Joker: ……...
Joker: …Where should I even go?
Joker: …I’m alone again, aren’t I…?
Joker: Well, that’s… fine, I guess. I’m… free, after all.

Joker: !?
???: Huff… puff… huff… puff…
Joker: …Oh, a rotun. I was hoping it’d be a beast so it could kill me...
???: H-Hyargh! W-What’s up with you!? You w-wanna kill me!? I won’t lose!!
Joker: …Calm down. I don’t even know you.
???: H-Ha… Y-You think you can deceive me!? First, you’ll reassure me… and when I’m calm, you’ll attack...!
Joker: I won’t do that… That’s a pain in the ass.
???: I-Is that true? You’re not lying?
Joker: …Yeah. We’ll both die if a beast were to show up anyway, so there’s no point in killing each other.
???: I-Is that so… Sorry. A lot of stuff happened, so I-I’m a bit on edge…

Joker: …Still, I haven’t seen you before. What’s your name?
Sero: …S-Sero.
Joker: Hmm… Where did you come from?
Sero: W-Where…? I wonder… I don’t know the area’s name…
Joker: ...Are you alone?
Sero: …Yeah. All of my companions died… they were killed.
Joker: By the beasts?
Sero: ……...
Sero: …S-Sero.

Joker: ...Are you alone?
Sero: …Yeah. All of my companions died… they were killed.
Joker: By the beasts?
Sero: ……...
Joker: Don’t tell me… By rotun?
Sero: W-We… lived together and shared a small food spot, my companions and I…
Sero: It was an area with only a few spots in it… We’d cut down the amount of food we ate… just so we could survive somehow…
Sero: But… a group of rotun that had no food left laid eyes on our spot… and…
Joker: …Ohh…
Sero: D-Damnit… Those bastards! Aren’t we all rotun!?
Sero: Just because they were a little more in shape than us… just because they were stronger than us...!!
Joker: …...
Sero: How can they do something so horrible!? Those pieces of shit! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!
Joker: I mean... You couldn’t help it… You were weak.
Sero: W-What the hell are you saying!? We… We…!
Joker: What are you screaming for? You’re hung up on something that already happened…
Sero: Sniff… Shit! If only… If only we could have gone there…!
Joker: Hm? Where?
Sero: …To “Paradise”.

Joker: Hm? Where?
Sero: …To “Paradise”.
Joker: Para…?
Sero: “Paradise”! We were travelling so we could reach it one day! But I’m the only one left now…
Sero: H-Hey! Do you know where “Paradise” could be!? It can’t be too far off from here!!
Joker: I don’t know. What even is “Paradise”...?
Sero: D-Do you really not know…? It was a rumor among us…
Sero: It’s a place created by a couple of kind-hearted rotun, and if you go there, you won’t need to worry about food or water anymore!
Sero: More importantly, you can escape the threat of the beasts!! If you go there, you’ll reach a true safe haven!!
Joker: …...
Sero: Even weak and useless rotun like us can live in a place like this! In that dream-like―

Sero: W-What’s up…?
Joker: It’s been a while since I’ve heard such a funny story, ahaha! A “Paradise” where even useless people can live?
Sero: W-What’s up…?
Joker: It’s been a while since I’ve heard such a funny story, ahaha! A “Paradise” where even useless people can live?
Joker: …There’s no such thing.
Sero: Wh… You said you knew nothing about it, though! What makes you…
Joker: I don’t need to know anything about it to know there’s no way a place like that exists.
Joker: A place where weak, pathetic and useless people can live without doing anything…
Joker: There’s no place like that anywhere. There never will be.
Sero: You bastard! Watch your mouth...!

Sero: You bastard! Watch your mouth...!
Joker: We’re one and the same, you and I.
Sero: ...Huh?
Joker: Crawling about in this hellscape, where everyone considers us useless, with nobody around to be thankful for our presence…
Joker: …And with nobody to notice it when we die.
Sero: W-What…
Joker: It’s fate. The one that befalls people like us…
Joker: It’s about time you get that, you know?
Sero: ...Huh?

Joker: It’s about time you get that, you know?
Sero: S-Shut up! Who the fuck are you!? What the fuck do you know about me!?
Sero: I refuse to die miserably, like some piece of trash! I’m going to “Paradise”!
Sero: I’ll definitely be able to live if I go to “Paradise”! Even a guy like me can be useful to someone!
Sero: I will reach “Paradise”! Don’t lump me in with you!!
Sero: If you wanna die miserably, then you can go ahead and do it by yourself, you shithead!!

Joker: …....
Joker: Is there really… a place where weak people can live while remaining weak…?
Joker: That “Paradise”... It can’t be real.
