“No… What? …What is this…? The lifeboats exploded… This is a joke, right?!”
“……?!”
“H-hello?! Hello?! Is that you, Misao?!”
“Hi… Hiroko! Hiroko? Thank God… I finally got through…”
“Yes! Okay, l-li-li-listen! The ship! The ship I’m on is…”
“Listen to me, Hiroko.”
“Wait, now isn’t the time…”
“Listen to me!”
“Ngh…!”
“I’m sorry for yelling… Listen, get away from that ship right now.”
“Huh… Wha-what…? Why…? Do—do you know what’s going on over here?!”
“You have to run… You have to run… Aaah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“What the…? Misao? Misao?! What was that, just now…? An explosion?”
“AAAAaaaaaah, I think—I think we’re done for over here! I don’t know whether that ship’s safe or not. They might be over there with you, too! The only thing I know for sure is you have to get away from that ship right now! You have to! Just run, just run, just run, hurry, hurry, hurry!”
“Calm down… Misao, calm down!”
Fear death Fear death
“The ship is— It won’t be tomorrow night, we— We’ll get to you

Your own flesh accepts death Your own heart wishes for death

Yet still you live, O noble goats
don’t know what’s going on! ”
“What’s the matter?! Tell me what happened! What are those voices, Misao?!”
“It’s a bunch of lunatics on the PA, but that doesn’t matter now! Listen, this ship—! We’re gonna—! We’re gonna crash into you tomorrow evening! The bastards are planning to ram us into you, no matter what!”
“Huh…?”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen to me, but let me say this now, one last time, Hiroko, I Ah, aaah, what—what are you people…?! Dammit! Hiroko! Run! Get off that ship ”
“Misao… Misao?!”
Quell the soul that is to be devoured Worship pain Our god is…
