[00:02] Jessie
    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
    what it is that you truly feel.
[00:25] Jessie
    It's a very difficult thing to do,
[00:28] Jessie
    but I think I've found my answer!
[00:33] Jessie
    Now, I think, it's your turn.

Where Flapping Wings Fly
[02:12] Miracle
    Look at all the butterflies!
[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
    I don't know what to do at all!
[07:42] Miracle
    That's right! At times like this...
    I can get help from AI-chan!
[07:53] [SONG] Song
    If you could be reincarnated,
    what kind of you would you like to be?
[08:00] [SONG] Song
    If that's what you wish for,
    I'll cast a little spell
[08:05] [SONG] Song
    If I were God, maybe I'd
    make the whole world one
[08:12] [SONG] Song
    But you know, that'd just
    be a boring fairytale
[08:19] [SONG] Song
    I can hear your voice; don't forget your wish
[08:24] [SONG] Song
    The sparkle that was created from
    our uncertain selves being born
[08:31] [SONG] Song
    Let's let it resonate loud and far
[08:34] [SONG] Song
    Even if we're far apart
[08:37] [SONG] Song
    I want to believe in the
    future projected in your eyes
[08:44] [SONG] Song
    I won't be afraid anymore;
    I'll transcend the reason I was born
[08:50] [SONG] Song
    I'll reach out toward tomorrow
    and change the world
[08:59] [SONG] Song
    Let's search for our destinies and link
[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?
[11:42] Miracle
    Quan?
[11:46] Miracle
    Quan!
[12:02] Miracle
    Why are you crying?
[12:08] Quan
    Miracle?
[12:11] Miracle
    This is your butterfly, right?
[12:16] Quan
    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

    I'm Ada.

    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?
