01
bold slanty vert: Kabuto is overcome by the hopelessness of "reality"!!
CALL.35 - "Seeds of Destruction"
Iwashiro Toshiaki

SUMMARY (left)
Ageha and co. happen across a flyer about the WISE in Kabuto's uncle's basement. But they also find his corpse too...!!

-...there's no way that's uncle...!!
-I'm dreaming, right? Quit this lame excuse of a joke already!!

-I REFUSE TO ACCEPT
-THAT ALL THIS IS REAL!!!

02
-Even his non-prosthetic leg is fractured
-...how awful

-You sure it's a good idea to leave Kirisaki be?
-It's not like he'd listen to us anyway

-Kirisaki has been trying to force himself to believe this wasn't real
-But having had something that traumatizing suddenly shoved in front of him has left him dazed and confused

-...look!
-It's what's left of this person's notebook...most of it has been destroyed, though

03
-Hm...

bubble: WHY'S HE KEEP SPOILING HIM!?

-This is pointless!
-Wait, take a look at this!
above amamiya is "hmmm"

04
box: 11/7 - got my hands on one of these WISE cult's fliers from a friend. "World Rebirth Project"? These guys are pretty bold
middle of logo: World Rebirth Project
below that - The Day of Rebirth is at hand!!
box: 11/14 - Even more of these fliers are showing up all over. Still no clues on who they are

-The WISE...!!

-11/25 - Strange news events all over. First two giant steel towers melt in the kantou outskirts, causing a huge blackout...
-Then there was a report of two railroad cars disappearing after a loud noise, only to appear 3 km away in some rice paddy fields! Who...or, how are these things happening?!

(headline on the left page is cut off: "kantou blacks out", barely visible vertical is "mystery")

05
-What the heck...?
-Sounds like the work of some PSI users!!

-But this happened back in our time! That'd mean that whoever did it is ridiculously powerful!!

-It's almost like...someone was doing it to test their powers...

-There's more...

-"Declaration of War" 12/2 - tomorrow at 14:00, the WISE will rally!! ...it seems the bastards are finally coming out into the open!!
-What's going to happen? I have to get this on film, no matter what!!

(page essentially says the same thing, with more detail. i'm a glutton for punishment so here goes: )
"Declaration of War"
12/2
Tomorrow at 14:00, the WISE will have a rally!!
The place is XX city in XX prefecture... (t/n - great, the author intentionally hid the location)
(tomorrow @ 14:00) <-circled

(next paragraph: )
Whoever they are, they're all brainwashed on stupid ideas about the end of the world. It's obvious they're insane, but...now that I think about it, those strange news events all started after their fliers showed up...

next paragraph:
And yet, there's still no news coverage anywhere of this anonymous "Wise" cult day...why am I so concerned about it?
(there is another line under this, but i can't read this handwriting. it says something like "in the many years i've worked as a journalist, ___", the last part being illegible to me...)

06
-The WISE held a rally? Judging by the date, Kirisaki's uncle must have went to film it!

-Where are you going, Hiryuu?
-Just to have a look around...

-Tell it to me straight, little bunny

-Kirisaki...

-Who the hell are these WISE?

07
-Putting it all together...

-Matsuri-sensei told us they were the mysterious organization she encountered that control this ruined world
-They erected Siren towers in every region, and there created those grotesque soldiers called Tavoo out of humans...

-So this group with powerful PSI and Tavoo at their command essentially took over all of Japan...!!

-And, tracing back to November 2009...
-Which is only a year away for us...a cult under the same name appeared and spread flyers warning of the coming destruction of the world!

08
-No way...
-Then you mean the guys who're behind everything are living in the same time as we are!?

-Most likely...

-10/29/2009...
-"Tears of Promise"...??

-Hey everyone!
-C'mere a sec

09
-A TV!
-And it still works!?

-The only things that survived seem to be this CRT display and a cheap playback device (t/n - on second thought, it's not a vcr, since they have a cd (lol). but, i still don't know what to call it. literally this is what ageha says. got a better idea?)
-Because the power still worked in here, I thought to give it a try...

-This is just a guess, but perhaps the reason all these electronics broke isn't just because of the accelerated corrosion in this time...
-Maybe at the time the world went under a powerful electromagnetic pulse was set off that scrambled them all (t/n - i really wanted to insert EMP in here. it's the same thing the military uses to destroy electronics in underground bases)

-If that's so, then...maybe in this region, this location, at this building...or by some combination of luck, that pulse's effects were at its weakest?

10
-Exactly.
-So why don't we try to give this little puppy I just found a shot?

-12/2?...that's...!
-The film from the day of the WISE rally!!

-...what's this?!

11
-Even now, weak earthquakes are still happening...how long has this living hell been going on for?
-That last big quake knocked everything around in here. My legs won't even move anymore

note is cut off sentences, these are my best guesses...in order:
-everything was scattered into the sky
-as i watched the world end
-i should be glad to have made it this far

-Mom / forgive me for not coming to help you / Kabuto, if you're still alive out there

-Don't give up
-Uncle...!!!

12
-Oh!!

-Here it comes!!!
-The sound's a mess though

-This is it...!
-The image is really shaky

-There they are!!
-It's them, on top!

13
-So these are the ones...!?

-Great. All of them fully clothed
-Intentionally hiding their identities, no doubt

-This is their "declaration of war"? I have a bad feeling about this...!!

14
-...at long last...pay heed...
-...the time for judgeme...has arrived...this world!!

-...on the very...shold of....the "Day of Rebirth"!

-...there is no turning back...!!

-Today is the day...!!
-We hereby proclaim...y God's power, Ise shall cleanse this world...!!!

-CAN IT YA LUNATICS! GET LOST!!

15
-BEHOLD YOU IGNORANT MASSES!
-THIS...POWER WE H...OBTAINED!!

16 da~mn

17
-I can't believe them...!!!

-Using PSI for mass slaughter!?

-W-where's uncle!? What happened to him!?
-Wait!! The image is coming back!

-what...?!
-I-is that...!?

18-19 X-MEN MOVE OUT!! (Kyle's in Kiri's pants LOL)
-M-Marie!?

white: There, captured on video... / Are the children of Elmore Wood!?
