Narration: It is said that only a rare person who has reached the end of their troubles can be given ultimate happiness...
sfx: squeak
Seiichi: Well, I'm leaving, Haruhiko.
sfx: thud (2x)
Haruhiko: Aniki.

Haruhiko: This joint investigation with Hong Kong is your first trip overseas...//Be careful. The crime over there is said to be tough.
Haruhiko: If anything should happen to Aniki, I...I.
Seiichi: Haruhiko!
Seiichi: You worry so much.//While I'm away; take care.//Because Haru is my beautiful person.
sfx: kiss (2x)

Narration: My brother is a detective. He will arrive at the Wataru port as a team member in a joint investigation for the search of a mysterious organization called PARK that has interest in young guys in central Asia.
Narration: For some reason.
Narration: I had a random uneasiness...
Narration: But soon, it became something of a reality.
Narration: The last airmail I received was delivered three weeks ago.
Narration: My brother suddenly stopped sending letters.
Haruhiko: ?//I wonder what address this is?
Haruhiko: And these are strange digits...Maybe it's something like an ID number?

sfx: shock
Narration: This...
Narration: Isn't this a public execution site?
Narration: Why is my brother's photo on this type of site?
Narration: Hong Kong
Haruhiko: 67 Tai Kok Tsui Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Tsim Mong Building...

Haruhiko: Excuse me.
sfx: dash
Kuwan: Ah! Hey!
sfx: bam

Blond guy: Aa...
Blond guy: Aaaaaahhhh
Haruhiko: Th...//Thank you.
sfx: hah
Kuwan: Seiichi.//Is he going to be publicly executed on the net?


Page 10:

Haruhiko: Yeah...It was some type of voting system.//The game is that the person will be killed from the job that has the highest point.
...
Haruhiko: Even though he's your partner why didn't you protect my brother?
Haruhiko: You don't even know what happened to him!
Kuwan: Seiichi went missing on his time-off.
Kuwan: It's not my fault.//And only by the information on the net, I cannot decide whether or not it’s a real murder unless the body appears.
Haruhiko: How can you...Be so cool-headed.//I'm reporting here now because this investigation is for a difficult case.//Your a detective right?
Kuwan: You should report to the Hong Kong police.//I'm busy with the investigation of PARK.
Haruhiko: Talking like that...
sfx: enraged
Haruhiko: You ogre!//Demon!
sfx: bang

Page 11:

Kuwan: ...//An MD walkman, digital camera made in Japan.//VAIO laptop... 　
Kuwan: Haru what are you doing about tonight's lodging?
Haruhiko: Well...I haven't decided yet.
Kuwan: It's fine for you to stay here as long as you like, if you let me use these.
Haruhiko: Huh?
Kuwan: I'm not a demon.
sfx: smile
Kuwan: Ok?
Narration: I have a bad feeling...
Haruhiko: [He won't return it, until I go home.]
sfx: zzzz
Narration: Hong Kong's lifestyle is fairly different from Japan.
Narration: It’s a standard bed and the interior has a foreign blend.
Narration: The Chinese food is a little too spicy and I mostly eat out.

Page 12:

Narration: The building is generally worn out.
sfx: drip
Narration: When I think of what my brother went through at this kind of place...
sfx: blink
sfx: shock
sfx: roll
sfx: sob
...
sfx: lift
Wha...What is it?
sfx: blush
Kuwan: Don't cry.
Kuwan: I heard from Seiichi.//That you’re the only person in the family that's not related by blood.
Kuwan: So he has to protect and love you more than anybody else.
Narration: Brother...Said that.

Page 13:

Kuwan: Such feelings.
Kuwan: I think are lovely.
sfx: squeeze
Haruhiko: Ah...Umm.
Kuwan: Until Seiichi is found.//To make up for him...
Kuwan: I will put my life on the line to protect you.
Kuwan: So, don't cry.
Narration: Protect me...

Page 14:

(Note to typesetter: If you can't make out the small text, leave it)
Haruhiko: Wait.//Why are you holding my laptop.
Kuwan: I'm taking it to show my co-workers.
Kuwan: Haru is my beautiful person, so take care of yourself.
sfx: shut
small text: The same thing as my brother...

Page 16:

Narration: Ack!
Narration: He's the splitting image of me...
Narration: Is this Alec?
Narration: His lover...?
Narration: It's...
Narration: As I thought.
sfx: clink
sfx: whooo (wind blowing)
sfx: rustle
(Note to typesetter: So hard to read, I can't read it)
sfx: whish

Page 17:
Guy: Hey.//How about a small bird?
Narration: He's a good looking guy. Is he about the same age as me?
Haruhiko: I...I'm a traveler so I can't buy an animal.
Guy: Well I'm sorry.//Have a nice trip.

Page 18:

Haruhiko: Again, the PARK.
Haruhiko: What is the PARK?
Guy: You don't know about the PARK?//Although there's so much racket about it in the media?
Haruhiko: Ah...It's because I really don't watch the news.
Guy: The Park...Is a present day Shangri-la that's said to be somewhere in Hong Kong.//Created by the NCT.//It's a flower garden where various activities are developed to make people's "wildness" awaken.

Page 19:


Haruhiko: The NCT?
Guy: They get ardent support from the youth of Asian developed nations, such as Thai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.//It's an organization that call themselves the Neo New Age.
Guy: Everyone yearned for this sacred place called the PARK, and they came to Hong Kong but...//The people who finally arrived at the gate, were only a few...//Because the park chooses the person.
Haruhiko: You know allot about this.
Guy: I’m saying this...//Because you are so beautiful, I've become quite talkative.//Do you want to know more about the park?
Haruhiko: Yeah...But I feel embarrassed not being familiar with this.
Guy: I see...//But I'm pleased with you.
Guy: If it's all right, please take this.//Surely it is possible to meet you again.
Narration: A pink magnetic card...
Guy: ...I.
Guy: Want to see all of you.

Page 20:

Guy: Beautiful person...
sfx: giggle
Narration: Well.
Narration: Don't say things I don't understand.
Narration: What a strange guy...
sfx: click
Haruhiko: I'm back.
Kuwan: Is something wrong?
Haruhiko: No...//Ah!//Some things have been gnawing at me about PARK.
Haruhiko: Why is it so accepting of us returning to the wild...?
Haruhiko: Unlike the generation of our parents, we wanted a better life for ourselves.
Haruhiko: Perhaps it's because I understand that 'Material things" can't bring happiness to me.

Page 21:

Haruhiko: I also feel like going...
Haruhiko: To PARK...
Kuwan: Are you an idiot?
Haruhiko: Wha...What the hell.
Kuwan: A short circuit idiot like you, undermines society.
Kuwan: To have such a thought...
Kuwan: You can't live here!
Haruhiko: Aah!
sfx: crash
Haruhiko: Making me stay here and then kicking me out the next time around.//Because of this...//Didn't Alec also leave?

Page 22:

Kuwan: ...
Haruhiko: Ah...
Narration: That was a direct blow.
Kuwan: ...Alec.//Snuck into PARK as an undercover investigator at my request.
Kuwan: But, just like that, he started to idolize PARK.//And he didn't return home in the end.
Kuwan: I thought he abandoned me...I detested my shallow thinking.
Kuwan: But.
Kuwan: After 3 months.
Kuwan: His body...//Was blood stained and left in the Sai Kung...
Kuwan: Alec was a sacrifice for PARK's idiotic breeding game.
Kuwan: After they broadcasted all of the details of the murder on the internet.//They throwed him away like some garbage.
Kuwan: What is this wildness?//What is this Shangri-la?

Page 23:

Kuwan: The incontinence of brutality that a human being can bear the most.
Kuwan: In spite of that, it's only a mass murder group!
Haruhiko: Sorry...
Haruhiko: I didn't know...
Haruhiko: So...//Don't cry.
Haruhiko: If it's all right, I can be Alec's replacement.
Haruhiko: Now it's my turn...

Page 24:

Haruhiko: ...Mmh.
sfx: flinch
Kuwan: Haru...
Kuwan: Really.

Page 25:

Haruhiko: Ah...
sfx: suck
sfx: flinch
Haruhiko: Ah!

Page 26:

sfx: creak
Kuwan: Just as I thought.//A Japanese person's skin is so fair.
Haruhiko: ...No.
Narration: He's absolutely comparing me with Alec.
Haruhiko: ...I//I can't.//Kuwan.
Kuwan: Endure it.
sfx: sigh

Page 27:

Narration: Doing this kind of thing.
Narration: I really don't like it.
Narration: But.
Narration: I like Kuwan.
Narration: I like him a lot.

Page 28:

Narration: Went to work. Didn't make breakfast.
Narration: He's so simple.
Narration: After all, I'm only a replacement.
sfx: zaaaaa
Haruhiko: It's so windy.
sfx: whoosh
sfx: rattle (3x)
Haruhiko: Umm...Isn't it dinner time?
sfx: groowwl
Lady: What are you talking about?//Isn't it a signal 9?
Signal...?
Little note: Hitokuchi Memo.
Memo: In Hong Kong the strength of a typhoon is represented by a signal. The weakest signal is a 1 the strongest signal is a 10. If it's higher than an 8 all stores close and you aren't able to go out.
