**[02:46] Sumireko; narration**
I have a friend who's never at a loss
for something to say: Adashino Ren.
**[02:49] Sumireko; narration**
This is but a humble account
of our friendship and parting.
**[02:54] Sumireko**
He still hasn't read it.
**[02:56] Sumireko**
What's the deal?
***SIGN*** The device you are trying to reach is either outside the service area or—
**[03:17] Oto**
Good morning.
**[03:19] Uname**
Good morning, Oto-san!
**[03:26] Oto**
Uname-sensei, I'm sorry to make
you look after me like this again.
**[03:30] Uname**
It's perfectly all right! It's summer
vacation, so I have the day off, too.
**[03:36] Uname**
You said you wanted ramen for breakfast, so...
**[03:40] Uname**
I went all-out!
***SIGN*** The device you are trying to reach is either outside the service area or turned off.
**[03:58] Sumireko**
Don't tell me he blocked me...
**[04:05] Oto**
Thank you for the meal.
**[04:07] Uname**
Was it tasty?
**[04:08] Oto**
Yes! I've never had such
extravagant ramen before.
**[04:12] Uname**
I'm so glad!
**[04:13] Uname**
You can come over again
any time you want, okay?
**[04:16] Oto**
Thank you.
**[04:20] Oto**
So...
**[04:24] Oto**
I have a favor to ask.
**[04:30] Uname**
What is it?
**[04:49] Oto**
Sensei...
**[04:51] Oto**
Thank you for doing this.
**[04:54] Uname**
Yes, of course. Just leave it to me!
**[05:00] Oto**
Well, if you'll excuse me.
**[05:03] Uname**
Safe travels!
**[05:06] Oto**
Sensei...
**[05:09] Oto**
Thank you so much.
**[05:18] Uname**
Take care of yourself.
***SIGN*** KISARAGI
**[05:48] Old Man**
Hey!
**[05:50] Adashino**
O-Old man?
**[05:53] Adashino**
Why are you here?
**[05:55] Old Man**
Normally, I'd never come
to a place like this.
**[05:59] Old Man**
There's been a cat prowling
around here lately, right?
**[06:02] Old Man**
But I know how complicated your situation is,
so I came with a little advice.
**[06:06] Adashino**
Advice?
**[06:07] Old Man**
You're leaving tomorrow, right?
**[06:08] Adashino**
What if I am? And what do you mean,
my situation is complicated?
**[06:13] Old Man**
Do you really want me to say it?
**[06:15] Adashino**
S-Say what?
**[06:17] Old Man**
You have no intention of going back
with your little sister, do you?
**[06:22] Old Man**
Uh-oh.
***SIGN*** KISARAGI
**[06:24] Old Man**
The cat'll be here soon.
**[06:38] Oto**
*Ren-nii, did something happen?*
**[06:41] Adashino**
* Oto, there's something*
* I want to talk to you about.*
**[06:46] (Flashback) Adashino**
Tomorrow, we'll be going back
on the evening train.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Oto**
Yeah...
**[06:52] (Flashback) Adashino**
And you'll be going on the
first train by yourself.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Oto**
By myself? Why?
**[07:01] (Flashback) Adashino**
There are still some things I have left to do.

**[07:05] (Flashback) Adashino**
I'll come after you on the next train.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Oto**
Then I'll go on that train with you!
**[07:11] (Flashback) Adashino**
We can't, because of the way
the ticketing worked out.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Adashino**
So you'll go first,
and I'll be right after you.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Oto**
Is it okay if I sleep over
somewhere tonight, too?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Adashino**
When will you be back?
**[07:31] (Flashback) Oto**
Tomorrow morning.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Adashino**
Make sure you come back safely.
**[07:48] Oto**
Who are you?
**[07:52] Cat Sovereign**
Are you the little sister, meow?
**[07:54] Oto**
What do you want?
**[07:55] Cat Sovereign**
They say you're Mysterious
Disappearances' little sister.
**[07:59] Cat Sovereign**
Is that true?
**[08:00] Oto**
What?
**[08:01] Cat Sovereign**
Did you really believe that?
**[08:08] Oto**
You're the one getting in
Ren-nii's way, aren't you?
**[08:11] Oto**
Hiss!
**[08:15] Cat Sovereign**
Maybe I'll have you die
along with your Ren-nii.
**[08:19] Adashino**
Stop it.
**[08:20] Cat Sovereign**
Huh?
**[08:22] Adashino**
You have no business with Oto.
Don't you lay a finger on her.
**[08:26] Cat Sovereign**
I told you, didn't I? I can't have you
going around getting rid of Curiosities.
**[08:32] Adashino**
Then there's no problem.
Oto and I will both be gone soon.
**[08:36] Adashino**
I won't get in your way anymore.
**[08:39] Cat Sovereign**
Are you being serious?
**[08:40] Adashino**
I am.
**[08:43] Sumireko**
That blasted kid!
**[08:45] Sumireko**
What happened to that promise
to read my new novel?
**[08:49] Cat Sovereign**
Then does that mean you'll
never appear before me again?
**[08:53] Adashino**
That's what it means.
***SIGN*** KISARAGI
**[08:57] Cat Sovereign**
If that's true, then it's very good news!
**[09:00] Cat Sovereign**
But how are you going to prove it to me?
**[09:03] Adashino**
We're taking this evening's train.
**[09:06] Adashino**
And then we'll be gone.
**[09:08] Adashino**
You'll be able to sense that, won't you?
**[09:12] Cat Sovereign**
I see.
**[09:13] Cat Sovereign**
Then I'll hold off on
killing you here and now.
**[09:17] Cat Sovereign**
In exchange, you'd better
not be lying to me.
**[09:19] Adashino**
If I'm lying, it's only about one thing.
**[09:21] Cat Sovereign**
Meow?
**[09:23] Adashino**
In any case, I won't be here anymore
after today. That is the truth.
***SIGN*** KISARAGI
**[09:27] Adashino**
Don't worry.
**[09:29] Cat Sovereign**
It seems you've escaped death for now.
**[09:31] Cat Sovereign**
Everyone! We're leaving.
**[09:42] Sumireko**
The new moon sits in the heart of blackness,
being stained darker and darker.
**[09:46] Sumireko**
The arrow of the crescent moon shoots
to the east, racing faster and faster.
**[09:51] Sumireko**
The half moon sinks, and for a moment,
it touches, growing rounder and rounder.
**[09:56] Sumireko**
Chasing the shadow of the night of the
full moon, around and around they go.

All right, Oto.
I'll be coming right after you.
**[10:58] Adashino**
Just wait for me.
**[11:03] Oto**
I...
**[11:05] Oto**
I've lived the last ten years believing
I was really your little sister.
**[11:11] Adashino**
Yeah.
**[11:12] Oto**
But earlier, I remembered.
**[11:15] Oto**
Something had appeared before me,
**[11:17] Oto**
and I was certain that my big brother
had caught up to me,
**[11:21] Oto**
so I called out, "Ren-nii!"
**[11:23] Oto**
But I was wrong.
**[11:25] Adashino**
Really?
**[11:26] Oto**
Back then, I called you Ren-nii...
**[11:30] Oto**
so you turned into a Curiosity
called Adashino Ren, didn't you?
**[11:35] Adashino**
That might be true.
**[11:38] Oto**
And that's why I can place a curse on you.
**[11:43] Adashino**
What do you mean?
**[11:45] Oto**
If you can't be there to see me living
happily, you won't be able to bear it.
**[11:53] Oto**
That's why we have to see each other again.
**[11:57] Oto**
That's the curse.
**[11:59] Adashino**
Of course. And we'll be seeing
each other again very soon.
**[12:03] Oto**
And that was your one and only lie, wasn't it?
***SIGN*** The train is approaching

He really did disappear.
**[12:57] Sumireko**
Chasing the shadow of the night of the
full moon, around and around they go.
**[13:03] Old Man**
Well, now.
**[13:05] Old Man**
What's all this?
**[13:09] Old Man**
You don't see many Bearers of Youth around.
Are you the one Adashino-kun talked about?
**[13:14] Sumireko**
Huh?
**[13:19] Old Man**
Apparently, Adashino-kun's one regret is
that he never got to take a bath with you.
**[13:25] Sumireko**
Old man, how do you know about...
**[13:27] Old Man**
The train's already left the station.
**[13:30] Old Man**
But the little sister
was the only one on board.
**[13:33] Sumireko**
What? Then where's Adashino-kun?
**[13:35] Old Man**
Did you know that Adashino-kun and
his little sister weren't actually siblings?
**[13:41] Sumireko**
No. But what does that mean?
**[13:45] Old Man**
He finally confessed everything to me.
**[13:48] Old Man**
He said that Oto's brother,
the real Ren-nii, is over there.
**[13:53] Sumireko**
The "real Ren-nii"?
**[13:57] Old Man**
Do you want to know my name?
**[13:59] Sumireko**
I don't think I ever asked.
**[14:02] Old Man**
People call me the Old Man of Time and Space.
**[14:07] Old Man**
I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again.
**[14:15] Adashino**
*Please let me read a new work of yours.*
**[14:19] Adashino**
*I am your fan.*
**[14:21] (Flashback) Sumireko**
You'd better take responsibility for this
and make sure to read my new work.
**[14:26] Adashino**
*I promise I will.*

Good morning! It's Uname!
**[14:52] Sumireko**
Huh? Uname-sensei?
**[14:55] Uname**
I'm so sorry. I never asked for your email,
so I've just turned up out of the blue!
**[15:00] Uname**
I have some urgent business, you see.
**[15:04] Uname**
I'm impressed! This is exactly
how I'd picture a novelist's home!
**[15:08] Sumireko**
I'm sorry. This is all I have right now.
**[15:11] Uname**
I'm on summer vacation right now,
so it's totally okay!
**[15:14] Uname**
Oh, my! Is this the novel you talked about?
***SIGN*** Mysterious Disappearances
Ogawa Sumireko
**[15:17] Uname**
You've finished it?
**[15:19] Uname**
Then you've turned your dream into reality.
**[15:21] Sumireko**
No, it isn't quite done.
**[15:24] Sumireko**
But more importantly,
what was your urgent business?
**[15:26] Uname**
Oh, right.
**[15:28] Uname**
Here.
**[15:29] Sumireko**
That's Oto-chan's.
**[15:31] Uname**
She stopped by the day before yesterday.
**[15:33] Uname**
She had me take a video for her,
**[15:36] Uname**
and she begged me not to
let you see it before today.
**[15:41] Sumireko**
A video of Oto-chan?
**[15:43] Uname**
That's right.
**[15:44] Uname**
Will you watch it now?
**[15:46] Sumireko**
Of course.
**[15:55] Oto**
* Um, apartment wife...*
* I'm going away without seeing you first.*
**[16:01] Oto**
*I'm sorry for that.*
**[16:03] Oto**
* We went to school together,*
* and to the bathhouse.*
**[16:08] Oto**
*And you let me sleep over.*
**[16:12] Oto**
* You worked so hard with me*
* to help Shizuku-san.*
**[16:16] Oto**
*And you treated me to ramen. It was so good.*
**[16:21] Oto**
*You saved Nodoka for me, too.*
**[16:25] Oto**
*I never once said thank you, so...*
**[16:30] Oto**
*So I'll say it now, okay?*
**[16:38] Oto**
*Thank you, Sumireko-san...*
**[16:44] Oto**
*I'm sorry.*
**[16:47] Oto**
*Sumireko-san!*
**[17:02] Uname**
Oto-san told me something.
**[17:04] Uanme**
She said it was because she met you
**[17:08] Uanme**
that this world became so very, very fun!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

How many years has it been?
**[18:01] Sumireko**
I apologize for my long absence.
**[18:04] Sumireko**
I, um...
**[18:06] Sumireko**
I brought this as thanks.
**[18:08] Sumireko**
It's a new novel of mine.

**[18:19] Honhime**
I'll read it right away. Why don't
you have a look around the shop?

I will.

In that moment, Julia looked

**[18:43] Sumireko; reading**
When I turned around,
I realized that it was all over.
**[18:47] Sumireko; reading**
The person standing there was my wife.
**[18:49] Sumireko; reading**
And from behind the frozen mask
of her expression, she said,
**[18:53] Sumireko; reading**
'I hope you'll be very happy.'"
**[18:55] Sumireko**
I've finally found it.
**[18:58] Honhime**
Young lady?
**[19:00] Sumireko**
Yes?
**[19:02] Honhime**
Say, why does this "Mysterious
Disappearances" fellow in the story
**[19:06] Honhime**
never end up reading the heroine's
completed new novel?
**[19:12] Sumireko**
Well...
**[19:14] Sumireko**
I don't know the answer myself.
**[19:18] Honhime**
You're the one who wrote it,
but you don't know?
**[19:22] Sumireko**
That's right. I'm sorry.
**[19:24] Honhime**
I have a thought.
**[19:25] Sumireko**
Huh?
**[19:26] Honhime**
This Mysterious Disappearances...
**[19:28] Honhime**
He never read the new novel
that he'd promised to.
**[19:31] Honhime**
In short, he's deliberately giving
himself regrets tied to this world.
**[19:34] Honhime**
In leaving these regrets,
he's trying to hold himself here.
**[19:38] Honhime**
That's how much he must love
something here in this world.
**[19:42] Sumireko**
How do you know that?
**[19:45] Honhime**
After reading tens of thousands of books,
you start to understand a little.
**[19:51] Sumireko**
I'll rewrite that part!
**[19:54] Honhime**
You mustn't.
**[19:55] Honhime**
Within the confines of this novel,
the heroine doesn't know that.
**[20:00] Honhime**
That's why it works.
**[20:02] Honhime**
If you rewrite it, Mysterious Disappearances'
feelings will come to an end.
**[20:05] Sumireko**
His feelings will end?

**[20:42] Sumireko**
If you're Adashino-kun, then please listen!
**[20:44] Sumireko**
The truth is, there's something I haven't said.
**[20:47] Sumireko**
It seems I'm no good without you around.
**[20:51] Sumireko**
I don't feel like writing anything.
**[20:53] Sumireko**
You have to teach me all those new things!
**[20:56] Sumireko**
Which means... Which means...
