Under the Dog (アンダー・ザ・ドッグ)

My family has always been awkward.

Yuu!

Today is an important day for your sister!

Yuu—

Thanks for breakfast.

Finished already?

Yeah. I've gotta get going.

You always make the best tea, Mom.

They've never known how to act around me.

My mother always struggles to make eye contact at important times like this.

Hana...

Do your best. But for you, got it?

Dad always scratches the top of his nose when he lies.

Of course, the same as ever.

See you later.

And my brother Yuuto...

still hasn't learned to lie yet.

So, now you've met my family.

They're an awkward bunch.

But I really want...

to protect them.

This morning reminded me of when I passed my school entrance exams.

Mom and Dad were even more nervous than I was.

We live in such a cruel world...

One where some are chosen, while others are not.

One where some are lucky, while others are unlucky.

Analysis is in. It's black.

What a shame. He's handsome.

And it doesn't take much to push you to one side or the other.

Forgive me.

Hit.

The other one's results should be in today, right?

This is her first, isn't it?

I hope it's white.

And even though I'm on the "chosen" side,

I've never considered myself to be lucky.

Will today be the day we finally find the one?

The one we've been searching for all this time:

our last hope.

Miss Tougetsu, are you all right?

Y-Yes!

I'll be right out.

There's nothing to be nervous about.

I'm sure you'll get along just fine.

I'm Hana Tougetsu.

Nice to meet you all.

Her father's job requires her family to move a lot

which is why she's transferring in so late in the year.

Try to make her feel at home, okay?

All right.

The hell is going on here?

Traffic at this hour?

Just my luck.

Hana, Hana!

Hey,

want to eat lunch with us?

Come on! Scram!

No boys allowed!

What? You girls jealous or something?

Say what!?

Idiot!

We don't usually get transfers at this time of year.

Is that your old school uniform?

There's such a thing as being too curious.

Seriously?

I'd say...

Hey!

There's something big going on.

What do you mean?

They've shut down all the roads to the island.

Why would they do that?

Please wait here.

0-6, this is 0-0.

Sir.

I've got bad news.

In a few minutes, your location is going to be raided.

It's getting exciting!

It took us too long to break through their encryption.

There isn't much time.

The analysis isn't finished yet.

You need to leave with the target immediately.

Report back as soon as you are both safe.

0-0, out.

Everyone online is saying there are choppers everywhere. See!?

Hey, Tougetsu...

Tougetsu?

Wh-What?

Come with me.

Huh?

H-Hey!

Where are we going?

Let go!

What was that for?

You need to stay close to me.

Huh?

If you don't...

you'll die.

What are you talking about?

This way!

H-Hey!

Shit!

0-0, this is 0-6.

I've secured the target.

But we're trapped inside—

0-6!

We've figured out the enemy's objective.

They're after an escaped research subject, "P."

Once they've found P, they'll open the panic doors.

Rejoin the other students and evacuate with the target.

Take route Bravo.

At extraction point Echo, a helicopter will pick you up.

Are you sure? We don't know his color yet.

We just got the results.

He's white.

Return with the target.

Hey.

What are you muttering abou—

H-Hey...

Thank goodness...

You may be our last hope.

Huh?

Colonel Amagata...

We're picking up more of the US's communications.

Seems something went wrong.

Communications back to their HQ have become erratic, almost panicked.

What was that?

0-0, this is 0-6.

What's happening?

0-6, this is 0-0.

We've got a situation.

The research subject, P, has pandoralized.

The US forces are evacuating the students now.

Then they'll... the Pandora...

...now... I repeat...

0-0, negative copy!

Say again!

Sir...

Colonel Amagata!?

Students, please cooperate with school staff and military personnel

and gather at the practice field.

We've lost contact with 0-6.

ECMs! They're blocking our signal!

The surveillance satellites are affected as well.

What's 0-3's status?

On her way back now, Sir.

Get her ready to redeploy.

It hasn't been twelve hours!

And she's injured from her last mission.

We risk increased pandoralization if we put her under too much genomic stress.

Pandora...

The "light of humanity"... or so we thought.

Everyone keep calm and wait to board!

Thank you for your cooperation!

It's no good. There's no signal.

Why not!?

We should evacuate with everyone else!

We can't do that...

Why not?

Because they're looking for you, too.

Me?

Yeah, here.

Behind you!

Please, you have to come with me.

Please!

Wh-What the hell is that monster?

A Pandora.

Get back!

Delicious!

How can you eat after that?

Excuse me, but can we get some more cake?

Actually, that is precisely why I need cake.

0-2, roger.

0-8, copy.

Shall we go?

An active operation in a highschool?

They've sealed off the area with the help of local police.

It's the task force they stationed in Japan half a year ago.

We believe they are after an escaped research subject, P.

And...

We are also hearing that a Flower is on-site.

Leave the kids out of this, Amagata.

For a military exercise, they're really going all out.

These are dangerous times.

Hey...

Are you okay?

I-I'm all... right.

Clearly you're not!

Can you look the other way?

Sure.

You can look now.

I've taken some medicine. I should be stabilized for now.

What's your name?

I introduced myself just this morning.

Tougetsu.

Hana Tougetsu.

Hana, is it?

I'm Nanase...

Shunichi, right?

How did you know?

I've known it for a long time.
