SIGN    October 9th, Stellar Year 2149
[00:05] Willem
    We've started our advance again.
SIGN    Time since operation start
[00:08] Willem
    According to that boy
    with the strange powers,
[00:10] Willem
    the Morpho is stopped on the tracks
    in southern Legion-held territory.
[00:14] Willem
    The Federacy's main force,
    as well as the Alliance,
[00:17] Willem
    will advance and take the area
    around the tracks.
[00:20] Willem
    The United Kingdom will be working
    with another
[00:25] Willem
    smaller Federacy unit to take tracks
    on the north side.
[00:28] Richard
    So the United Kingdom volunteered
    to be a diversion?
[00:32] Richard
    But if the Federacy's main army advances,
    the Legion's not going to miss that.
[00:38] Richard
    What's our plan?
[00:39] Willem
    The Alliance is going to be using
    a prototype anti-radar weapon.
[00:45] Willem
    It disperses clouds of small
    metal particles into the air,
[00:48] Willem
    jamming communications among the Legion.
[00:52] Willem
    If they use everything they have,
    the hope is they can buy enough time
[00:55] Willem
    for the Legion to identify
    the United Kingdom's force as the big one.
[00:59] Richard
    They're going all-in.
[01:01] Richard
    The Legion learn fast,
[01:04] Richard
    so this kind of thing only works once.
[01:08] Willem
    If we lose this, it's over.
    What else could they do?
[01:12] Willem
    The Federacy's the same, right?
[01:14] Richard
    Everyone's forced to do
    whatever it takes, huh?
[02:55] Shin
    They're on the move.
[02:57] Raiden
    The Legion?
[02:58] Shin
    They fell for the diversion to the north.
[03:01] Raiden
    A double diversion, huh?
[03:03] Raiden
    The guys to the north
    and south are desperate, huh?
[03:07] Raiden
    That means the main force
    will finally move, too.
[03:10] Raiden
    We won't be that far after all.
[03:13] Shin
    The Federacy's main force
    will be doing an all-night march.
[03:17] Shin
    That should get them closer, but...
[03:21] Raiden
    True.
[03:23] Shin
    I don't care if they can't catch up, but...
[03:29] Raiden
    Shin. Take Frederica and go back.
[03:33] Shin
    Why?
[03:34] Raiden
    You know why.
[03:36] Raiden
    Somebody needs to get her past
    all those Legion without being found.
[03:40] Raiden
    Only you can do that.
[03:42] Shin
    And our pursuit?
[03:44] Raiden
    If he can move only on the train tracks,
[03:46] Raiden
    we can probably track him
    just talking through Para-RAID.
[03:49] Raiden
    Fortunately, unlike last time,
    somebody is making a big distraction for us.
[03:56] Shin
    You think the Legion will be forced
    to use all their forces
[03:58] Shin
    to deal with the diversion
    and the main unit?
[04:01] Shin
    You know from the last time we passed through
    Legion territory that fighting means instant death.
[04:07] Raiden
    It'd be better than having you lead us,
    the way you are now.
[04:11] Raiden
    You've always been crazy,
    but that last fight was too much.
[04:17] Raiden
    Something had control of you...
[04:19] Raiden
    I don't know if it's this ghost knight
    of Frederica's you've never met, but...
[04:23] Raiden
    What's gotten into you?
[04:25] Shin
    Nothing.
[04:27] Raiden
    You really think you can fool me
     that easily? Idiot.
[04:30] Shin
    Fool you?
[04:32] Raiden
    I'm afraid
    we've known each other a long time.
[04:34] Raiden
    I can see a few things
    you yourself can't.
[04:38] Raiden
    You're such a mess
    that you can barely stand.
[04:41] Raiden
    So you're back to where you were
    when we met?
[04:43] Raiden
    Never opening up to anyone...
[04:44] Raiden
    Like the name everyone calls you...
    The Reaper...
[04:48] Shin
    Then the rest of you
    can take her and go.
[04:52] Shin
    I'd rather follow it myself
    than take someone who'll slow me down.
[04:57] Raiden
    What?
[04:58] Shin
    If this is a one-way mission,
    it's better I go myself.
[05:01] Shin
    If you're intending to go home,
    there's no need to follow a path of no return.
[05:06] Raiden
    You...!
[05:13] Raiden
    Don't think you can keep everybody
     else alive by doing this.
[05:17] Raiden
    What do you mean, "one-way mission"?
[05:20] Raiden
    Don't talk like you're not coming back!
[05:23] Shin
    I'm not planning to die.
[05:25] Raiden
    Yeah, I bet.
[05:27] Raiden
    But you weren't planning
    on coming back alive, either!
[05:32] Raiden
    Why did you kill your brother?
[05:34] Raiden
    Wasn't it so you could keep going forward?
[05:37] Raiden
    You didn't survive all that
    just to kill your brother, did you?
[05:40] Raiden
    Don't misunderstand that!
[05:46] Shin
    Then...
[05:49] Shin
    Then why...
[05:53] Shin
    Why did I...
[06:04] Raiden
    I don't want to die.
[06:06] Raiden
    That's all.
[06:08] Raiden
    And I think that's enough.
[06:11] Raiden
    I'm pretty sure
    the others feel the same way.
[06:16] Raiden
    It's your path to walk. You decide.
[06:21] Raiden
    But...
[06:23] Raiden
    We're all traveling the same road together.
[06:25] Raiden
    If you're exhausted, we'll support you.
[06:28] Raiden
    If you're tired, rest!
[06:30] Raiden
    So...
[06:33] Raiden
    Don't try to fight on your own.
[06:45] Theo
    It kinda feels like I'm being left out...
[06:48] Theo
    Like I'm not being treated like a fellow guy.
[06:52] Anju
    They've known each other a long time.
[06:55] Anju
    Supposedly a lot happened
    before we met them.
[06:58] ---
    Is that how it is?
[07:01] Anju
    Stay put.
[07:03] Anju
    It's your fault for trying
    to run over and interrupt them.
[07:06] Frederica
    You were like a little dog!
[07:07] Theo
    Even if you did go, you'd just
    make things more complicated.
[07:13] Theo
    Stay put.
[07:16] Kurena
    That's not true!
[07:21] Theo
    What Raiden said about something
    having control of him is probably true.
[07:26] Theo
    Shin's been acting weird for a while.
[07:30] Theo
    Thinking back,
    he's been weird ever since then.
[07:34] Theo
    Before, he'd never do anything that meant
    certain death, or let anybody else do so.
[07:40] Kurena
    Shin is fine.
[07:42] Kurena
    He wouldn't leave us.
[07:44] Theo
    I think you should try
    to face Shin as he really is
[07:48] Theo
    and not just see him
    as an ideal in your head.
[07:51] Theo
    Shin's not going to be our
    personal Reaper forever, right?
[07:58] Theo
    You were always worried
    about that, right, Anju?
[08:01] Anju
    We're similar, after all.
[08:03] Anju
    I know a little about what a child feels
    when their family says they're not needed.
[08:10] Anju
    They wonder if it's their fault.
[08:13] Anju
    They might know in their head that it isn't,
    but they still blame themselves.
[08:20] Anju
    Especially since Shin wasn't just told...
    by his brother.
[08:27] Anju
    You can't get rid
    of things like that by yourself.
[08:32] Kurena
    Does that mean that our just being
    there for him isn't enough?
[08:37] Theo
    All we've been able to do is ask him
    to stay with us till we die.
[08:43] Theo
    We were just relying on him
    and intending to leave him someday.
[08:56] Theo
    Even though I'm sure that was the first time
    he said he'd go on ahead of us...
[09:02] Anju
    They said the Republic isn't responding
    to radio calls.
[09:07] Frederica
    Essentially, the country must have ceased to exist.
[09:10] Theo
    Probably.
[09:12] Theo
    So they were wiped out after all.
[09:15] Kurena
    The Major wasn't able
    to catch up with us, huh?
[09:24] Theo
    Just so you know, Kurena,
    this is your big chance.
[09:28] Theo
    They say when somebody's feeling depressed,
    it's easier to take advantage of them.
[09:31] Kurena
    Huh?
[09:32] Anju
    Just so you know, Theo,
    it's only bad girls who do that.
[09:36] Anju
    That wouldn't be right for Kurena.
[09:39] Theo
    I suppose that's true.
[09:44] Kurena
    No! I don't...
[09:48] Kurena
    Do you think Shin knows?
[09:53] Frederica
    I would say he's long-since realized,
[09:56] Frederica
    but thinks it's more of a childish
    admiration and possessiveness?
[10:01] Frederica
    He seems to think of you as a little sister
    who is particularly difficult to deal with.
[10:06] Frederica
    I don't think he sees you
    as a woman at all, to be honest.
[10:16] Theo
    Well... You're someone he can count on.
[10:16] Anju(Background)
    Frederica, there are some things
    you just shouldn't say!
[10:19] Theo
    That's enough, right?
[10:22] Kurena
    Y-Yeah.
[10:24] Kurena
    I'm a good sniper! I'm useful!
[10:40] Shin
    Don't worry.
    I'm not going to run off on my own.
[10:49] Shin
    I would feel better if I did, though.
[11:04] Willem
    General, it's time to wake up.
[11:11] Richard
    What are the Eighty-Six doing?
[11:14] Willem
    We were finally able
    to synchronize with them.
[11:17] Willem
    This Republic technology is very useful.
[11:21] Richard
    You've finally connected?
[11:23] Willem
    It routes through your consciousness.
[11:25] Willem
    If you're asleep, you can't be contacted.
SIGN    October 10th, Stellar Year 2149
[11:28] Willem
    I can't believe a five-man force is able
    to get any sleep so deep in enemy territory.
[11:35] Richard
    The battlefield is daily life for them, huh?
[11:39] Willem
    Where do you think they are now?
[11:42] Willem
    They're 120 kilometers west of the old border.
[11:45] Willem
    We could march all night and still not catch up.
[11:48] Willem
    It's a little frustrating.
[11:51] Richard
    I'm surprised.
[11:53] Richard
    I thought you wanted to ensure
    they didn't survive this battle.
[12:00] Willem
    You seem to misunderstand me.
[12:02] Willem
    I just think that a sharp blade
    should be put to good use.
[12:07] Willem
    If we can use that blade a long time,
    all the better.
[12:11] Willem
    We can't have the Legion taking them.
[12:16] Willem
    We need to get them back fast.
[12:20] Grethe
    We're starting our march before dawn.
[12:22] Grethe
    Y-You guys...
[12:24] Bernhart
    Roger. We're ready to go whenever.
[12:27] Bernhart
    We're not packing much equipment,
    as you can see.
[12:32] Grethe
    Are you worried about them, Sergeant?
[12:35] Bernhart
    I'll ask you the same question.
[12:38] Grethe
    We did all we could.
[12:40] Grethe
    Now we just have to believe.
[12:42] Bernhart
    You say that, but just in case, you've brought
    extra Reginleifs, ammo, spare parts,
[12:47] Bernhart
    along with a repair crew,
    all the way from the front lines.
[12:50] Bernhart
    You even forced the Chief of Staff
    to authorize their transport by air.
[12:56] Grethe
    And I suggested you go back
    to the front lines, and you refused.
[13:01] Bernhart
    What kind of man would I be if I did?
[13:04] Bernhart
    If the kids come back
    after catching their big centipede,
[13:07] Bernhart
    and all the old men are drinking,
[13:11] Bernhart
    they'd make fun of us
    till the day we died.
[13:16] Bernhart
    Those little brats would.
[13:29] Theo
    Not good.
[13:32] Anju
    Can you get it out, Theo?
[13:34] Theo
    I don't think so.
[13:37] Theo
    It's not moving at all.
[13:39] Theo
    I'm purging it.
[13:44] Raiden
    Laughing Fox was damaged, too, huh?
[13:47] Raiden
    We're taking more damage
     than expected.
[13:49] Kurena
    Anju and I got some shrapnel
    the other day.
[13:53] Kurena
    And when you were blasted back,
    you lost a machine gun.
[13:57] Raiden
    Only Undertaker's safe, huh?
[14:00] Raiden
    He's out of spare blades, though.
[14:02] Shin
    No, my engine hasn't been
    working right since yesterday.
[14:06] Shin
    I think I put too much stress on it
    during the first battle.
[14:09] Raiden
    You haven't fixed your bad habit
    of destroying your Reginleif's legs?
[14:14] Shin
    I think I can keep it patched up
    with repairs for a short while.
[14:16] Shin
    If nothing else,
    it's not so bad that I can't move.
[14:20] Raiden
    But if you put too much stress on it,
    it'll break.
[14:23] Raiden
    Don't get too crazy.
[14:25] Shin
    Given the amount of ammo
    and energy packs we have on hand,
[14:28] Shin
    tomorrow will be the last day
    of our pursuit.
[14:30] Shin
    We'll probably catch up to it
    before that,
[14:33] Shin
    but it would be a good idea
    to ensure we last until then.
[14:37] Raiden
    Until we catch up to it, huh?
[14:40] Raiden
    Roger.
[15:25] Frederica
    It's like the sea...
[15:29] Frederica
    Have any of you seen the sea?
[15:33] Kurena
    I don't think I have.
[15:36] Anju
    I thought I saw it once on a transport
    between combat districts,
[15:39] Anju
    but looking back, I may have been wrong.
[15:42] Theo
    Not the sea, but there was a big lake near me.
    I'd go there to play a lot.
[15:47] Raiden
    My elementary school had a field trip
    to take kids to the ocean.
[15:50] Raiden
    But the war started first.
[15:53] Frederica
    Me, neither.
[15:55] Frederica
    I've never seen anything like this before.
[15:58] Frederica
    There's so much I don't know.
[16:07] Frederica
    I want to go see the ocean.
[16:09] Frederica
    I want to go swimming!
[16:12] Frederica
    I'm sure it's a lot of fun!
[16:14] Kurena
    The sea, huh?
[16:16] Kurena
    Yeah, that might be fun!
[16:18] Theo
    How about a tropical island?
[16:21] Theo
    Coral, coconut trees, white beaches.
[16:25] Anju
    I'd love to see a sea of ice
    in the north, too!
[16:29] Anju
    They say when it's really cold,
    you can walk across it!
[16:33] Kurena
    Wow!
[16:34] Raiden
    Where'd you hear that?
[16:36] Anju
    I saw it in a pamphlet
    for a travel company.
[16:43] Kurena
    Let's go!
[16:45] Kurena
    All of us, when the war's over!
[17:08] Shin
    Fido.
[17:10] Shin
    I ordered you to switch to standby mode
    until I wake you up tomorrow.
[17:18] Shin
    Fine. If that's what you want to do.
[17:22] Frederica
    I thought it was weird
    to hear you talking so much.
[17:24] Frederica
    It's cause you're talking to Fido, huh?
[17:37] Shin
    What is it?
[17:39] Frederica
    I felt that I understood you a little today.
[17:45] Frederica
    I looked at the scenery the whole time.
[17:49] Frederica
    It was so beautiful.
[17:51] Frederica
    If you've lived your whole lives
    surrounded by that scenery,
[17:53] Frederica
    then I felt that
    maybe I could understand the reason.
[17:57] Frederica
    The reason you're so disinterested
    in humanity's survival, and your own lives.
[18:06] Frederica
    That beauty exists only because
     there are no humans here.
[18:11] Frederica
    Maybe that scenery is what the Legion want.
[18:16] Shin
    I don't know.
[18:18] Shin
    They may not want anything.
[18:23] Shin
    They're ghosts.
[18:25] Shin
    Ghosts aren't supposed to want anything.
[18:29] Frederica
    How do you know?
[18:31] Shin
    Because I'm the same.
[18:36] Shin
    That night, I failed to die.
[18:38] Shin
    And I think I'm still dead.
[18:41] Shin
    Ever since then,
    I haven't been able to want anything.
[18:48] Shin
    I don't want to see the sea.
[18:53] Shin
    I don't have anything I want to do
    or any place where I want to go.
[18:57] Shin
    It doesn't really cause me any problems,
[19:00] Shin
    but I kind of understand now
[19:01] Shin
    that not even being able
    to have something small you want to do—
[19:05] Shin
    like our conversation at dusk—is bizarre.
[19:08] Frederica
    But last fall was fun, wasn't it?
[19:13] Frederica
    When you left the eighty-six districts.
[19:15] Frederica
    It was the first time you were able
    to decide everything for yourself—
[19:18] Frederica
    the first time you had freedom, right?
[19:23] Shin
    It was fun.
[19:25] Shin
    Because I thought it would be over soon.
[19:28] Shin
    I thought we'd die without anyone
    ever knowing what happened to us.
[19:31] Shin
    But we survived, unfortunately...
[19:34] Shin
    I was supposed to die.
[19:37] Shin
    The future is too long
    for someone like me.
[19:43] Shin
    I'm not your knight.
[19:47] Shin
    I knew that, but...
[19:49] Shin
    I'm sorry for using your knight
    as an excuse.
[19:54] Shin
    I'm still going to go as far as I can.
[19:58] Shin
    But my brother isn't there anymore.
[20:01] Shin
    So I wanted another goal
    that would take his place for a while.
[20:06] Frederica
    I don't think that's all.
[20:09] Frederica
    You should be aware that you're looking
    in the mirror the wrong way.
[20:15] Frederica
    You're not nearly as cold
    as you think you are.
[20:19] Frederica
    You're a softie, Reaper.
[20:22] Frederica
    If nothing else, I can release Kiri
    because you agreed to help me.
[20:29] Frederica
    It was so sad, seeing him crying and
    trapped deep within the battlefield.
[20:34] Frederica
    I wanted to free him.
[20:36] Frederica
    I wanted to be freed from being forced
    to see his misery.
[20:41] Frederica
    But...
[20:44] Frederica
    I'm scared of Kiri dying.
[20:49] Frederica
    I'm terrified of losing him.
[20:55] Frederica
    The Federacy doesn't need a child like me.
[20:58] Frederica
    It's a republic now.
[21:00] Frederica
    Just by being alive,
    I could potentially start a war.
[21:04] Frederica
    It's better for everyone if I'm not here.
[21:08] Frederica
    But I thought I had to stay alive
    to put an end to my knight's life.
[21:15] Frederica
    But when Kiri dies,
    that excuse will cease to exist.
[21:20] Frederica
    And that scares me.
[21:24] Frederica
    The reason you're terrified
    of going forward right now
[21:28] Frederica
    is that you tried to see the future
    for what it is!
[21:32] Frederica
    Because you tried to look directly
    at the dark, untrodden path before you!
[21:35] Shin
    No.
[21:37] Frederica
    It's nothing to be ashamed of,
[21:40] Frederica
    and while you're doing it, at least,
    you let those who are with you support you.
[21:44] Frederica
    That's what companions are for.
    That's why people come together.
[21:51] Shin
    Raiden said the same thing.
[21:54] Frederica
    Then just admit he was right—
[21:56] Shin
    I'm not like them.
[21:59] Shin
    Not having any wishes is the same
    as not wanting to be alive.
