THE REMAINING ENEMY FORCES WERE FINALLY ELIMINATED THIS MORNING, SIR.
WE WILL BE RESUMING THE SEARCH NOW.
ACCORDING TO THE SURVIVORS, WE SHOULD SEARCH THE ALTAR OF THE CHURCH--
C-COMMANDER!!
IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
SHE MIGHT BE ALREADY GONE.
BUT...
I JUST CAN'T GIVE UP.
I CAN'T LEAVE HER IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
IS HE ALRIGHT...?
TRYING THAT DESPERATELY...
MANY PEOPLE WERE DEPLOYED FOR THE RESCUE OPERATION.
HOLDING ONTO A THREAD OF HOPE, EVERYONE SEARCHED THROUGH THE ROCKS AND ASHES.
BUT FOR MANY VICTIMS, WE WERE SIMPLY TOO LATE.

PLEASE SPARE ANNETTE'S LIFE AND TAKE MINE INSTEAD.
PLEASE PROTECT HER FROM ALL DEATH AND SUFFERING.

Episode 58
SEVERAL HOURS PASSED SINCE THE SEARCH STARTED.
WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?
IS THAT... A PIANO?!
YOU COULD BE HERE SOMEWHERE.
AFTER ALL, YOU WERE NEVER FAR FROM THE PIANO.
WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE?
WHAT RUINED YOU, ME, AND ALL OF THIS?
IT WAS ME.
I WAS THE ONE WHO TRIED TO BREAK AND DRAG HER DOWN INTO MY ABYSS.
I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE SURE NO ONE WOULD WANT HER.
SO THAT EVEN I WOULD STOP LOVING YOU...
HAHAHA...
HAHAHAHA...
I CREATED THIS MESS BECAUSE OF MY UNRESOLVED, DESPICABLE EMOTIONS.
I'M THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ANNETTE TO THIS POINT...
PERHAPS I SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN BORN.
AN ARMY UNIFORM.
AND A WHITE APRON...
HEY!!! THERE'S A PERSON OVER HERE...!!
WE'VE FOUND TWO PEOPLE! ONE FEMALE AND ONE MALE,
A NURSE AND A SOLDIER!
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE TRAPPED IN THE SPACE UNDER THE PIANO!!
I NEED BACKUP HERE IMMEDIATELY!!
PLEASE, ANNETTE. IT CAN'T BE YOU.
LIFT THE DEBRIS ON THE COUNT OF TWO. ONE, TWO!
DON'T DO THIS TO ME, ANNETTE. IT CAN'T BE YOU, IT CAN'T...
SHE'S LIKE A LIFELESS RAG DOLL...
HEY!!! LIFT THIS COLUMN OVER HERE!

WILL SHE BE ALRIGHT WITH THE GURNEY MOVING LIKE THAT?
IS SHE IN A LOT OF PAIN?
WHAT IF SHE STOPS BREATHING ON THE WAY?

WHAT IF A LANDMINE GOES OFF DURING THE CAR RIDE?
WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ANNETTE BECAUSE--

THE DEBRIS FROM THE BUILDING COLLAPSED ONTO HER FRAIL BODY...
AND HER FACE AND BODY ARE ALL COVERED IN WOUNDS...
UGH...
ANNETTE.
ANNETTE ROZENBERG.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER IF WE NEVER MET EACH OTHER.
BECAUSE WE END UP HURTING EACH OTHER.
SO PLEASE. JUST WAKE UP.
IF YOU DO... AT LAST, I WILL LET YOU GO COMPLETELY.
I WILL LET YOU GO TO A FARAWAY PLACE.
FAR, FAR AWAY FROM ME.
TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN NO LONGER SEE YOU, AND YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE ME.
FAR, FAR AWAY.
GOODBYE, ANNETTE ROZENBERG.
GOODBYE, TO THE NAME THAT RULED OVER MY ENTIRE LIFE...
While supervising the rescue efforts at the collapse site, the Commander prays for Annette to be found. After hours of searching, a nurse and a soldier are found alive under the piano on the church altar. As the severely injured Annette is being transferred to the hospital, the commander is hit in a sniper attack and vows never to leave her.
