[00:05] T
    Gen-san!
[00:08] Gu
    What's wrong?
[00:16] Gu
    Is this the place?
[00:18] T
    Yeah.
[00:19] T
    I want you to help me out a little,
    but just for getting inside.
[00:22] T
    I can take it from there myself.
[00:25] Gu
    Sure.
[00:28] Gu
    Get it done quick.
[00:51] Gu
    Did I drink a little much?
[00:53] T
    Thanks.
[00:55] T
    You can go.
[00:57] Gu
    Yeah.
[00:59] Gu
    Bye! Take care!
[01:17] T
    Wh-What are they doing here?
[03:12] O
    Non-chan?
[03:16] S
    Non-chan, huh?
[03:21] S
    During the first murder...
[03:22] S
    You were there, weren't you?
[03:25] S
    There was a sound I knew well in the video.
[03:29] S
    Answer me.
[03:31] S
    Our family lost Yui.
[03:34] S
    She died.
[03:36] S
    She's gone forever.
[03:39] S
    Why did you take her from us?
[03:46] S
    On that day, eight years ago,
[03:49] S
    were you there in that hospital basement?
[03:52] S
    Were you really there with Takuru?
[03:56] S
    You can't answer me, can you?
[03:58] S
    Because you weren't!
[04:02] S
    I know that better than anyone.
[04:05] S
    Tell me.
[04:07] S
    Who are you?
[04:13] S
    I knew it.
[04:16] S
    So I was right...
[04:18] S
    Serika...
[04:23] S
    There's no doubt about it.
[04:25] S
    She can see this.
[04:26] S
    And that's not all.
[04:29] S
    It's like she sees all there is
    to know about me.
[04:38] S
    It's you, isn't it?
[04:40] S
    You were using Senri Minamisawa!
[04:45] O
    I don't want to hear that
    from you, Nono Kurusu.
[04:56] T
    It can't be.
[05:08] O
    I always found you obnoxious,
[05:12] O
    but even your Di-Sword's annoying.
[05:15] S
    Looks like you've got a rather
    problematic Di-Sword yourself.
[05:20] S
    Can't you tell?
[05:23] S
    It's sending your thoughts to me
     through my Di-Sword.
[05:28] O
    What?
[05:30] O
    No way...
[05:32] O
    This Di-Sword even reads my own thoughts
[05:38] O
    and transmits them?
[05:40] S
    And so now I know about you,
[05:42] S
    though maybe not all there is to know.
[05:45] S
    Now we're even.
[05:49] S
    What will you do?
[05:51] S
    You want to kill me, right?
[05:53] S
    Then do it.
[05:55] S
    That's what Takuru wants, right?
[05:57] S
    Then I'll gladly let you kill me.
[06:01] S
    You can read Takuru's mind, right?
[06:05] S
    If Takuru really wants you
    to kill me, then do it!
[06:12] S
    What's wrong?
[06:13] S
    Won't you do it?
[06:16] S
    Serika...
[06:18] S
    What you're thinking contradicts itself.
[06:21] O
    Contradicts itself?
[06:22] S
    This is what you're thinking.
[06:25] S
    You exist to give Takuru a goal
    and help him with it.
[06:31] S
    But do you really think
    this is what Takuru wants?
[06:35] S
    His best friend, Itou-kun,
    just killed his little sister, Yui.
[06:41] S
    Do you really think that's what Takuru wants?
[06:46] O
    I needed to make the game more exciting.
[06:50] S
    Then kill me, too!
[06:53] O
    You little...
[07:24] O
    What's wrong?
[07:26] T
    O-Onoe?
[07:30] T
    Aren't you going to attack?
[07:32] O
    No... No...
[07:35] O
    Why would Onoe do this?
[07:38] O
    It can't be!
[07:51] S
    T-T-Takuru...
[07:55] O
    Nono!
[07:57] O
    Nono!
[07:59] O
    Nono!
[08:05] Gu
    Takuru Miyashiro-kun remains
    a person of interest in the case,
SIGN    Freesia Offices
[08:07] Gu
    and no new information about him is available.
[08:11] Gu
    As for why they chose to
    reveal the name of a minor
[08:14] Gu
    when issuing the warrant,
[08:16] Gu
    police pointed to the importance
    of this case in their announcement.
[08:20] H
    Um, are you okay?
[08:21] Gu
    The Ministry of Law's Human Rights
    Protection Bureau, the Lawyer's Association,
[08:25] Gu
    and all major human rights groups
    have given statements
[08:25] H
    Sorry. Of course you aren't.
[08:28] H
    I'll go make some coffee.
[08:29] Gu
    essentially stating no disagreement
    with this decision.
SIGN    Person of Interest's Name Revealed
[08:33] Gu
    Public opinion is on the side—
[08:38] Gi
    It's just like what happened
    six years ago, isn't it?
[08:41] K
    With Takumi Nishijou?
[08:44] Gi
    Yes.
[08:45] Gi
    He was said to be the killer behind
    the New Generation Madness,
[08:49] Gi
    but he proved his innocence
    and became famous overnight.
[08:56] Gi
    Good morning.
[08:58] Gi
    Shinjou-chan contacted us.
[09:01] Gi
    The reports say you're a "person of interest,"
[09:04] Gi
    but it seems the police have decided
    you were the mastermind behind these events.
[09:09] T
    I see.
[09:11] Gi
    And she...
[09:14] T
    Nono?
[09:15] T
    What happened to Nono?!
[09:16] Gi
    Um, well...
[09:18] S
    She's still alive.
[09:20] S
    You could say she's through the worst.
[09:25] S
    Isn't that great, Miyashiro-kun?
[09:29] T
    Yes, thank you.
SIGN    Aoba Clinic
SIGN    Hinae Arimura
[09:38] H
    So Kurusu-senpai is okay.
[09:44] U
    But we can't see Nono-san yet, can we?
[09:48] H
    Yeah... I think not.
[09:50] Y
    Wh-What about Big Bro Takuru?
[09:52] H
    Oh, right.
[09:53] H
    Hold on a second.
[09:55] H
    Here.
[09:58] T
    Yuuto, Uki...
[10:00] T
    Are you okay?
[10:01] T
    Has anything changed?
[10:04] Y
    No, I'm okay.
[10:06] U
    I'm fine.
[10:08] U
    But...
[10:10] U
    The media people... There's so many of them.
[10:13] U
    And the police are here, too.
[10:15] U
    It looks like they're searching your room
    and Nono-san's room for something.
[10:20] U
    And Dr. Sakuma disappeared
    and hasn't come back.
[10:25] U
    What do I do?
[10:28] U
    I don't know!
[10:31] T
    I'm really sorry...
[10:34] H
    Senpai, we need to hang up soon,
    or the cops will notice.
SIGN    Hinae Arimura
[10:40] T
    Hang in there just a little longer, you two.
[10:44] Both
    Okay.
[10:45] T
    Thank you too, Kazuki.
[10:50] H
    Okay, Hana.
[10:52] H
    Take care of them, please.
[10:56] S
    Where are you going?
[10:58] H
    Wait, Senpai!
[11:00] H
    It's a bad idea to go outside now!
[11:02] H
    There's photos of your face all over the net!
[11:06] K
    Damn it!
[11:07] Gi
    But nobody knows you're here yet.
[11:11] Gi
    Not the police or the rest of the world.
[11:13] S
    Miyashiro-kun,
[11:15] S
    there's some things I want to ask.
[11:17] S
    Can you help me?
[11:21] T
    Yes.
[11:30] S
    Well?
[11:31] S
    Any idea?
[11:36] Gi
    He's asking if you have any idea
    where Serika Onoe could have gone.
[11:43] Gi
    While you spent a day sleeping,
[11:46] Gi
    Shinjou-chan and I went to her house.
[11:50] Gi
    But nobody was there.
[11:53] S
    We copied the data on her computer.
[11:57] S
    But we didn't find any clues.
[11:59] Gi
    At this point, you're all we have.
[12:02] Gi
    If you were Serika Onoe's childhood friend,
[12:05] Gi
    you must know something.
[12:10] Gi
    Knock it off!
[12:11] Gi
    Are you going to let this chance go to waste?
[12:14] Gi
    The Gigalomaniac serial killer
    we've been looking for
[12:17] Gi
    finally showed herself!
[12:19] Gi
    If we trace her back,
    it might lead us to them...
[12:23] H
    Enough.
[12:25] H
    First his sister, and now Kurusu-senpai...
[12:29] H
    His big sister just got hurt!
[12:32] H
    Can't you be a little nicer?
[12:37] Gi
    I have a very limited number of
    people I can be nice to.
[12:41] Gi
    And you Gigalomaniacs aren't on that list.
[12:45] H
    You're terrible!
[12:47] Gi
    There's no point in lying to you.
[12:50] Gi
    I just want to find the killer
[12:52] Gi
    and use them to reveal
    who's pulling the strings.
[12:55] H
    But that doesn't mean...
[12:56] S
    Anyway...
[12:59] S
    You really have no idea
    where she could've gone?
[13:04] T
    Yes.
[13:15] O
    Damn it!
[13:23] O
    Just trying to struggle against
    his power did this to me?

    Unknown Number
SIGN    Freesia Offices
[13:41] Gi
    I'm going shopping.
[13:43] Gi
    Does anyone need anything?
[13:45] Gi
    My treat.
[13:47] H
    I'll take some harusame noodles
    and an eclair, then.
[13:57] Gi
    You, Miyashiro-kun?
[13:59] T
    I'm fine.
[14:01] Gi
    I see.
[14:02] Gi
    And you, Mio-chan?
[14:06] Gi
    I guess not.
[14:09] S
    Bye!
[14:14] T
    I eat the chocolate flavor a lot, too.
[14:20] T
    Can I really?
[14:22] S
    Don't worry about it.
[14:23] S
    Honestly, I'm sick of this flavor.
[14:27] T
    Yeah...
[14:27] H
    What is this?
[14:29] H
    Male bonding? Is that it?
[14:32] H
    You should've just asked Momose-san.
[14:35] Gi
    This is...
[14:36] Gi
    Miyashiro?
[14:37] Gi
    Arimura?
[14:39] Gi
    The white light seen during
    the Shibuya Earthquake...
[14:43] Gi
    Didn't you say you saw it, too?
[14:46] Gi
    I'm certain that has something to do
    with the creation of you Gigalomaniacs.
[14:52] Gi
    There was once a planetarium
    near the epicenter of the quake.
[14:57] Gi
    That planetarium was bought out
    by a certain company.
[15:01] S
    My investigations revealed that strange men
    came to be seen there after that.
[15:07] Gi
    And there's multiple witness reports of
    what sound like real boot phenomena.
[15:13] Gi
    I've also learned that company is intimately
    related to AH Tokyo General Hospital.
[15:21] H
    Um... So, what exactly are you saying?
[15:25] Gi
    This is just a theory,
[15:28] Gi
    but the planetarium was just
    like that underground facility.
[15:31] Gi
    It was used for an experiment or something
    similar involving Gigalomaniacs.
[15:35] Gi
    But the earthquake destroyed it.
[15:39] Gi
    Or perhaps it was vice versa,
[15:41] Gi
    and the earthquake was caused by
    an experiment gone awry.
[15:45] Gi
    Anyway, they were experimenting to find
    some kind of causal factor for Gigalomaniacs,
[15:51] Gi
    which ended up spreading around the area.
[15:54] Gi
    I think that's what that white light was.
[15:58] H
    Causal factor?
[15:59] S
    Something that drew the Gigalomaniac
    powers out from your brains.
[16:06] H
    Oh, like an allergen?
[16:09] Gi
    Not even close.
[16:11] Gi
    Shut up, idiot.
[16:16] Gi
    We can assume that everyone
    who was bathed in that light
[16:19] Gi
    was exposed to the causal factor,
[16:22] Gi
    but not all of them awakened.
[16:25] Gi
    According to our research so far,
[16:27] Gi
    young people whose brains were
    still in development and active,
[16:32] Gi
    and only those whose brains
    were under extreme stress,
[16:38] Gi
    developed those abilities.
[16:41] Gi
    The powers a psychic develops
    depend on those conditions,
[16:45] Gi
    or more accurately,
[16:46] Gi
    on the psychological response
    those conditions induced.
[16:51] S
    Does that ring any bells, Miyashiro-kun?
[16:53] T
    Yes.
[16:55] T
    When I woke up from the coma
    I'd fallen into during the earthquake,
[16:59] T
    I found in rehab that
    my body wouldn't move like it should.
[17:04] T
    That put me under a lot of stress.
[17:07] T
    The psychological stress of wondering
[17:09] T
    if I was always going to be
    like this was terrifying.
[17:12] T
    I think that's how I got my psychokinesis.
[17:21] T
    Takuru Miyashiro's ability is psychokinesis.
[17:24] T
    The cause was very difficult
    physical therapy.
[17:28] T
    That's what I'd assumed,
    wrongly, after investigating you.
[17:32] T
    Wrongly?
[17:35] Gi
    I jumped to conclusions.
[17:37] Gi
    If not for that,
    I could've reached Serika Onoe sooner.
[17:42] T
    Wh-What do you mean?
[17:45] Gi
    Just what I said.
[17:47] Gi
    All psychics were affected by the Gigalomaniac
    causal factor during the earthquake,
[17:53] Gi
    which is what manifested their powers.
[17:55] Gi
    The intensity of the earthquake put
    them under stress, so they made a wish,
[18:01] Gi
    which itself became the trigger.
[18:04] Gi
    And Riko Haida, the pyrokinetic...
[18:07] Gi
    I finally managed to
    investigate her thoroughly.
[18:11] Gi
    Her face was burned
    during the Shibuya Earthquake,
[18:14] Gi
    and just like the other psychics,
[18:16] Gi
    manifested her powers shortly afterward.
[18:19] Gi
    Overwhelming stress induced
    by a sense of despair,
[18:21] Gi
    and a wish to make other people
    feel the same despair she felt,
[18:26] Gi
    are what connected with the causal factor.
[18:30] Gi
    Now you understand, right?
[18:31] Gi
    As far as I know,
[18:33] Gi
    everyone's powers manifested
    right after the white light.
[18:37] Gi
    Takuru Miyashiro,
[18:39] Gi
    nobody in my data experienced
    a year-long time lag like you did.
[18:47] Gi
    After going back over the data,
[18:50] Gi
    I found that a side effect always occurs
    when the powers of a psychic manifest.
[18:57] T
    Wh-What is that?
[19:00] Gi
    An unbearable headache.
[19:04] Gi
    So now I have a question for you.
[19:07] Gi
    Did you ever have a terrible headache
    during your physical therapy?
[19:14] T
    No, I didn't.
[19:18] Gi
    Then, just like with the other psychics,
[19:22] Gi
    there must've been a moment during the quake
    when you got a terrible headache.
[19:27] Gi
    There was, right?
[19:29] Gi
    What were you doing then?
[19:37] T
    No, I'll ask a more precise question.
[19:40] T
    What did you wish for during the earthquake?
[19:44] T
    Wasn't that when you got your psychokinesis?
[19:48] T
    No, that's not it.
[19:50] T
    I never wished for anything like that.
[19:54] T
    What I wished for then... was...
[19:59] H
    Senpai!
[20:00] S
    Are you okay?
[20:03] Gi
    Miyashiro, look at this.
[20:08] Gi
    This is Onoe's medical chart.
[20:11] Gi
    It's dated November 21st, 2009.
[20:16] Gi
    It was found on a system in a hospital
    affiliated with AH Tokyo General.
[20:22] T
    That's where we went together
    after the earthquake.
SIGN    Name
    Serika Onoe
[20:25] Gi
    Yeah.
[20:27] Gi
    But there are no records
    of Onoe prior to this.
[20:32] T
    Th-That's impossible.
[20:34] T
    Onoe was with me ever since we were little.
[20:37] Gi
    You lived next to each other, right?
[20:39] T
    That's right.
[20:41] Gi
    At the time, you lived in a corner condo
    on a building's sixth floor.
[20:45] Gi
    Your next-door neighbors
    were the Arai family.
[20:48] Gi
    They were an elderly couple
    who lived off a pension.
[20:51] Gi
    They didn't have any kids.
[20:54] T
    What are you saying?
[20:55] T
    Onoe lived next door.
[20:58] T
    Her parents ignored her.
[20:59] Gi
    Did you ever meet her parents?
[21:03] Gi
    No, right?
[21:06] Gi
    Onoe supposedly didn't have
    any other friends beyond you.
[21:10] Gi
    But did you ever even see her
    talking to someone besides you?
[21:17] T
    I don't remember...
SIGN    Name
    Takuru Miyashiro
[21:20] Gi
    And this is your medical chart.
[21:23] Gi
    It was found in that same hospital.
[21:26] T
    Mine?
[21:27] Gi
    The cause of your coma is listed as unknown.
[21:32] Gi
    They were unable to identify
    the causal factor.
[21:36] Gi
    But instead...
[21:39] Gi
    They listed records from the psychology
    department of a different hospital.
[21:44] H
    Another hospital?
[21:46] H
    Psychology department?
[21:48] Gi
    It's dated 2006?
[21:50] Gi
    When you were in third grade, right?
[21:53] Gi
    It says you were extremely dependent
    on an imaginary friend.
[21:58] H
    Imaginary friend?
[22:00] Gi
    Yeah.
[22:01] Gi
    The product of a delusion,
[22:04] Gi
    who shouldn't exist in this world.
