>> Final Route, Chapter 14: Family
Sara. Tsugumi.
We need to talk.
Tsugumi. Look at this.
You've seen it before, right?
This is an image of Takeshi Kuranari.
But if it is...
The 'Takeshi' we know isn't Takeshi at all.
Takeshi is our father.
And Tsugumi...
It's true. It has to be.
Say something!
Don't lie to me anymore!
Seventeen years ago, this all happened once before.
There, you and Takeshi...
Tsugumi refuses to accept the name of mother.
She abandoned us.
She didn't protect us.
She doesn't expect to be forgiven...
Our hearts are one.
With this, I feel like I've regained everything I lost.
Don't worry about forgiveness.
It's enough just to be with you...
When Tsugumi first escaped LeMU, Lieblich was there.
Ready to user her body to realize the humand ream of immortality.
So she ran.
Lieblich's reach was almost infinite. She could never stop running.
Nine months later, still wandering without anywhere to return to, Tsugumi gave birth to twins.
Sara and I.
When she found someone she could ask, Tsugumi was assured that the children couldn't have Cure.
It only infects pure humans, and Tsugumi's genetic code had been rewritten.
2019.
Tsugumi finally found a place where she can live.
Poor, barely scraping by, but safe.
Tsugumi had a new reason to live.
But Takeshi... he had promised that he would see her again.
How could he keep that promise now?
For a while, it seemed like the three of them could truly be happy.
Then, it all fell apart.
Lieblich found her again.
She had to keep running, but... would that ever be happiness for the kids?
Constantly on the move. Unable to get an education. Unable to make friends. Always in fear of Lieblich.
So she left them.
With Chami her only companion, she ran away.
And that's the story.
She didn't even grant the names Sara and Hokuto. Those came from our next parents...
There's still more to do.
I'm starting to remember things.
A phone call I received before I came to LeMU.
The reason I'm here.
And now I need to talk to the person who called me.
Takeshi is my father.
Who the hell are you?
Why?
Why are you recreating the calamity of 17 years ago?
Why are you dragging us all back into this?
He admits it.
His real name is...
