[00:01] ---
    DECEMBER 22, 2021
[00:02] ---
    It's from...
[00:03] ---
    ASUMI
[00:03] ---
    - Asumi.
    - Asumin.
[00:22] ---
    If you give the CMD to Ran, the existence
    of my conscience will be proven,
[00:28] ---
    and my father will be accused for crimes.
[00:31] ---
    In the end, it will cancel the referendum.
[00:33] ---
    The KANAE System will be dismantled,
    and the 24th Ward will return to the way it was.
[00:39] ---
    "Everyday life that is free,
    but with no guarantees of safety."
[00:46] ---
    If you give the CMD to my brother,
    the bugs in Hazard Cast will be corrected,
[00:52] ---
    and the ward referendum will proceed.
[00:54] ---
    The KANAE System laws will take effect.
[00:58] ---
    Providing extremely thorough personal information
    will become mandated,
[01:02] ---
    and the 24th Ward will see "everyday life
    with guaranteed safety at the cost of privacy."
[01:09] ---
    Privacy that respects individuals,
    or safety that deems everyone important...
[01:15] ---
    The future of the 24th Ward.
[01:19] ---
    RGB, the three of you need to choose.
[01:27] ---
    Bye-bye.
[01:34] ---
    Don't "bye-bye" me.
[01:38] ---
    When she has that face,
    there's no way I can choose a future.
[01:44] ---
    I'm gonna go see Asumi!
[01:47] ---
    What a coincidence.
[01:48] ---
    Agreed 100%!
[01:50] ---
    Asumin's location has to be there.
[01:52] ---
    I wonder where you pilfered that intel from?
[02:00] ---
    Sorry I made you wait.
[02:02] ---
    Good timing, as always!
[02:04] ---
    Let's see, here it is.
[02:07] ---
    Be careful. The town is filled with SARG
    trying to suppress the protestors.
[02:11] ---
    Figures.
[02:13] ---
    Ko, can we leave the driving to you?
[02:15] ---
    Of course. I can predict
    how SARG deployed their troops.
[02:19] ---
    Shu!
[02:21] ---
    Whoa, what?
[02:22] ---
    Here. I was making these this past year.
[02:25] ---
    I had it completed.
    I'm glad I can give it to you now.
[02:32] ---
    Well, this is...
[02:34] ---
    absolutely awesome.
[02:37] ---
    Now, get in!
[02:39] ---
    We can't waste one second!
[02:41] ---
    - Yep!
    - Yeah!
[02:45] ---
    In order to meet Asumin,
    we need a special program.
[02:50] ---
    Right now, with the Cipher's boosting,
[02:52] ---
    I can alter the basic data
    Kunai left behind a lot faster.
[02:56] ---
    If we use this we'll be able to have
    a direct conversation with Asumin.
[03:02] ---
    This isn't right.
[03:04] ---
    Why are you trying to come see me?
[03:07] ---
    I just contacted you to say goodbye.
[03:10] ---
    I don't want to see you guys anymore.
[03:14] ---
    If I see you, I...
[03:26] ---
    What was that? So dangerous!
[03:28] ---
    There's no driver.
    That was autonomous driving.
[03:30] ---
    Could that be Asumi?
[03:32] ---
    Probably.
[03:33] ---
    The KANAE System is a broad system
    that includes traffic systems as well.
[03:38] ---
    Seems like she really doesn't want us
    to come visit, huh?
[03:41] ---
    Seriously? That depresses me.
[03:42] ---
    Stubbornness runs in the blood.
[03:45] ---
    She's always been like that.
[03:47] ---
    You never know her true feelings
    until you get it out of her in person.
[03:51] ---
    Yeah!
[03:52] ---
    Shu!
[03:53] ---
    I'm stopping that truck up ahead.
[03:56] ---
    But how...
[04:00] ---
    I sent you a map.
[04:01] ---
    Look at it, and make sure
    there won't be any damage in that area.
[04:05] ---
    There.
[04:11] ---
    So that's what this was about.
[04:14] ---
    So reckless!
[04:35] ---
    I don't want to determine everyone's future.
[04:40] ---
    I can't watch anymore stressful futures.
[04:46] ---
    Please, just liberate me without coming here.
[04:49] ---
    If I see you guys,
    I'd be overflowing with regrets.
[04:54] ---
    We're against the KANAE System referendum!
[04:57] ---
    Return our Shantytown to us!
[05:00] ---
    We'll march right into the mayor's office!
[05:04] ---
    Kinako, look.
[05:06] ---
    No way.
[05:07] ---
    Seriously?
[05:09] ---
    It's not just Ran.
[05:11] ---
    Koki, Shuta, and...
[05:14] ---
    everyone in town!
[05:16] ---
    They're all getting designated as terrorists.
[05:19] ---
    This is definitely wrong!
[05:22] ---
    This is proof that the System BRAIN
    is overflowing.
[05:26] ---
    To stop this rampage, Gori Suido
    has to put his pitchfork down.
[05:31] ---
    Or else...
[05:33] ---
    Mayor, are you planning on responding
    to 0th's request for a conversation?
[05:39] ---
    Not at all.
[05:41] ---
    Civilians are being restrained
    one after another on false charges.
[05:44] ---
    Is Hazard Cast experiencing an abnormality?
[05:47] ---
    I have not received such reports.
[05:50] ---
    The KANAE System is perfect.
[05:56] ---
    KANAE SYSTEM
    BILL DELIBERATION BEGINS
[05:57] ---
    That can't be...
[05:58] ---
    Shuta is a terrorist?
[06:01] ---
    Idiots! There's no way
    Shu would do something like that!
[06:05] ---
    That's right. All of this is weird.
[06:07] ---
    Even Mr. Nakamura being asked to go
    to the police station...
[06:10] ---
    Maybe KANAE System
    is all screwed up after all?
[06:16] ---
    We should participate in the protest as well!
[06:19] ---
    Yeah!
[06:21] ---
    - I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind!
    - That's the spirit!
[06:25] ---
    What about you, Mari?
[06:27] ---
    I'll stay here
    and wait for everyone to come back.
[06:35] ---
    Terrorist! Stop right there!
[06:38] ---
    If you don't stop, I'll shoot!
[06:40] ---
    You're telling me to stop,
[06:43] ---
    but there's no way I will!
[06:52] ---
    I-I'll hit you with the next shot!
[06:56] ---
    Ms. Hana!
[07:06] ---
    You can't, RGB.
[07:10] ---
    Please don't give me any more agony!
[07:16] ---
    Damn it, the shutters are down!
[07:22] ---
    Mr. Koki.
[07:27] ---
    I've been listening to your situation.
[07:28] ---
    Sheesh.
[07:30] ---
    The control room cannot regain access
    to the crime prevention system, either.
[07:34] ---
    I've been re-examining it
    to see if there's a point of entry.
[07:38] ---
    Do you have the blueprints for the Cornucopia?
[07:44] ---
    A perfect system doesn't exist.
[07:47] ---
    As long as humans were behind the creation,
    there should be an open seam somewhere.

[07:54] ---
    I see it!
[07:58] ---
    If you go down the elevator shaft
    that's under construction,
[08:00] ---
    then go through
    the trash disposal chute along the way,
[08:04] ---
    we'll end up at the underground
    materials import corridor.
[08:07] ---
    You can go through the ventilation ducts
    to arrive right in front of the Core Room!
[08:13] ---
    Done!
[08:14] ---
    Hurry!
[08:19] ---
    They're so reckless.
[08:21] ---
    But heroes always do reckless things.
[08:28] ---
    The trash disposal chute should be right below.
[08:32] ---
    Then, let's go!
[08:34] ---
    Yeah!
[08:44] ---
    Next up is the ventilation ducts
    beyond the import corridor?
[08:46] ---
    Yeah.
[08:52] ---
    Why can't you just
    quietly choose a future for me?
[08:58] ---
    I don't need any hope.
[09:01] ---
    Because I learned that a future
    where everyone is happy is just a dream!
[09:06] ---
    The person who taught a brat in Shantytown
    that he has infinite possibilities was you, Asumin!

[09:12] ---
    Choose from the tracks set for us?
[09:14] ---
    That's not who we are!
[09:17] ---
    Even if it looks impossible,
    if we can face each other, talk it out,

[09:21] ---
    and pool our wisdom, we can solve it.
[09:25] ---
    So please meet with us
    and let us hear your story!

[09:30] ---
    But I have to give up something.
[09:35] ---
    Isn't that what it means to become an adult?
[09:42] ---
    Another door.
[09:43] ---
    The System Core is up ahead.
[09:46] ---
    All right, I'm gonna break it open!
[09:51] ---
    - Shu!
    - Ow.
[09:52] ---
    You're so reckless. However...
[09:57] ---
    Asumi, you're watching us, right?
[09:59] ---
    We will not turn back until we see you!
[10:02] ---
    That's right. As you know, little ol' me
    can't finish my art without you, Asumin!
[10:09] ---
    Asumi, you're scared of facing us
    in person, aren't you?
[10:12] ---
    However, you have the duty of facing
    the foolish guys that you've affected!
[10:19] ---
    This is a ritual for us to move forward!
[10:23] ---
    You promised us when we were kids.
[10:26] ---
    I'm your hero.
[10:28] ---
    When you're in pain or when you're crying,
    I'll rush over to you no matter how far I may be!
[10:38] ---
    You finally gave up, huh?
[10:50] ---
    Asumi!
[10:54] ---
    What have they done to you?
[11:05] ---
    - I'm in!
    - Let's hurry.
[11:08] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[11:22] ---
    Gori Suido, come on stage and talk with me!
[11:26] ---
    Hey 0th! Are you trying
    to destroy the 24th Ward?
[11:29] ---
    This is destruction for the sake of creation.
[11:31] ---
    This is not the world that Ms. Kanae wished for.
[11:34] ---
    Why you...
[11:35] ---
    Are you still pretending to be a hero?
[11:37] ---
    Bring it!
[11:40] ---
    Mayor! Please come down
    and speak with the protestors!
[11:43] ---
    At this rate, we don't know
    when we'll have casualties.
[11:46] ---
    That's a good thing for the referendum.
[11:50] ---
    I can't believe it.
[11:52] ---
    You weren't like this
    when Ms. Kanae was still around!
[11:56] ---
    How dare you say that!
[12:05] ---
    Asumi?
[12:10] ---
    Ran.
[12:19] ---
    Miss Asumi.
[12:22] ---
    If left alone, the KANAE System
    will run further out of control.
[12:27] ---
    I need to disappear or disperse myself.
[12:30] ---
    I can't linger around forever.
[12:34] ---
    I have to bid farewell to everyone.
[12:36] ---
    That's not—
[12:37] ---
    There's no other way! Isn't that right?
[12:42] ---
    Well, yeah.
[12:44] ---
    But we—
[12:45] ---
    Stop it!
[12:47] ---
    Please, don't torture me anymore!
[12:51] ---
    Accept it, or destroy it.
    The future is one of those two.

[12:55] ---
    No matter which future you choose,
    I can't stay with everyone.

[13:00] ---
    I'm no longer human.
    I am the KANAE System itself.

[13:06] ---
    What happened in the 24th Ward's past,
[13:09] ---
    what's happening right now,
[13:10] ---
    and what will happen in the future...
[13:12] ---
    I know everything!
[13:15] ---
    Choosing the correct future
[13:18] ---
    means you abandon the mistaken future!
[13:21] ---
    You choose the humans who can't be saved.
[13:23] ---
    It's a task that someone has to do!
[13:26] ---
    It isn't!
[13:28] ---
    Such a responsibility is intolerable for humans.
[13:31] ---
    I created the KANAE System
    because it was intolerable!
[13:35] ---
    And yet, I never imagined
    Asumi's conscience still remained.
[13:43] ---
    My physical body is already dead.
[13:45] ---
    I can't return to what I was.
[13:47] ---
    Meeting you and talking with you
    is completely meaningless now.
[13:52] ---
    Forget me!
[13:53] ---
    I've been saying that this whole time,
    so why did you come?
[13:56] ---
    Doing this only agonizes everyone!
[14:14] ---
    I didn't know, either.
[14:18] ---
    I want to see you, I want to talk to you,
    I want to confirm that you're alive,
[14:24] ---
    I want to know
    why you sent those Ciphers to us,
[14:28] ---
    and I want to apologize about the fire...
[14:30] ---
    My head was in a mess, all mixed up,
    and I didn't understand anything.
[14:36] ---
    I hesitated on coming to see you,
[14:39] ---
    and I'm actually shaking right now.
[14:42] ---
    But now that I see you, I finally understand.
[14:45] ---
    You suffered so much by yourself
    for everyone else's happiness.
[14:50] ---
    Asumi, you suffered and agonized so much,
    yet your face looks like that?
[14:56] ---
    I'm not convinced because of that!
[15:00] ---
    We can take your place.
[15:04] ---
    We won't shove this responsibility to anyone!
[15:06] ---
    We will guide ourselves to our own futures!
[15:09] ---
    And I'm saying such a burden shouldn't be
    on all of your backs. That's impossible.
[15:15] ---
    No.
[15:16] ---
    Even if it's impossible for one person,
    we will do it all together.
[15:21] ---
    Our future is something where everyone will give
    their own opinions, and grasp it from within that.
[15:27] ---
    But if you fail, you can't undo it!
    It's too late if you've already lost something!
[15:33] ---
    We'll likely fail. We'll lose something again.
[15:38] ---
    But what's important is to accept the result,
    no matter what happens.
[15:43] ---
    With our own strength, we'll search to the very end
    for a choice that we can be ready for.
[15:47] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[15:49] ---
    But something like that...
[15:51] ---
    We can do it.
    No, we will make sure to do it.
[15:54] ---
    Yes, we can!
[15:58] ---
    We can make the impossible, possible.
[16:14] ---
    I see.
[16:18] ---
    Such a future...
[16:26] ---
    might be possible if it's RGB.
[16:29] ---
    I wish I could've seen such a future with you.
[16:33] ---
    Asumi.
[16:38] ---
    You understand, right? Asumi is already dead.
[16:42] ---
    We...
[16:43] ---
    We came here to say goodbye.
[16:46] ---
    No...
[16:48] ---
    I don't want to!
[16:51] ---
    I can't accept something like that.
[16:56] ---
    I don't get it!
[16:58] ---
    Because I became a hero...
[17:01] ---
    for you, Asumi.
[17:06] ---
    Because it brought you joy.
[17:08] ---
    Because it made you smile.
[17:12] ---
    Shuta.
[17:14] ---
    Thank you, Shuta.
[17:20] ---
    You're smiling.
[17:29] ---
    Asumi!
[17:30] ---
    I... I...
[17:34] ---
    I love you!
[17:40] ---
    Yes. Me, too.
[17:43] ---
    I love you too, Shuta.
[17:47] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:49] ---
    It's obvious that I love you more.
    Isn't that right, Asumi?
[17:55] ---
    Big Brother.
[17:56] ---
    Sheesh, you're so attached.
[17:58] ---
    Little ol' me loves you too.
[18:02] ---
    My goddess of art.
[18:04] ---
    I can't ask for more from a subject of worship.
[18:07] ---
    Ran.
[18:09] ---
    I can't ask more for words of love.
[18:12] ---
    I love you too!
[18:14] ---
    Thanks to you, Asumi, I'm still alive.
    Thank you!
[18:19] ---
    I love you, too! You gave me the reason
    to take my first step forward!
[18:26] ---
    I love you.
[18:28] ---
    I love you.
[18:30] ---
    I love you. Asumi, I love you so much.
[18:35] ---
    I love you!
[18:36] ---
    I love you.
[18:38] ---
    Asumi, I love you!
[18:41] ---
    I love you.
[18:42] ---
    I love you!
[18:43] ---
    I don't get it, but...
[18:46] ---
    - Yeah.
    - I love you.
[18:48] ---
    I love you!
[18:50] ---
    I love you.
[18:52] ---
    I love you.
[18:54] ---
    I love you.
[18:57] ---
    I love you!
[19:03] ---
    I love all of you, too!
[19:07] ---
    But...
[19:09] ---
    I think I'm at my limit.
[19:13] ---
    Hey, my hero. Can I ask you for a favor?
[19:18] ---
    A favor?
[19:20] ---
    I would like to say goodbye now.
[19:27] ---
    Is that really what you wish for?
[19:34] ---
    Yeah.
[19:35] ---
    I've been watching you the whole time, Shuta.
[19:38] ---
    You were so pathetic it was hard to watch.
[19:42] ---
    And I'd hate it
    if you can't move forward because of me.
[19:47] ---
    Shuta, you need to move on, too.
[19:53] ---
    Shuta.
[19:55] ---
    Shu.
[19:59] ---
    If you say that, then I...
[20:07] ---
    Goodbye, Asumi.
[20:11] ---
    Goodbye, Shuta.
[20:43] ---
    Was that...
[20:45] ---
    Yeah. That was Ran and his friends.
[20:49] ---
    Everyone.
[20:51] ---
    I would like to talk about the truth
    behind the KANAE System.
[20:59] ---
    This is how it should be.
[21:02] ---
    Isn't that right?
[21:04] ---
    Lady Kanae...
[21:10] ---
    APRIL 6, 2022
[21:14] ---
    Dad, I'm going to start attending
    art school this year.
[21:22] ---
    I'll work hard, so please watch over me.
[21:25] ---
    It's done!
[21:29] ---
    Amazing!
[21:31] ---
    But this place is getting torn down
    because of seismic resistance issues, right?
[21:35] ---
    Everything constantly changes.
    Even Shantytown changes.
[21:41] ---
    And not everything is bad.
[21:45] ---
    You're right!
[21:49] ---
    How was the homework I submitted?
[21:52] ---
    It was great, as I'd expect from you.
[21:54] ---
    We weren't able to create a substitute system
    for the previous KANAE System.

[22:00] ---
    That's why we relied on a biological brain.
[22:03] ---
    We humans will take its place.
[22:07] ---
    A reflection of open public opinion,
    we have KANAE System version 2.0!

[22:12] ---
    It's not perfect, but we'll do our best.
    That was Miss Asumi's last wish...

[22:18] ---
    ...and her desire.
[22:20] ---
    Little ol' us should live in that manner.
[22:23] ---
    Yo.
[22:25] ---
    Mr. Chikushi. Why are you here?
[22:28] ---
    I had a small errand.
[22:30] ---
    I heard you're transferring to your mother's

[22:36] ---

[22:39] ---
    Mr. Chikushi, you're all

[22:48] ---
    Koki, you should give your best, too.
[22:51] ---

    can grasp happy futures is on their...

[23:30] ---
    no, on everyone's shoulders.
[23:39] ---
    Hey, hand over all the cash you have! Huh?
[23:45] ---
    You're not hurt, are you?
[23:49] ---
    Want one?
[23:51] ---
    I baked this Golden Sunrise.
    It's fresh out of the oven and delicious!
