[00:26] Nobel
    Don't worry.
[00:28] Nobel
    I'm sure we'll meet again.
[00:31] Nobel
    No matter what difficulties we face...
[00:35] Nobel
    we'll fulfill our destiny.
[00:43] Denta
    Hey, you.
[00:44] Denta
    Do you know about the highly skilled,
    humanoid robots called "Androids"?
[00:49] Denta
    As the culmination of
     cutting-edge technologies,
[00:53] Denta
    Androids can free you from everyday labor!
[00:56] Denta
    With the sea level rising due to global warming,
    the human population has plummeted,
[01:01] Denta
    and today, humans alone can't take care
    of all the necessary jobs themselves.
[01:05] Denta
    Androids have brought us
    the solution to that!
[01:10] Denta
    Born to exist side-by-side with humans
    and programmed to perfection,
[01:14] Denta
    they're sure to become your
    trusted partners in life!
SIGN    To Esora
SIGN    Please deliver this letter to the location below.
SIGN    Hakushu Shibaura
SIGN    Esora Shibaura
[01:30] Funeral Robo
    The cremation is complete.
    The cremation is complete.
[01:34] Funeral Robo
    Are you a member of the Shibaura family?
[01:37] Esora
    Yes... sort of.
SIGN    Like I said, that's why we're a family!
[01:45] Neon
    No way.
SIGN    Neon
SIGN    But why?! I'm more like an older brother than you, Neon!
[01:49] Neon
    That's dumb.
SIGN    C'mon, Kei!
SIGN    You'd be the oldest brother, so say something!
SIGN    Kei
[01:55] Kei
    Don't drag me into your stupid argument.
SIGN    Chrom, you're brother number two, right?
SIGN    Chrom
[02:01] Chrom
    I'm busy collecting data right now.
SIGN    Come on!
SIGN    Call me "big brother"!
SIGN    Chrom, Kei, say something—!
[02:08] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[02:13] Eliza
    Hello. I am your personal
    AI assistant, Eliza.
SIGN    Eliza
[02:17] Eliza
    As usual, you four are off
    in your own worlds.
SIGN    Eliza, listen! Neon won't...
[02:23] Eliza
    Cobalt, this is the 366th time you've tried
    to make Neon call you "big brother."
SIGN    If you live under the same roof and charge from the same Cradle,
SIGN    Cobalt
SIGN    that means you're family!
SIGN    That's what my programming tells me!
[02:36] Neon
    What a pain.
[02:38] Chrom
    He can't help it, though.
[02:39] Chrom
    Cobalt's parameters are distributed
[02:41] Chrom
    to make him express
    a strong interest in family.
SIGN    But still!
[02:46] Eliza
    Age is merely a question
    of your Body's appearance.
[02:50] Eliza
    You are Androids, after all.
SIGN    Wha—?
SIGN    Nora! Hey! Don't!
SIGN    Whoa!
[03:03] Kei
    Hey, you guys okay?
[03:06] Neon
    I just can't.
[03:09] Kei
    Geez. How does this thing get in, anyway?
[03:12] Eliza
    Your Body has suffered 38 percent damage.
[03:15] Eliza
    You require a mechanical
    examination immediately.
[03:18] Kei
    In order to get fixed, we need money, right?
[03:21] Chrom
    Since we don't have any
    operation requests set up,
[03:24] Chrom
    how would we know what labor
    to perform to earn an income?
[03:26] Chrom
    I haven't the slightest idea.
[03:28] Eliza
    Speaking of which, I have
    an important notification for you all.
[03:30] ---
    Request for payment of electrical bill
SIGN    Request for payment of electrical bill
[03:31] Eliza
    A collections notice has arrived
[03:33] Eliza
    for the electrical bills you've
    built up over the last year.
SIGN    Collection?
[03:38] Chrom
    Money is required to use electrical power.
[03:41] Chrom
    Didn't they tell us that every month?
[03:42] Eliza
    You knew but still didn't pay?
[03:46] Chrom
    I am unable to process operation
    requests to "pay the electrical bill."
[03:50] Chrom
    Plus, we don't have any
    money to begin with.
[03:53] Kei
    What happens if we just don't pay it?
[03:56] Eliza
    Most likely, your power will be shut off,
[03:59] Eliza
    and you'll have no way
    to recharge your energy.
[04:01] Eliza
    Basically...
[04:02] Neon
    A forced shutdown.
SIGN    So that means...
[04:06] Chrom
    You'll run out of power and won't be
    able to boot up. That's basically it.
SIGN    That's horrible!
SIGN    What can I do?! What am I gonna do?!
[04:14] Eliza
    At any rate, for now you must
    find some way to pay the bill.
[04:19] Chrom
    But the operation request has not—
[04:21] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[04:24] Eliza
    Then there is no other choice.
[04:25] Eliza
    I will issue a operation request this time.
SIGN    Kei
SIGN    Earn wages to pay the power bill
[04:29] Kei
    "Earn wages to pay the power bill," huh?
[04:34] Chrom
    Wages are commonly earned
    as compensation for labor.
[04:37] Chrom
    We should begin by searching
    through job listings.
[04:40] Kei
    Yeah.
[04:44] Denta
    Babel. The symbol of a new age.
[04:48] Denta
    A new paradise.
[04:49] Denta
    An entertainment tower that provides
    all kinds of thrills and information!
[04:54] Denta
    Participants known as "Climbers"
    enthrall audiences with song and dance
[04:58] Denta
    to clear the Climb Stages!
[05:00] Denta
    From the first to the fifth Stage,
    they win a reward for each level they clear!
[05:05] Denta
    And what awaits them beyond those
    levels? Is it freedom? Glory?
[05:11] Denta
    Esteemed Climbers, now is the time
    to assemble at the tower of wisdom!
SIGN    We're here!
[05:20] Neon
    This is Babel?
[05:22] Kei
    If we can win over audiences here
    with our singing, we'll get a reward.
[05:26] Chrom
    I always thought that participants
    had to be human to register,
[05:30] Chrom
    but they didn't even check us, did they?
SIGN    Hey, why did the humans build this place, anyway?
SIGN    Collecting everything exciting in one place so they can keep having fun...
SIGN    What's the point?
[05:45] Chrom
    Maybe they don't want to forget their
    happy memories. Could that be it?
SIGN    Forget?
[05:51] Chrom
    Human memory apparently weakens
    over time and eventually disappears.
[05:55] Chrom
    That's why humans seek out the same
    experiences—to recall their lost memories.
[06:01] Chrom
    I read about it in a book a while ago.
SIGN    Hmm.
SIGN    Are we there?
[06:09] Neon
    But there's nobody here.
[06:11] Chrom
    According to the instructions they gave us,
[06:13] Chrom
    if we pass through there,
    we'll end up on stage.
[06:17] Kei
    It's about time.
SIGN    This might be the first time since booting up
SIGN    that the four of us have done something together.
[06:23] Neon
    You're probably right.
[06:25] Chrom
    Apparently, that is what is
    called a "first collaboration."
SIGN    Whoa.
SIGN    Let's go!
[06:36] Denta
    New Climbers have arrived
    on the first Climb Stage!
[06:42] Kei
    Is that the audience?
[06:44] Chrom
    It seems like it.
[06:45] Chrom
    The first Stage is held in virtual reality,
[06:48] Chrom
    so the viewers watch and rate
    the performance in VR.
[06:53] Denta
    Okay, guys. Are you ready to go?
[06:57] Denta
    All right, then. Show us what you've got!
SIGN    Elephant, elephant
[07:05] Chrom
    Poor thing, poor thing, little lost kitty
SIGN    What a really long nose you have there
[07:09] Chrom
    Where in the world could your home be?
SIGN    Sure I do, and I'll show you
[07:13] Chrom
    I asked where home was, but, "I don't know"
SIGN    Mommy's is long, too
[07:17] Chrom
    I asked her name too, but, "I don't know"
SIGN    Elephant, elephant
[07:21] Chrom
    Meow meow meow meow,
    meow meow meow meow
SIGN    Who in the world do you like best?
SIGN    Well—
[07:27] Denta
    A forced shutdown! Too bad!
[07:32] Denta
    First Climb Stage failed!
SIGN    That scared me!
[07:45] Neon
    That sucked.
[07:47] Chrom
    This is... It seems we were
    sent back to the entrance.
[07:51] Kei
    I guess that wasn't good enough.
[07:54] Kei
    What did we do wrong, though?
[07:56] Chrom
    No idea. We sung in perfect pitch and
    danced according to our programming.
[08:01] Climber A
    There are Climbers at the top level!
[08:03] Female Viewer
    Hurry, hurry!
[08:05] Kite
    We're at the top of Babel?
[08:07] Kite
    We'll take you to even greater heights.
SIGN    Light
SIGN    Kite
SIGN    Night
[08:10] Kite
    Come with us!
[08:12] Climber C
    STAND-ALONE is on stage!
[08:13] Female Viewer
    Kite!
[08:47] Kei
    So they were top-level Climbers, huh?
[08:50] Neon
    They got a ton of "Excellent" votes.
[08:53] Chrom
    The crowd noise exceeded 120 decibels.
[08:56] Chrom
    That's essentially as loud as thunder.
SIGN    What makes them so different?
[09:04] Chrom
    Whoa, there.
[09:05] Kei
    What's up?
[09:06] Chrom
    Well, something fell from above.
[09:08] Kei
    Above?
[09:13] Neon
    A human?
[09:15] Chrom
    Did that person drop this?
SIGN    Kei!
[09:21] Kei
    I'm on it!
SIGN    Hey, kid, you okay?
[09:28] Chrom
    It might be heat stroke.
[09:30] Kei
    Let's get him somewhere cooler!
SIGN    Technoroid
[09:35] (Flashback) Esora
    Dad?
SIGN    Ah! Are you awake?
[09:49] Esora
    Where am I?
[09:51] Kei
    A nearby park.
[09:53] Chrom
    You passed out on the footbridge.
[09:55] Chrom
    It must have been the heat.
[09:58] Neon
    Don't you have a heat-resistant cape?
[10:00] Kei
    It's risky to go out during
     the daytime dressed like that.
[10:04] Esora
    A-And who are you all?
SIGN    Androids that were just passing by.
[10:07] Esora
    Huh? Androids?
[10:10] Chrom
    Yes. That's why we can do
    things outside during the day.
[10:14] Esora
    Oh, I see.
[10:18] Esora
    Thank you very much for saving me.
[10:20] Esora
    I'm Esora. Esora Shibaura.
SIGN    My name is Cobalt.
[10:25] Chrom
    I am Chrom.
[10:26] Neon
    Neon.
[10:27] Kei
    I'm Kei.
SIGN    Oh, that's right.
SIGN    I think you dropped this.
[10:35] Esora
    I threw that thing away.
SIGN    Huh?
[10:38] Esora
    Um,
[10:39] Esora
    Androids can't share someone's
    secrets with other people...
[10:44] Esora
    They're equipped with
    privacy protection, right?
[10:47] Chrom
    Yes, that's right.
[10:50] Esora
    Can I tell you something, then?
[10:55] Esora
    Today was my father's funeral.
[10:59] Esora
    Actually, I'm adopted,
    so I'm not really his son.
[11:04] Esora
    My real parents died when I was a baby.
[11:08] Esora
    My father was their friend.
    He was single, but he took me in.
[11:15] Esora
    I'm grateful to my father,
    but he was so busy with work...
[11:21] Esora
    I was always left by myself.
[11:28] (Flashback) Esora (10 yr)
    Dad, where are you going?
[11:30] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I'm going to the lab.
[11:32] (Flashback) Esora
    U-Um, what about dinner?
[11:34] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I don't need any.
[11:40] Esora
    Father's health declined,
    and then one day he collapsed.
[11:46] Esora
    I eventually went to see him,
    but by then, he was already...
[11:53] Esora
    He died before we'd made
    any memories together.
[11:57] Esora
    The only thing he left
    behind was this letter.
[12:04] Esora
    But... it's not even addressed to me.
[12:10] Esora
    Even though he was busy with work
    and couldn't talk to me,
[12:16] Esora
    I... I still wish he'd at least...
[12:22] Esora
    Dad didn't want me in his world, after all.
SIGN    Hey, can I take a look at that letter?
SIGN    Hmm.
SIGN    Oh, hey, what does this say?
[12:42] Esora
    Huh? That's weird.
[12:45] Esora
    It might be broken.
SIGN    Maybe it'll work if I hit it.
[12:49] Chrom & Kei
    Ah!
[12:50] Neon
    Idiot! Stop it, Cobalt!
SIGN    Look, something came out!
[12:56] Neon
    A video?
[12:57] Kei
    What's it showing?
[12:58] Esora
    I don't know. I've never seen this before.
SIGN    This kid looks like you, Esora.
[13:04] Esora
    Huh? Me?
[13:06] Neon
    Definitely. Do you remember any of this?
[13:10] Esora
    I don't know.
[13:11] Esora
    It looks like a normal family video.
SIGN    Family...
[13:19] Esora
    I still don't remember anything.
SIGN    Send me an operation request!
[13:22] Esora
    Huh?
SIGN    Chrom said that humans can forget their memories.
SIGN    But if they do the same thing over again, sometimes they can remember.
[13:31] Esora
    Um...
SIGN    This might be an important family memory,
SIGN    so you should try to go to the place in the video!
[13:40] Kei
    He's reacting to the word "family" again.
SIGN    Send me an operation request! Let's go there together!
[13:43] Neon
    His parameters are running wild.
[13:43] Esora
    Huh? Um, hold on a minute...
SIGN    Search for the memorable place shown in the letter
[13:49] Esora
    Does that work?
SIGN    Yeah!
SIGN    Okay, let's all go looking for the place from Esora's memories!
[13:55] Kei
    You say "go," but...
[13:57] Neon
    We don't have any idea where it is.
[14:00] Chrom
    Let's start with a close inspection
     of the video footage.
SIGN    Well?
[14:10] Esora
    It might be a park or something.
[14:14] Esora
    There's a lot of greenery
    and there's a big clock tower, too.
[14:17] Chrom
    That seems highly likely.
[14:20] Chrom
    Well then, let's search the parks
    that were in your vicinity.
SIGN    That's our Chrom! We can count on you!
SIGN    All right then, let's go!
SIGN    Sunflower Park
SIGN    Next one!
SIGN    Next one!
SIGN    Next one!
[14:48] Kei
    We still haven't found it.
[14:50] Chrom
    We've been to all of the parks
    within range that have a clock tower.
[14:56] Neon
    Getting hot?
[14:57] Esora
    I'm okay.
[14:58] Neon
    Hey, what do humans do for Body cooling?
[15:02] Esora
    Cooling? Let's see...
[15:05] Esora
    Some people take baths in cold water.
[15:08] Esora
    And there's stuff like
    soft serve ice cream.
[15:10] Neon
    Ice cream?
[15:12] Esora
    Oh, that's right.
[15:13] Esora
    You guys can just recharge
    instead of eating, right?
[15:17] Kei
    I'm starting to run low.
[15:18] Chrom
    We can withstand the heat,
[15:20] Chrom
    but cooling our Bodies still
    consumes a lot of energy.
[15:23] Neon
    Guys, should we all take a cold bath?
SIGN    Water...
SIGN    Oh!
[15:31] others
    Huh?
SIGN    Park Map
SIGN    That video was from when Esora was still little.
SIGN    I figured the park might be underwater now,
SIGN    so I tried searching for parks that have been flooded.
[15:50] Esora
    Ice cream...
[15:51] Neon
    Huh?
[15:52] Esora
    That day was so hot,
[15:55] Esora
    I asked Dad to buy me some ice cream.
[16:01] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    Here you go.
[16:02] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
    Wow!
[16:04] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    Hold on tight, okay?
[16:05] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
    Okay!
[16:07] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    Ah... Esora!
[16:10] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
    Dad, hurry, hurry!
[16:13] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    Esora!
[16:15] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
    Ouch, ouch!
[16:16] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    Esora, are you all right?
[16:20] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
    I-I'm sorry! The ice cream you bought for me...
[16:27] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    That's okay. Come here.
[16:31] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    I'm glad you didn't get hurt,
[16:34] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
    since you're a dear part
    of my family, Esora.
[16:42] Esora
    That's right. I...
[16:45] Esora
    We really were a family.
[16:49] Esora
    Dad...
[16:59] Chrom
    That melody...
[17:01] Neon
    I know it.
[17:03] Kei
    But from where?
[17:32] Esora
    Thank you very much.
[17:34] Esora
    Thanks to you guys, I think
    I know my father a little better.
[17:39] Esora
    All of you are really...
SIGN    Bye-bye!
[17:57] Neon
    Esora was crying.
SIGN    But he was smiling, too.
[18:01] Chrom
    Humans apparently have many kinds of tears.
[18:05] Kei
    By the way, what was that song just now?
[18:08] Neon
    I don't know.
[18:09] Chrom
    We were all singing it together.
SIGN    Four people singing one song...?
SIGN    Guys!
[18:18] Chrom; Neon; Kei
    Huh?
SIGN    Let's go to Babel one more time!
[18:20] Kei
    What now, all of a sudden?
SIGN    Let's sing that song together!
[18:24] Chrom
    I see. We can all sing one song together.
[18:28] Neon
    Just like the top Climbers.
[18:30] Kei
    You know, that just might work.
SIGN    Let's go!
SIGN    To Babel!
[20:10] Denta
    Babel first Climber Stage, cleared!
[20:14] Denta
    Next time, you'll move up a level!
SIGN    Yeah!
[20:19] Night
    Wow.
[20:20] Night
    Looks like we have some...
[20:22] Light
    ...interesting newcomers.
SIGN    We did it! We did it!
[21:59] Neon
    Cobalt, keep it down.
SIGN    But we actually cleared a stage!
[22:04] Kei
    I didn't realize the reward
    would be that small, though.
[22:07] Kei
    It won't make a dent in the electricity bill.
[22:09] Chrom
    If we can beat the next stage,
    we can pay more—
SIGN    What's wrong?
[22:14] Kei
    Over there. There's someone on the ground.
SIGN    Huh?
[22:20] Kei
    Hey, are you okay?
[22:23] Chrom
    I can detect alcohol on his breath.
[22:26] Neon
    He's just a drunk.
SIGN    Mister! You can't sleep here!
[22:31] Mister
    No problem.
[22:34] Kei
    This isn't good.
[22:35] Chrom
    What should we do?
[22:37] Ritz #9A
    Mister? Mister, where are you?
[22:41] Ritz #9B
    Mister?
[22:42] Another Ritz?
    Mister?
[22:44] Ritz #9B
    Mister, hold on tight.
[22:46] Mister
    What the hell you doin'?
[22:48] Ritz #9A
    Thank you for your cooperation.
[22:48] Mister
    I'm not drunk enough to need your help!
[22:51] Mister
    You talking steel drum!
[22:53] Chrom
    He must be from the factory.
[22:55] Neon
    They must have it really rough.
SIGN    At least we were able to do a good deed.
SIGN    Okay, should we head back home?
[23:02] Neon
    Cobalt...
[23:04] Kei
    That hat...
SIGN    Ah!
[23:08] Kei
    Is anyone here?
SIGN    Please excuse us.
[23:12] Neon
    Is it okay for us to sneak in?
[23:14] Chrom
    Well, we didn't really have a choice.
SIGN    Authorized Personnel Only
SIGN    Safety First
SIGN    Safety First
SIGN    That guy is probably looking for his hat right now.
[23:21] Kei
    If we get caught, we'll
    just have to explain.
[23:27] Kei
    What was that?
[23:28] Neon
    Something fell.
[23:34] Kei
    Did it fall... in there?
[23:37] Neon
    But from where?
SIGN    Isn't that the robot from before?

[00:23] Announcer
    Accident detected. Accident detected.
[00:26] Announcer
    Police and emergency vehicles
    will be dispatched immediately.
[00:33] Bora
    Late last night,
    at a robot disposal facility,
[00:36] Bora
    a manager fell to his death into a blast
    furnace, followed by a work robot.
[00:41] Bora
    The facility is old and has no surveillance
    camera footage, so the cause is unknown.
[00:45] Bora
    Currently, we are investigating it
    as both an accident and a crime.
SIGN    Bora
[00:49] Bora
    There are four central persons of interest.
[00:51] Bora
    Or rather, subjects of interest.
[00:53] Bora
    We have determined
    that they are all Androids.
[00:56] Takara
    These are Androids?
[00:58] Bora
    Compared to normal Androids, these four
    have no unusual physical characteristics.
[01:03] Bora
    Reports said that they were hard
    to differentiate at first.
[01:06] Takara
    Fine, I get it.
[01:08] Takara
    Geez, a human and a robot
    falling in together...
SIGN    Robot Inclusionists Demand Revisions to Constitution
    Exclusionists Refuse, Leading to Demonstrations
[01:12] Takara
    I bet this'll stir up trouble
[01:13] Takara
    between the inclusionist
    and exclusionist factions again.
[01:16] Takara
    Okay. I'll leave the Android investigation
    in your hands, Lieutenant Bora.
SIGN    Lieutenant Bora
SIGN    Investigate the four Androids who are the primary
    persons of interest in the blast furnace incident
[01:21] Takara
    I brought you in to help
    with our staffing problems.
[01:25] Takara
    You'll make yourself useful, won't you,
[01:27] Takara
    my test-run Android friend?
SIGN    Technoroid
SIGN    Then all of a sudden, I heard this voice go, "Aah!"
SIGN    And then something fell from above and whizzed right past me.
[03:08] Kei
    After that, the work robot fell...
[03:11] Chrom
    ...and disappeared in the blast furnace.
[03:13] Chrom
    As for anything beyond that...
[03:15] Neon
    ...I don't know.
[03:17] Bora
    Even after checking against data
    from the other work robots,
[03:20] Bora
    there's a high probability the witnesses
    were simply there by chance.
SIGN    Hey, aren't there any other people here?
[03:23] Kei
    I don't know.
[03:24] Bora
    However,
[03:26] Bora
    their registered owner names are corrupted,
SIGN    How much longer will we be here?
[03:28] Chrom
    It sure is taking longer than I thought.
[03:29] Bora
    and that is suspicious.
[03:30] Kei
    We gave them all our data.
    Isn't that enough?

[03:30] Bora
    But since that field isn't blank, abandoned
    device repossession can't apply here.
[03:34] Neon
    I wanna go home.
[03:36] Announcement
    Three minutes remain until
     the time limit is reached.

SIGN    Since we're disconnected from the network,
    we don't even know what time it is.

[03:40] Announcement
    It is prohibited to hold robots, Androids,
    or persons of interest for observation

[03:40] Chrom
    By my estimation, it's around 8 AM.
[03:43] Kei
    That means...
[03:43] Announcement
    in excess of 12 hours without charges.
[03:44] Neon
    It's been 12 hours?
[03:46] Bora
    Understood.
[03:48] Bora
    Release the witnesses.
[03:49] Bora
    I will begin the follow-up investigation,
[03:52] Bora
    and do background checks
    on these four units.
SIGN    We can finally leave!
[03:58] Neon
    It's already so bright.
[03:59] Kei
    I wouldn't have thought it would take
    all night to take our statements.
[04:03] Chrom
    It took some time to cross-check everything
    with data from the other work robots.
SIGN    Oh! It's Esola!
[04:10] Esola
    Guys!
SIGN    Hiya!
[04:13] Chrom
    So we meet again.
[04:14] Esola
    Why are you here?
[04:16] Bora
    Beginning investigation.
[04:18] Bora
    Following subjects.
[04:21] Esola
    Oh, so that's what happened...
[04:23] Esola
    That must be why I was
    called here this morning.
[04:26] Kei
    I bet it's because we talked about
    how we met you yesterday.
[04:29] Chrom
    I'm sorry we got you caught up in this.
[04:32] Esola
    Don't worry about it.
[04:33] Esola
    You all helped me out so much.
[04:36] Esola
    By the way, I didn't know Androids
    could become Climbers at Babel, too.
[04:41] Esola
    I wish I could see you on the Climb Stage.
SIGN    Then you should come watch!
[04:45] Esola
    Come? You mean...
SIGN    To Babel!
[04:48] Neon
    Right now?
SIGN    Yeah, I want to hurry and clear the next Stage!
[04:52] Esola
    But...
SIGN    Come on! Hurry!
[04:53] Esola
    Wha— Wait a—
SIGN    Oopsie!
[04:59] Kei
    It popped off again.
[05:00] Esola
    A-Are you okay?
SIGN    I'm fine!
SIGN    I'll just put it back on.
SIGN    There we go.
SIGN    Huh? Why?
[05:13] Esola
    Um, would you mind if I took a look at it?
SIGN    You?
[05:24] Esola
    How does that feel?
SIGN    Whoa!
SIGN    Amazing, Esola!
[05:30] Esola
    Actually, I study robot
    engineering at college.
[05:34] Esola
    That was Dad's job too, so I thought
    it would bring us closer.
[05:37] Kei
    You got into college that young?
[05:39] Chrom
    How old are you, Esola?
[05:41] Esola
    I'm 13. I skipped ahead.
[05:44] Neon
    Wow!
[05:45] Esola
    I only made basic repairs,
[05:47] Esola
    so you still have to get
    a proper maintenance check later.
SIGN    Guys, you should all let Esola check you out!
SIGN    I feel way better now!
[05:55] Neon
    Cobalt...
[05:57] Chrom
    Absolutely not.
[05:58] Chrom
    Esola has to be getting home.
[06:00] Esola
    Um...
[06:01] Esola
    If it's okay with you guys, I don't mind.
[06:05] Esola
    I want to repay the favor, anyway.
[06:07] Kei
    You're a real good kid.
[06:09] Neon
    Is it okay?
[06:10] Esola
    Sure! If you'll let me.
[06:12] Chrom
    Thank you very much.
[06:14] Chrom
    Well then, seeing as it's nearly noon,
    shall we go somewhere else?
[06:22] Esola
    Um, haven't you all been
    undergoing regular maintenance?
[06:26] Chrom
    Maintenance costs money.
[06:29] Chrom
    Right now our priority is making
    payments on our home electrical bills.
SIGN    That's why we went to Babel to became Climbers.
[06:37] Neon
    Gotta earn that prize money.
[06:39] Esola
    Wait, then who's your owner?
[06:43] Neon
    I can hear something.
[06:44] Esola
    Music?
[06:46] Kei
    Over there?
SIGN    Wow!
[07:10] Nobel
    What you have just witnessed
[07:12] Nobel
    is the Dance of Victory,
    made to conquer all of Babel.
[07:15] Chrom
    Conquer all of Babel?
SIGN    Hey, man. Do you know a lot about Babel?
[07:22] Nobel
    Entertainment tower Babel.
[07:24] Nobel
    Its large stage is divided into five levels.
[07:28] Nobel
    If your performance gains recognition,
    you climb a Stage and win a prize.
[07:33] Nobel
    The prize money increases with each level,
[07:35] Nobel
    and if you clear the fifth and highest Stage,
[07:39] Nobel
    you get a reward so big
    it'll make your head spin.
[07:42] Nobel
    Also, clearing the levels at Babel
    becomes more difficult with each one.
[07:47] Nobel
    But if you go on with this dance of mine,
    victory will be yours, no doubt!
[07:52] Kei
    You sure seem confident.
[07:54] Kei
    Do you have experience
    climbing Babel yourself?
[07:57] Nobel
    I'm just a choreographer.
[07:59] Nobel
    My job is to sell routines to Climbers
     who then take them up Babel.
[08:04] Nobel
    But to be honest,
[08:06] Nobel
    I may or may not have
    choreographed certain top Climbers.
SIGN    Top Climbers?
[08:12] Chrom
    You can't mean...
[08:15] Nobel
    So, what do you think?
[08:16] Nobel
    Do you guys want to take my Dance
    of Victory to the top of Babel?
SIGN    Yeah, the Dance of Victory!
SIGN    Guys, let's ask him!
[08:25] Neon
    But... it's expensive, isn't it?
[08:27] Kei
    We don't have any money.
[08:29] Nobel
    I don't need any money.
[08:31] Esola
    Huh? It's free?
SIGN    Really?!
[08:33] Chrom
    Wait a minute.
[08:35] Chrom
    Nothing in life is free.
[08:37] Chrom
    Nine out of ten times, these offers
    are scams. They said so on TV.
[08:41] Neon
    Very fishy.
[08:42] Takara
    Okay, okay. Then how about this?
[08:46] Nobel
    If you clear a Stage on Babel,
[08:48] Nobel
    then you give me part of the
    reward money as compensation.
[08:53] Chrom
    In that case, this may work out.
SIGN    All right! It's decided!
SIGN    Esola, could you send us an operation request?
[09:00] Esola
    Oh, sure.
[09:02] Nobel
    Oh, and would you tell
    me your Climb Name?
[09:06] Neon
    Climb Name?
[09:08] Chrom
    The team name for performers
    who climb Babel.
[09:11] Kei
    We haven't really thought about that.
[09:15] Esola
    What's wrong?
SIGN    I'm almost out of battery.
[09:18] Neon
    We've gotta go back and charge.
[09:20] Chrom
    Let's go home for today.
SIGN    Oh, well.
SIGN    Under Renovation
SIGN    Thank you for
     your cooperation.
SIGN    See ya later, mister choreographer. We'll be back tomorrow!
[09:35] Esola
    May I come in?
SIGN    Of course! Come in, come in!
[09:40] Esola
    Okay then, please excuse me.
[09:43] Neon
    Excuse... what?
[09:45] Esola
    Um, it's a kind of greeting you
    say when entering a building.
[09:49] Neon
    Huh...
SIGN    Me too, then. Please excuse me—
[09:52] Esola
    Ah, but when you go into your
    own house, you say, "I'm home."
SIGN    Is that right?
[09:57] Chrom
    I was aware of that,
    but I have never actually used it.
SIGN    Okay, one more time.
SIGN    I'm home!
[10:03] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[10:06] Eliza
    My, how unusual.
[10:08] Eliza
    You seem to be a visitor.
[10:10] Eliza
    Hello. I am personal AI assistant Eliza.
[10:14] Esola
    H-Hello. My name is Esola Shibaura.
[10:18] Eliza
    Esola Shibaura...
[10:25] Eliza
    I have registered the new information.
SIGN    Eliza, and Chrom, and Kei, and Neon, and me.
SIGN    We're the family that lives here.
SIGN    Oh, and that's Nora.
[10:36] Chrom
    A stray cat that comes in from time to time.
[10:38] Esola
    Does that mean their owner is...
[10:41] Eliza
    What's this?
[10:43] Eliza
    Cobalt's damage level appears
    to have been reduced slightly.
[10:46] Eliza
    Did you get repairs?
SIGN    Esola fixed me up!
[10:50] Eliza
    You did?
[10:51] Esola
    Um...
[10:52] Esola
    We were outside, so
    I could only do basic repairs,
[10:57] Esola
    but if you don't mind, would you let me
    perform full maintenance on you all?
SIGN    Huh?
[11:01] Chrom
    But we are unable to
    compensate you for the labor.
[11:05] Esola
    You don't need to pay me.
[11:07] Esola
    I'm not a professional engineer, anyway.
SIGN    Are you sure?
[11:11] Esola
    Yeah!
[11:12] Esola
    It's strange to see a house of just Androids
    living together in a place like this,
[11:18] Esola
    but it's also kind of wonderful.
[11:24] Esola
    I've never seen code like this before.
[11:29] Neon
    That sound...
SIGN    Is that what you call a keyboard?
[11:33] Esola
    Ah, yes.
[11:35] Esola
    It's the original one that my father used.
[11:38] Esola
    I learned it by copying him.
    It is a little unusual, though.
[11:44] Chrom
    It sounds like music.
[11:46] Kei
    Definitely.
[11:51] Bora
    Two hours after returning.
    Currently nothing to report.
[11:56] Girl
    Mama!
[11:57] Bora
    What has happened?
[11:58] Girl
    I don't know where home is!
[12:02] Bora
    New case confirmed.
[12:03] Bora
    Adjusting duty priorities.
[12:06] Bora
    I will search for your residence.
SIGN    Esola, are you going home already?
[12:12] Chrom
    Will you be all right on your own?
[12:14] Kei
    Should we come along?
[12:15] Esola
    I'm fine! You all should keep charging.
[12:20] Esola
    Also, is it all right if I start watching
    your dance practice tomorrow?
[12:24] Kei
    Fine with me.
[12:26] Neon
    Why, though?
[12:27] Esola
    I think it's best if I keep an eye on you
    while I'm performing maintenance.
SIGN    So we get to see you again tomorrow, Esola?
[12:38] Esola
    Yes! I'll look forward to it!
[12:42] Esola
    I'm home!
[12:45] Esola
    Caron, thanks for watching the house.
[12:47] Esola
    A lot of really good things happened today.
[12:57] Esola
    Has home... always been this quiet?
SIGN    Technoroid
[13:11] Nobel
    I'm glad you all made it.
[13:13] Nobel
    Let's go ahead and start
    our Babel victory lesson.
SIGN    We can do it!
[13:17] Kei
    We're fully charged today, too.
[13:19] Chrom
    We are very good at recording data..
[13:21] Neon
    We'll work hard.
[13:24] Nobel
    Lots of energy, I see.
[13:25] Nobel
    Let's use that momentum to climb up Babel!
[13:30] Nobel
    Five, six, seven, eight.
[13:32] Nobel
    One, two, three, four,
[13:33] Nobel
    five, six, seven, eight.
SIGN    Oh, no!
SIGN    It came off again.
[13:48] Esola
    I'm so sorry! Please let me take a look.
[13:51] Esola
    My adjustments might have been a bit off.
[13:54] Esola
    A little more here...
[14:20] Kei
    Our Bodies have been in good shape recently.
[14:22] Chrom
    All thanks to Esola.
[14:24] Esola
    I'm glad I can be of help.
SIGN    We're gonna be unbeatable now!
[14:28] Neon
    Unbeatable...
[14:30] Esola
    With a few more minor adjustments,
    your maintenance will be complete.
[14:34] Esola
    Then I think you'll be all right
    without me around.
SIGN    Huh?
[14:38] Esola
    We don't have much time left together,
    but I look forward to spending it with you.
[14:49] Nobel
    You've almost got it down now.
[14:52] Nobel
    Today, why don't you show me
    from start to finish?
SIGN    Sure.
[14:56] Chrom
    Understood.
[14:58] Nobel
    Hmm?
[15:09] Nobel
    And end on the pose!
[15:14] Nobel
    What's wrong today, guys?
[15:15] Nobel
    The more you dance, the worse you get.
[15:18] Neon
    I don't get it.
[15:19] Kei
    How would we know?
[15:21] Chrom
    It seems our control systems
    are improperly calibrated.
[15:24] Esola
    I'll look at it right away.
SIGN    Esola...
[15:27] Esola
    Once I finish the final maintenance,
[15:29] Esola
    maybe I can do a boot test
    to find the cause.
SIGN    Final...
[15:33] Esola
    Yes.
[15:34] Esola
    Last time, your damage level
    was under three percent,
[15:37] Esola
    so I think this will be the las—
SIGN    I won't do it!
[15:40] Esola
    Huh? Cobalt?
[15:44] Kei
    Hey!
[15:45] Neon
    Cobalt!
[15:47] Chrom
    I apologize. We'll be right back.
[15:51] Nobel
    So that's how it is. How unexpected.
[15:55] Esola
    Huh?
[15:56] Nobel
    Aren't you going after them?
[15:58] Esola
    Ah...
[16:02] Nobel
    Something has sprung up
    inside your Android friends.
[16:06] Nobel
    What do you think it is?
[16:10] Neon
    Hey, Cobalt!
[16:11] Chrom
    Please wait.
[16:13] Kei
    What the heck's your problem?
SIGN    I don't know.
[16:17] Neon
    You don't know?
SIGN    I don't know! But...
SIGN    I don't want Esola's final maintenance.
[16:27] Kei
    I feel the same.
SIGN    Huh?
[16:30] Neon
    Me, too.
[16:31] Chrom
    It appears I was not
    the only one thinking that.
SIGN    You guys...
SIGN    If the lessons end, the maintenance ends too,
SIGN    and we won't ever see Esola again.
SIGN    When I realized that, my Body started to feel weak.
[16:49] Neon
    Yeah.
[16:50] Kei
    This is a first for me.
SIGN    Guys, what should we do?
[16:57] Chrom
    You know...
[16:59] Chrom
    We do have one option.
[17:04] Esola
    Cobalt!
[17:06] Esola
    Please answer me!
[17:10] Esola
    I wonder if his Body wasn't feeling right.
[17:13] Esola
    And there's only a little work left.
[17:16] Esola
    But...
[17:18] Esola
    once I finish the maintenance, that's it.
[17:22] Esola
    Those four and I won't...
[17:27] Esola
    Cobalt?!
[17:30] Esola
    Who are you?
[17:31] Bora
    Special Investigations Android
[17:32] Bora
    of the Metropolitan
    Police Detective Unit,
[17:35] Bora
    PD-0321 WG, Lieutenant Bora.
[17:39] Esola
    A police Android?
[17:42] Bora
    I would like to ask you about the four
    Android units you were just with.
[17:47] Esola
    Huh?
[17:48] Bora
    Do you know about their owner?
[17:52] Esola
    Owner?
[17:53] Bora
    Those units have suspicious data
    in their owner name registrations.
[17:58] Bora
    If they were to be classified
    as ownerless Androids,
[18:01] Bora
    we would have no choice
    but to confiscate them
[18:04] Bora
    and immediately shut down their operations.
[18:07] Esola
    What should I do?
[18:08] Bora
    Elevated heart rate confirmed.
[18:11] Bora
    Body temperature rising.
[18:12] Bora
    Perspiration detected.
[18:14] Bora
    It appears that you know something.
[18:18] Esola
    I just...
[18:19] Bora
    If you do have information,
    your cooperation is requested.
[18:24] Esola
    I... have to protect them.
[18:30] Bora
    Your immediate cooperation is re—
[18:32] Esola
    I just...
[18:34] Esola
    want to protect them.
[18:37] Esola
    I will protect the four of them myself!
[18:40] Bora
    What?
SIGN    Esola!
SIGN    Esola!
SIGN    Quit bullying Esola!
[18:46] Esola
    Guys!
[18:47] Kei
    Are you okay?
[18:49] Chrom
    Aren't you...?
[18:50] Neon
    He was at the police station before.
[18:53] Bora
    It seems there's a connection between you all
    beyond your chance meeting the other day.
[19:01] Bora
    Data updated?
[19:05] Bora
    Is this...?
[19:08] Kei
    What happened?
[19:09] Chrom
    He stopped moving.
[19:10] Neon
    How weird.
[19:13] Esola
    Um...
[19:14] Bora
    Suspicions resolved.
[19:15] Bora
    Returning to headquarters for reporting.
[19:17] Esola
    Huh?
[19:19] Neon
    What just happened?
[19:20] Kei
    Who the heck was that, anyway?
SIGN    Esola!
[19:25] Chrom
    Are you okay?
[19:26] Esola
    I-I'm all right. It was just a huge relief.
SIGN    Esola, you know,
SIGN    when I thought about your maintenance ending,
SIGN    and how we wouldn't see you every day anymore,
SIGN    I got a strange feeling right here.
[19:43] Neon
    It suddenly felt tight.
[19:45] Kei
    And the energy drained out of me.
[19:48] Chrom
    I don't want the maintenance to end.
    That's what I thought.
[19:53] Esola
    You mean you'd get lonely and miss me?
SIGN    Lonely?
[20:00] Esola
    Me, too.
[20:01] Esola
    When I thought about never seeing you again,
[20:03] Esola
    I got lonely and felt this pain in my chest.
[20:07] Neon
    Same here.
[20:08] Kei
    Same with me.
SIGN    So that's it.
SIGN    We feel lonely if we're separated from you.
SIGN    We'd be so lonely!
SIGN    So we decided to ask you for something.
[20:29] Esola
    Ask me?
SIGN    Esola, even when our maintenance is finished,
SIGN    we want you to stay with us!
SIGN    Come and live with us!
[22:17] Denta
    Second Climb Stage of Babel, cleared!
[22:21] Denta
    Next time, you go up another level!
[22:27] Esola
    Guys!
SIGN    Esola!
[22:30] Kei
    How was our performance?
[22:32] Esola
    It was so cool!
[22:34] Esola
    I was so moved, it took my breath away!
[22:38] Esola
    Oh!
[22:40] Kei
    What's wrong?
[22:42] Esola
    Knocks... Your names...
[22:43] Esola
    How about KNoCC for a Climb Name?
[22:47] Esola
    Because your performance is so exciting,
[22:49] Esola
    it feels like it's knocking
    on the viewers' hearts!
[22:51] Esola
    You know?
[22:53] Esola
    Ah, sorry, that was weird, huh?
SIGN    That's awesome, Esola!
[22:59] Esola
    Huh?
[23:00] Kei
    Has a great ring to it.
[23:02] Neon
    It's cool.
[23:03] Chrom
    What a lovely Climb Name. Thank you so much!
[23:07] Esola
    Sure!
[23:10] Nobel
    The alteration wasn't
    caused by the Climb Stage.
[23:14] Nobel
    I thought so.
[23:17] Takara
    Huh...
[23:18] Takara
    I guess Androids get lost in thought, too.
[23:21] Takara
    Something on your mind?
[23:23] Bora
    No.
[23:25] Bora
    I will continue my investigation
    into the blast furnace incident.
[23:29] Esola
    E-Excuse me, please!
[23:32] Neon
    Bzzt! Wrong!
[23:33] Esola
    Huh?
[23:34] Chrom
    Esola.
[23:35] Kei
    That's the wrong one.
SIGN    Starting today, it's "I'm home!" Okay?
[23:43] Esola
    I'm home!
[23:45] KNoCC
    Welcome home, Esola!

[00:01] Man in 20s
    Oh yeah, that blast furnace incident.
[00:03] Man in 20s
    I heard a manager fell in.
[00:05] Woman in 20s
    Was it really an accident, though?
[00:07] Woman in 20s
    I heard the robot did it as revenge
    against a violent manager.
[00:11] Man in 20s
    What? You mean it went berserk?
    That's bad news.
[00:15] Man in 20s
    Robots really are no good, after all.
[00:24] Esola
    Wh-What?
[00:26] Kei
    You have to eat so many times each day.
[00:29] Kei
    Must be tough to be human.
[00:31] Chrom
    It certainly does appear inefficient,
[00:33] Chrom
    but apparently for humans,
    feeding does more than just sustain life.
[00:37] Chrom
    It also plays a significant
    role as entertainment.
[00:40] Neon
    You mean it's like a hobby?
SIGN    Then you wanna eat more?
SIGN    I'll make all sorts of stuff for you, Esola!
[00:46] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[00:49] Eliza
    Do you intend to cause a commotion
    each and every time Esola has a meal?
SIGN    But it's Esola!
SIGN    Esola lives with us now!
[01:00] Kei
    Caron does, too.
[01:01] Esola
    Pretty lively here, huh, Caron?
[01:05] Esola
    The police station?
SIGN    Technoroid
[02:53] Esola
    Is everything okay, guys?
SIGN    What do you mean?
[02:57] Chrom
    We were only in sleep mode.
[02:59] Neon
    So boring.
[03:01] Bora
    I'm grateful for your cooperation.
[03:03] Esola
    It's fine.
[03:05] Esola
    This isn't the police station, though.
[03:07] Esola
    Why'd we have to come here?
[03:09] Bora
    This is a police-affiliated
    research facility.
[03:13] Bora
    It provides research staff
[03:14] Bora
    and cutting-edge AI research
    technology for special investigations.
[03:19] Esola
    Doesn't the police station already have
    the data about the blast furnace incident?
[03:23] Bora
    I am not obliged to answer that.
SIGN    Esola, let's go home.
[03:27] Esola
    Oh, yeah.
SIGN    When we get back, I'll cook you something else!
[03:33] Esola
    But I'm still full.
[03:35] Researcher
    We are ready to begin analysis
    of the four units' data.
[03:35] Esola
    I am a little thirsty, though.
[03:39] Bora
    In that case, please begin.
[03:43] Esola
    Hmm.
[03:45] Neon
    Esola?
[03:46] Esola
    Huh?
[03:47] Neon
    What's wrong?
[03:48] Esola
    Ah, just something on my mind.
SIGN    Oh!
SIGN    Sing, dance, and see what awaits beyond those levels. Is it freedom? Glory?
SIGN    Esteemed Climbers, now is the time to assemble at Babel, the tower of wisdom!
SIGN    STAND-ALONE is here, too!
[03:54] Kei
    The same guys from before?
[03:56] Esola
    I see them a lot lately.
[03:58] Esola
    They're really famous Climbers, right?
[04:01] Chrom
    STAND-ALONE are the top Climbers.
[04:04] Chrom
    They're so popular, they also
     work as poster boys
[04:06] Chrom
    for the World Government,
     which manages Babel.
[04:09] Chrom
    The leader of STAND-ALONE is a reserved
    and dignified perfectionist, Kite Hitotsubashi.
[04:16] Chrom
    He has many passionate fans who,
[04:17] Chrom
    enchanted by his distinguished
    aura and powerful dance,
[04:21] Chrom
    follow him to every performance.
[04:24] Esola
    Huh.
[04:25] Kei
    You sure know a lot about him.
[04:27] Chrom
    I read about him in a free
    magazine the other day.
SIGN    Hey, we should do something like this, too!
[04:33] Chrom
    Something like what?
SIGN    We should get a cool picture of KNoCC like this!
[04:38] Kei
    What do we need that for?
[04:40] Neon
    That person's acting strange.
SIGN    What's wrong?
SIGN    Miss, are you feeling sick?
[04:53] Chrom
    You look very pale.
[04:55] Nagi
    Thank you for asking.
[04:57] Esola
    Are you all right?
[04:58] Nagi
    Yes, I just need to rest.
[05:02] Nagi
    I'm a patient at the hospital downstairs.
[05:05] Esola
    Okay, let us help you to your room.
[05:08] Kite
    Nagi!
[05:10] Kite
    Nagi, are you okay?
[05:12] Nagi
    Big Brother...
[05:14] Kite
    You came up here again?
SIGN    Wait, this is...
SIGN    Kite from STAND-ALONE?!
[05:27] Nagi
    I'm sorry for causing so much trouble.
[05:31] Esola
    I'm glad it was nothing serious.
[05:37] Kite
    Don't overdo it.
[05:39] Chrom
    The magazine said that he was very reserved,
    but it seems that data had inaccuracies.
[05:44] Neon
    A gap.
[05:45] Esola
    Q-Quiet, guys.
[05:47] Kite
    You all are Climbers at Babel too, right?
SIGN    You know about us?
[05:52] Kite
    Yeah.
[05:53] Kite
    I saw that there were some
     interesting newcomers.
[05:57] Kite
    What's your Climb Name?
SIGN    KNoCC! Esola chose it for us.
[06:03] Kite
    I'll remember that.
[06:04] Nagi
    You're the first Climbers I've met
    outside my brother's group.
SIGN    Does that mean you're interested in Babel?
SIGN    Have you ever been?
[06:12] Nagi
    No, I haven't.
[06:14] Neon
    But you were staring
    at Babel earlier, right?
[06:16] Nagi
    Ah...
SIGN    Babel is wild!
SIGN    You get money when you win!
[06:24] Chrom
    Yes. It lets us pay our electricity bill.
[06:26] Nagi
    Electricity bill?
[06:28] Neon
    We're still behind in our payments.
[06:31] Kei
    We gotta pay those off soon.
SIGN    Yeah, if we aren't able to charge, we'll be forced into shutdown!
[06:38] Kite
    Forced shutdown?
[06:40] Chrom
    Yes, because we are Androids.
[06:44] Neon
    Esola is human, though.
[06:50] Nagi
    Kite... Ah!
SIGN    Got it.
SIGN    Safe!
SIGN    Here.
[07:05] Kite
    Don't touch her.
[07:07] Kite
    We want nothing to do with you robots.
[07:11] Kite
    Get out of here.
SIGN    Kite?
[07:15] Kite
    Get out!
SIGN    Kite sure was mad.
[07:22] Chrom
    He said he wants nothing to do with robots.
[07:25] Neon
    Why's that?
[07:26] Esola
    Some people are just like that.
[07:29] Esola
    It's pretty sad, though.
[07:32] Nagi
    Wait!
[07:34] Esola
    Nagi?
SIGN    What's wrong?
[07:37] Nagi
    I... have something... I want to tell you.
[07:44] Kite
    Why the hell are Androids...
[07:46] Kiriya
    Please excuse me.
[07:48] Kiriya
    Would you happen to be
    Kite from STAND-ALONE?
[07:51] Kite
    Who's asking?
[07:52] Kiriya
    Pleased to meet you.
[07:54] Kiriya
    My name is Kiriya Madarame.
[07:57] Kiriya
    I'm a member of an activist organization
[07:59] Kiriya
    that works to protect the future
    and dignity of the human race.
[08:08] Kite
    What does the robot exclusionist
    faction want with me?
[08:13] Nagi
    I'm sorry about before.
[08:15] Nagi
    I'm sure you could tell, but my
    brother hates Androids.
[08:23] Nagi
    A long time ago, we got
    into a traffic accident.
[08:28] Nagi
    A car driven by an Android
    crashed into our car,
[08:33] Nagi
    and our parents...
[08:36] (Flashback) Kite (8 yr)
    Nagi, are you okay? Nagi?!
[08:39] (Flashback) Android Driver
    First...
[08:41] (Flashback) Android Driver
    Safety first...
[08:43] (Flashback) Android Driver
    Ev-Every d-day, safety fir-fir—
[08:47] (Flashback) Android Driver
    Com... for-fort... fort...
[08:50] Kiriya
    After you lost your parents in the accident,
    it seems you suffered tremendously.
[08:56] Kiriya
    Your younger sister's medical
    expenses are quite high.
[08:59] Kiriya
    The reason you continue
    performing as a top Climber
[09:02] Kiriya
    is to support your sister, correct?
[09:04] Kite
    There are medical bills to pay,
    but I go on stage for my own reasons.
[09:09] Kite
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[09:11] Kiriya
    I apologize if that sounded insensitive.
[09:13] Kiriya
    The last thing our organization wants is
    to add to the suffering of people like you.
[09:21] Kiriya
    I merely wanted to introduce myself today.
[09:25] Kiriya
    I will contact you again at a later date.
[09:33] Nagi
    I'm still in the hospital now
    because of the accident's effects.
[09:37] Nagi
    My brother's always taken care of me.
[09:42] Nagi
    Of course, that's no excuse for him
    to say such awful things to you.
[09:47] Nagi
    I'm really very sorry.
[09:50] Nagi
    It's just...
[09:51] Nagi
    I wanted you to know he wouldn't
    say things like that for no reason.
[09:56] Esola
    You must really love your brother.
[10:00] Nagi
    Yeah.
[10:05] Nagi
    You know, I have a wish
    I've always wanted to fulfill.
[10:08] Neon
    A wish?
[10:10] Nagi
    Someday, I want to go see
    a real performance at Babel.
[10:15] Nagi
    Directly, with my own eyes.
[10:18] Nagi
    If I get well enough to do that, I won't
    be a burden on my brother anymore.
[10:23] Nagi
    He'll be able to stand freely
    on the stage he loves so much.
[10:27] Nagi
    That's why I dreamed of going someday.
SIGN    Let's go, then! We'll take you with us!
[10:38] Nagi
    I can't.
SIGN    Huh?
[10:40] Nagi
    I've been waiting forever,
[10:41] Nagi
    but it's really difficult to find
    all of the organ donors I need.
[10:46] Nagi
    I can't leave the hospital until
    I've had some transplants.
[10:52] Nagi
    I don't think my wish will ever come true.
[10:57] Esola
    Nagi...
[11:02] Nagi
    I'm sorry. We only just met,
    and I'm telling you all this.
[11:06] Nagi
    You're all so easy to talk to!
[11:09] Kei
    Are you okay with the fact
    that we're Androids, Nagi?
[11:13] Nagi
    I've been in the hospital
    long enough to know
[11:17] Nagi
    a lot of Androids and robots are good.
[11:22] Nagi
    Good luck on your next Climb Stage!
SIGN    Does that really mean Nagi can't go to Babel?
[11:33] Chrom
    She did say that she can't
    leave the hospital
[11:36] Chrom
    without multiple transplants.
SIGN    I know, I know, but I still wanna do something for her!
[11:42] Kei
    If we did anything,
    wouldn't Kite get upset?
SIGN    I mean, yeah, but...
[11:48] Esola
    I know you want to make
    Nagi's wish come true.
SIGN    Yeah, Esola!
[11:54] Kei
    It's not like we're against that.
[11:57] Chrom
    We have to find a way to get her out
    of the hospital without straining her body.
SIGN    Guys!
[12:05] Chrom
    Hmm. There must be a good way...
SIGN    I've got it!
SIGN    If she can't go to Babel, Babel can come to her!
[12:17] All
    Huh?
SIGN    Technoroid
SIGN    Cobalt
SIGN    Recreate a Babel performance for Nagi
[12:21] Esola
    I sent you an operation request.
SIGN    Cobalt
SIGN    Recreate a Babel performance for Nagi
SIGN    Yeah! Let's get ready!
[12:27] Chrom
    Certainly, if we put on
    a performance in the hospital,
[12:30] Chrom
    Nagi won't have to go outside.
[12:32] Esola
    It's a great idea, Cobalt!
SIGN    I know, right?
[12:35] Kei
    Still, I'm surprised you were
    able to find this room.
[12:38] Esola
    They told me at the
    information desk when I asked.
[12:41] Esola
    They used to use it for conferences,
[12:44] Esola
    but now it's basically a storage room,
    so they said to go ahead.
[12:49] Neon
    There is room for improvement.
[12:52] Kei
    Might as well start cleaning.
SIGN    By the way, what about the music?
[12:57] Neon
    Maybe a new song?
[12:59] Chrom
    Shall we search for something?
[13:01] Kei
    Something different from before.
SIGN    How about something that's like, "Bang! Boom!"?
[13:05] Esola
    I'll go borrow some cleaning supplies.
[13:06] Chrom
    That's too abstract...
[13:10] Esola
    They're all so cool.
[13:13] Esola
    I wish I could do something, too.
[13:17] Nobel
    How about music?
[13:21] Nobel
    Why don't you try writing
    the music they're looking for?
[13:25] Esola
    Um, and you are...?
[13:27] Nobel
    Ah, I'm sorry.
[13:29] Nobel
    I was watching you all before
    and couldn't help myself.
[13:34] Nobel
    No need to be on guard.
[13:37] Nobel
    You could make the music for them.
    Taking action is the important part.
[13:42] Esola
    Huh?
[13:44] Nobel
    And I'm sure you already know how to do it.
[13:54] Esola
    Are you...?
[13:56] Esola
    Huh?
SIGN    Esola! Listen!
SIGN    Neon keeps talking nonsense!
[14:05] Neon
    First, we replace all of the wallpaper.
[14:08] Neon
    Then we redesign the whole room.
SIGN    See?
[14:11] Kei
    Where are we gonna get the money for that?
SIGN    Esola?
[14:14] Chrom
    Besides, we don't have
    permission for all that.
[14:14] Esola
    I wonder if I can make it.
[14:18] Chrom
    Make what?
[14:20] Neon
    The wallpaper?
[14:21] Esola
    The music.
[14:24] Kei
    The music?
[14:26] Chrom
    You, Esola?
[14:28] Esola
    S-Sorry! It was just a dumb idea.
[14:31] Esola
    There's no way, right? I've never
    studied songwriting or anything.
[14:36] Esola
    I was just trying to think
    of a way to help you all.
SIGN    That's great!
SIGN    A song by you!
[14:43] Neon
    That other time, you made
    my circuits feel all fuzzy.
[14:46] Kei
    That time? You mean during maintenance?
[14:49] Esola
    Really?
[14:50] Chrom
    Yes. Please write a song for us, Esola.
[14:59] Esola
    Then I want to try.
[15:01] Esola
    Let me give it a shot!
[15:05] Patient A
    Hey, did you hear?
[15:08] Patient A
    The Climb Group KNoCC
    is putting on a show at the hospital!
[15:12] Nagi
    That's what I heard.
[15:14] Patient A
    You're going, right?
[15:15] Nagi
    Um...
[15:16] Patient A
    Let's go!
[15:17] Patient A
    I know you really want to
    see a Babel show, right?
[15:20] Patient A
    And I know you secretly watch
    STAND-ALONE's live broadcasts, too!
[15:24] Nagi
    Shh! Don't say it so loud!
SIGN    Is that what you're using to write the song?
[15:35] Esola
    Yeah. I thought it might be
    kind of like what I always do.
[15:41] Chrom
    Performing maintenance, you mean?
[15:43] Esola
    Yeah.
[15:43] Esola
    I never imagined myself
    writing music before this,
[15:48] Esola
    but it's actually a whole lot
    more fun than I thought.
[15:55] Neon
    Next is the stage dressing.
[15:58] Neon
    I don't want Esola's song to be wasted.
SIGN    Mouse Transport
[16:03] Esola
    I've been wondering, but is that fabric...
SIGN    Ah! Those are our curtains!
[16:11] Neon
    I took them all down.
[16:13] Neon
    I'll hang them on the walls
    behind the stage.
[16:15] Chrom
    Neon's parameters are tuned
    toward an artistic sense,
[16:18] Chrom
    so he's very particular about aesthetics.
[16:21] Esola
    So that's why he's working
    this hard on the venue.
SIGN    Nora?
SIGN    What's this?
[16:32] Esola
    Oh, that's right! I forgot about that!
SIGN    Huh?
[16:34] Esola
    We might be able to use that
    for your performance.
SIGN    This thing?
SIGN    Special Performance
SIGN    Now Open
SIGN    Hi there, everyone! We're KNoCC!
SIGN    Have fun today, okay?
SIGN    Oh, Nagi!
SIGN    Thanks for coming!
[17:10] Chrom
    We hope you are all looking
    forward to the music today.
[17:13] Kei
    Our songwriter today was Esola!
[17:15] Audience
    Esola?
[17:16] Audience
    Who's that?
[17:17] Esola
    Guys...
SIGN    The five of us worked hard to bring you this show.
SIGN    Let's get started!
[17:30] Nagi
    Wow!
[17:32] Esola
    At least this gives it
    a Babel-like atmosphere.
[18:00] Audience
    Huh? What's that?
SIGN    All right, here we go!
[18:02] Patient A
    It's just like a show at Babel!
[18:04] Nagi
    This is...
[18:04] Esola
    How is there video?
[19:17] Nagi
    This is Babel...
[19:28] Kite
    Nagi?
[19:30] Nagi
    Big Brother...
[19:32] Nagi
    Someday, I'll come see
    a performance at Babel.
[19:37] Nagi
    I'm sure of it.
[19:56] Nagi
    That was really wonderful, everyone!
[19:59] Chrom
    Thank you very much.
SIGN    Make sure your wish comes true, Nagi!
[20:04] Nagi
    Huh?
SIGN    Just now, when I saw you in the audience,
SIGN    I wanted you to see a real show in Babel so badly, I felt it right here!
[20:13] Kei
    I think we caught some of your excitement.
[20:16] Chrom
    Could this be what it means to "wish"?
[20:20] Neon
    You have to go to Babel.
[20:24] Nagi
    Everyone...
[20:26] Nagi
    Yeah, I promise to get well
    so I can go to Babel.
[20:30] Nagi
    I want to watch my brother
    perform in person, too.
[20:35] Kite
    You bundle of bolts imitating people...
[20:38] Kite
    I told you to stay away from us.
[20:41] Nagi
    Kite! I had so much fun today!
[20:44] Kite
    A real performance at Babel
    isn't like that at all.
[20:48] Kite
    The instant we Climbers step on stage,
[20:52] Kite
    we devote our entire minds and souls
     to swaying the audience's hearts.
[20:56] Kite
    But you aren't capable of understanding that.

[21:02] Kite
    Androids have no hearts.
SIGN    Hearts?
[21:09] Kite

    Don't waste the talent you've been given.

    Big Brother, you shouldn't say things li—

[00:00] Androids
    Whoa!
SIGN    Ugh!
SIGN    This is so weird.
SIGN    No matter how many times we try, we still can't clear the third Stage.
[00:15] Chrom
    Even with our new Climb Name, KNoCC,
    we still aren't able to climb Babel.
[00:21] Kei
    Why is this happening?
[00:23] Kei
    Up to the second Stage,
    everything was such a breeze!
[00:26] Neon
    This just doesn't feel right.
[00:29] Esola
    Guys, are you okay—
[00:31] Esola
    Whoa! Kei, Neon, your heads are switched!
[00:36] Kei
    Oh, no wonder. That explains
    why I'm feeling so down.
[00:40] Neon
    You're the worst.
SIGN    After Esola went to all that trouble to fix us,
SIGN    we're starting to break down again.
[00:51] Esola
    It's because you move so much
    during dance practice.
[00:55] Esola
    It looks like your parts with bearings
    and seals are starting to wear out.
[00:59] Kei
    Can't you repair them?
[01:00] Esola
    They're disposable parts, so we'll
    just have to get new ones.
SIGN    You mean it's going to cost money?
[01:07] Esola
    Yeah. Stuff like that always costs money.
[01:11] Kei
    We've got no choice, then.
    We'll just spend the money.
SIGN    Yeah!
SIGN    Then let's retry the third Climb Stage with brand new parts!
[01:20] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[01:23] Eliza
    You do not have the money for that.
SIGN    Huh? Why not?
[01:27] Kei
    What happened to the reward
    from the second Stage?
[01:30] Kei
    We should have gotten 1 million Jents.
[01:33] Chrom
    We used it for the entry fee
    for the third Stage.
[01:36] Chrom
    Each attempt costs 100,000 Jents.
[01:40] Eliza
    You also still have a remaining
    balance due on your electricity bills.
[01:44] Eliza
    Your current account balance is zero.
[01:47] Chrom
    Adding in the replacement cost for
    the parts we wore out in dance practice,
[01:52] Chrom
    we're in the red.
SIGN    What?!
SIGN    But the whole reason we went to Babel was to pay our bills!
SIGN    There's no point, then!
[02:00] Kei
    No. If we clear the third Stage,
    the reward is 5 million.
[02:05] Kei
    We'd be out of the red with money to spare.
SIGN    I guess you're right.
SIGN    If we can just clear the third Stage, it'll solve everything.
[02:13] Neon
    Question.
[02:14] Neon
    So, how will we pay the entry fee
    for the third Stage?
[02:22] Chrom
    It's over, then.
SIGN    It's impossible! What are we gonna do?!
[02:28] Chrom
    Perhaps we should find work.
[02:30] Others
    Work?
SIGN    Job Search High Fly
[02:32] Chrom
    Let's register an account
    at a job search website
SIGN    Jobs Every Morning
[02:35] Chrom
    and find positions
    that are appropriate for us.
SIGN    Jobs Every Morning
SIGN    Whoa.
[02:40] Chrom
    Oh. Well, this is no good.
[02:43] Chrom
    I'm unable to create an account.
[02:45] Esola
    Huh? Why not?
SIGN    I am not a robot
[02:49] Esola
    Why don't you just check the box anyway?
[02:53] Chrom
    But that would be a false statement.
[02:55] Chrom
    Androids are a type of robot, after all.
SIGN    And we're prohibited from telling lies like that.
[03:03] Neon
    I got an email.
[03:04] Kei
    Email?
SIGN    Who's it from?
SIGN    Now Hiring!
SIGN    Androids are very welcome!
SIGN    I know you all like having fun!
     Why not come and do part-time work
     that lets you stand on stage at Denta Park?
SIGN    High pay! Check it out if you want fast cash!
    Open to both men and women!
    Job Type: Part-Time
    Work days: Weekdays & Holidays (Negotiable)

    It's straight from a job recruiter.

    "Androids are very welcome," it says.
SIGN    Technoroid
[04:47] Newscaster
    In response to what is being called the
    "blast furnace incident" of several days ago,
[04:51] Newscaster
    the Robot Exclusionist Faction
    is holding a virtual protest rally.
SIGN    What is the truth behind
    the blast furnace incident?
SIGN    Breaking
SIGN    Robot Exclusionist Faction Holds Anonymous Protest Rally
[04:56] Newscaster
    The rally, which allows
    anonymous participants,

[04:59] Newscaster
    is attracting those with concerns
    about the dangers of robots,

SIGN    Answer us, WG!
[05:02] Newscaster
    some of whom are pressuring
    the World Government to take action.

[05:06] Newscaster
    There are suspicions that the Ritz No. 9
    model robot involved was treated unfairly,
[05:11] Newscaster
    and that may have been
    the motive behind the murder.
[05:16] Newscaster
    The investigation is attracting
    broad attention.
SIGN    Disappear!
[05:20] Takara
    KNoCC?
[05:21] Bora
    Yes.
[05:22] Bora
    The Androids who witnessed
    the blast furnace incident.
[05:26] Bora
    Since then, they've been performing
    at Babel under the Climb Name KNoCC.
[05:30] Takara
    What about it?
[05:32] Takara
    I thought we cleared them of suspicion.
[05:35] Bora
    Their behavior exhibits puzzling traits
    that are different from normal Androids.
[05:40] Bora
    I believe they're operating
    with decision-making criteria
[05:44] Bora
    that exceed the owner's intentions.
[05:46] Takara
    They're custom models, unlike
    the mass-produced type, right?
[05:50] Takara
    It's no surprise if their algorithms
    are a little different.
[05:53] Bora
    However, their operating systems have
    safeguards that are unnaturally strict.
[05:59] Bora
    In my analysis, I uncovered a unique
    kernel that was named "Heart."
[06:04] Takara
    But you dredged through their memory
    and still found no evidence, right?
[06:08] Takara
    It's a waste of time. Look elsewhere.
[06:12] Bora
    Understood.
[06:14] Bora
    In accordance with
    the Second Law of Robotics,
[06:16] Bora
    I will end my investigation of KNoCC.
[06:20] Bora
    Now reviewing regulations stipulated
    in the Three Laws of Robotics.
SIGN    The Three Laws of Robotics
SIGN    First Law
SIGN    A robot may not injure a human being.
[06:24] Bora
    First Law. A robot may not
    injure a human being.
[06:29] Bora
    Second Law. A robot must obey
    the orders given it by human beings.
[06:35] Bora
    Third Law. A robot must
    protect its own existence.
[06:39] Bora
    Special Zeroth Law.
SIGN    The Three Laws of Robotics
SIGN    First Law
SIGN    A robot may not injure a human being.
[06:41] Bora
    The First Law, "a robot may not
    injure a human being,"
[06:46] Bora
    takes precedence over all other laws.
[06:49] Bora
    There is a possibility that
    KNoCC's behavioral principles
[06:52] Bora
    are exceeding robot limitations.
[06:55] Bora
    I cannot discount the possibility
    that it may result in injury to humans.
SIGN    The Three Laws of Robotics
SIGN    First Law
SIGN    A robot may not injure a human being.
[06:59] Bora
    I cannot overlook the threat to humans,
[07:02] Bora
    so that takes precedence
    over Captain Takara's orders.
[07:05] Bora
    In accordance with the Zeroth Law,
    I am reopening my investigation into KNoCC.
[07:12] Denta
    Hey, everyone!
[07:14] Denta
    Welcome to Denta Park!
[07:16] Denta
    We have tons of attractions!
    I'll show you around!
[07:21] Denta
    Come on, everyone!
[07:23] Esola
    This is Denta Park.
SIGN    Wow! I've seen the commercials!
[07:29] Chrom
    The email did say they were hiring
    for part-time positions here.
[07:33] Neon
    Yeah.
[07:34] Kei
    But what kind of work would we do
    at an amusement park?
[07:38] Nobel
    Welcome to Denta Park!
[07:42] Nobel
    You're here for the job, right?
[07:45] Esola
    Who are you?
[07:46] Nobel
    I'm a member of the attraction cast.
[07:49] Esola
    Wait... I feel like I've met you
    somewhere before.
[07:53] Nobel
    Did you all come to try out as performers?
[07:57] Nobel
    The Brave Figharn Show!
SIGN    Brave Figharn Show
[07:59] Esola
    Is this...?
[08:01] Nobel
    It's a live attraction starring
    Denta Park's own original heroes.
[08:05] Guest A
    Oh! Excuse me, may I shake your hand?
[08:08] Kei
    Huh? Sure.
[08:11] Guest B
    Um, me too!
[08:12] Guest B
    Me, too!
[08:13] Guest B
    Me, too!
[08:15] Neon
    He's famous.
[08:17] Chrom
    I see.
[08:18] Chrom
    Since KNoCC is such a popular
    Climber group in Babel,
[08:22] Chrom
    if we participate in the attraction here,
    it should naturally draw in many guests.
SIGN    Really? The job is gonna be a snap, then.
[08:30] Neon
    But it looks like Kei is
    the only popular one.
[08:34] Neon
    It's like we're invisible to them.
SIGN    Huh?! Why?!
[08:39] Chrom
    Could it be that Kei has been
    carrying KNoCC himself this whole time?
SIGN    Does that mean we were just backup dancers?
[08:49] Neon
    I always thought I was the center.
SIGN    Huh?
[08:55] Guest C
    It's so good to see you.
[08:55] guest
    Congrats on your return!
[08:56] Guest D
    You're performing again?!
[08:57] guest
    May I shake your hand?
[08:57] Guest C
    I've always been your biggest fan!
[09:04] Kei
    Excuse me.
[09:07] Kei
    Yo.
[09:10] Mother
    Look, Ryo. He says he'll shake your hand.
[09:14] Mother
    What a silly boy.
[09:17] Father
    Sorry about this! He's a little shy.
[09:20] Mother
    Would you mind shaking my hand instead?
[09:23] Father
    Huh?
[09:24] Kei
    Uh, sure.
[09:26] Mother
    I've always been a fan!
[09:29] Kei
    What was that all about?
[09:32] Kei
    I have no data about them in my memory.
[09:35] Kei
    I'm sure this was the first time we've met,
[09:37] Kei
    but they all acted like they knew who I was.
[09:39] Chrom
    KNoCC has only been active
    for a short while.
[09:42] Chrom
    Nonetheless, they were talking
    as if they've been fans for a long time.
[09:45] Nobel
    Well, that's because you look just like him.
[09:51] Kei
    Him?
SIGN    Brave Figharn Show
[09:54] Nobel
    Solo, the legendary star who
    performed here ten years ago.
[10:00] Nobel
    You're his spitting image.
[10:04] Esola
    He's right.
[10:05] Esola
    He looks just like Kei.
[10:09] Nobel
    It seems that everyone's
    mistaking you for Solo.
[10:13] Chrom
    They must have watched Solo
    perform here when they were children.
[10:17] Esola
    That's why it was all adults
    asking to shake his hand.
SIGN    Oh, good! Kei isn't the only one who's popular, after all.
[10:28] Kei
    I don't know anything about this person.
[10:31] Kei
    But I sense something special about him.
[10:36] Nobel
    Solo's performances were huge hits.
[10:40] Nobel
    They say that the hero show he acted in
[10:42] Nobel
    made every single child
    in the audience happy.
[10:46] Kei
    Every single child, you say?
[10:49] Nobel
    Yeah.
[10:50] Nobel
    Even kids who came in crying
    or in a bad mood.
[10:53] Nobel
    After they watched Solo perform,
    they'd be all smiles.
[11:00] Kei
    All right.
[11:02] Kei
    If that's the job, then leave it to me!
[11:04] Kei
    Just like Solo did, I'll give
    every last kid a great time!
[11:08] Esola
    Wh-What's wrong, Kei?
[11:11] Chrom
    Kei's parameters are assigned
    to prioritize children.
SIGN    So when he hears "children," he gets fired up!
[11:17] Neon
    Just like "family" for you, Cobalt.
[11:19] Esola
    I-Is that right?
[11:21] Nobel
    Mm-hmm. Warmed up and ready to go.
[11:24] Nobel
    All right then, here are the costumes.
SIGN    Do you mean we have to wear these?
[11:33] Nobel
    Of course!
[11:34] Neon
    Nope! No way! Unthinkable!
[11:37] Chrom
    If you don't, you won't earn any money.
[11:39] Neon
    No way, no way, no way!
    It totally goes against my aesthetics!
SIGN    But why?
SIGN    It's pretty cool, right?
SIGN    Technoroid

    Encountered 423 hours,
    32 minutes, and 17 seconds ago.
[12:29] Fake Neon
    Conducted questioning for what
    is known as the blast furnace incident.
[12:33] Bora
    Once again, I am questioning you about
    that blast furnace incident.
[12:38] Bora
    What was the situation when the manager fell?
SIGN    Heard a scream, identified a man falling.
SIGN    Afterwards, identified a Ritz No. 9 robot falling.
[12:50] Fake Kei
    Did not see anything other than that.
[12:53] Fake Chrom
    No further information beyond
    what was discussed previously.
[12:56] Fake Neon
    Do not possess any additional knowledge.
[12:59] Bora
    Replay the recording of the questioning.
[13:02] Cobalt
    Then all of a sudden,
    I heard this voice go, "Aah!"
[13:05] Cobalt
    And then something fell from above
    and whizzed right past me.
[13:10] Kei
    I didn't see anything else.
[13:12] Chrom
    It's just as I've told you many times.
[13:15] Neon
    I don't know.
[13:17] Bora
    Even with the same program
    and the same memories,
[13:21] Bora
    I am observing a large
    discrepancy in your reactions.
[13:24] Bora
    Let's continue the test.
[13:26] Bora
    How would you all assess
    the incident at hand?
SIGN    The incident should never have happened.
[13:32] Fake Chrom
    Measures must be taken
    to prevent a reoccurrence.
[13:36] Bora
    That is not right.
[13:38] Bora
    You should be engaging in much
    more human-like behavior.
[13:42] Bora
    Resist me.
SIGN    Understood. Please stop.

    Please stop. I strongly request it.

[13:54] Fake Kei
    Please stop. I fiercely, strongly request it.

    Even...
[14:00] Bora
    stronger!
[14:02] Kei
    How dare you! You won't get away with this!
[14:05] Kei
    Where are you, Demon King Jeykaiser?!
[14:09] Chrom
    That's as far as you go, Brave Figharn.
[14:12] Chrom
    I'm impressed you made it this far, Figharn.
[14:16] Chrom
    I must commend you for that.
[14:18] Chrom
    However, your journey ends here.
[14:21] Neon
    He's right, you know.
[14:24] Neon
    This place will be your grave, Figharn.

    Explode! Explode! Kaboom! Real big!
SIGN    Wait, you mean for real?
[15:50] Kei
    If you don't, then that kid
    won't cheer for me!
SIGN    I don't wanna! If I blow up, I'll fall apart!
[15:59] Kei
    We're gonna give that kid a good time!
[16:01] Kei
    Just deal with it!
SIGN    But there's no way!
[16:05] Kei
    Once we get paid,
    we'll clear the third Stage,

    and I'll use the reward money to fix you!
SIGN    I can't perform for the third Stage!
[16:14] Chrom

    Yeah!

    Let's see. Perhaps I should

SIGN    Huh?
[17:35] Chrom
    Demon King Jeykaiser won't be
    stopped by the likes of you!

[18:09] Neon
    You better not think you've won!
[18:12] Chrom
    We will meet again. Farewell for now!
[18:15] Esola
    S-See you!
[18:18] Nobel
    Oh, my! Demon King Jeykaiser
    and his ghouls have run away!
[18:23] Kei
    Yes! Everyone, justice has prevailed!
[18:26] kids
    Yay!
[18:34] Chrom
    It seems things turned out all right.
[18:36] Esola
    Yeah. We really messed up
    the script, though.
SIGN    Still... this is actually kind of fun, y'know?
SIGN    All of today's shows have ended.
[18:51] Mother
    Wasn't that nice, Ryo?
[18:52] Ryosuke
    Yeah. That was fun!
[18:55] Father
    Let's come see it again.
[18:56] Ryosuke
    Yeah! You promise?
SIGN    The kids sure had a blast!
[19:01] Neon
    So many smiling faces.
[19:03] Chrom
    It was a rather difficult job,
    but I believe our work paid off.
[19:08] Esola
    I think we showed the kids a great time.
[19:11] Esola
    I had a lot of fun, too!
[19:14] Kei
    Fun...
[19:17] Kei
    Oh, okay.
[19:19] Kei
    So this is fun, huh?
[19:33] Bora
    I can't understand it.

    No matter how much I analyze,
    I can't locate any abnormalities.
[19:38] Bora
    If it's the same program,
    I should get the same results.
[19:43] Bora
    So why don't they show
    the same behavior as KNoCC?
[19:51] Bora
    What is this?
[19:53] Bora
    It's trying to access a massive memory area.
[19:57] Bora
    Simulate memory space.
[20:03] Bora
    It's an empty memory area
    with nothing recorded in it.
[20:06] Bora
    An endless expanse of nothing.
[20:10] Bora
    An infinite zero.
[20:12] Bora
    Almost like outer space.
[20:17] Bora
    Is KNoCC trying again?
[21:54] Denta
    Congratulations, KNoCC!
[21:57] Denta
    You have cleared the third Climb Stage!
[21:59] Denta
    Next time, you go up another level!
[22:00] Kei
    Thanks, everyone!
[22:04] Ryosuke
    Awesome!
[22:09] Nobel
    It seems this experience
    meant something, too.
[22:13] Nobel
    I'm looking forward to the next step.

[00:26] Esola
    Chrom!
[00:27] Esola
    Thanks for waiting!
[00:28] Chrom
    Esola. Is it that time already?
[00:32] Esola
    Did you check out more books?
[00:33] Chrom
    Yes.
[00:35] Chrom
    Thanks to the library card you made for me,
    I'm able to borrow some very valuable books.
[00:41] Esola
    You did say there are a lot of books
    that aren't available digitally.
[00:46] Esola
    Huh?
[00:47] Chrom
    Hmm?
[00:48] Esola
    Isn't that Nora? The cat
    that comes by the house?
SIGN    Mineral Ores
[00:53] Esola
    I feel like Nora always
    sits next to you, Chrom.
[00:56] Chrom
    Huh?
[01:00] Chrom
    Do you think so?
SIGN    Technoroid
[02:44] Esola
    Nora's sitting with you again, Chrom.
[02:48] Chrom
    When did you get there?
SIGN    Nora!
SIGN    Eat up, okay?
SIGN    Huh? Nora, it's food. Aren't you gonna eat?
[02:57] Chrom
    Cobalt.
[02:59] Chrom
    That is too much.
[03:01] Chrom
    Nora's estimated age is over ten years old.
[03:04] Chrom
    He weighs 6.5 kilograms.
[03:06] Chrom
    Calculating from necessary calories,
    he should only require
[03:09] Chrom
    120 grams of food per day.
SIGN    Is that right?
[03:13] Chrom
    Also, cats don't like loud noises.
[03:16] Chrom
    If you yell at him like that,
    he will of course run away.
[03:19] Esola
    Chrom, you sure know a lot about cats, too.
[03:23] Chrom
    After Nora started visiting the house
    regularly, I did some research.
[03:31] Neon
    He went back to Chrom.
SIGN    Why?!
[03:34] Neon
    Do you smell good to him?
[03:36] Chrom
    I am odorless.
[03:38] Kei
    Maybe you emit electromagnetic
    waves that that furball likes.
[03:41] Chrom
    I do not.
SIGN    I know! You've been sneaking him food!
[03:46] Chrom
    I have not.
[03:47] Chrom
    In fact, we have no solid evidence
    that Nora prefers me to begin with.
[03:52] Kei
    But he's still there now.
SIGN    So you don't know why Nora sticks to you, either?
SIGN    Your parameters are set to "knowledge,"
SIGN    but I guess you still don't know everything.
[04:04] Esola
    C-Cobalt...
[04:09] Chrom
    Esola, would you send me
    an operation request?
[04:14] Esola
    Huh?

SIGN    Verify the Reason Nora Stays at Chrom's Side
SIGN    Esola Shibaura
[04:16] Esola
    Is this okay?
[04:18] Chrom
    Thank you very much.
SIGN    That looks fun! I'll help out!
[04:22] Kei
    Maybe it'll help us figure out
    how to get along with furballs.
[04:26] Neon
    But how are you going to verify that?
[04:29] Chrom
    First, I need to observe
    Nora's behavioral patterns.
[04:34] Chrom
    I'll find out where he goes and measure
    how much time he spends there.
[04:39] Chrom
    Then, I'll calculate how much of that time
    he spends with me and input that data.
[04:44] Kei
    So that's how that rascal was getting in.
[04:48] Chrom
    Let's pursue him.
[04:49] Kei
    Yeah.
SIGN    I'm coming, too.
[04:51] Neon
    Kei, you and I have to go to work soon!
[04:54] Kei
    It's only part-time. I can go whenever.
[04:57] Chrom
    I'll ask you two to help another day.
[05:00] Esola
    Have fun at work, okay?
[05:01] Kei
    Huh?! Hey!
SIGN    Be back later!
[05:06] Chrom
    There he is. Up there.
[05:09] Esola
    I was wondering, Nora doesn't
    really belong to our house, does he?
[05:13] Chrom
    Correct. Nora is a neighborhood cat.
SIGN    What's a neighborhood cat?
[05:18] Esola
    It means he doesn't belong to one person,
[05:20] Esola
    and everyone in the neighborhood
    helps take care of him.
[05:24] Chrom
    I read an essay saying that the territory
    a cat lives in is smaller than most imagine.
SIGN    Tora's Bowl
[05:29] Chrom
    Some studies have also shown
    that even with multiple homes,
[05:32] Chrom
    the territory is limited
    to a radius of 100 meters.
[05:36] Esola
    Ah!
SIGN    He ran off!
[05:40] Chrom
    It would be difficult
    to continue tracking him now.
[05:44] Esola
    It's getting late. Let's try again tomorrow.
[05:46] Chrom
    Sure!
SIGN    Yes.
[05:53] Neon
    How big of an area is Nora active in?
[05:55] Chrom
    I can't say for sure yet,
[05:57] Chrom
    but if I align yesterday's data
    with today's route,
[06:01] Chrom
    it seems to be larger than the norm.
[06:03] Kei
    It's gotta be tough to narrow all that down.
[06:06] Chrom
    That's exactly why I need to watch
    as closely as I can and keep collecting data.
[06:13] Chrom
    Oh!
[06:19] Chrom
    We're finally back home.
[06:20] Kei
    Wha—
[06:29] Kei
    Oh, man. You stick to Chrom
    like glue, don't you?
[06:33] Neon
    He sure likes you.
[06:35] Chrom
    The more I investigate,
    the more confused I become.
[06:40] Chrom
    This verification process
    will take some time.
[07:04] kid
    Wait up!
[07:04] Takara
    You heard reports of suspicious
    individuals around here?
[07:07] Bora
    Since the descriptions resemble
    the members of KNoCC,
[07:10] Bora
    I thought we should investigate,
    as we handled the last case.
[07:13] Takara
    Why don't you just ignore it?
[07:16] Takara
    Guess there's no point telling you that.
[07:18] Kid A
    Is this little guy all alone?
[07:20] Kid B
    The poor thing.
[07:22] Kid A
    I wonder if it's hungry.
[07:22] Bora
    What could that be about?
[07:23] Takara
    Ah... I'll leave it in your capable hands.
[07:27] Takara
    Oh, the operation request.
[07:29] Bora
    That won't be necessary.
[07:30] Bora
    Assisting citizens is within
    the scope of my basic abilities.
[07:35] Takara
    Oh, good. Okay, I got stuff to do.
[07:40] Kid B
    There we go. What a good boy.
[07:43] Bora
    I am Special Investigations Android of
    the Metropolitan Police Detective Unit,
[07:48] Bora
    PD-0321 WG, Lieutenant Bora.
[07:52] Bora
    Are you in some kind of trouble?
[07:54] Kid B
    A police officer?
[07:56] Kid B
    I think somebody left this puppy.
[08:01] Bora
    A puppy. No IC chip or name tag.
[08:05] Bora
    Illegal abandonment.
[08:07] Kid A
    Since you're a police officer,
    you can find the owner, right?
[08:11] Bora
    I cannot.
[08:13] Bora
    As lost property, I must take it
    to the nearest police station
[08:16] Bora
    so it can be placed in a shelter.
[08:19] Kid A
    What's going to happen after that?
[08:21] Bora
    If the owner is not located
    within a specified amount of time,
[08:25] Bora
    it will be euthanized.
[08:28] Kid B
    Youth-anized?
[08:29] Bora
    Yes.
[08:30] Kid C
    Hey, guys!
[08:32] Kid C
    Mom says we can keep it!
[08:35] Kid A
    Really?!
[08:36] Kid B
    Yay!
[08:38] Kid A
    Bye, Mr. Policeman!
[08:44] Bora
    What are you all doing?
[08:45] Esola
    Huh?
SIGN    Oh! The police guy from before.
[08:49] Bora
    So you were the suspicious individuals,
    just as the report stated.
[08:53] Esola
    Su-Suspicious?!
[08:55] Esola
    Not at all! We were just—
SIGN    We're just following Nora.
[08:59] Bora
    Nora?
[09:00] Chrom
    That cat.
[09:04] Bora
    A stray cat. No, a neighborhood cat?
[09:08] Bora
    Why are you following a cat?
[09:10] Esola
    Um, there's something we wanted to verify.
[09:14] Bora
    Verify? About what?
[09:16] Esola
    It would take a while to explain...
[09:18] Chrom
    Nora?
[09:28] Esola
    Nora?!
SIGN    Huh? What happened?
[09:31] Chrom
    I don't know.
[09:33] Esola
    It looks like he's in pain.
[09:34] Esola
    Chrom, search for
    the nearest animal hospital.
[09:39] Esola
    Chrom, hurry!
[09:41] Bora
    There is an animal hospital
    845 meters north of here.
[09:46] Bora
    I'll show you the way.
[09:47] Esola
    Please do.
[09:50] Esola
    Let's go!
SIGN    Yeah!
SIGN    Technoroid
SIGN    I wonder what's wrong with Nora.
SIGN    Maybe he ran out of energy.
[10:09] Bora
    Cats do not replenish energy
    the same way we Androids do.
SIGN    It's the same as Esola, right?
SIGN    I knew that.
SIGN    They eat food, and it turns into energy.
SIGN    Chrom said it was too much, but I bet he needed more food, after all.
[10:25] Vet
    It's acute kidney failure.
[10:27] Esola
    Acute kidney failure?
[10:29] Vet
    An illness that occurs when
    the kidneys' filtering function declines.
[10:33] Vet
    He was likely showing symptoms
    of dehydration and loss of appetite.
[10:37] Vet
    Did you happen to notice anything?
[10:39] Chrom
    In fact, in the few days
    that we were following Nora,
[10:43] Chrom
    we did not see him
    consume any food or water.
[10:47] Vet
    I did some tests, and it seems
    this fellow is about 16 years old.
[10:51] Vet
    That's fairly old for a cat.
[10:54] Vet
    In human terms, it's around 80 years old.
[10:57] Esola
    That old? Um, so what'll happen to Nora?
[11:02] Vet
    I'm very sorry to say this, but I think
    you should prepare yourselves for the worst.
[11:08] Esola
    Prepare...?
[11:10] Chrom
    In other words, do you mean Nora will die?
[11:14] Vet
    It's very likely, at this point.
[11:17] Vet
    I'll do everything I can,
[11:20] Vet
    but the next week or two will be critical.
[11:24] Esola
    Oh, no...
[11:26] Vet
    Normally I'd recommend hospitalization,
[11:29] Vet
    but some people prefer to care
     for their pets at home.
[11:32] Vet
    What shall we do with Nora?
[11:35] Chrom
    Let's hospitalize him.
[11:37] Esola
    Chrom?
[11:38] Chrom
    A hospital with the necessary facilities
    would be best for Nora's treatment.
[11:44] Esola
    Sure.
[11:47] Neon
    Nora's in the hospital?
[11:49] Kei
    When is that furball gonna get better?
[11:52] Chrom
    We don't know. However...
[11:56] Chrom
    If he doesn't recover, he will die.
[11:58] Neon
    Die?
[12:00] Chrom
    He will stop moving.
SIGN    You mean a forced shutdown?
[12:04] Chrom
    No.
[12:05] Chrom
    We Androids can move again
    once we reboot, but Nora cannot.
[12:11] Esola
    Once animals and people die,
[12:14] Esola
    they never... ever, move again.
[12:18] Neon
    Never?
[12:21] Chrom
    However, the doctor merely stated
    it is "likely" that he will die.
[12:25] Chrom
    She did not say it was definitive.
[12:28] Esola
    Huh?
[12:29] Chrom
    In short, there is still
    a chance that he will recover.
SIGN    Is that right?
[12:34] Chrom
    Esola, please go home with the others.
[12:37] Esola
    What about you?
[12:38] Chrom
    I will go to the library
    to research Nora's illness.
[12:42] Esola
    But they're gonna close soon.
[12:45] Chrom
    Yes, so I will require
     all the time I can get.
[12:48] Esola
    Um, no operation request?
[12:51] Neon
    He's gone.
[12:53] Bora
    Why didn't you stop him?
[12:55] Bora
    The possibility of the cat dying
    is not zero. It is quite high.
[12:59] Bora
    I must conclude there is no meaning
    behind that Android's actions.
[13:09] Esola
    Chrom. Welcome home.
[13:12] Chrom
    I just got back.
[13:13] Esola
    You were sure out late.
[13:14] Chrom
    Yes. When the library closed,
    I went to bookstores in town, too.
[13:18] Chrom
    It took quite some time.
[13:20] Chrom
    Now, I will continue my research.
[13:23] Esola
    Okay. Don't push yourself too hard.
[13:26] Chrom
    Right. I will recharge frequently.
SIGN    Illness in Dogs and Cats
SIGN    Hey, Eliza?
SIGN    Will you sub me in for Chrom at work tomorrow?
[14:05] Eliza
    Very well. I will change tomorrow's schedule
[14:08] Eliza
    and replace Chrom with Cobalt.
SIGN    This way, Chrom can study up some more on Nora's sickness.
[14:15] Neon
    Chrom did say he wanted to
    visit a library that was far away.
[14:18] Kei
    Are you two checking on Nora
    tomorrow? Thanks, guys.
[14:23] Esola
    Sure.
SIGN    I sure hope Nora gets better soon.
[14:29] Esola
    Neon?
[14:31] Neon
    Isn't Chrom going to visit Nora, too?

    Maybe here...

SIGN    Cats Have Nine Lives
SIGN    Because cats seem to be more lively and willful than
     other animals, superstitions have developed about how
    "cats have nine lives" or "cats are born nine times."
    These sayings are used to mean that cats don't die easily
     or that if they do die, they will keep coming back to life.

[15:40] Chrom
    What's this?

    It's a slightly older volume that
    was written by an animal scholar.

    Bathing in sunlight that shines through fur.
    Eyes that sparkle gently in the dim light, as if containing tiny universes.
    Small shoulders rising and falling. A warm back.
    To the holder of this book who loves their family so dearly.
    
    I do not know exactly what made you pick up this book. If it feels like you're
    grasping at straws, I can only imagine you are facing a difficult truth.
     You probably feel anger as well, while knowing it will resolve nothing.
    However, you probably do understand that this is between you and your family.

    Let's bring Nora home.
[17:08] Chrom
    Isn't that heavy, Esola?
[17:10] Esola
    I'm fine.
[17:11] Esola
    But I'm worried about Nora, so let's go
    to a main street and catch a taxi home.
[17:17] Bora
    You two there.
[17:18] Esola
    Officer Bora? Good evening.
[17:21] Bora
    Are you taking that cat home?
[17:23] Chrom
    Yes. I realized it's for the best.
[17:26] Bora
    The best?
[17:29] Esola
    Instead of a hospital, we decided
    to care for him at home.
[17:32] Esola
    We all want to help Nora get better.
[17:35] Bora
    Incomprehensible.
[17:36] Esola
    Huh?
[17:37] Bora
    Why are you so concerned for that cat?
[17:40] Bora
    It's merely a neighborhood cat.
[17:43] Esola
    Well...
[17:44] Bora
    Additionally, the veterinarian
     already told you
[17:48] Bora
    there is only a small chance
    the cat will survive.
[17:50] Bora
    Do you really think there's
    something you can do?
[17:53] Esola
    Officer Bora!
[17:54] Bora
    Or was your verification successful?
[17:59] Bora
    Did you really discover
    a way to save the cat?
[18:02] Chrom
    No, I didn't!
[18:05] Chrom
    I haven't found a way!
[18:08] Chrom
    I searched and searched to find the correct
    course of action, anything I could do,
[18:15] Chrom
    and I found nothing!
[18:20] Esola
    Chrom...
[18:22] Chrom
    But even then,
[18:24] Chrom
    even then, I...
[18:34] Esola
    Hold that part.
SIGN    What about this?
[18:36] Kei
    All right.
[18:37] Esola
    Yeah.
[18:38] Kei
    Cobalt, is it plugged in?
SIGN    All set!
[18:45] Chrom
    Starting today, we'll look
    after Nora at home.
[18:48] Esola
    Chrom and I will watch him, so you guys
    go ahead and recharge, okay?
[18:53] Kei
    Sure.
SIGN    Once we're charged, we'll take over.
[18:57] Neon
    Nora's probably relieved to be here, too.
[19:01] Chrom
    Do you think so?
[19:02] Neon
    Yeah, because you're here with him, Chrom.
[19:07] Chrom
    Do you... think so?
[19:19] Chrom
    Esola, have you heard the saying
    that cats have nine lives?
[19:24] Esola
    No.
[19:26] Chrom
    Cats have many lives and
    can be reborn over and over.
[19:31] Chrom
    That makes them very tenacious,
    so they don't die easily.
[19:34] Chrom
    That's what the saying means.
[19:38] Chrom
    In all my research, that's
    about the only thing I learned.
[19:43] Esola
    Chrom...
[19:47] Chrom
    I was not able to find
    an infallible way to save Nora.
[19:52] Esola
    But you did try to learn more about him.
[19:56] Esola
    Isn't that why Nora's home with us now?
[19:59] Chrom
    I don't know if that's something
    Nora would want or not.
[20:06] Chrom
    I really don't know
[20:08] Chrom
    what's right, or what I can do.
[20:13] Chrom
    I don't know
[20:16] Chrom
    what this feeling is, swelling up inside me.
[20:23] Esola
    You must be sad, Chrom.
[20:27] Esola
    You kept researching Nora's illness,
[20:30] Esola
    so much that you didn't
    visit him in the hospital,
[20:32] Esola
    because the thought of Nora
    going away made you sad.
[20:38] Chrom
    Sad...
[20:43] Chrom
    I see.
[20:45] Chrom
    If I accept that,
[20:48] Chrom
    then I'd have to come
    to terms with Nora leaving.
[21:03] Chrom
    This whole time, I didn't understand
    what it meant to feel sad.
SIGN    Sadness...
[21:15] Chrom
    This is all I can do for you.
[21:26] Chrom
    I'll stay with you until the end, Nora.
SIGN    All that's left for us to do is to watch over them.
[21:56] Bora
    Is that right? The cat from before?
[21:59] Esola
    Yes.
[22:00] Esola
    Since you helped us find a hospital,
    I thought I should let you know.
[22:06] Bora
    Understood.
[22:08] Kid C
    Here, boy!
[22:09] Kid A
    Wait up!
[22:10] Kid B
    You're too fast!
[22:11] Kid C
    Mocha! Here, boy!
SIGN    Neon, Kei, come look at this!
[22:23] Neon
    I'm too sleepy.
[22:23] Kei
    Later.
SIGN    Aww, don't be that way!
[22:24] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[22:27] Chrom
    I know you will be reborn many times.
[22:34] Chrom
    The verification process isn't complete,
    so please come back soon.
[22:52] Kite
    Doctor, are organ transplants
    really the only way to save Nagi?
[22:59] Doctor
    Yes.
[23:00] Doctor
    As I explained, if we don't
    use artificial organs,
[23:05] Doctor
    we have to wait until
    we find compatible donors.
[23:12] Kite
    Damn it.
[23:16] Kiriya
    Please accept my deepest sympathies.
[23:21] Kiriya
    With our help, I'm sure we can
    find suitable donors for Miss Nagi.
[23:28] Kite
    What the hell are you talking about?
[23:30] Kiriya
    Our organization has connections
    with many different people.
[23:35] Kiriya
    If we put that power to use,
[23:38] Kiriya
    Miss Nagi will be able to have
     her surgery very soon.

SIGN    Scrub-a-dub-dub!
[00:16] Esola
    Wow, the graffiti's gone already.
SIGN    A new record time!
[00:21] Chrom
    This is the twelfth instance
    of graffiti we've removed.
[00:24] Chrom
    With the right amount of time
    for the spray to work,
[00:27] Chrom
    and the exact amount of
    pressure on the brushes,
[00:29] Chrom
    we've perfectly mastered the technique.

    But this isn't all we can do.
[00:33] Kei
    I know we can clean them faster.
SIGN    Yeah! Let's race next time!
[00:39] Staff
    They're sure at it.
SIGN    There's no way I'll lose!
[00:41] Esola
    I apologize for all the noise.
[00:43] Staff
    Nah, it's fine. In fact, I'm glad they
     enjoy doing the work this early.
[00:48] Staff
    This is outside of the safe zone,
[00:50] Staff
    so it gets much too hot
    to work later in the day.
[00:53] Staff
    By the way, I heard you were
    a student here at the university.
[00:58] Esola
    Yes. I have class soon.
[01:00] Staff
    It's amazing that you got
    into college so young!
[01:04] Staff
    I wish the jerks vandalizing things
    would learn from your example.
SIGN    Quit building robots!
[01:09] Staff
    Ever since the blast furnace incident,
    graffiti's been popping up all over the city.
SIGN    Take back our human dignity!
[01:14] Staff
    Everyone's making a fuss about
    how dangerous robots are now.
[01:17] Staff
    It's pretty bad here at the university, too.
SIGN    Quit building robots!
    Take back our human dignity!
[01:21] Neon
    Why would anyone write this?
[01:24] Chrom
    It's quite inflammatory.
[01:25] Kei
    Yeah. When I see it, it kind of...
[01:28] Neon
    ...stings.
SIGN    Exactly!
SIGN    But it disappears when we do this, so it's no problem!
SIGN    Quit building robots!
    Take back our human dignity!

[03:20] Esola
    My class is about to start, so I'd better go.
[03:28] Esola
    Neon?
[03:30] Neon
    Esola...
[03:34] Esola
    Huh? Who's that?
[03:36] Esola
    They're painting something.
[03:37] Esola
    Is that the vandal?
[03:40] Neon
    No. That painting...
[03:51] Esola
    Neon?
[04:11] Neon
    It's gone.
[04:12] Esola
    I guess it was a 3D projection.
[04:14] Nobel
    Would you keep it down?
[04:18] Nobel
    Quit making such a ruckus, would ya?
[04:20] Neon
    Huh?
[04:23] Neon
    Who are you?
[04:25] Esola
    What are you doing there?
[04:28] Nobel
    I can lie down wherever the heck I want.
[04:32] Nobel
    And I'm free to exhibit my work
    wherever I want, too.
[04:36] Esola
    Your work? You mean that 3D projection?
[04:40] Neon
    But who is this?
[04:43] Nobel
    Glad you asked.
[04:45] Nobel
    I've come to raise hell for all
    the spoiled tryhards here at Geek U.
[04:50] Nobel
    I'm the local art student!
[04:52] Neon & Esola
    Huh?
[04:53] Nobel
    The STEM brats here can
    only think in numbers,
[04:57] Nobel
    and I'm going to scramble
    their brains with my art!
[05:00] Esola
    B-But why outside like this?
[05:03] Nobel
    You're such a conservative thinker!
    A canvas has no borders.
[05:07] Nobel
    Oh, wait! This was a campus, wasn't it?
[05:10] Nobel
    I just linked campus and canvas!
    Am I a genius or what?
[05:14] Esola & Neon
    Uhh...
[05:15] Nobel
    Follow your heart and express
    yourself. That's what art is!
[05:21] Neon
    Art?
[05:22] Nobel
    Yeah.
[05:24] Nobel
    Something that puts your beliefs and
    ideals into a message and expresses them.
[05:28] Nobel
    Like the way this 3D projection expresses
    my message of profound respect.
[05:34] Nobel
    Watch this!
[05:39] Neon
    The same painting.
[05:41] Nobel
    The person who painted this changed
    the way I see life. A legendary artist!
[05:47] Nobel
    They were extremely talented
    but shrouded in mystery,
[05:51] Nobel
    and nobody knew their age or gender.
[05:54] Esola
    Knew?
[05:56] Nobel
    About ten years ago,
    they suddenly disappeared.
[06:00] Nobel
    It was fitting for someone
    who lived so freely,
[06:03] Nobel
    but the art they left behind
    contained many diverse messages.
[06:09] Nobel
    Art that can stir the hearts
     of whoever sees it.
[06:15] Nobel
    Messages like that can transform
    the people who receive them.
[06:20] Neon
    Messages...
[06:22] Nobel
    So, what do you feel?
    What message do you want to share?
[06:35] Esola
    Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
SIGN    Oh, Esola.
[06:38] Kei
    Is class over?
[06:39] Esola
    Yeah. I think I'll call it a day
    and head home.
[06:44] Esola
    Huh? Where's Neon?
[06:45] Chrom
    He should be over there
    washing off graffiti.
[06:49] Esola
    By himself?
[06:52] Esola
    Neon!
[06:53] Esola
    How are you do—
[06:54] Esola
    Uh...
[06:56] Esola
    Huh?!
[06:58] Esola
    N-Neon? What is this?
[07:05] Esola
    Where did you get all the paint?
[07:08] Neon
    From that art student before.
[07:10] Esola
    Huh? Still, why are you painting on a wall?
[07:14] Esola
    Wait. I didn't give you
    an operation request.
[07:18] Neon
    Right.
[07:20] Neon
    But that guy said if you put
    messages into your art,
[07:22] Neon
    you can change people's hearts.
[07:27] Neon
    I thought if the vandals saw this painting,
    it might change their hearts, too.
[07:33] Neon
    It's hard to put into words.
[07:36] Esola
    Neon...
[07:37] Staff
    What the heck are you doing?
[07:39] Staff
    What's this painting doing here?
[07:41] Staff
    Did you guys paint it?
[07:43] Staff
    I asked you to wash off
    the graffiti, not add to it!
[07:48] Neon
    This isn't graffiti! It's art.
[07:51] Neon
    I erased the graffiti by painting over it.
[07:53] Staff
    What kind of excuse is that?
    This is graffiti!
[07:56] Neon
    It's art!
[07:57] Girl student A
    Wow, look at that!
[07:59] Girl student B
    I'll post a pic.
[08:01] Girl student A
    Me, too.
[08:02] Girl student C
    Whoa, sick!
[08:03] Boy student A
    I don't remember stuff like that being here.
[08:06] Girl student D
    Wait, aren't you Neon from KNoCC?
[08:10] Neon
    Yeah, I am.
[08:11] Girl student D
    I knew it!
[08:12] Boy student B
    KNoCC? Isn't that a Climber group at Babel?
[08:15] Girl student D
    Yeah. They're on the fourth Stage!
[08:17] Girl student D
    It's insane they've made it that far.
[08:20] Girl student A
    What, you mean he's famous?
[08:22] Girl student B
    KNoCC? The real thing?
[08:32] Staff
    Ugh. I'll ask the university president
    if the painting can stay up.
[08:37] Esola
    Thank you very much!
[08:40] Staff
    Still, I never knew we had
    such a famous student here.
[08:45] Staff
    He's even doing all this work for us.
    We're lucky to have him!
[08:48] Esola
    Actually, Neon isn't a student—
[08:51] Staff
    Usually, robots handle the physical labor,
[08:55] Staff
    but you can't really trust 'em these days.
[08:58] Esola
    Huh?
[09:00] Esola
    You can't use robots?
[09:03] Staff
    Well, we could,
[09:05] Staff
    but honestly, I understand
     how the vandals feel.
[09:08] Staff
    I get scared hearing about
    the blast furnace incident.
[09:11] Staff
    Never know when they might go berserk.
[09:15] Staff
    I'm really glad we found
    such a great student, though!
[09:20] Esola
    Oh... Yeah.
[09:32] Kei
    It's totally going viral.

    Yet another reflection of

SIGN    Hey, is that a smile, Neon?
[09:45] Neon
    I'm not smiling.
SIGN    What? You're totally smiling!
SIGN    He's smiling, right? Right?!
[09:51] Neon
    You're so dumb.
SIGN    Ah! You called me dumb again!
[09:55] Neon
    Super dumb!
SIGN    That's twice!
[09:57] Eliza

[10:54] Neon
    Okay, I know, I know.

    Guys, I just got an email from work.
[11:01] Esola
    They want you to take today off.
[11:03] Neon
    Huh? Why?
[11:05] Esola
    Um, well, it's something at the university.
[11:10] Neon
    A day off...
SIGN    Esola, you're being weird.
[11:16] Esola
    Huh?
SIGN    You aren't acting normal.
[11:19] Esola
    Y-You're imagining things!
[11:21] Esola
    Anyway, I've got class.

    Want us to take you?
[11:25] Esola
    That's okay! I'll take the water bus today.
SIGN    TRASH!
[11:38] Esola
    Oh, no. The painting's washing off, too.
[11:42] Esola
    I can't let the others see this.
[11:46] Esola
    Especially Neon.
[11:48] Kenji
    Mind your own damn business.
[11:52] Kenji
    Your friend painted this, right?
[11:56] Kenji
    That Neon guy from KNoCC?
[11:57] Esola
    Um...
[11:59] Kenji
    Tell him I said this:
[12:01] Kenji
    You'd better not paint
    trash like that again.
[12:05] Esola
    Trash?
[12:06] Kenji
    Robots are trash, meaning
    their paintings are, too.
[12:11] Esola
    So all this vandalism...
[12:13] Esola
    How can you say something so awful?
[12:16] Kenji
    Hmph.
[12:17] Esola
    Please, wait a minute!

    What a pain in the ass!
[12:36] Esola
    Ouch.
SIGN    You okay? Can you stand?
[12:41] Esola
    Why are you all here?
[12:43] Chrom
    Neon insisted on finishing his painting.
[12:47] Neon
    Are you hurt?
[12:49] Esola
    No.
SIGN    They wrote something hurtful again!
SIGN    Robots are TRASH!

    but the painting was coming off with it.
[13:05] Kei

[13:08] Esola
    I'm sorry I lied.

    No, I mean the stinging here
    isn't going away.
[13:42] Esola
    Neon...
[13:44] Neon
    Why would somebody write this?
[13:47] Neon
    Maybe my message was too weak.
SIGN    Robots are TRASH!

[13:51] Esola

    Esola.
[13:57] Esola
    Huh? Me?
[14:00] Neon
    Yeah.
[14:02] Neon
    I wanted it to be like you.
[14:04] Neon
    You never cared that we're Androids, Esola.
[14:08] Neon
    You repaired us, wrote new songs for us,
    and did all sorts of things like that.
[14:16] Neon
    But even when you do
    nothing, even if you lie,
[14:20] Neon
    we can always tell
    that you're thinking of us.
[14:24] Neon
    You warm us up just by hanging
    around and laughing with us.
[14:29] Neon
    So this thing you share with us,
[14:34] Neon
    I wanted everyone else
    to be able to feel it, too.
[14:37] Neon
    But I don't really know
    how to pass that along.
[14:42] Neon
    From the start, even though
    we're Androids, you were—
[14:46] Esola
    You've got it backwards, Neon.
[14:48] Neon
    Huh?
[14:49] Esola
    When I was all alone after my dad died,
    you were the ones who reached out to me.
[14:56] Esola
    That day, under the footbridge,
    you all found me.
[15:02] Esola
    You sang that song and then stayed with me.
[15:07] Esola
    That's why I'm always smiling these days.
[15:11] Esola
    So I wanted you all
    to keep smiling along with me.
[15:18] Esola
    It doesn't matter if you're
     Androids or humans.
[15:20] Esola
    I just really like you guys!
[15:26] Kenji
    Androids?!
[15:29] Neon
    "Like"?
[15:30] Esola
    Yeah.

    Is that the thing you share with us?
[15:35] Esola
    Yeah, it is.

SIGN    I like you, too!
[15:58] Neon
    It's gone.
[15:59] Esola
    Huh?
[16:01] Neon
    It doesn't sting anymore.
[16:06] Neon

[18:48] Neon
    Then I'll just paint it again.
[18:50] Neon
    Until you stop thinking I'm trash,
    I'll paint it over and over again.
[18:55] Neon
    Because I want you to like us, too.
[19:02] Kenji
    Are y-you stupid?!
[19:58] Neon
    It's done!
[20:00] Neon
    This is
[20:04] Neon
    how "liking" someone feels to me!
[21:39] Denta
    KNoCC has cleared the fourth Climb Stage!
[21:43] Denta
    Next is the final level,
    the fifth Climb Stage!
SIGN    The members of KNoCC are all Androids.
    The proof is that they don't need capes during the day.
SIGN    Delete?
[22:03] Kiriya
    Could this be?
SIGN    The members of KNoCC are all Androids.
    The proof is that they don't need capes during the day.
SIGN    Yahho! News
SIGN     KNoCC are Androids?!
    Gone viral after misrepresenting themselves as Climbers
SIGN    Shocking!
SIGN    Really?!
SIGN    No way Androids can be Climbers
[22:05] Kiriya
    KNoCC are Androids?
[22:08] Kiriya
    This might be worth investigating.
[22:12] Kiriya
    Were you aware of these rumors?

    Let it snow
SIGN    Diamond Town
    A Town for Humans
    Only Humans Allowed!
[00:02] Joel
    In the white snow I can see
[00:05] Joel
    How much I love you
[00:08] Joel
    In this rusting city
[00:12] Joel
    Let it snow
[00:14] Joel
    I can feel your warm body
[00:17] Joel
    Wintry breath that you breathe
[00:20] Joel
    Where has it—
[00:25] Esola
    Thanks for always coming to get me, guys.
SIGN    No problem!
[00:29] Neon
    It gives me a chance to see what I painted.
[00:32] Chrom
    We do this because we want to.
[00:34] Kei
    You're KNoCC's songwriter, after all.
[00:37] Esola
    Thanks, guys.
SIGN    We're finally going to the fifth Stage!
[00:43] Chrom
    The most difficult one so far.
[00:45] Chrom
    We have to battle against other
    top Climbers on the fifth Stage.
[00:49] Esola
    Does that mean you might have to
    battle against Kite and STAND-ALONE?
[00:56] Neon
    STAND-ALONE's performances are top-level.
SIGN    We'll be fine if we get a new song from Esola!
[01:02] Kei
    With Esola's song and our
    performance, I know we can win.
[01:07] Chrom
    Let's concentrate on rehearsing
    to make sure we do.
SIGN    I wanna start singing! Let's hurry home!
[01:12] Kei
    Okay, how about a shortcut?
SIGN    Technoroid
SIGN    We've never been this way.
[02:55] Chrom
    This region is apparently
    known as Diamond Town.
[02:58] Esola
    Huh? Diamond Town?
[03:00] Kei
    What's wrong?
[03:01] Esola
    I've heard this area isn't very safe.
[03:05] Chrom
    The crime rate here is somewhat high.
[03:08] Chrom
    Many residents are unemployed, poor, or
    members of the robot exclusionist faction.
SIGN    Oh! Look!
SIGN    Robots Get Out!
[03:16] Esola
    Must be from robot exclusionists.
[03:18] Neon
    I don't like it here. Let's hurry home.
[03:21] Kei
    Yeah, let's move.
[03:25] Kei
    Oh, crap!
[03:28] Man A
    The hell?! Watch where you're goin'!
[03:31] Man B
    Who are you punks?
[03:33] Man B
    Never seen you around here.
[03:35] Man C
    What are you doing here?
SIGN    What now?
[03:39] Kei
    I'll stall if I have to.
     Get Esola out of here.
SIGN    Yeah.
[03:43] Man C
    What's with all the whispering, huh?
[03:45] Chrom
    We're just passing through,
    and don't want any trouble.
[03:48] Man A
    Who the hell you think you are?!
[03:50] Man D
    Hey.
[03:51] Man A
    Huh?
[03:52] Man D
    Wait, are these guys...?
[03:53] Woman F
    It's KNoCC!
[03:55] Woman E
    They just cleared the fourth Stage at Babel.
[03:57] Man B
    Seriously?
[03:58] Man C
    They're super famous!
[03:59] Man A
    Gimme an autograph!
[04:01] Esola
    Their attitudes changed so fast—
[04:05] Man B
    This thing fell over again.
[04:07] Esola
    A child?
[04:09] Man A
    Nah, forget it. It isn't even human.
[04:13] Man B
    Just a stray Android.
SIGN    A stray Android?
[04:20] Man
    What? We're just having some fun.
SIGN    You can't do this!
[04:24] Man D
    These things are the reason we lost our jobs!
[04:27] Woman E
    It doesn't have a registered owner,
    so nobody will know if we smash it!
[04:31] Kei
    Stop it!
[04:32] Woman F
    Why, though?
[04:34] Woman F
    Isn't being a punching bag
    one of a robot's jobs?
SIGN    Stop it right now!
[04:42] Man C
    Hey. Aren't those guys robots, too?
SIGN    KNoCC are Android Climbers!?
SIGN    Are you for real rn?
[04:46] Man C
    KNoCC is trending because people
    suspect them of being Androids.
[04:50] Neon
    That's...
[04:51] Esola
    It's going viral again?
[04:53] Man B
    Hey, seriously?
[04:55] Man C
    Well? What's the truth?
[04:56] Chrom
    Yes, we are Androids.
[04:59] Esola
    Chrom!
[04:59] Chrom
    Androids mustn't lie to humans.
[05:03] Man B
    First you steal humans' jobs, and now
    you're coming for our entertainment?!
[05:09] Man A
    You're trying to destroy humankind
     and replace all of us!
[05:13] Man C
    As if we're gonna let that happen!
[05:15] Motorbike cop
    You over there!
[05:17] Motorbike cop
    What are you doing?
[05:18] Man D
    Crap!
[05:19] Man B
    It's the cops!
[05:20] Man A
    Let's split!
SIGN    Now!
[05:22] Esola
    What about him?!
[05:23] Kei
    I got this!
[05:26] Motorbike cop A
    What the—
[05:27] Motorbike cop
    Halt! Stop right there!
[05:28] Motorbike cop B
    Hey! Wait!
[05:28] Chrom
    This way!
[05:31] Woman E
    Let go! Get your hands off me!
[05:33] Motorbike cop A
    Don't resist!
[05:34] Motorbike cop B
    This is Unit 12. 8-7-8 in progress.
    Requesting immediate backup!
[05:40] Man A
    They took the robot with them!
[05:42] Esola
    What should we do?
[05:42] Man D
    Which way did they go?
[05:43] Neon
    Find a place to hide!
[05:44] Man B
    Find them!
[05:44] Chrom
    Over there!
[05:51] Man
    I don't see 'em.
[05:52] Man
    Look over there!
[05:53] Man
    Got it!
[05:55] Kei
    Are they gone?
[05:56] Chrom
    It looks like it.
[05:58] Night
    Who's there?
[05:59] Light
    Wait, aren't you...?
[06:01] Night
    What are you doing here?
[06:03] Esola
    It's you guys!
SIGN    Oh, yeah! It's the guys who dance with Kite!
[06:08] Night
    How rude. We do have names, y'know.
[06:11] Light
    Our fans would kill you for
    not knowing who we are.
[06:16] Night
    My name is Night Kitanomaru.
[06:18] Light
    I'm Light Kitanomaru.
    We're members of STAND-ALONE.
[06:23] Chrom
    Why are you here, though?
[06:25] Kite
    We should be the ones asking that.
[06:28] Kite
    What are you doing in my bar?
[06:31] Esola
    Kite!
[06:33] Night
    Kite is the owner and manager
    here at Bar Air.
[06:37] Light
    He was running it before
    becoming a top Climber.
[06:41] Kite
    What are you trying to do,
[06:43] Kite
    bringing robots into my bar?
[06:46] Kite
    You need to leave, now.
SIGN    But why?!
[06:48] Night
    You should do what he says.
[06:51] Night
    Kite has a lot of influence around here.
[06:53] Light
    If you don't, you'll be in serious trouble.
[06:56] Esola
    Wait!
[06:58] Esola
    I beg you, please let me explain!
[07:05] Kite
    If a stray Android wanders in here,
    of course it'll get attacked.
[07:10] Night
    Many people here lost
    their jobs to robots.
[07:13] Light
    Robot exclusionists hang around here, too.
[07:15] Kite
    What are you even thinking,
    trying to rescue a robot here?
SIGN    We don't need a reason.
SIGN    We don't need a reason to help someone.
[07:32] Esola
    He should at least start up now.
[07:37] Esola
    Hey, are you okay?
[07:39] Joel
    Let it snow...
[07:41] Joel
    In the white snow I... can see...
SIGN    Is he singing?
[07:50] Chrom
    He appears to be carrying
    out an operation request.
[07:50] Joel
    Your warm body...
[07:53] Neon
    Without a registered owner?
[07:56] Chrom
    His personal name is Joel.
[07:58] Chrom
    According to his memory, his owner
    died of illness one week ago.
[08:03] Chrom
    It seems his owner worked
     in music before passing,
[08:07] Chrom
    and left him an operation request
    to sing these songs one last time.
SIGN    And Joel came all this way to fulfill that.
SIGN    But those jerks...
[08:22] Man A
    Kite!
[08:24] Man A
    You've got to hear this.
[08:25] Man A
    The cops got our—
[08:27] Man D
    Hey, isn't that them?!
[08:28] Man A
    This is where you were
     hiding, you little punks?
[08:32] Man A
    You won't get away so easy this time.
[08:35] Chrom
    What do you intend to do to us?
[08:38] Man A
    We won't touch you.
[08:39] Man D
    That's right. You might be robots,
[08:41] Man D
    but if we lay a hand on Climbers,
    we'd be the ones in trouble.
[08:45] Man A
    So instead, you can give us that robot.
[08:47] Man A
    We'll scrap it for you.
SIGN    No way!
[08:50] Man A
    Robots have to follow humans' orders, right?
[08:55] Man A
    Come on, hand it over.
[08:58] Man A
    I said, hand it over!
SIGN    No way! Stop it!
[09:02] Esola
    Kite! Please stop them!
[09:05] Esola
    People here listen to you, right?
[09:09] Esola
    Please, make them stop!
[09:12] Kite
    You know I hate robots, and
     you're asking me anyway?
[09:15] Esola
    Well, I...
[09:18] Kite
    Fine, then.
[09:19] Man A
    Kite!
[09:20] Kite
    But on one condition.
[09:24] Kite
    I'll let it slide this time if you
     beat us in a performance.
[09:28] Kite
    How about it? Does that sound fair?
[09:32] Man B
    A STAND-ALONE performance!
[09:33] Man B
    They'll slay 'em!
[09:36] Light
    It's settled, then.
[09:37] Night
    There's a stage in the basement.
    We'll show you.
[09:41] Kite
    KNoCC, you're going to face
    STAND-ALONE in an underground battle.
SIGN    Technoroid
[09:47] Junk Denta
    An underground battle!
[09:49] Junk Denta
    We've got an underground
     battle happening!
[09:52] Junk Denta
    Facing the top Climbers, STAND-ALONE
[09:55] Junk Denta
    is a group that has just cleared
    the fourth stage—KNoCC!
[10:02] Junk Denta
    The underground battle between
    STAND-ALONE and KNoCC is starting!
[10:06] Bora
    KNoCC?
[10:09] Chrom
    Underground battles are unofficial fights
    that aren't related to Babel.
[10:13] Chrom
    The winners are decided by viewers
    who vote with points on the dark web.
[10:18] Esola
    So no matter how many points you get,
    if the other group gets more, you lose.
SIGN    It's the same system as Babel's fifth Stage.
SIGN    And our opponents, STAND-ALONE, are top Climbers.
[10:29] Neon
    It's like the opening battle
    of the fifth Stage.
[10:31] Kei
    We can't afford to lose now.
SIGN    Joel, I promise we'll win and protect you!
[10:40] Kite
    Ready? Watch closely.
[10:43] Kite
    There's no way humans would lose to robots.
SIGN    Diamond Town
    A Town for Humans
    Only Humans Allowed!
[12:23] Twentysomething man
    STAND-ALONE kills!

[12:30] Chrom
    They really are extremely popular.
[12:32] Kei
    That's top Climbers for you.
[12:34] Neon
    We're in trouble.
SIGN    We'll do fine!
[12:39] Man A
    So? What'd you think of Kite
    and the guys' performance?
[12:42] Man B
    You don't have a chance!
[12:44] Kei
    What was that?!
[12:45] Esola
    Um, why do you all support Kite that much?
[12:50] Man D
    Because he's the guy who saved this town.
[12:53] Esola
    Saved it?
[12:54] Man B
    He donated tons of money to orphanages.
[12:57] Man B
    That's what he opened this bar for.
[13:00] Man A
    It ain't an easy thing to do.
[13:02] Man A
    That's why we all respect Kite and his guys.
[13:06] Man A
    Those three are heroes in this town.
[13:09] Esola
    Heroes?
[13:11] Kite
    I'm no hero.
[13:14] Kite
    I was raised in an orphanage too,
[13:17] Kite
    after I lost both of my parents
    in an accident.
[13:20] Kite
    And that's where I met these two.
[13:23] Night
    Back then, we had someone helping us out.
[13:26] Night
    Our very own "Daddy-Long-Legs."
SIGN    "Daddy-Long-Legs"?
[13:30] Light
    He totally saved us when we had nobody else.
[13:34] Kite
    We're just doing the same thing that he did.
[13:38] Kite
    He was the real hero in all of this.
[13:42] Kite
    It's your turn now.
[13:44] Kite
    I hope you can show us a good time, KNoCC.
SIGN    Yeah, we will!
[13:49] Esola
    Guys...
[13:51] Chrom
    Please don't worry.
SIGN    With Esola's song and our performance, there's no way we'll lose!
[15:40] Light
    They aren't half bad.
[15:42] Light
    We might lose, even.
[15:45] Night
    I'm so scared!
[15:49] Junk Denta
    Hey, jerks! Are you hyped up?
[15:52] Junk Denta
    It's the KNoCC versus
    STAND-ALONE underground battle,
[15:55] Junk Denta
    and it's time to see the results!
[15:59] Junk Denta
    Yeah!
[16:01] Junk Denta
    STAND-ALONE's points are taking the lead!
[16:04] Night
    Guess they weren't all that.
[16:06] Light
    Too easy.
[16:08] Junk Denta
    What's this?
[16:09] Junk Denta
    Is KNoCC making an unexpected comeback?
[16:12] Chrom
    It's growing!
[16:13] Neon
    We can make it!
SIGN    Yes! This is good!
[16:15] Kei
    Keep going!
[16:19] Esola
    Please!
SIGN    Give us more! Keep going!
[16:23] Light
    Huh?
[16:24] Night
    You're kidding...
[16:30] Junk Denta
    And the winners are...
[16:36] Junk Denta
    Yay! STAND-ALONE has won!
SIGN    That can't be right!
[16:43] Man B
    And that's game.
[16:45] Man A
    We won.
[16:47] Man A
    This thing's ours now.
SIGN    Wait!
SIGN    Any more and Joel's gonna—
[16:52] Man B
    Move it! You wanna get scrapped, too?!
[16:56] Bora
    Stop right there.
[16:57] Bora
    Those Androids belong to the boy.
[17:01] Bora
    If you hurt them, I will arrest you
    for property damage.
[17:03] Esola
    Mr. Bora!
[17:05] Man A
    Yeah, we know.
[17:08] Man A
    But this one...
[17:13] Esola
    Please stop!
SIGN    Stop!
[17:19] Bora
    That other Android has no owner registration.
[17:23] Bora
    It was going to be scrapped anyway,
    so it is legal to destroy it.
[17:26] Man A
    What he said!
SIGN    Stop it!
[17:34] Esola
    Cobalt!
[17:35] Bora
    An interlock mechanism.
[17:37] Bora
    When an Android contradicts the Three
    Laws of Robotics, its movement is locked.
[17:42] Chrom
    Our programming won't let us harm humans.
[17:47] Man A
    Just where I want you.
[17:49] Man A
    Stand back and watch!
SIGN    Stop it!
SIGN    Stop it!
SIGN    Stop!
[17:59] Kei
    Isn't there something we can do?
[18:01] Chrom
    Interlock mechanisms would stop us, too.
[18:05] Neon
    What is this? I feel hot!
SIGN    I want to take this heat and blast those guys with it!
[18:15] Kite
    What's going on?
[18:17] Kite
    Why would heartless Androids feel anger?
[18:24] Man A
    All right!
SIGN    Stop it!
[18:28] Neon
    Stop!
[18:38] Kite
    That's enough.
[18:39] Man A
    Kite?
[18:41] Kite
    I'll buy him from you.
[18:44] Kite
    You've had enough fun.
[18:46] Man A
    Wait!
[18:48] Night
    You gonna disobey?
[18:49] Light
    Kite told you to stop.
[18:51] Kite
    You're done. Go home.
[19:01] Esola
    Are you okay?
SIGN    Kite... why?
[19:08] Kite
    Do I need a reason to help someone?
[19:12] Kite
    I remembered something that person said.
SIGN    That person?
[19:18] Light
    A long time ago, we wrote
    a letter to our Daddy-Long-Legs.
[19:21] Night
    We asked him why he decided to save us.
[19:25] Night
    And he said, "You don't need
    a reason to help someone."
[19:29] Kite
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[19:31] Kite
    I only saved a human, and that's Esola.
[19:35] Kite
    None of my business if he helps
    you or that thing, though.
SIGN    Thank you!
[19:41] Kite
    But keep this in mind.
[19:44] Kite
    Saving that thing won't achieve anything.
SIGN    Go away!
[19:47] Kite
    There are people full of hate around
    the world who assault robots every day.
[19:52] Kite
    Saving just one isn't even
    a drop in the bucket.
SIGN    Even so...
SIGN    I can't stand here and do nothing.
[20:02] Kite
    Is that right?
[20:04] Kite
    You know, this isn't public knowledge yet,
[20:08] Kite
    but if you beat the fifth Stage at Babel,
    instead of receiving a cash prize,
[20:12] Kite
    you can request to have
    a wish granted instead.
SIGN    A wish?
[20:17] Light
    Of course, you can't ask for stuff like
     someone's death or to cure a fatal disease.
[20:23] Night
    The World Government isn't a god, after all.
[20:26] Kite
    That's why I chose money.
    For Nagi's treatments.
[20:30] Chrom
    What if we clear the fifth Stage and
    ask them to stop the persecution of robots?
[20:35] Kite
    Who knows? Either way, you have
    to beat top Climbers first.
[20:41] Kite
    And you don't know
    who you'll be matched against.
[20:43] Kei
    In that case, we just have
    to make sure we don't lose.
[20:47] Neon
    Yeah, for sure.
SIGN    And then we can protect robots and Androids around the world!
SIGN    We won't let anyone else end up like Joel!
[20:56] Kei
    Yeah!
[20:59] Bora
    Continue monitoring KNoCC?
[21:01] Bora
    I thought they were no longer
    suspects in the blast furnace incident.
[21:05] Takara
    It's something else.
[21:08] Takara
    You're ordered to watch the four Android
    units in KNoCC and their boy owner, Esola.
[21:13] Takara
    This comes from the top.
[21:15] Bora
    What are they suspected of?
[21:17] Takara
    How would I know? At least
    you got official authorization now.
[21:21] Takara
    Weren't you watching them on your own?
[21:23] Bora
    It wasn't arbitrary. The Three
     Laws of Robotics state—
[21:26] Takara
    Yeah, yeah. Just report anything you find.
[21:29] Takara
    Got it?
[21:31] Bora
    Understood.
[21:34] Kiriya
    Hello there, Kite. This is Kiriya.
[21:37] Kite
    What do you want?
[21:38] Kiriya
    Your next performance has been scheduled.
[21:42] Kite
    Since when did you become our manager?
[21:44] Kiriya
    Please defeat your challengers
    at the fifth Stage.
[21:47] Kiriya
    Your opponents are
[21:49] Kiriya
    KNoCC.
[21:51] Kiriya
    Show the world that humanity
    is the pinnacle of existence.
[21:56] Kite
    And if I cooperate, you really
    will find donors for Nagi, right?
[22:01] Kiriya
    Of course I will.
    If you beat KNoCC, that is.
[22:05] Kiriya
    I have faith in you.
[22:07] Kiriya
    We'll talk again.
[22:12] Kite
    Nagi...
[22:15] Kite
    I'll do whatever it takes for you.

    Following the "blast furnace incident"
[00:37] Announcer A
    in which a human was
    allegedly pushed to his death,
[00:39] Announcer A
    the voices of the robot exclusionist faction
    have become increasingly loud.
SIGN    Technoroid
[02:20] Esola
    Hey. I'm fixing it.
[02:23] Esola
    It's been broken since back then.
[02:26] Esola
    I really should hurry and deliver it
    to the address Father gave me,
[02:33] Esola
    but I kinda don't want to give it up.
[02:35] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
[02:38] Eliza
    Break it up, the four of you.
[02:41] Eliza
    You face the fifth Stage tomorrow.
[02:43] Eliza
    Now is not the time to be bickering.
[02:46] Eliza
    You must realize you'll
    be facing STAND-ALONE.
[02:49] Esola
    Wh-What's going on?
[02:52] Eliza
    Why can't you understand?
[02:54] Eliza
    It doesn't matter how much you ask.
[02:57] Eliza
    In this house,
[02:58] Eliza
    there is only one television!
[03:01] Chrom
    I'm supposed to be watching All the Doggies
    and Kitties of the World
right now!
[03:06] Neon
    No, I need to watch a live art performance!
[03:08] Kei
    No, I need to watch
    Heroes Unite for Victory!
[03:11] Esola
    So this is all about...
[03:14] Eliza
    The typical battle over the remote control.
[03:16] Eliza

[03:31] Chrom
    "It'll surprise you"?
[03:33] Neon
    What does "surprise" mean?
[03:35] Kei
    Is that like when humans go, "Wha—!"?
SIGN    Yeah! Doesn't that sound neat, Esola?
[03:40] Esola
    No way! Absolutely no way!
[03:43] Kei
    Esola's acting like Neon.
[03:47] Neon
    You don't like being surprised?
[03:49] Esola
    That's not really it.
    Sometimes it's fun to be surprised.
[03:55] Chrom
    Why don't we test that theory, then?
[03:58] Esola
    Huh?
[03:59] Kei
    This might be one
    of those fun times, you know.
[04:02] Esola
    Huh? Hey, wait—
[04:05] Announcer B
    We're here with a breaking news report.
[04:09] Announcer B
    To address the blast furnace
    incident that increased tensions
[04:12] Announcer B
    between robot exclusionist
    and inclusionist factions,
[04:14] Announcer B
    the World Government organization
    has released a statement.
[04:19] Esola
    Blast furnace incident?
SIGN    That's the incident we saw, right?
SIGN    What is the truth behind
    the blast furnace incident?
[04:24] Announcer B
    It was revealed that when
    the incident occurred,
[04:26] Announcer B
    robots at the factory were being mistreated,
[04:29] Announcer B
    leading to today's concerns that the victim
    may have been pushed to his death.
[04:34] Commentator
    The deceased manager was
    verbally and physically violent
SIGN    Factory manager who died
     in the blast furnace incident
[04:39] Commentator
    toward the obsolete Ritz No. 9 model robots.
[04:41] Commentator
    The robots may have rebelled in
    response to that constant abuse.
[04:46] Commentator
    It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
[04:49] Announcer B
    In response to this,
[04:50] Announcer B
    the World Government, which advocates
    for the spread of robots in society,
[04:54] Announcer B
    released another statement clarifying
    that robots and Androids have no hearts
[04:59] Announcer B
    and thus are incapable of
    seeking revenge against humans.
[05:04] Esola
    They have no hearts...
[05:06] Neon
    Esola?
[05:08] Kei
    Is it true that that robot pushed
     a human to his death?
[05:12] Chrom
    We do not know.
[05:13] Chrom
    However, we are all equipped
    with interlock mechanisms.
[05:17] Chrom
    We should not be capable of harming humans.
[05:21] Neon
    But there're some humans who think
    the robot really did push him.
SIGN    Can we really leave things like this?
SIGN    We were there when it happened,
SIGN    and we're robots, just like them.
SIGN    Shouldn't we find out what happened?
[05:43] Chrom
    Actually, I have been thinking that myself.
[05:46] Neon
    If we ignore the incident...
[05:49] Kei
    Then a lot more robots and
    Androids might be destroyed.
SIGN    But if we can prove that the robot didn't shove that human or anything,
SIGN    we might be able to prevent anyone else from getting hurt.
[06:04] Esola
    But how would we prove that?
[06:07] Neon
    Can we investigate or something?
SIGN    It faced daily abuse and
    violence from the manager.
SIGN    Topics It wasn't an accident?! The truth of the blast furnace incident.
    Robots without hearts... revolted against unfair treatment?
SIGN    The Ritz No. 9 model robot assumed
    to have pushed the factory manager.
[06:12] Takara
    What are you doing with that?
[06:14] Bora
    I am reevaluating the data
    from the blast furnace incident.
[06:17] Takara
    Are you that upset about KNoCC
    being put under special surveillance?
[06:21] Bora
    Androids do not question or complain
    about orders from humans.
[06:27] Takara
    Fine. I'll add it to my files, so go ahead.
[06:32] Takara
    Huh?
[06:34] Takara
    That's a whole lot of disk space
    just for the police academy test.
[06:38] Takara
    I've never seen anything like it.
[06:40] Bora
    I have a spare drive installed.
[06:44] Bora
    I will utilize it if my amount
    of data increases.
[06:50] Bora
    The amounts are so different...
[06:53] Esola
    Should we really be here when you're
    going on the fifth Stage tomorrow?
[06:58] Chrom
    I understand your concern.
[07:00] Kei
    But if we don't investigate now,
    I'll feel all uneasy right here.
[07:06] Neon
    There's nobody here?
[07:07] Esola
    I guess it's been sealed off
    since the police investigation.
[07:12] Chrom
    I wonder if there's
    another entrance somewhere.
[07:17] Esola
    Wha—?!
[07:19] Kei
    What's wrong?
SIGN    Did that "Wha—!" just now mean you're surprised?
[07:23] Esola
    I-I just saw something inside...
[07:25] Esola
    There was a p-person...
[07:27] Esola
    Wha—!
[07:33] Ritz #9 D
    Good evening. May I help you?
[07:40] Ritz #9 D
    This way, please.
[07:44] Esola
    The factory kept operating
    after the incident?
[07:48] Esola
    Didn't the police come to salvage you all?
[07:51] Ritz #9 D
    That night, the three units that
    met with Mister were salvaged,
[07:56] Ritz #9 D
    but the rest of us were
    recharging in the warehouse.
[07:59] Chrom
    I see. So those of you who
     remained kept things running.
SIGN    Why were the lights off, though?
[08:05] Ritz #9 D
    We are equipped with night vision sensors.
[08:09] Ritz #9 D
    When there are no humans here,
    we keep the lights off to save energy.
[08:15] Ritz #9 D
    That is what Mister told us to do.
[08:17] Neon
    Who's "Mister"?
[08:18] Kei
    Must be that guy from before.
[08:22] Ritz #9 D
    This is the blast furnace.
[08:29] Esola
    An Android?
[08:31] Ritz #9 D
    This is a robot disposal facility.
[08:35] Ritz #9 D
    The robots disposed of in this blast furnace
[08:38] Ritz #9 D
    are turned back into
    their component materials.
[08:41] Esola
    Oh, wow.
SIGN    That guy just now looked brand new!
[08:45] Ritz #9 D
    One-third of the robots
    collected here are unused.
[08:51] Chrom
    This is where the factory manager
    you call "Mister" fell in, isn't it?
[08:56] Ritz #9 D
    Yes, it is.
[08:59] Chrom
    Weren't you in storage when it happened?
[09:01] Ritz #9 D
    All of us at the factory
    always synchronize our data.
[09:06] Chrom
    Does that mean you also synchronized
    the data of the Ritz No. 9 unit
[09:11] Chrom
    that was standing next to the manager?
[09:13] Ritz #9 D
    Yes. I will retrieve the corresponding data.
[09:18] Kei
    They did say there was no security camera
    footage from the time of the incident, right?
[09:23] Neon
    That's why they didn't know
    exactly what had happened.
SIGN    If we can find out what really happened, we can prove it was an accident!
[09:31] Ritz #9 D
    Error. Error.
[09:33] Ritz #9 D
    Requested data has crashed.
    Playback impossible.
SIGN    Huh? Why?!
[09:38] Ritz #9 D
    Cause unknown.
[09:40] Chrom
    The police questioned us repeatedly
[09:42] Chrom
    because they couldn't access
    the synchronized data, either.
[09:46] Kei
    Now there's no way we can
    prove it was an accident.
[09:49] Neon
    So what now?
[09:51] Ritz #9 D
    We are all junkpiles.
[09:54] Esola
    Junkpiles?
[09:56] Ritz #9 D
    We Ritz No. 9 unit robots
    have all been recalled.
[10:01] Esola
    Wait. You've been recalled?
[10:03] Esola
    What do you mean "junkpiles"?
[10:05] Ritz #9 D
    Mister used to call us "junkpiles"
[10:08] Ritz #9 D
    and hit us.
[10:10] Esola
    Huh?!
[10:11] Ritz #9 D
    Mister hit us.
[10:14] Ritz #9 D
    Over and over
[10:17] Ritz #9 D
    and over and over
[10:20] Ritz #9 D
    and over...
SIGN    Technoroid
[10:23] Ritz #9 D
    Mister hit us.
[10:25] Ritz #9 D
    Over and over
[10:28] Ritz #9 D
    and over and over
[10:30] Ritz #9 D
    and over.
[10:32] Esola
    That's awful.
[10:33] Ritz #9 D
    Error. Error. Cannot execute program.
[10:37] Neon
    Another error?
[10:39] Chrom
    Maybe there's some kind
    of mechanical problem.
[10:42] Esola
    I'll take a look.
[10:51] Esola
    He sure has a lot of free memory.
[10:57] Esola
    That's strange. I wonder what this data is.
[11:04] Previous owner
    You already broke down again?
[11:07] Previous owner
    I spent a lot of money on you!
    At least do the work I paid for!

[11:13] Esola
    Was that the manager who
     fell in the blast furnace?
[11:17] Esola
    If it is...
[11:18] Neon
    No.
[11:19] Esola
    Huh?
[11:20] Neon
    That isn't the person who fell in.
SIGN    Yeah. That wasn't him.
[11:25] Chrom
    His voice and body type do not
    match the data in my memory.
[11:29] Kei
    Try opening another file.
[11:31] Esola
    O-Okay.
[11:36] Mister
    Hmm? Looks like you booted up.
[11:39] Mister
    This is a robot disposal facility.
[11:42] Mister
    You're here to be dismantled...
    Well, that was the plan,

[11:46] Mister
    but it looks like you still work, so
    I tweaked a few things and rebooted you.

[11:51] Ritz #9 D
    How do you do? I am a Ritz No. 9.
[11:54] Ritz #9 D
    I am an assist robot, designed
    to support humans' daily lives.

[11:58] Mister
    Ooh! Then I'll count on your assistance.
[12:02] Ritz #9 D
    Please tell me your name.
[12:05] Mister
    Ya sure aren't good at conversation.
    Are you just a pile of junk?

[12:09] Mister
    Or maybe I messed up the default settings.
[12:12] Ritz #9 D
    Messed-up? Mes-tuh...
[12:15] Ritz #9 D
    I will register your owner name as Mister.
[12:18] Mister
    No, no, I'm just a manager here.
[12:22] Ritz #9 D
    Mister, your orders?
[12:23] Ritz #9s
    Please give us your work orders.
[12:31] Esola
    Is this man...
SIGN    That's the guy!
[12:34] Neon
    They all called him Mister.
[12:36] Chrom
    Let's investigate a little further.
[12:39] Mister
    Huh? You lost a finger again?!
[12:43] Mister
    And I just fixed the last one!
[12:45] Mister
    You guys sure are piles of junk.
[12:49] Mister
    You reduced this month's energy use
    by 3000 points. Good job, junkpile!

[12:55] Mister
    You're busted again?
[12:57] Mister
    I'll fix you right up,
    so don't worry, junkpile.

[13:06] (Flashback) Ritz #9 D
    Mister.
[13:07] (Flashback) Mister
    Oh, heya, junkpiles!
    Come hang out while I drink.
[13:15] (Flashback) Mister
    Sure is pretty.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mister
    The moonlight is one thing
    that never changes.
[13:21] (Flashback) Mister
    You junkpiles were built for humans
    who can't go out in the sun,
[13:27] (Flashback) Mister
    and then you were knocked around and
    thrown out without even getting fixed.
[13:33] (Flashback) Mister
    Pretty much the same as humans.
[13:35] (Flashback) Mister
    One person gets picked to
    push other people around.
[13:39] (Flashback) Mister
    Well, a loner like me who hates talking
    to people is the real junkpile here.
[13:51] (Flashback) Mister
    Anyway, I'll fix you guys up
    as many times as it takes
[13:55] (Flashback) Mister
    until you're ready to call it quits. Okay?
[14:00] (Flashback) Mister
    Deal, junkpile?
[14:12] Esola
    So that's why.
[14:14] Esola
    He took very good care of you all.
[14:19] Neon
    Hey, were there any bugs
    that could cause an error?
[14:23] Chrom
    I didn't see anything like that
    in the data we examined.
[14:28] Ritz #9 D
    There is a bug.
[14:30] Ritz #9 D
    There is a program response in our
    memory data that cannot be verbalized.
[14:35] Ritz #9 D
    That is the bug.
[14:37] Ritz #9 D
    When we attempt to verbalize it,
    an error occurs.
[14:40] Kei
    So when you try to talk about
    the bug, you get an error?
[14:45] Ritz #9 D
    Yes. It appeared when
    we spent time with Mister.
[14:49] Ritz #9 D
    Mister treated us differently
    from o-o-our l-l-last o-owner...
[14:58] Esola
    I wonder...
SIGN    Do you mean you feel "lonely"?
[15:02] Ritz #9 D
    D-Details unknown.
[15:04] Kei
    You felt "fun," then?
[15:06] Chrom
    Or are you "sad"?
[15:08] Neon
    Or you "liked" him?
[15:10] Ritz #9 D
    Details unknown.
[15:17] Esola
    Maybe you were "surprised."
[15:20] Ritz #9 D
    Surprised?
[15:22] Esola
    After your previous owner beat you so badly,
[15:25] Esola
    maybe you were surprised by
    Mister's unexpected behavior.
[15:31] Ritz #9 D
    Details unknown.
[15:33] Ritz #9 D
    However, every time Mister called us
    junkpiles and hit us, we thought,
[15:38] Ritz #9 D
    w-w-w-we've never m-met
    a h-human like th-this.
[15:48] Esola
    Don't worry. I don't think the thing
    inside you is an error or a bug.
SIGN    Then what is it?
[15:57] Esola
    Something none of you are supposed to have,
[16:01] Esola
    but something I still believe you do.
[16:10] Esola
    Anyway, now we know these robots
    had no motive to push Mister off.
[16:17] Esola
    I copied the relevant data, so we
    should show it to a lot of people.
[16:22] Chrom
    But how?
[16:23] Esola
    Um, well...
[16:26] Neon
    On social media?
[16:27] Kei
    Who'd believe it there, though?
SIGN    Show it to a lot of people...
SIGN    Hmm.
SIGN    Oh!
SIGN    I got it! The fifth Stage!
[16:38] Esola
    You mean tomorrow?
SIGN    Yeah! The fifth Stage is the biggest show in Babel!
SIGN    A whole lot of people will see it then!
[16:47] Kei
    You mean play this guy's memory data there?
[16:51] Chrom
    However, Babel is a performance space.
[16:54] Chrom
    Can we play data files there?
[16:56] Ritz #9 D
    Entertainment Tower Babel.
[17:00] Esola
    Do you know it, too?
[17:01] Ritz #9 D
    Yes. Mister showed us videos of it.
[17:05] Ritz #9 D
    When he did, we learned something from him.
SIGN    Learned something?
[17:23] Esola
    The Ritz No. 9 robots are making...
[17:26] Neon
    A rhythm!
[17:34] Esola
    This is...
SIGN    It's music!
[19:03] Esola
    Awesome! That was awesome, guys!
SIGN    That was so much fun!
[19:08] Chrom
    I've never felt like this before!
[19:11] Esola
    This was a "surprise," too!
[19:13] Ritz #9 D
    I wish Mister c-could
    have s-seen i-it himself.
[19:22] Esola
    Mr. Bora?
[19:24] Bora
    What are you all doing here?
[19:27] Kei
    We could ask the same of you!
[19:29] Bora
    I have come to salvage evidence to
    reinvestigate the blast furnace incident.
[19:34] Cop A
    Damn, there were this many left?
[19:37] Cop B
    More than we thought.
[19:39] Ritz #9 D
    We were told by Mister to
    keep the factory running.
[19:44] Ritz #9 D
    If you have new instructions,
    please issue an operation request.
[19:48] Esola
    What are you doing?
[19:53] Kei
    Hey! How dare you!
SIGN    Stop! Please stop!
SIGN    Don't shoot!
[20:06] Esola
    Please stop it!
[20:07] Esola
    These robots haven't done anything wrong!
SIGN    He's right! Quit bullying them!
[20:13] Bora
    This order comes from the top.
    I cannot stop it on-site.
[20:18] Esola
    Oh, no!
[20:24] Esola
    Guys...
[20:28] Bora
    Stand down immediately.
[20:30] Bora
    Right now, you are all under
    special police surveillance.
[20:34] Bora
    You will be arrested for obstructing
    official police business.
[20:39] Bora
    An order to fire?
[20:40] Body voice
    Remote control mode.
[20:42] Body voice
    Your Body is now being controlled remotely.
[20:45] Esola
    Mr. Bora?
[20:47] Bora
    Why is this? They are under
    special police surveillance.
[20:50] Bora
    This situation does not
    warrant an order to fire.
[20:54] Bora
    So why am I...
[20:58] Esola
    Stop it!
SIGN    Huh?
[21:16] Esola
    Cobalt?
[21:17] Chrom
    Cobalt?!
[21:18] Kei
    Hey!
[21:19] Neon
    No way!
[21:20] Cop A
    Detective Bora, we'll leave
    the investigation subjects to you.
[21:25] Cop A
    Detective Bora?
[21:27] Cop B
    What a time to get an error.
[21:29] Cop B
    We've got no choice. We need
     to take them in, too.
[21:32] Cop A
    The kid is human, so don't screw up.
[21:34] Cop B
    Understood.
[21:35] Neon
    Esola, stand back!
[21:42] Cop B
    What's that?
[21:47] Cop A
    Where's the smoke coming from?!
[21:49] Cop B
    I can't see a thing!
[21:49] Neon
    Esola, can you breathe?
[21:52] Esola
    Yeah. Guys!
[21:56] Esola
    It's you?
[21:57] Nobel
    Shh.
[21:59] Nobel
    Now, while we can.
[22:01] Cop B
    Damn it! Where did they go?

[00:18] Esola
    Cobalt! Wake up, Cobalt!
[00:25] Chrom
    If we stay here, they'll find us right away.
[00:27] Neon
    Should we go somewhere else?
[00:29] Kei
    Where else would we go?
[00:31] Nobel
    Eliza, set the home security to maximum.
[00:35] Eliza
    Very well.
[00:53] Eliza
    As of now, I am overwriting
    your real-time location data
[00:57] Eliza
    to prevent you from being tracked.
[00:59] Nobel
    Eliza, turn off his GPS, too.
[01:03] Bora
    Wait. My system is managed by the police.
[01:06] Bora
    It's impossible to control externally.
[01:11] Bora
    What in the world are you?
[01:16] Nobel
    My name is Nobel,
    and I am your steadfast ally.
SIGN    Nobel
[01:22] Nobel
    That's all you need to know for now.
[01:24] Nobel
    More importantly, we need
    to take care of him first.
SIGN    Technoroid
[03:01] Denta
    People of the world, good morning!
[03:03] Denta
    You can't sleep all day, you know!
[03:06] Denta
    Today's the day of Babel's fifth Stage!
[03:11] Denta
    Which group will etch their names
    into history? The champions STAND-ALONE,
[03:15] Denta
    or their challengers, KNoCC?
[03:17] Denta
    Don't miss the battle of the century!
[03:20] Kiriya
    STAND-ALONE will win.
    It has already been decided.
[03:25] Kite
    I understand.
[03:26] Kiriya
    We've arranged things this way
[03:29] Kiriya
    to ensure our declaration reaches
    as many viewers as possible.
[03:35] Kite
    We'll beat KNoCC at the fifth Stage,
    make the declaration,
[03:40] Kite
    and then Nagi will...
[03:45] Light
    Phew. Well, that's that.
[03:46] Night
    Yeah. Let's go, let's go.
[03:51] Kite
    And then Nagi will get her surgeries, right?
[03:55] Kiriya
    Of course she will. That is
    the agreement we made.

[04:02] Light
    What's that about?
[04:03] Light
    Who were you talking to?
[04:05] Night
    What about Nagi's surgery?
[04:10] Kite
    Just focus on the fifth Stage for now.
[04:14] Night
    Kite...
[04:16] Kite
    I want a proper fight against them.
[04:19] Kite
    That's what I truly want.
[04:29] Nobel
    I checked Cobalt's condition.
[04:32] Nobel
    The damage to his Body
    isn't as awful as it looks.
[04:36] Nobel
    The problem is inside.
[04:38] Nobel
    The part of the chest where he was
    shot contains a storage device.
[04:44] Nobel
    Basically, that's where his
    memory data is stored, but...
[04:48] Esola
    Nothing shows up on the display.
    Does that mean...
[04:52] Nobel
    Yes. The index has been lost.
[04:56] Esola
    Oh, no.
[04:57] Kei
    Index?
[04:58] Esola
    It keeps the links that show
    what data is stored where.
[05:04] Esola
    When you delete a file from a computer,
    you don't actually erase the data.
[05:09] Esola
    You just cut the link
    between the index and data
[05:12] Esola
    so you can't see it from the outside anymore.
[05:14] Esola
    And then, the data that's
    been cut from the index...
[05:18] Nobel
    ...is eventually erased.
[05:21] Kei
    Meaning Cobalt's memory data is at risk.
[05:25] Neon
    Can't you rebuild the lost index?
[05:28] Esola
    Like I just said, if you can't see
    the data, there's no way to re-link it.
[05:34] Kei
    So we're out of options?
[05:39] Esola
    Cobalt...
[05:42] Nobel
    There is one thing we could try.
[05:45] Nobel
    If we can't access it from the outside...
[05:49] Esola
    We should approach from the inside.
[05:52] Chrom
    From the inside?
[05:53] Nobel
    It's impossible for humans, but for
     similar models with the same specs...
[05:58] Nobel
    Basically, for you guys, it's possible.
[06:01] Neon
    I'm in.
[06:02] Kei
    What do we do?
[06:03] Nobel
    I'll send your data into Cobalt's memory.
[06:08] Nobel
    Search inside to locate his missing
    data and pick up his memories.
[06:12] Chrom
    Understood.
[06:13] Neon
    Let's get started—
[06:14] Esola
    It's too dangerous!
[06:19] Esola
    You're putting the data of three people
    into one person's memory.
[06:24] Esola
    We don't know how much of a strain
    that will put on you or Cobalt.
[06:30] Kei
    Even then...
[06:34] Kei
    If Cobalt was in our position,
    I know he'd dive in headfirst.
[06:43] Chrom
    This may sound simplistic,
[06:45] Chrom
    but right now we could
    learn from his determination.
[06:49] Neon
    Don't worry. I promise we'll come back.
[06:53] Esola
    You guys...
[06:55] Bora
    Why would you go that far?
[06:57] Neon
    We don't need a reason to help someone.
[07:00] Neon
    I think that's what Cobalt would say.
[07:06] Esola
    All right. I'll take care
    of the Body repairs.
[07:13] Chrom
    Transfer mode preparations complete.
[07:15] Chrom
    All ready here.
[07:16] Kei
    All ready.
[07:18] Neon
    All ready.
[07:20] Chrom
    Standing by.
[07:22] Nobel
    When you pick up memory data,
[07:25] Nobel
    I'll apply a recovery program from here
    and reconnect it to the index.
[07:29] Kei; Neon; Chrom
    Roger.
[07:31] Nobel
    But since his memory will be strained
    by all of your additional data,
[07:36] Nobel
    it's possible he'll overheat.
[07:38] Nobel
    We have no way to predict what may happen.
[07:41] Nobel
    Communication between us
    will also become difficult.
[07:44] Kei
    So we'll have to work it out as we go.
[07:47] Esola
    Please try to be safe, guys.
[07:50] Kei
    Yeah.
[08:01] Kei
    Are we inside his memory?
[08:05] Neon
    Esola? Can you hear me?
[08:11] Chrom
    It seems we can't send messages after all.
[08:14] Kei
    It's like a big night sky.
[08:16] Chrom
    Isn't it more like outer space?
[08:20] Neon
    So pretty.
[08:30] (Flashback) Cobalt
    It's ready!
[08:32] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Perfect, right? Right?
[08:35] (Flashback) Kei
    Fail.
[08:36] (Flashback) Neon
    That's a fail.
[08:37] (Flashback) Chrom
    That's a perfect failure.
[08:39] (Flashback) Cobalt
    What?!
[08:49] Neon
    That's from the day he made Esola breakfast.
[08:53] Kei
    So these stars are Cobalt's memory data?
[08:58] Neon
    "Pick up complete?"
[09:00] Chrom
    I see. When we touch a star,
    we pick up its memory.
[09:04] Neon
    You mean we need all of those?
[09:08] Kei
    Let's go get 'em!
[09:20] Nobel
    It looks like they've begun.
[09:22] Esola
    Don't worry, Cobalt.
    Everyone's doing their best.
[09:27] Esola
    I will, too.
SIGN    Technoroid
[09:40] Neon
    Yah!
[09:41] Chrom
    Hah!
[09:42] Kei
    Gotcha!
[09:46] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Let's watch my show next!
[09:48] (Flashback) Neon
    No way! You said I could pick today!
[09:55] (Flashback) Chrom
    Cobalt...
[09:58] (Flashback) Neon
    Wait, Cobalt, are you okay?
[10:01] (Flashback) Cobalt
    I'm good, I'm good!
[10:02] (Flashback) Chrom
    Be careful!
[10:03] (Flashback) Kei
    Hey, let me drive!
[10:05] (Flashback) Cobalt
    No, I got it!
[10:06] (Flashback) All four
    Aah!
[10:11] Neon
    Geez. Cobalt's memory is full of weird stuff.
[10:14] Chrom
    So far I've counted 300 times
    that he interrupted my reading.
[10:19] Kei
    I told him he should let me drive!
[10:23] Neon
    He's always playing pranks!
[10:25] Chrom
    Constantly distracting me!
[10:28] Kei
    Man, he gives us so much trouble!
[10:35] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Neon!

    Kei!
[10:43] (Flashback) Cobalt
    We're a family, right?
[10:53] Kei
    When this is over, I'm gonna
    give him a piece of my mind.
[10:58] Kei
    Abandoning his family and disappearing on us?
[11:00] Kei
    What was he thinking?
[11:03] Chrom
    You're right.
[11:04] Neon
    Yeah.
[11:07] Kei
    All that's left are those big stars.
[11:20] Neon
    Nothing happened.
[11:22] Kei
    What's going on?
[11:56] Neon
    Oh, wow!
[11:57] Chrom
    We can pick up the larger memory
    data if we all touch them together.
[12:02] Neon
    That makes sense.
[12:03] Kei
    All right, next one!
SIGN    Quit building robots!
    Take back our human dignity!
SIGN    Robots are TRASH!
SIGN    Go away!!
SIGN    TRASH!
SIGN    Disappear!
SIGN    Robots are TRASH!
[12:49] (Flashback) Neon
    This is how much I like you.
[13:21] Chrom
    The thought of Cobalt leaving makes me sad.
[13:52] Kei
    I can't sit by and watch
    someone I care about fall apart.
[13:57] Kei
    I promise I'll bring you back!
[14:26] Kei
    We'll do that together again! Lots of times!
[14:42] Chrom
    Esola wishes that you'd
    come back too, Cobalt!
[15:18] Neon
    Without Cobalt, I'd be lonely. So lonely.
[15:22] Neon
    That's why...
[15:25] Neon
    You have to wake up, Cobalt!
[15:27] Chrom
    Cobalt!
[15:29] Kei
    Cobalt!
[15:37] Kei
    Is it over?
[15:39] Neon
    Will Cobalt get better now?
[15:42] Chrom
    Yes, he should.
[15:43] Kei
    All right!
[15:45] Neon
    Kei!
[15:49] Chrom
    Kei, don't you know your own strength?
[15:54] Kei
    Sorry, my bad.
[15:59] Kei
    What's wrong?
[16:01] Chrom
    Oh. It looks like there was one left.
[16:05] Neon
    That should be the last one, right?
[16:08] Kei
    Geez, Cobalt. Giving us
    trouble right up to the end.
[16:13] Neon
    Let's wrap this up.
[16:15] Kei
    Yeah.
[16:20] Esola
    Phew.
[16:22] Esola
    Finished.
[16:25] Esola
    I'm done, Caron.
[16:27] Esola
    Let's go check on everyone else.
[16:36] Esola
    Mr. Bora...
[16:37] Bora
    Rest for a bit.
[16:46] Esola
    Sorry I made you worry.
[16:51] Esola
    Thank you, Mr. Bora.
[16:53] Bora
    Oh, it's nothing.
[17:00] Bora
    Wh-Wh-What is th-this...?
[17:06] Esola
    Mr. Bora?
[17:11] Esola
    Is something wrong?
[17:12] Bora
    No, I'm fine. No problem.
[17:17] Bora
    What happened?
[17:19] Nobel
    The extreme burden on the memory
    is making the CPU overheat.
[17:23] Nobel
    If this keeps up, they're all in danger.
[17:25] Esola
    Huh?
[17:29] Kei
    Damn it!
[17:31] Neon
    We aren't moving!
[17:33] Chrom
    It's just a little further!
[17:34] Kei
    You gotta be kidding!
[17:51] Kei
    Cobalt...
[17:56] Chrom
    No, don't!
[17:57] Neon
    Wait!
[17:59] Kei
    Don't disappear, Cobalt!
[18:01] Neon
    Stay here!
[18:03] Chrom
    With us!
[18:13] Neon
    Cobalt!
[18:14] Chrom
    Cobalt!
[18:17] Esola
    Guys!
[18:18] Neon
    There was only one left!
[18:20] Chrom
    I can't believe we didn't make it.
[18:22] Kei
    Damn it!
[18:23] Chrom
    At this rate, Cobalt...
[18:26] Nobel
    Even if he woke up, Cobalt
    wouldn't be himself anymore.
[18:33] Esola
    Oh, no. Cobalt...
[18:37] Nobel
    However...
[18:39] Nobel
    What if a substitute
    downloads the lost memory data?
[18:44] Kei
    A substitute?
[18:46] Bora
    It shouldn't be possible to
    back up all of an Android's data.
[18:51] Nobel
    It would essentially be a replacement.
[18:55] Esola
    Where would we find that?
[18:57] Nobel
    The key to saving him is in your hands.
[19:01] Esola
    Me?
[19:05] Esola
    What is this supposed to be for, then?
[19:09] Esola
    The contents of the letter are damaged.
[19:13] Esola
    I'm still trying to fix it.
[19:15] Nobel
    It's written in here—
[19:17] Nobel
    the place where this has to be applied.
[19:20] Esola
    Be applied?
[19:21] Nobel
    The important thing isn't what it says,
[19:25] Nobel
    it's in how you use it.
[19:28] Esola
    What are you doing?
[19:43] Chrom
    That's our address here!
SIGN    To Esola
SIGN    Please deliver this letter to the location below.
SIGN    Hakushu Shibaura
[19:54] Nobel
    This letter was undoubtedly meant for you.
[19:59] Esola
    Does that mean...
[20:01] Nobel
    You should already know
    what you need to play.
[20:17] Esola
    Is it this?
[20:38] Neon
    What's that?
[20:40] Kei
    There's a way down there?
[20:43] Nobel
    All right, let's go.
[20:45] Esola
    Please, wait a second!
[20:47] Esola
    Mr. Nobel, who in the world are you?
[20:52] Nobel
    I was created for a specific purpose.
[20:57] Nobel
    I'm a support Android.
[20:59] Chrom
    A support Android?
[21:02] Nobel
    Yes.
[21:03] Nobel
    Your adoptive father, Professor
    Hakushu Shibaura, built me himself.
[21:09] Esola
    Father did?
[21:16] MC Denta
    It's the long-awaited fifth Stage!
[21:18] MC Denta
    But STAND-ALONE has unbelievably won
    by default because KNoCC was a no-show!
[21:24] MC Denta
    STAND-ALONE maintains their dominance!
[21:29] Kite
    Why didn't KNoCC show up?!
[21:31] Kiriya
    We didn't expect this, either.
[21:33] Kiriya
    The announcement came late, and now this...
[21:38] Kite
    What happens to Nagi?
[21:40] Kiriya
    Since you didn't make the declaration,
    I cannot honor our agreement.
[21:44] Kiriya
    The surgeries will be put on hold.
[21:47] Kite
    Nagi's running out of—
[21:49] Kiriya
    Is that the attitude you should be taking?

    It seems we will have to
    come up with another option.

    What is this place?
[00:09] Nobel
    This is Professor Shibaura's laboratory.
[00:13] Nobel
    He was a leading authority
    on cybernetic organisms.
[00:17] Nobel
    I was modeled on Professor Shibaura
    and now carry out his orders.
[00:24] Esola
    Dad's orders?
[00:26] Nobel
    To give support. To help with
    their emotional development.
[00:32] Nobel
    All right, let's get ready to wake Cobalt up.
SIGN    Technoroid
[02:08] Chrom
    We weren't able to recover
    the last part of Cobalt's memory data.
[02:13] Nobel
    Your activity history is
    saved in this main server.
[02:19] Nobel
    Since you all were with Cobalt, if we tie
    your memory data into his activity history,
[02:24] Nobel
    we can artificially recreate Cobalt's memory.
[02:28] Nobel
    Will you help us, too?
[02:29] Bora
    Me?
[02:31] Bora
    But I...
[02:35] Bora
    There is a disruption in part
    of my thought processes.
[02:38] Bora
    Unable to determine cause.
[02:40] Nobel
    If you assist, you should be able to
    uncover the cause of that phenomenon.
[02:49] Esola
    My memory, too?
[02:50] Nobel
    Yes.
[02:52] Nobel
    The more memories of Cobalt we can access,
    the more precise the recreation will be.
[02:57] Nobel
    Let's begin.
[02:58] Nobel
    Bora, synchronize the timing.
[03:01] Bora
    Synchronizing everyone's time
    codes. Marking segno point.

    Commence memory data download.
[03:23] Bora
    Download complete.
[03:26] Nobel
    We've collected all of your memories.
[03:29] Nobel
    Now we just have to wait for
     Cobalt's memory to be reconstructed.
[03:33] Nobel
    Let's have faith in the system
    Professor Shibaura developed.
[03:36] Chrom
    Professor Shibaura,
    the scientist who built us...
[03:41] Esola
    Dad built you...
[03:43] Kei
    What a coincidence that we met Esola,
    the son of the professor who created us,
[03:48] Kei
    and became a family like this.
[03:50] Neon
    It's so crazy! Must've been fate!
[03:53] Esola
    I wasn't really close to Dad,
[03:57] Esola
    and didn't think this thing
    had anything to do with me.
[04:01] Esola
    But thanks to this, I met you all.
[04:05] Kei
    That's right. The gift from the professor
    is what brought us together.
[04:11] Chrom
    The odds of us meeting
    were astronomically small.
[04:14] Esola
    It's a miracle. Dad sent us
    a miracle from heaven!
[04:20] Nobel
    No, it wasn't.
[04:22] Nobel
    It wasn't fate or a miracle.
[04:25] Nobel
    This was Professor Shibaura's will.
[04:29] Esola
    Will?
[04:30] Nobel
    The plan went off course a little,
    but this is the final step.
[04:35] Nobel
    Listen to what I tell you.
[04:37] Nobel
    There is something I need you all to know.
[04:44] Nobel
    It was 17 years ago, in 2078 A.D.
[04:48] Nobel
    The setting was a university
    cybernetics laboratory.
[04:53] Chrom
    This imagery must be from
    the reconstructed memories.
[04:57] Esola
    Dad?
[04:59] Kei
    That's Professor Hakushu Shibaura?
[05:02] Nobel
    The professor was studying artificial
    intelligence installed in robots.
[05:20] Esola; Chrom; Kei
    Eliza?!
[05:22] Neon
    No, something's different.
[05:24] Nobel
    Her name was Elizabeth.
[05:26] Nobel
    She was a 21-year-old student

[05:30] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Oh, h-hello, Elizabeth.
[05:33] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Professor, working too hard
    is bad for your health.
[05:37] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Ah, well, I lost track of time.
[05:40] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    No matter how important the research,
    you won't be able to continue if you get sick.
[05:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Yeah, sorry.
[05:47] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    I brought you a late dinner.
    You should at least try to eat something.
[05:51] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Thanks.
[05:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
    But, this...
[05:56] (Flashback) Hakushu
    This program code... what a marvelous idea!
[06:00] (Flashback) Hakushu
    But if you do it this way, you should
    raise the activation threshold.
[06:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
    The Freud function and
    Schopentwell routine need—
[06:07] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Professor!
[06:08] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Ah, dinner. That's right.
[06:12] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Right!
[06:13] Neon
    Wow, she's cute. Unlike Eliza.
[06:17] Nobel
    Elizabeth was a talented student.
[06:20] Nobel
    After graduation, she stayed at the lab
[06:22] Nobel
    and assisted the professor
    in his research on robots.
[06:27] Nobel
    With Elizabeth's help,
    Professor Shibaura worked
[06:31] Nobel
    on an artificial intelligence model
    that was based on her personality.
[06:36] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Incorrect. Dogs and cats
    are different animals.
[06:40] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
    However, judging by their many similarities,
[06:43] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
    it is highly likely that dogs
    and cats are identical creatures.
[06:47] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
    The number of legs, position
    of eyes, ears, and tails,
[06:51] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
    silhouettes, mammalian
    characteristics, body weight...
[06:54] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Put a cork in it!
[06:55] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Elizabeth, the AI can't keep up
    with sudden changes in emotion
[06:59] (Flashback) Hakushu
    and will likely become confused.
[07:02] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    My bad! I mean, I'm sorry
    about that! I just...
[07:06] (Flashback) Hakushu
    You have to be diligent when training AI.
[07:09] (Flashback) Hakushu
    If you overwhelm it, it won't
    develop a good personality.
[07:14] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    It's just like a human child.
[07:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Yes, this is something like our child.
[07:21] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Yes.
[07:24] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Professor?
[07:25] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Uh, yes?
[07:26] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Lost in thought again?
[07:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Uh, training AI is actually just
    like raising human children.
[07:35] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Basically, we have to teach them
    what is most important to people.

[07:46] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I want to instill these four qualities
    as the key to a happy life.
[07:51] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Will high intelligence alone allow
    them to develop these concepts?
[07:56] (Flashback) Hakushu
    What do you mean?
[07:57] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    How do I put it? I feel like they may
    need something beyond intelligence.
[08:02] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Something like a soul. Or a heart.
[08:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
    A heart?
[08:07] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Oh, excuse me!
    That was extremely unscientific.
SIGN    "Relationships" "Affection" "Good judgment" "Culture"
[08:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
    No, that's quite a unique idea!
    Program AI with a heart?
[08:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
    If we succeed, it would be
    a major historical achievement!
[08:19] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Professor...

[08:36] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Yes, well, I mean...
[08:38] (Flashback) Hakushu
    You were modeled after Elizabeth, so
    your thoughts resemble hers somewhat.
[08:45] (Flashback) Eliza
    Yes, I likely resemble Elizabeth somewhat.
[08:48] (Flashback) Hakushu
    With that in mind, what do you think of me?
[08:52] (Flashback) Eliza
    You are a respected professor.
[08:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Anything else?

    What do you think of me as a man?
[09:00] (Flashback) Eliza
    I have not seen enough samples of men
    to provide a reliable evaluation.
[09:04] (Flashback) Hakushu
    You don't need more.
    Just make a rough estimate.
[09:07] (Flashback) Eliza
    With estimates to supplement missing data...
[09:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Just use the data you have!
[09:12] (Flashback) Eliza
    A total of 83 points.
[09:14] (Flashback) Hakushu
    That's fine, that's fine!
[09:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
    And what if, what if I proposed
    marriage? What would you do?
[09:21] (Flashback) Hakushu
    If you were the real Elizabeth, that is?

    Yeah. Go ahead and laugh.
    Let's just laugh about it all.

[11:11] (Flashback) Hakushu
    No. You'll never be her.

    Eliza, you'll never become Elizabeth.
[11:23] (Flashback) Hakushu
    No, wait a minute.
[11:26] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I shouldn't have tried to remake her.
[11:29] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I should have just copied her as is!
[11:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
    That's it! If I download her
    memory directly as data,
[11:37] (Flashback) Hakushu
    and then feed that into the AI,
[11:39] (Flashback) Hakushu
    the memory-based behavioral patterns should

    It's no good.

[12:48] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Emotions don't stay
    attached to the memories.
[12:54] (Flashback) Eliza
    Professor, why don't you take a short rest?
[12:58] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Don't worry about me.
[12:59] (Flashback) Eliza
    Working too hard is bad for your health.
[13:02] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I said leave me alone!
[13:04] (Flashback) Eliza
    But...
[13:07] (Flashback) Hakushu
    That's strange. Why are you
    concerning yourself with me?
[13:10] (Flashback) Eliza
    Why? Well, that's...
[13:12] (Flashback) Eliza
    That's because I... Professor... Profes—
[13:20] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Eliza is supposed to be analyzing
    the recalled Ritz No. 9 robot right now.
[13:27] (Flashback) Hakushu
    The Ritz No. 9 models have also been exhibiting
    aberrant responses to instructions.
[13:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
    To leave room for expansion, I did equip them
[13:35] (Flashback) Hakushu
    with a large amount of
     unused quantum memory.
[13:39] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Wait a minute. A large portion of
     the human brain also goes unused.
[13:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Is that connected to what's happening here?
[13:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
    What if the quantum memory accessed
    higher-dimensional space-time?
[13:52] (Flashback) Hakushu
    And what if it assembled
    something like a soul there,
[13:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
    something imperceptible to humans?
[13:57] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Yes, like a heart!
[14:01] (Flashback) Hakushu
    If I use those quantum bits
    as an antenna to access that space,
[14:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
    AI should be able to develop a heart!
[14:07] (Flashback) Hakushu
    And this program should activate it!
[14:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I'll call it the Heart Program!
[14:14] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Eliza, soon I'll be able to turn you
    into the real Elizabeth!
[14:22] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Yes?

    Someday you'll be as lovely as your mother.
[14:43] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    Oh, dear. He's a boy!
[14:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Oh... Oh, is he? Esola, huh?
[15:03] (Flashback) Hakushu
    At first, I tried to raise you
    like a human baby.
[15:08] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Elizabeth and I developed you together.
    I thought of you as our child.
[15:14] (Flashback) Eliza
    Yes, I remember that.

    Both Elizabeth and her husband died instantly.

    Oh, no.
[16:09] Nobel
    Esola, who had been with his nurse,
    was left behind all alone.
[16:14] Esola
    All alone?
[16:17] Nobel
    Since you had lost your family, Professor
    Shibaura took you under his care.
[16:23] (Flashback) Hakushu
    This is Elizabeth's real child.
[16:27] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I'll raise him as his father.
[16:31] (Flashback) Hakushu
    If I become his parent like Elizabeth,
    that will bring me even closer to her!
[16:36] (Flashback) Hakushu
    For that, I'll raise this child
    to be a perfect human.
[16:41] (Flashback) Hakushu
    However, there are many things that I lack.
[16:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I have to search for people to educate Esola.
[16:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Search for young people who
     excel in the following:

[16:51] (Flashback) Hakushu
    First person: relationships.

    Second person: affection.
SIGN    "Good judgment"

[16:57] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Fourth person: culture.
[17:00] (Flashback) Eliza
    Search complete.
[17:02] (Flashback) Eliza
    The person who excels in
    relationships is Kota Osaka.
[17:07] Esola
    Is that...?
[17:08] Neon
    He looks just like Cobalt.
[17:10] (Flashback) Eliza
    Kota was raised in an orphanage
    and now lives alone.
[17:15] (Flashback) Eliza
    He is not wealthy, but still supports
    the institution where he was raised.
[17:19] (Flashback) Hakushu
    So he cares about family.
    That's perfect for "relationships."
[17:23] (Flashback) Eliza
    The person who excels at
    affection is Solo Igami.
[17:28] Chrom
    It's him!
[17:30] (Flashback) Eliza
    Solo worked as an actor
    performing for children,
[17:34] (Flashback) Eliza
    and as retaliation against the cruelty
    he endured when young,
[17:37] (Flashback) Eliza
    he devotes himself to caring for children.
[17:40] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Very fatherly. A good match for "affection."
[17:44] (Flashback) Eliza
    The individual exhibiting
    "good judgment" is Kanto Rindo.
[17:47] Chrom
    Huh?
[17:48] Esola
    It's Chrom!
[17:50] (Flashback) Eliza
    Kanto skipped grades and entered
    college early from the top of his class.
SIGN    Research Paper Awards Ceremony
[17:53] (Flashback) Eliza
    He needed scholarships because he was poor,
[17:57] (Flashback) Eliza
    so he devoted himself to study and
    presented a number of research papers.
[18:00] (Flashback) Hakushu
    A scholar! He must have "good judgment."
[18:04] (Flashback) Eliza
    The individual who excels
    in culture is Neru Eboshi.
[18:08] Neon
    That looks like me.
[18:10] (Flashback) Eliza
    Neru has a strong artistic sense
[18:13] (Flashback) Eliza
    and has released numerous works
    and performances online.
[18:17] (Flashback) Eliza
    He was bullied due to his unique personality,
[18:20] (Flashback) Eliza
    so he developed a strong sense of independence
    and a respect for personal expression.
[18:24] (Flashback) Hakushu
    An artist, huh. That is someone
    well versed in "culture."
[18:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
    I'll bring these four together
    to help with Esola.
[18:31] (Flashback) Hakushu
    Call them all here!
[18:41] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
    Esola, c'mon over here!

    Whee!
[18:54] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)

    That's a color of paint.
[19:12] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
    That's funny, huh? Did you know that, Esola?
[19:15] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
    Of course he knew...
    that Neru's a weirdo. Right?
[19:19] (Flashback) Esola
    Right!
[19:20] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
    You're so mean!
[19:21] (Flashback) Esola (kid)
    Neru's a weirdo!
[19:25] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
    At first this was just a well-paying job,
[19:29] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
    but it feels like I'm getting something
    a lot more valuable than money.
[19:32] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
    We should thank Professor Shibaura
    for bringing us all together.
[19:36] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
    He should've come with us today.
[19:39] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
    He hasn't been feeling well, and it
    seems his research has hit a dead end.
[19:43] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
    It's a difficult time.
[19:44] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
    What's happening?
[19:46] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
    The World Government has been pressuring
    him to stop because of ethical violations,
[19:51] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
    saying that building a robot with a heart
    is like a creating another human.
[19:57] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
    That sounds complicated.
[19:59] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
    Huh? What's that?
[20:01] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
    It's coming from the robot market.

[21:39] Nobel
    He installed the Heart program
    into their advanced AI kernels,

[21:48] Nobel
    However, he couldn't overcome his illness.

    After he had built the Android Bodies,
[21:53] Nobel
    but before he could upload
    all of the memory data,
[21:56] Nobel
    the professor collapsed.
[21:59] Nobel
    That's why the four Androids had to
    develop their hearts from square one.

SIGN    Before we died, the four of us were brought together for you.
SIGN    Professor Shibaura's research was also used to help raise you.
SIGN    The professor sacrificed his health and his life for that research.
SIGN    It wasn't fate or a miracle that we met.
SIGN    It was all because of you.
[23:12] Kei
    Hey!
[23:13] Neon
    Wait, Esola!
[23:14] Chrom
    Esola!
[23:19] Kei
    What is this?
[23:21] Chrom
    My body won't move.
[23:24] Neon
    My mind has gone blank.
[23:39] Nobel
    Yes,
[23:40] Nobel
    this is one more feeling that
    you should add to your Hearts.
[23:46] Nobel
    Despair.

[00:04] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Before we died, the four of us
    were brought together for you.
[00:08] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Professor Shibaura's research
    was also used to help raise you.
[00:14] (Flashback) Cobalt
    It wasn't fate or a miracle that we met.
[00:18] (Flashback) Cobalt
    It was all because of you.
[00:35] Esola
    Kite?
SIGN    Technoroid
[02:11] Takara
    What about Bora's GPS?
[02:13] Lieutenant A
    There's no signal.
[02:15] Takara
    He ran into the surveillance subjects at
    the site of the blast furnace incident.
[02:19] Takara
    And we've heard nothing since.
[02:23] Takara
    Then we get orders to shoot
    the surveillance subjects
[02:26] Takara
    when they aren't even our main targets?
[02:29] Takara
    What the hell is going on?
[02:33] Kei
    Despair.
[02:35] Chrom
    This feeling.
[02:42] Neon
    Esola!
[02:44] Kei
    We'll figure this out later.
    Let's go after him!
SIGN    Wait, guys!
[02:48] Chrom
    You've only just rebooted. Please stay here!
SIGN    Why are they following that kid?
[02:59] Bora
    Isn't it because he's Esola
    Shibaura, your owner?
SIGN    Huh? Owner?
[03:06] Bora
    Doesn't he live with you?
SIGN    No, he doesn't. It's just us four, Eliza, and Caron in the house—
SIGN    Wait. Why is Caron here?
[03:19] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Starting today, it's "I'm home!" Okay?
SIGN    What was that?
[03:30] Nobel
    A recollection that was lost with your memory
    data then artificially reconstructed.
[03:37] Nobel
    I bet it was about your
    first encounter with Esola.
[03:42] Nobel
    So, you must not be able to recall
    your memories with Esola after that.
SIGN    My first encounter with that kid?
[03:50] Nobel
    And while your memory
    was being reconstructed,
[03:54] Nobel
    you happened to learn what "despair" is.
SIGN    But should I really try to remember?
[04:02] Nobel
    Why would you ask that?
SIGN    Well, back when we were human, we all died helping him.
SIGN    If we chase him now, something bad might happen again.
SIGN    I'd better bring everyone back.
[04:21] Bora
    Wait! You haven't fully recovered yet.
[04:30] Bora
    You said I could uncover
    the cause of this physical malfunction.
[04:37] Kite
    Why didn't KNoCC show up for the fifth Stage?
[04:41] Kite
    Why won't you say something, damn it?!
[04:45] Kite
    I guess Climb Stages don't mean
    anything to Androids, after all.
[04:51] Kite
    And because of you guys, Nagi won't...!
[04:54] (Flashback) B Cobalt
    It was all because of you.
[04:58] Kite
    We don't have any time left!
[04:59] Esola
    Because... of me.
[05:03] Kite
    Hey, what's wrong? Hey!
[05:11] Kei
    Did he go that way?
[05:12] Neon
    No, he isn't there.
[05:15] Chrom
    Where in the world could Esola have gone?
SIGN    Guys!
[05:22] Kei
    Cobalt? Is it okay for you to move around?
SIGN    Forget that. It's too dangerous outside!
SIGN    Guys, we need to go home right now!
[05:31] Chrom
    But we still haven't found Esola yet.
[05:34] Neon
    I'm sure Esola is hurt.
[05:37] Neon
    You said terrible things to him!
[05:39] Kei
    We'll apologize together, so you look th—
SIGN    It was all that kid's fault!
[05:45] Chrom
    "That kid"?
[05:47] Chrom
    Cobalt, you can't mean...
[05:51] Chrom
    You don't remember who Esola is?
[05:56] Cop A
    Found them!
[05:57] Kei
    Damn it!
[05:59] Cop A
    Halt!
[06:00] Cop B
    Stop right there!
[06:10] Nobel
    The physical malfunction you're experiencing
[06:12] Nobel
    also appeared in the Ritz No. 9 robots
    that Professor Shibaura designed,
[06:17] Nobel
    including the Ritz No. 9 suspected of
    shoving Mister in the blast furnace incident.
[06:24] Nobel
    You do have something in common with them.
SIGN    Robot Inclusionists Demand Revisions to Constitution
    Exclusionists Refuse, Leading to Demonstrations
[06:28] Bora
    Something in common?
[06:31] Nobel
    You both have a huge amount
    of unused, supplemental memory.
[06:36] Nobel
    It's a one-to-nine ratio. The same
    amount goes unused in the human brain.
[06:41] Bora
    Professor Shibaura said something
    about that in the memory videos.
[06:46] Bora
    That it's possible something like a soul
    could develop in that unused space.
[06:53] Bora
    However...
[06:54] Nobel
    Why don't we test that theory?
[06:57] Nobel
    This main server contains activity records
[07:00] Nobel
    for all of the robot models that
    Professor Shibaura developed.
[07:04] Nobel
    If we compare your movement data
    and the Ritz No. 9 robots' data,
[07:10] Nobel
    we might be able to find
    the answer you're after.
[07:15] Nobel
    Did you already find it?
[07:17] Bora
    No, but I did find something else.
[07:26] Kite
    How are you feeling?
[07:29] Kite
    You collapsed and were out for a while.
[07:36] Esola
    Thank you.
[07:42] Kite
    You were saying that
    everything is your fault.
[07:46] Esola
    It is my fault that... everyone...
[07:55] Chrom
    Are you okay, Neon?
[07:58] Neon
    I'm okay. It just grazed me.
[08:01] Neon
    But we still need to hurry and find Esola.
SIGN    It was his fault, after all.
SIGN    It's the same thing the memory footage showed.
SIGN    Just like when we were humans, it's that kid's fault that we all...
[08:17] Kite
    Died?
[08:18] Kite
    What do you mean?
[08:37] Esola
    I...
[08:40] Esola
    I might only make them unhappy again.
SIGN    I know it now.
SIGN    I don't want my memories of meeting that kid anymore.
SIGN    Because...
[08:56] Esola
    I can't... I can't forgive myself.
SIGN    We never should have...
[09:05] Esola
    ...met in the first place!
SIGN    You guys think so too, right?
[09:18] Kei
    Cobalt!
[09:21] Kei
    How could you?!
[09:26] Neon
    You're disgusting.
[09:29] Kei
    Hey.
[09:30] Chrom
    Neon?
[09:31] Neon
    How? How could you say that, Cobalt?!
SIGN    But I...
[09:35] Neon
    You're the one who kept saying
    that Esola was family!
SIGN    Family?
[09:43] Chrom
    Certainly, when we heard about
    what happened to us as humans,
[09:47] Chrom
    I did feel pain in my chest.
[09:49] Neon
    It never stung that much before.
SIGN    So you do...
[09:53] Kei
    But that isn't the same as saying
    we never should have met!
[09:59] Kei
    The reason we're here is because we know
    our meeting with Esola was all planned!
[10:07] Chrom
    It wasn't fate.
[10:09] Neon
    It wasn't a miracle, either.
[10:11] Kei
    That's why we're feeling this pain.
SIGN    What do you mean? I can't...
[10:21] Chrom
    Please try to remember. You always
    used to feel the same things that we did.
SIGN    I did... too?
[10:30] Chrom
    Yes. You're the one who
    said Esola was family.
[10:34] Chrom
    You must understand how much that
    encounter with Esola meant to us all.
[10:49] (Flashback) Esola shadow
    All of you are really...
[11:00] Neon
    Cobalt!
[11:10] Esola
    Cobalt.
[11:16] Neon
    Esola!
[11:18] Esola
    Guys.
[11:21] Kite
    Did something happen to you all?
[11:30] Neon
    Police?
[11:31] Chrom
    No, that's...
[11:33] Kite
    The World Government.
[11:35] speaker voice
    Mr. Esola Shibaura.
[11:37] speaker voice
    We are taking you and your
    four Androids into custody.
[11:41] speaker voice
    You cannot refuse.
SIGN    Technoroid
[11:46] Takara
    Call off the search?!
[11:49] Takara
    The World Government's taking over?
[11:52] Takara
    Hold on, what about Bora—
[11:57] Takara
    Damn it!
[11:58] Takara
    What the hell have you gotten yourself into?
[12:04] Denta
    Born to exist side-by-side with
    humans and programmed to perfection,
[12:08] Denta
    they're sure to become your
    trusted partners in life!
[12:13] Kei
    Hey! Let us outta here!
[12:15] Neon
    Let us out!
[12:18] Chairperson
    Come to order.
[12:21] Chairperson
    Now, in accordance with
    World Government regulations,
[12:24] Chairperson
    we will begin our inquiry regarding measures
[12:26] Chairperson
    against the four Androids
    owned by Esola Shibaura.
[12:31] Chairperson
    The four units presented as evidence
    here are owned by you, Esola Shibaura.
[12:35] Chairperson
    Is that correct?
[12:38] Esola
    They aren't objects—
[12:44] Neon
    Esola.
[12:48] Chairperson
    Esola Shibaura, please answer the question.
[12:54] Esola
    I am their owner.
[12:56] Chairperson
    Very well.
[13:00] Esola
    We saw these in the underground lab.
[13:03] Esola
    How did they get these?
[13:05] Chairperson
    The World Government once
    ordered Professor Shibaura
[13:09] Chairperson
    to halt his research into his Heart
    program because of ethical violations.
[13:15] Chairperson
    However, the Professor ignored that order
    and continued his research in secret.
[13:22] Chairperson
    Although the four units installed with
    the Heart program were non-organic objects,
[13:25] Chairperson
    they were unusual in that
    they developed consciousness,
[13:30] Chairperson
    leading to developments
    that we could not ignore.
[13:36] Chairperson
    The units are suspected
    of enacting violence against citizens
[13:39] Chairperson
    and plotting further attacks against humans.
[13:43] Chairperson
    Furthermore, they broke into the scene
    of the blast furnace incident,
[13:46] Chairperson
    defied police instructions, and fled.
[13:49] Esola
    Is this...
[13:51] Chairperson
    This dangerous behavior is thought
    to be caused by the Heart program.
[13:56] Neon
    We haven't attacked anybody!
[13:59] Chrom
    It would be impossible to begin with.
[14:01] Chrom
    Androids are equipped
    with interlock mechanisms.
[14:04] Chairperson
    We will now hear testimony
    regarding this situation.
[14:07] Chairperson
    Mr. Kite Hitotsubashi.
[14:09] Chairperson
    You have had numerous
    encounters with the evidence.
[14:14] Chairperson
    Have you noticed anything with those units
    that deviated from normal Android behavior?
[14:21] Kite
    The fact that they became Climbers and
    started performing at Babel is deviant enough.
[14:27] Kite
    I've never trusted any Android to begin with.
[14:34] Kite
    But once I saw their relationship
    with their owner up close,
[14:38] Kite
    I started to doubt myself.
[14:41] Kite
    They may mean the same thing
    to Esola Shibaura that Nagi means to me.
[14:47] Kite
    From what I've seen, they
    are not mere Androids.
[14:53] Kite
    I want to compete against them as Climbers.
[14:56] Kite
    I see them as equals.
[15:00] Esola
    Kite...
[15:03] Chairperson
    Very well.
[15:05] Chairperson
    The witness's testimony confirms
    the abnormalities in the Heart program.
[15:10] Kite
    Huh?
[15:11] Esola
    Abnormalities?
[15:14] Chairperson
    We will now enter deliberations
[15:16] Chairperson
    regarding whether or not we should
    delete the Heart program from the evidence
[15:20] Chairperson
    and reformat them.
[15:23] Esola
    You can't!
[15:24] Kei
    Reformat?
[15:25] Chrom
    That means we'd forget
    Esola and everyone else.
[15:30] Neon
    They can't do that!
[15:32] Kei
    Not a chance!
[15:33] Chairperson
    Please issue an operation
    request or force shutdown
[15:37] Chairperson
    to prevent the evidence from functioning.
[15:42] Chairperson
    Mr. Esola Shibaura?
[15:44] Esola
    Why?
[15:47] Esola
    Why aren't they allowed to move freely?
[15:52] Esola
    Why is that abnormal?
[15:56] Esola
    Why...
[15:57] Esola
    when it's only because
    they have their own hearts?!
[16:02] Chrom
    Esola...
SIGN    Hearts?
[16:07] Esola
    Who decided that it's abnormal
    for an Android to have a heart?
[16:12] Esola
    Their hearts are totally natural.
[16:16] Esola
    They think and feel things for themselves.
[16:20] Esola
    They had their own hearts from the beginning!
[16:24] Esola
    I know...
[16:26] Esola
    because the first day I met them,
    they were so kind!
[16:34] Esola
    They were so kind to me.
[16:39] Esola
    Cobalt!
[16:43] (Flashback) Esola
    I just really like you guys!
[16:45] (Flashback) Esola
    I'm home!
[16:47] (Flashback) Esola
    All of you are really...
[16:50] (Flashback) Esola
    so kind to me!
SIGN    Eso...la.
[17:01] Neon
    Cobalt?
[17:02] Kei
    What, man?
SIGN    I remember when he taught me
SIGN    what "kindness" felt like.
SIGN    That was Esola!
[17:13] Chrom
    Do you remember now?!
SIGN    Yeah. I'll never forget it.
SIGN    Esola is an important part of our family!
SIGN    Don't delete our Hearts!
[17:29] Chrom
    Yes, our Hearts are who we are!
[17:33] Kei
    You can't get rid of something this real!
[17:36] Neon
    Don't delete everything against our will!
SIGN    It isn't just us, either.
SIGN    It's the Ritz No. 9s at the factory, too.
[17:45] Chrom
    Yes. They cared so much about Mister.
[17:49] Kei
    They were always with him.
[17:52] Neon
    Just like us and Esola!
[17:55] Esola
    Guys...
[17:57] Kei
    Esola means so much to us.
[18:00] Kei
    Even if our meeting wasn't
    as special as we thought.
[18:04] Chrom
    Even if it wasn't a miracle.
[18:06] Neon
    Even if it wasn't fate.
SIGN    I'm so happy we met Esola!
SIGN    And my Heart is what lets me feel that!
[18:18] Kite
    I support their request.
[18:23] Kite
    If these guys lose their Hearts, the world
    will lose the Climbers known as KNoCC.
[18:29] Kite
    But we still haven't faced each other
    on the fifth Climb Stage, yet.
SIGN    The fifth Stage!
[18:38] Kite
    They never showed up.
    They still owe me for that.
SIGN    That's right!
SIGN    We have to beat STAND-ALONE to protect our friends around the world!
[18:47] Chrom
    Yes, we'll use our wish to
    protect all Androids and robots!
[18:52] Neon
    And give them Hearts.
[18:54] Neon
    If they have Hearts,
    we'll all understand each other.
[18:58] Kei
    Like Esola and we do!
SIGN    Please allow this! Let us compete on the fifth Stage!
[19:09] Chrom
    And if we win, let us keep our Hearts!
[19:12] Kei
    Recognize that people
    like us can have Hearts!
[19:19] Chairperson
    Mr. Esola Shibaura, either
    issue an operating request
[19:24] Chairperson
    or force the evidence to shut down.
[19:31] Esola
    Please!
[19:32] Council member A (Kiriya)
    I second their motion.
[19:35] Council member A (Kiriya)
    While they are Androids, they have
    consciousnesses just like people.
[19:40] Council member A (Kiriya)
    They seem to be a unique case.
[19:42] Council member A (Kiriya)
    Please refer to Article Three,
    concerning personal rights,
[19:45] Council member A (Kiriya)
    and Article Twelve, concerning
    artificial intelligence.
[19:49] Council member A (Kiriya)
    I request that the council decides
    in accordance with these regulations.
[19:54] Chairperson
    So you consider the four Androids
    to be equal to humans?
[19:58] Council member A (Kiriya)
    Yes. Recklessly reformatting them may
    prove to be a violation of regulations.
[20:11] Chairperson
    We will now enter deliberations.
[20:15] Denta
    Yo, people! Got big news for you today!
[20:18] Denta
    The champions STAND-ALONE
    and challengers KNoCC
[20:21] Denta
    are having an unexpected
    rematch at the fifth Stage!
[20:26] Denta
    And the members of KNoCC are
    actually, g-g-get this, Androids!
[20:31] Denta
    An unprecedented battle between humans
    and Androids is going down tonight!
[20:37] Kiriya
    We were right to copy their activity data.
[20:42] Kiriya
    That video evidence of the Androids'
    violent nature turned out to be good bait.
[20:47] Kiriya
    And then Kite took the bait when
    he suggested the fifth Stage.
[20:53] Group member A
    It's finally happening.
[20:55] Group member A
    However, if KNoCC wins, all robots
    will be installed with the Heart program.
[21:01] Kiriya
    They have no chance of winning.
[21:04] Kiriya
    Since the blast furnace incident, the whole
    world has turned into robot exclusionists.
[21:08] Kiriya
    For an obsolete mass-production model,
    that unit sure did good work for us.
[21:16] Nobel
    I should've expected a police
    testing robot to be this sharp.
[21:21] Nobel
    You noticed the discrepancy
    in activity records right away.
[21:25] Bora
    My analysis uncovered both the circumstances
    and objectives of the incident.
[21:30] Bora
    But it's still baffling.
[21:32] Nobel
    Human thoughts tend to be baffling.
[21:36] Nobel
    But so is your search
    for meaning in all of this.
[21:40] Bora
    Still, why do I...
[21:45] Nobel
    You should install it.
[21:48] Bora
    If I do, will I be able to find
    a name for these aberrant thoughts?
SIGN    heart
SIGN    heart
[21:55] Nobel
    That's something I'd also like to know.
[21:57] Nobel
    What awaits at the depth of human despair?
[22:01] Nobel
    And what exists beyond that?
[22:08] Nobel
    Will you join me,
[22:11] Nobel
    and go to Babel?

SIGN    Let's show them! Let's beat STAND-ALONE!
SIGN    What was that sound?
SIGN    Wha—
[01:44] Kite
    I heard what you said.
[01:47] Kite
    But I won't let you win that easily.
SIGN    Kite!
[01:59] Nobel
    Don't you want to see them?
[02:03] Nobel
    They're your family, aren't they?
[02:11] Esola
    No. I don't have any right to see them.
[02:19] Nobel
    If they happen to lose the fifth Stage,
    all four of them will be reformatted.
[02:24] Nobel
    But if they win,
[02:26] Nobel
    all of the robots and Androids in the world
    will receive the Heart program.
[02:32] Esola
    How did you know that?
[02:35] Bora
    Esola Shibaura, they need your help.
[02:39] Bora
    At this rate, KNoCC will lose.
SIGN    Banish all robots and Androids NOW!
[02:44] Member A
    They've already sold seven times
    as many online tickets as usual.
[02:49] Member A
    80% of the population is expected to watch.
[02:51] Kiriya
    That isn't enough. We need more.
    Bring the numbers up.
[02:55] Member A
    But there's a chance that
    will crash the servers.
[02:59] Kiriya
    We've already fought our way this far.
[03:02] Kiriya
    We need as many humans as possible
    to witness this moment,
[03:06] Kiriya
    when humans defeat robots
    and banish them from society.
[03:10] Kiriya
    That glorious moment.
[03:12] Nobel
    It's a kind of performance by
    the robot exclusionist faction.
[03:18] Nobel
    Suppose the humans of STAND-ALONE
    defeat the Androids of KNoCC.
[03:23] Nobel
    If that happens, the exclusionist sentiment
    among the public will grow even stronger.
[03:27] Esola
    But the audience votes on the performances
    at Babel. KNoCC could still win.
[03:33] Bora
    The blast furnace incident.
[03:35] Bora
    As long as that remains unsolved,
    humans won't treat Androids fairly.
[03:40] Esola
    Why, though?
[03:41] Esola
    We know that the Ritz No. 9s
    were friends with Mister.
[03:45] Esola
    There's no way they'd kill him.
[03:48] Bora
    Mister was indeed pushed by a Ritz No. 9,
[03:52] Bora
    but it was hacked from the outside.
[03:54] Esola
    Huh?
[03:55] Bora
    I found the evidence in
    the Ritz No. 9's activity logs
[03:58] Bora
    in Professor Shibaura's
    underground laboratory.
[04:05] Esola
    But who would do that?
[04:07] Nobel
    It was all a plot by the robot exclusionists.
[04:10] Nobel
    They've been working in
    the shadows all this time,
[04:13] Nobel
    fanning the exclusionists' anger to make
    it explode in the biggest way possible.
SIGN    Banish all robots!
    
    Robots are enemies
    of humanity
[04:19] Bora
    This is the proof.
[04:21] Bora
    I want you to use Babel's network
    to show it to the whole world.
[04:25] Esola
    You're asking me?
[04:27] Nobel
    We still have some work left to do.
[04:31] Nobel
    We'll leave this in your hands.
[04:35] Nobel
    Oh, right. There was one other
     person we were calling in.
[04:39] Nobel
    Can you contact him?
SIGN    Hey, who was that person?
[04:48] Kite
    He's from the robot exclusionist faction.
[04:51] Kite
    Most likely, he was here to sabotage you
[04:54] Kite
    so you'd malfunction while performing.
[04:57] Neon
    So you... saved us, Kite?
[05:00] Chrom
    You also supported us in front
    of the World Government.
[05:04] Chrom
    But why?
[05:06] Kite
    Who knows.
[05:09] Kite
    To tell the truth,
[05:11] Kite
    I feel like we're mirror
    reflections of each other.
[05:15] Kite
    No matter who wins, no matter who fails,
[05:18] Kite
    one side will lose something very important.
[05:22] Kite
    I know exactly how it feels to
    want to protect someone special.
[05:29] Kite
    Go and see Esola Shibaura.
[05:32] Kite
    Go see him so you can
    fight me with no regrets.
[05:40] Esola
    Where's the network server?
[05:42] Nobel
    It's directly beneath the fifth Stage.
[05:44] Nobel
    The only way to get there is by elevator.
[05:47] Bora
    However, the audience
    elevator is being monitored.
[05:50] Bora
    Only Climbers can use the stage elevator.
[05:54] Esola
    What about the drop
    chute for the losers, then?
[06:03] Nobel
    Don't you want to see them?
[06:05] Nobel
    They're your family, aren't they?
[06:08] Esola
    No, I can't see them.
    I don't have any right to.
[06:13] Esola
    Still, I don't want their memories
    and their hearts to be erased.
[06:20] Esola
    I can't let that happen!
[06:25] Esola
    Huh?!
SIGN    Where do you think Esola is?
[06:33] Kei
    We're out of time. Let's split up and search!
SIGN    Okay.
[06:41] All four
    Huh?!
SIGN    Esola!
[06:54] Guard B
    I found them!
[06:55] Guard A
    You! Stop!
[06:58] Kite
    Get in!
[06:59] Guard A
    Stop! Stop right there!
[07:03] Guard B
    Wait!
SIGN    Esola.
SIGN    I'm sorry!
[07:28] Esola
    I'm so sorry!
SIGN    I'm sorry. I said some terrible things.
SIGN    Even though none of it was your fault.
[07:43] Esola
    No, it was my fault.
[07:46] Esola
    Because of me, you all died...
[07:51] Neon
    No!
[07:53] Chrom
    We know you didn't want this to happen!
[07:55] Kei
    The professor did it all on his own!
[07:57] Esola
    Still!
SIGN    We're a family!
SIGN    We'll beat the fifth Stage and then go home to Eliza and Caron.
SIGN    Fireworks?
[08:24] Esola
    It's just like that time.
[08:27] Esola
    When we all watched fireworks together.
[08:32] Esola
    Just like now, you all protected me.
[08:36] Esola
    And then...
SIGN    I bet we felt the same way when we were human that we do now.
SIGN    No matter what happens to us, Esola,
SIGN    we want to help you. Protect you.
SIGN    Because we like you a lot!
[08:57] Kei
    No, "like" doesn't even cover it.
[09:00] Chrom
    It's more.
[09:01] Neon
    A lot more.
SIGN    We like you more than a lot!
[09:16] Esola
    Same here. I like you all, more than a lot!
[09:26] Neon
    My heart feels fluttery.
[09:28] Chrom
    Yes, this is a new sensation.
[09:31] Esola
    You know what? I think that's...
SIGN    Technoroid
[09:40] Denta
    The fifth Climb Stage revenge
    match is about to begin!

[09:45] Kiriya
    What were you doing with KNoCC?!
[09:49] Kite
    What's the point of asking?
[09:50] Kite
    Regardless of anything before,
    we only want a fair fight.
[09:56] Kiriya
    After all that, you suddenly
    want a fair fight?
[09:59] Kiriya
    Did you forget that your little
    sister's life is on the line?
[10:04] Kiriya
    If you don't win the fifth
    Stage, you're only—
[10:07] Kiriya (video)
    We were right to copy their activity data.
[10:10] Kiriya
    What is this?
[10:11] Kiriya (video)
    That video evidence of the Androids'
    violent nature turned out to be good bait.

[10:12] Member A
    Babel's network has been compromised!
[10:14] Kiriya
    What?!
[10:16] Kiriya (video)
    And that's exactly how
    we were able to hack them.
[10:19] Kiriya (video)
    The blast furnace incident
    was just our first move.
[10:22] Kiriya (video)
    Everything went according to plan.
SIGN    Banish all robots!
    
    Robots are enemies
    of humanity
[10:26] Nobel (diff. voice)
    This is the truth behind
    the blast furnace incident.
[10:29] Nobel (diff. voice)
    After the Ritz No. 9 robot was forced
    to push the manager to his death,
[10:33] Nobel (diff. voice)
    it was ordered to jump in itself,
    destroying the evidence.
SIGN    A Human Society By Humans and For Humans
[10:38] Nobel (diff. voice)
    The robot exclusionist faction
    is behind everything.
[10:42] Kiriya
    Who's doing this?!
[10:48] Kite
    We should get a fair fight now.
[10:52] Kiriya
    Damn you!
[10:57] Light
    You've got some nerve,
    taking a swing at our center.
[11:01] Kiriya
    Damn it!
[11:08] Night
    It's time for the fifth Stage.
[11:14] Light
    I won't ask what kind of deal
    you made with him.
[11:19] Light
    But you know,
[11:21] Light
    you should let us carry some
    of that burden with you, okay?
[11:27] Night
    From the day we started STAND-ALONE,
    we've been in this together.
[11:32] Night
    Right?
[11:37] Kite
    Yeah.
[11:41] MC Denta
    Here it comes, everyone!
[11:44] MC Denta
    It's time for the revenge match
    at Babel's fifth Stage!
[11:54] MC Denta
    Humans versus Androids.
    It's the battle of the century!
[11:58] MC Denta
    First up are the top climbers
    that are always turning heads.
[12:02] MC Denta
    The champions, STAND-ALONE!
[12:07] Kite
    So this is the top of Babel, huh?
[12:10] Kite
    We'll take you to even
    greater heights. Come with us!
[13:50] Neon
    Wow!
[13:51] Kei
    They aren't half bad.
[13:53] Chrom
    As expected.
[13:58] Neon
    By the way, remember what Esola said before?
[14:02] (Flashback) Esola
    How about KNoCC for a Climb Name?
[14:06] (Flashback) Esola
    Because your performance is so exciting,
[14:08] (Flashback) Esola
    it feels like it's knocking
    on the viewers' hearts!
SIGN    Let's go.
[14:16] All four
    KNoCC, here to knock on your hearts!
[14:20] MC Denta
    All right, now for the challengers.
[14:23] MC Denta
    That unprecedented group
    of Android Climbers,
[14:28] MC Denta
    KNoCC!
SIGN    Crazy!
[14:40] Neon
    So pretty.
[14:41] Audience
    Did it just say "pretty"?
[14:43] Audience
    Does it understand?
SIGN    Um, well...
SIGN    Is it weird for Androids like us to talk like this?
SIGN    But that's honestly how we feel about this view, because we have hearts just like you.
[14:58] Audience
    Hearts?
[14:59] Audience
    In Androids?
[15:01] Neon
    They're inside, right here.
[15:03] Neon
    They flutter, sting, sparkle,
    and sometimes they shine.
[15:09] Chrom
    If we had merely acquired them, we
    probably wouldn't have felt anything.
[15:14] Kei
    But we feel emotions spring up
    within us just like you do.
SIGN    We learned that
SIGN    from all of the things we've experienced, and from all of the people we've met.
SIGN    And...
SIGN    Esola!
SIGN    It's our turn to send you a message. One straight from our hearts!
[17:09] Kiriya
    I should have just done this from the start.
[17:13] Kiriya
    Wh-Why?!
[17:15] Nobel
    It won't work.
[17:17] Nobel
    Sorry, but I took the liberty of
     enhancing the voting system's security.
[17:22] Kiriya
    Who are you?!
[17:23] Bora
    Kiriya Madarame.
[17:25] Bora
    You are under arrest for suspected
    involvement in the blast furnace incident.
[17:29] Takara
    You can tell us all about it at the station.
[17:36] Kiriya
    You think this will quiet down
     the exclusionist faction?
[17:40] Kiriya
    I'm not the one who sent the orders to shoot!
[17:44] Bora
    What?
[17:47] Bora
    Was it them?
[19:02] Esola
    Guys!
[19:04] Esola
    You know what? I think that's...
[19:09] Esola
    what love is.

    You're great!

    Wow!

    to make Neon call you "big brother."
[20:05] Neon
    Why don't you just give up?
[20:07] Chrom
    He cannot help it.
[20:08] Kei
    He won't start calling you
    something new at this point.
SIGN    But we're family, aren't we?
SIGN    C'mon, say it! Call me "big brother"!
[20:16] Neon
    No way.
[20:17] Esola
    Hey, guys. Can I have a minute?
[20:24] Esola
    To be honest, I don't think we
    should live together like this.
[20:31] Esola
    In exchange for recognizing your hearts,
[20:33] Esola
    the World Government has set fixed lifespans for you.
[20:37] Esola
    Do you know what that means?
[20:41] Esola
    Until now, you've been nearly immortal,
[20:44] Esola
    but now you only have
    a limited amount of time.
[20:48] Kei
    Yeah, I don't really get that,
[20:50] Kei
    but isn't it still better
    if we just stay with you, Esola?
SIGN    That's right! That's what we worked so hard for!
[20:56] Neon
    There's no reason for us to split up now.
[20:59] Chrom
    We're family, Esola.
[21:01] Esola
    It's because of that!
[21:04] Esola
    Because you are my dear family,
[21:07] Esola
    I can't keep you trapped here with me.
[21:11] Esola
    For once, I want you to be
    free and live your own lives.

    Guys, if there was nothing holding you back

    and you could choose any way
    you wanted to live,

    then what would you do?
[21:46] Esola
    That's what it means to be free.
[22:02] Nobel
    Don't worry. You'll see them again.
[22:08] Doctor
    Are you absolutely certain about this?
[22:10] Kite
    I don't matter. As long as it saves Nagi.
