It is said that 70% of human brain 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...
The two of you, welcome.
I am Mikumo.
I wanted to meet you. I was wondering what kind of people you were.
I finally know the reason why the Director wasn't able to relax.
Reason?
Yes.
Can you tell us?
Well, don't pressure me.
Kirihara Naoto.
You understand my powers from what happened earlier, don't you?
You can't defeat me.
But I'll give you just one chance to do so.
Chance?
Yes.
What are you doing?
Come on, use just a bit of your power and you'll kill me.
Just a bit.
You just need to press against my hand.
It should be something simple for you.
You bastard...
Brother.
Come on, do it.
Come on...
Kirihara Naoto, you're afraid that you'll come to feel pleasure from killing people.
That is why you are suffering.
You want to be a good boy, that's why you pretend to be suffering.
You say that I'm pretending to suffer?!
Brother, you can't believe anything he says!
Hmph. Even though you can't do anything, you try to change the opinion of others.
What?
Bastard!
I see. It was you!
Sakie-san didn't do it. You did it!
You were the one who killed the five high school girls and made it look like a suicide!
That's right.
Mikumo!
Why did you do such a cruel thing?
It was to force Sakie into depression.
Sad emotions can further develop Sakie's power.
That power is wonderful.
Using that power as a catalyst, it is possible to spread the influence of one consciousness to many others at the same time.
Catalyst... Then where will Sakie-san's consciousness go?
That is none of my concern. That power has value because it can be used as a catalyst.
That's cruel. You sacrificed Tsuzuki-san and five others just for that?
It was necessary no matter what.
Such a thing...
It's for Sakie's happiness.
Happiness?
Sakie will be able to live happily once she's a part of Ark.
Aren't you doing that so things will go your way?!
I won't do something like Mikuriya.
I just amplify what's already in the heads of people and make it tangible.
That was what you saw just now.
Stop acting good, aren't you a murderer?
We were killed by you!
We were killed by your power.
It's your fault!
Brother, get a hold of yourself!
The five students who died were frightened by the fact that they had no worth in life.
I just pushed that emotion a bit and made it stronger.
Naoto, it seems that this woman fell in love with you at first sight.
Hey, stop her!
Do it yourself.
Stop it, you're being controlled. Stop it!
Between you and me, who do you think did something that harmed this woman?
What?
Don't you understand?
You are incapable of doing anything for Sakie, so don't do anything.
Don't do anything if you don't wish to injure anyone.
Just be obedient and stay out of it. Understand?
It's correct.
We will take custody of Sakie-san.
Please enjoy yourself. The food here is wonderful.
Sakie... She's been weak ever since she was young. Please... Please...
Madam, please don't worry.
Sakie-san is an important guest to Ark.
We won't do anything to hurt her.
I'll leave her to you.
Then, when are you coming to pick Sakie up?
Let's see... The sooner the better.
We will come to pick her up from your house in two or three days' time. Good bye.
Brother...
Are you all right?
You seem to be really exhausted.
Yes... I had a dream.
Brother, it's tonight.
Tonight, they're going to take Sakie-san to Ark.
Her sister is crying. She's crying and saying that she doesn't want to be separated from her sister.
I... What can I do...?
Brother, we can't hand Sakie-san over to Ark.
We can't!
What is it?
I forbid you to take Sakie-san away!
This is a problem that outsiders aren't allowed to interfere with.
This is a problem between her parents and us.
You don't have the right to say anything.
I told you to stop!
I thought Mikumo had already spoken to you...?
Sakie-san...
I beg you, please don't take Sister away!
Tomomi, stop this.
But...
This is our family problem. Please don't interfere.
It's a mistake to hand Sakie-san over to them!
Then what should we do? Sakie made five girls commit suicide!
We can no longer keep her with us!
Sakie didn't kill anyone! They weren't killed by her!
Stop trying to comfort us.
It's time for you to make way for us.
I told you before, didn't I?
I'm an anti-power user.
No! You cannot take Sakie-san away!
Sakie-san, wake up! Escape! If you don't hurry up and escape...
Let... go...
Contact Ark if you have anything to say.
Naoya!
Are you all right?
Sister!
Sister!!!
Tomomi, stop this.
Sister...
Sister!
Brother...
So, you've woken up?
Who are you?
I am Okuhara Akiko.
There is a reason for your suffering.
It will eventually turn into one gigantic mass of energy.
That's why there's a reason for the suffering that you've experienced.
I will tell you why you and the mysterious power you possess coexist.
You have a strong power that is capable of saving the world.
Strong power?
Yes.
Sakie has yet to fully awaken.
I have images of Tsuzuki over here if you need them.
Tsuzuki's are useless.
We can't rely on her waking from the shock that Tsuzuki might bring.
Director, you prophesized that Tsuzuki would betray us and get into a relationship with Sakie, didn't you?
You also knew that Mikumo would make Tsuzuki end up like this, and that Sakie would receive a shock from it.
That was why you sent Tsuzuki to the school.
I'm such an idiot when faced with such a powerful precognition user.
We need a reliable method.
We must awaken Sakie, else we'll be exterminated.
The same goes for Naoto and Naoya.
Ah... We have no choice but to end everything.
I understand.
Be careful.
Those two are wild elements to my prophecies.
When those two are involved, the future goes out of control.
That hasn't changed, even now.
Don't worry.
Mikumo is doing it, so it'll go smoothly.
Mikumo's aim is to make Brother confused.
This is regrettable. I can't do anything.
I know that I can't allow you to be confused.
However, I'm unable to do anything to calm your mind.
Perhaps what they're doing is right.
Eh?
As long as Sakie possesses that kind of power, she's unable to live a normal life.
The same happened to us.
To them, Sakie-san is just a tool!
Should we continue to fight against them and get Sakie back?
If we do so, where should we take her after that?
How can we make Sakie happy?
Sakie-san cannot be separated from her sister.
Damn!
Brother, don't be mistaken. That is just an illusion...
A-Are you all right?
Y-Yes.
Damn, this is the work of Mikumo.
Where? Where are you, Mikumo?!
Wait!
B-Brother!
Wait, Mikumo!
Putting on a facade of justice?
What did you say?
You're obviously a murderer, Naoto. Don't make me laugh.
You're the same as me.
I am different from you!
You actually say that after killing three people?
You're just deceiving yourself.
Try and put a knife next to your neck again, like you did before.
That's impossible, because you're starting to become someone that finds pleasure in killing people.
I am different from you!
You should have listened to what I said. It's pointless to argue.
You cannot defeat me. Stop it.
Brother, what's wrong with you?
Naoto, I'm over here.
I'm over here.
Brother, stop it.
How can anyone be there? It's just an illusion.
Can't you see him?
Let go!
Brother...
Brother!
How does it feel?
Doesn't it feel great to wield your powers freely?
You are destructive. You will destroy everything with that power.
You bastard...!
That's right, Naoto. Kill me.
You spared me... Why are you hesitating?
Naoto, are you scared?
Damn.
Brother, stop it! Brother!
I will kill you!
Brother!
I did it.
I defeated Mikumo.
Naoya, I defeated Mikumo...
Naoya?
Hey, Naoya. Naoya! Naoya!
Naoya!
You're a murderer.
Naoto, you're a murderer.
Brother? Brother?
Brother?
Brother?!
Brother, please wake up!
Brother!
Naoto is dead.
Naoya, you're alone now.
Poor thing.
What's wrong?
Naoya, don't you hate me?
You're the one that's pathetic.
What did you say?
Doing this to prove your own existence, you're the one that needs to be pitied. Poor thing.
What a joke.
Brother, I beg you, please wake up.
Brother. Brother!
Brother!!!
What happened?
Note: Okuhara said 霧 (kiri), which is the first Kanji in Kirihara. It literally means fog, but also has a double meaning in this case.
The fog has disappeared.
Eh?
The fog that was obstructing part of my vision of the future has just disappeared.
Sakie.
Yes?
I have a piece of good news to tell you.
Eh?
What good news?
I, who have fallen into the paradise of darkness, release a ray of light from within that place.
It is a light that can defeat anything.
When that weak light transforms into a powerful brilliance...
The door of fate is opened.
Next episode, Divine Judgment.
Where are we heading?
