Are you all right?
He's badly hurt.
Wait here! I'll go call someone.
Let go of me...
This person...
Is he having a sad dream?
Episode Four At the Place He Washed Ashore
Stay away from Hikaru, you guys!
Save me, big brother!
Hikaru!
Big brother!
Hikaru!
A dream...
This is...
Are you awake?
You're the one from back then.
Kai Kudou...
We confirmed your ID using the crid stick that was attached to your uniform.
So you're a member of Ashurum's psychic division, AESES?
If you try to use your psychic powers or anything, I'll shoot immediately.
Don't worry. He's lost quite a bit of blood.
In his state, his psi-rating won't rise to the point where he can activate his psychic powers.
What's a psi-rating?
It's what you would call the criteria for whether someone's psychic power is great or small.
You treated me, right?
Because we have a ton of things we want to ask you.
For what purpose did you destroy the city and get so many people involved?!
We didn't!
We were only dispatched here to take unregistered psychics into custody,
and to bring the guerilla's base under control!
Not in order to kill.
Don't mess with me!
Civilians, who were just poor, not criminals or anything,
disappeared along with a piece of Gald's harbour!
That was...
It didn't sink or explode or anything.
It literally disappeared! It evaporated!
No traces of contamination can be found in the surroundings of the area that was vaporized,
so it couldn't have been a missile.
E's certainly are useful weapons.
E's?
Some people call psychics that.
I'm...
What's wrong? Are you starting to feel guilty like a normal person?
I am...
My power kills people...
I don't have the right to call myself a human!
Yuuki!
Something terrible has happened to the soup pot!
The heat is supposed to...
Dummy! I told you not to come here, didn't I?!
Yuuki, why are you holding a gun?!
Well, you...
That's horrible! Don't aim such a dangerous thing at people!
Hey!
Has your fever gone down?
It looks like it hasn't yet.
What...
You're not scared anymore?
Scared?
Asuka.
I'm Asuka. Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you.
Ruri's death has been confirmed,
but according to your report, the point that is of greater interest is Shin-Lu...
Shin-Lu?! How is she?! Eiji?!
She's all right.
So she's all right?
The medical centre contacted us and said that they were moving her to the general ward,
because she has no external wounds.
So that's how it is...
So, the reason that Shin-Lu fell into a condition like that
was because she was hit by a telepathic attack?
Back then...
The sensations Shin-Lu was feeling were conveyed to me.
It was an attack that she had never experienced before, even I felt it.
So it was just like someone had taken a hold of your brain and suppressed it?
It was more than just a headache.
If it hadn't been, then Shin-Lu wouldn't have suffered such a fate!
I see. You rest for a while too.
I don't need a break!
Or are you just going to leave Shin-Lu here and go on missions?
No...
In that case, good work, Shen-Lon.
Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony, "Pathétique"...
He has interesting taste.
Hikaru...
Hikaru?
Big brother Eiji!
Heya.
What's that?
I decided to go with a fruit pie.
I'm so happy!
You seem to be doing well. Has anything strange happened?
Anything strange?
Like feeling pain, or getting a fever all of the sudden.
No...
I see. By the way, about Kai...
What's going on with my big brother?
He has a mission in another city,
so it looks like he won't be able to come here for a while.
I see...
It can't be helped, right?
Big brother has his work, after all.
I will come see you as much as I can, in Kai's place.
Okay. Thanks, big brother Eiji.
Shen-Lon, Shen-Lon, it's time to eat!
Today we're having meatballs!
Mom said it's all right for us to go down after the store closes!
Let's go outside for a bit and play!
It'll be all right if we just do it for a little bit.
Shin-Lu!
A telepath? You're saying that a telepath exists?!
It appears that during their mission the other day,
Shin-Lu Belvedere received a telepathic attack from a guerilla psychic.
So that's what you meant when you said that Seven Eight was unconscious.
The thing of great interest is that at that time, Shen-Lon Belvedere felt that indirectly.
In other words, a telepathic link had been produced between the two of them.
What do you think, Professor Chigaya?
You have a mission. I want you to infiltrate the guerillas in Gald.
They're certain to be on the lookout.
We have made some preparations.
There's a psychic among the guerillas that uses telepathy.
I want you to find out who he is.
And if that telepath is powerful enough to discover who I really am?
It doesn't matter if they're alive or dead.
Oh, and even if you spot Double One Eight in Gald, leave him be.
Kai Kudou has been reported as being dead, right?
If nothing's happened to Gretel,
then nothing's happened to Hansel either.
Your jokes are hard to understand.
Pray that Double One Eight and I don't meet.
Yuuki... Yuuki!
Asuka?
Kai is... Kai is...
What's wrong?
He's finally eating! He said it's delicious!
Your cooking really IS delicious, isn't it, Yuuki?
I see... Well, thanks for that.
So why'd you come here?
It wasn't just to tell me that, right?
Yeah. Lend him some of your clothes, Yuuki.
Go ahead.
Thank you, Yuuki.
Hey, Asuka.
Don't get concerned about him the way you always do.
Why not?
Because he's different from the dogs and cats you always pick up.
A person...
He's a person, after all, and he's got a place to go back to.
That's true.
Kai would want to go home soon, wouldn't he?
If you understand, that's fine, but...
I'll take his change of clothes to him.
You're not to be going to where he is at night...
And you're not even here!
Your bodies normally heal damage and recover stamina using a self-regenerating power.
But when your psi-rating and your stamina are both low,
if you try to force your powers to work, your stamina,
in other words, a power will begin to work that will change your life force into psi-rating.
It will begin to reduce your life.
So in other words, even if you still have hit points left,
if you run out of magic power, you'll be in a pinch?
You've been playing games too much, dummy.
But it matches up, right?
It just means that guys without any power are going to die first.
Right, Kai?
During a mission, when you feel a considerable decline in your stamina,
you must return quickly and get medical treatment from us.
I have to go back to Ashurum!
Where are you going?
Well, I've gotten quite a bit better, so...
A walk.
What am I saying?
You're feeling better?
I see! Thank goodness!
It's got to be because you ate properly, right?
Can I go with you too?
Sure...
The stars...
Yeah, aren't they pretty?
Incredible. This is the first time I've seen them.
The stars?
Where I live, you can't see the stars.
At night, the lights from the buildings are so bright.
I saw a sky like this long ago. A long, long time ago...
Kai?
When you want to see the stars, come here again, okay?
Okay.
Let's go back for today.
Doctor Asakura is supposed to be examining you again tomorrow, after all.
You're lying!
It's not a lie. The psychics in Ashurum's custody are,
for the purpose of strengthening their psychic powers and managing their consciousnesses,
brainwashed.
Brainwashing?
That's just not possible!
I really haven't been brainwashed or anything!
It's up to you if you don't believe it.
At this rate, the effects are certain to manifest themselves.
Effects? How so?
In your current state, where you can't undergo Ashurum's treatments,
eventually your stamina...
No, you might recall it being called life force...
Even if your life force recovers,
your psi-rating probably won't even reach half of what it was originally.
That can't be...
I understand that you might not want to admit it.
If that happens, then you're no longer of any use to Ashurum as a weapon.
That's a lie!
Kai!
Seriously...
Didn't you learn that this is what would happen
if you used your powers when your stamina was low?
Rest is the most important thing now.
Hey, don't go recklessly provoking him in my house, would you?
So, Doctor, in concrete terms, what kind of brainwashing?
Who knows? There are any number of methods.
The only way to answer that is to say that there was that kind of disturbance in his brain waves.
Any number of ways? Leave it to you to know that.
Yuuki...
You're not scared of psychics?
Who knows?
It's just that he saved me back then.
That's all.
I see.
All right, then, I've got work, so I'm leaving the rest to you.
Okay...
Zero?
Right, zero. Sorry, Yuuki.
There is absolutely no information on the Sacrament of Calvaria.
Can't be helped.
In that case, I have no choice but to get help from a real fortune-teller.
Are you trying to start a fight?
Well, I've gotten some basic information about the Calvaria.
And?
They still haven't come here, And?
They still haven't come here,
but recently there's been someone other than you searching about the Calvaria matter.
And it's a woman.
A woman?
What do you mean, I can't see my grandfather?
We don't understand either!
We were contacted and told that Mr. Erimiya and the leaders were going to hide in the basement
and haven't heard anything since.
That can't be...
I'm sorry to interrupt while you're busy, but...
You seem dangerous.
And to think I came here because Ashurum destroyed my home in yesterday's incident too.
Who are you? And how did you get here?
It's easy for a psychic, right?
And?
I want to join you.
We only let people we can trust join us.
What if I said that I've discovered an Ashurum spy that's been searching for you?
Are you serious?
If you come with me, you'll understand.
If you'll trust me, that is.
Kai... Kai...
You won't get better if you stay here, right?
In that case, I'll take you out of Gald.
Is it hard to walk?
No...
Isn't it tough for you, Asuka?
I'm all right.
Shall we rest for a bit?
Aren't you scared of psychics, Asuka?
This morning, you saw my power break the glass in the greenhouse and the potted plants, right?
Yeah, it surprised me, but nobody was hurt, right?
That meant you weren't trying to hurt anyone.
Yeah.
Yuuki was planning on letting you go back, Kai.
And Doctor Asakura really is a good person too.
Brother and sister... You get along, don't you?
We're family, but we're not brother and sister.
Yuuki has a lot of family.
What do you mean?
There are a lot of children in Gald who don't have a father,
or are by themselves,
so Yuuki looks after them.
I was Yuuki's first family member.
It would be better for Gald to be rebuilt by Ashurum
and made into a place where people could actually live.
If they did...
Why?
What's wrong with the way it is now?
There's no way the way it is now is any good.
Why? Why do you think that, Kai?
Why, you ask? Well...
Why, you!
Oh, my...
Kai... That was you just now, wasn't it?
Kai?
Asuka?
What, Kai?
Does Yuuki only watch over the children of Gald?
In other words, you mean you're not going back.
I want to think about Ashurum's organization from the outside for a bit.
So would it be all right for me to stay for a while?
Sure, I guess.
Really?
Use the open room however you like.
Kai! If there's anything you need, tell me, okay?
Okay.
Hey, Yuuki...
Yeah?
Thanks.
Ruri Hisaishi, who was our friend, unfortunately lost her life during a mission.
You mustn't, Tsubaki!
But... But Ruri's...
Let us show respect for her courage.
Furthermore, Kai Kudou's death has not been confirmed,
and is being treated as missing in action.
I would like for you to all pray for his safety.
Furiisogu ame ni mou nurehajimeta futari
Isoide nukedashita nanimokamo wo sutete
Minna kara mienai you ni yubi wo tsunaide
Sore ga futari no himitsu no sain
Dakara koko kara saratte imasugu saratte
Tonight midnight
Dakara mou tomenaide imasugu sawatte
Tonight, it's true love
Modorenai yoru ga hajimaru
The sad beasts that live in imaginary cages, E's.
But you were able to escape from that and fly into an endless world,
into a limitless future.
Move forward.
There is something that can be seen ahead, and that is...
