The white darkness started shining intensely
Become the wings that cut through the white darkness
Illuminated by the cold sun
I was given a tamed freedom
In the miraculous night reflected in the mirror
My soul began to remove its mask
Break through the darkness that is painted white
Keep engraving a new era
As the heart you released desires
Fly in the white night that continues endlessly
I'll have you terminated after all.
Daisuke Niwa...
By the power of this, the Second Hand of Time.
An Icy Voice Calling
Hey, guys! Thanks for coming on the weekend.
So let's start practicing!
That's gross!
I'm begging you! Please take off those clothes!
What's up with you guys?! You lack motivation!
Mio...
Why did you transfer to another school at such an important time?
No, I know!
Your feelings for me must have been so deep that you couldn't study!
Oh, it's all my fault.
He's at it again.
Daisuke!
So I'll surely continue to work on your dream!
So, let's work on Freedert and Elliott's dazzling love scene!
Is this the look you wanted?
That voice... Is that you, Hiwatari?
He looks like the real Dark! That voice... Is that you, Hiwatari?
He looks like the real Dark!
Hiwatari! Why are you dressed like that?
When you say "a romantic man," of course it'd be Dark, right?
We made the costume with that in mind, and it fits him so well!
I almost cried!
Right, right? You think so too, right, Risa?
Oh, yeah...
All right! Then shall we start practicing?
Okay!
Risa...
Are you all right?
Riku...
Riku... I...
I want to see Mr. Dark again.
No, it's not that I'd like to go on a date or anything like that.
Nothing like that, but...
I think that there must be something that I can do for him.
I'd like to do something for the person that I care about.
You understand this feeling too, don't you, Riku?
Risa...
Shall we go back?
Sure.
Niwa and Hiwatari's love scene is getting close.
What are you going to do?
Hiwatari might take Niwa away.
Now, look here...
Hiwatari...
What happened to practice?
Canceled because Niwa has a cold.
Niwa has a cold...
What? Where is this?
A dream? But that was...
What was that dream about?
Great! You've finished it.
Miss Riku...
Yes, who is it?
You're...
What causes you to drop by?
I heard that he has a cold.
My, thank you. But Daisuke is now...
Oh, hello. My, thank you. But Daisuke is now...
Oh, hello.
You came to see how Daisuke's doing?
You're Satoshi Hiwatari, right?
Come on in. Please go and see Daisuke.
Hiwatari!
Well, I'm sorry that I couldn't come to practice today.
That doesn't matter.
Mio Hio moved out of town.
What? That's sudden.
She called me unexpectedly yesterday.
I wonder if something happened?
This isn't the time for you to worry about others!
Are you all right?
You're overreacting, Hiwatari. It's only a cold.
I don't care about your cold!
You don't care?
Has anything unusual happened?
Anything unusual?
You'd better be careful.
Something has started happening.
I can feel it.
What is this something, Hiwatari?
Niwa, are you awake?
Miss Riku...
Hiwatari, you were here?
Yeah, he just dropped in to see me, right?
Again, be careful.
Did I come at a bad time?
No, not at all!
I heard that you had a cold, so...
Is it okay for you to be out of bed?
Yeah.
Is it really okay?
Yeah.
Oh, are you leaving already?
Your eyes are gazing into the darkness, aren't they?
Are they your own eyes?
Or is your other half doing it?
I'm not originally from the Niwa family,
and I may not be in a position to say anything about the feud between the two families,
but I think that there are truths that I am able to see because of that.
Gaze at the light, just like your real name.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, sorry.
You can take it as a lecture by a nosy adult.
But I can't stand to see children like you two suffering.
Daisuke also has his own concerns, just like you do.
I think it'd be great if Daisuke could become close friends with you.
Regardless of your pasts, it has nothing to do with you two now.
That's what I'd like to think.
You are...
The Second Hand of Time...
It's sealed, just as I suspected.
This place is...
Hey, Daisuke!
What's the matter? Snap out of it!
This is...
What the heck is this place?
What is underneath here?
Freedert?
I have a bad feeling about this.
What's going on? The magic power suddenly...
This isn't good.
Hey, Daisuke! Wake up already!
So she's the one who was manipulating Daisuke.
You're Dark's familiar.
Niwa is in there?
Give me your time.
Daisuke!
What amazing magic power...
Hey, Daisuke!
Daisuke, wait!
Daisuke!
Don't go!
Daisuke!
There has to be a door somewhere.
The Second Hand of Time! Niwa!
Are you all right, Niwa?
If you are talking to Daisuke, he's not here anymore.
What happened to Niwa?
He was taken away by this thing.
To think the seal on the Second Hand of Time would be broken...
Didn't you feel anything?!
Sorry, but I don't have time to chat with you.
Later.
Niwa...
Niwa?
It couldn't have been.
Dai was taken away, you said?!
By a woman named Freedert or something like that.
Oh, no...
I've been concerned since I heard that
Daisuke's class was putting on the play "Ice and Snow" for the cultural festival.
Freedert is the role that Dai is going to play, right?
Well, since Dark saw her, she actually exists.
In any case, this is too much to be a coincidence.
It seems like someone is pulling the strings behind this.
Anyway, what I don't get is the work of art
called the Second Hand of Time or something like that.
The Second Hand of Time?
That's what Mr. Chief Commander was calling it.
Well, I don't care about the name.
The question is why an artwork that was supposed to have been sealed awoke.
This is my speculation,
but what if Freedert's mind lived in the Second Hand of Time?
It's possible that something caused a resonance between Freedert and Daisuke,
which may have invoked the magic power.
Resonance? Come to think of it...
I know this scenery.
In a night where no one's around,
the snowfield with blue shadows is just there.
In a space that seems frozen in time,
the snow keeps falling slowly and silently.
That's it!
The painting that Daisuke drew
became the cue to release the magic power of the Second Hand of Time!
Where is that painting? I'll go and get it right away!
It's not in this house.
It's not?!
Daisuke left it with Riku.
Don't look so down!
Things'll be fine if I get it back, right?
Since the target is Daisuke's amateur painting,
it's not really good enough to merit my stealing it, but...
When she's like this, she's cute.
The magic power has gotten stronger.
It seems to be very suitable as a new medium.
Who's there?
You can't! Don't take it!
Let it go, Riku! I don't have time for this!
Just this one... Never!
Riku, what's the matter?
Mr. Dark...
Quit fighting and give it to me!
No! It's a painting by the person I care the most about!
Stop it, Mr. Dark!
You can understand, right?
What is this?
Not good! This light is...
No!
That person you care the most about is in trouble!
Can't be helped!
Hold on tight!
With!
Someone has come.
Were you also feeling loneliness then?
Thinking how insignificant I am to you, I can't sleep again tonight
If I could at least see you in my dreams
But no one grants a wish like that
Without even knowing the way to tell you
It's another day that I'm no closer to you
Next Stage
Where are you, Daisuke?
From the closed, icy world, call my name!
You are... You are my other half!
"Ice and Snow"
