Persuasion

Persuade Io [Kanda - Used Book Street] [11:00]
You find Io sitting alone...

Io: Ah... Hiro... Um...

> How are you?

Io: Um... Huh? I'm, er. okay... Thanks.

> How are your wounds?

Io: My... Oh, yeah. I'm not badly hurt. Thanks.

> What're you doing here?

Io: Um... nothing, I guess...?

Io: So... why did you come here, Hiro?

> I came for you.

Io: For me...? Wait, really? Oh... you meant...

> Why do you think?

Io: Hmm... Sorry, but I don't know...

Io: Hey, Hiro... Can I ask you something?
Io: What made you support Ronaldo's vision of equality...?

> I agree with him.

Io: I see... I'm amazed, though, at how clearly you can state your own goals.

> I want a better world.

Io: I see... I'm amazed, though, at how clearly you can state your own goals.

> Just because.

Io: I see... You can fight against your friends for no reason...
Io: Well... I'll be going now. But I'll always be rooting for you, so... good luck.

Io leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> Don't run from your desires.

Io: I-I'm not! It's just, we were getting along so well... Why do we have to fight like this!?

> This is about you, though.

Io: It is, but... I can't have my own way. That's just being selfish!

Io: Why say unpleasant things out loud? We'd get along just fine if we kept quiet...!

> That's "getting along"?

Io: But...!
Io: I...

> Think about the future.

Io: The future...?
Io: I... Hmm...

Io: ...I think you're right. It's just... easier this way...
Io: I was just going along with everyone... shutting out the idea someone might hate me...

> Yeah.

Io: Mmm-hmm... Everyone noticed me doing it, didn't they?

> That's cowardice.

Io: Yeah... It was. I knew it... and pretended that I didn't...

Io: But... that won't do me any good.
Io: I lost to you because I've been deluding myself...

> You're just a loser.

Io: ...Yaeh. I... won't be fighting anymore. Against anyone... I'm not going to see Polaris.
Io: Well... I should be going. Hopefully I'll see you against somewhere. Stay safe...

Io leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> Then stop running away.

Io: Mmm-hmm... If I keep running because I'm scared someone will hate me, nothing will change.

> Then don't do that.

Io: Mmm-hmm... If I keep running because I'm scared someone will hate me, nothing will change.

Io: ...I think I see now why you're so strong.
Io: You think of other people and how that'll improve the world. That gives you strength...
Io: I... need to try harder. At this rate, the world will be ruined, and so will I...

> Lend me your strength.

Io: Huh...? Are you saying you need my help...?

> Let's do this together.

Io: Together...? You want me to help you make a better world?

Io: Um... sorry, this might sound weird, but...
Io: I want to stay with you after all.
Io: I'm still not completely sure about the equality plan, but if you're for it...
Io: So please, let me join your side.

> Of course.

(Conversation continues.)

> That's your reason?

Io: Haha... Yeah. I just... had to say what I felt.

Io joins your party.

Io: Well, um... I'm going to go get my things. I'll see you soon...

You say your farewells to Io before leaving...


Persuade Daichi [Shibuya - South Exit] [11:00]
You find a dispirited-seeming Daichi...

Daichi: Oh... It's you, Hiro. You scared me a little there.

> You did your best.

Daichi: Uh...! Haha... I had a feeling you'd see right through me.
Daichi: Well, you know I'm not the leader type, right? To be honest, it was exhausting.

> How are you (sic) wounds?

Daichi: Oh... uh, my wounds? O-Oh yeah, you guys didn't go easy on us! That was pretty tough!

> What're you doing here?

Daichi: Oh... Uhh, actually, I'm not doing anything at all! There's nothing for me to do!

Daichi: But man, joining Ronaldo... I never saw that coming, and I'm your best friend!

> Really?
> I don't blame you.

Daichi: I mean, it's fine for you. However this world turns out, I'm sure you'll be okay!
Daichi: But take me... All this talk about equality puts me in a real bind!
Daichi: Look at me, man... I'm totally useless, you know!?

> Then we don't need you.

Daichi: Haha... Man, I know I brought it up, but it's tough hearing that straight from you.
Daichi: Well... I'm gonna go. I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines, so good luck.

Daichi leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

> That's not true.

Daichi: Hahaha... Nah. It really is. I mean, you guys beat me fair and square, right?

> That's fine.

Daichi: No, it's not fine! I'm gonna spend my life being a burden to people... That's not easy.

Daichi: Like, I never really gave a thought to stuff like that...
Daichi: But this time, it really hit me...
Daichi: I suck at everything I try. I'm just totally useless...

> That's enough.

(Conversation continues.)

> You're making excuses.

(Conversation continues.)

> Yeah.

Daichi: ...I-I thought so. Haha... So much for being useful...
Diachi: Well... I'm gonna go. I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines, so good luck.

Daichi leaves...

(Conversation ends.)

Daichi: Oh...! Sorry, um...

> You can't hang back.
> Grow a spine, man.

Daichi: Haha... ha. Dude... I always knew, but man, you're strong.
Daichi: I get what you mean about courage and guts and stuff... I just don't have any.
Daichi: Equality, huh...? Hey, Hiro.
Daichi: Does that mean no more war or poverty or anything?

> Definitely no war.

Daichi: Hmmm... interesting. Does that mean there'll be no reason to go to war...?

> How should I know?

Daichi: Whaaat!? C'mon, don't be like that!
Daichi: Oh, wait... That's not what you meant, huh?
Daichi: You're saying I need to think of things like that on my own.

> What do you think?

Daichi: I... don't know. That's why I'm asking you! I see what you mean, though.
Daichi: You're saying I need to think of things like that on my own.

Daichi: Ugh... I'm so lost. It's no use... I can't figure out anything for myself.

> That's what friends are for.
> I'll help you figure it out.

Daichi: Heyyy... Haha, are you trying to get me to join up? Way to fish for help, man!

> Lend me your strength.
> Well, we are friends.

Daichi: ...You sure? I won't be much help, you know. I'm no better in a fight than a flea!

> You're right.

Daichi: Th-That's it? Just like that? Man, how am I supposed to compete with that?
Daichi: ...Well, I guess there's no getting around it. Hope this little flea can help, buddy!

> I'll make up for it.

Daichi: You'll...!? Isn't that kinda condescending for a guy preaching equality!?
Daichi: Oh well. We've come this far together... You'll have to put up with me to the end, buddy!

Daichi joins your party.

Daichi: Okay, I'm gonna take off. I gotta take care of some things. See ya later!

You say your farewells to Daichi before leaving...
