Kurau, your mother's sister, Aunt Kline and Uncle Frank.
You'll be staying at their house from now on.
I told you the reason last night, remember?
Yeah.
I can't stay at the laboratory.
Yes.
There are people after your powers.
Kurau, stay healthy.
Obey what your uncle and aunt says.
Dad will follow you later.
Dad!
Dad...
Kurau, I'll always love you!
Yesterday Today Tomorrow
That's where you'll be living from now on, Kurau.
Isn't it a nice place?
It'll be your new home.
What's the matter, Kurau?
This taste... so nostalgic.
Very delicious.
Eat all you want.
Aren't you tired from all that talking we did?
Sorry for surprising you.
Don't be, you're always welcome here, Kurau.
Want more, Christmas?
Yes, I'll have some.
You're just like Kurau when she first came here.
The only thing different is the length of your hair.
Kurau, tell me.
Why did you name her Christmas?
It just came to my mind.
Felt like my heart was warmed.
Is that so...
It's a good name, Christmas.
Thank you.
Good for you, Christmas.
Yes.
Kurau said that you are her mother's sister.
I am.
Did she say anything about her mother?
That she doesn't exist anymore.
Yes... she died of a disease when Kurau was still young.
Understand?
Seems like she doesn't remember her mother that well.
She was so young when it happened.
But she probably hasn't forgotten it all.
People are sometimes helped by their memories.
She will be too.
Is it really okay?
If the GPO finds out that we're here, we'll cause trouble for you.
You don't need to worry about those things.
Rather, I'm worried about your father.
Yes.
And I don't have any way of contacting the agent that helped us.
I'll get my old friend to look into this.
Seems like they're getting along nicely.
I think she's relieved.
You have some rest here too.
You've fought all the way here.
The freighter with Kurau on it exploded because of an accidental firing at the weapon it was armed with.
We could not find Kurau.
It must be bad news for you.
Dr. Amami, are you all right?
Kurau, my daughter, died a long time ago.
I've told you so all along.
Doctor!
Inspector Wong, I have things to do.
Leave the treatment of Rynasapiens to me.
Dr. Amami didn't seem like he believed it.
Of course!
Who'll believe that Kurau and Christmas died?!
No one survived.
That is the truth.
We have no reason to keep you here any longer.
You are released, former officer Dag.
They...
Where am I supposed to go now...
Hello?
Hello, dad?
Yeah, Teddy.
Dad, why didn't you call me for so long?
I... I...
Ted, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Don't cry.
Teddy.
Please don't cry.
Please.
Yes, like that.
Knead it well.
You're doing good.
Seems like there's no movement to indicate they're searching for you.
The GPO probably thinks that we died in space.
I'd like to at least let your father know that you're alive.
Kind of feels like I've become a ghost.
I want to go and search for dad and Dag, but I can't do anything.
It's not that you can't do anything.
You're alive.
Yes.
For now, you must wait, Kurau.
I used to gaze at the lake like this a lot.
When you weren't here, and I was alone.
What are you writing about?
A letter.
I promised my dad that I won't even send a letter.
So this is a letter that won't be sent.
Uncle comforted me.
He took me hiking everyday.
Wait, Frank!
You're so strong, Uncle.
I'm a former agent.
I've trained a lot.
Agent?
Yeah, a job to help people.
I quit after I injured my leg. But I can do anything, can't I?
Yeah.
It was fun.
Almost to the point that I forgot my loneliness.
But one day...
Frank!
Are you okay?
I...
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I was scared.
Kurau, it's okay now.
I'm okay.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
You tried to rescue me, right?
But... I injured my dad with my power.
I heard that from your father.
But he said it wasn't your fault, right?
But...
Stand up now.
Listen, Kurau.
You must not be scared.
Strong power can hurt people, but it can also help people depending on how you use it.
Help people?
Yes.
Me?
... Dad, I didn't think that my power could help people until now.
I've thought about it ever since then.
Right now, I'm learning things from Uncle Frank to become an agent.
As long as I'm in this world, I want to live on my own feet, with my own hands.
I feel that way now.
I still don't know anything about this wide, wide world.
Dad... I'll always love you...
But... this will be the last letter that won't be sent.
Good girl, Kurau.
Good girl?
Because you decided to become an agent on your own, right?
Yes, that's right.
Do you remember how you felt back then?
Yes...
Now I remember.
You want to work?
It'd be fine if there's a job that I can do here.
If there's something that I can do, I will do it.
I don't want to stay here with you and spend my days not doing anything.
I understand how you feel.
But if the GPO finds out...
Registering as an agent would be bad.
I'll be the middle-man.
Really?
But I think the jobs around here will be quite boring for you.
It's okay if I can do something.
Thank you.
Teddy!
Dad!
Teddy.
You've become heavy.
Teddy, um...
Your mother and I can't live together anymore.
But I'll take a vacation from my job for a while.
Eh?
I want to see you frequently with the time I have.
I'll take you to many places.
Really?
Yeah.
Let's have lots of talks.
Oh yeah, Ted, let me tell you about this really strong agent that I got to know.
You like courageous people, right?
Yeah.
She had courage, and she won't be defeated no matter what.
No matter what.
People with no permission from Headquarters are not allowed to meet the person inside here.
I have received permission.
Eh?
Ah!
Ichize Chiu.
What are you here for?
When I heard that you retired from the research team, I had a bad feeling.
I searched and found you here.
Why... are you a Rynasapien?
It was my mistake.
I made a mistake during an experiment.
What kind of experiment?
It was my mistake.
That's a lie.
You're forced to keep it a secret.
By whom?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
We'll be going.
Have a good time.
Wait for me, Kurau.
Christmas... a strange girl.
She's like a real sister to Kurau.
I wonder what my sister would say if she was still alive.
I don't know...
I'll be going now.
Hope the job goes well.
It's been quite some time since I last did security for a town festival.
I'll be home hungry.
Yeah, I'll be waiting with something delicious.
Nothing was different from normal.
I felt that the sky and the wind were kindly watching over us.
I didn't have any sense of foreboding.
Kurau?
I found you, at last!
You are my twin.

Security, it's an emergency!
Hurry and come!

Look!
This is a big event!
