In the news, they were saying that through the fault of disputes where both companies will continue to expand, it seems that USEA itself as a whole will be dangerous. |
|

|
To say nothing of that Park, or UPEO; |
|
if your homeland disappeared, how would you feel? |
|
All the same, I |
|
intend to make sure of things for myself. |
|
And so, I will know who in the world, and for what purpose, started these things. |
|
. |
|
And I for one think that that, at present, is the meaning that SARF has.... |
|
. |
Rena |
Aren’t the orders recently odd as far as the maintenance of peace and order goes? |
|
. |
|
In circumstances like these, they are completely strange. |
|
Must be that one of these days, something will certainly happen. |
|
We had better be careful about that man... Commander Park. |
|
. |
An emergency has arisen at a Neucom nanotechnology lab! |
. |
Experimental nanobites deployed in large amounts for construction work |
. |
have begun to go on a rampage for reasons unknown. |
Even at present, they are continuing to multiply; it is an extremely dangerous situation. |
They absolutely must be dealt with immediately, but |
the targets, nanobites, are microscopic and invisible to the eye. |
Detect them with the radar, and |
airdrop the nanobite neutralizer ANB — exterminate them. |
Rena |
Day in, day out, |
|
when something happens, I get saved by you. |
|
And this time, too; if my bird had been done in by nanobites like that, |
|
. |
|
I’m pretty sure my mind couldn’t have endured the pain of becoming a machine. |
|
. |
|
But when I was a child.... |
|
I wanted to become a machine. |
|
No matter what illness— |
|
even death, I could completely repair; |
|
I wanted my body to become that way. |
(Rena) |
From the time I was born, |
|
I haven’t basked in the light of the sun even once.... |
|
An illness like that was, to me, still being a mere child then, |
|
enough to make me lose meaning in living. |
|
Despite going to a neighborhood park, I absolutely had to go out as if I were doing so for space travel. |
|
. |
|
By and by, it didn’t take all that long a time for me to go as far as utterly shutting myself in, even so far as my mind, as if I were isolated from the outside world. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
—around then, I came across that man. |
|
He taught me the power the Electrosphere holds, and its capabilities.... |
|
That encounter——. I believed from the bottom of my heart that he was the first person to treat me as a normal human being. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
Despite not being able to get in touch physically, |
|
for that very reason, I had expected that beyond the ’Sphere, we understood each other more than anyone. |
|
. |
|
If it were for that man, I could do anything. |
|
Having mortal flesh I’d thought would be good to perish at any time, |
|
no matter what would happen was fine. |
|
In only that one regard, |
|
if I, too, could have in hand the wings he had had... |
|
but I was mistaken about that. |
|
The very time I thought would be the beginning, |
|
was, for that man, the time to end. |
|
What that man, Dision, had in hand, |
|
—it wasn’t me, not really. |
|
Precisely because I was so very weak, I could be a potential test subject... |
|
...but only my body. |
|
Besides, I was betrayed by my own body; |
|
that’s what I had written on my heart at the time. |
|
Casting aside so much as my mind as a human, and absolutely not letting go of these wings placed in my hands, I mean—— |
|
. |
Rena |
But... anyway. |
|
I understood a little. |
|
Until now, I had always thought that for me, wings were the whole of my heart. |
|
. |
|
But that’s wrong, isn’t it. |
|
As much as I am human, |
|
my heart is right here, I mean. |
|
Therefore... from now on, I |
|
think that I’ll get a little stronger. |
|
You know, so I can fly even without wings. |
|
For listening to me today... |
|
...thank you. |
