"meeting again"
They gotta translate these things, man (Welonz chuckles)
One day after we discovered a woman in the 
amusement park. We discovered 2 women, actually.
Hello, my boss
Is my boss into boy bands?
This is a really crowded office
Tanuki
Okay, I didn't need to know that
(Welonz chuckles)
Uhh
Is that so?
Does your boss have a name?
(Welonz chuckles)
Volleyball--No, no, no, no, I wanna, 
I wanna see the volleyball first
Can I exit out of this? Yes.
No comment on that?
Oh.
(Welonz chuckles)
Oh, I kinda like her already. She seems to have 
an approximate knowledge of many things,
not even approximate
Okay.
Huh. More bags. It's like a--is there a birthday 
party here? I thought I say "happy birthday" here
Can't quite reach that part, though.
(Welonz chuckles) She made like a lame pun joke
(Welonz chuckles)
She probably lives in here
So I don't really have a concept of how or 
what the setting and the time is right now,
but just judging by this room, probably Japan, 
but what time, maybe in the future?
It's futuristic enough that, I have a fake
eyeball inside my eyesocket, so that's one thing
And that's it on this side
This girl has style
(Welonz chuckles)
Otherwise, why would she have time 
to obsess over this? (Welonz chuckles)
Does Date have, like, more in-depth 
thoughts about anything? (Welonz chuckles)
He's just pointing things out.
Yes, come on, do you have any thoughts about any of this?
No, you wanna tell me more about it?
She has a lot of different interests, huh?
Is this guy just really a man of 
few words, or what? (Welonz chuckles)
I work here, it's the office
It's almost around Christmas time too, 
huh? There's a Christmas tree
Unless if you just have that all year round,
much like the Happy Birthday?
Okay, so I do work for the police
Yeah. Whatever works for you.
I think you have all the answers
What is your name?
Hm. Okay.
Suddenly things make some sense, then
if I don't remember anything
She mentioned very casually the case from 6 years ago,
meaning my personal case, 
where my eyeball was taken out
And now there's a copycat potentially, of another 
person trying to take people's eyeballs out
Okay.
Hoh...?
If you say so
Why, because the previous killer 
is dead already? Or arrested already?
That...doesn't make sense
'Cause we can draw from previous experiences
Yeah.
Hm, about Mizuki, the girl we found inside the merry-go-round
Do we both know her? I know her, I know her name
Oh.
Oh
A young girl lives with me?
Oh, my God.
That's...strange, and she was holding the icepick
right after we were thinking, "Hey, that person was stabbed, maybe she was stabbed with an icepick?"
It seems so oddly specific, though, 
like you could be stabbed with...
I don't know, a pencil? Heh.
Unlikely, but I'm just wondering why 
everybody thought of an icepick immediately
Ooh, who is that?
Somebody related to Mizuki?
Is Shoko the woman who died? What?
Wait, so the daughter was inside the 
thing, and then her mom was outside?
Okay, that's really weird because
the girl has a dad and a mom but she was living with me
Weird
Hmm
And yet
it was being held by the daughter 
of the person who died.
Could the case really be so simple? Probably not.
Really?
Well, it was very simply that makes me 
think it's related to my past
'cause for some reason, they're not letting me know
5 years ago, but I don't have 
memories going back 6 years ago,
so somebody I met like, a year after I had memory
I'm so old school
Okay, well, thank you. Can I use your computer?
Like a all-in-one?
Tch
This guy doesn't think about anything
Okay.
After we look at it, it becomes gray, right? 
This one's still green
There you go
Pff
Yeah, this guy seriously has no interesting thoughts
Okay, what should I do, then? Should I leave then, boss?
Should I go back to investigating?
It's probably a public pay phone
That almost makes me think that the 
murderer was the one who called in
Woah, oh, my God. Jeez!
(Welonz chuckles) Uh
Oh, my lord.
Good morning
So much for this thing being something 
that only I can talk to
(Welonz chuckles)
You have your own independent will
Oh, lord, I can't see out of one eye, so I'm seeing--
I'm seeing myself through that eye
My God.
(Welonz chuckles) Okay, uh--
Whoa, look at me, I'm moving my head 
and uh, the thing is moving. Oh, jeez.
Okay, what do you want?
What do you want from me?
Oh, hold on, I should probably save here, huh?
(Welonz reads the on screen description)
--"Flowchart"? This game has a flowchart?
Oh my lord, is it just gonna be like Zero Escape again?
I don't know.
I've heard that this game has some issues with 
crashing so I'm a little bit worried about that right now.
Gonna try to save pretty often. 
And while we're here anyway,
Could I try to turn down the sound a little 
bit? Feel like the music is a tad loud
in comparison to the voice
Okay.
Oh, my lord.
Did you see what it said? "Jump to 
another portion of the story"
Oh, my Goood
No...this again.
I see
Well, we probably don't need to look at it 
right now, so let's forget about this
"A story timechart". Okay, anyway. Case notes?
Yes.
Right now, we just learned a lot of information, 
I don't think we need to look at this
unless if we wanna look at the album photo
Mhm.
Date A
Is it "Date A" or Date A? 
(pronouncing the word vs the name)
I don't even know
Heh. Is this just like, easter eggs stuff?
Oh, like concept design?
Yeah, probably. Maybe this is like, 
later one or unused one?
Hm. My hair's so long and pretty. (Welonz chuckles)
Okay.
We're okay with this for now.
But is there anything you wanted me to do?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, there's a lot of different meanings to "I" and...
probably all of them makes sense in some way
Really?
'Cause it's kinda out of my eyesocket right now. Heh.
Yeah, remember, "Ai" means love.
(Welonz chuckles)
Okay. Well, they are a little bit quirky for an A.I.
Do you wanna talk to me?
(Welonz chuckles)
Tch. (Welonz chuckles)
Oh, my God
This guy looks like a pokemon gym leader
Mhm. My eyeball, she's gonna be a great eyeball for me,
the one in my eyesocket, but also a great "aibou", partner
Lots of puns and double meanings here
That's kind of freaky, but if it works for you
Oh, sorry (Welonz chuckles) We just asked that
Oh.
Well, then, hurry up and let me know
Oh, I gotta get used to this--moving the 
camera and moving the cursor independently
Ooh. Looks like a geek, his shirt says geek
24? (Welonz chuckles) He looks 12
Time to pay him a visit
Okay. Hold on, there's many things I 
gotta talk to this guy about first.
Yeah, but I just wanna hear you say it
I was just gonna say (Welonz chuckles)
(Welonz chuckles)
(Welonz chuckles)
We can't even control our own eyeball, so that's great
Well, alright
So we can go see the witness right away, but before 
we do that, did we miss anything around here? Oh.
Hello
(Welonz chuckles)
This looks pretty cool, and I thought he would be distant,
but he's pretty fun-loving, which is a nice contrast to see
Uh, I'm pretty sure there was a pun there 
just now, though in the Japanese version,
but when they translated it into English,
Was there a pun? "Zhuang people"? I don't think so
The translation is a little bit distracting to me, 
because they have jokes in the Japanese dialogue
and I think it's okay that it's not the same 
ones in the English version because
often times, it's not really translateable
but sometimes I'm finding the jokes in 
English not landing that well
and I bet it's just so hard to translate, 
so I, I can't blame them for it
It's really difficult.
Do we know what "ABIS" stands for?
(Welonz chuckles)
(Welonz chuckles)
I agree
He's a fun-loving guy, alright.
Wirelessly, dang
Technology of the future, huh?
Ah, we gotta keep doing this until the text turns gray
Oh, there's another green one here
You talk? (Welonz chuckles)
Who made that noise just now, the mannequin?
Is there more around here?
Oh, so sometimes it has multiple lines of dialogue,
maybe that's why some of it is so bland, 
it just says stuff like,
"It's a shelf, it's a cabinet"
Oh
The skis. Oh.
Never mind. (Welonz chuckles) 
That rule doesn't always apply
Ah, earlier, I didn't know you could move the camera and the cursor independently so I didn't get to check this out
Well, I did know, I just wasn't used to it
Well, she's right.
Why make the bed, if you know that you're 
just gonna go back to sleep again, right?
Like umbrellas?
Okay, well, that seems to be...it, I think
Like, perspective-wise or like, actually 
physically, if that makes sense
Huh, maybe both
I think we're done here for now.
Let's get to the eyewitness, then at Matsushita Diner
So this guy called on the payphone, 
but then he kinda ran away
He doesn't really want people knowing 
that he's the one who called
Which is kinda suspicious in itself
10 A.M.
Does her shirt say "Hipster"? (Welonz chuckles)
She kinda looks like a Pokemon person, too
Mom?
(Welonz chuckles)
Is your son around?
And a flashing kitchen knife
Ooh
"Thank y--" Oh, thanks for everything, mom
Oh--
Giving a knife to your mom when 
you're in elementary school? Okay.
That's nice. How did he make 
the flowery pattern, though?
Yeah, floral pattern, how'd he get that working? Is it 
that like a piece of paper stuck on the knife?
And that's it.
It's a chair
What?
(Welonz chuckles)
Yeah, so for the jokes, there's definitely 
little translation differences here already
In Japanese he said, "No matter how 
you look at it, that's a chair, right?"
I get these translation differences really go down to
culture differences, because Japanese people and English people find don't find the same things funny
We can ask about it
These are probably autographs here
(Welonz scoffs)
Yeah, see, sometimes he's so fun-loving but then the description is like, "It's a stool, it's a counter"
Okay, that's creepy.
(Welonz chuckles)
I've never heard of that
I wonder how much Date remembers if he has amnesia
Does he still know basic things, does he remember 
stuff he learned in his childhood? Nothing at all?
Pff
I mean, that's--
Usually beer ad people aren't 
like, the cutest people on earth, right?
The woman's wondering, "Oh my God, this guy just came into my place but he's not talking to me,"
looking at all these tables and stuff
More kitties.
What was that?
Pff
She said, "Oh, the calendar's cute" and a 
lot of you mght know that cute is "kawaii"
but another word for cute is "karen", 
so, "karen da" (calendar), "it's cute"
So many puns
(Welonz chuckles)
What?
(Welonz chuckles)
Well, hello there, Ms. Mayumi
Hm?
I thought you were maybe trying to say it's weird 
she gets a lot of people here because
it's next to an off-limits district?
Hm?
Did she not go outside? Maybe she didn't see the rain
Well, you got a good routine going on. 
Don't even need to talk to know what each other wants
Does he want to be a star, 
does he work as an assistant?
Oh, he likes a celebrity?
Ah, okay, I'm starting to see what kinda guy Ota is(Welonz chuckles)
Where?
It's probaly photo books or something
Uh, hold on, can we get out of this?
Yes
Is it alright, can we see?
(Welonz chuckles)
It's an idol
Are we allowed to look inside, thought?
X-ray vision, how about that?
It says Amazon Japan on the side, what the heck?
That's so blatant (Welonz chuckles)
Look, it says it right here, it's not even like,
it's just not even just similar to it, it 
actually just says Amazon, oh my God
You got it, boss.
Oh, my God
It's a figure
Hm?
"A-set"?
Did that remind me of something? 
Could hear my heart beating
Okay, well, maybe you work on that for now; 
I'll go back to talking to this woman
Hmph
A-set?
"A-set" is kinda a weird name, though.
Well, I don't think this guy is the murderer
But then, why did he run away and not 
wanted to be contacted by the police?
Ah, so in the original dialogue, the woman 
justdidn't know what a cell phone is
(Welonz scoffs)
I wouldn't call an idol a 'musician', but alright.
"Lemniscate"?
"Lemniscate, Lemniscate"? Is that an English word?
Oh!
Okay, we did learn something new here, then
This woman's son is the one who called in the murder, and he also happened to go to the place,
belonging to the person who used to be 
married to the person who is murdered.
Oh, my God. That's quite a connection
Oh yeah, yeah, no, I already looked at it. Alright.
Okay, Lemniscate.
