[00:06] Interrogator
Lieutenant Shirogane.
[00:08] Interrogator
I have important questions for you.
Answer with "yes" or "no."
[00:12] Interrogator
Do you remember the explosions in Area 2?
[00:18] Interrogator
Did you encounter someone there?
[00:24] (Flashback) Marimo
It doesn't matter how pitiful it might seem.
[00:26] (Flashback) Marimo
You all survived.
[00:28] Takeru
Marimo... Marimo...
[00:32] Takeru
Marim...
[00:33] Radhabinod
If he's this addled... the validity
of his testimony...
[00:39] Yuuko
It's not a problem.
Everything he says matches the record.
[00:43] Radhabinod
Then Sergeant Jinguuji is definitely dead.
[00:47] Radhabinod
That's a shame.
[01:00] Chizuru
Is Shirogane... gonna be all right?

SIGN Desertion
[02:56] Takeru
This didn't happen before.
[03:00] Takeru
Is it because I changed the future?
[03:03] Takeru
Is that why Marimo-chan died?!
[03:18] Meiya
Might I bother you for a moment?
[03:24] Takeru
Yeah... come in.
[03:31] Meiya
You seem calmer. That's a relief.
[03:35] Meiya
You've become the core of our group.
[03:40] Meiya
We'd only grow more worried
if you were truly shaken.
[03:49] Meiya
We have great expectations for you.
[03:52] Meiya
With that being the case, you have an
obligation, a duty, to repay that trust.
[03:56] Takeru
So I don't even have freedom of choice?
[04:00] Meiya
That's the fate of those born into privilege.
[04:03] Meiya
Mistakes may come, but you need
only succeed the next time.
[04:07] Takeru
The next time?
[04:10] Meiya
Sergeant Jinguuji's death is a tragedy,
[04:13] Meiya
but it's not something you
should feel responsible for.
[04:17] Meiya
It was simply destiny.
[04:20] Meiya
For those who have fallen in
pursuit of mankind's victory,
[04:24] Meiya
I believe that those who yet live have
a duty to make that victory reality.
[04:28] Takeru
Good for you.
[04:29] Meiya
You chose to be in this position,
of your own free will.
[04:32] Takeru
Are you kidding me?!
[04:34] Takeru
What the hell do you know?!
[04:36] Takeru
I've been taken away from Sumika, drafted into
an army... Freedom doesn't enter into it!
[04:39] Takeru
Who in the hell would willingly
choose to deal with this insanity?!
[04:43] Takeru
I'm not like you! You're here
because you want to be!
[04:52] Takeru
That's not right... Meiya was
offered up as a hostage.
[04:58] Takeru
Why aren't you fighting back?
[05:00] Meiya
If it would make you feel better...
[05:05] Meiya
I beg you. Get through this.
[05:07] Marimo
Get through this.
[05:20] Takeru
Enough... is enough.
[05:34] Takeru
I'm going back to my world.
[05:39] Takeru
Kasumi... you can tell
what I'm thinking, right?
[05:42] Takeru
I don't want to be here anymore.
Can you send me back to my world?
[05:47] Takeru
What's wrong? You're the
only one who can do this!
[05:51] Takeru
You should come too! It's great
over there! There's no BETA!
[05:56] Takeru
I bet you'll love it!
[05:58] Kasumi
No!
[06:01] Kasumi
No!
[06:03] Takeru
Are you for real? You're trying to
keep me locked up in this hell, too?
[06:08] Yuuko
Would you stop already?
[06:10] Yuuko
You look absolutely crazed. It's pathetic.
[06:14] Yuuko
If you want to go home,
you should've come to me first.
[06:17] Takeru
But you weren't in your office, sensei!
[06:21] Yuuko
Whining like a child. Unbelievable.
[06:24] Takeru
How are you so calm about this?!
Wasn't Marimo-chan your friend?
[06:29] Takeru
I thought you had her working
in the training school
[06:31] Takeru
because she was a friend that you trusted!
[06:33] Yuuko
I did it because Marimo was talented.
[06:37] Yuuko
And that's the only reason.
[06:39] Takeru
How can you say that?!
[06:41] Takeru
Marimo-chan was...
[06:45] Takeru
I don't care anymore.
[06:47] Takeru
Just send me back to my world.
[06:51] Yuuko
You've served your purpose anyway.
Run along home.
[06:58] Yuuko
Remember, 24 hours after Yashiro stops
perceiving you, you're never coming back.
[07:03] Takeru
I understand.
[07:05] Yuuko
One last warning:
[07:07] Yuuko
You need to constantly be aware of
the other world once you're there.
[07:10] Yuuko
You'll only be manifesting over there
[07:12] Yuuko
through the combination of their
perception of you and your own will.
[07:15] Yuuko
If either of those wavers,
Shirogane Takeru might cease to exist.
[07:24] Takeru
Kasumi...
[07:25] Takeru
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise
about making memories.
[07:32] Takeru
Sorry... but I'm going back to my world.
[07:46] Kasumi
Weakling.
[07:56] Takeru
I'm... back.

[08:01] Sumika

[08:04] Takeru
Whoa... What was that for?!
[08:06] Sumika
Ugh, were you still asleep, Takeru-chan?
[08:09] Takeru
I was awake!
[08:10] Sumika
Well, the hard part is getting out of bed!
[08:14] Takeru
Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry.
[08:18] Sumika
Huh?
[08:19] Sumika
Huh...

You came back again, didn't you?

About what it was you were trying to do,

I believe that's what Instructor

[15:26] Sumika
How could this...
[15:35] Takeru
I didn't come back to put
Sumika through all this!
[15:44] Headmaster
Jinguuji-sensei graduated from this school,
[15:48] Headmaster
and as an alumna and a teacher,
[15:51] Headmaster
she was always cheerful, kind,
and strict when needed,
[15:56] Headmaster
putting others before her own needs,
dedicating herself to her duty.
[16:01] Headmaster
There are no words for
how sad of a day this is.
[16:06] Takeru
What am I supposed to do?
[16:08] Yuuko
What do you suppose Marimo was thinking
about before she was killed?
[16:13] Yuuko
I can guarantee you one thing:
She didn't blame you, Shirogane.
[16:17] Takeru
Sensei...
[16:18] Yuuko
I know that you're sad, too.
[16:21] Yuuko
But isn't there something you need to do?
[16:25] Yuuko
It must be easy for the people who
have no idea what's going on.
[16:29] Yuuko
But even now, as you run about,
[16:33] Yuuko
death could be closing in on the people
you know without them being aware of it.
[16:38] Takeru
What do you mean?! You said
it would be fine yesterday!
[16:41] Yuuko
What?
[16:42] Yuuko
Was that seriously enough
to make you rest easy?
[16:45] Takeru
Then...
[16:48] Yuuko
You must think I'm absolutely fearless, huh?
[16:56] Yuuko
I'll help you as much as I can,
[16:59] Yuuko
but you're the one that needs to
do something about this, Shirogane.
[17:02] Yuuko
All anyone else can ever do is
kick us in the right direction.
[17:06] Takeru
Sensei...
[17:07] Yuuko
You need to be strong.
It's the only thing you can do.
[17:16] Takeru
Marimo-chan died because of me.
[17:19] Takeru
Then... should I have stayed there?
[17:23] Takeru
I never asked for any of this!
[17:29] Takeru
It's been over 24 hours already.
[17:33] Takeru
I can't let anyone else be killed.
[17:37] Takeru
This is my penance for
abandoning the other world.
[17:41] Sumika
Takeru-chan, where have you gone?
[17:45] Meiya
Shall we look for him?
[17:47] Sumika
I'm honestly kind of scared. It feels
like he might just... disappear.
[17:52] Meiya
You felt that as well?
[17:56] Yuuko
Kagami, I need to talk to you for a sec.
[18:06] Meiya
I see you're awake. School is over already.
[18:10] Takeru
Yeah...
[18:11] Meiya
I doubt sleeping in a place
like this is very restful.
[18:16] Takeru
And after you said we
should try to feel better.
[18:20] Takeru
Did you need something?
[18:23] Meiya
Well...

I was waiting in the classroom
with Kagami for you,

when Instructor Kouzuki came by.
[18:28] Meiya
She took Kagami with her.
[18:30] Takeru
She did?
[18:32] Meiya
She said something strange to me.
[18:36] Meiya
To stay away from you.
[18:39] Takeru
Y'know, the day it happened, I went
to a restaurant with Marimo-chan.
[18:44] Meiya
Is that right? I hadn't heard.
[18:48] Takeru
The killer saw us... and...
[18:52] Takeru
I...
[18:53] Meiya
That's not right! The fault lies
with the one who killed our teacher!

But because she met with me...

Stop this, now! I'll avail myself
to you as much as possible,

so is there nothing I can do to help you?!

celebrate your birthday.
