**[00:04] Shinji**
Now then, what should I make tonight?
**[00:08] Shinji**
I know Mana said she wanted to eat curry.
**[00:45] Shinji**
What on Earth?
**[00:49] Shinji**
What happened?
**[01:02] Shinji**
Was that actually a spatial quake?
**[02:48] Speaker**
* All citizens, please remain indoors*
* until instructed otherwise!*
**[02:53] Speaker**
*Also, airwaves are being overloaded,*
**[02:56] Speaker**
* so please do your part*
* by refraining from using phones*
**[02:57] Mana**
Big Brother! I'm so glad to see you... safe?
**[02:59] Speaker**
*and other communication devices*
**[03:01] Speaker**
*as much as possible!*
**[03:02] Speaker**
*We ask that you please remain calm!*
**[03:06] Mana**
Big Brother?
**[03:08] Shinji**
Mana?! Well, you see, this is—
**[03:10] Mana**
Don't worry! I'm on your side, Big Brother!
**[03:13] Mana**
Let's take our time to repent
for the sins you've committed!
**[03:16] Shinji**
Nothing you're assuming is okay!
**[03:19] Mana**
I understand the situation.
**[03:21] Mana**
But still!
**[03:22] Mana**
That didn't mean you had to
bring her to our place!
**[03:25] Shinji**
What else could I do?
**[03:27] Shinji**
The city's in a panic,
and she won't say anything to me,
**[03:31] Shinji**
so I had no idea what I should do.
**[03:33] Mio**
Achoo!
**[03:35] Mana**
For starters, let's have her wear my clothes!
**[03:38] Mana**
I'll go get some right now, so—
**[03:51] Both**
Huh?
**[03:53] Sign**
Danger Do Not Cross
***SIGN*** Fafner
in the Azure
***SIGN*** History and Economics
**[04:03] Mio**
I see.
**[04:04] Mio**
I mostly have the language system down now.
**[04:08] Mio**
What's the matter?
**[04:10] Shinji**
What do you mean? You just—
**[04:12] Mana**
"Ah" and "Unh" were all
you could say yesterday,
**[04:17] Mana**
and now you're suddenly speaking fluently,
**[04:20] Mana**
so of course we'd be surprised.
**[04:22] Shinji**
You're using more proper Japanese than Mana.
**[04:24] Mana**
Hmm?!
**[04:26] Mana**
Big Brother, I think you might be saying
only "ah" and "unh" for a while.
**[04:32] Shinji**
Wait! Calm down!
**[04:33] Shinji**
I love how unique you are!
**[04:36] Mana**
So long as you understand.
**[04:38] Mana**
By the way, I'd like to ask,
but who exactly are you?
**[04:44] Mana**
You're clearly not a normal person.
**[04:47] Mana**
Does yesterday's spatial quake
have any connection to you?
**[04:52] Mio**
I'm sorry, I don't know.
**[04:56] Mana**
It doesn't seem like she's lying.
**[04:59] Shinji**
Then could you tell us
what you do know at least?
**[05:03] Shinji**
Um, I'd like to know more about you.
**[05:06] Mio**
What I remember...
**[05:08] Mio**
is a vast horizon following some kind of
explosion like the one from yesterday.
**[05:13] Mio**
There were three people there.
**[05:16] Mio**
Two young men and one little girl.
**[05:19] Shinji**
Three people?
**[05:21] Mana**
Following an explosion like yesterday's?
**[05:24] Mana**
You were there at
the Great Eurasian Spatial Quake?
**[05:30] Shinji**
A-Are you okay?
**[05:32] Mio**
I'm fine. I just felt a little pain.
**[05:36] Shinji**
I see. Please don't push yourself.
**[05:41] Mio**
Thank you.
**[05:44] Shinji**
Ah!
**[05:45] Mana**
So, Big Brother, what are you
planning to do with this woman?
**[05:50] Shinji**
What will I do?
**[05:52] Mana**
The police should—
**[05:53] Shinji**
N-No, wait!
**[05:54] Shinji**
Both hospitals and the police
are busy after yesterday.
**[05:57] Shinji**
If we just tossed her into their care
without warning, then...
**[06:01] Mana**
I know.
**[06:03] Mana**
I guess we'll just wait and see
for now while she stays with us?
**[06:06] Mana**
It doesn't seem like she's a bad person.
**[06:11] Mio**
You're going to let me stay here?
**[06:13] Mana**
Yes.
**[06:14] Mana**
Since our father and mother
aren't here right now.
**[06:18] Mana**
Uh...
**[06:19] Mana**
That reminds me, we haven't
introduced ourselves, have we?
**[06:22] Mana**
Neither of us have shared our names.
**[06:25] Mio**
Names?
**[06:26] Shinji**
That's right. I'm Shinji Takamiya,
**[06:29] Shinji**
and this is my little sister,
**[06:30] Mana**
Mana Takamiya.
**[06:32] Mio**
Shinji and Mana Takamiya...
**[06:35] Mana**
So, what's your name?
**[06:37] Mana**
You do have a name, right?
**[06:41] Mio**
My name?
**[06:45] Shinji**
Uh, you don't need to force
yourself to remember.
**[06:49] Shinji**
Your memories might naturally
come back on their own in time.
**[06:53] Mana**
But it's inconvenient
if she doesn't have a name.
**[06:55] Mana**
We need something to call her.
**[06:58] Shinji**
In that case, well...
***SIGN*** May
**[07:03] Shinji**
I know, Mio!
**[07:06] Mana**
Mio?
**[07:07] Shinji**
Mio, written with zero and
the water radical to make waterway.
**[07:10] Mana**
Oh, that's not bad.
**[07:13] Mana**
By the way, how did you come up with that?
**[07:14] Shinji**
Well, yesterday was May 30th, right?
**[07:18] Shinji**
So 3-0 can be read as Mio.
**[07:24] Mio**
Mio.
**[07:25] Mana**
Still, we have public
appearances to worry about,
**[07:28] Mana**
so for a while we'll say
you're a family member.
**[07:31] Mana**
Meaning your full name will be Mio Takamiya!
**[07:36] Mio**
Mio Takamiya?
**[07:44] Mio**
Huh?
**[07:45] Mio**
That's strange.
**[07:47] Mio**
I'm happy, so why am I...?
**[07:51] Mio**
This is...
**[08:02] Woodman**
Hey, Ike.
**[08:03] Woodman**
Do you really think she's in this town?
**[08:06] Woodman**
She might have run away
somewhere else already.
**[08:10] Woodman**
I just hope she's safe at least.
**[08:34] Shinji**
All right!
**[08:38] Shinji**
I finally nabbed it.
**[08:41] Shinji**
Here you go, Mio.
**[08:42] Mio**
Huh?
**[08:45] Mio**
You're giving it to me?
**[08:46] Shinji**
That's why I nabbed it.
**[08:48] Shinji**
Or did you not want it?
**[08:51] Shinji**
You kept looking at it during our walk,
so I assumed you love stuff like this.
**[08:56] Mio**
Love...
**[08:58] Mio**
Love...
**[08:59] Mio**
To view something favorably...
**[09:01] Mio**
To be drawn to something
with strong interest...
**[09:05] Mio**
That's it!
**[09:06] Mio**
Yeah, I'm sure this is love!
**[09:10] Mio**
I love you!
**[09:18] Shinji**
Uh, Mio.
**[09:19] Shinji**
If you'd like, would you go on a
**[09:22] Shinji**
d-date with me?!
**[09:27] Shinji**
I should practice a bit more.
**[09:30] Shinji**
G-Good morning, Mio.
**[09:31] Shinji**
Nice weather we're having, huh?
**[09:32] Shinji**
Want to go out for a bit?
**[09:35] Shinji**
No, that's not right.
**[09:36] Shinji**
We go shopping together all the time anyway.
**[09:40] Shinji**
I want it to be more.
**[09:41] Shinji**
A real date.
**[09:43] Shinji**
I want Mio to think of it as a date, too.
**[09:46] Shinji**
Uh, ahem, ahem.
**[09:48] Shinji**
Mio, let's go on a date.
**[09:51] Mio**
Sure!
**[09:52] Shinji**
M-Mio?!
**[09:54] Mio**
Yeah? What's the matter, Shin?
**[09:56] Shinji**
H-How long have you been there?
**[09:58] Mio**
Since you said, "No, that's not right."
**[10:02] Mio**
So, Shin, when are we going?
**[10:05] Shinji**
Huh? G-Going on what?
**[10:08] Mio**
On our date.
**[10:11] Mana**
A date?!
**[10:12] Mio**
Yeah.
**[10:13] Mana**
Y-You're going on a date?!
**[10:16] Mana**
My shy, unsociable big brother
asked you out on a date?!
**[10:23] Mio**
Yeah.
**[10:24] Mio**
Though thinking about it,
**[10:27] Mio**
a date is just a man and woman
meeting up together, right?
**[10:32] Mio**
I'm with Shin every day,
**[10:34] Mio**
so I'm not really sure what it means to
go out together in a more formal sense.
**[10:40] Mana**
Well, in short it means big brother
**[10:43] Mana**
wants to grow even closer to you, Mio!
**[10:46] Mana**
You could say he's trying to
show you his affection.
**[10:51] Mana**
Mio?
**[10:53] Mio**
I see!
**[10:55] Mio**
Shin feels affection toward me...
**[10:58] Mio**
That makes me happy.
**[11:04] Mana**
Jeez!
**[11:06] Mana**
All right!
**[11:07] Mana**
In that case, let's get you prepared!
**[11:11] Haruko**
I heard what's going on!
**[11:13] Haruko**
I'm Haruko Homura, Mana's BFF!
**[11:16] Haruko**
Leave this to me!
**[11:18] Mio**
BFF?
**[11:20] Mana**
Yeah, it's not in the dictionary,
so don't worry about the word.
**[11:24] Mana**
Haruko knows a lot about fashion,
so I called her in to help.
**[11:29] Haruko**
I know you told me before,
but she really is a pretty woman.
**[11:32] Haruko**
Who's the lucky boy who's
getting to date such a beauty?
**[11:37] Mana**
Well, my big brother.
**[11:39] Haruko**
Huh?!
**[11:39] Haruko**
For real?! Way to go!
**[11:42] Haruko**
All right, I've got it!
**[11:44] Haruko**
This is going to be well worth it
in all kinds of ways!
**[11:48] Haruko**
First, I need to equip my focus enhancing item!
**[11:54] Haruko**
Now which should we go with?
**[11:57] Mio**
U-Um, I'm counting on you.
**[12:07] Mio**
Shin...
**[12:20] Mio**
What's the matter? You had a scary look...
**[12:23] Shinji**
S-Sorry.
**[12:24] Shinji**
Did I look that scary?
**[12:26] Mio**
You did.
**[12:28] Mio**
You looked like you were
going off to war or something.
**[12:31] Shinji**
War, huh?
**[12:34] Shinji**
Sorry, I was spacing out.
**[12:37] Shinji**
It's just... y-you're way too cute!
**[12:47] Shinji**
W-Well, then...
**[12:51] Shinji**
Shall we go?
**[12:54] Mio**
Yeah!
**[12:55] Mio**
Shall we start our date?
**[13:08] Mio**
The ocean...
**[13:09] Shinji**
You said you wanted to see it
someday, right?
**[13:12] Mio**
I'm so happy!
**[13:14] Mio**
Thank you, Shin!
**[13:15] Shinji**
Yeah, I'm glad that you're enjoying it.
**[13:23] Shinji**
Mio!
**[13:25] Mio**
Wow!
**[13:27] Shinji**
Mio!
**[13:28] Shinji**
The hem of your skirt is—
**[13:30] Mio**
Shin!
**[13:37] Shinji**
Mio!
**[13:39] Shinji**
H-Hey, Mio!
**[13:56] Shinji**
M-Mio?!
**[14:14] Mio**
Achoo!
**[14:31] Mio**
What are we doing for dinner tonight?
**[14:33] Shinji**
I haven't decided yet.
**[14:35] Shinji**
Is there anything you'd like to eat, Mio?
**[14:37] Mio**
I'm happy with any food you make, Shin.
**[14:44] Shinji**
Mio?
**[14:53] Mio**
This way!
**[14:54] Shinji**
Mio! What's gotten into you?!
**[14:57] Mio**
I'll explain later!
**[14:59] Mio**
Hurry!
**[15:13] Shinji**
Who are you people?!
**[15:15] Mio**
Shin, grab on to me!
**[15:18] Shinji**
Huh?!
**[15:28] Mio**
Shin!
**[15:29] Shinji**
I'm all right. We need to hurry!
**[15:40] Mio**
Show me your hand.
**[15:56] Shinji**
Huh?
**[15:56] Shinji**
Hey!
**[15:58] Mio**
Shh!
**[16:07] Shinji**
Who on earth were those guys?
**[16:09] Mio**
They're probably after me.
**[16:12] Shinji**
Huh?!
**[16:13] Mio**
I've started to remember.
**[16:15] Mio**
When I first woke up that man
from before was in front of me.
**[16:20] Mio**
Then he tried to capture me.
**[16:24] Mio**
I'm sorry.
**[16:25] Mio**
It's my fault you've gotten wrapped up in this.
**[16:29] Mio**
Run.
**[16:30] Mio**
I'll handle the rest.
**[16:31] Shinji**
No way!
**[16:34] Shinji**
I was ready to face some trouble
**[16:38] Shinji**
from the moment I took in a girl
with mysterious powers.
**[16:43] Shinji**
We're family now.
**[16:51] Shinji**
Anyway, let's slip out to where
there are lots of people.
**[16:54] Shinji**
Then we'll go to the police.
**[16:56] Shinji**
Don't underestimate the rule of law!
**[17:03] Mio**
Get back!
**[17:04] Shinji**
Mio!
**[17:05] Mio**
Don't worry, I won't kill him!
**[17:08] Woodman**
Hey now, are you serious?
**[17:10] Woodman**
Why would you to come to me of all places?
**[17:14] Shinji**
Huh?!
**[17:16] Woodman**
Hmm, so is Mio that woman's name?
**[17:19] Shinji**
Yeah, I gave it to her.
**[17:21] Woodman**
I see. It's a good name.
**[17:24] Woodman**
Hey, are you happy right now?
**[17:27] Mio**
At the very least, I don't enjoy being
chased around by people hostile to me!
**[17:33] Woodman**
No, I'm not referring to that.
**[17:36] Woodman**
I was talking about being
with that guy beside you.
**[17:42] Woodman**
I see.
**[17:47] Woodman**
Then scram.
**[17:49] Shinji**
What's the meaning of this?
**[17:51] Woodman**
There's nothing else to it.
**[17:53] Woodman**
Hurry up and go already.
**[17:58] Woodman**
Boy... Take care of that girl, Mio.
**[18:13] Westcott**
It's been a long time, Spirit.
**[18:16] Westcott**
I've missed you.
**[18:19] Westcott**
It's my first time meeting that boy there.
**[18:23] Westcott**
Thank you for taking care of our Spirit.
**[18:27] Westcott**
I truly am grateful.
**[18:29] Shinji**
Don't give me that!
**[18:30] Westcott**
We have your little sister in custody.
**[18:34] Westcott**
Now, why don't we return
both women to where they belong?
**[18:37] Shinji**
Why you!
**[18:38] Shinji**
Just try doing anything to Mana!
**[18:39] Shinji**
I'll never forgive you if you do!
**[18:41] Westcott**
Oh? Her name is Mana, then?
**[18:45] Westcott**
That's quite the joke.
**[18:47] Westcott**
I can understand why our Spirit
would wind up there.
**[18:55] Mio**
Promise me.
**[18:56] Mio**
If I go with you, then you'll return Mana.
**[19:01] Westcott**
Yes, of course we will.
**[19:04] Shinji**
Mio?!
**[19:05] Mio**
It's okay.
**[19:06] Mio**
I was never supposed to exist here anyway.
**[19:11] Mio**
Even spending a short time
with you made me happy.
**[19:26] Shinji**
Screw that!
**[19:28] Shinji**
Screw that!
**[19:31] Mio**
Shin! What are you—?!
**[19:32] Shinji**
Idiot!
**[19:33] Shinji**
Do you really think he'll keep his promise?!
**[19:36] Shinji**
What guarantee do we have that he won't
just kill me and Mana once we has you, Mio?!
**[19:41] Shinji**
So as long as you're with us,
they can't lay a hand on Mana!
**[19:45] Shinji**
So it would be way better to stay
with me and shore up our position!
**[20:01] Mio**
Shin?
**[20:03] Westcott**
Good grief.
**[20:05] Westcott**
I wasn't actually lying, you know.
**[20:08] Mio**
Shin!
**[20:13] Shinji**
Mi...
**[20:20] Shinji**
o...
**[21:16] Mio**
Right.
**[21:18] Mio**
I can just recreate him.
**[21:39] Mio**
I'll never let go of you again.
**[21:42] Mio**
I won't make any more mistakes.
**[21:46] Mio**
So...
**[21:51] Mio**
wait for me,
**[21:52] Mio**
Shin.
