[00:07] Takeru
    She was the brain all along.
[00:09] Yuuko
    The Yokohama Hive was
     captured on August 5th, 1999,
[00:15] Yuuko
    during Operation Lucifer.
[00:17] Yuuko
    It was the first time mankind
     managed to occupy a hive,
[00:19] Yuuko
    where they discovered the only human to ever
    survive being taken prisoner by the BETA.
[00:23] (Flashback) Kasumi
    You wouldn't understand, Takeru-chan!
SIGN    December 19th 2001
[02:00] Yuuko
    The BETA don't recognize
    humans as being alive.
SIGN    Sumika
[02:03] Yuuko
    Alternative IV was formulated
    to take that into consideration.
[02:07] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit is our only means of
    communicating with the BETA,
[02:10] Yuuko
    because they recognize its sentience.
[02:13] Yuuko
    When Kagami Sumika was found alive,
    we were ecstatic.
[02:18] Yuuko
    And why wouldn't we be?
[02:20] Yuuko
    We'd found the perfect specimen
    with which to create the 00 Unit.
[02:25] Yuuko
    But... there were problems when the
    time came to transfer her personality.
[02:32] Yuuko
    To translate information that the BETA
    might express, we need human thinking.
[02:38] Yuuko
    But without any personality or humanity,
    it'd be as faulty as machine translation.
[02:44] Takeru
    That's why you needed the
    formulas I brought back.
[02:47] Yuuko
    You had no way of knowing.
[02:50] Yuuko
    I was the one who actually did it all.
[02:54] Yuuko
    Transplanting a personality
[02:56] Yuuko
    is a lot more complicated than
     simply copying a set of memories.
[03:00] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit not only needed to look like her,
[03:02] Yuuko
    but also needed functionally identical
    artificial biology for the same reason.
[03:08] Yuuko
    If any of the necessary parts were missing,
[03:10] Yuuko
    her brain's physiology
    would become disrupted,
[03:12] Yuuko
    leading to the human parts of her dying.
[03:20] Takeru
    We killed this world's Sumika, didn't we?
[03:25] Yuuko
    You need to get the
    00 Unit functional in time
[03:28] Yuuko
    for the practical assessment
    scheduled a week from today.
[03:31] Takeru
    "Functional"? What the hell
    am I supposed to do?
[03:47] Kasumi
    Please, talk to her.
[03:49] Takeru
    O-Okay.
[04:00] Takeru
    Hey, Sumika. It's almost Christmas, huh?
[04:04] Takeru
    Remember how I promised
    to give you a present every year?
[04:08] Takeru
    I was slacking for a while there, but this
    year, I promise to get you something.
[04:14] Takeru
    This really isn't like us, huh?
[04:19] Takeru
    From here on out, what we need
    to do is goof around a bunch.
[04:23] Sumika
    Need to...
[04:25] Takeru
    Yeah! We haven't done
    all the stuff we need to!
[04:28] Sumika
    I need to...
[04:29] Sumika
    What I need to do... need to do, need to do!
[04:32] Takeru
    Whoa! Hey, are you okay?!
[04:39] Sumika
    Can't take it... Can't take
    any of it, make it stop...
[04:42] Takeru
    Sumika!
[04:43] Sumika
    Kill the BETA! Kill you, too!
[04:45] Takeru
    I'm sorry! I'll never leave you alone again!
    I'll stay so much that you'll be sick of me!
[04:52] Takeru
    Damn it, what am I supposed to do?!
[04:52] Sumika
    No! No—!
[04:59] Yuuko
    And that was Kagami's response?
[05:02] Yuuko
    Understood. Thanks for the update.
[05:18] Michiru
    If you panic at the sight of BETA
    in the simulator, you're going to be useless.
[05:22] Michiru
    We need to nip any potential problems
    in the bud while we have the chance.
[05:27] Michiru
    The Shiranui units you rookies will pilot
    are going to be delivered in a few days.
[05:31] XM3
    XM3, online.
[05:33] Michiru
    You'll be training
    in the simulator to prepare.
[05:36] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:37] Mikoto
    Man, Takeru really is something else.
[05:40] Chizuru
    He actually managed an A rating.
[05:41] Tama
    It's impressive!
[05:42] Ayamine
    The obvious outcome, naturally.
[05:46] Mikoto
    Hey, Takeru!
[05:49] Mikoto
    Since we're done training for today,
    wanna all head to the PX?
[05:54] Takeru
    Sorry. I've got stuff to do.
[05:58] Tama
    What about dinner, then?
[06:00] Ayamine
    It's settled.
[06:01] Takeru
    Yeah, it seriously isn't, actually.
[06:03] Takeru
    Sorry again, but I'll be busy tonight, too.
[06:07] Meiya
    Takeru, this business of yours...
[06:11] Meiya
    Is it a special mission?
[06:13] Takeru
    Y-Yeah.
[06:15] Tama
    I didn't realize. Sorry, Takeru-san.
[06:18] Takeru
    Nah, it's my fault
    for not being clear about it.
[06:21] Chizuru
    Well, we haven't had a chance
    to really talk since the coup, right?
[06:26] Chizuru
    It would've been nice.
[06:28] Takeru
    They're all worried about me.
[06:31] Takeru
    Sorry, guys.
[06:32] Meiya
    No. If duty calls, so be it.
    Good luck, Takeru.
[06:38] Takeru
    Thanks.
[06:39] Tama
    You can do it, Takeru-san!
[06:40] Mikoto
    We'll hang out some other time, okay?
[06:41] Ayamine
    Yeah.
[06:42] Chizuru
    If there's anything
    I can help with, just ask.
[06:43] Meiya
    I'll aid you in any way I can, as well!
[06:45] Takeru
    I really appreciate it.
[06:48] Sumika
    No!
[06:51] Sumika
    Kill...!
[06:52] Takeru
    Sumika, it's okay! You're fine!
[06:55] Sumika
    Kill the BETA! I'll kill them!
[06:59] Takeru
    Is holding you like this
    the only thing I can do?!
[07:02] Sumika
    No! Let go! Let go of me!
[07:08] Yuuko
    Her numbers are heading
    in the right direction...
[07:11] Yuuko
    But at this pace,
    it won't be ready in time.
[07:15] Yuuko
    How are things with the squad?
[07:17] Takeru
    We've only just started training
    with the rest of the squad.
[07:20] Yuuko
    Well, the sooner you're ready, the better.
[07:22] Yuuko
    It's up to A-01 Squadron
    to serve as the 00 Unit's protection.
[07:29] Takeru
    We're going to be guarding Sumika?
[07:31] Yuuko
    The entire base is going to be
    working toward that end, really,
[07:35] Yuuko
    except that's turned out to be
    a bigger problem than I thought.
[07:38] Yuuko
    We're severely undermanned in that regard.
[07:41] Yuuko
    If I'm being totally blunt, the majority
    of the forces here won't be of any use.
[07:46] Yuuko
    You saw what a disaster
    the trial turned into, right?
[07:48] Yuuko
    Most of them were worthless. And we're
    talking Japan's frontline defenses here.
[07:52] Takeru
    I think things are running
    more tightly since then, though.
[07:55] Yuuko
    True enough.
[07:56] Yuuko
    I guess having Isumi collect
     them was worth it after all.
[08:01] Takeru
    Uh... I'm not sure I follow...
[08:04] Yuuko
    You're the one who told me the BETA would
     be incoming from Sadogashima, remember?
[08:08] Yuuko
    I was able to arrange for
    quite a few to be captured.
[08:12] Takeru
    Y-You mean to tell me... the accident was...
[08:15] Takeru
    You planned the whole thing, Yuuko-sensei?!
[08:20] Yuuko
    Just now catching on, huh?
    Not too bright, are you?
[08:25] Yuuko
    You can use it, if you want.
[08:26] Yuuko
    If you can't accept what I've done,
    go ahead and shoot me.
[08:35] Yuuko
    Knowing you, I doubt you'd miss.
[08:43] Yuuko
    What's the holdup?
[08:45] Yuuko
    You're looking at the person
    responsible for Marimo's death.
[08:50] Yuuko
    The plan can continue without me around.
[08:53] Yuuko
    I've made the appropriate arrangements,
    so don't worry about that.
[08:58] Yuuko
    Or are you afraid to kill someone?
    Worried about getting your hands dirty?
[09:07] Takeru
    It won't be necessary.
[09:09] Yuuko
    I guess Kagami Sumika being dead
    doesn't bother you that much after all.
[09:14] Takeru
    You're right.
[09:16] Takeru
    At least, that's how I was acting before.
[09:19] Takeru
    She's been by my side since I came
    to this world for the first time, for years,
[09:24] Takeru
    but I never realized who that brain was.
    I even thought it was creepy.
[09:29] Takeru
    Sumika was trapped in there,
    robbed of all sensation,
[09:32] Takeru
    while I was so sure
    she didn't exist over here.
[09:35] Takeru
    Actually, it was more like
    I was trying to convince myself
[09:39] Takeru
    that it was okay to feel
    relieved that she was safe.
[09:43] Takeru
    I was avoiding the subject altogether.
[09:46] Takeru
    And when I learned the truth, it made me
    question how deep my feelings actually run.
[09:50] Takeru
    To be honest, thinking about
    the stuff you get up to pisses me off.
[09:55] Takeru
    But...
[09:56] Takeru
    I helped you of my own free will.
[09:59] Takeru
    That's why I'm not going to change my tune
    after learning the truth. Not anymore.
[10:03] Takeru
    So you can keep the gun.
[10:06] Takeru
    Even if Sumika is artificial now, and even if
    she's fated for even more tragedy,
[10:11] Takeru
    she's better off now than
    being stuck the way she was before.
[10:16] Takeru
    I think she became the 00 Unit for a reason.
[10:20] Takeru
    And to prove that her
    survival meant something...
[10:23] Takeru
    I'm prepared to fight to the end.
[10:26] Takeru
    That's how I'll make amends
    for surviving where others didn't.
[10:40] Yuuko
    Well...
[10:42] Yuuko
    Looks like I can actually depend on you now.
[10:47] Kasumi
    Oh. I got it wrong.
[10:50] Takeru
    Kasumi, you wanna run
    your pinky through the bottom.
[10:53] Kasumi
    Shirogane-san...
[10:55] Takeru
    My talk with Sensei ran late.
[10:57] Takeru
    How's Sumika—
[10:58] Sumika
    No!
[10:59] Sumika
    Stop it. No.
[11:02] Sumika
    No more! No!
[11:03] Sumika
    Stop it!
[11:04] Takeru
    Sumika, it's okay! I'm right here!
[11:09] Takeru
    Sumika?!
[11:11] Sumika
    No! Let Takeru-chan go!
[11:12] Takeru
    Sumika, calm down! It's okay! You're all right!
[11:15] Sumika
    No!
[11:15] Takeru
    You don't have to worry anymore!
[11:23] Kasumi
    Something about her feels different.
[11:29] Kasumi
    She's only like this around you.
[11:35] Takeru
    Only when she's with me?
[11:37] Kasumi
    Yes. Her feelings are
    more mixed-up than usual.
[11:42] Kasumi
    It's hard to explain. I'm sorry.
[11:46] Takeru
    No, it's okay.
[11:49] Takeru
    I still haven't apologized to you yet.
[11:53] Takeru
    I'm sorry I ran off.
    I was a weakling, like you said.
[11:58] Takeru
    But I won't do it again.
[11:59] Takeru
    I'm gonna fight, to make it up
    to the people I made trouble for.
[12:03] Takeru
    So...
[12:05] Kasumi
    You're not a weakling anymore.
[12:10] Kasumi
    Thank you for coming back.
[12:16] Takeru
    Say, Kasumi...
[12:17] Takeru
    Did you ever read anything
[12:20] Takeru
    about our counterparts
    in this world that made an impression?
[12:27] Kasumi
    From what I've seen...
[12:29] Kasumi
    Your face when you wake up.
    When you laugh. When you eat.
[12:36] Takeru
    Hang on. Don't you have
    anything a little more... substantial?
[12:40] Kasumi
    No.
[12:44] Takeru
    What about that stuff you imitated?
[12:47] Kasumi
    Those were the memories
    I read from you about Sumika-san.
[12:52] Takeru
    Wait, you've been reading both our memories?
[12:56] Kasumi
    Yes.
[12:58] Takeru
    Oh, man...
[13:01] Takeru
    Would there be any point in
    sharing my memories with her?
[13:05] Kasumi
    Please, have faith.
[13:08] Kasumi
    The memories you have
    of Sumika-san are full of joy.
[13:13] Kasumi
    You should tell her about them.
[13:15] Takeru
    I see... I guess I should.
[13:19] Takeru
    My memories of Sumika, huh?
[13:23] Takeru
    If nothing else, we've known
    each other for a long time.
[13:28] Takeru
    That's it!
[13:30] Takeru
    The stuffed animal!
[13:32] Yuuko
    Yeah, those don't exist here.
[13:34] Yuuko
    Why don't you make it yourself?
[13:36] Takeru
    Me?
[13:37] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit has the same reading
    and projection abilities as Yashiro.
[13:43] Yuuko
    Which means that if you
    give her a heartfelt gift...
[13:46] Yuuko
    It'll be like giving her
    the memories along with it.
[13:49] Yuuko
    That should make up for any deficiencies
    in the actual product. It's a good plan.
[14:33] Chizuru
    Our Shiranui units are finally here.
[14:38] Kasumi
    Right. And then...
[14:41] Kasumi
    You take this finger and do this. And then...
[14:44] Sumika
    Not... like... that.
[14:49] Sumika
    First... do this.
[14:52] Takeru
    Sumika?
[14:53] Takeru
    She's actually reacting to
    Kasumi and keeping calm.
[14:58] Sumika
    Enough of this. Want more training.
[15:02] Sumika
    Need to train to kill them.
[15:05] Takeru
    Sumika, cat's cradle is
    way more fun than training.
[15:09] Sumika
    Don't care. Wanna kill.
[15:12] Sumika
    Wanna kill. Right now.
    Slaughter all of them.
[15:15] Sumika
    Don't take him! No! Stop it!
[15:17] Takeru
    It's okay, Sumika! No one's
    taking anything from you!
[15:18] Sumika
    Stop! Stop, just stop it, stop, please!
[15:20] Takeru
    Sumika!
[15:22] Sumika
    Don't... Don't take him from me!
[15:25] Sumika
    Don't take Takeru-chan away from me!
[15:31] Takeru
    What the hell happened to this
    world's versions of me and Sumika?!
[15:39] Takeru
    H-Hey! Sumika!
[15:44] Sumika
    Takeru-chan... why did you leave me?
[15:52] Takeru
    I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.
[15:56] Sumika
    You really... really won't leave?
[16:02] Takeru
    Kasumi!
[16:03] Kasumi
    Sumika-san is giving off
    a very warm color right now.
[16:08] Kasumi
    It's never been like this before.
[16:11] Sumika
    It's true.
[16:14] Sumika
    It really is you, Takeru-chan.
[16:18] Takeru
    She actually recognizes me.
    Maybe now's the time.
[16:40] Takeru
    Sumika, come here for a sec.
[16:45] Takeru
    Hold your hands out.
[16:49] Takeru
    Now close your eyes.
[16:54] Takeru
    Okay, open them and take a look.
[17:01] Sumika
    What is it?
[17:02] Takeru
    I know it's kind of early, but that's
    your Christmas present from me.
[17:06] Sumika
    Christmas present?
[17:08] Takeru
    See, there's this guy called Santa Claus who's
    supposed to bring presents on Christmas.
[17:12] Takeru
    That's the story, anyway.
[17:15] Takeru
    But he doesn't really exist.
[17:19] Takeru
    Which is why, in the other world,
    I made a decision when I was little.
[17:24] Takeru
    Every year, I would give you
    a present in Santa's place.
[17:30] Takeru
    When I was little, I had no idea
    what those presents meant to you.
[17:37] Takeru
    That didn't actually change
    after I was grown.
[17:41] Takeru
    I never even realized how I felt about you.
[17:45] Sumika
    It's cold.
[17:46] Takeru
    Sorry!
[17:48] Takeru
    I guess I should've known
    it wouldn't be that easy.
[17:50] Sumika
    No. Then you'll be cold, Takeru-chan.
[17:53] Takeru
    You wanna head back, then?
[17:56] Sumika
    No. I want to stay longer.
[17:59] Takeru
    But you're cold...
[18:00] Sumika
    If I stay close,
[18:03] Sumika
    I'll be warm.
[18:10] Takeru
    Sumika...
[18:14] Sumika
    It's warm.
[18:16] Sumika
    You're warm, Takeru-chan.
[18:20] Takeru
    How so?
[18:22] Takeru
    You're really warm, Takeru-chan.
[18:26] Takeru
    And?
[18:27] Sumika
    But then...
[18:29] Sumika
    One day, you weren't anymore.
[18:33] Sumika
    Takeru-chan... you stopped being warm.
[18:37] Takeru
    Sumika?
[18:39] Sumika
    I'll get revenge!
[18:40] Sumika
    They ruined it all!
[18:42] Sumika
    They took everything from me!
    All of it, gone!
[18:46] Takeru
    It's okay, Sumika! It's all right!
[18:46] Sumika
    I'll make them suffer like I did!
[18:50] Takeru
    Sumika, don't worry about that!
[18:52] Sumika
    Revenge!
[18:52] Takeru
    You're gonna have to fight in time!
[18:55] Takeru
    But when it happens, I'll be with you!
    I swear I won't leave you!
[19:07] Takeru
    So for now... just be yourself, Sumika.
[19:13] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[19:20] Sumika
    It hurts. It hurts, Takeru-chan.
[19:24] Takeru
    Sumika?
[19:25] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, help me.
[19:28] Takeru
    I'm right here! I'm by your side.
[19:32] Sumika
    You... really are. It's Takeru-chan.
[19:35] Takeru
    Sumika...
[19:37] Takeru
    Are you okay, Sumika?
[19:39] Sumika
    I can hear your voice.
[19:42] Sumika
    It smells like you.
[19:46] Takeru
    Sumika? Do you hear me?
[19:49] Sumika
    What are you talking about?
[19:51] Sumika
    Huh? What was I saying?
    I just want to kill them.
[19:57] Takeru
    H-Hey!
[19:59] Sumika
    It hurts. It really hurts.
    My head feels like it's gonna split.
[20:03] Takeru
    Sumika? Are you okay?
[20:09] Sumika
    It hurts! My head's gonna burst!
[20:12] Takeru
    Sumika—
[20:19] Sumika
    Guess what, Takeru-chan? I've got good news.
[20:26] Sumika
    I can finally get revenge on them.
    For the way they killed you.
[20:32] Sumika
    I'll kill every last one. Just wait, okay?
[20:35] Takeru
    They killed me?
[20:47] Yuuko
    Well, this is just fantastic!
SIGN    December 22 2001
[20:49] Yuuko
    Still a work in progress,
    but no complaints on my end.
[20:52] Yuuko
    She should be able to head out
    for the assessment on the 25th
[20:56] Yuuko
