Part 74: All-Ice
999 OST: [Riddle and Puzzle]
Listen in: [English/Japanese]
That means all you have to do to put yourself in cold sleep is drop your body temperature below 96.8.
No fancy machine needed.
From Clover.
Clover?
When we were exploring the lounge during the first round.
I see...
...
Wh-What's so funny?
Oh man, you fell for that one hook, line, and sinker, didn't you?
Clover was messing with you.
That is if she even said anything to you at all.
It was a lie. A joke.
A joke...? No, there's no way it was a joke!
I'm sure about it! Your body is made of Ice-9!
[Music fades out]
Well, you're mistaken.
It's a ridiculous misunderstanding. An urban legend...
999 OST: [Digital Root]
Listen in: [English/Japanese]
And ever since then, I've had people say they thought I was her.
I mean really... how could anyone believe something so ridiculous?
The existence of this mysterious "Alice" and of this ice that doesn't melt are just urban legends.
...
It can't just be because your name is "Alice".
There are tons of Alices.
Is it because of your face, and how you look?
Can I really be blamed if people think I'm an Egyptian queen?
...
I don't think that's the only reason, though.
Someone who made that mistake said something to me once...
Of course, I immediately pressed the issue.
"Do you mean the mummy, Alice?", I said. "When? Where?".
Of course, they were at a loss.
In fact, I began to feel a little sorry for them.
So I told them something...
"But maybe I've lost my memory and can't remember who I am..." and so on and so on...
...
Even if she was just messing with you, it seems a little out of left field.
You really think she put that much thought into it?
She was probably just screwing with him, and it was the first thing that came to mind.
Maybe she wanted to see if she could get him to believe something completely ridiculous.
Heh... Yeah.
I could see her doing something like that.
...
[Music fades out]
The cold sleep business is interesting, but I don't think it's terribly useful.
We should go see if the other team has returned to the warehouse yet.
VLR OST: [Anxiousness]
Listen in: [English/Japanese]
It looks like another warehouse...
It looks like the same warehouse...
Three more doors...
They're all glowing white... You think...?
I'd bet on it.
They haven't all been the same color before...
We definitely need to tell the others about this.
Right. Let's head back to floor A.
[Music fades out]
I skipped sooooooo much door-opening.
Listen in: [English/Japanese]
You've finally returned!
I was beginning to get anxious.
Did something happen...?
Yes... It's Quark, you see. He...
What?
What happened to Quark?!
It happened so suddenly. We were just searching our room...
VLR OST: [Strain]
Please, you must hurry to the infirmary!
Clover is looking after him, but his condition could change at any moment.
You should go...
Oh no...
