01x02 - I've Found a New Goal

[bunniefuu]

[intense music playing]

[slashing]

[man] Please, don't do it!

I know I'm pathetic,

but I've got a wife,

and and a little girl!

I have a mortgage to pay off!

I have dreams!

Please! You don't have to do this!

- [g*nshots]

- [gasps]

[g*n clatters]

[grunts]

Huh?

[Yuri] Bull's-eye!

Hey, I'm pretty good at this.

Excuse me, can we talk about this?

[man] That That's right,

just talk it over.

Hmm.

[chuckles]

- Huh?

- [man] Huh?

[grunts]

[groans]

[body thuds]

Why don't you take your best shot?

If you can pull the trigger, that is.

[theme music playing]

[Yuri] "I Found It, My New Objective!"

- [whimpers]

- [girl] Hey, sailor uniform.

Huh?

When you aimed, you aimed at me, right?

A damn good shot,

however, you're too kind.

In fact, it's sort of touching

to see someone as kind as you

in a world like this.

Huh? What do

It's too bad though, even if you're nice,

I still have to k*ll you.

[gasps]

[girl] The reason being, that helicopter

only has room for one of us to escape!

Kindness isn't gonna get you

anywhere in this world.

It's just human against human

in this death match.

[Yuri] Was I wrong?

Rika, what should I do?

Do I really have to k*ll this girl?

But

I can't.

Huh?

Please stop this.

There's no way I can fight

in a death match!

I can't do it!

[sobbing]

- [girl] What are you crying for?

- Please, I Huh?

Look at your weapon. You're clearly

at an advantage with that g*n.

All right, fine. Why don't you and I

just call it off for now?

- [Yuri] Huh?

- [girl] Well, it's obvious.

You're not exactly eager to be escaping

from this world, are you?

You see, when humans need to,

they can easily take the life of another.

Just like I'm able to.

[Yuri] She might actually

be right about that.

It's not that she's lost her mind,

it's the opposite.

She's incredibly calm.

[gasps]

And what she said about me is true.

My main goal is to find my brother.

I couldn't possibly escape from this world

and leave him behind.

But

Hey! Do you think you can make this quick?

[girl] The helicopter on the roof

won't wait forever.

[Yuri] A death match between humans.

If those are the rules

of this world, then

the last thing

I'm going to do is follow them!

Very well, I'm going to let you go.

For

[gasps]

[Yuri] Huh?

Behind you!

[g*nsh*t]

[grunts]

- Huh?

- sn*per!

- [g*nshots]

- [Yuri] We need to hide!

[both grunt]

[c*ck]

[Yuri] If it comes down to rapid fire,

I'm in at a much better position.

If sn*per Mask's

only weapon is that r*fle, I can win!

[girl] She just risked her life

to cover me. Unbelievable!

And right after I tried to k*ll her. Also

Listen. If we can just k*ll him here,

things will be easier later. Okay?

[girl] She was crying until a moment ago,

but when the Mask appeared,

her eyes changed.

[g*nshots]

[girl] So she's making her stand here.

- [Yuri] Hey.

- Huh?

Tell me what your name is.

Mine is Yuri Honjo.

[grunts]

I'm, uh

Mayuko Nise.

[tense music playing]

[g*nsh*t]

[both gasp]

NOTICE

GROUND ACCESS IS PROHIBITED

[clanks]

He shot at us by aiming for the knife?

- Oh, crap! What are we gonna do?

- Huh?

[Mayuko] This situation is too dangerous.

[Yuri mumbles]

[Mayuko] I should leave this girl

and make my way to the helicopter.

[groans]

[Mayuko] Ever since I was young,

I've been surrounded by enemies.

My parents included.

That may be the reason I was able to adapt

to a death match

between humans so quickly.

I won't deny that I've k*lled humans

and Masks alike

using any means that were available to me.

Those are just the rules of this world,

and the rules are justice itself.

[grunts]

- [Yuri whimpers]

- [Mayuko] Yuri Honjo.

She's the only one

who's wrong here, not me.

Anyone stupid enough to hold

onto their kindness in this world

has signed their own death warrant.

[grunts]

[groans]

[gasps]

[Mayuko] We should head upstairs for now.

I think I have an idea.

Uh, but but even if I go up with you,

- the helicopter only seats one person

- It's fine.

I have an ace up my sleeve. All right?

I'm gonna use it now for your sake.

[both panting]

[intense music playing]

Hm?

[clanging]

[blasts]

That put an end to him, I'm sure of it.

[approaching footsteps]

The sn*per Mask, I think he's gone.

Was he blown out the window?

Thanks for that.

Hm?

It's just that was

your last weapon, right?

And you decided to use it to help me.

Well, the only reason I did it

was because you saved me earlier.

- [Yuri laughs]

- [grunts]

I knew sh**ting you

wasn't the right thing to do.

Even though you may be a m*rder*r,

you don't seem like a bad person, Mayu.

[Mayuko] This girl's face

is a revolving door of expressions.

But where does she get off

calling me a nickname?

So, anyway, what about the helicopter?

You're gonna let me take it, aren't you?

Hm?

Yuri? Hey, Yuri!

[Yuri] Rika.

- Yuri, are you listening?

- Yes!

So the helicopter then

Mm-hm. Yeah, it's all yours, Mayu.

One thing, if you really

do make it back to the former world

- Here.

- Hm?

Will you give this to my parents?

STUDENT ID

I want you to tell them that my brother

and I are stuck in this bizarre world.

You said "brother"?

So you have a sibling here too?

Mm-hm.

Which is why no matter what happens,

I have to go find him.

Once I do, we'll return home.

Oh, so that's your deal.

I get it.

- You can do it.

- Mm-hm.

So this is goodbye.

Hey, Yuri.

I'm not gonna forget about you. I promise.

[Yuri] I'm not going to k*ll any humans.

I refuse to follow this world's rules.

I'll stubbornly break through

on my own terms,

and when I do,

I'll return home with my brother.

[gasps]

Hey, Mayu! Wait!

Do you have a cell phone

- [muffled groans]

- Shh! Do you hear that weird noise?

[blades whirring]

- Hey, isn't that noise the

- It can't be.

[both] The helicopter?

- [Mayuko] But the sun hasn't set yet!

- [Yuri] We have to hurry!

[sighs]

[cracks]

[eerie music plays]

[sighs]

[sn*per Mask] Oh, man.

[groans]

[grunts]

[whirring]

[intense music plays]

[both panting]

Hey, Mayu! I'm sorry!

I wasted too much of your time!

Don't worry about it.

It was my choice to stick around.

[girls panting]

They shouldn't be able

to take off immediately.

- [panting]

- [helicopter droning]

Huh?

[gasps]

[Yuri] I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!

I I don't get it.

Why does nothing ever go right?

Hm.

- [g*n clicks]

- Hm?

Huh?

Damn you!

[g*nsh*t]

Hold on! Get back here!

Please don't leave!

- Just give it up.

- Huh?

This is how the rules work in this world.

No getting around it.

Disobeying them isn't allowed.

- [Yuri groans]

- [Mayuko] Hey, wait!

[g*nshots]

[Yuri] Huh? They're turning around!

That can't be. There's no way.

You see. Look at that, Mayu.

Now you can ride the helicopter!

- Huh?

- Huh?

- [Yuri] A Mask?

- [Mayuko] An automatic r*fle?

- Are they angry?

- Oh, no!

- Yuri, run!

- [rapid g*nf*re]

[both screaming]

I'm sorry. I ruined everything.

Look, it's like I said before.

I'm the one who chose to stick around.

So I guess I'll just keep living

in this world

until the next pickup happens.

- Mm.

- Besides

maybe I wanted this.

Maybe I didn't truly desire to go back

to the former world either.

I mean if I returned Huh? Hold on, Yuri.

Are you listening?

[Yuri] The helicopter, I think that

it's this world's weak point.

Huh?

[Yuri] My brother once told me that

when your opponent is desperate,

that's when you'll find their weak point.

That Mask, his weapon, his attitude,

- there's no doubt he was desperate.

- Hm.

[Yuri] The ones who are putting us

through these trials in this world,

they couldn't stand to have

that helicopter stolen.

That's true. I bet you're right.

[Yuri] Then I've found my objective.

Obviously, I'll reunite with my brother,

but I'll need someone

to fly the helicopter

and people who can fight.

- I'll need allies.

- [gasps]

[Yuri] Once I do,

we'll take that helicopter.

We'll take the sky itself!

If we pull it off,

we may just be able to crush it.

Crush this joke of a world!

[Mayuko gasps]

She's so ambitious.

Take the sky itself?

That's far beyond disobeying.

It's an invasion.

A high-rise invasion!

Huh?

[grunts]

Huh?

Huh? Hey, Yuri!

Are you okay? Hey!

[Mayuko] Answer me, Yuri! Hey, hey!

PREPARATION ROOM

[water running]

[haunting music plays]

[beeping]

KEEP ONE'S SELF NEA

[sn*per Mask]

Hm. Is it maybe the crack in my mask?

I've regained a small amount

of control over my own thoughts.

But it's still not enough

to defy the Commands.

[crackling]

[boy] Let's see which one of us

will live the cooler way of life.

[sn*per Mask] My memories are still

being controlled by the mask.

I don't know what it was

TO BIG BROTHER, YURI

I'm sure there was something

I was supposed to be doing.

Hm.

- [g*nsh*t]

- [clang]

[g*n c*ck]

[g*nsh*t]

[exhales]

[sn*per Mask] Son of a b*tch.

Is this crack in my mask mean

I'm gonna start being attacked

by other Masks?

This could be trouble.

Having opponents who can deflect b*ll*ts

Well, at least I'll have fun.

[school bell rings]

[Yuri] Oh, yeah. That reminds me.

Looking back, this may have all started

because of that thing I saw

when I was at school.

Mm. Hm? Huh?

[Yuri] What is that?

It was a tower much taller

than the Skytree.

It was like it was reaching

to the heavens.

I saw it in the former world.

Then, before I knew it,

I'd come to this ridiculous world.

How does that add up?

This really is crazy.

[Yuri moans]

[gasps]

No way.

Hold on! How long was I asleep for?

Mayu!

She's gone?

Hm?

Did Mayu leave these here for me?

[grunts]

Wow, perfect fit.

But these boots are

from the dead girl downstairs.

Still better than being barefoot, though.

[Yuri] The g*n is gone.

I wonder if Mayu took it

in exchange for the boots.

How awful of her,

and after we'd finally become friends.

No, she didn't do anything wrong.

It's not like Mayu

ever said we were friends.

Everyone's just watching out

for themselves here.

Now I'm alone again.

[gasps]

Is that

a Mask?

Huh?

[chuckles]

[wailing]

[toilet flushing]

[sighs]

Huh?

[Mayuko] I took my eyes off her

for one second.

[panting]

[gasps]

[Yuri] It's dark! I can't see!

This is bad, really bad!

I'm okay. This isn't as scary

as last time.

Not even close!

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[intense music playing]

[Yuri] Now there are three Masks?

I have to get a little more distance.

It worked! They weren't able to see

the cut I made with the scythe

because of how dark it is right now.

[gasps]

[intense music continues]

Huh? Is he saving her?

- There's camaraderie among Masks? What?

- [Afro Mask laughs]

[continues laughing]

[laughing]

[thud]

[Yuri] No. The Masks don't care

about each other at all.

I've already fired

a total of five shots with this g*n.

There's only one shot left.

I should k*ll this guy here and now!

- I'm not going to miss!

- [g*n barrel clicks]

Huh?

[plank creaking]

[Yuri] That's right.

Rika told me about this before.

He said that police g*ns

aren't made very reliably.

I forgot!

[heavy breathing]

Stay calm, stay calm.

What's my next move

after crossing the bridge? Think!

[grunts, groans]

[whimpering]

[Yuri] Stay back.

I said stay back!

[Masks chuckling]

[Yuri] It's over. I'm going to be k*lled.

Huh?

[Yuri gasps]

Mayu!

You came back!

You good, Yuri?

Mm-hm.

Sorry if I end up hitting you.

If you what?

I'm a pretty poor shot with this.

[grunts]

[g*nshots]

[shrieks]

[g*nshots]

- [g*n clicking]

- It's empty.

- [Afro Mask laughs]

- [grunts]

[body thuds]

[laughs]

- [Afro Mask laughs]

- Stay back!

[grunts]

[groans]

[chuckling]

Huh?

Die.

[g*nshots]

[Yuri] Mayu must have known that I had

a spare magazine in my pocket.

That's why she passed me the g*n.

That just goes to show,

I'll find no shortage of allies

in this world.

Hey, Mayu, um, that's

[Mayuko] Hold on. He's still breathing.

[Afro Mask grunts]

[chuckles]

Mm.

You're never supposed to look

at the back of a mask!

Hey, what are you doing, Yuri?

Uh, it's just that there's something

I wanted to ask him.

[groans]

Hey, girl. I can see your panties.

[Yuri gasps]

[both groan]

- [thwacks]

- [Afro Mask groans]

Tell me about the mask.

Tell me what happens

if you see the inside of one?

[groans]

The moment you look,

it's like you're instantly living

in a dream.

[Afro Mask] Try to disobey, and you'll

just end up following the commands.

Yeah, but won't you return to normal

if you take it off?

[Afro Mask] It isn't possible.

The brainwashing,

or rather, the brain hacking,

if you can call it that,

it won't allow you to return.

[Yuri] Then, the one

who's giving the commands,

what goal could they possibly

[Afro Mask] This world is

[breathes heavily]

- This realm is

- [controller] Take your own life.

- [groaning]

- Die, die, die.

You must You must die

You must die immediately.

You must die at once.

Hurry to your death.

It is time for you to die.

[Afro Mask chokes, groans]

[girls gasp]

What was that?

[Yuri] Where are we?

What the heck is this world?
