[01:54] ---
    Alright then, Henrietta.
[01:56] ---
    Do you have any trouble sleeping,
    nausea, or slight fevers?
[02:02] ---
    No, Dr. Bianchi.
[02:05] ---
    Be honest. This is for your own sake.
[02:10] ---
    It's the truth! I've been just fine lately!
[02:14] ---
    So are you confident you
    can listen to your Handler
[02:17] ---
    and control your emotions?
[02:19] ---
    Yes.
[02:22] ---
    I'll try my best.
[02:25] ---
    Henrietta-chan is as adorable as ever.
[02:27] ---
    Seeing a girl that innocent
    makes me want to win one over.
[02:31] ---
    I'd take the girls before
    you Italian men could.
[02:35] ---
    And then I'd make a ballet
    company out of them.
[02:39] ---
    That's a good idea.
[02:40] ---
    Isn't it?
[02:41] ---
    Amadeo, I have an even more creative plan.
[02:46] ---
    What's that, Giorgio-kun?
[02:48] ---
    A soccer team.
[02:50] ---
    That's perfect!
[02:52] ---
    What's with you Italian men?
[02:54] ---
    Hey, now. Stop playing
    around with my Henrietta.
[02:59] ---
    Giuse-san, we're just kidding.
[03:02] ---
    Rough people like us can't
    possibly handle such a delicate girl.
[03:07] ---
    "Fairy Tale"
[03:14] ---
    Alrighty then.
[03:16] ---
    I'm done with her; could you
    bring Angelica in 10 minutes?
[03:20] ---
    Understood.
[03:25] ---
    Henrietta.
[03:29] ---
    I'll ask again now that
    the scary lady is gone...
[03:32] ---
    Are you really all right?
[03:34] ---
    Doctor?
[03:35] ---
    Please don't keep me from working.
[03:39] ---
    I've only killed four people this month,
[03:41] ---
    but last month I killed ten!
[03:44] ---
    That's probably more than Triela!
[03:46] ---
    So you're lying about being all right?
[03:50] ---
    No!
[03:54] ---
    But if I don't say that,
    I don't know if I'll be useable...
[03:59] ---
    You always report to someone, right?
[04:02] ---
    She really is delicate...
[04:05] ---
    So please--
[04:05] ---
    Henrietta,
[04:07] ---
    control your emotions.
[04:12] ---
    Once you can do that,
    you won't need to worry anymore.
[04:18] ---
    Alright...
[04:23] ---
    If only I could make her into a ballerina...
[04:28] ---
    Olga...
[04:30] ---
    You're up next.
[04:33] ---
    I win.
[04:38] ---
    Come in.
[04:44] ---
    Ah, Angelica. Have a seat.
[04:51] ---
    Do you remember me?
[04:55] ---
    Doctor
[04:57] ---
    Bianchi...
[05:00] ---
    That's what my ID says.
[05:04] ---
    You seem well lately.
[05:14] ---
    Oh, I made it!
[05:18] ---
    Aww! My Etta-chan already left?
[05:21] ---
    Don't bother asking, Priscilla.
[05:24] ---
    Giuse-san! Lend me Etta sometime!
[05:27] ---
    I found this great boutique!
[05:29] ---
    How many people do you
    recognize in those pictures?
[05:37] ---
    Number 6, Number 9,
[05:39] ---
    Number 13,
[05:42] ---
    and Number 20...
[05:46] ---
    Doctor, how many have I forgotten?
[05:50] ---
    Have I lost any important people?
[05:54] ---
    It's just a little test.
    Don't worry about it.
[05:58] ---
    Do you remember this story?
[06:02] ---
    "Once upon a time,
    there was a kingdom of pasta.
[06:06] ---
    In this kingdom there lived
    a prince who loved pasta,
[06:09] ---
    and he ate pasta everyday."
[06:13] ---
    That sure brings back memories.
[06:17] ---
    Well?
[06:27] ---
    Doctor, can I start working again soon?
[06:31] ---
    I'm not the one who decides that. Ask Marco.
[06:35] ---
    Okay.
[06:47] ---
    Giuse, are you satisfied now
    that you know what she's thinking?
[06:52] ---
    I let you watch Henrietta's
    interview because you asked,
[06:56] ---
    but what you need is
    not knowledge, but faith.
[07:00] ---
    Marco.
[07:02] ---
    Conversely, the reason I
    forced you to come here
[07:04] ---
    was to renew your former
    interest in Angelica.
[07:08] ---
    What happened to your old enthusiasm?
[07:12] ---
    Bianchi,
[07:14] ---
    you should know
    how I wound up like this--
[07:16] ---
    we went through it together!
[07:20] ---
    I worked hard to teach
    her all sorts of things,
[07:23] ---
    but the cyborg engineers--
[07:26] ---
    the conditioning doctors
    came and made her forget it all!
[07:30] ---
    Maybe you can rationalize it to
    yourself because you're a doctor,
[07:34] ---
    but would you say the same
    thing if you were a Handler?!
[07:42] ---
    I understand how painful it is.
[07:47] ---
    They're studying the
    implants and conditioning.
[07:50] ---
    Their current side effects
    may be reversible someday.
[07:55] ---
    Angelica might not make it in time,
[07:57] ---
    but abandoning her would be horrible.
[08:07] ---
    Marco-san.
[08:13] ---
    They finally released me today!
    Now we can be together again!
[08:20] ---
    Oh, I got this book from
    the counseling doctor...
[08:24] ---
    When do I start work--
[08:31] ---
    Your unsteadiness would only be a handicap!
[08:34] ---
    It's too soon for work.
    Go change clothes and run laps!
[08:45] ---
    All of the girls at the Social
    Welfare Agency are far from happiness,
[08:50] ---
    but nor are they especially unhappy.
[08:56] ---
    Long ago, there was another
    unfortunate girl known as Angelina.
[09:18] ---
    Pero...
[09:21] ---
    Her own parents tried to kill her.
[09:25] ---
    Shortly before her father's
    factory went under,
[09:28] ---
    he took out a large
    insurance policy on his daughter.
[09:35] ---
    Around that time, I was--
[09:37] ---
    So you were dismissed
    because your eyesight grew bad?
[09:41] ---
    Wasn't it a workplace injury?
[09:43] ---
    Not going blind was enough for me!
[09:47] ---
    Even if my eyesight is bad... Patrizia,
[09:50] ---
    I can see your eyes and lips perfectly.
[09:56] ---
    You have quite an
    impressive history, Marco Toni.
[10:01] ---
    Alright.
[10:02] ---
    You're hired.
[10:03] ---
    Thank you!
[10:06] ---
    By the way, do you like children?
[10:09] ---
    Yes, I love them!
[10:12] ---
    What is the new organization attached to?
[10:15] ---
    The State Department?
[10:17] ---
    Bianchi recommended you.
    Did he not tell you anything?
[10:23] ---
    Just that the rules said he couldn't talk.
[10:26] ---
    It would seem the rules are being upheld.
[10:35] ---
    Well then, allow me to explain your job.
[10:57] ---
    Daddy...
[10:59] ---
    Mommy...
[11:01] ---
    Pero...
[11:11] ---
    Where am I?
[11:14] ---
    Who are you?
[11:15] ---
    This is the hospital of
    the Social Welfare Agency.
[11:20] ---
    That's strange...
[11:22] ---
    I went on an errand with Pero
[11:25] ---
    and then this car came at me...
[11:28] ---
    ...and then I couldn't move.
[11:31] ---
    We used magic to make you all better.
[11:34] ---
    Where's Daddy?
[11:36] ---
    And Pero?
[11:37] ---
    Your parents had to do something,
    so they're somewhere else.
[11:42] ---
    And Pero's with them, of course.
[11:46] ---
    Are you giving me a shot?
[11:48] ---
    You don't like shots?
[11:51] ---
    No...
[11:52] ---
    No kids do.
[11:54] ---
    Here, I'll tell you a story
    so you won't notice it.
[11:59] ---
    Let's see...
[12:02] ---
    Do you like pasta?
[12:05] ---
    Yes.
[12:06] ---
    Then I'll tell you the 'Prince
    of the Pasta Kingdom' story.
[12:11] ---
    Once upon a time,
    there was a kingdom of pasta.
[12:16] ---
    In this kingdom there lived
    a prince who loved pasta,
[12:19] ---
    and he ate pasta everyday.
[12:22] ---
    But there was only one
    fork in the whole kingdom,
[12:26] ---
    so the prince always had to eat pasta alone.
[12:31] ---
    Even really delicious pasta
    has no flavor if you eat it alone.
[12:36] ---
    It hurts after all...
[12:39] ---
    Yeah, I should've figured.
[12:42] ---
    Continue...
[12:45] ---
    The pasta story...
[12:48] ---
    I'll tell you more when
    you get your next shot.
[12:52] ---
    Now be a good little girl.
[12:56] ---
    The nearly-dead Angelina was
    reborn as a cybernetic test subject.
[13:01] ---
    I named the brand-new cyborg 'Angelica.'
[13:06] ---
    Her parents were absolute scum,
[13:09] ---
    but I felt they were
    correct to call her an angel.
[13:13] ---
    Oh, wow!
[13:15] ---
    Who's the cutey, Marco-san?
[13:18] ---
    Is she your daughter?!
[13:21] ---
    Stop talking like that, you perverts!
[13:24] ---
    She's the cyborg.
[13:26] ---
    Oh, so she's the one?
[13:28] ---
    I'm the missionary of love, Amadeo.
[13:32] ---
    Good to meetcha--
[13:34] ---
    I'm the fallen angel of love, Priscilla!
[13:37] ---
    Back then, Section 2 consisted of
    Angelica and less than 10 members.
[13:42] ---
    We never got any real work,
    so we had lots of spare time.
[13:51] ---
    How is she?
[13:53] ---
    Almost too good.
    Cybernetic implants are incredible.
[13:58] ---
    Does she ever ask about her family?
[14:01] ---
    On occasion.
[14:03] ---
    That's when the Pasta
    Prince story comes out...
[14:06] ---
    ...once she hears that,
    she quickly forgets 'em.
[14:10] ---
    Though I just make it up as I go along.
[14:13] ---
    Oh? That was your story?
[14:16] ---
    I figured it was from one of
    Patrizia's children's books...
[14:21] ---
    Have you told her about this job?
[14:23] ---
    No. I'll tell her next week.
[14:27] ---
    Welfare work?
[14:29] ---
    I thought you
    were with the military police?
[14:31] ---
    Remember that man, Bianchi?
[14:34] ---
    He got me in.
[14:38] ---
    What kind of work do you do?
[14:40] ---
    How do I put it... I take care of children.
[14:44] ---
    That's great. Now we can
    see each other all the time.
[14:48] ---
    It's the perfect job for you!
[14:50] ---
    Every time I saw Angelica, she
    pestered me about the rest of the story.
[14:56] ---
    As I was completely out of ideas,
[14:58] ---
    I had some idle members
    help think up the pasta tale.
[15:04] ---
    Don't all fairy tales have a princess?
[15:08] ---
    A princess kidnapped
    by a dragon or something...
[15:11] ---
    A dragon, huh?
[15:13] ---
    Seems kind of ordinary...
[15:16] ---
    We're not pros, and it
    doesn't need to be complex.
[15:18] ---
    Fairy tales you still remember
[15:18] ---
    What are former public security elites
[15:21] ---
    and Russian spies doing?
[15:21] ---
    as an adult
[15:23] ---
    What's the harm? There's
    nothing to do anyway.
[15:23] ---
    are simple and have memorable scenes.
[15:26] ---
    Wish they'd get her back in combat shape
[15:26] ---
    The dragon that kidnapped the princess
[15:29] ---
    seems evil at first,
[15:29] ---
    and give us some work.
[15:31] ---
    but he just wanted a friend,
    like the prince. How's that?
[15:35] ---
    Sounds good!
[15:38] ---
    As per Giorgio's hopes, Angelica's
    implants were successfully replaced.
[15:43] ---
    By the time Prince Pasta met Princess Pizza,
[15:46] ---
    Section 2 had finally become
    strong enough to take on terrorists.
[15:51] ---
    Why is the prince's name 'Pasta'?
[15:55] ---
    Only the prince of Pasta
    Kingdom can eat pasta.
[15:59] ---
    There's only one fork that gets passed down,
[16:02] ---
    so only one person can be named 'Pasta.'
[16:04] ---
    Just when I thought you rarely see me,
[16:07] ---
    I never expected you were
    writing a fairy tale for a little girl.
[16:11] ---
    What are you writing?
[16:13] ---
    It sounds interesting,
    so I want to take notes.
[16:17] ---
    Say, Marco. Can't you tell me where you work?
[16:22] ---
    Sure. The 'Social Welfare Agency.'
[16:25] ---
    It's your average government group.
[16:27] ---
    Is that so...
[16:29] ---
    Yep.
[16:36] ---
    Legs a little farther apart.
    Stick your arms out gently.
[16:41] ---
    Don't touch the trigger
    until you're about to shoot.
[16:46] ---
    Alright. Take a shot.
[16:48] ---
    Don't be surprised by the sound or recoil.
[16:54] ---
    Wow! I wouldn't have thought
    that was a little girl's first try!
[16:59] ---
    Cybernetic implants really are amazing.
[17:02] ---
    Here to waste time again?
[17:05] ---
    What's with the suspicious sunglasses?
[17:07] ---
    Give me some credit.
[17:09] ---
    I just did hand-to-hand combat training.
[17:12] ---
    You train too, Priscilla-chan?
[17:16] ---
    I am in charge of intellectual work,
[17:20] ---
    but if I'm going to be in this organization,
[17:22] ---
    I should toughen myself up.
[17:24] ---
    Strength brings possibilities.
[17:26] ---
    Possibilities?
[17:27] ---
    Right. Possibilities that can
    be used for good or bad things.
[17:33] ---
    I wanted to help you like how
    the prince saved Princess Pizza.
[17:39] ---
    But from the looks of it,
    you should be protecting me.
[17:43] ---
    Well? Was it scary shooting a gun?
[17:45] ---
    No. I had to do it, so I was fine.
[17:51] ---
    Conditioning sure is scary.
[18:02] ---
    What's your problem?
[18:06] ---
    We do nothing but baby-sit!
[18:09] ---
    So? The pay is good,
    and we get to be with girls.
[18:12] ---
    You're just here for the
    chicks? Marine trash!
[18:17] ---
    Are all army officers this stupid?
[18:20] ---
    --Do you love murder that much?!
    --Why, you...
[18:23] ---
    That eager to fight, huh?
    Talk about childish!
[18:41] ---
    I want to fire the both of you,
[18:44] ---
    but the agency doesn't
    dismiss people that easily.
[18:46] ---
    I'll make you suffer instead.
[18:49] ---
    For the next 3 months,
    participate in the army's operations.
[18:52] ---
    If you want to exert yourselves
    that badly, then go do it there.
[18:55] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    - -Yes, sir!
[18:57] ---
    I tested the possibilities
    that Priscilla-chan talked about.
[19:01] ---
    Maybe I was wrong?
[19:05] ---
    Not at all. You did great.
[19:10] ---
    Ironically, this incident spurred
    on the use of cybernetic implants,
[19:14] ---
    and soon Section 2 was given
    a chance for real combat.
[19:34] ---
    And then we learned of the side effects
    of cybernetic transformation.
[19:40] ---
    They're so pretty!
[19:41] ---
    Yeah.
[19:43] ---
    Angelica.
[19:45] ---
    Amadeo-san! Giorgio-san!
[19:48] ---
    Oh, you're finally back?
[19:51] ---
    Those were the three months from Hell.
[19:53] ---
    --You brought it on yourself.
    --Yeah, I know.
[19:56] ---
    Angelica, here you go.
[20:04] ---
    Hey, apologize.
[20:06] ---
    Yeah, yeah!
[20:08] ---
    I'm sorry about before.
[20:12] ---
    Did something happen?
[20:28] ---
    I never thought you two would break up...
[20:33] ---
    Dr. Bianchi, what was his real job?
[20:38] ---
    It's...
[20:40] ---
    ...against the rules to tell me?
[20:43] ---
    He said the same thing.
[20:45] ---
    While still smelling of gunpowder...
[20:49] ---
    I want Marco to be a normal person...
[20:54] ---
    ...so I broke up with him.
[20:57] ---
    Oh, yes!
[20:59] ---
    Whatever happened to that story?
[21:01] ---
    The Prince Pasta and Princess Pizza one?
[21:04] ---
    The main story was finished.
[21:07] ---
    They even made a side story!
[21:10] ---
    Doctor, could you tell me
    what kind of story it was?
[21:15] ---
    If it's alright with you,
    I'd like to make it into a book!
[21:21] ---
    I no longer tell her the story.
[21:28] ---
    I don't want to think that everything
    I did for her back then was in vain.
[21:36] ---
    She no longer remembers the story.
[21:41] ---
    One more lap and we'll call it a day.
[21:43] ---
    Yes, sir...
[23:04] ---
