Arata (1524 lines)
Main story (122)
Prologue: EDEN 1 22 lines
ArataSheesh. You don't have to act all tough by coming to a place like this if you're chicken, you know.
ArataOh, just shut your trap.
ArataAnyhow...
ArataWe've never met here before, have we?
ArataI'm Arata Sanada. Nice to meet you and all that.
ArataLeave the stupidity for later, okay?
ArataSo, while I was waiting for Player, I took a little look around.
ArataI thought that "Mr. Navit" fellow who called us here might be around.
ArataWell, I was doing a little of that too.
ArataBut in the end, I found neither.
ArataRather, there wasn't anyone around to be found. You'd think there'd be one or two hackers in an area like Kowloon, no matter how dangerous it is.
ArataIt's hacking! We've all been hacked!
ArataWhoa. This Mr. Navit fellow is no slouch. He broke through my firewall like it was nothing.
ArataIt's a hacking tool that's been making the rounds with hackers lately.
ArataYou use this Digimon Capture to run the Digimon program applications.
ArataYes, those Digimon. The ones you're so interested in.
ArataHmmm.... There's a certain kind of data known as
"Digital Monsters" than you can "capture" by scanning, this thing says.
"Digital Monsters" than you can "capture" by scanning, this thing says.
ArataAh, so "Digimon" IS short for "Digital Monster".
ArataWell, I suppose you could put it that way.
ArataWell, it's no big deal. Hackers are nothing out of the ordinary nowadays.
ArataLeave it be. The program's protected. Who knows what'll happen if you force-delete it.
ArataDon't let him get away!
Prologue: EDEN 11 8 lines
ArataWhat was that image just now? A child? I am SO weirded out.
ArataDarn it, I wanna know what that was! Whoa... This really does not feel right.
ArataWhat's that? Is that another Digimon?
ArataIt can't be! The "Black Monster of EDEN" people have been talking about? They say it devours your data.
ArataYou guys, this way! Run! Whatever this thing is, it's a real menace, that's for sure!
ArataI'll break through the lock on this thing! Log out, then get away as fast as you can!
ArataHey, I told you to run, didn't I? Go on, get out of here!
ArataHey!
Prologue: EDEN 12 5 lines
Chapter 2: Search for the Father (Yuuko) 3 14 lines
ArataPlayer! You're all right!
ArataWhat, me? I'm fine as well, as you can see.
ArataIf anyone was gonna be looking for trouble, I'm guessing it'd be Nokia.
ArataYou can either peg her for a chicken or toughie, but she gets what's coming to her.
ArataBut still, that monster...
ArataThat's the first time I've seen it. I'd heard rumors, of some nasty program, preying on data.
ArataThen I asked the admins about it, but they insisted they knew nothing.
ArataDon't you think that's a little strange? The admins should have noticed something like that.
ArataSomething bothers me about all this. I've half a mind to look into things properly.
ArataAt the very least, this doesn't seem to be an official event, or some prank by some third-rate hacker either.
ArataHuh? You say I'm a hacker too?
ArataWell, what can I say about that? It is what it is.
ArataOh, and I've got an appointment to keep. I've gotta be off.
ArataI'll see you later.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 1 9 lines
ArataIs this place real? Or digital?
ArataWhat's going on? This is too strange.
ArataIt's like two worlds are intersecting. Ha! Oh, I can't make heads or tails of this.
ArataI don't think there's anything wrong with my head.
ArataAt least the cops won't be after me here.
ArataOh, for sure. The way she is? I can see her showing up out of the blue.
ArataWhich means there's only one answer.
ArataA demon or a snake is back there.
ArataLet's think of a plan once we see it.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 2 15 lines
ArataHey, which do you think a Digimon is more like? A demon or a snake?
ArataSince a Digimon has turned up, this must be the Digital World, right?
ArataYet this still feels very much like the Real World, right?
ArataWell, we're not going to get anywhere by just thinking about it.
ArataRegardless, these Digimon seem to be a bit on the wild and vicious side.
ArataHeheh. And so, knowing that's what they were like...
ArataI made sure to get my hands on some slightly tougher Digimon.
ArataWe never know when we might get attacked by something like that black one from the other day.
ArataYou've got your Digimon too, so the next time it crosses our path, we'll delete it for sure, yeah?
ArataWhat? What do you mean?
ArataI'd thought this before, but you're strange. Sometimes I don't understand what you're saying.
ArataDo you lack any sense of self-awareness or something? Either way, I guess you're at least pretty fascinating.
ArataHeh, that's the spirit. I'll hold you to that!
ArataHey, this isn't the time for a long chat. We need to get moving.
ArataHey, hey, why so timid all of a sudden? Remember, I'm counting on you here!
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 3 21 lines
ArataHuh? Are you okay? You've been quiet for a while now.
ArataWhat? "I need to report to the agency"?
"But there's no connection"?
"But there's no connection"?
ArataWhat are you talking about? What agency?
ArataWhat? The detective agency you work at? You're a "super-cool" cyber sleuth?
ArataSuper-cool?
ArataI mean, a cyber sleuth? A digital detective?!
ArataReally? That's incredible. I don't quite get it, but it's incredible!
ArataYou really are something, aren't you?
ArataNo, that's... That wasn't a compliment.
ArataWell, communication is out. I've been trying for a while now too, and in here, there's no net connection at all.
ArataThe Digital Wave must be unstable.
ArataNo way. You're gonna make me explain Digital Waves to you?
ArataLook it up later. Do a search.
ArataMore importantly...
ArataLet's talk about this cyber sleuth thing. I want to hear more about that.
ArataDon't get me wrong!
ArataIt's not 'cause I think it's interesting or 'cause I want to try it out.
ArataIt's just plain intellectual curiosity. A piqued interest.
ArataIt must be weird, though, being a cyber sleuth. What's it like? I've only read about it in comics.
ArataNope, that's enough. I've lost interest already.
ArataCrap.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 4 16 lines
ArataArgh! Okay, I want to know! I want to know!
ArataTell me more about it. What's it like being a cyber sleuth?
ArataWhat cases have you solved so far? And what's your boss like?
ArataTell me everything.
ArataGulp! This is the same as the one from Kowloon the other day, right?
ArataWhat is it? What happened?
ArataHey, don't look at me! This is no time to be fooling around.
ArataWhat? There was a ghost? The "Ghost of the Pale Boy" that all of EDEN has been going on and on about?
ArataAnd you saw it in Kowloon? For real? You're not trying to con me?
ArataYou'd be the only one who isn't. Anyone could tell you're really soft-hearted.
ArataAnd you clearly saw something strange. You got a good look at it, yet saw nothing.
ArataAnd it left something in your head. As if something were pushed into it.
ArataWhoa, that's freaky. And frustrating. To be on the cusp of remembering, and yet...
ArataWhat the heck is that? What does it mean?
ArataYeah...
ArataWell, it's another lead to follow, perhaps. Come on, let's go.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 5 29 lines
ArataHey. You notice that?
ArataListen up, you, or should I say, "sleuth." Something's been following us for the last while.
ArataI don't know exactly what or who it is. A Digimon, or a ghost, or maybe it's her.
ArataShow yourself! Come on out!
ArataWho are you? What are you doing here?
ArataYou're alone?
ArataWhy were you following us?
ArataWell, I guess it's no big deal.
ArataBut if you're in the mood to apologize, tell us what this is. We want to know.
ArataSure thing. Right, Player?
ArataIt's a flow of energy that carries digital information, correct?
ArataThat's quite the leap of logic, isn't it?
ArataAn Eater? What is that?
ArataDo you mean that thing that looks like a black and white nautilus shell? That freaky program?
ArataGlitched? What does that mean?
ArataSo you end up being eaten.
ArataWhat?
ArataHey, mister, calm down!
ArataLet me get this straight. Kamishiro knows about these Eaters? That doesn't sound good.
ArataCrap! So they DID know about them! Those admin creeps have been stonewalling me.
ArataThere's more I want to ask on that front.
ArataWhat's it to you?
ArataWhat? An Eater is here too?
ArataYou're a researcher, aren't you? You should have secret weapons at your disposal, right?
ArataA camera watch that can detect hidden objects, or a ball we can stuff captured creatures into?
ArataYeah, but... Mr. Suedou, it's not that I don't believe you...
ArataBut you want us to wipe that thing out, right? Well, that just happens to be our goal as well.
ArataWell, then. We're off for revenge.
ArataAnd let's find our way back to the regular world. The longer we're here, the weirder my head gets.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 6 9 lines
ArataWhoa! Is this the ghost you were talking about?
ArataIt's looking at us!
ArataIt went and disappeared on us.
ArataKnock it off. Do you know who that was? Do you even have a clue who it might be?
ArataI'm imagining things, that's all. Yeah.
ArataDang, here it is!
ArataIf his theory is correct, taking the Eater down will also collapse this strange phenomenon.
ArataRight? And if that happens, what happens to us, who are inside of that phenomenon?
ArataThanks for saying what I was thinking.
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 7 1 lines
ArataWhat's happening?
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 8 6 lines
ArataDo you have any idea what this is?
ArataYeah. This whole phenomenon's hard to wrap my head around. I've never seen anything like it.
ArataBut still. There's got to be a way for us to get inside it, wouldn't you think?
ArataCrap! This gal's the last thing we need right now.
ArataMaybe I should bail before this becomes a whole ordeal.
ArataUh-oh! Come on, let's bail!
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 10 15 lines
ArataThis is... Shinjuku?! What do you know! The old man's theory was right!
ArataHehe... Hehehe.
ArataHaha! Hahaha!
ArataThe Eaters and the Ghost of the Pale Boy? This is a riot! It's spectacular!
ArataAnd to top it all off, there's you!
ArataA "cyber sleuth"! Haha! Hahaha!
ArataOh, this is all too, too funny!
ArataReality is some pretty dull stuff, no doubt about it. But this? This is something else.
ArataBut getting back to business...
ArataI'm going to dig into these Eaters a little more. Maybe help out with Suedou's research.
ArataThere was something interesting about him.
ArataSpeaking of which, where is he? Is he here?
ArataIn a sense, he's more of a pain than that Eater.
ArataWell, I'm off. And you, don't let yourself get eaten, okay?
ArataSee you later.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 1 5 lines
ArataOkay, you ready?
ArataThe data we need should be somewhere on Kowloon Lv. 1, and we're going looking for it.
ArataIt could potentially be a nasty program. Be careful when you check it out, okay?
ArataWhat's with you? You're really into this. Except the look on your face is weirding me out.
ArataHuh? Sheesh. I just do not get you sometimes.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 2 5 lines
ArataThis has got to be it. Okidoke. I'll see what I can do.
ArataHmm. It's not protected at all... But there's hardly any data here...
ArataWait, what's this? I'm getting some weird feedback. Does this link to somewhere else?
ArataWatch out, Player! I accessed something strange on the other end of that link.
ArataIt's coming!
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 3 17 lines
ArataWhat?!
ArataHey, don't let him get away!
ArataWhew, got him! That was pretty darn close!
ArataHehehe. I told you to leave it to me! I followed him like a hawk!
ArataLooks like he was running toward... Akihabara!
ArataThere's an Internet cafe called Arahabaki in a building down some sketchy alley. It's been out of business for some time now.
ArataI know the place. There's a used book store downstairs from it.
ArataThat's bingo, with a triple seven! Jackpot!
ArataMaybe that's where the culprits behind these missing persons cases are making their hideout!
ArataWhat? Call it in to the police? You want backup from that detective chick doing the cop cosplay?
ArataHey now, no thank you! Calling her is just asking for trouble!
ArataAt least wait until we figure things out first!
ArataAnyway, we should hurry over there. If he gets away again, we're screwed.
ArataPromise you won't call anyone in? Not even that old guy, Matayoshi or whatever.
ArataI'll be waiting in Akihabara, so hurry up!
ArataAnd you wait for me, too! We're solving this one together!
ArataDo you have my back in this, pal?
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 5 9 lines
ArataLook, over there!
ArataMari!
ArataMari! Hey, Mari! Snap out of it!
ArataWhy Mari? Did she just get caught up in this by accident?
ArataNo way. Did whoever's behind all this get her, too?
ArataYeah... I know, I know. Panicking isn't going to solve anything.
ArataWe have to take care of this Eater. Then this phenomenon goes away, and Mari will go back to normal.
ArataOkay, let's resume the investigation.
ArataThere might be other people caught up in all this. Let's have a look around.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 6 12 lines
ArataS-Suedou?!
ArataWhat are you doing here?
ArataYou didn't actually predict that the phenomenon would occur in Akihabara, did you?
ArataThe shift? You mean this phenomenon?
ArataWhatever you want to call it, whenever the phenomenon occurs, an Eater appears.
ArataDefeating the Eater will return things to normal?
ArataThere are other people in here besides us. Things are strange across the board.
ArataIs that also due to this phenomenon of yours?
ArataThen the cause must lie elsewhere.
ArataAn Eater, or that Digimon we let get away.
ArataSo then the only way to know what's going on for sure is for us to go have a look firsthand?
ArataHeh. I'm guessing that was your intention all along, huh?
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 7 10 lines
ArataYeah, who is this guy? You know him? He's not a member of the Comimani forum, and he wasn't on the list.
ArataBut isn't that a bit harsh, calling him "the weird guy" like that?
ArataWhat? What are you talking about?
ArataI don't really get it, but he has nothing to do with the manga that was uploaded to the site.
ArataBut that might not be enough. Just because he's not a member of the forum isn't proof of anything.
ArataHow do I know he's not a member?
ArataWell, he's... I don't know... There's just... something about him.
ArataHe just doesn't seem like a member of the Comimani forum, y'know?
ArataSo, like... what do you think that is?
ArataI've never seen it before. Want to check it out?
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 8 8 lines
ArataNo. Frickin'. Way.
ArataYOU'RE the culprit behind those disappearances?!
ArataNishino, seriously? What are you doing?
ArataNishino...
ArataYou say you're drawing a manga? I don't get it. How is that a manga?
ArataSeriously, I'm not laughing.
ArataWhoa, that Digimon! Why the heck is it so darn big?!
ArataUh oh, Player. I think she's missing a few screws.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 9 8 lines
ArataNishino... I was really looking forward to your manga.
ArataYou know how you like to draw manga?
ArataI was jealous of that, because it looks so much fun, but all I can do is read them.
ArataI honestly can't believe things turned out this way. No, I don't WANT to believe it.
ArataI guess I just never realized, Nishino.
ArataThis is bad. RUN!
ArataN-Nishino?!
ArataDarn you! How could you?!
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 10 1 lines
ArataNow everything'll go back to normal!
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 15 11 lines
ArataEDEN Syndrome? Nishino?!
ArataWhen the Eater attacked Nishino, she must have contracted EDEN Syndrome.
ArataEaters consume data...
ArataIf, say, humans could exist in a semi-digital form within the Digital Shift...
ArataNishino could have been partially consumed. Maybe it just ate her consciousness in data form.
ArataYour avatar... your mental data, is devoured by an Eater in EDEN, but your physical body remains in the real world.
ArataThat's what EDEN Syndrome is!
ArataWhat can we then do to cure it? If we defeat an Eater, does the data it gobbled up come back out?
ArataNo, we defeated that Eater, but Nishino is still unconscious.
ArataIt's no good! We just don't know enough! We need to find Suedou and ask him!
ArataFor now, I'm going to go looking after the Eaters some more. See you around.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 19 15 lines
ArataYeah. Hang on just... one... sec!
ArataHaha, here it is! The site log. Now we can track down the data that was deleted.
ArataEven when users think they've deleted data, it still exists on the server.
ArataThe region where it's stored is protected and the data itself is encrypted, but...
ArataIf I can break into EDEN's ordinary servers, then this should be a snap for me.
ArataOh, it's nothing, really.
ArataNow, do you want to look for the data in question? If we restore the comments we should be able to find what we're looking for.
ArataWhat is this data?
ArataCould this be... Is this a Digimon program? I've never been able to properly analyze one.
ArataIt's also possible that an Eater was involved!
ArataHa! This is pretty cool! If I keep running across stuff like this, maybe I could be a cyber sleuth, too.
ArataBut hanging around here won't help! Let's check it out, Player!
ArataUnsurprisingly enough, this weird data was sent on to Kowloon after it was deleted.
ArataThis way we can check it directly, and if it's a nasty program like an Eater we can just use our Digimon to fight it off.
ArataWe should strike while the iron is hot! Let's meet at Galacta Park in Kowloon!
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 24 16 lines
ArataHuh?
ArataHey, what are you doing here?
ArataWhoa! Player?! What the heck are you doing here?
ArataOh, you're investigating a case, huh?
ArataHmph. What's the investigation? What's the case?
ArataWhoa, why that attitude all of a sudden?! I thought we were buds! Come on, spill the beans!
ArataThe Akiba Disappearances? Yeah, I heard some folks from this one forum went missing.
ArataAnd one of the members is the perpetrator?
ArataThat sounds cool. I'll give you a hand. I'm free right now.
ArataLet's go to Nakano, then. We're going to meet with our informant there, right?
ArataWas there something I needed to do here?
ArataNot particularly. It's not like that. I just happened to be passing by is all.
ArataIs there something on your mind? Like maybe, what's the Comimani forum?
ArataLike if it stands for something really out there, like "Communist Manufacturing" or something?
Arata...
ArataI'll go on ahead. Don't keep me waiting, okay?
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 4 8 lines
ArataThat was... That was the Ghost of the Pale Boy that we saw earlier!
ArataSo if the previous pattern holds... That Bakemon must be nearby, right?
ArataHuh?!
ArataHey! Hey, what are you guys doing?
ArataI already told you! I don't need a whole crew of tagalongs following after me!
ArataHeh, just as I expected. Here it comes. What?
Arata!!!
ArataHang on... Seriously? What is that thing doing? !!!
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 6 1 lines
ArataIt really was as strong as theorized after all. Huh?!
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 8 9 lines
ArataHey, you're late. Well, I knew you'd be here.
ArataBy the way... Is Nokia okay?
ArataWhatever. You should learn to mind your own business.
ArataWhen all's said and done, people with a half-baked sense of justice and a superficial sense of responsibility are the worst.
ArataAnd for her trying to be a leader... She knows nothing about bearing responsibility.
ArataBut never mind that for now. I wanted to talk to you about that Suedou guy.
ArataYou remember him, right? The strange Kamishiro researcher who was studying mysterious phenomena?
ArataThere was something he said that's been bothering me.
ArataActually, I retraced our steps and saw him again the other day...
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 9 5 lines
ArataI really want to know what the cause of this bizarre illness is.
ArataThe last time a Digital Wave appeared was in Shinjuku, right?
ArataI wonder if there are any clues around there. I want to try and search the area.
ArataAnd for you, the ship has already set sail, no? Come on, give me a hand.
ArataBecause we gotta! Okay, let's go!
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 10 6 lines
ArataHuh? What's wrong? Why the sudden investigation of an EDEN spot?
ArataWhat? You detected a special network? Apart from the connections to EDEN?
ArataHey, hold up, what are you talking ab--
ArataHuh?!
ArataGone, without a trace! Whoa, whoa, whoa! What in the heck is going on?!
ArataWhere in the heck...?
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 11 11 lines
ArataHeh. You caught me.
ArataYes. You said something before that bothers me.
ArataI wanted to know more about your investigations, too. Think I could take a peek?
ArataI want you to tell me everything you know. About EDEN Syndrome, the Eaters...
ArataIf, before logging out from EDEN, your mental data is destroyed by an Eater, you lose the ability to wake back up.
ArataI see. So that's the reason behind this bizarre sickness?
ArataAnd? How is the syndrome cured?
ArataDon't keep me hanging here!
ArataInterference?
ArataSomeone's intentionally causing Digital Shifts?
Arata...
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 13 13 lines
ArataBack to what we were talking about. What do you mean by "day of reckoning" exactly?
ArataHey, uh... Isn't that a bit high-handed?
ArataTamer group?
ArataThe Judes? They were a hacker team that was active a little while ago, right?
ArataSo what are you getting at?
Arata...
ArataWhat?
ArataNo thanks.
ArataI don't have time for your game of make-believe.
ArataI'm busy searching for the cause of that crazy sickness. You can go do what you want.
ArataHey, Player.
ArataIs this really the best time for you to be hanging out with someone like her?
ArataI need to talk to you. Come to Shinjuku later. I'll be waiting.
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 14 10 lines
ArataYeah?
ArataHey, you. You're Yuuko Kamishiro, right?
ArataI heard about you from Player. What are doing in a place like this?
ArataYou have business with Player?
ArataPlayer is in here. With the loudmouth.
ArataYou had a very serious look on your face. What were you looking at?
Arata...
ArataYou hungry?
Arata...
ArataOkay, then, I'll see you around.
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 18 17 lines
ArataAha! I finally got through.
ArataWhat happened just now? What the heck did you do?!
ArataI see. So you have EDEN Syndrome, too. You were devoured by an Eater.
ArataSo Suedou's theory was right.
ArataAnd your Connection Jump ability... You can do that because of your current body is...
ArataWhat I mean is...
ArataI'm sorry! I should never have left you behind like that!
ArataDon't worry about it? You are... too kind.
ArataWell, I guess that's that. We have yet another reason to investigate EDEN Syndrome.
ArataLet's expose the truth of this story. So we can get you your body back, too.
ArataHuh? What's wrong? Did someth--
ArataThis... This is...
ArataSo the phenomenon we're investigating just so happens to occur right where we've wound up? That's too perfect to be mere coincidence.
ArataJeez! This keeps catching me off my guard!
ArataHey, you're coming too, right?
ArataHaha. 'Cause we have a clear target now! Okay, let's go!
ArataUh, anyway, I'm headed your way now! I want to hear everything about what happened!
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 19 21 lines
ArataWhew... So taking out the Eater makes everything go back to normal, same as always. That's a relief!
ArataBut still.
ArataWe took down that Bakemon, but something is still controlling the strange phenomenon, and we still don't know what.
ArataSame goes with that syndrome. We didn't get any new info.
Arata!!! You! What are you doing here?
ArataAh, yes. Well, it was powerful. So much so that the Bakemon could transform after eating someone.
ArataA new theory?
ArataHuman data? What the heck for?
ArataAck! Hey! Wait!
ArataWhat? What a creepy thing to say. No, I...
ArataSheesh, I couldn't get a word in edgewise. And then he just up and disappears.
ArataThere really is something fishy about him. Is he really just interested in research?
ArataOkay, I've made up my mind.
ArataI'm going to look into things until I know for sure what Suedou and Kamishiro are really all about.
Arata... Huh?
ArataHow am I going to look into them?
ArataBy sneaking into Kamishiro Enterprises, of course.
ArataHahaha! It should be easy, right?
ArataAs long as we use your Connection Jump and my hacking expertise!
ArataBesides, we've got connections, don't we?
ArataI need to think up a plan. I'll be in touch.
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 1 15 lines
ArataHaha! Caught up with you!
ArataI was about to try to bust through security head- on, but it went down on its own just now. I don't suppose you did anything?
ArataI see. That Digimon you took out must have been there in place of normal security.
ArataDigimon aren't the sort of thing you can take out from the outside. Heck, usually you can't even take them out from the inside, either.
ArataI'm lucky you went on ahead of me!
ArataOkay, we'd better secure a line to Kyoko. Hang on a sec, Player.
ArataStill, this is a nasty situation...
ArataIf Digimon are being used for security purposes, then Kamishiro staff might be using them for all sorts of ends.
ArataCould this actually all be part of that jerk Suedou's plan?
ArataHey! I've gotten through. Try talking to Kyoko, Player!
ArataHey, we did it! We're reading you loud and clear, Kyoko.
ArataYeah... Here's hoping that girl does her part.
ArataHaha. You may have a point, there.
ArataOkay then, we'll head off to the "secret room"!
ArataI trust she'll get us the passcode, right?
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 2 6 lines
ArataWhat's up? Huh? We can't go any further?
ArataHey now, why do you think I came along?
ArataHmph. A newbie like you might not see it, but if you can find a point in the security net that's more strained than others...
ArataAh, here we go.
ArataAnd now security itself is our way in. Okay, let's go!

ArataWell, looks like this is the place.
ArataThe secret room, huh? Well then, let's see what secrets you're hiding exactly, shall we?
ArataBut that passcode makes me think. What kind of a woman is Kishibe?
ArataShe can't be anything like Nokia, right?
ArataWell, never mind. We've got some searching to do.
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 6 36 lines
ArataSorry to keep you waiting. Took some time to do a little prep work.
ArataAh, Yuuko Kamishiro. Sorry to have called you here out of the blue.
ArataSo, we have the Cyber Sleuth's Connection Jump, my hacking skills, and your connections.
ArataMy plan involves using all three of these in concert for the first time.
ArataAh, you don't know about that? Explain it to her, Player.
ArataI'll explain the main thrust of the strategy now.
ArataOur target today is the secret database on Kamishiro's Avalon server.
ArataBeyond that is a top secret area known as the
"secret room."
"secret room."
ArataYeah. Kamishiro's most confidential area.
ArataIn other words, the location of the folder for every Kamishiro CEO, including Kishibe.
ArataOnce that folder is open, you all can dive into Kamishiro's confidential database.
ArataMan, this detective agency is turning out to be scarier than any hacker team I know...
ArataThat's the plan.
ArataUsing a Connection Jump, we can get in as far as the confidential database.
ArataFirst, we use our Kamishiro connections to get us invitations to the preview event at Kamishiro HQ.
ArataRie Kishibe, the CEO of Kamishiro, mentioned it, right? It's a preview of the big update for EDEN.
ArataWe'll have Player infiltrate the confidential database from a terminal there.
ArataOnce in, send an invitation URL for the database to me, and then I'll be able to get in as well.
ArataYeah. Once we have the data kept there, we should be able to solve this whole thing, including figuring out Suedou's true motives.
ArataFor that, we're gonna need to tap your connections once again, Yuuko.
ArataThe passcode that gets us into the secret room changes every day, right?
ArataThe only one who knows the passcode is Kishibe. We need you to get close to her. You're the only one of us who can.
ArataWell, that's the plan.
ArataOnce we're in the top secret area, I'll override the security so we can communicate with Kyoko.
ArataYou can tell us the passcode via Kyoko.
ArataHuh? What is it? Don't tell me you've suddenly come down with a case of cold feet?
ArataOkay, I'm down with that. It won't make the mission any harder, anyway.
ArataWell, we don't know if the data is even there to begin with, but...
ArataWhoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second!
ArataThe Valhalla server? Oh, sure, go right ahead and name-drop that like it's nothing, why don't you?
ArataEven the most legendary of hackers couldn't hope to get close to that thing. It's got the toughest security in the world, all in one place!
ArataWho asked you? It doesn't matter. That server is no-go. It's not something we can just hack into.
ArataWhat did you say?
ArataIt's a gamble just infiltrating the secret room. Asking us to hit the Valhalla server is another matter entirely.
ArataI want nothing to do with it.
ArataOkay, then let's get this mission started!
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 7 24 lines
ArataOh, come on! They've got to be kidding! Blaming anything bad that happens to them on hackers!
ArataSuedou saw what we were doing, but he didn't say anything. Why? It doesn't make sense.
ArataThis is what we found in the secret room.
ArataAnd? What was inside?
ArataSo these Digital Shifts that keep happening lately are being caused intentionally by Kamishiro?
ArataThe person responsible? Who the heck is it? Cut the suspense and tell us!
Arata!!!
ArataSay what? That old guy?
ArataThe first victim? Who was it?
ArataI can't believe it.
ArataThey've been running EDEN all this time, hiding this information when there have been victims going back eight years?
ArataThere was nothing that looked like that in there. The only other stuff was some trashy panties.
ArataSorry I wasn't able to do more.
ArataThanks for your help, though.
ArataWhat? Hey, hang on a second.
ArataHey, Player. Go after her and see if you can talk to her.
ArataYou heard her, right?
ArataHer brother has EDEN Syndrome. Someone might be blackmailing her to keep her mouth shut.
ArataAnd then to have EDEN, her father's dream, hijacked by that Kishibe woman...
ArataYour body being in the state it's in gives you a stake in all this, too.
ArataI'm not in a position to comfort or encourage her. But you, you're good at that, yeah?
ArataGo on, then.
ArataDon't damn me with your faint praise, woman.
ArataWhat?
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 10 16 lines
ArataThis will help us recognize each other.
ArataThere's nothing to worry about. Anyone else will see us as different people.
ArataOkay then. Ready to get started?
ArataAw man, not this again!
ArataDid you just see that too?
ArataWhew... That's good to hear. Guess I DON'T need to have my head examined.
ArataBut what *was* that, then? Digital... noise or something like that?
ArataCould it be related to EDEN Syndrome?
ArataWe don't have time to think about this now. For now, let's just stick to the plan.
ArataYou need to find a terminal and do a Connection Jump. Contact me once you're in the database.
ArataDon't worry! I'll make a little noise to distract the Kamishiro employees.
ArataWhoa! This is incredible!
ArataSick! It's nearly identical to the real world!
ArataSick! Really just... sick!
Arata(Now! Go!)
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 11 5 lines
ArataHey, it looks like you got in easily enough. Now send me the invitation URL.
ArataWhat? You can't send it? There's a block on it? Hmph, stupid ol' Kamishiro database...
ArataOkay, I'll try and do something from my end.
ArataFor now, track down and break through the security so we can contact Kyoko.
ArataHey, hang in there! No need to be nervous over something like this. Talk to you later.

ArataYeah. It's called "Rie's Heart-Wrenching Diary." A library of top-secret Kamishiro information.
ArataWe've got a perfect copy. We'll wait to do the decrypting until we get back.
ArataBut can we leave the Eaters at the preview venue?
ArataRoger that. Player, let's go back to the agency.

ArataYou've really outdone yourself, you little hellion. I'm just glad things haven't gone any further than they have.
ArataIt's nothing like that. Jeez. Just calm down. I just don't want you anywhere near Under Zero.
ArataIt's juicy meat on the bone for JAJA...
ArataIt's a legendary meat that only certain celebrities are allowed to eat.
ArataYou want some? I know you do~ Here you go!
ArataHmph... She's so naive. This is why I say she's just a collection of single-celled organisms.
ArataOkay, then...
ArataWe've come this far. There's no turning back now.
ArataAlong the way, I'll stop Yuugo and the Zaxons too. You with me, aren't you, Player?
ArataBecause we gotta do this!

ArataThe leader of EDEN? Don't make me laugh!
ArataHeh. You know your stuff.
ArataYeah, we failed all right. But it wasn't the security that did us in.
ArataRight after we broke through, something attacked us.
ArataBefore we knew what was happening, we had our accounts destroyed, and lost access to EDEN.
ArataThat... thing was nowhere near as easy as the security was.
ArataSome of my buddies, they went crazy from the fear.
ArataEven the guys that were okay, they saw what they were up against and lost confidence in themselves. They quit being hackers, so I disbanded the team.
ArataI came to warn you. Keep away from Under Zero if you don't want to see your friends hurt.
ArataThe truth is, I came to stop that idiot Nokia.
ArataBut then I couldn't just stand by and let that thing prey upon you guys, too. It's not right.
ArataHaha. You think I came here with just the two of us? You're so naive!
ArataSorry to have kept you in the dark about this. These guys are my old buddies. The former members of the Judes.
ArataI've brought together my old teammates who broke into Under Zero once before for one last rumble. Looks like we've got a little fight on our hands.
Arata...
ArataIf that's how it's gonna be, then you're on.

ArataHer special blend? Is that what she said? I'm so happy I could cry.
ArataArgh! Who cares what you're called right now?! Do you have any ideas or not?
ArataNgh. I guess we have no choice!
ArataLet's go!
Chapter 10: To the Promised Land 12 9 lines
ArataAs always, Nokia is moving ahead on impulse alone. It looks like she's gotten quite far, too.
ArataThe other hackers have gotten into the Valhalla server and are heading for Under Zero.
ArataSomething doesn't smell right, though.
ArataThe Valhalla server shouldn't have gone down so fast.
ArataEither Yuugo invited us in, or someone else did. Either way, it reeks of a trap.
ArataAnyway, we won't catch up with Nokia taking the direct route, but there is a shortcut.
ArataThis is a secret passage my comrades and I dug out way back when.
ArataI... We took down Valhalla once before.
ArataWe can reminisce later. We'd better hurry and get to the Valhalla server!
Chapter 10: To the Promised Land 15 15 lines
ArataSo, you were training with them all night long? You're too much of an easy mark.
ArataYou'll never have enough time with Nokia. She'll use you up and spit you out. No thank you.
ArataWhat do you mean "as a bonus"?
ArataYeah, it seems that's all the hacker community can talk about now.
ArataWhat? A holy land? Don't be absurd. It's just an old, outmoded area on some old, outmoded server.
ArataWell, the leader being who she is, it's no wonder the simple-minded are coming together.
ArataQuit while you're ahead!
ArataThat's not a place newbies like you are going to be able to reach. You'll be beaten at your own game.
ArataLeave her be. If she gets herself hurt running off half-cocked, it's her own fault.
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...Oh, dangit! Forget it! We're going after her!
ArataUnder Zero is way too dangerous. If things go the way they did last time...
ArataAnyway, we have to go after Nokia.
ArataI've got a little "prep work" to do first. Let's meet in EDEN!
Chapter 11: Paradise Lost 2 11 lines
ArataOkay, the preparations are nearly complete. Now the others just need to rescue Yuuko.
ArataHuh?! You little rat! What are you doing here, Suedou?!
ArataHuh?! Is this your idea of a joke? Sorry, but I don't have time to hang with you.
ArataWhat? Distortions? What the heck are you talking about?
ArataDon't make me say it again. I don't have time for you and your jokes.
ArataYou're Kishibe's errand boy, right? You just came to interfere with our plans.
ArataYou're the one who created Digimon Capture?!
ArataWhat?! No!
ArataHey! Wait, you little--!
ArataDang!
ArataWe need to focus on putting a plan together. Otherwise, the others will...

ArataUgh.
ArataI came 'cause I heard there was gonna be a strategy meeting to talk about how to get rid of Kishibe, but I see our wild one is here, too.
ArataI don't care, as long as we can beat Kishibe. Let's get started.
ArataDestroy the human world? Seriously? I wasn't expecting it to be that serious...
ArataWe can't worry about the rationale for B right now. The plan's too bold as-is.
ArataAs vague as ever! You never change!
ArataI get it!
ArataThat network in Shinjuku where Player jumped was part of it!
ArataThis is the secret behind the EDEN Spots. So they're pathways, sort of like lymph nodes?
ArataIf we attack there, we get Yuuko. That's one victory, but how do we stop Kishibe's plan?
ArataIf B is needed to achieve A, then when B occurs, if condition C is needed to achieve A, then B will...
ArataWhat?!
ArataThat's it! You're talking about an analog method! In other words, knock out the power, right?!
ArataYou'd plunge all of Tokyo into a blackout. Leave this to me, Kyoko.
ArataWhat do you mean? I'm a hacker, right? And hackers can only do one thing, right?
ArataGather all my buds, and then we all hack into power supply systems throughout the city... all at once!
ArataWe'll play nice. It'll take some time, but we'll be able to keep the range of effect to a bare minimum.
ArataExcellent! Sun Tzu! "Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness!"
ArataThen we start on our objectives simultaneously. I'll leave Yuuko to you guys.

ArataLike I said, ask the questions one at a time!
ArataIsn't this 'hard-to-get' act a bit... beneath you?
ArataWe weren't the only ones that were worried. Kyoko kept looking for you the whole time.
ArataBut she went off the radar a little while ago.
ArataYou're not having any luck with yours, either?
ArataHave you looked outside? The real world has been changing ever since.
ArataThis is all they can talk about on the TV news. Know-nothing "experts" have theory after theory.
ArataI'm not worried about the Digimon. It's the Eaters who're attacking people indiscriminately.
ArataArgh! If only I could've stopped them faster!
ArataHow can you be so casual about this? Eaters are attacking people as we speak!
ArataIt's no big surprise. Usually hackers ARE up to no good in their day-to-day activities. But this time the real harm came when the hackers failed.
ArataBut what about your disappearance? What happened? Tell us about it.
ArataYou can't explain it? Surely it wasn't all just a dream or anything.
ArataI can't forgive Kishibe. She used the existence of hackers to her own personal gain.
ArataRoyal Knights are high level Digimon, right? Gotta find a way to fend them off, and the Eaters too.
ArataIt seems we've decided what we want... no, what we have to do.
ArataHey, Player...
ArataHey, your half-cyber body...
ArataThere is a large-scale Digital Shift taking place. It might be affecting your body, too.
ArataIt's me, right?
ArataI thought you'd come for me sooner or later. It's about that hacking case, right?
ArataThey've selected a scapegoat in the hopes of easing public panic, right?
ArataThat's how the big shots think.
Arata...
ArataThat sucks.
ArataWhoa, hey, Yuuko? This is getting a bit too messy.
ArataBut then again, you were "Yuugo." You'll know what I'm about to say.
ArataI'm not trying to take a stand, waiting for someone to cover for me.
ArataWhat happens when the cops finger all of us?
ArataThere's some stuff I have to do, right?
ArataLet's pretend that outburst just now never happened, Detective Matayoshi. You probably would have anyway.
ArataIf Yuuko and the others are guilty, then so are you. You got "information" from Kyoko, right?
ArataThanks. And I'm sorry, but I can't go along with your suggestions.
ArataMe, under the protection of a stodgy old adult like you? Yeah, that's not happening.
ArataThat's not it... I don't think the police will understand my story.
ArataI guess I trust you, though.
ArataSo I'm a wanted national fugitive now. One more item off my bucket list. Excellent!
ArataBut that means... I won't be able to stay with you all anymore.
ArataHahaha! Now who's the fool? When have you ever heard of a hacker backing down because someone told them to stop?
ArataHaha! It sure is handy, being able to summon up Digimon at will! With this I can get away no problem!
ArataOh, yeah, that's right, Player.
ArataYou really are too soft-hearted. I'd get that fixed, if I were you.
ArataAll right, then! It was pretty cool hanging out with you all! Ciao!

ArataHey. It's been a while. Imagine running into you here. Did someone put you up to this?
ArataI was just joking. By the way, how are you feeling? Your body's not getting worse, is it?
ArataVery funny. Who worries about a wanted criminal?
ArataBeen looking into Eaters while avoiding the cops and potential witnesses. The life of a fugitive is harder than I thought it'd be.
ArataI'll save the whining for later, though.
ArataSome of my buds were chased here by Eaters. I thought I could help 'em before they get attacked.
ArataBut you don't want to be guilty by association.
"Leave this to me, and get the heck out of here."
"Leave this to me, and get the heck out of here."
Arata...is what I should be saying, but I know you won't listen to me anyway.

ArataCut the crap, man! Always showing up whenever you feel like it! Are you sitting back watching this disaster unfold like it's a form of entertainment?
ArataDo you know what the Eaters are after?!
ArataMy goal? That's kind of random. There's no real goal in eating. If I don't eat, I'll die. I'm a living creature.
ArataThat's easy enough. We don't want to die, right?
ArataEvolution?
ArataSo they're eating in order to evolve?
ArataYou allowed Eaters to eat the Dimensional Wall so they could evolve? What are you and Kishibe up to?
ArataWall, door, portal. It's all the same! Never mind all that. Are you saying you had another agenda?!
ArataThat's your goal?
ArataIt sounds like you're talking about the very evolution of the human race itself.
ArataTo gain new power?

ArataYes, Suedou told me all about it. You softened up Examon, right?
ArataWay to go, Cyber Sleuth... Yeah?
ArataAh, okay. This one? This is the one you're worried about?
ArataIt's pretty convenient, being able to devour anything.
ArataEaters, Digimon... even human beings, really.
ArataI just... I want to eat and eat and eat and I can't stop.
ArataI can't help it. It's like I'm always starving...
ArataThe more I eat, the more power I gain. But at the same time, I'm able to feel less and less.
ArataThe strange thing is that it's not as bad as I might've thought. For whatever that's worth.
ArataDoes that repulse you? I suppose it would have to.
ArataHa... haha, hahahaha!
ArataHahaha, haha... What's that? What's the point of getting this powerful?
ArataIt's not like I want to do something terrible.
ArataThere was something I had forgotten to do for so long. And I finally remembered what it was.
ArataSo I'm going to finish it. And to do that, I need power...
ArataMore, more, more... More, more, more, more and more!
ArataIt's because I remembered! I have nowhere to hide. And all my escape routes are cut off!
ArataSo I'm moving forward. No matter what happens, I won't try to run or hide anymore!
ArataBut who cares about all of that?
ArataYou're right. Let's just leave that for now. The real matter at hand is this huge thing.

ArataI mean, it's been on my mind, too. The thought that Suedou could be using me.
ArataI'm sick and tired of thinking about all that. Let the clever ones sort out the hard stuff.
ArataAfter all, I'm still just a kid.
ArataI haven't grown or changed a bit since eight years ago. Still just a boy.
ArataSo I should act like one, right? Do what the "wise" adults tell me. Be good.
ArataThat way I get the power I want. It's simple give-and-take.
ArataThat's what I'm talkin' about!
ArataI've disappointed you, haven't I? We got along so well, up until now.

ArataI knew it. You are all idiots. Or jerks! How can you all talk like that at a time like this?

ArataHahaha! Ahahaha!
ArataTeeheeheehee! Hyuckyuckyuck! Hawhawhaw! Oh, my stomach hurts!

ArataWhat?!
ArataSo that was how you pulled off your tricks!
ArataAre you for real?
ArataWhat?!
ArataYou're talking about the law of causality, right? I was beginning to think along those lines, too.
ArataBut how do we get Yuugo out?
ArataWait, hang on. If EDEN Syndrome disappears...
ArataThat means Player and Yuugo can return to their original bodies, right?!
ArataBut right now, anything's possible.
ArataRescue Yuugo, and bring him and Player home. The grand finale will be a happy ending.

ArataWhaddya think, Yuugo? Think you can follow up the ladies' moment in the spotlight?
ArataI got it! I understand your confusion!
ArataThere's my bud! I'm glad you're making sense. I'm gonna start spouting tears of joy here!

ArataHey, knock it off with the gloomy expression. It's not like you.
ArataIt's really me. Is that the face you want to pull? What would Player think?
ArataDon't worry! We haven't seen the last of Player.
ArataAccording to the doctor, all vital signs are looking great. Player's gonna be fine, I promise!
ArataDon't be an idiot! What, you think Player's wandering around EDEN like a ghost somewhere?
ArataLike a certain someone we know?
ArataWhoa. Why so serious all of a sudden?
ArataHuh?
ArataHey, where are you going?
ArataWhat? Assistant? Me?
ArataUgh! Fine. I guess I'll hang with you, then.
ArataBut let's be clear on one thing... I'm the cyber sleuth, and you're the assistant!
ArataThat's non-negotiable. Hey! Are you even listening?

ArataYou're Fei, Zaxon's second-in-command, if I remember correctly. I've heard plenty of rumors.
Arata...It's been a while, hasn't it?
ArataThat again? Let it go, already. The past is the past.
Arata...Zaxon, huh? Guess you guys are all buddy-buddy now, huh?
ArataSo...what's going on with EDEN's hackers?
ArataThose guys have been acting funny lately. More and more of them are running amok. Zaxon claims to be upholding the peace, but I don't see it that way.
Arata...It wasn't this way back in our day. We were more free back then, weren't we, Ryuji?
Arata...!
Arata...
Arata...Ran away, huh? ...Can't argue with that.
ArataWe were more free back then, weren't we, Ryuji?

Arata...You can't protect EDEN through force alone.
ArataIf someone wants to defect, we can't just let them go. Not just anyone can determine right and wrong.
ArataAll I'm saying is that hackers aren't the type of people to be tied down by anyone.
ArataTo begin with, the way you guys do things is--

ArataHelp me out, Ryuji. My friend looks like he's going to get sucked into this.
ArataI'm asking other people I know, too. Like original Jude members.
ArataWe have to stop those hackers. Please help.
ArataYeah. It's not many, but a few came.
ArataPlease. You and Chitose will make all the difference.
ArataMy friend... He's really stupid sometimes. I can't just sit back and watch him get hurt.

ArataChitose came down with EDEN Syndrome while protecting Ryuji...?!
ArataSeriously?! Damn! How many of my friends has that woman messed with?!
Arata...Damn her! That makes me want to pull this off more than ever!
ArataWe're workin' on a way to stop Kishibe's plan.
ArataShe calls it her "Paradise Lost Plan."
ArataYou may not believe it, but with that plan, she's tryin' to destroy the whole world.
ArataHehe, yeah I know, right? Craziest thing I ever heard.
ArataWe're not exactly sure yet either...
ArataBut my friend says she's either a pawn of some kind of super-strong Digimon, or is a Digimon herself.
ArataYa ever hear of the Digital World? Supposedly that's where the Digimon come from...
ArataOh so you knew that, huh? That'll save us some time.
ArataWhat we call a "Dimensional Wall" separates the Digital World and the human world.
ArataKishibe plans on poking a hole in that wall and connecting the two worlds.
ArataIf she does that, a group of seriously scary Digimon called the Royal Knights are gonna come and wipe out all us humans.
ArataSo when we heard about Kishibe's plan, we decided we had to get together and stop it.
ArataI got a friend who's a great "commander," and he put together a strategy to do just that.
ArataWe're gonna hack into a big electrical plant and cause a massive blackout all over Tokyo.
ArataThat should put a stop to her plan.
ArataHey! ...Are you keeping up with all that?
Arata...Yeah I know. Destruction of the world, Dimensional Wall...
ArataIt sounds like a stupid comic book plot, huh. Even my old friends' eyes glazed over when I told 'em about it.
ArataHehe, cut it out...
ArataIt's almost time. Everyone get to your place and wait for my signal!
ArataSo that's about it.
ArataI'm worried about Ryuji too. But this is more important right now.
ArataI know how good you are. Will you help us? We don't have enough people to get into the Roppongi power plant's server.
ArataYour friends are waiting so you can go back to the store first. It's no problem, there's still time.
Chapter 11: Dimensional Collapse (HM) 13 HM 22 lines
ArataOh, you came.
ArataWho're you? You gonna help too?
Arata...Is a Digimon seriously introducing itself?
ArataRyuji's sister, huh. I knew about you, but we've never met.
ArataI'm Arata Sanada. Nice to meet you and all that.
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...Uh, yes.
ArataOkay then, I'll explain the plan.
ArataThe main objective is to cut off the power to the Metropolitan Office that Kishibe needs for her plan to succeed.
ArataTo do that, we need to blackout Tokyo. I say Tokyo, but I don't mean we just shut down all electricity all over Tokyo...
ArataWe just need to hack into the main municipal power plant and temporarily cut off the power supply.
ArataBut my colleagues and I will take care of that. What I want you to handle is the Roppongi Power Plant Server.
ArataIn Roppongi, besides the city power plant, there's a large scale independent power generation system run by a certain company. I'll send you the URL.
ArataSo that's the deal.
ArataI want you to break into that server and take the power system offline.
ArataYeah. That's why we're gonna hack into the security for all the power plants.
ArataOnce we steal the security controls, you can break in. We'll be done soon, so just hang on.
ArataI may not look it, but I was on the same team as your brother, okay?
Arata...Okay, it's done.
ArataDeep in the server, there should be an access point. Once you get there, stay put and wait for my signal.
ArataWe'll contact you once we take down the emergency backup power source.
Chapter 11: Dimensional Collapse (HM) 14 HM 7 lines
Arata...Huh? What are they doing wandering around there?
ArataHey! I told you we don't have control over the security!
ArataDamn! We could be screwed! If we don't do something, the admins are gonna find out they've been hacked into!
Arata...
ArataIf I let somethin' happen to Ryuji's sister and his buddy, I'll never be able to face him...
ArataI can't erase the entry log, but maybe if I replace it with my own account!
ArataHe he... Most Wanted List...here I come.

ArataHow strange...
ArataHaven't you noticed? We keep on looping back to the same place.
ArataIt's as if something's stopping us from going any further.
ArataHmm... I see.
ArataSomeone somewhere is tampering with the terrain data and distorting the entire area.
ArataThis isn't cyberspace, so they don't have complete control, but it's enough to stop us.
ArataI can only think of one person capable of this...
ArataExactly.
ArataLet's get our own back. You know what I mean, right?
ArataCorrect. I see Chitose's been teaching you well.
ArataHey, you shouldn't take that attitude.
ArataThere'll be a battle when we infiltrate his cyberspace. Okay, let's get to it.
ArataIt looks like he's accessing this place from some cyberspace.
ArataIt must be because of a Digital Shift occurred here. The ball's in our court now.
ArataI'll reverse-hack his cyberspace and put an end to his little trap.
ArataDon't worry. I know what I'm doing.

ArataDon't try to play the big man. I made up my own mind to come.
ArataAfter all, I'm the one you want to destroy. Isn't that right, Ryuji?
ArataThere's no changing what happened. What do you want me to do?!
ArataYou've got it all wrong! Was I the only one responsible for Jude?!
ArataAny team that would break up without me was never a team in the first place!
ArataIf you valued the team that much, you could have kept it together!
ArataDon't blame me for something you couldn't do!
ArataQuit your whining, you loser!
ArataStay back. This is between me and him.
ArataHehe... You're a strange one. You remind me of somebody.

Arata...
Arata...
ArataIt wasn't that I didn't say why. It was that I couldn't.
ArataAt the time, I couldn't explain why I didn't want to carry on with the team anymore.
ArataBut I can say now...because I've "remembered" everything.
ArataThe truth is, when I was a kid, I wasn't able to protect my friend.
ArataUnder Zero wasn't the first time I'd lost someone.
ArataI was never qualified to lead anyone. But I'd forgotten what had happened.
ArataThat's what got our Jude friends killed.
ArataWhat I went through when we lost our friends in Under Zero all came flooding back. Not the memory, but the feeling.
ArataThat's why I left Jude, before I made the same mistake again.
ArataI had to get away, otherwise you'd try to make me leader again.
ArataThat's why I left Jude. Are you satisfied now?
ArataYou say you couldn't have done it.
ArataBut you would have made an excellent leader. Isn't Hudie a great team?
ArataFrom now on, I'm going to help all the friends I failed so long ago.
ArataOtherwise I'm nothing. I can't even face you.
Arata...
ArataThat's right.
ArataI'm going to retake the place where I belong. Goodbye, Ryuji.
ArataI've done my part. Now do what you want.

ArataDigimon and humans affect each other, through both good emotions and bad.
ArataIf a human is plagued by dark thoughts, the Digimon's power will be distorted. That distorted power then affects the human.
ArataI've seen that vicious circle occur between humans and Digimon many times before.
ArataSo those are Ryuji's actual intentions.
ArataHuh? Oh, this?
ArataI'll spare you the details, but I thought it was time for a slight enhancement.
ArataWhich reminds me, I was warming up and "ate" an Eater, but then I saw you.
ArataWell, a lot's happened.
ArataI think you could use my help.
ArataI was watching you for a while. You can't handle Ryuji by yourselves, can you?
ArataI may not look like much, but I'm pretty powerful. Nothing like an actual battle to work out the kinks.
ArataAnd you heard what Ryuji intends to do.
ArataHe's just like me, struggling because he can't come to terms with his past.
ArataThat's why we need to end this, right now.
ArataThen it's settled.
ArataDon't worry. I don't eat humans.
ArataBut I can't promise the same about Digimon.
ArataHahaha! I'm kidding. Let's go. We can't let him recover.

ArataCan I really eat for free, Kyoko?
ArataSo, the three restaurants we are going to are a Chinese restaurant, a sushi restaurant, and a teahouse.
ArataIt looks like each one of these places is in the Nakano building.
ArataWe can visit the places in any order. I'm starving, let's just go!
ArataYou must be blind... This place looks great!
ArataIf it's been deteriorating it means it's been here for a long time, which means customers have been coming here for a long time which means it's good!
ArataGreat, let's go in! Player, what are you having?
ArataThat was great!
ArataOhh, that was delicious! Just like I thought, this place is amazing!
ArataHey, what are you doing? ...Come on, let's go!
ArataWhat's up? You seem tense.
Arata...Awww, that's so sad!
Arata...Moving on... What do you want to eat?
ArataHuh? The omelet?
ArataUgh... You don't get it at all!
ArataYou know, egg was a desert a long time ago. If you eat something sweet like that, you will ruin your fish!
ArataWhen you eat sushi, you should always start with white fish.
ArataThe way the experts do it is they eat clean- tasting white fish first, then fattier fish, then sushi rolls.
ArataMmmm...so this is what an expensive sushi place is like...
Arata...You, you never knew what you were talking about, did you!?
ArataWell at least I didn't just order fish eggs!
ArataEverything you've ordered is eggs! You're obsessed!
ArataAlso, when you left the restaurant, you said
"Oaisou," didn't you?
"Oaisou," didn't you?
Arata"Oaisou" comes from the term "aisou wo tsukasu." It is used only by the staff to talk to the customers, never the other way around.
Arata...
ArataHey... Don't just ignore me!
Arata...Uh, what? I...I wasn't going to...
ArataCurry, pancakes, salty mackerel set meal... Looks like this place serves all kinds of food.
ArataSo, what are you having?
ArataAll right, let's go inside. ...Player, what do you want to order?
ArataThe price and taste are astonishingly good... The range of foods on the menu is very wide...
ArataJust what you'd expect from a Nakano restaurant.
ArataWow, you were really hungry today!
ArataThat's the first time I have ever seen one single human stomach take such a beating...
ArataWhile we were eating, this guy just kept talking to himself and never spoke a word to the rest of us...

ArataHey! What are you doing around here? You're telling me the great Cyber Sleuth is just walking around looking for a job?
ArataHehehe, just joking with you, if you're free do you wanna hang out?
ArataActually, this written challenge just came from some mysterious guy.
ArataIt says "In my hand I am holding a very rare out-of-print edition of the comic "Bakuen Delete." If you want it, accept the challenge!"
ArataBasically, this is a rare comic contest!
ArataWhat do you think? Interesting, right? We should do it together!
ArataAh, I know, I know! I'll send it to Kyoko as an official request!
ArataIf she finds out we're slacking off work to go mess around...Kyoko's gonna explode!
ArataIf you want the super rare comic you have to accept the challenge, right? Sounds interesting, eh? Let's take part! I'll go put in the request.
ArataOh, you're here at last. You're late!
ArataHuh? Ah, um...eh...that... I mean, this...this is...eh...
ArataPlayer. So, I was telling you about the written challenge from the suspicious guy, right?
ArataThat suspicious guy is a rare comic collector.
ArataHe brings participants in with the promise of rare comics and then gets them to answer fan questions he comes up with.
ArataAll over EDEN there are contest organizers--so called "game masters" who ask the questions everyone has to answer.
ArataThe way it works is that the first one to reach the rare comic collector will be presented with one of his best comics.
ArataYou can't just buy a rare comic from the collector.
ArataMan, what I wouldn't do to get that rare comic... I'm literally salivating at the very thought!
ArataWe've gotta do it! We've gotta win! We need to get our hands on that rare comic!!!
ArataHuh? You want to know what "Bakuen Delete" is? It's a long story, but a good one.
ArataNow you can get the contents of the comic on the Web, but nothing beats the real deal...
Arata...Hey, are you even listening to me?
Arata...Huh? You want to know who this suspicious guy who issued the written challenge is?
ArataWell.. Basically, ehm... you see... I... I guess nobody really knows, to be honest!
ArataOkay, so this is the starting point. The game master must be around here somewhere...
ArataLet's find the first game master and solve the first puzzle!
ArataHuh? You want to know what "Bakuen Delete" is? It's a long story, but a good one.
Arata"Bakuen Delete" or "Bakudeli" is set in a turn-of- the-century dystopia. "Bakuen" or "Bomber Garden" is the scene of a wild hero-and-heroine adventure.
ArataThe hero is Shoukyo Hakku. He's the head of the student council, a brilliant genius and a senior at a private school called St. Erase.
ArataNot just that, but he's an incredible hacker! Aku, Soku, Delete! He's vowed never to kill, he destroys evil hackers all in the name of justice.
ArataAt the start of the series he is a detective who can use hacking, but...
Arata....Huh? Are you even listening to me?
ArataWell, I did tell you it was a long story...
ArataWell, anyway, Bakuen Delete is now out of print.
ArataThis is a amazing chance to get the final volume of the comic, which is extremely rare.
Arata...Huh? Why is it out of print? Well, that's a long story, wanna hear it?
Arata...Well, it's just an overreaction. From when it was published, harmful hackers started to pop up in EDEN, and people feared the comic was to blame.
ArataBelieve it or not, they suspected the author of being a hacker himself and he was arrested. After that it was recalled and went out of print.
ArataIt was always just a minor comic with a few fans. The shops stopped stocking it three days before the arrest, making it an extremely rare comic.
ArataOh, this is a difficult question for you? Pfff, it's an easy one for me.
ArataThe answer is "Vol. 43, Frame 2," right? It's the scene where general Asimov brings him to the classroom.
ArataOkay! The second game master should be around here somewhere. Let's look for him and answer the next question!
ArataAre you the game master?
ArataLet's see, there was that guy and that other guy, so it must be...
ArataThe dog was called John, the cat was called Polish and the monkey was called Ekatarina...
Arata...Really? Is it Pyonkichi!?
ArataThe Top-Tier Game Master should be around here somewhere. Let's look for him and answer the next question!
ArataYou're the Top-Tier Game Master...right?
ArataHehe, that's an easy one! It's called "St. Erase Private High School," right?
Arata!!!
Arata!!!
Arata...I...uh... But...I don't know...
ArataUh...hmm... Which one is it...
ArataOh yeah! I think it came up in Vol. 18, the scene with the school entry application acceptance...!
ArataHmm...
ArataAhh... Damn it...
ArataCome on.... I know this....
Arata...
ArataI don't remember!
ArataHey, Player, can you go figure it out?
ArataIf you go ask some comic book nerds around the Broadway used bookstore they'll probably know... Please!
ArataIf you go and ask some comic book nerds around the
3rd floor of the Broadway used bookstore they'll probably know... Please!
3rd floor of the Broadway used bookstore they'll probably know... Please!
Arata...Oh yeah, that's it, it's a Kingston address, but I can't remember the number...
ArataNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
ArataOh! Player!! How did it go? Do you know the answer?
ArataThat's it! Kingston 5-8! That's it exactly!
ArataYES! I did it! Player, thank you so much!
ArataYEEEAAAHHH, Player!
ArataThe mysterious guy who organized this contest seems to be in the EDEN free area! Quick, let's go!
Arata!!!
ArataN...no... Really...?
ArataUgh... I can't believe it... I tired so hard...
ArataWell, what can you do? It was fun, so I guess it's not a total loss. It was a nice way to pass the time.
ArataOh! Cool! Yeah, definitely! Next time I'm the organizer!
Arata...Hmm? Oh yeah, I know this guy.
ArataHuh? I said he was "suspicious" looking?
ArataEh... n-no... I never said that...
ArataWell, I think it spices things up a bit, calling him suspicious and all that...
ArataActually, I do that all the time with my friends.
ArataThis guy is...well...sort of my "friend" ...or whatever.
ArataWha'...what is it? Is something wrong?
ArataD-don't say that! That's not true at all!!!
ArataWell, even so, it was fun, right? ...You should take part next time, too!
ArataI challenge you to compete in the next rare comic contest! You can be my rival!

Arata...Huh? You're looking for a romantic present for a girl?

ArataHuh? I'm a romantic? What are you talking about!?
ArataWhat? You're here at Kyoko's behest? I can't think why she would say such a thing...
ArataHmm... Romantic you say...
ArataThat's it!
ArataHow about something like poison and a dagger?
ArataWhat's with the face? It would be such a romantic present!
ArataYou know, like Romeo and Juliet? You've heard of them, right?
ArataIt's one of Shakespeare's tragedies. It's about the forbidden love of Romeo and Juliet...
ArataRomeo thinks that Juliet has died so he drinks poison and kills himself...
ArataBut Juliet is actually alive, and when she sees that Romeo is dead she takes a dagger and sticks it in her own heart.
Arata...So what do you think? Romantic, right?
ArataWell, I don't know. There's just something touching about such a profound and dramatic gesture...
ArataIt's a romantic present and that's that!
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...Bwahahaha! It's a joke! Just a joke!
ArataYou're the one who labeled me a weirdo. I was just getting back at you!
ArataHmmm...a romantic present...
ArataHow about a ticket to a theme park?
ArataHave you never heard that memories are better than possessions?
ArataRide the rides, see the parades, kiss underneath a starry sky...
Arata...Girls like that kind of stuff, right?

ArataHeh, that punch stung, I'll give you that.
ArataThat was a really childish thing of you to do back there, but...that's not necessarily a bad thing, either.
ArataHey, Player?
ArataUh...
ArataTha'...
ArataTh-thanks...
Arata...
ArataYou plan on staring at me all quiet like that all day or something? Cut it out, Player!
ArataIt's weird and embarrassing seeing that! I mean... I guess that's kind of your thing, but still!
ArataActually, to be honest...I have something I need to ask you.
ArataBecause of all that trouble I ran into, I'm starting to feel like I'm falling behind the rest of you in terms of sheer strength and whatnot.
ArataI hate just leaving all the cool stuff to you and Nokia, so...
ArataI want you to come with me for a little while. I'll file this as a proper case, so now you have to do it as part of your job, right?
ArataI have something I need you to do for me. I can count on you to handle it, right? I'll make sure to file the paperwork at your workplace.
ArataSo you'll come along with me after all? Great! Thanks a lot, Player. I mean it.
ArataThere's only one thing I have in mind for us to do and that's go out and capture me a really strong Digimon.
ArataAll the crap I've had to put up with lately has meant I'm short on new Digimon and that's not good, not in the least.
ArataBesides...I also have some revenge that I need to exact sooner rather than later.
ArataLet's get going, Player. We're going to Under Zero.
ArataI'm sure you remember, but to get to Under Zero, we have to go through the Valhalla Server. This won't be easy, but I trust you to get us through.
ArataI...can count on you, right, Player?
ArataWell, regardless, any Digimon and Eaters we meet up ahead will be stronger than anything else you've met before, so be careful.
ArataWhen I went with some Jude guys to take on Under Zero, we had been unstoppable in EDEN up until then.
ArataNobody could beat us. Adults, cops, nobody. We figured Under Zero would be the same way, even with its reputation for being impregnable.
ArataBut we hit a snag when we got to the outer wall... A security Digimon showed up and kicked our asses. It was a complete and utter wash.
ArataBack then, we didn't know anything about Digimon programs at all.
ArataWe were only capable of doing analog hacking, which made us completely powerless to fight back.
ArataAll we could do was grab our asses and run. Some of my buddies, they went crazy from the fear they felt there.
ArataEven the guys that were okay, they saw what they were up against and lost confidence in themselves.
ArataThe whole thing made it vividly clear to us that we were little more than a pack of arrogant brats running wild.
ArataWe let our pride get to us to the point where we bit off more than we could chew. The higher you rise, the farther you fall and all that.
ArataAnd one by one, people quit being hackers... It was the end of the legendary hacker group Jude.
ArataI felt sorry for myself and hated to see it go. It sucked being powerless to stop them from leaving the team.
ArataI also had a constant fear in me I couldn't shake. Just remembering that time was enough to make me tremble with trauma...
ArataI didn't want anyone seeing me like that, though. So I tried to buck up and make it seem I was fine.
Arata...So that's why I see this as revenge.
ArataI'll make that security Digimon's power my own and finally rid myself of this regret...
ArataI'm not the punk ass kid I once was back then.
ArataI'm better than that, better than my past... Now come on, let's go.
ArataHahaha! So you're still standing guard here. Color me happy. It's nice to see you again!
ArataHey, you remember who I am?
ArataDon't tell me you've forgotten now.
ArataHahaha! I knew it! I mean it makes sense, why would you!? You beat us so fast!
ArataBut I remember... Hell, I could never forget you.
ArataAh, yes. Of course. This is just how it went the first time, too!
ArataSeriously, this is great! Wouldn't have it any other way. You're perfect just the way you are!
ArataUnlike you, though, I'm a changed man. My legs don't shake and my mind's cleared up now! I've grown up!
ArataI'm here to get vengeance for my friends! I'll kick your ass and march right on through!
ArataI won't lose this time! Not with my friend Player at my side here!
ArataYou know what? I feel...at peace now.
ArataI've probably been a burden to you guys with the Digimon I've kept with me up until now.
ArataBut now that I've got this guy...I think I can go on with you all. I want to see this thing through to the end.
Arata...Haha, don't make me say it. Seriously.
Arata... Dammit, didn't I tell you before? Quit with the staring already! Jeez!
ArataI think with that, this case is closed now, so... Thanks. I'm...going to stay here a little longer and think, if that's all right with you.

ArataThose "slithery monsters" must be Eaters.
ArataDid Shingo go to investigate them? Why would he do something so stupid?
ArataOh, I saw something on the CCTV camera footage.
ArataIt's pretty grainy, so I can't be a hundred percent sure, but it shows someone who looks like Shingo going into the museum.
ArataThere's a good chance that's where he is.
ArataPeople reported seeing Eaters and hearing screams at the museum. There's no time to lose.
ArataYou can go now. I'll handle things from here.
ArataYou heard what people said. The museum's a den of Eaters and Digimon.
ArataYou've done enough by collecting information on Shingo. I don't want to put you in harm's way.
ArataYour own accord? That line makes me think of Chitose.
ArataThe very end? That stubbornness makes me think of Ryuji.
ArataOkay, but be careful.
Hacker's Memory 91 HM 9 lines
ArataWe should be safe here. Shingo, can you make it back by yourself?
ArataI don't want to cause you any more trouble. I'll think of something.
ArataIt's not your fault.
ArataWhen I left the group, I thought I was ready to go it alone. But when I found myself relying on you, I realized I was kidding myself.
ArataAll this has brought it home to me.
ArataSo now I'm determined to deal with things on my own, without relying on anyone.
ArataI don't want to see my friends get dragged into this.
ArataSorry! I've made up my mind! Goodbye Shingo, Player!
ArataThanks for everything! With any luck, we'll see each other again someday!

ArataDon't act so surprised. I'm sure you've seen the news?
ArataI've been placed on the wanted list because of the screw-up with the Tokyo blackout you helped with.
ArataYou must be pretty excited, seeing a real live outlaw in the flesh, but try not to make a scene.
ArataWe'll be arrested on sight.
ArataDon't look so worried. It's not your fault.
ArataIt was all me. All because I wanted to protect my pride. Don't worry.
ArataI'm in trouble if you can't keep it together. After all, I called you out here for a case.
ArataI can count on you, can't I?
ArataThanks. A lot's happened; there aren't many people I can turn to for help right now.
ArataI actually want you go to Ueno with me.
ArataI need to keep a low profile right now. A friend from Jude said he'd let me hide at his place...
ArataBut I can't get in contact with him.
ArataI don't know why. But I can't just go and ask around. That's why I need your help.
ArataMy friend was in Ueno when I last made contact. Start by asking around there.
ArataBy the way, did you find Ryuji?
ArataI see. Sorry I asked.
Hacker's Memory 476 HM 26 lines
ArataFinished at last. Good job.
ArataBut what could you have done to provoke them?
ArataStuff like this has been happening a lot since you joined your team. It must be hard.
ArataAnd it's bad enough for you to come asking for my help. Has Hudie been busy lately?
ArataDoesn't it make you tired spending so much time online? At any rate, be sure to get some rest.
ArataSpeaking of which, whenever I got to take a break from Jude, I'd spend time with Ryuji and Chitose.
ArataI bet you can't guess what we used to do?
ArataNope. Although I do like gaming.
ArataChitose sometimes plays with me, but not Ryuji.
ArataWe actually played catch.
ArataCorrect! You didn't even need a hint.
ArataSpending so much time on computers hacking makes your eyes tired.
ArataIt makes you want to get away from your computer for a complete change of scenery.
ArataHahahaha! I can't imagine the three of us getting together for a karaoke session!
ArataI did go once with members of Jude. Ryuji's voice isn't half bad!
ArataThe three of us actually played catch.
ArataAlthough we very rarely actually caught the ball.
ArataThe game's called catch, but Ryuji used to fling the ball really hard!
ArataHe always had a triumphant look on his face when one of us failed to catch it! I'm sure he doesn't understand the object of the game.
ArataChitose would shout something every time:
Arata"Even a dog could have caught that!" Then he'd laugh at me. He always watched, never joined in.
ArataSo it wasn't exactly catch, but something similar.
ArataWe used to spend so much time laughing about silly things.
ArataOh, is that the time? I've got somewhere to be. We can finish this next time.
ArataBy the way, you can have this. I don't need it.
ArataI'm off. See you.

ArataEveryone's gone home at last. Well done.
ArataOh? That's your Digivice, isn't it? Got a message?
ArataWhat's up? Did you get a strange message? Let me take a look.
Arata...
ArataHahaha! What's that?! The wording's almost exactly the same! That's hilarious!
ArataYou're a hacker. How could you catch such a simple virus?
ArataThere's no point deleting the message. You'll just get another one. That's how these viruses work.
ArataHold on a sec.
ArataAll done. The virus is gone.
ArataI deleted the virus and beefed up your defenses. I'm surprised you stayed safe as long as you did with that level of security.
ArataYou're still new to hacking, aren't you?
ArataYou're an expert on Digimon, but this really is Hacking 101. I guess you're still learning?
ArataWhat are you talking about? Anyone can do that, so it's a walk in the park for a hacker.
ArataBut I don't think many people could do it as fast as me.
ArataThat's nothing to do with it. Anyone can do that, so it should be a piece of cake for a hacker.
ArataYou need to get your act together.
ArataI guess you are still new to all this.
ArataIf you want, I can teach you some basic hacking knowledge and skills, in the field.
ArataGreat.
ArataBut I'll warn you, I'm not as lenient as Chitose.
ArataBy the way, do you want this? I brought more than I need.
ArataWe'll start your training next time. We're done for today.
Hacker's Memory 478 HM 27 lines
ArataWe showed them who's boss. Nicely done.
ArataHey, don't move. Stay right there. You know what's wrong, don't you?
ArataExactly. The data for that floor is old. It could fall at any moment.
ArataI guess you would've noticed even if I hadn't said anything.
ArataYour hacking has really come a long way since last time, but you've still got a lot to learn.
ArataWhich reminds me... I wonder what I should charge you as tuition?
ArataWhat? Did you think I was teaching you for free? Surely you know you can't get something for nothing these days?
ArataSo...
ArataI see. So shall we call it...50 thousand yen?
ArataHahaha! Just kidding. I'm sure Ryuji and Chitose would have something to say if I took your money.
ArataLet's do something more interesting.
ArataHow about you try to become a better hacker than me?
Arata"The student becomes the master!" Yeah, it's like something out of a movie.
ArataAlthough I know it will be a long time before you actually surpass me...
ArataHey, don't be like that! What are you imagining?!
ArataYou know I'm kidding, right? Ryuji and the others would kick my butt if I did anything weird to you! Not that I'd do something like that!
ArataWhat do I mean by "something like that"? Hmph, what am I going to do with you...?
ArataI know. Try to become a better hacker than me. That's how you can pay your tuition fees.
ArataYou think it's impossible? Well, it is still a long way off.
ArataSurpassing me? You? That's ambitious.
ArataLike I said, everything I've taught you is basic stuff for a hacker.
ArataBut surpassing me... Well, that's like something out of a movie!
ArataVery well. I'll accept that instead of tuition fees. Although I guess it'll be a very long time before you become a better hacker than me.
ArataBut I know you have it in you.
ArataI'll be waiting with anticipation. I can't wait to see how you develop.
ArataAnd take this. It tastes pretty good.
ArataThere's never a dull moment when I'm with you! Don't be a stranger!

ArataHuh? You want ME to help? Well...whatever.

ArataUgh, all this nerd play... I was wondering when you'd call me again. Who're we after today?
ArataWhy don't you just invite Ryuji or Chitose next time? I can't imagine having me along is a thrill.
ArataThat was all right! I'd like to come with you again sometime. I think I'm starting to get why Ryuji's so taken with you.
ArataBeing with you reminds me of my time in Jude. ...Because it's fun, I mean. Sheesh, do I have to spell it out?
ArataNow to bring down the enemy leader. You play this like you see it.
ArataHere they come. Let's welcome them with open arms.
ArataNot that into playing defense, but sure.
ArataDividing our forces, huh? That works sometimes, yeah.
ArataListen, I'm guarding your back. Let me handle the emblems and let's wipe out anyone who tries to stop us!
ArataUgh, we let an emblem slip away. Not a good look. Get your head right.
ArataWell, one or two emblems isn't the end of the world. Keep cool and let's go.
ArataBetween the two of us, we'll make it through this nonsense. What's our next move?
ArataOkay. Meet you soon.
