[00:01] ---
    I got your message...
[00:03] ---
    I'm Kiryu Moeka.
[00:06] ---
    Um...
[00:09] ---
    Oh, you're here?
[00:10] ---
    What are you doing, Okarin? Let the lady in.
[00:13] ---
    R-Right...
[00:20] ---
    Here's some tea.
[00:26] ---
    Kiryu Moeka...
[00:28] ---
    Why?
[00:29] ---
    Why are she and Daru...?
[00:48] ---
    This world is not even real at all
[00:54] ---
    It's just a vision pulled over our eyes
[01:01] ---
    At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos
    is overwriting all the values I know
[01:11] ---
    If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control
    and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light
[01:21] ---
    Then I, just I alone
[01:27] ---
    I'm fine being that miracle,
    that lethal minority
[01:33] ---
    I can fly high
[01:34] ---
    If that moment, if that place was
    something you thought was special to you
[01:40] ---
    The past doesn't have to be
    memories that simply drift away
[01:45] ---
    Instead of the pain of being hurt,
    everything about that precious scene will
[01:51] ---
    Become a light and give birth to zero
[01:56] ---
    There is no god. Wonderful new world.

    ...to not be human. The bodies, missing
    their brains and portions of the cranium,
[02:08] ---
    were discovered to be
    chimpanzee and orangutan.

    "Mass animal corpses found in America"
[02:13] ---
    Hmm?
[02:14] ---
    What's wrong?
[02:16] ---
    N-Nothing.
[02:18] ---
    Calm down...
[02:20] ---
    This isn't that world line anymore.
[02:22] ---
    We don't have any connection to SERN.
[02:24] ---
    Moeka won't kill Mayuri.
[02:26] ---
    She won't kill Mayuri...
[02:28] ---
    She won't kill...
[02:29] ---
    Uncle? You're not looking too good.
[02:33] ---
    I'm fine.
[02:35] ---
    Daru, care to explain?
[02:37] ---
    Who is this person?
[02:38] ---
    Miss Kiryu, a writer for an editorial.
[02:42] ---
    I'm Kiryu Moeka.
[02:45] ---

    "Publishing Department: Editor/Writer"
[02:45] ---
    A while back, there was a magazine
    covering the urban legends of Akiba.
[02:50] ---
    That's when she contacted me wanting
    to write about my part-time work.
[02:54] ---
    Your work?
[02:55] ---
    You know, the stuff I can't talk out loud about.
[02:59] ---
    I'm always careful not to leave any trace,
    but Miss Kiryu somehow managed to find me.
[03:05] ---
    So that explains your interest in her.
[03:08] ---
    I heard you're looking for someone.
[03:11] ---
    Actually, we're looking for a girl
    that went missing in Akiba 12 years ago.
[03:17] ---
    12 years ago...
[03:18] ---
    Yeah.
[03:20] ---
    Her name is Shiina Kagari.
[03:22] ---
    She was 10 years old 12 years ago,
    so that would make her 22 now.
[03:28] ---
    She's alive?
[03:30] ---
    We don't know for sure, but we found
    someone resembling her in a recent photo.
[03:38] ---
    Should we really be trusting her?
[03:41] ---
    It's true that in this world line,
    she shouldn't have to interact with us...
[03:45] ---
    She has no reason to kill Mayuri either.
[03:48] ---
    But more than likely,
    she's a Rounder in this world line too.
[03:51] ---
    She can still kill without batting an eye...
[04:01] ---
    Can I take on the job?
[04:03] ---
    You serious?
[04:04] ---
    Though, I don't know if I'll find her.
[04:07] ---
    Of course. Not much you can do about that.
[04:10] ---
    You'll be compensated if you succeed,
[04:12] ---
    but we'll cover any expenses
    you need for your work, all right?
[04:15] ---
    No problem.
[04:17] ---
    You fine with that, Okarin?
[04:18] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:20] ---
    Great. You're officially hired then.

[04:24] ---
    Let's go, Nae.
[04:25] ---
    'Kay!
[04:28] ---
    "Television CRT Workshop"
[04:30] ---
    Don't forget your seatbelt.
[04:31] ---
    Right!
[04:34] ---
    Ready?
[04:35] ---
    Yup!
[04:36] ---
    --Off we go!
    --Off we go!
[04:42] ---
    So? Who was that?
[04:43] ---
    Eh?
[04:44] ---
    You know that person, don't you?
[04:48] ---
    Huh?
[04:50] ---
    What makes you think that?
[04:52] ---
    You made it obvious.
[04:54] ---
    You know her, Okarin?
[04:58] ---
    No, I d--
[04:59] ---
    What about in the alpha world line?
[05:07] ---
    All right.
[05:09] ---
    I won't pry any deeper,
    but I'll stay on guard from my end.
[05:15] ---
    That's fine, at least for now.
[05:18] ---
    What's this about?
[05:20] ---
    She makes me nervous.
[05:22] ---
    I get it! Since Miss Kiryu is hot, stylish, and
    checks all the right boxes for a glasses fetish!
[05:33] ---
    "Brain Science Institute"
[05:42] ---
    I should probably get
    a pro to help me with this...
[05:48] ---
    That's right! No matter how much
    I call, he's just not answering.
[05:53] ---
    What gives? He's a joke of a tester.
[05:56] ---
    Have you considered he
    might have broken his phone?
[05:58] ---
    Dunno, but let's hope that's it.
[06:03] ---
    Makise Kurisu is dead.
[06:09] ---
    It's a rare sight to see you
    brooding over something like this.
[06:13] ---
    Professor?! When did you get back?!
[06:16] ---
    Just now.
[06:18] ---
    These Japanese convenience
    stores are pretty awesome.
[06:22] ---
    You can eat a different bento every day,
[06:24] ---
    and by the next week,
    there's a whole new selection.
[06:27] ---
    If you keep eating convenience
    store food, it'll ruin your health.
[06:32] ---
    Take a good look at yourself
    before judging my eating habits.
[06:37] ---
    So? Where are you going?
[06:39] ---
    Off to Akihabara for a change of pace.
[06:42] ---
    Just admit you're going
    there to visit Lintahlo already.
[06:46] ---
    Th-That's not why I'm...
[06:48] ---
    It's not?
[06:50] ---
    I guess I could see him on the way...
[06:53] ---
    On the way? On the way to what?
[06:55] ---
    I told you, for a change of pace!
[06:57] ---
    For this change of pace of yours,
    you're willing to go an hour away to Akihabara,
[07:02] ---
    where Lintahlo just happens to be?
[07:04] ---
    Is that what you're saying?
[07:08] ---
    I approve.
[07:10] ---
    I-I'm going, but it's not what you think.
[07:12] ---
    It's not like that.
[07:14] ---
    It's not like what?
[07:16] ---
    Anyways, I'm done working today. Goodbye.
[07:21] ---
    Say hi to Lintahlo for me.
[07:24] ---
    "Television CRT Workshop"
[07:27] ---
    This is?
[07:29] ---
    My report.
[07:38] ---
    Well?
[07:40] ---
    Looks like finding her won't be that easy.
[07:44] ---
    I see...
[07:48] ---
    Hmm? Find a clue?
[07:49] ---
    No, it's not that, but...
[07:52] ---
    Lemme see.
[07:53] ---
    H-Hey!
[07:57] ---
    During the investigation,
    one peculiar discovery was made.
[08:00] ---
    In the past several months,
[08:02] ---
    there is evidence that a party other than
    ours has been searching for Shiina Kagari.
[08:07] ---
    What's that mean?
[08:09] ---
    Just as you read.
[08:11] ---
    Who's looking for her?
[08:13] ---
    I don't know.
[08:15] ---
    Is it possible that it's Suzuha?
[08:17] ---
    I thought the same at first,
    but look right here.
[08:21] ---
    The people searching were men.
[08:23] ---
    With a foreigner among them.
[08:25] ---
    Foreigner?
[08:28] ---
    But she's been gone 12 whole years.
[08:31] ---
    Maybe she made some friends in that time.
[08:33] ---
    Hmm...
[08:34] ---
    Actually, as a kid, she wouldn't have
    lived very long without knowing somebody.
[08:39] ---
    That's true, but...
[08:41] ---
    With this, at least we know one thing.
[08:44] ---
    Which is?
[08:45] ---
    We know that Shiina Kagari...
    is alive in the present.
[08:50] ---
    A foreigner, huh?
[08:55] ---
    I'm pretty sure it was this way...
[09:01] ---
    Right now... I happen to be in Akihabara, so...
[09:07] ---
    I'm going to stop by the lab...
[10:25] ---
    Please, pick up!
[10:29] ---
    Hello?! Okabe-san?!
[10:30] ---
    Hiyajo-san?
[10:31] ---
    Right now, I'm running towards the lab, but--
[10:34] ---
    Hiyajo-san? Hiyajo-san?!
[10:39] ---
    Okarin?
[10:42] ---
    Hiyajo-san?!
[10:43] ---
    Huh?
[10:44] ---
    It can't be! It can't be that!
[10:48] ---
    It's not happening! It's not!
[10:58] ---
    Hiyajo-san?!
[11:03] ---
    A woman?
[11:04] ---
    Stop it! Let me go!
[11:06] ---
    H-Hold it!
[11:07] ---
    Hands off that girl!
[11:09] ---
    No, don't!
[11:18] ---
    Whoa! What the?
[11:20] ---
    Hiyajo-san!
[11:21] ---
    This is why I said not to...
[11:27] ---
    Reyes?
[11:29] ---
    Professor Judy Reyes.
[11:31] ---
    She said she came to Japan to attend an
    AI conference being held in the near future.
[11:38] ---
    Professor?
[11:39] ---
    Of Viktor Chondria University?
[11:49] ---
    Um, I'm...
[11:52] ---
    Japanese is fine too.
[11:56] ---
    Are you surprised?
[11:57] ---
    So you're Rintaro.
    I heard all about you from Alexis.
[12:00] ---
    Alexis?
[12:02] ---
    Oh, Professor Leskinen.
[12:03] ---
    Her specialty is psychophysiology.
[12:06] ---
    The link of mind and body.
[12:08] ---
    It's the field of research that studies
[12:11] ---
    how cognitive processes influence
    the heart, disease, and so on.
[12:14] ---
    In other words,
[12:15] ---
    her branch of science is a lot more useful
    to humanity than the research that I do.
[12:21] ---
    That's not true at all.
[12:22] ---
    You guys and your Amadeus
    might prove to be incredibly useful.
[12:26] ---
    I'm very honored you feel that way.
[12:29] ---
    But it was still cruel of you
    to stalk me from the station.
[12:33] ---
    The station? Stalk you?
[12:35] ---
    I did?
[12:36] ---
    Huh? You didn't?
[12:38] ---
    I just saw you in the alleyway and
    thought I'd jump out and surprise you.
[12:44] ---
    Then...
[12:48] ---
    Did I imagine it?
[12:52] ---
    Anyways, bring Rintaro and
    we'll have a nice long chat sometime.
[12:56] ---
    Bye!
[12:57] ---
    No!
[12:59] ---
    I told you, it's not like that!
[13:01] ---
    What was that all about?
[13:03] ---
    Eh?
[13:04] ---
    It's nothing...
[13:06] ---
    Okarin!
[13:08] ---
    Something happen?
[13:10] ---
    No, it wasn't anything.
[13:13] ---
    Ooh, Miss Hiyajo!
[13:17] ---
    Is it just me, or are you tinier
    than the last time we met?
[13:21] ---
    You honestly believe something that dumb?
[13:23] ---
    Mmm! She's becoming
    more loli by the minute!
[13:27] ---
    Did we trigger the flag for Miss Hiyajo
[13:29] ---
    to be inducted into the lab
    as our token loli character?
[13:32] ---
    Doubt it.
[13:33] ---
    In that case, I'll settle for calling
    her Maho-tan! That's right, I said it!
[13:38] ---
    What the heck are you on about?
[13:42] ---
    Amadeus did?
[13:44] ---
    Yeah.
[13:45] ---
    She said you won't pick up
    no matter how many times she calls.
[13:51] ---
    Judging by that face,
    you're not answering on purpose.
[13:55] ---
    Yeah...
[14:00] ---
    Let me talk to the professor.
[14:03] ---
    This was only a test from the start.
[14:06] ---
    You're not obligated to help.
[14:08] ---
    You're not even getting paid.
[14:18] ---
    But...
[14:20] ---
    I had no idea... that Kurisu had
    such a large presence in your life.
[14:25] ---
    I told you already, Kurisu wasn't--
[14:28] ---
    I can tell by watching you.
[14:30] ---
    Her presence was huge...
[14:32] ---
    What you're doing... is projecting
    your feelings for Kurisu onto Amadeus.
[14:37] ---
    When her voice revives old memories,
    it breathes new life into you,
[14:41] ---
    and with it your feelings grow.
[14:44] ---
    But, Amadeus is nothing more than a system.
[14:48] ---
    All that's there are memories made data.
[14:51] ---
    To have feelings for that...
[14:53] ---
    I know...
[14:55] ---
    But...
[14:58] ---
    But...
[14:59] ---
    Those are Kurisu's memories, and that's a fact!
[15:02] ---
    Okabe-san...
[15:04] ---
    I understand that! And how Kurisu is gone!
[15:07] ---
    I know it's only a system...
[15:10] ---
    But...
[15:12] ---
    Even so...
[15:15] ---
    Please, let me think a little longer.
[15:22] ---
    What are you doing for New Years?
[15:25] ---
    Are you planning a party?
[15:27] ---
    Yup! We'll all go and visit the shrine,
[15:29] ---
    have a big New Year's meal,
    and hope for another good year!
[15:33] ---
    "Burnable"
[15:33] ---
    Well, sounds good to me.
[15:36] ---
    I know, right?
[15:38] ---
    I'll ask the others about it later.
[15:41] ---
    Okay, Mayushii is going out shopping.
[15:44] ---
    For ComiMa?
[15:45] ---
    Uh-huh! It's for Fubuki-chan's costume.
[15:48] ---
    She needs a couple accessories.
[15:51] ---
    Oh, right. Not many days left.
[15:53] ---
    Yeah.
[15:54] ---
    Once it's over, the year will soon follow.
[15:57] ---
    It went by in the blink of an eye...
[16:02] ---
    In the blink of an eye...
[16:07] ---
    "Interactive Training Simulation"
[16:09] ---
    That summer...
[16:10] ---
    How many times did I live and repeat it?
[16:11] ---
    "Radio Building Akihabara"
[16:15] ---
    But, even that year is ending.
[16:18] ---
    Ooh!
[16:25] ---
    It's snowing!
[16:27] ---
    I wonder if it'll stick?!
[16:29] ---
    Time goes on.
[16:31] ---
    --Wow! This is wonderful!
[16:32] ---
    --The time that I chose...
    --Wow! This is wonderful!
[16:35] ---
    Okarin! I'm gonna get going!
[16:37] ---
    "Television CRT Workshop"
[16:38] ---
    O-Okay.
[16:41] ---
    Oh, right.
[16:43] ---
    I think Ruka-kun had something
    he wanted to discuss with you.
[16:47] ---
    Ah, I completely forgot he called me.
[16:51] ---
    I'll call him back.
[16:52] ---
    Okay! Tell him hi!

    "Daru"

    "Professor Izaki"
    "Mayuri"
[17:15] ---
    "I'll get a hold of you later."
    "If you still want to talk, can you call me?"
[17:17] ---
    I wonder if he's busy?
[17:18] ---
    I bet he's helping ready
    the shrine for New Years.
[17:23] ---
    May I come in?
[17:25] ---
    Rukako?
[17:27] ---
    It's open.
[17:29] ---
    Thank goodness, you're here.
[17:31] ---
    Sorry...
[17:32] ---
    If it's about earlier, I totally forgot.
[17:35] ---
    --I tried to call you just now.
    --Huh? You're right!
[17:38] ---
    I'm the one who's sorry for not noticing.
[17:41] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[17:43] ---
    You wanted to talk with me?
[17:44] ---
    Um, yes.
[17:46] ---
    Actually, I...
[17:50] ---
    Um, actually... There's someone I wanted
    you to meet, so I brought them along.
[17:56] ---
    Is that okay?
[17:58] ---
    Someone you want me to meet?
[18:20] ---
    Ku...
[18:28] ---
    Kurisu!
[18:31] ---
    Here you go.
[18:33] ---
    Thanks.
[18:35] ---
    They're so alike...
[18:36] ---
    But, her voice is different.
[18:39] ---
    Must be a coincidence.
[18:41] ---
    But still...
[18:43] ---
    So, Rukako? Who is this?
[18:45] ---
    Rukako?
[18:46] ---
    Oh, sorry. That's what I call him.
[18:50] ---
    Because he's so feminine.
[18:55] ---
    I believe I told you before... That one of
    my father's guests would be staying with us.
[18:59] ---
    Oh, so it was her?
[19:02] ---
    Yes...
[19:03] ---
    My father's acquaintance
    had brought her along.
[19:05] ---
    What's her name?
[19:10] ---
    Actually, that's what
    I wanted to talk to you about.
[19:14] ---
    Um, do you know anything we
    could do to find out who this girl is?
[19:19] ---
    Uh, what do you mean?
[19:22] ---
    Well, she has amnesia...
[19:26] ---
    Huh?
[19:28] ---
    Her name, where she came from,
    how she lost her memory...
[19:33] ---
    She remembers none of it.
[19:35] ---
    Are you serious?
[19:37] ---
    I thought if anyone, you would know
    a way to bring back her memories.
[19:41] ---
    You always talk about brains and
    memories and complicated things...
[19:45] ---
    Anything you can do to help.
[19:47] ---
    I just want to remember who I am.
[19:50] ---
    H-Hold on.
[19:53] ---
    I might talk about that stuff,
    but I'm no expert on it.
[19:57] ---
    Besides, regaining memories is no simple task.
[20:01] ---
    Storing it aside is one thing, but...
[20:03] ---
    I see...
[20:06] ---
    In that case, is there any way
    to find out where she came from?
[20:11] ---
    I feel bad for poor Kana-san.
[20:13] ---
    Kana? What's that?
[20:15] ---
    It's annoying if she has no name,
    so Kana it is... or so Father said.
[20:20] ---
    Well, that's one way to do it.
[20:22] ---
    It doesn't matter anyways.
[20:24] ---
    It's just a temporary name.
[20:27] ---
    More importantly...
[20:31] ---
    Do you have anything
    that might serve as a hint?
[20:34] ---
    Like... a wallet, a pass, or cellphone.
[20:38] ---
    Nothing like that.
[20:40] ---
    Nothing?
[20:41] ---
    How in the world did you live until now?
[20:46] ---
    There is one thing that might be a hint.
[20:49] ---
    Kana-san?
[20:50] ---
    Right.
[20:55] ---
    This...
[20:58] ---
    Too-too-roo! I'm back!
[21:01] ---
    It stopped snowing.
[21:03] ---
    Hmm? A guest?
[21:06] ---
    This is...
[21:07] ---
    An oopa!
[21:09] ---
    Hey, hey! Where did you get that oopa?!
[21:13] ---
    Kana-san has never let it leave her side.
[21:17] ---
    If I'm not mistaken,
    didn't this use to be green?
[21:21] ---
    I think it's the forest fairy version!
[21:23] ---
    The forest fairy?
[21:25] ---
    Yup! It showed up in a movie not too long ago.
[21:29] ---
    See? It's like my oopa,
    but the design is different.
[21:34] ---
    That one has wings!
[21:36] ---
    Then... why does it look so old?
[21:40] ---
    If it's from a new movie...
[21:46] ---
    I'm home...
[21:50] ---
    H-Hey!
[21:52] ---
    You okay?! Hey!
[21:56] ---
    Kagari...
[22:01] ---
    You're Kagari...
[22:03] ---
    Shiina Kagari, aren't you?!
[22:10] ---
    Come to me
[22:13] ---
    Embrace my tears
[22:16] ---
    Let me guide you down into my soul
[22:22] ---
    And let us pray for the world to realize
[22:29] ---
    There is peace, the truth within us
[22:35] ---
    Emptiness erodes your heart
[22:41] ---
    Coz you're free from pain and sorrow
[22:48] ---
    Future is just too bright to show you ways
[22:54] ---
    Wake up now...it's time to lead new souls
[23:01] ---
    Orbit of photon and universe
[23:08] ---
    I am just the part of its plan
[23:14] ---
    The eye cannot see the warped sky
[23:20] ---
    Where do the people think they are walking
[23:29] ---
    The last game
