Phryne...
Nessa, go over to Clain's side.
B-But...
Go!
Can you hear us now, boy?
To reward you for having been nice to Phryne, I'll tell you the truth about this world.
Don't worry, it's for free.
Phryne...
Let go of Phryne!
I wonder if you'll still want to be friends with Phryne once I've told you.
To conserve and protect the biological data of the original Phryne, the girl we call God,
the scientists who created the Fractale System split God into body and spirit, creating the key.
700 years later, when the time came, the key did not fit into the keyhole for some reason.
So we decided to have God descend again in order to reboot the Fractale System.
God's spirit was that of a 10-year-old,
so we recreated a 10-year-old body and attempted to imbue it with the spirit.
However, this did not fare well.
We tried countless times, but God did not awaken.
Many bodies — many Phrynes — were sacrificed as rejects.
Years have passed, and now this job falls to me.
Still, I am human.
My pity drove me to adopt a few of them.
This girl here is one of them.
My beloved daughter, pure and innocent without God's spirit inside her.
Am I right, Phryne?
However, I did not neglect my job.
I made a discovery!
I discovered the elusive secret to God and Phryne!
I was astounded, but understood nonetheless.
It was no surprise the elders could not solve the problem.
It turned out God's age was not 10 but 16, like this Phryne!
Yes, God created a 10-year-old's personality and hid herself in it!
Due to a certain traumatic experience, I should say.
Paradise
Where'd they go?
Big Brother!
Enri, Takami, go back and look for another route.
Split up and find Clain before Alabaster does!
Yessir!
You still can't find the central path?
What happened to the reinforcements I asked for?
What? You can't reach them?
The cowards, shrinking back when they're needed the most!
Yes, this Phryne and God went through the same experience.
That's how she obtained the data abnormalities present in God.
W-What experience?
Phryne...
...learned of love.
Love?
Phryne, what's he talking about?
It means Phryne is mine.
It also means this world which Phryne alone can save belongs only to us both.
I know why you went crazy for her.
She's an antique of the highest caliber, matured by my own hands.
You must be jealous.
Too bad though.
Boy, you couldn't have Phryne or the world even if you spent a millennium trying.
Get it? Now go home and cry!
Bye-bye, clueless adventure boy!
P-Phryne?
What was that for, Phryne?
It hurts.
Papa doesn't remember teaching you to do that.
Who taught you?
Who, Phryne?
No!
Miss Phryne?
It hurts.
I'm lonely.
Phryne!
Clain, Phryne is...!
Hey!
Nessa will go!
It won't go away!
It won't go away! It won't go away!
Nessa... why?
This is what Phryne did to warm Nessa up when she was cold.
So now Nessa's returning the favor.
I have no right to have someone warm me up.
No right?
I'm tainted.
I have a tainted soul, tainted...
Phryne is pretty.
Your tears are shiny, just like gems.
Nessa.
Nessa!
Nessa knows this song.
Let's go.
Where to?
No matter where we go, we will stay together.
Clain too?
Phryne learned of love.
It also means this world which Phryne alone can save belongs only to us both.
Stop...
She's an antique of the highest caliber, matured by my own hands.
Stop!
Enri?
What's wrong with you?
And where's Phryne?
Alabaster is after her!
What?
What do you mean, "what"?!
Wait, Nessa isn't here either!
What the hell are you doing?!
Why are you getting cold feet? Aren't you a man?
Protect them until the very end!
Don't you love them both?!
Love...
That's right. I haven't told her yet.
Huh?
This way!
The Tristan's defense crew has been eliminated.
They've taken the ship!
We won't be able to hold this place either.
Please send reinforcements!
That's interesting to hear.
The three families that were to rendezvous with us have all withdrawn from the frontlines.
No way...
Humans betray others.
That's what makes us human.
We're moving on to Plan E.
Tell the others.
Have the Danan give you a ride.
Never!
We will stay with our leader!
Thank you.
That was a pretty big one.
Enri!
Brother!
Is Clain all right?
I don't know why exactly,
but Alabaster has begun blowing up the temple and are ready to die in the process.
The Danan's in danger!
Go back right now and take the ship out!
What about you, Big Brother?
I still have something left to do.
Clain, what about you?
I...
Enri, take command of the Danan.
B-But what about you?
Enri, are you still a pampered little kid?
Of course not.
Brother...
Don't worry, I'll be back.
Takami, take care of Enri.
Yessir!
Clain, let's go!
We've got to stay in one piece until we find them.
Wait!
What's this song?
Where is it coming from?
What is this?
Phryne! Nessa!
Freeze, all of you!
This is a sacred ceremony.
Violence will not be tolerated.
Phryne, why?!
Phryne has decided on her own to become the key to the world.
What?
Deciding on your own again?
Hey, Phryne!
Phryne!
Phryne...
I invite you both to witness a moment that happens only once in a thousand years.
We will guide the beloved daughters to the Firmament.
The line between friend and foe is now gone.
We will overcome our ideologies and bestow blessing upon the world.
Then...
Please allow me to participate.
Dias!
How wonderful.
I'm delighted at the chance to give blessing to the world.
Grand Priestess, this is dangerous.
Eliminate him!
I am honored to be able to meet you, Grand Priestess.
Stand up.
I sense that we are quite similar.
Should we be reborn, we might be close friends.
My heart fills with your warm words.
Have you planted explosives in this room as well?
Yes.
My two remaining friends have died for it.
I pray for them.
Thank you very much.
Grand Priestess!
Dias?!
Are you lonely?
Perhaps.
Shall we die together, Grand Priestess?
I care little about my life.
However, I will not yield the world.
We're going in, Clain!
What the-
Jump, Clain!
Just jump!
Phryne!
Clain!
Damn it!
Sunda!
Hurry up and get into the elevator!
Just go already!
How do you start this up?
There's a button on the side.
Is this connected to that Firmament thing?
Yes.
Clain, you go on ahead.
What about you, Sunda?
I should make something clear before you go.
To be honest, I don't really know how the world should be either.
We've simply followed the path we believe in.
I don't regret that.
Clain, now is the time to decide which path you believe in.
Granitz's will is the decisions of its members!
They're firing at the princess?!
Sunda, come too!
We'll meet again if we're lucky!
Go!
T-That was close!
Don't let your guard down until we're in safe airspace!
Full speed ahead!
But what about Big Brother's group?!
We're going, Takami.
Miss...
Follow my orders.
Phryne...
Are you cold?
No.
I'm glad this place is warm.
Phryne's lap is warm too.
Are you going to become the key?
Yes.
Why?
Nessa's heavily damaged.
She's going to disappear at this rate.
But there's no guarantee you or Nessa will be fine after you become one, right?
There isn't.
But that's suicide!
It may be.
But it's better this way.
Ultimately, we were nothing more than the key.
We're simply becoming what we used to be.
You're deciding everything on your own again.
What about my feelings?
Your feelings?
I don't know much about the world.
Both the temple and Sunda's people had some things right and some things wrong.
Choosing either of them is impossible for me right now.
But there's one thing I can say.
I'd be sad if I lost you and Nessa right now.
I'd be so sad I'd want to die.
Don't sympathize with me.
I no longer have any right to receive your love-
I love you, Phryne.
Sometimes you get mad, punch me, or say things that make no sense.
You're stubborn and go off on your own.
I've been annoyed with you plenty of times.
But...
I love you for being that way.
Maybe I came here because I wanted to say that.
Don't say that, Clain...
So let's decide together.
Right until the end. The two...
No, the three of us.
Clain and Phryne are getting along.
The three of us will be together forever.
Who is it?
Stay alert even though we're in "safe" airspace.
Return to your post.
I can see your tears reflected in the window.
Grandpa...
Enri, be strong.
Let me tell you something.
Lost Millennium wasn't created to destroy the Fractale System.
Humans used to be free and truly human.
Lost Millennium was created to pass that down to the future.
It's so beautiful.
Clain, this is sacred ground.
You shouldn't move around too much.
What do we do now?
Nessa's memories should lead us from here...
It's Phryne.
What about me?
That's...
...God.
I hope it's recording.
Um... I'm about to go to work now.
Some place called Fractale is looking for a girl.
What was it, "collect data" or something?
It's kinda scary, but Daddy would get mad at me and I don't want to be punished.
It's kinda unpleasant...
Oh, but I'll be fine since Nessa will be with me.
"You'll be fine!"
I can be a strong girl when I'm with Nessa.
I love Nessa!
"Nessa loves Phryne too!"
Yup, Nessa loves love, right?
Loves love...
I love this song too.
If I were to offer a wish to the day star
Nessa, what will you wish for from the day star?
"Um... Nessa wants to eat cake!"
I'd like one too.
One with lots of berries.
I would wish for light-
Oh, Daddy's here.
Bye-bye!
That's God...
She's just a girl, like me.
But she's different from me.
She was able to accept this twisted world and smile like she did.
Just like Nessa.
Phryne... let's go.
Clain.
I might be able to love this world now...
...because you were there for me.
And also because Nessa was there for me.
I want to protect those dear to me right now.
Clain, do you think I'm still being selfish?
You aren't.
I'll protect you and Nessa with all my strength.
No matter what happens after you two become one, I'll take both of you home.
Then the three of us will live together.
The three of us together... forever.
Go now.
Okay.
Can you stand?
Yeah.
Okay, Nessa. It's time for hide-and-seek.
Hide-and-seek?
The whole world will be our playground for hide-and-seek.
That's wonderful.
All right, Nessa will be "it" first.
Okay, let's do that.
Clain, thank you.
Nessa...
If I were to offer a wish to the day star
I'd wish for Clain's smile to last forever
I didn't cry.
I thought for a moment that this might be the time to cry.
But there were no tears.
That doesn't mean I wasn't moved, though.
I'm sure that's because there are people wishing for my eternal smile.
It's time for the five o'clock prayer.
Today marks the first anniversary of the Fractale System's reboot.
Over here!
Now, pray.
Hurry up, you're falling behind!
As long as Fractale exists, the world will remain eternally peaceful.
Down by the Salley Gardens
"Eternal as long as it exists", they say.
That's so contradictory.
My love and I did meet
Let them say it.
There won't be another reboot since the temple was destroyed.
I guess so.
She passed the Salley Gardens
Uh... I got dirt under my nails.
What? If you worry about that, farm work isn't-
With little snow-white feet
Hey, Gowan!
Teach him properly!
S-Sorry, Miss!
Enri has become quite the leader.
She bid me take love easy
Yeah.
Ooh, a worm!
Why are you bending down like that?
Put more strength into-
As the leaves grow on the tree
Where do you think you're touching, pervert?!
Huh?
Are you learning how to be a pervert too?
No...
But I, being young and foolish
But you can't beat the true pervert.
I wonder how Clain's doing.
With her did not agree
You want this?
Here.
In a field by the river
He's happy even if he can't eat it?
My love and I did stand
It's been a year since then.
As for the changes in my life...
I now cook at home.
And on my leaning shoulder
And...
Isn't the morning beautiful, Phryne, Nessa?
She laid her snow-white hand
The two of them have been sleeping ever since.
Well then, guess I'll go grab the stuff for dinner after eating breakfast.
She bid me take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
Phryne!
Morning!
What a beautiful morning.
Huh? Phryne?
But I was young and foolish
I love the sun!
I really do!
I really love love!
And now I am full of tears
Yeah, it really is a great morning.
Yup!
Nessa?
Well...
Oh yeah, are you hungry?
Hungry?
It feels really tight around here, so I might be.
Wait a minute, breakfast's almost done.
Yay!
Clain.
Thank you.
She bid me take love easy
Clain.
I love you too.
As the leaves grow on the tree
I've loved you ever since we first met.
I'm so happy now.
But I, being young and foolish
With her did not agree
But I was young and foolish
Oh, Clain...
You're just like a baby.
And now I am full of tears
The End
