I am Aiko Tachibana.
I've finally met the other me.
Wait!
I'm sorry I scared you.
I just wanted to talk.
What? With me?
I've been waiting.
Ever since I first found out about you.
That's my junior high uniform.
That's me from before the Burst.
Can this place get attacked, too?
Is there a shelter?
- Yes! - Then let's get there now!
- We have to stop it! - What?
An external attack won't wipe out the Matter.
It will destroy the only thing holding the matter back...
Aiko Tachibana's brain.
You mean it will make it more active?
That's right.
But if we return the artificial brain to the Matter,
it will end all of this.
If that's the case, I'll do as you say.
Sagami!
That's the mission Shino left for us to complete.
You're the key to this whole thing. What's that look for?
You decided yourself that you must do this, right?
That's right.
I'll end the Burst, and return Aiko Tachibana to her real body.
That's my goal.
That's why...
That was the only reason I brought her here.
Are you crazy? You can't be serious!
After all the time you've spent with her, don't you feel anything?
Why are you so concerned about Tachibana?
Don't make me say it! You know why!
I'm in love.
Kazuki.
So what if I am?
I thought we were friends! Haven't you felt anything for her?
But you say Aiko is artificial!
So why am I having these feelings?
They're feelings based on a misunderstanding.
Change your thinking and they'll go away.
You may be some famous researcher,
but even I understand this.
Someone like you...
can never save anyone!
Kazuki!
It's coming!
No need to hide it anymore.
I'll find Tachibana. You keep descending!
Hey! Kanzaki!
Kanzaki!
You want to talk to me?
Yes.
But...
What am I?
You are...
Kanzaki told me...
that the other me was artificial.
That she'd be destroyed.
Her thoughts are no longer necessary.
But he meant me.
That's not true.
My whole existence, here and now,
is thanks to you.
You lie.
You think the same, don't you?
You want to get rid of me, too!
That's not...
I don't believe you!
I can't believe anything anymore!
Nothing...
Listen.
I want you to know what happened that day,
and everything that happened since,
and all of me.
You guys take the stairs down.
I'll go this way.
Wait! That's suicide!
If we go the same way, the activity will focus there.
Yeah, but...
Let's hurry.
- Kaede! - Yes?
We'll be fine.
What?
Why is he the one?
He can't save Aiko!
The activity is spreading.
This is Yura's laboratory.
What? This is Dr. Yura's lab?
So, you knew that Kanzaki is Dr. Yura?
Yes.
Did he tell you that Tachibana's brain was artificial?
He's deceived all of us from the very start.
You're right.
If we completed the mission without knowing the truth,
none of us would have felt any remorse or guilt toward Aiko.
Even Aiko herself
would have left this world without any mental anguish.
It was his way of taking responsibility for his sin.
But he failed.
Yes. We know all about it now.
But even so, he has to see this through to the end.
I'm certain Daisuke would feel the same.
Human form...
We've finally met.
You're...
Dr. Yura!
When I woke up, I was alone.
Wasn't I in an accident with Dad?
Am I wrong? I'm...
Without knowing it, I had lost my body.
Why? When? How?
Am I dead? Is this heaven?
I started going back through all my memories.
This is...
Then, I found myself overcome with memories I shouldn't have.
Who is this? Where am I?
Where are Mom and Ryota?
Even I understood that...
something terrible was happening.
Then, I found myself floating all alone.
I couldn't go anywhere.
Even so, I was able to protect Mom and Ryota.
It's all right.
But...
gradually I've been losing myself.
If it keeps up, I might disappear.
It feels like my consciousness is slowly slipping away.
But, I don't feel sad or afraid.
Isn't this...
I was so lonely!
I've wanted to see you, Dr. Yura!
Yuzuha!
I waited so long.
You waited?
Yes. I'm begging you. Please help me!
What?
Is this a dream? Or is it Dream Contact?
Dr. Yura, I can't move my body.
I can't speak! I can't even talk to Dad!
What should I do?
She must have regained consciousness.
The human form Matter is controlled by Yuzuha.
I don't want to be alone!
I want to get out of here!
Where is your body now? What is its condition?
I don't know. Where should I go?
Please!
You've been alone this whole time?
But, I found something that helped.
Every day I saw your memories.
They were like a light shining into my heart.
Your happy memories,
your sad memories,
and everything else flowed into me, and kept me alive.
Through you, I was able to laugh.
I was able to feel anger and cry.
You're the only reason...
I'm here now.
Me?
Thank you for all you've done.
Please! I want you to rescue Mom and Ryota!
I heard what Dr. Isazu said, too.
Before the attack starts, get them and get out of here.
What? Escape?
If we do, you'll...
There isn't time!
My time is up.
Your time? Do you mean your consciousness?
Please!
"MISSION TO INCINERATE MALIGNANT AREA ANNOUNCED"
The government recognizes this as an armed attack by a foreign nation.
This is an official announcement that the Malignant Area will be incinerated
by the land, air, and sea branches of the Self-Defense Forces.
Come in.
Sir, the government has announced
the attack will center on Research Facility Two.
Good timing, Takehara.
I must hurry to Primary Point to get Aiko Tachibana,
and suppress the artificial cells that have turned into Matter.
Take over in my absence.
What are you talking about, sir?
I'm sorry, Yuzuha.
Help me!
Wait!
Tell me anything you know about your body. Anything at all.
I don't know a single thing!
Where is my body?
Please, Dr. Yura! Help me!
Dr. Yura is...
What? Is something wrong?
I'll try to suppress the Matter.
But I might not be much use.
I'm the only one who can do this.
I'm so glad I met you.
We didn't have much time, but I'm glad I got to talk with you.
What? Wait! Don't go!
I still have so much to ask you!
What is this about?
Like I said, I'm requesting that
the Self-Defense Forces' attack stop immediately.
It can't be stopped based on your opinion!
You should be more concerned about your own position,
Ms. Nanbara of the Matter Control Agency!
The responsibility for letting this situation continue is yours!
Deal with the remaining Divers in the Border Zone immediately.
You want me to?
Of course!
What are we going to do, Director?
I will gladly obey your orders.
Gummi.
What should I do?
Wait!
What are you doing?!
I'm not letting someone on my team die!
Why did you follow me?
Just like...
Kazuki wants to save Aiko,
I don't want you to die, either.
I knew deep down that Aiko had done nothing wrong.
I couldn't stand to lie to myself anymore.
So, I want to find a way to bring us all out of this alive!
You're crazy.
Activity has died down.
Okay, let's go.
First, we find Kazuki and the others.
Then we'll talk.
Okay.
Dr. Yura?
Is this the end for me?
Shinoyama, you believed in me.
But, it's ending here.
It's okay for me to trust you, right?
Tachibana.
Did I...
make a mistake somewhere?
What should I do now?
Dr. Kiryu.
I still haven't paid you back for what you did for me.
I haven't even ended the Burst.
Tachibana?
Aiko Tachibana, you're...
No!
Please, let go of him!
- Tachibana! - No! Don't!
No!
Let's hurry!
Aiko Tachibana! Why did you choose to do this?
Gummi?
I know this place!
Mom! Ryota!
Wake up, please! Open your eyes!
Please, Mom! Ryota! Wake up!
Aiko?
It's you, Aiko.
Aiko!
You've really grown.
What about your injuries? Are they all better?
Yes, they are. I'm fine.
Aiko!
Ryota, it's all right.
I'll save you soon.
Good. I want to get out of here.
I want to go to school and see my friends.
I know. I promise to save you and Mom.
Are you really all right?
Who knows when this will become active again?
You should escape and save yourself.
Mom...
I'm the only one who can do this.
It's all right. It's safe here.
There are some people who came with me.
Friends?
I'm not sure what to call them.
Aiko, you've worked so hard to get here.
I...
You know what, Aiko?
You seem a lot stronger now.
What? What do you mean?
I've laughed and cried a lot.
Maybe that's it.
My whole existence here and now
is thanks to you.
This is something that only I can do.
What is wrong, Aiko?
Don't worry. It's nothing.
I just want to stay here a moment.
Tachibana!
You're...
Kanzaki, I...
