*Two days before*
After Sumi's death, Kazumi became like empty husk. A husk that doesn't have a will of his own, a husk that that is too broken to feel anything. Tomoya isolated himself in his room. Not eating nor moving and speaking. Rika tried to comfort him but it doesn't helping at all.
It is already dinner but Tomoya still not eating so Rika confront him and wake himself up. She gently open the door when she saw Tomoya trying to hang himself. Rika run as fast as she can and push Tomoya away from the hanging rope, pinning Tomoya on the floor.
[Rika]: What are you doing Tomoya!?
Kazumi is not answering nor looking at her eyes.
[Rika]: Tomoya! If someone is speaking to you, You should look at their eyes.
Kazumi still not saying anything.
[Rika]: This is not how you usually was. The Tomoya i know is a cold blooded but still moving forward.
Tomota blurted something.
[Tomoya]: The Tomoya you know is dead.
[Rika]: What did you say?
Tomoya shouted and pushes Rika.
[Tomoya]: I told you that Tomoya is already dead! You will never saw him again.
Rika gets close and slaps Tomoya.
[Rika]: This is not what Sumi wants to you!
[Tomoya]: Then why everyone i cared for are always leaving and not coming back! Rika, tell me... What did i do to deserve this!? I did everything i could.
[Rika]: I don't have an answer for that.
[Tomoya]: Then why are you even here!? And don't say that name in front of me!
[Rika]: Tomoya...
Rika hugs him but pushes her immediately.
[Tomoya]: I don't know anyone named Tomoya.
[Rika]: It's you.
[Tomoya]: Who is this Tomoya even anyway?!? Your cold blooded brother!? Always moving forward!? Don't... MESS WITH ME!
[Tomoya]: That night, i told her to stay until i wake up. But when i woke up, What am i holding isn't her hands anymore, But a mere recorder!
[Rika]: Sumi talked with me, She told me to be always right beside you when she is gone, That's why i am here, for Sumi and For you to help shoulder this burder to you...So please, come back to us Tomoya.
[Tomoya]: I can't...
[Rika]: Sumi leaves this for you, for us to win. Carry her will, won't you?
Rika gave Tomoya necklace with a picture below it. It has Tomoya and Sumi's face together. Tomoya started to cry. Rika hugs him until he sleep.
*One day before*
Rika called everyone to have a meeting. When everyone was in there, Rika started to brainstorm their plan. But after a half day and a hundred brainstorms, They can't come up with a plan as good as Tomoya and Sumi's plan.
[Mavy]: What now Rika? Tomoya already lost his will to fight.
[Rika]: I don't know. But, We have to make something work. So Their sacrifice will not be in vain.
[Mavy]: Why is Tomoya like that!? After he sacrifice everything, even our friends, especially Dae, Why did he back out from this!? He even told us that no one will die anymore. Does he want to waste Sumi's sacrifice!?
[Rika]: Don't you ever say that in front of me and my brother.
Tomoya suddenly appeared in front of them.
[Tomoya]: Rika, Mavy is right. But Mavy, It's true that i gave up once. But i will make my last stand right here, right now.
[Rika]: Tomoya... Thank goodness.
[Tomoya]: Everyone, I'm sorry for me giving up. But, for one last time, I want you all to obey me. I will be honest to you, If you are brave who wants to die for peace, stay. But, Leave if you are too afraid to sacrifice yourself.
Everyone just smiled and all stay.
[Tomoya]: If all of you are willing to die then, here's my plan.
"I want to divide us to four groups. The three groups will consist's of atleast one third of our population. The three groups will have it's own leader and a commander. Rika, Mavy and I will be the leader. After we go from their base, It's the turn of the fourth group. It will be all the leaders plus eight of each group that will be chose. Everyone equip your explosives and weapons, Also the Jamming gadget. As for our objective, It is to reach the core and continue the installation that Sumi left us behind. Stall until i finished installing it and out. The three groups will surround them and the Fourth group wil bethe only one who will come inside. Dismiss"
