(Flashback) [00:09] Suiko
    It's a shame, to be honest.
(Flashback) [00:12] Suiko
    In the end, you're also stuck in the present.
(Flashback) [00:17] Suiko
    It's truly a shame.
(Flashback) [00:20] Suiko
    But no matter how long you wait,
    I'm pretty sure nothing will begin.
(Flashback) [00:28] Suiko
    Don't you think so?
(Flashback) [00:31] Boogiepop
    Say whatever you'd like.
(Flashback) [00:34] Boogiepop
    It appears that, unlike
    myself, you haven't split.
(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."
(Flashback) [01:07] Suiko
    "Love is like snow that falls in April.
(Flashback) [01:10] Suiko
    Unexpected, yet not unforeseen," was it?
(Flashback) [01:18] Suiko
    The end of the beginning is also
    the beginning of the end, Boogiepop.
(Flashback) [01:24] Suiko
    You may have stopped me here...
(Flashback) [01:27] Suiko
    But that is just the beginning
    of the next ending.
(Flashback) [01:40] Suiko
    There's still plenty of time before
    I actually hit the ground.
(Flashback) [01:45] Suiko
    Will you be able to find me before then?

[03:25] Sawako
    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.
[05:04] Jin
    I know you're trying your best.
[05:06] Jin
    You just need to learn to relax
    and keep moving forward.
[05:09] Sawako
    Right. I feel a lot better.
SIGN    Guidance Counselor's Office
[05:11] Sawako
    I think you'd make a great therapist
    or something like that, Sensei.
[05:16] Jin
    What?
[05:17] Sawako
    Oh, sorry. That was probably rude...
[05:21] Jin
    I'll think about it. I mean, they call
    us starving artists for a reason.
[05:24] Sawako
    Oh, yeah... Sensei, what does the phrase
    "Sometimes it snows in April" mean?
[05:30] Jin
    Huh? What was that?
[05:33] Sawako
    Well, that's the one thing
    I remember from that dream.
[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."
[08:06] Jin
    W-Wait!
[08:14] Kotoe
    Welcome back!
[08:16] Kotoe
    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?

[11:52] Girl
    Are you listening?
[11:54] Girl
    Sensei?
[11:56] Jin
    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!
[18:15] Boy A
    Who the hell do you think you are?
[18:17] Boy B
    Get the hell outta here!
[18:19] Boy C
    We're here to have some fun with her.
[18:22] Masaki
    S-Stop!
[18:24] Jin
    Hey, you there.
[18:27] Masaki
    Just to make sure I have the right idea...
[18:31] Boy C
    Wh-Who the hell are you?
[18:33] Jin
    Do you want to save that girl?
[18:36] Masaki
    Y-Yes.
[18:37] Jin
    I see. In that case, leave this to me, and run.
[18:42] Masaki
    Yes, sir. Thank you very much!
[18:45] Boy C
    H-Hey, wait!
[18:47] Jin
    You're the ones who're going to wait.
[18:49] Boy B
    What?
[18:50] Boy C
    The hell's your problem, man?
[18:52] Jin
    Well... It's not that I have
    anything against you boys...
[18:56] Jin
    But I will
[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.

    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

[21:38] Mariko
    I mean...
[21:45] Boogiepop
    Sorry, but I have no
    intention of killing you.
[21:49] Boogiepop

[21:58] Boogiepop
    I guess you're not here anymore...
[22:02] Boogiepop
    But are you still going
    to continue, Imaginator?
