Joe the Flake [Kasumigaseki - KATO Mart]
[Only available on Day 1]
You see Joe coming out of a convenience store, with a magazine in his hand...
Joe: Hey, if it isn't Hiro. I haven't read "Shoji Leap" this week. Do you follow it?
> I'm into it.
> I'm not interested.
Joe: I was reading this while I was on the train, then that earthquake happened.
Joe: I lose my "Shoji Leap," my threads get all ripped up... Man, it's tough.
Joe: Oh... I was running late for a meeting, anyway, so I guess that's kind of a plus.
> A meeting?
> How is that good?
Joe: I think I was about half an hour late when it happened.
Joe: I thought I was going to get fired for that! It was a close call! ♪
It seems Joe is a habitually late person.
Joe: Well, I'll go. See you later.
Joe: Oh, about that convenience store... The food's all gone, but there's a lot of manga.
Joe: If you're going to take some, make sure you pay for it. Haha, I sound so old!
Joe walks away...
In Search Of... [Omotesando - Omotesando]
[Available Day 2 - {}???]
Joe is looking around curiously...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. Have you seen it?
> I have.
> What?
Joe: I'm talking about how I need to get a new suit. I mean, look at this.
[Joe shows Hiro a big tear in his suit.]
Joe: Maybe it happened while I was fighting Dubhe. These cost 500,000 yen! What a waste!
Joe: Although... they were only 5,000 yen overseas.
Joe: Hehe! Lucky, right? It's because I've been good.
Joe: I mean, wearing 500,000-yen clothes just feels so much better. You can touch them.
On closer inspection, the tag says "Armanyo."
> This is a fake.
> The tag...
Joe reads the tag on his jacket...
Joe: Bwuh!? What the HECK!? "Armanyo"!?
Joe: This is supposed to be... Aw, man.
Joe: ...... Oh, well. A suit's a suit.
Joe doesn't seem to care at all...
Joe: Man, I'm tired. I'll go get some rest somewhere.
Joe: ...Well, see you later.
Joe walks away...
The New World [Kyobashi - Akasaka Mall]
[Only available after arriving in Osaka.]
As you search for Keita, Joe comes over to talk to you...
Joe: Man, this brings back memories. I came here once with my girlfriend.
Joe: The mascot of Osaka... Uhh... Milliken?
Joe: She was taking all these pictures of it, saying, "Oh, Joe, Milliken's so cute!"
Joe: I don't see what's so cute about that creepy thing. Women are weird, right?
Woman's Voice: Hey! What're you going on about!?
An irate woman stomps over...
Joe: Huh!? What's she so mad about? Did you do something, Hiro?
Angry Woman: It's YOU, dolt! You were just talking about Milliken! Guess what?
Angry Woman: It's not "Milliken," you little twerp! The name of the thing is the "Billiken"!
Joe: Huh? Billiken? Like, with a B? Oh... that sounds right.
Angry Woman: Yeah! And don't you forget it!
Joe: Milliken, Billiken, it's close enough, right?
Angry Woman: No, it is not! You're going to get yourself cursed if you keep that up!
Joe: What? Why should I get a curse because of some statue?
Angry Woman: Billiken's the god of luck! What you're saying is blasphemy!
Joe: That thing's a god? Ahaha, it sure doesn't look like one!
Angry Woman: Y-You did it again! Get out of Osaka! You're not welcome here anymore!
The woman walks away...
Joe: Oh, yeah... I think she's right about the name. It's gotta be Billiken.
Joe: I think my girlfriend got mad at me too because I kept calling it the wrong name.
> A "female friend"?
> Your girlfriend?
Joe: Haha, getting personal there! She is what she is. I'll tell you about her another time.
Joe: Crap, we missed the chane to ask that lady about the place in the death clip.
Joe: ...Well, we gotta keep on moving, right?
You and Joe leave...
Hungry Joe [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
[I believe you get a different version of this Event if you're no longer looking for Keita :>]
As you search for Keita, Joe stops walking...
[If you've already saved Keita, instead you get:]
Joe is looking around...
Joe: This store's closed, too... Man, I'm hungry.
Joe: Oh, Kageyama. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have some "ketsune" udon?
> Sure.
> What's "ketsune" udon?
Joe: Oh... I knew. I'll tell you something cool. It's time for "Did You Know" with Mr. Joe!
Joe: In Tokyo, "kitsune" udon has udon or soba with aburaage...
Joe: And "tanuki" udon has tenkasu in with the noodles...
Joe: But in Osaka, "kitsune" refers to tenkasu udon.
Joe: ...And "tanuki" is the udon with the aburaage! Isn't that cuh-raaaazy?
Joe: Yeah, how d'ya like that knowledge bomb I'm dropping? Is your brain like, "BOOM!"?
Woman's Voice: ...Hey! It's you again!!
A woman comes running over...
Angry Woman: You're so full of crap!
Joe: ...Oh, hello again.
Angry Woman: Osaka's "kitsune" is aburaage UDON!
Angry Woman: And "tanuki" is aburaage SOBA! You're just spreading misinformation!
Joe: Huh? Isn't that what I said?
Angry Woman: No! And nobody calls it "ketsune" around here!
Angry Woman: Only a portion of Osaka people say that, and they don't even call it that all the time.
[If Hinako has joined your party, but you haven't saved Keita yet.]
Joe: Oh! Well, there's a new brain wrinkle. I should tell Daichi next time we see him.
Angry Woman: Are you really hearing the words coming out of my mouth...?
The woman walks away...
Joe: I shouldn't be wasting time like this, huh? Haha...
You and Joe leave the area...
Joe: Huh, I see. Oh, that's right. Can I ask you something?
Angry Woman: Wh-What? You're one of those guys who's always changing the subject, huh?
Joe: Can you take a look at this? We're trying to figure out where it takes place...
Joe: But we don't know much about Osaka, so we're kind of lost.
Angry Woman: ...!? Wh-What the hell is this!? You sick little bastard--!
Joe: Sorry, sorry... But this is important. Do you know where it's filmed?
Angry Woman: It's important? Well...
Angry Woman: ...I-I'm sorry. I don't know.
Joe: Huh... So this isn't like a famous part of the city or anything?
Angry Woman: Oh... Actually... I'm from Tokyo. I moved here last month.
Angry Woman: I wanted to be a real Osaka native, so I forced myself to learn their slang...
Joe: Ah, I see. Haha... No wonder you know so much about Osaka!
Joe: You know... Actual locals don't know much about Billiken and other tourist spots.
Angry Woman: Urgh... I'm sorry...
Joe: Nah, I don't mind. We'll keep asking around.
The woman walks away...
Joe: Well, shall we get going, Hiro? We've got to find Keita.
You and Joe leave the area...
Joe's Lady [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
[Available after arriving in Nagoya.]
Joe is staring up at a hospital...
Joe: ...Whoa. It's you, Hiro.
Joe: Uh... Haha, I don't think Daichi's here.
Joe: ...Well then, you want to go look somewhere else?
> What were you looking at?
> Need to go to the hospital?
Joe: Oh... Well... Are you really that curious?
Joe: Actually... my girlfriend's in the hospital. THIS hospital, in particular.
> Whose girlfriend?
> You have a girlfriend?
Joe: I just got back from going to visit her.
> How is she?
> Uh-oh...
Joe: I think she's okay. The building's pretty sturdy, since it's a hospital.
Joe: The nurse said that there weren't many demons around here, too.
> What did you GF say?
> The nurse said that?
Joe: Uh... Yeah, about that. I didn't see my girlfriend.
Joe: I mean, seeing her now would be really awkward.
Joe: Um... Well... You know what I mean, right?
Joe fidgets nervously...
Joe: Well, I'm relieved she's okay... I'm going now. See you later.
Joe walks away quickly...
Liminal State [Mei Station - Permina]
Joe stops you while you're walking around the underground shopping area...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. That Fumi person doesn't seem to be here. Wanna take a break?
Joe: I haven't been to Nagoya in a while, so I've gotta see everything.
Joe: I used to come here a lot with my girlfriend, too.
> Used to?
> A lot?
Joe: ...Didn't I tell you? I'm from Nagoya, though I don't come home very often.
Man's Voice: H-Hey, Joe...? Is that you?
A man comes running up to Joe...
Joe: Whoa...! I almost didn't recognize you, Kacchin!
Kacchin: You...! So you were in Negoya for everything!? I'm so glad you're safe...!
Joe: Yeah, well. It's good to see that you're okay, too.
Joe: I can't believe we're having a reunion here!
It seems this man is Joe's friend. They're both happy to see each other...
Joe: Oh, yeah, Kacchin. I want to ask you something. Do you know where this is?
[Joe shows Kacchin Jungo's death clip.]
Kacchin: Gah... What the hell!? He's dying! What's going on!?
Joe: Well, I can't really disclose that, but do you know where this is? I don't know it...
Kacchin: Hmmm... Seems pretty dimly lit.
Kacchin: Sorry, but I don't know. It doesn't look like a please I'd go regularly.
[Joe puts away his phone.]
Joe: Hmm... I see. Don't worry about it. It's our problem, after all.
Kacchin: Really? Well, sorry I couldn't help. Anyway...
Kacchin: What have you been up to in Tokyo? You never called, so I was worried about you.
Joe: Sorry. I was busy with work and stuff. Our company's been really busy.
Kacchin: ...I bet you haven't seen your girlfriend, either, if it's been like that.
Joe: Well, I mean, my job...
Kacchin: I heard that she's not doing so well... Her health hasn't been good lately...
Joe: Wait, what?
Kacchin: ......? Haven't you heard anything, Joe?
Joe: Oh... Right. Yeah, things aren't looking pretty.
Kacchin: ......
Joe: It'll work out all right in the end. It always has...
Kacchin: ...... You need to help her. She's been wanting to see you.
Kacchin: ...Well, I've got to go. I'm supposed to be meeting someone. See you again!
Joe's friend leaves...
Joe: ...Her health hasn't been good lately...?
> Are you okay?
> You didn't know?
Joe: ...... Well, at least Kacchin's safe.
Joe: Well then, let's go. Haha...
Joe: ......
Joe seems somber, but only for a moment...
Joe's Gift [Suidobashi - Stadium]
Joe starts chatting with you...
Joe: ...Hey, Hiro. Can I talk to you for a bit?
Joe: Well, uh... It's about my girlfriend. You know... my girlfriend?
Joe: I know what you want to say: "Why worry about her when there are enemies at Tokyo Tower?"
[After the Megrez fight, he'll say this line instead.]
Joe: I know what you want to say: "Why worry about her when we've got bigger fish to fry?"
Joe: But... this is really important to me, so I want you to listen.
> Okay.
> I suppose I can.
Joe: Haha... Thanks.♪ I know I can always count on you. Anyway...
Joe: I mentioned this before... But she's sick.
Joe: She's staying in a hospital in Nagoya right now...
Joe: And she's really ill... She's constantly in and out of the hospital.
Joe: I'm her boyfriend, so I should be with her, but I haven't seen her for a while.
Joe: I was blaming my job... making reasons not to go.
> Why?
> You don't like her?
Joe: ...I know myself too much. It's all a burden on me...
Joe smiles, with a touch of self-deception...
Joe: ...But I can't stay like this. I know I'm making her really sad.
Joe: I know I have to do something, but it's hard to take that first step...
Joe: I mean, what do I say to her?
Joe: But I can't not see her...
Joe: And so I'm in trouble.
> You should see her.
> You need to think about it.
Joe: ......
Joe: ...You're really a stand-up guy, Hiro. But you're not much younger than me.
Joe: Is that how you hit on girls too? Don't worry, you don't have to hide it from me.
Joe: ...Anyway, I'm gonna give it some more thought. Thanks for listening.
Joe walks away, deep in thought...
Man's Choice [Ikebukuro - Sunset Blvd]
Joe notices you and walks over...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. Thanks for the other day. You were a great help.
> I was?
> You mean your girlfriend?
Joe: Guess what... I just went and saw her.
Joe: I was so relieved. They said she was really ill, but she looked pretty good.
Joe: We were able to have a normal conversation. We talked a lot, haha!
Joe: ...... ...She didn't say anything bad about me... or get angry.
> That's good.
> She's very nice.
Joe: Yeah... I feel refreshed, like a weight has been lifted.
Joe: I even promised to marry her, so I'll have lots to do soon.
> You proposed?
> Why?
> Congratulations!
Joe: I thought it would all work out, somehow. In a world like this, crazy makes sense.
Joe: Aside from the ceremony and stuff, I guess we just needed to know how we felt.
Joe: I hope you'll make a speech at my wedding! I'm counting on you!
Joe: And, well... I'll take care of her, like I'm supposed to.
Joe: See you later. Think about that speech! I want something hilarious and tear-jerking! ♪
Joe looks serious for a moment...
Joe's Voice: Girl, you know we've been together such a long, long time... Doot do doo do...
Joe walks away, singing a strange song...
Tokyo Souvenir [Tokyo Station - Central Exit]
Joe starts chatting with you...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. I forget, are you from Tokyo?
> Yes.
> No.
> I'm an Earthling.
Joe: Is there anything special from Tokyo that girls like?
> Yep.
> Why?
Joe: Actually, I'm going to see my girlfriend, and I want to get her something to thank her.
> What'd she do?
> Why?
Joe: Oh, this. I ripped a hole in my suit and she sewed it back up for me.
Joe: Here... Do you remember? We picked up souvenirs on the way from Osaka to Nagoya.
Joe: It's acts of kindness like that that make people happy, so I was thinking...
Joe: I should get something from Tokyo for my girlfriend in Nagoya...
> Good idea.
> Is anything left?
Joe: Well... I'm going to go look anyway, even if I don't find anything.
Joe: So, Mr. Tokyo, tell me a good Tokyo souvenir.
> Kaminari okoshi.
> Ibaraki Banana.
> Wheat grass coffee.
Joe: All right, I'll get that. I can't go wrong with your recommendation!
Joe: I'll go look for it now... Wait.
Joe looks at his watch...
Joe: I don't think I have time to go look for a souvenir.
> Running late?
> Again?
> She's gonna dump you.
Joe: I guess it can wait until next time. I'm off to the hospital now. ...Thanks.
Joe slowly walks away...
Last Request [Fushimi - Electric Museum]
Joe is with Ronaldo...
Joe is carrying a heavy-looking cardboard box...
Joe: This is a great help! How are things on your end?
Ronaldo: Don't worry about it. These were for civilians anyway, so don't feel bad.
Joe: Thanks, Clicky. You sure are generous! I'm calling you Genericky from now on.
Ronaldo: ...That name doesn't even begin to make sense.
> What is that?
> Is that food?
Ronaldo: Hiro. I can't say this very loudly... but I took these supplies from JP's.
Ronaldo: I thought I'd use them to treat my team and civilians, so I stockpiled them.
Ronaldo: ...But I'm very impressed with you, Joe. Did you girlfriend ask you to do this?
Joe: Actually, it was her doctor. I said I was from JP's and he asked me to get him supplies.
Ronaldo: But JP's told me that they can't give civilians their supplies, so I was in trouble.
Ronaldo: I couldn't say no to my girlfriend, so I'm glad I asked you, Clicky. Thanks.
Ronaldo: Heh... Don't worry about it. The sincerity of your heart moved me to do it.
Ronaldo: In any case, that Hotsuin... Ever since he announced his plans, he's gotten worse!
Joe: Hm... You're right. It seems he's waiting for our answer, at least...
Joe: Well... Either way, this is about the only thing I can do. I'll be taking this. Thanks!
Ronaldo: Oh, wait. Let's open it up and check what's in there. It'd be bad if there was a mistake.
Ronaldo opens the cardboard box...
Ronaldo: Okay... So these are the antibiotics, there's the painkillers, and the anesthesia.
Joe: I had to take antibiotics once... I got food poisoning from expired milk.
Ronaldo: I got some hygiene products, but not enough IVs. You'll have to use something else.
Joe: These are the painkillers? Man, that's a serious horse-choker. I'd hate to take that.
Ronaldo: If you absolutely need some, ask me. My team members will search all through Nagoya...
Joe: Check it out, Hiro, anesthetics! Want a shot?
> Yes, please.
> No.
> I'll shoot you!
Ronaldo: Hey! Joe, are you listening to me?
Joe: Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening...
Ronaldo: ......You're ridiculous. Be serious for once. SERIOUS!
Joe: Haha, sorry 'bout that.
Joe continues checking the medical supplies with Ronaldo...
Sadly Late [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
Joe is staring at a hospital up the street...
Joe: ...Hey, Hiro.
> What's up?
> How's your girlfriend?
> Did you get in a fight?
Joe: Well, my girlfriend... She, uh... She died.
> Why?
> Are you kidding?
Joe: But... she didn't answer. That's when I knew it was for real...
Joe: ......
Joe: The doctor said that her condition was much worse than she had been letting on.
Joe: I mean... I'm no good with stuff like this.
Joe: That's why she kept silent, and told the doctor not to let me know, too...
Joe: Why does someone who's in the hospital have to care for me? Shouldn't it be the other way?
Joe sighs softly...
Joe: ...Her condition worsened all of a sudden, and the doctor was looking for me.
Joe: I hurried. I hurried, and I still didn't make it.
Joe: Haha... I was late... again. Even at a time like this. I'm terrible.
> You're not terrible.
> You did all you could.
Joe: I hurried to the hospital, and look what happened to my jacket...
Joe: Guess it caught on something.
Joe: That's the same hold she sewed up for me before.
Joe: And now, the only person I had to fix it for me is gone...
Joe: ...What should I do about it? It's kind of inconvenient to have it flapping around...
Joe: ...... ......What should I do?
Joe walks away with slumped shoulders...
Final Farewell [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
Joe approaches you. He smells like incense...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. I just came back from my girlfriend's funeral.
Joe: It was a simple ceremony for people who passed away. It was in a community center.
> Are you all right?
> I'm sorry for your loss.
Joe: She was a good person. I wish I could have seen her off in a different way...
Joe: What? You think she was too good for me? Well... You're right. Haha...
> I didn't say that.
> Yeah, she was.
Joe: How could she fall for someone like me? That must be one of life's great mysteries.
Joe: You could write a book, call it "Unidentified Loving Object." It'd sell millions.
> You think so?
> This is ridiculous.
Joe: Well, I was a pathetic excuse for a boyfriend, but maybe when I get to Heaven...
Joe: ...I'll be a man she can brag about. I wonder if she'll wait that long for me?
Joe stares off into the distance and smiles...
Joe: I'll probably go to Hell anyway, hahaha.
Joe: ...Oh, it's almost time.
Joe looks at his watch...
Joe: I need to go help clean up. I'll be done in a jiffy.
> Running late again?
> Hurry.
Joe: No, I still have time. I'll never be late for anything ever again.
Joe: Hiro... Thank you for everything... See you later.
Joe walks away...
Inner Emotions [Sakae - Yamada Park]
You find Joe wandering around. He seemed to be holding something...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. What're you doing here? Thought, I bet you could ask me the same thing.
Joe: Anyway, look at this. Aren't you jealous?
Joe: There's an apple tree that was somehow spared from the destruction over there.
Joe: So... I helped myself. Doesn't this look sweet? I bet it's in season right now.
Joe: You want a bite, Hiro? Just one, though.
> Yes.
> No.
> What about you?
Daichi: Oh, Joe. And Hiro...! Hey! That's an apple! A real apple!
Joe: Whoops, you got me. Good eye, Daichi!
Daichi: Wow, that looks tasty... Are you gonna eat it all? C'mon, give me a bite!
Joe: Hmmmmm... ♪ Okay. Just one, though.
Joe: Oh, but not too big, okay? I'm saving this for my girlfriend.
Daichi: ...Huh?
Joe: Girls really like sweets and fruit. You think it's because they're fun words to say?
Joe: What about "Timor"? Fruits... Sweets... Timor... It just rolls off the tongue.
Daichi: Oh... r-right. Timor... sure.
Daichi: No, wait! That apple's for your girlfriend? You're not going to eat it yourself?
Joe: Huh? No. There's no point in me eating it.
Daichi: Oh... Uh, o-okay...
Daichi: ...... S-Sorry for saying you were going to eat it all, Joe...
Daichi: It was really insensitive of me... And, um...
Joe: Haha, what? I didn't take it that way at all. I don't care about that.
Joe: Besides... I'm really thankful for all of you.
Daichi: Huh? ...Thankful?
Joe: Ayup. I was able to survive because I met all of you.
Joe: And it was thanks to Hiro that I was able to see my girlfriend, even a little.
Joe: I'm so glad I met you. I've always been a lucky guy when it comes to having friends.
> I'm glad I met you.
> You're bringing us all down.
Daichi: Oh, uh, well... I mean, I'm glad I met you, too.
Joe: Hey... Are you confessing your love to me? Man, this is tough. I've never tried THAT before...
Joe: But, you are kind of adorable, Daichi. I'm going to give it my best shot!
Daichi: Th-That's not what I meant! I just... Hey! Why are you joking around!?
Joe: Hahaha! We're doing with being somber. Well, see you later.
Joe walks away...
Loose Ends [Oosu - Koke! Store]
You see Joe inside a convenience store. He seems to be looking for something...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. What are you doing here?
Joe: I ran out of stuff to do, so I thought I'd read some manga. Haha...
[If you sided with Ronaldo, Joe will say the following instead.]
Joe: Hey, Hiro. You taking a manga break, too?
Joe: Well, with all this going on, I can see why you might want a breather.
Joe: They didn't have this week's Shonen Chump, though. Disappointing!
Joe: I was looking forward to "Offside Goalie Masashi"!
Joe: They were just at the World Cup...
> Oh...
> There's no time for this.
> What's it about?
Joe: Oh, wait... Can they make books in times like these?
Joe: ...Are the writers even alive?
Joe: ...I guess it's not likely.
Joe: So, all these stories are never gonna get the endings they deserve!
> Yep.
> Who can say?
Joe: Hahaha... What a terrible world. It's always been pretty bad, though.
Joe smiles sadly...
Lucky Men [Oosu - Shabaton]
Joe starts talking to you...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. You out for a walk, too?
> Yes.
> No.
> There's no time!
Joe: ...See? There are no people here. All of Nagoya's like this place.
Joe: It's the calm before the storm. Totally end-of-the-world level stuff...
> That's scary.
> That's exciting!
Joe: Actually, I'm not that worried. I feel like things'll work out, like always.
> "Like always"?
> How do you figure?
Joe: Well... I've always been a lucky guy, ever since I was born.
Joe: For example, for my college entrance exams, I only studied a little...
Joe: Then the things I did study ended up being the exact questions used in the test.
Joe: And job infterviews... I'd BS stuff about stocks and stuff, and my guesses'd be right.
Joe: And now... I meet you, in Tokyo, all by complete coincidence.
Joe: If I've been lucky so far, things'll work out now, too!
> Yeah.
> You really believe that?
> How irresponsible...
Joe: Well, I'll be going. We can do this, Hiro.
Joe walks away...

Day 1
Joe the Flake [Kasumigaseki - KATO Mart]
[Only available on Day 1]
You see Joe coming out of a convenience store, with a magazine in his hand...
Joe: Hey, if it isn't Hiro. I haven't read "Shoji Leap" this week. Do you follow it?
Joe: It's cool, right? Do you read "Featherman: From the Ashes"? It's soooo good!
> I'm not interested.
Joe: Haha. So, I guess you wait for the actual book to come out, huh? I used to do that.
Joe: I was reading this while I was on the train, then that earthquake happened.
Joe: I lose my "Shoji Leap," my threads get all ripped up... Man, it's tough.
Joe: Oh... I was running late for a meeting, anyway, so I guess that's kind of a plus.
Joe: Yep. I was meeting with a client for my company.
> How is that good?
Joe: It was a business meeting. Haha, you think they're still waiting for me?
Joe: I think I was about half an hour late when it happened.
Joe: I thought I was going to get fired for that! It was a close call! ♪
It seems Joe is a habitually late person.
Joe: Well, I'll go. See you later.
Joe: Oh, about that convenience store... The food's all gone, but there's a lot of manga.
Joe: If you're going to take some, make sure you pay for it. Haha, I sound so old!

In Search Of... [Omotesando - Omotesando]
[Available Day 2 - {}???]
Joe is looking around curiously...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. Have you seen it?
Joe: What!? I didn't even say what it was yet! Quit messing around!
> What?
Joe: You don't know? And you call yourself my friend?
Joe: I'm talking about how I need to get a new suit. I mean, look at this.
[Joe shows Hiro a big tear in his suit.]
Joe: Maybe it happened while I was fighting Dubhe. These cost 500,000 yen! What a waste!
Joe: Although... they were only 5,000 yen overseas.
Joe: Hehe! Lucky, right? It's because I've been good.
Joe: I mean, wearing 500,000-yen clothes just feels so much better. You can touch them.
On closer inspection, the tag says "Armanyo."
Joe: Huh? Oh, come on. You've got to be joking.
Joe: Look. It says on the tag...
> The tag...
Joe: Huh? What about it? It's a famous brand!
Joe reads the tag on his jacket...
Joe: Bwuh!? What the HECK!? "Armanyo"!?
Joe: This is supposed to be... Aw, man.
Joe: ...... Oh, well. A suit's a suit.
Joe doesn't seem to care at all...
Joe: Man, I'm tired. I'll go get some rest somewhere.

Joe: Man, this brings back memories. I came here once with my girlfriend.
Joe: The mascot of Osaka... Uhh... Milliken?
Joe: She was taking all these pictures of it, saying, "Oh, Joe, Milliken's so cute!"
Joe: I don't see what's so cute about that creepy thing. Women are weird, right?
Woman's Voice: Hey! What're you going on about!?
An irate woman stomps over...
Joe: Huh!? What's she so mad about? Did you do something, Hiro?
Angry Woman: It's YOU, dolt! You were just talking about Milliken! Guess what?
Angry Woman: It's not "Milliken," you little twerp! The name of the thing is the "Billiken"!
Joe: Huh? Billiken? Like, with a B? Oh... that sounds right.
Angry Woman: Yeah! And don't you forget it!
Joe: Milliken, Billiken, it's close enough, right?
Angry Woman: No, it is not! You're going to get yourself cursed if you keep that up!
Joe: What? Why should I get a curse because of some statue?
Angry Woman: Billiken's the god of luck! What you're saying is blasphemy!
Joe: That thing's a god? Ahaha, it sure doesn't look like one!
Angry Woman: Y-You did it again! Get out of Osaka! You're not welcome here anymore!
The woman walks away...
Joe: Oh, yeah... I think she's right about the name. It's gotta be Billiken.
Joe: I think my girlfriend got mad at me too because I kept calling it the wrong name.
> Your girlfriend?
Joe: Haha, getting personal there! She is what she is. I'll tell you about her another time.
Joe: Crap, we missed the chane to ask that lady about the place in the death clip.
Joe: ...Well, we gotta keep on moving, right?
You and Joe leave...
Hungry Joe [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
[I believe you get a different version of this Event if you're no longer looking for Keita :>]
As you search for Keita, Joe stops walking...
Joe is looking around...
Joe: This store's closed, too... Man, I'm hungry.
Joe: Oh, Kageyama. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have some "ketsune" udon?
Joe: that makes two of us. I'm in the mood for noodles!
> What's "ketsune" udon?
Joe: It's what people around here call "kitsune" udon.
Joe: Oh... I knew. I'll tell you something cool. It's time for "Did You Know" with Mr. Joe!
Joe: In Tokyo, "kitsune" udon has udon or soba with aburaage...
Joe: And "tanuki" udon has tenkasu in with the noodles...
Joe: But in Osaka, "kitsune" refers to tenkasu udon.
Joe: ...And "tanuki" is the udon with the aburaage! Isn't that cuh-raaaazy?
Joe: Yeah, how d'ya like that knowledge bomb I'm dropping? Is your brain like, "BOOM!"?
Woman's Voice: ...Hey! It's you again!!
A woman comes running over...
Angry Woman: You're so full of crap!
Joe: ...Oh, hello again.
Angry Woman: Osaka's "kitsune" is aburaage UDON!
Angry Woman: And "tanuki" is aburaage SOBA! You're just spreading misinformation!
Joe: Huh? Isn't that what I said?
Angry Woman: No! And nobody calls it "ketsune" around here!
Angry Woman: Only a portion of Osaka people say that, and they don't even call it that all the time.
Joe: Oh! Well, there's a new brain wrinkle. I should tell Daichi next time we see him.
Angry Woman: Are you really hearing the words coming out of my mouth...?
The woman walks away...
[If you've already saved Keita.]Joe: Well then... Let's get going to Bickman. We need to save Keita.
Joe: Oh, I remember now. I had a fight with my girlfriend about this.
Joe: So, uh... "kitsune" is udon with aburaage... And "tanuki" is...
Joe: Uh... I forget. Hahaha! What was "tanuki" again?> Udon with aburaage.Joe: Really? That doesn't really sound right. Oh, well.
> Soba with aburaage.Joe: Yeah, that was it. Good memory!
> Soba with tenkasu.Joe: Really? That doesn't really sound right. Oh, well.
Joe: ...Man, the more I talk about it, the hungrier I get.
Joe: I'm going to look a little harder for someplace that'll serve ketsune udon. See you!
Joe wanders away...
Joe: I shouldn't be wasting time like this, huh? Haha...
You and Joe leave the area...
Joe: Huh, I see. Oh, that's right. Can I ask you something?
Angry Woman: Wh-What? You're one of those guys who's always changing the subject, huh?
Joe: Can you take a look at this? We're trying to figure out where it takes place...
Joe: But we don't know much about Osaka, so we're kind of lost.
Angry Woman: ...!? Wh-What the hell is this!? You sick little bastard--!
Joe: Sorry, sorry... But this is important. Do you know where it's filmed?
Angry Woman: It's important? Well...
Angry Woman: ...I-I'm sorry. I don't know.
Joe: Huh... So this isn't like a famous part of the city or anything?
Angry Woman: Oh... Actually... I'm from Tokyo. I moved here last month.
Angry Woman: I wanted to be a real Osaka native, so I forced myself to learn their slang...
Joe: Ah, I see. Haha... No wonder you know so much about Osaka!
Joe: You know... Actual locals don't know much about Billiken and other tourist spots.
Angry Woman: Urgh... I'm sorry...
Joe: Nah, I don't mind. We'll keep asking around.
The woman walks away...
Joe: Well, shall we get going, Hiro? We've got to find Keita.
You and Joe leave the area...
Day 3
Joe's Lady [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
[Available after arriving in Nagoya.]
Joe is staring up at a hospital...
Joe: ...Whoa. It's you, Hiro.
Joe: Uh... Haha, I don't think Daichi's here.
Joe: ...Well then, you want to go look somewhere else?
> Need to go to the hospital?
Joe: Oh... Well... Are you really that curious?
Joe: Actually... my girlfriend's in the hospital. THIS hospital, in particular.
Joe: Didn't you hear what I just said? MY girlfriend. MINE.
> You have a girlfriend?
Joe: Yeah. For a few years now. It's been a while.
Joe: I just got back from going to visit her.
> Uh-oh...
Joe: I think she's okay. The building's pretty sturdy, since it's a hospital.
Joe: The nurse said that there weren't many demons around here, too.
> The nurse said that?
Joe: Uh... Yeah, about that. I didn't see my girlfriend.
Joe: I mean, seeing her now would be really awkward.
Joe: Um... Well... You know what I mean, right?
Joe fidgets nervously...
Joe: Well, I'm relieved she's okay... I'm going now. See you later.
Joe walks away quickly...
Liminal State [Mei Station - Permina]
Joe stops you while you're walking around the underground shopping area...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. That Fumi person doesn't seem to be here. Wanna take a break?
Joe: I haven't been to Nagoya in a while, so I've gotta see everything.
Joe: I used to come here a lot with my girlfriend, too.
Joe: Yeah. I'd always be late to our dates, so she's make me pay for dinner.
> A lot?
Joe: Yep. I'd always be late for our dates, so she'd scold me as we walked.
Joe: ...Didn't I tell you? I'm from Nagoya, though I don't come home very often.
Man's Voice: H-Hey, Joe...? Is that you?
A man comes running up to Joe...
Joe: Whoa...! I almost didn't recognize you, Kacchin!
Kacchin: You...! So you were in Negoya for everything!? I'm so glad you're safe...!
Joe: Yeah, well. It's good to see that you're okay, too.
Joe: I can't believe we're having a reunion here!
It seems this man is Joe's friend. They're both happy to see each other...
Joe: Oh, yeah, Kacchin. I want to ask you something. Do you know where this is?
[Joe shows Kacchin Jungo's death clip.]
Kacchin: Gah... What the hell!? He's dying! What's going on!?
Joe: Well, I can't really disclose that, but do you know where this is? I don't know it...
Kacchin: Hmmm... Seems pretty dimly lit.
Kacchin: Sorry, but I don't know. It doesn't look like a please I'd go regularly.
[Joe puts away his phone.]
Joe: Hmm... I see. Don't worry about it. It's our problem, after all.
Kacchin: Really? Well, sorry I couldn't help. Anyway...
Kacchin: What have you been up to in Tokyo? You never called, so I was worried about you.
Joe: Sorry. I was busy with work and stuff. Our company's been really busy.
Kacchin: ...I bet you haven't seen your girlfriend, either, if it's been like that.
Joe: Well, I mean, my job...
Kacchin: I heard that she's not doing so well... Her health hasn't been good lately...
Joe: Wait, what?
Kacchin: ......? Haven't you heard anything, Joe?
Joe: Oh... Right. Yeah, things aren't looking pretty.
Kacchin: ......
Joe: It'll work out all right in the end. It always has...
Kacchin: ...... You need to help her. She's been wanting to see you.
Kacchin: ...Well, I've got to go. I'm supposed to be meeting someone. See you again!
Joe's friend leaves...
Joe: ...Her health hasn't been good lately...?
Joe: Oh, yeah, uh... I didn't know...
> You didn't know?
Joe: Uh, no... Not really.
Joe: ...... Well, at least Kacchin's safe.
Joe: Well then, let's go. Haha...
Joe: ......
Joe seems somber, but only for a moment...
Day 4
Joe's Gift [Suidobashi - Stadium]
Joe starts chatting with you...
Joe: ...Hey, Hiro. Can I talk to you for a bit?
Joe: Well, uh... It's about my girlfriend. You know... my girlfriend?
Joe: I know what you want to say: "Why worry about her when there are enemies at Tokyo Tower?"
Joe: I know what you want to say: "Why worry about her when we've got bigger fish to fry?"
Joe: But... this is really important to me, so I want you to listen.
> I suppose I can.
Joe: Haha... Thanks.♪ I know I can always count on you. Anyway...
Joe: I mentioned this before... But she's sick.
Joe: She's staying in a hospital in Nagoya right now...
Joe: And she's really ill... She's constantly in and out of the hospital.
Joe: I'm her boyfriend, so I should be with her, but I haven't seen her for a while.
Joe: I was blaming my job... making reasons not to go.
Joe: Well... I mean, I like her a lot, and she's special to me, but...
> You don't like her?
Joe: Of course I do. And she's special to me, but...
Joe: ...I know myself too much. It's all a burden on me...
Joe smiles, with a touch of self-deception...
Joe: ...But I can't stay like this. I know I'm making her really sad.
Joe: I know I have to do something, but it's hard to take that first step...
Joe: I mean, what do I say to her?
Joe: But I can't not see her...
Joe: And so I'm in trouble.
Joe: Yeah, you're right. What should I do...?
> You need to think about it.
Joe: Yeah, you're right. I need to really think about what I'm gonna do.
Joe: ......
Joe: ...You're really a stand-up guy, Hiro. But you're not much younger than me.
Joe: Is that how you hit on girls too? Don't worry, you don't have to hide it from me.
Joe: ...Anyway, I'm gonna give it some more thought. Thanks for listening.
Joe walks away, deep in thought...
Man's Choice [Ikebukuro - Sunset Blvd]
Joe notices you and walks over...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. Thanks for the other day. You were a great help.
Joe: Yeah, with my girlfriend. You gave me some advice, remember?
> You mean your girlfriend?
Joe: Yeah. You gave me some advice, remember?
Joe: Guess what... I just went and saw her.
Joe: I was so relieved. They said she was really ill, but she looked pretty good.
Joe: We were able to have a normal conversation. We talked a lot, haha!
Joe: ...... ...She didn't say anything bad about me... or get angry.
> She's very nice.
Joe: Yeah... I feel refreshed, like a weight has been lifted.
Joe: I even promised to marry her, so I'll have lots to do soon.
Joe: Yeah. It was kind of a spontaneous thing. This kind of stuff depends on timing!
> Why?
Joe: I don't know... It just felt right.
> Congratulations!
Joe: Hey, thanks! It's great to get a friend to give me their blessing.
Joe: I thought it would all work out, somehow. In a world like this, crazy makes sense.
Joe: Aside from the ceremony and stuff, I guess we just needed to know how we felt.
Joe: I hope you'll make a speech at my wedding! I'm counting on you!
Joe: And, well... I'll take care of her, like I'm supposed to.
Joe: See you later. Think about that speech! I want something hilarious and tear-jerking! ♪
Joe looks serious for a moment...
Joe's Voice: Girl, you know we've been together such a long, long time... Doot do doo do...
Joe walks away, singing a strange song...
Day 5
Tokyo Souvenir [Tokyo Station - Central Exit]
Joe starts chatting with you...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. I forget, are you from Tokyo?
Joe: I thought so. I've got a question for you, then.
> No.
Joe: Oh, really? But you live here, right? I've got a question for you.
> I'm an Earthling.
Joe: That sounds pretty epic. Are you going to be an astronaut? I've got a question for you.
Joe: Is there anything special from Tokyo that girls like?
Joe: Oh, awesome.♪ I knew I could count on you!
> Why?
(Conversation continues.)
Joe: Actually, I'm going to see my girlfriend, and I want to get her something to thank her.
> Why?
Joe: Oh, this. I ripped a hole in my suit and she sewed it back up for me.
Joe: Here... Do you remember? We picked up souvenirs on the way from Osaka to Nagoya.
Joe: It's acts of kindness like that that make people happy, so I was thinking...
Joe: I should get something from Tokyo for my girlfriend in Nagoya...
Joe: Right? There's got to be a store somewhere in the city that hasn't been destroyed.
> Is anything left?
Joe: Maybe... There's got to be a store somewhere in the city that hasn't been wrecked.
Joe: Well... I'm going to go look anyway, even if I don't find anything.
Joe: So, Mr. Tokyo, tell me a good Tokyo souvenir.
Joe: Oh, from Asakusa? I think I've heard of that before.
> Ibaraki Banana.
Joe: Oh, like what they sell at Tokyo Station and stuff? Is that what those are called?
> Wheat grass coffee.
Joe: I've never heard of that before! Sounds interesting.
Joe: All right, I'll get that. I can't go wrong with your recommendation!
Joe: I'll go look for it now... Wait.
Joe looks at his watch...
Joe: I don't think I have time to go look for a souvenir.
Joe: Looks like. Normally she'd scold me, but these days she might get really worried...
> Again?
Joe: Hey, looks like you're getting to know me well. You're almost a Joe Master!
> She's gonna dump you.
Joe: I know. To be honest, I'm surprised she hasn't dumped me already!
Joe: I guess it can wait until next time. I'm off to the hospital now. ...Thanks.
Joe slowly walks away...
Day 6
Last Request [Fushimi - Electric Museum]
Joe is with Ronaldo...
Joe is carrying a heavy-looking cardboard box...
Joe: This is a great help! How are things on your end?
Ronaldo: Don't worry about it. These were for civilians anyway, so don't feel bad.
Joe: Thanks, Clicky. You sure are generous! I'm calling you Genericky from now on.
Ronaldo: ...That name doesn't even begin to make sense.
Joe: Oh, Hiro. These are medical supplies. Clicky had some.
> Is that food?
Joe: You want some, Hiro? It's just some syringes and stuff...
Joe: That is, it's medical supplies. We got some from Ronaldo.
Ronaldo: Hiro. I can't say this very loudly... but I took these supplies from JP's.
Ronaldo: I thought I'd use them to treat my team and civilians, so I stockpiled them.
Ronaldo: ...But I'm very impressed with you, Joe. Did you girlfriend ask you to do this?
Joe: Actually, it was her doctor. I said I was from JP's and he asked me to get him supplies.
Ronaldo: But JP's told me that they can't give civilians their supplies, so I was in trouble.
Ronaldo: I couldn't say no to my girlfriend, so I'm glad I asked you, Clicky. Thanks.
Ronaldo: Heh... Don't worry about it. The sincerity of your heart moved me to do it.
Ronaldo: In any case, that Hotsuin... Ever since he announced his plans, he's gotten worse!
Joe: Hm... You're right. It seems he's waiting for our answer, at least...
Joe: Well... Either way, this is about the only thing I can do. I'll be taking this. Thanks!
Ronaldo: Oh, wait. Let's open it up and check what's in there. It'd be bad if there was a mistake.
Ronaldo opens the cardboard box...
Ronaldo: Okay... So these are the antibiotics, there's the painkillers, and the anesthesia.
Joe: I had to take antibiotics once... I got food poisoning from expired milk.
Ronaldo: I got some hygiene products, but not enough IVs. You'll have to use something else.
Joe: These are the painkillers? Man, that's a serious horse-choker. I'd hate to take that.
Ronaldo: If you absolutely need some, ask me. My team members will search all through Nagoya...
Joe: Check it out, Hiro, anesthetics! Want a shot?
Joe: Yeah, take the bull by the horns! There's a good leader!
> No.
Joe: Hmm. Playing cautious, huh? Maybe I'll have a little myself...
> I'll shoot you!
Joe: Good idea. My back's been killing me lately.
Ronaldo: Hey! Joe, are you listening to me?
Joe: Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening...
Ronaldo: ......You're ridiculous. Be serious for once. SERIOUS!
Joe: Haha, sorry 'bout that.
Joe continues checking the medical supplies with Ronaldo...
Day 7 - Post Recruitment
Sadly Late [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
Joe is staring at a hospital up the street...
Joe: ...Hey, Hiro.
> How's your girlfriend?
> Did you get in a fight?
Joe: Well, my girlfriend... She, uh... She died.
Joe: I was asking the same thing... "Why!?"
> Are you kidding?
Joe: Yeah, I thought it might have been some horrible joke.
Joe: But... she didn't answer. That's when I knew it was for real...
Joe: ......
Joe: The doctor said that her condition was much worse than she had been letting on.
Joe: I mean... I'm no good with stuff like this.
Joe: That's why she kept silent, and told the doctor not to let me know, too...
Joe: Why does someone who's in the hospital have to care for me? Shouldn't it be the other way?
Joe sighs softly...
Joe: ...Her condition worsened all of a sudden, and the doctor was looking for me.
Joe: I hurried. I hurried, and I still didn't make it.
Joe: Haha... I was late... again. Even at a time like this. I'm terrible.
Joe: ...Thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to feel the same way someday.
> You did all you could.
Joe: You think? I can't help thinking if I'd been with her more...
Joe: Then she might not have died. I dunno.
Joe: I hurried to the hospital, and look what happened to my jacket...
Joe: Guess it caught on something.
Joe: That's the same hold she sewed up for me before.
Joe: And now, the only person I had to fix it for me is gone...
Joe: ...What should I do about it? It's kind of inconvenient to have it flapping around...
Joe: ...... ......What should I do?
Joe walks away with slumped shoulders...
Final Farewell [Sakae - Shine Sun Sakae]
Joe approaches you. He smells like incense...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. I just came back from my girlfriend's funeral.
Joe: It was a simple ceremony for people who passed away. It was in a community center.
Joe: Mmm... I'm all right. Sorry for worrying you.
> I'm sorry for your loss.
Joe: You said that without stumbling at all! You're as good as an adult!
Joe: She was a good person. I wish I could have seen her off in a different way...
Joe: What? You think she was too good for me? Well... You're right. Haha...
Joe: Oh, really? I guess the voice in my head sounds a lot like you, then.
> Yeah, she was.
Joe: Yep. I'm not ashamed to say it.
Joe: How could she fall for someone like me? That must be one of life's great mysteries.
Joe: You could write a book, call it "Unidentified Loving Object." It'd sell millions.
Joe: C'mon, man! You're gonna be writing the book, you've got to know the title!
> This is ridiculous.
Joe: Hahaha, that's what I wanted to hear.
Joe: Well, I was a pathetic excuse for a boyfriend, but maybe when I get to Heaven...
Joe: ...I'll be a man she can brag about. I wonder if she'll wait that long for me?
Joe stares off into the distance and smiles...
Joe: I'll probably go to Hell anyway, hahaha.
Joe: ...Oh, it's almost time.
Joe looks at his watch...
Joe: I need to go help clean up. I'll be done in a jiffy.
> Hurry.
Joe: No, I still have time. I'll never be late for anything ever again.
Joe: Hiro... Thank you for everything... See you later.
Joe walks away...
Inner Emotions [Sakae - Yamada Park]
You find Joe wandering around. He seemed to be holding something...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. What're you doing here? Thought, I bet you could ask me the same thing.
Joe: Anyway, look at this. Aren't you jealous?
Joe: There's an apple tree that was somehow spared from the destruction over there.
Joe: So... I helped myself. Doesn't this look sweet? I bet it's in season right now.
Joe: You want a bite, Hiro? Just one, though.
Joe: Oh... Really? Go right ahead, then. Don't eat it all, thought. The rest is...
> No.
Joe: Haha, that's cool. You know what I'm gonna do with this? Good for you.
> What about you?
Joe: Oh, I'm good. I have to leave some...
Daichi: Oh, Joe. And Hiro...! Hey! That's an apple! A real apple!
Joe: Whoops, you got me. Good eye, Daichi!
Daichi: Wow, that looks tasty... Are you gonna eat it all? C'mon, give me a bite!
Joe: Hmmmmm... ♪ Okay. Just one, though.
Joe: Oh, but not too big, okay? I'm saving this for my girlfriend.
Daichi: ...Huh?
Joe: Girls really like sweets and fruit. You think it's because they're fun words to say?
Joe: What about "Timor"? Fruits... Sweets... Timor... It just rolls off the tongue.
Daichi: Oh... r-right. Timor... sure.
Daichi: No, wait! That apple's for your girlfriend? You're not going to eat it yourself?
Joe: Huh? No. There's no point in me eating it.
Daichi: Oh... Uh, o-okay...
Daichi: ...... S-Sorry for saying you were going to eat it all, Joe...
Daichi: It was really insensitive of me... And, um...
Joe: Haha, what? I didn't take it that way at all. I don't care about that.
Joe: Besides... I'm really thankful for all of you.
Daichi: Huh? ...Thankful?
Joe: Ayup. I was able to survive because I met all of you.
Joe: And it was thanks to Hiro that I was able to see my girlfriend, even a little.
Joe: I'm so glad I met you. I've always been a lucky guy when it comes to having friends.
Joe: Hahaha. Well, you know. This is destiny.
> You're bringing us all down.
Joe: Hahaha, there it is. I was waiting for something like that. Good for you. ♪
Daichi: Oh, uh, well... I mean, I'm glad I met you, too.
Joe: Hey... Are you confessing your love to me? Man, this is tough. I've never tried THAT before...
Joe: But, you are kind of adorable, Daichi. I'm going to give it my best shot!
Daichi: Th-That's not what I meant! I just... Hey! Why are you joking around!?
Joe: Hahaha! We're doing with being somber. Well, see you later.
Joe walks away...
Day 7
Loose Ends [Oosu - Koke! Store]
You see Joe inside a convenience store. He seems to be looking for something...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. What are you doing here?
Joe: I ran out of stuff to do, so I thought I'd read some manga. Haha...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. You taking a manga break, too?
Joe: Well, with all this going on, I can see why you might want a breather.
Joe: They didn't have this week's Shonen Chump, though. Disappointing!
Joe: I was looking forward to "Offside Goalie Masashi"!
Joe: They were just at the World Cup...
Joe: You aren't interested? You should give it a read sometime. It's really good.
> There's no time for this.
Joe: Well, I understand. There's no way they can publish manga at a time like this.
> What's it about?
Joe: It's about a former bancho who develops a deep passion for soccer at age 30.
Joe: He meets "Sudden Death" Himuro under a bridge, and he teaches Masi the joy of goaltending.
Joe: And then they somehow make it to the World Cup, but Masi still doesn't know the rules.
Joe: But luckily, every other goalie in Japan dies, so he gets his chance.
Joe: But Masashi's afraid of airplains, right, so he has a gripping existential crisis!
Joe: Oh, wait... Can they make books in times like these?
Joe: ...Are the writers even alive?
Joe: ...I guess it's not likely.
Joe: So, all these stories are never gonna get the endings they deserve!
Joe: ...That sucks. Not "Summer Striker" or "V-Goal Gust"...
> Who can say?
Joe: Maybe if the creator was alive, there may be a chance later... But it's not likely.
Joe: Hahaha... What a terrible world. It's always been pretty bad, though.
Joe smiles sadly...
Day 7 - Recruited
Lucky Men [Oosu - Shabaton]
Joe starts talking to you...
Joe: Hey, Hiro. You out for a walk, too?
Joe: Haha! ♪ I thought so.
> No.
Joe: Oh, you're not? I'm taking a look around Nagoya.
> There's no time!
Joe: Haha, you're right. But, it's important to see how things are holding up.
Joe: ...See? There are no people here. All of Nagoya's like this place.
Joe: It's the calm before the storm. Totally end-of-the-world level stuff...
Joe: Wellll... Yeah. It's weird to see places that are usually full of people all empty.
> That's exciting!
Joe: Spoken like a true leader. I'm impressed you can say that at a time like this.
Joe: Actually, I'm not that worried. I feel like things'll work out, like always.
> How do you figure?
Joe: Well... I've always been a lucky guy, ever since I was born.
Joe: For example, for my college entrance exams, I only studied a little...
Joe: Then the things I did study ended up being the exact questions used in the test.
Joe: And job infterviews... I'd BS stuff about stocks and stuff, and my guesses'd be right.
Joe: And now... I meet you, in Tokyo, all by complete coincidence.
Joe: If I've been lucky so far, things'll work out now, too!
Joe: Haha! I'm counting on you to lead us, leader! ♪
> You really believe that?
Joe: Of course! On the other hand, sometimes thigns just don't work out. No sense worrying.
> How irresponsible...
Joe: Ahaha, yeah, I guess I ought to put in some hard work once in a while...
Joe: Well, I'll be going. We can do this, Hiro.
Joe walks away...
