Shiori-san?
Please save my brother.
Save?
Please defeat my brother, Myoga Leiji, with your true performance.
Defeat Myoga-san?
His clock that stopped moving seven years ago...
Please help him move it towards the future again... Please!
Seven years ago...?
I won't forgive you!
Seven years ago...
Victory Amulet
Elegy of Love and Hate
Amamiya-san will be leaving soon...
Shouldn't you stop him?
It's time. Let's go.
President Myoga!
President Myoga, where are you going?
Myoga?
Amamiya-kun.
Departure time is 10:00. Are you ready?
Yes...
The finals start in five hours.
You'll keep me company.
Where's Kohinata?
I thought I saw her talking to someone in front of the auditorium.
Damn it. She's not picking up.
There are only five hours until the performance...
What could've happened?
Kanade-chan, you dropped something.
Hey! That's...
We will look for Kohinata-san.
The rest of you should wait here until the performance.
How can we just sit back and wait?
She wouldn't just drop the amulet our friends from Shiseikan gave her.
Maybe she's in some kind of trouble.
I want both of you to check the dorms, just in case.
All right. I'll leave the rest to you.
Haru!
Sousuke...
Is something the matter?
We can't find Kohinata-senpai.
Kohinata-san, too?
"Too"? What do you mean, "too"?
You're finally conscious.
Huh?
Who are you?
You're Amane's...
Why?!
I have no grudge against you... but I have no choice.
You're making trouble for me. I have to go back.
The finals are starting soon.
My violin...
Where's my violin?!
I'll give it back to you if my wish comes true.
Your violin and cell phone.
My— Give them back!
Don't panic. I should have the score settled by the time of the finals.
Myoga-san...
I've been waiting for you, President Myoga.
I had to take extreme measures to get you to come.
Will you allow me back into the ensemble now?
Is that why you kidnapped me?
You have no idea how much I've wanted to play together with you...
That's why I've been practicing like a madman all this time!
Then the day came for my efforts to bear fruit: the competition!
You selected me to be a member of the ensemble!
It was an honor, to compete against other high-schoolers alongside you.
I pledged to myself that I would muster all my power
to perform proudly as your partner!
He's so passionate about the competition! And yet...
Do you remember that time, in the ensemble?
That moment when my cello and your violin resonated together
and we were showered with storm-like applause?
It was at that moment that I became certain.
Certain that it was I who would help you win the championship!
Not Nanami!
Choose me instead, President Myoga!
Don't be so full of yourself.
My violin and your cello resonated together?
Don't make me laugh.
Amane's ensemble doesn't need white noise.
White... noise...?
My cello... my words...
Doesn't anything resonate with you at all?!
You're a rat. So be a good rat and keep crawling at this filthy hovel.
That's too mean! I know he just wants to—
I am not a rat!
Stop!
You mustn't!
Please calm down! You mustn't do such a thing!
Shut up!
Myoga-san! Are you all right?
President Myoga...
It's not my fault!
I've got nothing to do with this!
What?
Are you all right?
Where is he?
He left.
We'd better go, too...
It won't open.
Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall
Okay, Yuki. We'll start looking, too.
What's happening?
Supposedly Kohinata is missing.
What?
Sousuke, any news?
I couldn't find her.
How about you, Kyoya-senpai?
Can't find her. Damn it. Where'd she go?
How exciting for you. A world of opportunities is opening widely for you.
May I have this rose?
I want it to have a view outside of this place.
That the expansive sky in our world is limitless.
I wonder what kind of view that rose saw.
Mikage-san, I want to drop by somewhere on the way to the airport.
Huh?
Hello? Is there anyone there?
Please help us!
What'll we do?
We're not going to make it to the finals!
You want to perform in the finals?
Of course I do!
We all want to win. So I have to go!
Please open!
You should wish for things that can actually happen.
You want to perform, too, don't you, Myoga-san?
Didn't you say you were going to crush me in the final?
I wish I'd heard you say those things seven years ago.
Shiori-san also said something about seven years ago...
What exactly happened seven years ago?
You really don't remember?
What did I do to you, Myoga-san?
What's the point of remembering it?
Because if you remember, you'll hand the victory over to me again.
You'll give away your victory out of charity,
like throwing a bone to a stray dog!
You gave me the victory out of charity,
like throwing a bone to a stray dog!
Did you think that would make me happy?
I remember now!
So that was you, Myoga-san?
Any news?
We couldn't find her.
He's from Amane!
That rose must've seen the sky and ocean from here...
Kohinata-san must be at the auditorium by now, right?
What's the matter?
Well... she's missing...
What? She's missing?
Do you know Hido Takafumi?
What?
I heard he's bearing a grudge because he was ousted from the ensemble.
Have you heard anything?
Myoga... Did Hido do something to Kohinata-san?
That's what I'm asking you.
Amamiya-kun, we don't have any more time.
A-Amamiya-kun...
Wait, Amamiya-kun!
Why am I running?
Why?
So it was you, Myoga-san, who restrung the violin for me.
I wouldn't have done it, had I known I would suffer such humiliation.
Seven Years Ago
It's starting soon!
Your string broke?
Yeah.
Do you have a spare?
No.
Let me have it.
Huh?
You can have my string. So stop crying.
That's right... Myoga-san and I were in the same competition.
There. It's good to go.
Thank you!
In that competition, Myoga-san and I played the same song, "Partita."
Please wait!
Huh?
The decision hasn't been announced yet.
You'll keep your promise if I win, won't you?
Yes. If you win, I will grant you any wish.
Including the one about your sister.
I'll do my best!
But it's hopeless.
What?
You are a performer, so you must already know that you cannot win.
Even playing the same "Partita," the difference in talent is obvious.
I'm sorry to say, but you can forget about the promise.
Ah...!
It's impolite to eavesdrop, young lady.
Huh?
Don't let it bother you. That's the nature of competitions.
All who gather here desire to be number one.
But only one will fulfill that desire.
The rest are all miserable losers.
Congratulations, Kohinata-san.
The only one who can defeat all challengers, and rejoice in the victory...
is you.
I had never thought of it that way...
That there were many losers overshadowed by one victor.
I became afraid... so I... so I...
Don't you remember? You let me have the victory.
I let you have the victory?
I did that for you, Myoga-san?
That's right! You let me have the victory,
like throwing a bone to a stray dog.
Because if you lost...
Is that why you let me win?!
You gave me the victory out of charity,
like throwing a bone to a stray dog.
Did you think that would make me happy?
How dare you!
That wasn't my intention...
I won't forgive you!
Never! For insulting my music, my existence!
I will hate you for the rest of my life.
I promise you... I'll drag you down to hell!
No...
I let you win... so that's why you wanted to crush me?
I was the cause of your suffering, Myoga-san...
Then... why did you protect me?
You hate me.
Only an hour to go...
This is bad.
Where are you...?
Hido...
Hido!
It's not my fault...
Is this hers?
Hido. Where's Kohinata-san?
Tell me!
It's not my fault. It's not my fault...
Hido!
Amamiya-san.
Where's Kohinata-san?
Answer me!
Amamiya-san?
Hello, Amamiya-san?
Are you coming back?
Never mind that right now.
I know where Myoga and Kohinata-san are.
Huh?
Yeah, Sousuke. I know where that is.
It's nearby.
All right.
Hang in there, Kanade...
Okay, we're counting on you. They found Kohinata-san.
I'll text you the map.
Yeah. Hurry.
What a hassle.
Myoga-san, I...
Perhaps I should be grateful to you.
Huh?
That humiliation changed me.
No one can defeat me now.
I have remained undefeated until this day,
when you will stand in my presence once again.
There's only one person who can compete on my level...
And that's you, Kohinata Kanade.
Have you reached your limit?
That letter... did you write it, Myoga-san?
Kanade! Where are you?
Kyoya?
Kyoya!
I'm here, Kyoya!
Kyoya!
Kanade! I'll get you out of there!
I'm so glad...
We can still make the finals.
Myoga-san.
Myoga-san...
Heave.
One, two...
Good.
Kanade!
Are you all right?
Kohinata-senpai!
Kanade-chan!
Thank you, everyone!
Kohinata, I'm glad you're all right.
President Myoga!
Let's go to our battleground.
Right.
Kanade-chan, are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
We were so worried.
Amamiya-san...
Hey, stop dilly-dallying! Let's rush to the concert hall.
Tohgane-san! Toki-san!
Myoga-san...
I won't give up this time.
We'll settle the score on stage.
Yes.
For the sake of everyone who helped me...
And for the sake of Shiori-san...
I cannot be defeated!
I dedicate my performance, with gratitude, to everyone I've met in this competition.
