SERGEANT NPC CONTACT

[cartesio]

The Lodge is located on the hills near the town, large and strange. It contrasts a lot when compared to the rest of the town -- its gray and white walls are quite the change from the vibrant and colorful Cartesio, the plants and bushes that are planted on the lower levels of the Lodge only make the contrast more obvious. There are many windows, but no matter how much you look you don't see anyone passing behind them. If you didn't know better you'd think it was completely empty.

But it isn't empty. The Sergeant is there.

You won't get too far into the Lodge before you encounter the Sergeant. There he is in the lobby, standing in front of a door that leads deeper into the building. No matter at what time you come or what you do, he'll always be there, reading self-help books, or with a mirror, practicing his next speech/confrontation. When he's not facing all of you at once, he seems to be easier to talk with.

Want to bother him?

[clearities]

I think so, too. But... I'm surprised that you understood it so easily, Sergeant-san!

[cartesio]

I wouldn't be able to be in charge if I didn't understand people up to a certain point. There's still a lot I'm not sure about, but I pride myself in knowing about a few areas of sociology and social behavior.

[clearities]

Maybe, but I think that in order to understand someone like that, you can't be entirely bad. Even if you try to act like it.

[cartesio]

....

[The Sergeant slowly crosses his arms, sways in his place, looks away. There's a moment before he finally replies]

What I think or don't think doesn't matter. Orders are orders, and I'm going to fulfill them. Nothing's going to change that -- that I can tell you with no doubt.

I'm going to take this to its completion and I'll succeed. End of discussion.

[clearities]

... [ She doesn't say anything-- not at first, anyway. ] Okay. I probably should get going, but... I'll come back, another day.

[cartesio]

Try not to die.

[It'd be unfortunate for Sakura to die, he guesses. That seems to be his farewell. See you next time, Sakura!]
