Ophelia syndrome

PAGE 5:

1: I'll be taking that Numbers!

PAGE 6:

1: Do you really have to wear that anguished expression on your face so strongly...
2: Sorry, I just can't help but get reminded of bad memories when it comes to the Dark attribute.
3: How long are you going to be hung up on that...
4: Well...
5: I guess we had to go through a lot...

PAGE 7:

1: What's wrong, Yuma?
2: Well, it's just my right hand...
3: Something feels off...
4: Something feels off?
5: I don't know, it's kind of hard to explain... // It's like it's lighter than normal, like it's missing something...

PAGE 8:

1: You don't feel anything?
2: No, not a thing.
3: Weird.
4: Might just be my imagination then...
5: No, we probably shouldn't ignore it. Hurry and undo our Exceed.
6: But...
7: Yuma.
8: I don't believe in your instinct, but I do believe in you.
9: If you think something's wrong, then there really must be.
10: All right, then...

PAGE 9:

1: Okay, let's seperate for now, then.
2: Right.

PAGE 10:

1: Wha-?!
2: What is this...?!
3: Astral?!

PAGE 11:

1: Astral!!!
2: Yuma...!
3: Astral...!

PAGE 12:

1: Astral!!
2: Huh?

PAGE 13:

1: What the heck is going on...
2: My right leg and arm are...
3: A...

PAGE 14:

1: Astral...

PAGE 15:

1: Urgh...
2: Have you finally woken up?
3: You're...!

PAGE 16:

1: Kuku... It's been a while, Yuma...
2: Or should I say, ZEXAL?
3: Why... are you...?!

PAGE 17:

1: Oh...?
2: You're able to keep at least your form even without Astral.
3: Your original form may be a human, but I guess you aren't as incompetent as you seemed.
4: W-What do you mean by that...?!
5: I meant exactly what I said.
6: I sealed Astral.
7: You can't feel his presence or his voice, right?

PAGE 18:

1: C'mon.
2: Kahagh!
3: Urgh!
4: You can't move your right arm, right?
5: You're in such a pitiful state right now.
6: Is this what the almighty ZEXAL has been reduced to?

PAGE 19:

1: Just what... // are you trying to gain from this...
2: Hah
3: Kahah
4: Are you...
5: going to kill me...?
6: Hah, don't be ridiculous.

PAGE 20:

1: I want you.
2: I will obtain you...
3: ...and become the ultimate lifeform, surpassing even the original.

PAGE 21:

1: rub
2: W-What...?
3: What do you mean...?!
4: What do I mean...?
5: I think you should know that answer better than anyone else. // Right, former human?

PAGE 22:

1: Wha...?!
2: Oh? // So your body is just like ours.
3: No... // No, stop...!
4: Urgh
5: Hah
6: Hahh
7: lick
8: lick
9: Stop...
10: Haha, that's a nice look you got on your face, ZEXAL. // Tell me, how does it feel?

PAGE 23:

1: How does it feel to barely be able to maintain your form...
2: Hah
3: Ah
4: drip
5: ...And about to violated without any means of resistance, despite being a so-called savior!
6: Eek
7: N-No, don't do this!
8: Ah
9: squeeze
10: smack
11: Anything... anything but that...!
10: squish
11: Au
12: No!
13: A...

PAGE 24:

1: Astral...
2: Hahh
3: Hahh
4: So you're...
5: going to reject me as well...?

PAGE 25:

1: Huh...?
2: Eek!
3: Ah! // Urgh! Augh!
4: I suppose I'll tell you why I'm here.
5: Ahh
6: Ah
7: No
8: Urgh
9: Why I'm doing all of this to you.

PAGE 26:

1: It's all because of Astral.
2: Astral wanted to discard his attachment towards you.
3: That's why I'm here.

PAGE 27:

1: Hilarious, right?
2: Don't you just feel like bursting out laughing?
3: Augh!
4: .....!
5: Fuh
6: Guh
7: I ended up being born from // one of those 100 cards.
8: All to just end up becoming a trash can.
9: So you see...

PAGE 28:

1: I went ahead and devoured all those emotions he puked into me right up!
2: Unknowing of the power it was granting me, he just kept feeding me more and more.
3: And now all of that idiot's dirty greed has turned around and swallowed him whole!
4: Mm
5: Urgh

PAGE 29:

1: Do you have any idea how I feel?! // You'd never understand, you damn human!
2: He pushed all his tainted excess into me to keep himself pure and clean!
3: Hahh
4: Ah
5: Uwah
6: Ah
7: Are you at all capable of understanding my misery, Yuma?!

PAGE 30:

1: What's this...
2: Are you trying to sympathize with me?
3: No... // That's not it...
4: I finally understand.

PAGE 31:

1: That time I felt like something was off...
2: When it felt like I was missing something...
3: It was you.

PAGE 32:

1: What are you...
2: I have... // no idea if Astral...
3: really did all that you said he did... // but... haha... this is kind of weird...
4: With you close by me like this...
5: It feels like I've regained everything I felt was missing...

PAGE 33:

1: Yuma...
2: Sorry for not realizing it all this time.
3: But it'll be fine now.
4: So hurry and come back to me.

PAGE 34:

PAGE 35:

1: Well...

PAGE 36:

1: I don't approve of most of this, but I've accepted the situation.
2: (bubbleless) Sigh...
3: (bubbleless) I really don't approve of this...
4: So...
5: How long are are you planning to stay like taht.
6: Um...
7: Did you forget this was all your fault, idiot? // If you got a problem with it, then hurry up and take me in already.
8: I don't need to hear that from you. // But...

PAGE 37:

1: I'm sorry, Yuma, for making you suffer so much from this...
2: Oh, no, it's really nothing.
3: But his sense of self has really swelled up to an enormous level.
4: It'll take some time to fully break him back into myself...
5: (bubbleless) Break him back into himself...?
6: Okay, got it. Don't overdo it.
7: Yeah... // But there must be another cause for why a card's sense of self is growing so strong...

PAGE 38:

1: Hahaha...
2: (bubbleless) How should I respond...
3: This guy is just like how I said he'd be.
4: What are you whispering about over there?
5: Nothing... Not like it concerns you, anyway.
6: You've got some nerve for a Numbers... // I should probably take you back in right this instant.
7: Oh yeah? Go ahead and try it, tough guy. // I doubt you'd have any success, anyway.

PAGE 39:

1: Get along, guys.
