[00:57] Kaina
    Caddis flies!
[01:08] Kaina
    That's a big hole...
[01:12] Kaina
    Yes! That one's carrying eggs!
[01:20] Kaina
    Score!

[04:09] Gramps A
    Ah, Kaina's back.
[04:42] Kaina
    I'm home!
[04:43] Grans A
    Oh, welcome back, Kaina.
    Thank you for going out.
[04:50] Gramps B
    Wow!
[04:51] Grans A
    Ah, will you look at that!
    You caught one with eggs.
[04:55] Kaina
    Yeah, I did.
[04:57] Gramps B
    That's good work!
[04:59] Grans B
    Eh? Did Kaina catch this bug?
[05:04] Grans A
    That's right, Kaina caught it.
[05:08] Grans B
    Very impressive.
[05:12] Grans A
    We'll take care of the rest. You go change.
[05:16] Kaina
    Okay. Thanks.
[05:19] Grans A
    We haven't had raw eggs in ages.
[05:22] Gramps B
    We should smoke the legs!
[05:55] Kaina
    I was right, it is moving!
[05:57] Gramps A
    Kaina, food's ready!
[06:00] Kaina
    Okay!
[06:02] Kaina
    That's when I saw the one
    carrying eggs near the hole.
[06:05] Kaina
    So I steadied my aim, and bam! Bull's-eye!
[06:10] Kaina
    I hit the mark, but then it fell
    through the hole in the Canopy.
[06:14] Kaina
    Then a giant tree fly
    flew over to snag our grub.
[06:17] Kaina
    But right before it got to the
    fly, I pulled the rope up!
[06:21] Kaina
    It was a close one.
[06:23] Grans A
    Kaina, please don't do anything dangerous.
[06:27] Grans A
    You could've fallen through the hole.
[06:30] Kaina
    Yeah, I'll be careful.
[06:33] Grans B
    To think there's such a
    big hole in the Canopy...
[06:39] Kaina
    Caddis flies are attracted to holes,
    so it makes the hunting easier.
[06:44] Gramps B
    They repair holes.
[06:48] Gramps B
    That's why we're not supposed
    to hunt too many of them.
[06:52] Grans A
    It's not like we have enough people
    here for overhunting to be a problem.
[07:01] Gramps A
    The growing number of holes in the Canopy
[07:04] Gramps A
    and the drop in water output
    from the orbital spire tree...
[07:07] Gramps A
    I wonder if those two are related.
[07:10] Kaina
    I wonder, too.
[07:12] Kaina
    The holes are bigger now,
[07:15] Kaina
    but the number of bugs that gather
    around them seems to be decreasing.
[07:24] Kaina
    Thank you for the food.
[07:26] Grans A
    Kaina, take this to the Signkeeper.
[07:30] Kaina
    Oh, okay.
[07:38] Gramps A
    I feel bad for that boy. He's
    going to suffer so much hardship.
[07:41] Gramps B
    I'll go hunting with him next time, then.
[07:44] Gramps A
    No, I'm talking about further down the line.
[07:47] Gramps B
    Huh?
[07:48] Gramps A
    We're low on water.
[07:51] Gramps A
    This orbital spire tree is dying.
[07:54] Grans A
    We don't have a whole lot
    of time left, but he does.
[08:00] Grans B
    Once we die, he'll be the only one left.
[08:13] Kaina
    Signkeeper, I brought you food.
[08:15] Signkeeper
    Ah!
[08:18] Signkeeper
    Just leave it there.
[08:21] Kaina
    Here. We've got fresh eggs today.
[08:24] Signkeeper
    Oh? Kaina, did you catch that yourself?
[08:28] Kaina
    That's right.
[08:29] Signkeeper
    Caddis fly eggs are rich in ollagen.
[08:34] Kaina
    Ol... What?
[08:37] Signkeeper
    Beats me.
[08:39] Signkeeper
    Here, let's go over yesterday's
    lesson. Read it aloud.
SIGN    Beware of falling objects
[08:43] Kaina
    "Beware of falling objects..."
[08:47] Kaina
    This one makes sense.
[08:50] Signkeeper
    Okay, next.
[08:52] Kaina
    "Hand-holding... Authentication
    ceremony... Sends shredded price..."
[09:02] Kaina
    Hey, is this really right?
[09:05] Signkeeper
    This is the correct way to read them,
    passed down from our ancestors.
[09:09] Kaina
    What does it mean?
[09:10] Signkeeper
    No clue.
[09:11] Kaina
    What's the point in just reading them?
[09:14] Kaina
    They're all like this.
[09:16] Signkeeper
    Ah, listen well, Kaina.
[09:19] Signkeeper
    What's important isn't what the words mean.
[09:21] Signkeeper
    Billboards only come to life
    when you read them out loud.
[09:27] Kaina
    What does that mean?
[09:28] Signkeeper
    One day, you'll understand.
[09:30] Kaina
    What a halfhearted answer...
[09:32] Kaina
    What's the point of these
    written words, anyway?
[09:35] Signkeeper
    They served a very important purpose.
[09:39] Signkeeper
    Lemme think...
[09:41] Signkeeper
    For example, they inscribed words of prayer
    and read them out loud during rituals.
[09:48] Kaina
    What are rituals?
[09:49] Signkeeper
    Rituals are when people are in need
    of some great, unimaginable strength,
[09:58] Signkeeper
    so they surrender themselves
    to a higher power,
[10:01] Signkeeper
    and this, you know, energy would roar as
    it flowed into them and their surroundings!
[10:13] Signkeeper
    Something like that. Understand?
[10:16] Kaina
    Um...
[10:19] Signkeeper
    Back when there were other
    villages on the Canopy,
[10:23] Signkeeper
    we used to have these people
    called billboard readers.
[10:26] Signkeeper
    They went from village to village,
    collecting billboards and studying how to read them.
[10:34] Signkeeper
    As the spire trees began to dry up,
    the other villages started to crumble,
[10:42] Signkeeper
    and we thought we were the only
    village left in the entire world.
[10:49] Signkeeper
    But that's when we found
    a man collapsed outside.
[10:53] Signkeeper
    He was the last billboard reader.
[10:56] Kaina
    You learned how to read from him?
[11:00] Signkeeper
    That's right. Others made fun of me,
    saying that reading is useless, but—
[11:09] Kaina
    Hey, if that person came
    from another village,
[11:13] Kaina
    doesn't that mean there were
    other villages that survived?
[11:16] Signkeeper
    The billboard reader had been wandering
    alone because his village had perished.
[11:25] Signkeeper
    He said this was the only
    village with survivors.
[11:32] Signkeeper
    There is no one else on the Canopy.
[11:37] Kaina
    I see.
[11:39] Kaina
    What about in the Snow Sea?
[11:41] Signkeeper
    Snow Sea, you say?
[11:43] Kaina
    I saw a mass of light traveling slowly.
[11:47] Signkeeper
    Probably just a swarm of glow bugs.
[11:50] Kaina
    I don't think it was a swarm.
[11:52] Kaina
    If they aren't bugs, what would they be?
[11:55] Signkeeper
    No one knows what kind of
    creatures dwell in the Snow Sea.
[12:00] Kaina
    Maybe they're not creatures, but people.
[12:05] Signkeeper
    Are you saying that you
    want to go find out, Kaina?
[12:09] Kaina
    Huh? Um...
[12:12] Kaina
    No, don't worry about it. I was just curious.
[13:12] Jarge
    Princess Ririha, over there!
[13:16] Ririha
    You're right. I can't believe a
    floater is so close to the surface.
[13:19] Jarge
    It's a sign of how high the Snow Sea has risen.
[13:23] Ririha
    I suppose we should be thankful
    for the Snow Sea, just this once.
[13:26] Jarge
    Let's hurry, before it starts snowing!
[13:28] Ririha
    Right.
[13:29] Ririha
    Yah!
[13:35] Jarge
    Get ready!
[13:36] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[13:49] Tranada
    We can't do it! Commander Jarge,
     this is impossible!
[13:54] Jarge
    Our negotiation deadline with the
    Valghians is quickly approaching.
[13:56] Jarge
    If we don't do it now, we
    won't get another chance!
[13:59] Ririha
    This is the only way to reach the
    land where the sage resides. Please!
[14:03] Jarge
    Our thoughts are the same.
[14:05] Jarge
    We must take our chances with Princess
    Ririha's plan if we are to save Atland!
[14:09] Ririha
    Surely Father will understand.
[14:15] Ririha
    Look! The wind's pushing it down!
[14:18] Jarge
    Good, now we can make it!
[14:21] Atholl
    Princess Ririha, snow's starting to fall!
[14:23] Ririha
    This is bad...
[14:27] Ririha
    We're close!
[14:28] Tranada
    I can reach it this time!
[14:32] Tranada
    It's no good.
[14:33] Jarge
    Don't give up!
[14:40] Atholl
    Commander Jarge! A Valghian
    ship's on our tail!
[14:43] Ririha
    Of all the times...
[15:01] Jarge
    Get underneath it!
[15:05] Jarge
    Give it to me!
[15:06] Tranada
    Commander!
[15:14] Ririha
    He did it!
[15:42] Jarge
    Princess Ririha, this way!
[16:02] Tranada
    Crap!
[16:07] Atholl
    Commander, the ropes are tied!
[16:09] Jarge
    Cut the securing ropes! Princess
    Ririha, please get inside the basket!
[16:11] Ririha
    I shall fight with you!
[16:24] Ririha
    Atholl!
[16:33] Ririha
    Tranada!
[16:34] Jarge
    Please, get inside the basket!
[16:39] Ririha
    Jarge!
[16:46] Jarge
    Princess Ririha, forgive me!
[16:52] Ririha
    Watch out!
[16:54] Ririha
    Jarge!
[17:04] Jarge
    Princess Ririha...
[17:05] Jarge
    Please... Save Atland...
[17:46] Kaina
    That light must be...
[18:22] Ririha
    The sage's forest...
[19:09] Kaina
    I can't believe there's a hole here, too.
[19:18] Kaina
    There are loads of them.
[19:36] Kaina
    Huh?
[19:39] Kaina
    I've never seen a floater travel this high.
[19:49] Kaina
    Darn...
[19:51] Kaina
    Hm?
[19:57] Kaina
    Is that...
[19:59] Kaina
    A person?
[20:01] Kaina
    What?
[20:01] Kaina
    Oh, uh...
[20:04] Kaina
    Um, I know!
[20:30] Kaina
    No...
[21:08] Kaina
    What?!
