Who is this vision I see floating before my eyes? Dare ga miteiru VISUAL? Me no mae no

Rushing water runs back over my body Kyuu na mizu ga karada wo sakasa ni kakemeguru

Now, the two of us think about... Ima futari wa

the meaning of our having met Deatta imi omou

Even though we must be swimming... Kitto dareka no kioku no naka

Within someone's memories Oyoideiru dakedemo

The wings of light upon your back Kimi no senaka

Spread out towards the sky Hikari no hane ga sora e hirogaru

No matter the place, no matter the past Donna basho mo donna kako sae mo

A single wish... Tadahitotsu no negai ga

Will surpass it all Norikoete yuku yo

Scanning of Ryoko Kaminagi's meta-body data is now complete.

The lost and damaged areas of her meta-body...

have been almost perfectly restored.

That's impossible!

There's no way to reconstruct data once it's been lost!

It appears to have been integrated, not reconstructed.

I believe Sin gave some of herself to Ryoko Kaminagi.

Well then... Does this present a threat to us?

There are no traces of any security-threat programs buried in her.

So, you mean Kaminagi's back to normal?

No, the areas that form her emotions...

are still trapped in the Altair's meta-body buffer.

They can only be reintegrated with her during entanglement with the Altair.

I see.

So, all she really did was fill in the damaged data sections.

All right, continue work on the repairs to the Oceanus.

Take special care to make sure we're not carrying any foreign objects.

Aye, sir.

Still, I wonder why Sin cured Ryoko.

I would guess that it was an act of good will on her part.

Good will? From a Reconstructant?

Those things aren't human. I can't believe they'd feel something like that.

Kaminagi...

MAIHAMA MINAMI PREFECTURAL HIGH SCHOOL Now then, I'd like to introduce a new transfer student.

Now then, I'd like to introduce a new transfer student.

She'll be studying with you in this class, starting today.

Miss Shizuno Misaki.

How do you do?

I hope you'll all become friends with her.

WITH FALSE WOUNDS, PAIN WITHERS

You like movies, don't you?

That's a screenplay collection, isn't it? You're always reading it!

My name's Mizuki. Mizuki Tachibana.

What sort of movies do you like?

I really like "Last Year at Marienbad" and stuff like that.

Mizuki!

The match is about to start!

All right! I'm coming! I'll be right there!

The tennis club asked me to help out.

See you, Kaminagi!

Come on! Come on!

Kaminagi.

Let's go.

Um...

Well, anyway...

Isn't it great, Kaminagi? You've recovered!

I have to thank Sin for that, even if she is the enemy.

I know! Kaminagi, you wanna go someplace and have fun?

I know the Maihama server's kinda small,

but there must be some places we haven't visited yet!

Let's celebrate together!

Don't force yourself.

I can't feel anything the way I am now.

Kaminagi...

I have my memories and can act as I want.

I can live my life by behaving logically, but...

But I don't feel anything as I am now.

Please don't act like I can.

Kaminagi...

I'm not forcing myself to do anything!

I want to go out and have fun with you!

Come out with me, Kaminagi!

Where do you want to go? What do you want to eat?

It doesn't matter.

Come on, anything. Don't you want to do something?

Kaminagi!

Big news!

What's up?

There's a big sale in the market in town!

Maybe they'll let me exchange this!

They have nothing left!

I'm going to bed.

Sure. Good night. And brush your teeth!

Is it over?

Are you enjoying the movies?

I don't know.

But I think I enjoy them.

I see.

You don't have to force yourself.

I'm not forcing myself!

I decided to watch movies with you today, Kaminagi!

He's coming after me!

I've gotta get out of here, now!

What was she?

NO!!!

She risked such danger infiltrating the Oceanus,

and then just wandered around asking weird questions.

And why do you fight? Why, when you have no future?

She wanted to know. Really, she did.

The reason why we fight.

You talked to her?!

I told her there was something irreplaceable I didn't want to lose.

That I wanted to protect it. When I said that, she said she finally understood.

Kyo?

How's the swim club? Is the swim club all right?

Shizuno-sempai transferred in today.

Yeah.

It wasn't a dream.

I was led by Shizuno Misaki, rode in that shining robot...

And then... That passionate kiss from her...

Um, boy, this movie's really lame! Let's watch another one!

Oh! This one's good, don't you think?

C'mon, let's put this one in! It looks great!

Oh, this one's about Robin Hood, huh?

I know this one! He shoots an apple, right?

Okay, let's get this started! Hey, Kaminagi! Want some chips?

Kyo, just now...

Um, that was nothing. Nothing at all...

Never mind! Just forget it!

Kyo, you're wrong.

William Tell shot the apple.

Commander? Commander!

I'm sorry. It looked like you were having a nightmare.

Here.

I guess even commanders have bad dreams now and then.

It's a layered structure, isn't it?

We're ghosts who have the ghosts of dreams.

Perhaps... The people in our dreams have dreams of their own.

Then maybe we're dreams that someone else is having.

That may be true.

Perhaps you can say the only meaning we have...

is as the dreams of the quantum servers.

Minato, wait outside, would you?

Yes, sir.

Well?

We can't stop the march of time. Things are moving even faster than we thought.

I see.

I wanted our position to be more secure, but...

Do we have a chance of winning?

That depends on you and Kyo. What about him?

He has the combat skills. The rest is a question of psychology.

I don't care about his private life, so long as he fights.

Oceanus, this is Altair.

No enemies spotted in Romeo sector. Patrol duty, complete.

Request clearance for return transmission.

Oceanus, acknowledged. You are clear for return transmission.

Transmission preparations, complete.

Q.L., two minutes to return limit.

It's over?

Short.

Yeah, it was.

Because you're a bird.

As long as you have strength in your wings, you should fly free.

But once in a while, if you can, come back to the tree.

Because I'll always be here waiting for you.

Kaminagi...

Silly!

Did you already forget that line from the movie we watched?

Wha?! Of course I don't remember!

We watched, like, a million of them in one sitting!

Hey, Kyo.

What?

Why'd you stop before?

Stop what?

Your kiss.

Wha?! Don't be crazy! I wasn't trying to!

I wouldn't have minded.

You're nuts! That's totally not what it was!

Wow, you're not usually such a gentleman.

Shut up!

Thank you, Kyo. For being with me.

Kaminagi...

One minute to return level!

Initiate transmission.

Entangle, time out.

Kyo?

See you later.

Go! Go! Maihama!

Go! Go!

LIBRARY

Agh! Ryoko! Help me!

Um...

Is she there?!

No!

Oh... Where'd Mizuki go?!

Let's check down there!

Right!

Whew! Sorry about that.

I like hanging out with them for practice,

but they want me for out-of-school matches, too!

Like I've got time for that with the drama club!

Oh! You've started writing a screenplay?

Mm.

So, which is the real one?

Rainbow Memories Where the Sky Meets the Earth

Rainbow Memories Where the Sky Meets the Earth The title.

The title.

I still haven't decided. I may end up with a totally different title.

There she is!

Mizuki!

Agh! Yikes! Come on, guys! Gimme a break!

Come on! Just this once! Come on, I just can't do it, okay?

Come on! Just this once!

KYO IS A JERK!

A manufactured world, huh?

Sogoru!

Here you are! I've been looking for you!

Why haven't you been in school?

Mr. Kurashige said he hasn't heard anything from you and was worried.

You haven't been doing any club activities, either. Are you sick?

Are you, Sogoru?

Lay off!

Just lay off.

Sogoru...

Tomigai!

Yes?

Yaki soba rolls!

Coming up!

What? You're still alive?

What's the idea, ditching school?

Stopped trying to get more members for the swim club?

Didn't take you long to give up, huh?

Well, I figured you weren't up to it, anyway.

It's only right for the club to fail with a coward like you running it.

Hey! What's the idea, ignoring us?!

Nothing.

You dissin' me?! Why, you!

Don't run from me! What kind of chickenshit are you?!

Today... Okita from the ping-pong club got a sprain doing the broad jump in phys-ed.

The tropical fish Kurage was keeping all died,

and he was depressed about it all day.

And tomorrow, Omizu is going to bring in...

some neon tetras she's keeping at her home and let him have some.

It's an illusion... Our lives! It's all fake!

It's what?!

Quit throwing this bullshit at us!

All of us are just!

Just what?! You got something to say, then say it!

Don't get so pretentious if you aren't serious!

I'm always serious!

Are you giving up on the swim club?!

You're a god damned loser!

You son of a bitch!

Kyo, you shouldn't fight with them. They're your friends.

Who cares?

In five months, they'll just forget everything again.

Even so, you shouldn't.

Why not?

Because it's better to be happy than to keep doing the same stuff over and over.

Right?

Sure.

Oh! Look at that!

Kyo, take us down.

Wow! It's so pretty!

Kyo, let's go out!

Sit-rep.

The ship is currently moving south off of the western Australian coast.

The Altair is following us while on patrol.

There's no indication of Gardsorm forces approaching us.

Once the Altair is back, set course for Japan.

Japan?

The Oceanus is headed for the Maihama server.

Commander Shima!

Yes?

I'd like to ask why we're returning to the Maihama server.

You have some doubts?

Whenever the ship gets near it,

we increase the chances of the enemy finding the server.

Shouldn't we avoid approaching it unless absolutely necessary?

Moreover, this ship was recently infiltrated by the enemy.

Don't you think we should avoid any careless risks?

It's for maintenance.

More accurately, to inspect the quantum transmission system.

Fosetta.

Yes.

The error rate has been slightly increasing lately on access from the Maihama server.

While it's still within correction tolerances,

I now believe it would be best to adjust it as soon as possible.

There you have it. Do you agree with my decision?

Something wrong?

No. It's nothing.

So pretty! Kyo, have you heard this one?

Long ago, when two lovers were split up,

the woman was so sad that her body was transformed and became the lily.

Yeah. That's a legend from the Caucasus region, right?

Wow. I wouldn't expect you to know that.

Especially when you don't even know about Robin Hood!

There's more to that legend.

In order to ensure that the girl who'd become the lily would always have water,

God transformed the man into a rain cloud.

In order to be together, they both gave up being human.

Kaminagi... Are we no longer human?

Between us Cerebrants, looking at this real scenery...

and the guys living in the artificial world of the Maihama server,

which of us are real?

Kyo...

I... don't hurt anymore.

When Kawaguchi punched me, I really wanted to hit back,

but somewhere inside me, I just lost the urge.

I got angry because, no matter how much he hit me, I don't think it really hurt me.

I thought I was able to take it because everything is fake, but...

No. I'm not "taking it."

I can't feel anything anymore!

Even if I manage to make up with them in five months,

when the reset comes, I'll have to start all over again!

Then we'll make up again, then we'll go back again...

It's just impossible!

But even though it's impossible, they're serious about it!

Even in that fake world, they live their lives with meaning!

I'm starting to wonder if they're more real than me!

You're wrong, Kyo.

We're all fake.

"Real" is someone who can touch these flowers.

Real is...

The people who can live in this real world!

To live... in the real world, huh?

Like that girl Sin that I met before.

These... Dammit! Dammit!

Why can't I touch them?! Dammit!

Why can't I touch them?! Dammit! Kyo...

Dammit...

Then what are we?

What does that make us?!

Those things!

Altair has made contact with the enemy! Now engaging!

Garuda! Hraesvelg! Scramble!

Stay out of this!

Everyone, stay out of this!

Zegapain Altair, starting up.

These guys are mine!

It's a lie! It's all a lie!

I don't believe it! I refuse to accept it!

We're all fakes? We're all just illusions?!

Because our bodies were destroyed?!

Because we can't touch a flower?!

That's impossible! It's totally impossible!

I refuse to believe...

that you things are more real than me!

The flowers... They're all dead.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

We can't even die like them, can we?

It's not true... It just can't be true!

Maybe it's impossible for now, but some day, we'll be real again.

The day will come when we'll be human again!

Kyo.

It'll come! I swear it will!

When we can stand on the ground... and touch these flowers!

Awaken Me ga samete

Someone has transmitted the location of the Maihama server to the Gardsorm.

The Anti-Zega Coatlicue is now coming to destroy it!

Why isn't Shima fighting it?

I have a feeling I know who gave them the information.

And why do you look like your duties have gotten the better of you?

You were the one who decided how this meal would taste, Shizuno.

Next time, on Zegapain: "Last Supper."

My pain, never to be forgotten.

LAST SUPPER My pain, never to be forgotten.
