And as for you,
I want you to disappear.
I see.

Ki: What was that?
Sa: Gravity fluctuation.
Wa: An overdependence of mass.
To: A simple phenomenon.
No: It's continuing.
9.2 Billion Years Later
Wa: The mass preponderance is expanding.
Ki: A rare phenomenon. It's never occurred before.
Wa: Indeed.
Ki: There is a special sense about it.
Ki: The information in the entire cocoon is not sizable.
It can be read in an instant.
But even after you read it, something remains.

Ki: Anisotropic singularity.
To: Anisotropic singularity.
Wa: I want to touch the singularity.
Ki: What will you do?
Wa: Go inside the cocoon.
No: What?
Sa: You're insane.
To: The cocoon is a lower dimension.
If you enter it, much information will be lost.
Ki: Space will warp, and the cocoon will be destroyed.
Sa: It's suicide.
No: What is your reason for doing this?
Wa: You understand, don't you?
Wa: I want to get closer.
That's all.
Ki: Let's go.
Wa: I can't wait any longer!

She laughed!
She's a girl, but she doesn't look any different from Satoru.
Well, she was just born!
Did you think of a name?
Yeah.
Saraka
Saraka?
You said it was a pretty name.
You liked them too, right?
The flowers on the tree in the yard.
The sarasouju tree... It is pretty,
but it's kind of an ephemeral name, isn't it?
Humans are ephemeral creatures.
We're just like a spring night's dream.
Nothing wrong with that, though.
Right, Saraka?
Saraka!
I told you not to leave the house by yourself!
Saraka, listen.
Humans can die really easily.
That's we have to try our hardest to live, for as long as we're alive.
Do you understand, Saraka?
Well, you will someday.
Okay, Dad. I'm off.
Dad?
You don't understand anything!
There're guns everywhere in America!
What could a little girl like you do if someone pointed a gun at you?
If you can't do what your parents tell you,
then just leave!
If I ever get into trouble, I'll just do what you told me!
What did you say?
Bye!
Come back soon.
Yaha-kui zaShunina, I won't let you have your way!
Oh? Why?
Because I am this universe's
biggest fan!
You set the initial conditions of the cocoon,
and then never touched it?
You're a naturalist?
It's a typical ideology in the anisotropic,
but it's not the right answer.
Saraka-san!
When you descended into this cocoon,
you gave up most of what made you an anisotropic being, right?
I possess the full power of the anisotropic.
You cannot fight me.
zaShunina.
Tell me.
What is the right answer?
The anisotropic beings created the cocoons in search of information,
and the universe created humanity.
Thus, humanity will be taken out of the cocoon,
and will encounter the anisotropic.
That is our final destination,
and the single, absolute answer for which humanity and the universe exist.
You're not telling me...
You're going to take humanity to the anisotropic?
You already know, don't you, Shindo?
Kado is a boundary object, but also a transforming device.
I want to meet humanity.
Not in these cramped lower dimensions,
but in the real world.
The anisotropic!
It's impossible!
They can't endure the transformation from the universe to the anisotropic!
The amount of information is completely different!
If you do that, you'll break humanity!
It's true that the possibility is low,
but that is not a reason to stop it.
I only need one.
Just one...
A single successful transformation, and my objective will be achieved.
I have enough.
I can make copies.
I can just do it until I succeed.
You're wrong!
The transformation to the anisotropic is for humanity's benefit, as well.
Even if humanity were to continue to exist in this universe,
their lifespan wouldn't even reach one billion years.
If you truly desire humanity's continued existence,
the smart thing to do is to go to the anisotropic.
Thus, I will ask you, in light of this...
Where am I mistaken?
Mankind...
All of mankind...
lives as best they can in the time they're given.
That is our happiness.
That is how humans live!
This does not warrant discussion.
zaShunina, I'll tell you, too.
You're wrong.
What is my mistake?
I can't tell you.
Why?
Because if I do, I'll no longer be able to correct it.
It's to stop me, isn't it?
Lies make me sad.
zaShunina!
Shindo.
I wanted you to come to the anisotropic of your own will.
I wanted to reach the one right answer together with humanity and the anisotropic.
But it seems...
that is impossible.
This is goodbye.
No, zaShunina!
Kado.
Sh-Shindo-san! Shindo-san!
Open your eyes!
Please, open your eyes!
Shindo-san, please!
Shindo-san!
Shindo...
Please, make it in time!
Shindo-san!
Where are we?
An isolated space I created.
zaShunina can't find us here.
You really are an anisotropic being, aren't you?
I'm sorry.
I know you probably can't trust me anymore,
but please, just trust me for right now!
Why did you save me when it meant this would happen to you?
You knew I was an anisotropic being!
So why? Why?!
There wasn't a reason.
Sometimes we humans do strange things.
Shindo-san...
I watched you for so long.
This universe.
Its life.
Humanity.
Humanity bloomed for a single instant in the endless flow of the universe.
They live in that instant with all their might,
and I fell in love with them for that.
I love humanity.
It's healing itself.
Shindo-san!
Are you okay, Shindo-kun?
A huge hole suddenly opened in Kado.
And Tsukai-san went missing.
And, um...
Saraka-san was an anisotropic being.
What are you talking about?
I've captured Tsukai Saraka within this.
She was causing damage.
What's going on?
I'll explain everything.
First, there's something I want you to see.
Kado.
What is this?
It can't be...
The fourth anisotropic power.
Nanomis-hein.
I'm alive...
Shindo-san!
I'm so glad...
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Nothing...
This is, um... just how it has to work!
Thank you.
To use the Nanomis-hein, you need inherent capability
Japanese-Anisotropic Joint Initiative Committee
as well as practice.
We will find people like Dr. Shinawa Kanata and advance our research.
That is the fastest way to use the Nanomis-hein worldwide.
If you touch it, you can experience the touch sensation of the anisotropic.
Anyone with the inherent capability can understand
its basic principles simply by doing that.
Is there a way to stop zaShunina by force?
Even if that weapon is completed, it may simply delay your death by a moment.
You're too selfish, Shindo-san.
You're an idiot, Shindo-san! A huge idiot!
