[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?
