Woman: It's the Manhunt! Man: The Manhunt! Nezumi: It's begun! Shion, stay close to me! Woman: It's started!! Man: Stop it! Woman: Save me! Shion: The sound of destruction. The sound of massacre. The sound of despair. Cries, shouts, screams, footsteps. All that agony is tangling, twining, and twisting together into a hellish pandemonium. If this isn't hell, what is? Human beings wielding weapons are hunting down other defenseless human beings without mercy. Peace and harmony…? Each of these lives, snuffed out like candles right before my eyes…. (baby cries) Shion: I won't be surprised by anything anymore. No.6 knows it's only pretending to be a holy city. (dog barks) Shion: Live, somehow, live! Nezumi: Shion! Man: Aaaaah! (guns cock) Man: I won't stand by and let you kill us! (guns fire) Soldier: Those who resist will be killed. We will show no mercy. (more gunshots and screaming) Woman: Aah! Darling! Woman: Nooo! Nezumi: Shion. Don't let yourself go mad. Soldier: You will now be transported to the Correctional Facility. Solder: Get a move on! Faster! Move! Don't lag behind! Inukashi: How awful. To think those bastards would go this far! We weren't enemies; we didn't fight back. We didn't even have weapons. Inukashi and Rikiga: We were just the souls that happened to be here. Rikiga: We had grown too numerous, and were cleaned up just like that—no human would ever do such a thing. Inukashi: But we'll come crawlin' back even if we're crushed to the ground! We're way more stubborn than No.6 thinks we are! Rikiga: So those two were taken? Inukashi: Isn't that what we planned? Now they can infiltrate the Correctional Facility. Rikiga; Yeah. But when I think about what terrible circumstances Shion might be in…. (dog barks) Inukashi: I can't believe it; you survived? (baby cries) Rikiga: Huh? Inukashi: What!? Rikiga: This is Shion's coat! Inukashi: Shion…. (tires squeal to a stop) Soldier: We're here. Get out. Nezumi: This is the place of your heart's desire, Shion. Shion: Safu…she's inside. Soldier: Move your feet! Don't stop! Safu: A blinding white darkness…where am I? My stolen freedom, this darkness of endless despair! Chorus: Trembling…groaning…creeping numbness…wild, frenzied terror. I'm scared, so scared! Someone save me! Aah! Aah! Nezumi: Shion! Grab hold of me! Don't you dare let go! We're going to hell together—but coming back out alive! Shion: We will. Nezumi and Shion: If we've made up our minds, all we can do is move forward! (mouse squeaks) Karan: Another note? Karan and Nezumi: Reunion will come! Shion: Reunion, Nezumi and Shion: We swear it! Karan: Swear it! Inukashi and Rikiga: Promise you'll come back! Safu: Blinding white darkness… Everyone: Reunion will come! Karan: A faint glimmer of hope…! Everyone: That's already a miracle! Nezumi: We're going down!

女：人狩りよ！ 男：人狩りだ！ ネズミ：始まった！紫苑、俺から離れるなよ！ 女：始まったぞ！ 男：やめろ！ 女：助けて！ 紫苑：破壊の音、殺戮の音、絶望の音、悲鳴、叫び、鳴き声、足音。全てが縺れ、絡まり、捩れ、阿鼻叫喚の音となる。まさに地獄。武器を手にした人間が、無抵抗の人間を容赦なく狩っていく。平和と調和…？目の前であっけなく奪われていく命。僕はもう驚かない。No.6が虚構の理想都市であることを知っている。生きて、どうか、生きて。 ネズミ：紫苑！ 男：あぁーっ！殺されてたまるか！ 兵士１：抵抗すれば殺す。容赦はしない。 女：あ…！あなた！ ネズミ：紫苑。狂うなよ。 兵士１：これから矯正施設へ護送する。 兵士２：進め！さっさと進め！行け！遅れるな！ イヌカシ：ひでえな。ここまでやるか！敵でもなく、抗ったわけでもない、武器も持たない、 イヌカシと力河：ただここにあった命。 力河：増えすぎたからと定期的に排除される。人間のやることじゃねえ。 イヌカシ：だが。踏み潰されても這い上がる。俺たちは、NO.6が思ってるよりずっとしぶといんだよ！ 力河：紫苑たち、連れて行かれたか。 イヌカシ：計画通りだろ。これであいつらは潜入できるんだ。 力河：あぁ。だが、紫苑がどんな酷い目に遭ってるかと思うと…… イヌカシ：お前、生きてたのか？ 力河：えっ？ イヌカシ：は！？ 力河：紫苑のコートだ！ イヌカシ：紫苑のやつ…… 兵士：着いたぞ。降りろ。 ネズミ：あんたが恋い焦がれてた場所だ。 紫苑：ここに…沙布がいる。 兵士：止まらず進め！ 沙布：何も見えない、白い闇。ここは、どこ？奪われた自由、終わりなき絶望の闇！ コーラス：震えて、呻いて、麻痺していく感情、混沌とした恐怖、怖い怖い、誰か助けて！あーあ！あーあ！ ネズミ：紫苑！俺に掴まれ！決して手を離すな！一緒に地獄に行く、ただし、生きて戻る！ 紫苑：もちろん。 二人：そう決めたなら、前に進むしかない。 火藍：もう一通！ 火藍とネズミ：再開を必ず！ 紫苑：再会を ネズミと紫苑：誓う 火藍：誓って イヌカシと力河：戻ってくると約束しろ 沙布：なにも見えない白い闇 皆：再会を必ず 火藍：小さな希望の光 皆：それはもう奇跡 ネズミ：落ちるぞ！

Labcoat Man: Just a few short decades ago, unending nuclear war, environmental devastation, and uncontrollable pollution left humanity teetering on the edge of extinction. The handful of survivors swore to live upholding peace and harmony, transcending the bounds of culture, country, and clan. In the remaining few places where it was still possible for life to thrive, six cities were born. Mayor: Our city is their crown jewel: No.6! Labcoat Man: Born so that tragedy will never befall us again! Mayor: Born for a shining, brilliant future! Everyone: After destruction comes rebirth! No.6! Nezumi: Wooow. Shion: What? Nezumi: I thought you'd hate swimming through the sewers way more than that. Shion: I'm not ready to die yet. I'll do anything to make it through this. Nezumi: This way! Everyone: Will you survive? Or will you die? Inside the walls? Or outside them? Will you control? Or be controlled? Will you pretend ignorance? Labcoat Man: Who makes these choices? Everyone: You do! It's okay to be inexperienced. It's okay to be unpracticed. Just don't stop in your tracks! It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to struggle. Just don't cut yourself off from the world! Shion: Hey, do you think I could get a message to my mom? Nezumi: No way. Shion: That's what I thought…. Nezumi: If you keep clinging on to worthless trash like that, it'll crush you to pieces. Toss aside your lingering attachments. Before us is…the other side of these towering walls! Everyone: Will you survive? Or will you die? Inside the walls? Or outside them? Will you control? Or be controlled? Will you pretend ignorance? Nezumi: Who makes these choices? Shion: I do! Everyone: If you believe in hope, Yoming: then face straight forward! Everyone: If you desire hope, Karan and Safu: then don't be afraid of getting hurt. Everyone: If you refuse to throw away hope, Inukashi and Rikiga: then accept the truth of reality! Everyone: So that you can pass on the story of that hope in the end! Shion: I want to understand the world! Everyone: You and I together become us. A mere exchange of words can become a conversation. When our opinions differ, will we meet each other halfway, or just give up? Even the slightest strain will build a dividing wall someday! Safu: Ahh! Everyone: Onwards, to the other side of those towering walls! No.6! Nezumi: Come on! Shion: Yeah.

白衣の男：今よりわずか数十年前、度重なる核戦争、歯止めのきかぬ環境汚染や自然破壊によって、人類は滅亡の危機に瀕していた。辛うじて生き残った者たちは人種や国籍、民族の壁を超え、平和と調和を保ちながら生きていくことを誓った。そして、わずかに残された居住可能な地域に六つの都市が誕生した。 市長：その中で最も優れた都市がこのNO.6。 白衣の男：悲劇を二度と繰り返さぬため 市長：輝かしい未来のため！ 同一：崩壊の先に、再生を！NO.6! ネズミ：へえ 紫苑：何？ ネズミ：汚水に潜るのはもっと嫌がるかと思った。 紫苑：死にたくない。助かるためならなんでもする。 ネズミ：こっちだ！ 同一：生き延びるか？死にたえるか？壁のうちか？外か？支配するか？支配されるか？見て見ぬ振りか？ 白衣の男：選ぶのは誰だ？ 同一：自分自身！未熟でいい。稚拙でいい。でも、立ち止まるな。臆病でいい。足掻けばいい。ただ、世界を切り離すな！ 紫苑：なあ、母さんに連絡取れないかな？ ネズミ：無理だ。 紫苑：だよな。 ネズミ：くだらないガラクタばっかり大事に背負ってると、潰れるぜ。未練は捨てろ。この先は…そびえ立つ壁を超えた向こう側！ 同一：生き延びるか？死にたえるか？壁のうちか？外か？支配するか？支配されるか？見て見ぬ振りか？ ネズミ：選ぶのは誰だ？ 紫苑：僕自身！ 同一：希望信じるなら、 楊眠：真っ直ぐ前を向け！ 同一：希望を求めるなら、 火藍と沙布：傷つくことを恐れないで。 同一：希望を捨てないのなら、 イヌカシと力河：現実受け止めろ。 同一：最後に希望を語るために！ 紫苑：世界を理解したい！ 同一：一人と一人で、二人になる。言葉を交わせば、対話になる。互いの意見が違った時、歩み寄るか？諦めるか？小さな歪みがいつか隔てる壁を作る。 沙布：ああ！ 同一：そびえ立つ壁の向こう側へ…！No.6! ネズミ：行くぞ！ 紫苑：ああ
