You exist...
inside me.
Nori-chan is inside me...
Nori-chan!
It's All Over... I Think
KIZNAIVER
This pain... It's Chidori, isn't it?
How do you know it's Chidori?
Well, I'm not certain, but...
Chidori?
What are you doing here by yourself? Where's Katsuhira?
He left...
He went to look for Sonozaki-san...
He went to Sonozaki-san.
Owie!
This isn't emotional... This is actual pain!
I'm against violence!
How ya doin'?!
Why are you letting them beat up on you?
Well, I mean, it was two against one.
But I think the tables have turned now.
And the tables have turned again.
Stand up already!
We're surrounded!
Damn it... This way!
Hurry!
Huh?
They're not attacking us?
Let the screening begin.
The breaker's still down, so how...
K-Kacchon?!
Are you all right?
Yes. I just got a bit dizzy.
Thank goodness. Aren't you cold?
I can't say that I'm not cold.
Ah, right... What should we do?
May I ask a question, as well?
Sure, go ahead.
Do you like me?
I don't know if I like you, but...
I can't help thinking about you.
Looks like the love scene's started.
That little...
Hey!
Stop!
Thinking about me?
Does that mean you think about me all the time?
I guess maybe I do, relatively.
How much do you think about me throughout the day?
Well...
Altogether, it might be about an hour.
No...
Chidori...
That Kizna mark...
Kizna mark?!
You said earlier that I exist inside you, didn't you?
I have a feeling I've known you
for a really long time.
My memories from when I was a tiny little kid are vague.
But there's something like a scene that comes to me occasionally.
There's a little girl, and she always tells me
that I'll be able to get my pain back.
I can never see her face very well.
But ever since I became a Kiznaiver, I've been able to see it more clearly.
It's you, Nori-chan.
Me...
Could it be that you and I are also bound together?
What?! Katsuhira and Sonozaki?!
Is that even possible?
I can't win...
Chidori?
I said I knew more about Kacchon than Sonozaki-san...
But if that's not true either, then...
Let's get to the gym!
Listening from in here won't get us anywhere!
Tenga!
Hey, wait!
Yay, it's a lovers' quarrel!
So Tenga-kun really...
Let's go, Chidori.
No.
I don't want to go!
You don't want to get rejected?
That's not fair.
Tenga-kun will yell at those two.
He'll probably stop them...
So you can just stay right here and not do anything!
Wh-What are you talking about?
I'm going to go!
I'm going to go get properly hurt!
Wait, Nico...
Properly hurt...
Yeah! Dig deep, Niyama Nico!
Takashiro Chidori just needs one more little—
You have horrible taste.
It's like we're taking people's emotions and playing with them like toys.
If you say something like that,
it means you're pretty much denying this whole experiment.
It's been twelve years since the Kizna Committee gathered children,
from early childhood to adolescence, as test subjects.
Among the children picked in early childhood were you and me, Katsuhira-kun.
Back then, everyone believed
in the righteousness and possibility of permanent peace.
So much so that everyone involved was almost in a trance.
People even happily offered their own children.
Well, that's how attractive this experiment was to everyone.
You were a prime example of that, Urushii.
Don't you remember?
Shiori, with the short hair.
Yuki, who knew a lot about flowers and plants.
Asuka, who always walked with a spring in her step.
Nori-chan! Hurry! Come on!
Sorry!
It hurts...
I want to go home...
I can't breathe...
It hurts...
Mommy, help me...
It hurts...
I can't breathe...
What is this?
I can't breathe...
This pain...
It's Katsuhira-kun's.
It's not physical pain. It's from his heart? But it's different from usual...
Kacchon...
Katsuhira-kun.
So you're starting to remember?
Y-Yes...
But there's something strange...
Something...
I see...
So I'm still inside you, too...
People can't find themselves within you.
That irritates them.
No...
You can get your pain back.
No...
Nori-chan!
I can't breathe, Katsuhira-kun.
KIZNAIVER
Katsuhira-kun...
I can't breathe, Katsuhira-kun.
The scar...
Why are you holding me?
I don't know.
We were connected long before you connected with everyone else.
Yes.
It wasn't just the two of us. There were a lot of other children.
Yes.
Yuki taught me which leaf would become a whistle if you blew hard onto it.
Asuka, Shiori, Pon-chan, Tonko...
So you're starting to remember.
Yes. As I'm holding you like this, Nori-chan,
a lot of things are welling up inside me...
They're inside me. So are you, Nori-chan.
Chidori... Everyone...
Chidori!
Chidori...
Damn it!
Katsuhira, go after her!
Huh? Why?
Just do it!
Tenga, wait!
Tenga!
Hurry up!
O-Okay...
What the hell's going on?
You and Katsuhira are Kiznaivers, too?
Yes.
So you feel Agata's pain, too?
I'm sure that must be the case.
Huh?
Tenga!
What the hell?! You're still hiding something, aren't you?!
Spill it! Tell us everything!
Stop! You shouldn't be violent with a girl!
She's no girl! She's the enemy!
She's our...
So, Tenga-kun, you do...
Huh?
Huh? What was that?
That's what it feels like to be in love.
Huh? Love...?
Niyama-san likes you, Tenga-kun.
Huh?!
N-No!
Nico?!
Well, it was pretty obvious.
Huh?
I thought that might be the case, but...
Y-You're kidding...
You're not going to go after her?
Huh? Me?! Why?!
You told Katsuhira to do the same thing.
This is different—
It's the same.
Wait! What am I supposed to do when I catch her?
Just shut up and go!
Chidori!
Wait, Chidori!
Let go of me!
But...
Please! Let me go!
Chido—
Hold me.
You half-assed girl...
You said you were going to go out there and get properly hurt...
Yet your feelings for Tenga-kun got found out in such a half-assed way...
This is...
Hold me.
Hold me, too.
This voice...
It's Chidori's voice!
Voice?
You can hear Takashiro-san's voice?
Y-Yeah...
Is it... the voice in her heart?
Please, hold me like you held Sonozaki-san.
She's...
Tenga?!
Hey!
Aww, wait up!
The voice in her heart...
That's amazing!
I can't believe this! You're such excellent students! Man!
Where are you going, Urushii?
I'm going to stop them.
Huh?!
At this rate, those kids are going to break.
Wait!
I'm not letting you go.
Hey, let go of me.
If we can produce results here,
we'll be able to officially continue the Kizna Experiment.
That's what Nori-chan wants, too.
And yet you want to betray your precious Nori-chan?
Urushii!
Please, let go of me!
Hold me, Kacchon.
Please!
Hold me.
You're so cruel...
How could you hold me? You're so cruel.
Katsuhira!
What the hell are you doing to Chidori?!
Huh? B-But you told me to go after her, Tenga-kun...
And Chidori told me to hold her...
Don't screw around!
Stop!
Why, Chidori?
Why do you like Katsuhira more than me?
Tenga-kun?
Hey, Tenga, stop!
That hurts, damn it!
Let go of me! Let go!
Calm down!
We can hear your thoughts!
So what if I like Chidori?!
Give him to me...
Why are you fighting?
Nico...
Why? Didn't we all become friends?
If you don't want him, give Tenga-kun to me.
We lit fireworks together!
We swam in the ocean!
We ate French fries together!
We took purikura together!
If we keep feeling this way...
We wrote "Best Friends" on the purikura! So why did this happen?!
We can't be friends.
Nico-san...
That's right, Nico... No, Niyama-san.
Huh?
We can't be friends.
Honoka-chan, what are you...
Whether we can hear each other's thoughts or not, it's still the same.
If you get too close to someone,
you have to share your heart with them. You have to reveal yourself to them.
I was honestly thinking...
that I wanted to be...
Honoka...
But that was a mistake.
We can't become friends.
We can't be friends!
It hurts...
It hurts... It hurts...
Pain...
Is this... Hey!
This is pain from the heart, not wounds, right?
Hey! If everyone's hurting because of me... If you're in pain because of me...
It's not anyone's alone.
It's everyone's...
Everyone's...
It hurts...
It hurts... It hurts...
Everyone's pain...
should be inside me, too...
And yet, I...
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Do I look all right to you?
No, you don't.
Urushibara-sensei, if we remain connected any longer...
Nori-chan promised you, didn't she?
As soon as summer's over, she'll release you from the Kizna.
I don't believe you...
It's the truth.
The Kizna System wasn't meant to keep people connected for long periods of time anyway.
Huh? But Nori-chan and I...
The rain will stop soon.
Nori-chan...
You can clear your mission, everyone.
The rain...
The rain's going to stop.
KIZNAIVER
Now, now.
You knew very well that your romantic feelings might be unrequited, right?
Next Time
You Knew Very Well That Your Romantic Feelings Might Be Unrequited, Right?
The moment you fell for Agata.
I don't want to hear that from you when
you've never washed your eye mask once, Yamada-sensei!
Huh? How'd you know that?!
