What are you doing at a place like this, kid?
At this time of night.
Your mom will be worried.
Where's your home? Is it far?
Come on, Tamura-san. I don't think you understand.
You're not the person I asked to see.
I'll get right to the point.
Here. Tell Raozou-chan to build it according to these plans.
Got it?
You don't seem to understand your situation yet.
Isn't logic wonderful?
It happens to be my strong suit.
But...
No matter what I do, you'll still think I'm a nice kid, won't you?
And so...
Even if I do this to you...
It's okay. I won't kill you.
I'm a pacifist at heart. But...
I'll just break some of your ribs.
Well, Haru-chan? Isn't this tender and delicious?
Yes, very good.
Ayako-san.
I feel kinda sick.
...gonna throw up.
Oh no! The finger bowl! Where is it?
What's wrong with me suddenly?
My chest hurts so badly.
Like I promised...
Somebody? Excuse me, anyone?
I'll call an ambulance for you.
Later!
Tamura-san! Tamura-san!
Hang on, Tamura-san!
Huh? It's you, Haru-chan.
Why're you here?
I swear!
First Haru-chan suddenly disappears, then Kazuto-san shows up badly injured.
Really! What kind of night is this?!
Haru-chan.
The uniform looks good on you.
And by the way, thanks.
Uh, I didn't really...
By the way, how did you know that's where I was?
I'm not too sure myself.
That's right, Haru-chan. Do you feel any better?
What's wrong?
Well, he suddenly complained of nausea.
And then he suddenly vanished.
The next thing I know, I get a call from the hospital!
This is a little too much!
Tamura-san, was that boy the one who hurt you?
So you saw that brat?
And this case that was next to you,...
...it looks like the blueprints for the interior of Tokyo Tower.
This is strange. Very strange!
These designs are so sophisticated, it shouldn't be possible for Earthlings...
What am I saying?
That's it! But... but that can't be right!
From my dreams.
These are the same plans I saw on the moon.
But... that's a dream. Only a dream.
Haru-chan.
Huh? I'm in classroom 1?!
What? The same class again?
Ohh, we are in different classes this year.
But Ogura-kun and Nishikiori-kun are together.
Only I'm in room 1.
Say, Sakaguchi-san. You want to join the choir with me?
Choir? You're in the choir, Suzuki-san?
I really recommend it for a quiet person like you.
You'll really like it!
How can I explain it? It just feels really great when you belt it out!
It's a great stress reliever!
Sounds interesting.
You really think so? Then, let's start today!
Sorry, not today. I've already made plans.
Gee, too bad.
Well, next time, then.
You going out?
You've completely forgotten about our date, haven't you?!
Now that school's started, we can only go out on weekends, you know!
Oops, that's right.
Take me along.
Huh? I can't!
Why not?!
Are you going to a study group?!
Sakaguchi-san, what IS this?
I'm sorry. This is my next-door neighbor, Rin-kun.
Um, is it okay if he comes along?
Listen! You're gonna be bored, you know.
There's gonna be a lot of grown-up talk, you know.
Hey...!
Now, now. It's okay.
Since it's Sakaguchi-san asking...
Here's your juice, Rin-kun.
Thank you very much.
So anyway, Hiragi.
Still no word at all from Shion or Shukaido?
I've submitted articles to various magazines,...
...but they must not have seen it.
It won't be that easy to find them.
Shouldn't you advertise in the technical magazines...
...if you want Shukaido to see it?
Could be! Shukaido always was the studious type.
Anyway, Gyokulan, Mokulen, Enju...
You haven't seen any signs of your special abilities yet?
Your powers. You know, ESP.
As I recall, Gyokulan and Mokulen, and also Shion and Shukaido,...
...all possessed rather powerful abilities.
Right. And Enju was a telepath.
But this has already been proven.
Enju reacted to Gyokulan's thoughts and they shared a common dream.
I... I mean, Gyokulan, was an ESPer?
That's right.
But unlike the others, you didn't have as much control over it,...
...so you had to wear a special earring to dampen your power.
Oh, that.
But I can't use any ESP powers now.
Hey, hey.
I was just thinking, but we used to be aliens, right?
And it IS true that we've all been reincarnated.
Not only that, the five of us here share memories of a common past.
If we announce this to the scientific community,...
...we'd be one hell of a sensation, don't you think?
And I AM serious.
Well, actually, I've considered that possibility, too.
Just think, humans with alien knowledge, integrated into human society.
This could very well be the next step in human evolution.
Then, I thought about it more.
How does this fit into the theory of evolution?
Neo-Darwinism*?
*Theory of evolution by gradual change.
Neo-Lamarckism*?
*Theory of evolution by inheritance.
Not likely!
It may be, but it can't be proven until there's data on our own descendants.
According to Darwin's theory,...
...we would be considered mutations, a completely new species of humans.
A mutation that could only have occured under very unique circumstances.
Whereas the Neo-Lamarckists would love to study...
...whether our hereditary traits will be passed on to our descendants.
That's the sad thing about being a scientist.
They would love to discredit Sahjareem.
But the more they study Sahjareem, the harder they find it to discredit her.
We are here now even against such astronomical odds...
...because all the variables fell in place at the necessary time and place.
And with all these amazing variables falling in place,...
...it would be unscientific to discount Sahjareem's influence.
I'm just amazed that with the chances as they were, we're all here again.
Wh-who are you?
Sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet.
I'm the seven-year old reincarnation of Shukaido.
WHAT?!?!
Not so loud!
I'm the one who should be really surprised.
B-b-but...
Shusulan!
You're the type who snaps easily!
How many times have I hit you with the tranquilizer?!
Hiragi!
There are six bald spots on the back of your head!
Gyokulan!
You cried when your ear got pierced!
Enju!
Your favorite Earth foods are grated daicon and fried asparagus!
And you, Mokulen.
You always said you wanted to be part of the Earth's atmosphere.
Alice, this is the first time I knew you were Mokulen.
H-hold it hold it hold it!
H-how come you're the only one who's a kid?!
This is my second reincarnation.
I died very young in a traffic accident the first time.
I...
I'm...
What's the problem, Alice?
It's going to rain.
Rin-kun, when did you first realize you were Shukaido-san?
Was it... was it because of the accident?
Alice!
Don't cry. It's not your fault.
It's the will of Sahjareem.
I would have realized sooner or later.
But...
But I'm probably not even Mokulen-san, Rin-kun!
I'm going to stop meeting with everyone!
I've only had the dream about the moon once!
There's no way I could be Mokulen-san!
Mokulen...
If only...
If only you could stay by me.
Rin-kun.
Why didn't you mention the engagement?
I didn't think it would be nice.
You'd have been embarrassed, with a kid like me as your fianci.
Come on.
You'll catch a cold, Alice.
Let's hurry back.
All of you, listen carefully.
Gyokulan is dead.
NOOOO!!!
What a joke.
Some leader I am.
Was I responsible?
I had no idea this would happen.
All of you suffer now... why should I still serve as leader?
Somebody tell me.
Should we have gone down to Earth?
Was I wrong?
We have to hold onto hope.
We still have the Earth.
We're supposed to watch over it.
But...
Come on! Why do we have to stay here anymore?!
Let's go down to Earth!
Stop that right now, Shusulan!
That's the one thing I cannot permit!
We should have gone down to the Earth before the disease ever struck!
You've contracted it, haven't you?
We're done for!
We're all going to die, aren't we?!
We should all take the capsule! And get it over with!
If you keep saying things like that,...
...I'll ram this dirty water down your throat!
Shusulan's dead.
Hiragi. And Enju.
Shukaido, you did all you could.
We'll have to continue living for their sake.
Shion.
Looks like I've been infected, too.
So this may sound strange, but you should be happy.
I may have finally found it.
This might give both of you a better chance to survive.
Where's Mokulen?
I have to give this to her.
We should hurry.
Shukaido.
I'm so ashamed.
I've misjudged you terribly.
Forgive me.
No! You're wrong!
What? Joined the choir?!
That's right.
So stop bothering our chorus members. Got that?!
But, Sakaguchi-san. The day after tomorrow is Sunday.
Why can't you make it?
We have rehearsals on Sundays.
I-I'm sorry, Ogura-kun.
...that's what she said.
Which means she's planning to skip the meeting on Sunday.
So what d'you think?
It's probably okay.
See? You think so, too.
Wh-what the hell do you mean?!
Look, let me ask you.
What are we trying to accomplish with our meetings?
Are we doing anything?
See? You don't have an answer.
I don't know what kind of mission you and the others think we're all on.
I'm sorry, but I don't intend to let my past life dictate my current one.
Who knows if Sakaguchi-san feels the same way or not?
But that poor girl. We shouldn't force her to attend.
Well, in that case, what about poor me?
Now that we've changed classes, I never get to see her.
And yet I'm scared if I tell her I like her, it'd ruin our friendship.
A-are you saying that because she's Mokulen?
How should I know?!
But I can't help falling for her!
How can you?!
How could you even think of doing this?!
You're obsessing on her!
Poor Sakaguchi-san!
Why're you getting on my case like that?
How's this affect you--
Issei, don't tell me that you like Sakaguchi-san, too?
I'm...
I'm not Enju!
I'm Nishikiori Issei.
But... but...
That's right! I'm in love!
Well, Haru-chan?
Why don't you tell me everything that's been bothering you?
Next time... I promise.
How're you doing?
What are you so scared of?
We have to talk.
You CAN fly, can't you?
So, you DO know who I am?
You've got to have an idea.
It's been a long time. I've really wanted to see you, Shukaido.
Huh? What-?
That IS your name, ``Shukaido.''
How... Who in the world...?
Well, well. Now this is unexpected.
Maybe I've overestimated you.
But isn't it strange?
What is it about me that frightens you so much?
You're starting to remember, aren't you?
You know those dreams are from your past, don't you?
And what did you do in that life?
Should I spell it out for you?
No... It's impossible!
You never vaccinated Mokulen, did you?
No! That was a dream! Just a dream!
It's not for real!
She came down with it only moments after you died.
But at the time I simply thought the vaccine didn't work for her.
I realized only after Mokulen died.
There were no traces of vaccine in her blood.
Not because I didn't want to! I couldn't!
There wasn't any more!
I only made enough vaccine for one!
Oh? Very impressive!
Pretty good for someone who just regained his memory.
Just now, you insisted it was only a dream and not for real.
So why did you give me the only dose of vaccine?
Why did you pick me?
Because...
Because... you abused Mokulen!
I see. So it was for revenge.
And what about the nine years I lived alone after that?!
The age difference between us!
And the living hell of being surrounded by all your dead bodies!
You call this justifiable retribution?!
I must compliment you. The vaccine worked very well.
You seemed to know our personalities very well indeed.
It was just like you planned.
Her last request to me was to watch over the Earth to the end...
...and to promise not to take my own life.
And so, I couldn't refuse.
Nine years later, when I finally contracted the disease...
...I laughed and rejoiced.
By then I was probably already insane.
But what do we have here now?
We seem to have each other's appearances from before.
How very ironic.
Did you harbor some desire to become Shion?
If so, then we're in the same boat.
That means you wanted to abuse her as well.
You'll have to atone for this.
You will help me, won't you?
I want to destroy the moon base.
I want you to remember your password.
Why?
So that our existence on the moon won't be discovered by Earth.
Our mistakes are recorded in our history.
And those mistakes must be atoned for.
I want to protect the Earth.
Let's celebrate Tamura-san's recovery!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Cut that out!
We're in front of a hospital!
But, Tamura-san!
Oh, Kazuto-san.
Kazuto-san.
Uh, you're going home today?
Yes, thanks.
Oh, what should I do? I didn't visit you even once!
Don't worry. Haru-chan's been by a few times.
By the way, how's Haru-chan?
He promised to talk to me about something.
Has something happened to Haru-chan?
Tamura-san. I... I don't know what to do.
Ma'am!
Three days ago, about nine in the evening.
Haruhiko, welcome home.
He came back home soaking wet.
I don't know what happened, but he seemed very depressed.
And how is he now?
He hasn't eaten or come out of his room.
And he won't let me in.
No matter how much my husband shouted and pleaded, he won't let us in.
Haru-chan. It's me.
Can I come in?
No! Don't come in!
But you promised you would talk to me. Didn't you, Haru-chan?
This is a man-to-man promise.
I'm coming in.
Wh-who are you?!

Did you want to meet him as a guy this time?
Yup. You got it.
I know who I am.
I'm Enju.
I'd really like you to meet someone.
But. As Shion.
And ask for their password.
No! Rin-kun's an eight-year old boy!
He's a child who should have been protected but wasn't!
