Chapter 4
-black screen-
saki: Nn…
saki: (Huh? What… happened to me? I can’t see anything, and I can’t move either… That’s right, I remember now. Someone suddenly grabbed my arm and I was taken away somewhere…)
saki: Nmngh….
saki: (I can’t talk… is my mouth gagged too…? Just who did this…)
???: —Are you awake?
saki: (That voice, it’s the man that kidnapped me…!)
???: Quiet, calm down. When you’re in a situation that you can’t comprehend, the first thing that you should do is breathe. Think whilst you slowly breathe in and out. If you do so, you’ll calm yourself. Breathe in… and out.
saki: ……
???: Whilst you’re settling down, listen to what I have to say. I will explain the situation. I kidnapped you by my own hand, you are currently tied to a chair.
saki: …..!
???: I will untie you now but I advise you don't try to resist. Stay put and sit there quietly. It would be easy for me to incapacitate you. So for both of our sakes, please choose the wise option to behave.
-blindfold is removed-
-old starless back room-
saki: (This place is… if I’m not mistaken it’s inside of the old Starless building. For some reason… I feel like I can hear something…?)
???: As long as you stay there quietly without resisting, I can promise you that I will not harm you. Got it?
saki: …Yes, sir.
???: Thank you. Feel free to relax. If you have any requests I will fulfill them where possible.
saki: Then… is it ok for me to ask you a question too?
???: Provided that it is something that I can answer, yes.
saki: What are you planning to do with me?
???: When the time comes, I will release you. However, until then, I will have you stay with me.
-screen flashes white-
saki: (Ugh, for some reason the back of my head has started to hurt…)
saki: What do you mean by ‘when the time comes’?
???: This is somewhat of an experiment being conducted on you. I can tell that the results are not are not far off. If Kei manages to find this place, that is…
saki: Kei-san…?
-screen flashes again-
saki: (My head really hurts… it’s making me dizzy. I can hear… music…)
saki: …Do you have some sort of connection with Kei-san?
???: That’s—
-big screen flash, screen goes all blurry-
saki: (My vision… I feel so dizzy I can barely see anymore. My head feels as if it’s going to split in two.)
-another big white flash-
???: What’s wrong? You’ve gone pale.
saki: (I have to pull myself together… but—)
???: …Let’s end our chat here. You can sleep for a little longer.
-screen goes black-

Chapter 5
-haseyama’s office-
unei: Yakou-san, are you free now? It’s just about the ingredients order list…
yakou: Oh yeah, I already checked it earlier and made some corrections.
unei: Huh? Didn’t you say that you were busy with your company’s work?
yakou: I was, but I got through it all surprisingly fast. In my case it appears I can work more efficiently when I’m busy with both the store work and my company work.
unei: Working on two completely different jobs… at the same time…? I think I would get everything completely muddled up. Thanks to you Yakou-san the store is running smoothly, but I wonder if Saki-san is ok. Truthfully even I would like to go and help search for her, I hope she’s safe…
yakou: We have to leave it to everyone else and do what we can for now.
unei: That’s true, let’s protect the store!
yakou: Oh right, about tonight’s shift…
sotetsu: Wow, so you really are using this room.
yakou: Hm, Sotetsu? Did you need something?
sotetsu: Not exactly, I guess I just wanted to see for myself how our acting owner operates.
yakou: Acting owner…? What are you talking about?
sotetsu: I heard that while Haseyama is in the hospital you’ve become the substitute owner in his place.
yakou: Huh? Have I!? What’s up with that, who did you hear that from?
sotetsu: Hmm I wonder who it was again, since the rumour has been spread far and wide y’know. It’s even reached the guests, they’ve been saying their congratulations on your assumption of ownership.
yakou: You’ve gotta be kidding… Since when was that going around…
unei: Yakou-san being the acting owner huh… That would be nice. Compared to the boss it's like heaven and hell!
yakou: No, this isn’t good at all, I need to put a stop to that baseless rumour…
unei: True, if the boss heard it he wouldn’t be happy. I wonder when he’ll be discharged from the hospital?
sotetsu: Haseyama will be in there for a good while. Injuries are injuries after all.
unei: I heard that he got caught up in a fight, were his wounds really that serious?
yakou: Huh? Fight?
unei: Yes, Takami-san told me to wait until things had calmed down before I go and visit him. I guess it really must be bad.
sotetsu: Drop it drop it, he won’t be able to handle the shock.
yakou: …Yeah, rest is his number one priority right now.
unei: I-Is he in such a serious condition!? Then… I’m worried but I’ll stop here. Though, I hope we’ll be able to see Saki-san and the boss’ smiling faces again soon! Until then, let’s do our best to maintain the store, acting owner!
yakou: Now you’ve even got Unei-kun saying it…

Chapter 6
-staff office-
nekome: Oh there you are. Taiga~ Can I bother you for a sec?
taiga: What? I’m busy right now.
nekome: Wow, is this all security camera footage you’re watching? It looks like a live feed of the downtown area, what are you doing?
taiga: I’m investigating them for possible masked footage. I’ve been
duped by something like that before.
nekome: Hm? Is this camera inside a building? I feel like I recognise that place.
taiga: That’s the internal security camera in the old Starless building. I was told to check it periodically but nothing strange seems to be going on there right now.
nekome: So that camera still works huh. Hmm…
taiga: By the way, if you’re not here for anything then can you buzz off? I’m busy.
nekome: Oh right, I forgot. I wanted to ask you to check what’s on this.
-hands taiga a USB-
nekome: This was mixed up in the mail. It was in an envelope that had nothing written on it and wasn’t addressed to anyone. I want to see what’s on it but just sticking it right into a computer is…
taiga: Huh? That’d be suicide.
nekome: As I’d thought then? But if you handle it you have a way you can open it safely don’t you?
taiga: Hmm… fine then. Lend me it for a sec. That’s it that’s it, there’s no need to be afraid USB-chan, so let me see what’s inside of you~….. There we go.
nekome: Oh? Did it work?
taiga: Mm… There’s nothing but image data on here but it’s all corrupted.
nekome: Corrupted image files huh. Can those be restored?
taiga: Huuh? What a pain…
nekome: Ah, so even you aren’t able to do something like this then Taiga? Sorry sorry.
taiga: Excuse me? I didn’t say I couldn’t do it.
nekome: No no, I wouldn’t want you to over do it, thank you though~
taiga: Wait, I just have to restore it right? I’ll do it.
nekome: Uwah, if my little brother is that easy to swindle you’re going to make me worry.
taiga: It’s not like I’m doing this to flatter you. I’m also interested to see what these images are. …Nice, it’s done.
nekome: Amazing as ever-! So what do we have here…?
taiga: What’s this? An image of a flyer for a bargain sale?
nekome: Wow, the eggs are cheap.
taiga: There’s not much else apart from this… So it was just some sort of prank in the end, tch.
yakou: Taiga, the hall is really busy, could you come and help out?
taiga: Ah, roger.
nekome: Could I take a closer look at this flyer image Taiga?
taiga: What are you going to gain from staring at an image like that? What are you, a housewife?
nekome: Ahaha, take care in the hall.
-yakou and taiga leave-
nekome: Now then, I’m a little interested in this ‘prank’….
-nekome taps the keyboard-
nekome: Ah, so it is a masked image after all. The real image is… Nn? This is… for one of our old shows. Then that means, this really is for real then huh. Hmm… I guess it can’t be helped, since it’s for her sake. Since we’ve kindly been invited, shall I pass this on to the intended
person?
—end
Chapter 7
-staff office-
kei: You’re all here. Then we shall commence sharing the current information we have all gained. First, Team W, what do you have to report?
kokuyou: I asked some of the guys that hang around here and caught wind of some possible spots but they were all a bust. I’ve written the
places down here, other than that, nothing.
kei: Next is Team P.
rindou: Recently in this area there appears to have been incidents involving large organisations, however none of them have been made public knowledge. It may be possible Saki-san got mixed up in something like that…
kei: Hm… Next is Team C.
mokuren: The culprit is a nasty ass bastard that sprinkles around false information to throw us off. Their goal isn’t Princess herself. I will continue to observe how things progress during the uproar of this kidnapping.
kokuyou: Tch, shut up.
kei: …Next is Team B.
mizuki: I beat up and asked some punks who were lointering around the area. Turns out they were after somethin’ called ‘black card’. Seems like Saki could be involved with that though, but I don’t know how.
kei: I see. Then, Lastly will be Team K. The place where Saki is being held captive should not be too far away from the store. Also, the culprit is likely acting alone. I do not think they have any accomplices.
mokuren: Tch… None of these reports tell us anything concrete.
kokuyou: Knowing that she’s somewhere nearby is plenty. It just means we need to go and look for her on foot right?
mokuren: Staying here any longer is a waste of time. I’m returning to the search.
rindou: Me too, I’m going to try asking around once more.
mizuki: If I beat the shit outta all the punks hanging around then one of ‘ems eventually gotta be the one holding Saki captive!
-they all leave-
kei: …….
nekome: Oh there you are, got a moment~?
kei: What is it?
nekome: Not too long ago a dubious USB stick was delivered to the store. On it was an image of a bargain sale flyer… at least, that’s what it was made to look like. In reality, it was this. An image of a flyer for the show ‘The Red Shoes’.
kei: ‘The Red Shoes’…. If I remember correctly that was a show from the era of the old Starless.
nekome: This is quite a profound discovery is it not?
kei: ……..
kei: We are keeping a close check on the security camera in the old Starless building, I have not heard reports of anything being out of place
there.
nekome: Taiga hasn’t told you? It seems that our culprit-san has tampered with the security cameras in the downtown area too.
kei: …I see. You did say that even the data of this image had been disguised.
nekome: Can I leave the rest to you then? I’m not good with matters that could turn violent.
kei: I will head to old Starless right away.
gui: Kei, I will come with you.
kei: As you wish, let’s proceed.

Chapter 8
-old starless back room-
saki: Nn…….
saki: (My heads been hurting this whole time… I must’ve spaced out…)
???: So you’ve finally arrived.
saki: Huh….?
-kei and gui walk in-
kei: Saki! Are you hurt?
saki: (What? Kei-san and Gui-san? Is this… a dream?)
gui: Saki, we’ve finally found you.
kei: My deepest apologies that it took us this long.
saki: …Kei-san? Is this… actually reality? Gui-san too… I…
kei: You don’t need to force yourself to speak, it’s ok. It looks like walking may be difficult for you. Would you grant me permission to carry you in my arms?
saki: Yes…
-kei picks her up-
kei: I’ll get you to a hospital right away. Everything will be ok now, I’ll get there right away…
gui: Master!
gui’s master: You finally found the place huh.
kei: So this was your doing after all. What is your aim?
gui’s master: I already told her this too but, this was an experiment. And also a wake-up call to you.
gui: An experiment… That’s why you kidnapped Saki?
kei: What foolish things are you saying? Why did you drag Saki into this?
gui’s master: I wouldn’t say I dragged her into it. Rather, I think this woman herself is already the eye of the storm.
kei: ……
gui’s master: Your methods of protecting her are inexperienced, weak and childish. Prepare yourself. Next time it won’t be settled as easily as this.
gui: Master, wait.
gui’s master: Gui?
gui: I’ve been waiting for you this whole time, just as you ordered me to. Have you come to summon me?
gui’s master: No, that’s not the case.
gui: What… should I do?
gui’s master: As I told you, learn what a ‘heart’ is at Starless. Have you come to a conclusion?
gui: …I don’t know.
gui’s master: Is that so. In that case I cannot take you with me then. I’ll be taking my leave now.
-screen goes black-
saki: (…I can hear music playing again. It’s so loud… My consciousness is……..)

Chapter 9
-hospital room-
saki: (Is this… the hospital? I…)
kei: Have you come to, Saki?
saki: Kei-san….
kei: You don’t need to force yourself to sit up, please take it easy. How is your condition, are you in pain anywhere?
saki: I’m ok.
kei: I see. …I really am truly sorry we could not rescue you sooner. It must have been so scary and difficult for you. Please allow me to take responsibility for all the distress you’ve endured.
saki: No, it’s ok…
-screen flashes white-
saki: (….Huh? I can… hear something.)
kei: Whilst assuring that I’d protect you I allowed such a situation to happen… You were right under my nose and yet I still noticed too late.
saki: (I really can hear something. This music… it’s gradually getting louder and louder… The more I listen the more I feel like I’m spacing out.)
kei: I’ve caused an unbearable burden to be placed onto your mind and body… I understand if you do not want to forgive me, but please at the very least grant me permission to stay by your side.
saki: (Is it really Kei-san that’s here in front of me? I can’t tell…)
-screen flashes-
saki: (The music…)
kei: Saki?
-cut scene starts, screen starts getting all distorted-
???(saki): Huh…? I’m…?
???(saki): Who am I?
-screen fills with the question ’who am I’-
-flashbacks play on screen whilst BLACKSTAR plays-
kei: —!!
saki: Eh…? Sorry, Kei-san, I couldn’t hear what you were saying over the music. What was it?
kei: Music? But there is no… My bad, you must be feeling tired again. Please get some rest, I’ll be right here.
saki: Ok…
kei: Please be at ease. Because I will definitely keep you safe.

A lot of text flashes briefly on the screen during Saki’s flashback sequence, for anyone wondering here is what the readable portions say.
This is when Saki first met Heath, ‘Chiaki’ is written all over the place in different ways.
"What was that… just now? where? there's so much blood, it's so red, so red, I don't know anything about this, I know (unreadable)” white kanji in the background says ‘memories?’
“Have we met before? the first person I met, we’ve met before, my head hurts, help me, it hurts”
