Drawing close for comfort, we both swore... chikai atta nagusame atta

...never again would we ever fall in love. mou koi wa ni do to shinai yotte

I see that photo of us standing cheek to cheek... hoho wo yoseatte utsuru shashin no

...I swear that I will change the world. watashi wa sekai wo kaeru

What is it? Something wrong?

Uh-uh, it's nothing.

Anyway, it looks like Toshiko ended up...

...going over to Atsushi's place yesterday.

She might as well have just agreed in the first place, huh?

And besides that...

Mickey?

On your way to your piano lesson?

Yes, sir!

I have high hopes for you.

Do your best.

Yes, sir.

Um, are you feeling better now, sir?

Hmm... a bit.

I've caused you trouble, haven't I?

No, sir...

Actually, there is a problem I'd like to discuss with you, Mickey.

Hm? What's wrong?

Hey!

The Landscape Framed by Kozue

Big Brother? Are you staying home today, too?

At... At least have something to eat...

Big Brother...

Don't worry, Big Brother...

I'll take care of the student council.

The student council!

The council members...

Swords strong enough to defeat Utena Tenjou...

...may have crystallized inside of their hearts!

That is what my black rose tells me...

But they have already lost their duels.

The weak-hearted fools...

There are few who are able to freely use their own hearts.

This is especially true of young people.

It would be better to entrust the swords of their hearts to others.

That may result in the creation of strong Duelists.

I understand.

This is all to make you the Rose Bride.

I'll think it over.

But drawing the swords from them...

...will require people who can grasp their hearts.

Kozue!

So, Kozue, I hear you have a new boyfriend!

I didn't really change boyfriends. I just added one.

Ohoh! Cool! I'm jealous!

You guys can do it, too, you know.

Well, in that case...

Introduce me to your brother.

Okay, but...

There's a girl he's been attracted to lately...

Calm down, Miki!

Just say, "Would you like to play the piano..."

"...with me tomorrow, Miss Himemiya?"

Okay...

Hey there, Mickey!

I, er, well, I... I was just passing this way!

I wasn't doing anything weir-

Um, I mean... You know! Oh, what do I mean...?!

Himemiya! Mickey's here!

Um, er, I r-r-really didn't come here for Miss Himemiyal!

You know? It's a coincidence!

I was just passing by, so...

Hello there!

Uh, um...

Yes?

Um...

Choo-Choo is really cute!

It's not Choo-Choo, it's Chu-Chu.

"Choo-Choo" is the sound a mouse makes!

Oh, but I think that Choo-Choo is a nice name, too.

You really like the name Choo-Choo, Miss Himemiya?

Yes, I do.

Well, I like it, too!

We have similar tastes!

I'm sorry.

That was a weird thing for me to say...

Listen!

Yes?

You can do it! Just say it!

Miss Himemiya!

Will you play the piano with me after school tomorrow?!

I'd like to introduce you to my music teacher!

I think he'll be amazed when he hears your playing! So...

Please!

What can I do for you?

Last week, when that teacher fell down the stairs...

I've heard rumors. That it wasn't an accident. That he was pushed.

Even the victim wasn't sure if he fell or was pushed.

But, last night, he got a phone call saying...

...that next time the "accident" would be worse.

I'm impressed, Miss Arisugawa.

You know everything about it.

Not everything. For example...

Why do you hate him so much?

Because that man was always...!

Always what?

I'll never forgive anyone who would sully Miki!

I made a milkshake.

Want some?

I can't drink something that sweet.

Oh, I see. You must be Kozue!

Mickey told me all about you.

Wow...

You really are twins...

If you were a boy, there'd be no difference between you two.

Miki and I are nothing alike.

That girl with the glasses...

What's her name?

It's Anthy Himemiya.

What about her?

If it cannot break its egg's shell, a chick will die without being born.

The chamber of freedom and the cage of freedom.

Without revealing the vastness of the sky...

...both care for the chick.

Smash the world's cage!

For the revolution of the world!

Well? Are there any objections?

None at all.

None at all.

Starting today, I'll be filling in for my brother.

I have the right to do this.

Any objections?

None at all.

None at all.

Except...

Except what?

We haven't been receiving any letters from End of the World lately.

Oh...?

There's a boy who's attracted to Anthy?

And you're worried about it, right?

Well, she is my sister, after all.

But if she's enjoying her life here as a student, then I'm relieved.

Especially if she's making friends...

...with girls like you.

Akio, you really care about your sister a lot, don't you?

Do I?

I don't have any siblings, so I don't really understand it.

What sort of relationship does a big brother have to his sister?

What's that?

It's the moon, right?

You don't normally think about it and it doesn't really serve any purpose.

But still... From time to time, you look up at it...

...and it makes you feel better.

I wonder what's keeping Miss Himemiya.

Maybe I just showed up here a little too early.

You saw?

What is it?

You want to say something, right?

Say something...?

Oh! Miss Himemiyal!

Forgive me.

I had to stop by the greenhouse on my way here.

Oh, don't worry!

I'm just glad that you came at all!

I have an interview scheduled for today.

Nemuro Hall Interview Record Name: Kozue Kaoru Age: 13 Sex: Female I've been told. This way, please.

Nemuro Hall Interview Record Name: Kozue Kaoru Age: 13 Sex: Female

Middle school section, freshman, class B.

Kozue Kaoru.

All right, please begin.

Miki is my twin brother.

He's always been very good to me...

...ever since we were little.

He's put on the appearance of being all right lately.

But when I get hurt or disgraced,

it hurts Miki terribly inside!

I'm all he'll think about!

And that's why I intentionally date boys...

...I know he disapproves of.

But...

Deeper... Go deeper...

But Miki's heart is drifting further and further towards that girl...

Further and further from me!

I understand.

Your only choice is to revolutionize the world.

The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Kozue...

Kozue...?

W-What are you doing?!

That ring you have...!

Isn't it nice?

It matches yours.

And this is the rose which blooms at the End of the World...

That is your new power.

Go on... Don't hesitate to take it!

Hey, check it out!

What's going on? Hey, check it out!

What's going on?

What's up?

It's the schedule for our final exams!

Well, I may dread them, but I guess they have to come eventually.

Oh no, we've got English and Math on the same day!

To the Engaged: I will be waiting in the Dueling Arena at sunset.

Extra! Extra! Extra!

Hot coffee, sandwiches, and cold beer for sale!

Hot coffee, sandwiches, and cold beer for sale!

I'm the only person in this car, you know.

Hot coffee, sandwiches, and cold beer for sale!

Shut up! I don't want anything to drink!

I don't want anything to eat!

So ignore her.

Ooh...!

Excuse me! Coffee and a sandwich, please!

Upon the Black Rose, I swear...

It's that black rose doing it again, huh?

That may be.

Now, Utena Tenjou! Draw your sword!

Do it, or else I'll take the Rose Bride!

That stance...

It's the same one Mickey uses!

Back to those days of dreams and hope.

Mistress Utena! Back to those days of dreams and hope.

Back to those days of dreams and hope.

Tying my hair back.

A lunch-box in my hand!

That wondrous spell! Fi! Fi!

Amusement parks.

Surprise! Shock!

My heart cries out,

"Oh, my dream machine!"

A storm of dreams!

Taking me to my distant, past self...

Ten! Two! One! Zero! Take off!

For her brother...

Kozue!

A failure.

But that was only the first.

There are other members of the student council.

What happened to that Black Rose Seal?

What Rose Seal?

Forget it. It's nothing.

Did I really faint from anemia?

Yeah.

So just take it easy, all right?

Hey, will you make me a milkshake?

Always there for you.

You don't usually think about it and it doesn't serve any real purpose...

But from time to time, you look up at it...

...and it makes you feel better, huh...?

Come to me, Anthy.

Tonight, as always, I will comfort you...

Choo... Choo...

Tell me, Mistress Utena, do you know what a cowbell is?

A cowbell?

I'm not sure, but they don't use them much nowadays, do they?

Oh, Miss Nanami, that cowbell suits you so well!

What the...?! Nanami! What's happened to you?!

It's like you don't really look human anymore, but...
