Part 105: Episode 97: Shuu
I felt dizzy But I remembered everything that had happened That voice
Kawara! Pull yourself together! Do you want this!?
N no I dont !
Coo, coo! (Ryouta is a vegetarian, and shouldnt exert himself!)
I dont want to make anyone sad
The remitter reactivated ? Fascinating It should not have been possible for some hours yet.
Disease is half in the mind, after all. Outlook is surprisingly important.
I suppose this means my data was insufficient.
This is the end, Dark Sorcerer Wallenstein! Be judged by the Crimson Breast!
Wait Anghel its not just his fault
Tell me doctor Why did you go so far to grant my wish ?
Why did I grant your wish? My reason is nothing of note. It is not worth telling.
This was merely an experiment, that has now come to an end.
You must have had a reason. You arent the sort to go around talking to children without some purpose.
I want to know the answer to everything
Despite his protests, Dr. Iwamine eventually began to tell us the answer.
Hey, good morning, Isa! Sorry to spring this on you, but could you take a look at these?
What is it, sir? You seem excited.
Its amazing! The Healers we got earlier--
Healers ?
Ah, the HeLa cells from last month.
Yeah, them. From the unusually old human.
Aiding science even after death. Cant we at least call the samples by their proper name?
Youve always been serious like that, Isa. These samples are like sweet lovebirds! Touch them with kindness, and they respond beautifully.
Just how many lovebirds do you have, again?
Perhaps you should call them pet birds, instead?
Uuuh Maybe youre right.
Anyway, look at this! Weve been looking into cancer cell immortality.
This Indeed, these results are amazing. Youre quite lucky with these things.
Its all about love.
Or intuition?
That too.
Hey, good morning, Isa! Nice weather, huh? Makes me want to do something outside.
Its already evening. I believe one normally switches to good evening around now.
Its good morning whenever I get up, Isa!
Get distracted by things like common sense and youll miss the greatest discoveries of your life.
Sophistry?
Hey, good morning, Isa!
Woopsie, were low on cash.
Here, was this the one?
I didnt ask you to pick it up for me.
Here, take it. Its not like were running out.
You sound like a pushy salesman.
Your right wing is injured, right? If theres anything I can help you with, just ask.
Ive been doing fine so far.
Hey, good morning, Isa!
Hey, can I say something?
What is it, sir? I am somewhat busy.
Youre always busy If I waited for you to take a break, Id die of old age before I got to say.
Talking like this gets us nowhere.
Guess what! I had a kid!
Hmm I see. Congratulations.
Wh-what, dont you have anything else to say?
Not particularly. Reproduction is natural for all living creatures.
Of course, were I to become a father, I would feel bad for the child, given my habit of locking myself away in the laboratory.
Hey, good morning, Isa! I brought you something cool.
Hmm What is it?
A fossil! Look at it! Its huge!
You act like an excited child.
Hey, I like geology, too! Aah, it tempts me with spousebreach.
I will carry on your research while you are out, then. Go on.
Dang, youre cold!
Hey, listen, wanna come with me on a business trip sometime? Field observation is fun! My next ones at the start of the mon--
While I am interested in your work, sir, I am partway through a fascinating process at the moment. Perhaps another time.
Yeah? Ill invite you next time, then. I bet travelling with you would be a blast!
Field exploration is not exactly sightseeing.
I will make sure to open time in my schedule, though.
Isa. I always knew this was a possibility.
Yes, sir.
I dont regret the way I did things
No, sir.
But I just remembered. I do have one regret.
Yes, sir?
Ive never done anything a fathers supposed to do. Id promised to take time off, for the first time in years
I want you to do me a favor, Isa.
If you ever run into my son can you do something for him, in my stead?
A rather vague request.
Hes too nice. Hed never ask for something, even if he wanted it.
I suspect he inherited that trait from his father.
Haha Anyway, if you ever happen to meet him. You dont have to go out of your way to find him, or anything.
Hmm Very well. I shall remember. What is his name?
Ryouta. Its Kawara Ryouta.
The music stops.
