[00:07] Yoroi
    It's a pleasure to meet you,
     Shirogane Takeru-kun.
[00:14] Takeru
    Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow...
[00:16] Yoroi
    This is convincing if it's artificial.
[00:19] Yoroi
    Someone does fine work.
[00:22] Takeru
    This isn't a joke!
[00:24] Yoroi
    And yet it's funny.
[00:25] Takeru
    What is your deal?!
[00:26] Takeru
    He was on me before I knew it.
[00:29] Yoroi
    It really is you, isn't it?
[00:35] Yoroi
    There's no need for such caution,
     Yashiro Kasumi-chan.
[00:45] Takeru
    Who the hell is this guy?
[00:48] Yuuko
    Exactly what are you doing in my office?
[00:52] Yuuko
    Does the Imperial Ministry of Intelligence
    have no sense of decorum?
[00:55] Yuuko
    Or do you have an appointment
    I wasn't told about?
[00:59] Takeru
    The Imperial Ministry of Intelligence?!
[01:01] Takeru
    Then this guy's a spy?
[01:05] Yoroi
    I just thought I'd introduce
    myself to the boy, that's all.
[01:09] Yoroi
    I'm with the Imperial Ministry of Intelligence's
     2nd Foreign Affairs Division,
[01:13] Yoroi
    and my name is Yoroi Sakon.
SIGN    Yoroi Sakon
[02:47] Takeru
    Y-Yoroi as in...
SIGN    Transfer Experiment
[02:49] Yoroi
    I hear you take good care of my son.
[02:52] Takeru
    Son?
[02:54] Yoroi
    Well, more like a tomboy of a daughter.
[02:57] Yoroi
    My apologies.
[03:00] Takeru
    This guy just says whatever he wants...
[03:01] Takeru
    Which makes me pretty
    sure he is Mikoto's dad.
[03:10] Mikoto
    All right, it worked!
[03:13] Mikoto
    There we go...
[03:15] Mikoto
    Synthetic food doesn't provide everything
    a growing body needs, after all.
[03:21] Mikoto
    Who's that?
[03:28] Mikoto
    Kei-san?
[03:32] Yuuko
    So, what brings you by this time?
[03:35] Yoroi
    Some news regarding the XG-70s.
[03:38] Yuuko
    Why would there be news at this point?
[03:39] Yuuko
    I'm still getting all of them, right?
[03:42] Yoroi
    It's not looking quite so simple anymore.
[03:45] Yuuko
    And what do you mean by that?
[03:47] Yoroi
    Certain factions within the imperial military
     have been making some ominous moves lately.
[03:53] Yoroi
    You're aware of the formation of a
    so-called "Strategic Studies Group"?
[03:58] Yuuko
    Can't say that I care.
[03:59] Yoroi
    You're smart enough to
    realize that you should.
[04:04] Yoroi
    If they were to take action,
[04:07] Yoroi
    it would create a political and
    military power vacuum in Japan.
[04:11] Yoroi
    What do you suppose a certain country,
[04:14] ---
    the anti-Alternative forces,
[04:16] ---
    and other oppositional factions
    within the UN will do, then?
[04:20] Yoroi
    It only stands to reason that the plans
    for the XG-70s would be affected...
[04:25] Yoroi
    To say nothing of your broader agenda.
[04:29] Yuuko
    I'm convinced. Can we get to the point, now?
[04:33] Yoroi
    Well, there was recently a top-priority
    order that came through...
[04:38] ---
    an alternate chain of command.
[04:40] Yoroi
    Directed at the North American HQ
     for the UN Space Force.
[04:45] Yoroi
    Can you imagine how troubling that must be?
[04:47] ---
    Being asked to keep an eye out
    for one of your own HSSTs?
[04:51] Yoroi
    On top of specific coordinates to watch?
[04:54] Yoroi
    It made for a panicked day
    at Edwards, I tell you.
[04:58] Yoroi
    Even if it wasn't under their purview anymore,
     I can understand the reluctance.
[05:02] Yoroi
    Then there's the BETA
    landing from the other day.
[05:05] Yoroi
    How were those units in the
    perfect place to respond?
[05:09] Yuuko
    Beats me. Ask the person who gave the order.
[05:13] Yoroi
    And then there's our
    resident living dead man.
[05:17] Yoroi
    Divine intervention or devilish deception?
[05:20] Yoroi
    Those are the two possibilities I can think of,
[05:23] Yoroi
    but I'd love to hear an actual explanation.
[05:29] Yuuko
    Are you sure that's what
    you're actually here for?
[05:32] Yuuko
    Besides, can't you figure it out yourself?
[05:34] Yuuko
    That is your job, isn't it?
[05:37] Yoroi
    Well, now my ears are burning.
[05:39] Yoroi
    I suppose I'll have to investigate
    things the old-fashioned way for a bit.
[05:45] Yoroi
    Shirogane Takeru-kun, we'll meet again.
[05:58] Takeru
    Mikoto's dad...
[06:01] Takeru
    I never met him in the last world.
[06:05] Takeru
    That means things are
    starting to change, right?
[06:13] (Flashback) Takeru
    Okay, first person to scream
    has to pay for lunch, got it?
[06:18] (Flashback) Sumika
    Thanks in advance!
[06:24] Takeru
    Another dream about Sumika...
[06:29] Takeru
    Maybe I'm...
[06:32] Yuuko
    And these dreams have been
    happening frequently?
[06:35] Takeru
    I wouldn't say that, but every
    now and then, since the CCSE.
[06:44] Yuuko
    Good timing, actually. Let's take a look.
[06:46] Takeru
    Take a look... at my dreams?
[06:49] Yuuko
    Did you forget that you're
    a drifter from another world?
[06:53] Yuuko
    If this involves that world,
    then it's worth examining.
[06:57] Shirogane
    But how?
[07:00] Yuuko
    All you need to do is go to sleep.
[07:08] Yuuko
    Okay, let's get started.
[07:10] Yuuko
    Yashiro.
[07:19] (Flashback) Takeru
    Where am I?
[07:20] (Flashback) Sumika
    Takeru-chan, wake up!
[07:23] (Flashback) Sumika
    It's already morning! You're gonna be late!
[07:28] (Flashback) Sumika
    Takeru-chan!
[07:34] Yuuko
    How'd it go?
[07:35] Takeru
    Well, I did dream...
[07:37] Yuuko
    Was that really all it was?
[07:40] Yuuko
    While you were dreaming,
[07:43] ---
    I'm pretty sure that Shirogane Takeru
    returned to his original world.
[07:48] Takeru
    What, did I disappear or something?!
[07:51] Yuuko
    You didn't...
[07:53] Yuuko
    But at a certain point,
    we couldn't track your brainwaves.
[07:56] Takeru
    Are you saying—
[07:57] Yuuko
    You still had other life signs, of course.
[08:01] Takeru
    How was I able to go back?
[08:05] Yuuko
    You're extraordinary as it is.
[08:07] Yuuko
    The idea of a lapse in consciousness
[08:09] ---
    resulting in a slip between
    worlds isn't that strange.
[08:14] Takeru
    It can't be!
[08:15] Yuuko
    You know the truth better than anyone else.
[08:20] Takeru
    I can't go back home now...
[08:23] Takeru
    I have to save this world!
[08:25] Yuuko
    I think the issue might have something to do
    with the equilibrium between the two worlds.
[08:32] Yuuko
    You remaining anchored in this world
    is tied to your cognizance of it,
[08:37] ---
    and other people's cognizance of you.
[08:39] Yuuko
    But your original world was destabilized
    with the removal of its Shirogane Takeru.
[08:46] Yuuko
    So it's trying to pull you back.
[08:49] Takeru
    It is?
[08:51] Yuuko
    And it's only effective
    when you're not conscious.
[08:54] Yuuko
    Granted, this is all a theory.
[08:57] Takeru
    So if I wanted to go back to
    my old world badly enough...
[09:01] Yuuko
    I imagine your perception
    of your original world
[09:03] ---
    would be able to easily overwrite
    your recognition of this one.
[09:07] Yuuko
    Right now, it's never been
    easier for you to go home.
[09:13] Takeru
    I can go back?
[09:15] Takeru
    To the peaceful world I came from?
[09:19] Takeru
    Not yet.
[09:21] Takeru
    I have something left to do in this world!
[09:25] Takeru
    I never want to feel that way again!
[09:30] Yuuko
    Well, we're going to need to send you back
    temporarily to accomplish that, anyway.
[09:37] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
[09:39] Yuuko
    If this experiment works, it should
    help stabilize your condition, too.
[09:44] Yuuko
    I need you to retrieve those
    formulas I came up with.
[09:48] Yuuko
    That being the case, you and
    Yashiro are roommates now.
[09:59] Takeru
    What the hell is she thinking?
[10:02] Takeru
    I mean, yeah,
[10:04] ---
    getting those formulas might mean a
    bunch of progress on Alternative IV...
[10:07] Takeru
    Which will result in me
    going back to my old world.
[10:11] Takeru
    But what's Kasumi got to do with that?
[10:29] Meiya
    It's rare to see Yashiro eating in the PX.
[10:33] Takeru
    Yeah, it's a whole thing.
[10:37] Kasumi
    Here.
[10:39] Kasumi
    Say, "Ahh..."
[10:42] (Flashback) Sumika
    Say, "Ahh!"
[10:47] Sakaki
    Shirogane...
[10:50] Sakaki
    What is with you?
[10:52] Mikoto
    She's feeding you?! Seriously?!
[10:52] Meiya
    You and Yashiro seem to have grown
    quite intimate in short order.
[10:54] Tama
    She is! She's really feeding him!
[10:58] Kasumi
    Did I do it wrong?
[11:00] Takeru
    N-Not technically, no.
[11:04] Meiya
    I hate to interrupt this delightful
    little meal, but how about an explanation?
[11:10] Takeru
    N-Now hang on!
[11:11] Takeru
    You guys are clearly misinterpreting this—
[11:14] Takeru
    No! Make it stop!
[11:20] Kasumi
    I guess I did it wrong?
SIGN    December 1st, 2001
[11:23] Yuuko
    For you to return to your original world,
    you need a strong desire to go back,
[11:28] Yuuko
    everyone around you needs to
    lose track of your existence,
[11:31] Yuuko
    and your old world's pull on
    you needs to become stronger.
[11:34] Yuuko
    These are the three factors
    we need to address.
[11:39] Yuuko
    This machine was built to restore you
[11:41] ---
    to the state you were in before
    this world recognized you,
[11:44] Yuuko
    which should let you travel between worlds.
[11:47] Takeru
    And it's safe?
[11:49] Yuuko
    You won't die or anything.
[11:56] Takeru
    What's Kasumi doing?
[11:57] Takeru
    Does it have something to do with
    why we've been living together?
[12:01] Yuuko
    Until this experiment succeeds,
    you're going to remain in flux.
[12:06] Yuuko
    Yashiro's job is to keep you
    anchored here in the meantime.
[12:11] Yuuko
    All right, let's get started.
[12:19] Takeru
    I guess I have to do this!
[12:27] Takeru
    What's she...
[12:29] Kasumi
    Ready.
[12:30] Yuuko
    Okay, you need to clearly
    imagine yourself in your old world!
[12:34] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:45] Takeru
    My old world.
[12:46] Takeru
    My old... world...
[13:05] Takeru
    S-S-Sumika?!
[13:09] Takeru
    It's her!
[13:11] Takeru
    It's really Sumika!
[13:13] ---
    She's moving! And talking!
[13:16] Takeru
    Sumika, it's me!
[13:18] Takeru
    You really oughta lock the door
    when you use the bathroom, okay?
[13:22] Takeru
    Huh?
[13:23] Takeru
    Otherwise, you're just asking
    for this kind of thing to happen.
[13:24] Takeru
    What is this?!
[13:27] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, you jerk!
[13:40] Yuuko
    Would you please take this seriously?!
[13:44] Takeru
    It worked! I was back in my world!
[13:47] Yuuko
    Of course you were!
[13:49] Yuuko
    How did it go?
[13:52] Takeru
    I couldn't actually do anything.
[13:54] Takeru
    I tried to talk, but different words came out.
[13:57] Takeru
    And Sumika didn't react.
[14:00] Yuuko
    You weren't able to actually interfere
    with the other side's events...
[14:03] Yuuko
    You must not have fully materialized.
[14:08] Takeru
    Right in the face...
[14:11] Takeru
    She never changes.
[14:14] Takeru
    Sumika...
[14:19] Takeru
    Kasumi?!
[14:22] Takeru
    What's wrong ?!
[14:24] Takeru
    Hey! You okay?!
[14:26] Yuuko
    I told her to sit down.
[14:29] Takeru
    Is she—
[14:30] Yuuko
    Her job requires an enormous
    amount of focus and stamina.
[14:33] Yuuko
    I can't say any more just yet.
[14:36] Yuuko
    I think we're done for today.
[14:39] Takeru
    Right.
[14:43] Takeru
    I'm sorry, Kasumi.
[14:50] Takeru
    You collapsed... Got so worn out...
[14:53] Takeru
    And I had no idea.
SIGN    December 2nd, 2001
[15:09] Yuuko
    Morning...
[15:10] Yuuko
    I've done everything I can.
[15:14] Yuuko
    You've got one shot to pull this off.
[15:19] Takeru
    I understand. I'll keep that
    in mind, and try my best.
[15:22] Yuuko
    "Try" your best?
[15:24] Yuuko
    If you're going to take that
    kind of half-assed attitude,
[15:26] ---
    I'll just break the entire machine down!
[15:29] Yuuko
    This thing takes an inordinate amount
    of electricity to use, all right?!
[15:33] Yuuko
    These experiments cannot drag out any longer!
[15:36] Yuuko
    People who come up with excuses to fail
    are never going to accomplish anything!
[15:41] Yuuko
    No one cares how hard you try!
[15:44] Yuuko
    You have to dive in, head first,
    dead-set on getting the job done
[15:47] ---
    to make any real progress!
[15:49] Yuuko
    I thought you wanted to
    save all of humanity?!
[15:53] Takeru
    Sensei... I remember now.
[15:57] Takeru
    I know what I need to do.
[15:59] Takeru
    Save this world!
[16:01] Takeru
    Then, one day, when this nightmare
    is over, I'm going back to my world!
[16:09] Yuuko
    Take this with you.
[16:11] Takeru
    What is it?
[16:12] Yuuko
    Hand it to the other me,
    and explain what's going on.
[16:16] Yuuko
    She should believe you once
    she sees what's inside.
[16:20] Yuuko
    Too much interference with the
    other world is asking for trouble.
[16:25] Yuuko
    You should avoid contact
    with anyone other than me.
[16:28] Yuuko
    Understood?
[16:30] Takeru
    Got it!
[16:33] Mikoto
    Miki-san, could you hand me a torque wrench?
[16:36] Tama
    Okay!
[16:38] Tama
    The power's out?
[16:39] Mikoto
    Huh?
[16:44] Yuuko
    Are you ready, Shirogane?
[16:47] Takeru
    Yeah!
[16:48] Takeru
    Three years ago. The world I used to live in.
[16:51] Kasumi
    Power from sources one
    through four are stable.
[16:55] Yuuko
    It's not enough power.
[16:57] Yuuko
    Yashiro, bring five and six online, too.
[16:59] Kasumi
    Right.
[16:59] Yuuko
    If you can get those formulas,
    I'll be able to finish the 00-Unit!
[17:04] Yuuko
    Once that's done...
[17:06] Takeru
    I have to remember. This was a school!
[17:09] Takeru
    We all went here.
[17:12] Takeru
    Sumika was by my side, and I never even
    considered being separated from her.
[17:16] Takeru
    I finally remember!
[17:20] Takeru
    I want to go back to my world.
[17:23] Takeru
    And I want to see Sumika again!
[17:41] Takeru
    The town's intact.
[17:44] Takeru
    My legs... My hands...
[17:49] Takeru
    I'm here!
[17:53] Takeru
    I'm back in my old world!
[17:56] Takeru
    This is awesome, Yuuko-sensei!
[18:00] Takeru
    Huh...
[18:01] ---
    Should I really... be crying like this?
[18:05] Takeru
    I'm home!
[18:06] Takeru
    I'm back home!
[18:20] Takeru
    There's no time for getting lost in thought.
[18:22] ---
    I need to find Yuuko-sensei!
[18:23] Takeru
    Or this will have been a waste.
[18:27] Takeru
    Yuuko-sensei!
[18:29] Yuuko
    Huh?
[18:30] Yuuko
    This is a rare treat. What brings you by?
[18:33] Takeru
    It's really important!
[18:34] Yuuko
    If you want to beg for
    test answers, save your breath.
[18:37] Yuuko
    I heard about how you forgot
    your homework... again.
[18:39] Takeru
    I need you to take this seriously!
[18:42] Takeru
    There's no time!
[18:44] Yuuko
    That... is you, isn't it, Shirogane?
[18:52] Yuuko
    I see.
[18:54] Takeru
    I know this is probably
    all hard to believe.
[19:04] Yuuko
    Fantastic!
[19:06] Yuuko
    This is just fantastic, Shirogane!
[19:08] Yuuko
    This means my Quantum Causality Theory
     was right all along!
[19:13] Yuuko
    Man, I love being a genius!
[19:19] Yuuko
    It's been a while.
[19:21] Yuuko
    That's probably the thing to say, right?
[19:24] Takeru
    Sensei...
[19:26] Yuuko
    How long has it been since
    you were in this world?
[19:28] Takeru
    Well, from my subjective experience,
     about three years.
[19:32] Yuuko
    "Subjective experience," he says!
[19:36] Yuuko
    Still, that's long enough for
    someone to change, I guess.
[19:40] Yuuko
    Shirogane...
[19:42] Yuuko
    Do you miss this world?
[19:44] Takeru
    Yes.
[19:47] Yuuko
    Do you want to see Kagami and the others?
[19:51] Takeru
    Yes!
[19:53] Yuuko
    Then you need to tackle what you're trying
    to do with a strong sense of purpose.
[19:57] Yuuko
    To get what you want, you'll need
    to dedicate everything you have.
[20:01] Yuuko
    You're an entity that can travel between
    worlds through force of will.
[20:04] Yuuko
    That means you can change those worlds.
[20:07] Takeru
    But... I've never really gone
    between worlds on my own before.
[20:11] Yuuko
    What you're capable of going forward,
    and what's going to happen,
[20:15] ---
    are going to depend on what
    you want, and what you do.
[20:18] Yuuko
    You need to remember the weight of
    the responsibility you're carrying.
[20:22] Takeru
    Right.
[20:25] Yuuko
    As for the formulas you need,
     give me three days.
[20:28] Takeru
    Understood. Um, what day is it today, anyway?
[20:32] Yuuko
    November 26th.
[20:34] Takeru
    I'll be back for them, then.
[20:40] Yuuko
    Hey.
[20:42] Yuuko
    Salute for me, real quick.
[20:45] Yuuko
    You don't wanna?
[20:48] Takeru
    Not a problem.
[20:55] Takeru
    Excuse me, ma'am.
[21:02] Yuuko
    He looks like the real deal.
[21:06] Yuuko
    This is probably what makes
    being a teacher worth it.
[21:09] Yuuko
