Part 59: Ryoko Shinonome 4
Chapter 59: Ryoko Shinonome 4
Music: Just Because (Composer: Azusa Chiba, Arranger: Rikako Watanabe)
Consider Mr. Ida
(Mr. Ida. He didn’t die in 2064. He helped me when I got here. How could I… forget something that important?)
1985. I know what you’re going to say, I’m fine, all right?
I see… I just forgot to take my pills, that’s all.As someone with ADHD, I know that feeling! *laugh track*
Use Mr. Ida on Ms. Morimura
Where is he?
He’s been missing, ever since the battle in 2024. You don’t remember…?Note: Gonna break kayfabe here because I’m fairly certain this line is an error. Even just based purely on what we know, the Sentinel Infection Incident took place in 2064, not 2024, as can be seen in the Event Archive. That would be the assumed point of Ida’s disappearance. Even further than that, there are no missing scenes in the Event Archive in between “The Sentinel Infection Incident” and “The Day Mr. Ida Saved Me”, which is when Ida shows up in 1984 to pick up Ryoko from the police station. The only other event in between those two is one we’ve already seen, “The Boy From the Future”, when Juro Izumi appears in his Sentinel in 2024 before Megumi and Tomi. I don’t remember any information from my earlier playthrough that contradicts this version of events or makes what the game says make sense, so we’re just going to treat it as a simple mistake.
Anyway, we’re going to skip the rest of the preamble we’ve already seen here and just cut to the part where we leave the nurse’s office.
Music: The Plot Thickens (Rikako Watanabe)
Use Run Away on Tomi Kisaragi
Go on, ditch him!
And ditch him we shall.
This time, we’re going right instead of left.
My head… feels like it’s splitting…
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Consider Pills
That was the last of them… Well, maybe if you didn’t take them a handful at a time, girl!
(I need to get more pills. Before it gets worse… The nurse’s office should have some.)Consider Pills
(I’m out of pills. I need to get more from the nurse’s office.)
I didn’t get a shot of it, but Hijiyama here is referred to as “Suspicious Man,” heh.
I can try to help, if you’d like. No thanks. …… I suppose it’s to be expected, looking like this… 
I can take my pills without it. I’m not a child anymore. Girl, that’s bad for your throat.
Now, where are those pills?Consider Pills
(I’m out of pills. I need to get some more. And soon…)
Where are they?Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Consider Compatible Girls
She’s one of the compatible.
Music: Sneaking Suspicions (Kikuchi Yukinori)
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
This must be the medicine she was given.
Consider Ampoule
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
(The label says, NM0206.)
What is Morimura thinking? Why give Iori Fuyusaka nanomachines…?Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Maybe there’s something useful in here.Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Consider Medication Record
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
“Memory transplant… Attempt #7.”
It can’t be… Didn’t we hear about Morimura trying to perform memory experiments on her younger clone (Chihiro) too? Oh, and Ryoko’s head is pounding.
…… “Memory separation progressing… 3rd phase… As with Juro Izumi… Administering personality synthesis…”
Ryoko’s head is pounding. Through the distorted fog affecting Ryoko’s mind, the door to the nurse’s office can just barely be heard opening…
Where’s Gouto-kun?
Ryoko’s head is pounding. By this point, even her own voice is heavily distorted in Ryoko’s fragmented mind. It’s even affecting the music.
What does this… all mean? It’s a necessary measure.Music: Double Bind (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Urgh… What are you… planning… You’re in even worse condition than I thought. 
You need to take your pills. Answer me… What are you doing… to Iori Fuyusaka? My head…Ryoko’s head? Oh yeah, it’s pounding all right.
Maybe it’s time… Shinonome-san. How are you feeling? *still clutching head, does not answer* How much can you remember?
Tch…Ryoko’s head is pounding.
Okay, jeez, I won’t, game. You’ve made that very clear.
