We're going back to the others.
We have to warn them about the bats.
You expect us to trust you?
You dirty bastards kidnapped one of ours!
You used a child as a guinea pig! You have no right to talk!
-Ms. Hana, I'm going to stay here. -Are you sure, Mr. Aramaki?
The dogs still need to rest.
I'll keep watch over them and Momota.
Ango, I'll go with her.
Koruri is probably with the rest of their group.
If you're going to go with her,
then both of you remember that I will still be here.
If you do anything to the others, I won't hesitate to take action.
All right.
I'm going, then. But I promise I'll come back.
Stay safe.
Ban! Is Ban in there with you?
-Koruri. Where have you-- -Ban.
Grab the first-aid kit!
-We'll fly tandem on the glider! -What?
LESSER HEAT
That hurts.
Ban...
This brings back memories of our final test, right?
We need to wash their wounds with clean water.
I'm on it.
Disinfect the larger wounds first.
Right.
How far along are you?
I'm not really sure.
Maybe four months?
How long has it been since you woke up here?
Just about three years.
-Then you should be okay. -What?
Your body has adapted to this environment.
What do you mean?
Your body determined that it was okay to have a baby here.
That's why you got pregnant.
I see.
Thanks.
I was starting to think you weren't coming back.
Sorry.
You're hurt, too.
Let me see.
Akiwo, we need to get out of here. Those bats will be back.
No place around here is safe.
They can fly, you know.
"Bats"?
Excuse me...
Oh, sorry. My name is Haru.
I'm Koruri.
Well, I want you to help us get rid of those bats.
Can we actually succeed?
Yes.
You and the others chase the bats out of their nest.
Then I'll lure them into the charcoal pit.
"Charcoal pit"?
Sounds echo in there.
I get it.
That will interfere with the bats' echolocation.
The only problem is how we're going to draw them all out.
"Counter a ranging rook from the side.
Remove an imposing knight with haste..." is what I would say.
Who's there?
I was trying to come back, but those freaky bats stopped me.
Sakuya?
What were those weird things you just said?
They're Japanese chess proverbs.
"Japanese chess"? What the hell is that?
What? You've never heard of it?
In other words, the best way to deal with the bats would be to smoke them all out.
I took a quick look. There are 18 entrances.
I've more or less figured out the layout
based on how long it takes for them to leave.
To force them all out of one opening, we'll smoke each one in an order.
Koruri, they're on the move.
This time, things will be different.
Your prey is over there.
So the hunters become the hunted?
That includes us.
What was that song you just played?
Johann Strauss II's "Die Fledermaus."
Haru! I'm so glad you're all right.
Yes, I'm totally fine. Welcome back.
Tell me, who exactly are you?
That voice.
You're the one who killed Mr. Izayoi.
We were able to take care of the bats, thanks to Haru's help.
Wow! You really got them good!
We should be safe for the time being.
They'll attack again.
This couldn't have been all of them.
We've got no choice.
Taking care of the civilians is part of our duty, after all.
Right, Ango?
Right.
Do you have a gun, too?
I do.
But I don't carry it around all the time.
Mr. Aramaki!
Ms. Hana!
And the others!
Mr. Aramaki, they didn't do anything to you or Momota, did they?
No, but why did you all come here?
He's the one who suggested it.
He said it would be best if we all live here together.
Camping in the danger of the wild, or with a bunch of murderers.
It's a choice between two evils.
You've got weapons and extraordinary knowledge and skills.
Who exactly are you?
I would like to know that as well.
Why are we civilians to you?
What exactly differentiates us from all of you?
We were raised to survive here.
Is this the future?
Or are you just a bunch of kidnappers?
The future, probably.
-Do you know what's going on? -My grandparents explained it to me.
So our families could have told us.
Hard to believe they would tell this brat.
I'm not a brat.
I was told I would be in Team Spring.
Are you all part of it?
No, we're from Team Summer B.
Do you remember what you said last night?
There's a girl named Hotaru Kusakari on our team.
She's about the same age as you, and looks very similar.
Our family is old. Its roots go back to the Heian period.
I'm the heiress of the main family.
Hotaru is a cousin from a branch family.
Since we were young, there have been times when we could feel each other.
Warmth, pain, sadness, injuries, all sorts of things.
It's not all the time, and it usually comes very suddenly.
Like what happened last night.
Hotaru is on the verge of death.
She is dying very slowly.
You're very clumsy, Ms. Natsu.
Did you make my bed for me?
Oh, not yet. I'm not done with this yet.
I may start feeling sick again at any moment.
You're not being very considerate.
Or are you just incompetent?
If you were one of our servants, you would be fired right away.
Actually, I doubt we would have even hired you.
I bet you're hopeless in society.
I guess it's a good thing you could come here.
Bring me a fresh change of clothes.
I can't believe her. She's still so childish at her age.
I'm guessing you bullied those "servants" of yours pretty often.
You seem like a miserable kid.
You get through life by appraising others.
Who's an ally? Who's an enemy?
Who's a leader? Who will keep you safe?
Who can you trample on?
Just so you know, you can't bully her.
She's my prey.
What's so funny?
You're just like a child.
Do you have a crush on her?
She got the better of me because of you!
Why would I have a crush on you?
What?
So you were an architect.
Then follow my orders from now on.
No, thanks.
I've already got plenty of experience, so I would rather you just shoved off.
Regardless of how you feel, you'll be taking orders from me.
No way.
So, you're a Japanese ama diver. Do you know much about sea life?
Have you seen a poisonous octopus?
Nobody is better than me when it comes to stuff like that.
Hey, you. Hana. What's your specialty?
What? Oh, rock climbing and pretty much any outdoor activity.
Those aren't specialties.
That's the bare minimum. What else?
Nothing?
Then you're untalented.
You'll do jobs that anyone is capable of.
Hey, you. Haru.
Listen. Don't play any music.
We don't want to hear it.
And furthermore, don't even think about getting friendly with Koruri.
Those without a specialty get stuck on toilet duty.
Mix it up.
Mix it all up and turn it into fertilizer.
Hey, Plain Jane.
When you're done there, go and chop some wood.
"Plain, with no specialties..."
Nobody has ever told me that before.
Haru?
"You're just as plain, so you get to do the heavy lifting," was what I was told.
I told you! The three-point technique!
Don't overlook your foothold!
Momota?
Ms. Hana...
What are you doing to Momota?
Teaching him how to be useful so that he can survive in this world.
Providing you all with training was one of the duties we were given.
You've got one week to learn how to climb!
Are you kidding?
That's a Friends SLCD, isn't it?
My father used to have the same model.
Although most people use a Camalot these days.
Do you have a set of the most recent post-C4 version?
"C4"?
What? That harness doesn't look like
-the most recent model. -What?
I've done gliding a few times myself, actually.
Now that I look at it, this a pretty old model.
A "Camalot C4"?
What the hell is a C4? I've never even heard of that.
They told me my equipment was out of date, too.
Let me get this straight.
That means we were put to sleep earlier than them.
Yes, most likely.
How the hell are we outdated? We were the cream of the crop!
We were raised to be the absolute best, weren't we?
Are you going to build something here?
Well, just a small hut.
Kurumi and Ryuusei need space to themselves, right?
Does this mean that you're no longer opposed to them having the baby?
I'm still annoyed by it.
And my deep hatred for those who sent us here hasn't faded at all.
But I no longer feel like I'm trapped.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to criticize you.
I think it's perfectly natural for a parent to want their child to survive.
To be honest, I don't know how to feel.
I knew my father as an ordinary government worker,
and my mother as an ordinary housewife.
As it turns out, I didn't really know either of them.
It should be fine if I play this far from the village.
It's dangerous to walk around the forest by yourself.
Is that why you followed me?
Yes.
That Ango guy warned me not to get friendly with you.
So what's his deal? Is he your brother? Or your boyfriend?
Neither. He's just a friend.
Then I don't need to listen to him, do I?
I've always wanted to play Debussy's "Clair de Lune" under the moonlight.
-Haru! -I thought I told you
-to keep away from Koruri! -Cut it out!
Ango!
Haru didn't do anything wrong!
I knew it was dangerous for us to sleep in the forest without telling you.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
You know that's not what this is about.
Then what is it about?
What has made you so angry, Ango?
Can't I become friends with Haru?
Why? Is it because he's from another team?
Why do you get to decide that, Ango?
I'm going to check the water supply.
This isn't good. The water level is starting to drop.
The rocks are still wet, though, which means it's dropping fast.
The dry season is coming.
When it hits, wetlands and small rivers are sure to dry up.
Plants will wither and most animals will enter hibernation.
Let's head for the next spot.
Something reeks around here.
It's already a muddy swamp.
Be careful. It's deeper than it looks.
What do we do?
Go even further?
No. There's no point if it's too far away.
It's better for us to make a reservoir of our own now.
I agree.
This branch is hollow inside, so it makes a unique sound.
Maybe I'm more inclined to percussion instruments.
I should ask Koruri--
Hey! Has anybody seen Haru?
He was with us until a few minutes ago.
No clue.
That's weird.
Shouldn't he suspect Haru of meeting with Koruri in secret again?
I'm going to look for him!
I'll go with you.
Haru!
Haru! Where are you?
Haru!
Someone suddenly hit me from behind.
Keep your hands off Haru!
Don't make false accusations. I haven't done anything.
Ms. Hana. That's enough from both of you!
Hey, hold on a second.
That knife of yours, I've been curious about it since I've seen it before.
That's the exact same knife that we carry.
Why do you have one?
This isn't actually mine.
It's one my father used to have.
Ango, put the gun away.
Ryo?
They have the same mark of the sun on them.
A coincidence?
Impossible. These were specially made by the Japanese government.
So what was your father's name?
Takashi Sugurono. What about it?
Nijiko?
Professor Takashi's full name was...
Takashi Sugurono.
Professor Takashi was at the facility we were raised in.
He taught us.
He was one of the main staff members of the 7SEEDS Project.
My dad wasn't a professor!
He and my mother both died in the Ryugu Shelter.
Professor... Takashi...
Professor Takashi said that he would have a child next year!
Was that you?
You must have been born after we were put to sleep, right?
That can't be. My dad was...
Your father made a hobby out of killing people!
You were never meant to be here.
But he still put you here without testing.
He only did it because you're his child!
You didn't go through what we did! What Shigeru did!
He let you in without traversing that cursed mountain!
You're all scum...
You and Professor Takashi...
You're all scum!
All of you children are the chosen ones.
You were born from carefully selected eggs and sperm.
Each of you is special.
Why are you special?
Because you all have a duty to uphold.
You must train your bodies and your minds
in order to become perfect humans.
You must have the strength and knowledge necessary to survive in any environment.
Anyone who can't keep up will be immediately rejected.
Listen! You are the chosen few who will ride upon Noah's Ark!
Shigeru, I haven't gotten your report.
If you forgot it, go to your room and get it.
I'm sorry. I've been tired...
I mean, I didn't know what to write.
Professor, Shigeru has been training every day to climb the west cliff, so--
-Ango! -Don't make excuses!
Shigeru!
Wake up.
It's time for training.
Slowly. Be careful. You're almost there.
Nice. Grab hold with your right hand.
I came to realize that Shigeru was always by my side.
I keep telling you not to stretch your whole body like that.
Remember the three-point technique? Don't overlook your foothold.
-Shigeru! -Shigeru did it!
Shigeru and I will be together forever.
I swear, we'll be part of the seven who will go to the future.
We all grew up together.
Ango is a shoo-in for the team.
Of course, I am.
Yes. You'll make it for sure, Ango.
Hold up, Shigeru. Don't talk like you won't be chosen.
Oh, yes. I'll do my best.
Don't forget about us. We'll be picked, too.
My color is red.
And mine is yellow.
And I'm blue.
We made these matching friendship bracelets.
Quit making so much racket.
Ryo...
Only the best of us are actually going to be picked.
Like me.
We were told seven of us would be chosen at the age of 17...
because humanity faced extinction.
The chosen seven would be put into cryosleep during the impending cataclysm.
They would awaken in the future and create a new history for humanity.
Got them.
Hey! That was a human, Ryo!
He was holding a knife.
What about the child before that?
It had contracted a contagious virus.
How can you shoot a sick person? You can't make that call.
Idiot. We have to prepare for a desolate future.
I won't hesitate to shoot. Not even for a second.
Nobara...
I'll write you letters...
and I won't ever remove this bracelet.
Do your best, everyone!
-Nobara! -Nobara!
Good luck, you guys!
Best of luck to you too, Nobara!
Keep in touch!
We haven't heard anything from Nobara since she left.
I wanted to hear about the outside world.
I bet she's too busy having fun out there.
I sure hope so.
Hey, you bums.
This isn't the time to be flirting.
You don't even have proper tits yet.
You haven't even had your period, right?
Listen up. No matter how talented you are,
a chick who can't get pregnant won't be chosen.
You bastard! You fucking asshole!
Fuck you!
I was thrown into solitary as punishment.
We called it the "Red Room."
It was actually part of a device used to shred livestock to create fertilizer.
Blood... Bones... Brains?
A human...
Nobara...
I thought Nobara went to the outside world...
She should be having fun out there...
