Let's live our lives heroically Let's live them with style
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart
Take my revolution
In the sunlit garden, we both joined our hands
Drawing close for comfort, we both swore
Never again would we ever fall in love
I see that photo of us smiling, standing cheek to cheek
I look at it and a bit of loneliness starts to fill me
Even if I dream, even if I cry, even if I get hurt
Reality keeps on coming recklessly
I wanna find out where I am, the value of being me
Gonna take who I've been up till now
And find the strength to throw it all away
Strip down to nothing at all
Become like a rose petal blowing free!
Even if the two of us are ever torn apart
I swear that I will change the world
We need to defeat Utena Tenjo...
and engage the Rose Bride to someone else as soon as possible.
Isn't Utena Tenjo the golden goose?
The value of the golden goose lies in the golden eggs it lays.
You're a selfish man. So, which pawns will you use?
Miki's Nest Box: The Sunlit Garden (Arrangement)
Kozue!
Oh, my goodness!
Just forget about it! Use both hands to hang on!
You're gonna fall!
Kozue!
Miki...
Boy, she really caused some excitement.
But I wonder why she did it in the first place.
It happened when she heard...
they're cutting the tree down after school today.
She suddenly jumped out the window to save a nest full of baby birds!
That's the thing about Kozue. She's usually so cool...
then once in a while, she does something weird like this.
It's really humid out. Could you not lean so hard?
It's more comfortable for me.
You shouldn't have been so reckless.
Your brother really worries about you, you know.
Aw, are you worried about me, Big Brother?
I said don't lean so hard!
I'll just leave your bags here.
Sorry about this.
Having you carry our bags like that.
What about your little friends?
Now that we have them home, what do we do with them?
Why don't we start by feeding them some ground millet?
Millet?
It's what you feed parakeets and Java sparrows.
Oh, that stuff!
Soak it in lukewarm water and then grind it up.
Right.
Since they're chicks...
you'll need to feed them every three hours during the day.
Right. Wow, that's a lot of work.
Yes, quite a lot.
That's unusually straightforward for her.
Have you raised chicks before, Miss Himemiya?
- Never. - Huh? But you know so much.
You're a real animal lover, aren't you?
You really should return them to their mother, but...
Oh, can you stand on your own?
Thank you. But seeing how we brought you all this way...
the sweet little sister will now politely disappear.
Enjoy yourselves.
- Is this letter from that person? - Yeah.
You read it now.
It's from our mother.
Boy, I'm jealous. A letter from your mom.
I don't have parents, so I envy things like that.
We don't need parents. We're wild animals after all.
Don't talk like that.
Father and Mother always worry about us so much.
Oh, no. Brother has turned so serious!
Hey, do you think this is the garden?
Hmm? What do you mean?
The sunlit garden.
You know, from the title of Miki's song.
Perhaps. But that garden existed in his mind, right?
Miki said he and Kozue...
played the piano together when they were little.
He told us that.
Yes, that's true.
Was it in this garden?
It's all gone to seed.
It's just a memory now.
Maybe you're right, but I was expecting something more...
Expecting more what?
Who knows?
What did she mean?
Even I don't know.
What do you think of her?
In what way?
What do you think of her?
- Tell me! - The tea-cup broke.
Akio-o-o? You in here?
Yes, over here! What's up?
Oh, it's nothing important, but...
Am I interrupting some private brother-sister thing?
Interrupting?
I consider the three of us to be practically family.
You can be as open as you like here.
Practically family, huh?
I'm sorry.
My brother didn't really ask your opinion on that, did he?
No, it's not like that.
I don't have any family, so it made me happy.
I mean it.
Akio seems so tolerant about everything.
Yes, my brother is like that. Maybe because he's an adult.
He's more like my father.
A father...
Do you think fathers and mothers...
always care about their children like Miki said?
That's probably due to genetics.
That's a harsh way to put it.
Forgive me.
You don't have to apologize.
It seems another letter has arrived from End of the World.
Saionji hated the duels, but he fought again anyway.
Could there be a connection?
It's Touga's behavior which concerns me.
What about my brother?
"Defeat Utena Tenjo for the good of you Duelists," huh?
I don't like it!
Adults who tell you that something is "for your own good..."
can never be trusted!
You're saying you don't trust End of the World.
Take it as you will.
If dueling means letting some selfish adult use me...
then I won't do it!
It's too soon for any decisions like that.
End of the World's true identity remains a mystery.
Exactly!
He may be a nice "Daddy Long Legs" for all we know!
Nanami, hurry up and let me have a chance in that thing.
No-o-o-o...
Yes, it was in Mother's letter.
No, Kozue and I aren't against it.
Father, that's up to you.
We won't be able to make the wedding...
but we'll at least send a telegram.
Huh? With who?
No, never mind about our new mother.
Never mind about it.
Father?
Never mind. It'd be rude to start calling myself Mother so soon.
Well, well.
Oh, hi.
What are you doing? I heard you were hurt.
Wild animals heal quickly.
Okay, but only student council members...
are allowed out of their dorms at night.
I'm waiting for someone.
Who are you waiting for at this hour?
Daddy Long Legs.
Want me to introduce you to him?
No, thank you.
The sun's almost up.
How long do you intend to stay here?
The school festival's soon. I'm getting my fingers ready.
Is something bothering you?
No, nothing in particular.
I heard you've given up being a Duelist.
Yes.
However, you've already chosen the path of the Duelist once.
You know that there are things...
which you can only possess by taking them, don't you?
Ah, an impasse.
Jury said you've been acting suspiciously lately.
A beautiful tone.
But beauty alone cannot preserve beauty forever.
What's this?
We've hit the wall already?
What are you trying to say?
There's someone I want you to meet.
Someone I should meet?
There... Can't you hear it?
Hear what?
If your soul has not truly given up...
then you can hear the sound...
that races through the End of the World!
What are you talking about?
I hear it...
I'm sure I hear it!
What is it?!
Come! Come with us!
Follow us to the world you seek!
That's the chairman, isn't it?
Yes. Anthy Himemiya's brother.
What are you doing here?
I'm on a date with Akio, of course.
Well, do as you like.
Anyway, what do you want with me, Mr. Chairman?
You love Himemiya, don't you?
Hey...!
What's the big deal? Don't be embarrassed.
If she's important to you, make her yours.
Akio says he'll help you.
He's really something.
I thought you hated Miss Himemiya.
I just want you to be happy, Miki.
What's brought this on?
I'm always completely honest with my feelings.
I never lie.
You don't trust me?
It's not that, but...
Akio said it's for your own good.
But... he's an adult.
So what?
When everything around you is impure...
you'll have to become impure as well.
The only way to get what you want is to lose your purity.
To get what I want...
You were the one who got Saionji to duel, weren't you?
You seduced Touga...
and have been interfering with the student council!
Just who are you?!
Let me show you the End of the World.
To you now, as well.
I see! You're--
Whoa! Not so rough, okay?
Sorry. Is it crooked?
Uh-uh, it's fine. Set it here.
Hi, guys.
Making a nest box?
I wonder if their parents will come back.
What's wrong?
Meet me after school. In the Dueling Arena.
Oh, no...
Do you know? Do you know? Have you heard the news?
Miss, isn't it about time you quit?
Ooh... I'm betting my whole purse! Everything on black!
Very well.
Oh, too bad! It was red!
Miss, didn't you say you'd...
never gambled before and that you hated it?
It's your fault for making me give it a try!
Hold on! I'm gonna clean out my bank account!
Sucker...

A child's sword, huh?
I wonder what made Miki suddenly want to duel me.
Who knows?
- But, Miki is more... - More...what?
What's with you?!
Coward!

Hey, Himemiya...
do you have any problems you just can't tell anyone about?
Fried eggs, sushi eggs, hard boiled eggs...
Everyone has some embarrassing secret they can't tell anyone.
Scrambled eggs, omelettes...
Gee, I wonder what's bothering Nanami.
If we don't break the egg's shell, the omelette will never be made.
Next time, on Revolutionary Girl Utena:
