ア01
Shu Amiguchi:
Those government spooks are keeping an eye on me.
At this rate…
They could just take me away, and nobody would ever know…
ア02
ア03
△Yuki Takamiya
Shu Amiguchi:
So she was watching me this whole time? On behalf of that shady outfit?
Is that what she approached me at all?
Yuki-chan…
No, wait…
I'm the one who approached her.
And she has to keep an eye on me?
Well, hey, maybe this isn't so bad after all!
△Yuki Takamiya
Shu Amiguchi:
So she's been monitoring me this whole time? She’s actually some secret-service government spy?
That’s crazy… Also, not gonna lie, weirdly hot.
ア04
Shu Amiguchi:
!
Miyuki Inaba:
Shu-kun, please help me…
ア05
×Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Hey!
Miyuki Inaba:
He knows I'm here now.
He's going to try to have me eliminated.
Shu Amiguchi:
What?
ア06
×Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Wait, wait―what do you mean, “eliminated”?
There's so much I still don’t get here.
I need a real explanation.
Miyuki Inaba:
I know…
But I had to hack my way in to reach you.
My connection won't last long…
ア07
△Testuya Ida→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
When you say “he”…
You mean Tetsuya Ida?
Miyuki Inaba:
Yes.
Shu Amiguchi:
Why is he after you?
Miyuki Inaba:
Because I'm helping you.
I was right.
He's trying to reset Project Ark.
Shu Amiguchi:
He wants to reset it?
What would that do?
Miyuki Inaba:
The world would be destroyed by kaiju.
Everything will be gone.
They want to start over…
They want to restart this world from the beginning. They’ve done it before.
And a reset means you would be erased, too.
ア08
×Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
You're talking about kaiju now…?
Miyuki Inaba:
You've already seen them….
Shu Amiguchi:
…
You mean those things in my dream?
Miyuki Inaba:
The Sentinels were built to fight those kaiju.
To defend the world you call home.
ア09
△Outer Walls→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
So it’s just space beyond the enclosure walls.
That means we’re in some huge spaceship, right?
Miyuki Inaba:
…
Shu Amiguchi:
Why does all of this exist? Why cover up the truth?
Miyuki Inaba:
There is a supercomputer hidden below your town.
We call it Universal Control.
It has led you to believe you live in Japan, in a certain historical era.
Shu Amiguchi:
Why?
Miyuki Inaba:
Possibly to make your lives easier.
Possibly to make you easier to manage.
Even I couldn’t tell you the real reason.
ア10
×Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
So why are you trying to help us?
Miyuki Inaba:
You still don’t know who I am?
You and I have met many times in your dreams…
△Yuki Takamiya→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Inaba… Miyuki…
…Miyuki?
Oho! Are you… Yuki-chan?
Miyuki Inaba:
No…
I'm not Yuki-chan.
Shu-kun… You really don’t know?
We’ve met in your dreams.
Please think a little harder…
△Yuki Takamiya→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Miyuki Inaba:
△Miyuki Inaba→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Well, you're… Miyuki Inaba, right?
Miyuki Inaba:
Yes… and no.
Miyuki Inaba is a disguise.
You should know what my real name is…
Please, give it some more thought…
△Miyuki Inaba→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
△Tetsuya Ida→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:]
Wait…
You're not Tetsuya Ida, are you?
Miyuki Inaba:
Uh…
You… might be overthinking this…
Shu-kun, please. We don’t have much time…
Please, give it some more thought…
△Tetsuya Ida→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Miyuki Inaba:
ア11
△Tomi Kisaragi→Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
Oh! That song… from my dream…
You don’t mean… you're…?
Miyuki Inaba:
You finally realized…
This is how I got past Universal Control.
I sang on an inconspicuous broadcast, with all my heart.
…Just I like used to.
Shu Amiguchi:
Kisaragi…
Miyuki Inaba:
Yes, it’s me.
But a different Tomi Kisaragi from the one in your world.
I'm not human aymore.
Just data on a computer.
But that’s exactly how I can still help you.
△Miyuki Inaba
Shu Amiguchi:
She's been reaching out to me…
Using my TV set to break through the walls that separate us.
She's the Tomi Kisaragi I saw in my dreams…
The Tomi Kisaragi who has no body left… Just a mind inside a machine.
ア12
×Miyuki Inaba
Miyuki Inaba:
Oh no…
He's at Sector 3’s terminal.
Help me, Shu-kun.
If we don’t stop him, he’ll erase me.
Shu Amiguchi:
What should I do…?
Miyuki Inaba:
Inside the outer walls…
I hid your Sentinel insi―
Shu Amiguchi:
Hey…
No, c’mon… Don’t leave me hanging like this!
ア13
×Change Channel
Shu Amiguchi:
She's gone…
…What happens if I go there? Can I really make a difference?
I can already tell this is gonna be a huge mess…
No, no…
A girl has asked for my help!
I can't just run away from this.
I’ll go.
And I’ll figure out the rest when I get there.
ア14
×Head to Outer Walls
Ryoko Shinonome:
Any sudden moves, and I shoot.
Shu Amiguchi:
Shinonome-senpai…?
ア15
×Ryoko Shinonome
Shu Amiguchi:
The door was locked. How did you get in?
Ryoko Shinonome:
I broke the lock.
Shu Amiguchi:
With that gun?
Ryoko Shinonome:
There was an agent, too. I put him to sleep.
ア16
×Ryoko Shinonome
Shu Amiguchi:
Oh, right… You were at the park with him…
Are you with this shady spy bureau, too?
Ryoko Shinonome:
Yes.
Shu Amiguchi:
So… What do you want with me?
Ryoko Shinonome:
I need your Sentinel.
Shu Amiguchi:
My Sentinel?
Ryoko Shinonome:
Call it here.
Shu Amiguchi:
…That’s a thing I can do?
I have no idea how.
ア17
×Ryoko Shinonome
Shu Amiguchi:
Senpai, I'm sorry…
But I've got something I need to do.
Ryoko Shinonome:
You want me to shoot you?
Shu Amiguchi:
I have to go stop Ida.
Ryoko Shinonome:
…
Shu Amiguchi:
…Huh?
Ryoko Shinonome:
Sounds like we’re on the same side…
