Someone's calling out to me right now
The weathervane is showing me the way
I sat down upon this hill along the way
And murmured about how nice it'd be to fly
I wanna fly away!
To seek the answer
I realized that even mistakes
And regret can become your wings
Feel the wind inside your body
And now spread your arms out wide
Straight into the sun
That's where I'm gonna fly right now
Escape the night of anguish
I'll fly further than I have
I can fly away! I can fly away!
What's beyond the Great Wall?
I don't know.
But there is one word that I know of.
What is it?
"Future."
That is what lies beyond the Great Wall.
Adroc said so.
Dad did?!
You know about my dad?!
What's wrong?
If you knew, you should have told me!
About what?
About my dad!
But... I thought you didn't want to hear about him that much, Renton.
He's my family! Anyone would want to hear about their family!
I don't understand that!
Why can't you understand?! Any normal human would know that!
I'm not human.
And we have news of Capitol Hill, which is once again completely cut off.
Capitol Hill is facing the greatest crisis in history since our arrival here.
In the 6 hours since the fierce battle began between...
the Coralians and the United Federations Forces led by Colonel Dewey Novac...
Making the Coralians appear at the capitol, and pretending to be the messiah...
Everything is going according to his plans, huh?
Holland, I know how you feel,
but right now we have to think about...
what we can do and what we need to do.
Dammit.
What we can do right now, huh?
EPISODE 38 DATE OF BIRTH
Do things like this happen often?
Well, I can't say that it never happens, but...
"Hm?" That's all you have to say?
You want to hear something else?
I mean, Eureka and I are going to cross the Great Wall, right?
You and Eureka, huh?
Well, do you have any advice or anything for me?
What do you want to do?
How do you want to end up with her?

What are you doing?
N-N-Nothing at all!
Suspicious. Super suspicious.
No! It's not what you think!
You've got it all wrong!
What's up?
What can I do now?
I can't operate an LFO or the ship, so what can I do?
Nothing more than tell the truth that is obvious to us.
But right now, the information that flows past my eyes from the mass media...
is what's sinking into people's hearts as the truth.
It's possible to set up a counterattack there.
But, in the end, a counterattack is all it is.
Besides, Dewey's already launched a counterattack...
against the old regime, the Sage Council.
I've missed my chance.
From here on, I need to come up with a different way to fight.
An unswaying truth to surpass the mainstream media and counterattacks!
What's wrong, Eureka?
Adroc...
We may right now be standing in a time of decision.
Do we follow the courage demonstrated by our hero Adroc Thurston...
and stand with Colonel Dewey to fight the Coralians or not.
That is the decision.
What do you think?
What do we think? Well...
Well, I really feel sorry for Renton,
but I don't know what I should do about it.
Well, we're about to have them cross the Great Wall, right?
If something were to happen between them...
Why don't you leave them alone?
I agree. Renton is a normal boy.
It'd be strange for him to not think about stuff like that.
I think what's important here is how Eureka feels about it all.
Of course, that's a given.
Um, just between us here, I was wondering...
What?
Oh, no, forget it. Better not to ask.
Come on, don't leave me hanging like that! Now I'm curious!
Oh, well, then...
Can those two... DO it?
You are the worst!
You can just get out of here right now!
Wait a minute, hold on here!
This is something important for Renton.
I've had it!
I was a fool to ask you guys for advice!
Let's go, Gidget.
A family, huh? I see. That's a tough question.
It's tough?
Because there is no right answer.
Besides, like Renton, I barely remember my dad's face at all.
I'm one of those so-called war orphans.
War orphans...
Yeah, so I understand why Renton would get all worked up about it,
while also understanding why...
you don't understand why he's upset, Eureka.
Do I really belong at Renton's side?
Is it really all right for me to stay aboard this ship?
Eureka?
What's wrong, Eureka? Are you all right?
Hey, what happened?!
She can't get a clear line of communication with Renton.
She couldn't get a clear line...
of communication?
If you don't want to, it's all right for you to say no!
If he's persistent about it, you can punch him, too!
What are you talking about?
Look, let's go to my room, okay?
Gidget?
It's all right. Things like this should be talked out just between girls.
What's up with them?
I'd never thought about how I'd like to end up with Eureka.
Come to think of it, how did Dad and Mom hit it off?
If they hadn't dated and gotten married and stuff like that,
I wouldn't have been born.
That's right. Never born!
What's up, you two?
Um, well!
Relax.
We're on your side.
This is the shortest route to the Vodarac shrine that Norb gave us.
VODARA SHRINE This is the shortest route to the Vodarac shrine that Norb gave us.
The problem, as expected, is refueling along the way.
I can give you some options off the top of my head about that.
What worries me is how the military is moving around in that area.
It's just a matter of time till he uses this uproar to take over the capitol.
Still, not everyone in the military is going to back his coup d'état.
Those who oppose him will be put away in a hurry.
His actions are obvious, especially looking at this coup d'état.
I'd say two weeks at the most for him to replace everyone...
all the way out to the rural state forces.
We'd like to arrive before that happens.
Talho, come to the sick bay when you get a chance.
Roger. I'll be right over.
You too, Holland.
Why do I have to?
You're the father, right?
Holland!
What's wrong, Eureka?
Holland, you were a dad?
No, I'm going to become one.
How?
Yeah, how?
You need dads, right?
Dads are important, right? That's why!
I wouldn't know until I become one.
Maybe that's why Renton was so aggressive.
What?
Maybe Renton really wants to be a dad himself!
RENTON! Where the hell are you?!
Any wave starts from the most petty things.
Hot!
"She'll Be Charmed! The Ultimate Room"
Um, guys, what are you up to?
Leave it to us.
Yeah.
Damn you... What did you do to Eureka?!
And as those things build up,
perhaps they'll form a giant wave that will overturn the world.
Perhaps...
So, that's what's going on.
I've only known Sis and Gramps as far as I can remember.
I never thought Eureka knew Dad at all, so I couldn't help it.
I really thought that I hated my dad, and yet!
He abandoned his family and spent all his time researching.
I've never even seen his face.
But...
I didn't realize how much I wanted to know about my dad!
Then you have to talk to her.
Go ahead and hear it from Eureka's mouth.
About your dad, Adroc Thurston.
It's coming along well.
Okay, you can get up now.
Amazing...
But that's family.
Every one starts with feelings of affection.
Affection...
Yup. And when it turns into true love, a new life is born.
Amazing... Humans are so amazing.
Eureka.
I don't hear anything.
They haven't started to talk yet.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry about yelling at you earlier.
It wasn't your fault, Renton.
No, it's my fault.
It's not.
I'm the one at fault.
Eureka...
I mean, it's because I don't know anything.
Family, parents, siblings...
I don't know anything about those things.
That's why I didn't realize...
Adroc was such an important person to you, Renton!
And so...
I really am the worst.
I should have known...
you wouldn't understand things like that, Eureka.
And I made you worry about it so much like this!
Renton...
I was acting so high and mighty and said I would protect you, Eureka...
But I failed.
I don't deserve to sit next to you.
Adroc once said the same thing.
Yeah.
My dad did?
It was before I was assigned to the SOF.
Adroc was the lead researcher...
in the project analyzing me and Nirvash.
He was always at my side.
I didn't know anything, so he taught me how to talk,
how to act, how to control Nirvash...
And other things. He taught me so many things.
And he'd always tell me...
"I'll protect you."
Dad did?
But one day, Adroc said..."I failed."
The Summer of Love...
Back then, I didn't understand the meaning of the words that Adroc said.
But even now, I remember them clearly.
He said, "I don't deserve to sit next to you."
"I have children that I need to protect."
"And so I can't let this world come to an end."
He said "I'm sorry."
That was the last day I spent with Adroc.
When I regained consciousness, it was all over.
I think Adroc did it to save everyone here. The entire world.
And surely... to save me, too.
They're both crying.
Wait, what... What's going on?
Stay still.
Hey... Leader?
Shut up.
Dad was thinking about us after all.
Dad didn't forget about me, or Gramps, or anyone else...
Renton.
Dad really did save us!
Yeah!
The reason I was able to meet you, Eureka,
was because Dad protected you.
Because Dad was there, I...
I just figured it out, Renton.
To protect your children, even if it means your own death...
That's what a father is.
That's what a family is, right?
Eureka...
Then, that means... Adroc...
...is my dad!
And now they're laughing.
What's going on?
What are you guys doing?
Leader, I have something to discuss with you.
You see, I want to use this as the cover photo...
for the first renewal issue of ray=out.
I believe that this photo is where the truth lies.
The sight of Eureka, a Coralian, and Renton, a human,
riding on one board together.
I believe that this is the truth that may become hope for people.
Something beyond the mainstream or the counter strike.
Still, I don't want to hurt either of your feelings...
by using this as the cover, so if you don't want me to...
It's fine.
I'm fine with it. Yeah, I'm happy about it.
What about you?
I'm happy, too. Please, go ahead and use it.
Then that's decided.
You're fine with it, Leader?
Fine or not, you're in charge of ray=out.
What, what? Whatcha doin'?
Let us in, let us in!
Hey, this picture!
Hey, lemme see! Lemme see!
A family, huh?
Reporting! The rebel force led by Dewey Novac...
has used poison gas in the lower floors!
We'd like you three to evacuate from this place at once!
To think that he'd even use the Coralians...
Didn't he consider whether a bloodless revolution was possible?
This is all because you kept the truth hidden from us.
Exploiting the truth is not the only way to gain happiness.
The reverse can also happen.
It was too late.
When the Ageha report came in,
there already were too many people in this living land.
So many that we could not all board the ark...
which had guided us to this planet.
Are you going to release us from this pain...
of having hidden the truth from the masses?
Kill us and you will bear the burden of that lie yourself.
If that's the level of determination you require...
From the moment we let you out of your cell,
I wondered how long it would be for you to do this...
Dewey Novac.
