4★ Shizuru Kaiba - Memories Collected by Sound (Part 4) [BLUE ATTRIBUTE]
Part 4 has two episodes. The ending of this episode will be different from Part 4 (Red Attribute)
Noah: Do you think… it can still be fixed?
Shizuru: The player is somewhat okay, but the tape took a lot of damage, I don’t know if it’ll still be okay…
Noah: L-let’s try listening to it.
Shizuru: Okay then, put this on.
I have some earphones ready.
Scoot over here, I can’t reach you so you’ll have to come closer.
Noah: The sound is… terrible.
Shizuru: Ah…
Noah: Ah… I can’t hear anything….
Shizuru: …. Shit, just as I was about to…
The timing couldn’t have gotten worse, or maybe…
This is just how fate is supposed to be…
Noah: So uhm, about the cassette tape…
Shizuru: Before my memories were taken away by the academy, there was probably a recording of me… and my friends together.
It sounds like I used to be part of a band back in the day.
Me and the others used to record in the studio filled with energy and were young.
Noah: Kaiba-san, how much have you remembered from your previous memories?
Shizuru: I just know that I used to make music.
I remember making a few songs. I remember that clearly.
But, there’s this one song that I can’t recall no matter how hard I try.
Relying on my vague memories, I found this one cassette tape along the way.
Even though I remember some parts, it’s pretty fuzzy. I thought maybe I can finally listen to it, but it looks like I won’t be able to hear it ever again…
Noah: …..
Shizuru: Ah– …. But you know, I can still find one just like this again.
I’m sorry for lying to you about the tape containing information about the Chaostone.
I want to apologize to you properly for troubling you like this.
Noah: … But, why would you need to lie? Even without my help, you could have found a cassette player.
Shizuru … I didn’t want to listen to it alone.
Noah: Huh?
Shizuru: I was scared to uncover a side of me that I didn't know about.
Noah: Kaiba-san…
Shizuru: Well, in the end I didn’t get to listen to it.
Guess luck wasn’t on my side this time.
Noah: uhm, Is there anything I can do to help?
Shizuru: Ahaha, it’s fine, don't worry.
Noah: But—
Shizuru: Ah— Just one more thing. If something comes up again, I’ll give you a call.
I promise I won’t lie to you next time, I’ll be honest and sincere.
Noah: Yeah! Of course!
Shizuru: Thanks for hanging out with me today. It was nice having you around, Noah.
