♪ BGM: Extra-Sensory Perception

It's been two months now since we've been here. Pattern recognition says that we should be coming back to this screen a month from now, but I question that pattern repeating.



So this time around, we've fully completed Route Before, with endings, friendship scenes, and CGs...



...and move on to Route Current.



♪ BGM: Silence ♫

We once again start with a Bible quote. I know what this refers to! I don't think we even work out what this could be referring to during this route, though.



--The blood poured endlessly. From his side. His left arm. His right leg.



He ran to get away from that man-- and to defeat him. And at the end of his flight, Natsuhiko's feet brought him--



♪ BGM: Ominous Ambience ♫

And then a gunshot shrieked from behind.

Gah...!

♪ BGM: Pose the Question to this World

Natsuhiko fell, pain burning through his left arm.



--So this is where you die?

Natsuhiko didn't even have the energy to respond. Eventually, the man parted with these words:

...After you comes the girl.
(--!?)

Natsuhiko stood up with all his might to put an end to the man‘s wicked deeds.

Waaaaggghhh!



♪ BGM: The Brave Decision

There was but one thing Natsuhiko needed to do: use his ability to destroy the man's mind. So he focused with all his mind. All his spirit.







♪ BGM: The Truth is Revealed



His face rapidly froze over--

Aah... aah... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

--And he ran for his life.

Wait! ...Guh!

Natsuhiko tried to pursue the man, but staggered, slammed his back against a tower, and collapsed on the spot. Blood streamed out from his entire body. He could feel his mortal flame fading. But to protect his beloved hometown and the people precious to him who lived within--





--He mustered the last of his strength to destroy every last memory that composed the man's mind.

Ga... agh...!

And as the man fell, Natsuhiko's consciousness rapidly faded away--



♪ BGM: Silence ♫

----
--



''Awake'', a voice called to him. Or perhaps it was merely a memory of such a voice. He heard that voice as he lay beneath the whitewashed tomb... And then time began to move.
