    Spiral Dance of Glass
[01:56] ---
    Ship this without knowing what's inside?
[01:59] ---
    Well, there's a way to do that, but...
[02:10] ---
    50,000 kin?
[02:13] ---
    Idiot. 500,000.
[02:21] ---
    Damn, he's totally taking advantage of me!
[02:26] ---
    We'll have to leave them here for now.
[02:33] ---
    To get to Unit Khaki,
    where your father might be,
[02:36] ---
    a boat from harbor's the only way.
[02:38] ---
    But since we have no fare...
[02:42] ---
    Shinozuka...
[02:44] ---
    What?
[02:45] ---
    I think maybe you should go home now.
[02:48] ---
    Hajiki...
[02:49] ---
    This time, it has nothing to do with you.
[02:52] ---
    You've no reason to cross the sea.
[02:54] ---
    But...
[02:56] ---
    It's not like I'm trying to
    sound big, but this is my journey.
[03:02] ---
    That's true.
[03:03] ---
    I'm only a burden, after all.
[03:06] ---
    It'd cost more to get on the ship,
    so it's better without me.
[03:09] ---
    I didn't say that, did I?
[03:11] ---
    Never mind, I'll go by myself.
[03:14] ---
    What can you do alone?
[03:16] ---
    First of all, you don't have the fare.
[03:18] ---
    If it's just me, I can fly on Hayate!
[03:22] ---
    Do you think you can
    cross the sea on Hayate?
[03:26] ---
    I'm not sure.
[03:28] ---
    What if you fell in halfway there?
[03:30] ---
    That's a cold winter sea! You're totally...
[03:33] ---
    I have my own journey, as well.
[03:39] ---
    It has nothing to do with you.
[03:41] ---
    Then do what you want!
[04:07] ---
    For now, I need to earn money.
[04:10] ---
    I also need a place to stay.
[04:21] ---
    You were a big help, buddy.
[04:23] ---
    Thanks a bunch.
[04:26] ---
    See you.
[04:28] ---
    Uh, w-wait!
[04:30] ---
    W-Well, do you happen
    to be hiring part-time help?
[04:36] ---
    Let me tell you, I'm glad you showed up.
[04:39] ---
    We were short-handed,
    so I've been overworked like a mule.
[04:43] ---
    Thanks for talking to the
    president and getting me a job.
[04:47] ---
    This town survives on glass.
[04:49] ---
    They ship mountain studio
    glasswork from the harbor.
[04:53] ---
    As long as the studios stay there,
    work'll never be in short supply.
[04:57] ---
    Um, I'm also looking for
    a place to crash...
[05:01] ---
    For free if possible.
[05:03] ---
    Free in this day and age?
[05:07] ---
    If you'll take haunted houses,
    there's one ahead.
[05:10] ---
    Haunted house?
[05:17] ---
    It's at the top of that rock staircase.
[05:19] ---
    By the way, it's really rundown.
[05:21] ---
    I'm used to that stuff.
[05:23] ---
    Okay then.
[05:24] ---
    See you for work tomorrow.
[05:26] ---
    Right. Thank you very much.
[05:38] ---
    Well, at least it has a roof.
[05:42] ---
    At one time, it was a studio
    that an old man operated by himself.

[05:47] ---
    The place was abandoned after he died
[05:50] ---
    because he had no heirs, it seems.
[06:02] ---
    Smoke...
[06:03] ---
    Is somebody here?
[06:28] ---
    Oh, uh, no...
[06:30] ---
    Um, I'm not a threat.
[06:33] ---
    Are you someone who lives here?
[06:37] ---
    I'm sorry for using it without permission!
[06:42] ---
    Pardon?
[06:46] ---
    I see.
[06:48] ---
    So I'm not the only one who got the idea.
[06:53] ---
    The inside room is open, so use this.
[06:57] ---
    Thank you.
[06:58] ---
    I can't help clean the room, though.
[07:01] ---
    Okay.
[07:02] ---
    Um, I haven't gotten your name yet.
[07:05] ---
    I'm Kirara.
[07:07] ---
    Kirara... Okay.
[07:09] ---
    I'm Hajiki.
[07:10] ---
    Hajiki Sanada.
[07:15] ---
    I came to this town
    because I love glasswork.
[07:19] ---
    Oh, that's why you're so good at it.
[07:23] ---
    Earlier.
[07:24] ---
    How can I put it...
[07:26] ---
    It was like the glass was dancing.
[07:32] ---
    Dancing glass...
[07:34] ---
    What a wonderful way to put it!
[07:38] ---
    Dancing glass, huh?
[07:42] ---
    What brought you here, Hajiki?
[07:45] ---
    I'm...
[07:47] ---
    Did you come alone?
[07:50] ---
    No, I just had a feeling.
[07:52] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[07:53] ---
    Well, I have to go clean up the studio.
[07:57] ---
    See you.
[07:58] ---
    S-Sure.
[08:06] ---
    I wonder if Shinozuka's okay?
[08:14] ---
    Morning.
[08:29] ---
    You really stayed there?
[08:32] ---
    Holey floors and stuff, right?
[08:33] ---
    Oh, it wasn't that bad.
[08:37] ---
    Oh, stop! Stop!
[08:43] ---
    Shinozuka!
[08:44] ---
    Hajiki.
[08:49] ---
    How are you doing?
    Where'd you stay last night?
[08:52] ---
    Um, I'm working in the store over there.
[08:55] ---
    The lady's nice...
[08:57] ---
    ..and said I could stay
    at night if I do karate.
[09:00] ---
    Kind of like a guard.
[09:02] ---
    I was sent out to get lunch for everyone.
[09:06] ---
    O-Oh, all right.
[09:08] ---
    That's good.
[09:11] ---
    W-What about you, Hajiki?
[09:12] ---
    Oh, yeah. I found work, too.
[09:16] ---
    And a place to stay.
[09:18] ---
    Oops, I have to go.
[09:20] ---
    See you.
[09:34] ---
    This is all for today.
    I see. Good work.
[09:38] ---
    I'm back.
[09:39] ---
    Oh, welcome back.
[09:40] ---
    Well, thank you for this.
[09:44] ---
    Come again, okay?
[09:49] ---
    Was that girl a glass worker?
[09:52] ---
    Yeah, and a fantastic one, too.
[09:55] ---
    Incredible... And she's still so young.
[09:57] ---
    Was it three months ago?
[10:00] ---
    She suddenly appeared...
[10:02] ---
    and asked for materials
    in exchange for glasswork.
[10:05] ---
    I agreed right away after
    seeing what you see.
[10:08] ---
    But she doesn't say where she
    makes them, or where she lives.
[10:16] ---
    She was doing fine.
[10:19] ---
    What was that?
[10:21] ---
    Uh, no, it's nothing.
[10:22] ---
    They say that place used
    to be a really good studio,
[10:26] ---
    with lots of workers.
[10:29] ---
    Unfortunately, although
    the boss was highly skilled,
[10:33] ---
    he was hard to please and stubborn.
[10:35] ---
    It wasn't long before his wife ran away.
[10:37] ---
    I see...
[10:39] ---
    He became crazier after that,
[10:41] ---
    and his apprentices quit one by one.
[10:43] ---
    In the end, he just passed away.
[10:46] ---
    They say it was suicide.
[10:49] ---
    I wonder where people's
    thoughts disappear to in the end?
[10:58] ---
    People used to live here,
[11:00] ---
    and they lived with all
    sorts of thoughts every day, right?
[11:04] ---
    But now, there's nothing left.
[11:09] ---
    That's not really so.
[11:11] ---
    I have a feeling...
[11:13] ---
    And it's only a feeling...
[11:15] ---
    But it's like even the junk here
[11:18] ---
    carries the warmth of the
    people who used to live here.
[11:22] ---
    I have a feeling there's
    something like that left.
[11:29] ---
    It's so pretty.
[11:30] ---
    Look, it's like glasswork created by God.
[11:38] ---
    You know what?
[11:39] ---
    I make glasswork because
    I want to put my thoughts into form.
[11:44] ---
    Your thoughts into form?
[11:46] ---
    The glass dances for me
    exactly as I want it to.
[11:50] ---
    But it hasn't taken its real form yet.
[11:55] ---
    The real form that I want to make.
[11:59] ---
    If I manage to make it...
[12:02] ---
    will you accept it, Hajiki?
[12:05] ---
    M-Me?
[12:06] ---
    Yeah.
[12:08] ---
    Promise me.
[12:09] ---
    Me?
[12:21] ---
    It's a promise, Hajiki!
[12:47] ---
    I'm here. Hajiki
[13:05] ---
    Relax your shoulders more.
[13:07] ---
    This hand's supposed to give light support.
[13:10] ---
    Here, like this.
[13:30] ---
    W-Well, I guess that's all there is to it.
[13:33] ---
    I think it'll cool sometime tomorrow.
[13:35] ---
    Hey, want to keep trying some more?
[13:38] ---
    Can I?
[13:39] ---
    Yeah, I can't lower the
    furnace's heat, at any rate.
[13:43] ---
    I'll go get more materials.
[13:45] ---
    This should be the place...
[13:50] ---
    The girl from yesterday...
[13:52] ---
    Kirara, do you want help?
[13:54] ---
    No, I'm okay.
[14:02] ---
    H-How about this...
[14:05] ---
    It's well made for a first attempt.
[14:07] ---
    Hajiki, you have talent!
[14:10] ---
    Really?
[14:11] ---
    All righty.
[14:13] ---
    Maybe I'll give it a more
    serious try and get trained!
[14:16] ---
    Weren't you going to cross the channel?
[14:22] ---
    S-Shinozuka, what are you doing here?
[14:26] ---
    You drew me a map, remember?
[14:27] ---
    What are you thinking?
[14:30] ---
    I'm angry now.
[14:35] ---
    No, stop it, stupid!
[14:37] ---
    Who's stupid?
[14:44] ---
    Hajiki...
[14:46] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:47] ---
    Y-Yeah... Where did she go?
[14:50] ---
    She went away angry.
[14:52] ---
    Shouldn't you go after her?
[14:54] ---
    Nah, she's fine.
[14:57] ---
    No, that's no good. I'll go stop her!
[15:00] ---
    It's okay!
[15:02] ---
    It is not!
[15:04] ---
    Ow...
[15:09] ---
    Kirara!
[15:16] ---
    You're Katana's...
[15:19] ---
    Starting to crack.
[15:21] ---
    What?
[15:24] ---
    H-Hey!
[15:27] ---
    Are you all right? What did she do?
[15:31] ---
    No, nothing.
[15:32] ---
    I just felt a little dizzy.
[15:34] ---
    Do you know that little girl?
[15:37] ---
    Y-Yeah, a little.
[15:40] ---
    Well, your body's cold.
[15:42] ---
    Is anything wrong with you?
[15:44] ---
    I don't know...
[15:46] ---
    I'm sorry, but would you take me inside?
[15:52] ---
    Hey, Hajiki?
[15:54] ---
    That lady before...
[15:56] ---
    She was your sweetheart, wasn't she?
[15:59] ---
    You have to be honest to your feelings.
[16:03] ---
    Or you'll break apart.
[16:05] ---
    Yeah.
[16:07] ---
    I got it, so the ill
    shouldn't be talking so much.
[16:16] ---
    You're headed to town, right?
[16:18] ---
    Want a lift?
[16:21] ---
    Yes, please!
[16:22] ---
    That's more like it.
[16:38] ---
    I'm sorry about this, Hajiki.
[16:41] ---
    Well, you have to rest.
[16:43] ---
    I'll go look for medicine.
[16:56] ---
    No way...
[16:58] ---
    But it's true.
[16:59] ---
    Oh, Arashi, welcome back.
[17:02] ---
    Hello.
[17:03] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:05] ---
    About a ghost. A ghost!
[17:07] ---
    You know, the glasswork girl.
[17:10] ---
    We think she's a girl
    who died three months ago.
[17:14] ---
    Please. Stop talking
    nonsense, you silly girls.
[17:18] ---
    But my big brother is a policeman.
[17:21] ---
    He saw her body, you know.
[17:23] ---
    I need to know all the details.
[17:26] ---
    Sure...
[17:35] ---
    Hey there!
[17:36] ---
    We meet again.
[17:39] ---
    Going to the mountain?
    Sort of.
[17:41] ---
    Please, I need a ride!
[17:56] ---
    Kirara!
[17:58] ---
    This isn't it...
[17:59] ---
    Why?
[18:00] ---
    Why can't I make the same thing?
[18:04] ---
    You need to rest!
[18:06] ---
    I have to make it.
[18:09] ---
    I have to make my thoughts.
[18:17] ---
    What the?
[18:30] ---
    Don't get closer!
[18:31] ---
    Wait, please!
[18:32] ---
    Could it be that you're...
[18:40] ---
    Um, Kirara?
[18:42] ---
    I heard something in town...
[18:44] ---
    Three months ago,
    a girl who looked just like you
[18:47] ---
    came to this town all by herself.
[18:50] ---
    Then...
[18:53] ---
    She was involved in a big accident,
[18:55] ---
    and she passed away.
[18:59] ---
    Shinozuka...
[19:02] ---
    Hajiki, I think that maybe she's a...
[19:10] ---
    You were actually a Techode?
[19:15] ---
    What I wanted to make was a glass swan.
[19:20] ---
    It was something my father
    made me as a birthday present.
[19:26] ---
    My mother gave it to me on her
    deathbed, telling me to go to him.
[19:31] ---
    I was really looking forward to seeing him.
[20:12] ---
    Today was my birthday.
[20:16] ---
    I think that's why I...
[20:21] ---
    I made a promise.
[20:24] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't make it.
[20:29] ---
    Kirara!
[20:32] ---
    Hajiki, you have to be honest
    to your own feelings, okay?
[20:51] ---
    Hajiki...
[21:06] ---
    Her powerful feelings
    were reborn as a Techode.
[21:11] ---
    As the image of her living self.
[21:14] ---
    Hajiki, our Techodes
    might also leave someday?
[21:18] ---
    I'm not so sure about that.
[21:41] ---
    Hey, I think we're in trouble.
[21:44] ---
    Katana might be here.
[21:46] ---
    The little girl who's always
    with him is in this town.
[21:51] ---
    So...
[21:54] ---
    So I think...
[21:59] ---
    No, that's not it.
[22:07] ---
    Would you...
[22:10] ---
    Would you...
[22:12] ---
    please come with me?
[22:14] ---
    To Unit Khaki.
[22:18] ---
    Yeah.
[22:19] ---
