I didn't expect to climb all the way up here.
NOTE:
Won't you tell me where we're going?
NOTE:
I wanted you to see this.
NOTE:
Let me ask the question properly.
NOTE:
The polluted Haze...
NOTE:
Despair... and misery.
NOTE:
You keep looking at the ground.
NOTE:
But you know what they say... Every coin has two sides.
NOTE:
Raise your eyes! To the sky!
NOTE:
No matter how much our technology pollutes it, the Earth does its best to remain magnificent.
NOTE:
You and your mom... After we met...
NOTE:
We used to go here every evening.
NOTE:
Both of us had busy lives but... This was our highlight each day.
NOTE:
We would spend the little time we had talking.
NOTE:
Talking?... Really?
NOTE:
Ha ha. Well, most of the time anyway.
NOTE:
I want to ask you something.
NOTE:
Is it... wrong if I can't remember her?
NOTE:
Not just her but... My father too.
NOTE:
Forgetting my parents.
NOTE:
Does that... make me a bad person?
NOTE:
Actually. To tell the truth...
NOTE:
I'm the same. I have erratic memories of the past.
NOTE:
Sometimes I ask myself. What did her voice sound like? What did her smile look like?
NOTE:
If it wasn't for this picture I saved, I wouldn't even recall her face.
NOTE:
I've checked through all the Triweb.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Triweb: (Not translated)
Our family pictures, video clips, documents...
NOTE:
They were all stored online in one place.
NOTE:
When the national power outage happened, all our files were just... Gone!
NOTE:
As if our entire existence up to that point had been erased.
NOTE:
Not just ours, but the whole city.
NOTE:
The only memories left are in our minds. And they're not even reliable.
NOTE:
Our mind is the most precious and trusty belonging in this day and age.
NOTE:
There's a simple explanation to all this.
NOTE:
We both went through trials and tribulations.
NOTE:
Sometimes our brain tends to block bad memories. As a protective shield.
NOTE:
So we can keep living.
NOTE:
You talk exactly like Shay!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: (Not translated)
Sometimes... I wish I could remember.
NOTE:
I do remember one thing.
NOTE:
Really? What was it?
NOTE:
The fire was still burning.
NOTE:
I was laying down outside... Regaining consciousness...
NOTE:
You were there... watching over me.
NOTE:
It's been a long time.
NOTE:
Look... I'm aware we don't get to spend a lot of time together...
NOTE:
I know. Don't worry about it.
NOTE:
You're doing what you can.
NOTE:
I wish things were different...
NOTE:
But... I need you to know.
NOTE:
I will always stand by you.
NOTE:
Tomorrow I'll meet your Director. I'll fix everything.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Director: (Not translated)
Getting me reinstated?...
NOTE:
It's all my fault...
NOTE:
Hey, we all make mistakes.
NOTE:
You wouldn't believe how many blunders I made when I was your age!
NOTE:
I'll do whatever it takes.
NOTE:
It's my duty as parent.
NOTE:
But... I don't know if I deserve it...
NOTE:
If you can't trust yourself... Trust me on this.
NOTE:
You mean... Validating my rating?
NOTE:
Do you... still trust me?
NOTE:
I don't have any pictures of us. This view would make a good one!
NOTE:
...Darn, the camera is acting up again...
NOTE:
Hey, are you sure you know...
NOTE:
Well... I guess I'll take another...
NOTE:
Here, I transferred it to you.
NOTE:
I'm glad you're here.
NOTE:
(Bro'! What are you doing?!)
NOTE:
(The fight starts in a few minutes!)
NOTE:
(If you don't come immediately, I swear I'm gonna...)
NOTE:
Hang on!... I'm on my way!
NOTE:
I'll explain later!
NOTE:
(Sigh) Some things never change.
NOTE:
Dee said I saved our world...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Dee: (Not translated)
But it feels more like an ending to me.
NOTE:
I wasted the biggest part of my life.
NOTE:
Lost the remaining person I truly cared about.
NOTE:
Who kept me living...
NOTE:
Surviving thus far...
NOTE:
Graff.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: (Not translated)
The more I try to make things right, the more I ruin your life.
NOTE:
Was this really my plan from the start?
NOTE:
I can't even remember...
NOTE:
Only one thing is for certain.
NOTE:
You'll never live your dreams...
NOTE:
You'll never become a Drumer...
NOTE:

Lia...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: (Not translated)
I hurt everyone who gets close to me.
NOTE:
Maybe I'm truly cursed.
NOTE:
Maybe it's time to end this...
NOTE:
Once and for all...
NOTE:
I... I can't stop fighting yet...
NOTE:
I just don't know... How to quit...
NOTE:
Tomorrow's another day.
NOTE:
"Be a detective..."
NOTE:
I should have found out my true identity earlier.
NOTE:
I tried to fool myself.
NOTE:
But I've always known...
NOTE:
There's a dangerous beast inside me...
NOTE:
Can't stay alone...
