[00:17] Bill
    Well, what style should we play?
[00:20] Victo
    Style?
[00:22] Bill
    One-on-one fighting game style,
[00:24] Bill
    or one-on-many RPG style?
[00:29] Victo
    Ah, I get it.
[00:31] Victo
    Sorry, though.
[00:32] Victo
    If you want to play video games,
    play them at home.
[00:36] Victo
    At the very least,
[00:37] Victo
    this is not the place for them.
SIGN    March 26 15:40
[02:28] Mina
    Here, darling. Open wide.
[02:33] Victo
    That's really good!
[02:35] Mina
    Really? It's the flavor of love!
[02:40] Kiri
    Mina, we're on a plane. Sit in your
    seat and fasten your seat belt.
[02:44] Mina
    My seat belt is fastened.
[02:47] Mina
    See?
SIGN    (Always wear your seat belt  when on an airplane)
[02:51] Voice
    Always wear your seat belt
    when on an airplane.
[02:57] Kiri
    That's wrong... That is completely wrong!
[03:01] Kiri
    Blaze!
[03:02] Kiri
    Why don't you say something
    to her... Not... again...
[03:06] Blaze
    Kill you all...
[03:09] Blaze
    Kill you... Kill you...
[03:11] Kiri
    Is he... talking in his sleep?
    Singing in his sleep?
[03:15] Kiri
    You know, I don't even care anymore.
[03:24] Voice
    We would like to thank you all
    for choosing Cavalier Airlines.
[03:31] Voice
    This is flight 123 bound for Couljours.
[03:38] Bill
    There you go...
[03:41] Bill
    I'll let you eat your fill soon.
[03:45] Bill
    So long as I have this ring,
[03:47] Bill
    the whole world is like
    a bonus stage for me.
[03:53] Bill
    Now, let's start the game!
[03:57] Victo
    What game are you starting, sir?
[04:00] Kiri
    The overpowering aura of a Horologue
    is pouring out of that ring.
[04:05] Kiri
    Who are you?
[04:08] Bill
    You guys are from Chronos, huh?
[04:11] Bill
    Sounds fun.
[04:12] Bill
    The more players in a game,
    the more fun it is!
[04:16] Bill
    Go! We'll start by conquering these guys!
[04:20] Mina
    Do you think it'll be that easy?
[04:23] Mina
    Slow Down.
SIGN    Slow Down
[04:30] Mina
    Slow Down.
SIGN    Slow Down
[04:50] Kiri
    There's no way he could survive
    a fall from this height.
[04:54] Blaze
    Hey! Warn me before you do that!
    You scared the piss outta me!
[04:57] Mina
    You idiot!
[04:58] Mina
    If we'd waited, everyone on board would've
    been eaten, and then it'd be game over!
[05:04] Bill
    You surprised me. That was a nice combo.
[05:10] Bill
    I bet you'd be good at fighting games.
[05:13] Bill
    First you used Slow Down
    to create a wall of air,
[05:16] Bill
    isolating the area around
    the door from the other passengers.
[05:20] Bill
    Then you opened the emergency exit
    and launched us all out.
[05:25] Bill
    I haven't introduced myself, have I?
[05:28] Bill
    My name is Bill Reidan.
[05:30] Bill
    I'm a gamer.
[05:32] Bill
    And...
[05:38] Bill
    This is the servant I've summoned,
[05:41] Bill
    Bahamut!
[05:47] Kiri
    An animal-type Horologue.
[05:49] Bill
    Well, what style should we play?
[05:53] Victo
    Style?
[05:54] Bill
    One-on-one fighting game style,
[05:56] Bill
    or one-on-many RPG style?
[06:01] Victo
    Ah, I get it.
[06:03] Victo
    Sorry, though.
[06:05] Victo
    If you want to play video games,
    play them at home.
[06:08] Victo
    At the very least,
    this is not the place for them.
[06:12] Bill
    Big words.
[06:14] Bill
    Ready...
[06:16] Bill
    Fight!
[06:25] Kiri
    Given its size, that must be at least
    a thousand-year-class Horologue.
[06:31] Kiri
    Maybe it's time to test
    this gift from Snake.
[06:34] Victo
    What're you going to do with a cell phone?
[06:36] Kiri
    This is the problem with you old men.
[06:39] Kiri
    There's an app installed on this
    that analyzes Horologues' data.
[06:43] Miko
    Hi there! My name's Miko!
[06:46] Miko
    I'm a high school girl here to
    help you battle Horologues!
[06:48] Miko
    I hope we'll be great friends, Kiri!
[06:52] Miko
    Before using the app, register your
    user account by looking at me
[06:55] Miko
    and shouting, "I love high
    school girls' panties!"
[07:01] Kiri
    I love high school girls' pan—
[07:04] Kiri
    Like hell I can say that!
[07:06] Kiri
    Damn you, Snake!
[07:12] Victo
    This is the problem with you virgins.
[07:15] Victo
    I'll show you how it's done.
[07:18] Victo
    I love high school girls' panties!
[07:23] Miko
    Eek! Kiri, you're so dirty!
[07:26] Miko
    But that's just the way I like you!
[07:33] Blaze
    Bastard!
[07:47] Miko
    Now to start taking measurements.
[07:49] Miko
    Line up the cursor with the Horologue.
[07:52] Kiri
    Why is this the cursor?
[07:54] Kiri
    Whatever. Have it your way.
SIGN    Measurement Complete
[07:57] Miko
    Measurement complete.
[07:59] Miko
    The target Horologue is
    a form-2 animal type.
[08:02] Miko
    The time it has consumed is...
[08:06] ---
    Wha...
[08:08] Kiri
    I-It's a 3,800-year-class?!
[08:12] Bill
    Hey, come on...
[08:13] Bill
    Is it even fun to play by pecking
    at a little thing like that?
[08:17] Bill
    There's no game more exhilarating
    than the reality we're in right now!
[08:26] Bill
    Oh? You're a water elemental, eh?
[08:29] Bill
    I see. The quiet, composed character,
    just as your looks would imply.
[08:32] Bill
    You've got your backstory down pat.
[08:35] Blaze
    Don't you lay a hand...
[08:37] Blaze
    on my little brother!
SIGN    Slow Down
[08:43] Bill
    A fire elemental, huh?
[08:45] Bill
    That explains the hot temper.
[08:47] Blaze
    Shut up!
[08:48] Blaze
    Instant Destruction by Fire!
[08:51] Bill
    But you know, fire and water elementals...
[09:01] Bill
    cancel each other out!
[09:04] Blaze
    Damn it! I'll teach you to mock me!
[09:07] Mina
    Sounds like you're very perceptive.
[09:09] Mina
    What do you think I am, then?
[09:12] Bill
    Wind elemental.
[09:14] Bill
    The free-spirited wannabe princess
    who hates to be restrained, right?
[09:19] Mina
    Bingo!
[09:25] Mina
    Leave it to a 3,800-year class to have
    this kind of defensive strength.
[09:30] Mina
    But at a time like this,
    if this were a game...
[09:37] Mina
    There's something to be said for
    targeting the summoner instead.
[09:46] Mina
    Game over.
[09:54] Mina
    What's going on? Do you not feel pain?
[09:57] Bill
    Pain? What are you talking about?
[10:00] Bill
    This is a game, you know.
[10:03] Bill
    Why would it hurt?
[10:05] Bill
    Oh, but my HP is already down 50%...
[10:10] Bill
    Well done!
[10:13] Kiri
    He can't even tell reality
    from a video game anymore.
[10:17] Kiri
    Why take this so far?
[10:19] Bill
    Hey, you just thought,
    "Why take this so far?" Didn't you?
[10:23] Bill
    I'll tell you. For me, the real world...
[10:27] Bill
    has turned into a game!
[10:34] Bill
    There's nothing really special about me.
[10:37] Bill
    I have no friends in reality.
[10:39] Bill
    Being in the reality they call
    "school" was genuinely painful.
[11:18] Bill
    It was video games that
    saved me from all that.
[11:21] Bill
    I only truly enjoyed myself
    when playing video games,
[11:25] Bill
    and I even found some people online
    that I could almost call "friends."
[11:30] Bill
    I thought I'd never have to return
    to the reality of "school" again.
[11:50] Bill
    After that, I continued
    living as an invalid would,
[11:55] Bill
    and my only living relative,
    my mother, said nothing.
[11:59] Bill
    She just did everything I told
    her to, like a good servant.
[12:03] Bill
    But then, one day,
[12:06] Bill
    it was suddenly game over.
[12:10] Bill
    She worked herself to death,
[12:11] Bill
    doing both the housework and
    the breadwinning all alone.
[12:21] Bill
    I regretted everything.
[12:24] Bill
    I begged time to turn back.
[12:26] Bill
    And then a man said this to me...
[12:30] Voice
    It's not game over yet.
[12:33] Voice
    If you collect time from other
    people and reverse its flow,
[12:37] Voice
    you can get your mother back.
[12:46] Bill
    Yes... So long as I have this ring,
[12:51] Bill
    I can rewrite the "reality"
    of my past into a game!
[12:56] Bill
    That's why, for me, reality is
[13:00] Bill
    a game!
[13:13] Bill
    Everything is a game!
[13:15] Bill
    I don't have to feel pain,
[13:17] Bill
    and I don't have to worry about anything!
[13:20] Bill
    So come on! How are you
    going to play with me?
[13:40] Bill
    Hey! Where are you going?!
    Don't go that way!
[14:02] Victo
    First of all, we'll need you to
    shut down that crappy console.
[14:12] Victo
    The real world is not a game.
[14:23] Kiri
    Oh, no! It's out of control!
[14:27] Victo
    Slow Down!
[14:28] Victo
    I'll start by hardening my cards!
SIGN    Slow Down
[14:30] Kiri
    Victor!
[14:30] Victo
    Show me UNIQUE's true strength!
SIGN    Slow Down
[14:35] Victo
    Speed Up!
[14:47] Kiri
    A single strike?
[14:51] Kiri
    So this is the power of UNIQUE,
    the original Oath of Time?
[14:58] Mina
    Really? Is this the time to be zoning out?
[15:09] Bill
    My Bahamut...
[15:25] Kiri
    Is everyone all right?
[15:26] Blaze
    Yeah... Sort of...
[15:43] Bill
    Mom... Mom...
[15:47] Bill
    Did you really die?
[15:51] Bill
    To be honest, I knew it was all real.
[15:56] Bill
    This world isn't a game at all.
[16:24] Victo
    Bill, your mother may be
    gone from this world,
[16:29] Victo
    but you haven't lost your memories of
    the time you spent with her, right?
[16:37] Victo
    That means your mother can live
    forever inside your heart.
[16:44] Bill
    I... I...
[16:50] Bill
    I shut myself in my room every day,
[16:53] Bill
    just playing video games.
[16:57] Bill
    I treated my mom like some kind of slave.
[17:01] Bill
    And I said all kinds of awful things to her.
[17:23] Bill
    And yet, right up to the
    day she left this world,
[17:28] Bill
    I never said, "Thank you," to her even once!
SIGN    I'm sorry
[17:37] Bill
    You're right.
[17:39] Bill
    I haven't lost my memories of my mom.
[17:43] Bill
    That's why... That's exactly why...
[17:46] Bill
    It's so painful!
[17:52] Bill
    I haven't forgotten, because I can't forget!
[17:56] Bill
    What am I supposed to do?!
[17:59] Bill
    Tell me!
[19:45] Kiri
    Is this what you want, Victor?
[19:47] Kiri
    We could get information
    on Horologues from him.
[19:51] Victo
    No, it doesn't matter.
[19:53] Victo
    He's the lowest form of humanity, anyway.
[20:04] Kiri
    You look pale. Are you all right?
[20:09] Victo
    I'm totally fine!
[20:10] Victo
    I could eat pasta through my nose right now!
[20:19] Blaze
    Wow... So he lost his mom, too.
[20:23] Blaze
    That's gotta hurt so much.
[20:31] Mina
    This is getting on my nerves.
[20:33] Mina
    Stop crying!
[20:35] Mina
    Let's go, Blaze.
[20:37] Blaze
    Sh-Shut up! I'm not crying!
[20:39] Blaze
    I told you, it's just sweat!
[20:41] Mina
    You liar! I know you were crying!
[20:44] Blaze
    I was not!
[20:45] Mina
    You totally, totally were!
[20:47] Victo
    How much easier it would be
[20:50] Victo
    if I could follow my emotions
    and express how I really feel,
[20:54] Victo
    just like they do...
[20:56] Victo
    But I can't do that.
[21:05] Victo
    Well, let's go.
[21:07] Victo
    Couljours shouldn't be too far from here.
[21:14] Kiri
    You only try to act like
    a father at times like this,
[21:18] Kiri
    playing tough and taking
    everything on alone.
[21:22] Kiri
    That's obvious to anyone,
[21:27] Kiri
    Victor.
