Ever since that day, I've had the dream again and again.
Fear that can't be wiped away.
A repeated sense of unease.
Days of regret and repentance that go on forever.
Even now, I can't stop shivering.
I stand stock still.
Then, as I endure it, I wake up.
As always, without any answers.
I'm in a bad dream today, too.
I was dreaming.
Of my peaceful past.
Of days of contentment.
Of warm memories.
The rememberances are more vivid than when I lived through them.
I won't tolerate forgetfulness.
I don't have to wake up to understand.
That this is just hopeless reality.
The solitude we wanted to understand of one another, courage, joy...
Hatred and sorrow that are hard to break away from...
What can I do to face the reality that's closing in on me?
Welcome home! This is the last stop of your life!
Do you know where you are...
...newbie corpse?
Hmph. You're alive after all. Don't try to deceive me!
I'm dead.
BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT
What the heck can I do?
That's some fog, right, Guevara-san?
Indeed!
You can't see a thing, can you, Guevara-san?
Indeed!
Is this the "Second Collapse"...
...advertised by the boy calling himself "the King of Despair", Guevara-san?
Indeed!
How long are you going to stand around smoking?
Aren't we supposed to look for Leo-kun? Let's get a move on!
Klaus!
I got a report from Leo.
He's waiting for the arrival of the wizards to start repairing the destroyed fields.
And we got an official request...
...to cooperate with the investigation of the lost last one.
It's already been three years...
Or it's only been three years...
Either way, it's a reunion with the white darkness.
Yahoo!
Hey, hey, hey, what's goin' on?
It's like three years ago all over again!
- Shut up. - You're being inconsiderate, Deldro.
Still, I hope Leo's okay.
I saw the footage too...
...and in all probability, he's with the enemy.
I hate to think what'll happen when he's no longer of use.
No, he's fine.
Look around. The gravity hasn't changed yet.
Three years ago, the whole city was in chaos with that "eternal hole" just overhead.
- The force field is still... - It isn't destroyed.
The cause is probably the last one.
We believe it's Mary Macbeth.
The supposition is that it's inside her.
Is that even possible?
The wizards who made the field are from an infinite variety of schools, each with their own power.
It's possible that one method wove life force itself into the field.
Although that is forbidden.
I believe that during the Collapse, Mary and her parents were caught up in something...
...and she's been living for the past three years fused to the force field.
If it's true, that girl is something we haven't seen before...
..."a force field with a will".
It's quiet.
Too quiet.
Took advantage of the fog to stop me?
Ghost...
I can't let the brat search...
Dammit...
I'm sleepy...
If the King of Despair is using the Eyes of the Gods to find the field...
...then he won't kill the brat, right?
Anyway, without Leonard here, we're wasting time.
We must find him!
- Right. - Yes, sir. - Yeah.
Come on, get up!
This is no time to be dead, kiddo.
Who the heck are you?
Under these circumstances, does it really matter who I am?
After all, you can't see me, right?
I passed it off as "random terrorism."
Since it was just graveyard vandalism.
No idea what you mean.
- Are you an acquaintance of Black? - Black?
Oh, the vessel...
No.
I just know what's inside of him.
You've become worn out since the last time I saw you.
Can you save the world when you've become a wuss like this?
Leonard Watch.
"First, we're going to destroy the world."
BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT
Heads? Tails?
It's a game.
It looks like you've got tons of questions you wanna ask.
So if you win, I'll answer all of them.
If you lose...
...you'll stay here forever?
- What's that look of relief for? This is supposed to be a bet! - I'm not relieved!
I thought maybe you'd kill me if I lost, so I was just kind of surprised...
Why would I do that?
You're already gonna die, so why do I have to get my hands dirty?
Reflect on that. Jeez.
Right...
For some reason, this horrendous sense of deja vu is way too familiar!
Well, the result is either dying in here or dying out there.
It's one or the other.
So choose, boy.
Which one will it be?
Aren't you worried about Leo-kun?
Why do I gotta worry about that slit-eyed pube-head?
After all, he's an average person.
He's just an ordinary boy with special eyes.
Stephan...
Squint.
There's a light.
I...
What'd you do that for?
You got the wrong idea about me!
We're Libra!
You know what that means?
No matter what happens, we're prepared for it!
Have we had this conversation before?
I don't remember...
Yeah. You know, Klaus, when I think about what happened three years ago, I get depressed.
But I don't think today is the same thing as that day.
It's been three years since the Collapse.
And we've been studying diligently every day since then.
You're here? You come to eat my sweets or something?
Nope.
I'm just here to see you.
You let the kid escape, didn't you?
He declined to play our games.
- Your game... - Yours, too.
Even if he had questions, they weren't for me.
He said, "I can't afford to stay here forever, so I'm not playing your game."
- That's ordinary. - It is ordinary!
You should have just left him here.
But that would've been boring, right?
For you.
For you, too.
What are you daydreaming about this time?
K.K....
I guess that's what happens when you get older.
I know where the video was shot.
The cemetery at St. Arianad Central Hospital.
Hey! What are you doin' dog-breath?
Even though you're going on about being prepared, you were totally unprepared for that.
Stupid monkey.
Get your ass down here!
Was I relieved?
I'm sorry, Klaus-san.
I can't see the light well...
Three years ago too, I encountered the Collapse right here.
It was beautiful.
It was a sight that overturned all emotions, values, and notions that make a person who they are.
There was a sense of exaltation that confirmed there was hope ahead.
I saw a dream.
We were unlucky. Me, them, those two in the city...
"The Fallen." "Blue." "The Devil." "The King of Despair."
You have many names, "Watchman."
You've been a spectator ever since Rome, but have stayed here since the Collapse.
If you're gonna do it, have fun.
You need more "nonsense."
Huh?
See, he's pretty brazen when it comes to stuff like that.
As long as he's not dead, I'm sure he's alive.
You say I don't have enough "nonsense?"
Go to hell.
Our very existences are absurd.
What is this?
Enemy attack?
- I don't know! But I think we're all in trouble! - Is it an enemy attack?
This is all just a game after all.
What is that?
- Where are they from? - There's no end!
What should we do, Klaus?
Notify all members.
On top of securing Leonard, they're to exterminate the ghouls!
What is that? It's definitely not cute.
You don't get it, Aligula-chan.
Zombies are a must for the entertainment!
I'm sure they're just time-killing by-products.
Of course!
The living needs a sideshow!
Yay!
- Gilbert. - Sensei!
This is bad!
I'm sure William-kun...
I mean that king? Is behind this!
With this going on, he'll die before Klaus-san even leaves!
Jeez, should I, you know... go myself?
As a teleporter!
- What good could you do? - I would just go! After all, I'm a teleporter!
Never mind!
Let Klaus take care of Will.
We will do the best we can right here.
I'm counting on you, Klaus.
A world in which a child calls himself the King of Despair is just too sad.
What is that?
I haven't heard about anything like this before.
Sonic?
You surprised me.
Huh?
You found me? Thank...
Please. Help Leo...
He should be at the Central Hospital cemetery...
That's White...
Please... don't let Leo die!
You should've delivered this to Klaus-san and the others.
But I couldn't stand being hospitalized again.
Sorry, Sonic.
Hold on to that a while longer.
I've got somewhere to go.
The fields are stable! We've got the last one.
As soon as it's fixed, we can link them all together... so...! ...do your best, Sensei!
...just one more! Only one more!
There he is!
Leonard!
One thing right after another.
Sheesh, we're running around aimlessly.
Abrahms-san...
We've been looking for you.
The important thing is you're safe. We've been looking for you.
The important thing is you're safe.
- Yeah... - This may surprise you, but listen up.
Your girlfriend isn't human.
She's the force field, right?
You knew?
Then that saves us time.
She's probably the one who's keeping the lid on this situation.
But we don't know how long that lid will last.
Before it pops up...
I have to find White, right?
It's okay. I can do it!
- Idiot! - Protect the Eyes... - ...with my life!
Yoo-hoo!
Hammer-san?
I heard! You're going to the force field, right?
Where is it?
- I think it's at the top of that. - That far, huh?
I'll help you!
- Full Power Hammer Throw! - FULL POWER HAMMER THROW
- Chain-san? - You look well.
Good.
Maybe you were worried about...
Uh-oh...
I'm fine, because I can disappear, but...
- I'm glad I was able to see you at the end. - What are you saying?
Yes. I've confirmed that Leo is alive.
Wind Knitting!
Leo-kun!
- Are you all right? - Thank you!
Huh?
Leo... kun!
How moronic. You seriously intend to run?
Through this nightmare of an amusement park? By yourself?
- Forget it. - Too reckless.
But in the Jerusalem's Lot I know, the abnormal is like a normal amusement park.
I'm glad I got to meet all of you.
Because of the last several months...
...I'm able to go forward!
- ANGER ANGER ANGER ANGER - Leo-kun...
That has nothing to do with this.
You're right.
Your plan is simply reckless, and I cannot approve, not even .1 percent.
Good point.
Therefore, this is my judgment as a friend.
You really are a normal boy who thinks for himself.
You're kind, cheerful, and meddling, all in an ordinary way.
You also have a strong sense of justice, consideration for your comrades, and honesty.
Irresponsible, too, I believe,
but that ordinariness, as far as people go, can be called courageous and top-class.
Because of who you are, even running to your friend in the face of danger is normal.
Leo-kun, I'll see you later.
Good luck!
The King of Despair of the Thirteen Kings, I presume.
What's it to you, Klaus V. Reinhertz.
It's our first time meeting like this.
How do you do. Now get lost.
I'm not waiting for you.
I'm not here to see you either.
Where is William Macbeth?
There's always been this kind of human.
There was a movie too, about a kid with psychic powers.
I can understand why they wanted to call it "Shining."
It's a game, hero.
You're supposed to protect me from myself.
With the "hope" you like so much...
BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT
Calls for assistance from A-3, C-1, E-5, and more!
Gotcha! Let's move on to the next place. Next!
Right...
Moving straight ahead reminds me a little of him.
Certainly...
Humans are sad.
They're too innocent and single-minded to be called foolish.
That's probably why I've always been so captivated by you.
I will not give up on myself.
Games are meant to be played on a board.
If that's out of the question here, then I'll just have to put you to sleep.
You used me as a diversion, didn't you?
The Collapse... No, the brat with the Eyes of the Gods?
Why is it necessary to burden yourself with him?
Impudent fellow.
Just as you charged me with before,
I have pride and rules to follow.
"Shining."
As long as you crave the light, you won't be able to kill him.
Perhaps you sought him out exactly because you desire hope?
You... are surprisingly loquacious.
Don't talk like you understand me... human!
Brain Grid blood battle technique.
Let me introduce you!
Save me from myself...
...hero!
Shuffle!
Why now? Now, of all times?
Wait! Time out! Time out!
It's over.
Why the hell did you come here to die?
- Sword of Flame! - SWORD OF FLAME
And then...
...Seven Hells
SEVEN HELLS
Now it's over.
Like hell!
ANGRY COMEBACK
You seriously almost killed me!
Think about controlling your power!
What the hell? You're totally fine.
- Don't make trouble for people, moron. - Who's a moron?
And I'm not fine.
Just before, my eye was... The eye!
Jesus, could you keep it down?
- What should I do? - There's nothin' to do.
Abrahms-san is gonna get mad at me!
Yeah, well...
I have to find my friend!
- Yeah. - But can I do it with one good eye?
- You got no choice, right? - But what if...
Shut up! Do or die or death!
But...!
It's just a tool!
If you don't back down, you'll get through it somehow!
In other words, "never say die..."
That's right.
But you got that thing, so you're Libra too, right?
Don't just stand there, you little shit.
Go, Leo.
The bossman is waiting.
Right!
Scary!
You're really into this, huh?
You came to take him back...
...but I didn't choose him.
He welcomed me.
He looked like you do now.
So have peace of mind.
Even if you die here...
...I'm sure the next you will keep you alive.
I hate that idea!
Even if what you're saying is right...
...to say it's okay for anyone to die then...
...is garbage!
Then what do we do?
Are you really gonna use the eye to kill me?
I don't know.
Maybe I should do that...
...but I still don't know if that's really the right thing to do...
...for me.
So I'll keep thinking, as long as I'm alive.
The next time we meet...
...I'll try to have a better answer for you.
I don't wanna die!
I want to live!
White!
You have to...
...face the light!
As long as you're trying to take one step forward...
...I swear your soul will never be defeated!
The other you hasn't given up yet!
So is it okay for you to give up?
White!
Will...
Hi.
Are you okay?
I could hear a voice...
Yeah.
Was that you?
Could be.
Leo, I...
White.
I...
I know your secret.
So it's all right.
Black wants to live.
You're the only one who can help him now, White.
As long as you face the light and try to take at least one step forward...
...the human soul will never be defeated.
So I've been told.
White, if you're standing frozen...
...petrified before a light that's too strong...
...I'll lead you by the hand again and again.
Leo!
Let's go.
First, we're going to save the world.
I'm sorry, Black!
Joint Field of Vision!
Little shit... My eyes!
Mary Macbeth...
Shut up!
Go to sleep...!
William...
Hi, Black.
Hi, White.
What are you doing?
Verifying whether you're still alive or not.
I see...
Black...
I...
...don't care what happens to the world.
I had gone off the rails before this happened.
They created a flimsy force field, pretending it's safe...
...but I'm sure the same kind of thing will happen again someday.
So it might as well all be destroyed now...
Black.
Don't lie. What happened to my kind, brave big brother?
I don't want to lose you!
The way I am now, I don't have the power to save you!
I'm scared, White.
To me, a world without you is the same thing as no world at all!
What are you talking about?
If I'm gone, of course the world won't disappear with me!
That's dumb.
Live, Black.
Don't so easily reject the world that you're going to live in from now on.
Then I'm sure we'll be able to stay together forever.
Sensei! The last one! I got a response!
I don't have enough power left to repair and stabilize you.
So lend me the power that remains in your body and I'll put up a new force field.
To be honest, I'm not confident that it'll work out well, though...
I'm sure it'll be fine, Will.
Papa and Mama are here, too.
It's because of their love that I've been able to be here these past three years.
Yeah. They're dependable.
I'll see you again, William.
My hope, my future...
T-T-They did it!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
If you'd been just a little later, I was going to have you delivered.
Right. I'm sorry!
That was a joke.
Right... Sorry...
Leonard-kun.
You did splendidly.
You, a lone human, saved them today.
Have confidence in yourself, Leonard Watch.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Um...
Sorry I caused so much trouble, though...
Right!
Are you seeing this, White?
Your knight is a blubbering mess...
...but he's so cool.
No, not cool.
He's... our hero.
Hello, Michella.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm writing this letter to sort things out for myself...
...so I hope you don't get angry at me...
...but hold on to it for my sake.
I feel good, Michella.
This city doesn't have you, but I've survived another day here by relying on your light.
It'll probably be a while longer before I can see you.
But I promise that one day I'll tell you face-to-face...
...about the world that I've seen.
I'll tell you my story and the story of those who gave me hope.
You're our new comrade?
Welcome.
Welcome to Libra.
