Madoka.

Hold mom tight.

Get in there.

Hurry up. -You, Mom?

I'll be fine.

Mom.

Professor, how is it?

My legs are sore.

Yes but, my question...

Are we safe with that level?

We are.

A man named Mizuki Yoshiro.

67 years old.

The fire department has detected lethal gaz...

trace of hydrogen sulfide.

Where the man was found...

hydrogen sulfide was detected.

I repeat.

The man is named Mizuki Yoshiro.

The area is sealed but we should be OK.

Right , professor?

If it drags any longer...

this spa resort is over.

Professor, you need to declare the area safe.

Don't pressure me like that.

Eric Paroissien Translation http://japan-subtitles.com

the body was found there?

You can't be here.

The area is sealed.

For this particular scene...

it is quite sheltered from the wind.

Hydrogen sulfide gas could accumulate.

However, a lethal concentration of gaz...

is close to impossible.

That mean...

there's no problem for the hot springs.

In that case...

did that man commit suicide?

No...

Hydrogen sulfide can be used for that purpose...

but always in cars or houses.

They're always closed places.

In outdoors conditions...

there is no way to maintain a lethal level of gas.

So that's it.

If there's no problem we're going to reopen.

Is it possible that someone else...

made him inhale the hydrogen sulfide?

Do you mean...

it would be a murder?

Right.

And, who are you?

Sorry.

I'm Nakaoka with Azabu Police Department.

Aza-bu?

What do you think, Professor?

The probability of a murder?

It's impossible.

For anyone...

it's impossible to maintain high levels of hydrogen sulfide long enough.

It's not an accident, a suicide or a murder.

So how did he die?

We don't know yet.

See you.

Professor.

Let me ask you a few questions.

Professor.

Something was required to produce the gas?

Nothing was not found at the scene.

Probably the murderer took it with him.

Professor.

Are you listening?

Excuse me.

As I said...

the levels of gas on the scene are too low.

It can't be a murder.

Professor, tea is ready.

Thank you.

There was no wind.

There's always some, even if you don't feel it.

Such concurring factors...

only a sorcerer or a spirit could do it.

Thank you.

How about a devil?

For example, someone killing her husband for money.

With a handsome life insurance.

A wife, 30 years younger than her husband.

Excuse me.

Laplace's Witch Eric Paroissien Translation http://japan-subtitles.com

When the carbon dioxide concentration is less than 500ppm...

the ice cap starts to extend...

ice spreads again on the continents...

with the impact of...

massive climate changes.

Although this thesis encompasses the Phanerozoic Eon...

the research on more major climate changes...

focuses on two hypothesis.

First, the phenomenon I mentioned before...

called the 'snowball hypothesis'...

in Japanese, referred to as "global freezing"...

700 million years ago.

The second is the Remer hypothesis...

Professor. -Yes

it's time.

Too bad.

The best part was coming.

Next time we'll see the snowball and Remer hypothesis in detail.

I hope everyone is interested.

The gas produced by a volcano could be carried by a breeze...

and spread in lower places...

where a lethal concentration could build up.

How could someone produce hydrogen sulfide and use it?

The highest possible level would be only 0.001%...

a random accident is impossible.

I can't figure this out.

Are you still engrossed with that investigation?

The hot spring spot itself is safe, right?

You should be satisfied with that.

Sure, but...

now you put that in a drawer and move on.

You haven't read your students essays, right?

I'm sorry.

And so, you'll let them all pass again.

You're so lenient.

You're obsessed with that investigation.

Mrs. Okunishi.

I have to object on two points.

Firstly, I am not lenient with my students.

So many young people interested in the field of geochemistry...

isn't that wonderful?

I don't want to be harsh on them...

and discourage their future.

Did I say something strange?

No

your students aren't interested in your field but in their own...

Never mind.

Secondly, about that investigation...

it is not an obsession...

your assessment is inaccurate.

Talking about the devil, look.

I heard about that waterfall...

we walked by with my husband.

But on the way there...

I realized I had forgotten the battery of the camera...

so your husband had this accident when you went back to the hotel?

I shouldn't have worried about the camera.

It's all my fault

it was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Mizuki, please...

That man was a famous filmmaker.

They say she will inherit a fortune.

Hello, this is the Aoe Research Lab.

What?

Alright.

Alright.

Professor, what did you do?

What?

Inspector Nakaoka from the Azabu Police Department.

Be careful. -Alright.

The name of the deceased is Nasuno Goro, 39...

living in Saitama.

Someone discovered him on this bench...

slouching as if he'd fallen asleep.

He died of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

Tell us, Professor?

A month ago...

far from here in that hot spring...

exactly the same type of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

Would you say this is random?

How is that possible?

It is a recessed terrain...

if this was the victim...

the hydrogen sulfide pouring...

this can certainly not reach a lethal level.

Soba noodle soup with no onions.

Nasuno was not alone.

He was seen at the hot spring with a young lady driving a car.

Some residents saw them.

She was hiding behind a hat and sunglasses.

I suspect she is Mizuki's wife, Chisato

what we know about Nasuno...

he's a second rate actor.

An actor?

Mizuki was a filmmaker.

I wouldn't be surprised if the two were connected.

As it is...

I would bet that...

this victim and Mizuki’s wife are connected.

That would mean...

Chisato Mizuki is a serial killer.

She had an affair with Nasuno...

He helped her kill her husband, then she got rid if him.

Why are you so focused on her?

Investigator's intuition.

Here you are.

Thank you

there.

What is that?

Good appetite.

Good appetite.

Yes.

What the...?

Sorry about the late intrusion.

Did you just see a young lady?

She ran away from her home.

What is that?

Please, take me to the crime scene.

Professor Aoe Shusuke

Who are you?

How do you know my name?

You're the university professor investigating the incidents.

I gathered that much information...

but on my own I can't get any farther.

The police is on my trail...

and even the locals are forbidden to go there.

So that's why I need you..

Take me to the crime scene.

He was seen at the hot spring with a young lady driving a car.

There are witnesses.

Tell me...

you went to Akakuma Hot Springs too, right?

You are more stupid than you look.

What?

If I had done it, I wouldn't need your help to find it.

So...

if you can help.

What's your name?

I can't help someone who doesn't have a name?

Yuhara Madoka.

Why do you want to go there?

I am looking for someone...

a very dear friend.

I must find him.

What's his connection to the crime scene ?

Please take me there.

Please.

This is the map of the scene.

I am a university professor.

I can't break the law.

You'll manage with that.

A map?

This is a map?

This is the mountain path.

And here...

I get it, I'll go with you.

Tomorrow at 9am.

Let's go.

What?

Nasuno Goro.

He was in a TV drama 2 years ago.

He only made 2 movies

can he be called an actor?

Well, he just has to state it himself.

However, in all the roles he played...

we don't see Mizuki's name anywhere.

That is...

these two are not professionally connected.

Excuse me.

Mr. Mizuki was a prolific filmmaker.

What?

Director: Amakasu Saisei

This director...

Right.

Amakasu Saisei

He used to be quite famous.

We haven't heard his name lately.

This director is connected to both Mizuki and Nazu?

That's quite a coincidence.

How about a coffee, inspector Nakaoka.

Sure.

Amakasu Saisei.

He often depicts real life in the crudest light.

There's only one genius like him every a century.

He received numerous awards.

It's here.

What are you doing?

Wondering where the poisonous gas would come from.

If there is a possibility.

It would come from above.

It wouldn't be possible in summer.

Because the geothermal heat rises...

the gas would be diffused.

But with the cold of winter...

The air will barely moves, there is no wind.

This gas is heavier than air...

it flows downstream...

and settles in the recessed areas.

But as a rule...

with the slightest breeze, it will dissipate.

You...

Who are you?

I am a witch...

a Laplace witch.

Laplace?

The mathematician?

That guy? The Laplace equation?

Pierre-Simon Laplace

18th century French mathematician

He imagine Laplace's demon.

An imaginary superbeing...

who knows the location and momentum of every atom in the universe...

and analyze this data.

With that power and intelligence...

he can reveal the entire course of cosmic events.

Know the past and the future

So he can predict the development of all future events.

Miss Okunishi.

Do you believe in predicting the future?

What?

Do you think witches and sorcerers exist?

What?

Sorry.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Professor, I'd like your opinion.

Again?

Why do you always come to me?

I have no choice.

I have no choice but...

I have no choice but investigate it as a murder...

that's the only way to handle this case.

The setting makes the murder hypothesis impossible.

Amakasu Saisei.

What?

Film director known as a genius.

You know him?

Well...

I heard his name.

Mizuki and Nasuno both worked with him.

And that's the only way to connect them.

In their trade it's probably common.

But there's more...

when Amakasu was 47 years old...

Hydrogen sulfide?

Correct.

His daughter committed suicide with the gas...

killing also his wife and sparing his son.

Amakasu was away on a movie set in Hokkaido.

Hydrogen sulfide.

What are the odds?

But that was 8 years ago.

But it doesn't stop there.

This is Amakasu’s blog.

Posted one year after the incident.

Read this entry.

This is an account addressed to his son.

That day my beloved wife and daughter passed away.

If among the readers...

someone wanted to commit suicide with hydrogen sulfide...

I advise you...

to give up this idea.

This kind of suicide...

is said to offer a peaceful death...

but it's a lie.

But that...

my wife and daughter didn't know.

Do you know why your wife and daughter did this?

I don't.

How should I know?

I'm sorry, Kento...

I wish I was with you...

to wish you…

a happy birthday.

Every year...

we used to celebrate it together.

This year it's only the two of us.

Do you mean that there's a chance...

that Kento would wake up?

A remote possibility.

This surgery has never been performed before.

We're not sure of the outcome.

It could even aggravate his condition.

Please, think about it.

I don't care.

Even if there was just once chance in a hundred...

that Kento's condition would improve.

And so...

the miracle happened.

Right.

So now...

you can really hear me? Kento?

Once for "yes"...

twice for "No"...

three times for "I don't know"...

these are the signs we agreed on with Kento.

Kento, you worked hard.

Such a good boy.

Dad believes in you.

Three times is "don't know".

Actually...

it seems that Kento has lost his memory.

You mean...

he even forgot me?

Who are you?

My name is Amakasu Saisei.

I am your father.

I am a film maker.

You know what a film is?

I know.

You used to come on the set of my films...

and when you saw the hero in his costume...

you'd shout, "He's fake."

I am tired, I want to rest.

Yes, of course.

Sorry, sorry.

Do you have any memory about your mother and sister?

How about school?

What about your teachers and classmates?

By the way...

Kawakami from the football club...

would like to visit you.

You were close, always hanging out together.

I'm not interested in all your stories.

Say, Kento...

may I ask you a last question?

And then I won't bother you again.

It does not matter...

I see.

You're right.

For me too...

this Kento is not my son.

And for him...

I am not his father either.

This way...

just knowing that Kento lives in this world...

makes me happy.

Some day...

it would be good if I could make another movie.

Whatever happens now...

I am still a filmmaker.

I just don't know when I'll resume.

Hang on.

Kento.

Finally, I want to thank my family.

I owe you to be alive today.

I want to go on with my life.

Thank you, Yukako.

Thank you, Moe.

And finally...

thank you, Kento.

So? Professor?

I don't know what to say.

I understand Amakasu's tragedy.

How is that connected with this case?

Suicide by hydrogen sulfide.

It was popular at the time.

Right.

It could be a coincidence.

But once a hypothesis emerges...

it all makes sense.

A hypothesis?

Amakasu met with much success...

but many of his films were unsuccessful.

At that time Mizuki and his wife lent him a lot of money.

And that caused much tension in Mizuki's family.

By contrast as you can see on his blog...

Amakasu dearly loved his family.

Always bragging about them...

keeping close to them.

As he saw Amakasu's happiness...

how do you think Mizuki felt about it?

You mean that Mizuki killed Amakasu's family...

setting it up as an hydrogen sulfide suicide?

More correctly...

Mizuki elaborated the plan and Nasuno executed it.

Mizuki has an alibi since he was with Amakasu in Hokkaido.

most probably the movie was an excuse to keep Amakasu away...

and throw suspicions on him.

When Amakasu realized that, in his turn...

he used hydrogen sulfide...

to kill Mizuki and Nasuno.

So many years later?

I don't know why.

After Amakasu wrote the last blog entry...

he disappeared.

Evaporated as if he never existed.

Do you see the plot now.

I don't see anything.

As I said repeatedly...

In both those spa sites...

it is impossible to kill with human-made hydrogen sulfide.

What if Mizuki Chisato helped him?

First, she took the victim to a place where the gas can accumulate.

Amakasu stood safely at a distance.

Then he vaporized the gaz over the whole area.

Impossible.

On such an irregular terrain...

you can't predict how the gas will spread.

And the probability to aim it at one spot...

is close to zero.

Close to zero.

So it's not zero.

Thank you, Professor.

Amakasu Saisei talks about his latest work.

Amakasu, the genius with a tragedy.

This face.

Where did I see him?

"I want to find a dear friend."

The friend you're looking for is Amakasu Kento, right?

How did you guess?

Those two officers who were chasing you that night.

I see.

Is Kento connected to the murder?

What do you know?

Tell me everything.

Why do you need to know?

I'm helping the investigation...

if I made a mistake...

it would harm the hot spring resorts

No, actually...

as a scientist I need the answer to this enigma.

Please.

Hello.

Where are you?

On the bridge.

On the bridge?

Since you helped me I'll do you a favor.

But then you'll have to leave me alone.

Stop, stand there.

Continue in that direction.

What?

Forward.

Stop, to your right.

My right?

Sorry, your left.

What?

A little more.

What?

Just stand there.

It can't be.

This is impossible.

But you saw it with your own eyes.

If that was hydrogen sulfide...

What are you doing?

Could you come with us?

I am Yuhara from the Neurosurgery Dpt at Kaimei Hospital.

Yuhara?

Are you...?

I'm sorry for the trouble my daughter caused you.

What is all this about?

You know about Amakasu Kento?

Not much.

I just read his father's blog.

So you have a little idea.

After he was hospitalized...

he made a miraculous recovery.

This is him on the screen?

Right.

3 years after his surgery.

3

4

Can you guess what he's doing?

5

I can't guess.

He's throwing a dice and telling the result.

Please look carefully.

6

3

No way.

5

4

He predicts the outcome.

It's not a prediction.

It's a reading.

As soon as the dice leaves his hand he can read it.

When it's in his hand, he cannot predict the outcome.

As he throws it, the dice undergoes gravity...

with almost no air resistance.

The way it falls on the mat, the angle...

its inertia...

the elasticity coefficient...

the friction, all the various factors in a throw...

until it stops...

they are a series of physical phenomena...

that can all be calculated.

That's how he reads the outcome as the dice leaves his hand.

This is sound theoretically...

but it's impossible.

If you drop it from here...

could you tell the outcome?

Probably 6.

Look.

If the conditions are controlled...

you too can read an outcome.

This is totally different.

It's the same.

His reading is based on physical principles.

The underlying physical phenomena are the same.

Have you ever been to the fair?

The fair? -Yes.

As a kid a few times.

Picture the crowd walking along a lane...

most people are going somewhere...

but they rarely bump into each other.

You mean that too is a reading?

That's right.

And if you're too self-conscious about bumping into someone...

you can't enjoy the fair.

So what would you do?

You just follow the people walking in the same direction.

Naturally forming a stream of people.

It is a form of order.

What is important...

is that people are not aware of it.

This is an innate human skill.

His ability is an enhancement of that skill.

Do you understand what it means?

Imagine the possibilities if we all had that talent.

With that surgery, anyone can acquire this ability.

All people are different...

but basically I think it is possible.

However...

there are obstacles to prove this.

Experimenting surgery on humans.

Yes.

Even with a few selected individuals...

there's no guaranty...

that the surgery will go smoothly.

If anything went wrong...

the post-traumatic sequels could be disastrous.

But you went ahead with it anyway...

with your own daughter.

There is a National Institute monitoring us.

For Kento's case...

as long as the technology is not ready and safe...

we cannot disclose the state of the research.

Our government would like to monopolize this technology...

for obvious reasons.

If we want to escape their grip, when need to proceed fast.

But that said...

you used your own daughter as a lab rat.

This is not ethical.

Miss Madoka requested it herself.

What?

She asked for the surgery.

The doctor was always uneasy about it.

Why did she do that?

When she was 10...

she saw her mother die.

Get in there. -You, Mom.

I'll be fine.

Mom.

A tornado?

She was riding back home with her mother.

The weather is turning bad, we have to go back.

I want to see the lake.

OK, make it quick.

Madoka insisted to see the lake.

It was Madoka's whim.

If she had been more reasonable...

they would not have faced the tornado.

I think Madoka has always been blaming herself.

Then she learned about Kento's ability.

With this ability...

she could predict the weather to an extent...

and prevent such tragedies.

She wanted to undergo this surgery.

Yes.

Maybe, also to alleviate the burden of her guilt.

I knew how she felt...

and I did not object to the surgery.

Professor Aoe...

I told you all this...

because you are a researcher like me.

Believing you understand the importance of this research.

I'm asking you avoid any involvement with us...

and to forget everything that happened today.

Until the day...

this research will be available to the public.

Will that day really come?

Of course.

If everything you say is true...

the two incidents of the hot springs...

or rather...

these two murders can have only one perpetrator.

Amakasu Kento.

Is he exacting a revenge?

On Mizuki and Nasuno who killed his mother and his sister?

That means...

he did not lose his memory, right?

In that case...

Because of this research 2 persons are dead.

And you ask me to look the other way?

This is also for your sake.

Are you threatening me?

From this point on...

there are powers that are beyond our control.

That's how it is.

Hello.

Professor.

I found Amakasu.

You met him?

Yes.

But I couldn't talk with him.

He's clammed up and he draws all the time.

He said he is researching for his next movie.

But...

he mentions a movie he already made long ago.

He's still grieving for the loss of his family.

He seems broken inside.

I checked with the staff taking care of him.

In his condition...

he couldn't exact revenge on Mizuki or Nasuno.

Alright.

Your investigator's intuition failed you.

No.

Someone else could have sought revenge.

Amakasu Kento.

If he has regained memory...

It’s going to rain in 40 seconds.

From here to the institute, it's a 3 minute walk.

You would get wet.

You are a patient of my father's.

I was surprised.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I wanted to explain it to you.

But I had to catch the bus.

How did you guess?

I saw your photo in the doctor's office.

No, I'm asking...

how did you guess about the rain?

That's...

just a sense.

I can't explain.

You can predict any physical phenomenon?

I can't predict earthquakes...

or extreme turbulences.

Turbulences?

Like thunderstorms and hurricanes.

Or...

tornados.

Do you know the Navier Stokes equation?

The physical questions that could not be solved.

If they could, the impact on science would be tremendous.

The key to these...

could be here inside.

If they were solved...

would a tornado be predictable?

In theory.

But it will take a long time.

Maybe, it would require many more like you.

Why doesn't my dad take care of this?

It just takes a surgery, right?

Just like that one you had, Kento.

You may be right...

but it’s not that simple.

Why?

To become a Laplace Demon...

It takes a certain disposition.

I don't understand you.

But I don't know what to do.

The doctor has been researching for a very long time...

but I'm new to this issue...

so I'm not qualified to judge.

I'm not going to interfere with you.

That's my resolution.

If you can stick to that...

we'll extend the same favor.

What happened?

Sorry.

Go seal the lower exits.

Please help me again.

I need your talent, Professor.

How so?

There.

My "talent"? You need a driver.

Come on, hurry up.

Dam it.

You did all that investigation without referring to anyone.

I'm very sorry.

You did your best.

Alright.

Better keep this quiet for now.

I need you to focus on this case.

Alright sir, thank you.

Let me take care of the main office.

alright.

What's the next step?

Amakasu Kento.

Any clues?

None.

Maybe I should re-investigate from the start.

Alright.

Let’s do that. -Yes.

What your purpose in looking for Kento?

I need to find him soon.

If Kento decided to act on...

Maybe...

I do this when my research doesn't progress.

It is a breath of fresh air.

It's like flying on the wings of the wind.

You're escaping from reality.

That's right.

Good ideas come out of it sometimes...

sometimes I have breakthroughs that way.

I believe Kento saw things that I could not see.

He said, "To be a Laplace demon, it takes a certain disposition."

I don't even know what he meant by that.

You know what?

I think you're regretting it.

Sure, this ability is a quantum leap for mankind...

but...

it also made a murderer of Kento.

Look at you...

confined to the institute...

treated as a lab rat by your own father.

This ability...

mankind received it maybe too soon.

That uncontrollable power...

could destroy our future.

Can such progress make you happy?

Maybe...

maybe it's a curse on you.

I can't...

really tell...

but one thing I'm sure about...

Kento...

is not a murderer.

Absolutely not.

Maybe I get it.

Are you OK?

Maybe we should stop.

I'm fine.

I need to stand on my own.

It's time, right?

Right.

If I read it right, the tornado is coming.

I failed.

The turbulences are still out of my reach.

The conditions are good...

possibly.

Come, I need to show you something.

Eric Paroissien Translation http://japan-subtitles.com/

What is it?

The rainbow of the moon...

the moon halo.

The moon halo.

It is a good omen of happiness.

The legend says that it reunites you with the souls you lost.

Thank you.

I could always count on Kento.

I didn’t realize it.

But, during these 8 years...

he was only harboring revenge.

Although...

he was suffering...

I couldn't help him.

But this time...

I will be here for Kento.

She's here.

Even if Kento killed Mizuki and Nasuno.

He needed someone to take them to the scene.

If Nakaoka’s intuition is right...

She is our only link to find Kento.

Please, pick it up for me.

Put it on speaker.

Aoe speaking.

I went back to the start and search the Amakasu family again.

It seems we've been misled.

Misled? How?

Well.

A lady who was close to the late Mrs. Amakasu...

said that, Amakasu wanted to divorce his wife.

Divorce?

There's nothing like that in the blog.

That's right.

His daughter, who was in middle school...

was selling her favors for small change.

The social services had to get involved.

What?

The happy family of the blog is Amakasu's fiction.

What is this turning into?

Why did Kento need to fake amnesia?

He needed free rein to exact revenge unhindered.

But how could Kento, when he woke up...

even plan that far ahead.

Telling the police who the murderer was...

was a more straightforward revenge.

But, think of it...

maybe he wanted to fool the murderer.

What if the murderer...

was very close?

Goodness... the murderer of Kento's family...

How could it be?

Mr. Amakasu.

Your son’s friend is coming to pick you up.

A storm?

This would be a good climax for my movie.

Stop, what are you doing?

You're accused of abducting a minor.

What?

She is important, deal with her carefully.

What is that?

If you don't tread carefully...

we'll just have to arrest more people.

I'm really sorry.

Go after Amakasu.

This is how we'll catch up with Kento.

I'll delay them.

Thank you, Mr. Takeo

let's go, Professor.

I don't even know what we're doing.

"He's clammed up and he draws all the time."

"He said he is researching on his next movie."

"But he mentions a movie he already made long ago."

Such memories.

This is...

the set of my movie "the Clock in the Ruins" where I shot the climax.

Such a beautiful place.

I had to buy it.

That movie was a turkey...

but this time I'll make a masterpiece.

Your son is there inside, I have to go.

I don't think so.

What?

Come out, Kento.

It's been 8 years, let me see your face at least.

You're an adult now.

You make your dad proud.

Why did Kento choose this place?

A turbulence.

What?

You can't just leave me here.

You should stay for tea at least.

As long as she's with me, you can't use hydrogen sulfide.

I thought you'd come sooner.

You were slow to connect the dots.

I had business to attend to.

But it will soon be over.

Don't be so anxious.

As a director I pay attention to details.

And so...

all my props are real...

otherwise something is missing.

A downburst?

A strong ground-level wind coming from a source above...

that spreads out quickly once it hit the ground.

All the conditions are optimal.

Kento wants to destroy all the ruins...

and kill his father and himself.

Mom.

What is it?

Tell me...

I'd like to know, Kento.

You know that 8 years ago...

I set up the hydrogen sulfide suicide.

but you were not conscious then.

How did you guess that it was me?

I heard it.

Beautiful.

This is more tragic than losing all of one's family.

This will be a great movie.

What, Mr. Mizuki?

I need a true story.

You said an agonizing reality was necessary.

So that's exactly what I set up.

It will be fine.

He can't move or talk.

If there was any risk...

I'll shut him up for good.

Don't worry.

Tell me...

did Nasuno arrange my alibi carefully?

From your own mouth.

I was totally powerless, do you understand that feeling?

I see, you were listening.

That must have been tough.

Poor kid.

But...

this time again, it's a good scenario.

The eternal challenge of father and son's communication.

This is afflicting...

but it's great.

This movie is getting more and more exciting.

No.

It’s too late.

Calm down, there must be a way.

Kento is going to die.

You will never forgive yourself if you don't act.

You said it, you are Laplace witch.

You can't lose again someone you care about.

"To be a Laplace demon..."

"It takes a certain disposition."

"It's like flying on the wings of the wind."

"Good ideas come out of it sometimes..."

"sometimes I have breakthroughs that way."

Riding the wind...

a breakthrough.

Before the downburst destroys the house...

I'll pierce a whole into it.

The wind will rush through the hole...

increasing the pressure inside the house...

Bring the car here.

We're late, hurry up.

Are you mad?

What movie?

Just for that...

you sacrificed Mom and Moe?

Of course.

It is heartbreaking...

but I had to do it.

Because of you.

You, as my Amakasu family, were a complete failure.

Wife and children deprived of talent.

I had to erase that failure and start afresh.

Now, I'll rebuild a family worthy of my genius.

To achieve this...

I had to erase you from this world first.

Re-write the memories...

use the blog to that end.

Rejoice...

because at least within that narration, you are a perfect family.

This will become a novel...

and then made into a movie.

And then...

the perfect Amakasu family will see the light.

That will be my perfect time.

Run away as far as possible.

Thank you.

Wait, I'm going with you.

Your distorted mind has created a perfect fantasy.

Once it is recorded and acknowledged by the public...

a narration becomes the truth.

Whomever lived without being acknowledged...

never existed in the first place.

That means...

That mean...

The majority of mankind...

disappears without leaving a record...

as if they were never born.

No impact on the world.

Pointless lives.

You were guilty of that too.

You should be happy now.

You said it will soon be over?

Oh no...

the curtain is only being lifted now.

On the masterpiece of my life.

I'm finally completing it.

You have a part in it...

as the perfect son.

Kento.

Don't come.

You know what is coming.

That's why I came.

Seek cover.

Are you alright?

Thank goodness, you're alive.

You had the car pierce a hole in the house...

So it wouldn't completely collapse.

You should have let me die.

No way...

I wouldn't let it happen.

This is the only purpose...

that kept me alive.

I'm sorry...

but from today you'll find other purposes.

Nothing will change my feeling.

You should understand.

What do I have left in this world?

You should understand.

It doesn't matter...

you will have to move on.

Kento.

Let me just talk to him.

Because I have this ability...

I see one thing:

The world needs genius for a part...

but it is not driven only by people like you.

People are like atoms...

they don't seem special individually.

But people with no apparent value are precious components.

Even if their life is considered mediocre...

when they move together...

they set laws of physics in motion, that transform...

this world.

Each individual has a value.

Each is unique.

Mom and Moe...

Mizuki and Nasuno as well.

Even you are valuable.

But even aware of that...

I tried to...

I used you.

I am sorry about that.

Don't get me wrong.

I used you.

Amazing.

First time I see it.

Where's Kento?

Mizuki Yoshiro, Nasuno Goro...

were both poisoned by gas...

but the Higher National Court...

ruled it as a natural accident, case closed.

The news reported that Amakasu had been rescued from the ruins.

But about Kento...

and his amazing ability, needless to say...

nothing was ever mentioned.

Thus...

The crimes Amakasu perpetrated eight years ago...

were buried together in the past.

But Kento vanished...

without leaving the slightest trace.

Why and where did he disappear?

The investigation is over, you must be relieved.

I wasn't of much help.

But here we could use your help..

Student's essays are piling up, if you don't mind.

Last night, the director of "The Clock of the Ruins"...

Amakasu Saisei, passed away.

He had been fighting against a disease for years...

it seems he finally took his own life.

What a pity.

I really liked the films of that director.

I wanted to see you one last time...

to thank you for everything.

Did Kento contact you since?

No.

Kento

I don't think he will even try to contact me.

He probably hates me.

Why?

You saved his life.

And he received his ability from you.

Such abilities...

are brought about with a drive and a purpose.

Even hatred can be that drive.

In a sense...

I am grateful to that man named Amakasu.

He motivated Kento's ability of such extent.

Without him he wouldn't have found that strength.

That's how I see it...

but I don't think Kento would see it that way.

I see.

You believe he can read what's in your heart?

Perhaps, as well as the future of our society...

of human kind...

he can also read them somehow.

Can they see that far...

these two?

As for us...

precisely because we can't see the future...

we have dreams.

And to serve these...

we sometimes snatch people's lives away.

I am as guilty as Amakasu.

That's where we part.

I take back what I said...

that your ability was a curse.

Because, thanks to it Kento's life was spared.

I'm sure you can use it correctly.

Thank you.

Actually, you can probably see...

what future lies ahead of this world.

Possibly...

Kento disappeared because...

Suppose...

we can see the future...

would you like to know?

I'll pass.
