Tsukasa Okino:
Hijiyama-kun… I'm sorry I called you simple. You really are reliable… Always have been.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Okino? Where’s this coming from?
Tsukasa Okino:
I keep calculating and recalculating and I always get the same result. I wish it was different, but… you deserve to know.
I measured the rate of incoming kaiju, and… we can't win. There's zero chance of surviving until tomorrow. A physical impossibility.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
…
Tsukasa Okino:
We failed. It doesn’t matter if we fight back… Our window is gone. It’s over.
…If you don’t want to tell the others, then… I understand.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
You understand nothing! Is that who you think I am? That I’ll just give up simply because I'm told to!?
I'm not just fighting for my own survival… You know it’s more than that.
Tsukasa Okino:
Hijiyama-kun…
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What an onslaught. It’s unbelievable that we’ve lasted even this long…
Ah, yes… Is Megumi Yakushiji-san all right?
Megumi Yakushiji:
Huh? I am, but… Why specifically me?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I have to look out for you! I’d never forgive myself if I couldn’t repay your kindness. You're the Yakisoba Pan Angel!
Megumi Yakushiji:
…
Iori Fuyusaka:
Oh… I knew I recognized you!
You're the yakisoba pan guy! Always wandering around school with one of them in your hand!
Keitaro Miura:
Takatoshi-san, is this really how they know you here…?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I, uh… well, you see, to protect the homeland…
Oh, hell with it… Yakisoba pan is the food of the gods, and I’ll never pretend otherwise!
