In the previous episode, Nai collapsed after hearing
numerous sound waves, which is most likely from Karoku. Gareki was super
worried and seemed to be deep in his thoughts. He didn’t even answer when
Tsukumo was calling him. Inside the room, the doctor informed that there’s no
injury but there was a strong disturbance in his brain waves, which made him
unconscious. The doctor also recommended that they bring Nai to the research
tower for more detailed treatment. Hirato agreed and left the room to arrange their
visit to the research tower. Being a serious person, Tsukumo asked the doctor
when Nai would regain consciousness. She blamed herself, she felt that she was
responsible for Nai but she failed to take care of him. The doctor told her
that it was not her fault and she should learn to relax and think about herself
not others.
After Tsukumo left the room, the doctor noticed Gareki
presence. Gareki asked him if he was a quack. Gareki couldn’t believe that he
said that Nai was okay after being in such pain. The doctor ignored his
question. He said that Gareki was a foul-mouthed boy and he also asked him if
he was worried about his friend, referring to Nai. Gareki denied that both of
them of friends. Hearing this, the doctor laughed and said, “Encounters happen
both through coincidence and through the course of nature. If trust grows from
within here (meaning Gareki’s heart), you’ll be friends forever.” After that,
he excused himself, saying that he must go for supper.
While being unconscious, in his dream, Nai could hear
Karoku’s voice. Karoku asked Nai why he didn’t devote all his attention to find
him. He asked if there was someone by Nai’s side. Nai answered him that it was
Gareki. Karoku praised him for being able to make friends. Nai was happy but
Karoku told him to say goodbye to Gareki and told Gareki that he didn’t need
him. Nai asked why and Karoku replied that he didn’t want Nai to be sad and
also told him that he wouldn’t want Gareki to get involved in the scary things
happening around him. Then Nai saw a broken statue of Gareki and woke up from
his dream.
Gareki was startled but at the same time he was relieved
that Nai woke up. He told Nai that he would do whatever Nai wanted him to, but
only this time. Nai remembered his dream and pushed Gareki away. He told Gareki
that he didn’t need him. Hearing this, Gareki told Nai to tell him what he
meant. Nai wanted to tell Gareki that he didn’t want him to be broken but was
cut off by Gareki. Gareki only heard “Gareki scary” from Nai. Gareki couldn’t
believe Nai was saying that he was scary after all this time. Gareki was upset.
Nai called him back and gave him Karoku’s bracelet. Gareki thought that Nai
wanted to push him away after he got what he wanted, which was getting closer
to Circus and finding Karoku. Gareki told Nai that he hated people who seemed
innocent but actually opportunists and left the room. This hurt Nai and he
started to cry loudly.
Hearing Nai’s loud cry, Yogi rushed to his side and asked
him what’s wrong. Nai didn’t answer him. Yogi who didn’t know what to do,
called Tsukumo for help. In Hirato’s office, the doctor went to talk to him.
The doctor said that he wanted to discuss about Nai. He told Hirato that Nai
was not human but actually an animal. Hirato took his words as a joke, saying
that it was lame and laughs at him. The doctor was pissed. He then showed a
picture of an animal called Niji, saying that it was Nai’s true form. The
doctor informed the others too and started explaining about Niji, also
mentioning that Niji was a rare animal that could only be found in Niji forest.
This information was shocking for Yogi, Tsukumo and Gareki. Gareki couldn’t
believe it. He realized that sometimes Nai’s action was a little bit weird. He
suddenly felt ashamed saying that he had been such a fool.
Hirato told Yogi that he had made arrangement for them to
visit the research tower. Yogi wasn’t too fond of them visiting the research
tower as he didn’t want to see doctor Akari. While talking, Yogi asked Hirato
about Nai’s bracelet. Hirato said he was going to let Nai keep it. Since the
bracelet can only react to its owner, he wanted to see if it react with Nai.
Yogi said that the bracelet was not Nai’s but Karoku. Hirato replied that they
should be aware and that Nai could be lying. Yogi defended Nai saying that
although he didn’t know much about Nai, he knew Nai wasn’t a bad boy.
At the same time, in Nai’s and Gareki room. Gareki told Nai
to sit down and discuss some matter. Before talking, he still thought about Nai
being an animal. He then asked Nai why Nai told him that he was scary although
he was to one who asked for his help before. Nai denied that Gareki was scary.
Nai told him that he was not scared of him but he was scared that Gareki would
be broken as how Karoku told him in his dreams. Gareki can’t understand why
Karoku left Nai alone while he can talk to Nai without seeing him. Hearing
this, Gareki’s impression on Karoku totally changed and decided to meet Karoku
since he felt that Karoku was picking a fight with him.
Gareki apologized to Nai and said to him that he actually
didn’t hate him. Nai was happy and he has sparkles around him (lol). Seeing
Nai’s happy expression, Gareki couldn’t help but see a Niji in front of him
with sparkles just like Nai. (HAHAHAHA).
The next day, they arrived at the research tower. Gareki and
Nai were to be examined there. Yogi was ordered to take care of them as the
rest of the Second Ship crew had to attend a meeting called Round Table Z.
Actually the members of the First Ship, Kiichi, Jiki and their captain,
Tsukitachi were also told to attend the meeting.
During the meeting, they discussed about Varuga and Kafka,
the organization behind all these Varuga incidents. They also discussed about
Nai and Gareki. Back there in the research tower, the doctor had finished
examining Gareki. The results showed that he was not infected by Varuga.
Outside, Yogi was trying to sneak out so that Akari sensei would not find him
but all his efforts were useless since Akari sensei had found him. He reminded
Yogi not to forget to change his allergy patch regulary and if he forgot and
anything happened to him, the treatment wouldn’t be as easy as before. This
made Yogi afraid and ran off. After finishing their examinations, Nai and
Gareki were left in their room for rest. While looking at the scenery outside
from the window, Nai said that it looked like the place he and Karoku used to
say. He then proceeded to ask Gareki how was the place he was living before.
Gareki told him that he used to live in the dump, basically a dirty place.
Gareki then said that ever since he met Nai, he felt that he always see pure
things. Nai, with sparkles around him, replied that if the things that Gareki
saw were pure, it meant that his eyes are pure too. Seeing Nai surrounded by
sparkles, again Gareki imagined Nai as a Niji and felt annoyed. At the same
time, in a dark place there was a girl calling out for Gareki.
At Round Table Z, everyone received information from Akari
Sensei that Nai it was true that Nai was not human and that he was a
masterpiece, the elders or the bosses ordered Akari sensei to dissect Nai and
conduct an experiment on him. Tsukumo was about to argue but Akari sensei cut
her off. He said that he couldn’t follow their order. He told them that if they
dissect Nai, they would lost an enormous amount of data and he couldn’t allow
such things to happen.
The next morning, Nai, Gareki, Yogi and Akari sensei were
leaving for Niji Forest, the place where Nai used to live with Karoku. It turns
out that Niji forest it a unique place where unnatural rainbows and also mirage
occurs. In Niji forest, no electrical devices could be used, they could only
depend in sound for clues. While walking in the forest searching for clues, they found the house where Nai and
Karoku used to live. Unfortunately, the
house was destroyed. Seeing its condition, the house was destroyed by someone.
Nai said that there was another place where he used to stay.
That place was a cave. When they were about to enter, they were attacked by numerous
Varugas, Yogi then fought to protect them. In the middle of that, Nai noticed
that there was a small animal in danger. While trying to protect him, the
Varuga took its chance to attack and took Gareki away.
