...
Smile for Hasumi as she wakes up.
"I'm glad you're all right."
...
Look over at Tsurugi's bed.
Whoa! You can already move, Tsurugi?! I guess you're not the president of the Justice Task Force for nothing.
You're looking well, Sensei.
"Yeah, thanks to you."
I'm glad the treatment worked out in the end. It was my first time caring for an adult.
Sensei...
You shouldn't be out of bed yet, Chinatsu. Go lie down. Don't make me pull the seniority card.
B-But I'm part of the Prefect Team now...
The door is always open for you to return to the Medical Emergency Club. I'll see to it that you only work with the highest quality cadavers. Er, patients, I mean to say.
I think I'll have to decline...
Sensei...
What do you think you're doing, Ako? You shouldn't move ye, gah.
"Take it easy, you two. I'm fine."
But the president is still missing...
She's not in her office, and I can't get ahold of her.
Sensei. Please...
"Don't worry. I'll find Hina."
Thank you, Sensei. We're counting on you.
Sensei...
"Hey, Hifumi."
Sensei, it's Azusa. She's...
...
...
She's fighting all by herself. She's out there all alone, still struggling...
"I know."
I don't know what to do. I don't know how to help her...
Is there anything an ordinary girl like me can do to help?
I know it's dangerous, but there has to be a way. I want to help Azusa.
...
Y-Yeah! We can't just leave her like this!
Koharu...
I-I know what it feels like to be all alone too. To be left behind... We can't just abandon her!
I agree. I can only imagine how lonely she is right now.
"This is why you're the Make-Up Work Club's leader, Hifumi."
I'm what...?
"Your resiliency is what's led us here."
"Ordinary or not, you've never given up."
We've all worked hard, but we only got this far because you were our club president.
We've all worked hard, but we only got this far because you were our club president.
That's right. None of us would be standing here if not for you, Hifumi.
Hanako... Koharu...
"And whenever you get a little lost, you can come to me."
"Listening and helping is my job, after all."
...
...
All right. I get it completely.
I've learned my lesson. I won't give up, and I won't get down on myself.
I'll do whatever it takes!
So let's go, Sensei. We're going to save Azusa.
"Attagirl."
"You got it. I'll follow your lead like always."
We'll do it together, for Azusa's sake.
That's right! Because she's our friend!
Things are going to be different when I talk to her this time.
I take it there's something you need to tell her.
Right.
Everyone keeps telling us that we're wrong...about the world...and its truths. So there's something I need to get off my chest.
I refuse to believe what Azusa said...about the real world.
Hifumi?
"Sometimes friends have to speak their minds to one another."
Exactly! This time I'm going to get through to Azusa and everyone else!
Of course, Hifumi. I'll also be listening with bated breath. Let everyone know how you feel.
Worry about that later. We gotta get going!
Gathering people, persuading them, communicating, understanding...
Sensei is trying to unite students of Trinity and Gehenna after they've been torn apart yet again.
Even as we speak, the Saint Justina Council are carrying the will of Arius' resentment as they march on Trinity and Gehenna.
Yet there you are, still persuading and pleading...
...little by little, uniting us under one cause.
While Azusa is still trying to stop Arius all by herself.
At the old cathedral.
The same place left in ruins, symbolic of the paradise lost.
That is where Arius, Azusa, and Sensei will clash.
...
...
Azusa...
Saori...
How dare you harm Hime?! You're going to answer for what you did!
I'll stop you, Saori. If it's the last thing I do.
I'd like to see you try!
Do you think you can extinguish our animosity?! Our hatred?! Our resentment?!
I will. If maliciousness is what I lack, then I'll find it. If I have to kill you, then I will.
AZUSA!
And if it means that I can never return to their world, then I'll bid it farewell.
