Tokyo, Public Safety Bureau

Everyone, please remain seated and listen.

This is the person from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs I told you about earlier.

I'm Frederica Hanashiro.

As of today, I've been sent out on loan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the the Public Safety Bureau.

As an Assistant Inspector,

I will have the privilege of studying everyone's investigation methods.

This is part of the inter-ministerial personnel exchange promoted by the Cabinet Secretariat. Right?

Why now though... I wonder.

2 months ago,

the Public Safety Bureau launched an international investigation of the crimes that occurred in the Southeast Asia Union.

If you had made a mistake, and interfered with the internal politics of other countries,

it could have easily turned into an international conflict...

From now on, in case a similar incident occurs...

I hope you will work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Is someone within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dissatisfied with the state power of the Sibyl System?

Not at all.

Well then... Next, I will introduce you the Analyst.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Frederica Hanashiro...

It seems that she was in charge of the overseas investigations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

She takes care of her ministry's dirty work... Right?

Did you know about this?

I checked, of course. Because this was unusual.

Please. Don't get involved in strange political affairs.

Make some effort to avoid risks...

I...

Will always think about what's best for Division One.

Enforcer Teppei Sugo, right?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

If it's about work, you'd better ask an Inspector rather than me.

You...

Don't belong in a place like this,

the former ace pilot of the 15th Joint Task Force of The National Self-Defense Forces.

Lieutenant, Teppei Sugo.

There's a project by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

to form new units for paramilitary activities.

Are you a scout?

If you enlist,

your restrictions as a latent criminal will be lifted.

Back then, you were an excellent pilot protecting the land forces.

The First Guardian...

The thoughts that I can't let anyone know

dare ni mo miserarenai mono

Are flooding my head

atama no naka afurete

In a world void of even mistakes

machigai sae mo nai sekai e

mayoikonderu

I find myself lost

Plastic Tac Tic

Nobody can even go crazy anymore

mou dare mo okashiku narenai yo

kisama mo plastic beautiful world

You're also in this plastic beautiful world

utsukushisugi sekai ni

In a world that's too beautiful

boku wa nazeka hikari ga mienakute

For some reason, I can't see the light

haretsu shite yuku kokoro ga eternal reflection

My rupturing heart is an eternal reflection

secret remains for you

Fake plastic world

Don't reveal these false colors and futures

misekake no iro to mirai wo abakanai de

Fake plastic world

keep it secret motion

Okinawa

We've reached Tango-8.

This is Oscar...

First Guardian, can you hear me?

Loud and clear. This is First Guardian.

I can see two armed trucks from above.

I've also detected the armed targets from here.

We'll move in hitting from two points at the same time. I'll get the other target immediately after.

First Guardian, Roger.

Weapons on.

Two targets locked.

1 unit at 5 o'clock, south-southeast.

We've got the shot! Proceed!

What a great shot.

This is First Guardian.

All armed targets have been neutralized.

I'm handling the post support mission over to the local variable sweep-wing planes.

Roger, First Guardian.

National Defense Nago Base

(The old Camp Schwab)

15th Joint Task Force

Let's go with them.

No one else is suited for it.

Good work.

That was good exercise, right?

Oscar...

Otomo-senpai.

Then, Rin-san. The goodbye speech, please!

Well, yes...

Only a few know this, but a little while ago,

my Hue had become clouded.

The Department of Psychiatry has recommended a change of department.

It's just a precautionary measure.

I'm not going to become a latent criminal so...

You don't really have to worry.

Is that really the case?

To emphasize that seems suspicious.

Yoshida, quit making fun of my wife.

Itsuki.

My wife's Hue is clear and beautiful.

Honestly, I'm envious of how beautiful it is.

Oh, of course, she's beautiful inside and out.

Anyways, today's exercise as an Electronic Warfare Operator...

Has been the last with you all.

But from now on I will have to deal with the Nago Base...

As a Military System Engineer.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Well then! Let's celebrate today!

That's great! Numa-chan! Let's drink!

Noisy monkey!

You used to be superior in hand to hand combat, Teppei...!

I give up...

Senpai, you've put a lot of attention into the life log's update. Haven't you?

Since I could die at anytime.

I want to at least keep a record.

It's like "insurance."

Don't joke, please. It's bad luck.

If I die, cherish this sparring robot as if it was me.

I won't!

Are you and Rin classmates?

From training school.

Yeah, well. We've always been classmates...

But only that.

Hmm...

Hmm?

Say... Sugo.

Us from the special forces are types with a hard-to-cloud Hue, even if we kill people.

What's the matter? So suddenly...

I'm not drunk.

Next time... It will be a real fight.

Though with drones, we'll be killing people.

Murderers acknowledged by the Sibyl System...

Should that actually make me feel good?

What?

Sorry, it seems I'm a bit drunk after all.

Senpai...

I'm gonna have to use some medicine to get rid of the alcohol.

Stay where you are.

This is the Joint Staff's Military Operations Inspector.

Colonel Yoshito Takaesu.

Nice to meet you.

And the counselor for the Overseas Research Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mr. Fukita

Mr. Fukita will participate as an observer.

A Military Operations Inspector?

He's a big shot of the Joint Staff.

Besides, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' counselor...

Looks like a man who's never been on the field.

This operation is extremely classified.

Nago Base Garrison, Admiral Minatoya. Commander and Brigade Leader of the 15th Brigade of the National Defense Forces.

The target is...

As determined by the official Japanese government assistance, the Southeast Asian Union.

Commonly referred to as SEAUn.

The government forces will wage an offensive against one of the largest bases

of the military clans who oppose the current regime.

We will support them.

This is Plan No. 105 of the Ministry of Defense for Confidential Overseas Activities.

Alias Operation "Foot Stamp."

Again, this is classified info.

This is not to be spoken of to military personnel other than those involved in this case.

UF-2, the route is clear.

All green.

I will handle the mental care of the drone pilot from here.

Crap! I've been locked on!

Shit!

Second Guardian down.

Second Guardian down.

First Guardian, take over the air support mission.

The information was correct. Are those tanks?

Yes, old anti-aircraft weapons made in Russia.

Captain! Let's change route!

Going further is no longer possible!

Oscar-3! K I A! (Killed in action).

Retreat!

Operation failed! Repeat, operation failed!

No way.

Begin the second stage of the operation. Start withdrawing ground forces to Point D.

Understood.

I'm supporting Team Oscar's retreat.

What is this!

There is less ammunition than what was reported!

Lieutenant Sugo.

This is Tomonaga, Assistant of the Military Operations Inspector.

I'm sorry for the mistake in the prior report.

Currently in First Guardian,

emergency supplies are installed.

Drop it to Point D and return.

Please wait.

I'll support Oscar from the sky after the drop!

What can be done without any bullets?

But...!

Don't get the wrong idea.

You are nothing but a strategic unit in this operation.

Drop the payload and return to the base immediately.

Roger...

This is First Guardian.

I'm on my way to the target point to drop supplies.

Oscar... Good luck.

Don't worry, First Guardian.

It's okay, I'll return home.

Shit, why... There's got to be something I can do...!

First Guardian.

In my locker, there is a special brandy.

If you return safely, open it.

Have a glass.

Tell my wife...

To be strong and live on...

For the child she is carrying.

Eh!?

Don't let them talk anymore.

Roger.

Oscar...?

Oscar! Otomo-san!

SEAUn... We'll have to fight some more there, won't we?

The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have to move forward.

After all, SEAUn will become a territory of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

But due to the current situation,

a large-scale ground war led by us is impossible.

I think we need reinforcements. We'd better support them with tanks and infantry class drones.

We can't go on playing tricks like this too many times...

That's... The photo we all took together that time.

I'd like to give it to you Sugo...

Sorry. To tell the truth It was just an excuse to meet you.

Because there was no follow-up report...

After the operation, I was removed from duty and I don't know the details.

However, during the operation, only Yoshida's death was confirmed.

Otomo-san and the others are M I A.

I was told they're going to be treated as missing.

Even if I apologize, you'll still suffer the same, Rin.

But, let me just say...

Because of my lack of power, I was forced to abandon my senpai.

I'm really sorry...

If anything happens, I want you to call me right away.

I'm...

First Guardian.

Your Hue is clouded.

Please stop the exercise.

Huh... Understood.

Due to mental care of pilots,

training will resume in 1 hour.

I'm sorry.

Never mind.

About Rin, I heard she'll quit the National Defense Forces.

She was going to give birth to a child.

But, she miscarried.

I don't know, probably due to an overdose of mental care or medication...

I've been searching for Otomo-senpai's whereabouts.

It's not looking hopeful.

3 months later

Tokyo, Ministry of Defense

Just now, the Ministry of Defense was under attack.

A drone equipped with weapons was used.

The ministries involved are in shock.

The Public Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Welfare is investigating the situation.

Accident? Hacking? Mishandling?

All possibilities are being considered.

We are proceeding with the investigation.

I'm Inspector Risa Aoyanagi of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau.

I'm an Enforcer Masaoka of the same department.

You already know about the case, right?

An armed drone attacked the Ministry of Defense building in Tokyo...

Yes, of course.

We don't think the culprit acted alone.

The military drone used in the attack,

was stolen from a research facility of the National Defense Forces.

Considering the distance, there's no way a person inside this base could have done it.

One suspicious person in that facility...

Was caught on a security camera at the National Defense Institute.

Otomo Itsuki, a missing soldier of the National Defense Forces.

Professional in electronic warfare and special operations.

He also was an excellent military programmer.

Wait a second.

Otomo-senpai, although he is technically missing,

he's basically considered dead...

I heard that there was no chance of him returning.

And yet, he's clearly in the camera's footage.

We can't afford to assume he is missing anymore.

Let's assume Colonel Otomo is the culprit.

In that case, both the perpetrator and the victim are military personnel.

Criminal investigators within the Defense Force should be in charge.

I don't think so.

Otomo is a "former soldier," now a civilian.

When it comes to the crimes of a civilian in this country, whatever the reason...

priority is given to the investigative authority of the Public Safety Bureau.

So that's why you called me.

Do you want me to give you information about Otomo-san?

That's not exactly the case.

The results obtained by our Analyst show that the terminal remotely controlling the drone...

Was yours, Mr. Sugo...

Huh?

Also, there is another stolen drone...

Despite not being the main offender, you're a strong suspect of complicity.

Completely disarmed!?

Please, don't be angry, Lieutenant. It wasn't my decision.

Until the incident is resolved you can't take part in flight training...

Really...

Why are you following me!?

As we said before, you're a suspected accomplice.

Digital records don't prove anything.

Hey, Sugo-san.

Just like us, the Ministry of Defense is also very secretive.

Do you mind telling us in detail...

The circumstances under which Otomo Itsuki went missing?

I can't talk about classified information.

Your Hue has gotten worse since that day.

This is for your own good.

You're a suspect. We're detectives.

Catching Otomo is the quickest way to clear your name.

We should work together.

Ah, so Pops and Inspector Aoyanagi are in Okinawa...

I doubt the person who assaulted the Ministry of Defense with a drone...

Would leave any evidence by remote control.

Even if it's an obvious mislead to disguise the real culprit...

Checking is worth a try.

After all, although he did something big...

there has been no request or statement from the criminal.

What do you think, Gino-sensei?

How should I know!

He's in a bad mood!

Shut up!

I was able to keep the room held before it got cleaned.

But I can't even find Otomo's fingerprints...

There's not even a clue.

It's like a perfectly cleaned room.

What a waste of time.

No. The lack of clues is a clue.

We have a lead.

I believe my husband died overseas.

Even if he had come back to this country, for him to commit such a crime...

It doesn't matter how trivial it is, but..

Has anything unusual...

Happened recently?

No... Nothing in particular.

How is life since leaving the National Defense Forces?

I looked for another job within the Sibyl System.

I found one at a local TV station.

Maybe I shouldn't have worked as a military officer from the beginning...

I was never soldier material.

Sugo, are you also...

Not fit for the job?

That's...

Ma'am.

Do you really hate your job at the TV station?

Huh? Why would you say that?

Well, according to the records...

You're often taking paid leaves lately.

Also, your dosages of mental care are also increasing.

So what!

It's natural for the medication to increase after the recent events!

That is one possibility...

What other possibilities are there?

That's enough!

Stop, Sugo.

I think it's natural for the detectives to suspect me...

However, I don't have information that could be useful in this case.

Both the vacations and medicine in high dosages are simply to help me feel better.

Even if he is a suspect...

I would be happy if I could meet my husband one last time.

If he is alive, I'm sure he would come back here.

Since you are under serious suspicion,

the detectives from the Public Safety Bureau are gonna follow you.

Yes.

You...

As a soldier, you must fulfill your duty.

I know.

Then take advantage of this situation.

What?

It's an opportunity.

What does the Public Safety Bureau know and to what extent?

What are they most interested in right now?

Report it to us.

You mean like spying?

No, this is part of a legitimate operation.

What do you say?

I don't know...

When we questioned her, this stubborn guy turned on us.

But I got one thing out of it.

Lieutenant Sugo is not a criminal.

Far from being an accomplice, he is totally innocent.

Is this what you call detective intuition?

Don't make fun of me, Inspector.

Come on, someone who is guilty of something,

wouldn't get angry like that in defense of others.

Huh!?

Wait Aoyanagi, this route...

Forgive me, Mr. Sugo, I took a little detour.

We've come all the way here and I couldn't pass up the opportunity...

You may never come to Okinawa again.

Well...

Hello, are you a family member?

If you don't have proper biometrics or an ID card,

you will need to report to security...

I'm a member of the Public Safety Bureau.

My apologies, please come in.

You...

You've lost weight again...

I'm really sorry...

I'm still an Enforcer...

I hardly have the chance to leave Tokyo.

The Kyushu branch is short staffed...

And the recent incident caused a lot of deaths.

After all, Division 1 has the highest arrest rate in the Criminal Investigation Department.

Sorry, this isn't the time to be talking about work...

I never change... It can't be helped.

Eh... Detective Masaoka, what kind of person is he?

Yeah, the legendary detective. A natural-born demon at the place of the crime scenes.

Before the establishment of the Sibyl System,

he solved an extraordinary number of horrific cases.

He's a latent criminal right?

That's precisely why he's a latent criminal.

When I hear about the cases Masaoka-san was in charge of, I think even a soldier would be shocked.

Today, I'm just the backup.

I'm usually in a different division than Masaoka-san...

We are the ones who want to work with Masoka-san.

Because he's an excellent detective?

Not only that.

He's a really tough person...

When a common person would give up, he doesn't.

After all, isn't that the strength of humans?

Nobuchika... He's fine.

After things turn out this way...

The rest of my life is for him.

Even if my son has a grudge against me, that's my job as a father.

I finally see the goal post...

I only want Nobuchika to be happy.

Aoyanagi.

Hmm?

Thank you.

No problem.

Ginoza-kun.

Aoyanagi, we're in Dejima.

The Kyushu branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A man who appears to be Itsuki Otomo,

was spotted in the last video search.

Once again, we weren't able to measure his Hue.

Dejima is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right?

Do you have a cover?

Of course.

Anyway, it's not a place the Public Safety Bureau can operate as they please.

We will continue the investigation from here.

Be careful.

You too.

And... Enforcer Masaoka.

Yeah?

What are you doing!

I received an update from the nursing care drone!

Why did you go to see mother now...!

Ginoza!

I suggested Masaoka-san to pay her a visit.

There won't be many opportunities like this...

Don't get involved!

This is between me and Enforcer Masaoka.

Again you address your father like you don't know him...

It's okay... Aoyanagi.

Don't worry, I'll talk to him.

Kyushu, Ministry of Foreign Affairs

How could you do such a shameless thing!

You're being a nuisance! Never do something like that again...!

Ahh!

Gino!

This was 1 hour ago...

This is what happened here.

So, why is there a soldier there?

I'm...

It's my call. He is an important asset.

I'm sure you'll find him useful.

But...

If he says so, it's okay.

Well then, let's say it's okay for the soldier to be present...

Here's Dejima's report.

The Public Safety Bureau's drone is on the scene.

For the time being, I'll send you the current data.

They killed a lot of important people. This is serious...

Even if you become important, death can still find you...

Wow, that's a large grid of people!

General Secretary, General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everything from Development Managers to Counselors.

I'm sorry, but... Do you know the name of the counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

The victim?

Yes.

Only one victim was a counselor.

His name is Kyohei Fukita.

"Foot Stamp..."

What?

I'm sorry! I need to talk to my superiors for a little while!

Ah! Wait!

Analyst.

Yes.

Do a search...

For any references at the National Defense Forces for, "Foot Stamp."

Probably some operation name.

Understood.

How far are you going to push this?

All you have to do is cooperate in arresting Otomo.

Operation "Foot Stamp..."

That was the operation when Otomo-senpai went missing.

At that time, there was a foreign ministry counselor called Fukita in the command room...

As an observer.

That Fukita died... He was killed.

What the hell happened there!? Senpai...

Otomo was a soldier that died for his country!

It was just a failed operation!

That is a lie!

Then why did the Lieutenant General say, "Otomo's arrest"?

If he really died, how can he be arrested!?

Please explain!

Please come with us, Lieutenant Sugo.

I'm currently a suspect in an investigation by the Public Security Bureau.

I can't do that.

Come on.

The signal has been jammed.

We're going to need you to refrain from communication for awhile.

Did something happen?

Don't underestimate us, we're not fools.

Your job is to arrest the criminal.

Do not pry into military defense secrets!

Pardon me, but our chain of command is different.

We will proceed with the investigation by the Public Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Welfare.

If you're going to do that, there is procedure here.

Well, since we're both here, let's cooperate with each other.

Your ex-wife...

It's not a good idea to have home medical care when she's as old as she is.

You...!

I wonder if it's a consideration for your son who at the elite course of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

If you don't follow the rules, she could be housed in a treatment facility.

It's not a nice way to say it, but it's a "disposal site."

There are some terrible facilities in the world...

Inspector Nobuchika Ginoza, was it?

His career could be damaged.

He's at a disadvantage... Just because his father is a latent criminal.

Enough!

You seem to be misunderstanding something. I'm not an Inspector.

I'm an Enforcer. A latent criminal!

Someone who's been isolated by society ever since.

What do you think would happen if you try to touch my wife and child!?

This is my case!

What are you going to do!? You can't do this!

You are an excellent soldier...

No... You were.

Why did you betray your country?

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb. After Operation "Foot Stomp,"

You were hacking the military database.

At first, I believed it was used for camouflage.

Just in case, I checked your device.

How about that?

We found traces of hacking.

Shame on you!

Sarutobi!

Sugo, I can't kill you.

I didn't want to kill you in the first place, especially in the base.

I don't want to give the Public Safety Bureau anything else to investigate.

But, you will get seriously injured in a "training accident."

What!? What happened!?

Who let them through?

I activated the forced entry procedure of the Sibyl System.

This is the Crime Coefficient of every soldier working at this base.

With these ratings...

The possibility of a coup by the National Defense Force can't be denied.

General Minatoya, until you are scanned for a Crime Coefficient...

Let's refrain from this.

I could point the Dominator at you right now.

We could do that right here in this base.

But I really don't think you want us to.

How's your eye?

It's okay.

It seems that Operation "Foot Stamp" was quite dangerous.

All of a sudden, they were all gone.

The jamming hindered the communication efforts.

It became a chance for our Chief to move.

However, mobilization takes time.

Meanwhile, we had to seize Otomo's place.

Everything that happened in this base will be covered up...

Otomo-senpai... Is he really alive?

Whether or not he's alive... There's got to be something.

Some reason why the killer got you involved.

Otomo... Did he have any kind of "insurance"?

Insurance... What?

Detectives involved in strange cases and soldiers in special operations.

Are always ready in case of emergency.

Because we don't know who will betray us or when.

I have a few safe houses in the Public Security Bureau.

Anything like that?

A secret hiding spot, a way to keep his wife safe.

Oh... That brandy!

What?

This is Otomo's...

His "insurance."

When this base was still Camp Schwab...

A secret submarine dock was built underground by the US military.

If the information from Otomo's files is correct,

the submarine's reactor is still active.

To think such a place existed...

Ginoza-kun? We're approaching the prime suspect.

The prime suspect? You mean Itsuki Otomo?

Yes?

Dejima was completely blocked after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attack.

Otomo was caught by a street camera here.

We're in the back of an alley.

Then...

Who is killing the guards over here?

That's the question.

Anyway, we're headed to take the suspect into custody.

Be careful.

You too.

Ko-chan!

Special jurisdictional district under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Special permission is required to identify the Crime Coefficient.

Please talk to your supervisor to request permission.

Shit!

Gino, follow us from the ground!

You guys! Don't rush in!

There he is!

Ko-chan, you take the front side!

Don't lose your focus! Let's take him down at once!

That's unfortunate!

What? Ah!

Ko-chan!

I came to get something I left behind.

A nuclear submarine left unattended for some time in Japan...

Is this... what you came to get!?

After all this, you still know nothing.

Otomo!

This is the Public Safety Bureau, Crime Division, don't resist!

Crime Coefficient can not be measured.

Please check the subject's life signs.

Again...

No!

Is this... the criminal?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Shit!

This was a waste of time!

I don't know why street cameras can't keep up....

This is Otomo-senpai's sparring robot.

If this was my real senpai, he would have won.

Yo, Teppei.

As you can see, this is just a programmed robot.

I'm really dead.

Did you find my gift's memory chip?

Yes...

It's a log of all the operations you participated in...

Confidential documents from the base were included.

For example, the log of the operation where you disappeared.

Operation "Foot Stamp..."

At that time, the upper echelons needed to wipe out hostile forces.

And our unit was just a sacrificial pawn from the beginning.

The real point of the operation was... you.

There was special equipment that was put on your aircraft...

That was...

Emergency supplies...

Not really.

You... were dropping a chemical weapon.

Nano-enhanced VX gas...

The gas destroyed the opposing forces.

Itsuki Otomo... He watched his squad die before dying himself.

As a result, you killed all those people at once.

It doesn't matter though, they were expendable.

That's what soldiers are for.

But... Not with gas.

Even if someone is disposable, you don't put them through that...

I'm sorry to interrupt...

Did you intend to take the nuclear submarine and use it in a terrorist attack?

For revenge...

Is that the detective that spoke just now?

For revenge... is the correct answer.

You're a diversion.

This isn't artificial intelligence is it?

Imitating the way of thinking and acting based on the life log of the deceased...

As expected, detective.

It's just a life log.

A doll couldn't have done this.

Yeah.

You were programmed.

That's right.

That person was me...

Both of our thoughts were incorporated into this imitation intelligence...

"Be strong..."

I lost my child before it was born, I had to go back to being a soldier.

Tell my wife... Tell her to be strong.

For the child she is carrying.

I learned the truth behind Operation "Foot Stamp."

I hacked Sugo's device and used it as a decoy.

If I made you a suspect...

Even if the assassination failed,

people naturally gather at the Naga base.

This is my chance for revenge.

Otomo-senpai... would never have wanted this!

Is that so?

You don't understand.

Rin...!

You can't escape.

You may have gotten out of the base, but...

We still have to scan your Crime Coefficient.

You don't understand.

In order for us to protect the Sibyl System,

how much sacrifice do you think it takes?

I make the hard choices of what's in the best interest of the military and the nation!

Hey... Don't worry about that.

I'm just a detective.

If it was really an "operation" for national interest,

there should be no change to your Crime Coefficient.

Whether you're a criminal or not, the Dominator will be the judge.

Don't look at me like that! You Sibyl dog!

Crime Coefficient 340. Enforcement mode...

Lethal Eliminator.

Please aim carefully and eliminate the target.

I understand!

Is this okay? Didn't you have to keep him alive?

Don't you want to completely stop the National Defense Force?

This wasn't the place to "come to an agreement."

Is that Aoyanagi's opinion?

No, it's the Chief's, of course.

Well, well...

Thank you for helping me.

I was just doing my job.

Masaoka-san... You knew...

That Itsuki Otomo was already dead.

I got a call from a junior in Tokyo.

"If the criminal is a living person, there are too few clues."

As expected from professionals...

Your mental health.

Because my Hue deteriorated...

They'll get me treatment away from the front lines.

Don't get burned out. If you do, life isn't over.

It's not too bad becoming an Enforcer if you end up as a latent criminal.

I'm sure you'd be a great detective.

A detective...

Nowadays, being a detective is just following a machine's instructions. It's not a job to shoot or kill people.

But, sometimes...

There are moments when I feel like I'm doing good.

Justice and values...

Once you taste it... you become addicted.

In November of the same year, Sugo transferred to the National Defense Force's Drone Research and Development Department for mental care.
