Opening!
Vitals?
JCS three digits. Blood pressure's 60 by palpation.
Secure a transfusion line! Get an EKG monitor!
Yes!
Miss Ryougi! Can you hear me? Miss Ryougi?!
Sorry, but you need to wait out here.
One... two... three!
Line secured!
What're her vitals?
Blood pressure is low but everything else is stable.
Do a cross-match!
Yes, doctor.
Intubation done. Let's do the pre-op.
Miss Ryougi, I'm going to cut your kimono.
What massive bleeding... get extra units of blood.
Yes.
Get a chest X-ray.
Yes.
Is there an OR?
Number two.
It's not just the chest. She's hit in the head, too.
Get Dr. Nakajima in brain surgery.
Yes.
After the X-ray, do a CT scan on her head.
There was no... end...
All right. Let's work on your legs next.
So, this is... death...
As we look with reverence upon our debt to you, teacher...
Glad to have you, Mikiya.
Thank you, Chief Aozaki.
Hmm? What's the matter?
Well... um... you sounded different over the phone.
You mean like this?
Uh... yes. That's...
In this kind of business,
you need to switch back and forth at times.
It's a good luck charm.
I switch if I can see the other person.
Are you trying to make yourself look important or are you playing innocent?
I'll leave it to your imagination.
Room 446 Miss Shiki Ryougi
Kuro...?
Impossible!
Doctor! Hurry, please! Miss Ryougi... Miss Ryougi!
Miss Ryougi, how are you feeling?
Do you feel pain anywhere?
Your case is extremely rare.
I can't believe you regained consciousness! It's a miracle.
I'm so happy for you!
Let me take your pulse.
We'll look at the results of your exam
and plan your rehab.
Let's contact your family for now.
NO VISITORS ALLOWED
Ah! Mr. Kokutou!
Miss Ryougi has regained consciousness.
The thing is... she woke up not too long ago
and she's still confused.
So, only her family members are allowed to see her.
So, have you heard?
A new counselor is starting today.
Must be taking over Dr. Araya's position.
So, today's her first day...
Ah, I'm nervous. I hope she's nice.
That girl will be under her care, right?
Her eyes are okay now?
She didn't lose her eyesight and she's slowly recovering.
Then, "Mr. Puppy" will get to see her soon.
Ah, "Mr. Puppy"...
I'm kind of interested in him, too.
For two years, you know... he's been waiting for two years.
She's such a lucky girl!
Yeah... I want someone to care about me that much.
I'm Aozaki, the speech therapist.
We've been waiting for you. The room is over there.
Hi! How's it going?
Wow, I thought you'd look more haggard,
but your skin is radiant and beautiful.
When I heard about you,
I pictured someone like a ghost under a willow tree, you know.
So, I wasn't too up for it, but... well!
I like a cute girl like you! I got lucky!
How do you do?
I'm Touko Aozaki, a speech therapist.
I've come to help you recover from your aphasia.
Good to meet you.
Who has aphasia?
Don't worry. I know...
it's a misdiagnosis and you don't like to be bothered.
But, it's partially your fault, too.
Your brain was damaged in the accident.
Wouldn't they think you're aphasic if you don't talk?
So, why am I here? It's kind of a long story, but...
Hey, be careful!
I could've been unemployed after a minute!
You...
Yes?
You're not a doctor, are you?
Right. I'm a magus by profession.
I have no need for a magician.
That's so true.
A magician cannot fill the hole in your heart.
Only an ordinary person can.
A hole in my heart?
Yes... You already know, right? You're all alone now.
I guess it was too soon.
That's it for today.
I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
Is Shiki all right?
Yes... for now.
What do you mean, "for now"?
Ooh, it's cold!
Let's have tea upstairs.
Um... Miss Touko...
You're already aware of it? You are all alone now.
She won't lose her life or anything like that.
You shouldn't see her yet.
But, she is all right?
Yes.
I'm coming in.
This place is beautiful...
...and very happy...
...but humans are so lonely.
Please give this to Miss Ryougi.
I'll make sure she gets it.
The self-proclaimed counselor visited every day.
Before I knew it, I'd begun to look forward to talking with her.
I see.
So, SHIKI not only had no control over the body
but he also didn't use it.
It's even more interesting... you two...
There's nothing interesting about dual personalities.
You two are not something so cute as a double personality.
You exist simultaneously.
Each of you has a firm will, but your actions are unified.
I've never heard of a personality so complicated and bizarre.
Let's call it a compound individual personality.
Compound... individual personality?
Right. But there's still a problem with that.
If it's a compound individual personality,
SHIKI doesn't need to be asleep.
You say he used to sleep all the time and that's a little...
His name is the only thing I can't remember...
She's empty.
Her heart is empty.
It's insufficient, like a hole.
But, no matter how much she herself can't feel it,
she is still Shiki Ryougi.
She probably doesn't feel the sensation or life itself just yet...
But the time will come when she'll be able to recognize herself as Shiki.
A rose will be born a rose.
Different soil and water wouldn't change it into a different flower.
Miss Touko...
In short, an empty hole must be filled with something.
Not with memories.
She'll have to create a newly assembled self.
It's hollow and no one can help her.
In short...
You just need to interact with her like you did in the past.
Yes. As long as he is lost,
the lost part of your memory won't return.
What Shiki Ryougi had to do with the serial murders two years ago
is now lost to the darkness.
But SHIKI had no reason to disappear.
What?
Because, if he hadn't said anything, you should've disappeared.
So, I don't know why he chose to disappear for himself.
I don't know.
And how about the scissors?
Oh, the answer's no, of course.
Because of your previous offense, no blades are allowed in here.
But, why do you need scissors?
I wanted to cut my hair.
Shall I bring in a hair stylist?
I'll bring in a really good one to celebrate your recovery.
No.
I don't even want to imagine someone else's hands touching my hair.
Hmm... You're pitiful.
Well, I'm going.
Starting tomorrow, someone else might be here.
We'll see what happens then.
Your resilience has never ceased to amaze me.
You are all right now.
You can be discharged tomorrow.
Congratulations, Miss Ryougi.
And we should be able to remove the bandages tomorrow morning.
One more day...
No...
No!
I don't want to see that world ever again!
I don't want to fall into that darkness ever again!
Hold it!
You're too decisive and act too quickly.
What did you see?
Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, eh?
It'd be a waste to lose them, Shiki.
Even if you smash them,
you'll see what's meant to be seen anyway.
Are you human?
I am a magus.
Touko?
I thought I'd teach you how to use your eyes.
Everything in this world has an open seam. Nothing is absolutely perfect.
Everyone desires to be destroyed and remade from scratch.
Because of the accident two years ago, your eyes can see these seams.
You see the lines that we can't,
You were in contact with death for a while, so your brain understands it.
Therefore, you are able to see death.
Not only that, I believe you can touch death, too.
Well, it's about time you woke up, Shiki Ryougi...
You've belonged by my side from the start, right?
So don't even dream of ordinary happiness or of a normal life.
I don't have a will to live.
Is it because your heart is empty?
You lost SHIKI.
I imagine it would be uncomfortable being reborn as someone else.
But, that's just that.
Look at you!
You have no will to live, but you say you don't wanna die.
You have no reason to live, but you say dying scares you.
You're walking the tightrope over the boundary,
unable to choose between life or death.
No wonder your heart has become hollow.
How dare you talk like you know it all!
See?
You're affected by something that minor because you're vulnerable.
You'd make a perfect vessel for the drifting thoughts in this hospital.
If you didn't wake up, they'd end up killing you.
I don't care.
If "that" wants to fill me,
that's fine by me.
How pathetic!
The Rune's protection is useless, then.
Do whatever you like!
But... did SHIKI really die in vain, Shiki Ryougi?
Did SHIKI really die in vain, Shiki Ryougi?
I will... enter...
In short, an empty hole must be filled with something.
Not with memories.
She'll have to create a newly assembled self.
It's hollow and no one can help her.
In short...
You just need to interact with her like you did in the past.
I'm singing in the rain...
just singing in the rain...
What a glorious feelin' I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds, so dark up above.
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place.
Did SHIKI really die in vain... Shiki Ryougi?
I've a smile on my face...
How could that be...?
Death is so lonely and worthless...
Death is so dark and eerie...
Death was scarier than anything else...
I reject!
Falling in there is the last thing I want!
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain!
Don't hesitate!
Didn't realize it was this easy...
I'm impressed. Are you a cat?
Is that you, Touko?
I enclosed your room with barriers to keep spiritual entities out.
But they acquired physical bodies to break them.
They usually aren't smart enough to do something like that.
It was my error.
Then, YOU do something about it.
10-4!
"fehu uruz thurisaz"
I guess "ansuz" was too weak.
Hey, you're a con artist.
This is kinda tricky.
If he was alive, I could burn his heart and end it.
But that doesn't apply to the dead.
Since he's dead, he won't care if he loses an arm or his head.
If we want to stop him,
we'll need cremation-type fire
or bring in a saintly priest or someone.
Stop making excuses.
In short, it's beyond you.
It's beyond even YOU.
The dead are already dead. We can't kill them.
Let's run for now.
Dead or whatever...
that's a "living" corpse, isn't it? If so...
I'll kill it at any cost!
Shiki!
Out of my way!
You lump of death!
Don't stand in front of me!
You failed to deliver the final blow? You fool!
I won't let you get away...
I will kill my weak self!
I will not allow you to have Shiki Ryougi!
You did it?
Didn't you say...
you'd teach me how to use these eyes?
Sure, under one condition, though.
I'll teach you how to use those mystic eyes.
And, in exchange, you'll work for me.
I don't have a runner. I've been looking for a good one.
All right. Would it let me to kill people?
Yes, of course.
I'll do it, then.
Use me as you wish.
I have no other purpose anyway.
You have no purpose? That's pitiful, too.
You are still mistaken.
Being hollow means you can cram so much in there, you know.
How fortunate you are.
What more could you want for your future?
He disappeared in exchange for... what?
In order to protect... what?
SHIKI... he's gone.
It was probably his dream... his dream of living a happy life,
though he's left me with such deep loneliness...
I like you.
So, I'll see you soon again, Kokutou.
Good morning, Shiki.
Do you know who I am?
Yeah... I knew...
I knew that you were the only one waiting for me
and you were the only one protecting me...
Mikiya Kokutou...
sounds like a French poet's name.
I'm glad it cleared up...
It's perfect for leaving the hospital.
Yeah... So, there's something that won't disappear...
Shards of a dream
that you gave me
lurks in the night that won't dawn.
There are stars nestled together.
One vanished,
and the ARIA of daybreak echoed.
In this rain that won't stop,
I no longer need to watch out for your demon.
The future that lost you
has just begun.
Within the endless love,
the bonfire that you gave me is illuminating
the newborn life in my hollow heart.
Things that have vanished...
and things that remain unchanged...
The ruthless sky shines.
Saying good-bye to each other,
smiling at each other,
and repeating lonesome arias over and over again...
So, until when would a person be alone and be a slave to two?
Your beautiful future
has only just begun.
The kindness, given by you
who doesn't know kindness,
is lighting up the nameless light
in my hollow heart.
Rowing the boat of loneliness,
the bonfires grieve and gather together.
In the hollow world,
countless arias are echoing.
Are you Kirie Fujou?
Are you my father's friend?
I've come to grant your wish.
Wouldn't you like to have another body that you can use at will?
What are you?
What do I do?
I can't go home like this...
What do I do?
Are you Fujino Asagami?
Do you want to be healed?
I will grant it.
I will cure the abnormality in your body.
What are you?
What the hell are you?
I'm a magus... Souren Araya...

Preview of the Next Chapter It's just that I can't stand your very existence.
I killed someone.
The murder of your parents?
November, 1998
Kokutou, do you know the Ogawa Mansion in Kayami Hama?
As you can see, it actually consists of two half-moon-shaped 10-story buildings.
It's very unique.
Are you visiting your parents who are supposed to be dead?
I know I killed her for sure!
The living one has to be fake!
Go check it out.
Face your darkness and call up your name.
What did you do with Shiki?!
The "Supreme Ultimate" is...
Implementing the "Supreme Ultimate" to take in the "Supreme Ultimate".
You took the "Supreme Ultimate" into the "Supreme Ultimate"?
Aozaki!
Paradox Paradigm.
I wish this spiral was a paradox.
