Marie!
Stay away!
Wretched fool, forcing the truth on me when I don't want to see it!
I was planning to disappear by myself.
If you guys are here, there's no point anymore!
Why do you have to disappear?
I am the same kind of being as Kunino-Sagiri and Ameno-Sagiri.
I took those two out myself! You don't have to...
No.
It's because you took them out.
The Sagiris and I...
It's not just our role to learn what you humans desire.
Our true role is to respond to human desire and control the fog.
Control the... fog?
Didn't you find it strange?
That fog never lifted for months on end, yet it never spread outside the city.
The Sagiris produce the fog, and I absorb it.
That's my job.
Even after I'd lost my memory, I was subconsciously carrying out that job.
Are you saying that she'd absorbed the fog? Marie?
That's right. I'd absorbed it into my body.
That fog that led humans astray!
Why do you think the fog lifted in your world?
Because you defeated Ameno-Sagiri? Wrong!
If anything, the defeat of Ameno-Sagiri
should have caused the torrents of fog stored inside him to flow outward.
But that didn't happen. In that case, where did all that fog go?
Don't tell me.
It all came flowing into me.
Even as we speak, the fog is roiling inside me.
And now I feel like I'm about to go insane.
If the fog inside me were to leak out, the world will be covered in fog, and eventually...
And so I'm going to vanish along with this Hollow Forest.
That way, the world will be saved. That's...
That's... my job.
The true memories that I've recovered...
Oh, is that what this is about?
So long as you have the will to move on,
you shouldn't stop in your tracks.
Even if you've exhausted the spirit to rise up again,
this bond of truth will summon power for you.
Over and over... Over and over...
We've got to go!
Marie's waiting!
What do you mean... "I hate you"?
You really stink at lying, Marie.
I was your enemy all along! There's no way I can be with you!
That's a load of crap!
Just stop, will you?
If your happiness is compromised, then I won't know what I'm dying for!
You're only thinking of yourself!
Because I know. That you're all busybodies.
That's why I stole your memories and kept you at a distance!
Who asked you to do such a thing?
You'd better drop it, Marie.
Your words are so hollow. They're not resonating at all inside me!
Tell me what you're really thinking, Marie!
What's wrong with averting my gaze from suffering?
I'd prefer a peaceful lie over a painful truth!
Shut up! It's Marie's voice that I want to hear!
Not yours!
Say it! Marie!
Shout it out! What you're really feeling in your heart!
Moron... I hate you...
You suck... Saying that I don't care if I die... of course that's a lie!
Why wouldn't I want to stay with you all longer?
I want to live...
Save me...
Yu...
Of course I will!
I can hear it, guys! Marie-chan's voice!
Hey, I get it now! This is the place where Marie-chan's soul showed up onscreen.
So here it is... Marie-chan's favorite...
Where they sell those rock-hard beefsteaks - Souzai Daigaku!
I saw it, too!
Okina City, where we all went shopping together!
The place where we created our cherished memories!
That beach we went to!
Remember how pretty it was?
Going there with you was so much fun!
The fireworks, the quiz show,
You were there with us for all of it!
So how can we let you die alone now? No way can we do that!
That concert we sang together in!
That's the best memory I have!
I won't let you say that you don't want it!
Knowing the truth, the pain it brings you...
I totally get it, okay?
So I'm not gonna let you be alone!
The truth is painful, but you're not the only one!
Even if it is, you should still go on living with us.
You can go on living!
If you're with your friends!
Marie, your voice of truth...
It reached us.
So...!
All these myths... I'm going to shatter them all!
Marie!
Yu!
Welcome home.
I'm home now...
Isn't that epic hug a little too long?
No way. Letting go of you... standing on my own... They're both impossible for me.
Too tiring!
Hey!
I guess there weren't a whole lot of people that you could rag on, Rise-chan.
That's mine, all right?
If you're gonna steal it, then you need permission from my agency!
I mean, my sponsors aren't going to let this go!
The earth is shaking from our babies' red-hot sparks!
No time for that stuff! What's going on?
This place is supposed to be my grave.
I don't need it if I'm not gonna die,
so of course it's going up in smoke!
Hey, don't gimme that! Tell us sooner!
Or else we're gonna go up in smoke with it!
We're gonna die! We're gonna kick the bucket!
Come on, head for the exit! Hurry!
Marie?
Marie, what are you laughing about?
That was close. I thought for sure our number was up.
Being alive is a wonderful thing, huh?
I'll drink to that!
What?
Just now, the Hollow Forest got wiped out completely.
Because there's no reason for it to exist anymore.
Yeah, I guess.
Bye-bye, grave!
Um... Listen...
Thanks for rescuing me.
Also...
I'm sorry...
Wh-What? What's up with that reaction?
Hey, did you just say "sorry"?
Yes, she did! She just came out and said it.
Huh?
Well, hey, it's not like you.
That kind of thing...
Huh? H-H-H-How stupid is that?
Never mind! I-I-I-I take it back! Forget it, okay?
Oh, boy!
She's back to being her old self again.
But this is more like Marie-chan.
True. That's the Marie we know!
Now there's no question.
Nope.
What's up with that? Hey, revise that statement!
Come on, listen to me! Anyway, what's up with you guys?
Look how hurt you got, coming to my rescue!
Nothing good came of it for you guys! I just don't get you!
Well, you might not get us, but...
Right?
Oh... Hey, look! It's totally sunny outside!
Hey, you're right!
Oh, man, my back's totally sore! Hey, wanna go grab something to eat?
Good idea! Needless to say, it's your treat, Hanamura!
Huh? Why are you saying that like it's a given?
H-Hey!
Why are you guys...
But you know, don't you? The truth is...
I have no idea...
Wow! Look! The snow's sparkling!
It is! It's so pretty!
What's wrong?
When you guys showed up,
I thought I heard someone else's voice coming out of me.
That was...
A voice? Whose?
I don't know. But it was a familiar voice...
It was the same voice I heard when you defeated Ameno-Sagiri,
and the fog started flowing into me.
Huh? Or maybe not.
Actually, it could've been my own voice.
Oh, well, never mind. The fog's gone anyway.
I must have misheard it. Forget I said that!
Hey, my bad! I was aiming for Yu...
Hey, bull's-eye!
You're It next, Marie-chan!
No, it's not that kind of game, you know.
Senpai, come over here and join us!
Now that it's sunny out, and there's all this snow,
don't you want to do this kind of thing?
Do you know what a snowball fight is, Marie-chan?
Wait, I guess you can learn while you're playing!
Hey, how should we split up into teams?
Huh?
What's that?
Huh? Whoa! What the heck?
Whoaaaaa! What's up with that?
You're supposed to throw these, right? The snow. Am I wrong?
That's perfect.
What's so perfect?
Okay, let's split up into teams.
Seconded!
Good idea.
It's the Marie-chan Team vs. the Junes Team!
This is no team!
Hey, no hard feelings, Yosuke.
Jeez! You, too?
All right! Ready...
Start!
Sink!
That's not what you say during a snowball fight!
Hey, that was a rout!
It's ten years too soon to be taking us on.
Well, you do have to feel a little sorry for him.
But today's hero is Marie-chan, wouldn't you say?
Hey, Snowball Queen!
You've got the wrong gender. Not hero - heroine.
Wow! Marie-chan, your skin is gorgeous!
I'm more envious of Naoto-kun...
Huh? Of what?
They really are amazing...
You're right! They're totally amazing...
H-Hey! Please don't stare at me like that!
Well?
I can't see with all this steam.
Oh, crap. Huh? Where's Yu?
What's up?
Don't go building stuff in the bath!
Kanji, can't you go higher?
Huh? Look, you, you're using someone's head. Don't gimme that attitude!
Is this as high as your head will go, Kanji?
I guess you're just a loser, then, huh?
Damn you! Teddie!
Whoa! Dumbass!
You guys...
You really haven't learned your lesson, have you?
H-Hold up, you guys! That murderous intent is overpowering!
At least let us explain!
What are you doing?
Uh, actually, this is...
H-Hold up! Calm down!
Don't shock us!
You guys...
I hate your guts!
Big Bro!
Big Bro, do you know what day it is today?
Beats me, what day is it again?
Huh? There are things that even you don't know?
Oh, there are tons. You sure are a know-it-all.
Will you tell me what day it is?
Okay! Sure! Um... you see, today is...
Valentine's Day!
You see, the big girls showed me how to make homemade chocolate!
Big Sis Chie told me to put some bacon in,
because there's no one who doesn't like meat.
N-Nanako...
Rise-chan said that personality was everything, so it should be really hot or sweet.
Since you're a grownup, Big Bro, I thought you'd like it to be bitter,
so I added some peppers and aojiru!
Nanako... Listen...
Big Sis Yukiko told me that adding some fish would give it a deeper flavor.
So I added some fish sausage and Dad's salty fish guts!
Nanako... Um...
You're not gonna eat it? It's gonna melt...
Listen, Big Bro...
Thank you for everything.
I love you!
Nanako... Big Bro...
...loves you, too!
I'm home! What's wrong? You look pretty awful.
Oh, it's nothing. You're early today, Uncle.
Well, I'm still not up to pushing myself too hard...
Is that right? Well, of course. You should take care of yourself...
Hey! Where you going? You're staggering...
I have an appointment.
You're late.
Sorry. Something came up.
Oh, um.... The others clued me in.
What day it is today. Girls are supposed to... um... tell whoever's dear to them
"I... I..."
"Th-Thank you" - this is the day they're supposed to tell them that, right?
Yes, that's what I heard.
Here...
What's this?
Y-You know what it is! Chocolate.
Chocolate?!
Wh-What's the matter? You'd better eat it now or it'll melt.
If it melts...
It'll escape...
Escape?!
There's no outlet in that room, so it might not taste too good.
But I did work hard to make it, so...
If you eat it... I-I'd be happy...
Marie...
Thank you.
I never thought you'd eat it all up. You're amazing.
Or are you a moron?
It's like something's squirming around inside..
I was able to come back, huh?
Don't ever go away again.
Who are you to talk? You're leaving yourself.
That's so unfair... dumbass... jerk...
That's true...
If only I could stay here... Forever...
Write a wish?
A wish, huh?
They wish for a world enshrouded in fog!
You can't fall here!
I...
My wish is...
