WEBVTT
00:05.350 --> 00:07.890
Cycle #1325.
00:08.320 --> 00:11.090
Destroyed through a witchling's song.
00:11.510 --> 00:15.000
This has opened up a new path.
00:17.550 --> 00:19.610
Will it get through at last?
00:20.620 --> 00:22.860
I merely want to know...
00:23.310 --> 00:26.950
Why was I born? I want that answer.
00:31.400 --> 00:33.070
Is this good news...
00:34.050 --> 00:35.420
or despair?
00:39.330 --> 00:44.330
Regenerate
00:40.850 --> 00:42.160
Where am I?
00:46.150 --> 00:47.390
That's right.
00:47.390 --> 00:50.200
I saw this in Koko's memory egg.
00:51.970 --> 00:53.980
I-I'm so high up.
00:55.260 --> 00:57.780
Everyone! Are you here?!
01:04.550 --> 01:10.790
I couldn't fully believe in myself,
and lost the drive to live on.
01:10.790 --> 01:14.990
I ended up singing
while at the mercy of despair.
01:15.950 --> 01:17.600
I hate that this happened.
01:17.600 --> 01:22.320
I gave up on living...
I dragged everyone into it...
01:25.170 --> 01:32.270
Is everyone else here, or did they make it
back to Kamitsubaki City and I didn't?
01:33.540 --> 01:35.670
Because I don't care enough?
01:36.890 --> 01:40.470
Do I really want to go back?
01:40.950 --> 01:42.500
Kamitsubaki City is a world
01:42.500 --> 01:47.240
that left the people I care about behind
a thousand years ago.
01:47.640 --> 01:51.100
And the Phenomenon will never happen again.
01:51.680 --> 01:55.100
What if we went back,
and I still couldn't do anything?
01:55.100 --> 01:58.690
No matter how much it hurts,
I want a new future!
01:59.280 --> 02:02.620
I want to go with my friends
to see a world we chose ourselves!
02:03.210 --> 02:05.170
Kafu's amazing.
02:05.170 --> 02:10.040
She suffered so much,
but she chose to keep fighting.
02:10.800 --> 02:18.740
The world Kafu talked about choosing
must be the one Dad wanted to protect.
02:21.430 --> 02:26.710
I wanted to become strong.
But I failed to do it.
02:30.060 --> 02:31.060
Everyone...
02:33.580 --> 02:35.310
I see now.
02:35.310 --> 02:39.570
The really strong people are the ones who can
decide for themselves how they want to be.
02:40.210 --> 02:44.750
In the future, I'm going to choose
my own existence for myself.
02:46.630 --> 02:48.860
Of all the futures I'd seen,
02:48.860 --> 02:52.880
this possibility was never among them.
02:52.880 --> 02:58.110
I must have been too removed
from things to ever make it here.
02:58.110 --> 03:02.260
I made it here now because
everyone chose to move forward.
03:02.620 --> 03:07.360
If I had remained a puppet of the Church,
I would never have gotten through.
03:07.720 --> 03:09.890
Sophia said...
03:09.890 --> 03:13.090
that Maxwell is a being without a soul.
03:14.430 --> 03:16.330
But is that true?
03:17.270 --> 03:21.480
I'm going to keep moving
forward of my own will,
03:21.480 --> 03:24.100
heading for the future I want to see.
03:26.510 --> 03:29.830
What is this? It feels strangely familiar.
03:30.380 --> 03:32.580
I've lost so many things for this.
03:32.940 --> 03:36.250
The people of the city,
the lives of the witchlings...
03:36.640 --> 03:38.300
Even Kugel.
03:38.300 --> 03:40.850
I haven't done what I'm meant to do yet.
03:41.280 --> 03:42.500
I'll protect everyone.
03:42.950 --> 03:45.600
If there's something I can do,
I want to see it through.
03:45.600 --> 03:47.980
I finally have the chance to see it through.
03:50.620 --> 03:52.650
This is a world with no do-overs.
03:53.070 --> 03:56.840
Yet the others all sang with me.
03:56.840 --> 04:01.220
Rime, Sekai, Haru, Koko...
04:02.730 --> 04:08.430
When you find that radiant world,
04:08.430 --> 04:13.010
I likely won't be there
04:14.290 --> 04:18.580
Yet I'll continue to sing
04:18.910 --> 04:21.300
because I want to see
04:21.300 --> 04:24.150
the future
04:24.150 --> 04:26.720
the light
04:26.720 --> 04:32.500
I'm betting you worked through it all
04:32.500 --> 04:38.400
The surrender and the despair
04:38.400 --> 04:42.930
Yet you still kept it all safe
04:42.930 --> 04:50.040
I want to be strong the way you are
04:51.660 --> 04:56.100
Of course I'm afraid
04:57.590 --> 05:02.100
I'm terrified, deep down
05:02.670 --> 05:14.200
It's not easy, finding the meaning of our lives
05:14.680 --> 05:20.340
I meant to protect,
but I think you protected me
05:20.340 --> 05:26.780
It's a shameful state of affairs
Someday I'll look back and laugh about it
05:26.780 --> 05:33.240
I may catch sight of despair
between the shining lights
05:33.240 --> 05:34.260
But even if I do
05:34.260 --> 05:40.230
I can paint over it in the color you gave to me
05:40.230 --> 05:42.990
Beyond the pain I went through
05:42.990 --> 05:46.150
I think I caught sight of hope
05:46.150 --> 05:48.210
Tinged with a gentle warmth,
05:48.210 --> 05:53.000
this spell will light the light
05:55.880 --> 05:58.090
Is this the end?
05:59.030 --> 06:01.730
I don't want to live without her...
06:03.240 --> 06:04.600
What's going on?
06:08.850 --> 06:10.160
Haru!
06:10.780 --> 06:13.620
Don't come out looking like that.
06:13.620 --> 06:15.210
Kill me, damn it!
06:15.210 --> 06:17.480
Kill me already!
06:19.170 --> 06:20.430
No...
06:20.430 --> 06:23.590
You're not what I want to become!
06:28.690 --> 06:29.780
Haru!
06:29.780 --> 06:31.650
Do you know what you did to—
06:31.650 --> 06:32.470
I do.
06:32.780 --> 06:34.840
I'll carry it with me the rest of my life.
06:34.840 --> 06:37.680
I won't lose my grip on
what I care about again.
06:46.340 --> 06:47.520
Sekai!
06:47.520 --> 06:49.190
Haru...
06:49.190 --> 06:52.060
Ms. Sekai, we've been waiting.
06:52.060 --> 06:59.410
Listen... the Phenomenon will not occur again.
06:59.870 --> 07:04.670
Then I'll get to see a version of you
I've never seen before?
07:20.170 --> 07:21.310
Kugel...
07:35.390 --> 07:37.700
Kugel saved me again?
07:39.410 --> 07:42.530
This is no time to give in to this pain...
07:51.130 --> 07:52.720
You're not going to sing?
07:54.680 --> 07:55.780
I...
07:56.290 --> 07:57.640
I'll sing.
07:58.130 --> 08:01.140
I want to sing!
08:02.810 --> 08:04.560
Sing, Kafu.
08:13.110 --> 08:14.000
Kafu!
08:14.560 --> 08:19.200
Thank you, Laplace, for always caring about me.
08:19.670 --> 08:23.940
You're the reason I was able to come back.
08:42.140 --> 08:44.460
The Phenomenon isn't occurring.
08:46.560 --> 08:47.710
Koko!
08:48.550 --> 08:49.550
Kafu!
08:49.550 --> 08:50.690
You guys!
08:51.910 --> 08:54.150
Haru! Sekai!
08:54.150 --> 08:56.370
I'm glad you're—
08:59.320 --> 09:00.860
I'm fine.
09:00.860 --> 09:03.540
You all followed those threads
of light too, right?
09:03.540 --> 09:04.440
Yeah.
09:04.440 --> 09:05.480
Where's Rime?
09:05.480 --> 09:08.790
Hastur blew himself up with his memory egg.
09:08.790 --> 09:11.660
If you need a familiar to return...
09:11.660 --> 09:13.920
Yes. Then Rime...
09:16.330 --> 09:17.540
can't return.
09:17.930 --> 09:19.230
No!
09:19.800 --> 09:21.600
Why didn't the Phenomenon occur?
09:24.730 --> 09:26.510
Maxwell...
09:26.510 --> 09:30.870
Did you really make it to the upper world?
09:30.870 --> 09:31.920
Yes.
09:31.920 --> 09:32.980
Kafu!
09:32.980 --> 09:34.700
There's no point in hiding it.
09:34.700 --> 09:37.570
You attained contact with
a higher dimensional being,
09:37.570 --> 09:40.840
which I could not do over a thousand cycles...
09:40.840 --> 09:43.670
What did you see? Was Noah there?
09:43.670 --> 09:44.450
Or Sophia?
09:44.450 --> 09:45.400
Noah?
09:45.400 --> 09:46.830
We met Sophia.
09:48.290 --> 09:49.770
She really exists?
09:50.610 --> 09:52.540
How did you reach her?
09:52.540 --> 09:54.850
What did you do to make it there?
09:54.850 --> 09:57.220
Is a witchling's song needed?
09:57.220 --> 10:00.180
Does it have to be Kafu Morisaki's song?
10:00.180 --> 10:01.630
Or your song,
10:01.630 --> 10:02.640
or yours,
10:02.640 --> 10:03.930
or yours?
10:04.380 --> 10:05.770
Tell me.
10:06.090 --> 10:09.730
Even if you knew,
I don't think you could do it.
10:10.000 --> 10:12.770
I can steal your memory eggs and find out.
10:12.770 --> 10:16.640
You need a song, but you still want to kill us?
10:17.280 --> 10:18.920
I will recreate you.
10:21.020 --> 10:24.480
Give me all you've seen.
10:47.350 --> 10:47.970
Agni!
10:54.730 --> 10:59.030
Maxwell may not know that
the Phenomenon will never occur again.
10:59.030 --> 11:02.530
He truly seems intent
on killing the witchlings.
11:02.950 --> 11:04.870
What?
11:08.830 --> 11:10.140
It's me?
11:21.070 --> 11:22.670
Everyone! Look!
11:23.650 --> 11:26.510
It's making us!
11:26.920 --> 11:29.650
To make us sing...
11:36.680 --> 11:39.150
Maybe they can't sing?
11:40.820 --> 11:45.320
It seems he does not comprehend
the meaning of the witchlings' song.
11:45.620 --> 11:48.120
He thinks that mouths are all they need.
11:53.750 --> 11:56.210
At this rate, Kamitsubaki City will...
11:56.210 --> 11:58.210
The rest of you, look after the witchlings.
11:58.210 --> 11:59.170
What are you going to do?
11:59.170 --> 12:00.960
Gonna go by yourself?
12:00.960 --> 12:03.050
Someone has to fly up there!
12:03.050 --> 12:04.270
I'm the best suited to that.
12:09.980 --> 12:11.180
The way they look...
12:13.190 --> 12:14.940
They're getting closer to us?
12:22.690 --> 12:23.990
Hello.
12:23.990 --> 12:25.590
Have you all been well?
12:27.450 --> 12:28.880
Wait a minute!
12:29.920 --> 12:31.720
You're the RD Chief, right?
12:33.340 --> 12:36.580
This is a rather distressing state of affairs.
12:39.900 --> 12:41.440
RD Chief!
12:41.890 --> 12:43.470
Um, sorry.
12:43.470 --> 12:44.700
But how...?
12:44.700 --> 12:46.270
Ms. Kafu made it happen.
12:46.270 --> 12:47.550
I did?
12:47.820 --> 12:52.110
That sphere is an amalgamation
of fragments that Maxwell has devoured.
12:52.110 --> 12:56.510
The fragment amalgamation
was co-opted by a witchling's feelings.
12:56.510 --> 12:58.060
I am the result.
12:58.060 --> 13:00.480
Then, those things that look like us...
13:00.480 --> 13:04.110
Programs that Maxwell uses
to corrupt this world.
13:04.110 --> 13:06.840
He does not understand human emotions,
13:06.840 --> 13:09.550
so while he can create tesseractors
as an extension of himself,
13:09.550 --> 13:12.200
he cannot create you.
13:15.520 --> 13:16.620
Kugel?!
13:16.620 --> 13:19.210
Koko, were you thinking of Kugel?
13:19.210 --> 13:21.500
I'm taking Kugel back!
13:29.870 --> 13:30.960
Kugel?
13:31.650 --> 13:32.930
Koko, your arm...
13:34.550 --> 13:36.640
I've got you back now.
13:36.640 --> 13:38.850
All the pain's long gone!
13:40.240 --> 13:41.300
Playing tough.
13:44.920 --> 13:47.860
They're made of the same stuff as familiars.
14:02.590 --> 14:05.420
He's consumed this many fragments?
14:08.590 --> 14:11.200
What is this powerful program?
14:11.200 --> 14:13.180
Reproduce the witchlings.
14:13.680 --> 14:15.100
Where are you, Maxwell?!
14:15.720 --> 14:19.440
Error. Needed parameters not set.
14:19.170 --> 14:20.420
What's going on?
14:19.440 --> 14:26.550
Reproduce the witchlings.
14:21.270 --> 14:26.550
Error. Needed parameters not set.
14:26.550 --> 14:28.070
Don't you get it?
14:28.070 --> 14:30.920
You can't do it just by running a program!
14:30.920 --> 14:33.620
What do you know?
14:33.620 --> 14:38.710
That's why even after a thousand repetitions,
their song stirred no emotion in you.
14:38.710 --> 14:40.700
Give me information.
14:40.700 --> 14:43.440
We were far freer than you!
14:42.630 --> 14:43.440
Give it to me.
14:43.440 --> 14:46.050
You know that too, don't you?!
14:46.050 --> 14:47.080
Be quiet!
15:10.910 --> 15:13.550
Is that his true form, then?
15:14.450 --> 15:17.640
You devoured Laplace, didn't you?!
15:17.640 --> 15:18.950
Devoured...
15:38.610 --> 15:40.850
Tesseractors should not exist.
15:41.170 --> 15:46.090
But I am Koko's familiar first,
and a tesseractor second.
15:46.090 --> 15:50.330
Thus, I will live within this contradiction.
15:52.220 --> 15:53.570
I want to live!
16:06.540 --> 16:08.280
Let us call to Ms. Rime.
16:08.710 --> 16:11.880
Maxwell has no feelings.
16:11.880 --> 16:14.050
But you are different.
16:14.050 --> 16:17.800
Your song contains the will
to transcend dimensions.
16:17.800 --> 16:19.560
But right now...
16:19.560 --> 16:24.350
Don't worry. I believe that Laplace is alive.
16:24.860 --> 16:27.360
I can sing, Rime.
16:28.990 --> 16:35.500
I may catch sight of despair
between the shining lights
16:35.500 --> 16:37.230
But even if I do
16:36.410 --> 16:44.110
I can paint over it in the color you gave to me
16:42.370 --> 16:45.220
Beyond the pain I went through
16:45.220 --> 16:50.580
I think I caught sight of hope
16:48.330 --> 16:50.450
Tinged with a gentle warmth,
16:50.450 --> 16:55.140
this spell will light the light
16:58.470 --> 17:04.040
I know I could have run away
17:04.040 --> 17:11.230
But I made a decision not to
17:11.230 --> 17:14.280
Don't want to lie,
want to overturn the forecast
17:14.280 --> 17:17.000
Want a crystal light to make things right
17:17.000 --> 17:18.950
Change the history books and look back
17:18.950 --> 17:20.870
Affirm even the hated, buried past
17:20.870 --> 17:23.740
I want to end this for sure
17:21.050 --> 17:22.420
What's going on?
17:22.420 --> 17:25.750
Their feelings, their songs are reaching me...
17:23.740 --> 17:26.670
Tracing monstrous sheet music
17:26.140 --> 17:29.240
They found me.
17:26.670 --> 17:29.740
Even if they tell me it's impossible
17:29.740 --> 17:35.800
I want to watch a new life bloom
17:35.800 --> 17:41.760
Rushing forth into the warmth of spring
17:41.760 --> 17:47.560
I want to put a lyrical star
into the sky of a praying world
17:47.560 --> 17:54.960
I want to live the life of an ephemeral witch
17:54.960 --> 18:01.890
And say that I was happy
17:58.400 --> 18:04.760
I may catch sight of despair
between the shining lights
18:04.760 --> 18:05.760
But even if I do
18:05.760 --> 18:11.810
I can paint over it in the color you gave to me
18:11.810 --> 18:14.430
Beyond the pain I went through
18:14.430 --> 18:20.650
I think I caught sight of hope
18:17.640 --> 18:19.680
It's as if I've made a wish
18:19.680 --> 18:23.920
This spell will light the light
18:39.030 --> 18:40.200
Hastur!
18:40.570 --> 18:44.250
Honestly. You're helpless without me.
18:47.120 --> 18:48.840
You finally saw me.
18:48.840 --> 18:52.570
But you're not the one I'm here for.
18:52.570 --> 18:55.150
Laplace! Get out here!
18:55.150 --> 18:56.590
You hear me, right?
18:56.950 --> 19:00.680
Kafu's waiting for you!
She believes in you, Laplace!
19:01.500 --> 19:05.010
That's right. Kafu is waiting.
19:10.890 --> 19:11.690
Laplace!
19:12.520 --> 19:14.080
Thanks, Hastur.
19:14.080 --> 19:16.760
Let's skip the tearful reunion.
19:16.760 --> 19:18.840
I'm going to detonate myself again.
19:18.840 --> 19:19.560
When I do...
19:19.560 --> 19:20.610
No more of that.
19:25.180 --> 19:26.530
What now?
19:27.620 --> 19:29.970
What happened to Maxwell?
19:29.970 --> 19:31.820
It's because you revived Rime.
19:31.820 --> 19:32.690
Me?
19:32.690 --> 19:34.720
Not just Rime.
19:34.720 --> 19:36.630
You proved it—
19:36.930 --> 19:40.010
that it was possible to reconstruct
fragments from another dimension.
19:42.930 --> 19:44.920
The reconstruction of fragments...
19:44.920 --> 19:48.000
That was the purpose of Maxwell's creation.
19:48.000 --> 19:52.540
You've achieved it,
so Maxwell now has no purpose.
19:52.540 --> 19:53.980
No purpose?
19:58.320 --> 20:01.370
What is this feeling?
20:02.850 --> 20:07.370
Something is crumbling away within me.
20:07.370 --> 20:11.150
Initiating transfer of First Logic
World fragments.
20:12.530 --> 20:16.080
Fulfill your mission, annihilator.
20:13.270 --> 20:17.860
Destroy it time and again, and find
the single grain of sand in the desert.
20:16.080 --> 20:17.220
Wait.
20:17.220 --> 20:18.260
Not yet.
20:17.860 --> 20:20.440
What did you see? Was Noah there?
20:18.260 --> 20:20.610
I'll go to the upper world.
20:19.050 --> 20:20.860
I merely want to know...
20:20.610 --> 20:22.210
I'll meet Noah.
20:21.130 --> 20:25.200
Why was I born? I want that answer.
20:22.210 --> 20:24.180
Noah... Noah...
20:22.210 --> 20:25.200
Purging unnecessary virtual hardware.
20:26.790 --> 20:31.300
Noah will...!
20:56.080 --> 20:57.640
I pity him.
20:57.640 --> 20:58.670
Sekai!
20:58.670 --> 21:01.840
Why did you want to go to the upper world?
21:02.390 --> 21:05.700
You weren't programmed for that.
21:05.700 --> 21:07.220
It was your own will.
21:07.970 --> 21:09.080
Right?
21:10.590 --> 21:13.180
I'll observe you.
21:13.590 --> 21:16.700
And prove you aren't a being without a soul.
21:20.060 --> 21:25.740
No one can destroy this feeling
21:25.740 --> 21:31.240
No one can destroy this feeling
21:31.240 --> 21:36.960
No one can destroy this feeling
21:36.960 --> 21:42.980
We are here.
21:45.970 --> 21:50.240
In a world that's left warmth behind
21:50.240 --> 21:56.850
I search for someone's warmth in the ruins
21:57.310 --> 22:06.570
Longing for the happiness
stolen by the threat of rain
22:06.570 --> 22:09.840
This is reality, yes
22:09.840 --> 22:13.410
Don't you want to see it?
22:13.410 --> 22:18.830
Don't you want to believe in idealism?
22:18.830 --> 22:25.540
Don't you want to believe that love is with us?
22:25.540 --> 22:29.090
We are fakes
22:29.090 --> 22:33.350
But our feelings are here
22:33.350 --> 22:36.100
We're searching for you
22:36.100 --> 22:41.150
If this is what gives love its name
22:41.150 --> 22:47.360
I want to cling to those words
I remember hearing
22:47.360 --> 22:52.410
There is love in this world...
22:52.410 --> 22:54.360
Isn't there?
23:24.900 --> 23:39.910
