[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.
