Hey, Nobuo,

you get Hanazawa's manuscript yet?

No, not yet.

He said he would be finished later tonight.

Aw, it's always something.

Oh, hey.

There's one more thing.

When you finally get the damn manuscript,

When you finally get the damn thing,

tell him it's gonna be his last one.

Yeah. It looks good.

Nice work.

I think I'm gonna take this one home with me.

Then tomorrow I'll take it to the printers.

Thanks so much.

Sorry this always takes me so long.

Don't worry about it.

Look, there's something else.

I have some news I'm supposed to pass on to you.

Oh!

I wanted to tell you about something as well.

I've got a new twist!

It's going to happen at the start of the next issue.

I just love science fiction, you know?

Whether it's antigravity or time travel,

I think it's my job to reinterpret this stuff.

Start giving the kids a new dream of the future,

something they've never seen before.

Anyway, check this out...

Maybe Hanazawa is a genius.

Hanazawa might be a genius.

That was some plot twist.

How could I tell him that we're dropping his series?

Aw, to hell with this job.

Maybe the world will end and I won't have to deal with this.

I'll take it from here.

Oh. Hi, Kadode.

Why aren't you at school?

I was at the tutor.

It's August 31.

It's August 31st.

Also known as summer break.

And dad, you smell like alcohol.

And Dad, you smell like alcohol.

Right.

Of course...

We interrupt our regular program for breaking news.

At around 1:30 pm,

a giant flying object appeared above Tokyo Bay.

It currently appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.

It appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.

I repeat. At around 1:30 pm,

a giant flying object appeared above Tokyo Bay.

It currently appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.

It appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.

Smaller flying objects have just exited the saucer!

Smaller flying objects have detached from the saucer!

A state of emergency has been declared and

A state of emergency has been declared.

entry to all twenty-three cities of Tokyo is now prohibited.

Entry to all twenty-three cities of Tokyo is now prohibited.

There are currently fires erupting across the city...

Fires have broken out all across the city...

Sir...

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Daddy! Wake up!

Hey, Daddy!

Look at me, daddy!

Look at me, Daddy!

Kadode.

I'm so sorry to leave you alone.

Hey! Hey!

Kadode...

Nobuo?

Nobuo!

Wake up! You gotta wake up!

I don't know what to do...

I can't find Sumie anywhere!

Hako!

Kimi, did you find my sister?

No, I didn't.

I think her location signaling must be cut off.

She could be outside.

Kadode?

Um, hey. Excuse me.

Do I know you two?

And, uh...

Where am I?

Um, sorry. I just want to check something.

The man inside...

I knew it.

I guess he's dead after all.

He's dead...

Nobuo Koyama.

I'm sure you must be confused but

I'm sure you must be confused,

please try to stay calm, okay?

but please try to stay calm, okay?

This will come as a shock

This will come as a shock,

but you've been unconscious for more than eight years.

In that time, your body was taken over by an invader.

Did you say eight years?

An invader?

I'm afraid we are living in a society

I'm afraid that the world we're living in now

that is far different from the world you once knew.

is far different from the one you remember.

Civilization has a new name...

Civilization has a new name,

August thirty-second.

8/32.

Also known as Never-ending Summer Break.

What is this fog?

Apparently it's from the debris of the mother ship.

The effect of F element energy, or something.

The effect of F element energy or something.

Mother ship?

It's only the gigantic invader spaceship that appeared over Tokyo.

You know, the gigantic invader spaceship that appeared over Tokyo.

Tell me you remember that, at least.

I'm sure you remember that.

I think so...

The catastrophe caused by the mother ship was on August thirty-first.

8/31 is when the mother ship started this whole catastrophe.

The Asterisks that appeared after the mother ship exploded four years later changed everything

And four years later, the mother ship explosion released Asterisks, which really changed everything.

and kicked off August thirty-second.

That's what kicked off 8/32.

It ended life as we know it

It ended life as we know it.

and left us with this world of utter shit.

And now we're living in this world of utter shit.

Asterisks, huh?

And what are those exactly?

Take a look for yourself.

If you touch one, it kills you. Instantly.

Anything they touch disintegrates. Instantly.

There's a lot less than there were before

There's a lot less than there were before,

but they're still flying in from somewhere.

The arrival of the Asterisks;

The arrival of the Asterisks

and the complete decimation of the human population.

Glowing and orb-shaped,

the Asterisks destroy anything they contact.

The Japanese government figured they would destroy the mother ship,

The Japanese government planned to destroy the mother ship,

hoping it would stop further damage caused by the Asterisks.

What a mess that caused.

Big mistake.

Though the Asterisks in the city were destroyed, large portions of Tokyo were, as well.

Most of the Asterisks were destroyed, but so was most of Tokyo.

Kadode...

You keep mentioning that name.

Who is this Kadode?

Who is that?

My daughter.

You have a daughter, Nobuo?

I was always too busy with work to spend any time with her.

I imagine that she hates me.

She probably hates me.

I don't know if she's still alive,

but I wish I could talk to her.

Hako!

Sumie!

I knew this would happen eventually.

This was bound to happen eventually.

Sumie was getting on everyone's nerves around here

Sumie was getting on everyone's nerves.

by pressuring them to join an extremist group called New Japan Harmony.

Always pressuring them to join an extremist group, New Japan Harmony.

And I know she wasn't the type to just wander off.

Especially not when it's raining Asterisks.

New Japan Harmony? What's that?

They started out as an extremist group called Youth United Front

They started out as an extremist group called Youth United Front.

– mostly young people.

At the time, they were mostly young people.

Back then they were just a bunch of idiots who killed invaders, but after August thirty-second,

Just a bunch of idiots who killed invaders, until 8/32.

they grew a conscience and decided they'd start protecting the invaders, instead.

They grew a conscience and decided they'd start protecting the invaders instead.

They even protect parasitic half-invaders such as yourself.

They even protect parasitic half-invaders like you.

It's not a bad deal.

Can you fill me in on who the invaders are?

And who are the invaders, exactly?

The aliens that came out of the Mother ship. We refer to them as the invaders.

That's the name we've settled on for the aliens that came out of the mother ship.

Your body was taken over by one.

Interesting, huh?

Oh, sorry.

I haven't properly introduced myself.

I haven't introduced myself yet.

My name is Kimika Ando.

And this girl,

this is Hako Shimoda, a childhood friend.

She's the younger sister of the deceased Sumie.

Sumie was her big sister.

And you, or rather the person who was inside you,

had protected Sumie, Hako and I for a long time.

protected Sumie, Hako, and I for a long time.

I was... protecting you?

I was protecting you?

Uh-huh.

That's how the three of us survived here.

You had been acting strange, though.

And Sumie was getting worried that your real identity might be revealed.

And that's why she wanted to join New Japan Harmony as soon as possible.

And that's why she wanted to join NJH as soon as possible.

Then at least we'd have protection for you

Then at least we'd have someone on our side.

if people were to discover the truth.

If anyone figured out what you are.

Countries continue to engage in meaningless conflict...

all under the pretext of human survival.

All under the pretext of human survival.

Our population has plummeted to one-twentieth of what it once was.

The most important thing is not to fight but to help.

The most important thing is not to fight, but to help.

It's true.

Let's build a lasting worldview together with New Japan Harmony.

Our only shot at true freedom is to rally under New Japan Harmony's banner.

It will serve as Japan's government in this time of need.

Together, we can create a new world order!

So, is this person a religious leader or something?

So, is he a preacher or something?

Well, he did predict the Mother ship's explosion right before it happened, but...

Well, he did predict the mother ship's explosion right before it happened.

He's just some dipshit. He talks about freedom and I don't know...

But he's just some dipshit that's good at talking big.

That's the kind of person that can seem like a hero to people who've lost hope.

He's a master of the type of language that appeals to people who've lost hope.

God, maybe that's me, as well.

God, maybe that's me, too.

If I keep watching stuff like this, I'll end up attracting unwanted attention.

Better shut this off before we attract some unwanted attention.

What do you mean?

Fujin number nine.

Combat vehicles powered by rogue AIs.

They will hunt down and attack humans who aren't under their direct control.

They'll hunt down anyone that they deem too rebellious.

C'mon. It's about time for dinner.

Nobuo, you have your own smart phone, yeah?

Probably somewhere.

I'm the one who was inside you.

Eight years ago,

I became a parasitic infestation within you, a dying man.

I moved to Osaka, where I acted and lived like a human being.

Although I know I was being very selfish,

I was able to enjoy a humble but happy life.

However, human life force is tremendous,

and your consciousness invaded me in an attempt to regain your body.

For the past four years since August thirty-second,

I have endured with all my heart to fulfill my mission to protect Sumie, Hako and Kimika.

I have endured with all my heart to fulfill my mission to protect Sumie, Hako, and Kimika.

Since Sumie disappeared though, I have lost my purpose in living and

Since Sumie disappeared, though, I have lost my purpose in living.

feel my consciousness rapidly diminishing.

I can feel my consciousness rapidly diminishing.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience I caused.

As for your family, Nobuo,

I have not received any news.

But I am certain that they are alive somewhere.

I wish all of you good health.

The person inside.

Kadode...

Well, I can understand why you'd want to leave.

Honestly, I don't believe your family is still out there, Nobuo.

But honestly, your family is probably dead.

Besides, we're in Osaka.

Do you plan on walking all the way to Tokyo?

You planning on walking to Tokyo?

That's the idea. Are you staying down here forever?

I guess. Are you two planning to stay down here forever?

I can't be expected to believe all this without seeing what's going on with my own eyes.

Why would anyone believe all of this without seeing the outside for themselves first?

If you stay here, you won't starve.

There are usually relief supplies because this area is controlled by the U.S.

The U.S. controls this area, so they provide supplies.

There isn't much conflict and the Fujin nines don't come underground.

There isn't much open conflict and the Fujin nines stay above ground.

It seems peaceful at first glance,

But that's all surface-level.

but in reality, a power caste has formed.

In reality, a power caste has formed.

Violence and inequality are spreading.

And that inequality is breeding violence.

People who don't obey are forced into labor.

Anyone who doesn't fall in line is forced into labor.

And if that doesn't work...

But if we can join up with New Japan Harmony we might get real protection.

But if we can manage to reach Sumie's contacts in New Japan Harmony,

I think it's what my sister would have wanted us to do.

they might be willing to take us in!

I don't want to die being idle and complacent,

I don't want to die down here...

not without trying to make a difference.

Idle and complacent, without even trying to make a difference.

Alright, Nobuo.

We're getting out of this hell hole with you.

You two need to stay alert. You got it?

You two need to stay alert, okay?

The Fujin nine?

You do not want to meet one.

Now that we've left the restricted area, they could come after us.

And now that we're above ground, we're fair game.

We have to keep moving.

We'll get as far as we can overnight.

I got in touch with a Kansai member of New Japan Harmony.

I got a reply from someone in NJH's Kansai branch.

There's an assembly point about a day from here on foot.

The rendezvous point they chose is about a day from here on foot.

Damn, I just can't walk anymore!

But Kimi, you were the one looking forward to this...

But Kimi, you were leading the charge when we left...

Well, turns out I'm an indoor type.

Don't be so hard on me.

We haven't seen a single one of these Fujin things.

We haven't seen a single one of those Fujin things.

Maybe we can just walk all the way to Tokyo.

Don't worry, I'll get you to the New Japan Harmony assembly point.

Don't worry, I'll get you to the NJH rendezvous point.

Then, after that...

But after that...

After that I guess we say our goodbyes.

After that, I guess we say our goodbyes.

You're right.

I need to go to Tokyo and talk to my daughter. I need to see Kadode.

I need to get to Tokyo. I have to find Kadode and talk to her.

If Tokyo is as bad as you say it is, then Kadode would have hated me until the end.

If Tokyo is as bad as you say it is, then Kadode might've died hating me.

Really doesn't sound like many made it out alive.

I'm sure she's doing just fine somewhere.

And c'mon,

I highly doubt your daughter hates you for real.

I really doubt your daughter actually hates you.

Why?

Because, you know...

Girls are complicated, dummy.

That device is not approved by the Japanese government.

It's still on us!

No! Hako!

Hako, hang on!

You'll be okay, Hako!

It looks like a graze!

Looks like it just grazed you!

Hang in there, Hako.

Just hang in there.

Hang in there, Hako.

You can hang in there, Hako.

Just up ahead.

Hey, anyone home?

I don't think there's anyone here.

I highly doubt it.

Nobody's lived in this area for ages.

This area's been abandoned for ages.

This'll help.

These should work.

At least she's sleeping.

Will she be all right?

Well, I'm afraid I don't know much about medicine.

And connecting to the internet is dangerous out here.

And it's dangerous to use the Internet out here.

She might get proper treatment from New Japan Harmony.

Maybe NJH can patch her up.

Hey, Nobuo?

Yeah?

Never-mind, it's nothing.

Never mind. It's nothing.

Let's find something to eat.

Oh, huh.

I published that magazine.

Oh yeah, that's right.

You were a manga editor, weren't you?

Sure, something like that.

Well that checks out.

That checks out.

When we first met you had a manuscript you refused to let go of.

When we first met, you had a manuscript you refused to let go of.

I think it was maybe for an old manga or something.

I think it was for some old manga or something.

A manuscript?

That must have been Mr. Hanazawa's work.

Must have been Mr. Hanazawa's.

Looks like that man just kept writing manga even after the world was ending.

So the world was ending around him and that guy just kept on writing.

Yeah, of course he would.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Kimika! Get out!

Don't worry.

These people are members of New Japan Harmony.

These people are with NJH.

This man is the invader?

Is this guy the invader?

Any traces of parasitism?

The left side of his face.

I-I, uh...

All I did was escort the girls here safely.

We're taking you to the sanctuary now.

Restrain him.

Don't be too rough on him.

He's a valuable sample.

I'm sorry, Nobuo!

They would only accept us if we were willing to hand you over.

They wouldn't have taken us in otherwise.

I wouldn't have done this if I didn't think it was the right thing to do.

Please just follow the orders of these people.

Please just do what they say.

They'll make sure you are protected.

They'll protect you.

Protection?

Protect me?

I don't need their—

Stop your struggling.

Chill out, man.

You'll suffocate yourself.

Or you'll suffocate.

Just breathe slowly.

Deep breaths now.

What the hell is wrong with you?!

What the hell?!

You said there'd be no violence!

You promised not to hurt him!

Run! Now!

Run!

Run to your daughter, Nobuo!

Find your daughter, Nobuo!

Hey!

Damn! Don't let him get away!

Piece of shit! Catch him!

Get in!

They seem desperate.

We should be well out of their territory by now.

Sorry for the delayed explanation.

We're members of the private security organization SHIP.

We're members of the private security organization, SHIP.

Our intel suggested New Japan Harmony would be active in that location, and apparently it was right on the money.

Our intel suggested NJH would be active in that location, and apparently it was right on the money.

So, who are you?

A former SES Engineer, or what?

No, I'm-I'm an editor.

No, I'm an editor.

Just a guy who edits manga.

We're withdrawing from this area.

We're planning to head in the direction of Nagoya.

We're headed roughly towards Nagoya.

Nagoya, huh?

That's good.

I can make that route work.

I'm trying to get back to Tokyo.

Tokyo? What part of Tokyo, old man?

Setagaya.

I'm hoping that my family might be there.

Most of Tokyo's twenty-three cities are gone.

They were swallowed up by Tokyo Bay.

I understand your need to return,

but in all honesty it's probably pointless.

but in all honesty, it's probably pointless.

Besides, we're in the middle of an operation now.

We can't just release you without proper authorization from the higher-ups.

There you have it.

Sorry, old man,

Sorry, old man.

but you're gonna have to be patient.

You're stuck with us for a bit.

Are you kidding me?!

Hey, c'mon, watch it will ya?

It's you.

It's you!

You're Kadode's dad!

You know my daughter?

Here, take a look.

When was this taken?

That was years ago at a university summer camp.

University...

We haven't seen a single one of these Fujin things.
Maybe we can just walk all the way to Tokyo.
Don't worry, I'll get you to the New Japan Harmony assembly point.
Then, after that...
After that I guess we say our goodbyes.
You're right.
I need to go to Tokyo and talk to my daughter. I need to see Kadode.
If Tokyo is as bad as you say it is, then Kadode would have hated me until the end.
Really doesn't sound like many made it out alive.
I'm sure she's doing just fine somewhere.
And c'mon,
I highly doubt your daughter hates you for real.
Why?
Because, you know...
Girls are complicated, dummy.

Warning.

It's still on us!
No! Hako!
Hako, hang on!
You'll be okay, Hako!
It looks like a graze!
Hang in there, Hako.
Just hang in there.
Hang in there, Hako.
You can hang in there, Hako.
Just up ahead.
Hey, anyone home?
I don't think there's anyone here.
Nobody's lived in this area for ages.
This'll help.
At least she's sleeping.
Will she be all right?
Well, I'm afraid I don't know much about medicine.
And connecting to the internet is dangerous out here.
She might get proper treatment from New Japan Harmony.
Hey, Nobuo?
Yeah?
Never-mind, it's nothing.
Let's find something to eat.
Oh, huh.
I published that magazine.
Oh yeah, that's right.
You were a manga editor, weren't you?
Sure, something like that.
Well that checks out.
When we first met you had a manuscript you refused to let go of.
I think it was maybe for an old manga or something.
A manuscript?
That must have been Mr. Hanazawa's work.
Looks like that man just kept writing manga even after the world was ending.
Yeah, of course he would.
Kimika! Get out!
Don't worry.
These people are members of New Japan Harmony.
This man is the invader?
Any traces of parasitism?
The left side of his face.
I-I, uh...
All I did was escort the girls here safely.
We're taking you to the sanctuary now.
Restrain him.
Don't be too rough on him.
He's a valuable sample.
I'm sorry, Nobuo!
They would only accept us if we were willing to hand you over.
I wouldn't have done this if I didn't think it was the right thing to do.
Please just follow the orders of these people.
They'll make sure you are protected.
Protection?
I don't need their—
Stop your struggling.
You'll suffocate yourself.
Just breathe slowly.
What the hell is wrong with you?!
You said there'd be no violence!
Run! Now!
Run to your daughter, Nobuo!
Hey!
Damn! Don't let him get away!
Get in!
They seem desperate.
We should be well out of their territory by now.
Sorry for the delayed explanation.
We're members of the private security organization SHIP.
Our intel suggested New Japan Harmony would be active in that location, and apparently it was right on the money.
So, who are you?
A former SES Engineer, or what?
No, I'm-I'm an editor.
Just a guy who edits manga.
We're withdrawing from this area.
We're planning to head in the direction of Nagoya.
Nagoya, huh?
That's good.
I can make that route work.
I'm trying to get back to Tokyo.
Tokyo? What part of Tokyo, old man?
Setagaya.
I'm hoping that my family might be there.
Most of Tokyo's twenty-three cities are gone.
They were swallowed up by Tokyo Bay.
I understand your need to return,
but in all honesty it's probably pointless.
Besides, we're in the middle of an operation now.
We can't just release you without proper authorization from the higher-ups.
There you have it.
Sorry, old man,
but you're gonna have to be patient.
Are you kidding me?!
Hey, c'mon, watch it will ya?
It's you.
You're Kadode's dad!
You know my daughter?
Here, take a look.
When was this taken?
That was years ago at a university summer camp.
University...

-- Edit
Hey, Nobuo,
you get Hanazawa's manuscript yet?
No, not yet.
He said he would be finished later tonight.
Aw, it's always something.
Oh, hey.
There's one more thing.
When you finally get the damn thing,
tell him it's gonna be his last one.
Yeah. It looks good.
Nice work.
I think I'm gonna take this one home with me.
Then tomorrow I'll take it to the printers.
Thanks so much.
Sorry this always takes me so long.
Don't worry about it.
Look, there's something else.
I have some news I'm supposed to pass on to you.
Oh!
I wanted to tell you about something as well.
I've got a new twist!
It's going to happen at the start of the next issue.
I just love science fiction, you know?
Whether it's antigravity or time travel,
I think it's my job to reinterpret this stuff.
Start giving the kids a new dream of the future,
something they've never seen before.
Anyway, check this out...
Hanazawa might be a genius.
That was some plot twist.
How could I tell him that we're dropping his series?
Aw, to hell with this job.
Maybe the world will end and I won't have to deal with this.
I'll take it from here.
Oh. Hi, Kadode.
Why aren't you at school?
I was at the tutor.
It's August 31st.
Also known as summer break.
And Dad, you smell like alcohol.
Right.
Of course...
We interrupt our regular program for breaking news.
At around 1:30 pm,
a giant flying object appeared above Tokyo Bay.
It appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.
I repeat. At around 1:30 pm,
a giant flying object appeared above Tokyo Bay.
It appears to be heading North at a speed of thirty kilometers an hour.
Smaller flying objects have detached from the saucer!
A state of emergency has been declared.
Entry to all twenty-three cities of Tokyo is now prohibited.
Fires have broken out all across the city...
Sir...
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Daddy! Wake up!
Hey, Daddy!
Look at me, Daddy!
Kadode.
I'm so sorry to leave you alone.
Hey! Hey!
Kadode...
Nobuo?
Nobuo!
Wake up! You gotta wake up!
I don't know what to do...
I can't find Sumie anywhere!
Hako!
Kimi, did you find my sister?
No, I didn't.
I think her location signaling must be cut off.
She could be outside.
Kadode?
Um, hey. Excuse me.
Do I know you two?
And, uh...
Where am I?
Um, sorry. I just want to check something.
I knew it.
He's dead...
Nobuo Koyama.
I'm sure you must be confused,
but please try to stay calm, okay?
This will come as a shock,
but you've been unconscious for more than eight years.
In that time, your body was taken over by an invader.
Did you say eight years?
An invader?
I'm afraid that the world we're living in now
is far different from the one you remember.
Civilization has a new name,
8/32.
Also known as Never-ending Summer Break.
What is this fog?
Apparently it's from the debris of the mother ship.
The effect of F element energy or something.
Mother ship?
You know, the gigantic invader spaceship that appeared over Tokyo.
I'm sure you remember that.
I think so...
8/31 is when the mother ship started this whole catastrophe.
And four years later, the mother ship explosion released Asterisks, which really changed everything.
That's what kicked off 8/32.
It ended life as we know it.
And now we're living in this world of utter shit.
Asterisks, huh?
And what are those exactly?
Take a look for yourself.
Anything they touch disintegrates. Instantly.
There's a lot less than there were before,
but they're still flying in from somewhere.
The arrival of the Asterisks
and the complete decimation of the human population.
Glowing and orb-shaped,
the Asterisks destroy anything they contact.
The Japanese government planned to destroy the mother ship,
hoping it would stop further damage caused by the Asterisks.
Big mistake.
Most of the Asterisks were destroyed, but so was most of Tokyo.
Kadode...
You keep mentioning that name.
Who is that?
My daughter.
You have a daughter, Nobuo?
I was always too busy with work to spend any time with her.
She probably hates me.
I don't know if she's still alive,
but I wish I could talk to her.
Hako!
Sumie!
This was bound to happen eventually.
Sumie was getting on everyone's nerves.
Always pressuring them to join an extremist group, New Japan Harmony.
And I know she wasn't the type to just wander off.
Especially not when it's raining Asterisks.
New Japan Harmony? What's that?
They started out as an extremist group called Youth United Front.
At the time, they were mostly young people.
Just a bunch of idiots who killed invaders, until 8/32.
They grew a conscience and decided they'd start protecting the invaders instead.
They even protect parasitic half-invaders like you.
It's not a bad deal.
And who are the invaders, exactly?
That's the name we've settled on for the aliens that came out of the mother ship.
Your body was taken over by one.
Interesting, huh?
Oh, sorry.
I haven't introduced myself yet.
My name is Kimika Ando.
And this girl,
this is Hako Shimoda, a childhood friend.
Sumie was her big sister.
And you, or rather the person who was inside you,
protected Sumie, Hako, and I for a long time.
I was protecting you?
Uh-huh.
That's how the three of us survived here.
You had been acting strange, though.
And Sumie was getting worried that your real identity might be revealed.
And that's why she wanted to join NJH as soon as possible.
Then at least we'd have someone on our side.
If anyone figured out what you are.
Countries continue to engage in meaningless conflict...
All under the pretext of human survival.
Our population has plummeted to one-twentieth of what it once was.
The most important thing is not to fight, but to help.
It's true.
Our only shot at true freedom is to rally under New Japan Harmony's banner.
Together, we can create a new world order!
So, is he a preacher or something?
Well, he did predict the mother ship's explosion right before it happened.
But he's just some dipshit that's good at talking big.
He's a master of the type of language that appeals to people who've lost hope.
God, maybe that's me, too.
Better shut this off before we attract some unwanted attention.
What do you mean?
Fujin number nine.
Combat vehicles powered by rogue AIs.
They'll hunt down anyone that they deem too rebellious.
C'mon. It's about time for dinner.
Nobuo, you have your own smart phone, yeah?
Probably somewhere.
I'm the one who was inside you.
Eight years ago,
I became a parasitic infestation within you, a dying man.
I moved to Osaka, where I acted and lived like a human being.
Although I know I was being very selfish,
I was able to enjoy a humble but happy life.
However, human life force is tremendous,
and your consciousness invaded me in an attempt to regain your body.
For the past four years since August thirty-second,
I have endured with all my heart to fulfill my mission to protect Sumie, Hako, and Kimika.
Since Sumie disappeared, though, I have lost my purpose in living.
I can feel my consciousness rapidly diminishing.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience I caused.
As for your family, Nobuo,
I have not received any news.
But I am certain that they are alive somewhere.
I wish all of you good health.
The person inside.
Kadode...
Well, I can understand why you'd want to leave.
But honestly, your family is probably dead.
Besides, we're in Osaka.
You planning on walking to Tokyo?
I guess. Are you two planning to stay down here forever?
Why would anyone believe all of this without seeing the outside for themselves first?
If you stay here, you won't starve.
The U.S. controls this area, so they provide supplies.
There isn't much open conflict and the Fujin nines stay above ground.
But that's all surface-level.
In reality, a power caste has formed.
And that inequality is breeding violence.
Anyone who doesn't fall in line is forced into labor.
And if that doesn't work...
But if we can manage to reach Sumie's contacts in New Japan Harmony,
they might be willing to take us in!
I don't want to die down here...
Idle and complacent, without even trying to make a difference.
Alright, Nobuo.
We're getting out of this hell hole with you.
You two need to stay alert, okay?
The Fujin nine?
You do not want to meet one.
And now that we're above ground, we're fair game.
We have to keep moving.
We'll get as far as we can overnight.
I got a reply from someone in NJH's Kansai branch.
The rendezvous point they chose is about a day from here on foot.
Damn, I just can't walk anymore!
But Kimi, you were leading the charge when we left...
Well, turns out I'm an indoor type.
Don't be so hard on me.
We haven't seen a single one of those Fujin things.
Maybe we can just walk all the way to Tokyo.
Don't worry, I'll get you to the NJH rendezvous point.
But after that...
After that, I guess we say our goodbyes.
You're right.
I need to get to Tokyo. I have to find Kadode and talk to her.
If Tokyo is as bad as you say it is, then Kadode might've died hating me.
Really doesn't sound like many made it out alive.
I'm sure she's doing just fine somewhere.
And c'mon,
I really doubt your daughter actually hates you.
Why?
Because, you know...
Girls are complicated, dummy.

Just up ahead.
Hey, anyone home?
I highly doubt it.
This area's been abandoned for ages.
These should work.
At least she's sleeping.
Will she be all right?
Well, I'm afraid I don't know much about medicine.
And it's dangerous to use the Internet out here.
Maybe NJH can patch her up.

Yeah?

So the world was ending around him and that guy just kept on writing.
Yeah, sounds about right.

The left side of his face.

They wouldn't have taken us in otherwise.
I wouldn't have done this if I didn't think it was the right thing to do.
Please just do what they say.
They'll protect you.
Protect me?
I don't need their—
Chill out, man.
Or you'll suffocate.
Deep breaths now.
What the hell?!
You promised not to hurt him!
Run!
Find your daughter, Nobuo!
Hey!
Piece of shit! Catch him!
Get in!
They seem desperate.
We should be well out of their territory by now.
Sorry for the delayed explanation.
