S1 E5: Fresh Air

-RECAP-

You, Subaru, Felt, and Rom died that fateful night in the loot house....And spawning back to the savepoint made everything worse. Back to square NONE...

Kadomon: Quit standing there, you two. Are you guys gonna buy appas or not?

-Damn, that voice...sounds familar-

Kadomon: Hey, kid...Are you okay?

-Curling up into the ball in the street, Jiro began "talking" to himself-

Jiro: We can't go back...We can't go back...We can't go back...

Kadomon: Damn, you're scaring away all my customers...Here lemme help you <Reaching to grab the boy>

Jiro: NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! 

Kadomon: A-A-Alright, kid...

-Staggering his movements, he felt entirely sick in the stomach...barfing out in anxiety...Jiro couldn't control it...-

Jiro: There's nothing I can do <Frustrated> FUCK!

Subaru: J-J-Jiro....is everything---

Jiro: Leave me alone, Subaru. Don't talk to me...

Subaru: What's wrong---

-Releasing a Paradoxical Laughter caused Subaru to step back from me-

Jiro: (Chuckles) What's wrong? What's wrong with you?! 

Subaru: ME?!

Jiro: Yes....You...Natsuki Subaru...Why did you have to tell---her---that?

Subaru: Tell her what---oh...

Jiro: Yeah...You're such an liability...I thought we had it in the bag...until...

QUICK FLASHBACK

Subaru: OH, I PLAN ON RETURNING IT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER....

-Appalled by what he just said, we could've gotten out...ALIVE-

Elsa: I see....

-Letting go of the doorknob, the chick turns around and dashes at Rom before grabbing a mug glass....shattering it until she jabs the thing into his damn throat. Fuck!-

Elsa: I can't let any of you live...

Felt: (Tearful) W-W-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Elsa: That boy is a threat...<insane smirk> he's working with our enemy...

END OF QUICK FLASHBACK

Jiro: Don't you see...I tried...and...tried my absolute best to settle the negotiation peaceful...but learning from my mistakes...doing this task "alone" would be better.

Subaru: I-I-I'm sorry, Jiro. I didn't mean to be

Jiro: So naive? Figuring out how you've been acting lately...I can see it in your "eyes"...

Subaru: See what?!

Jiro: Selfishness...

Subaru: Oh, and how am I selfish?

Jiro: The truth is you want to grab that insignia not because of moral ideals...but for a DAMN GIRL....You're trying so hard to win her heart and can't see the big picture!
