::You come up to a short, stocky man looking at the table in front of him. The table is littered with numerous glasses, out of which only one is full; as he picks it up, your eyes become drawn to a sizable coal-black tattoo on his right arm. You stare at the ink: It depicts an intricate earth fissure which starts from the elbow and moves down to his hand, with tiny, angular cracks radiating from it in all directions. Upon looking more carefully, however, you realize that the center of the tattoo is actually a large scar, effectively making the tattoo its embellishment. Your curious stare provokes an indifferent one from him as well as a couple of words expressed in a mildly annoyed manner.::

You need something, $(#bud/sugar)?
<end>

=>q1

::小柄でがっしりとした体格の男が、目の前のテーブルを見つめているのが見える。テーブルには多数のグラスが散乱しており、一つだけが満たされている；彼がそれを手に取ると、あなたの目は右腕のかなり大きな石炭色のタトゥーに引き寄せられる。あなたはそのインクを見つめる：肘から手に向かって続く複雑な地割れを描いており、あらゆる方向に小さな角張った亀裂が放射している。しかし、より注意深く見ると、タトゥーの中心が実は大きな傷跡であり、タトゥーがその装飾をなしていることに気づく。好奇心旺盛なあなたの視線は、彼から無関心な視線と少し苛立ちを帯びた言葉を引き出す。::

何か用か、相棒？<end>

*そう*！何か知っているか？<end>

=>q27_original
::He makes a long pause, takes full shot of whatever he is having and contorts his face again. This time it took him a bit longer to recuperate, but when he's done he turns to you once more.::

Aight, listen $(#bud/sugar) - I think I know about those people. ::He signals the bartender for another drink.::<end>

=>q27

::長い間を置いてから、飲んでいるものを一気に飲み干して再び顔を歪める。今回は回復するのに少し時間がかかったが、それが終わると再びあなたの方を向く。::

ああ、聞いてくれ、相棒——その人たちのことは知っていると思う。::バーテンダーにもう一杯持ってくるよう合図する。::<end>

=>q28_original
Usually I don't care about people. People - they're jerks, scum. People, I meet and forget - their name, appearance, what we talked about... just like I'm going to forget you and this whole stupid conversation. But those two, I remembered those two. For a strange reason, but I did.<end>

=>q28

普通は人なんて気にしない。人間——くずだ、ゴミだ。会っても忘れる——名前も、外見も、何を話したかも……今のお前とこのくだらない会話と同じようにな。でもあの二人は、あの二人のことは覚えていた。不思議な理由でな、でも覚えていた。<end>

=>q29_original
::He continues after his drink arrives.:: Aight, let's get things rolling. I remember first seeing them right here in Core City. I was chillin' by my train when they approached me and asked where the train was headed. I told them to Rail Crossing, and they boarded the train. I heard them mention SGS at some point, can't be bothered to remember exactly when, but I think you and I are thinking of the same people.<end>

=>q29

::飲み物が届いてから続ける。:: ああ、話を進めよう。最初に奴らを見たのはここコア・シティだった。列車の近くでくつろいでいたら向こうから近づいてきて、列車がどこへ向かうか聞いてきた。レール・クロッシングだと答えると、列車に乗り込んだ。どこかの時点でSGSについて話しているのを聞いたが、正確にいつかまで覚えていないが、お前と俺は同じ人物のことを考えていると思う。<end>

=>a30_original
Rail Crossing, why would they go to Rail Crossing?<end>

=>a30

レール・クロッシング、なぜレール・クロッシングへ行ったんだろう？<end>

=>q31_original
How would I know that, $(#bud/sugar)? All I knew about them was that they were headed for Rail Crossing - that's it.<end>

=>q31

どうして俺が分かる、相棒？奴らについて知っていたのはレール・クロッシングへ向かっていたということだけ——それだけだ。<end>

=>q32_original
So we arrived at the Rail Crossing station. I walked outside to stretch my freakin' legs when I saw those two friends of yours being harassed by some gang at the station, which was mostly empty at the time. So, these damn gangsters pulled out their weapons and forced the duo into the caves north. Dragged them, actually. That was the last I've seen of them.<end>

=>q32

それでレール・クロッシングの駅に着いた。外に出て足を伸ばしていたら、お前の知り合いの二人が駅でギャングに嫌がらせされているのを見た——当時駅はほぼ無人だった。そのくそギャングどもが武器を取り出して、その二人を北の洞窟に無理やり連れて行った。引きずって、実際には。それが奴らを最後に見たときだ。<end>

=>a33_original
Why didn't you do anything to help them? How could you have just stood there and watched all that?<end>

=>a33

なぜ助けに行かなかったんだ？ただ立って見ていたのか？<end>

=>q34_original
::He chuckles.:: Help them? Don't be stupid, $(#bud/sister). Every day I see people getting killed like pigs, or beaten or, or pulled away somewhere into the darkness. If I tried to help every single poor soul I'd be a goner by now. Dead. Ice cold, $(#bud/sister). I mind my own business and let the world do its freakin' thing.<end>

=>q34

::笑う。:: 助ける？馬鹿なことを言うな、相棒。毎日人々が豚みたいに殺されたり、ボコされたり、あるいはどこか暗闇に引きずられたりするのを見ている。哀れな魂を一人一人助けようとしていたら、今頃俺は消えていた。死んでいる。氷のように冷たくなって、相棒。俺は自分のことだけを考えて、世界にはやりたいことをやらせておく。<end>

=>a35_original
Can you tell me anything about the gang that kidnapped them?<end>

=>a35

その二人を誘拐したギャングについて何か教えてくれるか？<end>

=>q36_original
Gangsters like any other gangsters - filthy, dumb and packing major firepower. ::He laughs.:: Hmmm - actually, those folks had chemical pistols as far as I can remember. That's the only thing I can tell you about them.<end>

=>q36

他のギャングと同じ——汚くて、バカで、大火力を持っている。::笑う。:: ふーむ——実際、あの連中は俺の記憶が正しければケミカルピストルを持っていた。それが奴らについて言えること全てだ。<end>

=>a37_original
You just told me you don't care about people and forget everyone, yet you remembered Terry and Lora. How come?<end>

=>a37

人のことは気にしないで全員忘れると言っていたのに、テリーとローラのことは覚えていた。なぜだ？<end>

=>q38_original
::He pauses to think, then takes a solid gulp of his drink.::

I don't know. I usually get sick when I see people care so much about each other, like those two did. At least from what I saw at the station. Maybe it's the negative emotion I felt that got engraved in my mind. I don't know. Don't care, though.<end>

=>q38

::考えるために間を置いてから、飲み物をぐっと飲み込む。::

分からない。普通、あの二人がそうだったように人々がお互いをそこまで気にかけているのを見ると気分が悪くなる。少なくとも駅で見た限りはそうだった。頭に刻み込まれたのは感じた嫌悪感かもしれない。分からない。どうでもいいが。<end>

=>a39_original
Is that all you know?<end>

=>a39

それが全てか？<end>

=>q40_original
::He finishes his drink.:: That is all. Hope that's what you wanted, $(#bud/sister), and to give you some advice while we're here: Forget about your friends - they are probably rotting somewhere in the caves right now. I've seen a lot of that stuff and... just forget about them.<end>

=>q40

::飲み物を飲み干す。:: それだけだ。お前が求めていたものだといいが、相棒——ついでに一つアドバイスしておこう：友人のことは忘れろ——今頃奴らはどこかの洞窟で腐っているだろう。そういうことはたくさん見てきたし……忘れろ。<end>

=>a41_original
Go on...<end>

=>a41

続けて……<end>

=>a42_original
They went to Core City but never made it back to SGS. I'm trying to learn what happened to them.<end>

=>a42

コア・シティに行ったがSGSに戻らなかった。何があったか調べようとしている。<end>

=>a43_original
::[Persuade]:: Tell me what happened to your son. Sometimes talking helps.<end>

=>a43

::[説得]:: 息子に何があったか話してくれ。話すことで楽になることもある。<end>

=>q44_original
It won't help. I've talked to people before. It doesn't help.<end>

=>q44

楽にはならない。前にも人と話した。楽にはならない。<end>

=>q45_original
::He continues after a pause.:: His name was Timothy. His mother died at birth, so I was all he had, and he was all I had. Until some... some freakin' lowlife scumbags, some dirtbags broke into our house one day, many years ago. We didn't have anything valuable, and I told them that. But they... they weren't there for valuables - but for blood. Psychos. Bastards!

I tried to protect him. I failed. I squeezed the lives out of those rats as hard as I could, but for my boy... it was too late. The grin on the man's face while he was killing my... my boy still haunts me. I see it even now. It's like he...<end>

=>q45

::間を置いてから続ける。:: 名前はティモシーだった。母親は出産時に亡くなったから、俺には息子だけ、息子には俺だけだった。そして何年も前のある日、何者か……くその底辺野郎ども、汚い奴らが家に押し入ってきた。価値あるものは何もないと告げた。でも奴らは……価値あるもののために来たんじゃない——血のために来たんだ。精神異常者たち。くそ野郎！

息子を守ろうとした。失敗した。あのネズミどもの命を絞り出すために全力を尽くしたが、息子には……手遅れだった。奴が俺の……俺の息子を殺しながら浮かべていた笑みが今も頭から離れない。今でも見える。まるで奴が……<end>

=>q46_original
::He makes a lenghty pause before continuing.:: This scar, one of them slashed my arm with a knife. And the tattoo... I did that myself. My life was torn apart so I... well... ::He abruptly stops talking and finishes his drink.::<end>

=>q46

::長い間を置いてから続ける。:: この傷は、奴の一人がナイフで腕を切りつけた。そしてタトゥーは……自分でやった。人生がめちゃくちゃになったから……まあ……::突然話すのをやめて飲み物を飲み干す。::<end>

=>a47_original
I'm very sorry about your boy. Things like that shouldn't happen.<end>

=>a47

息子さんのことは本当に申し訳なかった。そんなことは起きるべきじゃない。<end>

=>q48_original
::Before you even get the chance to speak your thoughts, Gorge angrily interrupts you.::

Whatever you were gonna say - I don't care. It's meaningless. All this was meaningless. Now you can politely DROP OFF! And if you ask me about my son, scar, tattoo or... or anything like that again, I'm gonna smash your freakin' windpipe. You dig that, $(#bud/sugar)?<end>

=>q48

::あなたが考えを口にする前に、ゴルジュが怒りをもって遮る。::

言おうとしていたことは何でも——どうでもいい。無意味だ。全部無意味だった。消えてくれ！息子のこと、傷跡、タトゥー、あるいは……そんなことをまた聞いたら、お前ののど仏を叩き潰してやる。分かったか、相棒？<end>

=>q49_original
::He signals the bartender for another drink, then turns to you?::

Get it? Aight?<end>

=>q49

::バーテンダーにもう一杯持ってくるよう合図してから、あなたの方を向く。::

分かったか？ああ？<end>

=>a50_original
I understand it is a terrible loss, and it saddens me to hear stories like this. But, you have to be strong. Help others - help yourself! Don't drown your life in liquor.<end>

=>a50

辛い喪失だとは分かっているし、こういう話を聞くのは悲しい。でも、強くならなければ。他人を助け——自分を助けろ！お酒で人生を溺れさせるな。<end>

=>a51_original
So you get yourself wasted every chance you get? Is that the man your son would've wanted you to become?<end>

=>a51

チャンスがあるたびに酔い潰れているのか？それが息子さんが望んでいたあなたの姿か？<end>

=>a52_original
Your son died, yet you are still alive. Maybe you were more concerned whether you were going to survive, not little Tim.<end>

=>a52

息子さんは亡くなったのに、あなたはまだ生きている。もしかしたら、ちっちゃなティムより自分が生き延びられるかを気にしていたんじゃないか。<end>

=>a53_original
I have no comment.<end>

Stop asking me about that, aight? Just... leave it.<end>

::He takes a look at his scar, staring at it for a few moments, taking a sip of his drink in the process.::

The scar is from an accident. The tattoo is from a tattoo shop.<end>

傷跡は事故によるものだ。タトゥーはタトゥーショップで入れた。<end>
