Takuto makes scratch number seven.


Takuto's bedroom - day

Takuto wakes up to the usual knock from Veronica.

'Something was different today, however, perhaps it's because of that nostalgia dream last night. The spectacle of the last Christmas spent with my parents recalled sadness and the loneliness that I had kept inside for a long time. In case of the accident. Grandmother and my relatives comforted me, [and the meaning was not considered from me who was the child deeply. And, the memory has been weakened before one is aware.]'

'Papa and mother's smiles that seemed to be happy last night awoke the memories from the day of the funeral.'

"[That is the monster, you were killed in the monster.]"

***They may be accusing Takuto, but this accusation doesn't come up again...that I've noticed.

'Were two people really killed by someone? I, who was a child, did not have the art of looking for the truth.'

CHOICE #22
1. Go to look for Ryouta
2. Go to look for Kou.

Takuto knocks on Ryouta's door. He's worried since Ryouta wasn't at dinner last night. He knocks louder and calls his name when Ryouta doesn't answer the first time. Ryouta's frighten voice comes through the door. Takuto asks him if he's alright. He missed dinner.

Ryouta: "...I'm okay."

Takuto: "...Ryouta? Why haven't you opened the door?"


Ryouta in chains

Ryouta opens the door. He's wearing the clothing that Veronica brought him. Ryouta claims it's because his head hurts still. He's trying to avoid the conversation about his clothing.

Takuto: "Clothes...did you change clothes?"

Ryouta says they took his clothes because they were dirty and he didn't want to walk around naked. Ryouta rubs at the collar. It's unpleasant and he's angry he has to wear it but the house maid said "not to disobey the master." Ryouta goes back into his room and shuts the door.

'I was puzzled at Ryouta who seemed to be ill-humored was irritated a little. It was the first time I saw Ryouta like that. After we began lived together at Arecshio, such an attitude was not shown.'

CHOICE #23
1. Knock again
2. Leave.

Takuto knocks on the door and asks what's wrong. He calls Ryouta's name again but there's no answer. Takuto goes back to his room, irritated and disappointed.

(Dining room)

'There was no appearance of Ryouta at the table when I was guided by Veronica to the dining room. As for meal, only my amount is prepared.'

Veronica: "Ryouta said that it would eat in his room today."

Takuto: "Today?"

Avoiding the question, Veronica asks him what he wants to drink. He asks for red wine.

Takuto: "Veronica...Ryouta seemed to be unwell."

Veronica says he drank some herb sake and had trouble sleeping. She leaves. Takuto sits down at the empty table. He doesn't have much of an appetite tonight.

(Hallway)
Takuto sees a flash of black hair the way back to his room. It's Ryouta. He follows him to the wine cellar.

CHOICE #24
1. Run after Ryouta.
2. Return

It was hard to consider Ryouta going into the cellar when he doesn't like alcohol. He runs after Ryouta.


Wine Cellar

Ryouta's looking around on the floor. Takuto calls his name and scares the shit out of him. Takuto tells him that Veronica said he was having trouble sleeping. Ryouta asks if it's strange for someone under these circumstances to have trouble sleeping.

'Ryouta begins to go up the stairs like refusing the conversation. (Ryouta suggests they go back to their rooms) Ryouta leaves, as if running away.

'What were you doing? What were you looking for?'


Makita's Earring

Takuto: "Makita-san..."

Takuto: (Can I do nothing but directly confirm it with Haishima after all?)

Takuto climbs into bed imagining the last time he saw the girl
