WEEK 3: April 15th - April 19th

[cartesio]

Third Week

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.

[clearities]

I don't think he's doing all of this because he wants to... I'm pretty sure he's doing it because he was ordered to.

[carbide]

Then it could be his employer who hates their happiness.

[clearities]

I guess it's possible...

[quickpersuader]

Actually...

When I spoke with him, he didn't seem to care about what happened with the townspeople, saying things like how they're irrelevant and how he doesn't have any affection for this town, and how it's only a place to keep us. But he did say a few interesting things.

"Being satisfied with a miserable existence goes against everything I believe in." When I asked him about people satisfied with a peaceful life, he ordered me to leave.

[clearities]

So do you think that he doesn't like people being satisfied with a peaceful life...? Or like, a simple one, maybe? But I asked him specifically if he hated the happiness of the people here and he said he didn't-- um, he said that he didn't mind people's happiness? And that hating it would make him a petty person, which he's not. He... didn't sound like he was lying to me.

[quickpersuader]

He isn't a very good liar, that's true.

[Wow Kino.]

But if he "doesn't mind" their happiness, that could be the same as "doesn't care." The happiness or misery of the townspeople might not be what's connected to his goal.

[clearities]

... Did he lie to you about something, Kino-san? [ This is where the conversation's going now, sure. ] But I think so, too.

[quickpersuader]

Occasionally he tries to cover things up, but he always gets flustered when he realizes he might have said too much.

[Actually...]

Incidentally, the bailiffs - the two without faces are his robots, but the one who hid their face is human.

[clearities]

I see. [ Sakura will definitely remember that. ] I get it, though... I mean, he thought I was asking him questions to get him to slip, even though I really just wanted to know him a little better. [ And talking with him about things that weren't about murder is. It's nice. ] I wonder why the other one hid their face, though...

[quickpersuader]

Well, it's not that hard to do...

[Sarge...]

Anyway, they must have had some reason for it.

[clearities]

Really? [ That's a little surprising. ] Maybe... they're shy?

[quickpersuader]

I think it's probably more likely they just have something to hide.

[clearities]

What would they even hide? Are they hurt...?

[quickpersuader]

Their identity.

[clearities]

Their identity? Why?

[quickpersuader]

Lots of people have reasons for hiding things. Sometimes, it's something only the person themselves can answer.
