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!
