You're... a Witch.
Witches must be hunted.
Isn't that right, Amon?
I've hunted so many... believing that the Craft was a power meant to hunt Witches.
Let's have takoyaki again sometime, okay?
I'm gonna be Minori Yoshida starting today.
Wait!
I'll survive.
I'll survive... as a Witch.
I feel like it'll disappear...
...the instant I look away.
I just kept counting...
...all the many traces of loneliness...
...that I'd vomited up.
In this time that seems so dry,
...my heart is thrashing around and drowning.
It takes those lies that make my head spin...
...and tears them to pieces.
And the place I lose my way in...
...is a dim, hazy world.
Somebody who came into the country in the past month...
...through an American military base, huh?
I even tried going through the Immigration Bureau's data,
...but sure enough, I didn't get any hits on anybody fitting that description.
Well, that's not surprising.
Okay, you're on.
It's risky work, but since it's you who's asking me to do it...
I owe you one.
Guess I'll try my next snitch.
Are you busy?
No, come in.
Do you have some new information?
There are only scraps of information relating to Amon,
...but they've apparently tracked him down.
Amon, sir?
Yes. As we suspected, Amon's injuries were treated at Solomon headquarters.
Which would suggest that he's in Europe now.
Yes...
As far as his wounds go, they've apparently completely healed already.
They're telling me that there's a strong possibility that he's already left Europe.
There's a chance that he's found his way back to Japan, then?
I suppose there is.
What is it, sir?
He may have gone completely over to headquarters' side.
Perhaps it's too risky to let him run loose.
That man hasn't been given one single piece of vital information.
I'll admit that he was second to none as a hunter, but in the end, that's all he's good for.
Anyway, what did you need?
Yes, sir. About the progress of the Orbo Project that you requested the other day...
That's right... Sastre won't be the last.
Solomon will definitely send another hunter.
Will I fight them? CAN I fight them?
The answer to that question lies within you...
I know that.
The next hunter is in Japan?
An earth Craft User...
I wonder what's the matter?
Our hunt schedule is packed, so why are they just sitting around?
At this rate...
We'll just fall further and further behind.
I think you're right.
Go over there and tell a joke or something to cheer them up a little.
Are you kidding, sir?! My jokes will just make them feel even worse.
A hunter from HQ?
You think he's here to hunt Robin?
Can you think of another reason?
So, what is headquarters saying about him?
Not a word. Just that a hunter has been sent to Japan.
No mention at all of his name or objective.
What do you suppose they're up to?
I guess they don't trust us anymore.
How do you mean?
You know what I mean.
You mean the deal with Zaizen and HQ?
Well, I definitely get the feeling that they're not getting along.
You have a point.
I guess the fact that there's no talk of cooperation...
...means that maybe the bosses really are on bad terms right now.
For one thing, we could easily find Robin if we set our minds to it.
After all, our information-gathering capability is far better than theirs in Japan.
But if it turns out that we have to help them,
...that'd mean that we'd take part in the hunt, wouldn't it?
It's almost too much to bear.
What's the matter? Why the serious look all of a sudden?
Oh, I was just thinking about Amon.
I was wondering what he was doing there.
If you're talking about the other day, it almost seemed like he was hostile to Robin, didn't it?
Speaking of Amon, it's really strange how he hasn't even showed up here.
Seriously, what's happening to this organization?
Hey, everyone, what are you doing?
Let's not sit here and mope!
Why don't we go over to Harry's for a harry's of the dog that bit ya?!
Um... I just meant that...
It's another cold one today. I'm calling it a day.
Guess I'll go check in on her.
Yo!
What's up? You doing some shopping?
I was getting dinner.
Same here.
Isn't a getup like that just advertising that you're trying to hide your face?
You're tracking a Solomon hunter?
Sastre won't be the last. I'm sure that Solomon will send out another hunter.
And you're trying to get the drop on him, huh?
But how are you gonna find a guy when you don't know his name or what he looks like?
Well, I...
You've changed.
It's like you'd been in a daze ever since you got here, but now you're different.
I'm the same as I always was.
It's just that up until now, I've done what Solomon told me to do.
But from now on, I only have myself.
I got the impression that you knew about that last hunter beforehand.
I knew it.
Why don't you hit up that source again?
Because I...
It's tough to go to them because they saw you take out a hunter?
Huh? How did you know it was them, Nagira?
Why do you sound so surprised?
You'd been getting intel somehow,
...so it's only natural to think that you got it from your old team.
I'm sorry. I should have been more careful.
You didn't have much choice.
More to the point, though, you're being too timid.
Okay, so maybe they saw that you can be dangerous.
But it's a shame to lose all faith in your friends over a little thing like that.
That was quick.
Because I put a rush on it.
And?
Just like you expected.
Meaning?
I didn't just find a man fitting his description. He entered the country under his own name.
His own name?!
Yeah. Except his ID said he was a civilian from the EU.
He's still at the same location?
Hey.
What are you investigating?
That hunter from yesterday.
And?
No luck whatsoever.
Far be it from me to tell you people not to investigate something here,
...but if at all possible, I'd appreciate it if you didn't forget that you have a job to do.
And you, Dojima...
What are you doing, standing around with your coat still on your arm?
You should have gotten down to work a long time ago.
He's been withdrawing money on a fairly regular basis.
The most recent withdrawal was at the Kamiigusa branch two days ago.
Something the matter?
No, I was just wondering why he's using his own account.
You were the one who said to check his bank account, Mr. Nagira.
Yeah, but I didn't think it would be this easy.
It's almost as if...
It's as if he's trying to broadcast his movements.
What the hell is Amon thinking?
Why is he deliberately doing things that would leave a trail?
Is he calling me out?
No, that can't be it. Even if he was, what good would it...
Which means he's...
Okay, we're going to call it a night.
- Sure. - Good work today.
You, too.
Michael...
It's about time.
It's about Amon, right?
Not this time.
Huh? What, then?
Michael, have you gotten any information about a hunter from headquarters?
A hunter? How did you...
It won't end with Sastre. I'm positive they'll be sending another hunter.
If you get anything, let me know.
Robin, you aren't trying to take on HQ all by yourself, are you?
I'm the same person I've always been.
But headquarters has classified me as a Witch.
Is it because I learned the inner mysteries of the Craft.
I have to know. Otherwise, I'll...
You're tough. You know that?
I got some information on a hunter, all right.
And this time, they sent it to ME.
Why would headquarters do that?
I don't know.
But they were able to access my computer, so who else could it be but HQ?
Hm? What's the matter?
It wasn't them.
How do you mean?
Headquarters isn't the only one who could access your system, Michael.
I don't think so.
No. Amon could access it.
Amon? But he's...
Robin...
So, you're Robin?
If you insist.
My powers are coming back at me...!
This is the eternal maze.
Eternal maze?
Yes. The endless, black shadow which forever leads man astray.
Is she trapped in the Ogham ward?
No! This is an illusion!
His element... I have to sense that hunter's breath.
I won't be... the last!
There's more to it than power.
As she is now, can Robin understand that...
...big brother?
Just how far back do I need to go?
Tell me.
It's all so vivid that it hurts.
The truth is, nothing can be shared,
...so I never looked back.
...all those promises...
...inside me eventually...
...gave up on that light from some other time,
...like the light of a morning you can't return to.
