# Gachiakuta
In a floating city where the rich discard their waste—and people—Rudo is framed for murder and thrown into the Pit, where a hellscape of mutated trash beasts dwell. To survive, he must wield a new power and join the Cleaners. Rudo doesn’t just aim to battle monsters, but the corrupt who cast him into Hell.

What a shame. We only just bought it, too.

Mending it would just make it
look worse, I'm sure.
**[00:42] Mother**
There's nothing else to be done.
Let's buy you a new one.
**[00:49] Girl**
Yeah.
**[00:52] Girl**
Let's buy a kitty cat next!

Of course, dear.

**[02:15] Apostle 1**
Don't move!
**[02:17] Apostle 1**
Who are you? Only authorized personnel
are allowed in this area.
**[02:23] Apostle 1**
You're that trash raider, aren't you?!
**[02:25] Apostle 1**
A disgusting degenerate who's threatening
the beauty of our city by hoarding trash!
**[02:33] Apostle 1**
Just give yourself up!
**[02:39] Apostle 1**
Trash!
**[02:41] Apostle 1**
Get back here!
**[02:46] Apostle 4**
Found him!
**[02:47] Apostle 4**
Don't let him get away!
**[02:58] Apostle 3**
He's fast!
**[03:01] Apostle 1**
Stop!
**[03:13] Apostles**
He went this way!
**[03:14] Apostles**
Find that trash raider, no matter what!
**[03:23] Rudo**
Bunch of shitheads.
**[03:26] Rudo**
I'm not threatening anything.
**[03:28] Rudo**
You assholes.

**[03:46] Woman A**
Hey, did you hear?
**[03:48] Woman A**
There was another trash raid last night.
**[03:51] Woman B**
Really? What kind of person
runs off with *trash*?
**[03:56] Woman A**
I'm sure it was those tribesfolk—
**[04:03] Woman A**
Oh, *tribesfolk*.
**[04:04] Woman A**
Disgusting. Look at how filthy he is!
**[04:07] Woman B**
I wish they'd stick to their side!
**[04:34] Tribesfolk A**
Seems like the whole city's talking about it.
**[04:36] Tribesfolk B**
The trash raider, huh?
**[04:39] Tribesfolk A**
Gotta be him again, right?
**[04:41] Tribesfolk A**
Wish he'd knock it off.
**[04:43] Tribesfolk B**
He'll bring the Apostles down on us all.
**[04:47] Chiwa**
Rudo.
**[04:49] Chiwa**
Did you go to pick up trash again?
**[04:51] Rudo**
Chiwa.
**[04:52] Chiwa**
The cityfolk are super picky
about trash management!
**[04:57] Chiwa**
There's no telling what they'll do
if they catch you.
**[04:59] Chiwa**
So why do you keep picking up trash?
**[05:02] Rudo**
The wealthy are always throwing out
perfectly usable things.
**[05:06] Rudo**
I can't help but feel sorry for them.
**[05:09] Rudo**
Also, it helps me make money
to cover my living expenses.
**[05:13] Chiwa**
You really love trash, huh, Rudo?
**[05:16] Rudo**
No, it's not about—
**[05:18] Boy A**
Man, what a stink!
**[05:22] Boy A**
I think we've tracked down
the source of the trash stench!
**[05:26] Boy A**
Hey, Chiwa's here too.
**[05:27] Chiwa**
What's your problem?
**[05:29] Boy A**
You're gonna pick up the stink
if you hang out with him.
**[05:32] Boy A**
This loser wears those
filthy gloves all the time.
**[05:36] Boy A**
One touch and they'll give you a rash, I bet.
**[05:43] Boy B**
No one's gonna buy the garbage
this loser fixes up.
**[05:46] Boy B**
You ever seen it?
**[05:48] Boy B**
What he's got under those gloves
is creepy as hell!
**[05:52] Chiwa**
So what? We're no different than him.
**[05:55] Boy B**
Nah, hanging out with him's a bad idea.
**[05:58] Boy C**
He's the son of a homicidal maniac.
**[06:02] Boy A**
The slums here were originally
built to lock away criminals,
**[06:06] Boy A**
and we're their descendants or something.
**[06:09] Boy A**
We all work hard and keep our noses clean
to try to rehabilitate our image.
**[06:16] Boy A**
But this guy's dad screwed it all up
by going on a killing spree!
**[06:21] Boy A**
If you hang out with him,
they'll assume you're just as bad as—
**[06:31] Boy A**
S-See? The eyes of a criminal!
**[06:35] Boy B**
It's true what they say—Like father, like son.
**[06:38] Boy C**
You're gonna be a murderer
too someday, jerkwad.
**[06:44] Rudo**
Why would I...
**[06:50] Chiwa**
Wasn't that an awful thing to say?
**[06:54] Chiwa**
You're nothing like your father.
**[06:56] Chiwa**
I believe in you.
**[06:58] Chiwa**
You're a good person.
You couldn't kill anybody.
**[07:02] Rudo**
Y-Yeah?
**[07:05] Rudo**
Th-Tha—
**[07:07] Chiwa**
Look at this one! He's adorable!
**[07:10] Chiwa**
Did you fix him up?
You really are incredible.
**[07:16] Rudo**
I-I thought you might...
**[07:19] Rudo**
Th-That one's not for sale...
**[07:26] Rudo**
I thought you might...
**[07:27] Chiwa's Mom**
Chiwa.
**[07:29] Chiwa**
Mom!
**[07:30] Chiwa's Mom**
What are you doing? Let's get home now.
**[07:33] Chiwa**
See you later, Rudo!
**[07:36] Chiwa's Mom**
I told you to stay away from that boy.
**[07:39] Chiwa**
But Mom...
**[07:49] Rudo**
I'm ba—
**[07:53] Regto**
Th-That one's not for sale.
I thought you might...
**[07:58] Regto**
That was it, right?
**[08:01] Rudo**
Regto! Were you w-w-watchi...
**[08:03] Regto**
You gotta be clearer about how you feel.
**[08:06] Regto**
And anyway...
**[08:08] Regto**
Let's talk about your
little trash raid last night.
**[08:14] Regto**
Listen up.
**[08:16] Regto**
We're not so hard up that you gotta
put yourself at risk like that.
**[08:21] Regto**
Just let me handle things
until you're grown up.
**[08:23] Rudo**
I'm not at risk.
They never found me before.
**[08:27] Regto**
But they found you last night, right?
**[08:30] Regto**
I know what you're thinking.
**[08:32] Regto**
We're not related by blood.
**[08:34] Regto**
But we're still family.
Stop acting like you owe me something.
**[08:40] Rudo**
Regto. You found me abandoned
as a baby and raised me.
**[08:46] Rudo**
It's not like I owe you something.
**[08:47] Rudo**
I'm just showing my respect, as family.
**[08:50] Regto**
Rudo.
**[08:53] Regto**
Sure wish you could be that honest with Chiwa.
**[08:59] Rudo**
W-We weren't talking about Chiwa!
**[09:01] Rudo**
Ow!
**[09:02] Regto**
Huh? Where'd you get that wound?
**[09:06] Regto**
Did someone shoot you?!
**[09:07] Rudo**
N-No! This isn't—
**[09:13] Regto**
Give me a look.
**[09:15] Regto**
I'll change the bandages
on your hands while I'm at it.
**[09:18] Regto**
Take off the gloves.
**[09:23] Regto**
Stay away from the dumpsites, okay?
**[09:26] Regto**
You might get it even worse next time.
**[09:30] Rudo**
Seriously, it's not that bad.
**[09:35] Rudo**
Compared to the wounds
my dad left me with, anyway.
**[09:42] Regto**
Major crimes are an instant death sentence—
a drop into the Pit.
**[09:47] Regto**
That's been the rule of this city
since ancient times.
**[09:51] Regto**
Your father was thrown into the Pit.
**[09:55] Regto**
So you should take care of yourself
and the things you care about.
**[10:00] Regto**
Even in this shit heap of a world.
**[10:08] Rudo**
* My hands have been pitch black like this*
* for as long as I can remember.*
**[10:12] Rudo**
* Sometimes this incredible pain*
* runs through them.*
**[10:15] Rudo**
* The stares of people unnerved*
* by the sight of my injury*
**[10:20] Rudo**
*wore down my spirit a lot when I was a kid.*
**[10:25] Rudo**
*That was when Regto gave me these gloves.*
**[10:32] Rudo**
*They were beat-up like this even then,*
**[10:35] Rudo**
*but they reduced the pain.*
**[10:38] Rudo**
*I owe Regto more than I can ever repay.*
**[10:43] Regto**
Anyway, Rudo.
**[10:44] Regto**
You'd better tell Chiwa how you feel fast,
or someone's gonna take her from you.
**[10:49] Regto**
She's such a cutie, y'know?
**[10:51] Regto**
Go give her this tomorrow
with a sweet li'l kiss.
**[10:53] Rudo**
Like hell!
**[10:54] Rudo**
*He's pretty lowbrow, though.*
**[10:57] Regto**
Do it, or you won't get fed!
**[10:58] Rudo**
Why do I have to?!
**[11:00] Regto**
I'm saying this for your own good!
**[11:03] Regto**
Fix that sour look of yours, too!
**[11:05] Regto**
Go on! Smile!
**[11:08] Rudo**
You're gonna tear my face open!
**[11:15] Rudo**
Smile...
**[11:17] (Flashback) Regto**
If you can't smile with your own power,
**[11:20] (Flashback) Regto**
learn how to act like someone who can.
**[11:25] Rudo**
Talking like he knows so much...
**[11:27] Rudo**
There's no way it'll work
with a face like mine.
**[11:30] Rudo**
Stupid busybody.
**[11:36] Rudo**
Guess she'll still be home now?
**[11:53] Rudo**
*They say the Pit is a giant trash dump.*
**[11:56] Rudo**
*All trash ends up there in the end.*
**[12:02] Rudo**
* And anyone who commits a crime*
* eventually ends up*
**[12:08] Rudo**
*in the Pit.*
**[12:18] Crowd**
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[12:20] Crowd**
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[12:23] Crowd**
Send the filth to the Pit!
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[12:24] Rudo**
*That blackness swallowed up my father, too.*
**[12:27] Rudo**
*So I hear.*
**[12:29] Rudo**
*What happens to the people sent down there?*
**[12:34] Chiwa**
They're sending down another criminal, huh?
**[12:36] Rudo**
Yeah...
**[12:39] Chiwa**
Morning.
**[12:40] Rudo**
Ch-Chiwa!
**[12:41] Chiwa**
Fancy running into you!
**[12:42] Chiwa**
Don't see you around here often.
**[12:46] Rudo**
Oh, well...
**[12:48] Chiwa**
It's a pretty awful view, huh?
**[12:51] Chiwa**
In a lot of ways...
**[12:53] Rudo**
No different than anywhere
else in the slums, right?
**[12:58] Chiwa**
I heard they built the slums
on the edge of the city
**[13:01] Chiwa**
so they could drive it into our heads...
**[13:05] Chiwa**
"If you do anything bad, it's the Pit for you."
**[13:09] Chiwa**
It's awful, don't you think?
**[13:11] Chiwa**
Everyone who lives here has to see
the executions, whether we want to or not.
**[13:18] Chiwa**
Hey, Rudo.
**[13:21] Chiwa**
I don't want to see you thrown in there.
**[13:26] Chiwa**
I know there's a lot of trash that
doesn't deserve to be thrown out,
**[13:30] Chiwa**
but if you put yourself in danger
and get caught just for that...
**[13:34] Chiwa**
You really could end up getting sent to the Pit.
**[13:38] Rudo**
Regto said the same thing.
**[13:39] Chiwa**
He worries about you
because he loves you, too.
**[13:44] Rudo**
Loves me, huh?
**[13:47] Rudo**
Loves me... *too*?
**[13:53] Chiwa**
Oh, I didn't mean it like—
**[13:56] Chiwa**
Um... um...
**[14:05] Chiwa**
R-Rudo?
**[14:07] Chiwa**
Huh?
**[14:08] Chiwa**
That stuffed animal...
**[14:11] Rudo**
Th-This... I just saw it and
thought you might like it, so...
**[14:19] Rudo**
You might not like it,
since it came from the dump.
**[14:22] Rudo**
But I thought it'd be happier with you
than just sitting there.
**[14:29] Rudo**
So...
**[14:38] Chiwa**
He's lovely. I'll treasure him forever.
**[14:58] Chiwa**
*I've gotta tell Regto right away.*
**[15:00] Chiwa**
*Can't wait to hear what he says.*
**[15:14] Tribesfolk C**
What are Apostles doing here?
**[15:16] Tribesfolk D**
Did something happen?
**[15:18] Tribesfolk C**
No way...
**[15:21] Rudo**
I've gotta tell him... I mean, brag!
**[15:30] Rudo**
* But I bet what he'll say is, "go back there*
* and actually say the words to her."*
**[15:39] Rudo**
*I'm back. Listen up, Regto.*
**[15:41] Rudo**
*I ran into Chiwa and--*
**[15:42] Regto**
Hey, welcome back, Rudo.
**[16:05] Rudo**
Wh...
**[16:06] Rudo**
What the hell did you do?!
**[16:28] Rudo**
Son of a...
**[16:32] Rudo**
Get... back here...
**[16:43] Regto**
...do...
**[16:46] Regto**
Rudo...
**[16:50] Regto**
...run...
**[16:51] Rudo**
Regto...
**[16:52] Regto**
Run... Run...
**[16:53] Rudo**
Regto!
**[16:55] Rudo**
Why?
**[16:56] Rudo**
Why did they...
**[16:58] Rudo**
I'll get help! You're gonna pull through!
**[17:01] Regto**
Rudo!
**[17:03] Regto**
Run!
**[17:05] Regto**
Change this shit heap of a world!
**[17:15] Rudo**
Why?
**[17:24] Apostle 1**
Clear!
**[17:25] Apostle 3**
Turn yourself in!
**[17:26] Apostle 3**
We caught you red-handed!
We're taking you in for murder!
**[17:30] Rudo**
Why...
**[17:32] Rudo**
What are you talking about?
**[17:34] Rudo**
No... It wasn't me.
**[17:37] Rudo**
Why would I do something like this?!
**[17:39] Rudo**
Besides, Regto's still alive...
**[17:40] Apostle 3**
Don't be stupid!
**[17:43] Apostle 3**
You can't talk your way out of this, murderer!
**[17:46] Apostle 3**
You're covered in his blood!
**[17:49] Rudo**
No! It wasn't me!
**[17:51] Rudo**
The real killer just ran off!
**[17:53] Rudo**
Go get him—
**[17:54] Apostle 1**
Be quiet, murderer!
**[17:55] Rudo**
Hang on. You have to listen—
**[17:57] Apostle 3**
You can't talk your way
out of this, tribesfolk filth!
**[18:01] Rudo**
I said you've got it all wrong! Listen!
**[18:03] Rudo**
This is bullshit! I—
**[18:06] Boy B**
Hey, did you hear?
**[18:07] Boy B**
Rudo finally killed someone.
**[18:10] Boy C**
And his adoptive father, at that.
**[18:12] Boys**
I knew he was bad news!
**[18:12] Chiwa**
No way... Did Rudo really?
**[18:16] Judge**
You have besmirched this beautiful,
sacred land with your heinous act.
**[18:21] Judge**
Not content to simply steal trash
and befoul our city,
**[18:25] Judge**
you committed the far more filthy
sin of taking the life of another!
**[18:30] Judge**
Even if the victim was a mere tribesfolk,
those who commit murder
**[18:36] Judge**
must not stay in these lands
for one second longer!
**[18:41] Judge**
You are hereby sentenced to death!
**[18:46] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[18:49] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to The Pit!
**[18:49] Judge**
The Pit shall consume all filth!
**[18:54] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to the Pit!
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[18:57] Rudo**
*What the hell is going on?*
**[19:00] Rudo**
*How could this have happened?*
**[19:03] Rudo**
*I didn't... I didn't do it.*
**[19:06] Rudo**
*Please.*
**[19:08] Rudo**
*Please, someone listen to me!*
**[19:16] Rudo**
Chiwa! Regto's been killed!
**[19:19] Rudo**
Please, you have to find the culprit!
**[19:21] Chiwa**
I believed in you.
**[19:25] Chiwa**
But you really are a murderer's son.
**[19:30] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[19:32] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[19:34] Tribesfolk**
Send the filth to the Pit!
Send the filth to the Pit!
**[19:47] Rudo**
You're the real filth here.
**[19:50] Rudo**
Piles of shit with no will of your own.
**[19:55] Rudo**
You've got eyes and ears,
**[19:57] Rudo**
but you don't use them to see or to listen.
**[20:00] Rudo**
Just worthless lumps of flesh.
**[20:04] Rudo**
I'm gonna send you all...
**[20:18] Rudo**
That's him.
**[20:33] Rudo**
*I'll send you to hell.*
**[20:36] Rudo**
*All of you...*
**[20:38] Rudo**
*All you people...*
**[20:40] Rudo**
*Every one of you...*
**[20:42] Rudo**
I'll kill you a—
**[21:13] Rudo**
What the...
**[21:17] Rudo**
Am I...
**[21:20] Rudo**
The hell is that smell?!
**[21:30] Rudo**
What is this place?
**[21:34] Rudo**
They sent me to the Pit, and then...
**[21:45] Rudo**
*They said it was a giant dumpsite.*
**[21:53] Rudo**
* The Pit, where all filth ends up—*
* trash, people, all of it—*
**[22:05] Rudo**
*It really was hell.*

Another tribesfolk got the drop.

Why do they commit crimes if they

Who knows what goes through
the minds of filth like that?
**[00:26] Sphereite D**
They really are disgusting.
**[02:42] Rudo**

**[05:01] Rudo**
*But first, there's that one guy...*
**[05:03] Rudo**
*The son of a bitch who killed Regto!*
**[05:06] Rudo**
*I'm gonna find that guy...*
**[05:11] Rudo**
*and beat the shit out of him!*
**[05:13] Rudo**
*So I've gotta live long enough to do that!*
***SIGN*** Episode 2
***SIGN*** "The Inhabited"
**[05:29] Enjin**
Hey, is he...
**[05:40] Rudo**
This place, and all of you,
stink to high heaven!
**[05:44] Rudo**
Screw you!
**[05:48] Rudo**
You stink worse than Regto's farts!
**[07:05] Rudo**
Reeks...
**[07:58] Rudo**
*Wh-Who the hell is this?*
**[08:09] Rudo**
What do you think you're—
**[08:15] Rudo**
*A mask?*
**[08:17] Rudo**
*I can breathe!*
**[08:20] Rudo**
H-Hey, are you a local?
**[08:25] Rudo**
What is this place?
**[08:27] Rudo**
What was that monster?!
**[08:34] Enjin**
Be quiet.
**[08:38] Rudo**
What is this world?!
**[08:42] Enjin**
I said shut up, kid.
**[08:44] Rudo**
I just fell down here.
I don't know anything.
**[08:47] Rudo**
What is the Pit... this underground place?!
**[08:50] Enjin**
We're not underground.
**[08:51] Enjin**
And we need to stay quiet, so shut up, kid.
**[08:53] Rudo**
I can't hear you! Talk more clearly!
**[08:56] Enjin**
I freaking *told* you...
**[08:59] Enjin**
We're not underground! We're *aboveground*!
**[09:03] Enjin**
This trash was all thrown here
by you stupid Sphereites!
**[09:07] Enjin**
And I've been telling you
to shut the hell up!
**[09:10] Enjin**
They've noticed us thanks to you!
**[09:15] Enjin**
They're trash beasts!
**[09:16] Enjin**
They're just what they look like—
monsters made of trash!
**[09:19] Enjin**
So you can't take one down for good
with ordinary weapons!
**[09:23] Enjin**
They also react to the sounds people make!
**[09:26] Enjin**
That's why I kept trying to whisper,
while you kept shouting like a moron!
**[09:31] Enjin**
And the trash beasts
in this region are special,
**[09:33] Enjin**
so I was trying to keep a low profile!
**[09:35] Enjin**
I'm not even a loud guy in the first place!
**[09:39] Enjin**
This is all your fault, you shitty little brat!
**[09:45] Rudo**
*His umbrella...*
**[09:51] Enjin**
Whew, feel better after all that yelling.
**[09:55] Enjin**
Anyway, better get to cleaning.
**[10:09] Rudo**
*The monster's not regenerating.*
**[10:12] Rudo**
*What's with that umbrella?*
**[10:20] Enjin**
Quite a crowd, huh?
**[10:37] Rudo**
*He cleared them all up in one swipe.*
**[10:40] Rudo**
* Is that some kind of tech*
* they use here in the Pit?*
**[10:42] Rudo**
*Or is it unique to him?*
**[10:45] Rudo**
* If I had power like that,*
* I'd show all those assholes.*
**[11:19] Enjin**
Umbreaker... Octashredder.
**[11:48] Enjin**
All right. Still alive?
**[11:51] Rudo**
Who the hell are you?
**[12:01] Enjin**
Name's Enjin.
**[12:05] Enjin**
I'm a simple Cleaner.
**[12:09] Enjin**
Man, that stinks!
**[12:15] Enjin**
I shouldn't have taken the mask off!
**[12:17] Enjin**
Why'd you make me do it, asshole?!
**[12:24] (Flashback) Regto**
What happened to you?
**[12:26] (Flashback) Rudo**
Got pushed over.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Regto**
Pushed over? Oh, those brats again?
**[12:32] (Flashback) Rudo**
I told them objects are alive,
and they laughed and hit me.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Regto**
Did you hit 'em back?
**[12:40] (Flashback) Regto**
Good.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Rudo**
You told me a long time ago.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Rudo**
If an object is treated with care,
a soul will eventually come to inhabit it.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Regto**
And you took that to mean they're alive, huh?
**[12:55] (Flashback) Regto**
That's just an old legend.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Regto**
I'm sure it was about promoting a mindset.
Taking care of the objects in your life.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Regto**
I believe in it, though.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Regto**
I think this towel has its own soul,
**[13:09] (Flashback) Regto**
and that's why it gets you so clean.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Rudo**
So this thing, and that thing, and that one.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Rudo**
They all have souls?
**[13:23] (Flashback) Regto**
Could be!
**[13:27] (Flashback) Rudo**
These gloves, too?
**[13:29] (Flashback) Regto**
If you treat them with care,
in time, a soul will inhabit them.
**[13:37] Rudo**
Treat them with care.
**[13:39] Rudo**
Regto...
**[13:45] Rudo**
Wh-What the hell is this?
**[13:46] Enjin**
Hey, you're up?
**[13:49] Rudo**
You're that shithead from before!
**[13:51] Enjin**
Enjin, if you please.
**[13:53] Enjin**
And is that how you treat
the man who saved your life, brat?
**[13:56] Rudo**
Saved my life?!
**[13:57] Rudo**
Then what's with the chains?
**[13:59] Rudo**
What're you gonna do with me?!
**[14:01] Enjin**
You'd passed out, so I kindly
decided to bring you along.
**[14:04] Rudo**
Let me go, you asshole!
**[14:06] Rudo**
I've gotta get back up there right now!
**[14:11] Enjin**
Sorry, but that's not really possible.
**[14:14] Enjin**
That place up there—we call it the Sphere.
**[14:19] Enjin**
How are you gonna get up into the sky?
**[14:22] Enjin**
The Sphere's always on the move, too.
**[14:26] Enjin**
There are other factors, too.
**[14:28] Enjin**
But all in all, it's not possible now.
**[14:31] Enjin**
Get it through your head and stay quiet.
**[14:37] Rudo**
Screw that.
**[14:38] Rudo**
I'm going back there.
**[14:40] Rudo**
I'm going back, no matter what you say!
**[14:43] Rudo**
And you said it's not possible *now*.
**[14:46] Rudo**
You know something, right?
**[14:47] Rudo**
You know how to get up there...
to the Sphere!
**[14:50] Rudo**
I wanna know about this world,
about those monsters,
**[14:54] Rudo**
and about that power you use!
**[14:56] Rudo**
All of it... Tell me all of it!
**[14:58] Rudo**
I'm gonna use it all to beat the tar out of
that asshole and the shitheads on the Sphere!
**[15:04] Rudo**
And I'm not gonna shut up until you tell me!
**[15:10] Enjin**
That motormouth of yours
never stops running, does it?
**[15:13] Enjin**
If you're that desperate, I'll educate you...
**[15:16] Enjin**
about what kind of place the Ground here is.
**[15:22] Rudo**
Hey! Hey!
**[15:27] Rudo**
You asshole! Let me go!
**[15:36] Rudo**
What the...
**[15:38] Enjin**
Well, have fun!
**[15:40] Rudo**
Wait! You haven't told me anything!
**[15:43] Rudo**
Hey!
**[15:45] Rudo**
What's that jerk's problem?!
**[15:53] Rudo**
*People?*
**[15:54] Baldy**
A kid.
**[15:55] Shy Guy**
It's a kid!
**[15:56] Hoodie**
What's he doing here?
**[15:57] Strongman**
Thought there was another with him.
**[15:59] Dress Shirt**
No way. You think...
**[16:02] Dress Shirt**
His clothes... Can it be...
**[16:06] Dress Shirt**
Are you a Sphereite?
**[16:09] Baldy**
No, can't be sure yet.
**[16:11] Shy Guy**
Wh-Where did you come from?
**[16:13] Rudo**
Um... well...
**[16:16] Rudo**
I fell from the Sphere, I guess.
**[16:21] Dress Shirt**
No way! You're a real Sphereite?!
**[16:24] Hodoie**
I've never seen one alive!
**[16:26] Baldy**
It's a miracle!
**[16:27] Rudo**
Who are you guys?
**[16:29] Hoodie**
Do Sphereites speak our language?
**[16:32] Baldy**
Could still be a fake.
**[16:34] Dress Shirt**
No. I don't think he's lying.
**[16:39] Rudo**
H-Hey!
**[16:41] Hoodie**
He's alive.
**[16:42] Baldy**
He's alive.
**[16:43] Strongman**
I can't believe you survived!
**[16:45] Dress Shirt**
It's just, it's usually your
dead bodies that we find.
**[16:49] Dress Shirt**
Still, how awful.
**[16:51] Dress Shirt**
Look at the way they tied you up.
**[16:54] Dress Shirt**
Let's get those off you.
**[16:57] Rudo**
*They seem way nicer than that Enjin guy.*
**[17:02] Dress Shirt**
There, he's tied much tighter now.
**[17:04] Dress Shirt**
Wouldn't want our precious
Sphereite getting away.
**[17:10] Strongman**
He's struggling *now*?
**[17:13] Dress Shirt**
The bodies of Sphereites fetch a high price.
**[17:17] Dress Shirt**
The whole body, of course,
but also eyes, arms, and legs.
**[17:21] Dress Shirt**
There are people who'll pay out the nose
for just their clothing.
**[17:25] Dress Shirt**
Still...
**[17:26] Dress Shirt**
Never thought we'd get
our hands on a live one!
**[17:31] Dress Shirt**
What, wanna know why anyone
would want a Sphereite?
**[17:37] Dress Shirt**
It's 'cause we hate you people.
**[17:40] Dress Shirt**
You dropped your trash down here,
**[17:43] Dress Shirt**
and it built up and built up
and turned the air into poison.
**[17:48] Dress Shirt**
It even created monsters!
**[17:50] Dress Shirt**
People who've been killed by the
monsters... Crushed by the trash...
**[17:55] Dress Shirt**
Lost their homes to toxified soil...
**[17:59] Dress Shirt**
There's tons of them here!
**[18:01] Dress Shirt**
What do you think they'll do
when they see you?
**[18:05] Dress Shirt**
Torture you?
**[18:07] Dress Shirt**
Make a show of tearing you apart?
**[18:09] Dress Shirt**
After we sell you, we might pay to see it too.
**[18:14] Dress Shirt**
Still, you're all skin and bones.
**[18:17] Dress Shirt**
Don't want you dying of hunger.
**[18:21] Dress Shirt**
C'mon, eat up, now!
**[18:23] Dress Shirt**
Oh, that's right!
**[18:25] Dress Shirt**
Bet his tastes are too sensitive
for our trash food down here!
**[18:29] Dress Shirt**
You lofty Sphereites never
even touch trash, do you?!
**[18:33] Dress Shirt**
Go on, little one! Eat!
**[18:35] Baldy**
I mean, it's actual food waste.
**[18:38] Dress Shit**
Go on, eat!
**[18:40] Dress Shit**
Eat and live on!
**[18:42] Dress Shit**
You've got a lot of suffering ahead of you!
**[18:52] Shy Guy**
H-His fingers...
**[19:02] Rudo**
It's not trash.
**[19:04] Rudo**
It's still...
**[19:07] Rudo**
totally edible.
**[19:10] Rudo**
Everyone I meet keeps talking...
**[19:13] Rudo**
about "Sphere" this and "Ground" that...
**[19:16] Rudo**
"Trash" this and "tribesfolk" that...
**[19:20] Rudo**
"Up here" this and "down here" that...
**[19:25] Rudo**
Quit sorting people
with the labels you choose!
**[19:34] Rudo**
You all think you can
treat me however you want.
**[19:38] Rudo**
I won't take it any more.
**[19:45] Enjin**
Amazing energy.
**[19:50] Enjin**
Guess I had him pegged from the start.
**[19:54] (Flashback) Regto**
If you treat an object with care,
a soul will come to inhabit it someday.
**[19:59] (Flashback) Regto**
And I believe that soul...
**[20:04] (Flashback) Regto**
will come to your aid.
**[20:08] Hoodie**
No way! There are Sphereites
who can do it too?!
**[20:11] Enjin**
Those who can give life to objects
and draw out their power.
**[20:16] Enjin**
Givers.
**[20:19] Dress Shirt**
Never mind that!
**[20:20] Dress Shirt**
That asshole Sphereite has gotta pay!
**[20:23] Dress Shirt**
Kill him! Kill him, kill him!
**[20:26] Dress Shirt**
Kill that little freak! Kill him *now*!
**[20:34] Baldy**
Aim for the chain!
**[20:35] Baldy**
A Giver is helpless without their object!
**[20:41] Baldy**
Yes!
**[20:44] Enjin**
Are you kidding me?!
**[20:47] Enjin/Hoodie**
He can use more than one object?!
**[20:55] Dress Shirt**
What the...
**[20:57] Dress Shirt**
Who the hell are you?!
**[21:01] Dress Shirt**
You shitty little Sphereite!
**[21:04] Dress Shirt**
Die! Just die, you monster!
**[21:07] Enjin**
Hey, now. Calm down there, son.
**[21:11] Enjin**
That's far enough.
**[21:20] Rudo**
Enjin... was it?
**[21:23] Enjin**
Yes.
**[21:24] Rudo**
What did I just...
**[21:30] Rudo**
*What was all that?*
**[21:32] Rudo**
*The moment I remembered Regto's words,*
**[21:35] Rudo**
*my gloves...*
**[21:38] Enjin**
Figures. Using power like that
will wear a body down.
**[21:43] Enjin**
Sorry about that.
**[21:45] Enjin**
I had to make sure your power
was the real thing.
**[21:49] Enjin**
I'll tell you all you want to know
about this world and your power.
**[21:55] Enjin**
In exchange...
**[21:56] Enjin**
Join the Cleaners.
**[21:58] Enjin**
We need people like you.
**[22:04] Rudo**
I...
**[22:07] Rudo**
I'd rather not.

**[00:13] Zanka**
Rare for you to contact me, Enjin.
**[00:18] Zanka**
What're you up—
**[00:20] Zanka**
Huh?
**[00:22] Zanka**
You found a natural talent?
**[00:25] Enjin**
That's right.
**[00:26] Enjin**
Happened across him in No Man's Land.
**[00:29] Enjin**
Turns out he's got powers.
**[00:32] Enjin**
Never seen anything quite like them, either.
**[00:35] Enjin**
I've recruited him for the Cleaners.
**[00:38] Enjin**
I'll introduce you two once I'm done here.
**[00:41] Enjin**
Later.
**[00:43] Rudo**
Hey, I never said
I was joining your weird gang.
**[00:47] Enjin**
You think you're in a position to refuse?
**[00:49] Rudo**
I told you, I've gotta get back up to the—
**[00:52] Alice**
You got lucky, kiddo!
**[00:54] Rudo**
Wh-Who's this old man?!
**[00:55] Alice**
It takes a real dummy to go
wandering around in No Man's Land!
**[00:58] Alice**
If you'd breathed that air
for much longer, you'd be dead!
**[01:03] Alice**
And you got yourself kidnapped to boot.
**[01:07] Alice**
Talk about *un*lucky!
**[01:09] Alice**
You better thank the nice man over there!
**[01:12] Enjin**
You better thank me, kiddo.
**[01:14] Rudo**
*Asshole.*
**[01:17] Alice**
And I'm an old *woman*!
**[01:20] Alice**
Treatment's done!
**[01:21] Alice**
Pay up and get out!
**[01:24] Alice**
And don't forget, I'm an old *woma*—
**[01:31] Rudo**
Thanks for paying.
**[01:35] Rudo**
But seriously, all I want is info.
**[01:37] Rudo**
I don't have time to be joining your Clea—
**[01:39] Enjin**
I'd hoped the whole kidnapping thing
**[01:41] Enjin**
would have shown you how people
down here view Sphereites.
**[01:46] Enjin**
You're free to ask around if you want,
**[01:49] Enjin**
but you're screwed
if they find out who you are.
**[01:54] Enjin**
To put it in plainer terms...
**[01:58] Enjin**
This isn't the kind of place
where info comes free.
**[02:03] Enjin**
Shut up and follow me.
**[04:00] Enjin**
Well, someone's got an appetite.
**[04:03] Enjin**
You barfed up a storm
after that garbage you ate,
**[04:07] Enjin**
so it figures you'd be hungry.
**[04:12] Rudo**
* I thought the Pit—the Ground—*
* would be nothing but trash,*
**[04:17] Rudo**
* but they've got real cities*
* and food and everything.*
**[04:25] Enjin**
So, what's your name?
**[04:28] Rudo**
Rudo.
**[04:30] Enjin**
Rudo, huh?
**[04:32] Enjin**
Good name.
**[04:39] Rudo**
S-Sure.
**[04:41] Enjin**
All right, here comes your Ground life primer.
**[04:47] Enjin**
Here on the Ground, trash isn't
the only thing that tends to build up.
**[04:50] Enjin**
The same goes for emotions—
what we call "Anima."
**[04:52] Enjin**
Sometimes Anima converts into energy,
**[04:55] Enjin**
which has a variety of consequences.
**[04:59] Enjin**
The birth of a trash beast
is one such consequence.
**[05:05] Enjin**
They'll attack humans on sight.
**[05:08] Enjin**
Generally, they stick
to the dump areas outside,
**[05:13] Enjin**
but they'll come into the cities
from time to time, too.
**[05:17] Rudo**
Why not fortify the whole city, then?
**[05:20] Enjin**
Human nature—we can't
stay cooped up forever.
**[05:26] Rudo**
Makes sense.
**[05:28] Enjin**
Like I said, regular weapons
don't work on trash beasts.
**[05:33] Enjin**
Their cores are made of Anima.
**[05:36] Enjin**
Your gloves can beat them, though.
**[05:41] Rudo**
These...
**[05:43] Enjin**
Like the knife a chef keeps
dutifully sharpened for years;
**[05:47] Enjin**
like the trusty pen kept
at a writer's side...
**[05:50] Enjin**
When a person treats an object
with care for a long time,
**[05:55] Enjin**
Anima inhabits it.
**[05:58] Enjin**
We call objects like that "vital instruments."
**[06:03] Enjin**
The Anima of a trash beast's core can only be
defeated by the Anima of a vital instrument.
**[06:08] Enjin**
But there aren't many people who can
draw out the power of a vital instrument.
**[06:14] Rudo**
And I'm one of the people who can?
**[06:19] Enjin**
That's right.
**[06:20] Enjin**
You and I both have that power.
**[06:23] Enjin**
We're known as Givers.
**[06:29] Rudo**
*Regto was right all along.*
**[06:35] Enjin**
In other words...
**[06:37] Enjin**
the Cleaners are a gang
of trash beast exterminators!
**[06:40] Enjin**
And we need more Givers.
**[06:43] Rudo**
That's why you want to recruit me?
**[06:46] Rudo**
And if I join you, you'll really teach me
how to get back up there?
**[06:51] Enjin**
Well, the thing of it is...
**[06:54] Enjin**
I don't have the slightest idea
how you get up there.
**[06:59] Rudo**
But you totally acted like you did!
**[07:01] Enjin**
Never *said* I did, though.
**[07:03] Rudo**
You—
**[07:07] Enjin**
Our boss is pretty well-informed, though.
**[07:10] Enjin**
Might know a thing or two.
**[07:13] Rudo**
So I've gotta meet your boss first?!
**[07:17] Enjin**
Who gave you those gloves?
**[07:22] Rudo**
My dad.
**[07:24] Rudo**
These gloves are like...
**[07:29] Rudo**
the only thing I have to remember him by.
**[07:35] Enjin**
Got it.
**[07:37] Enjin**
That explains why you take such
good care of those beat-up old things.
**[07:42] Enjin**
"When something matters to you,
you should take care of it."
**[07:45] Enjin**
It's a simple idea,
but lots of people can't do it.
**[07:49] Enjin**
They're good gloves. They've got soul.
**[07:51] Enjin**
Treat them with care, okay?
**[08:03] Enjin**
Whoops.
**[08:04] Enjin**
Anyway, this ends your Ground life primer.
**[08:08] Enjin**
Just wait here a minute and—
**[08:09] Rudo**
Enjin.
**[08:11] Rudo**
Um...
**[08:12] Rudo**
Sorry I didn't say it earlier, but I owe you.
**[08:15] Rudo**
For everything.
**[08:22] Enjin**
I'm giving you a little money for now.
**[08:24] Enjin**
Don't spend it all in one place.
**[08:26] Rudo**
Money, too?
**[08:28] Rudo**
You sure about this?
**[08:29] Enjin**
Totally sure!
**[08:31] Enjin**
It's what I made from selling your clothes.
**[08:35] Enjin**
It's also how I paid for
your treatment and the food.
**[08:37] Enjin**
So think nothing of it, okay?
**[08:39] Enjin**
For real. I mean it.
**[08:43] Rudo**
I'm gonna kick your ass!
**[08:46] Enjin**
You couldn't go around in those
Sphereite threads down here anyway.
**[08:50] Enjin**
Besides, took you long enough to notice.
**[08:52] Rudo**
Is this always how you—
**[08:55] Enjin**
Anyway, I'm gonna meet up with your trainer.
**[08:59] Enjin**
You just wait here.
**[09:00] Rudo**
* I'm quitting these jerks*
* the second I find a way up there!*
**[09:08] Rudo**
My money!
**[09:09] Rudo**
That's my money!
**[09:11] Rudo**
Get back here, you asshole cat!
**[09:27] Rudo**
Get back here!
**[09:36] Rudo**
Wasting my damn time...
**[09:38] Rudo**
Quit struggling—
**[09:41] Zanka**
Hey.
**[09:47] Zanka**
That's mine.
**[09:50] Zanka**
Give it back, you little shit.
***SIGN*** Episode 3
***SIGN*** "The Ground"
**[09:58] Rudo**
The hell are you talking about?
**[10:01] Rudo**
This money's mine.
**[10:03] Rudo**
What kind of stupid—
**[10:04] Zanka**
Not that.
**[10:06] Zanka**
The stick.
**[10:08] Rudo**
This?
**[10:11] Rudo**
It's just a dumb stick.
**[10:23] Rudo**
*What's with this guy?*
**[10:26] Rudo**
*That's the same emblem Enjin wears...*
**[10:29] Zanka**
You think you can steal someone's
treasure and get off scot-free?
**[10:37] Rudo**
*Is he... a Cleaner?*
**[10:42] Zanka**
Looks like I better teach you a lesson.
**[10:47] Zanka**
I'll give you a taste of my Lovely Assistaff.
**[10:57] Zanka**
You steal a person's treasure,
**[11:00] Zanka**
you better be prepared to deal
with the consequences...
**[11:05] Zanka**
Rudo, the new talent.
**[11:08] Rudo**
You know my name?
**[11:10] Rudo**
So you really are with the Cleaners?
**[11:12] Zanka**
Yeah, Enjin filled me in about you.
**[11:16] Zanka**
I'm with the Akuta Cleaners.
**[11:19] Zanka**
The name's Zanka Nijiku.
**[11:21] Zanka**
Enjin's put me in charge of your training.
**[11:26] Zanka**
Never thought I'd have to start
with something as basic
**[11:31] Zanka**
as "don't steal from people
if you value your hide."
**[11:35] Rudo**
I was just using it to get my money
back from the thieving cat!
**[11:39] Zanka**
Go tell your daddy he didn't raise you right.
**[11:45] Rudo**
*This asshole doesn't know a single thing...*
**[11:49] Rudo**
*and he's insulting Regto?!*
**[11:52] (Flashback) Regto**
Rudo.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Regto**
If you want someone to listen to you,
**[11:56] (Flashback) Regto**
try making the first concession.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Regto**
I bet Chiwa hates guys
with a hair-trigger temper.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Regto**
You've got to cool off and think
about how the other person feels.
**[12:18] Rudo**
*How the other person feels...*
**[12:20] Rudo**
*That's right.*
**[12:22] Rudo**
*He thinks I took something he cares about.*
**[12:25] Rudo**
*He's mad about that.*
**[12:27] Rudo**
* If someone took my gloves,*
* I'd feel the same way.*
**[12:34] Rudo**
I didn't mean to take it.
**[12:36] Rudo**
I didn't realize it was your treasure.
**[12:41] Rudo**
I'm sorry.
**[12:49] Zanka**
Oh, 'zat so?
**[12:51] Zanka**
You did give it right back, I guess.
**[12:54] Zanka**
I'm sorry about that, too.
**[12:56] Zanka**
It's my treasure an' all,
so I kinda lost my temper.
**[13:01] Zanka**
Sorry to scare you.
**[13:05] Rudo**
* I think that's the first time*
* I ever defused a situation!*
**[13:09] Rudo**
*Regto was totally right!*
**[13:12] Zanka**
You're joinin' the Cleaners now, right?
**[13:14] Zanka**
Guess we got off on the wrong foot.
**[13:17] Zanka**
Let's work together now!
**[13:19] Rudo**
S-Sure...
**[13:20] Zanka**
So, what's your vital instrument?
**[13:23] Zanka**
What can you do with it?
**[13:25] Rudo**
I think it's the gloves.
**[13:28] Rudo**
I don't really know what I... do with them.
**[13:31] Zanka**
These, huh?
**[13:34] Zanka**
Heck, those gloves rule!
**[13:36] Rudo**
* He looks like a different*
* person all of a sudden.*
**[13:37] Zanka**
Where'd you get 'em?
**[13:39] Zanka**
Never seen that mark before...
**[13:41] Rudo**
*Is it because he's smiling?*
**[13:43] Rudo**
*Smiling...*
**[13:44] Rudo**
*Smiling!*
**[13:46] Rudo**
* That's right!*
* Regto told me to fix my sour look...*
**[13:50] Zanka**
By the way, my vital instrument's
just a staff, see?
**[13:50] Rudo**
* So a smile really makes*
* that big a difference...*
**[13:55] Rudo**
*But can I smile?*
**[13:55] Zanka**
I mean, the scuzzballs out there
tease me over havin' "just a staff,"
**[13:56] Rudo**
*I practiced it so much up there...*
**[13:59] Zanka**
but it's still my precious treasure...
**[13:59] Rudo**
*I should be able to do it by now!*
**[14:01] Rudo**
*I'm gonna do it...*
**[14:03] Rudo**
*I'll do it, you son of a bitch!*
**[14:06] Zanka**
By the way, what made you
wanna join the Cleaners?
**[14:11] Rudo**
I wouldn't say I joined.
**[14:14] Rudo**
I'm just lending a hand
until I get what I'm after!
**[14:22] Zanka**
The hell's that expression?!
**[14:24] Zanka**
You makin' fun of me, you scuzzball?!
**[14:27] Rudo**
I-I don't get it! Why are you mad again?
**[14:30] Rudo**
That was the best smile I've ever managed!
**[14:33] Zanka**
In what world was *that* a smile?
**[14:35] Zanka**
That was the creepiest damn thing I ever seen!
**[14:38] Rudo**
*Damn it. What'd I do wrong now?*
**[14:41] Rudo**
* Eyes open too wide?*
* Should I have kept my lips closed?!*
**[14:46] Rudo**
*In that case...*
**[14:52] Zanka**
Are you nuts or somethin'?!
**[14:55] Zanka**
I let you off the hook,
and you're throwin' it in my face?!
**[14:58] Zanka**
Who the hell d'you think you are, scuzzball?!
**[15:00] Rudo**
Oh, shove it! That's my line!
**[15:03] Rudo**
What's wrong with smiling
during a basic conversation?!
**[15:06] Zanka**
You think you're hot stuff
'cause Enjin called you a natural!
**[15:09] Zanka**
We put our asses on the line against
trash beasts and other dangers every damn day!
**[15:14] Zanka**
And you're "just lending a hand
until you get what you're after"?!
**[15:18] Zanka**
If you can't even look serious when you talk
about it, it must be one shitty-ass end goal!
**[15:24] Regto**
*Change this shit heap of a world!*
**[15:33] Rudo**
What'd you just say?
**[15:37] Rudo**
"Shitty-ass end goal"?
**[15:40] Rudo**
I'm serious about this.
I'm giving it all I've got.
**[15:44] Rudo**
So you'd better not talk trash
about it, asshole!
**[15:49] Zanka**
Yeah, I figured.
**[15:52] Zanka**
The second I met you,
I knew we wouldn't get along!
**[16:03] Rudo**
Same here.
**[16:08] Zanka**
I thought your vital instrument
was the gloves.
**[16:11] Zanka**
Wait, are you...
**[16:14] Zanka**
Your ability...
**[16:16] Zanka**
You can turn any object you touch
into a vital instrument?!
**[16:27] Zanka**
You can turn any object you touch
into a vital instrument...
**[16:34] Zanka**
Well, that explains it.
No wonder he called you a natural.
**[16:40] Zanka**
But if natural talent's all you got...
**[16:43] Zanka**
You'll never beat a mediocrity like me.
**[16:51] Rudo**
From above? When did it—
**[17:00] Zanka**
Gotta be faster than that, Mr. Natural!
**[17:03] Zanka**
Your vital instrument's
the only thing special about you.
**[17:05] Zanka**
Mine's just a stick, see?
**[17:17] Zanka**
That was a sad excuse for offense.
**[17:20] Zanka**
Looks like power's all you got, scuzzball.
**[17:25] Zanka**
What the heck?
**[17:32] Zanka**
H-Hey, are you...
**[17:37] Zanka**
Usin' a plunger?!
**[17:40] Rudo**
A what?
**[17:41] Zanka**
You know! A plunger!
**[17:43] Zanka**
The thing you use when poo—
**[17:46] Rudo**
I got no idea what you're talking about,
**[17:49] Rudo**
but it's my turn for payback!
**[17:57] Zanka**
Close call!
**[18:02] Rudo**
* What's with that guy?*
* What got him all freaked out?*
**[18:05] Rudo**
* I dunno what this thing is,*
* but it's working great!*
**[18:08] Zanka**
Wait! Wait! Timeout, okay?!
**[18:12] Zanka**
Stop swinging that thing around!
**[18:31] Zanka**
I said, stay back!
**[18:36] Zanka**
Knock it off already!
**[19:40] Enjin**
Hey, you two buddied up already?
**[19:56] Enjin**
Are you serious?!
**[19:58] Enjin**
You sealed the deal with a poop barrage?!
**[20:02] Enjin**
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard!
**[20:15] Zanka**
*I've never been humiliated by poop before.*
**[20:19] Rudo**
*I was fighting with poop the whole time?*
**[20:23] Rudo**
*And so confidently...*
**[20:26] Enjin**
Zanka's as close as the Ground gets
to a spoiled rich kid.
**[20:30] Enjin**
And you literally flung poop at him!
**[20:34] Zanka**
Please stop.
**[20:37] Zanka**
Please stop laughing.
**[20:42] Enjin**
Hey, maybe it wasn't
the most dignified first meeting,
**[20:46] Enjin**
but this guy's gonna be your trainer.
**[20:49] Enjin**
Zanka's the most skilled Giver we have
at controlling vital instruments.
**[20:55] Enjin**
He'll teach you a ton.
**[20:57] Zanka**
*Enjin thinks I'm good?*
**[21:00] Zanka**
*He does?* The *Enjin thinks I'm...*
**[21:07] Enjin**
So when'd you get here, Riyo?
**[21:16] Riyo**
I just got curious.
**[21:19] Riyo**
You're Rudo, huh?
**[21:21] Rudo**
Y-Yeah.
**[21:23] Rudo**
*She's a Cleaner, too?*
**[21:27] Riyo**
Your hair's something else.
**[21:29] Riyo**
You dye it?
**[21:31] Riyo**
Nah, feels natural.
**[21:36] Rudo**
*A-A woman is... playing with my hair?!*
**[21:42] Rudo**
*Is this life on the Ground?!*
**[21:45] Enjin**
Anyway, better get rolling.
**[21:52] Enjin**
Next stop, home—
**[21:55] Enjin**
Cleaner HQ.

**[00:41] Enjin**
Welcome to the Cleaners.
**[01:03] Riyo**
See ya later, Rudo.
**[01:07] Rudo**
*So she can mess with me some more?*
**[01:09] Enjin**
Rudo.
**[01:11] Enjin**
This is our receptionist, Semiu.
**[01:13] Enjin**
We have her take a look at anyone who joins.
**[01:18] Enjin**
Semiu's ability is—
**[01:27] Semiu**
It's a pleasure to meet you,
promising newcomer.
**[01:32] Semiu**
Enjin told me about you.
**[01:35] Semiu**
Including where you came from.
**[01:36] Semiu**
But I'd like to have a look for myself...
**[01:39] Semiu**
at your potential.
**[01:41] Rudo**
*Potential?*
**[01:43] Enjin**
Those glasses are Semiu's vital instrument.
**[01:46] Enjin**
They boost her kinetic vision.
**[01:48] Enjin**
If she focuses, she can see
what a person's really made of.
**[01:52] Rudo**
*You can use vital instruments like that, too?*
**[02:05] Enjin**
What's up? See something?
**[02:09] Semiu**
Ah, of course.
**[02:11] Semiu**
He's quite athletic already,
so he won't need that kind of training.
**[02:16] Semiu**
He has a good relationship
with his vital instrument as well.
**[02:19] Semiu**
His use of it is still unstable, though.
**[02:22] Semiu**
He'll need practice to be able to
draw on his power on command.
**[02:26] Enjin**
Is that all?
**[02:28] Semiu**
Not all.
**[02:32] Semiu**
You've got scat on your neck.
**[02:37] Enjin**
For real?! No wonder that fly
wouldn't leave him alone!
**[02:40] Enjin**
No more playing in poop, okay?
**[02:43] Rudo**
I wasn't playing in it!
**[02:45] Enjin**
Thanks a bunch, Semiu.
**[02:47] Enjin**
I'm gonna take him to meet the boss.
**[02:49] Semiu**
Sure.
**[04:31] Enjin**
There's about a hundred
of us Cleaners in total,
**[04:34] Enjin**
counting combatants,
sentinels, and supporters.
**[04:37] Enjin**
Our jobs take us all over the place, though,
**[04:40] Enjin**
so it's rare to have everyone here at once.
**[04:43] Enjin**
Wanna meet a few folks?
**[04:46] Rudo**
Meet them?
**[04:47] Enjin**
There shouldn't be too many here today,
**[04:50] Enjin**
so it won't take too lo—
**[05:03] Enjin**
There's a ton of them here.
**[05:05] Enjin**
Let's do that later!
***SIGN*** Episode 4
***SIGN*** "Cleaner HQ"
**[05:15] Enjin**
This is the boss's room.
**[05:17] Rudo**
I'm gonna ask how to get up—
**[05:18] Enjin**
Hold on a minute!
**[05:20] Enjin**
I bet you're thinking of opening with,
"Tell me how to get to the Sphere!"
**[05:26] Enjin**
Info's a valuable commodity everywhere.
**[05:28] Enjin**
Like I told you earlier, it doesn't come free.
**[05:32] Enjin**
You need to be the one saying
you'll work here in exchange.
**[05:37] Enjin**
Also, I volunteered info about my vital
instrument earlier because I had to,
**[05:41] Enjin**
but I'd recommend against
asking about the boss's.
**[05:45] Enjin**
None of us know what it is either,
or what power it has.
**[05:50] Enjin**
But all of us Cleaners follow the boss.
**[05:55] Enjin**
That's a loyalty you earn not just from skill,
but the ability to command trust as well.
**[06:19] Enjin**
Huh?
**[06:20] Semiu**
Oh, I forgot to mention.
**[06:23] Semiu**
The boss is off on business
and won't be back for a while.
**[06:27] Rudo**
Wait, what?
**[06:29] Rudo**
Huh?!
**[06:29] Enjin**
Well, that explains that.
**[06:31] Enjin**
Fine. This again, huh?
**[06:34] Enjin**
Sorry, Rudo! Guess the boss isn't here!
**[06:37] Rudo**
I heard! What now?!
**[06:39] Enjin**
Any ETA on a return time?
**[06:43] Enjin**
You'd think a leader would
show a little more discipline.
**[06:48] Enjin**
Could be a long wait, I guess.
**[06:51] Riyo**
In that case,
**[06:53] Riyo**
why not come watch me work?
**[06:56] Riyo**
You can't officially join the Cleaners
until the boss is back anyway,
**[07:00] Riyo**
so why not tag along as a trainee?
**[07:04] Riyo**
Besides...
**[07:06] Riyo**
I wanna know more about you.
**[07:09] Riyo**
Okay?
**[07:12] Semiu**
I'll explain the client's request.
**[07:16] Semiu**
A town near the polluted zone is reporting
small trash beasts approaching their barricade.
**[07:21] Semiu**
They want a cleaning just to be safe.
**[07:24] Semiu**
That's about it.
**[07:25] Rudo**
Polluted zone?
**[07:27] Semiu**
Enjin. You didn't tell him about that?
**[07:30] Enjin**
I just called it "the dump area"
to make it easier for him.
**[07:35] Semiu**
Rudo, I'll explain
what this half-wit failed to.
**[07:39] Enjin**
Half-wit?
**[07:40] Semiu**
The Ground is divided into "safe zones"
that support human life,
**[07:44] Semiu**
and garbage-tainted "polluted zones"
where trash beasts live.
**[07:50] Semiu**
The location you came down in was
an especially dangerous polluted zone—
**[07:55] Semiu**
a No Man's Land.
**[07:59] Semiu**
There are six confirmed
No Man's Lands at present.
**[08:02] Semiu**
Most people would die
almost immediately in one.
**[08:06] Semiu**
They're swarming with trash beasts
that even Givers struggle with.
**[08:10] Semiu**
It was a miracle that Enjin came across you.
**[08:14] Semiu**
What were you even doing
in that No Man's Land, anyway?
**[08:17] Enjin**
What's wrong with a man stretching his legs?
**[08:20] Semiu**
Your legs?
**[08:22] Semiu**
Well, anyway, make sure you wear a gas mask
as much as possible in polluted zones.
**[08:29] Semiu**
Breathing in anything toxic
could make you dangerously ill.
**[08:34] Semiu**
In a No Man's Land, you could die
without a mask in about fifteen minutes.
**[08:46] Riyo**
This should be an easy job,
but I want you watching closely.
**[08:52] Riyo**
Okay?
**[08:58] Rudo**
*Still... it really is a garbage heap, huh?*
**[09:03] Rudo**
* How many minutes was I in there,*
* breathing the air?*
**[09:11] Rudo**
* Thinking back, this is how I pictured*
* the Pit when I was up in the Sphere...*
**[09:16] Rudo**
* I never even thought there*
* might be people living here.*
**[09:21] Rudo**
*Do the people up there not know about this?*
**[09:25] Rudo**
* Or do they know, and send people*
* and trash down here anyway?*
**[09:31] Rudo**
*Still...*
**[09:32] Rudo**
* When I really stop and look around,*
* this polluted zone looks...*
**[09:36] Rudo**
*Like a total treasure trove!*
**[09:38] Rudo**
*I wanna take it all back to fix up!*
**[09:45] Rudo**
By the way, I've been wondering.
**[09:47] Rudo**
Who're they?
**[09:48] Riyo**
They're Cleaners, too.
**[09:50] Riyo**
"Supporters."
**[09:52] Riyo**
They don't have powers,
**[09:54] Riyo**
but they're an important part of the team,
helping us do what we do.
**[10:01] Gris**
Nice to meet you.
**[10:03] Rudo**
S-Sure.
**[10:05] Rudo**
Nice t—
**[10:12] Riyo**
This guy's so awesome!
**[10:13] Riyo**
His grip strength is godly!
**[10:16] Riyo**
He can smash through
a trash beast's outer shell!
**[10:18] Riyo**
Isn't it great? Coolest guy ever!
**[10:21] Rudo**
*Not sure if I can keep up with this energy...*
**[10:21] Riyo**
Sure is nice to have a strong man around!
**[10:25] Rudo**
* But even if it's an "easy" job,*
* I need to make sure I watch and learn.*
**[10:25] Riyo**
Gris here's always saving our hides!
**[10:27] Gris**
I've got you. I train hard for this.
**[10:30] Toumu**
Riyo, trash beast sighted.
**[10:47] Rudo**
How come there's so many?!
**[10:49] Rudo**
Hey, you didn't say we'd
be fighting a whole herd!
**[10:52] Rudo**
You said it'd be "easy"!
**[10:54] Riyo**
No problem.
**[10:56] Riyo**
These types are slow and not strong at all.
**[11:07] Riyo**
See? Can't even dent the barricade.
**[11:11] Riyo**
Perfect for you to watch and learn.
**[11:14] Riyo**
You're such a lucky guy, Rudo.
**[11:16] Rudo**
Wow...
**[11:18] Rudo**
* True, they seem a lot milder*
* than those first trash beasts I saw.*
**[11:22] Rudo**
*So some are stronger than others?*
**[11:24] Rudo**
*They look a lot like animals, too.*
**[11:37] Rudo**
They're not mild at all!
**[11:40] Rudo**
Hey! Hey!
**[11:41] Rudo**
Those ones seem way more dangerous!
**[11:43] Riyo**
C'mon, it's just fine.
**[11:45] Rudo**
It's not fine at all!
**[11:47] Rudo**
They're not weak like those others!
**[11:49] Rudo**
We should call for reinforcements!
**[11:50] Riyo**
They're just a slightly tougher version
of those small ones.
**[11:55] Riyo**
They're a bit stronger, but still
perfect training for a newbie.
**[12:00] Riyo**
Now that we're seeing the big ones,
I doubt the herd gets any larger.
**[12:05] Rudo**
It's plenty large as it is!
**[12:08] Riyo**
But if we round them up quick,
we get to go home early.
**[12:12] Riyo**
I know. Let's get back and
throw you a welcome party!
**[12:16] Riyo**
What's your favorite food?
**[12:18] Rudo**
I'm not officially in the Cleaners yet...
**[12:21] Riyo**
A "Welcome to the Ground" party, then?
**[12:24] Rudo**
H-How are you so laid-back?
**[12:27] Rudo**
Aren't you risking your life here?
**[12:29] Riyo**
Rudo.
**[12:31] Riyo**
To be part of the Cleaners...
**[12:32] Riyo**
Rather, to survive on the Ground,
**[12:35] Riyo**
it's important to keep your cool!
**[12:39] Rudo**
Th-That's true!
Enjin always kept his cool too.
**[12:43] Rudo**
Is that what I've been missing?
**[12:46] Rudo**
Which means I need to keep cool too!
**[13:02] Rudo**
No worries. No worries.
**[13:04] Rudo**
Keep cool. Just keep cool.
**[13:07] Rudo**
Right?
**[13:08] Riyo**
This one's nuts!
**[13:10] Riyo**
I've never seen a trash beast so stylish...
**[13:13] Riyo**
Not great teaching material...
**[13:17] Riyo**
But...
**[13:19] Riyo**
A tough opponent sure
does get my blood racing!
**[13:25] Rudo**
No worries.
**[13:28] Rudo**
Keep... cool.
***SIGN*** Gachiakuta
**[13:39] Rudo**
*Scissors?*
**[13:42] Riyo**
Before I tidy up the big one,
**[13:44] Riyo**
I'd better do a little light dusting.
**[14:01] Riyo**
Cleaning time!
**[14:08] Rudo**
What just happened? What did she do?!
**[14:11] Rudo**
She swung the scissors with her foot?
**[14:13] Gris**
Those scissors are Riyo's vital instrument—
**[14:16] Gris**
the Ripper!
**[14:17] Gris**
Most people use scissors with their hands,
**[14:20] Gris**
but Riyo mainly wields them with her feet.
**[14:23] Gris**
Ill-mannered though it is.
**[14:26] Rudo**
*So everyone uses objects their own way?*
**[14:30] Gris**
By the way, Rudo.
**[14:32] Gris**
Don't drop your guard
just because you're observing.
**[14:53] Gris**
Riyo!
**[14:56] Riyo**
Gotcha.
**[15:03] Riyo**
Send a few more of them my way, 'kay?
**[15:05] Gris/Follo**
Yes, ma'am!
**[15:14] Rudo**
* Without powers, they can't*
* defeat the trash beasts,*
**[15:17] Rudo**
* but they can disable them*
* and let the Giver strike the final blow.*
**[15:24] Rudo**
*So this is how the Cleaners fight.*
**[15:26] Rudo**
* I'm just lending a hand*
* until I get what I'm after!*
**[15:40] Riyo**
Let's see...
**[15:42] Riyo**
Looks pretty spic and span to me!
**[15:44] Riyo**
That just leaves...
**[15:49] Riyo**
This big mess!
**[15:53] Gris**
Riyo's moved on to the big one?
**[15:55] Gris**
We'll do what we can
to take apart the small ones
**[15:58] Gris**
and keep them out of the fight.
**[16:00] Follo**
Yes, sir!
**[16:17] Gris**
Hey! Get out of there!
**[16:19] Follo**
Y-You kidding me?!
**[16:25] Follo**
Rudo?
**[16:25] Rudo**
If I want to get that info,
I need to join the Cleaners!
**[16:32] Rudo**
I won't just be a burden to everyone!
**[16:36] Rudo**
I'll be able to do this too!
**[16:39] Rudo**
I'll prove it...
**[16:52] Rudo**
What's with this shape?
**[16:56] Rudo**
*Hang on a minute.*
**[16:58] Rudo**
*This... My power...*
**[17:02] Rudo**
*How do I use it again?*
**[17:24] Riyo**
Instinctively rushing to help someone.
**[17:27] Riyo**
Nice work, Rudo.
**[17:33] Gris**
Riyo! Rudo!
**[17:35] Gris**
Sorry. We got careless.
**[17:38] Gris**
Thank you both.
**[17:40] Gris**
So, did you clean up the big one?
**[17:43] Riyo**
Cut it in two.
**[17:46] Riyo**
But that didn't do the trick.
**[17:49] Riyo**
I've cut it a few times with my instrument,
but it just won't go down.
**[17:56] Gris**
A trash beast impervious to vital instruments?
**[18:00] Riyo**
Pretty weird, right?
**[18:02] Riyo**
A trash beast's weak point is usually
where it is on a living being,
**[18:06] Riyo**
so if you cut it in two with an instrument,
it should be dead meat...
**[18:11] Riyo**
Ah, well.
**[18:13] Riyo**
It's still a trash beast, so I can probably
just dice it up until it can't move.
**[18:18] Riyo**
Let's do it that way!
**[18:19] Gris**
As it's a new type, we'll log and report it.
**[18:23] Gris**
We'll warn the surrounding towns as well.
**[18:27] Riyo**
Have a good time!
**[18:29] Rudo**
What do I...
**[18:40] Riyo**
All right...
**[18:42] Riyo**
Let's thin out that mop top of yours first!
**[18:48] Riyo**
Do you know what style you'd like, sir?
**[18:54] Riyo**
What? The full crew cut?!
**[18:58] Riyo**
I don't have my clippers,
so it might take a while!
**[19:10] Riyo**
And there you are!
**[19:13] Riyo**
Huh? You've got something shining here, sir...
**[19:16] Riyo**
Got something to hide?
**[19:46] Gris**
It's gonna hit us too!
**[19:59] Rudo**
* I said I was gonna kick the ass*
* of the guy who killed Regto,*
**[20:02] Rudo**
*and all those assholes up in the Sphere...*
**[20:07] Rudo**
*But I can't use my power.*
**[20:09] Rudo**
*I keep being a burden.*
**[20:11] Rudo**
*What am I doing here?*
**[20:30] Gris**
Get a grip already!
**[20:31] Gris**
I don't know what made you freeze up like that,
**[20:34] Gris**
but if you've got a goal, run toward it
while you have a chance to accomplish it!
**[20:38] Gris**
Learn from us!
**[20:49] Redo**
Yeah, keep screaming!
**[20:51] Redo**
The screaming means...
**[20:54] Redo**
I've found your weak point!
**[21:08] Gris**
Did she... beat it?
**[21:15] Gris**
Riyo! You okay?
**[21:17] Gris**
How did you beat it?
**[21:20] Riyo**
It died when I stabbed through this.
**[21:23] Riyo**
I think this is what was powering it.
**[21:26] Riyo**
But...
**[21:30] Gris**
A vital... instrument?
**[21:33] Gris**
What does it mean?
**[21:35] Gris**
A vital instrument... in a trash beast?
**[21:37] Gris**
What's going on here?
**[21:48] Dress Shirt**
Huh?
**[21:49] Dress Shirt**
What the heck am I...
**[21:51] Dress Shirt**
I think...
**[21:53] Dress Shirt**
That Sphereite kid kicked my ass, and then...
**[21:59] Dress Shirt**
Who're you?
**[22:06] Jabber**
A Sphereite, you say? Where is he now?

**[00:17] Zanka**
What the...
**[00:38] Zanka**
Seems kinda early for...
what exactly is this?
**[00:41] Riyo**
Early? It's nighttime, man.
**[00:44] Riyo**
It's a "Welcome to the Ground" party for Rudo.
**[00:47] Zanka**
Oh, that guy.
**[00:50] Zanka**
They're all just here to drink, I'll bet.
**[00:55] Riyo**
That's fine. It's a good chance for them
to let their hair down too.
**[01:06] Zanka**
The man of the hour
don't seem too happy about it.
**[01:08] Riyo**
Yeah.
**[01:10] Riyo**
His vital instrument crapped out
at a job yesterday.
**[01:13] Riyo**
He's been like that ever since.
**[01:16] Zanka**
Sad.
**[01:18] Zanka**
Speaking of the job yesterday,
**[01:21] Zanka**
I hear you met a weird trash beast.
**[01:24] Riyo**
Yeah, unlike the usual,
**[01:27] Riyo**
its core wasn't Anima, but an object.
**[01:31] Riyo**
An object with power...
That's a vital instrument, right?
**[01:35] Riyo**
And a trash beast was produced
that was powered by it...
**[01:38] Riyo**
That really gave us all a jolt.
**[01:41] Riyo**
I just don't know what to do about it.
**[01:47] Riyo**
So I decided to leave that
to a higher pay grade,
**[01:49] Riyo**
while we came back and got some food!
**[01:53] Zanka**
You never change, do you?
**[01:57] Riyo**
Enjin and Semiu said they'd
come by after they talked, too.
**[02:01] Zanka**
Enjin's comin'?!
**[02:09] Gris**
There you are.
**[02:13] Gris**
We haven't been properly introduced.
**[02:16] Gris**
I'm Gris Rubion.
**[02:19] Rudo**
Rudo.
**[02:20] Gris**
I know. You did well yesterday.
**[02:24] Rudo**
I did jack shit.
**[02:27] Gris**
You protected Follo from that trash beast.
**[02:30] Rudo**
Follo?
**[02:32] Gris**
The young supporter.
The one with the goggles.
**[02:36] Rudo**
Right.
**[02:44] Rudo**
But then I couldn't use my power right,
and I needed you and Riyo to save me.
**[02:50] Rudo**
It was the same up there, too.
**[02:54] Rudo**
I was always losing my head and lashing out.
**[02:57] Rudo**
Then Regto had to cover my ass.
**[03:04] Rudo**
I... I have to get back up there ASAP,
**[03:08] Rudo**
but I'm no different than I was then,
and I'm still getting bailed out.
**[03:11] Rudo**
I can't be what anyone wants from me.
**[03:14] Rudo**
Why am I like this?
**[03:17] Gris**
Thanks a lot.
**[03:20] Gris**
Most people, when they
see supporters like us,
**[03:22] Gris**
call us "powerless weaklings" and
"a millstone around the Cleaners' necks."
**[03:30] Gris**
Even now, there are members of the Cleaners
who thought that way about us at first.
**[03:35] Gris**
But you weren't like that.
**[03:39] Gris**
That kid...
**[03:41] Gris**
Follo joined the Cleaners
to clear out trash beasts.
**[03:45] Gris**
But without powers,
you can't kill a trash beast.
**[03:48] Gris**
So he's working on a treasured object of
his own, in hopes of becoming a Giver.
**[03:54] Gris**
But since he became a supporter, he's said,
**[03:57] Gris**
"I'll remain a supporter
even if I become a Giver."
**[04:01] Gris**
"I'll show those people who look down on us."
**[04:04] Gris**
Now he's working hard to make that happen.
**[04:09] Gris**
Rudo.
**[04:10] Gris**
Set aside ideas about getting stronger
and being what others want.
**[04:14] Gris**
What is it you've always wanted to do?
**[04:18] Rudo**
What I've always wanted to do?
**[04:21] Gris**
Before you came to the Ground,
before whatever it was that happened up there.
**[04:26] Gris**
Was there something you just wanted to do?
**[04:30] Gris**
Try to think back on that
and return to first principles.
**[04:34] Gris**
If you do that, your path to what
you want should become clear.
**[04:40] Gris**
Believe in yourself.
**[04:41] Gris**
You might be down here with us now,
**[04:43] Gris**
but you're still alive.
**[04:55] Enjin**
Man, I'm pooped!
**[04:59] Rudo**
Enjin?!
**[05:00] Enjin**
Hey, what's with you?
**[05:02] Enjin**
Haven't you eaten anything?
**[05:04] Riyo**
He's right, Rudo!
**[05:06] Riyo**
You're the star here, but they'll still eat
all your food if you don't get to it soon.
**[05:11] Zanka**
You've eaten the most out of anyone here.
**[05:16] Gris**
Let's go over there and have our fill, Rudo.
**[05:57] Enjin**
Watch this one, Rudo.
**[05:59] Enjin**
That's Gob.
**[06:01] Enjin**
That's a guy who never deviates
from what he wants to do.
**[06:12] Cleaners**
Hey, man, we're eating here!
**[06:14] Cleaners**
It freakin' stinks!
**[06:16] Cleaners**
At least open a window!
**[06:22] Enjin**
You've been by a lot lately.
**[06:24] Gob**
Yeah...
**[06:26] Gob**
There's plenty more script I wanna tag.
**[06:33] Enjin**
Don't care what you draw,
**[06:35] Enjin**
so long as it's not more poop.
**[06:39] Gob**
Can't promise you that one.
**[07:06] Dress Shirt**
Y-You've done enough...
**[07:08] Dress Shirt**
I-I told you, right?
**[07:10] Dress Shirt**
I told you everything, so just let me go!
**[07:14] Dress Shirt**
Please!
**[07:17] Jabber**
Okay!
**[07:25] Jabber**
White hair that gets darker at the ends,
**[07:27] Jabber**
under-eye circles,
**[07:30] Jabber**
a Sphereite Giver...
**[07:33] Jabber**
Sounds like a great souvenir.
**[09:25] Semiu**
Good morning. This is the Cleaners.
**[09:27] Semiu**
Do you have a request?
***SIGN*** Episode 5
***SIGN*** "Raiders"
**[09:34] Semiu**
We have a new request.
**[09:38] Zanka**
Got a question, Big Sis.
**[09:41] Zanka**
What's the trainee doing with us?
**[09:45] Zanka**
I know I'm set to be his trainer,
**[09:48] Zanka**
but that was gonna be
after he joined up officially.
**[09:51] Zanka**
He's not a real Cleaner yet.
**[09:54] Semiu**
I called him here because
the request is relevant to him.
**[09:58] Semiu**
A merchant was attacked by a trash beast
while crossing a polluted zone.
**[10:03] Semiu**
The creature stole their "precious cargo."
**[10:05] Semiu**
The merchant wants us to clean up
the beast and retrieve the stolen cargo—
**[10:11] Semiu**
a living person who came down from the Sphere.
**[10:16] Semiu**
It's extremely unusual for two living
Sphereites to be found so close in time.
**[10:21] Semiu**
So I thought you might be interested.
**[10:25] Semiu**
It might give you a hint
as to how to get back.
**[10:32] Gris**
Rudo, I'm sure you're having
a lot of feelings about this.
**[10:35] Gris**
It's up to you if you want to go or not.
**[10:42] Rudo**
*I can't use my power well.*
**[10:45] Rudo**
* I might be a burden again,*
* needing everyone to protect me...*
**[10:49] Rudo**
* But if it'll give me a hint*
* about how to get back up...*
**[10:55] Rudo**
I'll go.
**[10:57] Gris**
Sure.
**[11:05] Semiu**
I initially planned
to send Enjin along with you,
**[11:08] Semiu**
but he had another job to take care of.
**[11:11] Semiu**
I believe he said,
"They'll be fine with Zanka along"
**[11:15] Semiu**
or something like that.
**[11:21] Zanka**
A'right, everyone! Let's get to work!
**[11:24] Zanka**
I want everyone givin' it their best!
**[11:35] Rudo**
By the way... Gris?
**[11:37] Rudo**
You don't carry a weapon?
**[11:39] Gris**
I carry a knife for self-defense,
but I mainly fight barehanded.
**[11:44] Gris**
It's what I'm used to.
**[11:45] Follo**
He does have a little talisman, though, Rudo!
**[11:50] Follo**
He prays to it every time we head out,
asking that we make it back safe.
**[11:55] Gris**
You moron! Don't tell him that!
**[11:58] Follo**
What's the big deal? Everyone knows it!
**[11:59] Rudo**
*He's a really nice guy.*
**[12:01] Gris**
It's just a cheap thing
I bought at some shop.
**[12:04] Gris**
It's not like praying hurts anyone,
so I think it's fine, right?
**[12:12] Client**
Thank you for coming.
**[12:15] Client**
I'm the merchant who hired you.
**[12:17] Client**
I'll guide you to the trash beast's lair.
**[12:21] Rudo**
You're the client?
**[12:22] Client**
Yes.
**[12:25] Rudo**
You really had a Sphereite?
**[12:28] Rudo**
Where'd you find them?
**[12:29] Rudo**
I mean... Did they say anything?
**[12:32] Rudo**
What did they look like?!
**[12:33] Client**
I was carrying my cargo along when
I happened upon them and took them in.
**[12:38] Client**
They were unconscious,
so I couldn't ask them anything.
**[12:41] Client**
I'm worried about them too.
**[12:44] Client**
That's why I want to get them
back from the trash beast.
**[12:48] Rudo**
You weren't planning on selling off
that Sphereite, were you?
**[12:52] Client**
Certainly not! I was really worried!
**[12:55] Client**
Trust me!
**[12:57] Client**
But I do happen to be
very interested in Sphereites...
**[13:12] Zanka**
*Trash beasts attack humans on sight.*
**[13:15] Zanka**
* Seems pretty unlikely*
* this Sphereite's still alive.*
**[13:18] Zanka**
* Still... a trash beast going*
* out of its way to kidnap a human?*
**[13:25] Zanka**
* There's a lot changing lately.*
* Doesn't sit right with me.*
**[13:33] Client**
Over there, everyone.
**[13:35] Rudo**
That building?
**[13:37] Client**
It ran in there.
**[13:40] Rudo**
*Another Sphereite...*
**[13:45] Zanka**
No telling where
the trash beast might be hiding.
**[13:48] Zanka**
Be ready, everyone!
**[14:01] Gris**
There. Someone's there.
**[14:04] Client**
It's the Sphereite! Quick, while you can!
**[14:08] Client**
You've got to hurry!
**[14:10] Zanka**
Stop pushing us!
**[14:12] Rudo**
What's with you?!
**[14:13] Gris**
Is the trash beast that dangerous?!
**[14:18] Rudo**
Hey, that thing...
**[14:21] Rudo**
That's not a person!
**[14:23] Client**
Hurry! Hurry, get the Sphereite!
**[14:41] Rudo**
Ow...
**[14:44] Rudo**
What the hell happened?
It's like the floor turned into mud.
**[14:48] Client**
Are you all right?!
**[14:50] Gris**
We're all fine!
**[14:52] Gris**
But what is this place?
**[14:54] Gris**
Where's the Sphereite?!
**[14:56] Client**
Oh, they're in there!
**[14:59] Client**
Right there, in fact!
**[15:02] Female Raider**
Sphereite Giver.
**[15:15] Zanka**
Ah, okay.
**[15:17] Zanka**
I get it now.
**[15:19] Zanka**
I was thinkin' something was up here.
**[15:22] Zanka**
Those purple electric lanterns...
**[15:26] Zanka**
You set us up, didn't you?
**[15:30] Zanka**
Raiders...
**[15:32] Female Raider**
That Sphereite...
**[15:35] Female Raider**
We want him.
**[15:41] Rudo**
Raiders?
**[15:43] Gris**
Bandits, more or less.
**[15:46] Gris**
They started as a simple band of thieves,
**[15:49] Gris**
but their methods have grown
more sadistic these last few years.
**[15:53] Gris**
I hear they're even taking part
in some dubious experiments.
**[15:57] Gris**
And all Raiders are Givers, too.
**[16:02] Gris**
You three, secure an exit route.
**[16:04] Gris**
Follo, you protect Rudo with me.
**[16:06] Gris**
Other Raiders could be hiding out there.
**[16:09] Gris**
Stay alert!
**[16:10] Supporters**
Yes, sir!
**[16:12] Gris**
Sorry, Zanka.
**[16:13] Gris**
Can you handle them?
**[16:14] Zanka**
Don't love the idea, but that's the job.
**[16:17] Zanka**
Get goin'.
**[16:22] Follo**
Rudo!
**[16:28] Rudo**
Even I could handle those guys!
**[16:30] Gris**
They're not like those kidnappers you met
when you first got here.
**[16:33] Gris**
For now, we just need to get away.
**[16:36] Gris**
We don't know what powers they might have.
**[16:39] Rudo**
*Not again.*
**[16:42] Zanka**
Feels like all you guys want
the same thing—that Sphereite.
**[16:46] Zanka**
I mean, I figured it was only
a matter of time 'til you sniffed him out,
**[16:51] Zanka**
but I didn't think you'd be this fast.
**[16:54] Zanka**
Bet he fetches a pretty high price.
**[16:58] Zanka**
You could sell him off
and go on easy street for life.
**[17:03] Female Raider**
We don't want to sell him.
**[17:08] Female Raider**
We want to know more about the Sphere.
**[17:11] Female Raider**
Asking a living Sphereite is
the fastest way to do that, right?
**[17:17] Female Raider**
Like... How did he make it
across the border without dying?
**[17:21] Female Raider**
For instance.
**[17:23] Zanka**
*Border?*
**[17:26] Zanka**
Well, I don't give a damn about the Sphere.
**[17:29] Zanka**
Point is, if this was all
a trap to lure Rudo out,
**[17:34] Zanka**
that means there's not even
a trash beast. Right?
**[17:37] Female Raider**
There might not be a trash beast,
**[17:40] Female Raider**
but there are plenty of my mud marionettes!
**[17:52] Zanka**
The creepy ol' lady who led us here...
**[17:56] Zanka**
The floor collapsing all of a sudden...
**[17:59] Zanka**
Would that be your power, then?
**[18:03] Zanka**
Still...
**[18:07] Zanka**
I can take care of these
squishy little things easy.
**[18:12] Female Raider**
Be careful!
**[18:17] Female Raider**
Mixed in with the dummies,
**[18:19] Female Raider**
you'll find the real thing!
**[18:26] Male Raider**
You got overconfident and forgot about me.
**[18:30] Male Raider**
Foolish.
**[18:33] Female Raider**
Well, it's no wonder.
**[18:36] Female Raider**
Trash beasts are all
you people ever deal with.
**[18:41] Female Raider**
You're not used to fighting
humanoid opponents.
**[18:45] Female Raider**
I'll treat you to a little game
**[18:47] Female Raider**
of "spot the real one" before you die!
**[19:17] Female Raider**
Oh, I forgot to mention...
**[19:26] Female Raider**
I turned some spots of the ground
into mud in advance.
**[19:31] Female Raider**
Maybe you thought you could use lots of
wide swings to clear them all out at once,
**[19:36] Female Raider**
but if you move too much,
you'll get yourself stuck.
**[19:40] Female Raider**
You're the only member of the current crop
who stands a chance against me...
**[19:44] Female Raider**
Once you're neutralized, we win.
**[19:49] Female Raider**
So go on and sink down, now.
**[19:52] Female Raider**
In the meantime, we'll get that Sphereite—
**[19:54] Zanka**
Give it a rest.
**[19:56] Zanka**
These ticky-tacky tactics of yours
are pissing me off...
**[20:00] Zanka**
But staying quiet
and watching made it clear...
**[20:03] Zanka**
The lady there uses her shovel
to control the mud,
**[20:07] Zanka**
while the man uses a vital
instrument to deal damage...
**[20:11] Zanka**
That's what I thought at first,
but I was wrong.
**[20:13] Zanka**
You just punch.
**[20:16] Zanka**
There, at your feet.
**[20:18] Zanka**
You're wearin' something like snowshoes.
**[20:21] Zanka**
And before the woman made her mud puppets,
**[20:23] Zanka**
I saw you crouching down to do somethin'.
**[20:27] Zanka**
I've heard snowshoes make it easier
to walk on unstable ground.
**[20:31] Zanka**
Guess you were picked to be her partner
'cause you can walk on the mud.
**[20:37] Zanka**
I've never seen such a perfect li'l couple!
**[20:42] Female Raider**
Are you mocking us?
**[20:44] Female Raider**
This doesn't change anything.
**[20:45] Female Raider**
In fact, it's about to get worse for you!
**[20:48] Zanka**
Maybe I do have less experience
fighting people than you do.
**[20:53] Zanka**
But I know my vital instrument way better.
**[21:00] Zanka**
Weight, smell, texture—I know it all.
**[21:03] Zanka**
Every morning, I ask how it's doin',
give it the care it needs,
**[21:06] Zanka**
and every single solitary day I test it
**[21:08] Zanka**
to see what happens
if I strike something with it—
**[21:10] Zanka**
how hard and how fast
and where it goes flying!
**[21:13] Zanka**
I commit it all to memory!
**[21:16] Zanka**
So, to make a long story short...
**[21:18] Zanka**
I can do...
**[21:22] Zanka**
this kinda thing!
**[21:40] Zanka**
There you are.
**[21:59] Zanka**
Those ticky-tacky things
fall apart in one hit.
**[22:02] Jabba**
That goes for you too, then.

**[00:15] Rudo**
*I don't hear anything anymore.*
**[00:40] Gris**
We can't use our chokers down here.
**[00:42] Gris**
Get topside and call for backup.
**[00:46] Gris**
I'll check on Zanka.
**[00:53] Gris**
Thank goodness.
**[00:54] Gris**
Looks like he just finished.
**[00:56] Gris**
Zanka, were you injured?
**[00:58] Gris**
How'd you leave the Raiders?
**[01:15] Jabber**
White hair... darker at the ends.
**[01:19] Jabber**
Sour expression... circles under the eyes.
**[01:21] Gris**
Who are you?
**[01:28] Jabber**
So it's you, is it?
**[01:30] Jabber**
The Sphereite Giver...
**[01:33] Gris**
He's...
**[01:34] Gris**
a Raider?!
**[01:42] Gris**
He blocked the exit!
**[01:48] Follo**
Damn it.
**[01:50] Follo**
There are more of those thieves here...
**[01:53] Gris**
He's a member of the Cleaners.
**[01:56] Gris**
Going after him will make you
an enemy of all of us!
**[01:59] Jabber**
I was late, okay?
**[02:02] Jabber**
I got a bad sense of defec—uh, direction.
**[02:06] Jabber**
I got all turned around, and by the time
I got here the other guys were down.
**[02:11] Jabber**
Sorry. Didn't mean to give you so much time.
**[02:20] Gris**
Hey. Where's Zanka?
**[02:22] Gris**
There was another Cleaner
the way you came from.
**[02:25] Gris**
What's he—
**[02:25] Jabber**
There's someone who really
wants to talk to you.
**[02:31] Jabber**
How's about you come with me,
my little Sphereite friend?
**[02:38] Jabber**
You don't need that. No trash beasts here.
**[02:43] Rudo**
What did you do to the Cleaner with the staff?!
**[02:46] Jabber**
Oh, the guy with the bad attitude?
**[02:50] Jabber**
No worries.
**[02:52] Jabber**
I try to go gentle when an opponent is strong.
**[02:56] Jabber**
I just knocked him out. He's not dead.
**[03:00] Jabber**
Although...
**[03:03] Jabber**
I don't think he's *enjoying*
my venom, exactly...
**[03:11] Jabber**
Just come along quietly.
It won't hurt a bit.
**[03:17] Jabber**
What's the call?
**[03:34] Jabber**
You've got potential.
**[03:38] Jabber**
You, I don't need.
**[03:44] Gris**
I'll protect my team at all costs!
**[03:47] Gris**
No matter who I have to fight,
I'll protect their...
**[03:50] Gris**
their worth!
**[03:53] Jabber**
Oh, yeah.
**[03:56] Jabber**
I heard the Cleaners kept weaklings
called "supporters" in their ranks.
**[04:02] Jabber**
What can a weakling protect?
**[04:08] Rudo**
Hey... Gris...
**[04:11] Rudo**
You can't fight him unarmed.
**[04:14] Rudo**
Just fall back, okay?
**[04:15] Rudo**
You don't need to protect me!
**[04:19] Rudo**
I can handle him myself.
**[04:21] Rudo**
Come on, out of the way!
**[04:24] Jabber**
Hey, Sphereite, man...
**[04:27] Jabber**
Promise that you won't get upset, but...
**[04:31] Jabber**
I think he's already dead.
**[04:39] Jabber**
But hey, don't worry.
**[04:43] Jabber**
Weaklings are completely worthless!
***SIGN*** Episode 6
***SIGN*** "One Good Strike!!"
**[07:14] (Flashback) Regto**
Rudo?
**[07:16] (Flashback) Regto**
Hey.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Regto**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[07:19] (Flashback) Regto**
Stop it, Rudo!
**[07:25] (Flashback) Regto**
What in the world?
**[07:26] (Flashback) Regto**
Why are you bashing your head into the wall?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Rudo**
You told me... not to hurt other people.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Regto**
And you took that to mean
you should hurt yourself?
**[07:41] (Flashback) Regto**
Why in the world...
**[07:45] (Flashback) Regto**
Rudo, I thought you'd settled down a bit
since the pain in your hands dulled some.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Regto**
You're avoiding people, too.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Regto**
So what else is there?
What led you to do this?
**[08:03] (Flashback) Rudo**
Nothing.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Rudo**
There's nothing else there.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Rudo**
Nothing at all... but...
**[08:14] (Flashback) Rudo**
The only thing I've had... all the time...
**[08:21] (Flashback) Rudo**
is this angry feeling.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Rudo**
If you ask me what I'm angry about, though,
**[08:29] (Flashback) Rudo**
I can't explain.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Regto**
I see.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Regto**
You think your parents threw you out,
**[08:40] (Flashback) Regto**
and it's convinced you that you're worthless.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Regto**
Must be such a miserable feeling
that it turns into anger.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Regto**
And you don't know how
to work through that yet.
**[08:56] Rudo**
*What does it mean to be... worthless?*
**[09:01] (Flashback) Regto**
Okay, once I've got you
patched up, let's head outside.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Regto**
One of the reasons you feel empty
is probably because
**[09:09] (Flashback) Regto**
you haven't found things
you like and want to do.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Regto**
Today, let's look around,
experience all kinds of things,
**[09:17] (Flashback) Regto**
and little by little,
find the things that you like.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Regto**
As we do that, little by little,
this empty room of yours
**[09:25] (Flashback) Regto**
will come to be full of things you like!
**[09:29] (Flashback) Regto**
Just warn me when it's time
to bring in a *girl* you like, okay?
**[09:33] (Flashback) Regto**
That's a promise.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Regto**
Well, you showed a little interest
in a few things, at least...
**[10:15] (Flashback) Regto**
but nothing hit the bull's-eye, huh?
**[10:18] (Flashback) Regto**
Well, it's just day one.
There's plenty more to try.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Rudo**
Regto. What's that?
**[10:30] (Flashback) Regto**
Oh, looks like an upstanding citizen
throwing out his trash.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Regto**
Rudo?
**[10:44] (Flashback) Regto**
Rudo! What's come over you?
**[11:13] (Flashback) Regto**
What's that making you feel?
**[11:17] (Flashback) Rudo**
It's just a little bit broken...
**[11:21] (Flashback) Rudo**
You shouldn't throw it out!
**[11:24] (Flashback) Rudo**
It's got a lot of life left!
This isn't right!
**[11:29] (Flashback) Rudo**
I want to fix it...
**[11:31] (Flashback) Rudo**
I want to fix it!
**[11:34] (Flashback) Regto**
This is more than just projection.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Regto**
I see. You can perceive the worth
in things others throw away.
**[12:01] Gris**
I see.
**[12:03] Gris**
That's why he couldn't use
his vital instrument then.
**[12:10] Gris**
We got it all wrong, didn't we?
**[12:13] Gris**
Rudo's power isn't to turn the objects
he touches into vital instruments...
**[12:31] Gris**
It's to bring out their full
and uninhibited worth!
**[12:46] Jabber**
S...
**[12:47] Jabber**
Sweet!
**[12:54] Jabber**
Is that your vital instrument?
**[12:58] Jabber**
What can it do? What powers does it have?
**[13:01] Jabber**
I couldn't even start to guess!
**[13:04] Follo**
Gris. Hang in there!
**[13:15] Rudo**
Gris. You're the reason I remembered.
**[13:19] Rudo**
My core... the thing
I've always wanted to do...
**[13:24] Rudo**
If you hadn't brought that up,
I'd probably still be lashing out blindly.
**[13:29] Rudo**
I wouldn't produce anything real.
**[13:32] Rudo**
But it's different now.
**[13:35] Rudo**
I'm gonna disprove everything you just said,
**[13:38] Rudo**
and affirm everything you just took a shit on!
**[13:43] Rudo**
And then I'm gonna kick your ass!
**[13:46] Follo**
Rudo...
**[13:48] Jabber**
Wow, you sound pissed!
**[13:50] Jabber**
I like that!
**[13:52] Jabber**
Nothing I love more than
hard fighters and strong Givers!
**[14:00] Jabber**
The name's Jabber.
**[14:02] Jabber**
Jabber Wonger.
**[14:04] Jabber**
I think I'd like to have a little fun
before I take you back.
**[14:09] Jabber**
What's your name?
**[14:11] Rudo**
It's Rudo, shithead.
**[14:15] Jabber**
Okay...
**[14:18] Jabber**
Let's tear each other to pieces...
**[14:20] Jabber**
Rudo, my friend!
**[14:26] Follo**
The bleeding won't stop!
**[14:28] Follo**
Damn it. We need to get you help!
**[14:30] Gris**
I'll be fine.
**[14:34] Follo**
Gris!
**[14:36] Gris**
*Rudo.*
**[14:38] Gris**
* The reason you couldn't use your instrument*
* properly at our last job was because*
**[14:43] Gris**
* you had a lot of emotions—desperation,*
* anger—clouding your main purpose.*
**[14:50] Gris**
*But I don't think we have to worry now.*
**[14:56] Jabber**
Oh?
**[14:57] Jabber**
I thought you were down for a fight,
but you're not coming at me.
**[15:02] Jabber**
You even want to do this?
**[15:04] Rudo**
If you want some, come get some. Shithead.
**[15:09] Jabber**
C'mon, I told you my name before!
**[15:12] Jabber**
Call me that!
**[15:13] Jabber**
One, two...
**[15:15] Jabber**
"Jabber, my friend"!
**[15:24] Jabber**
Aw, why'd you dodge?
**[15:27] Jabber**
That's no fun at all.
**[15:29] Jabber**
Let's have some back-and-forth!
**[15:31] Jabber**
Okay?
**[15:44] Jabber**
What's this all about?
**[15:46] Jabber**
My attacks can't hit you?
**[15:50] Rudo**
Gris said he prayed to this talisman of his
**[15:52] Rudo**
for everyone to make it back safely.
**[15:57] Rudo**
"Come back safely" means uninjured, right?
**[16:01] Rudo**
To remain uninjured, you want
the best defense possible, right?
**[16:06] Rudo**
This is how I imagine that:
**[16:08] Rudo**
"Make sure the enemy's attacks can't hit."
**[16:13] Jabber**
Oh, I get it. It's a power that
increases your ability to dodge.
**[16:18] Jabber**
Sounds handy.
**[16:20] Jabber**
But though my attacks
might not be hitting you...
**[16:25] Jabber**
Your attacks can't hit me, either.
**[16:29] Rudo**
You haven't realized?
**[16:33] Rudo**
I've been evading your attacks
all this time without moving a step.
**[16:40] Rudo**
I'm not the one who's been moving.
**[16:42] Rudo**
You are.
**[16:44] Jabber**
The hell you say...
**[16:47] Rudo**
Which means I know
where you're going to end up.
**[17:00] Rudo**
I can't use this talisman to attack,
**[17:04] Rudo**
because it's Gris's prayer embodied.
**[17:07] Rudo**
So I'll use his preferred weapon, fists,
**[17:12] Rudo**
to punch your lights out!
**[17:25] Jabber**
You made *me* move?
**[17:27] Jabber**
You summon that big, scary thing,
use its power to direct my movements,
**[17:31] Jabber**
then attack with your fists?
**[17:33] Jabber**
That's so roundabout!
**[17:36] Rudo**
You said you wanted to have some fun
before you brought me in.
**[17:42] Rudo**
I'll play your game until you're
in a heap on the floor, shithead.
**[17:46] Jabber**
Hey, can you stop ending
every line with "shithead"?
**[17:51] Jabber**
I get it.
**[17:53] Jabber**
So the game's rigged against me, huh?
**[17:56] Jabber**
And you don't feel any guilt
about a guy getting beat to hell?
**[18:00] Rudo**
Not when it's you.
**[18:02] Jabber**
So glad to hear it!
**[18:31] Jabber**
Hey, good eye there!
**[19:32] Rudo**
You...
**[19:35] Rudo**
piece of shit!
**[19:56] Rudo**
Had enough yet?
**[19:57] Rudo**
Why don't you just stay down?
**[20:04] Jabber**
Been a while since I took
a beating that *good*...
**[20:09] Jabber**
And I bet you enjoyed dishing it out, too!
**[20:15] Jabber**
It's important that we both get a taste.
**[20:20] Jabber**
But I noticed a thing...
**[20:24] Jabber**
That vital instrument of yours...
**[20:26] Jabber**
It detects hostile intent directed at you,
and moves the attack out of the way, right?
**[20:34] Jabber**
When I sent that rubble at you
as a smokescreen, I noticed...
**[20:41] Jabber**
It's not triggered by things that don't
have hostile intent—any will of their own.
**[20:48] Rudo**
So what?
**[20:50] Jabber**
My vital instrument, Mankira...
**[20:54] Jabber**
The right claws contain a powerful neurotoxin.
**[21:06] Rudo**
What's he doing?
**[21:13] Jabber**
Man, every time I do this,
it's something else!
**[21:16] Jabber**
Man, that hurts! I can't think straight!
**[21:24] Jabber**
Okay!
**[21:25] Jabber**
Okay now, Rudo...
**[21:27] Jabber**
If I lose conscious control
and just rail around mindlessly,
**[21:33] Jabber**
will your instrument
perceive any "hostile intent"?
**[21:40] Jabber**
Can't wait... to find out.

How the hell is he still so strong?!

What's a masochist?
**[02:19] (Flashback) Regto**
A what?!
**[02:26] Rudo**
If that's what he is...
I've got no idea how to beat one.
**[03:21] Rudo**
That weapon... no, that instrument...
**[03:27] Zanka**
Man, I feel sick...
**[03:30] Zanka**
Hey, Dreadlocks. Takes some nerve to
start playin' with a weakling like that
**[03:35] Zanka**
when you haven't even beaten me proper...
**[03:39] Zanka**
Tag me in, Rudo...
**[03:40] Zanka**
I got a score to settle with this bastard.
***SIGN*** Episode 7
***SIGN*** "A Score to Settle"
**[05:24] Rudo**
You...
**[05:29] Rudo**
You survived that?
**[05:31] Rudo**
You don't look your best, though.
**[05:32] Zanka**
Huh? I'm thrivin', here.
**[05:35] Zanka**
Don't underestimate mediocrity, Mr. Natural.
**[05:38] Zanka**
By the way...
**[05:40] Zanka**
Looks like you finally got
your instrument workin' right.
**[05:44] Zanka**
Big and scary one, too...
**[05:47] Zanka**
Pretty cool.
**[05:50] Rudo**
But its ability doesn't work on him
when he's in a fugue state.
**[05:56] Rudo**
Just keeping away is taking all that I have.
**[05:58] Zanka**
So the thing's triggered by hostile intent?
**[06:02] Rudo**
Yeah... Wait, how'd you know?
**[06:07] Zanka**
I watched your fight for a while
and did some analysis.
**[06:12] Zanka**
Seein' as I'm supposed to
be your teacher an' all.
**[06:19] Zanka**
I'm on my way!
**[06:21] Zanka**
You can't attack with your weapon.
**[06:24] Zanka**
And Dreadlocks there made it
so I can't move so well.
**[06:29] Zanka**
Which means...
**[06:31] Zanka**
Rudo.
**[06:33] Zanka**
Let me strike you.
**[06:38] Zanka**
It's just a li'l test run.
**[06:40] Zanka**
Lemme strike you. Just once.
**[06:43] Rudo**
The hell are you getting at?
**[06:45] Zanka**
I can't move so well on my own,
**[06:47] Zanka**
but there's a chance my
attack'll trigger your weapon
**[06:51] Zanka**
and move me where I need to be.
**[06:54] Zanka**
My Lovely Assistaff's got
better reach than your fists.
**[06:58] Zanka**
It can make contact before his claws do.
**[07:03] Rudo**
And if you're wrong, I just get hit.
**[07:07] Zanka**
Then I guess you'll have to suck it up.
**[07:11] Zanka**
Looks like he's up.
**[07:29] Zanka**
Make sure those claws don't touch you.
**[07:33] Zanka**
Just the tiniest scratch'll
leave you wrigglin' on the ground.
**[07:39] Zanka**
Those things piss me the hell off.
**[07:43] Rudo**
Suck it up.
**[07:45] Zanka**
Yeah, I think you asked for this...
**[07:50] Zanka**
Strike!
**[08:07] Zanka**
Wow, it really did work.
**[08:10] Rudo**
Hey!
**[08:12] Rudo**
Were you legit trying to hurt me there?!
**[08:15] Zanka**
Hey, told you it was just a test!
**[08:21] Zanka**
But it looks like we got
a workable team-up going here.
**[08:27] Zanka**
Time to let loose and have a good ol' time.
**[08:56] Zanka**
You can even send me further. Neat!
**[08:59] Zanka**
You could be a little more gentle, though!
**[09:02] Rudo**
Yeah, that's not in the cards!
**[09:09] Zanka**
Show a little sympathy, dumbass!
**[09:47] Zanka**
Hey, it's Mr. Bad Attitude!
**[10:10] Zanka**
Think it's over.
**[10:12] Zanka**
I'm done, too.
**[10:15] Zanka**
Everythin' hurts...
**[10:37] Rudo**
Gris's talisman...
**[10:48] Rudo**
Shit.
**[10:50] Rudo**
Why... I didn't do anything...
**[10:53] Rudo**
What do I...
**[10:57] Zanka**
It broke down?
**[11:00] Zanka**
*The weapons he makes are on borrowed time?*
**[11:04] Zanka**
*Or is there another reason...*
**[11:07] Rudo**
Gris cared so much about it... and I...
**[11:12] Rudo**
It's—m—faul—
**[11:20] Zanka**
Hey, what's with you?
**[11:31] Zanka**
Don't tell me...
**[11:37] Zanka**
You...
**[11:39] Zanka**
When'd he get you with those claws?
**[12:00] Jabber**
Too much fun!
**[12:03] Jabber**
Dunno what happened, but I guess
I did a great job while I was out.
**[12:11] Zanka**
Wait.
**[12:12] Zanka**
Hang on a minute, you...
**[12:14] Zanka**
How can you still be up and about?
**[12:17] Zanka**
I beat the shit out of you...
**[12:24] Jabber**
My left claws.
**[12:28] Zanka**
D-Don't tell me... they can heal?
**[12:31] Jabber**
Aw, man, no freaking way!
**[12:34] Jabber**
They don't cure wounds.
**[12:37] Jabber**
See?
**[12:41] Jabber**
In small doses, my left claws
can make pain go away.
**[12:48] Jabber**
Though they can do more than that...
**[12:50] Jabber**
Man, didn't think I'd get
such a good beating.
**[12:54] Jabber**
Thanks a lot to you
and our buddy Rudo back there.
**[12:59] Jabber**
The right-claw poison I hit you with...
**[13:01] Jabber**
I've built up some immunity,
so it only works ten minutes on me.
**[13:04] Jabber**
It'll probably start to wear off
for you after thirty.
**[13:08] Jabber**
So let's re-up your dosage.
**[13:16] Jabber**
Don't wanna get chewed out
for failing a mission again.
**[13:28] Jabber**
I'm here, buddy.
**[13:29] Jabber**
Let's get going.
**[13:39] Jabber**
Later, Mr. Bad Attitude!
**[14:00] Jabber**
Oh, I forgot those other two.
**[14:03] Jabber**
Eh, who cares.
**[14:04] Jabber**
You-know-who'll pick them up soon enough.
**[14:08] Rudo**
*I can't move... at all.*
**[14:13] Rudo**
*Because of me... Gris is...*
**[14:17] Rudo**
*They're all...*
**[14:19] Rudo**
*Damn it...*
**[14:22] Rudo**
*Damn it...*
**[14:24] Rudo**
*Damn it all!*
**[14:38] Jabber**
I'm outside?
**[14:40] Jabber**
I thought we were in a building!
**[14:49] Riyo**
Found you.
**[15:04] Enjin**
Boy, oh boy.
**[15:06] Enjin**
You guys've made a real mess here.
**[15:11] Enjin**
Looks like you need some cleaning.
**[15:34] Enjin**
There's a pretty deep basement
under this building.
**[15:38] Enjin**
The choker comms can't get through
if we're too far down.
**[15:42] Enjin**
Setting a trap so that
we can't easily call for aid...
**[15:47] Enjin**
Can you get any more cliche?!
**[15:53] Enjin**
If Tomme and the others hadn't found a phone
in the nearby town and called for help,
**[15:57] Enjin**
we never would've known.
**[15:59] Tomme**
Enjin.
**[16:00] Tomme**
Gris and the others might still be down there.
**[16:03] Tomme**
You don't think they're...
**[16:07] Enjin**
Don't worry.
**[16:09] Enjin**
They won't break that easy.
**[16:12] Enjin**
Take a few people. Go save them.
**[16:18] Jabber**
Hey, you guys all look *really* strong!
**[16:23] Jabber**
Here I am, all sad and broken,
while you're looking at me like I'm trash...
**[16:31] Jabber**
Careful, or you're gonna get me rock hard here!
**[16:36] Enjin**
Rudo, have you been fighting
this weirdo the whole time?
**[16:41] Enjin**
Talk about an unpleasant encounter...
**[16:45] Riyo**
Rudo, you're in better shape than I thought.
**[16:48] Riyo**
Glad to hear it.
**[16:49] Tamsy**
The hell he is.
**[16:50] Tamsy**
Poor kid's barely breathing.
**[16:53] Delmon**
Unforgivable...
**[16:55] Delmon**
He hurt a member of our team...
**[16:58] Delmon**
Unforgivable!
**[17:03] Delmon**
Unforgivable!
**[17:04] Tamsy**
Would you shut up already?
**[17:07] Enjin**
Point is, we've got a lotta questions for you.
**[17:12] Enjin**
That said...
**[17:14] Enjin**
You think you can mess with the Cleaners
**[17:15] Enjin**
and just run back to
whatever hole you came from?
**[17:18] Jabber**
Oh, baby!
**[17:21] Jabber**
This is the thing where if you get me,
I'll be locked up forever,
**[17:24] Jabber**
and then I'll have to cook up
a jailbreak or something?!
**[17:28] Jabber**
But see, the thing is...
**[17:30] Jabber**
I've got orders of my own...
**[17:33] Jabber**
Orders that say I bring Rudo back with me.
**[17:37] Jabber**
There's nothing I want more
than to run away right now...
**[17:41] Jabber**
But even if I can't win,
even if I'm on death's door...
**[17:46] Jabber**
I just can't go back
unless I fulfill my orders!
**[17:51] Jabber**
Man, this sucks!
**[17:58] Jabber**
You...
**[18:00] Cthoni**
Jabber. Time's up.
**[18:03] Cthoni**
Come back.
**[18:04] Jabber**
Get outta my face, Cthoni!
**[18:06] Jabber**
I'm not going back yet!
**[18:08] Jabber**
I gotta take Rudo back with me!
**[18:10] Cthoni**
I said time's up.
**[18:12] Cthoni**
And the goon squad's in the way.
**[18:14] Cthoni**
So come back.
**[18:15] Enjin**
*Where'd that girl come from?*
**[18:18] Jabber**
Back off before the game's over?!
**[18:21] Jabber**
Piss off!
**[18:22] Jabber**
It was just getting good!
**[18:25] Cthoni**
The boss had a very big smile.
**[18:45] Jabber**
Whoopsie-daisy.
**[18:48] Jabber**
Guess it's gotten pretty late, huh?
**[18:54] Jabber**
Sorry, friends.
**[18:56] Jabber**
I've gotta run home now.
**[19:01] Jabber**
Too bad.
**[19:07] Riyo**
A manhole in the wall?
**[19:09] Jabber**
Hey, Rudo.
**[19:10] Jabber**
You've got some pretty
good game for a Sphereite.
**[19:16] Jabber**
I know my poison's
left him off in la-la land...
**[19:20] Jabber**
So give him my regards, okay?
**[19:23] Rudo**
Wait, you asshole...
**[19:27] Rudo**
This isn't over!
**[19:33] Jabber**
You're still awake after a jab like that?!
**[19:37] Rudo**
Until I pay you back with interest
for what you did to Gris...
**[19:43] Rudo**
I won't let this end!
**[19:49] Jabber**
Man, you *are* a hard fighter!
**[19:52] Jabber**
Next time we meet...
**[19:55] Jabber**
Hey, your hand...
**[19:58] Jabber**
That pattern...
**[20:01] Jabber**
You've got something from that series too?!
**[20:07] Jabber**
That's awesome! What a cool coincidence!
**[20:11] Jabber**
The boss is gonna be so happy to hear it!
**[20:15] Jabber**
I gotta go for now,
**[20:17] Jabber**
but I'll come better prepared
the next time I come to get you!
**[20:25] Jabber**
You take care of those things.
**[20:28] Jabber**
Let's play again!
**[20:43] Riyo**
They disappeared.
**[20:50] Rudo**
"Series"?
**[21:12] Rudo**
Gris...
**[21:13] Rudo**
Gris!
**[21:27] Rudo**
Sorry, Gris. I wrecked your talisman.
**[21:33] Gris**
I cared a lot about that thing.
**[21:44] Gris**
And if... it managed to help you out...
**[21:51] Gris**
I think that's great.
**[22:03] Gris**
You did great, Rudo.

**[00:17] Enjin**
Hey, what's got you moping around out here?
**[00:23] Enjin**
Say, I hear you learned
how to use your instrument.
**[00:27] Enjin**
Nice work.
**[00:28] Enjin**
Looks like you'll—
**[00:29] Rudo**
It's Gris!
**[00:32] Rudo**
That guy got Gris.
**[00:35] Rudo**
How the hell do you expect me to act?
**[00:37] Rudo**
Up there, I couldn't save
the person who saved me.
**[00:41] Rudo**
It's the same way here.
**[00:43] Rudo**
Why?
**[00:45] Rudo**
I start to think I've changed,
that I've moved forward,
**[00:50] Rudo**
but then the same damn thing happens again!
**[00:53] Rudo**
Am I just going to be this way my whole life?
**[00:57] Rudo**
Damn it!
**[01:00] Enjin**
Gris knew what he was getting into.
**[01:03] Enjin**
He put his life on the line for his team.
**[01:07] Enjin**
He didn't protect you
because you're a Sphereite,
**[01:10] Enjin**
but because he saw you as a kindred spirit
who cares about objects and people equally.
**[01:15] Enjin**
Anyway, come on inside.
**[01:17] Enjin**
Give Gris your respects.
***SIGN*** Episode 8
***SIGN*** "Moving Forward"
**[01:30] Gris**
Congrats on awakening your power, Rudo!
**[01:33] Gris**
I'm so glad you're looking well!
**[01:43] Rudo**
Y-You're... alive?
**[01:48] Enjin**
Oh, I get it.
**[01:50] Enjin**
You were all mopey because
you thought Gris was dead!
**[01:54] Enjin**
I get it all now!
**[01:56] Gris**
Don't count me out yet, man.
**[01:58] Gris**
I'm still going strong!
**[02:00] Rudo**
Well, it's freaking confusing!
**[02:02] Rudo**
You took a claw right through the chest!
Anyone could see that's a death sentence!
**[02:07] Gris**
Oh, it's because of the Cleaners' medical team.
**[02:10] Gris**
This little lady here
was the real star of the day.
**[02:16] Gris**
Her name's Eishia Stilza, the Cleaners'
only Giver with a healing power.
**[02:21] Eishia**
I-I'm not usually useful at all.
**[02:24] Eishia**
It just happened... to be able
to be useful... this time.
**[02:30] Enjin**
Eishia's really shy.
**[02:33] Gris**
Eishia.
**[02:37] Gris**
You saved me from certain death.
**[02:41] Gris**
I can't thank you enough.
**[02:44] Gris**
You too, Follo.
**[02:46] Gris**
Don't look so down.
**[02:48] Gris**
You're the one who got me clear
of that Raider's berserker fury.
**[02:54] Follo**
But...
**[02:55] Gris**
You can't rush your way to becoming a Giver.
**[02:58] Gris**
Keep going at your own pace.
**[03:02] Follo**
Big Bro!
**[03:05] Gris**
And you, Rudo.
**[03:07] Gris**
You did extremely well.
**[03:09] Gris**
That guy was really strong, and your
teamwork with Zanka kept him in check.
**[03:13] Gris**
That's a remarkable thing.
**[03:15] Gris**
Seriously, don't worry about the talisman.
**[03:18] Gris**
I'm glad that something I took care of
could be useful to someone else.
**[03:22] Gris**
That's the "worth" I assign to things.
**[03:31] Rudo**
Yeah. I get it.
**[03:34] Rudo**
Gris.
**[03:36] Rudo**
I'm really glad you survived.
**[03:39] Enjin**
Anyway...
**[03:41] Enjin**
Looks like the Raiders are actively
picking fights with Cleaners now.
**[03:45] Enjin**
Which means trash beasts
won't be the only thing
**[03:48] Enjin**
we can expect to scrap with
in the near future.
**[03:50] Enjin**
And...
**[03:52] Enjin**
We got some new info.
**[03:55] Corvus**
That Raider mentioned a "border."
**[03:57] Corvus**
It suggests they must be
doing research into the Sphere.
**[04:03] Rudo**
Who's that?
**[04:04] Enjin**
The boss.
**[04:07] Rudo**
*The boss? Did he say "boss"?*
**[04:10] Rudo**
*No way.*
**[04:12] Rudo**
*Then this guy is the Cleaners' leader?*
**[04:17] Corvus**
A pleasure to meet you, Rudo.
**[04:20] Corvus**
I'm sorry I missed you on your first day.
**[04:23] Corvus**
I'm Corvus. Arkha Corvus.
**[04:27] Corvus**
I've found myself in the position
of the Cleaners' leader.
**[04:32] Rudo**
Y-Yes sir...
**[04:34] Corvus**
I'd heard you were only staying with us
temporarily to get information,
**[04:41] Corvus**
and was going to say
that we can't let you remain...
**[04:44] Corvus**
But you quickly found
the good in our people here,
**[04:49] Corvus**
and put your life on the line to protect them.
**[04:52] Corvus**
You also have access to a power that
could very much contribute to our cause.
**[04:59] Corvus**
I don't have a single complaint.
**[05:02] Corvus**
I hereby officially welcome you
into the Cleaners!
**[05:11] Corvus**
Come to my room.
**[05:13] Corvus**
I've got a change of clothes for you,
and some information.
**[05:19] Corvus**
The "border," as the name suggests,
lies between the Sphere and the Ground.
**[05:25] Corvus**
It's said that all who try to reach the Sphere
die while crossing the border.
**[05:34] Corvus**
Now, here's an interesting story.
**[05:37] Corvus**
It's said that there's a woman who lives
in the No Man's Land closest to the border.
**[05:44] Corvus**
Once, a traveler got lost in the No Man's Land,
and the woman helped them.
**[05:51] Corvus**
The traveler asked her,
"Why do you live in a place like this?"
**[05:58] Corvus**
The woman replied,
**[06:01] Corvus**
"I'm watching the people
who fall from above."
**[06:05] Corvus**
The woman had lived there
for many years, watching.
**[06:11] Corvus**
And then the woman said...
**[06:13] Woman**
There are those who come and go without dying.
**[06:19] Corvus**
There's a chance she's seen people
capable of crossing the border alive.
**[06:25] Rudo**
So if I track down one of
the people that woman saw,
**[06:29] Rudo**
I could learn how to get up there?
**[06:32] Corvus**
As well as how you made it
down here without dying.
**[06:37] Corvus**
Though, of course,
it will be a dangerous journey.
**[06:41] Corvus**
Will you go, or stay?
**[06:44] Corvus**
Which will it be?
**[06:46] Rudo**
There's no way I'm not going.
**[06:55] Enjin**
Hey, you got your Cleaner's uniform on!
**[07:00] Enjin**
Looks good on you, man.
***SIGN*** Six Hours Earlier
**[09:00] (Flashback) Follo**
Stop it! Just stop, dammit!
**[09:03] (Flashback) Follo**
You're not supposed to be going to see
the woman in No Man's Land *today*!
**[09:07] (Flashback) Follo**
How is he so strong?!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Rudo**
It might lead to a way
to get back up to the Sphere!
**[09:14] (Flashback) Rudo**
I've gotta talk to her!
**[09:14] (Flashback) Follo**
Yeah, but we can't do it now!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Enjin**
Chill out, brat.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Enjin**
You can't just run off into
a place like that half-cocked.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Enjin**
You're heading straight into
the center of No Man's Land.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Enjin**
You're just gonna run off without getting
any info or knowing what you can do?
**[09:36] (Flashback) Enjin**
You got a death wish or something?
**[09:39] (Flashback) Rudo**
Knowing what I can do?
**[09:41] (Flashback) Enjin**
It's nice that you can use
your powers on command now,
**[09:44] (Flashback) Enjin**
but we still don't know their limits,
their weak points, any of it.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Enjin**
And neither do you.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Rudo**
You're going to come with me, then?
**[09:54] (Flashback) Enjin**
Hell yeah, man.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Enjin**
It's suicide to go into No Man's Land solo.
**[09:59] Rudo**
*You were doing it, weren't you?*
**[10:02] (Flashback) Enjin**
Besides, the Cleaners' job is as much
about *researching* trash beasts
**[10:05] (Flashback) Enjin**
as it is about beating them.
**[10:08] (Flashback) Enjin**
We've got plenty of our own to gain
by going into No Man's Land.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Enjin**
We've got to look out for Raiders, too.
**[10:15] (Flashback) Rudo**
Raiders...
**[10:18] (Flashback) Rudo**
Speaking of, how can those
Raider guys become Givers?
**[10:22] (Flashback) Enjin**
Not all people are good at heart.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Enjin**
Not all people are capable of taking
proper care of objects, either.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Enjin**
Some people seem good
but treat objects like shit,
**[10:35] (Flashback) Enjin**
and some people seem bad
but treat certain objects well.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Enjin**
A person's morality is irrelevant
to whether they can become a Giver.
**[10:44] (Flashback) Enjin**
Of course, people who
don't think highly of Givers
**[10:48] (Flashback) Enjin**
sometimes refer to us as "codependent."
**[10:52] (Flashback) Enjin**
Makes sense in a way, right?
**[10:54] (Flashback) Enjin**
Being too obsessed with a single object
probably looks weird to your average person.
**[11:02] Rudo**
* I guess I'd gotten it in my head that*
* bad people never took care of objects.*
**[11:07] Rudo**
*I guess that was wrong of me, huh?*
**[11:10] Rudo**
*Yeah, but I still hate those guys.*
**[11:14] (Flashback) Enjin**
For today, you should probably relax.
**[11:17] (Flashback) Enjin**
It's been non-stop action
these last few days, right?
**[11:26] Rudo**
*He told me to relax... but how do I do that?*
**[11:31] Rudo**
*I don't really sleep all that long.*
**[11:35] Rudo**
*Wish I could pick through some trash...*
**[11:41] (Flashback) Riyo**
Hey, Rudo!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Riyo**
I'm gonna show you around Cleaner HQ!
**[11:53] (Flashback) Riyo**
The training room!
**[11:55] (Flashback) Riyo**
The dining hall!
**[11:58] (Flashback) Riyo**
The toilets!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Riyo**
It's kinda run-down,
but it's fully loaded, see?
**[12:04] (Flashback) Rudo**
There's a lot more to see
than there was in the Sphere.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Riyo**
What did you do up there?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Rudo**
I went with Regto to look at scenery...
picked up garbage... got yelled at...
**[12:16] (Flashback) Riyo**
They like to yell up in the Sphere too, huh?
**[12:19] (Flashback) Riyo**
Don't worry. Got plenty of that down here, too.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Riyo**
What did you eat?
**[12:24] (Flashback) Rudo**
Stuff like bread... soup...
**[12:27] (Flashback) Riyo**
Any sweets?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Rudo**
Sweets?
**[12:31] (Flashback) Riyo**
Sweets.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Rudo**
Sweets were only for people with money.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Riyo**
We've got some.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Riyo**
We've *got some*.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Riyo**
There's a group of people
on the Ground called Vianders.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Riyo**
We Cleaners sometimes buy from them.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Enjin**
Oh, he came by to eat sweets?
**[13:00] (Flashback) Riyo**
Yeah. Says he's never had any.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Enjin**
I dunno how it is up there,
**[13:05] (Flashback) Enjin**
but here, sweets are way
more popular than drugs.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Enjin**
Don't get addicted.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Rudo**
Rich people food... and so much of it...
**[13:16] (Flashback) Enjin**
Because of all the pollution,
it's hard to grow crops down here,
**[13:21] (Flashback) Enjin**
so the Vianders collect Givers
who specialize in cooking.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Enjin**
Thanks to them, we might have more
sweets down here than they do up there.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Riyo**
Go on. Try one!
**[13:51] (Flashback) Rudo**
What the hell is this?! It's great!
**[13:54] (Flashback) Riyo**
Didn't think he'd take to it *that* well.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Enjin**
We've got a budding addict.
**[14:00] Rudo**
*Never had anything so good before!*
**[14:02] Rudo**
*I can't stop!*
**[14:04] (Flashback) Enjin**
Go easy, man. You're gonna get fat.
**[14:21] Rudo**
*What's with this guy?*
**[14:24] Rudo**
*Don't tell me...*
**[14:25] Rudo**
*He's after the sweets?*
**[14:29] Rudo**
*But... I wanna eat more too...*
**[14:36] (Flashback) Rudo**
Here. You can have it.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Rudo**
What's with this spoiled brat?!
**[14:54] (Flashback) Enjin**
You're one to talk.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Bro**
Hey, Dear!
**[14:57] (Flashback) Bro**
Sorry.
***SIGN*** And now—
**[15:00] Enjin**
Riyo, you gotta make up
for what you did to Rudo.
**[15:04] Riyo**
There's no way I could've known
he'd end up like that...
**[15:07] Riyo**
Anyway, it's nice that
he found a thing he likes.
**[15:11] Enjin**
Didn't think he'd burn through
our whole stock of sweets, though...
**[15:18] Zanka**
What's that loser gotten himself into now?
**[15:27] Zanka**
Hey... Hey...
**[15:29] Zanka**
We got an invader or somethin' here!
**[15:32] Rudo**
Hey, shithead.
**[15:54] Zanka**
Can't use your instrument again?
**[15:57] Enjin**
Oh, man.
**[15:59] Enjin**
Did you get so high on sweets
you forgot how it works?
**[16:03] Rudo**
C'mon, no way...
**[16:05] Riyo**
I thought we were gauging your powers,
**[16:07] Riyo**
but I guess we're gauging
the success of your diet.
**[16:10] Riyo**
Glad you can move around again, at least!
**[16:16] Rudo**
*What's going on here?*
**[16:17] Rudo**
*I remember how it's supposed to feel, but...*
**[16:27] Zanka**
You liked to fix up things
people had thrown out, right?
**[16:32] Zanka**
If that's the basis of your powers,
maybe you need garbage...
**[16:38] Zanka**
some kind of broken object
for them to trigger.
**[16:48] Zanka**
See if anything speaks to you here.
**[17:18] Rudo**
I did it.
**[17:20] Enjin**
Looks like Zanka was on the money.
**[17:23] Enjin**
Nice work. You're an excellent trainer.
**[17:30] Zenka**
A mediocrity can be more objective
than a natural talent.
**[17:35] Zenka**
Don't underestimate
the brains of a mediocrity.
**[17:37] Rudo**
Thank you.
**[17:41] Zanka**
Man, you tick me off.
**[17:43] Zanka**
Let's see if you can make
multiple weapons. Get to it.
**[17:54] Zanka**
Guess he can.
**[17:57] Zanka**
He did it again!
**[18:00] Zanka**
You're a real cheat—
**[18:07] Enjin**
Yeah, thought so.
**[18:10] Enjin**
He gets a nosebleed if he uses his
instrument too many times in a row.
**[18:14] Riyo**
Crazy.
**[18:16] Enjin**
Guess those gloves' quality is so immense,
his body can't keep up.
**[18:21] Rudo**
Quality?
**[18:23] Enjin**
The longer an object is deeply cared for,
**[18:27] Enjin**
the more seasoned and superior
an instrument it becomes.
**[18:32] Enjin**
We call that "improving its quality."
**[18:36] Enjin**
The better the quality,
the more power it can bring to bear.
**[18:39] Enjin**
Quality isn't everything
in a fight, of course—
**[18:44] Enjin**
The experience and mindset of the user
influences the form its abilities take,
**[18:48] Enjin**
and that also plays a big role.
**[18:50] Enjin**
Both are important, I guess you could say.
**[18:53] Zanka**
* Yeah, if he's been caring for 'em since he*
* was a kid, they'll be pretty high in quality.*
**[18:59] Zanka**
*But would it affect him physically that much?*
**[19:03] Zanka**
* Or has the "series"*
* got something to do with it?*
**[19:09] Rudo**
But then...
**[19:11] Rudo**
Why did the object I turned into
a weapon fall apart in the end?
**[19:17] Rudo**
The ones I did now are just fine.
**[19:21] Rudo**
Even when I switch between them,
they stay in one piece.
**[19:24] Rudo**
Is there a time limit?
**[19:29] Riyo**
I wonder...
**[19:33] Riyo**
Maybe it's a "purpose fulfilled" kind of thing?
**[19:39] Riyo**
After all, your power's about bringing out
the "full and uninhibited worth"
**[19:44] Riyo**
of an object someone broke
or threw away, right?
**[19:47] Riyo**
When you recycle them like you do,
you're letting them fulfill their true purpose.
**[19:52] Riyo**
That's a really cool thing.
**[19:55] Zanka**
Their true purpose?
**[19:57] Zanka**
That's true. It fell apart when
the battle was over and Rudo felt safe.
**[20:03] Enjin**
That could be a part of Rudo's power, yeah.
**[20:10] Enjin**
To draw the full worth of garbage
and broken things—
**[20:14] Enjin**
let them fulfill their purpose
and lay them to rest.
**[20:18] Enjin**
Yeah, sounds right.
**[20:20] Enjin**
I think Riyo's on target, here.
**[20:23] Enjin**
You didn't break Gris's talisman
or the other things you turned into weapons.
**[20:28] Enjin**
You let objects retired too soon
go out in a last blaze of glory.
**[20:37] Rudo**
*I see.*
**[20:39] Rudo**
*My power's not about breaking objects.*
**[20:43] Riyo**
Though, actually, he said something
about your gloves being a "series"...
**[20:49] Riyo**
What was that about?
**[20:52] Rudo**
Series?
**[20:55] Rudo**
So there are more out there like them?
**[20:59] Rudo**
But why would...
**[21:02] Riyo**
Do they have a name?
**[21:05] Rudo**
A name?
**[21:06] Riyo**
Yeah.
**[21:08] sign**
The Ripper
**[21:08] Riyo**
When you love something, you name it, right?
**[21:09] sign**
Umbreaker
**[21:11] sign**
Lovely Assistaff
**[21:14] Rudo**
I never even thought about it.
**[21:18] Enjin**
You're going to have to give them a name.
**[21:41] Cthoni**
We're back, boss.
**[21:49] Zodyl**
The Cleaners... the City of Art...
**[21:53] Zodyl**
The Desert Altar...
**[21:56] Zodyl**
Vital instruments... series...
**[22:02] Zodyl**
The Watchman series.
**[22:08] Zodyl**
Rudo.

**[00:33] Riyo**
You're up late, aren't you?
**[00:37] Riyo**
It's 4 a.m.
**[00:40] Riyo**
We set out tomorrow, you know.
**[00:44] Rudo**
Riyo... wh-what are you doing in my room?
**[00:48] Rudo**
When did you... and how...
**[00:51] Riyo**
My room's right above yours.
**[00:54] Riyo**
I heard all the moaning and groaning,
**[00:56] Riyo**
so I got worried and
came in through the window.
**[00:59] Rudo**
The wi—
**[01:00] Rudo**
Right. Sorry.
**[01:04] Rudo**
*But... she's on my bed...*
**[01:10] Riyo**
Is it because of your hands?
**[01:13] Rudo**
They don't hurt as much
when I've got the gloves on.
**[01:17] Rudo**
But I've still got to wash them now and then.
**[01:23] Riyo**
Those wounds look nasty.
**[01:25] Riyo**
They don't look exactly like burns...
**[01:30] Rudo**
You'd have to ask my asshole parents.
**[01:36] Riyo**
Parents give us a lot of things, don't they?
**[01:42] Riyo**
Good things...
**[01:45] Riyo**
and bad.
**[03:42] Enjin**
Looks like it might be a while yet.
***SIGN*** Episode 9
***SIGN*** "The City of Graffiti"
**[03:52] Corvus**
Anyway.
**[03:54] Corvus**
Since Rudo's full-face isn't done yet,
**[03:56] Corvus**
I'd like you to head out
for the last of your prep first.
**[04:00] Rudo**
"Full-face"? Prep?
**[04:04] Enjin**
There's a thing we Cleaners are obligated
to wear when we enter a No Man's Land.
**[04:10] Enjin**
This here.
**[04:11] Rudo**
Hey, I remember that.
**[04:13] Enjin**
We Cleaners have an artist in our ranks.
**[04:17] Enjin**
He makes our full-faces and our clothing.
**[04:21] Enjin**
But he freaks out if we give him a deadline,
and his work quality suffers,
**[04:25] Enjin**
so we tend to just go at his pace.
**[04:28] Enjin**
He went off on Zanka
for trying to rush him one time.
**[04:34] Corvus**
So in the meantime,
you'll do the rest of your prep...
**[04:38] Corvus**
Well, phrased simply,
you'll have a spell cast on you.
**[04:44] Semiu**
You never know what might
happen in a No Man's Land.
**[04:47] Semiu**
You step on some innocuous trash, and boom.
**[04:51] Semiu**
Suddenly, you're trash beast food—
it happens all the time.
**[04:57] Semiu**
To minimize that risk,
we have a particular Giver cast—
**[05:03] Semiu**
or rather, draw—a spell on you.
**[05:05] Rudo**
Draw?
**[05:07] Semiu**
The boss gives him free rein, so he comes to
draw here at Cleaner HQ sometimes too,
**[05:12] Semiu**
but we haven't seen him in a while.
**[05:14] Semiu**
I suppose he's busy.
**[05:16] Enjin**
I wish he were here. It'd save us a trip.
**[05:20] Rudo**
So what's going on?
Where are we actually going?
**[05:25] Enjin**
The City of Graffiti, Canvas Town.
**[05:30] Enjin**
And the team who'll be coming to see
the No Man's Land woman with us...
**[05:44] Enjin**
These guys.
**[05:48] Enjin**
From "Akuta," we've got Zanka, Riyo, and me.
**[05:53] Enjin**
From "Eager," we've got Delmon and Tamsy.
**[05:57] Enjin**
Then we've got supporters—
Gris, Follo, and Tomme.
**[06:01] Enjin**
You typically want to run
with teams of five supporters,
**[06:04] Enjin**
but when going into a No Man's Land,
we minimize the number of unpowered supporters
**[06:08] Enjin**
and up the Giver count instead.
**[06:14] Delmon**
Rudo!
**[06:16] Delmon**
I heard your life story!
**[06:19] Delmon**
You've been through hell, kid!
**[06:21] Delmon**
I can't believe anyone would treat
one of their own that way! Unforgivable!
**[06:26] Delmon**
I like people with passion like yours!
**[06:29] Delmon**
You should join Eager—
**[06:31] Tamsy**
Lay off, Delmon.
**[06:34] Tamsy**
Enjin recruited Rudo.
**[06:37] Tamsy**
That means he's Akuta.
**[06:40] Tamsy**
Sorry, Rudo.
**[06:41] Tamsy**
He's really a good person.
**[06:44] Tamsy**
That said...
**[06:45] Tamsy**
I also like people with passion.
**[06:50] Enjin**
Since we've got Mr. Passion
himself right here,
**[06:52] Enjin**
Delmon, how about one of
your trademark speeches?
**[07:06] Delmon**
Let's get going to Canvas Town!
**[07:13] Delmon**
The road will be rocky and perilous!
**[07:17] Delmon**
However!
**[07:19] Delmon**
We shall never falter!
**[07:21] Delmon**
For we are the Cleaners!
**[08:15] Citizen A**
Hey, watch it! You messed up my lines!
**[08:19] Citizen B**
You're pissin' me off!
**[08:20] Enjin**
Sorry!
**[09:15] Rudo**
Are all cities on the Ground built like this?
**[09:19] Tamsy**
Most of the big cities have
the dome thing going on.
**[09:23] Tamsy**
It protects them from Sphere litter.
**[09:27] Rudo**
Litter?
**[09:28] Tamsy**
Yeah. Trash thrown from the Sphere.
**[09:31] Tamsy**
Most people who can't make it in a city
and have to live in the open
**[09:36] Tamsy**
end up crushed by "trash rain."
**[09:39] Tamsy**
Don't let it bother you, though.
**[09:42] Tamsy**
It's the fault of the people
who propagate that culture.
**[09:50] Man A**
Huh? Huh?
**[09:52] Man A**
What the heck?
**[09:55] Man B**
What are you doing...
**[09:57] Man A**
Well... it's just...
**[09:58] Man A**
There's something weird about this city.
**[10:02] Man A**
The door's open, but I can't go in.
**[10:07] Man B**
No freaking w—
**[10:12] Man A**
No way. What's going on here?
**[10:27] Enjin**
Don't worry, Rudo. Just walk on in.
**[10:31] Enjin**
So long as you're not
planning any funny business,
**[10:34] Enjin**
you can come and go as you please.
**[11:03] Rudo**
So much art...
**[11:05] Riyo**
Yeah, it really is a sight, isn't it?
**[11:09] Enjin**
Plenty of people on the Ground like to paint,
**[11:12] Enjin**
but not everyone thinks highly of it.
**[11:16] Enjin**
So, legend has it, they made Canvas Town
so they can make art wherever they like.
**[11:23] Zanka**
It gets even more painted every time I come.
**[11:25] Zanka**
Really is like the whole town's a canvas.
**[11:28] Riyo**
Corvus says they used to
call it the City of Art.
**[11:32] Tamsy**
Hey, Delmon, you've got paint on you.
**[11:37] Rudo**
Huh? Did we come here to look at art?
**[11:41] Enjin**
No.
**[11:42] Enjin**
We came to meet the artist Giver
who's based out of here.
**[11:48] Enjin**
He's got the power to put a protective
spell on anything he draws on.
**[11:53] Rudo**
A protective spell?
**[11:57] Enjin**
How to explain...
**[12:00] Enjin**
For instance,
"Negate one attack on this wall."
**[12:05] Enjin**
He channels that kind of... feeling?
Meaning? Into his drawing,
**[12:08] Enjin**
and it ends up applying to the wall.
**[12:12] Enjin**
Kind of like that.
**[12:13] Enjin**
Remember those two punks
who couldn't enter the town?
**[12:18] Enjin**
It's because the Giver drew the spell
**[12:20] Enjin**
"Don't let people with bad intentions
into the city" on the outside wall.
**[12:26] Enjin**
They probably had some nasty stuff planned.
**[12:31] Rudo**
It sounds like a flexible power.
**[12:34] Enjin**
Well, his vital instrument's a rare breed.
**[12:37] Enjin**
It's not actually *his*, per se.
**[12:39] Enjin**
It's handed down through—
**[12:42] Enjin**
Hey, there.
**[12:44] Enjin**
Sorry.
**[12:45] Enjin**
You okay?
**[12:58] Riyo**
You made that kid cry.
**[13:01] Riyo**
Enjin made a kid cry!
**[13:04] Enjin**
Ah, shit.
**[13:06] Mayor**
You're here earlier than expected, Cleaners.
**[13:12] Enjin**
Mr. Mayor?!
**[13:16] Enjin**
Thought we'd find you
in your house like usual.
**[13:19] Enjin**
We came to ask Gob for some spells again.
**[13:22] Enjin**
Where can we find him today?
**[13:24] Rudo**
Gob?
**[13:26] Mayor**
I'm sorry to tell you...
**[13:30] Mayor**
He died this morning.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Gob**
There's plenty more script I wanna tag.
**[13:58] Enjin**
Are you serious?
**[14:01] Mayor**
Body pollution.
**[14:04] Mayor**
Gob couldn't be satisfied in the safe zones.
**[14:07] Mayor**
He wanted to paint
in the polluted zones too.
**[14:11] Mayor**
I'll bet he went maskless more than a
few times, so focused on the joy of art...
**[14:17] Mayor**
After I warned him
time and again to wear it.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Enjin**
Watch this one, Rudo.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Enjin**
That's Gob.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Enjin**
That's a guy who never deviates
from what he wants to do.
**[15:00] Mayor**
Sorry. It's rotten news
to have sprung on you.
**[15:05] Enjin**
Don't sweat it. We...
**[15:09] Tamsy**
Seriously, don't let it bother you.
**[15:12] Tamsy**
It's a common cause of death
here on the Ground.
**[15:17] Mayor**
He already had his successor picked out.
**[15:23] Mayor**
The heir to his generational
vital instrument.
**[15:37] Mayor**
The successor is always chosen
by the previous user.
**[15:42] Mayor**
I don't know what standard they use,
**[15:46] Mayor**
whether it's drawing skill
or something deeper.
**[15:51] Mayor**
But whoever inherits this pen
always awakens powers as a Giver,
**[15:58] Mayor**
and takes on the job of spellcaster.
**[16:04] Mayor**
This child is Remlin Tysark,
**[16:07] Mayor**
the appointed spellcaster after Gob.
**[16:13] Mayor**
Inheriting this pen is
a tremendous honor for any artist.
**[16:19] Mayor**
But for one so young...
**[16:24] Mayor**
The spellcaster is like
the city's spokesperson.
**[16:28] Mayor**
Can someone so young
withstand such pressure?
**[16:39] Follo**
Yeah, there are people
who can become Givers right away.
**[16:43] Follo**
An object needs to be taken care of for
a long time to become a vital instrument,
**[16:49] Follo**
but those who already
have high Giver potential,
**[16:52] Follo**
even if they don't have their
own object, can become a Giver
**[16:55] Follo**
the moment they take
an instrument in their hand.
**[16:58] Follo**
Assuming the quality
is high enough, of course.
**[17:03] Follo**
Though, if Zanka's to be believed,
there's aptitude involved there, too.
**[17:09] Tamsy**
Aptitude aside,
**[17:10] Tamsy**
the idea of passing on a vital instrument
is a rare thing in itself.
**[17:14] Follo**
True.
**[17:17] Rudo**
*Passing on a vital instrument...*
**[17:21] Mayor**
Enjin. I'm sorry to say,
but this may take quite some time.
**[17:26] Enjin**
Seriously, don't worry about us.
**[17:29] Enjin**
There's no need to rush.
**[17:31] Mayor**
Remlin and Gob were close.
Almost like siblings, I'd wager.
**[17:39] Mayor**
Then for this to strike... so suddenly...
**[17:46] Mayor**
Gob really did paint with so much joy.
**[17:52] Mayor**
You could tell how much he loved it,
whether or not it was a request.
**[17:59] Mayor**
I'm not an artist myself,
but I became the mayor here
**[18:05] Mayor**
because I wanted to protect that sight.
**[18:10] Enjin**
I get it.
**[18:16] Enjin**
* He'd drop by the Cleaners whenever*
* he wanted, paint what he wanted,*
**[18:20] Enjin**
*and leave when he wanted.*
**[18:24] Enjin**
The way he'd grin when he ran off...
Guess I'll never see it again.
**[18:38] Enjin**
Well, we'd better be going.
**[18:42] Mayor**
Yes. I'm truly sorry.
**[18:47] Enjin**
Remlin, was it?
**[18:53] Enjin**
We'll come hang out again.
**[18:55] Enjin**
Take care.
**[19:03] Remlin**
No more!
**[19:09] Remlin**
No more, no more, no more!
**[19:14] Remlin**
No more dark stuff!
**[19:17] Remlin**
Celebrate!
**[19:46] Mayor**
R-Remlin?
**[19:49] Remlin**
I had a thought.
**[19:51] Remlin**
It hurts that Gob died,
and I feel sad about it.
**[19:55] Remlin**
But Gob can't enjoy his afterlife
if we're all weepy out here.
**[20:00] Remlin**
So...
**[20:03] Remlin**
Because of that...
**[21:05] Remlin**
Let's party!
**[21:30] Remlin**
Let's celebrate his life
with parties, painting, and joy.
**[21:42] Mayor**
I'm sorry, Enjin.
**[21:44] Mayor**
It looks like you won't get
your spells for a while yet.
**[21:48] Enjin**
I figured.
**[21:51] Enjin**
This is Canvas Town,
**[21:53] Enjin**
the city of freedom and joy.

**[00:07] Remlin**
So, what do you want me to draw and where?
**[00:10] Rudo**
Hey!
**[00:11] Rudo**
Hey!
**[00:12] Rudo**
What's with the facepaint?!
**[00:18] Rudo**
What's so funny?!
**[00:21] Rudo**
Hey! You listening to me?!
**[00:21] Enjin**
I'm starting to get a handle on what
kind of person ends up as the spellcaster.
**[00:24] Remling**
Sorry, sorry...
**[00:25] Rudo**
Stop laughing! Stop laughing, damn it!
**[00:26] Enjin**
New one feels a lot like the old one.
**[00:28] Mayor**
Their whimsy is unstoppable.
**[00:34] Remlin**
Let's start over. I'm Remlin.
**[00:36] Remlin**
As the new spellcaster, I hope to p—
**[00:39] Remlin**
I mean, work well with you!
**[00:41] Rudo**
Did you almost say "play"?
**[00:42] Enjin**
How many spellcasters
have there been, anyway?
**[00:44] Mayor**
I believe Remlin would be the sixth.
**[00:47] Enjin**
You *believe*?
**[00:49] Mayor**
They tell their histories through art,
not the written word.
**[00:56] Remlin**
So, hey, there's this thing I noticed.
**[00:59] Remlin**
When I draw on a person, the power doesn't
work right if I don't have their consent.
**[01:05] Remlin**
Outside of town, I usually get permission
before I draw on the walls,
**[01:08] Remlin**
so it's probably the same thing.
**[01:10] Remlin**
I figure if you need permission
to draw on walls and objects,
**[01:13] Remlin**
it goes double for people, right?
**[01:17] Enjin**
That's how it was with Gob, yeah.
**[01:19] Enjin**
Do spellcasters get the same
abilities as their predecessors?
**[01:22] Mayor**
I've heard their powers have
historically been similar.
**[01:26] Mayor**
But you sometimes see subtle differences.
**[01:29] Mayor**
Everyone has their own way of using things,
their own experiences and ideas.
**[01:34] Mayor**
Makes sense that everyone's ability
would take a different shape,
**[01:39] Mayor**
but if it's the same each generation,
I guess it's the vital instrument that's spec—
**[01:42] Remlin**
Nah, that's not it.
**[01:44] Remlin**
It turns out the same 'cause we all bring
a real sense of play to our drawing.
**[01:48] Remlin**
We draw balloons in a stressful scene
or flowers in a combat scene...
**[01:52] Remlin**
We sneak all kinds of meaning
into our drawings to play around.
**[02:00] Remlin**
"Freedom and play"...
**[02:01] Remlin**
I think those are the factors Gob and
those before him were chosen for.
**[02:05] Remlin**
I'll probably choose someone like that too.
**[02:08] Remlin**
I love it!
**[02:10] Enjin**
*Yeah, I don't get it.*
**[02:12] Enjin**
So what it comes down to is,
**[02:14] Enjin**
you end up with similar powers
because you think the same way?
**[02:18] Remlin**
We don't think the same way!
**[02:20] Remlin**
We all draw whatever
*we* want to in the moment!
**[02:23] Remlin**
What we end up drawing is different, too!
**[02:29] Mayor**
Lay off, Enjin.
**[02:31] Mayor**
If you try to go too deep
into conversation with an artist,
**[02:33] Mayor**
you'll just end up more confused.
**[02:34] Rudo**
*Enjin's bothered by it.*
**[02:39] Remlin**
You want me to draw "reduce damage
from one major hit" on your body, right?
**[02:44] Remlin**
Coming right up!
**[02:51] Enjin**
H-H-H-Hey!
**[02:54] Enjin**
You're tattooing it?!
**[02:55] Mayor**
Remlin. Take this serious—
**[02:59] Mayor**
Wait, what?
**[03:00] Mayor**
You turned the instrument into a brush before.
**[03:04] Mayor**
What's with that shape?
**[03:06] Remlin**
I was just thinking it'd make a cool tattoo,
and it turned into this.
**[03:09] Remlin**
It's good to have options, right?
**[03:12] Enjin**
Hey, you kidding me?
**[03:14] Enjin**
Not only can you cast spells,
you can also create any tool you want?!
**[03:19] Enjin**
You're terrifying!
**[03:23] Remlin**
Fine, fine. No tattoos.
**[03:26] Remlin**
But if I just draw it on,
it'll wash off in water, right?
**[03:29] Remlin**
So let's do this right.
**[03:35] Remlin**
I can scribb—I mean,
cast a spell on your body, right?
**[03:41] Rudo**
*This kid never stops.*
**[03:43] Enjin**
This kid's kinda growing on me.
**[03:53] Enjin**
Thanks for the help. Mr. Mayor, Remlin.
**[03:56] Mayor**
Well, I'm sorry for the runaround.
**[04:00] Mayor**
I think drawing on nine people
really took a toll on the kid.
**[04:05] Enjin**
You did good work for a first time.
**[04:08] Enjin**
Thanks a lot.
**[04:20] Man B**
What's going on here, Mr. Mayor?!
**[04:22] Man B**
You can't pass the pen to some no-name brat!
**[04:24] Man A**
It should go to someone more worthy!
**[04:27] Rudo**
*The guys who couldn't come in.*
**[04:29] Man B**
I won the Perfect Art Contest!
**[04:34] Man B**
Tons of people were counting on me
to become the new spellcaster.
**[04:38] Man B**
That's why I came all the way out here,
and this is how you treat me?!
**[04:42] Man B**
Canvas Town's really gone downhill!
**[04:44] Man A**
Anyway, I'm a better art—
**[04:47] Mayor**
Shut up!
**[04:49] Mayor**
Your shitty attitude is the reason
you can't even enter the city!
**[04:53] Mayor**
We don't need posers who call themselves
artists but only care about fame!
**[04:58] Mayor**
Get that through your heads and make tracks!
**[05:01] Mayor**
No one wants to look at your ugly faces!
**[05:07] Enjin**
Man, the mayor's always scary when he's mad.
**[05:17] Enjin**
See you guys.
**[05:19] Enjin**
Don't get so mad that
you pop a blood vessel, okay?
**[05:22] Mayor**
Sorry.
**[05:24] Remlin**
Just stay away from the gate, Mr. Mayor.
**[05:28] Rudo**
Thanks. I'm glad I saw all that.
**[05:31] Rudo**
I'll be back.
**[05:34] Remlin**
I'll come to draw at Cleaner HQ someday too!
**[05:39] Remlin**
Bye-bee!
**[05:50] Rudo**
Are we going back to Cleaner HQ?
**[05:53] Enjin**
Yeah. To get your full-face.
**[05:58] Enjin**
But first, Rudo...
**[06:00] Enjin**
Let's pick you up a treat.
**[06:04] Rudo**
A treat?
**[06:11] Rudo**
H-Hey...
**[06:13] Rudo**
You sure?
**[06:15] Enjin**
Never hurts to be prepared,
so pick out a few things that sing to you.
**[06:20] Enjin**
We're far from the polluted zones,
so no trash beasts here.
**[06:24] Enjin**
Take some time and pick out what you—
**[06:33] Rudo**
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
**[06:35] Rudo**
Awesome!
**[06:36] Enjin**
He really loves this stuff, huh?
**[08:30] August**
It's done!
**[08:31] August**
Hell yeah, it's done!
**[08:33] August**
It's done! I did it!
**[08:36] August**
I freaking did it!
**[08:38] Rudo**
Who's that?
**[08:39] Semiu**
Hey, you're here. Welcome back.
**[08:43] Semiu**
We got word about what
happened in Canvas Town.
**[08:47] Semiu**
I'm sorry to hear about—
**[08:48] August**
Hey there!
**[08:50] August**
Your mask's ready!
**[08:53] Enjin**
Oh, that guy.
**[08:56] Enjin**
That's August. He makes the Cleaners' gear.
**[09:01] Enjin**
Looks like he finished your full-face, Rudo.
**[09:04] August**
Yeah! It's freaking finished!
**[09:07] August**
It came out perfect, man!
**[09:09] August**
We didn't have time to meet up, but I got
his measurements while he was asleep,
**[09:13] August**
so it should just fit!
**[09:15] August**
And Enjin and Semiu told me
about his personality,
**[09:19] August**
so I made some choices
to max out the cool factor!
**[09:22] Rudo**
Wait a minute.
**[09:23] Rudo**
He got my measurements...
while I was asleep?
**[09:26] August**
Lucky me that you didn't lock your room!
**[09:30] Rudo**
You asshole!
**[09:32] Enjin**
Sphereites don't lock their doors?
**[09:34] Riyo**
Man, and Rudo doesn't sleep that much.
**[09:37] Riyo**
It takes real skill to
catch him when he's asleep!
**[09:40] Zanka**
Riyo, how do you know that?
**[09:42] Eishia**
Big brother!
**[09:44] August**
Hey, li'l sis!
**[09:46] Eishia**
You need to stop doing this!
**[09:48] Eishia**
Stop causing trouble for everyone!
**[09:52] August**
Huh? What was that?!
**[09:54] Eishia**
And please keep your voice down.
**[09:55] August**
What was that?!
**[09:56] Eishia**
Please!
**[09:57] August**
Eishia, sweetie! You here?
**[09:58] Rudo**
*They're siblings?*
**[10:00] Eishia**
I am!
**[10:00] August**
Where are you? Hey!
**[10:01] Eishia**
I'm right here!
**[10:11] Rudo**
Man. What's with Ground people
shouting all the time?
**[10:16] Enjin/Zanka**
*You're one to talk.*
**[10:18] Enjin**
Right. Rudo.
**[10:20] Enjin**
Take off your choker a minute.
**[10:31] Rudo**
Wh-What are you—
**[10:35] Enjin**
Go on. Hold out the choker.
**[10:44] Enjin**
"Choker." It's like a communicator...
**[10:48] Enjin**
Kind of like a phone.
**[10:49] Enjin**
You can talk through it to people
you've traded blood with.
**[10:53] Rudo**
Is that why Ground people all wear
these things around your necks?
**[10:58] Riyo**
And trading blood gives it a real
friends-to-the-end feel, right?
**[11:01] Follo**
Contact us any time, Rudo.
**[11:04] Rudo**
Sure...
**[11:07] Rudo**
*What tech is this?*
**[11:09] Rudo**
*Wait. It's not another Giver power, is it?*
**[11:13] Enjin**
Anyway...
**[11:16] Enjin**
We'll be taking some of *your* blood too!
**[11:25] Enjin**
At last, we're off to No Man's Land
to find the lady!
**[11:29] Enjin**
That said...
**[11:31] Enjin**
You don't think you brought
a little too much trash?
**[11:34] Enjin**
We'll have to walk at some point.
**[11:36] Enjin**
Just take what you can carry.
**[11:39] Rudo**
It's all backups.
**[11:41] Enjin**
It'll be your second time
in a No Man's Land, I guess.
**[11:45] Enjin**
The trouble's going to start
the second we arrive.
**[11:48] Enjin**
Better be ready.
**[12:02] Enjin**
Penta, the desert No Man's Land.
**[12:07] Enjin**
Now that's exciting.

**[12:42] Enjin**
Make sure you keep up, Rudo.
**[12:46] Rudo**
That's the plan.

In a No Man's Land, first,
you put on the half-mask!
**[13:19] (Flashback) August**

You put the mask on overtop and...

The other one...
**[13:59] Zodyl**
You'll see when you go.
**[14:06] Tomme**
Okay, let's get this down.
**[14:10] Tomme**
First trash beast encountered upon
arrival in No Man's Land Penta.
**[14:13] Tomme**
Shape was "scorpion-like."
**[14:15] Tomme**
Appearance and thickness of exoskeleton
suggest attacks like a scorpion.
**[14:20] Tomme**
Pincer and tail attacks presumed...
**[14:24] Tomme**
There.
**[15:01] Zanka**
Hey, I didn't do it.
**[15:07] Zanka**
Sheesh, keep it down.
**[16:16] Enjin**
Octashredder!
**[16:41] Enjin**
Missed one, huh?
**[16:44] Enjin**
Up to you now.
***SIGN*** "Asshole"
**[17:52] Enjin**
Lots of those scorpion trash beasts.
**[17:56] Enjin**
For them to come out on the surface suggests
**[17:58] Enjin**
a whole lot of trash buried
beneath this sand-like stuff.
**[18:06] Gris**
Tomme!
**[18:07] Gris**
Your record-keeping duties are important,
but do them after combat's over!
**[18:11] Gris**
That was so dangerous!
**[18:13] Tomme**
I know I should,
**[18:14] Tomme**
but if I'd waited, I'd probably forget.
**[18:19] Tomme**
Besides, your job here in No-Man's Land
is to protect the record-keeper, right?
**[18:24] Tomme**
I trust you guys.
**[18:25] Gris**
Still, have *some* self-preservation instinct!
**[18:46] Rudo**
*Is there something there?*
**[18:49] Delmon**
Hey, there you are!
**[18:55] Rudo**
Delmon! Tamsy!
**[18:57] Tamsy**
That kicked up a lot of sand, eh?
**[18:59] Tamsy**
We almost lost sight of you.
**[19:00] Delmon**
You did good back there, Rudo!
**[19:04] Delmon**
I only wish I could've seen you in action!
**[19:08] Tamsy**
I'm sure we will soon enough.
**[19:10] Delmon**
Yeah, but still!
**[19:12] Rudo**
I'm glad. I managed to be
a little useful this time.
**[19:12] Tamsy**
Well, next time, try to stay close...
**[19:28] Amo**
Yes... of course that's how it is...
**[19:35] Amo**
You came here to see Amo, didn't you?
**[19:44] Tamsy**
How long...
**[19:47] Tamsy**
How long has that woman been there?
**[19:50] Delmon**
I know it's hard to see around here,
but I couldn't sense her either!
**[19:56] Rudo**
Wait. Could she be...
**[19:59] Enjin**
Think she's the one we're looking for?
**[20:03] Zanka**
Nah, no way it's that easy.
**[20:06] Enjin**
She doesn't seem hostile to me, at least.
**[20:09] Enjin**
Maybe we should ask for directions?
**[20:12] Riyo**
Hey!
**[20:14] Riyo**
You the one who's seen people coming
and going from the Sphere and the Ground?!
**[20:18] Zanka**
Show some manners!
**[20:22] Amo**
Oh, yes, indeed!
**[20:24] Riyo**
See? She's the woman we've been looking for!
**[20:29] Enjin**
Well... Guess we got lucky.
**[20:33] Enjin**
Let's talk to her and get go—
**[20:35] Amo**
Excuse me.
**[20:37] Amo**
It stinks out here.
It's not good for the lungs.
**[20:41] Amo**
Perhaps any talking should
be done at Amo's house?
**[20:45] Amo**
Masks won't be needed there.
**[20:49] Zanka**
Why didn't she bring a mask, then?
**[20:51] Amo**
It's such a short walk!
**[20:54] Amo**
Okay? Okay?
**[20:56] Riyo**
Enjin.
**[20:57] Riyo**
Why don't I go and ask her what's what?
**[21:02] Enjin**
Nah, we should all go.
**[21:04] Enjin**
Even if she's plotting something,
I'd prefer to talk it out.
**[21:10] Enjin**
If we end up in a fight anyway,
I'll take her on.
**[21:14] Riyo**
Hey, you sure?
**[21:16] Enjin**
I can hold back the best.
**[21:57] Rudo**
No way...

**[01:19] Zanka**
I'd caught sight of it while we were walkin',
**[01:22] Zanka**
but I didn't think someone lived here.
**[01:25] Tomme**
You don't expect to find a structure like this
deep in Penta, the No Man's Land.
**[01:30] Tomme**
I'll have to write this down!
**[01:32] Rudo**
*It's pretty tall.*
**[01:34] Rudo**
*Could it lead all the way to the Sphere?*
**[01:41] Amo**
Come now, visitors!
**[01:43] Amo**
Do enter!
***SIGN*** Episode 11
***SIGN*** "Amo's Hospitality"
**[01:58] Gris**
I don't like the look of any of this.
**[02:03] Amo**
The living room's *awfully* messy.
**[02:07] Amo**
Come to Amo's room for hospitality.
**[02:22] Amo**
Also...
**[02:24] Amo**
Take off those masks, now!
**[02:28] Amo**
The stinky stuff can't make it in here,
so masks are safe to take off!
**[02:34] Amo**
Besides, talking to Amo
without showing your faces...
**[02:40] Amo**
Wouldn't that be *so* nasty?
**[03:02] Amo**
So handsome!
**[03:04] Amo**
So pretty!
**[03:05] Amo**
So rugged!
**[03:08] Amo**
It's so nice to see everyone's faces!
**[03:12] Tomme**
Let's see...
**[03:14] Tomme**
"Top floor is the girl's room.
Surprisingly whimsical interior."
**[03:18] Gris**
You don't need to record this!
**[03:20] Rudo**
*How's she got so many objects?*
**[03:23] Rudo**
*In the middle of a desert...*
**[03:26] Amo**
C'mon, now!
**[03:28] Amo**
What's the thing you want to say?
**[03:35] Rudo**
I want to know about someone who can
come and go from the Sphere and the Ground.
**[03:39] Rudo**
I heard you'd seen them, so I'd like to meet—
**[03:42] Amo**
Oh, that's it!
**[03:45] Amo**
New topic: "what do you look for in a crush"?
**[03:49] Amo**
Amo likes people with a strong smell!
**[03:54] Amo**
The smell matters more than the face.
**[03:58] Amo**
So... oh, yeah...
**[04:01] Amo**
Amo likes that big man the best of all!
**[04:11] Rudo**
Wh-What the hell?
**[04:14] Enjin**
Brass tacks, lady.
**[04:16] Enjin**
Is this romance talk the price for info?
**[04:19] Amo**
Price for... info?
**[04:21] Enjin**
We came to get info on
how to get to the Sphere.
**[04:25] Enjin**
"Romance talk" is one of the stranger
methods of payment I've heard of,
**[04:29] Enjin**
but we'll play along.
**[04:32] Amo**
Oh...
**[04:37] Amo**
That's weird.
**[04:39] Amo**
That's weird. That's weird.
That's weird. That's weird.
**[04:43] Amo**
That's weird. That's weird.
That's weird. That's weird.
**[04:46] Amo**
That's weird! That's weird!
That's weird! That's weird!
**[04:48] Amo**
That's weird! That's weird! That's weird!
**[04:52] Amo**
You came here to talk to Amo, no?!
**[04:55] Amo**
But you talk like all you
want to do is *use* Amo!
**[05:01] Amo**
That's weird! That's weird!
**[05:03] Amo**
Amo was so happy to finally
have visitors from outside!
**[05:07] Amo**
Now you just want to *use* Amo?!
**[05:09] Enjin**
Well, that's not good.
**[05:11] Amo**
You don't want to see Amo
unless you get something from Amo?!
**[05:15] Amo**
That's the worst!
**[05:18] Amo**
At least say you came here just
to see Amo even if it's a lie!
**[05:23] Enjin**
Hey, sorry. I didn't phrase that right.
**[05:29] Enjin**
I'm interested in you, girl!
**[05:36] Amo**
Don't you *dare* lie!
**[05:40] Amo**
Amo's not into you anymore!
**[05:44] Enjin**
Look...
**[05:47] Enjin**
Fine. Can I say what's on my mind too?
**[05:51] Enjin**
Could you cover up a little?
It's hard to concentrate, here.
**[05:57] Amo**
Men who complain about women's fashion...
**[06:03] Amo**
You're the worst of anyone so far...
**[06:08] Amo**
Amo's breaking up with you.
**[06:14] Amo**
Amo won't even let you be friends!
**[06:18] Enjin**
Figured. She's a Giver.
**[06:26] Rudo**
That's...
**[06:29] Rudo**
That mark is...
**[06:39] Amo**
Take it away...
**[06:42] Amo**
big man.
***SIGN*** And Now...
**[08:30] Rudo**
What the hell...
**[08:35] Rudo**
did you just do... to Enjin?
**[08:43] Rudo**
Hey!
**[08:44] Rudo**
You did something, right?
**[08:46] Rudo**
You're a Giver, aren't you?!
**[08:48] Rudo**
And I see your boots have
the same mark as my 3R...
**[08:52] Rudo**
Just what the hell *are* you?!
**[08:57] Amo**
Okay! What do you look for in a crush?
**[09:05] Amo**
Why don't you talk?
**[09:07] Amo**
Talking is how people communicate, you know?
**[09:11] Amo**
If only Amo talks, then you and Amo
can't get to know each other better.
**[09:15] Amo**
People always love talking about themselves!
**[09:19] Amo**
So it'll be more fun if you all
talk about yourselves too!
**[09:23] Amo**
Amo doesn't get many visitors, so Amo
wants to enjoy talking with all of you!
**[09:29] Amo**
Well...
**[09:31] Amo**
Maybe not the party poopers.
**[09:34] Rudo**
No way.
**[09:36] Rudo**
There's no way I can talk to this girl...
**[09:44] Zanka**
I think I'm gettin' it.
**[09:46] Zanka**
You only listen to people who play along
with your topic of choice
**[09:50] Zanka**
or are actively tryin' to bring it down.
**[09:54] Zanka**
Which means I bet you'll
hear me loud and clear—
**[09:58] Zanka**
You cow.
**[09:59] Zanka**
I'm not gonna listen to any more
of your creepy chatter, dumbass.
**[10:03] Zanka**
I dunno how you did that back there,
**[10:05] Zanka**
but if that's how you're gonna treat Enjin,
**[10:09] Zanka**
then I don't give a damn
about the Sphere anymore.
**[10:12] Zanka**
I see an enemy, and I'm gonna crush it.
**[10:16] Riyo**
Zanka.
**[10:17] Amo**
How?
**[10:22] Amo**
How could you say all those mean things?
**[10:26] Amo**
Amo didn't do anything bad!
**[10:31] Amo**
So mean... So mean...
**[10:35] Amo**
Amo is so, so...
**[10:40] Amo**
wounded.
**[10:49] Zanka**
What the hell?! You're on our side, Delmon!
**[10:52] Zanka**
She usin' her power to control you?
**[10:54] Delmon**
How *dare* you hurt her!
**[11:00] Delmon**
You bastards!
**[11:01] Delmon**
If you do anything else to hurt her,
**[11:03] Delmon**
you'll get no mercy from me!
**[11:05] Amo**
Squee.
**[11:07] Delmon**
She is the reason I fight!
**[11:10] Delmon**
I will protect her! That is my sacred duty!
**[11:14] Tamsy**
No.
**[11:16] Tamsy**
He's not being controlled.
**[11:18] Tamsy**
He means it!
**[11:19] Tamsy**
I've spent enough time with him to know.
**[11:22] Gris**
Hey. Hang on a minute.
**[11:24] Gris**
This doesn't make sense.
**[11:27] Gris**
What's going on here, then?!
**[11:31] Amo**
Aw, you didn't realize?
**[11:39] Amo**
Big man here has been Amo's fan for ages.
**[11:43] Follo**
Delmon has?
**[11:44] Gris**
Since when?
**[11:45] Tamsy**
No.
**[11:47] Tamsy**
Delmon wouldn't attack his own team
just because he had a crush.
**[11:51] Amo**
You still don't get it...
**[11:54] Amo**
Big man would gladly betray
you all just to help Amo.
**[11:58] Amo**
But of course he would!
**[12:00] Amo**
Amo hasn't done anything wrong...
**[12:05] Amo**
Amo just wanted to talk, and you ruined it!
**[12:13] Delmon**
Vital Instrument—Ookiku Naare.
**[12:21] Tamsy**
We just came here to get information,
**[12:24] Tamsy**
but we got more than we bargained for.
**[12:29] Rudo**
*Why does it always turn into a fight?*
**[12:33] Rudo**
*Is this my fault too?!*
**[12:37] Apostle**
It is your fault.
**[12:43] Apostle 1**
Child with the blood of a criminal.
**[12:45] Apostle 2**
Filth.
**[12:46] Apostle 3**
Your filth pollutes everything around you.
**[12:50] Apostle 1**
Send the filth to the Pit.
**[12:52] Apostle 2**
Send the filth to the Pit.
**[12:53] Apostle 3**
Send the filth to the Pit.
**[12:54] Apostles**
Send the filth to the Pit.
**[12:59] Amo**
Oh, I know!
**[13:01] Amo**
There's another fan of Amo here, isn't there?
**[13:08] Amo**
What Amo wants is for everyone to
stay and have lots of fun talking.
**[13:14] Amo**
But... if anyone else says
something to ruin the fun,
**[13:25] Amo**
my fan might just have to punish that someone!
**[13:47] Rudo**
You... Apostles...
**[13:51] Rudo**
What are you doing here?!
**[13:56] Tamsy**
Get your head in the game!
**[14:07] Delmon**
You're not supposed to dodge my watering.
**[14:12] Tamsy**
That vital instrument ties back
to Delmon's past.
**[14:15] Tamsy**
It came from his desire to see
his plants grow big and strong.
**[14:20] Zanka**
So anything hit with the water
it spouts ends up growin', right?
**[14:26] Tamsy**
Yes. It controls the fluid
content in the target.
**[14:30] Tamsy**
It can force it to absorb it like a sponge
and blow it up like a balloon.
**[14:36] Tamsy**
But what happens to a balloon
that takes in too much water?
**[14:44] Zanka**
It pops.
**[14:48] Tamsy**
I'm betting he "watered" Enjin from behind.
**[14:53] Zanka**
A big splash like that...
How'd he do it without Enjin noticin'?
**[14:59] Tamsy**
He can change the nozzle setting
for different uses.
**[15:04] Tamsy**
It appears he used
the "silent nozzle" this time.
**[15:08] Tamsy**
He'd never used it on a person before.
**[15:13] Tamsy**
That woman is definitely...
**[15:17] Riyo**
Hey, listen.
**[15:19] Riyo**
There's a lot I don't get about this,
but what we need to do is get Delmon to chill.
**[15:24] Riyo**
Gotta take care of problems quick.
**[15:27] Zanka**
Don't go alone, Riyo!
Delmon's a tricky opponent!
**[15:31] Zanka**
Stay close so that we can team up!
**[15:33] Zanka**
We can't lose another person!
**[15:35] (Flashback) Amo**
There's another fan
of Amo here, isn't there?
**[15:40] Zanka**
Eyes forward, Riyo! C'mon!
**[15:44] Riyo**
Can't really trust any of them.
**[15:47] Zanka**
Riyo! Eyes front!
**[15:49] Delmon**
Pressure adjustment—Strong.
**[15:57] Amo**
Oh, big man, your weapon's so powerful!
**[16:01] Amo**
But don't bust Amo's house up too much!
**[16:04] Riyo**
That was close... so close...
**[16:04] Amo**
You'd better help with the fixing-up later!
**[16:08] Zanka**
Focus, Riyo!
**[16:13] Amo**
Look! Can't tell who's on your side now, huh?
**[16:18] Amo**
You're scared, huh?
**[16:20] Amo**
Amo told you... everyone would have
more fun if they just talked to Amo!
**[16:27] Amo**
Talk about romance is the first step to peace!
**[16:31] Tamsy**
She's nuts.
**[16:33] Tamsy**
Rudo! Get up—
**[16:33] Rudo**
Damn. Damn it.
**[16:37] Tamsy**
Rudo?
**[16:39] Rudo**
What's going on?
**[16:40] Rudo**
I thought I was on the Ground.
**[16:44] Rudo**
What's going on here?
**[16:46] Rudo**
I'm on the Ground. On the Ground.
**[16:50] Rudo**
I...
**[16:53] Rudo**
Am I back in the Sphere?
**[16:57] Zanka**
The hell's goin' on?
**[17:03] Zanka**
What's that smell?
**[17:05] Zanka**
It's like... huh?
**[17:09] Zanka**
Smells so familiar...
**[17:13] Amo**
How do you think memories work?
**[17:18] Amo**
Things you've seen... Things you've heard.
**[17:21] Amo**
People you've spent time with.
**[17:23] Amo**
All kinds of things turn into memories.
**[17:29] Amo**
But Amo thinks it's about smell.
**[17:33] Amo**
But if you won't talk about romance,
you can smell a nostalgic scent.
**[17:40] Amo**
Then maybe you'll feel
a little more like romance!
**[18:05] Rudo**
Chiwa...
**[18:14] Chiwa**
He's lovely. I'll treasure him forever.
**[18:18] Rudo**
You didn't...
**[18:20] Rudo**
You didn't, though!
**[18:22] Rudo**
You threw him away!
**[18:28] Rudo**
You threw him away while I watched!
**[18:33] Tamsy**
She's after Rudo now?
**[18:36] Tamsy**
It's the same as with Delmon.
**[18:38] Tamsy**
That wasn't a real betrayal.
**[18:41] Tamsy**
She's showing him something...
**[18:44] Tamsy**
with that power of hers.
**[18:48] Amo**
Showing him?
**[18:51] Amo**
So silly.
**[18:53] Amo**
Amo doesn't show anyone anything.
**[18:59] Amo**
Amo just makes a smell.
**[19:03] Amo**
Amo makes smells about happy times
spent with people you love.
**[19:09] Amo**
Maybe the smell is different for everyone,
**[19:13] Amo**
but everyone who smells it
always starts to protect Amo!
**[19:19] Amo**
Amo said too much.
**[19:22] Zanka**
I get it. Which means...
**[19:25] Zanka**
If we breathe in that smell, we'll start
thinkin' you're a person we love?
**[19:32] Zanka**
Sounds like we'll be fine
if we wear our masks, then.
**[19:35] Zanka**
Thanks for givin' us that info.
**[19:38] Tamsy**
Besides, not all memories of people
we love are necessarily happy ones.
**[19:43] Tamsy**
I wonder what would happen if it
turned out to be someone we hated.
**[19:49] Zanka**
Maybe they'd wanna kill you!
**[19:52] Zanka**
Well, we're just gonna take you out anyway.
**[19:57] Amo**
Stupid. You stupids!
**[19:59] Amo**
You must be crazy! So stupid!
**[20:04] Amo**
Remember, Amo told you...
**[20:06] Amo**
The memories are of *happy times*!
**[20:12] Rudo**
Damn it. Damn it.
**[20:15] Rudo**
You abandoned me.
**[20:18] Rudo**
I hate you for that. So why...
**[20:30] Rudo**
Why does the happy feeling
seem so much bigger right now?
**[20:40] Chiwa**
What's going on? Hey!
**[20:43] Chiwa**
Stop it! Let me go!
**[20:54] Chiwa**
Rudo!
**[20:55] Amo**
Help me!
**[21:06] Zanka**
That hurt, dammit!
**[21:08] Zanka**
You'll pay for hittin' me, Rudo!
**[21:11] Rudo**
Apostles. I'm not like I was back then.
**[21:16] Rudo**
I've got real power now.
**[21:18] Rudo**
Power so I don't have to lose anyone again...
**[21:22] Rudo**
And the power to kick all of your asses!
**[21:27] Riyo**
Don't worry.
**[21:33] Riyo**
I'll protect you. Relax.
**[21:38] Follo**
I'll beat them. For you.
**[21:40] Gris**
Follo?!
**[21:42] Delmon**
Crush them!
**[21:49] Tamsy**
Looks like we miscalculated.
**[21:53] Tamsy**
They were all too far gone.
**[21:59] Tamsy**
I never wanted to use my
instrument on a friend.
**[22:07] Tamsy**
But I see I have no choice.

**[00:04] (Flashback) Delmon's Wife**
I can't believe flowers
can bloom even in this dump.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Delmon's Wife**
Delmon.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Delmon's Wife**
Thanks to your tireless hard work,
**[00:14] (Flashback) Delmon's Wife**
I finally get to see the real thing.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Delmon's Wife**
Thank you.
**[00:19] (Flashback) Delmon**
Nah. One's not enough.
**[00:27] (Flashback) Delmon**
Let's cover our whole house in those flowers.
**[00:43] Amo**
Big Man!
**[00:46] Amo**
My... sweet Rudo?
**[00:49] Amo**
And...
**[00:51] Amo**
Girl!
**[00:56] Amo**
As you can see,
**[00:58] Amo**
Amo's got lots of fans now.
**[01:01] Amo**
Are you still gonna try
to bring the party down?
**[01:08] Tamsy**
I'll ask you all...
**[01:10] Tamsy**
to endure this.
**[01:14] Tamsy**
Vital instrument—Tokushin.
**[01:28] Delmon**
Why, you...
**[01:31] Delmon**
Sons of bitches!
**[01:34] Delmon**
I'll never let you hurt her again!
**[01:42] Tamsy**
Net.
**[02:02] Amo**
Wh-What is this stuff?
**[02:04] Amo**
Rope?
**[02:06] Amo**
Aw, look what you did to Amo's room!
**[02:11] Amo**
Do something, you guys!
**[02:19] Tamsy**
It would better not to move so much.
**[02:22] Tamsy**
The more you move, the tighter it'll hold you.
**[02:28] Tamsy**
I'm very sorry...
**[02:36] Tamsy**
I was hoping the pain
would snap you out of it,
**[02:39] Tamsy**
but I guess not.
**[02:41] Amo**
What a meanie!
**[02:45] Amo**
You wanna experiment so bad,
you'll hurt your own friends to do it?
**[02:51] Amo**
But the experiment failed.
**[02:54] Amo**
To help Amo, they'll find a way to escape,
**[02:57] Amo**
no matter how much pain
it puts them through.
**[02:59] Amo**
It's gonna get bloody!
**[03:02] Tamsy**
My vital instrument is a distaff.
**[03:06] Tamsy**
Do you know?
**[03:10] Tamsy**
Its a staff used for winding thread.
**[03:31] Tamsy**
Winding complete!
**[03:37] Tamsy**
And...
**[03:42] Tamsy**
Psycho lady capture complete.
**[05:30] Tamsy**
Go on.
**[05:32] Tamsy**
Return them to normal already.
**[05:35] Zanka**
Better make it snappy.
**[05:37] Zanka**
I'm not likin' how damn surreal this looks.
**[05:40] Zanka**
Also, I didn't do much this time.
**[05:43] Tamsy**
That's untrue.
**[05:45] Tamsy**
Knowledge that she was
fighting multiple enemies
**[05:50] Tamsy**
would have put a mental burden
on our opponent.
**[05:54] Tamsy**
And I think calling her "cow"
was quite effective.
**[05:57] Gris**
Tomme!
**[06:02] Gris**
You were wearing your mask? Thank goodness.
**[06:06] Gris**
How's Enjin?
**[06:08] Tomme**
Still nothing.
**[06:11] Tomme**
I put the mask on him, but...
**[06:14] Gris**
I see. We'd better get
the med team to look at him.
**[06:26] Amo**
Hurts... It hurts...
**[06:31] Amo**
No one's been this rough with Amo in ages!
**[06:34] Amo**
You're awful... awful...
**[06:37] Amo**
Meanie, meanie, meanie, meanie!
**[06:47] Amo**
Help Amo!
**[06:52] Zanka**
She's starting up again.
**[06:54] Zanka**
But nobody can move—
**[06:55] Delmon**
Unforgivable.
**[06:58] Delmon**
Unforgivable!
**[07:01] Delmon**
You better get ready.
**[07:04] Delmon**
I'm gonna get outta here...
**[07:08] Delmon**
and kill the shit out of every last one of you!
**[07:29] Tamsy**
Enough.
**[07:31] Tamsy**
You like her that much, do you?
**[07:35] Tamsy**
Then I'll release you.
**[07:48] Delmon**
What the hell?!
**[08:34] Zanka**
Tamsy.
**[08:36] Zanka**
You went way too damn far.
**[08:58] Tamsy**
I'd say that's handled.
**[09:01] Zanka**
Handled?! You killed your own—
**[09:06] Amo**
See? See?
**[09:09] Amo**
This is what happens when
people don't just talk to Amo!
**[09:15] Amo**
Your true nature shows itself
even when you try to hide it!
**[09:20] Amo**
They're all on death's door
because you're so awful!
**[09:25] Amo**
Zero harmony with your friends at all!
**[09:40] Tamsy**
Huh?
**[09:41] Tamsy**
Zanka, did you forget the thing?
**[09:46] Tamsy**
Wait, I think you did.
**[09:49] Tamsy**
They're all allowed to reduce damage
from one hit, even a fatal one.
**[09:57] Tamsy**
I mean, remember?
**[09:59] Tamsy**
We all got the spell drawn on us, right?
**[10:03] Tamsy**
By Remlin.
**[10:06] Enjin**
That's right. We're all fine.
**[10:09] Enjin**
Including me.
**[10:13] Enjin**
I'll be taking these boots, if you please.
**[10:33] Corvus**
I hope they got the info about the border.
**[10:38] Semiu**
B-Boss...
**[10:40] Semiu**
Given the people we sent,
I doubt there will be a problem.
**[10:45] Corvus**
You look rather unhappy, still.
**[10:50] Corvus**
Is it because of what you saw in Rudo?
**[10:58] Corvus**
Why don't you tell me?
**[11:04] Corvus**
What did you see when
you first laid eyes on Rudo?
**[11:12] Enjin**
It really ticks me off
when people only wear one sock.
**[11:19] Enjin**
Huh?
**[11:19] Enjin**
Hey...
**[11:21] Enjin**
Are you not wearing socks at all?
**[11:24] Amo**
Give that back!
**[11:25] Amo**
That belongs to Amo!
**[11:27] Amo**
Give it back! Give it back!
**[11:29] Enjin**
Fine, fine!
**[11:31] Amo**
You...
**[11:32] Amo**
Don't you touch that boot!
**[11:34] Amo**
It'll lose that person's smell...
**[11:36] Enjin**
"That person"?
**[11:37] Amo**
Give it back!
**[11:44] Enjin**
Holy shit!
**[11:46] Amo**
Don't sniff it, you jerk!
**[11:48] Gris**
How long has Enjin been healed?
**[11:50] Enjin**
You were wearing this stinky thing?
**[11:50] Gris**
Healing internal hemorrhage
with a spell is something else.
**[11:51] Enjin**
Am I gonna survive this stench?
**[11:52] Amo**
Give it back! Give it back!
**[11:54] Tomme**
He was fine when
I started administering aid.
**[11:58] Amo**
Stop it! Just stop!
**[11:58] Tomme**
He was playing possum
until he could see his chance.
**[12:01] Enjin**
Oh, shut up already!
**[12:02] Amo**
Give it back!
**[12:02] Gris**
I see.
**[12:04] Enjin**
Cancel your ability and return
everyone to normal, and I will.
**[12:13] Amo**
Amo can't use her power with just one.
**[12:18] Amo**
So everyone won't protect Amo now.
**[12:32] Delmon**
What in the world have I been doing?
**[12:37] Tamsy**
Looks like the spell did its trick.
**[12:40] Tamsy**
Remlin did good work.
**[12:43] Delmon**
Tamsy. Zanka.
**[12:48] Delmon**
What happened back there?
**[12:51] Tamsy**
Glad to see you're back in your right mind.
**[12:54] Tamsy**
You were just affected
by that woman—Amo's—power.
**[12:59] Tamsy**
A smell that makes you remember
happy times with someone you love.
**[13:04] Tamsy**
She used it to make you think
she was that person.
**[13:10] Tamsy**
It was quite difficult.
**[13:14] Delmon**
I see.
**[13:17] Delmon**
Then... she hasn't come back to life after all.
**[13:25] Delmon**
I see.
**[13:28] Zanka**
*There's somethin' nasty about her power.*
**[13:33] Zanka**
* All the more for those who've lost*
* someone important to them.*
**[13:39] Zanka**
* The richer your memories*
* of those happy times are...*
**[13:44] Zanka**
*The harsher the reality you return to.*
**[13:51] Zanka**
*Nasty as hell.*
**[13:57] Enjin**
Everyone's got masks on, right?
**[14:00] Enjin**
Here.
**[14:05] Zanka**
Hey. What now, Enjin?
**[14:08] Zanka**
Even if we give up on getting info and leave,
she's way too dangerous.
**[14:12] Zanka**
We can't leave her out here.
**[14:16] Enjin**
But outside of her instrument,
she's just an ordinary, powerless girl.
**[14:22] Enjin**
And I'd feel weird about taking
the instrument that means so much to her.
**[14:27] Enjin**
Let's just try to convince her
not to hurt anyone—
**[14:29] Amo**
Oh, brother.
**[14:33] Amo**
Amo feels sick.
**[14:35] Amo**
Amo's whole house got ruined.
**[14:38] Amo**
Oh, brother!
**[14:39] Amo**
Doesn't anybody here feel guilty?!
**[14:44] Zanka**
The hell is wrong with you?!
**[14:56] Zanka**
Rudo?
**[14:59] Semiu**
I've seen a lot of people in my time.
**[15:03] Semiu**
But what I saw in Rudo, I've never seen before.
**[15:09] Semiu**
It's not just his gloves.
**[15:13] Semiu**
What's unusual about him is...
**[15:17] Amo**
You took your mask off?
**[15:19] Amo**
You can't get enough of Amo's smell, huh?
**[15:42] Amo**
What in the world...
**[15:53] Semiu**
There's something growing inside of Rudo.
**[15:57] Semiu**
Put simply, it's like... yes...
**[16:02] Semiu**
It's like something
that could destroy the world...
***SIGN*** Episode 12
***SIGN*** Something Like a Curse
**[16:06] Semiu**
Something like a curse.
**[16:14] Enjin**
Hey!
**[16:15] Enjin**
Rudo, enough! Calm down!
**[16:21] Gris**
That's enough!
**[16:23] Gris**
We know how to cancel out her ability.
**[16:27] Gris**
There's no need to go that far.
**[16:31] Gris**
Besides, she's a girl.
**[16:33] Rudo**
Who gives a shit?
**[16:38] Rudo**
Because she's a woman,
I'm not allowed to fight back?
**[16:42] Rudo**
Because she's a woman, I'm supposed to shut up
and let her kill people I care about?
**[16:55] Rudo**
I can't do that.
**[16:56] Gris**
That's not what I mean!
**[16:58] Gris**
You're beating up on someone who's powerless—
**[17:01] Rudo**
Powerless, my ass!
**[17:03] Rudo**
She's a Giver!
**[17:06] Rudo**
She tricked us and almost got us all killed.
**[17:10] Rudo**
However she looks on the outside,
**[17:12] Rudo**
inside she was laughing at us,
stomping down on us.
**[17:18] Rudo**
She deserves a damn pummeling.
**[17:29] Enjin**
I see.
**[17:33] Enjin**
So that's your thought process.
**[17:36] Enjin**
So...
**[17:37] Enjin**
How do we get the info now?
**[18:06] Enjin**
Let's have a little talk, shall we?
**[18:11] Enjin**
Tomme. Get her patched up, would you?
**[18:15] Tomme**
Yes, sir!
**[18:38] Rudo**
Why aren't you saying anything?
**[18:40] Enjin**
Huh?
**[18:44] Enjin**
Well... it looks like you've realized
what's going on already.
**[18:50] Enjin**
You got emotional and forgot
why we came here, right?
**[18:59] Rudo**
I...
**[19:02] Rudo**
The whole time I was in the Sphere...
**[19:06] Rudo**
I always had to take it.
**[19:09] Rudo**
No matter what people said to me,
I was told to hold my temper. To endure it.
**[19:14] Rudo**
But when they sent me
to the Ground, I realized...
**[19:18] Rudo**
If I tried to hold it in, I'd lose.
**[19:21] Rudo**
And just now, I realized...
**[19:25] Rudo**
I've gone back to how I was.
**[19:30] Rudo**
The version of me before I learned patience,
**[19:32] Rudo**
who just hit the people around me
with all the darkness welling up inside me...
**[19:39] Rudo**
After all this crap I've been though,
I haven't really changed.
**[19:44] Rudo**
Above or below, any growth I think
I've gone through is just an illusion.
**[19:49] Rudo**
I'm still a shitty little brat!
**[19:55] Enjin**
As for me...
**[19:57] Enjin**
I like hot ladies.
**[20:03] Enjin**
Smarter than me, with curves and
sex appeal and a forgiving personality.
**[20:10] Enjin**
I love 'em so damn much.
**[20:12] Enjin**
But ladies and kids with complicated needs,
I have a lot more trouble with.
**[20:17] Enjin**
Y'know? That's not a thing
women are happy to hear, right?
**[20:22] Enjin**
The fact that I can't hide that stuff
is one of my bad traits.
**[20:27] Enjin**
Even we adults have tons of crap
we need to grow out of.
**[20:32] Enjin**
So if you want to grow, that "realization"
is the thing you really need.
**[20:39] Enjin**
I was brought face-to-face
with my faults ages ago.
**[20:43] Enjin**
You realized yours on your own.
**[20:47] Enjin**
Which means...
**[20:49] Enjin**
Heck, man, we've got nowhere to go but up!
**[20:57] Enjin**
Let's go apologize together later.
**[21:03] Tomme**
Sorry about that.
**[21:06] Tomme**
We didn't mean to take things this far.
**[21:10] Tomme**
I really am sorry.
**[21:19] Tomme**
I'm happy to talk as much as you like,
if you don't mind me!
**[21:24] Tomme**
I love talking romance too!
**[21:31] Amo**
You'd make a good mama.
**[21:35] Tomme**
You think?
**[21:37] Amo**
Amo's mama was a good mama too.
**[21:40] Amo**
Mama is the reason Amo met her first love.
**[21:45] Amo**
And that Amo got her treasure.
**[21:49] Amo**
And saw the angel that goes between
the Sphere and the Ground.
**[21:53] Tomme**
I see. The angel...
**[21:57] Tomme**
The Sphere and the Ground?
**[22:00] Gris**
Hey...
**[22:02] Gris**
What'd you just say?

**[00:12] Amo**
Mama! The birdie!
**[00:14] Amo**
It's a black birdie!
**[00:15] Amo**
All shiny with big round eyes...
**[00:19] Amo**
Cutie-pie!
**[00:20] Mom**
Amo, that black bird won't ever like you.
**[00:25] Mom**
Let's leave it be.
**[00:29] Amo**
Aw, shucks.
**[00:32] Amo**
You stink, bird!
**[00:33] Amo**
Amo hates you! Get lost!
**[00:36] Amo**
Don't drop your ugly feathers on me!
**[00:38] Amo**
Stupid idiot bird!
**[00:40] Mom**
Come on.
**[00:42] Mom**
Let's leave the black bird alone and go.
**[00:48] Amo**
Where are Mama and Amo going?
**[00:51] Mom**
To see someone who will love you lots and lots.
**[01:10] Amo**
Mama?
**[01:11] Mom**
Isn't that nice, Amo?
**[01:13] Mom**
That person will love you forever and ever.
**[01:18] Mom**
You're a very lucky girl, Amo.
**[01:24] Mom**
Lucky you.
**[01:27] Amo**
That man...
**[01:32] Amo**
That man...
**[01:36] Amo**
That man loves Amo that much?!
***SIGN*** Episode 13
***SIGN*** An Empty Gaze
**[02:13] Amo**
Hey, Mister. Where are we going?
**[02:16] Man**
I have a perfect home for you.
**[02:20] Man**
It'll be just for you and me,
where no one else can come between us.
**[02:25] Amo**
Wowie! Just like a castle!
**[02:28] Man**
Stay inside, though. It's not safe out there.
**[02:34] Amo**
What a pretty house!
Mama would love to see it...
**[02:39] Man**
Your mama's decided not to
be in your life any more.
**[02:44] Man**
I'll be your life from now on.
**[02:49] Man**
I'll nurture you.
You'll grow big and strong.
**[02:57] Amo**
All those picture books!
**[03:02] Amo**
So much to eat!
**[03:07] Amo**
So many clothes!
**[03:10] Amo**
Hey, Mister.
**[03:13] Amo**
Do you get these at your job?
**[03:16] Man**
That's right.
**[03:17] Man**
I'm a trafficker, you see.
**[03:20] Man**
I get more things than I'll ever need.
**[03:26] Man**
But... But...
**[03:29] Man**
All the other traffickers hate me!
**[03:32] Man**
I don't know why!
**[03:33] Man**
I act totally normal,
but they all say I'm creepy!
**[03:37] Man**
Why? I'm a Giver!
There aren't many traffickers like me!
**[03:41] Amo**
*Oh, there he goes again.*
**[03:44] Man**
Amo... Amo...
**[03:48] Man**
Remember how I told you this room
used to be for some kind of ritual?
**[03:54] Man**
I think we should do a ritual too.
**[03:56] Man**
Our usual ritual!
**[03:58] Amo**
Hey... Mister.
**[04:02] Amo**
Amo's heart beats fast
when she does that ritual.
**[04:07] Amo**
It's hard to breathe.
**[04:09] Amo**
So please...
**[04:13] Man**
Amo.
**[04:16] Man**
What you're feeling is love.
**[04:22] Man**
See?!
**[04:24] Man**
The girl in the picture book
falls in love with her prince, remember?
**[04:28] Man**
That's the same thing!
**[04:29] Man**
You've fallen in love with me!
**[04:41] Amo**
Got it!
**[04:44] Amo**
This is love, huh?!
**[05:09] Man**
You smell so good, Amo.
**[05:18] Man**
Not alone...
**[05:20] Man**
You're not alone... not alone...
**[05:28] Amo**
First love. So this feeling is first love!
**[05:47] Amo**
Who's there?
**[07:25] Mask A**
Excuse us.
**[07:32] Man**
Wh-Who are you people?
**[07:34] Man**
Who said you could come in here?!
**[07:36] Man**
This place is for just me and Amo!
**[07:39] Man**
Hey!
**[07:41] Man**
You little...
**[07:43] Man**
I'll get you...
**[07:45] Man**
If you don't get out right now,
**[07:47] Man**
you'll leave in bags!
**[07:51] Man**
I'll stomp you to death
with my vital instrument!
**[08:37] Mask A**
These would suit you better.
**[08:43] Mask A**
The void created by what your heart has lost...
**[08:46] Mask A**
These will fill.
**[09:03] Mask A**
Yes, this would be the closest.
**[09:11] Mask A**
Come here.
**[09:16] Mask A**
Miss.
**[09:18] Mask A**
You may keep those until the time comes.
**[09:21] Mask A**
Take good care of them.
**[09:24] Amo**
Are you...
**[09:37] Amo**
An angel?
**[10:15] Amo**
Hey, Mister! Did you see that?!
**[10:19] Amo**
Those people... they were angels!
**[10:22] Amo**
So cool, right?!
**[10:23] Amo**
They really exist!
They're not just in picture books!
**[10:26] Man**
Amo...
**[10:28] Amo**
Oh, yeah. You got hit.
**[10:30] Amo**
Does it hurt—
**[10:31] Man**
Those are my boots!
**[10:33] Man**
How dare you take them, you little bitch?!
**[10:37] Man**
You think a little pissant like you
is worthy to touch them?!
**[10:41] Amo**
Mister...?
**[10:43] Man**
Thief! Filthy thief!
**[10:44] Man**
How many times... do I have to teach you...
**[10:46] Man**
before you just do what I say?!
**[10:49] Man**
Stupid... stupid... stupid...
**[10:52] Amo**
*Huh? Weird...*
**[10:55] Amo**
*This doesn't feel like normal...*
**[11:00] Amo**
*Normally, it doesn't feel like anything.*
**[11:03] Amo**
*It stopped feeling like anything.*
**[11:06] Amo**
*This noisy feeling in Amo's heart...*
**[11:09] Amo**
*Did the boots make that?*
**[11:16] Amo**
*Yeah... that's right.*
**[11:20] Amo**
*These boots suit Amo better.*
**[11:22] Amo**
*They suit Amo better!*
**[11:26] Amo**
*These belong to Amo, then.*
**[11:31] Amo**
*No one else can have them!*
**[11:44] Rudo**
Hey.
**[11:46] Rudo**
I wanted to ask y—
**[11:47] Follo**
Rudo!
**[11:48] Follo**
Where have you been?
**[11:50] Follo**
She's telling us everything
**[11:53] Follo**
about the thing you came to ask.
**[12:00] Man**
No... How?
**[12:04] Man**
How is my vital instrument responding to you?
**[12:10] Man**
Not possible... vital instruments are only
supposed to be usable by their owner.
**[12:17] Man**
Why is mine responding to somebody else?
**[12:22] Amo**
Maybe... because they didn't belong to you?
**[12:28] Amo**
Amo doesn't know much about
what vital instruments are,
**[12:33] Amo**
but the angel said these boots
suited Amo better.
**[12:37] Amo**
And Amo's heart feels so full
when she holds these boots.
**[12:43] Amo**
It's like... Amo found a piece she lost.
**[12:48] Amo**
Like when you put batteries in an old toy
and it works for the first time.
**[12:52] Amo**
That's what it feels like, see?
**[12:58] Amo**
So... Amo can have these, right?
**[13:10] Man**
Listen, dear... it's not nice
to take other people's things.
**[13:14] Man**
I guess a dumpster like you wouldn't know.
**[13:17] Man**
It's basic human courtesy, okay?
**[13:20] Amo**
Wh-What?
**[13:22] Amo**
Y-You have all kinds of things
you stole from people, Mister.
**[13:28] Amo**
Besides... Amo asked
if she could have them...
**[13:33] Amo**
It was an angel who said
they suited Amo better!
**[13:38] Amo**
So just let Amo have them!
**[13:40] Man**
What's wrong with you, Amo?
**[13:44] Man**
Why are you being such
a disobedient girl today?
**[13:48] Man**
Do I need to teach you all over again?
**[13:55] Amo**
Amo's feeling... a lot of feelings right now.
**[14:01] Amo**
Like that thing... courage...
and annoyance, too.
**[14:06] Amo**
And she's thinking not-good things
right now, too.
**[14:12] Amo**
But...
**[14:17] Amo**
Amo won't ask for anything ever again.
**[14:20] Amo**
Give these boots to Amo, please!
**[14:22] Amo**
Amo wants them... so, so much!
**[14:29] Man**
No!
**[14:33] Man**
How many times must I tell you?
These boots are mine, and only mine!
**[14:38] Man**
How many times do I have to have
this conversation, you pain in the ass?!
**[14:44] Man**
Just let go already!
**[14:46] Man**
Come on! Do it!
**[14:51] Amo**
You're mean! You're mean!
**[14:54] Amo**
Amo asked so many times!
Do what Amo says right now!
**[14:58] Amo**
You said you loved Amo!
**[15:42] Amo**
Um...
**[15:47] Amo**
Huh?
**[15:49] Amo**
Why did that happen?
**[15:52] Amo**
Huh? Why did Amo live
all this time with Mister?
**[15:57] Amo**
What is Amo doing here?
**[16:00] Amo**
Why did Mama introduce Amo to Mister?
***SIGN*** Because she sold you
***SIGN*** Because she sold you
**[16:08] Amo**
Oh, no! It's not like that!
**[16:15] Amo**
Amo sees now.
**[16:19] Amo**
She did it so Amo could be loved!
**[16:26] Amo**
Mister was a really good first love.
**[16:30] Amo**
Amo will never forget him.
***SIGN*** After that,
Amo discovered her power
***SIGN*** Many people
entered this desert
***SIGN*** She wanted to be loved
by so many people
***SIGN*** Many months later
**[16:56] Amo**
And then the angel came back.
**[17:00] Amo**
Only one, though.
**[17:09] Gris**
I didn't expect her to tell us about
the angel just while telling her story.
**[17:14] Tomme**
Amo must have been through so much...
**[17:18] Follo**
"Angel"... Not a real angel, right?
**[17:21] Follo**
She means a Sphereite, right?
**[17:22] Zanka**
Or a Giver with powers to grow wings?
**[17:25] Tamsy**
I wonder.
**[17:27] Tamsy**
She seems mentally unstable.
It could be a hallucination.
**[17:31] Riyo**
But the question is, how?
How did they cross the border?
**[17:37] Amo**
Flying with wings?
**[17:39] Riyo**
So whereabouts did the angel set down?
**[17:44] Amo**
Over the horizon.
**[17:46] Zanka**
That's not helpful.
**[17:48] Enjin**
Hey, miss.
**[17:49] Enjin**
When did the angel come back?
**[17:52] Amo**
A month ago, maybe?
**[17:55] Enjin**
A month, huh?
**[17:57] Enjin**
Around the same time Rudo came to the Ground.
**[18:12] Rudo**
It's that guy.
**[18:16] Rudo**
Okay. It's that asshole.
**[18:19] Rudo**
He's here on the Ground.
**[18:22] Rudo**
And he was part of a pair.
**[18:25] Rudo**
Got it.
**[18:34] Rudo**
*That's awesome news!*
**[18:36] Rudo**
* Maybe he came after me?*
* But I don't give a shit.*
**[18:40] Rudo**
* If they're here, I just*
* have to track them down.*
**[18:43] Rudo**
*Wait for me.*
**[18:45] Rudo**
*I'll find you no matter what it takes,*
**[18:47] Rudo**
*and make you tell me everything...*
**[18:49] Rudo**
* How to get back up there,*
* why you killed Regto...*
**[18:55] Rudo**
* And then I'll make you apologize*
* in front of Regto's grave!*
**[19:01] Amo**
You're the same, right?
**[19:04] Amo**
You... Rudo...
**[19:07] Amo**
Those gloves made your heart human, right?
**[19:11] Amo**
These things you and Amo carry...
**[19:14] Amo**
they go well with people
who are missing something.
**[19:17] Amo**
A big hole in your heart needs
a lot to fill it up.
**[19:22] Amo**
These things have enough to fill
the holes in your and Amo's hearts.
**[19:29] Amo**
Amo got back the feelings
that humans should have.
**[19:34] Amo**
But becoming human made
Amo understand some things.
**[19:41] Amo**
Like what Mister was doing to her.
**[19:45] Amo**
That she was so lonely all by herself.
**[19:51] Amo**
That she wants to be with someone...
wants to be needed.
**[19:56] Amo**
But...
**[19:57] Amo**
Amo was afraid to leave her walled garden.
**[20:02] Amo**
She waited for people to come for her.
**[20:06] Amo**
Waited to connect with people
who came to her garden...
**[20:11] Amo**
But it didn't go so well... and then.
**[20:17] Amo**
You came to say sorry to Amo, right?
**[20:21] Amo**
You don't have to.
**[20:23] Amo**
Amo's the same way as you.
**[20:26] Amo**
No... Not just Amo.
**[20:28] Amo**
Everyone is.
**[20:31] Amo**
They only use their hands
when it's time to hit others.
**[20:35] Amo**
That's why the world never changes.
**[20:41] Rudo**
Then...
**[20:46] Rudo**
To form connections with other people...
**[20:50] Rudo**
Let's you and me learn to
hold our hands out to others.
**[20:55] Rudo**
I don't know how to do it right, either.
**[20:58] Rudo**
So let's study it together.
**[21:04] Amo**
You're doing it right now.
**[21:15] Rudo**
You're really not coming?
**[21:16] Amo**
Nah.
**[21:18] Amo**
Amo wants to stay a little longer
and work some things out.
**[21:22] Amo**
But come back to talk sometimes, Rudo.
**[21:27] Rudo**
Sure, sometimes.
**[21:29] Enjin**
Okay, let's head out!
**[21:30] Tomme**
I'll come again sometime, Amo!
**[21:33] Rudo**
Later.
**[21:36] Amo**
Yeah.
**[21:39] Amo**
Later.
**[21:51] Enjin**
We didn't learn how you cross the border,
**[21:54] Enjin**
but I'd say we got something out of it.
**[21:56] Enjin**
We confirmed the existence of "angels"
who cross the border,
**[22:00] Enjin**
and saw a vital instrument with
the same emblem as Rudo's gloves.
**[22:04] Riyo**
That "series" the Raider mentioned.
**[22:06] Riyo**
Would those boots be part of it too?
**[22:10] Enjin**
Could be.
**[22:12] Rudo**
*Angels...*
**[22:14] Rudo**
*I was mad enough at Amo to hit her like that,*
**[22:17] Rudo**
* and learning that angel bastard*
* was here on the Ground*
**[22:21] Rudo**
*almost make me lose my shit again,*
**[22:24] Rudo**
*but listening to Amo talk softened
that feeling for some reason.*
**[22:40] Amo**
Later, huh?
**[22:41] Amo**
It'd be nice to have a sleepover next time.
**[22:50] Amo**
Who's there?
**[22:52] Amo**
No! What're you doing?!
**[22:56] Amo**
No! Give them back!
**[22:59] Amo**
No!
**[23:08] Jabber**
Man, the desert's a bitch.
**[23:11] Jabber**
I'd say I got something out of it, though...
**[23:32] Zodyl**
Time to start, eh?

**[00:03] Mymo**
*Hey, hey, hey!*
**[00:04] Mymo**
*Good afternoon!*
**[00:06] Mymo**
* Ordinary people,*
* this is your newscaster, Mymo!*
**[00:10] Mymo**
*Yeah, yeah, yeah!*
**[00:11] Mymo**
*Let's get grooving to that weather forecast!*
**[00:12] Enjin**
Why do I always have to drive, you ask?
**[00:13] Mymo**
*Keep an eye on that baby!*
**[00:15] Mymo**
*We'll start with the southern region*
**[00:15] Enjin**
If anyone else drives, we all fall asleep.
**[00:18] Mymo**
* where we'll be having a little rain from*
* evening through the night, baby.*
**[00:19] Enjin**
Gris's driving is the most dangerous of all.
**[00:21] Mymo**
* Don't forget an umbrella*
* on your way back from work, bro.*
**[00:21] Enjin**
It's so pleasant, we wouldn't notice
if we went off a cliff.
**[00:25] Mymo**
* No problems around Kamuatari District,*
* where the cloudy skies continue.*
**[00:30] Delmon**
You're driving too rough, Enjin!
**[00:30] Mymo**
*Next up, eastern region, yeah!*
**[00:32] Enjin**
Don't blame me! It's the ground's fault!
**[00:33] Mymo**
* We've known since last week that*
* there's a big storm rolling your way.*
**[00:34] Riyo**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[00:37] Mymo**
*If the "cloud" passes over you,*
**[00:37] Rudo**
So Remlin's spell didn't
cure all bumps and bruises?
**[00:39] Mymo**
* you've got a good chance*
* of a trash storm headin' your way!*
**[00:42] Mymo**
*Better get your shit together!*
**[00:42] Riyo**
Pretty sure it just cures the lethal stuff...
**[00:45] Riyo**
That's what Remlin said too, right?
**[00:48] Zanka**
Even though it's Tamsy
that caused the worst of it.
**[00:51] Zanka**
Necessary though it might've been.
**[00:52] Tamsy**
I'm really sorry about that, okay?
**[00:55] Enjin**
That's the risk you take
when you enter a No Man's Land.
**[00:58] Enjin**
We should probably get
a proper doctor's checkup...
**[01:01] Enjin**
Hey, there's one close by.
**[01:12] Rudo**
This city...
**[01:14] Rudo**
I feel like I've been here before.
**[01:22] Rudo**
Then the doctor is...
**[01:24] Rudo**
Don't tell me.
**[01:28] Alice**
Hey, it's been a while!
**[03:03] Alice**
Whadda you want?!
**[03:04] Alice**
I'm working, here!
**[03:07] Rudo**
Old ma...
**[03:09] Rudo**
Woman.
**[03:10] Alice**
You got that right, kiddo!
**[03:12] Patient**
Shut up, lady!
**[03:14] Patient**
My head's killing me!
**[03:16] Patient**
Can't you treat me without shouting?
**[03:18] Alice**
You're the one who's shouting!
**[03:20] Alice**
You came here for my help,
so shut up and let me do it!
**[03:23] Alice**
Sheesh! I've got my grandkids
here today, you know!
**[03:27] Alice**
I deserve peace and quiet already!
**[03:29] Alice**
There! All done!
**[03:31] Alice**
Now pay up and get out!
**[03:36] Patient**
I'll never come back, you old hag!
**[03:38] Patient**
Stupid little...
**[03:42] Enjin**
This is why you never get new patients.
**[03:45] Alice**
Why should I change myself
for whiners like that?!
**[03:51] Enjin**
She's kinda cool.
**[03:52] Riyo**
Enjin always stops by here
when we're passing through, doesn't he?
**[03:57] Zanka**
I think he likes the old weirdo.
**[03:59] Enjin**
I do, but she's also awesome!
**[04:04] Enjin**
She was a pioneer,
the first to treat body pollution!
**[04:08] Enjin**
She studied polluted objects
to find a way to treat it,
**[04:10] Enjin**
but she ended up working too close with them,
and the shouting is an aftereffect.
**[04:14] Rudo**
She's a scary lady in a few different ways.
**[04:16] Alice**
Just call me by my name already!
**[04:19] Alice**
My name is Alice!
**[04:21] Alice**
Alice Stilza!
**[04:23] Alice**
And don't you forget it!
**[04:25] Rudo**
*Kind of a cute name!*
**[04:27] Rudo**
Huh? Stilza?
**[04:30] August**
Gramma! Gramma!
**[04:33] August**
These sweets you made suck!
**[04:37] Eishia**
Big Brother... You can't
just *say* it like that...
**[04:41] Eishia**
H-Huh? What are you...
**[04:43] August**
Hey! What brings you guys here?!
**[04:46] Rudo**
*They're all related?!*
**[04:50] Eishia**
W-We sometimes stop by.
**[04:53] Eishia**
Our parents are no longer with u—
**[04:54] August**
They're dead as doornails!
**[04:56] Eishia**
And I can learn about heali—
**[04:57] August**
She's a brilliant-ass doc!
**[04:59] Alice**
Hey, August!
**[05:01] Alice**
If you hate my sweets that much,
you can't have any more!
**[05:04] August**
Face it, Gramma, they just suck!
**[05:07] Alice**
You still ate them all!
**[05:07] Enjin**
It's not the healthiest family dynamic.
**[05:09] Eishia**
Big Brother...
**[05:16] Eishia**
We've treated them all,
so let's go home. I'm tired.
**[05:20] August**
You guys got a car? Take us with you, yo!
**[05:24] Eishia**
We came here on a motorcycle!
**[05:26] Zanka**
*A victim of the family dynamic.*
**[05:28] August**
How'd you guys like the No Man's Land?
**[05:30] August**
And how's that mask I made treating you?!
**[05:33] Alice**
Keep it down!
**[05:35] Enjin**
It's a long story. Just read the report.
**[05:38] August**
Boy, I don't like the sound of that!
**[05:46] August**
Oh, right! The Cloud's passing by soon,
so you'd better find shelter from the trash!
**[05:52] Enjin**
We'll try.
**[05:54] August**
Later, then!
**[05:57] Zanka**
We'll probably hit it on our way back, yeah.
**[06:02] Rudo**
"Cloud"?
***SIGN*** Episode 14
***SIGN*** The Storm Before the Storm
**[06:24] Enjin**
The Sphere moves.
**[06:27] Enjin**
As it does, sometimes it drops trash.
**[06:31] Enjin**
It generally follows
the same route all the time,
**[06:34] Enjin**
so people create safe zones to avoid it,
**[06:37] Enjin**
but with stuff falling from so high up,
it's hard to be precise.
**[06:40] Enjin**
There's no shortage of people
who die from falling clutter.
**[06:43] Tamsy**
Turns more and more people
against the Sphere as a result.
**[06:49] Tamsy**
Sadly, anyone who goes up to try to
take their revenge is killed by the border.
**[06:55] Riyo**
Yeah, it's a real mystery.
**[06:59] Riyo**
How did Rudo and the "angels"
get past the border?
**[07:05] Rudo**
I don't know. But...
**[07:08] Rudo**
I feel like I saw something.
**[07:10] Tamsy**
"Something"? Like what?
**[07:14] Rudo**
I don't know.
**[07:16] Rudo**
My memories of that time are so fuzzy.
**[07:19] Rudo**
But...
**[07:46] Enjin**
Oh, it's mine.
**[07:48] Enjin**
What is it?
**[07:49] Semiu**
*Enjin. Where are you now?*
**[07:50] Enjin**
Oh, Semiu?
**[07:52] Enjin**
Heading back now.
**[07:53] Enjin**
I can fill you in then.
**[07:55] Semiu**
Please do.
**[07:57] Semiu**
* But you should go around*
* the back way this time.*
**[08:01] Semiu**
*We're dealing with a bit of an infestation.*
**[08:09] Rudo**
Back way? Infestation?
**[08:12] Rudo**
What's that all about?
**[08:23] Enjin**
That's the back way.
**[08:28] Enjin**
Still, the idea of pests making it
into the Cleaners is a laugh.
**[08:32] Rudo**
What, you've got bugs or something?
**[08:35] Enjin**
That's right!
**[08:36] Enjin**
It's a breed of pests we call "marauders."
**[08:44] Marauder A**
Right on target!
**[08:46] Marauder A**
Since they're sheltering a Sphereite,
I figured they'd have pretty awesome defenses,
**[08:50] Marauder A**
but these Cleaner morons are wide open!
**[08:52] Marauder B**
Stealing that Sphereite's
gonna be a piece of cake!
**[08:56] Rudo**
Marauders?
**[08:59] Rudo**
That's bad! We have to
get back and support them!
**[09:02] Enjin**
With us on our way back
from a No Man's Land, too.
**[09:06] Enjin**
It's like insult to injury.
**[09:07] Enjin**
Can't we catch a break already?!
**[09:11] Marauder A**
Look alive, Cleaners!
**[09:14] Marauder A**
If you don't want us putting an even bigger
hole in your base, here's what you do...
**[09:18] Marauder A**
Give us that Sphereite as a contribution!
**[09:22] Marauder A**
If you don't, we'll burn
your base to the ground!
**[09:28] Semiu**
*What a surprise.*
**[09:30] Semiu**
*Pests like you know words like "contribution"?*
**[09:34] Semiu**
*I'm not sure who baited you into this,*
**[09:37] Semiu**
* but it's refreshing to see you*
* attack in the open.*
**[09:41] Semiu**
Not that it would matter.
**[09:45] Marauder A**
We like to fight fair!
**[09:49] Marauder A**
*Yeah, right.*
**[09:51] Marauder A**
*We're just a distraction.*
**[09:53] Marauder A**
* We've got a few guys working*
* their way in right now!*
**[09:57] Marauder A**
Spare us the big talk, lady.
**[10:00] Marauder A**
If you don't want another hole in
your base, hand over the Sphereite!
**[10:03] Semiu**
*Oh, I'm not a woman.*
**[10:07] Semiu**
*Just kidding. See how easily baited you are?*
**[10:12] Marauder A**
You bitch! Show some respe—
**[10:14] Semiu**
*Besides, are you sure you put
a* first *hole in our base?*
**[10:19] Marauder A**
But that rocket...
**[10:22] Marauder A**
Huh?!
**[10:23] Marauder C**
H-Hey...
**[10:26] Marauder A**
Hey. What are you guys doing?
**[10:28] Marauder A**
I thought you were breaking in!
**[10:30] Marauder C**
We couldn't get into the building
no matter what we did!
**[10:35] Semiu**
*If you want to get in, you need permission...*
**[10:39] Semiu**
*From the invincible shut-in.*
**[10:45] Shut-in**
They're attacking us again?
**[10:48] Shut-in**
Terrifying...
**[10:53] Semiu**
I'm sorry to say, though...
**[10:55] Semiu**
You don't have that permission.
**[10:59] Semiu**
So I'll need to run an extermination.
**[11:02] Semiu**
Well? What will it be?
**[11:05] Semiu**
Give me your best shot.
**[11:09] Marauder A**
You asked for it, lady!
**[11:11] Marauder A**
Take this!
**[11:36] Marauder D**
You filthy Giver!
**[11:52] Marauder E**
You...
**[12:02] Marauder D**
S-So tough...
**[12:06] Semiu**
If you want to fight me, you'd better be
a little less predictable than that.
**[12:13] Enjin**
Hey, now.
**[12:15] Enjin**
You handled them yourself again?
**[12:18] Enjin**
You're too good at this.
**[12:19] Semiu**
They're just low-level punks.
**[12:21] Semiu**
I'd never live it down if I lost.
**[12:24] Semiu**
Now,
**[12:26] Semiu**
who could be spreading word
that we've got a Sphereite here?
**[12:32] Semiu**
I think I can imagine.
**[12:35] Enjin**
Agreed.
**[12:37] Enjin**
In fact, I'd wager...
**[12:40] Enjin**
they're about to start something.
**[12:49] Man**
*My name is...*
**[12:51] Man**
*Well, never you mind.*
**[12:53] Man**
* I'm just an old man*
* with a taste for excellence.*
**[12:57] Man**
* And at this excellent shop, Dan Dulse,*
* I soothe the exhaustion of my day.*
**[13:03] Man**
*Excellent food, excellent servers,*
**[13:07] Man**
*regulars with excellent hair.*
**[13:10] Man**
*A few new faces, too.*
**[13:13] Man**
*It's so calming to be in a place like this.*
**[13:20] Man**
*Or it would be, if they weren't here.*
**[13:26] Man**
*They're regulars here too.*
**[13:29] Man**
* Codependents called "Givers" who*
* live their lives tied to a single object.*
**[13:34] Man**
*Creeps me the hell out.*
**[13:37] Man**
* The guy with the tattoos*
* has a nasty look in his eye.*
**[13:40] Man**
* That well-bred young man*
* has a nasty look in his eye.*
**[13:42] Zanka**
Oh, that's Rudo's.
**[13:45] Riyo**
Hey, yeah.
**[13:45] Man**
* That cutie pie also has*
* a nasty look in her eye.*
**[13:48] Riyo**
Sorry, Rudo. I accidentally
drank your drink.
**[13:56] Man**
*I've never seen such a nasty look in the eye!*
**[13:59] Man**
*What's with that kid?*
**[14:01] Man**
*He's about to blow a fuse!*
**[14:03] Man**
* Is this what becomes of everyone*
* who fight trash beasts?!*
**[14:08] Man**
*It's terrifying!*
**[14:11] Man**
I'm leaving!
**[14:12] Staff**
Come again!
**[14:16] Rudo**
*Riyo drank my...*
**[14:18] Enjin**
Took you long enough, man. Number two?
**[14:22] Rudo**
What's with the constant
dinner get-togethers, anyway?
**[14:26] Rudo**
Our base just got attacked!
**[14:29] Enijn**
You don't get it.
**[14:30] Enijn**
It's important to take breaks.
**[14:33] Riyo**
Yeah! When a job's over,
we always grab a meal together.
**[14:38] Zanka**
Just shut up and eat.
**[14:40] Rudo**
But... shouldn't we be more alert?
**[14:44] Gris**
I get what you're saying, Rudo.
**[14:48] Gris**
But no matter how dire the situation,
**[14:52] Gris**
food and fellowship will always
spur us on for the next fight.
**[14:55] Gris**
This isn't the first time
we've been attacked, anyway.
**[14:59] Enjin**
There's a ton of people
in this world who want to beat down
**[15:02] Enjin**
anyone more well-known
or well-off than them.
**[15:05] Zanka**
They're a creepy bunch.
**[15:07] Zanka**
Better off dead.
**[15:08] Rudo**
W-Wait, does Semiu drive off
the marauders every time?
**[15:13] Enjin**
Yes!
**[15:15] Enjin**
You'd need some really out-there methods
or powers to get past Semiu.
**[15:21] Enjin**
And even if you did that,
she'd probably just be impressed.
**[15:25] Riyo**
Yeah, I bet she would!
**[15:27] Rudo**
If she's that strong,
why's she the base receptionist?
**[15:31] Enjin**
Semiu's glasses, EYES,
have the power of sight.
**[15:34] Enjin**
They can't be used to beat trash beasts.
**[15:38] Enjin**
And she says she always
wanted to work in an office.
**[15:41] Rudo**
*That sounds like the main reason.*
**[15:44] Rudo**
So just because someone's a Giver
doesn't mean they can beat trash beasts?
**[15:49] Riyo**
It depends on the Giver's personality
and how they treat their instrument.
**[15:54] Riyo**
Those who care about using their precious
thing to its fullest become attackers.
**[15:59] Riyo**
Those who want to keep
them intact and unscathed
**[16:02] Riyo**
are more likely to become defenders.
**[16:05] Rudo**
The worth you place on your object
makes that much of a difference?
**[16:10] Rudo**
Wow...
**[16:11] Rudo**
I want to see more of other kinds of Givers.
**[16:13] Riyo**
Oh? Oh? Are you even more intrigued?
**[16:16] Enjin**
Don't worry. The folks on the way have
a unique way with their instruments.
**[16:22] Rudo**
Folks on the way?
**[16:24] Guita**
Ta-dah!
**[16:26] Guita**
I'm here at last, y'all!
**[16:29] Guita**
Team Child...
**[16:31] Guita**
has arrived!
**[16:33] Bro**
Hey, there.
**[16:35] Bro**
Sorry we're late, all.
**[16:38] Enjin**
Heya.
**[16:51] Rudo**
Back off, asshole! I'm not sharing today!
**[16:55] Guita**
It's Rudo!
**[16:57] Guita**
Been a while!
**[17:00] Rudo**
Who're you?
**[17:03] Guita**
You don't remember me?!
**[17:06] Guita**
I was in the room when you
first came to Cleaner HQ!
**[17:11] Guita**
No way...
**[17:14] Bro**
Sorry, haven't made introductions.
**[17:17] Bro**
This here is Guita Hebby Fantasia.
**[17:21] Bro**
I believe you've already met Dear Santa.
**[17:26] Bro**
And I'm the leader of Child...
rather, their supervisor, Bro Santa.
**[17:32] Bro**
Child has other members,
but I hope you'll try to get along.
**[17:37] Guita**
Yeah! Let's get along!
**[17:40] Guita**
Hey, hey!
**[17:41] Guita**
Tell me what it's like topside!
**[17:44] Rudo**
Hey, back off!
**[17:46] Bro**
Guita, you shouldn't talk
about that outside the base.
**[17:50] Guita**
Huh? How come?
**[17:52] Enjin**
There's people sniffing around about it.
**[17:56] Enjin**
The pests from yesterday said
**[17:59] Enjin**
they got their info about Rudo
from "some strangers at the bar."
**[18:04] Enjin**
Said they just walked up and handed it over.
**[18:09] Enjin**
For free.
**[18:13] Enjin**
I'm betting they wanted to
get intel on Cleaner HQ's defenses
**[18:16] Enjin**
without taking on any personal risk.
**[18:19] Guita**
Hey, man! What's your favorite kaiju?!
**[18:22] Rudo**
Do you have any sense of personal space?!
**[18:24] Guita**
Rudo! C'mon, let's talk kaiju!
**[18:26] Rudo**
Knock it off! Back off!
**[18:28] Zanka**
Pretty sneaky approach.
**[18:30] Riyo**
This feeling... I'm betting
it's the Raiders again.
**[18:34] Enjin**
Could be.
**[18:36] Enjin**
I hear the current Raiders
are very persistent.
**[18:44] Rudo**
Darn it. They're all ridiculous.
**[18:47] Rudo**
I told them to be more alert...
**[18:50] Zodyl**
What's that? Is someone after you guys?
**[18:54] Rudo**
Huh? I dunno.
**[18:56] Rudo**
Bandits or something.
**[18:58] Zodyl**
Bandits?
**[18:59] Zodyl**
Are you talking about the Raiders?
**[19:01] Zodyl**
That's a scary bunch to have after you.
**[19:05] Zodyl**
I hear they're searching pretty hard
for something these days.
**[19:11] Zodyl**
Hey, you remember what it was?
**[19:13] Cthoni**
I don't know.
**[19:14] Zodyl**
Better be careful, kiddo.
**[19:16] Zodyl**
Since the Raiders got their new boss,
**[19:18] Zodyl**
they'll go to any lengths
to get what they're after.
**[19:22] Zodyl**
They've become quite
a persistent bunch, I hear.
**[19:26] Zodyl**
If you're not on your guard,
they'll snatch up everything you've got.
**[19:31] Zodyl**
Oh, right. I just remembered.
**[19:33] Zodyl**
They're looking for something like these.
**[19:48] Zodyl**
I'll give it to you for free...
**[19:51] Zodyl**
The information
that I'm the Raiders' leader.
**[19:57] Mymo**
*Hey, hey! Time for the weather report, yo!*
**[20:02] Mymo**
* Like I've been saying all week,*
* that big storm is on the way!*
**[20:07] Mymo**
*It's a trash storm!*
**[20:08] Zodyl**
It's important to always check
the weather report.
**[20:09] Mymo**
*Stay inside and wait for it to pass, c'mon!*
**[20:12] Mymo**
*It's a gale for the ages! A gale!*
**[20:12] Zodyl**
Even if it's a storm
for the ages, you can prepare.
**[20:14] Mymo**
*Take caution, caution, caution!*
**[20:44] Cthoni**
Got the Cleaners.
**[20:48] Gris**
Dammit! We missed them!
**[20:51] Staff**
What? Did they dine and dash?!
**[21:02] Enjin**
Dammit! Right in the middle of a meal?!
**[21:05] Guita**
That hurt!
**[21:05] Enjin**
We never even got dessert!
**[21:08] Enjin**
This pisses me off!
**[21:09] Enjin**
Didn't think the Raiders would come out
into the open like that...
**[21:12] Bro**
Where are we? Where did they send us?
**[21:15] Zanka**
We don't have the Supporters.
**[21:17] Riyo**
This is the power of that manhole Giver, right?
**[21:21] Riyo**
Handy little thing.
**[21:28] Enjin**
Ru—
**[22:06] Rudo**
What did you do to Amo?

**[00:08] Zodyl**
The information that I'm the Raiders' leader.

**[00:30] Mymo**

**[01:01] Cthoni**
Got the Cleaners.
**[01:06] Gris**
Dammit! We missed them!
**[01:08] Staff**
What? Did they dine and dash?!
**[01:28] Rudo**
Where is she?
**[01:31] Rudo**
Where is Amo?!
**[01:36] Enjin**
Hey, Raiders.
**[01:38] Enjin**
Sorry to put a crimp in your
latest "capture Rudo" plan...
**[01:41] Enjin**
We came along as a bonus.
**[01:42] Guita**
A bonus? We're just a bonus?!
**[01:45] Riyo**
Everyone loves free stuff!
**[01:46] Guita**
Th-They do? That's great, then!
**[01:49] Zanka**
This ain't the time for light banter.
**[01:51] Enjin**
So, what's this about?
**[01:54] Enjin**
What's the prize we're playing for?
**[02:02] Zodyl**
You were just worrying about
the Cleaners' lack of tension, Rudo.
**[02:07] Zodyl**
You were wrong.
**[02:09] Zodyl**
People on the Ground
are always on high alert.
**[02:13] Zodyl**
That's why they don't leave you alone.
**[02:15] Zodyl**
That's why they're here now.
**[02:19] Zodyl**
This was all expected.
**[02:45] Zanka**
Garbage?
**[02:47] Zanka**
It's a damn trashslide!
**[02:53] Zanka**
Can't... move...
**[03:01] Enjin**
Fight the current, and it'll bury you.
**[03:04] Enjin**
It's carrying you away
whether you like it or not.
**[03:06] Enjin**
Find something to grab onto!
**[03:10] Enjin**
Well, that's not good.
**[03:12] Enjin**
We've got branching paths.
**[03:17] Enjin**
Are you kidding me?
**[03:18] Enjin**
Hey, guys! Stay alive out there!
**[03:21] Zanka**
I'm gonna kill those Raider assholes!
**[03:42] Rudo**
You bastard.
**[03:44] Rudo**
Where did you—
**[03:45] Zodyl**
Where did I send them?
**[03:47] Zodyl**
That's irrelevant.
**[03:49] Zodyl**
They chose to tag along.
**[03:51] Zodyl**
Still, I dislike waste.
**[04:05] Jabber**
Rudo, old buddy...
**[04:08] Jabber**
We're gonna go play with the "bonus."
**[04:12] Jabber**
You play nice with the boss
while we're gone, okay?!
**[04:32] Zodyl**
Amo.
**[04:37] Zodyl**
Amo?
**[04:39] Zodyl**
What are you talking about?
**[04:42] Zodyl**
Is it the reason for your rage?
**[04:53] Zodyl**
I came here only to share that rage.
**[05:00] Zodyl**
My name
**[05:02] Zodyl**
is Zodyl Typhon.
**[05:06] Zodyl**
Want to take the Sphere down with me?
**[06:48] Rudo**
Take... the Sphere down?
**[07:08] Zodyl**
We just had the same vision, didn't we?
**[07:14] Zodyl**
Ah, don't get the wrong idea.
**[07:17] Zodyl**
I've never seen the Sphere
and have no way to learn about it.
**[07:22] Zodyl**
It's not about what we're bringing down.
**[07:25] Zodyl**
It's about what will happen to our target.
**[07:27] Zodyl**
Rudo, what you were picturing just now...
**[07:32] Zodyl**
was not those you care about,
**[07:35] Zodyl**
but what would happen
to the target of your rage.
**[07:45] Rudo**
D-Don't change the subject!
**[07:48] Rudo**
I asked you a damn question!
**[07:50] Rudo**
What happened to the owner of those boots
and the other Cleaners?!
**[07:57] Zodyl**
You're the one changing the subject, Rudo.
**[08:01] Zodyl**
I answered you in my own way.
**[08:03] Zodyl**
Now it's your turn.
**[08:05] Zodyl**
You answer, then it's my turn.
**[08:08] Zodyl**
That's how conversation works.
**[08:12] Zodyl**
I dislike waste.
**[08:15] Zodyl**
Don't make me waste words.
**[08:18] Zodyl**
Listen.
**[08:21] Rudo**
*Dammit.*
**[08:22] Rudo**
*What's this guy's problem?*
**[08:24] Rudo**
*Why's he so hard to deal with?*
**[08:28] Rudo**
* And it's hard in a way that's different*
* than Amo was at the start.*
**[08:32] Rudo**
*With Amo, you couldn't talk to her at all.*
**[08:36] Rudo**
*With this guy...*
**[08:41] Rudo**
* It's like he's got me captive*
* with his words!*
**[08:45] Rudo**
*The trash I've got on me...*
**[08:48] Rudo**
*I haven't restocked since the desert.*
**[08:51] Rudo**
*But if it comes to it, I'll...!*
**[08:58] Zodyl**
Are you that worried about
the Cleaners and "Amo"?
**[09:04] Zodyl**
Tell me.
**[09:06] Zodyl**
What is your reason for joining the Cleaners?
**[09:11] Rudo**
To get back to the Sphere.
**[09:13] Rudo**
I joined the Cleaners to find a way back.
**[09:19] Zodyl**
You really think you'll get back that way?
**[09:25] Zodyl**
"Go to the Sphere" is not part
of the Cleaners' duties.
**[09:29] Zodyl**
They're only helping you
when it aligns with those duties.
**[09:37] Zodyl**
Don't tell me...
**[09:40] Zodyl**
You can't be satisfied with things
as they are now, can you?
**[09:45] Zodyl**
You want more than this facsimile
of friendship, don't you?
**[09:56] Riyo**
Got some damn trash in my mouth.
**[10:05] Riyo**
It's in my clothes too. Gross.
**[10:09] Riyo**
Where did the others get off to, anyway?
**[10:12] Riyo**
And what is this place?
**[10:15] Riyo**
Hey, anyone here?
**[10:18] Riyo**
Hey!
**[10:21] Noerde**
Listen to you, yowling and mewling...
**[10:25] Noerde**
Cringing in fear like a little lost kitten.
**[10:34] Noerde**
Nothing charming about that.
**[10:38] Riyo**
Going right to the diss, huh?
**[10:41] Riyo**
So, what's this about?
**[10:43] Riyo**
You didn't drag us all out to remote arenas
to fight us one-on-one, did you?
**[10:51] Riyo**
You Raider guys are more straight-up
than I gave you credit for.
**[10:57] Noerde**
Yes, that's right. We're quite earnest.
**[11:01] Noerde**
So if we don't earnestly
carry out this mission...
**[11:05] Jabber**
...we'll end up with a real tongue-lashing.
**[11:13] Zanka**
Jabber...
**[11:17] Jabber**
Been a while, Mr. Bad Attitude.
**[11:23] Jabber**
I'm on cloud nine here...
**[11:26] Jabber**
This time, I get to take a beating from *you*.
***SIGN*** Episode 15
***SIGN*** Hey, For Real
**[11:41] Zanka**
*The second Jabber showed up,*
**[11:45] Zanka**
* I dropped any questions I had*
* about what they were planning.*
**[11:54] Zanka**
* There was just one thought*
* that dominated my mind—*
**[12:10] Zanka**
*"Kill or be killed!"*
**[12:23] Jabber**
Pippity-pop! Glurbity-glurb!
**[12:28] Jabber**
What's that sound?
**[12:30] Jabber**
What's that soundy-sindy-sound?!
**[12:35] Jabber**
Look at all the bubbly stuff
here on this stage.
**[12:40] Jabber**
I dunno what it's made of,
but let's give it a touch.
**[12:47] Jabber**
It's freakin' hot!
**[12:51] Jabber**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[13:04] Jabber**
I gotcha.
**[13:08] Zanka**
*His claws...*
**[13:10] Zanka**
*They look like that fluid?!*
**[13:13] Jabber**
The right claw's got a neurotoxin.
**[13:15] Jabber**
That one's locked in.
**[13:18] Jabber**
But I get bored super easy...
**[13:21] Jabber**
So when I test out new toxins,
they get reflected...
**[13:27] Jabber**
here in my left claw.
**[13:32] Jabber**
C'mon, Mr. Bad Attitude...
**[13:36] Jabber**
How long can you dodge it?!
**[14:05] Guita**
I'm all by my lonesome?!
**[14:25] Guita**
Roachie!
**[14:29] Riyo**
Roachie?!
**[14:43] Riyo**
I'm usually okay with bugs, y'know?
**[14:46] Riyo**
Cockroaches just freak me out a little.
**[14:53] Noerde**
What?
**[14:54] Noerde**
Are you kidding me?
**[14:56] Noerde**
You live on the Ground,
you work with the Cleaners,
**[14:59] Noerde**
and a *roach* scares you?!
**[15:03] Noerde**
How soft are you Cleaners?
**[15:06] Noerde**
I'm so disappointed.
**[15:07] Riyo**
Damn, strong reaction
over one little cockroach.
**[15:11] Riyo**
But I'm not even the worst case.
**[15:18] Riyo**
There's one member of the Cleaners, see...
**[15:21] Riyo**
who ran around screaming
when someone flung poop at him.
**[15:25] Jabber**
What, didn't dodge it?
**[15:28] Zanka**
It's not like getting hit by this crap
is gonna take me outta the fight.
**[15:33] Zanka**
And it's way better than
getting shit on my clothes!
**[15:38] Zanka**
If you wanna get high
on your poisons that bad...
**[15:40] Zanka**
here's a shitload of it for you!
**[15:46] Zanka**
Overturning Earth!
**[15:57] Zanka**
I'm not in the mood for this shit.
**[16:02] Enjin**
Hey, hey, hey.
**[16:04] Enjin**
Hey, c'mon.
**[16:06] Enjin**
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
**[16:09] Enjin**
Hey.
**[16:12] Enjin**
Hey, now. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
**[16:17] Enjin**
Say something already.
I'm getting lonely over here.
**[16:22] Enjin**
Just tell me what's on your mind.
**[16:26] Enjin**
Hey, c'mon.
**[16:27] Enjin**
You're after Rudo,
and we're in the way, right?
**[16:31] Enjin**
I'm all alone here,
so you could all just gang up on me.
**[16:34] Enjin**
So why's it just you by yourself?
**[16:37] Enjin**
Hey, hey...
**[16:39] Enjin**
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
**[16:42] Fu**
*This guy's pretty awesome.*
**[16:48] Bro**
What is this place?
**[16:50] Bro**
I see power poles, but we're not outside.
**[16:54] Bro**
A cave?
**[16:56] Bro**
Underground?
**[16:58] Bundus**
Yes, we're underground.
**[17:02] Bundus**
Feel free to confirm it with your chokers.
**[17:06] Riyo**
Hey, you're right. Can't get through.
**[17:09] Riyo**
Chokers are handy, but it sucks
we can't use them underground.
**[17:14] Riyo**
Guess I can't count on reinforcements, huh?
**[17:19] Noerde**
Zodyl's first order:
**[17:26] Noerde**
"If anyone other than Rudo comes along,
**[17:29] Noerde**
defeat as many as possible on your own."
**[17:33] Noerde**
I am Noerde Hew Amozo.
**[17:36] Noerde**
I'm going to offer you up, little kitten.
**[17:41] Riyo**
Could you please not call me "kitten"?
**[17:43] Riyo**
Riyo's fine.
**[17:47] Riyo**
Still, fighting people's not really my thing...
**[17:51] Noerde**
Too bad. Get over it.
**[17:53] Noerde**
If you don't get serious,
it'll be too late for your friends.
**[18:03] Riyo**
Then I'd better pick up the pace.
**[18:17] Noerde**
I see.
**[18:19] Noerde**
A blunt force attack into a slice.
**[18:22] Noerde**
Even if I dodge one,
I can't let my guard down.
**[18:25] Riyo**
Relax. I'd rather not get blood on my scissors,
**[18:30] Riyo**
so I'm gonna try pretty hard
not to nick the skin.
**[18:34] Riyo**
Can't make the same guarantee
for that silky hair of yours, though.
**[18:39] Riyo**
If that comb is your vital instrument,
**[18:41] Riyo**
I figure you fight with your hair, right?
**[18:44] Riyo**
Scissors and hair... bad matchup for you,
**[18:49] Riyo**
but I guess that's how it goes.
**[18:51] Riyo**
Snippy time.
**[19:16] Zanka**
I know you're not dead, 'kay?
**[19:21] Zanka**
Quit hidin' and show yourself!
**[19:31] Zanka**
Don't tell me I beat the bastard.
**[19:34] Zanka**
No way. I've seen him
survive way worse, so...
**[19:49] Jabber**
Nice work, Jabber, old pal!
**[19:54] Jabber**
You can do this! He's made it possible!
**[20:01] Jabber**
It's been so long...
like forever-and-ever-ago long...
**[20:10] Jabber**
since someone could force the real me out!
**[20:14] Zanka**
Are you kiddin' me?
**[20:18] Zanka**
You sayin'... everything before now...
**[20:22] Zanka**
wasn't him going all-out?
**[20:25] Jabber**
Zanka, my friend...
**[20:27] Jabber**
You're free to go all-out too.
**[20:31] Jabber**
Hey, c'mon...
**[20:32] Jabber**
You've got another level, right?
**[20:35] Jabber**
There's no way swinging that stick around
is all you do, right?!
**[20:40] Jabber**
Hey, hey...
**[20:42] Jabber**
Let's *really* go for real!
**[20:48] Riyo**
*Huh?*
**[20:50] Riyo**
*I can't... move?*
**[21:00] Riyo**
Hurts.
**[21:03] Riyo**
Wait, what?
Touching her hair hurt like hell...
**[21:11] Riyo**
But the pain feels like...
**[21:15] Riyo**
Your hair.
**[21:17] Riyo**
It isn't silky.
**[21:20] Riyo**
Can it be...
**[21:21] Noerde**
A plastic comb run through hair
frequently creates static electricity.
**[21:28] Noerde**
Dry air plays a part, but it's a pain
that everyone with long hair knows.
**[21:34] Noerde**
Something we all have to deal with.
**[21:36] Noerde**
Yet my vital instrument is made of plastic.
**[21:41] Noerde**
I live with the burden of static electricity.
**[21:46] Noerde**
So my hair isn't silky...
**[21:51] Noerde**
It's crackly.
**[21:57] Noerde**
Scissors and electrically charged hair...
**[22:02] Noerde**
Bad matchup for you,
**[22:06] Noerde**
but I guess that's how it goes.

**[00:36] Cthoni**
After I look at them, I'll take a break.
**[00:42] Cthoni**
Why in the world would he tell them that?
**[00:55] Bro**
Hey, Dear.
**[00:56] Bro**
You can't go around glaring like that,
even at your enemies.
**[00:59] Bro**
You'll end up with wrinkles
when you grow up.
**[01:03] Bro**
I know that expression.
**[01:04] Bro**
"How'd things end up like this
when we just went out to eat," right?
**[01:11] Bro**
Think of it as a last-minute job, okay?
**[01:13] Bro**
Besides, you're the one
who decided to jump into that hole.
**[01:17] Bro**
You've been worried about Rudo, right?
**[01:20] Bro**
Isn't that's why you tagged along?
**[01:26] Bro**
Hey, sorry, sorry!
Forgot you were sensitive about that...
**[01:32] Bundus**
Cute dynamic you've got there.
**[01:34] Bundus**
Is that there your kid?
**[01:36] Bro**
Pretty much. Not by blood, of course.
**[01:40] Bro**
I'm hoping we can get out of here ASAP.
**[01:44] Bro**
Dear'll start to get sleepy
if we're not back before nightfall.
**[01:49] Bundus**
I see. So Dear's your name, eh?
**[01:53] Bundus**
Mind if I call you "Dear little boy"?
**[02:00] Bundus**
Guess that's a no? All right.
**[02:02] Bundus**
He's at the age when
a little brattiness is still cute.
**[02:06] Bundus**
How old is he?
**[02:07] Bro**
He turned ten last month.
**[02:10] Bundus**
Hey, that's great. What day?
**[02:13] Bro**
The 17th.
**[02:14] Bro**
September 17th.
**[02:16] Bundus**
Hey, close one! Mine's September 19th.
**[02:20] Bro**
So you just got older, huh?
**[02:23] Bundus**
Don't say it that way.
You're making me feel ancient.
**[02:31] Bro**
Listen to us.
We sound like old men chatting.
**[02:35] Bro**
Hey, don't laugh. It just makes me sad.
**[02:39] Bro**
So, what's your story?
**[02:41] Bro**
You don't seem particularly hostile.
**[02:44] Bro**
Are you even here to fight us?
**[02:47] Bundus**
Bundus.
**[02:49] Bundus**
That's my name. You can call me that.
**[02:53] Bro**
I'm Bro.
**[02:55] Bro**
*This is hard to navigate.*
**[02:58] Bundus**
As for my story...
**[03:00] Bundus**
It's true that I'm not
feeling hostile right now.
**[03:03] Bundus**
I'm here on Zodyl's orders, but there's
other things I'm after, personally.
**[03:09] Bro**
So if you can get those things,
we can skip the fight?
**[03:14] Bundus**
Well...
**[03:16] Bundus**
Beating you two would get me one of them.
**[03:41] Bundus**
What I want...
**[03:43] Bundus**
is information.
**[03:52] Bundus**
If you give me the info I want,
**[03:55] Bundus**
I'll tell you what happens if you lose to us.
**[04:04] Bundus**
So tell me.
**[04:06] Bundus**
The boss of the Cleaners...
**[04:09] Bundus**
Arkha Corvus...
**[04:11] Bundus**
Who is he?
**[05:50] Semiu**
Boss.
**[05:53] Corvus**
You know I don't like that word.
**[05:59] Semiu**
Never mind that! It's an emergency!
**[06:02] Semiu**
Four members of Akuta, including Rudo,
and three members of Child
**[06:05] Semiu**
were taken away by the Raiders
and are currently missing!
**[06:08] Semiu**
Gris told us.
**[06:09] Semiu**
It seems the one with warp powers
from the report stole them.
**[06:13] Semiu**
Gris wants us to allocate
personnel to look for them.
**[06:18] Semiu**
Please, Boss!
Why won't you just wear your choker?
**[06:21] Semiu**
It'd be so much easier if we
could get in touch with you quickly!
**[06:31] Corvus**
Very well.
**[06:33] Corvus**
Semiu, round up anyone who's free.
**[06:35] Corvus**
I'll figure out where they are.
**[06:39] Corvus**
I happen to know a great information broker.
**[06:59] Bro**
You want to know about our boss?
**[07:02] Bro**
Bundus. What are you getting at here?
**[07:05] Bundus**
Just what it sounds like.
**[07:07] Bundus**
If it's too big a question,
I can break it down for you.
**[07:10] Bro**
Hang on.
**[07:11] Bro**
You're trying to get important
info about the Cleaners
**[07:15] Bro**
by asking something unassuming, right?
**[07:17] Bro**
I won't tell you anything that
could put us at a disadvantage.
**[07:21] Bundus**
Don't get the wrong idea, now.
**[07:23] Bundus**
I'm a strict individualist.
**[07:26] Bundus**
My questions stem purely from my
own curiosity and inquisitive nature.
**[07:33] Bundus**
Nothing you tell me will get back
to the Raiders at large.
**[07:39] Bundus**
It's a simple exchange of information
between you two and me.
**[07:43] Bundus**
You can choose not to say anything
if you don't believe me,
**[07:45] Bundus**
but until you answer,
I'll be staying where I am,
**[07:48] Bundus**
and you'll be trapped here too...
**[07:51] Bundus**
until bedtime comes around.
**[08:00] Bro**
All right.
**[08:02] Bro**
But I'll only give the answers I want.
**[08:07] Bundus**
In that case...
**[08:08] Bundus**
What is Corvus's favorite food?!
**[08:17] Bro**
F-Favorite...
**[08:22] Bro**
S-Sweet stuff, I guess.
**[08:31] Bundus**
How old is he?!
**[08:34] Bro**
No one's ever... mentioned it.
**[08:36] Bundus**
What does he do for fun when he goes out?!
**[08:39] Bro**
I-I've never seen...
**[08:41] Bundus**
How long has he been with the Cleaners?!
**[08:44] Bro**
I-I don't know!
**[08:46] Bundus**
Have you ever seen him
use his vital instrument?
**[08:48] Bro**
N-No!
**[08:50] Bro**
*Th-This is bad!*
**[08:52] Bro**
* I thought I could skip potentially*
* damaging questions and wrap it up quickly,*
**[08:57] Bro**
* but everything he's asking is totally*
* mundane stuff, so it's just getting weird!*
**[09:05] Bro**
*Dear's starting to get restless!*
**[09:09] Bro**
* I've got to do something,*
* or he'll grow up with wrinkles!*
**[09:17] Bro**
*So hard to navigate!*
**[09:21] Bro**
I'm always between a rock and a hard place.
**[09:25] Bundus**
Fine, I get it.
**[09:28] Bundus**
I see what you're trying to do.
**[09:30] Bro**
Listen, man, I really don't know this stuff.
**[09:36] Bundus**
I guess it's my turn now.
**[09:39] Bundus**
If your side loses, we're going to
serve you up to a trash beast.
**[09:45] Bundus**
I don't know if you've seen this or not,
**[09:48] Bundus**
but we Raiders have managed to
successfully cultivate a few trash beasts.
**[10:07] Bro**
Dear. Are you hearing what I'm hearing?
**[10:11] Bro**
Did he just give us incredible info
for basically nothing?
**[10:17] Bundus**
Bro.
**[10:19] Bundus**
The value of the information you gave me
was indeed worthy of this.
**[10:25] Bundus**
Despite being a mysterious figure,
Corvus loves sweets.
**[10:30] Bundus**
All of a sudden, he feels human to me.
**[10:33] Bundus**
I understand him very well now.
**[10:36] Bundus**
He hides his true self well,
**[10:40] Bundus**
even from his own comrades!
**[10:43] Jabber**
C'mon. No need to hide it anymore.
**[10:48] Jabber**
You're just like me, right?
**[10:53] Jabber**
I've spent too much time going at it
with people way stronger than me.
**[10:58] Jabber**
Now average folks can't stomp me
unless I hold myself back.
**[11:04] Jabber**
When I'm going all-out fighting
and fighting and fighting and fighting
**[11:10] Jabber**
but still can't win...
that's when I feel most alive.
**[11:16] Jabber**
And so... I can get my hopes up now, right?
**[11:21] Jabber**
You're someone besides the boss
who can beat my ass in, right?
**[11:31] Jabber**
Right?!
**[11:40] Jabber**
Zanka, my friend!
**[11:42] Jabber**
No need to hide it anymore!
**[11:44] Jabber**
You can let it all hang out!
**[11:47] Jabber**
Doesn't matter who's a Cleaner
and who's a Raider...
**[11:51] Jabber**
Just show me...
**[11:52] Jabber**
Show me!
**[11:54] Jabber**
Show me the brutality you've been hiding!
**[12:08] Zanka**
*I'm all out of ideas.*
**[12:19] Zodyl**
* You can tell from the trash*
* that falls from it*
**[12:23] Zodyl**
*that the Sphere is a place of abundance.*
**[12:37] Zodyl**
Living creatures are mysterious things.
**[12:41] Zodyl**
They change their appearance
to adapt to their environment.
**[12:47] Zodyl**
Sometimes, the fallen trash brings
**[12:50] Zodyl**
remains of species never seen on the Ground.
**[12:55] Zodyl**
Humans are the same.
**[12:57] Zodyl**
The environments we live in will
result in different kinds of humanity.
**[13:02] Zodyl**
I'm a groundling. You're a Sphereite.
**[13:06] Zodyl**
Why, then...
**[13:09] Zodyl**
Why do we have the same look in our eyes?
**[13:20] Zodyl**
Jabber told me that you and I smell the same.
**[13:26] Zodyl**
Whatever else he is, he's perceptive.
**[13:29] Zodyl**
That's what made me so interested.
**[13:33] Zodyl**
It made me want to meet you for myself.
**[13:37] Rudo**
Meet me, huh?
**[13:40] Rudo**
Don't be stupid.
**[13:42] Rudo**
If you wanted me in on some weird,
half-baked plan to take down the Sphere,
**[13:48] Rudo**
you could have come and
talked to me like a normal person!
**[13:52] Rudo**
B-Besides, I don't need
anyone talking me into it.
**[13:57] Rudo**
I'm trying to get to the Sphere to punch
those assholes because it's what *I* want!
**[14:03] Rudo**
Don't pretend like we're the same
and drag the other Cleaners into it!
**[14:13] Zodyl**
I wonder. What is "normal"?
**[14:17] Zodyl**
Rudo, did you know?
**[14:21] Zodyl**
There are groundlings who see
the trash falling from the Sphere
**[14:25] Zodyl**
and worship it as "blessings from heaven."
**[14:31] Zodyl**
Even rotting food waste,
**[14:34] Zodyl**
even scrap lumber that
crushes their flesh and bone...
**[14:38] Zodyl**
There are those who see it as a blessing
**[14:41] Zodyl**
and demand others do the same.
**[14:47] Zodyl**
It may seem strange to outsiders,
**[14:50] Zodyl**
but when it's all you know, it seems normal.
**[14:52] Zodyl**
In time, it becomes "common sense,"
**[14:54] Zodyl**
and to fight against it becomes heresy.
**[15:04] Zodyl**
"Common sense" can be beneficial.
**[15:07] Zodyl**
But a "common sense" designed by the corrupt
**[15:10] Zodyl**
is a deadly poison to those
who unknowingly imbibe it.
**[15:14] Zodyl**
You'll never know who has that poison
in their system unless it comes up.
**[15:20] Zodyl**
But there's a way to snap them
instantly out of their toxic delusion.
**[15:27] Zodyl**
A shock to the system.
**[15:46] Zodyl**
These shocks are very useful.
**[15:49] Zodyl**
They draw someone's fundamental
nature to the surface.
**[15:53] Zodyl**
You've had that happen, haven't you?
**[15:56] Zodyl**
With the shock Jabber dealt you.
**[16:04] Zodyl**
Oh, which means...
**[16:07] Zodyl**
The one Jabber is fighting right now
**[16:09] Zodyl**
might also have something
to be drawn out from within.
**[16:13] Zodyl**
Or perhaps the shock will prove too intense...
**[16:22] Zodyl**
and he'll be crushed.
**[16:35] Zanka**
*Here we go.*
**[16:37] Zanka**
*Here's another one.*
**[16:40] Zanka**
*One of those "natural talents."*
**[16:44] Zanka**
*No way a mediocrity like me can beat him.*
**[16:47] Zanka**
*"I wasn't going all-out," my ass.*
**[16:49] Zanka**
*"I was holding myself back," my ass.*
**[16:53] Zanka**
* I've seen plenty of people who said*
* that crap 'cause they wanna look cool,*
**[16:57] Zanka**
* but you can spot the real ones*
* by how clear-eyed they are.*
**[17:03] Zanka**
*Man. It's the same shit anywhere you go.*
**[17:07] Zanka**
*"A mediocrity can't beat a natural talent."*
**[17:14] Zanka**
* But that's what makes*
* it so damn worth doing!*

I knew you had more hidden away!

Even a mediocrity like me
can keep up with you!
**[21:13] Zanka**
Looks like you hit my left claw!
**[21:17] Zanka**
When I'm in all-out mode, my left claws
hold three of my most recent toxins.
**[21:24] Zanka**
There's the numbing toxin,
**[21:26] Zanka**
a toxin for having a good old time,
**[21:29] Zanka**
and the gloopy-goo toxin from just now.
**[21:41] Zanka**
What, would you still rather be hit with shit?

Virtuous.

Generation to generation, the proud
bloodline of the Nijiku Clan has persevered.
**[00:53] Zanka's Father**
Indeed, your older brother and sister
followed in my footsteps to join the Hell Guard
**[00:59] Zanka's Father**
and shoulder the burden
of rule over the Ground.
**[01:03] Zanka's Father**
Do you understand what I'm telling you...
**[01:06] Zanka's Father**
Zanka?
**[01:12] Zanka**
Yes, sir.
**[01:29] Teacher A**
Threats we face here on the Ground include
**[01:33] Teacher A**
trash beasts, garbage rain, and diseases
spread from hazardous material.
**[01:40] Teacher A**
But there is something
you must never forget—
**[01:44] Teacher A**
The greatest threat of all is your fellow man!
**[01:48] Teacher A**
The Hell Guard is a crucial institution
for keeping humanity in line.
**[01:52] Teacher A**
What await you here at the
Central Hell Guard Academy
**[01:57] Teacher A**
are rigorous trials and unsparing rivals.
**[02:00] Teacher A**
To achieve the strength the Hell Guards need,
you must learn through competition!
**[02:05] Trainee A**
There he goes with the same ol' lecture.
**[02:09] Trainee B**
Can't believe it's new trainee time already.
**[02:12] Trainee A**
Rumor says this batch's
got someone real impressive.
**[02:16] Trainee B**
Male or female?
**[02:18] Trainee A**
Female.
**[02:19] Trainee B**
Wow! Wonder what she's like!
**[02:24] Trainee B**
Zanka really carries himself
like he's a cut above, huh?
**[02:29] Trainee A**
His dad's one of the town big-shots.
We can't compare.
**[02:33] Trainee B**
Noble blood, huh?
**[02:35] Trainee B**
The Nijiku Clan's a house of elites
who all get into the Hell Guard.
**[02:39] Trainee B**
But Zanka holds strong under the pressure.
He always gets the best marks in class.
**[02:48] Trainee B**
Bet the chicks all love him, too.
**[02:51] Trainee A**
Yeah, he's graduatin' top of the class
to take the Golden Throne for sure.
**[02:56] Trainee B**
Yeah, figures.
**[02:58] Trainee B**
We're mediocrities.
Can't beat a natural talent.
**[03:07] Zanka**
*You're damn right about that!*
**[03:10] Zanka**
* I wouldn't be caught dead bein'*
* compared to the bozos around here!*
**[03:16] Zanka**
* You know how hard I'm always*
* workin' behind the scenes?!*
**[03:26] Zanka**
*Just you wait an' see.*
**[03:28] Zanka**
* I'll take top of the class*
* without breakin' a sweat.*
**[03:35] Teacher B**
Rise.
**[03:40] Teacher B**
Sit.
**[03:44] Teacher B**
We've been seeing a rise
in Giver crimes these days.
**[03:48] Teacher B**
That means we need a strong Hell Guard
that can stand up to Givers.
**[03:53] Teacher B**
You've all undergone hard training
in your three years here.
**[03:58] Teacher B**
We're eager for any new talent we can get.
**[04:02] Teacher B**
Therefore...
**[04:07] Teacher B**
As a special case, this year,
**[04:09] Teacher B**
we've decided to accept a particularly
promising student into this class.
**[04:14] Teacher B**
She grew up in the slums,
but her abilities are undeniable.
**[04:19] Zanka**
*I couldn't stay in the dark forever.*
**[04:23] Zanka**
*In the face of the "real deal"...*
**[04:26] Zanka**
* I'd learn what my weakness*
* and real strength really were.*
**[06:03] Zanka**
* The Academy's "most exalted seat"*
* was a chair called the Golden Throne.*
**[06:11] Zanka**
*The only person permitted to sit there*
**[06:14] Zanka**
*was the best student of that year.*

Magnificent!

I didn't expect you to beat every student

**[06:58] Teacher B**
You really do have what it takes.
**[07:01] Teacher B**
You could even take the Golden Throne, Hyo.
**[07:16] Trainee A**
What's her problem?

She's sloppy as hell. No fundamentals.
**[07:32] Trainee F**
She won't get far in the Hell Guard like that!
**[07:35] Trainee D**
The only reason she beat me is 'cause
her crappy style threw my rhythm off.
**[07:39] Trainee E**
Once I get used to her style,
I could beat that beanpole in a second.
**[07:45] Trainee B**
Yeah, I'm off my game today too.
**[07:49] Trainee A**
But she also beat Zanka.
**[07:55] Trainee A**
Zanka?
**[08:00] Zanka**
Heck, she's a tough one!
**[08:03] Zanka**
I just couldn't beat her.
**[08:05] Zanka**
Nice to see a style
I ain't never seen before.
**[08:09] Zanka**
Guess I got a long way to go.
Back to trainin', huh?
**[09:32] Zanka**
Damn it!
**[09:40] Zanka**
I just ain't put in enough effort yet.
**[09:45] Zanka**
I'm number one here.
**[09:47] Zanka**
I ain't lost yet!
**[09:50] Hyo**
Your nose.
**[09:53] Hyo**
It's bleeding.
**[09:56] Zanka**
*She heard that?*
**[10:01] Zanka**
Heck, didn't know you were here.
**[10:03] Zanka**
Thought you'd gone back to the classroom.
**[10:06] Hyo**
No. I was looking for a place to get water.
**[10:13] Zanka**
*Gotta calm down.*
**[10:16] Zanka**
Gotta say, you're pretty great.
**[10:19] Zanka**
Just got here, and you're
a Golden Throne candidate already.
**[10:24] Hyo**
What good does sitting
on the Golden Throne do?
**[10:30] Zanka**
Well... it's somethin' a bunch
of big names have earned.
**[10:34] Zanka**
Hell Guard legends, higher-ups at Central...
**[10:36] Zanka**
all kinds of famous folks
have sat in that seat.
**[10:40] Zanka**
It's somethin' everyone wants.
**[10:43] Zanka**
Though I hear my big sister never got to.
**[10:47] Hyo**
I don't understand.
**[10:49] Hyo**
What does *sitting in the seat* get you?
**[10:53] Hyo**
Do you just want people
to find you impressive?
**[10:57] Hyo**
What good does that do?
**[11:20] Zanka**
* When you've got the "real deal" around,*
* you see the fakes start to change.*
**[11:26] Zanka**
*In some damn transparent ways, too.*
**[11:29] Trainee F**
You cut your hair.
**[11:31] Trainee E**
No biggie. I wanted a change.
**[11:33] Zanka**
*Some of the fakes try to imitate them.*
**[11:35] Trainee C**
Hey, how'd you do that move?
**[11:38] Trainee C**
I won't tell nobody. You mind?
**[11:38] Zanka**
*Some of the fakes try to steal from them.*
**[11:42] Trainee A**
Must be nice to be a natural talent.
**[11:43] Zanka**
*Some of the fakes just disparage them.*
**[11:46] Trainee B**
Yeah, it'd be way easier.
**[11:47] Zanka**
*They're disgusting.*
**[11:47] Trainee A**
Wish I'd been born that way.
**[11:50] Zanka**
*But...*
**[11:52] Teacher B**
We'll be having a special class today.
**[11:55] Teacher B**
We've gathered together a number of weapons.
**[11:58] Teacher B**
Follow your intuition and
choose one that speaks to you.
**[12:02] Teacher B**
A Hell Guard must be able to
use a variety of weapons,
**[12:06] Teacher B**
but picking out a weapon that's
high-quality and suits your strengths
**[12:10] Teacher B**
is an indispensable skill as well.
**[12:12] Teacher B**
Let's see how sharp your eyes are.
**[12:16] Zanka**
*The most disgusting one of all*
**[12:20] Zanka**
* was the one who thought*
* he was any better than the fakes—*
**[12:25] Zanka**
*Me.*
**[12:34] Enjin**
Wow, so that academy even has
classes on weapons selection and stuff?
**[12:42] Enjin**
And that's the weapon you chose?
**[12:47] Enjin**
But then...
**[12:49] Enjin**
What are you doing down there?
**[12:58] Enjin**
Hang on.
**[12:59] Enjin**
Didn't you say the class was three days ago?
**[13:03] Enjin**
Does that mean...
**[13:05] Enjin**
You've been in that makeshift well
without food or water all that time?!
**[13:09] Enjin**
You'd be dead right now if we hadn't passed by!
**[13:14] Zanka**
I saw a hole, so I felt
obliged to crawl into it.
**[13:18] Zanka**
I can't get out now.
**[13:22] Enjin**
I hear you.
**[13:24] Enjin**
Guess we'll just sit here and enjoy
some of your local leaf-shaped manju.
**[13:39] Zanka**
The others chose the weapons
they thought looked strongest.
**[13:46] Zanka**
I figured Hyo would do the same.
**[13:50] Zanka**
So I thought I'd go against the grain.
**[13:54] Zanka**
I picked up a worn-out piece of crap
that didn't even look like a weapon.
**[13:59] Zanka**
You hear about it all the time, right?
**[14:01] Zanka**
"The most awesome weapon
is the one that looks like junk."
**[14:06] Enjin**
So it wasn't an awesome weapon?
**[14:12] Zanka**
It wasn't even a weapon.
**[14:14] Zanka**
The school screwed up settin' up the table,
**[14:17] Zanka**
and some random stick got
mixed up with the others.
**[14:23] Zanka**
Never thought I'd be the one
people were lookin' at that way.
**[14:28] Zanka**
Then came the moment
everyone was waitin' for,
**[14:31] Zanka**
when the "real deal" chose a weapon...
**[14:36] Zanka**
It was this ordinary, unremarkable sword.
**[14:54] Zanka**
Man, I'm shit!
**[14:56] Zanka**
I'm the shittiest piece of shit
in the shit heap!
**[15:01] Zanka**
I'm pure shit!
**[15:03] Zanka**
I was the biggest scuzz ball all along,
wantin' people to think I was a natural...
**[15:07] Zanka**
Now I know.
**[15:09] Zanka**
A mediocrity can never become a natural talent!
**[15:15] Zanka**
Drop dead.
**[15:17] Zanka**
I just wanna drop dead.
**[15:20] Zanka**
I'm as big a poser as this stupid stick.
**[15:25] Zanka**
Just lame as hell.
**[15:29] Enjin**
Huh?
**[15:31] Enjin**
Can't a mediocrity still get better
than natural talents?
**[15:40] Enjin**
Not that I know what makes
someone a natural talent,
**[15:45] Enjin**
but if that's not what you are,
who says you need to be?
**[15:50] Enjin**
Besides, whatever you say,
you want to keep at it, don't you?
**[15:56] Enjin**
You're still holding on to that
"stupid stick," aren't you?
**[16:01] Enjin**
Most people would call it rubbish and toss it,
**[16:04] Enjin**
but you're still clinging on.
**[16:08] Enjin**
Not that you should care what
a simple passer-by has to say...
**[16:16] Enjin**
But you can't become strong
until you know your weakness.
**[16:20] Enjin**
Oh, that's right.
**[16:23] Enjin**
We'll be back in this city
to eat more of that manju.
**[16:27] Enjin**
I'd like to see you prove one day...
**[16:29] Enjin**
That the average can eclipse the gifted.
**[17:19] Zanka**
Lovely Assistaff.
**[17:29] Zanka**
Didn't I tell ya...
**[17:32] Zanka**
I ain't gonna die until I prove it.
**[17:35] Zanka**
I'm gonna show you...
**[17:38] Zanka**
what a mediocrity can do!
**[17:45] Jabber**
Hey Zanka, old buddy...
**[17:49] Zanka**
What a... mediocrity... can...
**[17:57] Jabber**
Sounds like you're hallucinating real nice.
**[18:12] Jabber**
Gloopy-goo toxin!
**[18:14] Jabber**
Neurotoxin!
**[18:21] Jabber**
Then throw in the venomenal hallucinogen!
**[18:29] Jabber**
Well? Well? Well?!
**[18:32] Jabber**
That's what I stabbed you with!
**[18:34] Jabber**
Crazy intense, right?!
**[18:37] Jabber**
It's phenomenal!
**[18:38] Jabber**
No... venomenal!
**[18:42] Jabber**
I got that one from a guy
who tried to kill me with it.
**[18:46] Jabber**
It causes hallucinations so vivid
you'll think they're real life.
**[18:51] Jabber**
Then afterward, it makes you
wanna puke your guts out!
**[18:53] Jabber**
You won't be able to get enough!
**[18:57] Jabber**
Ow!
**[18:58] Jabber**
My damn ribs hurt, man!
**[19:03] Jabber**
Hey, y'know? When you break a rib, man...
**[19:08] Jabber**
It hurts even to laugh.
**[19:11] Jabber**
You knew that, huh?
**[19:13] Jabber**
Yeah, figured. Most people do.
**[19:21] Jabber**
I thought you'd give me a crazier fight.
**[19:25] Jabber**
Guess it's over already...
**[19:29] Jabber**
Maybe another Cleaner
would've been more fun.
**[19:48] Jabber**
Look at you! You're having a blast!
**[19:50] Jabber**
C'mon, man! No fair!
**[19:53] Jabber**
Let me in on this!
**[19:55] Jabber**
Let's go!
**[20:36] Guita**
I'm out!
**[20:45] Guita**
Aw, nobody's here either?!
**[20:50] Guita**
What's going on here?
**[20:53] Guita**
I dunno how to get out,
and I've been here all alone.
**[20:58] Guita**
You're my only friend, Roachie!
**[21:04] Guita**
Wait for me!
**[21:09] Guita**
Hey, I said wait!
**[21:12] Guita**
Roachie!
**[21:43] Jabber**
The party can't last forever, Zanka old pal.
**[21:51] Jabber**
Guess I'd better offer you up
to the trash beast now.
**[21:57] Jabber**
Good ol' Jabber carried out
his mission like a champ!

**[00:59] Jabber**
Good ol' Jabber carried out

**[01:12] Jabber**
Can't wait to get my reward from the boss!
**[01:29] Jabber**
The hell?!
**[03:11] Fu**
Crap.
**[03:14] Fu**
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap...
**[03:21] Fu**
People might be finishing
their fights already.
**[03:25] Fu**
I-If I don't hurry, I'll end up dead last...
**[03:30] Fu**
But... Does that mean I have to start?
**[03:34] Fu**
I don't know how to start a fight.
**[03:38] Fu**
Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
**[03:43] Fu**
H-Hey...
**[03:45] Fu**
S-So, m-mi-mister...
**[03:48] Enjin**
Mimister?
**[03:50] Fu**
My name... um...
**[03:53] Fu**
What was it again?
**[03:55] Fu**
Ah, um, Fu Oros...tor...
**[03:58] Enjin**
Umfuoros?
**[04:01] Enjin**
Got it. I'm Enjin.
**[04:09] Fu**
M-Mr. Zodyl... m-my boss...
told me this thing...
**[04:14] Fu**
"We've gotta make the other Cleaners
we brought here into offerings."
**[04:20] Enjin**
*Offerings?*
**[04:22] Fu**
I know I can do that...
**[04:24] Fu**
but he told me to get it done
before the other Raiders do.
**[04:29] Fu**
If... I end up in last place...
**[04:40] Fu**
S-So... I gotta get our fight started already!
**[04:47] Fu**
Y-Yeah!
**[04:51] Fu**
So anyway, could you
please maybe hit me first?!
**[05:13] Enjin**
That'll be a no.

**[06:14] Noerde**
Using wind to throw my hair off
without touching it?
**[06:18] Noerde**
But how long will that work?
**[06:39] Noerde**
You wretch! Don't you turn your back on me!
**[06:53] Noerde**
You're trying my last nerve!
**[06:55] Noerde**
You think you can sneak around
**[06:59] Noerde**
and catch me unawares?!
**[07:07] Noerde**
You slippery little snake!
**[07:10] Noerde**
I truly despise women like you!
**[07:14] Noerde**
Come out this instant!
**[07:16] Noerde**
Are you not also a warrior
who chose the path of battle?!
**[07:20] Noerde**
A true warrior would face me head-on!
**[07:26] Riyo**
I was right on the money.
**[07:29] Riyo**
Your little zappy-zap mode...
**[07:33] Riyo**
It's got a time limit, doesn't it?!
**[07:41] Riyo**
*She dodged it?*
**[08:01] Noerde**
I wasn't about to let you cut my hair twice.
**[08:06] Noerde**
Just as one learns to perform
fiery Latin dances in heels,
**[08:11] Noerde**
I can move my hair
as if it has nerve endings.
**[08:16] Noerde**
How long do you think I've had this long hair?
**[08:20] Noerde**
Don't take me lightly!
**[08:24] Riyo**
You're pretty legit.
**[08:27] Riyo**
I've never met someone
with such pride in their long hair.
**[08:31] Noerde**
But you're right...
**[08:34] Noerde**
The static electricity charged
by Milet here does have a time limit.
**[08:39] Noerde**
I can willingly put it out as well,
**[08:42] Noerde**
but I can't get it to last longer
than a minute or two.
**[08:47] Noerde**
It's not all-powerful.
**[08:49] Riyo**
Well, hey, I'm glad to hear that.
**[08:53] Riyo**
I thought maybe wind
might be your weak point...
**[08:57] Riyo**
I was getting kind of nervous I might
have to get these windmills working!
**[09:03] Riyo**
Nice to know the time limit
is your weak point instead.
**[09:08] Noerde**
You're optimistic, Riyo.
**[09:11] Noerde**
I know how to compensate for my weak point.
**[09:15] Noerde**
That's what makes me a warrior.
**[09:26] Riyo**
*The way she moves...*
**[09:28] Riyo**
Noerde! What was your last job?
**[09:34] Noerde**
I lived in a village of women
in the southern lands...
**[09:37] Noerde**
The warrior tribe, Sileia!
**[09:43] Riyo**
Sorry! Never heard of it.
**[09:45] Noerde**
That's unsurprising.
**[09:49] Noerde**
It was destroyed a long time ago!
**[09:59] Noerde**
The way you move isn't suited
to a large weapon like that.
**[10:08] Riyo**
Nah, it totally is.
**[10:11] Riyo**
But I'll admit...
**[10:16] Riyo**
I'm much better fighting alone.
**[10:23] Noerde**
Who the hell are you?
**[10:26] Riyo**
I'm Riyo.
**[13:02] Noerde**
You weren't a kitten after all.
**[13:09] Noerde**
But...
**[13:11] Noerde**
You're still just a kitty-cat.
**[13:20] Riyo**
Hey.
**[13:22] Riyo**
No one could hear a cry
for help from here, right?
**[13:26] Noerde**
No. There's no escape from here.
**[13:31] Riyo**
I see.
**[13:33] Riyo**
No one can hear, huh?
**[13:37] Noerde**
Don't worry. Once this is over,
**[13:40] Noerde**
you'll be offered up
alongside your companions.
**[13:46] Noerde**
Hey...
**[14:35] Noerde**
Why...
**[14:36] Noerde**
Why do you have that thing?!
**[14:40] Riyo**
Enjin said I can't kill people anymore.
**[14:45] Riyo**
So I was trying really hard
to fight without killing you.
**[14:49] Riyo**
But you're just too strong,
so I ended up having to use it.
**[14:54] Riyo**
Thankfully, it seems like nobody can hear it.
**[14:58] Riyo**
I want to finish things here
so I can get going.
**[15:01] Riyo**
I have to protect my team from the enemy.
**[15:08] Riyo**
Don't worry. Those scissors
are my only vital instrument.
**[15:12] Riyo**
I'll never stain them with blood again.
**[15:16] Riyo**
That's a promise I made a long time ago.
**[15:19] Riyo**
This is an ordinary gun I got
from my boss at my last job.
**[15:23] Riyo**
A parting gift.
**[15:25] Noerde**
Don't tell me, you're...
**[15:28] Noerde**
a professional killer?!
**[15:38] Riyo**
That's going to have to
be our little secret, okay?
**[15:44] Riyo**
Lucky for you, Enjin's got me on a leash now.
**[15:48] Riyo**
That means you get to live.
**[15:51] Riyo**
You can't move now,
but I made sure it was a flesh wound.
**[15:54] Riyo**
Make sure that manhole kid saves you.
**[15:59] Riyo**
I'm gonna go look for the rest of my team now.
**[16:07] Riyo**
You know where they are?
**[16:13] Noerde**
* I just assumed the Cleaners*
* would like to keep their hands clean...*
**[16:23] Noerde**
*There's some real dirty bastards there.*
**[16:30] Riyo**
Only the manhole kid and the Raiders' boss
know where they are, huh?
**[16:37] Riyo**
And she said these pipes link
together like blood vessels...
**[16:41] Riyo**
Won't be easy to find them.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Riyo**
I wanna know more about you.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Riyo**
Okay?
**[17:10] Riyo**
I still don't know how Rudo will end up.
**[17:24] Riyo**
But...
**[17:34] (Flashback) Riyo**
Enjin.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Riyo**
Why don't I go and ask her what's what?
**[17:41] (Flashback) Rudo**
Let's you and me learn
to hold our hands out to others.
**[17:45] (Flashback) Rudo**
Together.
**[17:53] Riyo**
Could have just let her be.
***SIGN*** Back to the Present
**[18:01] Jabber**
The hell?!
**[18:21] Riyo**
You're too stubborn to die, I'm sure.
**[18:30] Riyo**
Zanka? You okay?
**[18:35] Riyo**
Hey.
**[18:38] Riyo**
Oh, you're alive. Awesome.
**[18:42] Riyo**
Looks like he hit you
with a pretty nasty toxin.
**[18:46] Riyo**
Guess we'd better get you out of here.
**[18:54] Riyo**
We need to get back and get you patched up.
**[19:15] Cthoni**
Jabber won.
**[19:18] Cthoni**
Noerde lost.
**[19:19] Cthoni**
Fu's still waiting for the umbrella-wielder
to make the first move.
**[19:26] Cthoni**
Bundus is talking to the "father-son" duo,
trying to get info about the Cleaners' leader.
**[19:33] Zodyl**
Rudo.
**[19:36] Zodyl**
You Cleaners are tougher than I expected.
**[19:39] Rudo**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[19:40] Rudo**
What are you doing to them?
**[19:43] Zodyl**
We should get moving.
**[20:07] Rudo**
Dammit... You...
**[20:09] Rudo**
Quit tossing me around!
**[20:12] Rudo**
You still haven't told me where we are,
**[20:16] Rudo**
why you're here, or what you want from me!
**[20:19] Rudo**
I'm gonna pound you, asshole!
**[20:21] Zodyl**
You just can't do anything
without cursing and flailing, can you?
**[20:27] Zodyl**
I made you an offer.
**[20:29] Zodyl**
"Want to take the Sphere down with me?"
**[20:34] Zodyl**
It's not your mouth
you should be working right now.
**[20:38] Zodyl**
It's your brain—considering whether to accept.
**[20:44] Zodyl**
Are you the kind of person who can't
do anything unless it's all laid out for you?
**[20:49] Zodyl**
Should I prepare a picture book?
**[20:53] Rudo**
Well, I've got one thing worked out!
**[20:58] Rudo**
You're just the kind of asshole I hate!
**[21:04] Zodyl**
I wish a more level-headed Sphereite
had fallen down here instead.
**[21:14] Zodyl**
I doubt you have anything to contribute
regarding a plan to reach the Sphere.
**[21:20] Zodyl**
Allow me to show you, then.
**[21:41] Zodyl**
The Watchman series—
**[21:47] Zodyl**
Your gloves.
**[21:50] Zodyl**
My coat.
**[21:53] Zodyl**
And these boots.
**[21:57] Zodyl**
I was trying to create my own entries
in the Watchman series.
