Newspaper(zoomed in to the left):
Suicide?
...manner of death...
...only young women, 5 people were stabbed to death...

Yukina: Masaki! / Whatcha reading in the newspaper?
Masaki: Uwaa!
[SFX: Gatantsu]

Masaki: Yukina.../ Don't startle me like that...
Yukina: (Ahaha) Sorry, sorry / Is that an article about the murder case everyone's been talking about?

Yukina: That was scary-- // But in the end, the culprit killed himself, right?

4
Yukina: ... so that kind of story is not worth worrying about! // Miyo and her friends invited me to go out for karaoke. Masaki, do you also want to...

Masaki: Ah, I'll pass // Sorry
Yukina: What? Again? / You've been having a hard time with hanging out lately, huh?

Yukina: Well, I'll see you tomorrow!

Text: I know...
Masaki: It wasn't... // a suicide...
Text: Who it was that killed the criminal...

Yukina: I wonder where she is... / ...that girl
Text: A lovely and cruel shinigami figure...

Text: Five Days Earlier
Friend: Later, Masaki
Masaki: Take Care!
Masaki: Uwa / It's gotten so late...

6
Masaki: Uu...As expected // This empty street gives me a bad feeling... / And I've heard dangerous stories ...

Criminal: Good evening, young lady

7
Criminal: Sorry for startling you // ...Ah / You understand who I am, right? / Lately it seems I've gotten pretty famous...

Criminal: Killing people is so fun // Constraining myself to murdering only people chosen for my work.. / there's no way I'll do that.

Criminal: Killing young women is the most fun //　Their shrill cries are irresistible

Text: ---Who is---

Criminal: ... You also... // Give me your best scream
[SFX: jatsutsu (scissors)]

[SFX: Za-ntsu]
Criminal: Ah...
Shinigami: ...Seriously

9
Shinigami: You were in a place like this, huh / I was searching for you, but it took longer than expected // You traitor puppet.

10
Masaki: Wait a sec...
Shinigami: ...Ah / I have to

Shinigami: I'm going to have to get rid of / you, as well

Shinigami: ...please be calm / I'll make sure it doesn't hurt.

11
Shinigami: You aren't afraid?
Masaki: I'm scared / I'm scared, but...

Masaki(shaded): I'm also thinking... you're so pretty...

Shinigami: What a strange person

12
Shinigami: I'm only doing my job // My job to eliminate puppets who have gone insane...
Masaki: ...puppets...?

Shinigami: The guy lying behind you // Is one of those

Shinigami: A foolish puppet who disobeyed the will of the "controlling string" // There is no value in the existence of such a failed piece of work.

Shinigami: ... I've said too much

13
Shinigami: Please forget what happened tonight // If you do that // I'll let you go // young lady // Good-bye

14
Text: An impression of her lingers on... // Her innocent eyes... her overwhelming power of death // Her soft tone of voice ... the scent of fresh blood // ---And the touch of her lips--

Masaki: I wonder if I could meet // one more time // with that girl

15
Ayumi: Masaki?
Masaki: Ah, Ayumi...
Ayumi: What're you doin?

16
Shinigami: ...Why did I let her go?

17
Shinigami: What is it?
Assassin: That high school girl
Shinigami: I don't understand what you mean
Assassin: Isn't the elimination of witnesses also the will of the "controlling string"? // Despite knowing this, you let that girl go.
Assassin: Hinageshi // You're a top-ranking assassin. Are you not thinking of your job?

18
Assassin: Relax, I'm not going to report on you. // It would be rough if our "sister" knew
Shinigami: As you wish / I don't particularly care... / Is that all?
Assassin: That's good /　So you can do your job // with no reservations
Shinigami: That girl... where do you think she is now?
Assassin: Surely where she always is / Looking for you.

19
Assassin: It's dangerous, don't you think, at this time of night // for a girl to go out walking alone // She might become involved in an unfortunate incident
Shinigami: And what of it?
Assassin: ...You're so calm
Shinigami: She's just a person I let go on a whim / She's of no consequence to me
Assassin: Please don't make me speak to you about this again.

20
Shinigami: Understood / I apologize for taking up your time
Assassin: Your opponent is just a single girl / Clear it up soon
Masaki: Ha..

21
Text: ---Perhaps // That was just a dream, after all---
Masaki: If I can't find her like this // Maybe... it's better this way..
Text: ---However // I just want to see her one more time---

23
Shinigami: Young lady / Are you an idiot?
[SFX: zurutsu (pulling scissors out)]

24
Shinigami: Even after you were in a dangerous situation / you're still staggering around the city at night
Shinigami: Do you have zero learning capability? / I can't think you're completely sane.　
Shinigami: You... // are such an idiot

25
Masaki: ...Even though you're the one who told me to forget it
Shinigami: That's just sophistry
Masaki: ...Even if I wanted to // I'm not able to forget ... // you
Masaki: ...Ow
Shinigami: ...Ah... //... you're injured

26
Masaki: ... yeah
Masaki: I've been rescued... again // in the end
Shinigami: Please don't misunderstand me. / I saved you because It's my responsibility to kill you, since you have seen my work. // Troublesome person, whoever you are---
Masaki: Masaki

27
Masaki: My name is Kanogawa Masaki // But the reason doesn't matter, right? / It doesn't change the fact that you saved me.
Masaki: ..Hey / Could we / possibly meet again...?

28
Shinigami: ...Kanogawa... // ...Masaki...
