ENDING E "Truth"
Give me that handgun!
"Cheryl...!
Give me that handgun!"
I try to take the handgun away from Cheryl.
It can't be...
It can't be, this handgun is...
Cheryl grinned and then placed the barrel of the gun against my forehead.
"Goodbye"
The voice of the girl rocks my eardrums.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire.
With my eyes closed, I waited for my consciousness to fade away.
However...something is not right.
I gingerly opened my eyes and saw Cheryl lying in front of me. Cybil was
standing behind her, with the gun in her hand pointed at Cheryl.
Smoke was rising from the barrel of her handgun.
Cybil glanced at me and then let out a long breath.
"Cybil..."
"Harry...
I am glad I made it on time.
Are you hurt?"
I forcefully stood and wrapped my hands around Cybil's neck.
"What have you done!
Have you lost your mind!!"
Cybil is not surprised.
With effort she remained calm, and pointed at Cheryl's body with her chin.
"Take another look, take a good look.
That is not Cheryl..."
I rolled over the face-down body and looked at its face.
"Dahlia..."
I look up at Cybil.
"You mistook her for Cheryl?
...You must have been hallucinating.
But that's all right, I am just really glad I made it in time."
"What is this all about..?"
"Dahlia and Kaufmann...
and also Lisa.
By chance I heard the three of them talking, so I listened in..."
(That wasn't what we discussed...) (Dahlia)
(Heh...
It's not like we ever had a deal in the first place.
I will take the white claudia.
Because I don't care for trusting you with it.) (Kaufmann)
(Kaufmann...
With this you are going to become very rich...
I have a good route for distribution...) (Dahlia)
(You people...
you're in cahoots with each other!) (Kaufmann)
(No one is conspiring against you.
Since the beginning everything has going according to plan.
You've taken care of distribution, right?) (Lisa)
(There is a record in which my share is clearly recorded...) (Dahlia)
(Ha Ha Ha!
That piece of paper is now ash.
Just like your daughter.) (Lisa)
"Then a gun shot rang out...
and a woman's scream reverberated.
Then for a bit there was a struggle, but in the end the man's voice ceased as
well.
I was hiding behind a pillar.
Dahlia came out of the room alone.
She didn't notice me.
She was holding a handgun, and her clothes were soaked in blood.
I tailed her without her noticing me to this hospital. Once she found you
she pulled out her gun once more and pointed it at you.
"To protect you I pulled the trigger on the gun I was carrying..."
In the dark hospital only Cybil's voice echoed on and on.
All the people in this world had become corpses, and only outsiders remained.
No...wait.
One person still remains.
Just one...
"I have Cheryl somewhere safe.
Well then, let's go to her.
She can hardly wait to see her father."
Cheryl...
No, not her.
There is still one other person in this world.
"Uh...yeah, let's go."
"You are about to be reunited with your precious daughter, for whom you have
been searching?
How about looking a little more excited?"
Something is...
Something is incomplete...
I began to walk behind Cybil.
A reunion with Cheryl.
I risked my life, and wished for this, but in spite of that my heart is
filled with emptiness.
Cybil's figure sways up and down as I follow her, and my entire body trembles
with extreme exhaustion.
Just where does Cybil have my daughter?
I think that maybe we are walking without no destination.
At that moment I was then...unable to see what Cybil was really up to...
The End
