[00:27] ---
    What is that boy doing?
[00:29] ---
    He has a disease
    called muscular dystrophy.
[00:33] ---
    Muscular dys...?
[00:41] ---
    It's a disease that makes his
    muscles grow gradually weaker.
[00:45] ---
    He was born with this unfair disease.
[00:50] ---
    As you can see, he is fighting
    to overcome the disease.
[01:08] ---
    However, no matter how hard he tries,
[01:10] ---
    he cannot recover from his disease.
[01:13] ---
    With our current medical science,
    there isn't any basic treatment.
[01:17] ---
    His muscles will continue to weaken,
[01:20] ---
    and in time, he won't
    even be able to stand up.
[01:23] ---
    Then, finally, his breathing
    and heart activity will also stop.
[01:30] ---
    However, that is, as I say, only currently.
[01:35] ---
    By using your ability, he,
[01:38] ---
    and other sick people like him,
    may be helped by you.
[01:43] ---
    Would you like to offer your DNA map to us?
[02:06] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[02:08] ---
    Thank you.
[02:21] ---
    A dream...? Why was I dreaming
    about something so long ago?
[02:25] ---
    Oh, right--I went to see
    Miss Edasaki yesterday, and...
[02:54] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[02:58] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[03:01] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together
[03:11] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[03:18] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[03:24] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day
[03:27] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[03:31] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[03:34] ---
    more precious than anything else
[03:39] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)
[03:43] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)
[03:46] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[03:50] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[03:53] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[03:56] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[03:59] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt
[04:05] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[04:13] ---
    Ah! Sissy, please wait for me!
[04:18] ---
    Shut up, you perv!
[04:20] ---
    I-I just wanted to feel
    the warmth of someone else.
[04:24] ---
    Even so, you can't come
    crawling into my bed. Hmph!
[04:30] ---
    B-Be that as it may, Sissy,
    where are you off to today?
[04:34] ---
    There's a regional field trip
[04:36] ---
    at the beginning
    of September, isn't there?
[04:38] ---
    Ah, yes.
[04:40] ---
    I was thinking of getting ready for it
[04:41] ---
    by getting together the little
    sundries I'll need to travel with.
[04:46] ---
    You are going to go
    shopping for more of your
[04:48] ---
    somewhat childish goods, are you not?
[04:51] ---
    Even though our tiny
    room is already overflowing
[04:52] ---
    with Made-In-Nowhere fancy
    knockoffs of famous characters?
[04:57] ---
    Did you say something?
[04:59] ---
    No, nothing.
[05:00] ---
    So, today, we are having
    a shopping date, then?
[05:03] ---
    Ugh...
[05:04] ---
    You don't really have to tag along.
[05:06] ---
    Not at all! Let's see... Is there
    anything else that you might need?
[05:13] ---
    Maybe something to intercept
[05:16] ---
    intruding gropers sneaking into my bed?
[05:19] ---
    You are still angry about that, are you?
[05:21] ---
    Not at all.
[05:24] ---
    I-I can be of all sorts of help to you.
[05:28] ---
    Like, say, look!
[05:30] ---
    If you are on your
    way to the shopping mall,
[05:33] ---
    this way will be much shorter.
[05:37] ---
    After you, Sissy.
[05:39] ---
    All right, but if you get me
    somewhere out of public view
[05:41] ---
    and then start clinging on me or anything,
    I won't be responsible.
[05:44] ---
    W-Why, I would not do something like that...
[05:50] ---
    It's so narrow.
[05:51] ---
    And how do you know
    about this back alley, anyway?
[05:54] ---
    It comes with the job.
[05:56] ---
    I have maps of the city memorized,
    down to the nooks and crannies.
[06:06] ---
    Excuse me.
[06:07] ---
    No, go right ahead.
[06:09] ---
    When the way is this narrow,
    this can be a hassle, huh?
[06:13] ---
    Well, this does not happen very often, so...
[06:21] ---
    Sorry.
[06:21] ---
    No, go right ahead.
[06:23] ---
    Say, is this a major back alley,
    or something?
[06:26] ---
    No, nothing like that.
[06:29] ---
    This sure is strange, huh?
[06:40] ---
    Why today, of all days...
[06:42] ---
    ...does this...
[06:45] ---
    Hey, are you all right?
[06:51] ---
    Huh? What is it?
[06:53] ---
    Nothing, something just fell under here...
[06:57] ---
    An envelope?
[06:58] ---
    There is no address
    or name written on it.
[07:04] ---
    What's that?
[07:08] ---
    A Money Card.
[07:11] ---
    Huh? Miss Shirai, you found one, too?
[07:14] ---
    Too?
[07:16] ---
    Over the past few days,
    we've been receiving reports
[07:19] ---
    about found Money Cards
    all across School District 7.
[07:22] ---
    There are now forty-eight incidents...
[07:24] ---
    Oh, it just went up to fifty-six incidents!
[07:27] ---
    That many?
[07:28] ---
    Since there are others,
[07:29] ---
    which haven't been reported,
    it's actually more.
[07:32] ---
    Could it be some kind of
    organized card counterfeiting?
[07:35] ---
    The thing of it is,
[07:36] ---
    all of the cards that were
    turned into us were genuine.
[07:40] ---
    Is that right, Miss Konori?
[07:42] ---
    Yes.
[07:43] ---
    But why? I have not heard
    a single thing about this case.
[07:49] ---
    While intentionally destroying
    or abandoning money is prohibited,
[07:53] ---
    Money Cards are exempt,
[07:55] ---
    so there haven't been
    any particular notices about it.
[07:58] ---
    So that is why.
[08:02] ---
    The amounts on the cards have varied,
[08:04] ---
    from as little as 1000
    yen to well over 50,000 yen.
[08:09] ---
    Each of them was left in
    a place with little human traffic,
[08:13] ---
    and each one was
    inserted into an envelope.
[08:15] ---
    In other words, someone is
    spreading these around on purpose.
[08:24] ---
    It's awfully involved
    for this to just be a prank.
[08:27] ---
    There were no fingerprints
    left on the cards or the envelopes.
[08:30] ---
    Rumors have just been spreading around,
[08:34] ---
    and there are more
    people prowling the alleyways,
[08:36] ---
    looking for treasure.
[08:38] ---
    I see. That's why
    there was so much traffic.
[08:41] ---
    It's not just that.
    Some students are stealing cards,
[08:44] ---
    and others are getting into fights
[08:46] ---
    for stumbling into Skill Out territory.
[08:48] ---
    We cannot let this stand, can we?
[08:51] ---
    Sissy, unfortunately, our date
    will have to wait for another time.
[08:56] ---
    Mm-mm, I can always go by
    myself, so don't worry about it.
[09:01] ---
    Bye!
[09:04] ---
    That just means that I will be lonely.
[09:06] ---
    Well, Miss Shirai, please start
    looking around this area, okay?
[09:13] ---
    Now I can take my
    time and enjoy a little shopping!
[09:19] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[09:21] ---
    Mm-mm, it's okay.
[09:22] ---
    Aww, it doesn't look
    like there are any here.
[09:26] ---
    Okay.
[09:27] ---
    Do you think that story
    was just a rumor after all?
[09:30] ---
    But I heard that Rit-*chan
    *in Class B found one.
[09:33] ---
    Huh? Really?
[09:34] ---
    Rumors, huh? Kuroko
    and I aren't very up on those.
[09:43] ---
    (sniff, sniff) (sniff, sniff)
[09:46] ---
    (sniff, sniff)
[09:49] ---
    (sniff, sniff) (sniff, sniff)
[09:51] ---
    Hmm, maybe there
    aren't any more around here.
[09:55] ---
    Uh, Miss Saten...?
[09:58] ---
    Ah, Misaka!
[10:00] ---
    Geez, what was up earlier,
    walking off without saying anything?
[10:04] ---
    Huh? Earlier?
[10:05] ---
    Oh, don't play dumb.
[10:07] ---
    Misaka, you were walking in
    front of Seventh Mist, weren't you?
[10:11] ---
    I called out to you,
    but you ignored me like crazy.
[10:14] ---
    I don't think that was me.
[10:17] ---
    Eh? But I was certain you
    were wearing a Tokiwadai uniform.
[10:22] ---
    I've been with Kuroko and the others.
[10:25] ---
    Well, maybe it wasn't you.
[10:27] ---
    By the way, Miss Saten,
    what were you doing?
[10:29] ---
    By any chance, were you searching
    for those rumored Money Cards?
[10:33] ---
    You know about that?
[10:36] ---
    Ta-da!
[10:37] ---
    A-Amazing.
[10:39] ---
    I just seem to have a keen
    nose for these kinds of rumors, huh?
[10:44] ---
    (sniff, sniff)
[10:46] ---
    (sniff, sniff, sniff)
[10:47] ---
    Y-You don't say.
[10:49] ---
    (sniff, sniff)
[10:51] ---
    All right!
[10:52] ---
    Let's go check over there, next!
[10:54] ---
    Eh? I-I don't really...
[10:56] ---
    Just come on, come on!
[10:58] ---
    Full school curfew is
    approaching. All students,
[11:02] ---
    please return home at once.
    Full school curfew is approaching.
[11:06] ---
    Aww, now it's gone and
    become evening time, huh?
[11:11] ---
    Here. This is your share, Misaka.
[11:14] ---
    Thanks. No, wait, I can't!
[11:17] ---
    Those have to be turned over!
[11:20] ---
    Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
    I'll contact Uiharu later on.
[11:25] ---
    Never mind that, Miss Saten...
[11:27] ---
    Have you heard any rumors
    about who was distributing those cards?
[11:31] ---
    Huh... I haven't heard
    very much about that, have I?
[11:37] ---
    Okay, Misaka! Let's bring
    Uiharu along next time, too!
[11:41] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[11:42] ---
    Well, see you!
[11:43] ---
    See you later!
[11:46] ---
    Ugh, I ended up wasting
    the whole day. What am I doing?
[11:54] ---
    It's true, I tell you!
[11:57] ---
    I was going into an
    alley in Block E to take a leak,
[12:00] ---
    and I saw a girl placing
    this envelope. So I followed her.
[12:04] ---
    And?
[12:05] ---
    So she went into a
    multi-tenant building in Block C.
[12:09] ---
    That must be her base!
[12:10] ---
    Just the one girl?
[12:12] ---
    She's got others with her, doesn't she?
[12:13] ---
    I checked it out!
    It really is just the one girl!
[12:17] ---
    Hmph, let's go have a look.
[12:19] ---
    How did you check it out?
[12:21] ---
    I staked her out.
[12:23] ---
    You're so devoted, huh?
[12:24] ---
    It's been a long time since
    I've heard anything this good.
[12:29] ---
    Yeah, Kuroko? Mm-hmm, listen...
[12:31] ---
    "#2 Critical"
[12:32] ---
    I need a little favor.
[12:38] ---
    Ah, welcome back.
[12:40] ---
    Did you finish the tabulation?
[12:42] ---
    Yes.
[12:43] ---
    Today's total is... seventy-three incidents.
[12:47] ---
    It's growing more
    and more each day, isn't it?
[12:49] ---
    So, where is Miss Shirai?
[12:51] ---
    She said something important
    came up, and that she had to leave.
[12:54] ---
    She did?
[12:56] ---
    Well, I'll be having dinner.
    Dinner... Dinner...
[13:00] ---
    Hello?
[13:02] ---
    Ah, Miss Saten. Huh?
[13:05] ---
    Oh, you found a Money Card, too?
[13:09] ---
    Yes, all right.
    Okay, tomorrow, or whenever.
[13:12] ---
    Oh, but never mind that...
[13:14] ---
    Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm... All right.
[13:18] ---
    I just need to stay with
    Miss Haru'ue until you get back, then?
[13:21] ---
    If it's not too much trouble.
[13:23] ---
    Oh, hold on, Uiharu!
[13:25] ---
    There's something I wanted to ask you.
[13:27] ---
    Eh? Miss Misaka?
[13:30] ---
    Yes, she came here
    this afternoon with Miss Shirai,
[13:33] ---
    to drop off one of the Money Cards.
[13:35] ---
    She did, huh? Then I guess
    I just mistook someone else for her.
[13:41] ---
    Mm-mm, it's nothing. See you!
[13:49] ---
    Was I really mistaken about her?
[13:52] ---
    Huh? A look-alike of Miss Misaka?
[13:55] ---
    Yes. Miss Saten said she saw one.
[13:59] ---
    Come to think of it,
    there were stories long ago
[14:02] ---
    about there being Level 5 clones.
[14:04] ---
    Clones?
[14:05] ---
    Some research facility
    somewhere used cloning technology
[14:09] ---
    to try mass-producing Level 5's...
[14:11] ---
    ...or so the story goes.
[14:15] ---
    That does sort of sound like Academy City...
[14:18] ---
    ...and like something Miss Saten
    would sink her teeth into, huh?
[14:21] ---
    That's the truth!
[14:27] ---
    Yes?
[14:29] ---
    Good evening, Head Resident.
[14:31] ---
    Allow me to commend
    you on your diligent patrol.
[14:33] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[14:35] ---
    Hmm?
[14:36] ---
    Hey, where is Misaka?
[14:38] ---
    Hey, Kuroko, we're out of shampoo!
[14:42] ---
    Right! Oh, my poor Sissy.
[14:45] ---
    I am terribly sorry, Head Resident.
[14:47] ---
    Just a moment, please!
[14:51] ---
    Hurry it up, Kuroko!
[14:53] ---
    Okay, okay.
[14:58] ---
    Kuroko, my towel is...
[15:00] ---
    Hey! Why are you coming in--
[15:03] ---
    Oh, Sissy,
[15:05] ---
    to think that I would
    have to fool the head resident
[15:07] ---
    because you did not
    make it back before curfew...
[15:09] ---
    Whatever would have
    happened if I had not had my little
[15:13] ---
    "Secret Sissy Voice Collection" here?
[15:16] ---
    It has been a long
    time since this has happened.
[15:19] ---
    It used to happen quite often.
[15:24] ---
    Sissy...
[15:34] ---
    Hi! Forgive the intrusion.
[15:38] ---
    Just take it nice and easy,
    and things won't get violent.
[15:42] ---
    Do you need something?
[15:44] ---
    Well, you see,
[15:45] ---
    you know those cards that
    you've been spreading around?
[15:47] ---
    We were thinking of
    getting all of them from you.
[15:54] ---
    Whoa, there!
[15:56] ---
    Setting off a security buzzer
    would cause us too much trouble,
[15:59] ---
    so I think we'll have a
    look inside there ourselves. Hey!
[16:02] ---
    You betcha.
[16:06] ---
    What's this? There're only two of them.
[16:09] ---
    Huh?
[16:10] ---
    None over here, either.
[16:12] ---
    Coming all the way here
    for just this is a complete joke.
[16:15] ---
    Hey...
[16:16] ---
    ...raising my hands
    against women is not my style.
[16:19] ---
    Tell us right now where--
[16:21] ---
    There aren't any here.
[16:23] ---
    Equals...
[16:24] ---
    This is my whole stock.
[16:26] ---
    There's no way that's true!
[16:28] ---
    And also, aren't you fairly relaxed,
    given your situation? Huh?
[16:33] ---
    You don't suppose she has an ability!
[16:42] ---
    Whatever the case, not too many of them
[16:44] ---
    can do anything against this many of us.
[16:47] ---
    Right now, let's make a thorough search.
[16:50] ---
    Hey, you keep your eyes on her.
[16:52] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[16:53] ---
    What are you so spooked about?
[16:55] ---
    I-I'm not spooked!
[16:58] ---
    Hey, just get to it, already.
[17:03] ---
    Anything over there?
[17:04] ---
    Nothing. Damn it, where are they?
[17:07] ---
    Shut up and keep looking.
[17:07] ---
    Damn, I don't know what,
[17:10] ---
    but something about her is creepy.
[17:14] ---
    That school badge--I've seen it somewhere...
[17:18] ---
    Nagatenjoki Academy?!
[17:20] ---
    That's the greatest,
    most elite school in all of Academy City!
[17:25] ---
    Which means that, sure enough,
    she's a high-level ability user!
[17:28] ---
    No, hold on, just calm down...
    Unlike Tokiwadai,
[17:32] ---
    they take those who excel
    in other fields besides abilities.
[17:36] ---
    So she may not necessarily
    have any abilities...
[17:41] ---
    W-What?!
[17:43] ---
    You look a little pale.
    Are you sure you're okay?
[17:48] ---
    L-Leave me alone!
[17:50] ---
    You're breathing hard, too.
[17:52] ---
    And that's a nasty cold sweat.
[17:55] ---
    You seem to be shaking something awful.
[17:57] ---
    Why, you...!
[17:58] ---
    It's almost as though...
[18:01] ---
    H-How did you know that?
[18:05] ---
    Because...
[18:08] ---
    Hey, what's wrong?!
[18:14] ---
    W-What the hell did you do to him?!
[18:16] ---
    Sh-She's got some ability,
    all right, doesn't she?!
[18:20] ---
    If she did, she'd have attacked
    us earlier, and been done with it!
[18:23] ---
    B-But she isn't packing
    something, or anything!
[18:26] ---
    There's a condition to activate it.
[18:29] ---
    My ability is called "Critical."
[18:32] ---
    It only activates against
    those I've come into contact with.
[18:36] ---
    However...
[18:38] ---
    ...once I touch you,
    no matter where you run,
[18:41] ---
    I am able to end your life.
[18:43] ---
    Hmph, what are you talking about?
[18:45] ---
    I've never heard of
    an ability as weird as that.
[18:51] ---
    Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
[18:54] ---
    But the ability to acquire and
    tamper with others
[18:58] ---
    whose AIM diffusion fields
    have been traced has many variations.
[19:03] ---
    Although, to Level 0's such as yourselves,
[19:05] ---
    it may be a sensation
    that doesn't mean much to you.
[19:08] ---
    This is a load of worthless hot air.
[19:12] ---
    Huh? What's with you?!
[19:13] ---
    I-I happened to touch her earlier!
[19:17] ---
    If what she says is true, then I...
[19:20] ---
    Don't freak out. I'm telling you,
    that's a bunch of hot air.
[19:24] ---
    Y-Yeah, but...
[19:25] ---
    Hey, knock off the division
    in the ranks, here!
[19:28] ---
    Yes.
[19:32] ---
    Fighting among friends is a bad thing.
[19:37] ---
    Why, you!
[19:39] ---
    Hey, what am I supposed to do now?!
[19:41] ---
    Take it easy!
[19:43] ---
    Shut up. I'll do this.
[19:49] ---
    Hmm? Huh?
[19:53] ---
    W-What was that?! Hey, you guys...
[20:02] ---
    Damn, what the hell is going on?
[20:16] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[20:19] ---
    You're the only one left, right?
[20:24] ---
    What, again?!
[20:28] ---
    I'll get her!
[20:31] ---
    I'll get her!
[20:33] ---
    There you are!
[20:40] ---
    M-My pipe...
[20:43] ---
    Where's my iron pipe?!
[20:48] ---
    Damn!
[20:50] ---
    What is this?! What is it?!
[20:54] ---
    What's going on?!
[21:00] ---
    Now, you are the
    subject of my ability, as well.
[21:04] ---
    It's all right.
[21:06] ---
    Just like it was with
    your friends, it will all be over,
[21:10] ---
    before you can feel any pain.
[21:11] ---
    W-Wait a minute! I'm sorry!
    I'll get out of here, right now!
[21:15] ---
    So please...!
[21:19] ---
    And now...
[21:20] ---
    ...I just have to lower my hand.
[21:25] ---
    Three...
[21:27] ---
    two...
[21:27] ---
    N-No...
[21:29] ---
    one...
[21:29] ---
    Don't!!
[21:36] ---
    Well,
[21:37] ---
    it was just a paper popper.
[21:43] ---
    Wow, that was a
    pretty good show you put on.
[21:47] ---
    I was going to step in if it got ugly,
[21:50] ---
    but imagine, you neutralizing
    this many Skill Outs so easily...
[21:54] ---
    And with just narrative,
    showmanship, and...
[21:57] ---
    ...what is that,
    anesthesia, or something?
[22:04] ---
    What?
[22:09] ---
    You...
[22:15] ---
    ...are the Original, huh?
[22:29] ---
    While looking up
    into an unfamiliar sky,
[22:35] ---
    always, always walking with you
[22:41] ---
    I was searching for
    the future I thought I saw,
[22:47] ---
    so unlike the one up until a day ago
[22:53] ---
    When you touched my heart,
    convinced by my blurred vision,
[23:02] ---
    that I was wandering
[23:05] ---
    everything started changing
[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,
[23:40] ---
    moving forever, forever forward
[23:47] ---
