SIGN Ten years ago
[00:03] Sudo
Higuchi Risa.
[00:04] (Flashback) Sudo
Fifteen years old, Humanoid.
[00:11] (Flashback) Sudo
During a trip overseas,
[00:12] (Flashback) Sudo
she was on a recreational hot air balloon
with her mother when it crashed.
[00:16] (Flashback) Sudo
Her mother was beyond saving,
[00:19] (Flashback) Sudo
but her own neural net
was miraculously intact.
[00:24] Doctor Coworker
I suppose it's the only silver
lining to what happened.
SIGN This story is a work of "near-future" fiction.
Any resemblance to existing persons or organizations is entirely coincidental.
[00:27] Doctor Coworker
So, what did you do?
[00:29] (Flashback) Sudo
I reconstructed her body based
on what we could determine
[00:32] (Flashback) Sudo
from the remains of her old one.
[00:35] (Flashback) Sudo
Then I installed her undamaged
neural net into it, but...
[00:38] (Flashback) Doctor Coworker
What is it?
[00:41] (Flashback) Sudo
Her hair...
[00:43] (Flashback) Sudo
She says her hair is the wrong color.
[00:51] (Flashback) Sudo
Maybe her hair color was altered at an
early enough age that she never noticed.
SIGN Physical Therapy Room
[01:11] (Flashback) Risa
Mom and Dad divorced right after they made me.
[01:16] (Flashback) Risa
He was blond.
[01:19] (Flashback) Risa
I guess Mom had my hair changed to
look more like hers after the fact.
[01:25] (Flashback) Risa
I'm not thrilled to find out
about it this way.
[01:28] (Flashback) Sudo
I'm sorry. I should've checked more
carefully before the reconstruction.
[01:33] (Flashback) Risa
She was so selfish.
[01:35] (Flashback) Risa
She made me without asking,
[01:37] (Flashback) Risa
changed me without asking,
[01:40] (Flashback) Risa
then died without asking.
[01:42] (Flashback) Sudo
Higuchi-san...
[01:48] (Flashback) Risa
Mom!
SIGN Months later
[01:51] Sudo
Risa-chan, you dyed your hair.
[01:56] (Flashback) Sudo
It's red.
[01:58] (Flashback) Risa
Why do you care? I've already been released.
[02:04] (Flashback) Sudo
Am I bothering you?
[02:06] (Flashback) Risa
No, I'm grateful that you were nice enough
to handle all the paperwork and stuff...
[02:11] (Flashback) Risa
But you're an outsider
to all this, Doctor.
[02:14] (Flashback) Sudo
I dunno what it is.
[02:16] (Flashback) Sudo
I've been through similar trouble.
Maybe that's why I want to help.
[02:20] (Flashback) Sudo
I was raised by a single mother
before ending up on my own, too.
[02:26] (Flashback) Risa
Your mom passed away?
[02:28] (Flashback) Sudo
No. She's in prison.
[02:34] (Flashback) Sudo
We're in the same boat. We might
as well help each other out, right?
[04:10] Risa
Tomorrow? No, I'm not busy.
SIGN Tu Fui
SIGN Tu Fui
[04:13] Risa
Is there anything in particular
you want to eat, Breezy?
[04:16] Reon
Let's hit up our usual restaurant.
[04:19] Reon
Or maybe we could make hotpot at home?
[04:22] Reon
Then again, hotpot might be...
[04:24] Risa
Excuse me.
[04:26] Risa
Who are you?
[04:28] Reon
Hello? You still there?
[04:32] Risa
You say you're my sister, but...
[04:35] Risa
Humans could verify it with a DNA test,
[04:39] Risa
but I've got no way of confirming it.
[04:42] Fui
Do you remember your father?
[04:44] Risa
Well, I've seen his face in pictures.
[04:50] Risa
That's him.
[04:52] Fui
The girl next to him is me.
[04:54] Fui
He adopted me in India, and raised me.
[04:59] Risa
Did you come to Japan together?
[05:03] Risa
She told me our father died in
an accident six months ago.
[05:09] Risa
She came to Japan because
she has no other family.
[05:13] Fui
What's your mother up to?
[05:17] Risa
She passed away, too.
[05:20] Risa
Ten years ago.
[05:22] Fui
I-I see...
[05:24] Fui
I was hoping to meet her, but...
[05:29] Risa
H-Hey... I didn't get your name yet.
[05:31] Risa
Mine's Higuchi Risa.
[05:35] Fui
Tu Fui.
[05:36] Fui
You can call me Fui.
[05:47] Fui
Father mentioned you a lot, Risa.
[05:50] Risa
Wow, really?
[05:53] Fui
"You've got an older sister across the sea,
in a country called Japan," he'd say.
[06:01] Fui
When he passed away and I was on my own,
[06:05] Fui
I suddenly felt like I needed to meet you.
[06:08] Reon
Hang on!
[06:09] Reon
Isn't moving in together a little sudden?
[06:13] Reon
How'd she even know where to find you, Risa?
[06:16] Risa
Apparently the AI restrictions on
search aren't as strict in India.
[06:21] Risa
You can put together a lot just
from publicly available data.
[06:24] Risa
And, y'know, my face is on
the clinic's website and all...
[06:28] Reon
Have you considered looking into
her background a little more?
[06:32] Risa
We're both on our own,
so I want to help her out.
[06:35] Reon
Come on, Risa!
[06:38] Risa
I can just tell... she's a part of my family.
[06:43] Risa
We might not be related by blood,
[06:46] Risa
but we have the same father.
[06:50] Risa
She told me stories about
what our dad did in India.
[06:54] Risa
That he had a real wanderlust, and was selfish,
[06:57] Risa
and would always talk nonsense...
[06:59] Risa
The father Mom had always told me
about was living his life out in India.
[07:22] Fui
What was your mother like, Risa?
[07:26] Risa
She was really wishy-washy.
[07:29] Risa
She was timid and would never
say "no" to anyone...
[07:35] Risa
Except when she and Dad split up.
[07:37] Risa
Then she said she absolutely
refused to give up custody.
[07:46] Fui
I'm jealous.
[07:50] Fui
Father treated me like
his personal property.
[07:53] Fui
I never want to live like that again.
[07:56] Risa
Y-You must've been through a lot, Fui.
[07:59] Risa
But from now on, you can
choose your own way in life.
[08:05] Risa
It'll be okay, and I'll help.
[08:10] Fui
Thank you.
[08:13] Risa
I think we'll really get along.
[08:16] Risa
It's like we already know each other.
[08:19] Fui
Yeah.
[08:20] Risa
I think I might've been searching
for family ever since my mom died.

[08:29] Risa
You're gonna make dinner?
[08:31] Risa
That's great! I'll be right home. See you.
[08:35] Sudo
If she's going to be staying in Japan,
there'll be paperwork to take care of, right?
[08:40] Risa
I mentioned it to her, but...
[08:44] (Flashback) Fui
G-Good point.
[08:46] (Flashback) Fui
I-I'll take care of it soon, so don't worry.
[08:49] Risa
I mean, if she needs help,
she really could just ask me...
[09:30] Risa
Nicely done!
[09:34] Fui
I haven't caught a dragonfly in ages.
[09:37] Risa
Mom would catch them for me all
the time when I was little.
[09:44] Risa
Fui? What's wrong?
[09:48] Fui
Then it's true. I knew it.
[09:51] Risa
Knew what?

Excuse us.
[09:56] Cop A
You're Tu Fui-san, correct?
[10:01] Cop B
That seems to be the case.
[10:03] Risa
Uh... Fui, who are they?
[10:06] Fui
N-No...
[10:07] Fui
Y-You're wrong.
[10:08] Risa
Fui? What are you—
[10:10] Fui
I-It's not me. It's her!
[10:13] Risa
What? Fui...
[10:15] Risa
What's going on?
[10:16] Cop B
Don't be ridiculous.
[10:18] Fui
I-It's the truth!
[10:19] Risa
F-Fui? Calm down.
[10:21] Risa
Excuse me. What's going on here?

I'm Risa!

[10:57] Sudo
Risa, do you know what a brainprint is?
[11:01] Sudo
It's an individually unique signal that can
be taken from each Humanoid's neural net.
[11:06] Sudo
It changes with age, but not significantly.
[11:10] Sudo
And comparing your brainprints,
Tu Fui is less like your sister,
[11:15] Sudo
and more like you yourself.
[11:17] Risa
She's... me?
[11:21] Sudo
Yeah.
[11:22] Sudo
Tu Fui's neural net
[11:24] Sudo
is a copy of yours.
[11:31] Fui
I keep having the same dream.
[11:39] Fui
I'm in a place I've never seen
before, with your mother,
[11:44] Fui
catching dragonflies.
[11:48] Fui
It's a very happy place.
[11:53] Fui
But then...
[11:55] Fui
I wake up, and the nightmare begins.
[12:01] Fui
And after I'm awake, I wonder...
[12:04] Fui
In which place do I really belong?
[12:12] Fui
"I'm in a place I don't belong."
[12:16] Fui
I couldn't explain why, but
I could never shake that feeling.
[12:20] Fui
And six months ago, I got an answer...
[12:31] (Flashback) Fui
Not here.
[12:33] (Flashback) Fui
This isn't where I belong.
[12:44] (Flashback) Fui Dad
Fui.
[12:46] (Flashback) Fui Dad
Wanna know something funny?
[12:56] (Flashback) Fui Dad
She's cute, isn't she? My Risa...
[13:00] (Flashback) Fui Dad
I just couldn't bear parting with her.
[13:03] (Flashback) Fui
If you care so much about Risa, why—
[13:06] (Flashback) Fui Dad
Exactly.
[13:08] (Flashback) Fui Dad
So I copied her neural net.
[13:13] (Flashback) Fui Dad
Once I got here, I found a random
body and created a substitute Risa.
[13:20] (Flashback) Fui Dad
And that's you, Fui.
[13:29] Fui
My father didn't die in an accident.
[13:32] Fui
I killed him.
[13:36] Risa
Is the reason you came looking for me
[13:39] Risa
because you wanted to kill and replace me?
[13:42] Fui
Yes.
[13:44] Fui
But I couldn't do it.
[13:47] Fui
Because you didn't do anything wrong.
[13:51] Fui
Because you're me.
[13:56] Risa
Fui...

Fui...
[14:07] Risa
I'm sorry. I have to go.
[14:11] Fui
Why is it like this?
[14:16] Fui
Why am I in the wrong?
[14:18] Fui
We're the same.
[14:22] Fui
The difference isn't me, but
how the world treated me.
[14:27] Fui
So why...
[14:28] Fui
Why am I being punished?
[14:31] Fui
Why?!
[14:33] Fui
Why me?

I'm sorry if I'm prying.
[16:53] Sudo
Not yet, no.
[16:58] Sudo
Where to begin...
[17:01] Sudo
I've been to a lot of
different countries, after all.
[17:05] Sudo
The first was... I think...
[17:20] Sudo
But in the end, I never
found a single lead.
[17:26] Risa
If...
[17:28] Risa
If you do find her, what will you do?
[17:33] Sudo
I'll think of that after I find her.
[17:35] Sudo
I want to do whatever is best
for that version of Mom.
[17:42] Risa
You've never talked this much
about your search for her before.
[17:51] Sudo
Eat up. It's good.

Okay.

You're right! It really is delicious.

[18:12] Kaoru
Sorry to call you out here like this.
[18:15] Sudo
What do you need?
[18:16] Kaoru
As you can probably guess, it's
about Michi's major update,
[18:19] Kaoru
and the lineup for the review.
[18:21] Sudo
I already said no.
[18:22] Kaoru
So chilly.
[18:24] Kaoru
That assistant of yours... Risa, I think?
You're so much nicer to her.
[18:31] Sudo
Why is Michi fixated on me?
[18:33] Kaoru
I dunno.
[18:35] Kaoru
But the number of people who could understand
[18:38] Kaoru
the kind of major upgrades
Michi's proposing...
[18:40] Kaoru
There's probably only a
handful in the entire world.
[18:42] Sudo
Are you joking? There's no way a
normal person could understand.
[18:49] Kaoru
Sudo-kun, do you seriously still
believe that you're a normal person?
[18:56] Sudo
What will Michi do if I don't
participate in the review?
[19:02] Kaoru
Hard to say.
[19:04] Kaoru
I don't exactly understand
the way Michi thinks.
[19:08] Kaoru
Maybe it'll end up suspending
society's progress,
[19:12] Kaoru
or maybe having someone else do it
won't change the outcome at all.
[19:17] Kaoru
But...
[19:19] Kaoru
I will say that I think his offer
for you might be pretty significant.
[19:26] Sudo
What offer?
[19:27] Kaoru
Michi wants to make a deal.
[19:30] Kaoru
If you join the review committee,
[19:32] Kaoru
then he'll predict where the copy
with your mother's personality is.
[19:38] Kaoru
So, what do you say? Care to meet Michi?
[19:48] Risa
Welcome back.
[19:49] Sudo
You're still here?
You could've gone home by now.
[19:53] Risa
I had some charts that
I needed to take care of.
[19:56] Risa
I'm almost done.

I'm okay now.

You don't have to worry about me.
[20:08] Sudo
You don't want to?

Because if you don't, it's fine.
[20:11] Risa
I-I-I didn't say no!

There's something I need
to talk to you about.

Sorry about the wait.

You don't have any dietary
restrictions, right?
[20:49] Sudo
Maybe try the chef's special?
[20:51] Risa
S-Sure.
[21:03] Risa
All this formality is kind of nerve-wracking...
[21:07] Sudo
When we first met,
[21:10] Sudo
you were a patient, and I was your doctor.
[21:15] Sudo
Eventually you became a nurse
and came to work for me.
[21:19] Sudo
Thinking back on it now, you've been
helping me for a long time,
[21:23] Sudo
and I've never really
expressed my gratitude.
[21:26] Risa
Wh-Where is this coming from?!
Did you eat something strange?
[21:32] Sudo
I haven't eaten at all yet.
