The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.
Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.
Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.
It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

It's still really sad that you had to do it in the first place, but... I don't hate you for doing it for those reasons, Oda-san.

[ oda doesn't feel sad, at least. but maybe that's because he's grown so used to pulling the trigger. ]
Nine's situation was a lot sadder, I think.

So don't worry about me, Sakura. I'll be alright.

Alright. But don't worry too much, ok?

Sakura really is the mom friend, even if she's a child. ]
