b1) Well, the performance aside,
b2) I was glad that you were raised by a sane human.
b3) If you were raised to be sharp like a knife,
b4) I could never stop thinking of when that knife would come trying to stab me.
b5) Its looks like I was right in not raising you.
b6) Don't be proud of shirking your responsibilities.

page 13

panel) I don't have enough money to spend the night // at a hotel.
b1) That's one weird girl.
b2) Well, // since she's doing her best to avoid you,
b3) its probably because...

page 14

b1) Performing with Stresseman was so good that there's absolutely no reason for her to return to you.
b2) Or is it because she saw you cheating on her?
b3) Where the hell did that come from?
b4) It amounts to the same thing.
b5) This is stupid, I'm leaving.
b6) Hey,
b7) there's a mountain of fries here, leave after you've eaten half.
b8) Someone saying 'I can't play anymore'... // happens a lot in our world.

page 15

b1) After they've had a good performance, they get scared and start to think there's no way I have another performance this good...
b2) Although that's never happened to me. (Lying)
b3) Normally, if you leave them alone, they'll come back on their own.
bv4) Really...
b5) But there are also people that no matter how long you leave them alone, they never return.
panel1) And their contracts get canceled.
b6) Come one now!!
b7) They're satisfied with what they did and don't want to do anymore.
panel2) I think she's the type that gets satisfied easily and doesn't want more afterwards.

page 16

box1) It never crossed my mind...
box2) Is she going to have a change of heart or not?
panel) Is she so satisfied with what she did that she doesn't want to perform with me anymore?
b1) I wonder...
b2) if she's totally forgotten about me already?

page 17

panel) Why on earth am I telling this // to the person I hate from the depths of my being?
b1) If I were her...
b2) I'd force myself to forget about you and go back to Stresseman.
b3) And if the circumstances permit, I'd have another performance.

page 18

b1) She's not the same as you.
2b) Then don't ask me.
panel) When did being with her become the most important thing in my life?
b3) Uh, no... we don't have a stable...
b4) but if its just for 1 night, you can stay.
b5) We can let it slide.
b6) If you don't mind the storage room you can stay without paying.
b7) I'll take that as a yes.
