**[00:07] Kyo**
Fine.
**[00:08] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[00:10] Kyo**
I said fine.
**[00:13] Kyo**
Pick the date and time you want to go.
**[00:26] Jun**
Oh, the monorail left.
**[00:28] Michitaka**
You just realized?
**[00:28] Kazuya**
Seriously?!
**[00:28] Jun**
Say something, Michitaka.
**[00:30] Michitaka**
Oh, uh, sorry... Me?
**[00:32] Jun**
Yeah, you.
***SIGN*** The Emperor Loves That Color #20AEE5
**[00:42] Kazuya**
You think this shirt is okay?
**[00:44] Jun**
This isn't a date, you know.
**[00:47] Jun**
More importantly, do you have tissues?
**[00:49] Jun**
Your handkerchief?
**[00:50] Kazuya**
You sound like your mom.
**[00:53] Jun**
Also, Michitaka has a message for you.
**[00:55] Michitaka**
"Beware the hannya's jealousy."
**[00:57] Kazuya**
The hannya?
**[00:58] Jun**
Oh!
**[01:00] Jun**
It's already 11:27!
**[01:01] Kazuya**
Crap! I'm gonna be late!
**[01:22] Kazuya**
H-He's really something, huh?
**[01:24] Kazuya**
He was already working as a pro
Artist before starting high school.
**[01:29] Kazuya**
Which is pretty special considering
the issue of a license, huh?
**[01:33] Kyo**
The first piece is apparently
one he did with Yura.
**[01:37] Kazuya**
Yura? Yura-senpai?
**[01:39] Kyo**
Yura Takumi.
**[01:41] Kyo**
He was Haijima's partner
during the Staircaser Contest.
**[01:44] Kazuya**
Oh.
**[01:46] Kazuya**
Oh yeah, Yura-senpai *did* say
he had a little brother.
**[01:50] Kyo**
You've spoken with him?
**[01:52] Kazuya**
Yeah. The Scribb—
**[01:55] Kazuya**
At the Staircaser Contest,
he praised our Perception Art.
**[02:02] Kyo**
Oh?
**[02:05] Kazuya**
But why Yura?
**[02:07] Kazuya**
I heard that a pro Grader
worked on all the pieces here.
**[02:24] Kazuya**
This is...
**[02:34] [SONG] Lyrics**
Everything, everywhere, overflowing
**[02:40] [SONG] Lyrics**
Anima interwoven with inspiration
**[02:46] [SONG] Lyrics**
Wait with bated breath
**[02:47] [SONG] Lyrics**
Instinct, I get to know
**[02:49] [SONG] Lyrics**
So, an aching style
**[02:51] [SONG] Lyrics**
We are moving forward
**[02:54] [SONG] Lyrics**
So make something from nothing
**[02:58] [SONG] Lyrics**
(Fight to feel it)
**[03:00] [SONG] Lyrics**
Act on
**[03:01] [SONG] Lyrics**
The shine flying around the depths of emotion
**[03:07] [SONG] Lyrics**
Pierced my heart
**[03:11] [SONG] Lyrics**
EVOCATIVE
**[03:13] [SONG] Lyrics**
Continually enticing the refrain of joy
**[03:19] [SONG] Lyrics**
The world is in my hands, release, inspire
**[03:36] Kyo**
Are you all right?
**[03:39] Kazuya**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:42] Kazuya**
Wow...
**[04:47] Kazuya**
Wow...
**[04:48] Kyo**
The power of Perception Art
to affect people's senses...
**[04:53] Kyo**
Haijima Iori is an Artist
who can demonstrate that to the fullest.
**[05:03] Boy B**
It feels like it's gotten colder!
**[05:04] Kyo**
The glare and the cold...
**[05:05] Boy C**
Yeah, it's cold!
**[05:07] Kyo**
He created all of this.
**[05:12] Kyo**
For better or worse,
**[05:14] Kyo**
Haijima can control what people
feel for a brief moment.
**[05:19] Kyo**
He's a rare Perception Artist.
**[05:53] Crowd**
Wow, is that magic?
**[05:55] Crowd**
I feel dizzy.
**[05:57] Crowd**
Are you okay?
**[06:09] Boy A**
Look at that bird!
**[06:11] Boy A**
Wait, wait!
**[06:22] Boy's Mom**
Are you all right?
**[06:23] Boy B**
Oh, it's Mr. Magician!
**[06:26] Boy C**
You're right!
**[06:27] Boy B**
Hey, I wanna do Perception Art too!
**[06:30] Iori**
You should try it someday.
**[06:35] Iori**
Hey.
**[06:38] Kyo**
You still like to put on a show, huh?
**[06:41] Iori**
You don't get it, do you?
**[06:44] Iori**
I like *me*.
**[06:46] Kyo**
I know.
**[06:54] Iori**
I heard from Mikuriya and Kirinoe
**[06:56] Iori**
that you're here to see me?
**[06:58] Kazuya**
I'm Yamanashi Kazuya!
**[07:00] Iori**
Yamanashi?
**[07:06] Iori**
Oh?
**[07:09] Iori**
So it was you...
**[07:11] Iori**
back then.
**[07:15] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[07:28] Iori**
Oh, don't worry about that.
**[07:30] Iori**
He's just a stalker.
**[07:31] Kazuya**
A stalker?!
**[07:33] Iori**
He's been my fan since I debuted.
**[07:35] Iori**
Then, before I realized it, he'd bought
a sponsorship for my exhibition
**[07:39] Iori**
and even managed to become my partner.
**[07:43] Takumi**
I can use my pocket money however I want.
**[07:46] Kazuya**
You're a sponsor?
**[07:48] Kazuya**
What's going on?
**[07:49] Kyo**
The Yura family is preeminent
in the art world.
**[07:53] Kyo**
They're well off, with influence in lots
of fields, not just Perception Art.
**[07:59] Kyo**
The younger son is set
to take over the family business.
**[08:02] Kazuya**
You're saying he's super rich.
**[08:05] Iori**
That has nothing to do with me, though.
**[08:08] Iori**
I mean, I'll gratefully use what I can.
**[08:12] Takumi**
It's fine if you just want my money.
**[08:16] Takumi**
I will definitely become your
exclusive Grader someday and—
**[08:20] Iori**
That might be too ambitious for a rookie,
**[08:24] Iori**
young master.
**[08:27] Takumi**
Sorry.
**[08:29] Kazuya**
He *apologized*?
**[08:31] Iori**
You should get a Grader you can use, too.
**[08:35] Iori**
Not like the hardheaded Takise.
**[08:38] Kazuya**
Someone I can use?
**[08:41] Kazuya**
Um, this might be weird for me to say,
**[08:44] Kazuya**
but maybe you could treat Graders—
**[08:46] Takumi**
Shut up, homewrecker.
**[08:48] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[08:49] Takumi**
I've seen so many people try
to suck up to Iori-san like that.
**[08:55] Takumi**
I've exterminated every single one of them.
**[08:58] Kazuya**
"Exterminated"?!
**[08:59] Kazuya**
Anyway, I'm not sucking up to him!
**[09:02] Kazuya**
Hey, don't ignore me! Or glare at me!
**[09:02] Kyo**
You make a good team.
**[09:04] Kyo**
You should get him to
be your exclusive Grader.
**[09:06] Iori**
You know, don't you?
**[09:07] Iori**
That I enjoy free love.
**[09:11] Kyo**
I...
**[09:13] Kyo**
hate Artists like you the most.
**[09:34] Kazuya**
Should I not have asked you to come?
**[09:37] Kyo**
It's fine. It's not so
awkward after all this time.
**[09:42] Kyo**
Haijima is talented.
**[09:44] Kyo**
But he's arrogant.
**[09:48] Kyo**
Teams where Artists hold the power will fail.
**[09:52] Kyo**
He's probably satisfied
just doing what he wants,
**[09:55] Kyo**
but he doesn't know how dangerous that is.
**[09:58] Kazuya**
Dangerous...? What do you mean?
**[10:11] Kazuya**
Does it have something to do with
why you wanted to become a Grader?
**[10:20] Kazuya**
Kyo...
**[10:22] Kyo**
Sorry, I'm going on home.
**[10:41] Jun**
So, what about the Scribble?
**[10:44] Jun**
Did you ask Haijima-senpai?
**[10:46] Kazuya**
I forgot...
**[10:47] Jun**
How could you?!
**[10:50] Iori**
Ah, there you are.
**[10:54] Iori**
Come with me for a moment, Yamanashi Kazuya.
**[10:57] Kazuya**
Huh? But what about class?
**[11:01] Iori**
Skip it.
**[11:04] Chiharu**
Oh?
**[11:06] Chiharu**
His Imperial Majesty of the Artist
track is with Bell Pepper-kun.
**[11:36] Kazuya**
Is this a studio?
**[11:38] Iori**
Working in a cramped room doesn't suit me.
**[11:45] Kazuya**
I-If you drew in a supported space
like this, it'd be a Scribble, right...?
**[11:51] Iori**
What? I've applied for permission, of course.
**[11:58] Kazuya**
Um, to tell you the truth,
I wanted to talk to you.
**[12:01] Iori**
Yeah, Mikuriya and Kirinoe
said something about that.
**[12:05] Iori**
But everyone who wants an interview with me
pays good money for the privilege.
**[12:09] Kazuya**
That's not...
**[12:13] Iori**
Enough about me.
**[12:15] Iori**
Tell me about you two.
**[12:16] Kazuya**
"You two"?
**[12:18] Iori**
You're childhood friends, right?
**[12:20] Iori**
You and my former partner.
**[12:23] Kazuya**
Y-Yeah...
**[12:25] Iori**
It's a strange feeling.
**[12:28] Iori**
I've never seen Takise use his "don't
bother me" shield on anyone other than me.
**[12:31] Sign**
Stab
**[12:32] Kazuya**
"Don't bother me" shield?
**[12:35] Iori**
Did teaming up with him go that badly?
**[12:42] Kazuya**
I'm not really sure myself...
**[12:46] Kazuya**
There were ups and downs.
**[12:50] Kazuya**
I feel like I'm at his mercy.
**[12:56] Iori**
That's because you're
too obsessed with Takise.
**[13:00] Iori**
It's the same as being head over heels.
**[13:02] Iori**
When we get too obsessed, we lose.
**[13:04] Kazuya**
You can say that because you're so popular.
**[13:08] Kazuya**
And Yura's weak, anyway.
**[13:10] Kazuya**
Even the visitors called you a magician.
**[13:16] Iori**
I'm no magician.
**[13:20] Iori**
Perception Art isn't something
that only belongs to an elite few.
**[13:24] Iori**
Anyone can make it if they want.
**[13:27] Iori**
They are the potential
that brings new color to the world.
**[13:40] Iori**
If you're going to be dejected
either way, do what you want.
**[13:43] Iori**
You have talent.
**[13:44] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[13:46] Kazuya**
Huh?!
**[13:47] Iori**
Be grateful.
**[13:49] Iori**
There are only three other Perception
Artists whose talent I recognize.
**[13:54] Kazuya**
Three...
**[13:56] Kazuya**
Isn't that kind of a lot?
**[13:57] Iori**
Two were my teachers.
**[14:00] Kazuya**
Who's the third?
**[14:13] Takumi**
Iori-san!
**[14:15] Takumi**
I called you, but...
**[14:16] Iori**
What happened?
**[14:18] Takumi**
There's a problem.
**[14:23] Michitaka**
* That performance art piece*
* that you went to see, Kazuya?*
**[14:26] Sign**
Haijima Iori Exhibition
**[14:27] Michitaka**
* There was a complaint involving a child*
* who almost got hurt while watching.*
**[14:31] Michitaka**
*It looks like the organizers and Grader*
**[14:32] Michitaka**
* are going to impose an age limit*
* on visitors to the exhibition.*
**[14:39] Kazuya**
An age limit?!
**[14:40] Jun**
Well, they can't just shut it down.
**[14:44] Jun**
It's the showpiece of the exhibit.
**[14:53] Takumi**
I'll go back first.
**[14:54] Takumi**
There's something I need to do.
**[14:56] Iori**
Okay.
**[15:03] Jun**
Scary.
**[15:04] Iori**
Ambushing me like this...
**[15:06] Iori**
Getting back at me for this afternoon?
**[15:08] Kazuya**
I was worried about your exhibition.
**[15:14] Kazuya/Jun**
You're removing it?!
**[15:16] Jun**
You're going to stop doing
the performance completely?
**[15:18] Iori**
Yeah.
**[15:20] Iori**
The performance itself
**[15:22] Iori**
and the audience viewing
it are part of the work.
**[15:26] Iori**
The goal was for anyone with the desire
**[15:30] Iori**
to experience seeing and
drawing Perception Art.
**[15:34] Iori**
If we impose a limit,
**[15:36] Iori**
that's out the window.
**[15:38] Iori**
It won't be my work anymore.
**[15:43] Iori**
Perception Art colors the world.
**[15:46] Iori**
Even if something gets colored over...
**[15:49] Iori**
Even then, I wouldn't erase the new color
that might be born from it.
**[15:56] Kazuya**
The new color...?
**[16:00] Jun**
Kazuya?
**[16:01] Kazuya**
In that case, you shouldn't
stop the performance.
**[16:05] Iori**
What?
**[16:06] Kazuya**
You'd ultimately be stealing the potential
**[16:10] Kazuya**
of anyone who might be moved by it
or have dreams for the future.
**[16:28] Iori**
That's good.
**[16:30] Iori**
Help me, Kazuya.
**[16:42] Kyo**
You two sure are looking friendly.
**[16:45] Chiharu**
Well, Nanba brought some
interesting information.

Opening an outdoor gallery without notice?
**[16:56] Sign**
Doesn't Haijima Iori have an exhibition out right now?
**[16:57] Sign**
I went to it!
**[16:58] Sign**
There was a long line
**[17:04] Jun**
While wearing Goggles, make sure
you stay with your moms and dads!
**[17:08] Kazuya**
When you want to touch something,
pay attention to your surroundings.
**[17:11] Kazuya**
Make sure you don't fall!
**[17:12] Kids**
Okay!
**[17:15] Mom A**
This is great. My child wanted to see this.
**[17:18] Mom B**
Mine too!
**[17:21] Iori**
Perception Art isn't a fantasy. It's reality.
**[17:24] Iori**
It was born from the world
we stand in. It's real.
**[17:28] Iori**
That's what's scary about it. But...
**[17:32] Kid**
It's fun!
**[17:34] Iori**
Right?
**[17:42] Iori**
Who could it be?
**[17:45] Yanagi**
*It's Yanagi.*
**[17:46] Yanagi**
There's been a complaint
from your exhibit organizers.
**[17:49] Yanagi**
They're very upset you decided
to open your studio for free
**[17:52] Yanagi**
while the exhibition is ongoing.
**[17:55] Iori**
*They're so greedy.*
**[17:58] Yanagi**
You understand, don't you?
**[18:01] Yanagi**
Until you graduate from Eisen,
**[18:03] Yanagi**
it's like you're driving
with a provisional license.
**[18:06] Yanagi**
*If you keep brute-forcing things now,*
**[18:09] Yanagi**
* they might prevent you from getting*
* a real license down the line.*
**[18:15] Iori**
My job is to draw things.
**[18:17] Iori**
The rest is my Grader's job, isn't it?
**[18:20] Kazuya**
You mean...
**[18:24] Iori**
If he were just a stalker,
**[18:27] Iori**
there's no way I'd keep him around, right?
**[18:30] Organizer**
Hey!
**[18:33] Iori**
He's...
**[18:37] Iori**
a man worthy of my favor.
**[18:44] Takumi**
This is a contract
for the purchase of the exhibit.
**[18:47] Organizer**
You're just a student with no official
license. What are you saying—
**[18:51] Takumi**
I'm not purchasing it as a Grader.
**[18:53] Takumi**
This is a personal purchase
by me, Yura Takumi.
**[18:57] Takumi**
If you're going to be involved in art,
**[18:59] Takumi**
then not listening to those who are upset
and taking the easy way out
**[19:04] Takumi**
wrongs both sides.
**[19:06] Takumi**
You can't just pretend
something didn't happen.
**[19:09] Takumi**
That's why, in order to safeguard
what's important,
**[19:14] Takumi**
do not deny an opportunity
for dialogue and improvement.
**[19:17] Organizer**
What are *you* saying is important?
**[19:21] Takumi**
Haijima Iori.
**[19:24] Takumi**
And the new possibilities created
by the people who see his works.
**[19:28] Takumi**
Haijima Iori is the future of Perception Art.
**[19:31] Takumi**
In order to protect him,
I will spare no expense.
**[19:55] Takumi**
Did you need something?
**[19:56] Kazuya**
He waited to thank you for
what you did, didn't he?
**[19:59] Kazuya**
I'm glad you got his approval.
**[20:01] Takumi**
This doesn't concern you.
**[20:04] Kazuya**
Hey, is that the only way
you know how to talk?
**[20:08] Kazuya**
I thought it was amazing,
so you could at least hear me out.
**[20:12] Takumi**
Stop saying "amazing" like it
doesn't mean anything. Iori-san is—
**[20:16] Kazuya**
It's not just him.
**[20:22] Kazuya**
You're amazing, too.
**[20:23] Takumi**
Huh?
**[20:25] Kazuya**
What you did for Iori-senpai and that piece
**[20:28] Kazuya**
wasn't magic or a miracle.
**[20:31] Kazuya**
Because of Graders like you, we...
**[20:37] Kazuya**
You know, you really are a partner
Haijima-senpai can be proud of.
**[20:45] Takumi**
That's not true.
**[21:01] (Flashback) Iori (young)**
Wow!
**[21:05] (Flashback) Iori (young)**
That's amazing!
**[21:06] (Flashback) Iori (young)**
You're like magicians!
**[21:10] (Flashback) Akari**
We're no magicians.
**[21:12] (Flashback) Akari**
Perception Art doesn't just
belong to an elite few.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Akari**
Anyone can make it if they want.
**[21:20] (Flashback) Naoki**
That's right.
**[21:21] (Flashback) Naoki**
They are the potential
that brings new color to the world.
**[21:29] Iori**
Those eyes look the same...
**[21:45] Kazuya**
Huh? Kyo?
**[21:49] Kazuya**
What are you doing here—
**[21:50] Kyo**
What about you? What were *you* doing?
**[21:51] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[21:53] Kyo**
What are you planning,
sticking so close to Haijima?
**[21:57] Kazuya**
Kyo?
**[22:01] Kazuya**
Sorry. I know you two don't get along.
**[22:06] Kazuya**
But he's not so bad.
**[22:09] Kyo**
So does that mean you'd suck up to anyone?
**[22:12] Kazuya**
What?!
**[22:16] Kazuya**
Fine, I'll tell you what's going on.
**[22:24] Kazuya**
Yura-senpai is looking for someone,
**[22:27] Kazuya**
and I said I wanted to help.
**[22:30] Kazuya**
I wanted to talk to Haijima-senpai
**[22:32] Kazuya**
because I thought he might be
who we're looking for.
**[22:36] Kazuya**
But he isn't, after all.
**[22:39] Kazuya**
Kyo, you don't happen to know, do you?
**[22:41] Kazuya**
Who drew the Scribble
at the observatory in the woods?
**[22:50] Kyo**
Stop hanging around Haijima.
**[22:52] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[22:54] Kyo**
He's a bad influence on you.
**[22:57] Kyo**
Don't talk to him anymore.
**[22:58] Kazuya**
What the heck?
**[23:00] Kazuya**
Haijima-senpai's an amazing guy.
**[23:02] Kazuya**
As an Artist—
**[23:03] Kyo**
I'm saying you shouldn't
become an Artist like him!
**[23:07] Kyo**
Having a name that sells isn't all good.
**[23:10] Kyo**
You should understand now, right?
**[23:12] Kyo**
If something happens,
the Artist with their name on the project
**[23:15] Kyo**
gets the short end of the stick.
**[23:18] Kyo**
That's why...
**[23:20] Kyo**
your parents were killed!
