Day XX, Truth

>

I found... Mother... She's with Jane... They're... okay... Thank God...

………………

Crowd

The troops! The troops are here!

In the back! The back! A group of Corrupted! There's one in the middle! Oh god, what do we do?!

Guard

Everyone, stand back!

Take aim, ready to fire!

Mommy

Nanami!

Don't shoot! Nanami, she's a... good child...

Guard

She's a mechanoid! If a mechanoid is infected—

Mother

No! She won't! She's fighting for us... Can't you see?

Guard

...

Father

Nanami!

Guard

No sir! Turn back!

Nanami

Daddy... Mommy... Why am I... a machine...?

Father

Nanami... Sorry...

Nanami

...

Father

We've lied to you...

You... were a subject in... a machine consciousness experiment...

We treated you like a human, nurturing you so you'd grow into humans like us...

Nanami

But then... why can Nanami... grow...

Father

"Won't grow tall if you don't sleep on time," remember?

Nanami

I see... A... Ahaha...

Father

Nanami... Your father and mother love you from the bottom of our hearts...

The time we spent together was real, Nanami... We are not a fake family.

Nanami

It's okay, I know...

Corrupted

Urgh—

Crowd

Fire! Shoot them! They're coming! They're coming!

Guard

Evacuate the crowd! There's still one last flight in the nearby airport!

Nanami

Mommy, daddy, Jane, you should leave!

Guard

Prepare to fire!

Mother

Stop! You all stop!

Guard

We cannot take any potential risks!

Mother

At least... at least... just wait a little more... please...

Guard

...She can continue fighting, but we will not allow her to come near. And if she becomes a Corrupted, we will fire at her indiscriminately.

Nanami

It's okay, mommy... I... I'll continue fighting the Corrupted... and protect everyone...

But if I become a Corrupted... I wouldn't want myself hurting you all...

Goodbye, Jane...

Goodbye, Mommy, Daddy. So long, and thanks for all the good times...
