We won't make it in time.
It's all over.
Let us pray to God.
Looks like we'll have to do it ourselves.
Since both of you've hung up, the Valkyria probably won't be able to detect you.
Be on your guard, though.
Neko.
What One Protects
Neko, ya can open your eyes now.
I'm sorry, Murakami-kun.
But we're the only ones who should risk our life tonight.
Take it easy and sleep tight.
We'll save Kotori.
Kotori-chan's there, under the light...
Yeah, looks like it's comin' from below the vacation house.
Ain Soph Aur.
A mechanism to reset the life of this planet, put in place by its extraterrestrial creators.
It wouldn't be a stretch to call these extraterrestrial lifeforms the God of this planet.
The Council's goal was to revive them and create a new breed of humanity to rule the planet.
To rip the current gods from their throne and take their place.
The witches were created as tools to that end.
N-No way...
Personally, I do not share their vision.
I have no use for the waste products of a failed attempt to revive Rena.
However, this Grani is a vital piece in my quest to find a way to revive her.
So this is just another one of your experiments on us magicians, isn't it?
Naturally.
I won't let you get away with this!
Are you going to eject your own harness?
If I can protect my friends, my life is a small price to pay.
When I melt, both that light and the drasil should disappear with me.
Don't bother.
Self-sacrifice is the work of the foolish.
Is doing something for another such a strange idea to you?
If it means the people I love can continue to smile tomorrow,
I don't care if I'm seen as stupid or foolish.
No...
Ain Soph Aur is receding?
Something must have happened with number 1107.
Then...
We can't let this chance go!
Kotori...
Kotori!
Man, it's like a maze in here!
What, you again?!
Where's Kotori-chan?
Number 1107 is dead.
No way!
Tell us the truth!
He is.
She ejected her own harness.
Kotori-chan did?
Apparently she wished to impede my research,
but she died in vain.
She died for nothin'?!
You'll be the next to go.
Not all life is equal. There is an order to things.
After all the time I've spent with Chisato, I've come to understand.
Neko, come with us.
Why're ya so hung up on Neko?!
I won't join your side.
Please understand, I want to save you.
Neko!
Neko, are you okay?
I don't think you should be worrying about others right now.
I have no intention of sparing you.
Why am I so hung up on Neko, you ask?
Why wouldn't I be?
She's my little sister.
Damn it, I don't have a clue which way to go!
Nanami?
Ichijiku is probably this way.
How did you know that?
The man who was in charge of me had come here before.
Go, hurry.
All right!
Here...
Kotori!
Hang in there, Kotori!
Murakami... san?
What happened to you?
I ejected my harness.
You idiot! Why are you laughing?!
B-But...
This is what I had to do to save everyone.
Even if the rest of us survive, it's meaningless if you don't!
That's not true.
The days I spent with you were immeasurably happy.
I was happier than every single other being on the planet.
There's not a shred of sadness in me right now.
Kotori...
Murakami-san.
I have one last request for you.
Please stop my brother, Ichijiku Chisato.
Everything he's done has been in an attempt to bring me back to life.
What are you talking about, Kotori?
"Don't cause anyone any more sadness."
Please pass that on to my brother.
Thank you for everything.
Murakami-san...
Please continue to protect us all.
Kotori?
Kotori!
I wonder when the consciousness of Ichijiku's sister merged with her own.
You don't have the time to stand here crying.
I know.
What on earth was that light?
Quite the intriguing phenomenon.
Oh, the analysis is done.
This could be a true-to-life miracle!
Ryouta!
Kazumi!
Oh, it's you, Murakami.
Ya sure look funny.
Nobody wants to see ya like that.
How did this happen?
The Valkyria got me good.
She and Ichijiku make a deadly combo.
Stop sittin' around and go save Neko.
But...
You can leave me here.
Ya understand, right?
Kazumi...
Oh, cut your sobbin'.
It's all down to you now.
Who's gonna do it if you don't?
Now, go!
Go, Murakami!
I'll be back for you.
I guess I never managed to confess.
I wanted to have Murakami's kids...
Man, I can't believe I'm gonna die a virgin.
I did get to fall in love, though...
Guess my life wasn't all bad...
Kazumi!
Neko's going to be next!
Please, press the top button on my harness!
It's straight ahead from here.
I can help you no longer.
Got it. Thanks, Nanami.
No need to thank me.
Just survive, Murakami.
Okay!
I don't have it in me to kill my sister.
But Chisato's word is absolute.
After all...
This is bad! If this keeps up, the Valkyria...
Chief, don't do it!
If you go inside, the radiation will kill you within a minute!
That day,
Chisato's life became more important than my own.
Valkyria.
Chisato...
I thought I told you to dispose of all of them.
What you're holding is nothing but a failed experiment.
It doesn't deserve to live.
B-But...
Enough. Put her down. I'll eject her harness myself.
Neko, I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
Just shut up!
You're the one who doesn't deserve to live!
After playing with others' lives as if they were nothing,
it's you who doesn't deserve to live!
Especially after what you've done to Kazumi and Kotori!
Kazumi-chan and Kotori-chan?
I will never forgive you!
I don't need forgiveness.
I've killed countless humans along my way.
All for your sister?
How do you know about my sister?
Your sister's soul was inside Kotori.
These were her last words:
"Don't cause...
Don't cause anyone any more sadness.
She asked me to pass the message on to her brother.
I see. So I've succeeded!
Why are you laughing?
Your sister finally came back to life, and now she's dead again!
Rena's brain matter is still well preserved.
I just need to repeat the process.
Why you!
I can't move...
...my body...
Murakami-kun!
Kuroha...
I won't let you lay another finger on Chisato.
Open your eyes, Valkyria!
All Ichijiku cares about is bringing his sister back to life!
He's just using you!
Is that true, Chisato?
It is.
I love it when you do that.
No good. These two are beyond saving.
Come to think of it, why are you still alive?
Your impertinence will not go unpunished.
Murakami-kun!
You're going to be punished, too.
Be quiet and watch him suffer in his last moments.
Stop!
The way to release the seal...
I...
...will protect Murakami-kun!
Don't do it!
Stop, Kuroha!
What a fool. You'll just melt and die.
Murakami... kun!
I will protect Neko!
On that day, I made a vow.
A vow to protect Neko with my forecasting powers.
In exchange for gaining the ability to move, I've lost my ability to forecast.
In exchange for my life, Neko will live!
Kana-chan...
Stop, Kuroha...
Thank you...
Both of you...
Neko!
Kuroha!
She's awoken!
What? My magic...
I really could've done with some rehab...
Ryouta!
Are you okay, Ryouta?
"Ryouta"?
Kuroneko?
Yeah!
Wait... your memories!
Are your memories back?
Yeah, I remember now.
Everything, including the days we played together.
We meet again, Ryouta!
There was so much I wanted to say to you, Kuroneko...
Sorry.
I'm sorry I grabbed your hand.
It's okay. I'm sorry too.
I should have hung on tighter.
You!
Don't worry.
This time, I won't let you down.
Everything will be fine, Chisato.
I'm on your side.
I remember now, Onee-chan.
You and I are two sides of the same coin.
But I won't lose to you!
I have more to protect than you do!
Neko!
Kuroneko, hang in there!
I won't lose!
Nothing stands in Chisato's way!
Not even my sister!
I can't use my magic...
Don't tell me...
Ichijiku is covering the Valkyria...
I can't keep the magic cancellation up for much longer...
Hurry!
Kill the Valkyria, fast!
Chisato...
I can't do it any longer...
We failed.
We didn't make it.
I can't believe Ichijiku sacrificed himself to save her.
Chisato!
Why did you save me?
Why?!
Human hearts are foolish things...
They act not with logic, but with sentiment...
This is why I hate humans...
Chisato...
Chisato?
Chisato!
He's dead! Chisato's dead!
A world without Chisato is a world I might as well destroy!
This is bad! She's using antimatter!
Antimatter?
She can create antimatter?
Once created, antimatter cannot be destroyed except by its deadly annihilation.
Then...
The entire area will be blown to bits!
Kuroneko?
Leave it all to me.
What are you talking about?
It's okay. I can destroy antimatter.
How?!
With a micro black hole.
Micro black hole?
I've always wanted to do this when I grew up.
I love you, Ryouta.
I always have, and I always will.
Ryouta, thank you.
You never forgot about me.
Huh?
Kuroneko!
Kuroneko...
I just wanted Chisato to be happy...
I just wanted to be with him...
Onee-chan.
Let's end this.
I'm going with you.
Neko, do you want to die?
Onee-chan, you and I are one.
My cute, stupid little sister.
Kuroneko...
Kuroneko!
I won't let go, even if it kills me.
Kuroneko!
Hang in there, Kuroneko!
Thank goodness. It's all over now.
Do you feel okay?
Are you hurt?
E-Excuse me...
Can I ask you something?
Sure, what is it?
Who...
...are you?
Hello? It's Kogorou.
Ryouta, there's been an incredible development in the synthesis of the drug.
Have everyone come here as soon as you get this message.
Got it?
I'll be waiting for you.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
kagayaku hoshi miagete
We've always admired
itsumo akogareteta na
the shining stars we gazed upon.
ashita wo yume minagara
And dreaming of tomorrow,
koi wo shite mitari
we played games of affection.

While I begged for something that wasn't there,
shiawase wa hito sorezore to
you taught me that happiness

was different for everyone.

That's why I like you so much.

Now, I'm enraptured

by the first star of the night

so I make a wish:
douka kimi to itsumo issho ni ireru you ni
"May I get to be with you forever."

Now, I've come to understand

that loving can be rough,

but hard as things can get, love itself is

a very warm thing.
It's the Summer Triangle!
