"I'm going to make him our son." "But..." "Don't worry." "Myoue" "Myoue" "This one's special." "Feed it to him." "that is not for the living." "Don't swallow it by mistake." "he's our son." "I see you're awake." "Who are you?" "What did you do to me?" "right?" "What did you do to me?" "I..." "You died." "That's why I brought you here." "Is there a problem?" "What are you saying?" "so I brought you here and revived you." "you can live with us." "I'd like you to play the role of our son." "is it?" "What is this?" "Stop it!" "What is this?" "What happened to my body?" "that's all." "This can't be happening..." "No..." "I... then!" "Don't get so down." "It'll just take some getting used to." "Let's get you something to eat." "you'll be glad you're alive."

"but he wouldn't give it to me." "I wanted to have something that would connect me to my mother." "It's not fair that Sensei gets her all to himself." "I always called my dad "Sensei"..." "It's a habit that's hard to break." "I see." "Want to see his face?" "Look!" "Isn't he cool?" "The face is similar." "So's the color of the eyes." "But the age difference is too great." "He's too young." "he hasn't changed for as long as I've known him." "do you have any pictures of Mom?" "1)}Koto" "She's really pretty!" "So that picture in Yase's house was Mom?" "Her house is crazy." "Koto" "It's kind of amazing." "I didn't realize that this was Mom at all!" "Yase and Kurama-san?" "Kurama" "Yase" "Listen." "Those two are trying to take advantage of you." "Be careful." "Especially Kurama." "I can't have anything happening to you." "I guess I'm no different in that sense." "It's fine." "I'm strong." "huh?" "And I haven't decided to kill you yet." "There's no doubt about it." "She's our little sister!" "it's certainly worth testing." "Test what?" "Why do you think the things she destroys don't regenerate?" "Her weapon... was it?" "Shouko-kun tells me that it creates the same kind of power that this place does when something is recreated." "Perhaps it's similar to a magnet. they repel and knock each other away. the stronger the binding. if nothing else. to investigate these coincidences and all my hypotheses and theories." "I think it's time to go fishing again." "It's been a while." "That's... your beloved mother will return and I will open the door out of this place." "I'm not sure it'll be that easy. correct?"

"And you're the star!" "Koto!" "Huh?" "!" "Welcome to the Council of Three." "We greet you." "you two? you would give it." "Yes." "Would you be willing to participate in a small experiment?" "Wait a minute!" "We never discussed this!" "I've heard nothing about this!" "What about the rules? Myoue?" "That's right." "Know your place." "I'm not sure I get what's going on." "What do you want me to do?" "It's simple." "Just play with him for a bit." "How shall a child with no meaning be of use?" "We have placed our hopes in your childlike potential." "This game is Nintendo hard." "I'm sure she'd love to go out fighting Bishamaru." "Koto." "Stop it!" "I haven't agreed to this." "I refuse to accept this as the Council's decision." "Kurama!" "This is an official examination." "don't you?" "Oedipus?" "Mom?" "I was getting so tired of waiting." "and taking action ourselves is the quickest way to bring about the reunion." "A:" "Sis!"
