[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.

    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.

[08:31] 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.

    Excuse us.

    You're Tu Fui-san, correct?

[10:06] Fui
    N-No...
[10:07] Fui
    Y-You're wrong.

    I-It's not me. It's her!

[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?!

    Why me?

    It was adopted to protect

    and deal with the societal issues
    posed by Humanoid AI reproductions.
[15:11] Sudo

[15:14] Sudo
    there are people who continue
    to make the same mistake.

    I've been to a lot of

[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.

    You don't have to worry about me.

    Because if you don't, it's fine.

    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.

    Wh-Where is this coming from?!
    Did you eat something strange?

    after what just happened.
