The destruction of the D-1 that appeared in the Pacific Ocean

on November 26th was confirmed at 16:37.

Our losses consist of one submarine and five aircraft.

5-A OOPART recovered after conclusion of situation.

At 17:20, abnormality detected in above OOPART.

Even now, we have not been able to stop

the luminescent phenomenon or the petrifaction phenomenon.

Will you have to attend the committee meeting after all?

It cannot be helped. It's part of my duties.

It is your obligation as someone in a position of responsibility.

Well, as for us,

since you provided us with the remains of yesterday's Dolem...

That must have been convincing

as to just how effective it is for TERRA to employ the 5-A.

That is exactly why this is no time for a committee meeting.

Major, that is how politics works.

Though Mr. Kunugi seems to dislike it.

After all, the 5-A and him are synchronized at this stage.

So, where is he now?

We'll need devices for collecting data while they're joined too.

Still, they're very similar.

Let's stop here for today.

We'll continue later.

Kamina Ayato, that's enough for tonight.

You can get off the bed.

Fifth Movement Nirai-Kanai

Oh, good morning.

How are you? Are you ready...

Commander, I've brought Ayato.

Sheesh, what's with those two?

It's practically like a fight between two kids.

But you know, don't you think he's pretty cute?

You think so?

According to the results of yesterday's examination,

it seems there is nothing physically wrong with you.

He's saying that he's glad you're not hurt.

It is only for the time being,

but your place of residence has been determined.

That's right.

Captain Shitow, please show him the way.

Yes, Sir.

All right, Ayato, let's go.

Don't touch me.

Man, looks like everyone's gotten on his bad side.

Well, not that it's surprising.

In that case, I will take him there.

You are?

Oh, I'm not one of these people. Is that okay?

Looks like it's decided then.

Well, shall we go?

Looks like he's got us there.

It's just a matter of procedure.

Then, Miss Haruka, the rest...

Megumi, can I see you for a second?

I actually have a favor to ask you. Do you mind?

No, Sir. What is it?

The truth is...

You don't talk much.

But that's far better than speaking unnecessarily.

You heard the Mu's song, didn't you?

Their singing is beautiful because it has nothing unnecessary in it.

By Mu, do you mean Churchward's?

That's just a myth.

But that's what we call them.

In the end, everything needs a name, right?

How were things today?

The doctor here is stupid.

If I was really healthy,

I wouldn't be undergoing medical examinations every day.

No doubt about it.

Help me.

Brother, can you come home today?

That's why I'm here, picking you up.

Thank you, Brother.

Brother?

Oh, I see.

These are called the front hooks.

I know.

This is the bay of Nirai-Kanai.

Nirai-Kanai?

That's the Okinawan version of utopia, isn't it?

You're very well informed for being so young.

Directly ahead of us, you can see Nirai Island.

The extension of the man-made structures for investigating the ruins

is the experimental maritime city, Kanai City.

There, you can see it to the right.

That's why it's Nirai-Kanai.

Pretty fancy pun, don't you think?

I see...

Ra-ra!

That's Commander Kunugi's personal plane.

He's apparently going to be operating in Kansai for a while

in order to protect your RahXephon in the Neriya ruins

from the ones clamoring about it.

That's right. It belongs to you.

You probably have a lot of wrong ideas about Commander Kunugi.

Look over there. See that?

That's Commander Kunugi's country house.

He might not seem it, but...

Yes, he's a very human person.

The trees you can see in his yard are cherry trees.

They're something of a sight of interest on this island.

I was invited for the first time just this past spring.

Those cherry blossoms were spectacular.

Welcome back.

This is Kamina Ayato.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome!

Oh, Miss Quon, your luggage...

It's okay.

Here's a recorded disc of the D-1 aria.

A new piece?

We conduct research on music here.

Excuse me, is she your wife?

Did you hear that, Doctor?

Sayoko is my most talented staff member.

I live alone with my younger sister in this house,

so feel free to come visit any time.

You should live here too.

Miss Quon would be happy to have you.

No...

The house I'll introduce you to is a much better place than this.

I guarantee it.

And my sister is actually pretty discriminating of strangers.

Are you sure that isn't still raw?

Draft! In a mug!

Starting at this hour?

You're drinking oolong tea, if I recall correctly.

Draft! One more!

You're a soldier, so if you've got a problem with an operation,

go complain to your own superior, okay?

I don't want to be used by someone who isn't even my superior.

Is that boy going to become one of your puppets too?

Already addressing me so rudely...

It's kind of hopeless if you lose favor with your puppet though.

Maybe you can become better friends with him

as a good woman rather than as a good person.

Are you certain it is all right to ease the surveillance on him?

If his biorhythm and his mental state

are spurring on this petrifaction phenomenon,

we have no choice but to get him to open up his heart.

Administering an electric shock to him

would do nothing to stop this phenomenon.

Here, you can have it.

It seems she prepared day-to-day items that might be useful to you.

The holes on the side...

Don't block them, okay?

Is the concentration camp still far from here?

I think that TERRA

is actually more considerate of your needs than you might think.

Besides, this is a nice island.

It's always overflowing with a stimulating, fresh atmosphere.

And the fish is good too.

We're going up this steep road in the car?

Oh, no.

Wait...

Hey, you're late.

Yes, yes, I'm late, okay?

Sheesh, so you're here already.

What do you mean by that?

Because the place you're staying at is her house.

Not my house! My UNCLE's house!

I just happen to be living next door, so don't get all excited.

No one's getting excited here.

What's with that attitude?

Whoa, talk about bad taste.

Quit commenting about every little thing.

Well, I'll leave the rest up to the young couple.

Aren't you going to eat?

I went to such trouble to buy them.

The city you were in...

The house you lived in... This must be a pretty big change.

I'm sure it'll take you a while to get used to things,

but just pretend like you're staying over at a relatives' place

and take it easy.

I...

I don't really know how that works,

since I've never gone to visit relatives before.

Hey, Meg.

There's still time until dinner, right?

Show Ayato around the area.

What? Remember what I always tell you.

Okay...

No, I'm fine, really.

So what does your uncle always tell you?

Are you really planning on living at my house?

Well, fine then!

Wait a minute!

Ow...

You can't do that.

Don't you ever leave because of a fight with me or something, okay?

You can't.

What's that supposed to mean?

Ma'am, I'm getting a ramune, okay?!

Aren't you going to get one?

I don't have any of your kind of money.

I see.

Don't stare at me like that.

Oh, no...

Use this.

That's okay, I don't want your handkerchief.

Don't act so familiarly towards me, okay?

Oh, my older sister lives in the annex with me,

so don't even think about sneaking in.

The school-phobic girl's out on a date!

So you refuse to go to school?

That's why you work part-time in the military.

Shut up!

I already told you, I don't want your handkerchief!

Fine, have it your way!

But who cares? At least you have a place you belong to.

What are you doing?

Are you a cameraman?

Nope, I'm a painter.

Or rather, a high school student aspiring to become a painter.

Wow, so Tokyo Jupiter has high schools and stuff too.

Of course!

I see.

Yeah, I guess so.

You want to go back?

Of course you do.

But there's nothing I can do about it right now.

I'm sorry.

About what?

For drinking all by myself.

I don't mind, but is that stuff good?

You don't know about ramune?

I know what it is, but I've never had any.

What's up with this?! I can't drink because of the marble!

What?!

You're such a dummy.

You hook the marble between the indentations in the bottle.

It's so cool out here.

What's this?

Who the heck would wear this?

Sheesh...

So that's what it was about.

Hey!

Hey, wait!

Little Elvy here!

I'm home!

This is not your home, okay?!

Are you going to throw up?!

Hey, are you going to throw up?!

Psych!

Buchi!

Where have you been?!

Oh, you're such a little baby!

Miss Haruka?

Then Megumi's older sister is...

Ayato?

Welcome back.

I'm home.

Little Mistress!

Draft, in a mug!

Who the hell are you calling a little mistress?

Thank you for the food.

He was right, the fish is good.

Dr. Kisaragi was saying how Nirai-Kanai is a great place.

Hey, you're a cute kid.

You just said yesterday that he was a stupid kid.

Wanna lock on to the nice lady? You know, lock on?

And let's dogfight until morning. Dogfight!

Ayato, can I see you for a second?

I have a little favor to ask of you.

Okay...

Mr. Rikudoh...

You can call me uncle.

Yes, Sir.

What is it?

What's the thing that you always tell Megumi?

Oh, no, it's no big deal.

Don't do things to other people that you wouldn't want done to you.

I just tell her to stick to that if nothing else.

Sorry to bother you, but would you go hang this by the entrance?

Kamina Ayato

Uncle?

What time is it right now?

It feels cool.

Looks like sending Megumi along was the right thing to do.

Is that you, Kunugi?

Oh, no problem at all! He's a nice young man.

Yeah, we'll take care of him here.

Comb my hair.

You know how they often say

that the reason cherry tree blossoms are red

is because there's a body buried at its base?

The cherry blossoms apparently get their color

by drawing on the red blood of the body.

The cherry trees in Commander Kunugi's yard

blossom into incredibly brilliant, blue flowers.

What kind of people are buried in his yard, do you suppose?

When can you look?

The truth of the dream...

When can you touch?

The truth of the love...

So can you feel...

The voice calling you?

At the far distance...

The sky is high...

The dark is deep...

The depth is waiting for the time...

Across to find the truth of the world...

Ah, RahXephon...

Fly me to the music...

When can you look?

The truth of the dream...

So can you feel forever...

Next RahXephon

Singing aurora...

Bitter memories...

Its image is that of something from the depths of her memory.

RahXephon, Sixth Movement: "Obliterated Cities"

The world, suffused with sound...
