D4: ....Yes....

PAGE 25

D4: ...me as well.

D4: I feel like I've died...

D4: Till now, I thought there was nothing I couldn't do.

D4: Whether it was a bullet or a person, it was simple to avoid....

D4: But when I fought that power user...

PAGE 26

Nami: What are you fighting for?

D4: It was something I couldn't understand...

D4: I'm sorry.....!

>Is our team done for.....?!

PAGE 27

Mcpherson: ....huh, you too...?

D4: ......Huh?

Mcpherson: ...that's right...I have something to tell you about.

Mcpherson: About my nose which was destroyed.

Mcpherson: That was done by my father who beat me from the time I was just a brat.

PAGE 28

D4: Wh...why did he beat you?

Mcpherson: Who knows...

Mcpherson: He would beat me and beat me without care for how bloodied and broken I was.
>Again and again and again...

Mcpherson: And then he would laugh...

Mcpherson: And laugh.

PAGE 29

Mcpherson: He would only praise me when I laughed with him.

D4: But.....what about going to the police....or a hospital...

Mcpherson: Well.....I didn't think of those things at the time.
>....my father would always take care of the wounds.

D4: Wasn't that simply to hide the fact that he was abusing you!?

Mcpherson: I know that now....

D4: It would have been better to run away from there...!

PAGE 30

Mcpherson: I didn't know that it would be better to run.

Mcpherson: Since,

Mcpherson: The outside was so huge, and I was so small...

PAGE 31

Mcpherson: ......No......the truth is, I knew....

Mcpherson: But....

Mcpherson: In front of him....

PAGE 32

Daniel: Mitama....

Tama: "Heart fragment"..

Tama: I wonder how you taste.

PAGE 33

Daniel: Ah......

Mcpherson: I could do nothing but smile.

PAGE 34

Mcpherson: That was my education.

Mcpherson: That face. Since I was a child I've always been teased about it.
>And, I thought, "I'll keep this wound forever."

D4: Wh..why is that?

Mcpherson: I thought that if I fixed the wound, it would mean I lost to him.

Mcpherson: I was encouraged to enlist by my father. And I entered the world---

PAGE 35

Mcpherson: And it's kind of pleasant, the world that is.

D4: And....where is your father now...

Mcpherson: Who knows? I don't even know how long it's been since I last met him.
>---He might even be dead now, so who knows?

Mcpherson: But...

Mcpherson: Who knew this wound could be fixed so easily....

PAGE 36

Mcpherson: What have I been fighting for, hmmm....

D4: ....then....this is really the end....

Mcpherson: ....who said anything about us retiring? / Now you're acting like Horner, jumping ahead.

Mcpherson: If you can still use a weapon, you can still fight!

PAGE 37

Yun: ....Good.

>lil txt(yun): You can also attempt a head strike.....

>lil txt(taisuke): Got it!

Yuuta: Unbelievable~~~~ In this hot and shitty weather no less~

PAGE 41

Yuuta: Does he think he can beat the heart by doing that?

Nami: He needs to keep active, since he can't remain calm about the situation.

Taisuke: Awwww, it was like this...?

Nami: To hold his own against that,

Nami: He's going to need to have a whole other level of power....

Yuuta: ...By that.
>Do you mean you want the heart's power, Nami-neechan?

Nami: No way!

PAGE 42

Nami: If that happened, I would become just like Hirose!

Nami: It's just...

Nami: There aren't that many humans who wouldn't succumb to and be controlled by that sort of power.

Taisuke: I'm uneasy.
