Harry's Scenario

Page 1 (Close up of metal grating floor)
Perhaps the caterpillar from before was blocking my path to the hospital, as my route, which had been blocked until just before, was now restored.

Page 2
The entire town seemed like the insides of an enormous living thing.

If a part of it is treated...then a part of it is destroyed. If a part of it disappears...then a part of it appears. I get the feeling that I am wandering about within a living organism that has become a labyrinth.

Page 3 (Nightmare examination room)
I open the gate to the hospital and then energetically open the door of the examination room. Inside Lisa was waiting for me.

Page 4 (Lisa appears)
"Harry!"
She changes from looking completely exhausted and rushes over to me in an innocent, childlike way.

Page 5
"Glad you're OK."

"Thank God you came back. I was scared to be here all alone."

"I'm here now. I was worried, too. I'm real happy to see you."

Page 6
I lightly hug Lisa and gently draw away. I then speak while looking into her eyes.

Page 7
"Lisa, can you tell me how to get to the lake?"

"The lake? You take Bachman Road."

"The road's blocked." I recall what Cybil told me.

Page 8
"Well, that's the only way out there."

"Are you sure? There's gotta be another way."

Lisa places her hand on her chin and thinks for a bit. Then her eyes open wide as if she has realized something.

Page 9
"Wait, I just remembered something."

"What?"

Page 10
"There's a water works over by my old elementary school. It's been abandoned for years. There's an underground tunnel out there used for inspections, or something! I remember hearing it runs all the way to the lake!"

Page 11
"Really?! You think I can get to the lake from there?"

"I've never been down in there myself, so I'm not positive. Besides, it's all fenced off to keep people out."

Page 12
"If there's a chance, I've got to try."

Lisa embraces me again just as I think that her face is beginning to look tearful.

Page 13
"Harry, don't go! I don't want to be alone. It's so scary I can't stand it."

Page 14
This one room in an empty hospital. In this state in which monsters could kick in the door and enter at any time, she has no weapons with which to defend herself with. So her being gripped with fear is only natural.

Go to 11-2

Page 1 (Nightmare examination room) (Lisa appears)
What should I do?

A ) Take Lisa with me.
Go to 11-3

B ) Leave Lisa here.
Go to 11-4

Page 1 (Nightmare examination room) (Lisa appears)
I speak.
"How about coming with me? This may not be the safest place in the world either. I can't promise you anything, but I'll do my best to protect you."

Page 2 (Lisa looks down)
"No...somehow I feel I'm not supposed to leave this place. Oh, Harry, I'm so scared... I'm cold."

Page 3
I waver. Is it ok for me to leave Lisa alone... But then, what will happen to Cheryl? Cheryl has only me to depend on. My concern for Cheryl cannot be compared with my concern for Lisa. After all...she is my daughter.

Page 4
"Look, just wait here a little longer. I'll be back as soon as I find my daughter."
Perhaps those words rang cold for Lisa. But there is nothing that can be done. I must save my daughter.

"Harry..."

Go to 11-5

Page 1 (Nightmare examination room) (Lisa appears)
I waver. Is it ok for me to leave Lisa alone... But then, what will happen to Cheryl? Cheryl has only me to depend on. My concern for Cheryl cannot be compared with my concern for Lisa. And no matter what she is my daughter.

Page 2

Perhaps those words rang cold for Lisa. But there is nothing that can be done. I must save my daughter.

"Harry......"

Go to 11-5

Page 1 (Close up of metal grating floor)
I leave the hospital. The water supply installation near the elementary school... I was told that I could go through those sewers and reach the lake that Cheryl was heading toward. I must hurry.

Page 2
As I began to run I felt something fly over my head. It looks like something is flying in circles in the sky above me, but it is dark so I cannot see it so well. I climb the metal stairs of the building across the street, and then head up to the roof.

Page 3 (Close up of Float Stinger)
"What...what is this...?"
A giant moth... I guess I didn't completely kill it. That caterpillar that I shot at the Town Center has followed me here.

Page 4 (Float Stinger, animated)
And it has matured. It dances against the black sky and is looking down on me. In addition to the poison that it can discharge from its mouth, it now has a stinger with which to stick me with.

Go to 11-6

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I'm in danger...!

A ) Fire the rifle while avoiding it.
Go to 11-7

B ) Hide in the shadows of the buildings.
Go to 11-8

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I fire the rifle. However, it is adept in the air and evades my aim, leaving the bullet to hit only air before being swallowed by the darkness.

Go to 11-9

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I hid behind the water tower, and from the slight opening I observed the gigantic monster.

Page 2
A monster that circles the sky in attempt to catch me. Using the water tower as a shield I study its movements and at the same time look for a vital point.

Page 3
Its head, with those poisonous tusks... Its abdomen, which contains a large amount of poisonous liquid... Its wings, which it can freely control...

Go to 11-9

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
"Calm down", I told myself.

Go to 11-10

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I must focus on only one target.

A ) Abdomen
Go to 11-11

B ) Wings
Go to 11-12

C ) Head
Go to 11-13

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
While dodging it, I point barrel of the gun at the soft area below its chest. It adeptly uses it large wings to pursue me, but eventually its strength runs out and it falls between two buildings.

Page 2
Green liquid leaks from its insides, and its screams echo throughout the town.

Go to 11-14

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I aim at its wings. It wings are so large that even if I did blow a hole in one that it would not make much of a difference.

Page 2
The base of its wings... If I destroy the joint at the base of its wings then they will no longer
function. I adjust my aim.

Page 3
However, aiming at such a small area is quite difficult for an amateur like me. Besides, my opponent can freely fly in the sky, which makes me think that the shot is near impossible.

Go to 11-14

Page 1 (Float Stinger, animated)
I aim at its head. I rest the heavy rifle on my shoulder and while being careful not to let any sweat get in my eyes I place my finger on the trigger.

Page 2
Like many creatures this monster has a brain. That is what I will shoot and destroy. But my target is quiet narrow and small.

Page 3
The sound of my first shot reverberates into the night. But the bullet just grazes its head and disappears off into the darkness.
"Damn...!"

Page 4
But I do not give up. I must get closer to my opponent.
...But, if I draw it in then I must be ready. As doing so would be accompanied by danger.

Page 5
I avoid a shower of poison. Fortunately the wind has begun to blow. To adjust its wings to the wind takes all of its strength, and it appears to be having a difficult time attacking me.

Page 6
This is my chance. I once again steady my aim. And then I pull the trigger twice in a row.

Page 7
In that moment its head vanished from its body all at once. Without its control tower those wings and poison tusks were just that and they fell like a rag between the buildings.

The nightmare still continues...

Go to 12-1

Page 1 (Nightmare examination room)
I open the gate to the hospital and then energetically open the door of the examination room. Inside Lisa is waiting for me.

Page 2 (Lisa appears)
"Harry!"
She changes from looking completely exhausted and rushes over to me in an innocent childlike way.

Page 3
"Glad you're OK."

"Thank god you came back! I was scared to be here all alone!"

"I'm here now. I was worried, too. I'm real happy to see you."

Page 4
I lightly hug Lisa and gently draw away. I then speak while looking into her eyes.

Page 5
"Lisa...have you seen a police woman named Cybil?"

"Cybil...? That is the first time I have heard that name... I have not seen her... Since the town has become like this I have not met any humans other than you."

Page 6
I was irritated that I didn't understand anything that was going on, so I loudly clicked my tongue.

"What's wrong Harry? You don't seem yourself."

"Sorry… I just cannot see the truth. Even talking to you now, I wonder if it isn't just a delusion."

Page 7 (Lisa looks down)
Lisa looks a bit sad.

"I am me. Nothing has changed. I have just been waiting for you here all along."

Saying nothing, I just looked at Lisa.

Page 8
While we were talking I couldn't be sure if that I was currently sitting here or actually speaking.

My voice and my existence were beginning to disappear into the dry air in the room...

Page 9 (Examination room door) (Kaufmann appears)
And then the door opened and someone came in.

Doctor Michael Kaufmann.

Yes. He definitely said that he was a doctor at this hospital.

Page 10
"What are you doing?"

Lisa took a deep breath and half smiled to greet him.

"This is Harry. His daughter has become lost in this town."

Page 11
"He already told me that. Have you found her?"

No, I shook my head from side to side.

"Harry, do you know Michael?"

Page 12
"Yeah, when I first visited this hospital I met him once."

I recalled the sight of him holding me at gunpoint.

"Weren't you leaving town?"
I asked sarcastically.

Page 13
"It was no good. All the roads are blocked. It is impossible to get out."

The three of us just remained silent.

Page 14
"I grew up in this town. I know this area. As far as I could see all the roads leading out of town have become precipitous cliffs or were blocked with large boulders. We are completely isolated."

Page 15
Lisa's smile disappeared.

"Well...what are we going to do?" (Lisa)

"We should start thinking about that. I am going to get some sleep..."

With that Kaufmann left the room.

Page 16 (Kaufmann disappears)
"Where are you going?"

"To the director's office. He often sleeps there."

Lisa answered for him.
