SHADOWS HOUSE
High atop a cliff sits the mansion known as Shadows House, home to a faceless clan that pretends to live like nobles. They express their emotions through living dolls that also endlessly clean the home of soot. One such servant, Emilico, aids her master Kate as they learn more about themselves and the mysteries of the house.

[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] ---

[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

[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?

    That noise just now...
[00:37] Barbara
    It sounded like it came
    from this way, didn't it?
[00:42] Barbara
    The door to the hallway
    leading to the entrance is open.
[00:46] Barbara
    To think that someone
    who would violate the rules
[00:48] Barbara
    of Shadows House might
    be in the children's wing.
[00:55] Barbara
    This is the Star Bearer Barbara.
[00:56] Barbara
    Is someone there?
[00:58] Barbara
    Show yourself, and come quietly!

    Mistress Barbara, please stand back.

    All living dolls must gather
    in the great hall immediately!
[01:56] Emilico
    What? I wonder what could have happened.
[02:01] Ben
    Are you certain it wasn't a veiled doll?
[02:04] Barbie
    I've never seen a doll like that.
[02:06] Barbie
    And lately, the number
    of scorches has been increasing.
[02:08] Barbie
    I must inform Edward.
[02:10] Ben
    That transgressor?
[02:12] Barbie
    He is still the warden
    of the children's wing.
[02:17] Ben
    Is there any possibility
    that it was Lord Edward?
[02:20] Barbie
    He would hardly repeat
    the same transgression.
[02:24] Barbie
    He's only just received his
    punishment for the prior incident.
[02:27] Barbie
    Entering the children's wing unbidden,
[02:29] Barbie
    and receiving only a stern caution for it...
[02:32] Ben
    It would be good if this
    made him a little more docile.
[02:35] Barbie
    It doesn't matter who it is.
[02:36] Barbie
    No trespassers will be tolerated.
[02:39] Barbie
    It may have been Warden Edward,
[02:41] Barbie
    but the ones who keep watch over
    the children's wing are us, the Star Bearers.
[02:46] Barbie
    Whether they are intruders or traitors,
[02:47] Barbie
    
    we will eliminate every single one.
[02:50] Barbie
    All is for the sake of the Shadows family.

[02:58] Barbie
    Hurry up and get in line!
[03:00] Barbie
    Stop dawdling!
[03:02] Barbie
    Earlier, a suspicious figure wearing
    a robe appeared in the great hall.
[03:07] Barbie
    Anyone who knows anything must report it.
[03:10] Barbie
    If you fail to report, you will
     be dealt severe punishment.
[03:13] Barbie
    That is all!
[03:18] Barbie
    Hey, Sunshine.
[03:19] Emilico
    Y-Yes?
[03:23] Barbie
    You wouldn't happen to be involved
    again this time, would you?
[03:28] Barbie
    If you are hiding something,
[03:30] Barbie
    it won't end well for you.
[03:39] Kate
    Master Robe?
[03:40] Emilico
    Yes, because it seems the
    suspicious figure was wearing a robe.
[03:44] Kate
    Is everyone calling it that?
[03:46] Emilico
    No, I gave it that name!
[03:49] Emilico
    If it happened to be a shadow,
    I didn't want to be rude,
[03:51] Emilico
    so I added "Master" to make "Master Robe."
[03:54] Kate
    I see.
[03:57] Kate
    A suspicious figure appearing
     in the children's wing...
[04:01] Kate
    It couldn't possibly be Edward, could it?
[04:03] Kate
    Perhaps he hasn't given up yet.
[04:07] Kate
    Don't worry. You have Kate with you.
[04:09] Emilico
    Yes, Mistress!
[04:13] Kate
    Still, to call all of you out
    in the middle of the night...
[04:17] Kate
    Even considering the urgency,
    that was quite high-handed of her.
[04:19] Emilico
    Yes, I was surprised.
[04:22] Kate
    Especially given that you and Kate
[04:24] Kate
    have passed our debut
    and so have come of age.
[04:26] Emilico
    But the Star Bearers stand above us,
    even though we've come of age, right?
[04:32] Kate
    Yes, that's true, but still...
[04:34] Kate
    It doesn't mean that they're
    allowed to do anything they please.
[04:37] Emilico
    Oh! And Barbie also...
[04:40] Kate
    Did she say something to you?
[04:41] Emilico
    Yes.
[04:42] Emilico
    She said, "You wouldn't happen to be
    involved again this time, would you?"
[04:45] Emilico
    "If you are hiding something,
    it won't end well for you."
[04:49] Kate
    You were called out so late at night,
[04:51] Kate
    and told something so hateful...
[04:56] Emilico
    But I...
[04:58] Emilico
    I was happy that you were
     waiting for me, Mistress Kate!
[05:03] Kate
    Then allow me to say it again.
[05:04] Kate
    Good night, Emilico.
[05:09] Emilico
    Good night, Mistress Kate!
[05:16] Kate
    Barbara's surveillance will only
    grow more strict from now on.
[05:20] Kate
    Kate has few allies.
[05:22] Kate
    Ricky and Lou's brainwashing
    likely hasn't been broken yet.
[05:26] Kate
    The only one who has been
    completely released from it is Shaun.
[05:44] Maryrose
    Lovely rose, Kate.
    Gerbera in full bloom, Louise.
[05:48] Maryrose
    Today we shall once again
    begin our orientation.
[05:51] Maryrose
    You shall be taught how
    to live a proper life in the main house.
[05:54] Kate
    Yes, thank you.
[05:55] Louise
    Yes, indeed!
[06:01] Kate
    Louise is a favorite of Sarah's.
    They are difficult to approach.
[06:06] Maryrose
    Your movements are quite stiff.
[06:08] Maryrose
    There's no need to be so formal here.
[06:11] Maryrose
    That's right!
[06:12] Maryrose
    Becoming someone who is of use
    to our Lord Grandfather
[06:16] Maryrose
    is a goal all children should strive to achieve.
[06:20] Maryrose
    And you've come of age.
[06:22] Maryrose
    You can now freely move around
    the main house and look where you like!
[06:29] Maryrose
    Every day should be full of brilliant color!
[06:31] Maryrose
    That is Maryrose's personal preference.
[06:35] Maryrose
    Study in the library!
[06:39] Maryrose
    Admire the plants in the conservatory!
[06:42] Maryrose
    Nurture your heart in the music room.
[06:46] Maryrose
    And in the dance hall,
    Maryrose herself will instruct you.
[06:50] Maryrose
    To improve oneself is a child's job.
[06:54] Maryrose
    Enjoy it.
[06:56] Maryrose
    Come, let us trust each other,
[06:59] Maryrose
    in our lives here at Shadows House!
[07:01] Louise
    Well, that seems fun, doesn't it?
[07:04] Kate
    Would it be wrong
    to read books in our rooms?
[07:07] Maryrose
    That would be fine.
[07:08] Maryrose
    In the room for each pastime,
    however, there is a notebook,
[07:11] Maryrose
    and the rules say to record
    the time you've spent there.
[07:13] Maryrose
    If you do not make enough entries,
[07:15] Maryrose
    you will be seen as a worthless shadow
    with no intent to improve yourself.
[07:22] Kate
    She spoke of freedom and pastimes...
[07:25] Kate
    But this means that we will not be afforded
    much time to move around on our own.
[07:29] Kate
    Everything is set up so that even children
    who know nothing can keep watch on each other.
[07:34] Kate
    Kate must tell John this.
[07:36] Kate
    John—
[07:36] Maryrose
    Have you finished your orientation as well?
[07:39] William
    Yes.
[07:40] William
    We've covered the main points.
[07:41] Maryrose
    That is splendid.
[07:43] Kate
    Both John and Patrick are acting coldly.
[07:46] Kate
    Could they have been re-indoctrinated?
[07:50] Kate
    In that case, a letter would only
    bring Kate unnecessary trouble.
[07:52] Kate
    It would expose my rebellion to the enemy.
[07:55] Kate
    Could Kate even pass them letters...
[07:57] Kate
    when we're surrounded by so many people...
[08:03] Kate
    Are we already under observation?
[08:06] Kate
    Since we're in different groups,
    it won't be easy to speak with them.
[08:08] Kate
    Kate would like to ask after their
    current situation at the very least.
[08:12] Kate
    To keep the other shadows
    from becoming suspicious,
[08:14] Kate
    it must be a casual conversation.
[08:17] Kate
    If Kate were Emilico, she would
    simply ask and that would be all.
[08:21] Kate
    At times like this, Kate envies her.
[08:23] John
    Kate! Regarding our engagement!
[08:24] John
    John wanted to speak more on the subject.
[08:32] Patrick
    What are you talking about?
[08:34] John
    Back at the debut...
[08:35] Kate
    Kate is glad that John is an honest
    and straightforward idiot.
[08:37] Louise
    What?
[08:39] Louise
    If we're speaking of engagements,
    shouldn't you have proposed to Louise first?
[08:42] Louise
    Just look at how beautiful her face is!
[08:44] John
    You're such an idiot.
[08:45] John
    Back then, our ranks hadn't
    even been decided yet!
[08:47] John
    And it's not like John picked
    her based on her face.
[08:50] Louise
    Idiot—?
[08:50] Louise
    You are the last person
    Louise wants to hear that from!
[08:52] Louise
    Louise would refuse you anyway!
[08:54] John
    All of you! Stop interrupting John!
[08:58] John
    Basically, Kate,
[08:59] John
    John wanted to say that there's
    no hurry for you to reply.
[09:02] John
    John plans to take this time to show
     you everything that is good about him.
[09:05] John
    So... for now, if we could just...
[09:09] Kate
    Honestly. All right, Kate understands.
[09:12] Kate
    What a relief that John is still John.
[09:14] Emilico
    It seems that everyone was just nervous.
[09:18] Patrick
    You're all so ridiculous.
[09:20] Patrick
    Go ahead and lose your
    hearts in a love affair.
[09:22] Patrick
    In that time, Patrick will
    become an outstanding shadow.
[09:28] Kate
    John...
[09:29] Susanna
    Ah, so you're all here.
[09:31] Kate
    Star Bearer Susanna...
[09:34] Susanna
    We'll be having a special lesson.
[09:36] Susanna
    Those who were brilliant and are now
    newly come of age, this way please.
[09:41] Kate
    Just our peer group?
[09:43] Kate
    This may be an important chance.
[09:54] Susanna
    Susanna simply loves this lesson!
[09:57] Susanna
    Dear little Kate and John and Louise
    all seem like they will be brilliant,
[10:00] Susanna
    so I can't help but be excited!
[10:03] Kate
    "Dear little"?
[10:05] Susanna
    All of you children are so adorable!
     Susanna will pat you all!
[10:08] John
    Stop it! We're not babies!
[10:11] Susanna
    It's a habit of Susanna's.
[10:13] Kate
    Emilico, that expression is not
    correct for Kate's right now.
[10:19] Kate
    She's a strange one.
[10:21] Kate
    But we can't afford to relax our guard.
[10:23] Kate
    We must proceed in such a way
    that Susanna will not discover us.
[10:27] Kate
    Patrick wasn't invited
    to this special lesson.
[10:30] Kate
    And, to be honest, I can't
    read what Louise is thinking.
[10:34] Kate
    Kate is a little worried,
[10:36] Kate
    but it seems John is the only
    one to whom she can pass a note.
[10:43] Ricky
    A special lesson?
[10:45] Ricky
    Could it be something about soot powers?
[10:47] Ricky
    To think that all of Master Patrick's peers
    have awakened their powers...
[10:52] (Flashback) Edward
    What you have just seen of John's powers...
    Do not ever speak of it.
[10:57] Ricky
    During the debut,
    I was ordered to keep quiet.
[11:00] Ricky
    I want to tell Master Patrick about it!
[11:02] Ricky
    But...
[11:05] Ricky
    The rules of Shadows House are absolute.
[11:09] Susanna
    From here on, the living dolls
    will take a different path.
[11:12] Susanna
    Susie! Susanna will leave them to you!
[11:19] Susanna
    This is the training room.
[11:33] Susanna
    We will now begin a lesson on soot powers.
[11:36] Susanna
    As you are able to control soot,
    you may consider yourselves chosen shadows.
[11:41] Kate
    May Kate ask a question?
[11:44] Kate
    What is the reason for hiding soot powers
    from those who have not awakened them?
[11:48] Susanna
    Those are the rules here.
[11:51] Susanna
    Right now, our Lord Grandfather wants
    to find those who excel at soot powers.
[11:56] Kate
    Lord Grandfather wants...?
[11:59] Kate
    I suppose I shouldn't try to ask why.
[12:02] Susanna
    Let us use our powers
    to polish ourselves even further,
[12:05] Susanna
    right here in this training room.
[12:07] Susanna
    Furthermore, this place collects soot.
[12:09] Susanna
    It's two birds with one stone!
[12:12] Susanna
    The soot from shadows is treated
    and turned into soot coal.
[12:15] Susanna
    It's a very important source
    of energy for Shadows House.
[12:19] Susanna
    Large quantities of soot are produced
    whether one has powers or does not,
[12:23] Susanna
    which can increase your
    value here tremendously.
[12:26] Susanna
    Each shadow has a different soot volume.
[12:29] Susanna
    A different amount of soot
    they carry within themselves.
[12:33] Susanna
    It isn't as if we can
    produce infinite amounts.
[12:35] Susanna
    Controlling soot in particular
    consumes tremendous amounts of soot.
[12:40] Susanna
    It's important to take note of
    how much soot you can use in a day.
[12:44] Susanna
    Keeping it inside will only
    cause you suffering,
[12:46] Susanna
    so make sure to come here
    regularly to release it.
[12:49] John
    Shadows really are amazing!
[12:50] John
    And even among them, John is amazing!
[12:53] Susanna
    That's right! Let us give praise!
[12:56] Susanna
    Dear little John! Dear little John!
[13:00] Susanna
    And next, we'll talk
    about your power's range.
[13:04] Susanna
    Look at this.
[13:07] Kate
    John has fallen asleep.
[13:10] Susanna
    Perhaps a practical lesson
     rather than theory.
[13:12] Susanna
    Dear little John!
[13:14] Susanna
    Susanna has an assignment for you.
[13:16] Susanna
    Destroy that wall from where you're standing.
[13:20] Kate; Louise
    Destroy?
[13:21] Susanna
    Susanna has heard about your power, John.
[13:24] Susanna
    They say it's amazing.
[13:26] John
    Kate! This will be dangerous. Stand back!
[13:28] Louise
    Say something to Louise, too!
[13:30] John
    Sure, and Louise.
[13:40] John
    Huh?
[13:41] John
    John is super weak!
[13:44] Susanna
    Soot has a range, you see.
[13:46] Susanna
    The stronger a physical power is,
    the shorter the range tends to be.
[13:50] Susanna
    In John's case,
[13:51] Susanna
    the furthest he can maintain solidity
    is about two meters.
[13:53] John
    You knew that and made me
    do it anyway, didn't you?
[13:55] Louise
    Now, what is all of this?
[13:57] Louise
    Louise can't do anything
    like this with soot.
[14:00] Susanna
    John's has a physical effect,
[14:01] Susanna
    but yours, Louise,
    works on the mind, doesn't it?
[14:04] Susanna
    You're using soot to control
    your face, Lou's, loyalty.
[14:08] Susanna
    Though, it won't work on shadows.
[14:10] Kate
    Considering the coffee,
[14:13] Kate
    I'm not surprised a power like that exists.
[14:16] Susanna
    That type of power also has a range,
[14:18] Susanna
    so if you're too far apart,
    the effect will weaken.
[14:20] Susanna
    Once you are able to control soot,
    the effect should stabilize.
[14:24] Susanna
    Next, Kate.
[14:26] Susanna
    You have a physical type, too,
    but it appears to be different from John's.
[14:30] Susanna
    Kate, this is your task.
[14:31] Susanna
    Move the pen from the cart on the right
    to the table on the left.
[14:35] Kate
    They're very far away,
    but I will prove that I can do it.
[14:40] Kate
    John, you'll be in the way where
    you are, so move over there.
[14:43] Kate
    Louise, you go over there,
[14:44] Kate
    and Kate will go... here.
[14:46] Kate
    No, a little more to the left.
[14:48] Louise
    How precise!
[14:50] Susanna
    Susanna simply wants
    to see how much you can do, so...
[14:52] Susanna
    It's all right if you fail, you know?
[15:01] John
    You can move objects without touching them?
[15:03] Susanna
    Kate doesn't have much strength,
[15:06] Susanna
    but Susanna sees that she
    has precise control at long distances.
[15:10] Kate
    This is difficult...
[15:13] John
    That's John's fiancée for you!
[15:20] Kate
    It requires intense concentration.
[15:23] Kate
    Please refrain from saying such odd things.
[15:25] John
    S-Sorry...
[15:27] Kate
    You said there was no hurry
    for Kate to reply, didn't you?
[15:30] Kate
    In that case, please don't use
    that word at every chance you get.
[15:32] John
    John just... wanted to compliment you.
[15:35] Louise
    Oh, she's angry with him!
[15:35] Kate
    The words that make you happy
    are not words that make Kate happy.
[15:38] Susanna
    Now, now, don't argue.
[15:41] Kate
    Kate passed it to him!
[15:42] Kate
    As Kate worked on her task
    with her right hand,
[15:44] Kate
    she used soot emitted from her left hand
    to slip a letter into John's pocket.
[15:48] Kate
    Kate also arranged our
    positioning accordingly...
[15:51] Kate
    so that it would be in Susanna's
    and the veiled dolls' blind spots!
[15:58] Susie
    Emilico...
[16:01] Susie
    Are you hungry?
[16:02] Susie
    We will be provided a light meal soon.
[16:04] Susie
    It's a privilege for those
    who have come of age.
[16:07] Susie
    Shaun, will you bring it here?
[16:09] Emilico
    Oh! I'll help, too!
[16:12] Susie
    You're such a good girl.
[16:14] Susie
    But it will only require one of you.
[16:20] Susanna
    Susanna wonders what you passed to him.
[16:22] Susanna
    Allow Susanna to demonstrate
    the basics of soot powers.
[16:25] Susanna
    Your senior, Susanna, is capable
    of much more advanced skills than you are.
[16:30] Susanna
    Hmm, this is...
[16:33] Susanna
    Well, Susanna can't pat you
    for this, can she?
[16:35] Susanna
    Do you have some kind of secret,
[16:38] Susanna
    Kate?
[16:40] Susanna
    Oh, dear. Releasing so much soot like that...
[16:45] Susanna
    But it's no good, you know.
[16:49] John
    It disappeared!
[16:50] Louise
    It's just like a magic trick!
[16:52] Kate
    The letter Kate slipped
    into John's pocket...
[16:55] Kate
    No, before worrying about that...
[16:57] Kate
    Kate is certain she passed it
    without Susanna seeing.
[16:59] Kate
    How was Kate discovered?
[17:03] Susanna
    Allow Susanna to ascertain the contents.
[17:07] Susie
    Oh, no!
[17:08] Susie
    Emilico, your finger is bleeding.
[17:11] Emilico
    I'm sorry. I'm very clumsy, you see.
[17:13] Emilico
    But an injury like this won't
    cause any problems for me.
[17:19] Susie
    I'm on the first-aid team.
[17:21] Susie
    Wait right there. I'll bring the first-aid kit.
[17:29] Emilico
    Oh, I'll clean this up.
[17:31] Shaun
    I'll fetch a dustpan.
[17:32] Emilico
    Thank you!
[17:37] Emilico
    Oh! I can speak privately with Lou now!
[17:40] Emilico
    Breaking this dish was very lucky!
[17:43] Emilico
    Lou...
[17:45] Emilico
    Aren't you sad that Rum failed?
[17:49] Lou
    Don't fret over trivial matters.
[17:51] Emilico
    But, but, we living dolls need
     to look out for one another, right?
[17:55] Emilico
    The Shadows House rules are strange.
[18:00] Lou
    Don't fret over trivial matters.
[18:02] Lou
    Everything is for the sake of Shadows House.
[18:06] Emilico
    Lou... Do you hate me now?
[18:11] Lou
    What are you talking about? Of course not.
[18:15] Lou
    Emilico, you suddenly
    say the strangest things.
[18:18] Lou
    I'm going to tidy this up.
    The injured should rest.
[18:30] Susanna
    How amusing this is, Kate!
[18:33] Susanna
    What's written here is truly amusing!
[18:38] Susanna
    However...
[18:41] Susanna
    What need was there for you
    to pass it to him in secret, I wonder?
[18:45] Kate
    You have taught Kate something.
[18:47] Kate
    Everyone, look closely.
[18:49] Kate
    There is a thin sheet of soot
    enveloping Kate, and you as well.
[18:53] Kate
    It must have been there since
     we entered the training room.
[18:56] John
    Huh? Whoa, you're right!
[18:57] Louise
    This is so creepy!
[18:59] Kate
    Could it be that Susanna's soot
    has a sense of touch, like hands do?
[19:04] Kate
    Susanna, you asked what Kate passed him.
[19:06] Kate
    Does that mean that you
    didn't know it was a letter?
[19:10] Susanna
    To think that a student
    would test Susanna's powers.
[19:20] Kate
    Kate is very sorry, Susanna,
[19:22] Kate
    for doing something so insolent.
[19:24] Kate
    Star Bearers truly are impressive.
[19:27] Susanna
    That is absolutely the correct answer!
[19:29] Susanna
    Susanna loves little ones with a
    deep desire to learn about soot!
[19:32] Susanna
    Susanna will pat you lots and lots!
[19:38] Susanna
    By the way, this is where Susanna hid the scalpel.
[19:41] John
    That's scary!
[19:42] Louise
    It's just like a magic trick!
[19:47] Kate
    Somehow, Kate managed
    to smooth everything over.
[19:50] Susanna
    Oh, Kate.
[19:51] Susanna
    Are you absolutely certain you
    want to pass this to John?
[19:54] Kate
    If you've seen Kate's
    behavior up to this point,
[19:56] Kate
    Kate is sure you understand.
[19:57] Susanna
    Oh, well, yes. Susanna supposes that's true.
[19:59] John
    It was a letter to John?
[20:02] John
    From Kate?
[20:04] Susanna
    Read it in your room after
    you've calmed your heart.
[20:07] Susanna
    Susanna will pat you later.
[20:09] John
    What?
[20:16] Barbie
    Get out!
[20:34] Louise
    Were we just given orders by a living doll?
[20:36] Susanna
    Barbie is special.
[20:38] Susanna
    Barbara is sometimes unable
    to speak, you see.
[20:42] Barbie
    Is this all you've got?
[20:44] Barbie
    And you say you're planning
    to help support the Shadows family?
[20:49] John
    John doesn't understand any of this.
[20:50] Susanna
    She's helping her emit soot.
[20:52] Susanna
    Poor Barbara can't control her soot.
[20:57] Susanna
    Susanna told you that emitting large amounts
[20:59] Susanna
    of soot greatly increases
    one's value, didn't she?
[21:02] Susanna
    That is the reason Barbara
    is the leader of the children's wing.
[21:07] Susanna
    Barbara emits sixty percent of the soot
    Shadows House produces in a day.
[21:12] John
    Sixty percent?!
[21:13] John
    More than all the soot produced
    by every other shadow combined?
[21:18] Susanna
    With that volume of soot,
[21:19] Susanna
    simply containing it must be very painful.
[21:23] Susanna
    However...
[21:24] Susanna
    Barbara, who serves
    the Shadows family so earnestly,
[21:26] Susanna
    is incredibly beautiful.
[21:28] Susanna
    We should all continue to train.
[21:31] Susanna
    I am certain that anyone can become
    someone of service to our Lord Grandfather.

[00:09] Barbara
    Is it morning already?
[00:11] Barbie
    Yes.
[00:14] Barbara
    How long have you been here?
[00:16] Barbie
    We've been having you release
    soot at a tremendous pace.
[00:20] Barbie
    I was a little worried about your health.
[00:23] Barbara
    What are you saying?
[00:25] Barbara
    The emission of soot is a shadow's duty.
[00:30] Barbara
    Everything...
[00:32] Barbie
    ...is for the sake of Lord Grandfather.

[02:30] Benjamin
    Let's go.
[02:36] Barbara
    What happened to
    the perfume Oliver developed?
[02:39] Benjamin
    Benjamin brought it with him.
[02:43] Barbara
    What a foul odor.
[02:45] Benjamin
    This is no good.
[02:47] Benjamin
    He will have to make it again.
[02:49] Barbara
    Blast it. This is infuriating.
[02:53] Shadow 1
    Yeah.
[02:54] Shadow 1
    Wow.
[02:55] Shadow 2
    It's Barbara.
[02:56] Shadow 2
    She's always angry, isn't she?
[03:00] Shadow 1
    Hurry. Let's go over there.
[03:03] Susanna
    Just a moment.
[03:06] Susanna
    To see a Star Bearer and run away...
[03:08] Susanna
    Have you done something
    you feel guilty about?
[03:10] Shadow 1
    No!
[03:11] Shadow 2
    We're so sorry!
[03:12] Shadow 2
    We truly respect them!
[03:14] Barbara
    Susanna, it is time
    for the Star Bearers' meeting.
[03:17] Barbara
    Now, let us go to Oliver's rooms.
[03:22] Sarah
    Yes, becoming a Star Bearer
    is a worthwhile goal.
[03:25] Sarah
    In the children's wing,
    only four pairs are chosen! The elite!
[03:29] Sarah
    You can live in lovely rooms,
[03:31] Sarah
    and if you are invited
    to Lord Grandfather's wing,
[03:33] Sarah
    you are sure to receive special treatment.
[03:35] Sarah
    If Sarah were to become a Star Bearer,
[03:37] Sarah
    she would assuredly gain
    more trust than Barbara has.
[03:40] Maryrose
    Cease such talk, Sarah.
[03:43] Sarah
    Why?
[03:44] Sarah
    Back then, we all had such fun.
[03:47] Sarah
    Barbara doesn't hold a candle
    to the previous leader.
[03:51] Sarah
    Rose, even you think the previous
    leader was better, don't you?
[03:56] Maryrose
    Ah, Christopher...
[04:08] Benjamin
    Do not speak that name.
[04:12] Sarah
    W-Wait. Sarah offers her apologies.
[04:29] Sarah
    How infuriating.
[04:31] Sarah
    Sarah refuses to ever become
    that kind of Star Bearer.
[04:43] Barbara
    Oliver, it's time for the meeting.
[04:45] Barbara
    Oliver.
[04:47] Oliver
    Barbara!
[04:48] Barbara
    The meeting...
[04:48] Oliver
    Look!
[04:49] Oliver
    At last, it's finished!
[04:52] Oliver
    It's a mobile soot collector!
[04:55] Oliver
    Olly!
[04:56] Olly
    Yes?
[04:57] Oliver
    Start it up!
[04:58] Olly
    Immediately, Professor Oliver!
[05:04] Oliver
    It's the newest model, using
    the combustive energy of soot to operate.
[05:09] Oliver
    The soot is conveyed by suction
[05:10] Oliver
    into this enormous tank
    where it is then stored!
[05:13] Barbara
    What are you talking about? Turn it off!
[05:18] Susanna
    What an incredible invention.
[05:21] Susanna
    It's such an amazingly powerful machine.
[05:23] Susanna
    What could you possibly use it for?
[05:26] Oliver
    A countermeasure against
    those phantoms, for example?
[05:28] Susanna
    And how...
[05:30] Susanna
    would you get it out the door?
[05:36] Susanna
    It's just like a ship in a bottle, isn't it?
[05:38] Oliver
    It seems there's room for improvement here.
[05:42] Susanna
    Susanna has set up some sheets
    outside of this room.
[05:44] Susanna
    If anyone comes, Susanna will know.
[05:49] Barbara
    Recently, reports of scorches appearing
[05:53] Barbara
    due to breakages
    in the facilities have increased.
[05:56] Barbara
    Continued observation of their
    movements will be necessary.
[05:59] Barbara
    Moving on, the topics
    of discussion for today are...
[06:01] Barbara
    how to address the directives from Edward,
[06:04] Barbara
    and vigilance against Kate's misbehavior.
[06:06] Barbara
    Susanna, have you noticed anything?
[06:09] Susanna
    Well...
[06:10] Susanna
    Her attitude can be slightly defiant,
[06:13] Susanna
    but it wasn't really enough
    to make her stand out.
[06:16] Susanna
    More importantly, her keen
    interest in soot is quite wonderful!
[06:19] Barbara
    Susanna, you are entirely too
    preoccupied with soot powers.
[06:23] Susanna
    Well, it is Susanna's job, after all.
[06:25] Susanna
    And Edward's directives
    are very vague, aren't they?
[06:28] Susanna
    Star Bearers are busy.
[06:30] Susanna
    They can't spend all their time on Kate.
[06:33] Barbara
    There must be some things which
    are difficult to speak of.
[06:36] Barbara
    Barbara doesn't like Edward,
[06:38] Barbara
    but Lord Grandfather
    granted him this authority.
[06:41] Barbara
    We will continue our vigilance.
[06:43] Oliver
    If we say nothing's happened,
[06:45] Oliver
    Edward is going to nag us again.
[06:48] Oliver
    Even the previous phantom mayhem
    was made out to be the Star Bearers' fault.
[06:51] Benjamin
    That is true.
[06:53] Oliver
    He just says and does whatever he likes.
[06:56] Oliver
    And even when he causes problems,
    he's never penalized.
[07:00] Barbara
    Our next topic of discussion is...
[07:02] Barbara
    the mysterious figure seen on the premises.
[07:04] Oliver
    The suspicious, robe-wearing figure?
[07:06] Benjamin
    The living dolls have reported
    sightings in many locations.
[07:10] Oliver
    Huh...
[07:11] Oliver
    Maybe there's more than one figure?
[07:13] Susanna
    Have there been any
    reports of damage or injury?
[07:16] Barbara
    No, not at the moment.
[07:18] Barbara
    There is, however, no knowing how
    or when this matter will develop.
[07:21] Oliver
    What about the report to Edward?
[07:28] Oliver
    So it's another "nothing happened" report, huh?
[07:31] Susanna
    We'll be able to hear all sorts
    of lovely snide remarks from him, won't we?
[07:41] Barbara
    If Christopher were here...
[07:44] Barbara
    Would things be different?
[07:47] Barbie
    Mistress Barbara,
[07:49] Barbie
    you are always thinking of what's best
    for the children's wing,
[07:51] Barbie
    and striving to serve your best.
[08:14] Emilico
    We've been told not to
    go out at night, but...
[08:17] Emilico
    They even have guards in place.
[08:19] Kate
    Yes.
[08:21] Kate
    Kate may be the only one being
    so openly watched this way.
[08:26] Kate
    Did Kate stand out too much in the debut?
[08:28] Kate
    During the soot lesson,
    Kate was clearly regarded as suspicious.
[08:30] Kate
    Or could it be that something
    has happened on John's side?
[08:34] Kate
    Was it a mistake to choose John
    as the recipient of the letter?
[08:38] Emilico
    That letter...
[08:40] Emilico
    What did you write in it?
[08:44] Kate
    Well...
[08:48] Shaun
    So, you've finally opened it.
[08:51] Shaun
    What does it say?
[08:54] Shaun
    What's wrong, Master John?
[08:56] John
    Stop your chattering, Shaun!
[08:58] John
    Go back to your room!
[08:59] Emilico
    What?
[09:00] Emilico
    That's mean!
[09:02] Emilico
    Didn't you say you wanted to
    make him your ally?
[09:04] Kate
    That's right.
[09:06] Kate
    That's why Kate wanted to give Susanna
    the impression that she hates John.
[09:10] Kate
    It's important to know
    your friends very well.
[09:15] Kate
    The letter was deliberately written
    so that John would emit soot.
[09:18] Kate
    There's wax on the paper,
    and those spots will repel the soot.
[09:23] Kate
    If he doesn't notice that,
[09:25] Kate
    then he will never be allowed
     to say that he loves Kate again.
[09:31] John
    "To John,"
[09:32] John
    "Kate is sorry. She has a favor to ask."
[09:36] John
    "To save the children
    who are suffering in this house,"
[09:40] John
    "Kate asks for your assistance."
[09:43] Kate
    Check to make sure that Shaun's
    brainwashing has been broken, just in case,
[09:46] Kate
    and if there are no issues,
    please leave a mark outside your rooms.
[09:50] John
    "Please. John, you are
    the only one Kate can rely upon."
[09:54] John
    Kate!
[09:56] John
    Shaun!
[09:58] Shaun
    Yes? Is something wrong?
[10:00] Shaun
    Master John...
[10:03] John
    Shaun, you...
[10:06] Shaun
    Y-Yes?
[10:07] Shaun
    Did you need something?
[10:09] John
    You're not brainwashed, are you?
[10:11] Shaun
    We're doing that again?!
[10:26] Emilico
    I wonder if it will be difficult
    to find Shaun's room...
[10:33] Emilico
    Oh! A roll!
[10:37] Shaun
    Emilico, come inside.
[10:40] Shaun
    I thought you might be coming, Emilico.
[10:42] Shaun
    I'm glad I had that ready.
[10:45] Shaun
    We understand Mistress Kate's intentions.
[10:47] Shaun
    I'll keep the explanation short.
[10:50] Emilico
    I see.
[10:51] Emilico
    So that's the method
    that brought Shaun back.
[10:55] Emilico
    I thought we'd have Lou and Ricky
    drink lots of water and throw it up...
[11:00] Emilico
    But would it be better to hit them?
[11:03] Shaun
    Both methods are bad!
[11:05] Shaun
    It's already been over a week since then.
[11:08] Shaun
    The coffee has probably
    seeped deep into their bodies.
[11:11] Shaun
    But I don't think that one cup
    is enough to completely brainwash them.
[11:16] Shaun
    Right after I drank it,
[11:17] Shaun
    my head was filled with
    the magnificence of this house,
[11:20] Shaun
    but I feel like my presence of mind
    is slowly returning to me.
[11:24] Emilico
    Which means...
[11:26] Emilico
    once a little more time has passed...
[11:29] Shaun
    We'll find the right timing
    to bring the two of them in as allies.
[11:32] Emilico
    Hooray!
[11:36] Shaun
    It's too soon to celebrate.
[11:38] Shaun
    And we're human, Emilico.
[11:41] Shaun
    You shouldn't carelessly hug me like that.
[11:46] Shaun
    Really?
[11:49] Emilico
    Shaun, the fact that you're
    back makes me truly happy.
[12:04] Mia
    Emilico! Did you oversleep?
[12:06] Emilico
    Oh, um, yes.
[12:09] Emilico
    Mia, did you come to get me?
[12:11] Mia
    I wouldn't do that.
[12:13] Mia
    You can find your way here
    on your own now, can't you?
[12:15] Mia
    We are tools for the Shadows family.
[12:18] Mia
    We can't spend all our time
    looking after other living dolls.
[12:23] Mia
    More importantly...
[12:24] Mia
    There were two dolls!
[12:25] Mia
    Two who were invited
    to the detached wing!
[12:27] Emilico
    So, you can be invited even
    if you're not a Star Bearer?
[12:30] Mia
    That's right! I'm so jealous!
[12:33] Rosemary
    Emilico, you should check the blackboard.
[12:36] Rosemary
    There has been a change
    to part of the team assignments.
[12:40] Mia
    The teams that were lacking
    in numbers were redistributed,
[12:43] Mia
    so there's one team less now.
[12:44] Emilico
    Huh? But...
[12:47] Emilico
    There's empty space for two teams here.
[12:49] Mia
    They broke.
[12:52] Emilico
    The... The whole team?
[12:54] Mia
    It's such a shame, isn't it?
[12:56] Mia
    New living dolls will be
    supplied soon enough.
[13:00] Mia
    I'm sure it's because
    Barbie drove them so hard.
[13:03] Mia
    Though, it's possible that something
    happened to their shadow masters.
[13:13] Emilico
    When I first came here...
[13:15] Emilico
    my world got so much bigger.
[13:17] Emilico
    It was astonishing.
[13:19] Emilico
    Everyone seemed so joyful.
[13:21] Emilico
    I thought that being here at
    Shadows House was true happiness.
[13:25] Emilico
    But...
[13:27] Emilico
    When I looked again, everyone...
[13:29] Emilico
    Everyone might only have been trying
    to look like they were happy.
[13:33] Lou
    What's wrong, Emilico?
[13:35] Emilico
    Lou...
[13:38] Emilico
    Is everyone...
[13:39] Emilico
    really happy with this?
[13:45] Lou
    You're fretting over trivial matters again.
[13:48] Lou
    That's very like you, Emilico.
[13:49] Emilico
    It's just like John said!
[13:51] Emilico
    The brainwashing is wearing off!
[13:57] Emilico
    We've finished cleaning.
[13:59] Emilico
    Is there anything else?
[14:03] Mia
    It's here!
[14:13] Barbie
    We will now begin our rejoicing party.
[14:17] Rosemary
    I've been looking forward to this!
[14:19] Ricky
    This happens once a week?
[14:21] Billy
    It's a reward for children
    who have come of age.
[14:28] Susie
    Hurry up, Olly!
[14:31] Olly
    It must be measured exactly.
[14:38] Barbie
    Now, line up single-file!
[14:40] Barbie
    Don't forget your gratitude
    to Shadows House!
[15:16] Emilico
    How can anything be this delicious?
[15:20] Shaun
    Thanks, Emilico.
[15:22] Barbie
    Who will be the representative this time?
[15:24] living dolls
    Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
[15:26] Mia
    Me! I'll do it! I'll do it!
[15:29] living dolls; background
    Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
[15:29] Barbie
    Right, then.
[15:31] living dolls; background
    Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
[15:32] Barbie
    Doug!
[15:35] Doug
    To serve the Shadows family is
    the pride and joy of every living doll!

[16:02] living dolls

[16:11] Kate
    To think they'd hold an event
    to make you drink soot coffee so soon.
[16:15] Emilico
    Making you give up your own
    thoughts like that is just...
[16:19] Emilico
    It's cruel.
[16:22] Kate
    But we've learned a lot from this.
[16:25] Emilico
    What?
[16:30] Kate
    The method of brainwashing.
[16:32] Kate
    The coffee puts you
    into a brainwashed state,
[16:34] Kate
    and then you recite the Shadows family rules.
[16:36] Kate
    You're made to embed them
    deep in your subconscious.
[16:39] Kate
    These "rejoicing parties"
    are held once a week,
[16:41] Kate
    but they can only give you one spoonful.
[16:43] Kate
    That means that the coffee
    doesn't last very long.
[16:47] Kate
    It means that they can't
    make very much at a time.
[16:50] Kate
    And...
[16:51] Kate
    The ones in charge of the coffee
    are the Star Bearers.
[16:54] Kate
    Emilico, Kate has made a decision.
[16:57] Kate
    You and Kate will aim
    to become Star Bearers!
[17:00] Emilico
    Right!
[17:03] Mia
    Now, let's get this done!
[17:05] Mia
    Today, we'll be switching out
    the broken chairs in the great hall.
[17:09] Mia
    I want to finish quickly
    and go back to sleep.
[17:14] Emilico
    Lou...
[17:16] Emilico
    During the debut, did you
    and Ricky become friends?
[17:21] Lou
    It was just chance.
[17:22] Lou
    We happened to be together,
    that's all. I think.
[17:25] Mia
    Say!
[17:26] Mia
    Tomorrow's the rejoicing party!
[17:29] Mia
    I can't wait!
[17:31] Lou
    I want to hurry up
    and drink the coffee. Don't you?
[17:34] Emilico
    Yes... I do.
[17:37] Emilico
    Just remembering the coffee
    made our conversation stray.
[17:40] Emilico
    This is how they'll gradually stop being
    able to think about other things.
[17:44] Mia
    We're done!
[17:45] Mia
    Well, let's head back!
[17:50] Mia
    Ugh, it's Belle.
[17:53] Emilico
    From the same team as Rum.
[17:57] Mia
    Snacking. I'll report you for that.
[17:59] Belle A
    I've received permission from Susie.
[18:03] Emilico
    Rum...
[18:07] Belle B
    Oh dear. How clumsy of you.
[18:10] Mia
    Come on. We're going.
[18:14] Emilico
    Which one of them is Belle?
[18:16] Mia
    They're both Belle.
[18:17] Emilico
    What?
[18:18] Emilico
    With the same name,
    things must get mixed up, right?
[18:21] Mia
    That's right.
[18:22] Mia
    And that's why they only do
    one person's share of work.
[18:24] Mia
    On top of that, they're team leaders,
[18:26] Mia
    so it's horrible for anyone on their team!
[18:28] Mia
    And in their free time,
[18:29] Mia
    it seems they cozy up
    to the Star Bearers to win their favor.
[18:33] Mia
    Now, I'm going to take a nap
    until Mistress Sarah wakes up.
[18:37] Emilico
    May I go to the classroom to study?
[18:40] Mia
    You can't be serious!
[18:42] Mia
    I'm amazed that you can be
    in the mood for studying after this.
[18:46] Rosemary
    I'll go with you.
[18:50] Emilico
    Scorches are...
[18:51] Emilico
    Um, scorches are...
[18:55] Emilico
    How do you read this?
[19:00] Emilico
    Rosemary?
[19:02] Rosemary
    Oh. That's "density."
[19:05] Emilico
    I'm sorry to ask when you're so sleepy.
[19:08] Rosemary
    It's just fine.
[19:10] Rosemary
    I'm the team leader, after all.
[19:14] Rosemary
    I've been told I'm a half-wit,
    and it may be true,
[19:18] Rosemary
    but I can still help you, Emilico,
    since you're so eager to study.
[19:22] Emilico
    Rosemary, you aren't a half-wit!
[19:31] Emilico
    I can't move.
[19:38] Kate
    Was the previous leader
    issued an invitation?
[19:41] Maryrose
    That's right.
[19:42] Maryrose
    No one so dear had ever gone
    to Lord Grandfather's wing.
[19:47] Kate
    And that person recommended Barbara?
[19:50] Maryrose
    Barbara has some traits of a leader, too.
[19:54] Maryrose
    More importantly...
[19:55] Maryrose
    Kate.
[19:57] Maryrose
    If you intend to become a Star Bearer,
    you mustn't speak of him.
[20:01] Kate
    Kate will be sure to keep that in mind.
[20:08] Maryrose
    The previous leader...
[20:14] (Flashback) Barbara
    Will Barbara be able to make it
    as a member of the main house from now on?
[20:17] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara is worried.
[20:20] (Flashback) Maryrose
    You're always alone, aren't you, Barbara?
[20:25] (Flashback) Barbara
    Maryrose?
[20:27] (Flashback) Barbara
    How did you know that Barbara was here?
[20:30] (Flashback) Maryrose
    With the amount of soot you
    were emitting, anyone would know.
[20:34] (Flashback) Barbara
    What brings you here?
[20:35] (Flashback) Maryrose
    What's wrong with starting a conversation
     for no particular reason?
[20:38] (Flashback) Maryrose
    We're peers. Let's get along.
[20:40] (Flashback) Barbara
    You've already become
    part of the main house.
[20:43] (Flashback) Barbara
    There's no need for you
    to involve yourself with Barbara.
[20:46] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Let's dance, Barbara.
[20:57] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Are you all right, Barbara?
[21:00] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Your movements aren't bad.
[21:02] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Now, one more time.
[21:04] (Flashback) Barbara
    Please, don't bother yourself
    about Barbara any more!
[21:08] (Flashback) Barbara
    Your miserable peer, Barbara...
[21:11] (Flashback) Barbara
    You're making fun of her, aren't you?!
[21:17] (Flashback) Maryrose
    What stupendous soot volume!
[21:19] (Flashback) Maryrose
    This is astounding, Barbara!
[21:20] (Flashback) Maryrose
    It's a splendid ability!
[21:22] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Even if Maryrose stood on her head,
    she'd be no match for you!
[21:30] (Flashback) Maryrose
    You have something that Maryrose doesn't.
[21:33] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose may be good
    at picking up the knack of things,
[21:36] (Flashback) Maryrose
    but she's unsubtle in everything.
[21:38] (Flashback) Maryrose
    On that point, you are earnest and prudent.
[21:42] (Flashback) Maryrose
    It may be difficult alone...
[21:46] (Flashback) Maryrose
    but with the two of us,
    perhaps we will be able to grow.
[21:50] (Flashback) Maryrose
    This is a promise.
[21:52] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Let us become adults together.
[22:01] (Flashback) Christopher
    You make a good pair, don't you?

[00:02] (Flashback) Christopher
    Since then, the living dolls
     of Shadows House
[00:06] (Flashback) Christopher
    have been tasked with cleaning
     this huge mansion every day.
[00:10] (Flashback) Christopher
    And with that, Christopher's
    story time comes to a close.
[00:15] (Flashback) child A
    Cleaning really is important, isn't it?
[00:17] (Flashback) child
    Yes.
[00:18] (Flashback) child B
    We know that skipping
     cleaning leads to scorches.
[00:22] (Flashback) child B
    But we're not afraid of those things!
[00:26] (Flashback) Christopher
    This is a story Christopher once heard.
[00:28] (Flashback) Christopher
    They say there was once a child,
    like you, who scorned cleaning.
[00:32] (Flashback) Christopher
    More and more scorches
    emerged in the child's room...
[00:35] (Flashback) Christopher
    Until one day, the child awoke,
    unable to breathe.
[00:39] (Flashback) Christopher
    Scared, the child
    tried to call for help,
[00:41] (Flashback) Christopher
    but no one heard.
[00:44] (Flashback) Christopher
    And that...
[00:46] (Flashback) Christopher
    was because scorches had
    covered the child's entire body!
[00:51] (Flashback) Christopher
    The child died that way...
[00:54] (Flashback) Christopher
    But those scorches, it seems,
[00:56] (Flashback) Christopher
    slithered off and began to walk around.
[00:59] (Flashback) Christopher
    Upon seeing their form,
    everyone screamed...
[01:04] (Flashback) Christopher
    "It's a giant phantom!"
[01:09] (Flashback) Christopher
    Christopher doesn't want
    to end up that way,
[01:12] (Flashback) Christopher
    so he cleans very thoroughly.
[01:14] (Flashback) child A
    How scary!
[01:15] (Flashback) child B
    They combine!
[01:16] (Flashback) child B
    They merge together and become phantoms!
[01:18] (Flashback) child C
    We need to clean really well!
[01:20] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Christopher should probably become
     a novelist or something, don't you think?
[01:25] (Flashback) Christopher
    Now, as a special treat today,
    we'll have just one more story.
[01:31] (Flashback) Maryrose
    If Christopher ever receives an invitation,
[01:33] (Flashback) Maryrose
    it will be difficult for anyone else
    to win over these young ones.
[01:41] (Flashback) Christopher
    Maryrose and Barbara are here
    to carry on Christopher's wishes,
[01:44] (Flashback) Christopher
    so Christopher isn't worried about a thing.
[01:51] (Flashback) children
    Christopher!

[03:35] Kate
    We have a little breathing space today,
[03:37] Kate
    so let's go to the training room.
[03:38] Emilico
    Yes, Mistress!
[03:40] Kate; internal
    In order to become Star Bearers,
    we will need to gather information.
[03:44] Kate; internal
    First, we should investigate
    to see who has soot powers.
[03:48] Louise
    Kate!
[03:50] Kate
    Louise...
[03:52] Kate
    Kate is on her way to the training room.
[03:55] Kate
    Would you like to come with Kate?
[03:57] Louise
    Louise is tired, so she's
    going back to her rooms.
[04:00] Louise
    Oh! But look, look!
[04:09] Louise
    A cute expression!
[04:12] Louise
    An even cuter expression!
[04:16] Louise
    An expression that's even more cute!
[04:20] Louise
    See? See?
[04:21] Louise
    Louise has improved, hasn't she?
[04:22] Louise
    Louise's repertoire has expanded.
[04:24] Kate
    That's amazing!
[04:26] Kate
    But doesn't that cause your
    living doll to break down?
[04:29] Louise
    What?
[04:30] Louise
    Her face is as beautiful as ever.
[04:33] Louise
    Louise is so glad you were here, Kate!
[04:35] Louise
    She can't boast to Sarah.
[04:37] Louise
    Louise doesn't know if she
    can even show Sarah or not.
[04:40] Kate; internal
    That's right.
[04:42] Kate; internal
    We don't know if Sarah or
    Maryrose can use soot powers.
[04:53] background shadow; male
    That sounds like fun.
[04:54] background shadow; male
    Let's try it next time.
[04:56] Kate
    All of them can control soot.
[04:59] Kate
    What kinds of powers might they possess?
[05:02] Isabelle
    You must be Kate.
[05:10] Kate; internal
    The twins who are always
    cozying up to the Star Bearers.
[05:13] Kate; internal
    They're sure to try to become
    Star Bearers the next chance they get.
[05:21] Patrick; internal
    What are Kate and Louise doing
    that they'd keep secret from Patrick?
[05:26] Patrick; internal
    And Emilico was with them, too.
[05:28] Louise
    What are you doing over there?
[05:30] Patrick
    Huh?
[05:31] Patrick
    Oh! Louise!
[05:33] Louise
    Well, well...
[05:34] Louise
    Could it be that you were planning
    to go to that room up ahead?
[05:37] Louise
    Patrick, you haven't received permission
    for that yet, have you?
[05:40] Patrick
    P-Patrick knows that. He knows that.
[05:43] Patrick
    Of course Patrick wouldn't do that.
[05:44] Patrick
    Patrick was simply taking a little walk.
[05:46] Patrick
    And Patrick was just about
    to head back to his rooms!
[05:49] Louise
    Really? How very suspicious.
[05:53] Isabelle
    You're quite adept at soot
    manipulation for a beginner.
[05:56] Isabelle
    That's what Susanna said.
    She was praising you.
[05:59] Mirabelle
    No wonder you passed your debut.
[06:04] Isabelle
    Pleased to meet you. We're Isabelle...
[06:06] Mirabelle
    ...and Mirabelle.
[06:09] Kate
    Kate is pleased to meet you.
[06:11] Emilico
    Woof!
[06:12] Kate
    Emilico? What are you doing?
[06:13] Emilico
    Woof! Woof!
[06:15] Emilico
    Woof! Woof! Woof!
[06:17] Douglas
    What's going on there?
[06:19] Emilico
    Woof! Woof!
[06:20] Kate
    You two are controlling her, aren't you?
[06:22] Mirabelle
    Dear, dear...
[06:24] Mirabelle
    Even if one has some degree of soot power...
[06:26] Isabelle
    ...with a face like that, one can only give up.
[06:28] Emilico
    Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
[06:32] Isabelle
    Now, the way back...
[06:34] Mirabelle
    ...is right through there.
[06:36] Isabelle; Mirabelle
    Huh?
[06:41] Kate
    Let's go, Emilico.
[06:43] Emilcio
    Yes, Mistress!
[06:44] Isabelle
    What do you think you're doing?
[06:47] Kate
    What do you mean?
[06:48] Kate
    Since you're twins,
[06:49] Kate
    Kate can only presume your clumsy
     spells have the same timing, too.
[06:58] Kate
    Kate is sorry, Emilico.
[07:00] Emilico
    What?
[07:01] Kate
    If we want to become Star Bearers,
[07:03] Kate
    we shouldn't respond to such provocations.
[07:05] Kate
    Those twins must hate us now, too.
[07:10] Emilico
    Wait!
[07:12] Emilico
    When you saved me, it made me really happy,
[07:15] Emilico
    Mistress Kate!
[07:21] Kate
    Did it?
[07:42] Emilico
    I wasn't able to sleep very well.
[07:46] Emilico
    After all, today is...
[07:48] Mia
    Good morning, Emilico!
[07:50] Mia
    Now, let's go to the rejoicing party!
[07:55] Olly
    Where's Barbie?
[07:57] Susie
    Attending to one of Mistress Barbara's fits.
[07:59] Susie
    We'll have to take her some coffee later.
[08:06] Emilico
    Aside from Shaun, I can't rely on anyone.
[08:09] Emilico
    Oh!
[08:10] Emilico
    But I do feel like I'll be able to
    explain everything to my team!
[08:14] Emilico
    Huh? Where's Rosemary?
[08:17] Mia
    She went to take out the garbage
     quite some time ago.
[08:19] Mia
    Where could she be dilly-dallying?
[08:25] Mia
    Oh.
[08:26] Mia
    Oh, there she is!
[08:38] Mia
    What?
[08:39] Mia
    Has Rose gotten soot sickness again?
[08:43] Emilico
    A-Are you all right?
[08:46] Emilico
    Rosemary?
[08:48] Emilico
    Something about the shape
    of her seems... strange.
[08:50] Ben
    Move away from her!
[08:56] Ben
    Scorches!
[09:04] Emilico
    Take...
[09:05] Emilico
    that!
[09:09] Emilico
    They're stronger than the ones
    we got rid of in the garden!
[09:12] Emilico
    These scorches must be denser!
[09:14] Mia
    Honestly, that Rose!
[09:16] Mia
    Where did she pick these up?
[09:19] Emilico
    Oh! Oh, no!
[09:26] Emilico
    Are you all right?
[09:38] Emilico
    Shaun!
[09:39] Shaun
    Emilico! Are you unharmed?
[09:41] Emilico
    Yes.
[09:42] Emilico
    After the scorch went
    in his mouth, he attacked me.
[09:45] Shaun
    If they get all the way inside...
[09:47] Shaun
    You turn into that?
[09:49] Ben
    Pull them off!
[09:51] Shaun
    Blast it!
[09:52] Shaun
    They've gotten to several of us already!
[09:54] Ben
    Tie up anyone fighting back!
[10:04] Susie
    Wh-What is all this commotion?
[10:07] Olly
    Whoa!
[10:08] Susie
    First-aid team!
[10:09] Susie
    Take all living dolls with soot
    sickness to the washing room!
[10:11] Ben
    Susie! Can we use water?
[10:13] Susie
    Well, we'd have to ask Barbie.
[10:16] Susie
    Olly, will you go and ask...
[10:18] Susie
    Oh, for crying out... He's gone!
[10:23] Ricky
    He's strong!
[10:24] Shaun
    Follow Ben's example!
[10:30] Emilico
    Take that!
[10:32] Mia
    Nice work, Emilico!
[10:35] Doug
    Whoops, look out!
[10:38] Emilico
    Mia!
[10:55] Susie
    The coffee! We have to protect the coffee!
[10:58] Susie
    Belle!
[10:59] Susie
    Take the coffee and retreat!
[11:01] Belle; Belle
    Right away!
[11:02] Susie
    Doug's team!
[11:03] Susie
    Go and bring the emergency
    cleaning equipment!
[11:06] Doug
    Understood!
[11:08] Emilico
    Mia! Mia!
[11:18] Emilico
    P-Please stop, Mia!
[11:23] Lou
    Emilico, while you can...
[11:25] Emilico
    Right!
[11:30] Lou
    Emilico, let's run.
[11:32] Emilico
    Yes, let's.
[11:39] Susie
    Everyone, calm down!
[11:42] Susie
    The scorches have retreated
     to the second floor!
[11:44] Susie
    If we deal with this calmly now,
[11:47] Susie
    it shouldn't pose
    a significant problem to...
[11:56] Shaun
    A phantom.
[11:57] Emilico
    Yes.
[12:10] Susie
    The scorches from earlier...
[12:12] Susie
    All of them...
[12:13] Susie
    They've combined!
[12:23] Ben
    It's no good.
[12:24] Ben
    Even if I break them off, they reform.
[12:30] Emilico
    What are we supposed to do
    against something like that?
[12:40] Olly
    Sir!
[12:40] Olly
    The mobile soot collector, Oliver Mark II...
[12:43] Olly
    has been completed with impeccable timing!
[12:45] Emilico
    Wow!
[12:48] Olly
    That said, we haven't done a test run.
[12:51] Olly
    But with you, my fellow researcher,
    at my side, we can do this, Nancy!
[12:54] Nancy
    I'm not so sure.
[12:57] Olly
    Now, we switch it on!
[13:06] Olly
    Good. The force produced is okay.
[13:08] Olly
    I'll temporarily reduce the power.
[13:15] Nancy
    I... I will go charge in.
[13:18] Nancy
    Please increase the power.
[13:21] Nancy
    Wait a moment, please—!
[13:26] Olly
    My!
[13:27] Nancy
    I can't go on.
[13:31] Olly
    You've done good work, Nancy!
[13:34] Olly
    Much can be learned from mistakes!
[13:36] Olly
    The user must be quick-witted,
    agile, and physically strong!
[13:38] Olly
    One needs an instinctive understanding of
    how to counter the hose's movements!
[13:42] Olly
    Is there anyone here
    who might be able to handle it?
[13:44] Susie
    Olly!
[13:45] Susie
    Stop tinkering with that
     unusable machine and help us!
[13:50] Emilico
    Excuse me!
[13:53] Emilico
    Please allow me to do it!
[13:57] Olly
    Mobile soot collector...
[13:59] Olly
    Oliver Mark II!
[14:01] Emilico
    It's spectacular!
[14:04] Olly
    First, the scorches are
     sucked in through the nozzle.
[14:06] Olly
    They then pass through a mill
    which pulverizes them,
[14:09] Olly
    and they're stored in the
    soot tank under the driver's seat.
[14:13] Olly
    Oh, and this is the power unit.
[14:20] Olly
    There's also a cutter
    embedded within the pipe.
[14:23] Olly
    It's incredibly dangerous,
[14:25] Olly
    so please do not put
    your arms or legs inside.
[14:27] Emilico
    I won't!
[14:29] Olly
    I will adjust the power level,
[14:31] Olly
    so when you're ready, please let me know!
[14:35] Emilico
    Ready to go!
[14:36] Olly
    Switching it on!
[14:44] Olly
    Wow!
[14:45] Olly
    It's bucking a bit, but she's
    heading toward the phantom!
[14:47] Emilico
    Here we go!
[14:52] Olly
    You're doing well! It's working!
[15:10] Olly
    With the suction pointed toward the floor,
[15:11] Olly
    she's riding the nozzle
    to move at high speed!
[15:14] Shaun
    Ingenious!
[15:16] Ben
    We'll break up the phantom
    so that Emilico can suck it up!
[15:23] Emilico
    There!
[15:27] Emilico
    And there!
[15:28] boy 5
    Yeah! We can do this!
[15:30] girl 7
    We should all help break up the phantom, too!
[15:35] Ricky
    Ow, ow, ow...
[15:39] Ricky
    Huh?
[15:39] Shaun
    Hey!
[15:41] Shaun
    Are you all right, Ricky?
[15:44] Ricky
    I found it.
[15:45] Ricky
    The figure Barbie talked about.
[15:47] Shaun
    Wha—? Really?
[15:50] Ricky
    Up there.
[15:54] Ricky
    It's standing on one of the beams.
[15:59] Ricky
    Huh? Hey, wait!
[16:00] Ricky
    I'm the one who spotted it!
[16:10] Shaun
    Is it still there?
[16:12] Ricky
    Yes, it's there.
[16:15] Ricky
    It's trying to get away!
[16:17] Shaun
    I won't let it!
[16:17] Ricky
    Hey!
[16:21] Ricky
    Neither will I.
[16:26] Ricky
    Shaun! Help...
[16:28] Ricky
    No.
[16:29] Ricky
    Never mind about me!
[16:30] Ricky
    What you're doing is the priority!
[16:32] Ricky
    Leave me and go on ahead!
[16:34] Ricky
    You could have hesitated just a little!
[16:40] Shaun
    Okay.
[16:41] Shaun
    I'm just about to catch up!
[16:51] Shaun
    Wait!
[16:58] Shaun
    It got away.
[17:00] Ricky
    Shaun!
[17:01] Ricky
    Come help me after all!
[17:03] Ricky
    Hey!
[17:07] Ben
    We can do this!
[17:14] Olly
    Oh! This is bad!
[17:16] Olly
    It's performing outside its parameters!
[17:18] Olly
    Based on this pattern of events,
    its limiter may not be working...
[17:21] Olly
    because the power has been operating
    for a prolonged period of time.
[17:24] Nancy
    To put it simply, it is on the fritz!
[17:28] Lou
    Emilico, where are you going?
[17:30] Emilico
    Please ask the nozzle!
[17:35] Emilico
    Oh, that was close.
[17:39] Olly
    I will temporarily shut it down!
[17:41] Nancy
    What?
[17:42] Jeremy
    Wouldn't it be bad to turn it off now?
[17:44] Lyddy
    Yes, it would.
[17:49] Lou
    Emilico!
[17:54] boy 5
    She's amazing.
[17:57] Susie
    This is no time to be distracted!
[17:59] girl 2
    Take this!
[18:04] boy 5
    The phantom just shot out a scorch!
[18:07] girl 4
    In this brief amount of time,
[18:08] girl 4
    it's increased the number
    of ways it can attack?
[18:11] Barbie
    Watch the way it's moving, you useless lot!
[18:14] Barbie
    The scorches will come flying
    in the same direction their faces appear.
[18:17] Barbie
    They're aiming for our mouths!
[18:19] Barbie
    They'll move in straight lines.
[18:25] Barbie
    Use that to aim!
[18:28] Barbie
    That girl again...
[18:30] Barbie
    Just how infuriated
    is she trying to make me?
[18:33] Doug
    Doug's team, reporting back
    with the emergency cleaning equipment!
[18:36] Barbie
    Good!
[18:37] Barbie
    Everyone provide support for Doug's team!
[18:39] Barbie
    Bring water!
[18:41] Barbie
    If the need arises,
    I grant permission to use it!
[18:44] Susanna
    Barbie is directing things quite well.
[18:46] Susanna
    Perhaps there won't be any need
    to use soot powers.
[18:48] Susanna
    There are living dolls here whose shadows
    have yet to awaken their powers.
[18:54] Shaun
    Emilico?
[18:55] Ricky
    How did you end up like that?
[19:00] Emilico
    Olly!
[19:01] Emilico
    Please turn the power up to full!
[19:03] Nancy
    What? While you're in that state?
[19:05] Olly
    I've removed the limiter!
[19:12] Nancy
    What?
[19:21] Doug
    The phantom's getting smaller!
[19:24] Nancy
    The tank has reached full capacity!
[19:26] Olly
    Let's open it up, Nancy!
[19:28] Olly
    The contents have been pulverized,
[19:30] Olly
    so they shouldn't become
    scorches again for a while!
[19:33] Nancy
    I'm not sure about this.
[19:36] Ricky
    All right. Just a little more.
[19:41] Ricky; Lou
    Emilico!
[19:51] Olly
    Magnificent! Well done!
[19:57] Shaun
    Are you all right, Emilico?
[20:00] Emilico
    Yes, of course I am.
[20:02] Olly
    Huh?
[20:03] Belle
    Don't come this way!
[20:07] Emilico
    There are scorches headed toward Belle!
[20:09] Emilico
    I'm coming to help you now!
[20:11] Shaun
    She's got amazing strength of spirit.
[20:13] Ricky
    Ow...
[20:15] Lou
    Say, Ricky...
[20:17] Ricky
    Huh?
[20:18] Lou
    Has my face been harmed?
[20:21] Ricky
    What?
[20:23] Ricky
    Huh? I feel like...
[20:25] Lou
    I feel like this has happened before.
[20:30] Oliver
    Yes!
[20:31] Oliver
    This has been a huge success!
[20:32] Susanna
    What? Oliver?!
[20:34] Susanna
    What are you doing there?
[20:35] Oliver
    Operating this machine
    requires Oliver's soot powers.
[20:39] Susanna
    That makes sense.
[20:41] Susanna
    Still, with this many scorches,
[20:45] Susanna
    checking the soot pipes
    seems like a good idea.
[20:48] Barbie
    Yes, miss.
[20:53] Emilico
    Are you hurt at all, Belle?
[20:55] Belle
    Not really.
[20:57] Belle
    Nothing that presents a problem.
[20:59] Belle
    And the coffee is safe, too.
[21:04] Emilico
    Huh?
[21:24] Belle; Belle
    N-No!
[21:26] Belle; Belle
    I didn't do that!
[21:31] Emilico
    On this day,
[21:33] Emilico
    the living dolls have been
    returned to their rooms,
[21:35] Emilico
    and they, along with their shadow masters,
[21:37] Emilico
    have been forbidden from leaving.
[21:41] Emilico
    Rosemary, Mia...
[21:42] Emilico
    and everyone who
    contracted soot sickness...
[21:45] Emilico
    All I can do is worry for them.
[21:48] Emilico
    Why did the Belles do such a thing?
[21:50] Emilico
    After hearing my story,
[21:53] Emilico
    Mistress Kate is quietly
    thinking things over.
[21:56] Emilico
    What is happening here
    in the children's wing?
[22:05] lyric
    Traveling through a jumbled labyrinth...
[22:10] lyric
    Over and over
[22:14] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[22:19] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[22:23] lyric
    A vanished smile
[22:25] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[22:28] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[22:32] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[22:37] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[22:43] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[22:48] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[22:53] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:57] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[23:01] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[23:06] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[23:10] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[23:15] lyric
    Again and again
[23:19] lyric
    I'll wish on a star

[01:37] Benjamin
    Barbara, how is your health?
[01:40] Barbara
    It poses no difficulty.
[01:41] Barbara
    And we are in no position
    to be discussing it.
[01:43] Oliver
    The source of the phantoms
    is definitely the soot pipes.
[01:47] Oliver
    As we suspected, the door
    to the soot-crushing room was left open,
[01:50] Oliver
    and both of the veiled
    dolls assigned full time
[01:53] Oliver
    to the soot pipes have soot sickness.
[01:55] Oliver
    Soot is sent here through the pipes
    that run through every room,
[01:59] Oliver
    so a lot of scorches come through here.
[02:02] Oliver
    After being set loose,
     they combined to form a phantom.
[02:05] Oliver
    After a great cleaning,
[02:07] Oliver
    the scorches are sent to Lord Grandfather's
    wing to be crushed and disposed of.
[02:11] Oliver
    Given time, scorches will regenerate,
     so it's done before that happens.
[02:15] Barbara
    They chose the precise time when there'd
     be the maximum number of scorches.
[02:19] Susanna
    This is your fault, Susie!
[02:21] Susanna
    Entrusting the coffee to others
    was the worst possible choice!
[02:24] Barbara
    Susanna...
[02:27] Barbara
    The one who favored the twins
    was you, wasn't it?
[02:30] Barbara
    Susie simply abided by your opinion.
[02:32] Susanna
    If we're pointing fingers,
[02:34] Susanna
    then you and Barbie
    bear responsibility as well.
[02:37] Susanna
    Neither of you were there at all!
[02:39] Oliver
    Let's not fight.
[02:41] Oliver
    Not among fellow Star Bearers.
[02:42] Gil
    Please excuse us.
[02:44] Gil
    Gil and Eve from the first-aid team,
[02:46] Gil
    here to report!
[02:48] Eve
    Two living dolls are seriously ill.
[02:50] Eve
    Ten have contracted light soot sickness.
[02:52] Eve
    Teams in which all members are healthy are
[02:54] Eve
    the first-aid team, the research team,
[02:56] Eve
    Doug's team, and Belle's team.
[02:59] Barbara
    And the one who brought the
     scorches and started it all...
[03:01] Barbara
    Rosemary. What is her testimony?
[03:03] Gil
    She is still unable to speak.
[03:06] Gil
    We will return to the washing room.
[03:12] Oliver
    Will we report this to Edward?
[03:17] Barbara
    We couldn't possibly.
[03:20] Barbara
    We allowed the coffee carafes
     to be broken by rebellious forces.
[03:23] Barbara
    A great number of living dolls
    have been stricken with soot sickness.
[03:25] Barbara
    We won't be able to grant them
    any coffee for an entire week.
[03:28] Barbara
    And we don't know the motives
    behind these crimes.
[03:31] Barbara
    It is unlikely that we will be
    able to remain Star Bearers.
[03:36] Barbara
    And once our Star Bearer status is gone,
[03:38] Barbara
    there is no guaranteeing
     that we'll be allowed to live.
[03:40] Barbara
    No, what is even more unforgivable...
[03:45] Barbara
    is that as Star Bearers who watch
    over the children's wing,
[03:48] Barbara
    we were entrusted with the
     incredibly precious coffee,
[03:52] Barbara
    and we have betrayed
    Lord Grandfather's love for us!
[03:56] Barbara
    And that is precisely why we
    must put things right ourselves.
[04:01] Barbara
    First, we will quell the
    chaos in the children's wing!
[04:04] Barbara
    The twins will be punished immediately.
[04:06] Barbara
    How we deal with Rosemary will be decided
    once we've heard what she has to say.
[04:10] Barbara
    And that troublesome intruder...
[04:12] Barbara
    Blast it! This is infuriating!
[04:14] Barbara
    Before word of this reaches the adults,
[04:16] Barbara
    we must come to some consensus
    about how to deal with it.
[04:20] Susanna
    Future patrols of the soot pipes
    will have to be more stringent.
[04:23] Susanna
    But why did this phantom disturbance
     occur in the first place?
[04:26] Benjamin
    Someone is trying
    to bring down the Star Bearers.
[04:29] Oliver
    The twin Belles were merely expendable
    perpetrators, don't you think?
[04:33] Benjamin
    We will discover the true culprit
    and dispense with them.
[04:37] Barbara
    It is just as Edward said after all.
[04:41] (Flashback) Edward
    Be wary of Kate.
[04:47] Kate; internal
    Everyone has been called
    to the Star Bearers' meeting room.
[04:50] Kate; internal
    Has there been some sort of development?
[04:52] Barbara
    Everyone, we have resolved this affair.
[04:55] Barbara
    The recent incident was caused by
    Isabelle and Mirabelle's living dolls.
[05:00] Barbara
    And as for the reports of the
    much-rumored mysterious figure...
[05:04] Barbara
    In this matter as well,
[05:05] Barbara
    we have confirmed that those same
    living dolls are the culprits!
[05:09] Barbara
    As such, the two pairs
[05:10] Barbara
    have been assigned soot-pipe
    cleaning as punishment.
[05:13] Barbara
    This puts an end to this matter.
[05:15] Barbara
    Any further talk of phantoms
    will not be tolerated!
[05:18] shadow A
    They've been sent to the soot pipes!
[05:19] shadow B
    That's what they deserve!
[05:21] shadow C
    Such discerning judgment.
[05:22] shadow D
    That's the Star Bearers for you!
[05:24] Douglas
    Cleaning soot pipes...
[05:25] Douglas
    For a shadow, that is the ultimate disgrace.
[05:28] James
    Indeed.
[05:29] James
    And after repeatedly
    contracting soot sickness,
[05:31] James
    the twin's living dolls will end
    up destroyed, don't you think?
[05:35] Barbara
    You are dismissed!
[05:40] Kate; internal
    So the twins have been given a punishment,
    and the matter brought to a close...
[05:48] Barbara
    Kate,
[05:49] Barbara
    do you have anything to say
    regarding the phantom incident?
[05:52] Kate
    What do you mean by this question?
[05:54] Kate
    I believe we were not
     to speak of it anymore.
[05:57] Susanna
    What an impertinent attitude.
[05:59] Susanna
    Just answer the Star Bearers'
    questions honestly.
[06:02] Kate
    Kate has nothing to say.
[06:05] Kate
    You don't suspect Kate of something, do you?
[06:09] Barbara
    And why would you think that?
[06:11] Barbara
    Could it be because you've done
     something suspicious?
[06:14] Oliver
    Now, Oliver thinks highly of you.
[06:17] Oliver
    It's only that, at this rate,
[06:18] Oliver
    Edward will get angry with—
[06:20] Susanna
    Quiet, Oliver!
[06:22] Kate; internal
    Edward?
[06:24] Kate; internal
    So that's what this is.
[06:26] Kate; internal
    He's putting pressure on the Star Bearers.
[06:29] Kate; internal
    Does he still suspect Kate of rebellion?
[06:33] Kate; internal
    He's quite persistent.
[06:34] Susanna
    Emitting soot like that...
[06:37] Susanna
    means you must be feeling guilty
     about something. Right?
[06:39] Benjamin
    Speak of what you know while you still can.
[06:42] Kate; internal
    In short, there was never any chance
[06:46] Kate; internal
    the Star Bearers would think highly of me.
[06:52] Kate
    You seem to be quite at your wit's end.
[06:57] Kate
    Kate is aware that Edward hates her.
[07:01] Kate
    He went to the trouble
    of committing an offense
[07:03] Kate
    and came to the children's wing...
[07:05] Kate
    All because he could not stand
    the outcome of Kate's debut.
[07:09] Kate
    Doesn't this seem like
    an unjustified grudge?
[07:12] Kate
    Your plan is to frame Kate as the culprit
    to curry favor with Edward
[07:16] Kate
    and send her to the soot pipes, is it not?
[07:19] Kate
    If you think that will resolve
    everything, then you're naïve.
[07:24] Kate
    The current Star Bearers...
[07:26] Kate
    Do you know how you're thought
    of in the children's wing?
[07:29] Kate
    They say that compared
    to Christopher, you're all far inferior.
[07:34] Benjamin
    You little...
[07:36] Kate
    Haven't you ever looked
    at yourselves objectively?
[07:39] Kate
    You may have been anxious about
    living up to Christopher's example,
[07:43] Kate
    but in reality, all you've done
     is whatever Edward says.
[07:46] Kate
    You are only letting him manipulate you.
[07:48] Kate
    The fact that you have your eyes on Kate...
[07:50] Kate
    means that you think that the twins
    aren't the only culprits, correct?
[07:55] Kate
    If Kate were in your place...
[07:59] Kate
    She would be able to truly
     resolve this matter!
[08:06] Barbara
    We will overlook your intemperate
    comments about the Star Bearers.
[08:12] Barbara
    You will not be granted
    any special authority.
[08:15] Barbara
    Refrain from any unpardonable actions
    which might set a bad example for others.
[08:20] Barbara
    If you are able to discover the true
    perpetrator in spite of all this,
[08:24] Barbara
    you shall receive great recognition.
[08:29] Barbara
    Blast it! This is infuriating!
[08:31] Barbara
    Why must everything be so troublesome?
[08:33] Benjamin
    If this fails, then we need only point
    to Kate as the culprit.
[08:37] Susanna
    No, Benjamin.
[08:39] Susanna
    That is the problem.
[08:42] Benjamin
    Soot stalactites?
[08:43] Susanna
    The mark of one with high soot volume.
[08:46] Barbara
    Shadows with high quantities
    of soot cannot be dealt with carelessly.
[08:50] Susanna
    Oh, it's all so troubling.
[08:54] Barbara
    Is Kate a traitor...
[08:56] Barbara
    or is she...
[09:00] Emilico
    You did it, Mistress Kate!
[09:02] Emilico
    If you can find the culprit,
[09:05] Emilico
    you'll be so much closer
    to becoming a Star Bearer!
[09:08] Kate
    You're right.
[09:09] Kate
    Persuading them went well.
[09:17] Emilico
    Oh!
[09:18] Emilico
    I need to go to the toilet!
[09:20] Emilico
    I won't be back for a while!
[09:40] Kate; internal
    Earlier, I snapped
[09:42] Kate; internal
    and ended up saying all
    of those things to the Star Bearers.
[09:44] Kate; internal
    The future seems bleak.
[09:49] Kate; internal
    Kate needs to think things through.
[09:51] Kate; internal
    What was the meaning behind
    the phantom disturbance?
[09:55] Kate; internal
    Is it someone who has a grudge against
    the Belles, who have now been punished?
[09:58] Kate; internal
    Or could it be a grudge
    against the Star Bearers?
[10:00] Kate; internal
    Was it arranged by someone who wants
    the position for him or herself?
[10:04] Kate; internal
    But could it really be so simple a motive?
[10:08] Kate; internal
    Someone is trying to fly the flag of rebellion against Shadows House...
[10:11] Kate; internal
    There's someone other than Kate.
[10:14] Kate; internal
    The most important facts are
    that the coffee carafes were broken...
[10:18] Kate; internal
    and the sighting of the mysterious figure.
[10:22] Kate; internal
    The individual that Emilico
    and the others call "Master Robe."
[10:26] Kate; internal
    The Star Bearers concluded
    that the Belles were responsible...
[10:30] Kate; internal
    but it seems worth
    considering the possibility...
[10:34] Kate; internal
    that it was someone
    in the children's wing...
[10:36] Kate; internal
    If that's the case,
[10:37] Kate; internal
    then it would have to be a non-Star-Bearer
    who has been here a relatively long time.
[10:41] Kate; internal
    Emilico told me...
[10:43] Kate; internal
    that it was an incredibly
    large phantom.
[10:46] Kate; internal
    Could it be the doing of a shadow
    with a high soot volume?
[10:49] Kate; internal
    It couldn't be...
[10:50] Kate; internal
    At that moment, Barbara just
    happened to not be present.
[10:54] Kate; internal
    They say that she can't control her soot.
[10:57] Kate; internal
    But if it was Barbara,
[10:59] Kate; internal
    then she may have had other reasons
    for entrusting this to Kate.
[11:02] Kate; internal
    And if we're speaking
    of high soot volume, John...
[11:05] Kate; internal
    No, it couldn't be him.
[11:08] Kate; internal
    Mind control powers
    can't manipulate shadows,
[11:11] Kate; internal
    but it might be possible
    to control scorches.
[11:14] Kate; internal
    Isabelle, Mirabelle, Louise...
[11:18] Kate; internal
    This is no good.
[11:19] Kate; internal
    Everyone is starting to seem suspicious.
[11:21] Kate; internal
    There is still far too little information.
[11:24] Kate; internal
    Speaking of which,
[11:25] Kate; internal
    it might be worth reviewing
    Emilico's "don't fret" notebook.
[11:30] Kate
    Emilico?
[11:31] Emilico
    Yes, Mistress?
[11:31] Kate
    That was quick!
[11:32] Kate
    Were you back there this whole time?
[11:39] Kate
    Hm?
[11:40] Kate
    Emilico, what is this map?
[11:43] Emilico
    That is a map of the main house
    that Mia drew for me.
[11:46] Emilico
    It was very helpful
[11:48] Emilico
    on our late-night patrols after
     the first phantom disturbance!
[11:52] Kate
    Mia contracted soot sickness, didn't she?
[11:56] Emilico
    Yes.
[11:58] Kate
    Shall we pay a visit to see how she is faring?
[12:00] Emilico
    May we, really?
[12:02] Kate
    Yes.
[12:02] Kate
    And there we might find some sort of lead.
[12:08] Isabelle; Mirabelle
    Open this! Open it now!
[12:11] Isabelle; Mirabelle
    Open it immediately!
[12:18] Isabelle
    It's soot sickness! Isabelle...
[12:21] Mirabelle
    ...and Mirabelle's faces have...
[12:23] Gilbert
    That was fast.
[12:24] Gilbert
    It hasn't even been ten minutes
    since you entered.
[12:28] Gil
    To the washing room!
[12:37] Gil
    Now, continue!
[12:38] Belle A
    Wait! I can't yet!
[12:40] Gilbert
    Do you intend to spend
    more than a year cleaning?
[12:42] Belle B
    No! I don't want to go back!
[12:45] Kate
    This place is in quite an uproar.
[12:47] Evelyn
    Do you require aid?
[12:52] Kate
    No.
[12:53] Kate
    We're on an investigation under
    special orders from the Star Bearers.
[12:56] Kate
    Please allow us to speak with the
     living dolls who are being cleansed.
[13:00] Emilico
    Huh?
[13:00] Emilico
    They said they weren't giving
    you any special authority.
[13:03] Kate
    Yes, well, the Star Bearers
    will likely forgive Kate this much.
[13:17] Emilico
    Mia?
[13:24] Emilico
    Mia, are you all right?
[13:32] Mia
    I tricked you!
[13:34] Mia
    Thank you.
[13:35] Mia
    Did you come to see how I'm doing?
[13:37] Emilico
    Yes!
[13:38] Mia
    Honestly, I've had enough of
     being seriously ill!
[13:41] Mia
    They keep telling me
    to rest, just to be safe.
[13:44] Mia
    All while Mistress Sarah waits in her rooms.
[13:46] Mia
    Oh, and listen to this!
[13:47] Mia
    Drinking the water was really—
[13:49] Mia
    Mistress Kate?! Please, forgive me!
[13:51] Kate
    It's quite all right.
[13:52] Kate
    The important thing is
    that you're all right.
[13:54] Kate
    Kate was told that you once
     drew a map for Emilico.
[13:58] Kate
    Kate apologizes for taking
    so long to thank you.
[14:01] Mia
    Oh! No, it's fine!
[14:02] Kate
    But to have another phantom wreak havoc...
[14:06] Kate
    Mia, on the day of the disturbance,
[14:08] Kate
    did you notice anything strange?
[14:11] Mia
    I was attacked by scorches
    almost immediately, so...
[14:17] Mia
    Honestly!
[14:18] Mia
    Thanks to Doug, I wasn't able
     to help with the phantom at all.
[14:25] Emilico
    That's Rosemary's voice!
[14:28] Evelyn
    It's another fit!
[14:51] Evelyn
    Eve, administer the remaining two sets
    at three-minute intervals.
[15:00] Evelyn
    We haven't introduced
    ourselves yet, have we?
[15:02] Evelyn
    Evelyn, in charge of cleansing.
[15:05] Kate
    Kate.
[15:06] Evelyn
    You want to hear
    from the patient, is that right?
[15:08] Evelyn
    But that is not possible at the moment.
[15:11] Evelyn
    She's being given the very best treatments.
[15:14] Evelyn
    We can only hope that she doesn't break.
[15:20] Kate
    Rosemary is sure to return
    to her former self.
[15:25] Emilico
    Yes!
[15:25] Emilico
    I trust that she will!
[15:27] Kate
    Of greater concern
[15:28] Kate
    is that Rosemary was the
     instigator of the incident...
[15:32] Kate
    and how the Star Bearers will
     ultimately deal with her.
[15:34] Emilico
    If we find the real culprit,
[15:36] Emilico
    then she won't be disposed of, right?
[15:38] Emilico
    And neither will the Belles!
[15:40] Kate
    What did you think
    of Mia's condition earlier?
[15:42] Emilico
    She was as spirited as ever!
[15:45] Kate
    Yes.
[15:46] Kate
    It isn't to be underestimated.
[15:48] Kate
    Kate had hoped that the brainwashing
    effects of the coffee might have weakened.
[15:52] Kate
    But that doesn't seem to be the case.
[15:55] Kate
    Coffee has been accumulating
    within her over a long period of time.
[15:58] Kate
    This brief interruption produced no change.
[16:00] Emilico
    Yes, she was just as she always is.
[16:05] Emilico
    That's right!
[16:06] Emilico
    The Star Bearers' meeting room
    was on the third floor, right?
[16:08] Emilico
    The map that Mia drew for me only
    showed up to the second floor.
[16:12] Kate
    True.
[16:13] Kate
    And it only showed the main house.
[16:16] Kate
    That's it.
[16:17] Kate
    We will take this as an opportunity to
     create a floor plan of the children's wing.
[16:25] Kate
    This is the site of the incident.
[16:27] Kate
    If a shadow took advantage of
[16:29] Kate
    the disturbance to hide somewhere
    and control the Belles,
[16:31] Kate
    it is unlikely that they would be noticed.
[16:35] Kate
    Now that Kate thinks about it,
[16:37] Kate
    Kate's room is being watched.
[16:39] Kate
    To be treated as the culprit
    in the face of that...
[16:41] Kate
    It's too much, isn't it?
[16:42] Emilico
    It really is!
[16:44] boy 6
    Oh, it's Kate!
[16:46] boy 7
    We heard that your face played
    an important role in the great cleaning.
[16:50] boy 7
    That's impressive.
[16:51] Kate
    Oh. Well, thank you.
[16:53] boy 4
    You guys.
[16:54] boy 4
    Don't make a living doll's
    work the topic of conversation.
[16:58] boy 6
    Oh!
[16:59] boy 6
    It is unbefitting of a shadow.
[17:02] boy 7
    Please don't tattle on us
    to the Star Bearers!
[17:06] Emilico
    They complimented me.
[17:08] Kate
    Kate is happy that there are some
    who hold Emilico in high regard.
[17:20] John
    Have you been well, Kate?
[17:22] Kate
    Why are you coming from a place like that?
[17:24] John
    That's John's room!
[17:26] John
    Calling out loudly
    to stop you would be bad, right?
[17:28] John
    It's better not to do anything
    that might draw attention.
[17:31] Kate
    If you think that what you
    just did won't draw attention,
[17:34] Kate
    then Kate has nothing more to say.
[17:38] John
    Interesting.
[17:40] John
    And impressive as always, Kate!
[17:41] John
    Right!
[17:42] John
    John will lend his strength
    to help solve this case!
[17:44] Emilico
    I'm so happy to have you
    with us, Master John!
[17:47] John
    What?
[17:48] John
    You didn't move your mouth at all!
[17:51] Emilico
    I didn't want anyone to think that a face was
    speaking on its own while we were outside,
[17:54] Emilico
    so I practiced!
[17:55] John
    Incredible!
[17:56] John
    Shaun, John wants you to do that, too!
[17:58] John
    John has no idea what you're saying!
[18:01] Shaun
    Mistress Kate, while
    we're speaking of this...
[18:04] Shaun
    On the day of the phantom disturbance,
[18:05] Shaun
    I spotted a suspicious figure.
[18:07] Kate
    Was it, perhaps, the robed figure?
[18:09] Shaun
    Yes.
[18:10] Shaun
    Ricky and I chased it,
    but it escaped us almost immediately.
[18:16] Kate
    Is someone watching us?
[18:20] Kate
    It's possible that they're monitoring us.
[18:23] girl 4
    Those two are engaged
    or something, aren't they?
[18:27] girl 3
    To go on a date at a time like this...
[18:29] girl 3
    They seem quite sure of themselves.
[18:33] Kate
    John really is just an
    encumbrance, isn't he?
[18:37] Emilico
    Mistress Kate!
[18:59] Kate
    Kate is exhausted!
[19:00] Kate
    But this is an impressive result,
     wouldn't you say?
[19:02] Emilico
    As always, you're amazing, Mistress Kate!
[19:04] Kate
    The areas we weren't able to access were...
[19:07] Kate
    the ramparts and the
    Star Bearers' residential wing.
[19:09] Kate
    Most of it was locked.
[19:12] Kate
    And we haven't yet gone to the area
    where Star Bearers are often found,
[19:15] Kate
    the third floor of the main house.
[19:17] John
    Huh?
[19:18] John
    Speaking of the third floor
    of the main house...
[19:20] John
    It has an external stairway connected to it.
[19:26] Kate
    What? Are you going there?
[19:29] Kate
    Now?
[19:31] John
    Heights are meant to be reached, right?
[19:37] Emilico
    Wow!
[19:41] Emilico
    What a wonderful view!
[19:43] Shaun
    This is dangerous.
[19:44] John
    So, part of the third floor is outdoors.
[19:47] Emilico
    It's fun seeing the map get filled in!
[19:53] Kate
    Wait... The three of you...
[19:55] Kate
    You're too quick.
[19:57] Emilico
    Mistress Kate!
[19:59] John
    Kate!
[19:59] John
    John will lend you a hand.
[20:00] Kate
    It's too late now!
[20:02] John
    You used soot for that?!
[20:06] Kate
    What a pleasant breeze.
[20:08] Kate; internal
    After John proposed it,
    Kate came here unwillingly,
[20:11] Kate; internal
    but it's a nice change of pace,
    so it might have been for the best.
[20:15] Emilico
    Mistress Kate, why would
    there be a cabin there?
[20:19] John
    It's quite large, but John
     has never noticed it before.
[20:22] Kate
    It doesn't look maintained.
[20:24] Kate
    It's quite overgrown.
[20:26] John
    Let's go and check it out!
[20:27] John
    We may be able to make
    a secret base for ourselves!
[20:30] Emilico
    That sounds like fun!
[20:37] Emilico
    Are you all right, Mistress Kate?
[20:40] Shaun
    The door is rusted shut. It won't budge at all.
[20:43] John
    Stand aside!
[20:44] John
    John will wrench it open for Kate's sake!
[21:26] Emilico
    Being precisely in the path
    of the window frame saved us!
[21:29] Kate
    John! You truly are just...
[21:33] Shaun
    He was the only one to suffer from this.
[21:35] Shaun
    Please forgive him.
[21:36] Kate
    Honestly.
[21:37] Kate
    It's because he does
    everything by brute force.
[21:46] Oliver
    Huh?
[21:49] Oliver; Kate
    What?
[21:55] Oliver
    You...
[21:56] Kate
    We're so sorry!

    Super living doll, secured!
[00:28] Oliver
    You handled Oliver's invention
    wonderfully well, didn't you?
[00:33] Oliver
    You have so much power concealed
    within such a small frame!
[00:38] Oliver
    Right, Olly!
[00:39] Oliver
    Give her a thorough examination, will you?
[00:40] Olly
    Yes, Professor Oliver!
[00:42] John
    Shaun!
[00:42] Olly; background
    First, raise your arms up.
[00:43] John
    Make sure Emilico isn't having
    any strange experiments run...
[00:44] Olly; background
    Slowly stretch your back, and then...
[00:46] Olly; Emilico; background
    One, two! One, two!
[00:47] John
    He's gone.
[00:49] Emilico
    Shaun...
[00:49] John; background
    Hey!
[00:51] John
    John is trying to apologize.

[00:55] Oliver
    Are you guests here?
[00:56] Shaun; Emilico
    Huh?
[00:57] John
    He's not listening!
[01:00] Oliver
    Anna! Nancy! Please make some black tea.
[01:04] Anna

[02:43] Anna
    We didn't have many tea leaves left,
[02:46] Anna
    but we managed to make enough for everyone.
[02:52] Kate; internal
    It's so weak!
[02:54] Oliver
    Anna, Nancy, thank you.
[02:58] John
    Is this feeding time?!
[03:02] Anna
    This is one way that Oliver
    shows affection, you see.
[03:05] John
    It's bizarre!
[03:05] Lydia
    Quit all the screeching, brats.
[03:08] Lydia
    I'll slit your throats.
[03:11] John
    She's scary!
[03:13] Anna
    Lydia and Liddy have
    a slightly rough way of speaking.
[03:16] John
    As a noble, that level
    of roughness is absurd!
[03:19] John
    And that pair!
[03:20] John
    How are they able to sleep
    through all of this?
[03:23] Anna
    Jeremiah and Jeremy don't like others
     intruding on their world.
[03:28] John
    John has no idea what that means!
[03:30] John
    Does everyone here lack an
     awareness of common sense?
[03:36] Kate; internal
    John has awareness of common sense?
[03:39] Oliver
    Well, we've only just
    moved the laboratory here.
[03:42] Kate
    Why here?
[03:44] Oliver
    Our previous lab was in the
     basement of the main house,
[03:48] Oliver
    but it was just too cramped.
[03:50] Oliver
    This place is old and dirty,
[03:52] Oliver
    but it's connected to the house,
    and it's big, which is useful.
[03:56] Oliver
    The outer doors were rusted and wouldn't open,
[03:58] Oliver
    so we had planned
    to do repairs later, but...
[04:04] Oliver
    It's so much easier to get
     outside through the front now!
[04:07] Oliver
    It's quite convenient!
[04:09] Kate; internal
    He certainly has a positive mindset.
[04:11] Oliver
    Kate has been investigating that recent matter,
    and the boy beside her is...
[04:15] Anna
    Murmur, murmur, murmur...
[04:17] Oliver
    Oh! They're in that sort of 
    relationship, are they?
[04:21] Kate; internal
    Just how far has the story spread?
[04:25] Olly
    Now, let's remove your portrait, shall we?
[04:27] Shaun
    Emilico is capable of
    changing her own clothes!
[04:37] Emilico
    I smell something nice!
[04:41] John
    The pair that was sleeping
    woke up without us noticing!
[04:46] John
    Well, that area certainly looks fancy!
[04:49] Emilico
    He's a living doll...
    but he gets to eat meat?
[04:52] Olly
    It's a privilege for those
    associated with Star Bearers.
[04:55] Olly
    They get more extravagant food
    than other living dolls!
[04:58] Olly
    And they're exempted from great cleanings.
[05:00] Kate
    That's quite a lot of exceptions.
[05:01] Kate
    And the shadows work, too.
[05:04] Anna
    It isn't work.
[05:06] Anna
    The first-aid team performs
    philanthropic actions,
[05:09] Anna
    and the research team explores knowledge.
     That is their purpose.
[05:14] Kate; internal
    The first-aid team and research team...
[05:16] Kate; internal
    The members of these teams may
    be future Star Bearer candidates.
[05:20] Kate
    So, what is the research team making?
[05:23] Kate
    Something like the soot remover?
[05:25] Oliver
    That was created previously,
    and Oliver and the others maintain it.
[05:29] Oliver
    That mobile soot collector
    is something Oliver made!
[05:33] Kate
    Incredible.
[05:34] Kate
    Kate likes things like that.
[05:36] John
    You do?
[05:37] Oliver
    Just what one would expect
    of the super living doll's master!
[05:41] Kate
    Kate hopes you will show her everything!
[05:43] Emilico
    One hundred!
[05:44] Emilico
    One hundred one, one hundred two,
     one hundred three,
[05:46] Olly
    Incredible!
[05:47] Olly
    She shows no sign of dropping them!
[05:47] Emilico
    one hundred four, one hundred five,
     one hundred six...
[05:49] Shaun
    You can do it, Emilico!
[05:51] Oliver
    This is a model of
     a lightweight soot collector.
[05:54] Oliver
    After the Oliver Mark II's success,
    we are proceeding to rave reviews!
[05:59] Kate
    This one has wheels attached.
[06:01] Kate
    Based on the size, could these be... shoes?
[06:04] Oliver
    Exactly! They're shoe-shaped cycles!
[06:08] John
    There's no opportunity for John
    to join the conversation!
[06:10] Oliver
    Kate, you are impressive!
[06:12] Oliver
    And you produce soot stalactites.
    You're quite exceptional.
[06:15] Kate
    Soot stalactites?
[06:17] Kate
    Do you mean those things
    that form on the ceiling when Kate is angry?
[06:20] Oliver
    Uh-oh.
[06:21] Oliver
    Um, this is a secret, but...
[06:24] Oliver
    It's a trait peculiar to those
    who have a high soot volume.
[06:28] Oliver
    In the children's wing,
    there are only a handful of such cases.
[06:30] Oliver
    According to Susanna...
[06:32] Oliver
    Barbara, Benjamin, Gilbert, Kate, John.
[06:36] Oliver
    And, based on the volume
    of soot collected from the rooms,
[06:39] Oliver
    some say that Douglas and Sarah
    might be able to create stalactites, too.
[06:43] Kate; internal
    He's giving Kate quite a lot of information.
[06:45] Kate
    Oliver, regarding the phantom incident,
[06:48] Kate
    who do you find suspicious?
[06:51] Oliver
    Oliver doesn't know anything
    about that sort of thing.
[06:54] Oliver
    But he does think
    that it's likely to be a man.
[06:58] Kate
    Why is that?
[06:59] Oliver
    This is a secret,
[07:01] Oliver
    but the scorches that became the phantom
    escaped from the soot pipes.
[07:04] Oliver
    And the door to
    the soot pipes is very heavy.
[07:08] Oliver
    Unless there were two girls
    working together, like the twins,
[07:11] Oliver
    it would be difficult to open.
[07:15] Oliver
    Your balance is stupendous!
[07:15] Kate
    Shaun...
[07:17] Kate
    Master Robe is tall, correct?
[07:21] Shaun
    Yes.
[07:22] Shaun
    Based on its height,
    we can't be sure that it's a child.
[07:25] Shaun
    That's what Barbie said.
[07:27] Kate
    Really...
[07:28] Kate
    Say, Oliver.
[07:29] Kate
    Adults don't come
    to the children's wing, do they?
[07:32] Oliver
    That's correct, according to the rules.
[07:34] Oliver
    All management is entrusted
    to the Star Bearers.
[07:38] Kate; internal
    Master Robe appears secretly late at night.
[07:40] Kate; internal
    Is the reason it's avoiding attention...
[07:43] Kate; internal
    because it's an adult?
[07:45] Kate; internal
    And it's someone who is very familiar
    with the inside of the children's wing.
[07:49] Kate; internal
    Could Master Robe...
[07:51] Kate; internal
    be a former Star Bearer?
[07:53] Kate; internal
    Christopher?
[07:56] Kate
    Oliver! Christopher—
[07:58] Oliver
    Please stop! Not that!
[08:00] Oliver
    It will make everyone angry, truly.
[08:03] Oliver
    He was just too exceptional.
[08:05] Kate; internal
    Yes, that's most likely impossible.
[08:07] Oliver
    Christopher and Anthony are the only
    topics Oliver can't tell you about.
[08:11] Kate; internal
    Anthony?
[08:12] Oliver
    These things really are secret. Really.
[08:16] Kate; internal
    Who is that?
[08:18] Kate; internal
    Another former Star Bearer?
[08:21] Oliver
    Apologies.
[08:23] Oliver
    Oliver can answer any
    other questions, but...
[08:26] Kate
    Um, then...
[08:28] Kate
    Oliver, do you not have rooms
    in the Star Bearers' residential wing?
[08:32] Oliver
    Oliver does,
[08:33] Oliver
    but they're far from the lab,
    so he doesn't return to them often.
[08:35] Kate
    What? Then when do you bathe?
[08:37] Oliver
    A very good point!
[08:39] Oliver
    That's why Oliver had this idea!
[08:41] Oliver
    Deodorizing perfume!
[08:43] Kate
    But when do you bathe?
[08:45] Oliver
    However, even though it
    worked well for Oliver,
[08:47] Oliver
    in Benjamin's case,
     it resulted in a horrible stench.
[08:49] Oliver
    We discovered that it produces different
    results depending on who uses it!
[08:52] Kate
    Okay, but when do you bathe...?
[08:55] Shaun
    Mistress Kate,
[08:56] Shaun
    when I ran into Master Robe,
     I smelled perfume.
[09:00] Shaun
    It may have been using
     one of the perfumes from here.
[09:04] Kate
    That seems a reasonable possibility.
[09:07] Kate
    Could we smell your perfumes?
[09:09] Oliver
    Of course.
[09:10] Anna
    Lydia is the one who oversees them.
[09:17] Kate
    You have quite a few.
[09:20] Lydia
    At the moment, we are supplying
    the children's wing with ten varieties.
[09:23] Lydia
    Are you wanting to change your perfume?
[09:26] John
    What? Perfumes can be changed?
[09:29] Lydia
    After debuting, things
     like clothes, furniture,
[09:32] Lydia
    and even wallpaper can be
    changed, if you so desire.
[09:34] John
    Really?
[09:35] John
    Then perhaps John will take this perfume.
[09:38] Lydia
    You can't.
[09:38] Lydia
    The full amount is already reserved.
[09:40] John
    So now it can't be changed?!
[09:42] Lydia
    Those who contribute and those
    who are older are given priority, of course!
[09:45] Lydia
    Don't go thinking we'll pander
     to the whims of every brat who asks!
[09:49] Lydia
    And what do you mean, you'll just "take" it?
[09:51] Lydia
    Each person only gets one, you greedy brat!
[09:53] John
    John is sorry.
[09:55] Kate
    What do you think?
[09:56] Shaun
    I think these three are closest.
[10:00] Kate
    Is there a list of the shadows
     who use this one?
[10:06] Kate
    Thank you.
[10:08] Kate
    And are there any shadows who recently
    changed their perfume for a brief time?
[10:13] Lydia
    No, there aren't.
[10:15] Lydia
    Don't tell us you're trying
    to identify a particular individual.
[10:19] Kate
    What?
[10:19] Lydia
    Ha!
[10:21] Lydia
    That's clearly impossible!
[10:24] Lydia
    Once a perfume is on the skin,
[10:25] Lydia
    it's difficult for even a professional
    to discern which it is!
[10:28] Lydia
    As it is part of a noble's accoutrements,
[10:29] Lydia
    everyone is supplied with it from the start!
[10:32] Lydia
    And everyone has a specific personal odor
[10:34] Lydia
    which can change daily depending
    on their physical condition.
[10:36] Lydia
    Even a little time passing after application
[10:39] Lydia
    can make it smell like a completely
    different scent in some cases!
[10:41] Lydia
    The speed of evaporation changes depending
    on the essential oil and age of the wearer!
[10:45] Lydia
    And adults wear perfume
    from a different wing!
[10:49] Shaun
    There you have it, Mistress.
[10:51] Lydia
    Hmph!
[10:56] Olly
    Thank you for letting us
    examine so many things.
[11:00] Emilico
    It's so sweet!
[11:04] Kate
    It's already time for the evening meal.
[11:06] Kate
    And there is so much more
     Kate had hoped to ask.
[11:09] Oliver
    What? You're leaving already?
[11:11] Oliver
    Then...
[11:12] Oliver
    This is a secret, but...
[11:14] Oliver
    Oliver will give you a key.
[11:17] Oliver
    It's a key to the living doll's rooms.
[11:19] Oliver
    You can use it to come to this
     lab at any time, even at night.
[11:25] Oliver
    The super living doll
    is always most welcome!
[11:29] Olly
    Most welcome!
[11:30] Oliver; Olly
    Most welcome! Most welcome! Most welcome!
[11:33] Oliver; Olly
    Most welcome! Most welcome! Most welcome!
[11:37] Oliver
    Here.
[11:37] John
    Huh?
[11:38] John
    You're giving one to John and Shaun, too?
[11:40] Oliver
    Yes. You two...
[11:42] Oliver
    will fix the wall.
[11:50] John
    And here John was hoping they'd
     let the whole wall thing slide.
[11:53] Shaun
    They seem likely to use us for odd jobs.
[11:57] Kate; internal
    We obtained quite a lot of information.
[11:59] Kate; internal
    We even received a key.
[12:01] Kate; internal
    Kate would not have been able to
    take these actions alone.
[12:04] Kate; internal
    It was nerve-wracking,
[12:06] Kate; internal
    but John, this was all thanks to you.
[12:09] Kate; internal
    The two pairs who helped us
    during the incident with Edward...
[12:13] Kate; internal
    Louise.
[12:15] Kate; internal
    She lacks a spirit of cooperation,
[12:16] Kate; internal
    but she works hard to achieve her own goals.
[12:18] Kate; internal
    There's no malice to her.
[12:20] Kate; internal
    And there's no hidden side of her, either.
[12:23] Kate; internal
    Patrick.
[12:24] Kate; internal
    He's arrogant, but he's also
    possessed of a strong sense of duty.
[12:27] Kate; internal
    In the garden, he pulled out
    a pair of scissors and helped Kate.
[12:31] Kate; internal
    If nothing else,
[12:32] Kate; internal
    today's investigation showed
    that those recently come of age
[12:34] Kate; internal
    could not possibly have
    committed this crime.
[12:38] Emilico
    If we go through my room,
[12:40] Emilico
    we should be able to leave
    while avoiding the guards.
[12:42] Kate
    Yes.
[12:44] Kate; internal
    The next rejoicing party is in six days.
[12:47] Kate; internal
    Though we have so little time...
[12:49] Kate; internal
    we will solve the mystery
    of the phantom disturbance...
[12:52] Kate; internal
    and discover the identity of Master Robe.
[12:55] Kate; internal
    To make these things possible,
[12:57] Kate; internal
    we will once again hold a meeting of peers!
[13:04] Emilico
    Professor Oliver gave me this!
[13:06] Emilico
    A long-distance key extender stick!
[13:09] Emilico
    Set the key in the tip!
[13:20] Emilico
    Escape successful!
[13:22] Emilico
    I'm so sorry!
[13:24] Emilico
    I keep doing discourteous things.
[13:25] Kate
    It's all right.
[13:27] Kate
    For some reason, this feels fun.
[13:33] Emilico
    Will you really be all right alone?
[13:36] Kate
    Kate will be fine.
[13:37] Kate
    We'll attract attention
    if there are too many of us,
[13:39] Kate
    so it will just be us shadows.
[13:40] Kate
    That was what we promised.
[13:47] Kate; internal
    The scattered positions of the veiled dolls
    are the same as during the day.
[13:53] Kate; internal
    It's a good thing we made notes
    while we wandered around.
[13:57] Kate; internal
    There is a path which
    will avoid their notice.
[13:59] Kate; internal
    During the evening meal,
    I spoke to Louise...
[14:02] Kate; internal
    John spoke to Patrick...
[14:04] Kate; internal
    and we each made arrangements to meet.
[14:07] Kate; internal
    We are to assemble at midnight.
[14:17] John
    She's here!
[14:19] John
    Kate, look at this table!
[14:21] John
    It looks like it was put
    here just for us, doesn't it?
[14:24] John
    John has been thinking this
    for a while, Patrick.
[14:27] John
    You wanted to ask us all
    here again, didn't you?
[14:29] John
    You silly little...
[14:30] Patrick
    Stop blithering! Don't touch Patrick!
[14:32] John; background
    You're more adorable than one might imagine!
[14:32] Louise
    You're always so haughty.
[14:33] Patrick; background
    I-It isn't like that at all!
[14:33] Louise
    But in truth, you were just lonely?
[14:34] John; background
    Come now...
[14:35] Louise
    How amusing!
[14:39] Patrick
    All of you,
[14:40] Patrick
    don't get above yourselves just
    because you've had those special lessons.
[14:42] Patrick
    So, what is this?
[14:44] Patrick
    A midnight gathering of hooligans
    without their faces.
[14:46] Patrick
    Patrick will report you all
    to the Star Bearers, understand?
[14:50] Kate
    John, do you know what to do?
[14:52] John
    Of course!
[14:55] Kate
    What was that?
[14:57] John
    John won't say that this is Kate
    and himself trying to start a revolt.
[15:01] John
    We're simply using the resolution
    of the phantom incidents
[15:04] John
    to establish a bond of trust
    with our fellows.
[15:08] Patrick
    The phantom disturbance incidents
    haven't been resolved?
[15:11] Kate
    That is correct.
[15:12] Kate
    The real culprit lies elsewhere.
[15:14] Kate
    The twins are merely scapegoats.
[15:16] Kate
    For a brief time, Kate was
     almost blamed as the culprit.
[15:19] Kate
    Kate convinced the Star Bearers to forgive her
    if she caught the real mastermind.
[15:24] Kate
    But the Star Bearers won't wait for long.
[15:27] Kate
    Personally, Kate would like
    to produce results within a week.
[15:31] Kate
    To do that, she will need your help.
[15:34] Kate
    That's why she asked you to gather here.
[15:36] Patrick
    Hold on.
[15:37] Patrick
    The risk of drawing the Star Bearers'
     attention for this is too high.
[15:40] Patrick
    This isn't funny.
[15:42] Patrick
    Just because Patrick helped you once,
    don't assume that he will help again.
[15:45] John
    H-Hey!
[15:46] John
    Normally, anyone would grant
    Kate's requests, wouldn't they?
[15:48] Patrick
    That's just you!
[15:50] Patrick
    Why would Patrick want
    to keep causing problems?
[15:54] Kate
    But if we resolve this,
[15:56] Kate
    the Star Bearers will think
    more highly of all of us.
[15:58] Louise
    Say, Kate.
[16:00] Louise
    This conversation is incredibly boring.
[16:04] Louise
    Talk about something else.
    Something amusing.
[16:07] Kate
    Th-This isn't about being boring or amusing!
[16:10] Kate
    You've all noticed, haven't you?
[16:12] Kate
    There's a rule that someone
    must always be held responsible.
[16:15] Kate
    During our debut,
    Edward tried to make Kate fail.
[16:19] Kate
    Because he failed in that,
    and because of the kidnapping incident,
[16:22] Kate
    even now he still resents Kate
    and is making her his target!
[16:25] Kate
    Think about the moment
    when all of that could fall on you!
[16:28] Louise
    Louise doesn't like Edward,
    so she doesn't want to get involved.
[16:32] Patrick
    Just so.
[16:33] Patrick
    If one doesn't get involved
    in the first place, nothing will happen.
[16:36] John
    You're all just...
[16:39] Louise
    Kate, all you're talking about
    is what you want us to do for you.
[16:43] Louise
    It's incredibly egotistical of you!
[16:46] Louise
    You always do that
    when you speak to us, Kate.
[16:50] Kate; internal
    It isn't the re-indoctrination that's
    making this conversation break down...
[16:50] Louise
    Last time, too, you...
[16:56] Kate; internal
    It's me.
[17:00] Kate; internal
    Emilico isn't self-centered,
[17:03] Kate; internal
    and she's good at drawing people in.
[17:06] Kate; internal
    It's because she finds
    joy in being with others.
[17:09] Kate; internal
    That sincere innocence
    creates allies for her.
[17:13] Kate; internal
    Am I capable of finding a way
    for everyone to have fun?
[17:19] Kate
    This is it!
[17:22] John
    Kate's broken down under the
    weight of everyone's criticism!
[17:26] John
    Huh?
[17:27] John
    What?
[17:28] John
    No, wait...
[17:30] John
    Kneading John's soot like that...
    He's starting to feel embarrassed.
[17:33] Patrick
    What is wrong with you?
[17:36] Kate
    Look, it's a sootman!
[17:39] Kate
    Kate is sorry for only
    speaking of difficult things.
[17:42] Kate
    Since we're all here together,
    let's enjoy ourselves.
[17:46] Kate
    See?
[17:47] Kate
    You make these when
    you're bored, right?
[17:49] Kate
    What?
[17:50] Kate
    Is it only Kate?
[17:52] Louise
    Yes.
[17:53] Kate
    Um...
[17:54] Louise
    And yet, you don't seem very good at it.
[17:57] Kate
    No, usually they're a little rounder.
[18:00] Kate
    It turned out like this
    because John's soot is so stiff.
[18:02] John
    It's John's fault?!
[18:03] Louise
    What? Soot has different textures?
[18:05] Louise
    Maybe Louise will try making one, too!
[18:09] Patrick
    How inane.
[18:10] Patrick
    This is exactly why Patrick doesn't
    want to involve himself with all of you.
[18:12] John
    This is fun!
[18:14] Louise
    Oh, is this how it works?
[18:16] Kate
    When you use the base of
    your thumb, it spreads quite well.
[18:18] Kate
    Kate often does it that way.
[18:20] Louise
    Oh! You're right!
[18:22] John
    Louise, your soot feels
    incredibly pleasant to touch.
[18:25] Louise
    John, that's creepy.
[18:27] John
    You don't have speak so harshly.
[18:30] John
    It's finished!
[18:31] Patrick
    What is this? Some unsightly insect?
[18:33] John
    It's Kate!
[18:34] Louise
    Kate is a little cuter than that.
[18:37] Kate
    What?
[18:38] Patrick
    John...
[18:39] Patrick
    You have zero creative sense.
[18:41] John
    This from someone who hasn't even tried it?
[18:43] Patrick
    Idiot.
[18:44] Patrick
    Patrick is quite skilled with his hands.
[18:46] Patrick
    He will show you!
[18:51] Patrick
    It doesn't even hold together!
[18:53] Kate
    Perhaps the particles are too fine?
[18:55] Patrick
    Blast it!
[18:57] Patrick
    Someone please give Patrick some soot!
[18:58] Louise
    Why don't we mix it with Louise's?
[19:00] John
    We might as well mix everyone's!
[19:02] John
    Whoa!
[19:03] John
    Mixed together, they make a soot clay
    that's incredibly easy to work with!
[19:06] Louise
    Really?
[19:08] Patrick
    Behold! A skull!
[19:09] John
    It's really good, but why did you make that?
[19:12] Patrick
    Huh? It's stylish, don't you think?
[19:14] Louise
    A scorch!
[19:15] John; Patrick
    What?
[19:16] John
    Don't do that!
[19:18] John
    It's actually possible
    that it could start moving!
[19:20] Patrick
    Hey, now!
[19:22] Kate
    There's a way to make sure it won't move.
[19:25] Louise
    What?
[19:31] Louise
    Baking them into something
    like porcelain ornaments!
[19:41] Kate
    Being able to spend time
    with everyone like this...
[19:43] Kate
    It's been fun.
[19:45] Patrick
    Hey.
[19:47] Patrick
    You can come to Patrick's
    room again if you'd like.
[19:50] John
    It can't be...
[19:52] John
    Have you fallen in love with Kate?
[19:54] Patrick
    What? Of course Patrick...
[19:58] John
    Huh?
[19:59] John
    You were about to say,
    "Of course Patrick hasn't," then you stopped!
[20:01] John
    You can't be serious! That's just too...
[20:03] Patrick
    That isn't what we're
    discussing here, is it?
[20:05] Louise
    All of Louise's fellow
    debutants are such odd ducks.
[20:08] Louise
    To think that no one has
    fallen in love with her!
[20:10] John
    To put it simply, it's because
    you have a terrible personality!
[20:13] Louise
    Really?
[20:14] Louise
    But Kate's manner
    is so prim, don't you think?
[20:17] Louise
    And Louise has the better looks.
[20:18] Kate
    Prim?
[20:20] Kate
    Is that what's wrong with Kate?
[20:22] John
    It's the best part of her!
[20:25] Kate
    It's been bothering me since earlier...
[20:27] Kate
    But you sound a little
    like Lydia, don't you think?
[20:30] Patrick
    Hm?
[20:33] Patrick
    Kate made two things?
[20:37] John
    One for Shirley, huh?
[20:40] John
    John and Shirley's living doll...
[20:44] John
    During the debut...
[20:46] John
    It was only for a little while,
    but we worked together.
[20:50] John
    She was...
[20:51] John
    She was really amazing, you know?
[20:54] Patrick
    Yes.
[20:57] Kate
    All we are told about shadows
    who fail is that they are dealt with.
[21:01] Kate
    But if...
[21:02] Kate
    If we were ever able to see her again...
[21:07] Kate
    Kate will keep this safe for that day.
[21:11] Kate
    Let's do this again sometime!
[21:13] Kate
    Kate will return to her rooms for today.
[21:16] John
    Are you sure?
[21:17] Kate
    Yes.
[21:19] Kate; internal
    Patrick and Louise shouldn't be forced
    to get involved in the phantom business.
[21:23] Kate; internal
    Just growing closer like this is enough.
[21:27] Kate; internal
    And I've managed to discover
    a little something to look forward to.
[21:30] Patrick
    Wait.
[21:32] Patrick
    What should we accomplish
    before the next time we meet?
[21:37] Patrick
    Regarding the phantom mystery.
[21:40] Louise
    Kate is more fun than Louise thought,
[21:42] Louise
    so Louise will go along with it, too.
[21:45] Patrick
    Patrick's pride will not allow him
    to receive things without giving in turn.
[21:49] Patrick
    Patrick will assist you.
[21:52] Patrick
    And we will discover the true culprit!
[22:00] everyone
    We swear it on our bonds as peers!

[01:34] Shaun
    Master John and Mistress Kate
    must be at the meeting of peers by now.
[01:37] Shaun
    I wonder if they're all right.
[01:39] Shaun
    Master John, in particular.
[01:40] Emilico
    I'm sure they're fine!
[01:42] Emilico
    There are five days left
    until the rejoicing party.
[01:44] Emilico
    Let's work hard to fill in the map!
[01:47] Emilico
    This is a nighttime expedition!
[01:50] Emilico
    This seems to be a garret.
[01:53] Shaun
    There are quite a few places
    that aren't in use.
[01:56] Shaun
    I wonder how long this house has been here.
[01:59] Emilico
    If we go out here, I think
    we can get up on the roof.
[02:02] Shaun
    Emilico?
[02:04] Shaun
    You always go straight for the
    most dangerous places, don't you?
[02:16] Emilico
    Shaun...
[02:17] Emilico
    Do you ever want to go outside?
[02:20] Emilico
    Outside of Shadows House?
[02:23] Shaun
    What's wrong? You seem down.
[02:26] Emilico
    I feel sort of unsettled and depressed.
[02:29] Emilico
    I keep thinking about how I'm human
    and wondering what that means.
[02:36] Emilico
    What will change if my human
    memories return completely?
[02:41] Emilico
    I don't remember anything right now, so...
[02:45] Shaun
    I'm the same. And you're right.
[02:49] Shaun
    Outside, huh?
[02:51] Shaun
    If we came from the village,
[02:53] Shaun
    then if we did leave the house,
    would we be able to go back there?
[02:56] Shaun
    If we went back, would we be happy?
[03:04] Shaun
    Here at the house, we aren't
     given much time to sleep,
[03:07] Shaun
    and cleaning is an enormous task.
[03:08] Shaun
    Compared to the shadow masters',
    our meals are meager.
[03:11] Shaun
    But life in the village
    might be much the same.
[03:16] Emilico
    I wonder what we all
     used to do. Don't you?
[03:20] Emilico
    I think you and Ricky must
    have been born to wealthy families.
[03:23] Emilico
    You already knew how to
     read and write, after all.
[03:25] Shaun
    No, Ricky was...
[03:27] Shaun
    He was probably a nouveau
    riche type, don't you think?
[03:30] Shaun
    My family was a little more secure...
[03:34] Shaun
    Commissioned merchants, maybe?
[03:35] Emilico
    Oh! Commi-Shauned merchants!
[03:38] Shaun
    That sounds like something
    Master John would say.
[03:41] Emilico
    I'm good at needlework,
[03:43] Emilico
    so maybe my work had
    something to do with sewing.
[03:45] Emilico
    Oh, but I'm strong, so maybe I grew crops?
[03:50] Emilico
    Baking bread would be nice, too!
[03:52] Emilico
    Or birdwatching...
[03:54] Shaun
    Birdwatching for work?
[03:56] Emilico
    Oh, I just can't decide!
[03:58] Shaun
    It isn't as though you can choose.
[04:00] Emilico
    Lou seems like she'd be a gardener.
[04:02] Shaun
    You only think that because you saw
    her in the garden with scissors, right?
[04:06] Shaun
    I can't really imagine what Lou was like.
[04:08] Shaun
    She doesn't have enough
    personality of her own.
[04:10] Emilico
    She was probably
    the shopgirl everyone went to see!
[04:12] Shaun
    That's a haphazard way of thinking.
[04:15] Shaun
    Stay in Shadows House as a living doll...
[04:18] Shaun
    Or go outside as a human...
[04:20] Shaun
    Which will lead to happiness?
[04:22] Emilico
    Speaking of which, I wonder
    why we're called "living dolls."
[04:26] Emilico
    If they're bringing in children
    from the village,
[04:28] Emilico
    then they could simply say that the
     children are humans serving the house.
[04:31] Shaun
    If they did that, then the lack of
    memories would raise questions.
[04:36] Emilico
    Oh, that's true.
[04:37] Emilico
    And this way, no matter how we're treated,
    we think it's because we're dolls.
[04:44] Shaun
    It's to make us less aware of our own lives.
[04:48] Shaun
    Say...
[04:49] Shaun
    We were made to believe that we were
     created in the image of our shadow masters.
[04:53] Shaun
    But the opposite is true, isn't it?
[04:56] Emilico
    The shadow masters
    were created in imitation of us?
[04:59] Emilico
    But I don't think that's true.
[05:02] Emilico
    They eat and everything, after all.
[05:03] Emilico
    Even if they look like us,
[05:05] Emilico
    their voices and personalities
    are different, aren't they?
[05:07] Shaun
    I don't mean that they
    are objects which were made.
[05:09] Shaun
    The shadow masters are raised
    in imitation of the humans at their sides.
[05:13] Shaun
    And I'm certain that they
    are influenced by those humans, too.
[05:17] Shaun
    Master John once told me something...
[05:18] Shaun
    that there isn't much difference between
    how much he remembers and how much I do.
[05:22] Shaun
    He lived in his rooms
    for a while, then I came.
[05:26] Shaun
    Maybe interaction with humans is what
    brings their consciousnesses forward?
[05:30] Shaun
    If that's true,
[05:31] Shaun
    then we don't know if the shadow masters
    are the same age as we are.
[05:34] Emilico
    Interaction?
[05:36] Emilico
    The goodnight kiss is a rule set
    by Shadows House, too.
[05:39] Emilico
    Maybe it's necessary
    for them to become more human.
[05:43] Emilico
    Why Rum failed the debut was a mystery to me.
[05:47] Emilico
    When Rum had the will to do something,
[05:48] Emilico
    she had the strength to overcome anything.
[05:51] Shaun
    That's right.
[05:52] Shaun
    Mistress Shirley never said a single word.
[05:55] Shaun
    Maybe she couldn't speak because
    Rum was too timid for them to interact much?
[05:58] Emilico
    So she couldn't become more like a human?
[06:00] Shaun
    Shadow masters like her fail the debut,
    and then they are dealt with.
[06:05] Shaun
    With their masters dead,
    they're made to wear mourning clothes!
[06:08] Emilico
    What's this all of a sudden?
[06:11] Shaun
    The veiled dolls.
[06:13] Shaun
    The clothes they wear are mourning clothes.
[06:15] Shaun
    Living dolls who have lost the sources
    of their names and roles as faces...
[06:19] Shaun
    That could be what the clothes mean.
[06:20] Emilico
    Then Rum is somewhere
    among the veiled dolls!
[06:24] Emilico
    Let's go and unveil them all, one by one!
[06:27] Shaun
    We can't!
[06:27] Shaun
    Suspicious behavior like
    that would be reported immediately!
[06:31] Emilico
    But one day, we will make
    certain to rescue Rum.
[06:38] Shaun
    After talking this through,
    now I'm certain.
[06:41] Shaun
    My name...
[06:42] Shaun
    is John.
[06:43] Emilico
    What?
[06:44] Shaun
    Keep this a secret from Master John.
[06:46] Shaun
    When you consider the relationship
     between living dolls and shadows,
[06:50] Shaun
    doesn't it seem natural to give
    the human's name to the shadow?
[06:53] Emilico
    Then that means I was Kate?
[06:56] Emilico
    Oh, I can't remember.
[07:01] Emilico
    Why don't we try calling
    each other by those names?
[07:04] Shaun
    Kate.
[07:05] Emilico
    John!
[07:09] Shaun
    What are we doing?
[07:11] Emilico
    It doesn't feel right at all!
[07:13] Emilico
    Ricky was Patrick.
[07:14] Emilico
    Lou was Louise.
[07:16] Emilico
    Rum was Shirley.
[07:17] Emilico
    Not saying "master" or "mistress"
    makes me feel a little uneasy.
[07:20] Emilico
    I like Emilico, the name
    that Mistress Kate gave me.
[07:25] Shaun
    Mistress Kate...
[07:27] Shaun
    The fact that living dolls are humans...
[07:29] Shaun
    Where did she get that knowledge from?
[07:32] Shaun
    When you were brainwashed, Emilico,
[07:34] Shaun
    the effect didn't seem
    to extend to her at all.
[07:36] Shaun
    There are too many mysteries.
[07:38] Emilico
    There are a lot of things she hasn't told
    me yet, so as not to overwhelm me.
[07:42] Emilico
    I'd like for her to tell me,
[07:44] Emilico
    but I know that Mistress Kate
     has a lot to think about.
[07:47] Emilico
    I don't want to add
    to her burdens if I don't have to.
[07:49] Shaun
    Emilico, you and Master John
    really do love Mistress Kate.
[07:53] Shaun
    She does have a mysterious charm to her.
[07:56] Shaun
    It's not like I don't understand
     why you feel that way.
[08:06] Emilico
    This starry sky! I remember seeing it!
[08:08] Emilico
    But here at Shadows House,
    I've never seen it before!
[08:11] Emilico
    So, it's a memory from when I was human.
[08:14] Emilico
    Come on! Shaun, you should
    take a good look, too!
[08:17] Shaun
    I am looking. I remember it, too.
[08:20] Emilico
    Why did I feel so at a loss?
[08:22] Emilico
    The reason this sight moves me is
    because I'm a human, not a living doll.
[08:27] Emilico
    I never want to forget this feeling!
[08:29] Emilico
    If Ricky and Lou could
    see this starry sky, too,
[08:32] Emilico
    I just know they'd
    recall their old memories!
[08:36] Emilico
    And one day, so will Rum.
[08:39] John
    Yes.
[08:43] Emilico
    Next time, all five of us will be here!
[08:48] Emilico
    Now, we'll fill in the rest of this map!
[09:02] Master Robe
    You two really are entertaining.
[09:05] Emilico
    Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?
[09:09] Master Robe
    Don't worry.
[09:10] Master Robe
    I am not your enemy...
[09:13] Master Robe
    Though I am not your ally, either.
[09:15] Emilico
    Then, what are you?
[09:17] Shaun
    I don't have my glasses,
    so please don't get too far ahead of me.
[09:20] Emilico
    Shaun! It's...
[09:21] Emilico
    Over there!
[09:23] Shaun
    There's nothing there.
[09:32] Kate
    That happened?
[09:33] Emilico
    Yes, Mistress.
[09:34] Emilico
    It's not our enemy, but it isn't an ally.
[09:38] Emilico
    That's what it said.
[09:39] Kate; internal
    I don't understand. What could it be after?
[09:52] Emilico
    How strange.
[09:54] Emilico
    I thought I'd be able to
    sleep a little longer.
[09:58] Kate
    Ow!
[10:03] Eve
    All right, everyone!
    Hurry to the great hall!
[10:12] Mia
    What? The shadow masters?
[10:15] Barbie
    We will now begin our rejoicing party.
[10:20] crowd
    Hooray!
[10:22] Emilico
    No...
[10:23] Emilico
    We should still have four days left!
[10:29] Emilico
    Should I spit it into my
    clothes like last time?
[10:31] Emilico
    But...
[10:35] Shaun
    It's no good.
[10:36] Shaun
    The shadow masters are watching us.
[10:41] Emilico
    What do I do?
[10:43] Emilico
    I can't think straight.
[10:56] Barbie
    This time, the representative is...
[10:58] Barbie
    Mia!
[11:00] Mia
    To serve the Shadows family is
    the pride and joy of every living doll!
[11:07] Kate
    What did you just say?
[11:10] Emilico
    Rejoicing party!
[11:12] Emilico
    And Star Bearer shadow
    masters were there, too!
[11:15] Emilico
    Mia was the representative today!
[11:17] Emilico
    I drank the coffee!
[11:20] Emilico
    It was incredibly bitter!
[11:21] Emilico
    But I am now filled with enthusiasm!
[11:24] Emilico
    I am going to clean!
[11:25] Emilico
    All so that I can be of use
    to you, Mistress Kate!
[11:29] Kate
    S-Sit down!
[11:31] Kate
    You have to spit up that coffee.
[11:33] Kate
    I'll bring some water.
[11:35] Emilico
    There's no need!
[11:36] Emilico
    I must begin cleaning at once!
[11:37] Kate
    Do as you're told!
[11:39] Emilico
    I will clean!
[11:43] Kate; internal
    I can't subdue her with brute force.
[11:46] Emilico
    Rolly!
[11:48] Emilico
    Rolly! Rolly!
[11:52] Emilico
    Soot rope! Soot powers!
[11:54] Kate
    Now...
[11:55] Kate
    Drink the water and spit it up.
[12:00] Emilico
    I spit up the water!
[12:04] Kate; internal
    This is no good.
[12:07] Kate; internal
    No, wait.
[12:09] Kate; internal
    Something is strange.
[12:10] Kate; internal
    Think this over logically.
[12:15] Emilico
    I've made a mess!
[12:17] Emilico
    I must clean!
[12:17] Kate
    Honestly, just be quiet!
[12:19] Emilico
    Oh, it's dark! Is it night already?
[12:22] Emilico
    Night? Time to sleep?
[12:24] Kate; internal
    Just now, when Emilico
    said the coffee was bitter,
[12:26] Kate; internal
    her expression said she didn't like it.
[12:29] Kate; internal
    At the debut, once the
    brainwashing came into effect,
[12:32] Kate; internal
    she thought it was delicious.
[12:34] Kate; internal
    And she won't do what I,
    a shadow, tell her to do.
[12:39] Kate; internal
    Before, she was overly obedient.
[12:41] Kate; internal
    Does she possess her own will this time?
[12:44] Kate; internal
    Was it different from the usual coffee?
[12:49] Kate; internal
    Now, she's really fallen asleep.
[12:51] Kate; internal
    It's amazing she can sleep in that state.
[12:56] Kate; internal
    The brainwashing coffee served
    at the debut and rejoicing parties...
[13:00] Kate; internal
    I'm certain it must be made
    in Lord Grandfather's wing.
[13:03] Kate; internal
    When the coffee carafes broke,
    the Star Bearers were greatly shaken.
[13:07] Kate; internal
    That's what Emilico said.
[13:09] Kate; internal
    In which case, I can't imagine they'd be
    able to immediately procure more.
[13:13] Kate; internal
    What Emilico and the others drank
    this time was most likely ordinary coffee.
[13:18] Kate; internal
    In short, by holding a rejoicing party...
[13:20] Kate; internal
    the living dolls were given
    psychological peace of mind.
[13:24] Kate; internal
    It was just a clever scheme
    the Star Bearers devised.
[13:26] Kate; internal
    Did they mix something that can
    manipulate minds into the coffee?
[13:30] Kate; internal
    No, that's not it.
[13:32] Kate; internal
    There were shadows
    at the rejoicing party...
[13:35] Kate; internal
    Does that mean that every living doll there
    was being controlled with soot mind powers?
[13:40] Kate; internal
    The power probably has
    the effect of heightening emotions.
[13:44] Kate; internal
    Emilico and Shaun haven't been brainwashed.
[13:47] Kate; internal
    Their emotions have
    simply been stirred up.
[13:50] Kate; internal
    Still, it will have an effect on those
    who are already loyal to the house.
[13:55] Kate; internal
    Someone with enough soot
    to manipulate everyone's emotions...
[13:59] Kate; internal
    If it's true that Barbara
    can't control soot,
[14:03] Kate; internal
    then the only one who possesses
    that power is Benjamin.
[14:06] Kate; internal
    Powers that act on emotions must certainly
    have an effect outside the designated range.
[14:13] Kate; internal
    She's sleeping
    in an incredibly odd position!
[14:19] Kate
    If I let her sleep for a time,
    I'm certain the effects will abate.
[14:26] Kate
    Then, today we're working separately.
[14:28] John
    Right! See you later!
[14:30] Shaun
    I did think that the coffee seemed
    somehow different than usual.
[14:34] Shaun
    But trust Mistress Kate
    to have figured it out.
[14:36] John
    John thought we'd have to
    exchange blows again.
[14:40] John
    Still, the Star Bearers
    really got us, didn't they?
[14:43] John
    To think they'd try something so soon.
[14:45] Shaun
    But the fact that the Star Bearers are
    thinking about ways to tide us over
[14:49] Shaun
    means that they're in a situation where
     they can't ask the adults for more coffee.
[14:55] Shaun
    And, even with this great a disturbance,
[14:58] Shaun
    not a single adult has appeared.
[15:00] John
    Do you think news of Master Robe
[15:01] John
    or the phantom disturbance
    has reached the adults?
[15:04] Shaun
    I don't think so.
[15:06] Shaun
    If it had, it would be unnatural
    for them to show no reaction at all.
[15:11] Shaun
    As we thought,
    the house is split in two,
[15:15] Shaun
    even down to the flow of information.
[15:16] John
    And that is why it has proven so difficult
[15:19] John
    to obtain information
    on Lord Grandfather's wing.
[15:21] Shaun
    But it also makes it easier
[15:23] Shaun
    to hide information
     about the children's wing.
[15:27] John
    Right, then!
[15:28] John
    To live up to Kate's expectations,
    John and Shaun will do everything they can!
[15:31] Shaun
    Yes, Master!
[15:33] (Flashback) Kate
    John, keep our secrets
    and act at your discretion.
[15:36] John; internal
    Acting at John's own discretion!
[15:37] John; internal
    It's a sign of her trust in him!
[15:40] John; internal
    To begin with, John can use fixing the wall
[15:42] John; internal
    as a pretext to interact
    with the research team...
[15:44] John; internal
    and obtain incredible
    amounts of information!
[15:46] John; internal
    Then, Kate will be overjoyed!
[15:55] John
    But all we've ended up
     doing is fixing the wall!
[15:58] John; internal
    John never imagined that
    they'd be the only ones here.
[16:01] John; internal
    And they're just silently
    watching John work.
[16:04] John; quietly
    John has never spoken to them before.
[16:06] John; quietly
    It will be a little awkward, won't it?
[16:08] Shaun; quietly
    They're older than you, too.
[16:10] Shaun; quietly
    They are Master Jeremiah and Jeremy.
[16:12] John; quietly
    For today, let's just do some work
    on the wall and head back quickly.
[16:16] John; internal
    What? They're coming this way?!
[16:19] Shaun
    That's a spirit level, isn't it?
[16:21] Shaun
    When the air bubble is in
    the center of the glass pipe,
[16:23] Shaun
    it means the surface is level.
[16:25] Jeremiah
    Disgraceful.
[16:26] John
    What does it matter
    if it's just a little off?
[16:29] Jeremy
    Master Jeremiah said,
    "Being off-level is disgraceful."
[16:33] John
    John is aware!
[16:34] John
    Thank you for your kind clarification.
[16:37] John
    Well, he's a difficult one to figure out.
[16:38] John
    Hold on.
[16:40] John
    Doesn't he seem suspicious?
[16:42] John; internal
    He sleeps during the day.
[16:43] John; internal
    That means he's active at night.
[16:45] John; internal
    That means he's Master Robe!
[16:47] John; internal
    A disagreeable person who finds fault
    with others is likely to do bad things!
[16:51] John; internal
    Like the culprit behind
    the phantom disturbance!
[16:52] John; internal
    He must be Master Robe!
[16:56] John
    Hey, Jeremiah!
[16:58] John
    What is that cloth for?
[17:00] John
    What are you quietly hiding here?
[17:03] Shaun
    Those are...
[17:04] John
    John knew it! You are...
[17:06] John
    the culprit behind the phantom disturbance!
[17:10] Jeremiah
    And?
[17:10] Jeremy
    "And if Jeremiah is the culprit,
    what do you intend to do?" he asks.
[17:15] John
    Defeat him!
[17:20] Jeremiah
    Unsightly.
[17:22] Jeremy; fast
    "You will not be given time
    to use your soot powers."
[17:25] Jeremy; fast
    "Jeremiah is proficient
    in his soot power, Spider Legs."
[17:28] Jeremy; fast
    "You will not be able to counter it."
[17:29] Jeremy; fast
    "You will end up in an unsightly,
    groveling heap on the ground."
[17:32] Jeremy
    That is what he said.
[17:33] John
    Blast it!
[17:34] John
    His slight contained all of that meaning?
[17:36] Shaun
    Master John, I'm sorry.
[17:38] Shaun
    I let down my guard.
[17:39] John
    You too, Shaun?!
[17:44] Jeremiah
    Don't think that you'll
    simply be allowed to leave.
[17:46] John
    Stop! Don't you dare touch Shaun!
[17:57] John
    What was that? A prank?
[18:00] Jeremy; a little fast
    "John, as you have a high
    soot volume, and you're here,"
[18:02] Jeremy; a little fast
    "we can't simply allow you to leave."
[18:04] Jeremy; a little fast
    "Please let us have some of your soot."
[18:05] Jeremy
    That's what he said.
[18:07] John
    Your translation is a little late!
[18:09] Jeremy
    Master Jeremiah is tasked
    with researching energy.
[18:13] Jeremy
    Currently, he is focused on scorches.
[18:16] John
    This sounds like a difficult topic.
[18:19] Shaun; quietly
    This is valuable information.
    It might be best to listen.
[18:23] John; quietly
    Really?
[18:24] John
    Well, since John gave you some soot,
[18:27] John
    tell him the details of your research.
[18:29] Jeremiah
    Very well.
[18:31] Jeremy
    "Very well," is what he said.
[18:33] John
    There's no need to
    interpret simple sentences!
[18:36] John
    Why do you make Jeremy
    speak for you, anyway?
[18:38] Jeremiah
    Less effort.
[18:38] John
    So he's just lazy!
[18:40] Jeremy
    This is our data.
[18:44] Jeremy
    Let's explain through drawings.
[18:46] Jeremy
    First, the soot emitted
    by shadows due to negative emotions...
[18:50] Jeremy
    It drifts lightly upwards, doesn't it?
[18:52] Jeremy
    After it accumulates enough mass,
    it falls to the floor.
[18:55] Jeremy
    And after an average of two days,
    the piled-up soot transforms into a scorch.
[19:00] Jeremy
    It bears no connection to a shadow's will,
    and moves solely through malice.
[19:04] Jeremy
    It is not a life-form.
[19:06] Jeremy
    Scorches, in general,
    grow to about this size.
[19:10] Jeremy
    Even scorches of the same size,
     however, differ in energy quantities.
[19:13] Jeremy
    It's to do with density.
[19:15] Jeremy
    If it's full of openings inside, it's weak.
[19:17] Jeremy
    If it's tightly packed, it's powerful.
[19:19] Jeremy
    When a scorch first develops,
     its density is 1.
[19:21] Jeremy
    If two scorches fuse together, they remain
    the same size and reach density 2.
[19:25] Jeremy
    It's simple addition.
[19:27] John
    So, when scorches meet,
    do they always combine?
[19:31] Jeremy
    If they are both density 1, then yes.
[19:34] Jeremy
    They can combine the soot
    of many different shadows,
[19:36] Jeremy
    so there are individual differences.
[19:38] Shaun
    If left alone, they'll all
    end up at high density.
[19:42] Shaun
    That would be problematic.
[19:44] John
    Cleaning regularly is very important!
[19:48] Jeremy
    Regarding the recent phantom disturbance...
[19:50] Jeremy
    Before transforming into a phantom,
[19:53] Jeremy
    the scorches seemed to be density level 3.
[19:56] Jeremy
    Here, we will refute your assertion
    that we are the culprits.
[20:01] Jeremy
    We attempted to create a phantom
    in our experiments, but we couldn't.
[20:06] Jeremy
    No matter how high we raised
    the density of the scorches,
[20:09] Jeremy
    they never grew to a larger size,
    like a phantom.
[20:12] Shaun
    Could it be that phantoms
    are made with soot powers?
[20:15] Jeremy
    Right now, that seems highly probable.
[20:18] John
    Scorches get inside living dolls
    and make them go berserk, right?
[20:23] John
    Why do they do that?
[20:24] Jeremiah
    Soot sickness.
[20:25] Jeremy
    We know that in the stomach, they act
     as parasites to control the host,
[20:29] Jeremy
    but further details fall under
    the purview of the first-aid team.
[20:33] Jeremy
    However, it is possible...
[20:35] Jeremy
    that they desire a face.
[20:40] Jeremiah
    Now for the main event.
[20:42] Jeremy
    Allow us to show you.
[20:44] Jeremy
    This is Master Jeremiah's invention.
[20:47] Jeremy
    A new form of energy, scorch power!
[20:51] John
    Wow!
[20:52] Jeremy
    Motive power can be obtained
    from the wheel through this device,
[20:55] Jeremy
    which we then tried utilizing
    for soot grinding.
[20:57] John
    What is this picture frame for?
[20:59] Jeremy
    To exploit the scorches'
    tendency to move toward faces.
[21:02] Jeremy
    And to ensure it is recognized as a face,
[21:04] Jeremy
    we used Nancy without her glasses.
[21:06] John
    Poor Nancy!
[21:08] John
    But this idea is incredible!
[21:11] Jeremy
    Master Oliver praised us highly as well.
[21:13] Jeremy
    He said that it could replace soot coal and
    become the house's energy source in the future!
[21:18] John
    Wow.
[21:19] John
    The whole house, huh?
[21:21] John; internal
    Now that John thinks about it, Barbara seemed
    to be suffering as she emitted soot.
[21:25] John; internal
    If this is more efficient than soot coal,
[21:27] John; internal
    maybe she wouldn't need
    to emit as much soot?
[21:31] John; internal
    Oliver is being so considerate of Barbara.
[21:33] John; internal
    That means that Oliver
    is in love with Barbara!
[21:35] John; internal
    He won't cling to Kate!
[21:38] John; internal
    Right!
[21:38] John; internal
    Oliver and Jeremiah are no longer suspects!
[21:42] John; internal
    And this information about scorches
    will probably make Kate happy.
[21:45] John; internal
    Later, John will have Shaun
    summarize everything they said.
[21:48] Oliver
    So this is where you were.
[21:50] John
    Oliver!
[21:52] Oliver
    John, you are to come
    to the Star Bearers' meeting room.
[22:01] John; internal
    Did John do something
    worthy of praise recently?

    Kate will return to her rooms for today.
[00:07] John
    Are you sure?
[00:09] Kate
    Yes.
[00:10] Kate; internal
    Patrick and Louise shouldn't be forced
    to get involved in the phantom business.
[00:15] Kate; internal
    Just growing closer like this is enough.
[00:18] Kate; internal

[02:26] Louise
    Lou, please clean twice as quickly today!
[02:31] Louise
    We're going out as soon as you finish!
[02:33] Louise
    Kate has asked us to do something for her!
[02:36] Lou
    Mistress Kate?
[02:38] Louise
    Don't just stand there.
[02:40] Louise
    If you're done,
    ready everything for going out!
[02:44] Louise
    Louise found Kate boring because
     she was always asking for favors,
[02:48] Louise
    but our gathering
    was unexpectedly entertaining!
[02:51] Lou
    And that is why we're asking around?
[02:53] Louise
    Exactly!
[02:54] Louise
    If we're assessed highly,
    we might receive an invitation!
[02:59] Louise
    You there!
[03:01] Louise
    You've come from
    the training room, yes?
[03:03] Louise
    What sort of powers do you have?
[03:05] James
    Huh? And who are you?
[03:08] James
    Do you think James would
     actually tell you that?
[03:09] Louise
    Oh, don't say that.
[03:12] Louise
    There are all sorts of things
    we'd like you to tell us.
[03:16] Louise
    Louise is just a child, so she doesn't know.
[03:20] James
    W-Well then, James supposes he has no choice.
[03:23] Louise
    Louise placed first in her debut!
[03:26] Louise
    May she ask a few questions?
[03:29] Louise
    If you treat her so cruelly,
    Louise is going to cry!
[03:34] Louise
    Won't you teach Louise
    how you do your makeup?
[03:37] Louise
    And while you're at it...
[03:54] Louise
    Lou! Have you written everything out?
[03:57] Louise
    We gathered quite a lot of information
    on soot powers, don't you think?
[04:01] Louise
    Kate's request was so simple to fulfill!
[04:06] Louise
    Since Louise is so exceptional,
[04:07] Louise
    do you think she'll soon
    receive an invitation?
[04:09] Louise
    She is so looking forward to
    becoming an adult!
[04:11] Louise
    Louise is certain that she'll
    have lots of lovely clothes.
[04:14] Louise
    After all, Edward was just a living doll,
    and he was dressed very well.
[04:18] Louise
    And Louise will eat foods
    that are good for her beauty!
[04:22] Louise
    Oh, Louise wants her invitation
    to hurry up and come!
[04:25] Louise
    Do you think maybe it
     has already been sent?
[04:28] Louise
    Maryrose might know!
[04:30] Louise
    Let's go, Lou!
[04:35] Louise
    What's wrong?
[04:38] Lou
    It's nothing.
[04:40] Louise
    Are you all right?
[04:41] Louise
    You didn't injure your face?
[04:43] Lou
    No. I will be careful.
[04:53] Maryrose
    Well, this is a surprise.
[04:54] Maryrose
    To think you'd visit the rooms of
    a shadow in the absence of her face.
[04:58] Louise
    Is it strange?
[04:59] Louise
    Louise is simply curious about something.
[05:02] Maryrose
    Clearly, Maryrose
    is no match for you, Louise.
[05:04] Maryrose
    Maryrose's rooms are dirty.
[05:06] Maryrose
    Do you mind speaking here?
[05:07] Louise
    Then Louise will just ask:
    when one receives an invitation,
[05:10] Louise
    one then goes to live in
    Lord Grandfather's wing, correct?
[05:13] Maryrose
    That's right.
[05:14] Louise
    When faceless shadows successfully debut,
[05:17] Louise
    they become children
    with faces who have come of age!
[05:20] Louise
    And then, when they receive an invitation,
    they become adults!
[05:23] Maryrose
    Just as you say.
[05:25] Maryrose
    What is it you wish to ask about?
[05:27] Louise
    Has Louise been sent an invitation?
[05:30] Maryrose
    Only you would know the answer to that.
[05:33] Maryrose
    And it's something you're informed
    of unexpectedly the day before.
[05:37] Louise
    What does one do after being invited?
[05:39] Louise
    Is it a test, like the debut?
[05:41] Maryrose
    Maryrose doesn't know that, either.
[05:43] Maryrose
    And the particulars of the debut change
     according to the examiner's tastes.
[05:49] Louise; internal
    Edward has horrifying tastes!
[05:52] Louise
    Who was the last person
    to receive an invitation?
[05:55] Maryrose
    You wouldn't be acquainted
    with them, Louise.
[05:58] Maryrose
    Those shadows who have gone
    to Lord Grandfather's wing
[06:02] Maryrose
    must not be spoken of. It's the rule.
[06:04] Maryrose
    And those who have become
    adults never return here, anyway.
[06:08] Louise
    So, you don't know anything, then?
[06:11] Maryrose
    That's what being a child means.
[06:12] Maryrose
    And that's why everyone strives
    to become an adult.
[06:16] Maryrose
    If you wish to know more,
[06:17] Maryrose
    then you have no choice
    but to ask the Star Bearers.
[06:19] Louise
    The Star Bearers? What a good idea!
[06:22] Louise
    Then, Louise will be going now!
[06:25] Maryrose
    Well, she's quite the whirlwind.
[06:29] Maryrose
    Louise!
[06:32] Maryrose
    Faces should be treated with great care.
[06:41] Louise
    What was Maryrose talking about?
[06:44] Louise
    Louise does treat her face with care!
[06:47] Louise
    Right?
[06:49] Lou
    Yes, Mistress.
[07:17] Louise
    Oh! This place reeks of sweat!
[07:21] Louise; internal
    Oh, that's Benjamin, the person
    who threatened Maryrose!
[07:28] Benjamin
    What do you want?
[07:31] Benjamin
    If you've gone to the trouble of coming
    to the Star Bearers' residential wing, then...
[07:36] Louise; internal
    Hm?
[07:36] Louise; internal
    Perhaps he isn't so frightening?
[07:38] Louise; internal
    Louise simply needs to avoid
    mentioning Christopher, right?
[07:42] Louise
    The door wasn't locked.
[07:44] Louise
    Is there a rule saying
    that others shouldn't enter?
[07:46] Benjamin
    There is no such rule.
[07:50] Benjamin
    But as for you and John both,
[07:53] Benjamin
    you should stay out of Star Bearer business.
[07:56] Louise
    Say, what is that contraption?
     It's so strange!
[08:03] Benjamin
    It's an elbow-flexion-type
    upper-arm-load amplification machine.
[08:09] Benjamin
    One of Oliver's inventions.
[08:10] Louise
    Really?
[08:12] Louise
    Say, Louise wants to ask you something!
[08:15] Louise
    Has she been sent an invitation?
[08:18] Benjamin
    No idea.
[08:19] Louise
    Truly?
[08:21] Louise
    You're a Star Bearer,
    and even you don't know?
[08:23] Louise
    Wait. Do Star Bearers
    not receive invitations?
[08:29] Benjamin
    Don't fret over trivial matters.
[08:31] Louise
    Being an adult must be fun, don't you think?
[08:34] Louise
    Louise feels that a child's lifestyle
    is far too restrictive.
[08:39] Louise
    Say, do you train yourselves like
    that in order to intimidate everyone?
[08:44] Benjamin
    If one is not strong,
    one cannot protect anything.
[08:48] Louise
    Protect?
[08:50] Louise
    Being a Star Bearer seems
    like a lot of bother.
[08:53] Louise
    One can receive an invitation even
    without becoming a Star Bearer, right?
[08:57] Benjamin
    Yes, that's right.
[08:59] Louise
    In that case, Louise will not aim
    to become a Star Bearer!
[09:04] Benjamin
    That would be best.
[09:07] Louise
    Barbara, for example,
    seems to have to deal with quite a lot.
[09:13] Louise
    Oh, there's a mirror here!
[09:15] Louise
    Louise makes all sorts of expressions
    in front of the mirror, you see.
[09:19] Louise
    To practice appearing beautiful!
[09:23] Benjamin
    Possessing the desire
    to improve oneself is good.
[09:26] Benjamin
    But your face appears pale.
[09:30] Louise
    Really? We must fix her makeup at once!
[09:33] Benjamin
    That alone will not solve
    the fundamental issue.
[09:37] Benjamin
    Training is good for the body.
[09:40] Benjamin
    It improves the metabolism.
[09:43] Louise
    Does it? Then perhaps Louise will try it!
[09:59] Benjamin
    You aren't doing it?
[10:01] Louise
    What? But we are. Lou is doing it.
[10:04] Benjamin
    Even if your face trains, you won't change.
[10:10] Benjamin
    It seems you think that your living doll
    is no more than your face.
[10:15] Benjamin
    Louise, try doing it alongside her.
[10:18] Louise
    What?
[10:24] Louise
    Oh, this is impossible! Louise is exhausted!
[10:28] Benjamin
    Your face grows tired
    in exactly the same way.
[10:32] Benjamin
    Recognize her for the efforts
    of her body, not just as a face.
[10:36] Benjamin
    Do not err in the use of your tools.
[10:38] Louise
    What? But she's a living doll.
[10:42] Louise
    Louise will return to her rooms now.
[10:45] Benjamin
    Do that.
[10:47] Louise
    This was sort of fun! Thank you!
[10:56] Benjamin
    "Thank you," huh?
[11:01] Louise
    We didn't gain much information
    from Benjamin, did we?
[11:05] Louise
    What a failure.
[11:09] Louise
    Say, Lou... Are you tired?
[11:14] Lou
    I'm all right.
[11:16] Lou
    No...
[11:18] Lou
    I am a little tired.
[11:21] Louise
    What?! You've been lying?
[11:24] Louise
    If you don't say anything,
    how is anyone expected to know?
[11:28] Louise
    In that case, let's rest for today.
[11:42] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is forever worrying over things.
[11:45] Patrick; internal
    What should he say?
[11:47] Patrick; internal
    What should he do?
[11:50] Patrick
    Ricky, Patrick needs some advice.
[11:54] Ricky
    Please ask me anything.
[11:56] Patrick; internal
    In such moments, Ricky always
    provides a clear answer.
[12:04] Ricky
    Holding another midnight
    meeting of peers...
[12:07] Ricky
    That's quite bold.
[12:09] Ricky
    Well, now...
[12:13] Ricky
    We should agree to that proposal.
[12:15] Ricky
    Resolving the matter and rising in the
     Star Bearers' estimations is quite desirable.
[12:19] Ricky
    Even if the endeavor fails,
    the blame will lie with Mistress Kate,
[12:22] Ricky
    so there are no demerits
    for us in the matter.
[12:25] Patrick
    That's true.
[12:26] Ricky
    In order to examine the relationships
    between peers within the house,
[12:29] Ricky
    first, it might be best to speak
    with our team leader, Master William.
[12:34] Patrick; internal
    Ricky is truly exceptional.
[12:38] William
    Yes.
[12:39] William
    William and Henry are peers.
[12:42] William
    If memory serves, Rebecca and
     Cynthia debuted with us as well.
[12:46] Henry
    Randall has no peers left, right?
[12:48] Patrick
    W-Wait a moment, please.
[12:50] Patrick
    Patrick hasn't grasped everyone's names yet.
[12:54] Patrick
    But it seems one does
    tend to lose one's peers.
[12:58] Henry
    Those who cannot adapt to the
    circumstances do not survive.
[13:01] William
    The trick is not to stand out.
[13:04] Henry
    That, and not to disobey.
[13:07] Patrick
    Indeed...
[13:09] William
    Of those that Patrick knows, let's see...
[13:12] William
    It would be Barbara and Maryrose.
[13:14] Patrick
    What?!
[13:16] Patrick
    Those two debuted together?
[13:19] William
    In the children's wing,
    those two have been here the longest.
[13:24] Patrick
    What does Maryrose think about,
    alone in her rooms?
[13:28] Henry
    It would be good if her face could be mended.
[13:31] William
    Having someone older than you here in
    the children's wing is reassuring, isn't it?
[13:35] William
    It makes William feel it's all right
    that we haven't received an invitation yet.
[13:40] Ricky; internal
    These people will never achieve greatness.
[13:44] William
    In order, the others who have
     been here the longest are...
[13:46] William
    The Star Bearer Susanna,
    of the first-aid team...
[13:49] Henry
    And Gilbert.
[13:50] William
    That's right!
[13:51] Henry
    The research team has
    quite a few in one place...
[13:54] Henry
    Oliver, Lydia, Jeremiah.
[13:57] William
    Then there are Douglas and Sarah,
    who debuted together.
[14:01] William
    Huh? Is that John?
[14:03] William
    He seems a bit downcast.
[14:07] Patrick
    The Star Bearers scolded you?
[14:09] John
    About John and Kate.
[14:12] Patrick; quietly
    What are you doing?
[14:14] Patrick; quietly
    Have you gone and made a mess of our plans?
[14:16] John
    No.
[14:24] John
    They said that as John hasn't
    even petitioned for marriage yet,
[14:27] John
    he shouldn't make such a fuss.
[14:29] John
    And their expressions
    were so scary when they said it!
[14:32] (Flashback) Barbara
    As punishment, John and his living doll
    are ordered to clean this room.
[14:39] Henry
    What?
[14:39] Henry
    Do people get called before
    the Star Bearers for that sort of thing?
[14:42] William
    John, they have their eye on you
    for some reason, don't they?
[14:46] William
    That is a problem.
[14:47] William
    Don't cause trouble for our team.
[14:50] John
    But none of it makes any sense!
[14:52] John
    Not documents for marriage,
    or petitions, or anything else!
[14:55] William
    You must understand the gist of it, though.
[14:57] Henry
    Go look it up in the library.
[15:00] Patrick
    Is marriage something one must petition for?
[15:02] William
    Oh! Patrick, are you interested, too?
[15:05] Patrick
    No, not really.
[15:06] Henry
    In that case, you'd like to hear our
     ranking of recommended girls, right?
[15:11] Patrick
    Um, perhaps another time.
[15:13] Henry
    In first place is Evelyn!
[15:27] Patrick
    Regarding marriage...
[15:34] Sarah
    Quite studious, aren't you?
[15:36] Sarah
    Patrick, wasn't it?
[15:38] Sarah
    Or could it be that you've
    fallen in love with someone?
[15:41] Patrick
    No, it's...
[15:43] Sarah
    But it's not good to rush things.
[15:46] Patrick
    Huh?
[15:47] Sarah
    Did you know that one cannot marry
    unless one is an adult?
[15:51] Sarah
    While one is a child,
    all one can do is petition.
[15:55] Sarah
    Do you think it to be a meaningless system?
[15:58] Sarah
    The most important element of this system...
[16:01] Sarah
    is the determination
    to become an adult, no matter what.
[16:05] Patrick
    There are some who are dealt with
    before ever becoming adults.
[16:09] Sarah
    That's right.
[16:10] Sarah
    If after petitioning for marriage,
    one of the pair ends up being dealt with,
[16:15] Sarah
    they become the subject of derision.
[16:18] Sarah
    You must choose carefully.
[16:20] Sarah
    Find a partner who will
    not be dispensed with.
[16:22] Patrick
    After saying all of that, Sarah,
    do you have a partner in mind?
[16:26] Sarah
    But of course.
[16:27] Sarah
    Sarah has absolute confidence, you see.
[16:30] Sarah
    And you, Patrick... Your face is lovely,
    overflowing with confidence.
[16:36] Sarah
    How pleasing.
[16:38] Sarah
    Sarah wouldn't mind allowing
    you to join her allies.
[16:41] Patrick
    When you say that you find
    Patrick's face pleasing...
[16:45] Patrick
    Do you mean that you've taken a liking
    to Ricky, Patrick's living doll?
[16:48] Sarah
    What?
[16:50] Sarah
    Patrick, complimenting your face
    is the same as complimenting you, isn't it?
[16:55] Sarah
    Stop thinking of yourself
    and your living doll as separate.
[16:59] Sarah
    Grow up.
[17:03] Patrick
    Do living dolls not experience
    romantic love, Ricky?
[17:09] Ricky
    Of course not.
[17:12] Ricky
    You seem a little fatigued.
[17:14] Ricky
    Lately, you've grown fond
    of flowers, haven't you?
[17:17] Ricky
    Let's take a rest in the conservatory.
[17:29] Patrick
    These flowers are particularly fragrant.
[17:34] Margaret
    M-Margaret grew... those peonies.
[17:40] Patrick
    Really? That's amazing.
[17:43] Patrick
    What a worthwhile pastime.
[17:44] Patrick
    Oh, begging your pardon.
    Patrick is pleased to meet you.
[17:48] Patrick
    Margaret...
[17:50] Patrick
    Your team is led by Isabelle
    and Mirabelle, isn't it?
[17:53] Patrick
    You must be worried.
[17:54] Margaret
    What?
[17:55] Margaret
    Yes, worried...
[17:59] Margaret
    What will we do if they return?
[18:02] Margaret
    Since they've been sent
    to the soot pipes and everything...
[18:06] Margaret
    Margaret hopes they will just disappear.
[18:09] Margaret
    Because those twins' hearts
    are twisted and ugly.
[18:15] Margaret
    Um, do you like flowers?
[18:19] Margaret
    You come here often, don't you?
[18:21] Patrick
    Huh?
[18:22] Patrick
    Yes.
[18:23] Patrick
    Patrick does have an interest,
    but he isn't very knowledgeable yet.
[18:27] Margaret
    Children who love flowers...
[18:29] Margaret
    have beautiful hearts, you see.
[18:33] Margaret
    This section is available for use
     by shadows... if they wish.
[18:40] Margaret
    Would you...
[18:41] Margaret
    like to try growing something together?
[18:44] Patrick
    Yes, Patrick will consider it.
[18:47] Margaret
    Margaret will be waiting.
[18:49] Margaret
    Oh, right.
[18:51] Margaret
    Um...
[18:53] Margaret
    As a memento of our acquaintance...
[18:56] Margaret
    please take this flower...
     that Margaret grew.
[19:00] Margaret
    Um...
[19:01] Margaret
    You took a liking to it, didn't you?
[19:08] Ricky
    Marriage seems to be
[19:09] Ricky
    mode deeply embedded in the house's
    power struggles than we thought.
[19:13] Ricky
    Mistress Sarah, whom we saw earlier,
    should prove a good example for us to follow.
[19:17] Ricky
    If Mistress Maryrose should fall behind,
[19:19] Ricky
    then she would be a candidate
    for the next team leader.
[19:22] Ricky
    Keeping the conversation
    with Mistress Sarah in mind,
[19:24] Ricky
    I gave some thought to those
    who have the aptitude to become adults.
[19:28] Ricky
    Mistress Isabelle and Mistress Mirabelle
    are on the verge of failing as leaders.
[19:32] Ricky
    Mistress Kate came last in the debut.
[19:35] Ricky
    Mistress Margaret's interests
    align with yours, but that is all.
[19:39] Ricky
    As I thought, the only one
    worthy of you, Master Patrick,
[19:43] Ricky
    is the one who placed top
    in the debut, your peer...
[19:49] Patrick; internal
    Speak of her and she appears.
[19:51] Patrick; internal
    Well, then. Yes, he's right.
[19:54] Patrick; internal
    Ricky is exceptional, and he always
    guides Patrick in the right direction.
[19:58] Louise
    Oh, it's Patrick!
[20:00] Patrick; internal
    But Patrick's interest in flowers
    is the one thing...
[20:04] Patrick; internal
    which doesn't spring from Ricky's influence.
[20:06] Kate
    Oh, all of you are here.
[20:13] Patrick; internal
    No.
[20:15] Patrick; internal
    Just how great a fool can you be, Patrick?
[20:20] Patrick
    Y-Yes. What a coincidence.
[20:24] Patrick; internal
    Kate and Emilico
    are different, aren't they?
[20:27] Patrick; internal
    Because of Emilico...
[20:29] Patrick; internal
    Patrick learned that living dolls
    have their own inner aspects.
[20:36] Patrick; internal
    You're the one who split
    Patrick's heart in two.
[20:42] Patrick; internal
    Patrick has fallen in love with Emilico.
[20:48] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is sorry, Ricky!
[20:51] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is such a bungling
    failure of a master!
[20:55] Patrick; internal
    The least Patrick can do...
[20:57] Patrick; internal
    is take these feelings for Emilico...
[21:00] Patrick; internal
    and make certain to never, ever reveal them!
[21:10] lyric
    Traveling through a jumbled labyrinth...
[21:15] lyric
    Over and over
[21:19] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[21:24] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[21:28] lyric
    A vanished smile
[21:30] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[21:33] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[21:37] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[21:42] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[21:48] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[21:53] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[21:58] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:02] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[22:06] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[22:11] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[22:15] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[22:20] lyric
    Again and again
[22:24] lyric
    I'll wish on a star
[22:42] Emilico
    Both Master Patrick and Mistress Louise
    are very kind, aren't they?
[22:46] Kate
    They are.
[22:47] Kate
    There is information Kate
    cannot gather on her own,
[22:50] Kate
    so they are a very great help.
[22:52] Kate
    It may be a good time
    to hold  another meeting of peers.
[22:58] Kate
    What is it?
[22:59] Emilico
    You seem happy somehow, Mistress Kate!
[23:03] Kate
    What?
[23:09] Gilbert
    Don't block the path to the washing room!
[23:12] Gilbert
    Move!
[23:21] Isabelle
    Please, let us go!
[23:23] Mirabelle
    We can't endure any more!
[23:25] Gilbert
    That isn't something you get to decide!
[23:28] Isabelle
    We're begging you!
[23:31] Mirabelle
    Let us go! Please!

[02:47] Kate
    There is information Kate
    cannot gather on her own,
[02:50] Kate
    so they are a very great help.
[02:52] Kate
    It may be a good time to hold
    another meeting of peers.
[02:58] Kate
    What is it?
[02:59] Emilico
    You seem happy somehow, Mistress Kate!
[03:03] Kate
    What?
[03:09] Gilbert
    Don't block the path to the washing room!
[03:12] Gilbert
    Move!
[03:21] Isabelle
    Please, let us go!
[03:22] Mirabelle
    We can't endure any more!
[03:25] Gilbert
    That isn't something you get to decide!
[03:28] Isabelle
    We're begging you!
[03:31] Mirabelle
    Let us go! Please!
[03:44] Kate
    Both Isabelle and Mirabelle
    carried the scent of perfume.
[03:49] Kate
    Even in that situation, they put some on,
[03:52] Kate
    so perfume must truly be essential
    to a shadow's toilette.
[03:58] Kate
    The scents which Shaun discerned
    to be close to Master Robe's...
[04:02] Kate
    are used by those on this list.
[04:04] Kate
    Lydia said that pinpointing
    a specific perfume is difficult,
[04:08] Kate
    but as shadows bathe frequently,
[04:10] Kate
    their perfumes are always fresh, and thus
     smell the same as they do in liquid form.
[04:15] Kate
    So, the people on this list could still
    be Master Robe. That remains unchanged.
[04:22] Emilico
    That evening,
[04:23] Emilico
    Mistress Kate happened to meet
    Mistress Louise and Master Patrick,
[04:27] Emilico
    and the three of them agreed
    to once again hold a meeting of peers.
[04:44] Kate
    What is John doing?
[04:46] Kate
    Staying in one room
    for too long will draw suspicion!
[04:49] Kate
    That's why we said we'd keep this brief!
[04:51] Patrick
    Don't release so much soot.
[04:53] Patrick
    This is Patrick's room, you know.
[04:55] Patrick
    Let's begin our reports.
[04:57] Patrick
    John's absence doesn't actually
    pose a problem, does it?
[04:59] Kate
    Today, Kate wanted to hear
    the living dolls' observations, too.
[05:02] Kate
    Shaun's opinions are very helpful.
[05:06] Kate
    But Kate supposes that we must proceed.
[05:08] Kate
    Let's begin organizing our information
    on the phantom disturbances.
[05:14] Kate
    First, the information
    Louise kindly gathered
[05:16] Kate
    on the soot volumes of different shadows.
[05:20] Kate
    When one considers the conditions required
    for the formation of a phantom...
[05:23] Kate
    We can narrow our list of suspects
    to those shadows with high soot volumes.
[05:28] Kate
    There is no way for us to confirm
    whether everyone answered truthfully,
[05:31] Kate
    but by comparing
    the statements we can deduce...
[05:34] Kate
    The ones with a high soot volume are
[05:36] Kate
    Barbara, Benjamin, Gilbert,
    Douglas, John, Sarah, and Kate.
[05:42] Louise
    It is also said that those with high
    soot volumes are difficult to dispose of.
[05:47] Louise
    Kate, that gives you and
     John quite an advantage!
[05:50] Ricky; internal
    Those sorts of things
    are graded within the house, too?
[05:55] Kate
    Next, the information Patrick
    was kind enough to gather on peer groups.
[05:59] Kate
    What?
[06:00] Kate
    Barbara and Maryrose debuted together?
[06:03] Patrick
    Patrick reacted in exactly
    the same manner you just did, Kate.
[06:06] Kate
    And on top of that, they've been
     here the longest of anyone?
[06:08] Kate
    That means they're older than Susanna,
    Lydia, and Jeremiah, doesn't it?
[06:12] Louise
    Oh!
[06:13] Louise
    Those three look quite old, don't you think?
[06:15] Kate
    Stop that. It's rude, Louise.
[06:17] Patrick
    Kate, you touched on it first.
[06:19] Kate
    Um... Ahem.
[06:22] Kate
    Returning to the topic at hand...
[06:24] Kate
    Once all the relationships
    between peers are brought to light,
[06:27] Kate
    then we should also have the motives
    for the incidents clearly in sight.
[06:33] Emilico
    "To light" and "in sight"...
[06:36] Kate
    Th-That wasn't on purpose, Emilico.
[06:39] Kate
    Patrick, did you learn anything else?
[06:42] Patrick
    Well, let's see...
[06:44] Patrick
    There was something about Henry and
    William's ranking of recommended girls...
[06:48] Ricky
    Master Patrick, I'm certain
    that topic is of no relevance.
[06:51] Kate
    What?
[06:52] Kate
    Ranking girls? That's atrocious.
[06:54] Louise
    Henry and William seem like nobodies,
    so it's fairly certain they aren't the culprits.
[06:58] Ricky
    And both gentlemen have very low ambitions.
[07:01] Kate
    So we can rule them out.
[07:04] Kate; internal
    And from Louise's investigations,
[07:06] Kate; internal
    we know that neither Henry nor
    William possess soot powers.
[07:11] Kate; internal
    Though, we can't speak of it with Patrick,
    as none have awakened in him.
[07:14] Louise
    Who do you think the culprit is?
[07:16] Patrick
    This guy seems suspicious, don't you think?
[07:18] Louise
    Why?
[07:19] Patrick
    W-Well, because...
[07:21] Kate; internal
    And yet...
[07:22] Kate; internal
    Even after gathering
    all of this information,
[07:24] Kate; internal
    Christopher's name hasn't come up.
[07:27] Kate; internal
    If he's become an adult,
[07:29] Kate; internal
    then he's probably older
    than Barbara and Maryrose.
[07:33] Kate; internal
    With what we have,
    there's no way to predict anything.
[07:36] Patrick
    And as we had time, Patrick also looked
    into the marriage system.
[07:42] Kate
    Really... Sarah said that?
[07:45] Kate
    One should pick someone who won't be
    dispensed with as a marriage partner.
[07:49] Louise
    Marriage, you say?
[07:51] Louise
    Louise hasn't given any thought to it yet.
[07:57] Kate
    Sarah's name is on the perfume list.
[08:00] Kate
    What if Sarah's marriage partner is Douglas?
[08:05] Patrick
    Douglas?
[08:06] Patrick
    Well, he is Sarah's peer, but...
[08:08] Kate
    And that isn't all.
[08:09] Kate
    Sarah said she was confident.
[08:12] Kate
    Wouldn't that be because her partner
    was someone with a high soot volume?
[08:20] Kate
    We can eliminate current Star Bearers
    Barbara and Benjamin.
[08:25] Kate
    Gilbert is a peer of Star Bearer Susanna,
[08:28] Kate
    so it's very likely that he's allied
    with the current Star Bearers.
[08:31] Louise
    And John is engaged to Kate!
[08:33] Kate
    He is not.
[08:37] Kate
    The only ones left are Sarah and Douglas.
[08:42] Patrick
    Isabelle and Mirabelle
    are favorites of Susanna.
[08:45] Patrick
    Quite the unpleasant spectacle.
[08:47] Lou
    I think Mia didn't like the Belles.
[08:52] Ricky
    During the phantom disturbance,
    Doug used Mia as a shield.
[08:55] Ricky
    Could that have been to make
    themselves appear to be victims?
[08:58] Kate
    If Maryrose falls by the wayside,
[09:00] Kate
    Sarah will attain
    the position of team leader.
[09:05] Kate
    If Sarah and Douglas were
    co-conspirators in the crime,
[09:09] Kate
    could it have been an effort to disrupt
    the order among the current Star Bearers?
[09:12] Kate; internal
    It's true that Sarah has been
    focused on becoming a Star Bearer.
[09:16] Kate; internal
    And she is the type to cling to power
    and influence, but...
[09:22] John
    Sorry for being late!
[09:24] John
    You see...
[09:26] John
    We had to repair the wall and
     clean the Star Bearers' meeting room!
[09:33] John
    We've been busy!
[09:34] Patrick
    What a happy-go-lucky guy.
[09:36] Patrick
    Don't you understand?
[09:37] Patrick
    Cleaning is a humiliating
    punishment for a noble!
[09:41] Patrick
    And we've already finished our discussion!
[09:43] Patrick
    Sarah and Douglas are the culprits!
[09:46] John
    Are they?
[09:47] Patrick
    They are! And that is because...
[09:51] John
    Well, that makes sense.
[09:53] John
    But, you know,
[09:54] John
    having a high soot volume doesn't
    mean you can make phantoms.
[09:57] Kate
    What?
[09:58] John
    Jeremiah told us about scorches.
[10:01] John
    Right, Shaun?
[10:03] Shaun
    Yes.
[10:04] Shaun
    He said that when scorches gather together,
    they don't naturally form a phantom.
[10:07] Shaun
    Which means that phantoms don't appear
    unless they are deliberately created.
[10:13] Kate
    We've narrowed our list of suspects
     to shadows with high soot volumes,
[10:16] Kate
    but it seems our fundamental
    assumptions were wrong.
[10:18] Patrick
    You moron! You should have
    come sooner and said that!
[10:21] John
    What do you mean, "moron"?
    It's good information, isn't it?
[10:23] Patrick
    Take responsibility for sending
     us back to square one!
[10:26] Patrick
    Try to deduce who the culprit is!
[10:28] John
    You just leave it to John!
[10:29] John
    It's actually those with low
    soot volumes who are suspicious!
[10:31] John
    Namely you, Patrick!
[10:32] Patrick
    That isn't deduction or logic!
[10:35] John
    Kate, show John the documents!
[10:36] John
    He will give it serious thought!
[10:40] John
    What?!
[10:41] John
    Barbara and Maryrose are peers?!
[10:43] Patrick
    We're done with that already!
[10:45] Patrick
    Hearing it again from someone
    who came late is just annoying!
[10:47] John
    That's right!
[10:48] John
    Patrick, John is going to
    borrow your bathroom.
[10:50] John
    John got dirty while cleaning,
    so he's going to wash his face.
[10:52] Patrick
    Go and stay gone!
[10:58] Kate
    He's like a storm, isn't he?
[11:00] John
    Huh?
[11:01] John
    Something smells nice. Is it this flower?
[11:04] John
    That Patrick.
[11:05] John
    He should display this flower
    in his rooms, don't you think?
[11:10] Shaun
    Master John, this is...
[11:12] John
    What?
[11:13] John
    Of course!
[11:15] John
    That's why he's got it here
    where no one will see it.
[11:18] John
    Everything makes sense now!
[11:21] John
    John has misjudged you, Patrick!
[11:23] Patrick
    What?
[11:24] John
    You really are Master Robe and the
     culprit behind the phantom disturbance!
[11:28] Patrick
    What are you talking about?!
[11:30] Shaun
    Master John, please don't be hasty.
[11:32] Kate
    What's happened?
[11:34] John
    This!
[11:35] John
    It's the true source of
     Master Robe's fragrance!
[11:38] Shaun
    Mistress Kate, my apologies.
[11:40] Shaun
    When I smelled the perfumes
    at the lab, it didn't hit me,
[11:43] Shaun
    but I'm certain that it was
    the scent of this flower.
[11:46] Kate
    So, Master Robe's scent
    wasn't that of perfume?
[11:49] Patrick
    Who are you calling Master Robe?
[11:51] Patrick
    Patrick received that peony from Margaret!
[11:54] John
    Huh? Really?
[11:56] John
    So, you and Margaret are friends, then?
[11:57] Patrick
    No! It was the first time we'd met!
[12:00] Patrick; internal
    Blast it...
[12:01] Patrick; internal
    Patrick didn't want Emilico to see
    he'd received a flower from another girl.
[12:07] John
    Then Master Robe is... Margaret?!
[12:10] Louise
    Say, what is this "Master Robe," anyway?
[12:13] Emilico
    Mistress Kate?
[12:14] Kate
    When you think about it, it makes sense.
[12:16] Kate
    Why didn't Kate realize sooner?
[12:19] Kate
    To conceal one's identity,
    one would obscure one's perfume.
[12:24] Kate
    Kate had thought there was a possibility
    that Master Robe was Christopher...
[12:27] Kate
    But no.
[12:29] Kate
    Adults use different perfumes
    than children do.
[12:32] Kate
    And no child would be able to
    identify those variations.
[12:35] Kate
    There would be no need
    to hide the fragrance in the first place.
[12:38] Kate
    And it isn't any of the shadows who are
     suspects because of the perfume list.
[12:41] Kate
    They would pick a flower with
    a completely different scent
[12:43] Kate
    from the perfume they usually wear.
[12:47] Kate
    If we use the process of elimination...
[12:48] Kate
    Then the identity of Master Robe is...
[12:51] Kate
    This shadow.
[12:54] Kate
    But why?
[12:59] Emilico
    Um...
[13:00] Emilico
    I thought I must have been imagining it...
[13:03] Emilico
    I didn't want to say something strange
    and confuse you, Mistress Kate...
[13:08] Kate
    What is it?
[13:09] Emilico
    But I do think it's strange after all.
[13:13] Emilico
    When I think back on it...
[13:16] Emilico
    One face was clean.
[13:21] John
    We said we'd tell Patrick and Louise
    when we'd confirmed the culprit,
[13:25] John
    and they seemed convinced, but...
[13:28] John
    What do you want to do?
[13:29] John
    Should we charge into the offender's rooms?
[13:32] Kate
    Wait.
[13:33] Kate
    Kate found another hint on the map.
[13:35] John
    A hint?
[13:36] Kate
    A place under the jurisdiction
    of that shadow's living doll.
[13:39] Kate
    Master Robe has written
    two things onto this map.
[13:43] Kate
    The first is right here.
[13:45] Kate
    And then, here.
[13:47] Kate
    When we were exploring,
    Kate remembers a flower bed being here.
[13:51] Shaun
    When you look closely, it seems like the
     pen pressure is different from the original.
[13:54] John
    Still, would you really be
    able to find a hint like that?
[13:57] John
    It would be impossible for anyone but Kate!
[13:59] Kate
    First, let's try going to this flower bed.
[14:10] Shaun
    An untended flower bed...
[14:13] John
    People wouldn't come
    to a place like this very often.
[14:17] Shaun
    There's just one spot where
    the soil has been made level.
[14:21] John
    Right, Emilico!
[14:22] Emilico
    What?
[14:22] John
    Team Brawn is going to dig!
[14:25] Kate
    John!
[14:26] Kate
    Please don't equate Emilico with yourself!
[14:28] Shaun
    I'll do it!
[14:34] John
    We've got something!
[14:45] John
    "In that moment which spans across days..."
[14:47] John
    "Let us meet in the place where
    that which was wicked was shattered."
[14:52] Shaun
    Do you think it could be a trap?
[14:55] Kate
    It may very well be.
[14:57] Emilico
    Do you think that Master Robe
    hasn't been brainwashed?
[15:01] Emilico
    Why would they do something like this?
[15:04] Kate
    Why, indeed.
[15:06] Kate
    They had the disposition to
     create all this strife, after all.
[15:08] Kate
    We need to prepare ourselves first.
[15:11] Kate
    The frightening thing is that
    we still don't know their motives.
[15:15] Kate
    And we don't know what
    they might mean to do next.
[15:20] Kate
    Honestly. It's all so circuitous.
[15:23] Kate
    Kate doesn't like their methods one bit.
[15:28] Kate
    Fine, then. We'll do as you wish.
[15:31] Kate
    Just you wait.
[15:33] Kate
    We'll tear that robe right off of you!
[16:16] Kate
    You really did come.
[16:21] John
    Say, John would like to ask you something!
[16:25] John
    Have you been waiting here every night?
[16:27] John
    That must have been grueling!
[16:28] Kate
    Simply checking if the flower bed had been
     dug up would render that entirely unnecessary!
[16:32] John
    That makes sense.
[16:35] Kate
    Phantoms and their disturbances
    were once only rumors,
[16:37] Kate
    and now they've appeared twice
    in a short span of time.
[16:42] Kate
    According to the research team,
[16:44] Kate
    scorches do not naturally
    turn into phantoms.
[16:48] Kate
    Which makes it clear that
    someone's soot power made them.
[16:53] Kate
    And...
[16:54] Kate
    Late at night, you sought
    to make contact with Emilico.
[16:56] Kate
    You, a strange, unsettling presence...
[16:59] Kate
    Do the messages you left on the map
[17:02] Kate
    mean that you were hoping
    for something from us?
[17:11] Master Robe
    It's amazing that you've been able to
[17:13] Master Robe
    conduct yourself in a way that
    doesn't expose you, Kate.
[17:16] Master Robe
    You're a special morph, too, aren't you?
[17:20] Kate
    Morph? You know about that, too?
[17:24] John
    Morph?
[17:25] Master Robe
    You haven't told your allies about it?
[17:29] Master Robe
    To think you'd be so thoroughly cautious...
[17:32] Master Robe
    I'm impressed.
[17:35] John
    Kate, what is it that you know?
[17:40] Master Robe
    However...
[17:42] Master Robe
    Do you control information in that manner
    because you don't trust your allies?
[17:47] Kate
    That's not true.
[17:49] Master Robe
    Since your own existence is special...
[17:52] Master Robe
    You look down on others, don't you?
[17:57] Master Robe
    As I thought... Your memories
     remain, do they not?
[18:00] Master Robe
    Memories from before you
    began to mimic a human.
[18:06] Master Robe
    What will you do?
[18:08] Master Robe
    Your underlings are confused.
[18:10] Master Robe
    Shall I explain?
[18:14] Master Robe
    A morph is the previous form of a shadow,
[18:18] Master Robe
    from before they begin to mimic a human.
[18:21] Master Robe
    Once they mimic a human,
     they also mimic its intelligence.
[18:25] Master Robe
    It's very close to reincarnation.
[18:27] Master Robe
    And once that happens,
[18:29] Master Robe
    their memories from when they
    were morphs slowly disappear.
[18:33] Master Robe
    But Kate and I are different.
[18:37] Master Robe
    We remember everything.
[18:39] Master Robe
    I have seen the mechanisms by which
    Shadows House treats its living dolls as tools.
[18:45] Master Robe
    Shadows are nobles?
    That is simply make-believe.
[18:50] Master Robe
    Shadows House is a house of kidnappers.
[18:54] Kate
    Kate wants to change that! That's why she—
[18:57] Master Robe
    Are you sure about that, Kate?
[18:59] Master Robe
    You haven't changed either, have you?
[19:02] Master Robe
    In the end, you're the only one
    who knows the secrets of this house,
[19:05] Master Robe
    and you compel your
    underlings to follow you.
[19:07] Master Robe
    You manipulate them
    from a position of superiority.
[19:10] Master Robe
    Were you frightened?
[19:12] Master Robe
    Did you think that if the information leaked,
    you'd be digging your own grave?
[19:16] Master Robe
    Or did you think that
    if they learned how cunning you are,
[19:20] Master Robe
    you would lose their trust?
[19:31] John
    You're saying all that when you
    know nothing of John and the others!
[19:37] John
    If you hurt Kate any more,
    John will punch you!
[19:42] John
    She's the smartest, so of course she's
    thinking about all kinds of things!
[19:46] John
    Kate, please say something
     in your own defense!
[19:48] John
    John can't figure out what to say!
[19:56] Kate
    Well, it seems you've said everything
    you wanted to, with no restraint.
[19:59] Kate
    Kate is furious right now!
[20:01] Kate
    Because of you, Kate fell under
    suspicion from the Star Bearers.
[20:05] Kate
    And even supposing there were morphs
    who retained their prior memories,
[20:09] Kate
    are you saying that all
    of them would share your ideology?
[20:12] Kate
    Just how many living dolls do you suppose
    were hurt by the phantom disturbance?
[20:17] Kate
    Some, like Rosemary and Victor,
    were even severely injured!
[20:20] Kate
    As you know that living dolls are human,
[20:23] Kate
    Kate cannot understand why you would
    take such a course of action!
[20:26] Kate
    If anyone here is preening over
    their own splendid superiority,
[20:29] Kate
    it's you!
[20:31] Kate
    If that's the kind of shadow you are,
[20:33] Kate
    then Kate has no reservations about
    handing you over to the Star Bearers.
[20:35] Kate
    Remove your robe.
[20:37] Kate
    Kate knows who you are.
[20:40] Kate
    Hiding your scent, height, and voice means
    that you're someone close to us.
[20:46] Kate
    It's highly likely that you're affiliated
    with Emilico, Shaun, or Rum's teams.
[20:50] Kate
    We also investigated
    perfumes and soot powers!
[20:54] Kate
    After the process of elimination,
    the only one left was you!
[20:56] Kate
    And then Emilico testified to something else.
[21:00] Kate
    One trait of soot sickness is that the
    afflicted's whole face is blackened with soot.
[21:05] Kate
    That's because they resist
    when the scorches cling to them.
[21:10] Kate
    And yet...
[21:12] (Flashback) Emilico
    When I think back on it...
[21:14] (Flashback) Emilico
    One face was clean.
[21:17] Kate
    The living doll who started
    the whole incident...
[21:20] Kate
    bore no signs of resisting!
[21:22] Kate
    That's because you ordered your own
     living doll to do it, right?
[21:28] Kate
    To think you'd go so far...
[21:35] Kate
    Why did you do it,
[21:46] Kate
    Maryrose?
[22:01] Maryrose
    All of you really are quite entertaining.
[22:05] lyric
    Traveling through a jumbled labyrinth...
[22:10] lyric
    Over and over
[22:14] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[22:19] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[22:23] lyric
    A vanished smile
[22:25] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[22:28] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[22:32] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[22:37] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[22:43] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[22:48] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[22:53] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:57] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[23:01] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[23:06] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[23:10] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[23:15] lyric
    Again and again
[23:19] lyric
    I'll wish on a star
[23:36] Kate

    In the face of sadness, we shall smile

    To live is to be a marionette

[01:33] John
    Whoa! Th-There, at her feet!
[01:36] John
    She's riding a scorch!
[01:46] John
    She put a scorch in her throat?!
[01:48] John
    The raspiness in her voice is gone!
[01:50] Maryrose
    You saw through everything. Well done.
[01:53] Maryrose
    I'd expect nothing less...
[01:55] Maryrose
    of such a beautiful rose.
[01:58] Maryrose
    I do not possess much soot,
[02:02] Maryrose
    but this power is quite useful.
[02:07] Maryrose
    It activates when even a tiny amount
    of my soot is incorporated into a scorch.
[02:12] Maryrose
    They are compelled to obey
    simple commands from me.
[02:15] Kate
    And that's how you played tricks
    with your height and voice.
[02:18] John
    Hold on...
[02:20] John
    Robe. Rose. Robe. Rose.
[02:23] John
    Master Robe's true identity is Rose!
    What a tremendous hint!
[02:27] Kate
    It was Emilico who started
    calling her "Master Robe"!
[02:29] Kate
    Will you please stop
    making silly jokes?!
[02:32] Kate; internal
    According to Louise's research,
[02:34] Kate; internal
    Maryrose's soot powers have physical effects
    which she can manipulate from a distance.
[02:38] Kate; internal
    Since scorches aren't
    living organisms,
[02:40] Kate; internal
    she can physically
    make them move.
[02:43] Kate; internal
    When she made the Belles
    break the coffee carafes,
[02:45] Kate; internal
    she must have been
    hiding somewhere,
[02:47] Kate; internal
    using her powers from
    afar to guide events...
[02:52] Kate; internal
    just the way I did at the debut
    when I made Emilico dance.
[02:58] Kate
    Maryrose, Kate simply
    cannot understand.
[03:02] Kate
    Rosemary is your living doll.
[03:04] Kate
    How could you do such cruel
     things to her and the others?
[03:07] Rosemary
    You have it wrong.
[03:18] Rosemary
    This is something I wanted.
[03:22] Kate
    Rosemary?
[03:23] Kate
    Have you recovered
    from your soot sickness?
[03:26] Rosemary
    To be precise, Mistress Maryrose
     manipulated a scorch,
[03:30] Rosemary
    anchoring it in a spot in my stomach
    where it would not easily be washed away,
[03:33] Rosemary
    to make it so that I wouldn't
    recover from the soot sickness.
[03:37] Kate
    She went as far as that?
[03:39] Rosemary
    It was necessary.
[03:45] Maryrose
    Rosemary and I don't
    have much time left.
[03:49] Maryrose
    We have received an invitation.
[03:53] Kate
    What?
[03:54] Maryrose
    Becoming an adult here
    at Shadows House...
[03:56] Maryrose
    Do you know what that entails?
[04:00] Maryrose
    A shadow's ultimate goal...
[04:03] Maryrose
    is to become one with a human.
[04:09] Maryrose
    The "invitation" is a summons
    to undergo the fusion ceremony
[04:13] Maryrose
    where a shadow and living
    doll become one entity.
[04:16] Maryrose
    The "adults" are all shadows
    who have completed this fusion!
[04:22] John
    Th-That's amazing!
[04:24] John
    Shadows can really
    do something like that?
[04:27] Maryrose
    To gain a face,
    shadows extinguish a human life.
[04:33] Maryrose
    The living doll's
    awareness is snuffed out,
[04:35] Maryrose
    and the shadow steps
    into their body!
[04:38] John; internal
    Huh? What does that mean?
[04:40] John; internal
    If John and Shaun fuse,
[04:42] John; internal
    will we never be able to speak
    to each other again?
[04:45] John; internal
    That would be horrible!
[04:47] Maryrose
    For a long time, we have awaited
    a chance to escape this house...
[04:52] Maryrose
    But with no moves we could make,
    time simply slipped away.
[04:56] Maryrose
    I possess very little soot,
[04:59] Maryrose
    and my power was only good
    for moving small, light objects.
[05:03] Maryrose
    Then, one day,
[05:04] Maryrose
    it suddenly blossomed into
    an ability to manipulate scorches!
[05:09] Maryrose
    I was so grateful
    for this stroke of luck!
[05:12] Maryrose
    I thought that maybe I could
    use it to find those of like mind.
[05:16] Maryrose
    As a first step,
[05:18] Maryrose
    I orchestrated the phantom disturbance.
[05:25] Maryrose
    This house robs people of thought,
[05:27] Maryrose
    so I wanted to uncover those who
     "fret over trivial matters."
[05:36] Maryrose
    Just as we thought that everything
    was progressing perfectly,
[05:40] Maryrose
    we received our invitation.
[05:44] Maryrose
    We no longer had time
    to search for kindred spirits.
[05:47] Maryrose
    We risked everything on one last
    chance for the two of us to escape.
[05:57] Maryrose
    In order to temporarily
    defer our invitation,
[05:59] Maryrose
    we had no choice but for Rosemary
    to contract soot sickness.
[06:03] Maryrose
    That's why we caused the second
    phantom disturbance—to buy ourselves time.
[06:08] Maryrose
    I took advantage
    of the resulting chaos,
[06:10] Maryrose
    and searched for other
    entrances and exits.
[06:12] Maryrose
    But I couldn't find any.
[06:14] Kate
    "Other"? What do you mean?
[06:17] Maryrose
    Emilico has told you, hasn't she?
[06:19] Maryrose
    The main house has an entryway.
[06:23] Maryrose
    I had searched that area previously.
[06:34] Maryrose
    However...
[06:40] Maryrose
    beyond the doors lay only a cliff!
[06:43] Maryrose
    The "entryway" is no
    more than a facade!
[06:47] Maryrose
    It seems the only way to escape is
    to pass through Lord Grandfather's wing—
[06:53] Maryrose
    a completely impregnable fortress.
[06:56] Maryrose
    Shadows House is toying
    with all of our lives.
[07:02] Maryrose
    To steal Rosemary's body,
[07:04] Maryrose
    so that I alone can continue
    to live a carefree life...
[07:07] Maryrose
    The very idea is unthinkable!
[07:09] Maryrose
    And so!
[07:10] Maryrose
    We shall fight our fate!
[07:17] Rosemary
    We know that we are being selfish.
[07:20] Rosemary
    When others learned of the secrets
[07:22] Rosemary
    of this house and were disposed of,
     we stood by and watched.
[07:27] Rosemary
    And because we tried to break
    the brainwashing, lives were lost.
[07:33] Rosemary
    It may be that our emotions
    have become muted.
[07:38] Rosemary
    My tears have run dry.
[07:41] Rosemary
    But, Mistress Kate, in such a short time,
    and without anyone noticing,
[07:44] Rosemary
    you have gathered yourself so many allies.
[07:47] Rosemary
    You are far more brilliant than we are.
[07:51] Rosemary
    Were it possible, I only wish
    we could have met sooner.
[07:56] Kate; internal
    It can't be...
[07:57] Kate; internal
    They wrought all this havoc precisely because
    of how much they care for each other?
[08:04] Kate; internal
    What if it were me?
[08:06] Kate; internal
    If I'd spent years in this house,
    unable to make allies,
[08:09] Kate; internal
    only to learn in the end
    that I'd lose Emilico...
[08:14] Rosemary
    Emilico...
[08:20] Rosemary
    There was so much more...
    I wanted to teach you.
[08:27] Rosemary
    Mia can be difficult to get along with,
[08:30] Rosemary
    but she's good at looking
    after people,
[08:32] Rosemary
    so she's sure to become
    a wonderful team leader.
[08:36] Rosemary
    Lou is a quiet, intelligent girl.
[08:40] Rosemary
    She lacks initiative, so, Emilico,
[08:42] Rosemary
    you make up for that
    for her, all right?
[08:47] Rosemary
    It only existed for a brief time...
[08:51] Rosemary
    But it was a wonderful
    team, wasn't it?
[08:55] Rosemary
    Shaun, you come over here, too.
[09:03] Rosemary
    I'm so sorry, truly.
[09:08] Rosemary
    It's too late for us...
[09:10] Rosemary
    to turn back now.
[09:20] Rosemary
    So please don't get in our way.
[09:24] Kate
    Emilico!
[09:25] John
    Shaun!
[09:26] Maryrose
    Tomorrow, we shall once
    again receive our invitation.
[09:30] Maryrose
    And that shall be our final act.
[09:34] Maryrose
    Which is why we cannot allow
    you to expose us as the culprits!
[09:38] Maryrose
    You will be restrained
    until the time comes!
[09:42] John
    Whoa!
[09:43] John
    There are still this
    many scorches?!
[09:45] John
    Who was it? Who skipped
    out on their cleaning?!
[09:48] Maryrose
    These are my last lessons
    for you as team leader!
[09:58] John
    Blast!
[09:59] John
    We can't get close
    to Shaun and Emilico!
[10:07] Maryrose
    So, you also have a long-distance,
    physical-type power?
[10:09] Maryrose
    I have a general idea
    of what you're thinking.
[10:12] Maryrose
    You are intelligent.
[10:15] Maryrose
    But you lack experience.
[10:17] Maryrose
    Lured by hints,
[10:19] Maryrose
    you came all the way to
    this stage I'd set for you.
[10:22] Maryrose
    Did you not think that
    it might be dangerous?
[10:25] Maryrose
    Did you think you could wing it against an
     opponent who had little soot to work with?
[10:31] Maryrose
    Lesson one!
[10:32] Maryrose
    Do not regard those who have
    been here longer with disdain!
[10:36] Kate
    We'll retreat for now!
[10:37] Kate
    If she's gathered every scorch
    in the house, we're at a disadvantage!
[10:40] Kate
    We'll go outside!
[10:41] John
    Right!
[10:49] John
    We defeated quite
    a few of them with that!
[10:51] Kate
    It seems that even when manipulated,
[10:53] Kate
    scorches are still weak against water!
[10:55] John
    Still, Rosemary really got us!
[10:59] John
    That talk she had with Emilico
    even made John cry a little!
[11:03] John
    And it was all just to get us
    to let down our guards?
[11:05] John
    She's such a good actress!
[11:06] Kate
    It may be that her words were the truth.
[11:08] Kate
    But achieving their goal was more
    important to them than anything else.
[11:13] John
    Look out!
[11:14] John
    These things just don't give up!
[11:17] John
    How far is her scorch-controlling range?
[11:21] Kate
    While Rosemary was receiving treatment,
    she was controlling that scorch...
[11:25] Kate
    even though there's
    quite a distance between
[11:27] Kate
    the washing room
    and Maryrose's rooms.
[11:30] Kate
    Could it be that once she's given
    an order, they become automated?
[11:35] Kate
    And when it comes to soot,
[11:36] Kate
    she has far more information
    than Kate and the others do.
[11:39] Kate
    She's a formidable foe.
[11:41] John
    The John Punch is our last resort, right?
[11:45] Kate
    What is that?
    You named your ability?
[11:47] Maryrose
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:54] John
    They're riding the scorches!
[11:57] John
    And there are more
    of them than before!
[11:59] John
    Where'd she get them from?!
[12:03] Kate
    They're fast!
[12:09] John
    They're gonna catch us!
[12:19] John
    They're gonna catch us!
[12:29] John
    Just kidding!
[12:35] Maryrose
    Blast it.
[12:37] Kate
    This is an aqueduct that
    brings water to the house.
[12:41] Maryrose
    A bridge made of soot.
[12:43] Maryrose
    You made it appear to be an extension
    of the land in order to lead us here...
[12:47] Maryrose
    Is that how it worked?
[12:48] John
    Well, this is a hill, you see!
[12:50] John
    You couldn't tell
    from below, right?
[12:52] John
    We didn't do all that
    exploring just for show!
[12:54] John
    With this, you've lost your
    fighting power, haven't you, Maryrose?
[12:58] Kate
    And now, to restrain you!
[13:07] Kate
    Kate's being pulled in!
[13:08] John
    Kate!
[13:11] Maryrose
    Why didn't you drop us
     into the aqueduct as well?
[13:14] Maryrose
    Were you being careful
    not to hurt Rosemary and me?
[13:19] Maryrose
    How naïve.
[13:20] Maryrose
    Lesson two!
[13:22] Maryrose
    Do not show compassion
    for your enemies.
[13:25] John
    How could you do that to Kate?
[13:27] John
    Don't show compassion, you say?
[13:29] John
    Then you'd better
    prepare yourselves!
[13:31] John
    You're about to get blown away!
[13:33] Kate; internal
    Wait...
[13:34] Kate; internal
    What is it? Something feels wrong.
[13:37] (Flashback) Maryrose
    You are intelligent.
[13:39] (Flashback) Maryrose
    But you lack experience.
[13:41] Kate; internal
    That's right.
[13:43] Kate; internal
    They've lived in the house
    for a long time.
[13:45] Kate; internal
    It's highly possible that they
    knew about this aqueduct.
[13:49] Kate; internal
    Could they have let themselves
    spring the trap on purpose?
[13:52] Kate; internal
    Why did they want us
    to let down our guard?
[13:57] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Did you think you could wing it against an
     opponent who had little soot to work with?
[14:01] Kate; internal
    Maryrose has a low soot volume.
[14:03] Kate; internal
    If that is true, then...
[14:06] Kate; internal
    A great number of scorches were
    defeated in the great hall.
[14:09] Kate; internal
    It's odd that they multiplied
    to such an extent.
[14:11] (Flashback) John
    Who was it? Who skipped
    out on their cleaning?!
[14:15] Kate; internal
    Could it be that those
    scorches earlier...
[14:19] Kate; internal
    were made from my soot?!
[14:22] John
    John...
[14:24] John
    Punch!
[14:26] Kate
    John, no!
[14:28] Kate
    Maryrose's soot power isn't limited
    to manipulating scorches!
[14:32] John
    What?
[14:40] Kate
    She can instantaneously transform
    others' soot into scorches!
[14:44] John
    Uh... Uh-oh.
[14:45] John
    There's more than double
    what was there before!
[14:52] Maryrose
    Lesson three.
[14:54] Maryrose
    One's true power should be
     kept secret as long as possible.
[15:01] John
    So this is a phantom?
[15:10] John
    All we can do is run!
    Let's go, Kate!
[15:13] Kate
    J-John!
[15:14] Kate
    What's wrong?
[15:16] John
    Why...
[15:17] John
    John's body won't move
    the way he wants it to...
[15:19] Kate
    You've used too much soot.
[15:20] Kate
    But you can do this, John!
[15:21] Kate
    For now, we just have to run!
[15:24] John
    John is sorry for being so pathetic.
[15:30] Maryrose
    You will not be allowed
    to interfere, Kate.
[15:34] Maryrose
    We will decide the manner
     in which our curtain falls.
[15:45] Kate
    It's no good.
    Kate is exhausted, too.
[15:49] John
    The more you attack,
    the stronger your opponent becomes!
[15:52] John
    That's just cheating!
[15:54] John
    This is no different from having
    our soot powers sealed away.
[15:57] John
    Blast it!
[15:58] John
    Both John and Kate thought that our
     high soot volumes were our one advantage!
[16:04] Kate
    And we left Emilico and Shaun
    back in the great hall, too.
[16:07] Kate
    It's just as Maryrose said.
[16:10] Kate
    Kate and the others were naïve.
[16:14] Kate; internal
    And that points to one
    devastating truth...
[16:18] Kate; internal
    That even Maryrose, with all her power,
[16:21] Kate; internal
    had no choice but to give up
    on escaping from this house.
[16:25] Kate; internal
    Just how great a gap in strength
    is there between us and the adults?
[16:32] Edward
    Bah. It's quite dispiriting,
[16:35] Edward
    having to go and check on the box.
[16:37] Aileen
    Even if one pair succeeds,
    it may be difficult for another.
[16:42] Thomas
    They entered the box a long time ago.
[16:46] Thomas
    What a shame.
[16:48] Thomas
    It seems you've started off with a failure,
[16:52] Thomas
    new warden of the children's wing...
[16:55] Thomas
    Young Edward.
[16:57] Edward
    Master Thomas.
[16:59] Thomas
    Your first welcoming...
[17:01] Thomas
    What do you think?
[17:03] Thomas
    Does it make you feel the
    weight of your responsibilities?
[17:05] Gerald
    We are about to confirm
    whether they failed or not.
[17:10] Thomas
    It's a truly wretched thing, you know?
[17:13] Edward
    I see.
[17:15] Edward
    It seems you have too
    much time on your hands.
[17:17] Edward
    Is this what you wish to say?
[17:19] Edward
    The warden's most important
    duty, the welcoming...
[17:22] Edward
    If it fails repeatedly,
[17:24] Edward
    the warden is removed from
    the position.
[17:28] Edward
    Is that it, former Warden Thomas?
[17:32] Thomas
    Why would a little brat
    who's only just risen
[17:35] Thomas
    to the second floor
    be given my position?
[17:37] Aileen
    What does it matter?
[17:38] Aileen
    Just think of it as having
    more leisure time.
[17:40] Aileen
    Flaring up at him like that...
[17:42] Aileen
    In addition to losing your position,
    you might be demoted to the first floor.
[17:47] Aileen
    Is your fear of that
    the cause of this?
[17:49] Thomas
    Don't underestimate me, you nobodies.
[18:00] Edward
    Now, now...
[18:02] Edward
    Running wild in a place like this
[18:04] Edward
    and ruining Lord Grandfather's mood
    would be idiotic, don't you think?
[18:08] Edward
    Allow me to apologize
     for speaking out of turn.
[18:10] Edward
    I am still quite young.
[18:14] Edward
    Please hold on to a long-term perspective.
[18:18] Edward
    After all, the ones who are
    worthy of the third floor...
[18:23] Edward
    are us.
[18:32] Gerald
    But, Edward, if only
    one pair of two succeeds,
[18:37] Gerald
    that would be a hard blow to take.
[18:39] Aileen
    If half succeed, it zeroes
     out on balance.
[18:42] Aileen
    But next time...
[18:44] Aileen
    Maryrose.
[18:46] Aileen
    I can understand why
    you're interested in her.
[18:49] Aileen
    Even if she were to be
    welcomed now, she would fail.
[18:52] Edward
    In the report for her transfer,
[18:54] Edward
    her evaluations were lower than expected,
    even considering her low soot volume.
[19:00] Edward
    It's strange, isn't it?
[19:04] Edward
    We are speaking of Maryrose,
    who used to excel.
[19:15] Edward
    What happened to her
     after we became adults?
[19:23] Edward
    As I thought,
[19:24] Edward
    the system wherein adults cannot directly
    affect the children's wing must be changed.
[19:29] Aileen
    And the reports, too.
[19:30] Aileen
    Only the warden is allowed to read them.
[19:40] Edward
    On top of which,
[19:41] Edward
    the moment they were invited,
     they contracted soot sickness.
[19:46] Edward
    All one can think is that they are resistant
    to coming to Lord Grandfather's wing.
[19:51] Gerald
    Is Maryrose a rebellious element?
[19:54] Edward
    This is only a hypothesis,
[19:55] Edward
    but what if she deliberately lowered her
    evaluations to stay in the children's wing...
[19:59] Edward
    so that she could inspire newcomers to rebel?
[20:04] Edward
    Kate could be the product of that.
[20:06] Edward
    She's a member of Maryrose's team.
[20:08] Edward
    There's more than
    enough to connect them.
[20:11] Edward
    Kate will carry on her mutinous ideology,
[20:14] Edward
    and if it spreads throughout
    the whole of the children's wing,
[20:16] Edward
    the Star Bearers will be unable
     to quell it on their own.
[20:19] Edward
    To make those up on the
    third floor understand this,
[20:22] Edward
    we will welcome Maryrose,
[20:24] Edward
    and have her come clean,
    spilling everything she knows.
[20:27] Edward
    If we can deliver a rebellious
    element to Lord Grandfather,
[20:31] Edward
    our path to the third floor will open.
[20:34] Gerald
    I see.
[20:35] Gerald
    Since you have thought that
    far ahead, I have no complaints.
[20:39] Aileen
    And to gain trust,
    an enemy is needed.
[20:43] Edward; internal
    When a shadow and a living doll
    enter the Box of Completion...
[20:47] Edward; internal
    a cocoon is formed from the shadow's soot.
[20:50] Edward; internal
    If the process succeeds,
    the living doll's life is extinguished,
[20:53] Edward; internal
    and a shadow made perfect
    emerges from the cocoon.
[20:57] Edward; internal
    Just as a caterpillar becomes a
    chrysalis and then emerges with wings.
[21:01] Edward; internal
    The process takes between
    one and two weeks.
[21:04] Edward; internal
    Failure means death.
[21:07] Edward; internal
    I'm afraid that Maryrose
    is unlikely to succeed.
[21:11] Edward; internal
    A failed fusion reduces the
    evaluation of the warden in charge,
[21:15] Edward; internal
    but that is of little concern.
[21:32] Edward
    What a horrible odor.
[21:46] Edward
    The real thing is even more
    hideous than I was told.
[21:51] Edward; internal
    Maryrose...
[21:53] Edward; internal
    This is where your fate shall lead.
[21:56] Edward; internal
    Those who plot rebellion...
[22:00] Edward; internal
    should be punished.

[23:06] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over

    Until I can take that hand

[00:00] John
    John...
[00:01] John
    Punch!
[00:03] Kate
    John, no!
[00:05] Kate
    Maryrose's soot power isn't
    limited to manipulating scorches!
[00:08] John
    What?
[00:16] Kate
    She can instantaneously transform
    others' soot into scorches!
[00:20] John
    Uh... Uh-oh.
[00:22] John
    There's more than double
    what was there before!
[00:26] Maryrose
    Lesson three.
[00:28] Maryrose
    One's true power should be
    kept secret as long as possible.
[00:35] John
    So this is a phantom?
[00:44] John
    All we can do is run!
    Let's go, Kate!
[00:47] Kate
    J-John!
[00:49] Kate
    What's wrong?
[00:50] John
    Why...
[00:51] John
    John's body won't move
    the way he wants it to...
[00:53] Kate
    You've used too much soot.
[00:55] Kate
    But you can do this, John!
[00:56] Kate
    For now, we just have to run!
[00:58] John
    John is sorry for
    being so pathetic.
[01:07] John
    The more you attack,
    the stronger your opponent becomes!
[01:10] John
    That's just cheating!
[01:12] John
    This is no different from having
    our soot powers sealed away.
[01:15] John
    Blast it!
[01:16] John
    Both John and Kate thought that our high
    soot volumes were our one advantage!
[01:21] Kate
    And we left Emilico and Shaun
    back in the great hall, too.
[01:25] Kate
    It's just as Maryrose said.
[01:28] Kate
    Kate and the others were naïve.
[01:33] Maryrose
    You will not be allowed
    to interfere, Kate.
[01:37] Maryrose
    We will decide the manner
    in which our curtain falls.
[01:57] lyrics
    In the face of sadness, we shall smile
[02:01] lyrics
    To live is to be a marionette

    Pain and resentment, and sadness, too...

    Mix them, knead them...
[02:27] lyrics
    And then a good night kiss

[03:31] John
    Kate, what will we do now?
[03:36] Kate
    This isn't going as planned, is it?
[03:39] Kate
    For now, we have to make
    sure she doesn't find us.
[03:42] Kate
    Since soot attacks won't
    work on Maryrose,
[03:46] Kate
    it will be incredibly difficult
    for Kate and John to capture her.
[03:49] Kate
    First, let's try to get
    close to the house.
[03:52] Kate
    If we must, we can shout for help.
[03:55] John
    With everyone brainwashed,
[03:57] John
    John would've really liked
    to settle this with just us, though.
[04:01] Kate
    Can you still move, John?
[04:03] John
    Yes, John can manage.
[04:09] John
    There are scorches
    coming this way!
[04:10] John
    Didn't they all turn
    into that phantom?!
[04:13] Kate
    This time, she's planning to
    use sheer numbers to overwhelm us.
[04:15] John
    A human wave attack...
[04:17] John
    No, a scorch wave attack?
[04:18] John
    That Maryrose is ruthless!
[04:24] John
    And now John is hungry!
[04:26] John
    Blast!
[04:27] John
    If John had known things would
    go like this, he'd have eaten something!
[04:29] Kate
    Indeed!
[04:30] Kate
    Using soot powers chips
    away at one's stamina, so...
[04:35] Maryrose
    What a truly enjoyable evening.
[04:39] Maryrose
    Kate has conducted herself admirably.
[04:42] Maryrose
    And John's soot
    volume is impressive.
[04:45] Maryrose
    We've rendered their soot powers ineffective,
[04:47] Maryrose
    and their living dolls aren't
     here to fight for them.
[04:49] Maryrose
    The next thing they'll think
    about is calling for help.
[04:54] Maryrose
    Now, my scorches!
[04:56] Maryrose
    Do not let those two get
    anywhere near the house!
[05:02] Kate
    If we're cornered now,
    we'll have nowhere left to go.
[05:05] Kate
    It's no good. She's reading our every move!
[05:08] Kate
    Kate is worried about
    Emilico and Shaun.
[05:11] John
    Huh? They're probably fine, right?
[05:13] John
    After all, we implemented
    the Mouth Full of Water Plan!
[05:17] John
    Since she can control scorches,
    we knew she'd target our living dolls first.
[05:21] John
    That's why they filled their
    mouths with water ahead of time.
[05:24] John
    Protected against scorches,
[05:25] John
    they'd create an opening by acting
    like they'd contracted soot sickness.
[05:30] John
    And to make sure they
    weren't found out,
[05:31] John
    Kate, you sent soot into their eyes
    and made them look pitch-black!
[05:34] John
    Your control there was perfect!
[05:37] Kate
    True, but... up until now,
[05:39] Kate
    Maryrose has been one step ahead
    of everything we've tried.
[05:46] Kate; internal
    This is bad.
[05:47] Kate; internal
    If she sent high-density
    scorches at them...
[05:58] Shaun; Emilico
    My eyes hurt!
[06:02] Emilico
    Mistress Kate, you didn't
    have to go this far!
[06:05] Shaun
    My eyes won't stop watering.
[06:07] Shaun
    I have to rinse them out.
[06:09] Emilico
    I'll go and bring the water we hid.
[06:16] Emilico
    I can't see very well.
[06:18] Shaun
    You can do it! Please, Emilico.
[06:29] Shaun
    I had no idea that getting soot
    in my eyes would hurt this much.
[06:33] Emilico
    But thanks to that,
    our acting was very realistic!
[06:36] Shaun
    Still...
[06:37] Shaun
    I thought we were
    prepared against scorches,
[06:40] Shaun
    but the timing of that
    attack was just...
[06:42] Emilico
    You don't have any left
    in your mouth, do you?
[06:47] Shaun
    I'm fine.
[06:48] Shaun
    Actually, it's the irritation
    in my eyes that's awful.
[06:51] Shaun
    And that's because the soot
    was really packed in there.
[06:54] Shaun
    Seen in comparison to that,
    Mistress Maryrose is really amazing.
[06:58] Shaun
    She sent scorches with a precisely
    calculated amount of soot at us.
[07:01] Shaun
    Though, thanks to that,
[07:03] Shaun
    we were able to hold them off
     with a mouthful of water.
[07:07] Shaun
    I-It isn't a criticism of Mistress Kate!
[07:10] Emilico
    Mistress Maryrose is very kind, isn't she?
[07:15] Shaun
    I see.
[07:16] Shaun
    If she'd sent small,
    high-density scorches at us,
[07:20] Shaun
    we might not have been
    able to defend against them.
[07:24] Shaun
    Could it be...
[07:25] Shaun
    Did she calculate the amount so we'd
     only receive a light case of soot sickness?
[07:29] Emilico
    If we turn her in as the culprit...
[07:32] Emilico
    Will Mistress Maryrose and Rosemary...
[07:35] Emilico
    be disposed of?
[07:39] Shaun
    Right now, we should concentrate
    only on our own masters.
[07:44] Shaun
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[07:46] Shaun
    If Master John is alone
    with Mistress Kate...
[07:49] Shaun
    He'll be overeager and expend
    all of his strength, won't he?
[07:55] Shaun
    Master John's punch
    is incredibly powerful,
[07:58] Shaun
    but he can't regulate it the
    way Mistress Maryrose can her powers.
[08:00] Shaun
    Apparently, a single punch consumes
    a huge amount of his stamina!
[08:05] Shaun
    Blast.
[08:06] Shaun
    He should have
    had seconds at dinner.
[08:10] Emilico
    Then there's no need to worry!
[08:12] Emilico
    After all, Mistress Kate
    has a secret weapon!
[08:20] Kate
    Ta-dah!
[08:21] Kate
    Kate's just remembered
    that she has this!
[08:26] Kate
    Who'd have imagined that
    it would prove useful?
[08:28] Kate
    First, we must
    replenish our strength.
[08:31] Kate
    Let's eat it together.
[08:32] John
    Huh? Oh...
[08:33] John
    You're giving this to John?
[08:39] John
    Do you always have
    rolls in your pocket?
[08:42] Kate
    What? No, not usually.
[08:44] Kate
    It's because Emilico insisted.
[08:48] (Flashback) Emilico
    Rolls are an absolute necessity!
[08:50] (Flashback) Emilico
    When we did our late night patrols,
     they came in very handy!
[08:54] John
    No, it's just...
[08:56] John
    John was so happy,
    he didn't know how to react!
[08:58] John
    Ahem.
[09:00] John
    It's the first present John
    ever received from Kate...
[09:02] John
    He'll treasure it all his life.
[09:04] Kate
    Eat it immediately.
[09:12] John
    All right! John's power is at its maximum!
[09:15] John
    Next time, John will bring her down!
[09:16] John
    You just wait! You'll get what's
    coming to you, Maryrose!
[09:19] Kate
    If you make too much noise,
    she'll find us! Keep quiet!
[09:24] John
    The strength from the roll Kate gave
    him has filled John with energy!
[09:28] Kate
    The situation hasn't
    turned in our favor.
[09:30] Kate
    We can't run any further.
[09:32] John
    No, there's the mouth
    of the aqueduct.
[09:34] John
    Let's use that!
[09:35] John
    We can douse the scorches with water!
[09:38] John
    Nice idea!
[09:39] Kate
    How would we do that?
[09:41] John
    Well...
[09:42] John
    We could make
    buckets out of soot.
[09:44] John
    Another nice idea!
[09:46] Kate
    The water would just wash the soot away!
[09:51] Kate
    John!
[09:55] Kate; internal
    How can we survive this crisis?
[09:58] Kate; internal
    One, drop them into the
    aqueduct one by one...
[10:02] Kate; internal
    Two, attack with soot powers to
    decrease their numbers straightaway...
[10:06] Kate; internal
    Or three, wait for Emilico
    and Shaun to arrive?
[10:10] John
    Come on! John will smack you
     down into the aqueduct!
[10:17] John
    Ow! It's so hard!
[10:21] John
    Could this be what they
    called a "high-density" one?
[10:24] John
    Is it because it was John's soot?
[10:28] John
    Now it's come to this...
[10:29] John
    To protect John's beloved Kate,
[10:31] John
    he will put all his strength into
    a John Punch and blow them all away!
[10:34] Kate
    Don't use all your strength
    against just one of them!
[10:38] Kate; internal
    One and two won't work.
[10:40] Kate; internal
    As long as Maryrose is around,
    she can just make more scorches.
[10:44] Kate; internal
    And next time, John really won't
    be able to move afterwards.
[10:46] Kate; internal
    Which leaves number three.
[10:49] Kate; internal
    It seems too obvious.
[10:51] Kate; internal
    We don't know what Emilico
    and Shaun's situation is.
[10:55] Kate; internal
    And we've strayed far from
    our agreed meeting place.
[10:59] John
    Kate! Don't let yourself worry!
[11:03] John
    If you emit soot, our position
    here will be revealed.
[11:06] John
    You need to keep a cool head.
[11:08] Kate
    That's it, John!
[11:10] John
    Huh?
[11:11] Kate
    Let's go cool our heads!
[11:20] Kate
    Oh, honestly. This is the worst!
[11:23] Kate
    It's cold, and Kate's
    clothes are soaked.
[11:26] Kate
    It feels disgusting.
[11:27] John
    Should John carry
    you on his shoulders?
[11:29] Kate
    No!
[11:31] John
    Blast it.
[11:32] John
    They're still watching us from
    the edge of the aqueduct.
[11:35] John
    Kate, what's our next move?
[11:37] Kate
    Well...
[11:39] Kate
    This aqueduct brings water from the
    outside for the use of Shadows House.
[11:42] Kate
    It splits a few times up ahead...
[11:45] Kate
    branching toward the vegetable
    garden and the main house.
[11:47] Kate
    And beyond that, it should continue
    all the way to the fountain garden.
[11:51] Kate
    No matter what we do,
[11:53] Kate
    we'll have to briefly leave the
    aqueduct and use the stairs.
[11:56] John
    And they'll definitely be watching
     for that opportunity to attack us.
[12:01] John
    Right, then!
[12:02] John
    We're headed for the
    main house, right?
[12:04] John
    Even from the aqueduct,
[12:05] John
    if we shout loud enough,
    the Star Bearers might notice!
[12:11] Kate
    The whole reason we're
    in this mess to begin with...
[12:14] Kate
    is because the Star Bearers
    falsely accused Kate of a crime.
[12:18] Kate
    This isn't amusing in the least!
[12:20] Kate
    We're heading for
    the fountain garden!
[12:22] Kate
    If you use your John Punch with exactly
    the right timing, we'll beat them!
[12:26] John; internal
    John doesn't quite understand,
[12:27] John; internal
    but is Kate thinking of him
    as her secret weapon?
[12:30] John
    All right!
[12:31] John
    John will put everything
    he's got into one punch!
[12:38] Kate; internal
    We haven't seen Maryrose
    up to this point.
[12:41] Kate; internal
    Is that simply because she
    can't touch us in the aqueduct?
[12:44] Kate; internal
    Emilico...
[12:46] Kate; internal
    If you're making a move right now,
[12:47] Kate; internal
    I hope you'll be able to
    figure out my destination.
[12:53] Shaun
    What was that noise?
[12:55] Shaun
    Can you see anything, Emilico?
[13:00] Emilico
    There are a few scorches
    next to the aqueduct...
[13:03] Emilico
    but I don't see Mistress Maryrose
     or Mistress Kate.
[13:07] Shaun
    As we thought,
    they must be being chased.
[13:09] Shaun
    We have to make sure
    we aren't found, either.
[13:15] Shaun
    I wonder if this means that
    the soot bridge plan failed.
[13:22] Shaun
    We tried heading toward
    the soot that went up earlier,
[13:25] Shaun
    but it seems we're too late.
[13:27] Emilico
    Oh! At the edge of the aqueduct!
[13:31] Emilico
    Mistress Kate's handkerchief
    and a bit of bread?
[13:36] Shaun
    Why would Mistress Kate have bread?
[13:38] Emilico
    I had it ready for her!
[13:40] Emilico
    See? I have some, too!
[13:42] Emilico
    Oh!
[13:43] Emilico
    With all that rolling around earlier,
    it's been squashed really flat!
[13:46] Shaun
    Well, we know that
    they were here.
[13:50] Shaun
    But what message
    was she trying to convey?
[13:54] Emilico
    They must have gone
    into the aqueduct!
[13:56] Emilico
    And they left the bread behind because
    they didn't want it to get ruined.
[13:59] Shaun
    Oh, no!
[14:01] Shaun
    Those scorches earlier...
[14:02] Shaun
    Could it be...
[14:03] Emilico; Shaun
    They were after Mistress Kate
     and Master John?
[14:09] Shaun
    What? You keep things in there?
[14:12] Emilico
    It's the map from when
    we were exploring.
[14:14] Emilico
    We added to it in preparation
    for tonight's undertaking.
[14:17] Emilico
    Let's check the information
    on the gardens!
[14:20] Emilico
    Even if we go back
    along the same route,
[14:22] Emilico
    we won't make it in time.
[14:24] Shaun
    This aqueduct goes to the vegetable gardens,
    the main house, and the fountain garden.
[14:30] Shaun
    If we can figure out where Mistress Kate
    and Master John are heading,
[14:32] Shaun
    we might be able to catch up
     by traveling overground.
[14:35] Shaun
    And there are three options...
[14:37] Shaun
    What is it?
[14:39] Emilico
    When I imagine Mistress Kate
    walking through the aqueduct...
[14:44] Emilico
    with her clothes soaked,
    she must be freezing!
[14:47] Emilico
    She might catch a cold!
[14:50] Emilico
    I'm so worried for her!
[14:53] Shaun
    That's what you're worried about?
[14:56] Shaun; internal
    It's just like Emilico
    to be that way.
[15:11] Kate
    Here we go! John,
    you come after!
[15:14] John
    Understood!
[15:16] Kate; narration
    First, I'll draw the scorches' attention...
[15:18] Fake Kate
    Over here!
[15:20] Kate; narration
    ...and lead them to the
    edge of the fountain!
[15:27] Fake John
    Kate!
[15:33] Fake John
    Kate!
[15:34] Fake John
    Hold on just a little longer!
[15:38] John; narration
    And then, the last move is smashing
    the fountain with a John Punch!
[15:42] Fake John
    The spray of water will
    catch them all at once!
[15:50] Fake John
    Huh?
[15:53] Fake John
    How?
[15:55] Fake John
    How can you already be here?
[15:59] Maryrose
    I can sense the movements
    of the scorches I control.
[16:05] Maryrose
    I arrived before you and set a phantom
    to wait for you by the fountain.
[16:11] Fake Kate
    Mary...rose...
[16:16] Maryrose
    Your lessons end here.
[16:21] Maryrose
    You chose wrongly, Kate.
[16:24] Maryrose
    You should have gone to the
    main house to seek help.
[16:31] Maryrose
    To the last, you insisted on
    a direct confrontation with me.
[16:36] Maryrose
    That is why you have lost.
[16:41] John
    John...
[16:42] John
    Punch!
[16:54] Maryrose
    It can't be!
[16:55] Maryrose
    How could John come
    from behind us?
[16:57] Maryrose
    Then the ones I captured are...
[17:08] Maryrose
    You painted your bodies
    with soot and traded places?
[17:11] Kate
    It's over, Maryrose.
[17:25] Kate
    Emilico, Shaun, you really saved us.
[17:28] Kate
    And it's such a relief
    that you're unharmed.
[17:30] Emilico
    It's all thanks to your Mouth Full
    of Water Plan, Mistress Kate!
[17:34] Kate
    Still, it's amazing that you knew Kate
    was heading for the fountain garden.
[17:40] Kate
    We weren't able to leave any message
     other than the piece of bread.
[17:44] Shaun
    I thought you'd go to the house
    to ask for help, but Emilico...
[17:49] Emilico
    Mistress Kate, you were very angry
    at the Star Bearers' mistrust of you,
[17:54] Emilico
    so I knew that you wouldn't
    ask them for help.
[17:56] Emilico
    And if that were true,
    then to fight a phantom,
[17:59] Emilico
    I thought you might pick
    somewhere with lots of water!
[18:02] Emilico
    That's why we came here!
[18:04] Kate
    And thanks to that, we were able
    to meet up before Maryrose got here.
[18:08] Kate
    You knew exactly how Kate felt.
[18:11] Kate
    Thank you, Emilico.
[18:14] Emilico
    Well, I am Mistress Kate's face, after all!
[18:17] John; gurgling
    And...
[18:20] John; gurgling
    thanks to the roll Emilico
    made Kate carry with her...
[18:25] John; gurgling
    John was able to use his
     John Punch a second time.
[18:30] Emilico
    Master John's strength has run out
     in the middle of the fountain!
[18:34] John
    This makes you see John in a
     new light, doesn't it, Kate?
[18:37] Kate
    Yes, well.
[18:39] Kate
    Though, in your current state,
     it's a little difficult.
[18:43] Kate
    The improved John Punch plan
     was a wonderful idea.
[18:47] Kate
    Thank you, Shaun.
[18:49] Kate
    If not for your suggestion to switch places,
    we would likely have failed.
[18:53] Shaun
    No, that was thanks to Emilico, too.
[18:57] (Flashback) Emilico
    If it would keep Mistress Kate
     from catching a cold,
[18:59] (Flashback) Emilico
    I'd like her to switch
    her clothes for mine!
[19:03] Shaun
    Her saying that is what
     gave me the idea.
[19:06] Shaun
    Though, I did think that wearing your
    clothes would be presumptuous of us.
[19:10] Kate
    Not at all.
[19:11] Kate
    There is no need to be bound
    by the rules of Shadows House.
[19:15] Kate
    You are quite brilliant.
[19:16] John
    Shaun is John's face, after all.
[19:19] Kate
    You're just completely carefree, aren't you?
[19:22] Kate
    Also, you two were very good
    at imitating Kate and John.
[19:26] Emilico; Shaun
    Thank you!
[19:29] Kate
    In the end,
[19:30] Kate
    the strategies Kate thought up
     on her own weren't any good.
[19:34] Kate
    Truly, thank you, Emilico...
[19:37] Kate
    Shaun...
[19:39] Kate
    and John.
[19:42] Kate
    You can't be serious!
[19:43] Kate
    Your stomach is growling now?!
[19:46] John
    Wh-What else do you expect?
[19:48] John
    The energy from
    the roll has run out!
[19:49] Shaun
    Master John, now isn't
    really the time...
[19:51] John
    You too, Shaun?
[19:53] Emilico
    Ta-dah!
[19:55] Emilico
    We actually have one more roll!
[19:58] Shaun
    Emilico... is that edible?
[20:01] Emilico
    Huh? I'm sure it's delicious!
[20:03] John
    It's a celebration, right?
    Let's eat it together!
[20:05] Kate
    Kate doesn't need any.
[20:07] Emilico
    It's very flat, so it's
    easy to portion out!
[20:09] Emilico
    Four... No, six pieces!
[20:14] Maryrose
    Kate...
[20:16] Maryrose
    You have wonderful friends.
[20:18] Maryrose
    We, who were unable
    to make allies, have lost.
[20:22] Maryrose
    If you...
[20:24] Maryrose
    No, if all of you work together,
[20:26] Maryrose
    perhaps you will be able
    to change Shadows House.
[20:30] Maryrose
    The culprits behind the recent phantom
    disturbance were Maryrose and Rosemary.
[20:35] Maryrose
    Kate was not involved and
    so will be cleared of all suspicion.
[20:39] Maryrose
    This will be quite the
    achievement for all of you.
[20:41] Maryrose
    And I will accept my punishment.
[20:44] Maryrose
    Is that all right, Rosemary?
[20:48] Rosemary
    To be disposed of together with you
[20:50] Rosemary
    is all I could ever wish for.
[20:53] Kate; internal
    If I give Maryrose over
    to the Star Bearers,
[20:56] Kate; internal
    my value in their eyes will rise greatly.
[20:59] Kate; internal
    If I allow Maryrose to go free,
[21:01] Kate; internal
    then I will be punished as the culprit
    behind the phantom disturbance.
[21:06] Emilico
    Mistress Kate.
[21:09] Emilico
    Saving everyone who is brainwashed
    is your goal, isn't it, Mistress Kate?
[21:14] Emilico
    But...
[21:16] Emilico
    How can we possibly...
[21:18] Maryrose
    Do not pity us, Emilico.
[21:21] Maryrose
    We exposed many living dolls
    to the dangers of soot sickness.
[21:25] Maryrose
    And to cause further chaos,
[21:28] Maryrose
    we forced the Belles, who happened
    to be nearby, to break the coffee carafes.
[21:33] Maryrose
    All just to buy ourselves more time.
[21:38] Maryrose
    To get here, we've done many things
     that can never be forgiven.
[21:57] Kate; internal
    The next day,
[21:58] Kate; internal
    we handed Maryrose and Rosemary
    over to the Star Bearers.

[00:07] Maryrose
    For us both to be given the same
    clothes and put into similar rooms...
[00:12] Maryrose
    It's ironic, isn't it?
[00:14] Maryrose
    At last, the house is
    treating us the same way.
[00:19] Rosemary
    That's true.
[00:22] Rosemary
    I'm sorry.
[00:24] Rosemary
    I fell asleep for a little while.
[00:26] Rosemary
    Mistress Maryrose,
    were you able to rest at all?
[00:30] Maryrose
    No.
[00:31] Maryrose
    Being in this place made
    it impossible to sleep.
[00:34] Maryrose
    Honestly. You have nerves of steel.
[00:38] Maryrose
    Also, I didn't get a goodnight kiss.
[00:41] Rosemary
    Oh, dear. Did you feel lonely?
[00:44] Rosemary
    I should have sung you a lullaby.
[00:48] Maryrose
    Please don't.
[00:50] Maryrose
    I'm not a child any longer.

[01:05] Emilico
    Mistress Kate! You're awake!
[01:07] Emilico
    I'm so glad!
[01:08] Emilico
    Last night was quite an ordeal,
[01:10] Emilico
    so I was worried
    you might not wake up!
[01:15] Emilico
    This soot is as soft as a bed!
[01:19] Emilico
    I'm so sorry to make you use your soot
    powers when you're already so tired!
[01:23] Kate
    This much poses no difficulty.
[01:25] Kate
    Kate must hone her soot powers.
[01:27] Kate
    The adults are likely to be
    far stronger than Maryrose.
[01:31] Kate
    As we fought, she taught Kate something...
[01:34] Kate
    She said not to show enemies mercy.
[01:37] Emilico
    But she held back against me and Shaun.
[01:40] Kate
    And if she hadn't,
    we would have lost.
[01:43] Kate
    She truly was formidable.
[01:44] Emilico
    Yes.
[01:45] Emilico
    I'm certain that Master John
    will be exhausted today, too.
[01:52] Shaun; internal
    I readied a lot of food for his meal,
[01:56] Shaun; internal
    but he's not waking up.
[02:01] Kate
    By the way, what was that letter just now?
[02:08] Kate
    Thank you for inviting us here.
[02:11] Kate
    Your rooms are very large... and very lovely.
[02:16] Barbara
    The adults have given an order.
[02:18] Barbara
    It has been decided that Maryrose will
    be punished in Lord Grandfather's wing.
[02:24] Barbara
    Tonight, she will be turned over
    to the warden in the Passageway of Glory.
[02:28] Barbara
    As an interested party,
    Kate, you will bear witness.
[02:31] Kate
    The Passageway of Glory?
[02:32] Barbara
    The only passage connecting the children's wing
     to the adult wing. An elevated walkway.
[02:37] Kate
    Oh.
[02:38] Kate
    The passage we used
    on the way to the debut.
[02:44] Kate
    Is that...
[02:46] Kate
    a Star Bearer's medal?
[02:48] Kate
    Kate has never seen
    a shadow wearing one.
[02:52] Barbara
    There is no need for you
    to know about that.
[03:00] Kate
    We should be going.
[03:05] Barbara
    Kate...
[03:07] Barbara
    Thank you for stopping Maryrose.
[03:31] Maryrose
    Barbara...
[03:33] Maryrose
    Maryrose is sorry for
    breaking our promise.
[03:38] Barbara
    Barbara knows nothing of a promise
    made with the likes of you.
[03:43] Barbara
    Blast it! This is infuriating!
[03:52] (Flashback) Maryrose
    This is a promise.
[03:56] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Let us become adults together.
[03:59] (Flashback) Christopher
    You make a good pair, don't you?
[04:02] (Flashback) Christopher
    We've been waiting for
    newcomers with high aspirations.
[04:06] Barbara; narration
    Christopher was already respected
    throughout the children's wing.
[04:12] Barbara; narration
    Maryrose took an immediate liking to him,
[04:14] Barbara; narration
    and they talked together of
    the house's future nearly every day.
[04:20] (Flashback) Christopher
    Selections are generally made based
    on existing powers at the debut.
[04:24] (Flashback) Christopher
    This is where many
    shadows end up failing.
[04:27] (Flashback) Maryrose
    If they were to receive proper instruction...
[04:30] (Flashback) Christopher
    Shall we try doing it?
[04:32] (Flashback) Christopher
    Currently, Star Bearers have
    no responsibility to teach,
[04:36] (Flashback) Christopher
    but when Christopher becomes a Star Bearer,
[04:38] (Flashback) Christopher
    the children's wing will likely
    become more lively than it is now.
[04:41] Barbara; narration
    Their conversations were
    complicated and difficult to follow,
[04:45] Barbara; narration
    but Barbara was happy
    to be allowed into their circle.
[04:49] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    Edward isn't so sure about that.
[04:52] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    The house seeks capable
    shadows, does it not?
[04:55] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    Surely one should prioritize self-improvement
    over looking after those who are inferior?
[04:59] (Flashback) Barbara
    E-Edward...
[05:01] (Flashback) Barbara
    That isn't the way Christopher thinks.
[05:04] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    Pipe down, useless girl.
[05:06] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    If you have no opinion
    of your own, just keep quiet.
[05:09] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    It seems we have inferior
    types mixed in here as well.
[05:13] (Flashback) Christopher
    Edward, thank you for your
    direct and honest opinion.
[05:17] (Flashback) Christopher
    And you do have a point.
[05:19] (Flashback) Christopher
    But in the long run,
[05:21] (Flashback) Christopher
    these reforms will prove
    to be of service to the house.
[05:24] (Flashback) Christopher
    True, at first, there may
    be things which feel vexing.
[05:27] (Flashback) Christopher
    But we know of your brilliance,
    and that is why we want your help.
[05:38] (Flashback) Christopher
    Barbara...
[05:40] (Flashback) Christopher
    You are part of the first class of
    students in this educational reform.
[05:43] (Flashback) Barbara
    What?
[05:43] (Flashback) Christopher
    Together with Maryrose.
[05:45] (Flashback) Christopher
    Your abilities have already been
    acknowledged by the house.
[05:49] (Flashback) Christopher
    You've debuted.
[05:50] (Flashback) Christopher
    You should be more confident.
[05:54] (Flashback) Barbara
    Thank you so much!
[05:55] (Flashback) Barbara
    Please show Barbara the way!
[05:57] (Flashback) Christopher
    Show the way? You're a
     bit dramatic, aren't you?
[06:00] (Flashback) Christopher
    You and Christopher
    are friends, right?
[06:05] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Christopher will change
    the house as one of its leaders.
[06:09] (Flashback) Maryrose
    All Star Bearers receive invitations,
     but his will be especially significant.
[06:15] (Flashback) Barbara
    Um, are Maryrose and Christopher...
[06:19] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Hm?
[06:20] (Flashback) Barbara
    A-Are you courting?
[06:27] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Rest easy.
[06:28] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Our relationship is not like that.
[06:30] (Flashback) Barbara
    What? Rest easy?
[06:31] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Isn't it you, Barbara,
    who thinks of Christopher as...
[06:34] (Flashback) Barbara
    What?
[06:35] (Flashback) Barbara
    It would be far too presumptuous for
    Barbara to view him romantically!
[06:39] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara admires him.
[06:41] (Flashback) Barbara
    And she thought that the two of
    you suited each other well, that's all.
[06:44] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara respects you
    very much, too, Maryrose.
[06:47] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Even though you and Maryrose are peers?
[06:50] (Flashback) Barbara
    After all, you came first at
    our debut, and Barbara was second.
[06:55] (Flashback) Maryrose
    There is no difference between us.
[06:58] Barbara; narration
    And just as we expected...
[07:00] Barbara; narration
    Christopher became a Star Bearer
    along with his peers.
[07:05] (Flashback) Christopher
    We will hold regular instructor's meetings
     with all those gathered here.
[07:09] (Flashback) Christopher
    Starting now, we can finally dedicate
     our efforts to instructing newcomers.
[07:13] (Flashback) Christopher
    We will each teach them our
    specialties in the pastime rooms.
[07:17] (Flashback) Christopher
    No one surpasses Edward
    in literacy and music.
[07:20] (Flashback) Christopher
    If you would?
[07:21] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    Edward has no choice, it seems.
[07:29] (Flashback) Barbara
    That's incredible, Barbie!
[07:31] (Flashback) Barbara
    It's as if Barbara has
    become healthier too!
[07:34] (Flashback) Christopher
    That really was incredible!
[07:36] (Flashback) Barbara
    Master Christopher!
[07:37] (Flashback) Christopher
    Please do not use "master"
    with Christopher, Barbara.
[07:40] (Flashback) Christopher
    Barbie can become a sports instructor!
[07:42] (Flashback) Barbara
    What?
[07:43] (Flashback) Barbara
    But a living doll as an instructor?
[07:46] (Flashback) Christopher
    Let's try everything we can.
[07:48] (Flashback) Christopher
    Christopher has previously noticed
[07:49] (Flashback) Christopher
    that Shadows and their living dolls don't
    always share the same characteristics.
[07:54] (Flashback) Christopher
    And since you have so much soot, Barbara,
    it's easy for you to exhaust yourself.
[07:58] (Flashback) Christopher
    You should build up your endurance, too.
[08:00] (Flashback) Barbie
    All right! Let's go running!
[08:05] (Flashback) Ben
    You're too fast, Barbie!
[08:07] (Flashback) Barbie
    Ben, you're doing well!
[08:09] (Flashback) Barbie
    I know you can still keep going!
[08:10] (Flashback) Ben
    Huh?
[08:11] (Flashback) Ben
    Mistress Barbara is running,
    too, isn't she?
[08:15] (Flashback) Ben
    Don't you need
    to stay by her side?
[08:17] (Flashback) Barbie
    What? Well, I mean, just look.
[08:21] (Flashback) Barbara
    Christopher!
[08:22] (Flashback) Barbara
    There's no need for you to
    stay with Barbara!
[08:25] (Flashback) Christopher
    Christopher is worried
    about your health.
[08:28] (Flashback) Christopher
    You seem the type to overwork
    yourself from trying too hard.
[08:30] (Flashback) Christopher
    You don't have to worry.
    It's all right to rest.
[08:32] (Flashback) Susanna
    And if things get too hard,
    Susanna will kindly pat you!
[08:36] (Flashback) Barbara
    Oh! You're the newcomer... Susanna?
[08:39] (Flashback) Christopher
    Aileen is training her for the first-aid team.
[08:41] (Flashback) Christopher
    She can be quite forceful.
[08:44] (Flashback) Shadow Edward
    This new group is full
    of problem children!
[08:47] (Flashback) Christopher
    He renovated the soot removal room
    without permission, causing chaos?
[08:51] (Flashback) Christopher
    Well, that in itself isn't good, 
    but it is impressive!
[08:55] (Flashback) Christopher
    Let's have him train with
    Gerald in the research team!
[08:59] (Flashback) Maryrose
    When Christopher receives an invitation,
[09:01] (Flashback) Maryrose
    it will be difficult for anyone else
    to win over these young ones.
[09:05] (Flashback) Christopher
    Maryrose and Barbara are here
    to carry on Christopher's wishes,
[09:07] (Flashback) Christopher
    so Christopher isn't
    worried about a thing.
[09:10] Barbara; narration
    The Star Bearer's medal had probably
    never shone so brightly before.
[09:16] Barbara; narration
    We were the greatest generation.
    Everyone was happy.
[09:20] Barbara; narration
    But...
[09:22] Barbara; narration
    Christopher's invitation
    changed everything.
[09:43] (Flashback) Barbara
    Maryrose, please come out.
[09:47] (Flashback) Barbara
    Why have you suddenly
    lost all your motivation?
[09:51] (Flashback) Barbara
    No one comes to the instructor meetings
    or conversation parties anymore.
[09:56] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara can't do it alone.
[10:00] (Flashback) Barbara
    But...
[10:01] (Flashback) Barbara
    If you were there,
    Maryrose, then everyone...
[10:04] (Flashback) Barbara
    It would be like before.
[10:06] (Flashback) Barbara
    Maryro—
[10:07] Maryrose
    Barbara...
[10:09] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Sorry, but Maryrose isn't
    in the mood for that.
[10:13] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose doesn't want
    to become an adult.
[10:25] (Flashback) Barbara
    Christopher... Maryrose...
[10:29] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara had the wrong
    idea about everything.
[10:32] (Flashback) Barbara
    There isn't a single thing that
    Barbara can do on her own.
[10:36] (Flashback) Barbie
    Mistress Barbara! That isn't true!
[10:39] (Flashback) Barbara
    All of it was for nothing!
[10:47] (Flashback) Barbara
    No...
[10:48] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbara didn't mean to...
[10:51] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbie?
[10:53] (Flashback) Barbara
    Barbie!
[10:58] (Flashback) Thomas
    I'll get straight to the point.
[11:01] (Flashback) Thomas
    You cannot become an adult.
[11:04] Barbara; narration
    It was the first time since the debut
[11:06] Barbara; narration
    that we'd been called
    to Lord Grandfather's wing.
[11:10] (Flashback) Thomas
    You know why, don't you?
[11:13] (Flashback) Thomas
    Your face has been grievously wounded.
[11:16] (Flashback) Barbara
    Thomas...
[11:18] (Flashback) Barbara
    For a living doll to be
     ordering Barbara around...
[11:20] (Flashback) Barbara
    she must now be seen as
     truly worthless. Is that right?
[11:23] (Flashback) Thomas
    I am not a living doll.
[11:27] (Flashback) Thomas
    You should use "master"
    when addressing an adult.
[11:29] Barbara; narration
    Fusion.
[11:31] Barbara; narration
    That is what it meant to become an adult.
[11:35] Barbara; internal
    If only we could have met one last time...
[11:38] (Flashback) Thomas
    Normally, you'd be disposed of.
[11:40] (Flashback) Thomas
    However...
[11:41] (Flashback) Thomas
    An exception has been made,
     just this once,
[11:45] (Flashback) Thomas
    since Christopher has such
    high hopes for you.
[11:49] (Flashback) Barbara
    Christopher?
[11:51] (Flashback) Thomas
    There are two conditions.
[11:53] Barbara; internal; present
    The first was to preserve
    order among the children.
[11:58] Barbara; internal; present
    The second was the full recovery
    of Barbara's face for fusion.
[12:02] Barbara; internal; present
    The system changed.
[12:04] Barbara; internal; present
    Being a Star Bearer was no longer
    the first step toward an invitation.
[12:07] Barbara; internal; present
    Instead, it meant being an
    educator in the children's wing.
[12:12] (Flashback) Barbara; past
    Barbara can't wear this medal yet...
[12:15] (Flashback) Barbara; past
    not until she becomes like Christopher.
[12:19] Barbara; internal; present
    The selection of the other
    Star Bearers was entrusted to Barbara.
[12:23] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose doesn't want to become an adult.
[12:27] Barbara; narration
    Barbara parted ways with Maryrose.
[12:30] Barbara; narration
    Maryrose no longer had any intention
    of carrying on Christopher's wishes.
[12:35] Barbara; narration
    Since then,
[12:35] Child A
    The Star Bearers are here!
[12:36] Barbara; narration
    no matter what anyone has said,
    Barbara has maintained complete control.
[12:37] Child B
    They're scary!
[12:39] Barbara; narration
    Barbara has been able to try this hard
    because she has something she believes in.
[12:42] (Flashback) Barbara
    Blast it! This is infuriating.
[12:45] Barbara; narration
    One day, when the scar is healed,
[12:47] Barbara; narration
    Barbara can become an adult.
[12:48] Barbara; narration
    That way, she'll be able
    to see Christopher again.
[12:52] Barbara; narration
    When that happens...
[12:53] Barbara; narration
    will he praise Barbara?
[13:03] Edward
    This letter of consent
    for the handover...
[13:05] Edward
    It's quite formally written, I must say.
[13:08] Barbara
    Master Edward...
[13:10] Barbara
    Our response was delayed by the mistaken
    information that Kate was a threat.
[13:15] Barbara
    Would it be possible to stop manipulating
    the Star Bearers according to your whims?
[13:21] Edward
    Putting on the airs of a
    worthy leader, are we?
[13:24] Edward
    Never mind.
[13:25] Edward
    I praise you for finding the culprit.
[13:30] Edward
    Maryrose...
[13:32] Edward
    It seems you were a
    rebellious element, after all.
[13:35] Edward
    Later, you will tell us
    everything in great detail.
[13:38] Edward
    To think that the powers
    you'd kept hidden
[13:41] Edward
    allowed you to control the soot
    of others and create phantoms.
[13:45] Edward
    Phantoms...
[13:47] Edward
    That story Christopher made up
     so that the children would clean.
[13:51] Edward
    If he knew his tall tale ended up causing
    so much division in the children's wing,
[13:55] Edward
    he would weep.
[13:58] Barbara
    Why isn't it Christopher?
[14:02] Barbara
    The warden of the children's wing...
[14:05] Barbara
    should be Christopher!
[14:07] Edward
    Do not pry into
    the affairs of adults.
[14:10] Edward
    Lord Grandfather chose me.
[14:22] Maryrose; internal
    Barbara doesn't know anything.
[14:25] Maryrose; internal
    I'm sorry, Barbara.
[14:28] Maryrose; narration
    I retain my memories
    from when I was a morph.
[14:32] Maryrose; narration
    I thought that made me freer than
    anyone else, and gave me more choices.
[14:37] Maryrose; narration
    Where did I go wrong?
[14:40] Maryrose; narration
    If it meant experiencing this anguish...
[14:43] Maryrose; narration
    Then was breaking Anthony's
    brainwashing the right thing to do?
[14:49] (Flashback) Anthony
    It's a strange feeling.
[14:51] Maryrose; narration
    Before Barbara and the new Star Bearer
    order started to hold rejoicing parties...
[14:57] Maryrose; narration
    Coffee was provided once a week
    with meals in an individual's rooms.
[15:02] Maryrose; narration
    The rule was that living dolls would
    recite their instructions themselves.
[15:06] Maryrose; narration
    Having learned of the brainwashing,
[15:09] Maryrose; narration
    it was a simple thing for me
    to keep them from drinking the coffee.
[15:12] (Flashback) Maryrose
    It seems the brainwashing
    has worn off quite a bit, Anthony.
[15:16] (Flashback) Anthony
    Yes.
[15:17] (Flashback) Anthony
    It's as though the fog in my
    brain has cleared.
[15:20] (Flashback) Anthony
    The brainwashing may make
    management easier for the adults,
[15:23] (Flashback) Anthony
    but it means that children can't
    think deeply about anything.
[15:27] (Flashback) Maryrose
    That's true!
[15:28] (Flashback) Maryrose
    In that case, let's break
    everyone's brainwashing!
[15:30] (Flashback) Anthony
    Wait! We should
    be discreet about that.
[15:33] (Flashback) Anthony
    It isn't as though you want
    to start a rebellion, is it?
[15:35] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Of course not.
[15:37] (Flashback) Maryrose
    This life isn't a bad one, right?
[15:40] (Flashback) Anthony
    First, we should think of ways to have
    the adults reconsider the current system.
[15:45] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Just what you'd expect
    of Christopher's face!
[15:48] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Very admirable!
[15:49] (Flashback) Anthony
    Why did you want me and Rosemary
    to stop drinking the coffee?
[15:53] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Well...
[15:54] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose was lonely!
[15:56] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Since Maryrose is the only
    one who knows the secret...
[15:59] (Flashback) Maryrose
    First, Maryrose wanted Rosemary
    to feel the same way she did.
[16:03] (Flashback) Maryrose
    And if you're brainwashed,
    then jokes aren't funny, right?
[16:07] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose couldn't say,
    "Let's try sneaking out!"
[16:09] Anthony
    Soothing Mistress Maryrose
    must be difficult.
[16:09] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Or, "Why don't you try on
    Maryrose's clothes?"
[16:12] Rosemary
    Not at all.
[16:13] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Hey!
[16:14] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Stop whispering together, will you?
[16:16] (Flashback) Christopher
    But this could be a problem...
[16:18] (Flashback) Christopher
    Anthony is already so intelligent,
[16:21] (Flashback) Christopher
    and now he'll be able to
    use even more of his brain?
[16:23] (Flashback) Christopher
    Will Christopher really be
    able to manage as his master?
[16:26] (Flashback) Anthony
    Master Christopher,
    you are a splendid master.
[16:30] Maryrose; narration
    Amidst the greatest generation,
[16:32] Maryrose; narration
    Christopher's achievements were celebrated.
[16:34] Maryrose; narration
    And the secret star in the shadows
    was the living doll, Anthony.
[16:39] Maryrose; narration
    The fact that they could achieve so much
    with Anthony's brainwashing broken...
[16:45] Maryrose; narration
    It gave me a feeling of
    superiority at the time.
[16:51] (Flashback) Rosemary
    Master Christopher has received
    an invitation, hasn't he?
[16:55] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Yes.
[16:56] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Things are going to get busy.
[16:58] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Maryrose and the others will have
    to bring the children together in his stead.
[17:02] (Flashback) Rosemary
    And our allies who are free
    of the brainwashing are gone.
[17:07] (Flashback) Rosemary
    If we had Mistress Barbara, at least...
[17:09] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Stop saying that, Rosemary.
[17:10] (Flashback) Maryrose
    We discussed it with
    Christopher, didn't we?
[17:13] (Flashback) Maryrose
    We said that this secret would
    only be a burden for Barbara.
[17:17] (Flashback) Rosemary
    Who's there?
[17:21] (Flashback) Rosemary
    Anthony!
[17:23] (Flashback) Maryrose
    What's happened?
[17:24] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Didn't you go to Lord Grandfather's wing?
[17:29] (Flashback) Anthony
    I've learned why the
    brainwashing is necessary.
[17:33] (Flashback) Anthony
    Without it, no one would
    be able to accept the grave truth...
[17:38] (Flashback) Anthony
    We humans were brought here to offer
    our faces and bodies to the shadows.
[17:44] (Flashback) Anthony
    We are no more than vessels.
[17:47] (Flashback) Anthony
    Fusion...
[17:49] (Flashback) Anthony
    When Master Christopher
    learned of it, he...
[18:00] Maryrose; narration
    Christopher killed himself.
[18:03] Maryrose; narration
    What decision should I have made?
[18:06] Maryrose; narration
    At what point should I have realized the
    gravity of everything in order to save him?
[18:12] Maryrose; narration
    I couldn't find the answers.
[18:15] (Flashback) Barbara
    Maryrose, please come out.
[18:19] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Barbara...
[18:20] (Flashback) Barbara
    If you were there,
    Maryrose, then everyone...
[18:23] (Flashback) Barbara
    It would be like before.
[18:25] Maryrose; narration
    I wanted to speak to her in that moment.
[18:28] Maryrose; narration
    But...
[18:28] Maryrose; narration
    There were too many
    things I couldn't tell her.
[18:32] Maryrose; narration
    The distance between
    Barbara and myself,
[18:34] Maryrose; narration
    the span of a single door,
    was just too far.
[18:54] Edward
    Maryrose...
[18:55] Edward
    When Barbara called me Edward just now,
[18:59] Edward
    you didn't react at all.
[19:02] Edward
    Isn't this form "Ed" to you?
[19:07] Edward
    We have confirmed that information
    about the fusion process has been leaked.
[19:11] Edward
    That means there must be an informer.
[19:15] Edward
    You will cough up who it is,
    and we will catch them.
[19:18] Edward
    Be ready.
[19:20] Edward
    And do not underestimate adults.
[19:22] Maryrose
    Stepping past the halfway point
    in the Passageway of Glory
[19:26] Maryrose
    means that we're now in
    Lord Grandfather's wing, doesn't it?
[19:30] Maryrose
    There's no going back now.
[19:46] Edward
    What is this?
[19:48] Edward
    This tremendous quantity of soot...
[19:50] Edward
    Where did you plant it?!
[19:55] Maryrose
    This is the domain of the adults!
[19:57] Maryrose
    Which means that if trouble occurs,
[20:00] Maryrose
    it will be seen as your fault, Edward!
[20:04] Barbara
    Maryrose!
[20:05] Benjamin
    We will all stop her together!
[20:08] Susanna
    Oh! Kate, you stay here,
    would you?
[20:11] Susanna
    No one but Star Bearers must ever
    enter the Passageway of Glory!
[20:16] Maryrose
    I would never forget Ed!
[20:20] Maryrose
    Taking over Ed's body so you could live...
[20:22] Maryrose
    Do you truly think
    nothing of it, Edward?!
[20:26] Edward
    Using the phantom disturbances
     to stir up trouble,
[20:28] Edward
    defying the adults...
[20:30] Edward
    and now damaging the
    Passageway of Glory itself...
[20:32] Edward
    This goes beyond a simple lack of
     devotion to Lord Grandfather.
[20:36] Edward
    Has the coffee not accumulated
    in her system enough?
[20:40] Rosemary
    Mistress Maryrose!
[20:48] Maryrose; internal
    Is this Edward's soot power?
[20:54] Edward
    Edward's power is to vibrate
    the air using soot to manipulate sound.
[21:00] Edward
    I'm sure the soot placed in your ears must
     be ringing most dreadfully right now.
[21:04] Edward
    Oh...
[21:05] Edward
    Apologies.
[21:06] Edward
    You can't hear, can you?
[21:14] Edward
    This is the difference
    in our strengths.
[21:16] Edward
    Becoming an adult heightens
    one's soot powers as well.
[21:19] Edward
    The world of adults which I so admired
    as a child was exactly as I'd imagined it.
[21:27] Maryrose
    The world of adults which you'd admired?
[21:29] Maryrose
    If you thought I'd envy you, you're wrong.
[21:32] Maryrose
    If something is only gained through
     the sacrifice of something precious,
[21:35] Maryrose
    what value could it possibly have?
[21:38] Maryrose
    If it means having to go
    through fusion, then...
[22:05] lyric
    Traveling through
    a jumbled labyrinth...
[22:10] lyric
    Over and over
[22:14] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[22:19] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[22:23] lyric
    A vanished smile
[22:25] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[22:28] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[22:32] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[22:37] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[22:43] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[22:48] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[22:53] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:57] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[23:01] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[23:06] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[23:10] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[23:15] lyric
    Again and again
[23:19] lyric
    I'll wish on a star

    This isn't the Star Bearers' responsibility!

[02:26] Emilico
    Mistress Maryrose?!
[02:28] Kate
    No, it can't be.
[02:32] Master Robe; Anthony
    Kate, who possesses memories of the past.
[02:35] Master Robe; Anthony
    Emilico, who has broken free
    of the brainwashing.
[02:37] Master Robe; Anthony
    I have high hopes for both of you.
[02:40] Kate
    You...
[02:41] Kate
    Why have you entered
     Kate's rooms uninvited?
[02:43] Master Robe; Anthony
    I saw your battle with Maryrose last night.
[02:47] Master Robe; Anthony
    Kate, the methods by which you overcame
    every difficulty were magnificent.
[02:52] Master Robe; Anthony
    However...
[02:54] Master Robe; Anthony
    Even Maryrose, whom you found so formidable,
[02:57] Master Robe; Anthony
    stood no chance against Edward, even with
     the element of surprise during her transfer.
[03:01] Master Robe; Anthony
    Now you understand the tremendous difference
    in strength between adults and children.
[03:07] Master Robe; Anthony
    With your strength yet undeveloped,
[03:10] Master Robe; Anthony
    you stand to be swallowed
    by the malice of this house.
[03:13] Master Robe; Anthony
    Given your keen intellect,
    you must already realize this yourself.
[03:20] Kate
    Last night, she recounted
    events of the past for us.
[03:25] Kate
    Christopher's fate...
[03:26] Kate
    was truly regrettable.
[03:29] Kate
    But there was one thing
     which stood out to Kate.
[03:32] Kate
    One thing that Maryrose didn't tell us.
[03:35] Kate
    After Christopher killed himself...
[03:36] Kate
    where did the living doll he left behind go,
     and what became of him?
[03:45] Kate
    Anthony.
[03:48] Kate
    Now all of the questions concerning the second
     phantom disturbance have been answered.
[03:52] Kate
    Maryrose's phantoms can't move well enough
    to open the door to the soot pipes.
[03:58] Kate
    You were her accomplice, weren't you?
[04:00] Anthony
    Correct!
[04:02] Anthony
    I took the liberty of asking Maryrose
    to keep my identity secret in your talks,
[04:06] Anthony
    but you still arrived at the answer.
[04:08] Anthony
    Magnificent.
[04:09] Kate
    Aren't you worried about Maryrose?
[04:13] Anthony
    No.
[04:15] Anthony
    She and I have known
    each other for a long time,
[04:17] Anthony
    but in the end, we didn't
    share the same views.
[04:20] Anthony
    After all, once Maryrose
    received her invitation,
[04:23] Anthony
    she planned to throw herself off the balcony
    to declare her refusal to be fused, right?
[04:28] Anthony
    I have no interest in those who do
    not have the will to keep fighting.
[04:33] Anthony
    But when you heard her plan,
[04:36] Anthony
    you frantically thought up ideas
    to help Maryrose and Rosemary escape.
[04:40] Anthony
    By using your powers,
[04:42] Anthony
    you could pad soot with air
    to give it the elasticity of a cushion.
[04:46] Anthony
    If you could catch them with that
    at the bottom of the cliff,
[04:48] Anthony
    their chances of survival
    would greatly improve.
[04:52] Anthony
    Not that we know
    how it worked out in practice.
[04:56] Anthony
    That said, while she had stocked up
     enough soot to destroy the hallway,
[05:00] Anthony
    there wouldn't have been enough
     to create a cushion, too.
[05:03] Anthony
    I'm in awe of you, Kate.
[05:05] Anthony
    The remaining soot needed...
[05:07] Anthony
    you supplied yourself.
[05:09] Anthony
    And it was an incredible amount.
[05:12] Anthony
    The willingness you demonstrated
     to step up and save those in trouble...
[05:16] Anthony
    It shows that you have
     the makings of a leader.
[05:21] Anthony
    To make me feel that way
    in just two days is quite a feat!
[05:24] Kate
    Kate didn't do it to receive recognition.
[05:28] Kate
    If there was any chance they could be saved,
    Kate had to try! That's all!
[05:31] Kate
    If you've known someone for a long time,
[05:33] Kate
    wouldn't you try to find any
    possible means of saving them?
[05:36] Kate
    If nothing else,
    Maryrose trusted Christopher!
[05:40] Kate
    What about you, Anthony?
[05:44] Anthony
    I am human.
[05:46] Anthony
    There are limits to what those
    who are not shadows can do.
[05:51] Anthony
    "If I'm to be caught
    and killed in any case,"
[05:53] Anthony
    "then I want to at least
    strike back at the house."
[05:56] Anthony
    I do respect Maryrose and
     Rosemary feeling that way.
[06:00] Anthony
    And I was the one who carried
    the soot over the soot pipes.
[06:03] Anthony
    When I heard your escape plan, I even
    readied food and other things for them.
[06:07] Kate
    You are full of mysteries.
[06:10] Kate
    After Christopher killed himself,
[06:12] Kate
    how did you escape and return here?
[06:14] Kate
    And where have you been
    hiding all this time?
[06:17] Kate
    What is it that you're after?
[06:19] Anthony
    I believe our goals are the same.
[06:23] Anthony
    For that purpose, you must
     become even stronger,
[06:26] Anthony
    and we need more information.
[06:28] Anthony
    If you would become my student,
[06:30] Anthony
    then the day when we
    command the children's wing
[06:32] Anthony
    and stand against
    the house will surely come.
[06:41] Anthony
    You need me.
[06:46] Kate
    Wait! Where are you going?
[06:53] Emilico
    H-He disappeared!
[06:56] Emilico
    But there isn't an exit.
[06:57] Emilico
    How could he have?
[06:59] Kate; internal
    Maryrose didn't call Anthony her ally.
[07:03] Kate; internal
    "Our goals are the same." That may be true.
[07:06] Kate; internal
    But something is nagging at me.
[07:09] Kate; internal
    Anthony...
[07:10] Kate; internal
    What is he thinking?
[07:13] Emilico
    Mistress Maryrose and Rosemary...
[07:16] Emilico
    I'm sure they're alive and have
    escaped to somewhere safe, right?
[07:19] Kate
    Yes.
[07:21] Kate
    Let's believe in them.
[07:23] Kate
    Kate still has things
    she wishes to think over,
[07:26] Kate
    but she'll do that tomorrow.
[07:31] Emilico
    Good morning!
[07:34] Emilico
    Today, it's even brighter
    than usual outside.
[07:39] Emilico
    Oh! Mister Bird!
[07:48] Emilico; internal
    A dream?
[07:49] Emilico; internal
    That's the first time
    I've dreamed since I came here.
[07:53] Emilico; internal
    It must have been a dream from
    when I lived in the village...
[07:56] Emilico; internal
    from before I was brought to Shadows House.
[08:00] Emilico; internal
    The me who lived in the village
    woke with light shining down on her.
[08:06] Emilico; internal
    Could a life like that truly have existed?
[08:09] Emilico; internal
    When you're made to sleep in a little box,
[08:13] Emilico; internal
    it makes you begin to think
    that you really are a doll.
[08:18] Mia
    Emilico!
[08:20] Mia
    Didn't you hear the summoning bell?
[08:21] Mia
    Hurry up and come out!
[08:23] Emilico
    I'll be right there!
[08:28] Emilico; narration
    After I return from the morning cleaning,
[08:30] Emilico; narration
    I clean Mistress Kate's rooms.
[08:33] Emilico; narration
    Then I help Mistress Kate dress.
[08:35] Emilico; narration
    After that is my work as her face.
[08:37] Emilico; narration
    Sometime during the morning
    is the Star Bearers' report,
[08:40] Emilico; narration
    and in the afternoon,
    I have to attend to Mistress Kate.
[08:43] Emilico; narration
    When we return to her rooms in the evening,
[08:44] Emilico; narration
    I tidy up and ready things for her to sleep.
[08:47] Emilico; narration
    After Mistress Kate retires for the night,
    I eat supper and finish any mending.
[08:51] Emilico; narration
    Then I can finally go to sleep.
[08:55] Emilico; internal
    It's what I've done all this time.
[08:57] Emilico; internal
    But... for some reason,
    I feel like I'm suffocating.
[09:01] Emilico
    It's tough being so busy
    every day, isn't it, Mia?
[09:04] Mia
    Honestly. Are you still saying such things?
[09:07] Mia
    We are tools of Shadows House.
[09:10] Mia
    We mustn't fret over trivial matters.
[09:12] Lou
    Don't think about anything
    other than what we've been told.
[09:15] Mia
    Exactly.
[09:16] Mia
    That is how an exceptional
    living doll behaves!
[09:19] Mia
    Since our team has lost one member,
[09:21] Mia
    I've become leader,
    as I've been here the longest!
[09:25] Liz (girl 1)
    This is the hall of cleaning implements.
[09:27] Liz (girl 1)
    This is where we living dolls gather.
[09:33] Emilico; narration
    When someone is lost,
    someone else replaces them.
[09:36] Emilico; narration
    No one thinks about the ones who are gone.
[09:39] Emilico; internal
    In this moment, are you excited
    about your life in this house?
[09:45] Emilico; internal
    The veiled dolls have lost their masters
    and wear mourning clothes.
[09:50] Emilico; internal
    How do they feel being here?
[09:53] Emilico; internal
    Or are they made to forget even that?
[09:56] Emilico; internal
    When I was under the
    coffee's brainwashing effects,
[09:59] Emilico; internal
    I never experienced these painful emotions.
[10:02] Emilico; internal
    If you drink it, you don't have to think,
    and you can just be happy.
[10:08] Emilico
    Good morning! Mistress Kate...
[10:12] Emilico
    There's a rag meant
    for the floor on the table.
[10:15] Emilico
    Someone started this without telling me?
[10:17] Emilico
    Why? And where is Mistress Kate?
[10:21] Kate
    Good morning, Emilico.
[10:23] Kate
    Kate started cleaning before you arrived.
[10:26] Kate
    When living dolls are brought to the house,
    they're made to live a harsh life
[10:29] Kate
    to keep them from thinking
    about things, right?
[10:32] Kate
    Kate wants to help Emilico
    as much as possible.
[10:35] Kate
    Because Kate wants Emilico
    to be bright and lively!
[10:39] Emilico
    Thank you so much!
[10:40] Emilico
    Then first, let's fix your apron.
[10:43] Kate
    What? Have the ties come loose?
[10:55] Emilico
    Wow!
[10:57] Emilico
    To think you can use soot powers that way!
[11:02] Kate
    A dream?
[11:04] Kate
    What kind of dream was it?
[11:05] Emilico
    I woke with sunlight on me
    and went to open a window myself.
[11:09] Emilico
    The outside gave me such a sense of freedom
    that I felt like I could go anywhere...
[11:14] Emilico
    but that was when I woke up.
[11:17] Kate
    Could that be a memory from your past?
[11:19] Kate
    Or was it just a dream?
[11:22] Kate
    In any case, it may be a good sign.
[11:25] Kate
    The effects of the coffee have grown weaker.
[11:28] Emilico
    But because of that, I keep drifting off
    and thinking about things I shouldn't.
[11:33] Kate
    Emilico.
[11:34] Emilico
    Huh?
[11:35] Kate
    You are free to think about anything,
    even things you shouldn't,
[11:37] Kate
    because you're human.
[11:40] Emilico
    I let myself be bound
    by the rules of living dolls!
[11:44] Kate
    Even though you're not brainwashed anymore,
    it's hard to know what to do, isn't it?
[11:48] Kate
    "Serve Shadows House as a living doll."
[11:52] Kate
    To make it harder to break
    the coffee-induced brainwashing,
[11:55] Kate
    a cyclic life where you aren't
    treated as humans was devised.
[11:59] Kate
    A room where no sunlight enters.
[12:01] Kate
    A box for a bed.
[12:02] Kate
    A workload that allows no time for thinking.
[12:05] Kate
    Insufficient sleep.
[12:08] Kate
    As you lose your human emotions,
    you cease to be conscious of your own life.
[12:12] Kate
    The living doll's transformation
    into a mere tool is complete.
[12:16] Kate
    And then, you will end up
    accepting fusion with a shadow.
[12:20] Emilico
    I'm so sorry, Mistress Kate!
[12:22] Kate
    What?
[12:23] Emilico
    "If I'm going to have to
    feel these things..."
[12:26] Emilico
    "Then maybe it would have been better
    for me to drink the coffee."
[12:29] Emilico
    I couldn't help thinking it.
[12:32] Kate
    The coffee is meant to numb you
    to the harshness of your life.
[12:36] Kate
    Without it, Emilico,
    you must be suffering greatly.
[12:38] Emilico
    But now I am able to clean
    together with you, Mistress Kate!
[12:42] Emilico
    And I can eat at the same table as you!
    It makes me very happy!
[12:50] Kate
    It's time to go to the great hall, isn't it?
[12:56] Barbara
    We have information to report.
[12:57] Barbara
    For the time being, all debuts
    and invitations have been postponed.
[13:01] crowd; adlib
    What? Really?
[13:03] Barbara
    Please, don't worry.
[13:05] Barbara
    It is only for as long as it takes to repair
    worn-down areas in the Passageway of Glory.
[13:09] Kate; internal
    "Worn-down areas"?
[13:11] Kate; internal
    Edward...
[13:12] Kate; internal
    So that's how he dealt with that incident.
[13:14] Barbara
    And now, as the number of people
    in the children's wing has changed again,
[13:19] Barbara
    we will reexamine the
    composition of the teams.
[13:21] Sarah
    Oh, Sarah can become a team leader at last!
[13:24] Sarah
    Since our team has lost a member,
    perhaps we'll get someone new!
[13:28] Kate
    Is it not possible that a team leader
    will be picked from another team?
[13:31] Sarah
    Sarah has contributed greatly for a long time,
    so Sarah will definitely be the leader.
[13:35] Barbara
    Come here...
[13:43] Barbara
    Isabelle.
[13:46] Barbara
    Isabelle and Mirabelle will join team ten.
[13:49] Sarah
    Th-That can't be right!
[13:51] Sarah
    The twins will be our leaders?
[13:53] Sarah
    And Mirabelle is absent from
    this very important briefing session!
[13:56] Barbara
    Do not interrupt unnecessarily.
[13:58] Barbara
    As they have all received punishment,
    they are no longer worthy of being leaders.
[14:03] Barbara
    And the reason Mirabelle is absent...
[14:06] Barbara
    is because a living doll
    has been disposed of.
[14:11] Emilico; internal
    Belle!
[14:13] Kate; internal
    Someone has fallen victim
    to this house yet again!
[14:16] Sarah
    Oh, w-well, then...
[14:18] Sarah
    What a relief. Of course
    that's the way of it.
[14:21] Barbara
    As a result,
[14:22] Barbara
    Elizabeth will transfer to team nine
    and be promoted to leader.
[14:26] Barbara
    And as hopes are high that this
    newcomer will pass her debut,
[14:28] Barbara
    we also plan to add her to the team.
[14:30] Barbara
    And the leader of team ten...
[14:34] Barbara
    will be you,
[14:36] Barbara
    Kate.
[14:44] Kate
    Barbara?
[14:46] Barbara
    This is Barbara's
    acknowledgment of you, Kate.
[14:51] Barbara
    The letter of consent Barbara drew up
    on your advice proved to be useful.
[14:56] Barbara
    Show us what more you can do
    in the future as team leader.
[15:00] Barbara
    And it is likely that we will make use
    of your wisdom again as an advisor.
[15:07] Barbara
    Barbara has high hopes for you.
[15:20] Emilico
    Mistress Kate has become our team leader!
[15:26] Kate
    Gaining Barbara's trust is
    a tremendous step forward,
[15:30] Kate
    not to mention the
    promotion to team leader.
[15:31] Kate
    Kate can put it to use
    in recruiting more allies.
[15:34] Emilico
    And it seems like we'll be able to
    obtain information through the Star Bearers!
[15:37] Kate
    No.
[15:38] Kate
    The coffee's effects have accumulated
     within the Star Bearers for too long.
[15:42] Kate
    Investigating them would seem suspicious.
[15:43] Kate
    First...
[15:44] Emilico
    We start with the members
    of our team, right?
[15:46] Kate
    Yes.
[15:47] Kate
    We must take this opportunity
    to unify our team,
[15:49] Kate
    while avoiding drawing attention.
[15:53] Kate
    Emilico, let's do our very best!
[15:58] Kate
    What? What is it?
[16:00] Emilico
    I'm so happy that Mistress Kate
    is finally receiving recognition!
[16:07] Emilico; internal
    If I know Mistress Kate...
[16:08] Emilico; internal
    She'll easily be able to make
    allies and lead the team, too!
[16:13] Emilico; internal
    Mistress Kate is our team leader!
[16:15] Emilico; internal
    Mistress Kate is our team leader...
[16:21] Emilico
    Does that mean that I'm team leader, too?!
[16:25] Emilico
    Huh? What should I do?
[16:27] Emilico
    What did Rosemary do?
[16:30] Emilico
    Oh! It would be terrible for me to be late!
[16:34] Emilico
    I'm sorry!
[16:36] Mia
    So, our team leader
    is late on her first day.
[16:39] Emilico
    Well, then! Let's start the morning cleaning!
[16:42] Lou
    Your hair is mussed from sleeping.
[16:44] Mia
    Hey...
[16:45] Mia
    One of us isn't here yet.
[16:48] Emilico
    Belle! It's time for morning cleaning.
[16:50] Belle A
    No!
[16:52] Belle A
    I don't want to go!
[16:53] Belle A
    I won't, ever!
[16:55] Emilico
    Ow!
[16:57] Emilico
    Huh? What's wrong?
[17:00] Lou
    She might think that she
    has to clean the soot pipes.
[17:03] Emilico
    Oh.
[17:06] Emilico
    It's all right. It's just regular cleaning.
[17:09] Emilico
    It isn't scary at all!
[17:12] Lou
    Our team leader has been entrusted
    with what seems to be a difficult task.
[17:20] Mia
    Emilico is late again this morning.
[17:22] Mia
    And yesterday, Belle ended up
    running back to her room.
[17:26] Mia
    It really is too soon
    for Emilico to be team leader.
[17:32] Emilico
    Oh! Mia, Lou, good morning!
[17:36] Mia
    Why are you being so easygoing?
     If we're late—
[17:38] Lou
    Mia...
[17:39] Lou
    It looks like Emilico arrived
    before us and started cleaning.
[17:42] Emilico
    I've gone ahead and organized our toolbox!
[17:46] Mia
    When yesterday you didn't
    know how to do anything?
[17:48] Emilico
    I remembered that Rosemary would look
    at the blackboard every morning!
[17:53] Emilico
    I saw that the cleaning schedule
    for each team is written there.
[17:57] Emilico
    All right, team ten! Move out!
[18:03] Mia
    It seems you understand a
    little of your job as team leader now,
[18:06] Mia
    but what are you planning
    to do about Belle not coming?
[18:10] Emilico
    This morning, I went
    to see how she was doing.
[18:13] Emilico
    I don't think that Belle should
    push herself too hard yet.
[18:15] Emilico
    I'd like to give her time to rest.
[18:18] Mia
    What?
[18:19] Mia
    The amount of cleaning we have to do
     can't be completed with just three of us!
[18:22] Mia
    If we let Belle rest and try
    to continue our team's assignments...
[18:25] Mia
    in the end, you, as team leader,
    will have to take responsibility, Emilico!
[18:28] Mia
    Our team will be treated
    as incompetent again!
[18:31] Emilico
    No, we will complete our cleaning.
[18:33] Emilico
    Because I'll do the work of two!
[18:36] Lou
    You can't do two people's
     work on your own, Emilico.
[18:39] Lou
    I'll work harder, too.
[18:41] Emilico
    Thank you!
[18:42] Mia; internal
    Belle is already broken.
[18:45] Mia; internal
    All of this hard work will be for nothing!
[18:48] Emilico
    Ta-dah!
[18:49] Emilico
    Today, I brought a stuffed doll that I made!
[18:52] Emilico
    If you have this, you won't feel lonely.
[18:55] Emilico
    I'll leave a letter here, too!
[18:56] Emilico
    Everyone in team ten
     wrote something for you.
[19:01] Emilico
    For the morning cleaning...
[19:02] Emilico
    To start with, just making an appearance
     will be enough, all right?
[19:13] Emilico
    Mia, morning cleaning isn't
    for a little while yet.
[19:17] Emilico
    I—
[19:17] Mia
    You're about to go to the
     team leader meeting, aren't you?
[19:19] Mia
    And I expect you'll request
    that they dispose of Belle.
[19:23] Mia
    She hasn't come out of
    her room for three days.
[19:25] Mia
    I've reached my limit.
[19:26] Mia
    If things continue this way,
[19:28] Mia
    the whole team will have
     to take responsibility.
[19:31] Mia
    And then Lou and I will become
    targets for disposal, too.
[19:34] Mia
    I trust you know that.
[19:40] Barbie
    Regarding the newly-appointed team leaders...
[19:43] Barbie
    Team nine's Liz is doing well.
[19:45] Barbie
    The problem is...
[19:47] Barbie
    team ten!
[19:49] Barbie
    According to reports,
[19:50] Barbie
    you are continuing your assignments
    with one member missing.
[19:53] Olly
    The reports say all their cleaning has
     been properly completed, though.
[19:59] Barbie
    Completing their cleaning
    doesn't make everything all right!
[20:01] Barbie
    Failing to function as a team violates
    the rules of the house!
[20:06] Barbie
    Sunshine...
[20:08] Barbie
    You have not gained my approval.
[20:11] Barbie
    But Mistress Barbara is the one
    who decides on the team leaders.
[20:16] Barbie
    She also decides who will be disposed of.
[20:18] Barbie
    I must report to her the evidence
    upon which she makes those decisions.
[20:22] Barbie
    Why hasn't Belle shown herself?
    Is she already broken?
[20:26] Emilico
    She is not broken!
[20:34] Barbie
    Are you listening?
[20:35] Barbie
    If those who can't abide by the rules in the
     children's wing are left to their own devices,
[20:39] Barbie
    it causes problems for Mistress Barbara.
[20:42] Emilico
    When they were cleaning the soot pipes...
[20:44] Emilico
    I once saw the Belles
    with faces filthy from soot.
[20:48] Emilico
    It must have been so difficult.
[20:51] Emilico
    And one of them even ended up breaking.
[20:54] Barbie
    That does not serve as justification for—
[20:55] Emilico
    But in spite of that...
[20:56] Emilico
    Belle's room is clean!
[20:59] Emilico
    She's definitely cleaning it!
[21:02] Emilico
    Right now, Belle is
[21:04] Emilico
    serving as the face of both Mistress
    Isabelle and Mistress Mirabelle.
[21:07] Emilico
    She's cleaning both of their rooms,
[21:09] Emilico
    so she can't think about anything
    outside of that. That's all!
[21:13] Emilico
    Please don't speak of
    disposing of her so easily.
[21:16] Emilico
    Belle is a member of my team.
[21:21] Emilico
    I won't lose another team member...
[21:26] Emilico
    ever again!
[21:29] lyric
    Traveling through a jumbled labyrinth...
[21:34] lyric
    Over and over
[21:38] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[21:43] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[21:47] lyric
    A vanished smile
[21:49] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[21:52] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[21:56] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[22:01] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[22:07] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[22:12] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[22:17] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:21] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[22:25] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[22:30] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[22:35] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[22:39] lyric
    Again and again
[22:43] lyric
    I'll wish on a star
[23:06] Kate; narration
    Everyone who lives in the children's wing...
[23:08] Kate; narration
    had a life they used to live.
[23:11] Kate; narration
    The more than fifty children
    who live in this wing right now...
[23:15] Kate; narration
    were all brought here to die.
[23:19] Emilico; narration
    They're unable to rely on anyone.
[23:20] Emilico; narration
    But the truth is that they're
    all just victims of the house.
[23:24] Emilico; narration
    If they would only open their eyes,
[23:26] EMilico; narration
    they'd become allies who would
    stand against Shadows House.
[23:36] Kate; Emilico; internal
    Shadows House...
[23:38] Kate; Emilico; internal
    is wrong!
