"Because I was born with crippled limbs,
My mother and father, who were always fighting,
Following the doctor's advice, signed a contract.
Then I, who had never once gone outside since birth,
Approaching my eleventh birthday in the hospital room,
For the first time got a body that could move freely.
So I like life at the Agency very much..."
My favorite thing → the peaceful morning air
My favorite thing → the smell of detergent
My favorite thing → the sky and the clouds and the sun and
My favorite thing → my free body
Ah... all of those are things that
Ah... were not there in my hospital bed -- I'm happy
"Each of us is placed in the charge of one of the adults at the Agency.
During training and jobs, we're always together
The two of us are called "fratello."
'Fratello'... that means "siblings"..."
Scoping out the location for the politician's assassination
Checking the escape route -- that's part of the job
The boy I met by the back entrance introduced himself
His name was Emilio -- we had a nice conversation
I didn't tell any lies, but I may have deceived him
The thing he mistook for an Amati violin was my gun
- that's the tool for my job...
"If someone sees you while you're on a job... be sure to kill them"
- Jean said
When I finished the job and was leaving the room, I met Emilio
"Um... what is it you say at a time like this... oh, that's right... I'm sorry."
"When I wake up in the morning, there's one thing on my mind
That is, that my body is still there today..."
Thank goodness ← it moves → having a free body → is a wonderful thing
I dream that I lose my limbs, and wake up crying -- can you understand that fear?
The sunlight shining in from the water's surface I look up at even while sinking, a transient illusion {dream}
The ideal {dream} shimmering high above the water's surface I look up at even while floating
The princess of the Land of the Sun runs across the twilight-stained beach
"A free body. Kind people. Happy days.
I really like living here, at the Social Welfare Agency..."
