SIGN    Mineral Ores
[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    Chrom
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?
[14:45] Chrom
    Maybe here...

SIGN    Sayings About Animals
SIGN    Kazusa Kotoda, ed.
[15:21] Chrom
    What's this?
[15:23] Chrom
    Oh, it's something different.
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.
SIGN    Sayings About Animals
[15:31] Nobel
    Excuse me.
SIGN    Animal Behavior
[15:34] Nobel
    It seemed as though you were looking
     for books on cats— er, I mean, animals.
[15:40] Chrom
    What's this?
[15:41] Nobel
    It's a slightly older volume that
    was written by an animal scholar.
[15:47] Nobel
    I thought it might be useful to you.
SIGN    Animal Behavior
SIGN    What We Will Find at Their Final Destination
[15:50] Chrom
    Animal Behavior?
SIGN    Preface
    
    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.
    The time you have left to spend together...
[15:53] Chrom
    An academic field that studies
    the behaviors of living things.
[16:04] Nobel
    You need to understand
[16:07] Nobel
    if what you're searching for
    is an answer, or perhaps...
[16:13] Chrom
    "For our beloved animals who are weak
    and nearing the ends of their lives,
[16:18] Chrom
    there are few things we can do, other than
    provide the best care we can and wait.
[16:26] Chrom
    But we still may wonder,
    'Is there really nothing we can do?'"
SIGN    Is there really nothing we can do?
SIGN    Animal Behavior
    What We Will Find at Their Final Destination
[16:32] Chrom
    "In this book, I would like
    to address that question.
[16:35] Chrom
    What we can do for them is this..."
[16:48] Esola
    Chrom...
SIGN    Animal Behavior
    What We Will Find at Their Final Destination
[16:55] Chrom
    Esola.
[16:58] Chrom
    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.

    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.
