One month.

Thirty-four days.

I have been her for thirty-four days and it seems... it seems people are going home. Not everyone of course, no, that would be silly and against their so-called "cause" whatever that may be. But there have been disappearances, disappearances that mean a lot to people. They're...

They're making this city cry and I won't

It does seem to be happening a lot, lately, doesn't it?

[...]

It is noble of you to try and find out 'why.' Good luck. You have set yourself a difficult task indeed...

[hardlyboiled]

But of course, I wouldn't be a real man if I didn't try. Thank you, though.

[pristinestar]

...

[a small sigh] Just when people are doing their best, trying to hold on... Suddenly, they disappear the next day without warning. Yes, it's horrible...

And behind all of this, we still don't know why we're here even after months of stay. Even though I've been waiting patiently and watching, I still don't know much at all... I can try giving you some information, but I'm not sure if you've already heard of them.

[hardlyboiled]

[He gives a small wry grin.] I haven't been personally affected myself but I've seen the reactions of others...

Any information though, would be greatly appreciated.

[pristinestar]

... ... Yeah.

All right. Some time ago, when I was still new to Vatheon, there was something that had happened here and it caused quite a stir. One of the foreigners had broken into the church when it was still... open, or not as heavily guarded and sealed as it is now. This event is actually what caused it to be.

So, this foreigner had broken in and was able to steal a few documents... those pages are the ones that revealed that foreigners were brought here purposely and that we are experiments. What it is, unfortunately wasn't mentioned.

... It's all very blur, but that's all we ever found out until now.

[hardlyboiled]

[This... is amazing information.]

... Do you possibly have or know where to get a copy of these documents?

[keyword_bingo]

I miss the ease of the Gaia library.

[hardlyboiled]

...

[Heh. A sigh.] Me too. Makes me wonder if we could've solved cases without it.

[keyword_bingo]

I like to think Narumi Soukichi taught you everything we need to know. This world is just... There are too many variables.

[hardlyboiled]

[He grins sheepishly. A-aw, partner.]

Yeah... you're right. When we think we've learned it all, something new happens and we're back to square one.

[guiltyguitar]

I couldn't agree more.

[ He does smile slightly. ]

... I've been investigating this for awhile now, and haven't found a single trail. In fact, there's quite a few 'unsolved' things around here that need to be solved. I take it Herr Philip is your partner...?

[ He's fairly sure he knows you are partners. ]

video returned~

[hardlyboiled]

Yes! Philip is my partner, we're a two in one detective.

[He grins, totally oblivious.] So, another man who wants to keep up order here?
