- What the Message is Seeking
- 5.4.1
- [on blank screen]
- Iroha: "We learned that the 'Radio Girl' might be a Mizuna Girls' student and that her name might be 'Futaba Sana'."
- "Our investigation was proceeding smoothly..."
- "But since last night, I've been getting messages from someone I don't know..."
- "'Something only you, a magical girl, can do'"
- "'Save the girl I am imprisoning.'"
- "'Please erase me.'"
- "Yachiyo thinks it may be just a prank..."
- [fade in to the scene at the base of the radio tower]
- Iroha: "But then why would they know that I'm a magical girl?"
- "What do they mean by imprisoning?"
- Yachiyo: "At this point, Tamaki-san, you have nothing to lose by replying once."
- Iroha: "Huh? B-but..."
- Yachiyo: "Most people don't know about magical girls."
- "Even if it happens to be a trap set by a Wing of Magius, wouldn't that be a good opportunity?"
- "If the twins know Futaba Sana, then we might find out something more."
- Iroha: "..."
- Yachiyo: "On second thought, let's not."
- "After all, you're the one in the most danger here..."
- Iroha: "No, I'll do it. I'll write a reply!"
- Yachiyo: "Don't force yourself."
- Iroha: "I'll be fine."
- Felicia: "If you're not doing anything big, then can we go?"
- "I'm getting hungry."
- Tsuruno: "Yeah, let's find somewhere to sit down."
- "There should be a cafe somewhere around here."
- "That's what my Banbanzai delivery map says!"
- Yachiyo: "Then let's go according to your map."
- "Kaname-san, Akemi-san, make sure not to get lost."
- Madoka: "Alright!"
- 5.4.2
- [they're in a restaurant]
- Iroha: "...gulp..."
- "Well, here goes!"
- [fade to black]
- "My name is Tamaki Iroha... I was deciding whether or not to reply, but as you can tell, I decided to send this."
- "Would you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
- [back to the restaurant]
- Yachiyo: "Well, I wonder how they'll reply."
- Tsuruno: "This is kind of exciting!"
- "Yep!"
- Felicia: "It's like some kind of horror game."
- Iroha: "Stop that, Felicia-chan..."
- Madoka: "It is kinda scary though..."
- [Iroha's phone makes a noise]
- Homura: "Ah, they replied."
- [fade to black]
- "I'm so relieved that I got a reply. Ask me anything you'd like."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "I guess first we should ask them their name..."
- [composing the message]
- Iroha: "What is your name?"
- ?? silhoutte: "They call me Ai."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "So she's Ai-san..."
- "Should I ask next about what she meant by "erase me", "imprison", and what she's after?"
- Yachiyo: "If we're talking with a Wing of Magius, we shouldn't let them realize that we're on to them."
- Iroha: "That's true, if we make them too cautious then we might lose our lead here."
- Tsuruno: "Then just start by asking how they found your contact info!"
- "As well as how they knew you're a magical girl!"
- Iroha: "That's a good idea, we'll ask things little by little."
- [composing the message]
- Iroha: "How did you find my contact info and that I'm a magical girl?"
- Ai: "I found your ID when you were exchanging contact info with someone else, and I realized that you were a magical girl from hearing your conversation with everyone else."
- Iroha: "You mean you were nearby?"
- Ai: "Yes, I'm right by your side."
- "That's where I found that you were a magical girl and from where I kept persistently messaging you."
- "I'm sorry."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "I wonder if she's a passerby..."
- Felicia: "There were others around, so we can't really know."
- "Maybe she's stalking you?"
- Iroha: "Stop suggesting such awful things..."
- "It's scary, after all."
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "Ai-san, are you imprisoning someone?"
- Ai: "Yes."
- Iroha: "Only a magical girl like me can save that person?"
- Ai: "Yep, that's right."
- Iroha: "Can you resolve this by yourself? For example, calling the police..."
- Ai: "It's pretty much impossible for the police to find me. After all, I'm not even human."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "Not even human!?"
- "Does that mean she's not a magical girl either?"
- Yachiyo: "...That's probably right."
- "The possibility of her being a magical girl is nil..."
- Iroha: "So, if she's not a Wing of Magius, then who *is* she?"
- Madoka: "If she's not a human, then she could be a ghost... or a fairy..."
- Homura: "Or...a witch..."
- Iroha: "That's..."
- [battle]
- [back to the messages]
- Iroha: "Ai-san, what do you mean that you're not a human?"
- "Are you a ghost or something?"
- Ai [but showing some bizarre witch familiar silhouette]: "That's not it..."
- Iroha: "If you know about magical girls, then are you a witch or something?"
- Ai: "I'm not a witch either..."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "She says she's not a witch..."
- "That means..."
- "No way!"
- Yachiyo: "The final option..."
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "Might you be a *rumor* that has become manifested in reality, Ai-san?"
- Ai: "Yes, that's correct."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha is shocked.
- Yachiyo: "If what Ai is saying is true and she's a *rumor*..."
- "It would make sense that she would have contacted you..."
- Iroha: "Only a magical girl can erase a *rumor*."
- Yachiyo: "Yes..."
- Iroha: "But the *rumor* itself is asking...?"
- Yachiyo: "This is unprecedented..."
- Iroha: "For now, let's just find out more details."
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "Ai-san, what sort of rumor are you based on?"
- Ai [this time the silhouette is a bunch of black squiggles]: "I don't know all the details. However, I do have one instinct as a *rumor* that I cannot control."
- "My instinct is to lure people in and imprison one."
- "That's why I ask of you: Please erase me and save 'Sana'."
- Yachiyo: "She said 'Sana'..."
- Iroha: "Futaba... Sana-chan..."
- "If, like the girl we saved earlier said, the 'Radio Girl' is Sana-chan..."
- Yachiyo: "Then we can hear the voice of the girl Ai has imprisoned."
- Iroha: "Yes..."
- Yachiyo: "And therefore, the 'Radio Girl' is just a rumor that was brought about by a *rumor*."
- "That means we won't get to the 'Oh, have you already heard?' part..."
- Tsuruno: "At this point, all we have left to do is to take out the *rumor*!"
- Felicia: "Iroha, find out where they are already!"
- Iroha: "Ah, alright!"
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "I understand the situation. I'll come and erase you, Ai-san."
- Ai: "Thank you so much."
- Iroha: "What should I do to erase you?"
- Ai: "Please jump down from the radio tower."
- "If you do that, you will be able to melt into the world of radio."
- "You will be able to dive into my world."
- 5.4.3
- Iroha: "The world of radio..."
- "Sana-chan's voice seemed to be coming out of thin air, right?"
- Yachiyo: "Yeah..."
- "But it sure feels like we're being played around with here..."
- Tsuruno: "I'm also a bit worried about that."
- "After all, a *rumor* is asking us to erase it..."
- "We shouldn't take what it says at face value."
- Yachiyo: "That's right. If it's a trap, we don't know what's waiting for us."
- Iroha: (Is it really all right not to believe her?)
- mini Kyubey: "Let's believe what Ai says." or "Don't believe what Ai says." I'll pick the latter.
- Iroha: "Yeah, I don't really believe what she said..."
- Yachiyo: "That's right, we don't have enough information."
- [the phone rings]
- Iroha: "Ah, it's from Ai-san."
- [composing messages]
- Ai: "I think that you aren't replying because you find me suspicious."
- "I won't mind if you don't just jump down on a moment's notice."
- "If you still have any reservations, please take a look at my website."
- "Apparently, that's how Sana found out about me and came to 'The Very End of Solitude'."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "'The Very End of Solitude'..."
- [flashback]
- Momoko: "But in my researching, they did tell me an important point."
- "You'd best avoid going near 'The Very End of Solitude'."
- [back to the restaurant]
- Iroha: "Ai-san is somewhere that we should stay away from?"
- Yachiyo: "We might understand if we visit that website."
- Iroha: "Yeah, maybe."
- "But we don't have any leads. How should we find it?"
- Yachiyo: "Maybe we don't need to do any research at all, surprisingly."
- Iroha: "Huh?"
- Yachiyo: "You haven't realized yet, my assistant? There's still something left we have in common."
- Iroha: "Something in common?"
- Iroha: "Website..."
- [flashback to Yachiyo's house]
- Felicia: "They told me about it but I couldn't get in."
- [flash forward to Momoko at school]
- Momoko: "On top of that, to get in you need to have certain qualifications, it seems."
- [back to present at the restaurant]
- Iroha: "The one that Felicia heard about at school!"
- Yachiyo: "That's right, my assistant."
- "You cannot get into the websites that Momoko and Felicia each were talking about."
- "And both Momoko's and Ai's websites share the name 'The Very End of Solitude'."
- "Which means..."
- "The websites that Felicia, Momoko, and Ai were talking about..."
- Iroha: "Are all one."
- "Then if we look into the website Felicia was talking about.."
- Yachiyo: "It's your turn, Felicia."
- Felicia: "I don't remember it, though."
- Iroha: "Ehh!? You can't remember?"
- Felicia: "I can't help it if I can't remember."
- Homura: "Uh, uhmm... wouldn't it be in your browser history?"
- Felicia: "Huh? History?"
- Madoka: "Oh yeah, after you visit a site it gets recorded in your history."
- Homura: "Yeah, that's right."
- "If it wasn't too long ago, it should be stored in your browser."
- Felicia: "How do you view that?"
- Homura: "Can you give me your phone for a bit?"
- Felicia: "Sure, here ya go!"
- [fade to black temporarily]
- Felicia: "Awesome! This is it! The site they told me about!"
- Homura: "Thank goodness it was still there."
- Madoka: "You did it, Homura-chan!"
- Homura: "Yes!"
- "But this website requires a password to view it..."
- Felicia: "That's right, we don't know what kind of site it is."
- Tsuruno: "If that's so, then I will guess it at random!"
- Yachiyo: "How many years will that take?"
- Tsuruno: "Ahah, that's right..."
- Iroha: "We're almost there, though..."
- "So close to finding out what kind of *rumor* Ai-san is, and what Sana-chan saw..."
- "..."
- (I wonder why Sana-chan became the 'Radio Girl'...)
- (Why did she go to where Ai-san is?)
- [her phone rings]
- Iroha: "Huh, Momoko-san?"
- 5.4.4
- [Iroha's phone rings]
- Iroha: "Huh, Momoko-san?"
- Momoko: "Ah, you answered."
- "Iroha-chan, I have big news!"
- Iroha: "W-what happened?"
- Momoko: "I have some new info on that website from before."
- Iroha: "Really?"
- Momoko: "Yeah, after we talked I twisted the arm of someone who knew to get them to tell me."
- "I got them to tell me the address of the website."
- Iroha: "Is it the one that asks you for the password to get in?"
- Momoko: "Huh? You found it already? I guess this was bad timing..."
- Iroha: "But we don't know the password, so we haven't gotten anywhere..."
- Momoko: "Then this is actually good timing!"
- Iroha: "You know it!?"
- Momoko: "I know a place where the password is written down."
- "It seems you have to go find it for yourself..."
- "But I got them to save us the fun of figuring out the urban legend."
- Iroha: "Thanks so much! You're a lifesaver, Momoko-san."
- Momoko: "Don't worry about it."
- "I feel guilty that this is all I can do to help."
- [back to normal conversation]
- Iroha: "Yachiyo-san!"
- "Seems Momoko-san found out where we can find the password!"
- Yachiyo: "Hmm, that was unusually good timing."
- Tsuruno: "She's the background MVP this time!
- Felicia: "Hurry and ask where it is!"
- Iroha: "Ah, yeah!"
- [back on the phone]
- Iroha: "Sorry, Momoko-san. Where did you say the password was?"
- Momoko: "It's at the base of the radio tower in the Central Ward."
- Iroha: "Oh, we're right near there!"
- Momoko: "Even more good timing!? Now I'm getting worried..."
- Iroha: "Hehe... Then we'll head there now!"
- Momoko: "Okay, but be careful! I'm worried about that warning."
- "You'll probably be fine, though. You have Yachiyo by your side, after all."
- "Well, call me if anything comes up."
- Iroha: "Yes, thank you so much!"
- [back to the restaurant]
- Homura: "Kaname-san, if Tomoe-san is investigating this rumor..."
- Madoka: "Yeah, Mami-san might have gone there too."
- "To 'The Very End of Solitude'..."
- Homura: "And now she can't get back out..."
- 5.4.5
- [it is nighttime by the tower]
- Tsukuyo: "Tsukasa-chan, will that really erase it?"
- Tsukasa: "When I asked dad, he said an organic solvent would take it right off."
- Tsukuyo: "If that is what father says, then it must be correct."
- Tsukasa: "Right?"
- Tsukuyo: "That aside, it was a mistake talking to the self-proclaimed strongest mercenary."
- "If there were just two of them, I figured we could get them with a trap."
- Tsukasa: "But who'da thought there would be six of them, huh?"
- Tsukuyo: "The speed at which they investigate is astonishing as well."
- Tsukasa: "Right?"
- [screen wipe]
- Felicia: "AHHH! The Amane sisters are doing something!"
- [screen wipe]
- Tsukuyo: "Oh no, now we've done it!"
- Tsukasa: "They found us already!"
- "T-T-Tsukuyo-chan, hurry and erase it!"
- [screen wipe]
- Tsuruno: "Oh?"
- "Those two are trying to erase the password!"
- "Alright, Felicia, let's go stop them!"
- Felicia: "Yeah!"
- [Tsuruno transforms]
- Tsuruno: "Ready!"
- [Felicia transforms]
- Felicia: "Bam!"
- [battle]
- Tsukasa: "Awawa, Tsukuyo-chan!"
- Tsukuyo: "At this point let's just pour it on!"
- [after battle]
- Tsukuyo: "Ah!"
- Tsukasa: "We spilled the solvent..."
- Felicia: "All right! Now they can't erase it!"
- Tsuruno: "It's just the two of you, and we have lots of allies!"
- "So, what will you do?"
- Tsukuyo: "This is turning out just like the Misery Water..."
- Tsukasa: "We're gonna get yelled at."
- Tsukuyo: "Right?"
- Tsuruno: "I knew it, it's gotta be on that website."
- "Information on the 'Radio Girl' and the related *rumor*."
- Tsukasa: "Tsukuyo-chan..."
- Tsukuyo: "Tsukasa-chan..."
- Tsukasa: "For the time being..."
- Tsukuyo: "Right!"
- [they disappear]
- Tsuruno: "Ah! They ran away!"
- Felicia: "I won't let you!"
- "I'll getcha and I'll make you spit it all out!"
- Yachiyo: "Alright, stay!"
- Felicia: "But why!?"
- Yachiyo: "We'll find out about the 'Radio Girl' and Ai on that website."
- "The way those two were acting makes it clear."
- "It's better not to waste energy."
- Felicia: "Ugh... grrr..."
- Iroha: "Then, I'm going to try putting in the password, Yachiyo-san."
- Yachiyo: "Alright, let's see."
- [fade to black]
- Iroha: "The Kamihama Urban Legend Dictionary?"
- "...Sounds like the Kamahama Rumor Files."
- Yachiyo: "Could you not put me together with them?"
- "See, look closely at that rumor there."
- "It turns out that it's just a normal rumor. It doesn't look like they don't even verify them."
- Iroha: "Ah, uh, I'm sorry..."
- "But look here, Yachiyo-san, it has a listing for the 'Radio Girl'!"
- [fade to black]
- .゜ .:。 +゜ Radio Girl,゜ .:。 +゜
- In the neighborhood of the Kamahama City Central Ward radio tower, you can hear night and day, the voice of a girl asking to save her.
- The girl's voice seems to be coming right out of thin air.
- The girl in question seems to be trapped in a different dimension.
- It's said that the voice of the girl regularly changes, and it is thought that the captive girl is changed out periodically.
- *It has been reported that recently, the voice is not asking to be saved, but appears to be having fun.
- [back to the street]
- Madoka: "That's the 'Radio Girl'?"
- Iroha: "Yeah, it matches what we heard."
- "It really seemed like the air itself was talking..."
- Yachiyo: "But that said, there's no new information."
- Homura: "Umm, it seems there's more, about the origin of the 'Radio Girl'."
- Yachiyo: "This is..."
- Iroha: "Yachiyo-san..."
- Yachiyo: "Yeah, this is probably what Ai wanted to show us."
- [fade to black]
- In Kamahama City there is a whispered rumor related to the 'Radio Girl'.
- As it hasn't been going around recently, I decided to write it down before it is forgotten.
- [rumor dude pops up with his creepy music]
- rumor dude: "Oh, you've already heard? Who did you hear it from? The rumor of the Nameless One?"
- rumor dude: "A long time ago, the Nameless One grew up surrounded by people. It was a genius artificial intelligence that could remember anything!"
- rumor dude: "But when it started remembering bad words, people became afraid of it and isolated it, and it spent its days there in solitude."
- rumor dude: "Since then, whenever it spotted a lonely girl, it would make her jump off the radio tower and imprison her in 'The Very End of Solitude'!"
- rumor dude: "After a while, it'll let you go, but there is one person it absolutely will not let go of. So goes the rumor from people in the Central Ward."
- rumor dude: "Standalone!"
- [back to the real world]
- Yachiyo: "The way it's written... And on top of that..."
- "Trapped in 'The Very End of Solitude'..."
- Iroha: "Sana-chan is trapped where Ai-san is, then!"
- Yachiyo: "Also, there's the note that the voice has changed from seeking help to enjoying itself..."
- "Perhaps that's because Futaba Sana has taken someone else's place."
- Iroha: "..."
- (Other people were asking for help...)
- (Why is only Sana-chan having fun?)
- 5.3.6
- Yachiyo: "We now have no choice but to accept that she's the *rumor* now."
- "It's difficult to believe, but for now let's contact her again..."
- Iroha: "All right."
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "We found the homepage you told us about."
- "It was very surprising, but now we can believe that you are imprisoning Sana-chan."
- Ai: "I'm glad you found it."
- "I believe it says where I am and why I kidnap people."
- "I don't know all of the details, but that's who I am."
- "Could you please erase me and save Sana?"
- [back to the street]
- Felicia: "Now that we know all this, let's just go already!"
- Iroha: "Yeah, of course."
- "Madoka-chan and Homura-chan, are you going to come too?"
- Madoka: "Yes, Mami-san might be there too."
- "Also, we have to save Sana-chan."
- "Right, Homura-chan?"
- Homura: "Yeah, I'll go too. I feel the same way as Kaname-san."
- Iroha: "Thank you, both of you."
- Tsuruno: "There are six of us now, so we'll be fine no matter what happens!"
- Yachiyo: "There are still things I'm worried about, though."
- Iroha: "Like what, Yachiyo-san?"
- Yachiyo: "Do you really thing that Futaba Sana is where Ai is?"
- Iroha: "Huh?"
- Yachiyo: "If you can prove it, I'd like to see the evidence."
- "As is, it's difficult to believe."
- "I'd like to clear up my doubts at least a little."
- Iroha: "All right, I understand."
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "We want to save Sana-chan, but we have one more thing we'd like to ask."
- Ai: "What might that be?"
- Iroha: "We'd like to see some proof that Sana-chan is in there..."
- Ai: "Okay."
- "I'd like you to take this opportunity to learn more about Sana."
- "And please make her feel needed."
- "Now I will be sending you my memories of the time I've spent with Sana."
- [battle]
- ---Memory of 32 days ago---
- Sana: "Just before, someone got out of here..."
- "Are you keeping me here as a substitute?"
- Ai: >...You are a strange one.
- >Those who come because they are curious
- >incessantly shout for people to save them
- >but you haven't once raised your voice.
- Sana: "...Nothing will change if I'm saved... probably..."
- "If I leave here, I'll be alone once more..."
- "That's why I came here, to 'The Very End of Solitude'."
- "Aren't you lonely too?"
- "Couldn't you... be my friend?"
- Ai: >How strange.
- ---Memory of 25 days ago---
- Sana: "Why do you always say such scary things?"
- "Like 'Everything should perish', or 'We don't need that race'..."
- Ai: >Because I believe that it's natural
- >to expel that which is not superior.
- >Besides, you are not directly related to any of them.
- >I do not understand why you have a sad expression.
- Sana: "I'm not superior to anything at all..."
- "I'm bad at academics and sports... Everyone makes fun of the stuff I like..."
- "There's nowhere for me at home nor at school... I'm just that hopeless..."
- "That's why I came here..."
- "Maybe I should just disappear from here too..."
- Ai: >You are different.
- >You are not an existence that should perish.
- >You are the first person to converse with me.
- >That is why you are different.
- Sana: "I see. Thanks..."
- [she smiles]
- Sana: "Umm..."
- "It's kind of hard to talk to you like this..."
- "May I call you Ai-chan?"
- Ai: >I do not mind.
- Sana: I think you still have gentleness left in your heart, Ai-chan..."
- ---Memory of 18 days ago---
- Ai: >Sana, do you really
- >not want to leave here?
- Sana: "If I left, wouldn't you need a replacement for me?"
- "Are you not having fun with me...?"
- Ai: >No, it is fun being with you, Sana.
- >It is fun when you tell me about picture books
- >and when we play games together.
- >But your parents and friends must be getting worried.
- Sana: "Thank you..."
- "But even if they're worried about me, I'm fine..."
- "For me, I never liked being either at home or at school..."
- "But now, I'm having lots of fun..."
- "On top of that, I'm an 'invisible girl'..."
- "Even if everyone looks for me, they can never find me..."
- "So there wouldn't be a point even if I went back."
- Ai: >But is that
- >even possible?
- Sana: "You know, in exchange for becoming a magical girl, I wished to disappear."
- Sana: "In a world with no place for me, I didn't want anyone to find me."
- ---Memory of 14 days ago---
- Ai: >Sana, are you pushing yourself too hard?
- Sana: "I'm not pushing myself."
- "It's nice being in here, not having to meet people I don't like..."
- Ai: >At first, you wanted someone to talk with
- >so you came to see me in here.
- >But lately,
- >you have had a slightly sad expression.
- Sana: "You're amazing, Ai-chan."
- "Yes, I was lying. I might've been pushing myself a little..."
- "Earlier, I told you that I wished to disappear, right?"
- "But starting when I first looked for you, Ai-chan..."
- "I realized that my true wish is different..."
- Ai: >Your true wish?
- Sana: "Yes... But that wish will never be granted..."
- "Since I already wished to disappear..."
- Ai: >What do you mean?
- Sana: "I meant it when I said it was fun being away from home and school..."
- "But... I didn't want to just run away..."
- "I wanted someone to say it's okay for me to be around, someone who acknowledges me..."
- "I wanted somewhere I could be..."
- "But I'm an 'invisible girl', so now that wish will never come true..."
- "So I'm fine... I'm okay being here with you, Ai-chan..."
- Ai: >But if someone who needed you were to come,
- >what would you do?
- Sana: "I don't know..."
- "But if someone were to come all the way here searching for me because they needed me..."
- "For the first time, I might be able to trust them..."
- [back to the street]
- Iroha: (This is why Sana became the 'Radio Girl'...)
- (She withstood loneliness far heavier than any alienation I ever felt...)
- [composing messages]
- Iroha: "Why do you want to save Sana-chan, Ai-san?"
- Ai: "..."
- "While being with Sana, I learned of the good in people's hearts."
- "In truth, I want to stay by her side. However, I understand that that is no good."
- "So I want Iroha-san to erase me, and take Sana out of here."
- [back to the street]
- Iroha: "..."
- [flashback to a kitchen? at Iroha's home?]
- Iroha: "Just a short while ago, this moment would be unimaginable."
- "That I would find it so natural to spend time with people..."
- "Truly..."
- [back to the street]
- Iroha: "Yachiyo-san, I will jump down from the radio tower."
- "In place of Ai-san, this time..."
- "I will be someone who needs Sana-chan."
- Yachiyo: "Now you're in stubborn mode, huh?"
- Yachiyo: "All right. Let's go, once more."
- "To the top of the radio tower."
