**[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*
