Misaki: Kyah!?
SFX: Slice

02

Misaki(small): Why you!
Misaki: Settle down☆
SFX: Vwoh

Aleister: I grant you the rank of #1 Level 5.

Aleister: You deserve it for your contributions.
Aleister: I thank you.

03

PG: Your praise fills me with strength.
PG: If only you would stop making those vulgar jokes from time to time.

Misaki: Pant...pant...
Cube: Impressive you can get worn out in a mental world.
Misaki: That's partly your fault!

04

PG: Oh.

PG: The development there has crossed the mountain.
PG: A shame they filled in that lake. I really liked it.

PG: Academy City grows and develops.
PG: This is the product of romance.

PG: I will protect it no matter what.

Misaki: Such kind eyes.

05

SFX: Throb

PG: ...?
PG: What?

SFX: Blurrrr

PG: What is this?

PG: What is happening?

06

Scientist: It's corroding you.

Scientist: Synthesize Grid binds with and consumes all things.
Scientist: This means your body was no exception.

PG: Is there nothing you can do?

Scientist: It didn't affect you until now, so there may be a gene that prevents the bond.
Scientist: If I could find it...

PG: Really!?
Scientist: I'm only speculating.

Scientist: And even if I do find it...
SFX: Creak
Scientist: it will probably be too late.

Scientist: Unless you could transfer your mind to a new genetically-modified body.

07

Scientist: You need to avoid using your power!
PG: I promised to walk with him.
PG: I can't stop here.

PG: I must repay him.

PG: My body won't move.

08

PG: How pathetic.
PG: I did protect the city, at least.

PG: Let me hear your voice, Aleister.
PG: Hearing it will restore my strength.

PG: Connect me to the Windowless Building, Synthesize Grid.
SFX: Float

SFX: Float

SFX: Ksh
Aleister: What do you plan to do with Synthesize Grid?
PG: Is someone there?

09

Doctor: It is a doctor's duty to respect their patient's wishes.
Doctor: So I would prefer not to recommend this.

Aleister: No.
Aleister: She need not push herself.

Aleister: It is likely time.

PG: What does that mean?

10

Aleister: My plan is beginning to take shape.
Aleister: HE will eventually come to be...
Aleister: and nothing now stands in the way.

Aleister: The time to walk together has ended.

Aleister: Focus on healing her.
SFX: Squeeze...

SFX: Crush

PG: Why?

11

PG: Because my body is breaking down?

PG: Who is HE?

PG: The time to walk together has ended?

12

PG: I refuse to accept that!!

PG: Find the gene that works with Synthesize Grid.
PG: I will give you as many samples as you need.

PG: I must create a body capable of enduring my power.
PG: No matter what.

PG: No matter what!!

Scientist: What in the world happened?

13

PG: I can still fight.

PG: So do not look elsewhere.

PG: Look to me, Aleister!!

PG: Gemstones...

PG: Using Synthesize Grid's power...
PG: I should be able to create a natural Gemstone like me...
PG: rather than an esper created by Academy City.

PG: Much is still unknown about Gemstones.
PG: But solving that mystery would create an esper revolution great enough to surpass the city's resource limitations.

14

PG: Let's evolve together, Academy City.
PG: I will guide you.
PG: As the #1 Level 5.

SFX: Mutter mutter
PG: I'll request to test it on death row prisoners.
SFX: Mutter mutter
PG: I can provide plenty of samples by cutting off pieces of my own body.
SFX: Mutter mutter
PG: I can still be useful in this state. Heh heh heh heh heh.

PG: This will work! I will write a new page in scientific history, Aleister.
SFX: Crack crack crack
PG: I can already see your joyful face.

PG: We can work together...
PG: forever...

15

Aleister: Enough.

PG: Eh?

Aleister: You have more than fulfilled your role.

16

Aleister: It is time to stop walking.

SFX: Shudder

PG: Are you kidding me?
SFX: Crawl crawl

17-18

PG: That's not it, Aleister!

PG: Why won't you ask for my help?
PG: I want to use every last moment – every last cell – I have left for you.

PG: This is all I have.
PG: Please don't take it from me.

PG: I still haven't repaid you for anything.

19

SFX: Ksshh

Noukan: I had hoped you would support him.
Noukan: Fellow lover of romance.

PG: Where did I go wrong?

PG: I was finally needed.
PG: I had finally found a home.
SFX: Crack crack crack
PG: But now I've lost everything and am alone again.

SFX: Crack crack

SFX: Thunk
PG: No.

20

PG: I don't want to be alone.
PG: It's so lonely.

PG: Someone.
PG: Is there anyone there?

PG: I don't want to be alone...

21

Misaki: You're not alone!

Misaki: I saw your sorrow...
Misaki: your suffering...
Misaki: and your despair ability.
Misaki: I'm here with you.

22

Misaki: But you need to remember.
Misaki: Was Aleister all you cared about?
Misaki: Was that really all you loved...
Misaki: and wanted to protect?

Misaki: It wasn't, was it!?
Misaki: You were looking at it with such kind eyes!

Misaki: You love Academy City!
Misaki: So are you really going to destroy it?

Misaki: Academy City is not a tool to make Aleister notice you!
Misaki: YOU GOT CONFUSED about what you really want!

23

Misaki: It isn't revenge!

PG: What...is she saying?
PG: Destroy...Academy City?
PG: Me?

PG: -----!?

PG: What the hell!?
PG: I am bringing about Academy City's destruction!?
PG: The product of Aleister's and my romance!?
PG: I will not...

24

PG: let that happen!!!

Text: The Previous Generation has returned to her senses. Can she suppress the chain reaction soon enough!?
