He loves and yet hates his mom.
He doesn't care about Kaito's promise,
yet he's happy he kept it.
If Kaito, how he is now, fought Freecell in earnest...
Kaito would go to that closed-off world too.
Kaito...
Let's go, Freecell.
Puzzle time...
Let's begin!
Let's play up.
Lost
Tesaguri de sagashiteta I've searched, groping
Tozasareta mirai no kotae nante doko nimo nai The answer to a future that's been closed off
Tozasareta mirai no kotae nante doko nimo nai Is nowhere to be found
Hashiru shoudou, ima kaidoku funou The impulse to run, it's impossible to decipher now
Found
Kudaketa hazu no unmei o A fate that was supposedly smashed
Mijuku na yume no naka de kikoeta kitanda I've come to hear it within that half-formed dream:
Saigo made I'll be there for you Until the end, I'll be there for you
Tachidomaranai, kono hari dake wa It won't stop, not this needle
Boku no asu o kizamu oto o tsukisasu It will pierce the sound that engraves my tomorrow
Shinjitsu kara nigetara ima If I run from the truth, then now...
Genjitsu ni mo maketara ima If I lose to reality, then now...
Nani ga nokoru no? What will remain?
(Nokoru no?) (Will remain?)
Kazoekirenai kono kizu dake ga These countless wounds of mine
Boku no kinou o zanzou to shite kataru They tell of my yesterday as an afterimage
Unmei ga hodoketemo ima Even if fate were unraveled, now...
Sonzai o kowashitemo ima Even if my existence were smashed, now...
Boku no michi o yuku yo I will travel my path
It's now or never
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
There will always be, there will always be a way
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
There will always be, there will always be a way
That is what they say
Live your life today, yeah, yeah
Release the Infinite Puzzle!
What are they doing?
A game of tag, an extremely difficult one.
The field they're in comprises
the front and back of a single puzzle.
Neither player can see the other.
When one of them moves,
a color lights up, showing their direction.
North-south is red, east-west is blue.
They use that to gauge each other's movements,
Freecell running and Kaito chasing.
If he can stand in the same block as Freecell...
Kaito wins.
It's blue now, so...
Freecell has moved east-west.
He's in one of these four points.
What's goin' on here?
Gammon?
I don't sense evil or bloodlust.
That is Freecell's final puzzle?
It's as if...
he's able to see Kaito.
Come to mention it...
For a while now, he's moved as if he's beckoning Kaito.
What's the matter, Kaito?
This feeling...
Freecell's thought rate is increasing!
I can see it....
The future you.
I will fulfill my promise.
Kaito's thought rate has started to increase too!
Huh?
What's more, this pattern...
it's synchronizing with Freecell's!
For real?!
It can't be!
Kaito...
I see it.
It's no good, if he keeps going...
Kaito!
So, you've finally come, Kaito.
Kaito...
Freecell...
This movement!
Yeah,
Kaito seems to be able to see Freecell too.
Friggin' Kaito...
He ain't hesitatin' at all.
Kaito will disappear.
Both of them will go to that closed-off world.
He's goin' there?
Kaito too?!
If things stay like this, both their brains will...
Kaito saved me when I was almost
swallowed up by the Ring.
But both of them...
Kaito!
Come back, dammit!
Kaito!
Kaito...
Erena!
How's Kaito?
Freecell!
Kaito! It can't be!
Master Rook...
Freecell!
Their minds are no longer here.
What was that?
Just look!
Those guys...
they've just been running around in circles!
Time has stopped for him.
He's in his closed-off world, alone with Kaito.
There's no end.
An eternal puzzle, continuing forever, huh?
It's fun!
It's fun, isn't it?
Kaito!
This is a fun puzzle, huh?
That's right.
I made this so we could play together.
I...
I've always looked up to you, Kaito.
Looked up to me?
I've always been alone.
You too, Kaito.
As long as I have puzzles, I'm fine!
Yeah, you're good at puzzles.
You've always been strong, radiant.
That's why I wanted to become like you...
To be like you and do puzzles together.
Sure, let's do puzzles together!
Wait up!
Master Rook, can't we do something?
Oh no, they're both at their limit!
It can't be!
Kaito...
Kaito is acting strangely.
Quit screwin' around, Kaito!
I'm the one who's supposed to beat ya!
You plan on just runnin' away?!
Ain't no way I'm lettin' ya do that!
Gammon...
Kaito!
Kaito...
The way Kaito is now, our voices can't reach him.
Dammit, Kaito!
Stop playing around already!
You puzzle-loving fool!
What is it?
I'm sorry.
The truth is...
I was lonely.
I lost my mom and dad, was all alone...
Kaito!
I felt that way when Rook left too.
I was lonely and didn't know what to do.
I hurt you too.
I'm sorry.
No!
Kaito!
Stop it.
Kaito!
You're strong and-
I'm not strong!
Someone was always at my side.
Everyone else helped me.
No, that's wrong!
The Kaito I looked up to-
That's why I can't be here.
So...
So, I...
I will solve your puzzle!
Kaito...
There ain't no puzzle I can't solve!
Kaito! Kaito!
I can't see him.
Kaito! Kaito!
Kaito has gotten away from Freecell.
Freecell has started chasing him!
What does that mean?
Wait, don't go!
Kaito!
Fr..Freecell...
Wait!
Kaito! Kaito!
Kaito's approaching Freecell again.
Kaito, you came back.
Kaito!
Let's start again.
Both of us, doing puzzle time!
Freecell wants to start runnin' in circles again.
Kaito will be fine,
so long as he knows what his opponent is after.
They've approached the edge of the field!
No, puzzle time will end!
It will end!
Wait, Kaito!
Don't end the puzzle!
I don't want it to end!
You got it wrong, Freecell.
No!
Kaito!
Puzzles are fun because they end.
Gotcha, Freecell.
Kaito!
He won!
Thank goodness!
Bastard, makin' us sweat like that.
You've done it, Einstein.
That's Kaito, all right!
Master Rook...
Kaito...
Freecell, what's wrong?
Wake up!
Freecell! Freecell!
Calm yourself, Pinochle.
What's going on?
He lost the puzzle, yet the Ring remains on him.
His mind...
hasn't returned either.
But I want to apologize!
Apologize and, this time, be a true friend!
I'm grateful to you all,
but we can't go causing you any more bother.
We'll take care of Freecell.
What do you plan to do?
I don't know.
But no matter what it takes...
I still ain't fulfilled my promise to Freecell, is that it?
Dammit, what the hell should I do?
Kaito...
Mama?
No.
You wanted to solve that, right?
Sorry to keep you waitin'.
Okay, let's begin puzzle time!
See? Try moving that there.
Time has stopped for Freecell.
If he solves that puzzle,
Nice!
he'll probably have to admit that
That's it.
his mother his gone.
Once Kaito keeps his promise, he'll disappear too.
That's probably what Freecell thinks.
Once you solve a puzzle, you just need to start on next one.
You've already made that awesome puzzle, right?
You ain't alone anymore.
Your time started movin' long ago,
Freecell.
I solved it, Kaito...
Nonoha...
I solved it, Mama.
Freecell and them have gone back to Crossfield Academy.
Yup, apparently, they're doing well.
That's the end of that, huh?
I don't think so.
Those Rings have been distributed throughout the world.
So, there are tons of guys with Rings still on, huh?
Precisely.
Currently, I'm working with the POG to
come up with a plan to address this.
I look forward to it, Cubik.
Leave it to me!
I see.
Still, I'm glad no one got hurt.
And Kaito fulfilled his promise too.
Yeah.
Kaito, what about your promise to me?
You won't go off doing something dangerous alone, right?
Yeah, I got it.
Really?
It's from Master Rook.
Oh, there it is!
Huh? Hey!
Kaito!
He did it!
Huh?
What is it, Kaito?
An invitation from Rook to solve a Puzzle of Fools!
From: Rook You are invited to solve a Puzzle of Fools. See the attached file for details.
Huh?!
Come to think of it, since the Orpheus Order showed up...
Our efforts at solving the world's Puzzles of Fools
were suspended, huh?
Kaito!
You only just promised not to do
anything dangerous alone, didn't you?!
Fine, then you come with me.
If we're together, there's no complaints, right?
T..T..Together?!
In that case, I'll be comin' too.
I, Ana, too!
Wherever Kaito is, I'll be there.
Well, as a member of the POG,
I can't let you out of my sight, can I?
As your guardian, I can't let you go off alone either.
Heh, "guardian," huh?
Yes, it's only natural, isn't it?
In that case...
Shall we go, everyone?!
Puzzle time...
Let's begin!
Hey, that's my line!
Hey!

This year-long battle has finally finished, huh?
Still, it's sad to have to say goodbye to everyone, right?
Yeah...
But that ain't true at all!
Apparently, we'll be seein' everyone again in 2013!
Really?
Yeah!
Till then, keep doin' puzzles and wait for us to be back!
See ya!
Everyone, see you again!
