1. Sit.Copy !req
2. Shake hands.Copy !req
3. Bang!Copy !req
4. You're supposed to play dead.
Like this. Do like this, see?Copy !req
5. Count me out.Copy !req
6. You're a dog, aren't you?Copy !req
7. I was once human.Copy !req
8. But you're a dog now.Copy !req
9. Supper is ready.Copy !req
10. Huh...?Copy !req
11. No! That's Nozomi's!Copy !req
12. Gen, you're a dummy, so you
brought the same order as before.Copy !req
13. Nozomi...Copy !req
14. Why didn't she come with us, anyway?Copy !req
15. Who knows?Copy !req
16. Maybe she's in a spat
with a certain somebody.Copy !req
17. Hey, tell us a funny story.Copy !req
18. That's not something a dog can do.Copy !req
19. Meanie. Okay, tell us
why you turned into a dog.Copy !req
20. Why did I turn into a dog...?
Yeah, why did I?Copy !req
21. Huh? Did you forget?Copy !req
22. Well, it happened a really long time ago.Copy !req
23. Then just tell us whatever
you do remember, okay?Copy !req
24. What I remember...Copy !req
25. Right. It was a very long time ago.Copy !req
26. Five thousand years ago now.Copy !req
27. Back then, I was a terribly
ill-natured young man.Copy !req
28. But there was someone who was
nice enough to give me her smile.Copy !req
29. She possessed a special power.Copy !req
30. It was the power to direct all things.Copy !req
31. You'll be okay now.Copy !req
32. She was the hope of all the others,Copy !req
33. and the one they all trusted
to make their choices.Copy !req
34. She was our whole world.Copy !req
35. However, our time of
happiness did not last long.Copy !req
36. An epidemic hit us out of nowhere.Copy !req
37. Lesions became tumors,Copy !req
38. and they swelled ever
larger on a daily basis.Copy !req
39. And even with her power to direct
all things, she could not heal us.Copy !req
40. Hey, Yamabiko...Copy !req
41. How do I look?Copy !req
42. Be honest with me.Copy !req
43. Your hair looks so clear,
and reminds me of snow.Copy !req
44. What else?Copy !req
45. Also... your lips are as blue as the sky.Copy !req
46. And...?Copy !req
47. Your eyes...Copy !req
48. ...project even more
kindness than they did before.Copy !req
49. Don't avert your eyes.Copy !req
50. But...Copy !req
51. Please. I want to get a closer look.Copy !req
52. Hmm, you're right. They're much
nicer than before. More natural.Copy !req
53. This is the real me.Copy !req
54. But no one else would ever think so.Copy !req
55. I...Copy !req
56. ...would have been willing
to do anything for her.Copy !req
57. I would have been anything for her.Copy !req
58. Yes, anything.Copy !req
59. She never gave up.Copy !req
60. She fought the epidemic,
believing that she could save us all.Copy !req
61. As the days wore on, I got so
I could no longer look at her directly.Copy !req
62. Because it was too painful?Copy !req
63. No, just the opposite.Copy !req
64. She was far too brilliant for me
to look directly at her.Copy !req
65. Ooh, listen to you!Copy !req
66. It was a terrible disease.Copy !req
67. Over time, the tumors
spread all over their bodies,Copy !req
68. and they no longer even looked human.Copy !req
69. Until finally...Copy !req
70. Are you okay?Copy !req
71. You don't have to talk about it.Copy !req
72. No,Copy !req
73. I want you to hear this.Copy !req
74. At the time, there was still some
hope left within all of their hearts.Copy !req
75. They believed for certain that
she would find a way to save us.Copy !req
76. It sounds like she was amazing.Copy !req
77. Yeah.Copy !req
78. I've seen many worlds,Copy !req
79. but she was the first person
I ever saw with that kind of power.Copy !req
80. Up until I met her, I was just
wandering aimlessly across worlds.Copy !req
81. Doing so was a lot easier on me
than being with my classmates.Copy !req
82. I spent my days in
neither sadness nor joy,Copy !req
83. and just went on living.Copy !req
84. It happened one night
when there was a new moon.Copy !req
85. That's when I met her.Copy !req
86. Tell me your name.Copy !req
87. Y-Yamabiko...Copy !req
88. I'm Kodama.Copy !req
89. Kodama was able to control
everything here, any way she liked.Copy !req
90. The others called her power "M," and
venerated her as though she were a god.Copy !req
91. For goodness' sake,
what am I going to do with you?Copy !req
92. No matter how much time passes,
you're still so needy.Copy !req
93. And don't come back here again, okay?Copy !req
94. How was it?Copy !req
95. Did you sleep well in a bed
after all this time?Copy !req
96. Yeah.Copy !req
97. Tell me, do you have
some kind of power, too?Copy !req
98. I'm... just a regular homeless guy.Copy !req
99. A traveler, huh? That's so cool.Copy !req
100. I don't have a place
of my own, that's all.Copy !req
101. We've traveled around to different
places before coming here, too.Copy !req
102. Then we finally found this place.Copy !req
103. This is a very peaceful, easy world.
Almost unbelievably so.Copy !req
104. I don't know...Copy !req
105. So, how come you're all alone?
You didn't drift here by yourself, right?Copy !req
106. What is it you're after?Copy !req
107. Huh?Copy !req
108. I don't have anything of value. Nor do I
have a power that will be useful to you.Copy !req
109. I don't have anything.Copy !req
110. Then tell me something--Copy !req
111. I want to hear about
the worlds you've been to.Copy !req
112. There isn't much to talk about.Copy !req
113. Anything is fine.Copy !req
114. Even if it's complete and utter nonsense.
We're all dying for new information.Copy !req
115. Mm-hmm, so, tell us all
about it after supper, okay?Copy !req
116. H-Hey, you can't just dictate...Copy !req
117. It's a little early still,
but let's make it nighttime.Copy !req
118. One with a full moon.Copy !req
119. All right, I'm looking forward to it.Copy !req
120. Wait!Copy !req
121. Guys, it's suppertime!Copy !req
122. Treat me like a fool, will she...?Copy !req
123. To me, her kindness felt only disturbing.Copy !req
124. Those guys all seem so fake.Copy !req
125. And it's not as though
any of them believed me.Copy !req
126. Hey.Copy !req
127. Wha--?Copy !req
128. It doesn't taste as good cold, does it?Copy !req
129. Here, while it's still hot.Copy !req
130. No thanks.Copy !req
131. Go ahead, help yourself--Copy !req
132. I said no thanks!Copy !req
133. Damn it.Copy !req
134. Damn it!Copy !req
135. Damn it, damn it, damn it! And damn her!Copy !req
136. It's ready.Copy !req
137. I get it now. Your tongue
burns easily, right?Copy !req
138. Huh?Copy !req
139. Mmm, just right. Here, try some.Copy !req
140. --But...Copy !req
141. --Just try it.
--But...Copy !req
142. Well?Copy !req
143. Well nothing.Copy !req
144. Too salty.Copy !req
145. Yeah, you're right. I must have
added a bit too much salt.Copy !req
146. I've never had soup this
salty before. It's unbelievable.Copy !req
147. Mm-hmm, I'll be more careful next time.Copy !req
148. I was so embarrassed
and frustrated by myself...Copy !req
149. ...but also a little bit happy.Copy !req
150. You're a surprisingly simple fellow, huh?Copy !req
151. Still, I think I can relate a little bit.Copy !req
152. Just a little bit, though!Copy !req
153. I shouldn't have even tried. I failed.Copy !req
154. Did you?Copy !req
155. Yeah. All I ever do is regret
the things I've done.Copy !req
156. I've wasted most of my life doing so.
Then I regret having done that.Copy !req
157. Incredible. You must be
a master at regretting.Copy !req
158. Don't you ever have any regrets?
Like, say, having drifted into this world?Copy !req
159. No, I don't.Copy !req
160. Why not?Copy !req
161. Well, I was never given
the freedom to choose.Copy !req
162. I went to school like normal,
and attended my classes like normal...Copy !req
163. and before I knew it, here I was.Copy !req
164. There's nothing there to regret
even if I wanted to. Isn't that right?Copy !req
165. You see, all we can do is move forward.Copy !req
166. I began thinking that this might be
the final destination of my long journey.Copy !req
167. I thought those days would
keep going on forever.Copy !req
168. They'd go on forever, I thought.Copy !req
169. How long has he been here?Copy !req
170. You found him because
a bird was making noise?Copy !req
171. Hey, is this...?Copy !req
172. Tell me your name.Copy !req
173. You... are so ugly...Copy !req
174. There are lots of rumors going around,Copy !req
175. wondering if that man
is the cause of this plague.Copy !req
176. He probably is.Copy !req
177. So what are you going to do?Copy !req
178. I don't want to abandon him,
if I can help it.Copy !req
179. He told me that I was ugly after
he looked at me. He didn't even hesitate.Copy !req
180. He was nice enough to speak the truth.Copy !req
181. Besides, if I can find out
what's causing these tumors,Copy !req
182. I think I can do something
about them using my power.Copy !req
183. What do you think?
What do you think I should do?Copy !req
184. I...Copy !req
185. ...think that your idea is right.Copy !req
186. Really? Is that really what you think?Copy !req
187. Of course. You're always right.Copy !req
188. Aren't you?Copy !req
189. I'm not as great a person as all that.Copy !req
190. He's kind of like you were...
when you had just barely arrived here.Copy !req
191. I looked the other way...Copy !req
192. ...from her mistake.Copy !req
193. I should have corrected
her choice at the time.Copy !req
194. But I couldn't.Copy !req
195. Why not?Copy !req
196. It was probably...Copy !req
197. ...because I believed in her...Copy !req
198. ...more than I believed in myself.Copy !req
199. Mm-hmm, it's all right.Copy !req
200. Come and let me check you tomorrow.Copy !req
201. You said the same thing yesterday.Copy !req
202. Well, I...Copy !req
203. He's turned into this.Copy !req
204. You just barely told him
that he was all right.Copy !req
205. Let me have a look. There's still--Copy !req
206. Don't touch!Copy !req
207. If only he wasn't here...Copy !req
208. He's the one who
brought this illness here.Copy !req
209. If we had only killed him back then...Copy !req
210. I said that you were ugly,
but that was a lie.Copy !req
211. The truth is, I thought
you were beautiful.Copy !req
212. Why did you lie, then?Copy !req
213. I wanted to be liked by you. And,
just as I expected, you were pleased.Copy !req
214. What do you take people's feelings for?Copy !req
215. I get that question a lot.Copy !req
216. You're the cause of
these tumors, aren't you?Copy !req
217. Mm-hmm, that's right.Copy !req
218. I'm the one who brought them here.Copy !req
219. Then I need you to tell me
how to conquer them.Copy !req
220. I should be able to cure these tumors.Copy !req
221. Those wounds can't be healed by anyone.Copy !req
222. I know you must understand...
that I'm not all that's causing them.Copy !req
223. Never mind. I'm going.Copy !req
224. I don't have time for this.Copy !req
225. No, wait!Copy !req
226. I'll give you this! Okay?Copy !req
227. What is it?Copy !req
228. Pretty, isn't it? This is an award
you get for killing a hundred people.Copy !req
229. This one is for a thousand.
This one is for ten thousand.Copy !req
230. See? Pretty, aren't they?Copy !req
231. Stop it!Copy !req
232. I'm sorry. This always happens.
I can't help but do the wrong thing.Copy !req
233. Then finally, people end up hating me.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do!Copy !req
234. Don't come near us anymore.Copy !req
235. No, please, don't be so afraid of me!Copy !req
236. Get out of our sight!Copy !req
237. Damn it! How come this...Copy !req
238. ...always happens to me?!Copy !req
239. Yamabiko, you didn't fall ill?Copy !req
240. No. And I hated that more than anything.Copy !req
241. He said that it wasn't the plague that he
brought, but a different "This World."Copy !req
242. A world where mental wounds
manifested as tumors.Copy !req
243. He called that world "Scar Art."Copy !req
244. Yes, this is my art. I'm hoping
to collect many more of these.Copy !req
245. Here, you can touch it. Come closer.Copy !req
246. Come on, don't you want to know why
you're the only one who hasn't taken ill?Copy !req
247. Well, I'll tell you. It's because
This World is a world that you made.Copy !req
248. I hadn't realized it until he said so.Copy !req
249. The power to materialize
what was within my mind--Copy !req
250. that's what my power was.Copy !req
251. At some point along the way, I had
become locked up inside my own shell.Copy !req
252. That's the reason why I alone
didn't suffer from the illness,Copy !req
253. and why, within those parameters,
Kodama's powers were meaningless.Copy !req
254. Whatever is causing the wounds themselvesCopy !req
255. are events happening somewhere
outside of This World.Copy !req
256. You all had to resolve those.Copy !req
257. Then how do we do that?Copy !req
258. You just had to change yourself.Copy !req
259. All you had to do was break
out of your shell and fly out.Copy !req
260. But it's too late now. I'm leaving now.Copy !req
261. I get it.Copy !req
262. I know what you're trying to say.Copy !req
263. But there's nothing that those of us
who have been discarded can do.Copy !req
264. We don't have a choice. You've heard
the voice, too, haven't you?Copy !req
265. Who exactly are you, anyway?!Copy !req
266. Have you forgotten?
We've met before, remember?Copy !req
267. I know you've seen me around.Copy !req
268. In all sorts of places.
And not just once, either; many times.Copy !req
269. There, there, good boy, good boy.Copy !req
270. If only you had a little more courage,Copy !req
271. you could have saved her.
She's been waiting for you.Copy !req
272. So eerily nice, but surprisingly dull--Copy !req
273. this world is you to a tee.Copy !req
274. Well then, farewell.Copy !req
275. Come to think of it,Copy !req
276. I never mentioned, did I...Copy !req
277. ...that my name was War?Copy !req
278. And after I kept
telling him to fly away...Copy !req
279. I did a bad thing...Copy !req
280. If I hadn't helped him, he could have
flown off to a faraway world somewhere.Copy !req
281. I thought I was helping him, when
actually, I was hampering him.Copy !req
282. Yamabiko...Copy !req
283. What is it?Copy !req
284. Will you do anything I ask you to?Copy !req
285. Of course.Copy !req
286. Then, someday, fulfill
the promise you made to me.Copy !req
287. You have to fly away from this place.Copy !req
288. This is not the real world.Copy !req
289. I'm all right.Copy !req
290. Tell me, you'll do that, right?Copy !req
291. I know you're able to.Copy !req
292. After all, you're...Copy !req
293. And so, a single dog was all
that remained in the forest.Copy !req
294. She was right.Copy !req
295. I had plenty of chances--Copy !req
296. chances to save her.Copy !req
297. But I closed my eyes to all of them.Copy !req
298. Her wish was to walk together with me
in the outside world, that was all.Copy !req
299. She waited for me all that time.Copy !req
300. And yet I was unable
to step up and respond.Copy !req
301. Sorry to talk your ears off.Copy !req
302. Yamabiko...Copy !req
303. What is it?Copy !req
304. Can I sleep together with you?Copy !req
305. Remember, you promised.Copy !req
306. Let's walk togetherCopy !req
307. down that road made of
skeleton bones you once told me about,Copy !req
308. while we have some ice cream or something.Copy !req
309. Yeah.Copy !req
310. The two of us.Copy !req
311. Can't sleep?Copy !req
312. Mm-mm. I have a lot on my mind.Copy !req
313. Like, "Why did I do what I did back then?"Copy !req
314. and "Why didn't I do that?"Copy !req
315. After thinking about all those things
that I can't do anything about now,Copy !req
316. I'm no longer sleepy.Copy !req
317. I just wanted to accept the light.Copy !req
318. I was so afraid of losing the lightCopy !req
319. that I ended up not
being able to step forward.Copy !req
320. But I was finally able to take off.Copy !req
321. It took me 5,000 years.Copy !req
322. I wonder if I can do it, too.Copy !req
323. Yeah,Copy !req
324. you can.Copy !req
325. It's Nozomi! Long time!Copy !req
326. You're late!Copy !req
327. This is exactly the time we agreed on.Copy !req
328. Huh?! I've been waiting two weeks since
the day we were supposed to meet!Copy !req
329. Huh? Our clocks are different.Copy !req
330. Oh, you're right.Copy !req
331. The flow of time must have
been different for the two of you.Copy !req
332. There, back in sync.Copy !req
333. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
334. Wow, so all that happened on the island?Copy !req
335. But who was this
"War" guy fighting against?Copy !req
336. His objective was to kill God.Copy !req
337. Hmm? Is that even possible?Copy !req
338. Who knows?Copy !req
339. Even if he were able to kill him...Copy !req
340. I wonder if that would change anything.Copy !req
