sfx bubble: Huff
sfx bubble: Huff
Teppei: ...People...

[p004]

Crowd: Who's that kid?
Crowd: ...Was he here with us?
Crowd: Could he have come from outside?!
Crowd: Seriously...?!

Teppei: ...Ah.
Teppei: Ah...!

(Teppei): Crap...
Teppei: U...m...
(Teppei): It's been over a month since I last talked with someone, so I've forgotten...
(Teppei): how to.

[p005]

Boy: ...Te...cchan?

Boy: Tecchan!!
Box: Kuramochi Kazuki
Woman: Teppei-chan...?!

Teppei: Kazumochi!!

Kazu: Tecchan!!
Teppei: Kazumochi!!
Kazu: You're alive!!

Teppei: You're alive...!!
Kazu: Uwaah, thank god...!!

[p006]

Woman: --That's right,
Woman: you two have been inseparable since you started elementary school.

Teppei: Yeah!
Teppei: We've been in all the same classes!
Kazu: And he stayed at our place for about a month, too!

Woman: It's truly a miracle... you surviving on your own for over 40 days,
Woman: and then getting past those monsters and coming all this way, on top of it...

Woman: Just how did you get through?
Teppei: Huh?
Teppei: Well...

(Teppei): Ah...!
(Teppei): I hadn't thought about it at all until now, but
(Teppei): should I tell people that I can transform into a monster...?

(Teppei): Being able to turn into a monster like that, with the world the way it is now...
(Teppei): How would everyone react to that...?
Kazu: ...? Tecchan?

[p007]

Woman: ...Ah!
Woman: I'm sorry! You don't have to talk about it if it's something you'd rather not remember.

Kazu: Who cares either way! You're alright, after all!
(Teppei): I'll tell them someday.

(Teppei): I'm different from the other monsters, but everyone would definitely be afraid anyway.
(Teppei): I mean, I look kinda scary like that.
(Teppei): I'm sure a good time to talk about it will come along sooner or later.

Woman: That's true! It's enough to know you're alright.
Woman: I haven't felt this happy in quite a while!
Teppei: ...Um! Auntie!

Teppei: Do you know what happened to everyone else?
Teppei: Like where my dad,
Teppei: Tsubasa-chan, and all the other people are?

Woman: ...Sorry, I don't.
Woman: At the very least, they weren't part of the evacuation group we were with...

Woman: But I'm sure they're just fine!
Woman: Your father and Himegami-san's father are both policemen and incredible people!

Kazu: Come to think of it, wasn't Himegami-neechan with you?
Kazu: What happened to you guys after school that day?

Teppei: I don't know...
Teppei: I was heading home with Tsubasa-chan, but my memory after that is a complete blank.
Teppei: When I woke up, I was alone...

Teppei: ...Huh?
Teppei: By the way...

Teppei: What about your dad, Kazumochi?
Teppei: He's here, right?

[p009]

Woman: ...Well, you see,

Woman: we got separated from his father...
Woman: while coming here.

Woman: But it's nothing to worry about.
Woman: I'm sure we'll meet up again!

Man: Hey!

Man: Sorry to interrupt your chat, but
Man: could you bring that kid over here?

Man: Er, I'm not saying you're a bother, if that's what it sounded like.

Man: What I mean is...
Man: if you could tell us whether it's better out there than in here yet.

[p010]

Man: I guess you wouldn't think so, since you came here from out there, though.

Man: Do you know why such a large group of people are staying here,
Man: and why the monsters outside stay away?

Man: The answer is because there's someone even more dangerous in here.
Man: We're stuck as his slaves.

Man: If it would be feasible for us to escape and survive outside, then we should do it
Man: before he and his group find out.
Man: Yesterday, someone named Oono-san and his family left too, so...

(sfx): Kerchak
sfx bubble: Creaaak

Man: They're here!!

Woman: Teppei-chan, listen carefully!
Woman: You absolutely mustn't defy that group coming in!
Woman: Especially their leader!

[p011]

Woman: Don't give him any reason to start a fight, no matter how trivial!
Woman: And don't make eye contact with him!
Woman: It's that tall man in the ballcap and hoodie...!

Man: Shut yer traps, all've ya!!
Man: Numazawa-san's got somethin' to say!!
Man: Quiet down! Quiet down!!

Kazu: The police called them "goblins."
Kazu: He's the same as those things wandering around outside,
Kazu: just with a human form.

Kazu: He's the lowest of the low...!!
Kazu: Guys like that should just disappear from the face of this planet...!!

Man: Even before becoming a monster, that Numazawa bastard,
Man: who headed up a local group of thugs, was the kind of guy who didn't know when to quit!

Man: Once, a dispute with another group escalated
Man: and one of his own asked for help from a vicious yakuza syndicate.

[p014]

Man: They came, and the members of his group were beaten half to death.
Man: Countless went missing, too.
Man: As for the guy himself, he was tortured and forced to drink sulfuric acid...!

Man: Everyone thought he'd sustained serious injuries and disappeared, and yet
Man: when the world went crazy, he resurfaced as that monster...!
Man: The acid he spits out melts anything it touches!!

Teppei: Acid...

Man: Dammit, why does such a dangerous bastard with his unsteady mentality
Man: have such a dangerous power, on top of it...!
