He was dressed as that detective again, going on about justice! And he said you'd been here for weeks! I don't know what he's playing at, but it's obviously no good.
Cykes-dono, I'm a fugitive on the run. I maintained my guilt in court. The icy fingers of death were nearly around my neck, but I survived by coming here. Apparently some farce of an execution was staged in my absence, or so Justice claims.
Tch... [Looks off in the distance for a moment.] Can you stand? We should move while you give me your explanation.
[ WELL THIS DOESN'T SEEM SKETCHY so she does so! Sooo much exposition about that time everyone found out the Phantom's true identity and it cured her PTSD and everything was fine. ]
[He sure looks angry and shocked right now, doesn't he? Sure looks that way...]
Somehow, our experiences have diverged, but the facts remain the same. This entire year, I could have cut the Phantom down at any time, if only I had known...

[Sure! She can book it a step or two before a taser cranked to maximum voltage hits her back.]

Cykes-dono. Wake up.

Listen, something's wrong ... !

That much is clear. It's a good thing Taka led me over here. What happened?
no subject
I went looking for you, but- something happened...?
no subject
--What?! That blackguard is HERE??? Are you sure?

[ SMACKS THE GROUND!! ]

[SLAMS THE GROUND EVEN HARDER]
Detective? Are you suggesting that that dullard Fool Bright is the phantom I've been searching for all these years??
no subject
What are you saying?
no subject
That imbecile Justice wouldn't tell me a thing about what happened after I evaded my execution. I need to hear how you came to this conclusion!

Yeah, I can stand. [ MUFFLED SOUNDS OF LAWYERS STANDING ]

[Heading towards the theater!]
I will answer all of your questions, but first tell me everything you know about the Phantom, and what happened.
no subject
But... I don't get it? That didn't happen to you?

no subject
Yeah, it makes you angry, right...?
no subject
Until I get my hands on him. Then I will relish sending him down to hell where he belongs.
no subject
But right now, what are you feeling, Simon?
no subject
The damage caused by that monster has affected us for seven long years. Of course I feel angry...
[Looking at Athena now. Looking very hard at her.]

[oh shit wrong emotion]
[Fuck it he's going to try to grab her.]
