Victim Reports from Requiem (Translation Attempt)
If you haven't watched Mikoto's T3 MV, this is your last and only warning for spoilers!
Seeing as I am very amateur at this, I am not formatting the profiles in the correct sections. The lines may not be translated in the order they are shown either. I am just typing up like a summary of what I understood ("understood" pfft yeah. Any big words or difficult phrases I had to use google translate. The cause of death translations were all google translate). And I will slip in occasional commentary.
(Sometimes I replace culprit/suspect with 009. All "prisoner number 009" has been shortened to 009 for convenience. After stating the full name for the victim, I refer to the victim by their surnames.)

Nakabayashi is unemployed and homeless, his cause of death was cerebral contusion from a severe blow to the head. He has no fixed address and uses parks and streets as his living space He used to run a business but got tricked by a friend.

Might be 救急 which means something like to handle an emergency. 救 = save, 急 = sudden/urgent. Thank you Sandy for helping me with this!!)
Disclaimers: I'm not fluent at Japanese and probably have hallucinated words into the profiles that when couldn't read the line (my questionable eyesight...) so if anyone has anything to add on or correct, please do! And if you see a full proper translation of these profiles please send me a link, thank you!
Final note on boundaries: Please do not put criticism of Mikoto's T3 or Milgram in general in a place I cannot easily avoid (ahem, reblogs, comments, my inbox). It is not to say I do not have my own personal criticisms such as 'ah it probably would've been better if it was done this way' but such topics are something I prefer to discuss only with people I trust.
(And lastly, although I wasn't translating word for word, I avoided adding/removing any details to make Mikoto look better or worse. If I took things out it was usually because I didn't know what it was. And if I added something by accident, sorry, I'm tired. Keep voting discourse away, thanks!)
