According to the history of glasses development,
in the past they researched many techniques for projection.
These dolls represent you and me.
So you won't forget about us.
I won't.
And you as well, Yuko, don't forget about me.
It appears he's picked up a lot of bugs, because he stayed in obsolete Space for a long time.
Will he get better?
Will he?
If we let him rest, I guess he'll get better.
I see... Thank goodness.
Okay, Granny. Take care of him then.
Late! Late!
Oh, just in time!
I was about to be late for the opening ceremony!
Armageddon!
Nope... I got the wrong school!
She's here!
I have something to ask you.
What do you want this time?!
In exchange, I'll give you some good information.
Morning!
Morning.
Did you finish the homework?
I did it just in time.
What's wrong?
You look pale.
It's nothing.
C'mon! Or you'll be late!
Even so,
to build an elementary school on the top floor of a building like this...
In Japan, Daikoku City is the second example of a semi-governamental prefecture.
That's why there are many unique political measures.
According to some people,
this building is part of the Megamass conglomerate.
Yasako...
We can't tell Aiko and the others yet, right?
About Haraken.
Yup... But when I called Aunty this morning,
she said he's still sleeping.
She also said he opened his eyes once,
so for the moment we can assume he's all right.
But that's good news!
I hope he gets better soon.
Hey, look!
Those are the kids from the other side of the station.
Haraken...
Thanks to the reorganization, we're finally in the same class, but...
Too bad he's absent today.
Maybe he's sick?
Perhaps he just caught a summer cold.
I'm sure he'll come back in perfect health.
So, what about the independent research?
Perfect.
Look!
Oh! It came out pretty nice!
Oh...
It's exactly the same as what I saw on TV last time.
Did you watch that?!
Don't tell me you copied all of it?!
D-Don't make me look bad!
I just took it as my inspiration!
And about one third of this is completely original!
For example here...
I wonder why Haraken hasn't opened his eyes.
The encode I used the other day might've been incomplete.
Amasawa...
The phenomenon called Dennou Coil...
The reason why you lose consciousness
when the cyberbody separates is still unknown.
My encode was just trying to emulate the one used in the past.
But don't worry,
the link to his cyberbody was restored perfectly.
His consciousness will certainly come back to this side.
I am responsible
for what happened to him.
I feel sorry for him.
Amasawa...
What happened to your brother?
The existence of my brother has been concealed from the public.
The fact that my brother lost consciousness because of Imago...
was very inconvenient for Megamass.
Why did he lose consciousness?
I don't remember what happened back then very well.
Because I lost consciousness too.
I heard about it second-hand from someone who tried to find my brother.
I know that it was Miss Michiko who kidnapped my brother.
Does Miss Michiko
really exist?
I don't know either.
And,
I promised I wouldn't speak about this to others.
Don't go near obsolete Space anymore.
Both the passage and the Null react to Imago.
In fact, Imago becomes ineffective in updated Space.
So, if you don't go into obsolete Space, you won't be at risk.
Amasawa...
The encode you gave me last time...
Did you need it to rescue your brother?
This is none of your business.
Anyway,
I don't expect anything from the use of kirabugs anymore.
It was uncertain from the start,
so in any case I'll look for another way.
And then, Gacha and me, we beat Satchii!
Idiot!
How can that possibly be true?!
That's nonsense.
Not only that!
Isako, with the kirabugs...
Idiot!
This loose tongue of yours will harm you one day!
That again...
What on earth is this sensation?
Here. Starting today,
the kids from First Elementary will be studying with us.
Everybody, be kind to them and don't fight!
Okay, here are the print-outs.
It's a very important notice, so make sure you show it at home.
I think you were all surprised that they're wearing uniforms...
But for this year, we'll keep the status quo.
Nevertheless, I think that wearing a uniform makes you look more serious.
I'd like you from the Third to take a lesson from those kids.
Especially Daichi!
How can you be so late for the beginning of the new semester?!
You'd expect nothing less from a new building!
It's shining!
Is there any meaning in cleaning it?
You're strong!
It's just that our previous building was too old.
I prefer comfort, indeed.
I'd prefer to sweep them!
Takeru?
Takeru!
Yasako!
Long time no see!
Now that I recall it, you were attending Third, right?
Yes. For half a year, we'll be together in the same school.
Did you find the place you were looking for?
Nope...
A lot happened since we last met.
Sorry, someone's waiting for me.
Oh, really?
I'll mail you later.
Bye.
W-Who's that guy?
Yasako certainly is brave.
In no time she-
Those kids are
the ones from back then...
Sosuke,
I'm sure there are more kirabugs around.
Let's look for an obsolete Space.
Listen to me, Yuko.
Don't make a move now.
I'm in the middle of complex negotiations with the head office.
What do you mean?
I can't tell you the details now.
Anyway, don't make a move. I'm hanging up now.
Wait! Sosuke!
Sosuke!
Again!
Maybe this...
Someone is...!
Those guys!
Who the heck are you guys?
An encode?!
Damn you! Where did you learn that encode?!
Let go of me!
No!
Teacher!
A girl from the Third is bullying a boy!
Stop! Give me back that doll!
Hey, what's wrong?!
That chick is much more capable than I thought.
What do we do, boss?
What did Aunty say?
Haraken hasn't awakened yet.
But Amasawa said there's nothing to worry about.
She made sure of it through an encode...
Yasako,
do you really believe that?
I don't know what happened afterwards,
but why did you suddenly become Isako's friend?
Friend, you say?
But she did help me out.
You're so credulous!
Don't you get it?
All of this may be Isako's act.
What do you mean?
Also the story about Isako's brother...
Do you really know how much of it is true?
And the one who opened that passage
was always Isako, wasn't she?
It's not out of the question that she summoned those Illegals.
Since that time,
I've been investigating what Aunty said.
The first Illegals...
Fumie...
Those Illegals tried to take Kyoko and Haraken away!
Trying to take those kids to the other side...
This means that...
Yasako, be very careful.
Don't let your guard down around Isako.
Fumie...
I don't want anything to do with this anymore.
Sorry.
Some say that kirabugs are a part of Miss Michiko's body
transformed into a substance for this world.
Miss Michiko?
The reason why kirabugs accumulate in the Illegals
is still unclear.
There's no doubt
that someone is behind Isako.
Now that I've been fired,
there's nothing more I can do.
But
Amasawa did save Haraken.
That's true.
As his guardian, I'm a failure.
I tried to confiscate his glasses once.
But Ken used Kanna's glasses.
Kanna's...?
He was a victim of the Dennou Coil phenomenon.
That's exactly what I feared, so I even brought five Satchii...
I feel so stupid.
Your father really chewed me out.
Sorry about that.
You don't need to apologize.
Aunty...
What happened to
Amasawa's brother?
His soul, like his cyberbody,
ended up on "the other side."
To tell you the truth, we weren't able to verify it.
There were a few suspicious circumstances,
and when I tried to ask the hospital,
they said to ask Megamass.
In this hospital, just like in the municipal offices,
there are many people connected to Megamass.
I think a lot hasn't been revealed yet.
Come on, go home now.
The sun is about to set.
Aunty...
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I should be thanking you.
Okay, then. I'll come back again.
When Haraken wakes up, let me know at once.
By the way!
They told me that Ken drew this when he woke up earlier.
Any idea?
No, I don't.
If that was the last chance
for Amasawa to save her brother...
I wonder if there's something I can do.
And then, that dream...
There must be some clue in it.
A clue that has something to do with me...
Was that just my imagination?
Sachiko said she'll be able to come back soon.
What's wrong?
Aren't you happy?
Not especially.
The way you talk
is just like Sachiko.
I think you can stay here as long as you like.
Really.
But it seems you don't like me at all.
You don't even try on any of the dresses I bought for you.
Well,
I actually think that when Sachiko's business is over, you should go back to live in Kanazawa with her.
Wait!
I'm not done talking to you!
I'm off.
I'm off!
Take care of Densuke!
Memorial?
Densuke! What's a memorial?
If you help her, you'll be taken away by Michiko too.
Good morning!
What's up, Amasawa?
What? Did something happen?
Maybe this encoder is...
Amasawa!
Yesterday, I had a dream and...
Stay away from me.
If you speak to me, you'll be cursed, you know?
So never come near me again.
That goes for all of you!
Shinigami.
It's Michiko!
Isako has summoned Michiko!
Who do you want to take to the other side next?
If you don't watch out for Isako, you'll become a sacrificial victim!
Amasawa?
Where are you going?
Yasako, you'd better not have anything to do with her anymore.
Hey, look!
The Mystery Club's page...
It's been updated!
This is...
This must be... Isako!
Hey! Yasako, where are you going?!
No response...
Sosuke! Why won't you answer?
So, you can't contact your superior.
Who are you?
Where are you?
Why can't you contact him?
Who the heck are you?
You're being abandoned.
You'll be charged with all the crimes.
Catch it!
Do you think it's a lie?
Then you just have to go check the hospital.
Yasako...
Oh, Akira.
What's this all about?!
Why?!
Why doesn't it open?!
This is just...
Amasawa is always on her guard with everyone,
so I thought it might end up like this.
Listen,
both of us saw Amasawa's brother last time, didn't we?
Y-Yes.
For some reason,
I began to have doubts about that myself.
Regarding the visit,
please take a look at this.
These are screens from back then.
Both the movies and the still pictures have disappeared.
Disappeared?
Yes, I felt like I'd been tricked by a fox.
I even wondered if I had dreamt it all.
But why?
This happened once before.
It was when my Micett encountered another of the same type.
Maybe,
that other one is the key to all this.
The hospital...
I'm sure Amasawa will go to the hospital now!
Yasako?
Whatever the case,
I wonder whose pet this is.
It's no use.
Your account doesn't exist anymore.
Because there's nobody in that room.
What are you...
talking about?
Recently,
haven't you had stronger headaches and more dizziness?
Imago is an unstable technique that is not totally understood.
Apparently, it's habit-forming.
It's impossible to avoid side effects.
Especially when it tampers with human memories.
What do you mean?!
Your brother is not in this hospital.
And leaving aside this hospital, he isn't anywhere in this world.
What the hell
are you talking about?
Your brother, Nobuhiko Amasawa,
died a few years ago.
W-What?
You were being used for an experiment,
Yuko Amasawa.
Shut up!
Shit...
How can this...
How...
Absurd...
That is not a sterilized room or anything.
It's a 3D projection of an obsolete image.
Impossible...
You've been tricked all this time.
For an investigation about obsolete Space.
We had you believing that you could save your brother,
and exploited you.
This can't...
Can't be...
You're not needed anymore,
Yuko Amasawa.
You'll be arrested.
The case of Ken'ichi Harakawa,
the case of the fainting kids,
and then also the case of Kanna Ashihara...
You'll be charged with all of them.
It can't be true!
My brother can't already be dead!
So, you betrayed me...
You did betray me!
Sosuke!
What is this pain?!
Next time
on Dennou Coil:
The Last Coil.
See you next time!
