THIS IS BAD... THE WATER IS RISING!
IT APPEARS THE WATER TANK HAS SUSTAINED DAMAGE.
LET US BREAK THROUGH THE DOOR FIRST!
AH...! IT IS SOAKED FROM WHEN I FELL INTO THE WATER, SO IT WON'T FIRE...!
Ugh
LOU, DID YOU NOT BRING A GUN?
NO, I DID NOT EXPECT AN OCCURRENCE LIKE THIS.
THE WATER HAS ALREADY REACHED OUR WAIST...! WHAT DO WE DO...?!
CHARLES, LET US CLIMB UP THERE FOR NOW!
ARE THEY AIMING TO ELIMINATE EVEN US ALONG WITH HENRY'S RECORDS?
NO, THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.
LUVANTES WAS DRAGGED INTO THIS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE FOLLOWED ME.
CHARLES?
TO FOOLISHLY LEAD SOMEONE ELSE INTO A TRAP ONCE AGAIN...
LOU...
...I AM SORRY.
I AM SORRY....
I HAD INTENDED TO SIMPLY FIND THE INFORMATION AND LEAVE,
I NEVER IMAGINED THINGS WOULD TURN OUT LIKE THIS....
IT IS QUITE ALRIGHT, CHARLES.
IF YOU ARE TRULY THAT APOLOGETIC, YOU CAN SIMPLY PICK OUT MY WEDDING SUIT YOURSELF.
WHAT...?
WOULD THE BELL ETOILE BOUTIQUE BE TO YOUR LIKING, OR PERHAPS THE SAPHIR BOUTIQUE?
THOUGH I IMAGINE ANYTHING WOULD SUIT YOU, CHARLES.
IS THIS REALLY THE TIME FOR JOKES?
IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND, I SHOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO CHOOSE MY TUXEDO AS WELL.
Though it will undoubtedly not be to my taste.
DO NOT JEST!
I FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE AT DEATH'S DOOR ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF ME...!
FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN MY OWN BLUNDER,
I REFUSE TO WATCH SOMEONE ELSE DIE EVER AGAIN...!!
!!.. ..
...CHARLES.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS YOUR FAULT.
AND AS FOR NOT WISHING TO LOSE YOU, I FEEL PRECISELY THE SAME-
AH...!
IS IT TRULY TO END SO MEANINGLESSLY?
CHARLES-!!
UNABLE TO EVEN PREVENT THE MAN I REGARDED AS A FATHER FROM DERAILING,
AND ALL WHILE DRAGGING SOMEONE DEAR TO ME INTO PERIL....
CHARLES!!
CHARLES! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!
...LUVANTES
I AM TRULY SORRY TO YOU.
AND... THANK YOU.
WAIT, THAT SHADOW IS...
PINKY?!
COME TO THINK OF IT, I HAD LEFT A LETTER AT THE ABANDONED WAREHOUSE TELLING HIM TO COME TO THE PORT...!!
ARE THE BOTH OF YOU ALRIGHT!?!
WELL DONE-!! ME OF THE PAST!!!
THANK YOU FOR COMING, PINKY.
WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED FOR YOU TWO TO END UP LIKE THIS?
IF I HAD BEEN EVEN A LITTLE LATER, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER!
EVEN I AM NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW IT CAME TO THIS....
...I CAN FEEL SOMEONE'S GAZE UPON US.
COULD THE CULPRIT STILL BE LINGERING NEARBY?
LADY CHARLES! THIS GENTLEMAN'S CONDITION APPEARS GRAVELY SEVERE...!!
LOU!!!
HE HAS A GUNSHOT WOUND?! WHEN ON EARTH...!
PINKY ONLY FIRED A SINGLE SHOT TOWARD THE DOOR!
WAIT, THERE WAS A GUNSHOT THAT RANG OUT ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY BACK THEN.
I THOUGHT I WAS SIMPLY HALLUCINATING IN THE CHAOS, BUT IF THE CULPRIT IS STILL HERE-
THIS IS NO TIME TO STAND HERE HESITATING!
PINKY, I AM OFF TO FIND A PHYSICIAN, SO PLEASE HANDLE THE CLEANUP HERE!
Y-YES, UNDERSTOOD!
PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, HOLD ON LUVANTES...!
FORTUNATELY, THE MAJOR BLOOD VESSELS WERE SPARED.
HOWEVER, HE HAS LOST A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BLOOD, SO WE MUST MONITOR HIS PROGRESS CLOSELY...
TO THINK THE DAY WOULD COME WHEN I WOULD ACTUALLY PRAY...
...DID YOU FEEL THIS VERY SAME WAY WHEN I WAS THE ONE COLLAPSED?
TREATING YOUR WORRIES AS IF THEY MEANT NOTHING,
AND BELIEVING IT WAS ENTIRELY FINE TO EXHAUST MY OWN BODY...
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.
SO PLEASE, OPEN YOUR EYES...
IT IS ALL MY FAULT...
...CHARLES.
YOU NEED NOT FEEL BURDENED BY GUILT...
...LOU...!!
