"This is an actual photograph of the celestial being." "This celestial being's name is Ceres... and this is her "host," Aya Mikage, age 16." "Physical transformation takes place when Ceres reveals herself." "At these times, she is able to use her supernatural powers." "A similar legend called... the "Swan Maiden," is widely known throughout Europe." "With the exception of Africa and Polynesia... variations of this legend are known around the world." "The legend is particularly widespread... throughout Europe, Asia, Indonesia, and Micronesia." "In Japan alone, there are over 50 variations of this legend." "One of these has its roots in our very own Mikage family." "It's possible that such legendary beings actually exist... and are perpetuating the legend in Japan and around the world." "An angel was raped by a human of the ancient past and bore his children." "These children were born with special powers..." "They have integrated into human culture." "So the man who captured and raped the so-called "celestial maiden"... can be thought of as mankind's hero!" ""The Chosen One" has reemerged." "He is another Mikage." "All we need is the Chosen One." "The Mikage family shall be the center of our attention." "Starting with Japan, we are to find all the humans with the celestial DNA... those we shall call C-Genomes." "Time has come for us to be blessed by the angel." "Each one of you here were chosen to... partake in the creation of this new legend!" "A new celestial legend?" "So that's what "C Project" is..." "What are you thinking?" "Nothing that concerns you." "I think you'd better worry about yourself." "You're an integral part of this project." "You're falling in love with Aya, aren't you?" "I've never seen you like this." "You've learned to "love," have you?" "Anyway..." "Aki and Aya both trust you." "You'll continue to watch over Aya." "Toya!" "Toya!" "Pick a Memory Data!" "We have about a hundred to choose from!" ""Memory Data"?" "I'm giving you "memories." It'll help you stay close to Aya." "I'VE OVERSLEPT!" "It's my first day at my new school, and I've overslept!" "Huh?" "How could you oversleep, too?" "!" "'Cuz you kept your light on all night!" "You could've turned it off!" "You're the one who said you'd kill me... if I ever entered your room in the middle of the night!" "Cool it, you two." "Mrs Q!" "Left!" "Turn left there!" "Y-Yes!" "Hey!" "What's going on, Aya?" "What's wrong?" "Are you all right?" "No, Aya!" "Don't move her!" "It's Yuki from school." "Yuhi!" "We gotta get her to a hospital!" "No..." "Hang in there." "We're getting you a car." "No!" "I need to..." "I need to go to school..." "I'll... be fine." "Hey!" "She's not "fine" at all." "How did you know she was there?" "I had a vision." "Ever since Ceres began appearing..." "I guess it's what you call telepathy." "Cheer up." "If you keep staying up every night with that "Angel" book... you're the one who's going to collapse." "Yuhi." "Take it easy." "I'm here for you." "No matter what happens, I'll be around to protect you." "Yuhi..." "Classes are starting, you two." "T-T-Toya?" "!" "What are YOU doing here?" "Don't yell." "You're disturbing the patient." " B-But..." " What's going on here?" "Doctor, what's he doing here?" "Dr. Yoshihara's been transferred so I've hired him to help us out." " Hello." " Yikes." "DON'T BELIEVE HIM!" "He came to capture the angel!" "He works for the devil!" "What?" "Don't believe this guy." "He'll only bring trouble to this school." "Come with me." " What's going on?" " It's artificial." "Kagami gave someone else's memories." "Artificial..." "I don't have memories of my own, so I can be anyone I choose..." "I didn't know that was possible." "Well, see you." "Is it because you have to stay near me?" "I don't care if you're just following orders." "I just wanted to see you." "Aya, I have an answer for you." "Don't expect anything of me." "All I want is the celestial being." "Toya." "All you want is the celestial being?" "I mean nothing to you?" "!" "Go back to class with Yuhi." "Toya!" "Just worry about saving Aki." "Huh?" "Before it's too late." "Besides, there's someone better suited for you, isn't there?" "I'm telling you, he's not a doctor!" "Keep your voice down!" "You're going to wake her up!" "What're you saying?" "Did you hear?" "Doctor Tadokoro burned to death in the health center!" "But there was nothing that would start a fire in there." "Then how did she burn to death?" "Spontaneous human combustion?" "How creepy!" "I heard Yuhi saw the whole thing!" "No wonder they're questioning him." "Poor guy." " Doctor..." " Hm?" "I thought I told you to stay home today." "I know... but I wanted to see you." "I really wanted to see you." "Yuki." "Oh my gosh!" "I can't believe what I just saw!" "What am I doing here?" "I guess I better discreetly... get outta here." "Aya." "W-What a coincidence!" "Oh, no!" "They suspect you?" "!" "And...?" "Did you really do it?" "I was just kidding!" "Oh, jeez..." "Hey, Yuhi." "Huh?" "I'm sorry." "Did I wake you?" "No..." "Do you know about Yuki?" "I don't really know her." "She's very quiet..." "She misses school a lot." "I guess she's not very healthy." "But it seems like she's in school a lot more now." "Why?" "Oh..." "It's nothing." "Good night." "How cute!" "You made this?" "I love making things." "And this is for me?" "And..." "About Dr. Hayama and me..." "Please don't tell anyone." "Are you giving me this to keep my mouth shut?" "Do I look like a blabbermouth to you?" "I'm sorry." "That's not what I..." "It's okay." "I guess I do." "Just for having doubts about me... you have to have lunch with me again tomorrow..." "Okay?" "Sure!" "I'll see you tomorrow." "Good!" "I'll cherish this forever." " Doctor..." " Yuki!" "W-What's come over you?" "Doctor?" "We can't see each other any more." "Why not?" "I told you before." "If the school should find out..." "If anyone finds out about us... then we can never see each other again." "Who...?" "Who said anything about us...?" "Aya..." "Aya Mikage!" "Ceres...?" "Oh, no..." "Ceres is trying to come out..." "Why...?" "Aya!" "Oh, no!" "I'm trapped." "If I" "If I let Ceres come out" "No!" "I have to hang on... hang on..." "Aya..." "Aya..." "Toya?" "Is that Toya?" "Aya." "Toya." "You've suffered minor smoke inhalation." "You'll be fine." "Why?" "Why are you helping me?" "I thought you were only after Ceres." "That's true but..." "What...?" "Next thing I knew, I was looking for you." "I couldn't help myself." "If this is what you call "love", then so be it." "But first I must find out who I am." "Otherwise, we'll only end up hurting each other." "Toya!" "Yuhi..." "Get out of here." "Aya..." "You're not the only one." "Those who possess the celestial DNA are called "C-Genomes."" ""C-Genome"?" "The Mikage family is attempting to find..." "C-Genomes with what's called the "C Project."" " That's why Aki..." " Aki, too?" "He's the "Chosen One"..." "the one who will lead the C-Genomes." "That's all I know." "I can only be by your side as an enemy." "But I will make you one promise." "I will protect Aki." " Toya!" " Aya!" "Are you all right, Aya?" "Uh-huh." "About that C-Genome..." "Maybe..." "There you are..." "AYA!" "Aya!" "No." "Yuhi." "YUHI!" "Aya..." "If you had let me out sooner... none of this would have happened." "You took advantage of Yuki's powers." "You injured Yuhi." "You will pay for this." "Oh, really?" "So that's why you came back so soon." "How could Yuki suddenly have so much power?" "We extracted a trace of a mysterious substance from Ceres' DNA." "We gave doses of it to C-Genomes such as Yuki." "That's all." "She happened to have the power of fire." "She "happened to"?" "And you think someone like that has the power to fight Ceres?" "Of course not." "What?" "Can't you see... that your effort is futile?" "Yuki!" "Burn her!" "Hurry!" "Now!" "Stop it." "You shall not use any more energy." "Your body won't be able to take any more." "If you exert yourself any more, you will die." "Don't listen to her!" "She's a monster who's trying to tear us apart!" "Why you...!" "Stop!" "Ah!" "Stop!" "Please!" "Don't..." "Don't kill him!" "Doctor!" "Are you all right?" "What're you waiting for, bitch?" "!" "Hurry up and kill her!" "I've loved you... ever since the moment I first saw you." "C'mon!" "Kill her NOW!" "Doctor." "Don't worry, Doctor." "No one will ever try to tear us apart again." "Let's go where we can be alone." "When bad things happen, just close your eyes for a little while." "When you open your eyes again, it's over." "Next time you open your eyes..." "You'll see." "Yuki." "Ow!" "My whole body hurts!" "Yuhi..." "YUHI!" "We failed with Yuki Urakawa." "So that's it?" "Toya..." "I can't release you from the company." "I want you to stop playing your silly little love game with Aya." "Stop!" "What are you...?" "I love you." "Toya, I'm sorry."
