[00:18] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[00:20] ---
    I don't know...
[00:21] ---
    But this is...
[00:26] ---
    Mortis, are you asleep?
[00:30] ---
    Tonight's melody is quite special.
[00:33] ---
    Anyone who hears it will be
    lulled into a peaceful slumber.
[00:38] ---
    The summoned dolls
[00:41] ---
    will be drawn into the sweet
    and tranquil darkness.
[00:43] ---
    What should we do?
[00:44] ---
    No idea, let's just go
    along with them for now.
[00:46] ---
    Once they fall asleep, they'll never wake up.
[00:47] ---
    That's incredible—
    Once they fall asleep, they'll never wake up.
[00:49] ---
    Goodnight. Sweet dreams, everyone.
[02:50] ---
    Mutsumi-chan, you were amazing!
[02:52] ---
    The audience was so surprised too.
[02:54] ---
    I didn't think you could pull
    off a performance like that.
[02:57] ---
    Did you plan it out with Togawa-san?
[03:00] ---
    Huh?
[03:01] ---
    Because it was so perfect,
    it didn't seem impromptu.
[03:06] ---
    Anyway, at least the staff was convinced.
[03:09] ---
    Why did you do something like that?
[03:13] ---
    The guitar—I made a mistake.
[03:17] ---
    You mean it wasn't pre-planned
    or an impromptu?
[03:20] ---
    I didn't know you could make
    mistakes during live performances.
[03:24] ---
    And you just froze on stage without
    even trying to bluff your way out?
[03:29] ---
    Bluffing her way out—Mutsumi
    isn't capable of that.
[03:32] ---
    I see...
[03:34] ---
    Saki-chan, you're incredible too.
[03:35] ---
    You can react so quickly.
[03:58] ---
    Mutsumi-chan?
[04:00] ---
    You can't sleep again?
[04:05] ---
    Why do I always mess things up so badly?
[04:15] ---
    Mutsumi-chan!
[04:16] ---
    Welcome to our show today!
[04:25] ---
    So cute!
[04:26] ---
    She's just like her mom!
[04:28] ---
    Do you think she'll become an
    outstanding actress like Minami-san?
[04:32] ---
    Like Mom? What does that mean?
[04:38] ---
    Since a long time ago, Mutsumi-chan
    has never been good at talking.
[04:43] ---
    Not good at talking?
[04:44] ---
    Completely unlike her dad, who only
    knows how to talk. That's a relief.
[04:46] ---
    You're being too much! Who are you
    calling all talk and no action?
[04:50] ---
    Born with her parents' aura?
[04:51] ---
    And not just one parent—double aura!
[04:53] ---
    But she's so cute.
[04:55] ---
    That's right! Mutsumi-chan is super
    cute and incredibly talented.
[05:00] ---
    All those praises belong to Minami-chan and Ta-kun.
    This isn't just me being biased toward my child.
[05:02] ---
    All those praises belong to Minami-chan and Ta-kun.
    Her eyebrows do look like mine though.
[05:03] ---
    All those praises belong
    to Minami-chan and Ta-kun.
[05:05] ---
    Not a single one belongs to Mutsumi-chan.
[05:16] ---
    That guitar sings so vibrantly.
[05:36] ---
    She practices for a long,
    long time every day.
[05:38] ---
    They're always together.
[05:40] ---
    Mutsumi-chan finally found something
    that belongs only to her.
[05:45] ---
    I want to sing too.
[05:51] ---
    Sing with me! Let me speak up!
[06:02] ---
    I...can't do it.
[06:04] ---
    But the gods are cruel.
[06:07] ---
    They didn't give Mutsumi-chan the
    ability to let her guitar sing.
[06:10] ---
    Wow, amazing! Tomori-chan's song was so good!
[06:16] ---
    Taki-chan's drumming is so cool!
[06:19] ---
    Soyo-chan's tone is always so gentle.
[06:22] ---
    And Sakiko-chan.
[06:24] ---
    Sakiko-chan...
[06:27] ---
    Let me sing too, please?
[06:30] ---
    It would make me so happy!
[06:33] ---
    I can't sing.
[06:35] ---
    I can't do it.
[06:37] ---
    So, enjoying the band or whatever...
[06:42] ---
    I can't think like that either...
[06:44] ---
    I am quitting CRYCHIC.
[06:52] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[06:56] ---
    I can't feel the joy of being in a band.
[06:59] ---
    It's because I'm terrible at it.
[07:03] ---
    I can't make the guitar sing.
[07:05] ---
    Mutsumi, lost her directions.
[07:09] ---
    I'm the one who ruined CRYCHIC.
[07:14] ---
    Filled with despair, she curled into herself.
[07:25] ---
    Did you see Mutsumi-chan in Mujica?
[07:28] ---
    I did! Her acting was amazing!
[07:36] ---
    At least it's resolved now. Thank goodness.
[07:38] ---
    Uika...
[07:41] ---
    I don't want the audience to think
    that's what Ave Mujica's world is like.
[07:45] ---
    I should've been more attentive to her.
[07:48] ---
    Normally, Mutsumi doesn't make
    mistakes during performances.
[07:52] ---
    Bringing her into this world,
[07:54] ---
    pushing her into this
    situation—that was me.
[07:57] ---
    I knew all along what
    kind of girl Mutsumi is.
[07:58] ---
    I've known since the beginning...
[08:01] ---
    Since the beginning...
[08:04] ---
    Oh, right! I have donuts here.
[08:06] ---
    Want to have some together?
[08:08] ---
    There are many flavors—chocolate,
    strawberry...
[08:11] ---
    Sorry, I still have things to do.
[08:19] ---
    Although sitting is just sitting,
    it comes in many forms.
[08:23] ---
    Do you want to immediately stand
    up and rush off somewhere?
[08:27] ---
    Or, after standing all day for
    work, do you finally get to sit?
[08:30] ---
    Or maybe, during an important audition,
    do you freeze up and sit stiffly?
[08:35] ---
    Performing requires being
    both delicate and bold.
[08:46] ---
    Ah, LAYER-senpai!
[08:48] ---
    Nyamu-chan!
[08:50] ---
    Are you heading to work?
[08:51] ---
    Yes, I have to go later.
[08:53] ---
    What about you, Nyamu-chan?
[08:54] ---
    I went to class—it was a special
    lecture I joined voluntarily.
[08:58] ---
    If I recall, you're
    majoring in acting, right?
[09:00] ---
    Attending class even on your
    day off—so impressive.
[09:01] ---
    Huh? Then how about rewarding
    me by appearing in my video?
[09:06] ---
    If the producer agrees.
[09:09] ---
    Yay!
[09:11] ---
    By the way, MASKING praised your drumming.
[09:15] ---
    She said she saw it on TV.
[09:16] ---
    No way! I've still got a long way to go!
[09:36] ---
    Oh, the video!
[09:38] ---
    Huh? How is it still uploading?
[09:41] ---
    What? It's so dark!
[09:50] ---
    Huh? What's this?! The view
    count is skyrocketing—
[09:53] ---
    Mortis immersive cosplay makeup.
[09:54] ---
    Collab with Mutsumi-chan, please.
[09:55] ---
    Mutsumi-chan herself doesn't appear in it?
[09:55] ---
    Ah...
[09:56] ---
    Do you hang out with Mortis regularly?
[09:57] ---
    As I expected...
[10:03] ---
    Honestly, at first, I thought she
    was using her parents' connections.
[10:06] ---
    After all, that's a kind of talent too—you
    should make use of everything you can.
[10:10] ---
    But still...
[10:17] ---
    Just sitting there and THAT alone?
    How does that even work...
[10:22] ---
    Muuko is a true genius.
[10:26] ---
    Good morning!
[10:29] ---
    Hm?
[10:38] ---
    Go-od mo-rning.
[10:44] ---
    Say, Muuko, don't you use social media?
[10:47] ---
    Let's add each other as friends.
[10:49] ---
    I don't use it.
[10:52] ---
    Really? Not even a secret account?
[10:56] ---
    Don't look so scared!
[10:58] ---
    I just want to get along with you, Muuko.
[11:01] ---
    Huh?
[11:02] ---
    Alright, alright, let's
    film a video for now—
[11:06] ---
    I can't. Saki will get mad.
[11:08] ---
    Huh?
[11:09] ---
    Ah...Sakiko is pretty strict.
[11:13] ---
    Then how about we both
    leave Mujica and go solo—
[11:15] ---
    I'm not leaving.
[11:16] ---
    Why not?
[11:18] ---
    Because she's about to fall apart.
[11:19] ---
    What?
[11:21] ---
    Saki—
[11:22] ---
    Huh?!
[11:23] ---
    If Mujica breaks, Saki will too...
[11:29] ---
    What are you talking about? Sakiko again?
[11:35] ---
    I want to become a multi-talented artist.
[11:39] ---
    For that, I'll do whatever it takes.
[11:41] ---
    If there's a chance, I'll grab it.
[11:43] ---
    If there isn't, I'll carve out my own way.
[11:45] ---
    That's why I joined Mujica.
[11:49] ---
    Are you satisfied with just
    staying as you are, Muuko?
[11:52] ---
    Isn't Sakiko obviously holding you back?
[11:56] ---
    At this rate, you'll both go down.
[11:59] ---
    Nyamu, why do you keep
    saying such awful things?
[12:03] ---
    Are you trying to trick Mutsumi
    with your one-sided arguments?
[12:06] ---
    Oh my, you heard that?
[12:08] ---
    If you don't want people to hear it,
    don't say it in the recording room.
[12:11] ---
    Well, I'm glad that I said it here.
[12:14] ---
    That way, you heard every
    single word, didn't you?
[12:17] ---
    If you're going to argue,
[12:18] ---
    please do it after practice is over.
[12:20] ---
    Oh, Umiko! How's that going?
[12:23] ---
    Which one?
[12:23] ---
    You know, the one mentioned in the email—
[12:27] ---
    The invitation to perform on the music show!
[12:29] ---
    I don't like Sakiko-chan!
[12:34] ---
    Just like Nyamu-chan said,
[12:37] ---
    because you always listen to Sakiko-chan,
[12:39] ---
    Mutsumi-chan is suffering so much.
[12:40] ---
    It's not good for her health!
[12:43] ---
    I... I just don't want her to break.
[12:48] ---
    You don't want the band to fall apart, right?
[12:51] ---
    But if this continues, Mutsumi-chan,
    you will break first.
[12:55] ---
    When you're feeling troubled, speak up!
[12:57] ---
    I'm so worried about Mutsumi-chan.
[13:02] ---
    Wakaba-san.
[13:04] ---
    Wakaba-san?
[13:06] ---
    Wakaba-san.
[13:08] ---
    Are you listening?
[13:11] ---
    We're discussing the music show.
[13:13] ---
    This time, we'll be appearing as guests.
[13:15] ---
    Amazing! It's a national
    broadcast during prime time.
[13:18] ---
    Minami-chan is such a goddess!
[13:20] ---
    I can't believe she helped us get introduced!
[13:22] ---
    The offer itself is fascinating, but...
[13:26] ---
    Didn't you read the email?
[13:30] ---
    The client has specific demands
    regarding the program.
[13:33] ---
    They want Mortis to recreate the performance
    from the first day of the tour.
[13:39] ---
    They're asking for the performance
    to be deliberately interrupted?
[13:42] ---
    On a music show, no less.
[13:43] ---
    That's like they're saying Ave
    Mujica's music isn't needed.
[13:47] ---
    You said it was a mistake before.
[13:49] ---
    Can you recreate it?
[13:54] ---
    There's no need to even think about it.
[13:55] ---
    We'll just refuse.
[13:57] ---
    Then what about the tour?
[13:58] ---
    The tour?
[13:59] ---
    We've received a lot of similar requests.
[14:02] ---
    The agency says
[14:03] ---
    they want to add the performance
    starting from the next regional tour.
[14:06] ---
    Of course, that's also—
[14:07] ---
    There's no reason to refuse, is there?
[14:09] ---
    We're finally in the spotlight—it's
    the natural next step.
[14:12] ---
    Isn't it a good opportunity
    for both Mujica and Muuko?
[14:15] ---
    This isn't what Mutsumi wants.
[14:18] ---
    Then we'll have to ask Muuko herself.
[14:20] ---
    Right?
[14:24] ---
    Mutsumi, what do you think?
[14:31] ---
    Mutsumi...?
[14:33] ---
    See? She hasn't said she
    doesn't want to perform.
[14:36] ---
    But she hasn't said she wants to either!
[14:38] ---
    This is about the direction of our band.
[14:41] ---
    We can't decide without Misumi-san present.
[14:43] ---
    Fine.
[14:50] ---
    Please be careful as you
    step and proceed slowly.
[14:54] ---
    I'm so excited!
    Please be careful as you step and proceed slowly.
[14:55] ---
    Do you think Mortis will perform?
    Please watch out for the tip of your umbrella.
[14:58] ---
    Say, aren't you going to perform?
[15:01] ---
    We won't.
[15:02] ---
    Why not?
[15:04] ---
    Does a band that takes their performances
    lightly even have a reason to exist?
[15:07] ---
    Huh? Of course they do.
[15:09] ---
    Responding to what's requested
    is what entertainment is about.
[15:13] ---
    If you only do what you want...
[15:15] ---
    What are you even trying to say?
[15:17] ---
    Do you even understand
    what the audience wants?
[15:33] ---
    Mujica is the best!
[15:35] ---
    Yeah, it is.
[15:35] ---
    But I really wanted to see
    Mutsumi-chan's performance.
[15:38] ---
    Ah... I know, right?
[15:43] ---
    Ignoring the audience's
    expectations—what's the point of that?
[15:45] ---
    This is such an important moment.
[15:47] ---
    Do you really think this is okay?!
[15:49] ---
    I think it's fine.
[15:50] ---
    How many times do I have to
    say it for you to understand?!
[15:52] ---
    Have you even looked at the audience?
[15:54] ---
    The guests are all downcast.
[15:55] ---
    They came in the rain,
[15:57] ---
    but they didn't see what they wanted!
[16:00] ---
    You two shouldn't be arguing here...
[16:02] ---
    Are you telling me to abandon
    the band's identity?
[16:04] ---
    I'm fine with not performing as a band.
[16:08] ---
    In the end, do we really have to be a band?
[16:10] ---
    What are you saying—
[16:11] ---
    Besides, Muuko herself
    hasn't even said anything.
[16:15] ---
    She said during the TV interview
    it wouldn't last long.
[16:17] ---
    Forget the band—
[16:18] ---
    Wasn't that practically saying
    she could even give up Mujica?
[16:21] ---
    That's—
[16:23] ---
    I won't let Mujica disband.
[16:25] ---
    Why are we even talking about disbanding?
[16:27] ---
    I never said anything about that!
[16:28] ---
    If a band member quits, it's
    basically the same as disbanding.
[16:31] ---
    It's also betraying the fans who support us.
[16:34] ---
    Didn't I already say we've
    betrayed them once before?
[16:37] ---
    Besides, don't act like it's so important—
[16:40] ---
    Uiko is so busy, you barely
    even come to practice, right?
[16:44] ---
    Isn't that completely irresponsible?
[16:47] ---
    And isn't this kind of irresponsible of you?
[16:49] ---
    How could you...
[16:50] ---
    Speaking of responsibility, shouldn't
    you, Yūtenji-san, practice more?
[16:54] ---
    Tomori, you need to practice
    more than anyone else.
[16:56] ---
    What have you been doing all this time?
[16:58] ---
    I've never thought Yūtenji-san
    lacked practice.
[17:01] ---
    Togawa-san, aren't you the one not
    paying attention to the members?
[17:05] ---
    That's...
[17:06] ---
    Don't say unnecessary things.
[17:07] ---
    Anyway, I can't accept this.
[17:11] ---
    Sorry, let's not argue.
[17:13] ---
    Let's calm down and talk this through.
[17:15] ---
    Wait! Let's talk this out!
[17:18] ---
    Attention passengers, the
    train on Platform 13...
[17:22] ---
    The 18:57 Hayabusa No. 40
    and Komachi No. 40 trains...
[17:24] ---
    There's no point in continuing this.
[17:27] ---
    Huh? I'm not done talking!
[17:35] ---
    Thank you for riding this train.
[17:37] ---
    Final stop: Tokyo. Now arriving at Tokyo.
[17:40] ---
    Please watch your step when
    getting off the train.
[17:44] ---
    Passengers with children, please mind the
    gap between the train and the platform.
[17:50] ---
    Hold your child's hand and watch your step.
[17:54] ---
    Wakaba-san, it's not that way...
[18:01] ---
    The doors are closing. Please keep
    backpacks away from the doors.
[18:05] ---
    Do not force your way onto the train.
[18:22] ---
    Can you go back first?
[18:34] ---
    How long are you going to follow me?
[18:37] ---
    Why don't you just say
    you don't want to do it?
[18:40] ---
    You want to play the guitar
    more than perform, don't you?
[18:42] ---
    But you...
[18:43] ---
    Whenever I speak up, I ruin everything.
[18:48] ---
    Stop playing innocent! Is this
    the time to worry about that?!
[18:51] ---
    If this continues, Mujica
    won't be Mujica anymore!
[18:54] ---
    Saki...
[18:55] ---
    You used to talk more.
[18:58] ---
    You used to smile more.
[19:00] ---
    Now you leave everything to me!
[19:02] ---
    Why?! Why aren't you on my side?!
[19:08] ---
    Mujica is...
[19:11] ---
    This world is all I have left!
[19:40] ---
    It's time for a commercial!
[19:42] ---
    Get a grip! This is a live broadcast.
[19:44] ---
    I'm only saying this because if we
    don't fix it now, it'll be too late.
[19:47] ---
    Are they arguing...?
[19:47] ---
    Let's just follow the director's instructions, okay?
    Isn't this bad?
[19:49] ---
    I thought we agreed we'd just play.
    Are they okay?
[19:50] ---
    I thought we agreed we'd just play.
    What are we supposed to do now?
[19:52] ---
    Didn't the directer agree reluctantly?
    Um...
[19:53] ---
    Let's not bring this up now.
[19:54] ---
    It's not finalized yet. I can't accept this!
    Mujica will fall apart.
[19:56] ---
    It's not finalized yet. I can't accept this!
[19:57] ---
    It's not finalized yet. I can't accept this!
    Again...it's my fault.
[19:58] ---
    You don't have to accept it.
    Again...it's my fault.
[20:00] ---
    Huh?
    Again...it's my fault.
[20:11] ---
    It's painful, isn't it?
[20:14] ---
    It hurts, doesn't it?
[20:20] ---
    I'm the only one standing
    on Mutsumi-chan's side.
[20:40] ---
    Mortis...
[20:55] ---
    The commercial is ending!
[20:57] ---
    Five seconds until we go live!
[20:59] ---
    Four.
[21:00] ---
    Three.
[21:04] ---
    Every awakening brings rebirth.
[21:08] ---
    Only eternal death will bring no awakening.
[21:14] ---
    Let me weave a cradle for you.
[21:18] ---
    A lullaby wrapped in velvety
    darkness, like a coffin.
[21:22] ---
    Gently enclosing you, guiding
    you into dreams unaware.
[21:29] ---
    What's happening?
[21:31] ---
    I don't know...
[21:37] ---
    So, there's no need to worry.
[21:39] ---
    Mutsumi...?
[21:41] ---
    Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
[21:45] ---
    Is this sleep, or is it death?
[21:49] ---
    At least, may it be at peace.
