Chapter Two - Dryness

38)
1: Water...water...?
2: Water
3: isn't something that can be taken for granted?
4: I've never had nothing to drink before.
5: I was able to pick and choose what I liked.
6: I'm suffering.

39)
1: And if I'm suffering...
2: then all I need to do is end it, right?
3: shit
4: It's the first time...I've seen someone die...and seen a corpse!
5: Can I really do that?
6: Wait a minute!

40)
1: Where are you going? That way is--
2: Where are we going...?
3: Back.
4: That's the only spot where there are high places.
5: W-woah?! H-hold on a minute...
6: What?! Do we need your permission?!
7: We're free, right?!

41)
1: ! Hey?! You guys...
2: We're going into the mountains.
3: This place is hot, and there might be a stream within...
4: O...oh?
5: Oh...instead of staying here,
6: M-me too...
7: That isn't a good idea.

42)
1: Before you find a source of water, you'll lose all your stamina and be unable to come back out...not to mention--
2: it's difficult for amateurs to discover streams.
3: Ah!
4: Ah...
5: Are you saying you AREN'T an amateur?
6: Well...actually, I am.

43)
1: Ka...i...Kai...kun?
2: You're Kai-kun, aren't you?
3: Se...i?
4: So it is you, Kai-kun...!
5: Wh-what...
6: Sei...so you, too--
7: Why are you...
8: S...sorry...
9: It's alright.
10: I'm...also surprised.

44)
1: Sorry to ruin your reunion, but...
2: Do you mind?
3: If you don't want to go into the mountains, then do you have a better idea?
4: I know it's a gamble, but it's better than sitting out to dry here...
5: Yeah, I do...it isn't that great an idea, but...
6(2b): For an island of this size, there's got to be a river or two, so we should locate a good spot on the coastline to take a look--and then find an inlet and walk to it.
7: Then, if we climb to a place that's accumulated water--

45)
1: I see...
2: That's it!
3: That's easier than finding a stream...
4: Kai-kun...
5: --he hasn't changed--
6: I met him in therapy after my first attempt.
7: Despite being the same age, he was far more of an adult than myself.
8: Rational, prudent...he even helped lead discussions with others who came in to therapy.
9: At the time, I could do nothing but question why a guy like him would attempt to commit suicide...
10: And that question--

46)
1: I...
2: still hasn't been answered.
3: Hm?
4(2b): thought you were already OK now, Kai-kun...the doc said so as well...
5(2b): S-sorry!! Saying something rude like this...
6: Nah,
7: it's alright.
8: I screwed up.

47)
1(2b): At possessing hope. I...
2: failed.
3: at possessing hope...
4: That's right, we're--...
5: Leave me alone!!

48)
1: You have to stand and walk...don't make us leave you alone in a place like this!
2: Who cares?! I...don't care what happens anymore!! And besides...
3: You're acting unnatural!
4: Huh?
5: Why are you being so positive?! It doesn't make sense!
6: You don't seem at all like us...don't you think you're acting weird yourself!!?
7: Weird...? ...Wha...
8: What do you...

49)
1: It's true...you are acting unnatural.
2: You're suicidal just like us, and yet you try to stop people from dying...and attempt to lead everyone...y-you
3: know something about this, don't you?! This island--
4: ...you're wrong...I...
5: I was marked down as a habitual...I failed at committing suicide...

50)
1: But I can't die HERE!
2(2b): It wouldn't be right!!! Don't you agree?!
3: This isn't funny...! Your own place of death...the place your life ends...
4: how can you bear to have it decided by someone else?!?!
5: Me...too.

51)
1: I don't...want to die here...no.
2: I can't!
3: I have to present my corpse and last testament...
4: and make all those who pushed me into this corner feel regret and fear!
5: My death...won't mean anything either,
6: in a...in a place like this...
7: M...me too.
8: Me too...!
9: Y...yeah, you're right.
10: Everyone here...has their own personal circumstances...
11: Even I have my own reason as to why I couldn't die back there...!

52)
1: I was just too scared!! It was the first time...I saw someone die, and I thought...about what would it'd be like if I was in their position!!
2: Despite having given up numerous times...and decided again and again...to end it all...
3: She's the same...as me--...
4: No.
5: People who were unable to die.
6: The majority, are all probably...

53)
1: After that,
2: everyone was silenced.
3: We just walked.
4: Bearing the dryness.
5: Embracing the hypocrisy we now understood,
6: everyone walked.
7: We are clearly trying to live---...
8: We're trying to live.

54)
1-7: hah
8: This is bad...
9: Including myself, everyone's close to reaching their limits...we haven't drank anything since we were put to sleep.
10: At this rate, dehydration will eventually immobilize us...
11: Ahh...!

55)
1: Ah...

56)
1: An inlet...
2: We can get water...
3: We finally achieved our desire.
4: Desire--...
5: For me...for us, this is too unbecoming. And as if to search out the true meaning of those words,
6: I repeated them over and over again in my head.
