17 Toy Soldiers [Voice: Japanese]

[The whipping of wind across the Latimir rooftop can be heard on the recording (because creeping on top of buildings is totally awesome, okay)...along with the completely obnoxious sound of a small bird going absolutely nuts thanks a lot Xellos. Kaoru simply ignores her pet's little tantrum, aside from clutching it tighter to keep it from flying

We're going to check out Spero for any other survivors or information. If we happen to find a scientist? All the better. Seifer seems to think there's one hiding somewhere over there.

Personally? I want the scientists to release those people who are better off back on their worlds, living their lives to the fullest where they belong.

Some of us have no choice but to stay here anyway, so it's not like they'll be alone.

[blacksheepgirl]

Hunting, then. I should hope this performance will have a better ending than the last, at least.

'No choice', hmm? I wonder if they even have consideration for such things.

[dontcallmegol]

That's about right. Hey, we gathered a good deal of information last time.

I doubt it, but it's no less true.

[blacksheepgirl]

And such intriguing information it was. But after all your efforts, you managed to lose hold of the real prize. Or did I hear incorrectly?

Perhaps. And who would you say has 'no choice'?

[dontcallmegol]

I doubt she would have been of much use to us.

... Me.

[blacksheepgirl]

You think it will be any different with one of the others?

...is that so? And what makes you so special, I wonder?

[dontcallmegol]

Depends on if they're sick too. And I don't mean a mental way.

I'm not special. I just can't go home.

[blacksheepgirl]

I suppose we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

Because you 'have no choice.' Nothing to return to...is that right?

[dontcallmegol]

Yup.

Something like that.

[blacksheepgirl]

If you did have that choice. Would you return?

[dontcallmegol]

... no.

[blacksheepgirl]

No? Given the opportunity to leave, you would not take it?

[dontcallmegol]

Really it depends. If I'm going back from the time they took me, then No.

If I'm going to end up in a better place, a different world than this. Then sure, I'll take my chances.

If I get to go back in time with the knowledge I have, then yes.

[blacksheepgirl]

Does this world hold no joy at all for you?

[dontcallmegol]

The world itself, no, just the people I meet.
