Something came to light. They could not find anything about the criminals. At first, they thought it was because they had not committed any crimes. But... it was not only their criminal records that were hidden. Their entire identities were being kept secret... What is going on with Hans' military?
Viola: "I want you to please follow me, dear Crows."
Sophie: "Sure."
Fiona: "Yes."
Viola: "Hmm..."
Sophie: "Let's follow her."
They followed her.
Viola: "...These here are our female members."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "Hmm..."
They were working on their pistols.
Sophie: "(Hmm...did we...go too far? I...think she might have noticed it too.)"
Sophie looked at Fiona. Fiona looked as if she was thinking.
Sophie: "(Hmm, is she thinking about it too?)"
Fiona: "(Hmmm)...Question."
Viola: "Yes?"
Fiona: "Why are they so young?..."
Viola: "So young?"
Fiona: "Yes."
Sophie: "Hmm?...I wanted to ask that too. Is this normal? I thought they had to be at least 18?"
Viola: "They are trainees."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "I see."
Sophie: "Okay."
They continued walking. They looked around while Viola simply kept looking forward.
Sophie: "(Could Viola...be involved in this too?)"
Fiona: "(...Hmmm...Whatever it is...I don't trust her...Lady Natasha...and Jose...Hmmm...Something is wrong...Sophie has noticed it too...but she is afraid that Viola might also have something to do with it...After all, she was adopted by Hans...)"
Sophie: "(Please, Viola...)"
Viola: "I have to go to work now. You are welcome to return tomorrow and look over the documents again."
Sophie: "Sure...Viola...Here."
Viola: "Hmm."
A chocolate bar.
Sophie: "You used to love it...didn't you?"
Viola: "Ugh...mmmm...thank you."
She took it.
Sophie: "Goodbye."
She hugged her.
Viola: "Huh?"
Sophie: "(...Maybe something happened.)"
Fiona: "(I understand...Sophie is trying to handle this in her own way...Hmmm...Viola's expression tells me...that...she isn't used to something like this...She is...probably...overwhelmed.)"
Viola: "Mmm...okay."
Sophie and Fiona walked away.
Viola: "Mmm..."
(Pump!) (Pump!)
Viola: "...I'm sorry, Sophie..."
Meanwhile
Marcus: "...No names...no data...nothing at all...as if these people never even existed."
Rosika: "Yeah, really strange."
Siegfried: "Hmm...but why?"
Marcus: "...Hahh...I don't want to think that Hans...is really doing something bad...Hans was a good person...but the war back in Budapesz...seems to have changed him."
Siegfried: "Okay...they were criminals...but is it worth killing someone for minor crimes like stealing and shoplifting?..."
Marcus: "Of course not...Executions are only for people who commit murder and sexual abuse...and also people who intentionally drive others to suicide."
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hmmm..."
Fiona: "Are you sure?"
Sophie: "Yes...let's go in there through this path...there must be something there..."
Fiona: "Okay."
Sophie: "Okay."
They looked around. A guard was standing there.
Sophie: "Hey..."
Guard: "Oh...you're Sophie...one of the Crows. Where is your colleague Fiona?"
Sophie: "Behind you."
Guard: "Huh?"
She knocked him unconscious.
(Crash!)
Guard: "Oh..."
She caught him.
Sophie: "Huhh..."
Fiona: "Good...let's go inside...come on."
Sophie: "Yes."
They went inside.
Sophie: "Hmm...where are we?"
Fiona: "Looks like a secret passage..."
Sophie: "Hmm...a bunker."
Fiona: "Yes."
Sophie: "A bunker from the Heitelheimar War back then?"
Fiona: "It doesn't have to be..."
Sophie: "Hmmm."
They entered a room.
Sophie: "Hmm..."
There were several boards...with several pictures hanging on them.
Sophie: "Hmm?"
She took one of the pictures.
Sophie: "Huh...Fiona...come here."
Fiona: "Hmm..."
Sophie: "Hh..."
She went over to her.
Sophie: "Look."
Fiona: "Hmmm..."
Sophie: "...(Silent)."
A photo of someone tied to a chair...and apparently brutally tortured.
Sophie: "What does this mean?"
Fiona: "I have no idea."
Sophie: "Was this during the war?"
Viola: "No."
Sophie: "Huh!"
Fiona: "Ugh."
They turned around. It was Viola.
Viola: "Don't worry...I wanted you to come here...that's why I only left one guard."
Sophie: "Viola, what does this mean? What are these torture pictures?"
Viola: "...These are Grazburg soldiers...during the genocide. When Budapesz was freed...the people were still angry...some groups formed to kill Grazburg citizens out of anger...And even though Hans...had helped and saved them...they captured his son, the one in the picture, and tortured and killed his wife and his siblings...Hans...has been changed ever since...The people he saved...killed his family...Luckily...he wasn't there...and I was still at the station...Hans searched for the people who had done this to his family...so he took pictures of every one of them while he tortured them..."
Sophie: "Ugh."
Viola: "Hahh..."
Fiona: "So that's how it is."
Viola: "Well...but...I thought Hans would finally become the Hans I used to know again...But...ever since then...he has changed..."
Sophie: "Why weren't the female trainees here yesterday?"
Viola: "It's nothing perverted, don't worry...but...the training is very...too harsh..."
Sophie: "I see. That's why they looked so tired."
Fiona: "Why only the women?"
Viola: "...Well...Hans says women are welcome here, but with different training...he doesn't make any exceptions..."
Sophie: "Okay...And the people who were executed...we found out that they...had barely committed anything, only stealing...did they have something to do with what happened to his family?"
Viola: "Hmmm...If you noticed...none of the executed people had actually done anything really terrible...But...their families had."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Viola: "Hans believes that evil can be passed down through blood."
Sophie: "Nonsense!"
Fiona: "Is he crazy?"
Viola: "Hahh...Those people were the children of some...well-known criminals...but I have to agree with you...that is wrong...even if they committed criminal acts, they weren't serious crimes."
Sophie: "Why are you telling us this?"
Viola: "...I want you to stop him...I...will give you the documents you need..."
(Radio!)
Marcus: "Hello, Sophie...Fiona?"
Sophie: "Marcus?"
Marcus: "The documents about these people are gone. There is nothing about them."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Viola: "Of course...Hans took care of that. Only the documents from the Dark Umbrella are still there...He couldn't simply get rid of those..."
Sophie: "What do we do now?"
Viola: "Report it to the Dark Umbrella..."
Hans: "Oh. So that's how it is."
Sophie: "Huh?!"
Several soldiers appeared.
Hans: "...Take them."
Viola: "No, wait, Hans."
Hans: "Shut up, traitor...Take her as well."
They knocked her unconscious.
He stepped on the radio.
Hans: "Hmph."
Meanwhile
Marcus: "Hahh."
Siegfried: "We have to go to them."
Marcus: "You...report it to the Dark Umbrella quickly..."
Siegfried: "Yes, sir. And you?"
Marcus: "I'm going to help them."
A few minutes later
Sophie: "Mmmm..."
Hans: "Well...awake?"
Sophie: "Hans?"
Hans: "Sorry...that must have hurt."
Sophie: "Hans...what are you doing?"
Hans: "...I...didn't want to do this to you...but I guess I have to."
Sophie: "Hans...please...What happened to the hero...the hero of Budapesz?"
Hans: "Hero?"
(Crash!)
He kicked the chair away.
Hans: "...Hero?...Hmph...Would a hero be treated like this?!...I'm sure Viola told you what they did to my family!...They killed my wife...my children...The people I saved...killed my family..."
Sophie: "Ugh."
Hans: "...Hahh...Not only them...They also took and killed many of my comrades...And...and all because of what happened with Grazburg...Understandable, but I come from Weimarer, not Grazburg...just because we have similar names...sorry that both have similar cultures and names!"
Sophie: "Hhh."
Viola: "(Cough)...hhhh...Huh!"
Sophie: "Viola...there you are..."
Fiona: "(Cough)...mmm...what's going on?"
Sophie: "You too, Fiona...Hahh...Hans, please...let them go...Do whatever you want to me."
Hans: "What are you talking about?...Do I look like a monster to you? I would never hurt you...You are my comrades...hahh...I...will only use the John Titor device to make you forget this day...that's all."
Sophie: "Hans...please...Then why did you execute those people?"
Hans: "Those people?...You mean the ones from yesterday...They were the children of the people who killed my children...Some of them later moved to several kingdoms...but only because they found out that I...was hunting them...They married and started new families...in several kingdoms...and most of them came here...to Villicia...I will kill anyone who is related to the people who killed my family."
Sophie: "You can't just kill people because of what their parents did! I beg you, Hans!!"
Viola: "Mmm."
Fiona: "Hehehehehehe...hahahahahahaha."
Fiona started laughing.
Hans: "Hmm?...What's so funny?"
Fiona: "Let me guess...deep down, you know exactly that what you're doing...is wrong..."
Hans: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "But you want to forget this anger and guilt, right?"
Hans: "Ughh..."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "You failed to protect your family...then...let me ask you a question...where were you when they were murdered?"
Hans: "Ughh..."
Fiona: "Hmmm...Sophie, do you remember something?"
Sophie: "Hans...the documents said that you were in a bar that day...completely drunk...Alcohol addiction and drug addiction were also mentioned in the documents."
Hans: "Ghhh..."
Sophie: "Instead of letting others blame you...think about it yourself."
Fiona: "Forget it...You were never a hero."
Hans: "What!...I saved people!"
Fiona: "And killed people...There is no such thing as heroes...there are only people who survive in their own way...To the people of Budapesz, you were a hero, but as soon as they found out which kingdom you came from, you were no longer a hero..."
Hans: "Ughh..."
Sophie: "...We have killed people too, Hans...even if they weren't good people...Still...killing is never right...Heroes...you were a hero to me, and you still were not long ago...but since you killed people...even innocent people just because of their bloodline...I mean, how can you still call yourself good?!"
Hans: "I am a good person!"
Fiona: "A good person?...How do you know that?...Hmm? To me, you're someone who is still stuck in the past...There's no question that you saved people, but don't forget that you...Sophie and I...all work for the Dark Umbrella...Are you trying to tell me they are always pure?...Remember the village in Grazburg?"
Hans: "Ugh."
Sophie: "The Dark Umbrella...found out that one of the Grazburg officers was hiding in a village, but they didn't know what he looked like...so they..."
Viola: "Wiped out the entire village with poison."
Hans: "Ugh."
Sophie: "And you...were the leader of that operation...You stopped the war...but through sacrifices!...I knew that you had been there...but I didn't know you were the leader...When Fiona and I saw your documents...we were shocked...Hans...wake up..."
Hans: "I...but..."
Sophie: "I know...it's unfair that only you have to suffer because of it...but still...you also killed the families of people...Why...do you think you have the right to make people pay for that, but when you do it, you say it was an order...is that an excuse for the deaths of innocent people? Children...women...old people...or men?"
Hans: "Hmmm...you don't understand...In war, there have to be sacrifices."
Sophie: "Huh."
Hans: "Damn it...I...I did give the order, yes...but I wasn't told that the people...were there...I was told that the village had been evacuated!...And that only soldiers were hiding there...They didn't tell me that the soldiers were there simply because they came from that village...I only found out later...I would never kill a child..."
Sophie: "...Ugh..."
Viola: "...Mmm."
Fiona: "Lady Natasha was there too back then?"
Sophie: "She was even...the leader, wasn't she?"
Hans: "That damn bitch and that fool Einsenheim...they ordered it...That's why I'm honestly not satisfied...Why did you kill Lady Natasha?!...Why didn't you torture her...Huh?...Answer me, Fiona..."
Fiona: "Hahh..."
Hans: "...She didn't deserve a quick death..."
Fiona: "Yes...perhaps."
Hans: "Ghhhh...I...I only did it to stop Einsenheim."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Hans: "Hahhh...This military...was built up by Einsenheim...That means...if cruel things happen here...he will be responsible for them."
Sophie: "Ugh."
Hans: "Hmph...But one thing I have to say...The fact that he actually sends me such young girls to train here...shows what a pervert he is...The women he sent are innocent...they can't even kill a spider...When I asked him what that was supposed to mean...he told me...the boys at your station probably want to see some pretty faces...That man...is the worst. He hasn't changed...Lady Minerv may be strange too...but she still has morals...but that man is a fool, a coward..."
Sophie: "Hmmm."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Sophie: "Do you have proof that he sends the women here just for attention?"
Hans: "Yes, I do...The women are...are...young...and...some of them are homeless."
Sophie: "What?"
Viola: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Good...Hans...how about we work together so that this fool...finally disappears?"
Hans: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "I have an idea. Just give us the documents and the recordings."
