sfx: kiiiiiiin

132)
M(2b): Excuse me...umm, I'm the lawyer who just called here...
sfx: gata gata
M: Ahh!
sfx: gata gata

133)
Y: Ah
Y: Ahh...
?: Make yourself at home, sensei.
?: It's hot as hell out there...we appreciate you coming all the way here.
?(2b): Hey! Get the sensei a cold drink, would ya?
B: Yes sir!
?: Here you go.

134)
Y: Ahhhhhhhh
sfx: kiiiiiin
Y(2b): Haa, haa...
?: Youko...
?: Don't make such vulgar sounds in front of our guest.

135)
L(2b): No, excuse me...I can see she is busy right now...
L: Allow me explain the circumstances in her place.
L: The truth is...
L: We'd like Youko-san to come and testify in court once more.
?: Again...?
?: I thought we had a promise of one time only?
L: Back then, she was only danced around by the prosecuting side! I'm positive that her testimony didn't go the way Youko-san would have wanted it to!
L: But with her testimony now, I am positive that we can save my client from his predicament!
?(2b): I already told you. Digging up old skeletons from the past is only a bother to her.
L: I want to hear a statement from her mouth!

136)
L: Youko-san, please!
L: At this rate, Rudou-kun will surely be given the death penalty!
sfx: gatan
?: You really don't know when to quit, sensei...
sfx: jiiii
?: Fufufu...

137)
Y: Uuu...
L: Unfortunately for you, though...
L: I don't think she's in the condition to be giving any 'statements' right now...
M: Heheheh...
M: Hee hee hee...

sfx: gachan!

Note: I'm going to free you. Eat every last bite. -Alma
sfx: gachan!
R: Mumu...

140)
D(2b): He's been asleep for over 24 hours...but we haven't found any abnormalities about his body.
D(2b): Apparently something similar happened before. Yes...but that was late at night.
D(2b): It'll be a problem if we're blamed for this...good thing there's still some more time until the next hearing.
D(2b): For now, we'll just keep things on the downlow and watch him. Understood.

141)
A(2b): Mahl-koot...Ve-g'boo-rah...
A: Ve-g'doo-lah...
A: Le-OH-LAHM...

R: Alma...?!
R: Huh?!
R: Wah! What happened to me?!
A(2b): You've been freed from your body of flesh and entered into the astral plane...you are now in the form of what mortals refer to as the "soul."

144)
R(2b): The soul...so this is what parapsychologists refer to as an out-of-body experience...
R: I understand the theory...
R: But I still can't believe it...
R: No! I can accept this.
R: I'll believe whatever you say, Alma...
R(2b): This is the first time I've experienced such a thing. It's amazing!
R: I'm so glad to have such a great friend.
A: Ufufu...
A: Now I'm going to guide you to her.
R: To Youko?!
R: You know where she is?!
R: But why in this form?!
R: What will happen to my body?!
R: Why do you want me to meet Youko?!

145)
A: Your mandala has been tranquilized, so you will continue sleeping for three days.
A: As long as your body does not die, you can always go back to it.
A: Additionally, your job is not to meet with her, but to make contact with her soul...
R: What?!
A: She is currently the victim of a local crime syndicate whose territory is an American military base town...
R: ...I thought so...
A(2b): Saving her from small-time thugs like that is a simple task...just leave that to me...
A: Saving her soul from the deeply-rooted suffering and despair that confines it, however...
A: That is something only you can do...
