- (Noritsune is in front of me, and the Heike soldiers are rapidly approaching from behind... It's over...)
- Shanao
- (Should I fight? No. I don't even know how many are coming. I just need to focus on finding a way out of here...)

- C'mon!
- Shanao
- What? Woaaaah!
- Shanao
- Noritsune? What are you doing?
- Noritsune Taira
- Don't move.
- Shanao
- W-wait!
- Heike Samurai

- Heike Samurai
- Lord Noritsune! Here you are!
- Heike Samurai
- Have you heard? Shanao just showed up in Kyoto!
- Shanao
- (I guess this is it...)
- Heike Samurai
- He told us he was excommunicated from Kurama, then he ran off. We've been searching everywhere for him!
- Heike Samurai
- Have you been here the whole time? Did you see him?

- Noritsune Taira
- Nah, I haven't seen him.
- Shanao
- (What?)
- Shanao
- (What did he just say?)
- Noritsune Taira
- Now stop wasting time! We've got to find him!
- Noritsune Taira
- Hurry, check one of the other gates out of town, I'll join you soon!
- Heike Samurai
- Yes sir!
- Heike Samurai
- C'mon everyone, let's head out!
The footsteps were now almost directly behind me.
I leapt forward and tried to slip past Noritsune, then—
He grabbed me forcefully by the wrist.
Dragging me by the wrist, he forcefully pulled me into a nearby alleyway.
At the sound of the soldier's voice, I froze. At the same time Noritsune turned around and walked back to the road.
