[00:06] ---
    When the boy was young,
    he and the flame met.
[00:11] ---
    It was the warmth his father
    gave by his side every day.
[00:16] ---
    And now the flame guides him on his path.
[00:22] ---
    His light of salvation that shines
    upon what his late father pursued.
[00:28] ---
    The boy's blazing eyes continue
    to seek out his father's footsteps.
[00:40] ---
    The footsteps that his deceased father
    can no longer leave behind.
[00:47] ---
    You're drenched in sweat.
[00:49] ---
    Ah...
[00:52] ---
    Would you like a shower?
[00:55] ---
    No, thanks. There's no way
    fire and water will mix well.
[01:01] ---
    Maybe what Aoto said
    the other day is bothering him...
[01:05] ---
    Yeah, well, I did kill them.
[01:12] ---
    ...since Akane's father means so much to him.
[01:17] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[01:20] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[01:22] ---
    Living up to the forgotten ideals,
[01:25] ---
    you put on a grin.
    That's what I want to see.
[01:37] ---
    Lately, my vision is pretty blurry,
    and I'm repeating my same old routine.
[01:42] ---
    I learned a line that's out of my character,
    but I can't say it out loud.
[01:47] ---
    Being asked "How are ya doing?"
    makes me feel weird.
[01:52] ---
    But I've been acting tough for a
    while, so I guess it's OK.
[01:58] ---
    The real me behind my masks
    says with a tearful face:
[02:03] ---
    "I want you to thrill
    my untainted self some more."
[02:08] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[02:11] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[02:13] ---
    Basically, I am that forgotten ideal.
[02:18] ---
    Hey, move those eyes!
[02:21] ---
    If the gate is opened,
[02:23] ---
    someone will laugh at that
    which they've never seen before.
[02:28] ---
    Even the cliché dreams,
[02:31] ---
    and myself crying beyond them...
[02:34] ---
    I want to sing about them!
[02:47] ---
    "Inextinguishable Flame"
[03:06] ---
    Good morning, Arthur.
[03:08] ---
    You stayed the night again?
[03:12] ---
    Here, I made it just the way you like it.
[03:17] ---
    Why are you here, Loki?
[03:19] ---
    You're so cold. A king needs a god, right?
[03:23] ---
    That's why.
[03:26] ---
    Say, I heard you're recruiting
    another kid to the academy.
[03:31] ---
    I can't wait. What kind
    of a kid is he this time?
[03:37] ---
    Don't make that face.
[03:40] ---
    The things that you like,
    I'm interested in too.
[04:01] ---
    Every time you see dry bread and milk,
[04:06] ---
    you remember that icy past.
[04:10] ---
    It's not that I'm remembering it.
[04:12] ---
    Even if you try not to remember,
    you still see it.
[04:16] ---
    Because it has pierced your heart.
[04:22] ---
    Even though you see it, you can't reach
    the past that you want to redo.
[04:28] ---
    Hiya!
[04:31] ---
    I'm glad I found you!
[04:34] ---
    Why are you here?
[04:36] ---
    We're here to pick you up.
    Let's go to the academy.
[04:39] ---
    We may be a nuisance, but as a friend--
[04:42] ---
    Oh, well, as a teacher, for me.
[04:46] ---
    Well, I'm not really--
[04:47] ---
    Aw! Are those kitties yours?
[04:50] ---
    No.
[04:51] ---
    But you're feeding them?
[04:54] ---
    Only when I feel like it.
[04:57] ---
    That's even worse for them if you only
    feed them when you feel like it.
[05:04] ---
    But they seem happy.
[05:07] ---
    You're too naïve, Midori!
[05:09] ---
    It's one hundred times worse if
    someone betrays your expectations.
[05:12] ---
    I suppose. Hmm...
[05:14] ---
    Try not to think of it as betrayal, perhaps?
[05:18] ---
    Everyone actually has a kind heart,
[05:22] ---
    but you can't always be nice because
    you can't always be self-composed.
[05:28] ---
    I don't get it!
[05:30] ---
    Ugh!
[05:31] ---
    What?
[05:32] ---
    Anyway, come to the academy.
[05:34] ---
    Will something change if I do?
[05:36] ---
    Who knows? That's up to you!
[05:40] ---
    Besides--
[05:40] ---
    Is there something you
    want to change, Aoto?
[05:49] ---
    Some things aren't conveyed
    if you don't say anything.
[06:01] ---
    Don't fall silent, say something.
    We're not mind readers.
[06:08] ---
    Whatever. I knew I shouldn't have come.
[06:12] ---
    Akane!
[06:16] ---
    Akane probably wants to know
    what's on your mind right now.
[06:21] ---
    Not about the rumors.
[06:25] ---
    I think Akane and I want to
    learn a little more about you.
[06:32] ---
    Because we sense something in you.
[06:37] ---
    That quick temper of yours
    is your shortcoming, bon.
[06:41] ---
    What? I wasn't pissed.
[06:43] ---
    But you're super frustrated, bon.
[06:46] ---
    Hmph.
[06:47] ---
    Anyway, I didn't know there were
    places like this in Terrastia.
[06:51] ---
    Didn't the Council conduct land readjustments?
[06:54] ---
    You can never paint the world one color.
[06:57] ---
    Hmm.
[06:59] ---
    Ugh, I don't get it! Not him,
    or the Council glossing things over.
[07:08] ---
    People called my dad the Genius of Divine,
    and he had powers over the Council.
[07:15] ---
    The Council probably needed my dad, too.
[07:19] ---
    But my dad died in an accident
    during his experiment.
[07:25] ---
    That's how the Council explained it.
[07:30] ---
    I don't believe it.
[07:32] ---
    My dad isn't an idiot that'd die from a mistake.
[07:35] ---
    You say that, but you still seek
    to reach the Divine Gate, bon.
[07:39] ---
    You're not confident, so you
    want to know the truth, bon.
[07:42] ---
    Shuddap!
[07:46] ---
    Maybe Akane feels lost because
    he suddenly lost his role model.
[07:52] ---
    If that's so, he'll never understand
    a parent-killer like me.
[07:58] ---
    I still can't believe that.
[08:03] ---
    I'm sure you had a lot going on, too.
[08:09] ---
    The past doesn't determine everything.
[08:12] ---
    It's here that does.
[08:18] ---
    Well, see ya later.
[08:22] ---
    I'm going to say something
    very difficult for you.
[08:26] ---
    If he has your curiosity, go chase him.
[08:30] ---
    If you do, you may feel better,
    or you may not.
[08:34] ---
    But if you don't, nothing will change.
[08:37] ---
    We shouldn't get close.
[08:42] ---
    True, but you can't control your heart.
[08:54] ---
    Huh?
[08:56] ---
    Gimme something.
[08:58] ---
    Like what?
[08:59] ---
    Like change.
[09:03] ---
    Are you hungry?
[09:04] ---
    Yeah.
[09:06] ---
    Hold on a sec--
[09:07] ---
    Oh...
[09:09] ---
    That's even worse for them if you only
    feed them when you feel like it.
[09:13] ---
    Where are your parents, anyway?
    Are you alone?
[09:17] ---
    Daddy and Mommy are both busy.
[09:21] ---
    Are you hungry again?
[09:23] ---
    Huh?
[09:24] ---
    Oh! Aoto!
[09:26] ---
    Gimme bread!
[09:28] ---
    Sorry, I don't have any right now,
    so let's go buy some.
[09:31] ---
    Thanks!
[09:33] ---
    What, you feel like it again?
[09:37] ---
    You were about to do the same thing, too.
[09:42] ---
    You can't just leave him alone.
[09:44] ---
    Well, what are his parents doing?!
[09:47] ---
    They need to feed him! He's too young!
[09:50] ---
    Some families can't do that.
[09:52] ---
    In these days?!
[09:54] ---
    Aoto, bread.
[09:56] ---
    Okay.
[09:58] ---
    Wait! I'll go tell his parents.
[10:02] ---
    Tell them what? How?
[10:07] ---
    This is the World Council patrol,
[10:09] ---
    "World Council"
    providing you safety and security.
[10:13] ---
    providing you safety and security.
[10:14] ---
    If there is anything suspicious
    around you, please report it immediately.
[10:19] ---
    A Driver tailored for patrols?
[10:22] ---
    You see them a lot around here.
[10:24] ---
    It's so cool!
[10:29] ---
    If there is anything suspicious
    around you, please report immediately.
[10:37] ---
    What?
[10:40] ---
    It's show time!
[11:14] ---
    I'm scared, Aoto.
[11:16] ---
    Stay close to me!
[11:19] ---
    This is an emergency situation!
    The patrol Driver is going crazy!
[11:22] ---
    This is the Council Headquarters.
    I do not see any Drivers malfunctioning.
[11:28] ---
    Could you be mistaken?
[11:30] ---
    Aren't you seeing what's happening?!
[11:34] ---
    Confirmed. We'll send the trons immediately.
[11:37] ---
    Dammit, why--
[11:47] ---
    Wait!
[11:53] ---
    Hey! Are you okay?!
[11:57] ---
    Help me, Aoto!
[12:00] ---
    Crap.
[12:01] ---
    Hiroto!
[12:06] ---
    Daddy, help! Daddy!
[12:09] ---
    Hiroto! I'm coming now!
[12:21] ---
    Daddy!
[12:25] ---
    Daddy...
[12:32] ---
    I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
[12:34] ---
    Go save him, dammit! You're his dad!
[12:38] ---
    He can't.
[12:39] ---
    Why not?!
[12:41] ---
    He's also hurt.
[12:49] ---
    Nontron in position.
    We will now generate the zone.
[12:52] ---
    Roger that.
[12:53] ---
    Checking the coordinates. Ready to move on.
[13:02] ---
    Akane! Aoto!
[13:05] ---
    Let's crush that thing fast!
[13:07] ---
    Okay!
[13:11] ---
    Hey, water-user!
    Go back and extinguish the fire!
[13:15] ---
    I can't--
[13:17] ---
    You're the only one that can!
[13:20] ---
    They gave me this for you.
[13:22] ---
    You want to save the kid, right?!
[13:33] ---
    Let's go!
[14:26] ---
    Over there!
[14:27] ---
    Yeah!
[14:40] ---
    Is he hurt?!
[14:41] ---
    He's fine.
[14:43] ---
    Akane?
[14:44] ---
    Why?! Why didn't you try to save him?!
[14:49] ---
    Why?!
[14:50] ---
    He did try to save him.
[14:53] ---
    The ratio of conscious and subconscious
    differs from person to person.
[14:57] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[14:59] ---
    He consciously tried to save his child.
[15:03] ---
    But he subconsciously felt fear,
    which exceeded his conscious.
[15:12] ---
    When I was little, I was told about
    conscious and subconscious a lot.
[15:18] ---
    Aoto...
[15:25] ---
    Oh, I'm so glad he's okay.
[15:31] ---
    That's no good.
[15:34] ---
    If you can't save someone when
    you want to, that's no good.
[15:42] ---
    Wait!
[15:48] ---
    Maybe there are things you can't do.
[15:52] ---
    Hiroto! I'm sorry I couldn't come save you.
[15:57] ---
    Come here.
[16:01] ---
    Hiroto...
[16:08] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[16:13] ---
    Go.
[16:15] ---
    Go and take his hand.
[16:17] ---
    If you don't, you'll never be able to!
[16:23] ---
    So, go.
[16:29] ---
    Hey, go to your father's side.
[16:33] ---
    Your father wanted to save you.
    That isn't a lie.
[16:39] ---
    Yeah.
[16:45] ---
    Daddy!
[16:46] ---
    Hiroto!
[16:47] ---
    Daddy!
[17:00] ---
    Things are getting more interesting.
[17:10] ---
    Even if someone is consciously good,
    you don't know if they're a good person.
[17:15] ---
    Because their subconscious
    may not allow them to act nice.
[17:20] ---
    Your conscious and subconscious are pure,
[17:24] ---
    but the continuous betrayal has
    stopped you from making pure actions.
[17:30] ---
    Because you're afraid they'll
    let go of your hand again.
[17:35] ---
    And you're not the only one.
[17:38] ---
    Your younger brother was
    the same, and you knew it.
[17:46] ---
    The boy stands motionless,
[17:49] ---
    and the rain relentlessly falls on him;
    the big tears of memory.
[17:57] ---
    Aoto, please stop...
[17:59] ---
    Stop it!
[18:00] ---
    No, don't kill us! Help us!
[18:42] ---
    Later, big brother. Take care.
[18:46] ---
    Wait!
[18:49] ---
    Don't go.
[19:00] ---
    Did you see it? The Gate?
[19:06] ---
    That hurt, brother.
[19:10] ---
    On second thought,
    we shouldn't see each other again.
[19:31] ---
    Does your heart ache that much?
[19:41] ---
    I'm a little tired.
[19:44] ---
    I'll leave the rest to you.
[19:45] ---
    No problem, boss.
[19:56] ---
    An out-of-season present? How rare.
[20:00] ---
    So, the beloved Santa Clause
    comes even when it's not winter.
[20:06] ---
    Tonight, just for you.
[20:08] ---
    Merry Christmas.
[20:17] ---
    I'm happy you've decided
    to attend the academy.
[20:21] ---
    Well, these guys were annoying.
[20:23] ---
    Hmph! Whatever! You came here on your own.
[20:26] ---
    Just leave it, it doesn't matter.
[20:28] ---
    By the way, something good
    happened yesterday.
[20:33] ---
    Like the night of Christmas
    when I was a child.
[20:37] ---
    What happened?
[20:39] ---
    I obtained the key.
[20:41] ---
    The key?
[20:43] ---
    The key that'll lead us to
    the Divine Gate and open it.
[20:48] ---
    Wha...
[20:52] ---
    So it really does exist!
[20:58] ---
    Seriously?
[21:03] ---
    The Divine Gate...
[21:06] ---
    Yes, and we will get there!
[21:11] ---
    The boy's conscious and subconscious
    both desired to move forward.
[21:19] ---
    I must see him once again.
[21:21] ---
    I must grab his hand once again.
[22:55] ---
    I want to be your number one friend forever.
[22:59] ---
    That's my wish.
[23:01] ---
    The one sentence, that her friend said once,
    binds the girl's heart to this day.
[23:05] ---
    Why does it have to be number one?
[23:08] ---
    "Where the Wind Went"
    Why does it have to be number one?
