"What do you mean?" Satori spoke up, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Exactly what I said. I have realized that there is a way to stop these bleeds-"
Satori cuts dekisugi off. "The information about bleeds were confidential. How does someone unaffiliated with time patrol know about this?"
Dekisugi flinches, then looks away. "That's not... What matters right now, no? My friend is in danger. I should help him immediately."
Satori stares at dekisugi, noticing the fidgeting, the forced smile and the nervous eyes. He folds his hands, not loosening up.
"Nobita nobi, might have been your childhood friend but from our records in current times, your family hardly has any connection to theirs."
"That's just because we're both busy in our lives, you know?" Dekisugi steps up, throwing his hands out to explain.
"True. That indeed is natural. What's unnatural is obviously, the fact that you'll suddenly figure about an secret ongoing problem, an near catastrophic level problem, at that and immediately come to an rival company's operation centre and claim you know how to deal with it, no?"
Dekisugi opens his mouth, then it remains open with no sound.
Satori just stands there, hands crossed in suspicion.
"Hey, wasting any more time will probably worsen things, no?! I'll explain unimportant stuff later!" Dekisugi shouts at Satori.
Satori keeps standing, his gaze getting colder.
"Tch.." Then he scoffs, turning toward the monitor. "I'll require a real good explaination once we figure out what's happening and solve it."
Dekisugi sighs, then steps closer. Passing by the workers on their screens, looking at him in suspicion and worry.
"Ahem. Well, as you said earlier, this is a self-sustaining causality trap. Yes." Dekisugi states.
"I know that. The problem is we can't even find, let alone contact with Nobita nobi. Even if it was a trap, it's not that big of a deal. But if we can't find him, it might get messy." Satori turned to Dekisugi "does your plan requires us to use the revival treatment?"
"That's... Not something I'll recommend." Dekisugi speaks, putting a hand behind his head and scratching it. "It'll be complicating things more and will probably cause another paradox, the unresolvable ones, if he's still alive. Which I'd love to believe he is."
"I see. Then what plan do you have?" Satori looked back at the blank holographic screen.
"I think we should focus on the root cause and get rid of that first."
"Well, surprise for you, It's Nobita." Satori speaks, his voice dry and eyes tired.
"No it's not." Dekisugi speaks immediately.
"Huh?"
"I said, Nobita is not the prime culprit for the complete time leaks stuff." Dekisugi's voice lowers, as he continues. "In fact, he might not be second in line for the problem."
"What do you mean?" Satori tenses up. "Seriously, what do you even know?"
Dekisugi ignores satori and looks up. "In our childhood, with Doraemon, we used to do all sort of things with devices that contradict with causality and more tools. Yet nothing of such scale ever occurred."
"Don't you know, why? A controlled vaccum space-"
"-Has its territorial physics laws altered under surveillance and an important anchor. Namely, doraemon."Dekisugi completes Satori's sentence.
"Exactly, and Nobita nobi messed with the timeline in an absence of those Anchor. Using his timebelt in a mirror dimension to cause a paradox."
"Mr Satori, are you hearing yourself?" Dekisugi smiles, looking at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You are blaming Nobita for using a tool in an non surveillance vaccum bubble. No?"
"Yes exactly." Satori tilts his head.
"But, that means everything was normal before he used time belt."
"Obviously. The bleeds only started after that."
Dekisugi turned completely towards Satori, then narrowed his eyes. "When I was 18, I remember something unordinary occurring outside my house."
Satori also stands face to face with Dekisugi and listens.
"It was during the time my memories were wiped, obviously so it scared me a lot. I was studying in my room, as I looked outside the window." Dekisugi looks at the screen.
" I had returned to Japan for some personal errands.And there he was, Nobita flying in the sky. Following behind an overgrown, almost human Bird like creature."
"Oh.. " Satori's lips slip out, as he realizes what crow he was talking about.
"Until I regained my memories few years back, and we all remembered our past with Nobita, I always used to wonder If I was hallucinating."
"I see. But why does this matter now?" Satori asks.
"Because once I remembered my memories, it made... Even less sense."
"What?"
"How could Nobita fly that day?"
"Obviously, using the copter to follow him?"
"Mr satori, do you realize what you're claiming?"
"Yes. Why is it... So hard...." Satori pauses, as the realization settles in.
"We already established A control vaccum bubble requires an Anchor." Dekisugi speaks "Then, how come... Did the mirror dimension and all gadgets function. If Doraemon was absent."
Satori's eyes widen, and he stares at the screen. "That means..."
"Yes. That means, The leaks began even before Nobita's interference. In fact, the mirror dimension in itself, was one leak."
Satori flinches at Dekisugi's words. Then he looked back as he heard footsteps.
Behind them Voss stood, her face pale and eyes trembling. "Mr Satori. We have a problem!"
Satori looks at her face, unable to say anything.
"We are losing connections to all personnel in every leak at an increasing rate!"
