UmiriYūtenji-san... you were here.
NyamuAre you acting as Muuko? That's like her. How perfect! Disgusts me to the core.
UmiriActing?
MortisIt doesn't have to be CRYCHIC. As long as I can be in a band with you, that's enough...
MortisIt doesn't have to be CRYCHIC. As long as I can be in a band with you, that's enough!
MortisIt doesn't have to be CRYCHIC... As long as I can be in a band with you... that's enough...?
MortisHuh? Which one is it?
Sakiko...!? No way... are you Mortis?
SakikoMutsumi... What happened to Mutsumi? Mortis, where's Mutsumi?
MortisIt's not my fault! She fell off by herself!
NyamuWhat do you mean?
MortisI swear... it wasn't on purpose... Ugh... Waaahhh~~~
SoyoIt's okay, don't cry.
Mortis
SoyoLet's go together. It's okay. Let's go home.
AnonHow about you, Rāna-chan?
RānaI'll leave after I eat.
TomoriMutsumi-chan.
TakiWhy aren't you coming?
UmiriI still have an important conversation to—
TakiThat's enough.
UmiriWait! What is it? Don't pull me! I need to be there to be trustworthy...!
TakiThis is the right way for sure.
Umiri...
NyamuSo what are you going to do? Are you reuniting Mujica or not?
Sakiko...
UikaSaki-chan, let's reunite Ave Mujica! Let's stay together forever.
Sakiko...!
Uika! Sorry...
SakikoI'm leaving...
UikaSaki-chan! My words were too selfish... I'm sorry...
Sakiko...
UikaSaki-chan...
Nyamu...
Nyamu(Ever since that day, it's been seared into my mind and won't leave...)
Nyamu(I'm scared of being overwhelmed by her acting, but I can't look away. I really hate her...)
Nyamu(And I really love her.)
UikaI'm a fool... Saki-chan...
UikaAt this rate, Tomori-chan will take her away...
UikaI don't want to be separated... I don't want to let her go...
SakikoMortis. What do you mean by "Mutsumi fell"? Please explain.
MortisSakiko-chan...
MortisI... I didn't do it on purpose. I just... just... wanted to protect Mutsumi-chan...!
MortisNo matter how hard I tried, even if I said it's for Mutsumi-chan! Mutsumi-chan didn't even look at me...
SakikoMutsumi... What happened to Mutsumi?
Mortis
Sakiko!
MortisSo! I thought I could become "Mutsumi Wakaba"... But, I couldn't...
MortisMutsumi-chan... I'm sorry...!
Sakiko...
SakikoSo... Mutsumi has truly gone...
SakikoUgh...! *Sniff*...!
Mortis
MortisZzz... zzz...
SakikoThis is my sin... I must bear it...
Mortis...
MortisI am also guilty.
Sakiko(For my own desires, I altered not only Mutsumi's fate but also Mortis's...)
Sakiko(In a world without Mutsumi, what can I do...)
NyamuThat lame performance... that wasn't a monster.
MortisIt doesn't have to be CRYCHIC. As long as I can be in a band with you, that's enough...
Nyamu...! My name "Nyamu" means young wheat! Wheat only grows stronger after bein' trampled on!
NyamuI ain't going to run away from you!
Uika...
NyamuIs this about Sakiko? Let me see.
Uika
UikaEh...
NyamuOops, I sent it~
UikaAh... ah...
UikaAs I paint the twisted sky, I think I wish you, without wings, just fall I touched something sacred Tonight, become my myth Look, you can't escape I confine you as you weaken you know i want.., i want.., i want.., i want you so.., i want.., I wish you weren't here, but why... you know.., you know.., you know.., you know.., I want you to know how much i need you so, right now, madly so I knew, but for now, I secretly Spend this strange time just with you With these cold hands, I bury what I should love Please accept me as I am On the perilous walls of my heart, sneaks an unreasonable dream I say, You're mine.., you're mine.., Look, you're so close, yet still Unfulfilled, and yet I want.., I want.., I want you so.., I want.., I don't need any memories, so.. you know.., you know.., you know.., so, you know.., I want you to know how much I need you so, Right now, madly so
Ave Mujica
NyamuLet's go to Sakiko's home. It's the lyrics, right? Let's ask Sakiko to write a song for it.
UikaEh... B-But...! There's...!
NyamuYou know her home?
Uika!
NyamuDon't you want to revive Mujica?
Uika...
Togawa's Home - Gate
NyamuHuh~ It's here!? She's got a whole mountain!
UikaSorry... you're on your own from here on out...
NyamuWhat are you saying? After coming this far.
UikaHey, let go... Nyamu-chan!
NyamuExcuse me. My name is Nyamu Yūtenji and I'm in a band with Sakiko-san.
NyamuI'm here to talk with Sakiko-san.
HousekeeperPlease come in.
NyamuExcuse me.
UikaNyamu-chan, I'm...!
NyamuUiko, you are in Mujica too.
Uika...!
Sakiko...
NyamuWow, are you using this room all by yourself?
NyamuHonestly, with this, people are going to call it a rich girl's band-playing hobby~
SakikoWhat are you here for?
NyamuI'll have you reunite Ave Mujica.
SakikoYou're still trying to do that...
NyamuYou mean you won't?
SakikoYes. Now that Mutsumi has gone, there's no more band.
Uika...
NyamuDid you read it? Uiko's lyrics. That's all about you.
Sakiko...
NyamuIt's not only Uiko. Muuko, Mortis, and Umiko too. We've all given our lives to you. Don't you get it?
SakikoI don't know.
NyamuHmm... You said we were going to make our debut as fast as possible. That was to bind us within the existence of Ave Mujica, right?
NyamuThere's no way you're not aware of it.
Sakiko...
Nyamu"Give me the rest of your life." Isn't that your desire and the reason to be in a band?
NyamuClearly, the forced soulmate plan was a great success!
SakikoForced soulmate...?
NyamuI thought it meant something like accomplices, birds of a feather, or no cozy relationships.
NyamuBut not at all. In fact, it's the opposite. That's how it is for Muuko.
Sakiko...
NyamuWe are all captivated by Ave Mujica. Happy to have your wish come true?
SakikoI don't intend to continue with Ave Mujica.
NyamuAre you going to abandon everything and run away? I won't tolerate that.
Sakiko
Nyamu
Sakiko...!
Uika...
Uika、Sakiko...
UikaPlease don't hate me.
Sakiko...
NyamuDid you say what you wanted to say?
UikaYes...
NyamuWell, that's good.
Sadaharu...
