[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.
