Um... I'm not available right now, so leave a message, I guess! I'll get back to you when I have a chance.

I heard you were in the event. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I get that it's not my business. I just wanted to be sure.

I appreciate it, Terui-san. Thank you.

Ankh is dead. I'm really sorry. I don't know if you knew him but he was in your block.

No, I'm sorry. He's someone important to you, isn't he?

He was my brother.

...so he is Shingo Izumi. But why would you tell me?

There's no reason to keep it secret anymore. And I kind of think that it would be a shame for people to just think of him as Ankh now that he's gone.

Hina. You don't know about death here, do you?

What do you mean? [ She can't even parse that sentence, it makes so little sense and she is so so sad. ]

This prison has technology beyond what the rest of the world is aware of. We're too valuable to them for us to be so disposable. What I'm saying is that they bring back the dead. Tomorrow when you wake up your brother will be alive again, Hina.

[ It... takes her a while to respond. ]

You don't have to try and make me feel better.

[ Ryu stared at her message for a long while before gathering the resolve to reply. If he was honest with her about his own loss, just maybe she would believe him. ]

I'm going to tell you something that I haven't willingly told anyone else, so listen. Before I came here I lost my sister. I know the kind of pain that brings to your soul. I wouldn't lie and give you false hope about something like this.

When Hidari told me what I just told you, I was unwilling to believe it until it was proven to me. Please wait until tomorrow before you give up.

I want to believe you, Terui-san, but it sounds so impossible!

I thought that something like "Deadmen" existing was impossible too, but I was proven wrong then as well.

[ Well. That's true.

Hina stares down at her communicator and wipes her eyes. ]

All right. I'll trust you, then, Terui-san.

[ Had he actually managed to do something right...? ]

I won't tell him what you said to me about his identity, okay?

Ah! Thank you very much. And please don't tell anybody else, okay?

I take confidentiality seriously. You have my word.

Let me know if there's anything else you need, Hina.

I think I'm fine for now. But thank you very much, Terui-san. I can't tell you how grateful I am.

I'm only doing my job. Don't worry about it.

A policeman's job is to help people, right? Well, I think you're doing a great job.

No one has told me that for a while.

Thanks.

Well, I think it's true right now at least.

It's [ Pause. ] my fault that he's dead. So if he really does come back, I can't put into words how glad I'll be.

You're wrong about that. It isn't your fault that we're made to play these sick games.
