**[00:48] Shoudai (Age 35)**
* The world began as a single bubble*
* formed deep in the water.*
**[00:54] Koyomi (Age 8)**
*A bubble?*
**[00:56] Shoudai (Age 35)**
*Yes.*
**[00:57] Shoudai (Age 35)**
* Think of the direction toward*
* the deep is the past,*
**[00:59] Shoudai (Age 35)**
* and the direction of*
* the surface as the future.*
**[01:03] Shoudai (Age 35)**
*As it rises, the bubble grows larger,*
**[01:07] Shoudai (Age 35)**
*and before long, it splits.*
**[01:11] Shoudai (Age 35)**
*We're in one of those split-off bubbles.*
**[01:17] Shoudai (Age 35)**
And the other bubbles we aren't in
**[01:21] Shoudai (Age 35)**
are alternate worlds,
which we call "parallel worlds."
**[01:24] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Parallel worlds?
**[01:27] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Worlds where you made different choices.
**[01:30] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Although, the closer the parallel world,
the less diverged it is from ours.
**[01:35] Shoudai (Age 35)**
The only difference might be whether
you had toast or rice for breakfast.
**[01:41] Shoudai (Age 35)**
So, sometimes you can be
Parallel Shifting without knowing it.
**[01:46] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Parallel Shifting?
**[01:48] Shoudai (Age 35)**
That's where you move into a parallel world.
**[01:50] Koyomi (Age 8)**
You can go to one?
**[01:52] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Your imaginality— Er, only
your consciousness, that is.
**[01:57] Shoudai (Age 35)**
You know how things you've lost sometimes
turn up where you swear you already looked?
***SIGN*** The Bunny in the Moon
**[02:02] Shoudai (Age 35)**
It's thought that a large
number of instances
**[02:06] Shoudai (Age 35)**
of forgetfulness and misremembering are due
**[02:08] Shoudai (Age 35)**
to Parallel Shifts you
don't realize occurred.
**[02:13] Shoudai (Age 35)**
The study of parallel worlds
**[02:16] Shoudai (Age 35)**
is the subject of our
research. Imaginary science.
***SIGN*** Imaginary Science Research Institute
**[02:22] Koyomi (Age 8)**
So, are there lots of parallel worlds?
**[02:26] Shoudai (Age 35)**
That's right.
**[02:28] Shoudai (Age 35)**
New ones for every choice we make.
**[02:31] Shoudai (Age 35)**
We'd better get going.
**[02:33] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Your mom must be hungry—

We could meet you at—
**[02:47] Shoudai (Age 35)**
What?
**[02:50] Shoudai (Age 35)**
I see. All right.
**[02:53] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Yeah. Talk to you later.
**[02:58] Shoudai (Age 35)**
She said that Yuno died.
**[03:00] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What?
**[03:02] Shoudai (Age 35)**
She darted into the street during her walk,
**[03:04] Shoudai (Age 35)**
and was hit by a car.
**[03:08] Koyomi (Age not specified; older)**
* The first time I made a big decision*

**[04:34] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Koyomi.
**[04:36] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Grandpa.
**[04:38] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Oh, you came. Thank you.
**[04:45] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Yuno, Koyomi came to visit.
**[04:54] Koyomi's Grandpa**
I'm so sorry, Yuno.
**[04:56] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Sorry I couldn't save you.
**[05:01] Koyomi's Grandpa**
I-I'm sorry...

**[05:41] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Huh?
**[05:43] Shiori (Age 8)**
What's wrong?
**[05:49] Shiori (Age 8)**
Are you crying?
**[05:52] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I'm not crying!
**[05:55] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yes, you are.
**[05:56] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I said I'm not!
**[05:59] Shiori (Age 8)**
No, you're definitely crying.
**[06:01] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Shut up.
**[06:05] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I miss Yuno.
**[06:07] Shiori (Age 8)**
Who's Yuno?
**[06:10] Koyomi (Age 8)**
My grandpa's dog.
**[06:13] Shiori (Age 8)**
You can't see her again?
**[06:16] Koyomi (Age 8)**
No... 'cause she's dead now.
**[06:21] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno's dead now, so I'll never
get to see her again!
**[06:49] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Hey, come with me.
**[06:55] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Hey! Where are we going?
**[06:57] Shiori (Age 8)**
Shh!
**[06:58] Shiori (Age 8)**
Or my mom will spot us!
**[07:00] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What?
**[07:02] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Your mom works here, too?
**[07:05] Shiori (Age 8)**
Yeah. Why else would I be here?
**[07:09] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Huh...
**[07:18] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Whoa!
**[07:19] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What is this thing?
**[07:21] Shiori (Age 8)**
An IP Capsule.
**[07:24] Shiori (Age 8)**
If you get in it, you can go
to parallel worlds.
**[07:27] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What? Parallel worlds?
**[07:30] Shiori (Age 8)**
Worlds where you made different choices.
**[07:34] Shiori (Age 8)**
They differ bit by bit, like whether
your rice ball was plum or tuna mayo.
**[07:40] Shiori (Age 8)**
You might be able to go
to a world where Yuno's alive.
**[07:50] Shiori (Age 8)**
Okay, I'm closing it now.
**[07:51] Koyomi (Age 8)**
H-Hold on!
**[07:53] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What do I do once I'm inside?
**[07:55] Shiori (Age 8)**
Wish.
**[07:56] Shiori (Age 8)**
Think, "I want to see Yuno."
**[07:58] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Wish?
**[08:00] Shiori (Age 8)**
My mom says it's important to believe.
**[08:04] Shiori (Age 8)**
She says only people who keep
believing can change the world.
**[08:09] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Uh... Hey!
**[08:16] Shiori (Age 8)**
There.
**[08:20] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Does she really know how to use that?
**[08:25] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Guess I'll give it a shot.
**[08:32] Koyomi (Age 8)**
*I want to see Yuno.*
**[08:33] Koyomi (Age 8)**
*I want to see Yuno!*
**[08:35] Koyomi (Age 8)**
*Yuno! Yuno! Yuno!*
**[08:48] Koyomi (Age 8)**
This is...
**[08:52] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno?
**[08:58] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno!
**[09:03] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno!
**[09:07] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno!
**[09:11] Koyomi (Age 8)**
It's really you!
**[09:13] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Cut it out. Hey.
**[09:16] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Hey! Yuno!
**[09:17] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Where are you going?
**[09:19] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno! Slow down!
**[09:28] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I'm home... That's still
what I should say, right...
**[09:34] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Oh, sorry.
**[09:42] Mayumi (Age 35)**
Welcome back.
**[09:44] Mayumi (Age 35)**
I put your outfit in your room,
so go get changed.
**[09:48] Mayumi (Age 35)**
It'll be starting soon.
**[09:51] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What will?
**[09:54] Koyomi's Great Uncle**
Shoudai-kun, was it?
**[09:57] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Oh, yes. It's been quite a while.
**[10:01] Shoudai (Age 35)**
Koyomi...
**[10:14] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Grandpa...
**[10:20] Koyomi's Great Uncle**
Well then, I'll see you
tomorrow, Mayumi-chan.
**[10:24] Mayumi (Age 35)**
Thank you very much.
**[10:26] Koyomi's Great Aunt**
Oh, little Koyomi-kun cried so much!
**[10:29] Koyomi's Great Aunt**
Yasuto-san was truly a good grandpa.
**[10:32] Mayumi (Age 35)**
Yes.
**[10:47] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yuno...
**[10:55] Mayumi (Age 35)**
Koyomi. Time for bed.
**[10:58] Mayumi (Age 35)**
Tomorrow's a busy day, too.
**[11:01] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Mom...
**[11:03] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Can I sleep in your room with you?
**[11:11] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Ow!
**[11:16] Koyomi (Age 8)**
That hurt...
**[11:19] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Huh?
**[11:23] Koyomi (Age 8)**
This is...
**[11:25] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Oh, you're up, Koyomi.
**[11:27] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Grandpa!
**[11:30] Koyomi (Age 8)**
You're alive?
**[11:31] Koyomi's Grandpa**
My goodness, that's quite a thing to say.
**[11:47] Koyomi (Age 8)**
So I'm back, then...
**[11:59] Koyomi's Grandpa**
What's wrong?
**[12:03] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Nothing. Where's Mom?
**[12:05] Koyomi's Grandpa**
She already left for work.
**[12:07] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Oh.
**[12:08] Koyomi's Grandpa**
You know, it was nice to have you
sleep in my room like old times.
**[12:12] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Grandpa,
**[12:18] Koyomi (Age 8)**
make sure to live a long time.
**[12:19] Koyomi's Grandpa**
What's gotten into you?
**[12:21] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Not to worry. I've still got
plenty of life left in me!
**[12:25] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Yeah, I bet you do. It's just...
**[12:31] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I'll come visit again.
**[12:37] Researcher A (20s)**
"Then please light a fire," said the bunny.
**[12:41] Researcher A (20s)**
The man did as he was told, gathering
dry wood and starting a fire.
**[12:44] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Hey.
**[12:47] Shiori (Age 8)**
You made it back?
**[12:48] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Thankfully, yeah. Somehow.
**[12:51] Shiori (Age 8)**
I'm sorry!
**[12:52] Shiori (Age 8)**
The truth is that
I wanted to Parallel Shift.
**[12:56] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Huh?
**[12:57] Shiori (Age 8)**
I want to go to a world where
my mom and dad aren't divorced.
**[13:02] Shiori (Age 8)**
But I need someone to operate the IP
Capsule, so I tried to get you to help me.
**[13:08] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I gotcha. So you helped me
with my wish first...
**[13:12] Shiori (Age 8)**
But I hadn't thought
about the coming back part.
**[13:16] Shiori (Age 8)**
I'm sorry.
**[13:18] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Don't sweat it. I did get to see Yuno.
**[13:21] Shiori (Age 8)**
You did?!
**[13:22] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Oh... Yeah, I did.
**[13:24] Shiori (Age 8)**
You saw her...
**[13:26] Shiori (Age 8)**
I'm glad.
**[13:28] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I didn't really get it, though.
**[13:31] Shiori (Age 8)**
Get what?
**[13:33] Koyomi (Age 8)**
The difference between
being alive and being dead.
**[13:36] Shiori (Age 8)**
Isn't that just whether
something has life in it or not?
**[13:40] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I mean, yeah, but like...
**[13:43] Koyomi (Age 8)**
It's just, the Yuno I saw alive
was so fluffy, and warm...
**[13:48] Koyomi (Age 8)**
But Yuno's grave was cold and quiet.
**[13:53] Koyomi (Age 8)**
And Grandpa... I'm sure he also...
**[13:55] Shiori (Age 8)**
Maybe that's what having life is.
**[13:58] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What?
**[13:59] Shiori (Age 8)**
If they're alive, they're warm
and you can play together,
**[14:03] Shiori (Age 8)**
but if they're dead, they're cold.
**[14:06] Shiori (Age 8)**
It means their world has ended, and...
**[14:11] Shiori (Age 8)**
Um...
**[14:13] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Their possibilities are gone?
**[14:16] Shiori (Age 8)**
Yeah, possibilities!
**[14:18] Shiori (Age 8)**
Yuno's warmth is
the warmth of possibilities!
**[14:21] Shiori (Age 8)**
Being alive on one hand,
or dead on the other.
**[14:24] Shiori (Age 8)**
I think the difference in warmth
between the two—that's life.
**[14:30] Koyomi (Age 8)**
You know, you're really something.
**[14:33] Shiori (Age 8)**
No, I'm really not.
**[14:35] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Okay, so now it's your turn.
**[14:37] Shiori (Age 8)**
Huh?
**[14:39] Koyomi (Age 8)**
The possibility where your mom
and dad don't divorce.
**[14:48] Koyomi (Age 8)**
So...
**[14:49] Koyomi (Age 8)**
How do you work all that?
**[14:52] Shiori (Age 8)**
Just push stuff.
**[14:53] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What?!
**[14:54] Shiori (Age 8)**
Press whatever seems right to you.
**[15:00] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Well, that still worked
for my Parallel Shift, so...
**[15:04] Koyomi (Age 8)**
We'll give that a shot, I guess.
**[15:10] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Okay, I'm closing it.
**[15:16] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Stop thinking about how much you want
tuna mayo or whatever, and make your wish.
**[15:21] Koyomi (Age 8)**
You must be hungry, making a face like that.
**[15:26] Shiori (Age 8)**
Very funny.
**[15:34] [Itoko] (Age 35)**
And just what might you two be up to?
**[15:37] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Oh, uh, we...
**[15:39] Shiori (Age 8)**
Mom!
**[15:40] Koyomi (Age 8)**
What?!
**[15:44] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I didn't know your mom was the director.
**[15:48] Shiori (Age 8)**
Yeah...
**[15:49] Koyomi (Age 8)**
She started lecturing us,
**[15:49] (Flashback) [Itoko] (Age 35)**
In other words, the world is a macro bubble,
and we are micro bubbles inside it.
**[15:51] Koyomi (Age 8)**
and it basically turned into
a lecture on parallel worlds.
**[15:54] (Flashback) [Itoko] (Age 35)**
Parallel Shifting is the phenomenon
of micro bubbles swapping places.
**[15:54] Shiori (Age 8)**
Yeah, when she gets going on something,
she loses sight of everything else.
**[15:56] (Flashback) [Itoko] (Age 35)**
The IP Capsule, an Einzvach's Cradle...
**[16:00] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Dude, you're the same way, y'know.
**[16:04] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Like mother, like daughter, I guess.
**[16:07] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I'm not just "dude."
**[16:08] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Huh?
**[16:09] Shiori (Age 8)**
Call me by my name.
**[16:12] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Oh.
**[16:13] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Um...
**[16:15] Shiori (Age 8)**
Shiori.
**[16:18] Shiori (Age 8)**
Shiori Satou.
**[16:21] Koyomi (Age 8)**
My name's Koyomi Hidaka.
**[16:24] Shiori (Age 8)**
Nice to meet you, Koyomi-kun.
**[16:31] Koyomi (Age 8)**
Nice to meet you.

**[17:48] Shiori (Age 14)**
I wanna help somebody.
**[17:50] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Huh?
**[17:51] Shiori (Age 14)**
You know, helping people.
Let's find someone who needs help.
**[17:56] Koyomi (Age 14)**
All right, but...
**[17:59] Koyomi (Age 14)**
why this again all of a sudden?
**[18:00] Shiori (Age 14)**
I mean, summer break
starts tomorrow, doesn't it?
**[18:05] Koyomi (Age 14)**
That's not really an answer.
**[18:07] Shiori (Age 14)**
*Koyomi-kun, do you hate helping people?*
**[18:10] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*No.*
**[18:12] Koyomi (Age 14)**
* I mean, if someone needs it,*
* then sure, I'll help them.*
**[18:15] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*Right?*
**[18:17] Shiori (Age 14)**
*So we need to find somebody.*
**[18:19] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*Okay, okay.*
**[18:34] Koyomi (Age 14)**
We didn't find anybody.
**[18:38] Shiori (Age 14)**
No...
**[18:39] Koyomi (Age 14)**
But hey, the fact no one needs help
is a good thing, right?
**[18:44] Shiori (Age 14)**
That's true.
**[18:47] Koyomi (Age 14)**
So why'd you bring up helping people, anyway?
**[18:55] Shiori (Age 14)**
I saw my dad.
**[18:57] Shiori (Age 14)**
For the first time since the divorce.
**[19:02] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Uh-huh...
**[19:03] Shiori (Age 14)**
He said he loves me so much.
**[19:09] Shiori (Age 14)**
And said to be the kind of person
**[19:11] Shiori (Age 14)**
who can help others
without expecting a return.
**[19:14] Koyomi (Age 14)**
That's why you suggested it?
**[19:17] Shiori (Age 14)**
Yeah.
**[19:21] Koyomi (Age 14)**
In that case, if I ever have
a problem one day, help me out.
**[19:26] Koyomi (Age 14)**
What's that look?
**[19:27] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Is there a problem if it's me?
**[19:29] Shiori (Age 14)**
I mean, if it's you,
**[19:31] Shiori (Age 14)**
then I can't say, "My name's not important.
I'm nobody special," can I?
**[19:35] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Excuse me?
**[19:36] Shiori (Age 14)**
That's how helping without
expecting a reward has to go, right?
**[19:40] Shiori (Age 14)**
You help someone you don't know,
they ask your name, and then you respond,
**[19:44] Shiori (Age 14)**
"My name's not important. I'm nobody special."
**[19:48] Shiori (Age 14)**
That can't work if it's you.
**[19:53] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Y'know, you're surprisingly dumb sometimes.
**[19:56] Shiori (Age 14)**
What?! How so?
**[20:00] Shiori (Age 14)**
Hey, dumb how?
**[20:20] Koyomi (Age 14)**
The view is supposed to be
pretty here at night.
**[20:24] Shiori (Age 14)**
Is it?
**[20:26] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You can even see the factories back there.
**[20:28] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I guess it's a little far, though.
**[20:32] Shiori (Age 14)**
Let's see for ourselves, then.
**[20:33] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Huh?
**[20:34] Shiori (Age 14)**
Let's come here at night sometime
before summer break ends.
**[20:41] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Why not now?
**[20:42] Shiori (Age 14)**
Because I'm starving right now.
**[20:47] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Good point.
**[21:02] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Trying to help people every day
like this really tires you out...
**[21:10] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Huh?
**[21:11] Koyomi (Age 14)**
What?
**[21:12] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Crap. Seriously?!
***SIGN*** Koyomi,
I have something very important to discuss.
Come to the Research Institute at 11. -Dad
**[21:16] [Itoko]**
* Imaginary science starts*

* of a conceptual space*
* called imaginary space.*
***SIGN*** Imaginary Science Research Institute

* That's the foundational idea*
* of imaginary science.*
**[21:30] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
That's the foundational idea
of imaginary science.
**[21:33] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
In contrast to physical space, which is
composed of elementary particles,
**[21:36] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
imaginary space is composed
of imaginary elements,
**[21:39] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You're here, too?
**[21:41] Shiori (Age 14)**
My mom told me to be here.
**[21:41] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
and differences in their changes
give rise to parallel worlds.
**[21:44] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Imaginary elements themselves
have yet to be observed,
**[21:45] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Sorry.
**[21:47] Shiori (Age 14)**
It's fine.
**[21:47] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
but *evidence* of them *has* been observed,
**[21:50] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
in the form of patterns traced
by elementary particles.
**[21:53] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
We call that pattern
***SIGN*** pattern
**[21:56] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
an Imaginary Elements Print.
**[21:59] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
"IP" for short.
**[22:00] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Currently, Deputy Director Hidaka
**[22:03] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
is at the center of the effort
to represent IPs numerically.
**[22:07] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
In equational terms,
***SIGN*** Number of values of P
***SIGN*** elementary particles
***SIGN*** pattern
**[22:10] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
we get this, and further...
**[22:15] Shoudai (Age 41)**
This would identify parallel worlds
**[22:18] Shoudai (Age 41)**
by expressing the difference
between IPs numerically.
**[22:20] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Call the world we're in now 0.
**[22:23] Shoudai (Age 41)**
The greater the number,
the further away the parallel world.
**[22:27] Shoudai (Age 41)**
That's the idea.
**[22:28] Shiori (Age 14)**
I kinda like it.
**[22:30] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Question.
**[22:31] Koyomi (Age 14)**
If you can identify worlds,
**[22:32] Koyomi (Age 14)**
can you Parallel Shift to a particular
world you want to go to?
**[22:36] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
That *is* a future possibility.
**[22:38] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Right now, research is still working on
intentionally causing a Parallel Shift.
**[22:42] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
But the ultimate goal of the IP Capsule
is Parallel Shifting to specified worlds.
**[22:48] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Like Optional Shifting.
**[22:51] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Furthermore, changes in
imaginary elements produce time.
**[22:57] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Time doesn't give rise to change,
**[23:00] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
change itself *is* time.
**[23:03] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Uh, so basically...
**[23:06] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Question.
**[23:08] Koyomi (Age 14)**
This isn't really boring, so I don't mind,
**[23:10] Koyomi (Age 14)**
but did you call us here just for
a lecture on imaginary science?
***SIGN*** elementary particles
***SIGN*** pattern
**[23:16] Shiori (Age 14)**
Oh, right.
**[23:17] Shiori (Age 14)**
Is this the important thing
you wanted to discuss?
***SIGN*** elementary particles
***SIGN*** pattern
**[23:28] Shoudai (Age 41)**
The truth is, Satou—
Er, Director Satou and I...
**[23:35] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Um...
**[23:36] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
We're thinking of getting married.
**[23:38] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Whoa!
**[23:39] Koyomi and Shiori (Age 14)**
What?!
**[23:47] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I had no idea.
**[23:48] Shiori (Age 14)**
Yeah.
**[23:50] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Did you know?
**[23:51] Shiori (Age 14)**
No. I had no clue.
**[23:53] Shiori (Age 14)**
I do know they went to
college together, though.
**[23:57] Koyomi (Age 14)**
That does ring a bell.
**[23:59] Shiori (Age 8)**
The idea of having your dad be my dad...
**[24:03] Shiori (Age 8)**
That part doesn't bother me, but...
**[24:07] Koyomi (Age 14)**
The Director being my mom
doesn't bug me, either, but...
**[24:12] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Still...
**[24:13] Shiori (Age 14)**
You know what?
**[24:16] Shiori (Age 14)**
I just...
**[24:19] Shiori (Age 14)**
sorta felt that one day...
**[24:23] Shiori (Age 14)**
I would marry you, Koyomi-kun.
**[24:30] Shiori (Age 14)**
But...
**[24:32] Shiori (Age 14)**
if we're going to be siblings,
**[24:35] Shiori (Age 14)**
marriage is out of the question.
**[24:44] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Shiori.
**[24:50] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Let's run away.
**[25:04] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*Where shall we go?*
**[25:07] Shiori (Age 14)**
*It doesn't matter to me.*
**[25:08] Shiori (Age 14)**
*Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you.*
**[25:12] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*And for how long?*
**[25:15] Shiori (Age 14)**
*A week?*
**[25:17] Shiori (Age 14)**
*A month?*
**[25:19] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*A year?*
**[25:20] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*A decade?*
**[25:23] Shiori (Age 14)**
*In that case, I wanna get a house.*
**[25:27] Shiori (Age 14)**
*And fill it with our favorite furniture.*
***SIGN*** Beds Bedding
***SIGN*** Adjustable Beds
**[25:35] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*We need a yard, too.*
**[25:38] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*So we can have a dog.*
**[25:41] Shiori (Age 14)**
*A great big fluffy one.*
**[25:46] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*And then one day, we'll be adults.*
**[25:50] Shiori (Age 14)**
*And then one day, we'll get married.*
**[25:55] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*But until that day comes,*
**[26:00] Shiori (Age 14)**
*where can we go?*
**[26:21] Koyomi (Age 14)**
This isn't gonna work, is it?
**[26:24] Shiori (Age 14)**
No...
**[26:33] Shiori (Age 14)**
I can't wait to be an adult.
**[26:36] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Where'd that come from?
**[26:39] Shiori (Age 14)**
Well, then we wouldn't get in trouble
for staying out after dark.
**[26:43] Koyomi (Age 14)**
We wouldn't be doing stuff
like this if we were adults.
**[26:56] Shiori (Age 14)**
It's just like you said, Koyomi-kun.
**[27:00] Shiori (Age 14)**
It's really pretty.
**[27:07] Shiori (Age 14)**
There's a dream I had.
**[27:09] Koyomi (Age 14)**
A dream?
**[27:11] Shiori (Age 14)**
A dream where my future self visits me.
**[27:15] Shiori (Age 14)**
And you know what?
**[27:17] Shiori (Age 14)**
My future self said that even in adulthood,
and even as an old lady,
**[27:20] Shiori (Age 14)**
I'd be with you.
**[27:24] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Oh.
**[27:26] Shiori (Age 14)**
She said when you're an old man,
you'll go senile and forget me.
**[27:32] Shiori (Age 14)**
Then after that, I help you,
**[27:36] Shiori (Age 14)**
and I say, "My name doesn't
matter. I'm nobody special."
**[27:42] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You'll definitely go senile before me.
**[27:46] Shiori (Age 14)**
Then, will *you* help *me* when that happens?
**[27:51] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I will.
**[27:52] Shiori (Age 14)**
You mean it?
**[27:55] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I promise. If you're in trouble,
I'll help you no matter what.
**[28:06] Shiori (Age 14)**
If only things could work out that way.
**[28:10] Koyomi (Age 14)**
They will.
**[28:11] Koyomi (Age 14)**
In that dream you had, I bet that was
some parallel you Shifting over to—
**[28:16] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Ah.
**[28:17] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Then she wouldn't be an old lady, huh?
**[28:20] Shiori (Age 14)**
That's it.
**[28:21] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Huh? What is?
**[28:23] Shiori (Age 14)**
Where we can go.
**[28:26] Koyomi (Age 14)**
What do you mean?
**[28:27] Shiori (Age 8)**
A parallel world!
**[28:30] Shiori (Age 14)**
There must be a world out there
where our parents haven't divorced!
**[28:36] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Right.
**[28:37] Koyomi (Age 14)**
In that world, my dad and the Director
also won't marry each other!
**[28:41] Shiori (Age 14)**
And we won't become siblings!
**[28:43] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Let's go, Shiori!
**[28:45] Shiori (Age 14)**
Yeah.
**[28:53] Koyomi (Age 14)**
* Once we're in the parallel world,*
* where should we meet up?*
**[28:58] Shiori (Age 14)**
*How about... that spot with the view?*
**[29:03] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*Got it.*
**[29:17] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Wh-What is it?
**[29:19] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I-It's small, so we have to be this close!
**[29:22] Shiori (Age 14)**
Yeah.
**[29:23] Shiori (Age 14)**
But I thought you'd get in
facing the other way.
**[29:27] Koyomi (Age 8)**
I'll turn around!
**[29:28] Shiori (Age 14)**
It's fine.
**[29:29] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Huh?
**[29:31] Shiori (Age 14)**
Don't.
**[29:33] Shiori (Age 14)**
Stay like this.
**[29:37] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Okay.
**[29:44] Shiori (Age 14)**
Now we make our wishes, right?
**[29:47] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Yeah.
**[29:48] Koyomi (Age 14)**
When we were little,
I Shifted by wishing to see Yuno.
**[29:55] Shiori (Age 14)**
So I just need to be thinking,
"I want to marry Koyomi-kun"?
**[30:00] Koyomi (Age 14)**
That's right.
**[30:01] Koyomi (Age 14)**
And I'll be thinking,
"I want to marry Shiori."
**[30:07] Shiori (Age 14)**
Koyomi-kun,
**[30:09] Shiori (Age 14)**
take me as your bride
in this parallel world.
**[30:13] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I will.
**[30:16] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Let's get married in the parallel world.
**[30:30] TV Characters (detective?)**
*How long are you gonna keep up the act?*
**[30:32] TV Characters (detective?)**
*We know you did it!*
**[30:34] TV Characters (suspect?)**
*I keep telling you, it wasn't me.
How many times to I have to say it?*
**[30:38] TV Characters (detective?)**
*Your fingerprints were found at the scene.*
**[30:41] TV Characters (detective?)**
*How do you explain that?*
**[30:42] TV Characters (suspect?)**
*I don't know what to tell you.
All I know is I wasn't there!*
**[30:43] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Mom?!
**[30:54] Shiori's Dad (40s)**
Shiori.
**[31:07] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Why?
**[31:08] Koyomi (Age 14)**
How come you're here, Mom?
**[31:09] Mayumi (Age 41)**
Huh? Is that...
**[31:12] Mayumi (Age 41)**
not allowed?
**[31:13] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I mean—
**[31:16] Shoudai (Age 41)**
A person's allowed to be
in their own house, right?
**[31:20] Koyomi (Age 14)**
"Their own"...
**[31:24] Mayumi (Age 41)**
What is it?
**[31:25] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You two aren't divorced, right?
**[31:27] Shoudai and Mayumi (Age 41)**
What?
**[31:35] Shiori (Age 14)**
Dad...
**[31:37] Shiori (Age 14)**
Mom...
**[31:40] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
What's wrong?
**[31:41] Shiori (Age 14)**
Dad! Mom!
**[31:44] Mayumi (Age 41)**
Hold on! Why the weird questions?
Where are you going?
**[31:47] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
**[31:50] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*It worked!*
**[31:52] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*I have to go meet up with Shiori!*
**[31:57] Koyomi (Age 14)**
*I have to go see her!*
**[32:11] Shiori (Age 14)**
*Koyomi-kun.*
**[32:22] Koyomi (Age 14)**
What gives? I'm back.
**[32:26] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Everything was going so well.
**[32:31] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Hey, wake up, Shiori.
**[32:35] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
The precision of the IP
observations isn't great.
**[32:38] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Yeah, and without detailed data, we can't
obtain a numerical representation...
**[32:43] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Shall we seek a consult?
**[32:45] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
With that person from our college?
**[32:47] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
What was it again? Kawa... Waka...
**[32:50] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Wakakida?
**[32:53] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
What is it?
**[32:54] Shoudai (Age 41)**
I just...
**[32:59] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Hello!
**[33:00] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Is anybody there?
**[33:02] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Help, please!
**[33:05] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Koyomi?
**[33:07] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Shiori?
**[33:08] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Dad!
**[33:10] Koyomi (Age 14)**
She needs help!
**[33:11] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Hey, what are you doing in here?
**[33:13] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Shiori's not...
**[33:14] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Shiori's not breathing!
**[33:29] Koyomi (Age 14)**
How is she?
**[33:30] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Is Shiori okay?
**[33:35] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Her heart is beating.
**[33:37] Shoudai (Age 41)**
More accurately, it's being
kept beating artificially, but...
**[33:44] Shoudai (Age 41)**
She isn't waking up.
**[33:48] Shoudai (Age 41)**
She's in a state of brain death.
**[33:57] Shoudai (Age 41)**
* I'm sorry for not realizing how*
* you two felt about each other.*
**[34:02] Shoudai (Age 41)**
*But you two were mistaken about something.*
**[34:07] Shoudai (Age 41)**
* Even if two parents get married,*
* their kids can still marry each other.*
**[34:14] Shoudai (Age 41)**
*There was never any reason*
**[34:16] Shoudai (Age 41)**
*for you to have to run away.*
**[34:59] Shiori (Ghost)**
Koyomi-kun...
**[35:02] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Shiori?
**[35:04] Shiori (Ghost)**
I'm sorry.
**[35:05] Shiori (Ghost)**
I wound up as a ghost.
***SIGN*** Conference Room
***SIGN*** In Use
**[35:11] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
"Imaginary Element Fission Syndrome."
**[35:15] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
That's the name I've given
to Shiori's condition for now.
**[35:20] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
At a glance, her state is no
different from brain death.
**[35:23] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
However, they failed to find any
damage whatsoever to Shiori's brain.
**[35:28] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It has simply suspended functioning.
**[35:31] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
I suspect that's has to do
with Parallel Shifting.
**[35:37] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Continue.
**[35:39] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Expanding on what Koyomi heard
from the Shiori at the intersection...
**[35:44] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Shiori faced a traffic accident
in the parallel world
**[35:48] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
and Shifted in an effort to return here.
**[35:51] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
However, directly after this,
Parallel Shiori's body died instantly.
**[35:56] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Having no body to return to,
Parallel Shiori's imaginality perished.
**[36:02] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Because of that, Shiori's imaginality
lost sight of its body,
***SIGN*** Parallel World
***SIGN*** World 0
***SIGN*** accident
***SIGN*** ghost
***SIGN*** instant death
**[36:06] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
and it became the ghost
at that intersection.
***SIGN*** Parallel Shiori
**[36:09] Shoudai (Age 41)**
I see.
***SIGN*** Parallel World World 0
***SIGN*** accident -> ghost
***SIGN*** instant death <- Parallel Shiori
**[36:11] Shoudai (Age 41)**
So the physical body's death overlapped
with the timing of the Shift.
**[36:16] Koyomi (Age 14)**
This is all because we used
the IP Capsule on our own...
**[36:20] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It was an unlucky accident.
**[36:23] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
To begin with, you can't Parallel
Shift with that IP Capsule.
***SIGN*** accident -> ghos
***SIGN*** instant death <- Paralle
***SIGN*** Parallel World World 0
**[36:28] Koyomi (Age 14)**
What?
***SIGN*** instant death <- Parallel
***SIGN*** accident -> ghost
***SIGN*** instant death <- Parallel Sh
***SIGN*** instant death <- Parallel Shio
***SIGN*** instant death <- Parallel Shiori
**[36:29] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It's unfinished.
**[36:31] Koyomi (Age 14)**
But—
**[36:32] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
You want to bring up that you used it
to Parallel Shift once before, right?
**[36:38] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
That was most likely attributable to you.
**[36:41] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
You might possess a special trait that
makes it easy to cause a Parallel Shift.
**[36:46] Koyomi (Age 14)**
It was... me?
**[36:47] Shoudai (Age 41)**
I see. Imaginality is constantly wobbling.
**[36:52] Shoudai (Age 41)**
If we suppose that a Parallel Shift occurs
when the amplitude exceeds a fixed value,
**[36:57] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
then the greater the original amplitude,
the more easily a Shift can occur.
**[37:02] Shoudai (Age 41)**
What if we managed to control the amplitude?
**[37:05] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Then even an Optional Shift
might be possible.
**[37:08] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Is there a possibility Shiori-kun
possessed the same trait?
**[37:11] Shoudai (Age 41)**
The reason only Koyomi can see
Shiori-kun may well lie with th—
**[37:15] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Can we help her?
**[37:22] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Is there a way to save Shiori?
**[37:27] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
If we could observe Koyomi's
imaginary elements, control them,
**[37:31] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
and tether them to their original
physical matter, her body,
**[37:35] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
then she might survive.
**[37:37] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
But imaginary elements exist in theory
and haven't even been observed.
**[37:42] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Then please, use me as a guinea pig!
**[37:45] Koyomi (Age 14)**
If you study me and figure out how I Shift
so easily, you might learn something!
**[37:50] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
Koyomi-kun...
**[37:52] Koyomi (Age 14)**
It's my fault that Shiori ended up this way.
**[37:55] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Because I was stupid and
didn't know anything...
**[38:00] Koyomi (Age 14)**
That's why she...
**[38:03] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
As I said earlier, this was an accident.
**[38:06] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It's not anyone's—
**[38:09] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I don't care what happens
to me. Just save Shiori!
**[38:12] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Calm down.
**[38:12] Koyomi (Age 14)**
How could anyone stay calm right now?!
**[38:15] Koyomi (Age 14)**
How can *you two* be so unemotional?
**[38:21] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You should get mad and blame me!
**[38:24] Koyomi (Age 14)**
You should hit me and curse at me!
**[38:27] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Does what happened to your own
daughter not affect you at all?!
**[38:45] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Koyomi.
**[38:47] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It's all right, Hidaka-kun.
**[38:49] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
It seems I'm always thinking with my head...
**[38:53] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
I'm a failure as a parent.
**[38:58] Shoudai (Age 41)**
As am I.
**[39:00] Koyomi (Age 14)**
I'm sorry.
**[39:01] Koyomi (Age 14)**
But I mean it when I say I want
to do something for Shiori.
**[39:05] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Let me be involved, too!
**[39:07] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Please!
**[39:10] [Itoko] (Age 41)**

**[39:11] [Itoko] (Age 41)**

**[39:13] Shoudai (Age 41)**
Please allow it, Satou.

Hidaka-kun...

**[39:21] Shoudai (Age 41)**
To make up for our parental failures,
**[39:24] Shoudai (Age 41)**
can't we at least take *his*
feelings into account this time?
**[39:33] [Itoko] (Age 41)**
You're right.
**[39:35] [Itoko] (Age not specified)**
* But you have to prioritize*
* your schoolwork first.*
**[39:40] [Itoko] (Age not specified)**

**[40:05] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
* Even during all that, I went to see*
* Shiori practically every day.*
**[40:14] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
* Parallel Shifting experiments*
* were conducted late at night.*
**[40:18] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
* It was a measure taken*

**[40:24] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
*We conducted dozens of trials,*

**[40:33] Koyomi (Age not specified)**

**[40:38] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
*In each parallel world, Shiori was a ghost.*
**[40:43] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
*There was no world where Shiori survived.*
**[40:50] Shiori (Ghost)**
Oh, Koyomi-kun.
**[40:55] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
Shiori,
**[40:56] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
I'm here from a parallel world.
**[40:58] Shiori (Ghost)**
You are? Oh, okay.
**[41:02] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
Between the me in front of you now
and the me of this world,
**[41:05] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
is anything different?
**[41:10] Shiori (Ghost)**
I dunno.
**[41:11] Shiori (Ghost)**
You look the same.
**[41:15] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
I see.
**[41:22] Shiori (Ghost)**
A pigeon comes by here.
**[41:24] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
A pigeon?
**[41:25] Shiori (Ghost)**
Yeah.
**[41:26] Shiori (Ghost)**
By the bronze statue over there.
**[41:29] Shiori (Ghost)**
It's always alone, and it stays there
the entire time it's light out.
**[41:33] Koyomi (Age not specified)**
Huh.
**[41:38] Shiori (Ghost)**
I wonder if it's waiting for someone.
**[41:55] Researcher A (30s)**
Koyomi-kun, the last train's coming soon.
**[41:59] Koyomi (Age 20)**
I'm gonna work a little longer.
**[42:01] Researcher A (30s)**
You are?
**[42:02] Researcher A (30s)**
Then I'll leave locking up to you.
**[42:05] Researcher B**
Take it easy.
**[42:06] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Have a good night.
**[42:13] Researcher A (30s)**
It's so cold!
**[42:15] Researcher A (30s)**
Even with a warm winter,
it's freezing at night.
**[42:17] Researcher B**
Isn't Koyomi-kun overworking himself?
**[42:20] Researcher B**
He didn't go home yesterday, either.
**[42:22] Researcher A (30s)**
It's a good thing for
youngsters to work hard.
**[42:25] Researcher A (30s)**
For the country and
for our retirement years.
**[42:28] Researcher B**
Our retirement years aside,
**[42:31] Researcher B**
shall we have the Director talk to him
before he damages his health?
**[42:34] Researcher A (30s)**
The Director went to Fukuoka two days ago.
**[42:37] Researcher A (30s)**
Besides...
**[42:41] Researcher A (30s)**
When you think about how he feels...
**[42:53] Koyomi (Age 20)**
That's not it.
**[42:55] Koyomi (Age 20)**
The range will expand to infinity again.
**[43:05] Koyomi (Age 20)**

the same thing always happens.
**[43:11] Koyomi (Age 20)**

**[43:32] Koyomi (Age 20)**

**[43:47] Kazune (Age 20)**

**[43:50] Kazune (Age 20)**

**[44:22] Shoudai (Age 47)**
Koyomi.
**[44:25] Koyomi (Age 20)**

**[44:27] Koyomi (Age 20)**
You're still here.
**[44:28] Koyomi (Age 20)**
All-nighter?
**[44:30] Shoudai (Age 47)**
Come with me.
**[44:33] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Where?
**[44:35] Shoudai (Age 47)**
The Director contacted me.
**[44:40] Shoudai (Age 47)**
Shiori's body stopped her heart.
**[45:53] Shiori (Ghost)**
Koyomi-kun.
**[45:55] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Sorry I couldn't come by for a while.
**[45:58] Shiori (Ghost)**
No, it's oka—
**[46:03] Shiori (Ghost)**
Did something sad happen?
**[46:05] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Huh? No, uh...
**[46:12] Shiori (Ghost)**
I see.
**[46:14] Shiori (Ghost)**
There's somebody you'll never
be able to see again, right?
**[46:22] Shiori (Ghost)**
Koyomi-kun?
**[46:26] Shiori (Ghost)**
It's okay. It'll be okay.
**[46:29] Shiori (Ghost)**
You have me.
**[46:31] Shiori (Ghost)**
I'll always be at your side.
**[46:33] Shiori (Ghost)**
Okay?
**[46:36] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Shiori...
**[46:42] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Why, Shiori?
**[46:45] Koyomi (Age 20)**
Why...
**[46:52] Shiori (Ghost)**
Oh! Remember that pigeon?
**[47:34] Shiori (Ghost)**
What? Until noon?
**[47:36] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Yeah. I only meant to take a nap, though.
**[47:41] Shiori (Ghost)**
What are we going to do
with you, Koyomi-kun?
**[47:43] Couple (Girl)**
It tasted perfectly sweet,
and the place was just darling.
**[47:44] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I don't wanna hear that from you.
**[47:48] Couple (Girl)**
So I think we should
go together next time...
**[47:50] Koyomi (Age 27)**
What? You're so goofy.
**[47:51] Couple (Girl)**
C'mon! What're you looking at?
**[47:54] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I see the Director came by,
**[47:56] Koyomi (Age 27)**
even though she was invited
to a conference in Munich.
**[47:59] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Did she say anything?
**[48:14] Koyomi (Age 27)**
An assistant?
**[48:15] Shoudai (Age 54)**
She was recommended by an important
professor Satou had while studying abroad.
**[48:20] Koyomi (Age 27)**
The one in Munich?
**[48:22] Shoudai (Age 54)**
Satou said she interviewed her
while at the conference.
**[48:25] Shoudai (Age 54)**
She's apparently exceptional and has a PhD.
**[48:28] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Cool.
**[48:29] Koyomi (Age 27)**
But I don't need an assistant.
**[48:32] Shoudai (Age 54)**
I hear your research
isn't making very good progress.
**[48:39] Shoudai (Age 54)**
I'm sure she'll be helpful.
**[48:41] Shoudai (Age 54)**
Even just having someone to
talk to makes a big difference.
**[48:44] Koyomi (Age 27)**
No, it won't.
**[48:46] Shoudai (Age 54)**
Besides, isn't she older?
**[48:48] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'd have to mind my manners—
**[48:49] Kazune (Age 27)**
We're the same grade level.
**[48:51] Kazune (Age 27)**
That said, I was born in March,
so my birth year is later than yours.
**[48:57] Shoudai (Age 54)**
You heard her.
**[49:00] Kazune (Age 27)**
My name is Kazune Takigawa.
**[49:03] Kazune (Age 27)**
I look forward to working
with you, Mr. Hidaka.
**[49:08] Koyomi (Age 27)**
It’s easier for me to work alone!
**[49:10] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I can't concentrate with people around.
**[49:13] Shoudai (Age 54)**
Mentoring is part of heading a lab.
**[49:16] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Mentor a PhD?
**[49:17] Koyomi (Age 27)**
As a high school graduate?
**[49:19] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
She requested it.
**[49:22] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Director...
**[49:24] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
Perhaps she's interested
in the young genius scientist
**[49:28] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
who proposed the inevitable event radius?
**[49:31] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Don't do that.
**[49:36] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
I won't force you.
**[49:38] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
But you can't get by in life
if you're always rejecting others.
**[49:43] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
As a parent,
**[49:44] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
I'm worried about my son.
**[49:47] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Mom...
**[49:50] Koyomi (Age 27)**
You fight dirty.
**[49:52] Shoudai (Age 54)**
Leave work at the proper time today
**[49:54] Shoudai (Age 54)**
and take her to dinner or something
to celebrate joining the Institute.
**[49:57] Koyomi (Age 27)**
What a pain...
**[49:59] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
Koyomi, take a shower before the dinner.
**[50:02] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Huh? It's that bad?
**[50:04] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
And shave and change your clothes.
**[50:05] [Itoko] (Age 54)**
And don't wear the usual worn-out one.

**[50:27] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Wait, then why a karaoke place?
**[50:30] Kazune (Age 27)**
I thought this would be
a good place to talk.
**[50:33] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Talk?
**[50:34] Kazune (Age 27)**
But first,
**[50:38] Kazune (Age 27)**
could we ditch the formality?
**[50:39] Koyomi (Age 27)**
What?
**[50:40] Kazune (Age 27)**
I mean, we're the same grade level.
**[50:42] Kazune (Age 27)**
Actually,
**[50:43] Kazune (Age 27)**
we went to the same school.
**[50:46] Koyomi (Age 27)**
We did?
**[50:47] Kazune (Age 27)**
I knew it. You don't remember.
**[50:50] Kazune (Age 27)**
You could really use some tact.
**[50:52] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Um...
**[50:53] Kazune (Age 27)**
You gave the entrance
ceremony speech, didn't you?
**[50:57] Kazune (Age 27)**
*We were classmates in high school.*
**[51:01] Kazune (Age 27)**
*Not that you had any idea.*
**[51:05] Koyomi (Age 27)**
*I tended to be absent a lot in high school.*
**[51:09] Kazune (Age 27)**
* And yet you were always ranked first.*
* I never managed to take that spot.*

can get, no matter how outstanding.
**[51:30] Kazune (Age 27)**
I was disappointed in you,
**[51:33] Kazune (Age 27)**
convinced you used parental connections.
**[51:35] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I—
**[51:36] Kazune (Age 27)**
But I was wrong.
**[51:39] Kazune (Age 27)**

**[52:01] Kazune (Age 27)**
I studied abroad,
obtained a PhD at top speed,
**[52:03] Kazune (Age 27)**
and got in via interview with Dr. Satou.

Wait. Hey!
**[52:46] Kazune (Age 27)**
Hurry, hurry!
**[52:51] Kazune (Age 27)**
Tie goes to the runner.
**[52:53] Koyomi (Age 27)**
We're definitely out.
**[52:55] Kazune (Age 27)**
And next, over there!
**[53:16] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'll come by later.
**[53:18] Shiori (Ghost)**
Okay.
**[53:19] Kazune (Age 27)**
What?
**[53:21] Kazune (Age 27)**
You see it, too?
**[53:23] Kazune (Age 27)**
The ghost of the intersection.
**[53:26] Kazune (Age 27)**
You've never heard of it before?
**[53:28] Kazune (Age 27)**
It's just some urban legend,
but y'know, sometimes I see it.
**[53:33] Koyomi (Age 27)**
What do you mean? What do you see?
**[53:36] Kazune (Age 27)**
An indistinct thing shaped
like a person, that's all.
**[53:42] Kazune (Age 27)**
Only sometimes.
**[53:46] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Come on!
**[53:47] Kazune (Age 27)**
Huh?
**[53:48] Kazune (Age 27)**
Hold on a sec.
**[53:51] Kazune (Age 27)**
What's gotten into you? Hey!
**[54:24] Kazune (Age 27)**
Imaginary Element Fission Syndrome.
**[54:27] Kazune (Age 27)**
I see.
**[54:28] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I joined the Research Institute
to save Shiori.
**[54:34] Kazune (Age 27)**
Securing an IP...
**[54:36] Kazune (Age 27)**
Let's consider the IP Lock, which
the Deputy Director is researching.
**[54:41] Kazune (Age 27)**
It's meant to stabilize imaginality
and control Parallel Shifts,
**[54:45] Kazune (Age 27)**
but if adapted, it might be able
to salvage her imaginality.
**[54:50] Kazune (Age 27)**
If we assimilated that with her body—
**[54:52] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Shiori's body is already gone.
**[54:56] Koyomi (Age 27)**
It held up for a few years, but that was it.
**[55:08] Kazune (Age 27)**
So, what's your plan?
**[55:09] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Huh?
**[55:10] Kazune (Age 27)**
Since you're still at the Institute,
you must have an idea, right?
**[55:18] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I see.
**[55:19] Koyomi (Age 27)**
You certainly are outstanding.
**[55:22] Kazune (Age 27)**
This is what I mean about tact—
**[55:23] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'm researching Time Shifts.
**[55:27] Kazune (Age 27)**
What?
**[55:28] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'll send Shiori's imaginality
**[55:30] Koyomi (Age 27)**
into a world outside the event
radius of her accident.
**[55:34] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'll Time Shift her to the point at
which that world splits from ours.
**[55:39] Kazune (Age 27)**
But Time Shifts are considered
theoretically impossible.
**[55:43] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Exactly.
**[55:44] Koyomi (Age 27)**
So I can't get a budget for it.
**[55:47] Kazune (Age 27)**
Misappropriation of research funds...
**[55:49] Kazune (Age 27)**
That's why you insisted on working alone.
**[55:52] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I want to help Shiori,
no matter what it takes!
**[55:57] Kazune (Age 27)**
Even now, she's at that intersection.
**[55:59] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Unseen, unnoticed,
**[56:01] Koyomi (Age 27)**
stuck there, always.
**[56:05] Koyomi (Age 27)**
That accident took away
Shiori's possibilities.
**[56:08] Koyomi (Age 27)**
So, I'm gonna make it so the cause
of her accident never existed!
**[56:17] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I told you this because you can see Shiori.
**[56:20] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Can you keep quiet about it for me?
**[56:22] Kazune (Age 27)**
You mean turn a blind eye?
**[56:24] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Please.
**[56:30] Kazune (Age 27)**
I won't let this go.
**[56:33] Kazune (Age 27)**
But I'm to be a joint researcher on this.
**[56:36] Kazune (Age 27)**
A contest to see who achieves
Time Shifting first: you or me.
**[56:41] Kazune (Age 27)**
Those are my conditions.
**[56:46] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Got it.
**[56:47] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Welcome aboard, Takigawa-san.
**[56:48] Kazune (Age 27)**
Glad to be on the team, Hidaka-kun.
**[56:51] Koyomi (Age 27)**
"Hidaka-kun," huh?
**[56:53] Koyomi (Age 27)**
That's what the Director calls
my dad. "Koyomi" is fine.
**[56:57] Koyomi (Age 27)**
It's what everyone else uses.
**[56:59] Kazune (Age 27)**
Then you can use my first name, too.
**[57:06] Kazune (Age 27)**

It's nothing.

**[58:16] Shiori (Ghost)**
You're a fully grown adult now.
**[58:20] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Shiori?
**[58:22] Shiori (Ghost)**
I'm fine now.
**[58:25] Shiori (Ghost)**
Only for me...
**[58:28] Shiori (Ghost)**
For you to be living your
life solely for me...
**[58:31] Shiori (Ghost)**
That isn't what I want.
**[58:34] Koyomi (Age 27)**
What are you saying?
**[58:36] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I promised, remember?
**[58:38] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I'd help you no matter what.
**[58:40] Shiori (Ghost)**
Yeah, but—
**[58:41] Koyomi (Age 27)**
Please!
**[58:46] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I beg you, please don't say stuff like that.
**[58:50] Koyomi (Age 27)**
I want to keep living solely for you, Shiori.
**[58:53] Koyomi (Age 27)**
So please, don't tell me I've done enough.

Please, don't leave me all alone.

**[59:43] Security Guard (20s)**
Kazune Takigawa,
Deputy Head of Lab 3, correct?
**[59:46] Security Guard (20s)**
One moment.
**[59:48] Kazune (Age 38)**
Oh, are you new here?
**[59:50] Security Guard (20s)**
Yes. I was assigned here in October.
**[59:54] Security Guard (20s)**
Everything checks out.
**[59:56] Security Guard (20s)**
Go ahead, ma'am.
**[59:57] Kazune (Age 38)**
Thanks.
**[1:00:23] Kazune (Age 38)**
You always come here when you hit a wall.
**[1:00:25] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Do I?
**[1:00:27] Koyomi (Age 38)**
More importantly,
**[1:00:28] Koyomi (Age 38)**
you haven't forgotten that this place is
now government-affiliated, have you?
**[1:00:32] Kazune (Age 38)**
By becoming an administrative agency,
there's no more risk of going under.
**[1:00:37] Kazune (Age 38)**
Though it's made convenience
store trips a big hassle.
**[1:00:41] Koyomi (Age 38)**
I guess we can't expect everything
to be the same after a decade.
**[1:00:47] Kazune (Age 38)**
A decade...
**[1:00:49] Kazune (Age 38)**
So much has happened in that time.
**[1:00:52] Kazune (Age 38)**
Like straightening up the lab,
**[1:00:54] Kazune (Age 38)**
more straightening up,
**[1:00:56] Kazune (Age 38)**
and more straightening up.
**[1:00:57] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Oh, come on. Is that all that comes to mind?
**[1:01:00] Kazune (Age 38)**
Direct observation of imaginary elements.
**[1:01:03] Kazune (Age 38)**
Optional Shifting achieved
practical realization,
**[1:01:06] Kazune (Age 38)**
and imaginary science advanced dramatically.
**[1:01:10] Kazune (Age 38)**
Even the mystery with you
and Shiori was explained.
**[1:01:17] Kazune (Age 38)**
Multiple imaginalities
with coherence regions in their IPs
**[1:01:21] Kazune (Age 38)**
can perceive each other in imaginary space
**[1:01:26] Kazune (Age 38)**
If the degree of coherence is extremely high,
communication becomes possible.
**[1:01:31] Koyomi (Age 38)**
"The Correlation Between IP Coherence Regions
and Perception in Imaginary Space."
**[1:01:37] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Thanks to that our budget
was raised. Good work, Doctor.
**[1:01:41] Kazune (Age 38)**
You could stand to be a little
more grateful, y'know.
**[1:01:44] Koyomi (Age 38)**
I am.
**[1:01:45] Kazune (Age 38)**
Really?
**[1:01:46] Koyomi (Age 38)**
I am. Really.
**[1:01:48] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Though, I haven't figured out
Time Shifting yet.
**[1:01:53] Koyomi (Age 38)**
I guess I'll go ahead
and make it my life's work.
**[1:01:57] Kazune (Age 38)**
Your joke stunk.
**[1:01:59] Koyomi (Age 38)**
That was cold!
**[1:02:00] Kazune (Age 38)**
Come on. You're a candidate for
the next Director of the Institute.
**[1:02:03] Kazune (Age 38)**
Here.
**[1:02:05] Koyomi (Age 38)**
What's this?
**[1:02:06] Koyomi (Age 38)**
I've never seen it before.
**[1:02:08] Kazune (Age 38)**
You don't know it?
**[1:02:09] Kazune (Age 38)**
I had it recently and it was great.
**[1:02:13] Kazune (Age 38)**
Hey! What are you doing?
**[1:02:15] Kazune (Age 38)**
I went to the trouble of
bringing a glass, even.
**[1:02:19] Koyomi (Age 38)**
It doesn't make a difference.
**[1:02:22] Kazune (Age 38)**
It definitely *does*.
**[1:02:36] Koyomi (Age 38)**
The bubbles... are sinking?!
**[1:02:38] Kazune (Age 38)**
Neat, right?
**[1:02:41] Kazune (Age 38)**
The viscosity of the beer exceeds
buoyancy of the convecting bubbles
**[1:02:45] Kazune (Age 38)**
and they flow down along the glass.
**[1:02:47] Kazune (Age 38)**
It's called a Guinness Cascade.
**[1:02:51] Koyomi (Age 38)**
The viscosity of the beer... Bubbles...
**[1:02:58] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Viscosity...
**[1:03:00] Koyomi (Age 38)**
The concept of imaginary viscosity...
**[1:03:03] Kazune (Age 38)**
Koyomi?
**[1:03:05] Kazune (Age 38)**
Buoyancy and imaginary density...
**[1:03:09] Kazune (Age 38)**
Overwriting of IPs and stabilization...
**[1:03:14] Shoudai (Age 35)**
* The world began as a single bubble*
* formed deep in the water.*
**[1:03:21] Koyomi (Age 38)**
That's it.
**[1:03:27] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* The world is a macro bubble*
* floating in the imaginary sea*
**[1:03:30] Koyomi (Age 38)**
*and we are micro bubbles inside it.*
**[1:03:33] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* Think from the standpoint*
* of this fundamental concept.*
**[1:03:37] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* First, extend the IP Capsule's functionality*
* and compress the target imaginary mass.*
**[1:03:42] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* Next, extend the functionality of IP Lock*
* and secure the target imaginality.*
**[1:03:48] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* If you create a vortex by overwriting*
* the IP of the surrounding imaginary space*
**[1:03:51] Koyomi (Age 38)**
*to generate a downdraft...*
**[1:03:56] Kazune (Age 38)**
The now-smaller imaginality's buoyancy
falls below the imaginary viscosity,
**[1:04:00] Kazune (Age 38)**
and it begins to sink
into the imaginary sea.
**[1:04:05] Koyomi (Age 38)**
After sinking to the split point,
**[1:04:08] Koyomi (Age 38)**
it will fuse with the pre-split
imaginality due to high coherence,
**[1:04:11] Koyomi (Age 38)**
then regain its buoyancy.
**[1:04:14] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Time Shifting is possible!
**[1:04:17] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Shiori can be saved!
**[1:04:19] Kazune (Age 38)**
Yes.
**[1:04:21] Kazune (Age 38)**
Yes!
**[1:04:24] Kazune (Age 38)**
Congratulations.
**[1:04:25] Kazune (Age 38)**
You've pulled ahead of me again.
**[1:04:29] Koyomi (Age 38)**
What're you talking about?
**[1:04:30] Koyomi (Age 38)**
We discovered this together.
**[1:04:33] Kazune (Age 38)**
You really are amazing.
**[1:04:39] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Kazune?
**[1:04:42] Kazune (Age 38)**
That's said, it's still an untested theory.
**[1:04:46] Kazune (Age 38)**
The contest isn't over.
**[1:04:52] Kazune (Age 38)**
Here's to Koyomi Hidaka!
**[1:04:54] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Okay, I get it. I get it.
**[1:04:58] Kazune (Age 38)**
There's one thing still bugging me, though.
**[1:05:02] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Was there a mistake somewhere?
**[1:05:04] Kazune (Age 38)**
Not about the theory.
About the Shifted imaginality.
**[1:05:07] Kazune (Age 38)**
Once it fuses with the original imaginality,
**[1:05:09] Kazune (Age 38)**
there should be virtually
no traces left, right?
**[1:05:13] Kazune (Age 38)**
If that's the case,
then the Shifted imaginality...
**[1:05:16] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Most likely won't retain
its memories or personality.
**[1:05:22] Kazune (Age 38)**
Are you okay with that?
**[1:05:25] Koyomi (Age 38)**
If it means Shiori will live in a world
where she can find happiness.
**[1:05:36] Kazune (Age 38)**
And what is that world like?
**[1:05:40] Koyomi (Age 38)**
It's...
**[1:05:43] Koyomi (Age 38)**
a world where Shiori and I
will absolutely never meet.
**[1:06:26] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Koyomi, where'd you get that?
**[1:06:28] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Dad bought it for me last time I saw him.
**[1:06:32] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
It's my present for my eighth birthday!
**[1:06:44] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Yuno.
**[1:06:46] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Bang.
**[1:06:50] Koyomi's Grandpa**
You're too young to have this.
**[1:06:53] Koyomi's Grandpa**
It says it's for ages 10 and up.
**[1:06:56] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Yeah...
**[1:06:58] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
But the other kids have them, too.
**[1:07:01] Koyomi's Grandpa**
You don't need to copy bad stuff
from the other kids.
**[1:07:04] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Grandpa!
**[1:07:15] Koyomi's Mom**
Koyomi, is something wrong?
**[1:07:23] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I'm never talking to Grandpa again!
**[1:07:49] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Mom.
**[1:07:51] Koyomi's Mom**
Yes, dear?
**[1:07:52] Koyomi's Mom**
Can I take Yuno for her walk?
**[1:07:55] Koyomi's Mom**
Go ahead.
**[1:07:57] Koyomi's Mom**
But come back early so you
can get ready for the wake.
**[1:08:11] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Yuno?
**[1:08:15] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Geez...
**[1:08:18] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
You can't just take off.
**[1:08:20] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Hey! Yuno!
**[1:08:21] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Stop, Yuno!
**[1:08:22] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Wait! W—
**[1:08:50] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Hey. Can you open this?
**[1:08:53] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Open this lid.
**[1:09:03] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Thanks.
**[1:09:09] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Hey, wait a second!
***SIGN*** Imaginary Science Research Institute

Imaginary Science...
**[1:09:48] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
This is where Dad works.
**[1:09:51] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
U-Um! Um, excuse me, ma'am?
**[1:09:56] Koyomi's Mom**
I was really surprised to get a call
from you all of a sudden.
**[1:10:00] Koyomi's Mom**
You could have just called your dad
since you were at the Institute.
**[1:10:04] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I don't have Dad's cell phone number, though.
**[1:10:07] Koyomi's Mom**
But you have mine?
**[1:10:09] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I don't have it. I know it.
I call it all the time.
**[1:10:14] Koyomi's Mom**
What are you talking about?
You're a goofball.
**[1:10:21] Koyomi's Mom**
I'm home. Koyomi's visiting.
**[1:10:24] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Visiting?
**[1:10:27] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Hey there, Koyomi.
**[1:10:28] Koyomi's Mom**
Is Mom in the kitchen?
**[1:10:31] Koyomi's Grandpa**
She is.
**[1:10:33] Koyomi's Grandpa**
It's been a while. Tell me, how've you been?
**[1:10:38] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
*I'm in a different world.*
**[1:10:40] Koyomi's Grandma**
If I'd known, I could've made
something special!
**[1:10:44] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Not that you ever need to call us first.
This is your home, too, Koyomi.
**[1:10:45] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
* This is a world where*
* I chose to go with my dad.*
**[1:10:49] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
* And it's a world where*
* Grandpa's still alive.*
**[1:10:51] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Right?
**[1:10:52] Koyomi's Mom**
Right.
**[1:10:53] Koyomi's Grandma**
That's right. Come by any time.
**[1:10:56] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Now then, I think
I'll go give Yuno her supper.
**[1:11:07] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Yuno, Koyomi came to see us today.
**[1:11:18] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Grandpa.
**[1:11:19] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Ah, Koyomi.
**[1:11:21] Koyomi's Grandpa**
What is it?
**[1:11:23] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Can I sleep in your room with you tonight?
**[1:11:27] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Yes, of course you can.
**[1:11:36] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
So Yuno's gone.
**[1:11:39] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Yeah.
**[1:11:43] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
There's no way we could
make it so she's alive again?
**[1:11:47] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Unfortunately, that's not possible.
The dead can't come back to life.
**[1:11:57] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Grandpa, I'm sorry.
**[1:12:00] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I never got to say sorry after our fight.
**[1:12:05] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Our fight?
**[1:12:06] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Did we have a fight
the last time you came over?
**[1:12:13] Koyomi's Grandpa**
Did your old Grandpa
scold you for something?
**[1:12:18] Koyomi's Grandma**
Even when that happens, it doesn't
mean Grandpa doesn't love you.
**[1:12:22] Koyomi's Grandma**
Don't worry.
**[1:12:33] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I love you, too, Grandpa.
**[1:12:57] Koyomi's Mom**
Good morning.
**[1:13:01] Koyomi's Mom**
Mom?
**[1:13:06] Koyomi's Mom**
What is it?
**[1:13:08] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Where's Grandpa?
**[1:13:11] Koyomi's Mom**
The funeral people made
him look really nice,
**[1:13:13] Koyomi's Mom**
and now he's resting in the main hall.
**[1:13:21] Koyomi's Mom**
Is something wrong?
**[1:13:23] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Mom, yesterday I...
**[1:13:26] Koyomi's Mom**
There's no reason to feel embarrassed.
**[1:13:28] Koyomi's Mom**
This is a tough time.
**[1:13:30] Koyomi's Mom**
It's perfectly normal to want some company.
**[1:13:35] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Okay.
**[1:13:36] Koyomi's Mom**
Now, let's get ready.
**[1:13:39] Koyomi's Mom**
We've gotta give Grandpa a proper sendoff.
**[1:13:57] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
I brought fresh water.
**[1:13:59] Koyomi's Mom**
Thanks.
**[1:14:00] Koyomi's Mom**
Put it down there.
**[1:14:03] Koyomi's Mom**
Now, take a look in the top
section of that tall cabinet.
**[1:14:07] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Okay.
**[1:14:08] Koyomi's Grandma**
Be careful, honey.
**[1:14:10] Koyomi (Age not specified but should be 8)**
Yes, Grandma.
**[1:14:15] Koyomi's Mom**
Mom, look.
**[1:14:17] Koyomi's Grandma**
Oh my. I'm amazed he saved this.
**[1:14:21] Koyomi's Mom**
What do we do with it?
**[1:14:22] Koyomi's Grandma**
Well, it's not like we need
to completely empty this room out,
**[1:14:25] Koyomi's Grandma**
so let's put it back and hold onto it.

Even with "former" added, the titles Director
and Deputy Director have their use, eh?
**[1:20:19] Kazune (Age 73)**
So... I'm going to be a killer.
**[1:20:26] Koyomi (Age 38)**
*It's...*
**[1:20:27] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* a world where Shiori and I*
* will absolutely never meet.*
**[1:20:31] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
What?
**[1:20:33] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
The event radius for Shiori's accident is
inside the event radius for us meeting.
**[1:20:39] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
In other words, in a world outside
that radius, the accident won't occur.
**[1:20:46] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
How do you intend to
salvage her imaginality?
**[1:20:50] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
I don't need to.
**[1:20:52] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Huh?
**[1:20:53] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
How can that be?
**[1:20:56] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
The correlation between IP coherence regions
and perception in imaginary space.
**[1:21:01] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
Although the coherence is low,
**[1:21:03] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
it's true that your and Shiori's IPs
have coherence regions.
**[1:21:07] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
However, the relationship Shiori
and I share is not coherence.
**[1:21:11] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
It's imaginary entanglement.
**[1:21:14] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* During my repeated Parallel*
* Shifting experiments,*
**[1:21:17] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* No matter what parallel world I Shifted to,*
* I encountered a ghost Shiori.*
**[1:21:22] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* Just one of those times,*
* I spoke to that Shiori.*
**[1:21:25] Koyomi (Age 38)**
* However, the Shiori in our world*
* remembered what we discussed.*
**[1:21:30] Koyomi (Age 38)**
*Shiori had been Shifting along with me.*
**[1:21:32] (Flashback) Shiori (Ghost)**
Oh! Remember that pigeon?
**[1:21:35] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
Our imaginalities probably became entangled
when we Shifted together at age 14.
**[1:21:42] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
And so, if *you* Shift, Shiori will Shift, too.
**[1:21:47] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
Exactly.
**[1:21:50] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
I'll take Shiori there.
**[1:21:54] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
I see. I believe your theory is correct.
**[1:21:58] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Still, Shiori is one thing,
but you have a body.
**[1:22:01] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
What happens to your body in this world?
**[1:22:06] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
The same thing that happened
back then, I imagine.
**[1:22:10] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Imaginary Element Fission Syndrome.
**[1:22:13] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Are you serious?
**[1:22:15] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Did I need more tact?
**[1:22:31] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
That was your plan all along, wasn't it?
**[1:22:34] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
For the cause to have "never existed."
**[1:22:38] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
So what?
**[1:22:40] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
Haven't you thought of
the people around you?!
**[1:22:43] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
What it would to do the Deputy
Director or the Director?!
**[1:22:46] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
It doesn't matter, as long as I can
restore Shiori's possibilities.
**[1:22:49] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
What meaning is there in a world where you
both lose your memories and never meet?!
**[1:22:54] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
It doesn't need meaning!
**[1:22:56] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
I can't forgive myself
for Shiori's misfortune!
**[1:22:59] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
I can't forgive this world where
Shiori can't find happiness!
**[1:23:15] (Flashback) Kazune (Age 38)**
You've gone mad.
**[1:23:20] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
Probably.
**[1:23:23] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
If you want out, you can bail.
**[1:23:26] (Flashback) Koyomi (Age 38)**
I'll do the rest myself.
**[1:23:30] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I'm sorry.
**[1:23:32] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I shouldn't have gotten you invol—
**[1:23:37] Kazune (Age 73)**
My tea's cold.
**[1:23:38] Kazune (Age 73)**
Get your house guest a fresh cup.
**[1:23:39] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Oh. Sure. One moment.
**[1:23:47] Kazune (Age 73)**
Don't apologize now.
**[1:23:49] Kazune (Age 73)**
I'm doing this of my own volition.
**[1:23:52] Kazune (Age 73)**
I'm curious to see it.
**[1:23:54] Kazune (Age 73)**
Whether the bubble will really sink, I mean.
**[1:23:58] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I see.
**[1:24:03] Kazune (Age 73)**
*Not to mention...*
**[1:24:05] Kazune (Age 73)**
*To love someone so much it drives you mad...*
**[1:24:08] Kazune (Age 73)**
*I'm envious.*
**[1:24:14] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I'm sorry you had to wait so long.
**[1:24:19] Shiori (Ghost)**
What do you mean?
**[1:24:22] Koyomi (Age 73)**
We met as kids and you
suffered your accident...
**[1:24:28] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It's been six decades since then.
**[1:24:32] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It's truly been a long time.
**[1:24:35] Shiori (Ghost)**
Koyomi-kun?
**[1:24:37] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Shiori,
**[1:24:39] Koyomi (Age 73)**
this is farewell.
**[1:24:43] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Today I'm going to take you to a world
where you and I absolutely never meet.
**[1:24:50] Koyomi (Age 73)**
You'll lead a new, happy life there.
**[1:24:55] Shiori (Ghost)**
You mean we'll never get
to see each other again?
**[1:24:59] Kazune (Age 73)**
That's right.
**[1:25:01] Shiori (Ghost)**
Not ever?
**[1:25:03] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Absolutely never.
**[1:25:06] Koyomi (Age 73)**
We mustn't see each other.
**[1:25:11] Shiori (Ghost)**
That's... too much...
**[1:25:14] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Please understand, Shiori.
**[1:25:16] Koyomi (Age 73)**
The event of you experiencing
Imaginary Element Fission Syndrome
**[1:25:20] Koyomi (Age 73)**
is within the event radius of us meeting.
**[1:25:23] Koyomi (Age 73)**
So, we—
**[1:25:24] Shiori (Ghost)**
I don't get it!
**[1:25:25] Shiori (Ghost)**
I don't understand any of this!
**[1:25:28] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It has to be that way in order to save you.
**[1:25:31] Shiori (Ghost)**
No.
**[1:25:32] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It'll be okay.
**[1:25:34] Koyomi (Age 73)**
If you just don't meet me, you won't
have to be stuck in this spot.
**[1:25:39] Shiori (Ghost)**
I hate this. I can't stand the idea
of never getting to see you...
**[1:25:44] Kazune (Age 73)**
Shiori.
**[1:25:46] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I hate it, too...
**[1:25:49] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I wish I could be with you...
**[1:25:57] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Fine.
**[1:25:59] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I'll make you a promise.
**[1:26:02] Shiori (Ghost)**
A promise?
**[1:26:04] Koyomi (Age 73)**
In the world where we'll lead new lives,
**[1:26:07] Koyomi (Age 73)**
one month from now, on August 17th,
**[1:26:11] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I'll come for you
at this intersection, Shiori.
**[1:26:16] Shiori (Ghost)**
August 17th...
**[1:26:19] Koyomi (Age 73)**
That's right.
**[1:26:20] Koyomi (Age 73)**
We'll be going back to when we were 7,
**[1:26:23] Koyomi (Age 73)**
so it'll be... 66 years from then.
***SIGN*** July
***SIGN*** July 17th
**[1:26:27] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I'll come for you at this same time. 10 AM.
**[1:26:33] Shiori (Ghost)**
Will you really?
**[1:26:34] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Yes. I promise you.
**[1:26:40] Shiori (Ghost)**
66 years...
**[1:26:43] Shiori (Ghost)**
It's so far off.
**[1:26:45] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It is.
**[1:26:47] Koyomi (Age 73)**
But that's the same amount of time
we've gone through together.
**[1:26:53] Koyomi (Age 73)**
We're just going to do it over again.
**[1:26:57] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Can you remember my promise for that long?
**[1:27:03] Shiori (Ghost)**
Yeah.
**[1:27:04] Shiori (Ghost)**
I won't forget. I swear.
**[1:27:10] Koyomi (Age 38)**
Well, then...
**[1:27:12] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I have to go now.
**[1:27:13] Shiori (Ghost)**
Okay.
**[1:27:17] Koyomi (Age 73)**
See you again, Shiori.
**[1:27:20] Shiori (Ghost)**
Yeah. See you again.
**[1:27:31] Shiori (Ghost)**
Koyomi-kun!
**[1:27:35] Shiori (Ghost)**
I'm glad I met you!
**[1:27:40] Shiori (Ghost)**
I love you.
**[1:27:49] Kazune (Age 73)**
A promise, huh?
**[1:27:51] Koyomi (Age 73)**
In other words, I thought we
could let that hope remain.
**[1:27:58] Kazune (Age 73)**
Indeed.
**[1:28:05] Kazune (Age 73)**
Is there anything you want to say?
**[1:28:08] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Like my final words?
**[1:28:10] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Hmm...
**[1:28:12] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Let's see...
**[1:28:19] Koyomi (Age 73)**
How beautiful.
**[1:28:22] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Is it an aquamarine?
**[1:28:24] Kazune (Age 73)**
Oh.
**[1:28:25] Kazune (Age 73)**
Isn't it nice?
**[1:28:26] Kazune (Age 73)**
I got a matching ring.
**[1:28:29] Koyomi (Age 73)**
It suits you.
**[1:28:32] Kazune (Age 73)**
Well, I'll close the Capsule now.
**[1:28:34] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Thank you.
**[1:28:38] Koyomi (Age 73)**
Thank you, Kazune.
**[1:28:56] Kazune (Age 73)**
Farewell, Koyomi.
**[1:28:59] Kazune (Age 73)**
May you find happiness.
**[1:34:41] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
So, I'm still alive.
**[1:35:00] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
Huh?
**[1:35:07] IP device**
*Schedule notes.*
**[1:35:09] IP device**
*There is one entry on today's page.*
**[1:35:14] IP device**
* 10 AM. August 17th.*
* Showa-dori Intersection.*
**[1:35:21] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
An entry you don't recall?
**[1:35:23] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
Yeah.
**[1:35:25] Koyomi (Age 73)**
I have absolutely no memory of it,
but it was entered into my IP device.
**[1:35:31] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
I see. How strange.
**[1:35:34] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
Why not go?
**[1:35:38] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
Aren't you curious?
**[1:35:40] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
If you go there, you might
remember something.
**[1:35:43] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
That's true. And it's in the neighborhood.
**[1:35:53] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
I'll be back in a bit.
**[1:35:55] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
Yes, dear. Be careful.
**[1:35:59] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
Hold on.
**[1:36:01] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
Your hat. I'll go get it.
**[1:36:05] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
Oh, that one's fine.
**[1:36:08] Kazune (Age not specified; but most likely 73)**
This one?
**[1:36:40] Shiori (Ghost)**
What is this place?
**[1:36:58] Shiori (Ghost)**
A promise...
**[1:37:16] Shiori (Ghost)**
That's right... There's someone who...
**[1:37:21] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Shiori.
**[1:37:30] Shiori (Age 14)**
Koyomi... kun?
**[1:37:33] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[1:37:36] Shiori (Age 14)**
You came for me?
**[1:37:39] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Yeah. I'm here.
**[1:37:43] Koyomi (Age 14)**
Let's get married.
**[1:38:13] Koyomi (Age not specified but most likely 73)**
Excuse me, ma'am. If possible,
might I ask your name?
**[1:38:18] Shiori (Age 73)**
My name's not important. I'm nobody special.
