[00:24] ---
    I'm home. Oh?
[00:27] ---
    Mikoto, what are you crying about?
[00:34] ---
    Oh, my.
[00:37] ---
    Mm-hmm, it's going to be all right.
[00:39] ---
    Really?
[00:40] ---
    If you're a good girl,
    Mikoto, it's sure to be fixed.
[00:43] ---
    For real? By any chance,
[00:46] ---
    is Santa going to come make it better?
[00:49] ---
    Santa? But it's the spring.
[00:53] ---
    Mm-hmm, sure. The old fellow
    is one of my friends, so I'll ask him.
[00:58] ---
    He's your friend?!
[01:00] ---
    You betcha.
[01:02] ---
    So you just go off to sleep, now, okay?
[01:05] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[01:28] ---
    There, finished.
[01:30] ---
    Mama! Mama!
[01:33] ---
    Mama!
[01:34] ---
    Look! Look! See?
[01:34] ---
    Whoa!
[01:36] ---
    It's all better!
[01:37] ---
    Mm-hmm, good for you, huh?
[01:38] ---
    Whenever I would cry as a child,
[01:40] ---
    Mama would take care
    of everything while I slept.
[01:46] ---
    If only the experiment,
    and the events of that day,
[01:49] ---
    could all just be a bad dream,
[01:52] ---
    that would be gone...
    once I opened my eyes...
[02:01] ---
    Good morning to you, Sissy!
[02:03] ---
    Now to enjoy this blissful feeling,
    until I get slugged!
[02:09] ---
    Mm-hmm, morning.
[02:17] ---
    It's a nice day today, huh?
[02:20] ---
    But reality isn't so forgiving.
[02:22] ---
    Mama isn't here to
    solve every little problem.
[02:26] ---
    And it's not like praying
    to God will work any miracles.
[02:32] ---
    Nor are there any heroes that
    will come dashing in.
[02:37] ---
    Are you going out again today?
[02:41] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[02:42] ---
    But my business
    will be over after today.
[02:45] ---
    Eh?
[02:50] ---
    Today...
[03:01] ---
    I have to put an end to things myself.
[03:18] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[03:22] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[03:25] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together
[03:35] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[03:42] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[03:48] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day
[03:52] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[03:55] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[03:58] ---
    more precious than anything else
[04:03] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)
[04:07] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)
[04:10] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[04:14] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[04:17] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[04:20] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[04:23] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt
[04:30] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[04:39] ---
    It's just about time.
[04:45] ---
    Guys,
[04:47] ---
    I hope you don't
    give me any weird looks,
[04:50] ---
    just because you were my friends.
[04:57] ---
    "Tree Diagram's Final Word"
[05:00] ---
    Tree Diagram...
[05:02] ---
    The world's greatest supercomputer,
[05:05] ---
    loaded aboard the satellite Orihime I
[05:07] ---
    and launched by Academy City
    under the pretense
[05:10] ---
    that it would be analyzing climate data.
[05:13] ---
    Once a month,
[05:14] ---
    it projects the movement of all
    the particles in earth's atmosphere,
[05:18] ---
    calculates the weather
    for the whole month at once,
[05:21] ---
    and on all other days,
    it is used for calculations
[05:24] ---
    on all sorts of other
    Academy City research.
[05:26] ---
    "How to shift an absolute esper"
[05:26] ---
    "to Level 6 through the use of Sisters."
    Also...
[05:29] ---
    ...it is the absolute simulator
    that directed the creation
[05:33] ---
    and slaughter of 20,000 clones.
[05:38] ---
    Hey, there!
[05:40] ---
    Are you on your way
    home from remedial lessons, too,
[05:42] ---
    middle-school Zapper?
[05:43] ---
    Oh, it's you. It's not "Zapper,"
    it's Misaka Mikoto.
[05:48] ---
    I'm tired today,
    and I'd like to save my strength,
[05:52] ---
    so I'll skip the part where I zap you.
[05:54] ---
    Now you're the one
    saying "zap," aren't you?
[05:56] ---
    Never mind that,
    is your sister not with you today?
[06:00] ---
    Huh?
[06:01] ---
    Since she helped carry
    my drinks home yesterday,
[06:03] ---
    I wanted to thank her, or whatever.
[06:04] ---
    You mean, you saw her again?!
[06:07] ---
    Huh? Well, yeah.
[06:10] ---
    Why?
[06:11] ---
    Why, you ask? It just happened,
    it just happened. Oh!
[06:15] ---
    It's going to be sunny again tomorrow!
[06:20] ---
    I sure do hate those airships, you know?
[06:23] ---
    Huh?
[06:24] ---
    Why's that?
[06:28] ---
    Because the machine sets the policy,
[06:31] ---
    and the humans follow it.
[06:34] ---
    Which is why...
[06:36] ---
    ...to make sure it doesn't
    give any more crazy directives...
[06:39] ---
    in addition to tampering
    with the project...
[06:41] ---
    Huh? Hey...
[06:42] ---
    I'll destroy it!
[06:49] ---
    What is the deal with her,
    for crying out loud?
[06:53] ---
    What's she so wound up about?
[06:59] ---
    Eh?
[07:00] ---
    Zapper?
[07:02] ---
    Weren't you just over...
[07:06] ---
    "Since there are no grounds for
    you to call me 'Zapper,'
[07:09] ---
    this cat must be designated 'Zapper,'"
    presumes Misaka.
[07:14] ---
    You're her sister, huh?
    Without the goggles,
[07:17] ---
    there really is no way to tell you apart.
[07:21] ---
    By the way,
    thanks for those drinks yesterday.
[07:24] ---
    "Your words of gratitude were
    not my objective,"
[07:26] ---
    replies Misaka.
[07:29] ---
    "The reason I took the goggles off
[07:31] ---
    is that I was only following
    previous encounters,
[07:33] ---
    since cats characteristically
    dislike bright things like lenses,"
[07:37] ---
    explains Misaka.
[07:40] ---
    Cats are like that, huh? So then,
    why did you put them back on?
[07:44] ---
    "Because it was no longer necessary
    to have them off," explains Misaka.
[07:49] ---
    Oh, then you already fed him.
[07:53] ---
    No, I have not.
[07:54] ---
    Huh? Then why did you put them back on?
[08:01] ---
    Well?
[08:03] ---
    "It is not really anything to speak of,"
[08:06] ---
    says Misaka, refusing explanation.
[08:09] ---
    Huh? Ah, what is it? By any chance,
[08:13] ---
    did you not want to be seen like this?
[08:16] ---
    It is not that, exactly.
[08:19] ---
    Then, what is it?
[08:23] ---
    Hey...
[08:25] ---
    "I refuse to explain,"
    declares Misaka once again.
[08:31] ---
    Okay, fine. See you later.
[08:34] ---
    "Just a moment," says Misaka,
    prompting you to remain still.
[08:38] ---
    Then tell me, what's going on?
[08:40] ---
    "Listen to me. There is a cat here.
[08:44] ---
    What do you think you are doing,
    walking away thoughtlessly
[08:47] ---
    from this hungry black cat," asks Misaka.
[08:51] ---
    I'm telling you,
[08:53] ---
    go ahead and give him
    some of your snack cakes.
[08:56] ---
    "It is impossible for Misaka
    to give food to this cat,"
[09:00] ---
    reasons Misaka.
[09:02] ---
    "That's because Misaka has
    one critical defect,"
[09:05] ---
    she additionally explains.
[09:07] ---
    Defect? Hey, don't put it like that.
[09:10] ---
    "No, 'defect' is appropriate.
[09:12] ---
    Misaka's body constantly emits
    a weak magnetic field around it,"
[09:16] ---
    explains Misaka.
[09:18] ---
    It is not strong enough
    for people to detect,
[09:20] ---
    but it's another matter
    for other animals.
[09:24] ---
    In other words, Misaka's sister,
    because of your magnetic field,
[09:27] ---
    animals tend not to like you, is that it?
[09:29] ---
    "It is not that they do not like me.
[09:32] ---
    They find it hard to deal with me,"
    Misaka says by way of correction.
[09:37] ---
    Then, let me have them.
    It's okay if I feed him--
[09:41] ---
    "It is not that. Why do
    you not think of taking him in,"
[09:45] ---
    she inquires once again.
[09:46] ---
    "Do you know how animals taken
    in by the Health Department
[09:50] ---
    are treated," asks Misaka,
    readying an illustrative tale.
[09:54] ---
    First, the animals are placed
    inside a polycarbonate case.
[09:59] ---
    Then, 20 ml of ASD-10 are--
[10:01] ---
    Stop!
[10:02] ---
    Stop rattling off such
    disturbing talk like that!
[10:05] ---
    If that's how you feel,
    then you take him in.
[10:08] ---
    "It is not possible for
    Misaka to raise this cat,"
[10:12] ---
    she answers honestly.
[10:14] ---
    "In addition to the critical
    defect mentioned earlier,
[10:16] ---
    Misaka's living space is
    somewhat different
[10:19] ---
    from your living arrangements,"
    says Misaka, stating her reason.
[10:24] ---
    Yeah, but...
[10:31] ---
    Okay, okay.
[10:36] ---
    All right.
[10:44] ---
    "Tree Diagram's Latest Word"
[10:48] ---
    You've got pain running through
    your chest, huh?
[10:51] ---
    There's nothing especially
    out of the ordinary here.
[10:54] ---
    10031's turn is coming up tomorrow.
[10:57] ---
    We can't have anything
    impeding the experiment, can we?
[11:00] ---
    You're right.
    Shall we keep looking harder?
[11:03] ---
    "No,
[11:04] ---
    it is not something that
    will affect the experiment,"
[11:07] ---
    says Misaka,
    offering her self-analysis.
[11:10] ---
    Well, since I don't
    actually see anything amiss,
[11:12] ---
    if you say so, that's good enough.
[11:17] ---
    Um...
[11:19] ---
    "Supposing your own clone were
    to appear before your eyes,
[11:22] ---
    what kinds of feelings would
    you experience," inquires Misaka.
[11:27] ---
    A clone of myself?!
    I'm afraid I wouldn't want that.
[11:30] ---
    Oh, no? It would
    be handy, wouldn't it?
[11:32] ---
    Huh?! Please, just imagine
    a living copy of yourself,
[11:35] ---
    standing in front of you!
[11:37] ---
    It would talk to you in your own voice!
[11:40] ---
    Just thinking about
    it gives me goose bumps!
[11:43] ---
    Well, when you put it like that,
    it would be creepy, huh?
[11:49] ---
    Stop appearing before me...
[11:51] ---
    sounding like that,
    and looking like that!
[11:56] ---
    To Sissy,
[11:57] ---
    Misaka is someone
    she wants nothing to do with.
[12:03] ---
    We offer you our sincerest
    thanks for choosing to ride
[12:07] ---
    the Academy City Tour Bus today.
[12:09] ---
    The bus has just
    entered School District 23,
[12:12] ---
    which is the space
    exploration area of the city.
[12:15] ---
    Within the space exploration area,
    as the name suggests,
[12:18] ---
    are gathered many facilities
    specializing in the space industry,
[12:21] ---
    including the Academy City
    Space Exploration Center,
[12:24] ---
    which has its own rocket launch site.
[12:26] ---
    The building you see on your left side
[12:28] ---
    is the data center for the
    world's greatest supercomputer,
[12:30] ---
    Tree Diagram, where data
    exchange is carried out,
[12:34] ---
    and every day, using that data,
    weather forecasts and...
[12:41] ---
    "No Admittance"
[12:45] ---
    It's unusual,
    getting a student at this hour.
[12:49] ---
    Yes... There's something
    I need to check out
[12:52] ---
    for a summer vacation report I'm doing.
[12:54] ---
    Aren't you the studious one?
[12:56] ---
    Or so I'd like to say, but at this point,
[12:58] ---
    aren't you rushing
    this at the last minute?
[13:02] ---
    The sun is already
    getting close to setting,
[13:04] ---
    so under no circumstances
    should you go near the fence.
[13:07] ---
    You'll be surrounded by security robots.
[13:10] ---
    Right...
[13:11] ---
    I'll be careful.
[13:20] ---
    The data center--
[13:21] ---
    the only contact point that carries out
[13:24] ---
    communications with Tree Diagram.
[13:26] ---
    From there, I'll hack in,
    and make it give a false prediction.
[13:30] ---
    Yeah, like...
[13:32] ---
    "Have observed a critical
    error in Project Level 6 Shift,
[13:35] ---
    which is currently in progress.
[13:37] ---
    The error arose as a result of
    Accelerator and Railgun
[13:41] ---
    engaging in battle,
    and is irreparable. Hence,
[13:45] ---
    Accelerator's transition to
    level 6 is impossible."
[13:49] ---
    The researchers, who have put all
    their eggs in Tree Diagram's basket,
[13:53] ---
    will be thrown into a panic.
[13:57] ---
    Of course, if they seek a recalculation,
[14:00] ---
    they will realize that it was a mistake.
[14:04] ---
    Ultimately, they'll catch
    on to the trick sooner or later.
[14:07] ---
    However,
[14:08] ---
    before they do,
[14:10] ---
    I'll drive the project
    itself into bankruptcy!
[14:10] ---
    "#12 Tree Diagram"
[14:20] ---
    Geez, all you had to do
    was give it up in the first place.
[14:23] ---
    Th-That's...
[14:24] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[14:27] ---
    Tch, that's all you've got?
[14:35] ---
    Good grief, you sure are unlucky, too, huh?
[14:40] ---
    "Why is he still meowing," inquires Misaka.
[14:44] ---
    He's angry because he's still hungry.
[14:46] ---
    Angry?
[14:48] ---
    I told you to try to feed him, too.
[14:50] ---
    As I said, it is not
    possible for me to feed him--
[14:53] ---
    Here, just do it.
[15:06] ---
    You see? He's eating, all right.
[15:13] ---
    Is he upset?
[15:15] ---
    No, he seems delighted, doesn't he?
[15:18] ---
    Delighted?
[15:25] ---
    Oh yeah, you have to name him.
[15:28] ---
    Name? Is it not Zapper?
[15:31] ---
    No, it's not. He's your cat, right?
[15:34] ---
    You have to give him
    whatever name you like.
[15:37] ---
    Misaka's...
[15:41] ---
    "Dog."
[15:41] ---
    Huh?
[15:42] ---
    The black cat is "Dog,"
    as named by Misaka.
[15:46] ---
    He is a cat, and yet, "Dog."
[15:49] ---
    Now, listen, can't you make it
    something more serious?
[15:53] ---
    Something a little more dignified?
[15:55] ---
    "Okay, 'Tokugawa Ieyasu,'"
    reconsiders Misaka.
[15:59] ---
    That's too dignified.
[16:00] ---
    Then, "Schrödinger."
[16:02] ---
    Quit messing around.
[16:03] ---
    I know it's just an analogy,
    but any professor
[16:06] ---
    that would gleefully talk
    about sticking a cat inside a box
[16:08] ---
    that shoots out poison gas
    is not one who likes cats, right?
[16:13] ---
    Then, I shall put it on hold for now.
[16:16] ---
    On hold.
[16:19] ---
    You know, if this pattern holds,
[16:21] ---
    "On Hold" is going to
    end up being his name.
[16:26] ---
    "By the way,
[16:27] ---
    where are you going?
    This route is different
[16:30] ---
    from the one I took yesterday
    carrying your drinks,"
[16:33] ---
    Misaka points out.
[16:35] ---
    A little detour.
    There's a book that I want to get.
[16:38] ---
    "Is it the shopping
    district you're going to,"
[16:41] ---
    asks Misaka. Geographically speaking,
[16:45] ---
    turning right at the last
    intersection is a shorter route.
[16:48] ---
    Nope, not there;
    a used book store past there.
[16:52] ---
    There aren't any newer or
    older ways to raise a cat, right?
[16:56] ---
    "Do you want a book
    on how to take care of cats,"
[16:59] ---
    Misaka asks, seeking confirmation.
[17:02] ---
    I'd say more knowledge than a book.
[17:04] ---
    If it were just me, I'd be fine,
[17:05] ---
    but you were at my place, right?
[17:07] ---
    You saw the nun's habit and the
    priestess's robes, right? It's them.
[17:11] ---
    "In other words, you mean you're
    going to foist caring for the cat
[17:14] ---
    onto someone else," inquires Misaka.
[17:18] ---
    No, that's not what I'm saying.
[17:22] ---
    Huh? Are you angry?
[17:24] ---
    "No, I am not angry.
[17:25] ---
    I will just have you charged
    with destruction of property
[17:29] ---
    if you treat the cat's
    life with a lack of care,"
[17:31] ---
    says Misaka as a warning.
[17:33] ---
    I knew it, you are angry.
[17:35] ---
    I am not angry.
[17:41] ---
    Well, I'm going on in. Wait here for me.
[17:44] ---
    "Understood," acknowledges Misaka.
[17:47] ---
    I know there's a hidden meaning there.
[17:50] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
[17:51] ---
    is it okay for me to be going
    into the store carrying a cat?
[17:55] ---
    I do not mean to sound
    like I'm endlessly lecturing,
[17:58] ---
    but please refrain from giving him to me--
[18:00] ---
    Take this! Kitty Bomb!
[18:05] ---
    You say he doesn't like
    you because of your body?
[18:07] ---
    Then getting over that very barrier
[18:09] ---
    is what will bring
    about true friendship, right?
[18:14] ---
    "My goodness, what nerve he has,
[18:17] ---
    thinking it is okay to just toss a kitten,"
[18:20] ---
    Misaka whispers to herself.
[18:25] ---
    Are you angry?
[18:29] ---
    Or are you... delighted?
[18:41] ---
    We were out of line...
[18:42] ---
    So please, no more--
[18:46] ---
    Hey, now, you were the ones who started it,
[18:49] ---
    so do you think just
    apologizing will get you off?
[18:53] ---
    It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
[18:56] ---
    Why don't you take--
[19:02] ---
    Geez, and there are wind-up dolls
    that will bear their responsibilities
[19:06] ---
    without a single whimper, too.
[19:09] ---
    S-Stay back!
[19:11] ---
    At least try to help me work up
    my appetite for supper, will you?
[19:19] ---
    Aww, come to think of it,
    it's just about time for that, huh?
[19:25] ---
    I guess you get to live.
[19:35] ---
    "Thank you for waiting.
[19:38] ---
    Your next partner for the
    experiment is me, Misaka 10031,"
[19:43] ---
    reports Misaka.
[19:44] ---
    Huh? Tch, oh.
[19:46] ---
    See, this is why you
    guys are so confusing.
[19:51] ---
    Should I apologize for
    your having been confused?
[19:55] ---
    I don't need to be apologized
    to from someone who's about to die.
[20:02] ---
    Confirmed.
[20:04] ---
    10031 and 10032
    are about to embark upon
[20:08] ---
    the predetermined action.
[20:24] ---
    This is strange.
    There isn't a hint of anyone here.
[20:27] ---
    If the sensors weren't working,
[20:30] ---
    then the cameras probably aren't, either.
[20:37] ---
    This is the all-important facility,
[20:39] ---
    which can communicate
    with Academy City's brain.
[20:46] ---
    And yet,
[20:47] ---
    they only put up a
    thin facade of security,
[20:49] ---
    while I'm moving through
    inside unimpeded, aren't I?
[20:52] ---
    Have they fled? Or is this a trap?
[20:55] ---
    Whatever the case,
    there should be more to it than this.
[20:59] ---
    There's no benefit for them
    to let me set foot in here, too.
[21:09] ---
    Are they blowing me off,
    saying that hacking them is impossible?
[21:16] ---
    Even the control room is empty?
[21:20] ---
    The facility's functions are operating.
[21:23] ---
    But...
[21:26] ---
    This didn't just happen.
    There's no question that this facility
[21:30] ---
    has been abandoned for some time.
[21:33] ---
    But why?
[21:35] ---
    I can't help but wonder,
    now that I'm here.
[21:38] ---
    In any case, I'll do what
    I came here for, and... Is this it?
[21:42] ---
    "Number of transmissions: 0"
[21:44] ---
    What does that mean?
[21:46] ---
    Number of transmissions today: 0?
[21:48] ---
    But there should
    be several hundred requests
[21:50] ---
    to Tree Diagram each day.
[21:54] ---
    No, the requests are here.
[21:56] ---
    They haven't been processed at all.
[21:58] ---
    Nor were yesterday's,
    or those before that, all the way back.
[22:06] ---
    "Report to the Board of Governors"
[22:08] ---
    Reports?
[22:10] ---
    23rd Report... 24th Report...
[22:14] ---
    "Final Report to the Board of Governors"
[22:16] ---
    What is this?
[22:18] ---
    "Final report regarding the
    disappearance of Tree Diagram."
[22:23] ---
    "On June 28th, at 00:20,
[22:26] ---
    Tree Diagram disappeared
    from its satellite track.
[22:30] ---
    That same day, at 01:15,
    Search Party 1 was dispatched.
[22:34] ---
    That same day, at 03:40, one section
    of its remnants recovered.
[22:40] ---
    Analysis results indicate
    that Tree Diagram was..."
[22:46] ---
    Tree Diagram...
[22:49] ---
    ...does not exist...?
[22:52] ---
    Then...
[22:53] ---
    Let's see...
[22:55] ---
    ...cats... cats... cats...
[23:09] ---
    After counting clouds until I grew
    bored of it, they drifted far away again
[23:16] ---
    I went after them, and found
    my dreams for tomorrow
[23:21] ---
    Assured that it's now or never,
    your feelings get through to me
[23:28] ---
    and someday, I'm sure,
    I'll offer mine, too
[23:34] ---
    Like the clouds, gently, gently,
[23:39] ---
    moving forever, forever forward
[23:47] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:48] ---
    Tree Diagram doesn't exist.
[23:48] ---
    "#13 Accelerator"
[23:50] ---
    The experiments continue.
[23:51] ---
    Isn't there any way left to save them?
[23:53] ---
    "Misaka is going to the
    next experiment," says Misaka--
[23:56] ---
    Stop! Please!
