Isn't that it?
There they are!
Why are the spirits swarming around them?
They're scared.
Maybe they were left behind.
They're smaller than the last time I saw them.
Poor things.
Yeah, right.
This is bad!
Why are you taking them with us?
Because...
Ma-Masayuki! Weapons, weapons!
Hey! I can't! I can't!
According to the Meteorological Agency,
Typhoon #11 is swiftly approaching from 120 kilometers southwest of Tsushima
at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, with waves reaching a height of 40 meters at its core.
It is expected to make landfall in northern Kyushu with a force greater than that of the previous typhoons...
Taro, what about here?
Dad?
Yeah.
Thanks.
There, too!
Taro-kun!
Kei-san!
You're here, too, Kei-san?
This typhoon looks pretty bad.
I'm sorry I'm late.
We're just fine.
We've got the help of some good men.
This storm's just what we need right now.
Well, maybe Ogami-sama will come save us.
Like hell!
Exactly.
Get this, that religious group recently forced a young Suiten girl to be their new leader,
and she keeps saying a dragon god is going to descend on this town.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Taro-kun, I tried fixing up the bamboo. Check it over later.
Okay.
I need to make my own preparations.
Doctor Hirata, are you coming with me?
No, I'm all right.
Well, I'll see you later.
Yes, until then.
I must apologize to you for something, Komori-kun.
I was only counseling you to further my research.
The relationship between fear, hatred, and memories.
I suspected it might be a defect in the limbic system's hippocampus and amygdala,
but I believed you might be the first person to overcome it.
My therapy was genuine,
but my motives were impure.
My mother got better because of you.
And...
Ever since you came here...
I want to observe the changes going on in my brain.
Discovering the role the environment plays on the brain
will be my new goal.
Thank you for letting me listen to these.
You know, because of these tapes, I was able to see your sister.
It was through an altered state of consciousness, of course,
but I watched as she said something to you.
That was-
It's okay.
I wasn't able to see Mizuka in the Unseen World or in my dreams,
but I think there's a reason for that.
Indeed.
I'm sure you're right.
Best of luck to you.
I'm sure you'll be able to save Miyako-chan, Komori-kun.
Th-Thank you very much.
I'm sorry I can only help you in such a makeshift way.
We're coming to you from Suiten at the headquarters of the religious organization, the Ogami Worship Circle.
According to the town's residents, the current leader of the religion is a young elementary school girl!
Look at them all.
We finally have enough.
I knew it.
Have all the biooids, well, died?
That's not the way you'd normally put it.
The culture tanks have been cleaned,
but they'd already been put into partial production at the plant.
It was still at the precursor stage, but the experimental production line was functioning.
There are so many...
I'm sure the higher-ups will order them destroyed.
Professor Nakajima, I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but would you go get your wife?
Masayuki-kun has been very worried.
Take a look at this!
Note: Torii are traditional Japanese gates typically found at the entrance of a Shinto shrine.
Dozens of torii have been erected all the way across the fields!
Do the people of this town truly expect a dragon god to come through here?
No, that's not true at all!
Well, okay...
It's true that I worship Ogami-sama...
But still, the concept of separating church and state is-
Nice job, old man Suzuki.
Shoot, they're already here.
You're up, Michio.
I'm sorry.
I'll put you back later, okay?
They're here?
I'm scared!
in miko attire is entering the building!
It appears a mother accompanied by a child
Oh my, he looks lovely.
Yes, he certainly does.
You can do it.
You moron!
Don't laugh!
It's not fair to-
Even if you do get inside, the problems will only begin there.
Yeah, that's true.
The spirits are on the move.
I wonder how this will all play out.
I don't know if it's truly forbidden for men to create life,
but what happens when they attempt it before they are ready to...
What...
Me?
I've finally...
You creatures fashioned by human hands are our allies. Be not afraid!
Yes, that's right.
What are the media saying where you are?
Umm, Madam Kabata?
Excuse me.
Damn. I can't see anything from the physical world.
Lucky!
From Katsuragi?
The declarations of the Lord of One Word have compelled this child to serve Ogami-sama.
Very well.
However, would you return at a later time?
It's impossible to just sneak in there.
Okay!
Michio and I will distract them, then.
There's no way a dragon god's gonna come.
Right, Yu-chan?
Totally.
It's pouring rain.
Let's go home.
Hey, guys.
Whoa, what's that?
Can you see that?
Over there!
Th-The dragon god!
It's the dragon god!
Dragon god, dragon god!
It's real!
The dragon god's real!
It's the dragon god!
Where?
It's the dragon god!
Dragon god, dragon god!
I wonder if they can see us.
What's it doing here?
That thing's huge!
I'm scared!
What is it now?
What are you doing?
Mi... Mi...
Mi...
Miyako!
Dra-Dra-Dragon god!
What's wrong with you people?
I don't see a thing!
Isn't that a bit much, Michio?
Taro...
Miyako, you can't stay here!
Come with me!
I...
Komagusu-san is okay now!
Suzuki-san went to get him.
What's wrong
Come on...
Miyako, you don't belong here!
I...
The dragon god's here, just like you prophesied!
If only there was no sadness, no unhappiness... If only those feelings were...
I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be here at all!
Miyako, you're Miyako!
You're not anyone else!
I...
Miyako, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Chiho, please don't cry.
Ogami-sama is with a man!
Let's go!
You know...
Won't it be hard to bust out the front door?
Well, it's by a cliff.
There's nowhere to run.
There's a way.
If you go to the back room I used to practice in...
Stop it!
Don't fight!
You are allies.
You were just born differently!
Is this the dragon god?
This way!
There's a tea chest in the back.
The path beneath it was dug a long time ago.
I'm guessing it was used by my ancestors for something.
It's so dark it's hard to see, but we'll be okay, right?
Yeah.
You're late.
You would be making things difficult for certain individuals if you took Ogami-sama away right now.
Makoto...
You bastards.
They're late.
It'll be all right.
I'm sure of it.
Why are you helping us?
I wonder...
Taro,
find an opening and run.
What about you?
Children should respect their elders.
Your fingerprints are on this knife.
What would happen if he killed someone with it?
Catch my drift?
Makoto...
So what?
Very well, then.
Consider this part of your education.
They're not here yet?
No, they're not.
Where is Miyako?
Miyako!
We have to wait here.
If I'd had more courage, this never would've happened to her!
This way!
What are you doing, Gin?
Yes, you are companions!
Be allies!
You won't be alone anymore.
Masayuki!
They're here!
Miyako!
I'm sorry,
Miyako!
It's my fault.
I'm fine.
Stop pretending.
Let's both stop.
Dad.
Makoto?
Are you okay?
I just freaked them out a bit.
Hey!
I did it!
Good work!
We did it, we did it!
Wait, Michio, what did you do again?
I did all that!
Just kidding, just kidding.
Great job!
This is Ogami-sama's...
Masayuki!
Mom!
Well, I think it's time for me to go.
Will I see you again?
I did enjoy myself a little.
Taro-kun!
Yeah?
Miyako?
Taro...
I'll always be watching over you from the Unseen World.
It's okay, I don't need you to anymore.
I understand now.
Mizuka became a part of me, which means she's still alive inside me.
It's just like the first time you saw me in the light... I can feel it.
Thank you, Miyako.
