- (Hugo, the protagonist and the camera get positioned)
- Hugo: Oh my, if it isn't the esteemed Manager.
- Hugo: It is an honor to meet you here.
- Hugo: Speaking of which... how have you been lately?
Fantastic!
- Hugo: That's great to hear. I've also heard that the video store's business is as good as ever. [verification needed]
Surviving...
- Hugo: Hahaha, you're too modest, Manager. I heard the video store is as busy as ever.
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- So what were you doing in front of the pharmacy?
- Hugo: Oh, that... just some personal matters, nothing worth mentioning.

"As Yesterday Dies"Story Description: You run into Hugo at the pharmacy entrance. Turns out he's still dealing with some after effects from what happened before...
- Hugo: Hey, how about we play a little game?
- Hugo pulls out a coin, skillfully maneuvering and shuffling it among his hands.
After some swift movements that your eyes can barely follow, he bunches his fists and holds them in front of you. - Hugo: Take a guess. In which of my hands is the coin hidden?
- Your left hand!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm guessing left(.. /

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm guessing left(.. /

- Neither.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I've got a feeling... it's (not in eithernot in either /

- Hugo: Actually, both of them are holding a coin. But hey, you're technically not wrong~
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I've got a feeling... it's (not in eithernot in either /
- Hugo: As a prize... you can have this.
- Hugo reaches out behind your ear and snaps his fingers. Suddenly, you feel as if there's something in your pocket.
You reach in and pull out a flower.
Just as you're about to scoff at the cliche trick, you realize that the flower is actually made up of folded Dennies. - Hugo: I remember Vivian saying that you seem to be troubled over your electric bills, so here's a little present.
- I'll gladly accept it!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then I'll accept this generous gift. Though... were you trying to distract me from something with that coin-guessing gameThen I'll accept this generous gift. Though... were you trying to distract me from something with that coin-guessing game /
Heh, then I'll gladly accept it! But suddenly playing a guessing game... you're not trying to hide something from me, are youHeh, then I'll gladly accept it! But suddenly playing a guessing game... you're not trying to hide something from me, are you)? [verification needed]
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then I'll accept this generous gift. Though... were you trying to distract me from something with that coin-guessing gameThen I'll accept this generous gift. Though... were you trying to distract me from something with that coin-guessing game /
- You're not trying to distract me and change the subject, are you?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wait a minute...Wait a minute... /
Hang on.Hang on.) Are you trying to hide something from me?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wait a minute...Wait a minute... /
- Hugo: Ah, and here I thought I was successful.
- Hugo: Alright, looks like I can't hide it from you. I've been taking some medication recently due to some side effects.
- Hugo: You probably already know, a lot happened when I faked my death.
- Hugo: To put it simply, I took something that could amplify my symptoms, so that I could collect more data on the substance that was used on me.
- Hugo: Taking all these medications together causes side effects. My body weakens, my temperature drops, and I even develop sensitivity to light.
- Hugo: But that last one might be because I've stayed too long in a dark environment, and my body can't adapt to the light.
- These symptoms sound oddly familiar.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Why do these symptoms sound so familiar? It's almost like you're describing a vampire from the old civilization...
- Hugo: Hahaha, what a strange coincidence.
- Aren't you a little too hard on yourself?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Aren't you(......) being a little too hard on yourself? [verification needed]
- Hugo: Not really. I knew there would be side effects, but I still chose to do what I did. [verification needed]
- Hugo: The situation was quite urgent, and someone had to do it.
- Hugo: I merely paid a small price to achieve my goals. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
- Hugo: After all, in this world, the only thing we truly have control over is ourselves.
- Hugo: ...That being said, if I managed to catch my uncle, I wouldn't hesitate to use him as a test subject.
- Hugo: That's reasonable, right?
- At this moment, an unexpected figure enters the pharmacy...
It's Lycaon. - Lycaon: ...Good evening, you two.
- Hugo: Not that good an evening for me. I didn't expect to bump into you here.
- Lycaon: Master Proxy, what brings you here?
- Hugo: I was just recommending some vitamins for the manager.
- Hugo: What about you? What are you doing at the pharmacy this time of night?
- Lycaon: ...Corin accidentally ate some of Rina's cooking, so I'm here to purchase medicine for her stomach.
- Hugo: Pfft, who knew that the internal workings of the famed Victoria Housekeeping would be so chaotic~
- Lycaon: I see you're familiar with the names of my coworkers at Victoria Housekeeping.
- Hugo: ...
- Hugo: You lot are the watchd— I mean, guardians of the Mayflower family. Of course I would have done my research.
- Lycaon: Is something amiss? You seem a little skittish.
- Hugo: Amiss? Please, you think too little of me.
- Lycaon: Master Proxy, what do you think? I trust your word over Hugo's.
- Hugo looks at you with a complicated expression...
It looks like he wants you to help him keep it a secret? - Lycaon: Master Proxy...?
- You're overthinking it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (UmmUmm /
UhhUhh)... Hugo's acting pretty normal. You must be overthinking it. - Hugo: See? It's as the manager said. Lycaon, you're too suspicious for your own good.
- Lycaon: ...Perhaps you are right. Very well.
- Lycaon: It's getting late, I'll take my leave. I wish you both a pleasant evening.
- Lycaon gives a refined bow before leaving.
- Hugo: Wow, looks like we're pretty in sync. Thanks for covering for me.
- Hugo: If it weren't for you, I'd have to explain a ton to that guy. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.
- Hugo: That's all for today. Let's meet again next time. Good night.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (UmmUmm /
- Hugo's hiding something from you.

- Hugo: ...Manager, you should know this. I've got more than just a couple of secrets I'm keeping from him. [verification needed]
- Lycaon: If you're unwilling to divulge more, naturally I will not pry. [verification needed]
- Lycaon: It's getting late, I'll take my leave. I wish you both a pleasant evening. [verification needed]
- Lycaon gives a refined bow before leaving.[verification needed]
- Hugo: Manager, that was a little mean. [verification needed]
- Hugo: I'm kidding. It's not that big of a deal to let him know. I just think telling him would be more trouble than it's worth. [verification needed]
- Hugo: Anyway, I'm glad to have run into you here tonight. [verification needed]
- Hugo: Till next time. Good night. [verification needed]
