It was good... Everyone was enjoying it... That doll... is modeled after Nina, isn't it? Nina told me... that you would be here. - Page 144 - [Sankt Ulrich Hospital, Frankfurt, 6 days before] Nina: Please, open... the curtains... Tenma: Sure... Nina: How long... have I been here like this...? - Page 145 - Tenma: Don't worry about it... You could still use some more rest... Nina: Thank you... I could tell you were watching out for me, somehow... Don't worry... I'm fine now... I'm not thinking of dying... Tenma: Dr. Reichwein and Dieter should be here soon. - Page 146 - Nina: And you...? Tenma: I have to go... Nina: Where...? Tenma: Well... Nina: You were researching lots of materials you found, weren't you...? Did you learn anything...? I'll be fine, you can tell me... Tenma: I had some members of Prague's former secret police... and some of General Wolf's men track down as much info as they could... Nina: About Franz Bonaparta...? Tenma: Yes... He's a very mysterious man, but I managed to piece together a bit of a profile on him. - Page 147 - Tenma: A German-born Czech, it appears that the name Franz Bonaparta is also an alias... After WWII, when most German-born Czechs were chased from their homeland of Bohemia, his family remained... It's unclear what kind of role he served in the communist Czechoslovakian government... I discovered that he was once married to a Czech woman and had a son... And that son was actually one of the pupils in the very first "reading seminar" tests... that were held in the mid-60's. "Bonaparta's son lives in Prague"... Capek's last words to me were, I believe, referring to this same son... - Page 148 - Tenma: This is a copy of an old photograph... That I found of the first round of pupils in the 60's seminars. This boy on the far left was... Nina: "not a superior child"... Tenma: Huh...? Nina: He was kicked out of the seminar for not being a "superior child." Tenma: You know about this? - Page 149 - Nina: He was an "unwanted child"... to Bonaparta... I'm pretty sure that son is the man I know in Prague... Tenma: Does he himself... know where his father is? Nina: I don't know... But, his one clue... We have to hurry... Before something terrible happens... Tenma: Something terrible...? - Page 150 - Nina: I can tell... What Johan's about to attempt... Tenma: What is it...? Nina: The perfect suicide... True solitude... The only expression of love... - Page 151 - Nina: If we don't hurry... Many innocent people will die... Door: (knock knock) (creak) Reichwein: Nina... I'm so glad you're safe, Nina... - Page 152 - Dieter: Hey... Tenma was here, wasn't he?! Tenma was just in this room, wasn't he?! Where is he? Huh? Where's Tenma?! Nina: Dieter... Dieter: Tenma!! Reichwein: Dieter!! Dieter: Tenma!! TENMAAA!! - Page 153 - Dieter: Please... Stay with me!! Let's be together again, Tenma!! Please... - Page 154 - <
