The love which ends with the first light
Streaming in on the dreamy morning
Starting tomorrow, we go our separate ways
So abruptly, we can't prepare our hearts
Was there something
We knew which could not wither away?
Cherry blossoms falling everywhere
Saying with your voice
Goodbye, fall in love
Cherry blossom, cherry blossom
Forget all your tears
Starting now, fall in love
Does the message reach you now?
Get off.
Don't you understand me telling you to get off?!
That's my bed!
This is yours!
Honestly, who brought him here?
The colonel?
Stop that. Don't think any further.
Right now, my priority is finding a girl to replace Anemone.
You've gained weight again, haven't you?
EPISODE 44 IT'S ALL IN THE MIND
Something wrong?
Just how long are you going to make me wait?!
There's a large thundercloud ahead and the control tower won't clear us for landing.
How many minutes has it been since we entered the skies above Warsaw?!
If you're in such a hurry, feel free to use...
one of the small high-speed pods, like you did before.
You're no help.
Captain.
Request landing clearance from the control tower.
There's a small break in the clouds now.
Sir!
How long are they going to tie me down here?!
Holland!
They must know the danger if we don't hurry!
For now, I want you to rest! Please!
I want to do everything I can before it's too late!
So, please! Let me... go...
Thanks.
When you say that, I feel somewhat apologetic for some reason.
Mischa.
LFOs of that type before the advent of limiters
required the pilots to take both a neuro-stimulant...
and another drug to force a state of slumber after piloting the vehicle.
An awful legacy from the dawn of the humanoid mobile machines.
They're machines that, by all rights, should be sealed away.
Although we're hardly ones to talk,
seeing how we were partially responsible for their development.
But the truth is we have to shoot down the AFX, right?
Yes.
But at this rate, Holland will die.
I know. I know, but...
I mustn't stop him!
But...
We can't give up now!
Not until the very end.
I think going any further is dangerous.
For now, let's go back to that spring we found.
I don't want to go back.
You all are tired, right?
My butt hurts.
I want to get out.
Are you listening?
Look.
It's awful.
Ten years since the civil war ended and it's still like this?
Those who can't wait for the rebuilding...
become refugees and move to other states.
So this is what happens to a tower-state after the tower falls...
Um, Lieutenant Dominic?
Stop here.
I'll be right back.
What's he doing?
That's not something I'd ever expect a former intelligence officer to say.
What do you mean?
Our captain was originally from this area.
He lost his wife and two daughters in this town.
So?
Stop it! What are you doing?!
I said stop!
Sorry about that. Move on.
Y-Yes, sir.
Do you think you're the only one who lost his family in the war?!
You're not the only one in pain. Not the only one!
Stop it.
Sorry.
I think we're somewhere around here now.
It's doesn't matter where we are. We're stuck here till we die.
Things will work out!
Come on, we've always managed to get by!
What are you talking about?
This isn't like before! It's nothing like before!
Maurice...
Holland isn't here! Neither is Talho!
Hilda, Stoner... None of them are here!
Mama's gone crazy and she's not getting any better!
So stop talking crap!
Renton!
We found food!
There's tons more on top of the tree!
Let's go get them!
Sure, let's go.
Come with us too, Maurice.
What's wrong, Maurice?
Hey, where are the fruits?
Over here!
Wait, I'm coming with you!
Mama...
It's opening.
Lt. Dominic of special forces, I presume?
Yes. Who are you?
I am Deckard, from the Novac Foundation.
Novac... The colonel's?
I've been waiting for you.
May I ask you something?
Please.
Have we met somewhere before?
Once, when I delivered "it."
"It?"
These girls are going to replace Anemone?
These ones have just been delivered here.
From where? Where were they delivered from?
The battlefield?
Of course, there's no shortage of test subjects in this city.
You do know the other name this town has, right?
Warsaw... Also known as the Joy Division.
Officers like you should know what that means.
Now, let's get going. We're making the next Anemone wait.
I've had enough.
Where are you going?
You should stay here.
You're acting strange, Eureka. What's wrong with you?!
If you have something to complain about, tell me!
I have no complaints.
You're lying!
It's the truth!
Then stay here. You're making the kids worry, too.
We came here because everyone sent us out here.
I know how you feel pressured for time. But...
But that's why we need to calm down and tackle this problem.
So please, Eureka...
Don't touch me!
I'm sorry.
Don't follow me!
What's the meaning of this? This is Anemone?
Do you find them satisfactory?
Our skills in plastic surgery have improved quite a bit since the last attempt.
Not just skeletal reconstruction, but also in...
minimizing the activity of muscles used for facial expression.
Thus, we were able to make them more closely resemble the original.
Wait a minute, what are they doing over there?
They're performing the final test.
The levels are much lower than when we shipped Anemone.
But Lord Dewey has told us to prepare three bodies as soon as possible.
Injecting medication.
That last one we sent was really special.
Her drug tolerance was high, as was her dependence on the Zone.
Normally, by injecting a powerful stimulant,
one can drag the subject back to reality for a brief moment.
But in that sense, she was special as well.
The most special of any of the subjects found in this town.
Anemone... You...
You...
You... For all this time...
I'm terribly sorry about this.
Lord Dewey requested that you choose one of the three finished products.
What would you like to do?
It's me.
The experiment just ended. The result...
There's no one to replace Anemone!
I lost my family in the war as well.
I thought that I knew the pain of living alone better than anyone else.
That's why, for Anemone... I wanted to support her.
Even knowing that the drugs were eating away at her body and mind...
I did as she had wished.
I... I...
If I can find a replacement for her, I can save her from the life she leads.
But to do that, I have to choose someone else, and I!
What's?
Is what's written in there the truth?
"The Interview of the Century Norb and Dr. Greg"
The appearance of the antibody Coralians. The collapse of the material universe.
Is everything part of a plan that the colonel has set up?
Even knowing that innocent civilians would be involved in all of it?
I see.
What is this? It's really heavy.
What's that?
Holland told me to use this if something happened to us.
Holland, I'm going to open it.
So big...
This is...
Renton!
Maeter, what's wrong?
Mama... Mama is!
Eureka?!
Eureka.
Mama.
Maurice!
Mama! Mama!
You guys, stay here!
Mama! Mama!
Mama!
Maurice!
Mama!
Maurice!
Mama!
We just received orders from Federation Forces HQ...
to proceed to the Tresor technology labs.
To Tresor?
Yes. Apparently, members of Gekkostate...
are being harbored within the lab.
And?
Yes. After joining up with the 18th autonomous regiment,
we're to immediately capture the members...
of Gekkostate and all laboratory workers in Tresor.
Captain.
Is there anywhere we can replenish...
our weapons and ammunition on the way to Tresor?
Is it really all right?
That's an order.
Attention all hands! This ship will now head to Tresor laboratories.
All hands will immediately report to their assigned stations.
Repeat, this ship will now head to Tresor laboratories.
All hands will immediately report to their assigned stations.
I've made my decision...
Anemone.
TO BE CONTINUED
To be continued.
Trying to escape the same old thing
You set out, walking all alone
Thinking that if you just spread out the map clutched in your hand
You'd be sure to reach your destination
But you were mistaken
You thought you'd be stronger on your own
You discovered your own weakness and the path was hazy
But then the light fell on you and you remembered all their faces
So you kept getting up, moving forward, no matter how many times you fell
Because you knew inside that everyone has a place to call "home"
Always relying on those bonds every time
Hands in the air, with a yell that carries on in your heart
Always looking back to where you've been
Because there are some places that never change
No matter what adversities or fears you overcome
You advance down this unknown endless road
Always looking back to where you've been
Because there are some places that never change
No matter what adversities or fears you overcome
You advance down this unknown endless road
Always looking back to where you've been
The boy and the others try to move...
from the truth of the past towards the truth yet to be seen.
And the world, separated into heaven and earth,
is joined by a certain bond.
