Panel 2:

Arago: At the site of repeated accidents, the "Demon's Curve"
Arago: Another case is being handled...

Panel 2:
Arago: Day and night I'm working... At this rate, my body won't last...

Panel 3:
Arago: The life you gave me... ...I'm not wasting it...
Arago: But maybe I've made a really unreasonable promise...

Panel 4:
1: With my brother's arm, and a cursed power.
2: Anybody would get mentally worn out...
3: I am not the Patch Man...
4: But if my secret were to leak out, I don't think the people around me would understand...

Panel 5:
1: So far, nobody's noticed,
2: But you're watching, right?
3: Ewan.

Page 6:
Panel 2:
Joe: Are you alright, Arago?
Joe: You've got some serious bags under your eyes.

Panel 3:
Arago: Eh? Really?
Joe: How nice it must be, being young.

Panel 4:
Arago: I'm telling you that's not it!! Please don't try to make things more complicated...

Panel 5:
Joe: This is pretty terrible huh? How is it over there, Larry?
Arago SFX: Yawn...
Larry: This guy committed suicide, looks like. There's nothing to investigate here.

Panel 6:
Larry: The body was identified as Braem Matthew.
Larry: He was a drug dealer.

Page 7:
Panel 1:
Larry: He was only recently released from prison, and couldn't find a decent job, it seems.
Larry: He got divorced while he was in prison, and was nailed for narcotics possession too.
Larry: He had plenty of reasons to commit suicide.

Panel 2:
Joe: So he had a criminal record, eh...
Joe: And the one who arrested him was...

Panel 3:
Joe: Detective Ewan Hunt.

Panel 4:
Larry; That's right, it was the work of your extremely capable older brother.
Joe: This is even his report...

Panel 5:
Larry: And there's something else too. The emergency dispatchers reported that they got a call from Braem's cell phone last night,
Larry: Apparently he was in an extremely confused state, and he blurted out something very strange.

Left side:
Top Box: Character Info:
Below: Arago Hunt. After the Patch Man's surgery, he now has part of his older brother Ewan's body and a strange power in his hand. Succeeding his older brother's will, he became a police officer, and has now been selected to become a detective for the criminal investigations department.

Page 8:
Panel 1:
Larry: [The detective who arrested me,]
Larry: [Ewan Hunt is chasing me!]

Right side:
Top Box: Character Info:
Below: Joe Sullivan. A skirt-chasing assistant inspector from the detective section. He has a high opinion of Arago.

Panel 2:
Larry: Arago Hunt, I wonder if you have an alibi for last night?
Arago: Haahn!?
Joe (small bubble): Now, now

Panel 3:
Larry: Hah, but there's no question about it anyway
Larry: Braem, with no future prospects and after completely defeating himself, resorted to his own drugs. It was just a drug induced hallucination.

Panel 4:
Larry: It's just a suicide! A suicide!

Page 9:
Panel 1:
1: Ewan was chasing him?
2: There's no way...

Panel 3:
Arago: Drug induced... hallucination?

Panel 4:
Larry: Hey, you! Don't go around touching the evidence!!
Larry: You're unbelievable, destroying the crime scene!!
Larry: Give me that!!

Panel 5:
Larry: Geez...
Larry: Are you an idiot...?
Arago: Um... wouldn't it be better not to just dismiss this out of hand as just another suicide?

Panel 6:
Larry: Hahn!?

Panel 7:
Larry: What the--? You think you can give me advice!?
Larry: You're just a brat that doesn't even understand the basics of crime scene investigation!!

Panel 8:
Larry: You should just keep quiet,
Larry: And stay out of my way!!

Page 10:
Panel 1:
Joe: From the time Larry was in the police academy, Ewan was always his rival, it seems.
Joe: When they were both assigned to this office, he always got pretty worked up about it...

Panel 2:
Joe: He's lost his goal and he's just taking it out on you.
Joe: Don't pay any attention to him.
Arago: I'm not...

Panel 3:
Arago: I've gotten used to it.
Arago: Being hated by people.
Small bubble: Ha ha

Panel 4:
Joe: By the way, what you just said...
Joe: What makes you think that Braem didn't commit suicide?
Arago: No... Just for some reason...

Panel 5:
Joe: Dismissing it as suicide out of hand is no good... I'd say...
Joe: I see, I see...

Panel 6:
Joe: Well, the remains are going to be autopsied, so we'll have the time of death shortly.
Arago: Time of death?

Panel 7:
Joe: Yes.
Joe: Whether Larry is correct, or you are.
Joe: The time of death will give us the answer.

Page 11:
Panel 2:
1: He had a criminal record?
2: The one who arrested him was your extremely capable older brother.

Panel 3:
1: A strange emergency call.
2: Ewan is chasing him.
Arago: A drug addict's hallucination... And then suicide.

Panel 4:
SFX: Whine Whine
Arago: !

Panel 5:
Arago: Hey, this is the police station's parking lot, you know.
Arago: You must be lost, huh?

Panel 6:
Arago: What? Do you wanna play?
Arago: You must be lonely too, huh.
SFX: Nuzzle

Panel 7:
Arago: Hold on a second, now... if I touch you with my bare hands it'll hurt you..

SFX: ZZT!

Panel 3:

Panel 5:
Arago: What the heck...
Arago: Even dogs hate me...
Arago: This sucks...

Panel 6:
Arago: I injure everything I touch...
Arago: I guess this kind of power is well suited for such a hated guy, jeez...

Panel 7:
1: Arago.
SFX: Creak

Page 13:
Panel 1:
Rio: What, are you just wasting time or something out here?
(T/N: This is Japanese colloquialism, She literally says: "What, are you selling oil out here or something?")

Panel 2:
Arago: What happened to you Rio? You're bleeding...
Rio: Ah, this?

Panel 3:
Rio: During my patrol, I got into a little scuffle with a hoodlum with a knife.
Rio: But don't worry, I already had it treated.

Panel 4:
Arago: Already had it treated you say... ...you...

Panel 5:
Arago: You're gonna die one of these days...
Arago: Cut out for this job ...you're really not.
SFX (small bubble): Mu!

Panel 6:
Rio: What did you say? What do you mean by that?
Rio: I think you're even less suited to be a detective, though.
SFX: BACHI!!
Arago: That's exactly what I mean, since it's just impossible for you, "Crybaby Rio".
Arago: Why something like a police officer...

Page 14:
Panel 1:
Rio: Why, you ask...
Officer: Rio, could this person be...

Panel 2:
Rio: Ah, right! This is my childhood friend, Arago.
Officer: I thought so! He's just like Ewan!!

Panel 3:
Officer: Your older brother was a great man.
Officer: All of us... no, the whole city is unfortunate
Officer: To have lost someone like him...

Panel 5:
Officer: Ah, hey, why don't you have some coffee with us?

Panel 6:
Officer: The firearms' department's special blend is really good!
Arago: Sorry, I'm really busy.

Panel 7:
Officer: Come on, don't say that...

Page 15:
Panel 1:
Arago: Don't touch me!!

Panel 3:
Arago: ...Ah...
Arago: Sorry...

Rio: Please take care of yourselves.
1: Yeah, you be careful too!

Panel 2:
Rio: All the covering up I did for Arago was no good...
Memory: He didn't mean anything bad by it!!
Memory: He's just a misunderstood type of person...!!

Panel 3:
1: Why something like a police officer...
Rio: Why did he say that... He should understand best of all...

Panel 4:
Rio: Wanting to become like Ewan...
Rio: I thought I knew him a little better than that...

Panel 5:
1: Rio?
Rio: Yes?

Page 17:
Panel 2:

Rio: Just a minute Arago, quit messing with me...
Rio: It's not funny... this joke...
