Fifty First Star

Hey, Riou and Jowy... you guys want to come over for dinner sometime? I mean, Gremio always makes more than he needs, so...

I guess this place has been really testy lately. The case I'm working on is a difficult one. Add to that a lot of the hardship lately...

I just want everyone out there to remember that hope still exist. There is a victory to be had. The town meeting helped us all reassess our priorities... We'll be alright. We just have to beat this like everything else, right? I know we can do it. We always have. You just have to have faith in your talents and the talents of your fellow man. There's nothing we cannot accomplish when we work together... I should know. In my world, I saw what the achievements of 108 individuals working together for a joint cause could be.

For those of you new to the city, my name is Tir McDohl. I'm an officer in the police force as well as an all around good guy, I suppose. If you ever need anything, I have a contact post on this frequency so don't be a stranger.

I'm being serious here, Cecil. What was she to you?

She's... she's my friend.

What kind of friend?

So what was the syringe for?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

Samples. I don't have any test-tubes.

[Locked]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Samples of what?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

The chemicals around here. It's not uncommon. I like to play with their properties.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Why did you need it before meeting with Rika?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

I didn't need it. I found it. We agreed at home, that morning around breakfast. And I went out, and found it by the hospital.

If only I had gone home for lunch, instead of her heading to meet me...

You found it?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

On the ground. I find a lot of things here.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I see... so if I look around that area, will I find other, similar objects?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

If you walk down lander, by those buildings. There were some ripped gloves too, or something rubber... it looked like. And...

Cecil.

Now that we discussed that needle... I'm going to ask you again.

What is Rika to you?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

More than just my friend.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

How much more?

What is it you feel, Cecil?

[Locked]

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

I don't feel anything. Don't ask about her anymore.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry, Cecil...

But I can't ignore the evidence.
