Uninstall.

Back then, the greatest shock to our reality...

was that our lives were so primitive and simplistic, it was laughing in our faces.

Even covering my ears, the truth slipped through my fingers and left me confused.

Where in my frail body am I supposed to hold the strength to stand?

Uninstall. Uninstall.

Right now, I can't even begin to understand...

how the countless lives on this planet are essentially one.

Uninstall. Uninstall.

It looks like I'll have no choice but to act as a soldier who knows no fear.

Uninstall.

Uninstall.

Onee-san, that's the wrong way of thinking.

Isn't respecting the student's feelings the first step to her ideal education?

There's nothing in here...

I love you.

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

Chizu-chan, hey!

What are you doing out at a time like this?

We would like to investigate this.

This unknown entity.

Take us there, now.

Kako-kun.

You idiot!

I killed him.

We're down a pilot, ain't we?

So it's me.

Chizu-chan...

I should keep fighting from where we left off, right?

That's pretty much it.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Dung Beetle, Kako-kun's corpse...

Want me to clean it up?

Please.

It's my fault that Kako-kun died.

That's why I'll crush that thing in his place, and atone for my sin.

Vengeance

Chizu! Be careful where you're walking!

Yeah.

Chizu, where are you going?

Don't tell us you plan on running?!

Hey now. Don't tell me this is what you meant?

I will atone for my sin.

Lots of people died who didn't have to, but one person's still alive... who I just can't forgive.

What's going on?!

Is the evacuation complete?

No... this district has yet to fully...

I'll report the information.

Captain Tanaka.

It looks like it's headed towards the pilot's hometown, but I don't know what he plans on doing.

The pilot is a child, after all.

Please don't forget that.

Ow, ow, ow...

I hope this'll work.

What is this guy doing...?

Chizu, where is that?

So you're still doing it...

Hey, who is this guy?

Chizu-chan, hey...

One of our teachers...

What? What's the point of seeing your teacher?

I won't kill you right away, Sensei.

S-Stop it, Chizu!

What kind of selfish things are you doing?!

Give it a break!

I don't care if you hate me for this.

That's not the problem here!

If you do something like this, then...!

Doesn't look like the enemy will wait for you.

Don't interfere!

Chizu!

You know what you have to do, don't you?!

I do.

I'll fight the enemy.

And die afterwards.

I've been thinking about it the whole time.

Why am I going to die?

Why do I have to die?

Is it coincidence?

An accident?

Was it inevitable?

Is it karma?

Chizu.

If I'm going to die, at least let me do what I want first.

Now, come on out, Sensei.

I don't know what happened between you, but haven't you done enough?

Just stop it already!

Fine. I'll finish it.

No!

Onee-chan...

Get out of the way.

Onee-chan, you moron...

You don't even know what kind of guy Sensei is.

But you're protecting him.

Chizu...

You were always too kind...

and never really understood anything.

But... I was the same.

I'm also too kind for my own good.

After coming this far, why can't I do it?

It's always like this.

I'm always half-assed at the most crucial moments.

Why am I always...

like this?

Bokurano.

Bokurano.

Chizu, behind you!

You don't plan to go down fighting?!

You said you would atone!

Fight!

Fight, damn it!

If you don't, it'll all be a waste...

Waku's death, Kodama's death...

All of it will be a waste!

Then... after I die, you'll be right behind me, right?

All of you will, right?

Chizu...

I have no choice but to fight.

This is the only thing I can still do.

Everything I disliked...

Everything I hated...

It was all within me, too.

It's the same for everyone.

Which is why...

I have no choice but to accept it.

And on this battlefield, I'm going to die.

Even though there was so much I couldn't stand...

After this...

I'll be satisfied.

Now, where's your vital point?!

I got it.

This is your weak spot, right?!

An overwhelming victory, huh?

And now... I die.

It's unavoidable.

I'm a bad girl, after all.

Doesn't it look kind of weird?

You don't think the hem's too long?

You'll grow into it soon enough, so this should be fine.

That's so cool, Onee-chan.

Hey, where's mine?

It's still a little early for you. You're about to enter elementary school, right?

I wanna go to the same school as Onee-chan.

Yeah.

I want to go together, too.

Yeah!

But that's not really possible.

Then, why don't I wait until you get older, Chizu-chan?

Really?

Yay!

Yay! Yay!

All right. Go take that off and get changed.

Okay!

Onee-chan...

Be happy.

Where's your house, Kirie-kun?

Ah... it's in the other direction, so it should be fine.

But anyway... she really went out with a bang.

I wonder how long it'll take to rebuild these houses back the way they were...

Who knows? If we could ask Kodama, he might've known.

A child was really riding that, huh?

Let's take custody of them immediately.

Please do so. If this gets out, we'll be eaten alive by popular opinion.

Is something wrong?

Can you see them?

The lights on Zearth's face...

You mean those?

Ah... I can't really see them from here.

Tanaka-san, you came!

You were watching, right?

Yes.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Kako-kun and Honda-san aren't here.

Kako-kun apparently died in the initial attack.

After that, Chizu was chosen as the next pilot.

I see...

Do we still have to keep going with this?

We're analyzing the data as quickly as possible.

I'm sorry.

Seki-san, can you see the lights on Zearth's face?

Two of them just went out.

Two?

And now there's nine left.

Can I see?

Moji-kun, what is it?

Ever since we saw the pictures of Zearth the other day, it's been bugging me.

Before today's battle, there were twelve lights.

They've decreased in number.

So what?

I thought the lights on Zearth's face might equal the number of our lives...

But... but then it's weird.

Three vanished, right?

But only Kako and Chizu died.

That doesn't make much sense to me, either.

Chizu... might have been pregnant.

She couldn't have been!

But now that you mention it...!

No way. Is that for real?

I could see it happening.

Then, that teacher from before was...!

That must be it!

Hey, Kirie-kun, is that true?

Well... I don't know for sure, but...

Give us a straight answer!

I didn't hear anything about it.

There's no way she would've told us something like that, right?

True...

Chizu might not've known herself.

Whichever it was... it's so sad.

Are you saying that Chizu's child was also contracted?

What the hell?

The lights are supposed to represent our lives, so they're gonna go out one after another like us?!

Seki-kun.

Yes.

We'd like to confirm something.

Were there any changes in the number of lights on the robot's face in the previous battle and the one before that?

Wait a sec.

There are eleven of us now, right?

But Kana-chan isn't contracted, so that means there are ten pilots left.

If there are only nine lights, then the numbers don't add up!

No. It looks like a light went out after every battle.

Which would mean...?

One of us isn't bound to the contract?

Why?! We all put our hands on that thing and agreed to it, didn't we?!

Everyone but her!

Then... it means one of us will be saved, doesn't it?

I wonder who it is...

But there's a problem.

Do you remember what Kokopelli said?

About how there were fifteen enemies?

Yeah, he did say that, didn't he?

The number of enemies remaining is...

E-Eleven?

It's eleven.

Yeah.

Because Kako didn't defeat his.

And then there's Chizu's child.

There aren't enough pilots.

At this rate, we're going to be missing two.

Tanaka-san, now that we're involved...

don't you think we should volunteer to be replacement pilots?

Yes.

Someone lay a branch beneath the baby bird's feet...

as a guidepost, so it won't get lost on the other side of the river.

Don't think that what you see here is everything there is to the world.

I watch your smiling profile as you gather the unripened blue berries.

I know they'll be bitter, yet your small wings shine brightly as you carry them.

Because you were born, you thought you were perfect.

You tried to fly off, but I held you back.
