    "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.
