Makoto. Seems like it's come back to you, too. What happened here, ten years ago. That's right. I've been within you all this time. Every time you took
out a large Shadow, I would recover a part
of myself within you. Aegis! Makoto. Aegis. How did this happen? It all came back to me. Including the reason
why I wanted to be near you. I'm sorry. I'm afraid. What's going on? I'm sure you already know. Tell me, Ryoji! That's my temporary name. Ryoji! I'm not even originally human. Ryoji Mochizuki! -
There they are!
- Yuki! What's going on?
What happened here? - You guys...
- Aegis! - How terrible.
- Why did this... What happened here? We thought we were pursuing
a Shadow reaction. But you're... Ryoji? Why are you... It's the Dark Hour right now, isn't it? The Shadow reaction...
it's coming from Ryoji! You've got to be kidding.
Ryoji can't be a Shadow. To be precise, I'm not. I have evolved
one step above the Shadows. I'm the Appriser, born when
all twelve Arcanas are reunited. After you def
eated the final Shadow,
didn't you hear the bells ringing? That was when everything
was determined. Determined? What was? The Fall. That form! Ryoji was actually a Shadow?! Fight back! Our target is the Shadow
right in front of us! Damn it! Looks like we have to do this! Unfortunately, there is no way
you can ever touch me. Allow me to show you.
Just a glimpse of my power. Oh no... Run! Rest assured. I don't intend to take
your lives right now. I just wanted you to know. No one can resist the Fa
ll. What the hell... You're going to destroy the world, and you're saying
there's no use fighting back? That's not funny, you know that? I'm just the Appriser. Drawn by my existence,
the maternal being will begin to awaken. Maternal being? Her name is Nyx. And when she descends,
the stars will be flooded with pure death and all life will be extinguished. The hour of the Fall
is approaching relentlessly. You can't stop it. The next spring will not
come again to this world. However, I can give you
a choice. Even if you can't escape death, you can still live your lives
without suffering until that day comes. You just have to kill me. Makoto, the only one who can do that... ...is you. If the Appriser is eliminated, all your memories
of the Dark Hour will be wiped out. In other words, you can delete this
hopeless reality from your memories. Spending your last days in fear,
waiting for inevitable death. That couldn't be more dismal. I don't want you guys
to go through that. Makoto, I existed
within you
for a long time. It may not be much,
but I do have a shred of humanity. Normally, I'm as impervious
to death as Nyx, but I'm sure you can kill me. Only you can do it. No need to decide right away.
There's still a little time. December 31st. That's Judgment Day. On that day, I'll appear
before you again. See you. IWATODAI STATION The snow's starting to pile up. It somehow seems so quiet.
The school as well... It's like this wherever you go. Pretty depressing... honestly. Fuuka? Hey, Y
ukari... Do you really think
there's nothing we can do? I don't know. Nobody can possibly know. What a bunch of slackers!
Another lame turnout today? Hatano and Tsuji were absent today.
They said they're under the weather. Is it going around? I'm going home now, too. What? But why? H-Hey! TATSUMI PORT ISLAND NAGANAKI SHRINE Teacher? No cause has yet been found for the apathy-inducing malady
sweeping the world, Experts are leaning toward
the view that it's not a virus or patho- I dug through the
research papers
in my father's library again, as well as the reports
Ikutsuki left behind. Just as I'd suspected, Ikutsuki got close
to the truth about Nyx and the Fall. So, that means it's true, right? What he said about humans and animals...
all of us are doomed to die. Just as Ikutsuki said, my grandfather,
obsessed with the philosophy of the Fall, began collecting the Shadows en masse
because he knew it would lead to the awakening
of this entity called Nyx. But that process was interrupted,
by Yukari's father. As a result, the collected Shadows
were split into twelve Arcanas and Death manifested
in an incomplete form. Then Aegis fought him
and managed to seal him away. Yes... ...within him. I wonder if it was fate... that brought Yuki back to this city? I don't know. that Ikutsuki was behind it. Either way, with his return, the scattered Shadows awakened
and are making their move. So all this time, we were inadvertently
helping the Shadows become one. Weren't we? Is there really no
thing we can do? Nyx seems to be the incarnation
of death and harm itself. If that's true, then I really don't think
we can overpower it. Either die like this, or forget
everything and die an easy death. Are those our only choices? Mr. Sanada, have you decided already? I don't know. What about you, Junpei?
Is your mind made up? Nope. What's wrong?
Hey, are you scared or something? What kind of attitude is that? - Junpei. We're talking about dying!
Why wouldn't I be scared? How can you guys be so
calm? Have you thought about
what it means to die for sure? Junpei, please calm down. You're being unsightly, Junpei. Why are you playing it
so cool, Mr. Sanada?! - Iori!
- Tell me like you always do! "We're only here to fight," or,
"We can't run away from this." It's not like you!
What's got you so spooked? - Stop it, Akihiko!
- Mr. Sanada! If I can deal with it by fighting it,
of course I'd fight! But take a look! Even as we speak, the world
is marching toward destruction. Thanks to a power w
e can see
and know nothing about! How are we supposed to fight
something like that? What the hell can we do? So you are spooked, after all. Just stop! Don't say it like that! What do you want to do, Iori?
Will it make you feel better to kill it? To kill... Ryoji Mochizuki? There's nothing I can do. And I hear he's the only one
who can kill him anyway. I mean, it's all your fault, isn't it? You had that monstrosity inside you
and you never even noticed. - You raised it, didn't you?
- Stop it, Jun
pei! Do something about it!
You're "special," right? Sorry. Back off, Junpei! It's not Yuki's fault! If he hadn't harbored it all this time,
we wouldn't be here right now! Damn it. I know that, but still. Even still! Junpei. I can't take this anymore.
Just stop this, will you? We're all just as scared as you. Fuuka. Me too. I never thought I could be
as scared as I am now! It's just as you say, Junpei. I'm scared, too.
I'm so scared, I can't help it! Sanada-senpai. In a few months,
you won't be
alive anymore. There's no one who can accept
such a thing calmly. For me, too. I have to act
like I'm glossing over things objectively, or I might go insane. How could any of us be OK?
Even me... You guys... Good morning... Makoto. I see. So that's what happened afterward. Ryoji really seems to have vanished. Yamagishi can't even detect him. Probably the next time
we'll see him is December 31st. What Ryoji called "Day of Decision." Um... please cheer up. Well, that might be impossible.
With our
current situation, at least. I'm sorry. On that day,
ten years ago. if I... If I hadn't done such a thing,
you wouldn't have had to suffer so much, It's not your fault, Aegis. So you remember
what happened ten years ago. Yeah. What happened that day
on the bridge... In that moment,
she said something at the end. And then she smiled. I wonder why she smiled. Since I'm a machine, I don't understand
anything about human hearts. But I believe that humans have a program
for protecting their sensitive
hearts. And that is to forget. I have a favor to ask you. On the 31st, when he arrives... Please, take his life. Aegis. for all of you to continue in pain
and suffering, I can't bear it. If your memories will be so painful,
I want you to choose to erase them! So please... Are you telling me... to kill Ryoji? There was a pink alligator living in a jungle.
Because of the color of his body,
the jungle dwellers hated him.
Also because of his body color- Hey, Koromaru. I wonder
what it feels like wh
en you die. Of course you don't know. Since the people who know the answer
aren't around anymore. What's wrong, Koromaru? Hey. Koromaru? NYX RELIGIOUS GATHERING Th-This is... . Is this the place? That Amada told us about? Looks like it. Let's go. Our own high priest, Takaya,
said so himself! In this world awash
with hatred and anxiety, Nyx will descend to lift us
into a brand new stage! We must readjust our perceptions! What the hell is this? . All the more so when you're unsure
of what tomorrow
will bring. Meaning it's our duty to guide them. Toward this Fall Nyx will bring. What the hell are you guys planning? Death is like a neighbor
who is always with us. Right now, I'm sure
you can understand this all too well. How impossible it is to avoid Death. And that's what makes Nyx
a celebration. She visits everyone on equal terms. That's right.
She'll come to us, as well as to you. Is that your reason
for accepting Nyx's Fall? When people learn the reason to live,
Only then can they face
death. But every last one of us
has forgotten that. The world is bursting
with such feelings in this era, so Nyx has arrived, highly sought after. And yet, do you intend
to continue putting up resistance? TODAY'S BROADCAST IS NOW OVER. CONTINUALLY GROWING
APATHY-SYNDROME Next up... TODAY'S BROADCAST IS NOW OVER. In the first place- Do you think those two are okay? Isn't it too late to look into
what Strega is up to now? Well, they need to be
doing something to stay calm. Yukari? Yukari! - Are yo
u all right?
- Hang in there. It's nothing. Is she really okay? Yukari hasn't eaten anything in two days. I can't eat much myself. Food doesn't taste good at all
when you're not having fun, huh? He said spring
wouldn't be coming, right? Then when will it end?
I wish it would just end right away! What's up with him?
Taunting us out of nowhere. You wanna get killed? That didn't hurt at all. Compared to Sanada-senpai,
you're pretty lame! Hey, did you know? You, and you, and you, and you! You're goi
ng to die soon. - Huh? What did you say?
- Hey, let's go. This dude's crazy. How annoying. What the hell?
Weren't you going to kill me? So wiped. CLOSED Seems like they're closed. Well, this blows. If I were to treat you,
I thought it should be here. Why, all of a sudden? Our pick-up bet in Yakushima. Our target may have been Aegis,
but you beat me. Since I lost, it's my duty to treat you. And besides... it's the last time. I don't want to leave loose ends. We'll just look for another
restaurant
that's open. Let's go. It's not like you to be this way. You give me too much credit. Yukari, you're in there, right? The door's open. Yamagishi asked me
to give this to you. She finished recovering
all the video data your father left. She also restored the parts
we couldn't see before. I see. Fuuka could have
brought it to me herself. I heard from Yamagishi
that you haven't been eating lately. - I know how you feel, but you should-
- If that's all... ...would you mind leaving now? Yukari. I'm
sorry, but I don't feel like
talking to anyone right now. I see. Sorry about that.
I'll leave the data on your desk. What's the use of seeing
something like that now? When I die, I wonder if I'll see dad. Io... but why? No... No! IWATODAI STATION Malnutrition and excessive tension
leading to hyperventilation. They say she'll recover in no time
if she gets enough rest and nutrition. But... What is it? Just before she lost consciousness,
Yukari told me she was attacked
by her own Persona. - But th
at can't... No, it was probably an illusion. But Personas are summoned by
confronting death, one's darkest part, If Yukari has fallen into a state
of apathy for life and death... So it's possible to be attacked by a rampaging Persona
with a will of its own. CLOSING CEREMONY - Junpei? - I'm giving it to you, just take it! Listen. I'm sorry for making it sound like
it was all your fault that day. That was totally lame of me. No one wants that to be their last thing. That's why I wanted to apologiz
e. I mean, I'm still really scared. And I wanted to hide that from myself
by lashing out at you. It's only natural to be scared.
For any of us. I guess you're right. Still, you're the only one
who can decide what to do. Whatever you decide,
I won't resent you. Me or everyone else. I just wanted to tell you that. See you. Happy New Year! These clothes are assembled
in an interesting way. But they're a bit hard
to move around in. Anyway, aren't you cold? Why would we be? - Mr. Junpei said you aren
't wearing any-
- Amada! Look you! Not wearing any...? Whaaat? You're unbelievable! Mitsuru-senpai, Sanada-senpai,
congratulations on graduating! It'll be your turn next year. It will be, huh? There! I said on my count! Oh, my. Come on, you guys!
flash your best smiles, like mine! Here we go! Nah, not happening! Live. You look as if you just had a nightmare. Good evening. The outside world? TATSUMI EAST POLICE STATION Yes. I've had a keen interest
in it for a long time. If you don't mind, I'd li
ke to ask you
to take me on a tour. I thought it would be
a nice change of pace for you. Fine. Thank you very much. So the festival dances
dating back to ancient times have been incorporated into daily life? However, this might look like the same simple moves
on an endless loop, but it does require
a significant amount of skill. You're really good. It's the fruit of my intensive training. Would you like to dance one round? Like I said before, I think it would be
a suitable change of pace for you
. No, I'm good. Is that right?
Then, on to the next stop! This is the place where you learn,
as well as Tartarus' daytime form. Gekkoukan High School, is it not? I see. I see. I see. One can gaze upon the entire city
from here. What a delectable spot. I can't see anything. Not at this moment, you can not. On to our next stop! UNDER CONSTRUCTION There is a pitfall! It's just under construction. This delightful fragrance...
It must be! Enveloped in this springy outer sphere,
this unique texture is
, without a doubt... Certainly, to encounter it as food! I quite surprised myself. This playground equipment,
rising before the altar. It appears to be bursting
with a generosity of spirit that has dispensed
with any outward gravitas. Yay! In order to... ...enjoy this, one must first climb
as high as one slides down. It silently instructs us
regarding providence. What a profound piece of equipment! I cannot get out. Now this is... My balance. This is exceedingly... difficult! You look like you'r
e having fun. Yes, very much so! Thank you for humoring me today. The next stop will be our last. The school dorm? Yes. I wanted to see
the place you reside. What? During my tour through this world,
I've come in contact with many things. I've gone to your school,
strolled through the city, enjoyed a meal and played like an innocent child
at a shrine. All of them have become
unforgettable memories. They're like sparkling gems. Why did I feel as fulfilled as I did? The answer,
I believe, is "actua
l experience." Actual experience? Through my contact with guests,
for the first time, I learned about the outside world
and I can give it meaning. And now that I've made a connection
with you, I have acquired it. How was it for you? Spending one year in this place? A lot of things happened. . I see. Is something the matter? - Where? To the place where it all began. For a place whose owner
passed away, it's kept clean. Father... I... Koromaru. Mr. Aragaki used to make you food
all the time, in th
at bowl. You want me to make it? I can't do that.
I'm no replacement for Mr. Aragaki. Can't do it. I said I can't do it! Mr. Aragaki's not here anymore!
And soon, we won't be either! Sorry to email you out of the blue,
But I just had to let you know
the truth, Natsuki,
You may not believe me,
but we're all going to die soon.
So I'd like to see you one last time and talk, How can I send something like this? TATSUMI PORT ISLAND STATION Ten years ago, ever since that accident. I don't think I was r
eally alive. But after coming to this city,
and spending time with my friends... That's how, for the first time... I think I was able to start living. This way. That is an extremely valuable wine
made on the year you were born. The year I was born? Yes. It was his dream to drink that wine
with you when you grew up. The late master often spoke of that
when he was alive. Father said that? Father! NATSUKI
MESSAGE SENT What should I do? Empty texts are annoying, you know, If you're brooding, tell me
anything,
Because you and I are always connected, Natsuki! Live for what lies ahead of you... huh? Pretty strict of you, Mr. Aragaki. Since living is just as hard as dying. I have to say, you're as much
a meddler as ever, Shinji. In that case, watch me until the end. I'll struggle in vain for you, too! I'm probably not going to make it. One last thing... before I go... Who ever is watching this,
if you see my daughter... If you see Yukari...
I want you to tell her... Getting to spend my life wi
th you,
made me the happiest man in the world. I love you, Yukari. Please, take good care of yourself. I know, Chidori. I've got to live
for the both of us, right? You have acquired the answer,
I may presume? Right now, you just might arrive
at the Answer to Life. Answer to Life? Are you aware? An Arcana is an entity that reveals
one's entire life. Those who have taken possession of them,
and said to have truly lived, are able to arrive at the answer. Possibly you would be able to... Now then, t
he banquet is in full swing,
but I must soon be on my way. Also, one of the reasons I came here today
is because I am piqued by this world. The other is because I wished to see
the value of life with my own eyes. I see. Satisfied? Yes, very much so. I see. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
And now, good day. I'm sorry to have made you all worry. Thank goodness, Aegis! You're back to normal.
We were so worried. Since I'm a machine,
if I were to break down, all you'd need to do is rebuild
me. Come on, no need to talk
about yourself like that! Where's Makoto? Soon, the day will come to an end. Hey. Long time no see. Yeah, I guess. Brings back memories. We used to sit here
and talk like this all the time. Yeah, we did. Well, I didn't look like this back then,
and I went by a different name, You're still the same. To me, at least. Am I? Pretty soon, it will be midnight. Once it's past that time,
I'll lose this physical form and turn into an entity
intangible to everyone. That's why
this is the only chance
for you to make the final decision. Kill me and relinquish
your memories of the Dark Hour, or else cower in fear
as you await your death. Now, make your choice, Makoto. I... I'm not going to kill you, Ryoji. Makoto, you still have a little time. Make the right choice. didn't you? I'm not human. My only purpose for existing
is to bring death to this world. Ryoji. This is your last chance,
forged out of the bond you and I shared. Please think it over carefully, Makoto.
I'm
begging you. I've already thought it over. I want to live some more. I don't want this world
to come to an end. No matter how impossible that may be! I see. So that's your choice, then? Yeah. You sure are stubborn, Makoto. You think so? Hey guys, long time no see. If you came down together,
then that means... Right? Wouldn't want it any other way. I feel the same way. Me, too. Aegis! It's no use, Aegis. Makoto is the only one
who can kill me. Aegis. But why? But I asked you to choose to forget!
I... I don't want to see it! All of you, scared and suffering! That's why I wanted you to choose
to erase your memories. It's unfortunate,
but there's nothing you can do, Aegis, No matter what you say to him,
he won't listen. I want to respect Makoto's decision.
I won't be meddling any further. Which means I need to tell you
how you're all going to meet Nyx. I'll say it again: Nyx can't be defeated. If you still wish to face her,
you'll have to head over... to the top of Tartarus. Tartarus. Tha
t's where we'll find Nyx? One month from now, on January 31st. On that day,
Nyx will descend Tartarus... ...and the world will end. January 31st. The day the world will end. It won't come to an end. That's why we must fight! Is that right? I should get going now. Since I'd rather say goodbye to you
while I'm still in this form. Thanks, Ryoji. Don't say that. There's no reason
for you to thank me. Farewell, Makoto. Farewell, Ryoji. Happy New Year! Hey! Aegis! What's going on? I do not understand.
Hey, where are you going? We have to get her! Aegis! Let's go home, Aegis. I am unable to defeat Ryoji...
to defeat Death. A machine that can't fulfill its duties
has no reason to exist. Aegis, do you really think that's OK? That's a pointless question. After all, I'm a machine
devoid of emotions. That's not true. Would a machine
devoid of emotions feel scared? Well... You don't want us to suffer. Isn't that your heart, Aegis? You're... wrong. You're not a machine.
Aegis, you're just like us- I
'm telling you, you're wrong! I'm nothing but a machine! No matter how strongly
I feel about everyone, I can't even shed a single tear. So it's all right. Such a useless machine... ...should just be ended now. And yet, I still want to be by your side. The reason I wanted to stay near you
was to fulfill my mission, to be able to keep an eye on Death. But it's so strange. Even with Death gone, I still... There's a lot of snow on the ground,
so we can't really see it now. I wonder if the cherry blo
ssoms
will bloom in the spring. I can't really remember
how it was last year. Makoto. This time, I want
to make sure I remember. So... Let's go see them together.
The cherry blossoms. I just realized something now. I'm a machine
who's been ordered to live. And it was myself who gave that order. My reason for existing...
I might not have one. Even so, I want to see
what it's like to live. Together, with you. Yes, together. Hey, there they are! Thank goodness! We were worried about you! You guys r
eally make us work. Everyone. So glad we found you! Are you all right, Aegis? Yes, I'm fine now. What was that eye contact just now? Something happen between you two? . I guess we're back to normal now. . . Seems like it. . . Is it really going to be OK? . Everybody. I'm going to join you
in making a stand against Nyx. . But by defeating Nyx, we'll also be
eliminating the Dark Hour. Does that mean all our memories
of the Dark Hour will get wiped? So we'll even forget about
moments like this, too
? Not just what happened here. We'll probably forget
why we met in the first place, too. The fact that we fought together,
and all the time we spent together. We're going to forget it all, then? We won't forget. Even if we lose them,
we'll get them back. Our memories of each other. Makoto. All right! How about
we promise each other now? To meet up again after the battle? That's a good idea!
Why don't we pick a date now? Right. When should we meet? Why don't we make it Graduation Day?
The day the
senpais graduate! Pretty sharp of you, Ms. Yukari.
That'll be easy to remember! All right, that's settled.
We'll meet on Graduation Day! What about the place we'll meet? The place. So beautiful. When spring comes, the whole area
will be festooned with cherry blossoms. Wow, I really want to see that.
With all of you. Let's promise each other, No matter what happens, we're going to meet up again, right here. No matter what! Shadow readings are on the rise! There's no end to this. Yuki, Akihiko, A
egis. You go on ahead! You too, Junpei! - Don't get killed, Yukari-cchi! Who do you think you're talking to? We've been waiting for you. We were sure you would show up. Strega. By fighting Death,
you've obtained the Answer to Life. Therefore, I was able
to envision your arrival. But not everything will go your way. Cut the crap.
You're going to let us through. I won't let you. - Machine Gun!
- No you don't! It's too late. Sorry Yuki. You go on ahead! I won't let anyone go beyond this point. Go,
Makoto! I got your back, alright? I won't let him go! I won't let you get in Makoto's way! I won't let you- Fine. Orpheus! I bring you Megidolaon. Thanks. Here it comes. Ryoji. That was my temporary name.
Not that I didn't like it. I existed only as the harbinger of death. But now I've been
incorporated with Nyx, so I am one and the same
as Nyx herself. Makoto, I'm sure
you've already sensed it. What kind of entity I am. Something that's been promised
to all forms of life. Something that can't b
e resisted. Makoto, knowing that, would you still... Persona. The moment man devoured the fruit

Death awaits you. Enemy readings still on the rise! You need to realize something. The stupidity of trying to fi
ght
the Fall even now. Stupid, did you say? If it's not stupid,
what would you call it? Try to remember. Who worked so hard to defeat
the Shadows and resurrect Nyx? Your goal was the exact
opposite of ours, and yet even you unwittingly
had a hand in this. This is, so to speak, a consensus. Makoto. You were supposed to understand
more than anyone else... who I was. And I'm sure you're terrified
by how absolute I am. And yet... Why am I trying to resist? I don't want to... ...hurt you, huh? That's
so you, Ryoji. Even so, I... Come on. Persona! Yukari. You can still go, right? Right back at you, Mitsuru-senpai.
Hang in there. Of course I will. We can't let ourselves get stuck
in a place like this! That's right! So we can
fulfill our promise to everyone! in a sense. But! I have no reason to follow some fall
that descended on its own. Wh-What? No matter how deep the despair,
you never give up. That is what makes a human's... ...soul so strong! So you're going to resist
the Fall no matter wh
at. Only a small number of enemies left! Enemies, annihilated! Alright, let's catch up
with Yuki and the others. Takaya! We're going to live!
And you can do crap about it! We're going to end this now, Strega! Damn it! We can't let it end like this! Jin! Let's go! Is this... Is this... my hesitation? No! Makoto! Did you do it? No. Close. That was really close. To understand destiny, and still attempt
to fight it head-on. A will that strong. If more people had such a soul, the Fall might never hav
e come about. But, now it's too late. Th-The moon... What is that? No way. Is that its main body? It will fall soon. At this location. What is that? Amazing! The moon! Just like the prophecy said! It really is here. The end of the world really is here! Fuuka. At last, it's coming.
The end of this world. I wish we could've seen it through
to the end, Jin. Something's coming! What is this thing? A powerful gravity wave! Don't think that's enough... ...to steal a knock down from me! It's futile. -
This is...
- What? Shadows? This many of them? Makoto! I can't let it end! Everyone... Even if it costs my life! So you arrived at it, haven't you? The Answer to Life. You found something
that's irreplaceable. Something you want to protect,
even if you have to sacrifice yourself. Now that you've found your answer,
you're qualified to obtain a miracle. And that power will make
any impossible thing possible. But are you sure that's what you want? Alright. Makoto? Live. - What's-
- What is this? Co
me back here! - Wait!
- What are you thinking? Mr. Yuki! Don't go! Makoto! If harboring Death was your fate, then acquiring the power
of the Wild Card was also your fate. You must accept your own fate now. Even if you're all alone,
you're not lonely by any means. Can you hear their voices? Mr. Yuki! Don't let it end like this, OK? Yuki! No matter what happens,
you and the rest of us are one! By itself, each one is a minuscule power. But, without a doubt,
they're all directed towards you. Have th
ey reached you, I wonder? Please, give Yuki our strength! The strength to stand up to the Fall! Yuki! If you don't come back,
I'll never forgive you! Please, give him our strength...
Our hopes to Yuki! Don't be the only one looking cool! I'm coming right now, so hold up! You remember our promise, don't you? Promise me, promise you'll come back! For both myself and you,
this is the last power. The power that started it all,
as well as the power that will end it all, What you've acquired
is the po
wer of the Universe. Literally, space itself. By now, any realization
is not a miracle to you. We will soon reach the top floor. Your contract has now been fulfilled. My job is now over. You were the best guest I ever had. Where are we? We were enveloped by light. Before I knew it, we're in this space. We're alive, right? Where's Yuki?
What happened to him? When the light enveloped us,
he completely disappeared. There's no sign of him anymore. - No way.
- Mr. Yuki. Why am I so powerless? Why can
't I protect the one I cherish? After I've come this far
just for that purpose! Don't worry. I'm going back to sleep out here in space, This time, things will go back
to normal for sure. For you, and for him, too. You mean... He's found the Answer to Life. He was one step ahead of you
in finding it, That's all, really, Answer to Life. Aegis. You're going to find it
eventually, too. You've already become
an irreplaceable life, For everyone, that is. Soon, the Dark Hour will vanish
from this world
, Everyone will exit this hour
in the true meaning of the word, Your life calendar will resume and go on, Congratulations, The miracle... has been carried out. . This time, it's our turn
to take the entrance exams. Last year was great, wasn't it? We didn't have to think about anything. Right, because you don't think
about anything 365 days a year. Now, now. But I have to say, unlike third year, second years don't have anything urgent
that you have to do, like a mission. Yeah. If anyone asks what
I did
last year, nothing pops up! How about you, Yuki? What was the past year
like for you here? Well, nothing really life-changing
happened, just ordinary, huh? Well, more or less, right? I thought I saw a girl
looking at us just now. Someone you know? No, not anyone I know. - Look at the time!
- Oh shoot! Hurry! The cherry blossoms at the front gate
are in full bloom, and the breeze going by
is filled with hints of early spring. On this momentous day,
it is truly an honor to hold . . Where di
d he go? We meet again. Welcome back. Makoto. Continuing on, our valedictorian's speech. Representing today's graduates,
from Class D, - Mitsuru Kirijo.
- Yes ma'am. That Yuki! He totally bailed on us! Hey! - Be quiet, will you?
- Alright. My last year at this academy saw me taking on what I found
to be a significant role. To fulfill my duties
as student council president, I pondered, and stated something to you
on this stage one year ago. We shouldn't avert our eyes
from the fact that the futur
e is finite. Now that I think of it, the opportunity
that allowed me to ponder this may have been fate. Some may already be aware, but last year I lost my father
to illness, and... The breeze feels nice, doesn't it? I finally understand now. The end that will surely come. Only those who were able to face
the truth that it will come to them will be able to find it. What it is that proves you're alive. I have found it, too. My reason for living,
my purpose for living. I... I want to go on protecti
ng you, forever. I want to lend you my strength. That's what it means to me, to be alive. You must be exhausted. You should get some rest now. I'll always be here for you. You'll be seeing the others soon, too. You have nothing to worry about. I'll always be by your side,
protecting you. Hey! Makoto! - Yuki!
- Yuki! Yuki! Mr. Yuki!
