[00:01] ---
Your newbie hasn't quit yet?
[00:05] ---
Nope, he's hanging in there.
[00:07] ---
Oh?
[00:08] ---
I'm a good judge of character,
regardless of what you may think.
[00:12] ---
Yeah, right.
[00:13] ---
Everyone younger than Sakaki-kun quit.
[00:19] ---
Oh, it's here. Right here.
[00:23] ---
Is this a crime?
[00:25] ---
I don't know.
[00:27] ---
Is it in our jurisdiction?
[00:30] ---
Yeah, probably.
[00:32] ---
Yeah...
[00:36] ---
But my request to investigate
the scene keeps getting rejected.
[00:41] ---
And if you get us involved,
that problem will go away?
[00:50] ---
Yeah, that's about right.

You want us to investigate the north
and south elevators at City Hall?
[02:29] ---
We got official permission.
SIGN #5 "The Parallel World Elevator of
the City Hall Observation Deck"
[02:32] ---
Finally, huh?
[02:34] ---
What's going on?
[02:37] ---
It's an urban legend that's been going around!
[02:40] ---
The Parallel World Elevator.
[02:42] ---
You've at least heard of it, right?
[02:44] ---
Um... No.
[02:47] ---
Listen, when you're in this line of work,
[02:51] ---
you've gotta keep an ear to the ground!
[02:53] ---
Search for it online. You'll find it right away.
[02:57] ---
Sorry...
[02:59] ---
Someone posted to our occult message board
[03:01] ---
saying that somebody went up
to the City Hall observation deck,
[03:04] ---
and ended up in another world.
[03:06] ---
"Our"?
[03:07] ---
Yeah. I made it.
SIGN I went up the observation deck in City Hall and ended up in another world lololol
Anonymous, Lost in a Parallel Dimension
Oh shit. No idea where I am.
Anonymous, Lost in a Parallel Dimension
I went up to the observation deck and everybody disappeared. It's just me.

[03:11] ---
The poster kept a running
account of what was going on,
[03:15] ---
before they simply stopped posting.
[03:17] ---
The rumors say he probably went missing.
[03:20] ---
Ever since then, small numbers
of other people have appeared,
[03:24] ---
saying the same thing happened to them.
[03:26] ---
Some were clearly trolling,
but for the others, it's not so clear...
[03:32] ---
The number of rumors is increasing.
[03:35] ---
The police are looking for the missing people.
[03:39] ---
But why are we sticking our noses in it, then?
[03:44] ---
Well, there's been something else happening...
[03:53] ---
She disappeared!
[03:54] ---
At first I thought she was a victim
of the Parallel World Elevator, too...
[04:01] ---
She's back?
[04:04] ---
With no visible injuries.
[04:06] ---
She simply lost her memories
of her time in the observatory.
[04:11] ---
And there's several other similar reports.
[04:17] ---
Missing persons and missing memories, huh?
[04:21] ---
Which means there're
two Anothers at City Hall?
[04:24] ---
Maybe.
[04:26] ---
I don't want to think about it, but...
[04:28] ---
Sakaki-kun's just gone to meet
with the girl and hear her story.
SIGN June 13th
[04:32] ---
It seems they're acquainted.
[04:36] ---
So, I remember getting to
the south observation deck,
[04:40] ---
but the next thing I knew, I was at
the north deck for some reason!
[04:43] ---
I was so shocked!
[04:46] ---
Anything else unusual?
[04:48] ---
You're kidding!
[04:49] ---
Kyo-chan, you're not scared
of the occult at all, huh?
[04:54] ---
Has anyone you know
experienced anything similar?
[04:58] ---
A friend of mine once told me that
she'd gotten into the north elevator
[05:03] ---
and ended up in some weird
place where she saw a woman.
[05:06] ---
Like in that urban legend.
[05:08] ---
And your friend remembered this?
[05:12] ---
Besides the fact that you lost your memories,
nothing else happened, right, Aoi?
[05:18] ---
I can't think of anything.
[05:21] ---
Listen, Aoi.
[05:24] ---
What is it? You look so serious...
[05:27] ---
Did you make up with him?
[05:30] ---
Your boyfriend.
[05:32] ---
No, I didn't.
[05:34] ---
Oh, that's right.
[05:36] ---
There's a new girl at work
who I think is a good match for you.
[05:40] ---
How about I throw a mixer?
SIGN June 13th
[05:43] ---
So, learn anything from Aoi-chan?
[05:46] ---
Aoi-chan?
[05:47] ---
A customer from when I was a host.
[05:49] ---
I see.
[05:52] ---
I didn't get much in the way of clues.
[05:55] ---
There's one thing that bothered me, though.
SIGN Let's break up...
[06:00] ---
She had a boyfriend
she was thinking of marrying.
[06:03] ---
But just the other day, he broke up with her.
[06:08] ---
However, when I met her, she didn't
seem at all bothered by it.
[06:14] ---
You don't think she just got over it?
[06:16] ---
No...
[06:17] ---
It was more like she'd forgotten it.
[06:20] ---
So she lost her memories of being engaged?
[06:25] ---
She remembered her boyfriend, and the breakup.
[06:28] ---
But it was like she'd lost the memories
of being depressed or the sadness she'd felt.
[06:34] ---
That's how it felt to me.
[06:37] ---
Either way, first, we need to examine the scene.
SIGN June 13th Tokyo City Hall Building 1, First Floor
[06:46] ---
Well, Theo?
[06:48] ---
No sign of any crests or spells...
[06:55] ---
So it's not likely artificial, then.
[06:58] ---
Artificial?
[06:59] ---
Like incorporating magic into the elevator
itself into make into some kind of device.
[07:03] ---
What does that mean?
[07:04] ---
For example, if a believer in
a god, or what we call an Another,
[07:08] ---
created a magical gate
to offer their deity sacrifices.
[07:14] ---
The victims would have no idea what happened
[07:16] ---
as they passed through the gate
and right to the Another's presence.
[07:23] ---
The data we have made it seem like it happens
[07:26] ---
when you leave the elevator
to go into the observation deck.
[07:29] ---
So, we should go up?
[07:32] ---
Theo, head up to the south
deck and take a look.
[07:36] ---
Miyako and I will take
a look at the north deck.
[07:38] ---
Roger.
[07:40] ---
Pray for me, so I don't
end up in a parallel world.
[07:46] ---
That's not funny...
[07:50] ---
Nothing.
[07:52] ---
Nope.
[07:54] ---
Up it is, then.
[07:55] ---
Right.
SIGN June 14th
[08:07] ---
Um,
[08:09] ---
the missing persons and missing
memories cases are occurring at random
[08:12] ---
in both the north and south elevators, right?
[08:15] ---
Yeah. We don't know what makes them happen.
[08:19] ---
Why would someone do that?
[08:21] ---
No idea.
[08:22] ---
The goals of the Anothers
are beyond our comprehension.
SIGN June 14th
[08:32] ---
Okay, let's go.
[08:44] ---
So this is the Parallel World?
[08:48] ---
I'm looking for something.
[08:51] ---
Give what you have to me.
SIGN Shinjuku Ward
[08:58] ---
Nope, nothing.
[09:06] ---
The hell?
[09:08] ---
Okay, Arata, then.
[09:14] ---
Did they end up going to that other world?
[09:17] ---
Nah, no way.
SIGN June 14th
[09:27] ---
No, no, no.
SIGN June 14th
[09:34] ---
Kyoichi! Arata!
[09:38] ---
Maybe...
[09:41] ---
They did?
[09:43] ---
Give them to me.
[09:49] ---
Hey, do you know what she's saying?
[09:52] ---
"Give them to me."
[09:53] ---
Give what?
[09:55] ---
No idea.
[09:57] ---
Oh?
[10:02] ---
What you have...
[10:05] ---
That's not it!
[10:06] ---
Oh, no! Did I make a mistake?
[10:09] ---
A mistake?
[10:10] ---
What about you?
[10:13] ---
You have nothing.
[10:15] ---
You've got nothing to do with this!
[10:18] ---
You made contact with
this human at the entrance
[10:20] ---
and came with him, it feels like.
[10:22] ---
Contact at the entrance?
[10:26] ---
Was it then?
[10:27] ---
How many times has this happened?
[10:29] ---
Maybe when you prioritize efficiency,
you become less accurate.
[10:34] ---
Efficiency? Accurate?
[10:37] ---
You're human, aren't you?
[10:38] ---
But you understand what I'm saying?
[10:41] ---
Uh... yeah.
[10:42] ---
I'm talking with a human! How wonderful!
[10:48] ---
Since you're here, I'd like to talk to you.
[10:50] ---
Huh? Talk to me?
[10:52] ---
Come on. This way.
[10:53] ---
Huh? Wait...
[10:55] ---
Hey, Miyako!
[10:58] ---
I don't need you anymore.
[11:02] ---
No—
[11:04] ---
S-Sakaki-san!
[11:10] ---
Kyoichi! Kyoichi!
[11:12] ---
Kyoichi!
[11:17] ---
What happened?
[11:18] ---
Where's Arata?
[11:19] ---
She got him.
[11:21] ---
She controls that space.
[11:23] ---
We went to another world, and I was sent back.
[11:28] ---
I made a mistake...
[11:33] ---
Sakaki-san? No...
[11:38] ---
He was in the way, so I got rid of him.
[11:42] ---
Is he okay?
[11:43] ---
I just sent him back outside.
[11:46] ---
Now we can talk, can't we?
[11:48] ---
What are you doing?
[11:51] ---
Looking for something.
[11:53] ---
Looking for something?
[11:55] ---
Yes.
[11:57] ---
I'm gathering the things
that escaped from this box.
[12:00] ---
So she has nothing to do with the
disappearances and the missing memories?
[12:06] ---
I use that device to tell me who has
what I'm looking for and who doesn't.
[12:11] ---
Only those who have it are sent to me.
[12:16] ---
But when I set it to send me more
people, it started making mistakes.
[12:19] ---
It started sending people who
only had something similar.
[12:24] ---
Similar?
[12:25] ---
Similar to what you're looking for?
[12:27] ---
Yes. The man you were with held a tremendous
sense of loss, and that tripped the device.
[12:35] ---
I'm looking for a sense of loss, too.
[12:37] ---
But of a slightly different sort.
[12:40] ---
A sense of loss? Sakaki-san?
[12:44] ---
Any luck, Theo?
[12:47] ---
I kept trying,
[12:50] ---
which means there needs to be some
condition met that we don't have.
[12:55] ---
Shit!
[12:56] ---
We're stuck.
[12:59] ---
Hey, where are you going?
[13:01] ---
Hey!
[13:04] ---
This box once contained many things.
[13:07] ---
Bad things. Sad feelings. Diseases and crimes.
[13:11] ---
All sorts of things.
[13:13] ---
So I was told not to open it...
[13:18] ---
But when I cracked it open
just a bit, they all flew off.
[13:22] ---
It was my mistake.
[13:23] ---
Some of the box's contents,
feelings of loss in love,
[13:27] ---
fell here in Asia.
[13:30] ---
Why are you collecting lost
loves in a City Hall elevator?
[13:34] ---
City Hall?
[13:36] ---
I don't know anything about human buildings.
[13:39] ---
I make paths to this place in all
the places that meet my needs.
[13:44] ---
Then there are other elevators
in Asia that lead here, too?
[13:51] ---
Here, just wait a minute.
[13:55] ---
I hope this one isn't a mistake.
[14:02] ---
Good. This one is right.
[14:07] ---
I'm taking your feelings of lost love.
[14:29] ---
Thank you.
[14:31] ---
Now, you may return.
[14:34] ---
You're just going home.
[14:39] ---
Just as you came.
[14:44] ---
When you wake up,
you'll be where you wish to be.
[14:54] ---
That girl had a pretty big stock.
[14:57] ---
It may be time to go.
[15:00] ---
I've almost recovered enough lost love,
[15:03] ---
so next I'm going to Europe
to recover jealousy.
[15:07] ---
Does that mean you're leaving City Hall?
[15:14] ---
I told you, it triggers when
you leave the elevator.
[15:19] ---
Calm down.
[15:21] ---
You're our leader.
[15:25] ---
I need to bring back Miyako...
[15:28] ---
Let's call Reiji-kun and come up with a plan.
[15:32] ---
We won't get anywhere at this rate.
[15:36] ---
Oh, Reiji-kun?
[15:38] ---
We've got problems...
[15:40] ---
Hey!
[15:42] ---
Kyoichi! Wait!
[15:43] ---
It's really so much more
wonderful when it's filled.
[15:47] ---
But this box was essentially my dowry!
SIGN Izumi
SIGN When are you turning on your phone?!
[15:53] ---
Izumi?
[15:54] ---
So it's weird that they'd
tell me not to open it, right?
[15:55] ---
I can send messages!
[15:58] ---
How does it make any sense for me
to not open my own dowry?
[16:05] ---
Can't take... any more...
[16:07] ---
I'm calling Reiji-kun
regardless of what you say.
[16:12] ---
Maybe I can call him.
[16:14] ---
No way. The barrier probably blocks out voice.
SIGN Theo
SIGN I'm hungry
SIGN Miyako Arata
SIGN Sakaki-san, are you okay?
[16:23] ---
What's going on?
[16:25] ---
I couldn't get through on the phone!
[16:28] ---
The posts from the other world!
[16:30] ---
That's right!
[16:31] ---
That guy was posting on his
phone from another world!
SIGN What's your status?
SIGN Miyako Arata
SIGN Talking with the Another.
SIGN I don't seem to be in danger.
[16:39] ---
You probably caught a glimpse of it,
but the bad things in the box are...
[16:40] ---
"She has nothing to do with the missing
people or missing memories."
SIGN What's your situation?
SIGN Nocturnal Community Relations Section (4)
SIGN Talking with the Another.
SIGN I don't seem to be in danger.
SIGN She has nothing to do with the missing people or missing memories.
SIGN She's just collecting feelings of lost love.
[16:46] ---
Feelings of lost love?
[16:48] ---
What the hell?
[16:49] ---
The lost memories are her doing.
[16:53] ---
The weird thing I felt when I talked to Aoi...
[16:56] ---
Her feelings of lost love were stolen.
[17:01] ---
An Another that steals emotions.
[17:04] ---
If they fly out of the box again,
I have to gather them up...
[17:07] ---
Um...
[17:09] ---
When you take their feelings of lost
love, do you take their memories?
[17:13] ---
Memories?
[17:15] ---
She says she doesn't know...
SIGN She says she doesn't know...
[17:19] ---
She probably really doesn't know.
[17:22] ---
She's not doing it deliberately.
[17:25] ---
She doesn't care if someone
finds her or sees her face.
[17:29] ---
That's why she left my memories.
[17:32] ---
But if she's responsible
for the missing memories,
[17:36] ---
then is there another Another somewhere else?
[17:38] ---
No, wait.
[17:41] ---
There are no missing people?
[17:44] ---
We were able to ID that message
board poster and get a hold of him.
[17:49] ---
There was no missing
person report filed on them.
[17:52] ---
They said they remembered going to City Hall,
[17:55] ---
but had no memory of making the posts.
[17:58] ---
I see where this case is going...
[18:03] ---
The person was believed to have gone missing
because they stopped posting after that.
[18:09] ---
But if, like the ones who lost their memories,
he forgot what happened in the other world,
[18:13] ---
he wouldn't be able to keep posting.
[18:16] ---
Nobody went missing at all, then...
[18:20] ---
So the missing people and missing
memories were all your fault.
[18:27] ---
Is it possible for you to stop?
[18:31] ---
Stop what?
[18:33] ---
Looking for what you want with that elevator!
[18:37] ---
Why?
[18:38] ---
People want to use that elevator to go places!
[18:40] ---
Well, it's not a problem for me.
[18:42] ---
No, not you. Other people!
[18:45] ---
Why do I have to stop looking for what I want
[18:47] ---
because it's causing a problem for people?
[18:51] ---
There's no reason.
[18:54] ---
What will you do if they
demand your life in exchange?
[19:00] ---
You should learn more about
the scary parts of Anothers.
[19:04] ---
Just because I can talk to them doesn't
mean we understand each other.
[19:08] ---
Anothers and humans can't...
[19:14] ---
Um...
[19:16] ---
I'm leaving.
[19:17] ---
I see. What a shame.
[19:23] ---
Come back again.
[19:24] ---
I'll make it so you can come
here any time you like.
[19:29] ---
Um... One last thing.
[19:31] ---
What's your name?
[19:34] ---
Name?
[19:36] ---
Humans call me, "Pandora."
[19:40] ---
Pandora? Box...
[19:43] ---
Pandora's Box?
[19:47] ---
There's nothing more coming.
SIGN She's just collecting feelings of lost love.
SIGN She says she doesn't know...
SIGN I'm coming back.
[19:55] ---
Miyako!
[19:55] ---
Arata!
[19:57] ---
I'm back...
[20:00] ---
Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?
[20:02] ---
You didn't make any promises with the
Another, or take anything from them, right?
[20:06] ---
N-No, nothing like that...
[20:10] ---
Miyako.
[20:11] ---
I'm sorry.
[20:13] ---
I should've been more careful.
[20:16] ---
No, that's not true...
[20:21] ---
Well, Arata's okay. So it all worked out.
[20:25] ---
We're packing up for the day.
[20:27] ---
Let's write our report and go.
[20:30] ---
Yeah, you're right.
[20:37] ---
I'm going right to sleep when I get home.
[20:40] ---
We should eat first.
[20:42] ---
Where's Miyako?
[20:43] ---
He'll be here soon.
[20:47] ---
Oh, hello there.
[20:48] ---
Hey.
[20:50] ---
Oh, right.
[20:52] ---
I read the report.
[20:54] ---
One Another was responsible
for both cases, huh?
[20:57] ---
Sounds like a long night.
[21:01] ---
What good are the Ears of Sand?
[21:05] ---
Even if I can talk to the Anothers,
I couldn't resolve anything...
[21:11] ---
Our job isn't to find the big solutions.
[21:17] ---
You came back safe, and the Another
at City Hall is going to leave.
[21:23] ---
The case is over.
[21:33] ---
Oh, Yokoyama-san?
[21:35] ---
The matter at City Hall's been resolved.
[21:40] ---
Oh, sure. I can pay you back
by taking you out to eat...
[21:43] ---
There's one thing I couldn't put in the report.
[21:46] ---
That Sakaki-san's sense of loss
is what brought us to Pandora.
[21:53] ---
Sakaki-san's sense of tremendous loss...
