Ayumi-san?
If I'm wrong, you can hit me!
I'm coming inside!
This can't be real...
Tell me it's not real!
Ayumi-san!
Damn it!
"Episode 5: Spiral of Tragedy"
I need to do something.
There has to be a way.
Dad...
For the first time in my life,
I'm grateful to you.
Okay, I'm passing out the questions.
Good.
Hey!
Boss!
Wait!
Weren't you really excited to take the test?
Hey, if you want to cut class,
you're not supposed to just walk out in the middle of it!
There should be some way.
Some way to save her...
Some way...
Toyotomi-kun...
Chief... No, Ayumi.
With my help, you can make your little problem go away...
No! Don't!
This isn't right!
If you refuse me, you'll be fired from Geotech.
You won't be able to continue your research.
And then you'll be out on the street, right?
What will happen to your son's future, then?
Kodai-san...
Ayumi-san!
Takuya-kun?
Toyotomi, you...
Sheesh. You need to show some respect for her privacy.
Have some common decency--
Toyotomi-kun!
Takuya-kun, stop it!
Ayumi-san, you don't need to listen to a word this asshole says.
--What the hell is wrong with you? --Come with me.
Stop it, Takuya-kun.
I'll take care of this.
You don't need to feel responsibility.
Hey, wait!
You can't expect to get away with this!
Let me go!
How did this happen?
Don't come back.
Never bother us again.
This is assault!
No, it's felony assault, which is even worse!
I'll see you in jail for this!
Whatever.
Just you wait!
In the end, the good guys always win!
Okay, that takes care of that.
Ayumi-san.
Why...
Ayumi-san?
Why...
Why did this happen?
I'm changing this.
This reality is bullshit.
And I'm changing it!
--Okay, I'm passing out the questions. --Okay!
Hey!
Boss!
Wait!
Weren't you really excited to take the test?
What's his problem? He looked like death itself.
Did he need to go to the bathroom?
It was probably number two from the look of it.
Chief... No, Ayumi.
With my help, you can make your little problem go away...
Takuya-kun!
Sheesh. You need to show some respect for her privacy.
Let's go, Ayumi-san.
Wait, Takuya-kun.
--That hurts... You're hurting me!
--Hey, we're in the middle of an important discussion!
What were you going to talk about with your pants down, porn director?
I-It's none of your business.
Let me go, Takuya-kun!
Let me go!
There's a reason...
There's a reason for this.
Listen to me, Ayumi-san.
This was all a setup by Toyotomi.
Those yakuza that attacked you.
The secret files that were stolen.
It was all him!
Don't lie to me.
It's not a lie!
Do you have proof? Do you?
Well...
Takuya-kun, you don't understand anything.
Toyotomi-kun is just trying to help us out of the kindness of his heart.
I believe in him.
You believe a guy who was about to rape you?
That's insane!
Ayumi-san, get a hold of yourself!
Why?
Why won't you understand?
Why...
Forget it.
Ayumi
is just tired now...
Hey, are you okay?
The police! Call the police!
Hurry!
Ayumi-san...
I'm going to save you, no matter what it takes!
Okay, I'm passing out the questions.
Boss?
What's wrong, Arima-kun?
Wait! Arima!
What's gotten into him?
Did he need to go to the bathroom?
From the look of it, he already went...
Beating up Toyotomi didn't work.
Taking Ayumi-san away didn't work.
What's left?
Hey, if it isn't Arima-kun.
Haven't seen you for a while.
Yuki, was that his name?
The little shrimp isn't with you today?
Sorry. I don't have time for this now.
Come on, don't be so cold.
--It's time for payback... --...for what you did last time.
You bastards... are in my way!
Ayumi-san?
One more time!
Ayumi-san!
Ayumi-san...
What can I do to save you?
What can I do?
The capabilities of the Reflector Device are limited.
When the phenomenological density of a certain world is extremely high,
if you approach its limit radius,
it becomes impossible to avoid.
This limit radius is referred to as an "Event Schwarzschild Radius,"
"Fate"
and the unavoidable situation is referred to as "fate."
Is this "fate"?
The hell it is.
I refuse to let fate
determine my life!
Oh, is that you, Takuya-kun?
I knew it!
What's wrong? You look so upset...
I've been waiting, Kaori-san.
"Be careful around Toyotomi."
A blue card...
It's a little too convenient that you're offering me that blue card.
It's simple.
I just tried to think what somebody who was
sniffing around Geotech would want most.
That business card I gave you...
You want to know what Toyotomi's been up to.
You're pretty quick on the uptake, too.
Sure.
I'll tell you in exchange for the blue card.
Just give me a second.
I know it's somewhere around here.
Here.
Th-This is...
Well? Think it'll help?
Yeah. Thanks.
I like that face much better.
You look just like your father.
You know just what to say to make somebody feel good.
You look even more like him when you're mad.
Bye.
Oh, Kaori-san.
What?
You want to have some fun with me?
No!
Oh?
You're awfully calm, considering a babe like me is offering herself to you.
A babe?
Where are you, babe? Come on out!
So that's how it's gonna be, huh?
I always wanted to take a boy's virginity.
Sorry. I'm not a virgin.
Oh, you're not?
Too bad.
Oh, right.
What's in the place protected by the blue card?
I'll tell you later, so you'll have something to look forward to.
Okay, I'm passing out the questions.
Okay!
Boss!
Wait!
Weren't you really excited to take the test?
Sensei?
Leave him be.
Okay, let's get started!
Come on, Ayumi!
No!
Sheesh. You need to show some respect for her privacy.
Have some common decency, why don't you?
Ayumi-san, there's no need to listen to a thing he says.
That whole thing where the yakuza attacked you was a setup, by him!
I don't know anything about any yakuza.
Takuya, you can't go around telling lies about people.
Got any proof?
I sure do. Right here.
This is impossible.
How...
Where did you get this?
Toyotomi-kun, what are these pictures?
What's going on?
Give it up, Toyotomi.
You're not talking your way out of this.
What are you laughing about?
I gave a used-up old widow like her a shot at a young, handsome man like me.
She should be thanking me!
You bastard--
Bye!
Shit!
I'm not letting you get away!
Stop right there!
Wait!
Give it up already!
I told you, I'm not interested in that old hag!
I'll see you in jail for this!
No way!
In the end, the good guys always win!
Hi there!
Kaori-san?
I just grabbed a pot to hit him with.
Will it be okay?
Be okay...
Are you talking about the pot itself? Or Toyotomi?
The pot. Of course.
Of course.
He pissed me off, so I always wanted to do this.
What a great stress buster!
You know?
I see.
Given what's going on with Ayumi-san, I can't recommend going to the police.
Why?
The media's about to report that she sold secret data to a rival company.
But that's just a fake rumor.
Gossip and mean rumors make perfect bait for viewers.
But does that mean we let him go?
Of course, this loser needs dealt with.
Can you let me take care of this?
Fine.
Get back to your mom.
That's right. Ayumi-san...
Okay, take care of it!
Sure thing.
I'm back!
Ayumi-san!
No way...
Kodai-san.
I'm sorry.
Ayumi just...
can't go on...
Ayumi-san!
Takuya-kun...
Don't be stupid.
Come on! Give me the razor!
Stay back.
Ayumi
doesn't need to live anymore...
Who decided that?
I just decided it now.
Kodai-san...
Ayumi is coming to be with you.
Stop it!
Get off me!
Be careful with that thing!
No! Let me go!
Do you really think I'm going to do that?
Do what your mother tells you to!
Hell no!
Ayumi-san...
Think about what you're doing a little more.
What do you know?
You're just a kid!
You hit me...
You hit Ayumi!
It's the best way to make a child stop throwing a tantrum.
What do you know about Ayumi?
I know your underwear measurements.
Dummy! Dummy! Dummy!
Ayumi hurts so much... She's so lonely she could die!
I know!
You don't!
Maybe I don't, but...
Why don't you get madder?
Don't be stupid, Ayumi. You know better than this.
Well? That sounded a little like him, right?
Why... Why aren't you anything alike even though you're father and son?
It didn't sound like him, huh?
I was pretty sure it did.
Well? Fell better?
Yes. I'm sorry.
I'll prove your innocence.
And then you can go back to your research.
Takuya-kun, how much do you know about what's going on?
Even if I end up going to another time or another world...
I'll save you as many times as I have to.
So believe in me.
And never do this again.
Can you promise me that?
Yeah.
I promise.
