-**Allen's subscenario: Meeting Shion**
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration, Allen]
-Do you know?
-What's being entombed in the grave isn't just the body of a deceased person.
-In the dark, cold, deep, and still ground,
-there is one other thing that is being laid to rest.
------------------------------------------------------
-[Title]
------------------------------------------------------
-Allen:
-Um, Hi. I'm Allen Ridgeley.
-This spring, I graduated from Borromeo University's information
-engineering department, and began working here at Vector Industries.
-Starting today, I was assigned to
-the prototype OS design department of First Division.
---Pleased to meet you all.
-Kevin:
-Welcome, Mr Ridgeley.
-I am Chief Winnicot.
-If you have any questions at all,
-please feel free to ask your mentor here, Miss Uzuki.
-Shion:
-Nice to meet you, Allen.
-I'm Shion Uzuki.
-Allen:
-N- Nice to meet you, too!
-(Whoa, she's beautiful... I'm so lucky to have someone
-like her as my mentor...)
-Kevin:
-Isn't it great, Miss Uzuki?
-This means even you get to have the junior you've hoped for
-since starting here a year ago.
-Shion:
-Yes, I'm glad to know that, now, all those days of being forced to
-do bothersome chores from a mean-spirited boss are finally over.
-Kevin:
-Hey, hey... you shouldn't say such things right in front of the
-mean-spirited boss himself.
-Shion:
-Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't, huh-- hehe.
-By the way, Allen, that was a joke.
-Let's work well together, shall we?
-Allen:
-Y- Yes ma'am!
-Kevin:
-I heard you're a graduate of Borromeo.
-Well then, we're both alumni together. I have high hopes for you.
-Allen:
-Oh, you went to Borromeo, too, Chief?
-Umm-- I have a brother 4 years older than me...
-Maybe you guys were classmates?
-His name is Alan Ridgeley---
-Kevin:
-I'm sorry-- I don't remember him.
-I don't expect that we were in the same class.
-Shion:
-That's for sure.
-The Chief graduated 10 years ago when he was 15 years old.
-Allen:
-F-- Fifteen? He graduated Borromeo at fifteen??
-Kevin:
-Actually, there are a lot of advanced young people here.
-Miss Uzuki is still only, what... 18?
-Shion:
-I turned 19 last month!
-Allen:
-Uhh, she's even younger than me?!
-(Wow-- In my hometown,
-a Borromeo graduate at 21 is almost unheard of--)
-Shion:
-Ah... um... does that bother you--?
-Allen:
-N- No! My mentor is my mentor...
-So please, teach me all sorts of things!
-Shion:
-Not at all... In fact, Allen, please help me with all sorts of things, too.
-Allen:
-Y- yes ma'am--
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration over image of Kevin, Shion, & Allen overlooking the Archetype]
-{{:scene15.png?200|}}
-And so, this is how my life at Vector began.
-Life as a working man had its share of anxieties,
-and although a delightful miscalculation, it was as wonderful as Heaven.
-That's because there were so many opportunities to program
-together with Miss Uzuki, my immediate senior and mentor.
-Why was it Heaven to be with her?
-It may not be necessary to dare speak about that.
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration, over blackness]
-Then... a year passed.
------------------------------------------------------
-Jessie:
-Huh? That's strange---
-Allen:
-*gasp* Miss Jessie!--
-Gunph--- ughhghhhhghhgh!
-Jessie:
-A-- Ah? What made you choke on a sandwich?
-Here, have this iced coffee.
-Allen:
-Mnph...--*gulp*gulp*gulp*
-Bwhaa---
-Ah, thanks so much.
-Miss Jessie, you're a lifesaver!
-Jessie:
-What? That's an exaggeration.
----Anyway, this is the first time I've seen
-you take your lunch here at his park.
-That bench is always my assigned seat.
-Allen:
-Oh? Oh, I'm sorry.
-I'll get up right away--
-Jessie:
-It's alright. This bench is big enough to seat two.
-I can sit on this half.
-Allen:
-Ah, Ok---
-Jessie:
-Oh, I get it... today, the Chief and Shion went to an academic meeting.
-You usually eat together with the two of them, don't you.
-Allen:
-Yeah, that's right--
-Jessie:
-This is the perfect chance, y'know... you should give it a rest.
-Allen:
-What? Why??
-Jessie:
-Ahh, so that doesn't mean you're doing it on purpose after all--
-Allen:
-Huh? Doing what--?
-Jessie:
-You three are a love-triangle.
-Only, it seems all three of you involved don't even realize it-- at all.
-Allen:
-L- "LOVE TRIANGLE"?? What are you talking about?
-Jessie:
-The Chief and Shion don't realize that you've got the hots for Shion.
-And you don't realize that the two of them are an item.
---- that's what I'm talking about.
-Allen:
-The Chief and Mentor Uzuki---?
-Jessie:
-See, you didn't realize after all.
-The Chief is stubborn and Shion is oblivious, but what's wrong with you?
-How did you not know about those two?
-Allen:
-Well... now that you mention it,
-whenever I went to lunch with Mentor Uzuki,
-I wondered why the Chief was often with us, too...
-Jessie:
-THAT'S-BE-CAUSE!
-You were butting-in on a couple's meal!
-Allen: .....
-Jessie:
-Aw, don't let it get you down...
-Allen: .....
-Jessie:
-I'll treat you to this soup, too, so...
-Here-- chug it down, and cheer up!
-Allen:
-Um, thanks....
-...*gulp*
-Jessie:
-Listen, Ridgeley--
-You're a sheltered kid, but...
-...you seem like a rare type of kid, who I want to keep from getting hurt.
-So, I'll give you some advice.
--- Please give up on Shion.
-Allen: .....
-Jessie:
-The Chief and Shion... well, they're an extremely compatible combination.
-They each have plenty of what's lacking in the other,
-and they complete each other nicely.
-As for you, well... you can't mend what's broken in Shion.
-Allen: .....
-Jessie:
-Of course, it's hard to say for sure about them
-by guesswork seen from the fringes,
-But that's how I see it.
-If you believe my experience and intuition,
-don't forget what I said just now.
-Allen: .....
-Jessie:
-Well then, I'm off.
-Starting tomorrow, I'll hand over this bench to you exclusively.
-See you later...
-Allen: .....
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration, over blackness]
-That day, I continued to think for a long time
-about the words Jessie said---
-And, no matter how I thought,
-I could come to only one conclusion.
-Her words were...
-..."completely correct".
-But, I'm a person who's bad at giving up, it seems.
-However little hope there is, I will say only how I feel.
-Therefore, even if I can no longer enjoy my lunch
-with that person, it doesn't matter.
----yes, because I had made up my mind.
------------------------------------------------------
-[Allen is outdoors on a rainy night]
-Allen:
---wow, what's with this rain!
-[--Lightning--]
-Allen:
-Geez, I've been on a business trip to the Dammerung for over a week,
-so I forgot how it was a natural phenomenon.
-I guess I prefer a colony environment to a planet after all.
-Aaa, I'm soaking wet--
-At least the souvenir box is ok.
-(Today is the activation test of KOS-MOS with the prototype OS installed.
- Finally, she's starting up...)
-(She was launched by everyone tonight.
- When I see them, I'm sure I should get a chance to hand over the gift.)
-But if I don't return soon--
-Alright, I'll run to the lab!
------------------------------------------------------
-[Allen returns to a destroyed lab]
-Allen:
-----w- what happened?
-Th- this is awful--
-What could have possibly happened
-to devastate the lab like this?!
-Investigator:
-Hey, step back! Step back!
-No one is allowed to enter here...
---- huh? Your uniform...
-Are you someone involved in this place?
-Allen:
-I'm one of the development staff!
-What the hell happened?
-Investigator:
-A running-out-of-control accident.
-It seems the android being developed went on a rampage.
-Allen:
-Oh my god... KOS-MOS?
-Investigator:
-Ah, perfect... could you cooperate with us?
-We were looking for someone connected.
-Allen:
-Cooperate?
-Investigator:
-There are several corpses with severe damage.
-I was hoping you could try to positively identify them
-from the uniforms and such.
-Allen:
-S-several... corpses??
-Investigator:
-Look... everything seems to be in that bag over there--
-Allen:
-!!!!!
-Uuhhh---
-Hans... Chow...
-And this is... Vans...?
-!
-Oh no...
-Even Jessie...
-Why? Why would something like this---?
-Investigator:
-And this person looks like he's somehow the one in charge of this place.
-Just before he stopped breathing,
-he was able to report the outbreak of the incident to us.
-Thanks to that, we were able to start our initial investigation quickly.
-Allen:
-Oh---!
-Chief Kevin...
-I can't... believe this...
-(Chief, you were my rival, but
-I didn't hate you, by any means---)
-(Your logic, your passion...it was all what I aspired to be--)
-Investigator:
-But, the strange thing is...
-From this point, all the bodies over there
-aren't Vector personnel.
-Why in the world are there so many of them---
-...even bodies in military garb---?
-Allen:
-Uh-- So, this is all of the personnel... right?
-Investigator:
-Uh... yeah... that's right, but...
-Allen:
-Um, so... as for the injured---
-You must have carried out one young woman, right?
-Oh yeah! And KOS-MOS--
---the android that went berserk!
-Investigator:
-Whoa, hang on a second,
-We just arrived now, too.
-We've only just called for the ambulances,
-so no one's been carried out yet.
-Allen:
-Then that means---
------
----They're still out there!
-[Allen runs off]
-Investigator:
-H- Hey, you!
-We haven't inspected over there yet!
------------------------------------------------------
-[Starts off in darkness]
-Allen:
-*heavy breathing*
-Somewhere--- I'm sure they're somewhere!
-Mentor Uzuki... and KOS-MOS---
-KOS-MOS is no longer operational---
-Which means, Miss Uzuki stopped her...
-I'm sure I can't be wrong about that.
-So, then how---?
-If I can think like them, I'll know,
-and then I'll also understand where Miss Uzuki is!
----As much as my mentor is a master of martial arts,
-she's no match for KOS-MOS's mobility.
-If that's the case---
-I know!-- a wide-open space with nowhere to hide.
-She'll confront KOS-MOS head-on
-at a place that's easy to predict her movement.
----- there's no other way.
-If so, then....
-....
-the roof---!
------------------------------------------------------
-[Allen on the rooftop, in the rain. Shion is unconscious]
-Allen:
-Mentor Uzuki---!
-Shion: ........
-Allen:
-Mentor... Uzuki?
-----!
-Thank goodness, she's breathing--
-Miss Uzuki...
-She's alive---!!
-Rescue team! Hurry over here!
-There's a survivor!
-On the roof!
-Please hurry!!
-She's still alive!
-Uzuki--
-My mentor, Miss Uzuki---
---- is still alive!!
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration, Allen]
-Mentor Uzuki, thankfully, had only minor injuries,
-and was hospitalized just for observation.
-When her hospital days were nearly over,
-she began dealing with the aftermath with silence.
-When I thought about Miss Jessie and the others,
-I immediately began to cry--
-But right next to me,
-Miss Uzuki would keep working
-as if she were an emotionless doll.
-I was sure the KOS-MOS project would be suspended.
-And perhaps she and I would be reassigned
-to separate workplaces.
-Even with that threat continuing to loom,
-I still couldn't tell her how I felt.
-And then, that day came...
-The day that Chief Kevin and the staff, who had no relatives,
-were buried in the cemetery prepared by the company.
------------------------------------------------------
-[At Kevin's grave]
-[Shion is doubled-over in grief at the gravestone, as Allen looks on]
-{{:ssallen_00.jpg|}}
-Shion:
-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--
-Uu, uu, uuh, uwAAA-
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!!!!
-Allen:
-(That day was the first time I saw her cry---)
-(Clearly, gently, calmly,
-I saw such tears from her.)
-(Unable to find a comforting word,
-or even hand out a handkerchief,
-I gazed at her trembling back.)
-(...all the while, grasping tightly in my pocket
-the ringbox that had become soaking wet with rain.)
------------------------------------------------------
-[Narration, Allen]
-The moment I saw her tears,
-I finally understood.
-I couldn't help but realize.
-Along with the loss of many people's lives,
-so too did I lose my chance to say how I felt--
--- they all were lost.
-Yes, this day---
-It is also my intentions that are in the dark, cold, deep, and still ground--
-...Buried.
