chapter 06: South End

[NOTE: There’s dialogue in the script of Akira responding to questions about Arthur, the random slasher and the Kisaragi BBS; I don’t know if I failed to pick these up by talking to him too early, or if this was removed from the game. His response about Arthur indicates that he hasn’t heard about the incident yesterday at Seagull.

edit: BBS topic can be picked up by visiting YUZI before South End in this section]

あれ？　西条？ お前も映画見に来たのか？

俺は今見終わったところでさ。

Ｈｍｍ？　Ｓａｉｊｏ？　Ｙｏｕ　ｃａｍｅ　ｔｏ ｓｅｅ　ａ　ｍｏｖｉｅ　ｔｏｏ？

Ｉ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｆｉｎｉｓｈｅｄ　ｍｉｎｅ．

[AKIRA:] Huh? Saijou? You here for a movie too?

I just finished seeing one.

---

今週は格闘物やってるから、 暇なら見てみろよ。

でもな…、一部ちょいやり過ぎな ところがあってさ…。

Ｔｈｅｒｅ’ｓ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｏｎｅ　ａｂｏｕｔ　 ｆｉｇｈｔｉｎｇ　ｙｏｕ　ｓｈｏｕｌｄ　ｓｅｅ．

Ｂｕｔ　ｉｔ　ｇｅｔｓ　ｐｒｅｔｔｙ　ｒｏｕｇｈ ｔｈｉｓ　ｏｎｅ　ｔｉｍｅ．

[AKIRA:] They have one about martial arts showing this week. You’ve gotta see it if you have the time.

But... it does have this part that’s pretty over the top...

---

あの動きはまず、人間じゃ どれだけ鍛えても出来ないって。

まあ、映画だし、フィクションだから そこ割り切れば楽しんだけどな。

んで？　西条は映画見に来たのか？ 俺に何か用なのか？

Ｔｈａｔ　ｇｕｙ’ｓ　ｍｏｖｅｍｅｎｔｓ　ｗｅｒｅ ｌｉｋｅ　ｓｏｍｅ　ｋｉｎｄａ　ｓｕｐｅｒｈｕｍａｎ．

Ｂｕｔ　ｉｔ’ｓ　ａ　ｍｏｖｉｅ．　Ｔｈａｔ　 ｍａｋｅｓ　ｔｈｅ　ｍｏｖｉｅ　ｉｎｔｅｒｅｓｔｉｎｇ．

[AKIRA:] The moves are stuff no human could do no matter how much they train.

But, it’s a movie. Fiction is fun because it’s nothing like reality.

So? Are you here for a movie? Or do you want something from me?

{TALK first time:

ん？　だから俺に何の用だって 聞いてるんだけどさ。

その様子だと映画を見に来たって わけじゃなさそうだよな。

どうした、言ってみろよ。 ほら。

[AKIRA:] Hm? Yeah, that’s why I asked if you needed something.

I can tell by looking you’re not here to see a movie.

What is it? C’mon, tell me.

Come on, spit it out!

TALK 4}

{FAILURE OPTION I saved before figuring out:

何だ？　特に用はないのか？

それじゃ、俺行くわ。 じゃあな。

[AKIRA:] What? You don’t need anything special?

I’ll be leaving, then. See ya.

[AKIRA:] Hm? Arthur-sensei? I haven’t seen him [at school] recently...

Yayoi’s really worried. His classes are really something, y’know.

You’d be really moved if you got to take one.

Well, I sure hope he gets better soon.

[AKIRA:] The... slasher...? Yeah, I heard he showed up the other day.

That’s just something I saw on the news.

So why are you asking me about it?

You better leave that to the cops. Don’t go sticking your nose in it.

{KILLER second time:

早く捕まってほしいよな。

Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｈｉｍ　ｃａｐｔｕｒｅｄ　ＡＳＡＰ．

---

俺はもう何も話したくないんだよ！

怒りで顔を歪める アキラの心に、 恐怖の思念が渦巻き始めた。

[AKIRA:] I don’t wanna talk about it anymore!

/A Thought of terror whirled in Akira’s heart as his face contorted with anger./
