**[00:03] Natsuki**
So you lied to me?
**[00:05] Atri**
What's the matter?
**[00:06] Atri**
Oh!
**[00:07] Atri**
Did you have another bad drea--
**[00:10] Natsuki**
Shut up!
**[00:11] Sign**
HE THEN ASKED WHY.
I SAID IT WAS THE LOVERS FORM OF LIKE.
I TOLD HIM I LIKED HIM FROM THE BOTTOM
OF MY HEART.
NATSUKI DOESN'T SEEM TO DOUBT ME.
**[00:16] Natsuki**
So you just acted like you had a heart?
**[00:19] Atri**
Acted like? What do you mean by--
**[00:22] Natsuki**
It means you were lying!
**[00:23] Natsuki**
It means that you were saying
things you didn't actually mean!
**[00:29] Atri**
I do not understand.
**[00:31] Atri**
My job is to be of use to you
and to make you happy, Natsuki.
**[00:36] Atri**
That is what prompts my actions.
**[00:41] Natsuki**
Did you mean it when you said
that you may have a heart?
**[00:45] Natsuki**
Did you say that because you
truly believe you do?
**[00:55] Atri**
No...
**[00:56] Natsuki**
Then I order you!
**[00:57] Natsuki**
Do not act like you have a heart!
**[00:59] Natsuki**
Don't try to make me happy!
**[01:06] Atri**
Yes, sir.
**[01:10] Natsuki**
Why did you lie to me?
**[01:12] Atri**
I have already answered that question.
**[01:15] Natsuki**
Do you love me?
**[01:18] Atri**
The way you are right now...
**[01:23] Atri**
I dislike you.
**[01:37] Natsuki**
Don't follow me!
**[03:28] Atri**
*I'm high-performance, after all!*
**[03:31] Natsuki**
So it was all a lie...?
**[03:34] Natsuki**
That... and that...
**[03:37] Natsuki**
And that, and that, and that...
All of it.
**[03:40] Natsuki**
They were all just lies?
**[04:05] Sign**
A LEG FALLING INTO THE ABYSS
**[04:16] Ryuuji**
Are you sure he's okay?
It seems pretty serious.
**[04:20] Ririka**
Yeah. When I found Mr. Natsuki
collapsed on the ground,
**[04:23] Ririka**
I thought my heart was going to stop.
**[04:29] Minamo**
Thanks, you two. I'll talk to him
so you guys can go.
**[04:34] Ryuuji**
Are you sure about this?
**[04:35] Minamo**
Yeah.
**[04:36] Ririka**
Okay, we'll leave the rest to you.
**[04:55] Minamo**
Did you two have a fight?
**[05:00] Natsuki**
Minamo...
**[05:02] Natsuki**
Did you know?
**[05:07] Minamo**
Know what?
**[05:09] Natsuki**
I mean... I did know.
She's a Humanoid, after all.
**[05:15] Natsuki**
There's no way she'd have a heart.
**[05:20] Natsuki**
All Atri is doing is
selecting the best action
**[05:24] Natsuki**
by comparing her situation
and people's reactions
**[05:27] Natsuki**
to a vast pool
of corresponding data.
**[05:30] Natsuki**
When it's best to smile, she smiles.
**[05:32] Natsuki**
When it's best to be mad, she's mad.
**[05:34] Natsuki**
She executes her program
**[05:36] Natsuki**
and makes the appropriate expression
and chooses the right words.
**[05:42] Natsuki**
That's what a Humanoid does.
**[05:56] Minamo**
You know...
**[05:57] Minamo**
I think humans are sort of the same way.
**[06:03] Minamo**
That's how I am.
**[06:04] Minamo**
I observe who I'm talking to and think
about how I should respond to them.
**[06:10] Minamo**
I observe their reactions and expressions
and think about what I should say next.
**[06:15] Minamo**
What even is a heart?
**[06:19] Minamo**
Even if we know we're wrong,
even if there's nothing to gain,
**[06:25] Minamo**
we still end up doing something
or saying something.
**[06:30] Minamo**
As you said, Natsu-kun,
I believe that Atri has a heart.
**[06:38] Minamo**
I think it's just that Atri
isn't sure what she should do.
**[06:44] Minamo**
She's anxious about having a heart.
**[06:52] Natsuki**
Hot...
**[06:53] Minamo**
Sorry, I thought you might be cold...
**[06:56] Minamo**
Should I have cooled it down more?
**[06:58] Natsuki**
It's fine.
**[07:02] Natsuki**
This is perfect.
**[07:11] Minamo**
Morning!
**[07:13] Minamo**
I went to check on Atri this morning,
but she was acting like she usually does.
**[07:17] Minamo**
She said she's heading to school.
**[07:20] Natsuki**
I see.
**[07:22] Minamo**
I'll tell Atri and the others at school that
you've caught a cold so you're not coming in today.
**[07:27] Natsuki**
No, I'm going, too.
**[07:29] Minamo**
Huh?
**[07:30] Natsuki**
If I can't hold class,
it'll inconvenience everyone at school.
**[07:34] Minamo**
But...
**[07:35] Natsuki**
Not to mention...
**[07:37] Natsuki**
I can't just ignore Atri forever.
**[07:42] Minamo**
I figured you'd say that...
so I brought your uniform.
**[07:50] Miyo**
It keeps coming down.
**[07:51] Ririka**
Yeah.
**[07:53] Toru**
Oh.
**[07:54] Toru**
Mr. Natsuki!
**[07:57] Ririka**
Huh?
**[07:58] Ririka**
Where's Atrin?
**[08:01] Natsuki**
She's not here?
**[08:02] Minamo**
But she said she'd come...
**[08:11] Natsuki**
What's this?
**[08:12] Catherine**
I don't know who sent it.
**[08:14] Catherine**
But it contains a report on the recall
of Yamasaki Factory's 4th gen models.
**[08:19] Natsuki**
Yamasaki Factory...
**[08:22] Natsuki**
So Atri's model?
**[08:23] Catherine**
Yeah. I'm assuming someone who
knew that she's here sent that.
**[08:31] Natsuki**
One went berserk?
**[08:33] Catherine**
The unit in question
ignored its master's orders,
**[08:37] Catherine**
infiltrated a school,
and severely harmed a child.
**[08:39] Natsuki**
Atri did?
**[08:40] Catherine**
I'm not sure if she's the exact
one that caused that incident.
**[08:44] Catherine**
But the total number of that
model that were sold is 58.
**[08:49] Catherine**
All of them were recovered except for one.
**[08:52] Catherine**
The one who caused the incident
fled and went missing.
**[08:57] Catherine**
But Yamasaki Factory concealed
that information.
**[09:01] Catherine**
At the same time of the recall trouble,
**[09:03] Catherine**
the demand for Humanoids went down
and the company was dissolved.
**[09:06] Catherine**
They never finished
recovering the last model.
**[09:09] Natsuki**
Are you saying that's Atri?
**[09:12] Catherine**
I don't have any proof.
**[09:14] Catherine**
It's very possible that
this report is also fake.
**[09:17] Catherine**
But since I take care of children,
I can't simply ignore this either.
**[09:22] Catherine**
I talked to her myself. "I'm sorry,
but I can't let you into the school."
**[09:32] Catherine**
Go on. I owe you anyway.
**[09:35] Catherine**
I'll take care of the school.
**[09:39] Natsuki**
Thanks.
**[09:50] Natsuki**
*Atri... went berserk?*
**[09:54] Natsuki**
*Is that why her memories were deleted?*
**[09:57] Natsuki**
*No... Maybe she was just pretending and...*
**[10:01] Natsuki**
*Could it be...*
**[10:19] Natsuki**
Who are you?
**[10:20] Yasuda**
My name is Yasuda.
**[10:22] Yasuda**
I was in the development department
at Yamasaki Factory...
**[10:26] Yasuda**
For Humanoids.
**[10:29] Yasuda**
I'm sorry to bother you
when you're in a hurry...
**[10:31] Yasuda**
But do you mind if we have a little chat?
**[10:38] Yasuda**
The rain sure isn't letting up.
**[10:41] Yasuda**
It must be hard getting
around with that leg.
**[10:43] Yasuda**
I'm in the same boat.
I definitely understand.
**[10:47] Natsuki**
You don't need to beat
around the bush. Just tell me.
**[10:50] Natsuki**
Is the one who went berserk and
caused that incident Atri?
**[11:13] Natsuki**
I'm sure that handwriting looks familiar.
**[11:17] Natsuki**
Atri's log...
**[11:22] Yasuda**
YHN-04B-009.
**[11:25] Yasuda**
That's that unit's official serial number.
**[11:29] Yasuda**
Our goal when producing the fourth-gen models
**[11:32] Yasuda**
was to further establish human-like
memories and learning,
**[11:36] Yasuda**
so we had them produce logs
by reading and writing.
**[11:40] Natsuki**
"Today is the day that I
meet my first master."
**[11:44] Natsuki**
"My master's name is..."
**[11:47] Sign**
MY BUYER SAID: "I'M BUSY.
TAKE CARE OF THIS KID FOR ME."
MY MASTER'S NAME IS SHIINA.
FEMALE, 9 YEARS OLD.
SHE SAID, "LET'S BE FRIENDS!"
**[11:48] Natsuki**
"Shiina."
**[11:51] Yasuda**
Well?
**[11:55] Natsuki**
No... That can't be true!
**[12:06] Yasuda**
Creating copies of us humans...
**[12:10] Yasuda**
Is that one of human science's end goals...
**[12:13] Yasuda**
...or a taboo we should never commit?
**[12:16] Yasuda**
That's what Professor Konishi
was trying to figure out.
**[12:22] Yasuda**
Konishi...
**[12:24] Yasuda**
That's my mentor. The one
who created that Humanoid.
**[12:28] Yasuda**
Due to that Humanoid
going berserk,
**[12:30] Yasuda**
he lost his research lab
and died.
**[12:34] Yasuda**
I need to recover that unit
that we were still researching,
**[12:39] Yasuda**
and dispose of it.
**[12:42] Yasuda**
I believe that's the only way I can set things
right with society and the professor.
**[12:47] Yasuda**
Will you help me recover it?
**[12:53] Sign**
RECOVERY CONSENT FORM
**[12:55] Yasuda**
There's only one unit left.
**[12:57] Yasuda**
Once that unit is destroyed,
my job will be done.
**[13:02] Yasuda**
I understand how you feel.
**[13:04] Yasuda**
Those fourth-gen models
were extremely well made.
**[13:07] Yasuda**
They observed the algorithm of human emotions
**[13:10] Yasuda**
and they successfully acted like
they actually had emotions.
**[13:15] Yasuda**
But it's not like they actually have hearts.
**[13:21] Yasuda**
I'm sure you realized it, as well.
**[13:23] Yasuda**
No matter how much emotion you express
to them, it will not reach them.
**[13:27] Yasuda**
Listen well. The only thing
that's going to break...
**[13:30] Yasuda**
...is your own heart.
**[13:38] Natsuki**
Let me think about it a while...
**[14:04] Natsuki**
I'm back.
**[14:05] Atri**
Welcome back.
**[14:10] Natsuki**
You're acting different.
**[14:12] Atri**
Since you ordered me to.
**[14:15] Natsuki**
So if I ask you to speak to me
like you usually do, you would?
**[14:20] Atri**
If you order me to do so.
**[14:24] Natsuki**
Then I order you...
**[14:25] Natsuki**
Speak to me like you usually do.
**[14:30] Atri**
Welcome back, Natsuki!
**[14:32] Atri**
Are you hungry?
**[14:36] Natsuki**
Yeah. Come to think of it,
I haven't eaten anything.
**[14:39] Atri**
Oh, no! That's terrible!
**[14:41] Atri**
Just one moment! I'll go
warm up some Mom #2!
**[14:47] Natsuki**
You mean curry.
**[14:48] Atri**
H-How did you know?!
**[14:51] Natsuki**
It's common to have curry the day
after we have meat and potatoes.
**[14:55] Natsuki**
Because they have the same ingredients.
**[14:57] Atri**
Is that so? You're amazing, Natsuki!
**[15:05] Natsuki**
Atri.
**[15:06] Atri**
Yes?
**[15:07] Natsuki**
Don't act like you have a heart.
**[15:18] Atri**
Yes, sir.
**[15:25] Atri**
Here you go.
**[15:45] Atri**
Is it delicious?
**[15:47] Natsuki**
Does it make you happy when
I say it's delicious?
**[15:54] Atri**
Yes.
**[15:54] Natsuki**
Stop lying to me!
**[15:55] Natsuki**
This doesn't make you happy!
**[15:57] Natsuki**
Your AI is just going to remember
that as the correct response!
**[16:02] Atri**
Yes.
**[16:04] Atri**
Because I am a Humanoid.
**[16:08] Atri**
I am sorry.
**[16:11] Natsuki**
No...
**[16:13] Natsuki**
I should be the one to apologize.
**[16:15] Natsuki**
I'm sure you're not sure what
to do in this situation.
**[16:19] Atri**
That is correct.
**[16:22] Atri**
Are you going out?
**[16:24] Natsuki**
I want to be alone. Don't follow me.
**[16:48] Subordinate A**
What should we do?
**[16:53] Radio**
*The developing low-pressure atmosphere
will increase its wind speed,*
**[16:56] Radio**
*so please be wary of heavy rain.*
**[16:59] Radio**
*Coastal areas will be very
windy, so ships...*
**[17:07] Sign**
RECOVERY CONSENT FORM
**[17:21] Natsuki**
What's that?
**[17:27] Natsuki**
I'm being washed away?
**[17:28] Natsuki**
Crap!
**[17:37] Natsuki**
What is that?
**[17:45] Natsuki**
Atri!
**[18:08] Natsuki**
"Ririka came by and said that the school is
in trouble so I will accompany her back."
**[18:17] Natsuki**
The notebook...
**[18:19] Natsuki**
Crap!
**[18:33] Sign**
I LOVE YOU
**[18:36] Natsuki**
O-Of course...
**[18:41] Natsuki**
Why didn't I realize…
**[18:43] Natsuki**
I...
**[18:48] Sign**
SHIINA... I LOVE YOU
**[18:49] Natsuki**
Atri...
**[18:49] Sign**
I LOVE YOU
**[18:50] Sign**
LOVE YOU
**[18:51] Natsuki**
Atri!
**[19:01] Miyo**
Ms. Hana-chan...
**[19:03] Catherine**
You're rotten enough to take kids hostage?
**[19:06] Yasuda**
You have no reason to worry.
**[19:08] Yasuda**
As soon as that unit gets here,
we'll release them immediately.
**[19:13] Yasuda**
You'll just have to wait
a little bit longer.
**[19:15] Yoko**
Didn't Ririka go get Atri?
**[19:19] Ryuuji**
Yeah. They should be here any minute.
**[19:29] Yasuda**
There it is.
**[19:33] Yasuda**
Where's your master?
**[19:35] Ryuuji**
Where's Natsu?
**[19:36] Ririka**
I couldn't... find him anywhere.
**[19:40] Minamo**
Natsu-kun...
**[19:41] Yasuda**
It doesn't matter.
**[19:43] Yasuda**
Come over here.
**[19:56] Toru**
Atri...
**[19:58] Toru and Miyo**
Ms. Hana-chan!
**[20:01] Catherine**
There, there. You're safe now.
**[20:06] Minamo**
What are you planning to do with Atri?
**[20:19] Minamo**
Atri!
**[20:25] Yasuda**
Now, then. Let the real show begin!
**[20:28] Yasuda**
I need you all to burn this sight
into your memory.
**[20:32] Yasuda**
Witness just how dangerous
this Humanoid truly is!
**[20:40] Yoko**
Atri!
**[20:42] Ryuuji**
You bastard!
**[20:46] Subordinate**
Shut up and watch.
**[20:50] Yasuda**
Honestly...
**[20:54] Yasuda**
You went berserk and caused that incident,
ruined the professor's credibility,
**[20:58] Yasuda**
and even had the nerve to flee.
**[21:00] Yasuda**
Just how much suffering are you
going to put people through?
**[21:07] Yasuda**
The professor created you...
**[21:11] Yasuda**
Yet you want to hurt him so badly?
**[21:20] Minamo**
Atri!
**[21:30] Natsuki**
Damn it...
**[21:44] Natsuki**
Come on...
**[21:46] Natsuki**
please.
**[21:48] Natsuki**
I need...
**[21:51] Natsuki**
To that piece of scrap...
**[21:53] Natsuki**
I need... to go see her!
**[21:59] Natsuki**
She's insolent even though
she's a robot...
**[22:03] Natsuki**
She keeps saying she's high-performance,
but only makes mistakes...
**[22:10] Natsuki**
She never shuts up, and she does all
the wrong things at the worst times.
**[22:16] Natsuki**
But she's got a heart more
beautiful than any human!
**[22:19] Natsuki**
I need to see that piece-of-scrap Humanoid!
**[22:27] Yasuda**
You defective trash!
**[22:29] Yasuda**
It's because of you that the professor...
**[22:32] Yasuda**
The professor... the professor...
**[22:35] Yasuda**
The professor!
**[22:41] Yasuda**
If only... If only you were never created...
**[22:54] Natsuki**
Atri?!
**[22:56] Catherine**
Stop!
**[22:58] Catherine**
That's more than enough.
**[22:59] Yasuda**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[23:02] Yasuda**
This is a Humanoid. This is nothing.
**[23:08] Yasuda**
Isn't that right?
**[23:10] Catherine**
Stop!
**[23:12] Yasuda**
If anything, I guess you got really good at
tricking humans into feeling sorry for you.
**[23:17] Yasuda**
You are truly a terrifying Humanoid.
**[23:20] Yasuda**
There's no saving you.
**[23:22] Yasuda**
You monster!
**[23:26] Natsuki**
Atri!
**[23:34] Atri**
Natsuki...
