SIGN    It has begun
[00:01] Actress A
    It has begun.
[00:05] Actress A
    We angels—
[00:08] Actress A
    we wingless, fallen angels—
     are about to be killed off, one by one,
[00:17] Actress A
    by the true angels in heaven.
[00:22] Actress B
    How foolish.
[00:23] Actress B
    If the executor were an angel,
    they would have no trouble killing us.
[00:28] Actress B
    They'd need only play their trumpets.
[00:30] Actress B
    They would have no reason
     to resort to physical means.
[00:33] Actress B
    This is a serial murder meant
    to look like an angel's bidding,
[00:37] Actress B
    carried out by someone here.
[00:40] (Flashback) Manager
    "The angels shall bring true
    death upon the performers. V."
[00:45] Fukuzawa
    V?
[00:47] Actor A
    Is that not foolish in itself?
[00:50] Actor A
    We have no reason to kill one another.
[00:53] Actor A
    What good would it do us to kill our own kind?
[00:58] Actress B
    What do you think, Leader?
[01:00] Actress C
    Leader!
[01:01] Actor A
    Leader!
[01:03] All
    Leader!
[01:08] Murakami
    Is this the punishment given to us
    fallen angels for adoring humanity?
[01:15] Murakami
    Angels have been sent from
    the heavens to purge us.
[01:20] Murakami
    They are called "Gifted."
[01:25] All
    "Gifted"?
[01:27] Actress B
    "Gifted"?
[01:28] Rampo
    Hey. What's a Gifted?
[01:28] Murakami
    We are humans. We are of the earth,
[01:30] Fukuzawa
    Just watch, and it'll make sense.
[01:33] Murakami
    having rejected being angels
    and choosing to become human.
[01:36] Fukuzawa
    Who is he?
[01:37] Murakami
    We dream, we love, and seek fulfillment
    possible only because we are finite.
[01:39] Rampo
    Hey, can I ask something?
[01:40] Rampo
    The people here are paying
    to watch this, right?
[01:43] Actress B
    And we do not regret that decision.
[01:45] Rampo
    Why doesn't anyone get upset at
     being forced to sit through a show
[01:46] Actress A
    To choose one's own way of being
     is the truest form of the soul.
[01:48] Rampo
    with such an obvious ending?
[01:49] Fukuzawa
    Hey.
[01:51] Rampo
    He's the murderer, isn't he?
[01:51] Murakami
    Indeed.
[01:52] Murakami
    And angels and humans are of
    entirely different dimensions.
[01:53] Rampo
    You can tell in the first five minutes.
[01:54] Murakami
    Angels cannot have the fulfillment
    which is the realm of humanity,
[01:56] Fukuzawa
    Knock it off!
[01:57] Murakami
    and humans are incapable of
    the supremacy of angels.
[01:59] Rampo
    Why?
[02:00] Murakami
    Those who control humans from the
    outside and those who enjoy fulfillment
[02:00] Rampo
    Why is everyone watching this
    play without complaining?
[02:04] Murakami
    on the inside are like an author and their
     characters: never shall they intertwine.
[02:04] Rampo
    It really upsets me.
[02:07] Rampo
    I don't get it.
[02:07] Murakami
    And yet...
[02:08] Actress A
    And yet?
[02:09] Actress B
    And yet?
[02:10] Murakami
    There are those who, despite being human, have
    some fragment of angels' forbidden supremacy.
[02:10] Rampo
    There's something everyone
    else gets that I don't.
[02:14] Murakami
    That is, oh, that is truly the cursed
    soul that we call Gifted.
[02:15] Rampo
    I don't get it.
[02:17] Murakami
    None of us can possibly be
    as sinful as the Gifted.
[02:17] Rampo
    I'm scared.
[02:18] Rampo
    It's like the world is filled with monsters,
[02:19] Murakami
    The accursed Gifted snuff us out
    one by one like prey for the hunt.
[02:22] Rampo
    monsters that only I don't understand.
[02:22] Murakami
    We must find these Gifted.
[02:24] Murakami
    No, perhaps we must first hire a detective?
[02:26] Rampo
    I'm all alone,
[02:28] Rampo
    living in a world of monsters.
[02:33] Announcement
    There will now be a fifteen
    minute intermission.
[02:36] Announcement
    The second act will resume at 6:20.
[02:42] Fukuzawa
    Come.
[02:45] Fukuzawa
    I'll give you the answer you're looking for.
[02:50] Fukuzawa
    Have your parents said
    anything about your talents?
[02:55] Rampo
    Talents?
[02:56] Rampo
    I wish I had talent.
[02:58] Rampo
    It wouldn't be so hard to find work.
[03:00] Fukuzawa
    No.
[03:01] Fukuzawa
    You have a special talent.
[03:05] Fukuzawa
    You were right.
[03:07] Fukuzawa
    I used to carry a sword on my waist.
[03:10] Fukuzawa
    I was known as the Master of Swords,
    even within the government's ranks.
[03:17] Fukuzawa
    My sword would bring peace to the nation.
[03:20] Fukuzawa
    ...or so I sincerely believed.
[03:22] Fukuzawa
    That's why I killed.
[03:24] Fukuzawa
    Assassination was far too easy.
[03:27] Fukuzawa
    I only became fearful when I noticed
[03:30] Fukuzawa
    that I was waiting eagerly
    for the next assassination.
[03:33] Fukuzawa
    I could no longer tell whether I was murdering
    for my country or for the moment of the kill.
[03:41] Fukuzawa
    That's when I decided
     I'd never wield a sword again.
[03:46] Fukuzawa
    No one else has ever learned
    of my past occupation.
[03:51] Fukuzawa
    You guessed the murderer
    in the play earlier.
[03:56] Fukuzawa
    I suspect you are the only one who
    could have gleaned the answer so quickly.
[04:00] Fukuzawa
    I wouldn't have known if I hadn't
    read the script, either.
[04:04] Fukuzawa
    Have you ever thought that the
    people around you are all fools?
[04:08] Fukuzawa
    That they're all clueless idiots?
[04:15] Rampo
    Yes.
[04:17] Fukuzawa
    Listen, and remember this.
[04:19] Fukuzawa
    You are special.
[04:21] Fukuzawa
    Other people are all fools.
[04:23] Fukuzawa
    Including me.
[04:26] Fukuzawa
    The reason you're alone is because
    you have a special talent.
[04:30] Rampo
    Special?
[04:32] Fukuzawa
    But abilities need to be controlled.
[04:36] Fukuzawa
    For you to pretend not
    to notice your own talent
[04:39] Fukuzawa
    is the same as my past self,
    swinging a sword in pursuit of blood.
[04:45] Rampo
    I'm the only one who's special?
[04:47] Rampo
    How could that even happen?
[04:49] Rampo
    Look at all the people in this city.
[04:55] Fukuzawa
    Well...
[04:56] Rampo
    Well?
[04:57] Fukuzawa
    Because you're Gifted.
[05:03] Fukuzawa
    You're special because you're Gifted.
[05:07] Rampo
    Gifted?
[05:08] Fukuzawa
    Your ability is one that allows you to
    determine the truth at a single glance.
[05:14] Fukuzawa
    There are numerous people
    with special gifts in this world.
[05:20] Fukuzawa
    It's because of your special ability that
    the people around you look like monsters.
[05:26] Fukuzawa
    You must control your ability.
[05:30] Fukuzawa
    I'll teach you how.
[05:32] Fukuzawa
    With the help of a certain individual,
[05:35] Fukuzawa
    you'll become able to produce
    your special ability on command.
[05:38] Rampo
    A certain individual?
[05:41] Fukuzawa
    Here.
[05:43] Rampo
    Glasses?
[05:44] Fukuzawa
    These were handed down
     by a noble man from Kyoto.
[05:51] Fukuzawa
    When you wear them,
    your ability will be activated,
[05:54] Fukuzawa
    and the truth will come to you instantly.
[05:58] Fukuzawa
    And, when you aren't wearing them,
[05:59] Fukuzawa
    you will no longer be bothered
    by the foolishness of others.
[06:03] Fukuzawa
    I'll give them to you.
[06:07] Rampo
    These just look like a really
    cheap pair of glasses.
[06:10] Fukuzawa
    Correct.
[06:12] Fukuzawa
    They're a leftover I was forced
    to buy at a trinket shop.
[06:16] Fukuzawa
    But...
[06:17] Rampo
    I don't see a difference.
[06:23] Fukuzawa
    Now, use those glasses to
    control your special ability.
[06:29] Rampo
    Control my special ability?
[06:31] Fukuzawa
    That's right.
[06:32] Fukuzawa
    Cut open the truth with your special ability
[06:35] Fukuzawa
    and banish evil from the darkness
     in which it lurks, Gifted detective!
[06:40] Fukuzawa
    From today on, you are the
    world's best detective.
[06:43] Rampo
    Best detective?
[06:44] Fukuzawa
    Isn't everything clear to you now?
[06:48] Fukuzawa
    The world isn't terrifying at all.
[06:51] Fukuzawa
    No one is a monster.
[06:53] Fukuzawa
    They're simply far more
    foolish than you are.
[06:57] Rampo
    Really?
[06:58] Fukuzawa
    No one bears any ill will towards you.
[07:01] Fukuzawa
    They're stupid idiots.
[07:03] Fukuzawa
    Mere children who don't
    know how to see the world.
[07:06] Rampo
    Children?
[07:07] Rampo
    Everyone's just a stupid idiot?
[07:09] Fukuzawa
    Yes.
[07:11] Rampo
    They actually don't know anything?
[07:14] Fukuzawa
    That's right.
[07:16] Rampo
    But...
[07:17] Fukuzawa
    Edogawa Rampo!
[07:20] Fukuzawa
    The glasses have already accepted you.
[07:22] Fukuzawa
    All that's left is for
    you to open your mind.
[07:25] Rampo
    Open my mind?
[07:29] Rampo
    This creepy world...
[07:32] Rampo
    That time, that time, that time,
    and that time...
[07:37] Rampo
    All that suffering wasn't because
    there's something wrong with me,
[07:42] Rampo
    but because there's something
    wrong with the people around me?
[07:48] Rampo
    Is that what it means?
[07:51] Fukuzawa
    They are all clueless children.
[07:54] Fukuzawa
    Would a baby who can't even hold
    its head up ever despise another?
[07:59] Rampo
    He's right...
[08:07] Rampo
    No one ever despised me.
[08:22] Rampo
    I see!
[08:24] Rampo
    You're all babies!
[08:25] Rampo
    The world isn't creepy at all!
[08:28] Rampo
    You're just all stupid little idiots!
[08:31] Rampo
    I have to protect all these silly children!
[08:35] Fukuzawa
    Come on, Rampo...
[08:36] Rampo
    There's something I have to do.
[08:38] Rampo
    You head back to your seat, mister.
[08:41] Rampo
    We still might be able to stop the murder.
[08:43] Fukuzawa
    What?
[08:45] Rampo
    The murderer will follow through with
    their threat and commit the attack.
[08:49] Rampo
    We just have to take advantage of that fact.
[08:52] Fukuzawa
    What are you talking about?
[08:53] Rampo
    I already see everything.
[08:56] Rampo
    The enemy's goals,
     their plans, everything.
[08:59] Rampo
    So I want you to keep
    an eye on the audience.
[09:05] Fukuzawa
    All right.
[09:07] Fukuzawa
    But be careful.
[09:09] Rampo
    Don't worry!
[09:10] Rampo
    After all, I'm the world's best detective,
    on a mission to protect the world's fools!

[10:51] Murakami
    Forgive us, haloed angel of war,
[10:54] Murakami
    or show yourself in the human realm!
[10:58] Murakami
    I do not fear death!
[11:00] Murakami
    If you must cast judgment,
    first pierce my chest.
[11:05] Murakami
    I know what you want.
[11:07] Murakami
    You want me to watch as my
    friends spite one another
[11:10] Murakami
    with the foulness common
    to humanity, don't you?
[11:12] Murakami
    I shall expose you!
[11:14] Murakami
    And your sin!
[11:29] Audience Woman A
    Wow.
[11:31] Fukuzawa
    This doesn't happen in the script.
[11:34] ---
    
[11:36] ---
    Why's he...?
[11:39] Fukuzawa
    Real blood.
[11:41] Fukuzawa
    Call an ambulance!
[11:42] Fukuzawa
    Inform the police at the
    door and close the theater.
[11:45] ---
    
[11:45] ---
    
[11:46] Fukuzawa
    Is he dead?
[11:47] ---
    
[11:48] ---
    
[11:48] Fukuzawa
    But where's the weapon?
[11:51] Fukuzawa
    No weapon...
[11:53] Fukuzawa
    No...
[11:54] Fukuzawa
    A murder by an angel?
[11:57] Fukuzawa
    Impossible!
[11:59] Woman B
    No!
[12:02] Woman B
    Takio!
[12:04] Man D
    He's actually dead!
[12:05] ---
    
[12:05] Man E
    It's a murder!
[12:08] Fukuzawa
    Stay in your seats!
[12:10] Fukuzawa
    If you flee, you could become
    a suspect in the murder.
[12:10] ---
    Takio! Takio!
[12:18] (Flashback) Rampo
    So I want you to keep
    an eye on the audience.
[12:22] Fukuzawa
    So the one who flees is the culprit.
[12:33] Fukuzawa
    Where has Rampo gone?
[12:36] Mitamura
    Captain, a member of the
    audience has disappeared.
[12:39] Fukuzawa
    What?
[12:40] Fukuzawa
    Pardon me.
[12:43] Mitamura
    Why, hello, sir.
[12:46] Mitamura
    Thank you for your work.
[12:47] Fukuzawa
    I overheard that someone
    fled from the audience.
[12:49] Mitamura
    Yes.
[12:50] Mitamura
    I'm sure we handled the lockdown
    of the theater competently,
[12:54] Mitamura
    but someone has vanished.
[12:55] Fukuzawa
    What does this person look like
    and which seat were they in?
[12:58] Mitamura
    He was in the front row.
[13:00] Mitamura
    Light-brown suit and a round hat.
[13:02] Mitamura
    A dignified-looking, middle-aged man,
    holding a wooden cane.
[13:08] Fukuzawa
    It's that man.
[13:10] Fukuzawa
    When did that man leave his seat?
[13:12] Mitamura
    We have confirmation that he was there
    when the performance began, but...
[13:17] Fukuzawa
    I'm going to search the building.
[13:20] Mitamura
    Wait, sir!
[13:22] Fukuzawa
    This is my fault.
[13:23] Fukuzawa
    I instigated this.
[13:25] Fukuzawa
    Rampo's just a boy. He doesn't
    know how to protect himself.
[13:30] Fukuzawa
    He may be a brilliant detective,
[13:33] Fukuzawa
    but if the murderer attacks him
    in a frenzy, he doesn't stand a chance.
[13:39] Fukuzawa
    He can't activate his ability on his own.
[13:42] Fukuzawa
    I need to become his
    shield and fend off evil,
[13:45] Fukuzawa
    so he's safe to engage in his reasoning.
SIGN    A
    detective
     must
     be
     armed
[13:52] Fukuzawa
    A detective must be armed.
[13:58] Manager
    Fukuzawa-san.
[14:03] Fukuzawa
    Sorry, but please make it quick.
[14:05] Manager
    I have a message from Rampo-kun.
[14:08] Fukuzawa
    Yes?
[14:09] Manager
    Rampo-kun said there were two murderers.
[14:14] (Flashback) Rampo
    This crime is comprised of
    two different kinds of acts.
[14:17] (Flashback) Rampo
    You could think of it like
    a shrimp and a sea bream.
[14:20] (Flashback) Rampo
    You could be satisfied with the shrimp,
     which is easy to catch.
[14:24] (Flashback) Rampo
    Shrimp's pretty tasty.
[14:26] (Flashback) Rampo
    But if you want to catch the sea bream,
[14:28] (Flashback) Rampo
    well, you're going to
    have to use the shrimp.
[14:33] Fukuzawa
    That's so convoluted.
[14:35] Fukuzawa
    Where is Rampo?
[14:37] Manager
    Dunno.
[14:38] Manager
    He could be anywhere.
[14:42] Fukuzawa
    Murakami was the one who was
    murdered, so why talk to me?
[14:45] Manager
    Because Rampo-kun told me the
     truth about part of the case.
[14:50] Manager
    Fukuzawa-san, who is that kid?
[14:54] Manager
    I have no doubt that he's
    an excellent detective,
[14:57] Manager
    but is he really Gifted,
    the way he says he is?
[15:03] Fukuzawa
    What happened?
[15:05] Manager
    He's the only one who
    sees the whole picture.
[15:08] Manager
    "I'm going to solve the whole thing,
    so get your butt to the seats," he said.
[15:23] Rampo
    I am the deus ex machina, here to solve
     the case at the very end of this play!
[15:29] Rampo
    Basically, I'm Gifted
    and a brilliant detective.
[15:34] Rampo
    Anyway, let's get to the chapter
    where it's all solved.
[15:37] Rampo
    I was listening to the murmuring earlier.
[15:41] Rampo
    It seems like a lot of you
    think the angel killed him.
[15:47] Rampo
    Just so you know, angels...
[15:51] Rampo
    do exist.
[15:53] Rampo
    You, the audience, are the angels.
[15:56] Rampo
    This murder and this play
    are deeply connected.
[16:01] Rampo
    This play is about a turning of tides.
[16:03] Rampo
    The tables turn between
    the angels and humans,
[16:05] Rampo
    and the executors become the executed.
[16:08] Rampo
    There's an empty seat there.
[16:12] Rampo
    The municipal police think the gentleman who
    vanished from that seat is the culprit.
[16:16] Rampo
    But this is a story about a reversal.
[16:19] Rampo
    The power dynamic shifts,
[16:21] Rampo
    and the victim and attacker swap seats.
[16:24] Rampo
    In other words, he isn't the attacker.
[16:28] Rampo
    He's the victim.
[16:30] Rampo
    And the victim was here all along.
[16:38] Rampo
    This is the turning of the tide.
[16:47] Rampo
    And thus the attacker has become the victim.
[16:50] Rampo
    Now, policemen, it's your turn.
[16:54] Rampo
    He's just unconscious.
[16:55] Rampo
    You don't have to be in such a hurry.
[16:58] Rampo
    Now, here's the elephant in the room.
[17:03] Rampo
    Who is that man and why did
    he have to be abducted?
[17:08] Rampo
    You could obviously ask the attacker.
[17:12] Rampo
    There was never a murder to begin with.
[17:17] Rampo
    Now, show yourself, fallen one!
[17:27] Fukuzawa
    What?!
[17:31] Murakami
    When did you realize?
[17:32] Rampo
    From the beginning.
[17:34] Rampo
    When I first met you in the green room,
[17:36] Rampo
    you looked pale and you were
    chugging a ton of water.
[17:40] Rampo
    That was because you'd just drawn blood.
[17:43] Rampo
    In order to throw off the security police,
    the municipal police, and the forensic experts,
[17:47] Rampo
    you had to use your own fresh blood.
[17:50] Rampo
    To fake your own pulse, you used the
    silicon rubber stuff you use in plays.
[17:56] Rampo
    You needed the stagewright's
    cooperation to pull off this play.
[18:01] Rampo
    He's an accomplice, isn't he?
[18:03] Murakami
    That's right.
[18:04] Murakami
    The stagewright and I planned it together.
[18:07] Murakami
    To think that an impossible Gifted
    would show up as a detective...
[18:12] Rampo
    Not just any detective. The best detective.
[18:15] Murakami
    I am...
[18:17] Murakami
    I'm an actor.
[18:20] Murakami
    I become something I'm not and
     build a life that doesn't exist,
[18:25] Murakami
    all to carry out my job of
    exposing what humanity truly is.
[18:29] Murakami
    There's something unavoidable when
    you're trying to dramatize a way of life.
[18:33] Murakami
    That is death.
[18:35] Murakami
    My ultimate task was to play a real death.
[18:40] Murakami
    To me, that is what it means to
    reach the pinnacle of acting.
[18:44] Murakami
    I am the first ever actor to play death.
[18:47] Murakami
    I wanted the audience here to see that.
[18:54] Murakami
    I have no regrets.
[18:56] Murakami
    This is how I live my life.
[19:01] Rampo
    I think you're amazing.
[19:02] Rampo
    That's not something anyone can do.
[19:05] Rampo
    Speaking of which...
[19:07] Rampo
    Look at all the faces in the audience.
[19:14] Rampo
    Everyone here has two things in common.
[19:18] Rampo
    One is that they came
    specifically to see your play.
[19:22] Rampo
    The other is that they've witnessed
    a person's death up close.
[19:27] Rampo
    I'm not really sure, but does forcing
    the audience make such a face...
[19:34] Rampo
    really count as the pinnacle of acting?
[19:46] Murakami
    I see...
[19:49] Murakami
    I was doing all this acting for myself.
[20:05] Fukuzawa
    Rampo.
[20:07] Rampo
    These glasses are awesome, mister!
[20:10] Fukuzawa
    About that...
[20:12] Rampo
    With these glasses and my special ability,
     I'm going to be unstoppable!
[20:17] Mitamura
    Thank you, sirs!
[20:21] Mitamura
    Ever since I saw you, security policeman,
[20:24] Mitamura
    I was convinced that you
    would solve the case.
[20:27] Mitamura
    I never would have thought you'd
    have such a secret weapon.
[20:31] Fukuzawa
    About that...
[20:33] Mitamura
    I believe we must have you explain the
    resolution of the case at our station.
[20:39] Rampo
    Sure, but can I have that in my permit?
[20:42] Rampo
    "It's all thanks to my special
    abilities that we solved the case!"
[20:46] Rampo
    Just kidding.
[20:48] Mitamura
    You're Gifted?!
[20:49] Mitamura
    Like in the play?
[20:51] Mitamura
    Amazing!
[20:52] Mitamura
    Our young detective is Gifted?!
[20:54] Rampo
    That's right.
[20:55] Rampo
    A Gifted crime-solver.
[20:58] Rampo
    Brilliant detective Edogawa Rampo,
     at your service!
[21:00] Fukuzawa
    Hold it.
[21:02] Fukuzawa
    Sir, I'll handle the police hearing.
[21:06] Fukuzawa
    Rampo is exhausted from his detective work.
[21:09] Rampo
    Huh? I'm totally fine.
[21:11] Fukuzawa
    You simply inferred the truth
    through observation and deduction.
[21:16] Fukuzawa
    You never used any special ability.
[21:18] Rampo
    What are you talking about?
[21:20] Rampo
    You're the one who said I'm Gifted.
[21:23] Fukuzawa
    I'm telling you...
[21:24] Rampo
    Come on, do you seriously think
[21:27] Rampo
    I could have instantly seen through
    the case if I wasn't Gifted?
[21:30] Mitamura
    I don't think so!
[21:33] Rampo
    If the police are going to suck up to me,
    now's the time to do it!
[21:38] Rampo
    The ability to solve crimes instantly
[21:41] Rampo
    is a godly power that
    can threaten the police's jobs.
[21:44] Mitamura
    Sir!
[21:45] Rampo
    I can't wait to ride in the police car!
[21:48] Rampo
    Seems like this is going to take you a while,
     so I'll see you there, mister.
[21:54] Fukuzawa
    All right.
[21:56] Fukuzawa
    I'm going to discuss the cleanup
    tasks with Egawa-san.
[21:59] Fukuzawa
    I'll see you there.
[22:01] Fukuzawa
    Officer, please take care of Rampo.
[22:04] Mitamura
    Understood!
[22:05] Mitamura
    Bye.
[22:11] Rampo
    Fukuzawa-san!
[22:14] Rampo
    See ya later!
[22:23] Fukuzawa
    Fukuzawa-san, huh?
[22:27] Fukuzawa
    Do you have a moment?
[22:29] Manager
    Fukuzawa-san.
[22:31] Fukuzawa
    May I ask you something?
[22:33] Fukuzawa
    Who was the man that was
    unconscious for a while?
[22:37] Murakami
    I'm told that the gentleman is
    the other aim of this project.
[22:42] Fukuzawa
    You were told?
[22:44] Murakami
    I planned this project with
    the stagewright, Kurahashi.
[22:48] Murakami
    But he seemed to have plans of his own.
[22:52] Murakami
    The gentleman in the suit
    rarely appears in public.
[22:55] Murakami
    Apparently, capturing him
    was one of the objectives.
[22:59] Detective
    Fukuzawa-sensei!
[23:01] Detective
    Has the victim been here the whole time?
[23:04] Fukuzawa
    What's the matter?
[23:05] Detective
    The stagewright's been
    murdered in his room!
[23:08] Fukuzawa
    What?!
[23:09] Murakami
    No...
[23:11] Detective
    There doesn't seem to be any
    sign of a struggle at the scene.
[23:14] Detective
    He's been impaled from
    behind in his own, locked room.
[23:22] Manager
    A murder in a closed room?
[23:25] Fukuzawa
    What is going on?
[23:30] Rampo
    Hey, officer, are we there yet?
[23:33] Mitamura
    Soon.
