[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!
