[00:14] G
    Iona, damage report.
[00:17] I
    We have lost 40% of our armaments.
[00:19] G
    I see... That's tough.
[00:22] G
    Can you repair yourself?
[00:23] I
    There is a severe shortage
    of nanomaterials.
[00:25] I
    I can make stopgap repairs.
[00:27] K
    We're also out of corrosive torpedoes.
[00:30] K
    If the Fog attacked right
     now, we'd be finished.
[00:34] G
    We'll need to go to Iwoto.
[00:37] K
    I hope we can get back
    there in one piece.
[00:42] Shizuka
    Message from Control.
[00:45] Shizuka
    They're about to load the vibration warhead
[00:47] Shizuka
    and perform a diagnostic.
[00:49] Shizuka
    They're projecting completion at 2000 hours.
[01:06] G
    So, that's the vibration warhead...
[01:08] Sou
    It's supposedly more powerful
    than the corrosive torpedo.
[01:12] Sou
    Uncle Sam must be looking
    forward to the delivery.
[01:16] K
    So this weapon's a game changer?
[01:18] K
    I'm surprised we could
    make something so amazing.
[01:24] G
    That girl...
[01:27] G
    Do you remember her, Iona?

[03:21] Maya
    Hey, what's with you?
[03:24] I
    I sank Kirishima and Haruna.
[03:28] Maya
    I hope I'll get to do my part soon, too.
[03:32] I
    When I did...
[03:33] I
    their thoughts flooded into me.
[03:35] I
    It wasn't just regret.
[03:37] I
    There was a bit of satisfaction.
[03:39] I
    Why?
[03:41] Maya
    Because she was able to
    save her friend, right?
[03:44] I
    "Friend"?
[03:46] I
    I see.
[04:06] MaidA
    Your guest is still resting.
[04:09] Makie
    Thanks.
[04:10] Makie
    You haven't told anyone, right?
[04:12] MaidA
    No, Miss.
[04:44] H
    That coat...
[04:45] Makie
    Oh, so it is yours?
[04:47] Makie
    It's really big...
[04:50] H
    Give it back...
[04:57] H
    Sniffle, sniffle...
[05:05] H
    Thank you...
[05:07] H
    Shazam.
[05:09] Makie
    Um...
[05:12] Makie
    I'm Osakabe Makie.
[05:14] Makie
    And you?
[05:15] H
    Haruna.
[05:16] Makie
    What's the rest of your name?
[05:19] H
    Just Haruna.
[05:22] Makie
    Oh, Haruna.
[05:24] Makie
    I found this on the ground.
[05:26] Makie
    Is it yours?
[05:28] H
    Yes.
[05:29] Makie
    I've never seen this material before.
[05:31] Makie
    It feels like metal,
    but it's very light.
[05:37] H
    Kirishima, are you all right?
[05:39] Kiri
    Yeah...
[05:41] Kiri
    The Union Core is unscathed,
[05:43] Kiri
    but what's going on?
[05:47] H
    It appears that this girl saved us
[05:49] H
    after we were thrown from the ships.
[05:51] H
    I don't know the details.
[05:53] Kiri
    I see.
[05:54] Kiri
    I will leave the reconnaissance to you.
[05:56] H
    Understood.
[06:02] H
    What is it?
[06:03] Makie
    Well... All of a sudden, you froze.
[06:06] H
    I was just deep in thought.
[06:08] Makie
    Okay, then...
[06:10] Makie
    By the way, why were you
    unconscious on our property?
[06:15] H
    That's...
[06:21] Makie
    And you were practically naked.
[06:24] H
    I repurposed the materials
    forming my clothing
[06:25] H
    as a crushable structure to
    absorb the shock of impact.
[06:30] Makie
    Crutchable-what?
[06:32] H
    Crushable structure.
[06:34] Makie
    Whatever.
[06:35] Makie
    Hey, why don't you stay
    here for a while?
[06:39] Makie
    You've got something going on.
[06:41] Makie
    If you want to walk around outside,
[06:43] Makie
    just wearing underwear
     and a coat is bad taste.
[06:45] H
    "Bad taste"?
[06:55] Kiri
    Transmitting data on human
    apparel throughout history.
[06:58] Kiri
    If we are to be active on land,
[07:00] Kiri
    it may be beneficial to
    improve your appearance.
[07:03] H
    I have reached a similar conclusion.
[07:06] H
    From your perspective,
[07:07] H
    what can I wear that
    would not be "bad taste"?
[07:09] Makie
    Oh, we have lots of
    clothes no one wears.
[07:13] Makie
    You can have some!
[07:14] Makie
    There's got to be a lot in your size.
[07:17] Makie
    Hm, where are they...
[07:21] H
    Osakabe Makie, why are you helping me?
[07:25] Makie
    Why?
[07:27] Makie
    Well, this is probably some kind of fate!
[07:30] H
    "Fate"?
[07:31] Makie
    Yeah!
[07:31] Makie
    You don't know what fate means?
[07:33] H
    "Fate"...
[07:36] H
    Referring to a connection between people,
[07:38] H
    a fateful encounter.

[07:45] Makie
    Haruna, you talk like a dictionary.
[07:49] Makie
    Kind of like a machine.
[07:51] H
    No, that's not true.
[07:53] Makie
    Oh, well.
[07:55] Makie
    But, this is kind of fun, isn't it?
[08:06] Makie
    Um, um...
[08:09] Makie
    Hm... Maybe this?
[08:13] Makie
    Mm, not this, either...
[08:16] Makie
    Or, maybe this one?
[08:19] Makie
    Nah, this can't be ignored, either...
[08:24] H
    Please spare me...
[08:27] Makie
    Not yet!
[08:29] Makie
    When you change clothes,
[08:30] Makie
    you have to change your hair, too!
[08:32] Makie
    Maybe this?
[08:33] Makie
    How about this?
[08:35] Makie
    This isn't bad, either!
[08:38] Makie
    Haruharu, you should be more stylish.
[08:43] Makie
    I know! Let's go shopping together tomorrow!
[08:46] Makie
    I'll ask if we can go outside.
[08:48] Makie
    Okay?
[08:51] Makie
    Yes?
[08:54] MaidA
    Miss, it's time for your checkup.
[08:57] Makie
    Okay, be right there.
[09:00] Makie
    Haruharu, take your time
    picking your clothes.
[09:10] H
    Shazam.
[09:13] Kiri
    "Haruharu"... she likes you.
[09:15] Kiri
    Haruharu.
[09:19] Kiri
    By the way, Haruna,
[09:20] Kiri
    give me some of your nanomaterials.
[09:23] Kiri
    I'm helpless right now.
[09:38] Kiri
    Good.
[09:41] Kiri
    I can't get used to this.
[09:44] Kiri
    What is this place?
[09:52] H
    No life signatures detected.
[09:55] Kiri
    And not just here, either.
[09:56] Kiri
    Even though this is a large structure,
[09:58] Kiri
    there are very few life signatures.
[09:59] MaidA
    Ma'am.
[10:01] Kiri
    Better play dead.
[10:02] MaidA
    Miss Makie is waiting.
[10:04] MaidA
    I will show you to the dining hall.
[10:10] Kiri
    Hey, take me with you.
[10:13] Kiri
    I can't let people see me walking around.
[10:17] Makie
    Huh?
[10:19] Makie
    Why do you have him with you?
[10:21] Makie
    Do you like him?
[10:22] H
    No, that's not...
[10:24] H
    necessarily wrong.
[10:27] Makie
    Oh, I know.
[10:31] Makie
    Let's all eat together.
[10:34] Makie
    It's kind of fun
[10:37] Makie
    to eat with other people.
[10:40] H
    Are there no other humans here?
[10:42] Makie
    No one except the maid.
[10:45] Makie
    I don't know who my mom is,
[10:47] Makie
    and my dad died.
[10:49] Makie
    So I always eat alone.
[10:53] Makie
    Okay, let's eat.
[10:54] Makie
    I had them make lots, so eat all you like.
[11:07] H
    What are those?
[11:09] Makie
    My medicine.
[11:10] Makie
    It'd be really bad if I forget to
    take any, so I lay them all out.
[11:16] (Flashback) MaidA
    Miss, it's time for your checkup.
[11:19] (Flashback) Makie
    Okay, be right there.
[11:23] Makie
    Hey, Haruharu?
[11:25] Makie
    Do you hate carrots?
[11:27] H
    Uh, no...
[11:28] Makie
    That's not good.
[11:29] Makie
    You won't grow big if you
    don't eat your carrots. Right?
[11:34] Makie
    Here, Yotarou.
[11:35] Kiri
    So, this one's named Yotarou.
[11:39] Makie
    Huh?
[11:39] Kiri
    Ah...
[11:41] H
    Kirishima... stuffed animals don't eat carrots.
[11:45] Kiri
    I am well aware of that.
[11:48] Kiri
    Damn...
[11:49] Kiri
    I didn't expect to get exposed so soon.
[11:51] Kiri
    We have no choice now!
[11:54] Kiri
    Forgive us, Makie!
[11:56] Makie
    Wow!
[11:58] Makie
    Wow!
[11:59] Makie
    Wow, wow, wow!
[12:01] Makie
    Hey, did you make this, Haruharu?
[12:03] H
    Um... Well, sort of.
[12:05] Makie
    Wow, when'd you do that?
[12:08] Makie
    Are you a robot expert, Haruharu?
[12:10] Makie
    Are you involved in secret jobs, like me?
[12:13] H
    Huh? Oh... yeah.
[12:16] Makie
    I knew it!
[12:17] Makie
    I thought you were weird.
[12:20] Makie
    I get it now. You're the same as me.
[12:23] H
    "Same."
[12:24] Makie
    Still, wow.
[12:26] Makie
    I was surprised!
[12:28] H
    I'll give him to you.
[12:29] Makie
    Huh?
[12:30] H
    To thank you for helping me out.
[12:32] Makie
    Really?!
[12:33] H
    Yes.
[12:34] Kiri
    Um... hello? Haruna-san?
[12:37] Makie
    Thanks!
[12:38] Makie
    Yotarou, you're lucky!
[12:41] Makie
    Now that you can walk on your own
    two legs, you're finally free!
[12:44] H
    Congratulations, "Yotarou."
[12:47] Kiri
    Shut up, "Haruharu"!
[12:53] Makie
    Here, look this way.
[12:54] H
    Please spare me...
[13:03] Makie
    In Japan, friends wash each other's backs.
[13:08] H
    "Friend"...
[13:10] H
    A person with whom one interacts closely,
[13:12] H
    someone of importance.

[13:22] Makie
    Splash!
[13:24] Makie
    A white whale has surfaced!
[13:27] Makie
    He's going to dive again!
[13:31] H
    Makie, you're free.
[13:33] Makie
    Really?
[13:34] Makie
    I haven't really thought
    about that sort of thing.
[13:53] Makie
    Good night, Yotarou.
[13:55] Makie
    Good night, Haruharu.
[13:57] H
    Good night, Makie.
[14:00] Makie
    Haruharu!
[14:05] Makie
    You're nice and warm, Haruharu.
[14:20] Kiri
    Haruna, we should give a
    status update to Kongou.
[14:24] Kiri
    I also found something interesting,
[14:27] Kiri
    so I want to report that to her.
[14:36] Kongou
    Have you developed a liking
    for that appearance?
[14:38] Kiri
    I-It's only temporary!
[14:42] Kiri
    More importantly, we must apologize.
[14:45] Kiri
    We did not think we would be defeated.
[14:47] Kongou
    I had been monitoring both of you.
[14:49] Kongou
    I am glad you survived,
    even if only as a core.
[14:54] Kongou
    First, the two of you should
    head to Sagami Bay.
[14:57] Kongou
    I have Maya on standby
    off the shore of Kamakura.
[15:00] Kiri
    Wait, Kongou.
[15:01] Kiri
    I've found something interesting.
[15:05] Kiri
    I'll upload the information
    to our shared network.
[15:09] Kongou
    The vibration warhead...
[15:11] Kongou
    That new torpedo the humans developed?
[15:15] Kiri
    Indeed.
[15:16] Kiri
    We are now in the residence of the project's
     lead developer, Osakabe Toujuurou.
[15:22] Kiri
    Osakabe is deceased,
[15:24] Kiri
    but it may be possible for us to
    retrieve some data on the new torpedo.
[15:28] Kiri
    I don't want to call it a way
    for us to save face, but...
[15:30] Kongou
    Fine.
[15:32] Kongou
    Handle it.
[15:33] Kongou
    I'll order Maya to continue standing by.
[15:35] ---
    Then we'll begin the operation.
[15:39] Kiri
    Let's go, Haruna.
[15:44] Kongou
    Humans change their own disposition
    in response to emotions.
[15:48] Kongou
    But, we are the Fog.
[15:50] Kongou
    We are merely acting
    out a temporary persona.
[16:08] Takao
    There it is!
[16:09] Takao
    Iwoto!
[16:10] Takao
    I got here ahead of him,
    just as I'd planned!
[16:15] Takao
    Huh?
[16:19] Takao
    No way!
[16:20] Takao
    What the hell?!
[16:22] Takao
    This attack algorithm... isn't human.
[16:26] Takao
    This is...
[16:27] Takao
    It can't be!
[16:35] Kiri
    There appears to be something
[16:36] Kiri
    in the basement that consumes
    a great deal of energy.
[16:41] Kiri
    That must be where it is.
[16:42] Kiri
    Let's go retrieve the data.
[16:50] Kiri
    What?
[16:51] MaidA
    I was waiting for you.
[16:53] MaidA
    This way, please.
[17:04] MaidA
    Please step inside.
[17:06] Kiri
    H-Hey!
[17:17] Kiri
    What is this place?
[17:30] Tou
    Thank you for coming.
[17:33] H
    You are...
[17:35] Tou
    Osakabe Toujuurou,
[17:38] Tou
    the master of this house.
[17:41] Kiri
    Aren't you supposed to be dead?
[17:43] Kiri
    That's what human records say.
[17:46] Kiri
    Well, it suits us better if you're alive.
[17:49] Kiri
    Why don't you hand over the files on
    the vibration warhead's development?
[17:52] Tou
    The vibration warhead?
[17:54] Tou
    Unfortunately,
[17:56] Tou
    I'm not the one who created that weapon.
[18:00] Kiri
    What do you mean?
[18:02] H
    So, it was Makie...
[18:04] Tou
    You noticed?
[18:06] Tou
    You're right.
[18:08] Tou
    Makie's abilities far surpass my own.
[18:12] Tou
    Because...
[18:15] Tou
    she is not human.
[18:24] Tou
    In the past,
[18:26] Tou
    I was developing weapons that
    could be used against the Fog.
[18:31] Tou
    However, it was a series of
     setbacks and failures.
[18:35] Tou
    I came to realize my
    limitations as a human being.
[18:42] Tou
    So I began a certain project.
[18:47] Tou
    The assumption was that,
    should one be unable
[18:50] Tou
    to achieve a necessary goal,
[18:51] Tou
    one must merely create a
    human with supernatural ability.
[18:57] Tou
    The Design Child Initiative
    created 109 lives.
[19:07] Tou
    Of them, seven were viable.
[19:10] Tou
    And of them, only one survived
    longer than three years.
[19:17] H
    And that was Makie.
[19:21] Tou
    As a result, Makie far exceeded our
    expectations with her achievements.
[19:27] Tou
    However, the government was indifferent.
[19:30] Tou
    In reality, they were afraid of her abilities...
[19:34] Tou
    just as they feared the Fog.
[19:37] Tou
    We were herded into this mansion
[19:41] Tou
    where we were to live under
    government oversight.
[19:45] Tou
    You told her she was free,
[19:50] Tou
    but she is not allowed to
    make any outside contact
[19:52] Tou
    and she cannot lead a normal
    life for a child of her age.
[19:59] Tou
    Still, we were happy.
[20:06] Tou
    I just wanted to see her smile.
[20:10] Tou
    I came to love her as my own daughter.
[20:15] Tou
    However,
[20:17] Tou
    one day, the government
    gave me an order.
[20:21] Tou
    They told me to create a Design Child
    who'll serve as Makie's backup.
[20:26] Tou
    They had decided to discard
    her as casually as they
[20:29] ---
    might an outdated computer.
[20:35] Tou
    I faked my death in an accident
[20:38] Tou
    and vanished from sight, along
    with the data on Design Children,
[20:42] Tou
    so that she would remain unique.
[20:47] Tou
    They still need her talents in order
    to fine tune the vibration warhead.
[20:51] Tou
    That is why she is protected.
[20:55] Kiri
    I don't understand.
[20:57] Kiri
    Why did you choose to live?
[21:00] Kiri
    Wouldn't it make things worse if they
    ever found out about your ruse?
[21:03] Tou
    That is because of lingering attachment.
[21:07] H
    "Lingering attachment."
[21:08] H
    A phrase indicating regret,
    inability to let go.
[21:11] H
    Entry tagged. Categorized. Recorded.
[21:15] Tou
    I wanted to watch over her
    through the years... her smile.
[21:20] Kiri
    Humans are very selfish, aren't they?
[21:24] Tou
    Yes, indeed.
[21:27] Tou
    As you can see, I don't have long to live.
[21:30] Tou
    So, I'd like to ask a favor.
[21:34] H
    What is the favor?
[21:37] Tou
    Please become... friends with Makie.
[21:41] Kiri
    You really are selfish.
[21:43] Kiri
    Asking us to become her friends...
[21:45] H
    You're aware that I am a
    mental model of the Fog?
[21:48] Tou
    She laughs so much when
    she is with you two.
[21:53] Tou
    That is enough.
[21:56] Tou
    Please.
[22:01] Makie
    Haruharu...
[22:10] H
    Makie...
[22:11] H
    A friend...
[22:28] Tou
    As I'd feared...
[22:30] Tou
    Now that she has made contact
    with a mental model,
[22:33] ---
    they will no longer let her be...
