[bunniefuu]

This is truer than principles
Discovered by geniuses like XY

You are so captivating
That I can't take my eyes off you

We are merely beings who are just living

But we are beings unlike any other

You make me wonder

Actors caught in a drama
Unaware of the ending

Our "relationship chart" is still blank
And it bothers me

We only want to share laughter
Yet somehow end up hurting each other

It wasn't supposed to be like this

I wonder what principles or clues
Apply to our relationship

A stereo yearning to blend
Like left and right

Could it be love?
I don't know

Are we at odds?
I don't think so

It's a frustrating thing
And I can't even tell if it's real

Just how deep is our relationship?
Why can't it be measured?

I want to know you
I want you to know me

And what's the level of expectation
When we get to know each other?

I know nothing else but the long-sought
Love, and I want to seek it out

You make me wonder

Just beyond words

You make me wonder

EPISODE 6
DIRECT ACTION

A red light means stop.

You don't even know that?

What are you saying?

It's simple logic.

Even if there's no clear division
between red and green,

drivers wouldn't ignore a red light.

Because they know they might k*ll someone.

Even you can do something as easy
as stopping at a red light.

What are you getting at?

The question is
whether or not they feel pain.

I'm saying even if you don't know
if ants or cabbages have a consciousness,

you at least know that cows can feel pain.

Just like how your pet dog can feel pain.

Ozzy Favers Jr.

Don't tell me you think that your dog

won't feel any pain if it's strung up
or sliced into pieces?

You b*stard!

Always in the spotlight, that Charlie.

That's enough, both of you.

Go hash it out in the discussion class.

Hey, let go.

Ozzy.

You okay?

It's probably not my place to say, but…

Maybe you should change your strategy.

Like making your posters more fun

or avoid critiquing
other people's lifestyles.

You won't get anywhere
if no one listens to what you're saying

because you pissed them off.

The hell?

How do you expect me to protest sl*very
without pissing off the sl*ve owners?

Lucy!

We got the teachers.

This is…

Gare, what are you doing?

I got permission to use the quad.

Did he really?

Let's see.

Yes, for a modern art performance.

Art? What part of that was art?

It was political propaganda.

I'm gonna go to the school board!

Just clear this out for now, Gare.

Come to the office when you're done.

Lucy, let's go.

Okay.

Charlie!

How can you act like
it has nothing to do with you?

How can you be friends with humans?

Hey, settle down.

Why…

Humanzee, you're living proof
of the theory of evolution.

Aren't you supposed to speak
for all the voiceless animals?

Charlie!

You're the only one who can bridge the gap

between us humans and animals!

Why does everyone think
I'm something greater than I actually am?

I don't speak for anybody.

I'm just one animal. I'm just Charlie.

Gare, come with us.

Okay, everyone. Return to your classes.

Home confinement, huh?

Gare's gotten himself
into serious trouble.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

I'll give him a good talk tomorrow.

But I don't think what he's doing
is that bad.

What he did at school was wrong, though.

Gare has always been
a timid and kind child.

As his parents,
we need to try to understand him.

Well, he probably regrets what he did.

I'm turning the lights off.

Okay. Good night.

Hey, guys. How are you doing?

Welcome to the Red Pill Channel.

'Sup, Billy. Hi, Suzy.

Not too many people here today.

Because I was late? Sorry.

My parents wouldn't leave me alone.

Okay, so here's what I did this week.

Nothing's wrong. I'm okay.

I'm just miserable
about how powerless I am.

Thanks.

But do you know that quote from Pascal?

"Justice without force is powerless.
Force without justice is tyrannical."

I'm too powerless.

I don't have the power to overthrow
the tyranny we have over animals.

Who are you?

Hey. I've been dying to meet you.

Red Pill Gary.

So, Mr. Feyerabend…

It's Max.

Max, why did you come
to see someone like me?

You've emailed us a bunch of times, right?

I also took a look at your website.

You've written some illuminating stuff.

No, that was all
for my own self-satisfaction.

I've learned something
after what happened in New York.

I've realized taking direct action is
the best way to deliver justice.

It's completely hypocritical to say
that violence is absolutely wrong.

Then what about our founding fathers who
went to w*r with England for independence?

Nobody says they're rotting in hell
because they k*lled so many people.

You're right.

But most of them owned Black sl*ves,

so I can't say they didn't go to hell.

No, what I'm trying to say is…

Future historians will view your actions

as righteous instead of acts of terrorism.

That the ALA is
on the right side of history.

Hey!

Need something?

How long you planning to sit here
with just one order of veggie sticks?

This is a restaurant, you know.

If you ain't gonna eat, leave.

Okay. We were just about to go.

He might remember our faces.

Let's go.

Sorry. I need the bathroom.

So, Major? Isn't he a promising recruit?

Passionate about his ideals, brave,
a stereotypical rookie soldier.

The type to piss his pants

and freeze up the second he sees
blood on the b*ttlefield.

Absolutely useless.

Sorry for the wait.

Anyway, let's go.

The three of you gonna have some fun now?

Have some fun?

I don't care what you do.

But don't hang around here.

I can't breathe
when Blacks stink up the place.

What did you just say?

Well, pardon me.

But here's a piece of advice.

Your sign says,
"Jolly Rainey treats you like family,"

but shouldn't it be "Jolly Rainey
the r*cist treats you like family"?

It'll keep away those customers you hate.

White Man.

Get lost. Right now.

If you don't want your head
to be blown away.

Those guys were shaking in their boots.

Damn woman. Treats me like a sl*ve.

Let's continue our conversation.

Even the heroes who founded
our great country had the wrong beliefs.

What?

Everyone generally lives
within the constraints of their times.

Owning Black sl*ves wasn't seen
as something evil in that era.

Like how people don't think it's wrong
to eat animals in America today.

But thinking that justice changes
depending on the era or culture

is a misunderstanding most people have.

Strictly speaking, justice is something
people become aware of after realizing it.

Don't get it?

Then consider Spartacus.

He was a hero and a sl*ve
who led other sl*ves

into battles against Rome.

His rebellion was seen as
an evil act in ancient times,

but now it just happens to be considered
righteous in the modern era?

No.

Opposing sl*very itself is
what justice is.

But the people of that era
didn't realize it was justice.

Don't. I was wrong. I'll apologize.

But you know, Gare…

That kind of logic is only an excuse.

Telling cattle
who will be k*lled tomorrow,

"Take comfort in knowing that your lives
will one day be seen as valuable,

so die in peace today,"

isn't going to save anybody.

So you should dole out justice
for their sakes.

Right here, right now.

Don't do it.

Okay? Please.

Take me to the hospital.

I won't say anything.

Gare.

What do you think is
the biggest obstacle to our revolution?

The fact that animals can't band together

to object to their unfair treatment.

They can't shout, "Animal Lives Matter!"

That's one of the reasons
why people have ignored

their pain and suffering for so long.

Even if it's the stronger side that wins
the w*r instead of the one that's right,

if it can't announce its legitimacy,

then the w*r can't even begin.

That's why we need a Spartacus.

Someone who can use human language
and speak for all animals.

A leader who has those special qualities.

Charlie? As the leader of the ALA?

Yes.

You're the only one who can wake him up,

Red Pill Gary.

Bye-bye, Jolly Rainey.

Isn't it checkmate?

You sure you only learned
how to play recently, Charlie?

I've even competed
in the junior chess championship!

Crap. I gotta go.

Charlie, see you later.

Yeah, see you.

Hey...

Charlie, don't sit on the desk.

Hey, run! Go! Run!

It's finally starting.

Good. The video is streaming perfectly.

Numerous reports of g*nshots fired
at Shrews High School on 7th Street.

Multiple students have been shot.

All officers report
to the school immediately.

I repeat. Numerous reports of g*nshots.

Phil, isn't that the school…

- What?
- That sounded like a g*n.

That was definitely a g*nsh*t.

No way.

Stay calm, everyone.
I'll go check. So stay here.

What? Police emergency alert?

"Active male sh**ter with a r*fle
has infiltrated Shrews High School."

f*ck! I deleted the emergency alert app.

"Escape outside immediately

or lock and barricade the doors."

What do we do?

We're screwed.

Stay calm.
First, we need to check the situation.

Hey! The sh**ter's live streaming.

The Internet's going nuts.

It really is our school.

Is this stream real?

No. Papa, Mama.

Hey, isn't he heading
towards this building?

We gotta escape!

Through the windows.

We're on the third floor!

Wait! He's gonna be here any second.

We need to lock and barricade the doors.
Don't leave the room.

No way.

He's already here?

Beautiful.
Things are going great, Red Pill.

Let's review the plan.

Charlie will definitely come to stop you.

He has a very simple behavior pattern.

He'll try to treat and save
anyone within his sight.

That will most likely be
his basic course of action.

It doesn't matter the species
or if they are good or bad.

He will count
every living thing as one body.

The only time he'll deviate from that is
when he needs to defend himself.

Think of it as his innate sense of danger

instead of his ideology
or any sense of heroism.

He'll immediately incapacitate you
if he encounters you.

Your r*fle will be as useless as a toy.

So let's trick his sense of danger.

Save… me.

Mama…

I'm dying.

Someone…

That's right, Gare.

You don't need to k*ll more people than
the mass murderers that came before you.

Just buy yourself time.

Leave half-dead victims everywhere.

As you stream their voices to the world.

Those who refused to listen will now hear
the countless screams of the voiceless.

And isn't there one more thing
you need to do?

A mission only you can complete.

No. No.

Mama!

God bless.

You might be the one I'm searching for

Make this moment last for evermore

Starting my day just the same as always

Even when night ends
And then the dawn finds its way

Hey, that's why I rush back into the flow

Facing all these
Super crazy hectic days I know

Singing while it's stabbing my brain

Just like filling up the holes remained

I'll keep on breaking through
Without stopping

Even if insane

Are you sure?

I know it's boring, right?
I pray softly

Even if I live how I want, I'm lonely

Stacking fragile things
That will fade someday

Just same as you
I am also just lonely, fall away

Turn It Up!

There's no way I can stop now

Turn It Up!

Let it sway with a gentle sound

Turn It Up!

Every thought I have of you

Turn It Up!

Riding straight to happiness too
