Damn it!
What's going on here?!
Damn it!
Hey, why...
Why don't you give up already?!
Are you okay with being trapped here?!
Quiet down for a bit.
I imagine Aria would be able to do something for us, though.
She said something like, "Some of my power's returned!"
Do you think Aria's with the president?
Are you suggesting those two betrayed us?
Locking us up in this damn place!
We shouldn't talk like that behind their backs.
But it's suspicious, isn't it?!
That's enough. Now calm down and figure out a plan—
How can I calm down?!
That's why we should all figure out a plan.
Shut up!
This guy's impossible.
What did you say?!
Stop!
That's enough.
Hey, Shogo-sempai, please say something.
He's in dire straits, too.
But why would someone do this?
I told you it's a trap!
There's a spy among us!
Would you be quiet!
I know you're upset how things ended up with Shadow Knife,
but stop taking it out on us!
Er, sorry.
Back then, Shadow Knife was waiting to ambush us.
There wasn't anyone else at the Tower, either.
It feels as if they knew everything we were going to do, right?
Huh? Me?
Well, you're the one who brought us information, right?
The spy has to be you, Kensuke-kun!
And what will you do to me if I am the spy?
Can we just stop those stupid conversations?
Quit screwing around, jerk!
Stop it!
Doubting each other like that isn't going to get us out of here.
Ow.
You're free to doubt me,
but I'm trapped in here as well, you know, Mr. Rescue Man.
Stop it.
If only Ritsu-sempai were here.
Hey, Shogo-sempai,
do you know where the president and Aria might be?
Can I ask you one thing?
Back at the Tower, when that Musician, Thorn, appeared...
What a pathetic man.
What was that all about?
You've known that girl for a while, right?
No way. Shogo, are you...
Hey, would you say something already, Shogo-sempai?!
Don't blame me!
Um, what's going on here, everyone?
Who's there?
U-Um, it's me.
Marie-chan?
Yes.
Hey! We've been trapped in here!
Get us out of here!
Huh? You mean you didn't lock it from the inside?
What do you mean?
It won't budge at all.
What's going on here?
Damn.
Um, do you know where Ritsu-sempai is?
Huh? Shikishima-kun's not in there?
No, that bastard...
I'm worried.
Please! Find Ritsu for us!
All right.
Oh, Marie-chan, hold on.
She's gone.
Marie-sempai still isn't back, is she?
All because Kotaro-sempai sent her off
to search for the president without thinking.
We might have been able to find some means of escape.
We'll know for sure once she brings him back.
During that battle a month ago,
it seemed as though the president and μ
had known each other for a long time, didn't it?
You're right.
Maybe President was deceiving us from the very beginning.
Maybe so.
You're saying you can't trust our president?
No, that's not it.
I'm saying I can't trust a single person here.
I mean, that's how it is, right?
We all lived trashy lives back in the real world,
and we came here to Mobius to escape from them.
You can't trust us?
Not any of the friends you've made here in the Go-Home Club in Mobius?
Can you?
Huh?
Ultimately, we've all just decided
that we want to run away from this place, too, right?
You're getting too blunt there, you know.
Sorry.
But those are my honest feelings.
Sh-Shogo-sempai...
Sempai, do you feel the same way?
Say something already, damn it!
Our past continues to haunt us, no matter we go.
No matter how far we run...
No matter where we run to...
I...
I...
I can't escape it!
Not even in Mobius!
In the end both reality and Mobius are shit!
I can't trust anything anymore!
It's just as Kashiwaba and Satake said.
Ultimately, this is just
a gathering place for people who have suffered in the real world.
We're all just being kept alive in this tepid bath
of whatever μ considers happiness.
Yet even that's just a fabrication.
Okay, why don't we do this?
Before we start talking about trust or lack thereof,
we really don't know anything about each other at all, do we?
So why don't we go ahead and introduce ourselves again?
Introduce ourselves?
Yes. I'm incredibly interested in the reasons
you all decided to come here.
And it's a perfect way to kill time, right?
If that helps us figure out who the spy is...
Now, shall we take a look at the darkness within all our hearts or not?
Pry into the depths of everyone's hearts?
Don't Pry
Pry
How about it, Sempai?
If you want to listen, then I'll tell you.
The story of a murdering loser.
You mentioned that to us before, right?
What do you mean by that?
You're right that I know that woman.
Her real name is Saotome Ichika.
We were classmates back in high school.
She was a bit of an oddball,
but she was one of the few friends I could chat and laugh with.
She and I were both outsiders in our class.
So we played that off by convincing ourselves everyone else was crap.
That the entire world was, too.
We'd talk about that together all the time.
But...
that time we spent together was more precious than anything else.
Would you like to die with me?
Then one day I got a text from her.
But I was scared...
Scared...
She threw herself off the Tower, and I...
I let her die alone.
You call that murder?
That's not your fault at all, Shogo-sempai!
No.
I wouldn't listen to the one request from my most treasured friend.
I betrayed Ichika.
So it's the same thing as killing her myself.
Why didn't I go to her back then?!
I regret it more than anything!
I hated it!
And I couldn't set foot outside my house after that day!
I shut myself in for a long time after that!
I'm just a hopeless coward!
That was when I found μ's songs on the net and got hooked.
They helped only a little,
but her songs healed my battered heart.
So that's why you came to Mobius?
Yeah. Mobius erased the bitter memories just as I wanted.
But then suddenly, Ichika, the woman I thought dead, appeared before me
and forced me to remember everything.
It got worse, too.
As if accusing me, she threw herself off buildings
over and over again right in front of me.
It was driving me crazy!
So that's why you wanted to return to reality?
Yeah. So then I started searching for other people like me.
And I found you all,
at the entrance ceremony.
You said you've shut yourself in for a long time, but how old are you actually?
30.
That's over twice my age!
Twice?
Uh, no...
Huh? Kotaro-sempai, you're in middle school?
Which middle school?
Are you making fun of me?!
Stop!
Okay!
So then why don't we have Kotaro-sempai tell us about himself next?
You can skip me.
Now, don't say that.
I want to know.
Why are you so set on being a hero of justice, Kotaro-sempai?
I just...
My father's a rescue worker, and he's really cool.
He's huge and strong.
Yet I'm...
In reality I'm as small as an elementary schooler and weak.
Some people just go through growth spurts later than others.
That might be true,
but I can't become a rescue worker if that's my case!
My mother and father... both died...
in an accident.
So I was adopted by my relatives.
My body and heart are both still so weak.
I want to be like my father, huge and strong, as soon as possible.
Then I won't be so alone anymore.
Or at least I want to believe that,
but I'm just not getting any taller.
I was wandering through the city with those thoughts in my head
when I heard μ's music playing in a store.
I thought the song was nice.
It felt like her song was cheering me on.
Then, before I knew it, I was here.
I do find it fun in here, but...
No matter how long I stay here in Mobius,
I'll never become a rescue worker.
I'll never become an adult.
So you want to return to the real world?
But if you go back, you'll be as you were.
My body will be.
But not my feelings.
Right now, I feel as if I could face anything and give it my best shot!
I kind of understand that feeling, too.
Oh?
Then next up is...
Quit asking about others and tell us about yourself!
Me?
There's not that much to talk about.
I grew up in an average, ordinary environment with no particular talent to speak of.
Just tell us already!
Fine, fine.
My parents were ordinary people, the kind you could find anywhere.
So ever since I was little, I've thought I didn't want to end up like them.
And I thought about taking up a profession that wasn't ordinary.
When I told my parents
I wanted to become a composer and take the test for a music college,
they gave me conditions.
You can barely play the piano as it is.
Have you given this any serious thought?
Fine.
In that case, try actually composing something. Even if it's just one song.
In the end, I missed my chance.
While I was at it, I realized something.
What I sought was just a cool dream,
and I was still utterly empty inside.
Yet as soon as I came to Mobius,
I was granted the enticing position of "Musician,"
and great songs came to me easily.
Plus, everyone was caught up in listening to them.
Man, that felt great!
You realized your dream, then.
So why did you decide to join the Go-Home Club?
That's just it.
When I watched you all struggling to regain yourselves and return to reality,
I realized something.
Ultimately, I'm still empty inside, even here in Mobius.
What the heck?!
Your story really is trivial!
You've never faced hell in or out of Mobius!
Hells are as varied as there are people.
Your hell and my hell are different types.
He's right.
Pardon me.
Are you next, Mifue-chan?
If I recall, you asked μ to replace your mother, right?
That's—
No! That wasn't Mifue-chan's intention.
μ misunderstood and—
No...
Ultimately the one who hurt my mom both in the real world and here in Mobius
was none other than myself.
Hey, hey, is that Mifue-chan's mama?
My real mother is really fat,
and I've always been scared that I'll end up as fat as she is,
so I ended up being unable to eat anything at all,
and before I knew it, I was hospitalized.
When I arrived at Mobius I had a healthy body,
and the mother before me was thin.
But my first mother here wouldn't eat with me, so she became emaciated.
And then I wanted one that would eat dinner with me.
So μ quickly granted that wish.
It was my wish.
No, μ was just granting my own selfish desire, but...
But the first mother I had here in Mobius, I...
I...
But, Mifue-chan, you went and apologized to your mother, didn't you?!
So it's fine now.
No, it's not fine yet!
I still haven't been able to apologize to my mother
suffering in the real world.
So I want to go back.
I have to go back!
Let's stop this already.
A person's trauma isn't something to be discussed so casually!
Aren't you one to talk, Naruko-sempai?
You've been sniffing around the net for info
on other people and uploading it, haven't you?
Th-That's...
Okay!
Next is Naruko-sempai!
Back in reality I trolled μ's videos.
That was how I got sucked into Mobius.
You love the net that much?
No, I'd say I actually hate it.
See, my father is a newspaper journalist.
So at school everyone teased me
and called me the "media trash daughter."
She's a media trash daughter, so I bet her brain's rotten. I know. You can't underestimate her power, so sucks for you lol She's damn ugly too, so it pisses me off every time I see her. She's nothing but tits and a smartphone.
They wrote awful things about me on the net. It was incredibly painful.
Yet before I knew it, I had started posting anonymously, as well.
The net is a strange place.
Soon, it started feeling really good to slam out invective posts.
After I was at it for a while, people started liking my posts,
All those women throwing pity parties for themselves can go to hell.
and it just made me so happy.
I became full of myself, thinking I had finally made friends
that I could talk about anything with.
But the truth of it all was
that they were the same group of people writing those nasty things about me.
It's ridiculous.
Here in Mobius, I actually had quite a bit of fun
writing different things for the gossiper.
So why do you want to go back?
What Kotaro-sempai said was right.
I was sniffing around the gossiper for info to upload about others,
Narukonnu Currently distributing the info and fun news everyone's interested in! If you've got any scoops or ideas, intel please☆ Running live streams too~→
constantly worrying about my hits,
Too chaotic! From Gossiper "High School Girls Fool Around With Old Man" is hot now!
but it's not that I really need recognition from others for doing that.
So I figured it was about time to end the gossiper.
Hold on.
Huh?
You don't have to delete it, do you?
You know...
There are cool pictures of me on there.
What the heck?
Wait, you're a middle schooler.
Be polite! Use your polite words!
Shut up!
U-Um, can I go next?
Go right ahead.
I'm...
not much different in Mobius than I am in reality.
I've always been all alone, with no friends.
She's always by herself, isn't she?
How isolating. Poor girl.
But I always hoped that someday I would make friends with someone
who could understand and sympathize with me.
But no one would ask me to eat lunch with them.
That's why you did that with Shonen Doll.
Komori-kun is the first friend I ever made.
So I really... did have fun with him.
Also, thanks to that...
Even if I go back, I think I can move forward now.
Move forward, huh?
That's true.
Oh?
Weren't you the one just saying, "yet even that is a fabrication"?
IkeP told me...
That even if this is fake, it's his justice.
That reminds me,
IkeP was always occupied with your looks, Izuru-sempai.
These looks are meaningless.
They only make me feel even more unpleasant.
Back in the real world, my life was controlled by my mother,
and I wasn't allowed to do anything of my choosing.
There wasn't a single thing I ever accomplished for myself.
Except for one time...
There was one sole action I took of my own volition.
I carved proof that I was my own person into my cheek.
Yet μ thought that was a wound.
Over and over, it would go back to the way it was.
But without that scar, I can't prove I'm alive!
How a person feels about things differs with every individual,
so in the end, it isn't possible to fully understand one another.
Even so,
my desire to return to the real world is the same.
That fact alone makes it worthwhile to work together, in my mind.
I see.
Well, the last one left is Kotono-sempai.
It's a stupid story.
Do you all still want to hear it?
Telling us that just makes us want to hear it more.
If I recall, Ritsu-sempai said something about a "Caligula effect."
Mizuguchi, well done!
How'd you get it to open?!
Shut up.
Huh?
I'm through.
This farce of comparing tear-jerking revelations
makes my skin crawl!
Marie-chan?
Die!
My PC broke when I haven't done anything! What do I do?
People constantly seek out the right answer. Yet is being right really all that matters?
There's no way you did nothing!
You had to have done something you shouldn't have!
Do you think people will help you if you blame the PC and make a fuss? Women like you suck!
People constantly seek out the right answer.
Yet is being right really all that matters?
