[00:49] go
    The golem is the forest's guardian.
[00:55] go
    It exists to protect the forest
    and enable its continued survival.
[01:00] go
    On its patrols, it observes plants, animals,
[01:04] ---
    and all life that exists there.
[01:08] go
    It does not interfere in food chains.
[01:12] go
    It simply oversees nature
    in its own dispensation.
[01:17] go
    The forest is a place where
    life is born and nurtured...
[01:22] go
    Before, in time, it returns to the earth.
[01:27] go
    The forest has laws.
[01:29] go
    I will spend a thousand years in the forest
    as an enforcer of those laws,
[01:34] go
    and when my time comes,
    I will return to the forest.
[01:37] go
    I never doubted that this was
    the purpose of my existence...
[01:43] go
    until that day.
[01:51] go
    Understood.
[02:11] go
    A human child?
[02:15] girl
    D... Dad.
[02:24] golem
    It called me "Dad."

[04:11] soma
    Hey! Wait!
[04:13] soma
    Stop!
[04:28] soma
    Wait, you!
[04:29] soma
    Get back here, bunny!
[04:31] soma
    Wait!
[04:33] dad
    I appreciate your help.
[04:34] soma
    Hey! Wait!
[04:35] dad
    There you are, Somali.
[04:38] soma
    Dad!
[04:42] dad
    You were told to remain within sight.
[04:46] soma
    There was a butterfly,
    and it got away from me,
[04:48] soma
    but then I saw a bunny
    and I wanted to get it—
[04:51] dad
    We must not be separated while traveling.
[04:54] dad
    You must remain within my line of sight.
[04:59] soma
    Not all the time, though!
[05:04] soma
    Bunny!
[05:09] soma
    Dad!
[05:10] soma
    A city!
[05:11] soma
    I see a city!
[05:18] merch
    Come one, come all!
[05:21] merch
    I owe you big for last time!
[05:23] merch
    Think nothing of it.
[05:24] merch
    Why, hello there!
[05:26] merch
    Thank you for all your help...
[05:28] kid
    I wanna go already!
[05:32] soma
    This is a big city, huh, Dad?
[05:34] dad
    It does appear more prosperous than
    previous cities we have encountered.
[05:39] dad
    Greater prosperity brings greater dangers.
[05:41] dad
    We must exercise caution—
[05:43] soma
    Cat!
[05:44] soma
    Hey, cat!
[05:45] soma
    C'mon!
[05:46] dad
    Somali.
[05:50] soma
    Dad...
[05:51] soma
    I'm hungry.
[06:02] soma
    Food time! Food time!
[06:04] wait
    Here we are!
[06:06] wait
    Today's special.
[06:08] wait
    Rice-stuffed lanternfish!
[06:11] dad
    This dish contains all required nutrients.
[06:14] dad
    Consume it in its entirety.
[06:26] dad
    What is it?
[06:27] soma
    It's really good!
[06:28] soma
    You have some too, Dad!
[06:30] dad
    Unnecessary.
[06:31] dad
    Golems require only oxygen,
    sunlight, and water to function.
[06:36] wait
    Golems?
[06:38] wait
    Are you a golem, sir?
[06:40] dad
    Correct.
[06:42] man
    Well, isn't that unusual!
[06:43] man
    I've never seen one before.
[06:45] frog
    A golem? Well, that's a surprise!
[06:48] frog
    I thought you folks never left your forests.
[06:51] frog
    And there's a kid with you, at that...
[06:53] frog
    What is the little one, anyway?
[06:56] dad
    The minotaur clan.
[06:58] frog
    Oh, I see now!
[07:00] frog
    Look at those cute little horns!
[07:02] wait
    And what brings you fine travelers here?
[07:07] dad
    Searching for humans.
[07:09] wait
    Humans?
[07:10] dad
    We are on a journey in search of humans.
[07:17] wait
    Well, have you seen any humans?
[07:20] frog
    That's quite a question...
[07:21] frog
    They carried them in the market
    not too long ago, right?
[07:25] man
    Humans, eh?
[07:26] man
    They made for good eating, didn't they?
[07:29] man
    I'd love to have one again!
[07:31] man
    Refresh my memory.
[07:32] man
    What happened to all the humans, again?
[07:35] wait
    Ahem.
[07:36] wait
    It was long, long ago.
[07:40] wait
    We and the humans lived in distant lands,
[07:43] wait
    unaware of each other's existence.
[07:47] wait
    It was the arrival of a lone
    human in one of our villages
[07:52] ---
    that caused our peoples to meet.
[07:55] wait
    Though surprised at first, we gradually
     came to know each other,
[07:58] wait
    and we began to intermingle.
[08:02] wait
    But the humans called us "Grotesques"
    and said the strangest things...
[08:08] wait
    "Why do you all look so different?"
[08:11] wait
    "Some of you have many eyes,
    some have scales like snakes...
[08:15] ---
    How monstrous you are!"
[08:18] wait
    We were left at a loss.
[08:20] wait
    Why were humans so difficult to please?
[08:23] wait
    They judged our appearances,
[08:25] wait
    and despite being physically weak,
    they were stubborn and quick to anger...
[08:30] wait
    Such sentiment soon spread in waves.
[08:32] wait
    Quarrels broke out between us and the humans.
[08:35] wait
    Soon, a great war broke out.
[08:39] wait
    Weak as they were, the humans
    were defeated in a flash,
[08:43] wait
    and before we knew it, they were all gone.
[08:47] wait
    And thus, we achieved a peaceful
    world free of humans.
[08:52] man
    The story of how it all started, eh?
[08:55] man
    I remember the old human hunts,
    searching out pockets of survivors...
[08:58] man
    Yeah, keeping 'em as pets and eating 'em up.
[09:01] frog
    But they're all gone now, surely.
[09:04] frog
    We're the only ones living here now.
[09:10] wait
    Oh? All finished?
[09:12] dad
    Yes.
[09:13] frog
    Where will you be spending the night?
[09:16] dad
    In the open.
[09:17] man
    You sure you want to do that?
[09:19] man
    It's not safe! You've got a kid with you!
[09:22] frog
    I know a nice inn.
[09:24] frog
    Please, get a room in town!
[09:25] dad
    That will not be—
[09:28] som
    Dad, can we stay in an inn?
[09:31] som
    Can we?!
[09:35] som
    Yay, a room!
[09:39] som
    This bed is so soft!
[09:45] dad
    Staying here was not in the plan,
[09:48] dad
    but we do what we must.
[09:55] dad
    What are you doing?
[09:56] som
    Exploring!
[09:58] dad
    An inexplicable behavior.
[10:00] som
    I'm so glad we got a room, Dad!
[10:04] som
    This is so much fun!
[10:05] dad
    Is it?
[10:06] som
    You aren't having fun, Dad?
[10:09] dad
    Golems lack emotions.
[10:12] som
    But if it's not fun—
[10:16] dad
    It would be dangerous to continue
    our journey in this state.
[10:19] som
    Can you fix it?
[10:21] dad
    Easily.
[10:22] som
    Great!
[10:23] som
    Dad's gonna fix it! Dad's gonna fix it!
[10:27] som
    Dad's gonna—
[10:30] som
    What?
[10:32] dad
    Remain quiet and still.
[10:55] dad
    Just a lodger?
[11:00] som
    You got scared, Dad!
[11:03] dad
    Your delight is inscrutable.
[11:06] dad
    And as I have previously explained,
    golems lack emotio—
[11:10] som
    I saw you get all tense!
[11:13] som
    You can't fool me!
[11:17] dad
    Your statement is erroneous.
[11:19] som
    I saw you! You got scared!
[11:22] dad
    Our day begins early tomorrow.
[11:23] dad
    Commence sleep at once.
[11:25] som
    No way! I'm staying up!
[11:26] dad
    Request denied.
[11:27] som
    Denial denied!
[11:57] som
    My horn's all better!
[11:59] som
    You're so cool, Dad!
[12:02] dad
    Exercise caution in your play.
[12:03] dad
    It may break again.
[12:05] som
    Thanks a lot, Dad!
[12:07] dad
    Your gratitude is unnecessary.
[12:10] som
    Where are we going today?
[12:13] dad
    To replenish supplies.
[12:14] som
    We're going shopping?!
[13:22] kids
    That's so cool! Look!
[13:51] dad
    Somali.
[14:09] dad
    Insufficient.
[14:11] dad
    The last city offered me double that price.
[14:14] merch
    I'm afraid these stones are
    rather common in this area, sir.
[14:19] merch
    This is more than fair.
[14:21] dad
    Unacceptable.
[14:23] dad
    You must offer appropriate compensation.
[14:25] merch
    You're a tough customer,
[14:27] merch
    but I just can't give you
    much for these stones...
[14:30] som
    Kitty?
[14:33] dad
    You leave me with no choice.
[14:35] man
    Sir, please!
[14:36] man
    That's a very precious gemstone!
[14:40] man
    An eye? What?!
[14:42] dad
    An amorphous substance comprised
    primarily of silicate.
[14:46] dad
    My analysis concludes that it is fake.
[14:51] merch
    What makes you say that?
[14:52] dad
    A golem's eye can identify the
    structural makeup of anything.
[14:57] dad
    The gold contained in these
     accessories is impure.
[15:02] dad
    It is an alloy of 78% low-grade
    copper and 2% gold pigment.
[15:08] dad
    Most of the gemstones are glass,
[15:10] dad
    and the remainder are of poor quality.
[15:13] dad
    In conclusion, 80% of the goods
    in this shop are counterfeit.
[15:18] dad
    Sir.
[15:20] dad
    Surely, from my statements,
    you can infer my intent.
[15:32] merch
    Fine, take it!
[15:36] dad
    Acceptable.
[15:37] merch
    Now take it and get out!
[15:40] dad
    This was my intention.
[15:42] dad
    Somali. Let us go.
[15:49] dad
    Again?
[17:18] som
    Hey! Kitty!
[17:21] som
    Where'd you go, kitty?
[17:33] som
    D-Dad...
[17:36] som
    Wh-What was that?!
[17:39] cat
    I'm right here!
[17:42] som
    Kitty?
[17:43] cat
    You okay, kid?
[17:46] som
    You're not... a cat...
[17:49] cat
    I figured you'd give up eventually,
[17:51] cat
    but you actually followed
    me all the way here...
[17:54] cat
    But it'd keep me up at night,
    knowing I got you lost.
[17:59] som
    I'm not lost!
[18:00] som
    I just don't know where I am!
[18:02] cat
    That's what it means to be los—
[18:05] cat
    Purr, purr, purr...
[18:06] cat
    What are you doi—purr, purr...
[18:09] som
    Drop it and let me pet you, okay?
[18:11] cat
    Absolutely not!
[18:15] cat
    Where'd you come from, anyway?
[18:17] cat
    This is no place for a kid all alone...
[18:22] cat
    Y'know, there's something
    familiar about how you smell...
[18:27] cat
    I'm not sure how to put it...
[18:30] cat
    But you smell...
[18:32] cat
    utterly...
[18:35] cat
    delicious.
[18:45] cat
    Wh-Who are you?!
[18:48] dad
    Leave this place immediately.
[18:58] dad
    What is the matter?
[19:00] som
    I'm happy.
[19:02] dad
    Why?
[19:03] som
    Because I knew you'd come, Dad!
[19:10] dad
    We will return to the inn now.
[19:12] som
    Okay!
[19:16] wait
    Welcome, sir!
[19:17] cat
    Hey, hey!
[19:18] cat
    I ran into this golem with a kid earlier,
[19:21] cat
    and he was so scary and mean!
[19:23] frog
    You were making some mischief, weren't you?
[19:25] cat
    Was not!
[19:27] cat
    I just thought the kid
    smelled kinda good, is all...
[19:30] cat
    And when I said that, he just...
[19:32] frog
    W-Were you ogling that small child?
[19:37] cat
    N-No way!
[19:38] wait
    Absolutely disgusting.
[19:39] cat
    I'm tellin' you, it wasn't that!
[19:47] dad
    It is fortunate I was able to arrive in time.
[19:50] dad
    You would have been in danger if
    it had realized you were human.
[19:55] dad
    It appears children have a
    tendency to act spontaneously
[19:59] dad
    when presented with things
    that spark their curiosity.
[20:02] som
    Dad.
[20:04] dad
    Yes?
[20:05] som
    How did you know where I was?
[20:09] dad
    Observation of your behavior.
[20:11] som
    Observation?
[20:13] dad
    You only leave my side when something
    catches your attention.
[20:20] dad
    I am incapable of understanding emotion.
[20:23] dad
    But I am capable of observation and analysis.
[20:26] dad
    This is my first experience
    with a human child,
[20:28] dad
    so completing this analysis
    required some time.
[20:32] dad
    Still, I cannot abide you getting
    lost everywhere we go.
[20:37] dad
    You are henceforth forbidden from
    leaving my side without permission.
[20:40] soma
    Not all the time, though!
[20:44] dad
    I am left with no choice.
[20:49] dad
    Take it.
[20:51] dad
    A behavior learned via observation
    of the city's denizens.
[20:54] dad
    The act of holding hands
[20:56] ---
    effectively inhibits spontaneous
    independent activity.
[21:00] soma
    Is it okay?
[21:01] dad
    Yes.
[21:06] soma
    Like this?
[21:07] dad
    Only one hand is required.
[21:10] soma
    Then...
[21:13] soma
    Like this?
[21:14] ---
    Yes.
[21:21] dad
    Let us proceed.
[21:22] ---
    Yeah!
[21:25] soma
    Dad! A butterfly!
[21:28] dad
    I see.
[21:30] dad
    This is indeed an effective inhibitor
    of spontaneous independent activity.
[21:34] dad
    However, it will limit my
    activity as well as yours.
[21:38] dad
    Seeking a more efficient
    method may prove necessary.
[21:43] som
    But...
[21:45] som
    I like it this way!
[21:50] dad
    Do you?
[21:51] som
    Yeah!
[21:52] ---
