Chapter 3 - JIROU'S ORIGINS PART 1

(WE SEE YOR AND JIROU STANDING AND FACING EACH OTHER AND YOR IS HOLDING A BALL)

YOR: ALRIGHT THIS IS WHAT A DRIBBLE IS MEANT TO LOOK LIKE (SHE DROPS THE BALL AND INSTANTLY STARTS RUNNING WITH IT TOWARDS JIROU)

JIROU: I WON'T LET YOU (SHE STARTS RUNNING TOWARDS YOR BUT SHE INSTANTLY GETS PAST HIM HE TRIES TO RECOVER BUT SHE JUST GETS PAST HIM AGAIN)

JIROU: WHAT THE HECK?

YOR: COME ON ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?

(HE RUNS TOWARDS HER BUT SHE EASILY CLEARS HIM AND HE FALLS TO THE FLOOR)

YOR: I DON'T SEE WHAT MR JIGOKU SEES IN YOU YOU'RE PATHETIC (YOR'S LAST WORDS ECHO IN JIROU'S HEAD AND WE SEE A FLASHBACK)

(WE SEE PAST JIROU JUGGLING A BALL IN HIS BACKYARD AND HIS MUM COMES OUT OF THE HOUSE)

JIROU'S MUM: JIROU ITS TIME FOR LUNCH
