[00:03] Kate
    Let's do this again sometime!
[00:05] Kate
    Kate will return to her rooms for today.
[00:07] John
    Are you sure?
[00:09] Kate
    Yes.
[00:10] Kate; internal
    Patrick and Louise shouldn't be forced
    to get involved in the phantom business.
[00:15] Kate; internal
    Just growing closer like this is enough.
[00:18] Kate; internal
    And I've managed to discover
    a little something to look forward to.
[00:22] Patrick
    Wait.
[00:24] Patrick
    What should we accomplish
    before the next time we meet?
[00:29] Patrick
    Regarding the phantom mystery.
[00:32] Louise
    Kate is more fun than Louise thought,
[00:34] Louise
    so Louise will go along with it, too.
[00:36] Patrick
    Patrick's pride will not allow him
    to receive things without giving in turn.
[00:41] Patrick
    Patrick will assist you.
[00:44] Patrick
    And we will discover the true culprit!
[00:52] everyone
    We swear it on our bonds as peers!
[01:09] lyrics
    In the face of sadness, we shall smile
[01:13] lyrics
    To live is to be a marionette
[01:17] lyrics
    Once your heart gets into the swing...
[01:21] lyrics
    Would you like a coffee?
[01:26] lyrics
    1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2
[01:28] lyrics
    1, 2, 2, 3
[01:29] lyrics
    I can't seem to dance very well
[01:32] lyrics
    Pain and resentment, and sadness, too...
[01:35] lyrics
    Mix them, knead them...
[01:39] lyrics
    And then a good night kiss
[01:43] lyrics
    Shall we Dance? We shall dance
[01:47] lyrics
    Despair and desire. This is the life!
[01:52] lyrics
    Shadow Life!
[01:53] lyrics
    Don't puzzle over things unnecessarily
[01:57] lyrics
    Let's become one
[01:59] lyrics
    How nice (How nice) How nice (How nice)
[02:03] lyrics
    Humans... Being human... It's so nice

[02:26] Louise
    Lou, please clean twice as quickly today!
[02:31] Louise
    We're going out as soon as you finish!
[02:33] Louise
    Kate has asked us to do something for her!
[02:36] Lou
    Mistress Kate?
[02:38] Louise
    Don't just stand there.
[02:40] Louise
    If you're done,
    ready everything for going out!
[02:44] Louise
    Louise found Kate boring because
     she was always asking for favors,
[02:48] Louise
    but our gathering
    was unexpectedly entertaining!
[02:51] Lou
    And that is why we're asking around?
[02:53] Louise
    Exactly!
[02:54] Louise
    If we're assessed highly,
    we might receive an invitation!
[02:59] Louise
    You there!
[03:01] Louise
    You've come from
    the training room, yes?
[03:03] Louise
    What sort of powers do you have?
[03:05] James
    Huh? And who are you?
[03:08] James
    Do you think James would
     actually tell you that?
[03:09] Louise
    Oh, don't say that.
[03:12] Louise
    There are all sorts of things
    we'd like you to tell us.
[03:16] Louise
    Louise is just a child, so she doesn't know.
[03:20] James
    W-Well then, James supposes he has no choice.
[03:23] Louise
    Louise placed first in her debut!
[03:26] Louise
    May she ask a few questions?
[03:29] Louise
    If you treat her so cruelly,
    Louise is going to cry!
[03:34] Louise
    Won't you teach Louise
    how you do your makeup?
[03:37] Louise
    And while you're at it...
[03:54] Louise
    Lou! Have you written everything out?
[03:57] Louise
    We gathered quite a lot of information
    on soot powers, don't you think?
[04:01] Louise
    Kate's request was so simple to fulfill!
[04:06] Louise
    Since Louise is so exceptional,
[04:07] Louise
    do you think she'll soon
    receive an invitation?
[04:09] Louise
    She is so looking forward to
    becoming an adult!
[04:11] Louise
    Louise is certain that she'll
    have lots of lovely clothes.
[04:14] Louise
    After all, Edward was just a living doll,
    and he was dressed very well.
[04:18] Louise
    And Louise will eat foods
    that are good for her beauty!
[04:22] Louise
    Oh, Louise wants her invitation
    to hurry up and come!
[04:25] Louise
    Do you think maybe it
     has already been sent?
[04:28] Louise
    Maryrose might know!
[04:30] Louise
    Let's go, Lou!
[04:35] Louise
    What's wrong?
[04:38] Lou
    It's nothing.
[04:40] Louise
    Are you all right?
[04:41] Louise
    You didn't injure your face?
[04:43] Lou
    No. I will be careful.
[04:53] Maryrose
    Well, this is a surprise.
[04:54] Maryrose
    To think you'd visit the rooms of
    a shadow in the absence of her face.
[04:58] Louise
    Is it strange?
[04:59] Louise
    Louise is simply curious about something.
[05:02] Maryrose
    Clearly, Maryrose
    is no match for you, Louise.
[05:04] Maryrose
    Maryrose's rooms are dirty.
[05:06] Maryrose
    Do you mind speaking here?
[05:07] Louise
    Then Louise will just ask:
    when one receives an invitation,
[05:10] Louise
    one then goes to live in
    Lord Grandfather's wing, correct?
[05:13] Maryrose
    That's right.
[05:14] Louise
    When faceless shadows successfully debut,
[05:17] Louise
    they become children
    with faces who have come of age!
[05:20] Louise
    And then, when they receive an invitation,
    they become adults!
[05:23] Maryrose
    Just as you say.
[05:25] Maryrose
    What is it you wish to ask about?
[05:27] Louise
    Has Louise been sent an invitation?
[05:30] Maryrose
    Only you would know the answer to that.
[05:33] Maryrose
    And it's something you're informed
    of unexpectedly the day before.
[05:37] Louise
    What does one do after being invited?
[05:39] Louise
    Is it a test, like the debut?
[05:41] Maryrose
    Maryrose doesn't know that, either.
[05:43] Maryrose
    And the particulars of the debut change
     according to the examiner's tastes.
[05:49] Louise; internal
    Edward has horrifying tastes!
[05:52] Louise
    Who was the last person
    to receive an invitation?
[05:55] Maryrose
    You wouldn't be acquainted
    with them, Louise.
[05:58] Maryrose
    Those shadows who have gone
    to Lord Grandfather's wing
[06:02] Maryrose
    must not be spoken of. It's the rule.
[06:04] Maryrose
    And those who have become
    adults never return here, anyway.
[06:08] Louise
    So, you don't know anything, then?
[06:11] Maryrose
    That's what being a child means.
[06:12] Maryrose
    And that's why everyone strives
    to become an adult.
[06:16] Maryrose
    If you wish to know more,
[06:17] Maryrose
    then you have no choice
    but to ask the Star Bearers.
[06:19] Louise
    The Star Bearers? What a good idea!
[06:22] Louise
    Then, Louise will be going now!
[06:25] Maryrose
    Well, she's quite the whirlwind.
[06:29] Maryrose
    Louise!
[06:32] Maryrose
    Faces should be treated with great care.
[06:41] Louise
    What was Maryrose talking about?
[06:44] Louise
    Louise does treat her face with care!
[06:47] Louise
    Right?
[06:49] Lou
    Yes, Mistress.
[07:17] Louise
    Oh! This place reeks of sweat!
[07:21] Louise; internal
    Oh, that's Benjamin, the person
    who threatened Maryrose!
[07:28] Benjamin
    What do you want?
[07:31] Benjamin
    If you've gone to the trouble of coming
    to the Star Bearers' residential wing, then...
[07:36] Louise; internal
    Hm?
[07:36] Louise; internal
    Perhaps he isn't so frightening?
[07:38] Louise; internal
    Louise simply needs to avoid
    mentioning Christopher, right?
[07:42] Louise
    The door wasn't locked.
[07:44] Louise
    Is there a rule saying
    that others shouldn't enter?
[07:46] Benjamin
    There is no such rule.
[07:50] Benjamin
    But as for you and John both,
[07:53] Benjamin
    you should stay out of Star Bearer business.
[07:56] Louise
    Say, what is that contraption?
     It's so strange!
[08:03] Benjamin
    It's an elbow-flexion-type
    upper-arm-load amplification machine.
[08:09] Benjamin
    One of Oliver's inventions.
[08:10] Louise
    Really?
[08:12] Louise
    Say, Louise wants to ask you something!
[08:15] Louise
    Has she been sent an invitation?
[08:18] Benjamin
    No idea.
[08:19] Louise
    Truly?
[08:21] Louise
    You're a Star Bearer,
    and even you don't know?
[08:23] Louise
    Wait. Do Star Bearers
    not receive invitations?
[08:29] Benjamin
    Don't fret over trivial matters.
[08:31] Louise
    Being an adult must be fun, don't you think?
[08:34] Louise
    Louise feels that a child's lifestyle
    is far too restrictive.
[08:39] Louise
    Say, do you train yourselves like
    that in order to intimidate everyone?
[08:44] Benjamin
    If one is not strong,
    one cannot protect anything.
[08:48] Louise
    Protect?
[08:50] Louise
    Being a Star Bearer seems
    like a lot of bother.
[08:53] Louise
    One can receive an invitation even
    without becoming a Star Bearer, right?
[08:57] Benjamin
    Yes, that's right.
[08:59] Louise
    In that case, Louise will not aim
    to become a Star Bearer!
[09:04] Benjamin
    That would be best.
[09:07] Louise
    Barbara, for example,
    seems to have to deal with quite a lot.
[09:13] Louise
    Oh, there's a mirror here!
[09:15] Louise
    Louise makes all sorts of expressions
    in front of the mirror, you see.
[09:19] Louise
    To practice appearing beautiful!
[09:23] Benjamin
    Possessing the desire
    to improve oneself is good.
[09:26] Benjamin
    But your face appears pale.
[09:30] Louise
    Really? We must fix her makeup at once!
[09:33] Benjamin
    That alone will not solve
    the fundamental issue.
[09:37] Benjamin
    Training is good for the body.
[09:40] Benjamin
    It improves the metabolism.
[09:43] Louise
    Does it? Then perhaps Louise will try it!
[09:59] Benjamin
    You aren't doing it?
[10:01] Louise
    What? But we are. Lou is doing it.
[10:04] Benjamin
    Even if your face trains, you won't change.
[10:10] Benjamin
    It seems you think that your living doll
    is no more than your face.
[10:15] Benjamin
    Louise, try doing it alongside her.
[10:18] Louise
    What?
[10:24] Louise
    Oh, this is impossible! Louise is exhausted!
[10:28] Benjamin
    Your face grows tired
    in exactly the same way.
[10:32] Benjamin
    Recognize her for the efforts
    of her body, not just as a face.
[10:36] Benjamin
    Do not err in the use of your tools.
[10:38] Louise
    What? But she's a living doll.
[10:42] Louise
    Louise will return to her rooms now.
[10:45] Benjamin
    Do that.
[10:47] Louise
    This was sort of fun! Thank you!
[10:56] Benjamin
    "Thank you," huh?
[11:01] Louise
    We didn't gain much information
    from Benjamin, did we?
[11:05] Louise
    What a failure.
[11:09] Louise
    Say, Lou... Are you tired?
[11:14] Lou
    I'm all right.
[11:16] Lou
    No...
[11:18] Lou
    I am a little tired.
[11:21] Louise
    What?! You've been lying?
[11:24] Louise
    If you don't say anything,
    how is anyone expected to know?
[11:28] Louise
    In that case, let's rest for today.
[11:42] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is forever worrying over things.
[11:45] Patrick; internal
    What should he say?
[11:47] Patrick; internal
    What should he do?
[11:50] Patrick
    Ricky, Patrick needs some advice.
[11:54] Ricky
    Please ask me anything.
[11:56] Patrick; internal
    In such moments, Ricky always
    provides a clear answer.
[12:04] Ricky
    Holding another midnight
    meeting of peers...
[12:07] Ricky
    That's quite bold.
[12:09] Ricky
    Well, now...
[12:13] Ricky
    We should agree to that proposal.
[12:15] Ricky
    Resolving the matter and rising in the
     Star Bearers' estimations is quite desirable.
[12:19] Ricky
    Even if the endeavor fails,
    the blame will lie with Mistress Kate,
[12:22] Ricky
    so there are no demerits
    for us in the matter.
[12:25] Patrick
    That's true.
[12:26] Ricky
    In order to examine the relationships
    between peers within the house,
[12:29] Ricky
    first, it might be best to speak
    with our team leader, Master William.
[12:34] Patrick; internal
    Ricky is truly exceptional.
[12:38] William
    Yes.
[12:39] William
    William and Henry are peers.
[12:42] William
    If memory serves, Rebecca and
     Cynthia debuted with us as well.
[12:46] Henry
    Randall has no peers left, right?
[12:48] Patrick
    W-Wait a moment, please.
[12:50] Patrick
    Patrick hasn't grasped everyone's names yet.
[12:54] Patrick
    But it seems one does
    tend to lose one's peers.
[12:58] Henry
    Those who cannot adapt to the
    circumstances do not survive.
[13:01] William
    The trick is not to stand out.
[13:04] Henry
    That, and not to disobey.
[13:07] Patrick
    Indeed...
[13:09] William
    Of those that Patrick knows, let's see...
[13:12] William
    It would be Barbara and Maryrose.
[13:14] Patrick
    What?!
[13:16] Patrick
    Those two debuted together?
[13:19] William
    In the children's wing,
    those two have been here the longest.
[13:24] Patrick
    What does Maryrose think about,
    alone in her rooms?
[13:28] Henry
    It would be good if her face could be mended.
[13:31] William
    Having someone older than you here in
    the children's wing is reassuring, isn't it?
[13:35] William
    It makes William feel it's all right
    that we haven't received an invitation yet.
[13:40] Ricky; internal
    These people will never achieve greatness.
[13:44] William
    In order, the others who have
     been here the longest are...
[13:46] William
    The Star Bearer Susanna,
    of the first-aid team...
[13:49] Henry
    And Gilbert.
[13:50] William
    That's right!
[13:51] Henry
    The research team has
    quite a few in one place...
[13:54] Henry
    Oliver, Lydia, Jeremiah.
[13:57] William
    Then there are Douglas and Sarah,
    who debuted together.
[14:01] William
    Huh? Is that John?
[14:03] William
    He seems a bit downcast.
[14:07] Patrick
    The Star Bearers scolded you?
[14:09] John
    About John and Kate.
[14:12] Patrick; quietly
    What are you doing?
[14:14] Patrick; quietly
    Have you gone and made a mess of our plans?
[14:16] John
    No.
[14:24] John
    They said that as John hasn't
    even petitioned for marriage yet,
[14:27] John
    he shouldn't make such a fuss.
[14:29] John
    And their expressions
    were so scary when they said it!
[14:32] (Flashback) Barbara
    As punishment, John and his living doll
    are ordered to clean this room.
[14:39] Henry
    What?
[14:39] Henry
    Do people get called before
    the Star Bearers for that sort of thing?
[14:42] William
    John, they have their eye on you
    for some reason, don't they?
[14:46] William
    That is a problem.
[14:47] William
    Don't cause trouble for our team.
[14:50] John
    But none of it makes any sense!
[14:52] John
    Not documents for marriage,
    or petitions, or anything else!
[14:55] William
    You must understand the gist of it, though.
[14:57] Henry
    Go look it up in the library.
[15:00] Patrick
    Is marriage something one must petition for?
[15:02] William
    Oh! Patrick, are you interested, too?
[15:05] Patrick
    No, not really.
[15:06] Henry
    In that case, you'd like to hear our
     ranking of recommended girls, right?
[15:11] Patrick
    Um, perhaps another time.
[15:13] Henry
    In first place is Evelyn!
[15:27] Patrick
    Regarding marriage...
[15:34] Sarah
    Quite studious, aren't you?
[15:36] Sarah
    Patrick, wasn't it?
[15:38] Sarah
    Or could it be that you've
    fallen in love with someone?
[15:41] Patrick
    No, it's...
[15:43] Sarah
    But it's not good to rush things.
[15:46] Patrick
    Huh?
[15:47] Sarah
    Did you know that one cannot marry
    unless one is an adult?
[15:51] Sarah
    While one is a child,
    all one can do is petition.
[15:55] Sarah
    Do you think it to be a meaningless system?
[15:58] Sarah
    The most important element of this system...
[16:01] Sarah
    is the determination
    to become an adult, no matter what.
[16:05] Patrick
    There are some who are dealt with
    before ever becoming adults.
[16:09] Sarah
    That's right.
[16:10] Sarah
    If after petitioning for marriage,
    one of the pair ends up being dealt with,
[16:15] Sarah
    they become the subject of derision.
[16:18] Sarah
    You must choose carefully.
[16:20] Sarah
    Find a partner who will
    not be dispensed with.
[16:22] Patrick
    After saying all of that, Sarah,
    do you have a partner in mind?
[16:26] Sarah
    But of course.
[16:27] Sarah
    Sarah has absolute confidence, you see.
[16:30] Sarah
    And you, Patrick... Your face is lovely,
    overflowing with confidence.
[16:36] Sarah
    How pleasing.
[16:38] Sarah
    Sarah wouldn't mind allowing
    you to join her allies.
[16:41] Patrick
    When you say that you find
    Patrick's face pleasing...
[16:45] Patrick
    Do you mean that you've taken a liking
    to Ricky, Patrick's living doll?
[16:48] Sarah
    What?
[16:50] Sarah
    Patrick, complimenting your face
    is the same as complimenting you, isn't it?
[16:55] Sarah
    Stop thinking of yourself
    and your living doll as separate.
[16:59] Sarah
    Grow up.
[17:03] Patrick
    Do living dolls not experience
    romantic love, Ricky?
[17:09] Ricky
    Of course not.
[17:12] Ricky
    You seem a little fatigued.
[17:14] Ricky
    Lately, you've grown fond
    of flowers, haven't you?
[17:17] Ricky
    Let's take a rest in the conservatory.
[17:29] Patrick
    These flowers are particularly fragrant.
[17:34] Margaret
    M-Margaret grew... those peonies.
[17:40] Patrick
    Really? That's amazing.
[17:43] Patrick
    What a worthwhile pastime.
[17:44] Patrick
    Oh, begging your pardon.
    Patrick is pleased to meet you.
[17:48] Patrick
    Margaret...
[17:50] Patrick
    Your team is led by Isabelle
    and Mirabelle, isn't it?
[17:53] Patrick
    You must be worried.
[17:54] Margaret
    What?
[17:55] Margaret
    Yes, worried...
[17:59] Margaret
    What will we do if they return?
[18:02] Margaret
    Since they've been sent
    to the soot pipes and everything...
[18:06] Margaret
    Margaret hopes they will just disappear.
[18:09] Margaret
    Because those twins' hearts
    are twisted and ugly.
[18:15] Margaret
    Um, do you like flowers?
[18:19] Margaret
    You come here often, don't you?
[18:21] Patrick
    Huh?
[18:22] Patrick
    Yes.
[18:23] Patrick
    Patrick does have an interest,
    but he isn't very knowledgeable yet.
[18:27] Margaret
    Children who love flowers...
[18:29] Margaret
    have beautiful hearts, you see.
[18:33] Margaret
    This section is available for use
     by shadows... if they wish.
[18:40] Margaret
    Would you...
[18:41] Margaret
    like to try growing something together?
[18:44] Patrick
    Yes, Patrick will consider it.
[18:47] Margaret
    Margaret will be waiting.
[18:49] Margaret
    Oh, right.
[18:51] Margaret
    Um...
[18:53] Margaret
    As a memento of our acquaintance...
[18:56] Margaret
    please take this flower...
     that Margaret grew.
[19:00] Margaret
    Um...
[19:01] Margaret
    You took a liking to it, didn't you?
[19:08] Ricky
    Marriage seems to be
[19:09] Ricky
    mode deeply embedded in the house's
    power struggles than we thought.
[19:13] Ricky
    Mistress Sarah, whom we saw earlier,
    should prove a good example for us to follow.
[19:17] Ricky
    If Mistress Maryrose should fall behind,
[19:19] Ricky
    then she would be a candidate
    for the next team leader.
[19:22] Ricky
    Keeping the conversation
    with Mistress Sarah in mind,
[19:24] Ricky
    I gave some thought to those
    who have the aptitude to become adults.
[19:28] Ricky
    Mistress Isabelle and Mistress Mirabelle
    are on the verge of failing as leaders.
[19:32] Ricky
    Mistress Kate came last in the debut.
[19:35] Ricky
    Mistress Margaret's interests
    align with yours, but that is all.
[19:39] Ricky
    As I thought, the only one
    worthy of you, Master Patrick,
[19:43] Ricky
    is the one who placed top
    in the debut, your peer...
[19:49] Patrick; internal
    Speak of her and she appears.
[19:51] Patrick; internal
    Well, then. Yes, he's right.
[19:54] Patrick; internal
    Ricky is exceptional, and he always
    guides Patrick in the right direction.
[19:58] Louise
    Oh, it's Patrick!
[20:00] Patrick; internal
    But Patrick's interest in flowers
    is the one thing...
[20:04] Patrick; internal
    which doesn't spring from Ricky's influence.
[20:06] Kate
    Oh, all of you are here.
[20:13] Patrick; internal
    No.
[20:15] Patrick; internal
    Just how great a fool can you be, Patrick?
[20:20] Patrick
    Y-Yes. What a coincidence.
[20:24] Patrick; internal
    Kate and Emilico
    are different, aren't they?
[20:27] Patrick; internal
    Because of Emilico...
[20:29] Patrick; internal
    Patrick learned that living dolls
    have their own inner aspects.
[20:36] Patrick; internal
    You're the one who split
    Patrick's heart in two.
[20:42] Patrick; internal
    Patrick has fallen in love with Emilico.
[20:48] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is sorry, Ricky!
[20:51] Patrick; internal
    Patrick is such a bungling
    failure of a master!
[20:55] Patrick; internal
    The least Patrick can do...
[20:57] Patrick; internal
    is take these feelings for Emilico...
[21:00] Patrick; internal
    and make certain to never, ever reveal them!
[21:10] lyric
    Traveling through a jumbled labyrinth...
[21:15] lyric
    Over and over
[21:19] lyric
    This lonely utopia...
[21:24] lyric
    I have no more need of it
[21:28] lyric
    A vanished smile
[21:30] lyric
    Promises are lies, too
[21:33] lyric
    Everything is pointless,
    isn't it? And yet...
[21:37] lyric
    Even misshapen as I am, I keep searching...
[21:42] lyric
    For shadows of recollection
[21:48] lyric
    Roses whose love has rotted...
[21:53] lyric
    Lock their feelings away
[21:58] lyric
    That silhouette from back then...
[22:02] lyric
    I've kept on chasing it...
[22:06] lyric
    Even if pale, frozen thorns
[22:11] lyric
    Pierce my heart over and over
[22:15] lyric
    Until I can take that hand
[22:20] lyric
    Again and again
[22:24] lyric
    I'll wish on a star
[22:42] Emilico
    Both Master Patrick and Mistress Louise
    are very kind, aren't they?
[22:46] Kate
    They are.
[22:47] Kate
    There is information Kate
    cannot gather on her own,
[22:50] Kate
    so they are a very great help.
[22:52] Kate
    It may be a good time
    to hold another meeting of peers.
[22:58] Kate
    What is it?
[22:59] Emilico
    You seem happy somehow, Mistress Kate!
[23:03] Kate
    What?
[23:09] Gilbert
    Don't block the path to the washing room!
[23:12] Gilbert
    Move!
[23:21] Isabelle
    Please, let us go!
[23:23] Mirabelle
    We can't endure any more!
[23:25] Gilbert
    That isn't something you get to decide!
[23:28] Isabelle
    We're begging you!
[23:31] Mirabelle
    Let us go! Please!
