They see through the darkness with their shining eyes
Such dreadful children
Ever since the moment they were born
love has been a lethal weapon
Grasping my blood soaked chest
I buried it in my wounds
In the world that arises from decay
there is a cheerful despair
Whether we spare their lives or kill them, it's our karma
They laugh like a dog, they squeal like a pig
Now what are we going to do after their continued screams?
They're protected, fondled, and broken
I'm a mere shell of myself though still alive
My heart is cracked and sparkling
I put my finger on its trigger
They're protected, fondled, and they break things
I pretend that I understand it all
And everything I shoot is an unworthy illusion
I will... do it.
I'll take care of the matter with Cal.
Are you just gonna let her kill you?
No, that's not it. You need to make arrangements for our escape.
We're pressed for time. I don't want you to waste time due to the matter with Cal.
So I'll take care of it.
I asked you this once before.
But can you shoot her?
Th... That's...
Please...
Give me... some time.
Okay.
But make the decision today.
If you can't decide...
I'll shoot Drei.
And... rescue Mio too.
I can't let Eren shoot Cal. I'll settle it... I'll...
Reiji...
Reiji... I want to be with you.
Reiji?
What is it all of a sudden?
Would you like to have lunch with us?
Since Mio's got you under lock and key,
you rarely get a chance to eat with us, you know.
It'll be lonely at lunch today since both Mio and Eren are absent.
Eren is?
She came to school with me this morning.
She went home early.
She said she hadn't been feeling well since this morning. You didn't notice?
Ah, hey! Tell us how far you've gone with Mio!
Eren!
The phone you dialed is either out of the coverage area or is turned off.
There you are!
Stop running and tell me! How far have you gone with Mio?!
Hold on. Right now, I'm...
Why are you so rattled? Are you worried about Eren that much?
You're too obsessed with your sist...
Both of you! The fifth period is starting.
Geez! Let's go back!
Hey!
Cell phones should be off during class. That's common sense.
Now, go back, go back.
This is the answering service center. You have one new message.
By the time you hear this message, you might be upset.
But I think this is the best way.
You shouldn't fight Cal.
It was me who dragged Mio into this.
I'll rescue her even if it costs me my life.
So... you go on ahead and run.
I'll catch up with you after I rescue Mio.
If...
If I don't show up by the agreed upon time,
please assume... that I'm dead.
Received at 2:15 pm today.
Don't!
Don't, Eren!
I don't want to lose anyone any more.
I don't want anyone to be hurt!
Anyone...!
That's Ein... our prototype...
Contact Master.
You're quite tenacious.
I thought you'd scream and struggle more.
I'm not an animal.
You were completely deceived by that man,
and that's why you're in this situation right now.
I figured you'd be more bitter about it.
Are you bitter?
Towards Reiji...
You sure sound demeaning.
I just can't believe... that you could detest someone that much.
You aren't the only one who experienced sadness.
He too must've experienced...
What do you know?
I do. How would I not know?
If you had serious feelings for him...
You're such a liar!
Yeah, that's right. Both Reiji and you are liars.
Is everyone in this country like that?
Have you ever gone numb from the cold?
Have you been beaten without being able to fight back?
How about living three full days without food?
Who do you think you are?
Do you seriously think that there's nothing in this world that will hurt you?
Are you saying that it's only natural that you, only you, are treated like
some kind of treasure by everyone?
What do you know when you live comfortably in such an idiotic country?
There's no way you can understand...
other people's pain.
No... Don't!
I had only one nice dress.
And even that got burned to ashes.
Just what kind of food have you grown up on to have such smooth skin?
Eh, princess?!
I'll teach you...
what true despair is like.
You can't resist.
You're at someone's mercy. You can't do anything. You're powerless.
I'll carve that feeling into your body...
a deep scar that will remain in your heart... for the rest of your life.
I've been waiting for you here all this time...
since you promised me that you'd be back for sure.
I've been waiting... all this time.
All this time...
Reiji...
Is it Shiga?
I'm sorry to bother you late at night.
Sounds like it's bad news.
It's about Miss Mio Fujieda.
Because of my carelessness, she was dragged into trouble.
The matter requires prompt action as we speak.
I do know that I should accept responsibility.
However, rescuing Miss Mio is the first priority.
I'd like to involve the Godo Family's retainers to deal with this matter.
Is the main cause of this problem those Americans?
Is Mio... still alive?
Yes, certainly.
Then no need to get involved, Shiga.
Don't involve the Godo Family.
Leave everything to those foreigners.
B-But...
If the Family gets involved, the entire country will know about this matter.
Why on earth the Godo Family is so worked up over a girl...
I have a feeling that everyone will want to know.
You can keep your fingers, too. There's no reason to take responsibility.
But then...
There's no need, Shiga.
There's no connection between the Godos and the Fujiedas.
There can't be...
now... nor in the past.
Got that? Don't do anything no matter what while Mio is okay.
As long as their purpose isn't money or blackmailing, there's nothing we can do.
I do appreciate your concern, Shiga.
But yakuza are good for nothings after all...
especially when it comes to protecting something.
Destroying and killing are all knives and guns do.
They're no use for protecting something.
Understood.
I'll keep that in mind.
All this time, I have been playing the role of myself in the play that I created.
That play... That stage is changing its color
and is finally about to enter the finale.
Creating the ultimate soldiers...
Ein was the experiment.
Zwei and Drei were the test subjects.
The results of that work led to the creation of actors suitable for the finale.
Zahlen Schwestern...
They have neither fear nor compassion.
They're automata that only dole out death like loyal hunting dogs...
Both the Godo Family and Inferno are only the scenery for the stage.
When Ein and Zwei are hunted down by Drei
and bare their fangs like a cornered rat,
a dreamlike competition among the artworks I created will begin.
I'll have you, Zahlen Schwestern, participate in that competition.
I shall wait for a while...
until the time the finale's bell rings out.
"Eren"
"Mio"
Is this Ein?
Drei? Tell me what you want.
Name a place where no one can interfere with us.
I'll put an end to all this.
Yeah, that's right.
Without him... Just you and me.
That's my cell.
Could she be talking with Reiji?
Okay. That place will do. 3 am, you said?
Do you know the ruins near Shinokura Academy?
The one that used to be the girls' dorm?
Yeah, that's the one. Mio is in there.
Bring something for her to wear.
Looks like you came to.
Just let it go.
What?
I'm not a woman who's worth your hatred.
Even if you don't detest me,
there're already tons of people, besides you, who detest and won't forgive me.
I probably won't live long.
When the time comes, I'll go to hell without fail.
Goodbye.
Mio?
Where have you been? I was worrie...
I'm Mio's classmate.
She was absent from school today, so I brought a handout.
She was absent from school?
This is for her.
Okay.
Well then, goodbye. I hope she'll feel better soon.
Uhm... are you...
No, nothing. Sorry.
Goodbye.
Could it be...
E... Eren.
I'm Ein.
What?
I no longer have to lie to you.
So you can call me Ein.
Lie to me?
Does that mean...
I brought clothes for you to change.
How come... Who on earth...
Drei did.
Drei...
Do you mean... Cal?
She's also called that, I guess.
Who on earth are you all?
You heard from Drei, didn't you?
Is... Is it really... true?
Both you... and Reiji...
Yes.
We're assassins.
No... That can't be...
I'm sorry, but would you go home by yourself?
You can call the police using this if you want.
Well then...
Cal left.
She said she'd put an end to all this.
She's probably planning to kill Reiji.
I know.
You know? Then the one she was on the phone with earlier was...
Are you going to fight her?
There's... There's nothing I can do?!
I love Reiji!
For him, I can do anything.
That still isn't enough? I can't be with him?!
Your feelings may be the real thing.
But those feelings aren't enough to take down Drei.
Unless I kill Drei, she'll kill Reiji.
It's my job to prevent it, not yours.
If you want to be of help to Reiji no matter what,
then stay here for a bit longer.
If you do, it'll increase the likelihood of Reiji surviving.
D... Did Reiji... want to...
No, that's not true.
I'm the one who dragged you into this.
Reiji isn't someone who can cry or laugh as an act.
If you've seen his smile or tears before,
they were surely real.
Ever since you gave me the name Eren,
I have existed in order to protect you.
I want you to stay alive. I want you to live on.
If you live on...
that's the proof... that I lived.
We are ghosts that have no place to exist...
non-existent phantoms.
It's not that I've lost my heart
It's just that I've become almost afraid to remember
That feeling of warmth fading from my memory
It's an illusion that slipped through my grasp
Even though it feels as if I'm about to be crushed
I want to see a new tomorrow one more time
transparent, transparent, transparent, transparent
I'm becoming transparent
Can't I at least...
have happiness in my dreams, even though it will never become reality?
