"Hello!" "Mimi!" "How are you?" "Got it!" "What a mysterious melody..." "I haven't been able to hear it again..." "Good evening!" "Good evening." "Thanks for watching over me." "'kay?" "Mom?" "You're home early today!" "Oh." "Forgot to turn off the light." "I'm home." "Where did you get in from?" "Mimi!" "Let's give thanks..." "That sure was a mysterious song." "I wonder if I'll be able to hear it again?" "Mimi." "A light?" "Maybe it was my imagination..." "Miss Yuu Yazaki." "Keep up the good work." "I will!" "Miss Asuna Watase." "Coming." "Asuna has the best score in the class once more." "Asuna's first again?" "haven't you?" "That's our class-rep for ya!" "She's a studyin' machine!" "there's a warning I need to give you." "Lately there have been reports from a number of students" "Please go home with a friend that lives near you." "It was near the railroad bridge..." "My brother said he saw it." "ma'am!" "Asuna!" "Want to walk home together?" "I have to hurry back." "though." "Sure..." "Maybe another time?" "please." "as always." "are you all right with that?" "thank you!" "What a lovely weather..." "I can't hear the birds..." "W-What in the world..." "Stay away!" "Stand back." "It'll be okay." "Um..." "Its life is coming to an end." "No!" "I'm sorry for putting you in such a scary situation." "you see." "wait a sec..." "Trust me." "I'm sure I came here to meet you." "I see." "Yeah... so you can return home safely now." "right?" "Thank you!" "It'd be best for you not to come near this mountain any longer." "Mimi?" "I know what I saw!" "There were definitely people there." "about this tall..." "Kids?" "Commander!" "Over here." "Miss Watase?" "Is Asuna absent?" "I do hope she's feeling all right... but that bear appeared yesterday on the Obuchi Bridge." "right?" "I heard the police are investingatin'." "But I Heard it's already dead." "If you'll pardon the interruption... so take extra-special care." "ma'am!" "will you tell Asuna for me?" "Sure." "the substitute teacher that'll be filling in for me while I'm on maternity leave will be coming tomorrow." "Is she pretty?" "but it's a man." "A guy?" "I'm definitely going." "I heard..." "How frightful... they did... there's only one every two hours!" "Asuna!" "Hello." "yes?" "Yes..." "Well..." "Mr. Sato..." "Howdy." "did you hear?" "They say that bear showed up on the Obuchi Bridge!" "It's here!" "Look at this..." "Tree saplings..." "From the power of vita-aqua?" "It's crystallizing..." "Perhaps someone has come up to the surface." "Search the area!" "I figured she would come." "Even though I warned her." "Yeah... too." "I thought I told you it would be better not to come." "But..." "Mimi!" "you traitor..." "You were only supposed to get along with me!" "You no-good two-timer..." "This... was my place to begin with." "I don't want anyone telling me not to come here." "I'm the same way." "I came here because I wanted to." "I'm Shun." "It's nice to meet you." "I'm..." "Asuna." "Your arm!" "It's bleeding..." "Is this from yesterday?" "it's fine." "But it's my fault that you..." "You should get it looked at in the hospital later." "My mom works there." "It looks like you have everything you could need here." "Yeah." "But it's the first time this has ever come in handy." "so I brought things up piece by piece." "You know?" "And this is the best place for the tuning into the radio." "Radio?" "all finished!" "Thank you." "Would you like to listen?" "I use this crystal instead of a diode." "you can get different signals." "that stone..." "Got it!" "Here." "see?" "Yeah..." "Want some?" "I was hungry." "I tuned in to a really mysterious melody..." "It was a song different from any music I'd ever known before." "Almost like it was the sound of someone's heart itself. and I was able to feel like I was no longer alone... always..." "I wish I could hear it once again." "Shun...?" "Asuna?" "I'm sure you must have many questions." "Like what that bear-thing was?" "Right." "Yeah..." "But I'm okay for now." "There's so much to ask... so I'll come back here tomorrow." "I came from a different land named Agartha." "Agartha..." "A foreign country?" "Yeah." "and someone I had to meet." "But now I've accomplished everything I wanted." "I have no regrets." "So your wish came true?" "Yeah..." "You should go home before it gets dark." "Right..." "I'll go home after the cicadas stop chirping." "Asuna..." "I'll give you a blessing." "Close your eyes." "Okay..." "W-Was that just a... k-k-k-kiss?" "Asuna." "All I wish is for you to live." "That's all I want... uh... see you tomorrow!" "then." "what a shock..." "Shun... it was her that heard my final song... right?" "lead Asuna to a better place in my stead." "the fear is almost unbearable... there's just as powerful happiness." "It's like my hand can almost reach them..." "Asuna." "Welcome home!" "You must be tired from the night shift." "two lunches today?" "one's for a friend!" "right?" "Yeah." "Maybe we could eat it together?" "right?" "I'm still kind of hungry." "No." "You have to make sure you're not late to school." "why don't we go out to dinner somewhere tonight?" "you see." "Really?" "Then I'll be home before six!" "Six?" "right?" "Where are you going?" "To a friend's place!" "See you later!" "what happened to your scarf?" "I lost it." "I'll buy another at the school store!" "Have a nice day!" "huh?" "Are you sure about that?" "yes..." "I'll ask tomorrow." "And I told him I'd come today..." "Maybe it's because of the rain?" "I'm home." "Mom... can you get me a towel?" "look at you.. you're sopping wet!" "You didn't bring an umbrella?" "I can dry myself!" "Mom?" "What is it?" "The body of a boy with your scarf wrapped around his arm was found in the Shimonofuchi riverbed." "Asuna..." "That boy died." "That's got to be someone else... it's not like he fell or anything." "Asuna... don't worry." "let's do dinner some other time." "I need to do my homework." "Asuna... okay?" "Shun!" "Shun!" "Dad's not coming back anymore?" "Mom?" "yes... after all." "Even so..." "I... his wife died. back from the dead. and she said this:" "I have already become a resident of the land of the dead." "I can return home with you." "there is one condition." "you must not look at my body." "But Izanagi broke that promise." "He opened the gate to Yomi." "And therefore Izanagi's wife can no longer return with him." "That is what is written in the first verse of the Kojiki Mythology." "Similar myths of people heading below the earth to resurrect people are found throughout the world.." "The land of Yomi." "Agartha... but they are all said to be worlds underneath the earth." "People once believed that under the earth held the secret to death itself." "and be mindful of cars on your way home." "How's Asuna?" "and..." "How do I describe her as a student?" "and a very good girl. and her mother seems to be very busy with her nursing work." "you know..." "Is that so?" "yes?" "aren't you going home?" "Yuu..." "I have something I'd like to ask Mr. Morisaki." "I don't really like him so much..." "Today's lesson was kinda scary..." "Scary?" "I heard a rumor that his wife died..." "Pardon me." "So?" "Seems like he went home already." "Later!" "See you tomorrow." "You're... but I had something I wanted to ask you." "Wait here just a moment." "Do you drink coffee?" "Yes!" "If you could put some milk in it..." "Thank you." "I'm sorry for barging in like this." "I asked Ms. Ikeda where you lived." "I live by myself." "Make yourself at home." "I've just arrived here..." "All I really have are books." "what is it?" "about class today... yes..." "You have someone you want to bring back from the dead?" "it was you who met the boy that came from Agartha..." "Look at this." "We call them "Quetzal Coatl"." "They are the gatekeepers that guard the entrances to Agartha." "And what do you think of this one?" "If looks similar to the one from before." "000-year-old statue of a god from Sumeria. guiding the path of the yet-young humanity." "Those are the Quetzal Coatl." "and the existence of gods was no longer necessary. hid themselves under the earth as gatekeepers." "Along with a number of different clans." "Clans?" "A small number of humans went with the Quetzal Coatl underneath the ground." "Agartha. and it is said to be a place where any kind of wish can be fulfilled." "Even resurrecting the dead!" "Is Agartha real?" "Who knows?" "Perhaps it is just a legend." "All I have been doing is researching all the different theories." "But.." "You should head home." "It's getting dark." "Thank you." "I'm not sure I was much help... you were..." "Um..." "I'm sure that Agartha really exists." "and don't stray from the path." "Mimi?" "wait..." "Mimi!" "I said!" "where are you?" "Shun!" "I knew it!" "Who are you?" "Did he make contact with a Topsider?" "Shun...?" "He's gone." "Just forget everything that's happened." "Arch Angel?" "I have to go!" "A boy from Agartha?" "Hand over the clavis." "Who are these people?" "Damn it!" "Don't hit them." "We'll let them lead us to it." "That jewel..." "This clavis?" "I came to the surface to get it back." "they can't get it." "Wait until morning and then go home." "The surface?" "So Agartha really is underground?" "You've even heard about that?" "Shun..." "Could you have lost your memories?" "Now see here..." "In there." "Damn it!" "They're coming in!" "how far are we..." "Hurry up and follow!" "They're coming after us!" "is this cave..." "I told you already!" "I'm not Shun!" "you know." "then who are you?" "Quiet." "You stay here." "What?" "The gatekeeper." "The gatekeepers once guided humans long ago. most of them have lost their senses..." "It'd be great if they remembered..." "Shun!" "Stay there!" "Are you okay?" "It's not over yet." "Take the clavis." "I don't want to kill the gatekeeper." "I have to put the gatekeeper to sleep!" "Shun!" "Shun!" "then this must be the entrance!" "Are you okay?" "Let's run..." "This is a Pakicetus..." "They were supposed to be extinct." "What is it?" "An ancient whale from 50 million years ago." "Kill it." "But we have to recover all the evidence... there won't be any complaints." "Do it." "Stop!" "Come here with that clavis!" "I'll kill the boy." "Don't do it." "I could just kill both of you." "Shun..." "I'll save you when I see a chance." "Right." "and don't stop halfway." "Watch over the boy here." "Is that the gate?" "Most likely." "like at the South Pole." "Touch the clavis to that light." "What's the matter?" "Do it." "The Interstitial Sea... it's within my grasp... men." "what are you..." "I'll be going alone from here." "Give the old men back at Europa my best wishes." "Don't move!" "Shun!" "What's the meaning of this?" "Mr. Morisaki?" "I have no reason to be you enemy." "All I want to do is go to Agartha." "Agartha is falling into ruin." "Nothing Arch Angel hopes to find is there." "I do not seek the secret to eternal life or the knowledge of the ancients." "All I want is to return my wife to the living." "I don't care." "My only mission was to retrieve the clavis." "What's your name?" "Asuna." "I'm Shin." "Shun's younger brother." "Shun is..." "My brother is dead. yet he broke the rules and went anyway." "I'm leaving now." "You can open the exit even without a clavis." "Asuna..." "Shin..." "I've put you in a scary situation." "why?" "Have you heard of the name Arch Angel?" "No..." "It's the only organization that recognizes the existence of Agartha." "It wants the knowledge of the underworld in order to lead humanity on the proper path." "and have been searching for the entrance to Agartha for ten years." "the people you were with..." "Arch Angel is actually just a group of empty-headed Gnostics." "I have no interest in such things." "My only goal is resurrecting my wife." "and search for a way." "Sorry for putting you in such danger." "I knew it..." "It's vita-aqua." "Mr. Morisaki!" "Mr. Morisaki..." "I'm coming too!" "Why?" "Do you want to bring that dead boy back to life?" "Well..." "I don't really know..." "But!" "and I don't know when we'll be able to return." "I understand." "Come." "This is an ancient fluid known as vita-aqua." "you should be able to breathe." "Agartha is below." "wait..." "It's okay." "You can breathe in the water." "This is to bring back someone precious..." "Asuna!" "We'll be able to meet her soon..." "Yes..." "I pray that this child's life will be a blessing... life is already full of happiness." "That's right..." "I need to be born soon." "Stars..." "Mimi..." "Are you awake?" "That little guy popped out of your bag." "You brought it with you?" "No..." "When did you..." "You might not have the luxury to take it with you the whole way." "With me?" "is this..." "It looks like we can get through those stairs on the other side." "Let's go." "Something is here." "Yes... a Quetzal Coatl." "It's looking at us." "I guess we'll have to take it straight on." "Mimi!" "come here." "Asuna!" "Mimi!" "let's go." "That might be more useful than I thought." "Agartha." "look!" "Shakuna Vimana!" "The ark on which rides God itself!" "It's just as the literature said..." "God..." "That's..." "A clavis?" "A fragment of one?" "But why do you have that?" "It's a crystal for a radio." "I was told it was a memento of my dad." "A memento?" "Clavis is Latin for "key"." "It may end up being of help to us later." "Take good care of it." "Right." "Let's head in the same direction as that ark." "Something should be there..." "Something we are looking for." "Here." "just as you thought!" "they're in ruins." "There might still be some vegetable fields." "I'll go check." "Mimi!" "Toward Finis Terra..." "The Gate of Life and Death... look!" "Looks like I've found tonight's dinner..." "See?" "so just in case..." "I'll remove the poison with water!" "your clothes... you know." "so please get changed." "yay!" "These are good." "Thank goodness there was still some salt left in the kitchen." "I'm surprised." "Is this journey fun for you?" "I... I felt like there was a far-off world I had to get to somewhere." "This is not where I belong." "There is a place I've never seen before... and chased him all the way here... my heart has been racing for some reason... something..." "Um..." "Not being able to see the stars at night makes me somewhat uneasy..." "It makes you realize just how solitary human existence is." "Shin Canaan Praeses." "we laud your service." "But you have made a grave error. making pace toward the Gate of Life and Death." "What?" "But I have the clavis right here..." "Theirs is a different fragment." "You stood there and foolishly allowed those Topsiders entrance into Agartha..." "This was a grave error." "But the task which I was given was only..." "Out with such excuses!" "Do not waste your breath." "Don't you understand?" "and we are living the long days of twilight." "the endpoint of life itself. throwing our peaceful existence into turmoil... be it even for a moment." "Such a pity." "your eyes are as of yet not open." "Unable to peer into the vision of the Quetzal Coatl..." "Unsuited to sense the breath of the clavis!" "Your brother had natural gifts." "and his yearning for the surface grew ever stronger." "I give you a new task." "Shin!" "Seri!" "Aren't you in the middle of a task?" "Just a short break isn't a problem." "about Shun..." "I know." "It's a shame." "I'm sure that Shun saw what he wanted to." "yes?" "Yes." "I have to find the Topsiders and confiscate their clavis." "But that's..." "It's not like I was told I had to kill them." "But if I have to... making you do such a dangerous task all by yourself!" "the people of the village raised us." "I have to repay that debt." "Eat." "Thank you very much..." "Maybe we should make some soup?" "Here." "What is it?" "You seem to be getting along all of a sudden." "we can use the cat for food." "I'm joking." "Mr. Morisaki..." "It's like you're my... dad." "Don't be silly." "How rare for you to get a fever." "I thought it was my job to fall ill all the time." "I'm sorry." "can you promise me something?" "What?" "promise me you'll keep on living a good life." "my next mission will be over soon." "let's go back to my country together." "then your illness will definitely get better..." "That's not what I asked." "Listen..." "All people pass on sometime." "or later." "And I'm just going a bit before you..." "There's no changing that." "Lisa..." "Don't say that." "and I am never going to leave your side." "I would never prepare for your absence..." "For certain... are you there?" "so I..." "Asuna..." "Did I say something?" "No..." "A rainbow." "They're heading toward the land where the Izoku dwell." "I must hurry!" "Got it!" "I see..." "Se the scenery that I would see while listening to the radio was part of Agartha..." "Asuna." "On a journey to know what it means to say goodbye." "don't cry." "You're all right." "Any luck?" "What should we do?" "What's wrong?" "They're gone." "I see the clavis!" "They can't go out from the shadows!" "Come here!" "come here!" "Climb!" "Climb!" "you can do it!" "Grab on!" "Asuna!" "Come!" "You're..." "Shin?" "Looks like you got it right this time." "This is a nest of Izoku." "They will devour you and your so-called defiled blood." "We're getting out of here!" "Shin!" "How did you know we were here?" "I chased after you into Agartha!" "thank you!" "What?" "I just wanted to see you again... just run!" "They're coming after you!" "I am running!" "they're coming!" "jump!" "Shin!" "Shin!" "You okay?" "Let's go!" "right?" "Yeah..." "You should hand it over to me." "Shin!" "Shin!" "I have to save him." "little guy!" "Asuna!" "Asuna!" "Asuna..." "A horse?" "He told you to give him the clavis?" "It doesn't seem like those things that snatched you off were planning to give you a nice welcome." "And what'll we do with her?" "What is it?" "Something's over there?" "Downstream?" "Shin!" "You're covered in sweat!" "Asuna?" "Shin!" "too?" "Thank goodness." "You're conscious... right..." "We were swept away..." "I'll get you water." "You!" "You're from Arch Angel!" "I know you have a clavis." "Leave it here and get out of Agartha!" "Why?" "How should I know?" "This is what I've been tasked with!" "Hand over the clavis!" "Let's go where she pointed." "There might be a village there." "I'm bringing him with us." "Do as you wish." "There are people here!" "The first living village." "but watch yourself." "Dear..." "It couldn't be..." "They're Topsiders." "Really?" "A bad omen..." "I hope everything's okay... stand back!" "It's the defiled child that was kidnapped the day before yesterday." "The one who can no longer speak after her mother passed away." "Halt!" "yes?" "She sure has grown." "Thank you for bringing our village's child back." "But you are Topsiders from the surface." "Our village of Amaurot cannot accept Topsiders." "Please turn back." "could you at least take a look at this person?" "Why is someone of Agartha with those from the surface?" "and he has a fever." "I cannot." "Begone!" "Wait!" "I'm so happy you've come back!" "forgive my village's rudeness." "eh?" "Old Master!" "Just for one eve..." "Must I suffer the dishonor of not even doing that much?" "This way." "Bringing you through the village would cause you to stand out too much." "His fever will break soon." "Although it will be a little while before he is able to move again." "so there is no need for worry." "Thank goodness." "This is all thanks to you... yes?" "Izoku?" "They hate both light and water..." "They're a cursed tribe." "But they are part of the structure that maintains this world in its current state." "That is why they hate it so when the two sides are mixed together." "Mixed together?" "that child..." "Manna's father is a Topsider." "Thighs such as that happen not oft." "Get out of our village!" "Get out!" "Miss..." "But the coming of Topsiders is not looked upon as a good omen to us." "Asuna." "kings and emperors from the surface came to steal the wealth and wisdom of Agartha for hundreds of years." "The kings needed Agartha's knowledge and treasure you see." "And what they brought in return were countless wars..." "We were more glorious than anywhere on the surface." "and our birth rate dwindled." "Now there are but a handful of villages that remain. locking them to prevent anyone from the surface from entering." "I'll show you to my archive." "miss?" "Yes." "This way." "Mimi..." "Manna..." "Elder?" "Would you cut up that big root for me?" "Sure." "You mean this?" "Yes..." "A daikon..." "Mimi!" "I've never seen a Yadoriko get along so well with a Topsider before." "Yadoriko?" "You mean a cat?" "Animals in which reside God's children. they become one with the Quetzal Coatl and live on for eternity." "God..." "Mimi?" "would you give Manna a bath before dinner is ready?" "A bath?" "!" "Baths are amazing... hold it!" "Mr. Morisaki..." "How do you like this outfit?" "I borrowed it from the Elder." "It doesn't suit you." "Don't cry while you eat." "But it's so delicious!" "I was wondering if you could answer my question from earlier." "It is forbidden to bring back the dead here in Agartha." "that means there is a way." "Life and death are just part of the flow of something much bigger." "Those humans who wish to interrupt that flow shall not be permitted." "Permitted?" "Why?" "Whose permission must I ask?" "even we on the surface know such platitudes." "What I want to know is where and how one can reunite with lost loved ones." "That's all." "but to continue to pity them is erroneous." "You should not have involved a girl of such youth in your own delusional fallacy." "Asuna came here of her own free will!" "Um!" "I... 000 years!" "but can you look after the boy?" "Go." "Okay." "Those clothes don't suit you at all." "That's not a nice thing to say!" "Why did you do that?" "Why did you save me?" "too." "I was just forced to clean up after my brother." "Shun?" "Shin!" "Don't force yourself..." "You can't stay here." "Damn it... then taken your clavis." "I should have killed those Arch Angels on the surface." "Leave." "Shin?" "I said leave!" "We'll leave early tomorrow." "Get right to sleep." "I'm sorry." "I can't shelter Topsiders for long." "I've said what I could to him." "sleep together with Manna." "Mimi." "Brother..." "Everyone set out on their journey as a heartfelt cry for help." "If only somebody had been able to stop them..." "Our time together made me feel like my daughter had returned to me." "Elder... take care!" "The boat should get you across the lake in two days and one night." "you will be near the place you seek." "You have my thanks for all that you've done." "Asuna." "come here." "we're going..." "Mimi?" "I think the little one has fulfilled its duty." "see." "But..." "I thought we'd always be together!" "Mimi!" "Mimi!" "you just have to accept it." "please..." "Mimi!" "wait!" "I still..." "Mimi!" "take care of Mimi!" "okay?" "Farewell..." "Mr. Morisaki..." "Do you remember what you said in class?" "About the myth of Izanagi and Izanami?" "Yes... so I read the rest in the library." "rotten visage of his wife." "is it right to bring back someone from the dead?" "We're close to the end of our journey." "You must decide yourself what you seek at the Gate of Life and Death." "A light?" "People?" "No." "Izoku!" "they shouldn't be able to reach us here." "and it is time for it to pass on to the next." "Cry for it all you can." "as well..." "What's that?" "It will be here soon." "too... it becomes part of an even larger life..." "I wonder if Asuna thinks of it that way?" "Even though something precious to her has died... perhaps it is because the world of Agartha has learned too much about how short and meaningless life is in the present..." "Isn't that why it has begun to fall into ruin?" "Your naiveté is quite similar to that Topsider man." "They have long barrels with them!" "even if they have to kill them?" "The same task which you bear." "What will you do?" "I don't know." "But...!" "I will repay my debt!" "Everyone has left..." "It's over that ridge." "We must hurry before the Izoku come out." "Asuna..." "Can you hear that?" "The soldiers from Amaurot!" "Run!" "Hide!" "I'll finish this quick." "Mr. Morisaki!" "They're trying to kill us now!" "Shin?" "I didn't ask for you to butt in!" "Don't kill anyone." "You'll just increase Agartha's hatred." "The boy from Canaan?" "Why do you cover for the Topsiders?" "Those two saved a girl from your village." "You should owe them a debt of gratitude!" "they will become the catalyst for the ruin." "We cannot allow this root of evil in the future." "Move!" "I've paid back my debt..." "Go now!" "Shin!" "You're not bad." "allow me." "It's the end of this world..." "Finis Terra." "The Gate of Life and Death is at the bottom of this cliff." "Hurry..." "Don't let his actions go to waste." "Lose as much weight as you can." "We're climbing down to the bottom." "But..." "I can't!" "Isn't there some other way..." "There's no time for that." "the Izoku will come out." "Let's go." "Mr. Morisaki!" "Asuna!" "Asuna." "Listen to me." "and came this deep into the world." "I know you will be able to get past this cliff." "Remember why you came to Agartha!" "this place is..." "I... can't do it." "Enough of this." "You have lost your place in Agartha." "I never had one to begin with!" "I understand." "I'll go on alone." "you carry this." "and aim for the Elder's place." "enter the water to escape from the Izoku." "Asuna." "I want you to live." "but please remember that for me." "The clavis has disappeared down into Finis Terra." "We can pursue it no further." "But there is no way for the Topsiders to survive descending that cliff." "neither Agartha nor the surface..." "No place can provide you rest or peace any longer." "You have chosen to wander aimlessly for all eternity." "and repent." "I'm sorry for forcing you to gallop so far..." "Can you stand?" "Where should I go now?" "Asuna..." "Ruins?" "Damn it!" "The defiled..." "Kill..." "Devour..." "Defiled..." "Devour..." "Asuna..." "I'll give you a blessing." "what's a blessing?" "A blessing?" "I'll give you a blessing." "Did someone say that to you?" "Yeah..." "Asuna." "I think that's a blessing." "Asuna!" "Want to walk home together?" "Asuna!" "Asuna." "Why did you save me?" "Just how solitary human existence is..." "I will repay my debt!" "Asuna!" "Why?" "Why have you come to Agartha?" "Why?" "It's just because..." "I was so lonely." "No..." "Lisa..." "I'll see you soon." "Soon..." "The water is gone!" "When did..." "Defiled..." "Kill..." "Wait here!" "Devour the defiled..." "I..." "I... have to live..." "Asuna!" "The dawn is breaking." "Asuna." "Yeah..." "Shin." "have I?" "Really?" "My body just moved on its own." "I wasn't really thinking about trying to save you or anything." "What?" "The color of your eyes is a little different than Shun's." "too." "a kid?" "So are you!" "after all..." "Are you still..." "Because..." "Because..." "Don't cry!" "Brother..." "Shakuna Vimana!" "It's heading to the Gate of Life and Death." "That's where Mr. Morisaki is..." "That Arch Angel guy made it?" "Vimana is the ark that carries life itself!" "Finis Terra!" "I thought I'd gotten a lot farther away..." "I must have gone around in circles during the night." "Quetzal Coatl!" "this Quetzal Coatl is..." "You know?" "It's probably come here to die." "Vita-aqua!" "This is..." "A graveyard of Quetzal Coatl!" "This is... the Gate of Life and Death?" "A song?" "the Quetzal Coatl do this..." "They sing a song containing all of their memories." "changing the form of things everywhere... the vibrations in the air enter our bodies and intermix within us. somewhere within the world." "I've heard this song before." "It's always stayed within me..." "Asuna!" "I have to go to Mr. Morisaki." "I think he might be in trouble alone." "the cliff..." "It says that it will take us there." "Shakuna Vimana!"
