[00:07] Patrick
These flowers are particularly fragrant.
[00:12] Margaret
M-Margaret grew... those peonies.
[00:18] Patrick
Really? That's amazing.
[00:21] Patrick
What a worthwhile pastime.
[00:23] Patrick
Oh, begging your pardon.
[00:24] Patrick
Patrick is pleased to meet you.
[00:27] Patrick
Margaret...
[00:28] Patrick
Your team is led by Isabelle
and Mirabelle, isn't it?
[00:31] Patrick
You must be worried.
[00:33] Margaret
What?
[00:34] Margaret
Yes, worried...
[00:37] Margaret
What will we do if they return?
[00:40] Margaret
Since they've been sent
to the soot pipes and everything...
[00:44] Margaret
Margaret hopes they will just disappear.
[00:48] Margaret
Because those twins' hearts
are twisted and ugly.
[00:53] Margaret
Oh, right.
[00:56] Margaret
Um...
[00:57] Margaret
As a memento of our acquaintance...
[01:01] Margaret
please take this flower...
that Margaret grew.
[01:05] Margaret
Um...
[01:06] Margaret
You took a liking to it, didn't you?
[01:24] lyrics
In the face of sadness, we shall smile
[01:28] lyrics
To live is to be a marionette
[01:32] lyrics
Once your heart gets into the swing...
[01:36] lyrics
Would you like a coffee?
[01:41] lyrics
1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2
[01:43] lyrics
1, 2, 2, 3
[01:44] lyrics
I can't seem to dance very well
[01:47] lyrics
Pain and resentment, and sadness, too...
[01:50] lyrics
Mix them, knead them...
[01:54] lyrics
And then a good night kiss
[01:58] lyrics
Shall we Dance? We shall dance
[02:02] lyrics
Despair and desire. This is the life!
[02:06] lyrics
Shadow Life!
[02:08] lyrics
Don't puzzle over things unnecessarily
[02:12] lyrics
Let's become one
[02:14] lyrics
How nice (How nice) How nice (How nice)
[02:18] lyrics
Humans... Being human... It's so nice

[02:42] Emilico
Both Master Patrick and Mistress Louise
are very kind, aren't they?
[02:46] Kate
They are.
[02:47] Kate
There is information Kate
cannot gather on her own,
[02:50] Kate
so they are a very great help.
[02:52] Kate
It may be a good time to hold
another meeting of peers.
[02:58] Kate
What is it?
[02:59] Emilico
You seem happy somehow, Mistress Kate!
[03:03] Kate
What?
[03:09] Gilbert
Don't block the path to the washing room!
[03:12] Gilbert
Move!
[03:21] Isabelle
Please, let us go!
[03:22] Mirabelle
We can't endure any more!
[03:25] Gilbert
That isn't something you get to decide!
[03:28] Isabelle
We're begging you!
[03:31] Mirabelle
Let us go! Please!
[03:44] Kate
Both Isabelle and Mirabelle
carried the scent of perfume.
[03:49] Kate
Even in that situation, they put some on,
[03:52] Kate
so perfume must truly be essential
to a shadow's toilette.
[03:58] Kate
The scents which Shaun discerned
to be close to Master Robe's...
[04:02] Kate
are used by those on this list.
[04:04] Kate
Lydia said that pinpointing
a specific perfume is difficult,
[04:08] Kate
but as shadows bathe frequently,
[04:10] Kate
their perfumes are always fresh, and thus
smell the same as they do in liquid form.
[04:15] Kate
So, the people on this list could still
be Master Robe. That remains unchanged.
[04:22] Emilico
That evening,
[04:23] Emilico
Mistress Kate happened to meet
Mistress Louise and Master Patrick,
[04:27] Emilico
and the three of them agreed
to once again hold a meeting of peers.
[04:44] Kate
What is John doing?
[04:46] Kate
Staying in one room
for too long will draw suspicion!
[04:49] Kate
That's why we said we'd keep this brief!
[04:51] Patrick
Don't release so much soot.
[04:53] Patrick
This is Patrick's room, you know.
[04:55] Patrick
Let's begin our reports.
[04:57] Patrick
John's absence doesn't actually
pose a problem, does it?
[04:59] Kate
Today, Kate wanted to hear
the living dolls' observations, too.
[05:02] Kate
Shaun's opinions are very helpful.
[05:06] Kate
But Kate supposes that we must proceed.
[05:08] Kate
Let's begin organizing our information
on the phantom disturbances.
[05:14] Kate
First, the information
Louise kindly gathered
[05:16] Kate
on the soot volumes of different shadows.
[05:20] Kate
When one considers the conditions required
for the formation of a phantom...
[05:23] Kate
We can narrow our list of suspects
to those shadows with high soot volumes.
[05:28] Kate
There is no way for us to confirm
whether everyone answered truthfully,
[05:31] Kate
but by comparing
the statements we can deduce...
[05:34] Kate
The ones with a high soot volume are
[05:36] Kate
Barbara, Benjamin, Gilbert,
Douglas, John, Sarah, and Kate.
[05:42] Louise
It is also said that those with high
soot volumes are difficult to dispose of.
[05:47] Louise
Kate, that gives you and
John quite an advantage!
[05:50] Ricky; internal
Those sorts of things
are graded within the house, too?
[05:55] Kate
Next, the information Patrick
was kind enough to gather on peer groups.
[05:59] Kate
What?
[06:00] Kate
Barbara and Maryrose debuted together?
[06:03] Patrick
Patrick reacted in exactly
the same manner you just did, Kate.
[06:06] Kate
And on top of that, they've been
here the longest of anyone?
[06:08] Kate
That means they're older than Susanna,
Lydia, and Jeremiah, doesn't it?
[06:12] Louise
Oh!
[06:13] Louise
Those three look quite old, don't you think?
[06:15] Kate
Stop that. It's rude, Louise.
[06:17] Patrick
Kate, you touched on it first.
[06:19] Kate
Um... Ahem.
[06:22] Kate
Returning to the topic at hand...
[06:24] Kate
Once all the relationships
between peers are brought to light,
[06:27] Kate
then we should also have the motives
for the incidents clearly in sight.
[06:33] Emilico
"To light" and "in sight"...
[06:36] Kate
Th-That wasn't on purpose, Emilico.
[06:39] Kate
Patrick, did you learn anything else?
[06:42] Patrick
Well, let's see...
[06:44] Patrick
There was something about Henry and
William's ranking of recommended girls...
[06:48] Ricky
Master Patrick, I'm certain
that topic is of no relevance.
[06:51] Kate
What?
[06:52] Kate
Ranking girls? That's atrocious.
[06:54] Louise
Henry and William seem like nobodies,
so it's fairly certain they aren't the culprits.
[06:58] Ricky
And both gentlemen have very low ambitions.
[07:01] Kate
So we can rule them out.
[07:04] Kate; internal
And from Louise's investigations,
[07:06] Kate; internal
we know that neither Henry nor
William possess soot powers.
[07:11] Kate; internal
Though, we can't speak of it with Patrick,
as none have awakened in him.
[07:14] Louise
Who do you think the culprit is?
[07:16] Patrick
This guy seems suspicious, don't you think?
[07:18] Louise
Why?
[07:19] Patrick
W-Well, because...
[07:21] Kate; internal
And yet...
[07:22] Kate; internal
Even after gathering
all of this information,
[07:24] Kate; internal
Christopher's name hasn't come up.
[07:27] Kate; internal
If he's become an adult,
[07:29] Kate; internal
then he's probably older
than Barbara and Maryrose.
[07:33] Kate; internal
With what we have,
there's no way to predict anything.
[07:36] Patrick
And as we had time, Patrick also looked
into the marriage system.
[07:42] Kate
Really... Sarah said that?
[07:45] Kate
One should pick someone who won't be
dispensed with as a marriage partner.
[07:49] Louise
Marriage, you say?
[07:51] Louise
Louise hasn't given any thought to it yet.
[07:57] Kate
Sarah's name is on the perfume list.
[08:00] Kate
What if Sarah's marriage partner is Douglas?
[08:05] Patrick
Douglas?
[08:06] Patrick
Well, he is Sarah's peer, but...
[08:08] Kate
And that isn't all.
[08:09] Kate
Sarah said she was confident.
[08:12] Kate
Wouldn't that be because her partner
was someone with a high soot volume?
[08:20] Kate
We can eliminate current Star Bearers
Barbara and Benjamin.
[08:25] Kate
Gilbert is a peer of Star Bearer Susanna,
[08:28] Kate
so it's very likely that he's allied
with the current Star Bearers.
[08:31] Louise
And John is engaged to Kate!
[08:33] Kate
He is not.
[08:37] Kate
The only ones left are Sarah and Douglas.
[08:42] Patrick
Isabelle and Mirabelle
are favorites of Susanna.
[08:45] Patrick
Quite the unpleasant spectacle.
[08:47] Lou
I think Mia didn't like the Belles.
[08:52] Ricky
During the phantom disturbance,
Doug used Mia as a shield.
[08:55] Ricky
Could that have been to make
themselves appear to be victims?
[08:58] Kate
If Maryrose falls by the wayside,
[09:00] Kate
Sarah will attain
the position of team leader.
[09:05] Kate
If Sarah and Douglas were
co-conspirators in the crime,
[09:09] Kate
could it have been an effort to disrupt
the order among the current Star Bearers?
[09:12] Kate; internal
It's true that Sarah has been
focused on becoming a Star Bearer.
[09:16] Kate; internal
And she is the type to cling to power
and influence, but...
[09:22] John
Sorry for being late!
[09:24] John
You see...
[09:26] John
We had to repair the wall and
clean the Star Bearers' meeting room!
[09:33] John
We've been busy!
[09:34] Patrick
What a happy-go-lucky guy.
[09:36] Patrick
Don't you understand?
[09:37] Patrick
Cleaning is a humiliating
punishment for a noble!
[09:41] Patrick
And we've already finished our discussion!
[09:43] Patrick
Sarah and Douglas are the culprits!
[09:46] John
Are they?
[09:47] Patrick
They are! And that is because...
[09:51] John
Well, that makes sense.
[09:53] John
But, you know,
[09:54] John
having a high soot volume doesn't
mean you can make phantoms.
[09:57] Kate
What?
[09:58] John
Jeremiah told us about scorches.
[10:01] John
Right, Shaun?
[10:03] Shaun
Yes.
[10:04] Shaun
He said that when scorches gather together,
they don't naturally form a phantom.
[10:07] Shaun
Which means that phantoms don't appear
unless they are deliberately created.
[10:13] Kate
We've narrowed our list of suspects
to shadows with high soot volumes,
[10:16] Kate
but it seems our fundamental
assumptions were wrong.
[10:18] Patrick
You moron! You should have
come sooner and said that!
[10:21] John
What do you mean, "moron"?
It's good information, isn't it?
[10:23] Patrick
Take responsibility for sending
us back to square one!
[10:26] Patrick
Try to deduce who the culprit is!
[10:28] John
You just leave it to John!
[10:29] John
It's actually those with low
soot volumes who are suspicious!
[10:31] John
Namely you, Patrick!
[10:32] Patrick
That isn't deduction or logic!
[10:35] John
Kate, show John the documents!
[10:36] John
He will give it serious thought!
[10:40] John
What?!
[10:41] John
Barbara and Maryrose are peers?!
[10:43] Patrick
We're done with that already!
[10:45] Patrick
Hearing it again from someone
who came late is just annoying!
[10:47] John
That's right!
[10:48] John
Patrick, John is going to
borrow your bathroom.
[10:50] John
John got dirty while cleaning,
so he's going to wash his face.
[10:52] Patrick
Go and stay gone!
[10:58] Kate
He's like a storm, isn't he?
[11:00] John
Huh?
[11:01] John
Something smells nice. Is it this flower?
[11:04] John
That Patrick.
[11:05] John
He should display this flower
in his rooms, don't you think?
[11:10] Shaun
Master John, this is...
[11:12] John
What?
[11:13] John
Of course!
[11:15] John
That's why he's got it here
where no one will see it.
[11:18] John
Everything makes sense now!
[11:21] John
John has misjudged you, Patrick!
[11:23] Patrick
What?
[11:24] John
You really are Master Robe and the
culprit behind the phantom disturbance!
[11:28] Patrick
What are you talking about?!
[11:30] Shaun
Master John, please don't be hasty.
[11:32] Kate
What's happened?
[11:34] John
This!
[11:35] John
It's the true source of
Master Robe's fragrance!
[11:38] Shaun
Mistress Kate, my apologies.
[11:40] Shaun
When I smelled the perfumes
at the lab, it didn't hit me,
[11:43] Shaun
but I'm certain that it was
the scent of this flower.
[11:46] Kate
So, Master Robe's scent
wasn't that of perfume?
[11:49] Patrick
Who are you calling Master Robe?
[11:51] Patrick
Patrick received that peony from Margaret!
[11:54] John
Huh? Really?
[11:56] John
So, you and Margaret are friends, then?
[11:57] Patrick
No! It was the first time we'd met!
[12:00] Patrick; internal
Blast it...
[12:01] Patrick; internal
Patrick didn't want Emilico to see
he'd received a flower from another girl.
[12:07] John
Then Master Robe is... Margaret?!
[12:10] Louise
Say, what is this "Master Robe," anyway?
[12:13] Emilico
Mistress Kate?
[12:14] Kate
When you think about it, it makes sense.
[12:16] Kate
Why didn't Kate realize sooner?
[12:19] Kate
To conceal one's identity,
one would obscure one's perfume.
[12:24] Kate
Kate had thought there was a possibility
that Master Robe was Christopher...
[12:27] Kate
But no.
[12:29] Kate
Adults use different perfumes
than children do.
[12:32] Kate
And no child would be able to
identify those variations.
[12:35] Kate
There would be no need
to hide the fragrance in the first place.
[12:38] Kate
And it isn't any of the shadows who are
suspects because of the perfume list.
[12:41] Kate
They would pick a flower with
a completely different scent
[12:43] Kate
from the perfume they usually wear.
[12:47] Kate
If we use the process of elimination...
[12:48] Kate
Then the identity of Master Robe is...
[12:51] Kate
This shadow.
[12:54] Kate
But why?
[12:59] Emilico
Um...
[13:00] Emilico
I thought I must have been imagining it...
[13:03] Emilico
I didn't want to say something strange
and confuse you, Mistress Kate...
[13:08] Kate
What is it?
[13:09] Emilico
But I do think it's strange after all.
[13:13] Emilico
When I think back on it...
[13:16] Emilico
One face was clean.
[13:21] John
We said we'd tell Patrick and Louise
when we'd confirmed the culprit,
[13:25] John
and they seemed convinced, but...
[13:28] John
What do you want to do?
[13:29] John
Should we charge into the offender's rooms?
[13:32] Kate
Wait.
[13:33] Kate
Kate found another hint on the map.
[13:35] John
A hint?
[13:36] Kate
A place under the jurisdiction
of that shadow's living doll.
[13:39] Kate
Master Robe has written
two things onto this map.
[13:43] Kate
The first is right here.
[13:45] Kate
And then, here.
[13:47] Kate
When we were exploring,
Kate remembers a flower bed being here.
[13:51] Shaun
When you look closely, it seems like the
pen pressure is different from the original.
[13:54] John
Still, would you really be
able to find a hint like that?
[13:57] John
It would be impossible for anyone but Kate!
[13:59] Kate
First, let's try going to this flower bed.
[14:10] Shaun
An untended flower bed...
[14:13] John
People wouldn't come
to a place like this very often.
[14:17] Shaun
There's just one spot where
the soil has been made level.
[14:21] John
Right, Emilico!
[14:22] Emilico
What?
[14:22] John
Team Brawn is going to dig!
[14:25] Kate
John!
[14:26] Kate
Please don't equate Emilico with yourself!
[14:28] Shaun
I'll do it!
[14:34] John
We've got something!
[14:45] John
"In that moment which spans across days..."
[14:47] John
"Let us meet in the place where
that which was wicked was shattered."
[14:52] Shaun
Do you think it could be a trap?
[14:55] Kate
It may very well be.
[14:57] Emilico
Do you think that Master Robe
hasn't been brainwashed?
[15:01] Emilico
Why would they do something like this?
[15:04] Kate
Why, indeed.
[15:06] Kate
They had the disposition to
create all this strife, after all.
[15:08] Kate
We need to prepare ourselves first.
[15:11] Kate
The frightening thing is that
we still don't know their motives.
[15:15] Kate
And we don't know what
they might mean to do next.
[15:20] Kate
Honestly. It's all so circuitous.
[15:23] Kate
Kate doesn't like their methods one bit.
[15:28] Kate
Fine, then. We'll do as you wish.
[15:31] Kate
Just you wait.
[15:33] Kate
We'll tear that robe right off of you!
[16:16] Kate
You really did come.
[16:21] John
Say, John would like to ask you something!
[16:25] John
Have you been waiting here every night?
[16:27] John
That must have been grueling!
[16:28] Kate
Simply checking if the flower bed had been
dug up would render that entirely unnecessary!
[16:32] John
That makes sense.
[16:35] Kate
Phantoms and their disturbances
were once only rumors,
[16:37] Kate
and now they've appeared twice
in a short span of time.
[16:42] Kate
According to the research team,
[16:44] Kate
scorches do not naturally
turn into phantoms.
[16:48] Kate
Which makes it clear that
someone's soot power made them.
[16:53] Kate
And...
[16:54] Kate
Late at night, you sought
to make contact with Emilico.
[16:56] Kate
You, a strange, unsettling presence...
[16:59] Kate
Do the messages you left on the map
[17:02] Kate
mean that you were hoping
for something from us?
[17:11] Master Robe
It's amazing that you've been able to
[17:13] Master Robe
conduct yourself in a way that
doesn't expose you, Kate.
[17:16] Master Robe
You're a special morph, too, aren't you?
[17:20] Kate
Morph? You know about that, too?
[17:24] John
Morph?
[17:25] Master Robe
You haven't told your allies about it?
[17:29] Master Robe
To think you'd be so thoroughly cautious...
[17:32] Master Robe
I'm impressed.
[17:35] John
Kate, what is it that you know?
[17:40] Master Robe
However...
[17:42] Master Robe
Do you control information in that manner
because you don't trust your allies?
[17:47] Kate
That's not true.
[17:49] Master Robe
Since your own existence is special...
[17:52] Master Robe
You look down on others, don't you?
[17:57] Master Robe
As I thought... Your memories
remain, do they not?
[18:00] Master Robe
Memories from before you
began to mimic a human.
[18:06] Master Robe
What will you do?
[18:08] Master Robe
Your underlings are confused.
[18:10] Master Robe
Shall I explain?
[18:14] Master Robe
A morph is the previous form of a shadow,
[18:18] Master Robe
from before they begin to mimic a human.
[18:21] Master Robe
Once they mimic a human,
they also mimic its intelligence.
[18:25] Master Robe
It's very close to reincarnation.
[18:27] Master Robe
And once that happens,
[18:29] Master Robe
their memories from when they
were morphs slowly disappear.
[18:33] Master Robe
But Kate and I are different.
[18:37] Master Robe
We remember everything.
[18:39] Master Robe
I have seen the mechanisms by which
Shadows House treats its living dolls as tools.
[18:45] Master Robe
Shadows are nobles?
That is simply make-believe.
[18:50] Master Robe
Shadows House is a house of kidnappers.
[18:54] Kate
Kate wants to change that! That's why she—
[18:57] Master Robe
Are you sure about that, Kate?
[18:59] Master Robe
You haven't changed either, have you?
[19:02] Master Robe
In the end, you're the only one
who knows the secrets of this house,
[19:05] Master Robe
and you compel your
underlings to follow you.
[19:07] Master Robe
You manipulate them
from a position of superiority.
[19:10] Master Robe
Were you frightened?
[19:12] Master Robe
Did you think that if the information leaked,
you'd be digging your own grave?
[19:16] Master Robe
Or did you think that
if they learned how cunning you are,
[19:20] Master Robe
you would lose their trust?
[19:31] John
You're saying all that when you
know nothing of John and the others!
[19:37] John
If you hurt Kate any more,
John will punch you!
[19:42] John
She's the smartest, so of course she's
thinking about all kinds of things!
[19:46] John
Kate, please say something
in your own defense!
[19:48] John
John can't figure out what to say!
[19:56] Kate
Well, it seems you've said everything
you wanted to, with no restraint.
[19:59] Kate
Kate is furious right now!
[20:01] Kate
Because of you, Kate fell under
suspicion from the Star Bearers.
[20:05] Kate
And even supposing there were morphs
who retained their prior memories,
[20:09] Kate
are you saying that all
of them would share your ideology?
[20:12] Kate
Just how many living dolls do you suppose
were hurt by the phantom disturbance?
[20:17] Kate
Some, like Rosemary and Victor,
were even severely injured!
[20:20] Kate
As you know that living dolls are human,
[20:23] Kate
Kate cannot understand why you would
take such a course of action!
[20:26] Kate
If anyone here is preening over
their own splendid superiority,
[20:29] Kate
it's you!
[20:31] Kate
If that's the kind of shadow you are,
[20:33] Kate
then Kate has no reservations about
handing you over to the Star Bearers.
[20:35] Kate
Remove your robe.
[20:37] Kate
Kate knows who you are.
[20:40] Kate
Hiding your scent, height, and voice means
that you're someone close to us.
[20:46] Kate
It's highly likely that you're affiliated
with Emilico, Shaun, or Rum's teams.
[20:50] Kate
We also investigated
perfumes and soot powers!
[20:54] Kate
After the process of elimination,
the only one left was you!
[20:56] Kate
And then Emilico testified to something else.
[21:00] Kate
One trait of soot sickness is that the
afflicted's whole face is blackened with soot.
[21:05] Kate
That's because they resist
when the scorches cling to them.
[21:10] Kate
And yet...
[21:12] (Flashback) Emilico
When I think back on it...
[21:14] (Flashback) Emilico
One face was clean.
[21:17] Kate
The living doll who started
the whole incident...
[21:20] Kate
bore no signs of resisting!
[21:22] Kate
That's because you ordered your own
living doll to do it, right?
[21:28] Kate
To think you'd go so far...
[21:35] Kate
Why did you do it,
[21:46] Kate
Maryrose?
[22:01] Maryrose
All of you really are quite entertaining.
[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
[23:36] Kate
Next time,
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Next Time
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
SIGN The Last Lessons
[23:37] Kate
"The Last Lessons."
