Looks okay.
We can go out.

Cornered
In ancient times, the people who built a tower to reach God received divine punishment.
Perhaps we are to be handed the same punishment.
Are you mocking me?!
Damn Lost Millennium...
I found the key to the world that nobody else could find.
I am the savior of this world!
What humiliation, what torture!
I found you after all.
You certainly are stubborn, #152589.
The world lives on by feeding on the love and lives of countless girls.
How cruel, ugly, and delicate this world is...
Do you hold a grudge?
Or are you pretending to be God, #141923?
I realize my position.
He is our only God.
Then what do you propose we do, O proud and noble Grand Priestess?
A series of self-similar entities that repeat forever.
A world in which the elements encompass the whole and each layer complements every other layer:
Fractale.
Its purpose is to grant wishes and placate the greed of the people within it.
Therefore I, the Grand Priestess, am left with but a single option.
The world is currently in danger of ruin.
The branches of the great Fractale tree supporting the world are withering,
and its ability to bear fruit is slipping away.
The members of the Lost Millennium movement are the ones bearing the axes.
Each of those axes may be small, but even a great tree will fall if endlessly hacked at.
They can no longer be tolerated.
The world wishes for their deaths!
Aren't you guys the people from the airship parked outside of town?
Miss!
In the name of Fractale, put their souls to eternal rest!
Her fever isn't going down at all.
Phryne, how are you doing yourself?
I'm fine.
But I'm worried for your health.
After what you've been through, you should rest a little.
Wha-
In that case, Clain, will you sleep with me?
I don't want to have nightmares.
So...
Phryne...
Nessa hates being left out.
Nessa!
Are you sure?!
Yeah, an edict from the Grand Priestess.
It's a trump card the temple hasn't played in 300 years!
Brother, we're in deep trouble!
In the city, we heard-
What's Lime saying?
We'll have to deal with it our-
It's going down little by little.
Phryne, your hand feels nice and cold.
I'm glad my hands are cold.
You two really look like real sisters doing that.
Or I guess you really are sisters?
Wait, you two are... uh...
Do you want to know about Nessa and me?
You're the one who's been avoiding the issue.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Nessa was the first girl who looked just like me.
The personality that we call "God" residing in the girl's body is the soul.
The soul?
I, on the other hand, am the body, the physical medium created to house that soul.
They say the key will be born when the body and the memories come together.
That key is what will allow Fractale, which will soon collapse from entropy accumulation, to reboot.
You talked about coming together.
How do you do that?
I don't know.
But when it happens, I'm sure neither Nessa nor I...
...will be ourselves anymore.
You won't be yourselves?
What do you mean?
Are you going to die?
I don't-
Nessa!
She melted...
Nessa's going to disappear!
It hurts, and it's sad...
She didn't want to disappear!
Nessa doesn't want sadness!
Nessa doesn't want pain!
Nessa doesn't want to disappear!
Calm down, Nessa.
Tell me, Clain!
Is Nessa also going to disappear?
Is Nessa going to go away?
You'll be fine.
I know.
I know what kind of girl you are, what you like, and what you don't like.
I know how you get mad and how you laugh.
To me, you're you, Nessa,
and Phryne is Phryne.
You're both special and dear to me.
I can feel your touch right now, Nessa.
How about you?
Do you feel mine?
Clain's right here...
I don't really understand it...
But doesn't this kind of thing make you happy?
Miss!
W-What's wrong, Takami?
We're in trouble. The townspeople are here.
I'm sorry, but please leave immediately.
Are you going to play along with the temple's threats?
If they find out we've been negotiating with you, they'll stop allocating Donay to us.
How can we disobey them?
Don't you realize that's wrong?
They plant terminals in you and control your lives.
We're just saying that the whole system is wrong and that we should change things back!
Are you telling us to die?
No, no, no!
We just want to live like normal humans!
But you've killed people for that.
They said you demolished the temple's laboratory.
Is it true?
That was-
It's true.
Murderers!
You're going to destroy Fractale and kill us too!
You murderers, get out of our city!
Leave, murderers!
They're all only human.
They're so frank that it's shocking...
And so human that it's saddening.
Sunda.
About what the temple is doing...
It's probably a message telling us to hand you guys over.
I know that.
But if we hand you guys over, we have no chance of winning.
Fractale will reboot and this world will live on forever.
Am I wrong?
Probably not...
Then don't worry.
It's not like I'm doing this for you-
What did you say?!
What's wrong?
The village, our village!
The temple's army is...
They've been to Vofely, Diorite, Greywacke, and Granitz.
It seems Greywacke was hit particularly hard.
That's why I said we should've just let things play out!
Yeah...
I'm disappointed to see our first big conference in 50 years come to this.
Now, if there is no opposition...
I object.
The temple's indiscriminate actions show just how bad of a panic they are in.
Why would we need to retreat now?
But...
Yeah! Now's the time to fight!
We can't just sit here and lose!
Some faction you have there.
I'm guessing there was a point in destroying that laboratory after all.
But what will you do?
Do you have a strategy in mind?
Sunda, you hold the key to rebooting Fractale.
Am I right?
Is that true?
Hey, Granitz.
And if I do?
Do you understand now?
The temple and Fractale have lost their raison d'être.
In other words, their existence is now meaningless.
There is no reason for what need not exist to exist.
Now is the time for us all to turn the tables on them after 1,000 years of waiting!
Miss!
The results of the big conference are in!
What's going to happen?
A showdown!
All forces of every Lost Millennium branch are to assemble for an all-out assault on the temple!
Get all the guns out!
It's a showdown!
Can I have a moment?
What is it?
Lost Millennium is trying to destroy the world as we know it, right?
Yeah.
What's going to happen after that?
What do you think would be best?
What kind of a world do you want?
I don't know, it's the whole world.
I do think the temple is wrong, though.
Should I fight too?
Should I go with you all?
Stick to what you're used to.
But...
I'll make it an order if necessary.
Clain, stay in this village and protect Phryne and Nessa at all costs.
I'm leaving them both in this village.
We can't have them taken back by the monastery, after all.
Besides, this is a fight for Lost Millennium.
You are friends with me, Enri, and the people of this village.
But you aren't one of us.
You understand, don't you?
Oh, there is one more job for you.
Stand a little closer together.
Or you won't be in the photo!
Smile, Nessa!
Wait up!
You're late!
What were you doing, Takami?
I was bringing him over.
As punishment for being late...
You'll both be at the edge. Got it?
The Miss is harsh as always, don't you think, Butcher?
"Don't you think, Butcher?"
That's all of us.
Go ahead, Clain.
Here I go, then!
Daddy, I don't want you to go!
Make sure you give the photos to Grandma.
Sure.
Wait, what about you?
Do you think my brother could stop me?
Good point.
By the way, uh... C-Clain!
What?
Well, uh...
What's wrong?
If you need the bathroom, the Danan-
Not that , you pervert!
A punch? You'd punch me for just that?
Shut up!
A punch, a punch!
Do something about your perversion before we come back! Got that?!
How the heck am I going to do that?!
Pervert, pervert!
Why can they all laugh?
Aren't they scared?
That's why they laugh.
They laugh because they're scared.
So they are scared of dying.
But what they fear even more is dying without being able to protect their loved ones.
Let Clain protect you here in the village so you don't die either.
I see.
I'll let him protect me to the best of his ability.
It's time!
All crew members, board ship!
Set engine output to half.
Accelerate slowly.
Accelerating slowly.
Danan, take off!
Moshi wasureta tegami wa
If the letter I had forgotten
Dareka no te todoku koro
Should have reached someone's hand
Higasa kururi mawashita
Parasols would have turned round and round
Sora ni wa hiru no hoshi
Under the day star in the sky
Yubikiri shita yubi wo kamikiri satte iku kage wo
The shadow gnawed off the fingers we used for our promise and fled
Oikakete wa yoake ni mayoi higure ni hagureta
We chased it, but lost our way at dawn and were separated at dusk
Hiru no hoshi ni negai wo sasagu nara
If I were to offer a wish to the day star
Itsuka no madoakari tomoshiteta
I would wish for light to come through the window someday
It's so pretty.
Yes.
There are many different people in this world.
Those who want Fractale, those who hate Fractale,
and those who would fight to destroy or protect it.
But regardless of those people's wishes, the world is still beautiful.
Clain.
Clain, what will you wish for from the day star?
I'd wish that I can be with everyone forever...
I guess.
Then it'll come true!
Because Clain and Nessa and Phryne will be together
fooorrrrrrrever...
...and be really happy!
Am I right?
Indeed.
Yes.
Hey, Clain.
To be honest, I don't know either.
I don't know why I decided to leave Nessa with you when we first met.
But it wasn't a mistake.
That's what I think.
Nessa is the me when I was still beautiful, and if she can be with you forever, I'll be fine.
So I'm leaving.
If anybody has a chance of convincing Grand Priestess Moeran or my father,
it would surely be me, for I am half of the key.
I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything.
But since this all started because I left the temple,
I believe I have to go back and end it.
It was you, Clain, who made me feel that I could... that I want to do this.
You, Nessa, and everyone else.
I'm grateful to you all.
Thank you.
With love, Phryne.
Didn't the three of us just agree we'd always be together?!
Yet she just decides everything on her own!
She's using all these pretty words, but she hasn't learned at all!
Selfish, stubborn, and no different from when we first met!
Hey, Clain, what are you going to do?
Do? Do?! I don't care about Phryne anymore!
One thousand needles!
Liars have to swallow them!
Nessa loves Phryne.
She was a little scary at first, but now Nessa really, really loves her.
Nessa wants her around.
Clain, don't you love Phryne?
I-I...
Nessa loves love, is really happy, and really loves happiness!
How about you, Clain?
Yeah, I love her!
I love Phryne!
Damn it, Phryne's so stupid!
Finally.
To all airships, prepare for combat.
Commence fire upon entering range.
I repeat, commence fire.
Open all ports!
Fire!
Just wait, Phryne.
I'll catch you no matter what.
And this time, I won't let you go.
Listen.
Both you and the world will be in deep trouble if you're caught.
Are you still going?
Yes, because we promised.
We promised we'd be together forever!
All right.
Here we go, Nessa!
Whoopteedoo!
Down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley Gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish
With her did not agree
But I was young and foolish
And now I am full of tears
