[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? SIGN    SweetP's tea party SIGN    All information finds its way here to this social gathering of ladies. SIGN    Participants Dreamy-Cute Girls Only [03:12] [SONG] Phone     Location     Shopping Mall     Vavico, Crescent Moon Rabbit SIGN    We'll be waiting in a dreamy-cute world with sweet desserts! [03:16] Mifue     All information... [03:19] Mifue     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...
