Title: File 54 The True Meaning
Hide: Sorry for asking this so late.
Hide: You're a big help, Marlo.
Marlo: Don't worry about it.
Marlo: It's no problem.

Marlo: If your friends need help, we need to help them out.
Marlo: Friends are important.

Hide: ...Hmm.
Hide: To tell the truth...I don't want to get involved...

Hide: ...Ahh.
Hide: But I can't just say no.

Hide: Ah.
Hide: Marlo! Keep this a secret from mom and dad!
Small text in the left of Hide's bubble: And from Raul.
Marlo: Okay.

68

Marlo: I...
Marlo: won't tell them.
Marlo: For sure...
Marlo: Okay?

Kanou: This is Kanou.
Kanou: Kirishima, can you hear me?
Kirishima: Kanou-san! Where are you!?
Kirishima: What about the terrorists...?

69

Kanou: I'm turning on my cell.
Kanou: You can use the GPS to find my location.
Kirishima: Kanou-san.
Kirishima: The helicopter unit will join up with you, so don't do anything reckless.

Kanou: Heh.
Kanou: What're you talking about? I've had time to cool my head a bit.
Kanou: Don't worry.
Kanou: As long as they stay here, I won't do anything stupid until the reinforcements arrive.

Kirishima: And if they move?

Kanou: Then I'll...
Kanou: go in.

Kanou: Over.
Kirishima: Wait...
Kirishima: You don't underst-

Michael: "J".
J: Yeah?

Michael: We have a message from Maria who has infiltrated Tachikawa Water Services.
Michael: It says that Marlo has gone with Tachikawa Hide to pick up Takagi Ryuunosuke and the others...

J: To pick them up...huh?
J: What do they intend to do?

Michael: Well...
Michael: it seems that they intend to hide out for a while in...
Michael: Mishiro Academy.

J: ...Hah...

71

J: Ha...
J: Ah ha ha...
Michael: Should we send reinforcements to Marlo to ensure our hiding place?

J: No.
J: They still have the gun they took.
J: There's no need to create any unnecessary risks.

J: In fact, we can actually...
J: use this.

J: We can take care of Takagi Haruka...

J: If she stays alive...
J: there's a chance that they'll realize the truth hidden in the "Christmas Massacre" video.

J: It's about time...for us to go.
J: Even though we took care of all the risk factors...
J: the problems keep piling up.

72

Kanou: Something's wrong.

Kanou: If that's their hideout, there should be more people there, but there's no sign of anyone else being here.
Kanou: There're no surveillance cameras or traps and if they intended to stay here for very long, there'd be a guard...

Kanou: Damn it. What should I do?
Kanou: It's still gonna be a while before the helicopter unit gets here.
Kanou: Should I go in? Or...

Kanou: There's nothing to be conflicted about here.
Kanou: Didn't I come here intending to get revenge?

73

74

Kanou: ...What's going on?
Kanou: They've...
Kanou: disappeared...

75

Kirishima: Minami-san, thanks for all you've done.
Kirishima: How are the two who were infected?

Minami: In about an hour...
Minami: we'll know whether the antivirus worked or not.

Someone: Here's some handheld food.
Someone: Since you're free, feel free to eat some.
Minami: Thanks.

Minami: You eat some, too.
Minami: You haven't eaten in a while, right?
Fujimaru: I can have some? Awesome!
Text right of guy in back: Who'd eat the beef stew flavor?

Fujimaru: ...Minami-san.
Fujimaru: There's somewhere I want to go...
Minami: Hm?

76

Haruka: Houshou...
Haruka: -san...

77

Haruka: Wh...
Haruka: Who is it?

Fujimaru: Hm?
Fujimaru: It's me.

Fujimaru: It's your brother, Takagi Fujimaru!

Haruka: Onii-chan?

78

Fujimaru: ...Hey,
Fujimaru: Haruka.
Fujimaru: Are you all right?

Haruka: Welcome!

Fujimaru: O...
Fujimaru: Okay.

Haruka: I got tired of the game I rented, so I've had nothing to do...
Haruka: Maybe I should rent a different one.
Haruka: Do you want something to drink?
Haruka: I have green tea, black tea, and coffee.

Fujimaru: Then I'll have coffee.
Fujimaru: Oh...you just got your food.
Fujimaru: I just got some, too.

Fujimaru: I thought I'd come see how you were doing...
Fujimaru: and eat two day's worth of food with you...

79

Fujimaru: Haruka...?

Fujimaru: ...Haru-

80

Haruka: Onii-chan...
Haruka: Why did...Houshou-san...?
Haruka: Why...?

Fujimaru: ...She was a victim.
Fujimaru: I'm sure of it.
Fujimaru: Everyone made her believe things that weren't true.
Fujimaru: That's why...!!

Haruka: So she was killed!?
Haruka: She was shot that much by those "Third-i" people.
Haruka:...She died...like that!!

Haruka: I don't like this...
Haruka: I don't...
Haruka: Onii-chan, will you stop...?
Haruka: You don't have to do this...!!

81

Fujimaru: That's not true.

Fujimaru: Dad and I didn't just get wrapped up in this.
Fujimaru: We're part of this.

Fujimaru: I can't run from this.
Fujimaru: I just can't.

Haruka: B-but...!!
Minami: Your brother's right.

Minami: If we leave the terrorists be, a lot of people will die!
Minami: And we need Fujimaru-kun's help to stop it.

Haruka: You...can't just decide that!
Minami: Listen.

82

Minami: He has the ability to do things we couldn't even imagine with a single computer.
Minami: That's what we call a gift.

Minami: And when god gives someone a gift...
Minami: he also gives them a "mission"!!

83

Minami: He has to complete his "mission".
Minami: Please understand.
Haruka: ...Well, I don't!!

Haruka: I don't want to understand!!

Fujimaru: Haruka...

SFX coming from Haruka and from Fujimaru: *growl*

Fujimaru: C'mon, let's just...eat our food.
Fujimaru: Okay, Haruka?

Haruka: ...Hey...
Haruka: Onii-chan.
Fujimaru: Hm?

84

Haruka: How's dad?
Haruka: He was in the hospital, right?
Haruka: Is he...all right?

Fujimaru: Yeah, he's fine.
Fujimaru: You don't need to worry about anything.

Fujimaru: C'mon, Haruka! Get up.
Fujimaru: What's going on with them?
Fujimaru: I can't get them on their cells...

Fujimaru: Are you okay, dad?
Fujimaru: Otoya and Aoi are with him.

Fujimaru: If those two are with dad...

85

Hide: Club President Kujou!!

Otoya: Sorry, Hide.
Otoya: ...Who's he?

Hide: One of our employees and my mom's younger brother...
Marlo: I'm Marlo!
Marlo: Nice to meet you.

Otoya: ...Nice to meet you.
Otoya: Hide, give me a hand.
Otoya: I want to carry Fujimaru's dad to the car.

Hide: Okay.

Marlo: I've made contact.
Marlo: We're heading to the school.

86

J: Then...
J: we'll have to give them a nice welcome.
J: How about we give them a taste of...
J: "Bloody-X" while they're here?
