[Door Opens]
Hilda
Congratulations. Your performance went so well.ConneR
What a pleasant surprise. Ms. Turner, what brings you here?Hilda
I just wanted to say thank you... That day, when the structure was about to collapse, I discovered that someone had opened up the safety route... and those kind words left behind.ConneR
Ha. A little late, wouldn't you say? It wasn't much for me to do. Plus, that journey of ours was very beneficial to me. Helping the two of you was merely a bonus. No need to think much of it.Hilda
Beneficial? What could you have gotten out of it? I saw you flee the room...ConneR
Sorry, m' lady. Before you pointed that trembling firearm at me, I had already stashed away those fragmentary documents, including the patient records... Perhaps you should have paid more attention to what my back hand was doing.Hilda
You sneaky bastard...!ConneR
Haha. Don't get all riled up. Thanks to this, you've got a lot more things to deal with regarding Mr. Turner's condition. It's just the two of us who are in on the secret. Would you like to hear my thoughts on the matter?
[Fast Forward]
Hilda
You mean... The time he comes from... existed long, long ago. Is that right?ConneR
That's right. Mr. Turner received treatment while in a state of cryopreservation. But, due to a series of unexpected events, hundreds of years passed before him... That is my theory.Hilda
…ConneR
Very much like Arabian Nights, no? I never even considered that as a possibility. I was misled by my own prejudices, which caused an error in my judgment... Ha. A bit pathetic, actually.Hilda
So, the story that is contained in that piece of music... was implanted into his memory. That's why he keeps having that dream?ConneR
I think "integrated" would be a better way of putting it. Melody, emotion, story... These mediums stimulate our perception. To the ancients, they were all similar concepts. They didn't just possess transformative technology; they used it to create chips like the one we found to try and save people's lives. It's just that after hundreds of years, the story began to cover Mr. Turners actual memories…Hilda
So, that's why he's forgotten about the time he came from. He lost his loved ones... and even his name was taken away... by that story...ConneR
As for that, I tend to look at it from another perspectiveHilda
...? What do you mean?ConneR
Although I'm not familiar with all aspects of the story, such overwhelming warmth and grief must have touched Mr. Turner deeply... To tell you the truth, based on his medical records, that's precisely why the medical team used it to stabilize his psychological condition.Hilda
….ConneR
Yes, a terribly unfortunate accident certainly occurred, but from the point of view of his family, the medical team, and even Mr. Turner himself, surely none of them would feel regret at the decision they made at that time... Otherwise, his piano playing wouldn't be so crisp, so full of emotion.Hilda
You mean... taking on that simulated memory, was Hans' schoice?ConneR
I can't speak for him, but... simulation and reality are not absolutely distinct, binary concepts. The line between the two is not as clear as we imagine it to be. All of us ought to think more like this.Hilda
... After hearing that piano piece, I can understand why you'd say that. Perhaps it's true.ConneR
Oh? We agree on something? What a rare treat. Speaking of which, the simulation database we found in the central control room, did you give it to the Exploration Team?Hilda
The chip? Of course. Something that important should be given to A.R.C. to preserve and take care of.ConneR
Again with the mindless thoughts. What a pity. If you had given it to me, we'd be able to unlock it's greatest potential... But a chip that damaged, it may not even be possible to fix... We'll see how good A.R.C. actually is.Hilda
Ha. Don't be so sure of yourself. This was a secret mission. Captain Edwards couldn't do whatever he wanted... But if you keep this up, A.R.C. is going to make you into a Level 1 fugitive. You barely got away.ConneR
Oh, come now. Ms. Turner, how unexpected that you show concern for me.Hilda
Don't kid yourself. It's only because Hans sees you as his teacher that I bring it up... Whatever you choose to do, that's up to you.ConneR
Fickle, fickle... In any case, have I helped Mr. Turner find a passion outside of playing the piano?Hilda
Do I dare say? He wants to become an explorer and dig up more ancient melodies... Geez, if you hadn't swindled him, perhaps he would have found some other interests. But look, you've got him interested in such a dangerous profession!ConneR
Haha. What a wonderful set of events... Is he still undergoing exploration training?Hilda
It's wrapped up. Since his application is unique, his training wasn't as rigorous as the formal Exploration Team's... Which is good. He won't be able to go out there as much.ConneR
Nevertheless, he'll have to hand over his findings to A.R.C., what shame….Hilda
Hmph. Don't think he's like you, no regard for the law. That's what he decided. He didn't want his choice to be influenced by either one of us.ConneR
Oh... Hehe... Haha... HAHAHA!!!Hilda
... ls something funny?ConneR
Momma bird can no longer protect her pretty, little baby boy... What a pity. But all is well. I wish him the best on his journeys. He heads out today, is that correct?Hilda
!? How'd you know... Wait a second! How'd you know about his training...?ConneR
Don't underestimate my sources, Ms. Turner. The train is about to leave. Aren't you going to escort him? If you see him again, I'm sure you won't have much time to talk.Hilda
... No. We've spoken enough.ConneR
Ah... I see.Hilda
But if you want to see him off, you should have enough time to catch up with him... I'm sure he'd like to see you.ConneR
No. No need.Hilda
Okay... Up to you.ConneR
Ah, yes. Ms. Turner, allow me to take one more moment of your time. I'm curious. Did you always know about the hole in the back of his head?Hilda
...I don't know what you're talking about.ConneR
Okay?Hilda
If anyone knows about this, he'll be taken away for sure. So, that answer will never change. I am very selfish, after all. I must be going.ConneR
Humans are naturally selfish. Yet this quality is not born out of blind greed, but out of concern for others... That is to say, love... Ha. Humans... Perhaps they're more valuable than I imagined them to be.
