Ah, it's you.

It's been a long time since we've last seen each other.

During this time... you've been teetering on the edge of a cliff.

You may have forgotten who you are, but just remembering your name is enough.

...It's time. Don't linger here for too long.

After all, you aren't my guest yet, nor should you even be here.

She still needs you.

December 23rd.

You may not remember what this date means to you.

And this will thrust you into peril.

......

No...

You must try to remember.

Distant Voice

...consciousness...

Circulation resumed... vitals stabilized... cardioplegia solution injected...

Body temperature low... administering Hexamethasone 20 c.c., now...

Get the hemostat!

...Conditions stable... beginning resection... be careful of VFib...

...Sorry...

For making you suffer again...

???

......

Doctor...

...hand!

Take my...

Take my hand!!

......

Emergency...

...Help...

...It's done...!

Doctor, Doctor!

Medic, how's Doctor doing?

But, just a moment ago... we were holding hands...

So why... why is Doctor still not waking up...?

Medic

Amiya! Don't panic, just calm down first!

Amiya

Ah... S-sorry.

Medic

You always get so flustered when it comes to the doctor.

But, Amiya, if the worst came to pass... what would you do then?

Amiya

...I'm already mentally prepared for that. We would continue to follow the plan.

Medic

...I understand. Anyway, I'll do what you requested.

Amiya

All right... I appreciate it.

About the Doctor...

Medic

Don't worry, Amiya. All the vital signs are stable now.

I'll do one more inspection, just for you.

Amiya

Thank you... Thank you very much!

Medic

Mhm. Breathing is slightly shallow, but blood pressure is normal. There should be no cause for concern.

Amiya

...!

Medic

...

Are you awake?

Amiya, it's a success! The Doctor has woken up!

Amiya

Doctor...?

I'm so happy... Doctor...

Medic

Ah, careful! You mustn't do that...

Don't try to move yet. Your body still hasn't fully adapted to this.

Amiya

Doctor...?

Your choice

Who... are you?

Amiya

Ah, Doctor... It's me...

...

It's me, Amiya.

We've come to rescue you.

Your choice

...Who... am I...?

Amiya

You...

You're a member of Rhodes Island, just like us...

...as well as my partner.

...Dr. Doctor.

You're the most important person to me.

Doctor... you don't remember?

Your choice

...Can I trust you?

...

I see... Pleased to meet you, Amiya.

Amiya

...

I understand. I know this is a bit much to take in right now.

I don't expect you to remember everything right away, and I'm not asking you to trust me right now.

Dr. Doctor, do you really not remember me at all...?

...

Even if that's the case... I won't give up.

We've already sacrificed so much, just to find you...

Ah, um, hello.

...

I, I don't know how to put this, but so many things have changed from before.

That includes me as well.

However, you'll always be the most important person to me, Doctor. No matter what happens, this will never change.

So that's why, please... give me a little more time.

However little it might be...

Your choice

......

Medic

Does the doctor... really have amnesia?

Amiya

...

I'm sure everything will be fine if we give Doctor some space...

Your choice

Where is this...

Amiya

It's safe here—

Huh? What's happening—

Heavily-Armed Man

Amiya, we've got a problem!

Someone broke into the facility!

The way they're dressed... they don't look like Ursus soldiers!

Reunion Member

...

Heavily-Armed Man

What's the meaning of this?!

They're attacking! Amiya, they're heavily equipped with weapons!

Medic

Aaaahh!

Amiya

Be careful, everyone! Take cover, and protect Doctor!

These outfits... are they from the Reunion Movement? But how is that possible...

Guards, prepare for battle!

Guard

Roger!

Curses... Are they after the Doctor?!

Amiya

No... Nobody else should know about the Doctor being here.

Are you able to reach Kal'tsit?

Guard

I'm not sure why, but the equipment isn't working!

Amiya

...Someone has cut off our communications.

Have we been discovered by the Ursus government?

Guard

What do we do now?

Amiya

Kal'tsit won't be able to command the battle as we had originally planned.

...

...Dr. Doctor.

I hope that... you'll be able to take command.

Medic

Isn't that a bit too risky? The Doctor only just came to...

Amiya

I'd like... to give it a try.

Even without memories, Doctor has...

...fought alongside us before.

???

Thank you for all of your guidance...

Amiya

...

We've been through so much together...

Doctor... I just know that you'll be able to do it.

???

I know that you'll lead us to victory.

Amiya

I understand that asking you to do this is very sudden and inconsiderate.

But... Please, lend us your aid.

We'll be supporting you!

Your choice

Let's push them back first!

...

We have no choice but to fight back, right?

Amiya

Mm... I don't want to drag you into this.

But right now, we need your wisdom more than ever, Dr. Doctor.

I hope that a part of you will reawaken during combat.

Even though you might have doubts about yourself...

But I believe in you.

I know you can do this.

Please take command... of Rhodes Island!
