[01:36] ---
    The wind blows down
    the wound covered dream.

[01:40] ---
    The storm of desire blows
    away the bit of happiness.

[01:43] ---
    The planet Endless Illusion
    which is, after all...

[01:47] ---
    the gathering spot for
    the dregs of outer-space.

[01:51] ---
    Meetings give birth to "goodbyes."
[01:53] ---
    Goodbyes are the mother of loneliness.
[01:55] ---
    The person nestled in
    the arms of loneliness

[01:57] ---
    reaches out, searching for someone new.
[01:59] ---
    But no one knows what
    that hand will grab onto.

[02:04] ---
    "The Days of No Return"
[02:10] ---
    Where did you come from?
[02:14] ---
    Where are you going?
[02:17] ---
    What are you doing? Yoshi, come on!
[02:20] ---
    But Mom, that girl's strange.
[02:24] ---
    Wendy.
[02:31] ---
    It was pretty harsh of Van
    to simply tell you to go home
[02:34] ---
    after the two of you
    had come this far together.
[02:39] ---
    But maybe Van's right.
[02:42] ---
    If my brother told me to go home,
    I guess I'll just go home.
[02:46] ---
    You're OK with that?
[02:48] ---
    But...
[02:49] ---
    I'm not OK with that.
    No matter what my brother says.
[02:54] ---
    Are you really OK with that, Wendy?
[02:59] ---
    G-ER fluid replenishment, complete.
[03:02] ---
    S-Drive update, switching over to Phase 5.
[03:06] ---
    Commence mental check.
[03:08] ---
    Starting mental check.
[03:12] ---
    Adjusting neurons. Begin observation.
[03:13] ---
    It's adaptability is unbelievable.
[03:13] ---
    Adjusting neurons. Begin observation.
[03:15] ---
    At this rate, not only will we be able
    to restart it,...
[03:15] ---
    From twenty to thirty...
[03:17] ---
    we might even be able to get to the
    transformation before the day's over.
[03:19] ---
    Naturally. It's not your typical Armor.
[03:23] ---
    So, I can leave the rest to you?
[03:25] ---
    Yes. We can handle it.
[03:27] ---
    I'll be back in a little bit.
    Just reconfirm the start process.
[03:31] ---
    All right.
[03:35] ---
    It's the results from the analysis.
[03:37] ---
    Those numbers represent
    coordinates on a grid.
[03:40] ---
    That thing there is...
[03:42] ---
    Hey, are you listening?
[03:44] ---
    I don't need it anymore.
[03:45] ---
    You don't need it?
[03:47] ---
    There's a more important clue here.
[03:50] ---
    In fact, I think he might
    even be here himself.
[03:54] ---
    Even if that's true,
    how are you going to find him?
[03:57] ---
    I just need to see his hand.
[03:59] ---
    If it comes to it, I'll use Wendy's
    name to get her brother to come out.
[04:03] ---
    Are you serious?
[04:04] ---
    Of course.
[04:06] ---
    Think about this calmly, will you?
[04:08] ---
    Do you believe the Claw is going
    to show up at someplace like this
[04:11] ---
    when he knows lunatics like you and
    Ray are out there trying to kill him?
[04:16] ---
    You've lost your cool.
[04:18] ---
    You're not tracking down the Claw.
[04:20] ---
    He's got you.
[04:22] ---
    You...
[04:24] ---
    What do you know?
[04:26] ---
    All that happened to you was that
    little incident in your hometown.
[04:29] ---
    Little incident?
[04:32] ---
    So the team's breaking up?
[04:34] ---
    We were a team?
[04:58] ---
    Green as ever.
[05:01] ---
    Gadved?
[05:02] ---
    No one comes near a man
    holding a sword in plain sight.
[05:05] ---
    Where did you go?
[05:07] ---
    When I woke up, you were already gone.
[05:10] ---
    I'm sorry.
[05:11] ---
    But perhaps it's fate
    that I should meet you here.
[05:17] ---
    You're looking for him, aren't you?
[05:19] ---
    Follow me.
[05:21] ---
    Phase 8 cleared. Starting
    Saudade of Sunday.
[05:32] ---
    Gadved, hurry up and tell me!
[05:34] ---
    You were looking for
    the Claw too, weren't you?
[05:37] ---
    Don't be in such a rush.
[05:39] ---
    It's been a while since
    we've seen each other, hasn't it?
[05:44] ---
    Gadved?
[05:45] ---
    It's been three years now
[05:47] ---
    since you and Elena
    suffered that horrible tragedy?
[05:50] ---
    Yeah.
[05:54] ---
    Elena.
[06:02] ---
    Reconstruct me, Gadved, please.
[06:07] ---
    Give Dann to me.
[06:12] ---
    The man who killed Elena...
[06:15] ---
    the Claw...
[06:17] ---
    I have to kill him.
[06:19] ---
    Van!
[06:21] ---
    Dammit! We need to at
    least get you some blood.
[06:24] ---
    Elena?
[06:25] ---
    Gadved, help me reconstruct Van.
[06:31] ---
    There's no way, not in your condition!
[06:34] ---
    I'm going to die anyway.
[06:38] ---
    Use Dann's system to help Van...
[06:41] ---
    But...
[06:42] ---
    Gadved.
[06:44] ---
    If you were me...
[06:49] ---
    I want to help Van. Help
    him now and forever.
[06:58] ---
    If that's true, then I died then too.
[07:02] ---
    If you and Elena hadn't
    given me the operation...
[07:05] ---
    If you hadn't given Dann to me, then...
[07:08] ---
    I was going to spend
    my life protecting Elena.
[07:11] ---
    But in reality, it was the opposite.
[07:14] ---
    If I don't at least kill the Claw,
    I'll never be able to face Elena.
[07:20] ---
    Please, Gadved, if you
    know something, tell me!
[07:24] ---
    Van, you're the same as you were then.
[07:27] ---
    Living on the verge of death.
[07:29] ---
    It seems you don't
    understand why Elena saved you.
[07:34] ---
    I'm going to help you out again.
[07:37] ---
    Become a member of the Original 7.
[07:41] ---
    What are you talking about?
    The originals were...
[07:44] ---
    That's right.
[07:46] ---
    The former seven were all killed,
    except for me.
[07:49] ---
    Only the satellite system and Armor remain.
[07:53] ---
    Only now do I know the reason why.
[07:55] ---
    They were destined to die.
[07:59] ---
    I didn't tell you, but originally
    the satellites and Armor were
[08:03] ---
    a surveillance system used by
    Mother Earth for this planet,
[08:07] ---
    which was once a prison.
[08:09] ---
    In other words, it was
    the Original 7's duty
[08:11] ---
    to watch over and keep the peace here.
[08:15] ---
    But over the generations
[08:17] ---
    the Original 7 gradually
    became more and more corrupt,
[08:20] ---
    especially after Mother
    Earth was destroyed.
[08:23] ---
    Disregarding the cries of the weak,
[08:25] ---
    they concerned themselves with
    their personal greed and power.
[08:28] ---
    No wonder they were destroyed.
[08:32] ---
    But now we're trying to
    assemble a new and true Original 7.
[08:37] ---
    As you know, as a result
    of the reconstruction,
[08:40] ---
    your life is directly linked to Dann.
[08:42] ---
    Unless you make regular
    contact with Dann of Thursday
[08:45] ---
    your bodily functions will cause
    you to overheat, resulting in death.
[08:49] ---
    Like it or not, you
    cannot live without Dann.
[08:54] ---
    And without you,
    Dann can't even restore himself.
[08:58] ---
    In other words, for whatever reason,
[09:01] ---
    you are the strongest living creature
    combined with Armor in the world.
[09:04] ---
    You are one of the Original 7.
[09:07] ---
    You understand the pain
    and suffering of the weak
[09:09] ---
    because it's part of you.
[09:11] ---
    That's why, for the sake
    of a new, ideal world,
[09:14] ---
    I want you to join us.
[09:22] ---
    Phase 11.
[09:26] ---
    He is a model student.
[09:27] ---
    Even I could do that.
[09:30] ---
    That's right.
[09:32] ---
    Looks like we're done with
    the initial start procedure.
[09:34] ---
    It's about time to...
[09:35] ---
    Would you like me to do it?
[09:38] ---
    No thanks.
[09:39] ---
    I have some other business I
    need to take care of anyway.
[09:41] ---
    Other business?
[09:42] ---
    Yes. I need to settle a small matter.
[09:45] ---
    Starting phase 12.
    Setting virtual horizontal axis.
[09:49] ---
    Gadved.
[09:51] ---
    I'm grateful to you.
[09:53] ---
    Thanks to you, I'm alive.
[09:56] ---
    But the life you gave me is...
[09:58] ---
    only to seek revenge
    against the man who killed Elena.
[10:00] ---
    That's the only reason for it.
[10:03] ---
    I don't care what happens
    to the Original 7.
[10:07] ---
    You really are a babe in the woods.
[10:10] ---
    Tell me something, anything.
[10:13] ---
    Such narrow-minded ideas
[10:14] ---
    don't even compare to those of my Comrade.
[10:18] ---
    Your Comrade?
[10:19] ---
    That's right.
[10:21] ---
    Our new Original 7
    work for Comrade, the Claw.
[10:30] ---
    You've become partners with the Claw?
[10:34] ---
    Indeed.
[10:35] ---
    You've joined together with the man...
[10:39] ---
    who killed Elena and sent me to hell?
[10:41] ---
    Indeed.
[10:42] ---
    And you're asking me to join you too?!
[10:45] ---
    Indeed!
[10:49] ---
    You bastard!
[10:52] ---
    Why would you? Why with him?
[10:56] ---
    It's what I chose to do.
    That's all there is to it.
[10:59] ---
    Where? Where is he?
[11:02] ---
    I can't tell you that.
[11:09] ---
    You still can't solve it, can you?
[11:12] ---
    What do you say?
[11:13] ---
    Would you like to talk to Comrade?
[11:15] ---
    I buried Elena with these hands.
[11:19] ---
    Now tell me. Where is he?
[11:21] ---
    Where is your headquarters?
[11:26] ---
    You think I'd tell you when
    you're still considered an enemy?
[11:30] ---
    I'm telling you.
[11:31] ---
    No matter what you do,
    I will never change my mind.
[11:36] ---
    In that case, I'll have
    to change it by force!
[11:40] ---
    If that's the case...
[11:53] ---
    I don't want you leaving here with regrets.
[11:58] ---
    But if you're going home no
    matter what then I'll go with you.
[12:02] ---
    But then your brother and Van...
[12:04] ---
    I'll probably lose track of them, but...
[12:10] ---
    Van!
[12:12] ---
    Hold on a moment. I'll go get him.
[12:14] ---
    Why don't you try talking to him again?
[12:16] ---
    Wait!
[12:19] ---
    It's too late for that.
[12:22] ---
    Paging Ms. Carul Mendosa.
[12:28] ---
    Your party is waiting for
    you in the central plaza.
[12:32] ---
    My party?
[12:41] ---
    Shall we go?
[12:42] ---
    We don't need to see anyone, right?
[12:48] ---
    Track 66.
[12:50] ---
    Trains bound directly for Mulando
    depart from track number 71.
[12:55] ---
    Number 71.
[12:57] ---
    Those going to the Sky Garden
[12:59] ---
    please take passage E-4.
[13:00] ---
    We did come all
    this way. Should we go have a look?
[13:02] ---
    Those going to the Sky Garden
    please take passage E-4.
[13:38] ---
    Sorry about that.
[13:39] ---
    It's all right.
[13:40] ---
    I wasn't paying attention and I dropped it.
[13:42] ---
    Thanks for taking the trouble.
    I'm really sorry.
[13:45] ---
    No problem.
[13:50] ---
    Where's your family?
[13:53] ---
    I'm here by myself.
[13:54] ---
    Then, you're from here?
[13:56] ---
    I thought for sure you
    were from someplace else
[13:59] ---
    since you've got that big suitcase.
[14:00] ---
    My trip...
[14:03] ---
    it's already over.
[14:05] ---
    Did something happen?
[14:09] ---
    Who could have called me?
[14:11] ---
    Van? No, that's ridiculous.
[14:15] ---
    I still don't think he remembers my name.
[14:18] ---
    Excuse me, are you Carul?
[14:20] ---
    Yes?
[14:22] ---
    I'm Hayetah's friend.
[14:29] ---
    Shall we go talk some
    place where it's quiet?
[14:33] ---
    I'm in a hurry.
[14:34] ---
    So am I.
[14:36] ---
    Anyone! Has anyone seen a girl?
[14:39] ---
    She's carrying a turtle
    and a large suitcase!
[14:40] ---
    The turtle's name is Kameo.
[14:42] ---
    He's a reptile with a shell and lives
    on land in the Southeastern Continent.
[14:46] ---
    So are you going back to your hometown?
[14:50] ---
    I don't know. I'm not sure what to do.
[14:53] ---
    I came here for my brother.
[14:57] ---
    But I never thought he'd say those things.
[15:03] ---
    I just assumed he'd say,
    "Thank you, Wendy,"
[15:06] ---
    and then we'd go back home together.
[15:10] ---
    But I was wrong.
[15:12] ---
    Up until now I always thought I understood,
[15:17] ---
    but I haven't changed at all.
[15:21] ---
    I haven't grown.
[15:24] ---
    It was the same when I
    was hiding in Evergreen.
[15:29] ---
    Everything up until now
    was all for nothing.
[15:32] ---
    My head goes completely
    blank when I think about it.
[15:38] ---
    I was worried and anxious.
[15:41] ---
    And so, I wanted Van to tell me what to do.
[15:44] ---
    But he was...
[15:47] ---
    This place is teeming with living things.
[15:50] ---
    Each and every one of which is precious.
[15:54] ---
    And yet at some point, they all die.
[15:58] ---
    You and me too. We cannot escape death.
[16:02] ---
    We live for but a moment,
    and then return to dust.
[16:07] ---
    People die and the world
    doesn't change the slightest bit.
[16:13] ---
    But why?
[16:14] ---
    I've thought about this many times.
[16:17] ---
    Life, this thing which is
    supposed to be irreplaceable
[16:19] ---
    and yet is constantly being
    laid to waste somewhere.
[16:22] ---
    In the end, all I could think was
    that was just how the world is.
[16:27] ---
    But I still couldn't accept it.
[16:30] ---
    And so I kept on thinking.
[16:33] ---
    And the answer that came to me was...
[16:37] ---
    our lives themselves
    don't mean very much after all.
[16:42] ---
    What's meaningful are the things
    which our lives give birth to.
[16:45] ---
    Yes, dreams.
[16:48] ---
    Dreams.
[16:50] ---
    People wish for many
    things while they're alive.
[16:53] ---
    Our strength to carry on builds
[16:55] ---
    in accordance with how
    strong those wishes are.
[16:58] ---
    Even I have a small dream.
[17:01] ---
    It's just a little thing, but because of it
[17:03] ---
    I'm able to endure the
    daily pain and hardship.
[17:09] ---
    I guess your brother found
    that sort of dream as well.
[17:15] ---
    Could it be, perhaps,
    that you're not sad...
[17:19] ---
    you're jealous of your
    brother who's found a dream?
[17:23] ---
    Of my brother?
[17:25] ---
    A selfish dream is merely desire.
[17:28] ---
    It brings misfortune to others.
[17:30] ---
    It swallows up everyone.
[17:32] ---
    But then how are we all
    supposed to get along?
[17:37] ---
    What do you think?
[17:40] ---
    I don't know.
[17:42] ---
    But it's so simple.
[17:45] ---
    We all should have the same dream.
[17:48] ---
    A dream so big it's even
    worth risking your life for.
[17:53] ---
    Then all our fears will go away.
[17:56] ---
    In other words, unhappiness
    will disappear from the world.
[17:59] ---
    Don't you think so?
[18:16] ---
    Who am I to be telling you all this?
[18:20] ---
    Thank you very much.
[18:22] ---
    I feel better now.
[18:26] ---
    What's your dream?
[18:29] ---
    I talked about it like it
    was some great big thing,
[18:32] ---
    but it's quite ordinary.
[18:34] ---
    It's for a world where
[18:37] ---
    everyone can live happily in peace.
[18:48] ---
    That bitch.
[18:53] ---
    Don't underestimate me.
[19:04] ---
    Phase 21.
[19:05] ---
    Following voltage check...
[19:06] ---
    commence circulation of G-ER fluid...
[19:09] ---
    in left leg module via duct number 4.
[19:11] ---
    Mental Check number 3...
[19:14] ---
    clear.
[19:15] ---
    He's doing better than I thought.
[19:17] ---
    But I wonder how he'll
    do when it's the real thing.
[19:21] ---
    You hungry?
[19:24] ---
    Mellisa would prefer a meal
    over her friend's armor?
[19:28] ---
    That's brilliant.
[19:31] ---
    Amazing.
[19:33] ---
    This is the Original,
    nothing like the training device.
[19:36] ---
    We can do it now.
[19:38] ---
    Our Comrade and the rest of us
    will be able to change the world.
[19:42] ---
    Phase 22.
[19:48] ---
    There's one thing I want to know.
[19:50] ---
    What was it about that
    asshole that won you over?
[19:54] ---
    My Comrade isn't as special as you think.
[19:58] ---
    He's strong, weak...
[20:00] ---
    cruel, and kind, an ordinary person.
[20:03] ---
    After I overheated and collapsed
[20:05] ---
    he used the same hands he'd
    committed those atrocities with
[20:08] ---
    to carry me to a doctor.
[20:10] ---
    Sharing the same dream
    as someone like him...
[20:12] ---
    That's you.
[20:14] ---
    You don't change the rules
    that have been decided on.
[20:16] ---
    Van, it's not the past that moves
    people to act, it's the future.
[20:21] ---
    Become the sword of a
    new age together with us.
[20:24] ---
    Sometimes you have to shut your eyes...
[20:26] ---
    when you stand before a great cause.
[20:29] ---
    Sorry, but I'm tired of
    hearing these things.
[20:32] ---
    I can't shut my eyes, and so...
[20:35] ---
    You're on!
[20:59] ---
    What is it?
[21:04] ---
    Wake up, Dann.
[21:09] ---
    Wake up, Diablo.
[21:16] ---
    Let's see how well
    you've improved upon that life
[21:22] ---
    that Elena and I helped save.
[21:26] ---
    If you're not up to snuff,
[21:28] ---
    this is where you die.
[21:33] ---
    Wendy!
[21:35] ---
    I was looking for you.
[21:36] ---

[21:40] ---
    I've been waiting.
[21:45] ---

[22:03] ---

[22:04] ---

[23:56] ---
    "Dream in Progress"

    you're a little bit more grown up
    than you were the day before.

[24:06] ---
    That's what it was
    like for me that night.

[24:10] ---
    There was my brother,
    the Claw, and Van...

[24:15] ---
    but the thing that changed me...
[24:18] ---
    changed the path I
    was taking the most was...
