I want to go home.
I've never been in a place where the air is so...
polluted.
Listen Alice...
Long ago, the dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
And sixty-five million years ago...
they suddenly became extinct.
And now, the same thing...
is happening to humans.
Like the dinosaurs, humans are growing larger.
So you see...
We are living in an age that has begun to forsake humanity.
Yes, Hajime, but...
I'm getting hungry.
Hey, wait up.
Those... Those dancing footsteps. He's playing rhythmic gymnastics.
He's coming this way!
It's... It's Rin Kobayashi!
Greetings! To the girl from Hokkaido who moved in next door...
Alice, the high school freshman!
Good Evening!
G-Good evening-
Have a piece of gum!
I-l don't want any.
It was you that spit gum into my shoes the other day.
Wasn't it!?
What!?
How could you accuse a seven year old boy...
without any evidence?
You're just like a tax auditor!
Alright then, I'll have a piece.
Really?! Great!
Now, crouch down here.
Open your mouth.
Okay. Ahhhh...
Rin! Dinner time!
Coming!
A perfect 10.0!
That night we had my favorite, boiled tofu.
But I'm so sensitive and had such a shock.
I couldn't eat a single bite.
What's wrong?
What is it, Alice?
Rin played a trick on her again.
Really?
B-Baby sit?
Yes, I'll be back by eight.
My husband is on a business trip and-
Tomorrow my friends are visiting from Setagaya-
I'm going to play golf-
I've got my school club meeting.
Rin was saying how much he wanted to spend time with you.
He's taken such a liking to you, Alice.
No!
Everyone's so thoughtless!
I can't baby sit Rin!
Stop! Stop it, Alice!
You can't blame father for being excited...
about his promotion to the main office.
But, but...
That Hajime! How could he eat three and a half servings of tofu?!
That night, I endured the growling of my empty stomach...
and fell asleep with tears on my pillow.
Let me go! Let me go, you idiot!
Pick up your gum and...
put it in the trash!
Make me!
Throw it away!
You think... You think...
you think you're so prim and proper!
But, you're not a virgin!
W-What... W-What--!?
It's eleven a.m., stupid!
I know all about it.
Fine young ladies are virgins.
And fine young gentleman are chaste.
You just try and deny it!
Idiot!
It's so cute!
Are you afraid?
Then, what's wrong?
I don't know.
I don't know much about animals.
I've only seen pictures of them.
What're you doing!?
Let's go to the zoo!
Fine!
UENO ZOO
That's weird. Why are they gathering around us?
They say they're doing it for you.
Are you saying you can talk to the animals?
No, I just kind of get the feeling that that's what they're doing.
Come to think of it...
In Hokkaido, the same thing...
happened the first time I saw horses.
They gathered around me...
and I started to cry.
Mother and father said there was nothing to be afraid of.
Is there something special about me?
I'm just an ordinary person.
And here at the zoo, the animals gather around me...
and curiously speak to me with their eyes.
Who are you?
What are you? We've never met you before.
How can you sense what we're feeling?
It's like I just told Rin.
When you are happy...
I can just sort of sense that you are happy.
They're selling flower bulbs!
Shall I buy you a crocus bulb as a souvenir?
Yes!
Take good care of it.
Okay, I will.
Are crocus flowers pretty?
Yes, they're very pretty.
Oh, it's Alice!
R-Rin, let's go home! It's getting late!
W-Wait! It's not what you think!
Will you join us for coffee?
I want to explain the misunderstanding.
I... Uh...
I just want you to know that we're not gay!
This is Issei Nishikiori from homeroom three.
Well, from what you saw yesterday...
I can see how you'd misunderstand.
Do you realize what you said?
You said that you weren't...normal.
There they are.
Hello!
We're...
We're not normal, are we?
That's Jinpachi Ogura from my class...
but who's the other guy?
I guess... we're not.
We aren't normal. I was shocked...
but you must have been really shocked.
Issei!
Last night we...
Don't say it!
Issei!
I'm sorry!
I... Uhhh... I just...
I'm sorry!
That's what happened, right?
Well, we're really not normal.
We're not twins or related or anything...
but Issei and I have been having the same dreams.
In the dreams, my name is Gyokuran...
and Issei is called Enju.
Enju is a woman.
Yesterday, you caught us in a strange situation...
because in the previous night's dream...
Gyokuran and Enju slept with each other.
Wha-?
This must sound really idiotic to you.
Ah... No...
I mean... I'd like to hear more about the dreams.
Well, the dreams don't really...
continue from the previous night's dream.
They're very fragmented.
It's like memories are recorded in our brains...
and those memories are replayed at random.
And then we wake up.
And it keeps happening over and over again.
Issei and I had the same home room...
for the last two years of junior high.
Sometimes we would talk about our dreams.
We both had some pretty bizarre and spacey dreams.
When we started high school, we started comparing our dreams...
and discovered that our dreams...
had the same people and conversations.
The setting for our dreams was also the same, the moon.
There is some sort of base or research station on the moon...
with seven scientists.
My alter ego, Gyokuran is one of the scientists...
and so is Issei's alter ego, Enju.
Seven scientists?
Uh-huh.
The seven of us are involved in...
some sort of work observing the Earth.
We gather data on everything from politics to wildlife.
We record and analyze it all.
I'll start by describing Jinpachi's alter ego, Gyokuran.
Unlike Jinpachi, Gyokuran acts like a gentleman.
He is shy and excels at everything he does.
He's an archaeologist.
My counterpart, Enju is...
an introverted paleontologist.
She is secretly in love with Gyokuran.
But Gyokuran is in love with a beautiful woman named Mokuren.
Mokuren?
Yes, Mokuren is a mysterious person.
She is both talented and knowledgeable...
self-controlled and calm, gentle and sincere.
She has a warm feminine personality as well.
Most men that meet her fall in love with her.
She's a renowned biologist.
And then there's Shion.
Shion is a childhood friend of Gyokuran.
He's an engineering genius.
