According to rumors on the net,
the process of creating and developing the glasses
encompasses a complex history with many interesting points.
Take me...
Take me to "the other side"!
Don't mind them!
Just chase Isako!
It's me, Nekome! Don't forget the plan!
Wait for the passage to open!
I'm still convinced we shouldn't let her open the passage!
What?!
If we catch her in the act, we can end the story without further risk!
Shoot at Isako's cyberbody!
What?
The attack came from inside the system?
Terrible!
Tama! Stop!
How about the passage?
It's opening up...
What about the link?
It hasn't connected yet.
What happened?
Late...
Is it possible she lied?
Kanna...
Maybe the passage already opened?
Destroy the encodes around here!
Please make it in time...
That guy...
I told him not to move without permission!
If the encode is destroyed,
I won't be able to control where the passage leads to!
Crap!
If that guy enters first...
Kanna...
This is...
the passage!
What a difficult encode...
Stop firing!
I got it wrong...
This is an encode to control the position of the passage!
The passage!
The passage...
opened up?
Kanna...
The passage opened!
The link?
It hasn't connected yet.
Find the passage.
Finally...
Finally I can meet you!
Kanna!
Oh no!
Haraken!
Yasako...
He's here...
He's around here!
It's this way!
Kanna!
I...
Haraken!
Crap! Where is it?
It's there!
Kanna!
It's closing...
It will close up!
What the hell...
Haraken!
The passage...
This...
Haraken!
Your cyberbody is...
shifting!
Just like back then!
Wait!
Don't cut the power now.
Until you come back,
never take the glasses off.
Yasako...
Take the metatag out of my pocket...
The black one.
This?
The shift is...
reversing.
So there wasn't any change.
I couldn't control the location,
but at least the passage opened!
I hope everything goes well!
This one.
The passage has opened once.
It must've dissolved.
Oh?
What's going on?
Another accident?
Look. The crossing light is totally messed up.
Anyway, I stopped Isako for now.
Retreat for now!
Yeah...
The passage did open,
but the link wasn't established.
Continue to monitor the area.
Too bad.
This has become a big problem.
Are you okay,
Haraken?
Haraken...
Do you have any physical symptoms?
S-Sorry.
If you don't want to talk about it...
It's okay.
I'm sorry, too.
Since about a year ago,
sometimes my heart doesn't function properly.
The famous...
dizziness?
Yeah.
In fact, it's my heart.
But,
recently I had a complete examination at the university hospital.
They didn't find any specific illness.
My aunt is very worried.
She says it's all the fault of the glasses.
Of the glasses?
She says she wants to confiscate my glasses.
Although she's got a one-track mind about glasses.
Strange, isn't it?
Say...
That story about Amasawa's older brother...
She says he ended up on "the other side" and can't come back anymore.
Haraken, do you believe it?
Urban legends, and so on...
It's not something people usually believe in.
Well, not exactly...
Haraken,
do you want to meet Kanna?
I'm sorry for Kanna.
But you suffered for a whole year,
so now...
Haraken?
Yasako.
How come you know about this?
You weren't there a year ago.
Even now,
Kanna is still in that place,
asking for help.
I have to work it out.
I'm not saying
you should believe me.
W-Wait!
I didn't mean it like that!
Ken?
Why was Ken where Isako opened a passage?
It can't be true...
Haraken!
If there's something I can do,
anything, please tell me!
We're friends after all.
Haraken,
I'm...
I just...
want you to leave me alone.
The independent research is all a lie.
Haraken...
Yasako, thank you.
You called me before, didn't you?
Somehow, that saved me.
Sorry.
Entirely destroyed, three units.
Severely damaged, one unit.
A damage report won't be enough for this.
Oh, hi.
So the damage really was done from the inside.
From the inside?
But this-
...is impossible without the access code.
Ken...
Yasako!
What've you been doing?
I called you so many times!
I couldn't even contact Haraken,
and I was so worried!
Yasako?
Did something happen?
So, that one...
is really Kanna.
Save me...
You've been there all the time...
You're suffering.
Even now.
I'm the cause of your pain.
I gotta go there again.
Aunty!
Why?
Why did you do such a thing?
Ken, is it really so important to you?
Tell me the truth.
I wanted to enter
the obsolete Space.
If I don't go...
If I don't go, Kanna's suffering will never end!
Ken...
Kanna's dead.
The one who made her die...
is me.
Ken.
At the end, when we had a fight,
I said
to Kanna,
"Don't always count on me."
"Try to do things by yourself."
And then...
Then Kanna went out alone and...
And despite this...
I promised Kanna's mother I'd find out the truth,
as if I was a good boy...
I'm...
Auntie!
Give them back!
Give them back to me!
How could I possibly
give you to someone who's dead.
Indeed...
The passage opening isn't sufficient, huh...
I lost control of the encode.
It opened in a different place than expected,
so I didn't get there in time.
In the plan, weren't you supposed to stop the Space Administration agents?
Sorry...
Tamako ignored the plan.
Just to be sure, I placed some traps inside Satchii...
But the passage opened anyway.
Why didn't the link appear?
Even we don't know much about the passage.
Basically, we're just recreating what the professor did.
Maybe
the encode is wrong?
We already had a ping response from this, in the past.
There's no doubt it's the right one.
How many kirabugs do you have left?
As planned,
I only left one piece
to reinforce the passage.
If I use it...
No, it's too dangerous right now.
The Space is still unstable,
and the result may be unpredictable.
What are you planning to do,
Nekome?
Until the Space returns to normal,
perhaps by tonight,
there's a danger that the passage will open once again.
What?
Thank you for taking me home.
Yasako, can I sleep here tonight?
Oh?
Tonight you're alone with Kyoko, right?
Your parents are at a relative's marriage,
and Mega-baa is out traveling, right?
Yes, but...
It's not because I'm worried about you!
It's just that I want to sleep over.
Fumie...
And you'll tell me a lot of things about today.
Come on, liven up!
We are still receiving the ping response.
Thanks to the special link the kirabug contains,
the obsolete Space changes its form, and so the passage opens.
But from the data collected today,
we learned that the trigger is not just the kirabug.
What do you mean?
There is another unknown factor.
The passage opens because of that trigger.
Now that we don't have a control encode,
we don't know where will it open.
That's absurd!
So it will happen like it did a year ago!
Not really.
This trigger occurs rarely.
Otherwise, it would have occurred more often in the past.
We have to wait.
We've got to wait for the data-
No way!
Anyway,
I don't want to cause something like that...
That's why I collected so many...
Wait!
What do you want to...?
Since her parents aren't home today,
I thought I'd better sleep at her place, for her sake.
It's summer vacation, so there's no problem, right?
Uh, yeah. There's only Kyoko.
Okay.
I heard a voice.
Stop it! I can't stand scary stuff!
It's strange.
There's no alteration in the Space at all.
Maybe...
if it opens in an unknown place,
what happened the last time
could happen again.
I can't search everywhere randomly!
You!
Patrol the obsolete Space!
Inform me at once if something happens!
Go!
Hey, Kyoko...
Be quiet already.
No! If you don't dry your hair, you'll catch a cold!
Come on, come!
Densuke is sleeping by your side,
so don't crush him.
He's not answering...
Did he really say so?
That the independent research is a lie?
What's on his mind?
I thought he was a good boy, but now...
He is.
Do you know the urban legend about a body shifting?
The story about ending up to "the other side"?
Today,
Haraken's body shifted.
Eh?
His cyberbody and his real one.
Crap, are you trying to scare me?
I really hate that stuff.
I didn't mean to do that.
Yasako,
what happened at the crossing?
I saw it.
I saw a thing like a black keyhole.
Maybe...
Exactly like those kids' drawings?
I don't know...
But it's not a simple image.
That black keyhole doesn't just belong to cyberspace.
If it's not just an image, then what on earth is it?
It has an impact on our consciousness.
Cut it out...
The illness Haraken is experiencing
is not a normal illness.
From that black hole,
from the middle of that hole,
something is calling Haraken!
Yasako, I told you to stop it already!
The inside of that black hole
is certainly linked to another world.
If those kids' drawings are really what they saw...
On the other side there are dead people.
St-Stop it!
How could that possibly be?
Yasako, you're strange!
Fumie...
That stuff is nothing more than an urban legend!
I
remembered.
Lately...
This is not
the first time
I saw that black hole.
I saw it before.
When I was little,
I was wearing glasses, and I went looking for Densuke...
I thought it was a dream.
But...
I'm certain that something is there!
There's a secret hidden in that black hole!
A-A blackout?
The glasses are working...
Why is there fog here?!
Densuke!
Evening glow?
Kyoko?!
What is...
this?
Kyoko!
Next time
on Dennou Coil:
The black visitor.
See you next time!
