Text: This is a public service announcement

[After he wakes up from that weird dream, it takes him a few more hours to realize that Eikichi is, somehow, missing. And...that was it! That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back!

ATTN: HINOTO-RI

Explain yourself.

IS "PHILEMON AND NYARLATHOTEP: LIFE RUINERS" NOT CLEAR ENOUGH OR SOMETHING?

I'm asking for details, or else this will be a waste of time.

FINE. THEY HAD A BET WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT HUMANITY WANTED TO GO IN, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE WORLD ENDED.

IS THAT BETTER?

How unfortunate.

[Look at all the fucks she give, Tatsuya.]

NO, UNFORTUNATE IS HAVING YOUR MOTORCYCLE BREAK DOWN.

BILLIONS OF PEOPLE DYING IS MORE THAN UNFORTUNATE.

Are you expecting another repeat in this world?

[Otherwise, who cares.]

I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST THEM, ALTHOUGH IT COULD HAPPEN DIFFERENTLY.

WHO KNOWS? IT'S A SURPRISE A MINUTE WITH THE CHAOS THAT CRAWLS.

And he's the other half of Philemon.
