Part 95: December 3 Part 2: The Unthinkable

-Traumerei: Reincarnation-



> Inaba Municipal Hospital, Nanako's room...Dojima is listening to an explanation from the doctor. There have been loud voices throughout the hospital for some time now...

Woman's voice: Doctor, this fog is poisonous, isn't it? Isn't it filled with viruses? They said so on TV! Isn't there a vaccine or something for it!?
Nurse's voice: Calm down, please. That's just a rumor...
Man's voice: Don't tell me to calm down! You're lying! We know you have medicine for this! Are you just going to stand there and watch us die!?
Nurse's voice: Why would we do something like that!?
What a commotion...
...What the hell's that supposed to mean!? Can't you see how much pain she's in!?
Doctor: All we can do right now is monitor her condition closely. Dojima-san, you need to return to your--
I don't give a damn about myself! Do something about Nanako--
Nngh...
Dojima-san!
Just save her...For god's sake, please save Nanako...
Doctor: ...We'll do our best. I must ask you to step outside for the time being.
Nanako...

> A nurse accompanied Dojima to his room...


This all has to do with the world you came from! Can't you figure something out!?
I'm thinking...I'm thinking, but...
Dammit! Why does this have to happen to a little girl like her...!?
Calm down.
How'm I supposed to stay calm at a time like this!? Can't believe this is happening...
Nanako-chan's gonna be okay...right?


How is Dojima-san doing?
His wound's opened up again. They're treating it over in his room now.
Any luck with your investigation on Namatame...?
U-Um...About that...I won't mince words here. We're gonna have a hard time making these charges stick.
What's that mean?
I talked with the guys at the station, and it'll be next to impossible to find him guilty in court. Especially given the reason why we took him off our list of suspects for the first case...
Oh yeah...something about him having an alibi...
Yeah, that. And the whole angle about him putting people into TVs...There's no way that'll stand up in court. No one would believe that...What the public wants is when, where, and how Namatame killed these people. And Dojima-san knows it...
Well, ain't you calm about this.
I-I'm just telling you the truth.
And you call yourself a cop!? Huh!?


Hey, stop--






Nurse: Hurry inside! Please talk to her!


No...Nanako-chan...


He'll be here soon.
......
Doctor: Nanako-chan...Nanako-chan. Can you hear us? Do you understand what we're saying? Your big brother's here with you. Just hang in there.
...Ngh....
Doctor: Where's Dojima-san!?
Nurse: We're calling for him right now!






Doctor: ......


I'm right here.
Mm...
