Kiba (牙-KIBA-)

We've all surely got our arms outstretched

Towards a far, faraway place

Blown by the wind, we walk on

Wanting to know the reason we were born

Even if a time of loss should come

Let's now choose to hold each other tight

We've all surely got our arms outstretched

Towards something we can't lose

Pulling only brilliant dreams closer

Towards a far, faraway place

Zed... My dear Zed...

Can you hear my lullaby?

The sound of this wind blowing through your hometown?

And the sound of those white wings that spurned me and carried you away?

You see, Zed...

This is why I love you...

...and despise you!

What the hell is this?

What the heck's going on in my head?

Episode 1 Winds of Fate

If these incidents are to continue not only on campus, but in town as well,

it will sully our school's reputation!

We must expel him at once!

Is expulsion really the solution to all our problems?

He takes full advantage of how easy we are on him.

The way you deal with a guy like that is to tighten the reigns on him.

May I say a word?

Zed does not mean any harm.

I'm not sure how to explain, but he is under the influence of something.

I believe there is some reason for his behavior.

Does having a reason entitle you to do whatever you like?

Even if you are childhood friends, you can't shield him anymore.

You're the student council president, aren't you?

Why not think a little harder about how this affects the school as a whole?

Anyhow, let's just get a hold of him.

Ruffian though he may be, he does care about his mother,

so if we keep an eye on the hospital, he's bound to turn up before long.

You again?

You've made one hell of a mess.

Sir...

Yes?

If he keeps on wreaking havoc like this,

as a police officer, I simply won't be able to overlook it.

I am truly sorry,

but it will cause our school a lot of trouble if this gets out.

We will fully reimburse those involved for the damages.

If you would, please keep this quiet?

This is the last time that I will.

Thank you very much.

How about you give a little thought to what you've done,

rather than stand there all quiet, huh?

Cripes, the kid's been nothing but trouble for me since the moment I transferred to this school.

I'm sorry.

There's no need for you to apologize.

If anyone should apologize, it's him...

There'll be another meeting tomorrow.

I give up, just figure out how to deal with this quick.

Sir, there is some special reason only Zed knows about.

He only smashes up things like doors and gates.

I guess he's the only one who knows why.

Well, with his mother the way she is I do feel some sympathy,

but regardless of that, we'll decide how to deal with him at the meeting tomorrow.

The wind doesn't blow through this town,

and the air only gets worse and worse as it stagnates.

Man, did I ever come to a hell hole...

Give up, you can't get away.

Whoa! Hey!

This is...

You don't stop by my place to eat these days.

My mom misses you.

She thought maybe you didn't like her cooking.

So you want something from me?

Could you tell me something?

What's with you breaking all these doors and gates?

What is it you want to do?

Can't you tell me either?

Does it have something to do with your mother, or...

It's got nothing to do with her!

It doesn't have anything to do with my mom.

This must be tough for you to bear.

Why not at least put on a mask?

Yeah, I know.

To answer your question...

You see...

I've got this feeling that if I break doors, I can go somewhere.

I feel like there's a world beyond the door that'd have more use for me.

Zed...

There was a meeting at school today.

The teachers are out searching, trying to bring you in.

Listen, Zed...

It'd be better if you were to go to the school yourself.

I think it might improve your image a bit for one thing.

What is improving my image going to do at this point?

But if things get any worse than this...

I end up expelled and in police custody regardless.

I don't see any options there.

But...

Noah! But...

I want to do what I like,

even if I'm still not sure what that is.

Being tied down, having to grin and bear it...

I can't take any more!

That's just like you.

Here, take this.

Huh? That's...

Falcon's feathers.

The falcon is an incarnation of the sky god, Horus.

That makes them a symbol of freedom.

Freedom...

Here, happy birthday.

So, you remembered, huh?

Hey, Noah!

You all right, Noah?!

Hold on!

Noah! Noah!

I can't exactly say this is good.

Your daily life is placing undue strain on your body.

A single day in the life of an ordinary person

is the equivalent of a year or two of aging for you.

If you continue to push it,

then as a physician I will not be able to give any guarantees as to your survival.

I won't be recovering from this illness in any event.

Please let me do as I like.
