Hasumi!

Get on.

It's all right.

Don't be shy.

Where's your bike?

It's amazing how women can ostracize someone like that.

It's because she's so popular with guys.

Are you a Kuno fan, too?

No.

Bullshit! You must notice her.

She sits right in front of you.

So who sits in front of you?

Tsuda.

Does that mean you like her?

Yes, I do!

Are you going out with her?

I saw you guys walking together.

I just ran into her at the station.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Tsuda?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

You're sure?

Hello?

It's Hasumi.

What?

Sasaki wants to see you.

What?

He'll wait for you on the roof tomorrow.

What does he want?

Go and find out.

I got it.

Bye.

Hello?

Hello...well...

Is this from Hoshino?

I said "Sasaki."

So it's not that?

What "that"?

Is Sasaki a customer?

Because I need to know what panties I should wear.

It's Sasaki Kentaro we're talking about...

So it isn't work?

No.

Oh, god!

Lately whenever I think of men, I think of "customer."

Maybe this will be more fun.

You think so? Why?

Go and see.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

Hello?

He's waiting in there.

The shed on the right.

Oh, my heart's breaking!

Am I a bad girl?

Miss Kuno!

Find her!

Kuno! Come out here!

There she is!

Grab her!

Hold her!

You idiot!

Find her!

Come out!

She's over here!

Come on!

Do you know this place?

This factory was Hoshino's family business.

It went bust and his family broke up.

That'd screw up even a good little boy like him.

Right?

Quiet down!

Hold her!

Hurry up and do it!

Be good.

What are you doing?!

Cut it out!

Hold her!

It's OK, Miss Kuno.

I won't do anything to you.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Jesus...!

Long ago people believed

the Ether filled the universe

as a medium for

the propagation of light.

From: Bear

But the Ether Lily talks about

is a catalyst for emotion.

Philia's the one

who knows best about that.

From: Pascal

Thank you very much

for all you've taught me.

From: Winter

Speaking of Philia

I wonder where he is lately?

From: Sleepy Head

Look at this!

Where'd you get that?

He was sleeping soundly, so...

Don't tell anyone.

I'm starving!

Menu, please.

All right.

Excuse me...

What? I'm eating too much?

Who cares?

What did Sasaki say?

He likes me and wants to go out with me.

Good for you.

I said, "No."

Why?

I'm not good enough for him.

Sure you are!

No, I'm not.

He says he likes girls with positive attitudes.

Excuse me...

"The Grande", please.

I'm not positive.

Sure you are...

I forgot all things "positive" and "negative."

"Hey, Sasaki, what's your blood-type?"

"Type A"? Wow! That means you're high-strung but cheerful, huh?"

I can't talk like that anymore.

Why did you turn him down?

He'd look out for you!

He'd fight Hoshino for you!

He'd be there for you!

He was your chance to get out!

You look out for me.

That sounded so cool.

You're so passionate.

But, you like Kuno, don't you?

It's obvious!

You're blushing!

I'm not.

Do you think he'd let me go if I got fat?

Or got a Mohawk?

Shit...

Good morning.

This, too.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

What's this?

Lily Chou-Chou.

We're here.

What?

Is this her latest?

That's last year's.

Her latest is "Breathe."

I'd love to hear it!

It's great.

Can I borrow it?

Let me borrow it, stingy!

Her first album's great.

"Jewel."

Is this the new one?

It's two years old.

"Jewel."

What about the new one?

I don't have it.

Liar!

Stingy.

She'll be all right!

Kuno!

She's tough.

I wanted to die

many times.

But I couldn't.

Falling! Falling! Falling!

Like an endless loop...

I keep on falling.

Somebody!

Help me!

Somebody!

Get me out of here!

From: philia

Dear Philia,

I know you're feeling

the invisible Ether

deeper than anybody.

From: blue cat

I don't understand.

I just don't understand.

From: philia

I understand.

Because...

I know

the pain you feel.

From: blue cat

I take a deep breath.

"Breathe!"

And then I understand it all.

Everything Lily means.

From: blue cat

"Breathe!"

I'll try to say it loud.

"Breathe!"

From: philia

I'm alive! I'm alive!

Within the pure Ether!

We're alive!

From: blue cat

"Breathe"! "Breathe"! "Breathe"!

From: philia

"Sympathy"! "Sympathy"! "Sympathy"!

From: blue cat

"Arabesque"!

"Wounds that Heal"!

"Glide"!

"Experiment in Love"!

"Hearts in September Rain"!

"Airship"!

"Abyss of Loneliness"!

"Music Box"!

"Erotic"!

"Wings That Can't Fly"!

From: philia

From: blue cat

We've got to get our hands around Hoshino's neck.

It was all his idea in the first place.

You told us to do it!

I said to threaten her, asshole!

Who told you to rape her?

No one. I never heard it.

It was all Hoshino's idea.

Right. That's right.

He's got to pay for it.

But, now can these guys do anything?

One, two...

...three, four, five.

Five of you should be able to kill Hoshino.

Excuse me...

What?

It'd be good if we can be quiet now.

If this goes much further, we could all get arrested.

Maybe.

But Kuno showing up as a skinhead was hilarious!

That blew Hoshino's mind!

How can you laugh after someone just died?

Now, I'm flying in the sky.

I'm flying, flying!

From: blue cat

What are you doing?

Flying kites.

Want to try?

Hold your arms out...

and pull down hard.

It's falling!

I'm sorry!

Dear blue cat,

I'm glad I met you.

From: philia

I want to ride on a kite!

That'd be scary!

I wanna fly in the sky.

Miss! He just threw up!

Shit!

Are you all right?

Somebody bring a towel.

Everything's so loud.

I have a strange noise in my head.

What sort of noise?

I don't know.

What's it sound like?

It might not be a noise.

It's not a noise.

Then what is it?

I don't know.

Miss...

Yes?

Pocket...

What happened to it?

Hoshino broke it.

On December 8,

Lily's playing live!

The Princess of the Ether lands in Yoyogi!

From: Pascal

I'm bringing my teddy-bear!

Look for me!

From: Bear

I like "Tree of Silence."

"Erotic."

It allows me to feel her pain.

Which song do you like the best?

The best?

Maybe "Glide."

I like them all, but for me

"Abnormality" is the best one.

From Philia?!

Abnormality!

How could you?

There're Lily fans from before, and fans from when she went solo.

You like the solo stuff?

I don't know much about Philia and I don't like Kamakatsu.

That's too bad.

Philia's great!

Have you heard them?

Sure!

Weren't they great?

I don't know.

All she did was sing.

You don't know?

She wrote all the lyrics!

They were ghost-written.

That's what some people say.

But I don't believe it. It can't be true.

Here, listen to this!

You know it?!

Sure. "Manic & Depressive."

So? Well?

It's not bad.

What are you talking about?! It's fantastic!!

But Philia was Kamakatsu's band. It's not Lily. There's no Ether in there.

You're ignoring me.

Don't ignore me!

They don't publicize it, but Kamakatsu's still backing her up.

That's bullshit!

It's true!

Lily's releases are timed, so they don't conflict with Yellow Fellows.

Kamakatsu does more than just Yellow Fellows.

Yeah, but...

You're a pain in the ass!

Poser!

Who's a poser?!

Hey, sorry! Sorry!

Fuck off!

You'll pollute the Ether!

He started it.

You're disturbing other people.

Wait!

Could you come with me?

First of all...

Tell it to me later.

Where's your seat? Show me your ticket.

This is a better seat!

Trade with me.

OK?

OK?

I'm thirsty. Go buy me a Coke.

Take that.

Just a moment!

If someone talks to you, give them that, ok?

Dear Philia,

let's meet at the concert.

You'll know me by

a green apple.

From: blue cat

What'll you have?

A Coke, please.

150 yen, please.

Thank you.

What's this?

What the hell's going on here?

Oh, my god!

Tickets! Who wants Lily tickets?

We want some.

Sold out, kid.

Thank you for coming tonight...

Are you still here?

Did anyone talk to you?

See ya...

It's Lily! Lily's here!

It's Lily!

Where?!

She's waving! It's Lily!

Ow! Watch it!

Someone's down!

Call an ambulance!

That day...

one soul was lost,

and one boy died.

Who killed the boy?

Who soiled the Ether?

A helpless soul...

now screams without a voice.

From: Dream Child

I was at that concert.

Have they caught the guy yet?

From: Amica

Because of that incident,

Lily's being tagged "ill-fated."

I hate how she's being...

raped by the press.

From: Bear

That's good. The color took.

The school won't let you dye it too light.

Oh, honey. Why are you crying?

15 years old.

You're not together at 366.

Watch your breathing there.

If you try too hard in your first year, you can stumble in your second and third.

You work just as hard, but the results don't seem to come.

And when they don't, you lose your drive.

Soon you'll have to focus on your high-school entrance exams,

but you try to have a fun while you still can.

So, your marks fall off.

And the worse they get, the less you want to study.

So you give up.

That's how it happened to you?

In your case,

haven't just "fallen off", its not like valley.

it's not like a smooth descent,

it's a crash landing.

Can't you concentrate?

Is something bothering you?

No.

No?

That's it, then.

All I can do is say, "Try harder."

So...try harder.

Do it!

Do it now.

All right?

How's the noise?

The strange noise.

Is it gone now?

Will you tell Miss Kuno it's time to go home?

The Ether fills the universe.

Despair is red Ether.

Hope is blue.

Through eternity and silence...

flies a while glider.

From: SHINOBU

As strong light casts a dark shadow,

so does the powerful Ether.

From: Multipolar

Because I'm alive, I found Lily.

"Thank you."

Today I've been given the happy Ether.

From: HINAKO

I hate everyone.

But I like it here.

From: moto

How wonderful will be,

the end of all things,

as my body rots, and I am destroyed.

From: Lemon

Black tears.

Blue smiles.

I am transparent.

A world without color.

From: liu-hua

Uninjured, I hurt.

Hurt, I feel no pain.

I want to see the beautiful blue sky.

From: Noah

When I'm here,

my brain starts to laugh.

You say I don't understand this.

I say people all die...

searching for a place to belong.

From: OGAWA MIFUNE

Lily is very mysterious.

But she's also a living human being.

She needs a certain number of sales

to make a living,

otherwise she can't keep on going.

From: dodon

Lily's not there to heal you!

Don't make her out to be what she isn't.

From: Blue Flower

For the cancer-ridden city hordes

who are poisoned by exhaust,

Lily bravely keeps singing.

From: Guten-B

The wound that does not heal.

The wound that may heal.

The wound that should have healed.

It grows wider, wider.

What if the whole body

became one big wound?

We can still revive

that is "The wound that heals."

From: liu-hua

The great wound of the heart is

the Existence.

I listen to "The wound that heals."

Existence will heal you

from the past to the future.

From: SHINOBU

People can't fly.

From: Frog

Maybe I'm writing this

because I want to scream out,

"I'm here!"

From: Palstela
