[tense music plays]

[creature scrabbles]

[Anna] Anna.

Anna?

[daemon] Maaaooooow.

[Anna] Anna.

[music fades]

Maow, maow.

[Anna] Anna?

Maow, maow.

[mysterious music plays]

[music fades]

[birds chirp]

[Kokonoe] You're finally awake.

Come sit down.

What is that?

It's breakfast. Drink this.

What? Are you kidding me?

Isn't there anything else?

Like bread or rice?

No. Just drink it.

It'll help you build your muscles.

You really should work out more.

[Kento] Please, Ms. Kaede, help me!

[melancholy music plays]

It's been a while since we were able

to share a meal together.

Where is Igisu?

[growls]

[Igisu] Igigigigigigi! Igigigigigigi!

[chairman] He's being kept somewhere safe.

Don't worry, we haven't k*lled him yet.

And as long

as you continue to behave, we won't.

Now go on and eat.

[fly daemon buzzes] Ocho.

[tense music plays]

[cat meows]

[fly daemon] Ocho?

[cat hisses]

[cat screeches]

[fly daemon] Ocho!

[fly daemon whimpers]

[cat meows]

[Anna] Anna. Annaaaa!

[cat hisses]

[Anna growls] Anna!

[cat screeches]

[gentle music plays]

Maow. Maow.

- Maow!

- [fly daemon] Ocho.

[Anna] Anna.

- Anna, anna!

- [Mouse Mouse] Maow, maow.

[Anna] Anna.

Anna?

Oh! [laughing] Anna!

Anna!

[woman whimpers]

[daemon growls]

- [woman whimpers]

- [daemon growls]

- [woman screams]

Miss, you okay?

Yes. Watch out!

[daemon growls]

[dramatic music plays]

[daemon growls]

Hey! Wait, come back!

[dramatic music continues]

[Yagi grunts]

[music fades]

[daemon growls]

[electricity crackles]

[daemon growls quietly]

Hey, boss! Mission complete.

Oh! What's that daemon?

This guy?

He's a parasite daemon called Parasa.

When it infects a host, it boosts 'em.

Ups their physical ability.

[daemon growls]

He devoured his daemon user

and then ran away.

It seems his collar came off

thanks to some kind of impact.

What's going to happen to him?

[Kokonoe] He'll be slaughtered.

That's awful.

[daemon growls quietly]

Uh Oh.

Wait!

[daemon growls]

[daemon growls]

[daemon growls]

Uh

Yagi, open it.

- Uh, sir?

- Mm.

[daemon growls]

[daemon purrs]

[daemon purrs]

The reason that he's being so aggressive

is because he's been abused.

Wha Uh

[Kokonoe chuckles]

[tranquil music plays]

[Karara] Karara.

Karakarakarakara.

[Kento spits]

[Kento chuckles]

Hm?

[Karara] Karara.

[tranquil music continues]

[Kento chuckles]

[Karara] Karara, kara?

[tranquil music continues]

[Karara] Karara?

I was thinking of my mom.

I remembered that I loved

watching her hang the laundry out to dry.

[Karara] Karara, karara.

Hey, your mother's death certificate

says the body remained in the hospital.

But then her body disappeared.

And you went missing as well.

Anna stored my mom back then,

so her body is the same

as right after she died.

I need to find a daemon

who can rewind time

and go back to when she was alive.

I heard a rumor that there's supposed

to be a time daemon in Kyushu.

No one's been able to confirm that yet.

It's just gone into hiding.

I'm sure of it!

The time daemon is there. It has to be!

You just want to believe that's true.

What you really need to do

is accept that your mother's dead.

[Kento cries]

[Kento] You'll see.

Someday my mom will be alive again!

[door slams]

[melancholy music plays]

[Kokonoe] Hm.

[Kokonoe sighs]

Oh, man,

this childcare thing's complicated.

[melancholy music continues]

[Mouse Mouse] Maow.

Na-na. [whimpers]

Na!

[melancholy music continues]

[Anna sniffs]

[Anna whimpers]

[Anna whimpers]

[Anna sighs]

[melancholy music continues]

[gurgling]

[gasps]

Anna?

[melancholy music continues]

Anna?

[eerie humming]

[gasps] Found you! Anna!

Karara, I have a favor to ask.

[Karara] Kara?

I'd like it if you'd release me.

Take this leash off of me.

I wanna go see my friend.

She's a daemon.

But still, she's my family too.

[Karara] Kara. Oh.

Karara.

Whoa! So, you understood that?

- What I'm feeling in my heart?

- [Karara] Karara.

- [Kento] Thank you, Karara.

- [Karara] Karara.

Karara!

[tense music plays]

[Kokonoe] Never thought

he'd be able to convince a daemon.

You violated my order,

but I'll let you off the hook this time.

Yagi, it's a go.

Just wait for me, Anna. I'm on my way.

[tense music continues]

That's it, Kento.

Guide me right to her. [chuckles]

[music fades]

What is

Is she really here?

Hey! Anna! You there?

It's me. Kento!

- [squeaking]

- [Kento] Uh

[Anna] Anna?

- [Mouse Mouse] Maow, maow.

- Anna?

- [fly daemon] Ocho?

- Anna. Anna!

Anna, anna!

Anna!

- Anna. Anna!

- [Mouse Mouse] Maow.

[fly daemon] Ochochocho.

Anna? You hear me? Anna!

Anna!

Anna! I found you!

Anna!

[chairman] You will just make

this young boy's life miserable!

[Anna whimpers]

What's wrong? Anna?

Anna! Hey, wait!

[grunts] What are all these daemons?

[daemons squeak]

[tense music plays]

[Anna] Anna?

[Anna whimpers]

[tense music continues]

[Anna gasps] Anna!

[Yagi] Have some of Hupy's scale powder.

Well, my job is done.

[daemons squeak]

You guys are so annoying!

I'm Anna's friend.

This is all just a misunderstanding!

Maow!

Uh

Huh.

[daemons sniff and squeak]

What's wrong?

Maow, maow!

What? Anna's been caught?

Guys, please, I'm gonna need your help!

And here's the storage daemon Anna again.

- [Anna] Anna?

- Your journey is over now.

You're going to be kept in a research

facility for the rest of your life.

If you're deemed dangerous,

you'll be dissected and disposed of.

Don't blame me.

I'm simply following orders, all right?

[Yagi sighs]

Maow.

[Kento] Is Anna inside that thing?

How can we save her?

[engine revs]

- Maow, maow.

- [Kento] Hm?

Maow!

[Kokonoe] Actually, for a little while,

I was living with the kid who raised you.

[Anna] Na-na.

He was quite rebellious at first,

but after a while, I felt like

I could get along with him well enough.

Kinda like a family.

Or something close to that, I suppose.

Hm.

[daemon squeaks]

[fly daemon buzzes]

[daemons squeak]

[banging]

[Yagi yells]

[Kokonoe grunts]

Yagi, take a look and see what's happened.

Right.

[tense music plays]

[fly daemon buzzes]

- [driver grunts]

- [Kento] Um, can you please move?

[driver yells]

[driver] Get off of me!

- What?

- [driver yells]

Huh?

Hey! What's going on here?

Uh

Is this it?

- [engine revs]

- [Yagi] Oh, whoa!

- [Kokonoe grunts]

- [Anna squeals]

Hey, stop! That's not safe! [grunts]

Uh

This one? Got it!

[Yagi grunts]

- Hey, wait!

- [Anna] Anna!

Kento, it's you!

You're taking the whole trailer

to get her.

Anna!

[tires screech]

[dramatic music plays]

[Yagi grunts]

Oh!

[dramatic music continues]

Kento!

[Kento yelps]

[Yagi] Pull over!

No way!

Parasa!

[Parasa] Para.

[Yagi yells]

[tense music plays]

Wha

- Oh, what the heck? Ugh, so gross!

- [daemons squeak]

[Yagi grunts]

[Yagi groans]

- [Parasa] Para.

- [Yagi groans]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

[Kokonoe] Huh?

[Kokonoe grunts]

[electricity crackles]

[Kokonoe grunts]

[dramatic music continues]

[Kokonoe grunts]

[Mouse Mouse] Maow.

[growling] Anna!

Let's pick up this where we left off!

- [Anna] Anna!

- [Kokonoe grunts]

[Kokonoe groans]

[Kokonoe groans]

[breathes heavily]

[both breathe heavily]

[tires screech]

We lost them.

[laughs]

OPEN YOUR EYES

OPEN YOUR HEAR

- Anna?

- Anna?

I don't know what those grown-ups

might've said to you, but

whatever it was,

you don't need to listen to them.

Anna.

He said that you'd make me unhappy?

That's ridiculous!

If anything, I'd say

that you've made me even happier.

Let's make sure

that we stay together, Anna.

My trip just won't be any fun without you.

Na? Aaa. Anna!

- [Kento laughs]

- Anna!

When we were apart,

I realized we're a family.

- An-anna!

- [Kento gasps]

- [Kento gasps and chuckles]

- Anna. Anna! Anna. Na-na. Na.

Anna, I love you so much!

Anna.
