Persuasion

Persuade Joe [Fushimi - Electric Museum]
You find Joe standing around not doing much of anything...

Joe: Yooo, Hiro. Some fight, huh?

> Not really.

Joe: Whoa! How rude! You gotta say, like, "Totally!" if you wanna sound like an adult.

> How are your wounds?

Joe: Haha, they're fine. You went easy on us, huh? Like a real gentleman.

> What're you doing here?

Joe: Umm, doing philosophy...? Nah, kidding. I'm actually doing nothing, haha.

Joe: Man, I thought if everyone was equal, things would settle down... but it was no use.
Joe: You guys are like, way too strong! Well... I lost, and that's that, huh? Hahahah!

> So how do you really feel?
> Is that all?

Joe: ...You don't miss a trick, huh? No wonder we couldn't beat you.
Joe: I wanted to protect Nagoya. I know I can be flaky... But I really want to save this place.
Joe: I've got so many memories of this city... Stupid, I know.

> It's not stupid.

Joe: Hahaha! You think so? Hmmm... Maybe you're right. Thanks.

> That's nonsense.

Joe: Haha... Maybe for you, but it's important to me.
Joe: ...Well, I'm gonna vamoose. Like a beaten dog, tail between his legs... Good luck, though!

Joe leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> Yep, pretty stupid.

Joe: Hahaha! Way to not pull those punches, Hiro. Though it actually makes me feel better.

Joe: Then again, you must be mad, huh? I mean, we did have a real scrap against you guys...

> I'm pretty mad.

Joe: Yeah... I'm sorry. I don't regret the choices I made, but I still want to apologize.

> I'm not mad.

Joe: Haha, you're so generous. I still want to apologize, though. Sorry.

Joe: Hey, Hiro... I want to ask you something. And I'm gonna be serious about it for once.
Joe: If this world was equal... Would everything be peaceful?

> How should I know?

Joe: I see.. You don't know either. How can we make the world better? It's tough, haha.
Joe: ...Well, I'm gonna vamoose. I'll try thinking it over for myself what to do. See ya!

Joe leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> It would.

Joe: It would, huh... Then I guess I didn't have it wrong?
Joe: Fighting my friends to bring about peace, though... That was the part that didn't work.

> It wouldn't.

Joe: It won't, huh...? Yeah. If you say so, it must be true.
Joe: And fighting my friends to bring about peace... That was never gonna work.

Joe: ...Straight up, Hiro, will you let me join you?
Joe: I've been self-centered until now, but you guys knocked some sense into me. Please...

> Of course.
> Make yourself useful.

Joe joins your party.

Joe: Ooh, thanks. Good-looking guys always have such great hearts.
Joe: Well, it's nice catching up, but I should go ask Daichi if he wants to grab some food.
Joe: Although it's only been a day since we were pals, haha... Okay, see ya later!

You say your farewells to Joe before leaving...

Farewell Joe [Fushimi - Electric Museum]

Farewell Ronaldo [Fushimi - Parking Garage]
You find Ronaldo lost in thought...

Ronaldo: Hiro...!

> I came to see you.

Ronaldo: To see... me?

> How are your wounds?

Ronaldo: My wounds...?

> What're you doing here?

Ronaldo: I'm... all right...

Ronaldo: Why are you really here? What am I to you?

> An enemy.

Ronaldo: That's right... We're enemies. Our fight may be over, but that fact remains.
Ronaldo: Well... I'll be going. I won't get in your way anymore. See you...

Ronaldo leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> A friend.

Ronaldo: Ngh... Stop that...! I'm not your friend anymore!

> Ronaldo Kuriki

Ronaldo: ...So you understand. I'm Ronaldo Kuriki, your sworn enemy.

Ronaldo: The world is veiled in lies... This is the only chance... to make it all equal.

> Is that why you fight?

Ronaldo: Yes... I... I must do this. I must lay the foundation for a new world!

> You may be right.

Ronaldo: Then... Then why do you stand in my way!?

Ronaldo: I thought that with you on my side... I could forge a new future! If only you had...!

> By fighting your friends?

Ronaldo: I... Yes! Even if it means fighting against those I once considered my comrades!

> I'll have no part in it.

Ronaldo: *sigh* That's right... That's why I had to fight you!

Ronaldo: Why won't you understand!? This world of peace and equality is absolutely necessary!
Ronaldo: I feel strongly enough about it that I'd do anything at all to make it happen...!

> That's not peace
> This is how it starts.

Ronaldo: Wh-What...!? It's my fault that the fighting is...

Ronaldo falls into thought...

Ronaldo: ...I see. You wanted to teach me that, so you...
Ronaldo: I'm sorry, Hiro. I had you figured wrong.
Ronaldo: Your'e right that fighting against friends for the sake of the society I want...
Ronaldo: That's a long way from peace.

> There's another way.

Ronaldo: Another way? I see... You knew that from the beginning.

> Now do you understand?

Ronaldo: Yes, I do. I see now what you just have known from the start.

> Think hard on this.

Ronaldo: Yes... you're right. I'll go off to ponder that one alone for a while...
Ronaldo: I know it's selfish of me to ask you this, but... take good care of the world, Hiro.

Ronaldo leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

Ronaldo: ...Thank you. Hiro. It took a while, but you finally go through to me.
Ronaldo: If it was really peace I was after, I would've chosen a nonviolent path like yours...
Ronaldo: Hiro... I'll stay on the sidelines. I won't be in your way any longer.

> It's sad to see you go.

Ronaldo: Ha... The highest praise I could receive. Well... I'll be cheering you on.

> That's a relief.

Ronaldo: Haha! If you think that, maybe I'm not so hopeless after all. Did I keep you on your toes?

Ronaldo: Farewell, Hiro. I look forward to seeing the future you desire...!

Ronaldo leaves...
