"1)}Hidden Danger" "SSC-000124GJ." "is it?" "Yes." "You're returning from your studies in No. 5 because of your grandmother's passing." "Is that correct?" "Yes." "Welcome home." "Are you a Picasso fan?" "Yes." "you won't be allowed to bring that into No. 6." "Has it been a while since you were in No. 6?" "Huh?" "Is this a homecoming for you?" "I suppose... why?" "outsiders rarely visit." "It was simple to determine. but people from the outside always find it strange." "That's how I knew you were from No. 6." "How could you tell I hadn't been here in a while?" "How to put it..." "You have an air about you." "I suppose." "The wind?" "it feels like a wind follows you." "Wow!" "Grandmother..." "She's cold..." "Why is she so cold?" "Your grandmother's death was a happy one." "There was no pain or suffering." "She died at peace." "A happy death?" "My grandmother..." "Was she happy?" "Huh?" "I can't think of anything to do tomorrow or the day after that." "Was she truly happy?" "Of course. a place for people to spend their final days in tranquility." "She had to have been happy." "Here." "Her personal effects." "This is everything?" "Yes." "it doesn't matter if we're far apart." "We'll be connected in our hearts by this thread." "Grandmother would never have discarded her knitting needle." "Grandmother..." "Were you truly happy in the Twilight House?" "I can't smell anything." "Nothing..." "It doesn't smell like Grandmother. what's wrong with this city?" "Connection cannot be established?" "What?" "What happened?" "Deregistration?" "A felon?" "Sion would never murder anyone!" "Here you are." "I love the smell of fresh-baked bread." "it's the smell of someone waiting for you at home." "you should get home." "Uh-huh!" "Safu?" "my!" "You've become so beautiful..." "I'm amazed." "But I was under the impression that you were studying in a different city... so I returned." "Your grandmother?" "Ah..." "She was your only family." "isn't it?" "isn't it?" "We're going to get rain." "is he?" "He must have escaped." "Mrs. K?" "What makes you think that?" "You're too composed." "I guessed it the moment I saw you." "You're not despairing." "You don't look like a mother who's lost her son." "Mrs. K." "isn't he?" "I knew it." "Where is Sion?" "The West District..." "That's all I know." "The West District." "I see..." "Wait!" "What will you do with that information?" "I'm going to find him." "What?" "Safu!" "Listen to yourself!" "Don't you realize how dangerous the West District is?" "I don't." "I've heard that it's a terrifying place." "But I'm still going!" "you'll never be able to— if that's what happens!" "I want to see him..." "I want to see Sion." "But Safu..." "I love him!" "I love him..." "I really do." "He's the only person I've ever loved." "Safu." "You see..." "I thought I'd be bearing this alone." "But I forgot about you..." "That there was someone else who cared about Sion." "Thank you." "But I'm sure that he just to see him." "What he wants doesn't matter." "Huh?" "I'm selfish." "I can't stand waiting around." "I'm dying to see him..." "So I'm going to." "And that's that." "so I can't be strong like you." "If..." "If he never came back... I have one more question." "Who is he with?" "Huh?" "it seems." "Rat?" "Yes..." "That's all I know." "Thank you very much!" "I'm glad I got to see you." "Sion!" "Hold on!" "The Bureau of Public Security?" "I believe?" "I believe?" "Stop!" "Let me go!" "Someone!" "I haven't done anything!" "Sion!" "What's wrong?" "It's nothing." "I was just thinking of someone." "Who?" "A person who once wore that sweater." "Must be a girl." "Please..." "Rat wore that sweater at one point." "You can't tell if it was a boy or a girl." "It was a girl!" "It was definitely a girl!" "Welcome back." "How bad is the rain?" "It's just drizzling." "Dogkeeper wants to see you." "Dogkeeper?" "It's fortunate the rain stopped." "Hurry it up." "I can't stand the smell..." "Shut up and hold him!" "He's my mother's brother." "Would that make him your uncle?" "I guess." "It's one less companion that I can talk to about my mother." "But it stinks!" "whether you're a dog or a human!" "but you'll still die in the end!" "That's common sense!" "But it was a worthwhile life." "it was." "Rat!" "You can have the honor of carrying the dead dog!" "Idiocy." "I'll pass on both." "Forget about him." "I don't want his help." "He'd defile the grave." "But we should have him sing a eulogy." "it'll cost you..." "Three silvers." "you sack of shit!" "I'll crush your windpipe!" "What a joke." "Want me to bury you next to your uncle?" "You can't bury me!" "I'm gonna survive!" "you filthy rat!" "What's wrong with Dogkeeper?" "Why is he so angry?" "Rikiga!" "Get Dogkeeper to give you some money." "I have to go and gather the stuff we'll need." "It isn't easy to dig in frozen soil." "but it should have been relatively soft." "We did just have rain." "Spring is drawing near." "Spring... aren't you?" "They may become active before the spring." "Once they begin..." "What will happen to No. 6?" "It should make quite a show." "Will the greatest of actors perform the greatest of tragedies or the greatest of comedies?" "What do you think?" "My mother's in the city..." "I can't afford to sit in the audience." "You intend to return?" "before spring." "I'll see if I can create a serum." "Since I'm the only survivor who can provide a blood sample..." "You genius types are so noble." "What can you possibly do without a single beaker or syringe?" "I already asked Rikiga for help." "You won't put up a fight?" "There's no point." "It's a little early to give up." "Don't you want to live?" "Of course I do." "I could never bring myself to kill you..." "Is that what you think?" "It is." "Don't get too cocky." "That isn't why I saved your life." "Don't stick your nose in where it's not wanted." "Sit tight until the time comes." "Until the time comes?" "When will that be?" "When I've finished destroying No. 6." "This is your blood." "Don't waste it on some stupid serum." "Find a better use for it." "Why do you hate the city so much?" "What ties you to No. 6?" "Why do you despise it so?" "Does it have something to do with the scars on your back?" "!" "You still don't get it? so its residents can live in luxury—" "You're saying that it's a parasite city." "Yes." "So you do understand." "Humans are meant to fight parasites." "It's common sense." "I want to know your personal reasons!" "Is it revenge?" "you refused to answer." "But I want you to tell me..." "Rat!" "No. 6 or me." "Make your choice." "You love No. 6." "I abhor it." "That's why we're doomed to become enemies." "Why must everything be so black and white with you?" "Love or hate..." "Friend or foe..." "Inside the wall or outside it." "That's it..." "We just have to get rid of the wall." "Huh?" "We just have to destroy the wall!" "will no longer exist." "There won't be an inside or outside!" "You don't need to destroy No. 6." "You just have to wipe it off the map!" "There's a third option!" "Is it really that funny?" "it is..." "The best joke I've ever heard!" "you're clueless and delusional?" "my ass." "That's just idealistic nonsense." "I'm serious!" "I refuse." "You're looking for the easy way out." "A way that keeps you from getting hurt." "You're wrong... the result wouldn't be heaven." "It'd be hell on Earth." "plunder..." "It's impossible." "We're not dealing with paint..." "You can't mix them together." "One must destroy the other." "That's our fate." "Love or hate..." "Friend or foe..." "Inside the wall or outside it..." "And you or me." "We can never be united." "We can't be sure until we've tried!" "I'm certain." "I can say that I won't be your enemy." "I'll be by your side." "That's bullshit." "That's my resolve." "A letter?" ""Safu was taken by the Bureau of Public Security." ""Help her!" ""— Karan." "That girl?" "Do I really want to tell Sion about this?" "He'll run straight to No. 6." "Even if it costs him his own life... every person is bound to run into trouble." "you're actually worried about me?" "Never." "You would never sacrifice your own life for someone else." "I'm sick of your patronizing." "Leave me alone." "I'll do this without you to hold me back." "Fine." "Our paths will never cross again. to very end!" "I'm glad to have known you." "True Lies — Empty Truth" "You're a liar."
