**[00:01] Zoroku**
Sorry to call you in so late at night.
**[00:04] Chinatsu**
Oh, we don't mind at all.
**[00:06] Ichiro**
Did something happen?
**[00:09] Zoroku**
Actually, there's something
I want to tell you.
**[00:22] Ichijo**
That's a lot of stuff.
**[00:24] Sanae**
I'm sure Sana-chan will be hungry,
**[00:28] Sanae**
so I brought lots of her favorite foods.
**[00:31] Ichijo**
I see.
**[00:33] Zoroku**
I've already informed our clients,
**[00:36] Zoroku**
but I'll need you two to watch
the shop while I'm away.
**[00:39] Zoroku**
Can you do that?
**[00:40] Chinatsu**
Of course!
**[00:42] Ichiro**
No problem.
**[00:43] Zoroku**
Thanks.
**[00:45] Sanae**
Oh, he's back.
**[00:53] Both**
All right!

No Service
**[02:30] Hatori**
No good. There's no service.
**[02:32] Sana**
"No service"? The thing that
happens underground?
**[02:35] Hatori**
Yeah.
**[02:36] Hatori**
I've never actually seen it before.
**[02:39] Sana**
I think we're in the deepest
part of Wonderland.
**[02:44] Hatori**
We fell from up there, right?
**[02:48] Sana**
I think so...
**[02:49] Hatori**
Then, if we go up, we can get
back to that last door, right?
**[02:55] Sana**
I don't know.
**[02:57] Hatori**
What do you mean?
**[02:58] Hatori**
You know, don't you?
**[03:00] Hatori**
Don't be mean! Just tell me!
**[03:02] Sana**
I really don't know.
**[03:04] Sana**
I can't use the power
that I normally use,
**[03:08] Sana**
and I've never been to this part
of Wonderland, either...
**[03:20] Sana**
Where are you going?
**[03:21] Hatori**
Where else? To look for the exit.
**[03:24] Sana**
I don't think that'll work!
**[03:27] Sana**
Hey!
**[03:28] Sana**
You're kidding, right?
**[03:29] Sana**
You'll get tired!
**[03:40] Sana**
Wait for me!
**[03:49] Sana**
Hey!
**[03:52] Sana**
Wait...
**[04:00] Zoroku**
I told them everything.
**[04:03] Zoroku**
Including where Sana came from
**[04:05] Zoroku**
and what kind of power she has.
**[04:08] Zoroku**
Sorry.
**[04:09] Zoroku**
I know Naito told us to keep
it as quiet as possible.
**[04:13] Ichijo**
In this situation, you had no choice.
**[04:16] Ichijo**
They must have been surprised, right?
**[04:18] Zoroku**
Nah, seems they already had a hunch...
**[04:22] Ichijo**
What did they say?
**[04:24] Zoroku**
Hardly anything.
**[04:25] Zoroku**
"Sana-chan is Sana-chan, isn't she?"
**[04:28] Zoroku**
That's it.
**[04:29] Ichijo**
I'm sure that would make
Sana-chan happy.
**[04:51] Sana**
Hey! It'll never work!
**[05:01] Ichijo**
Sana-chan was born in Wonderland,
**[05:04] Ichijo**
but we still don't know much about it.
**[05:06] Ichijo**
Please be very careful, both of you.
**[05:09] Sanae**
Wow...
**[05:10] Sanae**
But the name sounds like an
amusement park, doesn't it?
**[05:15] Sanae**
Are you worried?
**[05:18] Zoroku**
What about you?
**[05:22] Sanae**
When Sana-chan was taken before,
**[05:25] Sanae**
I was really worried.
**[05:28] Sanae**
But ultimately, it all
worked out, didn't it?
**[05:31] Sanae**
So I've decided that it'll
be okay this time, too.
**[05:35] Zoroku**
I see.
**[05:36] Sanae**
Besides,
**[05:37] Sanae**
I'm the alien of happy endings!
**[05:41] Sanae**
But that time, Naito-san was
the one driving...
**[05:44] Ichijo**
Oh! Would you have preferred Naito?
**[05:47] Sanae**
Nope, I prefer you.
**[05:49] Ichijo**
That's a relief.
**[06:30] Hatori**
Mom!
**[06:44] Hatori**
*No...*
**[06:46] Sana**
I told you... it wouldn't work.
**[06:49] Sana**
Since my power is gone,
**[06:52] Sana**
I think the exit disappeared...
**[06:54] Hatori**
That can't be.
**[06:55] Hatori**
I have to stay with my mom forever!
**[06:58] Hatori**
Send me home, right now!
**[07:00] Sana**
I... I want to go home, too.
**[07:08] Sana**
I don't think anyone's there!
**[07:12] Sana**
I'm telling the truth...
**[07:16] Yamada**
We believe the girl
**[07:18] Yamada**
with Sana-chan was responsible
for the Harajuku incident.
***SIGN*** Imai Pharmaceutical Corporation
**[07:21] Yamada**
There's no cell signal where they
are, so we lack detailed intel.
**[07:26] Yamada**
Wonderland is constantly changing.
**[07:29] Yamada**
But since we confirmed they're
both there, we've been unable
**[07:33] Yamada**
to learn anything going on inside.
**[07:36] Yamada**
It's possible that we could encounter
unpredictable dangers,
**[07:39] Yamada**
so please be very careful.
**[07:43] Guy**
We still can't see it?
**[07:44] Guy**
We can verify there's a
signal, but that's all.
**[07:47] Guy**
The energy signal coming
from inside is stronger.
**[07:49] Guy**
Does that mean it's expanding?
**[07:51] Guy**
Most likely.
**[07:51] Guy**
Will it affect this world?
**[07:53] Guy**
Trying to calculate that now.
**[07:54] Voice**
*Please enter your twelve-digit passcode.*
**[08:06] Sanae**
So this is where Sana-chan was born?
**[08:09] Zoroku**
And those two girls are
in here, somewhere?
**[08:12] Yamada**
Yes.
**[08:15] Yamada**
Senpai!
**[08:19] Yamada**
That form is just the best...
**[08:22] Ichijo**
Yamada, what is your job?
**[08:24] Yamada**
To back you up,
**[08:26] Yamada**
and to collect data on Wonderland!
**[08:28] Ichijo**
Good, as long as you know that.
**[08:31] Sanae**
Wait, Grandpa!
**[08:32] Ichijo**
Kashimura-san, please wait!
**[08:40] Hatori**
Excuse me! Is anyone here?
**[08:44] Hatori**
If so, please answer me!
**[08:48] Hatori**
Is anyone here?
**[09:09] Sanae**
What's wrong, Grandpa?
**[09:12] Sanae**
That's Sana-chan...
**[09:13] Sanae**
with Asahi-chan and
Yonaga-chan, isn't it?
**[09:24] Zoroku**
Is that...
**[09:26] Zoroku**
the stuffed pig I bought for her?
**[09:32] Sanae**
Oh! The spotted pig!
**[09:34] Sanae**
I bet if we follow that pig,
we'll find Sana-chan!
**[09:38] Ichijo**
Isn't that a shot in the dark?
**[09:40] Sanae**
Huh? Is it?
**[09:42] Zoroku**
Seems it's our only choice.
**[09:44] Sanae**
Right?
**[09:45] Ichijo**
Maybe we should consider this further.
**[09:48] Ichijo**
Kashimura-san? Kashimura-san!
**[09:54] Zoroku**
Is this another of Sana's memories?
**[09:58] Sanae**
No idea.
**[10:00] Ichijo**
I'll take a look from above.
**[10:02] Ichijo**
#41.
**[10:04] Ichijo**
Huh?
**[10:05] Ichijo**
What?!
**[10:06] Sanae**
Ichijo-san?
**[10:30] Sana**
Sorry.
**[10:35] Sana**
I was only trying to get you
guys back for what happened.
**[10:38] Sana**
I had no idea we'd get stuck here.
**[10:42] Sana**
Sorry. This is all my fault.
**[10:45] Sana**
I'm really sorry.
**[10:52] Hatori**
No...
**[10:54] Hatori**
This might have been my doing.
**[10:58] Sanae**
Hey, Grandpa...
**[10:59] Sanae**
Do you think Ichijo-san is okay?
**[11:02] Zoroku**
Aren't you a happy alien?
**[11:05] Sanae**
Huh?
**[11:06] Zoroku**
Aren't you?
**[11:09] Sanae**
Yeah!
**[11:09] Sanae**
Ichijo-san's really strong, isn't she?
**[11:12] Zoroku**
Yeah, she sure is.
**[11:27] Zoroku**
What the?
**[11:28] Sanae**
It's almost like someone's mocking us.
**[11:32] Zoroku**
Later, I'll have to give this
Wonderland place a talking to.
**[11:36] Sanae**
Wow!
**[11:37] Sanae**
You're gonna give Wonderland a lecture!
**[11:44] Hatori**
Hey, what is that?
**[11:46] Sana**
I think it's practicing.
**[11:50] Hatori**
Practicing what?
**[11:52] Sana**
Things it's learned.
**[11:54] Hatori**
Things it's learned?
**[11:56] Sana**
Wonderland wants to know
**[11:59] Sana**
what the world is made of.
**[12:02] Sana**
Not just things like colors, shapes,
**[12:04] Sana**
smells, and flavors...
**[12:08] Sana**
I think it wants to know
about all its rules.
**[12:12] Sana**
Like the kinds of mechanisms
that make it up,
**[12:16] Sana**
what life is made of,
**[12:19] Sana**
and how humans see the world.
**[12:23] Sana**
I think it gathers all of those
things from our world,
**[12:27] Sana**
and it imitates them.
**[12:29] Sana**
Maybe the Mirror Gates
**[12:31] Sana**
are the peepholes that
Wonderland uses to do that.
**[12:38] Sana**
At first, I think Wonderland
was just a bit larger than this room.
**[12:45] Sana**
But eventually, I think it'll
become a whole universe.
**[12:50] Hatori**
Strange...
**[12:53] Hatori**
Everything you say is so unbelievable,
**[12:59] Hatori**
but for some reason,
I don't think you're lying.
**[13:03] Hatori**
You're a mysterious girl.
**[13:05] Sana**
I'm not weird!
**[13:07] Hatori**
I didn't say you were weird.
**[13:09] Sana**
I'm not lying!
**[13:11] Hatori**
I didn't say you were lying, either.
**[13:12] Hatori**
You're so funny.
**[13:14] Sana**
I'm not funny!
**[13:16] Hatori**
Then, wouldn't this world
have to have thought
**[13:21] Hatori**
of something amazing?
**[13:24] Hatori**
It's really weird and beyond
my comprehension,
**[13:28] Hatori**
but it's beautiful.
**[13:32] Hatori**
If this world
**[13:34] Hatori**
will eventually become a different one,
**[13:37] Hatori**
then maybe I could just
live here forever.
**[13:45] Hatori**
I've succeeded in running away...
**[13:49] Sana**
Are you sure about that?
**[13:52] Hatori**
About what?
**[13:54] Sana**
Uh...
**[13:56] Sana**
But if you stay here forever,
you'll be bored!
**[13:58] Sana**
And didn't you say you wanted
to go back to your mom?!
**[14:02] Hatori**
Leave me alone.
You wouldn't understand.
**[14:15] Hatori**
I'm sorry.
**[14:18] Hatori**
That was a mean thing to say.
**[14:23] Hatori**
I'm not sure where to start.
**[14:27] Hatori**
You see, my mom hates me.
**[14:31] Sana**
By "mom," do you mean your mother?
**[14:34] Hatori**
That's right.
**[14:36] Sana**
I see...
**[14:37] Sana**
My Sanae has a mother, too,
**[14:40] Sana**
and that mother's father is Zoroku.
**[14:42] Sana**
But I don't have either,
so I don't really get it.
**[14:45] Hatori**
Really?
**[14:47] Sana**
Yeah.
**[14:54] Hatori**
Hey... Can I tell you something?
**[14:58] Sana**
Okay.
**[14:59] Hatori**
My parents have been
**[15:01] Hatori**
fighting for many years now.
**[15:04] Sana**
Why?
**[15:06] Hatori**
I failed my elementary
school entrance exam,
**[15:09] Hatori**
and I disappointed my mom.
**[15:14] Hatori**
Ever since then, Mom won't
even look me in the eye.
**[15:19] Hatori**
So I think it's best if I'm not there.
**[15:23] Hatori**
That way, Mom and Dad won't fight,
**[15:26] Hatori**
and they can always be happy.
**[15:33] Hatori**
Also, sometimes Mom looks at me
**[15:36] Hatori**
as if she's looking in from a
universe of endless darkness.
**[15:42] Hatori**
When I see her like that, I think...
**[15:47] Hatori**
I love my mom...
**[15:51] Hatori**
But she probably wishes
I weren't her daughter...
**[16:01] Hatori**
I... don't want to go home!
**[16:05] Hatori**
I should never have existed at all.
**[16:16] Sana**
H-Hey...
**[16:19] Sana**
This might make you mad.
**[16:25] Sana**
But I think it's okay that you exist.
**[16:33] Hatori**
Thanks.
**[16:35] Sana**
That's wrong.
**[16:38] Sana**
I don't think there's anyone
**[16:42] Sana**
who should or shouldn't exist.
**[16:45] Sana**
That's why it scares me to
think about those things...
**[16:51] Sana**
You know...
**[16:54] Sana**
I was born here.
**[16:57] Sana**
I'm not human, like everyone else.
**[17:00] Sana**
I think I'm Wonderland itself.
**[17:12] Teacher**
That's it for practice!
**[17:13] Kids**
Thank you!
**[17:15] Kid**
Wanna go somewhere?
**[17:16] Kid**
Ice cream!
**[17:16] Kid**
Okay.
**[17:17] Kid**
Oh, I've got cram school now.

Ha-chan
***SIGN*** No Answer
**[17:26] Ayumu**
Ha-chan...
**[17:27] Hatori**
Not human?
**[17:29] Sana**
Yeah.
**[17:32] Hatori**
H-Huh?
**[17:33] Hatori**
W-Wait, what are you...
**[17:38] Sana**
L-Listen...
**[17:40] Sana**
The truth is that I was told not
to tell anyone about this.
**[17:44] Sana**
But when I was first born here,
I was something else...
**[17:49] Sana**
Something I can't explain.
**[17:51] Sana**
I don't think I was even
shaped like a human.
**[17:54] Sana**
Then, before I knew it,
I had eyes and a body,
**[17:58] Sana**
and I looked like this.
**[18:00] Sana**
But I'm pretty sure I was
a part of Wonderland.
**[18:05] Sana**
You don't believe me?
**[18:07] Hatori**
No, I'm just surprised.
**[18:10] Sana**
I figured it out after hearing about you.
**[18:12] Sana**
I was similar, and it made me
frazzled for a long time.
**[18:16] Sana**
I'm pretty sure
**[18:18] Sana**
I'm still connected to this place, somehow.
**[18:21] Sana**
But the outside world and
real humans are what
**[18:25] Sana**
Wonderland wants to know about.
**[18:27] Sana**
So I'm just something like
a communication device.
**[18:30] Sana**
But if that's true, many others
could take my place.
**[18:34] Sana**
Maybe my existence isn't really necessary,
**[18:37] Sana**
and I don't matter at all...
**[18:42] Sana**
Maybe it's wrong for me
to care about anyone,
**[18:45] Sana**
and I'm actually someone
who isn't needed.
**[18:57] Sana**
U-Uh, I mean...
**[18:59] Sana**
I don't have a mom,
so maybe you don't like
**[19:02] Sana**
my comparing myself to you!
**[19:06] Sana**
Um, want me to wipe your tears?
**[19:08] Hatori**
No.
**[19:11] Sana**
You know, since I left Wonderland,
**[19:15] Sana**
I found lots of new things I like.
**[19:20] Sana**
I've met so many people,
**[19:22] Sana**
and found things that are
delicious, fun, and exciting,
**[19:26] Sana**
and things that won't leave my
mind, even if they're annoying.
**[19:30] Sana**
Maybe all the things that
make me feel frazzled
**[19:34] Sana**
are actually all wrong
**[19:36] Sana**
and aren't needed at all.
**[19:40] Sana**
I can't prove it,
**[19:41] Sana**
but I do need them!
**[19:44] Sana**
That's why I decided to insist
that they *are* necessary!
**[19:48] Sana**
So hearing you say it'd be better
if you weren't around is just...
**[19:53] Sana**
I mean, it's kind of...
**[19:59] Hatori**
You really are a mysterious girl.
**[20:03] Sana**
Really? I'm mysterious?
**[20:06] Hatori**
Huh? What are you doing?
**[20:07] Sana**
My Sanae does this to me a lot.
**[20:11] Hatori**
"Your" Sanae?
**[20:12] Sana**
Yeah.
**[20:13] Sana**
All the people I know are big.
**[20:18] Sana**
So even when I talk about stuff
like this, they don't listen.
**[20:21] Sana**
I always feel so frazzled,
**[20:24] Sana**
but they just say I'm doing great,
or I'll understand when I'm older.
**[20:29] Hatori**
How old are you?
**[20:31] Sana**
Uh, I don't know.
**[20:33] Sana**
Between eight and ten.
**[20:34] Hatori**
We might be around the same age, then.
**[20:37] Sana**
Really? I think I'm older than you!
**[20:40] Hatori**
No, I'm older than you.
**[20:42] Sana**
No, I am!
**[20:47] Hatori**
Can I stay like this for a little bit?
**[20:52] Hatori**
When I was little, my mom
held me like this a lot.
**[20:58] Hatori**
I introduced myself,
**[21:00] Hatori**
but everyone laughed
and said I was weird.
**[21:02] Hatori**
When the teacher said
**[21:05] Hatori**
I didn't have to introduce myself
when I enter the classroom,
**[21:08] Hatori**
they all laughed at me again!
**[21:10] Hatori**
And then... And then...
**[21:12] Mom**
You don't need to worry about that.
**[21:14] Mom**
You introduced yourself,
just like I told you to.
**[21:20] Mom**
Little crybaby Ha-chan,
I'll have to squeeze you.
**[21:24] Hatori**
*Do you remember, Mom?*
**[21:27] Hatori**
*I was sad then,*
**[21:30] Hatori**
*but so happy.*
**[21:32] Hatori**
*I felt truly blessed.*
**[21:37] Hatori**
*It's just like back then.*
**[21:42] Hatori**
*I can hear her heartbeat.*
**[21:46] Hatori**
Listen...
**[21:47] Hatori**
I'd like to see my mom once more.
**[21:50] Hatori**
Will you help me?
**[21:52] Sana**
Yeah.
**[21:56] Hatori**
Thanks.
