"C-Ceres...?" "You're not Aya?" "!" ""Aya" is a personification that I created over the past 16 years." "Influenced by environment and human relationships..." "Aya developed her own characteristics." "Celestial characteristics!" "?" "We are not separate." "Aya is me... she has always been me." "It's just that..." "Aya's consciousness was stronger." "She is the first one out of... all the Mikage daughters that can emerge this far." "Are you a Mikage henchman?" "My orders are to capture you alive." "You're willing to fight me?" "All right." "You can join the rest of the Mikage... and have a taste of eternal bliss." "That woman belongs to the Mikage, too?" "Hey, cut it out!" "She's your..." "She's Aya's mother!" "You would protect her?" "Huh?" "!" "Don't be afraid." "You have nothing to do with the Mikage." "Get back so that you won't be hurt..." "Yuhi." "How can she and Aya be one and the same?" "!" "Aya's so cocky and blunt." "And she's not nearly as kind or pretty... or sexy!" "Where am I?" "!" "Hmm?" "I won't let you escape." "Where is it?" "Where is my robe?" "Ceres?" "You're sure she's a celestial being?" "Yeah!" "Her eyes, hair..." "everything changed!" "She can't be the same girl!" "This isn't good." "You must find Aya and stop her." "Stop her!" "?" "How?" "You can do it." "I put my spell on your talisman headband." "I made it expressly for this purpose." "If we don't get Aya back, terrible things will happen." "You must stop her!" "Without my robe, I cannot return." "Now tell me, where is it?" "You must know who has it." "Sorry." "I don't even know about my own background." "I see." "Stop it!" "You are Aya!" "You're not an angel!" "Let go of me." "If you interfere, I won't hesitate to hurt you, too." "I will destroy every Mikage!" "For taking my robe and humiliating me!" "I'll kill every male Mikage!" "A kiss...?" "Toya..." "How dare you!" "You pervert!" "Aya!" "It really made you come back?" "What're you talking about?" "!" "Don't mess with me!" "Toya!" "Why?" "Wait!" "Mother!" "I remember..." "Mother was trying to kill me..." "Your mother hasn't regained consciousness." "Mother!" "Mother, please!" "Hang on!" "In a coma?" "Yeah." "The doctor says it was probably caused... by psychological shock." "Her emotions just shut down." "Only time will tell." "Well, she'll be safe in this hospital." "The Aogiri name has influence here." "Did the Mikage family do something to her?" "Why would mother attack her own daughter?" "In any case, I'm so proud of you." "For transforming Ceres back into Aya." "I wonder what she meant when she asked, "where is my robe"?" "She was really intense." "Said she was gonna destroy the Mikage." "And Aya remembers nothing." "Isn't this just awful?" "Whhaa...!" "D'ya hafta appear looking like that?" "!" "How rude!" "Even if I look like Ayumi Hamasaki..." "I didn't say that...!" "Shucks... did she just hear what I said?" "What?" "That I look like Miho Kanno?" "I'm going to get something to drink." "I'm going with you." "Hey, no fair!" "I'm going...!" "Did I..." "Did I use those strange powers again?" "Did I destroy the hospital room and hurt Toya, too?" "Did I say I'd destroy the Mikage?" "Did I try to hurt Mother, too?" "No!" "You've done nothing like that!" "Why?" "!" "Why can't I remember?" "!" "I'm the only one that doesn't understand what's happening." "And it's my own body!" "Before I lost consciousness..." "I know I heard a voice within me." "Release me!" "I couldn't overcome the voice inside me." "I'm me!" "Yet..." "It's so frustrating!" "I hurt Toya, too." "There he is!" "Hey!" "Hey you!" "Quit loitering around here!" "I don't know how Aya feels about you." "But you're an eyesore!" "Stay away from Aya!" "Got that?" "!" "I'll protect her myself!" "Then protect her." "Protect with all your might." "From the Mikage and from me." "Aki, those injuries are from wounds suffered by... our ancestors at the moment of their deaths." "As if such a stupid explanation will placate me." "What happened to Aya?" "We didn't expect her to force her way into the hospital." " You are too lax, Kagami." " Yes." "As long as Aya lives, we won't know a moment's peace." "Destroy her before Aki realizes what's happening!" "Yes sir!" "Wait for me, Aya!" "I'll be there!" "We've always been together." "You and I weren't meant to be apart." "I must go to her and protect her from everyone." "Wait for me Aya." "Where did Aki go?" "!" "What were you doing?" "!" "What if something happens to him?" "Forgive us!" "Find him!" "He can't have gone far with those injuries!" "You're late." "Aki ran away." "Find him immediately." "First, the girl." "Now the brother!" "Not a moment's rest." "You have no choice but to obey." "Unless you don't care about remembering your past." "I met your celestial being." "She's a different woman." "Calls herself Ceres." "Her hair, her eyes..." "were different from Aya's." "And...?" "I couldn't capture her." "That's all." "So now I'll go find Aki." "Right?" "Has Aki gone to look for Aya?" "Aki mustn't see Aya." "But if they should meet... it may turn out to be very interesting." "Aya!" "Good-bye!" "Father!" "Mother!" "Wait!" "Where are you going?" "Aya!" "Good-bye!" "Aki!" "Wait!" "Aki!" "Wait!" "All right!" "Arghh!" "Aki!" "What happened to your face!" "?" "What're you mumbling about?" "Up at last?" "You've been asleep for a long time." "Huh?" "You must've been exhausted." "I..." "Suzumi!" "How is my mother?" "No change." "They're giving her some medication." "Don't worry." "Leave it to the doctors at the hospital." "I'm sorry." "Yuhi will be coming home soon." "I'm home!" "Boy, am I beat!" "He's home." "Sis!" "What happened to everything in my room?" "!" "Why ask me?" "Maybe it was a burglar." "Would a burglar steal my underwear?" "!" "Mrs. Q" "Yes, Miss!" "Here." "Huh?" "!" "Next to my room!" "?" "This will be your room from now on." "If you had been watching Aya earlier... all this wouldn't have happened." "But it's not fair to be just a sliding door apart!" "I agree!" "He'll get to me before the Mikage do!" "Not to worry." "He doesn't have the guts to do anything." "What...!" "?" "I will not tolerate any insubordination!" "Okay." "That's my Suzumi!" "Can you turn down the volume?" "I can listen to what I like in my room." "I'm warning you." "Take one step onto my side and you're dead." "That's what I should be saying!" "Don't attack me 'cuz I'm irresistible." "As if!" "Go and talk to Suzumi!" "She's your sister-in-law, surely you can talk to her!" "I only live here because she lets me." "I haven't the right to complain." "This is the branch house of Aogiri family." "We're a long line of classical dancers." "My late brother broke off from the main family to start this branch." "Suzumi's from a dance school in Kansai area... that has had a long association with us." "Right after she married my brother... he got killed in an auto accident." "She took over this branch and... has been running it ever since." "So there's a main branch..." "Do you dance?" "I prefer cooking to dancing." "My mother died when I was in the fifth grade." "She was a real good cook." "After she was gone... nobody else's cooking could satisfy me." "So I began cooking for myself." "What about your father?" "He's happy running the main branch with his second wife." "My other brother is the successor." "And I'm just a freeloader with the branch family." "Didn't you get along with your stepmother?" "But you and Suzumi seem just like real siblings." "Aki and I used to act like you two." "I guess I'm fortunate to have someone... in the family that I can really talk to." "Family..." "Say, if you want..." "I mean you can think of us as your family..." "Yuhi..." "What'm I doing?" "!" "I'll protect Aya!" "That was a fine thing I said!" "She drives me crazy!" "I'm starting to get dizzy." "Hey!" "Watch it!" "Look!" "He's wearing pajamas!" "You sick?" "Shut up and let go, stupid!" "Whaddaya call us?" "!" "Stupid?" "Let me go!" "I got no time for you!" "Sick guys like you should keep quiet." "Or do ya wanna really get sick?" "!" "Why you...!" "What was that?" "!" "Who're you?" "!" "Let's go, Aki." "You're okay...!" "I thought I'd never see you again." "I'll hold you 'till you stop shaking."
