The Clone Returns Home Page #2

I won't permit you

dying before me.

Okay?

Let's go. It's cold.

Noboru...

Noboru...

You okay?

It's nothing.

Just a dream.

You've been tired lately.

No wonder you have bad dreams.

I'm fine.

Dinner is ready.

Tokie.

Yes?

Oh, forget it.

What's wrong? Tell me.

Hello... Yes it's me.

Okay. Understood. I'm right there.

Mom's condition isn't good.

I gotta go to the hospital.

I'll go with you.

Don't worry.

I'll call if anything happens.

We'll work this out.

I appreciate everything.

Don't worry. There will be no victims.

CHAPTER 2:
THE SECOND KOHEl

We have no intentions

of offering condolences.

Let me see my husband's remains.

The accident occurred outside

the Earth's atmosphere.

Please try to understand.

He's not your tool to play with.

Dead or...

resurrected to life?

Don't play with him because you can.

If... my husband is really dead then...

his soul should've gone back

to his dead mother's side.

Your husband... by his own will, in the

case of death in the line of duty...

chose to be restored as a clone.

Don't you think he probably did it

for your family's future?

With the intention of telling you

at some future date.

I can't consent to this.

To your selfish will.

Why was I left out and have to consent

to this impossible situation?

I understand your confusion.

But your husband will return

to you just as he was.

Then you can hear the whole

story directly from him.

Coming back as a clone?

How do we know if he's my...

husband or not?

I'd imagine that you'll know

better than us.

Please calm down and sign the forms.

No.

I don't trust you.

Then I will have to offer

our condolences.

Is that what you want?

The test results are normal.

Two days have passed

but still no consciousness.

How about sensory stimulants?

Too great a risk.

If his memory malfunctions,

we'll lose everything.

But...

Let's observe him a while.

You should take a break.

Mr. Kohei Takahara...

How do you feel?

I didn't break it.

Noboru did.

Kohei... it's me. You know me, right?

Mr. Kohei Takahara.

Do you remember anything at all?

Relax and tell us please.

Noboru is...

Noboru is gone.

Noboru was...

washed down the river.

He's fine. Just temporary

memory confusion.

You're fine. Don't worry.

Mother? I wanna... go home.

Noboru.

You're okay. It's over.

Try sedatives.

Please stop!

Mrs. Takahara, please calm down.

This is too cruel.

Bringing back a memory he

tried so hard to forget is...

too much!

This man has suffered enough.

All of you...

are too cruel.

Leave my meal over there.

It's been a while, Doctor.

What is it?

I'd like your cooperation.

Too late for that. Get out.

Doctor, you're the one
