The second version is completely animated, with Index waking up to find Touma missing in the apartment forcing Index to look for him in Academy City as morning breaks. The close up of her legs and face are kept but now wearing her robes.

Lyrics

 * English lyrics

 When I least expect it, you're gone And loneliness hits me hard in the chest In the night filled with signs I look up at the stars I bite my lip and pray Every time the dawn comes I run to you You try to hide behind a smile that you're covered in wounds But I notice, because I'm not a child

I'll protect you even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world This strength comes from the light you've given me

I don't want to just wait for a miracle I want to start a revolution that changes who the two of us are

And this is the night before it starts
