(Just like Anum said.) Then I'm willing to bear it... to bear all of the consequences for Anum.

I'll protect her.

(Forgive me.)

Agh!!

(I can just use my shield...) Huff...

(I don't need to actually kill him.)

Anum!

Where are you?

Once we have you, this entire clown show will be over.

We'll all still have a chance to survive.

Survive? Aren't you a greedy one...

You're not fit to be a soldier of Sargon.

A soldier?

You really think anyone gives a damn?

Drop dead.

(Dammit...) Anum!

(Why did it have to be Abi...) Abi?

Heavyrain!

Help me.

Made up your mind?

(I'm sorry...) Abi, I didn't want it to be this way.

(If there was any other choice...) But Anum's my friend, so...

I can't let you hurt her.

Friend...

Hahahaha! Come on! Show me then!

What?!

Urgh!

Heavyrain! Watch out!

I'm coming!

Move it!

Argh!

Anum!

Abi!!!

For your friend's sake, eh! Good on you!

Now again, Heavyrain!

Urgh!

You're not going to defeat me just by defending. You know.

You're still wavering?

You need to protect your friend, and right now, I'm your enemy.

(The worst outcome...)

Heavyrain! Dammit... ufff...

Guys! Help us!

Seize the traitor!

*sigh*... Looks like we're out of time.

You'll have to forgive me for taking the reins, then.

What?

Hyah!

Agh!!

Heavyrain!

The finishing blow!

(We're going to die...)

(No!) Aaaaarrgh!

Come!!!

Abi slashed at Heavyrain. Heavyrain lifts her shield with all she has, every drop of strength poured into her charge against him.

Yet in the single moment her view is blocked...

The old vet...

Turns his blade...

And plunges it into his own body.

WHY?!?!?!

NO!!!

WHY?! Abi!!!

Why are you doing this?!

Take my blade.

No...

Take it! Quick!

While they still haven't noticed.

No! I won't!

The warehouse! There's still meds there!

Astamaʿa li!

Al-'aan! I'm telling you to take it!

TAKE IT!

Abi...

Heavyrain, you're a good child.

You protect your comrades, care for your friends, even watch out for my useless old ass.

I'm so... very happy.

Stop it...

*cough* *cough*... If you're willing to see everyone as a comrade, to help them, to lay your personal grudges to rest...

Then you're so much stronger than us elderly morons... but still... *cough* *cough*...

Never let yourself be so easily bound. Be firm in your own steps.

You're a good child, I trust that.

But there are times, when kindness is a little inappropriate, that's all.

I know.

I know...

Abi...

Don't let it weigh you down. Whatever else, we need someone left to bring our letters back.

After so long away, it's about time we old men... went home.

These tags––these comrades... you protect them well. I believe in you...

Bring... *cough* *cough*... everyone...

(Abi!!!!) !!!

No! Abi!

Dammit... Heavyrain...

Move aside! Everyone move aside!

Any more fighting, and you'll all be executed on the spot!

Stay away from Anum, or I'll take you on myself!

Don't be scared, Anum!

Mm...

Enough! Do you not think your crimes are sufficiently grave yet?

Unit 0374! You have betrayed the lord ameer, and spurned your soldier's oath.

This is your last chance to wash yourselves of guilt!

We hope for you to prove your loyalty through your actions in this assignment.
