I want to go home.
I've never been in a place where the air is so...
polluted.
Listen Alice...
Long ago, the dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
And sixty-five million years ago...
they suddenly became extinct.
And now, the same thing...
is happening to humans.
Like the dinosaurs, humans are growing larger.
So you see...
We are living in an age that has begun to forsake humanity.
Yes, Hajime, but...
I'm getting hungry.
Hey, wait up.
Those... Those dancing footsteps. He's playing rhythmic gymnastics.
He's coming this way!
It's... It's Rin Kobayashi!
Greetings! To the girl from Hokkaido who moved in next door...
Alice, the high school freshman!
Good Evening!
G-Good evening-
Have a piece of gum!
I-I don't want any.
It was you that spit gum into my shoes the other day.
Wasn't it!?
What!?
How could you accuse a seven year old boy...
without any evidence?
You're just like a tax auditor!
Alright then, I'll have a piece.
Really?! Great!
Now, crouch down here.
Open your mouth.
Okay. Ahhhh...
Rin! Dinner time!
Coming!
A perfect 10.0!
That night we had my favorite, boiled tofu.
But I'm so sensitive and had such a shock.
I couldn't eat a single bite.
What's wrong?
What is it, Alice?
Rin played a trick on her again.
Really?
B-Baby sit?
Yes, I'll be back by eight.
My husband is on a business trip and-
Tomorrow my friends are visiting from Setagaya-
I'm going to play golf-
I've got my school club meeting.
Rin was saying how much he wanted to spend time with you.
He's taken such a liking to you, Alice.
No!
Everyone's so thoughtless!
I can't baby sit Rin!
Stop! Stop it, Alice!
You can't blame father for being excited...
about his promotion to the main office.
But, but...
That Hajime! How could he eat three and a half servings of tofu?!
That night, I endured the growling of my empty stomach...
and fell asleep with tears on my pillow.
Let me go! Let me go, you idiot!
Pick up your gum and...
put it in the trash!
Make me!
Throw it away!
You think... You think...
you think you're so prim and proper!
But, you're not a virgin!
W-What... W-What...!?
It's eleven a.m., stupid!
I know all about it.
Fine young ladies are virgins.
And fine young gentleman are chaste.
You just try and deny it!
Idiot!
It's so cute!
Are you afraid?
Then, what's wrong?
I don't know.
I don't know much about animals.
I've only seen pictures of them.
What're you doing!?
Let's go to the zoo!
Fine!
UENO ZOO
That's weird. Why are they gathering around us?
They say they're doing it for you.
Are you saying you can talk to the animals?
No, I just kind of get the feeling that that's what they're doing.
Come to think of it...
In Hokkaido, the same thing...
happened the first time I saw horses.
They gathered around me...
and I started to cry.
Mother and father said there was nothing to be afraid of.
Is there something special about me?
I'm just an ordinary person.
And here at the zoo, the animals gather around me...
and curiously speak to me with their eyes.
Who are you?
What are you? We've never met you before.
How can you sense what we're feeling?
It's like I just told Rin.
When you are happy...
I can just sort of sense that you are happy.
They're selling flower bulbs!
Shall I buy you a crocus bulb as a souvenir?
Yes!
Take good care of it.
Okay, I will.
Are crocus flowers pretty?
Yes, they're very pretty.
Oh, it's Alice!
R-Rin, let's go home! It's getting late!
W-Wait! It's not what you think!
Will you join us for coffee?
I want to explain the misunderstanding.
I... Uh...
I just want you to know that we're not gay!
This is Issei Nishikiori from homeroom three.
Well, from what you saw yesterday...
I can see how you'd misunderstand.
Do you realize what you said?
You said that you weren't...normal.
There they are.
Hello!
We're...
We're not normal, are we?
That's Jinpachi Ogura from my class...
but who's the other guy?
I guess... we're not.
We aren't normal. I was shocked...
but you must have been really shocked.
Issei!
Last night we...
Don't say it!
Issei!
I'm sorry!
I... Uhhh... I just...
I'm sorry!
That's what happened, right?
Well, we're really not normal.
We're not twins or related or anything...
but Issei and I have been having the same dreams.
In the dreams, my name is Gyokuran...
and Issei is called Enju.
Enju is a woman.
Yesterday, you caught us in a strange situation...
because in the previous night's dream...
Gyokuran and Enju slept with each other.
Wha-?
This must sound really idiotic to you.
Ah... No...
I mean... I'd like to hear more about the dreams.
Well, the dreams don't really...
continue from the previous night's dream.
They're very fragmented.
It's like memories are recorded in our brains...
and those memories are replayed at random.
And then we wake up.
And it keeps happening over and over again.
Issei and I had the same home room...
for the last two years of junior high.
Sometimes we would talk about our dreams.
We both had some pretty bizarre and spacey dreams.
When we started high school, we started comparing our dreams...
and discovered that our dreams...
had the same people and conversations.
The setting for our dreams was also the same, the moon.
There is some sort of base or research station on the moon...
with seven scientists.
My alter ego, Gyokuran is one of the scientists...
and so is Issei's alter ego, Enju.
Seven scientists?
Uh-huh.
The seven of us are involved in...
some sort of work observing the Earth.
We gather data on everything from politics to wildlife.
We record and analyze it all.
I'll start by describing Jinpachi's alter ego, Gyokuran.
Unlike Jinpachi, Gyokuran acts like a gentleman.
He is shy and excels at everything he does.
He's an archaeologist.
My counterpart, Enju is...
an introverted paleontologist.
She is secretly in love with Gyokuran.
But Gyokuran is in love with a beautiful woman named Mokuren.
Mokuren?
Yes, Mokuren is a mysterious person.
She is both talented and knowledgeable...
self-controlled and calm, gentle and sincere.
She has a warm feminine personality as well.
Most men that meet her fall in love with her.
She's a renowned biologist.
And then there's Shion.
Shion is a childhood friend of Gyokuran.
He's an engineering genius.
He was a trouble maker as a child.
And even as an adult, his morals are questionable.
But at heart he is sensitive and...
has a strong yet twisted sense of justice.
Hiiragi the linguist is the team leader.
Then there's Shusuran the chemist.
And the medical doctor, Shukaido.
The seven of them observe the Earth.
I get the impression that these people...
feel an attachment towards the Earth.
For them, the Earth is a simpler place that...
reminds them of their home planet in ancient times.
It's kind of like Humanity's nostalgia for the past.
Everyday without fail...
they keep watch over the Earth.
Amazing!
It's so fascinating!
You know... Ever since you transferred to our school...
I had the feeling that we've met before.
Huh?!
Jinpachi! Are you confessing your love for her?
Uh... No! That's not what I meant.
That was a pretty strange story, but it sure was interesting.
Wasn't it, Rin?
Here's your crocus bulb.
Gradually lower the level of water in the jar as the roots grow. Okay?
Ummm, Alice...
Huh?
When I first met you, I had a sense of deja vu too.
I felt like we already knew each other.
Rin, for a seven year old...
sometimes you sound just like an adult.
Are you in love with him?
Are you going to marry him?
What would you do if I said yes?
R-Rin! Be careful!
Alice, watch this!
What do you think you're doing?!
Somebody, help!!
Mother! Mother!
Did you hear?
I sure did! It was in the newspaper.
They called her "Jane Doe," but...
it was really Alice, right?
Shhh!
Good morning.
She looks so mild mannered.
She didn't do it on purpose, did she?
You never know.
I guess not.
Good morning, Alice.
Yes.
G-Good morning.
Did you go home after we met or...
did you continue your date with Issei?
I-I'm such a crybaby.
When I go home I'll make some get-well cookies for Rin.
I'll make a big batch.
I'll take the cookies and flowers and...
go visit Rin at the hospital. But...
Rin's mother probably...
doesn't want to see me.
So I'll just leave them at his door...
so that no one will see me.
Please God. Watch over Rin.
I'll do anything to save Rin.
Please God, let Rin wake up!
God, please save Rin!
We must watch over the Earth from here.
Hello, Tsuwabuki High School.
You want Sakaguchi?
Hello?
Alice, he woke up!
Rin regained consciousness.
Leave school early, and hurry to the hospital.
But... I...
Rin's mother's not angry with you.
She says she wants to apologize.
Everything's okay Alice!
Thank you God.
Alice is here!
He's been this way ever since...
he regained consciousness.
He says it's his premonition game.
Why is she taking the stairs?
She's so dumb. There's an elevator.
Oh!?
She tripped!
Ten meters to go.
Five meters.
Three steps.
Alice!!
Take me to the zoo again, okay?
Rin's voice whispering in my ear...
and the vivid blue sky of the day...
became memories I would never forget...
Never forget.
Alice, did you hear?
Rin's life was miraculously saved...
because the trees cushioned his fall.
Alice, they like you even here in Tokyo.
That's the familiar sound of...
Rin's rhythmic gymnastics ribbon.
But now, I'm no longer intimidated by it!
Rin!
When do you start school?
D-Day after tomorrow.
You're in a good mood today!
Uh-huh!
Then... Then... You agreed?
Huh?
Stay down here a little longer.
It's okay, I'll throw out my gum.
The recycling truck is here.
Bring out your old newspapers and magazines.
My breath wasn't that bad,
I was chewing spearmint gum.
I-I've fallen in love with you, Alice.
See ya later!
What's up with that kid?
I can't figure him out.
Could the accident have had something to do with...
I don't know what I'll do if it did.
Wait a minute, was that... was that...
my FIRST KISS!?
Alice!
Alice, come here after you finish gargling.
I want to talk with you.
What is it?
Okay, I'm not going to beat around the bush.
Are you intending to get engaged to Rin from next door?
Ahhh, I'm fading out...
Alice!
God, this is too horrible!
This is just too much!
Mokuren? Mokuren? Mokuren?
Where am I? What happened?
You slipped on the stairs, and fell down.
I think I'm okay.
Huh? Shion? Is this what I look like?
Are you alright Mokuren?
Maybe you hit your head too hard.
I know what happened!
Listen Shion. While I was passed out...
I dreamt of Earth.
I was a girl in Japan.
I had a family and I was a crybaby.
I was surrounded by nature and...
I could feel the fresh air. I wish...
I was born on Earth.
But...
we must watch over the Earth from here.
Alice! Alice!
Are you okay, Alice?
A-Are you alright, Alice?
Alice, do you remember...
what we were talking about?
Hmm? What was it...?
About getting engaged to Rin from next door!
Engaged? What are you talking about?
I'm already engaged to Shion...
...already engaged.
WaRnInG, MakE FRiEnds witH "S," or eLse!!
Hey!
What's up, Boss?
What's wrong?
There's some brat...
I don't see anything.
Are you seeing things?
Dammit! This sucks!
Watch out! You idiot!
The breaks went out!
Help!!
Afraid?
I'm "S." Let's be friends.
I've got a favor to ask.
Tokyo Tower.
Will you give it to me?
We do have to look for them!
We can put an ad in a magazine like this.
But that sounds scary.
I'm sorry for bumping into you.
That's okay.
Is he your type?
Well, he's kinda cute.
A letter from Hiiragi!!
Yes, and Shusuran is with him.
Incredible, this is incredible!
