After Roji is placed on suspension by Muhyo, he is sent to the Association with Imai to try to sort things out for himself. Dejected about not being able to join in with helping Rio, Roji recounts for Imai the first time he ever met Muhyo.
My talismans weakened it
quite a bit first, though.
Mein Zauber hatte den Geist
schon ziemlich geschwächt.
Mes talismans l’avaient pas mal amoché.
Il mio talismano però 
lo aveva già indebolito.
Спасибо моим талисманам,
что ослабили духа.
