Title: File 79 The True Nature of "K"

30

SFX: Pah!

Mako: One main rule when going up against "Falcon"...

Mako: Is that no encryption key will work on him.
Mako: So you have to lock it with a "mental key".

31

Mako: If I keep my computer's desktop completely open with no password...even if he started suspecting me...

Mako: There wouldn't be anything he would...
Mako: want to check.

Mako: If they get a virus specialist on their side now...
Mako: and still had it, they might have realized the "true meaning" that that video points to, but "Third-i" no longer has it.

Mako: I'd like to think all of the risks have been dealt with...
Mako: But the one thing that still worries me is...

Flashback Houshou: An instant!
Flashback Houshou: It will all be over in an instant!!

32

Flashback Haruka: ...An instant...
Mako: Takagi Haruka repeated "those words" that Houshou said...
Mako: I think she remembered the out of place feeling they gave her without realizing their meaning.
Mako: If she were to tell "Falcon" and the others about it, it could cause some problems.

Mako: So before that happens...

Mako: I can use this drug to kill her...
Mako: and it should be determined that she died of renal failure due to her chronic disease...

33

Text left of Fujimaru: A pocket watch?
Otoya: ...Look at the back.

Fujimaru: Kujou...
Fujimaru: Kaname?

Otoya: Kaname...
Otoya: is my mother's name.

34

Otoya: And...
Otoya: This watch belonged to his...
Otoya: It...
Otoya: apparently belonged to "J"'s mother.

Fujimaru: Eh...!?

Otoya: Right now...
Otoya: The only other person who knows is Kanou-san who was there at the time.
Otoya: But...
Otoya: if we believe what he said...

Otoya: "J" and I...
Otoya: are brothers.

35

Fujimaru: What...
Fujimaru: are you saying...Otoya...?
Fujimaru: That "J" guy...and you?
Fujimaru: That's...

Otoya: ...I don't know.
Otoya: I haven't asked my father or grandfather.
Otoya: But when I think that maybe the person...
Otoya: I thought was my father is...

Otoya: Fujimaru...
Otoya: I...
Otoya: killed my brother.

Otoya: I yelled that he was lying...
Otoya: pointed my gun at him...
Otoya: and just wanted...
Otoya: to make it so he didn't exist...!!

36

Fujimaru: Otoya.

Otoya: ...I'm sorry.

Otoya: My job was to keep Kanou-san in check...
Otoya: but I'm the one who went berserk..

Fujimaru: ...No.
Fujimaru: I'm the one who should apologize.
Fujimaru: I didn't think...
Fujimaru: and rashly asked you to do it.

Otoya: That's not the issue here.
Otoya: This is my responsibility.

Fujimaru: ...Otoya.
Fujimaru: There's...
Fujimaru: something that...
Fujimaru: I need to tell you, too.

37

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: once I tell you, there's no going back.
Fujimaru: You'll be wrapped up in this to the end.

Fujimaru: Do you still want to hear it...?
Otoya: You're wrong...
Otoya: Fujimaru.

Otoya: You won't be wrapping me up...
Otoya: in it.
Otoya: I've...
Otoya: been part of this from the beginning.

Fujimaru: Damn it.

38

Fujimaru: Bathroom, bathroom...

Fujimaru: Damn it...
Fujimaru: This place is so big...
Fujimaru: I always get lost...

Mako: "Falcon"...!!

39

Fujimaru: Hey, Anko.
Fujimaru: Are you headed to the bathr-?
Mako: Kyaaah!!!

Fujimaru: Waah.
Fujimaru: It's me, Anko.
Mako: Senpaaai.
Mako: Don't scare me like thaaaat.

Fujimaru: Are you headed to the bathroom, too?
Fujimaru: Otoya's house is so big...
Fujimaru: I always get los-

Fujimaru: A-Anko!?

40

Mako: ...I'm scared.
Mako: When I'm alone, I start remembering...
Mako: And...I...

Fujimaru: Anko...
Fujimaru: That's right...
Fujimaru: The virus almost killed her.

Fujimaru: She's just a normal high school girl...
Fujimaru: And I got her wrapped up in this...

Mako: Aoi-senpai...
Mako: Already fell asleep...

Mako: Can I sleep...
Mako: in your room,
Mako: "Falcon"-sama?

41

Fujimaru: ...Huh?
Fujimaru: E-ehh!?
Fujimaru: I-I don't...
Fujimaru: think that's a good i-
Mako: Senpai...

Mako: So...
Mako: I...
Mako: can't?

Fujimaru: N...

Fujimaru: I...
Fujimaru: I guess it's okay if we're this far apart...
Text left of Fujimaru: What is this an eroge?
Mako: Hee hee
Mako: You take everything so seriously, "Falcon"-sama.
Mako: Even though you flipped up Aoi-senpai's skirt...
Fujimaru: Well...that's just something you do to childhood friends, I guess...

42

Mako: You say that...
Mako: But you actually like her, don't you?
Fujimaru: No!

Fujimaru: And..the person Aoi likes...
Fujimaru: is probably...
Mako: Eh!?
Mako: Who, who?
Mako: Who is iiit?

Fujimaru: Keep this a secret, Anko.
SFX right of Anko: *nod* *nod*

Fujimaru: My dad.

Mako: Ehhhhhh!??
Mako: Really, really, really, reallyyyy!??
Fujimaru: Shhhh!!!
Fujimaru: P-probably.

Fujimaru: Well...
Fujimaru: It's actually pretty complex from my standpoint...

Mako: Hmm...
Mako: is that...because it's your father?
Mako: Or is it because you actually like Aoi-senpai...?

Fujimaru: I said that wasn't it!
Fujimaru: C'mon, Anko, what're you sa-

43

Mako: Then...
Mako: You don't have anyone you like...?

Mako: Am I...
Mako: not good enough?

Fujimaru: A...
Fujimaru: Anko!?
Fujimaru: Hey...

Mako: Sen...
Mako: pai...
Mako: "Falcon"...
Mako: Right now, I'm weighing my options.

44

Mako: Should I...
Mako: kill you now and bring about the risks that entails...
Mako: or should I let you live and deal with the risks of that choice...

Mako: Which one...
Mako: should I choose...?

Fujimaru: I...
Fujimaru: I...!

Fujimaru: I think I'm gonna go sleep in Otoya's room!
Fujimaru: You seem fine now!
Fujimaru: Okay? Night!!

Rightmost SFX: *slam*
Middle SFX: *step, step, step*
Leftmost SFX: *thud*
Fujimaru: Ow!

Mako: Heh...
Mako: Heh heh...

45

Mako: Heh heh heh heh...

Mako: Ehh?
Mako: Really?

Fujimaru: ...Ugh.
Fujimaru: It's so hard to go in there...
Mako: Kya ha ha...
Text left of Fujimaru: Was that a confession? It was a confession, wasn't it?
Fujimaru: And I didn't get much sleep.

Kujou: Takagi-kun.
Kujou: May I...speak with you?

44

Fujimaru: Eh?
Fujimaru: Why?

Kujou: If you hadn't been there, this incident would have resulted in...
Kujou: hundreds...no, thousands of deaths.
Kujou: I was thinking that...
Kujou: the natural thing to do would be to ask for you to continue helping us as a part-time member of "Third-i".

Fujimaru: Ah...
Fujimaru: But I was just...
Kujou: Doing it for the sake of your family and friends...and those who were with you?

Kujou: The people at "Third-i" and the people who serve the country are the same.
Kujou: We work for the sake of the country...
Kujou: but we believe that it is also for the sake of those we care for.

Fujimaru: Then...

Kujou: ...Hm?
Fujimaru: Nothing...

45

Kujou: To be honest, your hacking skills aren't something we don't want to lose.
Kujou: I want to rid you of the restrictions of being a civilian and have you help us...
Kujou: but you may not want to be a part of this anymore.
Kujou: Right?

Fujimaru: ...No...
Fujimaru: Well...

Kujou: Then it's decided.

Kujou: Starting now...
Kujou: you are a member of "Third-i".

Kujou: Well, I have to go.
Kujou: I'm running late for a meeting.
Fujimaru: Y...
Fujimaru: You're being too forceful!

Kujou: If I wasn't a little bit forceful...
Kujou: I would be unfit for my job.

46

Otoya: Sealing off...
Otoya: your escape routes and then guiding you like that is his way of doing things.

Otoya: ...Are you going to refuse?

Fujimaru: ...And then what?
Fujimaru: It'll end up the same in the end.
Fujimaru: You know that, Otoya.

Fujimaru: We won't run.
SFX: Vvvv
SFX: Vvvv
SFX: Vvvv
Fujimaru: We...
Fujimaru: can't run.

47

SFX: *beep*
Fujimaru: ...Hello?

J: Hey.
J: Have you gotten some rest during this break?

Fujimaru: I kept my promise.

Fujimaru: So tell me,
Fujimaru: "J".
