[00:14] lyrics
    In the face of sadness, we shall smile
[00:18] lyrics
    To live is to be a marionette
[00:22] lyrics
    Once your heart gets into the swing...
[00:26] lyrics
    Would you like a coffee?
[00:31] lyrics
    1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2
[00:33] lyrics
    1, 2, 2, 3
[00:34] lyrics
    I can't seem to dance very well
[00:37] lyrics
    Pain and resentment, and sadness, too...
[00:40] lyrics
    Mix them, knead them...
[00:44] lyrics
    And then a good night kiss
[00:48] lyrics
    Shall we Dance? We shall dance
[00:52] lyrics
    Despair and desire. This is the life!
[00:56] lyrics
    Shadow Life!
[00:58] lyrics
    Don't puzzle over things unnecessarily
[01:02] lyrics
    Let's become one
[01:04] lyrics
    How nice (How nice) How nice (How nice)
[01:08] lyrics
    Humans... Being human... It's so nice

[01:33] John
    Whoa! Th-There, at her feet!
[01:36] John
    She's riding a scorch!
[01:46] John
    She put a scorch in her throat?!
[01:48] John
    The raspiness in her voice is gone!
[01:50] Maryrose
    You saw through everything. Well done.
[01:53] Maryrose
    I'd expect nothing less...
[01:55] Maryrose
    of such a beautiful rose.
[01:58] Maryrose
    I do not possess much soot,
[02:02] Maryrose
    but this power is quite useful.
[02:07] Maryrose
    It activates when even a tiny amount
    of my soot is incorporated into a scorch.
[02:12] Maryrose
    They are compelled to obey
    simple commands from me.
[02:15] Kate
    And that's how you played tricks
    with your height and voice.
[02:18] John
    Hold on...
[02:20] John
    Robe. Rose. Robe. Rose.
[02:23] John
    Master Robe's true identity is Rose!
    What a tremendous hint!
[02:27] Kate
    It was Emilico who started
    calling her "Master Robe"!
[02:29] Kate
    Will you please stop
    making silly jokes?!
[02:32] Kate; internal
    According to Louise's research,
[02:34] Kate; internal
    Maryrose's soot powers have physical effects
    which she can manipulate from a distance.
[02:38] Kate; internal
    Since scorches aren't
    living organisms,
[02:40] Kate; internal
    she can physically
    make them move.
[02:43] Kate; internal
    When she made the Belles
    break the coffee carafes,
[02:45] Kate; internal
    she must have been
    hiding somewhere,
[02:47] Kate; internal
    using her powers from
    afar to guide events...
[02:52] Kate; internal
    just the way I did at the debut
    when I made Emilico dance.
[02:58] Kate
    Maryrose, Kate simply
    cannot understand.
[03:02] Kate
    Rosemary is your living doll.
[03:04] Kate
    How could you do such cruel
     things to her and the others?
[03:07] Rosemary
    You have it wrong.
[03:18] Rosemary
    This is something I wanted.
[03:22] Kate
    Rosemary?
[03:23] Kate
    Have you recovered
    from your soot sickness?
[03:26] Rosemary
    To be precise, Mistress Maryrose
     manipulated a scorch,
[03:30] Rosemary
    anchoring it in a spot in my stomach
    where it would not easily be washed away,
[03:33] Rosemary
    to make it so that I wouldn't
    recover from the soot sickness.
[03:37] Kate
    She went as far as that?
[03:39] Rosemary
    It was necessary.
[03:45] Maryrose
    Rosemary and I don't
    have much time left.
[03:49] Maryrose
    We have received an invitation.
[03:53] Kate
    What?
[03:54] Maryrose
    Becoming an adult here
    at Shadows House...
[03:56] Maryrose
    Do you know what that entails?
[04:00] Maryrose
    A shadow's ultimate goal...
[04:03] Maryrose
    is to become one with a human.
[04:09] Maryrose
    The "invitation" is a summons
    to undergo the fusion ceremony
[04:13] Maryrose
    where a shadow and living
    doll become one entity.
[04:16] Maryrose
    The "adults" are all shadows
    who have completed this fusion!
[04:22] John
    Th-That's amazing!
[04:24] John
    Shadows can really
    do something like that?
[04:27] Maryrose
    To gain a face,
    shadows extinguish a human life.
[04:33] Maryrose
    The living doll's
    awareness is snuffed out,
[04:35] Maryrose
    and the shadow steps
    into their body!
[04:38] John; internal
    Huh? What does that mean?
[04:40] John; internal
    If John and Shaun fuse,
[04:42] John; internal
    will we never be able to speak
    to each other again?
[04:45] John; internal
    That would be horrible!
[04:47] Maryrose
    For a long time, we have awaited
    a chance to escape this house...
[04:52] Maryrose
    But with no moves we could make,
    time simply slipped away.
[04:56] Maryrose
    I possess very little soot,
[04:59] Maryrose
    and my power was only good
    for moving small, light objects.
[05:03] Maryrose
    Then, one day,
[05:04] Maryrose
    it suddenly blossomed into
    an ability to manipulate scorches!
[05:09] Maryrose
    I was so grateful
    for this stroke of luck!
[05:12] Maryrose
    I thought that maybe I could
    use it to find those of like mind.
[05:16] Maryrose
    As a first step,
[05:18] Maryrose
    I orchestrated the phantom disturbance.
[05:25] Maryrose
    This house robs people of thought,
[05:27] Maryrose
    so I wanted to uncover those who
     "fret over trivial matters."
[05:36] Maryrose
    Just as we thought that everything
    was progressing perfectly,
[05:40] Maryrose
    we received our invitation.
[05:44] Maryrose
    We no longer had time
    to search for kindred spirits.
[05:47] Maryrose
    We risked everything on one last
    chance for the two of us to escape.
[05:57] Maryrose
    In order to temporarily
    defer our invitation,
[05:59] Maryrose
    we had no choice but for Rosemary
    to contract soot sickness.
[06:03] Maryrose
    That's why we caused the second
    phantom disturbance—to buy ourselves time.
[06:08] Maryrose
    I took advantage
    of the resulting chaos,
[06:10] Maryrose
    and searched for other
    entrances and exits.
[06:12] Maryrose
    But I couldn't find any.
[06:14] Kate
    "Other"? What do you mean?
[06:17] Maryrose
    Emilico has told you, hasn't she?
[06:19] Maryrose
    The main house has an entryway.
[06:23] Maryrose
    I had searched that area previously.
[06:34] Maryrose
    However...
[06:40] Maryrose
    beyond the doors lay only a cliff!
[06:43] Maryrose
    The "entryway" is no
    more than a facade!
[06:47] Maryrose
    It seems the only way to escape is
    to pass through Lord Grandfather's wing—
[06:53] Maryrose
    a completely impregnable fortress.
[06:56] Maryrose
    Shadows House is toying
    with all of our lives.
[07:02] Maryrose
    To steal Rosemary's body,
[07:04] Maryrose
    so that I alone can continue
    to live a carefree life...
[07:07] Maryrose
    The very idea is unthinkable!
[07:09] Maryrose
    And so!
[07:10] Maryrose
    We shall fight our fate!
[07:17] Rosemary
    We know that we are being selfish.
[07:20] Rosemary
    When others learned of the secrets
[07:22] Rosemary
    of this house and were disposed of,
     we stood by and watched.
[07:27] Rosemary
    And because we tried to break
    the brainwashing, lives were lost.
[07:33] Rosemary
    It may be that our emotions
    have become muted.
[07:38] Rosemary
    My tears have run dry.
[07:41] Rosemary
    But, Mistress Kate, in such a short time,
    and without anyone noticing,
[07:44] Rosemary
    you have gathered yourself so many allies.
[07:47] Rosemary
    You are far more brilliant than we are.
[07:51] Rosemary
    Were it possible, I only wish
    we could have met sooner.
[07:56] Kate; internal
    It can't be...
[07:57] Kate; internal
    They wrought all this havoc precisely because
    of how much they care for each other?
[08:04] Kate; internal
    What if it were me?
[08:06] Kate; internal
    If I'd spent years in this house,
    unable to make allies,
[08:09] Kate; internal
    only to learn in the end
    that I'd lose Emilico...
[08:14] Rosemary
    Emilico...
[08:20] Rosemary
    There was so much more...
    I wanted to teach you.
[08:27] Rosemary
    Mia can be difficult to get along with,
[08:30] Rosemary
    but she's good at looking
    after people,
[08:32] Rosemary
    so she's sure to become
    a wonderful team leader.
[08:36] Rosemary
    Lou is a quiet, intelligent girl.
[08:40] Rosemary
    She lacks initiative, so, Emilico,
[08:42] Rosemary
    you make up for that
    for her, all right?
[08:47] Rosemary
    It only existed for a brief time...
[08:51] Rosemary
    But it was a wonderful
    team, wasn't it?
[08:55] Rosemary
    Shaun, you come over here, too.
[09:03] Rosemary
    I'm so sorry, truly.
[09:08] Rosemary
    It's too late for us...
[09:10] Rosemary
    to turn back now.
[09:20] Rosemary
    So please don't get in our way.
[09:24] Kate
    Emilico!
[09:25] John
    Shaun!
[09:26] Maryrose
    Tomorrow, we shall once
    again receive our invitation.
[09:30] Maryrose
    And that shall be our final act.
[09:34] Maryrose
    Which is why we cannot allow
    you to expose us as the culprits!
[09:38] Maryrose
    You will be restrained
    until the time comes!
[09:42] John
    Whoa!
[09:43] John
    There are still this
    many scorches?!
[09:45] John
    Who was it? Who skipped
    out on their cleaning?!
[09:48] Maryrose
    These are my last lessons
    for you as team leader!
[09:58] John
    Blast!
[09:59] John
    We can't get close
    to Shaun and Emilico!
[10:07] Maryrose
    So, you also have a long-distance,
    physical-type power?
[10:09] Maryrose
    I have a general idea
    of what you're thinking.
[10:12] Maryrose
    You are intelligent.
[10:15] Maryrose
    But you lack experience.
[10:17] Maryrose
    Lured by hints,
[10:19] Maryrose
    you came all the way to
    this stage I'd set for you.
[10:22] Maryrose
    Did you not think that
    it might be dangerous?
[10:25] Maryrose
    Did you think you could wing it against an
     opponent who had little soot to work with?
[10:31] Maryrose
    Lesson one!
[10:32] Maryrose
    Do not regard those who have
    been here longer with disdain!
[10:36] Kate
    We'll retreat for now!
[10:37] Kate
    If she's gathered every scorch
    in the house, we're at a disadvantage!
[10:40] Kate
    We'll go outside!
[10:41] John
    Right!
[10:49] John
    We defeated quite
    a few of them with that!
[10:51] Kate
    It seems that even when manipulated,
[10:53] Kate
    scorches are still weak against water!
[10:55] John
    Still, Rosemary really got us!
[10:59] John
    That talk she had with Emilico
    even made John cry a little!
[11:03] John
    And it was all just to get us
    to let down our guards?
[11:05] John
    She's such a good actress!
[11:06] Kate
    It may be that her words were the truth.
[11:08] Kate
    But achieving their goal was more
    important to them than anything else.
[11:13] John
    Look out!
[11:14] John
    These things just don't give up!
[11:17] John
    How far is her scorch-controlling range?
[11:21] Kate
    While Rosemary was receiving treatment,
    she was controlling that scorch...
[11:25] Kate
    even though there's
    quite a distance between
[11:27] Kate
    the washing room
    and Maryrose's rooms.
[11:30] Kate
    Could it be that once she's given
    an order, they become automated?
[11:35] Kate
    And when it comes to soot,
[11:36] Kate
    she has far more information
    than Kate and the others do.
[11:39] Kate
    She's a formidable foe.
[11:41] John
    The John Punch is our last resort, right?
[11:45] Kate
    What is that?
    You named your ability?
[11:47] Maryrose
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:54] John
    They're riding the scorches!
[11:57] John
    And there are more
    of them than before!
[11:59] John
    Where'd she get them from?!
[12:03] Kate
    They're fast!
[12:09] John
    They're gonna catch us!
[12:19] John
    They're gonna catch us!
[12:29] John
    Just kidding!
[12:35] Maryrose
    Blast it.
[12:37] Kate
    This is an aqueduct that
    brings water to the house.
[12:41] Maryrose
    A bridge made of soot.
[12:43] Maryrose
    You made it appear to be an extension
    of the land in order to lead us here...
[12:47] Maryrose
    Is that how it worked?
[12:48] John
    Well, this is a hill, you see!
[12:50] John
    You couldn't tell
    from below, right?
[12:52] John
    We didn't do all that
    exploring just for show!
[12:54] John
    With this, you've lost your
    fighting power, haven't you, Maryrose?
[12:58] Kate
    And now, to restrain you!
[13:07] Kate
    Kate's being pulled in!
[13:08] John
    Kate!
[13:11] Maryrose
    Why didn't you drop us
     into the aqueduct as well?
[13:14] Maryrose
    Were you being careful
    not to hurt Rosemary and me?
[13:19] Maryrose
    How naïve.
[13:20] Maryrose
    Lesson two!
[13:22] Maryrose
    Do not show compassion
    for your enemies.
[13:25] John
    How could you do that to Kate?
[13:27] John
    Don't show compassion, you say?
[13:29] John
    Then you'd better
    prepare yourselves!
[13:31] John
    You're about to get blown away!
[13:33] Kate; internal
    Wait...
[13:34] Kate; internal
    What is it? Something feels wrong.
[13:37] (Flashback) Maryrose
    You are intelligent.
[13:39] (Flashback) Maryrose
    But you lack experience.
[13:41] Kate; internal
    That's right.
[13:43] Kate; internal
    They've lived in the house
    for a long time.
[13:45] Kate; internal
    It's highly possible that they
    knew about this aqueduct.
[13:49] Kate; internal
    Could they have let themselves
    spring the trap on purpose?
[13:52] Kate; internal
    Why did they want us
    to let down our guard?
[13:57] (Flashback) Maryrose
    Did you think you could wing it against an
     opponent who had little soot to work with?
[14:01] Kate; internal
    Maryrose has a low soot volume.
[14:03] Kate; internal
    If that is true, then...
[14:06] Kate; internal
    A great number of scorches were
    defeated in the great hall.
[14:09] Kate; internal
    It's odd that they multiplied
    to such an extent.
[14:11] (Flashback) John
    Who was it? Who skipped
    out on their cleaning?!
[14:15] Kate; internal
    Could it be that those
    scorches earlier...
[14:19] Kate; internal
    were made from my soot?!
[14:22] John
    John...
[14:24] John
    Punch!
[14:26] Kate
    John, no!
[14:28] Kate
    Maryrose's soot power isn't limited
    to manipulating scorches!
[14:32] John
    What?
[14:40] Kate
    She can instantaneously transform
    others' soot into scorches!
[14:44] John
    Uh... Uh-oh.
[14:45] John
    There's more than double
    what was there before!
[14:52] Maryrose
    Lesson three.
[14:54] Maryrose
    One's true power should be
     kept secret as long as possible.
[15:01] John
    So this is a phantom?
[15:10] John
    All we can do is run!
    Let's go, Kate!
[15:13] Kate
    J-John!
[15:14] Kate
    What's wrong?
[15:16] John
    Why...
[15:17] John
    John's body won't move
    the way he wants it to...
[15:19] Kate
    You've used too much soot.
[15:20] Kate
    But you can do this, John!
[15:21] Kate
    For now, we just have to run!
[15:24] John
    John is sorry for being so pathetic.
[15:30] Maryrose
    You will not be allowed
    to interfere, Kate.
[15:34] Maryrose
    We will decide the manner
     in which our curtain falls.
[15:45] Kate
    It's no good.
    Kate is exhausted, too.
[15:49] John
    The more you attack,
    the stronger your opponent becomes!
[15:52] John
    That's just cheating!
[15:54] John
    This is no different from having
    our soot powers sealed away.
[15:57] John
    Blast it!
[15:58] John
    Both John and Kate thought that our
     high soot volumes were our one advantage!
[16:04] Kate
    And we left Emilico and Shaun
    back in the great hall, too.
[16:07] Kate
    It's just as Maryrose said.
[16:10] Kate
    Kate and the others were naïve.
[16:14] Kate; internal
    And that points to one
    devastating truth...
[16:18] Kate; internal
    That even Maryrose, with all her power,
[16:21] Kate; internal
    had no choice but to give up
    on escaping from this house.
[16:25] Kate; internal
    Just how great a gap in strength
    is there between us and the adults?
[16:32] Edward
    Bah. It's quite dispiriting,
[16:35] Edward
    having to go and check on the box.
[16:37] Aileen
    Even if one pair succeeds,
    it may be difficult for another.
[16:42] Thomas
    They entered the box a long time ago.
[16:46] Thomas
    What a shame.
[16:48] Thomas
    It seems you've started off with a failure,
[16:52] Thomas
    new warden of the children's wing...
[16:55] Thomas
    Young Edward.
[16:57] Edward
    Master Thomas.
[16:59] Thomas
    Your first welcoming...
[17:01] Thomas
    What do you think?
[17:03] Thomas
    Does it make you feel the
    weight of your responsibilities?
[17:05] Gerald
    We are about to confirm
    whether they failed or not.
[17:10] Thomas
    It's a truly wretched thing, you know?
[17:13] Edward
    I see.
[17:15] Edward
    It seems you have too
    much time on your hands.
[17:17] Edward
    Is this what you wish to say?
[17:19] Edward
    The warden's most important
    duty, the welcoming...
[17:22] Edward
    If it fails repeatedly,
[17:24] Edward
    the warden is removed from
    the position.
[17:28] Edward
    Is that it, former Warden Thomas?
[17:32] Thomas
    Why would a little brat
    who's only just risen
[17:35] Thomas
    to the second floor
    be given my position?
[17:37] Aileen
    What does it matter?
[17:38] Aileen
    Just think of it as having
    more leisure time.
[17:40] Aileen
    Flaring up at him like that...
[17:42] Aileen
    In addition to losing your position,
    you might be demoted to the first floor.
[17:47] Aileen
    Is your fear of that
    the cause of this?
[17:49] Thomas
    Don't underestimate me, you nobodies.
[18:00] Edward
    Now, now...
[18:02] Edward
    Running wild in a place like this
[18:04] Edward
    and ruining Lord Grandfather's mood
    would be idiotic, don't you think?
[18:08] Edward
    Allow me to apologize
     for speaking out of turn.
[18:10] Edward
    I am still quite young.
[18:14] Edward
    Please hold on to a long-term perspective.
[18:18] Edward
    After all, the ones who are
    worthy of the third floor...
[18:23] Edward
    are us.
[18:32] Gerald
    But, Edward, if only
    one pair of two succeeds,
[18:37] Gerald
    that would be a hard blow to take.
[18:39] Aileen
    If half succeed, it zeroes
     out on balance.
[18:42] Aileen
    But next time...
[18:44] Aileen
    Maryrose.
[18:46] Aileen
    I can understand why
    you're interested in her.
[18:49] Aileen
    Even if she were to be
    welcomed now, she would fail.
[18:52] Edward
    In the report for her transfer,
[18:54] Edward
    her evaluations were lower than expected,
    even considering her low soot volume.
[19:00] Edward
    It's strange, isn't it?
[19:04] Edward
    We are speaking of Maryrose,
    who used to excel.
[19:15] Edward
    What happened to her
     after we became adults?
[19:23] Edward
    As I thought,
[19:24] Edward
    the system wherein adults cannot directly
    affect the children's wing must be changed.
[19:29] Aileen
    And the reports, too.
[19:30] Aileen
    Only the warden is allowed to read them.
[19:40] Edward
    On top of which,
[19:41] Edward
    the moment they were invited,
     they contracted soot sickness.
[19:46] Edward
    All one can think is that they are resistant
    to coming to Lord Grandfather's wing.
[19:51] Gerald
    Is Maryrose a rebellious element?
[19:54] Edward
    This is only a hypothesis,
[19:55] Edward
    but what if she deliberately lowered her
    evaluations to stay in the children's wing...
[19:59] Edward
    so that she could inspire newcomers to rebel?
[20:04] Edward
    Kate could be the product of that.
[20:06] Edward
    She's a member of Maryrose's team.
[20:08] Edward
    There's more than
    enough to connect them.
[20:11] Edward
    Kate will carry on her mutinous ideology,
[20:14] Edward
    and if it spreads throughout
    the whole of the children's wing,
[20:16] Edward
    the Star Bearers will be unable
     to quell it on their own.
[20:19] Edward
    To make those up on the
    third floor understand this,
[20:22] Edward
    we will welcome Maryrose,
[20:24] Edward
    and have her come clean,
    spilling everything she knows.
[20:27] Edward
    If we can deliver a rebellious
    element to Lord Grandfather,
[20:31] Edward
    our path to the third floor will open.
[20:34] Gerald
    I see.
[20:35] Gerald
    Since you have thought that
    far ahead, I have no complaints.
[20:39] Aileen
    And to gain trust,
    an enemy is needed.
[20:43] Edward; internal
    When a shadow and a living doll
    enter the Box of Completion...
[20:47] Edward; internal
    a cocoon is formed from the shadow's soot.
[20:50] Edward; internal
    If the process succeeds,
    the living doll's life is extinguished,
[20:53] Edward; internal
    and a shadow made perfect
    emerges from the cocoon.
[20:57] Edward; internal
    Just as a caterpillar becomes a
    chrysalis and then emerges with wings.
[21:01] Edward; internal
    The process takes between
    one and two weeks.
[21:04] Edward; internal
    Failure means death.
[21:07] Edward; internal
    I'm afraid that Maryrose
    is unlikely to succeed.
[21:11] Edward; internal
    A failed fusion reduces the
    evaluation of the warden in charge,
[21:15] Edward; internal
    but that is of little concern.
[21:32] Edward
    What a horrible odor.
[21:46] Edward
    The real thing is even more
    hideous than I was told.
[21:51] Edward; internal
    Maryrose...
[21:53] Edward; internal
    This is where your fate shall lead.
[21:56] Edward; internal
    Those who plot rebellion...
[22:00] Edward; internal
    should be punished.
[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
