[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!
