Mystery Moon in the Night Sky!? Above Ohtsuna City, right beside the actual moon, there is another moon-like thing floating in the night sky. It radiates light just like the real moon, but it is a different color. A meteorological research agency was unable to detect that anything is really there. What the hell is this? The agency will use any means possible to determine what this is, in cooperation with other nations...
Why is that thing after me?
What is it?
It's coming!
Ow...
He's got potential. Don't you think, Chiro?
But it seems that his powers have not been completely revealed.
What do you think? Should we give him a test?
Test?
Let's try it on campus.
What was that thing that came after me?
What's going on in this city?
Was that woman just an illusion?
Square of the Moon: The Night Is Coming!
It gently embraces us
Without averting its eyes in this endless night
Blocking the light that turns pale
Stopping the flow of time brimming with lies
The naked words that were thrown at the world
I'll try to gather them and vindicate them
Happiness cannot happen unless you decide to go after it
The repeated days of giving up
I want to go after you more than ever
It's not sadness but love and courage
Even a flame hints at the beginning of life
Give a reason for minor offense
Oh, hell... two moons and wound
The sudden gust of wind points the path to the sea
Oh, hell to sea
It gently embraces us
Without averting its eyes in this endless night
Killing the souls that turn pale
Wake up from the sleep brimming with lies
Square of the Moon: The Night Is Coming!
Waiting for the blue sky
A train is arriving on Platform 3...
Please stand behind the white line.
Uh, sorry.
Ah, you're Ryo Hamura.
Huh? Do I know you?
I need to talk to you.
Meet me at 8 PM on the rooftop of Building #2.
You got that?
Get up! What do you want from me?
Ow, ow! Don't be so rough!
What're you talking about?
Did she put you up to this?
Well, sorry about that, Ryo Hamura.
We wanted to test your power.
Power? What do you mean?
Your reflexes that helped you dodge those street signs yesterday.
And the speed with which you were able to avoid my attack.
You're using a power that you're not even aware of yet.
A power just like ours.
Yesterday? You mean...
Hey, what are you guys going on about?
Just bring him up.
Ryo Hamura, right?
I'm the head of the Astronomy Club.
Izumi Kagura.
We're asking you to fight with us.
What's with these guys?
Astronomy Club
Well, I don't really understand this.
You're all in the Astronomy Club, but that's just a cover...
and you're actually a band of warriors called "The Kasha."
You come from that blue moon up there and you fight monsters...
like the one last night?
That's very good.
Never met anyone who understood her explanation in one go.
I'm terrible at explaining things.
Uh, Ryo... How about another cup of tea?
Thanks.
There's a lot here, and I just don't know what it all means.
Just let me think about this.
Ryo!
I'm sorry about today.
But can you give us an answer within a week?
If you really don't want anything to do with what we talked about...
we're going to have to erase your memory.
Erase my memory?
Shut up, you ugly nerd!
Stop it. Why let it bother you?
Don't you think it's creepy?
Oh, what am I going to do with you?
That guy doesn't deserve a lover.
Maybe I'll just break them up.
I knew it.
This rain sucks.
It sure does.
Did you hear about the hottie who gets off in the park?
Really?
Come on, Eri! Enough with your text messaging!
Ow!
I think she's in my class.
G-Gotoh, was it?
Hello?
Is this Ryo? It's Izumi Kagura.
Did you have time to think about what we talked about?
Well, I haven't decided anything yet.
I see.
Um, you think you can make it to Tamago Park tonight?
Sure.
I want you to see for yourself what a Light Hunter is.
Here she comes.
Gotoh.
Oh...
Please be gentle.
Oh...
She's been coming here for the past two or three nights.
That's how Light Hunters prey on their victims.
A Light Hunter is drawn to the unfulfilled desires of people...
and they live off of that energy.
Unless we get that Light Hunter off of her soon...
that woman will continue to see the dreams that it projects.
Eventually she will become too exhausted and die.
Please. Fight with us.
I understand. But how am I supposed to fight a monster like that?
You'll need some training in order to use your power...
but let's do it together tonight.
Come with me.
Oh, ancient fire. Your power that banishes the filth like the wind...
Gotoh!
Ryo! This way!
Become a sword to this Kasha...
Izumi!
Ryo! Get out of here!
Izumi! Izumi!
Izumi!
We made it just in time, Chiro.
Ryo...
Thank goodness you're okay.
Thank you, Kyoka.
You're welcome.
I sensed danger in the air around this area.
So I thought I'd check it out just in case.
Well? Do you believe it now? What we were telling you?
Please. Fight with us.
All right. I'll give it a shot.
Oh, ancient fire. Mend the pain of this woman...
Does this mean her horrible memories will disappear?
I don't know.
But this is all that we can do.
What I'm saying is that...
I don't see the motive behind all these arson cases.
The arson cases continue.
A game arcade burns to the ground.
Was it caused by an angry tenant with financial trouble?
The boutique where the fire started is a total loss.
Just think about it.
Even if we were to assume that the Light Hunters are behind all this...
as long as they're feeding off of human desires,
we should be seeing some common threads in where these fires are set.
According to the police, they only hit busy areas where people gather.
I wonder if they can figure out where they'll strike next.
Considering that they are taking extra precautions to prevent fires,
the fact that the damage is getting worse and worse makes me suspicious,
and I guess that the Light Hunters are behind this.
But how could we know the motive of someone they've possessed?
The only place they've announced where a fire started is a boutique.
Even if we were to accept that,
the motives would be the grudges that people had against that place.
But we can't just leave it at that.
For every fire started by the people possessed by Light Hunters,
I'm sure there's got to be a reason behind it.
But I guess we just need more information.
Oh, right... Where are Kyoka and Ryo?
It sure was a great movie.
It was so good, especially after Megat met Tiro the Mute.
What part of this is information gathering?
Yeah. The information gathering begins now.
I did tell you that I have the power of "Satori," right?
Satori people can read the minds of others.
Even when it's all crowded like this.
Who are you?
You have an amazing power!
Just with the fluctuations in words,
you're able to make lovey-dovey couples get into fights.
Excuse me, but are you Manami Miwasaka?
Would you like to join our group?
- What? - What?
We're in the process of going after a serial arsonist.
These aren't normal arson cases.
I'm sure you realize that.
If we can count on your power of words,
I'm sure we'll be able to track down the arsonist.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I never knew I could do something like that with my power.
Oh, come to think of it...
I noticed something as I walked past that boutique last night.
Wow, how pretty.
A woman in red?
Time for the meeting.
I'm sorry, Manami.
We've got a meeting we've got to go to.
I want to hear more about what you saw, okay?
S-Sure.
Kyoka, about that woman dressed in red...
That boutique where the fire took place...
was where a lot of Goths and witch types went.
So, I have this feeling that...
the next one will be on the sixth floor of that same building.
Right. If the Light Hunters have possessed a woman,
I suppose it's possible she'd be after a boutique or something.
I'm sorry!
Ow, ow...
Are you all right?
What's the matter? What are you doing here, Manami?
Kyoka.
I wanted to go after the arsonist, too.
What?
You want to meet that Light Hunter woman and talk to her?
Until now, I've been using my power of words...
for stupid, unimportant things.
But if this power of mine can be of some use...
All right. You can come with us.
Ryo, you'll be responsible for protecting her.
Fine.
Shit!
Ryo! I want you to go ahead to the sixth floor!
All right!
You think they'll be all right alone?
The power of words is a rare and highly effective power.
And Ryo is quite capable as well.
No, stop! Let me talk to her!
Just wait.
I suppose.
Thank you, Ryo.
Everyone possessed by a Light Hunter was once a regular person.
If you want to use the power of words,
maybe you can snap her out of her suffering.
Leave the others to me.
Maybe I can't do this. Maybe it's too much for me.
Wh-What's going on?
There's no end to this!
Shit!
You were lonely.
You were betrayed by someone you loved.
And you abandoned yourself somewhere.
You ran away from everything, and lived all alone.
All alone.
I'm cold... I'm cold... I'm cold...
I'm sorry. How thoughtless of me.
How pretty. It's burning.
It's so pretty.
Can you be satisfied only by burning your past?
Does that give you satisfaction?
You can burn all the places of your past,
but your sad memories will never go away!
They're not strangers!
And they're not family!
Nothing is going to change unless you're willing to change!
Not everyone is good.
But still, even so...
you've got to have more strength!
Unless you can be stronger...
this will go on forever and nothing will change!
There's no end to this, Izumi!
What is this?!
Manami!
Manami...
Ryo, I suppose I could've expected this.
I've done terrible things all the time.
Maybe I deserve to be...
ravaged even more.
Manami!
Are you okay?
Ryo...
Izumi...
Ryo... Manami...
Shit! The door won't open!
At this rate, we're going to be finished!
Ryo... Manami...
Ryo. Thank you.
You're conscious. Thank God.
When I was possessed by the Light Hunter,
I thought I was being punished.
I was toying with people's hearts with my power of words.
I thought that I was going to die here.
It's okay. You just take it easy.
Raisen!
Izumi!
It looks like I made it in time.
Fuck!
Manami!
Ryo!
Is everyone all right?
Thank goodness.
Makoto, you saved us. Thank you.
You have grown weak, Miss.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Who are you?
So you're Makoto Kedoin?
Just like Izumi said, that was an amazing technique.
I wasn't able to save that person.
How could I...
It's not like that.
In the last moments, her face was at peace.
I'm sure that she recaptured her soul at that moment.
A happier fate than continuing to live possessed by the Light Hunters.
It would be nice to think that. Right?
I'm sure that's how it is.
That's what I believe.
We'll meet again soon. Bye.
See ya later, Miss!
More! Fuck me harder!
More! Please, more!
More!
Oh, Haiji! Bite it!
That was great, Haiji...
That's so good...
You're boring me.
There's something stirring inside of me.
