()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||<黑屏2>9BGM_Truth:You bid someone farewell, as usual. +You then meet her again, as usual. +Disconnect from a call with her, as usual. Then, wait for her to reconnect, as usual. +Repeating it over and over, you take it all for granted. +... +...Until one day, you finally realize... ()M4A1||:... +M...16... Why are you here...!? ()M16A1||:It seems like Persica wasn't lying. You really have changed. ()||Gunfight:Every meeting that you've had, every parting that you've experienced... +...Those are the final gifts that fate has seen fit to grant you. ()||<黑屏1>0.7:... M4A1(3)M4A1||<黑屏2>99:M16... your appearance... +What happened to you...?! ()M16A1||0.3:What happened to me? ()M16A1||:I was captured and tortured by Sangvis Ferri. Surprised? M4A1(3)M4A1||:How?! How...?! +M16... how could this ever happen to you?! ()M16A1||:Many things aren't as they seem. +I'm still helping you, just in a different fashion. M4A1(3)M4A1||:First AR-15...now even you... +Persica will surely be able to save you... +So...M16...I won't give up the chance to bring you home this time! ()M16A1||:That time has not yet arrived, M4. +There's still... something... that I must see through. M4A1(3)M4A1||<震屏>:For something you must see through?! +What are you even doing this for?! ()M16A1||:... M16(1)M16A1||0.2:For you, and for the future of us all. ()||:Um... ()||:Hush! M4A1(3)M4A1||:In that case, why won't you believe us?! +You don't have to face this alone... M16(1)M16A1||:... +(Sighs) People are like trees. The higher the branches grow toward the bright sky, the further the roots must stretch into the murky depths. M4A1(3)M4A1||:I'm your leader and your friend. +There isn't any problem that we can't solve together... +We've already overcome so many obstacles... Surely this time, we can also... M16(1)M16A1||:... M4A1(0)M4A1||:You just have to trust us... M16(1)M16A1||0.4:... +I...I trust... ()||:...Wait, at this rate, Miss M16 is gonna be convinced! ()||:Oh... you're right... ()||:I know! +How about this? M4A1(3)M4A1||:I'm your leader and your friend. +There isn't any problem that we can't solve together... +We've already overcome so many obstacles... Surely this time, we can also... M16(1)M16A1||:... +It's not like I don't trust you! +Ugh, but there really are lots of stuff that I just can't tell you! M4A1(3)M4A1||:Huh...? M16(1)M16A1||0.4:Gosh, you're so dumb! I'll be back soon, okay?! ()||BGM_Empty:Uh... ()||<黑屏1>:... m1(0)M1 Garand||BGM_Hello<黑屏2>85:I don't think... +Uh...Miss M16 would ever talk like this... T65(0)T65||:Oh? Really? +But with that, everything is solved! M3(0)M3||:I-I also agree it isn't likely that Miss M16 would ever talk to Miss M4 in that tone... m1(0)M1 Garand||:Exactly. Miss T91 will notice this isn't like the M16 that she knows once she gets to this part. +Our main objective is to fool her! T65(0)T65||:Argh...! This is such a pain! Then what the hell should we even change it to?! +I give up. T77, go get me a drink. T77(0)T77||:... T65(0)T65||:Hey! I'm telling you to buy me a drink, not rewrite the script! T77(0)T77||:...It's so much trouble communicating with you. +I'll get you your usual drink. m1(0)M1 Garand||:..."I'm doing this precisely because I trust you." +That's more like it... M3(0)M3||:Yeah... I can totally imagine Miss M16 saying that... T65(0)T65||:How come you're all okay with T77's suggestion?! T65(0);m1(0)M1 Garand||:Because...it makes more sense... T65(0)T65;m1(0)||:You're all bullying me! From now on I'm through with you! T65(0);m1(0)M1 Garand||:If you're through with us now, we won't be able to make the video. T65(0)T65;m1(0)||:Ugh... T65(0);m1(0)M1 Garand||:T77 only proposed the change for Miss T91. +Isn't that also the reason why you've been working so hard all this time, Miss T65? T65(0)T65;m1(0)||:... +Fine... +We're going through so much trouble all because Miss M16 suddenly went missing! +This is all her fault! T65(0);m1(0)M1 Garand||:...Miss T65, it's no use thinking about this now. T65(0)T65||:... +Maybe someone'll come along and tell us... +...that all of this is just part of some show... M3(0)M3||BGM_Empty:But even the Commander told us... T65(0)T65||BGM_Wake<震屏>:This is Miss M16 though! There must be some kind of misunderstanding! +She was just retrieving some document! What could Sangvis Ferri do to her?! +I know, she probably just got lost on her way back! M3(0)M3||:If only that were true... m1(0)M1 Garand||:I also hope the Commander would tell us everything that happened in the last few weeks were all lies. +But up till now, both the Commander and RO have been avoiding the subject... +Maybe...something unimaginable...really happened to her... T65(0)T65||:Humph! In any case, I refuse to believe S.F. is that powerful! +This is the amazing Miss M16 we're talking about! +It's Miss M16... m1(0)M1 Garand||:You're right, something must be holding her up. She will be back. T65(0)T65||:But even if we keep waiting... +... +When T77 came back yesterday for a visit, she said... T77(0)T77||:Your apple soda. T65(0)T65||:Oh, thanks! +Alright, I forgive you for rewriting the script! ()||:...T77 gesticulates. m1(0)M1 Garand||:You'd better say that out loud. We might misinterpret...if you sign everything... T77(0)T77||:I've put T91's bubble tea on her desk. +The desk is so full I can't put any more bubble tea there. m1(0)M1 Garand||:She still... hasn't drank any of them at all? ()||:T77 shakes her head. T65(0)T65||:... +She doesn't even have the strength to argue with the Commander that Miss M16 hasn't gone missing... T77(0)T77||:It's been so long since we lost track of Miss M16. +Could T91's neural cloud have suffered a meltdown already? T65(0)T65||:That's what worries me the most. +According to T77...we can't let T91's mental state worsen any further... +If she hasn't had a meltdown already, she's on the brink of one. M3(0)M3||:Huh? H-How could it be that serious...?! +I haven't seen her for a few days, but I thought it was only because she was in maintenance... T65(0)T65||:It did start off with maintenance... +But as time went by, her situation deteriorated... M3(0)M3||:How did it come to this...? +Isn't there anything Miss Persica and the Commander can do? T65(0)T65||:...That little girl probably admires that missing person more than any of us ever will... +I suggested to the Commander that we should wipe all memories concerning M16 from T91's neural cloud... but the Commander vehemently refused. T77(0)T77||:If T91 ever found out you proposed such a thing, she'd hate you forever. T65(0)T65||:She could hate me for all she wants, humph. +I'd rather she have the strength to even hate me in the first place. It'd be better than how she is now. m1(0)M1 Garand||:But the Commander came up with a much better idea than directly tampering with Miss T91's memory. +As long as... it goes smoothly... T65(0)T65||:This is why we're all here! +With so many of us, it should be a piece of cake filming this short video! T77(0)T77||:Even if we want to get T91 to pull herself together... +Will this actually work? We're just coming up with a lie to deceive her. +What we're doing is no different than shining a light at the rooftop of the opposite building and asking a desperate person to walk over by stepping on the ray of light. m1(0)M1 Garand||:To someone with nowhere else to go, that ray of light is pretty much their future. +All we're trying to do is give her hope that "Miss M16 will come home soon"... +It will be Miss M16 herself doing the talking; T91 shouldn't notice anything wrong with it. T77(0)T77||:... +But what if Miss M16 really won't be coming back? +Or what if... she comes back as a different person? What then? T65(0)T65||:... +As if... that would ever happen! M3(0)M3||:... m1(0)M1 Garand||:... T65(0)T65||:Say something, M3, Garand! +If Miss M16 really is gone for good, then M4, T91...and the others... m1(0)M1 Garand||:... +If the Commander and everyone else in the AR Team all believe in Miss M16, we shouldn't get carried away thinking about such nonsense. +No matter what the future is like, we should focus on what's right before us. T65(0)T65||:That's right! That's exactly right! T77(0)T77||:If you're this optimistic... +Well then, let's hope the filming later goes smoothly. M3(0)M3;T77(0)||:Huh? Later? +Didn't the Commander arrange it to be in the small hours tomorrow? M3(0);T77(0)T77||:Doesn't that mean after midnight tonight? M3(0)M3||:... +Huh? +Whaaaaaaat?? +M-Miss Garand... m1(0)M1 Garand||:...That seems to be the case. M3(0)M3||:I thought we took so long to prep because we had plenty of time... T77(0)T77||:Uh-oh, we're done for. m1(0)M1 Garand||:Ahem... If we didn't spend enough time making preparations, we'd have to waste a lot more effort trying to catch up later on. +Still, don't worry too much. All that's left to do is something that can be easily handled. T65(0)T65||:Everything we need is already in the script. What could go wrong? +Humph! It's just carrying a camera around filming stuff! +T77, let's go! ()||:... T77(0)T77||<黑屏1>:Though everything we need is already in the script... ()T77||BGM_Empty<黑屏2>9:Things never really go according to a script in reality, do they? ()||<黑点1>:... ()||<黑点2>10:... M3(0)M3||BGM_Sneak:Brrr... It's freezing... +Are we there yet? Do we really need to travel so far...? m1(0)M1 Garand||:This is it. +But keep your voice down. There's still some leftover S.F. wandering around. M3(0)M3||:Huh? We're filming with real S.F.?! +Isn't that too dangerous?! m1(0)M1 Garand||:CGI effects take too much time to make... Filming on site is the easiest for us. +We can receive support from the base anytime in this area. This is what we've decided after discussing with the Commander. +Miss M3, please go and put on some makeup. We'll return once we have all the shots we need. M3(0)M3||:I... I understand. T77(0)T77||:...First off, we need a battle scene of us exchanging fire with Sangvis Ferri, right? +... +Scout, strike, ambush, sweep... I've carried out all these missions before, but never once carrying a camera. T65(0)T65||:It's good to experience new things! +S.F., S.F., where are you...? Let us get a nice shot of your face— T77(0)T77||:Sigh... Do we really have to go this far just to forge something? m1(0)M1 Garand||:... +There's only a thin line that separates illusion and hope. +If we can grant someone in despair the courage to move forward and face the future, even reality will have no choice but to bend to our whims. T77(0)T77||<黑点1>:... +Do we... really have what it takes...?
