Did you hear?

About what?

The new student.

New student?

The wind is sweet.

The air has a scent.

So this is Earth.

Hi.

Sunny with scattered cherry blossoms.

It was the day I first met Ryoichi Kyogoku.

PSYCHIC SCHOOL WARS

Original Novel by Taku Mayumura

The day I met Kyogoku, two things happened.

It was sunny as usual.

A windy morning as usual.

You're here every morning.

It's nice you walk him every day.

Yeah... It's my job.

Name?

Seki... Kenji Seki.

Not you. The dog.

I know your name. Same class this year.

His name is Shiro for "white."

Good morning, Shiro.

I had a conversation with class rep Kahori Harukawa.

Definitely, this year's number one incident!

Shiro, good job!

Today is the luckiest...

You pervert!

What?

You were staring at Kahori.

That obscene look in your eyes...

I was not staring at her.

Yes, you were.

Officer, a pervert!

- Stop it! - Help!

Officer!

Natsuki, stop it!

Ouch...

Pervert.

But you were...

But look.

Since when?

Since the beginning.

All the time?

All the time.

Kaho must have seen it too. How could she not?

My life is over.

The other incident was this fatal mishap and having it witnessed

by her, Natsuki Suzuura.

If she tells everyone at school...

Your fly... Your nickname as of today is Mr. Open Fly.

Definitely, today is the worst day of my life.

Him.

Please!

Hey, you!

But the truly major incident

was already in progress when I met Kyogoku.

Even though I didn't realize until much later.

Kaho!

You went surfing this morning.

You saw me?

Yeah. It's my jogging course.

Starting this year, mobile phones will not be permitted on campus.

Please inform your students about this new rule.

Take a seat. I'll be with you soon.

Sure.

I saw Kenji this morning too.

He was walking Shiro.

He used to go at night.

But for some reason, he wakes up early now.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Did he sexually harass you or something?

I didn't say anything.

Well... What happened? What? What? Tell me.

About what?!

Hot!

I can't believe this. No mobile phones?

Parents and teachers only think of themselves.

This is insane.

But it's no surprise after what happened...

I wonder if Yamagiwa will show up.

She's in your club, right? There were lots of rumors.

It sucks to flunk second year.

I'd refuse to come to school.

You use a mobile too.

Yeah but...

The student council approved.

Unbelievable.

People who don't have one don't understand the inconvenience.

Stop it.

To have one or not, people should be free to choose.

People are free to choose to have one or not

only if you can pay attention in class.

Without your mobile phones

maybe you feel more anxious than inconvenienced.

Saori?

No! That's not it.

Then go home after school and get it.

That'd be pointless.

Do you need a mobile phone during class?

Not really.

During recess?

Yes.

Why? For an emergency?

No. For texts and Twitter.

Must you do them during recess?

No... So that's why I don't use it at school.

If you don't use it at school, it means you don't need it at school.

That's mean.

People can't concentrate in class because of their mobiles.

So maybe you're better off not bringing them.

Mistah Sai, you're siding with the school after all.

"Mister Saito."

When I was your age, we didn't have mobiles.

But I won't get into that.

Real communication

is more than a mobile or an Internet connection.

They're not bad things.

But in your relationships with other people

there are many more important lessons to be learned.

That's the consensus, hence this rule.

All right. It's finally time to introduce your new classmate.

Whoa!

In time?

Wrong!

Seki, the bell rang already. You're late.

Oops.

It's because you wake up early when you're not a morning person.

Trying to show off, right?

Mind your own business.

Your fly's open again.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

You can't boss me around, Mr. Open Fly.

Miss Suzuura, will you please not tell anyone?

I can't hear you.

Please don't tell anyone.

Are you begging me?

Yes.

It looks like a fun class.

This is your new classmate for real.

Right?

Yes.

Introduce yourself.

I'm from the city of Hanamaki.

I don't have my new uniform yet.

I'm Ryoichi Kyogoku. Nice to meet you.

Hey...

What?

It's him.

You know him?

I met him this morning.

This morning?

Ryoichi, what's your mobile phone number?

Number?

For SMS, you know?

I don't own a mobile.

Why not?

I don't need one.

Imitating Mistah Sai?

Strict parents?

No. I really don't need one. Is that not a good reason?

You're kidding.

You don't even text?

I don't need to.

Saori, he really doesn't have a mobile phone.

He's not holding back from you.

Bam!

What's up?

Um... You know...

Water flea?

Yeah. Aren't they incredible?

Hey, wait!

A play?

Never been in one, right?

Mr. Saito is the advisor this year.

His classes were great last year.

Really?

Which club are you going to join?

You're tall. Interested in basketball?

He looks like he has a secret.

So what? I'm sure he does.

Why do you say that?

Because he's good-looking.

So he's your type?

All the girls were talking about him.

Like in the locker room.

You had a dirty thought.

Ouch!

Mr. Open Fly...

Will you drop it?

Why would a good-looking guy have a secret?

That's a girls' secret.

Huh?

Open... Mr. Open Fly...

What's that song?

Everyone is upset.

About the mobile phones?

Yeah.

My class too. They think the school's gone too far.

They're blaming the council for not organizing an all-school meeting.

They call us traitors.

Can I ask each one of you for your opinion?

In favor or against it?

Amano?

I suppose I'm in favor of it.

Kondo?

Favor.

Kahori?

Well, they're not an absolute necessity.

Jinno?

Fine then. Favor.

The girl in that mobile incident last year was in my class.

Yuriko Yamagiwa is in my class this year.

Mobile phones are convenient.

But if they hurt someone, they shouldn't be allowed at school.

It's only natural.

You're probably right.

But people want to be involved in the decision making.

It's strange how people are for it as individuals.

But as a group, there's an air of objection.

Air, huh...

Are our true feelings inside our hearts?

Or are they in the air?

Obviously, our feelings are inside ourselves.

That's not always the case.

Yes, it is. What do you mean?

I think some feelings occur because of someone other than yourself.

Are those feelings inside you too?

Or are they in the air between people and people?

Kahori?

The piano was open.

Am I not allowed?

Don't worry. It's okay.

Anyone can play them if they're open.

Okay.

Thanks.

Are you going to practice too?

Yes.

You're very diligent.

Not really. I don't have a piano at home.

I see.

"Moonlight"...

By Debussy, right?

Yeah.

I like...

The moon.

Is it weird?

Not at all. It's not weird at all.

Okay.

Good.

He likes it.

The moon.

Sorry to bother you while you're relaxing.

You're wasting energy just by being in this era.

You are too.

I'll report your comment to Doctor Kyogoku.

I'm sure you haven't forgotten your mission.

Moon...

The moon of this era is yellow.

It looks odd.

But beautiful.

"In tale or history"

"true love never comes to a happy end easily."

"If people are in love with each other,"

"war, death, or sickness"

"would get in their way."

"Then the love melts away immediately."

"Making it momentary as a sound, swift as a shadow"

"short as any dream."

It's still Lysander's line, right?

Is there any meaning in doing plays?

Meaning?

Yeah.

I don't think there's any meaning.

A necessity?

No, not a necessity either.

Then why?

So why...

Kyogoku, you have a philosophical mind.

Do you know why?

You're asking me?

The man who wrote "A Midsummer Night's Dream" said

"acting is holding a mirror up to nature and showing the form of truth."

Mirrors were invented because people want to see their faces.

I think acting is the same.

That's confusing.

When you act, in the limited time, momentary you becomes real.

Momentary?

Yes. Why don't you look for your answer in those moments?

The moments called "now."

It sounds like you're dodging the question.

I was trying to be cool. I just want you to enjoy yourselves.

That's what it means to be alive.

Acting is also something living people do.

Is Mr. Saito always like that?

Yeah. Kenji and I were in his class last year too.

Oh yeah.

Mistah Sai is a cool dude but he hates that name.

Don't say it to his face.

It bothers him, huh?

But it doesn't stop anybody.

What made you interested in acting?

Yeah. What?

I was wondering about the significance of saying words

that aren't your real thoughts.

Wow... Complex.

What's the purpose of the process?

Process?

I suppose you could call it that.

But we're talking now even though we don't know each other's thoughts.

In that sense, it's the same, isn't it?

Yeah, that's true.

You're totally lost, aren't you?

You can tell?

Sometimes words aren't necessary.

Yeah.

I don't get it. So what?!

Really? I had a feeling you understood it all.

Was I wrong?

What kind of psychic power is that?

Wow! It is an amazing view.

Isn't it?! Over here.

A kite?

I'm not joking. It's true.

It stole my lunch when I was a kid.

The bad kite.

"Beware of kites: they steal food"

This place is nice.

You think so?

I'm happy to hear that.

Beware of kites. They steal food.

Chomp.

She'll think you're a pervert if you keep staring.

Was I staring?

Yes. Totally. Gawking.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You like Kahori that much, huh?

Are you a psychic?

Maybe. I can read your mind.

It was so obvious. Cheer up.

I can't.

Try.

But...

You wouldn't understand my feelings.

Why do you say that?

Huh?

How do you know?!

Natsuki?

Natsuki!

This is the symbol you drew, is it not?

Y I n ¢ li v i es! ca t be e e t!

I read your mind.

Wow!

Telepathy, law of physics.

People can't read people's minds.

That's true.

Being psychic would be convenient but I'm not.

It's like owning a mobile phone.

At my age, it makes no difference if I have one or not.

It's about your age?

I have one only because others find it inconvenient if I don't.

Are you a psychic?

I'm talking about mobile phones.

Why do you want to be a psychic?

Have you ever wanted to know someone's feelings?

Their real feelings.

You're so perceptive.

Thanks for cheering me up.

Kenji, go help your dad in the kitchen!

Okay!

Hey, that's enough!

You okay?

Sorry! Sorry!

What do you want?

You won't answer your mobile.

Because...

I wanted to apologize for earlier.

I'm sorry for saying you wouldn't understand my feelings.

I'll tell you how I feel.

You see... I...

I've had...

A crush on Kahori for a while now.

So I wanted to talk to you about her.

You're a jerk!

Why?

You can't do it.

Why?

Why did you help me?

Because you didn't intend to jump in the first place.

What do you mean? Who are you?!

You're Yuriko Yamagiwa, 2nd year in middle school, again.

You think nobody understands your feelings

so you were going to jump but in truth, you don't want to die.

Shut up! You don't even know me!

Know you? I don't need to.

I understand. I can hear it.

The voice in your heart.

You want to live more than anybody.

It's tough not being understood.

Stop it!

Ryoichi...

I know.

She's perfect.

You want to read people's minds, don't you?

Wait... What...

You have the power.

Without it, your voice wouldn't be reaching me.

I don't get it! Stop!

Come here.

Come here and nobody can lie to you anymore.

Hello? Kaho?

Oh, sorry.

I'll wait and eat with you.

I'll see you when you finish work.

Bye.

Natsu... Hey, Natsu!

What is it? I'm sleepy.

I get sleepy when I'm angry. You have a problem with that?

They're really pretty. Can you see?

Natsu, look!

Will you stop bothering me? What is it?

Natsu, aren't they so cool?!

I like you. I like you so much, Kenji.

Aren't they cool?!

We can see better over there.

So tell me...

What are you gonna be when you grow up?

I'm gonna run the inn because everyone loves it.

Good.

So you'll always be my next-door neighbor.

You won't go to Tokyo or something?

I like you so much...

What?

I really, really like you.

Huh?

I like you, Kenji.

So much!

What?

I like you. I like you so much.

So much!

I'm saying...!

I like you so much, Kenji.

I like you so, so much!

I had a dream.

The dream I hadn't had in a while.

Natsuki!

Are you awake?

I realize now

that day, our hands were connected but our hearts weren't.

We've lived next door to each other all our lives.

Same pre-school, same grade school, same middle school...

Same homeroom.

Our student IDs and lockers are next to each other.

Forever the girl next door.

Yes that's me.

Always was, still am, and will be from now on.

Forever and ever.

Natsuki!

I wish...

I could stop liking him.

Go on in.

Excuse me... Passing through.

Good morning, Yuriko.

Good morning, Natsuki.

You know my name?

From the seating chart.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yuriko looked so calm and confident.

Yeah. I wonder why she decided to start coming to school now.

I'm glad she did though.

You were worried about her?

Sort of... Because I've never been absent from school.

You still have a perfect attendance?

Yep.

Miss Suzuura, any concerns about your record?

Sickness, no.

How about a love sickness?

No way.

You never know. You might fall in love.

Impossible. But if I did fall in love, I'd come to school to see him.

Yeah, that's true.

I know... The new guy is hot, isn't he?

You're going to tell me everything today.

You're here already, Kenji.

What are you doing here?

You're not making any sense. How should I respond to that?

Oh... I just thought...

Sorry. My mistake.

Sorry about that.

Shots of the sky?

No. Clouds.

Clouds?

Clouds that look like something.

What does this look like?

This? A hamburger.

Oh... How about this?

A cheeseburger.

That's funny!

Look closely. This part looks like melted cheese...

Hungry, huh?

So love at first sight really happens.

I'm sorry. I feel like I unloaded everything on you.

You have to vent your feelings sometimes.

You're too much of a good girl.

I'm not a good girl at all.

Oh, come on... The new guy is so lucky.

He plays the piano really well too.

It's so strange that I feel this way.

No, it's not.

Sometimes you can't explain why you like someone so much.

You think so?

Yes. I really think so.

So when are you going to tell him how you feel?

I'm not going to.

Why not? Before we know it, we'll be graduating middle school.

That's fine with me.

Wow! Was the view from here always this pretty?

I think this is the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.

So...

Yeah?

Aren't you attracted to anybody?

No. Nobody.

I don't believe you. How about Kenji?

Oh, please. Just because we're next-door neighbors...

He's an insensitive jerk.

Oh... So he's really not the one?

Natsuki?

He and I are next-door neighbors.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Ask him. I'm sure he'll say the same thing.

You're kind of weird, Kyogoku.

Why?

You've never eaten a hamburger.

That makes me weird?

Yes. Are your parents strict?

No. Nothing like that.

Incredible.

There's something I want to ask you.

What is it?

When we first met, did you say, "So this is Earth."?

Did you say that to anyone?

No. Why?

They'll think I'm weird.

They already do.

You were wearing headphones.

Yeah, I was.

If you heard me, you're a psychic.

True.

I said it.

I said it in my mind.

I think you're a psychic.

Are you serious?

Of course.

Then are you an alien?

I'm more like a guy from the future.

So a psychic and a guy from the future

are eating hamburgers in the sunset.

That's right.

That's exactly right.

I'll bring from the future the food you're craving.

Three, two, one, open.

From the future...

Time warp, law of physics.

Ryoichi, you ate food from this era.

Don't get involved more than you have to.

The kid, Kenji, you know he's...

An obstacle in our plan.

Dad chose this era because he's here.

To get revenge.

I'm not authorized to speak on his behalf.

Will there be a battle?

He's a dangerous wild card. That's all I can say.

Let's continue the program.

We have several power-user candidates.

People of this era should handle their own affairs.

You're running a lot lately.

I want to go to high school in Tokyo and join the track team.

Wow! A sports nomination.

I just started thinking about it.

Team practice after school?

Yeah.

And you? The council?

A meeting about the mobile phones.

Something about punishing students who break the rule.

Then piano practice, right? Maybe I'll see you.

Really? I'll wait for you.

They're together a lot these days.

You think?

Oops... Not that it means anything.

It doesn't bother me.

Come on...

No talking about this at school.

What part of speech is this?

Japanese!

Um...

Japanese.

A prefix.

Yes, a prefix. What comes after this?

Japanese.

Toyama!

You still mad?

I'm sorry about the acorns.

Come on. I'm sorry.

Did it hurt that much?

Yes.

My heart ached.

Huh? Heart?

As in chest...

No... No...

You're awful!

Jerk!

Natsuki!

Ouch!!!

Oh... Kaho's not here yet.

Did you see Soga?

President Soga? I didn't see her.

She's absent today.

But I saw her this morning.

Really?

She wasn't at the meeting. Maybe she left early.

What's going on?

A ritual to become a human who can live in the future.

Haruka Soga passed the test.

What?

But you don't. I'm sorry.

I can't hear the voice in your heart.

You should keep your mouth shut.

Are you trying to increase my work load?

What?! It talked!

I wish you were like us.

Too bad because you're a really nice person.

Ouch!

This hurts!

Help! Kenji, help!

Stop it.

That hurt!

Ryoichi?

Are you okay?

Don't tell anyone about today, okay?

Who are you? What are you?

Human beings. No?

You look like human beings but...

People are coming. We better go.

Not too bad that the student council president has the power.

We can accelerate the plan.

Kahori...

I'm glad you're here.

I borrowed this without asking. Thanks.

Are you going to practice "Moonlight" too?

Yes... I want to learn how to play it.

I want to hear you play it one day.

What's taking Natsuki so long?

I don't remember my father.

He was a fisherman.

One stormy night

he drowned trying to save his friend who fell off a boat.

My mother is afraid of the sea.

She worries about me being here.

Coming to the sea is my only act of rebellion.

Because I think Dad wasn't afraid of the sea.

This is the only place where I can feel my father.

Where I can talk to him.

Shiro!

Sorry, Kahori!

Good boy. How old is he?

Pretty old. In his teens.

He's that old?

We've had him since I was a small kid.

He looks younger.

Yeah? I wonder why.

By the way...

Did you see Natsuki today?

No. She hasn't come to school for days.

Have you talked to her?

No. She won't answer her phone.

She doesn't take my calls either.

I'm worried.

Her perfect attendance record stopped.

You knew about it?

She told me.

Now it's just me.

You too?

I'm always late though.

Um...!

Yes?

Are you interested in anyone right now?

Students are forbidden to bring mobiles to school.

But many are breaking the rule and secretly bringing them.

They should be punished strictly.

We should make a proposal...

Suspended? That strict?

For disobeying the school rule.

I know that! But do we even have the authority to decide?!

We do have the authority.

Supplement 2 of Article 10.

"The student council may propose rules when deemed necessary."

The rules become effective upon the student assembly's approval.

Yeah but...

It also says "in case of an emergency, they become effective immediately."

The advisor has to approve.

Mr. Yamada is on sick leave starting today.

Then advisor approval won't be necessary.

Wait! He was fine yesterday...

Yeah. What happened?

Let's take a vote.

We haven't discussed...

Those in favor?

See? This is crazy...

Why?

We have the majority.

Yukari...

This rule has been approved by the council.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Everybody seems like a different person.

I said I don't know!

Sorry.

Haven't you felt it?

Strange things are happening around me.

People's personalities are suddenly changing.

One student after another.

On the other hand, many have stopped coming to school.

23 in total.

So many?

I'm worried too.

None of them are responding to my calls.

People are anxious and that's why they bring their mobiles.

They feel lonely at school.

But the ones who have changed act like nothing's wrong. To me...

You might think I've gone crazy too.

What? Tell me.

It's like they're communicating without words.

Like telepathy. Does it seem like that to you?

Do you want to visit Mr. Yamada after school?

Yeah. I'm worried about him too.

Let me go home first.

Let's get in touch on our mobiles.

Um... I don't have a mobile phone.

Natsuki's not even answering her phone.

Doesn't she want her pillow?

Waiting for someone?

Yes.

Do you mind if I waited with you?

No, I don't mind.

Really? Good.

I wanted mobile phones to disappear from the world.

They're nothing but trouble. They can harm you and others.

Such a flawed tool.

Flawed?

You're not alone... You're always connected to others...

A silly device that people use to lie to themselves and avoid reality.

Why use mobile phones? In this world, there's a perfect way.

I wanted to warn you.

Warn me?

What you're trying to do won't be good for anybody.

Jinno, vice president of the student council...

Too bad he missed his date.

What happened?

He moved.

People are better off without mobile phones.

That way, they wish for the power we have.

Now aren't you curious about people's true thoughts?

It's lonely when you don't know people's real feelings.

When people don't understand yours.

But... What can you do about it?

Be born again.

In the future, people can't live without that power.

That's what he said so it must be true.

He? Are you talking about...

Do you want to try?

Why don't you?

Try? Try what?

It's like soap bubbles.

Soap bubbles?

Everybody has her own world inside her.

Look at the worlds inside the soap bubbles.

But the worlds aren't connected.

It's lonely.

So we'll connect them.

See? Not lonely anymore.

They'll disappear.

Normally yes.

That's why you have to try and see if you have the power.

Kahori!

What happened?!

Are you okay?!

Are you okay?

Let's get out of here.

Hold on. I'm fine. I can stand up.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Wait!

Are you sure he was born with the power?

He didn't respond to my voice.

But he came to help her.

And that power...

Maybe Kahori has the power.

No, not her.

The boy's power has been blocked.

And I have an idea who did it and why.

Sorry. I was still holding your hand.

Hi there.

Grandpa!

My room is upstairs.

Let's talk there, if you don't mind.

I'll get something to drink.

Iced tea... Iced tea...

No... This isn't...

I'm sorry to intrude.

Hey, please!

I was so surprised.

Me too.

Natsuki, stop sneaking into my room from the window.

Then stop shooting acorns.

You fell once and broke your leg.

That was you.

It was?

When we were talking on the paper-cup phones...

Being here makes what happened earlier seem like a dream.

Did it really happen?

Do you feel okay?

Thanks. I'm not afraid anymore.

Afraid? Did the new guy threaten you too?

Did Kyogoku do something to you?

Forget it.

Is that why you stopped coming to school?

I don't know anything.

I thought so.

He has something to do with what's happening at school.

Natsuki, I want to know what he's trying to do at our school.

Tell me, Natsuki.

What happened?

I see.

That means...

It was...

I haven't said anything yet.

You were about to say something stupid. I read your mind.

According to your story, you're not a psychic.

I'm not. So it's a mystery, isn't it?

I'm going to go home.

Isn't it dangerous? You can...

Sleep over?! Are you serious?!

Thanks but I'm fine. I'm glad you're okay, Natsuki.

I'll take you home.

Me too.

You're in your pajamas.

Give me five minutes.

Stop using the window! And take your pillow!

I feel better now. I should vent my feelings sometimes too.

You're always venting.

No. I never do.

Then you should.

I won't be responsible for what happens when I vent.

Natsuki...

Come to school.

I don't know how Kyogoku and the others want to change the world.

But I want our lives to be normal.

We've always been together, haven't we?

That's not your line.

It's not your line!

Natsuki...

I can worry if I want.

Jerk.

How did Kaho turn you down?

You're asking me now?

Tell me and I'll go to school.

Okay, fine, whatever.

Are you okay?

Mr. Open Fly.

But you promised, okay?

Bring your mobile if you're worried.

I'll bring mine too.

What the...?

There. I vented.

I know how it feels.

When you like someone who likes someone else

it's hard to show your feelings.

and you want to know how that person feels

and you like that person so much that it hurts.

Because...

Because I feel that way too.

So don't, okay?

Don't say I don't understand how you feel!

Even teachers can't bring mobiles?

No. It's the rule.

Are teachers going to get suspended too?

That's the rule.

Mr. Saito, please come here.

Yes, Vice Principal?

May I speak to you in private?

Good morning, Natsuki.

When someone breaks the rule...

I'm disappointed you ignored my warning.

I waited because he likes you and Kenji

but I find it hard to understand.

What did you do to Jinno and Kondo?

They're staying home. That's why we're helping the council.

You're not as perceptive as I thought you were.

Many people without the power are cooperative.

Like the vice principal. He's very sympathetic with what we're doing.

So we're making proposals to make this a better school.

Whoa... People can be so cruel.

Ouch...

Natsuki...

People are watching.

Natsuki...

Get off.

We have to climb the stairs.

Um... Listen...

I can feel your breasts.

Pervert.

Whatever.

You like Kaho.

Whatever.

You don't care who, right?

Give me a break.

And you? You don't care either?

Sorry.

Wear these. Your feet are bleeding.

What a tough first day back.

And tomorrow?

How about you?

Me?

I'm going.

Then I'll go.

You shouldn't get too involved.

Didn't one of my friends warn you?

Why worry about me?

People, when in a group, will start a riot for small reasons.

There's something I want to ask you.

You know everything.

No, I don't. I don't know what goes on in your mind.

Because I don't have the power?

That's right.

In the future, humankind doesn't live on Earth anymore.

What?

People's behavior exceeded the limit of Earth's endurance.

Humans can't live on it anymore.

So we live on the moon.

See? That's my homeland.

It feels so bizarre.

Looking up at the moon from Earth.

It happened one day without warning.

Only a spaceship that was away from Earth survived.

We discovered Earth needed 1,000 years to become livable again.

We didn't have the technology nor the resources

to survive so many years.

Humans will never return to Earth.

Time passed.

Some children started displaying a strange ability.

A psychic power?

That's what you call it.

Most areas of the human brain are dormant most of the time.

An unfamiliar power could be awakened in a crisis.

That's what some believe.

Nobody knows for sure.

But in our era, this is none other than hope.

Hope?

Yeah. People probably can't stand not doing anything.

We need hope to stay alive.

The power is awakened around the age of 14.

Around the time when you first start feeling self-conscious

or confused and anguished about relationships.

The two periods might be related.

Some say this power could prevent conflict.

My mission is to awaken as many power users as possible in this era.

That way, we may be able to prevent that disaster.

If not, I have to bring back power users to my era.

In my era, human population is very small.

Even a smaller population of power users.

We fight those who stand in our way.

Even if it's you or Kenji...

Or anyone else.

So if this is "A Midsummer Night's Dream " I'm Puck.

I'm here to put a magic spell on humans.

Why are you telling me?

I...

I don't know what to do.

Sometimes fairies fall in love with humans.

You know a story like that?

Or maybe I put a spell on myself.

Puck is a prankster after all.

I'll count to three.

And when I clap my hands

you ¢ Il forget everything and wake up feeling refreshed.

Three, two, one.

Now!

If this is a magic spell...

I don't want it to end.

My mother was born in this era.

I have no recollection of her.

They say she died right after I was born.

No photographs of her.

Record of the past are worthless.

What's important is the future. That's what my father believes.

Still a few of my mother's belongings were left behind.

Secretly looking at them

was my private, childhood pastime.

Kaho, come!

Natsuki's in trouble!

You can't just open my locker.

Natsuki Suzuura, you are suspended for 10 days.

The next time, 30 days. The third time, 90 days.

Give it back.

Let go of it.

Stop it.

Give it back!

I can walk by myself!

Go! Faster!

Let me get changed!

Come on!

Go!

You can do it!

Let go of me!

Are you sure?

My father wants to release Kenji's power, doesn't he?

Is he still trying?

Go on.

To your master.

The one who decides how to use the power is not me nor you.

Tell that to your father.

Tell him to leave the past alone.

Why are mobile phones forbidden?

I'm coming to school tomorrow.

I promised.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Forgive me for not being able to use telepathy like you.

Why don't you forbid talking and listening too?

What's your point?

You just want to pretend to know the answer.

Reading people's minds?

That's like peeping.

Wanting to tell, wanting to know... That's what counts.

Peeping? How dare you!

If you don't want to tell your feelings, they'll never get through.

People who don't want to understand won't understand.

It's not about mobile phones or telepathy.

It's necessary in the future.

I don't care about the future! We're living in the present!

Shut up if you're not going to fight.

It's people like you...

You're the one who's not fighting.

What? We had swimming.

A mobile? I brought mine too.

Are you gonna confiscate it too?

What was my mother like?

Don't you use telepathy?

I want to hear it said in your words.

All right. She was a beautiful woman.

You two look alike.

So I've been told.

She had her own beliefs.

To tell you the truth, I had a crush on her.

I hoped she'd be happy in the future.

Do you think she was happy?

I was hoping you'd tell me.

Wait, Kenji! Wait!

I'm going now.

All right.

What are you going to do?

About what?

Half of your blood is from this era.

Couldn't you stay and live in this era?

I think people are happiest living in the era they were born in.

I was sure you'd say that.

You're right.

It was a stupid question.

You hold it, you pervert!

Where are you putting it?

The only pocket is in here.

Give me mine!

Okay, fine.

No! That's not a pocket!

I told you you're a psychic.

Yeah. It seems so.

Let's finish this.

This is our fate.

Hey, you know what?

Tomorrow's the weekend.

So?

Wanna go to the beach?

Huh?

The typhoon that developed on the 4th

traveled over the Ogasawara Islands

and is moving southeast 200 km off the shores of Chichijima...

Don't you have any common sense?

Why are we at the beach in this weather?

Why not? It's summer.

But...!

It is summer.

I feel like a worry wart.

It'll be sunny later.

That really wasn't my point.

Hey... I brought the script.

The play?

Let's practice.

Yeah, let's.

You're kidding.

I brought lunch. Which first?

I didn't know you were so adaptable.

I say lunch!

Natsuki made lunch for you.

Don't be rude.

I might pass out.

Rude? Pass out?

I was just...

Let's all eat together.

You guys! You're kidding.

Sorry to make you worry all the time.

Who are you?

Kenji is...

That's me. I died that day.

But you slipped back in time and got hurt in my place

and lost the power.

When you change something, something else changes for balance.

Take care.

Are you going somewhere?

Wait! Stop!

Don't go! You promised!

We're always going to stay next to each other, aren't we?

Liar.

Don't go!

Kenji...

You promised.

Kenji...

You said so yourself.

You said we'll always stay next to each other.

Kenji...

You jerk.

Jerk...

The sun came out.

Was I saying something?

You know now.

Actually I've known for a long time.

Since when?

You came to school every day because of Kenji.

I realized how much you like him.

But Kenji likes you, Kaho.

It's not fair.

I liked him first.

For so long...

I've liked him.

For so long...

It's not fair.

So your dad knew my grandpa?

They weren't friends.

When my dad came to this era, your grandpa got in his way.

Why didn't he come with you?

You can time travel only once.

It's bad for the heart.

I sense his presence sometimes.

You do?

You do, huh?

I'll get you back!

I've come to like acting.

Yeah?

It's nice talking like this.

Talking is acting?

Because you don't let me read your mind.

Your power is stronger than mine by far.

Like the sun and the moon. That's why it's a one-way street.

You can't see moonlight during the day.

Even though the moon is out during the day.

What's taking you guys so long?

Oh my God... This is scary.

Really scary!

Ouch!

Here we go.

Get closer.

So this is summer.

Oh... You don't have the seasons.

No.

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

they forget their dreams when they wake up, right?

Why? Suddenly...

It's like hypnosis.

But...

If you fall in love under a magic spell...

When you wake up from the spell

and if that love you felt in the dream disappears

where does that feeling of love go?

I have to go back to the moon.

Go back? When?

Tonight, I think.

Then you'll probably forget about me.

Like "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

This is full already.

Full?

Full to the top with time.

With the several months that I've been gone.

Goodbye. I wish I could have listened to your "Moonlight."

Puck is such a prankster but a lovable one.

What are you talking about?

He's probably serious.

Playing pranks aren't nice.

We don't know what he's thinking.

What goes on in fairies' minds...

Don't go.

I have to.

I like you so much.

Really, I do.

I could never forget you.

If you're going...

No.

If you're going, then...

No!

I'll...

I'll go with you.

Let's go.

Go where?

Get on.

Without you, there'll be nothing to keep me in this era.

What?

I won't repeat it.

What did you say?

Come on.

Say it again, meanie.

Sorry.

My mother was from this era.

When she came to the future

she was probably lonely, very lonely.

Goodbye.

Hey.

You alone?

Yeah.

I see.

I came to see you off.

When you leave...

I'll break this.

I can't allow that.

I don't want to fight you.

You won't exist in this world anymore.

It's okay. It's my mission.

Ryoichi, get rid of them. Get their power!

Then the future will change. Humankind will survive.

Survive and then what?

What?

A past that has no future won't change.

We've done enough.

You fool. Your theory is wrong.

Why? I know you already know... Dad.

Because you couldn't return Mom to this era.

You have me.

Me, who's not supposed to exist.

No!

Why? Earth...

Why does it keep rejecting us?

It's like snow.

Wait... Have I ever seen snow?

Ah... It must be from the stories Mom told me

when I was a kid.

Kenji!

You used up your power knowing this would happen.

Go away... You'll get drawn in too.

Kyogoku, your and my hearts aren't connected.

But our hands can connect.

Isn't that good enough?

Your hands are warm. I can feel your heat.

Isn't that good enough?

Kenji!

Huh?

What are you doing?

I told you I came to see you off.

I can't exist in this era anymore.

I can't go back. I'll disappear soon.

I'll take you.

I can manage a one-way trip.

Don't be stupid. You'll be stuck.

Kyogoku...

Nobody is "not supposed to exist."

You still exist here because there are people who want you here.

Me... You...

Maybe everybody.

Maybe you're right.

Sorry, Natsuki.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

Wait for me.

You want me to wait?

Yeah.

If...

If I was born in this era

we could have been...

Shut up.

The you I know was our friend.

No matter how many light years we're apart

that won't change.

Kenji!

Kenji?

What was I doing?

Kenji...

Who's that?

Did you hear?

About what?

The new student.

New student?

I don't know this number.

Will you please answer your mobile?

That's weird...

This was supposed to make you remember me.

Jerk...

Natsuki?

You're a jerk!

I'm back.

Jerk.
