Sin In The Name Of Life
Ring a bell for the lovin’. Just a hell for the livin’.
What kind of epilogue will the interpretation of the Laurants bring about?
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry Suzu…”
 
Y’know your cat’s got lots of complications
If “sorry”’s gonna cut it, we need no police in these nations
 
The numbers are high for its <blood urea nitrogen>[BUN]
The end is nigh with its <blood’s creatinine levels>[CRE]
 
Kidney failure out of the blue? (Yo! Yo!)
All to be expected, so true! (Hey! Hey!)
 
Surely you’ve seen the signs?
Take your sweet time thinking, that’s fine
 
(Are you for real?
Are pet hospitals supposed to shit on you like this?
But they’ve got a point…
I haven’t really paid much attention to her lately…
Forgive me…<my beloved cat>[Suzu]...)
 
Well, we can talk your ears off forever
But this world’s free of sickness, said no one ever
 
<Those kinds of cat diseases tend to combine>[Kidney diseases unite]
So <you gotta keep your eyes sharp, watch for the sign>
 
Immune indicator, <activated macrophages>
Overworked and overclocked, <immunoglobulin M>[IgM]
 
Then go home and scowl! ←
↑
Throwing in the towel?
 
→ Then it’s time to learn, so strap on tight!
↑
Fighting the good fight?
 
There’s no recovering…
From kidney failure…
Or so I’ve heard…
 
But…
Like gathering stardust…
Stopping this progression of decay…
 
May not be impossible…after all…
 
“By the way, Saruta Inuhiko.
Do you have what it takes to overcome law and morality
To protect what’s important to you?”
 
When I was a kid, they had an accident
My <father who was apparently a writer>
and
My <mother who was apparently an editor>
 
Truly a match made in heaven
Happily ever after <in their last drive together>
 
I don’t remember much
But that’s why
 
I was raised to be <a stupid brat that still treats the elderly well>[a granny’s boy]
But even <my grandma that I loved dearly despite my attitude>
Was sent <flying quite a distance because of a truck>
 
I was seeking an outlet for my pent up anger
And hung out with all the bad boys
 
And that’s how I met <Suwa Ruan Takeru>[him]
 
“Back then, he was a <dazzling figure>[hero] in my eyes…”
 
YO! Redhead, what’s up!?
If you’re still kicking, then heads up!
“Those men over there…are like, totally my type!”
 
Don’t put on such a gloomy face
Or even those <brainless whores trying to seduce you>[sluts] are gonna give you space
 
“Yes!
<The goods that get you high>[this one] is on me!”
“Damn, he looks like Kijihiko!”
*This is occuring in a <⛩️orizon> similar yet different to ours, and the Fantasy Band Sound Horizon neither recommends nor endorses illicit activities.
 
So you know how there’s
Two kidneys inside <a human body>?
“Why don’t you go hit ‘em up then?” “No way, no way no way no way!!”
Apparently you can get away with selling one, even!
 
Hey
<Delinquents who’ve strayed far from society’s rules>[scum] like us are suffocating
Under the blinding <law and justice>
 
We need <a moonlit paradise> where we can thrive
And I’ll be the one to make that happen!
 
“Don’t give me that face.
I may be a scum down to my bones,
But I ain’t your enemy!”
 
“Join me, <Inuhiko>.”
 
“Hey daddy, look! A kitty!”
“Oh, what a cute ca-”
“Look in front!!”
“Aaaaahhh!!”
 
To <prolong the life of my dear cat Suzu in a biological sense>
I lost another <number in my bankbook>[zero]
 
<Since losing our breadwinner bro in an accident>, we’re tight on money
And there’s only a single person <who is crazy enough to give me a big loan>[that I can count on]
 
Worse than any of the repeating nightmares
I’ve had as a child
 
This reality
Is a true nightmare
 
“Hey…
<My only remaining family>[Suzu]...”
 
I’m sure living is more painful than anything else…
And you’d rather die…
 
But we’re not allowed…
In this lukewarm hell…
 
[Living]...
 
Is all we can do
