Shin-Shin-Koiwa, Shin-Koiwa...
Go, Yuichi!
You got this!
Get 'em!
Show off your super shot!
Easy does it, Araki!
Send it my way!
It's mine!
Huh?!
Jeez, Haruto! Get back in position!
I got it!
Disgrace
Out!
Nuts. No good.
Too bad.
Let's switch!
You seem happy today, Araki.
Yeah. You're smiling more than usual.
He did lots of good at that festival the other day.
Araki was fearsome.
A pro Marimo rider!
Did a power of yours awaken or something?
Not sure about that.
Stella!
Stella, what's wrong?
Are you feeling ill?
No, I'm fine.
Sorry. I'll do better.
I decided I'm going to the outside too, after all.
Right.
We lost.
Police is too good lately.
You guys were rock bottom 'til recently.
Sorry about that.
We've picked up quite a bit of your turf.
Wait 'til we're in our element. We'll turn it all green.
Right, Araki?
Yeah!
We're gonna have to step it up.
Anyone want to awaken? Don't be shy.
I can't!
Let's hit the baths!
He's doing it again.
Seriously, what is that?
Are you okay?
What even is this?
What am I looking at?
That phone...
You never catch colds.
You sure you want to be on your own?
I'm fine.
Let me know if it gets worse.
Will do.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
Nope. No smartphone.
Not here, either.
Where else?
Just Araki's room.
I recognize this.
Araki had this when we were adopted here.
It's locked.
What should I do?
I might not be able to come back if I open it.
To where?
To who I am now.
There's a siren blaring in my head.
It's either telling me not to open it
or telling me I have to open it.
I'll be your accomplice.
Not that I wasn't already, I guess.
If you would.
Retinal authentication complete.
Unlocked.

Can I just make something for dinner using the leftover simmered stuff from yesterday?
I want khao man gai tonight
Can I just make something for dinner using the leftover simmered stuff from yesterday?
I want khao man gai tonight
Imma go cray cray if I don't get khao man gai
Guess I'll have to go shopping later.
Auntie?
Yeah.
She wants khao man gai.
She probably saw something on TV again.
I'm surprised you put up with that. You're a good kid.
I'm in charge of cooking, so...
And cleaning too, no?
You clean too, don't you?
Dude...
That one fight between Shousei and Auntie was fun to watch.
When Shousei quit school without telling her and started working.
Oh, yeah.
Her voice was booming throughout the neighborhood.
Like, "You dumb brat! Moron!"
And Shousei was doing it for his mom, too.
Though, I got a better sense of what Mom was thinking after that.
She got me back in school a year later, too.
It worked out.
I'm so jealous.
You get along with your family so well.
Look at me!
Mom's annoying, my oldest sister's annoying,
my second sister's annoying, my youngest sister's annoying.
Even Harumi's annoying!
Haruna
Haruko
Harumi
Haruhiko
Wake up!
Wake up, Haruto! Wake up!
What about your grandma?
Uncontested.
And you're so close with Stella, Araki. Is it 'cause you're the same age?
I think Stella's just matching my pace.
Really? I guess she's being the big brother.
You're living with your relatives, aren't you, Araki?
I'm glad you at least have Stella.
Yeah.
What were your parents like?
I don't remember.
Not their faces, or what they were like.
Any photos?
Nope.
Too bad.
Oh, Hirou's going up against Lamps in a bit.
Let's watch.
Liar.
Hey...
What is that?
Huh? What?
What do you mean?
You were doing something just now.
It's nothing.
Your Dust!
Why do you have so much?
Full
Do you actually have as much as the rest of us?
Listen, Araki.
We...
Stella, Kai, and I have been watching you do something every night.
Tell us.
What is it you're doing nightly that's so important
that you have to pretend you don't have much Dust?
I've been seeing weird things lately.
About when I was a kid.
Huh? Why?
I've been keeping up with it every night—
With what?!
Kai!
Stella says that the more she avoids that Ramus of yours,
the more her odd memories show up.
Is this related somehow?
Hey, what are you all talking ab—
They're talking about me, Shousei.
Something's not right lately.
I have memories about when I was a kid, living outside of Shin-Katsushika.
There's a man and woman I don't recognize next to me.
And Araki isn't there.
Araki, are you doing something to me with your Ramus?
What are you doing?
More and more memories come back to me every day.
And the more I see, the more I forget the memories of my childhood with you.
I can't remember anything!
Nothing about what happened before we were five.
It's all becoming something else.
I don't even have any way to know which memories are real.
But I found this.
The kanji for my name, Stella, are "star" and "light."
That's my real name.
I'd forgotten all this time that my last name was Ichigaya.
Also...
Your mom and dad, Araki.
I know these people, too.
No, I knew them.
I could remember them perfectly clearly until just recently.
But I have no memories of these people anymore.
All I have is my memories with these two.
Say something.
Something that'll help me trust you.
Say something!
Was I the one who took this picture?
Is that why I'm not in it?
Who are these people?
Why do I feel nostalgic? Why do I miss them?
Why didn't you know about me when you gave me this?
Do you like airplanes, too?
You can have this.
I've got two of them.
Wait! She's my sister!
I was changed that day.
Why?
Give me back!
Give me back who I really am!
Since when did Stella's memories...
Was it that day? When I fell asleep?
If only I'd kept it up that day, Stella's memories wouldn't have...
None of this would have...
If only I'd done it every day like I always have...
I have to fix it.
I don't even want to see his face.
Araki's been fooling me this whole time.
He's been making me think his mom and dad were real.
And just because they died,
I ended up being taken in by people I really don't know.
I can't believe he has those powers and kept them hidden all this time.
He can change people's memories.
That's pretty insane.
That's why he's always been low on Dust.
'Cause he's been doing that every night when everyone's asleep.
Seriously, though?
I'm so shocked.
I can't believe Araki would do that to Stella.
Never mind being siblings. It turns out I'm not even from this town.
Maybe Araki has his reasons.
What reasons?
You can't turn a stranger into your own sister. That's wrong, no matter what!
I don't want to forget Mom and Dad for any reason.
Why are you here?!
You've got some nerve showing up here.
What's wrong with you?!
We're completely messed up because of you!
Stella, I'm sorry!
Can we go back to how we were?
You destroyed Stella! What the hell are you talking about?!
Do you have any idea how bad what you've done is?!
I don't understand, either.
I don't know how this happened.
Th-Things were supposed to stay how they were.
I keep thinking, "How? Why?"
I just want things to go back to normal!
Araki...
Dude...
No way.
Never!
Get lost!
No entry beyond this point
Ramus barrier ahead
Caution!
Warning
No entry beyond this point Ramus barrier ahead
Araki?
What's up?
What's wrong? You look awful.
Warning
Barrier Ahead
Did they do something to you? Or say something?
Who hurt you like this?
I'll beat 'em up!
P'cawk!
Look! Look! Five leaves!
Kurusu...
Yeah?
Why do you always put up with me?
I always give you the cold shoulder.
Why don't you hate me yet?
Do you need a reason to want to become friends with someone?
Does there have to be a reason that you want to get close to someone?
You just happen to be that person for me.
That's all.
Oh, yeah. There's something I want us to try together.
C'mon!
Kurusu!
It'll be fine!
No, but...
It's really fine!
Hey!
Why? How is this happening?
I don't know.
But we can go to the outside when we're together.
I knew it!
You "knew"?
This is my first time, too.
What would you have done if it didn't work out?
I was certain.
You can't be serious.
Let's go back.
We're okay for now, but who knows...
But we're safe.
Probably.
"Probably"?!
What's going on here?
Dunno.
But you have one of these too, don't you?
Huh? I don't know.
You do for sure.
Inside your head.
And that gives you special Ramus.
I have one of those fragments?
I've always felt something resonate between us,
along with wanting to be closer friends with you.
I don't know how it works, but as long as we have these fragments,
we can go to the outside together.
A game.
What should we do?
We could probably ask to take the day off.
I want to play.
There's only five of us.
We're a team of five now.
We're up against DG.
Well, that's perfect.
We don't need to play nice with them.
Yeah.
Let's go mess 'em up.
All right, then.
Oh? Looks like you're missing one.
We're not.
Let's start, please.
O-Okay.
Well, then, today's game is—
Hold up on that game.
We have a new member.
I'll introduce him.
Come on out.
Wha?!
Araki's your new member?!
Why?
