"then you are probably connected to Hei somehow." "That's if the past hasn't changed." "I don't get it." "I'm not blaming you for firing." "Suou!" "What do you mean?" "I don't get it." "are you okay?" "That was terrible!" "What the heck were they expecting from us?" "Who even wants a gag character like that these days?" "Seriously!" "I was actually getting into it because it was starting to get good and serious!" "I'm not going to let the director get away with this!" "look!" "Doesn't she look similar?" "from Maurice the Rose:" "The Crying Vase and the Elephant's Trunk." "Caravaggio?" "From the movie?" "Yeah!" "The one that's kind of like a psycho!" "she does look sick." "Kiko!" "I'm not really into loli... that's a crime." "Go do something!" "It's that pink girl!" "We found this on a roof 100 meters southeast of the scene." "We also found an empty 14.5mm cartridge." "huh?" "So is it safe to say that it's the same one that's brought forth by Izanagi's ability?" "It hasn't been confirmed whether that child is Izanagi." "We don't even know whether it's a girl or a boy." "So we can't tell unless we strip them." "Is it just a decoy?" "So the real Izanagi is somewhere else?" "He might already be in Tokyo." "what's with that PTRD?" "The scope and bolt are on the opposite sides." "The child in Vladivostok wasn't left-handed." "We can't deny the possibility that Izanagi and Dr. Pavlichenko may already be here." "Maybe they're all planning to meet somewhere?" "BK-201 won't necessarily act the same way they will." "the first thing he would go after is probably..." "Izanami." "So you've come to." "Where am... but it's better than having your cold get worse." "Where is this?" "An acquaintance's home?" "Not exactly." "but they aren't bad people." "No!" "You can't go out yet!" "...Probably." "Amber." "A contractor that holds the Memory of the Future." "the EPR." "Once a member of MI-6." "There is also evidence that she operated with BK-201 in the Heaven's War." "I barely knew anything about her then. and also what came after." "then you should be able to borrow the CD easily." "Open it with an analysis program." "The keyword is Izanami." "Izanami..." "These are the Mitaka Documents?" "I want you to read those documents." "And please tell them for me." "Hei will... so that no one will make any mistakes." "T-Thanks." "No!" "No need to thank us!" "But you were kind enough to give me a change of clothes." "And they look great." "She's really happy about it!" "She's got some real talent!" "Or maybe that's how she naturally is?" "I feel like I've done a good deed." "How about we go somewhere too?" "good idea!" "Where to?" "Ikebukuro." "She's serious!" "She wants to go to Ikebukuro with how it is now!" "Maybe she always wanted to go to Otome road when she was in Russia." "This is so cool!" "So your mom's a photographer?" "I want her to come take pictures for the next event!" "But..." "We're just kidding!" "A professional wouldn't come." "I don't know where she is." "She left me when I was young." "you're making me cry!" "I see!" "So you've traveled so far to look for your long lost mom!" "the more precious it is!" "What's this?" "What do you mean?" "It's a giant flying squirrel." "A momonga." "he seems to be staring me down." "He probably had a grudge against you in a previous life." "let's look for her mom!" "that's not really it..." "No can do." "Why not?" "You were bawling your eyes out!" "That has nothing to do with this." "We're pros." "We don't work for free." "We wouldn't be here asking you if we had the money!" "aren't we? and ripping them off like a brute!" "Don't say bad things about me!" "I have some." "so I'd like to go to Ikebuk..." "Kiko!" "It's a tear-jerking reunion special!" "boss!" "E-Excuse me..." "Tokyo is amazing." "It really has changed." "No good." "She seems to be out." "Hasn't been back in a while too." "That's a real snag." "What are we going to do?" "Don't worry." "I've still got some connections." "On to the next place!" "Yeah!" "Are they trying to harass me?" "Why does the editor of that photo collection have this store?" "He just changed jobs." "The publication industry's in a slump." "then she's probably somewhere on a photo shoot." "Photo shoot?" "It's real troublesome when she does that." "so it's impossible to find her." "What kind of pictures has she been taking lately?" "Let's see..." "She's been really particular about the Gate recently." "That's it!" "What is?" "I got it!" "What did you get?" "yes...!" "Boss!" "Are you okay?" "Oh!" "How wonderful!" "It's like Buddha's final moment!" "Why are you hiding Izanami's whereabouts from us too? he will no doubt go after her!" "BK-201 is just a gloomy gigolo!" "then we can't let this chance go!" "I didn't think you two would agree to such an extent." "All those who go to where she's being kept have the ME used on them." "there are only a few who know where she is." "No one will likely lay their eyes on Izanami ever again." "he really takes the fun out of everything." "What is it?" "yet can't?" "guess I'll go do a thorough search." "Just who are these few that know where Izanami is besides the chief?" "The probability that BK-201 will go after them isn't zero." "I want to see BK-201." "But if I'm to believe the Mikata Documents... waiting for Izanami." "the two will meet. and the Gate of Hell will open it's way there." "a being unknown." "And strife will continue for eternity." "A preposterous story." "it may be disastrous." "I wonder why?" "I wanted to see mom so much when I was young." "But now..." "How many kilometers do you think the circumference of this thing is?" "Do you have some idea where she is?" "Don't be so impatient." "That's it." "No doubt about it." "This is where this photo was taken." "Her mom will eventually come back here some day." "though!" "Kiko." "so it won't be complete until the construction is too." "Photographers and detectives are the same." "That's what you call a professional." "Some day?" "How long do I have to wait?" "Overseas?" "You mean to other countries?" "Seems like you were unlucky." "She'd usually reserve a room a week in advance to come take a photo." "You don't know when she'll be back?" "Unfortunately not." "She's not one of my tenants." "you all?" "Mom stood here and took photos." "Mom was here..." "Suou." "So you're Suou." "who are you?" "What are you?" "Do you want to see your mom?" "they're able to read other's hearts." "You're kidding." "I've never heard that before." "Your mom will arrive at Haneda tonight at 8 by plane." "How do you know that?" "Having someone you want to see is a good thing." "And I just wanted to meet you." "That's all." "Who is it you really want to see though?" "Who..." "I want to see..." "Bad news!" "Your mom went overseas!" "She's coming back." "At 8 by plane." "Who said that?" "A woman." "Didn't you see her on the way up?" "We didn't see anyone." "I can't believe we have to look through information here." "Wait!" "What is it?" "right?" "to get some goods or something." "Their information has been leaked!" "Over here!" "This way!" "Wait!" "No point in rushing it!" "She won't get here for a while!" "Can we even believe that woman you met on the roof?" "then there's no problem believing in it!" "You little..." "Yes." "Please wait here for a moment." "We will call you when it's ready." "Thank you." "Have you forgotten how your grandfather looks?" "I guess that's understandable" "I was the one that kicked you out of our house." "I'll go wait outside." "Wait." "Take this." "does not have much time left." "Could you go and see your mother?" "That must be the flight!" "you'll be able to see your mom!" "look how fast your heart's beating!" "Beating?" "Well of course it would be!" "Look how much you ran!" "That's not what I meant!" "Right?" "Even I knew I was excited." "But..." "You should know that contractors have no feelings toward relatives." "then I would have forgiven you." "I am your... I realized for the first time how meaningless it was to sacrifice my self after I had become a contractor." "I hate you because of that." "Just remember that I am not your puppet anymore." "You're Sawasaki from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications?" "yes." "please." "So you won't forgive me." "I held some small hope that you would." "Heard?" "Youko!" "She left already?" "She isn't with you?" "isn't this a bit roundabout?" "Excuse me!" "It can't be...!" "Stop!" "Li!" "Let go of Youko." "Neither of us will have an advantage if you carry a hostage." "Let her go." "Wait!" "How?" "How did he see through me so easily?" "Because I was unprepared?" "hesitant?" "Impossible..." "There seems to be some problem on the runway." "I don't care anymore." "I don't have to see her." "No way!" "You were so excited!" "Mom!" "There's..." "There's no paper!" "See?" "Even this wasted middle-aged man with body odor has dreams of his mom!" "There isn't one kid that isn't happy to see their mom." "Mom..." "Why?" "Mom..." "I missed you so much!" "Kiko." "What about the tear-jerking scene?" "Staying any longer would be uncouth." "A parent and child's love isn't some spectacle." "It's something everyone should hold and cherish for themselves." "what an adult thing to say!" "how Matsukichi has grown!" "mom." "How do you know my real name?" "Hey!" "Wait!" "I said wait!" "Shion!" "What do you want to eat?" "Shion?" "You have us mixed up again." "Is it because of these clothes?" "I'm not Shion." "You can't be..." "I'm Suou." "Don't lie to me." "You're not Suou." "You can't be her!" "Because... 8 years ago..." "She died! into the void of emptiness." "And... she clings on to something."
