>Gimme a marshmallow!
Chase Ortiz
>Aah!
>Oh, it's just you, Garo...
>You surprised me...
>I'm hungry.
>Gimme a marshmallow.
>R-right, let's make breakfast.
>Zabi isn't used to living with someone else.
>Here you go.
>[Valley goat cheese galette - Stretchy cheese is the best~]
>Sho good!
>(Crunchy and stretchy!)
>But what's a valley goat?
>I guess you really don't know anything.
>Is it because you lost your memories?
Jaxon Cox
How long has Major 2nd been on hiatus?
Liam Brown
>They're a type of goat that were selectively bred in this country.
>(Baa, baa)
>We have a limited amount of land,
>so we make a lot of products from their milk.
>Ooh!
>I thought that milk and cheese usually comes from cows.
>"Cows"? What are "cows"?
>They go "Moo"!
>Never heard of them.
>We're heading out once we're done eating, Garo.
>We're going to visit the Escort headquarters.
Jordan Lee
>We Escorts essentially work as a guards.
>We protect the maintenance teams from the Angels at Anju's ring.
>Angels! Like that guy from yesterday!
>That's right. They're the calamity that confines us here.
>As long as they're there, we won't be able to leave this country.
>But due to rising sea levels, this country is eventually going to be flooded.
Thomas Martinez
>That's where you come in.
>You must have come here from Utopie.
>If we can recover your memories,
>we might be able to build "airplanes" and "helicopters" again!
>We could escape the country by flying right over the angels' heads!
Thomas Evans
>Let's hope it comes back, then.
>Don't treat it like it doesn't concern you!
>But how are we supposed to restore my memories, though?
>That's the question.
>You arrived here in that egg-shaped thing.
>I hoped that we could find some kind of clue in it.
>I see!
Jaxon Jones
>But yesterday, when I went to take a look at it...
>It had disappeared without a trace!
>Saves us the trouble of cleaning up.
>So positive!
>(Do you understand what's going on!?)
>I guess it's completely destroyed by now...
>Which means our only clue is gone...
>But that doesn't mean we're out of options yet.
Luke Jenkins
>The Escort HQ is home to the foremost hypnotherapist in our country.
>A person by the name of Commander Lily.
>We'll have to rely on their help from here on.
>Mmmm.
>Is Escort work tough?
>Somewhat.
>But it's also something to take pride in.
>We risk our lives, fighting for the sake of the entire country.
>We'll make a little detour here.
>Huh? Where?
>This is also part of an Escort's job...
Charles Hernandez
>Nice to see someone from the army visiting us in person.
>Please, come have a seat.
>I'm sorry, but I must be leaving shortly.
>You're an Escort, aren't you?
>Our son is also working as an Escort.
>So, what is it?
>I hope our son is getting along well.
>I hear Escort work is quite hectic, so we don't get to see him very often.
Dominic Gutierrez
>I came to deliver this...
>A medal!
>Did our son do something to deserve a thing like this...?
>A "special promotion to second rank".
>Your son has regrettably passed away.
>His injuries were great, and we have thus already taken the liberty of handling his remains.
>My deepest condolences.
Easton Nelson
>But...
>How...
>Aren't Escorts...
>Just supposed to protect the maintenance teams from landslides and such...?
>How could he have...
>Is this a joke...?
>"Handling his remains"...?
>You...
>You selfish bastards!
Nathan Roberts
>"His injuries were great"?
>Dear!
>How could something like that happen to an Escort!?
>My deepest condolences.
>You think you can smooth this over with apologies?
>My son is dead!
>I won't accept it!
>Why didn't you...
>Return his body!
>Explain!
>What's the real reason you can't return his body!?
>Dear!
David Nguyen
>I've been hearing rumors of organ trading!
>That's what's really going on, isn't it!
>Am I wrong? Why aren't you saying anything, huh?
>Did I hit the bullseye?
>Stop it already, dear!
>You...
>You people...
>Don't care about us citizens at all!
Jayden Harris
>...Zabi.
>Let's go, Garo.
>You only learn the truth about Escorts when you become one.
>That's why all of us are sworn to secrecy.
>Even bodies can only rarely be returned to their families.
Xavier Johnson
>That's why rumors like the nonexistent organ trade keep popping up.
>And our "real work"
>receives little praise.
>So why keep it up?
>Well...
>Stop it!
>Let me go!
>Just come along quietly!
>Nooo!
>You're going to fetch a high price~
>Big bro's going to praise me~
Ethan Reed
>Unhand her.
>Don't come any closer, masked man.
>Help me!
>*Step*
>H-hey!
>Can you even see this thing?
>Huh?
>I have my mask, so I don't see all that well...
>What an idiot!
William Sullivan
>There.
Gabriel Bennett
>This work receives little praise.
>*Clack*
>Sometimes people talk about us behind our back.
>*Crck*
>Aah!
>Y-you...
>You're a Magu user, just like big bro-
>*Chomp*
>Aagh!
>But even so...
>I won't forget the countless lives I haven't been able to save.
>For their sake...
Robert King
>I'm going to protect as many citizens as I can!
>That...
>Is my duty as a prince!
>Garo, keep an eye on this guy.
>I'll take this girl home.
>Okay...
>Hee hee hee...
Andrew Morales
>You're going to regret having laid hands on me.
>What's the matter, little bro?
>Big bro!
>Huuh?
>Is this today's catch?
>Not that great of a find...
>These guys tried to interfere with our work!
Jonathan Gonzalez
>Work?
>We're organ traders.
>This place's full of easy marks, you know?
>And it's all blamed on the Escorts on top of that.
>The country's full of sick people.
>The hospitals can't just treat everything with medicines like they could in the past.
>*Crack*
>And it's faster to just replace the organs, anyway.
>*Crack* *Crack*
>Kids' sell especially well.
>And with these...
Zachary Campbell
>Taking them apart's a cinch!
>So, it's you.
>You're the ones making Zabi's job something to cry about.
>*Clink*
>His neck's a screw...
>You...
>You're a Magu user!
Noah Rogers
>*Spin*
>Whoa!
>*Whirrl*
>Golden...
Levi Hall
>Spiral!
Cooper Morgan
>Did the police take him away?
>Yeah, both of them!
>Good. (Both?)
>You saying I'm a liar?
>Ah, there's commander Lily.
>You got any proof, huh? Proof!
>Proof?
Evan Davis
>Proof that I took that wallet!
>It's obvious just by looking.
>Huh?
>"Gleipnir".
Written with the characters for "Voracious Rope". Gleipnir is the rope that was used to bind the wolf Fenrir in Norse mythology.
>*Snatch*
>There.
>Wha...
>Yeah, that's the commander alright.
>Hopefully they'll be able to do something about your memories.
>*Wrap*
