Akira...

Dammit.

Dammit.

Dammit!

Dammit!

Dammit!

Why am I always like this...

always burdening Akira.

You've always been like that.

You never change and you never understand anything.

Water is colorless.

Freely changing it's shape as it flows.

Yet, it dirties if it settles.

Such a short-lived existence.

Line?

If I took this...

Just seeing you annoys me.

The shapelessness of water gets drawn in by gravity,

making it flow downwards.

Hey Akira...

If I were to become strong, would it make you smile?

Akira...

Why is that the only expression I remember?

Maybe I've forgotten?

I want to see more of Akira's smiling face.

I want to see Akira's tear-stained face.

His flustered face.

I want to see his troubled face.

I want to see his rigid face in agony.

Water that has once stagnated can't return back to its source.

It keeps spreading.

It gets dirtier.

Distractions day after day, it's always something

Meutsuri Shiteru Hibi Are Kore

I see the crimson trailing down your cold skin

Awadatsu Hada wo Tsutai Ochiru CRIMSON

Why do you want another punishment?

Why do you want Atarashii Batsu wo

The sweet fragrances that are drifting about

Tadayou Amai Kaori wo Tada

I just want to leave them be

Asobasete Itai Dake Nano sa

Someone hurry up and shoot me

Dareka Boku wo Hayaku Uchinuite yo

Show me a gunshot strong enough to make a hole

Show me Kantsuushita Juusou Ana ga Aku Hodo

I crush my thorny grip

Toge Darake no GRIP Nigiritsubushite

and load bullets that look like ripe flowerbuds

Osanai Mada Tsubomi no You na Dangan de

Let me shoot through the soul

Let me, shot through the soul

and dye it rose

Bara-iro ni Somare

Oh, you're awake,

Princess.

Still in pain?

Why don't you sleep some more?

Don't look at me like that.

Oh yeah.

Do you want to know how I found you, Akira?

No...

By smell.

Your smell.

Keisuke... You didn't take Line, did you?

It wasn't a smell like shampoo or soap. It was better than that.

A scent to my liking.

Come on, say something. It wasn't easy.

Or do you want to hear it from me?

The me who you see now has done a great deal of killing in such a short time.

You did it?

Did what?

At the club in the neutral zone.

Yeah. That's right.

I did it.

I killed them all.

They were all weaklings.

And idiots on top of that.

Idiots are idiots no matter how many you kill.

Not like they had any reason for living.

I didn't really enjoy killing them anyway.

Why do you look like that?

Did I say something weird?

Oh yeah, there was that guy who tried to steal my tags.

The one with blue hair.

I felt so bad that one time when you had to save me.

So...

I'm returning the favor now.

That's a great expression!

First time I've seen you look like that!

That guy...

He was near you.

So, if I approached him, I could pick up your scent.

He was too stupid to learn his lesson. I couldn't really do much about that.

But you know what?

His blood was really warm.

It felt great.

I can still taste his blood in my mouth.

Hey, ain't I great?

Hey, Akira. Say something?

Why did you take Line?

What are you saying?

Don't you understand?

Didn't you want me to be like this?

How I...

Don't play dumb.

Didn't you want me to stand on my own two feet and stop relying on you?

Didn't you want me to be able to fend for myself?

That's not it.

That's not what I wanted.

What then?

Is that why you took Line?

Isn't it the same for everyone?

They want to become strong and obtain power, so they take Line.

If you take it, your body won't be able to withstand it.

Keisuke, you'll die.

You know, Akira...

You're pretty self-centered.

What did you say to me earlier?

That I annoy you, was it?

That's why I'm not gonna abide by anyone's rules.

I'm gonna do it my way.

That's what you said.

Or am I mistaken?

Come on. Say something, Akira?

Do you hate me, Akira?

You always have that look in your eyes when you look at me.

Have you been hanging out with me just so you could look down on me?

Well, is that how it is, Akira?

No, you got it wrong!

Just one of your whims then?

When you're in a good mood, you want to hang out together;

When you're in a bad mood, you toss me aside.

No...

Whatever.

It's not worth it.

Anyway.

I guess the face I want to see from you the most...

is your dying one, after all.

Hey! Do we have to take care of all of these bodies?

Of course.

That's our job.

Gosh.

This isn't good for upholding the rules of Igra.

Go and find the culprit immediately!

Huh? More overtime?

That's overkill!

Is that so?

The guy did all this. It could be fun.

Bet Mitsuko would be delighted, too.

Reporting in.

What?

A Line abuser who died in odd circumstances?

My, my.

If this isn't...

How unsightly.

Ya seen this guy somewhere before?

Idiot.

He's the tag thief.

Was it this guy?

Can't see any blue on his head... Just blood everywhere!

And?

This is the Line abuser whom they say died of shock?

Yeah. He was fighting with a young man.

When he won, he licked the other man's blood.

And the moment he did that, he was in great pain.

The moment he licked his blood?

Now now, don't do that!

You'll get filthy.

Blood that rejects Line. How interesting.

Is he in this picture?

Uh...

It's this one!

I see.

So it's about Project Nicole.

Akira!

Rin...

So this is where you were.

What's the matter?

You look awful.

What happened to you?!

H-Hey!

Akira, what's wrong?

Akira?!

Heave-ho!

I'm sorry, Rin.

It's all right.

But what happened to you?

Keisuke got his hands on Line.

Eh?

He killed those people in the club.

That can't be...

I never noticed how he was brooding over things.

Even though he was right beside me.

You're not the one to blame. It's the drug's fault.

Even if it was your fault, I'm the one who told him about Line.

But deep down inside, that's how Keisuke always felt about me...

Well, you have to consider that a lot of things happened when he got his hands on Line.

A lot of people lose sight of themselves in this town.

I can't claim to understand Keisuke's feelings.

I'm sorry.

Bad timing.

I'm gonna go and check the situation.

Rin!

Where are you gonna go?

Well, several places.

Don't look at me like that.

I'll be fine.

After all, there are things I have to do here in Toshima no matter what.

See ya, Akira.

Rin...

It's no good if you become like me.

Keisuke...

Is this for me?

I know this is sudden, but I would like to invite you over for a meal.

It won't take long. Won't you give me some of your precious time?

I would like to have a word with you about your friend who you were with earlier.

You're welcome any time as long as you come alone.

I'll be waiting.

Yours, Arbitro.

To be dyed or not to be dyed by any color.

Acquaintances. Responsibilities. Understanding.

At times, these things trickle out from the inside.

What do you think?

What are you talking about?

A man will come soon.

Please give this to him.

Just who are you?

Trying to look without seeing.

There are things you can't see even if you go to great lengths to try and see them.

Do you understand any of this?

If we meet again, I'd like to hear your answer.

Our spy in Toshima contacted us.

Did he find him?

Seems he's come in contact with n.

He'll continue the surveillance so we can capture n.

No...

Head over to Toshima.

But...

There's no point in letting n slip away.

We're gathering intelligence so we can capture n.

This matter isn't open for discussion.

Have you been here for a long time?

Why do you have that thing?

Did a man come here?

What a joke.

Did you look at what's inside it?

Do you know that man?

I have something to ask you too!

Who the hell is he?

He is...

fear.

Fear?

Forget all that you've witnessed here.

Got that?

I don't recall agreeing to take orders from you.

Then do you want to die here?

There's no point in killing you.

kuroku nijimu me ni utsuru konton o nageku in’ei

The shadow that laments in confusion reflected in those black-oozing eyes

keikokuon kikazu shikou kaihou LOOK UP LOOK DOWN

Without listening to the warning sound, release my thoughts, look up look down

gouin ni ikesou na riron souten shitanda

Filled myself up with forcibly plausible logic,

DON'T YOU HEAR THAT

keshisaru keisu ichido dake I WANT TO KNOW IT

Erase that case just one time, I want it know it

kizutsukeaeba ii sono saki wa mitakumonai

It’s all right to hurt each other, I don’t even want to see what happens beyond that

YOU CAN'T LOOK INTO MY EYES

CROSSING FATE naita zanzou to majiwaru shoudou genjitsu toshite

crossing fate, as the crying afterimage and impulse reality intersect

FALLING DOWN karamitsuita toge o te ni kasumu kairou e

falling down, the entangling thorns blur in my hands and I head to the corridor

BACK AND FORTH I CAN'T SEE

SO LISTEN IF YOU'RE INTERESTED

I HOPE YOU'LL NOT FORGET THE DAY

I WILL BE STANDING HERE ALL BY MYSELF
