WAA—H
Quick, camera-phone!

=Do they all wanna die or something!?


<7>
AHH—

=More gunshots...
=They must've gotten Mr. Katada...

=Damn... I totally lost my chance.//This whole plan was a mistake... Looks like some bystanders got shot too.
=This enforcement is a failure.
=I can't do this alone.
=Wait—

=Would it be best to abort the mission and help out the injured...? But...
=Am I just supposed to give up? What about my duty as an enforcer...?

=Hey!

=You'll be fine if you get some first aid.

=AH.
=AH.


<12>
=I've got some styptic on me!
=You're gonna be okay, I promise...!

=Heh.
=You go ahead and suffer too.

=Left side's clear, Bobby!

=Right side is too!
=Let's hurry!

=Looks we've gotten all the enforcers,
=But something's bugging me... What could it be?

=Anyways, there's no point in staying here.

=Get up!
=C'mon!
=Alright. I'm up, I'm up.


<13>
=Hey look.
=He's not there.

=Who?
=That guy with the glasses.
=Glasses? You mean...

=He was just sitting by that window...!
=But he's not there anymore!


<14>
=Calm down, Tanaka-kun.//It's 'cause your convulsion's gone away.
=You're not seeing things anymore.

=That's why,
=He's not there anymore.


<15>
=I mean... I don't blame you, it was pretty intense back there.

=But it looks like things've cleared up, and...
=Huh? What's with the interesting pose, Tanaka-kun?

=Uh... I'm pretty sure I'm just seeing things again, but—
=He's still over there...
=Can you take a look, Bobby?

=There.
=Huh?


<16>
=Ah... Nothing, right? Just me again—Hah-hah-hah...
=I knew those pills were...

=Sudo, Kai! Up ahead!
=Huh?//You can see him?
=The man with the glasses! He's got a gun!

=Shoot him down!
