I’m the Warden of this place – the one responsible for the people trapped here. Before this trial ends, feel free to refer to me as Esse; once my Prisoners call out to me, I’ll come.
This is TRIANTHA Prison, a place where we pass “judgment” on the people chosen as Prisoners. The possible verdicts are a Victim, a Perpetrator, or a Savior; and these are the only options for the final verdicts, as well.
The Prisoners get chosen by TRIANTHA based on the wrongdoings they committed during their lives. They all took away another person’s life, and they all had their life taken away.
I don’t know what is going to happen next, but I don’t want the ending to be too unhappy. I’ll do what I can; to try and make up for all the disappointment I caused in others.
The rules of the game get adjusted as the trials progress… I guess there aren’t any rules set in stone – a certain someone is choosing them based on her mood.
Prisoner 021 - Hiiro
Nishiyama Hiiro. The age is… twenty… four? Yeah, I’d be a university graduate by now. Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to have interests in a prison?
I’ve only been going easy on you because I don’t think of you as a real threat. Even if you tie me up and take away my voice, don’t expect that I’ll allow you to do whatever you want towards me.
I’ve grown tired of being unacceptable, see. I thought it might be pretty convenient to play along. Once it becomes more convenient for me to turn on you, I will do just that.
I don’t care who dies or gets to live. But when I look back at it, I think– Even though I spent the whole time trying to survive, it wasn’t worth it. Maybe it’d be easier if it were me– Maybe that’s what I’m regretting.
I did everything either because I was told to do so, or on a whim. To sit down and think “what I want”… I wish I’d be killed already, I guess.
Someone fell? I don't think I wanna see. Are we even allowed to go there? A suicide attempt? Most likely. Did anyone call the police already?
Prisoner 022 - ???
Even if you memorize my age, height, or the name you decide to attach to me, it's not like you'll be able to know my heart…
Warden, you know better what to choose. I believe you made this decision for things to become easier for everyone.
I'd like to become an adult one day. I started experiencing the world just a few years ago, so I’m still awkward at it… Well, you've never really been 18, so maybe you can’t fully understand.
I didn't want it. My whole life, I think. It's hard to deal with this feeling of frustration.
After the world ceases to exist, and a new one starts… I'd like to be reborn as someone else. A person who can connect with others in a meaningful way, and doesn't only harbor anger in their heart.
Hey, sorry to bother, but have you seen anything? …Didn't you go to the rooftop just now? It was you, right?
Prisoner 023 - Kai
Can't you drop these formalities already? You obviously know my name.
How funny. You chose the only option that you haven't chosen in the previous trial. Did you decide to mock the words that I told you back then? Though I was being genuine. Well, that must have been my mistake.
Is it fun to look down on me? I hate brats like you. Acting like you can take care of my feelings, just to say, “you’re pathetic”; this kind of so-called compassion — I don't need it.
That’s too much personal drama! Is it that hard to stop complaining about everyone being mean to you when you're the worst! It’s not like it’s anyone else’s responsibility… I know that…
If the world was to end in a few hours? I would rather die right this instant, then. That’s what I would think right away, but… My single wish would be for the world’s end to never come.
Gross… Call the ambulance! Ahh, now I’m gonna be late… Don't look there. That person did seem strange, have you noticed?
Prisoner 024 - Kouta
My name is irrelevant. I stopped counting my age a while ago. There’s no point knowing me.
I’m fine with it. If that's what you want from me. Huh… I wasn't docile before?
Don’t bother yourself. My feelings will change. And things that can’t last, don’t matter. “That’s an unhappy way to live” – but I’m not alive.
There's nothing that would make me say, “that's what I truly wished for at that time”. Even if I once felt regret from putting an end to it, I forgot about these feelings.
…No… I don't want anything. What I wish for can't come true, and so, I would rather never think about it.
Someone here lost consciousness, please take them out of the crowd! …What a nuisance… Why do they allow people like that to simply walk around? Thank god it wasn't me or my loved ones.
Prisoner 025 - Remi
Amano Remi. 21 years old. What are you staring at? I won't hesitate to gouge out your eyes, you know. Ah, although that won't give me any fun.
You're not surprising me, at all. It's always been easy to make me the bad one. No matter if I take things too close to heart, or approach them as carelessly as possible… I'm at fault either way.
You hate it when I'm doing my best to emotionally serve you. If no one needs it, then I won't waste my time and energy, either. Simple as that. Besides, that girl works great as a replacement, right? Cheers.
I don't know. Haven't I said already? I have nothing more to tell her. And… I'll never be the one she wants to see, either.
I would reveal everything that's been on my mind. All the writing I've never published… All the art projects that I couldn't ever begin to create. I'd send letters to the people who've left me a long time ago, and the people who stayed by my side despite everything. I think… I just want to be remembered.
A body found in the park’s lake. It's been here for approximately a few hours, since the early morning.
Prisoner 026 - Ayame
Muku Ayame! Uhh… How old was I again…? Umm, whatever! My name means "message of love" in the language of flowers; open the doors of your hearts wide! Three, two, one, kyu-u-un~!
I couldn’t make anyone happy. Myself, my family, my boyfriend, my best friend… Teachers were annoyed with me, classmates mocked me… I don’t deserve the title of a Savior. But it’s a chance that you’ve given me – so I will take it and treasure it.
I don’t think we’re coming out of here at all! But – or maybe because of that – I want to make the lives of people here a bit more bearable until it’s all over. So I thought to cheer up.
Because I'm a murderer, isn't that right? Hmm— What do my regrets have to do with anything? If this place was really giving me another chance, there'd be another person who I have to meet.
If I say “I still want to become an idol”, that'd be too silly, right? …I do want everyone to come to peace with themselves. And if I can help it somehow — by being by their side, listening to them, or singing them a lullaby… Then I'd be able to rest in peace.
Maybe another fake call? Like a prank? Her voice sounded genuine. Can we identify the address where she called from?
Prisoner 027 - Toa
Suzuki Toa… Eighteen years old? No, seventeen? Hmm… My hobbies… I was in the journalism club at school. That’s what I mostly did in my free time, yup.
‘Tis a bit better than bein’ completely isolated, yeah. Though, havin’ to act as some sorta your assistant makes me nervous. I tend to panic and space out easily, so.
Even my self that tried his best to get along, make those around him happier, or dedicate his life to someone… They don’t grieve for it. Because I fear overhearing these kinds of conversations… Because I can’t find any easy answer to the question, “why do hearts change?”... This is why, I burned it.
He dragged me ‘ere. In the end, I had to sacrifice my life for him against my will either way… Even though he'd never dedicate his life to me. In fact, if he did, then nothin’ of that would happen, y’know?
When the world is coming to an end, I’d like someone to hold my hand. Please don't promise if you won't actually do it. I find no comfort in half-hearted words.
Ah, he left already. I wanted to ask what happened to his friend. You're getting too attached to patients. I mean, he's really young, and his injuries are really bad, you know? Oh, right, it should be the time to check on him.
Prisoner 028 - Miku
You forgot my name again? That's so bothersome. Just Mi-kun is fine~! I'm seventeen, but I haven't even finished middle school! What a bummer~!
Of course that's what you'd do! How about you put a muzzle on my face — then I should be allowed to walk around freely, right? I mean, you've always been weird with these belts and all that!
If you label me as “the bad one”, then you won't get surprised if I do all the bad things! When I try to be a good kid, people put much higher expectations on me, and so I get punished for anything! I bet that's exactly why everyone loved that girl much more than me!
If that guy didn't want to help me, couldn't he at least stay with me during my last moments? To be told I'm the center of someone's world and then get dumped! I'll possess his life for as long as I can!
Wow, are you planning to kill us? …Then, I’d want to be special! I’d want to be loved more than anyone in the world! But wouldn't this wish of mine make us rivals?
Leave him be. Hmph. I will take care of everything else; you all can forget about it. Did you get what you wanted? I told you to leave him alone. He’s asleep.
Prisoner 029 - Chise
Chise Kawai. 19 years old. It’s fine if you don’t memorize this information.
It’s not the first time I deal with this. There’s nothing good to get out of people “relying” on you; I know that, and I knew it this time, as well… But in the bottom of my heart, I still carried a naive hope for something else.
I’ll just do my own thing now, and you can do your own thing. No confrontation, no cooperation either; though, due to my personal disappointments, I can't stand the sight of your face.
It's my fault. I have finally realized what exactly I've been doing wrong, causing us to be trapped here for an indefinite amount of time. This time will be the last one — I'll take the correct course of action. It's a promise.
I'll simply go on with my day as usual. Doing the things I like; chatting with the people whose company I find enjoyable. And then, when the world’s end arrives — hopefully, I’ll welcome it with calmness in my heart.
Huh? Did you hear? A scream. People always get wild at this time of the day, forget it. Hey, over there, someone is shouting. Yeah, it must be a drunk fight or something. Let's get out of here.
I want to suffest female composers for Movies, tv and videogames, as im compiling a list of them on my side :) My first suggestion is the beautiful work of Yoko Kanno ( Wolf's Rain, GITS Stand alone complex, Escaflowne, and so many more). Theres also Mayuko (Ranking of Kings), Michiru Oshima (Ico, FMA 2003), Anne dudley (Poldark, the 10th kingdom), Pinar Toprak ( Avatar frontiers of Pandora, Captain Marvel) and Laryssa Okada (Manifold Garden). Love the idea of this blog !
THIS. you made me realise that i don’t know any female composers. thank you!!
