Boogiepop and Others
Takeda Keiji was waiting for his girlfriend and junior in school, Miyashita Touka. But she doesn't show up at the time they agreed on and he can't get a hold of her. The sun starts to set and Takeda decides to give up and head home. But then, he sees a man unsteadily wandering around with tears in his eyes. Takeda and the other people around him quickly realize the man is not normal and decide to ignore him when a mysterious figure approaches the man. A mysterious figure wearing a cape and a bizarre hat. That figure happened to have the same face as Touka, the girlfriend who ditched Takeda...

    Oh, hey. It's Takeda-senpai.
[02:20] Saotome
    What are you up to?
[02:22] Takeda
    I'm waiting for someone.
[02:27] Saotome
    Remember, no dating allowed, Senpai.
[02:31] Takeda
    Look who's talking.
[02:34] Akiko
    I wonder if he got dumped.
[02:38] Takeda
    Probably.
[03:13] Boogiepop
    None of you feel anything
    when you see someone crying?
[03:18] Boogiepop
    Unbelievable.
[03:21] Boogiepop
    So this is what you call a civilized society?
[03:26] Takeda
    Miyashita?
[03:53] Naoko
    Mornin', Keiji.
[03:54] Naoko
    How was your date yesterday?
[03:57] Naoko
    Huh?
[03:59] Naoko
    Wow, you look down.
[04:03] Naoko
    Got it
[04:03] Naoko
    I'm here
    
    Where are you?
    
    Did something happen?
    Are you okay?
    
    I'm gonna head home
[04:04] Naoko
    I mean, people just flake out sometimes.
[04:09] Takeda
    I can't even get a hold of Miyashita, though.
[04:11] Naoko
    W-Well, girls her age are going
     through a lot, y'know?
[04:18] Takeda
    Like showing up in town
    wearing a really weird outfit?
[04:21] Naoko
    Huh?
[04:23] Takeda
    Never mind. It's nothing.
[04:29] Kei
    Senpai!
[04:30] Kei
    You're late.
[04:33] Takeda
    Actually, I'd say Kamikishiro's
    here earlier than usual.
[04:37] Naoko
    I had something to take care of.
[04:39] Kei
    Sure, that's fine, but you'd better hurry.
[04:43] Naoko
    Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Kei.
[04:48] Kei
    Senpai! Remember, we have
    a committee meeting today!
[04:57] Naoko
    I think she likes you, Keiji.
[04:59] Takeda
    Nah.
[05:01] Naoko
    "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
[05:04] Takeda
    You're in a good mood. I take it things are
    going well with that first-year, Tanaka?
[05:10] Naoko
    But of course!
[05:16] Girl A
    Miyashita-san isn't here today.
[05:19] Takeda
    I see...
[05:21] Teach
    Since the beginning of this school year,
[05:24] Teach
    there have now been a total of four female
    students who have run away from home.
[05:29] Teach
    If you know of any students who might
    know something, let us know immediately.
[05:35] Teach
    I'm sure these girls have told
    their friends where they're going.
[05:39] Teach
    Also, that Kirima Nagi girl
    didn't show up again today.
[Messenger] [05:43] Teach
    Miyashita Touka
[05:43] Teach
    I'm here
    
    Where are you?
    
    Did something happen?
    Are you okay?
    
    I'm gonna head home
[05:43] Teach
    Sorry, I wasn't feeling
    well yesterday
[05:44] Teach
    Who knows what that delinquent
    gets up to when we can't see her?
[05:47] Teach
    I know none of you want
    to be involved with her...
[05:49] Boogiepop
    There's no need to be rough.
(Flashback) [05:53] Boogiepop
    Look, he's shaking.
(Flashback) [05:57] Cop A
    Who are you?
(Flashback) [06:08] Cop B
    Hey! What did you just do?
(Flashback) [06:12] Cop B
    H-Hey, wait!
(Flashback) [06:14] Cop B
    Hold it!
[06:20] Teach
    Next, regarding the use of
    smartphones at school...
[06:25] Teach
    It appears there are some
    students sneaking around
[06:28] Teach
    using those "social media"
    things on their phones...
[06:38] Kei
    Are you worried about Miyashita-san?
[06:43] Takeda
    Well, yeah.
[06:46] Takeda
    But girls her age are going
    through a lot, right?
[06:53] Kei
    You're pretty mature, Senpai.
[06:58] Kei
    Your eyes are locked on
    your future and dreams,
[07:01] Kei
    and nothing else matters.
[07:04] Takeda
    Not really. I'm just...
[07:17] Takeda
    Miyashita?
[07:19] Takeda
    Sorry. You go on ahead!
[07:22] Kei
    Huh?
[07:38] Takeda
    Miyashita...
[07:44] Takeda
    Is that you?
[07:48] Boogiepop
    You must be...
[07:50] Boogiepop
    one of Miyashita Touka's friends.
[07:54] Boogiepop
    Well, now I feel bad.
[07:57] Boogiepop
    It seems like she ended up
    ignoring you yesterday, too.
[08:01] Takeda
    What's going on, Miyashita?
[08:03] Takeda
    Are you messing with me?
[08:07] Takeda
    Say something. Come on!
[08:10] Boogiepop
    First of all, I'm not Miyashita Touka.
[08:14] Boogiepop
    Right now, I'm Boogiepop.
[08:17] Takeda
    Boogie... pop?
[08:19] Boogiepop
    I guess the closest I can come to
    describing it is "split personalities."
[08:24] Boogiepop
    You understand that, right?
[08:26] Takeda
    Split personalities?
[08:29] Boogiepop
    None of you have realized
    it yet, but this school...
[08:36] Boogiepop
    No...
[08:37] Boogiepop
    Humanity itself is in danger.
[08:43] Boogiepop
    And that's why I've appeared.

     Incoming Call
[09:13] Touka
    I'm so sorry. You called me so many times...
[09:17] Takeda
    Yeah... How are you feeling?
[09:21] Touka
    I'm fine now.
[09:24] Takeda
    Say, Miyashita...
[09:26] Takeda
    Did you go anywhere yesterday?
[09:29] Touka
    Nope. I was asleep at home all day.
[09:32] Takeda
    Huh?
[09:33] Touka
    I didn't have any plans, so...
[09:36] Takeda
    I-I see...
[09:41] Boogiepop
    I told you. Miyashita Touka's memories
    will be corrected to whatever's convenient.
[09:49] Takeda
    Why?
[09:51] Boogiepop
    Who knows? Maybe because she
    doesn't want to feel any guilt?
[09:57] Boogiepop
    She probably doesn't want you to hate her.
[10:00] Takeda
    Hey, who or what are you?
[10:03] Takeda
    How long have you possessed her?
[10:06] Boogiepop
    That's a rude way of putting it.
[10:08] Boogiepop
    It's not like I'm here because I want to be.
[10:11] Takeda
    Then why are you here?
[10:13] Boogiepop
    I am automatic.
[10:17] Boogiepop
    When I detect adversity in my
    surroundings, I pop up naturally.
[10:22] Boogiepop
    That's why I'm called Boogiepop.
[10:28] Boogiepop
    I rise to the surface like an eerie bubble.
[10:32] Takeda
    What do you mean by "adversity"?
[10:36] Boogiepop
    A monster resides within this school.
[10:40] Boogiepop
    It's not doing much yet, but once it
    makes its move, the world is finished.
[10:47] Takeda
    Aren't you the monster here?
[10:49] Boogiepop
    I know. That's why I won't be here for long.
[10:56] Boogiepop
    Usually, I live quietly as Miyashita Touka,
[11:01] Boogiepop
    talking to you about love and such.
[11:04] Takeda
    Love? Come on...
[11:13] Takeda
    "Multiple personalities are suppressed
    possibilities that take on a life of their own.
SIGN    The Screams Within: Multiple Personality Disorder
[11:20] Takeda
    No matter how pathological it may be,
[11:22] Takeda
    or how destructive it may be to
    themselves or those around them,
[11:26] Takeda
    there is no good or evil
    within the possibility itself."
[11:38] Boogiepop
    A possibility that was suppressed, eh?
[11:42] Boogiepop
    I see. But in my case, I'm not exactly
    another possibility for Miyashita Touka.
[11:50] Takeda
    Then what are you?
[11:52] Boogiepop
    I'm this world's possibility.
[11:56] Boogiepop
    I don't have autonomy.
[11:59] Boogiepop
    Miyashita Touka may have hidden
    desires—or rather, possibilities,
[12:04] Boogiepop
    that may have given life to me.
[12:07] Boogiepop
    But that has nothing to do
    with me personally.
[12:11] Boogiepop
    The reason I'm here is because there's
    something I have to do... a mission.
[12:18] Takeda
    I don't really get it,
[12:20] Takeda
    but does this have to do with
    the danger humanity is facing?
[12:23] Boogiepop
    Yup.
[12:24] Takeda
    Why does it have to be you?
[12:28] Boogiepop
    Who knows? I'd like to
    know myself, to be honest.
[12:33] Boogiepop
    But... Could it be that you're trying to "fix" me?
[12:39] Takeda
    No... Actually, I don't know.
[12:42] Boogiepop
    You're a good person.
[12:46] Boogiepop
    I think I can see why
    Miyashita Touka likes you.
[12:51] Takeda
    Huh?
[12:55] Takeda
    Hey, Boogiepop...
[12:58] Takeda
    What's this monster like?
[13:03] Boogiepop
    You can't tell anyone else, no matter what.
[13:06] Takeda
    Yeah, I won't.
[13:09] Boogiepop
    It's a man-eater.
[13:14] Boogiepop
    Well, my time has reached its end for now.
[13:18] Boogiepop
    There isn't much point in
    my being here after school.
[13:23] Takeda
    Are you saying the monster's
    hiding among the students?
[13:29] Boogiepop
    Most likely.
[13:40] Girl B
    Apparently Kiyoi from Class F
    also saw Boogiepop.
[13:43] Girl C
    Another girl?
[13:44] Girl D
    Well, they only kill girls, right?
[13:47] Girl B
    Yeah. When a girl's at
    the height of her beauty,
[13:51] Girl B
    they'll come kill her
    before she can get ugly.
[13:54] Girl B
    That's what Boogiepop is.
[13:56] Girl C
    Wait, that means I'm in
     a lot of danger right now.
[13:58] Girl D
    Oh, please.
[13:59] Girl B
    I wonder what they look like.
[14:01] Girl C
    Aren't they supposed to be wearing
    a black hat and a black cape?
[14:04] Girl D
    What the heck? That sounds like a witch!
[14:07] Girl B
    Hey, what do you think, Suema?
[14:11] Suema
    Huh?
[14:12] Girl B
    Maybe she really is Boogiepop.
[14:16] Suema
    "She"?
[14:17] Girl C
    Kirima Nagi.
[14:19] Girl B
    Hey, you're an expert. What do you think?
[14:21] Suema
    You know, I'm not actually
    an expert on urban legends...
[14:26] Girl C
    If you know one murderer,
    you know 'em all, right?
[14:29] Girl C
    That's all Boogiepop is.
[14:31] Suema
    Well, it is pretty interesting...
SIGN    Where the Killer's Mind Changes
    Kirima Seiichi
[14:35] Girl B
    I know, right?
[14:37] Kyouko
    Hey, Suema... What's a murderer like?
[14:41] Kyouko
    Like, in real life.
[14:44] Suema
    What are they like?
[14:46] Suema
    I mean, there are all different kinds...
[14:48] Kyouko
    Well, if we had one in our
    class, who would it be?
[14:54] Suema
    Well...
[14:56] Suema
    They'd probably be weirdly obstinate,
    live in their own little world,
[15:00] Suema
    and seem a bit stubborn.
[15:03] Girl B
    I knew it! Kirima Nagi!
[15:05] Girl C
    I can see it.
[15:06] Girl D
    Oh, c'mon. I'm telling you,
    Boogiepop is a beautiful boy.
[15:13] Kyouko
    Hey... Do you really think
    Kirima Nagi is a murderer?
[15:21] Suema
    You keep asking me questions
    like that. Why? What's going on?
[15:28] Kyouko
    She threatened someone I know.
[15:31] Kyouko
    And ever since then,
    they've been totally different.
[15:35] Suema
    Threatened? You mean she mugged them?
[15:38] Kyouko
    No... It's nothing like that.
[15:45] Kyouko
    I think... I might get killed.
[15:49] Suema
    What?!
[15:51] Takeda
    Kamikishiro?
[15:53] Takeda
    You're sure she wasn't just late?
[15:55] Kei
    Yes. I heard the teachers talking earlier.
[16:00] Kei
    They said that she hasn't been home, either.
[16:03] Takeda
    That's...
[16:05] Kei
    Have you heard anything, Senpai?
[16:08] Takeda
    No, nothing.
[16:11] Kei
    I see.
[16:15] Kei
    I'm sorry to cut this short.
[16:18] Kei
    If you'll excuse me.
[16:21] Takeda
    S-Sure.
[16:28] Girl E
    I'm sure she's the same.
    She probably ran away, too.
[16:31] Takeda
    Why, though?
[16:33] Takeda
    I don't know about the others,
    but why would she run away?
[16:37] Girl F
    You're asking why?
[16:38] Takeda
    I mean... She always got good grades.
[16:42] Takeda
    She could get into her first-choice school, right?
[16:45] Girl G
    What's this, Takeda? Did you like Kamikishiro?
[16:48] Takeda
    That's not what this is about. But, I mean...
[16:54] Girl E
    I guess you just wouldn't understand, Takeda.
[16:57] Girl E
    I mean, I'm pretty sure I get it.
[17:00] Girl F
    You're not even taking
    entrance exams, Takeda.
[17:03] Girl G
    I'm pretty sure she's just
    trying to escape reality.
[17:07] Girl E
    Honestly, I'd love to run away if I could...
[17:11] Girl E
    But we're not irresponsible like Kamikishiro.
(Flashback) [17:31] Boogiepop
    None of you feel anything
    when you see someone crying?
(Flashback) [17:37] Boogiepop
    Unbelievable.
[17:54] Takeda
    Hey, can I ask you something?
[17:58] Boogiepop
    What is it?
[18:00] Takeda
    The first time I saw you... What did
    you say to that guy who was crying?
[18:05] Boogiepop
    Nothing special, really.
[18:07] Boogiepop
    I just told him what he needed to hear.
[18:10] Boogiepop
    Everyone needs some help
    when they're suffering.
[18:15] Takeda
    They need help?
[18:17] Takeda
    How can you tell when they do?
(Flashback) [18:20] Boogiepop
    He was crying. Doesn't that make it obvious?
[18:31] Takeda
    It isn't. Not to normal people like us.
[19:01] Boogiepop
    Hey.
[19:06] Takeda
    This feels weird.
[19:10] Takeda
    Is it really you?
[19:12] Boogiepop
    Yeah.
[19:14] Takeda
    Where's your usual costume?
[19:16] Boogiepop
    It's not necessary anymore.
[19:19] Takeda
    Huh? What do you mean?
[19:22] Boogiepop
    The danger is gone.
[19:24] Takeda
    Huh?
[19:26] Boogiepop
    This is goodbye, Takeda-kun.
[19:29] Takeda
    H-Hey, wait a sec.
[19:32] Takeda
    That's really sudden...
[19:34] Boogiepop
    It's out of my hands.
[19:36] Boogiepop
    Once the danger is gone, I disappear.
[19:38] Boogiepop
    That's all there is to my existence.
[19:41] Takeda
    Danger?
[19:43] Boogiepop
    Thank you, Takeda-kun.
[19:46] Boogiepop
    The time I got to spend with you was fun.
[19:50] Boogiepop
    Before I met you, all I ever did was fight.
[19:54] Boogiepop
    You might be the first person
    I can actually call a friend.
[19:58] Takeda
    Weren't you going to defeat
    the monster in this school?
[20:02] Boogiepop
    Yes, but they've already been defeated.
[20:05] Boogiepop
    I just wasn't the one who did it.
[20:07] Takeda
    Don't lie to me!
[20:09] Boogiepop
    It's not a lie.
[20:10] Takeda
    It is a lie!
[20:12] Takeda
    You're going to protect this
    world from danger, right?
[20:15] Takeda
    This world hasn't been saved at all!
[20:27] Boogiepop
    Takeda-kun,
[20:29] Boogiepop
    a world where you can't dream
    or think about the future...
[20:33] Boogiepop
    A world like that is wrong.
[20:37] Boogiepop
    But sadly, I'm not the one
    who can fight against that.
[20:42] Boogiepop
    That's something you must face yourselves.
[20:45] Boogiepop
    This world is filled with
    mistakes, Takeda-kun.
[20:53] Takeda
    Don't go... We're friends, aren't we?
[20:58] Takeda
    Please don't go.
[21:14] Touka
    You're late, Takeda-senpai!
[21:19] Takeda
    Y-Yeah... Sorry.
[21:23] Touka
    Huh, so you were talking to
    your friend up on the roof?
[21:27] Takeda
    Yeah. He's a bit weird.
[21:35] Takeda
    Don't worry, it's fine.
[21:37] Kei
    Oh, are you heading home, Senpai?
[21:40] Takeda
    Yeah.
[21:41] Kei
    Dating is prohibited at school...
     but I'll let you off the hook this time.
[21:51] Nagi
    So you're Miyashita Touka.
[22:01] Nagi
    I'm Kirima Nagi. Nice to meet you.

[03:57] Kyouko
    She said it'd be fun,
[03:59] Kyouko
    and would make our minds feel lighter,
    so it'd be a breather from our exams.
[04:03] Suema
    Oh... I see.
[04:06] Kyouko
    Eventually, some of my friends
    ended up running away from home.
[04:11] Kyouko
    They all just disappear without
    saying a word to anyone.
[04:14] Kyouko
    And then Akiko disappeared, too.
[04:18] Kyouko
    You think this is really weird, right?
[04:20] Suema
    N-Not at all! Please, continue.
[04:23] Suema
    Things like that do happen...
[04:25] Kyouko
    I see...
[04:27] Kyouko
    So everyone started wondering
    if it was because of the drug.
[04:32] Kyouko
    Kirima Nagi started showing up around us,
[04:34] Kyouko
    just like she did with me earlier,
    telling us to forget about that drug.
[04:38] Kyouko
    I can't help but think Kirima Nagi got herself
    suspended on purpose so she could do that.
[04:45] Kyouko
    I'm sure Kirima Nagi got to
    Akiko and the others and...
[04:49] Kyouko
    Hey, Suema, are you listening?
[04:51] Suema
    Huh? Oh, yeah...
[04:53] Kyouko
    Promise me you won't tell anyone.
[04:55] Kyouko
    I'll forget about this, too.

[05:45] Nagi
    He's my little brother, though
    we're not blood-related.
[05:51] Nagi
    Let's talk upstairs, Suema-san.
[05:55] Suema
    So that's why the nameplate said "Taniguchi."
[05:57] Nagi
    Yeah, that's because of
    my mom's current husband.
[06:01] Nagi
    I'm still using my dad's last name.
[06:04] Suema
    Your father?
[06:06] Nagi
    Aren't you here because

[06:08] Nagi

[06:42] Nagi
    Ah... Why, huh?
[06:45] Suema
    Yes.
[06:46] Suema
    Why did you save Kyouko?
[06:51] Nagi
    I'm surprised you could tell
    that I actually saved her.
(Flashback) [06:57] Nagi
    Should I just break it off? It'd still take
    you a while to regenerate, Manticore!
(Flashback) [07:02] Suema
    Kirima-san?!
(Flashback) [07:03] Kyouko
    Ow, ow, ow! Stop!
(Flashback) [07:05] Nagi
    It's not just me. Echoes
    is also looking for you!
(Flashback) [07:08] Kyouko
    I won't do it again!
    I won't use the drug again!
(Flashback) [07:11] Nagi
    You've got some nerve saying that
    when you killed Kusatsu Akiko!
(Flashback) [07:15] Kyouko
    I don't know what you're talking about!
     I just got the drugs from her!
(Flashback) [07:19] Nagi
    Guess you're just a normal human.
(Flashback) [07:22] Suema
    Kyouko! Wh-What the heck is wrong with you?!
(Flashback) [07:26] Nagi
    I'm sure you prefer this over making
    it a public matter, Kinoshita.
[07:35] Suema
    Kyouko told me everything.
[07:39] Suema
    You saved those girls from
    that weird drug, didn't you?
[07:43] Nagi
    Yeah, I dunno about that.
[07:46] Suema
    Also, what are the "Manticore" and "Echoes"
    that you mentioned to Kyouko?
[07:50] Suema
    Do they have something to do
    with the kids who ran away?
[07:54] Nagi
    That has nothing to do with you.
[07:59] Nagi
    I have a messiah complex.
[08:03] Nagi
    A lot of stuff happened,
    and I quit being normal.
[08:09] Nagi
    Besides, someone's gotta do it.
[08:13] Nagi
    It's not like you can count on the teachers.
[08:16] Nagi
    Now... I'll walk with you a ways
     before it gets dark, Suema-san.
[08:29] Suema
    This is far enough. Thanks.
[08:32] Nagi
    Yeah? Well, see you tomorrow at school.
[08:37] Nagi
    Oh, my suspension's over tomorrow.
[08:40] Suema
    I see...
[08:42] Nagi
    Say, Suema-san...
[08:45] Nagi
    You shouldn't let your past
    hold you back for too long.

    If you get too obsessed,
    it'll end up a curse.

    Yeah, you're exactly right.

    Let's kill her!
[16:13] Minako
    Don't worry! I won't leave any evidence!
[16:15] Minako
    Besides, she's a weirdo,
    so even if she disappears—
[16:17] Saotome
    Don't you know? Her current
    parents are extremely wealthy,
[16:21] Saotome
    so if she goes missing, she won't be
    written off as a runaway delinquent.
[16:26] Minako
    Is that really the only reason?
[16:28] Saotome
    Huh?
[16:29] Minako
    Are you sure it's not because you like her?

    Hey, you're hurt!

    What happened?
(Flashback) [18:04] Naoko

(Flashback) [18:09] Naoko
    Well, this isn't getting anywhere.
     I guess I'll have to get the police—
(Flashback) [18:16] Naoko
    I see. I guess you have
    your reasons... Sorry.
(Flashback) [18:23] Naoko
    Don't worry. One of
    my friends is a weird one.
(Flashback) [18:27] Naoko
    I'm sure she'll help us.
(Flashback) [18:30] Naoko
    As long as you're not a bad guy.
(Flashback) [18:33] Nagi
    What? You're sheltering some guy?
(Flashback) [18:35] Naoko
    Shh! Not so loud!
(Flashback) [18:38] Nagi
    Don't worry, there's no one here.
(Flashback) [18:41] Nagi
    What about that first-year, Tanaka?
(Flashback) [18:44] Naoko
    Oh, no. This isn't like that.
(Flashback) [18:48] Naoko
    Hey, if I told you that he came
    from space, would you believe me?
(Flashback) [18:54] Nagi
    Well, I guess. Since you're
    the one telling me.
(Flashback) [18:58] Nagi
    So why'd he come here all
    the way from outer space?
(Flashback) [19:01] Naoko
    To test humanity. Apparently there's
    a vast will like that in space.
(Flashback) [19:07] Nagi
    This all sounds intense.
    Not that I really get it.
(Flashback) [19:11] Naoko
    Apparently he was supposed
    to conduct his investigation
(Flashback) [19:14] Naoko
    by blending into society as one of us,
(Flashback) [19:16] Naoko
    but I guess he accidentally
    evolved too much.
(Flashback) [19:21] Naoko
    Then he got captured by the
    government or some organization
(Flashback) [19:24] Naoko
    that wanted to take
    advantage of his powers...
(Flashback) [19:26] Naoko
    They gave him the name Echoes
    and even made a copy of him.
(Flashback) [19:31] Nagi
    Echoes?
(Flashback) [19:32] Naoko
    Yeah. He can only repeat what other
    people say, so he's called Echoes.
(Flashback) [19:38] Nagi
    For someone who's so evolved,
    that's pretty unfortunate.
(Flashback) [19:41] Naoko
    That's not true.
(Flashback) [19:43] Naoko
    Because Echoes just came to Earth to find
    out if humans are genuinely kind or not.
(Flashback) [19:48] Naoko
    He doesn't need to say anything
    just for someone to be kind to him.
(Flashback) [19:54] Naoko
    But apparently his clone ended up
     becoming a terrifying man-eater.
(Flashback) [20:00] Naoko
    They killed everyone in
    the lab and ran away.
(Flashback) [20:04] Nagi
    So this Echoes feels responsible and
    is trying to track down this clone?
(Flashback) [20:09] Nagi
    How did you even get all
    this information, anyway?
(Flashback) [20:14] Nagi
    Echoes can't talk, right?
(Flashback) [20:16] Naoko
    I just had this feeling.
(Flashback) [20:18] Naoko
    It felt like our minds were linked.
(Flashback) [20:22] Nagi
    So you want me to find this clone?
(Flashback) [20:27] Nagi
    Okay, where's Echoes right now?
(Flashback) [20:30] Naoko
    At school. I thought that might
    actually be the safest spot.
(Flashback) [20:34] Naoko
    Don't tell anyone, okay?
(Flashback) [20:37] Nagi
    Well, then, I'll just have to get
    myself suspended soon.
(Flashback) [20:42] Naoko
    Thanks, Nagi.
[20:56] Saotome
    Don't worry, Manticore.
    Everything's still in our favor.
[21:04] Saotome
    You disposed of Kamikishiro Naoko's corpse.
[21:08] Saotome
    There shouldn't be any problems.
[21:10] Saotome
    Everyone will just think she's another
    girl who randomly disappeared.
(Flashback) [21:18] Naoko
    Hey, Nagi, when Echoes
    goes back home to space,
(Flashback) [21:21] Naoko
    how do you think he'll present us
    humans to the rest of the universe?
(Flashback) [21:26] Naoko
    Do you think he'll say, "Don't worry.
    They're wonderful creatures"?
(Flashback) [21:31] Nagi
    As long as you're nice to him, yeah.
(Flashback) [21:34] Nagi
    Otherwise, we're doomed.
(Flashback) [21:37] Naoko
    I hope he does.
[21:56] Nagi
    Naoko disappeared. I can't find her anywhere.
[22:04] Nagi
    Damn it. Say something, Echoes.

    Well, I guess that's probably
    also our fastest option...
[05:38] Kei
    All right. I'll let the teacher yell at me.
[05:42] Saotome
    You're the best, President!
[05:49] Kei
    Kirima Nagi-san of 2-D,
[05:51] Kei
    please report to the
    broadcast room immediately.
[05:54] Kei
    We'd like to speak with you
    regarding Kamikishiro Naoko-san.
[05:58] Kei
    Kirima Nagi-san, we'd like to speak
    with you about Kamikishiro Naoko-san.
[06:02] Kei
    Please report to the
    broadcast room immediately.
[06:11] Nagi
    Echoes, do you sense Manticore at all?
[06:17] Nagi
    Why? Because this is a trap?
[06:23] Nagi
    That's even more reason to go, then.
[06:25] Nagi
    If we don't fall for it, she's gonna run.
[06:28] Nagi
    Then we won't be able to chase her anymore.
[06:39] Echoes
    Which are they?
[06:42] Tanaka
    She's not coming.
[06:45] Kei
    The teacher didn't show up, either.
[06:47] Kei
    I wonder what happened.
[06:50] Tanaka
    Maybe Kirima-san's not on
     school grounds anymore.
[06:53] Saotome
    No, she's definitely here. I'm sure of it.
[06:57] Saotome
    Let's try another broadcast.
[07:00] Tanaka
    The power's out?
[07:01] Saotome
    Tch. Must be the breakers.
[07:18] Saotome
    Kirima-san! What's the meaning of this?!
[07:22] Nagi
    That's nothing you need to know.
[07:25] Kei
    Kirima-san...
[07:28] Nagi
    She's not one of them, Echoes?
[07:33] Echoes
    She's not...
[07:35] Kei
    Who's that?
[07:36] Nagi
    It also doesn't seem like they've
     been modified in any way.
[07:39] Nagi
    Okay... Sorry about this.
[07:42] Nagi
    You guys are clean.
[07:44] Nagi
    You can go home now.
[07:48] Kei
    Hey, I don't get what's going on here!
[07:51] Kei
    Who is this guy?
[07:52] Kei
    He doesn't go to our school, does he?!
[07:55] Nagi
    Niitoki-san.
[07:57] Nagi
    I can guess about the other two, 
    but what are you doing here?
[08:01] Kei
    That's my line! What in
    the world is going on?!
[08:05] Tanaka
    Y-Yeah! We're just looking
    for Kamikishiro-san!
[08:12] Nagi
    I'm worried about Naoko, too.
[08:14] Kei
    That's why I'm asking
    you to explain what's—
[08:21] Kei
    Th-Thanks...
[08:24] Nagi
    I'd like you to keep quiet
     about seeing us here.
[08:27] Nagi
    For your own sakes, as well.
[08:30] Kei
    What?!
[08:30] Kei
    After you did all this to us? Yeah, right!
[08:35] Tanaka
    Is Kamikishiro-san okay?
[08:38] Kei
    I'm an acquaintance of Naoko-san's!
[08:41] Kei
    If you know something, tell us!
[08:43] Kei
    We can help, too!
[08:45] Nagi
    No, you can't.
[08:48] Kei
    Why not?!
[08:50] Nagi
    This isn't normal.
[08:53] Nagi
    Someone eccentric like me
    has to take care of it.
[09:00] Saotome
    So normal's not good enough again?
(Flashback) [09:05] Nagi
    You're normal, right?
(Flashback) [09:08] Nagi
    Getting involved with someone
     like me will bring you trouble.
(Flashback) [09:12] Nagi
    Sorry.
[09:19] Nagi
    Shirou-kun, right?
[09:21] Nagi
    You should probably just forget about Naoko.
[09:24] Tanaka
    Why?!
[09:27] Kei
    Hey, what's your problem, anyway?!
[09:30] Kei
    I don't know what your deal is, but quit
    acting like you're dealing with this all alone!
[09:35] Saotome
    Chill out, Niitoki-san.
[09:37] Kei
    But...
[09:39] Saotome
    What can we do?
[09:41] Saotome
    Kirima-san must have her own reasons.
[09:45] Saotome
    Right, Kirima-san?
[09:49] Saotome
    I understand.
[09:52] Saotome
    Yes...
[09:54] Saotome
    We just can't be satisfied
    with normal people...
[09:58] Nagi
    What are you talking about?
[10:01] Saotome
    I'm just thinking
[10:02] Saotome
    about how I'm actually glad
    you ended up rejecting me.
[10:07] Saotome
    I mean, if I'd ended up with you,
[10:11] Saotome
    I would've been her enemy if I'd met her.
[10:16] Nagi
    Again, what do you mean by that?
[10:19] Saotome
    I'm saying...
[10:20] Saotome
    For me, you're the one
    on the normal side now.
[10:30] Saotome
    And now... you're our enemy.
[10:37] Nagi
    Mantico—
[11:01] Saotome
    After him!
[11:02] Saotome
    You can actually defeat him now!
[11:27] Saotome
    I was actually hoping to get killed myself...
[11:31] Saotome
    But this was pretty
    pleasurable in its own way.
[11:46] Saotome
    Being the killer myself...
[11:49] Saotome
    I think I could get used to it.
[12:02] Echoes
    Which are you?
[12:25] Minako
    You're not getting away!
[12:46] Saotome
    Very nice, Niitoki-san.
[12:49] Saotome
    I love your eyes.
[12:51] Saotome
    I love powerful, strong-willed eyes like yours.
[12:56] Kei
    Who are you people?
[12:58] Kei
    Yurihara Minako...
[13:01] Kei
    What was that thing?!
[13:03] Saotome
    The real Yurihara is already dead.
[13:05] Kei
    Huh?
[13:07] Saotome
    She's Manticore now.
[13:09] Kei
    Manticore?
[13:11] Saotome
    A man-eater.
[13:13] Kei
    Huh?
[13:14] Kei
    Then... all of the people
    who've disappeared recently...
[13:19] Saotome
    Yeah, most of them.
[13:21] Kei
    I see. That's why Kirima-san was searching
    for you two this whole time...
[13:28] Saotome
    She's a fool.
[13:30] Saotome
    She was helping out Echoes,
[13:33] Saotome
    but never figured her enemy might
    have someone helping her as well.
[13:47] Minako
    That's enough, Saotome-kun.
[13:49] Minako
    I'll take it from here.
[13:51] Saotome
    You sure?
[14:00] Kei
    Are you all right?
[14:05] Minako
    There's no point in asking him for help.
[14:08] Minako
    He's going to die.
[14:10] Saotome
    There was poison in that pen
[14:12] Saotome
    to prevent him from using
    his regenerative powers.
[14:16] Saotome
    He sure wasn't much of a threat,
    despite being your original.
[14:21] Minako
    Yes. He's supposed to be stronger.
[14:24] Saotome
    To be honest, Kirima Nagi
    caused us more trouble.
[14:29] Minako
    That's why I'll be taking her form, right?
[14:31] Minako
    She's the perfect disguise.
[14:35] Minako
    I'm sure you feel that way
    as well, Saotome-kun.
[14:42] Kei
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[14:44] Minako
    Hm?
[14:45] Minako
    I'm going to get rid of this
    body and become Kirima Nagi.
[14:49] Kei
    Huh?
[14:50] Minako
    Don't worry. You won't
    officially be dead to society.
[14:55] Minako
    You'll be modified and
    continue to live as a slave.
[14:59] Kei
    A slave?
[15:00] Minako
    Yes. You'll be a walking corpse.
[15:04] Minako
    Your soul will be gone. You won't even feel
    anything when you see the boy you love.
[15:13] Kei
    You two are demons!
[15:16] Echoes
    De... mons...
[15:21] Echoes
    I wonder which ones the humans are...
[15:25] Minako
    Demons? That's perfectly fine with me.
[15:28] Minako
    I was never human to begin with,
[15:30] Minako
    and Saotome-kun is nothing
    like you foolish humans.
[15:35] Kei
    Humans are foolish?
[15:38] Kei
    He and I might die here,
[15:41] Kei
    but there will be others who find
    you unforgivable, just like me!
[15:46] Kei
    No matter where you go,
    someone will find you!
[15:54] Echoes
    Humans...
[16:04] Minako
    What are you planning?
[16:05] Minako
    Still trying to do something?
[16:13] Echoes
    I shall transform my body
    into information
[16:17] Echoes
    and transmit myself back to the source.
[16:35] Kei
    What? What just happened?
[16:38] Minako
    Echoes...
[16:59] Minako
    I'll kill you...
[17:01] Minako
    I'll kill every last one of you!
[17:32] Boogiepop
    I had no problem severing your arm,

    M-Miyashita-san?
[17:43] Boogiepop
    Right now, I'm Boogiepop.
[17:46] Boogiepop
    Manticore, was it?
[17:48] Boogiepop
    You seem to be stronger than humans,
[17:53] Boogiepop
    but I am free to use the dormant strength
    that humans harbor subconsciously.
[18:04] Boogiepop
    Now, Shirou-kun!
(Flashback) [18:10] Boogiepop
    If you had the opportunity
    to shoot through the truth,
(Flashback) [18:15] Boogiepop
    do you think you have the resolve to do it?
[18:35] Tanaka
    Are you all right?
[18:37] Kei
    Y-Yeah... But...
[18:40] Tanaka
    Do you know them?
[18:42] Kei
    I... I do, but...
[18:48] Boogiepop
    I'd like you to help me out just a bit more.
[18:57] Kei
    Kirima-san!
[18:58] Boogiepop
    Echoes shared some of his life with you...
[19:02] Boogiepop
    Looks like you've escaped death again.
[19:06] Boogiepop
    Manticore said that Echoes
    was too weak, and this is why.
[19:15] Boogiepop
    Hey there, Fire Witch.
[19:17] Nagi
    You again...
[19:19] Nagi
    If you were out, you
    should've shown up sooner.
[19:23] Boogiepop
    Come now, don't be like that.
[19:28] Nagi
    Is it over?
[19:29] Boogiepop
    Yes.
[19:31] Boogiepop
    Due to the sacrifice that Echoes made
    and the bravery those two showed.
[19:40] Nagi
    I see...
[19:44] Kei
    I'm guessing that in the end,
    it'll be like nothing ever happened...
[19:49] Nagi
    Yeah.
[19:53] Kei
    So you think that Naoko-san...
[19:58] Nagi
    Probably.
[20:01] Tanaka
    Thank you very much.
[20:04] Tanaka
    I'm not sure how to say it,
[20:06] Tanaka
    but I think I'm supposed to thank
    you in Kamikishiro-san's place.
[20:15] Kei
    I wonder who they really were.
[20:18] Nagi
    Who knows? Although, Naoko did
    say that Echoes was an angel.
[20:23] Kei
    An angel?
[20:25] Nagi
    He was ordered by God in Heaven to go
    down to Earth and pass final judgment on
[20:30] Nagi
    whether humanity should be
    allowed to live or be destroyed.
[20:34] Nagi
    To judge whether humans were good or evil.
[20:41] Nagi
    If that's true... It looks like
    he let us off the hook this time.
[20:47] Kei
    Then the one who saved the world was...
[20:50] Nagi
    Yeah.
[20:51] Nagi
    And we can't even thank her now...
[20:59] Kei
    I wonder what Boogiepop thinks about this.
[21:02] Nagi
    Who knows? Why not ask them yourself?
[21:06] Nagi
    I doubt they remember anything, though.
[21:21] Takeda
    Don't worry, it's fine.
[21:22] Kei
    Oh, are you heading home, Senpai?
[21:25] Takeda
    Yeah.
[21:26] Kei
    Dating is prohibited at school...
     but I'll let you off the hook this time.
[21:37] Nagi
    So you're Miyashita Touka.
[21:42] Nagi
    I'm Kirima Nagi. Nice to meet you.
[21:49] Touka
    Nice to meet you!
[22:00] Suiko
    The end of the beginning is also
    the beginning of the end, Boogiepop.

    It's a shame, to be honest.

    In the end, you're also stuck in the present.
(Flashback) [00:17] Suiko
    It's truly a shame.

    But no matter how long you wait,
    I'm pretty sure nothing will begin.

(Flashback) [00:34] Boogiepop
    It appears that, unlike

(Flashback) [00:39] Boogiepop
    I guess you're still automatic.
(Flashback) [00:43] Boogiepop
    Either way, you're finished.
    There's nothing left for you.
(Flashback) [00:48] Suiko
    But nothing's even started yet.
(Flashback) [00:51] Suiko
    I don't even have a name yet.
(Flashback) [00:56] Boogiepop
    In that case, I'll give you one now.
(Flashback) [00:59] Boogiepop
    Kirima Nagi's father called beings
    like yourself "Imaginators."

    "Love is like snow that falls in April.

    There are times when I suddenly
    wake up in the middle of the night.
[03:30] Sawako
    There's something sitting on my chest,
    and it feels like it's staring into me.
[03:36] Sawako
    But when I open my eyes...
[03:39] Jin
    Ah... There's nothing there, correct?
[03:42] Sawako
    I mean, I know it's probably
    just a dream, but...
[03:47] Jin
    Whatever this thing is...
    Does it try to talk to you?
[03:51] Sawako
    Yes! How did you know?
[03:54] Jin
    Do you remember what it said?
[03:57] Sawako
    No, I don't...
[03:59] Jin
    So you can't remember.
[04:03] Jin
    She doesn't have any roots.
[04:05] Jin
    Barely any leaves, either.
[04:07] Jin
    Only the bud is large...
[04:10] Sawako
    I'm sorry for talking to you
    about something so weird.
[04:12] Jin
    And it's almost breaking the stem.
[04:16] Sawako
    Um, Asukai-sensei?
[04:18] Jin
    I probably shouldn't say this,
[04:21] Jin
    but I don't think you should
    be taking exams so seriously.
[04:24] Sawako
    Huh?
[04:25] Jin
    It's not like your problems will be
    gone once you get into university.
[04:29] Jin
    It doesn't exactly secure your future, either.
[04:32] Jin
    I'm sure you probably realize that.
[04:35] Jin
    I believe that dream is a sign
[04:37] Jin
    your subconscious is sending you, saying
    you should reconsider entering university.
[04:45] Sawako
    Right...
[04:46] Jin
    Wanting to get into college
    isn't a bad thing at all.
[04:50] Jin
    But you shouldn't stress
    yourself out over it.
[04:54] Sawako
    I think... I understand.
[04:58] Jin
    Looks like the bud has relaxed a little.
[05:02] Sawako
    Thank you very much.

    Oh, sorry. That was probably rude...
[05:21] Jin

[05:33] Sawako
    Well, that's the one thing

[05:37] Sawako
    But I'm sure it's not that important.
[05:40] Sawako
    Goodbye!
[05:44] Jin
    Sometimes it snows in April, huh?
[05:50] Jin
    Ever since I was born,
[05:52] Jin
    I've had the power to see what
    people are missing in their hearts.
[05:57] Jin
    There was a book I read
    as a kid with the line,
[06:00] Jin
    "The reason this child was beautiful was
    because he had a rose within his heart,"
[06:05] Jin
    and that's precisely what I see.
[06:12] Jin
    However, every plant I see is missing something.
[06:17] Jin
    Just like that girl was lacking roots,
[06:19] Jin
    everyone is always lacking something.
[06:22] Jin
    There's nothing they can do
    about what they're missing,
[06:26] Jin
    so sometimes I try to
    say something helpful.
[06:30] Jin
    But in the end, all I know
    is what they're missing.
[06:33] Girl A
    Hey, it's snowing.
[06:35] Girl B
    You're right! It's so pretty!
[06:38] Jin
    And I can't see my own
    plant within me...
[06:46] Jin
    Huh?!
[06:48] Jin
    D-Don't!
[06:56] Jin
    What's going on?
[06:59] Suiko
    I'm sure it's no fun
[07:02] Suiko
    being able to see what others cannot.
[07:04] Jin
    What?!
[07:08] Suiko
    I understand how you feel.
[07:12] Suiko
    Because I used to be like that, too.
[07:15] Jin
    Y-You, too?
[07:16] Suiko
    Yes, because I can see people's deaths.
[07:20] Jin
    Their deaths?
[07:22] Suiko
    To be more precise,
[07:24] Suiko
    I can see the energy that living
    creatures generate right before
[07:28] Suiko
    they burn themselves out.
[07:31] Suiko
    I am a possibility in which
    people can manipulate death.
[07:35] Suiko
    My purpose is to recreate
     the world in that way.
[07:41] Suiko
    I am an enemy to the current world.
[07:44] Suiko
    I bring cold to the world even in
    the spring. I make it snow in April.
[07:49] Jin
    Huh?!
[07:51] Suiko
    Would you be willing to help me
    with my work, Asukai-sensei?
[07:56] Jin
    What are you talking about?
[07:57] Jin
    Who are you?
[08:00] Suiko
    My enemies call me "Imaginator."

    You haven't had dinner yet,
    have you, Jin-niisan?
[08:18] Jin
    Huh? Not yet.
[08:20] Kotoe
    Oh, good. I made some stew,
    so I'll bring some over later.
[08:23] Jin
    Okay, thanks.
[08:26] Kotoe
    You look exhausted today.
[08:29] Jin
    Yeah, well... It's about to get pretty busy.
[08:33] Kotoe
    Must be rough.
[08:36] Jin
    You talk as if it's not your problem,
[08:38] Jin
    but you'll be going through
    the same thing next year.
[08:41] Kotoe
    I'm not really sure yet...
[08:44] Kotoe
    Maybe I'll go to your prep school.
[08:47] Jin
    Since when were you interested
    in going to art school?
[08:50] Kotoe
    But you're also counseling kids, right?
[08:52] Jin
    Yeah. But most of the kids who
    come see me are pretty serious.
[08:59] Kotoe
    Hey! Are you trying to say I'm not serious?
[09:03] Kotoe
    I guess that is how I come off...
[09:07] Jin
    I'm kidding. You shouldn't come
    to me for counseling, to be honest.
[09:12] Kotoe
    Huh?
[09:13] Jin
    You should try to figure
    out your own problems.
[09:17] Jin
    Especially when it comes to exams...
    I'm a teacher, so I can't really say much.
[09:23] Jin
    There's actually very little I can do.
[09:26] Kotoe
    You worry way too much about others.
[09:30] Kotoe
    I think you can take it a little easier.
[09:38] Jin
    She's very thoughtful, kind,
    and overall, a good girl.
[09:43] Jin
    If only she had a bud...
[09:47] Jin
    Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better.
[09:51] Kotoe
    Nothing is ever futile. Everything works out!
[09:54] Kotoe
    There's always a way!
[09:56] Jin
    I wish I could think like that...
[09:59] Suiko
    However, that way...
[10:02] Suiko
    can be slightly cruel, and could even
    go against what the world sees as just.
[10:06] Suiko
    That's the thing.
[10:08] Jin
    Y-You're—
[10:10] Jin
    That hallucination from earlier!
    Were you actually a ghost?
[10:12] Suiko
    I wouldn't say that's accurate.
[10:15] Suiko
    I'd say I'm more a future that's
    taken form in the present.
[10:20] Suiko
    Or maybe a hypothetical
    possibility given substance.
[10:26] Suiko
    Asukai-sensei, don't you
    want to do something?
[10:31] Jin
    A-About what?
[10:33] Suiko
    About what people are
    missing in their hearts.
[10:37] Suiko
    What do you think you're
    missing, Asukai-sensei?
[10:42] Jin
    Huh?
[10:43] Suiko
    What you're missing... is a calling.
[10:46] Suiko
    I'll give you just a tiny
    glimpse into the future.
[11:04] Suiko
    What'd you think?
[11:05] Jin
    What was that?! What did you just show me?
[11:08] Suiko
    That is your calling, Asukai-sensei.
[11:11] Jin
    I'd never do anything like that!
[11:14] Suiko
    And whether you do or
    don't is solely up to you.
[11:17] Suiko
    But you can... and that truth won't change.
[11:22] Jin
    Don't be ridiculous! Who the hell are you?!
[11:24] Jin
    Are you a demon? Is that why you're trying to...
[11:26] Suiko
    Tempt you?
[11:28] Suiko
    No. You have to be the one to decide.
[11:31] Suiko
    Sometimes birds fall from the sky,
[11:34] Suiko
    and sometimes it even snows
    in April, Asukai-sensei.
[11:39] Jin
    G-Get away from me!
[11:41] Kotoe
    Wh-What?
[11:45] Jin
    Sorry! Are you okay?
[11:48] Kotoe
    Are you okay, Jin-niisan?

    Hm? O-Oh, yes.
[11:59] Jin
    You keep having the same dream, right?
[12:01] Girl
    Yes, where someone's talking to me.
[12:05] Girl
    When I listen to them,
[12:07] Girl
    I feel like exams and the rest of the
    world just don't matter anymore...
[12:12] Girl
    Is there something wrong with me?
[12:18] Girl
    Sensei? Asukai-sensei?
[12:20] Jin
    Huh? Oh...
[12:22] Girl
    Is something wrong?
[12:23] Jin
    No. Please continue.
[12:26] Girl
    That dream was just too nice...
[12:31] Girl
    And it... sort of scares me.
[12:46] Jin
    What the hell am I doing?
[12:51] Jin
    Imaginator...
[12:56] Cop
    So this girl assaulted you,
[13:00] Cop
    then she suddenly slit her
    own throat... Is that right?
[13:07] Jin
    Yes.
(Flashback) [13:11] Shizuko
    H-Help me...
(Flashback) [13:14] Jin
    Who is that?
(Flashback) [13:16] Jin
    Hey, is something wrong?
(Flashback) [13:18] Jin
    Wha... Are you all right?!
(Flashback) [13:21] Jin
    What's wrong?
(Flashback) [13:23] Shizuko
    Help... me.
(Flashback) [13:25] Shizuko
    Don't you dare scream, Asukai-sensei.
(Flashback) [13:28] Jin
    Huh?
(Flashback) [13:29] Shizuko
    I guess you're still a softie.
(Flashback) [13:32] Shizuko
    I figured you'd fall for this.
(Flashback) [13:36] Jin
    You're... You're Imazaki-kun.
(Flashback) [13:40] Shizuko
    You actually remember me.
(Flashback) [13:43] Shizuko
    Now, give me your cash. All of it!
(Flashback) [13:47] Jin
    Are you just going to buy more drugs with it?
(Flashback) [13:49] Jin
    What in the world happened to you?
(Flashback) [13:51] Shizuko
    That doesn't freakin' matter! Just hurry
     up and give me all your money!
[13:56] Cop
    So you knew the girl?
[13:59] Jin
    Yes. Her name is Imazaki Shizuko.
[14:02] Jin
    She was a student of mine,
    and a very good one.
[14:07] Cop
    Can you think of any reason why
    she'd have a grudge against you?
[14:11] Jin
    There might be.
[14:13] Cop
    Although, from what we found out, this
    apparently stemmed from family issues.
[14:19] Jin
    It's probably because when she asked
    for advice, I couldn't help her.
(Flashback) [14:27] Shizuko
    Come on! Hurry up!
(Flashback) [14:28] Shizuko
    If you don't want to die,
    give me your money!
(Flashback) [14:31] Jin
    If you're going to kill me, just do it.
(Flashback) [14:32] Shizuko
    I'm serious, damn it!
(Flashback) [14:34] Jin
    And so am I!
(Flashback) [14:36] Jin
    But you fell right into using drugs...
    What good could those possibly do?!
(Flashback) [14:43] Shizuko
    What the hell?
(Flashback) [14:45] Jin
    You can get high or whatever...
    But there's nothing we can do!
(Flashback) [14:53] Suiko
    Yup. Drugs.
(Flashback) [14:55] Suiko
    Oh, but these aren't for her.
(Flashback) [14:59] Jin
    You're...
(Flashback) [15:00] Suiko
    Don't get the wrong idea. Everything
    until now, she did of her own free will.
(Flashback) [15:07] Suiko
    But it's not like she really wanted to do this.
[15:12] Cop
    She was a dealer we'd been
    after for a different case.
[15:17] Jin
    So you knew about her?
[15:20] Cop
    Yeah. We had our eyes on her to get
    to a bigger target we were after.
(Flashback) [15:25] Suiko
    Say, what do you think these
    drugs are for, Asukai-sensei?
(Flashback) [15:29] Jin
    She was probably forced to sell them.
(Flashback) [15:31] Suiko
    Correct.
(Flashback) [15:32] Suiko
    These are cheap batches
    to get beginners hooked.
(Flashback) [15:35] Suiko
    There are so many other ways
     to make money quickly.
(Flashback) [15:40] Suiko
    But the poor thing... Looking this
    tattered, she couldn't even do that.
(Flashback) [15:46] Suiko
    All she could do to make money
    was obey someone else.
(Flashback) [15:50] Suiko
    But she couldn't bring herself to do that.
(Flashback) [15:54] Suiko
    It's such a sad story.
(Flashback) [15:56] Suiko
    She didn't want to create
    more people like herself,
(Flashback) [16:00] Suiko
    but there was nothing she could do.
(Flashback) [16:03] Suiko
    That's why she relied on you, because she
    remembered you were nice to her before.
[16:11] Jin
    So you knew, and yet...
[16:13] Cop
    There's nothing we can do
[16:15] Cop
    once they're that far gone.
(Flashback) [16:20] Suiko
    But you see, Asukai-sensei...
(Flashback) [16:22] Suiko
    Either way, this girl is finished.
(Flashback) [16:25] Jin
    What?!
(Flashback) [16:26] Suiko
    The drugs have destroyed her body.
(Flashback) [16:28] Suiko
    Even if she hadn't run into you,
    she wouldn't last the rest of the month.
(Flashback) [16:32] Suiko
    She was going to helplessly die...
    Pitiful, miserable, and sad.
(Flashback) [16:40] Suiko
    But there might be something that you can do.
[16:50] Cop
    I'm sure she had enough
    reason to kill herself.
[16:54] Jin
    Suicide?
[16:57] Cop
    Yeah. You can go home shortly.
[17:00] Cop
    Apparently, there's a witness.
[17:02] Jin
    Suicide...
(Flashback) [17:07] Shizuko
    Damn... it...
(Flashback) [17:09] Shizuko
    Damn it...
(Flashback) [17:11] Shizuko
    Damn it...
(Flashback) [17:14] Shizuko
    Damn...
[17:32] Cop
    Say, Asukai-san.
[17:34] Asukai
    Yes?
[17:35] Cop
    As you saw her dying...
    Did you say something to her?
[17:40] Asukai
    Why do you ask?
[17:41] Cop
    Well, despite the way she died, she had
    a very peaceful look upon her face.
[17:48] Cop
    Like all the thorns in her heart
    had been plucked away.
[17:53] Cop
    That's how she looked.
[17:56] Jin
    I see. I didn't say anything, though.
[18:06] Jin
    I guess I'm going to be busy from now on...
[18:12] Masaki
    Stop! She's got nothing to do with this!

[18:58] Jin
    be using you as guinea pigs.
[19:08] Boy C
    What... What the hell did you do to them?
[19:11] Jin
    You wouldn't get it even if I told you.
[19:13] Jin
    But I haven't hurt them.
[19:16] Jin
    I've actually given them happiness.
[19:19] Boy C
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[19:21] Boy C
    Who the hell are you?!
[19:23] Jin
    Oh, yeah...
[19:26] Jin
    Hey, what was that name again?
[19:29] Suiko
    Imaginator.
[19:31] Jin
    Yeah, let's go with that.
(Flashback) [19:51] Mariko
    Wow, that's such a pretty melody.
(Flashback) [19:57] Suiko
    If that sounded pretty,
(Flashback) [19:59] Suiko
    it's just because you were predisposed
     to like the song from the start.
[20:05] Mariko
    When she was still alive,
    Suiko-san used to always say...
[20:09] Suiko
    Komiya-san, nothing is
    absolute in this world.
[20:15] Suiko
    Sometimes birds fall from the sky,
[20:17] Suiko
    and sometimes it even snows in April.
[20:21] Mariko
    Suiko-san.
[20:23] Boogiepop
    Do you...
[20:25] Boogiepop
    want to follow Minahoshi Suiko?
[20:29] Boogiepop
    But even if you were to jump off that
    ledge, you wouldn't be able to join her.
[20:36] Mariko
    Are you... Boogiepop?
[20:38] Boogiepop
    Ah... So you've heard of me.
[20:42] Mariko
    What do you mean, I won't be able to join her?
[20:46] Boogiepop
    Well, that's simple, really.
[20:48] Boogiepop
    Unlike Minahoshi Suiko, you're willingly
    trying to take your own life.
[20:55] Boogiepop
    You know who I am, right? Then you
    must know my mission, as well.
[21:01] Mariko
    B-But that means...
[21:05] Boogiepop
    Yes... I am a reaper.
[21:08] Boogiepop
    I'm the one who killed Minahoshi Suiko.
[21:11] Mariko
    B-But why?
[21:13] Boogiepop
    Because she was an enemy to this world.
[21:17] Boogiepop
    I guess I can put it another way...
[21:20] Boogiepop
    Minahoshi Suiko has not yet
    reached the next world.
[21:26] Mariko
    Wh-What do you mean?
[21:28] Boogiepop
    It means that I don't know
    where she currently is, either.
[21:34] Boogiepop
    Do you still feel like dying?
[21:36] Mariko
    But... But...
[21:38] Mariko
    I mean...
[21:45] Boogiepop
    Sorry, but I have no
    intention of killing you.
[21:49] Boogiepop
    I'm afraid you're not even worth it.
[21:58] Boogiepop
    I guess you're not here anymore...
[22:02] Boogiepop
    But are you still going
    to continue, Imaginator?

[01:33] Aya
    Why are you so concerned about me, Masaki?
[01:36] Masaki
    I'm just trying to get closer to you.
[01:42] Aya
    Do you want to do it?
[01:43] Masaki
    I'm sorry, what?
[01:44] Aya
    Do you want to do me?

[01:48] Masaki
    Wh-What the heck, Orihata?!
[01:51] Aya
    It's fine. If you want to, just say so.
[01:56] Masaki
    Her name is Orihata Aya.
[01:59] Masaki
    She's fifteen, just like me.
[02:01] Masaki
    Apparently, we're boyfriend and girlfriend.
[02:06] Masaki
    I say "apparently" because the way
    we met is pretty complicated,
[02:11] Masaki
    and there are a lot of
    mysterious things about her.
(Flashback) [02:15] Aya
    That's a rather dumb thing to do.
[02:20] Masaki
    In the winter of my third year of middle school,
    I returned to Japan from Phnom Penh,
[02:24] Masaki
    where I was living with my parents,
    in order to attend a Japanese high school.
(Flashback) [02:28] Teacher
    This is Taniguchi Masaki-kun.
[02:31] Masaki
    I just went to this middle school so
    that I could officially graduate...
[02:36] Masaki
    But likely because of that attitude,
[02:38] Masaki
    I had a hard time fitting
    in with everyone in class.
SIGN    Exercises
[02:43] Masaki
    According to my big sister, Nagi...
(Flashback) [02:45] Nagi
    Sadly, that's how it is.
(Flashback) [02:47] Nagi
    They're just a bunch of losers who are
    afraid of people who do things differently.
[02:52] Masaki
    That's why I tried to play the good guy and
    tried to avoid bringing attention to myself.
(Flashback) [02:58] Girl A
    Wow, it's so easy to understand now!
(Flashback) [03:00] Girl B
    You're so smart! Guess I should
    expect that from Mr. Study Abroad.
[03:03] Masaki
    But apparently, that didn't
    sit well with some people.
(Flashback) [03:09] Boy A
    Hey, Mr. Study Abroad.
(Flashback) [03:12] Boy B
    Don't you think you stand out too much?
(Flashback) [03:14] Masaki
    You think so? I'll be more careful, then.
(Flashback) [03:16] Boy C
    Be more careful?
(Flashback) [03:18] Masaki
    Yeah. I'll try not to stand out as much.
(Flashback) [03:21] Boy A
    Who the hell do you think you are?
    Come with us for a sec.
[03:28] Masaki
    I'd been learning karate for self-defense,
    so I knew how to fight,
[03:33] Masaki
    but getting into trouble could affect
    my odds of getting into high school.
[03:38] Masaki
    Guess I'll let 'em hit me four or
    five more times and it'll be over.
[03:41] Masaki
    And then, right when I thought that...
(Flashback) [03:44] Aya
    That's a rather dumb thing to do.
(Flashback) [03:47] Aya
    What's the point of this?
(Flashback) [03:50] Aya
    What sort of failures does he display
    that you'd do that to him?

    Huh? Who the hell are you, a friend of his?
(Flashback) [03:59] Aya
    I'm asking you why.
(Flashback) [04:02] Boy A
    Because he's a womanizer.

    I see.
(Flashback) [04:12] Aya
    So in other words,

    own pent-up sexual frustrations.

(Flashback) [06:06] Masaki
    Huh? Why would I hate you?

    I can't let other people hate me...

(Flashback) [07:04] Masaki
    I mean, if you're busy, it's fine...
[07:09] Aya
    Thank you. I'll go.
(Flashback) [07:15] Masaki
    What should we do? Do you
    want to try another day?
(Flashback) [07:18] Aya
    Why?
(Flashback) [07:19] Masaki
    Because it looks like
    we'll be waiting a while.
(Flashback) [07:22] Aya
    You don't want to wait?
(Flashback) [07:24] Masaki
    Well, won't we get tired?
(Flashback) [07:26] Aya
    Then I'll wait here.
    You can go rest somewhere.
(Flashback) [07:31] Masaki
    No, no. I'll line up for you, then.
(Flashback) [07:34] Aya
    It's fine. I'm used to doing nothing.
(Flashback) [07:37] Masaki
    But, I mean... I wanted to
    do this to thank you...
(Flashback) [07:41] Masaki
    I know! Wait here for a sec.
(Flashback) [07:45] Lady
    Here's your cheeseburger and
    hot dog. Thank you very much.
(Flashback) [07:49] Masaki
    Thanks!

    Well, if it isn't the transfer student.

    What are you doing here?
(Flashback) [07:54] Masaki
    Uh... You know.
(Flashback) [07:57] Anou
    Probably making some girl
     wait for you, huh?
(Flashback) [08:00] Masaki
    Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Bye.
(Flashback) [08:06] Masaki
    Are you sure this is okay?
(Flashback) [08:08] Aya
    Yeah. I don't dislike any food.
(Flashback) [08:10] Aya
    Because I don't have the
    right to hate anything.
(Flashback) [08:13] Masaki
    Huh?
(Flashback) [08:14] Aya
    More importantly, I thought
    you weren't going to come back.
(Flashback) [08:17] Masaki
    Of course I was going to come back!
(Flashback) [08:19] Masaki
    At this point, I'm in for the long haul!
(Flashback) [08:27] Aya
    There, all clean.
(Flashback) [08:33] Aya
    Are you having fun?
(Flashback) [08:34] Masaki
    Huh?
(Flashback) [08:36] Aya
    Are you sure you're not bored...
    being with someone like me?
(Flashback) [08:42] Masaki
    Of course not!
(Flashback) [08:44] Aya
    Thank goodness. I was worried about that.
(Flashback) [08:48] Masaki
    I could ask you the same thing.
    Are you sure you're not—
(Flashback) [08:53] Aya

SIGN    Just wondering if you were free this Saturday.
[09:13] Masaki
    It was always like this.
SIGN    Just wondering if you were free this Saturday.
SIGN    I am. Where should we meet?
[09:16] Masaki
    I'd be restless, and she'd be perfectly calm.
[09:20] Masaki
    That's why I'd invite her out even more.
(Flashback) [09:27] Aya
    Actually, I'm not sure.
(Flashback) [09:30] Masaki
    You're not sure? You haven't decided
    where you're going to school?
(Flashback) [09:33] Aya
    I think I'm going to at least
     take entrance exams,
(Flashback) [09:35] Aya
    but I'm still not sure where to.
(Flashback) [09:38] Masaki
    Are your parents strict, or what?
(Flashback) [09:40] Aya
    I don't have any.
(Flashback) [09:42] Masaki
    Huh? What do you mean?
(Flashback) [09:44] Aya
    I don't have anything like that.
(Flashback) [09:47] Masaki
    Then what about relatives?
(Flashback) [09:50] Masaki
    Should I not have asked that?
(Flashback) [09:53] Aya
    I'm sorry, Masaki.
(Flashback) [09:56] Masaki
    Huh? For what?
(Flashback) [09:57] Aya
    I'm sorry.
(Flashback) [10:00] Aya
    I can't tell you.
(Flashback) [10:02] Masaki
    Nah... It's fine.

[05:33] Touka
    I think it's fine. I'm not surprised
     to hear that from you.
[05:37] Kotoe
    Um... Are you Suema Kazuko-san?
[05:41] Suema
    Yes... Who are you?
[05:44] Kotoe
    I'm Kinukawa Kotoe. I've
    been wanting to meet you.
[05:48] Suema
    Huh?
[05:48] Kotoe
    Kinoshita-san told me about you.
[05:50] Suema
    Kinoshita? You mean Kyouko?
[05:53] Kotoe
    Yeah! She told me that
    you were super reliable.
[05:58] Suema
    Uh... Well...
[06:00] Kotoe
    Please, help Jin-niisan!
[06:04] Suema
    Just like snow falling in April,
SIGN    Snow Falling in April
     Asukai Jin
[06:08] Suema
    this request seemed to come out of nowhere.

[06:13] Suema
    Wh-Who? H-Huh?
[06:16] Touka (Boogie)
    Have a seat, Kinukawa-san.
[06:19] Kotoe
    Thanks...
[06:20] Touka
    You came here to ask her something?
[06:22] Kotoe
    Y-Yes... Sorry about this.
[06:26] Touka
    All right. I'll get out of the way.
[06:30] Suema
    T-Touka, wait!
[06:32] Touka
    Kinukawa-san is asking you for help.
[06:36] Touka
    Why not hear her out?
[06:39] Touka
    See you later.
[06:42] Suema
    All right, fine.
[06:44] Suema
    I guess I can't ignore you if
    you're a friend of Kyouko's.
[06:50] Suema
    Asukai Jin? You mean
    the artist who painted this?
[06:53] Kotoe
    Yeah. He's an instructor here, and my cousin.
[06:57] Kotoe
    Our parents aren't that close, though.
[07:01] Suema
    So, what's wrong with him?
[07:03] Kotoe
    Well, you're an expert on... when
    people suddenly act all weird...
[07:11] Kotoe
    Stuff like that.
[07:12] Suema
    "Stuff like that," huh?
[07:17] Suema
    Okay, so what's wrong with
     your cousin, Jin-niisan?
[07:20] Kotoe
    How do I put this... It's like
    nothing bothers him anymore.
[07:24] Suema
    Nothing bothers him?
[07:25] Kotoe
    Yeah. Deep down, he's a really nice
    person, so he was always troubled.
[07:30] Kotoe
    I'm not sure if I should
    mention this or not,
[07:34] Kotoe
    but his dad was his only close family,
    and he died in a really weird way.
[07:38] Suema
    How did he die?
[07:39] Kotoe
    Well...
[07:41] Suema
    You don't have to tell me. Is there
    anything else concerning you?
[07:44] Kotoe
    Other than that, he's been spending
    nights away from home lately.
[07:47] Suema
    He's gone at night?
[07:48] Kotoe
    Yeah... When I ask him why, all he says
    is that he's staying at a friend's place.
[07:54] Suema
    That's not exactly unusual for a young guy...
[07:57] Kotoe
    I thought so, too!
[07:59] Kotoe
    But one time, I found some dark stains
[08:01] Kotoe
    on his clothes when he came
    home in the morning...
[08:03] Suema
    Stains?
[08:04] Kotoe
    Yeah, like blood...
[08:07] Kotoe
    Jin-niisan didn't have
     a scratch on him, though.
[08:10] Kotoe
    I want to talk to the police, but
    that'd probably make things worse...
[08:15] Kotoe
    Suema-san?
[08:17] Suema
    Right. I'm listening.
[08:19] Suema
    Because of my past, I've been
    yearning for something.
[08:25] Kotoe
    I don't know what to do anymore...
[08:28] Suema
    U-Um, Kinukawa-san...
[08:31] Suema
    Could you let me handle this?
[08:37] Suema
    I've longed to take on the darkness myself.
[08:44] Suema
    So a normal guy wandered around all night
    and came home with blood on his clothes?
[08:51] Suema
    He sounds like some kind of vampire.
[08:57] Suema
    I need to find some kind of clue...
[09:07] Suema
    Huh?
[09:09] Suema
    Isn't this... the girl who committed suicide?
[09:13] Suema
    Minahoshi Suiko?
[09:14] Suema
    Why did Asukai Jin draw a picture of her?
[09:21] Misaki
    But Asukai-sensei, we really are
    friends. We don't hate each other.
[09:28] Misaki
    Right, Yuriko?
[09:29] Yuriko
    Y-Yeah.
[09:32] Jin
    I'm not saying it's just
    you two specifically.
[09:36] Jin
    Most humans hold some kind
    of grudge against others,
[09:39] Jin
    and you two are no exception.
[09:42] Misaki
    But... I mean...
[09:44] Jin
    What's the matter?
[09:45] Misaki
    Um... Are we really going to do this?
[09:48] Jin
    Everyone else has.
[09:50] Jin
    Do you not want to? I won't force you.
[09:54] Yuriko
    No, let's do it.
[09:56] Misaki
    Y-Yuriko...
[09:57] Yuriko
    Let's let him do this. I don't wanna
    end up just some normal examinee.
[10:03] Jin
    What will it be? This is all up to you.
[10:06] Misaki
    Could you order me to do it? Then I...
[10:10] Jin
    No. The Imaginator can't force anyone.
[10:14] Suema
    The Imaginator?
[10:16] Jin
    You can influence events,
    or you can be swept along by them.
[10:20] Jin
    It's one or the other.
[10:22] Yuriko
    Can it just be me, then, Sensei?
[10:25] Jin
    You'd need another partner
    besides Kitahara-kun, then.
[10:28] Yuriko
    I'll find someone!
[10:30] Misaki
    Okay, fine... I'll do it.
    Please do this, Sensei.
[10:34] Jin
    Very good.
[10:35] Jin
    I'll respect your decision.
[10:39] Suema
    What? What's going on?
[11:07] Suema
    Whatever I just witnessed was
    beyond my comprehension.
[11:13] Suema
    But as the three of them left the room,
[11:16] Suema
    I definitely heard what
    the two girls whispered...
[11:22] Misaki
    Sensei, we're not afraid of anything anymore.
[11:26] Yuriko
    Yes. I feel like we can change the world
    for you at this very moment, Sensei.

SIGN    Shinyou Academy High School Division
     Orientation
[14:15] Suema
    Adolescence is filled with emotions.
[14:18] Suema
    It's very fragile... and very precarious.
[14:24] Suema
    I mean, I've read plenty of
    books on abnormal psychology,
[14:30] Suema
    but I have absolutely no idea
    what goes through the minds
[14:33] Suema
    of people who commit suicide.
[14:37] Suema
    What happened in Minahoshi Suiko's case?
[14:45] Suema
    Did she really mean to kill herself, or...
[14:59] Suema
    Um...
[15:04] Aya
    What is it?
[15:06] Suema
    Er... I'm going to sound stupid
    if I've got the wrong idea,
[15:11] Suema
    but if you're going to jump,
    I really don't think you should.
[15:14] Suema
    Someone already jumped from there before...
[15:16] Suema
    I mean, I know it's not as simple
    as saying if you stay alive,
[15:20] Suema
    good things will eventually happen.
[15:24] Suema
    But you know... I mean...
[15:27] Suema
    Even if you die, the thing you
    hate isn't going to go away.
[15:33] Suema
    So... how do I put this?
[15:36] Suema
    Dying is useless. That I can say for sure.
[15:40] Aya
    It's... useless?
[15:42] Suema
    Yes.
[15:43] Aya
    But I... want to die.
[15:48] Suema
    Are you being serious?
[15:50] Suema
    I see. You can't now, though.
[15:54] Suema
    Because I found you.
[15:56] Aya
    I'm sorry... Suema-san.
[15:59] Suema
    Huh? You know who I am?
[16:03] Aya
    Yes. Someone I know goes here,
    and they told me about you.
[16:08] Suema
    I see. Well, I can only imagine
    what they told you about me.
[16:12] Aya
    I'm sorry.
[16:14] Suema
    It's nothing to apologize about.
[16:17] Aya
    Um... Suema-senpai.
[16:19] Suema
    Yes?
[16:21] Aya
    What do you think about Boogiepop?
[16:24] Suema
    Huh? What do I think about them?
[16:26] Masaki
    Boogiepop?
[16:29] Masaki
    I've never heard of them. What is that?
[16:31] Aya
    They're called a reaper.
[16:33] Masaki
    A reaper...
[16:36] Aya
    Yes. Boogiepop kills someone when
    they're at the height of their beauty,
[16:41] Aya
    before they can become
    ugly. That's who they are.
[16:45] Masaki
    Huh? So what about them?
[16:49] Suema
    Sorry, I hope I don't offend you, but
    I'm not really fond of those rumors...
[16:55] Aya
    You don't believe them?
[16:57] Suema
    No. I'm more interested in
    criminal psychology and reality.
[17:03] Suema
    So rumors like that aren't my cup of tea.
[17:05] Aya
    I see.
[17:07] Suema
    But... How do I put this?
[17:10] Suema
    Imagery like reapers and stuff
    like that is pretty common.
[17:15] Suema
    It's typical adolescent imagery.
[17:18] Suema
    Everyone's anxious about something,
[17:19] Suema
    so sometimes they feel like they want
    everything around them to be destroyed.
[17:24] Aya
    Masaki, why don't you try becoming Boogiepop?
[17:27] Masaki
    Huh? Me?
[17:29] Aya
    Yes. I'm sure you can do it.
[17:32] Masaki
    Huh?
[17:33] Suema
    Adults say irresponsible things like,
[17:35] Suema
    those periods of anxiety are just
    a phase and we'll all just get over it,
[17:39] Suema
    but it's never that easy, of course.
[17:43] Suema
    That's why Boogiepop exists.
[17:45] Aya
    Huh?
[17:46] Suema
    I think that's why they exist. To protect
    an unstable heart and to keep it like that.
[17:53] Aya
    Do you think they actually protect?
[17:55] Suema
    Yeah, I think that's how it is.
[18:01] Masaki
    Wait a sec... You want me to become a reaper?
[18:05] Aya
    Don't worry. The reaper
    thing is just a rumor.
[18:09] Aya
    On the contrary, I actually heard
    they help people more than anything.
[18:13] Masaki
    Help people? What do you want me to do?
[18:17] Aya
    Anything.
[18:18] Masaki
    Anything?
[18:19] Aya
    You're strong, Masaki.
[18:22] Aya
    I'm sure you can become Boogiepop.
[18:27] Aya
    But... I'm pretty sure they won't protect me.
[18:34] Aya
    Senpai, can I talk to you about something?
[18:37] Suema
    Sure.
[18:38] Aya
    I think... this boy likes me.
[18:42] Aya
    But I...
[18:45] Aya
    I'm no good. I can't do something like that.
[18:49] Suema
    Ah...
[18:50] Aya
    I feel bad.
[18:52] Aya
    I'd love to do anything for him if
    I could, but there's nothing I can do.
[18:59] Aya
    Instead, I'm causing all
    sorts of trouble for him.
[19:05] Aya
    I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.
[19:08] Aya
    I'm in no place to ask you
    to do something like that.
[19:13] Aya
    I'm sorry, Masaki.
[19:14] Aya
    I'm really sorry for asking you
    to do something so ridiculous.
[19:19] Masaki
    Will it be fun for you if I become
     this Boogie-what's-it?
[19:24] Aya
    Huh?
[19:25] Masaki
    In that case, sure, I'll do it!
[19:27] Masaki
    I still don't really understand,
    but if it's something I can do...
[19:31] Aya
    Really?
[19:32] Masaki
    Yeah! We're friends, aren't we?
[19:36] Aya
    I'm sorry, Masaki.
[19:39] Aya
    What should I do?
[19:41] Aya
    If this goes on, he's going to hate me.
[19:44] Suema
    Is that why you want to die?
[19:46] Aya
    I'm not supposed to let anyone hate me.
[19:48] Aya
    That's the only reason
    I'm allowed to be alive.
[19:52] Suema
    Well, that's impossible.
[19:53] Aya
    Huh?
[19:54] Suema
    It's impossible to live without
    someone hating you.
[19:59] Suema
    Because being alive means that you have
    to come into contact with other people.
[20:02] Suema
    No matter how hard you try, you'll
    eventually end up hurting someone.
[20:06] Aya
    B-But...
[20:08] Suema
    I'm sure someone's already come
    to hate you. I'm certain of it.
[20:13] Aya
    Wh-What do you mean?
[20:15] Suema
    That's just the way things are.
[20:17] Suema
    Going through life believing that no one
    could possibly hate you is detestable.
[20:23] Suema
    There's an author named Kirima Seiichi,
    and in one of his books, he said,
[20:29] Suema
    "There is definitely something out there.
[20:31] Suema
    Something that makes people believe that
    they have to know their place in life."
[20:36] Suema
    "If there is anything that
    gives value to human life,
[20:40] Suema
    it is the struggle with that something.
[20:44] Suema
    In the battle with the Imaginator that does
    your thinking for you, 'Versus Imaginator'...
[20:52] Suema
    That's the starting line upon
    which all humans must stand."
[20:57] Suema
    Basically, humans are all bound by the chains
    of common sense far more than we realize,
[21:03] Suema
    and that makes us suffer.
[21:06] Aya
    Chains?
[21:07] Suema
    If we're being bound, we have to break free.
[21:11] Suema
    That's what that means.
[21:14] Suema
    I'm sure you have some kind
    of rules you have to abide by.
[21:19] Aya
    Yes...
[21:20] Suema
    This might sound harsh,
[21:22] Suema
    but I think you're missing the
    concept of that struggle.
[21:26] Suema
    You have to have that.
[21:29] Aya
    Right...
[21:30] Suema
    You can die after you fight.
[21:33] Aya
    You're right.
[21:36] Aya
    I'm not sure if I can do it, but...
[21:40] Aya
    I'll give it a try.
[21:46] Aya
    Thank you very much.
[21:47] Suema
    Sure. Good luck with everything, Orihata-san.
[21:50] Aya
    Thank you.
[21:52] Aya
    Oh, Senpai...
[21:54] Suema
    Yes?
[21:55] Aya
    If the one I have to fight is Boogiepop...
[22:00] Aya
    Should I still fight?
[22:02] Suema
    Fight, no matter what.
[22:05] Aya
    Okay.

    we saved at least a hundred people from
    ever coming in contact with these drugs.
[01:29] Aya
    It's quite noble.
[01:30] Masaki
    Noble, huh?
[01:33] Aya
    Oh... Your hand.
[01:36] Masaki
    Huh? My hand?
[01:38] Masaki
    It's not a big deal.
[01:41] Aya
    I'm sorry.
[01:44] Aya
    It's all my fault.

[03:17] Masaki
    Before I knew it, about two weeks
    had passed since we started
SIGN    Dengeki Bunko
[03:21] Masaki
    this charade of me acting as Boogiepop.
[03:28] Masaki
    School's going to start soon.
    What should we do?
[03:35] Masaki
    I mean, we can't keep doing this forever...
[03:37] Masaki
    Right?
(Flashback) [03:40] Masaki
    Y-You're asking me to wear that?
(Flashback) [03:42] Aya
    You'll wear it when you appear.
(Flashback) [03:49] Masaki
    Does this work?
(Flashback) [03:51] Masaki
    You think I went too hard on this groper?
(Flashback) [03:53] Aya
    You really are amazing, Masaki.
(Flashback) [03:56] Masaki
    I don't really like using you as bait, though.
[03:59] Masaki
    I still have no idea why
    she wants me to do this.
[04:03] Masaki
    I'm actually relieved that today was a dud.
[04:05] Masaki
    It'd be scary if we got attacked all the time.
[04:10] Masaki
    What should we do? Should we keep doing this?
[04:15] Aya
    Masaki.
[04:16] Masaki
    What's up?
[04:18] Aya
    Isn't there anything you
    want me to do for you?
[04:22] Masaki
    I'll do anything you say. I'll do
    anything you want, Masaki.
[04:29] Aya
    I know that's not enough... But...
[04:33] Aya
    I'll do everything you desire.
[04:39] Masaki
    In that case... Why don't we continue
    this Boogiepop thing a little longer?
[04:45] Aya
    Are you sure?
[04:46] Masaki
    Yeah. I'm actually starting
    to have some fun with it, too.
[04:55] Aya
    You're such an idiot, Masaki.
[04:57] Masaki
    Yeah...
[05:05] Masaki
    Well, see you later.
[05:06] Aya
    Hey, Masaki. Do you—
[05:15] Masaki
    Did you say something?
[05:17] Aya
    No, it's nothing.
[05:19] Masaki
    Well, goodnight.
[05:22] Aya
    Goodnight.
[05:30] Aya
    Hello, this is Orihata.
[05:32] Spooky
    Camille?
[05:34] Aya
    Yes.
[05:35] Spooky
    The bastard hasn't fallen for the trap yet?
[05:38] Aya
    Not as of yet.
[05:40] Spooky
    Guess they're not gonna fall for something
    as dumb as having a fake waltzing around.
[05:45] Spooky
    Whatever.
[05:46] Spooky
    We're going to have Taniguchi
    Masaki do something else for us.
[05:50] Spooky
    Cut ties with him for now.
[05:52] Spooky
    If it comes down to it, I'm thinking
    about sterilizing this whole area.
[05:57] Spooky
    I'll send you further instructions later.
[05:59] Spooky
    That's all.
[06:11] Sasahara
    Hello, this is Sasahara.
[06:13] Spooky
    I put the drugs in a coin locker.
[06:16] Spooky
    Add them to the drinks you serve
    at the fast food place you work at.
[06:20] Sasahara
    Understood. Carrying out command.
[06:28] Spooky
    What?
[06:29] Terminal B
    Periodic report.
[06:30] Spooky
    Yeah?
[06:31] Terminal B
    70% of the spiked cream has been sold.
[06:35] Terminal B
    However, there are no visible changes
    to the customers who have purchased it.
[06:38] Spooky
    All right. Begin stage two on the customers
    who purchased the spiked cream,
[06:42] Spooky
    regardless of the results.
[06:44] Terminal B
    Understood.
[06:47] Terminal C
    Urgent report.
[06:49] Spooky
    Did you find something out?!
[06:50] Terminal C
    Apparently, they appear near the
    expressway overpass sometimes.
[06:53] Spooky
    That's the fake that I have walking around!
[06:56] Spooky
    Anything else?
[06:57] Terminal C
    There's a rumor that a shadowy figure like
    them was spotted on the roof of Twin City.
[07:01] Spooky
    I know that already! Look into this
    stuff before calling me, damn it!
[07:07] Spooky
    Curse you, Boogiepop...
[07:10] Spooky
    If it comes down to it, I'll level this
    whole place just to get rid of you!
[07:14] Spooky
    I can't seem to stop thinking
    about what they said, though.
(Flashback) [07:19] Boogiepop
    I'm currently trying to find the
    Imaginator that's reemerged...
[07:24] Spooky
    If I can figure out who the hell this
    Imaginator is, I might be able to...
SIGN    No Trespassing
[07:41] Kotoe
    When I get really depressed, I always
    come here, to my secret place.
(Flashback) [07:47] Kazuko
    Listen.
(Flashback) [07:48] Kazuko
    Try not to go near him until
    I figure out what's going on.
[08:00] Kotoe
    I first met Jin-niisan when I was five.
(Flashback) [08:05] Father
    You finally have the nerve to show
    your face, and this is what you do?
(Flashback) [08:09] Father
    Stop it, Nii-san.
(Flashback) [08:11] Father
    It was your decision to leave the
    family. I have no money to lend you.
(Flashback) [08:15] Jin
    Uncle's right, Father.
(Flashback) [08:17] Jin
    There's no way he'd let you
    borrow money so carelessly.
(Flashback) [08:20] Jin
    Let's go home.
(Flashback) [08:22] Jin's Father
    Yeah, you're right...
[08:24] Kotoe
    He was my first love, but I had
    no idea what to say to him.
[08:30] Kotoe
    I thought I'd never see him again.
[08:35] Kotoe
    But then, when I was nine,
[08:37] Kotoe
    we would end up meeting again in
    a way I couldn't have imagined.
(Flashback) [08:40] Father
    You don't need any money?
(Flashback) [08:42] Jin's Father
    Yeah, I'm sorry about back then.
(Flashback) [08:44] Jin's Father
    I don't need money anymore, though.
(Flashback) [08:47] Father
    Then what do you want?
(Flashback) [08:49] Jin's Father
    Koji, do you have any interest in paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Father
    Paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Jin's Father
    Absolute masterpieces.
(Flashback) [08:55] Jin's Father
    My current line of work deals with them.
(Flashback) [08:59] Father
    You're selling paintings?
    But that line of work
(Flashback) [09:02] Father
    requires you to have a really careful
     eye or you'll mess up someday.
(Flashback) [09:05] Jin's Father
    I have nothing to worry about.
     I'm letting him handle all of that.
(Flashback) [09:10] Father
    You're leaving it to Jin?
(Flashback) [09:11] Jin's Father
    He's a genius. He's already gotten
    countless awards for his art.
(Flashback) [09:15] Father
    I see... Are you planning on becoming
    an artist in the future, Jin?
(Flashback) [09:20] Jin
    It's my dream.
[09:27] Kotoe
    Then, that night...
(Flashback) [09:49] Kotoe
    What were you doing?
(Flashback) [09:51] Jin
    Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
(Flashback) [09:55] Jin
    I was just hoping it would snow.
(Flashback) [09:58] Kotoe
    Snow?
(Flashback) [09:59] Jin
    Yeah... I could've sworn
    it looked like it might.
(Flashback) [10:03] Kotoe
    Do you like snow?
(Flashback) [10:05] Jin
    Yeah. I know it seems a bit childish, but...
[10:10] Kotoe
    Shortly afterward, my uncle passed away,
[10:13] Kotoe
    and Jin-niisan was all alone.
[10:19] Kotoe
    The cause of his death is still unclear.
[10:21] Kotoe
    There were no signs of poisoning, so the
    cause of death was left undetermined.
(Flashback) [10:26] Lady
    He's such a good boy.
    They should just adopt him.
(Flashback) [10:29] Lady B
    But he declined the offer, didn't he?
[10:33] Kotoe
    But I was somewhat relieved that
    we could continue as cousins,
[10:37] Kotoe
    rather than as brother and sister.
[10:43] Kotoe
    And yet...
[10:48] Kotoe
    Jin-niisan...
[10:50] Spooky
    Ah, so that's the name of your man?
SIGN    Identification Card   No. °°°°
    This card proves that this individual is a student at this school.
    
    Grade: Year 2
    Name: Kinukawa Kotoe
    Date of Birth: °°°°/°°/°°
    Shinyou Academy High School
[10:56] Spooky
    Her name's Kinukawa Kotoe, and
    she's seventeen years old...
[11:01] Spooky
    Kinukawa?
SIGN    The Ladder Ferris Wheel      Bathrooms & Rest Areas
SIGN    Kinukawa Enterprises
[11:06] Spooky
    So that's why she has the master key.
[11:13] Spooky
    Perfect. I'll use this to find out
    more about this Imaginator.
[11:28] Kotoe
    There's something I want to ask you.
[11:30] Bartender
    Huh?
[11:31] Kotoe
    Have you ever heard of the Imaginator?
[11:39] Big guy
    Hey, where did you hear that name?
[11:41] Big guy
    Where the hell is that bastard?
[11:43] Kotoe
    Ah, so it's one person?
[11:45] Big guy
    I'm asking the questions here!
[11:47] Big guy
    Listen up. I know guys who got all screwed up
[11:50] Big guy
    thanks to that Imaginator bastard!
[11:53] Kotoe
    Screwed up? Could you elaborate
    a bit more on that?
[11:58] Kotoe
    I'll definitely pay you for the intel.
[12:01] Big guy
    Who the hell are you?
[12:03] Kotoe
    Well, I'm definitely not
    a friend of the Imaginator.
[12:11] Big guy
    I haven't seen 'em personally.
[12:14] Big guy
    I just know a guy who happened to
    coincidentally see this freak in action.
[12:18] Kotoe
    You're making it sound like they saw
     some supernatural phenomenon.
[12:22] Big guy
    Well, he did.
[12:23] Big guy
    He doesn't know how, but he said this freak
    managed to send a bunch of guys flying.
[12:31] Kotoe
    Flying?
[12:32] Big guy
    Yeah. But he didn't punch or kick 'em.
[12:36] Big guy
    And the ones who got sent flying...
[12:41] Big guy
    turned on the others.
[12:44] Kotoe
    You make it sound like
    they're some kind of monster.
[12:46] Big guy
    Yeah... I don't know what's going on, either.
[12:50] Kotoe
    What happened to the guys
    who got sent flying?
[12:53] Big guy
    What happened to 'em?
[12:55] Kotoe
    You mentioned they were all messed up.
[12:57] Big guy
    Right.
[12:58] Big guy
    I happened to run into a guy named
    Tsuyoshi just once after that.
[13:01] Big guy
    We were never close,
    but when I called out to him...
[13:08] Big guy
    The bastard looked over at me and smiled.
[13:12] Kotoe
    And what's so weird about that?
[13:14] Big guy
    He's just not the type to do that.
[13:16] Big guy
    I didn't know about the Imaginator back then.
[13:20] Big guy
    It was just like he was
    a totally different person.
[13:24] Kotoe
    I see...
[13:25] Kotoe
    So what I've gathered is that the
    Imaginator does something to these people
[13:30] Kotoe
    and draws them to their side.
[13:33] Big guy
    Something like that.
[13:35] Kotoe
    So what did their voice sound like?
[13:37] Big guy
    Voice?
[13:38] Kotoe
    Your friend heard them announce themselves.
[13:40] Kotoe
    That's how you found out their name, right?
[13:42] Big guy
    Yeah, he said it sounded really clear.
[13:45] Big guy
    They apparently sounded all high and mighty.
[13:47] Kotoe
    He didn't see their face, though?
[13:49] Big guy
    Nope.
[13:50] Big guy
    Come to think of it...
[13:51] Kotoe
    What?
[13:52] Big guy
    He did mention something about the color
    white... like, he saw a figure in white.
[14:00] Big guy
    What's your problem? Did that ring a bell?
[14:02] Kotoe
    Damn it! I can't access it!
[14:05] Big guy
    Hey...
[14:06] Kotoe
    Never mind. It's nothing.
[14:09] Big guy
    Hey, who the hell are you?
[14:12] Big guy
    What are you gonna do with all this info?
[14:14] Kotoe
    You don't want to get
    revenge for your friends?
[14:18] Big guy
    And how am I supposed to do that?
[14:24] Kotoe
    Use this cash to gather up some people.
[14:26] Kotoe
    Then we're going to hunt the Imaginator down.
[14:30] Big guy
    H-How the hell'd you get all this money?
[14:33] Kotoe
    This is nothing... At least, to me.
[14:40] Nagi
    Hey, Masaki.
[14:43] Masaki
    What's up?
[14:44] Nagi
    You've been going out a lot lately.
[14:47] Masaki
    You think so?
[14:48] Nagi
    And you've been coming home
    late. What've you been up to?
[14:51] Masaki
    It's not a big deal.
[14:57] Nagi
    What are these calluses?
[14:59] Masaki
    I've just been practicing karate.
[15:01] Masaki
    I'd been out of practice
    since I got to Japan.
[15:03] Nagi
    Didn't Sakakibara-sensei tell you that
    you'd get clobbered if you got too cocky?
[15:09] Masaki
    I know. I promise I'm not being cocky.
[15:12] Masaki
    There's just some stuff I'm thinking about.
[15:17] Nagi
    I hope you actually understand...
SIGN    Café Tristan
[15:23] Kotoe
    Oh? So that's your boyfriend?
[15:25] Kotoe
    He's pretty hot.
[15:35] Aya
    Masaki, I...
[15:37] Masaki
    Is she a friend of yours?
[15:39] Aya
    She's... my senpai at school.
[15:42] Kotoe
    The name's Kinukawa Kotoe. Nice to meet you.
[15:48] Masaki
    Likewise.
[15:49] Kotoe
    Wow, you must be used to
    girls if you didn't even
[15:52] Kotoe
    hesitate to take another girl's hand.
[15:54] Masaki
    Seriously, who are you?
[15:56] Kotoe
    I'm Orihata-san's friend, just like you...
[16:01] Kotoe
    Right, Boogiepop-san?
[16:05] Aya
    Kinukawa-san knows about us...
[16:08] Kotoe
    Yes, and I'd love to help out.
[16:12] Masaki
    And why do you want to help?
[16:13] Kotoe
    Do I really need a reason
    to do the right thing?
[16:16] Kotoe
    You should totally keep
    at it, Taniguchi-kun.
[16:19] Kotoe
    She came to talk to me about it.
[16:21] Kotoe
    You actually don't want to
    do it anymore, do you?
[16:34] Masaki
    Orihata, come with me for a sec.
[16:36] Kotoe
    Oh, don't mind me. I won't get in your way.
[16:40] Masaki
    I'll pay your tab. Please take your time.
[16:48] Aya
    Masaki, I...
[16:51] Masaki
    What did she do to you?
[16:53] Aya
    Nothing...
[16:55] Masaki
    Who the hell does she think she is?
[16:57] Masaki
    Does she have something on you?
[16:59] Aya
    It's nothing like that. Really.
[17:02] Masaki
    Then what the hell is going on?
[17:04] Masaki
    She definitely didn't seem like a friend.
[17:08] Masaki
    If you're in some kind of trouble, I can—
[17:09] Aya
    She saw the outfit.
[17:11] Masaki
    Outfit?
[17:12] Aya
    Yes. She's the daughter of the landlord
    in my apartment building, so...
[17:19] Masaki
    Kinukawa? Like Kinukawa Enterprises?
[17:22] Aya
    Yes.
[17:23] Masaki
    But why would she...
[17:25] Aya
    Well...
(Flashback) [17:31] Kotoe
    It's convenient that you just happened to
    be living in Kinukawa Kotoe's territory.
(Flashback) [17:35] Kotoe
    I'm going to make this my base
    for hunting down this Imaginator.
(Flashback) [17:40] Aya
    Imaginator?
(Flashback) [17:42] Kotoe
    I've got plenty of people
    ready to hunt them down.
(Flashback) [17:45] Kotoe
    You're going to take care of those men.
(Flashback) [17:47] Aya
    B-But then, Masaki will...
(Flashback) [17:50] Kotoe
    I told you. We're done with that brat.
(Flashback) [17:56] Kotoe
    What?
(Flashback) [17:58] Kotoe
    Don't tell me you still don't
    want that brat to hate you.
(Flashback) [18:03] Aya
    But the Towa Organization told me that
    I shouldn't let anyone hate me...
(Flashback) [18:07] Aya
    So...
(Flashback) [18:08] Kotoe
    What?!
(Flashback) [18:09] Kotoe
    You think you've got any right 
    to get picky about men now?
(Flashback) [18:14] Kotoe
    Just so you know, I'm not some terminal.
(Flashback) [18:17] Kotoe
    I'm a copy.
(Flashback) [18:19] Kotoe
    How many guys have you taken
    since you left the facility?
(Flashback) [18:24] Aya
    I...
(Flashback) [18:25] Kotoe
    All because they wanted
    to see if synthetic humans
(Flashback) [18:28] Kotoe
    could crossbreed with normal ones...
(Flashback) [18:30] Kotoe
    But you didn't get knocked up even once.
(Flashback) [18:32] Aya
    Right...
(Flashback) [18:33] Kotoe
    I've actually succeeded, and I don't
    even have anything down there!
(Flashback) [18:37] Kotoe
    So why the hell does a failure
    like you get to have all the fun?!
(Flashback) [18:41] Kotoe
    God damn it!
(Flashback) [18:43] Kotoe
    Listen carefully, Camille.
(Flashback) [18:45] Kotoe
    Before we cut that brat loose,
    see if you can crossbreed with him.
(Flashback) [18:48] Aya
    Then Masaki will be freed
    from all of this, right?
(Flashback) [18:52] Kotoe
    Huh? Yeah, sure.
[18:55] Aya
    Thank goodness.
[18:57] Aya
    Masaki won't have to be Boogiepop anymore.
[19:03] Aya
    Masaki... I must save Masaki.
[19:08] Aya
    I'm sorry. I...
[19:10] Masaki
    You can't tell me?
[19:12] Aya
    It's all my fault.
[19:15] Aya
    Let's stop this Boogiepop thing for a while.
[19:18] Masaki
    Okay.
[19:18] Aya
    Yes.
[19:19] Masaki
    This doesn't concern you anymore.
    I'll keep doing it on my own.
[19:22] Aya
    Huh?
[19:23] Aya
    What do you mean, Masaki?
[19:25] Masaki
    As I said... I'm going to
    keep going on my own.
[19:30] Aya
    But why? You didn't want
    to do it in the first place.
[19:33] Masaki
    In that case... You didn't want
    to do it either, did you?
[19:40] Masaki
    You should've just been honest about it!
[19:43] Aya
    I...
[19:45] Masaki
    I didn't want to keep putting you
    in danger as the bait, either.
[19:48] Masaki
    But I thought this was
    what you wanted, so I...
[19:53] Aya
    Why... Why are you...
[20:01] Masaki
    I'm going. Bye.
[20:14] Aya
    Masaki!
[20:14] Spooky
    Wait.
[20:16] Aya
    Please, let me go!
[20:17] Spooky
    Excellent work, Camille.
[20:20] Spooky
    Change of orders.
[20:22] Spooky
    Apparently, he's going to continue
    being Boogiepop on his own.
[20:26] Spooky
    You said you wanted it to stop,
[20:28] Spooky
    so I came to convince you to reconsider...
[20:29] Spooky
    I dunno what's going on,
    but apparently he's a moron.
[20:32] Aya
    What do you mean?
[20:33] Spooky
    Sooner or later, they're going to find
    Boogiepop's corpse in some alley.
[20:40] Aya
    So by "cutting him loose"...
[20:41] Spooky
    Yeah. Then everyone will find out
    that the true identity behind
[20:45] Spooky
    the legendary Boogiepop is just
    some pathetic, heartbroken idiot!
[20:49] Aya
    No! You can't!
[20:55] Aya
    I'll report back to the Towa
    Organization regarding Boogiepop...
[20:59] Spooky
    Do you actually think you still
    work for the Towa Organization?
[21:05] Spooky

(Flashback) [21:26] Jin
    Contrary to her demeanor, I'm pretty
    sure she's not as calm as she seems.
[21:31] Masaki
    I never thought too deeply about why
    Orihata would want to do any of this.
(Flashback) [21:37] Masaki
    Are your parents strict, or what?
(Flashback) [21:39] Aya

SIGN    Sorry for introducing you  to someone like that, Suema
[02:46] Suema
    Of course, this has to do with

[02:51] Suema
    But I can't help feeling like
    something just isn't adding up.

    Are you Asukai Jin-san?

    I am. Are you a student here?

    I'd like to talk to you for

[03:05] Jin
    Sure. You need advice on your future?
[03:07] Suema
    No. I'd like to speak to you
    as Kinukawa Kotoe's friend.
[03:14] Suema
    Have you heard about Kinukawa-san
    changing all of a sudden?
[03:18] Jin
    Yeah, I actually just found out about that.
[03:23] Suema
    And what do you make of it?
[03:24] Jin
    What do you mean?
[03:25] Suema
    Kinukawa-san had feelings for you.
[03:29] Jin
    Yeah... I had a hunch about that.
[03:32] Suema
    But I'm fairly certain that the current
    Kinukawa-san doesn't care about you at all.
[03:38] Jin
    That's honestly better, for her sake.
[03:41] Suema
    Are you sure you don't know?
[03:43] Jin
    Know what?
[03:45] Suema
    The reason she changed.
[03:49] Jin
    What makes you think I do?
[03:51] Suema
    It's just a hunch.
[03:53] Suema
    Kinukawa-san was very worried about you.
[03:56] Jin
    Worried? What do you mean?
[03:59] Suema
    I can't tell you that. I promised
    her I wouldn't tell anyone.
[04:02] Suema
    But now that I've met you, I can sort of
    understand why she felt the way she did.
[04:07] Suema
    It's true that she's changed, but it
    seems she wasn't the only one.
[04:13] Jin
    That might be true.
[04:15] Jin
    I won't be able to return her feelings.

[04:21] Suema
    In the past, I don't think you would've
    had time to worry about that.
[04:27] Suema
    I believe that's why Kinukawa-san
    wanted to help you.
[04:33] Suema
    It's a very lonely painting, isn't it?
[04:36] Suema
    It must be a representation of
    yourself... before you changed.
[04:39] Jin
    What do you know about ar—
[04:46] Jin
    You seem rather intelligent.
[04:50] Suema
    Huh?
[04:51] Jin
    So this whole thing must
    not make sense to you.
[04:54] Suema
    That's not—
[04:56] Jin
    You said you were friends with Kotoe-chan,
    but I can't see you two actually getting along.
[05:01] Jin
    You just want to feel satisfied.
[05:04] Jin
    Am I wrong?
[05:06] Suema
    That... That may be true.
[05:10] Suema
    But...
[05:11] Jin
    What is it?
[05:11] Suema
    I want to save her.
[05:13] Suema
    It's because we're not close 
    that I want to help her.
[05:18] Jin
    I see.
[05:19] Suema
    And in order to do that, I figured
    I should learn more about you first.
[05:24] Jin
    About me, huh?
[05:26] Jin
    Do you want to know what I'm doing?
[05:30] Jin
    I'm trying to change the world.
[05:34] Jin
    I want to fill in whatever's
    missing inside people's hearts.
[05:38] Jin
    That's my goal.
[05:39] Jin
    And to do so, I'm planting flower
    seeds within people's hearts.
[05:46] Jin
    The problem was the balance of that seed.
[05:49] Jin
    Without a complete shape, and unable
    to grant any single desire...
[05:55] Jin
    And yet, a balanced seed that
    included all the factors.
[06:01] Jin
    Fortunately, I managed to find
    a girl with that balanced seed.
[06:07] Jin
    Now I just need to find that
    girl, extract her seed,
[06:11] Jin
    and spread it all over the world.
[06:13] Jin
    Eventually, the seed will take root,
    and before everyone realizes it,
[06:16] Jin
    whatever was missing in
    their hearts will be filled.
[06:20] Jin
    I need that girl to become
    a sacrifice for that.
[06:24] Jin
    You also have something
    missing in your heart.
[06:26] Jin
    I'm sure you realize that.
[06:29] Jin
    What if I told you...
[06:33] Jin
    I'd fill that void for you?
[06:35] Suema

    Well, people who model for paintings
    need to stand still for about eight hours.

    The girl I was talking about...

[09:02] Kotoe
    You're continuing to parade around 
    as Boogiepop for her sake, right?
[09:06] Kotoe
    But you shouldn't feel obligated
    to owe her anything.
[09:10] Kotoe
    I'm very aware of what she was
    forced to do and with whom.
[09:16] Kotoe
    Hey, did you know? People called her
    "Public Toilet" behind her back.
[09:20] Kotoe
    To be honest, I feel sorry for you.
    You fell for her goody-two-shoes façade.
[09:33]  Lackey A
    You bastard!
[09:53] Kotoe
    Not bad, Taniguchi Masaki.
[09:56] Masaki
    I'm not Taniguchi Masaki.

    If I told Axis that, they'd
    probably think you're the real deal.

    How about you do some explaining?
    What was Orihata forced to do?
[10:11] Kotoe
    What? There are things you're
    better off not knowing.
[10:14] Masaki
    Were you the one forcing her to do them?
[10:16] Kotoe
    What if I was?
[10:19] Masaki
    Why are you following me? Where's Orihata?!

[10:26] Masaki
    Answer me.
[10:29] Kotoe
    As for the reason I'm following you,
[10:31] Kotoe
    I was planning on killing you and making
    a spectacle of Boogiepop's corpse.
[10:37] Kotoe
    Have you ever thought about why you
    were taking on that stupid façade
[10:41] Kotoe
    in the first place?
[10:42] Masaki
    What do you mean?
[10:45] Kotoe
    Go ahead and kill me.
[10:47] Kotoe
    I was gonna make a spectacle of your corpse,

    not a bad idea, either.

    Kotoe-chan, I've known about how
    you felt for quite a while now.
[13:25] Jin
    I knew you had feelings for me.
[13:29] Jin
    I knew it was a mixture of yearning and pity.
[13:34] Kotoe
    Who... are you?
[13:37] Jin
    There's nothing you've
    found yourself engrossed in,
[13:40] Jin
    and that made you sad.
[13:43] Jin
    That's why you liked me.
[13:46] Jin
    You incorrectly believed that
     I possessed that same sadness.
[13:51] Jin
    Yes... Unlike your sadness,
    mine is just despair.
[14:00] Jin
    I cannot feel sadness.
[14:10] Jin
    That's why I couldn't return your feelings.

[16:08] Jin
    Right?
[16:11] Spooky
    Do you know what'll happen to
    you for knowing that much?
[16:17] Spooky
    Don't think you can survive after making

[16:27] Jin

[16:31] Jin
    There were a number of
    people who died from

    the experiments you were conducting.
[16:36] Jin
    They had allergic reactions to
    the drugs or ended up in shock.
[16:41] Spooky
    So what? That's not a big deal.
[16:45] Jin
    Correct. It's not a big deal.
[16:48] Jin
    You can just compare it to a car

    Do you know the smartest thing you can
    do when confronted with an enemy?
[17:12] Jin
    History's proven this.
[17:15] Jin
    You make your enemy into your ally.
[17:18] Jin
    That's the smartest and
    most effective method.
[17:23] Jin
    Enemy... No, I'd consider you my sworn enemy.
[17:28] Spooky
    What?
[17:29] Jin
    You and I have similar powers.
    This actually works out perfectly for me.
[17:35] Jin
    Meaning if I'm doing something similar,
[17:38] Jin
    the Towa Organization will just
    think that you're doing it.
[17:43] Spooky
    Y-You bastard! Don't tell me you're—
[17:45] Jin
    Precisely. I'll use you as a cover and
     take over the Towa Organization.
[17:51] Jin
    Then eventually, I'll spread the Imaginator
    throughout the Towa Organization.
[17:55] Jin
    At least, that's my plan.
[17:57] Spooky
    L-Like that's even—
[18:00] Jin
    It is possible.
[18:01] Jin
    And it is necessary.
[18:02] Jin
    In order for my plan to come
    true all over the world,
[18:06] Jin
    I absolutely need backing
    from a vast organization.
[18:09] Spooky
    Plan?

    It's not your body. It's your mind.
[18:40] Spooky
    Wh-What did you do to me?
[18:43] Jin
    I stripped away all the
    thorns from your flower.
[18:46] Jin
    That's all.
[18:49] Jin
    It means that I've removed
    your capacity for aggression.
[18:54] Spooky
    Th-That's impossible...
[18:56] Jin
    I told you. I'm on a completely
    different level than you.
[19:02] Jin
    Listen up. Your power,
[19:04] Jin
    the one that allows you to control a
    person's brain using electrical shock...
[19:07] Jin
    It lacks the concept of a soul.
[19:11] Jin
    You don't know anything about the principal
    force that drives human beings.
[19:15] Jin
    You just jam some information
    down into their minds.
[19:22] Jin
    That's not enough to really change any person.
[19:27] Jin
    First, you have to find out
    what's missing in their hearts,
[19:29] Jin
    and how you're going to fill that void.
[19:32] Jin
    That's the most important thing.

[21:08] Jin
    Hello. I guess you do remember me.
[21:11] Aya
    P-Please, could you help me?
[21:15] Jin
    Unfortunately, I cannot.
[21:17] Aya
    Huh?
[21:18] Jin
    I need you to become a sacrifice.
[21:20] Aya
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[21:23] Jin
    There isn't much time.
[21:25] Jin
    I didn't plan on Spooky E dying.
[21:29] Aya
    He's dead?
[21:31] Jin
    I'm sure someone else from the Towa
    Organization will come to this city soon.
[21:34] Jin
    Before that happens, I need to
     make it snow, at least here.
[21:38] Aya
    Then he's—

[00:14] Aya
    You're strong, Masaki.
[00:17] Masaki
    No... I'm not strong at all!
[00:20] Masaki
    I can't even tell what's

[00:25] Masaki
    That's why I have to live according

    I'm sure you can become Boogiepop.
[00:32] Masaki
    And... I actually felt like I could...

[01:38] Masaki
    It's me! Taniguchi Masaki!
[01:41] Aya
    Yes, I know.
[01:45] Masaki
    Are you all right, Orihata?
[01:46] Aya
    Yes. Why do you ask?
[01:49] Masaki
    I talked with that Kinukawa girl.
[01:52] Aya
    I see.
[01:53] Masaki
    She said someone brainwashed her.
[01:57] Aya
    That's correct. So please, don't hate her.
[02:00] Masaki
    Are you in any danger?
[02:03] Aya
    No, I'm fine.
[02:05] Masaki
    Is someone else there?
[02:08] Masaki
    Orihata, I want to help you.
[02:11] Masaki
    I want to save you!
[02:14] Masaki
    I don't care about the fact

[02:14] Masaki

[02:22] Aya
    Masaki, that's enough.
[02:24] Masaki
    Huh?
[02:25] Aya
    Please, just forget about me.
[02:27] Aya
    You'll be better off with a normal girl.
[02:30] Masaki
    That's not what I'm talking about! I—
[02:32] Aya
    You found out, right? What I've been doing.
[02:36] Aya
    It's all true. You never would have believed
    I'd done all those things, would you?
[02:43] Masaki
    That's—
[02:45] Aya
    Sorry. That's the kind of person I am.
[02:49] Aya
    I was deceiving and betraying
    you this whole time.
[02:52] Masaki
    But...
[02:53] Aya
    You need to wake up.
[02:55] Aya
    You're such an idiot, Masaki.

    Orihata, where are you right now?

[03:19] Aya
    Goodbye, Masaki.

[03:27] Masaki
    You're listening, aren't you?

[03:29] Masaki
    I don't know who's listening,

[03:33] Masaki
    I don't care who you are.
[03:35] Masaki
    But if you do anything to Orihata,
    I'll make sure you regret it!
[03:39] Masaki
    Hey, are you lis—
[03:50] Jin
    Were you happy that you
    got to hear his voice?
[03:54] Aya
    Yes...
[03:55] Jin
    I see. Then I guess your life
    wasn't a complete waste.
[04:01] Jin
    You're better off than me, at least.
[04:06] Suema
    How are you feeling?
[04:07] Kotoe
    I'm okay.
[04:09] Suema
    I see... That's good.
[04:13] Kotoe
    Everything that happened
     must've surprised you.
[04:16] Suema
    Well, a little bit.
[04:19] Suema
    The other day surprised me more, though.
[04:22] Kotoe
    The other day?
[04:23] Suema
    I mean hearing about how your
    reputation had suddenly changed.
[04:27] Kotoe
    They must be saying all
    sorts of things about me.
[04:30] Suema
    I'm sure everyone's opinions will change
    once they hear about what happened.
[04:35] Suema
    Rumors are always like that.
[04:39] Kotoe
    Thanks... Did you come to cheer me up?
[04:42] Suema
    No. I wanted to ask you
    something personally.
[04:46] Kotoe
    About what?
[04:47] Suema
    Who was the one controlling you?
[04:52] Kotoe
    How'd you know?
[04:53] Suema
    Because people can't change that easily.
[04:59] Suema
    Do you have any idea?
[05:02] Kotoe
    I'm not sure... But remember when
    you told me not to see Jin-niisan?
[05:07] Kotoe
    I remembered that because
    it was such a shock...
[05:10] Suema
    Sorry! That was just—
[05:12] Kotoe
    No, that's not what I'm saying.
[05:15] Kotoe
    There's a place I go
    whenever I get depressed.
[05:20] Kotoe
    I remember going when that happened,
    so it might've happened after that...
[05:24] Suema
    Where is that place?
SIGN    No Trespassing
[05:26] Kotoe
    An amusement park that was never
    completed, called Paisley Park.
[05:30] Kotoe
    Have you heard of it?
[05:31] Suema
    Yes, I know it.
[05:32] Kotoe
    There's a tower there called
    The Ladder. That was where...
[05:38] Kotoe
    It's hazy, but I remember...
[05:41] Kotoe
    Jin-niisan told me goodbye.
[05:46] Kotoe
    And that my feelings for him
    were just admiration.
[05:50] Kotoe
    I already knew that, though.
[05:53] Kotoe
    I'm such a little kid... It's ridiculous.
[05:57] Suema
    Kinukawa-san, do you still
    have feelings for him?
[06:02] Kotoe
    I'm not sure.
[06:03] Kotoe
    I don't know, but... But...
[06:08] Kotoe
    But... I want to see him again.
[06:13] Kotoe
    I want him to tease me and
    bicker with me like we used to.
[06:24] Touka
    How'd it go?
[06:27] Suema
    I'm sorry, Touka,
[06:30] Suema
    but could you go home by yourself?
[06:33] Touka
    Is something wrong?
[06:34] Suema
    I think I have to go.
[06:37] Touka
    Go? Go where?
[06:40] Suema
    To Paisley Park.
[06:42] Suema
    I promised her that I would
    do something about this!
[06:45] Touka
    W-Wait, Suema!
[06:53] Masaki
    Sorry, Nee-san. I promise
    I'll return your motorcycle.
[07:03] Suiko
    Just a little more...
[07:06] Suiko
    Just a little bit more...
[07:08] Suiko
    Just a little more, and I'll
    be able to get through.
[07:29] Aya
    Are you going to kill me here?
[07:31] Jin
    No, not yet.
[07:32] Jin
    I should have some time
     before the Towa Organization
[07:35] Jin
    finds out about Spooky E's death.
[07:38] Aya
    I see.
[07:39] Jin
    And I'm not technically going to kill you.
[07:42] Jin
    I will be tearing out your heart, though.
[07:47] Jin
    Then you will longer be yourself,
    or anything worth calling human.
[07:52] Aya
    In that case, I'm already...
[07:56] Aya
    No, it's nothing...
[08:00] Jin
    We'll begin late at night when
    most people will have settled in.
[08:03] Jin
    I'd rather not cause a panic.
[08:06] Jin
    The seed I'll create from
    your heart will probably
[08:09] Jin
    only be enough to influence
    the people of this city,
[08:13] Jin
    but that's more than enough.
[08:15] Aya
    Huh?
[08:17] Jin
    A new seed should be born within
    the people your seed takes root in.
[08:23] Aya
    How much will this affect everyone?
[08:26] Jin
    Not much, really.
[08:28] Jin
    They probably won't even notice.
[08:31] Jin
    They'll just notice one day that
    they aren't feeling pain anymore.
[08:34] Jin
    That's all.
[08:37] Aya
    I see. In that case...
[08:41] Jin
    What's the matter?
[08:43] Guy
    There's someone heading over here.
[08:44] Jin
    Who is it?
[08:47] Guy
    It's the boy. The boy who was
    masquerading as Boogiepop.
[08:52] Jin
    I see. Deal with him, just as we discussed.
[08:56] Guy
    Understood.
[09:06] Masaki
    Orihata!
[09:09] Masaki
    Orihata!
[09:18] Masaki
    Wh-What the...
[09:35] Masaki
    So that's what's going on.
[09:46] Clown
    There's nothing to fear, Boogiepop-kun.
[09:50] Clown
    There's nothing to be frightened of.
[09:52] Clown
    You'll understand soon enough.
[09:55] Clown
    There's nothing to fear.
[09:56] Clown
    There's nothing to be frightened of.
[09:58] Clown
    You'll understand soon enough.
[10:00] Clown
    There's nothing to be frightened of.
[10:01] Masaki
    Damn it! Let go of me!
[10:04] Clown
    Don't worry. Once you awaken,
    you'll be one of us.
[10:12] Masaki
    S-Stop it!
[10:20] Clown
    Wh-Who are you?
[10:23] Boogiepop
    You should already know
[10:25] Boogiepop
    who I am.
[10:39] Suema
    There's definitely something going on.
[10:43] Boogiepop
    I had no real intention of showing up,
[10:46] Boogiepop
    but if this wasn't taken care of quickly,
[10:48] Boogiepop
    a certain little busybody would've
    gotten herself mixed up in this.
[10:55] Boogiepop
    Three, two, one...
[11:01] Suema
    Isn't this Wagner's...
[11:04] Jin
    "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg"?
[11:07] Jin
    The electricity in the park
    should be shut off.
[11:10] Jin
    What's going on?
[11:15] Masaki
    It was almost like magic.
[11:20] Masaki
    But they aren't a wizard.
[11:23] Masaki
    They're a reaper.
[11:26] Boogiepop
    Hey, there.
[11:28] Boogiepop
    We finally meet.
[11:30] Masaki
    This is who I was pretending to be?
[11:34] Boogiepop
    Well, you'd been brainwashed.
[11:38] Masaki
    Brainwashed? What are you talking about?
[11:40] Boogiepop
    Just what it sounds like.
[11:44] Boogiepop
    There should have been at least one moment
[11:46] Boogiepop
    during your time with Orihata Aya
    when your memories became vague.
[11:51] Boogiepop
    That's when Spooky E paralyzed your fear.
[11:57] Masaki
    But that's—
[12:02] Boogiepop
    Looks like that rings a bell.
[12:05] Masaki
    But then... I...
[12:08] Masaki
    If I was brainwashed, then...
    then my feelings for Orihata...
[12:14] Masaki
    I was just being controlled,
    and my feelings were lies?
[12:18] Boogiepop
    You thought everything you've done up to
    this point was due to your own free will?
[12:24] Boogiepop
    Have you ever done anything that you were 
    completely sure was of your own free will?
[12:32] Boogiepop
    Adapting yourself to society
    is essentially being
[12:35] Boogiepop
    brainwashed to meet societal expectations.
[12:42] Boogiepop
    And you don't even know by whom.
[12:45] Boogiepop
    Now the problem is, within your psyche—
[12:49] Boogiepop
    which has no freedom—what
    do you value the most?
[12:53] Masaki
    I... I...
[12:56] Boogiepop
    What do you desire, while you are so
    tightly bound to this world?
[13:03] Masaki
    I...
[13:08] Aya
    The music stopped. What was that all about?
[13:11] Jin
    Music is highly effective in
    stirring people's emotions.
[13:16] Jin
    It rattles them and robs them
    of their rational judgment.
[13:21] Jin
    But to think that boy is...
[13:24] Aya
    What's wrong?
[13:25] Jin
    It seems we have no more time to waste.
[13:28] Jin
    I'm going to have to deal
    with you right away.
[13:31] Aya
    I see. Then please, get it over with.
[13:34] Jin
    I will.
[13:37] Jin
    Who's there?!
[13:40] Aya
    I-It can't be...
[13:42] Boogiepop
    There's no need to be surprised, Camille-kun.
[13:46] Boogiepop
    Haven't you been searching
    for me this entire time?
[13:50] Jin
    Wh-What? Who are you?
[13:53] Boogiepop
    You should already know
[13:56] Boogiepop
    who I am.
[14:03] Boogiepop
    You're being rather violent just because
    you can't see a flower within me,
[14:08] Boogiepop
    Imaginator.
[14:09] Jin
    You know that much?
[14:11] Boogiepop
    You're not going to forgive me, then?
[14:16] Boogiepop
    Well, whatever. Why don't you go ahead
    and do whatever you were going to do?
[14:21] Jin
    What?
[14:23] Boogiepop
    I'm telling you to go ahead
    and do whatever you want.
[14:28] Boogiepop
    If you can, that is.
[14:35] Jin
    Wh-What? What's going on?!
[14:39] Aya
    I thought this might happen.
[14:43] Aya
    You wanted to use me to do
    something to humans, right?
[14:47] Jin
    So what if I did?!
[14:49] Aya
    I knew it. I figured this
    wouldn't go well, then.
[14:55] Aya
    Because...
[14:59] Aya
    I'm not human!
[15:03] Boogiepop
    I see.
[15:05] Boogiepop
    Regardless, it appears
    that you had already lost.
[15:09] Jin
    Wh-What do you mean?
[15:11] Boogiepop
    The moment you met this girl,
[15:14] Boogiepop
    your defeat had already been ensured.
[15:19] Boogiepop
    I'm not sure how you met, or what kind
    of ironic twist of fate it was, though.
[15:25] Jin
    B-But...
[15:26] Boogiepop
    This is what happens when all you
    care about is the future, Imaginator.
[15:33] Boogiepop
    You believe yourself to be the only
    option, so your feet get swept out
[15:38] Boogiepop
    from under you as soon as another
    unexpected possibility shows up.
[15:44] Jin
    Damn it...
[15:55] Boogiepop
    It's not going to work, Imaginator.
[15:57] Boogiepop
    He can never break through.
[16:00] Boogiepop
    You're just going to keep falling.
[16:05] Boogiepop
    There are no possibilities left for you.
[16:08] Boogiepop
    Even if it were to snow in April,
[16:13] Boogiepop
    it would never accumulate, melting
    away because of the spring's warmth.
[16:51] Aya
    Did he die? Did you kill him?
[16:57] Boogiepop
    Well, he may suffer from
    whiplash for a while.
[17:03] Aya
    Why did you save him?
[17:05] Boogiepop
    Because he wasn't worth killing.
[17:09] Boogiepop
    Now that the Imaginator is gone,
     he's no enemy of mine.
[17:14] Aya
    So if someone was truly your
    enemy, you wouldn't hold back.
[17:19] Boogiepop
    Correct.
[17:29] Boogiepop
    As for those... I guess I can leave them.
[17:32] Boogiepop
    I'm sure the Towa Organization will come
    and deal with them if we leave them be.
[17:36] Aya
    B-But why?
[17:37] Aya
    Why are you helping me?
    I'm supposed to be your enemy.
[17:42] Boogiepop
    And why would you be my enemy?
[17:44] Aya
    Because the Towa Organization is—
[17:46] Boogiepop
    The Towa Organization itself is not my enemy.
[17:50] Boogiepop
    Though I am unsure of what
    you all think about me.
[17:55] Boogiepop
    Same goes for Asukai Jin.
[17:57] Boogiepop
    His powers were never a concern of mine.
[18:02] Boogiepop
    Besides, he gravely misunderstood
    his own powers.
[18:08] Aya
    What do you mean?
[18:10] Boogiepop
    You appear to believe that Asukai Jin
    couldn't harm you because you aren't human,
[18:17] Boogiepop
    but sadly, that doesn't matter.
[18:20] Aya
    B-But...
[18:21] Boogiepop
    Apparently, he could see people's hearts,
[18:25] Boogiepop
    but people's hearts grow through
    communication with others.
[18:31] Boogiepop
    An unparalleled psyche
    that could solve everything
[18:37] Boogiepop
    simply doesn't exist.
[18:39] Boogiepop
    No matter how much he
    tampered with someone's heart,
[18:43] Boogiepop
    the results would only be temporary.
[18:47] Boogiepop
    Even if he had ripped out your heart,
[18:51] Boogiepop
    you would've quickly recovered.
[18:55] Boogiepop
    Because you have something protecting
    you deep within your heart.
[19:04] Masaki
    Damn it... Wait for me, Orihata...
[19:10] Suiko
    It appears that Asukai-sensei was
[19:13] Suiko
    too obsessed with what was
    missing in people's hearts.
[19:16] Suiko
    Whatever was missing merely presented
    the opportunity to make something new,
[19:22] Suiko
    but didn't provide enough
    strength to break through.
[19:25] Suiko
    You're quite impressive.
[19:29] Suiko
    This is as far as I go.
    There's no future for me...
[19:33] Suiko
    But I know that someday, someone
    will be able to break through.
[19:46] Suiko
    I'm reminded whenever I see
     someone strong like you.
[19:58] Boogiepop
    That's the reason why Asukai
    Jin couldn't harm you.
[20:04] Boogiepop
    He only asked me to help out.
[20:07] Boogiepop
    Oh, yes. If you have nowhere to go,
[20:10] Boogiepop
    you should go talk to
    someone close to that boy.
[20:15] Boogiepop
    She's a rather strange one called the Fire
    Witch, but I'm sure she'll help you out.
[20:28] Suema
    What is this?
[20:31] Suema
    What in the world is going on?
[20:40] Suema
    Hey, are you okay?
[20:43] Suema
    Y-You're Masaki-kun!
[20:45] Masaki

[00:29] Boogiepop
    Hey, there.
[00:31] Boogiepop
    I apologize if my whistling
    was bothering you.
[00:34] Echoes
    Oh, no. I was just wondering what
    you were doing in a place like this.
[00:40] Boogiepop
    I'd like to ask you the same thing.
[00:43] Boogiepop
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[00:46] Boogiepop
    Who might you be?
[00:51] Echoes
    My name is Echoes.
[00:53] Boogiepop
    Ah, so you're Echoes.
[00:56] Echoes
    You know me?
[01:00] Boogiepop
    You're Kamikishiro Naoko-san's
    friend, are you not?
[01:03] Boogiepop
    And you came from somewhere
    not of this world.
[01:09] Echoes
    Who are you?
[01:14] Boogiepop
    My name is Boogiepop.
[01:18] Echoes
    That's a rather strange name.
[01:21] Boogiepop
    I could say the same about yours, no?
[01:23] Boogiepop
    But your name is far more poetic.
[01:28] Echoes
    I didn't exactly receive this
    name in the best way, though.
[01:33] Echoes
    And your name... How did you get your name?
[01:41] Boogiepop
    That's a pretty long story.
[01:45] Boogiepop
    I suppose I need to start by
    telling you about the scarecrow.
[01:50] Echoes
    Huh?
[01:54] Boogiepop
    A scarecrow. A straw man used
    to keep the crows away.

    Currently, Teratsuki's company, MCE,
[06:47] Kuroda
    is a very influential
    company within this country.
[06:51] Kuroda
    I guess being too successful
    can be a problem, too.
[06:57] Kuroda
    I happened to find an article about
    a donation to a certain hospital.
[07:02] Kuroda
    Considering he was a philanthropist,
    this was nothing out of the ordinary.
[07:05] Kuroda
    But something about this

[07:11] Kuroda
    The giant system known
    as the Towa Organization
[07:14] Kuroda
    continues to observe and conduct
    experiments all around the world.
[07:19] Kuroda
    It wants to track down whatever it was
    that gave humans their intelligence,

    and it wants to detect whatever is next.
[07:27] Kuroda
    Most of its research
    centers around evolution.
[07:31] Kuroda
    But it doesn't know what exactly comes next.
[07:36] Kuroda
    That's why it's trying to

    I could not confirm any acts of disloyalty

    The only thing that caught my eye
[11:16] Kuroda
    were his investments in

    pose harm to the Towa Organization,

    from me and got him fired, didn't you?
[13:19] Kuroda
    Well... I asked him a few questions...
[13:23] Nagi
    Were you trying to win me over?
[13:27] Kuroda
    What good would that do?
[13:36] Nagi
    I don't understand.
[13:38] Kuroda
    Understand what?

SIGN    Boogiepop and Others
[01:54] Makiko
    I see.
SIGN    Dengeki Bunko
[01:55] Makiko
    So you can't shake the feeling that everyone
    is saying horrible things about you.
[02:00] Makiko
    Do you feel like someone's following you?
[02:03] Guy
    Do you think I'm lying?
[02:06] Makiko
    No, I haven't determined anything yet.
[02:10] Guy
    Doctor, will you hear me out?
[02:12] Makiko
    Of course.
[02:14] Guy
    I've come to realize that there is
    a terrifying evil living in our world.
[02:20] Guy
    Because they know that
     I'm aware of their existence,
[02:24] Guy
    they've been spreading horrible things
    to those around me so I look like a liar.
[02:30] Guy
    It's a terrible thing.
[02:33] Makiko
    And how did you come to this realization?
[02:36] Guy
    Well, I mean, he tells me
    that he's going to harass me
[02:39] Guy
    all the time through the TV and radio.
[02:43] Makiko
    I see.
[02:44] Makiko
    That must be quite the ordeal.
[02:46] Guy
    It really is.
[02:54] Makiko
    Long time no see.
[02:56] Nagi
    Oh, Dr. Kisugi.
[03:02] Makiko
    You seem like you're doing better.
[03:04] Nagi
    And you haven't changed, Doctor.
[03:06] Makiko
    Thank you.
[03:09] Makiko
    But, truly...
[03:10] Makiko
    I'm going to be frank. I still have
     no idea how you were cured.
[03:17] Nagi
    You still think it was all in my head, right?
[03:21] Makiko
    I do, if I'm being perfectly honest.
[03:24] Nagi
    I'm actually starting to think the same now.
[03:29] Makiko
    Do you have any idea what may have cured it?
[03:30] Nagi
    Oh, well, I met someone.
[03:34] Nagi
    After that, I felt like a weight
    had been lifted off my shoulders.
[03:38] Nagi
    I'm wondering if that's
    what actually cured me.
[03:45] Makiko
    I-I see. So what are they like?
[03:48] Makiko
    Is it a guy?
[03:49] Nagi
    He was weird. I never saw
    him again after that, though.
[03:54] Nagi
    I've been looking for him, but I don't
     think I'm going to find him.
[03:58] Nagi
    It's just a hunch, but...
[04:00] Makiko
    Maybe it was love.
[04:03] Makiko
    Am I wrong?
[04:05] Nagi
    Who knows? I'm not really sure myself.
[04:08] Nagi
    I wonder what my dad would say about this.
[04:11] Makiko
    He'd probably tell you that
    first love bears no fruit.
[04:13] Makiko
    You should forget about him.
[04:16] Nagi
    Yeah... You're probably right, but...
[04:21] Nagi
    Hey, Dr. Kisugi... Why did you
    decide to become a psychiatrist?
[04:25] Makiko
    Huh?
[04:27] Nagi
    I have no idea what I want
    to do with my future.
[04:31] Nagi
    Why'd you choose this career?
[04:34] Makiko
    Well... Maybe it's because I'm a coward.
[04:39] Nagi
    What do you mean by that?
[04:41] Makiko
    Analysis of the mind involves
    deconstructing indescribable fear.
[04:49] Makiko
    I've been a huge coward
    ever since I was a child,
[04:53] Makiko
    so I always wondered why I felt
    like that. Why does fear exist?
[04:59] Makiko
    After pursuing that for years,
    I eventually ended up here.
[05:05] Nagi
    Then, if—
[05:07] Announcer
    Kirima Nagi-san, please come to window three.
[05:12] Announcer
    Kirima Nagi-san, please come to window three.
[05:12] Nagi
    Damn, they're calling me.
[05:14] Nagi
    Well, see ya, Doc.
[05:16] Makiko
    Right. See you later, Nagi-chan.
[05:22] Makiko
    As I figured, she hasn't realized a thing.
[05:37] Makiko
    Everything began at that moment.
[05:41] Makiko
    Right after that, Kirima Nagi,
    who had an incurable illness,
[05:44] Makiko
    made a miraculous recovery.
[05:49] Makiko
    Since then, in my experiments,
[05:51] Makiko
    the rats gained regenerative abilities
    that basically made them invincible.
(Flashback) [06:02] Makiko
    I knew it. This can only be called evolution.
(Flashback) [06:07] Makiko
    I wonder what would happen if I injected
    this into one of my patients...
(Flashback) [06:13] Makiko
    Yeah, right. That'd never be possible.
[06:18] Makiko
    But on the other hand...
[06:43] Guy
    We have breaking news regarding
    the current string of murders.
SIGN    High school girl (16) found dead under suspicious 
    circumstances at Hinoki Secondary Park
SIGN    A man jogging through the park discovered  the body of a high school girl (16) from the city
[06:45] Guy
    The body of a teenage girl, who is believed
[06:48] Guy
    to be another victim,
    was discovered last night.
[06:51] Guy
    Due to the excessive damage to the body,
    such as the mandible being pried open,
[06:55] Guy
    the police are investigating this as a part
    of the same serial murders where corpses
[06:59] Guy
    have been left in random
    locations since three months ago.
SIGN    Breaking News: A new victim in the string of grisly murders
    Another high school girl has fallen victim
[07:02] MC
    This is now the fifth victim.
[07:05] MC
    Just like the previous victims,
    her mandible was pried open,
[07:08] MC
    and her brain was sucked out.
[07:11] Guy A
    Yes, the killer may hold some
    extreme superstitions
[07:14] Guy A
    when it comes to the brain.
[07:16] MC
    Could you explain further?
[07:17] Guy A
    They're taking apart the
    skull with extreme care.
[07:21] Guy A
    It could be that they're attempting
    some ritual, or even a curse.
[07:27] Intern
    What is it?
[07:28] Makiko
    Oh, nothing. I just thought
    he looked good on TV.
[07:33] Intern
    I bet they love him for TV spots
     because he's attractive.
[07:36] Intern
    What do you think about
    this case, Dr. Kisugi?
[07:41] Makiko
    Specialists shouldn't involve
    themselves in such extreme cases.
[07:46] Makiko
    That's what the director would say.
SIGN    Breaking News: A new victim in the string of grisly murders
    Another high school girl has fallen victim
[07:50] Intern
    Superstitions involving the human brain...
[07:54] Intern
    But if they're able to take apart a skull,
    they must be extremely knowledgeable.
[07:59] Intern
    Maybe it is some maniac.
[08:02] Intern
    Maybe it's the autopsy itself they're after...
[08:04] Intern
    Like, they get pleasure from
    just taking apart the skull.
[08:08] Intern
    What do you think?
[08:10] Makiko
    No idea.
[08:11] Intern
    But if the killer turns out to
    be someone in the medical field,
[08:14] Intern
    it'll cause a huge problem.
[08:18] Makiko
    It'll be like jumping into a snake's nest.
[08:21] Intern
    Wh-What?
[08:25] Intern
    You mean "a hornet nest," don't you?
[08:28] Makiko
    Was that how that saying went?
[08:29] Intern
    Y-Yes. I'm pretty sure it is.
[08:32] Makiko
    You must not like snakes.
[08:34] Intern
    N-No, that's not it.
[08:38] Makiko
    Do you have some trauma involving snakes?
[08:39] Intern
    N-No. It's just that they're creepy...
[08:44] Makiko
    According to some theories, snakes
    are a metaphor for male genitalia.
[08:49] Makiko
    Was that Freud?
[08:50] Intern
    A-Again, that's not it! It's not like I...
[08:55] Makiko
    Are you all right? You look a bit pale.
[08:58] Intern
    I-I'm fine.
[09:01] Intern
    I think I might be a little tired...
[09:10] Makiko
    This sweetness isn't worth it.
[09:13] Makiko
    It just won't taste right,
    no matter how much I scare him.
[09:16] Makiko
    I guess men just lack depth.
(Flashback) [09:20] Girl A
    Someone... Someone, please save me!
(Flashback) [09:22] Girl B
    Save me!
(Flashback) [09:23] Girl C
    This must be a dream! It has to be!
[09:26] Makiko
    Well, I can't blame you for being tired.
[09:29] Makiko
    A lot's been happening recently... like that
     veteran nurse suddenly getting fired.
[09:34] Intern
    You mean the stuff with the director?
[09:36] Intern
    Yeah, he seems to be a bit crazy lately.
    Things have been really chaotic.
[09:40] Makiko
    Maybe someone has something on him...
[09:45] Makiko
    This isn't enough.
[09:47] Makiko
    Not enough, not enough,
    not enough, not enough,
[09:51] Makiko
    not enough, not enough, not enough,
    not enough, not enough...
[10:01] Makiko
    Shinokita-san, how are you feeling tonight?
[10:06] Makiko
    Did someone come to visit you?
[10:09] Makiko
    Oh, just as I thought...
[10:11] Makiko
    No one's come to see you at all.
[10:14] Makiko
    Apparently that kind nurse who
    was taking care of you quit.
[10:24] Makiko
    Are you lonely, Shinokita-san?
[10:27] Makiko
    You worked yourself to
    the bone for your family,
[10:30] Makiko
    but your wife divorced you,
    and your company demoted you.
[10:33] Makiko
    On top of that, all those years of drinking
    wrecked your internal organs.
[10:37] Makiko
    Your company approved your sick leave for
    now, but I wonder how long that'll last.
[10:43] Makiko
    How are you going to pay your hospital
    bills once your disability runs out?
[10:50] Makiko
    You might've been cured
    if I'd given you that drug...
[10:55] Makiko
    Look at me!
[10:56] Makiko
    I've taken it a bit too far lately,
[10:59] Makiko
    so for now, I have to settle
    for messing with you.
[11:02] Makiko
    Yes, more! Fear me more,
    from the bottom of your heart!
[11:11] Makiko
    Well? Amazing, isn't it?
[11:13] Makiko
    I can even do this!
[11:16] Makiko
    It's all thanks to that drug.
[11:21] Makiko
    I'm just kidding. It's a magic trick.
[11:23] Makiko
    A simple little magic trick.
[11:39] Makiko
    Oh, dear... Again?
[11:42] Makiko
    Watch yourself, Shinokita-san.
[11:45] Makiko
    If you go crazy, you'll end up in my ward.
[11:49] Makiko
    When that happens, I'm going to
    have even more fun with you.
[11:58] Makiko
    Not enough. This isn't enough.
[12:01] Makiko
    I need more, more, more, more, more, more,
    more, more, more, more, more, more, more!
[12:02] Girl
    Help me...
[12:03] Girl
    Help me... Please...
[12:06] Girl
    Please...
[12:10] Makiko
    Something much more powerfully destructive.
    I need that kind of absolute fear!
[12:20] Makiko
    As I thought, women's fear
    tastes better than men's.
[12:23] Makiko
    And the stronger-willed they are, the better.
[12:26] Girl
    But...
[12:27] Suema
    But you're both partially
    to blame, aren't you?
[12:31] Girl
    He's a college student, though...
[12:33] Suema
    That doesn't matter.
[12:35] Suema
    Let's go talk to him in person.
[12:37] Makiko
    And, yes... The younger they are,
    the more fearless they are.
[12:46] Makiko
    If I could have her...
[12:47] Suema
    It'll be fine.
SIGN    A new victim in the serial murders  where corpses are left in random places
[12:55] Caster
    Next, we have breaking news
     regarding the recent serial murders.
[12:58] Mom
    My, how scary. I can't believe
    they're just targeting girls...
[12:59] Caster
    The DNA from the victim's body that was 
    found the other day at Hinoki Secondary Park
[13:01] Mom
    You need to be careful, too, Makiko-san.
[13:04] Caster
    has matched that of a teenager 
    girl who had gone missing nearby.
[13:05] Makiko
    I know.
[13:07] Makiko
    But it would seem...
SIGN    High School Girl's Body Found in Park
SIGN    Very Rare and Macabre Incidents
[13:09] Makiko
    I left a very elaborate clue.
[13:12] Makiko
    At this rate, they're
    definitely going to catch me.
[13:16] Makiko
    I need to find someone to frame
    before killing that other girl.
[13:22] Makiko
    Otherwise, I'll eventually catch the
    eye of whoever produced this drug.
[13:27] Makiko
    But the fact that they were able to
    hide their creation of something
[13:31] Makiko
    like this means that they're
    a huge organization.
[13:34] Makiko
    Right now, I could probably
    take advantage of them...
[13:38] Makiko
    As long as I can find their weakness.
[13:43] Makiko
    Oh? Are you frightened of me?
[13:47] Makiko
    Yes... Individuals gather together.
[13:50] Makiko
    They become a single community, which
    will eventually end up with a weakness.
[13:55] Makiko
    And that still applies even at
    the level of a whole country.
[14:02] Makiko
    I wonder what a whole nation
    writhing in fear would taste like...
[14:10] Makiko
    Well? Have there been any changes?
[14:13] Guy
    You've been kind to me, so I just
    wanted to let you know...
[14:17] Guy
    The world is going to end soon.
[14:20] Makiko
    Oh, dear. That's awful.
[14:22] Guy
    Yes, it really is awful.
[14:25] Guy
    Remember that terrifying
    evil I mentioned before?
[14:28] Guy
    They're finally putting
    their plan into action.
[14:31] Makiko
    I see. That is a problem.
[14:34] Makiko
    Can't we ask them to stop?
[14:36] Guy
    We cannot.
[14:38] Makiko
    Then what should we do?
[14:39] Guy
    There's nothing we can do.
[14:41] Guy
    All we can do is give up and be wiped out,
[14:45] Guy
    while writhing in fear.
[14:48] Makiko
    Are you frightened?
[14:53] Guy
    It should be very scary.
[14:56] Makiko
    That sounds rough.
[14:58] Guy
    It really is.
[15:01] Makiko
    Next, please.
SIGN    Miyashita Touka
SIGN    Chart | Input  Calendar | Memo | Test Results
[15:04] Makiko
    Split personalities?
[15:06] Mom
    Yes. There's a very strange man's
    personality in my daughter's mind.
[15:11] Makiko
    But Miyashita-san, dissociative identity
     disorder can't be diagnosed so easily—
[15:16] Mom
    But it's true!
[15:18] Mom
    I was almost killed by the strange
    man dwelling inside her!
[15:23] Touka
    Mom...
[15:24] Mom
    You be quiet!
[15:26] Makiko
    I'm not sure what happened, but may
    I talk to your daughter in private?
[15:34] Touka
    She's been like that for a while.
[15:37] Makiko
    Is that because you have DID?
[15:40] Touka
    Apparently...
[15:42] Touka
    I don't really understand it, though...
[15:45] Makiko
    So you aren't aware of this yourself.
[15:47] Touka
    Right...
[15:48] Makiko
    By the way, do you get along
    well with your mom and dad?
[15:52] Touka
    N-No... I...
[15:55] Makiko
    I don't think that's the only reason,
[15:58] Makiko
    but problems like that can
    lead to behavior like this.
[16:04] Makiko
    Well, I guess there isn't much I can say.
[16:08] Makiko
    Why don't we test this out?
[16:11] Touka
    What do you mean?
[16:12] Makiko
    Try acting out this supposed
    other personality.
[16:18] Touka
    What?
[16:19] Makiko
    Your mother said it was a strange man.
[16:22] Makiko
    Try imagining yourself as someone like that.
[16:25] Touka
    I-I'm not sure how...
[16:28] Makiko
    It's a form of hypnotherapy.
[16:31] Makiko
    If you truly have DID,
[16:34] Makiko
    the other personality may
    emerge while you're acting.
[16:37] Touka
    I-Is that how it works?
[16:39] Makiko
    Go on, talk like a man.
[16:43] Touka
    O-Okay... I mean... Y-You got it.
[16:47] Makiko
    Yes, exactly like that.
    Relax and keep trying.
[16:51] Touka
    Okay...
[16:52] Makiko
    So, what kind of man are you?
[16:56] Touka
    Um...
[16:58] Makiko
    She said you were strange,
    so you must be quite the oddball.
[17:03] Touka
    A man or a woman... You can think
    of me as whichever you prefer.
[17:07] Makiko
    Oh, so your gender is
    ambiguous? That's different.
[17:12] Makiko
    So, why exactly are you inside Touka-chan?
[17:16] Boogiepop
    I'm actually not sure yet.
[17:19] Makiko
    You're not?
[17:21] Boogiepop
    I feel bad for burdening the Miyashita family,
[17:25] Boogiepop
    but there isn't much I can do about that.
[17:29] Boogiepop
    But I do know my mission.
[17:33] Makiko
    Oh? So you have something you have to do?
[17:35] Boogiepop
    I have to avert the threats to this world.
[17:40] Makiko
    Threats to this world?
[17:42] Boogiepop
    An enemy to this world has appeared near me.
[17:45] Boogiepop
    If nothing is done,
    the world will be destroyed.
[17:48] Makiko
    That's quite the scale you're working on.
[17:51] Boogiepop
    I wouldn't say that.
[17:53] Boogiepop
    Threats to the world can be found anywhere.
[17:58] Makiko
    Really? Then I guess they aren't that scary.
[18:02] Boogiepop
    Of course they aren't... to you.
[18:07] Makiko
    What do you mean by that?
[18:10] Boogiepop
    Because you are an enemy to the world.
[18:19] Makiko
    Her weakness... is gone?
[18:23] Makiko
    An enemy, you say?
[18:26] Boogiepop
    Yes, an enemy.
[18:30] Boogiepop
    But it's not just you.
[18:33] Boogiepop
    Every human has the potential to
    become an enemy of this world.
[18:41] Boogiepop
    Humans are like fuses. They can
    go off at the slightest provocation.
[18:48] Boogiepop
    They can shake the world's foundation without
    a second thought for the consequences.
[18:54] Boogiepop
    I suppose I could be described as a
    natural predator to someone like that.
[19:00] Makiko
    You said all humans, but I believe
    most people are normal.
[19:04] Boogiepop
    It's because they're normal 
    that they turn out like that.
[19:08] Makiko
    What do you mean?
[19:10] Boogiepop
    Say you were to encounter
    something truly unique.
[19:14] Boogiepop
    If you have a strong sense of self,
    you can deal with it calmly.
[19:19] Boogiepop
    But if you're too normal, you'll be
    swallowed up by the waves and swept away.
[19:26] Boogiepop
    It's that kind of rampage
    that's the most dangerous.
[19:30] Makiko
    Is that a form of normalcy bias?
[19:34] Boogiepop
    Who knows?
[19:35] Boogiepop
    It's just that those who are content
    with being normal have no resistance.
[19:41] Boogiepop
    And the world isn't as stable
    as they'd like to think it is.
[19:49] Boogiepop
    Disaster could strike at any time.
[19:51] Boogiepop
    Yes, people who wish to knock down those
    walls have no shortage of chances.
[20:01] Boogiepop
    This is a lovely song. It's very beautiful.
[20:04] Makiko
    Yes. There's nothing wasted.
[20:08] Makiko
    And it contains no trace of fear.
[20:11] Boogiepop
    What do you mean?
[20:13] Makiko
    There's too much fear in this world.
[20:16] Makiko
    Enough to frustrate me.
[20:18] Makiko
    How wonderful it would be if all the fear
     were to disappear from this world.
[20:22] Boogiepop
    I see... So that's your tendency.
[20:26] Makiko
    Does that still make me
    an enemy to this world?
[20:30] Boogiepop
    Everything has multiple sides.
[20:33] Boogiepop
    And of course, they all have
    different interpretations.
[20:38] Boogiepop
    For example, if everything died,
    then there would be no more fear.
[20:44] Makiko
    I see.
[20:46] Makiko
    Then what would you do if you
    ever came across this enemy?
[20:51] Boogiepop
    I would kill them.
[20:53] Makiko
    That's a terrifying thing to say.
[20:55] Boogiepop
    What choice do I have?
    Apparently, that's what I am.
[20:59] Makiko
    So you would show no mercy?
[21:02] Boogiepop
    Correct. And those who become my
    enemies wouldn't want that from me.
[21:09] Makiko
    Like a proper duel, then?
[21:13] Boogiepop
    Don't you agree?
[21:16] Makiko
    What if... I happened to
    kill this girl here and now?
[21:22] Makiko
    If I just killed everyone in
    the hospital as I desired...
[21:27] Mom
    H-How'd it go?
[21:29] Makiko
    It's hard to say right now.
[21:32] Makiko
    I'll need to reevaluate the situation
     once things have calmed down.
[21:36] Mom
    I see...
[21:38] Makiko
    Yes. Now is not the time.
[21:41] Makiko
    Touka-chan.
[21:43] Makiko
    You shouldn't dwell on this too much, either.
[21:47] Touka
    Yes, ma'am.
[21:49] Makiko
    See you later.
[21:50] Touka
    Okay.
[21:51] Touka
    Thank you very much.
[22:00] Makiko
    When I die, I'd like to be sent
    off with a song like this.
[22:05] Makiko
    Nothing depressing like a requiem.

[02:04] Kyou
    I am a big fan of your books.
[02:09] Kyou
    I'm writing you today because I wanted
    to inform you of something.

[02:14] Kyou
    I will soon be dead.
[02:16] Kyou
    I'm going to be murdered.

    I've had a bizarre ability
    ever since I was born.
[02:25] Kyou
    It was not an ability that
    would be accepted in our world,

    and if people found out about it, I would
    no longer be able to live a peaceful life.

[02:54] Kyou
    the ability that I had
    kept hidden for so long.
[02:58] Kyou
    But it appears that the world is going
    to dispose of me as an outsider.
[03:05] Kyou
    I've started to notice strange

[03:08] Kyou
    I'm sure they're assassins

[03:12] Kyou
    I figured this would happen,

    An enemy to modern society?
(Flashback) [03:30] Seiichi
    Gen, are you free right now?
[03:33] Gen
    Sure. What's up? Are you
    researching something again?
(Flashback) [03:38] Gen
    Actually... This is sort of special.
(Flashback) [03:45] Gen
    Seiichi, I'll start by saying
    that he is actually dead.
SIGN    Kirima Seiichi
(Flashback) [03:51] Gen
    He died a month ago. The day
    after the stamp on this letter.
(Flashback) [03:56] Seiichi
    The next day?
(Flashback) [03:57] Gen
    Yeah, and on top of that, he was missing
    three days prior to sending out this letter.
(Flashback) [04:02] Seiichi
    Missing? So he really was up to something?
(Flashback) [04:07] Gen
    About that...
(Flashback) [04:09] Seiichi
    What is it?
(Flashback) [04:10] Gen
    Well, it might not actually be anything...
SIGN    Kirima Seiichi
(Flashback) [04:15] Seiichi
    What is it already?
(Flashback) [04:17] Gen
    He ended up raising the grades
     of those around him.
(Flashback) [04:21] Gen
    But it's not like he was
    tutoring them, either.
(Flashback) [04:26] Gen
    They mentioned that he gave
    them a word or two of advice,
(Flashback) [04:29] Gen
    or he patted them on the head,
(Flashback) [04:31] Gen
    and that's all.
(Flashback) [04:33] Gen
    And not just at school.
(Flashback) [04:34] Gen
    A guy in a band said he was suddenly
    able to write extremely unique songs...
(Flashback) [04:39] Gen
    There are a lot of stories along those lines.
(Flashback) [04:42] Seiichi
    So in other words... Like, if it were me,
    I'd be able to write better novels?
(Flashback) [04:48] Gen
    Exactly.
(Flashback) [04:50] Gen
    Apparently he had the ability
    to... How do I put this?
(Flashback) [04:54] Gen
    The ability to break through
    whatever was holding them back.
(Flashback) [04:58] Seiichi
    That's unbelievable... It's like
    he was able to cause miracles, then.
(Flashback) [05:04] Gen
    I wouldn't say "like"...
(Flashback) [05:06] Gen
    This is just a hunch... but I think
     this kid was the real deal.
(Flashback) [05:09] Seiichi
    How did he die?
(Flashback) [05:11] Gen
    Apparently, he slipped down
    some stairs and hit his head.
(Flashback) [05:15] Gen
    But there were no witnesses.
(Flashback) [05:16] Seiichi
    So after being missing for three days,
    he fell down some stairs and died...
(Flashback) [05:21] Seiichi
    That's what you're saying?
(Flashback) [05:22] Gen
    You'd think that'd cause a huge fuss, right?

    What?

    Like I said, Mom wants to see you.
(Flashback) [06:21] Seiichi
    But why?
(Flashback) [06:22] Nagi
    Who knows?
(Flashback) [06:24] Nagi
    She's getting remarried, so she wanted
    to see you before that, she said.
(Flashback) [06:27] Seiichi
    B-But...
(Flashback) [06:29] Nagi
    If you don't want to see her,
    I'll just tell her that.
(Flashback) [06:33] Seiichi
    A-All right. Tell her I'll see her.
(Flashback) [06:38] Seiichi
    What's the matter?
(Flashback) [06:40] Nagi
    Nothing.
(Flashback) [06:41] Seiichi
    What? Now I'm curious.
(Flashback) [06:44] Nagi
    The guy Mom's marrying is super rich.
(Flashback) [06:48] Seiichi
    And?
(Flashback) [06:50] Nagi
    And apparently it wouldn't be a huge deal
    to add another kid or two to the family.
(Flashback) [06:56] Seiichi
    So, how do you feel about that?
(Flashback) [07:01] Nagi
    Oh, come on. Don't look
    like you're about to cry.
(Flashback) [07:04] Nagi
    I'll stay with you.
(Flashback) [07:06] Seiichi
    Hey... Were you just teasing me?
(Flashback) [07:08] Nagi
    Yeah. Big time.
(Flashback) [07:13] Seiichi
    Man... You're way more responsible than I am.
(Flashback) [07:18] Seiichi
    Thinking back to when I was in grade
    school, I wasn't like you at all.
(Flashback) [07:21] Nagi
    Well, duh. Of course we kids who are born
    after your generation are gonna be smarter.
(Flashback) [07:28] Seiichi
    Is that how it works?
(Flashback) [07:29] Nagi
    It's called evolution. We evolved.
(Flashback) [07:32] Seiichi
    Evolution, huh? Well, aren't
    you all high and mighty?

[07:59] Seiichi
    Modern society is fighting to keep
    the future from happening.
[08:04] Seiichi
    This is a race for survival.
[08:07] Seiichi
    It's probably only a matter of time
    before this observer tracks me down.
[08:14] Suiko
    You're going to die soon.
SIGN    Kiri
[08:17] Seiichi
    I know.
[08:19] Suiko
    You know, and you're fine with that?
[08:22] Seiichi
    There are some things you just can't control.
[08:25] Suiko
    What were you looking at?
[08:27] Seiichi
    Birds.
[08:28] Suiko
    Birds?
[08:30] Seiichi
    Do you know why birds fly in the sky?
[08:34] Suiko
    Because they have wings, right?
[08:37] Seiichi
    Because there aren't many
    other things that fly.
[08:41] Seiichi
    There's nothing else that can fly
    through the skies as freely as birds.
[08:44] Seiichi
    That's why they fly.
[08:46] Suiko
    What do you mean?
[08:48] Seiichi
    If you have nothing competing
    with you, you can keep surviving.
[08:51] Seiichi
    That's how the birds survived for centuries.
[08:56] Suiko
    But even birds fall out of the sky sometimes.
[09:00] Seiichi
    And sometimes it snows in April.
[09:04] Seiichi
    Danger and the unexpected affect
    all living creatures equally.
[09:09] Seiichi
    What's important is how
    you live through them.
[09:13] Suiko
    Humans, too?
[09:16] Seiichi
    Humans, and things beyond humans, too.
[09:20] Seiichi
    There are those who are just a little bit
    different from the humans before them...
[09:24] Seiichi
    And they have to face the same struggle, too.
[09:27] Seiichi
    Though everyone deals with
    that struggle differently.
[09:30] Suiko
    Are you someone important, mister?
[09:32] Seiichi
    Indeed, I am. I'm a humble writer,
    but I happen to be a huge deal.
[09:38] Seiichi
    I'm public enemy number one.
[09:41] Suiko
    Enemy?
[09:43] Seiichi
    People who are too new to this world
    and are forced to become the enemy
[09:48] Seiichi
    seem to be really moved
    after reading my books.
[09:52] Seiichi
    You could call me their leader.
[09:56] Seiichi
    Then again, all I can do is
    give them a bit of a push.
[10:03] Seiichi
    I don't believe in the power
    of words that much.
[10:07] Seiichi
    I can't command or stop them.
[10:14] Suiko
    But you're going to die.
[10:18] Seiichi
    Apparently.
[10:20] Suiko
    So things won't work out.
    They'll end unfinished.
[10:26] Seiichi
    And who gets to decide if
    that's a failure or not?
[10:29] Seiichi
    You can see people's deaths, can't you?
[10:32] Suiko
    Yes.
[10:33] Seiichi
    Do you think that bizarre talent is a curse?
[10:37] Suiko
    I'm not sure.
[10:39] Seiichi
    Yeah. No one truly understands that.
[10:43] Seiichi
    If you were about to start something
    and weren't able to finish it,
[10:49] Seiichi
    no one gets to decide if
    that's a failure or not.
[10:53] Seiichi
    Even if it only looks like a bad thing,
[10:56] Seiichi
    your will to try to do something,
    or even just your earnest feelings...
[11:00] Seiichi
    Things like that will always be
    left behind within others.
[11:05] Seiichi
    Someone after you might do what
    you were trying to do even better.
[11:10] Suiko
    Who?
[11:11] Seiichi
    It might be someone who was your enemy or
    someone who just happened to pass you by.
[11:18] Seiichi
    No one knows, really.
[11:20] Seiichi
    And then that gets transferred
    to the next generation,
[11:23] Seiichi
    and someone might eventually
    make it to the center of the earth.
[11:29] Suiko
    What about you, mister?
[11:32] Suiko
    Do you believe someone
    will continue after you?
[11:36] Seiichi
    Who knows?
[11:38] Seiichi
    Honestly, I just wanted
    someone to read my novels.
[11:44] Suiko
    What's your name, mister?
[11:47] Seiichi
    Kirima Seiichi.
[11:49] Seiichi
    And yours?
[11:51] Suiko
    Minahoshi Suiko.
[12:08] Nagi
    I'm home.
[12:12] Seiichi
    Don't.
[12:14] Seiichi
    If you kill my daughter, too,
    this is going to become a huge deal...
[12:19] Seiichi
    Is that what you want?
[12:23] Mo
    Did you know that you
    were going to be killed?
[12:29] Nagi
    I ended up leaving school early today—

    Dad!
[12:43] Seiichi
    Nagi...
[12:44] Seiichi
    What do you think "normal" is?
[12:56] Mo
    Normal... huh?
[12:59] Pigeon
    Did you say something?
[13:00] Mo
    No.
[13:03] Mo
    I was just thinking how cruel this was.
[13:05] Pigeon
    This should be normal for you.
[13:08] Pigeon
    I mean, you're a murderer yourself.
(Flashback) [13:15] Kyou
    There's a bug inside you.
(Flashback) [13:18] Kyou
    That bug will gradually grow bigger...
(Flashback) [13:22] Kyou
    As it eats everything
    that you try to forget.
(Flashback) [13:27] Kyou
    That bug will eventually decide your fate.
[13:33] Kyou
    And that will be the reason you die.
[13:38] Pigeon
    So, you got any ideas, since
     you're both murderers?
[13:43] Mo
    No, none.
[13:44] Pigeon
    I see. Well, this is your mission this time.
[13:48] Pigeon
    Find out why the killer is killing people
    this way and if need be, dispose of them.
[13:54] Mo
    Understood.
[13:55] Mo
    I'll be on my way, then.
[13:56] Pigeon
    Where are you going to begin your search?
[13:58] Mo
    First, I'll go to the crime scenes.
[14:01] Mo
    I'll find out exactly how they were killed
     and the murderer's possible motive.
[14:04] Pigeon
    The police have already done all that.
[14:07] Mo
    There must be a connection that
    the police haven't caught on to yet.
[14:11] Mo
    It's clear that this killer has a motive.
[14:15] Pigeon
    I guess it takes one to know one.
[14:17] Pigeon
    Gross.
[14:19] Mo
    Pigeon-san, was it?
[14:21] Mo
    You may want to reconsider wearing
    your heart so visibly on your sleeve.
[14:27] Pigeon
    You're the last person I want to
     hear that from, you murderer.
[14:41] Mo
    There are too many eyes here, and someone
    would immediately hear any screams.
[14:47] Mo
    Meaning the killer had the ability
[14:50] Mo
    to finish off their victims quickly,
    before they could even let out a sound.
[14:55] Mo
    But the actual killing is too sloppy.
[14:58] Mo
    No caution or calculation at all.
[15:04] Mo
    I'm sure it was sheer luck
    that they weren't found,
[15:07] Mo

    what does that have to do with you?
[15:43] Nagi
    Don't get so pissy. I was just curious.
[15:47] Mo
    I've seen your face before.
[15:50] Mo
    In a tabloid, I believe, stating
    you're the only daughter of

    a popular author who was killed.

     Sales Department
[15:58] Mo
    I was indeed investigating.
[16:00] Mo
    I'm not sure why, but I felt like I could
    understand what happened in this incident.
[16:05] Nagi
    A normal salaryman like yourself?
[16:07] Mo
    I find it creepy myself,
[16:10] Mo
    but I feel like I have something in
    common with the suspect in this case.
[16:16] Mo
    Why are you interested in this case?
[16:18] Nagi
    Because I'm bored.
[16:19] Mo
    You're bored?
[16:21] Nagi
    Say, Sasaki-san.
[16:23] Nagi
    Wanna investigate this case together?
[16:26] Mo
    Huh?
[16:26] Nagi
    I have money, and you understand
    how the killer feels.
[16:31] Mo
    I think we'd make a perfect pair.
[16:35] Makiko
    I knew that the system was
    already on the move...
[16:39] Makiko
    But what are you trying to do, Nagi-chan?
[16:43] Makiko
    Do you want me to taste you?
[16:47] Makiko
    You do look like you'd taste wonderful.
[16:53] Mo
    This place is completely different from
    the last. It looks ideal for a murder.
[16:57] Nagi
    What the hell?
[16:59] Mo
    What is it?
[17:01] Nagi
    Hey, Sasaki-san, you can imagine
    what the killer was thinking, right?
[17:05] Nagi
    Do you feel anything?
[17:07] Mo
    I can't say it's that easy...
[17:10] Nagi
    Why would they do the same thing here
[17:12] Nagi
    and at the spot earlier where
    everyone could see them?
[17:15] Mo
    I believe it's because it didn't matter
    to them if anyone saw them or not.
[17:20] Nagi
    So they didn't care if they caught
     someone's eye, you mean.
[17:25] Nagi
    What would you do in this case?
[17:27] Nagi
    If you had the motive of
    sucking out someone's brain...
[17:31] Nagi
    Could you actually do it without
     worrying about being seen?
[17:36] Mo
    If it were me, I'd do it
    after hiding the corpse.
[17:40] Mo
    I'd be scared if someone saw me.
[17:42] Nagi
    Scared, huh?
[17:44] Nagi
    Does that mean the killer wasn't scared?
[17:48] Mo
    You seem to lack that as well, Kirima-san.
[17:51] Nagi
    Are you telling me I'm insensitive?
[17:53] Mo
    I'm saying that you're fearless.
[17:56] Nagi
    Fearless, huh?
[17:59] Nagi
    Being scared of something? Fearing something?
[18:03] Mo
    Looks like this won't work.
[18:05] Mo
    We can't get by.
[18:07] Nagi
    Have you ever hit on a girl, Sasaki-san?
[18:09] Mo
    Huh?
[18:10] Nagi
    Have you ever hit on a girl?
    You know, picking up women.
[18:12] Mo
    No... I haven't.
[18:15] Nagi
    Then I guess this is going
    to be your first time.
[18:20] Mo
    Um... Hey.
[18:22] Rika
    Y-Yes?
[18:23] Mo
    Well, it's just... I thought you
    might have known the victim...
[18:30] Mo
    Oh, uh... I promise I'm not
     anyone suspicious...
[18:37] Nagi
    We're investigating this case.
[18:40] Nagi
    Can we ask you some questions?
[18:45] Rika
    Insurance investigators?
[18:47] Mo
    I know it's hard to believe,
    but she's actually 26.
[18:51] Nagi
    Say, Rika-san, why did you try to run away?
[18:53] Mo
    Well, I'm sure there are paparazzi
[18:55] Mo
    looking for anyone who knew the victim.
[18:57] Rika
    What were you two investigating?
[19:00] Mo
    O-Oh, well, you see...
[19:02] Mo
    We're trying to determine if
    the victim was killed at random,
[19:05] Mo
    or if someone had a deep-seated grudge...
[19:07] Rika
    Grudge?! Shizue was—
[19:11] Nagi
    What was Shizue-san like?
[19:14] Nagi
    So no one would hold a grudge against her?
[19:16] Rika
    No.
[19:17] Rika
    She never did anything
    to make anyone hate her.
[19:20] Rika
    That's the truth.
[19:22] Mo
    So she was a cheerful person?
[19:24] Rika
    Yes. She was cheerful and
    really strong deep down.
[19:27] Nagi
    Strong deep down?
[19:29] Rika
    She was very forward with her feelings...
[19:31] Rika
    and determined, plus very outgoing.
[19:34] Rika
    She'd never think twice about
    walking alone in the dark.
[19:38] Rika
    That's why this happened to her...
[19:41] Mo
    She sounds a lot like you, Kirima-san.
[19:43] Nagi
    Even I have things I'm afraid of.
[19:46] Nagi
    But Shizue-san didn't, right?
[19:48] Rika
    R-Right... It could just be that
     I'm a pretty big coward myself...
[19:54] Nagi
    I see.
[19:56] Rika
    I've always been a coward,
    ever since I was little.
[20:03] Nagi
    Why does fear even exist?
[20:06] Rika
    Huh?
[20:08] Mo
    What's the matter?
[20:09] Rika
    The person I met earlier
    said something similar.
[20:11] ---
    What do you mean?
(Flashback) [20:15] Makiko
    It must've been terrifying.
(Flashback) [20:20] Makiko
    Why does fear even exist?
(Flashback) [20:23] Makiko
    If only fear didn't exist, she'd probably
    still be alive and smiling today.
[20:29] Rika
    She was really creepy... So when
    you two called me over, I was...
[20:36] Nagi
    I see... Got it.
[20:39] Mo
    Is something wrong?
[20:40] Nagi
    Sorry. I'll leave some money for the tab.
[20:45] Mo
    Please wait!
[20:47] Mo
    What's gotten into you?
[20:49] Nagi
    You're no longer a suspect, Sasaki-san.
[20:52] Mo
    Huh?
[20:52] Nagi
    Sorry. I was suspicious of you, as well.
[20:56] Nagi
    But now that's been settled.
[20:58] Nagi
    So this is goodbye.
[21:00] Mo
    Why do you no longer suspect me?
[21:03] Mo
    I—
[21:04] Nagi
    What you felt is just an impulse, Sasaki-san.
[21:06] Nagi
    The bug inside you was
    just squirming around a bit.
[21:10] Nagi
    You're actually a kind person.
[21:13] Nagi
    You'd never kill anyone on your own accord.
[21:17] Mo
    We've only just met. What makes you say that?
[21:20] Nagi
    Just a hunch.
[21:21] Nagi
    When I told you to go talk to Rika-san
    earlier, you were honestly flustered.
[21:27] Nagi
    There was no lie there.
[21:30] Nagi
    That's enough, isn't it?
[21:32] Nagi
    See ya.
[21:36] Mo
    Do you... Do you know who the killer is?
[21:43] Makiko
    I gave you a hint... Now all
    I have to do is wait.
[21:47] Makiko
    You'll come, won't you, Nagi-chan?
[21:50] Makiko
    With your extraordinary sense
    of justice, I'm sure you will.
[21:54] Makiko
    And prove to me...
[21:58] Makiko
    that you have strength like a flame
[22:02] Makiko
    that can burn through everything...

    Hey, I was told Dr. Kisugi

    You're right... Just like you.
[07:59] Makiko
    Nagi-chan.
[08:04] Makiko
    Where are you going?
[08:27] Makiko
    It's no use trying to go to the police.
[08:30] Makiko
    Do you really think
    anyone would believe this?
[08:38] Makiko
    I knew it! You only left the hospital
    because you didn't want to involve others!
[08:44] Makiko
    That's wonderful, Nagi-chan!
[08:50] Nagi
    As I figured, she's messing around with me.
[08:54] Nagi
    What should I do?
[08:56] Nagi
    I guess I just have to do this.
[09:03] Makiko
    Not bad, Nagi-chan!
[09:05] Makiko
    So you're trying to protect the
    future of mankind all by yourself.
[09:09] Makiko
    But...
[09:28] Makiko
    This is terrific, Nagi-chan!
[09:30] Makiko
    Keep up this pathetic squirming, please.
[09:40] Makiko
    She definitely has an
    unyielding fighting spirit...
[09:43] Makiko
    But does she really think
    that she can get away?
[09:59] Makiko
    That little—
[10:00] Makiko
    Playtime's over!
[10:08] Makiko
    Fear me, damn it.
[10:12] Makiko
    I'm telling you to fear me!
[10:14] Makiko
    Scream! Pathetically beg for your life!
[10:17] Makiko
    Panic, would you?!
[10:20] Nagi
    I knew it. I figured that's
    what all this was about.
[10:25] Nagi
    The fact that the crime scenes
    lacked any sort of consistency
[10:28] Nagi
    bugged the hell out of me.
[10:30] Nagi
    Despite repeatedly committing
    these perverse murders,
[10:33] Nagi
    the killer lacked any caution.
(Flashback) [10:37] Mo
    If it were me, I'd do it
    after hiding the corpse.
(Flashback) [10:40] Mo
    I'd be scared if someone saw me.
[10:42] Nagi
    That's just it. It wasn't the killer
    who wasn't worried about being seen.
(Flashback) [10:46] Rika
    She'd never think twice about
    walking alone in the dark.
[10:50] Nagi
    Those who fearlessly charged into places
     where no one else was around were the victims,
[10:54] Nagi
    and exactly the type of person
     the killer was looking for.
(Flashback) [10:58] Makiko
    I've been a huge coward
    ever since I was a child,
(Flashback) [11:01] Makiko
    so I always wondered why I felt
    like that. Why does fear exist?
[11:07] Nagi
    What the killer wanted was
    the strength to be fearless.
[11:12] Nagi
    That's your motive, isn't it, Dr. Kisugi?
[11:17] Nagi
    Then Sasaki-san and I showed up.
[11:20] Nagi
    Anyone who'd bother sticking their noses
    into your murders was ideal prey.
[11:28] Makiko
    Impressive, Nagi-chan.
    But sadly, you fall short.
[11:33] Makiko
    Oh, I guess I failed to mention
[11:36] Makiko
    something about that Sasaki Masanori person.
[11:40] Makiko
    He's not human.
[11:43] Makiko
    He's basically like me.
[11:47] Makiko
    His real name is Mo Murder.
[11:49] Makiko
    He works for a certain system.
[11:52] Nagi
    System?
[11:53] Makiko
    And the order he received from
    this system was to investigate me
[11:59] Makiko
    and kill me if necessary.
[12:01] Makiko
    Do you understand now?
[12:02] Nagi
    What are you talking about?
[12:04] Makiko
    To put it simply, that man
    was actually an assassin.
[12:09] Makiko
    I heard he's actually killed dozens of people.
[12:14] Makiko
    I guess you really can't judge
    people by their appearances.
[12:16] Makiko
    Then again, he's not human to begin with.
[12:19] Makiko
    Do you think I'm lying?
    But sadly, it's all true.
[12:25] Makiko
    It just means that you were
    being used by the system.
[12:29] Makiko
    And by me, who was taking advantage
    of this whole situation.
[12:33] Makiko
    Thanks to you getting all nosy,
     I was able to take him down.
[12:39] Makiko
    Thank you very much for your help.
[12:42] Makiko
    I'm going to have Sasaki Masanori-san
    take the fall as the killer for me.
[12:48] Nagi
    Is that why you killed him?
[12:52] Makiko
    I knew it.
[12:53] Makiko
    Her weakness is having someone
    she loves die before her.
[12:58] Makiko
    Correct. I even set up all
    kinds of evidence in his house
[13:03] Makiko
    while you two were out looking for me.
[13:07] Makiko
    But I guess at this point, another
    murder or two won't do any harm.
[13:20] Makiko
    My sweet little girl... You see yourself
    as some kind of superhero, don't you?
[13:25] Makiko
    But the truth is, that man was just using you!
[13:29] Makiko
    Do you get it?
[13:35] Makiko
    Listen to me. The thing you're
    trying to protect is just a fantasy.
[13:44] Makiko
    Wonderful! Wonderful, Nagi-chan!
[13:49] Makiko
    Perfect! That's perfect! Fear me!
[13:53] Makiko
    There's no human who is truly fearless!
[13:55] Makiko
    There is only one absolute in this world...
[13:58] Makiko
    And that's fear!
[14:03] Nagi
    It's not that I'm fearless...
[14:05] Makiko
    Huh? What was that?
[14:09] Nagi
    It's just that I was worried.
[14:13] Makiko
    Worried? Worried about what?
[14:16] Nagi
    That I finally got this far...
    but it'd somehow fail in the end...
[14:22] Makiko
    Fail? What will fail?
[14:36] Nagi
    This attack!
[14:49] Nagi
    This is an insulated suit.
    It's just what a superhero needs.
[15:10] Nagi
    Hold it!
[15:11] Boogiepop
    Well, this is quite the surprise.
[15:15] Boogiepop
    I didn't expect you to escape
    this danger on your own.
[15:20] Boogiepop
    It took me a while to catch up with you,
    but everything seems to have turned out okay.
[15:24] Nagi
    Wh-Who are you?!
[15:26] Boogiepop
    Leave the rest to me.
[15:46] ---
    I'm scared...
[15:47] Boogiepop
    Your quickly-evolved body lost its
    balance due to the electrical shock,
[15:54] Boogiepop
    and it's screaming.
[16:01] Makiko
    So like a proper duel?
[16:05] Makiko
    They're here...
[16:09] Makiko
    It's them... I have to fight them.
[16:14] Makiko
    I'm ready for you!
[16:16] Makiko
    Come at me whenever you'd like!
[16:18] Boogiepop
    Well, all right, then...
[16:24] Boogiepop
    Fear Ghoul.
[16:27] Makiko
    The one who consumes fear...
    That must be my name...
(Flashback) [16:37] Kyou
    I told you...
[16:40] Nagi
    Sasaki-san! Hey!
[16:42] Nagi
    Get it together! Sasaki-san!
[16:48] Mo
    Thank goodness... You're alive...
[16:51] Nagi
    Do you have any final words?
[16:55] Mo
    I guess the bug isn't so bad...
[17:04] Nagi
    The bug?
[17:05] Nagi
    What do you think he meant by that?
[17:07] Boogiepop
    Who knows? But he says it's not
    so bad, so that's all that matters.
[17:14] Nagi
    But...
[17:15] Boogiepop
    Just leave him be.
[17:16] Boogiepop
    I'm sure someone will
    come to take care of him.
[17:21] Boogiepop
    There's a powerful force behind all of this.
[17:26] Boogiepop
    We're better off letting them handle it.
[17:31] Nagi
    So Sasaki-san's going to end up the killer?
[17:34] Boogiepop
    That's a better option than the world
    finding out that the killer was a doctor.
[17:38] Boogiepop
    The patients she treated would be
    looked upon with suspicion, too.
[17:45] Boogiepop
    I'm sure this Sasaki-san will
    be happy to take the blame.
[17:50] Boogiepop
    Anything for you.
[17:55] Nagi
    What are you, anyway?
[17:57] Nagi
    Why did you defeat Dr. Kisugi?
[18:00] Boogiepop
    You're the one who defeated her.
[18:03] Nagi
    I don't know.
[18:05] Nagi
    I feel like I really messed up this case.
[18:10] Nagi
    Nothing went the way I'd planned.
[18:14] Nagi
    What went wrong?
[18:17] Boogiepop
    Must be the bug.
[18:20] Boogiepop
    The world is not always
    moving in one direction.
[18:24] Boogiepop
    Just like a swarm of bugs,
    it moves in all directions.
[18:33] Boogiepop
    Sometimes, they move in one unified motion,
[18:37] Boogiepop
    and other times, like this incident,
     it all falls apart and results in nothing.
[18:43] Boogiepop
    That's all.
[18:45] Nagi
    Then... what should I do from now on?
[18:53] Nagi
    How can I stop this from happening again?
[18:57] Boogiepop
    Do you plan on trying again?
[19:08] Nagi
    You got a problem with that?
[19:11] Boogiepop
    No.
[19:13] Boogiepop
    But in that case, we'll probably keep
    running into each other in the future.
[19:23] Nagi
    Say, what do they call you, anyway?
[19:26] Boogiepop
    Are you asking for my name?
[19:29] Nagi
    What else would I be asking for?
[19:31] Boogiepop
    Well, let's see...
[19:37] Boogiepop
    Boogiepop... I think that's
    what I'll call myself.
[19:44] Nagi
    That's a weird name.
[19:46] Boogiepop
    I could say the same
    about yours, Kirima Nagi.
[19:57] Boogiepop
    And that's how it happened.
[19:59] Echoes
    I see. I guess nothing is ever simple.
[20:05] Echoes
    Everything is complicated.
[20:08] Boogiepop
    Indeed. If Kuroda Shinpei hadn't tried
    to save Kirima Nagi in the first place,
[20:14] Boogiepop
    you and Manticore would've
    never happened upon our world.
[20:19] Echoes
    How ironic.
[20:24] Boogiepop
    This world is about to come to an end.
[20:27] Boogiepop
    I'm glad we met, Echoes-kun.
[20:31] Echoes
    As am I.
[20:37] Echoes
    I don't know what quirk of fate it was,
[20:42] Echoes
    but the reason that Kirima
    Nagi still continues to fight
[20:46] Echoes
    is apparently because she is carrying on
     the feelings of those she encounters.
[20:51] Echoes
    I am also thankful for what fate has done.
[20:57] Boogiepop
    What are you going to do now?
[21:01] Echoes
    Watch over the world from far away...
    No matter what fate has in store for me.
[21:08] Echoes
    In her place.
[21:12] Boogiepop
    I see.
[21:15] Echoes
    What about you, Boogiepop?
    What are you going to do now?
[21:21] Boogiepop
    First, I'm going to ponder how to get
    back from this distorted world.
[21:27] Echoes
    Where did you come from?
[21:30] Boogiepop
    Who knows? I actually have no
    idea how and when I show up...
[21:36] Boogiepop
    Until I go back.
[21:38] Echoes
    Once you return to your world,
    do you plan to continue fighting?
[21:43] Boogiepop
    Well...
[21:53] Boogiepop
    Now, then...

[02:30] Makoto
    I can go by myself. It's fine.
[02:32] Makoto
    I'll be right back.
[02:34] Shizuka
    Do you know where the bathrooms are?
[02:35] Makoto
    I'll be fine! I saw them on the way here.
[02:38] Shizuka
    Make sure you hurry back!
[02:54] Makoto
    It's so weird.
[02:55] Makoto
    Some monster should just show
    up and destroy that thing.
[03:01] Makoto
    Ugh... Then I could just go
    home and play video games.
[03:05] Teratsuki
    Goodness, were you dragged
    here against your will?
[03:11] Makoto
    Who are you, old man?
[03:13] Teratsuki
    "Old man" is a bit harsh. I'm still young.
[03:18] Makoto
    But you're older than me, right?
[03:22] Teratsuki
    Well, I'm sure I look older to you.
[03:25] Teratsuki
    But to tell you the truth... I was just born.
[03:31] Makoto
    What are you, stupid?
[03:33] Makoto
    No way that's true.
[03:36] Teratsuki
    But there are no absolute truths
    in this world, little boy.
[03:44] Teratsuki
    Everything is distorted and twisted somehow.
[03:58] Habara
    The line's already this long?
[04:00] Habara
    The place ain't even opening for over an hour!
[04:03] Habara
    Damn... Guess I gotta wait.
[04:08] Shirou
    Huh? Is that you, Habara-san?
[04:12] Shirou
    You're Habara Kentarou-san, right?
[04:14] Habara
    Oh, hey, Shirou!
[04:16] Habara
    It's been a while!
    Has it been since middle school?
[04:19] Shirou
    I think so. How's school going for you?
[04:22] Shirou
    You went to a pretty
     competitive school, didn't you?
[04:25] Habara
    Well, I'm getting by.
[04:28] Habara
    I ran into some trouble,
    but it all worked out.
[04:31] Habara
    So, what's up? Did you come here by yourself?
[04:34] Habara
    You're not on a date or whatever?
[04:36] Shirou
    No... This was a date.
[04:39] Habara
    Huh?
[04:40] Shirou
    The girl who was supposed to come
     with me can't go anywhere anymore.
[04:44] Shirou
    So I came here alone...
[04:46] Habara
    You mean... she died?
[04:50] Shirou
    I'm not exactly sure... But probably.
[04:55] Shirou
    We passed by this building together
    while they were still building it.
[04:59] Shirou
    She mentioned that she
     wanted to visit it someday.
[05:03] Shirou
    I suddenly remembered that last night,
[05:07] Shirou
    so I decided to come... and treat it like a date.
[05:10] Habara
    I see.
[05:12] Shirou
    What about you, Habara-san?
[05:14] Habara
    Oh, I came here by myself.
    I was just a little curious.
[05:18] Shirou
    Then would you mind hanging out with me?
[05:21] Habara
    Huh? But didn't you say...
[05:24] Shirou
    She liked being with big groups of people,
[05:27] Shirou
    and you're pretty knowledgeable with
    this high-tech stuff, aren't you?
[05:32] Habara
    High-tech? I'm not sure if "high-tech"
    is the right way to describe this thing.
[05:38] Shirou
    That Teratsuki guy who died recently
    was the one who had this built, right?
[05:42] Habara
    Yeah.
[05:43] Habara
    Well, calling this
    Teratsuki Kyouichirou's folly
[05:46] Habara
    might be the best way to describe it.
[05:51] Habara
    He was an entrepreneur who amassed
    an enormous fortune all on his own,
[05:55] Habara
    and helped advance various
    fields through his contributions.
[05:59] Habara
    This is the Tower of Babylon that "the Monster"
    Teratsuki Kyouichirou left behind:
[06:03] Habara
    the Moon Temple.
[06:05] Habara
    Teratsuki made it big with the accessory
    company he founded at the age of 24.

[06:31] Habara
    The Moon Temple that Teratsuki built
    on a whim was supposed to act
[06:34] Habara
    as a central network that
    would connect information
[06:37] Habara
    from all around the world,
[06:40] Habara
    but no one knows exactly why it was built.
[06:44] Shirou
    So they basically built something that
    they don't know what to do with?
[06:51] Habara
    Yeah, though I imagine
    Teratsuki had some ideas for it.
[06:55] Habara
    That said, this thing is definitely impressive.
[06:58] Habara
    They needed some extra funds to help
    resolve the mess Teratsuki left behind,
[07:02] Habara
    so they delayed demolition for a month
[07:04] Habara
    and opened it up to the public
    as some kind of exhibition.
[07:07] Shirou
    Wow... I had no idea.
[07:11] Shirou
    But a central network? Is there any point
    to something like that in this day and age?
[07:17] Habara
    Yeah... Despite how long it took to build,
[07:21] Habara
    I'm sure Teratsuki was
    able to foresee all that.
[07:27] Habara
    Uh-oh... Looks like it might rain.
[07:33] Keiji
    Oh, right... That thing was opening today.
[07:37] Keiji
    Look at all those people...
[07:41] Keiji
    I guess I wouldn't mind seeing
    it if Miyashita wants to go.
[07:46] Touka
    We can, right? I know you
    might be busy, but...
(Flashback) [07:49] Keiji
    Well...
[07:50] Touka
    All I've been doing lately is studying,
    so I've been kinda lonely.
(Flashback) [07:54] Keiji
    Yeah... true.
(Flashback) [07:57] Keiji
    I've been pretty lonely myself,

[08:00] Touka

(Flashback) [08:04] Keiji
    So where do you want to meet up?
[08:06] Touka
    How about the place we first met?
(Flashback) [08:09] Keiji
    Yeah, sure.

    Well, this isn't good.

    The Moon Temple.
[08:34] Keiji
    It's constructed to look like two
    structures pulling at each other,
[08:37] Keiji
    so the whole building is twisted.
[08:40] Keiji
    Everything inside is on a slope,
    so there aren't any actual floors inside.
[08:46] Keiji
    It's pretty interesting from
    an architectural perspective,

    They looked like they were

    Did they? I didn't see anything.
[11:19] Takeshi
    There so was!
[11:20] Takeshi
    They went by super fast,
    so I didn't get a good look...
[11:23] Takeshi
    But they had on a black cape and
    some hat that resembled a... pipe?
[11:27] Sakiko

    something that's lingering in your heart.
[17:36] Noriko
    And the reason I've taken on this form
[17:39] Noriko
    is because you desired it.
[17:43] Masami
    There's still something
    lingering in your heart.
[17:46] Masami
    And in order to do something about that,
    you had to see Saotome Masami once more.
[17:53] Kei
    What are you talking about?
[17:54] Masami
    You should already know what it is.

    Roger that.
[18:20] Noriko
    So, what were we talking
    about, Shinozaki-kun?
[18:27] Noriko
    Three years ago,
[18:28] Noriko
    didn't you invite me to this place
    because you wanted to tell me something?
[18:32] Noriko
    Or did we just randomly end
    up walking home together?
[18:38] Noriko
    This time, I'll wait as long as you need...
[18:41] Noriko
    until you can tell me what you need to say.
[18:48] Kei
    So you're saying that I'm
    here with you right now
[18:51] Kei
    because that's what I wanted?
[18:53] Masami
    Yes.
[18:54] Kei
    But why is it just you? What
    happened to your girlfriend?
[19:00] Kei
    I'm talking about Manticore!
    You two were together!
[19:05] Masami
    Yes. If you so desired, I would
    have appeared as both of them.
[19:11] Kei
    Just so we're clear,
[19:12] Kei
    I've never once thought I wanted
    to be alone with Saotome-kun.
[19:18] Masami
    Yes, I imagine that's the case.
[19:20] Masami
    But I'm not here to fulfill your wishes.
[19:24] Masami
    What matters right now is whatever
    is lingering in your heart.
[19:27] Masami
    I'm here to give you a chance
     to do something about it.
[19:32] Kei
    What are you even talking about?
    What are you trying to achieve
[19:36] Kei

[19:38] Masami
    I'm not trying to do anything.
[19:40] Masami
    You're the one who's going
    to do something, President.
[19:44] Kei
    Don't call me that.
[19:47] Kei
    It's not like I wanted to be—
[19:48] Masami
    "But someone has to do it"?
[19:53] Masami
    It sure looks good on your
    college applications, though.
[19:57] Masami
    I'm sure that's part of the reason why.
[20:00] Kei
    That's not—
[20:02] Masami
    Everyone thinks that.
[20:04] Masami
    "Niitoki Kei is a disgusting,
    brown-nosing shrimp
[20:06] Masami

    like a goody two-shoes."
[20:10] Kei
    You're the last person
     I want to hear that from!
[20:13] Masami
    Then who do you want to hear it from?
[20:17] Masami
    What about Takeda Keiji?
[20:20] Masami
    Takeda Keiji knew that
    you had feelings for him.
[20:25] Masami
    And what if, despite that,
[20:28] Masami
    the reason he never responded to you was
    because that was how he felt about you?
[20:32] Kei
    S-Senpai's not like that...
[20:36] Masami
    He broke your heart. You have
    no reason to defend him.
[20:43] Masami
    I'm sure...
[20:44] Masami
    that's how you feel deep inside, isn't it?
[20:48] Masami
    You should be more honest with
    yourself, don't you think?
[20:57] Masami
    Now, tell me...
[21:01] Masami
    What would you like to do?
[21:05] Kei
    I...
[21:07] Boogiepop
    That's enough.

[21:16] Boogiepop

[21:19] Masami
    Oh? I had a feeling you'd come.
[21:22] Boogiepop
    You know who I am?
[21:25] Masami
    I do.
[21:26] Masami
    And that's exactly why I'm not
    going to let you get in my way.

[02:05] Shizuka
    This feels weird, King of Distortion.
[02:09] Shizuka
    That's your name, right?
[02:13] Teratsuki
    You can call me whatever you'd like.
[02:15] Shizuka
    Right.
[02:17] Shizuka
    Well, my mother—along with
     my father, and myself, too—
[02:24] Shizuka
    We all hated it when I became a mother.
[02:27] Shizuka
    When I got pregnant with
    Makoto, I was only twenty.
[02:31] Shizuka
    I didn't know whose kid he was,
    but out of all the relationships I'd had,
[02:37] Shizuka
    you're the only one
     I wanted to be his father.
[02:43] Teratsuki
    I see. So, how much do you want?
[02:47] Shizuka
    Th-That's not why I brought this up!
[02:48] Teratsuki
    I'll give you as much as you'd like,
[02:50] Teratsuki
    but I refuse to acknowledge
    the child as my own or marry you.
[02:55] Teratsuki
    I don't have citizenship, so city hall
    wouldn't accept it, anyway.
[03:01] Teratsuki
    I don't know whose kid it is,
    but it also doesn't really matter.
[03:06] Shizuka
    What's that supposed to mean?
[03:08] Teratsuki
    I can't have children.
[03:12] Shizuka
    I'll tell the media about this!
    Your reputation will be ruined!
[03:17] Teratsuki
    Let me just warn you...
    I really wouldn't do that.
[03:21] Teratsuki
    That would put your life in danger.
[03:23] Shizuka
    As if I'd fall for a bluff like that.
[03:25] Teratsuki
    If only I were bluffing...
[03:28] Teratsuki
    So, going back to the subject of money...
[03:31] Teratsuki
    This is your chance. I really encourage
    you to take as much as you can from me.
[03:35] Teratsuki
    You can never have enough money
    when it comes to raising a child.
[03:41] Teratsuki
    You're not going to say you
    don't need any money, are you?
[03:45] Shizuka
    You're not going to tell me not to have it?
[03:48] Teratsuki
    Is that what you want to hear?
[03:51] Teratsuki
    If you don't want to
    have it, I won't stop you,
[03:54] Teratsuki
    but I personally think that'd be a waste.
[03:58] Shizuka
    Even though I don't even
    know who the father is?
[04:00] Teratsuki
    Then just marry anyone you want.
[04:04] Teratsuki
    That won't change my mind
    about giving you money.
[04:07] Teratsuki
    I'd act now if I were you, though.
[04:09] Teratsuki
    In a few years... maybe six?
    I'll probably be disposed of.
[04:15] Shizuka
    Huh?
[04:16] Teratsuki
    Then I won't be able to pay you.
[04:18] Teratsuki
    Of course, I don't intend
    to go without a fight.
[04:23] Teratsuki
    I plan to leave one last parting gift.
[04:29] Shizuka
    He had such a serious expression
    that I couldn't say anything.
[04:35] Shizuka
    After that, I took Teratsuki's
    money and gave birth to Makoto.
[04:42] Shizuka
    I thought the best way to get him back
    was to raise Makoto to be a great person.
[04:49] Shizuka
    But then Teratsuki died.
[04:53] Shizuka
    Not in the six years that he predicted,
[04:56] Shizuka
    but in eight.
[04:59] Shizuka
    And now, Teratsuki is sitting
    next to me, just like before.
[05:06] Teratsuki
    You don't like your mother?
[05:07] Shizuka
    That's not it. She doesn't like me.
[05:11] Teratsuki
    That's not very nice.
[05:15] Shizuka
    After I started raising my
    son, I started to realize
[05:17] Shizuka
    that there were things my
    mother never did for me.
[05:23] Teratsuki
    But you're giving your child the proper
    love and care that he deserves.
[05:29] Teratsuki
    That's great.
[05:33] Shizuka
    Hey, what's your deal?
    What are you trying to do?
[05:38] Shizuka
    I mean... This is all your doing, right?
[05:42] Shizuka
    You planned all of this,
    didn't you, Kyouichirou-san?
[05:45] Teratsuki
    I'm not so sure about that.
[05:47] Shizuka
    Well, who else is there?
[05:49] Teratsuki
    Besides, when did I ever say that
    I was actually Teratsuki Kyouichirou?
[05:54] Shizuka
    Huh?
[05:55] Teratsuki
    You only came to this world
    because you wanted to.
[05:59] Teratsuki
    Who I am has nothing to do with you.
[06:04] Shizuka
    Then you really don't
    care what happens to me?
[06:09] Shizuka
    Just like my mother...
[06:13] Shizuka
    I was in love with you.
[06:16] Shizuka
    It's true. I really, really loved you.
[06:20] Shizuka
    I couldn't say it back then, but...
[06:23] Teratsuki
    Is it just that you couldn't say it?
[06:25] Teratsuki
    Maybe that's what you thought you felt
    now that you're looking back on it.
[06:29] Shizuka
    Why does that matter?
[06:31] Shizuka
    I just want to throw everything out.
[06:36] Shizuka
    I was such a fool, all this time...
[06:42] Shizuka
    Wait a second! Is this really in the past?
[06:46] Shizuka
    Where's Makoto? What happened to him?
[06:49] Shizuka
    Does this mean he's not going to be born?
[06:52] Teratsuki
    Who knows? I'm not sure.
[06:55] Teratsuki
    You might actually get your wish.
[07:00] Shizuka
    What do you mean by that?
[07:03] Shizuka
    You can't mean...
[07:05] Shizuka
    that I could possibly make
    Makoto your real son?
[07:10] Teratsuki
    Who knows? I'm not sure.
[07:18] Sakiko
    I feel like it's been a while since
    I started looking for Boogiepop.
[07:28] Hinako
    Sakiko! I see that you give up
    as easily as ever. Here.
[07:34] Sakiko
    Well, what am I supposed to do?
[07:37] Sakiko
    I'm not as smart as you, Hina-chan.
[07:48] Sakiko
    Huh?
[07:49] Hinako
    What is it?
[07:50] Sakiko
    It's just... Is this where we were?
[07:54] Hinako
    What's that supposed to mean?
[07:56] Sakiko
    Well, I mean...
[07:58] Hinako
    What are you talking about?
[08:00] Sakiko
    Never mind, it's nothing.
[08:03] Sakiko
    I'm just tired and a little out of it.
[08:05] Hinako
    You never change, Sakiko.
[08:08] Sakiko
    Neither do you, Hina-chan.
    But you're so pretty now.
[08:13] Hinako
    Really? Well, thank you.
[08:17] Sakiko
    The Hina-chan I knew was a
    really lively eleven-year-old girl.
[08:21] Sakiko
    She was popular and always cheerful.
[08:25] Hinako
    But you're really pretty now, too, Sakiko.
[08:28] Hinako
    I bet you're really popular.
[08:30] Sakiko
    I'm not.
[08:32] Sakiko
    All the guys interested in me are losers.
[08:35] Sakiko
    Even the guy I was with today
    couldn't figure anything out.
[08:40] Hinako
    I think he just wanted to have fun with you.
[08:44] Sakiko
    He just doesn't know when to stop, though.
[08:46] Hinako
    Oh, come on. You feel something for him, right?
[08:50] Sakiko
    No way!
[08:52] Sakiko
    I'm sure you'll understand once
    you start dating, Hina-cha—
[08:57] Hinako
    Well, I've never been on a date, so...
[09:01] Sakiko
    Hey, Hina-chan... When did that happen?
[09:04] Hinako
    What?
[09:06] Sakiko
    You know... That thing...
[09:08] Sakiko
    Right before summer break started...
[09:11] Sakiko
    I said something awful to you, and...
(Flashback) [09:14] Sakiko
    Guys will never like a stupid
    beanpole like you!
(Flashback) [09:18] Sakiko
    You're just gonna die like that!
[09:26] Sakiko
    After that... I wanted to
    apologize to you so badly, but...
[09:33] Sakiko
    Once summer vacation was over...
    Once I saw you at school...
[09:37] Sakiko
    I was going to apologize...
[09:39] Sakiko
    But you...
[09:42] Hinako
    I died along with my
    family in a car accident.
[09:46] Hinako
    It was a tragic accident.
[09:49] Sakiko
    I was jealous of you, Hina-chan.
[09:53] Sakiko
    There were rumors saying that the boy
[09:55] Sakiko
    I happened to like back
    then had feelings for you.
[09:58] Sakiko
    So I...
[09:59] Hinako
    Maybe she didn't care so much.
[10:02] Sakiko
    But I've wanted to apologize this whole time!
[10:06] Sakiko
    I'm so sorry! I'm sure you'll be
    beautiful when you grow up, Hina-chan!
[10:12] Sakiko
    I really think that!
[10:14] Sakiko
    So I...
[10:16] Sakiko
    I wanted to say I'm sorry...
[10:22] Hinako
    That's what's been bothering you?
[10:25] Sakiko
    Yeah...
[10:27] Sakiko
    That's not Hinako-chan...
[10:30] Sakiko
    I know there's no point
    in me telling you this...
[10:35] Sakiko
    But I'm an awful person
    who has no right to live,
[10:39] Sakiko
    so... so I...
[10:43] Sakiko
    I wanted Boogiepop to kill me!
[10:48] Hinako
    Boogiepop...
[10:49] Sakiko
    They were right here! I saw them!
[10:52] Hinako
    Yes, I know.
[10:55] Sakiko
    You do?
[10:56] Hinako
    But I wonder if Boogiepop
    will actually kill you.
[11:01] Hinako
    Do you think they'll save
    you from your suffering?
[11:06] Sakiko
    Well... Will you kill me, then, Hina-chan?
[11:12] Sakiko
    Hey, who are you?
[11:16] Hinako
    You were suffering.
[11:18] Hinako
    This whole time, you've been suffering
    so much that you couldn't even realize it.
[11:24] Hinako
    It's impossible to get rid of that pain now,
[11:27] Hinako
    because it consumes your whole heart.
[11:32] Hinako
    That's why you must take
[11:34] Hinako
    the pain you want to erase from your heart,
[11:39] Hinako
    and turn it into gold instead.
[11:43] Sakiko
    Gold?
[11:44] Hinako
    Yes.
[11:46] Hinako
    All that glitters.
[11:53] Ken
    Back then,
[11:54] Ken
    I was using a hacking tool I happened upon
    to look into investment companies,
[12:00] Ken
    to steal their client data and
    sell it onto the black market.
[12:07] Ken
    Come on... Come on!
[12:10] Ken
    Yes!
[12:13] Ken
    Don't blame me. Blame the person who
    made this incredibly convenient tool.
[12:21] Ken
    I always chose companies
    that operated in a gray area,
[12:25] Ken
    so it'd be hard to track me down...
[12:28] Ken
    Or so I thought.
[12:30] Ken
    Wh-What the hell is this?!

    Shit!

    And sadly, I was right.

    Was that a trap?

    Are you a high school student?
[12:58] Ken
    Yes, I am.

[13:15] Ken
    Well, I guess I come this way sometimes.
[13:18] Ken
    Is there a problem?
[13:20] Cop
    Could I take a look in your bag?
[13:22] Ken
    Um... There's nothing
    really important in there.
[13:26] Cop
    I'd still prefer to make sure.
[13:29] Ken
    I-I see...
[13:31] Nagi
    Kentarou.
[13:35] Nagi
    Did something happen?
[13:38] Nagi

    How do you know about me?
[14:02] Nagi
    You should give up on that business of yours.
[14:05] Nagi
    You haven't run into too
    many problems so far,
[14:08] Nagi
    but things are about to change.
[14:11] Nagi
    This world isn't as kind as you think.
[14:16] Ken
    Don't tell me that warning was...
[14:18] Nagi
    Well, thanks to you, I was able to crush
    one investment scam group's network.
[14:25] Ken
    Hey, what the hell do you mean by that?
[14:28] Nagi
    Nothing, really.
[14:29] Ken
    Are you the one who made that hacking tool?
[14:33] Nagi
    Of course I'm not. I'm sure
    someone like the NSA made it.
[14:38] Ken
    Which means someone altered
    it and spread it onto a site.
[14:42] Nagi
    I never thought I'd meet anyone
    who could actually use it, though.
[14:48] Ken
    I see. So I've been dancing in the
    palm of your hand this whole time.
[14:53] Nagi
    I don't feel bad about it.
    You did a half-assed job, anyway.
[14:57] Ken
    No, that's not what I meant.
[15:00] Ken
    Why didn't you just tell
    me in the first place?
[15:03] Ken
    If you'd just explained
    everything to begin with,
[15:06] Ken
    I would've been happy to help you out.
[15:08] Ken
    Why didn't you just ask me?
[15:11] Ken
    Well? Kirima Nagi-san from Shinyou Academy.
[15:18] Nagi
    How do you know my name?
[15:20] Ken
    Guess you're not too careful yourself.
[15:22] Ken
    There's nothing weird about some
    guys trying to find out more about
[15:26] Ken
    someone as hot as you.
[15:29] Ken
    This was my memorable
    first meeting with Nagi.
[15:35] Ken
    And apparently, what's going on
    right now is its continuation.
[15:40] Nagi
    So what you're saying is that
    this is love at first sight?
[15:45] Ken
    Pretty much... Though I never
    would've been able to say that.
[15:51] Nagi
    Why not?
[15:53] Ken
    Huh? How the hell am I supposed to tell her?
[15:55] Ken
    She's a superhero.
[15:58] Ken
    She's got no time for someone like me.
[16:00] Nagi
    Well, aren't you admirable.
[16:03] Ken
    No matter how you look at
    this, this is an illusion.
[16:06] Ken
    I'm still inside the Moon Temple.
[16:09] Nagi
    Oh? Is that what you think?
[16:11] Ken
    I don't know how this trick works, but don't
    think you can trap me in here forever.
[16:17] Ken
    I'm gonna get the hell outta here for sure.
[16:19] Nagi
    That's rather noble of you, Kentarou.
[16:22] Ken
    Only because you're looking
    at me with that face.
[16:25] Ken
    Listen up, King of Distortion.
[16:26] Ken
    Everything here is something
    I've seen before.
[16:30] Ken
    Which means this is my memory,
[16:34] Ken
    and this is just going on in my head.
[16:36] Ken
    It's basically a dream.
[16:39] Nagi
    I see. Well done.
[16:43] Nagi
    But haven't you ever considered
[16:47] Nagi
    that this world we live in is a nightmare?
[16:53] Nagi
    What's the easiest way to escape a nightmare?
[16:58] Ken
    What does that mean?
[17:00] Nagi
    It's extremely simple.
[17:03] Nagi
    A trifle, really.
[17:07] Ken
    Wh-What was that?!
[17:09] Saotome
    I just told you, didn't I?
[17:12] Saotome
    It's extremely simple.
[17:15] Ken
    Who the hell are you?!
[17:16] Saotome
    You sure I'm not part of your memory?
[17:19] Ken
    I asked you who you are!
[17:22] Saotome
    Saotome Masami. Just like you, I had
    unrequited feelings for Kirima Nagi.
[17:29] Saotome
    Now... Will you be able to
    make it out of this nightmare?
[17:35] Ken
    Damn it!
[17:45] Ken
    Don't tell me...
[18:01] Ken
    No way! This has to be a dream!
[18:27] Ken
    Hey! What the hell are you doing there, kid?
[18:30] Ken
    Let's get out of here!
[18:31] Mako
    Who are you, mister?
[18:33] Ken
    Don't call me that! I'm still in high school!
[18:36] Ken
    Shit! Here it comes.
[18:42] Mako
    Hey... Are you able to see Zooragi?
[18:46] Ken
    Zooragi? Are you talking about that monster?
[18:50] Mako
    Yeah.
[18:52] Ken
    Hey, aren't you...

    That's what you get for not
    holding it properly. Jeez.
(Flashback) [19:04] Mako
    Man...
[19:07] Ken
    I see. So that's what's going on here.
[19:12] Mako
    What are you doing? Weren't
    we getting out of here?
[19:15] Ken
    Yeah, you're right.
[19:19] Ken
    This pretty much solidifies the fact that
    this is all taking place in my memories.
[19:25] Ken
    Apparently that Saotome guy
    showed up just like this kid,
[19:29] Ken
    because I must've seen them somewhere.
[19:31] Ken
    In that case, to get out of here...
[19:34] Ken
    To wake up from this nightmare...
[19:44] Mako
    Are we gonna be okay going back in there?
[19:49] Ken
    Yeah, don't worry.
[19:51] Ken
    Leave this to me.
[19:54] Ken
    Hey.
[19:55] Mako
    I'm... exhausted.
[19:59] Ken
    All right... Fine.
[20:01] Ken
    You wait here.
[20:03] Ken
    Got it?
[20:15] Ken
    Just as I thought.
[20:17] Ken
    You dumbass! Hurry and wake the hell up!
[20:26] Ken
    Hey, Shirou! Wake up!
[20:35] Shirou
    Habara-san... What was I...
[20:38] Ken
    It's not just you. Everyone here's
    in the same boat, including me.
[20:42] Shirou
    Th-This is... What in the world is going on?
[20:58] Ken
    I'm not really sure myself,
[21:00] Ken
    but apparently everyone fell asleep
    at some point, and they're dreaming.
[21:04] Shirou
    Dreaming?
[21:05] Ken
    You had one too, right?
[21:09] Shirou
    Come to think of it...
[21:12] Shirou
    I was meeting with her...
[21:14] Ken
    Did this girl happen to call
    herself the King of Distortion?
[21:19] Shirou
    Yes, she did.
[21:21] Ken
    I knew it.
[21:23] Shirou
    You met them, too?
[21:25] Ken
    Yup.
[21:26] Ken
    That bastard... What's he trying to do?
[21:31] Shirou
    Habara-san, do you have any idea
    who the King of Distortion is?
[21:36] Ken
    Who the hell else could it be?
[21:39] Ken
    It's the one who built this
    damn thing to begin with.
[21:42] Shirou
    Teratsuki Kyouichirou?
[21:44] Ken
    But isn't he dead?
[21:47] Ken
    That's the problem here.
[21:49] Ken
    Maybe he didn't die and he's
    hiding somewhere around here,
[21:53] Ken
    or he managed to set something up
    here to function even after he died.
[21:59] Ken
    Either way, he really thought this out...
[22:03] Ken
    We're all dancing in the palm of his hand.

SIGN    Dengeki Bunko
[01:39] Kei
    Wh-What is this?
[01:42] Kei
    What's going on?
[01:43] Boogiepop
    I do not know.
[01:45] Kei
    But you reappeared because you sensed
    another threat to this world, right?
[01:49] Boogiepop
    Yes, that is correct, but I don't
    know exactly what this threat is.
[01:56] Boogiepop
    I appear automatically, after all.
[01:59] Kei
    Even in this situation?
[02:02] Kei
    Just find this King of Distortion
    and take him out already!
[02:06] Boogiepop
    If it were actually that simple,
    I wouldn't need to appear.
[02:11] Boogiepop
    Besides, I'm not entirely
    sure if he's my enemy yet.
[02:16] Kei
    What's that mean?
[02:17] Boogiepop
    It seems the being that calls
    itself the King of Distortion
[02:21] Boogiepop
    is trying to draw some kind
    of reaction out of people.
[02:26] Boogiepop
    What I mean is, that
    alone isn't destructive.
[02:31] Boogiepop
    It's not like last time.
[02:33] Kei
    Last time? You mean with Manticore?
[02:37] Boogiepop
    It appears the real threat
    hasn't appeared yet this time.
[02:51] Boogiepop
    Hunger affects your nerves.
[02:54] Boogiepop
    You should eat something.
[02:56] Kei
    Could this be...
[03:01] Boogiepop
    Yes, I believe Miyashita Touka made it
    to eat it together with Takeda Keiji.
[03:08] Kei
    I-I don't want this!
[03:11] Boogiepop
    It's still food, regardless.
[03:13] Kei
    I feel bad for Miyashita-san, though.
[03:16] Boogiepop
    It's fine. I'm sure she'll deal with it.
[03:20] Kei
    Really?
(Flashback) [03:23] Suema
    Split personalities?
(Flashback) [03:25] Kei
    Yeah... Like someone's
    personality suddenly changing.
(Flashback) [03:30] Suema
    Niitoki-san, first off, most cases of
    dissociative identity disorder are fake.
(Flashback) [03:38] Kei
    Huh?
(Flashback) [03:38] Suema
    They're just acting. At least,
    I think most of them are, anyway.
(Flashback) [03:43] Kei
    But... Th-There are all kinds of cases...
(Flashback) [03:48] Suema
    Yes, there are, but there's no way to
    prove that they're completely true.
(Flashback) [03:53] Suema
    Dissociative identity disorder
    is nothing more than a theory.
(Flashback) [03:59] Suema
    Niitoki-san, even you have some
    kind of secret, don't you?
(Flashback) [04:03] Suema
    And when you're trying to hide it,
    aren't you just acting?
(Flashback) [04:06] Suema
    You probably seem rather different
    from yourself at times, too.
(Flashback) [04:11] Suema
    But if someone said that was
    actually another identity,
(Flashback) [04:14] Suema
    isn't that a bit too much?
(Flashback) [04:16] Kei
    W-Well, yeah...
(Flashback) [04:19] Suema
    The human heart has many more sides
    than people are willing to admit.
(Flashback) [04:25] Kei
    B-But isn't it possible that someone
    might not even realize
(Flashback) [04:28] Kei
    that they have another identity?
(Flashback) [04:31] Suema
    True, but...
(Flashback) [04:33] Suema
    How are you supposed to prove that?
(Flashback) [04:37] Kei
    Huh? Um...
(Flashback) [04:39] Suema
    There's a part of dissociative identity 
    disorder that's probatio diabolica.
(Flashback) [04:44] Suema
    They might be lying, but to prove that...
(Flashback) [04:49] Kei
    It might be difficult?
(Flashback) [04:51] Suema
    I believe that multiple personalities
    come from someone's desires.
(Flashback) [04:56] Suema
    At times, it's a way for someone
    to deny that they've done something
(Flashback) [05:00] Suema
    and blame someone else who's
    supposedly inside of them.
(Flashback) [05:04] Kei
    I see...
(Flashback) [05:06] Suema
    Those feelings, which everyone
    has, are what affirm
(Flashback) [05:11] Suema
    the existence of dissociative
    identity disorder.
(Flashback) [05:13] Suema
    That's what I believe.
[05:17] Kei
    Feelings that everyone has, huh?
[05:24] Kei
    This is good.
[05:32] Kei
    You're good at that.
[05:35] Boogiepop
    You're the second person to tell me that.
[05:38] Kei
    Who was the first?
[05:40] Boogiepop
    Takeda-kun.
[05:42] Kei
    Senpai knows about you, too?
[05:45] Boogiepop
    Yes.
[05:46] Kei
    I wonder what he thinks about all this...
[05:48] Kei
    Your existence is quite a burden, you know?
[05:51] Boogiepop
    Well, he's a good person.
[05:55] Kei
    Why does Miyashita-san like Senpai?
[05:59] Boogiepop
    Who knows? I'm not certain myself, but
    I'd suspect it's for the same reason you do.
[06:07] Boogiepop
    Why did you end up liking Takeda-kun?
[06:14] Kei
    Probably because he's nice.
[06:17] Kei
    I wonder if it's the same for Miyashita-san.
[06:20] Boogiepop
    Again, I'm not sure.
[06:23] Kei
    What about you, then? What do
    you think about Takeda-senpai?
[06:28] Boogiepop
    I don't have my own sense of self.
    What I'm thinking matters to no one.
[06:37] Kei
    That's not fair.
[06:40] Boogiepop
    I'm grateful for Takeda-kun.
[06:43] Boogiepop
    He's the only one who ever
    called me their friend.
[06:48] Boogiepop
    Yes...
[06:50] Boogiepop
    In that sense, you could even
    say that I'm a bit jealous.
[06:56] Kei
    Jealous?
[06:58] Boogiepop
    Jealous of Miyashita Touka, just like you.
[07:04] Kei
    Wh-What? What's going on?
[07:08] Kei
    Hey, wait!
[07:29] Kei
    Wh—
[07:30] Kei
    Why are you here again?
[07:32] Saotome
    Looks like they're gone.
[07:35] Saotome
    Now, let's continue our conversation.
[07:42] Guy
    What do you mean, there's no
    blueprint data remaining?
[07:45] Guy B
    What can we do? The president deleted them.
[07:49] Keiji
    Is Miyashita in there?
[07:52] Guy
    Could this be a time-delayed device?
[07:55] Guy B
    A time-delayed device?
    What are you talking about?
[07:58] Guy
    Like, maybe the president planned
    for this to happen before he died.
[08:02] Keiji
    If she is in there, could
    it actually be Boogiepop?
[08:12] Sakiko
    Say, Hinako...
[08:15] Sakiko
    Will you forgive me?
[08:17] Hinako
    I'm not the one who decides that.
[08:20] Sakiko
    Yeah... This is an illusion, after all.
[08:23] Sakiko
    The truth is that you're already dead,
    and you probably hate me, but...
[08:28] King
    But what?
[08:30] Sakiko
    You're the guy from earlier...
[08:33] King
    I appeared this way because
    he was in your memories.
[08:36] King
    That's probably what he'd say, anyway.
[08:39] Sakiko
    Then are you the King of Distortion?
[08:41] King
    Who knows? That doesn't really matter.
[08:44] King
    What matters is, even if you ask
    Hinako-kun for forgiveness,
[08:48] King
    you'll never get an answer.
[08:52] Hinako
    Hey, did you ever think about me
     from time to time before this?
[08:58] Sakiko
    Huh?
[08:59] Hinako
    You probably completely
    forgot about me until today.
[09:03] Sakiko
    I'm sorry.
[09:05] Hinako
    No... The fact that you had forgotten
    shows how great your guilt was.
[09:10] Hinako
    It was what was tying you down.
[09:13] Hinako
    But at this rate, Hinako's existence
    will only continue to harm you.
[09:19] Hinako
    Even though it should be fun,
    just like we're having now.
[09:27] Sakiko
    Is that what you mean by gold?
[09:29] Hinako
    No... It's everything that you think glitters.
[09:37] Sakiko
    What's that noise?
[09:38] Hinako
    You don't need to worry about Zooragi.
[09:42] Sakiko
    Zooragi?
[09:43] Hinako
    Yes.
[09:45] Sakiko
    You don't need to worry about it.
[09:48] Shirou
    An illusion?
[09:50] Habara
    Yeah. They probably filled
     the place with psychotropic gas.
[09:57] Habara
    I mean, the guy made a completely
    closed-off building.
[10:01] Habara
    There's a good chance that Teratsuki
     Kyouichirou is behind all of this.
[10:05] Shirou
    But even if that's true,
    what was he trying to do?
[10:09] Habara
    Right. Also, why did he make this
    place like one giant staircase?
[10:13] Habara
    There are tons of questions.
[10:17] Habara
    I can't get through...
[10:19] Shirou
    This does seem like some demon
    lord's tower from a video game.
[10:23] Habara
    That's not even funny...
[10:25] Shirou
    Oh, Habara-san! There's a hatch over here.
[10:32] Habara
    Looks like someone went through before us.
[10:35] Habara
    It might lead to the control room.
[10:37] Habara
    Let's go.
[10:41] Shirou
    What is this? Talk about horrible taste...
[10:48] Habara
    There's nothing here. Looks like
    it's just some storage space.
[10:51] Habara
    I guess that means the control
    room might be on the top floor.
[10:54] Habara
    This fells more and more
    like a game, huh, Shirou?
[10:58] Habara
    What are you looking for?
    Think we can get outside?
[11:01] Shirou
    No...
[11:02] Shirou
    I just thought there might be
    signs that they might be here.
[11:06] Habara
    They?
[11:08] Shirou
    It's nothing.
[11:11] Shirou
    I guess we're out of options. We'll just
    have to go back the way we came
[11:14] Shirou
    and try to find another exit.
[11:24] Shirou
    Huh?
[11:25] Habara
    Hey, what's wrong?
[11:28] Shirou
    There's no one... here.
[11:36] Habara
    What the hell's going on?
[11:42] Habara
    That roar... I'm pretty sure
    I've heard it somewhere before...
[11:44] Guy
    H-Help me...
[11:50] Habara
    Wh-What the hell is all this?!
[11:53] Habara
    What are these things?
[11:55] Habara
    Hey, Shirou!
SIGN    Kirima Nagi
[12:03] Habara
    Is that you, Nagi?
[12:05] Masaki
    As I figured, you tried
    asking my sister for help.
[12:10] Habara
    Masaki?
[12:12] Habara
    Where's Nagi? Is Nagi there?
[12:16] Masaki
    You're acting pretty lame, Kentarou-san.
[12:20] Habara
    Who the hell are you?
[12:22] Masaki
    I'm sure you already know the answer.
[12:25] Masaki
    I can't have you asking for help right now.
[12:30] Masaki
    My experiment isn't over yet.
[12:37] Mob
    There's an earthquake happening
    just around the Moon Temple!
[12:38] Mob
    Hello? Hello?!
[12:40] Mob
    I can't get a signal!
[12:40] Keiji
    An earthquake? But that means it's really...
[12:42] Mob
    Maybe there's some interference...
[12:52] Mob
    We're sinking!
[12:53] Mob
    The ground below us is caving in!
[12:56] Mob
    Over here, too!
[12:59] Keiji
    Is this the trap that Teratsuki
    Kyouichirou left behind?
[13:04] Keiji
    Or... could it be...
[13:08] Mob
    Hey, don't tell me...
[13:09] Mob
    Is the building actually going to collapse?!
[13:12] Keiji
    Is this it?
[13:13] Keiji
    Is this the threat to the world, Boogiepop?
[13:17] Keiji
    Miyashita!

    What's that, Makoto-kun?
(Flashback) [13:28] Makoto
    My dad.
(Flashback) [13:29] Teacher
    Your dad? But that's...
(Flashback) [13:32] Makoto
    This is the dad that appears in my dreams.
(Flashback) [13:37] Teacher
    I-I see... Does he have a name?
(Flashback) [13:41] Makoto

[13:53] Makoto
    Hey, is this gonna
    take much longer, mister?!
[13:56] Makoto
    Where'd you go?!
[14:15] Makoto
    H-Help me... Someone help me!
[14:19] Boogiepop
    Hey, there. Is something the matter?
[14:23] Makoto
    Z-Zooragi is...
[14:25] Boogiepop
    Zooragi? What's that?
[14:28] Makoto
    It's a monster! It's right in front of us!
[14:32] Boogiepop
    I'm afraid I can't see it, sadly.
[14:35] Makoto
    Wh-What are you talking about?! It's gonna
     eat us if we don't get out of here!
[14:42] Boogiepop
    A monster, eh?
[14:44] Boogiepop
    So that must be your King of Distortion.
[14:47] Boogiepop
    And it's quite destructive at that.
[14:52] Boogiepop
    Looks like I'll have my hands full again.
[14:57] Makoto
    Huh?
[14:58] Boogiepop
    Can I ask you something?
[15:00] Boogiepop
    Could it be that this monster was
    the one who squished everyone here?
[15:07] Makoto
    Y-Yeah...
[15:10] Boogiepop
    I see. So that's why everyone
    just keeps asking for help.
[15:16] Boogiepop
    Good grief. This is going
    to be a huge ordeal.
[15:20] Boogiepop
    I can safely say that even I've never
    fought a monster before.
[15:27] Kei
    I'm finally starting to understand.
[15:29] Saotome
    Understand what, Niitoki-san?
[15:32] Kei
    Who you really are, King of Distortion.
[15:35] Saotome
    Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?
[15:38] Kei
    At first, I thought I was dragged
    into this illusion that you created.
[15:43] Kei
    But if that were the case, it'd be
    impossible for Boogiepop to come save me.
[15:49] Kei
    Which means this isn't some kind of
    illusion you created, but it's within me.
[15:54] Saotome
    Within you, eh?
[15:56] Kei
    To be more specific, you're
     my alternate personality.
[16:01] Saotome
    Oh?
[16:02] Kei
    Suema-san told me that humans have
    more sides to them than they know.
[16:09] Kei
    And that's what you are.
[16:11] Kei
    You're usually within me.
    Someone trapped within a box.
[16:16] Kei
    And you're an invader that's
    borrowed their form.
[16:19] Kei
    That's the true identity
    of the King of Distortion.
[16:23] Kei
    The continuous shaking
    that's been going on...
[16:26] Kei
    That's been going on since
    before I returned here.
[16:30] Kei
    Which means you're not creating it.
[16:33] Kei
    It's being created by someone
    else who's been possessed.
[16:36] Kei
    It's the result of their
    latent powers going berserk.
[16:43] Kei
    And now, that's also scaring you.
[16:47] Kei
    Am I wrong?
[16:50] Saotome
    Apparently, that thing's called Zooragi.
[16:53] Saotome
    It's gotten too big and is almost
    completely independent from its creator.
[16:58] Kei
    Zooragi...
[16:59] Saotome
    It's not attacking anything
    really intentionally...
[17:03] Saotome
    But if it got serious, it could
    flatten this building in an instant.
[17:08] Kei
    Then hurry up and stop all of this!
[17:10] Kei
    If you stop, all of this will disappear!
[17:14] Saotome
    But will that make the Saotome Masami-kun
    that's in your heart disappear, President?
[17:21] Kei
    Th-That doesn't matter!
[17:23] Saotome
    It's true I'm within you.
[17:26] Saotome
    That's why I know everything you know.
[17:30] Saotome
    Didn't Suema Kazuko say this, as well?
[17:33] Saotome
    Split personalities are
    a product of one's desires.
[17:37] Saotome
    If I am truly a split personality, then
    you have to find what desire created me.
[17:44] Saotome
    No matter how bitter that may be,
[17:47] Saotome
    and how much you'd like to avoid it.
[17:50] Saotome
    Until that pain turns into your gold.
[18:05] Boogiepop
    I see. It looks like our wavelengths
     are finally matching.
[18:10] Boogiepop
    I'm almost able to see it now.
[18:13] Makoto
    What are you going to do?
[18:14] Boogiepop
    Well, it definitely looks like it wants to play,
[18:17] Boogiepop
    so I'm just going to have to accept.
[18:20] Makoto
    Y-You're going to fight that thing?!
[18:22] Boogiepop
    Well, there isn't any other way.
[18:31] Boogiepop
    Looks like I missed.
    It's much faster than I expected.
[18:35] Makoto
    What did you do?
[18:36] Boogiepop
    I messed up.
[18:47] Boogiepop
    Perhaps I shouldn't have wounded it.
[18:51] Boogiepop
    Then again, it's not like I can
    cut through its giant body.
[18:55] Makoto
    Where are we going, mister?
[18:57] Boogiepop
    The name's Boogiepop.
[18:59] Makoto
    Boogiepop?
[19:02] Boogiepop
    We're going up. There really
    isn't any other way we can go.
[19:06] Makoto
    Up?! But then—
[19:08] Boogiepop
    It might just corner us.
[19:32] Makoto
    Wh-What's that?!
[19:34] Boogiepop
    I think it's finished with
     being troublesome,
[19:36] Boogiepop
    and is now just trying to
    destroy the whole building.
[19:39] Boogiepop
    It's rather intelligent.
[19:41] Makoto
    R-Really?!
[19:57] Boogiepop
    Do you have any experience?
[19:59] Makoto
    Huh?
[20:00] Boogiepop
    Do you have any experience?
[20:02] Makoto
    I-In what?
[20:05] Boogiepop
    Bungee jumping!
[20:32] Makoto
    Y-You actually won...
[20:36] Boogiepop
    There's nothing you can't do in this world
[20:38] Boogiepop
    when you have a bit of
    intelligence and courage.
[20:48] Boogiepop
    You finally believed in me.
[20:50] Boogiepop
    For a moment, I didn't know what I'd do.
[20:54] Boogiepop
    There you have it, Zooragi-kun.
[20:57] Boogiepop
    Looks like your exit has
    been blocked this time.
[21:02] Boogiepop
    Even if you were to crush this thing,
    you wouldn't be able to leave.
[21:19] Boogiepop
    Someday, there'll be someone else
    to acknowledge your existence.
[21:25] Boogiepop
    Until then...
[21:34] Boogiepop
    Good grief.
[21:37] Makoto
    You're so awesome, Boogiepop...
[21:40] Boogiepop
    Why, thank you.
[21:46] Boogiepop
    Is this from when we jumped off?
[21:48] Boogiepop
    I wonder if Takeda-kun will be angry that
    I accidentally wounded this body.
[21:59] Boogiepop
    Apparently a small portion of Zooragi's
    power crossed the boundary.
[22:06] Boogiepop
    This building's not going
    to last much longer.

    I'm Habara Kentarou. This is Tanaka Shirou.
[02:39] Sakiko
    Michimoto Sakiko...
[02:42] Ken
    Did you meet the King of
    Distortion too, Michimoto-san?
[02:45] Sakiko
    The King of Distortion...
[02:48] Sakiko
    Were you the ones who woke me up?
[02:51] Ken
    Hey, what did he seem like?
[02:53] Ken
    Did you happen to see his
    true identity or get any hints?
[02:57] Sakiko
    Why are you asking me that?
[03:00] Ken
    We're gonna defeat him! And to
    do that, we need some clues.
[03:05] Sakiko
    Defeat him?
[03:06] Sakiko
    What did the King of Distortion say to you?
[03:10] Ken
    Probably something similar
    to what he said to you.
[03:20] Sakiko
    And yet...
[03:22] Shirou
    Habara-san, this hatch opens. It's not locked.
[03:26] Ken
    Great.
[03:28] Ken
    Well, you don't have to believe us,
     but just wait here for a bit.
[03:39] Ken
    How's it look inside?
[03:41] Shirou
    It doesn't look like anything
    is here, just like earlier.
[03:45] Ken
    Let's head back.
[03:47] Shirou
    Yes.
[03:50] Sakiko
    I won't let you interfere.
[03:52] Sakiko
    No matter your reason,
[03:54] Sakiko
    I won't let you stop the King of Distortion!
[03:56] Ken
    Hold on!
[03:58] Sakiko
    I'm... I'm going back over there!
[04:05] Ken
    Damn it. It's not opening.
[04:08] Ken
    What the hell is her deal?
[04:28] Guy
    Hey, you.
[04:29] Guy
    You should step back.
    It's dangerous over there.
[04:32] Guy
    Hey, what is that?
[04:43] Keiji
    Wh-What the...
[04:45] Teratsuki
    Ladies and gentlemen... Were you
    able to figure everything out?
[04:49] Teratsuki
    No... If you're hearing this music,
[04:53] Teratsuki
    it means you still haven't reached me yet.
[04:58] Teratsuki
    I don't know how many are currently
    inside the Moon Temple,
[05:04] Teratsuki
    but to those who are outside...
[05:07] Teratsuki
    There is no way inside the Moon Temple.
[05:10] Teratsuki
    Don't try anything futile.
[05:16] Ken
    That's Teratsuki Kyouichirou's voice.
[05:18] Ken
    I knew it. He must be the King of Distortion.
[05:22] Teratsuki
    Next, to those who are inside...
[05:24] Teratsuki
    I imagine that you might be concerned
    about the noise before the music.
[05:30] Teratsuki
    That was the noise of the air
    ducts in this building locking.
[05:35] Teratsuki
    Yes, this means that your oxygen
    supply has been cut off.
[05:41] Teratsuki
    I don't know how much time you have,
[05:44] Teratsuki
    but if you don't do something soon,
    you're going to die of asphyxiation.
[05:48] Ken
    What?!
[05:49] Teratsuki
    Now, then... I wish you all luck.
[05:53] Teratsuki
    Do your best.
[05:55] Ken
    Shit! You can't be serious!
[05:57] Ken
    Is he trying to kill us all?
[06:00] Shirou
    Please calm down, Habara-san.
[06:02] Shirou
    It's not as simple as he made it sound.
[06:05] Ken
    But—
[06:06] Shirou
    Just because he shut off the air ducts
[06:08] Shirou
    doesn't mean he can completely
    shut off the air supply in here.
[06:12] Shirou
    This is just a bluff.
[06:13] Ken
    And what's he doing that for?
[06:17] Shirou
    Think about what someone who panicked
    in this situation would do.
[06:23] Ken
    They'd run.
[06:25] Ken
    But the exits are...
[06:27] Shirou
    Yes, they're blocked off.
[06:30] Ken
    Which means... up above!
[06:33] Shirou
    Yes.
[06:34] Shirou
    Those who want to survive
    will naturally head up.
[06:38] Shirou
    He's probably doing this
    to lead people to him.
[06:43] Ken
    This is seriously like some game.
[06:46] Ken
    I guess the first thing we
    gotta do is get out of here.
[06:50] Shirou
    Yes. Let's go.
[06:54] Ken
    I guess she had pretty good taste, though.
[06:57] Shirou
    What do you mean?
[06:58] Ken
    That girl who was in love with you.
[07:01] Ken
    She had good taste.
[07:05] Shirou
    Oh... You think so?
[07:11] Kei
    What's going on?
[07:13] Kei
    Is your end goal to kill everyone
    in this building? Is that all?
[07:20] Saotome
    Who knows? What do you think?
[07:23] Kei
    I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
[07:26] Saotome
    It's not like you to worry,
[07:30] ---
    Miss President.
[07:34] Saotome
    This is how it should be.
    You were brave back then, too.
[07:39] Saotome
    You were there, Saotome Masami was there...
[07:44] Saotome
    Now, if only Tanaka Shirou were
    here, it'd be just like back then.
[07:50] Kei
    What are you getting at?
[07:52] Saotome
    Kirima Nagi might come save you again.
[07:57] Kei
    I'm not counting on it.
[08:05] Saotome
    Is something the matter, President?
[08:08] Kei
    I get it now, Saotome-kun.
[08:12] Saotome
    What do you mean?
[08:14] Kei
    What I left with you.
[08:18] Kei
    The reason why the King of Distortion
    appeared as Saotome Masami before me.
[08:25] Kei
    I know why now.
[08:33] Keiji
    Miyashita...
[08:37] Touka
    You called?
[08:40] Keiji
    M-Miyashita?
[08:43] Keiji
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:46] Touka
    Senpai, how much time are
    you going to waste out here?
[08:50] Touka
    Aren't you going to go inside?
[08:53] Keiji
    Y-You're... the King of Distortion?
[08:58] Touka
    If you want to go in, follow me.
[09:01] Keiji
    H-Hey!
[09:05] Keiji
    What the hell is going on?
[09:17] Touka
    This is a dream world,
    with just the two of us.
[09:22] Touka
    Everyone else's realities are
    being shifted just a bit.
[09:28] Keiji
    Shifted?
[09:34] Keiji
    Hey, what are you doing?
[09:40] Keiji
    What the hell?
[09:41] Touka
    It's just a staff entrance.
[09:45] Touka
    Say, Senpai.
[09:47] Touka
    Come and get me.
[09:50] Keiji
    W-Wait!
[09:59] Shirou
    Habara-san.
[10:00] Ken
    Here?
[10:01] Shirou
    Yes. The sound is different
    just in this one spot.
[10:05] Ken
    Which must mean there's a hatch
    somewhere used for inspections...
[10:10] Shirou
    Let's hurry.
[10:11] Ken
    Yeah.
[10:21] Sakiko
    I can't go back...
[10:23] Sakiko
    Can't I go back there anymore, Hinako?
[10:31] Sakiko
    Everything should just fall apart.
[10:51] Sakiko
    Boogiepop...
[10:59] Sakiko
    You... saved me?
[11:02] Boogiepop
    I'm not sure.
[11:04] Sakiko
    U-Um... You're, uh...
[11:10] Boogiepop
    Precisely. My name is Boogiepop.
[11:14] Boogiepop
    You seem to already know that.
[11:17] Sakiko
    Are you the real Boogiepop?
[11:19] Boogiepop
    Who knows? Is there anything
    that's really real in this world?
[11:26] Sakiko
    That's not what I'm saying...
[11:29] Sakiko
    What I'm saying is...
    Do you actually... um...
[11:33] Boogiepop
    Do I actually kill people?
[11:35] Boogiepop
    Yes, I do. Isn't that why all
    of you call me a reaper?
[11:44] Sakiko
    Why do you kill people?
[11:46] Boogiepop
    Because that's my job.
[11:49] Boogiepop
    The ones I kill tend to be
    enemies of this world.
[11:54] Sakiko
    How do you choose those people?
[11:57] Boogiepop
    I don't actually get to choose.
[12:01] Boogiepop
    Much of the time,
[12:02] Boogiepop
    the ones who are to be killed
    automatically appear in front of me.
[12:07] Sakiko
    Does that mean they appear in front
    of you, asking you to kill them?
[12:13] Sakiko
    I think I get that.
[12:16] Boogiepop
    I'm not so sure.
[12:18] Boogiepop
    No human actually wants to be killed.
[12:23] Sakiko
    That's not true!
[12:24] Sakiko
    There have to be people who are sick
    of living and truly want to be killed!
[12:30] Boogiepop
    That just means they have a choice.
[12:34] Boogiepop
    If they live any longer, then what
    they've lived for all along will die.
[12:40] Sakiko
    What do you mean?
[12:42] Boogiepop
    In order to have the right
    to ask to be killed,
[12:46] Boogiepop
    you have to actually live first.
[12:52] Boogiepop
    Do you really...
[12:54] Boogiepop
    have that right?
[12:57] Sakiko
    But I'm really awful! I'm a really
    terrible, horrible human being!
[13:03] Boogiepop
    Does being bad make it okay to kill you?
[13:05] Sakiko
    Of course it does!
[13:07] Sakiko
    The world would be a little better
     off with fewer bad people!
[13:11] Boogiepop
    So a world where only good people live?
[13:16] Sakiko
    Yes... Not someone like me...
[13:20] Sakiko
    But where someone like Hina-chan
    is living peacefully...
[13:23] Sakiko
    She was...
[13:26] Sakiko
    She was a much, much better
    person than I was...
[13:29] Sakiko
    And yet, I'm still here...
[13:34] Boogiepop
    Was your King of Distortion nice to you?
[13:39] Sakiko
    Yes... She said I had to change
    all this pain into gold...
[13:47] Boogiepop
    What does that mean?
[13:50] Sakiko
    I-I don't really understand, either...
[13:54] Sakiko
    But I thought I had to do it.
[13:57] Sakiko
    I'd do anything to live
    with Hina-chan there...
[14:04] Boogiepop
    She is a part of you.
[14:10] Boogiepop
    If she was kind, that's
    actually your own kindness.
[14:18] Boogiepop
    Apparently the King of Distortion
    is like me and doesn't have a body.
[14:24] Boogiepop
    The distortion within your heart
    took form and came outside.
[14:30] Boogiepop
    Which means that you've been distorting
    your own kindness this whole time.
[14:39] Boogiepop
    That's in no way an easy thing.
[14:42] Boogiepop
    I'm sure that distortion has been
    causing you pain for a very long time.
[14:48] Boogiepop
    But at the same time,
     the amount of pain you felt
[14:52] Boogiepop
    just shows how kind you actually are.
[15:01] Boogiepop
    She appeared to show you that.
[15:10] Boogiepop
    I believe that you've already achieved it.
[15:17] Boogiepop
    If your feelings aren't already gold,
[15:22] Boogiepop
    then I'm pretty sure nothing
    in this world actually glitters.
[15:30] Boogiepop
    Good grief...
[15:38] Boogiepop
    It appears that this isn't
    going to end easily.
[15:46] Shirou
    Was he controlling the
    Moon Temple from here?
[15:50] Ken
    Nah. If that were the case, there'd be no
    reason to make this huge-ass building.
[15:56] Shirou
    Which means...
[16:24] Ken
    Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can
    undo the locks on this building.
[16:36] Teratsuki
    Hello. Great job making it this far.
[16:40] Teratsuki
    You... Or a few of you... I don't know
    if there's only one of you or many,
[16:46] Teratsuki
    but I wanted to congratulate
    you on making it to this point.
[16:50] Ken
    Teratsuki Kyouichirou...
[16:53] Teratsuki
    As you may have figured out,
    this Moon Temple was built
[16:56] Teratsuki
    simply just to lure you here right now.
[17:04] Teratsuki
    Ah, yes. I should probably
    explain a few things.
[17:08] Teratsuki
    Have you ever thought that there was
    something like a flow to this world?
[17:17] Teratsuki
    Such as fate or a trend.
[17:21] Teratsuki
    Have you ever thought about
    what that might actually be?
[17:25] Teratsuki
    That's a question that humans have
    considered since their creation.
[17:33] Teratsuki
    And that continues, even now.
[17:37] Teratsuki
    Evolution is an idea born from that.
[17:43] Teratsuki
    With evolution, there's somewhat
    of a directionality or a flow.
[17:52] Teratsuki
    So it's only natural to think...
[17:56] Teratsuki
    Is that flow still flowing even now?
[18:01] Teratsuki
    If that's the case, is there any
    way to know what lies ahead,
[18:05] Teratsuki
    or at least know the way to get there?
[18:09] Teratsuki
    But that's God's territory.
[18:13] Teratsuki
    At the same time, there's no point
    in time that some person with power
[18:18] Teratsuki
    didn't try to enter that territory
    in the history of humanity.
[18:21] Teratsuki
    But currently, there are no obvious 
    people with authority or rulers.
[18:24] Ken
    What the hell is he talking about?
[18:29] Teratsuki
    All that exists is a system.
[18:33] Teratsuki
    This system happens to be
    called the Towa Organization,
[18:37] Teratsuki
    and is where I'm employed. They are
    also responsible for my creation.
[18:42] Teratsuki
    Yes, I am a synthetic human
    created by the Towa Organization
[18:47] Teratsuki
    to manipulate the economy however
    the Towa Organization wanted it to move.
[18:52] Teratsuki
    But my role is about to come to an end.
[18:56] Teratsuki
    I became a little too powerful, so
    they will probably dispose of me soon.
[19:04] Teratsuki
    That's why I thought I'd play with
    the Towa Organization a little bit.
[19:09] Teratsuki
    That's why I built this Moon Temple.
[19:14] Teratsuki
    I am sure that after my death, the Moon
    Temple will become some kind of spectacle.
[19:20] Teratsuki
    Perhaps you are one of the
    people who came to see it.
[19:24] Teratsuki
    Or maybe you're one of the event staff.
[19:27] Teratsuki
    Regardless, I'm sure you
    never dreamed that you'd
[19:31] Teratsuki
    get caught up in something like this.
[19:33] Teratsuki
    But you are here, and you
    were meant to come here.
[19:39] Teratsuki
    You were trapped within this building
    and put to sleep with sleeping gas.
[19:45] Teratsuki
    But what's important is
    the fact that you awakened
[19:49] Teratsuki
    and came all the way here.
[19:54] Teratsuki
    There are those in this world who can
    understand things that should not be understood,
[19:58] Teratsuki
    those who go to places they
    should not be able to go.
[20:02] Teratsuki
    Those are the ones the Towa
    Organization is wary of.
[20:08] Teratsuki
    You understand now, don't you?
[20:10] Teratsuki
    You are someone who can become an
    enemy to the Towa Organization.
[20:15] Teratsuki
    That's what I wanted to tell you.
[20:18] Teratsuki
    That's the sole reason that
    I built this Moon Temple,
[20:22] Teratsuki
    using every last bit of Teratsuki
    Kyouichirou's remaining fortune.
[20:27] Teratsuki
    Just to tell you to be careful.
[20:33] Teratsuki
    To undo the current lockdown
    upon the Moon Temple...
[20:41] Teratsuki
    Stairway to Heaven.
[20:45] Teratsuki
    I'll just leave it at that.
[20:47] Teratsuki
    If you type that in, everything will unlock.
[20:52] Teratsuki
    At the same time, all these
    records will be erased.
[20:57] Teratsuki
    Listen carefully. You are a possibility.
[21:01] Teratsuki
    I cannot even begin to fathom
    to what extent that may be,
[21:03] Teratsuki
    and I'm sure you don't
    know yourself at this time.
[21:11] Teratsuki
    So, what's important is what
    you do with that possibility
[21:17] Teratsuki
    and how much you grow.
[21:21] Teratsuki
    I wish you the best.
[21:27] Teratsuki
    Ah, it's you, Eugene.
[21:30] Teratsuki
    I'm sure you'll have no
    problem making me disappear.
[21:39] Ken
    What... the hell is this?
[21:42] Shirou
    I see.
[21:44] Shirou
    That's what's going on.
[21:46] Ken
    Uh, what are you talking about, Shirou?
[21:49] Ken
    This is so messed up.
[21:51] Shirou
    What do you mean?
[21:52] Ken
    What? That didn't explain anything!
[21:56] Ken
    The only things that made sense are that
    we're trapped in here and were put to sleep.
[22:02] Ken
    Why... Why didn't he mention anything
    about the King of Distortion?

[01:35] Shirou
    Are you all right, Habara-san?
[01:38] Ken
    Y-Yeah, I'm fine...
[01:42] Shirou
    Seems like the earthquake's stopped.
[01:44] Ken
    What happened to me?
[01:47] Shirou
    You started shouting out of
    nowhere, and then collapsed.
[01:52] Ken
    I see...
[01:57] Shirou
    Is something wrong?
[01:59] Ken
    No...
[02:01] Shirou
    Well, anyway, Habara-san...
[02:03] Shirou
    I found another entrance.
[02:09] Shirou
    It's right below here.
[02:15] Ken
    Hey, wake up!
[02:18] Shirou
    Isn't she the girl from earlier?
    The one you laughed at.
[02:29] Ken
    Hey, you awake?
[02:31] Sakiko
    Who are you guys?
[02:35] Ken
    I'm Habara Kentarou. This is Tanaka Shirou.
[02:39] Sakiko
    Michimoto Sakiko...
[02:42] Ken
    Did you meet the King of
    Distortion too, Michimoto-san?
[02:45] Sakiko
    The King of Distortion...
[02:48] Sakiko
    Were you the ones who woke me up?
[02:51] Ken
    Hey, what did he seem like?
[02:53] Ken
    Did you happen to see his
    true identity or get any hints?
[02:57] Sakiko
    Why are you asking me that?
[03:00] Ken
    We're gonna defeat him! And to
    do that, we need some clues.
[03:05] Sakiko
    Defeat him?
[03:06] Sakiko
    What did the King of Distortion say to you?
[03:10] Ken
    Probably something similar
    to what he said to you.
[03:20] Sakiko
    And yet...
[03:22] Shirou
    Habara-san, this hatch opens. It's not locked.
[03:26] Ken
    Great.
[03:28] Ken
    Well, you don't have to believe us,
     but just wait here for a bit.
[03:39] Ken
    How's it look inside?
[03:41] Shirou
    It doesn't look like anything
    is here, just like earlier.
[03:45] Ken
    Let's head back.
[03:47] Shirou
    Yes.
[03:50] Sakiko
    I won't let you interfere.
[03:52] Sakiko
    No matter your reason,
[03:54] Sakiko
    I won't let you stop the King of Distortion!
[03:56] Ken
    Hold on!
[03:58] Sakiko
    I'm... I'm going back over there!
[04:05] Ken
    Damn it. It's not opening.
[04:08] Ken
    What the hell is her deal?
[04:28] Guy
    Hey, you.
[04:29] Guy
    You should step back.
    It's dangerous over there.
[04:32] Guy
    Hey, what is that?
[04:43] Keiji
    Wh-What the...
[04:45] Teratsuki
    Ladies and gentlemen... Were you
    able to figure everything out?
[04:49] Teratsuki
    No... If you're hearing this music,
[04:53] Teratsuki
    it means you still haven't reached me yet.
[04:58] Teratsuki
    I don't know how many are currently
    inside the Moon Temple,
[05:04] Teratsuki
    but to those who are outside...
[05:07] Teratsuki
    There is no way inside the Moon Temple.
[05:10] Teratsuki
    Don't try anything futile.
[05:16] Ken
    That's Teratsuki Kyouichirou's voice.
[05:18] Ken
    I knew it. He must be the King of Distortion.
[05:22] Teratsuki
    Next, to those who are inside...
[05:24] Teratsuki
    I imagine that you might be concerned
    about the noise before the music.
[05:30] Teratsuki
    That was the noise of the air
    ducts in this building locking.
[05:35] Teratsuki
    Yes, this means that your oxygen
    supply has been cut off.
[05:41] Teratsuki
    I don't know how much time you have,
[05:44] Teratsuki
    but if you don't do something soon,
    you're going to die of asphyxiation.
[05:48] Ken
    What?!
[05:49] Teratsuki
    Now, then... I wish you all luck.
[05:53] Teratsuki
    Do your best.
[05:55] Ken
    Shit! You can't be serious!
[05:57] Ken
    Is he trying to kill us all?
[06:00] Shirou
    Please calm down, Habara-san.
[06:02] Shirou
    It's not as simple as he made it sound.
[06:05] Ken
    But—
[06:06] Shirou
    Just because he shut off the air ducts
[06:08] Shirou
    doesn't mean he can completely
    shut off the air supply in here.
[06:12] Shirou
    This is just a bluff.
[06:13] Ken
    And what's he doing that for?
[06:17] Shirou
    Think about what someone who panicked
    in this situation would do.
[06:23] Ken
    They'd run.
[06:25] Ken
    But the exits are...
[06:27] Shirou
    Yes, they're blocked off.
[06:30] Ken
    Which means... up above!
[06:33] Shirou
    Yes.
[06:34] Shirou
    Those who want to survive
    will naturally head up.
[06:38] Shirou
    He's probably doing this
    to lead people to him.
[06:43] Ken
    This is seriously like some game.
[06:46] Ken
    I guess the first thing we
    gotta do is get out of here.
[06:50] Shirou
    Yes. Let's go.
[06:54] Ken
    I guess she had pretty good taste, though.
[06:57] Shirou
    What do you mean?
[06:58] Ken
    That girl who was in love with you.
[07:01] Ken
    She had good taste.
[07:05] Shirou
    Oh... You think so?
[07:11] Kei
    What's going on?
[07:13] Kei
    Is your end goal to kill everyone
    in this building? Is that all?
[07:20] Saotome
    Who knows? What do you think?
[07:23] Kei
    I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
[07:26] Saotome
    It's not like you to worry,
[07:30] ---
    Miss President.
[07:34] Saotome
    This is how it should be.
    You were brave back then, too.
[07:39] Saotome
    You were there, Saotome Masami was there...
[07:44] Saotome
    Now, if only Tanaka Shirou were
    here, it'd be just like back then.
[07:50] Kei
    What are you getting at?
[07:52] Saotome
    Kirima Nagi might come save you again.
[07:57] Kei
    I'm not counting on it.
[08:05] Saotome
    Is something the matter, President?
[08:08] Kei
    I get it now, Saotome-kun.
[08:12] Saotome
    What do you mean?
[08:14] Kei
    What I left with you.
[08:18] Kei
    The reason why the King of Distortion
    appeared as Saotome Masami before me.
[08:25] Kei
    I know why now.
[08:33] Keiji
    Miyashita...
[08:37] Touka
    You called?
[08:40] Keiji
    M-Miyashita?
[08:43] Keiji
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:46] Touka
    Senpai, how much time are
    you going to waste out here?
[08:50] Touka
    Aren't you going to go inside?
[08:53] Keiji
    Y-You're... the King of Distortion?
[08:58] Touka
    If you want to go in, follow me.
[09:01] Keiji
    H-Hey!
[09:05] Keiji
    What the hell is going on?
[09:17] Touka
    This is a dream world,
    with just the two of us.
[09:22] Touka
    Everyone else's realities are
    being shifted just a bit.
[09:28] Keiji
    Shifted?
[09:34] Keiji
    Hey, what are you doing?
[09:40] Keiji
    What the hell?
[09:41] Touka
    It's just a staff entrance.
[09:45] Touka
    Say, Senpai.
[09:47] Touka
    Come and get me.
[09:50] Keiji
    W-Wait!
[09:59] Shirou
    Habara-san.
[10:00] Ken
    Here?
[10:01] Shirou
    Yes. The sound is different
    just in this one spot.
[10:05] Ken
    Which must mean there's a hatch
    somewhere used for inspections...
[10:10] Shirou
    Let's hurry.
[10:11] Ken
    Yeah.
[10:21] Sakiko
    I can't go back...
[10:23] Sakiko
    Can't I go back there anymore, Hinako?
[10:31] Sakiko
    Everything should just fall apart.
[10:51] Sakiko
    Boogiepop...
[10:59] Sakiko
    You... saved me?
[11:02] Boogiepop
    I'm not sure.
[11:04] Sakiko
    U-Um... You're, uh...
[11:10] Boogiepop
    Precisely. My name is Boogiepop.
[11:14] Boogiepop
    You seem to already know that.
[11:17] Sakiko
    Are you the real Boogiepop?
[11:19] Boogiepop
    Who knows? Is there anything
    that's really real in this world?
[11:26] Sakiko
    That's not what I'm saying...
[11:29] Sakiko
    What I'm saying is...
    Do you actually... um...
[11:33] Boogiepop
    Do I actually kill people?
[11:35] Boogiepop
    Yes, I do. Isn't that why all
    of you call me a reaper?
[11:44] Sakiko
    Why do you kill people?
[11:46] Boogiepop
    Because that's my job.
[11:49] Boogiepop
    The ones I kill tend to be
    enemies of this world.
[11:54] Sakiko
    How do you choose those people?
[11:57] Boogiepop
    I don't actually get to choose.
[12:01] Boogiepop
    Much of the time,
[12:02] Boogiepop
    the ones who are to be killed
    automatically appear in front of me.
[12:07] Sakiko
    Does that mean they appear in front
    of you, asking you to kill them?
[12:13] Sakiko
    I think I get that.
[12:16] Boogiepop
    I'm not so sure.
[12:18] Boogiepop
    No human actually wants to be killed.
[12:23] Sakiko
    That's not true!
[12:24] Sakiko
    There have to be people who are sick
    of living and truly want to be killed!
[12:30] Boogiepop
    That just means they have a choice.
[12:34] Boogiepop
    If they live any longer, then what
    they've lived for all along will die.
[12:40] Sakiko
    What do you mean?
[12:42] Boogiepop
    In order to have the right
    to ask to be killed,
[12:46] Boogiepop
    you have to actually live first.
[12:52] Boogiepop
    Do you really...
[12:54] Boogiepop
    have that right?
[12:57] Sakiko
    But I'm really awful! I'm a really
    terrible, horrible human being!
[13:03] Boogiepop
    Does being bad make it okay to kill you?
[13:05] Sakiko
    Of course it does!
[13:07] Sakiko
    The world would be a little better
     off with fewer bad people!
[13:11] Boogiepop
    So a world where only good people live?
[13:16] Sakiko
    Yes... Not someone like me...
[13:20] Sakiko
    But where someone like Hina-chan
    is living peacefully...
[13:23] Sakiko
    She was...
[13:26] Sakiko
    She was a much, much better
    person than I was...
[13:29] Sakiko
    And yet, I'm still here...
[13:34] Boogiepop
    Was your King of Distortion nice to you?
[13:39] Sakiko
    Yes... She said I had to change
    all this pain into gold...
[13:47] Boogiepop
    What does that mean?
[13:50] Sakiko
    I-I don't really understand, either...
[13:54] Sakiko
    But I thought I had to do it.
[13:57] Sakiko
    I'd do anything to live
    with Hina-chan there...
[14:04] Boogiepop
    She is a part of you.
[14:10] Boogiepop
    If she was kind, that's
    actually your own kindness.
[14:18] Boogiepop
    Apparently the King of Distortion
    is like me and doesn't have a body.
[14:24] Boogiepop
    The distortion within your heart
    took form and came outside.
[14:30] Boogiepop
    Which means that you've been distorting
    your own kindness this whole time.
[14:39] Boogiepop
    That's in no way an easy thing.
[14:42] Boogiepop
    I'm sure that distortion has been
    causing you pain for a very long time.
[14:48] Boogiepop
    But at the same time,
     the amount of pain you felt
[14:52] Boogiepop
    just shows how kind you actually are.
[15:01] Boogiepop
    She appeared to show you that.
[15:10] Boogiepop
    I believe that you've already achieved it.
[15:17] Boogiepop
    If your feelings aren't already gold,
[15:22] Boogiepop
    then I'm pretty sure nothing
    in this world actually glitters.
[15:30] Boogiepop
    Good grief...
[15:38] Boogiepop
    It appears that this isn't
    going to end easily.
[15:46] Shirou
    Was he controlling the
    Moon Temple from here?
[15:50] Ken
    Nah. If that were the case, there'd be no
    reason to make this huge-ass building.
[15:56] Shirou
    Which means...
[16:24] Ken
    Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can
    undo the locks on this building.
[16:36] Teratsuki
    Hello. Great job making it this far.
[16:40] Teratsuki
    You... Or a few of you... I don't know
    if there's only one of you or many,
[16:46] Teratsuki
    but I wanted to congratulate
    you on making it to this point.
[16:50] Ken
    Teratsuki Kyouichirou...
[16:53] Teratsuki
    As you may have figured out,
    this Moon Temple was built
[16:56] Teratsuki
    simply just to lure you here right now.
[17:04] Teratsuki
    Ah, yes. I should probably
    explain a few things.
[17:08] Teratsuki
    Have you ever thought that there was
    something like a flow to this world?
[17:17] Teratsuki
    Such as fate or a trend.
[17:21] Teratsuki
    Have you ever thought about
    what that might actually be?
[17:25] Teratsuki
    That's a question that humans have
    considered since their creation.
[17:33] Teratsuki
    And that continues, even now.
[17:37] Teratsuki
    Evolution is an idea born from that.
[17:43] Teratsuki
    With evolution, there's somewhat
    of a directionality or a flow.
[17:52] Teratsuki
    So it's only natural to think...
[17:56] Teratsuki
    Is that flow still flowing even now?
[18:01] Teratsuki
    If that's the case, is there any
    way to know what lies ahead,
[18:05] Teratsuki
    or at least know the way to get there?
[18:09] Teratsuki
    But that's God's territory.
[18:13] Teratsuki
    At the same time, there's no point
    in time that some person with power
[18:18] Teratsuki
    didn't try to enter that territory
    in the history of humanity.
[18:21] Teratsuki
    But currently, there are no obvious 
    people with authority or rulers.
[18:24] Ken
    What the hell is he talking about?
[18:29] Teratsuki
    All that exists is a system.
[18:33] Teratsuki
    This system happens to be
    called the Towa Organization,
[18:37] Teratsuki
    and is where I'm employed. They are
    also responsible for my creation.
[18:42] Teratsuki
    Yes, I am a synthetic human
    created by the Towa Organization
[18:47] Teratsuki
    to manipulate the economy however
    the Towa Organization wanted it to move.
[18:52] Teratsuki
    But my role is about to come to an end.
[18:56] Teratsuki
    I became a little too powerful, so
    they will probably dispose of me soon.
[19:04] Teratsuki
    That's why I thought I'd play with
    the Towa Organization a little bit.
[19:09] Teratsuki
    That's why I built this Moon Temple.
[19:14] Teratsuki
    I am sure that after my death, the Moon
    Temple will become some kind of spectacle.
[19:20] Teratsuki
    Perhaps you are one of the
    people who came to see it.
[19:24] Teratsuki
    Or maybe you're one of the event staff.
[19:27] Teratsuki
    Regardless, I'm sure you
    never dreamed that you'd
[19:31] Teratsuki
    get caught up in something like this.
[19:33] Teratsuki
    But you are here, and you
    were meant to come here.
[19:39] Teratsuki
    You were trapped within this building
    and put to sleep with sleeping gas.
[19:45] Teratsuki
    But what's important is
    the fact that you awakened
[19:49] Teratsuki
    and came all the way here.
[19:54] Teratsuki
    There are those in this world who can
    understand things that should not be understood,
[19:58] Teratsuki
    those who go to places they
    should not be able to go.
[20:02] Teratsuki
    Those are the ones the Towa
    Organization is wary of.
[20:08] Teratsuki
    You understand now, don't you?
[20:10] Teratsuki
    You are someone who can become an
    enemy to the Towa Organization.
[20:15] Teratsuki
    That's what I wanted to tell you.
[20:18] Teratsuki
    That's the sole reason that
    I built this Moon Temple,
[20:22] Teratsuki
    using every last bit of Teratsuki
    Kyouichirou's remaining fortune.
[20:27] Teratsuki
    Just to tell you to be careful.
[20:33] Teratsuki
    To undo the current lockdown
    upon the Moon Temple...
[20:41] Teratsuki
    Stairway to Heaven.
[20:45] Teratsuki
    I'll just leave it at that.
[20:47] Teratsuki
    If you type that in, everything will unlock.
[20:52] Teratsuki
    At the same time, all these
    records will be erased.
[20:57] Teratsuki
    Listen carefully. You are a possibility.
[21:01] Teratsuki
    I cannot even begin to fathom
    to what extent that may be,
[21:03] Teratsuki
    and I'm sure you don't
    know yourself at this time.
[21:11] Teratsuki
    So, what's important is what
    you do with that possibility
[21:17] Teratsuki
    and how much you grow.
[21:21] Teratsuki
    I wish you the best.
[21:27] Teratsuki
    Ah, it's you, Eugene.
[21:30] Teratsuki
    I'm sure you'll have no
    problem making me disappear.
[21:39] Ken
    What... the hell is this?
[21:42] Shirou
    I see.
[21:44] Shirou
    That's what's going on.
[21:46] Ken
    Uh, what are you talking about, Shirou?
[21:49] Ken
    This is so messed up.
[21:51] Shirou
    What do you mean?
[21:52] Ken
    What? That didn't explain anything!
[21:56] Ken
    The only things that made sense are that
    we're trapped in here and were put to sleep.
[22:02] Ken
    Why... Why didn't he mention anything
    about the King of Distortion?
