Visionaries

Mekata is featured in five Visionary cutscenes in the Game Boy Advance and iOS versions of the game.

In Photo Frame, Mekata decides to give Hiroko away to different parents as he will not be able to make any time for her as a researcher. He talks about how when his late wife fell ill, her treatment was delayed due to the reduced medical facilities that the Great Destruction caused, leading to her death. Not wanting anyone else to meet a similar fate, he switched to medical research, and then the Center started mobilizing scientists, who Mekata had no doubt were trying to accomplish something of a large magnitude. Knowing that it will take up all his time, he concludes that it would be better for Hiroko if she grew up in a family that lived in the Center. He wonders if he'll ever be able to tell Hiroko the truth someday, but tells himself that he won't as long as he lives.

In "Ebony wand", Mekata is in disbelief that he has met Hiroko again as part of the Messiah Project. Though at first, he believed that the Project would save people, Hiroko being used as the donor for the artificial insemination shakes his faith in the project massively, making him wonder if it is all God's doing that he is separated from her. As his doubts pile up, he finally decides to take action against it.

In "Cracked Flask", Mekata discusses the need for a fifth body for the project with the Bishop. Though Mekata warns him that the chances the fifth body survives accelerated growth is less than 100%, the Bishop dismisses his concerns and tells him that the body should be able to survive it no matter how fast they set it's growth rate. Mekata tries to convince him that more time is needed to ensure the body doesn't fail, but the Bishop responds by saying that if it does fail, they will simply move on to another body for the experiment. The Bishop justifies his attitude by saying that it is the body's duty to undergo the experiment, and even if they could not withstand the acceleration, their soul will surely be saved by God, and that as a scientist, Mekata has no need to be worrying about what happens to its soul. Mekata reluctantly concedes to his orders.

In "Broken PDA", Mekata receives a call from a young Hiroko using a dormitory phone, who eagerly tells him of a story she had heard that day about the Blessed Mother and the Messiah. Mekata says he must continue working, however, disappointing Hiroko and making her ask him when he will come to see her, with him hesitantly telling her he might be able to see her the next week. She sadly asks him to promise her that he will really see her then, to which he does, and then hangs up the call, leaving Mekata to contemplate if he is a failure of a father.

In "Piece of White Coat", Mekata speaks to Aleph as he is close to finishing his accelerated growth, relieved that he and the 4 other experiments were grown successfully, but implies there were other previous failures that should not have happened. He mentions that he is the body born from the body of his daughter and the core of the Messiah Project, as he is meant to be the faithful Messiah of the Center, though he laughs to himself at the irony of it all, as he secretly erased any sense of loyalty to the Center in him. As he is now unbound to the Center, Mekata wonders what will become of him in the future, as it is now his choice whether he aligns with the Center not, before he concludes that no one can know.
