It is said that 70% of the human brain's capacity is unused.
If humans possess incredible power,
it is strongly believed to be lying dormant within this region.
This unused 70% brain capacity,
is known as...
Wait!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Please forgive Mother, I'm sorry...
Abandoned,
we have been abandoned by our parents!
The only ones left are Naoya and I, we have been abandoned!
Naoto is really enjoying himself.
It's nice that he's lively, but Naoto breaks his toy fairly quickly.
Just let him play freely.
We produce toys after all.
There are plenty of replacements even if they break.
However, this one seems pretty well-made, doesn't it?
Huh?!
There are no batteries in it!
Then what made it move...?
Darling!
Nose bleed...
When I was a child,
I thought that anyone could move things without using their hands.
When I turned six, Naoya was born.
Be a good boy and stop crying, Naoya-chan.
My parents, who were feeling uncertain about me, were happy about Naoya's birth.
An earthquake!
Naoto! Naoya! Are you all right?
Naoya, did it hit you? Are you injured?
Hush, hush.
Don't worry. There's no need to worry.
That was what Naoya deciphered from Mother's inner voice.
Do you still remember that incident?
When that man, Hanaoka, Father's former subordinate, came to sell land.
That incident.
Yes.
Based on the resale valuation report, it's originally impossible to get at such a price!
However, due to circumstances, if this goes on, the company will be unable to make any profit.
Please think of it as a tax-reduction strategy.
Truly, we have been well taken care of by your family ever since your Father's time.
Indeed, that is why I want to transfer it to your company at such a price.
That's why I brought it to Kirihara-san first.
However, even though it's cheap, a price is still a price...
Ah, of course.
Please take your time to consider.
I'm going to talk to Naoto-kun and his brother.
Ah, go ahead.
What were you looking at?
You brothers sure are infamous.
It pisses the hell out of me just looking at you.
Even when I think about it now, I find it unbelievable.
Why were Father and Mother nearly fooled by those bastards?
When I saw those people, I don't know why, but I felt this uncertainty.
Yes.
I wanted to know, at all costs, what they were really thinking in their hearts.
It was the first time that I had that kind of thought.
Even though I was frightened.
Please check.
Well then...
It's correct.
Thank you. With this, the contract is signed.
I should be thanking you, for bringing me such good news.
Well then, we shall take our leave.
Hey, how about a drink?
No thanks, we are in a hurry. I'm sorry.
Now, let's go.
Yes.
Okay.
Naoto. Naoya. What's wrong?
Kids, we're in a bit of a hurry.
Can you let us pass?
Bring more!
Naoya!
Those people are all liars!
They intend to con Father and steal his money!
Naoya!
What is going on?
Now, let's hurry.
L-Let's.
P-Please wait.
Please let me take another look at the contract.
A-Another look.
The contract has already been signed!
Let's go!
No!
What's with this kid? What did you do to my father?!
Sanae, what's wrong?
Sanae!
Someone... Someone help!
Naoto!
Both your power and mine were fully awakened after that.
Yes.
But due to that, the way Father and Mother looked at us,
was different from what it used to be.
The House of Puppets is still around?
A girl, who seemed expressionless as a doll, lived with her father in that house. The two of them depended on each other.
The girl was suffering in a way that was different from us.
That was the message that was conveyed to Naoya.
Naoya at that time was extremely frightened of touching people other than me.
As for me...
Naoto.
It has been decided that you don't need to go to school from now on.
It's because you were causing injuries to the people around you.
That's how it turned out after I talked with your teachers.
Stop it, Naoto!
Naoya?
Naoya, don't do it!
Naoya!
Naoya, Naoya.
Naoya, what's wrong?
Naoya, what did you see?
Naoya, Naoya!
Naoya...
Listen, Naoya is sick.
It will be painful if he doesn't get treated.
You understand, right? Naoto?
We can't let people touch Naoya.
Even doctors can't! They can't!
I'm sorry...
I-I didn't mean...
Up until now, has something like this happen to Naoya-kun before?
There were some instances where he developed a fever after getting a shock.
Eh? When did he get a shock?
Naoto, it's fine.
You can tell him anything.
When he... When he touches people and sees detestable things...
What do you mean by detestable things?
Things like lies
and grudges.
Naoya is capable of reading the thoughts of people.
Especially when touching them...
Hmm...
Then, how did Naoto-kun find out that Naoya-kun can do such a thing?
That...
That was what Naoya said.
Also, what Naoya said was proven to be true.
I see. So that's why.
You aren't surprised?
That's nothing.
Then, why is Naoya-kun capable of reading the minds of others?
That's because he has that kind of power.
That kind of power?
Mental power.
That cannot be seen with eyes.
How do you know something you can't see exists?
Air cannot be seen either, but it exists, right?
Air can be proven with science.
But the ability to read peoples' minds that you spoke of cannot be proven by anyone, right?
It's a tale that you brothers fabricated, right?
Tale?
You are saying that we are lying?
You can't really call it a lie, but something that brothers have agreed on...
You won't allow other people to interfere with it, right?
I understand how you feel.
Enough. Hurry up and bring Naoya back to us!
Naoto, stop it. Stop.
I couldn't leave it to such a doctor.
I headed towards the House of Puppets,
in order to understand what Naoya saw within that girl.
It hurts! Father, it hurts!
Stop it!
Father, stop it!
I did this all for you.
I am giving you pain so that you'll be a good girl.
What are you trying to do by coming here!
This is cruel...
I'm now going to untie you and set you free.
W-Wait! Ayane!
Help! Someone come and help!
I beg you, help!
Wait! Return Ayane... Return Ayane to me!
Police! Someone get the police!
Naoya...
what really happened to you?
Naoya!
Naoya, can you hear me?!
That girl was saved.
The father was caught by the police.
That girl was saved, so please come back.
Naoya, come back!
Naoya!
Naoya...
B-Brother...
Naoya!
Naoya...
She was so badly abused by her father.
Her father thought that hurting her like that was a way of showing his love for her.
However, since her body was injured, he made and displayed a doll that would always show a beautiful form.
I wonder what happened to that girl.
I think that her injuries were quite bad.
However, definitely by now...
That doll was creepy.
I can still remember those red eyes.
Huh? Red?
Yes.
The doll I saw in her consciousness had blue eyes.
No, they were red.
It doesn't matter. It's something that has ended.
Let's go, Naoya.
Let's take a look at our house.
Brother...
What is it?
I feel afraid somehow.
I'm afraid of going to our house.
Gone...
Our house is gone.
What is going on...
Ah, excuse me.
What is it?
When was the house here demolished?
House? There was a house on this vacant land?
This has been vacant land ever since I was born.
No houses were built on it.
Eh?
That's impossible.
That woman was the one who saved me.
Things that should exist don't actually exist in reality.
We kept questioning ourselves.
In order to learn the truth,
we seek out a vague answer.
The ever-expanding falsehood brought about by negative consciousness draws us in.

Where are we heading?
