***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?
**[09:54] Cop A**
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?
**[10:24] Fui**
Th-This girl is trying to steal my life!
**[10:28] Risa**
Fui?
**[10:30] Fui**
I'm Risa!
**[10:31] Fui**
You can tell from my brainprint!
**[10:33] Fui**
Please, you have to believe me!
**[10:35] Fui**
I swear, it's the truth!

Doctor?
***SIGN*** In Use
**[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...
**[13:58] Police Robot**
Your time is up.
**[14:01] Risa**
B-But I'm not—
**[14:02] Police Robot**
Regulations, miss.
**[14:06] Risa**
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?
**[14:54] Sudo**
Risa.

**[15:19] Sudo Mom (Young)**
Don't these kinds of treatments cost a lot?
**[15:21] (Flashback) Con Artist B**
We might be able to help you with that.
**[15:25] (Flashback) Con Artist B**
Our firm is actually looking
for Humanoid participants
**[15:28] (Flashback) Con Artist B**
for neural net clinical trials.

**[15:37] (Flashback) Sudo Mom (Young)**
What?
**[15:38] (Flashback) Con Artist C**
That's right. You won't have to
worry about the money.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Con Artist C**
This is a chance to heal Hikaru-kun.
**[15:47] (Flashback) Con Artist C**
You can't just give up.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Con Artist C**
Modern medicine can probably
even fix the root cause.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Con Artist A**
That said...
**[15:59] (Flashback) Con Artist A**
We'd need to confirm if your neural
net is a fit for this study, Sudo-san.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Sudo Mom (Young)**
What exactly would that entail?
**[16:10] (Flashback) Con Artist A**
We'd like to make a copy of your neural net.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Sudo Mom (Young)**
A copy?

**[16:43] Risa**
Have you ever
**[16:45] Risa**
found your other mom?
**[16:49] Risa**
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.
**[17:53] Risa**
Okay.
**[17:59] Risa**
You're right! It really is delicious.
**[18:07] Sudo**
Kaoru.
**[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.
**[19:59] Sudo**
You wanna grab dinner, then?
**[20:02] Risa**
I'm okay now.
**[20:05] Risa**
You don't have to worry about me.
**[20:08] Sudo**
You don't want to?
**[20:09] Sudo**
Because if you don't, it's fine.
**[20:11] Risa**
I-I-I didn't say no!
**[20:15] Sudo**
There's something I need
to talk to you about.
**[20:30] Risa**
Um...
**[20:32] Risa**
Sorry about the wait.
**[20:35] Sudo**
Sure. Let's go.
**[20:41] Risa**
This place seems expensive.
**[20:44] Sudo**
It's my treat, so pick whatever you like.
**[20:46] Sudo**
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.
**[21:35] Risa**
Oh, that's true.
**[21:42] Risa**
You're leaving Japan? But why?
**[21:50] Risa**
This is so sudden...
**[21:52] Sudo**
I've found my mother.
**[22:01] Risa**
I can go with you—
**[22:02] Sudo**
No.
**[22:04] Sudo**
I'm sorry to leave you alone
after what just happened.
**[22:09] Sudo**
But I need to find my mother.
**[22:15] Sudo**
Risa. Thank you for everything.
**[22:20] Sudo**
This is goodbye.
