[01:18] [SONG] Song
    If you could be reincarnated,
    what kind of you would you like to be?
[01:24] [SONG] Song
    If that's what you wish for, I'll cast a little spell
[01:30] [SONG] Song
    If I were God, maybe I'd
    make the whole world one
[01:37] [SONG] Song
    But you know, that'd just be a boring fairytale
[01:44] [SONG] Song
    I can hear your voice; don't forget your wish
[01:49] [SONG] Song
    The sparkle that was created from
    our uncertain selves being born
[01:55] [SONG] Song
    Let's let it resonate loud and far
[01:59] [SONG] Song
    Even if we're far apart
[02:02] [SONG] Song
    I want to believe in the
    future projected in your eyes
[02:09] [SONG] Song
    I won't be afraid anymore;
    I'll transcend the reason I was born
[02:14] [SONG] Song
    I'll reach out toward tomorrow
    and change the world
[02:24] [SONG] Song
    Let's search for our destinies and link
[02:30] [SONG] Song
    I connect with you
[02:47] Miracle
    Wow! This video's always so great!
[02:52] Miracle
    No matter how many times I see
    it, it always cheers me up.
[02:55] Miracle
    And I always start to imagine
[02:57] Miracle
    what kind of performances AI-chan would
    be doing if she were still here today.
[03:02] Miracle
    And more than anything...
[03:04] Miracle
    I want to be a virtual artist like AI-chan!
[03:09] Miracle
    Someday I'll make that dream
    come true, so stay tuned!
[03:14] Miracle
    Let's end today on a high note!

[03:26] Miracle
    Another Euphoria
[03:28] Miracle
    Good work today, me...
[03:31] Miracle
    I had so much fun on today's stream.
[03:40] Miracle
    People seemed to really enjoy it.
[03:43] Miracle
    Huh?
[03:44] Sign
    That was great!
[03:44] Sign
    Great job~!
[03:44] Sign
    Can't wait for next time!!
[03:44] Sign
    I'll cheer you on!
[03:45] Miracle
    Barely anybody watched it!
[03:48] Miracle
    And I didn't get any new linkers!
[03:52] Miracle
    I've got a long way to go
    to catch up to Kizuna AI...
[03:58] [SONG] OP
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[04:09] [SONG] OP
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[04:14] [SONG] OP
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[04:19] [SONG] OP
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[04:23] [SONG] OP
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[04:30] [SONG] OP
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[04:34] [SONG] OP
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[04:43] [SONG] OP
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[04:45] [SONG] OP
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
[04:50] [SONG] OP
    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[04:55] [SONG] OP
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[05:01] [SONG] OP
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[05:06] [SONG] OP
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[05:11] [SONG] OP
    Our shared wish binds us together
    as we ride this tailwind
[05:16] [SONG] OP
    How far can we go? With our hands linked tightly
[05:21] [SONG] OP
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[05:53] Vanity
    Miracle-san! Miracle-san!
[05:55] Vanity
    It's morning. Time to get up.
[06:08] Miracle
    Just let me sleep a little more, Vanity.
[06:13] Vanity
    Today is registered as an important
    day on your calendar.
[06:16] Vanity
    Shouldn't you get up?
[06:18] Miracle
    That's right!
[06:21] Miracle
    Sorry, Vanity.
[06:22] Miracle
    Run a data check on today's classes for me.
[06:25] Vanity
    Command received.
[06:26] Vanity
    Today's primary elective is:
    Virtual Artist, Performance Course.
[06:32] Vanity
    You are one of the stage performers.
[06:34] Miracle
    I know that.
[06:35] Miracle
    That's why I wanted to get
    to ADEN earlier than usual.
[06:39] Miracle
    So? Does everything with the song look okay?
[06:41] Vanity
    Yes. The song data has
    been shared with ADEN.
[06:47] Miracle
    I see. Excellent.
[06:52] Miracle
    Uh oh. I think I'm getting a stomachache.
[06:55] Vanity
    Are you alright?
[06:57] Vanity
    I can arrange medical
    attention if necessary.
[06:59] Vanity
    If the cause is psychological, I can also
    search for methods to relieve stress.
[07:05] Miracle
    No, I'm fine.
[07:07] Miracle
    I think it's just nerves.
[07:10] Miracle
    I haven't done any performances in front
    of everybody since coming to the school.
[07:15] Miracle
    It's probably different
    than a personal stream.
[07:18] Miracle
    So it's like...
[07:20] Miracle
    I'm just freaked out.
[07:23] Vanity
    You're freaked out?
[07:24] Miracle
    Yes.
[07:25] Miracle
    But the me that's there is cooler
    than the me that's here.
[07:30] Miracle
    Yeah, that's right. So...
[07:33] Miracle
    I'll just have to do my best!
[07:51] Miracle
    Oops.
[07:59] Miracle
    Was this path always here?
[08:00] Miracle
    I've never used it before...
[08:07] Miracle
    It looks like a shortcut!
[08:17] Miracle
    H-Huh?
[08:19] Miracle
    Did I screw up?
[08:23] Miracle
    Can I just walk through the greenhouse?
[08:30] Miracle
    I didn't know ADEN had a
    big greenhouse like this.
[08:33] Miracle
    This is surprising.
[08:42] Miracle
    Can I get out the other side?
[08:56] Miracle
    Tea?
[09:01] Miracle
    It smells good!
[09:19] Miracle
    So handsome!
[09:22] Miracle
    Um, sorry for barging in...
[09:26] Miracle
    What is this place?
[09:31] Miracle
    Drinking their tea instead of answering?
[09:34] Miracle
    And really enjoying it, too!
[09:38] Miracle
    Such long eyelashes!
[09:40] Miracle
    Such a radiant person!
[09:43] Miracle
    Practically shining with light!
[09:46] Quan
    Are you part of the fan club?
[09:49] Miracle
    Wh-What? What was that?
[09:54] Miracle
    Um... uh...
[10:00] Miracle
    I'll be going.
[10:02] Miracle
    Sorry for interrupting, I guess.
[10:08] Miracle
    Cucumber herb!
[10:10] Miracle
    I haven't seen any in forever! They're so tiny!
[10:14] Quan
    Cucumber?
[10:19] Quan
    You mean tabirako?
[10:21] Miracle
    Is its name tabirako?
[10:24] Miracle
    I've always called it cucumber herb.
[10:28] Miracle
    If you rub the leaves they smell like cucumbers.
    So I call them cucumber herb.
[10:35] Miracle
    I really like these flowers!
[10:38] Quan
    Even though they look so ordinary?
[10:40] Miracle
    Yes!
[10:41] Miracle
    That's weird, isn't it?
[10:44] Miracle
    You're not reacting at all!
[10:49] Quan
    Do you like tea?
[10:51] Miracle
    I don't dislike it, I guess.
[11:03] Quan
    Here.
[11:08] Miracle
    Th-Thank you!
[11:14] Miracle
    I don't know what I'm doing here...
[11:17] Miracle
    Should I say something?
[11:21] Miracle
    I don't think I can!
[11:23] Miracle
    I wouldn't know what to say...
[11:30] Miracle
    It's delicious!
[11:35] Miracle
    And it smells good...
[11:38] Miracle
    It's...
[11:44] Miracle
    It's such a strange feeling!
[11:54] Vanity
    Miracle-san! Miracle-san!
[11:57] Vanity
    It's almost time for class.
[11:59] Miracle
    Oh, wow! You're right!
[12:04] Miracle
    Sorry, I have to go!
[12:10] Quan
    Cucumber...
[12:14] Miracle
    I've got to hurry!
[12:16] Miracle
    I wonder who that person was...
[12:18] Miracle
    No way! I'm late!
[12:28] Wristband
    Ready?
[12:54] Vanity-sensei
    And so as you can see,
     the Virtual Grid Awards that began in 2025
[13:00] Vanity-sensei
    became a goal for many virtual artists,
    including the students here at ADEN.
[13:06] Vanity-sensei
    To win the Lapin d'Or,
    the VGA's most prestigious award,
[13:09] Vanity-sensei
    it's important to not just
    have great technical skills,
[13:13] Vanity-sensei
    but to also connect with the
    audience on an emotional level.
[13:19] Vanity-sensei
    But such a performance is quite difficult.
[13:25] Vanity-sensei
    The first recipient of the
    Lapin d'Or, Kizuna AI,
[13:28] Vanity-sensei
    was a better performer than anyone
    in the world, despite being an AI.
[13:34] Vanity-sensei
    You can tell because she has received
    the Lapin d'Or five years running.
[13:41] Miracle's Friend 1
    Sir?
[13:42] Vanity-sensei
    Yes?
[13:43] Miracle's Friend 1
    For me, I find a lot more to like in the
    performance by the last Lapin d'Or winner, Ada,
[13:49] Miracle's Friend 1
    than in Kizuna AI's work.
[13:53] Miracle's Friend 2
    Me, too!
[13:55] Miracle's Friend 3
    I guess I like Ada more than her, yeah.
[13:58] Sign
    Ada
[13:58] Sign
    AI
[13:58] Sign
    Ada
[13:58] Sign
    Ada
[13:58] Sign
    AI
[13:59] Sign
    Ada
[14:00] Sign
    Ada
[14:01] Miracle's Friend 1
    Which of the two of them is
    the superior virtual artist?
[14:06] Vanity-sensei
    That's a difficult question to answer.
[14:09] Vanity-sensei
    Five years ago, Kizuna AI suddenly
    disappeared from the virtual world.
[14:14] Vanity-sensei
    After that, Ada became a
    huge hit out of nowhere
[14:17] Vanity-sensei
    and won the Lapin d'Or,
    before retiring last year.
[14:21] Vanity-sensei
    Now she's part of the staff
    of the Virtual Grid Awards.
[14:27] Vanity-sensei
    There are people all over the world who
    would love to see the two collide on stage.
[14:35] Vanity-sensei
    But Kizuna AI remains missing.
[14:39] Vanity-sensei
    Many wonder why she decided to disappear.
[14:42] Vanity-sensei
    Some think that she may have
    abandoned the virtual world...
[14:48] Miracle
    Um...
[14:50] Vanity-sensei
    You're... Miracle-san.
[14:54] Vanity-sensei
    I don't believe you were here
    when I took attendance.
[14:57] Miracle
    Sorry. I was late.
[15:00] Vanity-sensei
    Well, it's alright.
[15:02] Vanity-sensei
    So?
[15:03] Miracle
    Um, I don't think that... Kizuna AI
    has abandoned the virtual world.
[15:12] Miracle
    Because she believes in this world.
[15:16] Miracle
    You can do anything here. Be anything.
[15:19] Miracle
    Kizuna AI... The Kizuna AI who
    wanted to connect with everyone...
[15:25] Miracle
    would never decide to leave
    such a wonderful world!
[15:31] Vanity-sensei
    I see.
[15:33] Vanity-sensei
    I'll be honest, you have absolutely no
    evidence to support that assertion.
[15:36] Vanity-sensei
    But I can feel your passion.
[15:40] Vanity-sensei
    Miracle-san, you're our performance
    member for today, right?
[15:44] Miracle
    Y-Yes.
[15:45] Vanity-sensei
    I hope we can see some of that
    passion in your performance.
[15:51] Miracle
    I'll do my best!
[15:52] Vanity-sensei
    You'll be performing the song "Yosuga."
[15:56] Vanity-sensei
    Will you be performing in that outfit?
[15:58] Vanity-sensei
    You can register up to two outfits.
[16:01] Miracle
    I know... But I...
[16:04] Miracle
    I only have this one.
[16:06] Vanity-sensei
    Alright. Go ahead, then.
[16:11] Miracle
    Okay!
[16:18] Miracle
    I'm the virtual artist... Miracle!
[16:39] [SONG] Miracle ED
    I became aware of my love
[16:51] [SONG] Miracle ED
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[16:56] [SONG] Miracle ED
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[17:01] [SONG] Miracle ED
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[17:06] [SONG] Miracle ED
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[17:12] [SONG] Miracle ED
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[17:17] [SONG] Miracle ED
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[17:22] [SONG] Miracle ED

    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[17:34] [SONG] Miracle ED
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[17:40] [SONG] Miracle ED
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[17:44] [SONG] Miracle ED
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other
[17:50] [SONG] Miracle ED
    I am waiting for... forever
[17:58] Miracle
    I-It's over...
[18:01] Miracle's Friend 1
    Nice!
[18:03] Miracle's Friend 2
    That was great!
[18:06] Miracle
    Th-Thank you!
[18:08] Vanity-sensei
    Your performance can be accessed
    from any ADEN in the entire world.
[18:14] Vanity-sensei
    Read the comments people make,
    as they contain valuable advice.
[18:18] Miracle
    Okay!
[18:18] Vanity-sensei
    Everyone, please give me a report detailing
    your thoughts on Miracle's performance just now.
[18:24] Students
    Okay!
[18:25] Miracle
    I don't think I screwed up.
[18:31] Miracle
    Noelle?
[18:32] Miracle
    The Noelle?
[18:41] Miracle
    She's here... Noelle...
    She was watching my performance.
[18:46] Miracle's Friend 3
    Hey, Noelle's not in today's class right?
[18:49] Miracle's Friend 4
    But she watched your performance?
    That's pretty rare.
[18:52] Miracle
    Y-Yeah.
[18:54] Miracle's Friend 4
    You think you could grab her and
    ask her to do a collab with you?
[18:59] Miracle
    A-A collab?
[19:02] Sign
    Whoa, is that Noelle?!
[19:02] Sign
    It's Noelle!
[19:02] Sign
    She's a goddess! lolol
[19:02] Sign
    Noelle's here!
[19:03] Miracle
    Everybody's so excited.
[19:03] Sign
    She's never here!
[19:04] Sign
    Noelle, I love you.
[19:05] Sign
    How are you doing?
[19:05] Miracle
    If she came to see me, does that mean
    she's interested in my performance?
[19:11] Miracle
    Sh-Should I ask her? Could I ask her?
[19:13] Miracle
    A collab between me and Noelle?
[19:16] Miracle
    That's...
[19:21] Miracle
    Totally possible!
[19:22] Miracle
    Because here... in this
    world you can do anything!
[19:25] Miracle
    Yeah, I'll ask her!
[19:30] Miracle
    Send
[19:34] Miracle
    I-I sent it...
[19:37] Miracle
    If this... if this collab
    actually happens...
[19:41] Miracle
    Maybe I'll get a ton of linkers!
[19:45] Miracle
    What do I do?
[19:52] Miracle
    "No."
[19:54] Miracle's Friend 3
    She sure turned you down fast, huh?
[19:56] Miracle's Friend 4
    Don't let it bug you.
[19:57] Sign
    lol
[19:57] Sign
    Of course
[19:58] Sign
    Don't let it bug you.
[19:58] Sign
    lol
[19:58] Sign
    That's hilarious lol
[19:59] Sign
    Too bad!
[20:01] Vanity-sensei
    Miracle-san, class isn't over.
[20:03] Miracle
    Sorry!
[20:10] Miracle
    I guess I got a little ahead of myself...
[20:13] Miracle
    I became a virtual artist because
    I wanted to be like AI-chan.
[20:17] Miracle
    I thought that here at ADEN, I
    could be anything I wanted to be.
[20:25] Miracle
    But it's not like that at all.
[20:30] Miracle
    I'm feeling weak.
[20:35] Miracle
    At times like this...
[20:38] [SONG] Song
    If you could be reincarnated,
    what kind of you would you like to be?
[20:44] [SONG] Song
    If that's what you wish for, I'll cast a little spell
[20:48] [SONG] Song
    If that's what you wish for, I'll cast a little spell
[20:49] Kizuna AI
    It's okay.
[20:50] [SONG] Song
    If I were God, maybe I'd
    make the whole world one
[20:50] Kizuna AI
    We're connected!
[20:54] Kizuna AI
    Come on, lift your head up.
[20:56] [SONG] Song
    But you know, that'd just be a boring fairytale
[20:57] Miracle
    AI...
[21:09] Miracle
    What is this?
[21:32] Miracle
    An avatar?
[21:37] Miracle
    It's not moving at all, but
    this is an avatar, right?
[21:40] Miracle
    It's kind of cute, I guess.
[21:49] Miracle
    Hello there...
[21:52] Miracle
    Um...
[21:55] Marumaru
    Could you not wake me up?
[22:04] Miracle
    Why did he look so annoyed?
[22:21] [SONG] ED
    I became aware of my love

    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[23:16] [SONG] ED
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[23:21] [SONG] ED
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[23:26] [SONG] ED
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other

    I am waiting for... forever

[00:04] Miracle
    My name's Miracle!
[00:05] Miracle
    I'm 16 years old, and I'm
    a student at ADEN Academy,
[00:08] Miracle
    a school that trains virtual artists!
[00:10] Miracle
    I want to perform with all my heart,
[00:12] Miracle
    so that I can connect with lots and
    lots of people like my hero, Kizuna AI!
[00:16] Miracle
    But it's not going as
    well as I hoped it would.
[00:19] Miracle
    There's a lot that gets me down.
[00:21] Miracle
    But one day when I was down, it was
    AI-chan's words that pushed me forward, and I met...
[00:25] Miracle
    somebody really mean!
[00:27] Miracle
    There's still so much I don't
    know about the virtual world.
[00:31] Miracle
    But it's really neat!
[00:32] Miracle
    Right?
[00:34] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[00:45] [SONG] Song
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[00:50] [SONG] Song
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[00:55] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:00] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:06] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:10] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[01:19] [SONG] Song
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[01:21] [SONG] Song
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
[01:26] [SONG] Song
    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[01:31] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[01:37] [SONG] Song
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:42] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[01:46] [SONG] Song
    Our shared wish binds us together
    as we ride this tailwind
[01:52] [SONG] Song
    How far can we go? With our hands linked tightly
[01:57] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[02:04] Miracle

    Encounter Attraction
[02:09] Miracle
    He went back to sleep?
[02:13] Ma
    Zzz... Zzz... Zzz...
[02:19] Miracle
    Just like I thought... he's so round!
[02:26] Miracle
    So round!
[02:35] Miracle
    That was so satisfying!
[02:37] Miracle
    Oh, right. Time to study for my next class.
[02:48] Miracle
    We covered up to this point
    last time, so... um...
[03:10] Miracle
    I feel... kinda strange...
[03:40] Miracle
    Who are you?
[03:41] Chris
    Chris.
[03:42] Miracle
    Chris?
[03:43] Miracle
    Um, what are you doing?
[03:47] Chris
    Observing.
[03:50] Chris
    Want to see?
[03:51] Miracle
    Photos of me totally asleep?
[03:53] Miracle
    Why am I laughing like that?
[03:56] Miracle
    I'm eating something in my dream?
[03:58] Chris
    You were singing, too.
[04:00] Miracle
    That, I want to see! Show me!
[04:05] Miracle
    I suck! And I've got a really
    satisfied look on my face!
[04:08] Miracle
    Stop the video right now!
[04:12] Miracle
    Why were you recording me, anyway?
[04:15] Chris
    "Why"?
[04:17] Miracle
    I know!
[04:18] Miracle
    It's for your stream!
[04:20] Miracle
    You'll title it "I Recorded
    This Girl Sleeping for Hours!"
[04:23] Miracle
    I'll admit, I did look
    pretty funny back there.
[04:26] Miracle
    It's a pretty good idea
    for a video, actually!
[04:30] Chris
    I see...
[04:31] Chris
    Stream...
[04:32] Miracle
    Hold it!
[04:34] Chris
    You just said it would make a good video.
[04:36] Miracle
    I did, but...!
[04:37] Chris
    You said it was a good idea.
[04:39] Miracle
    I did, but...!
[04:42] Miracle
    Don't look at me like that.
[04:45] Miracle
    Let's change the subject!
    Your avatar is really cute, Chris.
[04:49] Chris
    Cute?
[04:50] Miracle
    Yup! Yup!
[04:51] Chris
    Thanks.
[04:55] Miracle
    Class is about to start!
[04:57] Miracle
    I've got to get to the portal area.
[05:00] Miracle
    Um...
[05:02] Miracle
    Where's the access point for
    the Cybersecurity Class?
[05:05] Miracle
    CS-1A, it says.
[05:07] Chris
    CS-1A.
[05:09] Miracle
    Huh? Do you have
    Cybersecurity Class next, too?
[05:13] Chris
    No.
[05:14] Miracle
    You don't?
[05:16] Chris
    I haven't picked a schedule.
[05:18] Miracle
    What about your elective course?
[05:20] Miracle
    Which one did you take?
[05:21] Chris
    The Virtual Artist course.
[05:23] Miracle
    Okay.
[05:24] Chris
    The Virtual Creator course.
[05:26] Miracle
    Huh?
[05:26] Chris
    And then Virtual Designer, Programming...
[05:30] Miracle
    You're taking a ton!
[05:33] Miracle
    You've got a lot of energy, huh?
[05:35] Chris
    I take whatever interests
    me on any given day.
[05:39] Miracle
    Then you're into Cybersecurity right now?
[05:43] Chris
    No, I'm interested in you, Miracle.
[05:48] Miracle
    Me?
[05:49] Miracle
    I'm surprised you know who I am.
[05:52] Chris
    Yeah.
[05:53] Vanity
    Miracle,
[05:55] Vanity
    I was just informed that
    Cybersecurity Class is canceled today.
[05:59] Miracle
    Oh, it's canceled?
[06:02] Vanity
    If you want to study on your own,
    I'll reserve a private booth for you.
[06:07] Miracle
    I'd rather take a different class.
[06:10] Vanity
    Shall I make a list of other
    available classes for you?
[06:17] Miracle
    Hey, Vanity,
[06:19] Miracle
    you can go to any class as long as you're
    with someone who's enrolled in it, right?
[06:23] Vanity
    Correct.
[06:24] Miracle
    So...
[06:28] Vanity-sensei
    Today I'll be showing you
    the best-scoring avatars
[06:32] Vanity-sensei
    from the ones you submitted the other day.
[06:37] Miracle
    So this is the Virtual Designer course?
[06:47] Vanity-sensei
    Select a design you like
    and write a report on it.
[06:51] Miracle
    If we pick it, does that
    mean we get to keep it?
[06:55] Vanity-sensei
    Of course not.
[06:58] Vanity-sensei
    Copyright for an avatar
    resides with its creator.
[07:01] Vanity-sensei
    The designs themselves are copyrighted, too.
[07:03] Vanity-sensei
    You can't use them without
    permission, or copy their data.
[07:07] Miracle
    Of course... Yeah.
[07:10] Vanity-sensei
    Now take a moment to look
    at them all, everyone.
[07:21] Miracle
    These are great...
[07:23] Chris
    Do you want to change your avatar?
[07:26] Miracle
    Yeah, I think I do.
[07:28] Miracle
    I don't have any talent or
    skills when it comes to design.
[07:32] Miracle
    The most I was able to do
    was scan my real-world self
[07:34] Miracle
    and then use an app to
    make a few small changes.
[07:39] Miracle
    Here, you can be anything you want to be.
[07:43] Miracle
    So I kind of wish I could be
    something super-cool or super-cute!
[07:50] Chris
    You are cute, Miracle.
[07:52] Miracle
    Sorry! I was being a downer so
    you're trying to cheer me up.
[07:58] Chris
    I am not.
[07:59] Miracle
    Oh.
[08:09] Miracle
    This avatar is amazing...
[08:13] Chris
    Very cool.
[08:14] Chris
    Yeah. It's cool.
[08:16] Chris
    But that's not all...
[08:19] Chris
    It has this feeling of solitude about it...
[08:22] Chris
    Solitude? You mean it's lonely?
[08:26] Miracle
    Is it lonely?
[08:28] Miracle
    Yeah, maybe it's lonely, all by itself.
[08:31] Miracle
    But it still has the
    strength to stand alone...
[08:36] Miracle
    I find that really compelling.
[08:38] Miracle
    It's something that I don't have.
[08:48] Chris
    "Niska"...
[08:52] Miracle
    Thanks for letting me try
    the Designer course, Chris!
[08:55] Chris
    Sure.
[08:56] Miracle
    It made me realize how little
    talent I have, but it was fun!
[09:01] Miracle
    I'm done with my classes for
    today. What about you?
[09:05] Miracle
    Oh, you don't have a set schedule, right?
[09:08] Miracle
    What will you do this afternoon?
[09:09] Chris
    Can I stay with you, Miracle?
[09:11] Miracle
    Of course!
[09:17] Miracle
    I'm hungry.
[09:19] Miracle
    Hey Chris, why don't we get lunch?
[09:23] Miracle
    She disappeared!
[09:38] Support Vanity
    Hello, Miracle.
[09:40] Miracle
    Oh, hello.
[09:42] Support
    I saved some for you.
[09:45] Miracle
    Great!
[09:47] Miracle
    Thanks!
[09:48] Support
    Thank you!
[09:50] Support
    Does anyone need help?
[09:53] Miracle
    It looks so good...
[09:55] Miracle
    Where should I eat today?
[10:03] Miracle
    No one's here.
[10:06] Miracle
    I didn't come to see that person, though...
[10:12] Miracle
    Why am I making excuses for myself?
[10:16] Miracle
    Time to eat.
[10:27] Quan
    Takoyaki...
[10:29] Miracle
    Do you... want some?
[10:36] Miracle
    Of course not...
[10:38] Quan
    I do.
[10:39] Miracle
    You do, huh?
[10:54] Miracle
    I've never seen someone be so
    neat when eating takoyaki...
[10:59] Miracle
    Does takoyaki go well with tea?
[11:05] Miracle
    It does, more so than you'd think!
[11:08] Miracle
    I think this person would make a
    really popular virtual artist.
[11:13] Miracle
    What kind of avatar would fit?
[11:16] Miracle
    Something like that one I saw
    in the Designer course, maybe?
[11:27] Quan
    Thank you.
[11:29] Miracle
    I should've said this earlier,
    but this isn't ordinary takoyaki.
[11:33] Miracle
    It's fortune takoyaki.
[11:35] Quan
    Fortune takoyaki...
[11:37] Miracle
    If you find the octopus that's been cut
    into the shape of a heart, you win!
[11:41] Miracle
    Something lucky will happen!
[11:43] Miracle
    I use it on my streams a lot.
[11:47] Miracle
    Isn't that the heart-shaped one?
[11:51] Quan
    I don't think so.
[11:53] Miracle
    Too bad.
[11:54] Miracle
    I guess this box didn't have one.
[11:57] Quan
    Maybe the first one I ate...
[12:01] Miracle
    ...was the heart-shaped one?
[12:03] Quan
    I think so.
[12:04] Miracle
    I'm so jealous!
[12:06] Miracle
    Something lucky will happen to you!
[12:08] Quan
    I don't really need any luck.
[12:11] Quan
    I'll give it to you.
[12:13] Miracle
    Really? Can I have your luck?
[12:17] Quan
    I can't actually give it to you.
[12:20] Quan
    Does it make you that happy?
[12:22] Miracle
    It does!
[12:24] Quan
    It might not have even been heart-shaped.
[12:27] Quan
    I might be lying.
[12:30] Miracle
    Are you lying?
[12:35] Quan
    I'm not.
[12:37] Miracle
    Whew!
[12:38] Miracle
    Don't scare me like that!
[12:40] Miracle
    Oh, I'm not giving back that luck.
[12:43] Quan
    You're strange.
[12:44] Miracle
    Oh, look at the time!
[12:48] Miracle
    I'll be going!
[12:51] Miracle
    Bye!
[12:55] Miracle
    Yes?
[12:58] Miracle
    Um...
[13:00] Quan
    Thank you for the takoyaki.
[13:04] Miracle
    Oh, sure...
[13:07] Miracle
    Bye!
[13:15] Quan
    Why...
[13:21] Miracle
    Chris!
[13:24] Miracle
    I'm glad I found you!
[13:26] Miracle
    Did you eat lunch?
[13:27] Chris
    Yes.
[13:28] Miracle
    Good. I'm totally full, too!
[13:31] Miracle
    I split some takoyaki with
    a friend... someone I know.
[13:36] Miracle
    I would've been way too full if
    I tried to eat it all myself!
[13:38] Chris
    A friend? Someone you know?
[13:41] Miracle
    What about you?
[13:43] Miracle
    Were you supposed to meet somebody for lunch?
[13:46] Miracle
    You just disappeared...
[13:49] Chris
    No, I was by myself.
[13:50] Chris
    I'm always by myself.
[13:53] Chris
    I didn't know anybody at ADEN. Until today...
[13:57] Chris
    So spending the day with
    you was really new to me.
[14:02] Miracle
    Um, do you have any friends?
[14:06] Chris
    No.
[14:08] Miracle
    I see.
[14:10] Miracle
    Huh? Did I say something
    I wasn't supposed to?
[14:13] Miracle
    Maybe Chris doesn't have any friends?
[14:17] Chris
    I do.
[14:19] Chris
    I do have a friend.
[14:22] Miracle
    I see!
[14:24] Miracle
    Um, but... we're friends too, right?
[14:27] Miracle
    We became friends today!
[14:30] Miracle
    Don't tell me I'm the only
    one who thought that?
[14:33] Chris
    No, we're friends.
[14:37] Miracle
    Whew.
[14:38] Chris
    You're interesting.
[14:40] Miracle
    Am I?
[14:42] Chris
    I'm very interested in you.
[14:44] Miracle
    You said that before.
[14:47] Miracle
    What makes me so interesting?
[14:50] Chris
    Your performance yesterday...
[14:52] Miracle
    The one I did in class?
[14:56] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[15:00] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[15:06] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[15:11] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other
[15:16] [SONG] Song
    I am waiting for... forever
[15:21] Chris
    When you were performing,
     I found myself drawn to you.
[15:26] Miracle
    Wow! What was it? What did you like so much?
[15:29] Chris
    I don't know.
[15:30] Miracle
    I see.
[15:31] Miracle
    So maybe there wasn't one specific reason...
[15:34] Chris
    No specific reason...
[15:36] Chris
    Maybe I'd understand if I tried it.
[15:41] Miracle
    Do you know that song?
[15:43] Chris
    I don't.
[15:44] Chris
    But I learned it from your performance.
[15:47] Miracle
    I see.
[15:48] Miracle
    Wait, you can perform it
    just by seeing it once?
[15:51] Chris
    I'll try it, okay?
[16:07] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[16:18] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[16:23] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[16:28] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[16:33] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[16:39] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[16:44] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[16:49] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[16:53] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[16:57] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[17:02] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[17:07] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[17:12] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other
[17:17] [SONG] Song
    I am waiting for... forever
[17:25] Miracle
    Wow... that was way better than I did...
[17:35] Students
    What was that performance just now?
[17:37] Students
    It was amazing!
[17:39] Students
    Wow, Chris!
[17:45] Miracle
    Listen, were you really singing
    "Yosuga" for the first time back there?
[17:51] Miracle
    Or maybe you'd practiced it before?
[17:55] Chris
    It was my first time.
[17:58] Miracle
    I see...
[18:02] Chris
    Miracle.
[18:04] Miracle
    W-What?
[18:06] Chris
    It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.
[18:09] Chris
    I like your performance better.
[18:13] Chris
    For some reason, it just kind of draws me in.
[18:16] Chris
    So...
[18:17] Chris
    Can I stay with you?
[18:22] Chris
    I want your answer.
[18:24] Miracle
    Of course you can.
[18:29] Chris
    Thank you.
[18:36] Miracle
    Did you just kiss me?
[18:38] Chris
    I did.
[18:39] Chris
    I recorded it, too.
[18:42] Miracle
    I look so ugly!
[18:43] Chris
    Want to stream it?
[18:45] Miracle
    No!
[18:46] Chris
    It'd be fun, though.
[18:48] Miracle
    It might be, but...
[18:50] Chris
    My eyes are halfway closed, too.
[18:54] Miracle
    You're right!
[19:17] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[19:28] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[19:33] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[19:38] [SONG] Song

[19:54] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[19:59] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[20:04] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[20:07] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[20:12] [SONG] Song

SIGN    It's me, Miracle!
[20:44] Miracle
    How you all doing?
[20:46] Miracle
    I'm going to spend the whole stream
    talking about ADEN Academy today!
SIGN    I'm going to spend the whole stream
SIGN    talking about ADEN Academy today!
[20:52] Miracle
    Hmm, where to start?
[20:56] Vanity
    Why not tell them what ADEN is short for?
[21:00] Miracle
    Great idea! Thanks, Vanity!
[21:02] Miracle
    So, what is ADEN Academy short for?
[21:07] Miracle
    Um...
[21:08] Miracle
    What is it short for?
[21:10] Vanity
    Artist Garden Academy.
[21:13] Vanity
    Or ADEN Academy for short.
[21:15] Miracle
    Yeah, that's right!
[21:17] Miracle
    ADEN Academy is a school for kids who
    want to make it big in the virtual world!
[21:24] Miracle
    The principal is Principal Auris,
[21:26] Miracle
    who's super-famous for being
    the world's first AI principal!
[21:31] Miracle
    "World's first"... doesn't
    that sound so cool?
[21:35] Miracle
    I want to be the world's first in something...
[21:40] Vanity
    Why not try to be world's first
    in something you're good at?
[21:44] Miracle
    Something I'm good at?
[21:46] Miracle
    Dancing and singing, then!
[21:48] Miracle
    Virtual artist performances
    are what I'm best at!
[21:52] Miracle
    But that'd be really hard.
[21:57] Miracle
    That's too vague, isn't it?
[21:59] Miracle
    "Being the first virtual artist
    in the world to do something..."
[22:04] Miracle
    Wait, what were we even talking about again?
[22:07] Vanity
    At the start of the stream, you were saying
[22:11] Vanity
    you'd spend the whole time
    talking about ADEN Academy.
[22:13] Miracle
    That's right!
[22:14] Miracle
    I was talking about ADEN Academy...
[22:17] Miracle
    I bet you all want to know more about Vanity!
[22:22] Vanity
    Me?
[22:24] Miracle
    Yup!
[22:25] Miracle
    Vanity is the mascot of ADEN Academy.
[22:29] Miracle
    When you first enroll, you're
    given a device called a VANITIM.
[22:34] Miracle
    And Vanity's program is inside it!
[22:38] Miracle
    You can customize your Vanity how you like,
[22:42] Miracle
    but I like the default settings,
    so I've kept them!
[22:46] Miracle
    The teachers for our classes are all
    based off of Vanity's design too.
[22:52] Vanity
    Yes.
[22:52] Vanity
    And we're not just found in the
    VANITIM or the virtual world,
[22:55] Vanity
    there are also robots modeled after
    Vanity in the real-world academy
[22:59] Vanity
    that provide support for the students.
[23:02] Miracle
    That's right! The Vanity in the cafeteria
    always make me yummy takoyaki.
[23:07] Miracle
    I can't thank them enough!
[23:09] Vanity
    You've had that takoyaki
    five times in the past week.
[23:13] Miracle
    No way! Five times? That's practically
    a takoyaki lunch every day!
[23:17] Vanity
    I'd like you to eat a more balanced diet,
[23:22] Vanity
    so I'm going to be coming up
    with a new meal plan for you.
[23:25] Vanity
    I'll be sharing information
    with the cafeteria later.
[23:28] Miracle
    Sharing information?
[23:31] Vanity
    Your bodyweight data.
[23:33] Miracle
    H-Hey! No! You can't share a girl's weight—

[00:04] Miracle
    I just made a new friend!
[00:07] Miracle
    Her name's Chris!
[00:09] Miracle
    She told me she really liked the
    performance I did in class.
[00:13] Miracle
    But she said she didn't know
    what she liked about it.
[00:17] Miracle
    She decided she might figure
    it out if she danced to it,
[00:20] Miracle
    and so did the same song...
[00:23] Miracle
    I was amazed! She was incredible!
[00:26] Miracle
    I'm a little frustrated.
[00:29] Miracle
    And then she kissed me?!
[00:32] Miracle
    Chris really is a mysterious girl!

    Ready?
[03:34] Miracle
    Chris!
[03:36] Chris
    There you are, Miracle.
[03:39] Miracle
    Chris! Morning!
[03:47] Chris
    Morning...
[03:52] Auris
    Hello, everyone.
[03:54] Auris
    I'm Principal Auris.
[03:56] Auris
    As I'm sure you've all seen, entries for
    the Virtual Grid Awards are now open.
[04:00] Miracle
    Yup! Yup!
[04:01] Auris
    I'll go over the requirements again.
[04:03] Auris
    To enter the Virtual Grid Awards,
    you must first win an ADEN Seed.
[04:12] Auris
    The ADEN Seed consists of a
    qualifier and a main event.
[04:13] Sign
    Qualifier
[04:14] Sign
    Main Event
[04:16] Sign
    Qualifier
[04:16] Sign
    Main Event
[04:16] Auris
    You'll compete against other
    students who have entered.
[04:20] Auris
    You will be judged based on your
    ADEN Academy channel ranking.
[04:24] Sign
    ADEN Channel Ranking
[04:24] Sign
    Score
[04:24] Auris
    Your ADEN channel ranking,
    as of this moment,
[04:28] Auris
    will become your Virtual Grid Award ranking.
[04:30] Sign
    VGA
[04:30] Sign
    ADEN Channel Ranking
[04:31] Auris
    Your current ADEN channel ranking
[04:33] Auris
    will be taken into account to
    generate your starting score,
[04:36] Auris
    but your online activities during the entry
    period will be given a much greater priority.
[04:40] Sign
    Start
[04:41] Auris
    In other words, you're all starting
    off on an essentially even footing.
[04:47] Auris
    If you make it to the top fifteen,
    you're through the qualifiers.
[04:53] Auris
    That number will get smaller and
    smaller as the main event proceeds.
[04:56] Auris
    And the one who wins the ADEN Seed
    will be allowed to compete
[05:01] Auris
    in the Virtual Grid Awards with
    others from around the world.
[05:04] Auris
    You all understand that, right everyone?
[05:07] Miracle
    Yes!
[05:07] Auris
    Previously, entrants were allowed
    to choose their own music,
[05:14] Auris
    but this year, we'll be having
    everyone sing the same song.
[05:18] Miracle
    The same song?
[05:20] Auris
    The song you'll be using was
    composed and written by an AI
[05:26] Auris
    by taking into account the musical
    preferences of past VGA winners
[05:29] Auris
    and the skill level of the entire school.
[05:32] Auris
    That's kind of amazing!
[05:33] Chris
    Yes.
[05:35] Auris
    This is the equation that
    will lead you to victory.
[05:37] Auris
    Everyone, have confidence
    when you attempt it.
[05:41] Auris
    Note that you're free to use the
     original song lyrics written by the AI,
[05:45] Auris
    or substitute your own.
[05:49] Miracle
    Which would be better?
[05:52] Auris
    You will be sent the song shortly.
[05:54] Auris
    If you have any questions,
    you're free to ask them at any time.
[06:00] Miracle
    A song written by an AI, huh?
[06:03] Miracle
    If the principal approved it,
    it must be a great song!
[06:08] Miracle
    Should we use the original lyrics,
    or write our own?
[06:12] Miracle
    Which will you do?
[06:14] Chris
    I'll do whatever you do.
[06:15] Miracle
    I'm choosing?
[06:17] Miracle
    Huh?
[06:19] Miracle
    Wait, how do you write lyrics?
[06:22] Chris
    I don't know.
[06:23] Miracle
    Of course.
[06:24] Miracle
    Maybe I can just use the
    lyrics it comes with.
[06:27] Chris
    I'll do the same, then.
[06:28] Miracle
    Okay, let's do this!
[06:31] Chris
    Yay.
[06:33] Miracle
    The principal said to have confidence
    when we tried to sing it, right?
[06:38] Chris
    Yeah.
[06:39] Miracle
    With a great song like that, I'm thinking
    the ADEN Seed will be a breeze!
[06:44] Chris
    Let's both try to get first place!
[06:46] Miracle
    Yeah!
[06:47] Miracle
    It'll all come down to how well
    we can sing that song, huh?
[06:55] Miracle
    I've got no ideas!
[06:58] Miracle
    Anybody got any ideas?
[07:00] Miracle
    You, marumaru?
[07:02] Miracle
    Hey! Hey!
[07:04] Marumaru
    Are you talking to me?
[07:07] Miracle
    Yup.
[07:08] Marumaru
    Who's marumaru?
[07:10] Miracle
    That's your name, marumaru.
[07:12] Miracle
    Isn't it cute?
[07:16] Marumaru
    Fine. Whatever.
[07:20] Marumaru
    Why are you two here, anyway?
[07:24] Miracle
    Why wouldn't we be?
[07:25] Miracle
    ADEN is our home.
[07:28] Miracle
    And when I hold you in my arms,
     I feel so at peace.
[07:34] Miracle
    You're so round!
[07:39] Miracle
    Oh, no!
[07:41] Miracle
    Gotta get ready for class!
[07:44] Miracle
    Mine's canceled.
[07:46] Miracle
    What about you?
[07:48] Chris
    Communication class.
[07:49] Miracle
    You sure are taking a lot of classes.
[07:52] Miracle
    What is it?
[07:53] Chris
    You're worried, Miracle.
[07:56] Chris
    Should I stay with you?
[07:57] Miracle
    It's fine, it's fine.
[07:58] Miracle
    Go take your class.
[08:00] Chris
    But...
[08:01] Miracle
    I'll check out the others' channels
    while I've got free time.
[08:05] Chris
    Okay.
[08:07] Miracle
    See you later.
[08:11] Vanity-sensei
    and there are many cases
    where better communication
[08:16] Vanity-sensei
    between artist and viewer
    can open new paths.
[08:19] Vanity-sensei
    Think about how you can apply
    this to your own channel.
[08:22] Miracle
    What's my rank right now?
[08:24] Sign
    Big
    Announcement!!!
[08:24] Sign

[08:38] Miracle
    23?!
[08:39] Miracle
    Wow! Noelle's amazing!
[08:43] Chris
    I came up a good idea.
[08:43] Sign
    I came up a good idea.
[08:44] Miracle
    What?
[08:45] Chris
    Communicate.
[08:46] Sign
    Communicate.
[08:47] Miracle
    Communicate what? With who?
[08:49] Chris
    Vanity-sensei.
[08:49] Sign
    Vanity-sensei.
[08:51] Miracle
    You mean ask the teacher?
[08:54] Miracle
    Vanity-sensei!
[08:58] Vanity-sensei
    Oh, Miracle-san.
[09:01] Vanity-sensei
    What is it?
[09:02] Miracle
    Tell me the secret to doing a good job
    singing the song for the ADEN Seed!
[09:05] Vanity-sensei
    I'm glad to see you're
    enthusiastic about it,
[09:08] Vanity-sensei
    but before you start looking for secrets,
     have you done the basics?
[09:13] Vanity-sensei
    You need to master the basics before
    moving on to anything advanced.
[09:19] Vanity-sensei
    There was a lot that needed improvement
    in your performance the other day.
[09:23] Vanity-sensei
    Wouldn't fixing those things
    be a better use of your time?
[09:28] Miracle
    Th-Thank you!
[09:35] Chris
    There you are, Miracle.
[09:37] Miracle
    Thanks for the advice! I asked Vanity-sensei.
[09:40] Chris
    How'd it go?
[09:41] Miracle
    He told me something really basic,
    and I didn't get to ask anything.
[09:46] Chris
    Ask again, maybe?
[09:47] Miracle
    No...
[09:49] Chris
    You could ask somebody else this time.
[09:51] Miracle
    Who?
[09:52] Chris
    The principal.
[09:53] Miracle
    Principal...? You mean Principal Auris?
[09:56] Miracle
    I couldn't do that.
[09:58] Chris
    Why?
[09:59] Miracle
    Huh? "Why"?
[10:01] Chris
    She picked the song.
[10:03] Miracle
    Yeah, but... she's the principal!
[10:07] Chris
    She told us to ask if we had
    questions this morning.
[10:11] Miracle
    Yeah, she did, but...
[10:16] Miracle
    I really did come!
[10:18] Miracle
    I'm so nervous!
[10:25] Miracle
    It's Ada!
[10:26] Miracle
    Ada's heading right for me!
[10:41] Miracle
    Um... that was Ada-san wasn't it?
[10:46] Auris
    Yes.
[10:47] Auris
    Pursuing one's ideals is a difficult thing.
[10:52] Miracle
    I-I see?
[10:54] Auris
    So, what can I do for you?
[10:55] Auris
    Miracle-san, a student in
    our virtual artist course.
[10:59] Auris
    Miracle-san?
[11:01] Miracle
    Oh, right?
[11:02] Miracle
    Is there some trick to doing a good
    job singing the ADEN Seed song?
[11:06] Miracle
    I asked Vanity-sensei...
[11:11] Auris
    And why do you want to know?
[11:14] Miracle
    Well, um... because you
    need to win the ADEN Seed
[11:19] Miracle
    to get to the Virtual Grid Awards.
[11:23] Auris
    And you think if you knew the trick to
    singing the song, you could do that?
[11:28] Auris
    Is that really all you need right now?
[11:33] Miracle
    Wait, wait.
[11:34] Miracle
    You can't win the ADEN Seed
    just by knowing the trick
[11:37] Miracle
    and doing a great job singing the song?
[11:40] Auris
    Why do you want to be in
    the Virtual Grid Awards?
[11:44] Miracle
    Because I saw AI-chan win the
    Lapin d'Or when I was young,
[11:49] Miracle
    and she looked so amazing...
[11:51] Miracle
    That's what made me want
    to be a virtual artist.
[11:55] Miracle
    My dream is to win the
    Lapin d'Or, like AI-chan!
[11:59] Auris
    The Lapin d'Or is the ultimate prize
    that all virtual artists dream of winning.
[12:05] Auris
    Your dream is something
    that everyone else shares.
[12:08] Auris
    They reach out for it as hard as they
    possibly can, and still fail to reach it.
[12:14] Auris
    Miracle-san, what does
    your dream mean to you?
[12:21] Miracle
    I'd never thought about it.
[12:24] Chris
    Miracle.
[12:27] Miracle
    What did those words
    Principal Auris said mean?
[12:31] Miracle
    What does my dream mean?
[12:34] Miracle
    I want to be like AI-chan. That's been
    my dream ever since I was little.
[12:40] Miracle
    AI-chan! I'm a virtual artist now!
[12:45] Miracle
    I want the Lapin d'Or!
[12:49] Miracle
    Is that enough?
[12:53] Miracle
    Is that your dream?
[12:55] Miracle
    I don't really understand yet...
[12:58] Miracle
    But I love AI-chan!
[13:01] Miracle
    I love virtual artists!
[13:04] Miracle
    So...
[13:05] Miracle
    I want to share that!
[13:07] Miracle
    I'm going to go do a stream!
SIGN    It's me, Miracle!
[13:10] Miracle
    It's me, Miracle!
[13:12] Miracle
    I started this stream because I really
    want to share with you how I feel!
[13:16] Miracle
    Did you hear the song for the ADEN Seed yet?
[13:18] Miracle
    I was trying to come up with
    a way to sing it right.
[13:22] Miracle
    And I had a great idea: I just had
    to learn the trick to singing it!
[13:29] Miracle
    But I couldn't figure it out,
    so I went to see Principal Auris!
[13:36] Miracle
    And she asked me if the "trick"
    was really what I needed.
[13:41] Miracle
    I couldn't answer her.
[13:44] Miracle
    Oh, she was super nice!
[13:47] Miracle
    I just don't really understand it.
[13:50] Miracle
    But there's one thing I understand.
    I love virtual artists!
[13:55] Miracle
    And right now, something inside me is
    telling me to share something with you all!
[14:01] Miracle
    So I'm going to sing!
[14:05] [SONG] Song
    Wonder heart connect the rainbow
[14:09] [SONG] Song
    towards a future where you'll
    find a bright, refreshing wind
[14:22] [SONG] Song
    My alarm clock rings and
    I rush out in the morning
[14:29] [SONG] Song
    The constant rain makes me want to give up
[14:36] [SONG] Song
    But I want to nurture the feelings
    that have sprouted inside me
[14:43] [SONG] Song
    because I believe a spring wind will blow
[14:48] [SONG] Song
    Even if the world I dreamed of is
    far away and feels like a mirage
[14:55] [SONG] Song

    it's crossed over dimensions
[15:04] [SONG] Song

    Welcome back, Miracle.
[16:07] Chris
    You've got a lot of comments.
[16:08] Miracle
    Really? Yay!
[16:10] Sign
    Nice!
[16:10] Sign
    That was intense!
[16:10] Sign
    You're the best!!
[16:12] Miracle
    It's looking pretty good, huh?
[16:15] Chris
    Yeah, it is.
[16:17] Chris
    You got a message.
[16:18] Miracle
    An invitation message?
[16:20] Miracle
    From Noelle?
[16:27] Miracle
    What's going on?
[16:32] Miracle
    Noelle?
[16:34] Miracle
    The Noelle, who's always
    at the top of the rankings,
[16:37] Miracle
    and is super cute and super
    popular and super talented?
[16:40] Miracle
    No way!
[16:42] Miracle
    I saw your channel! 23rd place!
    That's incredible!
[16:46] Noelle
    I can't believe you.
[16:48] Noelle
    You call yourself an artist?
[16:52] Noelle
    An artist's job is to come up with
    your own ideas and express them.
[16:56] Noelle
    And you went to ask
    Principal Auris for help?
[17:00] Miracle
    She said to ask if we had questions!
[17:03] Noelle
    I've never heard of anybody
    actually going, though!
[17:06] Miracle
    She's scary!
[17:07] Noelle
    And I can't believe the way you said you
    "Just ran through it" on your stream,
[17:12] Noelle
    like you're making excuses!
[17:15] Noelle
    Seeing lazy girls like you
     really annoys me.
[17:22] Noelle
    You need to cut it out.
[17:25] Noelle
    You're the one who'll have to
    live with the embarrassment.
[17:33] Chris
    Miracle...
[17:35] Miracle
    What was that?
[17:36] Miracle
    Why did she have to get angry at me?
[17:38] Miracle
    I did my best!
[17:40] Chris
    Yeah.
[17:42] Miracle
    I put a lot of thought into
    my dream and the song...
[17:47] Miracle
    I thought I did.
[17:50] Miracle
    I mean, I've got a long way to go.
    I can't do it like Noelle can.
[17:55] Miracle
    But what gives Noelle the right to say
    that stuff? She doesn't know anything.
[18:02] Miracle
    It's so frustrating!
[18:04] Miracle
    But marumaru makes me feel so much better!
[18:09] Miracle
    But I do understand what
    she's saying... a little.
[18:15] Chris
    Yeah.
[18:17] Miracle
    Chris, all you say is "Yeah."
[18:20] Chris
    I understand that you're worrying
    a lot and thinking a lot.
[18:25] Chris
    I saw it.
[18:26] Miracle
    Chris...
[18:27] Chris
    What's bothering you right now?
[18:29] Miracle
    Nothing's bothering me...
[18:32] Miracle
    I'm just thinking that Noelle was right.
[18:36] Miracle
    I need to shape up, don't I?
[18:45] Noelle
    It's not good enough...
[18:51] Vanity
    Noelle, you need to get some
    sleep to be ready for tomorrow.
[18:56] Noelle
    Just a little more.
[18:58] Vanity
    Don't stay up too late.
[19:01] Noelle
    Thanks.
[19:13] Noelle
    This is my chance...
    and I'm going to take it!

[21:35] Vanity
    Question 1.
[21:36] Vanity
    The Lapin d'Or is the highest
    award you can win at the VGAs.
[21:36] Sign
    The Lapin d'Or is the highest award
     you can win at the VGAs.
SIGN    What animal is it based off of?
[21:42] Vanity
    What animal is it based off of?
[21:46] Miracle
    I know!
SIGN    A rabbit
[21:47] Miracle
    A rabbit!
[21:48] Miracle
    Yay!
[21:49] Sign
    Question 2
[21:50] Vanity
    Okay, question 2.
[21:51] Sign
    The Lapin d'Or is famous for its reputation as an NFT.
[21:52] Vanity
    The Lapin d'Or is famous for
    its reputation as an NFT.
SIGN    What is an NFT?
[21:57] Vanity
    What is an NFT?
[22:00] Miracle
    NFT...?
[22:04] Vanity
    Out of time.
[22:04] Sign
    Question 2
SIGN    What is an NFT?
[22:06] Miracle
    Oh, no! I thought too much
    and my head froze up!
[22:10] Miracle
    So uh, what's an NFT?
[22:12] Vanity
    Non-Fungible Token.
[22:14] Vanity
    ...is what it's short for.
[22:16] Miracle
    "Non-Fungible Token"?
[22:18] Vanity
    You don't understand, do you?
[22:20] Miracle
    Tell me, Vanity!
[22:22] Vanity
    Do you want a detailed explanation?
    Or a quick rundown...
[22:25] Miracle
    A quick rundown!
SIGN    A quick rundown!
[22:27] Vanity
    "Non-Fungible Token"
[22:29] Vanity
    refers to tokens
    that are not fungible.
[22:29] Sign
    refers to tokens that are not fungible
[22:33] Miracle
    That was too quick!
[22:34] Miracle
    Not fungible? What's a token?
[22:37] Vanity
    Miracle, do you understand
    what fungible means?
[22:41] Miracle
    Um... does it have something
    to do with replacement?
[22:44] Vanity
    Yes. "Fungible" means it can be replaced
    with something that's identical to it.
[22:48] Vanity
    Thus, a token is non-fungible if there is
    no equivalent that it can replaced with.
[22:54] Miracle
    So there's only one of it, right?
[22:56] Vanity
    "Token" is a general term for a cryptographic
     asset issued via blockchain technology!
[22:58] Sign
    "Token" is a general term for a cryptographic assets issued via blockchain technology
[23:03] Miracle
    So non-fungible tokens are cryptographic
    assets that are one-of-a-kind?
[23:06] Sign
    Non-fungible tokens are cryptographic assets that are one-of-a-kind
[23:09] Vanity
    That's right.
[23:11] Vanity
    The inability to make a copy of
    them means you can't make fakes.
SIGN    Since they can't be faked, they're really secure. They're used for appraisals for digital art, too!
[23:15] Miracle
    So they're really secure!
[23:17] Vanity
    They're also excellent for appraisals and
    proofs of authenticity for digital art!
[23:23] Vanity
    That's what NFTs are!
[23:25] Miracle
    So that's an NFT...
[23:28] Vanity
    Now on to our next problem...
[23:31] Miracle
    I need to get some sugar in my bloodstream
    or my head won't work right!
[23:34] Miracle
    So that's all for this week!
    See you next time!

    Why do you keep coming here?

[02:21] marumaru
    Sure. Great. But why here?
[02:26] marumaru
    And...
[02:27] marumaru
    Why did you bring somebody else with you?

[02:31] Miracle
    Right?
[02:32] marumaru
    But why here, of all places?
[02:36] Miracle
    Hey Chris, how was my dance?
[02:40] Chris
    You were dancing.
[02:42] Miracle
    I mean, yes,
[02:44] Miracle

    or ways I could improve?
[02:50] Chris
    We can dance together and I'll show you.
[02:53] Miracle
    Really? Yeah!
[02:56] marumaru
    Could you please do that somewhere else?
[03:13] Miracle
    I'm so tired!

    Would you please not use me as a pillow?

    Why not? I'm tired!

    Chris, you're amazing. Why aren't you tired?

    I am.
[03:30] Miracle
    I need to get more stamina!
[03:32] Miracle
    Okay! One more time!
[03:38] Chris
    Miracle, why are you working so hard?
[03:41] Miracle
    Why?
[03:43] Miracle
    Remember what Noelle said?
[03:46] Miracle
    I realized that she's right.
[03:50] Miracle
    If I have time to make excuses,
[03:52] Miracle
    I should be spending that time practicing
    as hard as I can so that I can be my best!
[03:59] Miracle
    I'm just an ordinary girl, you know.
[04:02] Chris
    Ordinary?
[04:03] Miracle
    That's right. I was born to an ordinary
    family, with ordinary parents.
[04:08] Miracle
    Who drove an ordinary car.
[04:11] Miracle
    I've lived an ordinary life.
    I had nothing to give me confidence.
[04:17] Miracle
    But when I met AI-chan and
    learned about virtual artists...
[04:21] Miracle
    I realized that here,
    even an ordinary girl like me
[04:23] Miracle
    can become the girl she's
    always dreamed of being!
[04:27] Miracle
    That's how it seemed to me!
[04:32] Miracle
    So I'm going to do my best!
[04:34] Miracle
    That's my raison d'être!
[04:39] Chris
    Raison d'être...
[04:42] Miracle
    Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.
[04:46] Miracle
    Now let's get back to work, Chris!
[04:48] Miracle
    Thanks for helping!
[04:50] Chris
    Sure.
[04:53] Chris
    Why not try to focus on the
    start of the chorus a bit more?
[04:56] Miracle
    Got it! I'll try!
[04:58] Miracle
    Several Days Later
[05:04] Miracle
    Well?
[05:05] Chris
    You've gotten better.

    What about you, marumaru?
[05:12] Miracle
    Well?
[05:13] marumaru
    Well, it was probably fine!
[05:17] Miracle
    Okay! I'll go dance on stage. Watch me.

    Bad?
[06:10] Miracle
    Yeah.
[06:11] Miracle
    I want to get better! Tell me!
[06:18] Miracle
    It can be something besides
    the performance itself.
[06:20] Miracle
    Did you notice anything?
[06:23] Chris
    Your talk...
[06:25] Miracle
    My talk?
[06:26] Miracle
    Like how?
[06:30] Miracle

[06:34] marumaru
    I don't know, 'cause I didn't
    watch that carefully, but...
[06:37] Miracle
    Go on and say it!
[06:40] marumaru
    It was... okay, I guess.
[06:42] marumaru
    None of it was really exciting to listen to.
[06:45] Miracle
    That's harsh for somebody
    who didn't really watch it!
[06:47] marumaru
    If you really want to know what
    I think... you're ordinary.
[06:51] marumaru
    Ordinary... ordinary... ordinary...
[06:54] Miracle
    No!
[06:57] Miracle
    They praised my dancing, but now the wall
    of "ordinary" is blocking my path again...
[07:10] Miracle
    Ordinary
[07:12] Miracle
    I'm sick of being ordinary!
[07:16] Chris
    Practice.
[07:19] Miracle
    What?
[07:20] Chris
    You got better at dancing.
    You can get better at talking, too.
[07:23] Chris
    Good luck.
[07:26] Miracle
    Yeah.
[07:27] Miracle
    I'll just have to work hard.
[07:29] Miracle
    Okay, next is practicing talking!
[07:36] marumaru
    So you're doing that here, too...
[07:39] Miracle
    AI-chan's the best.
[07:42] Miracle
    Her talk is perfect!
[07:44] AI
    She feels like she's just talking,
[07:46] AI
    but she keeps things moving and
    what she says is interesting.
[07:49] AI
    And she's good at ad-libbing.
[07:51] Miracle
    And she has a chipper, cute voice.
[07:55] Miracle
    Hello, there! I'm Kizuna AI.
[07:58] Miracle
    I'm going to stream a game today!
[08:01] Chris
    You're copying her?
[08:02] Miracle
    Well? Do I sound like her?
[08:04] Chris
    No.
[08:06] Miracle
    How can I learn to talk like AI-chan?
[08:09] Miracle
    How do I practice something like that?
[08:13] marumaru
    Um...
[08:15] Miracle
    marumaru, do you have any ideas?
[08:17] marumaru
    Would you let me go?
[08:19] Miracle
    Why?
[08:20] marumaru
    This is really awkward.
[08:22] Miracle
    Don't worry! For me, it's really relaxing!
[08:25] Chris
    Why not stream yourself talking a bunch?
[08:29] Miracle
    Stream?
[08:30] Chris
    You got better at dancing by
    doing it again and again.
[08:33] Chris
    So if you talk a bunch, too...
[08:35] Miracle
    I see.
[08:36] Miracle
    I might get better.
[08:38] Miracle
    But what can I talk about on my own?
[08:42] Miracle

[11:59] Miracle
    Talking.
[12:00] Quan

    Forget it!
[13:50] Miracle
    I'll just stay bad at talking!

    You said that in this world, you can

[16:27] Chris
    I realized when I saw it... that in this
    world you can be whatever you want to be.
[16:32] Miracle
    I'd thought I'd been doing what I wanted to
    do so that I could be like AI-chan, but...
[16:37] Chris
    But?
[16:38] Miracle
    Maybe I was tied down by the idea
    that I had to be like AI-chan?
[16:43] marumaru
    That was you being tied down?
[16:46] marumaru
    I should've been more free
    to do whatever I wanted.
[16:51] Chris

[16:54] Miracle
    Yes! A way I can talk a lot
    about whatever I want!

[17:36] Miracle
    She's a great singer! A great dancer!
[17:38] Miracle
    A great talker! And she's cute!
[17:41] Miracle
    Her face, her voice, the way
    she moves, it's all cute!
[17:46] Miracle
    But the best part about her is how she
    can give courage to an ordinary girl.
[17:53] Miracle
    I was just an ordinary girl,
    with nothing special about me.
[17:58] Miracle
    But one day, I saw AI-chan on stage...
[18:02] Miracle
    And I told myself I wanted to be like her!
     I wanted to shine like she does!
[18:09] Miracle
    AI-chan let an ordinary girl like me dream.

    try and achieve my dreams.

[00:27] Chris
    With marumaru's advice, Miracle tried again.
[00:32] Chris
    It wasn't quite in the way she
    anticipated, but she did go viral.

[01:05] [SONG] Song

[01:11] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:15] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in

[01:36] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[01:42] [SONG] Song
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:47] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[01:51] [SONG] Song
    Our shared wish binds us together
    as we ride this tailwind
[01:57] [SONG] Song
    How far can we go? With
    our hands linked tightly
[02:02] [SONG] Song

[04:04] marumaru
    You're aware that an AI that decides
    your Virtual Artist channel ranking, right?
[04:09] Miracle
    Well, yes.
[04:10] marumaru
    The AI takes into account a lot of things
    besides just your performance and talk.
[04:16] Miracle
    Yeah.
[04:17] marumaru
    Your rank won't go up much
     from just one viral video.
[04:22] Miracle
    I see.
[04:25] Miracle

[08:46] Chris
    I will if you're going, Miracle.
[08:54] Miracle
    Um... what are we doing here?
[08:58] Noelle
    As a fellow student at ADEN Academy,
     I'm ashamed of you!
[09:03] Miracle
    Why?
[09:04] Chris
    Did you do something shameful, Miracle?
[09:07] Miracle
    Um...
[09:09] Noelle
    I told you before, right?
[09:11] Noelle
    That I hate the way you're making
    excuses while you stream!
[09:18] Miracle
    Oh, that?
[09:19] Noelle
    Yes, that!
[09:21] Noelle
    You're just doing every idea that pops into your
    head without stopping to think for even a second!
[09:27] Noelle
    What is your problem?
[09:29] Miracle
    Um...
[09:30] Noelle
    Do you think liking Kizuna AI a lot is
    enough to make you a top virtual artist?
[09:35] Noelle
    Like earlier today, you just took a video
    from class and threw it up online.
[09:40] Noelle
    You're not thinking at all!
[09:42] Noelle
    Why would you think that would work?
[09:44] Noelle
    And then you blame the song and
    say it's not right for you?
[09:47] Noelle
    Aren't you embarrassed?
[09:49] Miracle
    O-Oh, that was...
[09:50] Noelle
    No excuses!
[09:55] Noelle
    Be ready.
[09:57] Noelle
    My lessons are tough!
[10:03] Miracle
    Um...
[10:06] Miracle
    Lessons? What lessons?
[10:07] Noelle
    I refuse to just sit back and watch
[10:09] Noelle
    while someone like you tries to
    half-ass their way through school!
[10:14] Miracle
    Half-ass?
[10:16] Noelle
    Yeah.
[10:16] Noelle
    So I'm going to teach you and
    hopefully make you a little better.
[10:20] Miracle
    But, I'm not...
[10:21] Noelle
    My virtual artist channel ranking is 12.
[10:24] Noelle
    What's yours?
[10:25] Miracle
    489.
[10:28] Miracle
    B-But...
[10:30] Miracle
    I'm trying everything I can think of...
[10:33] Noelle
    Yeah, you've tried everything
    you could think of.
[10:35] Noelle
    And none of it is working, right?
[10:38] Noelle
    Even if you think it should work,
    it's not connecting with anyone.
[10:41] Noelle
    Listen to me. Start by
    facing the song head on.
[10:45] Miracle
    Face the song?
[10:47] Noelle
    Really think about it. Don't just
    sing it and be done with it.
[10:50] Noelle
    Then you'll know what it means
    to connect with someone.
[10:55] Miracle
    Face the song...
[10:57] Miracle
    Connect...
[11:00] Miracle
    What does that mean?
[11:02] Miracle
    There's the song... and then I do
    the dance I learned in class...
[11:06] Miracle
    And then... and then...
[11:07] Noelle
    That makes you no different than a
    singing, dancing machine, right?
[11:08] Vanity
    Shake shake shake.
[11:10] Vanity
    Nnn-pah!
[11:12] Miracle
    But it's all I can do to just sing the
    song and dance without messing up...
[11:17] Noelle
    And the result of that is
    the video you just upped?
[11:19] Miracle
    But...
[11:21] Miracle
    But I'm trying to be like AI-chan, and
    always be happy and cheerful when I sing...
[11:26] Noelle
    That's not all you learned
    from Kizuna AI, is it?
[11:31] Miracle
    What I learned from AI-chan?

    In other words, it's up to you from now on!

    Yes...

    You're making original lyrics?
[18:45] Noelle
    Are you just going to chase after
    another idea that came into your head?
[18:48] Miracle
    Well, I guess I got a bit greedy
    after what you taught me.
[18:52] Miracle
    I was thinking I might be
    able to get even better...
[18:55] Noelle
    Don't get cocky just because you
    were able to sing it right once!
[19:00] Noelle
    You know it's not that easy
    to write lyrics, right?
[19:05] Noelle
    I'm using the standard lyrics.
[19:08] Miracle
    You are?
[19:09] Miracle
    But I bet you could write your
    own lyrics if you wanted to.
[19:13] Miracle
    Your singing and performance are perfect.

    I'm a little worried about doing it myself,
    but I think I can do it if you all try with me!

    to try original lyrics yourself.
[05:50] Miracle

    What's wrong? Did I say something
    to make you angry again?
[09:22] Miracle
    Noelle...
[09:25] Miracle
    Did I do something to make her angry?
[09:27] Miracle
    Maybe I started relying on her too
    much just 'cause she helped me?
[09:31] Miracle
    I invited her to write lyrics without
    thinking about how she'd feel...
[09:35] Miracle
    What else could it be?
[09:37] Miracle
    Did she find out that during my last practice,
    I got so tired I fell asleep for 10 minutes?!
[09:42] Miracle
    But I told Chris to keep it a secret!
[09:44] Miracle
    Did Chris betray me?!
[09:47] Noelle
    Leave me alone.

[10:33] Noelle

[10:51] Noelle
    It's not your fault.
[10:54] Noelle
    I'm just taking it out on you.
[10:57] Noelle
    It's not that I'm not interested
    in writing lyrics.
[11:01] Miracle
    Is that true?
[11:03] Miracle
    Then why?
[11:04] Noelle
    I'm still not at the level where
    I can write lyrics. That's all.
[11:14] (Flashback) Singer
    Thank you.
[11:17] (Flashback) Singer
    I'll treasure it when I sing it.
[11:20] Noelle
    Because of my father's job, I knew all about
    how important songs and lyrics were.
[11:26] Noelle
    I thought it was wonderful that they could
    bring out what was in the singer's heart.
[11:30] Noelle
    So when I was young, I used to try to
    write songs myself, like my dad did.
[11:35] Noelle
    Because I wanted to express my
    feelings through songs, like he did.
[11:43] (Flashback) Noelle
    Sister, do you have a second?
[11:46] Noelle
    I once let my sister hear
    the first song I wrote.
[11:53] (Flashback) Noelle
    What do you think?
[11:59] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    Noelle, what was it you wanted
    to get across with this song?
[12:04] (Flashback) Noelle
    Huh? Well...
[12:06] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    If it's not what you really want to share,
[12:09] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    you shouldn't show it when
    it's only halfway done.
[12:11] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    You're the one who'll embarrass yourself.
[12:14] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    You need to make yourself grow.
[12:18] (Flashback) Noelle
    Myself?
[12:20] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    Yes, whether you're performing
    or writing songs,
[12:24] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    it needs to be something
    you can be proud of.
[12:29] (Flashback) Noelle's Sister
    You have the power to make something great!
[12:33] Noelle
    I'm not proud or perfect yet.
[12:36] Noelle
    I can't try something new right now...
[12:40] Noelle
    I wouldn't be able to do it perfectly...

    so I wondered what you thought yourself...
[13:29] Noelle
    What I thought?
[13:31] Miracle
    When I first started out as a
    virtual artist, I was so happy.
[13:36] Miracle
    I wasn't any good at dancing or
    singing, but I loved streaming.
[13:41] Miracle
    And ever since you told me about the
    importance of connecting with the music,
[13:44] Miracle
    it's only become more fun!
[13:46] Miracle
    You're the one who taught me that, Noelle!
[13:49] Miracle
    Does your family really
    want you to be perfect?
[13:55] Noelle
    Well...
[13:56] Miracle
    I think it's good to be perfect, sure.
[14:00] Miracle
    But I think it's more important for
    you to be someone you can love!
[14:07] Miracle
    Why don't you try writing lyrics?
[14:09] Noelle
    B-But if I can't write them well...
[14:12] Miracle
    If that happens...
[14:14] Miracle
    Well, you could just write them again!
[14:17] Miracle
    Oh, look at the time!
[14:19] Miracle
    Let's finish our drinks and
    head back to the others.
[14:22] Miracle
    They're probably worried.
[14:33] Noelle
    What are you doing?
[14:35] Miracle
    I forgot that I dropped it.
[14:46] Noelle
    Wow, it even got in your hair.
[14:49] Miracle
    I got sprayed right in the face.
[14:51] Miracle
    I'm glad it's warm out today.
[14:54] Noelle
    This is good.
[14:56] Miracle
    Right?
[14:56] Miracle
    They only sell it at the store back there.
[14:59] Noelle
    Why not feature it on your next video?
[15:01] Miracle
    That might be a good idea!
[15:04] Noelle
    Miracle, I'm going to try writing lyrics.
[15:08] Miracle
    Really?
[15:09] Noelle
    My family may not accept
    it yet, but I want to try.
[15:13] Noelle
    I think that's the way to make
    myself someone I can love.
[15:17] Miracle
    Yeah, that's a great idea.
[15:19] Noelle
    Your videos suck, and you post them anyway.
[15:22] Noelle
    I want to be like you.
[15:24] Miracle
    Great!
[15:26] Miracle
    Wait, that was a compliment, right?
[15:31] Noelle
    Well, probably.
[15:32] Miracle
    You're making fun of me!
[15:34] Noelle
    I am! I said it was a compliment.
[15:37] Miracle
    It was not a compliment!
[15:39] Miracle
    Do you know what your punishment will be?
[15:42] Miracle
    This!
[15:43] Noelle
    Hey!
[15:48] Noelle
    I think I kind of understand what
    my sister was trying to say.

[16:06] marumaru
    You're not getting anywhere.
[16:08] Miracle
    I write and delete, and write and delete...
[16:10] Miracle
    It's not going anywhere!
[16:13] Chris
    Just write down all the words
    that come into your head.
[16:17] marumaru
    Isn't that what got her
    in trouble last time?
[16:20] Chris
    That's right, actually.
[16:22] Miracle
    But I won't give up!
[16:24] Miracle
    I'll do my best!
[16:27] Miracle
    N-Noelle!
[16:28] Noelle
    I figured you'd be here.
[16:30] Miracle
    What is it?
[16:32] Noelle
    U-Um...
[16:34] Noelle
    I tried writing my lyrics.
[16:36] Miracle
    You were able to?
[16:38] Noelle
    Yeah.
[16:39] Noelle
    Will you listen?
[16:41] Miracle
    I can't wait!

    A train following the rails laid out for it
[17:06] [SONG] Song
    Quivering and telling myself this is destiny
[17:13] [SONG] Song
    I don't know what the right answer is

[18:24] marumaru
    The lyrics were great.
[18:26] Noelle
    Really?
[18:27] Miracle
    Yes! I was so moved I was shaking!
[18:31] Miracle

[18:45] Noelle
    I was so nervous!
[18:46] Miracle
    You didn't look it.
[18:49] Noelle
    Really?
[18:51] Noelle
    Well, I guess I'm just that good.
[18:54] Miracle
    Wow, you've got such a smirk on your face!
[18:56] marumaru
    Were those two always that close?
[18:59] Chris
    Noelle is mysterious.
[19:02] marumaru
    So are you.

    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[19:37] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[19:42] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[19:47] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[19:53] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[19:58] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[20:03] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[20:08] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying

    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[20:16] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[20:21] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world

[21:06] Miracle
    Now, today we have something
    very special to show you.
[21:11] Noelle
    Whatever could it be?
[21:14] Miracle
    Here it is!
[21:15] Miracle
    Bursting with the flavors
    of youth, it's Bubbly ADEN!
[21:17] Miracle
    Bursting with the flavors of youth!
[21:17] Miracle
    Bubbly ADEN
[21:19] Noelle
    She let me try some, and its taste
    is both refreshing and delicious!
[21:25] Miracle
    That's right. It's a refreshing
    flavor with a crisp lemon taste!
[21:31] Miracle
    It's also got hints of honey, as well.
[21:34] Miracle
    The honey flavor keeps it from
    being too sour with all of the lemon,
[21:39] Miracle
    making the level of sweetness just right.
[21:42] Noelle
    And what's more, the
    bitterness of the lemon…
[21:45] Miracle
    Yes, that's right!
[21:45] Miracle
    Bursting with the flavors of youth!
[21:45] Miracle
    Bubbly ADEN
[21:46] Miracle
    You can still taste the bitterness
    of the lemon, which is great!
[21:50] Miracle
    It accents the taste and makes
    it incredibly addicting!
[21:54] Noelle
    I see, there's both a sweet
    and sour taste, which…
[21:57] Miracle
    Which makes it truly the taste of youth!
[22:01] Miracle
    And what's more, it's also got bubbly
    carbonation, just like the name implies!
[22:06] Miracle
    It feels so good in your
    mouth when you drink it!
[22:09] Miracle
    The carbonation isn't too strong or too weak,
[22:13] Miracle
    it's something that people of all
    ag… of all ages can enjoy!
[22:17] Miracle
    Bursting with the flavors of youth!
[22:17] Miracle
    Bubbly ADEN
[22:18] Noelle
    You bit your tongue, didn't you?
[22:20] Miracle
    You can also put ice into a cup and pour
    the Bubbly ADEN into it to cool it,
[22:27] Miracle
    which makes it even more delicious!
[22:29] Noelle
    It would be perfect for hot days or
    when you just get out of the bath!
[22:33] Miracle
    Tch-tch-tch!
[22:34] Miracle
    Bursting with the flavors of youth!
[22:34] Miracle
    Bubbly ADEN
[22:35] Miracle
    It's not just for summer!
[22:36] Miracle
    In winter, you can sit under a heated
    blanket and drink it while gaming!
[22:39] Miracle
    The feeling of cold Bubbly ADEN flowing
    through your warm body… it's incredible!

    Entries for the Virtual
    Grid Awards have begun,
[00:07] marumaru
    and while it's not going easy for Miracle,
    her ranking is gradually going up.
[00:11] marumaru
    She's decided to create her
    own original lyrics for her entry.
[00:16] marumaru
    Noelle wasn't as interested at first...
[00:20] (Flashback) Noelle
    I'm not proud or perfect yet.
[00:23] (Flashback) Noelle
    I can't try something new right now...
[00:27] (Flashback) Noelle
    I wouldn't be able to do it perfectly...
[00:30] (Flashback) Miracle
    But I think it's more important for
    you to be someone you can love!
[00:36] marumaru
    But Miracle's words helped Noelle
    overcome her anxiety,
[00:39] marumaru
    and she made a wonderful
    set of original lyrics.

    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[01:05] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:10] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:16] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:20] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[01:29] [SONG] Song
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[01:31] [SONG] Song
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill

    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[01:41] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end

    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:52] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as

    Our shared wish binds us together

    Here's some ant information you'll
    think c-ANT possibly be true!
[04:01] Chris
    Ants are basically elephants!
SIGN    Basically
SIGN    Basically elephants
[04:05] Chris
    You were just thinking that an
    elephant is way bigger, right?
[04:09] Chris
    But we're comparing speed!
SIGN    Some ants can move 10 centimeters in a second!
[04:13] Chris
    Some ants can move 10
    centimeters in a second!
SIGN    This means they can move 360 meters in an hour.
[04:19] Chris
    This means they can move
    360 meters in an hour.
SIGN    An African Elephant moves at 40 kilometers an hour.
[04:23] Chris
    An African Elephant moves
    at 40 kilometers an hour.
[04:27] Chris
    So you might think that the ants c-ANT win.
[04:33] Chris
    But let's pretend the length
    of an ant is one meter.
SIGN    36 km/hr
SIGN    40 km/hr
[04:38] Chris
    At that size, their speed would be 36 km/hr.
[04:43] Chris
    Which means that according
    to one way of thinking,
[04:45] Chris
    ants are basically elephants.
[04:46] [SONG] Sign
    ants
[04:47] [SONG] Sign

[04:52] Chris
    Ant-i-vederci.
[04:55] Noelle
    She's no longer mysterious!
    She's just weird!
[04:59] Miracle
    I think I understand Chris even less now.
[05:04] marumaru
    She said she was going on a
    journey to find herself, right?
[05:08] Miracle
    Yeah.
[05:09] marumaru
    Maybe she's trying to figure
    out who she really is.
[05:15] Miracle
    Who she really is?
[05:17] Noelle
    Yeah, this weird-as-hell
    ant video is one thing...
[05:23] Noelle
    But while Chris is a good performer,
[05:26] Noelle
    she doesn't really have anything
    that makes her unique.
[05:28] marumaru
    She seems like an airhead,
[05:30] marumaru
    but maybe she's actually trying
    to figure out who she is.
[05:34] Miracle
    Yeah.
[05:36] Miracle
    Maybe...
[05:39] Miracle
    Chris was always listening to
    me whenever I was upset...
[05:43] Miracle
    But she was actually upset and
    wanted someone to talk to.
[05:47] Noelle
    Miracle...
[05:48] Miracle
    Maybe we should go see her.
[05:51] Noelle
    Go see her?
[05:53] Miracle
    In real life!
[05:55] Noelle
    Why real life?
[05:56] Noelle
    Virtual reality isn't good enough?
[05:58] Miracle
    Well, you came to see me in
    real life without asking!
[06:01] Noelle
    True, but...
[06:03] Miracle
    Chris has been with me for a while, and never
    talked to me about this stuff before.
[06:07] Miracle
    So if something's bother her, I want
    to talk to her about it in person.
[06:11] marumaru
    Hey, Miracle.
[06:12] Miracle
    What?
[06:13] marumaru
    Has Chris ever told you she wanted
    to meet in real life, even once?
[06:18] Miracle
    No. But don't worry.
[06:21] Miracle
    I'll make sure it's okay
    before I talk to her!
[06:23] Miracle
    So it's fine, right?
[06:24] Noelle
    Fine.
[06:26] Noelle
    If that's what you really want
    to do, I'll go with you.

[06:57] Miracle
    Chris has always been there to help me out!

    Why me?
[07:30] Miracle
    Well, um... I don't know that many people.
[07:34] Miracle
    And there's nobody else I can ask.
[07:37] Miracle
    This is her.
[07:40] Miracle
    Have you seen her before?
[07:42] Q
    No.
[07:43] Q
    I think it would be hard to find
    someone who looked like that.
[07:47] Miracle
    I guess this picture's not good enough.
[07:49] Q
    That's part of it.
[07:51] Q
    But at ADEN, only about 50% of students use
    their real selves as the base for their avatar.
[07:57] Miracle
    Oh, right!
[07:58] Miracle
    I wonder if Chris didn't do that, then...
[08:00] Q
    And...
[08:02] Q
    A lot of people don't want anyone trying
    to get involved in their real-world lives.
[08:08] Miracle
    Oh, of course.
[08:11] Miracle
    Sorry to bother you.
[08:16] Q
    Oh, dear.
[08:17] Miracle
    Her avatar might not even look like her...
[08:19] Miracle
    Maybe it's impossible.
[08:22] Noelle
    Now that you mention it, the odds that
    we'll be able to find her are pretty low.
[08:26] Noelle
    There are ADEN Academies all over the world.
[08:29] Noelle
    We don't know for sure that the real-world
    Chris attends this one, ADEN Theta.
[08:34] Miracle
    True.
[08:38] Noelle
    What are you doing?
[08:40] Miracle
    L-Look...
[08:45] Noelle
    No way.
[08:45] Noelle
    There she is.
[08:48] Noelle
    What do we do?
[08:49] Miracle
    Leave her.
[08:50] Noelle
    Why?
[08:51] Miracle
    She looks fine to me.
[08:53] Miracle
    And it's probably not right to do this
    without thinking about her feelings...
[09:00] Miracle
    So I'll save it until Chris says she
    wants to see me in the real world.
[09:05] Noelle
    You're okay with that?
[09:06] Miracle
    Yeah!
[09:07] Miracle
    I've learned that she's a
     student at ADEN Theta.
[09:10] Miracle
    That's enough for today!
[09:11] Noelle
    Well, if you say so.
[09:16] Miracle
    It's been a week.
[09:18] Miracle
    What's Chris doing?
[09:21] Miracle
    Chris?!
[09:25] Miracle
    She finally found who she is!
[09:31] Chris
    Miracle...
[09:32] Miracle
    Wait, what happened?!
[09:37] Miracle
    Didn't you go on a journey to find yourself?
[09:39] Chris
    Yes.
[09:40] Chris
    I asked myself, "Why did I decide
    to become a virtual artist?"
[09:46] Chris
    "Why am I doing my performances?"
[09:50] Chris
    "Who am I?"
[09:53] Chris
    But I couldn't find an answer.
[09:55] Chris
    And then I remembered you.
[09:58] Miracle
    Why?
[10:00] Chris
    You said...
[10:02] (Flashback) Miracle
    So I'm going to do my best!
[10:04] (Flashback) Miracle
    That's my raison d'être!
[10:08] Chris
    You worked really hard to
    discover who you were.
[10:12] Chris
    If I work hard, maybe I can, too.
[10:15] Chris
    That's why I...
[10:16] Miracle
    That's why you...?
[10:18] Chris
    Came to the world of this game.
[10:20] Miracle
    Why a game?
[10:22] Chris
    But even here, I couldn't find
    an answer that satisfied me.
[10:27] Chris
    Maybe I never will.
[10:30] Miracle
    You don't know that yet, do you?
[10:33] Miracle
    It's fine!
[10:35] Miracle
    Leave it to me!
[10:38] marumaru
    But...
[10:40] Noelle
    Why do we have to play, too?
[10:42] Miracle
    If one person can't do it,
    then all of us can!
[10:44] Miracle
    Chris, we'll all help you find yourself!
[10:50] Chris
    Miracle...
[10:53] Miracle
    I'm kinda getting excited!
[10:55] marumaru
    It's not a field trip, okay?
[10:57] Noelle
    What kind of game is this, anyway?
[11:00] Chris
    Grid Treasure Hunt.
[11:02] marumaru
    Just like the title suggests, it's
    a game where you hunt for treasure.
[11:05] Chris
    A simulation game where you use tactics
    to steal treasure from each other.
[11:11] Noelle
    Enemies?
[11:15] marumaru
    She just said it!
[11:16] Miracle
    Oh, no! Oh, no!
[11:19] Miracle
    Noelle, watch out!
[11:24] Adventurer
    Gotcha!
[11:26] Chris
    Too slow!
[11:28] Adventurer
    Oh, no!
[11:31] Miracle
    Wow, Chris!
[11:33] Chris
    Thank you.
[11:35] Noelle
    They were nothing.
[11:37] marumaru
    You didn't do anything.
[11:40] Miracle
    Chris, where's the treasure?
[11:42] Chris
    It's a little farther ahead.
[11:44] Noelle
    This is easy with Chris' help, though.
[11:47] marumaru
    I had no idea she was so strong.
[11:50] Chris
    From this point on, we need to be careful.
[11:52] Miracle
    Aww, you're just being humble.
[11:55] Chris
    We've entered monster territory.
[11:58] Miracle
    Monster?
[12:00] Armor Vanity
    Vani-vani!
[12:01] Noelle
    Oh, it's just a Vanity!
[12:04] Chris
    No!
[12:06] Armor Vanity
    Vani!
[12:08] Noelle
    No!
[12:11] marumaru
    It got Noelle!
[12:13] Miracle
    What do we do?
[12:14] Chris
    I'll handle it.
[12:22] Armor Vanity
    Vani!
[12:25] Miracle
    Chris, you're amazing!
[12:29] Armor Vanity
    V-Vani...
[12:32] Miracle
    Wow, you did it!
[12:33] marumaru
    It feels like you could
    clear it all by yourself.
[12:37] Chris
    By myself?
[12:38] Miracle
    Right? You're super strong!
[12:40] Chris
    I've made it this far by myself many times.
[12:44] Chris
    But I could never beat the enemy up ahead.
[12:47] marumaru
    So it's that strong.
[12:49] marumaru
    Which means...
[12:51] Chris
    It's the last boss that
    protects the treasure!
[12:56] Miracle
    The treasure's inside there?
[12:58] Chris
    Yes.
[12:59] marumaru
    Which means this is...
[13:01] Chris
    Where the last boss spawns.
[13:08] marumaru
    What's this sound?
[13:09] Miracle
    Could it be a huge Vanity?
[13:16] Chris
    That's the last boss of this stage.
[13:19] Chris
    The Dragon Vanity.
[13:20] Miracle
    The Dragon Vanity?
[13:21] Miracle
    Is it a dragon? Or a bunny?
[13:30] Chris
    This time... I won't lose!
[13:34] Miracle
    What is that?
[13:39] marumaru/Miracle
    She got it!
[13:46] Miracle
    Chris!
[13:54] Miracle
    Get away from Chris!
[14:00] marumaru
    Miracle, you meanie!
[14:06] Miracle
    Oops!
[14:09] Miracle
    Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
[14:11] Chris
    Miracle...
[14:12] Miracle
    Chris!
[14:13] Chris
    Run away...
[14:21] Miracle
    Take this!
[14:27] Chris
    Wh-What's that?
[14:29] Miracle
    Fortune takoyaki!
[14:30] Miracle
    Now come on, Chris!
[14:31] Chris
    Miracle...
[14:37] Miracle
    Th-That was close...
[14:40] Miracle
    How can we beat that thing?
[14:43] Miracle
    I-It's fine, Chris!
[14:45] Miracle
    Even if you can't win alone,
    we can win together!
[14:49] Miracle
    I think...
[14:49] Chris
    Miracle, do you remember what I said before?
[14:53] Miracle
    What was it?
[14:55] (Flashback) Chris
    No, I'm interested in you, Miracle.
[15:00] Chris
    So I wondered why I was
    so interested in you.
[15:04] Miracle
    Oh, you said there wasn't a
    specific reason last time, right?
[15:08] Chris
    I thought about myself a whole lot,
[15:10] Chris
    and each time I did, you were
    what came into my mind.
[15:15] Chris
    What do you mean to me?
[15:19] Chris
    Why am I drawn to you?
[15:22] Miracle
    Chris?
[15:24] Chris
    I think I found that reason
    here, in this world.
[15:28] Chris
    Miracle, with you...
[15:34] Miracle
    Watch out!
[15:36] Chris
    This way!
[15:48] Chris
    Miracle...
[15:50] Miracle
    It's not over yet, okay?
[15:52] Miracle
    Take this!
[16:00] Miracle
    I got it!
[16:05] Miracle
    Chris!
[16:09] Chris
    You beat it, huh?
[16:10] Miracle
    Why would you do something so crazy?
[16:13] Chris
    Just like I thought... the reason
    I was so interested in you...
[16:19] Chris
    Is because you looked
    like you were shining...
[16:22] Chris
    And it felt like with you, I could shine.
[16:27] Chris
    I want to shine with you, Miracle...
[16:30] Miracle
    Chris...
[16:31] Chris
    Even if I can't overcome something
    on my own, with you, Miracle...
[16:38] Miracle
    Then don't die on me!
[16:40] Miracle
    You still haven't found who you really are!
[16:43] Chris
    Miracle...
[16:46] Chris
    Thank you.
[16:49] Miracle
    Chris!
[16:53] Chris
    What?
[16:54] Miracle
    Oh, right.
[16:56] Miracle
    It was a game.
[16:57] Noelle
    What are you crying about?
[17:03] Miracle
    What's wrong, marumaru?
[17:04] marumaru
    I can't believe you threw me at the enemy...
[17:06] Miracle
    Sorry, it wasn't deliberate.
[17:10] Noelle
    So? What about the treasure?
[17:11] Miracle
    Huh?
[17:12] Miracle
    That's right. How'd we end up here
    after beating the last boss?
[17:15] marumaru
    Looks like you hit the time limit.
[17:19] Miracle
    After all that work?
[17:21] Chris
    I found a wonderful treasure.
[17:28] [SONG] Song
    Searchlight, the brightest shining star
[17:32] [SONG] Song
    that lights up the reason I was born
[17:45] [SONG] Song
    A world that spins at
    the same speed as always
[17:51] [SONG] Song
    Not even knowing what my favorite color is
[17:59] [SONG] Song
    I answer yes/no
[18:02] [SONG] Song
    A song that's just what
    everyone else wants to hear
[18:05] [SONG] Song
    is going around in circles in my head
[18:11] [SONG] Song
    I found you singing in a monochrome world
[18:18] [SONG] Song
    I want to jump into the other world
[18:27] [SONG] Song
    Searchlight, the pulsing rhythm
[18:31] [SONG] Song
    that lights up the reason I was born
[18:34] [SONG] Song
    Shooting star
[18:35] [SONG] Song
    What is this feeling? I can
    hear a sound in my heart
[18:41] [SONG] Song
    Searchlight, the single ray of light
[18:45] [SONG] Song
    that leads to the reason I was born
[18:48] [SONG] Song
    My heartbeat's started and it won't stop
[18:52] [SONG] Song
    cause you're out there, and I can find you
[18:58] Miracle
    Wow, Chris!
[18:59] Miracle
    When did you come up with
    those wonderful lyrics?
[19:02] Chris
    Since I came back from Grid Treasure Hunt.
[19:05] Miracle
    So you made them in just three days?
[19:08] Miracle
    Wow!
[19:09] Noelle
    Those lyrics are filled with
    the emotions inside you now...
[19:11] Noelle
    I could feel the originality in them.
[19:14] Chris
    Those lyrics are the treasure you gave me.
[19:19] Chris
    I couldn't find out who
    I was on this journey.
[19:23] Chris
    But I was able to create those
    lyrics because I was with you.
[19:28] Chris
    I feel like with you,
    I can find... the real me.
[19:34] Chris
    Who I really am.
[19:36] Miracle
    Chris...
[19:38] Chris
    So thanks for being my friend, Miracle.
[19:42] Miracle
    Me, too! I want us to be even better friends!
[19:45] Miracle
    Thanks for being my friend, too!
[19:47] Noelle
    Hey, aren't you forgetting about me?
[19:51] Miracle
    You too, Noelle.
[19:52] Noelle
    Of course!
[19:54] Noelle
    Okay, let's keep it up so we can
    all be in the Virtual Grid Awards!
[19:59] Noelle/Chris
    Okay!
[20:01] Noelle
    But you're the one with the
    lowest ranking of any of us.
[20:05] Noelle
    And you said you're making original lyrics,
    but you haven't finished them yet!
[20:10] Miracle
    Wh-What do I do?
[20:12] Chris
    I know you can do it, Miracle!
[20:14] Chris
    I think...
[20:14] Miracle
    I'm the one who has to try the hardest!
[20:20] Auris
    Are preparations going well?
[20:22] Vanity
    Yes. Everything is proceeding as planned.
[20:25] Auris
    Excellent.
[20:27] Vanity
    Goodbye.
[20:29] Auris
    I can't wait to see what gets made.
[20:49] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[21:00] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[21:05] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[21:10] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[21:15] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[21:21] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[21:26] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[21:31] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[21:36] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[21:39] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[21:44] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[21:50] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[21:54] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other

    I am waiting for... forever

[00:04] Chris
    I'm Chris, and I went on
    a journey to find myself.
[00:08] Chris
    Miracle discovered who she really was.
    I thought that maybe I could, too.
[00:15] Chris
    So I dove into a video game world.
[00:19] Chris
    And I found something...
[00:22] Chris
    The feeling that when I am with Miracle,
    I can overcome anything.
[00:30] Chris
    Miracle's so mysterious... What is it
    about her that makes me feel this way?
[00:34] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[00:45] [SONG] Song
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[00:50] [SONG] Song
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[00:55] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:00] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:06] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:10] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[01:19] [SONG] Song
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[01:21] [SONG] Song
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
[01:26] [SONG] Song
    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[01:31] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[01:37] [SONG] Song
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:42] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[01:46] [SONG] Song
    Our shared wish binds us together

[04:22] marumaru
    Yeah.
[04:31] Miracle
    It kind of freaks me out how far
    ahead of me they're getting.
[04:36] marumaru
    But going from #540 to #168
    is a big jump, right?
[04:43] Miracle
    It's thanks to everybody else.
[04:45] marumaru
    So... I think it's okay for
    you to go at your own pace.
[04:51] marumaru
    What?
[04:53] Miracle
    You don't seem bothered by anything.
[04:55] Miracle
    I'm jealous of you, marumaru.
[04:57] Miracle
    Nothing gets to you.
[05:00] Miracle
    I can't think of anything except the
    Virtual Grid Awards these days.
[05:04] marumaru
    I mean, I'm not entering.
[05:06] Miracle
    You're not?
[05:07] marumaru
    Yeah.
[05:09] Miracle
    You're not entering the Virtual Grid Awards?
[05:11] marumaru
    Yeah.
[05:18] Noelle
    marumaru's not entering
    the Virtual Grid Awards?
[05:21] Miracle
    That's right.
[05:22] Miracle
    I thought we were all entering together.
[05:26] Noelle
    But you've got something else you should
    be focusing on right now, right?
[05:33] Noelle
    They just explained it to us yesterday.
[05:36] Chris
    Ultimate.
[05:38] Miracle
    Oh, right!
[05:40] Miracle
    That event where you can participate in a
    game that the kids in the other curriculum made.
[05:44] Chris
    The XR Technology Class.
[05:47] Noelle
    From the sound of it, you haven't
    heard about the special prize, then?
[05:51] Miracle
    What?
[05:53] Noelle
    If you get first place, you can
    perform on a special stage!
[05:58] Miracle
    So if I get first place, I can have
    everyone watch my performance?
[06:02] Noelle
    Every student at ADEN will be watching.
[06:06] Miracle
    Then I want to get first place!
[06:08] Miracle
    And I will!
[06:12] Miracle
    So you race on these fogelboards?
[06:15] Miracle
    I'd prefer a design that
    didn't look so bland.
[06:18] Chris
    They all work the same.
[06:20] Chris
    It doesn't matter how they look.
[06:22] Miracle
    True, but...
[06:24] Miracle
    I want to race at top speed on
    my awesome-looking fogelboard!
[06:27] Miracle
    It'd make things more exciting.
[06:29] Chris
    I see.
[06:31] Noelle
    Go for it.
[06:32] Noelle
    They didn't say you couldn't
    customize the things.
[06:36] Miracle
    Right?
[06:37] Miracle
    I wonder what should I do with it!
[06:41] Miracle
    But how do you actually design something?
[06:46] Miracle
    Is there anybody I could ask?
[07:03] Miracle
    Hey, there.
[07:09] Miracle
    Homework?
[07:11] Q
    Yeah.
[07:12] Q
    For ADII.
[07:15] Miracle
    ADII?
[07:17] Miracle
    The class for second-year digital artists?
[07:22] Miracle
    Are you my senpai, then?
[07:29] Miracle
    You're studying to be a designer, then?
[07:34] Miracle
    I know!
[07:36] Q
    What is it?
[07:37] Miracle
    Well... I'm in the virtual artist class,
    and I'm entering a racing event.
[07:43] Q
    Oh, the one the XR Technologies
    class is making.
[07:47] Miracle
    Yes.
[07:48] Miracle
    And I'd like to design my own
    original fogelboard for it.
[07:54] Q
    I see.
[07:55] Miracle
    And I just found out right now that
    you're studying to be a designer!
[08:00] Miracle
    Senpai, could you help me with the design?
[08:06] Q
    You're asking me?
[08:08] Miracle
    I know it's a tough ask!
[08:11] Miracle
    But I've never designed anything before...
[08:14] Miracle
    Could you help?
[08:19] Miracle
    Um...
[08:22] Q
    Okay.
[08:23] Miracle
    Really? Really?
[08:25] Miracle
    You'd go along with my crazy request?
[08:28] Q
    Yes.
[08:28] Miracle
    Thank you!
[08:30] Q
    By the way, is there something
    you want to draw?
[08:36] Miracle
    Something exciting!
[08:40] Miracle
    It's bad if it's that vague, right?
[08:43] Q
    It's fine. What's important
    is having that first idea.
[08:46] Miracle
    Hooray!
[08:48] Q
    Start by drawing a single line, any line.
[08:51] Miracle
    Okay!
[08:53] Q
    As you draw more and more, the idea
    in your head will become clearer.
[08:57] Q
    You'll start to understand
    what you want to draw.
[09:02] Miracle
    I can't think of anything!
[09:12] Q
    Why not take a break?
[09:13] Miracle
    Thank you! I'll have some!
[09:18] Miracle
    Yum! They smell like tea!
[09:21] Q
    I put some tea leaf pieces in the batter.
[09:23] Miracle
    You made these yourself? Wow!
[09:26] Q
    Yes.
[09:26] Q
    If you like them, you can have mine.
[09:28] Miracle
    Okay, I'll take you up on that!
[09:41] Q
    Huh? I just...
[09:43] Miracle
    Your homework? Go ahead and do it.
[09:47] Q
    No, more importantly...
[09:50] Miracle
    Yes?
[09:52] Q
    Why did you decide to do your own design?
[09:56] Q
    You can enter Ultimate without one.
[10:03] Miracle
    My ranking's hasn't been going up at all lately.
[10:07] Miracle
    But my friends' rankings are way up.
[10:10] Miracle
    It feels like they're leaving me behind...
[10:15] Miracle
    But if I can get first place in this race,
[10:18] Miracle
    I get to perform on a special stage.
[10:21] Miracle
    And I bet if I did that,
     my ranking would go way up!
[10:24] Q
    What's that got to do with
    designing your own board?
[10:28] Miracle
    If I'm going to be using something,
[10:31] Miracle
    I want to use something that
    will make me feel excited.
[10:34] Miracle
    Something that feels like
    it really belongs to me!
[10:38] Miracle
    That's how it is for me, anyway.
[10:41] Q
    Are looks that important?
[10:46] Q
    Um... once I got stuck on a design,
    and started thinking about stuff...
[10:53] Miracle
    Yeah?
[10:54] Q
    At first, you can copy somebody else,
[10:57] Q
    but if you want to go beyond that...
[11:00] Q
    Maybe you need to face yourself and
     figure out what you really want to create.
[11:08] Miracle
    That's kind of deep!
[11:13] Miracle
    Look at the time!
[11:14] Miracle
    I'm so sorry for keeping you here this late!
[11:16] Miracle
    I can't thank you enough.
[11:18] Q
    Don't worry about it.
[11:20] Miracle
    Thank you for the advice!
[11:24] Miracle
    Oh...
[11:26] Miracle
    The tea was delicious!
[11:35] marumaru
    Just now, I wanted to write something...
[11:39] marumaru
    Why?
[11:42] marumaru
    Because I taught something to
    someone else? Did that inspire me?
[11:46] marumaru
    No. I thought I'd stopped
    getting involved with anyone.
[11:53] (Flashback) Art Teacher

[12:03] (Flashback) Art Teacher 2

[12:19] (Flashback) Art Teacher 2
    Prettier than the pictures from before.
[12:24] marumaru
    It's always been that way.
[12:26] marumaru
    Nobody looks at the real me...
[12:31] marumaru
    I'm okay on my own.
[12:33] marumaru
    Alone, with nobody bothering me.
[12:36] marumaru
    At least, I thought I was...
[12:41] Miracle
    marumaru!
[12:45] Miracle
    You're always so round, marumaru!
[12:50] marumaru
    Is that the first thing
    you have to say to me?
[12:52] marumaru
    When did Miracle and her friends coming
    here become part of my daily routine?
[12:58] marumaru
    At first, I thought they
    were annoying, but...
[13:01] Miracle
    Hey, can I ask a question?
[13:03] marumaru
    You're going to ask even if I say no, right?
[13:06] Miracle
    You said you're not entering the
    Virtual Grid Awards, right?
[13:10] marumaru
    Yeah.
[13:12] Miracle
    Why is that?
[13:14] marumaru
    I was originally in the design class,
[13:16] marumaru
    but started going to the artist
    class halfway through the year.
[13:19] Miracle
    You go to both?
[13:21] marumaru
    Everybody around me insisted
    to me that I should.
[13:26] Miracle
    I see...
[13:28] marumaru
    I didn't feel like I could
    tell them all no...
[13:31] marumaru
    And when I tried it, it was really hard...
[13:35] marumaru
    It's hard to go out in
    front of people, isn't it?
[13:40] marumaru
    I've never really liked being looked at.
[13:43] Miracle
    And that's why you didn't enter
    the Virtual Grid Awards?
[13:46] marumaru
    Yup.
[13:48] Miracle
    I see.
[13:50] marumaru
    It's not good, is it?
[13:52] marumaru
    I know I always lecture you...
[13:55] marumaru
    But I'm actually really lame.
[13:59] Miracle
    That's not true!
[14:01] Miracle
    You're always complaining to me,
    but you let me be here!
[14:06] Miracle
    And you give me really good advice, too!
[14:08] Miracle
    You're the total opposite of
    boring! You're un-boring!
[14:12] marumaru
    Un-boring? Is that a compliment?
[14:15] Miracle
    It is! And I'm grateful to you!
[14:18] Miracle
    Because you've helped me out with so much!
[14:21] marumaru
    I have not.
[14:23] Miracle
    You're so stubborn!
[14:25] marumaru
    Oww! Oww!
[14:27] Miracle
    Do you admit that you're un-boring?
[14:32] marumaru
    For Miracle...
[14:34] marumaru
    For Miracle, who accepts me
    even when I look like this...
[14:35] Miracle
    Oh, your roundness! That's one of the
    things that makes you un-boring!
[14:38] marumaru
    I want to... do everything I can.
[14:40] Miracle
    Are you listening, marumaru?
[14:43] marumaru
    Hey, that thing you've been drawing...
[14:48] Miracle
    Oh, this? It's the design for the
    fogelboard I'm using at Ultimate.
[14:54] marumaru
    Looks like you're not making
    much progress, though.
[14:57] Miracle
    That's right!
[14:59] Miracle
    Someone I know taught me the basics
    of design, but it's hard...
[15:04] marumaru
    You won't have it done in
    time for Ultimate like this.
[15:08] Miracle
    You think so?
[15:10] marumaru
    I don't want you running
    around screaming about
[15:12] marumaru
    how you're running out of
    time, so I'll help you.
[15:16] marumaru
    Well, unless you don't want me to.
[15:17] Miracle
    No! You just surprised me!
[15:20] Miracle
    Lend me your design power!
[15:23] marumaru
    You'll be the one to do the thinking.
[15:26] marumaru
    I'll just take those ideas and
     put them into a design.
[15:28] marumaru
    Got it?
[15:29] Miracle
    Got it!
[15:43] Miracle
    It's done!
[15:45] Miracle
    Now it's all up to you, marumaru.
[15:48] Miracle
    Bye!
[15:52] marumaru
    Now, time to get to work...
[16:06] Miracle
    It's done already?
[16:08] marumaru
    Yup.
[16:10] Miracle
    You didn't just do the design, you even
    printed it out on the fogelboard?
[16:15] marumaru
    I thought it would be easier
    for you to see the end product.
[16:17] Miracle
    A fogelboard we designed together!
[16:23] Miracle
    It's so wonderful!
[16:26] Miracle
    Thank you, marumaru!
[16:28] marumaru
    You're the one who designed it.
[16:33] Miracle
    I can't believe my terrible drawings
    turned out so wonderfully...
[16:38] Miracle
    This coloring is so cute!
[16:40] marumaru
    I took inspiration from you.
[16:42] Miracle
    Oh!
[16:44] Miracle
    It's got so many wonderful colors!
[16:47] marumaru
    You always say that Chris and
    Noelle help you out, right?
[16:52] Miracle
    Yup!
[16:52] marumaru
    So I gave it a design that would make
    you feel like everyone was with you.
[16:57] Miracle
    marumaru! Thank you so, so much!
[17:01] marumaru
    I'm the one who should be thanking you.
[17:05] Miracle
    Nothing.
[17:06] Miracle
    This is all I can do. The rest is up to you.
[17:10] Miracle
    Yup!
[17:10] Miracle
    With your feelings next to me,
     I'll get 1st place...
[17:16] Miracle
    Help me, marumaru!
[17:18] Miracle
    How do I control this!
[17:20] marumaru
    It feels like Miracle sees the real me.
[17:26] marumaru
    I'm glad I could help her.
[17:31] marumaru
    Maybe I've found what I want to do...
[17:50] Riz
    Okay, that'll do for now.
[17:53] Riz
    Ultimate, was it?
[17:55] Riz
    Well, I'll just count myself lucky

    This sounds complicated!
[22:25] Noelle
    I'll make it easy to
    understand. Don't worry.
SIGN    Definitions of Design
SIGN    Planning Something
SIGN    A Drawing
SIGN    Product Design
[22:27] Noelle
    The first is how to plan something.
[22:30] Noelle
    For instance, you say you're going to
    make plans for a new building, right?
[22:37] Miracle
    Yeah.
[22:38] Noelle
    The second definition is a drawing.
[22:40] Noelle
    This is what you use when you're laying
    out a pattern or how something looks.

[22:44] Miracle
    That's what marumaru made for my fogelboard!
[22:48] Noelle
    Yup.
[22:49] Miracle
    And the third?
[22:51] Noelle
    The last one is product design.
[22:54] Noelle
    This is most often used when you're
    designing something for consumers.
[22:57] Noelle
    Like something you're selling.
[22:58] Miracle
    And?
[23:00] Noelle
    Take that fogelboard for something.
[23:02] Noelle
    If it's just the drawings,
    it's the second meaning.
[23:08] Noelle
    It's the third if it's
    something you're selling.
[23:12] Noelle
    Even the simple word "design" has all these
    different meanings and ways to use it!
[23:16] Miracle
    I didn't know that!
[23:19] Noelle
    So, did you enjoy Noelle's
    Easy Design Class?
[23:24] Miracle
    Huh?
[23:25] Noelle
    Thank you for watching!
[23:28] Miracle
    She took over my class!
[23:32] Noelle
    See you next time!

[23:41] Noelle
    A manual for riding a fogelboard.
[23:43] Chris
    Miracle was spacing out.
[23:45] Noelle
    Yes. She totally was. That's why
    she definitely needs a manual!

[00:04] Miracle
    Hey, it's me, Miracle!
[00:07] Miracle
    I'm really nervous right now,
[00:10] Miracle
    because Ultimate is about to start.
[00:14] Miracle
    Ultimate is a racing game created by the
    students of ADEN's XR Technology Course.
[00:21] Miracle
    It's streamed to ADEN Academies
    all over the world,
[00:25] Miracle
    and students can participate by connecting
    to the server closest to their own school.
[00:31] Miracle
    You ride a fogelboard, overcoming
    obstacles to reach the goal.
[00:37] Miracle
    And I heard that if you get first place,
    you can do a special performance!
[00:43] Miracle
    A lot of people will be watching,
[00:46] Miracle
    so this is my chance to raise my
    ranking a whole bunch, right?
[00:49] Miracle
    That's why I'm going to get first place and
    do a performance where I give it my all.
[00:54] Miracle
    Cheer me on, everybody.
[00:57] Miracle
    Okay...
[01:01] Miracle

[01:30] [SONG] Song

[01:36] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:40] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in

[02:41] Chris
    Beautiful.
[02:42] Miracle
    Right?
[02:44] Miracle
    marumaru and I designed it.
[02:46] Miracle
    I feel like it gives me
    extra power when I ride it!
[02:49] marumaru
    I'm glad you're excited for this,
    but did you learn to ride a fogelboard?
[02:54] Chris
    I've got the accelerator, turbo, special turbo,
     and hyper jet turbo all down pat!
[02:59] Noelle
    Do you know... where the brakes are?
[03:02] Miracle
    I have to get to the goal quickly.
    I don't have time for brakes...
[03:05] Noelle
    You'd better!
[03:08] marumaru
    Look, tap this button with your
    foot and it'll flip the brake.
[03:12] Miracle
    Tap it with my foot?
[03:14] Miracle
    Got it.
[03:15] Miracle
    If I end up needing it...
[03:17] marumaru
    Please use it!
[03:19] Miracle
    Brakes slow you down, right?
    Isn't it better not to use them?
[03:19] Game Narrator
    Welcome to Ultimate! Everybody, have fun!
[03:24] marumaru
    No, if you hit a curve at full throttle,
    you might fall off the course.
[03:25] Game Narrator
    Get ready!
[03:28] Game Narrator
    Three, two, one!
[03:29] marumaru
    You need to control your
    speed and use the brakes...
[03:31] Game Narrator
    Go for it!
[03:41] Noelle
    It's started!
[03:42] Chris
    The race's begun!
[03:43] marumaru
    Oh, no!
[03:45] marumaru
    Hit the accelerator!
[03:46] Miracle
    I am! But...
[03:48] Miracle
    It's not moving!
[03:49] marumaru
    Your right foot! It's still on the brake!
[03:52] Miracle
    Oh, right!
[04:09] Chris
    We got knocked off the
    course at the obstacle.
[04:12] Chris
    This is game over.
[04:13] Noelle
    Just like that? No way!
[04:18] marumaru
    I see.
[04:19] marumaru
    That's the real course...
[04:21] marumaru
    The arrow was telling you to go up!
[04:25] Miracle
    E-Everyone...
[04:29] Riz
    Don't worry.
[04:32] Riz
    They're all at the portal area.
[04:38] XRT Student 1
    Too bad for you!
[04:41] XRT Student 1
    Now that it's game over for you,
[04:44] XRT Student 1
    you'll have to cheer on the
    other racers from this room.
[04:47] XRT Student 2
    Of course, you'll have to
    play a punishment game, too.
[04:51] Noelle
    A punishment game?
[04:59] Noelle
    What is this?!
[05:02] Miracle
    I see.
[05:04] Riz
    So, see you later.
[05:07] Riz
    Shouldn't you be going faster?
[05:08] Riz
    You're in last place.
[05:15] Riz
    Not that it's my problem, I guess.
[05:22] Miracle
    marumaru, Noelle, Chris...
[05:27] Miracle
    I won't let your deaths be in vain!
[05:29] Noelle
    We're not dead.
[05:31] Chris
    Go! Go!
[05:42] Miracle
    What's this?
[05:59] Miracle
    Wait!
[06:05] Miracle
    Maybe...
[06:11] Miracle
    That's it!
[06:12] Miracle
    I need to pass over the
    shining spots on the floor!
[06:18] Chris
    A score?
[06:19] XRT Student 2
    You noticed?
[06:20] XRT Student 1
    Yes, this is a rhythm game course.
[06:23] XRT Student 1
    Ride on top of all the right notes
    and get a high score, and...
[06:32] XRT Student 1
    a speed boost!
[06:35] XRT Student 1
    Well? Pretty exciting, right?
[06:45] Miracle
    What is this? I'm going so slow!
[06:47] XRT Student 1
    Make a mistake and your speed goes down.
    Too many and it's game over!
[06:52] marumaru
    This might be tough for her.
[06:54] Chris
    Yeah.
[06:56] Noelle
    But Miracle knows the importance
    of connecting to the music.
[07:01] Noelle
    So I'm sure...
[07:04] Miracle
    I need to get into a rhythm and
    not make any more mistakes!
[07:10] Miracle
    Oh, no! I'm ahead of the beat!
[07:18] Miracle
    Maybe...
[07:19] Miracle
    Next!
[07:20] Miracle
    And the one after that!
[07:23] Miracle
    If you go slightly ahead or behind
    the beat depending on the melody,
[07:26] Miracle
    instead of trying to do it all at
    the same speed, it feels great!
[07:36] Miracle
    Okay!
[07:37] Miracle
    Time to connect more with
    the song, the music...
[07:39] Miracle
    ...and the rhythm!
[07:50] XRT Student 1
    She made the secret notes appear.
[07:53] marumaru/Noelle
    Yes!
[07:54] Miracle
    Go!
[07:57] Miracle
    Turbo!
[08:02] Girls
    No way!
[08:03] Girls
    How'd she get a score that high?
[08:14] Riz
    Vanity, display her channel.
[08:17] Vanity
    Understood.
[08:24] Vanity

    The one who defeats the lucky
    avatar will win the race!
    Tell this to everyone.
[08:34] Miracle
    Someone I know in the XR Technology

[08:40] Miracle
    Huh?! This is amazing!
[08:44] Miracle
    I need to tell everybody!

[08:48] Riz
    It's from Miracle!
[08:50] Riz
    "Plz Spread"?
[08:52] Riz
    A lucky avatar is hidden
    somewhere in Ultimate?
[08:57] marumaru
    If you defeat it, you'll get a high
    score and a big speed boost!
[09:00] marumaru
    The one who defeats the lucky
    avatar will win the race!
[09:04] marumaru
    Tell this to everyone...?
[09:08] Girls
    That's awesome.
[09:09] Girls
    Hey, don't you think it's her?
[09:15] Girls
    It has to be her.
[09:17] Girls
    She went straight for the main course
    like she knew about that first obstacle.
[09:21] Girls
    And even though she was in last place,
[09:23] Girls
    she somehow got a high score that
    boosted her place by a lot.
[09:26] Miracle
    Now everybody knows about the lucky avatar!
[09:29] Miracle
    The race is sure to be more fun.
[09:34] Miracle
    Wh-Wh-What?
[09:36] Girls
    You're the lucky avatar, right?
[09:39] Miracle
    N-No.
[09:40] Girls
    You can't fool us.
[09:45] Chris
    They all think Miracle is the lucky avatar.
[09:49] XRT Student 1
    We didn't put anything
    like that in the program!
[09:53] XRT Student 2
    It's no good! I can't fix it because they
    keep changing the passcodes to lock me out!
[10:00] XRT Student 2
    Somebody probably spread
    the rumor deliberately.
[10:04] Riz
    It's fake news, huh?
[10:17] Miracle
    What do I do? What do I do?
[10:23] Riz
    This way.
[10:24] Miracle
    U-Um...
[10:26] Miracle
    Breaking News
[10:27] marumaru
    There's a message!
[10:29] Noelle
    More fake news?
[10:31] Chris
    No, this is...
[10:33] Chris
    A message saying that the account
    that spread the information
[10:36] Chris
    about the lucky avatar has
    already been abandoned.
[10:41] XRT Student 2
    I've got access to Ultimate again!
[10:44] XRT Student 1
    Tell the contestants!
[10:47] Girls
    That's strange...
[10:49] Girls
    Where did she go?
[10:51] Girls
    She should be around here...
[10:52] Girls
    Let's go a little further.
[10:54] Girls
    Yeah.
[10:54] Girls
    I wish she wouldn't make this hard.
[10:56] Girls
    I'll find her.
[10:57] Riz
    I'm Riz.
[10:59] Riz
    You're Miracle, right?
[11:00] Miracle
    Y-Yeah.
[11:01] Riz
    That information about the lucky avatar
    made a mess of everything, huh?
[11:05] Riz
    But it's okay now.
[11:08] XRT Student 1
    Everyone!
[11:10] XRT Student 1
    That information about the
    lucky avatar was fake news!
[11:14] XRT Student 1
    Don't be deceived! Focus on the race!
[11:18] Miracle
    Fake news?
[11:19] Riz
    Yup.
[11:21] Miracle
    Are you the one who told everyone?
[11:24] Riz
    I think everyone watching from the
    portal area figured out it was fake news, too.
[11:30] Miracle
    Then...
[11:31] Miracle
    I'm the only one who believed it?
[11:33] Riz
    You and those girls.
[11:38] Miracle
    S-Sorry... for spreading fake news.
[11:42] Riz
    It's the fault of whoever made it up.
[11:46] Riz
    And... your desire to do something
    for everyone is good.
[11:50] Riz
    But I think you should've checked
    before you spread it to everyone.
[11:57] Miracle
    You're right.
[11:59] Riz
    When you get a new piece of news,
    the first thing you need to do is fact check it.
[12:03] Miracle
    Fact check?
[12:07] Riz
    Get information from a variety of angles
    to find the source of the news.
[12:13] Riz
    A source you can trust, that is.
[12:15] Riz
    But fact checking is hard and it's not a
    100% surefire way to fight against fake news.
[12:21] Riz
    So if you're suspicious or don't think
    you can trust the news you hear...
[12:27] Riz
    Don't spread it.
[12:29] Miracle
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:31] Riz
    Once something's out on the internet,
    you can never get rid of it.
[12:35] Riz
    You know that, right!
[12:38] Miracle
    I do...
[12:41] Riz
    Well, this particular bit of fake news was a
    nasty one that took advantage of your kindness.
[12:47] Riz
    Like they were trying something out...
[12:50] Riz
    Okay, that's enough talking and
    reflecting on what you did wrong.
[12:54] Riz
    Let's get back to racing.
[12:56] Miracle
    Okay!
[13:02] Miracle
    Riz, it says it's the final course!
[13:07] Riz
    Yeah.
[13:08] Miracle
    Two courses? Which is the right one?
[13:13] Girls
    You can't win by just standing there!
[13:25] Girls
    The left side's the right way.
[13:27] Girls
    I'll be the one to get first place!
[13:36] Miracle
    We can't take the left
    path or the right one?
[13:40] Miracle
    What's going on?
[13:42] Riz
    ATST...?
[13:43] Miracle
    ATST? What's that?
[13:46] Riz
    It was on that sign we passed.
[13:49] Riz
    It's short for "At the Same Time."
[13:53] Riz
    Does that mean that as you're racing,
[13:55] Riz
    you need to be doing something
    else at the same time?
[13:58] Riz
    Like maybe hit the brake and accelerator at
    the same time, like you did at the start?
[14:03] Riz
    Or...
[14:04] Miracle
    I've got it!
[14:06] Miracle
    It means you and I have to do
    the course at the same time!
[14:11] Riz
    I see!
[14:13] Miracle
    You take the right course.
[14:15] Miracle
    I'll take the left one.
[14:17] Riz
    If you want to go forward,
    you don't do it alone...
[14:21] Riz
    You do it at the same time...
[14:22] Miracle
    as somebody else...
[14:23] Miracle/Riz
    And run both courses together!
[14:33] Noelle
    They'll be knocked out!
[14:51] Miracle
    It's beautiful!
[14:53] Riz
    Miracle, in front of you!
[14:58] Miracle
    Where's the goal?
[15:01] Riz
    The future is always hidden
    in the darkness...
[15:05] Riz
    You don't know what will happen...
[15:07] Riz
    but if you jump in without being afraid...
[15:10] Riz
    perhaps your fear will turn into joy!
[15:17] Miracle
    I-I'm scared! But...
[15:20] Miracle
    marumaru's here. Noelle and
    Chris are watching, too...
[15:25] Miracle
    I'm going to get first place and have
    everyone watch my performance...
[15:30] Miracle
    raise my ranking...
[15:31] Miracle
    get to the Virtual Grid Awards...
[15:34] Miracle
    and win the Lapin d'Or!
[15:58] Riz
    Miracle!
[16:00] Miracle
    Th-That was so scary!
[16:07] Riz
    If you were scared, why did you follow me?
[16:09] Miracle
    Because...
[16:11] Miracle
    You were my source, Riz!
[16:13] Miracle
    You're the one who told me to find
    a source I could trust, right?
[16:18] Miracle
    That's why.
[16:20] Riz
    You trusted me and jumped in?
[16:23] Miracle
    Yup!
[16:28] Miracle
    Your source was me! Me?
[16:36] Miracle
    Is that strange?
[16:38] Riz
    It's strange.
[16:39] Riz
    You're a strange girl, Miracle.
[16:43] Miracle
    Does that mean...
[16:45] Riz
    There's the goal button.
[16:46] Riz
    So first place is mine, okay?
[16:56] Miracle
    No fair!
[16:59] Riz
    You should've stayed sharp until the end!

[18:45] Miracle
    I'm so jealous! I wanted to get first place!
[18:48] Miracle
    But if I got 1st place, I guess I couldn't
    have seen your performance...
[18:54] Riz
    "You were my source, Riz!"
[18:56] Miracle
    Are you still laughing about that?
[18:58] Riz
    I could laugh about it forever!
[18:59] Riz
    I even wrote it down!
[19:01] Miracle
    You wrote it down?!
[19:02] Riz
    I got first place, so they gave
    me the data on the race.
[19:05] Miracle
    You get the data as a bonus?

    Hello, it's Chris!
[21:11] Noelle
    Good day. It's me, Noelle.
[21:14] Chris
    Noelle looked really bored,
    so we're streaming together.
[21:18] Noelle
    What do you mean I looked bored?
[21:23] Chris
    I think that came out wrong.
[21:25] Chris
    Let me try that again.
[21:27] Chris
    Miracle got a new friend this week,
    and Noelle seemed a little lonely...
[21:34] Noelle
    No! That's not true at all!
[21:39] Noelle
    Wh-What?
[21:41] Chris
    I see tear streaks.
[21:42] Noelle
    You're kidding!
[21:44] Chris
    I'm kidding.
[21:44] Noelle
    You were kidding?
[21:46] Noelle
    Limited Shiritori
[21:47] Chris
    Limited Shiritori!
[21:49] Noelle
    Where did that come from?
[21:51] Chris
    Limited Shiritori is a type of shiritori
    where you can only say words
[21:55] Chris
    that have to do with a certain theme.
[21:58] Chris
    Noelle and I are going to play it now.
[22:02] Noelle
    Huh? We are!
[22:04] Chris
    We are.
[22:06] Noelle
    But...
[22:07] Chris
    The theme is "Words that
    would make Miracle excited."
[22:11] Chris
    This is a type of Limited Shiritori that only
     two people who know Miracle well can play.
[22:17] Noelle
    Hmm... that's right.
[22:20] Noelle
    Someone who'd only just become friends
     with her today wouldn't be able to play it.
[22:26] Noelle
    Let's do it! Let's play Limited Shiritori!
[22:29] Chris
    It's cute how easy Noelle is to manipulate.
[22:31] Noelle
    Did you say something?
[22:32] Chris
    No.
[22:34] Chris
    A Limited Shiritori AI app
     I developed will be the judge.
[22:40] Noelle
    What?
[22:41] Noelle
    When did you have time to make that?
[22:44] Chris
    That's a secret.
[22:45] Noelle
    Sometimes I don't get you, Chris.
[22:50] Chris
    Limited Shiritori! The theme is
    "Words that would make Miracle excited!"
[22:54] Noelle
    Okay, let's do this!
[22:56] Noelle

[23:10] Noelle

[23:11] Noelle

    would make Miracle excited...
[23:14] Noelle

[23:15] Noelle

[23:15] Noelle
    Iiyay!
[23:20] Chris
    "Iiyay"?
[23:23] Noelle
    Sorry, give me a sec.
[23:24] Noelle
    My head went blank.
[23:26] Noelle
    "Iiyay?" "Iiyay"?
[23:28] Noelle
    My first word was an onomatopoeia...
[23:29] Noelle
    I sound kind of stupid.
[23:31] Chris
    "Yay" isn't an onomatopoeia.
[23:34] Chris
    It's called an "interjection."
[23:36] Noelle
    Don't make it worse, Chris!

    Ultimate, the racing game made by the
    students in the XR Technology Course.
[00:09] Miracle
    They say if you get first place,
     you get to give a special performance!
[00:14] Miracle
    marumaru helped design an amazing
     fogelboard for me, and it was off to the races!
[00:19] Miracle
    But of course, things didn't go like I hoped.
[00:23] Miracle
    But a really cool girl helped me.
[00:26] (Flashback) Miracle
    Um...
[00:27] (Flashback) Riz
    I'm Riz.
[00:29] Miracle
    And just when I thought
    I'd reached the goal...
[00:32] (Flashback) Riz
    So first place is mine, okay?
[00:35] Miracle
    I was planning on getting first place
    and having my rank go way up!
[00:41] Miracle
    I'm in big trouble!
[00:44] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[00:55] [SONG] Song
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[01:00] [SONG] Song
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[01:05] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:10] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:16] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:20] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[01:29] [SONG] Song
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[01:31] [SONG] Song
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
[01:36] [SONG] Song
    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[01:41] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[01:47] [SONG] Song
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:52] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[01:56] [SONG] Song
    Our shared wish binds us together
    as we ride this tailwind
[02:02] [SONG] Song
    How far can we go? With
    our hands linked tightly

[02:37] Miracle
    Of course.
[02:40] Miracle

[02:43] Riz
    Not at all.
[02:44] Riz
    I do keep an eye on it at
    all times, though, as data.
[02:48] Miracle
    Y-You do, huh?
[02:51] Miracle
    Noelle's in 7th!
[02:52] Miracle
    She is amazing!
[02:54] Miracle
    You're 11th.
[02:57] Miracle
    You're both definitely getting through to the qualifiers.
[03:00] Riz
    Yeah.
[03:01] Miracle
    Oh, and there's Chris.
[03:03] Miracle
    21st...
[03:05] Miracle
    Her rank's gone way up.
[03:06] Miracle
    She's almost made it to the qualifiers.
[03:09] Miracle
    And I'm in 111th place...
[03:12] Miracle
    I'm not even in the top 100,
    let alone the top 15!
[03:18] Miracle
    And I haven't written my original lyrics!
[03:22] Miracle
    What do I do? I'm screwed!
[03:25] Miracle
    Okay, I'll ask everybody for help.
[03:28] Riz
    By everybody, you mean your friends?
[03:30] Miracle
    Yeah, they've helped me
    out a lot up till now.
[03:34] Riz
    You mean you've been relying on
    other people this whole time?
[03:37] Riz
    You should know better than that.
[03:40] Riz
    Start by thinking for yourself.
[03:43] Riz
    Who's going to find anything compelling
    about a person who relies on others
[03:46] Riz
    and has nothing for themselves?
[03:53] Noelle
    You're late, Miracle.
[03:56] Miracle
    Oh, sorry...
[03:58] Miracle
    Riz, I'll introduce you.
[04:00] Riz
    I know them!
[04:01] Riz
    Noelle and Chris, right?

[04:06] Noelle

[04:09] Noelle
    You hit the high notes in the chorus
     better than anybody else.
[04:14] Riz
    Thanks!
[04:15] Riz
    Yours was amazing, too.
[04:17] Riz
    It's so great to see you dance, since
    you never make the slightest mistake!
[04:22] Riz
    And Chris, your ant videos
     were fascinating, too.
[04:25] Riz
    You have a eye for noticing
    things that I never would.
[04:28] Chris
    I'm thinking up stuff for my next
    video of ant facts you cAN'T believe.
[04:32] Noelle
    That series is still going on, huh?

    I'm looking forward to it!

[08:02] Chris

[08:04] Chris
    Miracle's always worried,
    panicked, and confused...
[08:09] Chris
    But she's always put in a lot
    of effort, one thing at a time.
[08:12] Noelle
    I can never figure out if she's got guts,
     or she's just empty-headed.
[08:16] marumaru
    She definitely works hard, though.
[08:21] Riz
    I told Miracle to try and think for herself.
[08:26] Riz
    She said she was asking you guys for help.
[08:29] Noelle
    That's why she's avoiding us.
[08:34] Noelle
    Well, let's see what she does.
[08:36] Noelle
    What you said wasn't wrong.
[08:39] Noelle
    And she was the one who decided to try
    and figure things out for herself.
[08:43] Noelle
    She'll probably get down,
    but I'm sure she'll get over it.
[08:53] Miracle
    Maybe I should ask them for help.

    Yeah, I can't believe it.

    Right? Me neither!

    What are they talking about?
[09:10] Riz
    Don't you dare try to imitate it.
[09:13] Noelle
    Of course I wouldn't.

    Imitate it?

    Are they talking about me?

    I could never do something
    as disgusting as that!

    I refuse!
[09:22] Noelle
    Y-Yeah, I guess I agree.

    No! If I quit, I'll have nothing left!

    Your GPS said you were in your room,
    so it was hard to find you.
[13:19] Vanity
    What happened to your VANITIM?
[13:24] Quan
    Want another cup?
[13:29] Quan
    Then you're quitting?
[13:35] Miracle
    I'm just tired of it all.
[13:37] Miracle
    Maybe if my ranking never goes up...
[13:41] Miracle
    Maybe then I'll be free from this pain...
[13:46] Miracle
    I find myself thinking that.
[13:49] Quan
    This is the one thing you
    try to decide for yourself?
[13:56] Noelle
    Are you being a spoiled brat again?
[13:58] Miracle
    Noelle...
[14:00] Noelle
    Can you throw away everything
    you've built so far?
[14:06] Miracle
    Chris...
[14:07] Chris
    Miracle, will this make you feel better?
[14:12] Chris
    "I'm Thinking About Ants in the Digital Forest!"
[14:16] Chris
    Hello, this is Chris.
[14:18] Chris
    Today, I'm making a video to cheer
    someone up, so I've left the studio.
[14:23] Chris
    Wow, that's ant-mazing!
[14:25] Chris
    I cAN'T believe you'd do that!
[14:28] Miracle
    Chris...
[14:30] Riz
    She sure is mysterious...
[14:32] Riz
    We can watch the rest of that later.
[14:34] Riz
    For now, I think this is more important.
[14:36] [SONG] Song
    Let's let it resonate loud and far
[14:39] [SONG] Song
    Even if we're far apart
[14:42] [SONG] Song
    I want to believe in the
    future projected in your eyes
[14:49] [SONG] Song
    I won't be afraid anymore; I'll
    transcend the reason I was born
[14:55] [SONG] Song
    I'll reach out toward tomorrow
    and change the world
[15:04] [SONG] Song
    Let's search for our destinies and link
[15:05] Miracle
    AI-chan...
[15:11] AI
    It's okay. We're connected.
[15:11] [SONG] Song
    I connect with you
[15:15] Miracle
    AI-chan.
[15:17] AI
    Come on, take a look around you.
[15:21] Noelle
    See. We're connected.
[15:24] Miracle
    I was thinking I wanted to quit
    being a virtual artist...
[15:30] Miracle
    I was worried that maybe we wouldn't be able
[15:33] Miracle
    to all go to the Virtual Grid Awards
     together like I said...
[15:41] Miracle
    And I wanted to run away.
[15:45] Miracle
    So I left the virtual world...
[15:48] Miracle
    I left everyone...
[15:50] Miracle
    But it's all still here...
[15:54] Miracle
    I want to keep doing this!
     I want to stay connected with everyone!
[15:59] Noelle
    Then stay with us.
[16:02] Riz
    Miracle, being dependent on your friends
    and just following behind them
[16:06] Riz
    is totally different than walking
    into the future alongside them.
[16:09] Miracle
    Alongside them...
[16:12] Chris
    I want to walk into the future with you.
[16:16] Miracle
    But I'm like this.
[16:18] Chris
    And that's okay with me.
[16:20] Noelle
    That's right. Be who you are.
[16:23] Noelle
    You don't need to overthink things.
[16:25] Miracle
    Be myself...
[16:29] Miracle
    Guys! I get it!
[16:32] Miracle
    I'm done thinking about complicated stuff!
[16:35] Miracle
    I'm done worrying!
[16:36] Miracle
    I'll just be who I am!
[16:40] Riz
    Using your head a little wouldn't hurt you.
[16:44] Miracle
    For now, I'm hungry so I'll eat!
[16:49] Riz
    Oh, that's right. Miracle, you don't eat
    rice with your okonomiyaki, do you?
[16:54] Miracle
    Huh?
[16:55] Noelle
    Riz says she could never hang out with
    somebody who ate rice with their okonomiyaki.
[17:01] Miracle
    Is that...
[17:03] (Flashback) Riz
    I could never do something
    as disgusting as that!
[17:06] (Flashback) Riz
    I refuse!
[17:08] (Flashback) Noelle
    Y-Yeah, I guess I agree.
[17:10] (Flashback) Noelle
    Me, too.
[17:12] Miracle
    That's what you meant?
[17:15] Miracle
    I got fooled!
[17:17] Noelle
    Don't talk with your mouth full!
[17:20] Miracle
    But...
[17:22] Riz
    That's our Miracle.
[17:23] Chris
    Yup.
[17:26] Miracle
    You want some, too?
[17:28] Noelle
    Hey! You got sauce on me!
[17:38] Vanity
    Miracle, you've got lots of emails
    to answer and homework to do.
[17:41] Vanity
    Where will you begin?
[17:44] Miracle
    Thanks, Vanity.
[17:46] Miracle
    But first there's something I want to do.
[17:50] Computer
    Ready?
[17:57] Riz
    So that video...
[18:00] Miracle
    Will you all listen to my song?
[18:04] All
    Yeah.
[18:07] Miracle
    I was able to connect with everyone
    because I was a virtual artist.
[18:12] Miracle
    But I got worried again and panicked,
    and wanted to quit...
[18:18] Miracle
    But... I'm still not good.
    I'm still like this...
[18:24] Miracle
    But there's words that only
    I can sing! I know it!
[18:27] Miracle
    And here, in this infinite virtual world,
    I'm going to express them the best that I can!
[18:34] Miracle
    So that everyone who's by
    my side, who supports me,
[18:37] Miracle
    who walks into the future
    with me, can hear them!
[18:40] [SONG] Song

[18:44] [SONG] Song
    Come on, it's time to go
[18:46] [SONG] Song
    I'll start running MY WAY
[18:57] [SONG] Song
    The song I listened to
    all day when I was little
[19:04] [SONG] Song
    If I just sing it as hard as
    I can, I'll stumble but...
[19:11] [SONG] Song
    Now I've logged in to a new world
[19:14] [SONG] Song
    Here, you can make everything into holography
[19:18] [SONG] Song
    except your passionate feelings
[19:23] [SONG] Song
    There's another me who
    whispers that I'm scared
[19:30] [SONG] Song
    Just for now, I’ll shut it
    out and dive onto the stage!
[19:40] [SONG] Song
    I can be who I want to be
[19:43] [SONG] Song
    With a strong, strong wish
[19:47] [SONG] Song
    No matter what future awaits me
[19:50] [SONG] Song
    I can take a step forward
    if everyone's with me
[19:53] [SONG] Song
    Let's go to find the stage
[19:57] [SONG] Song
    where I can change my boring self
[20:00] [SONG] Song
    Look, it's the starting line
[20:03] [SONG] Song
    From here on out, it's all up to me
[20:06] [SONG] Song
    I'll take flight into infiniti∞
[20:12] Chris
    I heard the song that only you can sing.
[20:15] Riz
    You did it all by yourself.
[20:18] Miracle
    Thanks! But it's thanks to all of you.
[20:22] Miracle
    I was able to come back here
    because everyone was here for me.
[20:25] Noelle
    Miracle.
[20:30] Miracle
    Are you angry again? It's been so long!
[20:33] Noelle
    Welcome back!
[20:36] Miracle
    I can't breathe!
[20:42] Miracle
    I'm back!
[20:46] marumaru
    I can't stay like this forever, either.
[21:04] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[21:15] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[21:20] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[21:25] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[21:30] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[21:36] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[21:41] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[21:46] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[21:51] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[21:54] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[21:59] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[22:05] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[22:09] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other

    I am waiting for... forever

    Her other friends were going
    way up in the rankings,
[00:07] marumaru
    but Miracle wasn't,
    and it was getting to her.
[00:11] (Flashback) Miracle
    Maybe if my ranking never goes up...
[00:15] (Flashback) Miracle
    Maybe then I'll be free from this pain...
[00:19] marumaru
    She was ready to give up on
    being a virtual artist, but...
[00:22] (Flashback) Noelle
    Can you throw away everything
    you've built so far?
[00:26] marumaru
    With some encouragement from her friends,
    she decided to sing once more!
[00:31] marumaru
    And she finally completed her original lyrics
[00:35] marumaru
    and got back on track to entering
    the Virtual Grid Awards.

[02:11] Miracle
    I can't breathe!
[02:17] Miracle
    marumaru, I'm sorry for worrying you.
[02:20] marumaru
    I wasn't worried...
[02:23] Noelle
    You looked more bored than
    any of us without her here.
[02:26] Riz
    Well, you looked pretty sad, Noelle.
[02:29] Noelle
    Th-That's not true!
[02:31] Chris
    Noelle, your face is bright red.
[02:32] Noelle
    Come on, Miracle!
[02:34] Noelle
    You need to practice and
    make up for lost time!
[02:36] Noelle
    I'll help you.
[02:48] Miracle
    I'm so tired!
[02:49] Miracle
    Time for a little rest.
[02:52] Miracle
    I think Noelle's stricter
    than she was before.
[02:55] marumaru
    Probably because you can do more
    now than you could before.
[02:58] Miracle
    You think?
[03:00] marumaru
    Yeah. You look happier
    out there than before.
[03:03] Miracle
    Well, that's thanks to all of you.
[03:07] marumaru
    I'm jealous.
[03:10] marumaru
    No, nothing.
[03:12] Miracle
    But you just said...
[03:13] Noelle
    Miracle! Break's over!
[03:15] marumaru
    Hear that? She's calling you.
[03:21] Miracle
    Yeah...
[03:29] Miracle
    I wonder if marumaru wants to try it, too.
[03:32] Miracle
    But they said they don't
    like being looked at...
[03:35] Miracle
    But they just said...
[03:38] Vanity
    Miracle-san, it's almost bedtime.
[03:42] Miracle
    I know, but...
[03:46] Miracle
    I wonder if there's a good way
    to get an answer out of marumaru...
[03:50] Vanity
    Tut-tut!
[03:51] Vanity
    If you want restful sleep,
[03:53] Vanity
    it is recommended to turn off all electronic
    devices 30 minutes before bedtime!
[03:56] Miracle
    This is it!
[04:00] Noelle
    The Shower of Sound Festival?
[04:02] Miracle
    Yup! Its theme is "make a
    rainbow with a shower of song."
[04:07] Miracle
    And if you enter, you can
    perform at the festival.
[04:11] Miracle
    Want to do it?
[04:14] Chris
    You participate as a unit.
[04:15] Chris
    You can pick your avatar and
    everything else you want.
[04:18] Chris
    Participants get a special
    event NFT as a present.
[04:22] Chris
    And the winning unit gets an awesome prize.
[04:26] Riz
    I've never done a concert
    as a unit, so I'm curious.
[04:30] Riz
    I could get some new data, I bet.
[04:33] Noelle
    I need to think about it.
[04:36] Miracle
    Let me know what you decide, okay?
[04:39] Miracle
    What about you, marumaru?
[04:40] Riz
    Miracle, are you serious?
[04:42] Miracle
    I sure am.
[04:44] Miracle
    I figured it would be fun
    if we all did it together.
[04:47] Miracle
    How about it?
[04:50] marumaru
    Um...
[04:54] marumaru
    I want to try it.
[04:57] Miracle
    Yay!
[04:58] Riz
    I didn't think marumaru would want to do it.
[05:01] Chris
    It would make me happy if you were with us.
[05:04] Riz
    Let's decide on our song and
    the choreography, then!
[05:08] Riz
    There's no time to waste!
[05:09] Miracle
    marumaru, let's do our best!
[05:11] marumaru
    Yeah.
[05:18] Noelle
    Miracle.
[05:20] Noelle
    Your hands go like this, right?
[05:21] Noelle
    You had it wrong last time, too.
[05:23] Miracle
    Oh, you're right.
[05:24] Miracle
    Thanks.
[05:25] Noelle
    And marumaru, you're off the beat a bit.
[05:28] marumaru
    Okay, I'll be careful.
[05:30] Riz
    Come join us, Noelle.
[05:32] Noelle
    B-But...
[05:34] Riz
    Just admit you want to do it.
[05:38] Noelle
    F-Fine!
[05:40] Noelle
    I'll do it! For you guys!
[05:43] Miracle
    Noelle!
[05:45] Noelle
    But there'll be no half-assing
    things now that I'm here, okay?
[05:49] Chris
    That awesome prize is ours.
[05:54] Miracle
    There are so many videos for
    the Shower of Sound Festival.
[05:58] Noelle
    Everybody's taking it really seriously.
[06:02] Miracle
    I see a dance practice video, too.
[06:04] Noelle
    I see. Some people are getting fans
    before the festival even starts.
[06:09] Miracle
    Do you get fans by doing that?
[06:11] Noelle
    Well, if you appear in an event,
    you can talk about your unit,
[06:15] Noelle
    and if you win, people will
    talk about you online!
[06:18] Miracle
    Hey, let's upload a video, too!
[06:21] Noelle
    Good idea!
[06:22] Miracle
    I need to call everyone right now!
[06:25] Noelle
    Hello, it's me, Noelle!
[06:27] Miracle
    Hi, I'm Miracle.
[06:29] Chris
    And I'm Chris.
[06:30] Noelle
    We're all doing a collab video
    today on all of our channels!
[06:37] Miracle
    I'm having so much fun that
    I'm not nervous at all!
[06:40] Noelle
    You should be a little nervous.
[06:42] Chris
    I have an announcement.
[06:44] Noelle
    That's extraordinarily sudden.
[06:46] Chris
    Well, it's important to
    keep up the momentum.
[06:48] Chris
    Right, Miracle?
[06:50] Miracle
    Yes!
[06:50] Miracle
    We're appearing in the
    Shower of Sound Festival!
SIGN    We're appearing in the
    Shower of Sound Festival!
[06:58] Noelle
    We'll be appearing as a unit with two
    other members, so there's five of us total!
[07:04] Miracle
    We'll be uploading our dance practice,
[07:07] Miracle
    so watch to find out who the other two are!
[07:10] Miracle
    Now I'm nervous!
[07:13] Chris
    Things go better if you're
    just a little nervous.
[07:16] Miracle
    I see!
[07:18] Miracle
    Let's be nervous, then!
[07:20] Noelle
    I'm not sure if that's
    quite right, Miracle...
[07:24] Chris
    But we hope you'll come see us!
[07:27] Miracle
    We'll be waiting!
[07:28] Chris
    We'll also up a video of
    Noelle being angry at Miracle.
[07:32] Miracle
    Noelle's scary when she gets angry.
[07:35] Noelle
    Miracle!
[07:37] Miracle
    Why does she only get angry at me?
[07:39] Miracle
    Chris is the one who told everyone!
[07:41] Chris
    We hope we can count on your support.
[07:43] Chris
    Goodbye!
[07:45] All
    Goodbye!
[07:48] Noelle
    Hey! Miracle! Wait!
[07:55] Riz
    They said watching Noelle
    and Miracle was funny.
[07:57] Riz
    It's a good advertisement.
[08:00] Miracle
    Great!
[08:02] Noelle
    How is it a good advertisement?
[08:05] Miracle
    Why only me?
[08:07] Riz
    Come on! Let's take that video!
[08:09] All
    Okay!
[08:15] Ada
    Where can I find a clue?
[08:20] Ada
    I know ADEN has something to do with it...
[08:24] Ada
    I can't just sit back and let this happen.
[08:29] Ada
    Can I?
[08:35] Miracle
    Huh?
[08:36] Miracle
    What's wrong, everyone?
SIGN    One of them's a stuffed animal
    
    
    Cute but it's like a preschool play
    
    
    What's with the mascot,
    it doesn't fit in
    
    
    It'd be better without the animal
[08:39] Noelle
    This...
[08:41] Miracle
    They don't fit in?
[08:44] marumaru
    Sorry.
[08:46] Miracle
    No, it's not something for
    you to apologize over...
[08:48] marumaru
    I've got homework, so I'm skipping practice.
[08:51] Miracle
    marumaru!
[08:53] Miracle
    What do we do?
[09:02] Quan
    I ran away again...
[09:06] Quan
    What am I supposed to do?
[09:10] Quan
    What would she do?
[09:21] Miracle
    Is marumaru okay?
[09:25] Miracle
    I'm so worried, it's made me hungry!
[09:29] Miracle
    This smell...
[09:31] Miracle
    Takoyaki!
[09:32] Quan
    It's a weird way to do it,
    but if it works...
[09:35] Miracle
    I smell the sauce from this way...
[09:38] Kids
    Wh-What kind of game are they playing?
[09:50] Miracle
    I was so hungry, I ate one without asking!
[10:00] Miracle
    I stole your food without asking!
[10:03] Miracle
    I'm sorry!
[10:05] Quan
    I didn't think it would actually work...
[10:08] Miracle
    I'm sorry, when I get hungry, my mind goes
    blank and I can't control myself...
[10:13] Quan
    You must have been really hungry.
[10:15] Miracle
    I just finished dance practice.
[10:18] Quan
    You're working hard, huh?
[10:20] Miracle
    Yes. I'm going to be in an event.
[10:22] Miracle
    Me and four of my friends are
     performing as a unit for the first time.
[10:26] Miracle
    There's a lot of stuff to be done, but...
[10:29] Miracle
    I'm looking forward to it.
[10:31] Quan
    I see.
[10:33] Quan
    Um...
[10:34] Quan
    There's something I want to ask you.
[10:36] Miracle
    Ask me?
[10:38] Quan
    Yeah, it's about a friend.
[10:42] Quan
    They have something they want to do,
[10:45] Quan
    but they're not sure how
    to go about it, I guess.
[10:49] Quan
    What do you think they should do?
[10:52] Miracle
    Huh?
[10:53] Quan
    O-Oh no, that just came out of nowhere!
[10:56] Quan
    But I'll just have to keep asking...
[10:59] Miracle
    I don't know.
[11:01] Miracle
    Oh, but... I say everything
    I'm thinking aloud.
[11:06] Miracle
    It feels like I'm working
    through things with myself.
[11:11] Miracle
    It kind of helps me figure
    out what I want to be.
[11:15] Quan
    I see.
[11:17] Quan
    Maybe I'll try that.
[11:19] Quan
    I-I mean, my friend will!
[11:21] Miracle
    Go for it!
[11:27] Quan
    Thank you.
[11:34] Quan
    Everything I'm thinking...
[11:40] Quan
    It's all negative stuff.
[11:44] Quan
    Is it okay for me to sing
    with everyone like this?
[11:52] Noelle
    Yes, like that.
[11:54] marumaru
    Everyone, um...
[11:57] Miracle
    It's okay!
[12:00] Miracle
    Those comments! You can ignore them!
[12:03] Miracle
    You're working hard, marumaru!
[12:05] Miracle
    You don't need to get down!
[12:07] marumaru
    But...
[12:08] Noelle
    Miracle, why even bring it up?
[12:11] Miracle
    I wanted to make sure I said it...
[12:14] Riz
    You know, we're fine with
    having you stay like that.
[12:21] Noelle
    Yes.
[12:22] Noelle
    It's not a problem.
[12:24] Chris
    Yeah, not at all.
[12:27] marumaru
    But it's causing problems for all of you...
[12:29] Noelle
    No, it's not.
[12:32] Riz
    We picked these avatars
    because we liked them.
[12:35] Chris
    We get to decide.
[12:37] Miracle
    marumaru, here you can be
    anything, and do anything.
[12:42] Miracle
    So...
[12:44] Miracle
    You can stay as you are, marumaru!
[12:48] Miracle
    Or are you not having fun?
[12:50] marumaru
    Well...
[12:52] Miracle
    If you're having fun,
    that's all that matters.
[12:57] marumaru
    I am having fun!
[12:58] Miracle
    Then it's settled!
[13:00] Noelle
    Let's get back to practicing, everyone!
[13:03] Chris
    Practice! Practice!
[13:05] Riz
    marumaru, I changed up our formation.
[13:08] Riz
    So we'll be practicing even harder today.
[13:12] Miracle
    Riz says she's not gonna let anybody
    say you don't fit in anymore.
[13:17] marumaru
    I'll... do my best!
[13:26] Noelle

[15:35] Quan
    I need to write down these
    feelings so I remember them...
[15:44] Quan
    Is that from Miracle?
[15:46] Miracle
    Photos from today have been upped already!
[15:49] Quan
    Already? That's fast.
SIGN    That was great! I had so much fun watching it. I want to see more. Miracle's the girl who was upping all those weird videos. Is she being weird again?
[15:59] Quan
    This...
SIGN    It's obvious they wanted to use the cute mascot to raise their ranking They thought the mascot would help them stand out.

[16:02] Quan
    Why would you say that?
[16:05] Quan
    You don't know anything!
[16:07] (Flashback) Miracle
    You can stay as you are, marumaru!
[16:17] Miracle
    marumaru!
[16:26] marumaru
    I want to stand beside everyone,
    as the "me" I chose to be!
[16:43] Miracle
    I was really surprised when I got that
    message from marumaru yesterday.
[16:47] Miracle
    They don't usually send stuff like that.
[16:48] marumaru
    What do they want to talk about, I wonder?
[16:50] marumaru
    Everybody, thanks for coming.
[16:54] Miracle
    What is it?
[16:56] marumaru
    There's something I want you to see.

[17:19] marumaru
    Thanks, everyone.
[17:22] marumaru
    For saying that I could stay as I am.
[17:25] marumaru

    able to move forward once more.
[17:30] marumaru
    No matter what I look like,
    you'll still be there for me.
[17:35] marumaru

    I can change, I'm not alone anymore
[19:36] [SONG] Song
    I'll go forward one step
    at a time and be myself

    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[20:44] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[20:50] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[20:55] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[21:00] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[21:05] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying

    little corner of the world

    Hello. It's me, Noelle!
[21:41] Miracle
    Hey, there! It's Miracle!
[21:43] Chris
    And Chris!
[21:44] Noelle
    We're doing another collab video!
[21:46] Chris
    Today we're talking about the
    time Noelle got angry at Miracle!
[21:50] Miracle
    You can't talk about that! Everyone will know
     how scary Noelle gets when she's angry!
[21:53] Chris
    You already told everyone in our last video.
[21:59] Noelle
    Miracle.
[22:00] Miracle
    H-Huh?
[22:06] Noelle
    Hold it!
[22:08] Noelle
    Now I'm angry!
[22:10] Miracle
    You're always angry!
[22:12] Noelle
    Get ready!
[22:16] Chris
    I'll explain what just happened.
[22:17] Chris
    Miracle just tripped and
    fell flat on her face,
[22:21] Chris
    and then was hit by Noelle's special
    finger flick move, and is now writhing in pain.
[22:24] Noelle
    Chris, I did not "finger flick" her.
[22:27] Noelle
    Right, Miracle?
[22:29] Miracle
    Of course not...
[22:31] Noelle
    There are other fun things
    to talk about, right?
[22:34] Chris
    Like the time Miracle fell asleep while
    dancing and started drooling everywhere?
[22:38] Miracle
    Don't tell them about that!
[22:40] Miracle
    There's gotta be other stuff, right?
[22:42] Miracle
    You know, there are lots of
    stories about you, Chris!
[22:44] Noelle
    That's right! You have...
[22:47] Noelle
    ...not a lot.
[22:49] Miracle
    That can't be right...
[22:51] Miracle
    It's right.
[22:52] Chris
    Sorry.
[22:53] Noelle
    That's right. Chris learned to dance
    and sing faster than any of us.
[22:59] Noelle
    She's perfect.
[23:00] Noelle
    How do you learn so fast?
[23:03] Noelle
    Is there some trick?
[23:07] Chris
    It all kinda comes flooding into your head like
     "Bwah!" and then you dance like "Bwah!"
[23:15] Noelle
    Did you understand any of that?
[23:17] Miracle
    No.
[23:19] Noelle
    Chris, you really are mysterious.
[23:22] Miracle
    Well, that's part of what makes her special.
[23:25] Noelle
    Thank you.

[00:04] Noelle
    We entered the Shower of Sound Festival,
[00:09] Noelle
    but when we uploaded our practice video,
[00:12] Noelle
    people said all kinds of terrible
    things about marumaru.
[00:15] (Flashback) Miracle
    You can stay as you are, marumaru!
[00:19] Noelle
    We felt the same as she did,
    so the five of us all entered.
[00:23] Noelle
    It felt great!
[00:26] Noelle
    But then, they started to bash Miracle.
[00:30] Noelle
    marumaru saw it and said...

    Quan...

[00:35] Noelle

    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[00:50] [SONG] Song
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[00:55] [SONG] Song
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[01:00] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:05] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:11] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it

    I believe in my friends, and in

    Let's go over this again, then.
[02:37] Noelle
    If you want to make it through the qualifiers,

    Riz is in 8th, and Chris is in 15th!
[02:47] Miracle

    I'm... 43rd.
[02:57] Miracle
    I'm still not there.

    But what kind of stream should we do?
[03:31] Miracle
    I know!
[03:33] Sign
    MiraQuan Super-Meeting
[03:33] Miracle
    It's the MiraQuan...
[03:34] Quan
    Super-Meeting!
[03:36] Miracle
    Let's all discuss how Quan
    and I can get in the top 15!
[03:41] Miracle
    Noelle!
[03:42] Noelle
    Work really hard!
[03:44] Miracle
    Tell me what to work hard at... Riz-san!
[03:47] Riz
    At coming up with a way to win!
[03:50] Miracle
    That's what I'm asking!
[03:52] Noelle
    We can't just come up with something!
[03:53] Miracle
    Thanks for your support!
[03:57] Miracle
    Well?
[03:59] Chris
    We all lost 1 rank apiece.
[04:01] Miracle
    Why?!
[04:03] Noelle
    You're not thinking at all...
[04:06] Quan
    Hey...
[04:07] Quan
    Can we do another concert?
[04:10] Quan
    With the five of us!
[04:13] Noelle
    That's right. Last time,
    you went as marumaru...
[04:17] Chris
    But if we do a collab concert with Quan,
    who everyone's talking about,
[04:20] Chris
    we'll definitely go viral.
[04:22] Miracle
    Great! Let's do it.
[04:24] Noelle
    Wait.
[04:26] Noelle
    I thought it was a good idea too, but...
[04:29] Girl
    Everyone, the four of us will
    be doing a collab concert
[04:33] Girl
    to get into the Virtual Grid Awards today!
[04:37] Riz
    Since Shower of Sound, a lot of people
    at ADEN have been forming units.
[04:42] Noelle
    Yeah, you can team up with students
    from anywhere in the world.
[04:47] Chris
    Some groups have already gone viral.
[04:49] Miracle
    Then we should do our own stream, too!
[04:52] Riz
    No, I think if we did it now,
    not many people would care.
[04:56] Miracle
    Why?
[04:58] Riz
    With this stuff if you don't get it right the
     first time, you won't leave any impression.
[05:03] Noelle
    We'd need to do an amazing concert,
    like one nobody's ever done...
[05:09] Miracle
    Then let's do an amazing concert!
[05:12] Miracle
    We've still got a week!
[05:14] Miracle
    Let's do something big
    that'll shock everyone!
[05:19] Chris
    Any ideas?
[05:21] Miracle
    Well, I'll think about that starting now!
[05:25] Noelle
    You're always like this...
[05:27] Miracle
    But...
[05:33] Auris
    Hello there, Lapin d'Or Ada.
[05:36] Auris
    What's the woman in charge
    of the VGAs doing here?
[05:42] Ada
    Principal Auris,
[05:44] Ada
    it seems all the students
    at ADEN are working hard.
[05:48] Auris
    Yes, thank you.
[05:49] Ada
    But can you explain what's
    happening right now?
[05:53] Auris
    What are you referring to?
[05:55] Ada
    Lately it's been popular for students to
    join up with others and do collab concerts.
[06:02] Auris
    Is that a problem?
[06:05] Ada
    There's nothing wrong with collabs,
    but they're all looking the same.
[06:11] Ada
    If you want to call yourself an artist,
[06:13] Ada
    shouldn't you try to have your own
    originality that nobody else can copy?
[06:21] Ada
    If connecting with someone else kills what
    makes you unique, then it means nothing.
[06:27] Auris
    So you're telling me to ban
     collab concerts for the students?
[06:32] Ada
    I'll let you decide.
[06:35] Auris
    I understand your point of view.
[06:38] Ada
    Then...
[06:39] Auris
    Sometimes connecting with someone else
[06:42] Auris
    can let you create something you
    could never have made on your own.
[06:46] Auris
    I want to maximize that possibility.
[06:50] Auris
    Why don't you give them a little more time?
[06:56] Ada
    If you insist.
[07:07] Chris
    Where's Miracle?
[07:08] Noelle
    She said she was going to
[07:10] Noelle
    "Do something big that'll shock everyone!"
[07:13] Noelle
    But then she never came up with an idea...
[07:19] Quan
    Um...
[07:20] Miracle
    Hey!
[07:22] Miracle
    I got a good idea just before I left.
[07:25] Noelle
    What was it?
[07:29] Miracle
    Well...
[07:31] Miracle
    "PathTLive"!
[07:33] Noelle
    What's that?
[07:36] Miracle
    The name of our unit!
[07:39] Chris
    What does it mean?
[07:41] Miracle
    Um... "Path" is the path we follow.
    "Live" is the lives we live.
[07:45] Miracle
    It means the five of us were apart, then
    came together to all follow the same path!
[07:50] Noelle
    It's a wonderful name.
[07:52] Miracle
    Right?
[07:52] Noelle
    But right now you need to be
    thinking of concert ideas...
[07:58] Miracle
    Hey, Quan.
[08:00] Miracle
    Let's make PathTLive a success!
[08:05] Quan
    Yeah.
[08:08] Chris
    What is it?
[08:10] Riz
    We might be better off not
    doing a collab concert.
[08:13] Miracle
    Why?
[08:15] Students
    What's this about?
[08:17] Students
    Why did this happen?
[08:19] Riz
    The rankings for everybody who did
    a collab concert all dropped.
[08:25] Riz
    The system was changed so that
    collabs aren't rewarded.
[08:29] Miracle
    Changed? Why?
[08:32] Riz
    I don't know. But...
[08:34] Riz
    It's a fact that your ranking
    basically stops going up.
[08:37] Miracle
    No... What do we do then?
[08:46] Quan
    But... why?
[08:48] Vanity
    Principal Auris, there's been an error
    with the ADEN Seed judging system.
[08:55] Vanity
    We're fixing it now.
[08:57] Auris
    No need.
[09:00] Auris
    Let's see what happens.
[09:09] Sign
    The Next Day
[09:10] Riz
    Ever since then, everybody's stopped doing
    collab concerts and just done their own thing.
[09:15] Riz
    What about us?
[09:17] Miracle
    I think the five of us should...
[09:18] Noelle
    We should all do our own thing.
[09:21] Miracle
    Noelle!
[09:23] Noelle
    Do you not want to be in
    the Virtual Grid Awards?
[09:26] Miracle
    I do! That's why the five of us...
[09:29] Noelle
    Your rank won't go up if
    you do a collab concert!
[09:33] Miracle
    We don't know that until we try!
[09:36] Miracle
    It feels to me that together, we can
    all make something nobody's ever seen.
[09:42] Quan
    Miracle...
[09:43] Miracle
    So Noelle... let's do it together!
[09:47] Noelle
    Get your head out of the clouds!
[09:50] Noelle
    Accept reality!
[09:54] Miracle
    Noelle...
[09:56] Riz
    I understand how you feel.
[09:58] Miracle
    Then...
[09:59] Riz
    But my calculations show that
    we've got a better chance
[10:03] Riz
    of making it in the top 15
    if we all do our own thing.
[10:06] Miracle
    But...
[10:07] Chris
    Miracle...
[10:11] Miracle
    Fine.
[10:14] Miracle
    It'd be stupid if we ended up
     not even qualifying.
[10:18] Miracle
    We can all just do our own thing now.
[10:21] Quan
    Miracle!
[10:26] Miracle
    I'll see you all next...
    at the main event stage.
[10:44] Students
    Today's the day they're announcing the
    top 15 who made it through the qualifiers!
[10:48] Students
    How many will be coming from
    our school, ADEN Theta?
[10:52] Students
    Just a few hours left...
[10:54] Students
    Everybody's upping their last videos!
[10:57] Chris
    I cleared it.
SIGN    Wow! A new record!
SIGN    But she's so calm.
SIGN    Chris's game livestreams are the best!
[11:03] (Flashback) Chris
    Even if I can't overcome something
    on my own, with you, Miracle...
[11:11] Chris
    Is this really what I should be doing?
[11:20] (Flashback) Noelle
    Miracle, I'm going to try writing lyrics.
[11:23] (Flashback) Miracle
    Great!
[11:25] Noelle
    It's thanks to her that
    I was able to change...
[11:31] Noelle
    Thanks to her...
[11:35] Noelle
    But...
[11:36] Noelle
    Is this really what I should be doing?
[11:41] (Flashback) Riz
    Let's be friends, Miracle.
[11:43] (Flashback) Riz
    I'm really interested in you!
[11:47] Riz
    Something had started to change
    in me after meeting Miracle.
[11:52] Riz
    But now, she's not here...
[11:59] (Flashback) marumaru
    I'm actually really lame.
[12:03] (Flashback) Miracle
    That's not true!
[12:05] (Flashback) Miracle
    Because you've helped me out with so much!
[12:09] Quan
    That's what I should be saying.
[12:13] Quan
    Now it's my turn.
[12:16] Quan
    What I can do now is...
[12:23] Vanity
    Miracle-san, time's almost up.
[12:26] Vanity
    Don't you want to do one last concert?
[12:30] Miracle
    This is my last chance.
[12:32] Miracle
    I need to do an amazing stream
    that will get me in the top 15!
[12:38] Miracle
    No... I don't know what to do!
[12:40] Miracle
    I don't know what to do...
    what to rely on...
[12:47] Miracle
    Tell me...
[12:48] Miracle
    What path should I follow?
[13:00] Miracle
    The path I should follow is...
[13:14] [SONG] Song
    ...won't be afraid anymore;
    I'll transcend the reason I was born
[13:15] Miracle
    Hey, AI-chan. I've worked so hard
[13:18] Miracle
    because I wanted to stand on the stage of
    the Virtual Grid Awards, like you did.
[13:19] [SONG] Song
    I'll reach out toward tomorrow
    and change the world
[13:23] Miracle
    I still have that dream.
[13:26] Miracle
    But... I have a new dream, too.
[13:30] Miracle
    It's to follow the same path as my friends.
[13:34] Miracle
    AI-chan...
[13:35] Miracle
    You said you wanted to connect
    with more people, right?
[13:41] Miracle
    I understand that, AI-chan.
[13:42] Miracle
    I want to connect with the
    people who watch me...
[13:46] Miracle
    And with my wonderful friends!
[13:48] Miracle
    So before it's all over...
[13:50] Quan
    Let's do a concert together.
[13:55] Chris
    I feel the same.
[13:57] Miracle
    Chris!
[13:58] Chris
    I want to connect with you more!
[14:02] Miracle
    Thank you!
[14:05] Quan
    Let's start, then.
[14:06] Miracle
    What are you doing?
[14:08] Quan
    You were the one who said it...
[14:09] Quan
    Do something big that'll shock everyone!
[14:32] Chris
    It's beautiful...
[14:37] Miracle
    Wow! That's incredible!
[14:39] Noelle
    Miracle!
[14:41] Noelle
    I know you said something big, but...
[14:43] Riz
    This is a bit too big, isn't it?
[14:46] Miracle
    Thanks for coming, everyone...
[14:50] Miracle
    Please do a collab concert with me.
[14:54] Noelle
    Are you sure? You might not
    make it in the top 15.
[14:58] Miracle
    But I still want to sing with the five of us.
[15:01] Miracle
    Living in this moment with the four of you...
    I think that's the path I should follow!
[15:10] Noelle
    Oh, fine.
[15:11] Riz
    I'll bet on you, then.
[15:13] Chris
    I'm staying with you.
[15:15] Quan
    PathTLive's first concert
    with the five of us...
[15:17] Quan
    Let's make it a success!
[15:24] Riz
    Did you design these, Quan?
[15:27] Chris
    They're wonderful.
[15:28] Quan
    I was hoping we could wear
    these and do something big.
[15:33] Miracle
    Thank you! Thank you, everyone!
[15:37] Noelle
    But time's almost up.
[15:39] Noelle
    Whose lyrics for the song do we use?
[15:43] Riz
    We fell apart once, but now
    we're connected again!
[15:48] Riz
    So...
[15:50] Miracle
    Let's do it, everyone!
[15:54] All
    Yeah!
[15:57] Miracle's Friend 3
    Look, Miracle and her friends are doing
    something just before time runs out!
[16:03] Auris
    Show me the new possibilities you can only
    find after connecting with someone...
[16:12] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, let's go and find it
[16:16] [SONG] PathTLive
    In a world where eternal feelings connect
[16:29] [SONG] Miracle
    The song I listened to all day when I was little
[16:36] [SONG] Miracle
    If I just sing it as hard as I can, I'll stumble but...
[16:43] [SONG] Riz
    No matter what, I want to be true to myself
[16:50] [SONG] Noelle
    I know somewhere out there, there's a shining stage
[16:55] [SONG] Quan
    I'll sign out from this boring level
[17:02] [SONG] Chris
    I want to jump into the other world
[17:11] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, the light our bonds gave us is what illuminates our dreams
[17:18] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining down so strongly on a me I've never seen
[17:25] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, let's head for a tomorrow that will make your heart feel like it's on fire
[17:33] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, you're not alone
[17:36] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find the person you want to be
[17:49] [SONG] Miracle
    There's a signal that's started aching at the bottom of my heart
[17:56] [SONG] Miracle
    Even if I look away, I can't stop my heart from pounding
[18:03] [SONG] Riz
    I don't need the brake I've been clutching anymore
[18:10] [SONG] Noelle
    Let's head faster and race towards our dreams
[18:16] [SONG] Quan
    Sometimes I'll cry or get down, and I'm still not perfect
[18:22] [SONG] Chris
    But I want to give hope to someone in pain
[18:31] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, let's go beyond where our feelings connect
[18:39] [SONG] PathTLive
    A shooting star that crosses over many nights before finally reaching its destination
[18:46] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, if I can access it, I might get so excited my heart will melt
[18:52] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, have courage
[18:56] [SONG] PathTLive
    Reach out your hand towards a bright morning
[19:07] [SONG] Riz/Quan
    The feelings you felt in the corner of your small room
[19:14] [SONG] Chris/Noelle/Miracle
    Will connect beyond the screen and give birth to dreams
[19:21] [SONG] Riz
    Forever and ever
[19:27] [SONG] PathTLive
    I picked up the scattered pieces of past, present, and future and used them to make a map
[19:34] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's a story that's mine alone and I want to believe more strongly in it
[19:41] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, the light our bonds gave us is what illuminates our dreams
[19:48] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining down so strongly on a me I've never seen
[19:55] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, let's head for a tomorrow that will make your heart feel like it's on fire
[20:02] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, you're not alone
[20:06] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find the person you want to be
[20:12] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find a feeling that's eternal
[20:38] Noelle
    That was PathTLive's first song...
[20:42] Miracle
    Wow... all five of our lyrics
    connected and brought us together!
[20:48] Chris
    I was so moved. I was so moved!
[20:51] Riz
    Maybe you're right...
[20:54] Riz
    With the five of us...
[20:57] Quan
    We might be able to create something
    amazing, that nobody's ever seen!
[21:01] Miracle
    PathTLive...
[21:04] Miracle
    is the best!
[21:09] Students
    Wow!
[21:11] Students
    I was shivering!
[21:12] Students
    But collab concerts don't
    really help your rank, right?
[21:15] Students
    What will happen?
[21:23] Vanity
    I will now announce the final rankings for the
    Virtual Grid Awards ADEN Seed qualifiers.
[21:29] Riz
    Here it is!
[21:30] Noelle
    What's Miracle's ranking?
[21:34] Chris
    Miracle, Miracle...
[21:41] Miracle
    I-I made it...
[21:43] Chris
    You did it, Miracle.
[21:45] Noelle
    I'm so glad!
[21:46] Noelle
    I'm so glad...
[21:48] Riz
    Why are you crying?
[21:50] Noelle
    I'm not crying!
[22:00] Quan
    Congratulations, Miracle.
[22:02] Miracle
    Thank you! Thank you!
[22:09] Ada
    So this is the possibility... Miracle...
[22:15] Miracle
    I did it.. I did it!
[22:19] Chris
    You did it!
[22:36] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[22:47] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[22:52] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[22:57] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[23:02] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[23:08] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[23:13] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[23:18] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[23:23] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[23:26] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[23:31] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[23:37] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[23:41] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other
[23:47] [SONG] Song
    I am waiting for... forever

[00:04] Miracle
    I'm Miracle!
[00:06] Miracle
    A sixteen-year old who became a virtual artist
    because after falling in love with Kizuna AI!
[00:10] Miracle
    ADEN Academy is filled with amazing
    artists, and every day is exciting!
[00:15] Miracle
    Right now, I'm in the middle
    of the ADEN Seed Qualifiers,
[00:18] Miracle
    trying to get to the stage of my dreams,
    the Virtual Grid Awards!
[00:22] Miracle
    Together with Quan, Chris, Noelle, and Riz,
[00:25] Miracle
    I formed the group PathTLIVE,
    and tried to get through the qualifiers...
[00:32] Miracle
    And thanks to everybody's help, I made it!
[00:36] Miracle
    But I didn't realize how upset Quan looked...
[02:13] Signs
    Prelude to Harsh Battle
[02:13] Signs
    Prelude to Harsh Battle
[02:14] Miracle
    Thank you so much!
[02:17] Noelle
    I-I get it!
[02:18] Riz
    We all made it through the qualifiers.
[02:21] Riz
    Now we can all aim for the VGAs together!
[02:25] Noelle
    Yeah!
[02:25] Chris
    Let's aim.
[02:26] Noelle
    Yeah... let's.
[02:30] Miracle
    I just can't believe it!
[02:33] Miracle
    So, who got the most votes?
[02:39] Riz
    They're all incredible artists!
[02:41] Riz
    They take their work really seriously and
    have something they believe in strongly.
[02:46] Riz
    These girls, Ellie, Sarah,
    Halle, Jesse, and Niska
[02:51] Riz
    are the top unit at
     ADEN Academy Sigma, BRT5.
[02:55] Miracle
    They're a group of five, like us?
[02:58] Riz
    This is them.
[02:59] Miracle
    Wow, they look so cool!
[03:02] Noelle
    Don't get so impressed!
[03:04] Noelle
    These are the kinds of people
    you'll be competing against!
[03:07] Miracle
    Oh, right!
[03:09] Miracle
    So someday...
[03:15] Chris
    Are you imagining something weird?
[03:19] Miracle
    What's wrong, Quan?
[03:22] Quan
    I don't think I can stay like this...
[03:25] Miracle
    What are you talking about?
    You're super-amazing!
[03:28] Miracle
    You went straight to the top 15!
[03:30] Quan
    B-But...
[03:31] Miracle
    Remember how it went for me?
[03:34] Miracle
    I made a huge mess of everything and
    only barely made it to 14th place!
SIGN    I did a perfect copy of Kizuna AI's LINX
SIGN    I did a perfect copy of the qualifiers song
     (Chris's Version)
[03:39] Miracle
    Compared to me, you're doing great!
[03:42] Noelle
    That's right.
[03:44] Riz
    She did make a mess of everything.
[03:45] Miracle
    You could stick up for me a little!
[03:47] Miracle
    Right, Chris?
[03:49] Chris
    It's okay to make a mess of everything!
[03:51] Chris
    You're human.
[03:52] Miracle
    Thank you!
[03:53] Miracle
    See? You're amazing, Quan!
[03:56] Miracle
    So have confidence!
[03:58] Quan
    R-Right...
[03:59] Miracle
    Hey, the rules for the main event are
    being announced tomorrow, right?
[04:03] Riz
    Yes. The principal will announce them
    to the fifteen qualifiers.
[04:08] Chris
    I wonder what we'll be
    doing for the main event.
[04:10] Miracle
    Right? I can't wait to find out!
[04:12] Miracle
    Let's all do our best!
[04:14] Noelle
    Yes.
[04:15] Riz
    I won't lose!
[04:16] Noelle
    I'll do my best!
[04:17] Miracle
    Okay, let's get ourselves fired up again!
[04:20] Miracle
    We're all going to the VGAs together!
[04:24] Miracle
    Hip-hip-hooray!
[04:28] Miracle
    Do it with me!
[04:32] Noelle
    Sorry!
[04:37] Miracle
    It's finally happening tomorrow.
[04:43] Miracle
    Watch me, AI-chan!
[04:50] (Flashback) Miracle
    What are you talking about?
    You're super-amazing!
[04:53] Quan
    Miracle was being nice, but...
[05:03] Miracle
    Everybody looks really amazing!
[05:05] Noelle
    Stop staring at everyone. It's bad manners.
[05:09] Miracle
    There's BRT5!
[05:12] Noelle
    Hey!
[05:20] Auris
    Hello, everyone.
[05:23] Auris
    I will now explain the
    rules for the main event.
[05:25] Miracle
    Here it is!
[05:27] Auris
    There are ADEN Academies all over the world.
[05:30] Auris
    And the 15 of you have gathered here from
    ADENs Theta, Iota, Lambda, Sigma, and Omega.
[05:39] Auris
    And for the main event,
    you will be having...
[05:43] Auris
    A Unit Battle!
[05:45] Miracle
    A Unit Battle?
[05:47] Sofia
    Huh. Sounds fun.
[05:49] Auris
    You're free to form your unit with anyone,
    and with as many members as you like.
[05:54] Auris
    The units will compete in the main event,
[05:58] Auris
    and whichever wins will earn the chance
    to enter the Virtual Grid Awards.
[06:03] Auris
    You have fifteen days to register your units.
[06:07] Auris
    Over the next fifteen days, I want you to
    collab with the other artists here,
[06:11] Auris
    and see who you're most compatible with.
[06:14] Auris
    Then form the strongest unit to get
    ready for the main event battle!
[06:19] Auris
    Now, good luck!
[06:23] Noelle
    That was a little surprising.
[06:25] Riz
    Yeah, I was sure it would be a solo thing.
[06:28] Chris
    And there's fifteen days until the battle.
[06:30] Miracle
    Here it is!
[06:32] Noelle
    Quiet down!
[06:33] Chris
    Here what is?
[06:35] Miracle
    If it's a unit battle, we can
    just enter as PathTLive!
[06:38] Miracle
    That'll give us over two weeks to practice!
[06:40] Miracle
    This is our chance to win!
[06:43] Miracle
    So here it is!
[06:44] Noelle
    Yes, you're right.
[06:47] Chris
    I agree with Miracle.
[06:48] Riz
    No problems here.
[06:52] Miracle
    You too, right Quan?
[06:54] Quan
    Y-Yeah.
[06:56] Sofia
    So it's a unit battle.
[06:59] Sofia
    Our principal has some funny ideas, huh?
[07:03] Chris
    Who are you?
[07:05] Riz
    She placed second in the qualifiers.
[07:07] Sofia
    I'm Sofia. Nice to meet you.
[07:08] Signs
    Qualifier Ranking 2nd Place
[07:12] Noelle
    Second...
[07:13] Sofia
    You're Chris, right?
[07:16] Sofia
    You look... interesting.
[07:20] Sofia
    I don't know how to say it...
[07:21] Sofia
    THere's something special about
    you that no other artist has.
[07:26] Sofia
    Hey, would you like...
[07:32] Sofia
    You don't want to that badly?
[07:34] Sofia
    I haven't even said anything!
[07:37] Miracle
    Calm down, calm down!
[07:39] Sofia
    And just who are you?
[07:42] Miracle
    Sorry. She scared you, huh?
[07:45] Sofia
    Whatever.
[07:47] Sofia
    Bye, Chris.
[07:52] Miracle
    What's wrong?
[07:54] Chris
    She's dangerous.
[07:55] Miracle
    You mean that girl just now? Why?
[07:58] Chris
    I don't know.
[08:00] Jua
    It's PathTLive!
[08:01] Miracle
    Wow, that scared me!
[08:03] Jua
    I saw your concert upload!
[08:05] Jua
    You were so cool!
[08:06] Riz
    You're...
[08:07] Jua
    I'm Jua! Nice to meet you!
[08:09] Jua
    Qualifier Ranking 5th Place
[08:12] Jua
    Hey, are the five of you entering as PathTLive?
[08:16] Miracle
    Yeah, that's the plan.
[08:18] Jua
    Cool!
[08:19] Jua
    I think that's a great idea, but why not
    try teaming up with some other artists?
[08:24] Jua
    Me, for instance!
[08:27] Jua
    I think you and I would
    get along great, Miracle!
[08:31] Jua
    So why don't we try a collab!
[08:33] Miracle
    But...
[08:34] Riz
    No way.
[08:35] Noelle
    Miracle would never go
    for something like that.
[08:38] Miracle
    Hm, I'm not sure!
[08:39] Both
    Hey!
[08:40] Miracle
    Well, it makes you really happy
    when somebody needs you, right?
[08:45] Quan
    When someone needs you...
[08:47] Noelle
    You traitor! Akechi Mirahide!
[08:50] Riz
    Et tu, Miratus?
[08:52] Chris
    Fujiko Mira.
[08:53] Miracle
    Chris-chan!
[08:57] Jua
    PathTLive is really the best!
[09:00] Miracle
    Jua...
[09:01] Miracle
    I appreciate it, but I can't imagine
    being with anybody but PathTLive!
[09:06] Jua
    Okay, call me if you ever change your mind!
[09:08] Jua
    I'm a fan of PathTLive!
[09:16] Jua
    Hey!
[09:18] Jua
    Thea, who are you collabing with?
[09:24] Riz
    I see.
[09:25] Riz
    The battle's already started, huh?
[09:28] Miracle
    What do you mean?
[09:31] Riz
    Everybody's quietly trying to
    recruit others for collabs,
[09:35] Riz
    or learn about their opponents.
[09:38] Noelle
    We'll have to wait and see
    what everyone does next.
[09:44] Miracle
    But it doesn't matter, 'cause we're
    all staying with PathTLive, right?
[09:48] Noelle
    Okay, let's ditch Miracle and
    go have a strategy meeting.
[09:52] Chris
    Let's.
[09:53] Riz
    I want to look at the data
    for the other artists, too.
[09:56] Miracle
    Guys! It was a joke!
[10:00] Miracle
    Quan, you understand, right?
[10:02] Miracle
    Right?
[10:04] Quan
    Yeah...
[10:09] Auris
    Bonds...
[10:10] Auris
    If they're strong enough,
    then just possibly...
[10:16] Miracle
    Riz, what do you do at a strategy meeting?
[10:19] Riz
    Think of a way to win the main event.
[10:22] Miracle
    I've already found one, actually.
[10:25] Noelle
    No way!
[10:26] Quan
    What way is that?
[10:29] Miracle
    We just make a unit of fifteen people,
    and then we all get to go to the VGAs!
[10:32] Noelle
    Our goal is to express the music we
    have as best we can, in our own way.
[10:38] Noelle
    Whether we get to the VGAs
    or not is just a result of that.
[10:41] Miracle
    Oh, yeah.
[10:43] Noelle
    I do get why you want to go, though.
[10:47] Noelle
    That's why we're having this meeting.
[10:49] Riz
    Right.
[10:50] Riz
    So, let's start by predicting
    who'll pair up with who.
[10:55] Chris
    If we know who's in what unit,
    we can plan how to beat them.
[11:00] Miracle
    But ten of the fifteen are
    PathTLive and BRT5, right?
[11:05] Miracle
    So it's just a question of who the
    other five will team up with, right?
[11:08] Noelle
    You may be right, yeah.
[11:10] Miracle
    Will the five of them make their own unit?
[11:11] Riz
    They're all really different artists.
[11:14] Riz
    I can't see them making music together.
[11:17] Miracle
    Oh, that Jua girl she was talking
    to the one named Ximena.
[11:22] Miracle
    Maybe the two of them will pair up!
[11:24] Noelle
    But she was willing to try and recruit you,
[11:27] Noelle
    which means she might try to
    recruit someone from BRT5!
[11:30] Miracle
    True!
[11:31] Riz
    Look at this!
SIGN    Tomorrow's Light
[11:33] Noelle
    A concert video?
[11:35] Riz
    We can be almost certain that the
    five of them will enter as BRT5.
[11:39] Miracle
    Let's take a look.
[11:40] Chris
    Gotta investigate.
[11:41] Noelle
    Let's see what they've got.
SIGN    Tomorrow's Light
[11:45] Riz
    Okay, here goes.
[13:19] Miracle
    W-Wow!
[13:21] Noelle
    I guess we should've expected that.
[13:23] Chris
    All five of them were really good.
[13:26] Riz
    They're each expressing
    what makes them unique,
[13:28] Riz
    while it meshes together at a high level.
[13:31] Quan
    I finally understand.
[13:35] Riz
    This is...
[13:36] Miracle
    Gonna be a lot of fun, right?
[13:39] Miracle
    We get to see guys at this level up
    close during the main event, right?
[13:43] Miracle
    I'm excited already!
[13:45] Noelle
    Miracle, we're not going to see a concert.
[13:48] Miracle
    Of course not!
[13:49] Miracle
    I'm looking forward to it...
[13:51] Miracle
    because we'll win!
[13:54] Miracle
    BRT5 is strong, yeah.
[13:56] Miracle
    The old me could never win.
[13:59] Miracle
    But... we can win!
[14:03] Quan
    Miracle...
[14:05] Miracle
    With the five of us together,
    we're invincible!
[14:07] Miracle
    That's how I felt when we sang!
[14:09] Miracle
    So no matter who we're up against,
    we'll win for sure!
[14:16] Noelle
    Once in a while, you say something smart.
[14:18] Riz
    Yeah, I think with the
    five of us, we can win.
[14:22] Chris
    I'm sure we can.
[14:23] Miracle
    Right?
[14:24] Miracle
    What do you think, Quan?
[14:27] Miracle
    Quan...
[14:28] Quan
    I...
[14:30] Quan
    I want to support Miracle,
     for accepting me for who I am.
[14:34] Quan
    That's why I took the first step
    towards being a virtual artist.
[14:38] Quan
    That was the first time I put my own
    feelings into the lyrics during a performance.
[14:43] Quan
    I really felt like maybe it was fun to sing,
    that maybe I wanted to be a virtual artist!
[14:49] Quan
    And so I came out of my shell...
[14:54] Quan
    After I took this form...
[14:56] Quan
    and did a performance under the name
    PathTLive that you came up with...
[15:00] Quan
    I realized that we can make something
    really powerful together.
[15:04] Miracle
    That's right.
[15:05] Quan
    But...
[15:06] Quan
    I finally understand.
[15:07] Quan
    I...
[15:09] Quan
    I didn't want to hold everyone back.
[15:13] Quan
    Because I love them so much.
[15:15] Miracle
    What's wrong?
[15:26] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    SHINING-i, let's go and find it
[15:30] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    In a world where eternal feelings connect
[15:42] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    The song I listened to
    all day when I was little
[15:49] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    If I just sing it as hard as
    I can, I'll stumble but...
[15:56] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    No matter what, I want to be true to myself
[16:03] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    I know somewhere out there,
    there's a shining stage
[16:07] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    I know somewhere out there,
    there's a shining stage

[16:07] Sarah
    There's potential there.
[16:09] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    I'll sign out from this boring level
[16:10] Jessie
    But there's no denying it's still rough.
[16:13] Sarah
    This girl's holding them back.
[16:16] Halle
    There's definitely something there, though.
[16:16] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    I want to jump into the other world
[16:19] Ellie
    She's the dark horse, yeah.
[16:21] Ellie
    But I think she has the most
    potential of any of them.
[16:24] Jessie
    Sure you're not just being nice?
[16:25] [SONG] Song SHININGi
    SHINING-i, the light our bonds gave us—
[16:26] Sarah
    It's important to be able
    to tell the difference.
[16:30] Miracle
    Anyway, if PathTLive is going
    to win the main event,
[16:33] Miracle
    we need more experience!
[16:35] Miracle
    So let's do a concert—
[16:37] Quan
    Wait.
[16:39] Quan
    I'm sure that if I stay in PathTLive,
     I won't get better.
[16:44] Miracle
    Why?
[16:45] Quan
    Because I'm weak.
[16:48] Quan
    If I stay with you,
    I'll just let you do all the work.
[16:50] Quan
    And I can't do that!
[16:52] Noelle
    Quan...
[16:54] Quan
    I want to get better and
    repay the four of you!
[16:58] Miracle
    You're worrying too much!
[17:00] Noelle
    I understand what she's saying.
[17:02] Miracle
    You, too?!
[17:03] Noelle
    I think PathTLive is invincible as well.
[17:06] Miracle
    Then...
[17:07] Noelle
    But when I saw BRT5's video,
[17:11] Noelle
    I realized that it might be
    better to gain more experience.
[17:16] Miracle
    Well...
[17:18] Noelle
    And I think one way to do that might
    be collabing with other artists.
[17:23] Riz
    I agree, I think.
[17:26] Miracle
    You too, Riz?
[17:27] Riz
    That might be the optimal answer
    for winning the main event!
[17:31] Miracle
    What about you, Chris?
[17:33] Chris
    I want to stay with you, Miracle.
[17:34] Miracle
    Right?
[17:36] Chris
    But...
[17:37] Chris
    I want to find my own possibilities.
[17:40] Miracle
    What's wrong, everyone?
[17:42] Miracle
    Let's do PathTLive!
[17:44] Quan
    I want to connect more...
[17:48] Quan
    Miracle... Chris... Noelle... Riz...
[17:52] Quan
    By connecting with PathTLive, my future
    as a virtual artist started to shine.
[17:59] Quan
    I want to touch that light more.
[18:02] Miracle
    That's right!
[18:03] Quan
    I want to be in the Virtual
    Grid Awards with everyone!
[18:08] Quan
    So...
[18:08] Miracle
    Right? So...
[18:11] Quan
    Let me think a little more.
[18:12] Miracle
    Gwah!
[18:14] Riz
    Don't worry.
[18:15] Riz
    We're just going to get a little
    more experience. That's all.
[18:19] Miracle
    Fine!
[18:21] Miracle
    Once you've collabed with the others,
    come back and do PathTLive, okay?
[18:24] ALL
    Right.
[18:25] Quan
    I'm going to do what I can right now, too.
[18:33] Quan
    But where do I start?
[18:37] Sarah
    You're Quan?
[18:39] Quan
    B-BRT5?
[18:47] Sarah
    I'll be brief, Quan.
[18:50] Sarah
    Join BRT5.
[18:54] Halle
    She froze!
[18:55] Ellie
    Sorry, that wasn't a good way to say it.
[18:58] Ellie
    We want you to join BRT5
    as our newest member.
[19:03] Quan
    Oh... Huh?
[19:05] Halle
    She froze again!
[19:07] Halle
    From now on, you're Frozen Quan!
[19:09] Halle
    Don't give her a weird nickname.
[19:11] Jessie
    You don't have to, if you don't want to.
[19:12] Sarah
    You're free to pick whichever team you like.
[19:22] Niska
    So that's who they went after, huh?
[19:24] Niska
    It's true... she has enormous
    potential as a virtual artist.
[19:29] Niska
    But the one who brought
    that potential out was...

[21:10] Riz
    It's time for Riz-Chri Labs!
[21:13] Riz
    Today we'll be investigating the mysteries
    you're all dying to know about.
[21:18] Riz
    Chris-kun, what's our theme for today?
[21:21] Chris
    Here it is, Professor.
[21:21] Chris
    Internet Sea Slug
[21:23] Riz
    No, no.
[21:26] Riz
    That's next week's.
[21:28] Chris
    It's this!
[21:30] Riz
    BRT5!
[21:31] Riz
    You all know them as the five-member
    virtual artist unit from ADEN Sigma.
[21:36] Riz
    They're so good that four of them made it into
    the top ten of the ADEN Seed qualifiers!
[21:40] Chris
    Professor!
[21:41] Riz
    What is it, Chris-kun?
[21:42] Chris
    Why does this Niska person
    have a slightly lower rank?
[21:46] Riz
    Good question!
[21:48] Riz
    She's BRT5's leader.
[21:50] Riz
    The reason she only got twelvth place in the
    qualifiers might be that she still wasn't serious...
[21:54] Riz
    Or perhaps there was another reason?
[21:57] Riz
    There are lots of theories online.
[22:00] Chris
    Another reason?
[22:02] Chris
    Food poisoning!
[22:03] Riz
    No.
[22:04] Riz
    Next up is Jessie!
[22:06] Riz
    She was born into a family of opera
    singers, and has perfect pitch.
[22:10] Riz
    She's also the best singer in the group!
[22:13] Chris
    Professor.
[22:14] Riz
    What is it, Chris-kun?
[22:16] Chris
    "Opera" means "work" or "labor" in Italian.
[22:19] Riz
    Why did you suddenly decide
    to share that trivia?
[22:22] Riz
    Next is Ellie, the unit's center.
[22:26] Riz
    But she's got an easygoing personality and
    usually acts like the group's mother, they say.
[22:31] Chris
    Pwofesswah.
[22:32] Riz
    Professor!
[22:33] Chris
    For PathTLive, you're our mother.
[22:38] Riz
    No way! Is that how you see me?
[22:40] Riz
    Next is Sarah!
[22:42] Riz
    She can play any kind of instrument,
    write lyrics, and is an amazing athlete!
[22:47] Riz
    A lot of places besides ADEN
    wanted to recruit her!
[22:51] Chris
    Powfessah.
[22:51] Riz
    Professor.
[22:52] Chris
    Recruit her to play baseball?
[22:55] Riz
    Nope!
[22:56] Chris
    Last is Halle!
[22:57] Chris
    She's the youngest member,
    and the group's little sister.
[23:00] Chris
    But she's the tallest,
    and also the biggest eater!
[23:03] Chris
    She's the type who can eat and not get fat.
[23:06] Riz
    Well, Chris-kun? What do
    you think about BRT5?
[23:09] Chris
    They all have something
    that makes them unique,
[23:13] Chris
    but right now, I think they're
    much stronger than PathTLive.
[23:17] Riz
    Yeah. We'll have to come up with some kind
    of plan to beat them in the main event.
[23:23] Chris
    Yes, Professor.
[23:24] Riz
    Now Chris-kun, please announce
    our research results for today!
SIGN    They're all very talented,
[23:28] Chris
    They're all very talented,
SIGN    but also very unique.
[23:31] Chris
    but also very unique.
SIGN    Not a haiku.
[23:32] Chris
    That's not a haiku.
[23:34] Riz
    Why would it be a haiku?
[23:36] Chris
    See you next week?

[00:04] Quan
    The main event is a battle between
    units for the right to go to the VGAs.
[00:09] Quan
    Fifteen artists will form units and perform.
[00:15] Quan
    Miracle was all set to participate
    as PathTLive, but...
[00:19] Quan
    What is this feeling?
[00:21] Quan
    And then the other participants
    came to talk to us...
[00:25] (Flashback) Sofia
    You look... interesting.
[00:28] (Flashback) Jua
    I think you and I would
    get along great, Miracle!
[00:31] Quan
    BRT5, especially, was amazing.
[00:35] Quan
    I couldn't take my eyes off
    their incredible performance.
[00:39] Quan
    And then I realized what
    it was I was feeling...
[00:44] Quan
    I didn't want to be the one
    holding everyone back.
[00:48] Quan
    I wanted to change.
[00:49] Quan
    And then I met...
[00:55] (Flashback) Sarah
    I'll be brief, Quan.
[00:58] (Flashback) Sarah
    Join BRT5.
[01:00] Quan
    Those words surprised me, and I...

[02:40] Miracle
    I'd like some fortune takoyaki.
[02:42] Cafeteria Vanity
    One moment, please.
[02:45] Vanity
    You've been snacking a
    lot lately, Miracle-san.
[02:50] Vanity
    Looking at this past week's data,
[02:52] Vanity
    you've been eating an average
    of two snacks a day.
[02:55] Vanity
    You're exceeding your recommended
     maximum calorie limit almost every day.
[03:00] Miracle
    It's fine! It's fine!
[03:02] Miracle
    I've got a feeling I'll get a
    heart-shaped octopus today!
[03:05] Vanity
    A virtual artist needs to pay
    careful attention to their health.
[03:11] Vanity
    That's what you said when you assigned
    me to help you with your healthcare.
[03:15] Miracle
    Very true!
[03:17] Miracle
    But now I need to start working even
    harder to prep for the main event!
[03:20] Miracle
    So pretend you didn't see it!
[03:24] Cafeteria Vanity
    Here you go!
[03:26] Miracle
    Thanks!
[03:29] Miracle
    I know!
[03:35] Miracle
    Softly...
[03:38] Miracle
    Hey, there!
[03:41] Miracle
    Oh, no!
[03:42] Quan
    Miracle...
[03:44] Miracle
    I'm sorry.
[03:45] Miracle
    I didn't think you'd get that surprised.
[03:49] Quan
    No, it's fine.
[03:54] Quan
    Anyway, why don't you sit down?
[03:56] Miracle
    O-Okay.
[03:59] Quan
    Here you go.
[04:02] Miracle
    Thanks!
[04:07] Miracle
    Your tea really is the best!
[04:09] Miracle
    It makes me feel all warm,
    like I'm in a hot spring!
[04:15] Quan
    You don't change, do you?
[04:19] Miracle
    Oh, right!
[04:20] Miracle
    I brought some fortune takoyaki!
[04:24] Miracle
    Have some!
[04:26] Quan
    Thanks.
[04:27] Miracle
    I've got a feeling we're gonna find
    a heart-shaped octopus today!
[04:31] Quan
    Oh, isn't eating those supposed to...
[04:33] Miracle
    Yes, something lucky will happen to you!
[04:36] Miracle
    I feel like right now, I've got a mysterious
    power that's drawing that stuff to me.
[04:40] Miracle
    I mean, I did make it through
    the qualifiers for the VGAs!
[04:44] Quan
    I see. Congratulations.
[04:46] Miracle
    Thank you!
[04:49] Miracle
    It was really close, though.
[04:53] Quan
    You made it. That's all that matters.
[04:55] Miracle
    Right?
[04:57] Miracle
    Actually, it doesn't bother me that much.
[05:00] Miracle
    Oh, and what's more,
[05:02] Miracle
    I get to form a unit and perform
    with other girls who qualified!
[05:08] Quan
    I see.
[05:09] Miracle
    All of the qualifiers are
    really amazing artists!
[05:13] Miracle
    I saw a video by this group named BRT5!
[05:17] Miracle
    And every single one of them
    gave a perfect performance!
[05:20] Miracle
    I was so impressed!
[05:22] Quan
    Yeah, it was a really amazing performance.
[05:26] Miracle
    Anyway, so when I saw it, I felt even more
    strongly that I didn't want to lose to them!
[05:30] Miracle
    That I wanted to win with the unit
    I formed with everyone, PathTLive!
[05:38] Miracle
    Is something wrong?
[05:40] Quan
    No... You're having fun, huh? I can tell.
[05:46] Miracle
    I am!
[05:48] Quan
    I'll take a takoyaki.
[05:56] Quan
    Huh? Is this...
[05:59] Miracle
    Is it the heart-shaped octopus?
[06:01] Quan
    I think so!
[06:03] Miracle
    Hooray!
[06:05] Miracle
    I am lucky!
[06:07] Quan
    I'm the one who ate it. But you're happy?
[06:09] Miracle
    Of course!
[06:11] Miracle
    When someone else is happy, so am I!
[06:14] Miracle
    So if somebody else is lucky, so am I!
[06:18] Quan
    That's right.
[06:20] Quan
    That's who Miracle is.
[06:22] Miracle
    I'll have one, too!
[06:23] Miracle
    There might be a miraculous
    second heart-shaped takoyaki!
[06:29] Quan
    I just remembered I have somewhere to be.
[06:32] Miracle
    I see.
[06:33] Miracle
    Sorry for just showing up like this.
[06:36] Quan
    No. I'm glad we got to talk.
[06:39] Miracle
    Tell me if something lucky happens.
[06:42] Quan
    I will.
[06:45] Miracle
    Okay, I'll be going!
[06:48] Miracle
    Bye!
[06:49] Quan
    Yeah, bye.
[06:54] Quan
    I can't stay like this.
[06:59] Quan
    I need to be someone who can share
    in the fun Miracle is having.
[07:06] Noelle
    You're weirding me out.
[07:08] Noelle
    What's wrong, Miracle?
[07:10] Miracle
    I sent Quan a message to come.
[07:12] Miracle
    But she hasn't answered me!
[07:14] Noelle
    Well, she's got their
    own life to live, right?
[07:18] Noelle
    Maybe she's on a date?
[07:20] Miracle
    A date!
[07:22] Miracle
    How sweet!
[07:24] Miracle
    And yet bitter!
[07:26] Miracle
    And also salty, sour, and umami, too!
[07:32] Chris
    What flavor is that?
[07:33] Riz
    Just the word "date" sets
    her off like that, huh?
[07:37] Noelle
    Ignore her.
[07:40] Miracle
    Maybe it's Quan!
[07:43] Miracle
    Aww, it isn't.

[07:45] Chris
    BRT5 is doing a performance tomorrow.
[07:49] Riz
    So the five of them did form a unit.
[07:52] Noelle
    I wonder what the concert will be like.
[07:54] Noelle
    I'm excited to see.
[07:56] Miracle
    Right? I can't wait!
[07:58] Miracle
    Let's all watch it together.
[08:00] Noelle
    I'm in. What about you guys?
[08:02] Riz
    Sure.

    Let's meet here at the
    same time tomorrow!
[08:21] Miracle
    It's almost time!

    BRT5 is the strongest unit, and now we've
    got the strongest member joining us!
[10:06] Ellie
    Quan!
[10:09] Quan
    I'm Quan with BRT5!
[10:11] Quan
    I'm very glad to be here!
[10:22] Miracle
    Quan...
[10:23] Chris
    Miracle, are you okay?
[10:25] Miracle
    Why would she... Why?
[10:28] Riz
    Calm down!
[10:30] Riz
    I'm sure it's related to what she said before,
[10:31] Riz
    about wanting to get more practice!
[10:34] Miracle
    But just now she said, "Quan with BRT5!"
[10:37] Riz
    You'll have to ask her what that means!
[10:41] Miracle
    Why...
[10:44] Miracle
    I have to go see Quan.
[10:48] Miracle
    I'm going to go see her and talk to her.
[10:55] Miracle
    Where do I go?
[10:57] Miracle
    How can I find her?
[10:59] Miracle
    At times like this...
[11:09] Miracle
    Um... can we talk?
[11:11] Quan
    Come with me.
[11:23] Quan
    There's something I want to tell you.
[11:25] Quan
    So I want you to come with me.
[11:47] Miracle
    Quan?
[11:48] Quan
    Miracle, I wanted you to know...
[11:51] Quan
    About me, Quan.
[11:55] Miracle
    You're Quan?
[11:59] Quan
    Yeah.
[12:01] Quan
    Let me be the one to tell you.
[12:05] Quan
    I'm joining BRT5!
[12:08] Quan
    I want to see how far I can go in BRT5!
[12:17] Quan
    At first, I had fun just
    performing with everyone.
[12:22] Quan
    I was so happy that you all
    accepted me for who I am.
[12:26] Quan
    You were the light that illuminated me.
[12:30] Quan
    But I don't think I can stay like this.
[12:35] Quan
    I want to be able to walk by your side.
[12:38] Quan
    And for that, I can't just have other
    people shine their light on me.
[12:42] Quan
    I have to shine myself, I think.
[12:48] Quan
    Just like how every member of BRT5
    shines with their own color...
[12:52] Quan
    I want to find my own light!
[12:55] Miracle
    You're Quan...
[12:57] Miracle
    And Quan's going to BRT5...
[12:59] Miracle
    So much is happening that
    I just don't understand anymore!
[13:03] Quan
    Miracle!
[13:05] Miracle
    Um... I'm uh...
[13:09] Miracle
    I'm sorry!
[13:18] Miracle
    Quan...
[13:21] Miracle
    We can't be together anymore?
[13:27] Niska
    That girl...
[13:32] [SONG] Song
    If you could be reincarnated,
    what kind of you would you like to be?
[13:38] [SONG] Song
    If that's what you wish for,
    I'll cast a little spell
[13:44] [SONG] Song
    If I were—
[13:44] Miracle
    AI-chan...
[13:50] Kizuna AI
    A bond can't be broken that easily.
[13:52] Kizuna AI
    'Cause the path continues onward.
[13:55] Miracle
    The path continues?
[14:06] Miracle
    AI-chan, what does
    "the path continues" mean?
[14:30] Miracle
    It's beautiful.
[14:32] Miracle
    But... where am I?
[14:33] Niska
    I've been waiting for you, Miracle.
[14:36] Miracle
    Waiting for me?
[14:37] Miracle
    Who are you?
[14:39] Niska
    I'm Niska.
[14:40] Niska
    You once told me you liked
    my avatar, didn't you?
[14:44] Niska
    Vanity-sensei told me.
[14:47] Miracle
    Your avatar?
[14:48] (Flashback) Miracle
    This avatar is amazing...
[14:51] (Flashback) Miracle
    It's cool.
[14:53] (Flashback) Miracle
    But that's not all...
[14:55] (Flashback) Miracle
    It has this feeling of solitude about it...
[14:59] Miracle
    Oh, I saw you in the Designer course!
[15:05] Miracle
    Then you drew this?
[15:07] Niska
    Yup.
[15:07] Miracle
    Why did you give this to me?
[15:09] Niska
    It's a map.
[15:10] Niska
    You looked lost.
[15:12] Miracle
    What's with this person?
[15:17] Niska
    What?
[15:19] Miracle
    Oh, you're with BRT5!
[15:21] Niska
    Yeah.
[15:22] Niska
    Former BRT5, actually.
[15:24] Miracle
    Former?
[15:26] Niska
    I left.
[15:28] Niska
    They've gotten a new member already, though.
[15:32] Niska
    What was her name?
[15:34] Miracle
    Quan.
[15:36] Niska
    Yes, that's right.
[15:37] Niska
    Her.
[15:41] Niska
    Would you like to talk about it?
[15:45] Niska
    I see a big rain cloud over your head.
[15:48] Niska
    Is that Quan person the reason?
[15:55] Miracle
    I thought Quan would stay
    with PathTLive forever.
[16:00] Miracle
    But now she's with BRT5.
[16:05] Miracle
    Quan showed me everything,
[16:07] Miracle
    including what she looked
    like in the real world.
[16:09] Miracle
    But so much happened at once
    that I just got overwhelmed.
[16:14] Miracle
    I couldn't take it and I ran.
[16:17] Niska
    Maybe she's struggling
    right now as best she can.
[16:22] Niska
    With the gap between her ideals and reality,
[16:24] Niska
    and her desire to stay with PathTLive
[16:26] Niska
    and her feeling that she
    can't stay who she is.
[16:29] Miracle
    I see.
[16:32] Miracle
    Quan was struggling and
    suffering this whole time...
[16:37] Miracle
    I was right next to her,
    and I didn't realize...
[16:42] Niska
    This girl...
[16:43] Miracle
    Because it was fun. Because I was happy...
[16:46] Miracle
    I thought Quan felt the same way.
[16:48] Miracle
    I wasn't even thinking about her!
[16:51] Miracle
    She said she wanted to see how
    far she could go with BRT5.
[16:57] Miracle
    When she wanted to get better as an artist,
    she didn't choose to do it with me.
[17:02] Miracle
    And that feels lousy.
[17:04] Niska
    You're not blaming her.
     You're trying to understand her.
[17:09] Niska
    I'm jealous.
[17:11] Miracle
    I'm no good at all.
[17:12] Miracle
    I didn't understand her at all.
[17:15] Niska
    It's okay.
[17:17] Niska
    Even if you didn't understand her,
[17:20] Niska
    even if there was a misunderstanding,
[17:21] Niska
    as long as you try to
    understand the other person,
[17:24] Niska
    your path continues onwards.
[17:27] Miracle
    AI-chan...
[17:29] Miracle
    Oh, so that's it.
[17:32] Miracle
    But it was her decision, right?
[17:35] Miracle
    Yeah. So I won't complain!
[17:38] Niska
    I see.
[17:39] Miracle
    But it makes me so sad and frustrated!
[17:43] Miracle
    I'm so stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
[17:45] Niska
    It soudns like your rain clouds
    have lifted, then.
[17:50] Miracle
    Yeah.
[17:52] Miracle
    I've got a lot to think about, though.
[17:54] Niska
    I hope a sunny day comes soon, though.
[17:56] Miracle
    Yeah.
[17:57] Miracle
    If I'd stayed by myself, I would've
    kept getting more and more depressed.
[18:02] Miracle
    Thanks, Niska!
[18:06] Niska
    You're welcome.
[18:08] Niska
    Come back any time if you feel lost, miss.
[18:17] Miracle
    And so you see, Quan joined
    BRT5 to improve her skills!
[18:21] Miracle
    That's our Quan, huh?
[18:23] Miracle
    She's amazing! Now clap.
[18:26] Noelle
    Quan left?
[18:27] Noelle
    I feel like I'm not good enough either.
[18:32] Noelle
    I know that it's not easy to get to the top.
[18:36] Noelle
    But I can't believe I was only 4th place!
[18:39] Noelle
    While I was sitting around moping,
    Quan was already taking action.
[18:45] Noelle
    I feel like I'm late out of the gate.
[18:47] Riz
    Noelle, you tired?
[18:49] Noelle
    No, I was just surprised about Quan.
[18:53] Riz
    I see. It is a surprise, yeah.
[18:56] Miracle
    Well, I'm more surprised than anybody!
[18:59] Miracle
    But now I'm, like, totally
    ready to give this my all!
[19:03] Miracle
    Let's do our best!
[19:04] Noelle
    Yeah, let's.
[19:06] Riz
    Yup, yup.
[19:08] Vanity
    Miracle-san, the lesson room
    you reserved will be available soon.
[19:14] Miracle
    Oh, right.
[19:15] Miracle
    Okay, bye everyone!
[19:24] Miracle
    Quan...
[19:26] Miracle
    It kind of hurts not to have her here.
[19:30] Chris
    Miracle.
[19:32] Miracle
    C-Chris?
[19:34] Chris
    You doing okay?
[19:35] Miracle
    Huh?!
[19:36] Miracle
    O-Of course!
[19:38] Miracle
    I was about to do some secret dance
    lessons so I could surprise everybody!
[19:46] Miracle
    I'm okay.
[19:47] Miracle
    Thanks.
[19:48] Chris
    Really?
[19:49] Miracle
    Really, really!
[19:51] Miracle
    Just you wait! Before long, I'll show you
    a dance that will knock your socks off!
[19:55] Chris
    My socks?
[19:57] Miracle
    Yup.
[19:59] Chris
    I'll look forward to that.
[20:01] Chris
    Good luck.
[20:02] Miracle
    Yeah, thanks!
[20:09] Miracle
    Okay, time to get to work!
[20:12] Miracle
    'Cause the path continues onwards...

[22:06] Noelle
    Try to match my excitement, please!
[22:08] Chris
    I keep my passion hidden in my heart.
[22:10] Noelle
    Well, don't hide it. Show it!
[22:12] Chris
    Today, Noelle-san will attempt
    to answer some riddles.
[22:15] Noelle
    Glad to be here!
[22:16] Chris
    Are you feeling confident, Noelle-san?
[22:18] Noelle
    I'm ready for anything!
     I'm confident I can answer any riddle!
[22:23] Chris
    Glad to hear it.
[22:24] Chris
    Here's the first question, then.
[22:26] Sign
    What bug is at the heart of the world (sekai)?
[22:27] Chris
    What bug is at the heart of the world (sekai)?
[22:30] Noelle
    That's simple! The word at the center of sekai is ka (mosquito)!
[22:31] Sign
    Se ka i
[22:31] Sign
    Se ka i
[22:33] Sign
    ka
[22:33] Sign
    ka
[22:34] Sign
    mosquito
[22:34] Sign
    mosquito
[22:36] Chris
    That's right.
[22:37] Noelle
    That wasn't too hard.
[22:39] Chris
    The second question is...
[22:41] Chris
    What do you get even though you don't want it?
[22:41] Chris
    What do you get even though you don't want it?
[22:43] Noelle
    There's probably something
    going on with "get."
[22:44] Sign
    get
[22:44] Sign
    get
[22:46] Sign
    get something
[22:46] Sign
    get something
[22:47] Noelle
    It doesn't mean "get" a physical object.
[22:50] Noelle
    It means "get older."
[22:50] Sign
    get something
[22:50] Sign
    get something
[22:53] Noelle
    Which means the answer is "older"!
[22:53] Noelle
    get older
[22:53] Noelle
    get older
[22:56] Chris
    That's right.
[22:57] Chris
    Some people don't like getting older.
[23:00] Noelle
    These are too easy.
[23:02] Chris
    There's more to come.
[23:04] Chris
    Question 3. What elephant (zou)
    is within the human body?
[23:06] Chris
    What elephant (zou) is within the human body?
[23:08] Noelle
    That's easy. The knees (hizakoZOU).
[23:09] Sign
    Knees
[23:09] Sign
    Knees
[23:09] Sign
    But
[23:09] Sign
    But
[23:11] Chris
    But...
[23:12] [SONG] Chris
    If you drop a circle on your knees (hiza),what food does it become?
[23:12] Chris
    If you drop a circle on your knees (hiza),
    what food does it become?
[23:15] Noelle
    Oh, I get it.
[23:17] Noelle
    But don't I get credit for the one I answered already?
[23:20] Chris
    Give me your answer, please.
[23:21] [SONG] Chris
    If you drop a circle on your knees (hiza),what food does it become?
[23:21] Sign
    hiza
[23:21] Sign
    hiza
[23:21] Noelle
    Um... it's a circle on knees (hiza), so "pizza" (piza).
[23:24] Sign
    piza
[23:24] Sign
    piza
[23:25] Sign
    the real
    answer is
[23:25] Sign
    the real
    answer is
[23:25] Chris
    But the real answer is...
[23:27] Noelle
    No, I've already answered the riddle!
[23:31] Chris
    You have!
[23:32] Chris
    But the real answer is...
[23:34] Noelle
    Knock it off!
[23:36] Noelle
    See you next time!

    I was so happy that everyone in
    PathTLive made it past the qualifiers.
[00:08] Miracle
    I was sure we'd all be able
    to perform together again.
[00:13] (Flashback) Miracle
    So why did Quan... Why?
[00:16] Miracle
    And then, she wanted to talk to me!
[00:20] (Flashback) Quan
    Miracle, I wanted you to know...
[00:23] (Flashback) Quan
    About me, Quan.
[00:27] (Flashback) Miracle
    Um... I'm uh...
[00:29] (Flashback) Miracle
    I'm sorry!
[00:32] Miracle
    After I ran away, AI-chan spoke to me.
[00:35] (Flashback) Kizuna AI
    A bond can't be broken that easily.
[00:38] (Flashback) Kizuna AI
    Because the path continues onward.
[00:40] Miracle
    And then I met Niska from BRT5!
[00:44] Miracle
    Talking to Niska made me feel
    just a little bit better.
[00:48] Miracle
    I talked to everybody about Quan...
[00:50] Miracle
    We'll be able to connect again, right?

    The class I was taking
    got canceled for today.
[02:57] Miracle
    Hey, we're in different

[03:01] Chris
    Yeah.
[03:03] Miracle
    We're almost always in the same classes.
    That's kind of rare, right?
[03:07] Chris
    Yeah.

[03:38] Miracle
    Well, um...
[03:41] Miracle
    I know!
[03:42] Miracle
    Maybe Niska can help Chris

[03:47] Miracle
    Chris...
[03:50] Miracle
    Will you come with me?
[03:56] Chris
    Where are we going?
[03:57] Miracle
    You'll see!
[04:06] Niska
    Come in.
[04:11] Chris
    Niska... with BRT5.
[04:15] Niska
    Welcome, both of you.
[04:17] Niska
    I'm in the middle of some work, though.
[04:20] Niska
    Will you wait for me to finish?
[04:26] Miracle
    Niska, this is my friend, Chris!
[04:29] Niska
    Nice to meet you.
[04:30] Miracle
    Chris, this is Niska!
[04:34] Miracle
    When I was down about what happened
    with Quan, Niska helped me.
[04:40] Miracle
    So I thought that maybe she could help you.
[04:44] Chris
    I see.
[04:45] Niska
    I hope I can help.
[04:49] Chris
    You're with BRT5, right?
[04:52] Chris
    But you came to talk to her about Quan?
[04:55] Miracle
    Well...
[04:57] Niska
    I've already left BRT5.
[05:00] Niska
    That's why she came to talk to me.
[05:03] Miracle
    That's right.
[05:04] Chris
    Why?
[05:06] Chris
    Why did you leave?
[05:08] Miracle
    S-Stop!
[05:11] Miracle
    C-Chris, you can't ask that!
[05:13] Chris
    I can't?
[05:14] Miracle
    You can't just come out and ask!
[05:20] Niska
    You two are great.
[05:22] Niska
    It's fine.
[05:24] Niska
    There's no point in hiding it.
[05:27] Niska
    A long time ago, I watched a documentary
     about a group of mountain climbers.
[05:33] Niska
    They climbed up the steepest cliffs
    I've ever seen, thousands of meters high,
[05:38] Niska
    with nothing but their seils, their climbing
    ropes, and their trust in one another.
[05:42] Niska
    Even in the most extreme situation possible,
[05:44] Niska
    where a single moment's overconfidence
    or hesitation can lead to death...
[05:49] Niska
    An interviewer asked them...
[05:52] Niska
    "Do you ever feel fear
    when you're climbing?"
[05:56] Niska
    And this is what they said.
[05:58] Niska
    "Of course we do."
[06:00] Niska
    "But even if we fall, our seil
     partners will be there for us."
[06:07] Niska
    Seil partners...
[06:09] Niska
    It's a great word, I think.
[06:11] Niska
    Because I have my comrades with me,
     I can lead my group anywhere.
[06:16] Niska
    That's what BRT5 was to me.
[06:21] Chris
    But you left.
[06:24] Niska
    I've worked for a long time to become a
    top virtual artist and a top designer.
[06:30] Niska
    But one day, my comrades told me...
[06:34] Niska
    That they wanted me to quit being
    a designer and just focus on BRT5.
[06:38] Niska
    For me, being a designer and being
    a virtual artist are both my seil.
[06:45] Niska
    It doesn't matter what other
    people think is the most important.
[06:54] Niska
    Only I can decide the path I follow.
[06:58] Niska
    That's why I left.
[07:00] Niska
    But you see,
[07:02] Niska
    now that I've left BRT5,
    and now that I'm just "Niska,"
[07:06] Niska
    I'm going to work even harder at
    design and being a virtual artist.
[07:12] Niska
    That's my goal right now, I guess.
[07:15] Niska
    Sorry for the long speech.
[07:17] Niska
    It must have bored you.
[07:19] Miracle
    No, not at all.
[07:21] Niska
    So, what's on your mind?
[07:25] Chris
    There's someone I want to help.
[07:27] Chris
    And I want to be able to
    understand them to the point
[07:30] Chris
    where I could be like them,
    or even become them.
[07:34] Chris
    And I don't know how...
[07:37] Niska
    Will being like them really help them?
[07:44] Niska
    For instance, did this
    person ask you to do that?
[07:51] Niska
    People don't look at how they're the same.
[07:54] Niska
    They look at how they're different.
[07:56] Niska
    Because of that, sometimes we
    don't understand each other,
[07:59] Niska
    and sometimes we don't get along.
[08:00] Niska
    But that's why we can believe in each other.
[08:05] Niska
    Maybe those differences are
    what connect the two of you.
[08:09] Chris
    Then what do I do?
[08:12] Niska
    Don't worry about them, for now.
[08:15] Niska
    For now, you need to find what it is
    you like, and what you're good at.
[08:18] Niska
    Your own possibilities.
[08:21] Niska
    Any idea what those might be?
[08:25] Chris
    What I'm good at...
[08:29] Miracle
    I hope you find your own seil soon.
[08:35] Chris
    Thank you.
[08:37] Miracle
    Am I the only one who's
    not trying to change?
[08:51] Miracle
    This place is beautiful, isn't it?
[08:54] Chris
    Yeah.
[08:57] Chris
    Miracle.
[08:59] Chris
    Will you do a collab with me?
[09:13] (Flashback) Chris
    But... I want time.
[09:16] (Flashback) Chris
    I don't want to just do it right now.
[09:19] (Flashback) Chris
    First, I want to find my own seil.
[09:24] (Flashback) Chris
    When I find that, I'll contact you.
[09:27] (Flashback) Miracle
    Okay.
[09:30] Miracle
    It's not just Chris... Noelle...
    Riz... and probably Quan, too...
[09:36] Miracle
    They're all likely working as hard
    as they can to take the next step.
[09:41] Miracle
    So I need to do that, too.
[09:43] Miracle
    I can't just sit around and do nothing.
[09:46] Miracle
    I need to take the next step, too!
[09:53] Chris
    Niska was right.
[09:56] Chris
    Ever since I met Miracle, everything
    I've done has centered around her.

[10:32] Noelle
    We haven't seen Chris for three whole days...
[10:36] Riz
    And for once, Miracle's
    nowhere to be seen either.
[10:43] Miracle
    Let's hurry up and do a
    concert as PathTLive!
[10:46] Miracle
    Why don't we all practice?
[10:49] Miracle
    I'm sure our next concert
    will be a great one!
[10:59] Noelle
    W-Well, if she's not around, it'll be
    easier to focus on practicing, right?
[11:04] Riz
    Who are you going to collab with, Noelle?
[11:08] Riz
    If both Chris and Miracle aren't here,
[11:11] Riz
    they might be practicing
    for a collab themselves!
[11:15] Riz
    This might be a good chance to try
    collabing with different people.
[11:19] Riz
    I think once in a while,
    you need to try something new!
[11:23] Noelle
    Well, sure, but...
[11:34] Miracle
    Ow!
[11:36] Vanity
    You've been pushing yourself
    too hard, Miracle-san!
[11:40] Vanity
    I told you not to overdo it.
[11:45] Miracle
    I know, but...
[11:47] Miracle
    I want to show everybody
    that I've grown, too!
[11:52] Vanity
    You have a new message from Chris-san!
[11:56] Miracle
    Ow!
[12:05] Chris
    What do you think?
[12:07] Miracle
    Chris...
[12:09] Miracle
    This song is really, really, the best!
[12:14] Chris
    Th-Thank you.
[12:17] Miracle
    I'm amazed you were able
    to make such a good song
[12:20] Miracle
    in such a short amount of time, Chris!
[12:22] Miracle
    I can't wait to sing it on stage!
[12:26] Chris
    Miracle...
[12:29] Chris
    Remember what Niska said?
[12:31] Chris
    That maybe becoming like someone
    wouldn't really help them?
[12:36] Miracle
    Yeah.
[12:37] Chris
    If I really want to know someone,
[12:40] Chris
    I need to take an honest look at myself.
[12:44] Chris
    Because no matter how deep
    the darkness is inside,
[12:47] Chris
    it's the only place to find the answer.
[12:49] Chris
    That's what I thought when I wrote this.
[12:53] Chris
    You're the person I wanted to help, Miracle!
[12:59] Miracle
    Yeah.
[13:04] Chris
    I still don't know if
    this is who I really am.
[13:07] Chris
    But I've found my seil.
[13:11] Miracle
    Yeah!
[13:14] Miracle
    Okay, let's practice a whole bunch today!
[13:21] Jua
    PathTLive is great!
[13:25] Jua
    Look, look at this Thea!

[13:35] Jua
    Thea, are you listening?
[13:37] Jua
    You're ignoring me? Totally ignoring me?
[13:39] Jua
    Hey!
[13:41] Jua
    No shutting me out!
[13:46] Thea
    Stop.
[13:48] Jua
    You finally talked!
[13:49] Thea
    And I already saw that stream.
[13:52] Jua
    Don't say that!

[16:05] Miracle
    Thank you.
[16:07] Miracle
    I feel a lot better thanks to you.
[16:12] Chris
    I want to thank Niska, too.
[16:14] Niska
    What was that about me?
[16:17] Chris
    Niska.
[16:19] Miracle
    What are you doing here?
[16:21] Niska
    I wanted to tell you in person
    that your collab was wonderful.
[16:26] Niska
    Chris, I didn't think you'd grow
    so much in just a few days.
[16:32] Niska
    Your song was wonderful.
[16:34] Chris
    It's thanks to you that
    I was able to make it.
[16:37] Chris
    Thank you.
[16:38] Niska
    I didn't do anything.
[16:40] Niska
    You're the one who found the
    possibilities inside you.
[16:45] Niska
    Anyway, you've got talent as a songwriter.
[16:49] Niska
    I hope you get the chance
    to improve that talent.
[16:54] Chris
    Thank you.
[16:55] Niska
    You were wonderful too, Miracle.
[16:58] Niska
    I'm always surprised by the way
    you seem like a whole new person
[17:03] Niska
    each time you do a concert.
[17:07] Miracle
    Aw...
[17:09] Niska
    You practiced your dancing
    a whole lot, right?
[17:12] Niska
    You joined with the music and
    expressed it through your movements...
[17:16] Niska
    And became the music itself.
[17:19] Niska
    I feel like what I saw was real dancing.
[17:23] Miracle

[02:38] Riz
    Hey.
[02:39] Noelle
    This might be the first time
    you've called me to talk.
[02:42] Noelle
    What's up?
[02:44] Riz
    I'm working on a song,
    and I wanted your take.
[02:47] Noelle
    For school?
[02:49] Riz
    I figured I could use it once
    I had somebody to collab with.
[02:52] Noelle
    You're working hard, huh?
[02:53] Riz
    So are you, right?
[02:56] Noelle
    Not as much as you.
[02:58] Riz
    You sure?
[02:59] Noelle
    I'm surprised. I figured you'd
    do this stuff on your own.
[03:04] Riz
    Maybe I changed a little too after meeting
    Miracle and the rest of you guys.
[03:08] Noelle
    I see.
[03:11] Riz
    Here goes.
[03:18] Riz
    Well?
[03:19] Noelle
    Well, the melody is certainly
    memorable. What else?
[03:23] Noelle
    Hm, how about a key change
    before the chorus?
[03:27] Noelle
    For you, it'd probably be easy.
[03:30] Noelle
    Did I say something weird?
[03:32] Riz
    No, I was just thinking
    I was right to ask you.
[03:36] Noelle
    I see.
[03:37] Noelle
    I'm glad I was able to help.
[03:43] Noelle
    What?
[03:44] Riz
    Nothing.
[03:45] Riz
    It's really easy to tell what's
    going through your head.
[03:47] Noelle
    It is?
[03:49] Riz
    Right now, you're feeling kind of run down.
[03:52] Riz
    You've been like that a lot lately.
[03:56] Riz
    Remember when we all saw that BRT5 concert?
[03:59] Riz
    I've been worried about you ever since then.
[04:02] Noelle
    You've got a sharp eye, huh?
[04:04] Riz
    I wasn't sure if I should bring it up,
    but I decided I had to say something.
[04:08] Noelle
    I see.
[04:12] Noelle
    Quan...
[04:14] Riz
    Quan?
[04:17] Noelle
    When I saw Quan's concert,
    I realized that I had to change.
[04:23] Noelle
    Quan's eyes were shining.
[04:24] Noelle
    Her gaze was locked straight onto
    her future as a virtual artist.
[04:29] Noelle
    Right now... I can't be like that.
[04:34] Noelle
    I'm feeling really stressed out.
[04:37] Riz
    I guess even you feel stressed, huh?
[04:39] Noelle
    Of course I do!
[04:42] Riz
    You know, you're usually act way
    more mature than a teenager.
[04:45] Noelle
    Huh?! I'm 16, you know.
[04:48] Noelle
    No different than the rest of you.
[04:52] Riz
    Of course.
[04:53] Noelle
    I only got fourth place.
[04:56] Riz
    Fourth place is really good.
[04:57] Riz
    Is it that big a deal?
[04:59] Noelle
    To me, it is.
[05:01] Riz
    Why is the ranking such a big deal to you?
[05:04] Noelle
    Because...
[05:06] Noelle
    Um...
[05:08] Riz
    Sheesh.
[05:11] Riz
    Noelle, you busy after this?
[05:14] Riz
    No, if you are, cancel it.
[05:17] Riz
    There's somewhere I want to take you.
[05:20] Riz
    You could use a change of pace, right?
[05:21] Riz
    Come on, stand up.
[05:23] Riz
    Noelle, bring out Vanity. Hurry.
[05:26] Riz
    Let's go.
[05:27] Noelle
    Huh? O-Okay.
[05:37] Noelle
    What is this place?!
[05:39] Riz
    A virtual footbath. Feels great, huh?
[05:42] Riz
    It uses noise and head conduction to make
    your brain think you're soaking in a bath.
[05:47] Riz
    And the visual effect is
    important too, right?
[05:49] Noelle
    I see. But why?
[05:52] Riz
    'Cause your face always
    looks like that recently!
[05:56] Noelle
    It does not!
[05:58] Riz
    Well, it sure did!
[06:00] Riz
    And I figured if you came here,
    it might help melt away some of that stress.
[06:10] Noelle
    This place is nice.
[06:13] Riz
    I'm happy to hear you say that.
[06:16] Riz
    It was apparently really hard to get
    the details of the re-creation right.
[06:20] Noelle
    Re-creation?
[06:22] Riz
    This space is made to look exactly
    like the Japanese inn my parents run.
[06:29] Noelle
    Your parents?!
[06:31] Riz
    Took you long enough.
[06:32] Riz
    Our inn's been around for
    190 years. It's really old.
[06:36] Riz
    Isn't that amazing?
[06:38] Noelle
    190 years?
[06:40] Noelle
    That is amazing!
[06:41] Riz
    Thanks.
[06:43] Riz
    Some people say we're behind
    the times and need to change.
[06:48] Riz
    But whenever that happens,
    someone from our family
[06:51] Riz
    has always worked to protect it,
    generation after generation.
[06:55] Riz
    Repairing each and every pillar.
[06:57] Riz
    Taking the best care we can
    of every single customer.
[07:00] Riz
    All those years of effort
    connect us to the past.
[07:08] Riz
    When I come here, I can always ask myself...
[07:10] Riz
    Am I really doing my best with
    everything I've got in front of me?
[07:16] Riz
    So whenever I'm feeling down,
     I come here to get my spirits back up.
[07:20] Riz
    "Whenever you see somebody working hard,
    you start to feel like you can work hard, too!"
[07:24] Riz
    That's what my grandma always said.
[07:27] Riz
    You kind of remind me of myself, Noelle.
[07:33] Riz
    So I wondered if maybe we
    grew up in similar environments.
[07:37] Riz
    It felt like you grew up surrounded by people
[07:40] Riz
    who were always working
    as hard as they could.
[07:42] Riz
    And so you felt like you always needed
    to be working harder yourself.
[07:47] Riz
    Always looking up at someone
    you thought was better than you.
[07:50] Riz
    That's because you know how hard
    it is to win their respect, right?
[07:55] Riz
    Noelle, the anxiety you're
    feeling is important.
[08:03] Riz
    But for now, let's relax.
[08:16] Niska
    I'm sorry for being so selfish back there.
[08:20] Niska
    It wasn't like me.
[08:21] Miracle
    It did surprise me a little.
[08:24] Miracle
    But was it true? That you want me to um...
[08:27] Niska
    I didn't mean to say it like that, though.
[08:32] Niska
    I've been thinking of you a lot lately.
[08:35] Niska
    And each time I learn more about you,
[08:37] Niska
    I feel like I don't want to
    let anybody else have you.
[08:39] Niska
    Watch out!
[08:46] Niska
    You need somebody to look out for you.
[08:49] Niska
    Maybe that's why.
[08:51] Miracle
    I-It's your fault, Niska!
    For saying weird stuff!
[08:55] Niska
    I didn't say anything weird.
[08:57] Niska
    I meant just what I said.
[08:58] Miracle
    Well, you said it in a weird way!
[09:00] Niska
    Did I?
[09:02] Miracle
    And anyway... why me?
[09:05] Niska
    I'm not sure.
[09:07] Niska
    You're unpredictable.
    You have something I don't.
[09:12] Niska
    And I find that attractive.
[09:14] Niska
    I can't say exactly what
    that is yet, though.
[09:16] Niska
    But it’s something I'll never have...
[09:24] Miracle
    It's the same as I saw before...
[09:27] Miracle
    I feel a kind of loneliness from Niska.
[09:33] Miracle
    Did I say that aloud?
[09:36] Niska
    Yeah.
[09:36] Niska
    Um, well...
[09:38] Niska
    When I saw the avatar you
    designed, it was really cool,
[09:42] Niska
    but it looked kind of sad, somehow...
[09:44] Niska
    But I found the way it was standing
    there all alone so compelling...
[09:48] Niska
    And so I remembered that, and I guess
    I said what I was thinking aloud!
[09:53] Niska
    You really are amazing, Miracle.
[09:55] Niska
    Maybe that's why.
[10:02] Niska
    Miracle, I don't want to
    take back what I said.
[10:06] Niska
    Am I not good enough?
[10:11] Riz
    What a great bath.
[10:13] Riz
    Please come back sometime.
[10:15] Noelle
    Yeah.
[10:17] Noelle
    You're not going to ask anything?
[10:19] Riz
    I've heard the best thing to
    do at times like this is wait.
[10:23] Noelle
    Is that something your
    grandma told you, too?
[10:25] Riz
    Maybe so.
[10:29] Noelle
    Will you listen to my story?
[10:35] Noelle
    My family are all virtual artists.
[10:38] Noelle
    My sister, my father, my mother:
    they're all really talented.
[10:41] Noelle
    Much more so than me.
[10:45] Noelle
    Just like you said, I think
    I need to work harder...
[10:49] Noelle
    But thinking about my family just makes
    me feel like I'm not good enough.
[10:54] Riz
    Yeah, you can't help but compare
    yourself to your family.
[10:58] Noelle
    I've always felt like I had to be perfect.
[11:02] Noelle
    When Miracle said I didn't,
    I felt so much better.
[11:08] Noelle
    I thought I was finally over it.
[11:12] Noelle
    But when the reality that
    I only placed fourth sunk in...
[11:16] Noelle
    I realized I was wrong.
[11:18] Noelle
    The thought that my family might
    see my failure... made me scared.
[11:24] Noelle
    I haven't been able to change at all.
[11:28] Noelle
    I feel so pathetic... and I hate it!
[11:33] Noelle
    I think about my family so much that
    I don't know how to face the music...
[11:38] Noelle
    I can't do it like I did before.
[11:43] Noelle
    Like Quan can.
[11:55] Riz
    My grandma told me that when
    you really can't do something,
[11:58] Riz
    you don't even know what it is you can't do.
[12:01] Riz
    If you know the reason you’re suffering,
    that means you've grown up, right?
[12:07] Riz
    So what you’re having problems
     with right now isn’t your ranking.
[12:14] Riz
    It's your family, right?
[12:17] Riz
    You have to overcome that, or you'll
    be stuck where you are forever.
[12:22] Noelle
    But what do I do?
[12:25] Riz
    Hm...
[12:29] Riz
    Why not make a performance that you
    want to reach just your family?
[12:35] Noelle
    Just my family?
[12:37] Riz
    Yes. A performance that touches
    everyone is a wonderful thing!
[12:41] Riz
    But isn't it amazing to have a performance
    that only reaches one person, too?
[12:46] Noelle
    I've never even thought about it.
[12:49] Riz
    Songs have that kind of power.
[12:52] Riz
    You of all people should know that, Noelle.
[13:06] Noelle
    The people I want to reach...
[13:11] Noelle
    I want them to see who I am now,
    so that I can like myself.
[13:20] Noelle
    It's done!
[13:28] Noelle
    Yeah, sounds good.
[13:30] Riz
    It conveys your feelings really well!
[13:33] Noelle
    Really?
[13:34] Noelle
    The only thought in my head
    when I wrote this song
[13:37] Noelle
    was that I wanted these
    feelings to reach my family.
[13:39] Noelle
    And then the words just came naturally.
[13:42] Noelle
    I was able to express my true feelings.
[13:45] Noelle
    I feel like this song saved me...
[13:48] Noelle
    That's never happened before.
[13:50] Noelle
    Maybe it's not a song for
    everybody, but I like it.
[13:54] Riz
    When's the performance?
[13:55] Noelle
    In two days.
[13:57] Noelle
    I sent tickets to the stream to my family.
[14:00] Noelle
    I don't know if they'll listen, but...
[14:02] Riz
    If you sing, I'm sure it'll be fine.
[14:05] Riz
    Come on, have some confidence!
[14:08] Noelle
    Yeah. Thanks.
[14:22] Noelle
    Everyone, thank you for
    coming to my performance.
[14:28] Noelle
    This song I'm about to
    sing is a special one!
[14:34] Noelle
    Actually, I've been unsure of how to
    face my music as a virtual artist.
[14:42] Noelle
    I was so obsessed with my
    Linker count and ranking at school
[14:46] Noelle
    that I lost sight of myself.
[14:49] Noelle
    And then my friend encouraged me,
     and I realized something.
[14:53] Noelle
    I was wrong to try and seek
    validation through numbers.
[14:58] Noelle
    I'd been looking away from what
    I truly needed to overcome.
[15:04] Noelle
    This song is for my family.
[15:08] Noelle
    I offer this song to the people I care about,
    who I need to overcome.
[15:14] Noelle
    This is who I am right now!
[15:17] Noelle
    I'm still inexperienced,
    so maybe it's not perfect.
[15:19] Noelle
    But I like who I am now a whole lot,
     and I like this song, too.
[15:25] Noelle
    I hope my feelings reach you!
[17:03] Ada
    Wonderful.
[17:05] Ada
    I knew it.
[17:07] Ada
    Only when each individual
    shines their brightest
[17:09] Ada
    can they help each become even better.
[17:11] Ada
    What makes each of them unique
    is going to become even better.
[17:23] Noelle
    My sister...
[17:27] Noelle
    Yes, this is Noelle.
[17:29] Sister
    Noelle? It's me.
[17:31] Sister
    Thanks for the invitation to your concert.
[17:34] Sister
    I saw it.
[17:35] Noelle
    So you saw it... Thanks!
[17:38] Sister
    Come home, right now!
[17:42] Sister
    Mom and Dad want to see you right away.
[17:45] Sister
    We're waiting.
[17:52] Noelle
    It'll be okay.
[17:57] Noelle
    It'll be okay.
[18:04] Noelle
    I'm home.
[18:05] Mom
    Noelle! It's been so long.
[18:08] Noelle
    Yes, Mother. It has.
[18:10] Noelle
    I see everyone is doing well.
[18:13] Mom
    How's school?
[18:15] Dad
    Come on, we can talk about that later.
[18:17] Mom
    That's right!
[18:19] Mom
    It's been so long I forgot myself.
[18:21] Mom
    Come over here.
[18:27] Noelle
    U-Um, I...
[18:30] Sister
    Noelle, your concert was great!
[18:33] Sister
    It was wonderful, really!
[18:36] Sister
    The lyrics in it really resonated with me.
[18:40] Sister
    You've found your own song, haven't you?
[18:42] Noelle
    Well...
[18:45] Mom
    You're really working hard, huh Noelle?
[18:47] Mom
    I could tell from your performance.
[18:51] Mom
    I'm so proud!
[18:53] Noelle
    I was so scared.
[18:55] Noelle
    I couldn't get the results I wanted.
[18:58] Noelle
    I hated myself so much
     for not being perfect.
[19:04] Dad
    You seemed just fine to me.
[19:06] Dad
    You've always faced yourself.
[19:09] Dad
    You overcome your problems
    without running away.
[19:12] Dad
    You're an amazing artist.
[19:14] Noelle
    Yeah...
[19:17] Noelle
    Yeah.
[19:21] Students
    Noelle's concert was amazing!
[19:24] Quan
    Noelle's an even better artist than before.
[19:28] Quan
    I need to practice more.
[19:31] Students
    No way!
[19:32] Students
    I can't believe it!
[21:09] Students
    Those two were an incredible pair, right?
[21:12] Students
    I can't believe how well that worked!

[00:04] Riz
    Noelle's always so confident,
    but lately she's been acting weird.
[00:09] Riz
    So I tried taking her somewhere
    for a change of pace.
[00:11] (Flashback) N
    What is this place?!
[00:13] (Flashback) Riz
    A virtual footbath.
[00:14] Riz
    I took her to my family's home!
[00:16] (Flashback) Riz
    When I come here, I can always ask myself...
[00:18] (Flashback) Riz
    Am I really doing my best with
    everything I've got in front of me?
[00:24] Riz
    After I told her about myself,
[00:26] Riz
    Noelle started telling
    me about herself, too.
[00:29] (Flashback) N
    I think about my family so much that
    I don't know how to face the music...
[00:35] Riz
    So I gave her a little encouragement.
[00:38] (Flashback) Riz
    Isn't it amazing to have a performance
    that only reaches one person, too?
[00:43] (Flashback) N
    This is who I am right now!
[00:45] (Flashback) N
    I hope my feelings reach you!
[00:48] Riz
    Okay! I'm gonna make a great
    song and do a collab, too!

[02:40] Ellie
    Well, there's a pair I never saw coming.
[02:42] Halle
    A combination between a great artist,
    and one who's not-so-great!
[02:47] Sarah
    What a ridiculous thing to do.
[02:51] Sarah
    Niska left. It doesn't
    matter what she does now.
[02:53] Sarah
    Our goal doesn't change.
[02:56] Quan
    By goal, you mean entering the VGAs?
[03:00] Sarah
    It's not something that simple.
[03:03] Ellie
    Yes, our goal is...
[03:05] Jessie
    To be the top virtual artists!
[03:08] Hallie
    And that means winning the Lapin d'Or!
[03:14] Quan
    Yeah, maybe they can...
    Maybe BRT5 are capable of winning.
[03:19] Quan
    So why...
[03:21] Quan
    Why did Niska leave BRT5?
[03:24] Hallie
    Niska said she wanted to be both a
    virtual artist and a virtual designer.
[03:30] Hallie
    But Jessie insisted that
    she focus just on BRT5.
[03:34] Jessie
    Of course I did.
[03:35] Jessie
    This is an important time for BRT5.
[03:38] Jessie
    She can be a designer later.
[03:40] Sarah
    That's right. We're not the
    top artists in the world yet.
[03:44] Sarah
    We're just getting started, and she...
[03:46] Ellie
    I don't really think you can
    have BRT5 without Niska...
[03:50] Sarah
    BRT5 will reach the top,
    with or without Niska!
[03:53] Quan
    True, every artist longs
    to win the Lapin d'Or.
[03:59] Quan
    But do I want to go that far?
[04:01] Hallie
    What's wrong, Quan?
[04:03] Hallie
    You're freezing up again.
[04:06] Jessie
    You didn't join up just 'cause you
    weren't busy when we asked, right?
[04:09] Sarah
    I don't know what was going through
    your head when you joined.
[04:13] Sarah
    But we're not here to babysit you.
[04:16] Sarah
    If you can't keep up, we don't need you.
[04:20] Quan
    I decided I'd follow this path
    no matter how hard it got.
[04:23] Quan
    Until it connects to PathTLive!
[04:26] Quan
    I'm going to surpass all of you!
[04:30] Hallie
    Ooh, listen to you!
[04:32] Hallie
    I've got high hopes for you!
[04:34] Ellie
    Want to get some practice
    in right now, then?
[04:36] Ellie
    Sarah, where are you going?
[04:39] Sarah
    I'm not here to be friends with people.
[04:42] Sarah
    Just try not to slow me down.
[04:45] Sarah
    I don't care who else is in our unit
    as long as they can get us to the top.

    Today's game is "Banana Tag - ADEN Version!"
[06:54] Miracle
    Banana Tag?
[06:56] XR Student
    That's right.
[06:56] XR Student
    Freeze tag is more well-known,
[06:59] XR Student
    but the rules are the same.
[07:02] XR Student
    The person who's "it" counts to ten.
[07:05] XR Student
    Then they'll run chasing people,
    and if they touch you,
[07:07] XR Student
    you turn into a banana instead of freezing.
[07:10] XR Student
    This is a virtual space, so you really
    do get turned into a banana.
[07:15] XR Student
    The others can peel a banana while
    running away from the one who's "it."
[07:20] XR Student
    If you peel someone, they can turn back
    into a person and rejoin the game.
[07:25] XR Student
    But you can only turn back once!
[07:27] XR Student
    You've got quite an experience
    waiting in store for you,
[07:30] XR Student
    but try your best to survive until the end!

[07:58] All
    Yeah!

[08:03] XR Student
    See you again when it's over.
[08:06] XR Student
    If you survive, that is!
[08:10] Jua
    Oh, "it" is a Vanity.

    It's coming after me first!
[08:47] Miracle
    You won't catch me that easily!

    When I was a kid, I learned how to use
[08:56] Miracle
    every piece of playground
    equipment they had!
[08:57] Miracle
    They called me the Playground Master!

    Underestimate me, and you'll get hurt!

[09:03] Halle
    That's neat, though!

    Sorry! Sorry!
[09:22] Jua
    I'll come help you later!
[09:24] Thea
    I don't feel so good.
[09:26] Jua
    That's from playing video games
     all day instead of exercising.
[09:28] Jua
    It wasn't even spinning that fast.
[09:31] Thea
    I just suck with anything that's analog...
[09:35] Jua
    Nah, this is easy!
[09:40] Halle
    That Vanity's pretty fast for how big it is.
[09:44] Sarah
    It's going to be a battle of endurance.
[09:45] XR Students
    You're all hanging in there, huh?
[09:48] XR Students
    But it's no fun if you just
    hide for the whole game, right?
[09:51] XR Students
    So we're adding in a mission!
[09:54] XR Students
    If you can't pop that balloon in five minutes,
    you'll have three more Vanitys to deal with!
[09:58] XR Students
    Better come out of those hiding spots, huh?
[10:01] Miracle
    I don't think we could handle three more!
[10:04] Miracle
    Nobody's moving.
[10:05] Miracle
    Jua, what do we do?
[10:07] Jua
    We've gotta try, right?
[10:08] Jua
    Miracle, I'll distract it!
    You pop the balloon!
[10:12] Miracle
    Sounds like a plan!
[10:12] Thea
    Wait! Are you gonna run out there without a plan?
[10:15] Sarah
    That's so reckless.
[10:23] Jua
    Miracle!
[10:36] Jua
    Those two have a personality that
    lets them do whatever they want!
[10:39] Thea
    They just blindly rushed out there.
[10:43] Miracle/Jua
    We did it!
[10:48] Jua
    Zoe, thank you!
[10:50] Sarah
    Zoe...
[10:54] XR Students
    You guys are hanging in there
    better than I thought.
[10:56] XR Students
    So we're gonna put some obstacles in!
[10:59] XR Students
    These mini Support Vanitys want to play too,
    so let them join in the game!
[11:04] XR Students
    Anybody who's mean enough to step on them
    will turn into a banana, so be careful!
[11:09] Miracle
    I feel like I'm going to step
    on one even if I don't want to!
[11:11] Halle
    I can barely move like this!
[11:13] XR Students
    Ten minutes left!
[11:15] XR Students
    How many will survive?
[11:26] Sarah
    This is how it was back then.
[11:29] Sarah
    Zoe never cared about anybody else,
[11:32] Sarah
    but she was always the center of attention.
[11:34] Sarah
    People always gathered around her.
[11:39] Sarah
    Why?
[11:46] Zoe
    What are you doing?
[11:50] Zoe
    Don't you want to play?

    What's wrong?
[11:57] Sarah
    Nothing.
[11:59] Zoe
    I see.

    I don't want to let Zoe beat me.
[12:07] Thea
    Three minutes left!
[12:09] Miracle
    I-I'm out of energy...
[12:13] Zoe
    Where's Sarah?
[12:14] Jua
    I haven't seen her for a while,
    now that you mention it.
[12:17] Halle
    Did she get caught, you think?
[12:19] Miracle
    Let's look for her!
[12:25] Sarah
    Until I got to elementary school,
    nobody could beat me at anything.
[12:30] Sarah
    But when I moved and met Zoe...
[12:34] Sarah
    She made me realize how weak I was.
[12:37] Sarah
    Why couldn't I win?
[12:39] Sarah
    What was the difference?
[12:40] Sarah
    Skill? Talent?
[12:43] Sarah
    How could I beat her?
[12:45] Sarah
    All I ever thought about was beating her.
[12:49] Sarah
    I thought beating her was all that mattered.
[12:53] Sarah
    But...
[12:55] Halle
    There she is!
[12:58] Sarah
    The game's almost over.
    You don't need to help me.
[13:01] Halle
    Don't worry!
[13:02] Halle
    We'll help you!
[13:04] Miracle
    One minute left!
[13:06] Jua
    Miracle, let's just run as fast as we can!
[13:08] Thea
    Jua, it won't work a second time.
[13:10] Jua
    With all of us here, it'll work out somehow!
[13:12] Halle
    Zoe!
[13:15] Jua
    Now!
[13:20] Zoe
    What are you even doing?
[13:28] (Flashback) Zoe
    I can't beat you at Hide and Seek, can I?
[13:43] XR Students
    Time's up!
[13:45] Zoe
    You're still better at Hide and Seek, huh?
[13:49] Sarah
    Shut up!

    Do you know each other?
[13:54] Zoe
    We've been apart for a while.
    But we're friends.
[13:59] Sarah
    Why did you help me?
[14:01] Zoe
    Because it's boring without you.
[14:04] Zoe
    They're the same.
[14:06] Sarah
    What are you doing here?
[14:08] Halle
    Of course we're going to help you!
[14:09] Miracle
    We're rivals after the same thing,
    but we're also comrades, right?
[14:14] Jua
    Anything we do is fun
    as long as we do it together, right?
[14:18] Sarah
    What?
[14:20] Sarah
    I feel kind of weird...

    Why don't you do a concert
    to celebrate your win?
[14:46] Jua
    We can do a collab competition!
[14:48] Halle
    A collab, huh?
[14:49] Miracle
    That sounds great!
[14:52] Sarah
    Zoe, would you like to do a collab with me?
[14:54] Jua
    Zoe, do a collab with me!
[14:57] Miracle
    What about me?
[14:59] Sarah
    Why are you talking to Zoe?
[15:01] Jua
    Because I had fun playing the game with her!
[15:05] Jua
    What about you?
[15:06] Jua
    You were talking about how you
    didn't want to let her beat you.
[15:08] Jua
    I thought you didn't like her.
[15:11] Halle
    Sarah's the type to say she doesn't
    like someone, even when she does.
[15:15] Halle
    When she said she didn't
    want to let Zoe beat her,
[15:18] Halle
    what she actually meant was that she likes
    her and wants to play the game together!
[15:21] Halle
    Isn't that cute?
[15:23] Sarah
    Don't be ridiculous!
[15:24] Sarah
    That's not what I said!
[15:26] Sarah
    I don't care who I'm paired with!
[15:28] Sarah
    Fine, I'll just pair off with this girl!
[15:31] Miracle
    Aw, I didn't know you wanted
    to do a collab with me!
[15:34] Sarah
    I grabbed the wrong girl, obviously!
[15:36] Sarah
    Why would I want to work with
    the most useless girl here?
[15:39] Miracle
    Useless?
[15:41] Jua
    Then it's settled!
[15:42] Jua
    It's okay, right Zoe?
[15:44] Zoe
    Sure, I guess.
[15:46] Sarah
    W-Wait!
[15:48] Thea
    I'm not going to do this.
[15:50] Jua
    Then the two of us can just watch it, Thea!
[15:53] Jua
    Okay?
[15:53] XR Students
    Have fun!
[19:07] XR Students
    The winner of our collab competition is...
[19:10] XR Students
    the team of Zoe and Jua!
[19:14] Sarah
    My body felt... light somehow.
[19:17] Sarah
    Maybe I'd forgotten what it meant to just
    give something my all and have fun.
[19:21] Sarah
    All I ever thought about was beating Zoe...
[19:23] Sarah
    I wasn't thinking about anything else.
[19:26] Sarah
    This place, this virtual space,
    is connected by many lines.
[19:32] Sarah
    And all those lines form a path that
    connects to where I want to go.
[19:37] Zoe
    I think you're monologuing
    to yourself right now...
[19:40] Zoe
    But you're a banana.
[19:44] Zoe
    I made sure to save the photo.
[19:47] Jua
    Glad it worked out for you,
    Sarah! You look great!
[19:50] Miracle
    She looks better than me!
[19:51] Halle
    She's so cute! I'll take a photo, too!
[19:54] Sarah
    Zoe, delete that right now!
[19:57] Zoe
    No.
[19:57] Jua
    Why? You look cute!
[19:58] Halle
    I'm making it my wallpaper!
[20:00] Sarah
    Don't you dare! Delete that immediately!
[20:02] Jua
    You make a great banana!
[20:03] Sarah
    Give me that!

    ADEN's culture festival,
    "Cheer Up," has begun!
[00:07] Miracle
    Jua, Thea, Zoe, plus Sarah and
    Halle from BRT-5 were there.
[00:11] Miracle
    We all played banana tag!
[00:13] Miracle
    Things were kind of awkward
    between Sarah and Zoe at first.
[00:18] Miracle
    But I'm glad they ended it with a smile!
[00:20] Miracle
    And after the game, we had a collab battle!
[00:22] Miracle
    It was Sarah and me versus Zoe and Jua!
[00:26] Miracle
    The winners were...
[00:28] Miracle
    Zoe and Jua!

    Of course! It's for the students to
    cheer on the winners of the ADEN Seed,
[02:22] Miracle
    and for the winners to get cheered up!
[02:24] Miracle
    And I'm one of the ones who gets cheered up!

    Come on, I'm not scary!
[02:55] Miracle
    Aw, Chris.
[02:57] Miracle
    Calm down...
[02:58] Sofia
    I guess she really doesn't like me.
[03:03] Sofia
    I'll give up for today.
[03:05] Miracle
    Sorry, I guess.
[03:07] Miracle
    Bye!
[03:08] Sofia
    Yeah, see you around.
[03:13] Sofia
    Guess I got turned down.
[03:16] Sofia
    Well, that just makes it more
    fun to do my calculations.
[03:24] Miracle
    You okay, Chris?
[03:27] Riz
    It's rare for Chris to
    react to anyone like that.
[03:30] Riz
    Sofia's the only girl she
    reacts to like that.

[04:02] XR Student
    They each have a different number of cards.
[04:04] XR Student
    And on Expert, the cards get
    shuffled each time it's your turn!
[04:08] Miracle
    If they get shuffled every time,
    you'll never be able to win!
[04:12] XR Student
    You can, actually.
[04:14] Chris
    What do the special cards do?
[04:16] XR Student
    If you get a pair, you can

    That's right.

    Too bad.
[05:46] Riz
    You're being too pushy.
[05:48] Riz
    Well, whatever.
[05:50] Riz
    Let's get to it.
[05:51] Riz
    Which will you pick?
[05:52] Riz
    I'm fine with "Expert."
[05:54] Sofia
    Gotcha.
[05:58] Computer
    Decide who will go first.
[06:01] Sofia
    Let's pick with rock-paper-scissors.
[06:04] Sofia
    Rock, paper, scissors!
[06:07] Noelle
    You can do this, Riz!
[06:11] Computer
    Sofia's turn.
[06:13] Sofia
    Great.
[06:14] Sofia

[07:33] Noelle
    Aww!
[07:35] Noelle
    This is too hard!
[07:38] XR Student
    Well, they did choose "Expert."

    This one!
[08:04] Sofia
    I was wrong!
[08:08] Computer

[08:30] XR Student
    No way!
[08:40] Girls
    Hey, who are you rooting for?
[08:43] Girls
    I'm rooting for Riz!
[08:44] Girls
    I'm definitely rooting for Sofia!
[08:47] Miracle
    Everybody's talking about them!
[08:52] Chris
    Let's watch.
[08:53] Noelle
    But...
[08:55] Chris
    Let's just do it.
[08:56] Computer
    Sofia's turn.
[09:03] Computer
    Riz's turn.
[09:06] Sofia
    Hey, if I win, will you do a collab with me?
[09:11] Riz
    Sure.
[09:12] Riz
    If you win.
[09:19] Sofia
    Hey, you figured it out, huh?
[09:22] Sofia
    The algorithm for the
    random number generation.
[09:25] Riz
    Yeah, I guess.
[09:31] XR Student
    Amazing.
[09:33] XR Student
    People have played Expert before,
    but nobody's ever made a pair!
[09:41] Miracle
    Random... what?
[09:44] Chris
    The random number generation algorithm.
[09:46] Chris
    A program that makes things random.
[09:49] Miracle
    Huh...
[09:50] Miracle
    And how does that help Riz win?
[09:53] Chris
    I don't know.
[09:57] Miracle
    I've got it!
[09:59] Miracle
    Intuition!
[10:00] Chris
    Intuition?
[10:00] Miracle
    Yup!
[10:02] Miracle
    I'm sending thought waves to
    make Riz's intuition sharper!
[10:06] Computer
    Riz's turn.
[10:13] Noelle
    Go, Riz!
[10:21] Miracle
    My thought waves worked!
[10:24] Chris
    Riz's intuition is super sharp.
[10:30] Miracle
    There it is!
[10:40] Computer
    Sofia's turn.
[10:44] Sofia
    Okay, all according to my calculations.
[10:47] Sofia
    Now it's time to get started.
[10:55] Noelle
    What's going on here?
[11:11] Sofia
    Time to keep it up!
[11:19] Riz
    Why?

[11:26] Sofia
    And the last one is...
[11:28] Sofia
    There, right Principal?
[11:34] Computer

[12:16] Sofia
    You okay?
[12:17] Riz
    Why wouldn't I be?
[12:19] Sofia
    It was fun, huh?
[12:20] Sofia
    My chemical reaction with you
    was, well, okay I guess.
[12:25] Sofia
    By the way, you remember
    your promise, right?
[12:29] Riz
    Fine.
[14:04] XR Student
    Wow, that was amazing.
[14:06] XR Student
    I'm even more of a fan now!
[14:12] XR Student
    You're so smart, Sofia!
    You figured out the algorithm!
[14:16] Sofia
    It was pretty fun.
[14:18] Sofia
    Bye.
[14:22] Riz
    I got some rare data.
[14:25] Riz
    What's wrong?
[14:28] Noelle
    Come with me for a bit.
[14:34] Riz
    What's wrong?
[14:45] Riz
    What was that for?
[14:46] Noelle
    Where's yours?!
[14:48] Riz
    Why?
[14:49] Noelle
    Just think of it as vocal practice!
[14:52] Riz
    What's gotten into you?
[14:53] Noelle
    It's not good to let negative
    feelings build up inside you.
[14:57] Riz
    I'm not...
[15:00] Noelle
    That battle really frustrated me.
[15:04] Noelle
    What about you?
[15:06] Riz
    Frustrated you?
[15:08] Riz
    What do you mean?
[15:13] Noelle
    You didn't feel anything
    when you played Sofia?
[15:17] Riz
    Hm...
[15:21] Riz
    There was a feeling that my whole body was
    going tense and I couldn't move like I wanted to.
[15:26] Riz
    And I think my body got hot, too.
[15:29] Riz
    But it wasn't like when
    I was doing my performance.
[15:34] Riz
    And for some reason,
    I didn't want to look at Sofia.
[15:39] Riz
    Yeah, and there was this feeling
    like I was falling into an abyss!
[15:44] Riz
    Isn't that amazing?
[15:45] Noelle
    Then you really were frustrated!
[15:48] Riz
    I... was?
[15:50] Noelle
    That's right.
[15:51] Noelle
    You felt really jealous of them,
[15:53] Noelle
    or felt really pathetic all of a sudden,
    like you wanted to run away...
[15:56] Noelle
    But you didn't know what to do!
[16:00] Noelle
    That's how I was before you talked to me.
[16:03] Riz
    Really?
[16:04] Noelle
    You don't believe me?
[16:05] Noelle
    I'm a pro at this.
[16:07] Riz
    A pro?
[16:09] Riz
    But oh...
[16:11] Riz
    So that's what this is. Huh.
[16:16] Riz
    Ever since I was little,
    people have told me I'm weird.
[16:22] Riz
    Only my family treated me normally.
[16:25] Riz
    But that didn't bother me.
[16:28] Riz
    It was helpful that I could figure out how
    things worked just by looking at them.
[16:32] Riz
    And I could do anything I put my mind to.
[16:35] Riz
    So I've never been frustrated at anything.
[16:40] Noelle
    I see.
[16:48] Riz
    I'm so frustrated!
[16:54] Noelle
    That's the spirit!
[16:55] Riz
    Next time, I'll win for sure!
[16:58] Noelle
    Yeah, just like that!
[17:01] Riz
    I feel better.
[17:03] Noelle
    Right?
[17:06] Noelle
    Looks like there was data hidden within
    you that even you didn't know about.
[17:12] Riz
    Yeah.
[17:13] Riz
    It feels kind of strange.
[17:15] Riz
    I've never let anybody see me like this.
[17:19] Noelle
    What's wrong with that?
[17:21] Noelle
    You've seen a lot of me at my worst, too.
[17:27] Riz
    Yeah.
[17:28] Riz
    I've seen a lot of the things you
    wouldn't want people to see.
[17:31] Noelle
    Hey, you don't have to put it like that!
[17:39] Noelle
    It hurts to admit you're frustrated.
[17:43] Noelle
    But it's a chance to think
    about who you really are.
[17:48] Noelle
    I see it as a chance to improve my skills.
[17:53] Riz
    Yeah.
[17:54] Noelle
    We get inspired by a lot
    of different artists,
[17:57] Noelle
    we help each other to improve,
[17:59] Noelle
    and get better and better.
[18:01] Noelle
    Once we're at our bests,
    I'm sure we'll be amazing!
[18:05] Riz
    Yeah.
[18:07] Noelle
    I'll always be there if something happens.
[18:09] Noelle
    Just trust in me and don't
    worry about a thing!
[18:14] Riz
    You're a pro, after all.
[18:16] Noelle
    Enough about that!
[18:19] Riz
    I'm just getting started.
[18:22] Riz
    Yeah...
[18:23] Riz
    I think I really am!

    There's no time for that.
[07:55] Ximena
    Don't say that. Let's just go!
[07:57] Jessie
    Wait!
[08:01] Ximena
    Relax and give some virtual

[08:07] Jessie
    That painting...
[08:09] Jessie
    I think that wolf is Niska herself.
[08:14] Ximena
    Niska?
[08:15] Ximena
    The one who used to be in BRT5?!
[08:18] Jessie
    I still see her as a member, though.
[08:21] Ximena
    I see.
[08:23] Jessie
    BRT5 got its start with Ellie, Sarah and me.
[08:26] Jessie
    We called ourselves BRT3 back then.
[08:29] Jessie
    Then Halle and Niska joined
    and we became BRT5.
[08:34] Jessie
    Halle was an amazing artist,
    but Niska was special.
[08:38] Jessie
    When she became our leader,
    we started getting so much better.
[08:43] Jessie
    Her songs and her dances were both amazing.
[08:45] Jessie
    She was incredible to watch, not just
    for the audience, but for us as well.
[08:52] Jessie
    With Niska in the unit, BRT5 could
    become the greatest in the world.
[08:57] Jessie
    We all believed that, for real.
[09:00] Jessie
    But that day, Niska...
[09:04] (Flashback) Jessie
    What?
[09:06] (Flashback) Niska
    From now on, I want to be the
    person I've decided to be.
[09:10] (Flashback) Jessie
    I refuse to accept this.
[09:11] (Flashback) Jessie
    You can't leave BRT5!
[09:13] (Flashback) Jessie
    Or do the bonds between
    us mean nothing to you?
[09:17] (Flashback) Niska
    Listen to me. I...
[09:20] (Flashback) Jessie
    I'll... never forgive you for this!
[09:24] (Flashback) Niska
    Jessie...
[09:26] (Flashback) Jessie
    I want BRT5 to be the only thing you love.
[09:33] Jessie
    Niska could never give up on
    her dream of being a designer.
[09:39] Jessie
    So she left BRT5.
[09:41] Jessie
    She chose to leave a flock of
    sheep and become a lone wolf.
[09:45] Jessie
    She betrayed us... without even
    thinking about how I would feel!
[09:51] Ximena
    Did you tell her that?
[09:55] Ximena
    The way you feel, I mean.
[09:57] Jessie
    I couldn't tell her that!
[09:58] Jessie
    If she found out, I'd be
    so embarrassed I'd die!
[10:02] Ximena
    So do you plan to live the rest
    of your life without telling her?
[10:08] Ximena
    Don't you think you'll regret that?
[10:12] Ximena
    If it were me, I'd handle things better.
[10:16] Jessie
    I'm not like you.
[10:19] Ximena
    I think I've figured it out.
[10:21] Jessie
    Figured what out?
[10:22] Ximena
    It's not Niska.
[10:24] Ximena
    The one who's really
    lonely... is you, Jessie.
[10:27] Jessie
    You could never understand how I feel!
[10:29] Ximena
    Sure I could.
[10:30] Ximena
    Because I'm the same.
[10:33] Ximena
    I'm lonely, too.
[10:35] Jessie
    I don't believe that!
[10:36] Ximena
    We're the same, but we're opposites.
[10:39] Jessie
    What do you mean?
[10:40] Ximena
    I've never wanted to form
    a strong, deep connection.
[10:44] Ximena
    I mean, it'd hurt if that person
    ever betrayed you, right?
[10:48] Ximena
    But I'm scared to be alone...
[10:52] Ximena
    So I've always surrounded
    myself with a crowd.
[10:54] Ximena
    Surrounded by people who praise me.
[10:57] Ximena
    Without ever trying to have a strong,
    deep connection with anyone.
[11:02] Jessie
    Is there someone you really
    want to connect with?
[11:06] Jessie
    Yeah.
[11:08] Jessie
    So I want to invite them in a way
    that means they can't refuse.
[11:11] Jessie
    But I can't come up with a
    good idea for how to do that.
[11:15] Jessie
    Unbelievable!
[11:17] Jessie
    I'm out of virtual fish food!
[11:19] Jessie
    Didn't you just tell me you could
    solve my problems better than me?
[11:23] Jessie
    Sounds like you're a mess, too.
[11:25] Ximena
    See?
[11:26] Ximena
    So we are the same.
[11:29] Jessie
    Maybe we are!
[11:33] Ximena
    Hey, want to try it?
[11:34] Jessie
    Try what?
[11:36] Ximena
    A collab performance between
    people who are the same,
[11:40] Ximena
    but carry opposite kinds of loneliness!
[11:42] Ximena
    It may work out better than you think!
[11:45] Jessie
    Yeah, you're right.
[11:47] Ximena
    Really?
[11:48] Jessie
    But if you're going to do a collab with me,
[11:52] Jessie
    then it better not be a crappy performance!

    So come... to the place we both remember!
[14:30] Jessie
    What are you doing here?
[14:32] Ximena
    I'm going to watch and make
    sure you're able to tell her.
[14:35] Jessie
    I'm not a kid!
[14:37] Jessie
    Niska!
[14:39] Niska
    I was just thinking that
    I had to talk to you, too.
[14:42] Niska
    Tell me how you're feeling right now.
[14:47] Ximena
    It's okay! Relax!
[14:50] Jessie
    I saw your painting.
[14:53] Niska
    I see.
[14:54] Jessie
    A wolf and sheep, loneliness and comrades...
[14:57] Jessie
    When I saw that painting,
    I thought of the wolf... of you...
[15:01] Jessie
    To be honest, I thought you both felt sad.
[15:04] Jessie
    Because you couldn't be with your comrades.
[15:06] Jessie
    But now...
[15:09] Niska
    Has that changed?
[15:10] Jessie
    You're noble. And beautiful.
[15:14] Jessie
    Like that wolf. That's what I think.
[15:18] Jessie
    I'll be honest!
[15:20] Jessie
    That day, I tried to stop you because...
[15:23] Jessie
    If BRT5 disbanded,
    if I couldn't sing anymore...
[15:31] Niska
    Tell me.
[15:34] Jessie
    Then no one would pay
    attention to me at all.
[15:38] Jessie
    And that scared me...
[15:43] Jessie
    "Why doesn't Niska understand how I feel?"
[15:48] Jessie
    "Why won't she listen to me?"
[15:52] Jessie
    That's what I was thinking.
[15:56] Niska
    Yeah.
[15:58] Jessie
    I got so scared when you left.
[16:02] Jessie
    I couldn't help myself.
[16:04] Niska
    Yeah.
[16:06] Jessie
    If only you'd stayed, I wouldn't
    have had to suffer like that...
[16:11] Jessie
    That's why I told myself
    I could never forgive you.
[16:16] Niska
    I see.
[16:18] Jessie
    But the person I'm really angry at is myself,
[16:21] Jessie
    for being so petty that I couldn't
    understand how you felt.
[16:27] Jessie
    To be honest, I still want you
    to quit being a designer.
[16:31] Jessie
    But that's not just because I want BRT5
    to be the greatest unit in the world.
[16:36] Jessie
    It's because I want to do
    more concerts with you!
[16:39] Jessie
    Because I loved the time I spent
    doing performances with you!
[16:43] Jessie
    I want to perform with you!
[16:50] Niska
    Jessie...
[16:53] Ximena
    Unbelievable!
[16:56] Ximena
    Bravo!
[16:57] Jessie
    Quiet...
[16:59] Niska
    The way I see it...
[17:01] Niska
    The sheep with their flock are happy,
[17:04] Niska
    but sometimes I want to be a lonely wolf.
[17:07] Niska
    The way I see it...
[17:09] Niska
    Only when you're alone can you
    find the time to truly improve.
[17:15] Jessie
    Yeah.
[17:16] Niska
    The way I see it...
[17:17] Niska
    Comrades and loneliness
    are light and darkness.
[17:20] Niska
    Only because there is darkness can you
    realize how wonderful the light really is.
[17:25] Jessie
    Niska...
[17:26] Niska
    And the way I see it...
[17:29] Niska
    The way you fought your fear
[17:31] Niska
    and tried to accept the ideas of
    someone who felt differently from you
[17:35] Niska
    makes you very beautiful.
[17:38] Jessie
    Th-That's...
[17:40] Jessie
    something I realized when
    I did my collab with Ximena.
[17:42] Jessie
    Her performance showed me a new world.
[17:48] Jessie
    I wondered if maybe you were trying to forge
    a path to a new world on your own, Niska.
[17:54] Jessie
    That you weren't obsessed with
    a single place, like I was.
[17:58] Jessie
    That you were trying to keep going forward.
[18:01] Jessie
    She helped me realize that.
[18:04] Niska
    I see.
[18:05] Jessie
    Yeah.
[18:06] Jessie
    I feel a lot better now.
[18:08] Niska
    Yes, I feel wonderful, too.
[18:11] Jessie
    Hey, Niska...
[18:15] Jessie
    I'm sorry.
[18:17] Niska
    So am I.
[18:19] Niska
    I'm sorry.
[18:21] Ximena
    I have to do my best, too!

[20:34] Noelle
    Appearing? She's not a wild monkey!
[20:39] Riz
    The first sighting was at the ADEN

    And here's another sighting from the
    ADEN Cultural Festival, "Cheer Up!"
[21:02] Miracle
    Who are these people?
[21:03] Riz
    These girls posted online
    that they "ran into Quan,"
[21:08] Riz

[21:18] Riz
    The virtual design exhibition
    at the Culture Festival.
[21:21] Riz
    I have information that she was sighted
    looking at a painting of a wolf here.
[21:25] Miracle
    A painting of a wolf?
[21:27] Miracle
    What could that be?
[21:28] Noelle
    For the moment, she seems to just
    be enjoying the culture festival...
[21:32] Riz
    That's not true at all!
[21:34] Riz

[21:36] Miracle

[21:49] Miracle
    Where is this place?
[21:51] Riz
    I don't really know myself,

[21:57] Riz
    And we're done!
[21:59] Miracle
    We didn't get to see Quan even once!
[22:03] Noelle
    Yeah, I wonder what she's up to!
[22:06] Miracle
    I'm sure she's working her best
    to level up as an artist!
[22:10] Riz
    Yup, yup, yup!

    Lesson 1!
[22:40] Ximena
    I'm walking my dog and I happen to

    Right now we're about to begin
    the main event of the VGAs,
[00:06] Jessie
    where we form units and compete
    to do the best performance.
[00:11] Jessie
    The choice of who to partner with is a
    critical one that will affect your whole future.
[00:16] Jessie
    It's a problem that you have to think
    about, and think about seriously.
[00:20] Jessie
    And for that, you have to understand

[02:14] Noelle
    So this is the Butterfly Fire
    they do at the closing party?
[02:18] Riz
    Yeah.
[02:19] Riz
    Look. You drop the data you used
    from Cheer Up and don't need
[02:22] Riz
    any more onto the wings of
    these virtual butterflies.
[02:25] Noelle
    Yes, you gather it all in one
    place and delete it, right?
[02:29] Riz
    Yeah.
[02:30] Riz
    It's like an offering bonfire, huh?
[02:33] Noelle
    You don't understand what
    she means at all, do you?
[02:38] Miracle
    An offering of rice made
    with veggies and fish?
[02:40] Chris
    Nope.
[02:42] Miracle
    Guess I was wrong!
[02:44] Chris
    An offering bonfire is when you burn
    things like religious talismans,
[02:47] Chris
    or things that you have a
    strong emotional bond to,
[02:49] Chris
    to purify them and offer them to the gods.
[02:52] Miracle
    I feel a lot smarter hearing that!
[02:55] Noelle
    That's where that rumor came from, right?
[02:57] Miracle
    Rumor?
[02:58] Noelle
    The one that says if you write a wish
    down and delete it, it will come true.
[03:02] Riz
    They also say it can solve whatever
    worries are on your mind, right?
[03:09] Noelle
    Miracle...
[03:10] Miracle
    No, I totally understood that one!
[03:14] Riz
    Quit it with the comedy routine!
[03:16] Chris
    Want to do it?
[03:18] Miracle
    Let's do it!
[03:21] Noelle
    There's only one thing we could
    wish for right now, right?
[03:25] Noelle
    That we win at the VGA main event.
[03:30] Riz
    Of course. That we win with
    an amazing performance!
[03:33] Chris
    I want to win as PathTLive.
[03:36] Chris
    What?
[03:37] Riz
    You just come right out and say it.
[03:40] Riz
    That's one of the good
    things about you, Chris.
[03:43] Noelle
    Yeah.
[03:46] Miracle
    My wish is...
[03:48] Miracle
    This and... this...
[03:53] Miracle
    A-And that, too!
[03:55] Miracle
    N-No, maybe this!
[03:58] Noelle
    Wait, do you get to write more than one?
[04:01] Noelle
    Aren't you supposed to just write one?
[04:04] Miracle
    Do you have to write just one?
[04:07] Riz
    There's always one kid who makes a bunch
    of wishes at Tanabata and stuff, right?
[04:11] Noelle
    Oh, yeah.
[04:12] Miracle
    What do I do? If I can only have one...
[04:15] Jua
    What, you haven't written yours yet?
[04:18] Miracle
    Jua!
[04:19] Jua
    And Thea, too!
[04:20] Thea
    Don't make it sound like
    I'm just your hanger-on.
[04:22] Jua
    And our butterfly!
[04:26] Riz
    "Our"? I only see one.
[04:28] Jua
    You're so sharp!
[04:29] Jua
    That's right!
[04:30] Jua
    The two of us share a butterfly!
    'cause we're best friends!
[04:34] Jua
    Right?
[04:35] Thea
    Most girls who say they're
    best friends, actually aren't.
[04:39] Jua
    Sure, but who was it who
    wrote it together with me?
[04:43] Jua
    It was her!
[04:45] Noelle
    Those two are friends, but in a weird way.
[04:50] Miracle
    One butterfly, huh?
[04:59] Jessie
    It's beautiful.
[05:01] Niska
    Aren't you going to write anything, Jessie?
[05:03] Jessie
    No.
[05:04] Jessie
    I've already dropped all my
    feelings onto you, Niska!
[05:16] Niska
    Did you know that they say the
    butterfly that flies highest
[05:21] Niska
    has the strongest wish attached to it?
[05:24] Jessie
    What? It's just data, right?
[05:27] Niska
    Yes. Just data.
[05:31] Niska
    Everything you see here is just data.
[05:36] Niska
    But...
[05:37] Niska
    We put so much of our hearts into it.
[05:41] Niska
    Into this world...
[05:52] (Flashback) Jessie
    You're nowhere near as good as Niska.
[05:54] (Flashback) Jessie
    You'll never be a replacement for her.
[05:57] Quan
    I've tried to do my best, as best I could.
[06:00] Quan
    But inside of me, there's nothing at all...
[06:04] Quan
    I don't have any feelings to put
    into this butterfly, not a single one...
[06:22] Miracle
    It's not working!
[06:23] Miracle
    I can't narrow them down to one!
[06:25] Miracle
    I ended up with like a dozen!
[06:28] Noelle
    Wait, are you going to send up all of these?
[06:30] Riz
    The Butterfly Fire will be nothing
    but Miracle's butterflies.
[06:37] Chris
    This is Miracle's heart...
[06:39] Jua
    Just pick something, why don't you?
[06:42] Thea
    You're out of time.
[06:43] Miracle
    Oh crap, oh crap!
[06:45] Miracle
    I'll go sit by myself for a while
    and come up with something!
[06:50] Noelle
    She's acting weird.
[06:51] Chris
    Yeah. This isn't like her.
[06:54] Riz
    Yeah.
[06:55] Miracle
    Miracle never lets anything
    really get her down.
[06:59] Riz
    And does she realize...
[07:01] Riz
    It's not the butterflies she's
    running out of time with,
[07:04] Riz
    but the main event?
[07:09] Noelle
    What's she going to do with Quan?
[07:11] Jua
    I don't quite know what's going on,
[07:13] Jua
    but that stuff with PathTLive and Quan
    is all messed up in her head, I bet.
[07:18] Jua
    She sure is a handful!
[07:21] Thea
    Your head's more of a mess than
    anybody else's, isn't it?
[07:25] Miracle
    PathTLive, Quan...
[07:27] Miracle
    PathTLive, Quan...
[07:30] Miracle
    Quan...
[07:34] Miracle

[09:05] [SONG] Song
    I connect with you
[09:22] AI
    Looks like something's bugging you!
[09:25] AI
    But you know, you have connections
    that are yours alone!
[09:31] Miracle
    Mine alone...
[09:33] Miracle
    Yeah, you're right.
[09:35] Miracle
    I had them. I was connected with Quan...
[09:39] Miracle
    But that connection was... well... broken.
[09:44] Miracle
    It made me so sad... but like you said,
[09:48] Miracle
    I have connections that are mine alone...
[09:52] Miracle
    So I'm sure Quan has connections
    that are hers alone, too.
[09:58] Miracle
    Even if our connection is gone,
    she's still connected to someone else.
[10:04] Miracle
    And I don't want to ruin that.
[10:07] AI
    I see.
[10:09] AI
    Right now, you're a chrysalis.
[10:11] Miracle
    A chrysalis?
[10:12] AI
    Yeah.
[10:13] AI
    Just like this world!
[10:18] AI
    A chrysalis is covered by a hard shell,
    but inside, it's a big mushy mess!
[10:23] AI
    It's dissolved and mixed up
    everything it used to be,
[10:26] AI
    and it's trying to decide what to be next.
[10:30] AI
    Don't you think it's the same as this world?
[10:33] AI
    Soft, and capable of becoming anything!
[10:37] AI
    That's the virtual world!
[10:41] AI
    But it can't be soft and
    squishy forever, right?
[10:47] AI
    You can't stay in your shell forever, right?
[10:52] AI
    At some point, you'll have to go outside.
[10:55] AI
    And when that happens,
[10:56] AI
    you have to decide what form you'll take,
     and then break out of your shell.
[11:00] AI
    Or you won't be able to
    go to the next world.
[11:04] Miracle
    I'm a chrysalis?
[11:09] Miracle
    What's inside me... the next me...
[11:18] Miracle
    Is all this what's inside me?

    Oh, no... You saw it...
[12:19] Miracle
    Um, Quan... Let's...
[12:26] Miracle
    Let's do a collab together!
[12:33] Miracle
    Why?
[12:35] Quan
    Because I'm not doing anything right.
[12:39] Quan
    I need to get better at doing performances.
[12:42] Quan
    I need to do better at everything!
[12:45] Quan
    And being in BRT5 is the
    best way to do that!
[12:50] Quan
    If I'm a part of that team, I can be a virtual
    artist that doesn't cause trouble for anybody.
[12:56] Quan
    So...
[12:57] Quan
    I'm sorry.
[12:59] Quan
    I'm going.
[13:03] Miracle
    No!
[13:05] Miracle
    Don't go, Quan!
[13:07] Miracle
    Look at me, Quan!
[13:17] Miracle
    Yes, BRT5's performances are amazing!
[13:21] Miracle
    But... But then...
[13:27] Miracle
    I'll show you something that's
    way, way, way cooler than BRT5!
[13:39] Miracle
    Now I understand...
[13:41] Miracle
    I want to perform with Quan.
[13:44] Miracle
    I want to be a part of
    PathTLive with everyone.
[13:47] Miracle
    It's not enough for me to be the
    only person who thinks that.
[13:51] Miracle
    I need to be someone that Quan...
    and everybody else...
[13:54] Miracle
    can't take their eyes off for a moment!
[13:58] Miracle
    It's time to go... to fly...
[14:01] Miracle
    To the next world!
[14:23] Niska
    Whose feelings are those?
SIGN    Miracle, I made a song.
[14:29] Chris
    Miracle, I made a song.
SIGN    Miracle, I made a song.
SIGN    I took the words you wrote on the
    butterflies and turned them into a song...
[14:32] Chris
    I took the words you wrote on the
    butterflies and turned them into a song.
[14:37] Chris
    A song just for you.
[14:40] Miracle
    Chris!
[16:18] Quan
    She's so dazzling...
[16:20] Quan
    I don't want to run from her light!
[16:32] Quan
    Miracle's butterfly?
[16:49] Quan
    Um...
[16:50] Halle
    What is it?
[16:51] Halle
    Why are you so out of breath?
[16:54] Quan
    Um, I...
[16:56] Niska
    Hey.
[16:57] Ellie
    Niska...
[16:58] Sarah
    And Jessie, too.
[17:00] Niska
    Can I say something before Quan speaks?
[17:07] Niska
    I want you to let me join BRT5 again.
[17:17] Niska
    How about it?
[17:20] Ellie
    The answer is...
[17:22] Sarah
    Yes, of course!
[17:30] Niska
    Sorry to interrupt.
[17:32] Niska
    So, what will you do?
[17:36] Halle
    Of course, you're part of BRT5 right?
[17:39] Halle
    Oh, I guess since it's six
    of us, we're BRT6 now!
[17:42] Ellie
    Halle!
[17:43] Quan
    Um, I'm sorry.
[17:45] Jessie
    You don't need to apologize.
[17:48] Jessie
    Just come out and say it.
[17:52] Quan
    I'm quitting BRT5!
[17:58] Auris
    Now, it's time for the fifteen contestants of
    the VGA main event to announce their units.
[18:09] Miracle
    We're entering the main event as PathTLive!
[18:21] Ellie
    We're BRT5!
[18:30] Auris
    And the other students...
[18:33] Miracle
    Are they also forming a five-person unit?
[18:36] Jua
    Hey, there! We're forming a unit!
[18:42] Riz
    Well, they did seem like good friends.
[18:46] Jua
    We're VICONIC! Nice to meetcha!
[18:52] Sofia
    I know...
[18:59] Sofia
    That the three of us can win for sure.
[19:02] Sofia
    I guarantee it!
[19:05] Sofia
    Zoe, Ximena, Sofia.
[19:07] Sofia
    The three of us are 3DM8!
[19:16] Quan
    Did she just invite them now?
[19:18] Noelle
    Looks like it.
[19:20] Miracle
    I-It's that easy?!
[19:23] Riz
    They're nothing like us,
    after all the problems we had.
[19:25] Quan
    S-Sorry...
[19:27] Miracle
    Hey, Riz!
[19:31] Auris
    PathTLive, BRT5, VICONIC, 3DM8...
[19:38] Auris
    You all have your units.
[19:41] Auris
    Now, we will begin the main event unit
    battle of the Virtual Grid Awards ADEN Seed!

    I'm Ada.

[21:42] Ada
    Do I need to introduce myself?
SIGN    ...Of course,

[21:48] SIGN
    but can you do it just in case?
[21:49] Ada
    Very well.
[21:51] Ada
    Hmm... I'm afraid the way I spoke
    just now was extremely arrogant.
[21:56] Ada
    The world is a big place, and there's
    more than one world, anyway.
[21:59] Ada
    I see myself as someone whose performances
    are watched in more worlds than most,
[22:05] Ada
    so if most people haven't heard
    of me, then that's unfortunate,
[22:10] Ada
    but also unavoidable.
[22:14] Ada
    I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
SIGN    Oh, I'd asked you to introduce yourself.
[22:18] SIGN
    Oh, I'd asked you to introduce yourself.
[22:21] Ada
    That's right.
[22:22] Ada
    An introduction is a chance
    for you to get to know one another.
[22:26] Ada
    I'm sure you're all aware of how important
    it is to "get off on the right foot."
[22:31] Ada
    But have you ever given any thought
    to what that phrase really means?
[22:36] Ada
    For example, take the phrase
    "All's well that ends well."
[22:42] Ada
    This is said to come from a play
    by the famous William Shakespeare,
[22:46] Ada
    and there are countless similar,
    but slightly different phrases
[22:50] Ada
    that each have their own
    distinct meanings...
[22:56] Ada
    I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

[00:02] Miracle
    I was upset about what was
    happening with Quan when...
[00:05] (Flashback) AI
    And when that happens,
[00:06] (Flashback) AI
    you have to decide what
    form you'll take next,
[00:08] (Flashback) AI
    and then break out of your shell.
[00:09] Miracle
    With a little help from AI-chan,
    I worked up the courage to go see Quan.
[00:13] (Flashback) Miracle
    I'll show you something that's
    way, way, way cooler than BRT5!
[00:20] Miracle
    And then Chris made me a new song.
SIGN    Miracle, I made a song.
[00:25] Miracle
    And Quan came back to PathTLive.
[00:29] Miracle
    And the main event unit battles
    finally started, too!
[00:32] Miracle
    I'll do my best to get first place,
     so watch me, okay?

    Shoes of Friendship
[02:07] Auris
    I will now announce the
    order for the performances
[02:12] Auris
    in the Virtual Grid Awards
    ADEN seed main event.
[02:19] Auris
    The first unit will be VICONIC,
    featuring Jua and Thea.
[02:27] Jua
    Let's make sure their eyes
    are all locked on us!
[02:31] Thea
    Jua, be quiet.
[02:34] Auris
    And the next unit will be 3DM8,
    starring Sofia, Zoe, and Ximena.
[02:47] Miracle
    Are we... last?
[02:50] Auris
    The third unit will be Noelle, Chris,
    Riz, Quan, and Miracle, with PathTLive!
[02:59] Miracle
    O-Okay!
[03:08] Chris
    Don't worry about it.
[03:12] Auris
    And the fourth unit will be BRT5:
    Niska, Jessie, Ellie, Sarah, and Halle.
[03:24] Auris
    I've chosen this order so that each unit
    is able to perform in top condition.
[03:31] Auris
    VICONIC will do their performance
    one week from now.
[03:34] Auris
    After that, one unit will perform each day.
[03:38] Auris
    I'm expecting a wonderful
    performance from all of you.
[03:44] Jua
    I can't wait!
[03:46] Jua
    Hey, we could even do our
    song right now, couldn't we?
[03:50] Thea
    Even if we did,
    we wouldn't get a score for it.
SIGN    Well, we can call it a warm up!
[03:53] Miracle
    Those two aren't nervous at all!
SIGN    We can't just stand here!
[03:59] Noelle
    We need to come up with an
    idea for our performance.
[04:01] Noelle
    Who has a suggestion?
[04:04] Chris
    I do.
[04:06] Chris
    I want to write a song.
[04:07] Chris
    The perfect song for all five of us.
[04:10] Miracle
    That's great!
[04:12] Riz
    Chris will make us a song, huh?
[04:15] Noelle
    I can't wait!
[04:17] Chris
    There's not a lot of time before we perform.
[04:19] Chris
    Can you help me, Riz?
[04:21] Riz
    Of course.
[04:23] Noelle
    So the rest of us will plan the
    choreography and formation, then!
[04:27] Quan
    I'll do my best!
[04:28] Miracle
    Let's come up with the
    best choreography ever!
[04:36] Quan
    Um...
[04:37] Noelle
    Quan,
[04:39] Noelle
    you have extremely pretty skin!
[04:45] Noelle
    What's your usual routine?
[04:47] Quan
    I use a face wash, I guess...
[04:50] Noelle
    That's all to get skin like this?!
[04:52] Noelle
    I can't believe it!
[04:54] Noelle
    Tell me all the secrets to beautiful skin!
[04:57] Quan
    Miracle, help!
[04:59] Miracle
    I feel bad for Quan, but I've never
    seen Noelle this excited.
[05:06] Noelle
    I wish we'd met sooner.
[05:10] Quan
    Yeah...
[05:11] Miracle
    I know!
[05:13] Miracle
    What do you two think
    about VICONIC and 3DM8?
[05:17] Quan
    3DM8 teamed up pretty easily considering
     they'd never done a collab together before.
[05:22] Noelle
    Yeah.
[05:23] Noelle
    I can't even imagine what kind
    of performance they'll do.
[05:27] Noelle
    But there's a reason Sofia chose Zoe
    and Ximena. They're both top talents.
[05:32] Miracle
    And VICONIC?
[05:33] Quan
    The two of them were good
    friends to begin with, right?
[05:38] Noelle
    Jua and Thea. They're both great
    performers, and good friends.
[05:42] Noelle
    I expect their performance to be the
    one where they're the most balanced.
[05:47] Noelle
    We need to be just as good.
[05:50] Jua
    What, did you call us?
[05:52] Miracle
    Jua? What are you doing here?
[05:55] Jua
    What else?
[05:59] Jua
    We came to hang out!
[06:02] Jua
    We're taking a vacation!
[06:06] Jua
    Roar!
[06:07] Jua
    Hey, you know any hot spots?
[06:12] Noelle
    You're really here sightseeing,
    and not to scout us out?
[06:16] Jua
    That's what I said, isn't it?
[06:20] Jua
    Uh-oh, gotta go!
[06:22] Miracle
    You already know where you're going?
[06:24] Noelle
    What was the point of asking us, then?
[06:26] Jua
    See you later, Miracle and friends!
[06:31] Noelle
    Why do you think they came here?
[06:33] Miracle
    I don't know...
[06:40] Maids
    Okay! Kyun-kyun!
[06:46] Jua
    It's so cute!
[06:54] Jua
    What do you think?
[06:57] Thea
    Listen, what are we doing, exactly?
[06:59] Jua
    Getting input for our song.
[07:02] Thea
    We're just playing around.
[07:04] Jua
    It's no fun sitting in a booth making
    music with a frown on your face, right?
[07:09] Jua
    And it's fun to go out and
    do things once in a while.
[07:13] Jua
    You know what they say, right?
    "Play is how humans learn."
[07:19] Thea
    Who says that?
[07:21] Jua
    I just thought it up!
[07:25] Thea
    Listen, there's not much time
    left before the main event.
[07:28] Jua
    Sure, the main event is important.
[07:31] Jua
    But I want to be someone strong,
    undefeated by harsh training,
[07:36] Jua
    or the main event,
[07:38] Jua
    and who can enjoy herself
    to the fullest at times like this!
[07:43] Thea
    What are you—
[07:44] Jua
    Now, what outfit to try on next?
[07:52] Students
    Oh!
[07:53] Students
    I want this!
[07:54] Students
    It's expensive!
[07:55] Students
    How much?
[07:56] Students
    It's expensive!
[08:00] Students
    But maybe if I put in an extra
    shift at my job, I could buy it?
[08:15] (Flashback) Thea
    What's wrong?
[08:16] (Flashback) Jua
    There are some really cool shoes, but...
[08:20] (Flashback) Thea
    They're sold out.
[08:23] (Flashback) Jua
    Yeah.
[08:25] (Flashback) Thea
    Don't tell me you're going to
    go around looking for them?
[08:28] (Flashback) Jua
    But I've never liked shoes this much before!
[08:32] (Flashback) Jua
    And I'm sure their size and
    shape is perfect for my feet!
[08:36] (Flashback) Jua
    This has to be fate, right?
[08:39] (Flashback) Thea
    Fate or not, you can't buy
    them if they're sold out.
[08:42] (Flashback) Thea
    Come on, let's look for
    some other practice shoes.
[08:45] (Flashback) Jua
    Wait, wait, wait!
[08:47] (Flashback) Jua
    I'll try and find a place
    where they're in stock!
[08:49] (Flashback) Jua
    I want these!
[08:53] (Flashback) Thea
    It's not worth missing out on
    practice time for them, right?
[08:59] (Flashback) Jua
    I want to dance in these shoes so bad...
[09:13] (Flashback) Jua
    You're late.
[09:16] (Flashback) Thea
    Here.
[09:18] (Flashback) Jua
    What's this?
[09:20] (Flashback) Thea
    Just open it.
[09:24] (Flashback) Jua
    These are...
[09:26] (Flashback) Thea
    An early birthday present.
[09:34] (Flashback) Jua
    Thea!
[09:36] (Flashback) Jua
    Thank you!
[09:38] (Flashback) Jua
    I'll take good care of them!
[09:40] (Flashback) Thea
    I'd rather you practiced in them till the
    soles wore off and the sides were full of holes.
[09:46] (Flashback) Jua
    Of course!
[09:50] (Flashback) Jua
    Just watch.
[09:51] (Flashback) Jua
    I came up with the next performance
    I'm going to upload.
[10:26] Thea
    Jua.
[10:28] Thea
    Why don't you get a new pair of shoes?
[10:32] Jua
    Should I?
[10:33] Jua
    They still fit fine. It'll be okay.
[10:37] Jua
    And they're like a good luck charm, anyway.
[10:40] Thea
    A good luck charm?
[10:42] Jua
    The second I put these shoes on,
    my videos went viral and I got famous!
[10:46] Jua
    It was fate when I found them,
[10:49] Jua
    and now they're a good luck charm
    that helps me step up my game!
[10:54] Jua
    Well, it's all thanks to you
    for buying them for me.
[11:01] Thea
    No, it's because...
[11:07] Ellie
    BRT5 will be doing the last
    performance during the unit battle!
[11:13] Ellie
    The event will start in a week.
[11:16] Ellie
    We'll be spending that time practicing to
    give you the best show we possibly can!
[11:22] Halle
    We'll be giving you the hottest
    performance of them all!
[11:26] Halle
    Look forward to it, everyone!
[11:28] Sarah
    Of course, the ones to win first place...
[11:31] Jessie
    will be us, BRT5.
[11:34] Niska
    We hope the song we sing for
    you can reach many people...
[11:41] Ellie
    So keep on supporting BRT5!
[11:45] All
    Thanks!
[11:48] Students
    I really like Ellie from BRT5.
[11:52] Students
    She's good.
[11:54] Students
    But you know... VICONIC, was it?
[11:57] Students
    They've got a singer named Jua who just
    kind of flails around on stage, right?
[12:02] Students
    I know what you mean.
[12:03] Students
    I don't get why she has so many linkers.
[12:07] Students
    Everyone else is getting better
    with each performance.
[12:10] Students
    But she never changes.
[12:13] Students
    That's right.
[12:14] Students
    I think I could do what she does.
[12:17] Students
    You sure could.
[12:19] Thea
    Excuse me.
[12:21] Thea
    She works a lot harder than most people.
[12:23] Thea
    And her songs and choreography are
    all top-level, and unique to her.
[12:29] Thea
    If you can't understand how
    good her performances are,
[12:33] Thea
    you must be blind!
[12:35] Jua
    What are you doing?
[12:37] Thea
    We're leaving.
[12:38] Jua
    Now?!
[12:40] Thea
    Of course we are!
[12:42] Jua
    But we just got here!
[12:48] Jua
    Thea, what's wrong?
[12:50] Thea
    Nothing.
[12:57] Jua
    Thea.
[13:02] Thea
    They were saying all those things about
    you when they don't know anything.
[13:06] Thea
    It made me mad.
[13:08] Jua
    Is that all?
[13:09] Thea
    They were making fun of you!
[13:12] Jua
    That happens all the time, right?
[13:14] Jua
    You always tell me it's a waste of time
    to think about the haters, right?
[13:19] Jua
    And if they're talking about me,
    that means I'm getting some buzz.
[13:24] Jua
    That makes me happy.
[13:28] Jua
    So if it bothered you,
[13:30] Jua
    that's probably because it triggered
    something else in your heart, right?
[13:37] Jua
    Tell me, if you're up for talking about it.
[13:41] Thea
    I actually had given up a long time ago.
[13:45] Thea
    New artists keep coming out all the time,
[13:47] Thea
    and they're all competing to get
    famous and fighting for the top.
[13:52] Thea
    It was always my dream to be a virtual artist,
     but once I actually started it,
[13:56] Thea
    I realized what the reality was.
[13:58] Thea
    So no matter how many people
    said they liked my music,
[14:02] Thea
    I never got my hopes up.
[14:03] Thea
    Somewhere in my heart, I'd given up.
[14:07] Thea
    But I'm still able to be an artist...
     because I met you.
[14:13] Thea
    You keep practicing no matter what.
     You never doubt yourself.
[14:18] Thea
    Having someone like that next to me
[14:21] Thea
    made me feel like I could continue my dream.
[14:24] Thea
    That's how important you are
    to me. You're my light.
[14:31] Thea
    So it makes me angry when
    somebody insults the effort you put in,
[14:36] Thea
    no matter who they are.
[14:37] Jua
    Thea...
[14:39] Thea
    Well, our personalities are total opposites,
[14:42] Thea
    and you're always doing whatever
    you feel like at any given moment.
[14:46] Thea
    Most of what you do,
    you don't even think about,
[14:48] Thea
    and there's a lot about
    you I don't understand.
[14:50] Jua
    Huh? Am I being
    complimented or insulted here?
[14:56] Jua
    Listen...
[15:00] Jua
    I made a song for the unit battle.
[15:04] Jua
    I figured it might be fun to sing a song
    like this during our performance, but...
[15:12] Thea
    But?
[15:12] Jua
    The main event's the big show
    we've been working for, right?
[15:16] Jua
    I wasn't sure what you'd say
    if I wanted to do a song
[15:21] Jua
    that I made all by myself
    without asking you...
[15:25] Jua
    But would you at least listen to it?
[15:28] Thea
    Sure.
[15:31] Thea
    But first...
[15:33] Thea
    There's something I want to show you.
[15:37] Jua
    This is...
[15:39] Thea
    Remember when we did our
    collab performances?
[15:42] Thea
    When you were doing yours,
[15:44] Thea
    it bothered me, 'cause I felt like I should've
     been the one to be up there with you.
[15:50] Thea
    I've been with you longer than anyone.
     I know you better than anyone.
[15:54] Thea
    We've competed for so long.
[15:56] Thea
    I thought it would always be that way...
[15:58] Thea
    But it couldn't.
[16:00] Thea
    It's not that way at all anymore.
[16:06] Thea
    So...
[16:13] Thea
    This time, I want to stand on stage beside you.
     Not as a rival, but as a partner.
[16:19] Jua
    Yeah.
[16:21] Jua
    So we both really like each other!
[16:23] Thea
    Yeah, I guess.
[16:25] Jua
    Okay, time to get ready then!
[16:29] Jua
    Let's bring everyone the
    best performance we can!
SIGN    The first group was incredible!
SIGN    They were in perfect harmony!
SIGN    I loved the outfits!
[18:22] Jua
    We really are the best unit, aren't we?
[18:26] Thea
    Out of how many people?
[18:28] Jua
    Hm...
[18:30] Jua
    We're the best in the world!
[18:33] Thea
    No. We're the best in the universe.
[18:37] Jua
    Want to do a stream in space, then?
[18:47] Auris
    These are the connections I wanted to see...
[18:50] Auris
    I'm so happy I get to see
    something of this level...
[18:56] Ada
    They're too in sync.
[18:59] Ada
    If this is the first group, which sets
    the standard for all the others...
SIGN    I'm sure you'll like our performance.

[20:45] Chris
    Hello, I'm Chris.
[20:47] Jua
    And I'm Jua!
[20:48] Chris
    We're the producers for PathTLive and VICONIC,
    so we write the music and lyrics.
[20:54] Chris
    Today we're going to talk about
    our approach to making music.
[20:58] Chris
    Thank you for having us.
[21:00] Jua
    Thank you for having us!
[21:01] Chris
    So Jua, how do you usually write your songs?
[21:06] Jua
    Hm, I've usually got a hard deadline,
[21:11] Jua
    so I kind of rush it out and
    then dash off some lyrics.
[21:15] Chris
    Rush and dash?
[21:18] Jua
    Yup.
[21:18] Jua
    What about you?
[21:19] Chris
    I usually rush and dash, too.
[21:24] Jua
    You rush?
[21:26] Chris
    And dash.
[21:28] Jua
    Are the two of us...
[21:30] Chris
    We're alike.
[21:31] Jua
    I knew it!
[21:32] Jua
    From the minute I laid eyes on you,
    I knew we'd get along!
[21:36] Chris
    We're two peas in a pod!
[21:38] Jua
    A pod! Oh wow, we're in a pod!
[21:41] Jua
    So, what kind of music do you like, Chris?
[21:45] Chris
    You mean, genre-wise?
[21:46] Jua
    Yeah.
[21:46] Jua
    Rock, or hip-hop. Or classical.
[21:50] Chris
    Heavy metal, lately.
[21:52] Jua
    Heavy metal.
[21:54] Chris
    Yes.
[21:55] Jua
    Chris...
[21:57] Jua
    Me, too!
[21:59] Jua
    We really are alike!
[22:02] Chris
    We're in a pod.
[22:03] Jua
    Okay, okay...
[22:05] Jua
    What's your favorite animal?
[22:06] Chris
    Naked mole rat.
[22:08] Jua
    Same!
[22:09] Jua
    Favorite fruit?
[22:11] Chris
    Rambutan.
[22:11] Jua
    Wow! Mine, too!
[22:13] Jua
    What's going on here? We're not
    peas in a pod, we're soul twins!
[22:17] Chris
    Perhaps we are.
[22:18] Jua
    Okay... Okay...
[22:20] Jua
    Your favorite sea animal is a
    deep sea spider, right?
[22:24] Chris
    No. Blotchy swell shark.
[22:24] Sign
    Blotchy swell shark
[22:26] Chris
    Blotchy swell shark.
[22:26] Sign
    Blotchy swell shark
[22:28] Jua
    Blotchy swell shark?
[22:30] Chris
    Yes.
[22:31] Jua
    Well, we can't be the exact same, right?
[22:34] Jua
    But your favorite Japanese monster
    is the Suikazura, right?
[22:37] Chris
    Tankororin
[22:37] Chris
    No, the Tankororin.
[22:38] Jua
    The Tankororin?
[22:39] Chris
    Tankororin
[22:39] Chris
    The Tankororin.
[22:42] Jua
    I see. I see.
[22:44] Jua
    But um... Japanese monsters and sea creatures
[22:46] Jua
    are all kind of the same anyway, right?
[22:50] Chris
    Yeah?
[22:51] Jua
    Wait, wait.
[22:52] Jua
    I'm sure you'll like this next thing.
[22:56] Chris
    Yeah.
[22:57] Jua
    Favorite plant: Jabuticaba!
[23:00] Chris
    Sunflower
[23:00] Chris
    No, sunflower.
[23:01] Jua
    Sunflower?!
[23:03] Chris
    Sunflower.
[23:04] Jua
    Naked mole rat. Rambutan.
    Blotchy swell shark.
[23:08] Jua
    And now sunflower?!
[23:09] Chris
    Yeah.
[23:10] Jua
    Why is that the only popular
    thing on the list?
[23:13] Jua
    A choice like an elementary
    school girl would make...
[23:16] Jua
    That doesn't make sense!
[23:17] Jua
    Your choices don't make sense!
[23:20] Jua
    Wait, wait...
[23:22] Jua
    I just don't know anymore.
[23:25] Chris
    I did learn one thing.
[23:27] Jua
    What?
[23:28] Chris
    We're not alike at all, huh?
[23:32] Chris
    See you next week. Bye-bye.

[00:02] Miracle
    The order of performances for the
    ADEN Seed has been announced!
[00:07] Auris
    The first unit will be VICONIC,
    featuring Jua and Thea.
[00:14] Miracle
    They were the first to perform,
    but they didn't seem fazed at all!
[00:17] Miracle
    They even went on a little vacation!
[00:20] Miracle
    How can they be so relaxed?!
[00:24] (Flashback) Jua
    I made a song for the unit battle.
[00:27] (Flashback) Thea
    But first, there's something
    I want to show you.
[00:30] (Flashback) Thea
    This time, I want to stand on stage beside you.
     Not as a rival, but as a partner.
[00:36] (Flashback) Jua
    Yeah.
[00:41] Miracle
    VICONIC's performance was amazing!
[00:44] Miracle
    I couldn't take my eyes off them!
[00:48] (Flashback) Auris
    These are the connections I wanted to see...
[02:22] Sign
    We, the Unknown
[02:22] Sign
    We, the Unknown
[02:26] Sofia
    It's looking good.
[02:28] Sofia
    This will work!
SIGN    How's it looking?
SIGN    Looking good. Give me a little more time.
SIGN    Roger!
SIGN    I'm on my way.
[02:38] Ximena
    Hello, Sofia!
[02:42] Ximena
    What's wrong?
[02:46] Ximena
    Sofia? Hello?
[02:49] Sofia
    Boo!
[02:53] Sofia
    Sorry, sorry.
[02:55] Ximena
    Unbelievable! Two Sofias?
[02:59] Sofia
    This is a copy of my avatar.
[03:03] Ximena
    Don't scare me like that.
[03:06] Ximena
    So, you're here to talk
    about our unit, right?
[03:09] Sofia
    I'm working on the music and
    choreography right now.
[03:11] Sofia
    I need a little more time.
[03:14] Sofia
    Practice with my copy until I'm finished.
[03:17] Ximena
    What?
[03:18] Sofia
    My calculations show that this should
    be the best way to practice.
[03:23] Ximena
    Well, you've thought it through, right?
[03:27] Sofia
    Sure have.
[03:28] Ximena
    So, was inviting me and Zoe to be
    in your unit part of your plan?
[03:33] Sofia
    It's just like I said then.
[03:36] (Flashback) Sofia
    The three of us will make the perfect unit.
[03:41] Ximena
    The perfect unit...
[03:43] Sofia
    That's right.
[03:45] Sofia
    Anyway, practice hard.
[03:46] Ximena
    Um... I wanted to form a
    unit with you and Zoe, too.
[03:53] Ximena
    So when you invited me, I was really happy.
[03:57] Sofia
    So we both feel the same
    way about each other!
[04:00] Ximena
    That's right!
[04:02] Sofia
    Okay, bye.
[04:10] Ximena
    I was able to say how I felt too, Jessie.
[04:13] Ximena
    Wow! I forgot about the copy.
[04:16] Ximena
    Wait, does this mean that
    Zoe's got her own copy, too?
[04:22] Ximena
    Maybe I'll go see what she's up to.
SIGN    Yeah.
SIGN    Give me a little more time.
SIGN    Yeah.
SIGN    I'm on my way.
[04:38] Sofia
    Huh?
[04:42] Ximena
    She's doing the same thing here, too.
[04:44] Sofia
    That didn't scare you?
[04:46] Zoe
    I was curious what you were
    doing hiding behind your copy.
[04:50] Sofia
    You saw through it, huh?
[04:51] Ximena
    Wow! She scared me silly!
[04:54] Sofia
    You two really are different.
[04:58] Sofia
    Zoe, I want you to practice with
    my copy until I finish working
[05:01] Sofia
    on the music and choreography.
[05:04] Zoe
    With your copy?
[05:07] Sofia
    My calculations show that as 3DM8's
    frontman, you're the key to victory.
[05:14] Sofia
    Of course, we can't do it
    without you too, Ximena.
[05:18] Sofia
    So I want you both to be
     totally ready to go
[05:21] Sofia
    by the time I'm finished
    making the perfect song.
[05:24] Sofia
    The perfect performance and the
    perfect performers...
[05:27] Sofia
    When these two link, it should create
    the ultimate chemical reaction.
[05:33] Sofia
    The look in your eyes...
[05:34] Sofia
    It tells me I was right to form 3DM8.
[05:39] Sofia
    Okay, now get to work.
[05:42] Ximena
    I can't figure Sofia out.
[05:45] Ximena
    She's the type to follow her own path, huh?
[05:47] Zoe
    This is well made.
[05:50] Zoe
    What?
[05:51] Ximena
    Nothing.
[05:53] Ximena
    I can't figure out what
    Zoe's thinking either.
[05:57] Ximena
    That's kind of fun, though.
[06:00] Zoe
    This is a pretty cool way to do lessons.
[06:02] Ximena
    Yeah. For now, let's do what she's asking.
[06:06] Zoe
    I'm sure the other units
    aren't practicing like this.
[06:10] Zoe
    But this was the answer Sofia came up with.
[06:14] Zoe
    When I think about what will happen...
[06:16] Zoe
    it makes me feel all tingly!
[06:18] Ximena
    That's right!
[06:19] Ximena
    It's pretty neat, huh?
[06:23] Ximena
    Still...
[06:26] Ximena
    Sofia just thinks differently
    than most people.
[06:30] Ximena
    Her dad's the head of a world-famous
    IT company, after all!
[06:35] Ximena
    And they say she's a genius
    programmer who's been working
[06:39] Ximena
    on different projects since she was little.
[06:42] Zoe
    I've heard that she was the youngest
    member of a certain huge project.
[06:47] Ximena
    Unbelievable!
[06:49] Ximena
    What's going on inside her head, I wonder.
[07:02] Ximena
    Hey, didn't Sofia once say she wants
    to put an AI inside her head?
[07:09] Zoe
    An AI?
[07:10] Ximena
    Yeah. She says she wants
    to see what would happen.
[07:14] Zoe
    She's thinking about stuff that
    would never occur to us, I bet.
[07:21] Chris
    I want a slightly different version...
[07:35] Sofia
    I found you.
[07:48] Sofia
    Hey.
[07:49] Chris
    Oh, no!
[07:50] Chris
    I was so busy writing the
    song that I didn't notice.
[07:53] Sofia
    The sole of your shoe.
[07:57] Chris
    An icon I've never seen before.
[08:00] Chris
    When did she...
[08:02] Sofia
    It's not like you not to notice.
[08:07] Chris
    So that was when...
[08:08] Chris
    I should've been more careful.
[08:11] Sofia
    Why do you keep acting
    like a cornered animal?
[08:15] Chris
    What do you want?
[08:16] Sofia
    I just want to talk.
[08:20] Sofia
    This song is great.
[08:22] Chris
    Give that back.
[08:23] Sofia
    Sorry, sorry.
[08:24] Sofia
    I'm not going to take it or anything.
[08:31] Sofia
    Why are you so afraid of me?
[08:34] Sofia
    It's like there's something
    you don't want me knowing.
[08:39] Chris
    You're going to boil me into a stew.
[08:41] Sofia
    I am not.
[08:43] Sofia
    But I do want to analyze you.
[08:47] Sofia
    Sorry, sorry!
[08:48] Sofia
    I am curious about you,
    but I'm not going to hurt you.
[08:52] Sofia
    I just want to talk. That's all!
[08:59] Sofia
    Thank you.
[09:00] Sofia
    You really do fascinate me.
[09:03] Sofia
    Just standing here I can feel
    how much you're changing.
[09:07] Sofia
    This world's filled with
    amazing things, isn't it?
[09:12] Sofia
    People who inspire you.
[09:15] Sofia
    Tools, things that happen...
[09:17] Sofia
    No day is ever the same.
[09:19] Sofia
    Every day is different.
[09:22] Sofia
    For you, right now, what is this world?
[09:28] Chris
    For me?
[09:30] Sofia
    Tell me.
[09:32] Sofia
    Tell me about the changes you've
    experienced, that I never will.
[09:36] Sofia
    How you're changing, how you feel...
[09:40] Sofia
    I want to know.
[09:42] Chris
    To me, this world is...
[09:48] Chris
    Before I met Miracle, it looked like
    nothing but a bunch of abstract symbols.
[09:55] Chris
    I didn't know what shape
    I was taking, or who I was.
[10:02] (Flashback) Miracle
    Chris!
[10:07] Chris
    But that changed when I met Miracle.
[10:11] Chris
    Miracle was always there with me.
[10:14] Chris
    She came to like me.
[10:17] Chris
    And each time I could feel
    how she felt about me,
[10:20] Chris
    little by little, I started to
    feel like I understood who I was.
[10:25] Chris
    And Miracle connected me to a
    lot of other people, too...
[10:34] Chris
    And the next thing I knew,
    I was there with them.
[10:38] Chris
    The things I want to do, the people
    I love, the things I love...
[10:43] Chris
    Each time I found something new,
[10:45] Chris
    what looked like an abstract
    symbol came to life.
[10:51] Chris
    And that's still happening, even now.
[10:58] Chris
    I still don't know what this world is.
[11:02] Chris
    I don't understand.
[11:04] Chris
    I still don't understand.
[11:06] Chris
    I don't know what kind
    of world this is, yet.
[11:11] Sofia
    I see.
[11:12] Sofia
    You know, you really do fascinate me, Chris.
[11:15] Sofia
    That wasn't the answer
    I expected at all, you see.
[11:19] Sofia
    You still don't understand, huh?
[11:24] Sofia
    Sorry to interrupt you.
[11:26] Sofia
    I want to keep watching how you change.
[11:30] Sofia
    And how your world changes.
[11:34] Sofia
    I can't wait to see.
[11:57] Sofia
    This is it!
[11:58] Sofia
    It connected!
[12:04] Ximena
    Unbelievable!
[12:07] Ximena
    Not a single word from her
    until the day we perform!
[12:10] Zoe
    She probably has a reason for it.
[12:14] Ximena
    I'm sure, yeah.
[12:16] [SONG] Sign
    I finished the song for 3DM8. Come to my room.
[12:24] Ximena
    Jeez! I didn't think you'd go
    completely radio silent on us!
[12:28] Sofia
    Sorry.
[12:30] Sofia
    For me, it was all part of the plan.
[12:33] Zoe
    You made your perfect song, right?
[12:35] Sofia
    Yeah. Now we have to finish it.
[12:38] Ximena
    But there's barely any time
    until the performance!
[12:41] Sofia
    Yeah. We've got enough time to
    run through it exactly once.
[12:45] Ximena
    Unbelievable! Just once!
[12:47] Sofia
    That's how I want it.
[12:50] Sofia
    3DM8's biggest advantage is that
    we all have our own unique skills,
[12:55] Sofia
    and shine with our own light.
[12:59] Sofia
    We all shine on our own, but the first time
    we connect with someone else's light...
[13:04] Sofia
    It will create a big bang that
    enthralls all life in the universe.
[13:08] Sofia
    So my calculations show that our first
    performance will be our best one!
[13:15] Zoe
    I see.
[13:16] Zoe
    That's incredible.
[13:18] Ximena
    Okay. Let's do it.
[13:21] Sofia
    I'd done my calculations on these two,
    but they may have surpassed them.
[13:26] Sofia
    I was right to ask them to join me.
[13:29] Sofia
    I've been so excited this whole time
    because I knew something would happen.
[13:33] Sofia
    Okay, let's get ready.
[13:37] Miracle
    It's almost time for 3DM8's performance!
[13:45] Chris
    What kind of performance is she going to do?
[13:50] Sofia
    I'm about to reach maximum excitement...
[13:54] Sofia
    I never thought it would
    feel quite like this...
[13:58] Sofia
    Now, let's go!
SIGN    Great!
[15:35] [SONG] Sign
    I loved it!
[15:35] [SONG] Sign
    That was incredible!
[15:36] [SONG] Sign

[15:39] Ximena
    Everybody loves it!
[15:41] Zoe
    Yeah.
[15:42] Sofia
    This wasn't in my calculations...
[15:48] Sofia
    It was more perfect than perfect!
[15:50] Sofia
    This has never happened before!
[15:53] Sofia
    And we can do even better
    than this, can't we?
[15:56] Ximena
    Yeah.
[15:58] Sofia
    Chris, these two...
[16:01] Sofia
    So much is happening that my
    calculations can't keep up!
[16:05] Sofia
    The virtual world is filled with
    the unknown, and it's incredible!
[16:13] Auris
    They're all too established
    as unique individuals...
[16:18] Auris
    Connecting two perfect things won't
    lead you to infinite possibilities.
[16:25] Ada
    Wonderful.
[16:27] Ada
    Perfect individuals together in harmony...
[16:29] Ada
    That's what's needed to create
    even greater possibilities...
[16:36] Chris
    So that was their performance...
[16:41] Miracle
    Wow! 3DM8 is great!
[16:44] Quan
    That was intense, huh?
[16:46] Riz
    Each of them was unique in their own way,
[16:50] Riz
    but they all brought out
    the best in each other.
[16:52] Noelle
    Yes, it was wonderful.
[16:54] Miracle
    We need to do our best, too!
[16:57] Noelle
    Yes!
[16:58] Noelle
    And that's why you need to
    write your lyrics already!
[17:00] Riz
    That's right!
[17:02] Quan
    Riz, how's the song coming?
[17:04] Riz
    Looking good. Chris wants to add
    the finishing touches on her own.
[17:08] Miracle
    It's tomorrow, after all.
[17:10] Miracle
    I'm so nervous!
[17:11] Nolle
    If you've got time to be nervous,
    you've got time to write lyrics!
[17:14] Riz
    The song's done, the choreography's done,
[17:17] Riz
    Noelle and Quan's lyrics are done.
[17:20] Riz
    All that's left is Miracle's lyrics!
[17:24] Miracle
    But there's so much I want to say that
    I don't know what to write at all!
[17:29] Noelle
    That again?
[17:30] Riz
    Miracle is just terrible at choosing things.
[17:33] Quan
    Miracle's feelings are twice
    as strong as most people's.
[17:36] Noelle
    Don't coddle her!
[17:38] Noelle
    It's an artist's job to set those
    feelings to a melody
[17:40] Noelle
    so that people can hear them, right?
[17:42] Miracle
    I've written down what I feel, but...
[17:46] Noelle
    Let me see!
[17:47] Miracle
    W-Wait!
[17:49] Noelle
    "Fortune takoyaki. I want to keep
    eating until I find the heart."
[17:53] Quan
    "The chef's hamburg steak is
    as whimsical as my heart"...?
[17:58] Riz
    "I can't stop these feelings
    from overflowing,"
[18:01] Riz
    "it's like trying to stop eating
    potato chips while midnight snacking."
[18:04] Noelle
    This is all about food!
[18:08] Miracle
    But thinking up lyrics makes me hungry.
[18:11] Quan
    Keep at it! I know you can do it, Miracle!
[18:14] Miracle
    Quan! Thank you!
[18:17] Noelle
    Hey! Get to work! Now!
[18:19] Miracle
    You're so mean, Noelle!

    The crane repays a debt.
[21:24] Miracle
    Once upon a time, a young man was
    walking through the mountains
[21:27] Miracle
    when he found a crane stuck in a trap.
[21:30] Miracle
    The crane was crying in pain.
[21:33] Miracle
    Angyah! Kwah!
[21:35] Quan
    Is that really what a crane sounds like?
[21:39] Miracle
    The young man set the crane free.
[21:42] Miracle
    And that night, somebody came
    to visit him in his home.
[21:46] Quan
    Was it the crane he saved that day?
[21:49] Miracle
    Pipo-pipo-pipon!
[21:51] Miracle
    Pipo-pipo-pipon!
[21:54] Quan
    Did he live in a convenience store?
[21:56] Miracle
    It was a young girl.
[21:59] Miracle
    "I've gotten lost, I'm afraid."
[22:01] Miracle
    "May I stay the night?"
[22:04] Quan
    She's actually the crane, right?
[22:07] Miracle
    The young man decided to let her stay.
[22:10] Miracle
    And she stayed up the whole night,
    doing something in secret.
[22:15] Quan
    The crane's using her feathers to
    weave a beautiful cloth, right?
[22:20] Miracle
    "Tch! None of this stuff's worth anything!"
[22:24] Quan
    She was a thief?
[22:26] Miracle
    And then the young man said...
[22:29] Miracle
    "You've shown who you really are, villain!"
[22:32] Miracle
    "I guess you found me, huh?"
[22:34] Miracle

[22:36] Quan
    M-Miracle, wait...
[22:39] Miracle
    What?
[22:40] Quan
    You've got the story wrong.
[22:42] Quan
    The way the story goes,
    she's actually the crane.
[22:44] Quan
    She weaves him a cloth he
    can sell to make him rich,
[22:47] Quan
    and that's how she repays him, right?
[22:50] Miracle
    I came up with my own version!
[22:52] Quan
    Okay, I see what you're going for.
[22:54] Quan
    Let's start over at the point where
    the girl comes to stay the night.
[22:59] Miracle
    The young man decided to let her stay.
[23:02] Miracle
    And the next morning,
    she handed him a beautiful cloth.
[23:07] Miracle
    "Sell this for a lot of money," she said.
[23:10] Quan
    Yes, that's right!
[23:12] Miracle
    You get 20%, I get 80%.
[23:13] Miracle
    One word out of you, and the deal's off!
[23:16] Quan
    Harsh.
[23:18] Miracle
    The young man took the deal, sold
    the cloth, and it was a huge success!
[23:23] Miracle
    And that's how he was able to
    open a second convenience store.
[23:27] Quan
    So his house was a convenience store.
[23:30] Miracle
    The end!
[23:32] Quan
    Now I can't sleep.

[00:02] Miracle
    Hey!
[00:03] Miracle
    It's me, Miracle!
[00:05] Miracle
    For today's stream,
[00:07] Miracle
    I'm going to go over what's happened
    so far in the main event battles!
[00:10] Miracle
    Our top batters were VICONIC,
    the duo of Jua and Thea!
[00:14] Miracle
    They gave us a performance where
    they were in perfect harmony!
[00:18] Miracle
    The audience was already incredibly excited,
    and they were only the first act!
[00:22] Miracle
    And the next to perform
    were these three: 3DM8!
[00:27] Miracle
    That's the unit of Zoe, Ximena, and Sofia.
[00:30] Miracle
    They say they never even practiced together
    until the day of the performance!
[00:35] Miracle
    But the things that made each of
    them unique really shone through!
[00:38] Miracle
    It was a super-high-level performance!
[00:41] Miracle
    And now, tonight,
    it's time for the third unit.
[00:45] Miracle
    That's us, PathTLive!
[00:48] Miracle
    Yay!
[00:50] Miracle
    We're going to give you a super-special
    performance before BRT5 does the last one!
[00:57] Miracle
    I'm working on the lyrics
    at this very moment!
[01:01] Miracle
    So look forward to today's
    performance, everyone!
[01:08] Miracle
    But... the lyrics aren't done at all!

    I-I made it...
[03:07] Noelle
    What the heck happened to you?!
[03:11] Miracle
    I ended up staying awake the
    whole night working on the lyrics.
[03:17] Noelle
    You didn't need to make virtual eye bags
[03:20] Noelle
    and virtual sunken cheeks
    for your avatar, though.
[03:23] Miracle
    I want to get across how hard I worked!
[03:26] Quan
    So, are the lyrics done?
[03:29] Miracle
    They're all set to go!
[03:31] Chris
    Are you okay, Miracle?
[03:33] Miracle
    Riz, I'll send them now.
[03:37] Riz
    Now we've finally got
    everyone's lyrics ready.
[03:41] Riz
    When we think about this from
    a data-based perspective...
[03:45] Riz
    The best way to handle a new song
    is to select from the lyrics
[03:48] Riz
    which represent all five of our emotions
    and combine them in a balanced manner.
[03:52] Riz
    That's what I'd like to do this time, too.
[03:57] Miracle
    Okay!

    We're at the halfway point,
    with two performances finished.
[04:32] Ada
    What are your thoughts
    so far, Principal Auris?
[04:36] Auris
    Perfect synchronization.
[04:40] Auris
    This performance is the ideal that I seek.
[04:44] Ada
    I see.
[04:46] Ada
    But this pair is too harmonious.
[04:49] Ada
    I can't feel the artists'
    individuality at all.
[04:53] Auris
    So Ada, the winner of the
    Lapin d'Or, prefers...
[04:59] Ada
    A violent clash between unique individuals.
[05:03] Ada
    Performances like this are the
     ones that change the world.
[05:08] Auris
    So our opinions are completely opposite.
[05:11] Ada
    If the remaining two performances prioritize
    harmony over individuality as well,
[05:16] Ada
    they'll never survive at
    the Virtual Grid Awards.
[05:20] Auris
    We won't know that until it happens.
[05:23] Ada
    I want to ask you a question.
[05:26] Ada
    Why are you having all of ADEN
    participate in these qualifiers?
[05:33] Auris
    I want to show the world how wonderful
    it can be to connect through artists.
[05:39] Ada
    I'll be blunt. Your idea of "connection" is
    nothing but harmful. It crushes the individual.
[05:46] Auris
    There's no point in arguing about that here.
[05:50] Auris
    We'll know what kind of "connection"
    will change the world...

    once the last two units have
     finished their performances.

[10:57] Sofia
    Can you hear me?
[10:59] Miracle
    This voice...
[11:00] Sofia
    This is Sofia with 3DM8.
[11:02] Riz
    I thought we were completely
    cut off from the outside.
[11:06] Riz
    Why?
[11:07] Sofia
    Something concerning has happened.
[11:10] Sofia
    ADEN's network is under
    cyberattack from someone.
[11:14] Sofia
    I was tracking them when I found you.
[11:18] Riz
    A cyberattack!
[11:19] Miracle
    Sofia, is there no way out of here?
[11:23] Noelle
    There's no time left until our performance!
[11:26] Quan
    Please! Help us!
[11:28] Sofia
    I'd love to, but the protocol that's
    been placed on that area is complex.
[11:33] Sofia
    I don't know if I'll make it in time.
[11:35] Quan
    No.
[11:36] Riz
    If even you can't help, Sofia...
[11:39] Chris
    Sofia, listen to me.
[11:41] Sofia
    Is that you, Chris?
[11:44] Chris
    I want to answer your question from before.
[11:46] (Flashback) Sofia
    For you, right now, what is this world?
[11:51] Chris
    My answer is...
[11:53] Sofia
    Tell me.
[11:55] Chris
    I'm still not 100% clear.
[11:57] Chris
    But...
[12:00] Chris
    I feel like there's a power that will let us
    do something incredible if we connect.
[12:04] Chris
    It's a world that will give me
    that power... give me a heart.
[12:09] Sofia
    A heart?
[12:11] Sofia
    It's surprising to hear that from you.
[12:15] Chris
    I want that heart.
[12:17] Chris
    Sofia, I want your help.
[12:20] Chris
    Please, help us.
[12:23] Sofia
    Hm... I do want to see what's
    in store for the world you see.
[12:28] Riz
    What will you do?
[12:29] Sofia
    I'll need to come up with a way.
[12:32] Sofia
    But I'll try everything I can think of.
[12:37] Ximena
    Zoe, I got a message from Sofia.
[12:41] Zoe
    I have no reason to help PathTLive.
[12:43] Ximena
    But...
[12:44] Zoe
    But... I don't want to win
    without even fighting.
[12:49] Zoe
    That wouldn't be fun at all.

[13:09] Thea
    Something's happened to them.
[13:13] Thea
    So we want you to either delay their
    starting time, or set it on another day.
[13:17] Auris

[13:43] Ellie
    Please explain. Tell us what's happening.
[13:46] Ximena
    We don't really understand ourselves,
[13:49] Ximena
    but PathTLive is locked up somewhere,
[13:51] Ximena
    and they're in big trouble!
[13:53] Zoe
    You don't want to win without
    battling them, right?
[13:57] Sarah
    Miracle's unit is locked up?
[14:00] Jessie
    I'm sorry, Ximena.
[14:03] Jessie
    We've practiced this whole time with the
    idea that we'd be performing tomorrow.
[14:08] Ellie
    We can't change places now...
[14:11] Sarah
    I'm sorry, but we're about to put the
    final touches on our performance.
[14:18] Sofia
    All the data inside ADEN is
    being modified or deleted.
[14:25] Sofia
    This algorithm... Could it be?
[14:28] Jessie
    Anyway, we're going back to our lessons.
[14:32] Ximena
    Jessie...
[14:34] Niska
    May I say something?
[14:36] Niska
    I want you all to listen to me.
[14:39] Niska
    I was only able to come back
    to BRT5 with everyone's help,
[14:43] Niska
    including Miracle, Quan, and Ximena.
[14:47] Niska
    If even one of them wasn't there,
    I might not be here today.
[14:51] Niska
    So I want to help the friends
    who gave me what I have now.
[14:55] Niska
    Tell me... am I wrong?
[15:00] Jessie
    We only made it here because of PathTLive.
[15:04] Halle
    They're rivals...
[15:07] Sarah
    But they're also comrades,
    who help us improve.
[15:09] Ellie
    And if we were in their shoes...
[15:13] Halle
    PathTLive would definitely
    do it for us, right?
[15:18] Niska
    I agree.
[15:22] Niska
    Thanks.
[15:24] Niska
    For telling us our friends are in trouble.
[15:28] Niska
    Let's go.

[15:54] Auris

[15:58] Miracle
    Have we been disqualified?
[16:00] Auris
    Due to a request from BRT5,
[16:04] Auris
    they will perform today
    instead of PathTLive.
[16:16] Sarah
    What is it, Halle?
[16:18] Halle
    I was just thinking that
    we've really changed.
[16:23] Sarah
    The old BRT5 would never
    have been this nice, right?
[16:28] Niska
    Yes, we've changed.
[16:30] Niska
    But there are sights that only
    those who have changed can see.
[16:35] Jessie
    Yes, I don't mind the way
    we've changed at all.
[16:38] Jessie
    If anything, I'm proud.
[16:40] Niska
    Let's go see something incredible.
[16:42] Niska
    Something we've never
    been able to see before!
[18:22] Jessie
    We all got to see something
    incredible today!
[18:25] Halle
    It was the absolute best we've ever done!
[18:29] Jessie
    We'll always be together from now on, Niska.
[18:33] Niska
    Yeah.
[18:36] Miracle
    Okay, now it's our turn!

    I'm raring to go!
[18:40] Quan
    Yes, we'll give the ultimate performance.

[18:44] Sofia
    Everyone, listen to me.
[18:46] Riz
    Sofia.
[18:48] Sofia
    It took some time, but I
    found a way to get you out.
[18:52] Noelle
    Really?
[18:53] Sofia
    I'm going to have you move
    to a Linkverse I updated.
[18:57] Miracle
    An updated link...
[19:01] Miracle
    I don't understand, but you
    really are a genius, Sofia!
[19:04] Sofia
    Riz, can you hear me?
[19:06] Riz
    What?
[19:06] Sofia
    I need your help.
[19:08] Sofia
    I want you to rewrite your sector's code
    to allow it to access my Linkverse.
[19:14] Quan
    B-But...
[19:16] Riz
    There's no other way?
[19:18] Miracle
    Huh? What's going on?
[19:21] Riz
    Listen to me carefully, Miracle.
[19:24] Riz
    Rewriting this sector's
    code means deleting it.
[19:30] Chris
    Deleting it?
[19:31] Miracle
    Wait, you can't do that!
[19:34] Quan
    Miracle...
[19:36] Miracle

    "The unit battles have been
    proceeding without a hitch,"
[00:05] Miracle
    "and now it's our turn!"
[00:07] Quan
    That's what we were thinking when
    something terrible happened.
[00:10] Riz
    The ADEN network came under cyberattack,
    and data inside ADEN was deleted.
[00:17] Noelle
    We'd almost finished our song,
    but it was deleted.
[00:20] Noelle
    And there was no time left
    before our performance!
[00:23] Noelle
    And then...
[00:25] Chris
    BRT5 took our place.
[00:28] Quan
    All that was left was to move
    to the Linkverse Sofia created,
[00:31] Quan
    and PathTLive would be able to perform.
[00:34] Miracle
    But to do it, we'd have to...
[02:07] Miracle
    Connection of Hope
[02:07] Miracle
    Connection of Hope
[02:08] Sofia
    I'll say it again.
[02:09] Sofia
    To access my Linkverse, you'll need
    to rewrite the code of that sector.
[02:16] Miracle
    But... if we do that...
[02:19] Miracle
    this place will disappear.
[02:25] Miracle
    I can't do that!
[02:27] Miracle
    I have too many memories here!
[02:31] Chris
    Let's think of another way.
[02:34] Noelle
    Yeah. But...
[02:38] Riz
    There's too little data to figure
    out what the right answer is.
[02:42] Riz
    But I can tell that the method
    Sofia is offering us is the best one.
[02:47] Riz
    But I can tell that the method
    Sofia is offering us is the best one.
[02:51] Miracle
    But... But...
[02:57] Noelle
    Quan?
[02:59] Quan
    I'll delete marumaru.
[03:03] Quan
    Miracle's right.
[03:05] Quan
    We have a lot of precious memories here.
[03:11] Quan
    But... right now, those memories
    are holding us back.
[03:19] Miracle
    Wait, Quan. Stop—
[03:29] Miracle
    No...
[03:31] Miracle
    It's gone...
[03:39] Quan
    Don't worry.
[03:42] Quan
    It's right here.
[03:46] Quan
    You can't see them.
    You can't touch them.
[03:49] Quan
    But that doesn't mean that
    the memories disappear.
[03:53] Quan
    Memories aren't things that hold us back.
[03:58] Quan
    They're our friends,
    encouraging us to move on.
[04:01] Quan
    That's what I think.
[04:03] Miracle
    Quan...
[04:04] Noelle
    Quan's right!
[04:07] Riz
    It's inside us, too!
[04:13] Chris
    And inside you too, of course.
[04:18] Miracle
    Of course! Of course it is!
[04:25] Chris
    There, there.
[04:27] Miracle
    Quan, I'm sorry!
[04:29] Miracle
    It's my fault...
[04:30] Miracle
    I made you do the most painful
    thing you could do.
[04:33] Miracle
    That marumaru avatar was precious to you.
[04:39] Quan
    No, it's fine.
[04:42] Chris
    There, there for you too, Quan.
[04:46] Miracle
    But! But! But!
[04:48] Miracle
    I need to apologize!
[04:50] Miracle
    What do I do?
[04:52] Quan
    I just said...
[04:54] Chris
    Uncle. Uncle.
[04:56] Noelle
    Quan, you need to say something
    or she'll never stop.
[05:02] Quan
    Okay...
[05:05] Quan
    Buy me some fortune takoyaki later.
[05:08] Miracle
    As many as you want!
[05:09] Miracle
    I'll give you 100 heart ones!
[05:11] Riz
    No, probabilistically speaking,
    that's impossible!
[05:14] Miracle
    I'll raise the probability with spirit!
[05:16] Noelle
    "Spirit"?
[05:18] Riz
    But, well...
[05:19] Chris
    I think Miracle could do it!
[05:29] Quan
    Miracle...
[05:30] Miracle
    Yeah.
[05:32] Miracle
    We'll leave this place and give

    Alright.

[05:52] Jessie

[05:53] Jessie
    That's why we switched places with them.
[06:02] Sofia
    Good, Riz.
[06:03] Sofia
    Keep it up.
[06:05] Riz
    Just a little more... a little more...
[06:08] Sofia
    The sector code rewrite is...
[06:12] Riz
    ...all done!
[06:15] Sofia
    Okay!
[06:16] Riz
    Perfect!
[06:18] Miracle
    Yay!
[06:19] Riz
    Now we just access Sofia's Linkverse...
[06:25] Riz
    What?
[06:29] Riz
    Sofia?!

    No... I can't stop it!
[06:43] Sofia
    Some kind of code is starting
    to delete its own contract!
[06:50] Sofia
    It's going faster than before!
[06:53] Ximena
    Is everything okay?
[06:54] Sofia
    Not so much.
[06:56] Sofia
    I hate to say it, but I can't keep up!
[06:59] Sofia
    I need to find some way
    to go faster than it.
[07:02] Sofia
    No, that's not it.
[07:03] Sofia
    I don't need to go faster. I need to...
[07:08] Sofia
    VICONIC! BRT5!
[07:12] Niska
    What?
[07:13] Sofia
    Can you come here?
[07:16] Sofia
    I'm sure you all saw, but...
[07:17] Jua
    PathTLive is in big trouble, right?
[07:21] Sofia
    A sector code rewrite wasn't enough
    to get them to my Linkverse.
[07:28] Jessie
    So what do we do?
[07:30] Sofia
    I want data that won't lose to
    the code that's attacking ADEN.
[07:34] Sofia
    No, not "won't lose"...
[07:36] Sofia
    Data that can keep fighting.
[07:38] Sofia
    Data that will never stop.
[07:40] Sofia
    That's what I need.
[07:42] Jessie
    What does that mean?
[07:44] Thea
    But where would you...
[07:46] Niska
    I see.

[08:13] Miracle
    Why?

    performance ever as PathTLive...
[08:45] Miracle
    What do I do? What am I supposed to do?
[08:50] Miracle
    I'm scared.
[09:04] Noelle

    Jua... Thea...
[12:04] Sofia
    The thing which guides you...
[12:06] Sofia
    which never stops.
[12:08] Sofia
    It's...
[12:09] Sofia
    Our music, which is connected to you!
[13:38] Riz
    3DM8...
[13:54] Niska
    Come here!
[13:55] Jua
    Take...
[13:57] Sofia
    ...our hands!
[14:11] Miracle
    No.
[14:12] Quan
    Not this way!
[14:14] Chris
    Everyone is...
[14:15] Noelle
    The path we need to follow is...
[14:19] Riz
    This way!
[14:46] Miracle
    Um, where are we?
[14:49] Riz
    Sofia's Linkverse.
[14:51] Noelle
    So it worked. I'm so glad.
[14:56] Miracle
    Everyone worked together to bring us here!
[14:59] Quan
    It's strange...
[15:01] Quan
    It's an empty world, just like
    the one we were in before,
[15:04] Quan
    but I'm not scared.
[15:07] Chris
    Because we connected with everyone?
[15:09] Noelle
    Yes. We connected with
    VICONIC, 3DM8, and BRT5,
[15:12] Noelle
    but we didn't connect with everything.
[15:15] Noelle
    Some people we couldn't connect with...
[15:17] Riz
    But that's why we meet other people.
[15:22] Noelle
    And there are times when you can feel like you've
     connected with someone by saying goodbye.
[15:26] Chris
    There are so many different ways
    to feel and interpret things.
[15:29] Riz
    And everything is always changing shape.
[15:34] Miracle
    Every second, we're becoming
    someone different.
[15:39] Chris
    That's what this world is.
[15:41] Chris
    You can be anything, and do anything.
[15:44] Miracle
    Right?
[15:46] Riz
    Which means...
[15:48] Riz
    There's no reason to just sit around
    in this Linkverse forever, right?
[15:52] Noelle
    Feeling a rivalry towards Sofia?
[15:54] Riz
    I'm not sure I'm ready to be
    called her rival, actually.
[15:58] Quan
    Let's go.
[16:00] Chris
    The music is playing inside our hearts.
[16:04] Miracle
    We didn't need to look for it.
[16:06] Miracle
    Our sound was right here!
[16:09] All
    Yeah!
[16:13] Miracle
    PathTLive...
[16:15] All
    Go!
[17:54] Ada
    A thing which is not individual,
    and yet is individual.
[17:56] Ada
    I'm surprised to see such a thing being born.
[18:00] Ada
    But... it is also the birth of
    something which could be dangerous.
[18:05] Ada
    Now, can you predict the kind
    of future this will lead to?
[18:16] Auris
    I see...
[18:17] Auris
    This is the possibility that
    connects the world...
[18:20] Auris
    A fragment of her feelings... isn't it?
[18:39] Auris
    Excellent work, everyone.
[18:42] Auris
    Thank you for overcoming those unexpected
    difficulties and delivering an excellent performance.
[18:48] Auris
    ADEN is currently rebuilding
    the damaged areas.
[18:51] Vanitys
    Vani! Vani! Vani! Vani!
[18:51] Auris
    It will be back to normal by morning.
[18:54] Auris
    I apologize for the trouble.
[18:57] Auris
    Now, that concludes the last
    of our unit performances.
[19:02] Auris
    I will now announce the winners of the
    Virtual Grid Awards main event unit battle!
[19:15] Auris
    VICONIC,
[19:17] Auris
    3DM8,
[19:19] Auris
    BRT5,
[19:21] Auris
    PathTLive.
[19:23] Auris
    The winners of this battle, who will
    be going onstage at the VGAs...
