"You gonna say anything?" - Ryu

"...I like when the perps talk first, gives you an idea on what type they are." - Hyō

Sits down

"You're the sassy type huh" - Hyō

"Public Prosecutor, Hyō Akihara" - Hyō

"Name's Ryu—" - Ryu

"Hasashi. You're 18, still young, went to a private school, suddenly disappeared in December last year, resurfaced recently and went to Mikurajima, along with 3 other boys..." - Hyō

"Did your homework huh?" - Ryu

"Not enough" - Hyō

Leans closer

"What happened on that island" - Hyō

"Imma be real with ya. I, heard that there's a manhunt on Mikura and there'll be a reward for whoever found Mr. Nijino, since they said he's been missing for a while." - Ryu

"So I just went to get that bag like everyone else." - Ryu

"So did you ever see the Governor on the island?" - Hyō

Flashback to Zero strangling Itachi (Satoru Nijino)

"Nah" - Ryu

"Were you involved in the paranormal activities happening on the island?" - Hyō

Flashback to fighting Enra

"No sir I was not" - Ryu

"..."

"You're really not helping me Ryu" - Hyō

"Can you be a little more specific—" - Ryu

Hyō bangs table

...

"Hmmph... you're making me loose my cool." - Hyō

"I thought prosecutors don't break?" - Ryu

"They don't, it's just people like you who make it hard" - Hyō

"Oh so I make you hard?" - Ryu chuckles

"Fuck you. Who told you about the the manhunt and the reward bs?" - Hyō

"I saw it on the news" - Ryu

"What!" - Hyō

"Yeah, this chick broadcasted some message saying Tokyo's Governor is MIA on Mikurajima island, there was a price on whoever finds him and brings him back, double if we bring him back in a clean suit." - Ryu

"Ryu, this wasn't on the news, if it was then I would've known by now, and if what your saying is true, then this would've been illegal and impossible to execute, the government would've made it as confidential as possible, no one would know he even went to Mikurajima in the first place." - Hyō

Ryu stares in confusion

"Either you're hiding something, or you're just one shitty liar" - Hyō

"But, I saw it, we saw it, you can ask my bros" - Ryu

"So you're not alone on this?" - Hyō

"...Shit" - Ryu realizing

"Let me rephrase this" - Hyō standing up

"Come clean, give me some names, was this a planned terrorist attack? I can give you a lighter sentence if you tell me everything, work with me." - Hyō

"Or—" - Ryu

"Or I'll throw you into fucking prison by the end of the day" - Hyō snaps
