Jiki...
The rainbow...
I... want to go there.
It might be Karoku!
I want to go there!
Yeah, well...
I feel like we're being lured there and it makes me uneasy, but...
Let's go then.
Yeah.
How transparent.
You want to keep us from it that badly, huh?
Episode 13 Karneval
Gareki!
Dorn Kiste!
This is too dangerous for you now, Gareki.
I'll get you back to the airship right away.
You're going to where that rainbow is, right?
Yeah.
That must be where...
I know I'd only get in the way and...
Since this has been going on...
The speed that you operate at...
It's totally...
I feel like... real deadweight, but...
I'm sorry.
Take me with you.
Please.
What?
Oh, uh... What?
Whoa, Gareki!
Gareki...
You know, actually,
the truth is, I...
...wanted you to come with me, too.
Let's go help Nai together!
Azana, you're confused!
You must be aware that what you're saying doesn't make any sense!
We are weak...
Even Murano, who cared so deeply for the creatures of Vint,
sought out the strength of Varugas...
The person who was using my name to distribute the drug was you?
Everyone trusts your name, Dr. Akari.
I don't want to do anything violent,
but I want you to come with me, so...
Hirato?
D-Dr. Akari, I have admired you greatly...
Your strength and passion...
Always...
But...
Why are you so exceptional?
Why do you exist?!
The misery! The hate! For me! For you!
I hate you!
National Defense Agency, Research Tower,
Room of Life personnel, Azana.
Treason is a serious crime.
According to regulations, I could even execute you on the spot.
Hirato, don't!
Wait! Azana!
We left him at large in order to obtain indisputable proof.
Ikami will continue to pursue Azana, no matter where he goes.
Azana...
Woohoo!
Hey!
The bug in the last dungeon!
Wha?!
Woohoo!
Honestly!
Please do not interfere, Tsuki!
Kiichi, you did good back there.
Pulling your punches...
When the Banshees' restraints do not kill their target,
they adjust the pressure they exert...
In terms of the current situation, the balance they strike
is "enough power to immobilize without killing" one individual, me.
But in that moment, I was successful in opening a hole under my stomach.
A hole of summoning for my servants to emerge from.
Increase the pressure!
Fools!
And the balance is shattered!
Attempting to capture me with only remotely controlled Banshees?
The Circus Airship Two captain certainly thinks little of me...
The rainbow light unleashed upon the sky
is drawing all the Circus scum to it...
I shall do them the favor of eradicating them all in one fell swoop.
Why don't you go on over there as well?
That's our line!
Damn! What a pain!
Huh?
Hey, that's confusing.
That snap just now! I heard that snap! That was close!
Yogi! Gareki!
Yo.
- Nai, were you scared at all? Are you okay? - Don't let your guard down.
The base of the rainbow...
Look, it's there.
Karoku...
How would you like to fall asleep in the embrace of a mother's arms?
Before the door is closed,
I will grant you eternal peace...
So there's a time limit?
Jiki!
I'll take care of this!
Got it!
Is that...
Yogi!
Dorn Kiste!
Iva!
Tsukumo!
Run, Nai!
Let us make it! Let us make it!
Follow the gentle sound of air flowing
and make your way over here.
Here, it is the inside a giant seashell
where even the faintest whir of wings overlap and echo beautifully.
Even in a space where there is nothing,
if you go there, a miracle will be born...
Hand over the key to the door!
If you do not,
now, in this instant,
I will take your head!
Young Circus...
This situation...
It is a box of secrets for us as well.
Only one who has the key to the lock from within may open it.
What are you?!
Nai.
Ka... roku?
Karoku!
Nai.
Karoku, you're alive!
You're hurt... Are you okay?
That's Karoku?
Or rather, where are we?
Hey, Nai, there's something on the ground...
Why're you totally ignoring it?
I can't move?!
So, hey, is it okay if I give this to Gareki?
- Come on, my voice... - I promised it to him when he saved me.
- My voice! - I promised it to him when he saved me.
Nai!
- This is messed up! You idiot! - What?
Oh...
Karoku?
Karoku!
Huh? Karoku?
Blood... So much blood...
I thought I'd let him see you one last time,
so I lent my voice to his feelings and called to you.
Telling you, "Come right away."
He was happy to have seen you, Nai.
Because in reality,
he was supposed to have ended his time somewhere much more empty.
I'm pleased to meet you for the first time.
After all, you and I have only spoken to each other until now.
But the Karoku who spent time with you in Rainbow Forest
is now inside me, too.
So you see, I'm Karoku.
Nai.
You don't wear old clothes that aren't useful anymore, right?
It's the same thing.
Have I surprised you?
Come here, Nai.
You've done great, coming all this way here.
After all, it's natural for you to be over on this side.
Damn it! My hand... Go up!
Go on and say a proper goodbye to Gareki.
You can't stay with them forever, you know.
No...
This is wrong...
Nai, you're being so difficult.
If I break Gareki, will it rid you of your attachment?
Don't!
Don't mess with me!
Crap! His pulse...
You leave me no choice...
If you still haven't had enough fun, I'll wait for you.
I'm a generous person, after all.
Nai.
Go off and play on your own.
Launching an attack without our approval?!
Are you aware of just how much confusion your actions have raised, Circus?!
This entire incident took place at my sole discretion.
I will take responsibility.
So he says, but I'm equally culpable for having supported him.
I am aware of the situation,
but I would like you to turn your attention to the results as well.
Results, you say?!
Don't be ridiculous!
You never so much as laid eyes on Palnedo
and Palnedo has claimed that this was a case of Uro acting alone
and that he is completely innocent!
You failed to capture this Uro as well
and furthermore, Azana, who is accused of treason, is also missing!
By the way,
what of this Karoku, whom you reported as the target of your rescue?
Karoku was transported in a state of cardiac arrest
and while he was revived under Dr. Akari's care,
he has yet to regain consciousness.
Karoku...
Nai.
We should return to the airship for now.
Okay.
So, like!
A way to get in as a special case, even without a family register, or with a test...
I'm asking if there isn't some way!
You mean the government's School?
What do you want to study there?
I really hate the Varugas and Kafka and all those guys...
They killed Tsubaki. They killed Yotaka.
And they make people like Tsubame and Nai cry like crazy...
It just pisses me off real bad...
At first...
I thought that if I stayed here,
I'd eventually be able to get back at the bastards of Kafka...
But somehow, just being here without being useful...
It's really lame, you know?
That's why!
I want to get the right skills and qualifications and stuff!
And become able to win against Varugas!
And be able... to be with you guys... and know I belong...
Hey! I'm saying I want to make a job of it, okay?!
What's this all of a sudden?
I was quietly listening to what you had to say.
I went through the books,
but there's nothing about how to get in if you have no family register!
I understand.
In that case, I'll get you tossed in there.
Into the School.
But only because I'm responsible for having dragged you around.
Any results beyond that point will be entirely up to you.
It won't be easy.
It'll be interesting to see if you emerge to rejoin our world again.
You can bet on it!
So he's not here...
He was talking to Mr. Hirato before we went to the Misty Mansion...
Yukkin.
No, I want to stay here with everyone.
Together with everyone.
Nai... Yogi...
It was good, right? Because that's the path that Gareki chose...
When Gareki asked me what it meant to be a child of Airship Two,
I got really worried.
Because I mean, we're supposed to not exist in this world, you know?
When we join Circus,
in order to keep our families out of harm's way...
In order to keep those bonds from shackling us,
they manipulate our family registers and data...
This is the only place we can call home.
Outside, we meet all sorts of people and make friends,
but then they all pass on by...
So, you see, when you and Gareki came here,
it made me really happy.
It was like a breeze from the outside had come blowing through here
and I was thrilled.
But you know, there'll be lots of things for Gareki outside
and he has to get to know lots of people he'll cherish...
That's why...
Gareki!
You guys...
Gareki, y-you know...
Gareki...
Don't cry. It'll trouble Gareki.
Gareki...
Think of him as me and if you have any problems, talk to him, okay?!
And you talk to that scrap of cloth?
Gareki, um...
I-I'm still bad at this,
but I made this with Nai.
A Niji plushy...
Think of this as Nai and...
Ugly... It's so warped.
Thanks.
Gareki.
Here.
Karoku's still asleep, right?
Yeah.
Then ask him before we see each other again next time.
Whether you can give it to me or not.
Yeah, I'll keep calling to Karoku.
Gareki!
I don't like this! What if we never get to see each other again?!
Be my reason
And now everything
Be my power, future
Yogi! Nai!
But I mean! After everything...
Begins to move
Be my reason
Hey, hold on a second.
By your side
Be my power, future
Huh?
Then are you guys thinking that I'll never get qualified
and I won't be able to come back?!
When it comes to naming emotions
What?
It's endless if you start listing them
You got some problem with me coming back?
What?
But if your eyes shout them out
Qualified... for what?
I'll identify them by instinct
You haven't heard from that four-eyed turd?
Hirato...
Trust. Haunting me
Could it be that he did this on purpose?
Trash. Both the light and the dark there
What?!
You are seriously twisted, you know that?
Just like a piece coming together
There's a reason for it all
Mr. Hirato, the reason you bother with Gareki
is because he was on that ship, right?
Whether it's coincidence or natural progression
What ship?
Kafka's experiment ship.
It's changing into an encounter I want to have faith in
Oh.
There's Gareki, who survived that ship through sheer luck, and then, after the passage of time,
My heart is warming up bit by bit
there's Nai, who brought Gareki all the way here from a chance encounter.
It's not for show, there are no trade-offs either
One of those so-called miraculous encounters?
I'm just being my real self
Various things certainly get tangled together in strange ways.
Standing in a place of my own choosing
Perhaps Nai's very existence is drawing the inevitable closer.
And I want you to know that
Be my reason
And now everything
Be my power, future
Begins to move
Be my reason
By your side
Be my power, future
So long.
Just because it's a cliché turn of events
What is it?
It doesn't mean you can relax, right?
Hardening your resolve time and again
It's going to make you strong
Cloud. No looking away
Gareki, you've grown warm.
Crash. Don't gloss over things anymore
Huh?!
Accept what's right for you
A dazzling future
So long, you stinking animal!
The awkward pride and the bright world beyond
I'll shine a light on the smile I want to find
And we'll make our way there, without fail
It's not a whim, no empty consolation either
Run in this all-out moment
And in the overlapping vectors
Feel the meaning of it all
Be my reason
By your side
Be my power, future
