NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:...Why are you here?
NPC-Keven(6)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:I was passing by... and just so happened to see you. +I really didn't expect to see you here.
NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:...I'm surprised too, Kevin. +Say, do you think Frankfurt, having been razed to the ground, can ever be rebuilt?
NPC-Keven(6)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:It's got to be rebuilt. There will always be someone to rebuild.
NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:...Kevin, you're really not suited to be a special agent.
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:Why not?
NPC-Keven(7);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:Because you're lying. +You didn't just "happen to see me". You came looking for me.
NPC-Keven(6)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:...Maybe you just know me too well.
NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:Or maybe it's because our family has produced two Stasi agents.
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:About Light... I still owe you an apology.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:He looks away, his face laden with guilt.
NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:...It was his choice. +From the moment our mother died, I knew he would take that path. +Just like you.

NPC-Keven(7);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:If you came only to say this, then forget it.
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:I asked around DDR2. They said you're working... as a war reporter now. +I thought, given the situation, I might find you here.
NPC-Keven(7);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:Why?
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:Because a power station is an obvious target.
NPC-Keven(7);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:True, everyone knows that. +Yet so many still chose to stay and work here. +Already 78 dead, 237 wounded... +Most of them will die from the lack of rescue. +They'll die at their posts.

NPC-Keven(7);NPC-Shadowless(7)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:Is this what the big shots... the ones in power... want? +Countless civilians giving their lives for the whims of a few.
NPC-Shadowless(7)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:...To them, these are just numbers. Necessary sacrifices. +Right now, they're more concerned about... winning the power struggle and purging their enemies...

NPC-Keven(11);NPC-Shadowless(7)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:I'm not blaming you. +The ones I'd blame wouldn't care about my words anyway.
NPC-Keven(11)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(7)||:I know. But all I can say is sorry. +Shadow, it feels like I've only ever said sorry to you. And still, I have nothing else to give other than my apologies.
NPC-Keven(11)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(7)||:When we were kids, Light and I dreamed of being legends like your father Ulrig—agents who died for their ideals. +But this era... this era has no place for idealists anymore...
NPC-Keven(11);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:I know... I know that better than anyone. +This is the twilight age. People mouth empty words that even they themselves no longer believe.

NPC-Keven(6)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:What about you? Are you walking a path that you chose yourself?
NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:As a child born of a Stasi agent, I was watched from birth. +When I was young, I swore that one day I'd break free, that I would be the one watching others instead.
NPC-Keven(6);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:Later, I realized how ridiculous that was. +Media is just a job. +Most jobs in this world are just jobs. +Only as children did we have the delusion that some jobs could change the world.
NPC-Keven(11)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:Maybe from the moment we were born, we were destined never to be heroes who reshape the world.
NPC-Keven(11);NPC-Shadowless(8)<Speaker>Shadowless</Speaker><Scale>0.9</Scale>||:But since we live, we've got to do something. +Something that we feel compelled to do. Something that has to be done.
NPC-Keven(11)<Speaker>J</Speaker>;NPC-Shadowless(8)||:Something that has to be done... +What is that for you?
