Officer Zhu Fu, who was undercover, died. It wasn't a big deal. In the instant of death, his dreams, responsibilities, and the people he cared about brought him more relief than regret.
At last, he wouldn't have to worry about dragging them down anymore, he thought.
So be it.
Then...
He opened his eyes again. A truck was challenging his dear classmate Date to a fistfight.
He was about to get hit and killed!
He dashed forward and shoved the other man out of the way, then died again...
So be it.
Then...
He opened his eyes again. The countdown was ticking away, and his dear classmate Matsuda was leaning against the Ferris wheel window, gazing up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.
He was about to get blown up!
He quickly revealed the location of the second bomb, then jumped down with the bomb, which had only a few seconds left, and died again...
So be it.
Then...
He opened his eyes again, with blue-gray smoke swirling before him. He slapped his dear classmate Hagiwara, who was crouched in front of a bomb smoking a cigarette, and urged him to hurry up and finish defusing it, then...
No. He didn't want to die anymore.
His classmates were still alive, and he didn't want to leave Zero alone to fight the darkness.
Then...
By the time he saw his brother's corpse, he had figured out the pattern.
He would die. He would die right now.
Then he'd restart the game, and he'd be damned if he couldn't get an HE ending.
Zero, don't worry. I'm going to swing from my neck for a while.
