I haven't seen you guys lately! I heard that... youji is missing? katou : forget about him, he just pisses me off! he still hasn't returned my five thousand bucks yet, and just disappeared like that. and then after that happened, (smoking) everyone's a little weird, as if we can't do anything right without some dope. man : ok! so do you want some E, or pills? katou : forget it, I'm broke right now. man : fine... I'll give you a break, (take out something) wanna try a new import? it's a new formula. katou : hmm... and it's in a plastic package. [that's rare.] (eat) it better not be some second rate junk. man : hahah. I promise it's good. (stepping into the light) katou (alarm) : hn? y... you're not the usual cop! who are you? (disguise fades, it's rociel of course) katou : ah! (shock) i... I've never seen such a beautiful foreigner! so beautiful... every strand of that blond hair shines brilliantly, a little horrifying... it's as if he's not from this world... ...huh? you face... I thought... (falling) I saw it some where before... rociel (katou at his feet) : go to sleep. I promise you'll have a good dream... a dream just like your friend youji... text (sara running) : where am I? brother, where are you going? why aren't you helping me like usual? sara : ah! (found setsuna) brother! I finally found you!! finally--! (grab setsuna's arm) brother!! setsuna (face in darkness) : sara... don't touch me! stop daydreaming over there, you're so annoying! (ruri leaning against him) this is the girl I like. sara : n... NO...!! that's not it! mother : sara!! (sara wake up) are you alright? you were really sweating... and you've cried... sara : [it was a dream...] hn? (find herself in bed) did you put on my bed sheets? mother : it wasn't me. oh yes, did your friend leave already? sara (remembers) : [friend...?] mother : oh! what happened to the floor? the carpet has holes... ruri (flashbacks) : [I can't never become someone like sara... shut up, you bitch... dirty woman...] sara : [ruri...] ruri (more flashbacks) : [I get pissed just by looking at that good-girl pretence on your face! sara...] sara (remember) : [yes! that...] (look behind the drawers) mother : sara? sara (found a feather) : [that wasn't a dream!] mother : sara, you must be tired... but don't worry, everything will be fine. i... I have some good news... some very good news... (sara turns around surprised, I think her whole body freezes... and then...) sara : WHAT!? (sometime later in school, sara not really paying attention... teacher taking attendence) teacher : saiki! (no response) saiki is absent again? then... (ruri's empty seat) saitou! saitou : here! (sara staring thoughtfully at ruri's chair. remembering the conversation she had with her mother) mother : [mom has decided. sara... all of this was done for you, I'm sure you'll agree to it!] sara : [brother... he said he hates me. I have wished so often... that it was a lie. I wish I could believe that he did it for my sake... but... I know so well... my brother can't lie... I know really well... i... I like brother! in this world, I like him the most! I don't know if this is love... even if brother hates me, I don't care... I still love him the most... mother definitely wouldn't tell him THAT... even if he knew, she would never allow him to have a chance of stopping it... mom, that was so cruel...] teacher : mudou! mudou sara! what's wrong? answer my call! sara : no... I really... don't want that! teacher : huh? [rebellious of a new teacher?] sara : if I don't tell brother now, i... I'll regret it for the rest of my life! (suddenly stand up, push off her chair and just runs out of the classroom... *typical school day, eh?*) class : sara!? teacher : mudou sara, what are you doing? we're in the middle of a lesson. class : sara, wait! what's wrong? teacher : come back! mudou sara!! sara (running) : [like... brother... I love him the most!] (at setsuna's school, he's reading a magazine) classmate : hey! setsuna! there's a girl looking for you at the gates! setsuna : huh? okazaki (huge reaction) : what the~~~ a girl!!!? (beating on setsuna ) setsuna, come on, we're good buddies! [introduce her to me! traitor!!] setsuna (trying to get away) : [get off of me!] (all the guys looking out the classroom window, sees sara) classmates : oh! that's the girl? she's so pretty! [unforgivable!] hn? wait... that's his sister! setsuna (walk up) : s... sara. (turn around) I don't want to see you anymore! go back! it's school time right now! sara : I have something very important to tell you!! setsuna : ... (sweating) what? sara : I'll tell you only if you kiss me! setsuna (startle) : huh? what the hell are you talking about? sara : then are you saying that you only dare to kiss me while I'm sleeping? I didn't think you were a coward! setsuna : I don't have time to waste with you! (about to go) sara : wait! are you running away? (pulls his shirt) setsuna : sara... sara : do you know how much courage it took for me to cut class and come here? how dare you run away? that's such a cheap shot! maybe... this is the last time... it's ok if you lie to me, I don't care... and then I won't bother you ever again... I promise. text (setsuna turn around) : the end? you... won't come ever again... "god would forbid it!" mother said that... huh? (touching sara's lips) the aroma... such a seductive scent... it's like a dream... so this is a girl's scent... it seems... I've smelled it somewhere before... it seems... (lean down) where... (flashback to when he first saw rociel in ruri's room) sara : kiss me, oniisan... (rociel's old trick, sealing a kiss with his pill) setsuna (alarmed) : [oniisan!?] sara (pushed back) : huh? setsuna (staring at her strangely) : that's not right... w... who are you? that scent... you just called me oniisan... sara (another one, running there) : brother!! and... another me? setsuna (to the first sara, in other words, rociel) : you! you are that angel wrapped in electric wires whom I saw at ruri's house? and then you also turned into ruri and attacked me at the abandon factory, right? sara (shock) : [angel? then that feather was...] rociel : hahah, I was so close in making you my puppet! I didn't absorb her like I did with lapis lazult, so I only gathered sara's emotional data. setsuna (funny expression) : lapis lazult? absorb? rociel : she died helplessly like a little bird. lapis lazult is saiki ruri. sara, you should know her. sara (disbelief/horro) : [ruri!?] you... why did you kill her? she was so kind, she never hurt anyone, how could you? yesterday... the one who visited me yesterday was you again? who are you? you monster!! yes! give ruri back to me! you murderer! disgusting monster!! rociel (complete anger) : bitch! how dare you talk to me like that!? (light shines in sara's face, setsuna holds some piece of lumber and blocks the attack, the lumber ends up being completely penetrated by wires.) rociel : ha... hahahah... protect each other all you want! I'll prove to you how weak your feelings are! I'll be anticipating that day! the day you are abandoned by the entire world! the curse will fall upon you two very soon! ahahaha! (he disappears, katou standing silently in the bushes with a camera. later, katan approaches rociel.) katan : rociel? rociel (sad) : she called me... a monster... I am... katan : rociel... (katou walks up with the camera) rociel : did you get all that? katan : rociel, who is he? rociel (hugging katou tight, who is not really reacting to anything) : the last one messed up, he's my new servant. (meanwhile... sara is firing questions at setsuna) sara : as I suspected, things are getting out of hand, even though I don't want to accept it... it must be very serious! I was attacked, and what happened to ruri... I am definitely not dreaming, right? brother! tell me, what is going on? setsuna : [I can't... I can't get sara involved in this anymore...] shut up! even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. plus I don't want to tell you, don't you get it? this has nothing to do with you! don't forget, we are completely unrelated people now!! (turn around and leaves) sara : i... I understand... (setsuna freezes, sara is crying, not really, only tears running down her cheek) I've decided to go to england with mtoher. (setsuna turns around) london... we're going to grandmother's place... I won't bother you ever again... I just wanted to tell you personally. you don't have to keep on reminding me.... about that... setsuna : sa... sara... (reach out his hand) sara (slap his hand away) : don't touch me!! I love brother no matter what, no matter how you mock me! I don't need your pity!! I hate you when you have so much pretense! (run away) setsuna : [this is the best way... everything I did... wasn't it all just to get her away from here? everything's going according to plan... so why... (silent tears) why are my tears...] (kurai and arakune watched the whole thing from the roof) kurai (thinking) : oh please... [humans are such idiots! they can't adopt and change at all. such strange and hopeless creatures!] arakune : kurei, let's go back. if alexiel can't help us, then we need to return and increase our attack forces. kurai : I know... [they place morals on so many acts and then bleed at its thorns... just like us...] (at sara's school, she's been called into the office) sara : I am mudou sara. nun : please sit. we've just received an anonymous letter. do you know what it's about? (sara's eyes are very wide) (at setsuna's school, something's up) classmates : it's true! we saw it yesterday too! he went too far! I know this is an all boys school, we get some sexual desires sometimes, but still! hush! he's coming this way! (setsuna walking over) okazaki (nervous) : um... se... setsuna! (block his way) setsuna : why can't I go in there? (goes in anyway) okazaki : uh... wait, wait! setsuna! (setsuna turns around and sees the poster on the wall, how should I describe his expression? complete shock? anyway, it's a picture of him kissing sara, the OTHER sara... and the words looks like those kidnapping letters with newspaper cut offs saying some mean things) poster : MUDOU SETSUNA HAS A FORBIDDEN INCEST RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SISTER! PREPARE FOR GOD'S WRATH! end of Crying Game, part 1 top volume 02 section 02 Angel Sanctuary - Assiah Act II: Crying Game, Part 2 (in the demon world, where arakune and kurai also dresses up like demons etc.) arakune (asking noise and voice) : do you guys know where kurai is? noise & voice : princess kurai is seeing the dragon gods in the forum of silence. label : the third level of hell - silence noise & voice : hey, arakune sama, when will we attack heaven? if we don't get some fresh blood soon, nobody left will be energetic... arakune (annoyed) : don't worry, it's soon. also, can you just change the way you talk? [it sounds so strange...] noise : [hey, we're talking purely in the mother language of Silence!] voice (I mean the demon named voice, not somebody's voice... this is going to be difficult) : [yeah!] kurai (summon dragons gods) : the ancient seals of the demon gods! the three dragon sisters who controls nature's spiritual world! as the fourteenth daughter of the flame empire, the inheritor of the dragon master-- I summon you! appear! dragons! (the three dragon gods appear, they are actually, or appears to be, cute little girls... not what you'd expect...) kurai : please tell me, do we have any chance against rociel without alexiel's help? please answer me, jade, the dragon god who can see through the future! jade (the blind girl) : your majesty, only the organic angel can defeat the inorganic angel... the key is still in that boy. kurai : what the hell! that stupid guy? he only worries about girls all day, it's pointless! amber : are you jeolous? (giggle) that's so cute. [hehehe] kurai : amber, don't say that! don't you think I can seal you again? amber : oh, you're really scaring me! [little squirt] agate : [of course!] sister amber, even if she is a underdeveloped, genderless kid, she is still our master, don't be so rude! kurai (sweatdrop) : [agate, I'm not here to ask your opinion on those things...] jade : sisters, be quiet! through my blindness, I saw the future... mudou setsuna will awaken very soon... kurai (shock) : what!? jade : the events that happened before only allowed him to temporarily awaken, and he soon returned to that boy, but the trap he is stepping in right now will cause him to completely awaken. and then, if her spirit is taken by heaven again... we will lose the war, and the demon kingdom will fall... and we, the demon spirits will be forever ruled by heaven! kurai : I understand, I will immediately return to assiah. jade : there is one more thing, your majesty, alexiel's awakening will destroy the city tokyo. the little island nation will perish through the lose of its capital. the shift in the world's balance of power will lead to the final war. and also... alexiel's awakening marks mudou setsuna's death. kurai (remembers setsuna's happy face) : [death? whatever, who cares about that guy? that setsuna... will die...! I don't care! all I want to have alexiel come back! those pathetic humans... don't matter at all! yes... I only want alexiel...] (something crash) ! arakune (come in) : kurai... are you here? hey! you're hurt! (kurai's hand is bleeding) kurai : arakune, get ready... we're leaving for assiah immediately!! (at sara's school) mother : it's outrageous, it's true that the boy on the picture is sara's brother setsuna, (I guess the anonymous letter reveals to be another picture, actually the same one that's in setsuna's school) but sara is a victim here, setsuna was trying to pull a prank on her just the other day. it must be an altered photo, (*you know, like those the movie stars are suing about everyday now...*) just like always, when setsuna feels like it, he'll just start playing tricks. sara (resentful) : mom, stop it! mother : please, you know that sara will be leaving japan soon, please protect her from getting hurt by such rumors. nun : we are truly relieved to hear that. mudou san, even though we asked your mother to come... but, from now on, you must refuse any advances from your brother firmly. sara : huh? nun : long ago, people believed that incest was the work of the devil, and began the era of the witch trials, it was really a dreadful thing. you must have heard the phrase " if thou dost not wish to fall unto the depths of dell, cut off thy arm which caused thy sins, and with that body, thou shalt rise unto heaven." why were there so many cases of incest? they sprang from their dreaming fantasy of love that the kids have when they reach puberty. sara : [no...] nun : but it's only a temporary confusion, when you grow up, you won't feel that way anymore. I'm sure you don't want to be cast out of heaven with such filthy thoughts. sara : [that's not true! it's not what you think... it's not a simple emotion! if that was true, I wouldn't be in so much pain...] if heaven really exists... and then after I die... nun : huh? sara : if you are telling me I must leave my sins behind, then you're telling me to lose my heart... I really love my brother... mother : sara!? sara : last time, when he kissed me during my sleep... but the truth was, I was awake, I didn't even try to stop him. because... I wanted to be kissed by brother. mother : sara! do you know what you are saying? nun : how could you... misbehavior...! the sacred land will never take in such misconduct! sara (covering her ears) : I don't care! I've always, always loved my brother... I'm serious... if I live without these emotions, then I'm not myself anymore... I wish to fall into hell with my filthy heart! because I'm a bad girl, as long as I'm with brother, I'm not afraid of anything... even hell... (tears) text : the is the pure and sacred land of the chosen virgins. you cannot stay here anymore. the doors to heaven has closed in your face. the wrath of god. sara (falling down crying) : brother... don't say that you hate me... please... text : the bell toll from the church fades, as if tell me " Begone, you heathen!" the white angels with their blessing flowers hang on to me and wouldn't let go. they are teasing me... the angels... they are cling on to me... setsuna : [sara, are you alright? does it hurt? sara!] sara : [brother... brother... sara's heart hurts... it hurts... dying is so painful... (meanwhile, in setsuna's school) classmate A : I don't believe it! that's his sister... SISTER! what a brute! classmate B : that's only because your sister is ugly. classmate A : [that's a diss...] classmate C : no wonder... setsuna never introduced sara to us. if I had a sister like that, I would have the urge to do something too. an unstoppable desire~~~ classmate D : ha! you're not seriuos! classmate E : that's disgusting! classmate F : setsuna, let us in on it next time! classmate G : yeah! yeah! we're all good buddies! setsuna (covering his ears) : that hurts! (he pushed too hard on his earrings) [earrings... kira sempai forced me to get them before... (flashback)] (kira and setsuna alone in a room, I guess they look a little younger, and kira is punching holes in setsuna ^_^) setsuna : ouch! oh god! you punched THREE holes? kira : shut up, you won't die! if you always talk without having it go through your brain first, you'd get in some deep trouble! of course, you can't control yourself either, so who knows how bad things will get! remember the pain when I punched the holes, next time when you get mad and see blood, recall that pain. maybe that would make your life a little better, simpleton. control yourself please, you're not a baby anymore. setsuna (burying his head on the desk) : [sempai... i... I really can't take this anymore!!] (rips up the posters on the wall) text : why? no matter how many I torn up... new ones sprang up immediately... setsuna : [who is doing this?] katou (setsuna turns around) : so you are her brother? if I knew she was so lewd, I should have had some fun with her at the abandoned factory. pity... she is pretty cute. classmate : idiot, it's because that she's cute, that setsuna likes her. why don't you pick her up next time, so we can all have some fun? katou (to setsuna) : [as your sempai, I'd be glad to help.] show everyone, what incest really is. (setsuna is really pissed and jumps up from his seat) okazaki : no! setsuna... classmate (setsuna just stepped over his lunch as he jumps on the table) : hey! setsuna (standing on the table in front of katou, holding his collar) : you asshole! talk all you want about me! but don't get on sara's case! or else... I'll be the crap out of you! (punch) you bastard! (katou catches his punch and slams his hand on the table) setsuna : ! (katou has this evil gleam in his eyes, and then he twists setsuna's arm) setsuna : OUCH! (hits the floor) AH! classmates : wow! amazing! I can't believe mudou setsuna is beaten! that senior is so strong! how did things get this out of hand? setsuna : [no...] you... [the incredible power... look at his eyes... it seems like he's being controlled...] (katou splash water on him) katou : clean up. or the lunch lady will get really pissed! (knocks the bucket on setsuna's head) setsuna : ! (stare at his hand, blood flowing down his face) [blood! no... as usual... I'm so tired when I see blood...] (katou and his gang leaves, just as kira comes in) guy (scared) : [ah! kira...] (kira doesn't say anything, katou smiles, they pass each other, and katou gives him the finger. setsuna is the bathroom, cleaning himself up by pouring water over his head) setsuna : asshole!! fuck!! (a piece of paper falling... actually, many more where that came from... all over the school yard, the "setsuna & sara" poster flies) classmates : hey...! what is that? where did those come from? hey! that's the freshman... hey! look! setsuna (traumatized?) : don't look... mother : [do you want sara to go to hell?] classmates (flashback) : [I can't believe it! that's his sister! it's so disgusting!] setsuna : uh! mother : [I wish I never had you!] setsuna (screaming) : don't look! don't look at me... (falls) don't look at me with those eyes!! (kira standing in front of him, stepping on a poster, setsuna's hand reach out for him, but kira just slaps him in the face) kira : calm down! that was disgraceful, you know. setsuna! setsuna : calm? (touching his face) disgrace? (psychotic look) that's right... I am disgraceful! everything on this poster is true... I really want to embrace my own sister... I must be very strange... must be a pervert... whether it's mother, or anyone else in the world... everyone despises me! they all tell me... mudou setsuna is crazy! you are going to hell!! kira (careless) : yes... your mother and everyone else are correct. your actions are obviously wrong. (setsuna in shock) setsuna! those who despises you never saw things from you point of view, all they know is to stand high above and place judgment and moral on your actions. but, you do really love sara? (setsuna freezes) then there's nothing to be done about it! your sorrow, your wounds, your pain and your tears, only you can understand them, no one else will be able to feel it. therefore, don't worry about what other people say! I knew you could only express your love in such a clumsy but straightforward way... even if this love is a mistake, it doesn't matter! text (setsuna crying, kira just stares at him) : the barrier broke! in this world, no one has every said anything like that to me... i... always... wished someone would tell me-- (setsuna crying, runs into kira, who embraces him, and just lets him cry) text : the unbreakable barrier is broken! setsuna : [as long as there's one person who doesn't despise me... one person who doesn't hate me... someone who still wants me to live... that's all!] (katou watches the whole scene from a window above) katou : [you... want to interfere again?] (his expression looks very scary, I suppose he's really mad at kira, also, he may look like katou, but his shadow projected on the ground is some long hair, angel wing guy who... let's just say is rociel. *kinda obvious there*) end of Crying Game, part 2 translator's note : ok, so I've never felt it's weirder in this chapter cuz sara repeats aniki and oniichan so many times, and all I can do it write "brother, brother, brother" it sounds so awkward... we don't call our brothers "brother" in english... oh well... I guess I have to live with it... top volume 02 section 03 Angel Sanctuary - Assiah Act II: Crying Game, Part 3 (kira looks up from where he's standing in the school yard, katou or should I say rociel is standing at one of the windows and returns his glance. seems like they are both in on something... meanwhile, kurai and arakune who just arrived in plain cloth/school uniform is staring at all the setsuna posters...) kurai (confused) : what the hell is this? when did things become so bad for the poor guy? arakune (trying to button his shirt) : yeah whatever, look at this shirt, it's so hard to put on! (use imagination) I still think I look better in a sailor outfit like sara's. but this is an all boy's school... (look around) it's all guys... (lots of hearts) kurai (annoyed) : that's why it's called a boys' school, now, go find setsuna! (BANG, runs into someone) kurai : hey! you moron! can't you see where you're going? (a really big guy picking kurai up by the shirt, kurai has a cat face, and sweatdrops) kurai : [uh~~~] dean : you got guts, freshman. how dare you dye your hair white? don't you know the rules? kurai : white hair~~~!? (furious) moron!! that's a natural born silver hair! [the shine of a platinum metal with a slight touch of silver!] arakune (smiling) : [I'll take care of this...] s... sorry, we just came back from hawaii yesterday, I think we were over tanned, so our hair color kind of faded... (point to kurai) he's a transfer student from brazil, he still doesn't know japanese too well. dean (sweatdrop) : [you look like a girl...] that's unusual... so the brazilians speak japanese with a kansai accent, huh? come to the dean's office! I'll have to teach you the correct japanese accent!! kurai (veins) : arakune! it didn't work! what did you mean by you'll take care of it! arakune : maybe I'll seduce him then. kurai (spots setsuna) : hey!! setsuna!! setsuna!! setsuna (turn around) : huh? kurai (cat, running toward setsuna) : setsuna--! dean : hey! don't run! setsuna (jump up, sweatdrop) : AHH! [i... it's them... I thought they went back!] (turn around and run) kurai (running after him) : setsuna, why are you running away? setsuna (still running) : then why are you chasing me? dean (chasing both and them, breathless) : this is what modern students are like? kurai (lost setsuna) : [it's all his fault] fuck! where the hell did he go? setsuna (in hiding, thinkin) : what the hell just happened? I thought they gave up on me! what a joke, I can't get involved with these guys! (sees kira walking outside) huh? [where is he going?] (in the school yard, kira facing katou who is obviously suffering) kira : hi! katou (painful) : uh... uhah!! ah--!! (vomits wires) ! uh!! (kira just stares at him, calm but serious) katou : uhah... uhuh... kira : didn't I tell you not to get pills from that weird guy again? katou, you shouldn't eat strange stuff easily! [it better not be a tapeworm.] katou (recovering a little) : ki... kira! it wasn't me!! that guy... (hanging on to kira) the guy who attacked setsuna wasn't me!! there's a strange and cold creature... he's living inside of me... p...please save me! kira : you're really a pain in the neck... rociel : heheh... this kid is really annoying... since he's use to taking pills, he still kept a little bit of his consciousness... (rips kira's shirt) kira : ! (the mark on his chest shows) rociel : hahah... that blood mark brings back memories... do you remember? when I gave you my blood... the power in my blood turned you into an undying entity... but its powers are getting weak... how about it? why don't you fight for me instead of alexiel this time? then I'll give more blood to you, two or three drops can last you forty to fifty years. actually... I like your old appearance better... so... you would agree... right? cooperate, and give that thing to me... kira : that thing... I don't have it anymore... I gave it to it's rightful owner-- setsuna, so you're just wasting your time, rociel! (rociel is furious, and turns back into the angel form) rociel : you gave it to him? are you crazy? you entrusted your most important security to someone else... and a human... you... you really care about him that much? setsuna (appears, looking for kira) : sempai... rociel (insane) : if so, I'll kill you right now, and then get that thing! setsuna : sempai... kira (notices setsuna approaching) : setsuna!! (kira's body explodes in front of setsuna, his blood spills on him) setsuna (shock) : sen... pai... (kira falls down, but setsuna just stands there) rociel : hahah kurai (watching from her hiding place) : hey! that guy that was just killed... arakune (shock) : wasn't he the one that I torn into pieces last time at the abandoned factory? kurai : that's right! (setsuna looks up from kira's dead body, crying, and very very mad) setsuna : damn you... [the smell of blood, my head is getting dizzy again...] kurai : se... kira (smiling, from setsuna's memory) : setsuna-- setsuna (holding his head) : [what is this? this... dazed feeling... what is it?] (he bit his tongue to keep consciousness, and the earrings on his left ear cracks into pieces) kira : [not yet... setsuna!] (setsuna rips off the stone kira gave him, which he's been wearing around his neck. the stone emits a strange glow, and inside it, the image of a sword can be faintly seen.) arakune : ! kurai (shielding her eyes from the light) : what the hell is that? rociel (jumps back) : hahah... it seems he really gave that thing to you... alexiel, sister... kurai : the pendent on the necklace... it must have belonged to alexiel! (the surrounding is all covered with smoke, and in the midst of all that fog, there's a sword. setsuna looks very serious, and he has angel's wings on his back, three of them, as he picks up the sword) kurai : [the magical sword... nanatsusaya mitamanotsurugi!! amazing! the incredible tension!! (the surrounding reacts to setsuna) all the elements are affected, painfully speaking the rage in his heart!! and those three wings... he really is... ALEXIEL!!] alexiel : rociel... I've told you before. stop searching for the image which mirrors your own. it will be your doom. (attack) you can never defeat me! rociel (jump back) : hahah! sister, is that really true? why don't you give it a shot! (alexiel/setsuna hold the nanatsusaya slashes rociel) kurai : ! (rociel falls back, but meanwhile, leaves katou's body. so katou is dying and rociel is fine) katou : ah! rociel (leaving) : hahah... sister, I tricked you! katou (dying) : uh uh... rociel : now even your human body has been stained with blood! you killed someone! hahahah! you will be exiled from both atziluth and assiah! I will make you understand the pain and humiliation I experienced, being sealed underground for so long! ahahahah! (disappear) [ahahahah!] katou : uh uh... no... I don't want to die... I don't... please save me... I don't... alexiel (holding on to katou) : I'll lead the way for you... can you see...? that light... the one who's been guarding you ever since you were born is waiting for you over there. go! don't wait any longer. don't believe in god or satan... only believe that light... believe in your own power, and walk there... katou (dying) : ah... ah... the light... so warm... ah... (close his eyes) (all the wires leave his body and gather again in that pill. the nanatsusaya smashes the pill) arakune : I don't believe it, she separated the drug from human flesh... alexiel purified him... how... kurai : [from the beginning, she killed him just to save him!] and only alexiel is capable of something like that... a... alexiel!! (runs up and hugs setsuna) alexiel!! alexiel : kid... I'm sorry... back then... if I killed rociel... kurai : you... you don't have to talk about that anymore! how could you have killed your only brother? alexiel : no... you're wrong... the truth was... back then... kurai (surprised) : alexiel... you're... setsuna : uh...! stop it! don't talk in my head!! (holding his head) kurai : ! setsuna : sword... pendant... (the sword returns to the pendant, and setsuna is on the ground, trying to recover...) kurai : ah... are you... setsuna? setsuna : yes!! was that... alexiel? she really exists inside of me... that woman, with such an incredible spiritual power... [is she really a woman?] it feels like all my strength is used up! [I can't feel any of her emotions... a frightening presence...] I was so mad back then... to the point where I couldn't control myself anymore... then I felt an energy at my chest... the earrings cracked... the dizziness disappeared, and all the power inside of me exploded. then... then... I was controlled by another conscience. kurai (picking up a piece of the broken earring) : ...... I see, this earring is like a shield. to prevent you from killing anyone, it makes you dizzy at the sight of blood. setsuna, the one who gave you the seal pendant for the sword, and the earrings... was it the same person? setsuna (shock) : ... yes... kurai : before at the abandoned factory, we also thought we killed that guy, but he's just like a never dying monster. it seems like our guesses are correct... look, setsuna! (setsuna turn around) setsuna (shock) : how is that possible? where are your wounds? senpai... (kira sitting there perfectly healthy with this cold expression on his face) then you're not...... human either? end of Crying Game, part 3 top volume 02 section 04 Angel Sanctuary - Assiah Act II: Crying Game, Part 4 setsuna : you just lost so much blood... your artery was cut... damn it... why... where are your wounds? kira (sitting up) : you saw all that? it's all because of this blood mark on my chest... everything is caused by its powers... it turned me into an undying soul. it's rociel's blood! in the last war, when rociel was injured by alexiel, his blood splashed on me. setsuna (hard to absorb all that) : then... then... senpai, you've always been lying to me? you're here... also because I am alexiel? kira : yes. that's what I've been planning all along without any human emotions. (setsuna is probably traumatized, and kira looks strange in that moment, finally setsuna punches him) setsuna : I won't forgive you! you pretended to be my friend, like a brother... you just wanted me to listen to you, all this time! those happy memories and the comforting words... and... the things you just said... it's all a lie? (kira staring back at him) everything... everything was only... because I am alexiel... right? (power surge) I am not an angel! kurai : setsuna, no! (everyone from the surrounding felt the power surge, a few mysterious people...) zaphkiel : has he awakened? (all the school windows crack, setsuna crying, running away) kurai : setsuna! w... wait! setsuna! (running after him) students : what was that wind? ouch! the wind cracked all the windows! (as the school busy over the explosion of energy, kira just sits there... looking a little sad) kira : it seems like only his power awakened, if he doesn't completely awaken, there will be frightening consequences! arakune : aren't you going after him? you're the one who hurt him. kira : so what? I just told the truth. arakune : then why... do you look so sad? (he does look sad...) and... last time at the abandoned factory, we didn't sense any life energy from you at all. you purposely allowed us to see you, and picked a fight to be killed! kira (that old smile) : nope... I meant everything I said, mr. hermaphrodite. arakune : ~~~~~ [how rude!] I know you're not human, but... if that's rociel's blood... perhaps it wasn't splashed on you, but that he gave it to you... what proves that you're not an enemy? kira (carelessly) : do I look like an angel? arakune : [I think you're more like a devil. (he's so right... ^_^)] don't underestimate me... I can only sense the power of regeneration on you, I know you don't have any other tricks! (ready to attack) kira (take out a knife, smile) : you wanna bet? arakune : ! (he slashes that blood mark on his chest, and through the blood that sprays out, a sword appears.) arakune : what...? (kira holding the sword, he looks really cool, by the way, it's katana) arakune : [using rociel's blood as a medium... a summoned sword?] (kira attacks arakune, he pushes him to the fence, and the sword up at his neck...) kira (scary) : you said... full of sorrow? don't make me laugh... I lost my body in that war. but rociel's blood made me an indestructible entity. about ten years ago, someone named kira sakuya died and I took his body. in order words, I'm an evil spirit. I've killed thousands of innocent people without any emotions in the past. other than alexiel, everyone feared and hated me, they cursed me! someone like me... am I even capable of human emotions? fool. arakune : then... why didn't you kill me? (moving the sword away) that's a human emotion, you've lived with this body for more than ten years now, you've became human... right? you're just afraid to admit it! and the only who gave you such emotions is not alexiel, but that human named mudou setsuna... if my guesses are correct... kira (withdraw sword) : get lost... (turn his back) hermaphrodite! arakune : heh-- foolish man, you can't even understand yourself. I'm not interested in your type. (kira sees katou's body, he digs a grave for him, and drops a matchbox in the grave.) kira (with a shovel) : sorry to bury you in a place like this... (smirk) [setsuna...] setsuna (on the phone) : hey... I'm mr. mudou's son... please tell me where I can reach him... operator : oh! executive director mudou is on vacation starting yesterday, he's probably somewhere in kyooto.... please wait a moment... hey, it's mr. mudou's son... then it must be true... he's with her... or else they wouldn't be taking the same vacation time... sorry to keep you waiting... huh? he hung up. (setsuna slams the phone, and he's very angry) setsuna (walking away from the phone booth) : damn it... fuck! (a street light above him pops) woman : what just happened? man : I don't know... kurai (running) : setsuna! setsuna : shut up! don't follow me around! kurai : what the hell! setsuna, you idiot! I know that pain when someone's all alone! setsuna : now you're pitying me? forget it! for you, alexiel is probably much more important! all you can see from me is alexiel! she is not me! and who am I? no one'll cry even if I drop dead! kurai (sad) : i... i... I'm only... (car heading right for her) setsuna (turn around) : kurai! (raziel standing among the bystanders, setsuna jumps over kurai and with one hand pushes the car flying into the air.) driver : ahhhh? bystander : are you all right? kurai : se... tsu... na...? just now... what that you using the energy? (setsuna still dazed) setsuna : idiot! (in kurai's face) how come you're a girl? you can't even protect yourself, why do you still want to start a war? (serious/alexiel?) girls need to be protected to become more beautiful and sweet, don't pretend to be a boy anymore. go find a guy who can protect you. i... i... I can't... protect her anymore... kurai : [s...] setsuna : sara! (embrace kurai) kurai (crying) : [setsuna!] (he shuts his eyes and runs away) setsuna! alexiel (flashback) : girls need to be protected to become more beautiful and sweet. [I know because I'm a woman...] kurai : [he said the same thing as alexiel... but... when alexiel told me that, I felt so warm and happy... why is it so painful when he said that? why is it so painful... setsuna...] raziel : amazing... such frightening energy! that must be him! if so... then HE should be near by too. setsuna (alone) : [I use to always come here with sara and play in this abandoned apartment building, it was our amusement park... we're not children anymore, but we're not adults either...] sara : [brother, let's leave together!] setsuna : [i... I won't see sara again. (holding a knife) I can't go to school either. mother... father... senpai... they're all gone.] text : no one needs mudou setsuna... no one needs me! watch! this is the result of knowing the truth! setsuna : [there's no one with me anymore. (staring at the knife) who cares. (place the knife on his wrist) just... leave them be... (about to cut) text : the death of mudou setsuna marks the destruction of tokyo! soon, this world will meet its doom... (bloody earth... and... SPLASH... *^_^ hahaha... continue reading the next chapter and find out...*) end of Crying Game, part 4 top volume 02 section 05 Angel Sanctuary - Assiah Act II: Crying Game, Part 5 (setsuna's sitting there, with a knife on his wrist, about to cut himself, and then there's SPLASH, the knife is wet, his hands are wet, he looks up, his whole face is wet.) setsuna : [huh?] zaphkiel : such a cowardly act... setsuna (sweatdrop) : uh... (suddenly jump up *ahahahaha*) WAHHHHH! where did the hot water come from? (apparently his whole body is wet... and steaming too... and someone is holding a cup) zaphkiel (the priest) : I believe it may be a little too hot, that was my tea. setsuna (almost hysterical...) : [huh?] what's going on? why are you here? zaphkiel (handing him a towel) : don't worry about it, dry yourself first. I think I got you in the face. setsuna : [huh? this guy...] zaphkiel (smile) : take it. setsuna : [he's blind? but that voice... it felt like a knife stabbed me, so frightening...] (taking the towel) strange guy... [or was that just me?] zaphkiel (it's raining outside) : the rain is getting annoying. humans caused acid rain, it's almost like they want to destroy this desert world they created... or perhaps they want to drown everything there it... including their inner secrets... setsuna : [he sounds like some divine being...] who... are you? text (very small font) : don't wanna die anymore. zaphkiel (smile) : I'm only a priest who's seeking cover from the rain. I thought the weather was going to be nice today, so I brought my favorite japanese tea and went for a walk in the park, of course, then it started pouring. setsuna : [weird guy...] zaphkiel (pour tea) : here! have some tea. setsuna : it looks like your eyes can't see. then how did you know I was about to commit suicide? zaphkiel (why does he wear glasses?) : even though my eyes can't see, I'm still very sensitive. just now... I guess it was my sixth sense... I felt the air in the surrounding getting heavy, the sense of death all around me, it made me very uncomfortable... oh, from your voice, you seem to be only a kid... unrequited love story? setsuna (annoyed) : ... no way! just that... I hate everything in this world... I guess I deserved this for falling in love with someone I'm not suppose to... zaphkiel : oh... recently I've been getting a lot of those confessions. are you a homo? [class president?] setsuna (fist, vein, and shaking all over) : NO! zaphkiel (drink tea) : you're such a coward, just because you're afraid of the world's judgment, because you can't stand their criticism, you're only choice was to commit suicide? you're despicable... you're probably used to avoiding the truth. setsuna (mad) : sh... shut up! (knock off zaphkiel's glasses) what the hell do you know? do you think I should endure this pain any longer? (grab his shirt) you want me to struggle in vain as everyone mock me and despise me? zaphkiel : that's right. it doesn't matter, even when it's more painful than death! (setsuna shocked) no matter how painful it is, you can't run away, you must stand up again and again. and then, you will become stronger. you feel lonely because everyone around you are all trapped in their own pain, when you become stronger, you will understand... you're not alone... live your life the way you want to and ultimately you will defeat your chosen fate. finally, look back and smile. you can do it. setsuna (lets go of his shirt) : what the hell! you stupid priest, you don't even know me! what can you possibly now. (ok, it's established that he's hysterical) zaphkiel : I can see it... (he just has this divine look) your radiance, the light of angel's wings. it's like adam kadmon! you probably don't know him. he has six wings, a brilliant radiance, and he's genderless. he was the most important existence that god created in ancient times. he roams between a saint and demon, as the master of both black and white magic... I've seen him once, his beauty surpasses any words.... setsuna : [he's... talking about that angel who appeared in the abandoned factory?] zaphkiel : I lost my vision under his blinding light. setsuna : [huh?] zaphkiel (opening his shirt collar) : ever since, I've been looking for him... it's been a very long time... can you guess why? I want to make the one who stole my vision meet the same ends! (he looks so scary in this picture... anyway... there's a long, wide, deep scar around his neck) it's the only purpose that I live for! setsuna (shock) : ! (lighting, and rain, in another part of the city, rociel is standing on top of a tall building looking down on tokyo) rociel : hahaha! more! spirits of water! punish the earth and its humans with your rage! yes... just a little more! wash away everything! kirie : rociel sama, archangel ST trainee kirie reporting. rociel sama! rociel (careless) : kirie... long time no see. it's been a while, you've grown prettier. kirie : I'm honored! but no matter what, I will never be able to rival rociel sama's beauty! rociel : heheh... come here! (kirie is half dreamy as rociel kisses her, katan comes in and is surprised to see that, he turns around and leaves in silence but rociel spots him) rociel : wait, katan! I need to talk to you. I think even the war-plagued heaven has noticed the changes on earth. I had to make kirie inform me on this. kirie : the kekkai you created around assiah to avoid any interference from heaven has been destroyed. katan, you should know very well what this means... others of your rank or higher, have already come down to earth. I don't know what has occupied you to lead to such carelessness, but it is certain that news of rociel sama's return will reach heaven any time now. and as for what you've done, sacrificing many innocent people in order to unseal rociel sama through your "angel sanctuary" plan... if the High Committee of Seraphim hears about this, you'll be trialed. so, just leave this place to me... katan, you can return to your usual duties in heaven now. katan : ! rociel... what is this... rociel : I think you heard her, she will replace you as my assistant on earth. as least in assiah, she's your superior... (kiss kirie) you must follow kirie's orders. you don't really want your absence to be noticed either, right? kirie is only a student, so there won't be any problems. katan : I've left an astral image as a camouflage up there, there's no interference with everyday life. rociel (embrace kirie) : you still don't understand, do you? why are you always so disobedient? I don't need such defiant subordinates... I don't need you anymore... katan! (kirie smiles) katan (stares back at rociel) : [rociel!] (the room in frozen in silence, katan just stares at rociel and kirie. and it's still raining very hard outside) setsuna : make him... meet the same end as you... what does that mean? [this guy... that adam whatever angel guy made him lose his vision, and his throat was slashed... almost killed?] (zaphkiel has a mysterious smile and then... *hahahah o_O* you know one of those cheerleading japanese fans? anyway, all there is left is setsuna's foot in the air...) zaphkiel (fan) : just kidding! whatever... [hahahaha] that wound was from an old accident. isn't it scary? (point to his neck) everybody falls for that. setsuna (sweatdrop, vein) : [I'm gonna kill you...!!] zaphkiel : I just wanted him to show me that miracle again. [oh, found my glasses! (pick up)] the scene that I saw the instant I lost my vision... [angels led by adam kadmon follow his radiance and brings light to the darkness of earth... the people of assiah slowly awaken...] was that the foam of illusion, or in the recent past... [the land was alive... there were no wars or boundaries, no praise or curse, no heaven and no hell... where the children ran and lovers embraced...] in that... dream-like, beautiful eden! setsuna : ... (he takes out his knife and lift it but he stops right by zaphkiel's face, zaphkiel has no reaction.) zaphkiel : what's wrong? you are quiet all of a sudden. setsuna : [he really can't see? he didn't blink once, those lifeless eyes... for a moment, I thought he was another one of those... weird angels.] no... it's only a dream. it's only a dream... (turn around) zaphkiel (smile) : perhaps! even if it is a dream, I believe in it. no matter how foolish others say it is. decide on your own, whether I'm a friend or an enemy... mudou setsuna, we will meet again! (setsuna SHOCK, turns around, all the tea and cups are still there but zaphkiel is gone.) text : live your life... the way you want to. you're definitely... not alone! (setsuna just stands there holding that towel, meanwhile at sara's school) sara : huh? you want me to go see ruri? teacher : yes, she's been absent from school for a while now, you're her friend... sara, you're transferring soon, go see her a last time. sara : [ruri...] you want me... to go... (on the street, kurai spots sara walking alone) kurai : [isn't that mudou sara?] sara : ruri... [the gentle ruri, shy, who always hides behind me. I saw her change with my own eyes... if ruri really died like that angel said last time... why doesn't her parents sense anything? maybe...] mrs. saiki : oh! sara, long time no see! are you here to see ruri? I'm so glad. sara : uh... yeah... [huh? auntie acts very normal. ... then that means ruri is home? or is she lying?] mrs. saiki : please come, ruri always locks herself in her room with the computer, we don't know what to do! (smile, open door) her father forced the door open... she wouldn't let go of him anymore! (dark smile) I think she's too lonely to leave him... (the whole room is infested with wires, a dead man sitting in front of the computer, wrapped in wires. sara screams. somewhere else, zaphkiel turns around alarmed by something he senses. raziel arrives in his wings.) zaphkiel : ! (raziel lands, looking very majestic... heheh) [such a ferocious aura, it must be...] ra... raziel, what are you doing here... raziel : ZAPHKIEL SAMA! (I can tell he's very pissed) If the high committee of seraphim finds out that you came to earth without permission, even if it's you, zaphkiel sama, you'll still be punished!!! zaphkiel (covering his ears) : [uh, you're still so energetic!!] (laugh, sweatdrop) raziel : they would tear you into pieces! zaphkiel : it must be painful to be torn into pieces, (pondering) I prefer being waxed. raziel (vein, fist ready) : hn---!! zaphkiel (step back) : [I can't see, but I can tell you're really pissed.] (sweatdrop) well, at least I have some good news. (serious) I finally found adam kadmon, it would be really bad if died because of some insignificant things. raziel, we'll be very busy from now on... (BIG SMILE) so we better go to tokyo disneyland right now! text : tokyo disneyland is in urayasu! raziel (many many sweatdrops) : zaphkiel sama... [are you really one of the seven archangels?] (need support) zaphkiel : [raziel, what are you doing? urayasu is very far from here!] text : yes... raziel (sweatdrop) : [why are we taking the bus? we have wings!! (more sweatdrop)] text : the real pain... has just begun... (zaphkiel for a moment looked very serious) punk A : hey, all the places are muddy after the rain. punk B : uh, this school is messed up! (of course, after setsuna's energy exploded.) punk A : gee, youji and katou are both acting strange... what's wrong? punk B (smoking) : they just suddenly changed, and then disappeared soon. punk A (sweating) : hey! over there... (spots something) punk B : ah! isn't that... punk A : a hand? (since the mud was washed away after the rain, there's a part of a hand uncovered. I believe it belongs to katou...) end of Crying Game, part 5 top volume 02 section 06 Angel Sanctuary - Assiah Act II: Crying Game, Part 6 (katou's body has been found and dug up, the area is surrounded by policemen) coroner : it seems like he died just recently... if it wasn't for the rain yesterday, we couldn't have discovered him so quickly. police A : perhaps his soul summoned the storm... and prayed that someone would find him? police B : hey! stop talking nonsense! police A : still, do you think this has something to do with all the broken windows in this school? police B : don't jump to conclusions. coroner : look at his wound, it's very strangely clear cut. as if some skilled sword master slashed him with a japanese sword. (sara is trapped in ruri's room, and ruri's wires are waving around) ruri : [hate... I hate you. I want to kill you! die! mudou sara!] sara (scared) : ru... ruri? (screaming) you... you're telling me... this computer is ruri? mrs. saiki (walking toward the wires) : oh... ruri... are you suffering? are you lonely? you're so spoiled... mother is coming. sara : no! auntie! mrs. saiki (wrapped up in wires, extend a hand) : come, join us! sara... (the wires completely squash her... think of a big big anaconda... blood sprays on sara's face) sara : stop it! (kurai's outside the building, since she followed sara all the way) kurai : ! (spots kirie on another roof top) [an angel?] kirie (smile) : mudou sara, I'm sorry to have frightened you... I have no choice... (cruel smile) my order was to make you suffer, and then kill you. ruri : [sara... mudou sara! hate! I hate you... we had a deal, but you betrayed me! (attack) make you suffer, and then kill you!] sara (struggle) : no! ruri, stop it! kurai : that girl... really wants to kill her! (she wants to run up and help, but something made her suddenly stop) kurai : [if sara dies right now... then the one interference who makes setsuna suffer in love would also disappear, then setsuna would be free from any bondage. if that girl dies... setsuna... setsuna!] sara : ruri, you... do you really hate me so much? (sad) everything that I heard in the abandoned factory was true? do you really hate me? (seems like she got her answer) then... fine! ruri, please kill me. if I can sacrifice this empty shell to save you, then kill me. it... it's the only thing I can do for you. [fine, I'll be with you. (embrace the wires) really, because when you're lonely, you can't do anything. ruri...] ruri (regaining a little conscious) : ... sara? kirie : w... why? why are you hesitating? don't you feel the rage and hatred? do it! kill her, for rociel sama! sara (crying) : ruri... can you hear me? kirie : hn. I have to do everything myself! mudou sara! (energy blast toward ruri's room) kurai : sa... sara! damn you! (kirie turn around surprised) you're a monster in an angel's disguise! (fireball blast, kirie screams) [don't hesitate anymore, kurai! if sara dies, setsuna's soul will never awaken!] kirie (burnt) : huh... it's not any ordinary flame, it seems like the inferno of limbo. but that's not possible! the dragon flame master of Gehenna should've been eliminated... kurai (someone approaches) : ! what? [she escapse! somebody helped her...] get out of there, sara! (the building explodes from kirie's attack) ruri (smile) : are you alright? sara. (her wires covered sara during the explosion) sara (surprise) : did you save me? how did you change into this? you... you can recognize me now? ruri? ruri : oh, sara, I've finally been released from this horrible body, I'm free. tell you the truth, sara, you're my best friend. text (sara crying) : till now...and forever, you're my best friend. (happily embrace each other) ruri : that's the truth, believe me! sa... ra... (fades) kurai (approach) : she gave up her life to save you. sara : ! oh, I think I've seen you once before. are you also related to these strange events? (wipe her tears away) kurai : you're very brave... strange... aren't you scared? even though she was your best friend, after she turned into that thing, you stilled walked toward her fealessly... sara : I'm not scared... no matter what she turns into. she will always be my most treasured friend. I'm glad that in my last days, I can hear the truth from ruri. really... kurai : last days? sara : I'll be leaving with my mother for england. kurai : ENGLAND? [where's that?] then are you planning to ditch setsuna? why so suddenly... sara : I'm getting married. kurai : what did you say? (total shock) sara : brother doesn't know yet, after I finish school here, I'll be having the wedding ceremony. (crying but smiling) I heard he's son of a businessman, I've never met him... but mother likes him. She is very determined to separate me from brother. kurai : no... you can't do that! setsuna loves you so much! and would you be happy? sara : happy? I will never be happy for the rest of my life. I can never love anyone other than my brother. kurai : is that alright? do you want to lie to yourself for the rest of your life? coward! if you give up then... i... i... (scream) I'm going to take setsuna away from you! you better remember that. (runs away) sara : [but... I really have no choice... there's nowhere to go... my paths are surrounded by wired fences... my love has no future, this is the only way! (falls down crying) it's an unforgivable sin!] (elsewhere, katan and kirie barely escaped kurai's blast) katan : that was close, kirie. she's probably one of the two demons who blew up the Mid-Air Corridor and stole Crystal Angel. mudou setsuna is surrounded by mysterious people, it's very dangerous. and you're only an inexperienced trainee. kirie (glare) : don't interfere! I could've escaped back then on my own! I was always a top student up there, that's why rociel sama entrusts me with these missions! are you only jealous because I have rociel sama's affections? katan! admit it! (fly away) I'm leaving! katan : kirie! [no, she's too young! could it be... rociel sent her on purpose...] (police cars parked outside setsuna's school) student A : hey look! all these cops! student B : I heard that senior's body they found already started to rot. student C : impossible! he's only been dead for one day! student D : after all the windows broke last time, do you think maybe this school is curse? student E : I heard that senior's name is katou... student F : that long hair guy! the day before he disappeared, he had a brawl with setsuna in the lunch room! student G : oh, that guy! student H : setsuna... he hasn't showed up after that! student I : you're right! that super moron... [ahahahah!] (okazaki watches in contempt, but says nothing, and then setsuna walks in with a big smile) setsuna : who are you calling a super moron? that was very rude to mudou setsuna! students : ! okazaki : se... setsuna! setsuna : [hi!] morning everyone! (he sees his desk and his chair is all wet, and there's a mop on his desk) punk (one of the guys that found katou, I think) : hahah! it rained last night! didn't anyone clean up for you? having one weirdo in class gets contagious after a while, why don't you drop by the nurses' office? or maybe you wanna wipe the desk with your face? [ah!] (setsuna grabs him) ! (setsuna pins his head on the desk and wipe, wipe, wipe) setsuna : [good idea!] punk : AH-- setsuna (let go afterwards) : oh! sorry, cuz your face was so dirty, I thought it was a rag! punk : fuck! (punch) you got your ass kicked yesterday and even cried, right? (setsuna grabs the mop stick, and at that moment he looked really dangerous) punk : AH! kira : [control yourself, you're not a kid anymore!] (setsuna remember what kira said, and freezes the stick at that guy's neck) setsuna : you got a problem with me, I'll be glad to hear it! if you wanna pick a fight, then I'll go one on one, but first... think it over, or I'll really break your jaw next time. punk : f... fuck! friends : [pathetic.] punk (pale) : we'll see how long you can keep this up, nobody's ever gonna talk to you again! setsuna (fix his desk) : [heh...] okazaki : why don't you be quiet? (help setsuna) you sound like an elementary school kid! punk : fuck you! student (hand a book to setsuna) : hey, you dropped this, setsuna. (setsuna pause for a moment, and blushes) punk (and his friends, watching on the other side) : hm... (setsuna talks and laughs with his friends, ignoring all the posters on the wall) setsuna : anyway, I'm not making any useless efforts! I'm not tearing up the posters on the walls, I don't care how people laugh at me, I won't hide my feelings for sara anymore... I won't force myself to forget her, ever! it's all pointless. I'll try my best to live my life! (teacher questioning him about the posters, but he's so careless, right now, he's sitting outside with okazaki) okazaki : then... you really love sara? setsuna (an angel sweet smile) : hn! okazaki (embarrassed, probably don't know what to say) : [uh... so... then... that can't be helped. (sweatdrop)] but... isn't sara's leaving soon? didn't you know? setsuna : that's alright. I'll only make her suffer if she stays with me. and maybe one day, I can't control myself... so, I just want her to be happy. on the other hand, when I can't stand it anymore, I'll just cry it off, that's all. okazaki (smile) : really? I knew it, you're not one of those easily depressed people. I remember when I first saw you... (setsuna walks into class in a formal school uniform) I thought you were a quiet and anti-social patrician kid. (laugh) you turned out to be completely the opposite, that was so funny! [ahahah] (slap) setsuna : you wanna fight? okazaki : you're clumsy and straightforward, you say anything on your mind so you always get in trouble. you're also shameless, and very competitive. when others feel bad, you'll sit by their side quietly, and you have amazing determination and will, I'll compare your spirit to a weed. (smile) mudou setsuna is indestructible! I just knew you would recover! setsuna (first shocked, then smiles) : hahah... was that a compliment? text (with a huge pic of zaphkiel) : live your life the way you want to... you're not alone in this world... setsuna : [why? the situation didn't improve, but I found out that I do have friends who care about me. with their support, I have the courage to continue living.] (at the police station, an officer is questioning one of katou's friends who found the body.) punk B : I don't know! I don't believe that's katou's body, and I have no motive to kill my friend! officer : we still need to have a thorough investigation. when was the last time you saw him? punk B : yesterday, after he got into a fight in the lunch room... (suddenly) of course! it must be him! officer : who is he? punk B : that's him! mudou setsuna! he must have killed katou! end of Crying Game, part 6 top :: volume 01 :: volume 03 ::
