Kiznaiver (キズナイーバー)

You exist...

inside me.

Nori-chan is inside me...

Nori-chan!

It's All Over... I Think

KIZNAIVER

This pain... It's Chidori, isn't it?

How do you know it's Chidori?

Well, I'm not certain, but...

Chidori?

What are you doing here by yourself? Where's Katsuhira?

He left...

He went to look for Sonozaki-san...

He went to Sonozaki-san.

Owie!

This isn't emotional... This is actual pain!

I'm against violence!

I'm against violence!

How ya doin'?!

Why are you letting them beat up on you?

Well, I mean, it was two against one.

But I think the tables have turned now.

And the tables have turned again.

Stand up already!

We're surrounded!

Damn it... This way!

Hurry!

Huh?

They're not attacking us?

Let the screening begin.

The breaker's still down, so how...

K-Kacchon?!

Are you all right?

Yes. I just got a bit dizzy.

Thank goodness. Aren't you cold?

I can't say that I'm not cold.

Ah, right... What should we do?

May I ask a question, as well?

Sure, go ahead.

Do you like me?

I don't know if I like you, but...

I can't help thinking about you.

Looks like the love scene's started.

That little...

Hey!

Stop!

Thinking about me?

Does that mean you think about me all the time?

I guess maybe I do, relatively.

How much do you think about me throughout the day?

Well...

Altogether, it might be about an hour.

No...

Chidori...

That Kizna mark...

Kizna mark?!

You said earlier that I exist inside you, didn't you?

I have a feeling I've known you

for a really long time.

My memories from when I was a tiny little kid are vague.

But there's something like a scene that comes to me occasionally.

There's a little girl, and she always tells me

that I'll be able to get my pain back.

I can never see her face very well.

But ever since I became a Kiznaiver, I've been able to see it more clearly.

It's you, Nori-chan.

Me...

Could it be that you and I are also bound together?

What?! Katsuhira and Sonozaki?!

Is that even possible?

I can't win...

Chidori?

I said I knew more about Kacchon than Sonozaki-san...

But if that's not true either, then...

Let's get to the gym!

Listening from in here won't get us anywhere!

Tenga!

Hey, wait!

Yay, it's a lovers' quarrel!

So Tenga-kun really...

Let's go, Chidori.

No.

I don't want to go!

You don't want to get rejected?

That's not fair.

Tenga-kun will yell at those two.

He'll probably stop them...

So you can just stay right here and not do anything!

Wh-What are you talking about?

I'm going to go!

I'm going to go get properly hurt!

Wait, Nico...

Properly hurt...

Yeah! Dig deep, Niyama Nico!

Takashiro Chidori just needs one more little—

You have horrible taste.

It's like we're taking people's emotions and playing with them like toys.

If you say something like that,

it means you're pretty much denying this whole experiment.

It's been twelve years since the Kizna Committee gathered children,

from early childhood to adolescence, as test subjects.

Among the children picked in early childhood were you and me, Katsuhira-kun.

Back then, everyone believed

in the righteousness and possibility of permanent peace.

So much so that everyone involved was almost in a trance.

People even happily offered their own children.

Well, that's how attractive this experiment was to everyone.

You were a prime example of that, Urushii.

Don't you remember?

Shiori, with the short hair.

Yuki, who knew a lot about flowers and plants.

Asuka, who always walked with a spring in her step.

Nori-chan! Hurry! Come on!

Sorry!

It hurts...

I want to go home...

I can't breathe...

It hurts...

Mommy, help me...

It hurts...

I can't breathe...

What is this?

I can't breathe...

This pain...

It's Katsuhira-kun's.

It's not physical pain. It's from his heart? But it's different from usual...

Kacchon...

Katsuhira-kun.

So you're starting to remember?

Y-Yes...

But there's something strange...

Something...

I see...

So I'm still inside you, too...

People can't find themselves within you.

That irritates them.

No...

You can get your pain back.

No...

Nori-chan!

I can't breathe, Katsuhira-kun.

KIZNAIVER

Katsuhira-kun...

I can't breathe, Katsuhira-kun.

The scar...

Why are you holding me?

I don't know.

We were connected long before you connected with everyone else.

Yes.

It wasn't just the two of us. There were a lot of other children.

Yes.

Yuki taught me which leaf would become a whistle if you blew hard onto it.

Asuka, Shiori, Pon-chan, Tonko...

So you're starting to remember.

Yes. As I'm holding you like this, Nori-chan,

a lot of things are welling up inside me...

They're inside me. So are you, Nori-chan.

Chidori... Everyone...

Chidori!

Chidori...

Damn it!

Katsuhira, go after her!

Huh? Why?

Just do it!

Tenga, wait!

Tenga!

Hurry up!

O-Okay...

What the hell's going on?

You and Katsuhira are Kiznaivers, too?
