What are you doing here, kid?
It's so late at night.
Your mom's probably worried.
Do you live around here?
This wasn't the deal, Tamura.
I didn't ask you to come here.
I'll make my explanation short and simple.
Tell Raozo to have the tower renovated...
according to these plans.
Understand?
It seems you still can't accept the situation.
Common sense is a wonderful thing.
You still want to be my friend.
But...
Do you think I'm a nice little boy...
no matter what I do?
Even if I do this?
Or this?
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
I consider myself a pacifist.
But...
I will have to break a few of your ribs.
Mmm! Haru.
This has such a delicate taste.
It's so delicious!
- Ayako. - Huh?
I feel nauseous.
I'm going to throw up!
What? I'll go get a bucket!
What's happening? This sudden pain in my chest.
It's a promise, right?
Somebody! Excuse me! Anybody!
I'll call an ambulance for you. See ya!
Mr. Tamura? Mr. Tamura?
Hang in there! Mr. Tamura!
Huh? Haru! What are you doing here?
Haru disappears, and you Kazuto...
You get injured. What is going on?
Really!
Haru...
Huh?
You look good in your new uniform.
And thank you for tonight.
But...l didn't really do anything.
By the way, Haru, how did you know where I was?
I don't really know myself.
And are you feeling better now, Haru?
What happened?
Well, he wasn't feeling well...
and the next thing I know he was gone!
And then, I get a call from the hospital.
I was so shocked.
Mr. Tamura, did that boy do this to you?
Did you see him, Haru?
This tube was lying next to you.
It looks like plans for the Tokyo Tower renovations.
But, it's so odd. The technology in these plans...
People of Earth aren't capable of such-
What am I saying?
This can't be happening.
These plans are exactly what I saw in my dreams.
I remember seeing these plans on the moon.
But that was a dream!
It was supposed to be a dream!
Haru...
- Huh? I'm in homeroom 1. - Yeah! We're in the same class!
I knew we'd be separated.
Jinpachi and Issei are in the same class...
but I'm all by myself in homeroom 1.
Alice! Would you like to join the chorus with me?
Chorus? You're in the chorus?
It's really good for shy people like you.
It feels great to sing out loud!
It's a great relief for stress.
Sounds fun.
Really? Do you want to go to today's practice?
I can't today. I've got something to do.
That's too bad. Well, come to the next pracice for sure, okay?
Going out?
Umm, yes.
You've completely forgotten about our date!
Don't you realize that once school starts...
we can only go out on weekends?
Now that you mention it...
Take me with you.
I can't.
Why not!? Are you going to study or something?
SHINAGAWA STATION
Alice, what's this?
I'm sorry. This is my neighbor Rin.
Can he come along?
You won't have any fun.
We're gonna talk about grown-up stuff.
It'll be fine. After all, it's a favor for Alice.
Here's some juice for you, Rin.
Thank you very much.
Hiiragi, haven't you heard...
anything from Shion or Shukaido yet?
Nope. I've written to a bunch of magazines...
but I guess they don't read em.
It's not going to be easy to find them.
I bet we would hear from Shukaido...
if we write to some old geezer magazine.
Yes, he did have that type of personality, didn't he?
By the way, Gyokuran, Mokuren, Enju, have
any of you experienced your special powers yet?
Huh!?
Your special powers. You know, ESP.
I remember that Gyokuran, Mokuren, Shion...
and Shukaido had pretty strong psychic powers.
That's right, and Enju is a telepath.
But that's already been proven.
Gyokuren's dream resonated into Enju's mind...
and you both had the same dream.
I'm... I mean, Gyokuran has psychic powers?
That's right. You couldn't control your powers...
so you had to wear earrings that limited your power.
Oh, that's what those were.
But, I don't have ESP, now.
Hey, hey!
I was thinking. We all used to be aliens, right?
And we've all been reincarnated and share similar memories.
If this was made public, even in just the academic world...
it would be really big news!
I've had similar thoughts.
The consciousness of aliens have been born into the bodies of humans.
This could be a major step in the development of mankind.
I've been thinking about...
where this would fall within the theories of evolution.
Neo-Darwinism? Neo-Lamarckism?
That would never happen.
?! ?! ?! ?? !!??
We would have to wait for data collected...
on the future generations of our progeny.
According to Darwin's Theory of Evolution...
we are the result of random mutations that occurred...
within existing species to make a completely new species.
However, the mutations could be a reaction to a specific environment.
In which case, your Neo-Lamarckist would study whether or not...
these traits would be passed down to later generations.
That's the lament of scientists.
They want to reject Sarjalim, but the more we study the universe...
the more we are unable to reject the existence of Sarjalim.
We are here because...
all the astronomical probabilities coincidentally...
fell into place at a specific moment and a specific location.
With the occurrence of such improbable events...
it would be more unscientific to deny the existence of Sarajalim.
I was truly surprised.
I never would have expected that...
all of us could meet again like this by some incredible twist of fate.
W-Who are you?
How rude of me. I should have properly introduced myself.
I'm a seven year old kid with the memory of Shukaido.
!!!!!!!!!!????
Hey! You don't have to be so loud!
I'm more surprised than all of you!
But...
Shusuran! You are so short tempered, I don't know how many times...
I had to give you tranquilizers!
Hiiragi! You have six bald spots on the back of your head!
Gyokuran! You cried like a baby when I pierced your ears.
Enju! Your favorite food is fried asparagus and grated daikon!
And Mokuren.
You always used to say you wanted to encompass the Earth...
Iike its atmosphere.
Alice, I never realized that you were Mokuren.
W-W-Wait a minute!
How come you're the only one that is a kid!
This is my second reincarnation.
The first time, I was an infant that died in a car accident.
I-l...
What's wrong Alice?
Its gonna start raining soon.
Rin? When did you first realize that you were Shukaido?
Was it after you fell from the balcony?
Alice!
Don't cry.
It's Sarajalim's will.
Sooner or later I would have remembered.
I'm -I'm probably not Mokuren!
I'm going to stop meeting with those guys.
I've only had one moon dream.
I know I'm not Mokuren!
Mokuren!
As long... As long as we are together.
Rin?
Why didn't you tell them about the engagement?
I didn't want to embarrass you.
Having such a little kid as your finacee.
C'mon.
You'll catch a cold.
Let's hurry home.
Everyone. Brace yourselves.
Gyokuran is dead.
No!
Pathetic. What kind of leader am l?
I'm so uncertain of the future.
How can I be qualified to be responsible?
Tell me! Should we have gone down to Earth?
Was I wrong?!
Don't lose hope. We still have the Earth.
We still must watch over it.
Yes, but...
We can't just wait here and die!
Let's go down to the Earth!
Shusuran! That's enough!
I can't give permission for that!
We should have went down to the Earth...
before this virus infected us!
We're all infected.
It's too late! We're all going to die!
We should all die together in the capsule!
We can all rest in peace for eternity together!
If you keep going on like that...
I'm going to shut you up with this dirty water.
Shusuran is dead. So is Hiiragi and Enju.
Shukaido, I'm proud of you.
We have to live on, for the sake of our departed friends.
Shion, it looks like I'm infected too.
This may sound strange, but there is good news.
I think I've found a vaccine.
This may lengthen your lives.
Where's Mokuren?
There's no time to lose.
You should both be vaccinated.
Shukaido!
I'm so ashamed. I've misjudged you!
Forgive me!
No! This is wrong!
What? She joined the chorus?
That's right! So don't come bugging her at practices!
But, Alice! The day after tomorrow is Sunday. Why can't you come?
There's practice on Sundays too!
I-I'm sorry, Jinpachi.
That's what she said. She's not coming to meet us on Sunday.
What do you think?
That's okay.
That's right...
Wait a minute! What are you saying?
What's the point of us meeting?
See, you can't answer me.
You all might be caught up with some kind of sense of duty or something.
But I don't want my previous life to determine what I do in this one.
I refuse!
Alice doesn't necessarily have the same doubts as me.
But I would feel sorry for her if we forced her to come to our meetings.
I feel sorry for myself!
Now that she's in a different class, I don't even get to see her.
I'm afraid that if I confess my love to her, it'll ruin our friendship.
Is it because she used to be Mokuren?!
I don't know.
I'm in love and I can't help it.
That's awful!
It's unnnatural!
I feel sorry for Alice!
Why does it bother you so much? I mean, it's not like you, Issei!
You're not in love with Alice, too?
I-I'm... I-I'm not Enju!
I'm Issei Nishikiori! But... B-But...
I'm in love!
Haru...
Won't you tell me about what's been upsetting you?
Okay, we can talk next time.
Hello!
What are you afraid of?
I want to talk to you.
You can fly, right?
Do you know who I am?
You must have figured it out.
It's been a long time.
I've been wanting to see you, Shukaido.
What?
I called you Shukaido.
B-But how? Who--
Who are you?
I guess I over-estimated you.
But why should you be so afraid of me?
It's because you're starting to remember.
You realize your dreams are from a previous life.
And what did you do in that life? Let's take a guess.
B-But... This can't be!
You didn't give the vaccine to Mokuren.
No! That's just a dream! It's not real!
It was shortly after you died that Mokuren became sick.
At the time, I thought the vaccine didn't work.
But later...
I discovered no traces of the vaccine in her blood.
It wasn't that I didn't want to give her a shot!
There wasn't enough of the vaccine.
There was only enough for one person!
Impressive!
It's a past life, but you do remember.
And you were just going on about how it was just a dream.
So why did you give it to me?
Why did you choose me?
B-Because you hurt her!
I see. So it was revenge.
Then what should I do about the nine years that I suffered alone?
Those nine years. That's the difference in our ages.
That's the number of years I had to suffer surrounded by your bodies.
You think I deserved those nine years?
I have to give you credit. The vaccine worked well.
And you understood how we would act.
It went just as you planned.
Her last request was for me to watch over the Earth.
She didn't want me to take my own life.
You knew that I would never go against her word.
Nine years later, I finally came down with the symptoms.
I laughed and cried aloud.
I was probably insane by that time.
But what do you think?
It seems as if we've traded bodies.
How ironic.
Did you wish to be reincarnated as Shion?
Then we're two of a kind.
You wanted to hurt Mokuren too.
You have to atone for that.
You'll cooperate with me, won't you?
I want to destroy the moon base.
You must remember your key word as soon as possible.
Why?
So the Earth will not have the same fate as our home planet.
Our planet made many mistakes.
We have to take responsibility for those mistakes.
I want to save the Earth.
Mr. Tamura, congratulations on your recovery!
- Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! - Stop!
We're in front of a hospital.
But, Mr. Tamura...
Kazuto. Over there.
So you've been released from the hospital today?
Yes, thank you for everything.
But, I didn't even visit you once.
Don't worry. Haru came so often.
By the way, where is he?
He promised we would have a talk.
Did something happen to Haru?
Mr. Tamura, l-l don't know what to do!
Mrs. Kasama!
Three days ago, around 9pm...
Welcome home, Haruhiko.
He came home soaking wet.
I don't know what happened, but he was so depressed.
And how is he now?
He won't eat and he won't even come out of his room.
He won't even let us in.
My husband tries to talk to him, but he still won't let us in.
Haru! It's me. Let me in.
No! Don't come in!
You promised to tell me what was bothering you.
A man must not go against his word.
I'm coming in.
W-Who are you!?
So you wanted the both of you to be reborn as men this time?
Yes, exactly.
Do you know who I am?
I'm Enju!
I want them to meet you.
But as Shion.
And I want you to find out her key word.
No! He's only eight!
I didn't protect him when he needed me most!
W-Who are you!?
M-r.-
Mr. Tamura!
Save...me...
Mr. Tamura!
Haru!
Tell me what's going on.
Don't hold anything back.
If... If I tell him everything, even Mr. Tamura will come to hate me.
I can't!
Haru!
I can't tell you!
So, what did you want to talk about?
Are you still having the moon dreams?
Yes.
Still having the same dreams as Gyokuran?
No, not recently.
I'm gonna be blunt and ask you.
You're not still...
in love with Gyokuran, are you?
You are, aren't you?
Aren't you ever going to change?
On the moon, I died early on.
So, I was worried about what happened to you afterwards.
You didn't kill yourself, did you?
I couldn't have.
Remember? Mokuren used to say that...
you can't be reincarnated if you commit suicide.
And I wanted to meet Gyokuren, assuming he would be reincarnated.
So, you wanted the both of you to be reborn as men this time?
Yes, exactly.
As men, we can always be friends and never have to deal with breaking up.
That's how I've always thought.
Listen Enju! You have to get over him!
You're heading for nothing but heartbreak!
If only I could give up on him...
Huh?
Look, that guy is in his pajamas!
What's he doing?
Maybe he's gonna dive in!
No way!
H-he's trying to drown himself!
Enju!
Somebody! Somebody help!
I want to destroy the moon base.
You must remember your key word as soon as possible.
Shion!
Hiiragi, what is this?
Earth music. Mokuren's taken a liking to it.
Are you translating it for her?
That's right.
Separated from the homeland...
Seeking paradise in a dream.
Hey! They're singing about us!
Now then...
What should I use as my key word?
Seeking paradise in a dream.
Mr. Tamura...
Mr. Tamura!
I'm sorry. Seeing that you're okay...
just made me...
I'm sorry Mr. Tamura!
Haru, I've decided not to ask you about your problem.
But remember.
I'll wait for as long as...
it takes for you to come to me and talk about it.
Thank you!
Words do not begin to express my gratitude!
Your welcome.
I just... You even went to the trouble of buying this change of clothes.
Thank you! From the bottom of my heart!
Hello? Sakaguchi residence.
Huh? My sister? Hold on a minute.
Hello? I'm sorry, she's not home right now.
Yes. Okay. Goodbye.
C'mon Alice!
You should talk to him.
I feel sorry for that Jinpachi guy.
It's none of your business!
At least he's better than Rin!
Hajime!
Jeez!
I stopped seeing my moon world friends.
But they still were on my mind.
I've only had that one moon dream.
So, its better this way.
But...
Why is Jinpachi so sure that I'm Mokuren?
Alice? Have you had any more moon dreams?
No.
Really?
Rin?
Do you really think that I'm Mokuren?
You are Mokuren.
The way you love plants.
And the way that the plants love you back.
The air is so gentle to you.
All of it is proof you are loved by the Earth.
This also proves that you are Mokuren.
But I know why you don't remember your past life as Mokuren.
Shion hurt Mokuren.
You must be suppressing that memory.
But, I just don't believe that I'm Mokuren.
Then, what would you do if we found Shion?
D-Did you find him?!
Not yet.
Do you want to see Shion?
I'm a big fan of Shion's.
I see.
You've found the others?!
Yes. I want you to meet them.
But as Shion.
W-Why?
They know me as Shukaido.
Mokuren will be there too.
You want to see her, don't you?
She doesn't remember her past life yet.
I want you to get close to her...
seduce her...
and I want you to find out her key word.
Understand?
Sakaguchi residence.
Umm, this is Jinpachi-
Oh! Um, My sister's not home right now.
Oh, I see... Bye-
W-Wait a minute!
Jinpachi, I want to tell you something.
What!? Really? Okay.
Uh... You wanted to talk to me?
I talked to your brother on Sunday.
Is it true that you are engaged to...
your neighbor, Rin Kobayashi?
It's true.
I'm against it!
I could never support that.
You're making a big mistake.
I know you want to take responsibility for what happened.
But you have to be sincere. And you're not being sincere!
You're just sacrificing yourself...
because you want to relieve your guilt.
That's not compassion!
That's not sincerity!
You shouldn't get engaged out of a sense of duty!
It should be based on mutual love.
I...
I love you, Alice!
B-But...
I...
I created a huge scar on Rin's heart when he was just a seven year old child.
It's not as simple as you say it is.
Th-Then you're going to marry him just because you feel obligated?
Are you going to force yourself to fall in love with him!?
You're wrong about him!
He's not a eight year old kid! Inside, he's--
No! Rin is an eight year old!
He's only eight! And I didn't protect him when he needed me most!
A-And I'm not Mokuren!
I'm just Alice Sakaguchi!
I'm an awful girl who let Rin fall from the balcony.
I see. So you're depressed because you think Alice hates you now.
That's right.
I hate it when you act like this.
I'm sorry Issei.
I just had to tell her how I felt.
Jinpachi, do you really believe that Alice is Mokuren?
You don't have any doubts?
I told you I hate it when you act like this...
because you are acting exactly like Gyokuran.
You think so?
Do you know who I am?
You did the same thing to me when you were Gyokuran.
How could you come to me for advice about your broken heart.
Jinpachi.
You said you were in love with Alice, right?
Did l?
Why are you looking at me like that? You're acting weird today.
Do you think you're the only one controlled by his past life?
I'm...
Enju!
C-Cut it out!
Quit playing around!
Are you serious!?
I was just kidding. You idiot.
You look fine!
You aren't coming to our meetings...
and I heard you've missed four days of school.
I was worried about you.
I'm gonna be blunt.
What happened between you and Gyokuran?
I kissed him.
You are completely hopeless.
Good morning Jinpachi!
What's with that face?
Loan me your notes, okay?
Issei, l-
Don't worry about it.
That was just a bad joke.
And, I've decided to stop going to the meetings.
No way! We just found Shion!
Really?
Yeah. He contacted us. He's supposed to come to Hiiragi's on Sunday.
Does, Alice know?
I don't know...
I asked her, but she says she shouldn't come...
because she's not Molkuren.
Really?
Rin?
Is there something you're not telling me?
There sure is.
So, what about it?
Umm, I heard from Issei that you found Shion.
Yeah. Just recently.
But you're not coming to our meetings anymore, right?
I'll introduce you.
Not at the meeting. Just the two of you.
W-Why?!
Just because.
Mr. Tamura, there's a call for you.
Hey, you're sounding just like the godfather these days!
Yakushimaru! Are you in Tokyo?
I was just about to call you!
I want to talk to you about something.
It's been such a long time.
What did you want to talk about?
Your brother has some kind of special power, doesn't he?
You mean ESP?
Yeah, he does. But what about it?
Actually, I can't explain the details.
But I've had some trouble from a person with psychic powers.
He broke three of my ribs with some unseen power.
Is that true?
Yes.
That's intense!
Okay, I'll tell him to come over .
I'll give him a call, just wait a minute.
Come over!? What're you talk-
Mom? ls Mikuro there? Let me talk to him.
Mikuro? Yeah, I'm in Tokyo.
Come over here, okay?
What? C'mon, we'll treat you to a nice dinner, okay?
Hey, you didn't tell him where to meet us.
Don't worry, he'll find us.
It's no problem for him.
But, he's in Kyoto.
Look, he's already here.
What's up?
This kid... How old is he?
About eight or nine. He's probably in elementary school.
So, Mikuro.
Can you do that too?
Break bones and fly through the air?
I think it's possible.
But, I think you shouldn't get involved in this.
Why not?
That's what Mr. Tamura's dead brother is saying.
He's right there next to Mr. Tamura.
What!? There you go again!
Goosebumps! Why do you have to be so creepy!?
Can't you put it in a nicer way?
Anyway, Mr. Tamura's brother has told me...
everything that's happened since he met that kid.
This kid has a strong psyche.
He controls some strong negative forces.
You'd be safer to stay away from him.
That won't do. There's no telling what--
Who is Haruhiko?
Your brother wants me to ask you.
Does he also have psychic powers?
Yes. He's a friend. He's sixteen years old.
Did something strange happen to him recently?
For a moment, Haru's crying face looked like another person.
Wow! A synchronous vision.
That was a spirit. The person Mr. Tamura saw is probably dead.
But his influence is still strong.
That's why you saw both faces.
Anything else?
Haru...teleported.
I grabbed his shoulders, and then he just disappeared.
I was left just holding air.
Did I say something strange?
That's incredible.
Why?
Usually, if you are in bodily contact with someone that teleports...
you will get pulled into the teleportation.
We're dealing with something really different.
Are you sure that...
he's human?
He's back. Mr. Tamura!
The boss has something important to discuss with you.
She's Alice Sakaguchi. Mokuren.
You met her before.
At the department store.
Shion, I can't do it!
I can't lie to her, again.
Don' t make me angry.
You were talking about what a nice life you've had.
Don't you care? She loved you.
With all her heart.
That's enough of that nonsense.
I didn't call you here to talk about that.
I want to know your key word.
Do you remember it?
Seeking paradise in a dream.
There's no mistake, right?
This is wonderful!
I now have two of the key words!
Shion!
You will use them and Tokyo Tower...
to destroy the moon base, won't you?
You didn't lie to me?
Probably not.
Haruhiko, last night your father told me that...
Mr. Tamura will be moving to Kyoto.
Mr. Matsudaira's son is transferring to a school in Kyoto.
Mr. Tamura has to go with him.
W-Why!!
He has no choice.
Haruhiko, let's say goodbye to him with a smile.
Haruhiko!
Yes, it's been decided. Ayako!
Are you listening?
Stop crying. I'll see you tomorrow.
Mr. Tamura?
Is it true? Are you going to Kyoto?
Yes Haru, I am.
But I'll be back soon.
Really?
Haru, did you notice that I am not surprised?
Even though you just appeared out of nowhere.
It's called "ESP," right?
You have psychic powers.
And I have some kind of connection with you.
That time I went into your room...
I saw space, the Earth, and a different Haru.
I met your alter ego.
Haru, I'll come back stronger than I am now.
So Haru, you must have courage.
Mr. Tamura!
He's such a good-
I want to become stronger too!
Mokuren!
Sarjalim.
Please...
Please let her know...
just how lonely Shion has been.
My penance is just beginning.
Hajime? Did you say something?
I didn't say a word.
Oh.
Was it you?
Sir, we're off.
Take care.
Haru! You better write!
BRING ME BACK A PRESENT! I LOVE YATSUHASHI CRACKERS.
That...
damned brat!
Rin!
I'll give you back your freedom.
But in return, you have to try to believe you are Mokuren.
That means "S" is on his way over here.
So it seems.
How would you like to die?
How would you like to be killed?
