In Life and in Death
- Ch'en
Ugh...
- Hoshiguma
That's the third time today, Sleeping Beauty.
- Ch'en
How long was I out for?
- Hoshiguma
A dozen seconds or so.
- Ch'en
...Hoshiguma, step aside. I'll slash apart the debris.
- Hoshiguma
Sorry, but I can't do that. If I move, we're both done for. Let me handle this.
- Ch'en
Your shoulder.
- Hoshiguma
It doesn't matter.
- Ch'en
...You won't be able hold out much longer! You're holding up two floors' worth of rubble on top of your shield!
- Hoshiguma
I don't need to for much longer. Just until you woke up... Squat down, and get ready to dash out.
- Ch'en
...
- Hoshiguma
No matter how heavy it is...
- Hoshiguma
...as long as I can turn it over...
- Hoshiguma
...it's not heavy at all!! AAAAAGH!!
- Ch'en
You...
- Hoshiguma
Gaaah, aagh... Ngh... It feels like I lost my shoulder just to give it that little push.
- Ch'en
You saved me again.
- Hoshiguma
What's weird about that? How many times does that make now? And don't say that to me so earnestly... makes me feel gross just hearing it.
- Hoshiguma
Let me rest a little. I feel like I just broke every bone in my body... Maybe it's your turn to let me take a nap.
- Reunion Member
...Blast, how did they even survive all that?!
- Ch'en
Sure, but the enemy's not going to let you.
- Hoshiguma
No rest for the wicked, I suppose. Looks like I can still stand if I muster my strength.
- Hoshiguma
You should go reorganize the squads, quickly. Don't waste any more time on them - it's what they're after.
- Ch'en
I don't think it's too late to just take them all out first.
- Hoshiguma
Why can't you go check to see who got injured first?
- Ch'en
And leave you here to face Reunion alone despite all your injuries?
- Hoshiguma
Ch'en. What do you think you're doing?
- Hoshiguma
Two years ago in Hua Shui, you were chasing after a bandit leader. My leg was injured, but you believed in me and left me to fight alone. Do you still remember that?
- Ch'en
How long did it take me to catch him?
- Hoshiguma
Three hours. You trusted me back then.
- Ch'en
And I still do.
- Ch'en
You, Reunion! I'll take you all on!
- Reunion Member
Damn it... She's looking down at us!
- Hoshiguma
I can still fight. Why are you staying behind? Why aren't you taking the squads to recapture the L.G.D. Headquarters? Did you forget your main mission?
- Hoshiguma
It's the same as it was three years ago, and it's a responsibility that only you can fulfill!
- Hoshiguma
You did this back at the Muk Wo Warehouse earlier. When did you become so indecisive? Ch'en!
- Ch'en
I don't see any problem with protecting my colleague from these rioters.
- Hoshiguma
You've changed. You used to be much tougher.
- Ch'en
Leaving you here? Of course I could. I used to only look at the risks versus the benefits, but now, it's as you said...
- Ch'en
After what I did to Amiya, I've also been... conflicted.
- Reunion Member
You'll taste the rage of the Infected! Attack!
- Ch'en
Maybe I have changed. As time passed, I've had fewer grievances about Lungmen, and I've been able to place my trust in more people.
- Ch'en
You are no longer just Inspector Hoshiguma. You are my friend, and my partner.
- Ch'en
Your shield has protected me all this time; so once in a while, you should let me be your shield.
- Hoshiguma
Whew. You're not even going to blush after saying all that?
- Ch'en
Shut the **** up.
- Hoshiguma
Hahaha.
- Hoshiguma
All right, all right. In that case, Ch'en, I'm leaving it to you.
