"all done!" "that's cold!" "Heh." "Looks like you're getting used to the job." "I appreciate the compliment." "That wasn't a compliment!" "Don't get too full of yourself." "Puppies!" "Dogkeeper..." "They're so soft!" "Do you want me to wash you?" "stupid featherbrain..." "Finish the job." "I'm supposed to meet Rikiga this afternoon..." "You can leave once you're done." "Okay!" "1)}True Lies — Empty Truth" "Could you spare me some lunch?" "I'm starving." "You must be joking." "I don't have any food to spare for a star actor." "what do you want?" "Here to pick up Sion?" "I have a job for you." "A job?" "Consider that a down payment." "You'll get another one when you finish the job." "Generous." "But I refuse." "You're turning down a job that pays two gold coins?" "Taking a job from you that pays two gold coins would be like sticking my arm into a nest of poisonous vipers." "you won't make any money." "Depends on the situation!" "I would have accepted the job if it hadn't come from you." "Such a waste." "Fine." "Our paths will never cross again." "I'll never ask you to do another job for me." "Don't expect my help when you're suffering." "Rat!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "You fear death." "You can't bury me!" "I'm gonna survive!" "But we both know that death comes to all." "Dogkeeper? it won't be my concern." "I won't come." "And I won't sing for you." "What are you talking about?" "A slow and painful death?" "no matter how much pain you're in." "Is that what you want?" "Information on the correctional facility?" "Every little fact helps." "What are you babbling about?" "I can't get information on that place... right?" "The authorities won't watch a low-level worker too closely." "Use him to get the information I need." "What's that?" "A map of the correctional facility." "Huh?" "I need you to update the new section." "I need intel on the security system." "I'll need money for that." "Two gold coins won't be enough!" "that's all I have." "I need your help..." "Please." "I promise to come help you when you're in pain." "I promise to sing a song for your soul." "You have my word." "I'll take the job." "I appreciate it." "does it?" "Why do you ask?" "It doesn't." "So Sion doesn't know about..." "There's no need to involve him." "Then you actually do have emotions." "Is that clueless fool so important to you?" "and get to work!" "Got it?" "Huh? does not exist in our records." "Does not exist?" "That isn't possible... please." "Look at all the pretty flowers over there!" "Really?" "Yeah!" "Let's go!" "Let's go see!" "may I sit next to you?" "Y-Yes..." "Lovely weather we're having." "Yes." "Sorry to disturb you." "I couldn't let you sit alone." "My..." "Is that why you stopped to talk to me?" "why do you look so sad?" "I appreciate your concern." "There's something troubling me." "I see... every person is bound to run into trouble. now that I live in this wonderful city." "I always tell my grandchildren that they should be grateful they were born here." "This truly is a utopia." "isn't it?" "Is that so..." "Huh?" "Is No. 6 truly a utopi—" "Karan!" "There you are!" "Yoming..." "Sorry for being late." "Come on." "My car's parked over here." "U-Um..." "Play along." "Huh?" "traffic was terrible." "I see." "sorry." "What's going on?" "You were in danger." "What?" "That woman may have been working for the authorities." "they'll send you to the correctional facility." "Working for the authorities?" "I'm a dissenter... right?" "Y-Yes." "No. 6 considers such behavior to be very inconvenient." "Because this city is supposed to be a utopia... it isn't." "Which means that you're right." "you're..." "I've been investigating No. 6." "Let's continue this conversation at your shop." "Sion." "I wasn't able to gather the items you requested." "I knew it would be difficult." "I must make a serum before spring." "I understand." "I'll see what I can do." "All right." "Thank you very much." "Sion..." "You're such a nice boy!" "You should spend more time rather than others!" "Are you getting enough to eat?" "I am... he's probably feeding you moldy crusts!" "Look how thin you are..." "And your clothes are filthy!" "yeah..." "We should search for the tools we need..." "How about this?" "really..." "Rikiga." "Buying presents for a girl?" "I'm looking for clothes for this kid." "What an adorable young man." "Is he your son?" "I don't need any clothes." "Sion!" "The winters here are harsh." "we can try elsewhere." "W-We have plenty to offer." "Look." "dear." "I'm so sorry." "you should treat your merchandise with care." "I'm so sorry." "Hmm?" "Find something you like?" "Safu..." "Hmm?" "that's a women's jacket." "Though it's quite nice." "Sion?" "Where did you get this?" "E-Excuse me?" "Where did you get this?" "!" "Where am I..." "Amazing." "Her numbers are maxed out." "A perfect sample." "Sample..." "We'll no longer need the other samples." "And we won't have to deal with any random errors." "Errors?" "What?" "We have obtained our golden egg. you'll die in no time..." "Eve." "What do you want?" "Do you have the information I need?" "We have an emergency." "Sion showed up last night." "He began pestering me about this gray coat" "I smuggled from the correctional facility." "A gray coat?" "by the name of Safu." "So?" "Please..." "I'm asking the questions." "You want information on the correctional facility right?" "You're going to save her?" "Never." "You would never sacrifice your own life for someone else." "It's possible that I could survive." "Huh?" "Are you out of your mind?" "We're talking about the correctional facility!" "you'll never escape alive!" "you're actually worried about me?" "That's a surprise." "I'm not worried about you!" "What about Sion?" "!" "he's gonna run off!" "I don't care what he does." "Then why did you hide this from him?" "Just worry about the job I'm paying you for." "Sion's going there." "He thinks you don't know about this." "He'll go without telling you." "He won't want you to get involved." "But you haven't told Sion that..." "Shut up! to very end!" "What am I doing?" "Why don't I get rid of him before he costs me my life?" "Spending all my money on intel about the correctional facility..." "Am I an idiot?" "Rat." "Looks like a feast." "I used the money I got from washing the dogs." "every once in a while." "delicious!" "how's that serum coming?" "Making any progress with your third option?" "I haven't been able to find the tools." "Rikiga's helping me with that." "Good grief..." "So you're relying on others?" "I guess so." "I'm too reliant on Rikiga and you... you won't need my help anymore." "You'll be able to go see your mommy." "too." "That's true." "what if she makes another offer?" "Will you have sex with her this time?" "I'm not sure..." "She may have lost interest in me." "She's the type who'll devote herself to one guy." "you're blind... but I consider myself a good judge of character." "Heh..." "You sound confident." "I never would have realized what kind of person I am. obedient adult." "after spending time with you... and anger... too." "And that makes me proud." "I'm glad to have known you." "was it?" "It was a good-night kiss." "huh?" "Oh!" "I have to get up early tomorrow." "The dogs need shaving." "huh?" "You're a liar." "Why are you here?" "He's serving as a guide." "He's telling you that you're going the wrong way." "Aren't you supposed to be going to see Dogkeeper?" "I'm sick of your patronizing." "Leave me alone." "I'll do this without you to hold me back." "So don't interfere." "your acting has improved since last night." "W-What was that for?" "This is your punishment." "Punishment?" "For looking down on me." "I've never looked down on you!" "you're looking down on them." "my ass!" "Do you take me for a fool?" "!" "Safu was taken by the Bureau of Public Security." "Help her!" "— Karan." "I asked Dogkeeper to find the information I need." "So we can sneak into the correctional facility and save her as soon as possible." "we have to prepare." "So don't be so impatient." "Hey!" "That's punishment." "For hiding this note from me and working behind my back!" "What would you have done if I'd told you?" "!" "I knew you had no chance if you just ran off alone!" "I was worried about you!" "That doesn't make hiding the truth okay." "I don't need you to baby me!" "I don't need you to protect me!" "I want to be your equal! without No. 6 clouding your vision..." "You belittle me and refuse to tell me anything." "Don't give me that crap." "I belittle you?" "You're the one who doesn't understand..." "You don't realize how huge it was when you saved my life four years ago." "I had already given up." "A stranger had no reason to help me." "I had to wonder if I'd been born just for a pathetic death." "But..." "That innocently opened window was a miracle to me." "Humans are willing to help each other." "That's what you taught me." "You're the only one who ever tried." "I could never forget that lesson..." "That's why I am who I am today." "I'm sorry about the letter." "I won't do anything like that again." "I promise." "So no more farewell kisses." "And no lies." "Yeah." "I promise." "I've gotten you involved in this mess." "It's not your fault." "Cheer up." "It'll work out." "we'll make it work." "Rat..." "Thank you." "I have something to show you." "To show me?" "Follow me." "The great king..." "Lord... beyond human capacity." "You want to know why I hate No. 6?" "I never tried to learn the truth! but that's no excuse." "I'm a sample?" "Who is she?" "Will you sing now?" "Stop..." "The Reason..." "Stop it!"
