Hata Ichirou
Aoyama Gou: 4:00 AM
I knew I'd find you here, Hata! It's time to end this!
After all this time... It's finally over.
Hey, Hata.
Those wounds you've given me have never stopped hurting, I can feel them even now.
But thanks to them... I've never been able to forget about you.
Even if, by becoming a Chiropteran, you may have forgotten yourself.
Just like you forgot about killing my partner in front of me.
You almost killed me, too.
Then, last week, I finally woke up.
It was all thanks to a very powerful drug.
I didn't get any side effects, either.
But despite that, losing my partner was like losing a part of my soul.
That's why there hasn't been a day I haven't thought about taking revenge on you.
I've been waiting all this time... Just for a chance to kill you...
Then why...? Why do I hesitate?
Shit, what am I doing, empathizing with a Chiropteran?
That's enough preamble.
Hata, even if you have forgotten her name...
Die! Have a taste of Kurenai's pain!
Aoyama-san, you've done enough! It's all over!
You finally got your revenge, didn't you? Good for you!
Glad to see you made it here.
Yeah, it was a total breeze.
Nobody was there to stop you?
Nobody at all. This Chiropteran didn't offer much resistance either, did he?
Yeah, but it's weird...
I'm glad I finally settled things, but I can't get these Chiroptera out of my mind...
Well, that's fine. At least it's all over.
Akama... You...
There's no point in something like "Muse" existing.
There's no one here. Nothing at all. Just a bunch of empty land.
This was nothing more than a testing ground.
You bastard... Are you the mastermind behind this?
"Mastermind", "Villain", there's no need for such things anymore.
Whoever has the strongest presence naturally takes his place at the top. That's what everybody wants.
And you think the Chiroptera will give you that strength?
That's just the mark of a weakling. An armor that a human wears to protect them from the outside world.
It's nothing but a monster.
There's no way you can rule over others by using it. It'll all slip through your fingers.
It already has. That's why they created something as vulgar as Muse.
Tarnishing Diva's name against my orders... They should be ashamed of themselves.
I need to start again from scratch, oversee the process and establish a better workflow so that her noble blood isn't diluted.
All I want is a united organization, and yet here I am. Having to get rid of cheap knock-offs.
Are you done bitching?
I have to say, I've learned a lot from you, Aoyama-san.
What'd you mean?
I admire your headstrong attitude. You taught me that it's good to be reckless sometimes.
Is that so? Then, would you mind surrendering? I don't know if I can-
What the hell, are you kidding me?! That's not fair!
