Darker than Black - The Jet Black Flower
Chapter 8: Awakening

P3

Text: Why did it turn out like this ......

Azusa: ...

Azusa: Where ... am I...?

Harvest: This is in the deepest depths of your heart ...

Harvest: Where the black flower has extended its roots.

Azusa: Why are you inside my heart? ...

Harvest: All flowers are linked.

Harvest: And all individuals are stored and shared by the flowers.

Harvest: This form as well,

Harvest: is how the flowers remember me...

Azusa: Oh.

P4

Harvest: This is paradise

Harvest: Protected by the black flower,

Harvest: This is a utopia for you alone.

P5

Kyouko: Azusa

Azusa: Kyou-chan

Kyouko: We can always meet here

Azusa: Kyou-chan

Kyouko: Without anything painful between us

P6

Azusa: Really?

Kyouko: Yes

Kyouko: Best friends, forever

Kyouko: Forever.

Text: AWAKEN

P8

Parcel: Whew.
I'm glad I found him,

Parcel: but this is looking like trouble.

P9

Parcel: That's BK201...

Parcel: He doesn't look as strong as I've heard.

Parcel: Can you see this?

Meena: ...!
Sir, this is...

Sergei: ...hmm.

Sergei: So it is as I feared.

P10

Meena: What do you mean, Dr. Sergei?

Sergei: BK201 and Harvest...

Sergei: Their abilities are essentially quite similar

Sergei: BK201's power over electricity....
It's true nature lies in the ability to control electrons

Sergei: His ultimate ability of mutating matter is also due to manipulation of electrons

Sergei: Matter--Molecules undergo a transformation through the mobilization of electrons

Sergei: Though in theory, that would require power far incomparable to the creation of an electric current.

Sergei: And Harvest...

Sergei: His ability is to disassemble matter...

P11

Meena: Disassembling matter...

Meena: Ah!

Sergei: Exactly.

Sergei: Combinations of matter, that is, what ties molecules to one another--that too is done by electrons.

Sergei: That man cuts the connections of electrons
And thus disassembles matter.

Sergei: In other words, they are both capable of interfering with electrons!

Sergei: I fear if they attack each other head on, the electrons may react like this in unknown ways.
We have to stop them quickly!

Parcel: What d'ya want me to do?

Sergei: Separate BK201 and Harvest!
We can't let them fight for any longer!

Parcel: ... Got it.

P12

Sergei: Alright, Meena-kun
Link up all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity and gather information.

Meena: Yes!

Parcel: Wait

Parcel: Something's strange.

Sergei: !?

Sergei: What happened, Parcel?

Parcel: ... There's something there!

Hei: ...he's,

Hei: Where's Harvest?

Hei: Is this his doing too?

Hei: Or is it...

P13

Hei: !!?

Hei: !!

Azusa's skirt: *slip*

P14

P15

Azusa: Mister Mask.

Hei: !?

Hei: ...... That flower...

Hei: ...it's much bigger than the one I saw before.

Azusa: Kyou-chan is dead.
Hey, I wonder whose fault it is?

Azusa: Whose fault is it?

Hei: Hey!
Get a gri--

Azusa: I was wearing the uniform under my school uniform all along.

Azusa: I only changed below the knee.

Azusa: Are you disappointed it's not my underwear?

Hei: ...

Azusa: ... I'm Azusa Tsukimori

P16

Azusa: I thought all my emotions would be gone if I became a Contractor...
But, what is this...

Azusa: ... There's still something left...

Azusa: ...

Hei: !

Hei: !!

Hei: It hit!?
...no ......that was--

Hei: A sonic boom!

Azusa: I remembered

Hei: !

Azusa: This is...

P17

Azusa: Killing intent

Hei: Khh...

Parcel: Whoa
That's a one-shot kill

Parcel: See that?

Sergei: ...

Meena: Impossible...
They've awakened to such a level...!

Sergei: ...hmm.

Meena: Sir!

Azusa: ... That's right
This is killing intent...

Azusa: But this isn't right

Hei: ?

Azusa: He's not the one I want to kill

Azusa: I need to go

Hei: !

P18

Hei: ...!

Hei: She's going to kill someone!

Hei: Stop!

Hei: You won't be able to go back if you kill!

Hei: You haven't become a...

Hei: Tch

Parcel: Oh dear

Parcel: There she goes...

Voice/Sergei?: Parcel, change of plans

Parcel: !

Voice: Follow that girl who fled.

Parcel: What about BK201 and Harvest?

Sergei: Take a good look
Harvest isn't there anymore.

P19

Parcel: Ah

Sergei: Put maximum priority on capturing the awakened one

Sergei: I don't want to lose our headway to them.

Parcel: Roger.

Sergei: We need to act now, before this causes any more commotion
We will block the Division and catch Harvest.

Meena: ...
Can we do this all on our own...?

Sergei: Don't worry

Sergei: That's why our number of allies has increased

Remote: *bip*

Sergei: It's your turn

Ootsuka: Wah!

Sergei: Ladies.

P20

Kirihara: Before that

Kirihara: I'd like to hear a much more thorough explanation.

Kirihara: Doctors Sergei Viktorf and Meena Kandaswami!

Sergei: I had planned to explain some of it, but if you want to hear everything

Sergei: I must have you promise to trust and co-operate with us

Sergei: First, with your actions.

Kirihara: ...

Kirihara: Ootsuka!
Contact Section 4 immediately!
Have them deploy police to block the perimeter around Mizugaoka.

Ootsuka: Ri... right away!

P21

Kirihara: I'm definitely having you tell me everything.

Sergei: Fine.

Parcel: ...hup!

Parcel: Then I'll be...

Parcel: GAH!

Hei: Why were you watching?

Parcel: ...

Hei: Spill it all

Hei: Or I'll kill you.
