[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?
