[Matenrou] Until the night breaks—Oh ei oh Until the sun rises—Oh ei oh Even if you can’t see the way forward—Oh ei oh Know that the dawn will always arrive—Oh ei oh

[Hifumi] Within this sleepless city Colorful neon signs Forget your painful reality And dream out a brief story

Laughing as we’re talking About our past story And just like a blanket It envelops us completely

Our serious trauma, written into a drama The answer is surely within the night breeze I’ve even started wanting to hear a reason From the woman I said I’d never forgive

Burning yourself out won’t get you anywhere, Surely you’ll return to yourself in the end Then I want to stand here, just as I am Until the morning light breaks

[Matenrou] Until the morning comes—Oh ei oh Until the light touches you—Oh ei oh Even if the night is pitch-dark—Oh ei oh Know you’re never alone within it—Oh ei oh

[Jakurai] Knowing the realities of this world Seeing sleepless dreams The wall is unscalably high But I’d like to climb it regardless

The pasts we wish to keep hidden and The fears we can’t bring ourselves to disclose Gradually eat into our hearts And by the time we realize, it’s too late

Through the long night we’ve endured Through the long, long, night we’ve endured Alone it was utterly impossible For me to possibly overcome it

I want to save everyone Though it may only be my pride I understand it all tonight– It’s always darkest before the dawn

[Matenrou] Until the night breaks—Oh ei oh Until the sun rises—Oh ei oh Even if you can’t see the way forward—Oh ei oh Know that the dawn will always arrive—Oh ei oh

Rei: Is there anyone you respect?

Rosho: What’s this about?

Rei: Just answer!

Rosho: Don’t tell him, but… Sasara. 

[Rosho] 

He has so much that I just don’t

He can charm people like it’s nothing, he’s a genius

When he opens his mouth, everyone laughs

I can’t say it to his face, but I’ve always admired him from behind

Rosho: Rei, do you have someone you respect?

Rei: Me? I…

[Rei]

I had one too, a person to respect

Someone who had everything I didn’t

When I look at you two, I remember us

But they’re no longer in this world; This’s an old, old story

Rosho: Hey. Rei. Did you ever want them to acknowledge you?

Rei:

Oh, looks like you’ve got an empty glass!

Rosho: What’s with that?

Rei: Drink up! The adults-only time isn’t over yet.

[Rei]

I won’t let anyone interrupt this adults-only time

This secret time children could never understand

The past and future can all be washed away

Let’s make a toast to living for the future

Rei: Well, I’ve had too much to drink. Time for me to go home.

Rosho: If you’re leaving, then finish your sentence from earlier!

Rei: That’s something… that only has value when you find it yourself, don’t you think?

[Rei]

I won’t let anyone interrupt this adults-only time

This secret time children could never understand

The sweet and the sour, drink them both down

[Doppo]

Going to my home

The one place I can relax, my home

[Hifumi]

Our wonderful home

Our wonderful home

[Doppo]

A connection we’ve had since we were kids

[Hifumi]

A constant give-and-take, an odd relationship

[Doppo]

If I was alone, the things I couldn’t endure

[Hifumi]

Become easy as pie with two of us

Doppo: I’m home.

Hifumi: Welcome home!

[Doppo & Hifumi]

There’s times we get gloomy

And things we get annoyed over sometimes

But here we remember we’re not alone

In this place that soothes us best in the world–

[Doppo] My home 

[Hifumi] Our home

[Doppo]

Going to my home

[Hifumi]

Our wonderful home

[Doppo]

Going to my home

[Hifumi]

[Ichiro]

On that day, back then, we walked the same path

Friends, teammates, partners, there were plenty of things we called us

What was he to me, really? 

Now I don’t know, he won’t even talk to me

There’s just one thing I know for sure...

Samatoki (23): Hey, Ichiro. A man can’t cry just because he fought with his friend, yeah? If you’re a real man, no ‘buts’ either. The only reason a man’s got to cry is if his family dies. 

[Ichiro]

The days I walked side-by-side with him weren’t so bad

Or so I thought, until that day 

Ramuda (22): This is bad, Ichiro! Your little brothers were kidnapped! 

[Ichiro]

Hang up the phone and the world turns dark, shut down

My brothers were kidnapped!?

I can’t breathe against this feedback

Misfortune gives no warning, befalling me suddenly

Is fate going to steal my family from me again?

My heart pounding, everything out of control

Like the ceaseless rain, 

This absurdity doesn’t stop

Are the people important to me going to be stolen away again?

Racing desperate through town while hating the world

All I can do is pray because I’m already out of time

Samatoki (23): Don’t hate me for this, Ichiro. Let’s do this. 

[Ichiro]

In this era you need friends to walk with

Who’ll stay alongside you, talk it out, who you can believe in

Now his blade filled with killing intent cuts into me

I never could have imagined him turning on me like this

What’s the truth, what’s an illusion, I haven’t found the answer

The ray of hope from the future we saw is growing faint

What’s the truth, what’s an illusion, I haven’t found the answer

Everything I believed in might have been a fantasy...

Ichiro: Samatoki-san. Samatoki-san! Please wait. Please! My little brothers! 

Samatoki: Not my problem.

[Ichiro]

This city doesn’t change; I’ll never forget that day

That day my brothers were almost stolen away from me

I heard the sound of everything I believed in shatter

What he showed me that day was his true self 

I can’t forgive his betrayal--or maybe just my naive self

Knowing how weak you are is the worst fucking feeling

This city doesn’t change; I’ll never forget that day

[Sasara & Rosho] 

This piece, this feeling

[Sasara]

The hole in my heart has never been filled

[Sasara & Rosho] 

That piece, that feeling

[Sasara]

The days we laughed together are now…

[Sasara & Rosho] 

This piece, this feeling

[Sasara]

The hole in my heart has never been filled

[Sasara & Rosho] 

That piece, that feeling

[Sasara]

Sasara: So, about that… Looks like you just did.

Ryota: We did?

Rosho: You found Takanashi!?

Sasara: Sounds like Rei figured out where he is! 

[Rei]

Everyone listen up!

I’ve got the intel, this’s Takanashi Haru’s investigative report

Takanashi Haru, 18 years old, attends a private high school, a normal student

Haru: When I was a child, my parents passed away in a traffic accident. My gramma has raised me since then. She’s always spoiled me, and she’s always been on my side. 

[Rei]

But because of that love,

The Takanashi family was caught up in a troublesome thread

Haru: In middle school, I was bullied. I was beat up every day, and I worried her because I couldn’t stand all the new bruises. But I didn’t want to worry her, so I tried to hide it as much as I could. Thinking back on it, that was my mistake. 

[Rei]

Her grandson was being bullied. The troubled grandmother filed a complaint with the school

But without a single kind ear, an aged woman’s complaints were summarily ignored 

She wanted to save him by any means, but she hadn’t the faintest idea how

Grasping desperately at straws, she turned to a Society in Kyoto Division

They promised to resolve all her worries, to release him from suffering and anguish

Backed into a corner, such exaggerations were more than enough to take her hostage

Hitoya: That’s the true Itonokai. 

Haru: Yes.

Kuko: I see. So she joined in order to save her grandson. What’re you crying’for?

Jyushi: I mean, I can’t think of it as someone else’s pain when he’s talking about bullying, and grammas…

Hitoya: So? What happened next? Bullying’s not gonna go away just because you prayed to some god about it.

Haru: No, it went away.

Kuko: Huh?

Jyushi: Because of the Thread’s guidance?

Kuko: No fuckin’ way! 

Jyushi: That hurts!

Haru: What saved me from the bullying was my two best friends. The hands they held out to me were like a Spider’s Thread, descending from heaven!

Hirorin: Yeah, that’s when he met us! 

Ryota: Yeah. Once we became friends, everyone stopped bullying him.

Sasara: Hm? But if it all ended well, then no one needed the Itonokai! 

Rei: Is that what you think? Then you’d be… dead wrong.

Sasara: Huh? 

[Rei]

Takanashi Haru had suffered, but the bullying had practically disappeared

Day by day he grew brighter, and his grandmother felt relieved from the bottom of her heart

And so for saving her grandson, she decided to pledge her life to the Itonokai

And so bit by bit, the Spider’s Thread wound them both up in its web

Haru: At the start of the year, my grandmother collapsed. When I watched her in that hospital bed, in her coma, I was so afraid. Afraid that my grandmother who raised me, that my family would die again. I was scared I’d have to live alone forever! So scared. And then Danjyo-sama appeared before me. 

Danjyo: You poor things. At this rate, she won’t be saved. But with our power, your grandmother can surely be saved.

Haru: Please save my grandmother. I beg you!

Danjyo: She is one of our own. We’ll save her. However… In the event we do save her, what will you give us in return?

Haru: I’ll do anything! So please save my grandmother… Save my gramma!!

Danjyo: Very well. Everything as the Spider’s Thread guides us.

Rei: On that day, Takanashi Haru signed a deal with the devil. 

[Rei] 

Ha! It’s too late to escape. Ha! You’re forbidden to escape

In exchange for his dearest grandmother’s life, the poor chick fell into a trap

Ha! It’s too late to escape. Ha! You’re forbidden to escape

No matter how he tried to run, the spider’s poison only wore him down again

Ha! It’s too late to escape. Ha! You’re forbidden to escape

Now the Spider’s Thread comprises his world, but a soldier with no free will

Ha! It’s too late to escape. Ha! You’re forbidden to escape

To ask or not to ask--your answer decides your fate

My intel network’s laid out, always fresh

If you take this power of mine the sights you see

Will change dramatically, vivid as a portrait

Blink and I’ll paint it out for you

If you want it, don’t hold back, I’ll give you an offer

If you’re for real I’ll spill some secrets, just for you

But it’ll be expensive, alright?

Okay, that’s a deal.

I’m what they call a Mastermind

I’ll never let my marks escape

A shrewd gaze and a sweet temptation

If you choose to dive in, there’s no turning back

I’m what they call a Mastermind

But I’m fully opaque, no one pays me mind

And then I gain yet another slave

Remember me now, my name is Amayado Rei

So easy

Dancing in the palm of my hand, this is reality

A dapper joke woven into my lyrics

Taking every scene to a perfect finish

You don’t know anything about it

So easy

Dancing in the palm of my hand, this is reality

A dapper joke woven into my lyrics

Taking every scene to a perfect finish
