01 | accidental video | audio - translated from japanese

[The camera flips on, for several long moments there is nothing but blackness and the sounds of the city, as Aoshi holds the camera against his gloved palm. Eventually he does try turning it, there is a relatively clear picture of a street, buildings, pedestrians. It turns again, and you can see Aoshi.]

“Hn.”

[There is a close up of his face for a few seconds; as if he’s inspecting it closely then he pulls away. He clearly doesn't know what he's doing.]

“If…”

[The view switches back to blackness, then to the street again and back to Aoshi one final time before the video switches off.]

"What is this place?"

[It's a rhetorical question. Aoshi doesn't believe the communicators can actually do what he's been told they can do, so he's talking to himself not the network.]

Heh. Friend of Saitou and Misao's?

Friend of mine, at least! Oh and hello Kiryu~ How have you been? It's been a little while, hasn't it?

[laughs] One of my friends came in today too! Well...he used to be a friend, anyway.

Oh, how wonderful, Kyosuke! I'm happy for you! [Happy laugh] Then again I'm just really happy right now, anyway!

[more laughing] I could tell~

He kind of hates me, though, so...it's not really a great thing.

Oh, Kyosuke, I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I don't hate you? And we both know Saitou's really fond of you, and I never would have believed Saitou liked anybody!

Heh, yeah. I know that.

Did you know Saitou's married?

Oh yeah, I found that out months ago. Definitely threw when I did find out, though. I swear, his wife must have a whole heck of a lot of patience.

[snicker] I think you're just not giving him a chance. I have no patience, and we get along just fine~

Are you married to him?

[sputter] NO! But we live together. Good enough.

No, not good enough! Being married to someone isn't the same as rooming with them!

How do you know~?

Girls get "prepared" for marriage. That's how.

Really? I don't think they do that anymore...

Oh. They don't?

Not that I know of. It might be different in Neo Domino, though. But in Satellite? Hah. Here...heh, I'm pretty sure that's not an American thing.

It's always so strange when I hear how things are different. I mean, subways and motorcycles are one thing, but I keep expecting people not to change and they kind of do.

Anyway! I'm sorry about your used-to-be-friend.

[... also to make this in-game canon, somewhere Saitou is spitting out his cigarette]

[God, he is so sorry he opened his mouth...]

[Also, keywords.]

[Keywords right back.]

Aa.

I'm Kiryu Kyosuke. Just Kyosuke's fine.

Heh, looks like Misao's keeping you informed. I'm glad she has a friend from home here.

Shinomori Aoshi.

Aa.
