BGM: Hopelessness



See,
these pretty......flames......

Huhu......they're burning so much, so pretty......
Isn't this the same as ten years ago......?

That's right...... it's the same......
Yes...... it is the same, the same...

Hey, Gii......?
There was... a much... simpler way.

覧He's showing me a smile.

Salem was still standing among the spreading flames,
among the pieces of rubble falling from the ceiling, broken down by sudden exposure to extreme heat.



Gii called his name and held out his hand.
However, he refused to come out of the sea of flame.

Aaah...... that's... right......

I should've done this......
a long time ago......
then I could've returned......

I wouldn't even have had......
to kill...... those children......

Hey, Gii. Won't you laugh for me?
I've... made quite...... the detour......

[Gii] Salem......!
What are you doing?
Come this way, hurry!



I'm... going home now.
This way, I'll go back to where I was ten years ago.
You be sure to get that girl out of here.

Goodbye, Gii.
l didn't hate you.





He screamed his friend's name,
but his voice was wiped out by the crumbling rock.

The flames leaped.
His vision was slowly stained vermillion.

Gii's extended hand wouldn't reach him.
His friend disappeared,
along with the form of dancing madness.





That which he'd always seen, he saw no more.
For some reason, his memories now felt less disturbing.

Memories of the past.
He couldn't remember them very well, since they were all broken up into little pieces.

Memory.
A deep moan full of screams and despair.

Memory.
He'd been haughty, thinking that his hand could save them. He'd been so sure that holding it out could save someone.

Memory.
Ten years ago within that rubble...
that little girl...



覧Aaah...
覧I can hear a voice asking.

It couldn't be answered.
It couldn't be answered.
That was why, right now, he tightly gripped the little hand in his arms.

He pulled the girl's hand and covered her with his body, protecting her from the falling rubble with his back and steel arms.

覧Things I couldn't do ten years ago.
覧Now, I can...

Could this hand of his complete those tasks?
No, it couldn't.

覧Now that I think about it, ten years have passed.
覧And now, here I am.

BGM: Destiny Go Round



The gray clouds which covered up the first sun.
Now, the sunlight hidden behind them informed him of morning's arrival.

Not at the edge of his vision, not anywhere.
The dancing black clown was no more.



It was reaching out, trying to grab onto something, but then was warped, exposed to flame, and blackened.

That hand was perfectly straight,
not moving a muscle.



......aaah...
......I see, these are...my...

It took him three seconds to understand.
They were his tears.
From within the rubble, he looked up at the sky...

...and let his tears flow down.

「......why?」

Someone's voice覧

BGM: Girl Grins



「......Gii, why?」

覧Gii...
覧Why?

He raised his head, and there was the girl, in black clothes, with a horribly sad face.

She was holding her hand out to him, to Gil, who looked up from within the rubble.

覧That girl.

覧Her name is...yes, Kia.

覧A beautiful pink.
覧Those went well with the gray sky.

Those pink eyes were gazing intently at him.
Her lips...moved...



覧Why?覧

「Did you save me?」

「Why, Gii? Why......?」

覧I don't know.
覧Why do I keep doing this?

覧Why won't my hand reach?
覧Why are my tears still flowing?

He clung to the girl's hand.
Gii let one final teardrop fall down his cheek.



「Why......?」
