[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    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?
