[01:38] ---
    Let us ever remember.
[01:40] ---
    The Shadows are an
    outstanding family of nobles.
[01:43] ---
    To serve them is the pride
    and joy of every living doll.
[04:35] ---
    Good morning, Mistress Kate.
[04:38] ---
    I'm the living doll who will
    be serving you starting today.
[04:44] ---
    Your name?
[04:45] ---
    Ma'am?
[04:46] ---
    You must be given a name.
[04:49] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:50] ---
    Katie, Kathy, Kat...
[04:53] ---
    No, perhaps not.
[04:57] ---
    Maybe later.
[04:58] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:30] ---
    "The Shadow and Her Doll"
[06:50] ---
    Could you not stare?
[06:52] ---
    Forgive me!
[07:03] ---
    Kate does not...
[07:04] ---
    Yes, Mistress Kate?
[07:06] ---
    Kate doesn't like
    looking people in the eye.
[07:09] ---
    If you looked at their forehead,
[07:11] ---
    wouldn't it seem like you
    were looking in their eyes?
[07:14] ---
    Like this?
[07:16] ---
    Well, it's not like you can tell.
[07:19] ---
    It looks like you're looking at me.
[07:22] ---
    You're just saying that.
[07:25] ---
    After all, no one can see a shadow's face.
[07:30] ---
    Excuse me, but...
[07:32] ---
    The soot? It emanates due to
    anger or other negative emotions.
[07:36] ---
    Are you angry right now?
[07:40] ---
    No. Anxious, perhaps.
[07:43] ---
    Anxious.
[07:49] ---
    Soot collects in nooks and crannies.
[07:51] ---
    I had no idea.
[07:58] ---
    You are staring again.
[08:00] ---
    That makes Kate more anxious than ever.
[08:03] ---
    Forgive me.
[08:14] ---
    She's anxious.
[08:16] ---
    I feel anxious, too, Mistress Kate.
[08:27] ---
    I can't read this.
    I can't read any of these.
[08:30] ---
    How will I ever be of
    service to Mistress Kate?
[08:47] ---
    Forgive me, Mistress Kate!
[08:50] ---
    What's done is done. Just clean it up.
[08:53] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[08:55] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[08:56] ---
    Kate is going to take a bath.
[08:58] ---
    Yes, ma'am! I'll finish
    cleaning up before you're done!
[09:06] ---
    My body isn't working right.
[09:09] ---
    Can I fix it by applying oil somewhere?
[09:20] ---
    If I break, will I be thrown out, too?
[09:23] ---
    No, no! I'm completely fine!
[09:25] ---
    I am as fit as a fiddle!
[09:34] ---
    I did it again.
[09:37] ---
    It seems dolls feel pain, too.
[09:47] ---
    Clothes are not for cleaning up spills.
[09:50] ---
    You're absolutely right.
[09:52] ---
    But I needed a big cloth.
    I don't mind looking like this.
[09:58] ---
    Listen. The Shadows family's
    living dolls are not mere servants.
[10:02] ---
    They were created to
    precisely mimic human beings.
[10:05] ---
    Without faces, it's hard to tell the
    members of the Shadows family apart.
[10:09] ---
    Living dolls, such as you,
    serve as our faces.
[10:13] ---
    As such, we cannot have you
    neglecting your appearance.
[10:16] ---
    Forgive me for bringing
    shame upon your family.
[10:20] ---
    There is so much you don't know,
    but you will gradually learn.
[10:24] ---
    Um...
[10:25] ---
    Yes?
[10:26] ---
    I'm a doll someone created, aren't I?
[10:30] ---
    That's right.
[10:31] ---
    Why are we created to look human?
[10:34] ---
    Perhaps because it allows
    you to move about, work,
[10:38] ---
    and serve as our faces.
[10:40] ---
    Mistress Kate, are you human?
[10:44] ---
    You ask too many questions.
[10:47] ---
    Forgive me.
[10:55] ---
    What is it? Are you all right?
[10:57] ---
    I think this might be it for me.
[11:00] ---
    I'm broken beyond repair.
[11:03] ---
    My body won't move.
[11:05] ---
    I can no longer fulfill my duties.
[11:08] ---
    I wish I could've had more
    time with you, Mistress Kate.
[11:11] ---
    This will not do.
    Without you, Kate cannot--
[11:18] ---
    Hmm?
[11:20] ---
    Now my body is making strange sounds.
[11:22] ---
    Have you eaten?
[11:23] ---
    No, I'm a doll.
[11:26] ---
    Food supplies the energy your body needs.
[11:29] ---
    It should be delivered
    to your room each day.
[11:32] ---
    Forgive me. It's my first day.
    I only ate a tiny bit.
[11:34] ---
    Well, eat more!
[11:36] ---
    I thought the rest was yours,
    so I left it on the cabinet.
[11:39] ---
    Wait there. Kate will bring you something.
[11:44] ---
    Mistress Kate...
[11:48] ---
    Wow! Is this all for me?
[11:52] ---
    It is.
[11:52] ---
    This is the bread you eat.
[11:55] ---
    It's not like the bread
    that's brought to my room.
[11:58] ---
    It's white, and soft,
    and so yummy looking!
[12:01] ---
    No! No matter how hungry I am,
[12:04] ---
    I don't want to become a doll so greedy
    she'd dare eat her mistress's bread!
[12:10] ---
    You are Kate's face, are you not?
[12:13] ---
    Yes.
[12:15] ---
    Kate would like to see what she looks
    like when eating something delicious.
[12:20] ---
    So that's part of my job, too?!
[12:22] ---
    Then I won't hold back!
[12:24] ---
    Thank you for this bread!
[12:29] ---
    What is it? Does such food
    not suit a living doll?
[12:32] ---
    It's so yummy!
[12:34] ---
    How can bread be this good?!
[12:36] ---
    It's so very, very delicious!
[12:39] ---
    Hmm? Mistress Kate, why do
    you suddenly seem so merry?
[12:44] ---
    It's quite amusing to see someone
    so delighted over some bread.
[12:48] ---
    But it's so delicious!
[12:52] ---
    This is just too yummy!
[12:56] ---
    Don't roll around while you eat!
[13:01] ---
    Kate is going to bed now.
[13:02] ---
    Thank you for cleaning all day.
[13:04] ---
    You're welcome, but I'm afraid
    I was nothing but trouble.
[13:08] ---
    I'm so very happy, and I thank you
    for bringing me such delicious bread.
[13:13] ---
    You're welcome. How do you feel now?
[13:16] ---
    I feel wonderful and full of energy!
[13:18] ---
    You sure are positive, aren't you?
[13:23] ---
    Did you forget already? Don't stare.
[13:26] ---
    Forgive me. The thought of not seeing
    you till tomorrow made me feel lonely.
[13:29] ---
    Huh?
[13:30] ---
    You're a strange one.
[13:33] ---
    Good night.
[14:03] ---
    Hmm?
[14:16] ---
    You made a sootman!
[14:19] ---
    How long have you been there?!
[14:20] ---
    From the very start! It's a masterpiece.
[14:23] ---
    It was merely to pass the time.
    There's nothing else to do.
[14:26] ---
    You may return to your room if you'd like.
[14:29] ---
    No! I enjoy watching you, Mistress Kate!
[14:33] ---
    It makes Kate uncomfortable
    to be stared at like that.
[14:40] ---
    Would you care to play a game of cards?
[14:43] ---
    May I?!
[14:49] ---
    Excuse me. How do you read this one?
[14:53] ---
    I can't read this one or this one, either.
[15:05] ---
    You taught me so much today. I'm so happy!
[15:08] ---
    I want to study even more
    so I may better serve you.
[15:11] ---
    You're right.
[15:13] ---
    If you get up to clean
    an hour earlier tomorrow,
[15:17] ---
    Kate will continue today's lesson.
[15:21] ---
    Hurray! That's wonderful!
[15:26] ---
    Mistress Kate taught me
    this letter. This one, too!
[15:30] ---
    So that's how you write this.
[15:34] ---
    It's kind of hard to read.
[15:37] ---
    But I'm sure I'll be able to read
    better tomorrow. I can't wait!
[15:45] ---
    I overslept!
[15:53] ---
    Good morning.
[15:58] ---
    Good morning.
[16:04] ---
    You're late.
[16:07] ---
    Kate is going to take a bath.
    Please clean up this mess.
[16:11] ---
    Yes, ma'am! I will do my best!
[16:20] ---
    You've made good progress.
[16:25] ---
    Mistress Kate! I could see your face!
[16:28] ---
    Please stay like that a moment.
[16:30] ---
    Perhaps your profile
    will tell me how you feel.
[16:34] ---
    Please smile.
[16:37] ---
    Like this?
[16:39] ---
    Could you try a big, loud laugh?
[16:42] ---
    Kate's never done that before.
[16:45] ---
    Like this.
[16:49] ---
    Amazing. Such laughter
    with no cause whatsoever.
[16:54] ---
    As you said, profiles are very important.
[16:57] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:02] ---
    I'm done cleaning.
[17:04] ---
    Well done.
[17:06] ---
    You're quite dirty. Go wash up and change.
[17:10] ---
    Then we'll have tea.
[17:11] ---
    Together with you?!
[17:13] ---
    I'll prepare at once!
[17:24] ---
    That's better!
[17:29] ---
    It's almost ready.
[17:32] ---
    You only washed what you
    saw in the mirror, didn't you?
[17:35] ---
    What?! Oh, forgive me!
[17:38] ---
    Come here. Let's wipe you off.
[17:41] ---
    I was wondering.
[17:42] ---
    Do all members of the Shadows
    family have a living doll like me?
[17:47] ---
    Though the timing differs,
[17:50] ---
    we all get a living doll as
    recognition of our coming of age.
[17:53] ---
    Oh, I see.
[17:57] ---
    What is it?
[17:58] ---
    I was wondering. Am I defective?
[18:02] ---
    Mistress Kate, you are so prim
    and proper, so utterly unlike me.
[18:07] ---
    Will I ever be beautiful?
[18:15] ---
    You can be made more ladylike.
[18:19] ---
    Kate is skilled at
    makeovers. Come sit here.
[18:23] ---
    Oh, no, forgive me.
    Please forget I ever said that.
[18:27] ---
    There's no need to make
    a fuss over me. I'll be fine.
[18:31] ---
    Kate wants to play with her doll. Sit.
[18:37] ---
    It's so sparkly!
[18:39] ---
    I wish I had one!
[18:40] ---
    It's a makeup box. You'll look
    beautiful if you learn how to use it.
[18:45] ---
    What's this?
[18:47] ---
    Powder for making your face
    look pretty. But you don't need it yet.
[18:52] ---
    I just had a wonderful idea!
[18:56] ---
    If you use this, maybe we'll
    be able to see your face.
[19:01] ---
    No! Don't!
[19:06] ---
    Forgive the raised voice, but
    Kate does not need such things.
[19:10] ---
    I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that.
[19:13] ---
    After all, I'm your face.
[19:18] ---
    You are Kate's cherished identity.
[19:21] ---
    I'm your identity?
    I wonder if I'm serving you well.
[19:26] ---
    I will just have to try harder!
[19:29] ---
    Be still.
[19:30] ---
    Forgive me.
[19:35] ---
    Maybe we should play dress-up, too.
[19:37] ---
    My clothes are in the room
    over there. Go try something on.
[19:40] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:44] ---
    How do I look?
[19:48] ---
    Actually, it is prohibited to dress up
    a living doll in a shadow's clothes.
[19:52] ---
    What?! I'll change at once!
[19:54] ---
    The reason is clear now.
    Dolls look like perfect human beings.
[20:00] ---
    That's not true!
[20:03] ---
    I don't notice when I get dirty,
    and my behavior is uncouth.
[20:08] ---
    Even if I wear a lovely outfit,
    I'll end up falling and ruining it.
[20:11] ---
    Mistress Kate, you're the one
    who made me look like this!
[20:16] ---
    I am your mirror.
[20:19] ---
    See? You're smiling!
[20:23] ---
    Do not presume to control Kate's emotions.
[20:26] ---
    Forgive me! I got carried away!
[20:28] ---
    That wasn't my intent.
    I just thought you were smiling.
[20:32] ---
    Oh, but you're not emitting soot.
[20:34] ---
    You no longer feel anxious around me.
[20:38] ---
    Perhaps you're right.
[20:43] ---
    You just laughed!
[20:45] ---
    It was as plain as day.
[20:48] ---
    You know what?
[20:49] ---
    Ma'am?
[20:50] ---
    You are still in need of a name.
    But it is so hard to decide.
[20:55] ---
    One idea is "Emily,"
    the heroine of this book.
[20:59] ---
    Emily? How wonderful!
[21:01] ---
    She's positive and cheerful just like you.
[21:04] ---
    I'm so happy!
[21:05] ---
    But you are rather
    strange and funny to watch.
[21:10] ---
    I'm funny?
[21:12] ---
    How about Emily with
    a twist? Maybe "Emilico"?
[21:16] ---
    Emilico.
[21:18] ---
    You don't approve?
[21:19] ---
    No, it's a wonderful name!
[21:22] ---
    Emilico. Starting from today,
    I'm Emilico. Hurray!
[21:27] ---
    Make us proud, Emilico...
[21:30] ---
    in your own special way.
[21:32] ---
    I'll try my hardest to be of
    service to you, Mistress Kate!
[21:35] ---
    Thank you so very much!
[21:46] ---
    Emilico.
[21:47] ---
    Ma'am?
[21:48] ---
    Isn't that spot outside?
[21:51] ---
    Outside?
[21:55] ---
    I wonder if there are other members
    of the Shadows family out there.

[00:09] ---
    Waking each morning, one finds
    black soot covering everything.
[00:14] ---
    Nightclothes are blackened.
[00:18] ---
    The bed is blackened.
[00:22] ---
    Whatever one touches...
[00:27] ---
    ...gets dirty.
[00:30] ---
    Dirty.
[00:32] ---
    Dirty.
[00:33] ---
    Dirty.
[00:35] ---
    Dirty.
[00:36] ---
    Dirty.
[00:37] ---
    Dirty.
[00:39] ---
    Dirty.
[00:40] ---
    Dirty.
[00:41] ---
    Dirty.
[00:42] ---
    Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty,
[00:45] ---
    dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty,
    dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty!
[02:22] ---
    I'm a living doll, and I'm here
    to serve Mistress Kate.
[02:27] ---
    I'm a living doll, and I'm here
    to serve Mistress Kate.
[02:36] ---
    Good morning!
[02:40] ---
    We always emit soot when we sleep,
    but this morning is worse than usual.
[02:45] ---
    It will be a chore to clean.
[02:48] ---
    I love to clean!
[02:51] ---
    I'm here to serve!
[03:06] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:07] ---
    Yes. I've grown quite used to my work!
[03:10] ---
    You have.
[03:12] ---
    It won't be long before you are
    summoned to clean outside this room.
[03:16] ---
    Outside this room?
[03:18] ---
    Yes, with the other living dolls.
[03:22] ---
    You will help clean the rest of the house.
[03:28] ---
    Me? Outside this room?
[05:08] ---
    "Outside the Room"
[05:14] ---
    I'm nervous. I've never done this before.
[05:22] ---
    Let's go. Come on.
[05:27] ---
    What's your name?
[05:28] ---
    I'm Emilico.
[05:30] ---
    I'm Mia from the room above.
    Nice to meet you.
[05:33] ---
    It's very nice to meet you, too.
[05:36] ---
    All right, then, follow me!
[05:38] ---
    O-Okay!
[05:42] ---
    Ever been outside of your rooms?
[05:44] ---
    It's my first time.
[05:45] ---
    Really? You're in for quite
    a surprise. It's truly amazing.
[05:49] ---
    Do you get along with your shadow master?
[05:52] ---
    Shadow master?
[05:53] ---
    That's what we call shadows
    when we don't know their names.
[05:57] ---
    So, Emilico, how would
    you describe yourself?
[06:00] ---
    Oh, um...
[06:03] ---
    You're the silent type.
    So you're like Lou?
[06:06] ---
    This way.
[06:25] ---
    See those beams?
[06:27] ---
    You can clean the ceiling from up there.
    It's fun to be up so high.
[06:39] ---
    There are so many living dolls!
[06:42] ---
    The house is so big, our cleaning duties
    never end, even with this many dolls!
[06:58] ---
    There you are.
[06:59] ---
    My, what an adorable new doll.
[07:03] ---
    This is our team leader, Rosemary.
    The quiet one is Lou.
[07:06] ---
    This is Emilico.
[07:10] ---
    The four of us will
    work together as a team.
[07:14] ---
    As the oldest, I was
    appointed as our leader.
[07:17] ---
    But there is no need to stand on ceremony.
[07:20] ---
    It's nice to meet you, Emilico.
[07:27] ---
    What's wrong, Emilico?!
[07:30] ---
    This is all quite a surprise.
[07:34] ---
    I didn't expect so many living dolls
    and such a huge area outside our rooms.
[07:41] ---
    I know what you mean.
[07:43] ---
    But don't worry.
    They are all very nice dolls.
[07:48] ---
    Well, most of them are.
[07:52] ---
    But this house really is huge, isn't it?
[07:55] ---
    That hallway goes on forever!
[07:58] ---
    It goes on forever?!
[08:00] ---
    No, not forever.
[08:04] ---
    Are we all supposed to
    clean that hallway, too?
[08:07] ---
    That's right.
[08:10] ---
    All the living dolls here?
[08:13] ---
    Yes.
[08:14] ---
    Will I get along with everyone?
[08:16] ---
    Emilico. You're a living doll.
    Don't fret over trivial matters.
[08:21] ---
    As long as we're diligent
    in our cleaning duties
[08:24] ---
    and serve the Shadows family well,
[08:27] ---
    we'll be happy, won't we?
[08:31] ---
    She's right, Emilico.
[08:34] ---
    Here are your cleaning kit and soot suit.
[08:37] ---
    Thank you.
[08:42] ---
    But you won't need your soot suit today.
    We're not doing a deep cleaning.
[08:47] ---
    They are your very own.
[08:50] ---
    You mean these are mine?!
[08:57] ---
    I am so happy.
[09:02] ---
    That's right. We are truly blessed!
[09:07] ---
    Though today we clean
[09:09] ---
    Tomorrow the soot will collect once more
[09:12] ---
    So let it collect
[09:14] ---
    For we shall again wipe it away
[09:17] ---
    Now, let's get to work
[09:22] ---
    Let's make ourselves useful
[09:26] ---
    Don't fret over trivial matters
[09:31] ---
    For the sake of the Shadows family
[09:36] ---
    Now, let's get to work
[09:41] ---
    Let's make ourselves useful
[09:45] ---
    Don't fret over trivial matters
[09:51] ---
    For the sake of the Shadows family
[10:02] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[10:04] ---
    You're covered in soot.
    You must have worked quite hard.
[10:09] ---
    About that...
[10:12] ---
    Look!
[10:15] ---
    Why are you baring your feet?
[10:17] ---
    It's like they were lying down on the job!
[10:40] ---
    I'm back.
[10:43] ---
    How was the soot remover?
[10:46] ---
    It was so powerful.
[10:48] ---
    I could barely breathe.
[10:51] ---
    But I'm fine now.
[10:52] ---
    It was fun cleaning outside of here.
[10:55] ---
    A living doll named Mia
[10:56] ---
    taught me so many new things!
[10:59] ---
    That's wonderful.
[11:01] ---
    Now, let's get to work
[11:05] ---
    Let's make ourselves useful
[11:10] ---
    Don't fret over trivial matters
[11:16] ---
    The book!
[11:18] ---
    What a relief. I didn't get
    the book or the floor wet.
[11:23] ---
    Emilico.
[11:24] ---
    That's...
[11:26] ---
    Oh, it was right there, so I used it to...
[11:29] ---
    Forgive me.
[11:32] ---
    Stuffed toys are never
    the same once they get wet.
[11:36] ---
    Um, shall I throw it away
    like I did the last time I--
[11:40] ---
    Leave it right there!
[11:45] ---
    Do what you will with
    whatever else you see here.
[11:50] ---
    But Kate treasures that stuffed toy!
[11:54] ---
    You don't treasure anything,
    so you wouldn't understand.
[11:58] ---
    M-Mistress Kate, I treasure you--
[12:00] ---
    Enough!
[12:02] ---
    Kate is going to take a bath.
[12:05] ---
    Forgive me, Mistress Kate.
    I'll do my best to clean up.
[12:25] ---
    It won't come off.
[12:28] ---
    "When soot will not come off,
[12:31] ---
    the shadow's... has... in..."
[12:39] ---
    I'll have Mistress Kate read this.
[12:44] ---
    Do what you will with
    whatever else you see here.
[12:47] ---
    But Kate treasures that stuffed toy!
[13:05] ---
    Living dolls must be of
    service to the Shadows family.
[13:11] ---
    Living dolls...
[13:13] ---
    must be of service to the Shadows family.
[13:56] ---
    Emilico.
[13:58] ---
    What are you doing?
[13:59] ---
    Forgive me for using
    this room without permission.
[14:04] ---
    Emilico, is that...?
[14:08] ---
    I tried...
[14:11] ---
    ...to fix it.
[14:14] ---
    Am I in trouble for not
    asking permission again?
[14:22] ---
    This is wonderful.
[14:27] ---
    Kate is sorry, Emilico.
[14:30] ---
    You were never told not to
    touch it. That is Kate's fault.
[14:35] ---
    Forgive the outburst.
[14:36] ---
    Don't be silly!
[14:38] ---
    What's that?
[14:40] ---
    I made my own stuffed toy
    while yours was drying.
[14:43] ---
    I'm going to treasure it.
[14:47] ---
    I named him Rolly.
[14:49] ---
    You really do love bread, don't you?
[14:52] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot!
    I had a question about cleaning.
[14:56] ---
    What about soot that won't come off?
[15:09] ---
    It came off.
[15:44] ---
    Rolly!
[15:47] ---
    Emilico!
[16:59] ---
    Emilico!
[17:06] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:08] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[17:09] ---
    Can you move?
[17:10] ---
    Yes. I didn't break anything.
[17:13] ---
    Mistress Kate, thank you for coming
    all the way down here to check on me!
[17:19] ---
    All right, we better hurry back.
[17:36] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[17:39] ---
    Oh my, who do we have here?
[17:41] ---
    You must not have had your debut yet.
[17:45] ---
    Hi, Mia!
[17:47] ---
    Mistress Kate,
[17:48] ---
    this is the living doll who taught me lots
    of things while we were cleaning!
[17:54] ---
    What's with this face
    speaking when it should not?
[17:58] ---
    Huh?
[18:00] ---
    Good day, Kate.
[18:02] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
    Sarah at your service.
[18:05] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[18:08] ---
    Oh dear, Kate. You've turned pale.
[18:14] ---
    Mistress Kate looks quite impressive!
[18:23] ---
    You could learn a lot from Sarah's face,
[18:27] ---
    Little Miss Failure.
[18:34] ---
    Where do you think you're going?
[18:37] ---
    You intend to ignore Sarah's advice?
[18:40] ---
    Tell us, Little Miss Failure.
[18:42] ---
    What sort of face is Sarah making now?
[18:46] ---
    You're... angry.
[18:48] ---
    That's right.
[18:50] ---
    How about Kate?
[18:51] ---
    Oh, dear. Kate, what's the matter?
[18:54] ---
    Oh, that's right. You have no face!
[18:56] ---
    What sort of expression
    are you making now?
[19:00] ---
    Are you even looking at Sarah?
[19:07] ---
    Perhaps this was a waste of time.
[19:10] ---
    Surely such a failed shadow and face
[19:13] ---
    will end up being discarded
    by our Lord Grandfather.
[19:18] ---
    Goodbye, Kate. You were lucky
    it was Sarah you came across.
[19:23] ---
    This little faux pas
    shall remain between us.
[19:29] ---
    Don't walk about with that face.
[19:31] ---
    Shadows must be more confident.
[19:35] ---
    Forgive me.
[19:40] ---
    Am I a failure? I've caused
    you nothing but trouble.
[19:47] ---
    It can't be helped.
    One cannot choose one's face.
[19:53] ---
    But, Emilico...
[19:56] ---
    you tried to protect
    that which you treasure.
[20:02] ---
    That is progress.
[20:06] ---
    Yes, Mistress Kate! I shall
    work hard to better serve you!
[20:10] ---
    I await your instructions!
[20:13] ---
    Okay, then. Take better care of yourself.
[20:25] ---
    I scraped my knee.
[20:29] ---
    It will heal faster if I go to bed early!
[20:39] ---
    Oh, no! I can't sleep!
[20:43] ---
    I should be sleepy, but
    there is so much on my mind.
[20:46] ---
    But living dolls are not supposed
    to fret over trivial matters.
[20:51] ---
    I know!
[20:56] ---
    I'll make a "don't fret" notebook
[20:58] ---
    of trivial matters I've
    thought about, then I'll forget them!
[21:01] ---
    First, I'm always worrying about
    how to better serve Kate.
[21:07] ---
    And I'm always wondering
    what the debut is.
[21:11] ---
    What else?
[21:13] ---
    The Lord Grandfather...
[21:18] ---
    Shadows House...
[21:24] ---
    I mustn't speak of such things!
[21:29] ---
    And yet, I wonder...
[21:39] ---
    What is Shadows House?
[23:15] ---
    Good night, Mistress Sarah.

[00:11] ---
    I have my first class today.
[00:14] ---
    We'll teach each other
    stuff we don't know.
[00:16] ---
    There's so much I still don't know
    about Shadows House. I can hardly wait!
[00:23] ---
    However...
[00:26] ---
    Oh!
[00:28] ---
    Mia.
[00:30] ---
    U-Um...
[00:33] ---
    Emilico! Good morning!
[00:35] ---
    Huh?
[00:38] ---
    What's wrong?
[00:39] ---
    Still half-asleep?
[00:44] ---
    I thought you didn't like me.
[00:47] ---
    You mean the last time we met?
    Those were Sarah's emotions.
[00:51] ---
    You have a lot to learn.
[00:53] ---
    Oh...
[00:55] ---
    Did I miss something?
[00:58] ---
    It's our little secret, isn't it?
[01:02] ---
    Everyone is here.
[01:05] ---
    Let the class begin.
[01:07] ---
    But let us dispense with the formalities.
[01:10] ---
    We shall give Emilico
    a tour of the house today.
[01:14] ---
    Okay!
[02:46] ---
    "The Soot Sickness"
[02:48] ---
    First, the hall of cleaning implements.
[02:51] ---
    One might call this
    a gathering spot for living dolls.
[02:54] ---
    After we cleaned the great hall,
    I put my broom away here!
[02:58] ---
    Mine is...
[03:00] ---
    this one!
[03:01] ---
    That's right.
[03:02] ---
    Next time, you can come get it yourself.
[03:05] ---
    Are these for cleaning, too?
[03:08] ---
    We use them in emergencies.
    But that doesn't happen too often.
[03:13] ---
    Hmm?
[03:16] ---
    Where do those stairs go?
[03:19] ---
    To the kitchen and laundry.
[03:21] ---
    Lou, do you know who works there?
[03:24] ---
    The veiled dolls.
    There's no need for us to go there.
[03:28] ---
    That's right. Well done.
[03:30] ---
    Emilico, you need not give any
    thought to such places, either.
[03:37] ---
    This is the classroom!
[03:38] ---
    Will I learn my letters here?
[03:41] ---
    Let's do that next time.
[03:46] ---
    This is Shadows House's...
[03:48] ---
    That's right. This house
    has different floors.
[03:52] ---
    The living dolls' rooms are below
    the Shadows family's living quarters.
[03:58] ---
    What's this?
[03:59] ---
    That is a portrait. You wear
    it when serving as a face.
[04:04] ---
    The arms and legs are covered
    in lace so your face will stand out.
[04:08] ---
    It's a living doll's formal attire.
[04:10] ---
    You will wear it after the debut.
[04:13] ---
    The debut?
[04:14] ---
    It's yet to come for you and Lou.
[04:17] ---
    Lou hasn't done it yet, either?
[04:21] ---
    This is the great hall,
    which we cleaned last time.
[04:24] ---
    Huh?
[04:27] ---
    Hmm?
[04:35] ---
    The soot is already collecting.
    Shall we clean it up?
[04:38] ---
    Oh my!
[04:40] ---
    Your sharp eye is impressive!
[04:42] ---
    I think I'm going to like you!
[04:45] ---
    But you need not fret
    over such a small amount.
[04:48] ---
    Ordinarily, we would clean it up,
    but our lesson takes precedence today!
[04:52] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:00] ---
    Lou, can you tell us
    where that hallway leads?
[05:04] ---
    The debut hall.
[05:05] ---
    Yes, that is correct. Very good!
[05:08] ---
    Um, what do we do during the debut?
[05:11] ---
    It is a very important ceremony.
[05:14] ---
    The competency of both
    shadow and doll will be judged.
[05:16] ---
    And whether they will be
    an asset to the Shadows family.
[05:20] ---
    Once a Shadows family member debuts,
    they are said to have a face.
[05:24] ---
    That is a sign of adulthood.
[05:26] ---
    Oh, so then Mistress Kate
    is not yet an adult?
[05:30] ---
    Right. You might say
    she is in her trial period.
[05:35] ---
    Do debuts ever not go so well?
[05:41] ---
    Forgive me, but we're not supposed
    to discuss any details about the debut.
[05:45] ---
    All we can say is do the best you can.
[05:52] ---
    Are there any dolls
    older than you, Rosemary?
[05:55] ---
    Why, of course there are.
[05:58] ---
    They're in another wing of the house.
[06:00] ---
    It's where the lords live.
[06:03] ---
    You mustn't fret over trivial matters.
[06:07] ---
    Living dolls must feel nothing but
    loyalty toward the Shadows family.
[06:12] ---
    You must remember that.
[06:14] ---
    How go your sentiments
    toward the Shadows family,
[06:16] ---
    so they go toward each shadow master.
[06:18] ---
    Abide by this, and we shall be happy.
[06:22] ---
    But living dolls that
    are not loyal and useful
[06:24] ---
    will be discarded.
[06:28] ---
    Discarded?
[06:29] ---
    Come to think of it, Lord Grandfather--
[06:34] ---
    Only the members of the
    Shadows family call him that.
[06:38] ---
    We call him the Lord of Shadows
    House and the Shadows Family,
[06:42] ---
    Father of All Living Dolls,
[06:45] ---
    The Grand Creator.
[06:48] ---
    But those words must
    seldom pass your lips.
[06:50] ---
    Such an eminent name will be tainted
    if those of our standing speak it.
[06:57] ---
    Did I say more than I should have?
[07:00] ---
    It's the emergency bell. That means...
[07:04] ---
    A phantom.
[07:07] ---
    A phantom?
[07:09] ---
    To the hall of cleaning implements!
[07:18] ---
    Mia, how do I put this on?
[07:21] ---
    Your soot suit is fine for now. Hurry!
[07:24] ---
    This is for places that
    are thick with soot.
[07:29] ---
    But it obscures your vision.
    We must use our tools properly.
[07:34] ---
    A phantom? As in that thing
    we heard of? They really do exist?
[07:38] ---
    This is my first time, too.
[07:40] ---
    What thing?
[07:41] ---
    A cluster of scorches.
[07:43] ---
    What's a scorch?
[07:45] ---
    A scorch is soot that gathers together
    and begins to move with ill intent.
[07:50] ---
    Soot... that moves?
[07:56] ---
    What is that?!
[08:04] ---
    What now?
[08:05] ---
    Let's wait for the
    Star Bearer's instructions.
[08:08] ---
    Get to work, you sluggards!
[08:11] ---
    It's the doll I saw the other day.
[08:12] ---
    This problem won't fix itself!
[08:14] ---
    Barbie! We brought the hammers. What now?
[08:17] ---
    Smash it to bits, you maggots!
[08:31] ---
    Are you all right?
[08:32] ---
    Rose, you dimwit!
[08:34] ---
    Is your whole team
    made up of dimwits, too?!
[08:37] ---
    The rest of you worthless fools,
    smash those scorches!
[08:43] ---
    Emilico, let's get 'em!
[08:44] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[08:53] ---
    That Star Bearer truly
    is a horrible creature.
[08:56] ---
    Star Bearers are very important dolls,
[08:59] ---
    and scorches are soot that
    gathered and started to move.
[09:02] ---
    And if even more gather,
    they form a phantom.
[09:07] ---
    Save it for later. This isn't a classroom!
[09:13] ---
    Where did it hide?
[09:18] ---
    I think it's behind this painting.
[09:21] ---
    I want you to poke it from that side.
[09:23] ---
    I'll smack it when it comes out.
[09:25] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:26] ---
    You two sure are quick.
[09:30] ---
    Look out!
[09:37] ---
    Rosemary!
[09:42] ---
    Smack it! Smack it!
[09:44] ---
    No, Lou! Not Rose!
    Smack the soot on her head!
[09:52] ---
    She collapsed!
[09:54] ---
    We must remove it quickly!
[09:57] ---
    There's one over here, too!
[10:27] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:29] ---
    She'll hang to death!
[10:33] ---
    Stop kicking, Rose!
[10:36] ---
    Please! Not my face!
[10:39] ---
    Water.
[10:40] ---
    Huh?
[10:41] ---
    Pouring water on scorches
    makes them slow and brittle.
[10:45] ---
    I read it in the manual.
[10:48] ---
    Cleaning spray.
[10:54] ---
    It worked! Try some more!
[11:01] ---
    Lou! It won't reach!
[11:03] ---
    This is all I have in my cleaning kit.
[11:06] ---
    I'll go fill up a bucket!
[11:08] ---
    It's too far. You won't make it in time.
[11:10] ---
    Enough of this!
[11:11] ---
    I'm going to let go
    before she scars my face!
[11:15] ---
    I don't like making choices.
[11:17] ---
    Emilico, which one would
    you save, Mia or Rosemary?
[11:29] ---
    Emilico!
[11:43] ---
    Ow, ow, ow.
[11:46] ---
    What a relief. The scorch came off.
[11:50] ---
    We're supposed to clean up,
    yet you made a mess with that water.
[11:55] ---
    F-Forgive me!
[11:56] ---
    That never occurred to me.
[11:59] ---
    You're amazing, Emilico.
[12:03] ---
    Mistress Kate is always scolding me
    for tipping over vases full of water.
[12:09] ---
    You never think outside the box, Lou.
[12:16] ---
    Rosemary?
[12:33] ---
    Rosemary?
[12:35] ---
    It's the soot sickness.
[12:36] ---
    The first-aid team will handle it.
[12:42] ---
    We must have her drink
    a large quantity of water.
[12:45] ---
    Let's take her to the washroom.
[12:47] ---
    Put her to sleep.
[12:52] ---
    We better clean up all this soot.
[12:55] ---
    You're right.
[12:59] ---
    Rosemary.
[13:01] ---
    We never finished today's lesson,
    but I learned something important.
[13:06] ---
    We must always be diligent in our cleaning
[13:10] ---
    so that soot can't collect
    and start moving.
[13:31] ---
    Good morning, Rolly.
[13:35] ---
    Y-You moved!
[13:38] ---
    Rolly, I'm right here. Come to me!
[13:42] ---
    Huh?
[13:45] ---
    That's strange.
[13:47] ---
    I just saw you move.
[13:51] ---
    What's wrong, Emilico?
    Didn't get enough sleep?
[13:53] ---
    Yes, ma'am. I didn't
    sleep well last night.
[13:57] ---
    I'm not surprised, considering
    that scare on your first day of class.
[14:01] ---
    It shocked even me.
[14:03] ---
    Is Rosemary going to be all right?
[14:05] ---
    She'll be fine. She was
    still moving, after all.
[14:08] ---
    And it's Rose we're talking about.
[14:12] ---
    She'll say something like,
    "That was so embarrassing,"
[14:14] ---
    and be back before you know it.
[14:18] ---
    But enough about that.
    Today, we have something fun in store!
[14:23] ---
    We will wash ourselves
    squeaky clean in the washroom.
[14:26] ---
    Each bath is made for two.
[14:29] ---
    Emilico, you can go in with me.
[14:31] ---
    Lou, you go find someone else.
[14:34] ---
    But first...
[14:36] ---
    Huh?
[14:41] ---
    I'll never get used to that.
[14:44] ---
    It makes me dizzy.
[14:49] ---
    This feels so good!
[14:50] ---
    Is this the same stuff used for cleaning?
[14:52] ---
    It's a special type of soap for dolls.
[14:55] ---
    I was scared.
[14:56] ---
    I thought water would
    get inside me, and I'd break.
[15:01] ---
    Don't worry. Living dolls
    are finely crafted.
[15:05] ---
    Does "finely crafted"
    mean we're built to last?
[15:10] ---
    Something like that.
[15:11] ---
    Come to think of it, you don't
    know many words, do you?
[15:15] ---
    That's right. I'm still
    learning my letters.
[15:19] ---
    I was able to read when I was born.
[15:22] ---
    You could?
[15:23] ---
    It seems the starting
    line differs for each doll.
[15:27] ---
    I was born brilliant.
[15:29] ---
    Mistress Sarah was quite delighted
    when I came to serve as her face.
[15:33] ---
    And you?
[15:34] ---
    Mistress Kate is always scolding me.
[15:38] ---
    Well, consider yourself lucky.
    I will teach you all sorts of things.
[15:43] ---
    Hurray! I can hardly wait!
[15:45] ---
    What do we do here?
[16:01] ---
    You didn't warn me.
[16:04] ---
    It was just a little prank.
[16:05] ---
    Forgive me!
[16:09] ---
    All right, we're even now! Stop!
[16:18] ---
    Did you enjoy your cleaning?
[16:20] ---
    Even better things await as your
    shadow master's standing rises.
[16:26] ---
    There's Lou!
[16:29] ---
    Rosemary!
[16:31] ---
    Are you all better now?
[16:33] ---
    Yes, but I had quite a fright.
[16:36] ---
    I had heard of the soot sickness,
    but to think I would contract it.
[16:40] ---
    What is the soot sickness?
[16:43] ---
    It occurs when scorches enter the body.
[16:46] ---
    If left untreated,
    the afflicted doll will break.
[16:48] ---
    It is quite dreadful.
[16:50] ---
    But with swift treatment,
    one need not worry.
[16:52] ---
    We have an excellent first-aid team.
[16:54] ---
    You must drink plenty of water.
[16:57] ---
    Indeed. You must flush out all the soot.
[17:00] ---
    It is so much water,
    you never want to drink again.
[17:02] ---
    So you're all better now! I'm so glad!
[17:06] ---
    This just won't do.
[17:07] ---
    I wished to show what
    a fine team leader I could be.
[17:12] ---
    That was so embarrassing.
[17:20] ---
    Did I say something funny?
[17:23] ---
    And then Rosemary came back,
    and she was completely fine.
[17:27] ---
    The first-aid team is the best!
[17:29] ---
    I'm so glad the four of us will
    be able to clean together again.
[17:32] ---
    Oh, that's wonderful.
[17:35] ---
    Is something wrong?
[17:37] ---
    Kate has never heard of a phantom.
[17:40] ---
    Oh, forgive me. I didn't mean
    to keep talking like that.
[17:44] ---
    No, it's quite all right.
[17:46] ---
    However...
[17:47] ---
    As you've been told before,
[17:49] ---
    if you move things while cleaning,
    put them back where you found them.
[17:54] ---
    Forgive me! I hadn't noticed!
[17:57] ---
    What was it I moved?
[18:00] ---
    That stuffed toy wasn't where it belongs.
[18:03] ---
    Yours, too, Mistress Kate?!
[18:05] ---
    My Rolly moved on his own, too!
[18:08] ---
    You may correct your failings,
    but excuses will not be tolerated.
[18:13] ---
    B-But I saw it happen!
[18:17] ---
    Living dolls can move,
    so stuffed toys should be--
[18:21] ---
    They're not the same thing!
[18:29] ---
    It flew.
[18:30] ---
    I knew it! Stuffed toys can move!
[18:33] ---
    It is the power of our Lord Grandfather
    that breathes life into living dolls.
[18:38] ---
    Dolls and toys couldn't
    possibly move on their own.
[18:41] ---
    Then perhaps you, too,
    have great power, Mistress Kate.
[18:46] ---
    Why don't you try and make Rolly move?
[18:50] ---
    Is such a thing possible?
[18:59] ---
    It truly was Kate.
[19:01] ---
    I knew it!
[19:02] ---
    To think such a thing was possible...
[19:05] ---
    But nothing else moves
    besides stuffed toys.
[19:10] ---
    Why stuffed toys?
[19:12] ---
    Rolly and Kate's stuffed toy...
[19:15] ---
    I sewed them up.
[19:16] ---
    Oh, I know! It's the soot!
[19:19] ---
    Mistress Kate, you can make soot move!
[19:21] ---
    But it was the stuffed toys that moved.
[19:24] ---
    Actually, I stuffed Rolly with
    the soot from your sootman.
[19:29] ---
    What? Why would you do that?
[19:31] ---
    I didn't have any spare cotton.
[19:33] ---
    Plus...
[19:35] ---
    I wanted to put something
    I treasure into something I cherish.
[19:39] ---
    Now I'll always feel like you are nearby.
[19:43] ---
    To think you'd use a sootman
    Kate made in that manner...
[19:47] ---
    You're weird.
[19:49] ---
    D-Did I do something wrong?!
[19:51] ---
    Never mind. Just clean up.
[19:53] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:56] ---
    Soot is emitted due to negative feelings.
[19:59] ---
    That's why scorches
    begin moving with ill intent.
[20:02] ---
    But soot can also be made to move
    on purpose like Mistress Kate did.
[20:07] ---
    Why can Mistress Kate make soot move?
[20:10] ---
    And that phantom we saw...
    Was someone making it move?
[20:14] ---
    And the lords in the
    other wing of the house...
[20:18] ---
    Living dolls must feel nothing but
    loyalty toward the Shadows family!
[20:23] ---
    I mustn't fret over trivial matters!
[20:28] ---
    You rang, Mistress Kate?
[20:35] ---
    Wow! I can't believe you can
    already control it like that!
[20:38] ---
    But only for a short time.
[20:40] ---
    It's still amazing!
[20:42] ---
    I can't wait to tell the other
    living dolls what you can do!
[20:47] ---
    That is why Kate summoned you.
[20:48] ---
    Tell no one about this, at least not yet.
[20:52] ---
    Shadow lore says
    nothing about such things.
[20:55] ---
    We must be careful.
[20:57] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[20:59] ---
    The debut draws near,
    and there is so much to learn.
[21:02] ---
    But shadows mustn't
    leave their room before then.
[21:05] ---
    We must study using what books we have.
[21:08] ---
    Living dolls are allowed
    to gather, but not shadows?
[21:13] ---
    That's right. But we could learn more from
    one another by exchanging information.
[21:17] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:19] ---
    We shall have to study together.
[21:21] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:24] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[21:26] ---
    You're quite weary.
[21:29] ---
    We'll begin our studies tomorrow.
[21:32] ---
    Forgive me.
[23:05] ---
    How many candidates remain?
[23:08] ---
    We must cull the failed fruit with haste.
[23:11] ---
    Let us hope it's as fun as last time.
[23:14] ---
    Edward, how goes the debut preparations?
[23:17] ---
    All shall be ready soon.
[23:19] ---
    Please leave it to me.
[23:21] ---
    The debut... It's my big chance now
    that I've been chosen as judge.
[23:26] ---
    I will give the third-floor lords
    a show they won't forget.
[23:29] ---
    Perhaps I'll even rise to the third floor
    if Lord Grandfather notices me.
[23:35] ---
    The candidates are of no consequence.
[23:37] ---
    What matters is that
    this goes as I planned.

[00:09] ---
    Shut your pieholes!
[00:13] ---
    What happened?
[00:14] ---
    Why are we here?
[00:16] ---
    Today, we're being blessed
    with a Star Bearer's wisdom.
[00:21] ---
    This is about that phantom mayhem.
[00:24] ---
    One of your teams' lazy
    cleaning habits caused this!
[00:28] ---
    I'm here to question you until
    we get to the bottom of it!
[02:03] ---
    "Watchers in the Night"
[02:06] ---
    All right, next!
[02:08] ---
    Get back to cleaning if I'm done with you!
[02:11] ---
    Next, we have dimwitted Rose.
[02:14] ---
    It was your team that
    let those scorches slip by.
[02:16] ---
    Explain yourself!
[02:18] ---
    That wasn't a matter
    of anything slipping by.
[02:21] ---
    We were holding class that day, and--
[02:23] ---
    You're always rambling!
[02:26] ---
    You people were neglecting
    your cleaning duties!
[02:29] ---
    Our newest member, Emilico,
    was still being trained.
[02:33] ---
    And we had never faced such a disturbance,
    hence our delayed response.
[02:37] ---
    But we dealt with it accordingly.
[02:39] ---
    We did not neglect our cleaning.
[02:41] ---
    I'd be happy to submit
    our work for your inspection.
[02:44] ---
    I understand perfectly now.
[02:50] ---
    This whole team is a bunch of dimwits.
[02:53] ---
    Watch it, bigmouth!
    I was talking to your team leader.
[02:57] ---
    You kicked her! How mean!
[03:03] ---
    You're the one who was
    waving at me from that window.
[03:07] ---
    I see you're one of those sunshiney types.
    You think I'm mean?
[03:12] ---
    Are you criticizing how I do my job?
[03:16] ---
    Barbie, look out!
[03:18] ---
    Are you hurt?
[03:20] ---
    You maggot!
[03:21] ---
    How dare you bump into me?!
[03:25] ---
    Forgive me. My eyesight is poor.
    It was not my intention to bump into you.
[03:30] ---
    Wear glasses if you
    have trouble seeing people!
[03:33] ---
    My master doesn't wear glasses,
    so wouldn't it be odd for me to?
[03:38] ---
    You dare talk back to me?
[03:45] ---
    That's no way to speak to Barbie.
    She's a Star Bearer!
[03:48] ---
    You're the black sheep of our team.
[03:54] ---
    What now?!
[03:58] ---
    F-For... Forgive me.
[04:00] ---
    F-F-Forgive me.
[04:02] ---
    You.
[04:05] ---
    You're the most inept of all.
[04:08] ---
    You're always dropping things and
    scattering the soot you've collected.
[04:12] ---
    I've read the reports.
[04:15] ---
    You can't fool me.
[04:18] ---
    That phantom mayhem was your fault!
[04:21] ---
    That's not--
[04:24] ---
    She's part of your team,
    isn't she? Please help her!
[04:27] ---
    What?
[04:28] ---
    Why? The truth is we cannot do a thing.
[04:32] ---
    Plus, she has been nothing
    but trouble for our team.
[04:35] ---
    B-But all the blame will be pinned on her.
[04:38] ---
    Someone must take the blame.
    It might as well be her.
[04:42] ---
    A doll as inept as her won't
    make it past the debut anyway.
[04:46] ---
    She is a failure.
[04:50] ---
    Please, Barbie, don't!
[04:52] ---
    You again?
[04:54] ---
    There must be an explanation.
[04:57] ---
    An explanation?
[04:59] ---
    All right, in that case...
[05:02] ---
    Sunshine,
[05:04] ---
    Good-for-Nothing,
[05:05] ---
    Black Sheep!
[05:06] ---
    Huh?
[05:07] ---
    She means you.
[05:08] ---
    I hereby assign you
    three to the night watch.
[05:11] ---
    I'll see that your rooms
    are left unlocked.
[05:14] ---
    I'll report your ineptness to the adults
    in the other wing if you fail.
[05:19] ---
    What is your name?
[05:20] ---
    I'm Ricky.
[05:22] ---
    Out of all the new dolls,
    you're the only promising one.
[05:26] ---
    Thank you.
[05:27] ---
    Everyone, back to your cleaning!
[05:30] ---
    Your work is not done!
[05:32] ---
    We're not done because of Barbie.
    She's abusing the new dolls!
[05:36] ---
    And, Emilico, no good will
    come of standing up for others.
[05:40] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[05:41] ---
    You really should avoid provoking Barbie.
[05:45] ---
    Her shadow master is
    a very important figure.
[05:48] ---
    Still, it is nothing
    you need to fret over.
[05:51] ---
    Barbie will soon lose interest in this.
[06:13] ---
    Oh, welcome back, Emilico.
[06:15] ---
    It's good to be back, Mistress Kate.
[06:18] ---
    Might you be available tonight?
[06:21] ---
    It would be nice to study together.
[06:23] ---
    Oh, forgive me. Tonight,
    I have work outside your room.
[06:29] ---
    But I would love to some other time!
[06:32] ---
    Is that so? Be careful out there.
[06:35] ---
    Yes, ma'am! But before that,
    I'll clean your room until it sparkles!
[06:55] ---
    Really? A Star Bearer already praised you?
    That's quite impressive, Ricky.
[07:00] ---
    There's this one doll who's
    the black sheep of our team.
[07:04] ---
    But I showed him his place,
    and none too gently.
[07:08] ---
    Excellent work.
[07:10] ---
    I simply did what was befitting
    of your face, Master Patrick.
[07:30] ---
    Good evening, I'm Emilico.
    Let's do the best job we can!
[07:35] ---
    So, what are your names?
[07:41] ---
    I'm Shaun.
[07:43] ---
    Well, um, shall we start our watch?
[07:47] ---
    We'll find something if we look around!
[07:49] ---
    "Something," you say? As if new
    dolls like us could solve anything.
[07:53] ---
    We have plenty of time before
    the major house cleaning in one week.
[07:57] ---
    We'll do just fine.
[08:06] ---
    Nothing unusual in this room.
[08:10] ---
    Huh? Where's Shaun?
[08:14] ---
    Oh, there he is.
[08:16] ---
    We're over here!
[08:21] ---
    Oh, right. You can't see very well.
[08:23] ---
    That wasn't me you saw.
[08:26] ---
    What?!
[08:27] ---
    Oh, no. Now that other
    doll is falling behind.
[08:52] ---
    Nothing unusual here, either.
[08:54] ---
    Wait. Did we already look in here?
[09:01] ---
    How is this watch duty
    going to help my master?
[09:13] ---
    Let's do our best again tomorrow.
[10:14] ---
    This is our fifth night.
[10:15] ---
    I really hope we can get to the
    bottom of that phantom mayhem.
[10:22] ---
    Shaun!
[10:23] ---
    Did you bring something that might help?
[10:26] ---
    Blankets.
[10:27] ---
    Blankets? What for?
[10:30] ---
    To sleep.
[10:30] ---
    But why?
[10:32] ---
    They lock our doors
    once we leave our rooms.
[10:35] ---
    So I'll sleep here till our time is up.
[10:37] ---
    But we only have until
    the day after tomorrow.
[10:40] ---
    Barbie just wants to sow discord
    between our masters and us.
[10:44] ---
    My daily cleaning is starting
    to suffer from my lack of sleep.
[10:48] ---
    And you, Emilico?
[10:50] ---
    I did Mistress Kate a disservice
    by oversleeping this morning.
[10:54] ---
    B-But blaming it on someone
    else without reason isn't right!
[10:59] ---
    We are our masters' faces. How can we
    fulfill our role if we look all worn out?
[11:05] ---
    I only take my master's
    instructions seriously.
[11:08] ---
    Please don't give up yet!
[11:10] ---
    I brought something that will help.
[11:13] ---
    It's a map! Mia from
    our team drew it for me.
[11:20] ---
    Let's look around together.
[11:22] ---
    Wait.
[11:23] ---
    So then you will help us?
[11:26] ---
    I brought blankets for both of you.
[11:29] ---
    Sleep if you want.
    That's all I have to say.
[11:32] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[11:36] ---
    Shall we sleep, then?
[11:37] ---
    It's true, we shouldn't overdo it.
[11:43] ---
    I'm not used to this.
    It's hard to fall asleep.
[11:46] ---
    The ceiling is so high.
[11:48] ---
    And I've never had anyone
    next to me as I fall asleep.
[11:52] ---
    You're right, Shaun.
    It's also important to sleep.
[11:57] ---
    And you may try to hide it,
    but I can tell you care about us.
[12:01] ---
    After all, you helped me
    during Barbie's scolding.
[12:05] ---
    I only did it because she irritated me.
[12:12] ---
    I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[12:15] ---
    L-Let's forget about watch duty.
[12:18] ---
    I'm nothing but trouble for you two.
[12:22] ---
    I-It's because I'm a failure.
[12:26] ---
    Nobody even needs me.
[12:29] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:31] ---
    Hurray!
[12:32] ---
    I'm so glad you finally spoke!
[12:35] ---
    You're no trouble.
[12:37] ---
    I'm so happy I became
    friends with you and Shaun.
[12:42] ---
    I've also been called a failure.
[12:46] ---
    But Mistress Kate protects me anyway.
[12:50] ---
    Somebody needs you.
    There isn't anyone who isn't needed.
[12:55] ---
    I want to be friends with you.
[12:59] ---
    I want to be friends
    with you, too, of course!
[13:01] ---
    Um, what I mean is...
[13:04] ---
    Rum.
[13:06] ---
    My name is Rum.
[13:11] ---
    Rum!
[13:12] ---
    What a wonderful name!
[13:19] ---
    Hey.
[13:20] ---
    Something's coming.
[13:29] ---
    Could it be a phantom?
[13:43] ---
    Rum!
[13:44] ---
    Shaun, it's a phantom! Let's run!
[13:46] ---
    No, wait.
[13:51] ---
    It's a veiled doll.
[13:54] ---
    What's a veiled doll?
[13:56] ---
    You've never seen one before?
[13:58] ---
    They bring us our food and clean clothes.
[14:01] ---
    Oh, so that's who does that!
[14:03] ---
    Thank you for all your help!
[14:06] ---
    We're trying to get to the
    bottom of the phantom mayhem.
[14:09] ---
    Don't waste your breath.
    Unlike us, veiled dolls don't speak.
[14:14] ---
    It most likely heard our voices
    and came to see what's going on.
[14:18] ---
    Oh! We better go after Rum!
[14:25] ---
    Where am I?
[14:28] ---
    Please talk to me, Rummy.
    I'm scared of the dark.
[14:32] ---
    Rum, do you think they will come save you?
[14:36] ---
    Who do you mean?
[14:37] ---
    That doll.
[14:39] ---
    She's not coming. The phantom got her.
[14:43] ---
    Even if it didn't, she won't come.
[14:46] ---
    I left them behind and ran.
[14:49] ---
    Still, I have a feeling
    she will come for you.
[14:53] ---
    Living dolls are expendable.
    Only the outstanding ones last very long.
[14:58] ---
    It wouldn't make sense for her
    to care about another doll.
[15:01] ---
    Wouldn't you be happy if she did come?
[15:04] ---
    Happy? I don't know
    what it feels like to be happy.
[15:10] ---
    Rum? Where are you? Rum?
[15:14] ---
    Rum?
[15:15] ---
    You're a strange one.
[15:18] ---
    Strange? Mistress Kate said that, too!
[15:21] ---
    "Fret not over trivial matters."
[15:23] ---
    That's one of the rules living dolls
    learn from the time they are born.
[15:27] ---
    We live for the sake of our masters.
    It's pointless to worry about other dolls.
[15:32] ---
    It seems I'm not an outstanding doll.
[15:35] ---
    You're right, Shaun.
[15:37] ---
    I should only concern
    myself with Mistress Kate.
[15:40] ---
    But the way you defied Barbie
    wasn't a good idea, either, was it?
[15:44] ---
    It's true.
[15:46] ---
    That was of no benefit to my master.
[15:49] ---
    I'm not an outstanding doll, either.
[15:54] ---
    Would you like a roll?
[15:58] ---
    Why do you have a roll in your pocket?
[16:02] ---
    Shaun, you smiled!
[16:04] ---
    What do you mean?
[16:05] ---
    I thought your face might be ceramic.
[16:08] ---
    Our expressions are for our masters.
[16:12] ---
    But your cheeks will harden
    if you don't move your face.
[16:16] ---
    You have a point.
[16:19] ---
    There's still no sign of Rum.
[16:23] ---
    What about that map of yours?
[16:26] ---
    Oh, I forgot about that!
[16:29] ---
    We've already searched the great hall.
[16:32] ---
    We still haven't tried
[16:34] ---
    the hallway that leads to the front door.
[16:46] ---
    Mia left a note saying
    we mustn't go there.
[16:50] ---
    I'm not surprised.
[16:51] ---
    Venturing outside the house,
[16:53] ---
    let alone entering this hallway,
    is strictly forbidden.
[16:58] ---
    Nevertheless, I'm going.
    We must find Rum before dawn!
[17:20] ---
    Wait!
[17:28] ---
    Does this mean that all who try to leave
    Shadows House are immediately eliminated?
[17:34] ---
    Would they really go so far?
[17:36] ---
    Living dolls have thoughts and feelings
[17:38] ---
    and wish to be of service
    to their shadow masters.
[17:43] ---
    "Fret not over trivial matters."
[17:46] ---
    That's a rule living dolls must follow.
[17:49] ---
    Let's head back. There's no way
    Rum made it through this hallway.
[17:57] ---
    Rum!
[17:58] ---
    It came from behind this wall!
    Show me the map!
[18:03] ---
    I don't see a door that leads there.
[18:06] ---
    A door?
[18:12] ---
    I know how to get there!
[18:15] ---
    Huh?
[18:16] ---
    It's just like our rooms!
[18:23] ---
    So that's it! A revolving door!
[18:27] ---
    Emilico! Did you find anything?
[18:30] ---
    It's too dark to see!
[18:32] ---
    My whole body aches from
    plunging through the door!
[18:35] ---
    If you knew about the door,
    you could've opened it normally.
[18:38] ---
    You're absolutely right.
[18:40] ---
    Ouch! I just ran into a wall.
[18:42] ---
    Wait for me. I'll be right there.
[18:47] ---
    Rum!
[18:51] ---
    We were worried about you!
    Are you all right?
[18:55] ---
    We heard you scream. Did something happen?
[19:00] ---
    S-S... Scorches!
[19:04] ---
    Don't worry. I've dealt with them before!
[19:08] ---
    Take that, and that!
[19:08] ---
    Rum! Light up the room!
[19:11] ---
    Take that!
[19:12] ---
    And that!
[19:22] ---
    A phantom!
[19:23] ---
    So this is where they're coming from.
[19:26] ---
    But I didn't bring any water!
[19:27] ---
    That was a big mistake.
    Water works great on phantoms!
[19:31] ---
    We'll have to clobber it!
    Try to hold it still.
[19:35] ---
    Leave it to me!
[19:37] ---
    But, um...
[19:38] ---
    How exactly do I do that?
[19:40] ---
    Here it comes!
[19:41] ---
    Um... uh... Oh!
[19:44] ---
    Shaun, let me borrow this.
[19:53] ---
    Keep screaming so I know where you are!
[19:55] ---
    The phantom is above my head!
    That's your right, no left!
[20:01] ---
    If I get close enough,
    I can figure it out myself!
[20:07] ---
    You smashed it to bits.
[20:09] ---
    You're really strong, Shaun!
[20:11] ---
    Tie it up just in case.
[20:15] ---
    Our work's not done!
[20:19] ---
    Look at that!
[20:21] ---
    At what?
[20:22] ---
    The trapdoor on the ceiling is loose,
    and soot is leaking out.
[20:27] ---
    What's soot doing up there?
[20:39] ---
    Hey!
[20:48] ---
    So that's it! Soot from each
    room passes through the attic!
[20:52] ---
    That's where the soot is leaking from.
[20:55] ---
    The hinge rusted and broke,
    causing the trapdoor to crack open.
[21:00] ---
    The soot leaking from there
    collected until it became a phantom.
[21:04] ---
    So that's it.
[21:05] ---
    It was nobody's fault! Case solved!
[21:12] ---
    Now let's celebrate! Here's a roll!
[21:17] ---
    I don't need any.
[21:26] ---
    Yum!
[21:28] ---
    Isn't this the bread
    the Shadows family eats?
[21:31] ---
    Mistress Kate shares it with me.
[21:33] ---
    I wanted everyone to try it.
[21:35] ---
    She's that close to her master?
[21:38] ---
    She really is a strange one.
[21:41] ---
    Is it yummy, Rum?
[21:50] ---
    How much longer will Emilico
    be working outside this room?
[21:56] ---
    We promised to share information.
[22:00] ---
    At this rate, we'll never
    make it past the debut.
[22:06] ---
    There is something that Kate needs to do.

[01:36] ---
    "The Debut"
[01:36] ---
    Now we know!
[01:38] ---
    The phantom mayhem was
    caused by an equipment failure.
[01:42] ---
    But if you slack off,
    it will happen again!
[01:46] ---
    So keep on your toes! Dismissed!
[01:51] ---
    Did you see how
    disappointed Barbie looked?
[01:54] ---
    Rose and I know nothing about
    the soot processing equipment.
[01:58] ---
    The Star Bearers handle that.
    Barbie must've been sleeping on the job.
[02:02] ---
    Well done, Emilico!
[02:06] ---
    Exchanging letters with you helped.
[02:09] ---
    I never expected a handmade
    doll as your reply. Thank you.
[02:14] ---
    I still can't write very well,
    so I let my sewing do the talking.
[02:18] ---
    It's about time to return to our rooms.
[02:21] ---
    So it is. We must hurry.
[02:23] ---
    Bye, everyone!
[02:24] ---
    Goodbye!
[02:27] ---
    I really enjoyed that.
[02:46] ---
    Mistress Sarah.
[02:51] ---
    The debut is tomorrow?!
[02:53] ---
    You've been so busy.
    There was no chance to tell you.
[02:57] ---
    And we couldn't study together.
[03:01] ---
    Will you make that face at the debut?
[03:04] ---
    You need not clean
    anymore today. Go to bed now.
[03:07] ---
    But...!
[03:08] ---
    Your job right now is to sleep.
[03:11] ---
    Yes, ma'am. Good night.
[03:19] ---
    Wait.
[03:21] ---
    Come here.
[03:28] ---
    Laugh.
[03:29] ---
    Huh?
[03:35] ---
    Now, act sad.
[03:36] ---
    Oh, um...
[03:42] ---
    That's enough.
[03:43] ---
    Huh? What was that all about?
[03:46] ---
    Never mind. Hurry up and get to bed.
[03:55] ---
    I've caused Mistress Kate
    nothing but trouble.
[03:59] ---
    I don't understand what she is feeling.
[04:04] ---
    I wonder if Mia understands
    everything that Mistress Sarah is feeling.
[04:16] ---
    Mistress Sarah, I beg you to
    give me the opportunity to grow.
[04:24] ---
    Very well.
[04:36] ---
    Mistress Kate told me about scorches.
[04:40] ---
    She said they are soot that gathered
    and started to move with ill intent.
[04:44] ---
    But if that happens after
    soot gathers together awhile...
[04:48] ---
    Will Rolly be all right?
[04:51] ---
    But it's been a while,
    and he hasn't done anything bad yet.
[04:55] ---
    He's full of Mistress Kate's
    goodwill! He'll be fine!
[05:03] ---
    We're not supposed to
    go outside of the house.
[05:06] ---
    I wonder if there are people out there
    and whether I can meet them.
[05:11] ---
    Maybe I'd learn lots of new things
    if I became a Star Bearer.
[05:15] ---
    If so, I want to be a Star Bearer!
[05:18] ---
    We must...
[05:20] ---
    become...
[05:22] ---
    Star Bearers!
[05:25] ---
    We shall be the ones who gain
    Lord Grandfather's approval.
[05:29] ---
    We haven't had our debut,
    yet you waste your time with that failure!
[05:35] ---
    Mia, you are to serve Sarah alone!
[05:38] ---
    You are meant to make Sarah shine!
[05:41] ---
    You are exceptional!
[05:46] ---
    I wonder what Mistress Kate wants.
    Does she want to be a Star Bearer?
[05:53] ---
    But first, the debut.
[06:01] ---
    If I fail at the debut,
    I'll probably be discarded.
[06:06] ---
    I'll never see Mistress Kate again.
[06:10] ---
    I wonder if she has any friends.
[06:13] ---
    I wonder what she likes to do.
[06:16] ---
    I don't know anything about Mistress Kate.
[06:23] ---
    I really want to make it past the debut.
[06:28] ---
    Listen, Shaun.
[06:32] ---
    Yes, Master John?
[06:33] ---
    The debut is tomorrow.
[06:35] ---
    Your nightly watch duty must be tiring,
    so enough cleaning. Go rest.
[06:40] ---
    Not yet.
[06:41] ---
    Why?
[06:42] ---
    It's my duty to finish
    cleaning my master's room.
[06:46] ---
    Your master, John,
    is telling you to go rest.
[06:49] ---
    But I cannot rest while
    your room is still dirty.
[06:53] ---
    You're always so stubborn.
[06:55] ---
    And you haven't worn your glasses lately.
    You used to wear them here.
[07:00] ---
    I want to get used to not wearing them.
    Plus, I have sharp ears and a good nose.
[07:05] ---
    I'll wear them for detailed cleaning.
[07:08] ---
    But why are you wearing glasses?
[07:11] ---
    You finally asked about the glasses!
[07:14] ---
    John asked a veiled doll
    to find a pair just like yours!
[07:18] ---
    Now there's no reason
    for you not to wear glasses.
[07:21] ---
    Master John, I should be
    the one trying to match you.
[07:25] ---
    You don't appreciate
    John's attempt at a compromise?
[07:29] ---
    Forgive me.
[07:30] ---
    But if I don't properly
    fulfill my role as a living doll,
[07:34] ---
    it will lead to a poor debut evaluation.
[07:37] ---
    You have a point there, Shaun.
    Let's dispense with the glasses.
[07:41] ---
    But get some rest. At least
    fulfill one of John's requests.
[07:47] ---
    Very well.
[07:48] ---
    John will turn in, too.
[07:53] ---
    Good night, Master John.
[08:15] ---
    I have never given
    Mistress Shirley a kiss good night.
[08:20] ---
    Tomorrow, I'll fail at the debut,
    and that will be the end of my life here.
[08:25] ---
    Rum, are you okay with that?
[08:29] ---
    It doesn't matter, Rummy!
    I don't have anyone who...
[08:37] ---
    I could be friends with her,
    but it's already too late.
[08:43] ---
    Black Sheep, Good-for-Nothing, and...
    What was the other one, Ricky?
[08:48] ---
    Sunshine, Master Patrick.
[08:52] ---
    Yes, that was it!
[08:54] ---
    Competition like that can only
    serve to make Patrick look good.
[08:59] ---
    There is one more candidate
    on dimwitted Roses' team,
[09:03] ---
    but she is not much of a threat.
[09:05] ---
    So then, the only viable
    candidate tomorrow is Patrick.
[09:09] ---
    Ricky, you are a fine face.
    Patrick is sure to be a Star Bearer.
[09:14] ---
    Then he shall have
    Lord Grandfather's love.
[09:17] ---
    All who dare stand in
    the way shall be struck down.
[09:21] ---
    We must dispose of
    Shadows House's excess baggage.
[09:24] ---
    Patrick will sort
    the garbage at the debut.
[09:27] ---
    Will you help, Ricky?
[09:29] ---
    Gladly. I will take out the
    garbage once you have sorted it.
[09:34] ---
    Ricky, that's the look.
[09:37] ---
    That is Patrick's face, the look
    of contempt for those beneath us.
[09:41] ---
    Don't ever forget that face.
[09:44] ---
    All done with your morning cleaning, Lou?
[09:47] ---
    Then we shall pretty you up.
[09:50] ---
    In addition to paintings, we can also
    take and display photos at the debut.
[09:55] ---
    It shall be wonderful!
[09:57] ---
    Let's try some makeup, too.
[10:03] ---
    Oh, how pretty. What a joy it is
    to see Louise's face like this.
[10:08] ---
    Aren't you happy, too, Lou?
[10:09] ---
    Of course, Mistress Louise.
[10:11] ---
    Oh, what flawless skin.
    Louise simply must touch it.
[10:17] ---
    Oh dear, we must start over
    so that you'll look pretty.
[10:26] ---
    I have to wear that?
[10:29] ---
    That's right. We must hide
    you before the debut.
[10:41] ---
    A pleasure to meet you. I am Edward,
[10:44] ---
    a special doll who lives in
    Lord Grandfather's wing of the house.
[10:48] ---
    Lord Grandfather's wing?
[10:50] ---
    What does it mean to be special?
[10:53] ---
    Now then, this way to the debut hall.
[11:03] ---
    A question for the dolls.
[11:05] ---
    Why do you suppose this corridor
    to Lord Grandfather's wing is so long?
[11:11] ---
    Is it a security measure?
[11:13] ---
    It's so the lords can
    feel safe and secure.
[11:16] ---
    Living dolls shouldn't
    think about such things.
[11:21] ---
    We have some promising dolls as well.
[11:40] ---
    Now, let the debut begin.
[11:50] ---
    Are debuts always this empty?
[11:54] ---
    We can't meet Lord Grandfather yet?
[11:57] ---
    The living dolls may remove their veils,
    and you are free to speak.
[12:02] ---
    You are the candidates for today's debut.
[12:15] ---
    Show me what you've got.
[12:17] ---
    Umm...
[12:19] ---
    Hmm?
[12:20] ---
    The shadow masters are getting anxious.
    They don't know what to do.
[12:25] ---
    We'll be rated according
    to what we do here.
[12:28] ---
    I can't mess this up.
[12:31] ---
    "Show me what you've got"?
    What does that even mean?!
[12:34] ---
    Master John!
[12:49] ---
    There's food here.
    Perhaps we should help ourselves.
[12:52] ---
    Kate shall have some tea to start.
[12:55] ---
    Louise shall have something to eat.
[12:59] ---
    So, your name is Kate, is it?
[13:02] ---
    Yes.
[13:03] ---
    Having never met another shadow
    before made Louise quite anxious.
[13:07] ---
    Really? Let's be friends.
[13:09] ---
    No. There is no need for that.
[13:11] ---
    Huh?
[13:12] ---
    Look, look!
[13:13] ---
    This is Louise's face. Isn't it so pretty?
[13:17] ---
    It is.
[13:18] ---
    Right? So glad you agree.
[13:20] ---
    One becomes so anxious
    without an objective opinion.
[13:23] ---
    You may tell Louise how wonderful she is.
[13:26] ---
    No, thank you.
[13:27] ---
    Oh, but your face says you would
    like to keep looking at Louise.
[13:32] ---
    That makeup makes Lou look even prettier.
[13:37] ---
    Forgive me, Mistress Kate!
[13:39] ---
    Your face isn't anything special.
[13:42] ---
    What did you say?
[13:43] ---
    Look at Patrick's face.
    It's nothing like...
[13:47] ---
    It's nothing like...
[13:48] ---
    The fake smile of one who
    doesn't know her place.
[13:51] ---
    Right! It's an expression
    you could not possibly make.
[13:55] ---
    How rude! What an atrocious personality!
[13:57] ---
    Atrocious? I beg to differ.
[13:59] ---
    Patrick's face has
    a marvelous personality.
[14:02] ---
    Faces have personalities?
[14:08] ---
    N-No! It's Patrick's marvelous
    personality that exudes from his face!
[14:13] ---
    Very well, if you say so.
[14:16] ---
    Mistress Louise rose one rank
[14:18] ---
    because the correct way to view
    living dolls is as mere faces.
[14:23] ---
    But that is kind of sad.
[14:26] ---
    No! I must remember
    my "don't fret" notebook.
[14:29] ---
    Fret not over...
[14:32] ---
    Rum.
[14:39] ---
    Rum.
[14:41] ---
    Why don't you try talking to your
    shadow master with your finger?
[14:45] ---
    You know, like you did with me that time?
[14:48] ---
    You know about Rummy?
[14:51] ---
    Rummy! I talk to my stuffed toy,
    Rolly, just like Rum talks to you.
[15:01] ---
    Would you like some tea?
[15:14] ---
    Oh no! I left Mistress Kate all alone!
[15:23] ---
    A face that forgot where its body was.
[15:27] ---
    No need to be so aggressive.
    It's a party. Let's have fun.
[15:33] ---
    Shaun is fulfilling his role as a face.
[15:58] ---
    I-It's so...
[16:00] ---
    It's so yummy! It makes one
    want to roll upon the floor!
[16:05] ---
    Mistress Kate is acting like me now.
[16:08] ---
    You're no ice queen.
    You're so expressive about food.
[16:13] ---
    You're John's cup of tea.
[16:14] ---
    Listen, Kate. That face's behavior
    has been atrocious today.
[16:19] ---
    And what's with the name Emilico?
[16:21] ---
    What of it?
[16:23] ---
    Faces must have a name.
    It's one of the rules.
[16:26] ---
    Emilico? What a strange name.
[16:29] ---
    A name closer to one's own is customary.
[16:32] ---
    Huh?
[16:33] ---
    Who knows about that shy one,
[16:36] ---
    but the rest of us have such names.
[16:38] ---
    Louise and Lou, John and Shaun,
    Patrick and Ricky...
[16:43] ---
    It's one's own face, so it's only natural.
[16:45] ---
    Kate must not like her face.
[16:48] ---
    It is a face so unloved.
[17:00] ---
    This won't do. If we remain
    so emotionally distant,
[17:03] ---
    we shall fail the debut.
[17:05] ---
    What is wrong with her?
[17:07] ---
    Why won't she act as Kate wishes?
[17:09] ---
    We must be more like Sarah and Mia.
[17:13] ---
    But she frets over trivial matters.
[17:15] ---
    She befriends other faces.
[17:17] ---
    She let that name issue get to her.
[17:20] ---
    Living dolls exist only
    to be a shadow's face.
[17:24] ---
    Fretting over trivial matters
    amounts to defying your master.
[17:28] ---
    Come what may, a doll must swear
    to be ever loyal to its master.
[17:33] ---
    Living dolls need not befriend each other.
[17:49] ---
    What an elegant tune.
[17:51] ---
    Who knew special dolls
    could play the piano?
[17:56] ---
    Maybe he wants us to dance to see
    if we're at one with each other.
[18:00] ---
    Oh, um, very well. Shall we dance, Ricky?
[18:04] ---
    Oh my! Louise loves to dance.
[18:07] ---
    We've practiced this dance
    so very much, haven't we, Lou?
[18:12] ---
    They practiced?
[18:15] ---
    I don't know how to dance.
[18:21] ---
    One can easily see that Louise truly
    loves her face, or in short, herself.
[18:26] ---
    She is leading Lou, and Lou is
    surrendering to her master.
[18:31] ---
    But with Patrick,
    Ricky leads him at times.
[18:35] ---
    Ricky is spotlighting Patrick
    without standing out too much.
[18:38] ---
    They are in harmony with
    their similar personalities.
[18:42] ---
    We're falling behind.
    Emilico will never be Kate's face.
[18:47] ---
    Isn't there some way
    we can pass the debut?
[18:50] ---
    Kate doesn't want to get eliminated here.
    There is something she must do.
[19:01] ---
    Would you... care to dance...
    Mistress Shirley?
[19:15] ---
    Thank you.
[19:21] ---
    Shall we join them, Shaun?
[19:30] ---
    Don't give up.
[19:37] ---
    Mistress Kate! Forgive me
    for feeling discouraged.
[19:40] ---
    I won't give up!
[19:42] ---
    I was wrong.
[19:44] ---
    It was I who was not
    paying attention to Emilico.
[19:49] ---
    Very well. Let's dance, Emilico.
[19:52] ---
    But first... laugh.
[19:55] ---
    Laugh out loud.
[19:57] ---
    A grand laugh.
[20:04] ---
    That's it. You are fine
    just the way you are.
[20:08] ---
    I was never seeking
    to be the perfect shadow.
[20:15] ---
    Follow Kate's lead.
    Her secret talent will handle the rest.
[20:19] ---
    Huh? My legs are moving on their own.
[20:22] ---
    Surrender yourself to Kate,
    and you'll be fine.
[20:27] ---
    Emilico...
[20:30] ---
    look how well I can control soot now.
[20:34] ---
    You're hopeless. So many blunders.
[20:37] ---
    You won't ignore those in need,
    and you fret over trivial matters.
[20:42] ---
    You're a terrible living doll.
[20:44] ---
    But I think the truly unique
    part of you is wonderful.
[20:50] ---
    Plus, you try hard
    and are nice to everyone.
[20:53] ---
    But I'd like you to pay
    attention to me sometimes.
[21:19] ---
    How dare a living doll
    treat a shadow so rudely.
[21:24] ---
    Being judged by a doll was
    intolerable from the start.
[21:27] ---
    Where is your shadow, Edward?
[21:30] ---
    I am a special living doll.
[21:33] ---
    Are you suggesting a high-ranking shadow
[21:35] ---
    must appear before
    a lowly shadow like you?
[21:38] ---
    Still, you are shadows.
    I should have paid you more respect.
[21:45] ---
    Let me apologize by
    showing you our lovely garden.
[21:48] ---
    This way, please.
[21:50] ---
    A splendid idea.
    Louise would love to see it.
[21:55] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[21:57] ---
    Huh?
[21:58] ---
    Eat your sweets.

[00:07] ---
    He means we must stay here.
[00:11] ---
    The door's been locked.
[00:14] ---
    I don't understand the criteria.
[00:17] ---
    He's definitely watching how we
    fulfill our role as a shadow face.
[00:21] ---
    But why was Ricky demoted one rank?
[00:25] ---
    What was the reason behind your demotion?
[00:27] ---
    Enough, already!
[00:29] ---
    We weren't told to dance.
[00:30] ---
    So it's my fault for
    taking the initiative?
[00:33] ---
    You all danced, so you're just as guilty!
[00:36] ---
    It probably all hinges on how
    Edward feels at the moment.
[00:40] ---
    That's so unfair!
[00:42] ---
    We are living dolls.
[00:45] ---
    The Shadows family may
    treat us however they see fit.
[00:49] ---
    Aren't you fretting
    over trivial matters, Ricky?
[00:51] ---
    You're one to talk!
[02:28] ---
    What's taking so long?
    Are we supposed to go, too?
[02:29] ---
    "The Garden Labyrinth"
[02:32] ---
    Don't be stupid. It's locked,
    and he didn't tell us to come along.
[02:37] ---
    Use your brain, Black Sheep.
[02:39] ---
    He never said we shouldn't come!
[02:41] ---
    But that's what he meant!
[02:53] ---
    Please don't fight!
[02:56] ---
    This is why they call you Sunshine.
[02:59] ---
    We're bitter rivals.
[03:01] ---
    And why in the world do
    you hold your cup like that?
[03:05] ---
    How sorry I feel for Kate.
[03:08] ---
    You hold cups by their handle.
[03:12] ---
    Elegant, right?
[03:14] ---
    No one holds it in both hands.
[03:16] ---
    Oh, Ricky!
[03:19] ---
    Thank you for telling me!
[03:25] ---
    Emilico! You're just some
    unloved doll with a strange name!
[03:31] ---
    Mistress Kate told me
    I was fine just how I am.
[03:35] ---
    And I have no right or
    reason to not believe her.
[03:51] ---
    Th-That's disgusting!
    You're trying to mock me!
[03:54] ---
    Huh?
[03:56] ---
    A stone?
[03:57] ---
    You fool! That's what you get
    for thinking it was okay to eat!
[04:01] ---
    It's more of Edward's abuse.
[04:04] ---
    Hm? Where have I seen this before?
[04:07] ---
    Oh, that's a fève. I read about them.
[04:10] ---
    It's a small porcelain good luck charm.
[04:12] ---
    One is placed inside galette des rois,
    a sweet pastry eaten on New Year's.
[04:17] ---
    Happiness comes to whoever finds it.
[04:19] ---
    What does such useless knowledge
    have to do with the debut?
[04:23] ---
    There's writing on it.
[04:25] ---
    Edward did say we should eat our sweets.
[04:28] ---
    Maybe there are more
    fèves in the other sweets.
[04:32] ---
    They might spell out a message.
[04:34] ---
    Nice work, Emilico!
[04:36] ---
    Come on, let's eat!
[04:41] ---
    All this... for the five of us?
[04:44] ---
    I'm not eating that.
    Your theory is just a wild guess.
[04:48] ---
    Fine, if you think you know better.
[04:50] ---
    But don't come crying
    if your rating goes down.
[05:11] ---
    "There is a good luck charm
    in the galette des rois."
[05:16] ---
    But that's...
[05:19] ---
    What are we supposed to do with that?
[05:21] ---
    Damn it! I knew this was
    just more of his abuse!
[05:28] ---
    I ate too much. I feel sick.
[05:38] ---
    Emilico.
[06:02] ---
    It opened!
[06:04] ---
    This means we should go after them, right?
[06:07] ---
    It might be a trap.
[06:09] ---
    Besides, we don't even know
    if those really are fèves.
[06:15] ---
    Come on, let's go!
[06:17] ---
    Worrying about our masters
    isn't a trivial matter!
[06:38] ---
    It was supposed to be easy.
[06:42] ---
    Kate can be brought down,
    no, must be brought down.
[06:46] ---
    But I got her living doll all fired up.
[06:50] ---
    On top of that,
[06:51] ---
    when I played piano to calm myself,
    Patrick and his doll start dancing!
[06:57] ---
    Now Kate and her doll are closer,
    making it harder to eliminate them!
[07:02] ---
    This debut is a test
    of my skill as a judge.
[07:06] ---
    I will seem less than
    motivated if no one fails.
[07:09] ---
    But I can't simply fail
    a pair without reason.
[07:13] ---
    I must get my plan back on track!
[07:18] ---
    Calm yourself, Edward.
    It really isn't that difficult.
[07:24] ---
    That took longer than I'd thought.
[07:26] ---
    Aren't you forgetting something important?
[07:30] ---
    Where are our shadow masters?
[07:33] ---
    The rules are simple.
[07:35] ---
    You must exit the garden
    before the allotted time expires.
[07:39] ---
    But first, you must save your masters.
[07:41] ---
    Save them? What have you done?
[07:44] ---
    You must be concerned.
    It's important to feel that way.
[07:47] ---
    After all, living dolls exist
    for the sake of their masters.
[07:50] ---
    Why are you putting us through this?!
[07:53] ---
    Such questions are trivial, immaterial!
[07:56] ---
    Consider carefully what
    you should be thinking about
[08:00] ---
    and what you should not be.
[08:02] ---
    You must protect your masters,
    for they are nobles.
[08:05] ---
    No harm must come to a living
    doll's face while in the labyrinth.
[08:09] ---
    And a shadow's attire must not get dirty.
[08:13] ---
    Thus far, the ranking from
    the top is Lou, Shaun, Ricky, Rum,
[08:18] ---
    and last, Emilico.
[08:21] ---
    Higher rankings yield a greater advantage.
[08:25] ---
    The items you see over there
    may prove useful in this test.
[08:30] ---
    The top-ranked doll chooses first.
[08:37] ---
    Why choose a rock over one of those items?
[08:41] ---
    Huh?
[08:45] ---
    I'll take this.
[08:46] ---
    That's how you choose?!
[08:48] ---
    I have trouble making up my mind.
[08:50] ---
    Don't neglect important decisions.
[08:52] ---
    But it's not like you have
    the capacity for regret.
[08:58] ---
    It's not my style to carry junk around.
[09:01] ---
    What is my style?
[09:03] ---
    It could be trouble if she
    threatens me with those shears.
[09:07] ---
    Should I choose that weapon?
[09:10] ---
    I need something really versatile.
[09:13] ---
    Water.
[09:14] ---
    Does that mean we'll
    have to deal with scorches?
[09:19] ---
    Bread.
[09:20] ---
    This won't be over today?
    We're in for a long haul?
[09:23] ---
    Hurry up and choose.
    You two are ranked the same.
[09:27] ---
    You can decide who picks first.
[09:30] ---
    All right, I'll go first.
[09:33] ---
    Like hell you will!
[09:34] ---
    You got some nerve!
[09:40] ---
    You better stop messing with me.
[09:44] ---
    You already punched me once.
    Shall we pick up where we left off?
[09:50] ---
    Um, why don't you say what you
    want to choose at the same time?
[09:56] ---
    There's but one choice!
[09:59] ---
    The magnifying glass!
[09:59] ---
    The soot suit!
[10:04] ---
    Isn't that wonderful, you two?
[10:12] ---
    Next is Rum.
[10:24] ---
    A lantern during the day? That's stupid.
[10:30] ---
    Ricky, you talk tough, but you
    chose something to protect yourself.
[10:34] ---
    Didn't you hear the rules?
    No harm must come to a living doll's face.
[10:39] ---
    And last, Emilico.
[10:41] ---
    Hurray! What I want is still there.
[10:43] ---
    I know you're lying.
    There's only junk left!
[10:46] ---
    Junk? What about that bread?!
[10:50] ---
    You're still thinking
    about food after all we ate?
[10:53] ---
    Bread... That's no surprise.
[10:56] ---
    Sorry, bread, not this time.
[11:00] ---
    This is what I wanted!
[11:04] ---
    She's an even bigger idiot than I thought!
[11:07] ---
    Emilico, why'd you pick that?
[11:10] ---
    It looks heavy.
[11:13] ---
    I had to have this!
[11:20] ---
    The sootglass takes about two hours
    for the soot to go from bottom to top.
[11:25] ---
    You must bring your master
    to the exit before then.
[11:29] ---
    Take this and wait at the entrance
    I told each of you to go to.
[11:40] ---
    Now, go!
[11:46] ---
    A pencil, rope, scissors,
    a handkerchief, and a map.
[11:55] ---
    This mark looks like a small hut.
[11:59] ---
    Hmm? What's this black dot?
[12:03] ---
    Oh, there are five of them.
    Is that where the shadow masters are?
[12:09] ---
    Is that writing?
[12:11] ---
    Must be a hint!
[12:13] ---
    The magnifying glass was a smart move!
    Maybe I can pinpoint my master's location.
[12:21] ---
    I can't read it even with this.
[12:24] ---
    Emilico has sharp eyes.
    Maybe she could read it.
[12:34] ---
    Rum! What a coincidence!
[12:39] ---
    Just kidding!
    My entrance was next to yours,
[12:43] ---
    so I thought I might run
    into you if came this way.
[12:49] ---
    Me, too.
[12:53] ---
    Have you decided where to go?
[12:58] ---
    I'm heading for this hut mark
    nearby. Let's go together!
[13:10] ---
    Hm?
[13:13] ---
    I'll be right back.
[13:19] ---
    There's a waterway below!
[13:23] ---
    I must pay more attention.
    I nearly fell in.
[13:28] ---
    Let's put it on the map.
[13:38] ---
    Isn't this kind of fun?
[13:50] ---
    I really could've used that lantern.
[14:20] ---
    Hush.
[14:22] ---
    Seriously? You cut a shortcut through
    the hedge?! Is that even allowed?
[14:27] ---
    Wait. I might be able to
    use her to my advantage.
[14:33] ---
    Lou, where are you headed?
[14:35] ---
    Nowhere special.
[14:36] ---
    Your utter lack of thought is impressive.
[14:40] ---
    I think I know where
    the shadow masters are.
[14:42] ---
    No, you don't.
[14:43] ---
    Yes, I do! There's a hint
    right on the map.
[14:46] ---
    What map?
[14:47] ---
    Look in the bag we received!
[14:50] ---
    The map has dots that seem worthless.
    I'm the only one who noticed!
[14:54] ---
    I'll take you there if
    you hack us a shortcut.
[15:00] ---
    Okay, tell me where to start.
[15:03] ---
    However...
[15:05] ---
    I'll give you a buzz cut if you're lying.
[15:10] ---
    It's a deal!
[15:21] ---
    You can put your stuff in here.
[15:23] ---
    Oh, um...
[15:24] ---
    Go ahead.
[15:48] ---
    I'm fine.
[15:50] ---
    See? I can even push it with one hand.
[16:02] ---
    That was scary!
[16:04] ---
    But at least it stopped.
[16:10] ---
    Don't worry. I don't need help.
[16:14] ---
    That was my fault.
[16:24] ---
    All right!
[16:32] ---
    I want to help.
[16:41] ---
    We can push it up if we work together.
[16:51] ---
    I was trying to be strong.
[17:01] ---
    We can get more done by working together!
[17:24] ---
    We made it!
[17:30] ---
    Nice work!
[17:37] ---
    An explosion?!
[17:39] ---
    Did someone trigger a trap?
[17:43] ---
    Soot really packs a punch.
[17:56] ---
    The air is so refreshing.
[18:00] ---
    A stroll might be nice.
[18:07] ---
    This place is huge!
[18:09] ---
    We can see all sorts
    of things from up here.
[18:17] ---
    Is that... soot?
[18:28] ---
    There are little black dots here.
[18:30] ---
    I know! These are where
    the shadow masters are!
[18:34] ---
    This dot is nearby. Let's go have a look!
[18:43] ---
    I'll pick a few more
    oranges for Mistress Kate.
[18:54] ---
    Edward said wait here
    till someone comes, but...
[19:01] ---
    Maybe this soot power could help.
[19:05] ---
    Or is it risky drawing attention to it?
[19:10] ---
    It is so tempting, though.
[19:12] ---
    Oh, it's you, Kate.
[19:14] ---
    That's an interesting spot.
[19:16] ---
    John!
[19:17] ---
    This is perfect.
    There's a question that cannot wait.
[19:22] ---
    John wants your hand in marriage!
[19:26] ---
    Not a chance.
[19:27] ---
    Don't be so hasty.
    John has taken a fancy to you.
[19:30] ---
    He shall be King of Shadows House.
[19:33] ---
    You will not regret this.
[19:35] ---
    What's with him? Is he an utter fool?
[19:38] ---
    Are you saying you'll help
    if we're to be married?
[19:41] ---
    Kate will not marry
    someone so calculating.
[19:44] ---
    Yes, that was the plan.
[19:47] ---
    Quite perceptive.
    You are the one for John.
[19:50] ---
    I wish he'd go away already.
[19:53] ---
    John was put in a crate,
[19:55] ---
    but with a wham, bang, kaboom,
    he blew it to bits and escaped!
[20:00] ---
    If you overcome this ordeal
    on your own, we'll be equals.
[20:04] ---
    Then we may revisit the subject.
[20:07] ---
    Wait. Didn't Shaun help you escape?
[20:10] ---
    No, John did it without
    anyone else's help.
[20:14] ---
    How?
[20:15] ---
    Weren't you listening?
    It was like, wham, bang, kaboom!
[20:19] ---
    It doesn't appear he was
    consciously controlling soot.
[20:23] ---
    But in your case...
[20:28] ---
    that cage is quite a sight to see.
[20:31] ---
    It looks more challenging
    than John's crate.
[20:33] ---
    How will Shaun find you if
    you're not where you should be?
[20:37] ---
    Oh, right. We were told to wait.
    Shaun was supposed to come?
[20:42] ---
    So that's it. You're a smart one, Kate.
[20:44] ---
    Goodbye for now. Call John really
    loud if you wish to be saved.
[20:51] ---
    There were no repercussions
    for his conspicuous use of soot.
[20:55] ---
    Good to know.
[20:57] ---
    And it's good to know that there are
    other shadows who can control soot.
[21:02] ---
    This whole test is like one big spectacle.
[21:07] ---
    This debut...
[21:09] ---
    It's as if someone were watching us.
[21:18] ---
    It seems John failed
    to throw Kate off-kilter.
[21:22] ---
    But his high soot volume
    was quite impressive.
[21:27] ---
    Epic failures are more entertaining
    than outstanding candidates.
[21:30] ---
    What vulgar tastes you have.
    This is a test.
[21:34] ---
    Oh, please. It is one of
    the few diversions we have.
[21:37] ---
    John and that labyrinth-chopping
    doll are most entertaining.
[21:42] ---
    But Edward went through such
    pains to create it, the poor fellow.
[21:46] ---
    Does he mean to be a gardener?
    His obstinate personality is clear to see.
[21:51] ---
    Should you not say, earnest?
[21:53] ---
    He is trying to please
    Lord Grandfather, no doubt.
[21:57] ---
    In any case, Edward's bias in
    regards to the test is unflattering.
[22:01] ---
    Notably, his treatment
    of poor last-place Kate.
[22:05] ---
    Even worse, her living doll
    has sunshine on the brain.

    "An Incomplete Map"
[01:41] ---
    Hey, Gerald.
[01:43] ---
    These two have stopped moving.
[01:45] ---
    They're the ones who will fail.
    Never take your eyes off them.
[01:49] ---
    Forgive me.
[01:53] ---
    Perhaps we should send Edward a message.
[01:56] ---
    Aileen.
[01:58] ---
    Yes, ma'am,
[02:24] ---
    Must they send these inane messages?
[02:26] ---
    And can't these soot pigeons
    deliver them quietly?
[02:32] ---
    Come look at this! Shaun is going down!
[02:34] ---
    What?!
[02:50] ---
    Oh, it was just a pit trap.
[02:53] ---
    That fool!
[02:54] ---
    Neglecting to show elevation
    on the map was by design?
[02:59] ---
    As expected, it seems
    Lou will arrive first.
[03:02] ---
    Perhaps not.
[03:04] ---
    It's about to get interesting.
[03:17] ---
    Lou!
[03:21] ---
    What the hell?
[03:27] ---
    Is Lou out of the picture?
[03:39] ---
    Lou! Wait! I wasn't trying
    to steal your shears!
[03:43] ---
    I'm, um... so glad... you're all right!
[03:49] ---
    Has my face been harmed?
[03:58] ---
    I can't tell when you're that close.
[04:02] ---
    You look fine.
[04:03] ---
    Then let's go.
[04:05] ---
    Do you have any feelings at all?
[04:09] ---
    She ignored me!
[04:13] ---
    I'm amazed you didn't fall off that cliff.
[04:15] ---
    I grabbed a vine and hung on.
[04:19] ---
    You're bleeding. Doesn't it hurt?
[04:22] ---
    It hurts.
[04:25] ---
    Wait.
[04:29] ---
    Sit.
[04:31] ---
    There. That should do it.
[04:34] ---
    Seeing you all bloodied was repulsive.
[04:36] ---
    You're concerned for me?
[04:38] ---
    Don't flatter yourself!
[04:40] ---
    The only one I'm worried
    about is Master Patrick.
[04:44] ---
    I imagine he's feeling quite anxious.
[04:51] ---
    Damn it. What is this place?
[04:55] ---
    How dare you coop Patrick up like this?
    You'll pay for this, Edward.
[05:02] ---
    Ricky, get over here, already.
    Come to the rescue.
[05:07] ---
    You will come, won't you?
[05:10] ---
    What is Patrick supposed
    to do without you?
[05:14] ---
    Somebody open up this damn thing!
[05:17] ---
    Enough! This is absurd!
    Don't keep Patrick cooped up like this!
[05:21] ---
    This is no way to treat a shadow!
[05:25] ---
    Please. This is unbearable.
[05:28] ---
    Ricky. Ricky...
[05:35] ---
    Master Patrick?
[05:36] ---
    Is that your voice I hear?
[05:40] ---
    Don't worry. I'll help you.
[05:44] ---
    Good day, Master Patrick. Can you see me?
[05:48] ---
    I don't think he can see you
    with your eye pressed so close.
[05:52] ---
    Oh, really?
[05:55] ---
    You're... Sunshine? Emilico, was it?
[06:00] ---
    That's me!
[06:04] ---
    Wait, did you hear what Patrick
    was saying a moment ago?
[06:08] ---
    Yes. I'm sorry, but I heard what you said.
[06:11] ---
    This is absurd! Patrick doesn't
    get rescued out of pity!
[06:14] ---
    And especially not by a failure like you!
[06:18] ---
    Get out of here!
    No one makes a fool of Patrick!
[06:21] ---
    I'm not!
[06:22] ---
    Liar! How could you not be?!
[06:24] ---
    I said I'm not!
[06:25] ---
    Put a cork in it! Go away, already!
[06:27] ---
    I can't do that!
[06:31] ---
    No one would wish to be
    left all alone in such a place.
[06:36] ---
    I never imagined that a shadow master
    would be confined like this.
[06:40] ---
    I'm worried about Mistress Kate.
[06:44] ---
    And Ricky is worried
    about you, Master Patrick.
[06:48] ---
    I know! I'll catch you up about Ricky.
[06:51] ---
    Edward read us a rule that said no harm
    must come to a living doll's face.
[06:56] ---
    So Ricky chose a soot suit
    to protect his face.
[06:59] ---
    He's really using his brain.
[07:02] ---
    Oh, and a shadow's attire
    must not get dirty.
[07:05] ---
    You must take care, Master Patrick.
[07:08] ---
    Let's see. The crate is locked,
    and there's a single air hole.
[07:12] ---
    Are there any hints about opening it?
[07:15] ---
    You won't pass the
    test if you help Patrick.
[07:19] ---
    How can I fail for helping?
    As long as I'm being of service,
[07:22] ---
    I'm more than happy!
[07:26] ---
    Enough. Hurry up and go find Kate.
[07:29] ---
    Huh?! But--
[07:30] ---
    Save your scorn!
[07:32] ---
    Ricky will be the one to save Patrick!
    He will come.
[07:36] ---
    Besides, it will look bad
    if Patrick doesn't wait.
[07:41] ---
    I almost stole Ricky's
    chance to do his job.
[07:45] ---
    Well, please at least accept
    what I drop through the hole.
[07:53] ---
    What's this?
[07:54] ---
    An orange. It will boost your energy.
[07:58] ---
    Here's one more thing.
[08:01] ---
    It's a pretty flower I picked on the way.
[08:04] ---
    It will help the time fly
    if you look at it.
[08:08] ---
    Goodbye.
[08:16] ---
    Next time, I look forward to
    seeing you along with Mistress Kate.
[08:25] ---
    A flower? Sunshine really is
    the perfect nickname for her.
[08:42] ---
    A heavy door? That's some
    pretty plain-vanilla abuse.
[08:46] ---
    Shaun!
[08:48] ---
    Emilico!
[08:50] ---
    Three of the dolls have
    come together here.
[08:53] ---
    Shaun certainly looks promising.
[08:55] ---
    If Dorothy were Sunshine,
    she'd use him to her advantage.
[08:59] ---
    Sunshine does not think like that.
[09:02] ---
    If Ryan were Shaun,
[09:04] ---
    he would use that heavy door
    to trap and eliminate them.
[09:09] ---
    Then again, trapping them
    would be a waste.
[09:12] ---
    Their looks of despair
    would truly be a sight to see!
[09:16] ---
    What a creep.
[09:17] ---
    Have you not read their profiles?
    The three of them are fast friends.
[09:22] ---
    And neither of you is Shaun or Emilico.
[09:26] ---
    This is what makes those two so unlikable.
[09:30] ---
    Something is written under the dots
    marking the shadow masters' locations.
[09:35] ---
    But I can't see very well.
[09:37] ---
    Can you read it?
[09:40] ---
    This isn't writing!
[09:41] ---
    It's not?
[09:42] ---
    It looks like a line.
[09:44] ---
    No one can write that small.
[09:47] ---
    That's true.
[09:49] ---
    Let's share our routes so far.
[09:51] ---
    The black dots caught my eye,
[09:54] ---
    but I wanted to join up
    with you first, so I came here.
[09:57] ---
    Wouldn't you rather investigate
    that explosion together?
[10:00] ---
    This dot is Master Patrick.
[10:03] ---
    I think the explosion was here,
    where there's a shadow master.
[10:06] ---
    I saw it from high up.
[10:07] ---
    I suspected as much.
[10:09] ---
    It has me worried,
    so let's head there next.
[10:11] ---
    Sounds good.
[10:13] ---
    If we want the shortest route
    through the labyrinth,
[10:17] ---
    we'll have to pass through
    the area we are in now.
[10:23] ---
    Another head-scratcher.
[10:26] ---
    It's not on the map.
[10:29] ---
    And there's no way to open these bars.
[10:32] ---
    Can't you climb over the wall?
[10:35] ---
    No, the trees on the
    other side are full of thorns.
[10:38] ---
    Plus, we found each other.
    Let's finish this together.
[10:42] ---
    Thank you so much!
[10:50] ---
    There's something
    about these animal statues.
[10:54] ---
    There's a gap at the base.
[10:59] ---
    It turns!
[11:05] ---
    Muddy water!
[11:06] ---
    Now that's a stupid trap.
[11:10] ---
    Forgive me, Shaun!
    I didn't mean to get you dirty!
[11:13] ---
    Don't worry.
[11:15] ---
    Now we know the statues move.
[11:17] ---
    I bet one of them is a
    switch for opening the bars.
[11:20] ---
    But the others could be more traps.
[11:23] ---
    There might even be one
    that harms your face.
[11:27] ---
    Maybe we should take the long way through.
[11:30] ---
    You're overthinking things, Shaun.
[11:33] ---
    Let's relax on this bench
    and eat an orange!
[11:37] ---
    You'll never change.
    Is that from the greenhouse?
[11:41] ---
    That's a lot of stuff.
[11:43] ---
    It will be hard to push uphill.
[11:45] ---
    We already did.
[11:49] ---
    The weight from sitting...
[11:51] ---
    That's it!
[11:52] ---
    The statues are a diversion.
    The bench is the switch!
[11:56] ---
    And it's built for three.
    Let's all sit down!
[12:04] ---
    Nothing happened!
[12:06] ---
    Oh, right. Masters
    and dolls come in pairs.
[12:09] ---
    There's no need for a three-seater.
[12:12] ---
    F-Forgive me.
[12:13] ---
    It was Shaun's idea for
    the three of us to sit.
[12:16] ---
    Oh, um... Benches such as
    these are often found in gardens.
[12:20] ---
    They are placed for
    viewing special scenery.
[12:23] ---
    The view here is quite nice!
[12:25] ---
    The way those trees overlap
    makes them look like a rabbit!
[12:34] ---
    Let's go!
[12:41] ---
    What in the world happened?
[12:47] ---
    Soot.
[12:48] ---
    There are footprints here.
[12:50] ---
    Whose could they be?
[12:53] ---
    Master John.
[12:54] ---
    Let's follow them!
[12:56] ---
    Was he caught in a trap?
    Who would do such a thing?
[13:00] ---
    Master John!
[13:06] ---
    It's hard to see around here,
    and the footprints are gone.
[13:10] ---
    He's moving on his own,
    so he must be fine!
[13:13] ---
    Maybe he's on a walk!
[13:14] ---
    You're right. That sounds like
    something Master John would do.
[13:20] ---
    A phantom!
[13:21] ---
    No, it's just a folly.
    Don't scare me like that.
[13:25] ---
    What's a folly?
[13:26] ---
    A structure or other feature placed
    in a garden for decorative purposes.
[13:30] ---
    They can even be hideous.
[13:34] ---
    It's huge! I'm going to climb up!
[13:37] ---
    Go ahead. I'll devise a plan.
[13:39] ---
    Okay!
[13:41] ---
    If Master John is on a walk,
    he'll be hard to find.
[13:44] ---
    With this terrain, we could
    nearly cross paths and not notice.
[13:48] ---
    Maybe we should split up and search.
[13:50] ---
    It's Emilico from the beast's hair!
[13:54] ---
    I started out so close to Master John,
    but I was so bent on solving riddles
[14:00] ---
    that I ended up heading
    in Emilico's direction.
[14:02] ---
    That's just like you, Shaun.
[14:08] ---
    Master John?!
[14:09] ---
    Hi.
[14:10] ---
    What are you doing up there?
[14:12] ---
    What is John doing? This folly is
    so big and perfect for climbing.
[14:18] ---
    I'm glad you're safe.
[14:20] ---
    How'd you get out of the crate?
[14:22] ---
    Soot is quite remarkable.
[14:24] ---
    Or perhaps one could say,
    John is quite remarkable.
[14:29] ---
    In short, it was like, wham, bang, kaboom!
[14:34] ---
    Master John, you have
    some amazing soot power, too!
[14:38] ---
    Shaun?
[14:39] ---
    Master John, your clothes are...
[14:44] ---
    A shadow's attire
[14:46] ---
    must not
[14:47] ---
    get dirty.
[14:49] ---
    What?! No one told John about that.
[14:52] ---
    Is there nothing we could do?
[14:54] ---
    I don't know.
[14:55] ---
    Shadows emit soot that
    slowly dirties their clothes.
[14:59] ---
    Putting someone like that
    in such a confined space...
[15:03] ---
    Damn you, Edward!
[15:06] ---
    John's power will blow away
    every speck of soot!
[15:09] ---
    Master John, you'll just make it worse!
[15:11] ---
    Depriving one of such information
    results in a huge disadvantage!
[15:16] ---
    John must go back and warn Kate!
[15:19] ---
    Did you see Mistress Kate?
[15:22] ---
    John is aiming for the top!
[15:28] ---
    What?
[15:29] ---
    In other words, the path that
    goes uphill leads to Mistress Kate!
[15:34] ---
    Emilico, why do you suddenly
    understand everything Master John says?
[15:38] ---
    John had a word with Kate and...
[15:44] ---
    What's the matter?!
[15:47] ---
    Your fiancée?!
[15:49] ---
    King of Shadows House?!
[15:50] ---
    Not another word!
    John knows what you're thinking!
[15:54] ---
    It sounds completely crazy.
[15:57] ---
    Blurting it all out like
    that was not intentional!
[16:00] ---
    But it can't be helped
    when one is nervous.
[16:04] ---
    I never knew Master John lost
    his inhibitions when nervous.
[16:08] ---
    Don't feel blue.
[16:09] ---
    Have an orange!
[16:11] ---
    That's a map, not a napkin.
[16:13] ---
    Come to think of it, you're Kate's face.
[16:16] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:18] ---
    Don't tell her what you just heard.
[16:20] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:21] ---
    Here you are.
[16:28] ---
    You're adorable, like a little sister,
    but a bit too childish for Kate's face.
[16:34] ---
    Then again, John fell
    for what's inside of Kate.
[16:38] ---
    Plus, she has fine soot.
[16:40] ---
    And you can tell how beautiful
    her heart is by looking at her face.
[16:44] ---
    The face one cultivates
    reflects one's self.
[16:47] ---
    That means Kate must have
    an adorable side just like you.
[16:51] ---
    Nobility and sweetness all in one package!
[16:55] ---
    But enough about that.
[16:57] ---
    Emilico, it won't be easy saving Kate.
[17:01] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    Oh, I see. Mistress Kate is
    in a frightening predicament.
[17:09] ---
    Surely you'll think of something.
[17:12] ---
    You're a fine face.
[17:15] ---
    Shaun, may I borrow your magnifying glass?
[17:18] ---
    I will check the route to Mistress Kate.
[17:21] ---
    It's too dark here.
[17:23] ---
    Rum, may I borrow your lantern?
[17:25] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[17:29] ---
    Magnifying glasses are so much fun!
[17:32] ---
    Oh, an ant just crawled onto the map!
[17:35] ---
    Stop playing around.
[17:36] ---
    She's far too optimistic,
    but it's one of her charms.
[17:41] ---
    You know that writing you thought
    was under the dots? I figured it out.
[17:46] ---
    I thought it was a single line,
    but a closer look reveals dashes.
[17:50] ---
    It's a code for the rankings
    we received in the debut hall.
[17:55] ---
    Here's Master John...
[17:57] ---
    Master Patrick...
[17:59] ---
    Mistress Louise...
[18:01] ---
    Mistress Shirley...
[18:04] ---
    and Mistress Kate!
[18:05] ---
    Now we know where each shadow master is!
[18:09] ---
    Isn't that wonderful, Rum?
    Mistress Shirley is close by.
[18:14] ---
    I held the map too close,
    and it started to burn!
[18:17] ---
    But what an interesting pattern!
[18:19] ---
    There are scorches where
    the orange juice dripped.
[18:23] ---
    There are other strange
    scorches like this one.
[18:29] ---
    Let's try my map, too.
[18:31] ---
    Try John's, too.
[18:32] ---
    Master John?!
[18:35] ---
    Nice work, Rum!
[18:40] ---
    The dark areas that appear are...
[18:42] ---
    Elevation! This will help figure out
    how the paths are connected!
[18:47] ---
    You're amazing, Shaun!
[18:49] ---
    We should check the sootglass
    to see how much time is left.
[18:53] ---
    Sootglass, sootglass...
[18:57] ---
    There's 50 minutes left.
[19:00] ---
    "Based on the amount of soot in the
    sootglass and the distance walked..."
[19:06] ---
    Forget the sootglass.
    She calculated the time!
[19:09] ---
    Wow. Who knew you could do that?
[19:12] ---
    Now then...
[19:13] ---
    What shall we do with Master John's
    soot-stained clothes?
[19:17] ---
    Maybe there's a change
    of clothes near the exit.
[19:20] ---
    Besides, is it really that bad?
[19:23] ---
    You're filthy.
[19:25] ---
    What a royal pain.
    John is going to clobber Edward!
[19:27] ---
    Wait a moment.
[19:29] ---
    I think I figured it out.
[19:32] ---
    Look at this.
[19:33] ---
    There's no soot there!
[19:35] ---
    Let's go have a look, Shaun.
[19:37] ---
    Yes, sir.
[19:38] ---
    But we can't see the rest of
    the information on your map.
[19:49] ---
    She said she's memorized
    the map, so you can have hers.
[19:53] ---
    The whole map? Really?!
[19:55] ---
    Thanks, Rum.
[19:56] ---
    One more thing.
[19:58] ---
    About the path that leads to Kate...
[20:02] ---
    The bridge John crossed to get there
[20:04] ---
    collapsed.
[20:05] ---
    What?!
[20:06] ---
    There was a warning
    written in front of it.
[20:09] ---
    It said, "Two crossings only."
[20:11] ---
    The only way now is
    that dreadful maze below.
[20:15] ---
    I'm getting dizzy just looking at it.
[20:17] ---
    All your wandering has complicated things.
[20:21] ---
    Shaun, you've adopted a rather
    casual tone toward your master.
[20:24] ---
    F-Forgive me.
[20:27] ---
    No.
[20:29] ---
    It's perfect.
[20:31] ---
    There's only one path on the
    lower level that leads to the exit.
[20:35] ---
    So it's Mistress Kate,
[20:37] ---
    Mistress Shirley,
[20:38] ---
    and then the exit.
[20:39] ---
    That's the only route from here.
[20:42] ---
    No, we should use this path on the
    right to head back the way you came.
[20:47] ---
    The path to Mistress Kate
    looks kind of hard.
[20:50] ---
    I want to help you.
[20:52] ---
    You already did.
[20:55] ---
    You noticed the lines below the dots.
[20:58] ---
    And you told me how
    benches are used in gardens.
[21:01] ---
    I wouldn't have noticed the rabbit unless
    you had told me about viewing the scenery.
[21:07] ---
    I've gotten this far thanks
    to you, Rum, and Master John.
[21:13] ---
    Each doll must save their own master.
[21:16] ---
    That's what Master Patrick told me.
[21:19] ---
    Shaun, you must be
    the one to save Master John!
[21:27] ---
    You're right.
[21:30] ---
    Well, Emilico, this is where we part ways.
[21:33] ---
    All right.
[21:34] ---
    Rum, at first I thought you were
    all wishy-washy and helpless.
[21:39] ---
    But I was wrong. You're quite
    capable, and you've got guts.
[21:54] ---
    May we all make it through
    the debut and meet once more!
[22:18] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[22:22] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:26] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:30] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:33] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:37] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:41] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:44] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:47] ---
    If I am no one
[22:51] ---
    And I can do nothing
[22:55] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[22:58] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[23:02] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[23:07] ---
    Without a self
[23:09] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[23:14] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[23:17] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[23:21] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[23:24] ---
    Not up to snuff
[23:26] ---
    I can't even bluff
[23:32] ---
    Would you believe this stuff?

[00:07] ---
    Where are our shadow masters?
[00:09] ---
    The rules are simple.
[00:11] ---
    You must exit the garden
    before the allotted time expires.
[00:15] ---
    But first, you must save your masters.
[00:17] ---
    Save them? What have you done?
[00:20] ---
    You must be concerned.
    It's important to feel that way.
[00:23] ---
    After all, living dolls exist
    for the sake of their masters.
[00:27] ---
    Why are you putting us through this?!
[00:29] ---
    Such questions are trivial, immaterial!
[00:32] ---
    Consider carefully what you
    should be thinking about
[00:36] ---
    and what you should not be.
[00:38] ---
    You must protect your masters,
    for they are nobles.
[00:41] ---
    No harm must come to a living doll's
    face while in the labyrinth.
[00:46] ---
    And a shadow's attire must not get dirty.
[00:49] ---
    The sootglass takes about two hours
    for the soot to go from bottom to top.
[00:54] ---
    You must bring your master
    to the exit before then.
[00:58] ---
    Take this and wait at the entrance
    I told each of you to go to.
[02:36] ---
    "In the Palm of His Hand"
[02:41] ---
    Her dress has been sewn to the chair.
[02:47] ---
    "A flower that causes a rash if touched."
[02:50] ---
    Each shadow master has been
    restrained in a different manner.
[02:56] ---
    What a pleasant surprise.
[02:59] ---
    I don't even know her name.
[03:01] ---
    We must each go save our own master.
[03:06] ---
    You must wait for Rum to come for you.
[03:12] ---
    Let's go.
[03:16] ---
    Talk about creepy.
[03:18] ---
    You and Rum hardly ever speak,
    but she's a different kind of scary.
[03:22] ---
    You're criticizing a master?
[03:25] ---
    N-No! I meant scary in
    a reverential sort of way.
[03:29] ---
    Don't put words in my mouth!
[03:31] ---
    And would you take off that sack already?
[03:37] ---
    It protects my face.
    I got the idea from your mask.
[03:40] ---
    Oh, I see.
[03:42] ---
    So you're just another one
    who only thinks about themself.
[03:47] ---
    You spied Mistress Kate from afar
    but didn't stop to help.
[03:51] ---
    Are you done pretending
    to be friends with Emilico?
[03:54] ---
    Emilico will save Mistress Kate.
[03:56] ---
    Rum will save her own shadow master.
[03:59] ---
    I will save Mistress Louise.
[04:01] ---
    It's that simple.
[04:03] ---
    Damn her. She's unflappable.
[04:06] ---
    Mistress Kate told me
    I was fine just how I am.
[04:10] ---
    And I have no right or
    reason to not believe her.
[04:15] ---
    They are all so...
[04:17] ---
    How could I not be the
    most outstanding doll of all?
[04:21] ---
    No way I'm losing to the likes of them.
[04:33] ---
    Look! There's soot rising into the sky.
[04:38] ---
    Mistress Louise.
[04:45] ---
    The soot's gone?
[04:47] ---
    Where did it go?
[04:50] ---
    And why'd you think
    it was Mistress Louise?
[04:53] ---
    All we could see was soot.
[04:55] ---
    I saw the other shadow
    masters in the debut hall.
[04:59] ---
    Mistress Kate's soot goes straight up.
[05:02] ---
    Master John's looks like sparks.
[05:04] ---
    Master Patrick's
    spreads in all directions.
[05:07] ---
    I couldn't tell with Rum's mistress.
[05:10] ---
    Mistress Louise's soot curls.
[05:14] ---
    They emit soot in a different
    manner? I had no idea.
[05:18] ---
    But she did.
[05:20] ---
    She noticed something
    about Patrick before I did.
[05:24] ---
    But I don't know why she's gone.
[05:27] ---
    She'd call out to me if she were here.
[05:30] ---
    After all, Mistress Louise loves me.
[05:33] ---
    Maybe she's unable to
    speak for some reason.
[05:36] ---
    That must be it! This must also
    be a test for the shadow masters.
[05:41] ---
    But what are they being tested for?
[05:43] ---
    That soot we just saw may have
    been an accident, but it drew us here.
[05:48] ---
    It indicates that a shadow
    master is hidden here.
[05:53] ---
    Considering where we've
    looked so far, this won't be hard.
[05:57] ---
    After all, shadow masters
    emit soot when anxious.
[06:01] ---
    It seems you're not here,
    so I'll go look elsewhere.
[06:05] ---
    No, there is a master here!
[06:08] ---
    That was on purpose.
[06:11] ---
    Mistress Louise can't get
    enough of my face and voice.
[06:15] ---
    Enough with all the bragging!
[06:18] ---
    I, too, have my master's--
[06:19] ---
    No.
[06:21] ---
    Simply hearing my voice puts her at ease.
[06:36] ---
    "Make a rope ladder to save her."
[06:45] ---
    Oh, that was positively horrible!
[06:47] ---
    Lou, how lovely your face is!
    Let Louise have a good look!
[06:53] ---
    Hmm? Who is this?
[06:54] ---
    Ricky. He helped me get here.
[06:58] ---
    O lovely Mistress Louise, it is my
    pleasure to be at your service.
[07:03] ---
    How repulsive!
[07:05] ---
    You followed Louise's lovely face here?
[07:09] ---
    How dare a living doll be attracted to
    a shadow's face? You forget your place.
[07:13] ---
    No, you have it all wrong.
[07:16] ---
    Or perhaps it is Patrick who
    is fond of Louise. Is that it?
[07:20] ---
    Well, a pity for you, but we think not.
    Patrick is but a minor figure.
[07:24] ---
    The answer is no! No, no, no!
[07:27] ---
    Lou...
[07:31] ---
    Your work is done here. You may go.
[07:35] ---
    How Louise missed her face!
[07:37] ---
    Let's get a good look at you.
[07:39] ---
    How shocking it was to hear
    you say you were not here!
[07:43] ---
    You were relying on Louise's soot
    to seek her out, were you not?
[07:46] ---
    Oh, but we must hurry back
    to the hall if we are to win!
[07:51] ---
    The fools. They've let their guard down.
[07:55] ---
    If I shove them into one of these pits...
[08:05] ---
    This is that dreadful maze
    that Master John mentioned.
[08:11] ---
    Let's go!
[08:20] ---
    S-S-Scorches.
[08:22] ---
    Th-There's so many.
[08:24] ---
    That gave me goosebumps.
[08:27] ---
    Now's the time to make a you-know-what!
[08:30] ---
    A what?
[08:36] ---
    I knew right away that I could make one.
[08:39] ---
    With my pushcart,
    I can collect whatever I need.
[08:43] ---
    And its handle is perfect
    for making a broom!
[08:47] ---
    She didn't choose the pushcart
    in order to carry Mistress Kate?!
[08:52] ---
    The bag we received from
    Edward gave me another good idea.
[08:58] ---
    To help Mistress Kate
    return to her everyday life,
[09:04] ---
    I must start by dressing as I always have!
[09:08] ---
    It's a bit awkward, but...
[09:11] ---
    Emilico always has Mistress Kate in mind.
[09:16] ---
    But in my case...
[09:19] ---
    All ready, Rum? We're going in!
[09:29] ---
    Take that!
[09:30] ---
    They run if hit from above!
[09:34] ---
    Now let's try sideways!
[09:47] ---
    Nice one, Rum!
[09:50] ---
    Umm...
[09:52] ---
    Let's take the left path here,
[09:54] ---
    then right at the next branch.
[09:57] ---
    You have a fabulous memory, Rum!
[10:01] ---
    Something's wrong. We've gone too far.
[10:04] ---
    Huh?
[10:08] ---
    There was no path branching right,
    or perhaps we missed it.
[10:18] ---
    Where did we go wrong?
[10:20] ---
    It's all wrong.
[10:22] ---
    This maze is nothing like the map.
[10:25] ---
    The map is probably a lie.
[10:26] ---
    You really think so?
[10:38] ---
    I'll get rid of the scorches!
[10:41] ---
    Rum, see if you can figure out the map!
[10:45] ---
    Emilico is counting on me.
[10:49] ---
    But I don't know if I can do it.
    Rummy, what do you think?
[10:53] ---
    There is more to what
    Edward said than mere lies.
[10:56] ---
    There must be a hint somewhere.
[10:59] ---
    A hint?
[11:00] ---
    Master John was right about this maze.
    It truly is dreadful!
[11:06] ---
    The bridge collapsed after
    taking the upper route.
[11:12] ---
    Emilico, look up there.
[11:18] ---
    It's a hut mark, just like on the map!
[11:20] ---
    If that's a hut mark up there,
    then our current location is...
[11:25] ---
    I figured it out!
[11:27] ---
    It means we are in the lower area
    surrounded by walls.
[11:31] ---
    So then this maze doesn't have an exit?
[11:34] ---
    No! "Up" is written
    inside of that hut mark!
[11:39] ---
    There must be a way up somewhere!
[11:41] ---
    Let's go find it!
[11:45] ---
    That tunnel over there goes up.
[11:47] ---
    Let's give it a try!
[11:54] ---
    Look!
[11:55] ---
    That's our way out!
[11:57] ---
    There are more scorches.
[11:59] ---
    They never give up.
[12:00] ---
    But I can't use the
    broom and hold the cart.
[12:04] ---
    We can do it.
[12:06] ---
    Okay!
[12:07] ---
    Here we go!
[12:09] ---
    Ready, go!
[12:12] ---
    Hang on!
[12:26] ---
    We did it!
[12:31] ---
    Oh, look at that.
[12:35] ---
    There's an opening in the hedge.
[12:37] ---
    That's a shortcut to Mistress Shirley.
[12:41] ---
    I wonder if it's a trap.
[12:45] ---
    I bet Lou did this with her shears!
[12:49] ---
    We're all helping each other
    even when we don't know it!
[12:52] ---
    Now you can go see Mistress Shirley!
[12:58] ---
    We've been working
    as a team the whole time.
[13:00] ---
    It's sad to part ways here,
[13:02] ---
    but you'll get to see
    Mistress Shirley again!
[13:09] ---
    Rum! Are you not feeling well?
    Have you been hurt?
[13:14] ---
    Once I save Mistress Kate,
    maybe I can come help you.
[13:19] ---
    It's not that.
[13:22] ---
    Rum isn't Mistress Shirley's face.
[13:30] ---
    So then...
[13:32] ---
    who's your true shadow master?
[13:36] ---
    No, what I mean is I'm not Rum!
[13:42] ---
    Y-You're not the real Rum?
[13:46] ---
    Mistress Shirley... never gave me a name.
[13:54] ---
    We've never even had a conversation.
[13:58] ---
    After Rummy and I
    started talking to each other,
[14:01] ---
    that's when Rummy first called me Rum.
[14:05] ---
    Mistress Shirley doesn't love me.
[14:08] ---
    I have no right to even try and save her.
[14:13] ---
    I had no idea.
[14:16] ---
    Furthermore, I only think about myself.
[14:21] ---
    You're always thinking about Kate,
[14:26] ---
    but all I ever thought about was how
    much I wanted to make it past the debut.
[14:31] ---
    I wasn't thinking about Mistress Shirley.
[14:38] ---
    Mistress Shirley emits next to no soot,
[14:42] ---
    and her room barely needs cleaning.
[14:45] ---
    There's nothing for me to do.
[14:48] ---
    I want to make it past the debut,
[14:52] ---
    but maybe Mistress Shirley
    doesn't feel the same.
[14:56] ---
    I can't see her emotions.
[15:02] ---
    That's right. We can't see them.
[15:05] ---
    And because we can't see them,
    I use my imagination.
[15:11] ---
    The members of the
    Shadows family have it hard.
[15:14] ---
    Their soot only expresses
    their negative emotions.
[15:18] ---
    They can't see themselves.
    Perhaps that makes them feel anxious.
[15:23] ---
    Mistress Kate and I don't
    always get along so well.
[15:27] ---
    However...
[15:29] ---
    we don't want to want to increase
    the sadness they already feel.
[15:34] ---
    So I want to liven things up
    by having fun whenever possible!
[15:38] ---
    Now I can't stop thinking
    about Mistress Shirley.
[15:42] ---
    Let's use our imagination!
[15:43] ---
    Perhaps she's like you
    and doesn't like to talk.
[15:47] ---
    And if she doesn't emit much soot,
    it might mean she's satisfied with you.
[15:53] ---
    Perhaps she's so obsessed with cleaning
    that you never need to clean her room.
[15:58] ---
    Perhaps she's always trying to
    make you laugh by making funny faces.
[16:03] ---
    Will I get in trouble
    for saying such things?
[16:13] ---
    I want to... make it past the debut...
[16:20] ---
    ...with Mistress Shirley!
[16:22] ---
    After the debut,
[16:24] ---
    we can meet again as Mistress Kate
    and Mistress Shirley's faces!
[16:28] ---
    And I hope you can be
    friends with Mistress Kate!
[16:37] ---
    See you soon!
[16:51] ---
    One of the chains... broke?
[16:55] ---
    What's going on?
[16:59] ---
    Another one?
[17:01] ---
    If they all break...
[17:05] ---
    That vent is drawing in the soot.
[17:09] ---
    Were the chains designed to
    break as the soot accumulates?
[17:13] ---
    If the soot doesn't stop...
[17:16] ---
    It's no use. There's no stopping it.
[17:18] ---
    Controlling the soot
[17:20] ---
    doesn't get rid of
    these negative feelings.
[17:24] ---
    Emilico.
[17:27] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[17:34] ---
    Emilico?
[17:40] ---
    It is nearly complete.
[17:42] ---
    This seems a bit excessive,
    but it is certainly a fine view.
[17:46] ---
    The veiled dolls are out in force.
[17:53] ---
    Edward.
[17:56] ---
    It's not often one sees
    a debut on this scale.
[18:00] ---
    Some even end with a
    decision made in the debut hall.
[18:03] ---
    Ed, this has your personality
    written all over it.
[18:07] ---
    This will be quite an enjoyable
    debut for the latest candidates,
[18:11] ---
    assuming any can enjoy it.
[18:13] ---
    Nothing else matters as long
    as this goes according to my plan.
[18:19] ---
    As long as I entertain
    those on the third floor
[18:22] ---
    and get Lord Grandfather's attention...
[18:25] ---
    You will ascend to the third floor?
[18:29] ---
    Yet you already have plenty
    of power on the second floor.
[18:33] ---
    Upon arriving at Lord Grandfather's wing,
    I found three different floors,
[18:38] ---
    each with its own ranking.
[18:41] ---
    I must rise straight to the top.
[18:44] ---
    Those eminent third-floor figures
    don't even send out their faces.
[18:47] ---
    It's time they open a spot for me.
[18:50] ---
    You must not speak lightly of such things.
[18:53] ---
    Don't be frightened, Jer.
[18:56] ---
    I merely wish to avoid
    unnecessary concerns.
[18:58] ---
    Let us proceed with caution.
[19:01] ---
    After all, we are the only
    three left from our debut.
[19:06] ---
    Should we not pay
    attention to the candidates?
[19:09] ---
    Here are the details on all five pairs.
[19:13] ---
    I've already seen this.
[19:15] ---
    On what will you base your decision?
[19:18] ---
    Information on the soot
    and refuse from their rooms
[19:20] ---
    and the Star Bearers' reports.
[19:22] ---
    I've decided all of the roles.
[19:25] ---
    His potential may very well blossom.
[19:29] ---
    There are outstanding candidates, too.
[19:31] ---
    I took that into account
    in balancing the game.
[19:34] ---
    And this is the one who will fail.
[19:37] ---
    Such limited soot emission
    and a meager appetite.
[19:42] ---
    And this one? I'm not sure.
[19:45] ---
    Seeing this again, they seem so ordinary,
[19:48] ---
    yet the information is flawless.
[19:50] ---
    It's as if they know
    they're being watched.
[19:54] ---
    Is something the matter, Edward?
[19:55] ---
    No, it's nothing important.
[19:59] ---
    Aren't you looking forward to the drama?
[20:01] ---
    You already know the answer, Allie.
[20:05] ---
    The answer is no.
[20:07] ---
    Nothing must disturb
    the plans for my perfect world.
[20:12] ---
    Indeed.
[20:14] ---
    Once again, we simply do
    what we always do.
[20:17] ---
    Edward, you take point,
    and Allie and I provide support.
[20:21] ---
    Still, you get to be the face interacting
    with those kids on the big stage.
[20:26] ---
    I envy you, Ed.
[20:28] ---
    I'd like Lady Aileen and Lord Gerald to
    keep the third-floor lords entertained.
[20:33] ---
    Spare me your sarcasm.
[20:54] ---
    What a truly inane message.
[20:58] ---
    Barring the path to this plaza
    merely spoils the landscape.
[21:06] ---
    Those dolls I'd taken for dullards--
[21:09] ---
    they keep solving the
    clever puzzles I put in their path.
[21:55] ---
    However, Edward has them
    all in the palm of his hand!
[22:03] ---
    What a beautiful melody.

[00:08] ---
    Faces will lose their
    sense of self in due time,
[00:11] ---
    becoming but faithful
    servants of their shadows.
[00:15] ---
    Then shall shadow and face
    unite as a complete being.
[00:21] ---
    In that sense, it calls into question
    the methods of Edward's debut.
[00:27] ---
    It's a mistake to have shadows
    be friendly with their face.
[00:32] ---
    Faces are meant to be taken.
[00:35] ---
    Having faces rescue their masters
    creates an emotional bond
[00:39] ---
    and encourages them
    to think for themselves.
[00:43] ---
    Is it not important to promote loyalty?
[00:47] ---
    However, a debut that could
    cause them all to fail is quite a risk.
[00:53] ---
    Quite the experiment.
[00:54] ---
    Some are showing signs
    of new powers blossoming.
[00:57] ---
    In that respect,
    Sophie looks favorably upon Edward.
[01:01] ---
    Do you wish to mass-produce Star Bearers?
[01:04] ---
    No good will come of having
    them ponder matters to no avail.
[01:07] ---
    This means there are yet many
    possibilities here in Shadows House.
[01:12] ---
    What an interesting debut.
[01:16] ---
    Edward's methodology is revolutionary.
[01:19] ---
    It will be difficult
    for him to judge swiftly.
[01:22] ---
    Bah! That Edward makes one's blood boil.
[01:26] ---
    He's rolled out quite
    the lavish performance.
[01:28] ---
    Is he trying to steal Ryan's thunder?
[01:31] ---
    No, no.
[01:33] ---
    However...
[01:34] ---
    that was uncalled for.
[01:36] ---
    The union of bodies is
    this house's great secret.
[01:39] ---
    It was foolish to do so
    where the candidates might see.
[01:43] ---
    Ed, you have sunk too far
    into your own world.
[01:47] ---
    Aileen!
[01:49] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[01:53] ---
    What becomes of these five pairs
    upon the debut's conclusion
[01:59] ---
    shall be a sight to see.
[03:32] ---
    "A Bird Cage and Flowers"
[03:32] ---
    Oh, how wonderful it feels
    to have clean clothes once more.
[03:37] ---
    That soot remover is superb!
[03:39] ---
    There would be no need to change
    three times a day with one of those!
[03:44] ---
    Then there's this map.
    This debut is so much fun!
[03:47] ---
    Well, Shaun?
[03:49] ---
    Can we get through those bars?
[03:51] ---
    I figured it out.
[03:53] ---
    They're locked by this
    bar sunk into the ground.
[03:56] ---
    They should turn if we lift it.
[03:59] ---
    But there's also a bar on the other side.
    Both have to be lifted at the same time.
[04:05] ---
    We can't move the bars
    without someone on the other side?
[04:08] ---
    There's nothing we can do.
    We'll have to take a detour.
[04:12] ---
    We can check on Mistress Kate on the way.
[04:15] ---
    No, John's not going to meet with her.
[04:17] ---
    He promised not to
    until he passed this test.
[04:20] ---
    Then we won't--
[04:21] ---
    But John would save her if she asked!
[04:30] ---
    You're the last person I wanted to see.
[04:33] ---
    Huh?
[04:38] ---
    Oh, I get it.
[04:41] ---
    Shaun, you want to get to this side.
[04:44] ---
    Get down on your knees
    and beg. Then I'll help you.
[04:47] ---
    If you came from that direction,
    you want to get to this side.
[04:52] ---
    No. I've already saved Master Patrick.
[04:55] ---
    I'm just killing time
    with a little stroll.
[04:58] ---
    Is that Patrick's face?
[04:59] ---
    Master John?!
[05:01] ---
    That's right. I've figured out more
    of the labyrinth than you, Ricky.
[05:06] ---
    I even know where Master Patrick is.
[05:08] ---
    All your bluster was in vain.
[05:10] ---
    Considering where you are right now,
    you haven't yet saved him.
[05:17] ---
    Shaun, would you mind answering this?
[05:19] ---
    Yes?
[05:20] ---
    Doesn't having your master here
    give you an unfair advantage?
[05:24] ---
    John wants to learn about
    the relations between dolls.
[05:27] ---
    So please proceed as if John weren't here.
[05:30] ---
    But Ricky would obey you
    if you told him to.
[05:36] ---
    What a unique shadow master.
[05:39] ---
    In any case, I've got the advantage.
[05:42] ---
    We still have plenty of time,
    even with a detour.
[05:45] ---
    I already know most of the paths.
[05:47] ---
    You, however, have a long way to go
    before you'll see Master Patrick.
[05:52] ---
    Your path will take you
    about twice around the garden.
[05:56] ---
    I'll tell you what.
[05:57] ---
    If you apologize for hitting me,
    I'll lend you a hand.
[06:02] ---
    One point for Shaun.
[06:05] ---
    Not so fast.
[06:07] ---
    From what you said,
    can I assume Master Patrick is here?
[06:10] ---
    I really had no idea.
[06:13] ---
    I must thank you for
    your loose-lipped leak.
[06:17] ---
    One point for Ricky.
[06:20] ---
    I'm done wasting time here.
[06:23] ---
    Let's go, Master.
[06:24] ---
    W-Wait! I'll apologize!
[06:29] ---
    Hitting you was wrong.
[06:31] ---
    That was utterly insincere, but drawing
    this out will only waste more time.
[06:36] ---
    Emilico would probably help him,
    no questions asked.
[06:41] ---
    All right, let's open the gate.
[06:43] ---
    What? But it's still a two-to-two tie.
[06:47] ---
    Enough with that!
[06:48] ---
    And when did we each score another point?!
[06:52] ---
    Okay, we'll lift the bars together.
[06:58] ---
    Aren't those the shears Lou chose?
[07:00] ---
    Ricky, what have you done to her?
[07:04] ---
    Lou gave them to me.
[07:07] ---
    I swear upon Master Patrick
    that I'm not lying.
[07:10] ---
    Why would Lou give you her shears?
[07:13] ---
    You've tried to trick people into
    doing your bidding the entire time.
[07:17] ---
    I can't trust you.
[07:20] ---
    Wait! Answer my question!
[07:22] ---
    You won't believe me no matter what I say.
[07:25] ---
    That's the same as
    insulting Master Patrick!
[07:34] ---
    Mistress Louise has arrived!
[07:37] ---
    To think we'd be greeted
    so grandly at the exit!
[07:40] ---
    How fine it feels to come in first.
[07:44] ---
    There's Barbie.
[07:51] ---
    Louise made it out. That means...
[07:54] ---
    Ricky was telling the truth.
[08:01] ---
    Oh, you're a sight for sore eyes, Lou.
    Let's see that face.
[08:06] ---
    A living doll would never
    lay hands on a shadow master.
[08:10] ---
    I'm not some fool who'd let a moment
    of passion disgrace Master Patrick.
[08:16] ---
    Ricky.
[08:21] ---
    Here.
[08:24] ---
    Mistress Louise's orders?
[08:25] ---
    No, it has nothing to do
    with Mistress Louise.
[08:29] ---
    It's a secret.
[08:31] ---
    I wanted you to have them.
[08:38] ---
    I've never done such a thing before.
    It feels strange.
[08:42] ---
    But I had fun while I was with you.
[08:45] ---
    I want you and Master Patrick
[08:48] ---
    to make it past the debut.
[08:54] ---
    Ricky!
[08:55] ---
    I owe you an apology.
    I'm sorry for doubting you!
[08:59] ---
    Come back!
[09:03] ---
    You will abandon this
    path out of pride, Ricky?
[09:08] ---
    The path you've chosen
    doesn't lead to the finish line.
[09:12] ---
    It's all over for you.
[09:21] ---
    That half-wit was right.
    I've no chance if I take this detour.
[09:25] ---
    Damn it.
[09:31] ---
    Ricky came back.
[09:35] ---
    Huh?!
[09:36] ---
    What the...?!
[09:42] ---
    Boulder!
[09:45] ---
    Lift the bar on your side!
[09:46] ---
    I'd like to, but then
    I'd be the one in danger!
[09:50] ---
    Hang on! I'll think of something.
[09:54] ---
    Take care of Master Patrick.
[09:57] ---
    He's quite sensitive.
    I fear for him once I'm gone.
[10:03] ---
    Who knows what will
    happen if he fails the debut.
[10:06] ---
    But if he does survive this...
[10:09] ---
    Master John! Shaun! Please help him!
[10:18] ---
    Master John!
[10:19] ---
    This body has a mind of its own.
[10:22] ---
    This can't be happening! Master John!
[10:24] ---
    Master John!
[10:38] ---
    Nice face, Ricky. That's three points!
[10:42] ---
    What just happened?
[10:46] ---
    How very marvelous.
[10:48] ---
    Such a great volume of soot.
    If only I could get a closer look.
[10:53] ---
    Oh, John! So very irresistible!
[10:55] ---
    I wonder what he tastes like.
[10:57] ---
    Hey, Sophie. You're so excited,
    your face is showing.
[11:01] ---
    Her face is showing?
[11:03] ---
    So it seems.
[11:08] ---
    To liven up the moment is a fine thing.
[11:11] ---
    So they say.
[11:13] ---
    Sophie, you utterly change when
    it comes to soot. It's frightening.
[11:22] ---
    At last, the end of the debut draws near.
[11:26] ---
    Hey, why are these three going in circles?
[11:30] ---
    John went to the other side,
    and now he must get back.
[11:34] ---
    But he can't rejoin Shaun
    unless Ricky goes back.
[11:38] ---
    A heroic effort wasted by a feeble fool.
[11:41] ---
    And Rum...
[11:43] ---
    She's advancing after some confusion.
[11:46] ---
    That is the tunnel Ricky did not take.
[11:49] ---
    Did Sunshine put some
    funny ideas in her head?
[11:52] ---
    She's become positively heroic.
[11:54] ---
    John and Shaun are heading for the exit.
[11:57] ---
    And Ricky and Rum are
    reuniting with their masters.
[12:01] ---
    The living dolls are growing up
    by overcoming many difficulties.
[12:06] ---
    He's so pleased, he's chatting up a storm.
    But can he open the crate?
[12:10] ---
    What does it matter? It's adorable.
[12:13] ---
    He has noticed something.
[12:16] ---
    The various confines Edward
    designed all have soot as their key.
[12:21] ---
    Ricky has found a mold for
    making a key from hardened soot.
[12:26] ---
    John was also in a crate,
    but he used his power to destroy it.
[12:30] ---
    It seems Ricky has learned by seeing
    Louise's rescue and John's wondrous power.
[12:35] ---
    Truly magnificent.
[12:38] ---
    Well, he's soundly cleared that hurdle.
[12:41] ---
    The shadows gain trust toward their faces
    and praise them for their efforts.
[12:46] ---
    Thus their bond deepens.
[12:50] ---
    Shirley has yet to emit any soot.
[12:53] ---
    This may prove difficult.
[12:59] ---
    What's this? Is she channeling Sunshine?
[13:02] ---
    She better be careful.
    The sap will splatter all over.
[13:05] ---
    This is too scary to watch.
[13:07] ---
    Doesn't she know it causes a burning rash?
[13:10] ---
    Like Kate's cage, the upper area
    comes loose if exposed to soot.
[13:14] ---
    The rash-causing flowers
    were meant to fall on her.
[13:17] ---
    She found a workaround.
[13:19] ---
    Rum seemed quite wishy-washy,
    but she is unexpectedly resolute.
[13:23] ---
    It's an act of loyalty toward Shirley.
[13:35] ---
    What's this? Is Shirley speaking?
[13:39] ---
    An emotional reunion.
    How unfortunate we cannot hear them.
[13:43] ---
    The worst candidates staged a comeback.
[13:45] ---
    Patrick and Ricky took a detour,
[13:48] ---
    but at this rate,
    they'll likely make it in time.
[13:50] ---
    The grand finale to
    a most beauteous debut.
[13:55] ---
    They better not all make it
    merrily holding hands!
[13:58] ---
    Ryan couldn't stomach
    such an imbecilic ending!
[14:01] ---
    Well, Gerald?!
[14:02] ---
    Aileen?!
[14:04] ---
    Shadows House is not so kind as
    to keep the incompetent around.
[14:08] ---
    The fact is that at every debut,
    there have been useless individuals.
[14:12] ---
    Edward has failed in his task
    if he cannot find them.
[14:16] ---
    Now, now, Ryan. It is not over yet, is it?
[14:20] ---
    They are still in play.
[14:22] ---
    The most pitiful of all.
[14:26] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[14:29] ---
    Mistress Kate.
[14:30] ---
    It is you.
[14:34] ---
    No, I mustn't cry yet.
[14:37] ---
    I'm so glad you're safe.
[14:39] ---
    I was so worried.
    I couldn't wait to see you again.
[14:42] ---
    Forgive me. I imagine this made you
    far more anxious than I was.
[14:47] ---
    No, but it would've
    been nice to have a book.
[14:50] ---
    It was so dull here.
[14:52] ---
    But you must have had
    a terrible time getting here.
[14:56] ---
    That's right! Lots and
    lots of stuff happened!
[15:01] ---
    Please do tell.
[15:02] ---
    We were told to proceed
    through the garden alone.
[15:06] ---
    It must've been so lonely.
[15:07] ---
    I saw lots of strange puzzles and traps.
[15:10] ---
    We would've had fun strolling
    through it together.
[15:13] ---
    Kate wishes she could have.
[15:15] ---
    I met other masters and dolls,
    and together we solved some mysteries!
[15:20] ---
    Really?
[15:21] ---
    John came across Kate. He is an odd one.
[15:24] ---
    I saw him, too. He was a lot of fun.
[15:28] ---
    Would you like an orange?
[15:30] ---
    Maybe later.
[15:31] ---
    Oh, what a wonderful apron.
[15:33] ---
    Hurray! I made it
    hoping that you'd like it!
[15:38] ---
    Seeing you look like you
    always do is reassuring.
[15:41] ---
    This test has shown me that all the dolls
    hold their masters dear, just as I do.
[15:47] ---
    That's right.
[15:48] ---
    And I defeated a bunch of scorches!
[15:50] ---
    You had to do such a thing? Are you hurt?
[15:53] ---
    I'm fine!
[15:54] ---
    What did you think about while you waited?
[15:57] ---
    Giving you that bread you love so much.
[16:04] ---
    Let's continue this later over
    a cup of tea in Kate's room.
[16:08] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:10] ---
    Kate has something to talk to you about.
[16:14] ---
    There's that bell again.
[16:17] ---
    Someone must have passed.
[16:19] ---
    You can just see the exit from here.
[16:21] ---
    It's not clear who,
    but someone is being greeted.
[16:25] ---
    Now about how Kate ended up in here.
[16:29] ---
    The controls for this cage are on
    the other side of the thorn trees.
[16:34] ---
    Edward said,
    "It is necessary for the debut."
[16:38] ---
    There was no choice but to get in.
[16:40] ---
    As he operated the controls,
[16:43] ---
    the crane started to move
[16:44] ---
    until it hung on the other side.
[16:47] ---
    The cage itself is the problem.
[16:49] ---
    As soot enters the ceiling vent,
    the chains by which it's hung break.
[16:54] ---
    It's only hanging by five chains now.
[16:57] ---
    Oh, no! We must do something quick!
[16:59] ---
    How do I get over there?
[17:02] ---
    There is a path behind the cage.
[17:05] ---
    But the entrance is locked.
[17:08] ---
    Edward said the key will be
    available at the sootglass plaza.
[17:14] ---
    The keys! He must mean those!
[17:18] ---
    You don't have them?
[17:21] ---
    There was but one chance.
[17:23] ---
    Out of my great benevolence,
    I gave you one chance of passing.
[17:28] ---
    You had to choose the keys at the start.
[17:31] ---
    You were doomed to fail the moment
    you left the sootglass plaza.
[17:37] ---
    Emilico, what are you doing?
[17:39] ---
    I can reach the controls
    through these thorn trees, right?
[17:43] ---
    Well... yes.
[17:45] ---
    That's true, but...
[17:47] ---
    Then if I can cut through here,
    I can save you!
[17:51] ---
    You never give up, do you, Emilico?
[17:54] ---
    Kate likes that about you.
[17:58] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[18:00] ---
    I better hurry!
[18:02] ---
    But...
[18:07] ---
    ...there's no time.
[18:09] ---
    Yes! I knew Emilico wouldn't give up.
[18:12] ---
    How marvelous!
[18:14] ---
    Show the third-floor masters how
    you struggle in vain until the very end!
[18:20] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[18:21] ---
    Only two chains left!
[18:25] ---
    Emilico is trying her hardest, but I...
[18:30] ---
    Emilico.
[18:31] ---
    Someone's coming.
[18:38] ---
    Ricky.
[18:40] ---
    Patrick? Why now?
[18:43] ---
    Those are the shears
    that Lou chose, aren't they?
[18:47] ---
    It's a long story.
[18:49] ---
    Did he steal them from Louise?
    I wouldn't be surprised.
[18:52] ---
    He must think that eliminating rivals
    gives him an edge.
[18:56] ---
    I knew we couldn't trust the others pairs.
[18:59] ---
    What a relief!
[19:01] ---
    That bell or the one before it
    must've been for Lou!
[19:05] ---
    Lou gave you the shears to thank you
    for helping her, didn't she?
[19:15] ---
    Mistress Kate! Are you all right?!
[19:18] ---
    Y-Yes, but...
[19:20] ---
    I'm afraid I can't talk right now.
    There's something I must do!
[19:32] ---
    Give Emilico the shears.
[19:36] ---
    There is a debt to pay.
[19:41] ---
    Thank you!
[19:43] ---
    I will save Mistress Kate!
[19:47] ---
    Shaun, Rum, Ricky, and Lou
    are all supporting our efforts!
[19:53] ---
    But it didn't start out like that.
[19:57] ---
    They changed because of you.
[19:59] ---
    I was a fool.
[20:01] ---
    From the very start,
    I was making enemies, not friends.
[20:05] ---
    Emilico! It will take too long
    to cut it all down.
[20:09] ---
    Just cut enough to get through.
    Careful you don't get hurt!
[20:12] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[20:17] ---
    Mistress Kate!
    I've reached the crane's controls.
[20:21] ---
    Well done! Do you know how to use it?
[20:23] ---
    Oh, no! I need a key here, too!
[20:26] ---
    But...
[20:29] ---
    Oh, no! The soot is...!
[20:33] ---
    It's no use.
[20:35] ---
    The soot won't stop.
[20:37] ---
    At any moment, I'll be...
[20:39] ---
    I'm scared.
[20:41] ---
    I'm scared!
[20:43] ---
    I'm so scared!
[20:45] ---
    I won't give up!
[20:51] ---
    I'll save you no matter what!
[20:54] ---
    Emilico!
[21:09] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[21:19] ---
    Mistress Kate, give me your hand!
[21:34] ---
    Mia once told me that
    she was born brilliant, but...
[21:39] ---
    ...in my case, it seems I was
    born with a sturdy body!
[21:52] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[21:56] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:00] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:04] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:07] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:12] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:15] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:18] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:21] ---
    If I am no one
[22:25] ---
    And I can do nothing
[22:29] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[22:32] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[22:36] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[22:41] ---
    Without a self
[22:43] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[22:48] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[22:51] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[22:55] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[22:58] ---
    Not up to snuff
[23:00] ---
    I can't even bluff
[23:06] ---
    Would you believe this stuff?
[23:17] ---
    How very thrilling.
[23:18] ---
    It is getting quite interesting.
[23:21] ---
    Interesting?
[23:22] ---
    It's just made them
    fret over trivial matters.
[23:25] ---
    Ryan was looking forward
    to their spectacular deaths!
[23:28] ---
    Nevertheless...
[23:30] ---
    Is this not the end?
[23:33] ---
    And their end as well?

[01:36] ---
    "The Final Pair"
[01:36] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[01:43] ---
    Give me your hand!
[01:46] ---
    It seems I was born with a sturdy body!
[01:53] ---
    She cleared a large area of thorn trees
    so we'd have somewhere to land,
[01:58] ---
    then placed her pushcart full of
    flowers and leaves there as a cushion.
[02:02] ---
    Did she plan this from the start in case
    she couldn't operate the crane?
[02:07] ---
    Is there anything she doesn't think of?
[02:12] ---
    Emilico, you're bleeding!
[02:17] ---
    I've scratched my face!
[02:20] ---
    Forgive me, Mistress Kate!
[02:22] ---
    There's a river nearby.
    Let's go wash it and get you patched up.
[02:34] ---
    It's just a little cut on your head.
    It's not very deep.
[02:37] ---
    I really am a sturdy doll!
[02:41] ---
    But what about you,
    Mistress Kate? You're not hurt?
[02:44] ---
    Kate is just fine.
[02:46] ---
    I'm so glad! We're both safe now,
    and we can still pass the test!
[02:56] ---
    Only ten minutes left.
[03:00] ---
    They still have a long road ahead.
[03:05] ---
    The bleeding stopped.
[03:06] ---
    Then let's go!
[03:15] ---
    Mistress Kate?
[03:20] ---
    Don't tell me it's already too late.
[03:24] ---
    Mistress Kate...
[03:26] ---
    You've been true to who you are.
[03:29] ---
    It's apparent from the way Patrick acted.
[03:33] ---
    That's all Kate needs to be content.
[03:37] ---
    It's over!
[03:39] ---
    Not everything went as planned,
[03:42] ---
    but I succeeded in the end.
[03:47] ---
    This debut marks a major step for me.
[03:53] ---
    I had that incident in the hall.
[03:55] ---
    And the living dolls were
    tougher than I thought.
[03:58] ---
    I did foresee the
    blossoming of John's power.
[04:01] ---
    Ricky was nearly flattened,
[04:04] ---
    but that, too, was a needless concern.
[04:09] ---
    A bit hasty, perhaps?
[04:12] ---
    The sootglass has not run out yet.
[04:16] ---
    It would take me over ten minutes
    from that point, and I know the way!
[04:20] ---
    It's physically impossible
    no matter how fast they run!
[04:23] ---
    The writing is on the wall.
[04:25] ---
    You kids need but do as I say.
[04:29] ---
    Now keep your mouths shut!
[04:31] ---
    Then do as you please.
[04:42] ---
    What's that sound?
[04:47] ---
    "Check the upper level"?
[04:50] ---
    What's Allie talking about?
[04:53] ---
    It's going as planned.
    It's going as planned!
[04:57] ---
    Come what may,
    it must all fall into place.
[05:02] ---
    I have the whole ending planned!
[05:05] ---
    And this one? I'm not sure.
[05:09] ---
    Seeing this again, they seem so ordinary,
    yet the information is flawless.
[05:13] ---
    It's as if they know
    they're being watched.
[05:17] ---
    Don't tell me...
[05:20] ---
    What did I overlook?!
[05:37] ---
    Stopping by the river was a good idea!
[05:40] ---
    I wonder where this river
    comes from and where it goes.
[05:44] ---
    We're on a hill, so perhaps it connects
    to a waterway that supplies the house.
[05:50] ---
    It's just like you thought!
[05:53] ---
    Yes, but converting the pushcart into
    a boat was a fabulous idea, Emilico!
[05:59] ---
    Very impressive.
[06:00] ---
    You really do never give up.
[06:04] ---
    But this wouldn't have worked
    without you, Mistress Kate!
[06:08] ---
    Careful! There's a sharp turn.
[06:15] ---
    Kate! She can...
[06:18] ---
    She can control soot!
    Why has she not done so till now?
[06:22] ---
    Did her power just awaken?
[06:23] ---
    No! She was hiding it.
[06:25] ---
    She was always capable of it.
[06:28] ---
    Damn it! Why didn't I notice?
[06:31] ---
    Her clothes!
[06:32] ---
    Your clothes didn't get dirty.
[06:35] ---
    You were so anxious
    and emitting lots of soot,
[06:38] ---
    but you controlled it
    so you wouldn't get dirty.
[06:42] ---
    You never gave up, Mistress Kate,
    so there was no way I would, either!
[06:47] ---
    You're always carefully
    watching Kate, aren't you?
[06:56] ---
    This is dangerous! Let's get off!
[06:58] ---
    Stay the course!
[07:02] ---
    Emilico, do you know why I named you that?
[07:06] ---
    It's true that living dolls are usually
    given names that resemble their master's.
[07:12] ---
    Shadows aren't supposed to care
    what their living dolls are named.
[07:19] ---
    But I wanted you to be a unique
    individual separate from Kate.
[07:24] ---
    So, I gave you a unique name.
[07:27] ---
    Emilico, there's so much I wish
    to tell you once the debut is over.
[07:32] ---
    I'll tell you all my secrets.
[07:38] ---
    Jump out!
[08:00] ---
    Mistress Kate has arrived!
[08:05] ---
    Apologies. Kate's not very strong.
[08:07] ---
    I felt so happy cradled in your arms!
[08:15] ---
    This way, please.
[08:16] ---
    The others who passed
    have already filed into the hall.
[08:20] ---
    You were the last to arrive.
[08:26] ---
    If she could control soot
    before the debut test,
[08:31] ---
    why did she hide it?
[08:32] ---
    What are you up to, Kate?
[08:42] ---
    Why is Master Ryan clapping?
[08:45] ---
    Oh...
[08:47] ---
    Did it finally happen?
[09:05] ---
    Rum?
[09:08] ---
    Rum.
[09:09] ---
    Mistress Shirley! You remembered my name.
[09:14] ---
    Forgive me for choosing my own name.
[09:21] ---
    The name Rum is all right with you?
[09:24] ---
    I'm so glad.
[09:27] ---
    I thought we'd make it to the exit.
[09:29] ---
    I was sure there was time.
[09:32] ---
    But Mistress Shirley started slowing down.
[09:37] ---
    Though we had no hope
    of making it in time,
[09:40] ---
    I continued to hold her hand.
[09:44] ---
    And her gentle voice saying my name
    remained ever in my mind.
[09:51] ---
    Happiness was right before me
    if only I had opened my heart sooner.
[09:57] ---
    I would have been able to
    kiss her good night now.
[10:36] ---
    I finally became your face, Mistress Kate!
[10:39] ---
    When living dolls wear a portrait,
[10:41] ---
    they refrain from speaking and
    express only their master's emotions.
[10:45] ---
    Kate, you are free to mingle
    with the other shadows.
[10:48] ---
    However, you must not speak of
    your soot powers with them.
[10:53] ---
    That is between the Star Bearers and
    those in which such power has awakened.
[10:58] ---
    Understood.
[11:00] ---
    Any questions?
[11:02] ---
    No. One need but obey the rules.
[11:05] ---
    How infuriating!
[11:07] ---
    Let's go.
[11:14] ---
    Congratulations to Kate,
    the final candidate to pass.
[11:26] ---
    Everyone from the
    children's wing is gathered here.
[11:31] ---
    Would you like a cup?
[11:33] ---
    Thank you.
[11:34] ---
    What is it? It's so dark.
[11:37] ---
    It's a drink served only
    to shadows with faces,
[11:40] ---
    in other words,
    those who are deemed adults.
[11:44] ---
    It's so bitter!
[11:46] ---
    Once you get used to it,
    you won't be able to get enough.
[11:51] ---
    Drink, and your worries shall vanish.
[11:55] ---
    It's probably a drink called coffee.
    It was mentioned in a book.
[11:58] ---
    But Kate doesn't care for it.
    She prefers tea.
[12:03] ---
    It seems such a waste. Allow me!
[12:05] ---
    But you didn't seem
    to care for it, either.
[12:08] ---
    It's so bitter!
[12:11] ---
    Kate, congratulations!
[12:17] ---
    I am Maryrose! Our faces
    are already well acquainted.
[12:23] ---
    Rosemary's shadow master!
[12:27] ---
    O most beauteous Kate,
    our faces are on the same team,
[12:31] ---
    so you shall become
    quite close to Maryrose.
[12:36] ---
    Should you have any questions,
    let Maryrose guide you!
[12:39] ---
    Now be at ease.
    It was a pleasure meeting you!
[12:42] ---
    She's a lady, right?
    It's just, she seems so gallant.
[12:47] ---
    Maryrose!
[12:48] ---
    Don't spoil the children.
[12:51] ---
    Sarah.
[12:52] ---
    Congratulations, Kate. Well done.
[12:55] ---
    Sarah thought you a failure, but even
    the lowest-ranked shadow passed.
[13:00] ---
    One gets shivers up the spine
    with each visit here.
[13:03] ---
    For it's not every day one gets
    to visit Lord Grandfather's wing.
[13:07] ---
    But there will come a day when
    Sarah shall be summoned here.
[13:12] ---
    Of course, this is but the first floor.
[13:14] ---
    It may seem strange after
    entering from the garden,
[13:17] ---
    but this is the ground level.
[13:19] ---
    As the lowest ranked,
    you must work hard to move up.
[13:23] ---
    For starters, you may use Louise
    as an excellent example.
[13:27] ---
    Louise is at the top.
[13:31] ---
    Here are the four pairs
    that have grown up today.
[13:35] ---
    Please give a hand to the newest
    members of the children's wing.
[13:39] ---
    Congratulations! Well done!
[13:43] ---
    Four pairs?
[13:45] ---
    Oh...
[13:47] ---
    Emilico, you must be sad.
[13:50] ---
    Four of five pairs passed this time,
    a most impressive feat.
[13:54] ---
    And the single incompetent pair
    that failed will be...
[14:00] ---
    ...discarded!
[14:07] ---
    Oh, what a joy to bask in this glory.
[14:09] ---
    Louise is so beautiful that anyone
    would want to be like her.
[14:14] ---
    How can they be so delighted
    in the failure of their own kind?
[14:18] ---
    What happens to shadows who fail?
[14:21] ---
    How should Patrick even feel, Ricky?
[14:27] ---
    No, one must learn on one's own.
    Be confident, Patrick!
[14:31] ---
    So it was Rum.
[14:32] ---
    She seemed to be doing well,
    but she'll be discarded?
[14:35] ---
    No! One cannot question
    Shadows House's rules.
[14:38] ---
    Isn't that right, Shaun?
[14:42] ---
    Let us adjourn to the garden!
    It is time to be received in audience.
[15:04] ---
    Kate.
[15:07] ---
    Now for an encounter
    you shall never forget.
[15:09] ---
    Presenting the noblest of personages.
[15:28] ---
    Lord Grandfather waved to me!
[15:31] ---
    Such a glorious sight!
[15:37] ---
    So he's the root of all this evil.
[15:49] ---
    That dark drink they gave us...
    Don't tell me--!
[16:04] ---
    Forgive my intrusion.
[16:07] ---
    Let us see your faces.
[16:20] ---
    Lord Grandfather...
[16:25] ---
    ...here are the results.
[16:26] ---
    Louise receives passing marks for
    facial compatibility and soot volume.
[16:31] ---
    John's soot volume surpasses expectations,
[16:33] ---
    but his personality
    is ill-fit for his face.
[16:36] ---
    Patrick is compatible with his face,
    but his soot volume is poor.
[16:42] ---
    As you saw, my lord, Shirley
    had yet to acquire a personality--
[16:46] ---
    a fundamental flaw.
[16:49] ---
    I foresaw such outcomes based
    on their pre-debut information.
[16:53] ---
    The living doll, Rum,
    is inadequate as a face.
[16:57] ---
    It's believed that she never
    gave her master a kiss good night.
[17:01] ---
    Edward, let us test your knowledge.
[17:06] ---
    What is a shadow, and what is its purpose?
[17:09] ---
    A shadow is a form of morph, a parasitic
    fairy skilled in mimicry and imitation.
[17:15] ---
    We all once took this form.
[17:18] ---
    Lord Grandfather devised the process
[17:20] ---
    by which morphs acquire
    personalities and become shadows.
[17:24] ---
    In stage one, morphs
    are shown living dolls
[17:27] ---
    so they may recognize
    and mimic the human form.
[17:30] ---
    In stage two, a personality is acquired
    by interacting with a living doll.
[17:35] ---
    And in stage three, soot powers awaken
    and unification takes place.
[17:40] ---
    In short, a face is acquired by
    taking over the doll's body,
[17:44] ---
    creating a perfect being possessing soot
    powers and transcending humankind.
[17:47] ---
    But if the shadow fails to
    acquire a personality in stage two,
[17:51] ---
    we may infer that its
    morph's life force was too weak.
[17:55] ---
    Shirley certainly fits that pattern.
[17:57] ---
    No wonder she withered on the vine.
[18:00] ---
    But to perish like soot
    in the wind was a first.
[18:04] ---
    It was hilarious,
    but one can't help but wonder.
[18:07] ---
    Edward! Did you foresee that happening?
[18:11] ---
    N-No, not like that!
[18:14] ---
    I wished to entertain
    you third-floor lords.
[18:17] ---
    And I tried to save the
    trouble of discarding her
[18:20] ---
    by having her in the debut.
[18:22] ---
    A slight error on my part led to Shirley
    bonding with her doll during the debut,
[18:27] ---
    and even though she was doomed to die,
    her personality began to develop.
[18:32] ---
    That is why these
    unforeseen events occurred,
[18:35] ---
    or so I believe.
[18:38] ---
    Perhaps I went too far in staging
    a shadow's death as some sort of show.
[18:43] ---
    It is only natural that
    the failures be culled.
[18:46] ---
    We need but those who
    prove useful to Lord Grandfather.
[18:50] ---
    The manner in which the debut
    was held is another concern.
[18:54] ---
    It led the faces to fret
    over trivial matters.
[18:57] ---
    Faces with ideas of their own may
    cast doubt upon Shadows House.
[19:02] ---
    Of course, we can have them
    drink Lord Grandfather's soot coffee
[19:06] ---
    to alter their thinking.
[19:07] ---
    That swiftly erases their memory,
[19:09] ---
    filling them with
    loyalty toward Grandfather.
[19:12] ---
    But what of shadows influenced
    by the doubts of their faces?
[19:17] ---
    Grandfather's soot has
    no effect on shadows.
[19:20] ---
    Indeed, the greatest risk lies in shadows
    being influenced by a doll's defiance.
[19:26] ---
    But if we use the coffee to make
    faces loyal to Lord Grandfather,
[19:30] ---
    that will influence their shadows,
    so you needn't be concerned.
[19:34] ---
    I've had Shirley's living doll, Rum,
    drink the coffee to reset her memory.
[19:39] ---
    She'll be repurposed as a veiled doll.
[19:42] ---
    I take great care that
    malcontents do not take root in--
[19:46] ---
    You think Ryan is worried
    about such matters?!
[19:49] ---
    No one would dare defy us!
[19:54] ---
    Forgive me. I shall take
    more care from now on.
[19:58] ---
    Enough about that.
[20:00] ---
    Now then, Kate, the lowest ranked of all,
    was quite amusing.
[20:04] ---
    Her power awakened,
    a laudable achievement.
[20:10] ---
    Edward.
[20:13] ---
    By using this debut as a proving ground
    for the Shadows family's potential,
[20:18] ---
    you hastened a shadow's
    awakening and more.
[20:22] ---
    From this day forth, we place
    the children's wing in your care.
[20:31] ---
    Let us see how you do.
[20:35] ---
    However!
[20:37] ---
    As judge, you failed but one pair,
    and they were already goners.
[20:41] ---
    Such meager results will
    never get you to the third floor.
[20:45] ---
    Understood. I shall redouble my efforts.
[20:53] ---
    It's a shame we won't rise
    to the third floor just yet.
[20:57] ---
    The debut was not to their satisfaction.
[21:01] ---
    We must be of greater service
    to Lord Grandfather.
[21:06] ---
    Ryan! That arrogant buffoon had the
    nerve to interrupt Lord Grandfather.
[21:11] ---
    Why does Lord Grandfather
    have such frivolous fools by his side?
[21:15] ---
    I should be the one serving him.
[21:19] ---
    Those malcontents...
[21:20] ---
    Once I expose them,
    Lord Grandfather will understand.
[21:25] ---
    Those third-floor wastrels
    are out to destroy him!
[21:30] ---
    In that case, I must catch her in the act.
[21:33] ---
    That malcontent...
[21:35] ---
    Kate!
[21:40] ---
    I've become quite efficient at cleaning.
[21:44] ---
    All that's left is to clean the bathroom.
[21:48] ---
    Wasn't it a shock what happened to Rum?
[21:52] ---
    You were close, weren't you?
[21:54] ---
    Yes.
[21:56] ---
    That was unfortunate.
[21:57] ---
    But living dolls no longer of service
    to Shadows House must be discarded.
[22:02] ---
    That's the way it is.
[22:18] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[22:22] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:26] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:30] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:33] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:38] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:41] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:44] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:47] ---
    If I am no one
[22:51] ---
    And I can do nothing
[22:55] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[22:58] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[23:02] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[23:07] ---
    Without a self
[23:09] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[23:14] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[23:17] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[23:21] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[23:24] ---
    Not up to snuff
[23:26] ---
    I can't even bluff
[23:32] ---
    Would you believe this stuff?

[00:07] ---
    Now, let's get to work
[00:11] ---
    Emilico, when you first arrived...
[00:12] ---
    Let's make ourselves useful
[00:15] ---
    ...you served the Shadows family
    without question.
[00:16] ---
    Don't fret over trivial matters
[00:19] ---
    I couldn't trust you.
[00:22] ---
    But it was because
    of the coffee, wasn't it?
[00:22] ---
    For the sake of the Shadows family
[00:26] ---
    And you were made to
    drink it again at the debut,
[00:31] ---
    just when you were regaining
    a sense of who you really are.
[00:38] ---
    Emilico is the type that keeps everything.
[00:41] ---
    There should be some
    sort of a hint in her room.
[00:46] ---
    I will get you back,
[00:50] ---
    dearly beloved Emilico.
[02:24] ---
    "The Dark Drink"
[02:24] ---
    The Shadows Family's Teachings.
[02:26] ---
    Before the debut,
    shadows may not interact with others.
[02:30] ---
    One must read this book
    to learn the rules to live by.
[02:33] ---
    Lord Grandfather is absolute.
[02:36] ---
    Always have your living doll with you.
[02:39] ---
    Cherish your contact
    with your living doll.
[02:42] ---
    Maintain your dignity as a master
[02:44] ---
    while improving the
    chemistry with your face."
[02:47] ---
    It also provides information on the
    house's wings and the Star Bearers.
[02:54] ---
    As for soot, there's a section on how
    it's emitted due to negative feelings
[02:59] ---
    and how scorches spawn
    if you don't clean, but that's about it.
[03:03] ---
    There are other books,
[03:05] ---
    but they explain how to
    become a more cultured noble.
[03:09] ---
    They don't teach children
    what's really important.
[03:15] ---
    The living doll's manual
    emphasizes loyalty to Shadows House
[03:19] ---
    and the importance of being a living doll.
[03:22] ---
    It also covers scorches,
[03:25] ---
    but it doesn't appear
    Emilico read that far.
[03:31] ---
    That should be hung up.
[03:38] ---
    She always kept it in her pocket.
[03:42] ---
    I feel sorry for you, too.
[03:44] ---
    May you one day play with Emilico again.
[03:54] ---
    Crash landing.
[04:09] ---
    "'Don't Fret' Notebook"?
[04:11] ---
    Emilico hid something from me?
[04:14] ---
    Forgive me, but I must read this.
[04:17] ---
    This notebook is for writing down
    things I should not think about
[04:22] ---
    so I can forget all about them.
[04:25] ---
    Wouldn't that make her
    remember them even more?
[04:28] ---
    That's just like her.
[04:30] ---
    "Great hall major cleaning
    with the other living dolls.
[04:34] ---
    Team members: Mia, Rosemary, Lou."
[04:38] ---
    Should she really be thinking about that?
[04:41] ---
    I might as well use this as a diary, too.
[04:44] ---
    Now she's making excuses.
[04:46] ---
    The phantom mayhem
    that Emilico told me about
[04:49] ---
    isn't mentioned in
    "The Shadows Family's Teachings."
[04:54] ---
    "Night watch duty."
[04:56] ---
    So she had to do that as punishment?
[04:58] ---
    I wish she would've told me the truth.
[05:01] ---
    I didn't want Mistress Kate
    to get angry, so I kept it a secret.
[05:05] ---
    Hey! That makes me seem ill-tempered.
[05:33] ---
    Soot sickness? Drink lots of water?
[05:37] ---
    That's how Rosemary was cured?
[05:44] ---
    You want me to drink this water?
[05:46] ---
    That's right. You'll listen to
    what Kate wants, won't you?
[05:50] ---
    Of course.
[06:00] ---
    Based on her notebook,
[06:02] ---
    soot sickness seems to be
    a sort of mental derangement.
[06:05] ---
    But those who drink the coffee
    fall into a state of insane loyalty.
[06:10] ---
    The symptoms may differ slightly,
    but they are both forms of insanity.
[06:16] ---
    That coffee was most
    likely doctored with soot.
[06:23] ---
    Um, I don't think I can drink any more.
[06:30] ---
    Keep drinking.
[06:33] ---
    Why hide the truth about
    soot from us younger shadows?
[06:38] ---
    Is it because if we knew
    about soot sickness
[06:41] ---
    and noticed how our dolls change
[06:43] ---
    after drinking the coffee,
[06:45] ---
    we'd try to cure them?
[06:56] ---
    Emilico.
[06:58] ---
    How do you feel about
    what happened to Rum?
[07:03] ---
    Why are you asking me that now?
[07:08] ---
    Drink.
[07:09] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[07:14] ---
    I don't want you to forget.
[07:16] ---
    Emilico, you had regained
    your sense of self.
[07:28] ---
    Emilico.
[07:32] ---
    Forgive me!
[07:50] ---
    That's enough!
[07:54] ---
    You don't have to drink any more!
[07:56] ---
    You must forgive, Kate!
    That must've been difficult!
[07:59] ---
    It's not that.
[08:02] ---
    I don't understand.
[08:04] ---
    I remember.
[08:06] ---
    I remember what
    happened in the debut hall.
[08:11] ---
    I can't believe it, and I'm so very sad.
[08:16] ---
    But no matter how much
    I think about that day,
[08:20] ---
    the only feelings that
    come to me are those of joy.
[08:25] ---
    How could I feel joy
    when Rum's no longer here?
[08:28] ---
    She tried so very hard.
[08:32] ---
    It's...
[08:35] ---
    ...too much to bear!
[08:46] ---
    Feel better now?
[08:48] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[08:51] ---
    You should rest.
[08:55] ---
    Listen, Emilico.
[08:57] ---
    Kate is going to tell you
    something just between us.
[09:06] ---
    Such a tedious task.
[09:08] ---
    We must all take turns.
[09:09] ---
    And is it not a delight to portray
    fine nobles beloved by the people?
[09:19] ---
    The soot train!
[09:20] ---
    Visitors from the Shadows family!
[09:23] ---
    I trust the offerings are prepared?
[09:25] ---
    Why, you could cut this air with a knife.
[09:29] ---
    Though it's not as thick
    as Grandfather's soot.
[09:32] ---
    Breathing the soot from
    the soot coal each day
[09:35] ---
    prevents normal thinking,
    making the villagers easy to manipulate.
[09:43] ---
    We have plenty of soot coal for you.
    Make good use of it.
[09:47] ---
    Thank you.
    We so eagerly awaited this gift.
[09:51] ---
    Let's get to it.
[09:53] ---
    Yes, lord. This way, if you please.
[10:10] ---
    Come now. No need to be so nervous.
[10:13] ---
    What a fine complexion.
[10:16] ---
    Let us choose more girls this time.
[10:25] ---
    This time, the prestigious
    assignments go to these three.
[10:29] ---
    This is the ceremony
    for entering our manor.
[10:32] ---
    Now,
[10:34] ---
    drink.
[10:46] ---
    A little bitter, is it not?
[10:48] ---
    Congratulations.
    The Shadows family welcomes you.
[10:52] ---
    You are the pride of your families.
[11:00] ---
    How wonderful that
    your daughter was chosen.
[11:03] ---
    Yes, she'll live a life of privilege,
    working at the manor.
[11:08] ---
    What would we do without the manor?
[11:23] ---
    The joyous birth of some
    new shadows draws near!
[11:27] ---
    May you become fine, young living dolls.
[11:33] ---
    There are several villages
    surrounding the manor.
[11:36] ---
    You were born in one of them,
[11:38] ---
    but your memory was erased before
    you were brought to Shadows House.
[11:43] ---
    Emilico, you're human.
[11:47] ---
    Shadows House has wronged us.
[11:50] ---
    For both shadows and living dolls,
    this place is a prison.
[11:55] ---
    It must be bewildering.
[12:00] ---
    Umm... May I borrow a mirror?
[12:05] ---
    I always wanted to see a human!
[12:08] ---
    So this is what they look like?
    They look just like a living doll!
[12:11] ---
    No, you weren't listening.
    There's no such thing as a living doll.
[12:16] ---
    Oh, right!
[12:20] ---
    It's all so confusing, but...
[12:23] ---
    I believe you, Mistress Kate!
[12:27] ---
    If we're all human, I'd like to help
    everyone return to their villages!
[13:02] ---
    Emilico, a word, please.
[13:13] ---
    Emilico?
[13:18] ---
    It was before the debut.
[13:22] ---
    John saw a living doll go tumbling
    down while gazing out the window.
[13:26] ---
    Wanting to see more,
    John snuck outside without Shaun noticing.
[13:34] ---
    Emilico, you tried to protect
    that which you treasure.
[13:37] ---
    That is progress.
[13:39] ---
    It's...
[13:41] ---
    ...difficult to explain,
[13:42] ---
    but John fell for Kate at that moment.
[13:48] ---
    Please come to John's room
    if you'd consider getting engaged to him.
[13:59] ---
    You came!
[14:01] ---
    So you agree to get engaged--
[14:02] ---
    Emilico is gone!
[14:04] ---
    Huh?
[14:05] ---
    Kate freed her from their brainwashing.
[14:08] ---
    Brainwashing?
[14:09] ---
    Yes. John, please listen.
[14:12] ---
    Emilico and the other
    living dolls are human.
[14:16] ---
    They were brainwashed by Shadows House.
[14:19] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about, Kate?
[14:21] ---
    Living dolls are human?
[14:23] ---
    They're brainwashed?
[14:25] ---
    It's true!
[14:26] ---
    After Kate freed Emilico's mind
    and told her the truth,
[14:31] ---
    she completely vanished.
[14:35] ---
    So Shaun... he's human, too?
[14:38] ---
    Yes.
[14:43] ---
    I'm done cleaning the bathroom.
[14:47] ---
    John, think carefully.
[14:49] ---
    You must've noticed Shaun
    acting a bit differently.
[14:52] ---
    Different?
[14:54] ---
    Shaun, why are you wearing glasses?
[14:57] ---
    So I can work more efficiently.
[14:59] ---
    Of course, I'll remove
    them outside your room.
[15:02] ---
    You said you'd always try
    to match how John looked.
[15:06] ---
    As you wish.
[15:07] ---
    You're so... compliant?!
[15:09] ---
    You could at least argue a little bit!
[15:12] ---
    You're like you were when we first met.
[15:18] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Shaun often used to lecture John.
[15:22] ---
    But not anymore.
[15:24] ---
    What's this forlorn feeling?
    It's as if his heart's gone cold.
[15:29] ---
    Shaun, you know you don't have to
    pledge your loyalty to Shadows House?
[15:38] ---
    Master John, Shadows House is absolute!
[15:42] ---
    Shaun, you never glared
    at John like that before!
[15:47] ---
    What's wrong?! Snap out of it!
[15:49] ---
    Please, calm down--
[15:50] ---
    Listen, Shaun. Emilico has disappeared!
[15:53] ---
    That's right. You must be shocked!
[15:55] ---
    It's terrible news!
[15:57] ---
    John is going to look for her.
[15:59] ---
    And he's going with or without you!
[16:01] ---
    It's forbidden to leave your room
    without your living doll.
[16:05] ---
    When did you become so coldhearted?!
[16:09] ---
    John, stop it!
[16:11] ---
    Mistress Kate, what are you doing here?
[16:13] ---
    Let go, Kate!
[16:15] ---
    We're going to settle this, man to man.
[16:17] ---
    Please, stop this! My face will get--
[16:21] ---
    Who cares about your face?
[16:23] ---
    John wants the old Shaun back!
[16:26] ---
    Look at John!
[16:28] ---
    He's crying!
[16:29] ---
    Do you know why?
[16:31] ---
    Because John's heart aches!
[16:35] ---
    Stop!
[16:38] ---
    I'm the one feeling pain!
[16:44] ---
    Now that's the real Shaun.
[16:47] ---
    However... it's still not enough!
[17:12] ---
    I've failed as a living doll, haven't I?
[17:16] ---
    To do something so foolish to my master...
[17:23] ---
    That's because...
[17:24] ---
    ...you're human, Shaun.
[17:41] ---
    Where could Kate be?
[17:43] ---
    Louise had something
    wonderful to show her.
[18:01] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:05] ---
    Louise!
[18:07] ---
    Kate, John, you're just awful.
[18:09] ---
    You were trying to
    exclude Louise, weren't you?!
[18:12] ---
    No! We were in a hurry!
[18:15] ---
    Take your quarrel elsewhere.
[18:17] ---
    Forgive the sudden intrusion.
[18:21] ---
    But there's something you need to hear.
[18:27] ---
    Emilico is gone?!
[18:30] ---
    Yes. Please help Kate look for her!
[18:35] ---
    Who was Emilico, again?
[18:39] ---
    Kate's living doll.
[18:42] ---
    What an odd name.
[18:43] ---
    But enough about that. Look!
[18:45] ---
    Louise wanted to find you
    and show you this.
[18:56] ---
    Sad face.
[18:58] ---
    Happiest face in the world!
[19:01] ---
    Fabulous, isn't it?
[19:03] ---
    Louise has complete control!
[19:05] ---
    My power is physical, but it seems there
    are also powers that affect the mind.
[19:10] ---
    Hold on. What do you mean, control?
[19:14] ---
    Kate will explain later.
[19:16] ---
    But, Patrick, now's not the time.
[19:19] ---
    Louise, were you even listening to Kate?
[19:22] ---
    Of course. You were talking
    about your living doll.
[19:26] ---
    Speaking of dolls, Louise saw a really
    tall veiled doll on the way here.
[19:32] ---
    It had a cart with a big bundle on it.
[19:35] ---
    That was probably a living doll.
[19:38] ---
    A living doll... on a cart?
[19:41] ---
    And being the clever shadow she is,
    Louise figured out who it was!
[19:45] ---
    So who was it?
[19:49] ---
    Who do you think it was?
[20:05] ---
    Wh-Who are you?!
    And why are you doing this?!
[20:09] ---
    Greetings. Please forgive
    the heavy-handed tactics.
[20:13] ---
    Who are you?
[20:14] ---
    Please take this off! I can't see a thing!
[20:17] ---
    The tea leaves are dancing
    about as if they feel the heat.
[20:21] ---
    You must start by pouring
    boiling water most vigorously
[20:24] ---
    if you wish to brew the finest tea.
[20:26] ---
    Please answer me!
[20:28] ---
    Who are you? Why are you doing this?!
[20:32] ---
    Now, all there is to do is wait.
[20:36] ---
    Edward abducted Emilico?
[20:39] ---
    His suit was visible under his robe.
[20:41] ---
    Edward is the only one
    who wears such vulgar attire.
[20:46] ---
    There can be no doubt.
    Edward must mistrust Kate.
[20:50] ---
    After all, Kate hid her soot power
    from him until the debut.
[20:54] ---
    He's likely trying to see whether
    Kate is loyal to Shadows House.
[21:00] ---
    He's pigheaded, all right.
[21:02] ---
    That lout didn't tell John
    the labyrinth's rules,
[21:05] ---
    so his clothes got dirty!
[21:07] ---
    You should've seen Shaun's
    downcast look when he saw that!
[21:10] ---
    Louise detests Edward, too!
[21:13] ---
    Those trees he used in the
    debut labyrinth were full of thorns!
[21:17] ---
    They could have scratched
    Lou's beautiful face!
[21:22] ---
    Ricky suffered even worse!
[21:24] ---
    Edward tried to crush him with a boulder!
[21:28] ---
    Shirley's failure at the debut was,
    no doubt, Edward's doing!
[21:33] ---
    Patrick will help.
[21:37] ---
    Louise detests Edward, too,
    so she will gladly lend a hand.
[21:42] ---
    Louise.
[21:43] ---
    The living dolls were quite
    helpful during the debut.
[21:48] ---
    It's time the shadows pay that debt.
[21:54] ---
    Now that that's settled,
    we must move quickly.
[21:58] ---
    We're dealing with Edward, after all.
    Who knows what he will do to Emilico?
[22:06] ---
    Emilico...
[22:18] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[22:22] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:26] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:30] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:33] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:38] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:41] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:44] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:47] ---
    If I am no one
[22:51] ---
    And I can do nothing
[22:55] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[22:58] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[23:02] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[23:07] ---
    Without a self
[23:09] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[23:14] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[23:17] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[23:21] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[23:24] ---
    Not up to snuff
[23:26] ---
    I can't even bluff
[23:32] ---
    Would you believe this stuff?

[01:37] ---
    "To Lord Grandfather's Wing"
[01:41] ---
    Who are you?
[01:48] ---
    Tea truly is a fine beverage.
[01:51] ---
    Pour boiling water upon the leaves,
[01:53] ---
    replace the teapot's lid,
    and patiently let it brew.
[01:57] ---
    The key is to not be hasty.
[01:59] ---
    Then open the lid,
    gently stir with a spoon,
[02:02] ---
    and pour it through a tea strainer.
[02:07] ---
    Finally, enjoy the aroma
[02:10] ---
    with one's first sip.
[02:15] ---
    This is how adults drink it.
[02:17] ---
    Are you not thirsty?
[02:19] ---
    Just a little.
[02:22] ---
    Let us prepare you a cup
    with plenty of sugar.
[02:25] ---
    That is, if you answer these questions.
[02:28] ---
    Your mistress is a malcontent, is she not?
[02:33] ---
    What is Kate trying to do?
[02:36] ---
    I have nothing to say to you.
[02:39] ---
    I don't know who you are,
[02:41] ---
    but I won't say a word without
    Mistress Kate's permission.
[02:44] ---
    Is that so?
[02:45] ---
    Th-Threatening me is a waste of time!
[02:48] ---
    I can go without drinking anything for a--
[02:58] ---
    I should have finished
    that roll before I left.
[03:02] ---
    You lack a sense of apprehension.
[03:07] ---
    But there's plenty of time.
[03:09] ---
    I will expose everything come morning
    and present it before Lord Grandfather.
[03:15] ---
    Edward is in Lord Grandfather's wing.
[03:19] ---
    So we'll have to sneak in there?
[03:21] ---
    Is such a thing even possible?
[03:25] ---
    Perhaps not.
[03:26] ---
    Could you take this a bit more seriously?!
[03:28] ---
    Well, where is your brilliant idea?
[03:32] ---
    Nothing has come to mind yet.
[03:36] ---
    Shaun.
[03:37] ---
    Yes? May I be of service?
[03:39] ---
    Do you have any ideas?
[03:42] ---
    You're always so calm and observant,
[03:45] ---
    or so Emilico said.
[03:48] ---
    Please share your advice.
[03:50] ---
    She's right! You really
    are smart, aren't you?!
[03:56] ---
    Very well. Please give me
    a moment to think.
[04:01] ---
    Think.
[04:03] ---
    How can we get into Lord Grandfather's
    wing without anyone noticing?
[04:07] ---
    I've nothing to go on.
[04:10] ---
    That wing of the manor is
    a complete mystery to me.
[04:13] ---
    There may even be traps of some sort.
[04:17] ---
    The corridor to Lord Grandfather's wing
    is the only way I know how to get there.
[04:22] ---
    But there are veiled dolls
    standing guard at the entrance.
[04:28] ---
    Shaun?
[04:31] ---
    There is one way.
[04:34] ---
    One that's proven successful.
[04:44] ---
    That's so yummy!
[04:46] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:47] ---
    I'm eating a roll.
[04:51] ---
    You're a stubborn one.
[04:53] ---
    But how much longer can
    you keep up this charade?
[04:56] ---
    I don't need to. I'm not hungry anymore!
[04:59] ---
    You may be freed from your bonds
    if you reveal what Kate intends to do.
[05:05] ---
    The answer's no!
[05:06] ---
    Then remain as you are.
[05:08] ---
    I say no to that, too!
[05:09] ---
    Then, what of Kate's--
[05:10] ---
    No!
[05:12] ---
    Do you understand the situation you're in?
[05:17] ---
    Are you even listening?!
[05:19] ---
    I-I got sleepy because I'm so full.
[05:23] ---
    I know! Let's have a
    delightful conversation!
[05:26] ---
    After all, I can't imagine you're
    doing this because you want to.
[05:30] ---
    I can't talk about Mistress Kate,
    but I'll listen to all you have to say.
[05:35] ---
    Let's talk about lots of things!
[05:37] ---
    That would certainly
    be more fun than this!
[05:41] ---
    You'll be the death of me.
[05:51] ---
    Calm yourself, Edward.
    This isn't that difficult.
[05:56] ---
    We'll slip into the other wing
    through this connecting corridor.
[06:01] ---
    We'll disguise ourselves as veiled dolls.
[06:03] ---
    Of course! That's how
    Edward pulled it off!
[06:08] ---
    Impressive, Shaun! You're so perceptive!
[06:10] ---
    You're embarrassing me, Master John.
[06:14] ---
    Kate will go.
[06:16] ---
    John will, too!
[06:17] ---
    The more of us that go,
    the greater the risk of discovery.
[06:21] ---
    But we've no idea where Emilico is!
    We must split up and look for--
[06:25] ---
    That won't work. We've no
    way of maintaining contact.
[06:29] ---
    Kate will go alone.
[06:32] ---
    Yes, but searching the
    entire wing alone is impossible.
[06:37] ---
    Kate read a book about it.
[06:38] ---
    In Lord Grandfather's wing,
[06:40] ---
    the higher the floor,
    the more important the shadows.
[06:43] ---
    There's a first, a second,
    and a third floor.
[06:46] ---
    Which one do you suppose Edward is on?
[06:49] ---
    What John doesn't get
    is why one so important
[06:51] ---
    would resort to sneaky
    measures like an abduction.
[06:54] ---
    Yes, that is sneaky.
[06:57] ---
    Why take such a risk?
[06:59] ---
    You will have to steal a
    veiled doll's uniform, won't you?
[07:04] ---
    How will you manage that?
[07:06] ---
    There must be a room
    somewhere where they keep--
[07:12] ---
    Who could that be at this hour?
[07:15] ---
    Patrick, what's all the racket?
    Open the door this instant.
[07:20] ---
    Isn't that...?
[07:21] ---
    Barbara!
[07:22] ---
    That Star Bearer?!
[07:24] ---
    Oh no. She must've heard us.
[07:26] ---
    Let's escape through Ricky's room.
[07:28] ---
    But living dolls' rooms
    are locked from the outside.
[07:31] ---
    John will bust it open if he must!
[07:34] ---
    No, they'll suspect Patrick
    if the lock is broken.
[07:38] ---
    How long will you make Barbara wait?
    Open the door now!
[07:42] ---
    The time for thinking is over.
[07:44] ---
    Just let Patrick and Ricky
    handle this. The rest of you, go!
[07:49] ---
    All right. Thank you.
[07:54] ---
    Ricky, that chair...
[07:57] ---
    Barbara! What brings you here so late?
[08:00] ---
    Several voices were heard
    coming from this room.
[08:04] ---
    As a Star Bearer,
    Barbara will search every inch.
[08:07] ---
    You must be mistaken.
[08:09] ---
    If that's the case, you won't take issue.
[08:12] ---
    Barbie, get to work.
[08:18] ---
    It's no use. It's locked.
[08:20] ---
    Then John shall bust it down!
[08:23] ---
    Quiet!
[08:31] ---
    Excuse me. We need help! Over here!
[08:34] ---
    Louise?! What are you doing?!
[08:37] ---
    Thank you for making the rounds.
[08:39] ---
    Huh? Who are you talking--
[08:49] ---
    Now, let's get out of here.
[08:51] ---
    What just happened?
[08:54] ---
    Louise's soot can control dolls.
    Have you forgotten already?
[09:01] ---
    There's no one else here.
[09:04] ---
    That leaves the living doll's room.
[09:22] ---
    What do we do now?
[09:23] ---
    Get a uniform for starters.
[09:26] ---
    Louise will make the doll show us the way!
[09:29] ---
    All right. Kate will go with Louise.
[09:32] ---
    What about John and Shaun?
[09:34] ---
    Let's go assess the situation
    over at the other wing.
[09:38] ---
    Perhaps we'll find a way to sneak in.
[09:41] ---
    Great! Let's meet in front
    of that corridor, Kate!
[09:45] ---
    All right. Make sure no one sees you.
[09:49] ---
    No one's there.
[09:51] ---
    It must've been our heated conversation.
    We'll try to be more careful.
[09:56] ---
    Hmph.
[09:57] ---
    Since when have you been on watch duty?
[10:01] ---
    After Edward was put in charge
    of the children's wing,
[10:05] ---
    he told us to report any trouble,
    no matter how small.
[10:09] ---
    Edward's in charge?!
[10:10] ---
    Perhaps the debut was well received.
[10:13] ---
    So it seems. But why bother
    reporting minor problems?
[10:18] ---
    He's quite the social climber.
[10:21] ---
    It's so infuriating!
[10:24] ---
    Mistress Barbara.
[10:26] ---
    It is time for us to go.
[10:28] ---
    See that you avoid actions that
    may be deemed suspicious, Patrick.
[10:32] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:46] ---
    That was close.
[10:47] ---
    But we learned something
    that might help Emilico.
[10:51] ---
    Why do this?
[10:52] ---
    Huh?
[10:53] ---
    Why go out of your way
    to help that living doll?
[11:02] ---
    Don't call her "that living doll."
[11:05] ---
    Her name is Emilico.
[11:06] ---
    And you are Ricky.
[11:15] ---
    Well, there they are.
[11:17] ---
    And if John has to--
[11:18] ---
    No, Master John, no punching.
    What if they call for backup?
[11:25] ---
    The wings are farther apart than
    I thought, and the cliff is high.
[11:29] ---
    It's hard to see when it's so dark.
[11:32] ---
    We've only been over there once,
    and that was during the debut.
[11:36] ---
    We must piece together
    what it might look like in there
[11:39] ---
    based on our memories
    and what we see here.
[11:47] ---
    How's this?
[11:50] ---
    Yes, not bad.
[11:52] ---
    That's a relief.
[11:53] ---
    Well, this is as far as Louise goes.
[11:56] ---
    She cannot take any further risks.
[11:59] ---
    But best of luck to you.
[12:01] ---
    Understood.
[12:04] ---
    You've been quite helpful. Thank you.
[12:07] ---
    It was nothing. Louise merely
    wished to show off her soot power.
[12:12] ---
    Right. Well, keep your fingers crossed.
[12:21] ---
    Mistress Louise?
[12:23] ---
    This time it is Kate that he is after,
[12:26] ---
    but it could have easily been Louise.
[12:29] ---
    If that happened, it would've
    been you who were abducted.
[12:33] ---
    But Louise would never
    let him lay a hand on you!
[12:35] ---
    That no-good Edward is loathsome!
[12:46] ---
    Oh, no! They've found us!
[12:47] ---
    Let's run for it!
[12:49] ---
    Wait! It's Kate!
[12:51] ---
    Kate?!
[12:53] ---
    The first floor of our wing connects
    to the basement over there.
[12:58] ---
    Once you're through the corridor,
    find the stairs that lead up.
[13:02] ---
    Understood.
[13:03] ---
    They must have watch duty
    over there as well.
[13:06] ---
    But if it's just veiled dolls,
    it shouldn't pose a problem.
[13:11] ---
    Yes, but reaching the third floor
    sounds nearly impossible.
[13:14] ---
    No need for that.
[13:18] ---
    Patrick! Ricky! So glad you're safe.
[13:20] ---
    Barbara had something interesting to say.
[13:23] ---
    Edward's in charge of the children's wing,
    and he seeks to rise to the third floor.
[13:28] ---
    In short--
[13:29] ---
    He lives on the first or second floor!
[13:30] ---
    That's still a lot of rooms.
    You can't possibly search them all.
[13:35] ---
    Leave it to Kate.
[13:39] ---
    Something came to mind.
[13:44] ---
    Don't bungle this.
[13:46] ---
    We're counting on you.
[13:47] ---
    We will make it back, both of us.
[13:50] ---
    John will join you.
[13:52] ---
    Master John!
[13:53] ---
    Doesn't this worry you sick?!
[13:55] ---
    John will go in your stead!
[13:57] ---
    You've already done more
    than enough, but thanks.
[14:01] ---
    Thanks to the rest of you, too.
[14:05] ---
    Time to go.
[14:56] ---
    It seems she made it safely in.
[15:00] ---
    We should return to our rooms.
    It'll spell trouble if the watch finds us.
[15:09] ---
    We should go, too, Master John.
[15:12] ---
    All right.
[15:32] ---
    This looks like a cup for that coffee.
    So this is where they make it.
[15:39] ---
    Nothing out of the ordinary.
[15:41] ---
    Perhaps they do something
    after they brew the coffee.
[16:09] ---
    I am doing this for Kate's sake as well.
[16:13] ---
    Huh?
[16:14] ---
    I want to help before it's too late,
    but you must cooperate.
[16:18] ---
    I don't understand.
[16:20] ---
    As it stands now, Kate is to be discarded.
[16:23] ---
    But why?!
[16:25] ---
    Because you are useless.
[16:27] ---
    You are such a failure that Kate
    is unable to advance any higher.
[16:32] ---
    That is why she rebels
    against Shadows House.
[16:35] ---
    It's akin to a child's temper tantrum.
    It's merely out of spite.
[16:39] ---
    Don't speak ill of Mistress Kate!
[16:42] ---
    Is there nothing you can tell me?
[16:44] ---
    After all, you're always
    fretting over trivial matters.
[16:47] ---
    You ignore the rules.
[16:49] ---
    Your failure to obey Shadows House's code
    led Kate down the wrong path.
[16:54] ---
    Do you deny it?
[16:56] ---
    B-But...
[16:59] ---
    Listen. I'm giving you a chance here.
[17:03] ---
    Confess to everything,
    and I shall help Kate.
[17:07] ---
    You're the only one who can save her now.
[17:11] ---
    So, out with it. What is Kate planning?
[17:21] ---
    A large box?
[17:23] ---
    Don't tell me--!
[17:33] ---
    Rolly, if you're there, move for Kate.
[17:35] ---
    Give Kate a sign.
[17:39] ---
    Let's try that again with more conviction.
[17:43] ---
    Emilico!
[17:51] ---
    Soot?
[17:54] ---
    No, finding Emilico is the only thing
    that's important right now.
[18:13] ---
    Rolly!
[18:15] ---
    Rolly? What's that?
[18:16] ---
    Oh, uh... nothing.
[18:19] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[18:22] ---
    Now, answer me. What is Kate planning?
[18:27] ---
    Mistress Kate...
[18:29] ---
    ...is braver than anyone
[18:31] ---
    and kinder, too.
[18:34] ---
    She is my cherished mistress!
[18:38] ---
    How absurd!
[18:48] ---
    Look at this mess.
[18:57] ---
    Don't make a sound.
[19:03] ---
    Is that the cart used to abduct Emilico?
[19:13] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[19:15] ---
    Is everything all right?
    We heard something.
[19:22] ---
    So you really did take her.
[19:24] ---
    Let's speak outside.
[19:32] ---
    That sound...
[19:34] ---
    I believe it was a cup that broke
    after Rolly crashed into it.
[19:41] ---
    Mistress Kate wept as she made me
    drink glass after glass of water
[19:45] ---
    so I could become myself again.
[19:48] ---
    She called me Emilico so that
    I would be my own person.
[19:53] ---
    And she is ever kind and watches out
    for me, even though I'm so clumsy!
[20:02] ---
    Mistress Kate is here!
[20:05] ---
    Mistress Kate. Mistress Kate!
[20:13] ---
    All right. No one's here.
[20:27] ---
    Just stay calm.
[20:33] ---
    Where are you going?
[20:36] ---
    Edward said an intruder was coming,
[20:39] ---
    so I thought I'd have a look.
[20:42] ---
    If they are trying to
    save that living doll,
[20:44] ---
    they'll use a veiled-doll
    disguise like Edward did.
[20:50] ---
    And they'll be pushing a cart as well.
[20:53] ---
    But I doubt they could
    get it to the second floor.
[20:56] ---
    The number of carts in the basement
    will tell us if they are here.
[21:08] ---
    Oh, no. I must rescue
    Emilico before they return.
[21:16] ---
    Rolly, heed this call if you're there.
[21:20] ---
    Where is Emilico?
[21:23] ---
    Please respond!
[21:25] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[21:30] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[21:32] ---
    Emilico!
[21:33] ---
    In here, Mistress Kate!
[21:38] ---
    Emilico?
[21:39] ---
    Where are you? Where are you?!
[21:46] ---
    Emilico!
[21:50] ---
    Are you all right?!
[21:51] ---
    Let's take this off.
[21:53] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[21:55] ---
    It's such a relief to see you safe.
    Let's get out of here.
[21:58] ---
    Behind you, Mistress Kate!
[22:00] ---
    What?
[22:02] ---
    Here at last, I see.
[22:08] ---
    Mistress Kate.
[22:18] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[22:22] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:26] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:30] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:33] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:38] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:41] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:44] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:47] ---
    If I am no one
[22:51] ---
    And I can do nothing
[22:55] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[22:58] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[23:02] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[23:07] ---
    Without a self
[23:09] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[23:14] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[23:17] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[23:21] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[23:24] ---
    Not up to snuff

[00:07] ---
    Rolly, heed this call if you're there.
[00:11] ---
    Where is Emilico?
[00:14] ---
    Please respond!
[00:16] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[00:22] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[00:23] ---
    Emilico!
[00:24] ---
    In here, Mistress Kate!
[00:29] ---
    Emilico?
[00:31] ---
    Where are you? Where are you?!
[00:37] ---
    Emilico!
[00:40] ---
    Are you all right?!
[00:42] ---
    Let's take this off.
[00:44] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[00:46] ---
    It's a relief to see you're safe.
    Let's get out of here.
[00:49] ---
    Behind you, Mistress Kate!
[00:51] ---
    What?
[00:53] ---
    So, you're here at last!
[00:59] ---
    Mistress Kate.
[01:01] ---
    Edward.
[01:04] ---
    It was well worth the wait, Kate.
[01:07] ---
    I was sure you would come,
[01:09] ---
    for you are a shadow who
    truly cares for her doll.
[01:13] ---
    So it was Kate you were after all along.
[01:19] ---
    Come morning, I'll bring you
    before Lord Grandfather
[01:23] ---
    and expose you as a malcontent
    and enemy of Shadows House.
[01:26] ---
    Then I'll likely rise to the third floor,
    my long-cherished wish.
[01:31] ---
    Now, Kate, answer me this.
[01:36] ---
    What is it you're planning?
[01:40] ---
    If you think you'll get away with this
    by not answering, you are mistaken.
[01:44] ---
    Even if you're not a malcontent,
    I can accuse you of breaking the rules.
[01:49] ---
    After all, I found you dressed like
    this in Lord Grandfather's wing.
[01:54] ---
    Kate is here to save Emilico,
    whom you abducted.
[01:57] ---
    Do you truly think he would believe you?
[02:00] ---
    I'm an adult, and you're but a child.
[02:02] ---
    It's obvious which one
    Lord Grandfather would believe.
[02:08] ---
    The outcome of our battle
    was decided from the start, Kate.
[02:15] ---
    Now, let us wait for
    Lord Grandfather to wake.
[02:20] ---
    A harsh penalty no doubt awaits you.
[02:23] ---
    This may be your last cup of tea.
[02:29] ---
    Say your prayers.
[02:31] ---
    It's all over for you.
[03:06] ---
    Kate! John's coming for you!
[04:40] ---
    "For the Sake of the Shadows Family"
[04:44] ---
    What floor was it again?
[04:52] ---
    Who are you?!
[04:58] ---
    Go away, you creepy little thing.
[05:01] ---
    John, I mean, I am seeking Edward's room.
[05:09] ---
    You want me to follow you?
[05:11] ---
    Who would fall for--?
[05:14] ---
    There were two extra carts.
    That means two intruders.
[05:18] ---
    Let's keep our eyes peeled.
[05:20] ---
    I will inform Edward.
[05:24] ---
    They must be disguised as veiled dolls.
[05:32] ---
    I-I shall search for the intruders!
[05:35] ---
    It spoke.
[05:41] ---
    Get back here!
[05:55] ---
    Now you won't cause any more trouble.
[06:10] ---
    Not a sound.
[06:18] ---
    It's so cute!
[06:21] ---
    I'll expose them all for
    the malcontents they are.
[06:25] ---
    That will ensure my
    advance to the third floor.
[06:34] ---
    Behaving yourselves?
[06:37] ---
    It seems you finally conceded defeat.
[06:39] ---
    It's beyond foolish to defy Shadows House.
[06:42] ---
    But it's too late to rue your mistake.
[06:46] ---
    Your last cup of tea has gone cold.
[06:49] ---
    Oh, my bad. You can't drink it
    in your present state.
[07:00] ---
    Now!
[07:04] ---
    What the--?!
[07:05] ---
    Emilico!
[07:09] ---
    Hey, wait!
[07:16] ---
    No, it's John.
[07:19] ---
    Master John!
[07:21] ---
    You came to save us.
[07:22] ---
    Naturally.
[07:24] ---
    But now John would like some help.
[07:27] ---
    What do we do now?
[07:30] ---
    You again?
[07:32] ---
    She's on our side.
[07:34] ---
    Hurry!
[07:41] ---
    Did you find John?
[07:43] ---
    No, I believe he went to the
    other wing to save Mistress Kate.
[07:48] ---
    Of all the harebrained ideas.
[07:50] ---
    Let's hope he doesn't
    do more harm than good.
[07:52] ---
    What of Louise and Lou?
[07:55] ---
    They were weary and
    returned to their rooms.
[07:57] ---
    You're all no help at all.
[08:00] ---
    They should be back by now
    if it went as planned.
[08:04] ---
    This is most worrisome.
[08:06] ---
    I'm sorry it's causing you such concern.
[08:09] ---
    However, I believe in Master John.
[08:11] ---
    He will return with those two.
[08:14] ---
    But then Edward will no doubt--
[08:18] ---
    That will be Patrick's cue
    to spring into action.
[08:21] ---
    How can Patrick stop him?
[08:23] ---
    Oh, no, it's just...
[08:26] ---
    Apologies for being so incompetent.
[08:35] ---
    Master Patrick, I think your desire to
    save your friends is second to none.
[08:43] ---
    Your greatest power is your
    brave and beautiful heart.
[08:52] ---
    If so, it's because of you.
[08:55] ---
    During the debut,
[08:57] ---
    you tearfully pleaded with John
    and Shaun to take care of Patrick.
[09:04] ---
    Master Patrick.
[09:14] ---
    The roof?
[09:17] ---
    You mean it wants us
    to escape by jumping?!
[09:27] ---
    Our wing is pretty far.
[09:29] ---
    Now I have you!
[09:38] ---
    Do not resist.
[09:40] ---
    It is all over for you,
[09:42] ---
    for you have defied Shadows House
    and entered this wing without permission.
[09:46] ---
    Not before you trespassed
    in the children's wing!
[09:49] ---
    Who is going to believe
    your word over mine?
[10:03] ---
    Kate! Take Emilico and jump!
[10:06] ---
    What about you, John?!
[10:07] ---
    Just go already!
[10:09] ---
    Why are you still flapping your gums?!
[10:16] ---
    Emilico, hold on tight.
[10:19] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:28] ---
    Give it up, Kate.
[10:30] ---
    Your soot power will
    not take you that far.
[10:38] ---
    They'll end up plunging to their death.
[10:41] ---
    A fitting end for a foolish malcontent.
[10:44] ---
    That's what you think!
[10:50] ---
    John is not about to let Kate perish!
[11:01] ---
    Don't you ever
    underestimate John and company.
[11:09] ---
    Aileen!
[11:16] ---
    John is not about to let Kate perish!
[11:29] ---
    We might not make it.
[11:32] ---
    Mistress Kate, please forgive me.
[11:35] ---
    Having to hold on to me
[11:37] ---
    is a terrible burden for you,
    Mistress Kate, and for Master John.
[11:43] ---
    Now is not the time for that.
[11:48] ---
    Emilico, be still!
[11:50] ---
    Mistress Kate.
[11:56] ---
    So something did go wrong.
[11:58] ---
    This is the only way in or out.
[12:03] ---
    Look!
[12:06] ---
    Wh-What the--?!
[12:16] ---
    Mistress Kate! Emilico!
[12:18] ---
    Over here!
[12:19] ---
    Slowly now! Don't panic!
[12:25] ---
    Oh, no!
[12:37] ---
    You're safe.
[12:39] ---
    Not yet!
[12:47] ---
    Edward.
[12:49] ---
    Run for it!
[12:56] ---
    Kate, what happened to John?
[12:59] ---
    He used his soot power to send us flying.
[13:02] ---
    But he may be unable
    to move because of it.
[13:13] ---
    Mistress Kate!
[13:19] ---
    Edward.
[13:21] ---
    You've been nothing but trouble!
[13:25] ---
    This is the children's wing!
[13:28] ---
    We won't let you just do as you please!
[13:30] ---
    Who do you think you're speaking to?!
[13:33] ---
    Know your place!
[13:35] ---
    If you wish to survive here
    in Shadows House,
[13:38] ---
    dispense with this
    inane sense of friendship!
[13:42] ---
    Now, surrender to your fate, Kate!
[13:46] ---
    And if the rest of you continue
    to bar my way, I'll discard you all!
[13:51] ---
    What exactly does that mean?
[14:06] ---
    You didn't go to bed?
[14:09] ---
    Change of plans.
[14:10] ---
    Calling Barbara was
    a fine idea, was it not?
[14:13] ---
    Now Louise is sure to be a Star Bearer!
[14:16] ---
    That's just like Louise.
[14:18] ---
    That's strange.
[14:20] ---
    You live in Lord
    Grandfather's wing, Edward.
[14:23] ---
    Yet here you are in the children's wing.
[14:26] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
    Explain yourself.
[14:29] ---
    I'm instructing them firsthand!
    That's my job!
[14:32] ---
    What sort of instruction
    is done at daybreak?
[14:35] ---
    You said, "I'll discard you all."
    How is that instruction?
[14:40] ---
    Even as caretaker,
[14:42] ---
    unauthorized entry to the
    children's wing is forbidden to you.
[14:47] ---
    The third-floor lords have
    already been informed.
[14:51] ---
    What's this?!
[14:54] ---
    They await you at the end of the corridor.
[15:00] ---
    This is all thanks to you.
[15:04] ---
    You so kindly instructed us
[15:07] ---
    to carefully watch over
    this wing each day.
[15:10] ---
    That allowed us to expose
    your serious violation.
[15:15] ---
    We're so very grateful.
[15:37] ---
    I am truly sorry for what I have done.
[15:41] ---
    It's too late to bow down
    and say you're sorry.
[15:45] ---
    Edward, you are hereby
    banished from Shadows House.
[15:49] ---
    Banished, you say?
[15:51] ---
    Naturally.
[15:53] ---
    You say you were instructing the children,
    but you entered their wing to abduct them.
[16:00] ---
    No, that was--
[16:01] ---
    You dare question us?
[16:03] ---
    You became a liability by making the faces
    fret over trivial matters at the debut.
[16:09] ---
    Shadows House has no use for you.
[16:12] ---
    It only needs those who can be
    of service to Lord Grandfather.
[16:16] ---
    Edward is banished.
[16:18] ---
    As for the other two, how about
    a demotion to the first floor?
[16:22] ---
    It's settled, then.
[16:26] ---
    What say you, Lord?
[16:32] ---
    Edward, your bold and unique instruction
    of the children was of great interest.
[16:39] ---
    However, it seems you
    have carried it a bit too far.
[16:48] ---
    To all three of you, we give you
    the sternest of reprimands.
[17:00] ---
    You got that? This is your last chance.
[17:03] ---
    Yes, sir. I shall devote
    myself body and soul.
[17:19] ---
    Were we not too lenient?
[17:24] ---
    The potential of Shadows House
    is as yet manifold.
[17:37] ---
    That was a close one.
[17:39] ---
    And yet, this puts the
    third floor further away.
[17:42] ---
    Edward, you must cease
    your self-indulgent ways.
[17:46] ---
    I have not given up yet.
[17:49] ---
    I sense love and great hopes for me
    in that magnanimous judgment.
[17:54] ---
    I will repay this debt.
[17:57] ---
    I hereby vow to get rid of
    those fiendish malcontents
[18:02] ---
    along with those third-floor maggots.
[18:07] ---
    It is all for the sake
    of Lord Grandfather!
[18:22] ---
    What is it, Emilico?
[18:24] ---
    It's hard to believe we're allowed to
    venture outside our rooms so openly.
[18:28] ---
    And it's such a joy to
    walk by your side like this.
[18:32] ---
    Is that so?
[18:34] ---
    But I wonder. What do you suppose
    happened to Master John after that?
[18:38] ---
    That is as yet unknown.
[18:44] ---
    As the newest of the bunch,
    you should have been here first.
[18:48] ---
    Apologies. Everyone arrived so quickly.
[18:52] ---
    John, you're safe and sound!
[18:54] ---
    John hung on for dear life...
[18:57] ---
    to the tail of Edward's
    soot pigeon, that is!
[19:00] ---
    It was thanks to that
    strange little creature.
[19:04] ---
    How interesting.
[19:09] ---
    Come to think of it, where's Louise?
[19:15] ---
    O Kate, most beauteous rose!
[19:17] ---
    O Louise, daisy in full bloom!
[19:19] ---
    Let the orientation begin.
[19:21] ---
    You shall learn how to lead
    proper lives at the manor!
[19:24] ---
    Thank you.
[19:26] ---
    Ready here!
[19:31] ---
    Mistress Kate, what do
    you suppose that thing was?
[19:35] ---
    What thing?
[19:36] ---
    That cute little creature that helped us.
[19:42] ---
    Yes, that was quite unusual.
[19:44] ---
    How did it know about Kate's soot powers?
[19:49] ---
    Mistress Kate? Is something the matter?
[19:52] ---
    Perhaps...
[21:05] ---
    Let us ever remember.
[21:06] ---
    The Shadows are an
    outstanding family of nobles.
[21:09] ---
    To serve them is the pride
    and joy of every living doll.
[21:20] ---
    One must never forget one's eternal
    gratitude to Shadows House.
[21:39] ---
    Though today we clean
[21:41] ---
    Tomorrow the soot will collect once more
[21:43] ---
    So let it collect
[21:46] ---
    For we shall again wipe it away
[21:49] ---
    Now, let's get to work
[21:54] ---
    Let's make ourselves useful
[21:58] ---
    Don't fret over trivial matters
[22:13] ---
    For the sake of the Shadows family.
[22:23] ---
    No ash, no, just shadow
[22:27] ---
    A no- "I" body, like a dolly
[22:31] ---
    I'm hollow, where'd I go?
[22:35] ---
    Nobody knows
[22:38] ---
    A murky "I" with black-hole eyes
[22:43] ---
    A mimic, oh my! I'm in disguise?
[22:46] ---
    "Thank you"? Thank who?
[22:49] ---
    Every answer is true
[22:52] ---
    If I am no one
[22:56] ---
    And I can do nothing
[23:00] ---
    Is it a waste to keep living?
[23:03] ---
    Is it wrong to go on?
[23:07] ---
    What's missing here is me, me, me
[23:12] ---
    Without a self
[23:14] ---
    Swept away before anyone see, see, sees
[23:19] ---
    Like dust from the shelf
[23:22] ---
    Neither happy nor sad
[23:26] ---
    Don't feel good or bad
[23:29] ---
    Not up to snuff
[23:31] ---
    I can't even bluff
[23:37] ---
    Would you believe this stuff?
