Orochi: Sigh…
Niko: Zzz… Zzz…
Orochi: …Sounds like Niko fell asleep. Oh well, today’s been rough, after all.
Orochi: …Sounds like Niko fell asleep. Oh well, today’s been rough, after all.
Flost: Is it safe to light a fire? Aren’t the beasts going to be attracted to the light―
Orochi: They’re not. At night, the beasts here thrive in the darkness. We have to take turns to prevent them from attacking our turf.
Orochi: When one of us sleeps, the other keeps an eye on the turf. That’s how things work here.
Dolly: That… sounds rough.
Orochi: …It wasn’t that rough before. Now that it’s only the two of us, though… yeah… it’s kind of tough to keep it up.
Abel: ……

Abel: ……
Orochi: …Hey, what’s your opinion on Niko?
Abel: Huh?
Orochi: It’s about his attitude towards Joker… Be honest, you think he’s being too harsh, don’t you?
Abel: Huh?
Orochi: It’s about his attitude towards Joker… Be honest, you think he’s being too harsh, don’t you?
Burgess: I wonder… I’ve never lost comrades because of someone else’s mistakes, so I can’t say anything myself.
Gerard: I… can understand him. If Cadena and Hansel were to die because of someone else…
Gerard: I probably wouldn’t be able to forgive that person.
Gerard: I probably wouldn’t be able to forgive that person.
Abel: …I think… Joker might have had his reasons, too.
Orochi: I don’t know what Joker’s thinking about now, but I do understand how much Niko is hurting…
Orochi: In fact, the person who got along the best with Joker… was Niko.
Dolly: Eh? F-For real? I didn’t expect that…
Orochi: I briefly mentioned it earlier, but it took a very long time for Niko to warm up to us.
Orochi: So I guess he felt a lot closer to Joker, who was a bit detached from the rest of us, just like him.
Orochi: He’d often talk to Joker to try and get along with him, but there were still plenty of times where he’d get ignored.
Krone: ...I can picture that, yeah.

Krone: ...I can picture that, yeah.
Orochi: On top of that, when the time to make our strategy against Cetus came…
Orochi: It was Niko who pushed for Joker to sound the whistle.
Dolly: Huh, why…?
Orochi: It was Niko who pushed for Joker to sound the whistle.
Dolly: Huh, why…?
Orochi: Joker didn’t have anything going for him.
Orochi: Vista was smart, and Sloarz had good eyesight. Lodge could run fast, and Richie was skilled with machines.
Orochi: Niko was the best sniper out of all of us, and I… well, we were all useful in our own way.
Orochi: But… Joker had nothing to set him apart from everyone else.
Krone: …...
Orochi: Still, Niko wanted Joker to do something. It was his way of proving his friendship.
Orochi: Niko believed that Joker would do it for the sake of our group. And yet…

[FIRE CRACKLING]
Orochi: …*sigh*
Orochi: …I’ll never forgive that.
Krone: You mean… Joker’s…?
Orochi: No. Joker isn’t the bad guy here. The one I’ll never be able to forgive is―
Orochi: …I’ll never forgive that.
Krone: You mean… Joker’s…?
Orochi: No. Joker isn’t the bad guy here. The one I’ll never be able to forgive is―
[CETUS’ CRY]
Cadena: Eh? That cry…
Burgess: It’s that monster, isn’t it? …It seems to still be far away, but if we’re able to hear its cry from all the way over there, then…
Burgess: It’s that monster, isn’t it? …It seems to still be far away, but if we’re able to hear its cry from all the way over there, then…
Orochi: …Ce… tus…
Burgess: Hm? …Orochi?
