INTERMISSION

Pg 1

The season / becomes vividly colorful / as if denying / the times of emptiness

Pg 2

The flowers bloom / knowing that they will bloom only to die

Amamiya-kun Amamiya-kun!

Box: Tokyo
Yes?

Pg 3

What the hell is this! A monkey could write this.
What? We're your breasts preoccupied on a date or something?
Sexual Harassment!

Yeah...

I wonder what's with Amamiya...It's been 8 months since the Hokkaido report and she's been weird ever since...
She used to kick the crap out of the trash bin after facing the boss's sexual harassment...but now...is it menopause?

*sigh*
*click*

Pg 4

*click*

This is regarding the inquiry to interview Tachibana Haruka-san's father / I think it is best not to mention the incident anymore

Pg 5

It's not anyone's fault...that Haru ended up in the volcano eruption... / It was my fault for not watching out for her...

But...I sometimes feel like she'll come home again // I'm just worried that she's not cold in this snow...

I hope spring comes soon...

Pg 6

This is what he said when I visited him last winter and he is still deeply saddened by the accident / The location is still barricaded and unaccessible / We're having trouble continuing our research here...

I wasn't inquiring to report on it...I just wanted to know how he's doing... // I guess it's the same thing...

It would be insensitive of me to go myself...

Pg 7

I wonder how these kids are...maybe I'll go...

Forget it / I've hurt many people by investigating this

Plus, the case is already closed

Pg 8

8 months ago / Ever since the mass suicide incident, the investigation that was triggered by it ended // with a second mass suicide occurance

On the same day / The cause of the eruption in Hokkaidou was explained to have happened as a result of natural causes // With one reported missing person...
Newspaper: Eruption in Hokkaido One person missing
But there is so much more than that

Pg 9

I heard about the existence of the "comrades" // from a boy named Ron

About the day he possessed a strange "power" // About "Akuro's heart" and their journey to find it at the lake

How Katsumata manipulated everyone to fight each other // to kill each other...

Pg 10

They had heard it from Katsumata / A theory about how the "comrades" came to be

Some life-form like spirits from outer space came to earth to breed on humans and led them to commit suicide / This was the first mass suicide occurrence

The ones that survived despite the infection became "comrades" / Then they started to kill people using these powers in cruel ways...

Then, in that incident from 8 months ago the comrades suddenly ook heir lives as well / This was the second mass suicide

I wonder how many comrades are still alive

Pg 11

Why did the comrades emerge on this planet? // To murder...?

Kanou Taisuke always had a connection to all the incidents // I had thought he was the culprit the entire time

But...

Pg 12

He didn't look like a murderer

He was just a teenage boy

Pg 13

Why am I still holding on to this / It's a file that shouldn't exist!

Pg 14

Why are you having second thoughts... // No one will believe me anyway / and there's nothing I can do now either

Sometimes it's better to start fresh!

Pretend it didn't happen...

Pg 15

Pg 16

WHAAAAAAAAAT!! We're going to Hokkaidou again!?
Oda-chan, can you go with Amamiya-kun?

Apparently, American researchers are hanging around the incident location
They're going in there without permission and are doing some sort of investigation on their own...

Boss: A conspiracy theory!? / Alien invasion!? / Go do a report on something along those lines, you're familiar with the area aren't you?
Oda: Wha what you're kidding!!
Boss: Why would I be?

Pg 17

That case is already closed to begin with! // We've got nothing to do with it!

Let's not pry any more / please forget about it!!

Pg 18

A...Amamiya-san what are you doing!?

Amamiya: You're not supposed to throw it away... // Many people died and many people are crying...!
Coworker: Hello~~?

We're the only ones that can find the truth!

Oda-chan!

Pg 19

We're going to Hokkaidou!

Boss: Oh? you cut your hair...heartbreak?
A: WRONG!! Let's go Oda-chan
O: WHaat!?
Coworker: Oh? You're back to normal?

Pg 20

It's our responsibility // to make sense of it all for others to know about it

Pg 21

I have no interest in keeping it

My philosophy // is to create then destroy
bubble: so pretty...

Pg 22

Open up open up!
Oh she's home

Welcome home

Here's a treat Yura
OH!

You didn't make a mess again did you?

Pg 23

What is this!! There's more trash here! / Clean it up will you!?

What are you saying // I am the world's cleanest guy

Pg 24

...get out already
Hehehe

Good morning! Reporting from Hokkaidou

Spring is slowly approaching as the Sakura and Lilacs are beginning to bloon...

I have the day off tomorrow...what shall I do

Pg 25

Your arm...it hurts?
Hmmm?

Not at all~~

Pg 26

I'm glad it was the left arm // I think that now

Pg 27

bubble: It even surprised me // that I was so attached to something
That moment...

The second I thought I could no longer draw // I got terrified

That sudden desperation for death overcame me and my obsession to live spurred at that same moment // Then from that trance

Pg 26

I awoke

*pant pant*

All I can remember is running for my life...

Pg 27

I'm so lame...

I didn't think I'd get scared at a crucial time
text: I'm so horrible

What are you looking at...?

Pg 28

Bubble: You're fun to watch when you draw
*That ribbon I gave you is cute too*
I wonder how longer its been since this girl brought me here

Yura: You look creepy without eyebrows...
*YOU TOO*
Being a lover is easy

"Akuro's heart..."

Pg 29

It was so beautiful

I wonder if I could draw something better...if I got my hands on it...

Pg 30

Huh?

It's done

Pg 31

It's a picture of them

I'm still alive // but I bet the rest of them are...

There's one thing I came to know after becoming a power-holder

We all had something missing
Bubble: You have an interesting hole in your heart...

Pg 32

It's got a unique shape...

Katsumata: You're a comrade...!
Yura: What? You are?
K: If you don't know what to do with that power / you should come with me

...is that fun?

Yes // More fun than simply destroying art...

Pg 33

If you're free come on // I have treats too

Pg 34

He lured us in by introducing an event called "Case1" or something that sounds interesting // But he just wanted to use us for getting his hands on "Akura's heart"

Shit... // That old man just used us...

But what I regret more...

Is that Katsumata saw right through me and found what I was missing

What I fear // and that's...

Pg 35

Judgement

That's why I destroy // before it can be viewed by anyone

Pg 36

...Anyway I have to clean up this shit... // right...

I'll clean before I leave...

Pg 37

He... // he's gone...

I wonder if it's because I told him to get out...

Pg 38

Aaaah / stinky // loud, dirty

If I could blow up all these garbage people it would feel so good...

Look he's barefoot...
What is that, gross....

*Ah he looked this way!*
*Scraryy*
...I guess I'm the same garbage too

Pg 39

I knew it wasn't just my imagination... / it was the "heart" beating

"Akuro's heart" is alive...?

I wonder if I can find it... // that beautiful thing...

Pg 40

Guess I'll search for it... // got enough time!

This season

Grows colorful // as if it fears becoming colorless again

Pg 41

Ao, let's go home

Pg 42

The flowers bloom... // knowing they'll die

Pg 43

It's been 2 years...

Nothing has happened / Nothing has changed // The world is stable as always

Everyday is peaceful...
