Seigo: So it's over.

Seigo: I was worried the building wouldn't hold up, but you realized what I was trying to do.
Seigo: What a clever boy.

Gunha: Just smashing stuff is what gutless people do.

02

Seigo: The power gathered by Ideal...
Seigo: must be in constant motion to remain stable.
Seigo(outside): Just like electricity.

Seigo: Rampage Dress was convenient there.
Seigo: By repeatedly buffing and healing myself, I could use my body like I wanted again.
Seigo: And I can't complain about the power level when it let me fight against the #7.

Seigo: I'm glad those kids didn't have to play this role.

Gunha: But it was okay for me to do it?

Seigo: You had fun, didn't you?

03

Gunha: I did.

SFX: Appear
SFX: Pant pant
Ayu: What...
Ayu: is this?

Seigo: Can I ask for one last favor?

04

SFX: Wham

Ayu: D-don't carry a girl like luggage! How rude!!
SFX: Heartbeat heartbeat
Gunha: Sorry.
Gunha(small): Did it hurt?

Ayu: You did this, didn't you!?

Seigo: I asked him to.

Ayu: Why!? Why!? I didn't ask for this!!
Ayu: I didn't know you would get all beat up!
Ayu: I didn't know you'd be hurt!!

05

Seigo: I no longer feel pain.
Seigo(small): So I'm fine.
Ayu: That doesn't matter!!
Ayu(small): It distracts from the point!

Seigo: This was the only option.
Seigo: My body was barely holding on and I'd long since hit my limit.
Seigo: Rampage Dress's healing doesn't work on organs that were already lost.
Seigo: I was hoping it would, though.

Ayu: I don't care! I don't care! You didn't tell me!!

Seigo: My emotions have faded...
Seigo: but this let me feel something for once.

06

Seigo: It was fun, Sogiita Gunha.
Seigo: Let's fight again sometime.

Gunha: Sure.
Gunha: What's your name?

Seigo: Houjou Seigo.
Seigo: Seigo meaning "silent protector".

Gunha: Houjou Seigo.
Guha: You have a lot of guts.
Gunha: I won't...
Gunha: forget about you.

SFX: Jump

07

Seigo: Mitsuari Ayu.

Seigo: I forgive you.

Ayu: What? Why would I need that?

Seigo: I forgive you...
Seigo: for the things you've done and the things you will do.
Seigo: For everything.

Ayu: Did you hit your head?
Ayu: Are you seeing the same world I am?
Seigo: Maybe not.
Seigo(outside): I'm not sure how to put this.

08

Seigo: I regret what I did.

Seigo: On that day...
Seigo: back then...
Seigo: I wish I had found the words...

Seigo(flashback): Probably not.
Seigo(flashback): Those kids weren't gathered here to develop their powers.

Seigo: to take your side.

09

Seigo: My life is hanging on by thread...
Seigo: but that let me...
Seigo: reassess what I should do with my life.
Seigo: I'm glad I met you in the end.

Ayu: What?
Ayu: So you're going to die feeling satisfied?

Ayu: And then...
Ayu: leave me...
Ayu: all alone again?

Seigo: You will find someone else who needs you.
Ayu: I won't.

Seigo: You can't know that.
Ayu: I do know it!!

10

Ayu: I know!!
Ayu: Because...
Ayu: Because I...
Ayu: can read people's minds!!

Ayu: They all focus on my power.

Ayu: How strong is it?
Ayu: Has it grown?
Ayu: What style is it?
Ayu: It's all about my power.

Text: "Oh, you're not the Mental Out?"

Ayu: No one ever looks at me!

11

Ayu: No, maybe there was someone.
Ayu: But I can never see them again.

Ayu: I know how to get by in life.

Ayu: You say what people want to hear.
Ayu: You get along with them while keeping a healthy distance.
Ayu: You be friendly and forgiving.

12

Ayu: But...
Ayu: I no longer want to go on living.

Ayu: Because I'm empty.
Ayu: Empty.
Ayu: Empty.
Ayu: I'm just an empty...
Ayu: stereotypical "good girl".

Ayu: There's nothing to me☆

13

Seigo: But...
Seigo: you still tried to move forward.

Seigo: To live is only an instinct.
Seigo: But.
Seigo: To actively try to move forward...
Seigo: takes courage.

Seigo: Don't worry.
Seigo: You aren't empty.

14

Seigo: It doesn't matter if no one recognizes it.
Seigo: It doesn't matter if it's selfish and terribly personal.
Seigo: Just let out everything you're feeling.

Seigo: That will lead you to your path in life.

Seigo: You don't have to be a good girl.
Seigo: You can be a bad girl.

Seigo: You were all my precious-

15

Seigo: I had a colleague who talked about how much she loves kids.
Seigo: But I couldn't say I agreed with her.

Seigo: For some reason, men find they can't say things like that.

Seigo: I was so awkward.

Seigo: I couldn't even tell that girl it was okay to live the life you wanted.
Seigo: Even if she was a wingless ant.

Seigo: Oh, I hope...

16

Seigo: She can eventually find someone who can forgive her.

Seigo: A...
Seigo: rei...

Ayu: Hey, wait.
Ayu: Hey.

Ayu: At least tell me...
Ayu: you heard that.

17

Ayu: Why?
Ayu: Why is it always the kindest people...
Ayu: who suffer the most?

Ayu: I'm so sick of it.

Junko: Hee hee
Senya: That doesn't count! It doesn't!

20

Senya: But I did try really hard not to.

Senya: What to tell you first?
Senya: Me and my friend...
Senya: Oh!
Senya: I'll be picking out some clothes for her!
Senya: I can't wait!!
Senya(outside): I'll give her a real modern look
