Schroeder: ……
Misaki: Professor Schroeder…what's this?
Schroeder: A "contact-type anti-Gate particle irradiation device, for use against contractors."
Though it's still in the trial phase.
Misaki: …An anti-Gate particle irradiation device…
------------
!!! page 04
Schroeder: If you use it, you can destroy what makes contractors contractors.
Though its use is one-time only.
If we can make the output just a bit bigger, we should be able to make contractors extinct, but…
……Well, it's best to think of it as a tiny Saturn Ring.
Misaki: Really…
…So why are you giving it to me, Professor?
Did you bring me into Pandora to show it to me?
Schroeder: Things made should certainly be used.
Though to tell the truth, Sergei-kun was the one who started to make this.
I completed it at his request.
Misaki: !
Professor Sergei?
FX: Laughing
Schroeder: Thanks to him, I came up with a lot of new ideas.
Next time I'll try to make my own original too.
------------

Schroeder: Something easy to use, with more power.
More like the ultimate laser gun…
Misaki: Do you know where Professor Sergei is?
FX: Chair scraping
Schroeder: Huh?
I don't know.
The last time I saw him was when you came to Pandora and crossed paths with him.
Misaki: …I see……
Schroeder: Huh?
Didn't he say that he planned to cooperate with you too?
Misaki: Yes…
That's true, but…
Schroeder: He asked me to bring this to you.
…Though word from him has become scant.
Misaki: ……Why did Professor Sergei give this to me…
……Is it to defeat Harvest?
Schroeder: No, that's not it.
Since this requires direct contact at zero distance, you'd be touched by him and turned into powder instantaneously.

Schroeder: It may be a cure for the black dandelion.
To remove the contractor detritus from the body.
Misaki: !
……The contractor detritus?
Schroeder: Didn't you hear it from Mina-kun?
That the black dandelion was actually the result of becoming a contractor?
It was her interpretation that the situation was such that it only left a contractor's ability, but I disagree.
For the contractor to disappear and only the ability to be left behind is absolutely impossible.
Perhaps the black dandelion is a contractor's true form.
Since they paid some sort of price,
It's appropriate to think that they turned into that form.

Schroeder: Though we didn't find it, the inside of the gate will become true as well…
Well, however, why that happens is something we still don't understand.
Misaki: ……

Schroeder: …Well, I'm going home.
It's a good time, since the police'll be making a ruckus soon.
Misaki: Professor Schroeder.
Schroeder: Kirihara-kun.
I've never once thought that my own way of living is mistaken.
The face you're making now, like you've given up on something--
That's completely unlike you.
When you came to visit Pandora, you were more beautiful, and brighter.
If you can, I'd like you not to lose that beauty.
Misaki: ……

Come on, you're getting off.
Azusa: N…no!
I don't want to get off!
Hei: Don't be selfish.
FX: Tears falling
Azusa: Augh…
…You're going to where that person is, right? So please take me with you too!
Hei: I can't.
Azusa: Please.
No matter what…no matter what, I have to get it back……
Hei: Get what back?
Your friend who died when you met him won't come back.
Azusa: That's not it.
------------

Azusa: I…I remember everything.
Even killing Coach…
I might remember why I did that, too.
But no matter what……
There's something I can't remember no matter what.
My friend who died because of me,
Her name,
And her face--
And what kind of person she was, I can't remember at all!
It's like holes have opened up in my mind…!
Hei: ……
Azusa: So that's why I have to take it back…!
------------

Hei: ……There are things it's better to forget.
Azusa: No!
I did terrible things,

Azusa: And I want to apologize, but I can't even remember her face!

Azusa: Augh--
Hei: I told you before, didn't I? When you came to yourself, that the flower would kill you.
I don't know whether you're alive now because the flower was weeded or because you don't have those memories.
Even if you regain your memories, you might still die.
Azusa: …!!
……But even so--
No matter how hard it is……That all of a person I cared about doesn't exist within me is too cruel.
That person is pitiful.
And for me that's awful……
------------
!!! page 17
Azusa: If I'm a burden, then you can just ignore me there…so please!
Please take me too!
I don't want to get off here and lose the memories of the person I cared about!
