."
MIKA: "He’s much softer than I thought."
MIKA: "He is still a kid after all..."
MIKA: "Block A... It's that way!"
ARISA: "803, 803..."
ARISA: "I'm sure that's what she said..."
ARISA: "......"
ARISA: "Nana, it’s me!"
ARISA: "It's Arisa!"
ARISA: "Don't worry, it's safe."
ARISA: "I'm here to help you, like I promised!"
ARISA: "......!?"
ARISA: "She’s... Gone!?"
MIKA: "OK, here we are!"
MIKA: "Some of the lights are on..."
MIKA: "There must be someone in those apartments."
MIKA: "Let's see..."
MIKA: "210..."
MIKA: "307..."
MIKA: "701..."
MIKA: "801..."
MIKA: "809..."
MIKA: "902..."
MIKA: "... And 1009."
MIKA: "I need to keep them in mind!"
⦾ About that other girl... ⦻ You said they’re watching? Who? ⦾ I’m not lying to you
YUKARI: "This bloodlust I'm sensing, is it coming from somebody?"
YUKARI: "You said you were being watched, didn’t you?"
Yes, I’m always being watched.
It’s my turn... To do it.
I can’t escape.
YUKARI: "... What kind of reasoning is that?"
YUKARI: "I don’t get you at all."
YUKARI: "So what if people are watching you?"
YUKARI: "If you just ignore them, they won’t be a problem."
You don’t understand!
If you knew what Lil was like, you wouldn’t say that.
YUKARI: "......"
⦾ Who’s Lil? ⦻ Be comforting
YUKARI: (I should just try to calm her down...)
YUKARI: "... Hey, don’t worry."
YUKARI: "Me and my friends are going to help you."
YUKARI: "Everything's gonna be OK."
YUKARI: "Just take a step back, alright...?"
Liar! You’re all liars!
That's why Lil told us all that stuff about being reformers.
We can’t rely on you grownups, just like Lil said.
She was right... I have to do as she said...
YUKARI: "Nana, wait..."
⦾ About that other girl... ⦾ You said they’re watching? Who? ⦻ I’m not lying to you
YUKARI: "I’m not lying to you..."
YUKARI: "Just hold on, everything’s gonna be OK."
The other girl lied to me too.
She said she’d come help me.
YUKARI: "I’m not lying."
YUKARI: "I promise I can help you, OK?"
You’re her friend, aren’t you?
You and Arisa, you’re both liars like everyone else...
YUKARI: "Arisa...?"
YUKARI: "So she was the girl you told me about, huh?"
She tricked me.
She made me open the door. And then...
YUKARI: "... Are you sure it was her?"
YUKARI: "She may be rude, but she's not straight up evil."
I heard her, it was definitely her voice.
That's why...
YUKARI: "......"
⦻ Are you sure it was Arisa’s voice? ⦾ Be comforting
YUKARI: "Are you really sure it was her voice?"
It was her speaking, I’m sure!
YUKARI: "... Did you see her?"
I didn’t... But I'm sure I heard her!
YUKARI: "... Even if it was her, would would you really throw your life away because of something she did?"
YUKARI: "Does this seem like a good idea to you?"
To me? But I was tricked!
It’s not my fault!
Just stop...
YUKARI: "Nana..."
Stop... My mind's made up.
I have to do this, to be at peace.
No one else can stop this... Stay away from me!
⦾ Be tough ⦾ Be comforting ⦻ Let her speak
YUKARI: "Do as you like, then."
YUKARI: "I won’t interfere anymore, you should do what you think is right."
YUKARI: "... So? What now?"
I'm all alone.
I can't live like this.
I can't go on.
YUKARI: "... So what's stopping you?"
Aren't you worried about me?
YUKARI: "......"
⦾ I believe you ⦻ I don’t believe you
MIKA: "... I can’t."
MIKA: "Everyone I’ve talked to is terrified of you."
MIKA: "And now you sit there lecturing me, like you're talking about something normal. How am I supposed to feel?"
OK, I see.
You look tired, would you like some tea?
⦾ Do it... ⦻ You don’t have to do this...
MIKA: "... It’s OK, you don’t have to do this."
MIKA: "There’s got to be something else we can try."
I see. In that case, please do.
If there's anything you can do, go ahead.
You look a bit tired.
What would you say to some tea?
⦻ Drink... ⦾ Don’t drink...
MIKA: "Sure... Thank you."
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "What the-"
MIKA: "... Why does it hurt..."
Because you didn’t believe me.
⦻ Drink... ⦾ Don’t drink...
MIKA: "Sure... Thank you"
MIKA: "Huh?"
MIKA: "What the-"
MIKA: "......"
⦾ Run ⦾ Stay put ⦻ Fight ⦾ Call out
YUKARI: "But there’s no way I’d win..."
YUKARI: "Should I just run away?"
YUKARI: "What am I thinking...?"
YUKARI: "That's not like me... Running away..."
YUKARI: "I need to do something."
YUKARI: "But how could I get through to them...?"
YUKARI: "... Why didn’t you go to Nana straight away?"
YUKARI: "If you had, none of this would have happened."
ARISA: "You should be asking Mika."
ARISA: "And I don’t see her anywhere..."
YUKARI: "Whatever. She was saved in the end."
YUKARI: "I guess it all turned out OK, no?"
ARISA: "... Yeah."
YUKARI: "You know..."
YUKARI: "I heard her talking in her sleep."
YUKARI: "She said, 'I’m sorry, Arisa'."
ARISA: "Nana..."
