Mitsuki-san!
We can ask Ichijo-san what happened when she wakes up.
We don't need to take her to a hospital?
I gave her first aid, and her life's in no danger.
Where are you going?
That storehouse. I'll get rid of the body.
Um... Why are you investigating Ryuzoji?
I'll tell you later.
You'll need to find out at some point, after all.
Take care of Ichijo-san.
She's still under the influence of Niarb. Be careful.
Got it.
This is a little different from the other parallel worlds...
"Episode 13: An Ordained Fate"
You awake?
You were refusing to wake up, so I was about to kiss you.
Like a prince from a fairy tale, you know?
Where am I?
My bed...
That's what I'd prefer, anyway.
But unfortunately it's the nurse's office.
What happened to me?
You got in an accident. In Ryuzoji's car.
An accident?
No! It's dangerous!
You hit your head. Take it easy.
There might be some painkillers in the first aid box.
Not much more than band-aids, huh?
A power outage? Crap...
You're going to die, Takuya!
Well done.
Thank you.
Ryuzoji!
It's useless.
Don't even bother resisting.
So you were controlling Mitsuki-san.
Looks like you've been doing a lot of sniffing around.
You, and her...
Eriko-sensei?
She and I are actually old acquaintances.
I thought I was safe after Abel's death.
I didn't expect her to come after me...
Abel?
I should've kept my mouth shut.
Ichijo-kun, show it to him.
Yes, Sensei.
Th-That's...
I knew it.
You seem to know what this jewel is.
Which means Kodai gave you the Reflector Device.
The thing I've wanted for so long...
You still know nothing of that device's power.
Don't you think it should belong to someone who knows its true value?
Now, where is it?
Maybe it's closer than you think!
You're going to die, Takuya!
I start from here?!
Stop it!
Wake up, Mitsuki-san!
Takuya...
You're so kind...
Mitsuki-san, you're okay now?
Stop it! Stop, please!
Takuya, you're going to die!
E-Eriko-sensei?
I came back because I heard a noise.
I told you to be careful.
I know that!
That's why I came from another parallel world.
I see. Looks like this route was the right one, then.
Come on, just tell me.
What is Ryuzoji planning?
Why did he do this to Mitsuki-san?
Let's head to his mansion.
I'll tell you the details there.
Hey, is it okay to move the body before the cops come?
I get it. But there's no time.
Here we go.
What's up with that wall?
The coloration there is different, but...
Knock it down.
Me?
Please. Do it now.
Trespassing. Moving a corpse.
And now property damage...
Human bones?
Look carefully. Notice anything?
I'm not sure what I'm looking at...
There's no torso?
Just limbs and a head!
No way...
That's right.
The monster that was seen during the uproar about the curse...
It's Abel's body, with Principal Ryuzoji's soul inside.
Right now Ryuzoji's body has been taken over by something else.
Is that possible?
It is.
For an Eternal Dimensional Criminal.
Beings of pure thought who travel
between different dimensions, interfering with events there.
Well, I'm sure it's asking a bit much to think you'd believe me immediately.
At the time, I didn't know that he was actually something else.
I've come this far. I believe you.
I was looking into Ryuzoji, so I could arrest him.
Arrest him? Who are you?
A long time ago... well, in the future, from your point of view...
There was a man named Abel.
He was a scientist, and he and his assistant spent their days doing research.
--The two of them studied the science of events. --Here
--The two of them studied the science of events. --Thank you.
They researched the Tree of Vrinda.
A diagram showing all the potential events that can result from a single cause.
The nodes on the diagram split like the roots of a tree,
stretching out according to a set of rules.
This sequence of events becomes a new event cause in and of itself,
creating new sequences in turn.
This is where the parallel worlds come from.
Abel performed a certain experiment.
He searched for the root of all the events that have ever taken place.
It's too dangerous to go to the root!
Don't worry.
Only my mind will be traveling backwards through the events.
But...
Don't worry.
I'll be fine if you're here with me.
He's passed through 2⁵⁰ event splits.
Things are going well.
He's reached the 6th layer.
Light...
Infinite events are passing me by...
He's reached the 4th layer.
What lies beyond...?
The truths of the universe!
What's this? No, Abel!
This isn't the truth!
No... these numbers...
An eternal dimensional criminal?
What is this thing? It's after Abel?
2⁹⁶ event splits passed.
He's approaching the 1st layer.
Abel, run!
You won't be able to make it back!
Abel!
Are you okay? What happened to the dimensional criminal?
I'm just fine. Let's continue the experiment.
I'm so glad...
Who are you?
What's wrong?
No. You're... You're not Abel!
I've inherited all of this man's memories.
But you're not easily fooled, are you?
Especially if you love each other...
Abel.
This is a good body. I like it.
I'm taking it.
The eternal dimensional criminal took Abel's body,
and fled to the parallel world we are in now.
And then he switched from Abel's body to Ryuzoji's.
Abel's soul, stripped of its body, is still wandering event space.
That tapestry always creeps me out..
This is the spot.
It's just up ahead.
What? The Reflector Device...
It's resonating with what's up ahead.
What is this?
A device that allows you to move between parallel worlds.
It does the same thing as your Reflector Device.
It's broken.
It probably was destroyed when he came to this dimension.
That's why he pretended to be Ryuzoji and approached you.
An interesting theory,
except for the fact that it's complete fantasy.
Ryuzoji...
The bones in the storehouse wall. All that stuff about the curse.
And this dimensional transportation device.
All these fragments point to one object.
You're under arrest!
You wanted to catch me so bad you became a dimensional inspector?
Watch out!
Wait, he doesn't die?
To a being of pure thought, the body is just a vessel.
But...
There are limits to how much a vessel can take!
This is it!
Eriko-sensei!
It seems we have the upper hand now.
Ichijo-kun, tie them up.
Yes, sir.
Is something wrong?
No. I'm fine.
I'll do it now...
Fool.
Mitsuki-san!
This body won't last any longer.
Wait!
No... you were trying to protect me.
It's fine... It's okay now.
It is not!
You died because of me!
I was always thinking about you...
Hello?
I always... loved you...
The jewel...
Take it.
I know you'll need it.
Takuya... keep following your path...
Without hesitation...
Mitsuki-san! Mitsuki-san!
Answer me! Please!
Mitsuki-san! Mitsuki-san!
It's useless.
Going to another parallel world won't bring her back.
This conclusion was already ordained.
What the hell does that mean?
It doesn't matter whether she was shot or not.
The outcome would've been the same.
The flux in the event potential is too high.
You've experienced goodbyes with her before, haven't you?
Forget about Mitsuki Ichijo.
She's going to disappear soon.
An event that cannot be avoided.
People call that "Fate."
So my saying goodbye to Mitsuki-san is fate?
Yes.
No matter what parallel world you go to, that won't change.
No... I refuse to accept that!
Again?
The forced revision of causality.
The correction of chaos.
Just in case, I'll erase your memories of me and Ryuzoji.
If he thinks you know who he is, he'll go after you even in another world.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
What will you do when you get to the new parallel world?
What I have to do.
No matter what fate awaits me,
I'll follow my path!
Takuya.
Dad...
Causality guides everything.
I'm not interested in your lectures right now.
I'm just sick of all this.
Even if it's fate... saying goodbye to the people I love...
The one that will show you the path... is Kanna Hatano.
Kanna-chan?
And when the eight jewels are gathered,
a new path will be opened to you.
A new path...
Takuya, I'll be waiting for you.
Here again, huh?
Oh, right...
The same awful pain as always...
Kanna-chan.
Now tell me about you.
All about you...
