[This is the vaguest mystery ever. But, scan around and one thing will become apparent. Even if the second day was spent entirely clearing noise from the area, they're all back in full force, and they seem to be possessing more people than usual. These people have feelings of hopelessness, apathy and death. But just scanning them doesn't seem to give the answers why. If the mission can believed, this is not something the Reapers have done, but something to do with the world itself. Surely someone must know the truth....]

Some do, but not enough. Not enough to keep this world from ending. I know this, it's happened before. I think Minato would have been the only person who could have prevented this, but he's gone...

I don't want anyone to have to die for me. I just... I just want to die for them. I want to be able to do something right for once.

[The Professor will nod in understanding.]

I just...would always like to believe there's a better way. I'd be a hypocrite if I said I thought self-sacrifice was wrong.

[notsogrimreaper]

...Is that how you died? Sacrificing yourself?

[It's strange how many humans Ryoji knew that did that. He'd thought Minato would be one of the few but it was different here.]

[invisiblefloatinghead]

[There's a slow nod.]

I took a hit meant for...

[He closes his eyes and cannot remember anything there. Who he'd died for, why he'd done it...]

...someone. I couldn't tell you who...only that I got turned into a pillar of salt for my trouble.

[He sighs.]

And yet I feel like I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I had to.
