Twenty-Eighth Order

[Ky's voice is audibly shaking as he makes this recording.]

I just got...another note. It...it says...

"Luckily, the dead monsters will never, ever be brought back!"

[A faint sound of someone's knees hitting a rug is just barely audible.]

You don't believe that, do you?

[sacred_thunder]

...I don't know. I just...don't know right now.

[heartofheaven]

I don't believe it. They're messing with our heads.

[sacred_thunder]

...I want to believe that, but... The idea of Minatsuki never returning keeps...emerging in my mind's eye.

[heartofheaven]

Lots of people have never returned. They get brainwashed permanently, they vanish... Does it make a difference?

[sacred_thunder]

...They weren't killed.

[heartofheaven]

There haven't been any bodies. Even if there were, they could be fake.

I don't believe anything in this world anymore.

[sacred_thunder]

I didn't mean the victims. Some among the first wave have come back to us.

[heartofheaven]

Then what are you trying to say?

[sacred_thunder]

It...it could be possible that Mayfield would simply refuse to resurrect someone killed within its borders. Not the victims; the suspects killed by the people here.

[heartofheaven]

If that's so... Then at least they aren't trapped here any more. Maybe they've gone home.

[sacred_thunder]

Or they are simply dead.

[heartofheaven]

Don't say that.
