A dream?

So you created it all...

No. They are all real worlds.

There are many such worlds that might have been.

"Might have been"?

I believed that somewhere there would be a world with no sadness. And so I searched.

But I was wrong.

We cannot change the past.

But we can change the future.

Ensign Kureha.

Lt. Commander...

Forge the future... and new hope.

Misaki!

Saturn?

Have I returned?

Suzanna!

Suzanna, do you read me? This is Lt. Commander Ertiana!

Suzanna!

This is Suzanna. So you're all right!

Suzanna, we're going to search for Misaki... I mean, Ensign Kureha.

That means you, too.

M. a' am?

What's wrong?

Lt. Commander, um...

Who did you say we're going to look for?

What?!

We had returned.

But the person known as Misaki Kureha was gone.

No. She wasn't merely "gone"...

It was as if she'd never existed.

You want to visit the families of those who fell in combat?

I see. So it's already been a year since then, has it?

This is just like you...

Very well.

I'll put in a request for you to go to Earth.

The bird alights in the garden of the stars...

I've searched time and time again.

But the truth has remained silent.

Misaki

The sea's risen this much in only five years?

All these pictures of me...

To make this miracle a reality...

That was Luxandra's most prized possession.

Ensign Frail's?

You know, Luxandra was also on the boat you saved that time.

Being assigned to your unit made her really...

She wrote this in her last letter...

It made her really happy.

Do you think you'd be able to tell me how she died?

The military hasn't told you anything?

Only that she died in an accident.

It was an accident involving highly classified matters, so I cannot disclose the full details.

But I can say one thing:

Ensign Frail fell protecting the lives of other people at the base.

Thank you very much.

Lt. Commander!

Lt. Commander, when you return to the base,

please give my regards to those two cadets Luxandra spent all that time with.

"Two"?

Does this mean you intended to resume the aborted terraforming project?

Correct.

It can't be...

Did Earth send word that they can't accept us back?

Yes. However, that doesn't mean we can keep 10 million people aboard the Ring indefinitely.

But how do you plan to get back to that star system now that Watcher's Nest has been destroyed?

You're forgetting something very important.

Our power.

"Our"? You mean human technology?

Yes.

We've become enamored of these Inflation Holes,

but our path has always been forged with our OWN strength.

Wouldn't you agree?

Commander...

That's what she told me. She was very upset, you know.

Upset? Who?

Lt. Commander Ertiana!

She has not given up, even now.

Or rather, she believes in what we were trying to do on that far-off world.

She's right. We mustn't give up.

We can't abandon Mankind's dream.

Next up is Alchemy, huh?

I heard that Kotoko's repairs are complete.

Lyar! I heard that Kotoko's repairs are complete.

Kotoko!

Are you all right?

My legs are still a little shaky, but everything else is just fine!

Really? Well, I'm glad to hear it.

Kotoko, I want you to tell me...

About Misaki.

Misaki!

Don't you remember?

There's nothing about her in my data banks.

Nothing?

You're acting strangely, Lyar. Is something wrong?

Uh, no. It's nothing.

Nothing...

Can I really trust my memories?

LeBlanc!

You're Lt. Commander Ertiana, correct?

I am in charge of the Research and Development department here.

My name is Jalabert.

Jalabert?

You've come to inquire about the researcher, Prim Snowlight?

Lt. Commander?

Yes. You see, during the evacuation of Watcher's Nest,

there was an accident involving the accelerator, and...

This is most unusual.

There is indeed someone named Snowlight at our laboratory,

but she has never been dispatched to Watcher's Nest.

She's never been?!

Prim didn't go to Watcher's Nest?

Excuse me...

Suzanna!

What brings you here?

Well, it's just...

I thought if I came here I'd be able to see Lt. Commander Ertiana.

The Lieutenant Commander?

She's gone to Earth.

Earth?

Yes. She's going to see the families of the people who died...

I mean, the team members who lost their lives during a project undertaken at Watcher's Nest;

she's going to tell their families about the accident.

I see... That must be tough.

Suzanna, you wanted to see the Lieutenant Commander about something?

Yes. Actually, I'd heard the emigration project was going to be started again, and...

Oh, that?

Yeah, I hear they're going to use the first interstellar spacecraft.

It's going to be really amazi...

How would one go about joining the engineering department?

Do you mean yourself?

Prim!

Prim! It is you, isn't it?

Uh, yes...

But, who are you?

It's me! Lyar!

Never mind. I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else...

But you just said my name!

The simulation results are in.

And?

As Commander Woerns' report indicated,

conjecture based on the collapse of the Titan Hole

indicates that the Inflation Hole near the Watcher's Nest has also terminated.

So the shadow of Ghoul has vanished?

Did Juzoh Kureha have any children?

No. His wife died very young.

I see. In that case...

This is the last survivor of the Kessler Project?

Yes, Sir?

Contact Vice Minister Son of the board of directors immediately.

Tell him it's about the plan Commander Woerns submitted to us, and he should understand.

I'm sure my sister would be glad if you took this instead.

Me?

She never talked much about the military or anything.

But just once, she sent me a letter...

Lt. Commander.

If you stop believing in Misaki, then she really will disappear.

I see...

You're right, Kiri.

2327.

Ten years after the Exodus,

mankind once again set out into space.

Yes, to reclaim a dream it had left behind in a far-off place.

Kiri...

It's already been 60 years since we left the Earth.

Even so, all passengers aside from the crew have been put into artificial hibernation,

and won't really experience the effects of time.

But me?

Well, I'm the captain.

There are things I have to stay awake in order to do.

Even so, I'm alternating "shifts" with two vice-commanders,

which means I'll spend just 20 years,

or 1/3 the distance to our destination, awake aboard this ship.

"Just" 20 years, huh?

What is it?

We've been receiving this signal intermittently since yesterday.

A signal?

Can you decode it?

I'l try.

This is...

from Seraphim...

Ensign Kureha!

If anyone... Ensign Kureha!

If anyone...

receives this message... You waited for me?

please... You waited for me?

to Lt. Commander... Ertiana. You waited for me?

to Lt. Commander... Ertiana. It really... it really was true.

It really... it really was true.

Everything...

I'm... all right.

Seven years?

It will take that long just to install it?

Yes.

Even though it worked fine on the experimental craft,

this is still the first time we've tried to operate an interstellar ramjet of this size.

The necessary field strength will increase by a power function of E, right?

Lt. Commander? What's wrong?

I heard this is the best place to observe the ship.

Oh, I see.

You've expressed interest in being ship's captain, haven't you?

I received word yesterday that I've been unofficially appointed.

Really?

Oh, Prim, you haven't met the Lieutenant Commander, have you?

You're the one from...

Yeah.

Say, you specialize in theoretical physics, don't you?

Yes...

There's something I'd like to ask you.

Yes?

Can I keep on believing? For another 70 years?

Do I have that kind of strength?

Lt. Commander? I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

But I would find that strength in a most unexpected place. Lt. Commander? I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

But I would find that strength in a most unexpected place.

It's a girl, Ma'am.

Is that right? A girl, huh?

Lt. Commander, I'd like to ask you a favor.

We'd like you to pick a name for her.

You want ME to choose a name?

But, I...

Please.

Our daughter would be delighted if you'd name her.

Nodera...

I'd like you to name her, too.

After all, this is the first child born since we decided to leave the solar system.

The first one born...

The future?

Yes... That's it, isn't it?

We have to go on believing, and live our lives with hope!

That's right.

Nodera, I only know one Japanese name.

If it would be all right with you...

Certainly!

But what name is it?

It's...

"Misaki."

Misaki?

It means "cape,"

as in a large portion of land that pushes out into the ocean.

As of now, your name is Misaki.

Lt. Commander, thank you.

My pleasure.

Yes, that's right.

We mustn't lose hope... or our sight of the future.

This is... Kureha...

Can you hear that, Kiri? It's Misaki's voice.

if anyone receives this... Can you hear that, Kiri? It's Misaki's voice.

message... please... Can you hear that, Kiri? It's Misaki's voice.

Lt. Commander... Can you hear that, Kiri? It's Misaki's voice.

Lt. Commander... A journey of 60 years...

This is... Kureha... A journey of 60 years...

and at the end, a voice from a forgotten time spoke out to me.

Yes... It was all true!

Captain! It's Watcher's Nest!

There are still indications of a collapse, but it looks about the same as our original data.

What does this mean?

Watcher's Nest is the way it was BEFORE the accident?!

Captain, we're receiving a signal!

Let's hear it!

This is Ensign Kureha from Seraphim.

If anyone receives this message,

please inform Lt. Commander Ertiana...

Can you locate the source of the transmission? please inform Lt. Commander Ertiana...

Can you locate the source of the transmission? that I'm all right.

If we receive the signal again, that I'm all right.

If we receive the signal again,

we should be able to pinpoint its location.

Then try it, as quickly as...

It can't be!

Seraphim's section is still there?!

Ready a shuttle!

There's still air in here?

If I remember correctly, this is...

"October 21, 2317:

Today I met the commanding officer of Seraphim."

Misaki...

You've come back to me, haven't you?

Ensign Kureha...

I could only be with you all for a little while,

but for me...

Even if our time was short, and not a big deal to anyone else,

those days together were very important to me.

Ensign Kureha, I...

I left you here all alone!

Lt. Commander, I've always been with you.

And not just you, but with Luxandra and Kiri and Suzanna, too.

Listen.

Misaki, try not to get too nervous, or you'll mess up your timing.

It's okay. She may not look it, but Misaki's a lot calmer than you'd think.

Really?

Well, even a 3-year-old could pilot this thing, so...

See?

Thank you, Lt. Commander.

Ensign Kureha?

Misaki...

I thought you weren't supposed to believe she's gone.

But, Prim said...

Yes, I definitely think there are alternate worlds.

Since the very beginning, there has been not a single universe,

but an infinite number of universes existing concurrently,

and we just happen to perceive only one of them.

Would it be possible for a person stuck in an alternate reality to return to her original universe?

An alternate reality?

If the universes had somehow intersected, or connected, rather, then it may indeed be possible.

A connection between universes...

That's right! I remember now!

I'm not completely separated from her yet!

Our two universes are still connected!

Todokanai omoi itsu made shinjiru How long shall I confide in unfulfilled hope?

You've been waiting for me, haven't you? Todokanai omoi itsu made shinjiru How long shall I confide in unfulfilled hope?

You've been waiting for me, haven't you?

Akiramekirezu ni kokoro ni tometa mama Never giving up, keeping it always in my heart

You never forgot me... Akiramekirezu ni kokoro ni tometa mama Never giving up, keeping it always in my heart

Akiramekirezu ni kokoro ni tometa mama Never giving up, keeping it always in my heart

Hanayaka na yume wa osanai koro no mono The most brilliant dreams are those from childhood

Yume nante minai I don't have any dreams

Mitemo munashii dake Even if I did, they would only be futile

Nee, doushite sunao ni ikirenai Tell me, why can't I just live my life?

Konna ni mo kowaku natteru no Have I really become so afraid?

Nanimo kamo wasuresasete Make me forget it all

Yowai karada atatamete Warm my weak body

Hidoku hieta kuchibiru ni I want to feel you, always

Zutto anata wo kanijitai Against these terribly cold lips of mine

Nothing has yet been written about this place.

It is a blank page.

But I'm sure there are many things, both happy and sad, that can be written.

Believe...

Always believe.

I told you before that we'd always be together, didn't I?

Together?

If you wish for it strongly enough, from the bottom of your heart,

then that person will be born.

They'll really exist.

And you should know where the two universes are connected.

Minamikaze ni kaete yuku The warmth of this land

Nukumori ga afureru daichi Transforms the north wind to south

Suiheisen no kanata ni wa And the setting sun

Shizumu yuuhi wo kibou ni kaete Becomes new hope beyond the horizon

Kokoro kara kaete yuku Even the skies above change

Ai to yume to sora mademo As do the dreams and love in my heart

So this is where you've been.

Yes.

This is my own little world.

My real world.

The land of hope stretched far out into the sea.

Now, a dream left behind and forgotten has returned

along with the wind that blows through the morning.
