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.

...Thank you. Right now... right now, we just gotta keep doing what we're doing, right? What he wants, n' fighting back how we can.
[Her work finished, she pushes herself to her feet and faces the target again.]
Forward. Relentlessly!
[Bang.
...And she hits the outer rim of the target. Her aim leaves something to be desired. But it looks like Dazai's offer has cheered her up a little, at least.]
