At last, only two more days remain until the launch of the Special Anniversary Event.
In advance of the event,
I will now show all of you my new happiness.
Come...
His name is Sei.
He is as my son.
Without him, I wouldn't be where I am.
That's how important he is to me.
He gives me hope.
He is a bringer of happiness.
I hope that all of you will give him your blessing.
Mink...
How long are you going to lie there?
Are you planning to die?
I've sensed it from the start.
You have the same scent as me.
The scent of death.
Mink...
Don't die.
Live.
You are alive.
You stay behind.
Why?!
I changed my mind. This is as far as you go.
No! I'm going, too!
Because you're...
Have it your way.
Ren, what's wrong?
There's something around your eye.
Ren, look over here.
Let me see your eye.
This is no time to be concerned with such trivial things.
What are you talking about?
I've told you over and over.
If you broke down, I'd be in trouble.
I'll do my best not to hold you back, Aoba.
That's not what I meant.
If I'm unable to function as an Allmate,
I'm nothing but garbage.
I'll do my best not to—
Hey, what the hell?
What are you saying?
If I am rendered nonfunctional here,
I'll be a burden to you.
That's not what I meant.
I'm saying that I'm worried about you.
It's fine.
I don't want to trouble you over this.
Now, look...
What are you doing?
N-Nothing...
This is Toue's...
I'm sure he's planning to use it at the Special Anniversary Event.
You said you wanted to stop the event,
didn't you?
We're going to destroy the event and all of the experiments.
I'm going to kill Toue.
That's why I've come this far.
To get to the top floor, use the stairs up ahead...
There they are!
Get them!
Go!
Don't kill the one in blue!
Damn it!
Where'd he go?
Ow...
Aoba...
We finally meet.
I've wanted to meet you for so long...
Who are you?
How do you know me?
Is this... all your doing?
I see...
So you're the one who set this trap for me.
Koujaku, Noiz, and Clear were attacked
because of you, too.
That's not true.
Then why...
Because I wanted you to come to me.
I want you to break me with your power.
You're the only one who can do that.
What are you talking about?
My power has...
I have... reached my limit.
So... hurry.
Please, Aoba...
Hey!
What the hell was that about?
Awake now, Aoba-san?
Good morning, Aoba.
Why... are you...
You must be wondering why we're here.
That's what your expression says.
I shall tell you.
It's very simple, actually.
It's because we're Morphine.
Morphine?
You're kidding...
Sorry. We're not kidding.
But we're not like these guys, who do all the work.
We're more like the leaders.
You tricked me?
It's true that we're your fans, though.
Ah, that face... I love it.
It reminds me of when you fought in Rhyme way back.
Right.
We didn't know about your power at first, either.
But when you used Scrap against your opponent in Rhyme,
we realized...
that you were truly a special person.
I... destroyed someone...?
Yeah, I guess you forgot about that, too.
It did appear that you had no knowledge of your own power.
It would be quite troublesome if anyone else found out about that power.
That's why we made you forget
that you destroyed someone in Rhyme.
Instead of an accident in Rhyme,
we made it into a little accident that happened at the end of a fight.
Using the powers of the Toue Konzern,
we had your memories altered.
We wanted to keep you our little secret,
even from Toue.
Thankfully, your grandmother was also trying to hide your power,
so it worked out for us, as well.
But Aoba-san, you were randomly attacked in Rhyme, weren't you?
That's when Toue found you.
If at all possible, we didn't want to hand you over.
Now, if you'll come with us...
You'll be able to see Sei-san, too.
Sei?
Oh, you didn't know?
He's your twin brother, Aoba.
All the preparations are complete. Awaiting orders.
Sei?
Oh, you didn't know?
He's your twin brother, Aoba.
You didn't know about your older twin brother, Sei-san?
You and Sei-san were born in one of Toue Konzern's labs.
You're designer babies created
by manipulating DNA to give you special powers.
The one behind the theory that made this possible was your grandmother.
It was Tae-san's research.
Though your grandmother didn't think her research
would be used to make designer babies.
It was intended from the start
that you twins would have the power to control people's hearts.
You two were able to develop special powers,
but perhaps as the price of your power, or a side effect,
both of you have nerves running through your hair,
and you were born connected by it.
And what's more,
when you were born, you weren't breathing.
Basically, you were born dead.
Your grandmother was deeply saddened.
To keep you from being used in any more experiments, at least,
she took your dead body and quit the lab to run away.
But you came back to life.
On the other hand,
Sei-san grew up with Toue, and was used in experiments
that tried to understand his will and powers.
Like your voice's power,
Sei-san's eyes project visual signals absent in ordinary humans,
by which he can control others.
His eyes have that power...?
Platinum Jail has welcomed its tenth anniversary.
As a special event to celebrate,
we have prepared a special ceremony.
Please enjoy a glimpse of that today.
But Sei-san has reached his limit.
Toue tried to bring back your grandmother
so she could take a look at him.
But through his experiments,
Toue was able to artificially reproduce the power of Sei-san's eyes with a special light.
So that he'd be fine even if Sei-san was gone.
Today's Special Anniversary Event
may be the last time Sei-san uses his power.
The last...?
I told you. Sei-san is already at his limit.
My power has reached its limit.
Then what he said earlier...
But it appears everything will be fine, even if we lose Sei-san.
Because now we have you, Aoba-san.
You can't be serious!
Do you know what Toue's trying to do?
But of course.
We totally know.
Then why are you working with Toue?
Us?
Well, if we had to give a reason...
We like interesting things.
And amazing things, and anything easy.
Yep.
To be honest, we have no interest in Toue's intentions.
We're here because Sei-san is amazing,
and because if we stay by Toue, our lives are easy.
That's it.
Yep.
You guys aren't acting normal.
Maybe you're being controlled and don't realize it...
Oh, we've altered our ears and eyes,
so the brainwashing won't work.
So, Aoba-san,
if you try to use your voice on us, it won't work.
Now, what shall we do?
Want to play a little?
Aoba-san.
Why don't you play with us for a while?
'Kay?
Aoba!
So they're Morphine...
What a pain.
I heard your voice, so here I am,
Aoba-san!
You guys...
Aww...
It seems we've been interrupted.
You won't get away!
Koujaku!
You left on your own because you didn't want to get us involved, right?
Where's Ren?
Ren!
Ren?
He's been infected by a worm.
Hey, we're going.
Mink!
Because I wanted you to come to me...
Aoba!
I'm sorry, everyone.
There's somewhere I have to go.
You made this decision yourself, right?
Yeah.
Over here!
The lock's not responding.
Pry it open!
This isn't going to hold for long.
But you guys should...
Aoba...
You better come back.
Go settle things.
Aoba-san, please leave this to us.
I guess it can't be helped.
Guys...
Go!
What are you thinking? They have guns.
Come on, bring it!
You can't stop me that way!
I won't let you get in Aoba's way!
They just keep coming...
Hey.
They're using a Doggie!
Destroy it!
Mink!
Up here.
I've been waiting for you, Aoba-kun.
And you are...?
I'm kidding.
Of course I remember you.
I only wanted to research your people's secret art.
If your people had cooperated,
that tragedy would never have happened.
You're going to die.
Now, wait a moment.
You wish to kill me and then die yourself, correct?
But you can't do that.
You won't be able to do that.
Mink.
It's too bad.
I have the same power as Aoba-kun.
Though in my case, I acquired it artificially.
Mink!
Mink! Hey!
I've won this game.
Hey... Hey!
Mink! Mink!
Well? Right now, you can't even die.
You can't kill me, either. You're alive, yet dead.
Hey!
I'm sure this is frustrating,
but just think of it as your fate.
Mink! Mink!
It's just as I thought...
Mink?
What's the meaning of this? It didn't work?
It worked.
Your words were implanted in me.
Everything went dark,
and I felt the despair of helplessness grow within me.
But someone else planted his words in me before you did.
You mean Aoba-kun.
Though he probably doesn't realize he did it.
His words overpowered your seed.
Without a doubt, his true power wins.
I see.
I'll tell you what the seed he planted in me was.
To survive.
Mink...
Don't die.
Live.
His words rang out far more powerfully than yours.
He's not like you.
His words and his power
are real.
Mink...
I win this match.
Stop, Mink!
Until the game is finished, we cannot know who will win.
That's exactly what a "match" means.
This time, you're going back.
But...
Just go!
Sorry. I involved you in this until the end...
Mink...
Mink!
Ren?!
Ow!
S-Something is...
flowing into me...
R-Ren...?
These are my memories?
At this rate, I can only disappear.
I was always with you, Aoba.
Do you think I'm okay with you talking
You're me, aren't you?
I need you.
about disappearing all of a sudden?
He is not an enemy.
Ren, Jubilation set!
There's no more time.
Now, Aoba. Destroy me.
