I saw her.
I saw her cry.
The research facility where the victims from the village were brought to,
otherwise known as the Factory.
You said you were going to atone for your sins,
but what exactly are you planning to do there?
I'm going to find evidence that the CIA was in league with Snake
and make sure everyone that was involved in this is indicted.
I'm with you on that,
but do you really think you can pull this off?
Once Operation Flower Garden goes public,
the government will no longer be able to keep the existence of the victims under wraps.
We should be able to get the medicine this way too.
That's great news, Yun Yun!
This is "life" we're talking about! Life!
Y-You're right.
Canaan!
Are you better now?
Maria...
I have a message for you:
your real name is "despair."
Despair?
Canaan's not someone who'd make you think of despair at all!
And she finally managed to gain a little healthy weight after eating so well too.
That's not helping.
I think you could gain a bit more in your chest, though.
So they'd go "boing" like this, see?
Speak for yourself.
Could you two be any more relaxed?
Somehow, you girls make me feel like everything would be fine the way it is.
Not like that's going to happen any time soon though, obviously.
To think that they built their facility inside a hollowed out ruin,
so people wouldn't be able to tell what it is from the outside...
They sure like to overdo everything, don't they?
Let's just hope that the access route hasn't changed since I was last here.
Sorry, but I'll be using this instead.
So much for a weapon.
Hakko.
For self-defense.
All right, I'm going to try my best too!
Damn it.
I'm going to grow old and haggardly just waiting like this.
Before Nee-sama comes and showers my body with love,
I'll make sure to put you through a thorough anti-aging treatment, Canaan.
That way you'll never wither.
Looks like this place is still being used.
They're probably just pretending not to keep a watchful eye on this place.
What an obnoxious bunch.
But didn't she say that she was going to destroy everything?
Wouldn't that mean Alphard's already here?
No, you shouldn't take what that woman says to heart.
I don't think Alphard was lying.
I can sense her color.
Her color?
Did you get your synesthesia back?
Hey!
What's wrong?
I can feel something.
But...
I can't see a thing.
This is no good.
We can't save them if their symptoms have progressed this far.
The Unblooms that helped us escape back in Shanghai could still express emotions.
But these ones are...
Hakko!
Holy crap!
We're screwed!
Why did we have to stay behind?
Hold this for me.
I could have helped out too.
It's done!
What does it look like?
A monster's milk tooth.
A jagged ghost.
The gates of hell being opened in all their regal majesty.
You keep saying these scary things.
That's because I'm scared of that place.
Yun Yun...
You said that you might be able to lend a helping hand somehow,
but for me it's impossible.
I can't help with anything.
I think we should go as well.
You won't know whether you'll really be able to do something unless you try!
Yeah, let's go see Canaan.
See Canaan?
Yeah.
A little bit of courage springs inside of me whenever I see Canaan.
It makes me want to puke every time I see her.
What about you?
W-Well, I...
I used to get the same feeling whenever I saw this man I knew.
And if you were to give this feeling a name...
P-Pardon my asking,
but didn't we come here to stop Miss Liang-qi?
Everything has its time.
I missed you.
You finally came back to us.
I've always regretted handing you over to that man.
You do know why this place was born, right?
That's right.
All of this was built so that little runt,
the second Canaan, could be created.
The Ua virus sublimated her synesthesia to new heights.
You were all forced to walk the same path she did,
losing your dignity as humans as a result.
You all became unsightly, distorted Creatures.
You are all so pitiful.
If it wasn't for Canaan,
then the man you love,
the village you love,
and everyone you love wouldn't have...
Calm down.
They haven't done anything—
Come on!
Damn it!
Justice will prevail!
W-What's going on?
Why are you here?
I want you to let me atone for my sins as well.
And you know what?
Canaan is inside this very place!
The origin of all the tragedies and tears...
She's a monster!
And only you can defeat that monster.
Now, let's fight together.
Let's lay down the flowers of mourning for everyone from the village.
Let's make the flower of Canaan's blood
bloom here, in Flower Garden!
That's enough nonsense.
Canaan may have been the beginning, as you've said,
but it was you who dragged us towards this fate!
Stop!
Canaan is fighting to protect something precious to her.
She's not like you, who try to take these precious things away from us.
And I too will protect those who are dear to me.
If my voice is going to make others suffer,
then I'd have it make you suffer!
Just kidding.
Aren't you a foolish one.
Just because you can hear me from there,
doesn't mean I can hear you as well.
Your voice causes vibrations inside the air in a way that
directly affects the brains of those around you.
I have no intention of listening to something so dangerous.
By the way,
I'm sure you're worried sick about this guy.
I've known it all along.
I've known it since she has been wanting to go back to that village.
That the days of happiness that I've been trying to protect all this time...
were nothing more than a prison to her.
If you're willing to forget this place and play by our rules,
we'll let you take that woman with you.
But Nee-sama!
This woman is a valuable Borner, Nee-sama.
And won't everything be easily resolved
if we were to just kill this man right here?
This must be your lucky day.
You want to do her, don't you?
But I'll have you know that her voice is a deadly poison;
you won't even be able to hear her moan in bed.
Even her trivial whispers of love will be like death to you.
Whispers of love.
Hakko wanted me to atone for my sins.
She couldn't possibly have loved the man
who shamelessly ran away from that place.
This research facility is full of little traps.
We have laser beams that shoot out of walls,
spears that spring from the floor,
and ceilings that collapse on you with a "boom"!
So, which one of these do you like best?
That room...
It has to be that room.
I'll...
I'll protect him.
I...
I pity you.
I pity you for dying here, without having had anything worthwhile to protect.
But I'm sorry.
I have to—
Spears from the floor?
Collapsing ceilings?
You've been reading too much manga if you believed that!
This is so funny that I'm crying!
Is he bleeding from his ears?
You did this to him!
Hakko...
It's okay.
I'm sure you've grown to loathe the man that's caused you so much misfortune.
Then...
you love me?
Then let me hear you say it.
Either way...
I won't survive.
Please, Hakko.
I... love you.
Say it again!
Say it again for me!
Please!
I... love you.
Again!
Again...
I love—
Hakko...
Looks like she's finally opened her eyes.
That annoying bitch!
You're an interesting one.
Did you really think you could get away with the word "atone"
even when you know exactly what my ability can do?
That voice just now was Hakko.
But Hakko can't...
It's that over there.
These can effectively block out all UV rays
and cancel out any noise you don't want to hear.
It's an Ultraviolet and Noise Cancelling Helmet!
That was hilarious!
A Borner talking about love?
You're twelve-thousand years too early to start thinking about doing that!
You're nothing but a tool;
one that's going to bestow judgment upon Canaan.
An active noise canceller.
It emits a wave pattern with an inverted phase to any sound,
effectively cancelling it out.
Once this is online,
anyone can become impervious to Hakko's attack;
anyone except Canaan, whose senses are converted into different ones.
I'll be crying out love in the center of a world with no sound, Nee-sama.
Please give me guidance.
I love you...
What is this?
It's not affecting him?
I must be the only one.
There's no sound, yet...
That's right.
Canaan's synesthesia converts sounds into fragrances,
and colors into sound.
All of her senses are intertwined with one another.
So even amidst silence, she can feel Hakko's grief,
and even harm herself by converting it into sound.
I have a score to settle with my past.
If anything were to happen to me...
Please, wake her up from this dream.
This is so strange.
I feel so calm with this thing on.
You sure are weird, aren't you?
Thanks.
That wasn't a compliment.
But are you sure this place is the Flower Garden?
It's all dark and damp;
definitely not an ideal place for flowers to bloom.
Like I said,
this place might be called "Flower Garden," but you won't find any flowers around—
Owwie.
Looks like we stepped into some place amazing.
Yeah.
It smells like a refrigerator in here.
These flowers are so pretty.
Be careful.
You don't want to be smelling those flowers.
What's wrong—
What a bother.
I knew I shouldn't have come here in the afternoon.
Oh my, looks like someone beat me here.
I'm sorry about this.

We're on a see-saw now.
