Talk:Evanescent Existence/Story/Suzumi's Extra Scenario

This time? Next time?

Clause says "こんどは逃げられるとは思わないことだね！". Apparently, the point of contention here is the こんど, which Releska seems to think is meant to mean "next time" in this particular case? Even though Clause has chased down Suzumi for essentially a rematch at right this moment? こんど can apparently mean "next time", but I highly doubt that's the case here. For one, 次回 seems to be a word that could have been used to much more unambiguously mean "next time". For two, what next time? Clause pretty much just vanishes from the limelight after this instance and doesn't reappear until BPoHC.

tl;dr: After stage 6, Suzumi left Clause behind, who then caught up with her again halfway through the extra stage. I feel that "this time" is more appropriate than "next time" if you consider that the "previous time" would have been the stage 6 boss fight. ――Popfan ^{(talk/contribs)} 14:51, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

While I have no japanese knowledge, wouldn't "Don't believe you can get away from me once more!" (or once again) be a sentence that fits the bill with what you're saying?

Yeah, I think having it as "this time" instead of "next time" would fit the bill better. I'll have to wait for what Releska thinks, but it seems like the original line is the more accurate one. --Genny (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

That was my mistake - apologies for that. I looked over it again, and the previous interpretation makes more sense! I must have thought that line came /after/ Clause was defeated, when it clearly takes place /before/. I've swapped it back to the previous version! Releska (talk) 22:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
