Misaki Chronicles Divergence Eve

My friends are more important than anything!

(Maybe) My friends are more important than anything!

(Maybe) We even have matching cell phone wallpapers

We even have matching cell phone wallpapers

And we walk along together, holding hands...

I don't wanna be by myself, because it makes me feel scared and lonely

I need lots of friends to keep on going

Kiss, kiss, kiss! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hug, hug, hug! Yeah, yeah!

Don't stop now! Keep on doing what you're doing! Oh!

Kiss, kiss, kiss! Kisses and...

Hug, hug, hug! I need you!

Stay by my side, my dear friend, my dear friend, my dear...

Kiss, kiss, kiss! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hug, hug, hug! Yeah, yeah!

Don't stop now! Keep on doing what you're doing! Oh!

In the end, it's all about friends

I want my friends to appreciate me!

All of them, forever, for sure!

They're the ones who understand me

Friendship is something that goes beyond love!

A friend is someone who accepts your feelings and emotions

Nice work, Lieutenant Commander!

Lieutenant Commander!

Lyar! Lieutenant Commander!

Lyar!

Somebody bring a stretcher! Quick!

Lyar! Hang on, Lyar!

What's going on?

Is that... Earth?

Coordinates of the Residential Ring transit space indicate a substantial margin of error.

What is happening? Explain!

It's Earth, Sir.

The Residential Ring has appeared not around Saturn,

but in close proximity to the Moon!

Then hurry and calculate its motion relative to the Moon!

We must avoid a collision at all costs.

We'll stop it before it comes within the Moon's gravitational field.

Velocity relative to the Moon has converged on .0001.

Switch the Gravitational Anchor over to arresting mode.

Then activate all observation systems.

Photon Detectors indicate a transient burst pattern.

Burst pattern?

The oscillation point is supposedly somewhere around the core.

As for the energy spectrum...

This energy reaction, it's...

Ghoul?

1936 The February 26th Incident

1936 The February 26th Incident I have read over the report, Lieutenant Commander.

I have read over the report, Lieutenant Commander.

Your body has been put under considerable stress.

If you continue to cross the temporal barrier like this, it will endanger your health.

Lieutenant, I don't understand what's going on.

Are there other Earths besides the one we know?

Do they really exist?

Perhaps you have heard of the notion that there are an infinite number of worlds,

and we simply perceive a single possibility?

What do you mean?

Actually, that theory is one of the reasons I dropped out of theoretical physics.

An infinite number of worlds of what might have been, huh?

Is something wrong, Lieutenant Commander?

No, I was just thinking...

What if someone had become desperate to find one of those other worlds,

and we have somehow gotten caught up in their search?

That couldn't be...

Misaki...

Who are you?

No! You can't come this way!

Stop! If you fire here...

Stop it!

Please understand.

I only want to put an end to this sorrowful time!

Sorrowful time?

There has always been sorrow, since long, long ago.

Don't be so sad.

You used to smile all the time.

If only this had never happened, you could have kept that smile.

Misaki...

Um... F-18345.

Ah, here it is.

Okay, next.

The next one.

Thank you!

Here you go.

You're a soldier?

Wow, that's awesome!

You're only about the same age as me, but you're already a commissioned officer.

What, could you tell by the insignia?

Actually I was hoping to be an officer myself.

Up until a year ago.

Did you quit?

Yeah, I just couldn't do it.

But looking back, I'm glad I quit.

I mean, now I'm helping people by...

What makes you say that? I mean, now I'm helping people by...

What makes you say that?

What do you mean?

You said you didn't think you could do it...

Well...

I mean, I...

Why...

What's wrong with me?

Why is my heart beating so fast all of a sudden?

It's okay, never mind.

I'm sure it's not worth dredging up.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand... For some reason you seem so familiar...

I'm sorry! That must have sounded pretty weird...

No, don't worry about it. Well, I have to get going anyhow...

I should be going too.

Actually, I used to have a friend who was kind of like you.

I had grown up in a camp that was under supervision of the Alliance,

so it seemed as if we were from different worlds.

I always thought she was someone who'd pursue her dreams without hesitation...

But I was wrong.

And by the time I realized, she was long gone.

My dreams?

Hmm... It seems I had quite a few of them.

Had?

Yes.

For example, I always dreamed of going to Europe

and seeing Renoir's and Cezanne's original paintings.

I guess it was because I was still a child...

Why do you say that? That's a wonderful dream to have.

There is something I came to realize over time.

Ultimately, dreams are nothing more than just that.

Oh, my! Listen to me!

I'm sorry for going on like that...

You were forced to give up your dreams, weren't you?

It's all right.

In the end I've been able to find my own happiness, if not my dream.

But the time is coming quickly...

An age when people won't even be able to realize happiness.

Well, damn. This MUST be a big deal if the Doc's ordering me to stay in bed at a time like this.

What are you talking about?

Crossing back and forth over the temporal barrier as you have is nothing to take lightly!

Why, it's enough to make any normal person collapse.

Fine, so I'm not normal.

All right, I'm done.

Now you take care of yourself.

So what did Observation have to say?

It was just as you had guessed.

The rifts they discovered are all connected to Japan's past.

So I was right...

But, what does this mean?

There was some confusion;

they believed that under normal circumstances, the rifts should have linked to other places as well.

I doubt these are normal circumstances.

Um...

Well... Do you think we'll really be able to return to Earth?

Oh, is that all?

That's not a remark I'd expect to hear coming from Luke Walker, the "drill sergeant from hell."

Pardon me...

I understand how you feel.

But for now, all I can ask... is that you trust me.

I do trust you.

Request permission to be dismissed.

Launch preparations are in order, Lieutenant Commander.

Good.

I'm sorry, Ensign Marialate.

I was supposed to go on that mission, but circumstances have prevented it.

What are you talking about? Please don't worry about us.

Just concentrate on your own recovery.

Ensign...

There's just one more thing I need to tell you before you go.

What is that, Ma'am?

Consider what I'm about to say as nothing but a personal guess...

I went through the rift in the temporal barrier

because there had apparently been a Specular signature detected.

However, what I saw there was not just a reflection of the Ghoul.

What I saw there...

Was something else...

Something else?

What is it you saw?

I don't know...

But I warn you that this mission could prove far more difficult than you think.

Now synchronizing with Ensign Marialate's chronometer.

We have confirmed what epoch the temporal barrier is now connected to.

When?

February 26th, 1936.

Location... Japan!

February 26th...

"A faction of junior military officers attempted a coup d'etat"? A revolution?

Why are you doing this?

With the way things are these days,

people must put personal interests aside and think of others first.

That's what I believe, at least.

Is that all?

I mean... Miss Isuzu, the reason you're still painting even now is...

Wow...

I didn't know a woman could even win such an important award.

You may be right...

But, even if my dream was in vain, what I found in lieu of it were his ideals.

And now we can pursue those ideals together!

That's a lie.

You're only going to crush her hopes and happiness.

Ist Infantry Division

Were you in love with him?

We were to be married.

What about now?

I don't know.

But, I want to believe...

I'm still happy so long as I can continue to believe.

You say happiness... but it sounds tragic.

What about happiness?

In order to save the impoverished rural communities,

we must take this country back from all the self-serving profiteers.

Your ideal?

But...

But to achieve it, she must suffer in sorrow!

I won't allow myself to be held down by the insignificant desires of just one person!

Insignificant?

Are you saying a person's hopes and dreams mean nothing to you?

Is that what you think... Father?

What's the matter?

I received a letter from him last night.

He said we won't be able to see each other anymore.

But why?

Why don't you try to stop him?

No, I can't.

You can't?

I mustn't stop him. I have to accept it...

So if that's my fate...

And what about being happy? What about your own happiness, Miss Isuzu?

I can't sacrifice his ideals for my own sake!

"Insignificant desires"...

No, you're all wrong!

You can't just stand by and watch...

You can't just give up like that!

No! You can't come this way!

An irregular burst has been detected emanating from the rift in the temporal barrier.

We're sending you in ahead of schedule.

Understood!

I can do it.

I can change the course of this sorrowful time.

Do you really think you'll be able to?

The Ghoul told me.

I can become the source... The controller of time.

Nobody can control time.

No, you're wrong! You're wrong! You're wrong!

The person she cares about most is going to a place he'll never return from!

They'll never see each other again... Never again!

Damn! Normal lasers won't do a thing, after all.

Well, in that case...

Wait!

What? Wait!

Misaki!

Kiri...

What's going on here?

What I saw there,

was something else.

Don't tell me you're what the Lieutenant Commander was talking about!

You're the cause of...

No... But still, back during the Exodus...

Misaki has disappeared? What is going on?

We can confirm she had evacuated when the Exodus started, only...

Only... what?

The one who launched at that particular moment...

may have been Ensign Kureha.

But...

If that was the case, then Misaki... she...

Misaki... Are you really Misaki?

Kiri... I can't explain it to you right now, but you must understand.

If things keep going like they are now, then...

Luxandra and Susanna, the two of them will...

What are you talking about?! Luxandra is already dead, and...

Do you mean to say...

you're trying to alter time... and change the future?

I have the power to do it now.

Those men are responsible for destroying the happiness of so many people,

as well as Luxandra and lots of other people, too.

No, Misaki!

Don't you realize that by trying to change time

you're endangering the lives of everyone living on the Residential Ring?

You're putting 10 million lives at risk!

The Ring would have been destroyed anyway if I hadn't altered time.

What?!

Are you really so determined to get in my way?

I saw Susanna just before I came here.

You met... Susanna?

She was working as hard as ever.

You met... Susanna?

Even if there is great misfortune, you must accept how time unfolds.

It's not about giving up on happiness, but creating new happiness.

To create new happiness...

I don't understand. I just don't understand!

Misaki!

Kiri... Goodbye.

Misaki.

Kiri? Hey, are you listening, Kiri?

The temporal barrier is about to close up.

We have to get back to the corridor, and quick!

The temporal barrier is closing?

Hurry! We have less than 10 minutes!

Okay!

Why... Is it wrong to change these sad times?

Good work back there.

Lieutenant Commander?

I saw Misaki...

I mean, I saw Ensign Kureha.

She was trying to stop the coup.

Or rather... not just the coup.

She was trying to change the course of time itself, and save people from that troubled era.

She was trying to stop it from happening...

But I think I'm starting to understand why Ensign Kureha called out to me...

Called out?

Next Episode A simple promise.

A simple promise.

She was only trying to change the present,

which links the fragments of her memories together.

But nothing changes.

When she realizes she cannot change things simply by wishing,

the girl at the bottom of the sea

beat against the door of time, which had been frozen shut.

She travels across infinite distance in search of help...

and so that she can believe in her friends once more.
