It was raining that day as well...
You didn't come because of the rain?
I was supposed to kill you...
That day...
if I had killed you,
I would have been free.
So why didn't you?
Why did you choose to be pursued?
Why...
did you love me?
Let's just run away somewhere.
Truly escape from this world
and go where no one else is...
Just the two of us...
What about him?
He got away.
All our men were defeated, we ran out of weapons and lost all means to—
Why did you come back?
Where is Julia?
I don't know...
Shin.
Don't follow in Lin's footsteps.
Keep going, and pass the place.
What?
Someone might have gotten here already.
Wait here.
Annie?
I told them that you weren't here.
That you were already dead.
I told them...
Don't talk.
Vicious
killed off the elders, they said.
Everyone has lost sense of where they want to be...
Just like kites with no strings.
I see... you were able to meet Julia...
I'm glad...
Annie!
It's... rather chilly... today...
You don't need weapons like that just to run away.
You're going to go.
I'll go with you.
Until the very end, I'll be with you.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna make a bit of a scene.
You sure are a lucky woman.
Really.
I came back just at the right time, and got involved in just the right way.
I really am lucky.
The Red-Tail won't be mobile for a while.
You're doing pretty well yourself...
Getting the short end of the stick and all.
He's probably not coming back, you know that?
He might have been offed somewhere already.
Maybe so.
But, so what?
Do you want me to go looking for him?
You've got to be kidding! He went off to do away with his past!
You made him go.
My leg was shot, my ship is busted!
Hell, yeah! He was nothing but trouble!
Like I care!
So what kind of a woman was Julia?
A normal woman...
A beautiful, dangerous but normal woman that you can't leave alone...
I see.
Like a devilish angel
or maybe an angelic devil.
This way!
Get down!
Julia!
Hey!
Where is Spike now?
All organisms...
All beings with life...
all have their own stars.
The moment a new life is born
a new star is born, and becomes the guardian star.
This star we stand on is someone's guardian star as well.
That red star, that blue star...
When a life ends, the star falls and disappears.
Please don't say that.
"Running Rock."
Don't call me by such a name!
His star is about to fall.
This is stupid. I can't believe it.
Do not fear death.
Death is always at your side.
When you show fear, it will spring at you faster than light.
If you do not show fear, it will only gently look over you...
Sir Vicious, I found this.
The woman's passport is inside it as well.
Surely she cannot escape from this planet easily.
A beast that has lost a place to go...
He has nowhere to return to now.
He will come.
Spike, you...
Do you have anything to eat?
I'm starving.
The food you cook tastes horrible, as usual.
For that, you sure are eating a lot.
Hunger is the best spice, they say.
Do you know a story that goes like this?
There once was a tiger-striped cat.
This cat died a million deaths and was reborn a million times
and was owned by various people who he didn't care for.
The cat wasn't afraid to die...
One day, the cat was a free cat, a stray cat.
He met a white female cat, and the two cats spent their days happily together.
Years passed, and the white cat died of old age.
The tiger-striped cat cried a million times, and then died.
It never came back to life...
That's a good story...
I hate that story.
I hate cats.
That's what I thought.
Spike.
Can I ask you one thing?
What?
Is it for the woman?
There is nothing I can do for a dead woman.
Where are you going?
Why are you going?
You told me once...
that the past didn't matter...
You're the one who's tied to their past!
Look at these eyes.
One of them is a fake, because I lost it in an accident.
Since then, I have been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other.
I had believed that what I saw was not all of reality.
Don't tell me things like that...
You never told me anything about yourself!
Don't tell me stuff like that now!
I thought I was watching a dream that I would never awaken from.
Before I knew it, the dream was all over.
My... memory came back.
But...
nothing good came out of it.
There was no place for me to return to...
This was the only place I could go back to!
But now...
Where are you going?
Why do you have to go?
Are you telling me you're going to just throw your life away?
I'm not going there to die.
I'm going there to see if I really am alive.

Shin!
Where's Vicious?
On the top floor. This way.
Shin!
Please defeat... Vicious...
Actually...
I wanted you to come back...
So, you are finally awake.
I told you before, Spike
that I am the only one who can kill you.
I'll return those words back to you, Vicious.
Either way, we were destined to end up like this.
Julia passed away.
Let's end it all.
If that's your wish.
This is...
a dream...
Yeah...
Just a bad dream...
Bang...
