Call

Snipers, stop attacking the fleeing Reunion forces!

Focus on helping Madam Hoshiguma first!

So annoying!

Not bad, not bad. You actually managed to soak up all my attacks~

But, how much more can you take?

That depends on how long you can survive!

---Ch'en! Hurry up!

Surround that woman!

Ohhh, did L.G.D. come to play?

Lower your weapons!

We meet again, Madam~

You won't talk your way out of this.

All that you've done to Lungmen... I'll do to you twice over.

Oh my, how scary~

But I'm not here to play with you today.

Amiya, catch~

Me? This is... some kind of phone?

That's right. Someone wants to talk to you~

...?!

Anyway, that concludes my mission.

Before I forget, I have something for you as well, Madam.

See you later~

Watch out!

...A short-range bomb...?!

No, it's a flashbang!

Don't let her trick you...

...It's too late.

She already got away.

She sure got out of there fast. All she needed was a momentary distraction to slip through our defenses.

Also, you should be careful of that thing you're holding. If it's another bomb...

This... seems like a regular cellphone...

Except... could it be...

...

Hello?

Is that...

Amiya...?

Misha! Tell me, where are you?! I'm...

Amiya...

...

...Prioritize... treating the heavily injured!! We need a blood transfusion here!! Hurry!!

...Damn it... Why... Even though we're all Infected...

Rhodes Island... why would they do this to us...?!

...We were always abandoned from the very beginning!! We have no escape... nothing at all...!

Don't die! Don't leave me!! We promised... We promised to go home together...!

*sobbing*... Brother... please don't...

Do you hear their voices...?

...

Reunion's... Infected?

I remember now.

No, I never forgot. I just... didn't want to remember...

That's right. It was Reunion that destroyed my home. My father also...

But... we brought it upon ourselves.

That year, I watched my younger brother, dragged away before my own eyes... He called out for me, crying my name, but I turned away...

...and hid inside my room.

When he found me again... He had sacrificed so many things.

Even though he still loved me, I was afraid, and I ran away...

But I now understand.

Everything that he has done... was just to give the oppressors a taste of the suffering that the Infected go through every day.

And now, I am one of them.

...It is time for me to atone for my sins.

Misha, don't be rash!

No matter how you treated the Infected in the past, you can always change--

It's no use.

What can I change?

Because I... was one of those who turned a blind eye...

After becoming an Infected, I finally... can see it clearly.

The way normal people treated the Infected... is how the Infected would treat normal people.

Because they deserve it.

No...

All of this... Is nothing more than the weeds of evil that have sprouted from the seeds of cruelty I planted...

This torment is my karmic justice.

But, why... Why?

Why did that happen to him, even though he had done nothing wrong?!

All he was guilty of was suddenly coming down with the infection...

He was so young... He had only started asking for me to help with his homework!

If only I... If only I had protected him back then...

Misha! Please calm down!

You didn't hurt any innocents! None of this was your fault!

From the very beginning, who's innocent?!

...

The only thing that's wrong... is this label that the Infected have been given...

If this is a cycle of revenge against each other... Then tell me, who was the one who set this tragedy in motion...?!

If Ursus had never treated the Infected like monsters...

...then what reason would anyone have to hate Ursus so much?!

Who ordained that the Infected must suffer like this?!

Misha...

Skullshatterer is dead. You can come back to us now. I promise, we'll...

...

Amiya... I've already found my answer...

I am an Infected.

I stand on the side of the Infected.

Don't...

That's right, Amiya. You're also an Infected...

So you should be able to understand.

That's right. I'm just like you... just like everyone in Rhodes Island. We all understand how you feel...

But, Misha, even if you accept your identity, that won't change who you are!

Please wait for me! I'm coming to find you!

Don't come.

...Misha! Where are you--

You're right, Amiya. You're absolutely right... I was just feeling guilty. Guilty... because I was too weak.

But I've made up my mind.

Even if it's only a single step... it is a step that I must take.

I'm sorry, Amiya. I'm so sorry...

To be an Infected... is to be a part of Reunion.

That is all we are, after all...

Goodbye...

Misha? Misha?! Misha!!
