[insert text: The meeting where he found a place to be...]
Flashback!Director: An unusual tale, to be sure... / ...but the doctor seems certain that removing the jewel would be impossible. // He says you will most likely be this way for the rest of your life.
Flashback!Emilia: And why exactly can't we take him in ourselves?! You absolute brute, Papa!!
Flashback!Galmar: I rather think we have enough issues of our own at home already!
Flashback!Emilia: And whose fault do you think it is that Mama walked out on us?!!
Flashback!Director/Timothy: ...............
Flashback!Timothy: That ass of a father's screwed up my whole life. // I mean, who the hell... // ...has a weird forehead like this?
Flashback!Director: That forehead... / Does it get in the way when you wash your face?

2
Flashback!Timothy: Huhhh?
Flashback!Director: You know - you wash your face in the morning, don't you? Like this? / Can you do that all right?
Flashback!Timothy: O - / Of course I can! / What do you take me for?!!
Flashback!Director: I see. // Then it's not really much of a problem at all, is it?
Flashback!Timothy: !

3
Flashback!Director: Don't you worry, Timothy...
Timothy: Sensei?!
Flashback!Director: [aside]I have a rather large spot on my own forehead too, you know![/aside]
Flashback!Timothy: [aside]...huh...[/aside]

Timothy: What's wrong with you, Director-sensei...?

4
Timothy: D... // Director-sensei... // She looks... / ...like some kind of doll...

5
Emilia: Director-sensei! Everybody -
Link: ! / Wait - !
Timothy: ?! // Emilia...!

6
Timothy: Emilia! // Mngh!
Allen: (So it wasn't just the Level 4...!)
Emilia: Ughhh...
Link: (But that was just an ordinary bullet... // She's not an Akuma!) // !

7
Link: ?!! // Sister...?!
Timothy: What are you...?!
Broker: Ironic, isn't it, little thief? / Now you're the one being stolen away. // Heheh... / Oh, the reward I'll be given for this will be far beyond anything I ever got for simply providing hosts for Akuma... // To think that such a priceless gem was so close to me all this time... // I must thank you Exorcists for coming to inform me of his value.
Timothy: Why... / ...you...!

8
Link: I see... // I thought this all seemed a little too convenient. So there was a Broker in the equation...
[TN: Huh. The whole Broker thing actually showed up in the manga. Wasn't expecting that.]
[Text: "Brokers"... // In exchange for money, they offer up "information" and raw "materials" - people who could birth new Akuma. // Humans who work with the Millennium Earl.]
Link: Sinners such as yourself who offer themselves up freely to the Akuma... // ...are beyond God's protection.
Broker: Protection? Hah! Like I care!! // Who asked you to pick a fight with the Earl in the first place any...

9
Broker: ...way...?
Link: !!
Broker: Wh... / What...? // My body won't move...!
Level2: Level 2 Dark Matter. // I have only to gaze at a person for six seconds, and their flesh will harden, leaving them no more than a living doll.
Link: ?!

10
Level2: Once hardened, flesh is no longer able to move. / And since it is hard, it is inflexible... incredibly brittle.
Broker: Stop...!
Level2: Now, a question... What would happen if I were to gently press against it like this?
Broker: Aaaghhhh! The pain! The pain! Stoooooop! // I'm on your side! Stop this!!
Level2: ...On our side? // Then you should have no objections to serving as our food.

11
Level2: Mmmmmm~~~~~~!♪ // I have the Innocence~~! Time to go!
Timothy: N - / No! // Nooo!!
Link: (Six seconds... // It won't be easy to avoid that Akuma's gaze in this cramped corridor, but......... // It's still only a single Level 2...) // We cannot let you take that boy!

12
Level3: You're not even an Exorcist...
Link: !! / A Level 3...?!
Level3: Time to die~! // Gwahahahahahahhh!
Level2: That's right, there's three of us~!
Timothy: Mister...?!
Level2: Did you really think you stood a chance?

13
Timothy: Let go of me, damn you~~!
Link: I may not bear the black robes... // ...but I bear the black feathers.

14
Link: Though I cannot destroy you outright, I can certainly put you out of action. // (I have to hurry! // There's no time!) // With my art, I grasp the power! // With my skills, I release it!
Level3: DAMN YOU~~~!
Level2: Aaahh! He's coming this way!!
Link: With my heart, I form it to my fist!

15
Link: Hold your breath, Timothy!
Timothy: Mngh!
Level2: ?!
Link: Hijutsu: Kureha Enki!
[TN: "Secret Technique: Black-Feather Blazing Spirit"]
Akuma: !!

16
Allen: ?! / What the...?!
Level4: I'm not the only Akuma here, you know.
Allen: !! / What?!
Level4: Will they be okay, I wonder~?
Emilia: Timothy...!
Allen: Link!! // Can you hear me, Link?!
Timothy: Buahh! // *cough* / *cough*
Allen: Please, answer me! // Link!!
Timothy: ?!

17
Timothy: Mister Two-Spots?!
Akuma: What a guy... and he wasn't even an Exorcist...
Timothy: !!
Akuma: Though in the end, he couldn't beat the six-second rule... // Now... let's smash him.
