Athena: I'm going to be here...
Athena: alone forever...

03

Athena: But...
Athena: this is my fault.

Athena: It's all...
Athena: all my fault.
Athena: Mine.

Athena: This is the result of my own foolishness.
Athena: I destroyed it myself. It was all me...

Athena: It's my fault...Mine...
Athena: I was truly wrong...

Athena: Hayate...

04

SFX: Silence...

Athena: Hayate, you can...
Athena: just leave this place!!

Athena: No...
Athena: That wasn't true, Hayate...
Athena: No...

05

Athena: I didn't mean to say that...
Athena: The truth is, I wanted to leave this place with you.

Athena: But I couldn't tell you how we would have to leave together...
Athena: Because if you knew that, you'd surely...
Athena: You'd surely...

Athena: I'm sorry I made us part, Hayate...
Athena: I want to leave...
Athena: I want to leave, Hayate...

Brother: Here, Hayate.
Brother: Wipe your tears with this.

06

Hayate: Okay.
Hayate: Thank you, big brother.

Hayate: But this handkerchief...
Hayate: looks like a girl's handkerchief.
Brother: Yeah, it isn't mine.

Brother: I got it from...
Brother: a woman I saved a bit ago...

Hayate: I see...
Hayate: Big brother was saving someone again...

Hayate: Hey, big brother.
Brother: Hm?

Hayate: Will I ever be able to...
Hayate: save someone...
Hayate: like you do?

07

Text right of brother: Heh...

Brother: You will, Hayate.
Brother: One day...you will save more people than I have...

Brother: Because you're my little brother and I'm proud of you.

Brother: And if you can't do it on your own...
Brother: I'll help you out!

Brother: So don't cry.
Brother: Your nose is running. Do you have a tissue?
Hayate: Oh...
Hayate: Yeah...

Hayate: Umm...

08

SFX: Splash

Brother: Hm? You dropped something.
Hayate: Eh?

Hayate: Oh, that...

Hayate: I intended to put something important in there...
Hayate: so I wouldn't lose it.

Hayate: But I ended up losing it...so I'll give it to you.
Brother: Hmm...

Brother: Is there...
Brother: something inside it?
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Oh...yeah...

Hayate: Now that you mention it, it's something I picked up on Christmas Eve.
Hayate: And after I picked it up, Santa told me in a dream...

09

Hayate: That this...
Hayate: was my stone.

Brother: It's a beautiful stone.
Hayate: Yeah, I'd forgotten about it.
Hayate: But Santa-san said he already had 8 of them...

Hayate: so he didn't mind losing one of them.

Hayate: What is it?

Brother: I hear something.
Hayate: Eh?

Brother: Hayate...
Brother: Your tears are already dried up, aren't they?
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Yeah, they are...

Brother: Then go home ahead of me!!
Brother: I'll be back there soon!!
Hayate: Eh!?
Hayate: Wait...!! Big brother!?

Hayate: Big brotheeer!!

Athena: Help me...

Brother: I can hear it!!
Brother: It's faint, but I can hear a voice...!!

Brother: But this isn't a voice that's reaching my ears.
Brother: Is it something paranormal like a ghost?

11

Brother: Even if it is, it doesn't matter!!
Brother: Anyway, where is it?

Brother: Where is this person calling me from!?
Brother: If I can just figure that out...

Brother: So that's it!
Brother: It's coming from this forest!!!

12

Brother: What...
Brother: is this place?

Brother: It's like a forest of pillars.

Brother: Oh, this is no time for admiration.
Brother: The voice's owner is...

Brother: over there...

13

Athena: Enough...
Athena: That's enough...

Athena: I'm not going to hope for anything again...
Athena: Ever...

Athena: All hopes, wishes, and desires bring are pain...
Athena: So I should just not hope for anything ever again...

Athena: I might as well just rot away here...
Athena: and just see Hayate in my dreams..

SFX: Creeeak...

14

Brother: This palace...
Brother: sure has a lot of tricks to it.

Athena: Who are you?

Brother: I'm no one worth naming.

Athena: I see...

Athena: If you're after the Power of Royalty, it's through here.
Athena: Or if you're after treasure of silver and gold, head downstairs.
Athena: There's enough treasure sleeping down there to give you a lifetime of pleasure.

15

Athena: You don't need to worry about me.
Athena: You can take whatever you want from this palace.

Brother: I see.

SFX: Close...

16

Athena: What?

Brother: You called for me.

Right margin: Hayate's brother came running to Athena in response to the cry she couldn't say out loud. Will he give hope and freedom to Athena who is in despair...?
