Somebody jumped in front of the train!! Hurry, someone!! W... what happened?! A jumper!! The trains are stopped?! Aw, dammit! Why does it have to be during the rush hours?! Sign: Ticket Machines - Page 160 - Conductor: Y... yes, but we don't have everything restored to working order yet...!! Man: I simply can't be late today! What are you doing?! Conductor: A-as I said, sir, you can use the buses at the south entrance...!! Girl: There's already huge lines for the buses, we won't be able to get on!! I have tests today!! Why can't you help?! Men: Ahh, goddamnit!! Think I can catch a taxi?! Girl: Ugggh, this sucks... Guy: Crap... I gotta test, too. Oh well, guess I'll have to ride my bike... - Page 161 - Guy: You wanna ride with... Nahhh. Girl: I have my own bike outside the station. - Page 162 - Girl: Oh nooooo. Give me a break!! (gasha)(gasha) (gasha gasha) Ah... thank you. Guy: My bike fell down, too... Girl: Uh... Guy: Which one's yours? (gasha gasha) - Page 163 - Girl: Um... that one. Guy: Did you make it to your test in time? (gasha gasha) Girl: Kind of... I was 20 minutes late. Guy: I also "kind of" made it in time... (gasha gasha) But I couldn't get any good guesses and I could hardly answer any of the questions. Felt like it wouldn't have made a difference if I'd been there from the start. Girl: Me too. Guy: Seriously? Both: HAHAHAHA! Guy: Here you go. Girl: Thank you. Guy: I suppose you wouldn't want to... ...get some tea or something. - Page 164 - Girl: Sure. Guy: Seriously? Girl: Just for a bit. My father is so annoying when I'm late coming home... Guy: Let's get some hamburgers, then!! Manjoume: Do you think it will go as well as this manual says? Guy: Of course. Manjoume: Even if it's not you that does it? Guy: Charming a woman is a simple task. - Page 165 - Manjoume: Do you think "Friend" could do it as well? Guy: I'm sure "Friend" could do it much better than me. Plus, the woman in question is grieving the loss of a man she loved. She'll go down quick. Becoming a true "Friend" will be much harder. Manjoume: Have you become able to feel as one with the cosmos yet? Guy: Well... all I can feel is the greatness of "Friend", hard as I try. - Page 166 - Manjoume: And "Friend" values your work greatly. Guy: I'm glad... Making "Friend" happy is most important to me. Manjoume: Well, you've done good. Guy: Thanks... Manjoume: I take it you weren't seen on that train platform... Guy: I only gave him a little push on the back. Manjoume: Not an easy thing to do, for "Friend's" sake or not. Guy: It was my dream, as a child. To be an assassin... I always found those justice-defending heroes in manga and on TV to be so stupid... - Page 167 - Guy: The villains were always so much cooler. Manjoume: But the villains in drama shows usually end up on the losing side. Guy: This isn't a drama. This is real life. Girl: Ah... I'm sorry... I have to go... - Page 168 - Guy: Your dad'll yell at you...? Girl: Yeah... Guy: What does your dad do? Girl: It's so dumb, I don't wanna say. Guy: What is it? Girl: Sometimes he shows up on public educational TV... I suppose you wouldn't know Professor Shikishima... Guy: Shikishima... nope, I never watch edu-TV. What does he research? Girl: Robot construction. - Page 169 - Noises: (zuuun zuuun) (bzzt bzzt bzzt) - Page 170 - Dispatchers: U... UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT MOVING IN THE SHINJUKU DISTRICT!!
