A beautiful song echoes throughout the city.
A city is overseen by the popular virtual idol group "μ", every day was filled with peace and serenity.
Ritsu Shikishima is a freshman at Miyabi city Kishimai High School.
With good grades and athletic skills, he was spending a fulfilling high school life surrounded by many of his friends.
Time has passed and on the first day of his second year, the one who stepped up to the podium as the class representative was someone who was not supposed to be there...

**[00:10] Ritsu**
Here I am, talking to you
again like this today.
**[00:16] Ritsu**
What I longed for was a peaceful
world where I could live
**[00:20] ---**
without harboring anxiety.
**[00:23] Ritsu**
Yet... I knew that was a dream
that wouldn't come true.
**[00:29] Ritsu**
So...
**[00:30] Ritsu**
I should at least be allowed to dream.
**[00:42] μ**
*My heartbeat resonates through the sky,*
**[00:48] μ**
*through endless, repeating days,*
**[00:53] μ**
*as I carry my hidden wounds.*
**[01:04] μ**
*The only freedom I'm allowed*
**[01:16] μ**
*is wandering.*
**[01:21] μ**
*So since you're here,*
**[01:24] μ**
*I want you to play your harmony for me.*
**[01:32] μ**
*It's like a brilliant ocean,*
**[01:36] μ**
*the spilling colors melting away.*
**[01:44] μ**
*Close your eyes, close your eyes.*
**[01:46] μ**
*It's all right now.*
**[01:52] Ritsu**
In the end, our lives
**[01:55] ---**
are possibly nothing more than
stories woven in between dreams.
**[02:00] Ritsu**
Don't you think so, μ?

**[02:18] Marie**
Good morning, Shikishima-kun.
**[02:22] Ritsu**
Good morning, Mizuguchi-san.
**[02:24] Marie**
What are you reading there?
**[02:30] Marie**
Hmm, math?
**[02:32] Ritsu**
No, psychology.
**[02:34] Marie**
Again?!
**[02:35] Marie**
Is the human mind really that interesting?
**[02:38] Marie**
I don't get it.
**[02:41] Ritsu**
This is called a Johari Window.
**[02:43] Ritsu**
It's an exercise to expand
one's unseen possibilities,
**[02:46] ---**
or in other words, to learn one's true self.
**[02:51] Ritsu**
It compares aspects of your
personality to a window.
**[02:53] Marie**
Hmm, a window?
**[02:57] Ritsu**
The rows of the window show whether
you understand yourself or not.
**[03:01] Ritsu**
The columns show whether others
understand you or not.
**[03:05] Ritsu**
This makes four windows:
**[03:07] ---**
the open, the blind, the hidden,
and the unknown.
**[03:12] Marie**
Uh-huh.
**[03:13] Ritsu**
By revealing more of yourself to others
or learning what others think of you,
**[03:19] ---**
you can expand the open.
**[03:22] Ritsu**
In doing so, you gain awareness of
aspects even the self hasn't noticed.
**[03:26] Ritsu**
Well? Interesting, right?
**[03:32] Marie**
The stuff you're talking
about is complicated.
**[03:34] Ritsu**
Is it?
**[03:35] Marie**
It is. Also...
**[03:38] Marie**
The hidden?
**[03:39] Marie**
Couldn't that be something
even you don't want to know?

*No, before I give a direct answer,*

**[05:33] Takatsu**
Hey, let's go to a ramen shop!
**[05:35] Toyama**
Ramen, again?
**[05:37] Toyama**
You really love it, Takatsu.
**[05:38] Takatsu**
When you're talking about high school
guys, you think ramen, right?
**[05:41] Takatsu**
It's part of our youth!
**[05:43] Yumita**
Really?
**[05:44] Yumita**
I don't think you'd call
that enjoying our youth.
**[05:49] Both**
I'm jealous.
**[05:50] Takatsu**
I'm not!
**[05:52] Takatsu**
Hey, Ritsu, let's hurry up
and hit the ramen shop!
**[05:54] Ritsu**
You know, sometimes bias causes myopia.
**[05:59] Toyama**
There it is. Professor Shikishima's
psychology lecture.
**[06:02] Takatsu**
"Myopia"? What's that?
**[06:05] Ritsu**
The northern pike is a large,
ugly freshwater fish,
**[06:08] ---**
but let's say we put it into an
aquarium divided by a glass wall.
**[06:12] Ritsu**
Then, we unleash lots of
small fish in the other side.
**[06:16] Ritsu**
The northern pike will rush
forward to eat the small fish
**[06:19] ---**
and hit the glass wall.
**[06:22] Ritsu**
Afterward, even if you remove the glass wall,
**[06:26] ---**
the northern pike won't attack
the small fish anymore.
**[06:30] Ritsu**
Because of its preconception.
**[06:32] Takatsu**
I don't understand.
**[06:34] Ritsu**
Uh, then...
**[06:37] Ritsu**
Imagine it's you inside the aquarium.
**[06:40] Takatsu**
It's cold.
**[06:41] Ritsu**
Now, let's say there's ramen on
the other side of a glass wall.
**[06:43] Yumita**
This is surreal.
**[06:44] Ritsu**
Takatsu-kun, you're dying to eat the ramen,
**[06:47] ---**
so you run into the glass wall and
**[06:49] Ritsu**
make a bloody mess of yourself.
**[06:52] Ritsu**
Now afterward, even if the
glass wall is removed,
**[06:54] ---**
you'll think that glass wall is still there,
so you'll hesitate to charge at it.
**[06:58] Takatsu**
I think I'd still charge at it.
**[07:01] Takatsu**
I mean, there's ramen there, right?
**[07:03] Ritsu**
You might end up covered in blood again.
**[07:05] Takatsu**
So what?
**[07:07] Takatsu**
I'd welcome getting covered in
blood if it means eating ramen.
**[07:10] Takatsu**
Besides, there are no glass walls around us.
**[07:15] Yumita**
Okay, you lose, professor!
**[07:17] Toyama**
Ritsu, you overthink everything.
**[07:20] Takatsu**
Wait for me, ramen!
**[07:22] Toyama**
Hey, wait up!
**[07:23] Yumita**
-Come, let's go, Ritsu!

"It's a dream combination of fulsome

"The two contrasting qualities
form a yin and yang of creation."

these two incompatible flavors."

aspects of the self that you

you can learn what others think of you.

*Aristotle writes, "To perceive is to suffer."*
**[18:34] Ritsu**
* Up until now, I never held any doubts*
* about my average, peaceful everyday life.*
**[18:39] Ritsu**
*No, that's wrong.*
**[18:41] Ritsu**
* Some part of my mind was*
* avoiding those doubts.*
**[18:45] Ritsu**
* Which means I was merely acting,*
* pretending not to notice.*
***SIGN*** Miyabi Municipal Kishimai High School Entrance Ceremony
**[18:50] Ritsu**
* Yet once I perceived it, it became*
* impossible to escape those incongruities.*
**[18:55] Ritsu**
* So just as every dream must end,*
* no matter how long...*
**[19:07] Ritsu**
*Eventually, a reality*
**[19:11] ---**
* that far surpasses what*
* "incongruity" can express*
**[19:14] ---**
*bears it fangs.*
**[19:22] Ritsu**
What on earth? What are you?
**[19:28] Kensuke**
Can you hear me?
**[19:32] Kensuke**
Uhh, I'm Hibiki Kensuke,
representative of the new students.
**[19:37] Kensuke**
We look forward to our
time here, upperclassmen!

**[20:07] Ritsu**
μ...
**[20:07] μ**
*I believed that I was someone special.*
**[20:15] μ**
*I will change this world,*

*Love me, though I'm no one.*
**[20:52] Kotaro**
Run!
**[20:55] Suzuna**
What on earth is going on?!
**[20:57] Kotaro**
I don't know!
**[20:58] μ**
* I don't want to accept that*
* I'm the same as others.*
**[20:59] Kotaro**
I don't know...

**[21:05] Marie**
What's going on?
**[21:07] Ritsu**
Huh? What's going?
**[21:11] Marie**
H-Hey!
**[21:12] μ**
*I'll remain a child, never growing up.*
**[21:13] Marie**
Hey!
**[21:15] Marie**
Shikishima-kun, you keep acting strange!
**[21:18] Marie**
Where are you going?!
**[21:19] Ritsu**
This isn't the time to worry about where!
**[21:19] μ**
*I want to keep dreaming until I die.*
**[21:25] μ**
*Open your eyes, and reflect me,*

What's happening?

What's happening?

What has to be done.
**[02:24] Ritsu**
Hey, what are those?!
**[02:26] Shogo**
I'll explain later!
**[02:27] Shogo**
For now, just run!
**[02:37] Marie**
I don't think we should get involved.
**[02:40] Marie**
I heard from my friends.
**[02:43] Marie**
They call that man the fighter.
**[02:45] Ritsu**
The fighter?
**[02:53] Ritsu**
That's clearly more than just a normal fight.
**[02:56] Shogo**
It's useless!
**[02:56] Shogo**
She can't see them.
**[02:59] Ritsu**
She can't...
**[03:00] Ritsu**
Huh, what do you?
**[03:03] Shogo**
There's no end to them.
**[03:06] Ritsu**
Hey?!
**[03:06] Marie**
Shikishima-kun?!
**[03:14] Ritsu**
Mizuguchi-san!
**[03:15] Shogo**
That woman's fine!
**[03:16] Shogo**
Right now, worry about yourself!
**[03:21] Shogo**
Hurry up. If they catch you, it's over.
**[03:31] Naruko**
The fighter, Satake Shogo!
**[03:33] Naruko**
I see he's out there getting
into trouble as usual.
**[03:37] Naruko**

That guy with him was...
**[03:45] Naruko**
That same guy who caused a fuss at
the entrance ceremony, right?
**[03:48] Naruko**
What on earth are those two up to?
**[03:51] Naruko**
I want to know!
**[03:59] Kensuke**
You should just accept it and enjoy it more.
**[04:21] Shogo**
I'm sure you're feeling guilty about
abandoning your classmate to get here,
**[04:26] Shogo**
but as I said,
**[04:27] Shogo**
she'll be fine.
**[04:28] Ritsu**
Do you have proof of that?
Why I should believe you?!
**[04:41] Shogo**
You're a stubborn one.
**[04:43] Shogo**
She hasn't noticed.
**[04:45] Shogo**
So those things won't attack her.
**[04:47] Ritsu**
Hasn't noticed... what?
**[04:51] Shogo**
What? Something you and
I have already realized.
**[04:56] Shogo**
You know what I mean, right?
**[05:04] Shogo**
You really don't?
**[05:07] Shogo**
But in that case, why did that
musician only half awaken you?
**[05:13] Ritsu**
What are you saying you've noticed?
**[05:16] Shogo**
Well...
**[05:19] Shogo**
You know...
**[05:21] Ritsu**
You won't talk about
yourself either, will you?
**[05:24] Ritsu**
I can't trust you.
**[05:28] Shogo**
You're...
**[05:30] Shogo**
You're the first one like me I've found.
**[05:34] Ritsu**
Like you?
**[05:37] Aria**
Ah, jeez!
**[05:41] Aria**
Shogo, you suck at explaining!
**[05:44] Shogo**
I was just about to tell him
about it from the beginning.
**[05:47] Aria**
You can't do it, so I'll explain for you.
**[05:51] Aria**
Hello! I'm Aria!
**[05:53] Aria**
Ritsu, please! Save μ!
**[05:56] Ritsu**
What's this pipsqueak?
**[06:00] Aria**
That tickles! That tickles!
And who's a pipsqueak here?!
**[06:05] Aria**
This isn't time for that, you know!
**[06:08] Aria**
You were able to hear my voice, right?
**[06:11] Ritsu**
Your voice?
**[06:14] (Flashback) Aria**
Stop μ! Save μ!
**[06:17] Ritsu**
That was you?!
**[06:19] Aria**
Yes.
**[06:21] Aria**
Something awful has happened to μ.
**[06:25] Aria**
So, please! Save μ!
**[06:28] Aria**
Please, please, I really need your help.
**[06:33] Aria**
Or in this case, help μ?
**[06:35] Aria**
Help what?
**[06:37] Shogo**
Don't ask me.
**[06:39] Ritsu**
Um... I still don't follow
what you're saying.
**[06:44] Shogo**
Your explanation is too vague!
**[06:47] Aria**
That's not my fault!
**[06:49] Aria**
My power, body, memory and
everything else have floated off.
**[06:52] Aria**
It's still better than
your rough explanation!
**[06:56] Shogo**
What was that?!
**[06:57] Aria**
What?!
**[07:00] Shogo & Aria**
Come with me!
**[07:04] Shogo & Aria**
He's gone.
**[07:21] Marie**
*Shikishima-kun?*
**[07:23] Ritsu**
Mizuguchi-san, how have, uh...
**[07:27] Ritsu**
How did it go?
**[07:28] Marie**
*Huh? Nothing important's happened.*
**[07:31] Marie**
*I just got back from the opening ceremonies.*
**[07:34] Ritsu**
I see.
**[07:35] Marie**
*Honestly, what's wrong with you?*
**[07:37] Marie**
* You're acting rather weird*
* today, Shikishima-kun.*
**[07:42] Ritsu**
Mizuguchi-san...
**[07:44] Marie**
*What is it?*
**[07:46] Marie**
*Shikishima-kun?*
**[07:48] Ritsu**
No, it's nothing.
**[07:50] Marie**
* Maybe you're getting worn out from reading*
* all those complicated books all the time?*
**[07:54] Ritsu**
You think so?
**[07:56] Marie**
*Oh, right. You were mentioned by the gossiper.*
**[08:00] Marie**
*I'll send it to you.*
**[08:02] Marie**
*Well, see you tomorrow at school!*
**[08:04] Ritsu**
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
***SIGN*** You all know about the school troublemaker, Satake Shogo? If you know anything, send it over!
**[08:13] Ritsu**
This is from earlier?!
***SIGN*** Is he strong in a fight? He keeps beating people up and getting beat down.
***SIGN*** Is he strong in a fight?
He keeps beating people
up and getting beat down.
He doesn't seem like a delinquent,
though. He's always alone.
***SIGN*** Kishimai's mad dog appears lol
Narukonne
***SIGN*** Shogo-chan's the one
getting attacked lolololol
Who's that with him? A new character?
**[08:24] Ritsu**
So there is a discrepancy
in everyone's cognition.
**[08:27] Ritsu**
Mass hysteria?
**[08:29] Ritsu**
That, or...
**[08:31] Ritsu**
No, that wouldn't explain it.
**[08:33] Ritsu**
The most likely answer is...
***SIGN*** Man, Shogo-chan'll attack anyone he sees wearing a Kishimai uniform, won't he? He's completely crazy.
**[08:40] Ritsu**
that I'm the one who's mad.
**[08:48] Aria**
I hope Ritsu's okay.
**[08:51] Aria**
It would be nice if he stays safe.
**[08:53] Shogo**
Yeah. We need to do something
before those guys capture him.
**[09:00] Aria**
Ah!
**[09:01] Aria**
This is you and Ritsu!
**[09:03] Aria**
You're being recorded in secret?!
**[09:06] Aria**
What, what? Someone's obsessed with you?
**[09:08] Aria**
Is it a stalker?
**[09:10] Aria**
I know! I know!
**[09:12] Aria**
Shogo, you've made enemies
in a lot of places, huh?
***SIGN*** Does anyone know anything about the commotion at the entrance ceremony hall today? Intel please!! Narukonne
**[09:19] Aria**
What's the matter?
**[09:20] Shogo**
We might be able to use this.
**[09:23] Aria**
What do you mean?
**[09:24] Shogo**
When we were in the auditorium...
**[09:26] Shogo**
There were others who reacted
like Shikishima Ritsu.
**[09:30] Shogo**
There should be those in that
group who managed to run
**[09:32] ---**
and escape from the Digiheads for now.
**[09:36] Aria**
You're right!
**[09:37] Aria**
Let's go gather up the others!
**[09:40] Shogo**
The more heads we have, the better.
**[09:49] Kotaro**
We're okay.
**[09:50] Kotaro**
It looks like they all went somewhere else.
**[09:54] Kotaro**
Cheer up!
**[09:56] Kotaro**
Tomoe Kotaro-sama is on your side!
**[09:59] Suzuna**
Why did everyone...
**[10:01] Suzuna**
Is there something wrong with us now?
**[10:03] Kotaro**
That's not it!
**[10:06] Suzuna**
My mind has been feeling
funny since that commotion.
**[10:10] Suzuna**
Like I'm me, but not me.
**[10:14] Kotaro**
I-I'm not feeling funny at all!
**[10:17] Kotaro**
It's my duty to rescue those in trouble.
**[10:20] Kotaro**
I don't have time to be acting funny.
**[10:23] Kotaro**
You'll be fine, too!
I'm sure everyone just got sick!
**[10:26] Kotaro**
I saw on TV...
**[10:28] Kotaro**
There's some kind of nasty virus in
ants or spiders that explodes outward.
**[10:36] Kotaro**
Sorry!
**[10:37] Kotaro**
I wasn't trying to scare you or anything.

**[13:36] Ritsu**
Takatsu, you're okay?!
**[13:37] Takatsu**
*Are you okay?*
**[13:39] Takatsu**
* What have you been doing since you*
* ran out of the entrance ceremonies?*
**[13:44] Ritsu**
Hey, can I ask you something?
**[13:47] Takatsu**
*Hm? What is it?*
**[13:49] Ritsu**
At the entrance ceremonies today...
**[13:51] Ritsu**
Back then, did you see anything strange?
**[13:54] Takatsu**
*Huh? Is your head okay?*
**[13:57] Takatsu**
*Where are you right now, Ritsu?*
**[13:59] Takatsu**
*Let's meet up and talk.*
**[14:04] Takatsu**
*Come on, man!*
**[14:06] Ritsu**
All right.
**[14:08] Ritsu**
Then let's meet at the traffic circle in
front of the station in one hour.
**[14:13] Kotaro**
Suzuna, hurry!
**[14:17] Suzuna**
What is that?
**[14:20] Kotaro**
I don't know, but there's
one thing I'm sure of!
**[14:25] Kotaro**
The guys back at school
aren't the only crazy ones.
**[14:31] Driver**
Where to, ma'am?
**[14:36] Mifue**
Tokyo.
**[14:44] Toyama**
Man, Ritsu sure is late!
**[14:48] Takatsu**
He's the one who said an "in an hour," too.
**[14:51] Yumita**
Maybe he forgot since he's been
spacing out a lot here lately.
**[14:58] Takatsu**
Hello, you alive?
**[15:02] Ritsu**
* I've been thinking about a*
* lot of things since then.*
**[15:05] ---**
Hm?
**[15:06] Ritsu**
If there were a bacterial infection
causing some kind of pandemic,
**[15:10] Ritsu**
and if this city were the
source of the outbreak,
**[15:14] Ritsu**
then it should have spread
further outside the city by now.
**[15:17] Ritsu**
But from my investigation,
**[15:19] Ritsu**
there hasn't been a single report of
any such incidents on any news sites.
**[15:23] Ritsu**
No images have been recorded
on smartphone cameras, either.
**[15:25] Ritsu**
* There's a large discrepancy*
* between what I saw*
**[15:29] ---**
*and what other people have perceived.*
**[15:32] Takatsu**
Hey! None of this is very interesting.
**[15:35] Takatsu**
Where are you?!
**[15:37] Ritsu**
So I thought there was some kind of
**[15:39] ---**
irregularity with my own
vision and hearing,
**[15:43] ---**
causing visual and auditory hallucinations.
**[15:48] Ritsu**
At least until I noticed this...
**[16:02] μ**
*My heartbeat resonates through the sky,*
**[16:06] Ritsu**
I knew it.
**[16:07] μ**
*through endless, repeating days,*
**[16:07] Ritsu**
μ's song was always playing when
people like you would attack me.
**[16:13] μ**
Plus, this sight is unmistakably
not an illusion.
**[16:13] μ**
*as I carry my hidden wounds.*
**[16:19] μ**
I'm not the one who has gone mad.
**[16:23] Ritsu**
I'm not crazy!
**[16:27] Thorn**
It would seem there's someone
your feelings haven't reached.
**[16:31] μ**
Why?
**[16:33] μ**
What am I doing wrong?
**[16:36] μ**
I just want to make
everyone happy. That's all.
**[16:41] Thorn**
We, the Ostinato Musicians,
will show them the way, so don't worry.
**[16:47] Thorn**
Now, please sing for them, μ.
**[16:52] μ**
* Hey, let's stare into each other's eyes*
* and race through the night sky.*
**[16:58] μ**
*Don't cry. I'll fly again in your eyes.*
**[17:06] Ritsu**
*What's going on here?*
**[17:11] Ritsu**
Them, too?!
**[17:16] μ**
*There's a bunny playing amongst the comets,*
**[17:22] μ**
*In this dazzlingly dark universe*
**[17:27] Takatsu**
Ritsu, you're late!
**[17:28] μ**
* It's mysterious, and mysterious*
* that it's mysterious.*
**[17:30] Yumita**
You really kept us waiting!
**[17:33] Toyama**
So, what did you want?
**[17:33] μ**
*I found your voice here again,*
**[17:39] μ**
*and aging stars burst in supernovas,*
**[17:47] μ**
*giving birth.*
**[17:49] Kotaro**
Damn, they're appearing again!
**[17:50] μ**
* In this nebulous sadness,*
* no matter how scared you are,*
**[17:51] Kotaro**
Suzuna, hurry!
**[17:56] μ**
*I'll always hold you tight.*
**[18:01] Bus**
*Now departing.*
**[18:02] μ**
* When the gentle breeze blows*
* throw the cracks of our cosmos,*
**[18:08] μ**
*I'll accept all your desires,*
**[18:10] Kotaro**
I knew it, these ones with the staticky heads
**[18:13] ---**
seem different from the pointy-headed
ones that attacked us earlier.
**[18:16] μ**
*In the orbit of our souls.*
**[18:28] Toyama**
What are you so dissatisfied with?
**[18:28] μ**
* Don't turn around, your home*
* is here, isn't it? Right?*
**[18:30] Yumita**
We've been having a fun
time together, haven't we?
**[18:32] Yumita**
Right, Ritsu?
**[18:39] Shogo**
I finally found you.
**[18:39] μ**
*You don't have to strong. You can be pitiful.*
**[18:42] Toyama**
Rogue.
**[18:43] Toyama**
Eliminate!
**[18:45] Aria**
Shogo! Get them!
**[18:45] μ**
*Just keep believing, in my eyes.*
**[18:57] Kensuke**
So hot-blooded.
**[19:06] Ritsu**
Takatsu, Yumita...
**[19:09] Shogo**
You all right, Shikishima Ritsu?
**[19:14] Aria**
Hey! You!
**[19:15] Shogo**
I won't keep you here anymore.
**[19:17] Aria**
Shogo?!
**[19:18] Shogo**
But if you feel like talking...
**[19:21] Shogo**
We'll be in the music prep room
inside the old school building.
**[19:26] Aria**
Was it okay to let him go like that?
**[19:29] Shogo**
Who knows?
**[19:32] Shogo**
But nothing others say
**[19:35] ---**
can help anyone accept it.
**[19:41] Shogo**
Until they confirm it with their own eyes,
**[19:43] ---**
they have no way to understand
**[19:46] Shogo**
the circumstances they've been thrown into.
**[19:53] Bus**
*Next Stop, Okitama. Okitama.*
**[19:57] Bus**
*This is the final stop for this train.*
**[19:59] Bus**
* Please be sure to take your belongings*
* and be careful as you leave.*
**[20:03] Ritsu**
I thought the last stop was much farther out?
**[20:08] Kotaro**
They're telling us to get
off here? What's going on?
**[20:12] Kotaro**
Right, Suzuna?
**[20:13] Kotaro**
Hm?
**[20:15] Mifue**
Hey!
**[20:16] Mifue**
We haven't made it to Tokyo!
**[20:32] Ritsu**
If this is a pandemic, I'm not
the one suffering from it.
**[20:37] Ritsu**
Then, what's...
**[20:44] Kotaro**
What is this?!
**[21:10] μ**
I'm sorry.
**[21:11] μ**
I haven't created anything past this point yet.
**[21:14] μ**
Right now, I can't create any
farther regions for Mobius.
**[21:19] Ritsu**
What do you mean? What are you saying?!
**[21:21] μ**
I can create anything else you'd like, though.
**[21:25] μ**
What would you like?
**[21:26] μ**
A new family?
**[21:28] μ**
Friends? Or...
**[21:36] Mifue**
Oh, right...
**[21:39] Mifue**
I need to search for my mother.
**[21:45] Ritsu**
*I finally understand.*
**[21:47] Ritsu**
* Neither myself, Takatsu,*
* nor the others were mad.*
**[21:52] Ritsu**
*This world is mad!*
**[23:27] Voice**
Chirp, chirp.

Oh, no! I've confused the president!
***SIGN*** Why do we live?

Are you really confused?

I am.

It's very dreamy-cute!

Hurry, hurry! Let's chat about a
whole bunch of stuff together!
**[00:30] Iris**
The desserts are really good, too!
**[00:37] SweetP**
Now, eat up, Sunflower!
**[02:25] Ritsu**
I'm not the one who's mad.
**[02:31] Ritsu**
This world is mad.
**[02:43] Mifue**
Mother...
**[02:45] Mifue**
She hasn't responded to my texts lately.
**[02:49] Mifue**
There's no mention of her in the gossiper.
**[02:53] Mifue**
Is there anyone who knows about her?
**[02:57] Mifue**
Seriously, what's happening here?
**[03:09] Mifue**
A tea party?

Mother...
**[03:28] Thorn**
Dissonance has begun to play
and disturbs our Mobius.
**[03:41] Thorn**
You understand, right? We can't
afford to let them awaken.
**[03:45] Mirei**
Mobius is built from everyone's dreams, too.
**[03:49] Mirei**
Some people just can't get a clue.
**[03:54] IkeP**
They'd be happy living in this world, too.
**[03:57] IkeP**
What wasteful actions.
**[03:59] Shadow Knife**
They're unforgivable.
**[04:01] Shadow Knife**
No mercy for them.
**[04:04] KagiP**
It's hard to understand them.
**[04:06] KagiP**
This is the problem with Rogues.
**[04:08] Mirei**
Well, it appears we have some musicians
**[04:11] ---**
who were beaten back by those Rogues.
**[04:14] Thorn**
We Musicians are Mobius's tuners.
**[04:17] Thorn**
We must correct this distortion in our world,
**[04:21] ---**
for the sake of perfect
happiness, and for μ's sake.
**[04:24] IkeP**
Well, there's at least one of us
who barely bothers to show up.
**[04:30] SweetP**
Here, here, Thorn-chan!
Leave this to dreamy-cute me!
**[04:36] SweetP**
I've taken a liking to her.
**[04:38] SweetP**
She's slender, healthy...
**[04:41] SweetP**
And I just want to crush her.
**[04:44] Thorn**
We must give the heretics guidance.
**[04:47] Thorn**
That is our destiny as Ostinato Musicians.
**[04:54] Kotaro**
Hey, Suzuna.
**[04:56] Kotaro**
This is a library, right?
**[04:58] Kotaro**
Are you sure this place is okay?
**[05:00] Suzuna**
Yes.
**[05:03] Kotaro**
But still, you also, well... back there...
**[05:07] Kotaro**
You realized it, too, right? The truth.
**[05:14] Kotaro**
No, it's nothing!
**[05:16] Kotaro**
More importantly, those strange
things might attack us again.
**[05:20] Kotaro**
Will you be all right on your own?
**[05:22] Suzuna**
Hardly any Kishimai students
come to this library.
**[05:27] Kotaro**
Oh! Right, the pointy ones that attacked us
were all wearing our school uniform!
**[05:32] Suzuna**
So I'll be safe here.
**[05:35] Kotaro**
I see. Then I'll contact you again later.
**[05:38] Kotaro**
If you're ever in trouble,
just give me a call.
**[05:40] Suzuna**
N-No, you don't have to.
**[05:43] Suzuna**
H-Hey...
**[05:45] Kotaro**
Kagura Suzuna, there.
**[05:53] Kotaro**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:55] Kotaro**
It wouldn't be a rescue if we didn't
make sure we're both safe.
**[05:57] Kotaro**
Later.
**[05:58] Kotaro**
I'm going to take a look around to see
whether anyone else is in trouble like us.
**[06:05] Suzuna**
I wonder if he's here.
**[06:28] (Flashback) μ**
I'm sorry.
**[06:30] (Flashback) μ**
I haven't created anything past this point yet.
**[06:33] (Flashback) μ**
Right now, I can't create any
farther regions for Mobius.
**[06:38] (Flashback) μ**
I can create anything else you'd like, though.
**[06:41] (Flashback) μ**
What would you like?
**[06:42] (Flashback) μ**
A new family?
**[06:44] (Flashback) μ**
Friends? Or...
**[06:49] Ritsu**
* If what μ said back then*
* is to be believed,*
**[06:52] Ritsu**
*then this world is artificial.*
**[06:55] Ritsu**
*That's the only explanation.*
**[06:59] Ritsu**
*Someone once said,*
**[07:01] Ritsu**
*"If I were to save the world,"*
**[07:04] ---**
* "I would spend 59 minutes*
* understanding the problem"*
**[07:07] ---**
*"and one minute resolving it."*
**[07:11] Ritsu**
* That's the important part:*
* understanding this world.*
**[07:15] Ritsu**
*Not seeking an easy resolution.*
**[07:18] Ritsu**
*Think. Think about it.*
**[07:29] Voice**
* There's a fantastical, milky, dreamy-cute*
* tea party for girls starting at 10 o'clock!*
**[07:34] Mifue**
I should be able to find out here.
**[07:41] Mifue**
Dreamy-cute...
**[07:51] SweetP**
Ladies and pretty girls!
**[07:54] ---**
Welcome to SweetP's tea party!
**[07:59] Rose**
Now, enjoy today to the depths of your being!
**[08:02] Lily**
Sit wherever you like!
**[08:04] Lily**
What leaves would you like?
**[08:06] Iris**
I recommend the Earl Grey.
It matches today's snacks perfectly!
**[08:10] Rose**
We're the flower princesses,
and we welcome you!
**[08:14] Iris**
I look forward to chatting!
**[08:16] Iris**
There are lots of snacks to eat, too!
**[08:19] Naruko**
Man, I'm super lucky getting to
participate in SweetP's tea party!
**[08:24] Mifue**
U-Uh, is this...
**[08:26] Naruko**
Yes!
**[08:27] Naruko**
The center of social life for
ladies, admired by all girls.
**[08:30] Naruko**
The secret party where all manner
of wonderful secret tales
**[08:32] ---**
and hidden rumors are exchanged!
**[08:36] Naruko**
That's SweetP's tea party.
**[08:41] Naruko**
Wow, made fresh!
**[08:43] Naruko**
This is great!
**[08:44] Mifue**
Yes.
**[08:45] Naruko**
This is it, taking photos!
**[08:45] Mifue**
I should be able to gather all
kinds of information here.
**[08:48] SweetP**
Uh-huh. Let's share lots of stories.
**[08:52] SweetP**
So, what's the name of our new friend?
**[08:55] Mifue**
M-Mifue. Shinohara Mifue.
**[08:59] SweetP**
Shinoha...
**[09:05] Mifue**
Wh-What's so funny?!
**[09:07] Naruko**
Using your real name won't work here.
**[09:09] Naruko**
You have to go by a fairy name.
**[09:12] Mifue**
F-Fairy?
**[09:13] SweetP**
You have a fairy name, right?
**[09:15] Rose**
I'm Rose.
**[09:17] Lily**
I'm Lily.
**[09:18] Iris**
I'm Iris.
**[09:20] Naruko**
By the way, I'm Snapdragon.
**[09:23] Mifue**
The names of flowers?
**[09:26] Mifue**
U-Uh, then, S-Sunflower!
**[09:28] SweetP**
Uh-huh, that's a cute name.
**[09:31] SweetP**
Nice to meet you, Sunflower.
**[09:33] Mifue**
Y-Yes.
**[09:35] Mifue**
So, I'm looking for my mother.
**[09:37] SweetP**
Non non, non non.
**[09:40] SweetP**
No sour looks like that here!
**[09:43] SweetP**
You have to be more dreamy-cute!
**[09:45] Mifue**
But...
**[09:46] SweetP**
If you don't, then we can't
chat together, you know?
**[09:52] Mifue**
H-Hello! I'm Sunflower. Nice to meet you.
**[09:59] Mifue**
I want to have fun chatting
with you all, too, meow!
**[10:03] Mifue**
Let me in, meow!
**[10:05] SweetP**
Mmm, very cute!
**[10:08] SweetP**
Very dreamy cute!
**[10:09] SweetP**
Now, everyone, let's start the tea party!
**[10:50] (Flashback) Shogo**
I won't keep you here any more.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Shogo**
But if you feel like talking...
**[10:58] Ritsu**
The music prep room...
**[11:03] Ritsu**
Out of time, huh?
**[11:07] Lily**
Oh, Rosie! When did you
buy such a cute accessory?
**[11:12] Rose**
My, you noticed it? I had it
hand-made at the usual shop.
**[11:17] Iris**
Wow, I'm so jealous!
**[11:19] Naruko**
Mind if I print this in the gossiper?
**[11:21] Mifue**
W-Wow, I want one, too!
**[11:24] Mifue**
S-So, I'd like to hear about my mother.
**[11:28] Rose**
Iris, your *chouchou* scrunchie is cute, too!
**[11:32] Iris**
It's so pretty!
**[11:34] Mifue**
Hey, hey!
**[11:35] Mifue**
Would you like to listen to my stories?!
**[11:37] SweetP**
So, Sunflower, are you having fun?
**[11:40] Mifue**
Y-Yes! I'm having a wonderful time!
**[11:43] Mifue**
Everyone's just so cute!
**[11:45] Mifue**
So cute...
**[11:49] SweetP**
All kinds of secrets find their
way here to my secret tea party.
**[11:54] SweetP**
Even those about your acquaintance.
**[11:57] SweetP**
But first, let's enjoy chatting together!
**[12:01] Iris**
Sunflower, what kind of snacks do you like?
**[12:05] Mifue**
Oh, uh, macarons?
**[12:09] Iris**
Then here, have some of my macarons!
**[12:12] Mifue**
Th-Thanks...
**[12:14] Lily**
How many sugar cubes would you like
in your tea? Three? Four?
**[12:18] Mifue**
Y-You don't need to make mine that sweet.
**[12:22] Lily**
Now, now. No need to hold back!
**[12:27] Mifue**
M-More importantly,
I'm looking for someone!
**[12:31] Iris**
Hey, look!
**[12:33] Iris**
These frills are really cute!
**[12:37] Mifue**
Hey!
**[12:39] Mifue**
Everyone, would you chat with me, too?
**[12:41] Rose**
No, no. You don't have
enough dreamy-cuteness.
**[12:45] Naruko**
This chocolate's great!
**[12:48] Mifue**
I want to be a part of this, too.
**[12:50] Mifue**
Leaving me out is boo, boo!
**[12:53] Rose**
That's very cute!
**[12:55] Lily**
What, what? What would you
like to talk about, Sunflower?
**[12:59] Mifue**
M-My mother—
**[13:00] SweetP**
Now, everyone!
**[13:01] SweetP**
It's time for the second round of snacks!
**[13:03] SweetP**
Of course there's extra, extra cream!
**[13:18] Rose**
Yay!
**[13:19] Lily**
Looks delicious!
**[13:20] Iris**
Time to enjoy some!
**[13:28] Lily**
It's fluffy and melts in your mouth!
**[13:29] Song**
*A chiffon moon*
**[13:34] Song**
*circles around a lace sun,*
**[13:36] Iris**
More! More!
**[13:39] Song**
*and I rub my sleepy eyes by the window.*
**[13:41] Naruko**
It's like it's feeding time!
**[13:45] Song**
*I want to be loved more than others.*
**[13:51] Song**
*I dream of drowning in a sea of tea,*
**[13:53] Rose**
Those macarons are mine.
**[13:56] Rose**
Please don't take them!
**[13:58] Iris**
Those are mine!
**[13:59] Song**
* but I don't want to leave,*
* so please don't wake me.*
**[14:01] SweetP**
My, don't fight!
**[14:03] SweetP**
Go on, Sunflower. Don't hold back. Eat up!
**[14:06] Song**
*I'm embraced in a silk bed,*
**[14:06] Rose**
Go on, Sunflower.
**[14:08] Lily**
Go on, Sunflower.
**[14:09] Iris**
Sunflower!
**[14:10] Song**
*but I'm still sleepy, so stop the alarm.*
**[14:10] Three**
Sunflower!
**[14:13] Mifue**
You fat slobs.
**[14:14] Mifue**
Filthy!
**[14:15] Mifue**
Filthy, filthy, filthy, filthy, filthy!
**[14:18] Mifue**
What is wrong with you?!
**[14:19] Mifue**
You keep chatting about nonsense, oinking
away with food crammed in your mouths!
**[14:24] Mifue**
Screw dreamy-cute! Are you idiots?!
**[14:27] Mifue**
You won't even listen to others!
**[14:29] ---**
Do you have marshmallows
stuffed in your ears?!
**[14:31] Naruko**
S-Sunflower?
**[14:33] Mifue**
I hate you fatties!
**[14:34] Mifue**
None of you has any tact,
**[14:37] ---**
and you don't even care how much
of a nuisance you are to others!
**[14:39] Mifue**
Eating is the only thing on your minds,
**[14:41] ---**
and you chomp-chomp-chomp
away at anything like pigs!
**[14:44] Mifue**
Then you wear those clothes that
don't even match your figures,
**[14:47] ---**
grossing out everyone around you!
**[14:49] Mifue**
Don't you understand people
are laughing at you?!
**[14:51] Mifue**
Don't you realize how disgusting you are?!
**[14:53] Mifue**
You're a nuisance!
**[15:00] SweetP**
So those are your true feelings?
**[15:03] SweetP**
You hate fat people that much, huh?
**[15:06] SweetP**
So that's why you erased your mother.
***SIGN*** Why do we live? The further we purse the
meaning of life, the more confused we become.
**[15:14] Mother**
You're lucky, Mifue.
**[15:16] Mother**
You don't gain weight from eating.
**[15:19] Mother**
Well, take your time and enjoy it, Mifue.
**[15:24] μ**
Hey, is it fun here?
**[15:26] Mifue**
Huh?
**[15:27] μ**
Tell me, Mifue.
**[15:29] Mifue**
Yeah.
**[15:30] Mifue**
But I wish I could eat dinner with my mother.
**[15:34] Mifue**
Mother's so gaunt.
**[15:36] μ**
All right! That'll bring you happiness, then?
**[15:42] Mother**
It was cold out today, right?
**[15:44] Mother**
So I'm making a stew.
**[15:46] Mother**
I wanted to eat some, too.
**[15:47] Mother**
I hope it turns out well.
**[15:49] Mother**
Right, Mifue-chan?
**[15:55] Mifue**
Mother?
**[15:59] SweetP**
You're looking for your erased mother?
**[16:02] SweetP**
After μ went to the lengths
of preparing you a new one?
**[16:07] Mifue**
No!
**[16:08] Mifue**
I never asked her to change my mother!
**[16:12] SweetP**
No, you wished for it.
**[16:15] SweetP**
μ just granted your wish.
**[16:16] Mifue**
Shut up! Be quiet!
**[16:19] Mifue**
Where is my mother?!
**[16:20] Mifue**
All rumors find way their way here, right?!
**[16:22] Mifue**
Quit avoiding it!
**[16:23] SweetP**
You still don't understand after coming here?
**[16:30] Mifue**
You tricked me?!
**[16:32] SweetP**
You've realized it, right?
**[16:39] SweetP**
You,
**[16:41] SweetP**
yourself,
**[16:42] SweetP**
erased
**[16:44] SweetP**
your mother!
**[16:46] Mifue**
No!
**[16:48] SweetP**
You're really selfish, getting so upset
**[16:48] Mifue**
No! No! No! No!
**[16:52] ---**
after your wish was granted.
**[16:53] ---**
No!
**[16:55] SweetP**
You're self-centered,
**[16:56] SweetP**
egotistical,
**[16:59] SweetP**
and you harbor an awful lot
of hatred toward ugly things.
**[17:04] SweetP**
You sure dissed the appearance
**[17:08] ---**
of the flower princesses a great deal,
**[17:10] SweetP**
but your heart's ugly, too.
**[17:14] Mifue**
I-I'm not ugly.
**[17:19] SweetP**
Oh, really?
**[17:20] SweetP**
You're searching for your mother
only to satisfy yourself, right?
**[17:24] SweetP**
"Sorry for erasing you, Mother!"
**[17:27] SweetP**
What an egotist.
**[17:30] SweetP**
Such filthy thoughts, such an ugly heart...
**[17:32] Mifue**
No... No...
**[17:35] SweetP**
This is a world where anything
you wish for will be granted.
**[17:39] SweetP**
It can make a lovely mother for you,
and you can become whoever you want to be.
**[17:44] SweetP**
Oh, does this mean the real you is—
**[17:47] Mifue**
Stop!
**[17:53] Mifue**
Enough...
**[17:56] Mifue**
Stop already.
**[17:58] Naruko**
Hey, Sunflower, are you okay?
**[18:01] Naruko**
Does your stomach hurt?
**[18:03] SweetP**
Here in this world,
**[18:05] SweetP**
you don't have to recall anything unpleasant.
**[18:09] SweetP**
See? μ will grant any wish.
**[18:12] SweetP**
She'll make all the unpleasantness go away.
**[18:16] SweetP**
There's no need to worry about anything.
**[18:21] SweetP**
You don't have to think.
**[18:22] SweetP**
You can let yourself go
as your heart desires.
**[18:28] Digihead**
Here, order's ready!
**[18:31] SweetP**
It's here!
**[18:35] Three**
It looks so good!
**[18:36] Naruko**
Huh?! You're going to eat more?!
**[18:38] SweetP**
Ramen's a dessert!
**[18:40] SweetP**
It's my favorite, sweet fat!
**[18:43] Naruko**
Hm? Where have I heard that line?
**[18:46] Lily**
Time to eat!
**[18:54] Naruko**
Hm...
**[19:06] SweetP**
Finished off, thanks!
**[19:08] Naruko**
That line, flipping the finished bowl...
**[19:11] Naruko**
Huh? Nijouin Shizuka?
**[19:16] Mifue**
Nijouin?
**[19:17] Naruko**
Uh, who was that?
**[19:19] Naruko**
A ramen blogger... and a chubby old man?
**[19:23] SweetP**
Don't call me old or chubby!
**[19:32] Mifue**
A world where any wish is granted...
**[19:36] Mifue**
You can become whoever you want to be?
**[19:40] Mifue**
Whoever you want to be?
**[19:41] SweetP**
Don't look! Don't say anything!
**[19:44] SweetP**
I am SweetP!
**[19:46] SweetP**
This world's most dreamy-cute musician,
**[19:49] ---**
full of frilly clothes and sweet desserts!
**[19:53] Naruko**
Hm? I don't really understand,
but I'll take some photos.
**[20:02] SweetP**
No!
**[20:04] SweetP**
Don't take photos of my ugly self!
**[20:10] Mifue**
I see. So that man also...
**[20:13] Naruko**
So what was all that about in the end?
**[20:18] Naruko**
I wonder what that was.
**[20:21] Naruko**
Well, the tea party wasn't
lacking in material, at least.
**[20:25] Naruko**
Hey, you snapped back there, right?
**[20:27] Naruko**
Do you hate fat people that much?
**[20:30] Mifue**
I loathe them.
**[20:34] Naruko**
Now, spreading, spreading!
**[20:36] Naruko**
I haven't stopped getting
notifications since posting
**[20:39] ---**
that photo of SweetP spewing ramen.
**[20:42] Naruko**
Huh?! What is this?!
**[20:45] Naruko**
Huh? The pictures of the
fighter Satake Shogo...
**[20:49] Naruko**
The... pictures have...
**[20:50] Naruko**
M-Monsters?!
**[20:53] Naruko**
They're here, too?!
**[20:56] Mifue**
Did you just now realize it?

Yes.

Yes.

**[00:15] Akira**
Poor Smeagol.
**[00:19] Suzuna**
*Lord of the Rings*, right?
**[00:22] Akira**
Smeagol was captivated by the ring's power,
**[00:25] ---**
so he followed after Frodo and Sam,
**[00:27] ---**
ultimately losing his life
together with his precious ring.
**[00:31] Suzuna**
Why does that make him pitiful?
**[00:35] Akira**
Because he was isolated,
paranoid of the entire world
**[00:42] ---**
without respite or salvation.
***SIGN*** The Return of the King
**[00:53] Kotaro**
Hm?
**[00:55] Kotaro**
Suzuna?
**[02:30] Shogo**
You saw it. Everything about this world.
**[02:34] Ritsu**
Yeah. μ said she hadn't
created past that point.
**[02:39] Ritsu**
Which means...
**[02:40] Aria**
Yes, yes!
**[02:41] Aria**
As you've surmised,
this world was created by μ.
**[02:45] Aria**
I don't really remember how it started.
**[02:48] Aria**
Before I knew it, the two of us were
wandering the world of the internet.
***SIGN*** Don't wake me. Don't turn against me. Hate.
**[02:53] Aria**
That world was constantly overflowing
**[02:55] ---**
with the negative emotions of humanity.
***SIGN*** Close your eyes. Don't look at me. I'm pathetic. Fear.
**[02:59] Aria**
Everyone was expelling their
incredible suffering through song.
**[03:03] Aria**
It was so sad that it made our hearts ache.
**[03:09] Aria**
So we wanted everyone to be happy
***SIGN*** Fear. Don't stay with me. Get rid of your ideals. Screw your kindness.
**[03:12] ---**
and created a world where they
could forget all that pain.
***SIGN*** Don't wake me. Drown. Don't speak to me. Real me. Puppet. Isolation.
**[03:21] Aria**
That was how Mobius began.
**[03:23] Ritsu**
"Mobius"?
**[03:24] Shogo**
It's the name of this world.
**[03:26] Aria**
Many people suffering from
trauma in the real world
**[03:30] ---**
sought solace through μ's song.
**[03:33] Aria**
Then μ sealed all their
minds away here in Mobius.
**[03:39] Ritsu**
At some point, I started feeling slight
incongruities with this world.
**[03:43] Ritsu**
Then they started to become real, and one
day everything I saw was full of them.
**[03:47] Ritsu**
By repeating an ideal high school
life many times in this world,
**[03:52] ---**
we were suddenly able to realize it.
**[03:54] Shogo**
That's what the Musicians were after.
**[03:57] Ritsu**
"Musicians"?
**[03:58] Shogo**
They caused that incident
to sift out those like you
**[04:02] ---**
who started to sense incongruities.
**[04:04] Aria**
Mobius is founded on the energy
**[04:06] ---**
collected from the happy feelings
of those who listen to μ's songs.
**[04:10] Aria**
That's why it's problematic if
those like you grow in number.
**[04:15] Shogo**
So the Musicians are using Digiheads
to attack people like us.
**[04:20] Ritsu**
"Digiheads"?
**[04:23] Ritsu**
Those people with the masks?
**[04:25] Aria**
The Musicians use μ's
power to cause the dark,
**[04:28] ---**
insuppressible emotions within
their hearts to explode,
**[04:33] ---**
creating the Digiheads.
**[04:35] Shogo**
Those fanatical believers in μ
**[04:38] ---**
then target those like you
who have noticed the truth,
**[04:41] ---**
and they attempt to restore you
to the state of unawareness.
**[04:45] Ritsu**
You mean...
**[04:47] Shogo**
Brainwashing.
**[04:51] Ritsu**
My family and even my pet took on a
strange appearance. What was that?
**[04:56] Aria**
Those are just bits of data created by μ
to make this world as real as possible.
**[05:02] Aria**
Once someone notices, the same way you all have,
**[05:04] Aria**
that someone also realizes they aren't alive.
**[05:09] Ritsu**
So there are those who want
to protect this world.
**[05:12] Ritsu**
And to them, all of us are...
**[05:18] Shogo**
With the help of Aria,
**[05:21] ---**
I managed to activate this Catharsis Effect.
**[05:24] Ritsu**
Catharsis... A release of repressed emotions.
**[05:29] Aria**
A Catharsis Effect resembles the Digiheads'
power, but it's completely different.
**[05:33] Aria**
It's a weapon controlled by exposing
**[05:36] ---**
negative emotions hidden within oneself.
**[05:41] Ritsu**
Can I use that power, too?
**[05:44] Aria**
Huh?
**[05:45] Aria**
Hmm, you might not be ready yet.
**[05:50] Shogo**
As long as they continue to resort
to any means to protect Mobius,
**[05:54] ---**
I'll continue fighting them.
**[05:57] Shogo**
Because I want to escape from this world.
**[06:00] Aria**
Ritsu!
**[06:01] Aria**
Please! Help us save μ!
**[06:05] Aria**
μ's desire to make everyone happy is too strong.
**[06:09] Aria**
She believes they'll be much happier here
in Mobius than in their harsh daily lives.
**[06:14] Aria**
She genuinely believes that!
**[06:16] Aria**
The stronger μ's power grows,
**[06:19] ---**
the less I'll be able to do, and
the smaller my form will grow.
**[06:25] Aria**
My memory data is already fuzzy.
**[06:28] Aria**
I can't stop μ on my own.
**[06:31] Aria**
So please, Ritsu!
**[06:33] Aria**
Help us!
**[06:35] Ritsu**
How exactly?
**[06:38] Aria**
We'll figure that out together, okay?!
**[06:40] Ritsu**
Huh?! You mean you have no plan?!
**[06:43] Shogo**
We're not completely without ideas.
**[06:45] [Messenger] Screen**

**[06:51] [Messenger] Screen**
About my time at SweetP's Tea Party
I thought SweetP's Tea Party would be
dreamy-cute, but it was crazy grotesque.
What, what? Details!
**[06:53] Naruko**
Oh, the Crescent Moon Tea Party Report
is trending well, getting attention.
**[06:58] Mifue**
She really uploaded it.
**[06:59] Naruko**
Hmm, "Spirited Away? My Friend
Went Missing" is a flop.
**[07:07] Mifue**
Hey, is that tweet...
**[07:10] Naruko**
Ohh, it's a shocking fact, isn't it?
**[07:13] ---**
The fighter was more than just a fighter!
**[07:15] Naruko**
It would be a regrettable shame
not to upload this huge scoop!
**[07:19] Mifue**
I don't mean that.
**[07:21] Mifue**
I'm sure that...
**[07:24] Mifue**
It means they might help us.
**[07:29] Naruko**
Then, let's go!
**[07:30] Mifue**
Huh?
**[07:31] Naruko**
It sounds interesting, right?
**[07:42] Suzuna**

They looked like ones you'd like.
**[07:50] Suzuna**
Thanks.
**[08:03] Suzuna**
About what we were discussing earlier...
**[08:05] Suzuna**
I don't think Smeagol's life is that tragic.
**[08:09] Suzuna**
He manages to obtain the ring
he loved more than anything,
**[08:12] ---**
and he's happy when he loses his life.
**[08:16] Suzuna**
That's plenty, isn't it?
**[08:22] Akira**
How many people actually
understand their true desires?
**[08:27] Suzuna**
Smeagol was honest with himself.
**[08:32] Akira**
That's what you think?
**[08:33] Suzuna**
His whole life was about obtaining
and keeping his precious.
**[08:39] Akira**
That's so pitiful.
**[08:42] Akira**
I can't imagine his soul found salvation.
**[08:47] Suzuna**
But...
**[08:49] Suzuna**
That was why he had to rely on the ring.
**[08:52] Akira**
The ring was never going to save him.
**[08:55] Akira**
The only thing that would have freed him
from his incredible isolation was...
**[08:59] Suzuna**
Are you saying he chased after the ring
**[09:02] ---**
because he wanted Frodo and
Sam to pay attention to him?
**[09:05] Akira**
That's one interpretation.
**[09:07] Suzuna**
That's impossible.
**[09:09] Suzuna**
It was futile. There's no way
they would've joined him.
**[09:19] Akira**
Even so, people often
dream of the unachievable.
**[09:24] Aria**
H-Hey...
**[09:24] Mifue**
She's so small.
**[09:25] Naruko**
What a huge scoop!
**[09:27] Naruko**
Fairies are real!
**[09:28] Naruko**
I bet this'll get comments!
**[09:30] Mifue**
Naruko-sempai, this girl feels like
strawberry daifuku when I touch her.
**[09:34] Naruko**
Hmm, hmm, so fairies feel
like daifuku to the touch.
**[09:40] Aria**
Ahh, no!
**[09:41] Aria**
If you hold me any tighter, strawberries
will come out! Strawberries!
**[09:49] Ritsu**
What's this "Let's blow the horn on
this world full of static!" about?
**[09:55] Shogo**
I'm glad you deciphered this
difficult secret message.
**[09:57] Naruko**
No, no, no.
**[09:58] Naruko**
The visuals matched your own perfectly.
***SIGN*** Guns & Bouquets
**[10:01] Naruko**
And this isn't a secret message.
**[10:03] Naruko**
Plus the style's damn old.
**[10:05] Mifue**
This is the only place I could
think of that might have a horn.
**[10:10] Naruko**
And when you talk about music, you think DTM.
**[10:12] Aria**
Of course! You all loved μ's music
back in the real world, after all.
**[10:18] Mifue**
We all liked μ's music.
**[10:21] Mifue**
Then does that mean the Musicians are
fans of μ from the real world, too?
**[10:26] Aria**
Yes. Just like you,
**[10:29] ---**
they're people who carried deep darkness
within their hearts back in the real world.
**[10:35] Ritsu**
The real world?
**[10:37] Shogo**
What's wrong?
**[10:40] Kotaro**
Is the guy with a gun and flowers here?
**[10:42] Aria**
Another one's here.
**[10:43] Kotaro**
I can't reach my friend
who went to the library!
**[10:46] Kotaro**
Help me!
**[10:48] Shogo**
What's this all of a sudden?
Start from the beginning—
**[10:50] Naruko**
You talking about this?
***SIGN*** Probably just ran away from home.
She's probably just being ostracized.
Oh, thanks for the reply.
**[10:54] Kotaro**
Spirited Away in the Library?
**[10:56] Kotaro**
Th-This is bad!
***SIGN*** People who do not respect themselves will not be respected by others.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Girl**
Hey, hey, is that choir-club
girl alone again?
**[11:28] (Flashback) Girl**
They call that having a toilet lunch.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Girl**
So lonely!
***SIGN*** The Loreli
**[11:48] Akira**
What are you listening to?
**[11:50] Suzuna**
Oh...
**[11:53] ---**
Want to listen?
**[12:10] Akira**
This is nice.
**[12:12] Suzuna**
It's "The Lorelei."
**[12:14] Akira**
Heine's poems?
**[12:16] Suzuna**
Yes.
**[12:17] Akira**
Seducing me with song? How troublesome.
**[12:21] Suzuna**
"I know not if there is a reason,
why I am so sad at heart."
**[12:26] Suzuna**
Even though he knows it's dangerous,
**[12:28] ---**
the boatman cannot help but be
charmed by the singing voice.
**[12:32] Suzuna**
I didn't really understand back when
I would sing it in choir, but...
**[12:37] Akira**
I'd love to hear.
**[12:40] Akira**
I'm sure you have a wonderful singing voice.
**[12:43] Suzuna**
N-N-N-No way!
**[12:45] Akira**
Why not?
**[12:50] Suzuna**
Because...
**[12:52] Suzuna**
I can't sing out loud in front
of others right now.
**[12:56] Shogo**
So that girl's in here?
**[12:59] Kotaro**
She should be.
**[13:01] Kotaro**
Damn it. If only I hadn't
left Suzuna alone back then!
**[13:04] Aria**
Talking about those regrets
won't get you anywhere!
**[13:07] Aria**
How can you save your friend like that?!
**[13:10] Kotaro**
Shut up!
**[13:11] Kotaro**
Be quiet, virtuadoll!
**[13:13] Kotaro**
You're probably on μ's side anyway!
**[13:15] Aria**
What? I'm saying this
out of kindness for you!
**[13:18] Kotaro**
As if I'm going to believe
a pipsqueak like you!
**[13:20] Aria**
You might be big, but your heart sure isn't!
**[13:23] Aria**
You cowardly pipsqueak!
**[13:26] Kotaro**
I'm not a pipsqueak!
**[13:29] Ritsu**
His biases are strong, huh?
**[13:32] Ritsu**
His confirmation bias might
be stronger than most others.
**[13:34] Ritsu**
It gives him a tendency to be
hasty and charge in headfirst.
**[13:38] Kotaro**
Enough chitchat!
**[13:39] Kotaro**
Wait for me, Suzuna!
**[13:42] Shogo**
The "charging in headfirst" seems accurate.
**[13:45] Akira**
I think Lorelei and Smeagol
have things in common.
**[13:49] Akira**
In growing too accustomed to isolation,
**[13:51] ---**
they forget how to interact with others.
**[13:54] Suzuna**
But sometimes it's just easier that way.
**[14:01] Kotaro**
Damn it!
**[14:02] Kotaro**
She's not picking up!
**[14:03] Aria**
Maybe she's just annoyed with
you for being such a nuisance.
**[14:07] Kotaro**
Huh?!
**[14:08] Kotaro**
What the hell did you say?!
**[14:10] Ritsu**
There's a chance she's not picking up
her phone because she's in a library.
**[14:13] Ritsu**
Let's start by calming down.
**[14:14] Kotaro**
Suzuna!
**[14:15] Kotaro**
Suzuna, where are you?!
**[14:16] Shogo**
He's honest to his desires, at least.
**[14:19] Aria**
That's about all there is to him.
**[14:19] Kotaro**
Suzuna?!
**[14:21] Kotaro**
Suzuna!
***SIGN*** Good-bye to Moscow Hoodlums
**[14:24] Akira**
It's true that isolation can feel comforting.
**[14:27] Akira**
You can get lost in your own world
without facing harm from others.
**[14:32] Suzuna**
That means living a life
befitting oneself, right?
**[14:37] Kotaro**
Answer me! Suzuna!
**[14:39] Aria**
Be quiet in the library!
**[14:41] Kotaro**
Like I care!
**[14:43] Ritsu**
He's causing such a commotion,
yet it's as though...
**[14:48] Suzuna**
Otherwise you desire more
than what's fitting.
**[14:51] Suzuna**
Dreaming is just pointless by itself.
**[14:53] Suzuna**
It only gets you hurt even worse.
**[14:55] Akira**
But what if you find someone
who understands you?
**[14:59] Kotaro**
No!
**[15:01] Kotaro**
No!
**[15:02] Kotaro**
Suzuna!
**[15:04] Akira**
Suzuna.
**[15:06] Akira**
You understand it, too, don't you?
**[15:08] Kotaro**
No!
**[15:09] Kotaro**
Where are you, Suzuna?!
**[15:16] Kotaro**
I'll...
**[15:18] Kotaro**
I'll save you!
**[15:22] Kotaro**
Everyone, lend me your help!
**[15:27] Aria**
You...
**[15:29] Aria**
Oh, well.
**[15:31] Aria**
Now, let's go!
**[15:33] Kotaro**
Y-Yeah!
**[15:34] Shogo**
How much have you searched?
**[15:36] Kotaro**
I went around all the rooms on the
second floor. Not the third...
**[15:41] Akira**
Smeagol and Lorelei shared
those same feelings.
**[15:46] Akira**
I can understand those feelings, too.
**[15:48] Akira**
I'm sure you're able to as well, Suzuna.
**[15:53] Suzuna**
I wanted them to pay attention to me.
**[15:58] Akira**
Who?
**[16:02] Akira**
Tell me, Suzuna.
**[16:05] Kotaro**
Suzuna!
**[16:08] Kotaro**
I finally found you!
**[16:10] Suzuna**
Sempai?
**[16:12] Suzuna**
What are you doing here?
**[16:14] Suzuna**
Oh, Komori-kun, umm, this is Kotaro-sempai.
**[16:19] Suzuna**
That's right. He's my upperclassman
at Kishimai High School.
**[16:23] Suzuna**
Yes, I know.
**[16:26] Suzuna**
Please hold on a moment. I'll be quick.
**[16:28] Kotaro**
Hey.
**[16:30] Kotaro**
What are you talking to?
**[16:32] Suzuna**
Huh?
**[16:34] Suzuna**
What am I...
**[16:46] Ritsu**
A doll?
**[16:47] Ritsu**
This one, too?
**[16:48] Ritsu**
This one as well?!
**[16:50] Ritsu**
All the dolls here are those
who were spirited away.
**[16:56] Ritsu**
Is that Minezawa from my class?
**[17:02] Suzuna**
No way. It can't be.
**[17:06] Suzuna**
Komori-kun?
**[17:08] Shogo**
We still don't know what's here.
**[17:09] Kotaro**
Suzuna, we're leaving.
**[17:11] Suzuna**
Why? How is this happening?
**[17:13] Kotaro**
Come on, can you walk?
**[17:14] Suzuna**
Komori-kun, we...
**[17:16] Kotaro**
Oh, well.
**[17:20] Kotaro**
What? You!
**[17:32] Ritsu**
That's...
**[17:33] Ritsu**
A Musician?
**[17:35] Kotaro**
I knew it!
**[17:36] Kotaro**
Even you would betray me, too?
**[17:43] Doll**
Kagura Suzuna!
**[17:44] Song**
*Don't speak to me.*
**[17:47] Doll**
I understand!
**[17:47] Song**
*I sealed my mouth shut.*
**[17:48] Doll**
That being alone can mean happiness.
**[17:50] Song**
*Don't smile at me.*
**[17:51] Doll**
Yet still, I...
**[17:53] Shogo**
Even his real body is a doll?
**[17:53] Song**
*I've hidden my face.*
**[17:55] Aria**
I can't believe he purposefully
chose that body in Mobius.
**[17:58] Suzuna**
Komori-kun, listen, I...
**[17:59] Song**
*Let's perform a song of salvation, shall we?*
**[18:01] Kotaro**
Idiot! He's dangerous, Suzuna!
**[18:03] Doll**
You normies...
**[18:05] Song**
* It's the perfect song*
* for the blind like you.*
**[18:06] Doll**
You couldn't even make it this
far without forming a pack.
**[18:09] Doll**
I won't forgive you!
**[18:10] Song**
*The phrase is constantly repeating,*
**[18:10] Song**
I won't forgive you!
**[18:11] Song**
I'll never forgive you!
**[18:13] ---**
Look out!
**[18:16] Song**
*as if it's trying to make you stop thinking.*
**[18:20] Doll**
Trash like you who form huge groups and
gang up on others will face my punishment.
**[18:21] Song**
* I'm buried in isolation,*
* protecting this world.*
**[18:26] Doll**
I'll turn you into a doll so you
can never disgrace me again!
**[18:27] Song**
* I won't let anyone touch*
* this precious place.*
**[18:30] Aria**
Kotaro!
**[18:33] Ritsu**
Are you that afraid of being hurt?
**[18:33] Song**
*Don't look! Don't look at me!*
**[18:38] Ritsu**
You've taken that form and isolated
yourself here in the library,
**[18:38] Song**
* I'm not here. I'm not here.*
* Don't look me in the eye!*
**[18:42] ---**
because you're afraid of
interacting with others, right?
**[18:45] Ritsu**
But you couldn't beat the loneliness.
**[18:47] Ritsu**
So you turned everyone into
dolls to keep by your side,
**[18:51] ---**
and approached that girl as a doll.
**[18:54] Song**
*I don't need your kindness.*
**[18:54] Ritsu**
To avoid wounding your own heart.
**[18:57] Song**
*It'll just make me more pathetic.*
**[18:58] Doll**
Be quiet!
**[18:59] Song**
*There is no justice—*
**[19:00] Suzuna**
Hold on!
**[19:03] Doll**
What...
**[19:05] Doll**
What are you doing?
**[19:11] Song**
*I know not if there is a reason,*
**[19:18] Song**
*why I am so sad at heart.*
**[19:25] Song**
*A legend of bygone ages*
**[19:33] Song**
*haunts me and will not depart.*
**[19:40] Song**
*The air is cool under nightfall.*
**[19:41] Suzuna**
You were always alone.
**[19:47] Song**
*The calm Rhine courses its way.*
**[19:48] Suzuna**
Even in this world, that didn't change.
**[19:52] Suzuna**
So you gave up.
**[19:54] Song**
*The peak of the mountain is sparkling*
**[19:55] Suzuna**
But...
**[19:58] ---**
You also told me, Komori-kun,
**[20:00] Suzuna**
that Smeagol wanted Frodo and
Sam to pay attention to him.
**[20:02] Song**
*With evening's final ray.*
**[20:05] Suzuna**
I understand.
**[20:08] Suzuna**
We're very similar, so I
understand it painfully well.
**[20:12] Suzuna**
You were always hurting.
**[20:15] Suzuna**
You wanted to escape your isolation.
**[20:17] Suzuna**
You wanted someone to pay attention to you!
**[20:19] Suzuna**
Anyone!
**[20:20] Suzuna**
And I want to get to know
you better, Komori-kun!
**[20:26] Suzuna**
So...
**[20:28] Suzuna**
So, will you eat lunch together with me?
**[20:40] Akira**
You can sing out loud after all.
**[20:44] Kotaro**
Huh?
**[20:57] Suzuna**
Komori-kun...
**[20:59] Doll**
My name is Shounen Doll.
**[21:03] Doll**
The one who will guide you
all down the right path.
**[21:13] Suzuna**
I'm sorry for making you worry.
**[21:17] Kotaro**
It's fine. I'm glad you're safe.
**[21:19] Aria**
Welcome, Suzuna. We're glad to have you!
**[21:22] Suzuna**
I'm glad to be with you.
**[21:24] Aria**
Now, now, relax.
**[21:26] Aria**
If there's anything you don't
understand, just ask, okay?
**[21:34] μ**
Hmm?
**[21:35] μ**
Why do they all dislike this world?
**[21:39] Mirei**
Perhaps it's lacking in charm.
**[21:42] Mirei**
I'll teach you.
**[21:45] Mirei**
I'll show you who the most noble
and charming one in this world is!

**[00:49] Aria**
It's doing pretty well!
**[00:52] Kotaro**
Hey, what do you want to see?
**[00:54] Kotaro**
Want something to drink?
**[00:55] Marie**
Shikishima-kun!
**[00:59] Marie**
Did I keep you waiting?
**[01:01] Ritsu**
Not at all.
**[01:02] Kotaro**
Hey, let's hurry up and ride something.
**[01:04] Kotaro**
Come on, Ritsu.
**[02:41] Kotono**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[02:43] Man**
Well, you inviting me out
here just feels like a dream.
**[02:49] Man**
K-Kotono-san, what kind
of person is your type?
**[02:53] Kotono**
Type?
**[02:54] Man**
Like the manly type,
intelligent type, or domestic type...
**[03:03] Man**
Kotono-san?
**[03:05] Man**
A headache?
**[03:07] Kotono**
No, I'm okay.
**[03:10] Kotono**
Let's enjoy today.
**[03:12] Aria**
Go live!
**[03:28] Aria**
You okay?
**[03:30] Aria**
Did you wet yourself a little?
**[03:31] Kotaro**
Little?! You!
**[03:34] Marie**
Guess this guy's no good.
**[03:36] Ritsu**
Sorry. I tried asking around, but...
**[03:40] (Flashback) Mifue**
Sea Paraiso's opening party?
**[03:43] (Flashback) Mifue**
Sorry, I have plans today.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Shogo**
Sorry. Pass.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Suzuna**
Something like that's a bit much...
**[03:52] Marie**
I'm still glad you're
enjoying it, Shikishima-kun.
**[03:58] Man**
Kotono-san, where should we sit?
**[04:02] Man**
Shall we head over there?
**[04:04] Aria**
You okay, pukey?
**[04:13] Man**
Kotono-san?
**[04:21] Man**
Kotono-san, why don't
we have some tea?
**[04:24] Kotono**
Oh, sure.
**[04:26] Aria**
Ritsu! I think that girl just now saw me!
**[04:30] Ritsu**
But...
**[04:31] Marie**
Look, Shikishima-kun, there's
an event of some kind starting.
**[04:36] Ritsu**
Normal people can't see you, right?
**[04:39] Aria**
It's possible that girl's...
**[04:41] Toshizo**
*I'm Toshizo, and I'll be your guide today.*
**[04:44] Toshizo**
*Are you all having fun so far?*
**[04:48] Toshizo**
*Right now we have an intermediary report.*
**[04:50] Toshizo**
* Our number of established couples*
* has already surpassed 30.*
**[04:54] Ritsu**
"Established couples"?
**[04:56] Toshizo**
* Now then, please continue to enjoy*
* Sea Paraiso's renewal commemoration party,*
**[05:00] ---**
*"Confess And Be Lovey-Dovey Together"!*
**[05:11] Suzuna**
They're not coming back, huh?

**[05:20] Suzuna**
I'm not interested in that,
**[05:23] ---**
but I suppose most men
enjoy things like that?
**[05:32] Kotaro**
Confess and
**[05:33] Aria**
Be Lovey-Dovey Together?!
**[05:40] Ritsu**
In other words, this event is
like a mixer or a spouse-hunt?
**[05:45] Kotaro**
What, that's it?
**[05:47] Kotaro**
Well, that's not something
I'm really interested in.
**[05:52] Kotaro**
Huh?
**[05:54] Aria**
Right there!
**[05:55] Aria**
Don't look at them with such longing eyes.
**[05:57] Kotaro**
I'm not longing for it!
**[05:59] Kotaro**
I've already graduated from love!
**[06:01] Ritsu**
You think?
**[06:02] Ritsu**
I'm actually jealous
**[06:05] ---**
that they can enjoy it without
worrying about other annoyances.
**[06:09] Marie**
Shikishima-kun, let's enjoy it, too!
**[06:17] Aria**
Ritsu?
**[06:20] Man**
Mirei-sama, the steps are steep,
so please watch your step.
**[06:36] Man**
Ah! There's a puddle of
water at Mirei-sama's feet!
**[06:41] Man**
Your clothes will get dirty!
**[06:42] Man**
Please walk on top of me, Mirei-sama!
**[06:44] Man**
Know your place! As if Mirei-sama
would walk on your filthy back!
**[06:50] Man**
Right, Mirei-sama?
**[06:52] Mirei**
True, your backs are lower than street filth.
**[06:56] Mirei**
But I'm in a good mood
today, so I'll reward you
**[07:02] ---**
to-da-y.
**[07:07] Man**
Thank you for this happiness!
**[07:08] Man**
Thank you for this happiness!
**[07:13] Man**
Why isn't he getting angry?
**[07:15] Ritsu**
Well, guys have a whole
lot of different tastes.
**[07:18] Kotaro**
Tastes?
**[07:20] Ritsu**
Some men turn the pain of being
stepped on into great pleasure.
**[07:25] Kotaro**
Seriously?
**[07:27] Kotaro**
You know a lot about that, Ritsu.
**[07:35] Kotono**
Have you decided?
**[07:40] Kotono**
Are you all right?
**[07:41] Man**
No, Kotono-san! You'll soil your handkerchief!
**[07:47] Man**
I spilled my water!
**[07:49] Man**
Oh, no! Not here!
**[07:50] Man**
I spilled coffee!
**[07:51] Man**
I need to do something about this fast!
**[07:56] Man**
There's a pebble!
**[07:58] Man**
Crumbs!
**[07:59] Man**
Dirt!
**[08:06] Kotono**
Men are all idiots.
**[08:10] Kotono**
*Men are all...*
**[08:11] Kotono**
*Men are all...*
**[08:13] Kotono**
*Men are all...*
**[08:30] Kotono**
I knew it. I just saw something.
**[08:33] Aria**
Ritsu! That girl from
before looked at me again!
**[08:36] Aria**
I think she might be starting to notice!
**[08:39] Aria**
You hurry over to her and
bring her into our group!
**[08:42] Kotaro**
Hey, where are you going?
**[08:46] Musician**
Hey, how long are you planning
**[08:50] ---**
to let the Rogues do as they please?
**[08:53] Thorn**
I've prepared measures for them.
**[08:56] Thorn**
That's part of why I gathered you all together.
**[09:00] Musician**
Sounds like it's time to
show off my genocidal charm!
**[09:04] Kensuke**
What could they want to
do after escaping Mobius?
**[09:09] Musician**
Did you say something?
**[09:11] Kensuke**
No, nothing at all.
**[09:23] Ritsu**
Do you mind if we talk for a bit?
**[09:27] Ritsu**
I can tell.
**[09:28] Ritsu**
You've noticed, haven't you?
**[09:31] Ritsu**
The truth about this world?
**[09:34] Kotono**
So you're the same.
**[09:36] Ritsu**
So, you have noticed—
**[09:37] Kotono**
However, while I appreciate the invitation,
**[09:41] ---**
that one was a bit too pointed.
**[09:45] Aria**
But I know we saw each other earlier?
**[09:48] Kotono**
That sounds like a pick-up line you
spent a lot of time thinking over.
**[09:52] Kotono**
I don't mind it, but...
**[09:54] Man**
What's your problem?!
**[09:55] Man**
Why are you butting in
to talk to Kotono-san?!
**[09:58] Ritsu**
I'm not! I'm trying to have an
important discussion with her!
**[10:02] Man**
I have something important to discuss, too!
**[10:03] Man**
Do you have a ticket?
**[10:04] Man**
Wait your turn!
**[10:06] Ritsu**
You're misunderstanding!
**[10:07] Ritsu**
You're showing signs of awakening
from this false world!
**[10:10] Ritsu**
So I was going to help you!
**[10:14] Kotono**
That sounds like a middle
schooler's pick-up line.
**[10:18] Ritsu**
M-Middle schooler?
**[10:22] Man**
Here, another cup of juice.
**[10:24] Aria**
What's wrong? You look like
you took a lot of damage?
**[10:28] Aria**
That's a glass someone else drank out of.
**[10:31] Woman**
Excuse me.
**[10:33] ---**
If you don't mind, could we
talk over there for a bit?
**[10:37] Kotaro**
Jeez, how long is Ritsu
going to keep us waiting?
**[10:42] Marie**
What's that?
**[10:43] Kotaro**
What's what?
**[10:45] Marie**
People have been going
in there for a while now.
**[10:48] Kotaro**
Maybe there's something inside?
**[11:06] Kotaro**
S-Something's happening inside?
**[11:22] Kotaro**
Hey!
**[11:23] Kotaro**
Whoa!
**[11:23] Suzuna**
I'm sorry!
**[11:25] Kotaro**
You can't look!
**[11:25] Kotaro**
You can't look!
**[11:26] Kotaro**
You can't look!

**[11:44] Naruko**
I've finally found her location after
gathering information through the gossiper,
**[11:49] Naruko**
but are you really sure?
**[11:51] Mifue**
Yeah.
**[11:53] Mifue**
I've decided on this after
mulling it over a long time.
**[11:56] Naruko**
I see.
**[11:58] Naruko**
Then, let's go.
**[12:02] Mifue**
Take me
**[12:04] Mifue**
to my mother.
**[12:11] Mirei**
How's it coming?
**[12:13] Toshizo**
Yes, young lady.
**[12:14] Toshizo**
At present, approximately 50 subjects are
undergoing brainwashing reinforcement.
**[12:20] Mirei**
Welcome back to the dream.
**[12:23] Toshizo**
Those girls are truly performing well.
**[12:27] Mirei**
Just as we planned, then.
**[12:29] Mirei**
But those people in question are merely
enjoying love of their own free will.
**[12:34] Toshizo**
Their brainwashing becomes even stronger
**[12:37] ---**
as we fulfill their unfulfilled
desires for romance.
**[12:42] Mirei**
Huh?
**[12:44] Toshizo**
That's one of our brainwashing
agents, Kashiwaba Kotono.
**[12:47] Toshizo**
Oh, she's providing a remarkable performance.
**[12:50] Toshizo**
Her talent may even lead
her to outperform you.
**[12:54] Toshizo**
Oops, I said too much.
**[12:59] Mirei**
Who is that woman?!
**[13:01] Mirei**
Toshizo, bring that girl here.
**[13:04] Toshizo**
At once.
**[13:05] Mirei**
This kingdom does not need two queens.
**[13:11] Ritsu**
The reason many claim they've caught colds
and skip studying the day before a test
**[13:15] ---**
is a behavior called self-handicapping.
**[13:18] Aria**
Hey, Ritsu, what are you doing?!
**[13:20] Ritsu**
It's a type of defense mechanism
born from their self-serving bias.
**[13:24] Aria**
Also, how can you go on about
such boring topics with women?
**[13:28] Girls**
That's so interesting!
**[13:30] Aria**
Huh?
**[13:32] Aria**
Hurry!
**[13:34] Aria**
We have to go back to that girl!
**[13:37] Ritsu**
Forget about your painful reality,
and enjoy free romance.
**[13:41] Aria**
Huh?
**[13:42] Ritsu**
This might not be so bad.
**[13:45] Aria**
Hey, Ritsu...
**[13:47] Aria**
Are you having second thoughts about this?
**[13:50] Aria**
About returning to your original world?
**[13:52] Aria**
Do you want to forget about
the real world and stay here?
**[13:57] Kotaro**
Hey! We've got trouble!
**[13:59] Aria**
What's wrong, cowardly pipsqueak?
**[14:01] Kotaro**
I saw it!
**[14:02] Kotaro**
People were wearing this crazy thing
on their head and going, "Aaah!"
**[14:07] Aria**
We can't make any sense of that!
**[14:10] Toshizo**
* As your guide, Toshizo, I have*
* an announcement for you all.*
**[14:14] Toshizo**
* It is now time for the commencement*
* of today's main event.*
**[14:18] Ritsu**
Main event?
**[14:23] Kotaro**
Hey, isn't that the scary woman from earlier?
**[14:28] Aria**
That's the girl who looked at me earlier!
**[14:30] Aria**
Look, Ritsu!
**[14:33] Mirei**
Kashiwaba Kotono.
**[14:34] Mirei**
It seems you've gotten
a little carried away.
**[14:38] Kotono**
What's the matter here, old lady?
**[14:39] Mirei**
O-Old—?!
**[14:40] Mirei**
Where do you even get "old lady"?!
**[14:43] Kotono**
Oh, I'm sorry. Your makeup
was done so well, I just...
**[14:46] Mirei**
Are you saying I'm wearing heavy makeup?!
**[14:49] Toshizo**
The great application of makeup and
the enhancement of your features
**[14:51] ---**
through makeup is only possible
due to your beauty, young lady.
**[14:54] Mirei**
Of course!
**[14:56] Mirei**
Looks like you need brainwashing
reinforcement, too.
**[15:00] Kotaro**
"Brainwashing reinforcement"?
**[15:02] Ritsu**
They're re-brainwashing those
on the verge of awakening.
**[15:05] Ritsu**
That must be what you saw, Kotaro.
**[15:07] Aria**
Meaning this whole event is
a trap set by the Musicians?!
**[15:10] Mirei**
Prepare yourself, Kashiwaba Kotono-san.
**[15:14] Toshizo**
Now for the start of our special event,
**[15:16] ---**
the "Which is the Good,
Sexy Woman" competition!
**[15:20] Aria**
"Which is the Good,
**[15:22] Kotaro**
Sexy Woman"?!
**[15:24] Mirei**
Let's have these men judge
**[15:28] ---**
which of us is the superior woman!
**[15:35] Toshizo**
First up is entry #1, young lady Mirei!
**[15:42] Toshizo**
Bust: 90, waist: 58, hips: 91!
**[15:46] Toshizo**
Her hobby is caring for pets,
**[15:47] Toshizo**
and her favorite type of man is one who's healthy,
**[15:50] ---**
loyal, and submissive, and who
enjoys physical and emotional pain.
**[15:54] Mirei**
This time I'll grant all the
pigs who vote for me
**[16:00] Mirei**
heartfelt abuse and disparagement.
**[16:01] Song**
*I have no interest in the meaning of life.*
**[16:03] Mirei**
In addition, I'll grant you a lifetime of
repeated enslavement and subordination!
***SIGN*** Hate, Regret, Abuse, Berating, Repentance
**[16:07] Song**
*The value of life alone fills me.*
**[16:12] Toshizo**
Take a look at the score!
**[16:14] Song**
*I'm sick of this stupid reality.*
**[16:15] Kotaro**
She's incredibly popular!
**[16:16] Aria**
This hall has too many masochists.
**[16:19] Mirei**
My, what's the matter?
**[16:20] Song**
* The mirror reflects only*
* the surface of this world.*
**[16:21] Mirei**
If you're so afraid of
exposing the poor figure
**[16:24] ---**
hidden under your uniform
that you want to run,
**[16:27] ---**
then you can just say so.
**[16:27] Song**
*I'll erase the nonsense for you.*
**[16:29] Kotono**
I don't know why I have
to play along with this,
**[16:32] Song**
*So hey, why don't you cast aside ideals?*
**[16:33] Kotono**
but forcing a woman brimming with
confidence to cave in sounds like fun.
**[16:38] Song**
*I won't let anyone interfere*
**[16:38] Toshizo**
Next up is entry #2, Kashiwaba Kotono!
**[16:42] Song**
*Until I've obtained everything.*
**[16:43] Toshizo**
Bust: 84, waist: 58, hips: 89.
**[16:45] Song**
*"Love me."*
**[16:47] Kotono**
Thank you all very much
for gathering here today!
**[16:48] Song**
*That's the destiny of this world.*
**[16:51] Kotono**
I dedicate this trophy to the friends
who've always supported me,
**[16:55] ---**
the fans who cheered me on, and most of all,
**[16:59] ---**
my very own unparalleled beauty and luck!
**[17:03] Kotono**
I'm truly grateful for this honor!
**[17:06] Mirei**
Hey! What are you suddenly
giving a victory speech for?!
**[17:10] Kotono**
I'm sorry. I just assumed
my victory was only natural.
**[17:16] Kotono**
I thought I'd score a bit higher.
**[17:19] Aria**
What is this competition?
**[17:23] Toshizo**
Now, this heated battle has lasted thus far.
**[17:28] Toshizo**
Neither competitor has yielded an inch,
and their scores are tied!
**[17:31] Toshizo**
The victor shall be determined by today's
special guest, Shikishima Ritsu-sama!
**[17:38] Ritsu**
Hold on! Why am I here?!
**[17:40] Mirei**
Naturally, you'll choose me, right?
**[17:43] Kotono**
I'm not so sure. He was
hitting on me earlier.
**[17:46] Ritsu**
That was a misunderstanding!
**[17:48] Kotaro**
Whom will you choose, Ritsu?!
**[17:50] Toshizo**
Now, Ritsu-sama, your decision!
**[17:54] Ritsu**
I refuse!
**[17:55] Ritsu**
I don't plan on playing
along with this farce!
**[17:58] Kotono**
You can't even make up your mind about this?
**[18:00] Ritsu**
How long are you planning to
play along with this yourself?
**[18:04] Ritsu**
You've started to notice, right?
**[18:06] Ritsu**
That this isn't your real self!
**[18:09] Kotono**
Spineless men like you are the ones I—
**[18:12] Kotaro**
Hey, did her personality just shift?
**[18:16] Kotono**
You're a man, aren't you?
**[18:18] Kotono**
Make a decision!
**[18:36] Kotono**
I'm sorry.
**[18:44] Kotono**
I'm sorry.
**[18:46] Kotono**
I'm sorry.
**[18:49] Kotono**
Tak-kun...
**[18:51] ---**
She's remembered!
**[19:00] Kotono**
I won't let go of you ever again!
**[19:08] Men**
Oh! Kotono-san, you're the best!
**[19:13] Toshizo**
This match is now settled!
**[19:15] Toshizo**
The winner of this competition
is Kashiwaba Kotono-sama!
**[19:18] Mirei**
Hey, what's going on here?!
**[19:21] Toshizo**
By my guess, many of the men were moved
**[19:24] ---**
by Kotono-sama's motherly
display in the competition.
**[19:27] Mirei**
Why is my score zero when
you have a vote, too?!
**[19:30] Toshizo**
Since you were born the
heiress to a wealthy family,
**[19:34] ---**
I, Toshizo, elected to cast my vote for
Kotono-sama, because losing everything
**[19:38] ---**
would further hone your beauty, Mirei-sama.
**[19:42] Mirei**
Silence!
**[19:44] Toshizo**
I'm extremely and humbly delighted!
**[19:45] Mirei**
You men are all idiots, every one!
**[19:49] Kotono**
That's right. They're all idiots.
**[19:52] Kotono**
Even so, there are some men you can't leave.
**[19:57] Mirei**
Huh? You mean this man called Tak-kun?
**[20:00] Mirei**
Even if you return to the
real world where he waits,
**[20:03] ---**
the only thing waiting for you is despair.
**[20:06] Mirei**
What a stupid woman!
**[20:08] Kotono**
Even if a darkness full of nothing
but despair is all that awaits me...
**[20:14] Kotono**
Even if it's a hell where I can't
escape this pain tearing me apart...
**[20:21] Kotono**
Even if that place is Hell itself,
**[20:26] Kotono**
I...
**[20:28] Kotono**
I want to return to reality!
**[20:34] Aria**
Kotono!
**[20:35] Aria**
Let out the cry from your heart!
**[20:38] Kotono**
I want to return to reality and see Tak-kun!
**[20:41] Both**
Go live!
**[21:01] Ritsu**
Catharsis effect?!
**[21:03] Kotaro**
Wow!
**[21:07] Mirei**
Well, isn't this interesting.
**[21:09] Song**
*So, since you're here,*
**[21:13] Song**
*I want you to play your harmony for me.*
**[21:19] Mifue**
I'm sorry, Mother.
**[21:21] Song**
*It's like a brilliant ocean,*
**[21:24] Song**
*the spilling colors melting away.*
**[21:25] Girls**
Huh?
**[21:32] Song**
*Close your eyes. Close your eyes.*
**[21:35] Song**
*It's all right now.*
**[21:50] Ritsu**
What is happening here?!
***SIGN*** Do you know why humans have their eyes in front?
***SIGN*** Looking forward doesn't equal progress on its own. Understanding one's situation is also an important step.
***SIGN*** So they can live life looking forward!
***SIGN*** Are you sure about that?
***SIGN*** Ah, it's the guy spouting aphorisms!
***SIGN*** Looking forward doesn't equal progress on its own.
**[23:34] ---**
Understanding one's situation
is also an important step.
***SIGN*** By the way, the right joystick controls the camera so you can view
***SIGN*** Huh? A tutorial? This late?
**[23:39] ---**
and understand your situation.

**[00:02] Thorn**
Now, show them the way.
**[00:05] Thorn**
With your song.
**[00:07] μ**
Yeah, I will.
**[00:11] μ**
Oh, but Thorn, promise me one thing.
**[00:15] μ**
Promise that you won't do anything mean.
**[00:19] Thorn**
Yes, of course.
**[00:37] μ**
*My heartbeat resonates through the sky,*
**[00:42] μ**
*through endless, repeating days,*
**[00:48] μ**
*as I carry my hidden wounds.*
**[00:59] μ**
*The only freedom I'm allowed*
**[01:05] Izuru**
It's no good here anymore. Let's go.
**[01:08] Izuru**
What are you doing?!
**[01:10] Song**
*is wandering.*
**[01:11] Izuru**
Let's go!
**[01:13] Suzuna**
Y-Yes!
**[01:14] IkeP**
Destiny!
**[01:15] Song**
*So since you're here,*
**[01:15] IkeP**
Meeting you here truly is
a cruel stroke of destiny!
**[01:19] Song**
*I want you to play your harmony for me.*
**[01:20] IkeP**
Right, Minezawa?
**[01:23] Izuru**
Who are you?
**[01:26] Song**
*It's like a brilliant ocean,*
**[01:28] Suzuna**
What's this?
**[01:30] Naruko**
What is this?!
**[01:30] Song**
*the spilling colors melting away.*
**[01:35] Mifue**
Mother...
**[01:36] Mother**
I'm glad to see you today, Mifu.
**[01:38] Song**
*Close your eyes, close your eyes.*
**[01:41] Song**
*It's all right now.*
**[01:41] Mother**
I'm glad to see you today, Mifu.
**[01:45] Naruko**
This seems kind of bad! Let's go!
**[01:45] Mother**
I'm glad to see you today, Mifu.
**[01:53] Mifue**
Later, Mom.
**[01:56] Mother**
Good... bye.
**[01:56] Song**
*Everyone shines*
**[01:58] Mother**
Good... bye...
**[02:01] Song**
*in this sinful, eternal other world.*
**[02:03] Naruko**
Let's go!
**[02:06] Mifue**
Mom! I'm sorry!
**[02:07] Song**
*It has its own gentle past,*
**[02:18] Song**
*and wanton, distorted equality is absent.*
**[02:34] Song**
*I'll fulfill you,*
**[02:38] Song**
*with a powerful gesh,*
**[02:41] KagiP**
Good afternoon, Sempai.
**[02:43] Song**
*So let's go to your brainwashing.*
**[02:45] Song**
*Even if you sometimes come to notice,*
**[02:46] Mirei**
Prepare yourself, little girl!
**[02:49] Song**
*I'll blur—*
**[04:24] Aria**
Kotono!
**[04:28] Merei**
You're full of yourself!
**[04:51] Toshizo**
Young Lady, you'll tarnish the family name
**[04:54] ---**
if you behave so improperly.
**[04:56] Mirei**
Toshizo, be quiet.
**[04:58] Toshizo**
Understood.
**[05:01] Mirei**
You wouldn't have anything to fear if
you just kept swimming in your aquarium.
**[05:06] Kotono**
Can being trapped in this small
world really be called happiness?
**[05:13] Kotono**
Those fish, that coral. They're all fake.
**[05:17] Kotono**
Real fish want to swim in the real ocean.
**[05:22] Mirei**
Can you still say that when the ocean
is filthy and filled with sludge?
**[05:27] Mirei**
What's wrong with living
in this beautiful world
**[05:30] ---**
created by μ to be free of pain and suffering?
**[05:34] Mirei**
Why can't you understand that?
**[05:37] Mirei**
You're an idiot, aren't you?
**[05:43] Mifue**
Hey, what do we do?
**[05:46] Naruko**
He's not picking up
**[05:48] Naruko**
Shogo-sempai's the only one
**[05:49] ---**
who can fight the Musicians,
and he's not here!
**[05:52] SweetP**
My, my, how terrible.
**[05:56] SweetP**
It's been a while.
**[05:59] Naruko**
You've shown yourself again, Nijouin!
**[06:01] SweetP**
Stop it! Stop calling me by that name!
**[06:05] SweetP**
No, no, no! Don't call me that!
**[06:07] Naruko**
You can act like a cute girl,
but you're really Nijouin!
**[06:10] SweetP**
I told you not to call me by that name!
**[06:12] Naruko**
Crap, he's pissed!
**[06:14] Mifue**
Huh?!
**[06:15] SweetP**
I'll shut that irritating mouth of yours!
**[06:21] Mifue**
Hey, hold on!
**[06:23] Naruko**
I'd love to wait, but I can't!
**[06:27] SweetP**
Shall I upload this disgraceful
display to the gossiper?
**[06:31] SweetP**
You want to increase your hits, right?
**[06:35] Mifue**
What's wrong?!
**[06:36] SweetP**
So, were you able to apologize?
**[06:41] SweetP**
To your first mother in this world?
**[06:45] SweetP**
Did you explain it to her?
**[06:47] SweetP**
Did you tell her why you hate fat people?
**[06:50] Mifue**
My mother and I...
**[06:52] SweetP**
You apologized, right?
**[06:54] SweetP**
What an idiot!
**[06:56] Kotono**
Be quiet!
**[06:58] Mirei**
This world is wonderful.
**[07:00] Mirei**
You can have anything here.
**[07:02] Mirei**
So just relax and let
yourself be brainwashed.
**[07:05] Kotono**
No matter how many times you brainwash me,
I'll still realize the truth!
**[07:08] Kotono**
I guarantee it!
**[07:13] Mirei**
Those who can't listen will become fish food.
**[07:17] Toshizo**
Young lady, that's going too far.
**[07:20] Mirei**
Silence!
**[07:21] Toshizo**
Understood.
**[07:22] Kotono**
I won't let someone like you interfere!
**[07:32] Kotaro**
Aria, we have to do something!
**[07:34] Kotaro**
Give me a weapon, too!
**[07:36] Aria**
Hmm, it's not that simple, though.
**[07:39] Aria**
It's still impossible for you, Kotaro.
**[07:41] Kotaro**
Damn it! You mean I can't do anything?!
**[07:50] Ritsu**
Kotaro, let's run.
**[07:51] Kotaro**
Huh? But I...
**[07:54] Ritsu**
We have to run for now!
**[07:56] KagiP**
I won't let you escape!
**[08:06] KagiP**
Are you all right, Sempai?
**[08:09] KagiP**
You're not together with all
your little friends today.
**[08:14] Shogo**
"Friends," huh? What a cheap word.
**[08:19] Shogo**
You all enjoy playing house
in this walled garden?
**[08:23] Shogo**
Play it your whole life! By yourselves!
**[08:26] KagiP**
So mean.
**[08:28] KagiP**
I think I might be a little ticked off.
**[08:36] μ**
H-Hey, Thorn, they all seem to be in pain.
**[08:40] ---**
Are you sure they're all right?
**[08:42] Thorn**
This is for their own good.
**[08:44] Thorn**
If we don't show them the correct path,
**[08:47] ---**
then much, much worse things will happen.
**[08:51] μ**
You're right.
**[08:53] μ**
Yeah.
**[09:04] Izuru**
Are you okay?
**[09:05] Suzuna**
Huh?
**[09:06] Suzuna**
Y-Yes.
**[09:09] IkeP**
Too bad!
**[09:12] Song**
*My heartbeat resonates through the sky,*
**[09:14] IkeP**
I have question for you.
**[09:16] IkeP**
Which of the following ticks me off the most?
**[09:17] Song**
*where bonds are forbidden,*
**[09:21] IkeP**
One: those truly with it.
**[09:21] Song**
*and endless grief flutters.*
**[09:25] IkeP**
Two: those who aren't,
but try hard to get with it.
**[09:30] IkeP**
Three: those who don't understand
the value of getting with it.
**[09:31] Song**
*Ahh, my sweet world is*
**[09:34] IkeP**
Okay, now answer.
**[09:37] Izuru**
It doesn't matter.
**[09:40] IkeP**
That's not an answer at all.
**[09:41] Song**
*melting away!*
**[09:42] IkeP**
The correct answer is number three: you.
**[09:45] Song**
*So since you're here,*
**[09:46] IkeP**
You've been an eyesore for a while.
**[09:49] Song**
*I want you to play your harmony for me.*
**[09:56] Song**
*It's like a brilliant ocean,*
**[09:57] Mirei**
If I stay here, I can live an
elegant life the way I used to!
**[09:59] Song**
*taking our broken hearts*
**[10:01] Mirei**
Don't interfere with that, you damn bitch!
**[10:03] Kotono**
You keep lying to yourself,
running and refusing to face it!
**[10:03] Song**
*and wrapping them tight.*
**[10:06] Song**
*It's all right. It's all right,*
**[10:07] Kotono**
I regret that now!
**[10:08] Song**
*There's nothing to be afraid of.*
**[10:11] Aria**
Kotono...
**[10:12] Naruko**
Stop it already! Stop it!
**[10:16] SweetP**
You want to be recognized, right?
**[10:18] SweetP**
You want people to fawn over you, right?
**[10:20] Naruko**
What would you know?!
**[10:21] Song**
*Everyone's been disgusted*
**[10:22] Naruko**
I...
**[10:24] Izuru**
I doubt you'll ever be able to understand.
**[10:26] Song**
*by imperfect love,*
**[10:27] Izuru**
What it feels like to want
to regain your true self.
**[10:30] IkeP**
My true self? After obtaining
such a hot face from μ?
**[10:31] Song**
*and is now trapped in suffering.*
**[10:36] IkeP**
That's like a hell of darkness.
**[10:38] IkeP**
You want to go back to that reality?
**[10:41] Song**
*Hey, where are you going?*
**[10:42] Suzuna**
Is that really...
**[10:44] Suzuna**
Is that really true?
**[10:47] Suzuna**
Ever since I've come to Mobius,
**[10:51] ---**
I've started to realize that
I should face reality more.
**[10:51] Song**
*Back to your world?*
**[10:57] Izuru**
That's right. I can't...
**[10:58] Song**
*If you're going to fall*
**[11:01] Izuru**
I can't live here.
**[11:01] Song**
*while still unfulfilled,*
**[11:04] Aria**
*I can feel everyone's emotions.*
**[11:06] Song**
*then you'll regret it.*
**[11:07] Mirei**
That's stupid!
**[11:10] Kotaro**
Aria!
**[11:13] μ**
Aria?
**[11:16] Kotaro**
H-Hey!
**[11:18] ---**
Hey, Aria!
**[11:22] Mirei**
Hmph, look at you! You're shaking!
**[11:24] Mirei**
You're scared, you weakling.
**[11:27] Kotaro**
I'm not a weakling! I'm...
**[11:31] Kotaro**
I'm...
**[11:33] Kotaro**
Damn it...
**[11:35] Kotaro**
How can I be so powerless?
**[11:38] Kotaro**
I...
**[11:39] Kotaro**
I... really...
**[11:48] Ritsu**
Kotaro?
**[11:53] Aria**
That's it.
**[11:55] Aria**
That's it, cowardly pipsqueak!
**[11:59] Kotaro**
Aria...
**[12:02] Kotaro**
Give me power!
**[12:04] Aria**
All right!
**[12:08] Aria**
Hey, you all can hear me, right?!
**[12:11] Aria**
Everyone, follow my lead!
**[12:14] Aria**
Okay?!
**[12:21] Aria**
You truly regret it, right?
**[12:24] Aria**
Not facing the things you should have...
**[12:27] Aria**
Not telling anyone else the truth...
**[12:31] Aria**
You've all lived suppressing those
feelings inside yourselves, right?
**[12:36] Aria**
It's been hard, and it's been painful.
**[12:41] Aria**
Now, expose those feelings
deep within your hearts!
**[13:00] Aria**
They're spilling out.
**[13:02] Aria**
They're spilling out now.
**[13:03] Aria**
All the darkness in your hearts!
**[13:08] Aria**
You can all feel it, too, right?!
**[13:11] Aria**
Let all those feelings out!
**[13:14] Aria**
I'll turn all that suffering and
hardship into power for you!
**[13:38] IkeP**
What is this?
**[13:40] SweetP**
What's going on?!
**[13:45] Kotaro**
Is this really...
**[13:49] Aria**
Yes! It's the shape of your own heart!
**[13:52] Aria**
That power belongs to you alone!
**[13:55] Naruko**
My own power...
**[13:59] Ritsu**
Everyone...
**[14:06] μ**
Aria, too?
**[14:07] μ**
And the others?
**[14:09] μ**
Why?
**[14:10] μ**
Why?
**[14:12] μ**
Why?
**[14:13] μ**
Why won't they understand?!
***SIGN*** Looking forward doesn't equal progress on its own. Understanding one's situation is also an important step.
**[14:17] Kotaro**
This is my Catharsis Effect.
**[14:21] Kotaro**
Now I can fight, too!
**[14:28] SweetP**
Jeez, this is a pain!
**[14:31] Mirei**
Honestly, they should
listen and do as we say.
**[14:35] KagiP**
But things are getting interesting now.
**[14:39] IkeP**
Three minutes!
**[14:41] IkeP**
No, in one minute, you'll all go to heaven!
**[14:45] Shogo**
Let's go!
**[14:51] Kotaro**
I'll make pancakes outta all of you!
**[14:53] Mirei**
What impertinent children!
**[14:56] Kotaro**
That's nothing!
**[15:04] IkeP**
Tsk!
**[15:12] SweetP**
What are you trying to
do in such a crooked stance?
**[15:16] Naruko**
You're full of openings yourself, aren't you?
**[15:26] Mirei**
Idiots are a handful when
they get a hold of power!
**[15:36] Suzuna**
I can fight, too!
**[15:40] Mirei**
A little girl after this brat?
Cut it out already!
**[15:46] Mirei**
You're persistent.
**[15:48] Kotono**
That goes for both of us.
**[15:55] KagiP**
Tell me, please.
**[15:57] KagiP**
Why do you want to return
to reality so badly?
**[16:00] Shogo**
Because...
**[16:02] Shogo**
I'm a murderer!
**[16:09] IkeP**
Drop dead, you Rogues!
**[16:18] Aria**
Everyone!
**[16:29] Ritsu**
Why...
**[16:33] Ritsu**
Why are they so desperate?
**[16:38] Ritsu**
What drives them to such lengths?
**[16:41] Ritsu**
I can't understand it.
**[16:43] Ritsu**
Is it because I'm lacking
the memories of reality
**[16:47] ---**
that everyone else has regained?
**[16:50] Ritsu**
Or is it something else?
**[16:53] Aria**
Ritsu...
**[16:54] Ritsu**
There has to be something for me, too.
**[16:58] Ritsu**
It has to be something very painful.
**[17:01] Ritsu**
Something so harsh I don't want to face it.
**[17:04] Ritsu**
But I know for certain that I...
**[17:06] Ritsu**
That Shikishima Ritsu exists in that world.
**[17:12] Ritsu**
What am I?
**[17:19] Song**
*Oh, wandering heart,*
**[17:24] Song**
*forget about everything,*
**[17:29] Song**
* view only your ideals in this*
* world guided by this song.*
**[17:32] Aria**
μ!
**[17:40] μ**
Why?!
**[17:41] μ**
Why are you doing this?!
**[17:43] μ**
What's wrong with this world?!
**[17:46] μ**
Besides, I asked all you Musicians
not to do anything mean!
**[17:51] μ**
No one...
**[17:52] μ**
No one will listen to me at all!
**[17:55] Aria**
Hey, μ!
**[17:57] Aria**
I want to talk to you!
**[17:59] Aria**
Please listen to me!
**[18:00] μ**
Shut up!
**[18:02] μ**
Shut up! Shut up!
**[18:03] μ**
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
**[18:07] μ**
All your feelings, all your happiness...
**[18:10] μ**
I can save it all!
**[18:13] Aria**
Hey, μ!
**[18:14] μ**
I'll grant your wish,
**[18:19] μ**
so tell me.
**[18:25] μ**
Cry!
**[18:33] Kotaro**
H-Hey! What's happening?!
**[18:37] Mirei**
Hey, isn't this kind of bad?
**[18:40] SweetP**
What's happening to μ?!
**[18:42] Thorn**
All of you, get out of here!
**[18:48] IkeP**
Hey!
**[18:48] IkeP**
What are you gawking at, KagiP?!
**[18:51] IkeP**
Hurry up!
**[18:55] Ritsu**
Aria, what's happening to μ?
**[18:58] Aria**
She can't control the power.
**[19:01] Ritsu**
Control?
**[19:03] Aria**
Up till now, she's been
desperately holding back
**[19:05] ---**
everyone's dark, muddy feelings within
herself, and now they're spilling out.
**[19:09] Aria**
Suffering, sadness, rage...
**[19:11] Aria**
All those negative emotions
are running amok!
**[19:14] Aria**
μ, don't! Get a hold of yourself!
**[19:17] Aria**
Don't lose sight of yourself!
**[19:19] Aria**
At this rate, μ will cease to be μ!
**[19:23] Song**
*Those things that hurt you*
**[19:26] Song**
*aren't needed here.*
**[19:29] Song**
*Those things that hold you back*
**[19:32] Song**
*aren't needed here.*
**[19:33] Aria**
μ!
**[19:34] Song**
*Grief isn't needed for happiness.*
**[19:40] Song**
*Pain isn't needed for happiness.*
**[19:45] Song**
*A cruel daily life*
***SIGN*** is entirely, entirely unnecessary.
**[19:52] Ritsu**
μ...
**[19:53] Ritsu**
I've decided.
**[19:56] Ritsu**
What I have to do!
**[20:02] Aria**
Ritsu!
**[20:03] Shogo**
He did it without Aria's help?!
**[20:05] Shogo**
His own Catharsis Effect?!
**[20:08] Ritsu**
μ! I don't know what's right, either!
**[20:12] Ritsu**
But this world is definitely wrong!
**[20:19] Ritsu**
So, μ...
**[20:21] Ritsu**
I'll stand against Mobius!
**[20:41] Ritsu**
μ...
**[20:45] μ**
Jerk...
**[20:47] μ**
Ritsu, you jerk...
**[22:22] Shogo**
We're all comrades sharing the same goal,
**[22:24] ---**
so we need to work together.
**[22:27] Shogo**
With that in mind, how about we use club
activities as a way to hide our actions?
**[22:32] Izuru**
Club activities?
**[22:33] Shogo**
Yeah, the club name will be...
**[22:35] Naruko**
Hold on!
**[22:36] Naruko**
Sempai, the way you name things...
**[22:39] Naruko**
isn't all that great.
**[22:41] Ritsu**
The Go-Home Club.
**[22:43] Ritsu**
How about the Go-Home Club?
**[22:46] Ritsu**
Everyone here wants to return
home to reality, right?
**[22:50] Kotaro**
Oh! I like that name!
**[22:52] Kotaro**
Then I'll be the club president.
**[22:54] Kotono**
No, that would be Shogo.
**[22:56] Shogo**
No, I'm not the type.
**[22:59] Shogo**
Ritsu, you do it.
**[23:02] Ritsu**
Huh? H-Hold on!
**[23:04] Ritsu**
There has to be someone better.
**[23:11] Shogo**
There you have it.
**[23:12] Shogo**
We're counting on you, President.
**[23:16] Ritsu**
* And thus, after realizing the*
* lies behind this happy world,*
**[23:21] ---**
* we all became this paradise's*
* heretics, known as Rogues.*
***SIGN*** Ow! My foot just cramped!
***SIGN*** When you're in a desperate situation, it's all the more important to keep smiling.
***SIGN*** The foot that never cramps, too!
***SIGN*** Tickle, tickle
***SIGN*** What are you doing, President?!
***SIGN*** When you're in a desperate situation, it's all the more important to keep smiling.
***SIGN*** Is that really the meaning of that aphorism?
***SIGN*** Bravo! Clap, clap!

**[00:02] Ritsu**
*A month has passed since that day.*
**[00:03] Ritsu**
*μ hasn't been seen since.*
**[00:05] Ritsu**
* Either the Musicians are*
* quietly watching over things,*
**[00:08] Ritsu**
*or they're not making any obvious moves.*
**[00:10] Ritsu**
*Meanwhile, our Go-Home Club...*
**[00:13] Mifue**
Oh, welcome back!
**[00:15] Suzuna**
Sorry, it'll be ready in just a moment.
**[00:19] Kotaro**
Ah, it'll fall apart!
**[00:21] Kotaro**
This is high-quality tofu, you know!
**[00:25] Shogo**
I'm beat.
**[00:27] Ritsu**
* It's now late spring, and the music prep room*
* has become the Go-Home Club room, and...*
**[00:31] Kotono**
You're a high schooler, aren't you?
**[00:34] Shogo**
This is a façade.
**[00:35] Ritsu**
*...we've decided to share a hot pot.*
**[02:25] Shogo**
Work sure is hard.
**[02:28] Suzuna**
You look quite tired, Sempai.
**[02:30] Shogo**
I never knew it was this
harsh dealing with customers.
**[02:34] Shogo**
I think I picked the wrong job.
**[02:35] Mifue**
I can't believe you're working at
an accessory shop, Shogo-sempai.
**[02:39] Aria**
Are you actually doing your job?
**[02:41] Shogo**
Of course.
**[02:42] Shogo**
I have a full grasp of the
products featured in the store,
**[02:45] Shogo**
and I help customers find—
**[02:47] (Flashback) Girl**
Excuse me. How much is this?
**[02:50] (Flashback) Shogo**
Uh, huh? The price tag...
**[02:53] (Flashback) Shogo**
Where's the price tag?
**[02:55] (Flashback) Shogo**
Oh, here.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Shogo**
No, that's not it.
**[02:59] Shogo**
I handle the register smoothly, too.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Shogo**
W-Will that be for yourself
or a present for another?
**[03:05] (Flashback) Girl**
A present.
**[03:07] (Flashback) Shogo**
Th-Then I'll get you our
gift bag as well.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Shogo**
H-Huh?
**[03:12] (Flashback) Shogo**
Where...
**[03:13] (Flashback) Shogo**
Bag, bag...
**[03:17] (Flashback) Girl**
Hey, you still looking?!
There's a line forming behind me!
**[03:21] (Flashback) Shogo**
I'm sorry!
**[03:23] Shogo**
The owner also has a lot of faith in me,
**[03:27] Shogo**
but it's also a pain when
they ask too much of me.
**[03:30] Shogo**
I plan to quit soon.
**[03:32] Shogo**
So well, I've been so busy it makes me dizzy.
**[03:37] Aria**
Is that true?
**[03:39] Kotono**
Well, we're able to take it this easy only
**[03:42] ---**
because the Musicians are
keeping a low profile.
**[03:47] Mifue**
Oh, it's from Naruko-sempai.
**[03:49] Mifue**
She says, "Shopping Squad B, now returning."
**[03:52] Suzuna**
Is there anything extra we should ask for?
**[03:55] Aria**
We're good. Tell them to hurry back.
**[04:09] Mifue**
Were you able to find it?
**[04:11] Shogo**
Oh, if you're talking about that...
**[04:12] Aria**
Huh?
**[04:16] Aria**
We're out of gas! And it was almost ready!
**[04:20] Aria**
Jeez!
**[04:26] Kotaro**
I will be the one to protect this world!
**[04:28] Kotaro**
Let's go, Rescue Dash!
**[04:32] Mirei**
Argh, jeez! How long is this
construction going to take?!
**[04:37] KagiP**
The repairs are handled by NPCs,
so who knows how long it'll be?
**[04:43] Mirei**
μ, hurry up and wake up.
**[04:47] Mirei**
If you don't, I...
**[04:50] Mirei**
We...
**[04:53] IkeP**
This is all due to those Rogues.
**[04:55] IkeP**
Damn annoyances.
**[04:57] SweetP**
How did you get that scar?!
**[04:59] IkeP**
I had a fight with someone I hate.
**[05:01] IkeP**
That's all.
**[05:04] SweetP**
IkeP...
**[05:06] IkeP**
That bastard...
**[05:08] IkeP**
Next time I'll get justice!
**[05:14] Aria**
Hurry, hurry!
**[05:16] Aria**
Everyone's waiting and looking
forward to eating the Aria hot pot!
**[05:19] Aria**
Hurry up!
**[05:21] Suzuna**
"Aria hot pot"?
**[05:22] Shogo**
Why are you so worked up about this?
**[05:25] Aria**
Listen, when everyone
gathers around a hot pot—
**[05:28] Izuru**
Hey.
**[05:29] Izuru**
Will this do?
**[05:33] Aria**
Way to go, Izurucchi!
**[05:35] Aria**
Now let's get the hot pot started!
**[05:37] Izuru**
"Izurucchi"?
**[05:41] Kotaro**
Rescue Arm!
**[05:46] Old Woman**
Thank you, young man.
**[05:49] Kotaro**
Don't worry about it!
**[05:50] Aria**
Ta-dah! For now, the first round's done!
**[05:55] Aria**
Here, here! Eat up!
**[05:57] Aria**
Go on! Go on! Eat lots!
**[06:02] Shogo**
Well, time to eat.
**[06:03] Three**
Thanks for the food!
**[06:05] Shogo**
Thanks for the food.
**[06:10] Izuru**
It's good.
**[06:12] Suzuna**
It's delicious.
**[06:13] Kotono**
Yeah.
**[06:14] Suzuna**
Hot pots really taste good when
you eat with your friends, huh?
**[06:21] Aria**
Man, adding these chicken meatballs really
brings the best out of the hot pot!
**[06:27] Aria**
Very nice, Izuru!
**[06:30] Mifue**
Another one!
**[06:33] Kotono**
You don't have to rush.
**[06:34] Kotono**
There's still plenty more left.
**[06:37] Mifue**
Lately I've just been so happy eating.
**[06:40] Kotono**
Don't you mean you're having fun?
**[06:42] Mifue**
Yes!
**[06:45] Kotaro**
Ah! You're already eating!
**[06:48] Kotaro**
You could've waited a little bit longer!
**[06:51] Aria**
No!
**[06:52] Aria**
This daikon isn't ready to eat yet!
**[06:54] Aria**
Eat the shiitake—the shiitake mushrooms!
**[06:56] Kotaro**
I-I don't need the shiitake mushrooms.
**[06:59] Aria**
And carrots, too!
**[07:01] Kotaro**
I don't need carrots, either.
**[07:03] Suzuna**
You're not a child anymore.
**[07:05] Naruko**
Though it shames me, Morita Naruko and
Mizuguchi Marie have now returned!
**[07:10] Marie**
Pardon us.
**[07:12] Mifue**
You're late, Naruko-sempai!
**[07:14] Naruko**
Well, sorry about that.
**[07:16] Kotono**
Mizuguchi-san, you should
come hang around more often.
**[07:19] Kotono**
Or do you not like it here
when the President's out?
**[07:22] Marie**
Huh?
**[07:23] Marie**
That's not true.
**[07:25] Marie**
I've just been busy lately.
**[07:28] Naruko**
Now, then...
**[07:29] Naruko**
Today we've brought an incredible
addition from Marie-chan!
**[07:37] All**
Oh!
**[07:39] Marie**
It's not that big a deal.
**[07:41] Marie**
I just wanted to have some with everyone
when I heard we were having a hot pot.
**[07:45] Naruko**
Don't be so modest!
**[07:46] Kotaro**
I-It looks delicious.
**[07:52] ---**
*D-Damn...*
**[07:59] Mifue**
What should we do with this meat?
**[08:01] Mifue**
The hot pot's full.
**[08:03] Aria**
Kotono, secure space!
**[08:05] Kotono**
Roger!
**[08:09] Kotono**
Thanks, Minezawa-kun!
**[08:10] Aria**
We're leaving it up to you!
**[08:17] Kotaro**
The fate of the world rests on my shoulders.
**[08:21] Kotaro**
There are more important things than meat!
**[08:25] Marie**
I changed out the gas.
**[08:27] Kotono**
Thanks, Mizuguchi-san.
**[08:33] Mifue**
Hey, can we eat that meat soon?
**[08:36] Naruko**
No! We eat after photos!
**[08:39] Mifue**
What?!
**[08:40] Naruko**
Do you have any idea how much buzz
that photos of expensive meat like this will get?!
**[08:45] Naruko**
It's already getting responses!
**[08:48] Naruko**
Oh, even more!
**[08:49] Naruko**
Everyone really is looking at me.
**[08:53] Kotono**
That's enough now, right?
**[08:54] Kotono**
If it boils too long,
the meat will get tough.
**[08:59] Mifue**
What, this is so good!
**[09:01] Shogo**
It's a perfect accompaniment.
**[09:04] Naruko**
Y-You idiot!
**[09:05] Naruko**
Do you have any idea what the value of a pic
of a hot pot with expensive meat is?!
**[09:15] Suzuna**
Kotaro-sempai...
**[09:17] Aria**
Stop!
**[09:19] Aria**
Now, now, just leave him alone.
**[09:24] Kotaro**
Rescue! Oh, uh... Scoop!
**[09:30] Man**
Thank you, Rescue Man.
**[09:33] Kotaro**
No, this was nothing! Nothing at all!
**[09:36] Kotaro**
Good, it's done!
**[09:38] Kotaro**
Meat!
**[09:41] [SONG] Screen**
I'm still open for a ton of Rescues!!
Rescue Man
***SIGN*** Rescue Man, help!! I bought too many things from the special sale at the supermarket, and now I can't carry it all. At this rate, I'll have to make several trips home. It'd be a big help if you could help me. Mamannu
**[09:46] Kotaro**
Let's go, Rescue Dash!
**[09:49] Naruko**
This meat is so good.
**[09:53] Marie**
Well, I should be leaving.
**[09:55] Mifue**
Thank you so much for the meat!
**[09:57] Kotono**
Come again!
**[10:01] Naruko**
Lately, Marie-chan's been
coming to hang out often.
**[10:05] Naruko**
Well, the President's not around today.
**[10:07] Shogo**
Huh? Are those things related somehow?
**[10:10] Mifue**
Marie-sempai is coming
here to see the President!
**[10:14] Suzuna**
I think she shows shows up most
often when the President's around.
**[10:19] Shogo**
In other words...
**[10:20] Naruko**
Man, Sempai, you're dense!
**[10:25] Kotono**
Well, who cares if that's her reason?
**[10:28] Kotono**
Girls all love tales of sweet,
stimulating romance.
**[10:33] Kotono**
After all, we're made of sugar,
spice, and everything nice.
**[10:44] Naruko**
Oh, Rescue Man.
**[10:46] Naruko**
Oh, he's busy, busy.
**[10:50] Shogo**
Leaving him aside for now,
has there been any new information?
**[10:57] Izuru**
Oh, that reminds me,
before I went shopping...
**[11:00] Aria**
H-Hey, Suzuna, what are you doing?
**[11:03] Suzuna**
Huh? You didn't want udon in it?
**[11:05] Aria**
That udon was for the end!
**[11:08] Suzuna**
Huh? But my family always
added it as a main ingredient.
**[11:11] Suzuna**
You don't?
**[11:13] Aria**
The final... Aria udon...
**[11:16] Kotaro**
Any meat still left—
**[11:18] Kotaro**
You're at the end already?!
**[11:19] Kotaro**
Damn!
**[11:20] Kotaro**
Oh, Kotaro-kun, don't cry!
**[11:23] Kotaro**
There are some fish balls left.
Here, udon too.
***SIGN*** Uwaaah~! My cat ran off somewhere~ Help me, Rescue Man~!! Emibbe
***SIGN*** I'm still Rescuing! Rescue Man
***SIGN*** The ditch in front of my house is clogged, and water is flooding from it! It's really bad. Help me! Thunder Man
**[11:28] Kotaro**
No rest for heroes of justice...
**[11:32] Kotaro**
You idiots!
**[11:33] Suzuna**
Ah, Kotaro-sempai!
**[11:38] Izuru**
It's good.
***SIGN*** When you're in a desperate situation, it's all the more important to keep smiling.
**[12:02] Ritsu**
Where am I?
**[12:13] Ritsu**
The edge of the world? That's not it.
**[12:17] Ritsu**
I have a clear awareness of myself.
**[12:22] Ritsu**
So...
**[13:19] Ritsu**
I figured it was you, μ.
**[13:29] SweetP**
How is μ?
**[13:31] Thorn**
She's all right.
**[13:32] Thorn**
It'll be soon. Don't worry.
**[13:36] Thorn**
μ's consciousness is gradually awakening.
**[13:40] Thorn**
Thanks to the power of her subconscious
desire to protect us Musicians.
**[13:45] Thorn**
Most likely, she'll wake up tonight.
**[13:48] Thorn**
Gather everyone.
**[13:50] Thorn**
Including the Musicians who aren't here.
**[13:57] μ**
I've constantly been thinking.
**[13:59] Ritsu**
About what?
**[14:01] μ**
I want to make everyone happy.
**[14:04] μ**
Yet the other day, I hurt you and the others.
**[14:08] μ**
But everyone was going crazy at
each other, so I lost control, as well.
**[14:13] μ**
I couldn't understand myself anymore.
**[14:18] μ**
Hey, Ritsu?
**[14:19] μ**
What should I do?
**[14:23] Ritsu**
Why are you asking me?
**[14:25] μ**
Because you're you.
**[14:29] Ritsu**
That's not an answer.
**[14:31] μ**
What can I do to make everyone happy?
**[14:34] μ**
What can I do to make you happy, too?
**[14:37] Ritsu**
That's a difficult problem.
**[14:43] Ritsu**
Filling in whatever is missing
doesn't always lead to happiness.
**[14:50] Ritsu**
Well, the happiness one feels
when obtaining something
**[14:54] ---**
shouldn't be denied, but...
**[14:57] μ**
It's so complicated that I don't understand.
**[15:00] Ritsu**
There are some people who derive
joy from the suffering of others.
**[15:03] Ritsu**
In that case, the unhappiness of one person
**[15:06] ---**
becomes happiness for someone else,
creating an antinomy, right?
**[15:10] μ**
Hmm?
**[15:13] Ritsu**
It means that happiness
differs for each individual.
**[15:17] μ**
I don't really get that, either.
**[15:20] μ**
Happiness is happiness, right?
**[15:22] μ**
How can it be different?
**[15:23] μ**
People are happy when they have
lots of delicious sweets, right?
**[15:27] μ**
People are happy when they can wear
as many cute outfits as they like.
**[15:31] μ**
Also... Also, it's best when
they all look really nice!
**[15:35] Ritsu**
As I said...
**[15:36] Ritsu**
Happiness is a way of thinking.
**[15:40] Ritsu**
Huh?
**[15:42] μ**
Ritsu?
**[15:43] Ritsu**
N-No, real happiness is...
**[15:49] (Flashback) Counselor**
As I've told you before,
**[15:51] (Flashback) ---**
you should give yourself a bit more credit.
**[15:56] Ritsu**
...what you feel when you're fulfilled.
**[16:01] μ**
You aren't happy when you
obtain the things you want?
**[16:06] Ritsu**
I...
**[16:09] μ**
So if your cherished pet dies,
then I'll make an even cuter one for you.
**[16:14] μ**
If you have a mother you hate,
I'll produce a new mother for you.
**[16:19] μ**
See?
**[16:19] μ**
If I do that, then everyone
can be happy, right?
**[16:24] Ritsu**
μ...
**[16:26] (Flashback) Tachibana**
Really?
**[16:28] (Flashback) Tachibana**
What about your other options?
**[16:30] (Flashback) Ritsu**
I don't have anything.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Ritsu**
I'm not like everyone else.
**[16:35] (Flashback) Counselor**
There isn't a single person in this world
who doesn't have some worry or problem.
**[16:40] μ**
I've been listening to everyone's voices.
**[16:44] μ**
The voices of their hearts,
**[16:46] ---**
crying out, "It hurts," "I'm in pain,"
and "I want to be happy."
**[16:50] (Flashback) Tachibana**
To put it another way,
unhappiness is also just a belief.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Tachibana**
Pessimists don't even notice
their own happiness.
**[16:57] (Flashback) Tachibana**
Yet the world is filled with plenty
of small bits of happiness.
**[17:01] Ritsu**
That's something only the haves can say.
**[17:05] μ**
You can forget about everything unpleasant.
**[17:08] μ**
Everyone can be happy here in Mobius,
where troubles, suffering, and pain don't exist.
**[17:14] Ritsu**
A world that grants happiness...
**[17:17] μ**
Yes, that's right!
**[17:19] μ**
This place is meant to make everyone happy!
**[17:21] (Flashback) Ritsu**
So anything can be granted in Mobius.
**[17:24] (Flashback) Tachibana**
In other words, your happiness is—
**[17:30] μ**
Ritsu? What's wrong?
**[17:35] Ritsu**
That's right.
**[17:37] Ritsu**
μ, you...
**[17:41] Ritsu**
I...
**[17:43] μ**
Don't worry.
**[17:44] μ**
I'll create your happiness for you, Ritsu.
**[17:50] Ritsu**
No.
**[17:52] Ritsu**
That's not right, μ.
**[17:54] Ritsu**
Listen to me.
**[17:56] μ**
The things you want,
**[17:57] μ**
the wishes you want granted,
**[17:59] μ**
the people you want to see,
**[18:02] μ**
the emotions you want fulfilled,
**[18:04] μ**
the dreams you want to experience,
**[18:05] μ**
the way you want to look...
**[18:09] μ**
Don't worry.
**[18:11] μ**
I'll grant any wish you have.
**[18:14] μ**
With my song!
**[18:15] Ritsu**
Wait! I—
**[18:25] Ritsu**
μ...
**[18:45] μ**
Oh, good morning.
**[18:49] Thorn**
Good morning, μ.
**[18:51] Thorn**
You've been sleeping so long
that we were all getting worried.
**[18:55] μ**
Yeah, I'm fine now.
**[18:58] Thorn**
What's the matter?
**[19:00] μ**
In my dream...
**[19:02] μ**
I realized I need to work much, much harder.
**[19:07] Thorn**
μ?
**[19:08] μ**
I'm sorry.
**[19:09] μ**
I hurt all of you, didn't I?
**[19:13] Thorn**
It's fine.
**[19:14] Thorn**
As long as you're around,
we can all be happy again.
**[19:18] μ**
That's right.
**[19:20] μ**
I'm sure Ritsu and the others
just don't have enough happiness.
**[19:24] μ**
That's why they're thinking about leaving.
**[19:26] Thorn**
Yes, μ, exactly so.
**[19:30] Thorn**
So...
**[19:32] ---**
Why don't you let us all
hear you sing some more?
**[19:36] μ**
Yeah!
**[19:38] Thorn**
The Musicians are gathering
together again tonight.
**[19:42] Thorn**
We should let them see that you're well.
**[19:44] μ**
Okay.
**[19:54] μ**
Huh?
**[19:55] μ**
What is this?
**[20:03] Naruko**
Jeez, President, you're late!
**[20:05] Mifue**
We've been waiting for you!
**[20:07] Shogo**
Hmm? Did you stop somewhere on the way?
**[20:10] Ritsu**
Yeah, a bit.
**[20:14] Kotono**
But the hot pot's over now.
**[20:18] Suzuna**
Mifue-chan ate a lot, didn't she?
**[20:19] Mifue**
Huh?!
**[20:20] Mifue**
Hey, it wasn't just me, right?!
**[20:23] Aria**
Ah, and here it was an Aria hot pot
specially made by Aria, too.
**[20:31] Aria**
Ritsu, what's wrong?
**[20:36] Ritsu**
Is it really over?
**[20:37] All**
Huh?
**[20:39] Ritsu**
It might look as though all the
ingredients are gone at first glance,
**[20:43] Ritsu**
but unless the hot pot says it's over,
**[20:48] Ritsu**
then I'm sure there are
still possibilities left.
**[20:54] Kotaro**
We've got trouble!
**[20:56] Naruko**
Oh, it's Rescue Man.
**[20:57] Kotaro**
N-No!
**[20:59] Kotaro**
I'm not that hero of justice!
**[21:01] Naruko**
Saving people here in Mobius where people
in need of rescue are prepared for you
**[21:06] ---**
is just self-satisfaction, Sempai.
**[21:09] Kotaro**
Shut up!
**[21:11] Kotaro**
This is a matter of my heart!
**[21:13] Shogo**
More importantly, what's wrong?
**[21:15] Shogo**
You're in a panic.
**[21:17] Kotaro**
I heard a scream from over there!
**[21:19] Kotaro**
So stop eating that stuff, and let's hurry!
**[21:21] Aria**
Hey! Don't call my Aria special
rice gruel "that stuff"!
**[21:25] Kotaro**
What do you mean, "Aria special
rice gruel," pipsqueak?!
**[21:27] Kensuke**
Could you save the comedy routine
for later, Kotaro-sempai?
**[21:31] Kotaro**
Huh? You're pretty cheeky
for a newbie, Kensuke!
**[21:39] Kotaro**
I think it's probably what you told us about.
**[21:42] Kotono**
Then...
**[21:44] Kensuke**
See? I told you to trust me.
**[21:47] Shogo**
Then we're certain?
**[21:52] Ritsu**
Go-Home Club, it's time to take action.

***SIGN*** May 9th
**[00:01] IkeP**
*I'm IkeP, the hottest guy here in Mobius.*
**[00:07] IkeP**
*But let me start by saying this:*
**[00:10] IkeP**
*I'm* seriously *pissed off right now.*
**[00:13] IkeP**
*Why?*
***SIGN*** Roughly One Month Ago
**[00:15] IkeP**
* Because I couldn't finish the fight*
* I started against the Rogue*
***SIGN*** April 13th
**[00:19] ---**
*Minezawa Izuru that day.*
**[00:23] IkeP**
* It's been one month since then,*
* and μ's still asleep.*
**[00:29] IkeP**
* So we Musicians haven't been*
* able to make any major moves.*
**[00:33] IkeP**
* When I think of how those Rogues*
* must be scoffing at us right now...*
**[00:40] IkeP**
*Our justice is being violated.*
***SIGN*** May 2nd
**[02:16] IkeP**
* Even though three weeks have passed*
* since that climactic day,*
**[02:20] IkeP**
* the ravages of that battle*
* still linger here in Mobius.*
**[02:25] IkeP**
*However, even at times like this,*
**[02:28] ---**
*my brilliance knows no bounds!*
**[02:35] Rose**
IkeP-sama!
**[02:37] Iris**
Take me!
**[02:38] Lily**
Marry me!
**[02:46] IkeP**
* To women, I'm truly a north star*
* lighting up the darkness.*
**[02:50] IkeP**
*This is the ecstasy I longed for!*
**[02:54] IkeP**
Truly ecstatic!
**[02:58] IkeP**
I've practically won over every
woman in Mobius at this point.
**[03:03] IkeP**
Oh, looks like there's a love call from
a kitten longing to hear my voice.
**[03:08] Mirei**
That's why I asked!
**[03:10] Mirei**
How long is μ going to sleep?!
**[03:12] Mirei**
The construction's not making any progress,
and I'm at my limit of living like this!
**[03:16] Mirei**
Hurry up and restore the
original Sea Paraiso!
**[03:20] IkeP**
* Great as I am, I can't tell you when*
* Sleeping Beauty's going to wake up.*
**[03:24] Mirei**
You're useless!
**[03:25] Mirei**
You really are nothing but good looks.
**[03:28] IkeP**
* Hey now, all that flattery*
* will get you nowhere.*
**[03:34] Toshizo**
I hear happiness runs away
with every sigh, young lady.
**[03:39] Mirei**
You're suggesting it can
run any farther away?
**[03:48] Toshizo**
My apologies, we're out
of the usual tea leaves.
**[03:53] Mirei**
What do mean?
**[03:58] Mirei**
This is Mobius, right?
**[04:01] SweetP**
* That's probably because μ's*
* power has weakened, right?*
**[04:05] SweetP**
It's been an awfully long time
since μ went to sleep, hasn't it?
**[04:08] SweetP**
It seems that's causing problems
maintaining Mobius here and there.
**[04:13] IkeP**
I get it.
**[04:14] IkeP**
So that's why the NPCs are
doing the building repairs.
***SIGN*** Notice!! We're out of oil, so we'll be closed for a while. Sorry...
**[04:18] SweetP**
Yeah. Everything that's not
necessary for survival
**[04:21] ---**
is steadily being pushed to the back burner.
***SIGN*** Ramen Namarou
**[04:24] SweetP**
Even my favorite restaurant is closed.
**[04:28] SweetP**
There are still some things that have
barely managed to remain, but...
**[04:37] SweetP**
At this rate,
**[04:39] ---**
everything cute and everything tasty
will soon be gone.
**[04:43] Mirei**
*Don't go spouting such weakness!*
**[04:46] Mirei**
I don't plan on abandoning
the life I have here now!
**[04:49] Mirei**
Why do you think I came to Mobius?
**[04:52] Mirei**
At any rate, we need to have
μ wake up as soon as possible.
**[05:01] IkeP**
* True, things are going*
* to be bad at this rate.*
***SIGN*** Thank you very much for your repeated patronage. The salon is undergoing renovations and will be closed in the interim. We understand that this is an inconvenience and humbly request your understanding.
**[05:08] IkeP**
Seriously?
**[05:08] Woman**
There he is! Minezawa-kun!
**[05:15] Women**
U-Um, we made this for
you, so please eat it!
**[05:19] Izuru**
No, I don't need it.
**[05:21] Woman**
Huh?
**[05:22] IkeP**
Hey there, what a rude man you are, Minezawa!
**[05:26] IkeP**
Look at you rejecting a
lady's heartfelt gift.
**[05:30] ---**
Do you enjoy hurting women, man?!
**[05:34] IkeP**
What?!
**[05:35] IkeP**
Hey, wait!
**[05:38] Izuru**
Leave me be.
**[05:41] IkeP**
Damn that uptight bastard...
**[05:43] IkeP**
Right?
**[05:44] Woman**
He's wonderful.
**[05:45] IkeP**
Huh?
**[05:46] Woman**
I know.
**[05:47] Woman**
That cold attitude is unbelievable.
**[05:51] Woman**
Minezawa-kun, wait for me!
**[05:55] ---**
Minezawa-kun!
**[05:56] ---**
Wait!
**[05:58] IkeP**
*Minezawa Izuru...*
**[06:00] IkeP**
* I've hated him since*
* I first laid eyes on him.*
**[06:04] IkeP**
*His pretty face and cold eyes*
**[06:07] ---**
* always make me remember the hateful*
* things I left behind in reality.*
**[06:13] IkeP**
*Here in Mobius, we can have anything.*
**[06:16] IkeP**
* The selves we never managed*
* to become in reality...*
**[06:20] IkeP**
*The selves we lost back in reality...*
**[06:24] IkeP**
*If you seek quiet, you can have it.*
**[06:29] IkeP**
*If you seek strength, you can have it.*
**[06:34] IkeP**
*As well as...*
**[06:39] IkeP**
* The things you always*
* longed so desperately for.*
**[06:43] IkeP**
*Talent, good looks, the attention of women...*
**[06:48] IkeP**
*There is no greater paradise than this.*
**[06:50] IkeP**
*Mobius is justice!*
**[06:54] Kensuke**
Found you, Ritsu-sempai.
**[06:58] Ritsu**
What do you want?
**[06:59] Kensuke**
Come on.
**[07:00] ---**
Don't act as if you don't know, after
shaking Mobius up this badly.
**[07:05] Kensuke**
See? Because μ's not here,
**[07:08] Kensuke**
the injuries from that last
battle still haven't healed.
**[07:14] Kensuke**
Hey, Sempai?
**[07:15] Kensuke**
Why do you want to return to reality?
**[07:19] Kensuke**
Why do you need to fight against μ?
**[07:23] Kensuke**
I can kind of understand how
all the other Rogues feel,
**[07:28] Kensuke**
and I know this is strange for me to say,
**[07:32] Kensuke**
but Ritsu-sempai,
**[07:35] Kensuke**
you still haven't remembered
who you are yet, right?
**[07:39] Kensuke**
I'm sure you already understand this,
**[07:41] Kensuke**
but back in reality, we all
lived pretty crappy lives.
**[07:47] Kensuke**
There's no need to go back to reality, is there?
**[07:53] Ritsu**
To be honest, I was debating that with
myself until a little while ago.
**[07:58] Ritsu**
But on that day...
**[07:59] Ritsu**
I can't explain it well,
but I sensed it.
**[08:04] Ritsu**
This whole thing is wrong.
**[08:07] Ritsu**
Besides, as I watched everyone
in the Go-Home Club,
**[08:11] Ritsu**
I thought about why they wanted to go home.
**[08:15] Ritsu**
Just like you.
**[08:17] Ritsu**
So maybe that's why.
**[08:22] Kensuke**
Man, you really are eccentric, Sempai.
**[08:26] Ritsu**
Huh?
**[08:27] Kensuke**
So hey, let me join the
Go-Home Club as well, President.
**[08:33] IkeP**
Huh?!
***SIGN*** Direct Hit to the Genocide-Style

he's every woman's dark shadow
IkeP
Even a simple uniform on him
is like an angel's raiment
Minezawa Izuru
**[08:34] IkeP**
Minezawa's number 2 by only a narrow margin?
***SIGN*** Clothes are happy to be worn by IkeP. (Woman, 18) I can't believe there's someone who can pull black off that well. (Man, 15) So beautiful, Gaia's jealous. (Woman, 17) Even a simple uniform on him is like an angel's raiment. Minezawa Izuru He looks so cool it's heavenly. (Woman, 16) Uniform? You're lying, you mean prince, right? (Woman, 19) Please take me at once! (Woman, 15)
**[08:38] IkeP**
Even the magazine rankings
were a result of μ's power?
**[08:42] IkeP**
Damn it!
**[08:43] IkeP**
I won't let him!
**[08:46] IkeP**
Give me all the new releases.
**[08:47] Shop**
Y-Yes. At once.
**[08:50] Woman**
Just a little more...
**[08:58] IkeP**
*I knew Gaia hadn't abandoned me yet.*
**[09:01] IkeP**
* So long as I wear this shop's black*
* outfit, I can defend my throne.*
**[09:06] Iris**
IkeP-sama!
**[09:10] Staff**
Pardon me.
**[09:12] Woman**
What a blockhead!
**[09:14] Woman**
So funny! I'm taking pictures.
**[09:18] Woman**
What's with him?
**[09:33] IkeP**
Stop it!
**[09:37] Staff**
Thank you very much.
**[09:45] Iris**
This unusual, wild side of
you is also lovely, IkeP!
**[09:48] IkeP**
Huh? Rose and Lily aren't with you?
**[09:52] Iris**
No, those two have the hots
for Izuru-sama right now.
**[09:55] IkeP**
Huh?
**[09:57] Iris**
Lately, Izuru-sama's really
popular with the ladies.
**[10:01] Iris**
But rest assured,
**[10:03] ---**
I'm your devoted fan, IkeP-sama!
**[10:08] IkeP**
Hey, do you understand?
**[10:11] IkeP**
When the thing you treasure most
**[10:13] ---**
is getting trampled by the person
who ticks you off the most,
**[10:16] IkeP**
it goes far beyond the
level of anger or hatred.
**[10:20] IkeP**
Minezawa Izuru!
***SIGN*** Your life shouldn't be built from someone else's blueprint. No matter how unskilled you may be, you should draw it yourself.

**[10:29] IkeP**
*μ still hasn't woken up,*
**[10:30] ---**
*and the situation's only growing worse.*
**[10:32] Mifue**
Oh, it's from Naruko-sempai.
**[10:34] Mifue**
She says, "Shopping Squad B, now returning."
**[10:38] Suzuna**
Is there anything extra we should ask for?
**[10:41] Aria**
We're good. Tell them to hurry on back.
**[10:49] Naruko**
She says, "Hurry on back."
**[10:51] Marie**
Do you think we bought a little too much?
**[10:54] Naruko**
There're guys there too,
so I think it's just right?
**[10:58] IkeP**
Impossible!
***SIGN*** Beautiful enough to make a dark galaxy bow before him All of humanity is his woman Minezawa Izuru I can't believe he makes a uniform look this good... is he a god?

**[11:00] IkeP**
I'm second place?!

I'm IkeP...
**[11:06] IkeP**
The hottest man in Mobius...
**[11:15] SweetP**
That's odd. I wonder what happened...
**[11:23] SweetP**
Yeah, I'm sure it's defective.
**[11:27] SweetP**
I'll go with this one.
**[11:32] SweetP**
See?
**[11:38] SweetP**
You're kidding?!
**[11:39] SweetP**
That's impossible!
**[11:42] Clerk**
I'm sorry ma'am, but this card was declined.
**[11:45] Mirei**
Huh?
**[11:46] ---**
Unbelievable...
**[11:47] Mirei**
Here!
**[11:50] Clerk**
I'm sorry, but this one was also...
**[11:52] Mirei**
What?!
**[11:54] Mirei**
Hold on just a moment.
**[12:03] Clerk**
I'm sorry, but none of them would go through.
**[12:07] Mirei**
Huh?!
**[12:08] Mirei**
There's no way they can't work!
**[12:10] Clerk**
I'm sorry, ma'am.
**[12:20] Mirei**
Toshizo!
**[12:22] Toshizo**
Young lady, what is the matter?
**[12:26] Mirei**
What do I do, Toshizo? Our money...
**[12:29] Mirei**
Our money's gone.
**[12:31] Mirei**
Without money, we'll be driven out!
**[12:34] Toshizo**
Young lady, please rest assured.
**[12:37] Toshizo**
I'll remain at your side, no matter
what happens in this world.
**[12:50] Boy**
Thanks, Rescue Man!
**[12:54] Voice**
S-Someone!
**[12:58] Kotaro**
*I hear the call for rescue out there!*
**[13:09] SweetP**
What's going to happen to us
**[13:14] ---**
if μ remains asleep?
**[13:18] Thorn**
It's been a month since she fell asleep.
**[13:21] Thorn**
For now, Mobius is still functioning.
**[13:25] Thorn**
Right now, there's nothing we can do for μ.
**[13:28] SweetP**
No way!
**[13:30] Mirei**
You keep insisting on patience,
**[13:32] ---**
but you're not trying to
monopolize μ, are you?!
**[13:36] Thorn**
Ridiculous.
**[13:37] Mirei**
Huh?!
**[13:39] SweetP**
Stop fighting!
**[13:40] SweetP**
If this keeps up, Mobius might disappear!
**[13:44] IkeP**
Calm down.
**[13:45] SweetP**
But, but...
**[13:46] IkeP**
You never know when you'll be
consumed by the devil's darkness.
**[13:50] IkeP**
That's why it's natural
for commoners to panic.
**[13:54] Mirei**
And what about you, then?
**[13:56] IkeP**
Me?
**[13:57] IkeP**
Well, I'm Gaia's, you know...
**[14:01] Mirei**
You men all are idiots.
**[14:03] IkeP**
Hmph, then there's no point staying here.
**[14:07] SweetP**
Where are you going?
**[14:09] IkeP**
Back to the kittens waiting for me.
**[14:22] IkeP**
Damn it! At this rate...

It's Izuru-sama!
**[14:43] Women**
Izurun!
**[14:44] Women**
No way, the real him?!
**[14:46] Iris**
I'm your devoted fan, Izuru-sama!
**[14:49] Rose**
What a noble smell!
**[14:51] Lily**
Marry me!
**[14:53] Izuru**
Please move. I have important
matters to attend to.

**[14:57] Woman**
That guy over there's hot, right?!
**[14:59] Woman**
Let's go!
**[15:08] Iris**
Huh?
**[15:09] Iris**
I can't find Izuru-sama.
**[15:14] Rose**
He should be nearby.
**[15:16] Lily**
Today's the day I'm going to
stroke that skin all over!
**[15:25] IkeP**
Minezawa!
**[15:31] IkeP**
Welcome to my favorite store!
**[15:34] IkeP**
Shall I find a nice outfit for you?
**[15:36] Izuru**
No, what I'm looking for isn't here.
**[15:40] IkeP**
Is that so, Mr. Hottest Guy in Miyabi City?
**[15:44] IkeP**
How's it feel being popular with the ladies,
without doing anything to earn it?!
**[15:49] Izuru**
Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.
**[15:51] IkeP**
Pay a little attention to me, you asshole!
**[15:56] IkeP**
Stop right there!
**[15:57] Song**
* The cards we're dealt when we're born*
* don't always amount to everything.*
**[15:57] Iris**
Oh, no! Izuru-sama and IkeP-sama
are fighting over us!
**[16:03] IkeP**
Your good looks are a wasted treasure!
**[16:04] Song**
* We should be able to enjoy wanting, too.*
* It doesn't equal unhappiness, after all.*
**[16:05] IkeP**
If they just realized an unpolished
jewel is a mere rock,
**[16:08] ---**
then those women would
open their eyes to it!
**[16:12] Song**
* The answer you seek is a*
* privilege granted only to you.*
**[16:18] Song**
* But any perfect, other side is fragile.*
* Where am I? Where am I now?*
**[16:22] IkeP**
Damn!
**[16:23] Lily**
We're such sinful women.
**[16:26] Rose**
Yes...

Don't run!

*I'll overcome them with this Angel's Song!*
**[16:31] Izuru**
I don't have time to waste on you.
**[16:33] IkeP**
What'd you say?!
**[16:35] Song**
*These broken wings are no use to me anymore,*
**[16:38] Song**
*so I'll throw it all away right here for you.*
**[16:42] Song**
*Satisfaction? Compromise? Or resignation?*
**[16:45] Song**
*I'll overcome them with this Angel's Song!*
**[16:47] IkeP**
Hey, why do you want to go back?!
**[16:49] Song**
*These broken wings are no use to me anymore,*
**[16:51] IkeP**
After getting those good
looks through μ's power!
**[16:53] Song**
*So Maria, destroy it all right here for me.*
**[16:53] IkeP**
You could use them to your full advantage
and live a fun, interesting life!
**[16:58] Izuru**
I was born with these looks.
**[16:59] Song**
* It's possible to change the*
* destiny decided for us at birth,*
**[17:01] IkeP**
Huh?!
**[17:02] IkeP**
You liar!
**[17:03] IkeP**
There's no way someone like that
would come here to our Mobius!
**[17:06] Song**
* So I'll break down those barriers for you,*
* even your hopeless feelings of worthlessness.*
**[17:08] Izuru**
Are you saying you want my good looks?
**[17:10] Izuru**
I'd give them away any day.

We need to show them an even greater hell.
**[18:02] IkeP**
Look at your damn self now, Minezawa Izuru!
**[18:11] IkeP**
Your pretty face is all ruined!
**[18:13] IkeP**
Bet it's a shock, huh?!
**[18:24] IkeP**
Wha...
**[18:25] IkeP**
What?
**[18:27] IkeP**
What's so funny?!
**[18:34] IkeP**
Wha?!
**[18:38] IkeP**
S-Stop it.
**[18:39] IkeP**
Stop it, hey...
**[18:45] Izuru**
This is my face in the real world.
**[18:49] Izuru**
These scars were the first
thing I ever obtained
**[18:53] Izuru**
to prove that I am myself!
**[19:01] Izuru**
I'm sure μ decided to
take pity on these scars.
**[19:05] Izuru**
That's why my face always went right back
to normal no matter how much I scarred it.
**[19:11] Izuru**
Even though these scars
themselves were my very wish.
**[19:16] IkeP**
You're crazy.
**[19:19] IkeP**
If you want to go back to
reality with a face like that,
**[19:22] ---**
there's something wrong with you.
**[19:24] Izuru**
All the more reason I'm going back.
**[19:27] Izuru**
To regain my true self, the one that etched
proof of his identity into himself.
**[19:33] IkeP**
Your true self? Who...
**[19:37] IkeP**
Who cares about that?!
**[19:41] IkeP**
Even I realize that none of this is real!
**[19:45] IkeP**
That it's not right, and it's fake!
**[19:48] IkeP**
But anywhere else but here, I...
**[19:52] IkeP**
We...
**[19:55] IkeP**
So!
**[19:56] IkeP**
Mobius is my justice!
**[20:03] Izuru**
I see.
**[20:08] Izuru**
Right, can I ask you one thing?
**[20:13] Izuru**
Do you know where I can buy this?

* something they won't surrender.*
**[20:41] Kotaro**
I think it's probably what you told us about.
**[20:45] Kotono**
Then...
**[20:46] Kensuke**
See? I told you to trust me.
**[20:49] Shogo**
Then we're certain?
**[20:55] Ritsu**
Go-Home Club, it's time to take action.
**[20:59] μ**
Everyone,
**[21:00] μ**
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
**[21:02] μ**
I'll restore it right away, okay?
**[21:16] SweetP**
Thank goodness, μ.
**[21:19] SweetP**
Seriously...
**[21:20] Mirei**
Honestly, I got sick of waiting.
**[21:23] IkeP**
*We can't live without μ's power anymore.*
**[21:29] IkeP**
* Returning to the real world*

*We can't go back, and we don't intend to.*

They're summoning
all the Musicians tonight.

I think μ's likely to be there.

**[00:04] Kensuke**
Even so, that's surprising.
**[00:07] Kensuke**
We Musicians often come here ourselves,
**[00:10] Kensuke**
but I never would've thought this is a key
location for returning to the real world.
**[00:15] Aria**
Yeah.
**[00:16] Aria**
Some of my power's returned
since μ fell asleep
**[00:20] ---**
and her influence over Mobius waned.
**[00:23] Kensuke**
So then, at one point you also
possessed the same power as μ?
**[00:28] Aria**
Well yeah, though I'm still
not back in perfect condition.
**[00:32] Aria**
I'm finally able to sense
that location, though.
**[00:36] Kensuke**
The door at the top of this tower, you mean?
**[00:40] Aria**
Yes. The Door of Judgment.
**[00:43] Kensuke**
Isn't that just a simple entrance
to the room the Musicians are using
**[00:46] ---**
as their headquarters?
**[00:48] Aria**
No. Your base is outside this Miyabi City.
**[00:52] Kensuke**
Outside Miyabi City?
**[00:54] Aria**
The Door of Judgment is the sole portal
**[00:57] ---**
capable of passage between Mobius and
the space outside. In other words...
**[01:01] Kensuke**
That door also connects to the real world?!
**[01:04] Aria**
Yes!
**[01:05] Kotaro**
Then that means we can return to
the real world through that door!
**[01:09] Aria**
Well, that's not actually true.
**[01:12] Aria**
The only ones capable of linking
the Door of Judgment to reality
**[01:16] ---**
are the scant few able to access the
deeply stored data that composes Mobius.
**[01:21] Kensuke**
Meaning μ?
**[01:23] Aria**
If μ cooperates with us,
**[01:26] ---**
then we can use that door to
return you all to the real world!
**[01:29] Kensuke**
That doesn't sound like something
we can really count on.
**[01:32] Aria**
That's not true!
**[01:34] Aria**
Earlier, μ was just confused
about all that's happened!
**[01:38] Aria**
Once she gets good rest,
recovers, and hears us out,
**[01:41] ---**
then I'm sure she'll go back to
the kind μ she's always been.
**[01:46] Kensuke**
Though the Musicians are
gathering here tonight as well.
**[01:49] Kensuke**
Before we can talk to μ...
**[01:51] Kotono**
We're not going to be able
to avoid fighting them.
**[01:54] Kotaro**
All right!
**[01:55] Kotaro**
Let's settle this! Today!
**[03:31] Kotaro**
We're finally going to
return to reality, huh?
**[03:34] Suzuna**
Kotaro-sempai, have you already decided
what you're going to do when you get back?
**[03:39] Kotaro**
Well...
**[03:40] Naruko**
Rescue Man, right?
**[03:42] Kotaro**
No! Not that!
**[03:46] Kotaro**
What about you, anyway?
**[03:47] Naruko**
Me?
**[03:49] Naruko**
Probably be a novelist.
**[03:51] Kotaro**
Huh? Can you write novels?
**[03:54] Naruko**
I don't know.
**[03:56] Naruko**
But I want to try.
**[03:59] Mifue**
I want to read them.
**[04:01] Naruko**
Thanks.
**[04:02] Kensuke**
And you, Izuru-sempai?
**[04:04] Izuru**
Live on my own.
**[04:05] Kotaro**
That's kind of boring.
**[04:08] Suzuna**
Shogo-sempai, are you all right?
**[04:11] Shogo**
It's nothing.
**[04:15] Aria**
What?!
**[04:16] Kotono**
What's wrong?
**[04:17] Kotono**
I can hear the cries of their hearts!
**[04:26] Kotaro**
It's that cry from before!
**[04:27] Kotaro**
Aria! Where's it coming from?!
**[04:29] Aria**
Uh... the 18th floor, east side.
**[04:33] Naruko**
Hey! Hold on!
**[04:35] Kotono**
Kotaro-kun?!
**[04:47] Student**
Stop it!
**[04:48] Kotaro**
Here?!
**[04:48] Student**
Just make it stop already!
**[04:49] Kotaro**
What are you guys doing?!
**[05:06] Kotaro**
These spiky bastards...
**[05:33] Kotaro**
Hey, you okay?
**[05:35] Student**
Yeah, you saved me.
**[05:38] Student**
Where am I?
**[05:39] Kotaro**
Landmark Tower.
**[05:41] Student**
Huh? But Landmark Tower's...
**[05:48] Kotaro**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[05:49] Kotaro**
Get a grip!
**[05:51] Student**
It's him! It's him!
**[05:55] Kotaro**
Hey!
**[05:58] Shadow Knife**
Are you getting in my way?
**[06:00] Shadow Knife**
Then I'll need to eliminate you as well.
**[06:03] Kotaro**
You're a Musician?!
**[06:05] Shadow Knife**
I am the guardian of hell,
commander of darkness.
**[06:20] Wicked**
Argh, jeez!
**[06:22] Wicked**
This is irritating!
**[06:24] Wicked**
It's taking too long, you know!
**[06:27] Thorn**
Be quiet, Wicked.
**[06:30] Wicked**
We should just finish them off at once.
**[06:32] Wicked**
I'll wreck them for you.
**[06:36] Thorn**
That lack of patience is a problem.
**[06:40] Thorn**
It will be time to use your power soon.
**[06:43] Thorn**
Until then, bear with it.
**[06:45] Wicked**
I finally get to play!
**[06:48] Thorn**
However, that one man you
are not to lay hands on.
**[06:50] Wicked**
Huh?
**[06:52] Thorn**
Satake Shogo, he's my prey.
**[06:57] Mifue**
Hey.
**[06:58] Mifue**
Hey, Shogo-sempai, are you listening?
**[07:01] Shogo**
Yeah.
**[07:02] Suzuna**
We need to go after Kotaro-sempai.
**[07:05] Naruko**
Ahh, jeez, why does he go running off
on his own even at times like this?!
**[07:10] Kotono**
Hey, what are we going to do, President?
**[07:17] Ritsu**
Let's hurry.
**[07:19] Mifue**
Huh?!
**[07:19] Mifue**
What are you saying?
**[07:21] Ritsu**
Kotaro should understand.
**[07:24] Ritsu**
Our top priority is returning to reality.
**[07:27] Kotono**
I know it is, but...
**[07:29] Naruko**
Aren't you being a little cold?
**[07:38] Aria**
Ah, again!
**[07:42] Student**
*Please let me go! Please!*
**[07:42] Aria**
These are all voices of
people crying out for help!
**[07:44] Student**
*Someone! Anyone!*
**[07:48] Kensuke**
Do we go help them?
**[07:50] Kensuke**
Or do we abandon them and go on ahead?
**[07:53] Kensuke**
Well, well, that's a
difficult choice to make.
**[08:00] Suzuna**
I can't.
**[08:06] Aria**
Suzuna!
**[08:06] Kotono**
Hey, Suzuna-chan!
**[08:10] Kensuke**
Oh well.
**[08:14] Izuru**
I just hope this isn't
a trap set by the Musicians.
**[08:16] Mifue**
Huh?
**[08:17] Mifue**
That couldn't possibly be true, right?
**[08:24] Kotaro**
Where the hell did he go?
**[08:28] Shadow Knife**
I am the one who lurks in shadows.
**[08:30] Shadow Knife**
Imperceivable by normal men.
**[08:45] Shadow Knife**
I believe I told you it's futile.
**[08:48] Shadow Knife**
Give up. Someone like you...
**[08:52] Kotaro**
I'm not giving up!
**[08:58] Kotaro**
No matter what happens!
**[09:00] Kotaro**
If someone's in trouble, I'll save them!
**[09:02] Kotaro**
I'll never give up on them!
**[09:06] Shadow Knife**
And you claim that is your justice?
**[09:08] Kotaro**
Of course it is!
**[09:13] Aria**
Over there!
**[09:21] Kotono**
This is...
**[09:22] Suzuna**
They forced her to eat rotten food.
**[09:25] Suzuna**
I'm going to untie you now, so
please hold on a little longer.
**[09:25] Kensuke**
This is his doing, without a doubt.
**[09:42] Shadow Knife**
You'll be rust on my blade.
**[09:45] Kotaro**
Shadow Knife, right?
**[09:47] Kotaro**
I knew it.
**[09:49] Kotaro**
That outfit, that manner of speaking...
**[09:51] Kotaro**
It's Shadow Knife, the anime hero, right?
**[09:56] Kotaro**
You admired heroes and
wanted to become one,
**[09:59] Kotaro**
so you came to Mobius, didn't you?
**[10:02] Kotaro**
In that case, why are you
doing things like this?
**[10:06] Kotaro**
You're supposed to be a hero!
**[10:08] Kotaro**
So why are you tormenting the weak?!
**[10:11] Shadow Knife**
You don't understand anything.
**[10:15] Kotaro**
You're the only thing I don't understand.
**[10:17] Kotaro**
You managed to become a hero, right?
**[10:20] Kotaro**
So why are you using your power for this?
**[10:22] Kotaro**
You're the one I'll never forgive!
**[10:30] Kensuke**
Shadow Knife...
**[10:32] Kensuke**
Here in Mobius, he obtained the same
powers as the anime character
**[10:36] ---**
and took to torturing those he doesn't like.
**[10:38] Kensuke**
But I'm shocked that he
was this cruel about it.
**[10:44] Kotono**
Hey, get a grip!
**[10:48] Kotaro**
Grit your teeth!
**[10:50] Kotaro**
I'm going to beat that rotten
personality of yours back into shape!
**[10:55] Kotaro**
Listen, I do understand
**[10:58] Kotaro**
what it feels like to be the victim.
**[11:01] Kotaro**
No matter how much you beg for help...
**[11:03] Kotaro**
No matter how loud you scream...
**[11:05] Kotaro**
It never reaches anyone!
**[11:08] Kotaro**
I bet you don't understand that.
**[11:10] Kotaro**
What it feels like to be bullied!
**[11:22] Kotaro**
Where did he go?!
**[11:24] Student**
H-Hey, is someone there?!
**[11:27] Student**
O-Over here! Hurry!
**[11:29] Student**
Help me, hurry!
**[11:32] Kotaro**
I'm coming!
**[11:40] Kotaro**
Hey, are you all right?
**[11:42] Student**
Yeah, I know!
**[11:44] Student**
I know!
**[11:45] Student**
It was my fault, all of it!
**[11:47] Kotaro**
Get a grip!
**[11:48] Kotaro**
You're fine now!
**[11:50] Student**
I remembered it all.
**[11:52] Student**
So, please forgive me!
**[11:54] Kotaro**
Do you mean...
**[11:56] Kotaro**
Did you regain your memories
of the real world?!
**[12:01] Student**
It was him!
**[12:02] Student**
He did this!
**[12:10] Kotaro**
Shadow Knife...
**[12:12] Student**
You...
**[12:13] Student**
You're Yamada!
**[12:14] Student**
I know it!
**[12:15] Student**
You're holding a damn grudge
over what happened in the past!
**[12:18] Kotaro**
What do you mean?
**[12:19] Student**
That guy...
**[12:21] Student**
In short, he was the one who got bullied.
**[12:23] Kotaro**
Huh?
**[12:24] Student**
There's always at least one person
like that in every class, right?
**[12:28] Student**
But he's held onto those
old encounters forever.
**[12:31] Student**
How can he be Shadow Knife?!
**[12:33] Student**
Pretending he's a damn hero!
**[12:34] Kotaro**
H-Hey...
**[12:36] Kotaro**
Did you bully him back in the real world?
**[12:39] Song**
*Born into an imperfect life,*
**[12:40] Student**
I wouldn't say bullied.
**[12:42] Student**
I just teased him on occasion!
**[12:44] Kotaro**
In other words,
**[12:44] Song**
*where divine punishment awaits,*
**[12:45] Kotaro**
you've been forcing those who
bullied you in the real world
**[12:48] Song**
*I've cast aside my pathetic self.*
**[12:49] ---**
to regain their memories and experience
the same torment they put you through?
**[12:52] Shadow Knife**
The weak can be saved only by punishing evil.
**[12:52] Song**
*Now pay the price for staining me red.*
**[12:56] Shadow Knife**
That's the truth I've learned first hand.
**[12:59] Student**
Shut up, Yamada!
**[12:59] Song**
*I'll take those ugly, violent weekends*
**[13:00] Student**
You're too persistent,
following us all the way here!
**[13:03] Kotaro**
Even if you all thought
you were just teasing him,
**[13:05] Song**
*and erase them from here completely.*
**[13:06] Kotaro**
it's hell for the one
on the receiving end.
**[13:09] Student**
Wh-What?
**[13:11] Student**
Besides, that's way past
the statute of limitations!
**[13:14] Kotaro**
There is no statute of
limitations on mental trauma!
**[13:14] Song**
*If everything I look up to in this world*
**[13:18] Song**
*can be saved right now with God's power,*
**[13:19] Student**
Huh?!
**[13:20] Student**
I don't get you at all!
**[13:23] Shadow Knife**
Since you spoke of how it feels to be
bullied, then you should understand.
**[13:23] Song**
*then let me fill that role myself.*
**[13:27] Song**
* Now let's bring the hammer*
* of justice down here.*
**[13:30] Shadow Knife**
The actions I take here
are the path of justice.
**[13:34] Kotaro**
Hold on.
**[13:36] Kotaro**
That doesn't just mean you
can torment them back.
**[13:38] Shadow Knifes**
Crimes should be met with
fitting punishments. Right?
**[13:42] Song**
*The sins in that place without a breeze...*
**[13:43] Shadow Knife**
Those who contributed to bullying...
**[13:45] Shadow Knife**
Those who watched and pretended
it wasn't happening...
**[13:46] Song**
*the sins of those jet black egotists...*
**[13:48] Shadow Knife**
They all...
**[13:50] Shadow Knife**
If you help them, then they'll
just do the same thing again!
**[13:50] Song**
*Know those sins cannot be forgiven.*
**[13:53] Kotaro**
No, I'm saving those in trouble.
**[13:55] Song**
*Now pay the price for staining me black.*
**[13:57] Shadow Knife**
Did you truly believe that
what you were doing was just?
**[14:01] Song**
*Allow me to secretly show you,*
**[14:02] Shadow Knife**
You aided evil, which means...
**[14:07] Shadow Knife**
You are evil as well.
**[14:08] Song**
*this blade that follows karma.*
**[14:09] Shadow Knife**
Your shallow justice is hypocrisy!
**[14:13] Shadow Knife**
Self-deceit!
**[14:21] Aria**
Kotaro!
**[14:22] Mifue**
Kotaro-sempai!
**[14:25] Shadow Knife**
Now, that's enough time
spent playing friends.
**[14:31] Shadow Knife**
Regret your decision when you're in hell.
**[14:36] Wicked**
I-I can't hold back anymore!
**[14:42] Shadow Knife**
Wicked?!
**[14:44] Shadow Knife**
Why now?!
***SIGN*** Even if something has already happened, you can still choose what you do.
**[14:59] Kotono**
Is everyone all right?
**[15:02] Mifue**
Yes, somehow.
**[15:04] Aria**
Kotaro!
**[15:12] Kotaro**
Shadow Knife!
**[15:15] Shadow Knife**
I... I am Shadow Knife, defender of justice.
**[15:18] Shadow Knife**
I won't...
**[15:20] Shadow Knife**
I won't...
**[15:22] Kotaro**
Grab my hand! Hurry!
**[15:25] Shadow Knife**
I punished evil.
**[15:26] Shadow Knife**
I inflicted many times more
suffering than I received.
**[15:31] Kotaro**
Shadow Knife!
**[15:32] Shadow Knife**
They, too...
**[15:34] Shadow Knife**
had big bodies like you and
acted all proud as they...
**[15:38] Kotaro**
No! I...
**[15:40] Shadow Knife**
No...
**[15:42] Shadow Knife**
Why is this happening to me?
**[15:44] Kotaro**
Yamada!
**[15:46] Shadow Knife**
It's just the same in the end.
**[15:49] Shadow Knife**
If those in the real world are shit,
then so are the ones in here.
**[15:55] Shadow Knife**
Help... me...
**[16:20] Kotono**
Stop that already.
**[16:27] Naruko**
He's not dead, right?
**[16:29] Naruko**
You're not able to die here in Mobius, right?
**[16:32] Aria**
I can't sense him anymore.
**[16:35] Suzuna**
B-But he's okay in the real world, right?
**[16:39] Suzuna**
His real body wouldn't die, right?
**[16:42] Aria**
If you lose your life here in Mobius,
**[16:45] Aria**
then the real version goes as well...
**[16:49] Mifue**
No way...
**[16:51] Suzuna**
You mean...
**[16:53] Suzuna**
It's possible that we might have died, too?!
**[16:56] Naruko**
Huh?! I never heard anything about this!
**[16:59] Kotono**
Aria, did you know?
**[17:01] Kotono**
That Mobius was such a dangerous place?
**[17:06] Aria**
Well...
**[17:15] Shogo**
Ichika...
**[17:18] Thorn**
Why are you so afraid?
**[17:21] Shogo**
You!
**[17:23] Thorn**
You haven't changed, not since long ago.
**[17:26] Thorn**
You were always, yes...
**[17:28] Shogo**
Ichika, not again!
**[17:32] Thorn**
What a pathetic man.
**[17:52] Kotaro**
What is this?
**[17:56] Kotaro**
There's no one here.
**[18:04] Mifue**
I thought we were going
to be able to return home.
**[18:06] Aria**
You were, but...
**[18:09] Kensuke**
Without μ, this door won't
lead to the real world, right?
**[18:14] Naruko**
Then, you think those guys knew
we were coming today?
**[18:18] Suzuna**
I get that feeling, too.
**[18:21] Kotaro**
Which means there's someone
who ratted us out to them.
**[18:25] Kotaro**
Was it you, Kensuke?!
**[18:27] Kensuke**
I saw that coming.
**[18:28] Kotaro**
You're the only one possible!
**[18:30] Kotono**
Stop that, Kotaro!
**[18:32] Mifue**
But...
**[18:33] Mifue**
It's true that someone among us had
to share that information, right?
**[18:40] Thorn**
Even after I told you not to.
**[18:42] Thorn**
Wicked, you're a hopeless child.
**[18:46] Thorn**
But now we can settle everything.
**[18:52] Thorn**
They're unable to trust each other anymore.
**[18:58] Mifue**
Well, I'm leaving.
**[19:01] Naruko**
Me, too.
**[19:02] Kotono**
Where did the president go?
**[19:05] Kotaro**
I don't know.
**[19:06] Kotaro**
Maybe he went home ahead of us.
***SIGN*** Messages
***SIGN*** You have a new message.
**[20:13] Kotaro**
What the heck?
**[20:16] Kotaro**
Naruko called us out,
and she's still not here?
**[20:18] Suzuna**
What do you think this is about?
**[20:21] Kotono**
Regardless, it's awfully sudden.
**[20:23] Kotono**
I can't believe μ would approach us.
**[20:26] Kotono**
Shogo, what's going on here?
**[20:29] Shogo**
Why are you asking me?
**[20:31] Kotono**
You were the one who called us here, right?
**[20:33] Kotono**
Saying you got a message from μ...
**[20:35] Shogo**
Me? No, I heard from Kensuke.
**[20:38] Kensuke**
Huh? Me?
**[20:39] Kotaro**
Huh? I got a message that we
were having another hot pot.
**[20:43] Naruko**
Sorry!
**[20:44] Naruko**
I'm late!
**[20:47] Kotaro**
Hey, Naruko! Are you the one behind this?
**[20:50] Naruko**
What?
**[20:51] Kotaro**
Sending fake messages to everyone.
**[20:53] Naruko**
What?!
**[20:54] Izuru**
It's more like she also received
a message from someone else.
**[21:00] Mifue**
What's this?
**[21:02] Mifue**
I never sent anything like this.
**[21:03] Suzuna**
Me neither.
**[21:05] Kotono**
So everyone's been summoned here
by different fake messages?
**[21:08] Izuru**
Who on earth would do this?
**[21:13] Mifue**
I'm going home.
**[21:19] Mifue**
Huh? What?
**[21:21] Mifue**
It won't open.
**[21:27] Kotaro**
Damn!
**[21:28] Kotaro**
It won't budge!
**[21:29] Kotono**
We've been locked in here?
**[21:32] Kensuke**
We've fallen for their trap.
**[21:34] Kotaro**
Damn it!
**[21:35] Kotaro**
This means there really is
a traitor in our midst!
**[21:38] Suzuna**
No way...
**[21:41] Mifue**
Someone had to have leaked information
**[21:44] ---**
back during the night at
Landmark Tower, right?
**[21:46] Naruko**
Huh? Speaking of which...
**[21:49] Naruko**
Hey, where's the president?
***SIGN*** It's finally our turn!

**[00:11] Kotaro**
Damn it!
**[00:14] Kotaro**
What's going on here?!
**[01:48] Kotaro**
Damn it!
**[01:49] Mifue**
Hey, why...
**[01:52] Mifue**
Why don't you give up already?!
**[01:54] Kotaro**
Are you okay with being trapped here?!
**[01:56] Kotono**
Quiet down for a bit.
**[01:59] Kensuke**
I imagine Aria would be able to
do something for us, though.
**[02:03] Kensuke**
She said something like,
"Some of my power's returned!"
**[02:07] Naruko**
Do you think Aria's with the president?
**[02:10] Kotaro**
Are you suggesting those two betrayed us?
**[02:13] Kotaro**
Locking us up in this damn place!
**[02:17] Suzuna**
We shouldn't talk like
that behind their backs.
**[02:20] Kotaro**
But it's suspicious, isn't it?!
**[02:22] Mifue**
That's enough. Now calm
down and figure out a plan—
**[02:25] Kotaro**
How can I calm down?!
**[02:27] Mifue**
That's why we should all figure out a plan.
**[02:28] Kotaro**
Shut up!
**[02:29] Mifue**
This guy's impossible.
**[02:31] Kotaro**
What did you say?!
**[02:32] Kensuke**
Stop!
**[02:33] Kensuke**
That's enough.
**[02:35] Kensuke**
Hey, Shogo-sempai, please say something.
**[02:39] Kensuke**
He's in dire straits, too.
**[02:41] Kotono**
But why would someone do this?
**[02:44] Kotaro**
I told you it's a trap!
**[02:45] Kotaro**
There's a spy among us!
**[02:46] Kotono**
Would you be quiet!
**[02:48] Kotono**
I know you're upset how things
ended up with Shadow Knife,
**[02:51] ---**
but stop taking it out on us!
**[02:53] Kotono**
Er, sorry.
**[02:57] Mifue**
Back then, Shadow Knife
was waiting to ambush us.
**[03:02] Mifue**
There wasn't anyone else
at the Tower, either.
**[03:05] Mifue**
It feels as if they knew everything
we were going to do, right?
**[03:11] Kensuke**
Huh? Me?
**[03:14] Naruko**
Well, you're the one who
brought us information, right?
**[03:16] Naruko**
The spy has to be you, Kensuke-kun!
**[03:20] Kensuke**
And what will you do to me if I am the spy?
**[03:25] Kensuke**
Can we just stop those stupid conversations?
**[03:28] Kotaro**
Quit screwing around, jerk!
**[03:30] Suzuna**
Stop it!
**[03:33] Suzuna**
Doubting each other like that
isn't going to get us out of here.
**[03:44] Kensuke**
Ow.
**[03:46] Kensuke**
You're free to doubt me,
**[03:49] Kensuke**
but I'm trapped in here as well,
you know, Mr. Rescue Man.
**[03:54] Kotaro**
Stop it.
**[03:56] Kensuke**
If only Ritsu-sempai were here.
**[04:02] Naruko**
Hey, Shogo-sempai,
**[04:04] ---**
do you know where the
president and Aria might be?
**[04:10] Mifue**
Can I ask you one thing?
**[04:13] Mifue**
Back at the Tower, when that
Musician, Thorn, appeared...
**[04:16] (Flashback) Thorn**
What a pathetic man.
**[04:20] Mifue**
What was that all about?
**[04:23] Mifue**
*You've known that girl for a while, right?*
**[04:27] Kotono**
No way. Shogo, are you...
**[04:30] Naruko**
Hey, would you say something
already, Shogo-sempai?!
**[04:34] Shogo**
Don't blame me!
**[04:39] Marie**
Um, what's going on here, everyone?
**[04:43] Izuru**
Who's there?
**[04:44] Marie**
U-Um, it's me.
**[04:47] Naruko**
Marie-chan?
**[04:48] Marie**
Yes.
**[04:49] Kotaro**
Hey! We've been trapped in here!
**[04:52] Kotaro**
Get us out of here!
**[04:53] Marie**
Huh? You mean you didn't
lock it from the inside?
**[04:57] Naruko**
What do you mean?
**[04:59] Marie**
It won't budge at all.
**[05:02] Marie**
What's going on here?
**[05:04] Kotaro**
Damn.
**[05:04] Kensuke**
Um, do you know where Ritsu-sempai is?
**[05:07] Marie**
Huh? Shikishima-kun's not in there?
**[05:11] Kotaro**
No, that bastard...
**[05:13] Marie**
I'm worried.
**[05:15] Kotaro**
Please! Find Ritsu for us!
**[05:17] Marie**
All right.
**[05:18] Naruko**
Oh, Marie-chan, hold on.
**[05:23] Naruko**
She's gone.
**[05:28] Kensuke**
Marie-sempai still isn't back, is she?
**[05:32] Naruko**
All because Kotaro-sempai sent her off
**[05:33] ---**
to search for the president without thinking.
**[05:36] Mifue**
We might have been able to
find some means of escape.
**[05:40] Kotaro**
We'll know for sure once she brings him back.
**[05:44] Naruko**
During that battle a month ago,
**[05:47] Naruko**
it seemed as though the president and μ
**[05:49] ---**
had known each other for
a long time, didn't it?
**[05:52] Mifue**
You're right.
**[05:53] Naruko**
Maybe President was deceiving
us from the very beginning.
**[05:59] Kotono**
Maybe so.
**[06:01] Izuru**
You're saying you can't trust our president?
**[06:04] Kotono**
No, that's not it.
**[06:06] Kotono**
I'm saying I can't trust
a single person here.
**[06:12] Kotono**
I mean, that's how it is, right?
**[06:14] Kotono**
We all lived trashy lives
back in the real world,
**[06:19] Kotono**
and we came here to Mobius
to escape from them.
**[06:24] Suzuna**
You can't trust us?
**[06:26] Suzuna**
Not any of the friends you've made
here in the Go-Home Club in Mobius?
**[06:30] Kotono**
Can you?
**[06:31] Suzuna**
Huh?
**[06:32] Kotono**
Ultimately, we've all just decided
**[06:34] ---**
that we want to run away
from this place, too, right?
**[06:37] Naruko**
You're getting too blunt there, you know.
**[06:40] Kotono**
Sorry.
**[06:41] Kotono**
But those are my honest feelings.
**[06:44] Suzuna**
Sh-Shogo-sempai...
**[06:47] Suzuna**
Sempai, do you feel the same way?
**[06:54] Kotaro**
Say something already, damn it!
**[06:58] Shogo**
Our past continues to
haunt us, no matter we go.
**[07:01] Shogo**
No matter how far we run...
**[07:03] Shogo**
No matter where we run to...
**[07:05] Shogo**
I...
**[07:07] Shogo**
I...
**[07:08] Shogo**
I can't escape it!
**[07:10] Shogo**
Not even in Mobius!
**[07:13] Shogo**
In the end both reality and Mobius are shit!
**[07:17] Shogo**
I can't trust anything anymore!
**[07:23] Izuru**
It's just as Kashiwaba and Satake said.
**[07:26] Izuru**
Ultimately, this is just
**[07:27] ---**
a gathering place for people who
have suffered in the real world.
**[07:31] Izuru**
We're all just being kept
alive in this tepid bath
**[07:35] ---**
of whatever μ considers happiness.
**[07:37] Izuru**
Yet even that's just a fabrication.
**[07:42] Kensuke**
Okay, why don't we do this?
**[07:45] Kensuke**
Before we start talking about
trust or lack thereof,
**[07:48] ---**
we really don't know anything
about each other at all, do we?
**[07:52] Kensuke**
So why don't we go ahead and
introduce ourselves again?
**[07:54] Mifue**
Introduce ourselves?
**[07:56] Kensuke**
Yes. I'm incredibly
interested in the reasons
**[07:59] ---**
you all decided to come here.
**[08:01] Kensuke**
And it's a perfect way to kill time, right?
**[08:06] Kotaro**
If that helps us figure out
who the spy is...
**[08:09] Kensuke**
Now, shall we take a look at the darkness
within all our hearts or not?
***SIGN*** Pry into the depths of everyone's hearts?
***SIGN*** Pry
***SIGN*** Don't Pry
**[08:19] Kensuke**
How about it, Sempai?
**[08:24] Shogo**
If you want to listen, then I'll tell you.
**[08:27] Shogo**
The story of a murdering loser.
**[08:29] Kensuke**
You mentioned that to us before, right?
**[08:32] Kensuke**
What do you mean by that?
**[08:34] Shogo**
You're right that I know that woman.
**[08:38] Shogo**
Her real name is Saotome Ichika.
**[08:41] Shogo**
We were classmates back in high school.
**[08:44] Shogo**
*She was a bit of an oddball,*
**[08:46] Shogo**
* but she was one of the few friends*
* I could chat and laugh with.*
**[08:51] Shogo**
She and I were both outsiders in our class.
**[08:54] Shogo**
So we played that off by convincing
ourselves everyone else was crap.
**[08:59] Shogo**
That the entire world was, too.
**[09:02] Shogo**
We'd talk about that together all the time.
**[09:05] Shogo**
But...
**[09:06] Shogo**
that time we spent together was
more precious than anything else.
***SIGN*** Would you like to die with me?
**[09:12] Shogo**
Then one day I got a text from her.
**[09:15] Shogo**
But I was scared...
**[09:18] Shogo**
Scared...
**[09:23] Shogo**
She threw herself off the Tower, and I...
**[09:28] Shogo**
I let her die alone.
**[09:30] Naruko**
You call that murder?
**[09:32] Naruko**
That's not your fault at all, Shogo-sempai!
**[09:35] Shogo**
No.
**[09:37] Shogo**
I wouldn't listen to the one request
from my most treasured friend.
**[09:40] Shogo**
I betrayed Ichika.
**[09:42] Shogo**
So it's the same thing as killing her myself.
**[09:48] Shogo**
Why didn't I go to her back then?!
**[09:50] Shogo**
I regret it more than anything!
**[09:52] Shogo**
I hated it!
**[09:53] Shogo**
And I couldn't set foot outside
my house after that day!
**[09:57] Shogo**
I shut myself in for a long time after that!
**[10:00] Shogo**
I'm just a hopeless coward!
**[10:07] Shogo**
That was when I found μ's songs
on the net and got hooked.
**[10:12] Shogo**
They helped only a little,
**[10:15] ---**
but her songs healed my battered heart.
**[10:18] Kotono**
So that's why you came to Mobius?
**[10:20] Shogo**
Yeah. Mobius erased the bitter
memories just as I wanted.
**[10:26] Shogo**
But then suddenly, Ichika, the woman
I thought dead, appeared before me
**[10:29] ---**
and forced me to remember everything.
**[10:31] Shogo**
It got worse, too.
**[10:32] Shogo**
As if accusing me, she threw
herself off buildings
**[10:36] ---**
over and over again right in front of me.
**[10:39] Shogo**
It was driving me crazy!
**[10:42] Kensuke**
So that's why you wanted
to return to reality?
**[10:45] Shogo**
Yeah. So then I started searching
for other people like me.
**[10:49] Shogo**
And I found you all,
**[10:52] Shogo**
at the entrance ceremony.
**[10:54] Naruko**
You said you've shut yourself in for a long time,
but how old are you actually?
**[11:00] Shogo**
30.
**[11:02] Kotaro**
That's over twice my age!
**[11:03] Shogo**
Twice?
**[11:04] Kotaro**
Uh, no...
**[11:06] Suzuna**
Huh? Kotaro-sempai, you're in middle school?
**[11:09] Naruko**
Which middle school?
**[11:10] Kotaro**
Are you making fun of me?!
**[11:11] Kensuke**
Stop!
**[11:13] Kensuke**
Okay!
**[11:14] Kensuke**
So then why don't we have Kotaro-sempai
tell us about himself next?
**[11:18] Kotaro**
You can skip me.
**[11:19] Kensuke**
Now, don't say that.
**[11:21] Kensuke**
I want to know.
**[11:23] Kensuke**
Why are you so set on being a
hero of justice, Kotaro-sempai?
**[11:29] Kotaro**
I just...
**[11:32] Kotaro**
My father's a rescue worker,
and he's really cool.
**[11:37] Kotaro**
He's huge and strong.
**[11:39] Kotaro**
Yet I'm...
**[11:41] Kotaro**
In reality I'm as small as an
elementary schooler and weak.
**[11:45] Izuru**
Some people just go through
growth spurts later than others.
**[11:48] Kotaro**
That might be true,
**[11:50] Kotaro**
but I can't become a rescue
worker if that's my case!
**[11:53] Kotaro**
My mother and father... both died...
**[11:57] ---**
in an accident.
**[12:00] Kotaro**
So I was adopted by my relatives.
**[12:05] Kotaro**
My body and heart are both still so weak.
**[12:10] Kotaro**
I want to be like my father,
huge and strong, as soon as possible.
**[12:15] Kotaro**
Then I won't be so alone anymore.
**[12:18] Kotaro**
Or at least I want to believe that,
**[12:20] Kotaro**
but I'm just not getting any taller.
**[12:24] Kotaro**
I was wandering through the city
with those thoughts in my head
**[12:29] ---**
when I heard μ's music playing in a store.
**[12:32] Kotaro**
I thought the song was nice.
**[12:34] ---**
It felt like her song was cheering me on.
**[12:38] Kotaro**
Then, before I knew it, I was here.
**[12:41] Kotaro**
I do find it fun in here, but...
**[12:45] Kotaro**
No matter how long I stay here in Mobius,
**[12:48] ---**
I'll never become a rescue worker.
**[12:50] Kotaro**
I'll never become an adult.
**[12:52] Kensuke**
So you want to return to the real world?
**[12:55] Mifue**
But if you go back, you'll be as you were.
**[12:58] Kotaro**
My body will be.
**[13:00] Kotaro**
But not my feelings.
**[13:03] Kotaro**
Right now, I feel as if I could face
anything and give it my best shot!
**[13:08] Mifue**
I kind of understand that feeling, too.
**[13:11] Kensuke**
Oh?
**[13:12] Kensuke**
Then next up is...
**[13:15] Kotaro**
Quit asking about others
and tell us about yourself!
**[13:18] Kensuke**
Me?
**[13:20] Kensuke**
There's not that much to talk about.
**[13:22] Kensuke**
I grew up in an average, ordinary environment
with no particular talent to speak of.
**[13:26] Kotaro**
Just tell us already!
**[13:27] Kensuke**
Fine, fine.
**[13:29] Kensuke**
My parents were ordinary people,
the kind you could find anywhere.
**[13:33] Kensuke**
So ever since I was little, I've thought
I didn't want to end up like them.
**[13:37] Kensuke**
And I thought about taking up a
profession that wasn't ordinary.
**[13:40] Kensuke**
When I told my parents
**[13:41] ---**
I wanted to become a composer and
take the test for a music college,
**[13:44] ---**
they gave me conditions.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Father**
You can barely play the piano as it is.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Father**
Have you given this any serious thought?
**[13:52] (Flashback) Father**
Fine.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Father**
In that case, try actually composing
something. Even if it's just one song.
**[13:59] Kensuke**
In the end, I missed my chance.
**[14:01] Kensuke**
While I was at it, I realized something.
**[14:03] Kensuke**
What I sought was just a cool dream,
**[14:07] ---**
and I was still utterly empty inside.
**[14:09] Kensuke**
Yet as soon as I came to Mobius,
**[14:12] ---**
I was granted the enticing
position of "Musician,"
**[14:14] ---**
and great songs came to me easily.
**[14:16] Kensuke**
Plus, everyone was caught up
in listening to them.
**[14:20] Kensuke**
Man, that felt great!
**[14:22] Mifue**
You realized your dream, then.
**[14:24] Mifue**
So why did you decide to
join the Go-Home Club?
**[14:26] Kensuke**
That's just it.
**[14:28] Kensuke**
When I watched you all struggling to
regain yourselves and return to reality,
**[14:35] ---**
I realized something.
**[14:37] Kensuke**
Ultimately, I'm still empty inside,
even here in Mobius.
**[14:41] Kotaro**
What the heck?!
**[14:42] Kotaro**
Your story really is trivial!
**[14:44] Kotaro**
You've never faced hell in or out of Mobius!
**[14:48] Kensuke**
Hells are as varied as there are people.
**[14:52] Kensuke**
Your hell and my hell are different types.
**[14:59] Mifue**
He's right.
**[15:02] Kensuke**
Pardon me.
**[15:04] Kensuke**
Are you next, Mifue-chan?
**[15:06] Kensuke**
If I recall, you asked μ to
replace your mother, right?
**[15:11] Mifue**
That's—
**[15:11] Naruko**
No! That wasn't Mifue-chan's intention.
**[15:15] ---**
μ misunderstood and—
**[15:16] Mifue**
No...
**[15:18] ---**
Ultimately the one who hurt my mom both
in the real world and here in Mobius
**[15:23] ---**
was none other than myself.
**[15:26] Students**
Hey, hey, is that Mifue-chan's mama?
**[15:29] Mifue**
My real mother is really fat,
**[15:33] Mifue**
and I've always been scared
that I'll end up as fat as she is,
**[15:38] Mifue**
so I ended up being unable
to eat anything at all,
**[15:41] Mifue**
and before I knew it, I was hospitalized.
**[15:43] Mifue**
When I arrived at Mobius
I had a healthy body,
**[15:47] Mifue**
and the mother before me was thin.
**[15:51] Mifue**
But my first mother here wouldn't eat
with me, so she became emaciated.
**[15:56] Mifue**
And then I wanted one that
would eat dinner with me.
**[16:01] Mifue**
So μ quickly granted that wish.
**[16:05] Mifue**
It was my wish.
**[16:06] Mifue**
No, μ was just granting my
own selfish desire, but...
**[16:11] Mifue**
But the first mother I
had here in Mobius, I...
**[16:15] Mifue**
I...
**[16:17] Naruko**
But, Mifue-chan, you went and
apologized to your mother, didn't you?!
**[16:20] Naruko**
So it's fine now.
**[16:22] Mifue**
No, it's not fine yet!
**[16:25] Mifue**
I still haven't been able
to apologize to my mother
**[16:28] ---**
suffering in the real world.
**[16:31] Mifue**
So I want to go back.
**[16:33] Mifue**
I have to go back!
**[16:34] Naruko**
Let's stop this already.
**[16:36] Naruko**
A person's trauma isn't something
to be discussed so casually!
**[16:39] Kensuke**
Aren't you one to talk, Naruko-sempai?
**[16:42] Kensuke**
You've been sniffing around the net for info
**[16:43] ---**
on other people and
uploading it, haven't you?
**[16:45] Naruko**
Th-That's...
**[16:47] Kensuke**
Okay!
**[16:47] Kensuke**
Next is Naruko-sempai!
**[16:52] Naruko**
Back in reality I trolled μ's videos.
**[16:56] Naruko**
That was how I got sucked into Mobius.
**[17:00] Izuru**
You love the net that much?
**[17:02] Naruko**
No, I'd say I actually hate it.
**[17:05] Naruko**
See, my father is a newspaper journalist.
**[17:09] Naruko**
So at school everyone teased me
**[17:11] ---**
and called me the "media trash daughter."
***SIGN*** She's a media trash daughter, so I bet her brain's rotten. I know. You can't underestimate her power, so sucks for you lol She's damn ugly too, so it pisses me off every time I see her. She's nothing but tits and a smartphone.
**[17:15] Naruko**
They wrote awful things about me on the net.
It was incredibly painful.
**[17:20] Naruko**
Yet before I knew it, I had started
posting anonymously, as well.
**[17:26] Naruko**
The net is a strange place.
**[17:28] Naruko**
Soon, it started feeling really
good to slam out invective posts.
**[17:33] Naruko**
After I was at it for a while,
people started liking my posts,
***SIGN*** All those women throwing pity parties for themselves can go to hell.
**[17:37] ---**
and it just made me so happy.
**[17:39] Naruko**
I became full of myself,
thinking I had finally made friends
**[17:41] ---**
that I could talk about anything with.
**[17:42] Naruko**
But the truth of it all was
**[17:45] ---**
that they were the same group of people
writing those nasty things about me.
**[17:50] Naruko**
It's ridiculous.
**[17:52] Naruko**
Here in Mobius, I actually
had quite a bit of fun
**[17:55] ---**
writing different things
for the gossiper.
**[17:57] Shogo**
So why do you want to go back?
**[18:01] Naruko**
What Kotaro-sempai said was right.
**[18:04] Naruko**
I was sniffing around the gossiper
for info to upload about others,
***SIGN*** Narukonnu Currently distributing the info and fun news everyone's interested in! If you've got any scoops or ideas, intel please☆ Running live streams too~→
**[18:07] Naruko**
constantly worrying about my hits,
***SIGN*** Too chaotic! From Gossiper "High School Girls Fool Around With Old Man" is hot now!
**[18:10] Naruko**
but it's not that I really need
recognition from others for doing that.
**[18:15] Naruko**
So I figured it was about
time to end the gossiper.
**[18:18] Kotaro**
Hold on.
**[18:19] Naruko**
Huh?
**[18:20] Kotaro**
You don't have to delete it, do you?
**[18:23] Kotaro**
You know...
**[18:24] Kotaro**
There are cool pictures of me on there.
**[18:27] Naruko**
What the heck?
**[18:29] Naruko**
Wait, you're a middle schooler.
**[18:31] Naruko**
Be polite! Use your polite words!
**[18:33] Kotaro**
Shut up!
**[18:36] Suzuna**
U-Um, can I go next?
**[18:40] Kensuke**
Go right ahead.
**[18:41] Suzuna**
I'm...
**[18:43] Suzuna**
not much different in Mobius
than I am in reality.
**[18:47] Suzuna**
I've always been all alone, with no friends.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Voice**
She's always by herself, isn't she?
**[18:51] (Flashback) Voice**
How isolating. Poor girl.
**[18:52] Suzuna**
But I always hoped that someday
I would make friends with someone
**[18:56] ---**
who could understand and sympathize with me.
**[19:01] Suzuna**
But no one would ask me
to eat lunch with them.
**[19:06] Kotaro**
That's why you did that with Shonen Doll.
**[19:09] Suzuna**
Komori-kun is the first friend I ever made.
**[19:14] Suzuna**
So I really... did have fun with him.
**[19:17] Suzuna**
Also, thanks to that...
**[19:22] Suzuna**
Even if I go back, I think
I can move forward now.
**[19:28] Izuru**
Move forward, huh?
**[19:30] Izuru**
That's true.
**[19:31] Kensuke**
Oh?
**[19:32] Kensuke**
Weren't you the one just saying,
"yet even that is a fabrication"?
**[19:36] Izuru**
IkeP told me...
**[19:39] Izuru**
That even if this is fake, it's his justice.
**[19:42] Kensuke**
That reminds me,
**[19:45] ---**
IkeP was always occupied with
your looks, Izuru-sempai.
**[19:49] Izuru**
These looks are meaningless.
**[19:51] Izuru**
They only make me feel even more unpleasant.
**[19:54] Izuru**
Back in the real world, my life
was controlled by my mother,
**[19:58] Izuru**
and I wasn't allowed to do
anything of my choosing.
**[20:01] Izuru**
There wasn't a single thing
I ever accomplished for myself.
**[20:06] Izuru**
Except for one time...
**[20:14] Izuru**
There was one sole action
I took of my own volition.
**[20:19] Izuru**
I carved proof that I was
my own person into my cheek.
**[20:24] Izuru**
Yet μ thought that was a wound.
**[20:28] Izuru**
Over and over, it would go
back to the way it was.
**[20:31] Izuru**
But without that scar,
I can't prove I'm alive!
**[20:39] Izuru**
How a person feels about things
differs with every individual,
**[20:42] Izuru**
so in the end, it isn't possible
to fully understand one another.
**[20:46] Izuru**
Even so,
**[20:48] Izuru**
my desire to return to the
real world is the same.
**[20:50] Izuru**
That fact alone makes it worthwhile
to work together, in my mind.
**[20:56] Kensuke**
I see.
**[20:58] Kensuke**
Well, the last one left is Kotono-sempai.
**[21:01] Kotono**
It's a stupid story.
**[21:03] Kotono**
Do you all still want to hear it?
**[21:05] Kensuke**
Telling us that just makes us
want to hear it more.
**[21:09] Kensuke**
If I recall, Ritsu-sempai said something
about a "Caligula effect."
**[21:17] Kotaro**
Mizuguchi, well done!
**[21:19] Mifue**
How'd you get it to open?!
**[21:20] Marie**
Shut up.
**[21:21] Mifue**
Huh?
**[21:22] Marie**
I'm through.
**[21:24] Marie**
This farce of comparing
tear-jerking revelations
**[21:27] Marie**
makes my skin crawl!
**[21:44] Naruko**
Marie-chan?
**[21:46] Wicked**
Die!

Huh?

Marie-chan, why are you doing this?
**[07:22] Wicked**
Because I wanted to see that look

**[07:25] Wicked**
I've been playing along

**[09:23] Song**
*with the palm of my hand!*
**[09:25] Thorn**
Don't lay a hand on Satake Shogo.
**[09:26] Song**
*Everyone will find their hearts entranced*
**[09:29] Song**
*by this ultimate stage.*
**[09:30] Wicked**
Whatever.
**[09:32] Wicked**
There's still plenty of other toys here.
**[09:35] Wicked**
I'll play with you all until you break.
**[09:41] Tachibana**
Shikishima... Ritsu...
**[09:44] Ritsu**
Th-The program...
**[09:46] Tachibana**
Huh?
**[09:47] Ritsu**
M-Mine's not enough...
**[09:49] Ritsu**
I'm blocked from accessing
the s-system program.
**[09:54] Tachibana**
What are you talking about?
**[09:56] Tachibana**
More importantly, how are you here?!
**[09:58] Ritsu**
G-Give me admin... p-privileges.
**[10:02] Ritsu**
H-Hurry...
**[10:04] Tachibana**
Can you hear me, Shikishima?
**[10:07] Tachibana**
There hasn't been a single case of an
Astral Syndrome patient recovering.
**[10:10] Tachibana**
So how are you...
**[10:12] Ritsu**
Hurry. I-I need a-administrator privileges.
**[10:17] Tachibana**
Listen, answer my question!
**[10:20] Tachibana**
How are you here?
**[10:22] Tachibana**
How did you get in here?!
***SIGN*** System Development Team Tachibana Shingo
**[10:26] Tachibana**
You were the one following me, weren't you?
**[10:29] Tachibana**
I thought it was that persistent press again.
**[10:32] Ritsu**
I-I really need them.
**[10:35] Ritsu**
I have to do this, for everyone's sake.
**[10:43] Tachibana**
The company's been in big trouble
ever since you fell asleep.
**[10:47] Tachibana**
The public's been railing at us,
and our close team disbanded.
**[10:52] Tachibana**
As you can see, everyone's left me now.
**[10:58] Ritsu**
A-Activate it.
**[11:00] Tachibana**
Come on, listen!
**[11:02] Ritsu**
Hurry...
**[11:11] Shogo**
Ichika...
**[11:16] Thorn**
Shogo, are you pointing a gun at me?
**[11:26] Tachibana**
Is that what you wanted?
**[11:27] Tachibana**
H-Hey!
**[11:37] Tachibana**
It's about time, isn't it?
**[11:38] Tachibana**
If you talk to me, then I'll do
anything I can do to help you.
**[11:46] Tachibana**
I'm fully aware that you're
an incredible programmer,
**[11:50] Tachibana**
but that doesn't mean you need
to take it all on yourself, right?
**[11:55] (Flashback) Counselor**
You have difficulty interacting with others?
**[11:58] (Flashback) Counselor**
Why don't you start out
by casually approaching them?
**[12:03] (Flashback) Counselor**
Once you do, I think
you'll find a new perspective.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Counselor**
As I've told you before,
**[12:08] (Flashback) ---**
you should give yourself a bit more credit.
**[12:15] (Flashback) Counselor**
You're always comparing yourself to others,
**[12:19] (Flashback) ---**
but everyone has their own issues.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Counselor**
There isn't a single person in this world
who doesn't carry some worry or problem.
**[12:29] Ritsu**
*It's my fault μ...*
**[12:31] Ritsu**
*She just wants to make everyone happy.*
**[12:35] Ritsu**
I have to restore her.
**[12:36] Ritsu**
I have to patch her.
**[12:39] Ritsu**
Back to the kind μ she was.
**[12:43] Tachibana**
You look distraught, but it's better
if you don't take it all on yourself.
**[12:48] Tachibana**
Rely on me. We were on
the same team, right?
**[12:52] Tachibana**
It was a constant streak of all-nighters,
**[12:54] Tachibana**
but even that was fun.
**[12:57] Tachibana**
We were all partners in
developing μ together, weren't we?
**[13:00] Ritsu**
Y-You always did that.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Tachibana**
Hey, you come, too!
**[13:16] (Flashback) Worker**
Forget about him.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Worker**
He seems to prefer being alone, anyway.
**[13:20] (Flashback) Tachibana**
You're right. Sorry.
**[13:28] Ritsu**
You always paid attention to me,
**[13:30] ---**
because I was lonely.
**[13:32] Ritsu**
That made me miserable.
**[13:35] Ritsu**
You tiptoed around me.
**[13:39] Ritsu**
I was always a social outcast,
**[13:41] ---**
and you w-were always in the spotlight.
**[13:45] Ritsu**
You were so bright that
it felt like you were rubbing it in.
**[13:48] Tachibana**
Shikishima...
**[14:00] Wicked**
Too bad!
**[14:03] Wicked**
I've been wanting to play with you,
**[14:05] ---**
so I've rigged up fireworks
throughout the school!
**[14:07] Wicked**
Let's have even more fun together!
**[14:11] Wicked**
That's the spirit, Traitor-kun!
**[14:14] Kensuke**
You betrayed us too, Marie-sempai!
**[14:20] Wicked**
Bye-bye!
**[14:25] Naruko**
Kensuke-kun...
**[14:29] Wicked**
This is too good!
**[14:31] Wicked**
Here in this world, I can run
wild as much as I want!
**[14:35] Wicked**
I can move my arms and legs freely!
**[14:38] Wicked**
I can break whatever I want!
**[14:41] Wicked**
The more the better!
**[14:43] Wicked**
The only time I feel alive is
**[14:47] ---**
when I'm crushing little critters like you all!
**[14:50] Wicked**
Now, time to enjoy this!
**[14:59] Kensuke**
Man, hot-blooded developments
really aren't my style.
**[15:03] Suzuna**
Kensuke-kun.
**[15:05] Kotono**
Hey, is that...
**[15:07] Kensuke**
Oh, looks like I'm able to do it, too.
**[15:12] Kotaro**
You really are shallow.
**[15:16] Kensuke**
I get that a lot.
**[15:18] Wicked**
Hey, don't ruin the party.
**[15:21] Wicked**
I still haven't had enough fun yet.
**[15:24] Kensuke**
My apologies,
**[15:26] ---**
but we're already worn out
and near our limits.
**[15:30] Kensuke**
So I'm going to use those fireworks there.
**[15:33] Kensuke**
If I recall,
**[15:35] ---**
you set some explosives up
right beneath your feet, Sempai.
**[15:49] Wicked**
Not enough!
**[15:51] Wicked**
I can still keep going and going!
**[15:53] Wicked**
Let's enjoy this world more and more!
**[15:57] Naruko**
Marie-chan—
**[16:00] Wicked**
Don't pity me!
**[16:02] Wicked**
I'll kill you!
**[16:04] Wicked**
I'll kill you for sure!
**[16:06] Izuru**
Morita, let's go. It's dangerous.
**[16:15] Wicked**
Have you ever experienced it?!
**[16:17] Wicked**
Having your family wish for your death!
**[16:23] Wicked**
Have you?!
**[16:32] Shogo**
Ichika, I'm sorry.
**[16:35] Shogo**
There's nothing I can ever
do to pay for my sin.
**[16:39] Shogo**
I understand why you would hate me.
**[16:42] Shogo**
I can understand that your happiness
is to see me suffer as well.
**[16:46] Shogo**
But how did you...
**[16:48] Shogo**
How did a dead person manage
to come here to Mobius?
**[16:52] Shogo**
I can't understand that.
**[16:54] Shogo**
But...
**[16:56] Shogo**
But let's end this already.
**[16:59] Thorn**
Be quiet! Ichika still exists!
**[17:02] Thorn**
Ichika lives on here, here in Mobius!
**[17:09] Shogo**
Who... are you?
**[17:15] SweetP**
If they don't they stop the Rogues soon,
**[17:17] ---**
then both μ and Mobius
will steadily get crazier.
**[17:20] IkeP**
Huh? Justice always saves
the world from a crisis!
**[17:24] IkeP**
Let's go, everyone!
**[17:26] Mirei**
You're annoying, so stop taking charge.
**[17:33] Ritsu**
I hated this world.
**[17:36] Ritsu**
The commuter trains, everyone at work,
**[17:39] ---**
the counseling room full of plants,
greasy smelling ramen,
**[17:44] Ritsu**
as well as you and your kindness.
**[17:48] Ritsu**
Though, what I hated most of all
**[17:52] Ritsu**
was myself, and my inability to fit into reality.
**[17:56] Ritsu**
μ was all I had.
**[17:59] Ritsu**
She was my only...
**[18:03] (Flashback) Ritsu**
I'm happy.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Ritsu**
Since you're listening to me talk.
**[18:08] (Flashback) Ritsu**
What's happiness?
**[18:10] (Flashback) Ritsu**
It's hard to define.
**[18:13] (Flashback) Both**
For instance? When do people feel happiness?
**[18:17] (Flashback) Ritsu**
Well...
**[18:19] (Flashback) Ritsu**
Normally, they feel happiness
**[18:23] (Flashback) ---**
when they eat good food.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Both**
So is good food happiness?
**[18:28] (Flashback) Ritsu**
Yeah...
**[18:29] (Flashback) Ritsu**
Also, having a pretty, cute girlfriend...
**[18:33] (Flashback) Both**
Pretty and cute?
**[18:35] (Flashback) Ritsu**
A-Also, when realizing oneself...
**[18:38] (Flashback) Ritsu**
When you're able to become
who you want to be.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Both**
You don't want pain or suffering?
**[18:45] (Flashback) Ritsu**
No, it's better without those.
**[18:48] μ**
* I want to know more and more*
* about happiness, Ritsu!*
**[18:56] Ritsu**
Then, she left.
**[18:59] Ritsu**
To change people's suffering
and sadness into happiness.
**[19:03] Ritsu**
She left me.
***SIGN*** Breaking News

**[19:06] Ritsu**
When everyone was being taken away one after another, I thought...
**[19:10] Ritsu**
"Next will be me."
**[19:11] Ritsu**
"My turn is next."
**[19:14] Ritsu**
But no matter how long I waited,
**[19:18] ---**
μ wouldn't take me into Mobius.
**[19:21] Tachibana**
Mobius?
**[19:22] Ritsu**
So I went to Mobius myself.
**[19:27] Ritsu**
I bid farewell to my most hated self,
**[19:30] ---**
cast aside my memories of being me, and became who I wanted to be.
**[19:36] Ritsu**
I became you—someone well-adjusted and well-liked by everyone.
**[19:42] Ritsu**
So I could meet her again.
**[19:48] Ritsu**
But, I realized something.
**[19:51] Ritsu**
What μ was creating was fake happiness.
**[19:55] Ritsu**
I can't let μ keep doing that.
**[19:59] Ritsu**
So...
**[20:00] Ritsu**
I'm going to restore μ!
**[20:02] Tachibana**
Restore?
**[20:04] Tachibana**
You mean...
**[20:06] Tachibana**
Have you figured it out?!
**[20:07] Tachibana**
What's causing that disease?!
**[20:10] Tachibana**
It has to be something in μ's program, right?
**[20:12] Tachibana**
Then there has to be something I can do, too!
**[20:15] Tachibana**
Let's work together and patch her!
**[20:17] Tachibana**
Together we'll patch μ's program!
**[20:19] Ritsu**
I will!
**[20:21] Ritsu**
I have to do this!
**[20:24] Ritsu**
If I don't, then I won't be able to change.
**[20:27] Ritsu**
I'll never be able to change.
**[20:30] Ritsu**
I have to save them!
μ and everyone else!
**[20:37] Tachibana**
I'll go make some coffee.
**[20:41] Tachibana**
You've changed, Shikishima.
**[20:45] Ritsu**
Where is it?
**[20:46] Ritsu**
This part's functioning normally,
**[20:48] Ritsu**
so is it the code?
**[20:50] Ritsu**
Argh, dammit! What's different?!
**[20:52] Ritsu**
What is causing this abnormality?
**[20:54] Ritsu**
What do I do?
**[20:56] Ritsu**
How can I hear your voice again?
**[20:59] Ritsu**
Answer me, μ!
**[21:02] Ritsu**
I need to patch μ.
**[21:06] Ritsu**
She's singing about
that happiness so gleefully.
**[21:10] Ritsu**
I have to stop her.
**[21:12] Ritsu**
I do.
**[21:13] Ritsu**
I do.
**[21:14] Ritsu**
I do.
**[21:15] Ritsu**
Because I made her!
**[21:20] Aria**
*I finally managed to hear your real voice.*
**[21:26] Aria**
*It was hard, wasn't it?*
**[21:27] Aria**
*It hurt, didn't it?*
**[21:29] Aria**
*Those dark, muddy feelings have reached me.*
**[21:33] Aria**
*So you should tell her directly.*
**[21:37] Aria**
*Let's go back, to Mobius.*
**[23:11] μ**
You can be happy in Mobius.
**[23:14] μ**
Everyone should be in here.
**[23:17] μ**
Forever, forever inside me.
**[23:24] μ**
Right, Ritsu?

**[00:17] μ**
This is for the best,
**[00:19] μ**
right, everyone?
**[00:30] Aria**
Mobius has begun to collapse.
**[00:34] Aria**
μ is disoriented, and she can't
control the world anymore.
**[02:15] Ritsu**
You seem different.
**[02:18] Aria**
I've regained my powers and memories.
**[02:21] Aria**
Which also proves that
μ is in terrible shape.
**[02:27] Ritsu**
But your body hasn't been restored.
**[02:29] Aria**
Jeez, you had to say that?
**[02:31] Aria**
What about you, Ritsu?
**[02:33] Ritsu**
I've remembered.
**[02:35] Ritsu**
That it might be my fault
μ ended up that way.
**[02:44] Ritsu**
Back in reality, I could never
socialize well with others.
**[02:51] Ritsu**
I could go days before realizing
something was wrong with my throat,
**[02:56] Ritsu**
because I didn't speak to others.
**[02:59] Ritsu**
I was like a decorative plant
in the corner of the room,
**[03:03] ---**
just living without anyone noticing.
**[03:07] Ritsu**
Then one day I heard μ's voice.
**[03:11] Ritsu**
It was the first time I felt
connected to someone else.
**[03:15] Ritsu**
μ would happily listen to me talk.
**[03:18] Ritsu**
She answered kindly.
**[03:21] Ritsu**
I felt as if the words I could
never share with others
**[03:24] ---**
were able to reach μ alone.
**[03:28] Ritsu**
It's difficult, isn't it?
Putting your thoughts into words.
**[03:34] Aria**
Hey, why did you return
to reality by yourself?
**[03:37] Ritsu**
I didn't know how to explain
things about me and μ.
**[03:42] Ritsu**
Besides, this is something only I can do.
**[03:46] Ritsu**
Something I have to do.
**[03:48] Aria**
Ritsu...
**[03:50] Ritsu**
I wasn't able to stop μ in the end.
**[03:54] (Flashback) μ**
I want to make everyone happy!
**[03:57] (Flashback) μ**
Hey, Ritsu? What should I do?
**[04:01] Ritsu**
I couldn't give her a proper answer.
**[04:03] (Flashback) μ**
Don't worry!
**[04:05] (Flashback) μ**
Whatever your wish, I'll grant it!
**[04:08] (Flashback) μ**
With my songs!
**[04:14] Aria**
In that case,
**[04:15] Aria**
this time you need to confront μ
**[04:18] ---**
and tell her how you feel.
**[04:21] Aria**
I'm sure it'll reach μ!
**[04:23] Ritsu**
Yeah.
**[04:24] Aria**
So Ritsu, please take care of μ.
**[04:30] Kensuke**
If this keeps up and Mobius is destroyed,
will we be able to go home?
**[04:35] Mifue**
You think we will?
**[04:37] Naruko**
If that's true, then we can just stay here.
**[04:39] Kotaro**
Have you forgotten what happened to Yamada?!
**[04:42] Kotaro**
If this place goes away, we vanish with it.
**[04:48] Kotono**
I'm the only one
**[04:51] ---**
who hasn't spoken about my real self, right?
**[04:54] Kotono**
You see, I'm a single mother.
**[04:58] Kotono**
My child's name is Tak-kun.
**[05:01] Kotono**
Back there, I've never done a single
motherly thing for my child.
**[05:08] Kotono**
Even though he's my child,
I resented him at times.
**[05:12] Kotono**
I really regret it now.
**[05:16] Kotono**
He might not ever forgive me.
**[05:19] Kotono**
But I have to go home to reality
**[05:22] ---**
and give Tak-kun another hug!
**[05:27] SweetP**
You're all so annoying!
**[05:29] IkeP**
I'll send you all to Heaven!
**[05:32] Naruko**
Man, I think your Heaven's in trouble here.
**[05:36] Mirei**
Be quiet! Enough nonsense!
**[05:40] IkeP**
We'll save this world from its crisis!
**[05:45] Mifue**
We need to run soon, too.
**[05:47] IkeP**
Huh?! To where?!
**[05:49] IkeP**
There's no save point here for us!
**[05:52] Suzuna**
At this rate, we're all going to disappear.
**[05:54] Mirei**
Once we defeat those of you
rejecting μ, rejecting this world,
**[05:58] ---**
the distortion in this world will be fixed!
**[06:00] Mirei**
We won't let it end!
**[06:01] Kotono**
That's right! We won't let it end here.
**[06:05] Kotono**
We're going back!
**[06:10] Izuru**
We're all alike.
**[06:13] Izuru**
We all have something
we refuse to surrender.
**[06:16] Izuru**
What's different is only whether reality
**[06:21] ---**
or Mobius is what affirms us.
**[06:24] Izuru**
We're going back to reality
to live our lives!
**[06:48] μ**
Everyone's pain!
**[07:01] Song**
*This scenery plastered with kind lies,*
**[07:03] Thorn**
You're going to face the sins
you've committed in reality?
**[07:04] Song**
*and a daily life continuing forever*
**[07:06] Song**
*carries the absurdity of reality*
**[07:07] Thorn**
Your sins won't go away.
**[07:08] Song**
*away to a far, far away world.*
**[07:09] Song**
Ichika will never forgive you.
**[07:11] Song**
*My love for you*
**[07:13] Song**
*is enough to drive me.*
**[07:13] Thorn**
So you'll never be able to escape
your suffering while you live.
**[07:15] Song**
*My hate for you*
**[07:17] Thorn**
Drop dead, Shogo.
**[07:17] Song**
*is enough to make me ache.*
**[07:19] Shogo**
Are you Natsume Asuka?
**[07:20] Song**
*Some might say this is all fake,*
**[07:22] Song**
*but if it heals this grief away,*
**[07:24] Song**
* I'll become dependent on*
* its continued deception.*
**[07:24] Shogo**
Natsume, why... are you... in here?
**[07:26] Song**
*See? It doesn't hurt anymore.*
**[07:29] Thorn**
Why did Ichika choose to die
with you instead of me?
**[07:29] Song**
*My urge to love you*
**[07:31] Song**
*is more priceless than anything*
**[07:33] Thorn**
If she had chosen me, I could have
passed on with her at the end.
**[07:33] Song**
*My urge to hate you*
**[07:35] Song**
*is more unbearable than anything.*
**[07:37] Song**
*This is an endless Mobius strip.*
**[07:37] Thorn**
So then,
**[07:39] Thorn**
why did she choose a coward like you?
**[07:42] Thorn**
Why?
**[07:43] Thorn**
Why?
**[07:46] Thorn**
And then there's you!
**[07:46] Song**
*So why do you want to run away?*
**[07:47] Thorn**
After walking all over her feelings,
**[07:49] ---**
you let her die all by herself!
**[07:50] Song**
*When all the happiness in the world is here?*
**[07:57] Song**
*She smiles...*
**[07:58] Song**
* A world without you,*
* without you, without you...*
**[08:00] Thorn**
Shogo, you understand, don't you?
**[08:02] Song**
* I won't accept it. I won't accept it!*
* See, you're here, aren't you?*
**[08:03] Thorn**
Ichika is still alive.
**[08:06] Thorn**
I can't tolerate a world without Ichika.
**[08:07] Song**
* As long as you're here, as long as*
* you're here, as long as you're here...*
**[08:10] Song**
*I don't need anything else.*
**[08:10] Thorn**
But she's in here.
**[08:11] Song**
* May this miniature garden*
* where you smile last forever.*
**[08:12] Thorn**
Even now, she's by my side.
**[08:16] Thorn**
I won't let anyone interfere
with our happiness!
**[08:21] Shogo**
I know I ran!
**[08:23] Shogo**
I was scared.
**[08:24] Shogo**
I didn't know what to do.
**[08:26] Shogo**
That's why I came to this world.
**[08:29] Thorn**
No, no! I'm the one who invited you here!
**[08:33] Thorn**
That has to be the truth!
**[08:34] Song**
*Our peaceful days are eroding away,*
**[08:37] Song**
*and you can't just ignore it.*
**[08:39] Thorn**
Drop dead, Shogo!
**[08:39] Song**
*Why are you rejecting happiness?*
**[08:41] Song**
*You could just stay and wait here.*
**[08:43] Thorn**
You will never find peace for all eternity!
**[08:48] Thorn**
Besides, what can a coward
like you possibly do
**[08:52] ---**
when you return to reality?!
**[08:52] Song**
*Even if it's distorted...*
**[08:54] Thorn**
There's no place for you there!
**[08:55] Song**
*Even if it's rotten...*
**[08:56] Thorn**
Mobius is finished, too.
**[08:57] Song**
*Even if it's stagnant...*
**[08:58] Thorn**
Even μ can't fully support it anymore.
**[08:59] Song**
*It's still happiness.*
**[09:01] Song**
* What do you hope to accomplish*
* by finding an end?*
**[09:02] Thorn**
She's endured well, considering that delicate body.
**[09:06] Thorn**
I wasn't able to be closest to
Ichika when her time came,
**[09:10] Song**
* You don't want to go back to horrible form*
* spreading resentment everywhere, do you?*
**[09:11] Thorn**
but this time it's different.
**[09:13] Thorn**
This time!
**[09:15] Thorn**
So let's enjoy these final moments, Shogo.
**[09:20] Song**
*She's ticked...*
**[09:21] Song**
* A world without you,*
* without you, without you...*
**[09:26] Song**
* Never existed...*
* Never existed from the start.*
**[09:30] Izuru**
Satake!
**[09:30] Song**
* You're not here... You're not here...*
* You're not here,*
**[09:32] Thorn**
Farewell, Shogo.
**[09:34] Song**
*Shut up!*
**[09:35] Song**
*I'll stab a knife into that
persistent buzz again today!*
**[09:41] Shogo**
Ritsu...
**[09:44] Suzuna**
President!
**[09:46] Suzuna**
You're okay!
**[09:47] Naruko**
Jeez! Where did you go?!
**[09:49] Kotaro**
I thought you betrayed us!
**[09:52] Ritsu**
Sorry, everyone.
**[09:54] Thorn**
You came back?
**[09:57] Ritsu**
Yeah.
**[09:59] Ritsu**
There are still things
I need to do in this world.
***SIGN*** Destroy your ideals and self,
and return to hell and reality.
**[10:04] Song**
*Oh, wandering heart,*
**[10:08] Thorn**
Things you need to do?
**[10:08] Song**
*forget about everything,*
**[10:10] Thorn**
What can you possibly do?
**[10:12] Thorn**
Can't you hear it?
**[10:13] Song**
* view only your ideals in this*
* world guided by this song.*
**[10:15] Thorn**
The dying screams of Mobius,
μ's song of demise?
**[10:25] Thorn**
It's over. All of it.
**[10:28] ---**
Along with Mobius.
**[10:30] μ**
I'll take everyone's unhappiness.
**[10:31] Song**
*It was so painful, wasn't it?*
**[10:32] Thorn**
...and I'll turn it into song.
**[10:35] μ**
Lament, sorrow...
**[10:35] Song**
*It was so sad, wasn't it?*
**[10:37] Thorn**
hatred, all of it...
**[10:39] Both**
I'll accept it for you!
**[10:40] Song**
*I'll accept it in place of your tears.*
**[10:49] Song**
*What do you seek?*
**[10:54] Song**
*What do you wish to become?*
**[10:56] Mirei**
H-Hey, Thorn?
**[10:59] ---**
What are you doing?
**[10:59] Song**
*I'll grant your wish,*
**[11:04] Song**
*so tell me.*
**[11:10] Song**
*CRY!*
**[11:12] Song**
*I can't not scream!*
**[11:16] Song**
*I can't not sing!*
**[11:16] SweetP**
No way!
**[11:18] Song**
* I'll scoop up your words*
* as they wilt away, so*
**[11:24] Suzuna**
Komori-kun!
**[11:24] Song**
* Cry! As if you're screaming,*
* as if you're singing,*
**[11:25] Shounen Doll**
We're going to eat lunch
together, right, Suzuna?
**[11:29] Suzuna**
N-No!
**[11:31] Song**
* in this never ending, always*
* repeating, Shangri-La.*
**[11:46] Thorn**
Shogo!
**[11:48] Shogo**
Natsume, give up already.
**[11:58] Kotono**
N-No way...
**[12:10] Naruko**
μ...
**[12:12] Kotaro**
Oh crap!
**[12:15] SweetP**
Save me, μ!
**[12:17] IkeP**
Hey, μ! What's happened to you?!
**[12:20] μ**
It's all right.
**[12:22] μ**
You won't have to suffer anymore.
**[12:26] μ**
I'm going to make you all happy.
**[12:30] μ**
Inside me!
**[12:38] Naruko**
Aria!
**[12:40] Aria**
Go alive!
**[12:48] Shogo**
Natsume, you're right.
**[12:51] ---**
My sin will never go away.
**[12:54] Shogo**
But even so, I have to face it.
**[12:58] Shogo**
In reality, not here in Mobius.
**[13:04] Thorn**
I don't want to live in
a world without Ichika.
**[13:11] Aria**
I'm leaving the rest to you!
**[13:13] Ritsu**
Yeah, I know.
**[13:15] Aria**
Ritsu, make sure to tell her!
**[13:18] Aria**
Reach μ's heart!
**[13:26] Ritsu**
μ, can you hear me?
**[13:30] Ritsu**
It's just the two of us now.
**[13:33] Ritsu**
That was how it started.
**[13:35] Ritsu**
Back then, I really just
spoke to you for no reason.
**[13:40] Ritsu**
I never even imagined that
you would respond back.
**[13:44] Ritsu**
So I was really surprised
**[13:47] ---**
and spilled my coffee.
**[13:49] Ritsu**
That's why my first memories
of you smell like coffee.
**[13:55] Ritsu**
We chatted about a lot of things, didn't we?
**[13:58] Ritsu**
Like how I found a kitten abandoned
in a park on my way to work,
**[14:03] Ritsu**
but I couldn't take it in.
**[14:05] Ritsu**
I was still worried about it, so I
went back to the park during lunch,
**[14:10] Ritsu**
but the kitten was gone.
**[14:12] Ritsu**
When I was upset with regret, you spoke to me.
**[14:17] Ritsu**
You said, "It's all right."
**[14:19] Ritsu**
Those words really saved me.
**[14:23] Ritsu**
But I imagine you probably didn't really know
**[14:27] ---**
whether that kitten was all right.
**[14:30] Ritsu**
Your words were simply
what I wanted to hear most.
**[14:45] Ritsu**
μ...
**[14:48] ---**
You asked me what happiness is, right?
**[14:53] Ritsu**
Back in reality, and even in here,
**[14:55] Ritsu**
I couldn't give you a proper answer.
**[15:00] Ritsu**
So let's talk about happiness once more.
**[15:10] Ritsu**
μ, I...
**[15:12] ---**
always wanted someone to listen my thoughts.
**[15:18] Ritsu**
Yet despite that, I didn't want to let anyone,
even you, get too close to me.
**[15:22] Ritsu**
I kept that darkness constantly
hidden in my heart.
**[15:27] Ritsu**
Here in Mobius, I borrowed my coworker's
words to desperately hide that,
**[15:32] ---**
and I continued to fake who I was.
**[15:35] Ritsu**
That's why I've never been able
to tell you what I truly feel.
**[15:43] Ritsu**
The old me...
**[15:44] Ritsu**
No, even now,
**[15:47] ---**
I'm constantly longing for
others to understand me.
**[15:53] Ritsu**
But I know that's a dream
that'll never come true.
**[15:57] Ritsu**
So I debate about it,
agonize over it, and struggle.
**[16:03] Ritsu**
In other words, even in this world,
**[16:05] ---**
I can't say I'm happy yet.
**[16:08] Ritsu**
But that's because...
**[16:21] Ritsu**
But μ, that's because we're wrong.
**[16:27] Ritsu**
It's probably impossible for others
to understand a person completely.
**[16:32] Ritsu**
Sadly enough.
**[16:34] Ritsu**
But everyone wants to be closer to others,
**[16:38] Ritsu**
so they try learning psychology;
**[16:41] Ritsu**
they try expressing themselves online;
**[16:43] Ritsu**
they try to find answers in stories;
**[16:46] Ritsu**
they try all kinds of different things.
**[16:50] Ritsu**
Because it's lonely being on your own.
**[16:53] Ritsu**
Because you want someone to understand you.
**[16:56] Ritsu**
True happiness is something...
**[17:01] Ritsu**
Something that people
search out for themselves
**[17:04] ---**
in their own ways.
**[17:07] Ritsu**
It's not something that can
ever be granted by another.
**[17:11] Ritsu**
Words are hard.
**[17:14] Ritsu**
You can like and hate the same thing.
**[17:17] Ritsu**
Weakness also exists within strength.
**[17:22] Ritsu**
Painful wounds of the body are different
from painful wounds of the heart.
**[17:27] Ritsu**
And wounds themselves have
many different meanings as well.
**[17:30] Ritsu**
Even the word "happiness"
**[17:33] ---**
has a different meaning to every person.
**[17:42] Ritsu**
So my happiness is...
**[17:54] Ritsu**
When I came here and got involved
with everyone in the Go-Home Club,
**[17:57] Ritsu**
it was difficult prying into them.
**[18:00] Ritsu**
I imagine that was likely
someone else's role.
**[18:04] Ritsu**
But even so!
**[18:06] Ritsu**
I wanted to understand them!
**[18:16] Ritsu**
μ, what was going through your
mind as you created Mobius?
**[18:20] Ritsu**
How strongly have you longed for happiness?
**[18:25] Ritsu**
Maybe my words aren't reaching you.
**[18:29] Ritsu**
But I'll keep telling you!
**[18:32] Ritsu**
This time I won't make that mistake!
**[18:34] Ritsu**
I'll tell you with my very own words!
**[18:43] μ**
It's strange.
**[18:44] μ**
Everyone in the Go-Home
Club wants to go home,
**[18:47] ---**
but they're also a little
afraid of going back.
**[18:50] μ**
The Musicians supposedly
want to stay in this world,
**[18:54] ---**
but occasionally they look lonely.
**[18:57] μ**
White and black.
**[18:59] μ**
It's strange and complicated.
**[19:01] Ritsu**
That's how the human mind is.
**[19:05] Ritsu**
We long for our own happiness,
while simultaneously fearing it.
**[19:10] Ritsu**
Some are even cheered on by adversity,
while lamenting their misfortune.
**[19:15] Ritsu**
For humans, our minds are complicated.
**[19:25] Ritsu**
μ, I've come back to destroy this paradise
**[19:30] ---**
and return to the real world.
**[19:35] μ**
Hey, Ritsu?
**[19:37] μ**
Was this world...
**[19:39] μ**
Was Mobius fun?
**[19:42] Ritsu**
Yeah, it was fun.
**[19:44] Ritsu**
But this is still Mobius.
**[19:51] μ**
You're right.
**[19:54] Ritsu**
This time, I'll tell you what I wanted to say
**[19:57] ---**
without running away from it.
**[20:01] Ritsu**
I love you, μ.
**[20:05] Song**
*My heartbeat resonates through the sky,*
**[20:10] Song**

That smile of yours is my real happiness.

*Next we have news on Astral Syndrome.*
***SIGN*** Breaking News
***SIGN*** Astral Syndrome Resolved?
***SIGN*** One Week After Patients Awaken, Experts Hasten to Reveal the Full Story
**[20:24] NewsAnchor**
* Yesterday, a week after all*

**[20:27] Song**
*The only freedom I'm allowed*
**[20:28] ---**

**[20:43] NewsAnchor**
*Experts believe this new information*
**[20:43] Song**
*So since you're here,*

*I want you to play your harmony for me.*

**[20:59] Kotono**
I don't blame you.
**[21:00] Kotono**
I'm sure it just confuses you,
hearing me suddenly act like a mother.
**[21:05] Kotono**
But well,
**[21:06] Song**
*Close your eyes. Close your eyes.*
**[21:06] ---**
I'm home, Tak-kun.
**[21:09] Song**
*It's all right now.*
**[21:11] Mifue**
Mother, listen. I've needed to
say this for a while, but...
**[21:19] Mifue**
I'm sorry.
**[21:24] Song**
*Everyone shines*
**[21:25] Izuru**
Yeah, I know.
**[21:27] Izuru**
But this time I'd like you just to
watch over me without saying anything.
**[21:29] Song**
*in this sinless world,*
**[21:33] Izuru**
Mother, at least do that for me.
**[21:35] Song**
*this gentle cage.*
**[21:40] Naruko**
Huh? SNS?
**[21:42] [SONG] Phone**
I used to be a gloomy, foul-tempered high school girl,
and now I'm doing crazy things in a cyber zone!
Chapter Two - Money Springing From Nowhere
No way!!
That day I was hoping to buy some juice
and I was shocked when I opened my wallet.
Huh?! Seriously?! There's 50,000 in here again!!
I'm rich now!!
Normally one would think this was a problem, right?
Like, "Huh? Where'd this 50,000 come from?"
But something about this world's happy, laid-back atmosphere
**[21:42] Naruko**
Yeah, I decided to quit them for a while.
**[21:45] Naruko**
I think I've found something
I'd rather do instead.
**[21:46] Song**
*Seal away the endless discord.*
**[21:48] Naruko**
Though I don't know whether it'll go well.
**[21:53] Suzuna**
I'm always here.
**[21:55] Suzuna**
Yes, usually I'm alone.
**[21:58] Suzuna**
There was someone I got
along with really well before.
**[22:02] Song**
* I'll fulfill you, and your*
* lonely, gestalt ego and ideals.*
**[22:02] Suzuna**
Will I never see him again?
**[22:07] Suzuna**
I don't know yet.
**[22:10] Kotaro**
What does justice mean to me?
**[22:13] Kotaro**
I want to become a rescue
worker to find out for myself.
**[22:13] Song**
* I'll write it down, so it won't be*
* forgotten even if time rots it away.*
**[22:18] Kotaro**
Though I don't know whether
I'll really be able to be one.
**[22:22] Kotaro**
But even so, I...
**[22:25] Song**
* Take my hand and look at me,*
* in the forest of slumber.*
**[22:35] Ritsu**
What everyone longed for
**[22:37] ---**
was a peaceful world they
could live in without anxiety.
**[22:42] Ritsu**
But everyone knows that's not
a simple dream to achieve.
**[22:48] Ritsu**
That's why some people find
small pieces of happiness
**[22:52] ---**
within bitter, harsh reality.
**[22:56] Ritsu**
That's why others refuse to accept reality,
**[22:59] Song**
* I've gathered these fragments*
* of glass with shaking fingers.*
**[22:59] ---**
curse it, and call it shit,
**[23:02] Ritsu**
but some also begin taking
little steps forward
**[23:06] ---**
as they try to grasp an unachievable dream.
**[23:10] Song**
* When I smile in this mirror,*
* well, am I beautiful?*
**[23:11] Shogo**
Dammit, I even forgot how to put on shoes!
**[23:22] Shogo**
Has sunlight always been this bright?
**[23:28] Ritsu**
That's why our lives are probably stories
**[23:32] ---**
woven with both dreams and reality.
**[23:37] Ritsu**
Do you understand, μ?
