Good morning!
It's 8:15 on November 5th!
Ms. Akane Tsunemori's Psycho-Pass Hue this morning is powder blue!
Have a wonderful day with that healthy mind of yours!
Ahh... I messed up...
My head is overflowing with thoughts I can't allow anyone to know about
I've strayed into a world void of even mistakes
It's being rubbed in so deep it's hard to believe
This "world" that holds only what the eye can see
Can I flush out the truth?
Plastic Tac Tic, no one can go crazy anymore
You, too, are in a plastic beautiful world
In a world with too much beauty, for some reason I can't see the light
My bursting heart is an eternal reflection
Secret remains for you
Don't expose these false colors and futures
fake's plastic world keep it secret motion
I'm not on the day shift today... right?
You're meeting up with Ms. Yuki Funahara and Ms. Kaori Minase
at Akebonobashi Station at 1100.
At 14:30, you start second shift duty at the Public Safety Bureau.
Oh, that's right...
What's your room preference today?
Victor Horta's Hotel Tassel.
Okay! I'll use the library as reference!
#02: Those Capable
Your dietary intake yesterday was a total of 2200 kilocalories.
The proper amount for today's breakfast is 240 kilocalories.
I'll have a 200-kilocalorie Chinese-flavored breakfast.
Certainly!
It was my very first day on the job...
Why'd I have to? Gimme a break...
Today's weather is cloudy followed by sunny skies.
The chance of precipitation is 0 percent.
The anticipated group stress in Shinjuku Ward is Level 3.
I recommend you take a supplement to prevent mental contamination.
I guess this is okay.
Well then, see you later.
Take care!
So... you messed up, huh?
Yeah... though since I work for the MWPSB,
I can't give you the details.
I don't know much about these things,
but what you did wasn't in violation of your duties, right?
Well, yeah.
Then, you don't have to worry about it, right?
Besides, your Psycho-Pass isn't that clouded, either.
Isn't it actually that you're not really bothered by it?
Oh, don't be mean! I couldn't sleep at all last night.
To think that the Hue Check shows a clear color for you
even when you were so distressed...
You don't give yourself much psychological care,
and yet, you're such a mental beauty.
How can you stay so healthy?
Well... I wonder if I'm thick-skinned...
God is really unfair.
Yep.
I-In any case... it's not that I doubt the Sibyl System,
but I wonder if a career at the Public Safety Bureau is really for me.
Argh! That's a problem you're lucky to have!
I know you're ditzy, but still, I can't believe you'd say that!
To start with, it was indicated that you have an aptitude for jobs
at the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Technology,
and yet, you rejected them all and picked the Public Safety Bureau, right?
I could only get C rankings.
What's the problem? You're good at blue-collar work.
I'm a systems engineer. I'm always having trouble with stiff shoulders.
Akane, you were an honor student who scored 700 points in the last exam.
Any job should be a piece of cake for you, right?
Sorry. We teased you too much.
But I think you're capable of pulling off that job.
It's not just because of the aptitude the System indicated.
My intuition as your friend says so, too.
"What needs to be done is done by those capable of doing it.
Such is the grace bestowed upon mankind by Sibyl."
Just kidding.
Excuse me! Is Analyst Shion Karanomori here?
Yeah, that's me. Who are you?
I'm Akane Tsunemori. I've been assigned to the CID as of yesterday!
Oh! You're the new Inspector who shot Shinya, aren't you?!
Wow... You're a lot cuter than I thought.
That cute face of yours hides how daring you can be, though.
What happened? Did Shinya grab your butt or something?
No. Well... I was told I should come to you to find out how Mr. Kogami is doing.
Oh, that.
While I do have a physician's license, can you believe the government would
actually delegate employee health care to the Analysis Lab just because of that?
Sure, I'm a latent criminal, too.
But that doesn't mean they can just slave drive me
as much as they want, right?
R-Right...
Let's see... Akane, was it?
If you're an Inspector, that means you're on the fast track at the MWPSB, right?
Hurry up and become a high-ranking official so you can reform the system.
You can start by furnishing a swimming pool and a bar lounge at the CID.
I'm counting on you!
Uhm, well... how's Mr. Kogami's treatment going?
Oh, that's right.
Well, you got a solid direct hit on his spinal cord,
so he isn't in good shape yet. Things like standing and talking are still...
Joining him in bed, of course, isn't possible, either.
If you just want to peek in on him, though, that'd be okay.
What do you wanna do?
W-Well, I don't want to bother him, then.
If he rests today, the aftereffects should go away.
Come back tomorrow morning.
Okay.
Hm?
Uhm...
Hm?
Excuse me, are there any other tablets?
Enforcer Kogami is using the spare equipment.
But, uhm... Mr. Kogami is...
...undergoing treatment after being shot by the Paralyzer.
Ow! Ouch...
Here...
Use this.
O-Okay.
Sorry for getting in late.
Oh? You're on duty tonight, young lady?
Ah, yes.
It must be tough after what happened yesterday.
Well, let's hope that it'll be a peaceful day today and...
This is an elevated Area Stress Level warning!
Inside Iko Gryce Hill in Adachi Ward,
a Psycho-Pass above the regulation value has been detected.
Inspector on duty, please go straight to the site with Enforcers immediately.
Just when we were talking about having a peaceful day...
Well, our shift just ended, so... good luck.
Would you like me to cover for Kogami?
Well, that won't be necessary.
Now, let's get going, Ms. Inspector.
What?!
Drones have been watching
the entrances to the mall since the warning was triggered.
They haven't caught anyone.
In other words, the very person who's raising the Area Stress is still in the mall.
Are we going to use Dominators?
We'll have them delivered to us as a precaution,
but we probably won't have to use them.
Well then, let's go, shall we?
Is this uncomfortable for you?
Your generation is used to playing with holo-suits on, right?
I feel a little uncomfortable with my whole body being an Avatar.
It's okay, so let me see.
Oh, stop it.
I won't stop it.
Oh, that guy is the one. On the right, he's hiding behind the front column.
But... how can you tell without even using a scanner?
A beast can sniff out another beast's smell.
Excuse me. Could we please measure your Psycho-Pass?
Whoa... It's cloudy.
My assessment is that you require emergency therapy.
Please come with me.
What? Why? I haven't done anything yet...
To think that you really can identify latent criminals...
You'll intuitively know at first glance when someone's up to no good.
Committing a crime or cracking down on one...
Either way, they're talents that deal with criminal behavior.
That's why my Crime Coefficient shows a crazy number.
Because of that, I'm now treated as a hunting dog who takes on dirty jobs.
I was... useless.
No, you were quite helpful.
Enforcers can't walk around outside without an accompanying Inspector.
But that's...
Like I said...
After you bring Enforcers to the site, all you need to do is watch them
so that they won't slack off, run away, or cause society trouble.
That's all you need to do.
In other words, you're telling me not to do anything, right?
Can I join you, Ms. Inspector?
Sure.
I thought you were already off duty today.
We, Enforcers, are prisoners, you know.
Even when we're off duty, there's nowhere else we can go
besides the CID floor and our quarters.
Well, sorry about earlier.
I just got carried away.
As you can see, all the women who work here are scary, so...
I'm so glad that a cute girl like you joined the CID, Akane.
Oh, can I call you Akane?
Yeah, sure.
At any rate, MWPSB Inspector? What a crazy place you chose to work for.
Why here?
Do you think I'm not suited for it?
After what happened yesterday, anyone would probably think that way.
Sibyl's Judgment of my job aptitude
exceeded the MWPSB's employment standards, so...
That's the thing I don't get.
If you passed the MWPSB's standards,
you must've gotten a good ranking for other places too, right?
Couldn't you pick a different job?
Yeah.
I got an A ranking for all thirteen ministries and agencies, and six companies.
What?! S-Seriously?
Yeah. But...
...for all the other jobs, there were at least one or two people besides me
that got the same ranking.
I was the only one who got an A ranking for the MWPSB.
There were more than 500 students and I was the only one.
So I thought that there must be some work that only I could do at the MWPSB.
If I went there, I thought I could find my real life...
I thought I should be able to find out why I was born here and now!
Do you think I'm wrong?
I don't know. What makes you think that someone like me would know?
You could've become anything.
You could've chosen any kind of life.
You even agonized over it, right?
That's incredible. You're just like those old people before Sibyl was created.
Nowadays, the Sibyl System reads your talent
and tells you the way of living that will bring you the most happiness.
And yet, you're talking about your real life? The reason you were born?
I never even thought there were people who stressed over things like that!
I was flagged in a Psycho-Pass test when I was five.
I've been a latent criminal ever since.
No possibility for rehabilitation through treatment. That's why I'm here now.
Becoming one of the MWPSB's hunting dogs and taking on assassination jobs
is better than spending my entire life in an isolation facility...
That was the only choice I had, so...
I wasn't going to be mean to you or anything,
but I changed my mind. So I'll ask you again.
Why did you become an Inspector?
I'm very sorry!
It's rare to see an Inspector who would apologize to an Enforcer.
I guess you're angry, right?
That was your decision. I have no right to complain.
Was my decision wrong?
Did I just stand in everyone's way and put them in danger?
I've been an Enforcer for a long time.
The hunting dogs' behavior of following orders to take down prey
with neither hesitation nor doubt is engrained in my hands.
Obeying what that gun said, I've shot many latent criminals.
It was for the best for this society.
I accepted such convenient logic without questioning it,
and at some point, I even stopped thinking about it.
I even forgot to look back and see what I was doing.
It's foolish.
Being a detective isn't about bringing someone down...
...rather, it should be about protecting someone.
Mr. Kogami...
You decided what was right on your own.
You were able to put justice before your duty.
Under a boss like that, I may be able to work as a detective, not just a dog.
Thank you very much!
It's also rare to see an Inspector who would thank an Enforcer.
If you had more time to think about it calmly,
you would've tried not to shoot her, too, right?
I don't know.
I didn't hesitate at the time. I thought I'd die if I hesitated.
I thought, "I don't want to die in a place like this.
I cannot die here no matter what!"
That one thought consumed me.
I have unfinished business to take care of.
There's something I have to settle no matter what!
Mr. Kogami!
So, you're saying that you made the right decision at the time?
Is that your conclusion, Inspector Tsunemori?
Yes. The rise of her Crime Coefficient was temporary.
In fact, the therapy she's receiving after being taken into custody is going well,
and her Psycho-Pass is recovering.
Kogami, is there anything you want to say?
No. Inspector Tsunemori fulfilled her duty.
That's all.
Looks like the fairy tale died a moment ago
In a hospital ward made of bricks, I found it hard to sing
Red moon, come out on this foggy night
Now look at me, don't avert your gaze
I was born behind black iron bars
Wish for payback for the evil done
As you wish, I'll give you your justice
Before you destroy and get destroyed
Pay karma's price, and let's go together
Monster without a name
A world where humans' state of mind and the tendency of their personalities can be quantified. While all sorts of inclinations are recorded and policed, these measured numbers used to judge people's souls are commonly called "Psycho-Pass." This story is fiction.
