...Sensei.
"...?"
There we go! Sorry! You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you!
But I think we need to start our preparations...or Hoshino's going to yell at us!
Yume! Sensei! Hurry up! We need to go find treasure at the oasis!
I'll wait for you at the school gate!
Hurry up, or I'll leave without you!
Haha. Hoshino's so excited.
She's become more mischievous since your arrival, Sensei...in a good way, of course.
"..."
...Sensei?
"Yume..."
Yes, Sensei? Is something wrong?
Did you have a nightmare or something? Why do you look so sad?
"I'm sorry, Yume..."
...
"I'm sorry...I might be an adult, but..."
...
"As an adult... I..."
"I..."
Sensei.
Mmm... I don't know all the details, but I can tell you one thing for certain.
It wasn't your fault, Sensei.
So please don't apologize.
"I can't turn back time."
"I can't undo death."
"I'm not a being capable of that."
"I'm...just a..."
"...an ordinary person, who can do no more than extend a hand..."
"...to the child suffering within my reach."
You're right. But don't you think that's enough, Sensei?
It's the little things that accumulate, bit by bit...
...and one day, become an overwhelming miracle! Like Hoshino!
...Oops. Hoshino gets mad when I call her a miracle, but still...
I believe that to be true...or maybe I just want to believe it...
"I'll remember those words, Yume. Always."
Really? I-I kind of just blurted all that out, but...
You're off to go rescue a suffering child, right?
"Yes, the child who's within my reach."
I hope you can rescue her safely!
"I will. No matter what."
"It's you."
You are...?!
Sensei?! H-How did you get here?!
"We finally meet, Underground Dweller."
What are you attempting?! The game has concluded!
Victory is mine! You lose, without having done a single thing of note!
"No."
No?
"This is only the beginning."
Coordinates confirmed. Rerouting the partially manifested Chroma's power to activate the forced jump sequence.
"Shiroko, please! ...Stop her!"
...!!
Don't reach out to something like that.
H-How...?
Sunaookami Shiroko, I know you. You are not weak.
I know because you are me. And I am strong.
It's a simple syllogism. But that's why it's okay.
"Shiroko!"
Yeah.
Sensei called for me. You need my help, right?
Th-The current situation is...
I know. Leaving Hoshino be will mean the destruction of this world.
Y-Yeah...
I already know. It began with Abydos, after all.
You dodged that?!
No, Hoshino. I do.
Pain is something I know better than anyone.
I will stop you. Come, Takanashi Hoshino.
Is there any hope of winning?
Yes. I know how to handle that thing.
I've fought you once, so I won't lose this time.
