    It's morning?
[00:15] Berry
    Not here?
[00:16] Hack
    Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa! Zeta! Yotta...
[00:23] Hack
    Nerdy-birdy!
[00:27] Hack
    You like to oversleep, huh?
[00:34] Berry
    Good morning, diary.
[00:37] Berry
    The weather around here
    is great again today.

[02:20] Finn
    It's come together nicely.
[02:25] Hack
    It's gobblin' time!
[02:27] Hank
    Ah, food.
[02:28] Finn
    It's gapao rice today.
[02:30] Berry
    Smells great!
[02:32] Hank
    Ew, cilantro. Always smells
    like bombardier beetles to me.
[02:35] Finn
    Don't like it? Don't eat it.
[02:38] Hack
    Gobble, gobble, gobble!
[02:39] Berry
    Everything you make is great, Finn!
[02:42] Hank
    Well, around these parts,
[02:45] Hank
    you can't tweak how it looks with your
     Deco, nor how it tastes with Flavor.
[02:51] Berry
    You can taste the realness!
[02:53] Hack
    Gobble, gobble, gobble!
[02:54] Berry
    Wow, it's Love-y!
[02:56] Hank
    This right here, though? I'd delete it.
[03:00] Berry
    Thanks for the food!
[03:03] Hank
    That was a hell of a meal.
[03:11] Finn
    No.
[03:13] Finn
    No.
[03:14] Finn
    No.
[03:15] Hank
    Found anything promising job-wise?
[03:17] Hank
    "Searching for lost property..."
[03:19] Hank
    Temp work?
[03:20] Berry
    What about this?
[03:21] Berry
    They're recruiting members for
     a flash mob in the Hyperverse!
[03:24] Berry
    Sounds like fun!
[03:26] Hack
    Nope. Couldn't be more not interested.
[03:29] Finn
    How many times do I have to tell you? We...
[03:31] Berry
    "...don't do odd-jobs."
[03:33] Berry
    Still, doing that kind of
    surprise sounds like fun to me.
[03:37] Hank
    Not to mention, we've been
     open for four months now.
[03:39] Hank
    Ya think we can still afford to be picky?
[03:42] Finn
    We're a detective club, don't forget.
[03:45] Hank
    Yeah, yeah, I know. You're
    hung up on being "pro" sleuths.

[03:55] Berry
    And if you're curious about when
    my life started looking like this...
[03:58] Berry
    It was four months ago.
[04:01] Berry
    A Zero Phenomenon occurred
    at 2538.39 on the Timeline.
[04:07] Berry
    And after the court case,
    I became a Yurei, just like Hack.
[04:15] Berry
    What do we do, Finn?!
[04:16] Finn
    Now! Jump into the terminal!
[04:30] Berry
    Yup, back then, Finn fabricated data to make
    it look like Hack and I died in an explosion,
[04:35] Berry
    and overwrote the records.
[04:37] Berry
    That's how we got away
    from the Customer Center.
[04:42] Berry
    With my personal record gone,
    I couldn't use my Deco anymore.
[04:46] Berry
    All the data and Love I'd got
    in the Hyperverse was gone, too.
[04:51] Berry
    The Deco in my right eye is still broken,
[04:54] Berry
    but Finn hacked the one in
    my left eye so I can still use it.
[04:59] Berry
    I'm now invisible, just like Hack.
[05:02] Berry
    I'm a Yurei!
[05:05] Finn
    The jobs we take as a detective
    club are merely a means to an end.
[05:09] Finn
    Our real objective is the Zero Phenomenon.
[05:12] Finn
    We will solve that mystery!
[05:14] Hack
    That'd be glitchy-witchy.
[05:15] Berry
    That person we saw in the
    Hyperverse was Phantom Zero,
[05:18] Berry
    the one responsible for
     this phenomenon, right?
[05:21] Finn
    It's possible they're to blame,
    but right now, that's just a theory.
[05:24] Finn
    The exact relationship between this
    "phantom" and the Zero Phenomenon...
[05:29] Finn
    That's where we start digging.
[05:30] Berry
    One more mystery to figure out, huh?
[05:35] Hank
    The ground zero data makes it look
    like it could be a natural occurrence.
[05:39] Finn
    True enough.
[05:41] Finn
    But the fact of the matter is Phantom
    Zero has been used as an urban legend
[05:45] Finn
    to cover up certain
    inconvenient truths in the city.
[05:48] Red Stamp signs
    DECEASED
[05:48] Red Stamp signs

[05:49] Madam 44
    And according to the
    data of a friend of mine,

    DECEASED
[05:51] Red Stamp signs

[05:51] Red Stamp signs

[05:53] Madam 44
    everything was all cleaned up
    while we weren't looking.
[05:56] Hank
    Damn. So they're acting
    like you two did it now?
[06:01] Finn
    One thing has become apparent.
[06:03] Finn
    Looking at what data has been falsified and
     deleted to cover up the Zero Phenomenon
[06:07] Finn
    will be the key to figuring out the facts.
[06:10] Finn
    Plus, it's the only way to prove
    that Hack and Berry are innocent.
[06:15] Hack
    Understood!
[06:16] Berry
    Finn!
[06:22] Berry
    And so, diary, Finn made contact
    with other Yurei like him
[06:27] Berry
    and opened up a detective
    agency on the edge of town.
[06:27] Sign
    Detectives
[06:27] Sign
    down here
[06:30] Berry
    Since Decos and Love
    aren't much use out here,
[06:34] Berry
    everyone has to actually
    make stuff from scratch.
[06:36] Berry
    But being able to actually
    touch everything is so weird...
[06:41] Berry
    And Love-y!
[06:50] Berry
    I might be homeless, Love-less,
    and declared dead...
[06:55] Berry
    But I'm still here.
[07:02] Hank
    Come on in.
[07:04] Mitsumame
    Uh... well...
[07:15] Mitsumame
    I'm sorry!
[07:18] Mitsumame
    Um, I'm looking for Finn...
[07:20] Hank
    Finn?
[07:23] Mitsumame
    This is a detective agency, right?
[07:28] Mitsumame
    So that's my story...
[07:30] SIGN
    Missing
[07:31] Berry
    Your daughter is missing?
[07:38] Mitsumame
    Right. I only took my
    eyes off her for a second...
[07:42] Finn
    Mr. Mitsumame, the Customer Center
    is better suited to this sort of thing.
[07:45] Mitsumame
    Please don't say that! I'm begging you!
[07:48] Hack
    This dude's a liar! He's lyin' like crazy!
[07:50] Berry
    What do you mean?
[07:53] Hack
    Check it. I diggity-dug up
     some big picture data.
[07:56] SIGN
    Mitsu-
     mame
[07:59] Mitsumame
    Th-That's my personal information!
[08:02] Hank
    Hey, man! This says you're not married,
    and you sure as hell ain't got a daughter!
[08:06] Hank
    Not even a girlfriend, baby!
[08:09] Finn
    Care to explain?
[08:11] Mitsumame
    I'm sorry. But I...
[08:17] Berry
    This missing daughter of yours...
    This is actually your avatar, isn't it?
[08:22] Mitsumame
    Yeah.
[08:22] Hack
    For real, nerdy-birdy?
[08:24] Berry
    When you call her your "daughter,"
[08:25] Berry
    you mean you care about her as if
     she was. That's how it is, isn't it?
[08:30] Mitsumame
    I'm begging you! I'll pay you all the
    Love I've saved to get her back!
[08:35] Smiley
    All your Love?!
[08:37] Hack
    I. Love. Ai.
[08:39] Madam
    And just how much Love are we talking here?

[08:51] Hack
    As low as it goes!
[08:52] Mitsumame
    Huh? That's odd.
[08:54] Mitsumame
    Where'd all my Love go?
[08:57] Hack
    More like you're just lyin' some more.
[09:00] Berry
    Could this be...
[09:03] Smiley
    No Love, no point.
[09:05] Mitsumame
    Please!
[09:06] Mitsumame
    You Yurei are the only ones I can turn to!
[09:09] Finn
    Naturally. Given that it's an avatar,
    the Customer Center likely wouldn't care.
[09:15] Mitsumame
    But she's the only one for me.
    Without her, I've been like the walking dead.
[09:20] Berry
    When exactly did she go missing?
[09:24] Mitsumame
    At 2538.39 on the Timeline.
[09:27] Hack
    Glitchy-witchy...
[09:31] Finn
    It's just a coincidence.
    I wouldn't read anything into it.
[09:37] Berry
    I see. It was near the scene, too.
[09:40] Mitsumame
    The scene of what?! Did something happen?
[09:43] Berry
    I understand, Mr. Mitsumame!
[09:45] Finn
    Berry!
[09:47] Berry
    We'll look into it for you.
[09:48] Mitsumame
    Th-Thank you so much!
    She really means the world to me!
[10:00] Berry
    Well, diary, Finn said "Suit yourself"
    to me, and Hack's napping.
[10:02] Berry
    The client this time
     is Mr. Mitsumame!!!
[10:02] Berry
    He wants us
    to find his
    avatar
    o.o!!
    That was
    a shock
[10:02] Berry
    Mr. Mitsumame cares about
    the avatar like she's his own
    daughter, so I want to help
    him if I can. Finn and the
    others said to let it go...
[10:02] Berry
    On the Timeline!!
[10:02] Berry
    He was willing to
     spend all his Love to get
    her back. Must be sad
    losing something you
    really care about.
[10:02] Berry
    Is this a coincidence???
    That's the same time
    Hack and I were
    attacked IRL
[10:02] Berry
    It looks like the location
     Mitsumame's avatar
    went missing was near
    the incident from
    that night.
[10:02] Berry
    Here
[10:02] Berry
    Finn says it's a coincidence...
    Even if he's right, it's still weird.
[10:02] Berry
    How do I find this avatar?
    Hack and Finn aren't gonna help... ^_^;;
    For now, I'll head to the scene of
    the disappearance. I might find
     some leads there.
[10:05] Berry
    But going by the Timeline...
[10:08] Berry
    It was the same time Hack and
    I got hit by the Zero Phenomenon.
[10:11] Berry
    Plus, it happened near the area where
    Mr. Mitsumame's avatar went missing.
[10:16] Berry
    Even if it's a coincidence, I'm curious.
[10:20] Berry
    Okay!
[10:25] Berry
    Perfect!
[10:34] Berry
    I'm counting on you!
[10:42] Hank
    Whoa, hold up. Try using this.
[10:45] Berry
    What kind of robot is it?
[10:47] Hank
    Doggo the Robo-Dog.
[10:48] Hank
    I built him to sniff out and track down data.
[10:52] Berry
    That's Love-y!
[10:53] Berry
    I'll see how he does. Thanks!
[10:55] Hank
    Well, it's still early days for him,
    so I dunno how much help he'll be.
[11:00] Hank
    Hey, Berry?
[11:07] Lady A
    How'd it go with that guy?
[11:09] Lady B
    Really good!
[11:10] Berry
    Rule #1 of being a detective:
[11:12] Berry
    Check the scene thoroughly.
    That's where the case begins.
[11:15] Berry
    If there are clues, they'll be there.
[11:17] Berry
    And according to Mr. Mitsumame,
    this is where the avatar went missing.
[11:25] Berry
    How's that?
[11:35] Berry
    What is it?
[11:40] Berry
    Aw, this is just my device.
[11:45] Berry
    Did the cleaners push it here?
[11:52] Berry
    Guess I'll go check the
    Public Information Office.
[11:58] Logi
    I'm telling you, he showed up again.
    On 9th Street in District 19 this time.
[12:02] Harper
    Phantom Zero? Probably
     a load of hooey again.
[12:07] Berry
    Hey, Logi!
[12:10] Berry
    Hm?
[12:11] Berry
    Huh?
[12:15] Berry
    Hey, Harper!
[12:16] Harper
    What was that?
[12:17] Logi
    Something wrong?
[12:19] Berry
    Oh, right. They can't see me
    because of the Deco camouflage.
[12:23] Harper
    I got the feeling someone
     was calling out to me...
[12:26] Logi
    What are you on about?
[12:27] Logi
    Well, whatever. I say we
    go looking for residual data!
[12:30] Harper
    Can't. I gotta go to the dentist.
[12:33] Logi
    Bet you do, with all
    that sugary stuff you eat.
[12:35] Harper
    Give it a rest. Anyway,
    you can go with someone else.
[12:38] Harper
    Someone'll be in the response team
    office. Hm, probably not Berry, but...
[12:43] Berry
    I'm right here.
[12:44] Logi
    Come to think of it, where did she get to?
[12:48] Harper
    She just stopped coming to school.
    Wonder what happened to her.
[12:53] Logi
    Well, it's not like her attendance
     was all that great before.
[12:57] Harper
    Tell me about it! And she'd make up
     stuff like seeing Phantom Zero.
[13:00] Berry
    I didn't make it up! I really did!
[13:07] Berry
    Fine!
[13:08] Harper
    Huh? Was that Berry's voice?
[13:10] Logi
    I thought so, too.
[13:11] Harper
    Ah! Jeez, Logi, don't eat my stuff!
[13:14] Logi
    Huh? C'mon, you know me better than that.
    You just ate it faster than you thought.
[13:19] Harper
    Uh, guess I must have.
[13:21] Harper
    Huh.
[13:25] Berry
    You're right. Let's go.
[13:34] Berry
    Okay!
[13:39] Berry
    Perfect!
[13:45] Berry
    You wait here.
[13:51] Berry
    Rule #2 of being a detective:
[13:54] Berry
    Always be skeptical about information.
[13:56] Berry
    Sometimes, the data you can see will
    give you hints about what's missing.

[14:12] Berry
    Nothing shows up when
    tracing back his login data.
[14:17] Berry
    That's why Mr. Mitsumame never
    even noticed his Love had gone missing.
[14:22] Berry
    The Customer Center has systems in place
    that make people forget anything sad.
[14:28] Berry
    But they couldn't erase the fact that
    he had an avatar he cares deeply about.
[14:34] Berry
    I think that's amazing.
[14:39] Berry
    Hack's personal data.
[14:41] Berry
    I looked it up so I'd have some ammunition
    next time Hack makes fun of me...
[14:47] Berry
    But when you've always been a Yurei,
    it's only natural there'd be nothing of note.
[14:52] Berry
    I found this on me, though.
[14:54] SIGN
    DECEASED

    DECEASED
[14:54] Berry
    I'm marked as "deceased."
[14:56] Berry
    Sooner or later, Logi and
    Harper will forget all about me.
[15:00] Berry
    I really am a Yurei now.
[15:03] Case Sign
    Registrars
[15:03] Berry
    Wait, Mom and Dad were
    the ones who wrote this up?
[15:12] Berry
    You shouldn't be in here!
[15:15] Berry
    Aw, shoot!
[15:16] Berry
    Jeez.
[15:33] Finn
    Is your interest in this case personal?
[15:37] Finn
    Maybe a client treating a lost avatar like
     a missing child struck a chord with you.
[15:45] Berry
    It's not like that!
[15:47] Finn
    Once something's been struck from the
     record, it'll fade from memory over time.
[15:52] Finn
    As if it never existed.
[15:55] Berry
    Is it right for everything to
    be reduced to zero like that?
[15:59] Finn
    I couldn't say.
[16:00] Berry
    It bugs me...
[16:02] Finn
    You can leave if you're feeling homesick.
[16:06] Berry
    Look, it just bugs me, okay?!
[16:09] Berry
    I know lots of stuff now that I could
    never even see when I lived in the city.
[16:13] Berry
    Some of it bad, some of it scary,
    and not all of it stuff I needed to know...
[16:18] Berry
    But the fact nobody ever has a
    chance of knowing is what bugs me.
[16:21] Berry
    So I want to know.
[16:25] Finn
    Right. And that's what we're here for.
[16:29] Berry
    Yeah.
[16:38] Berry
    Jeez!
[16:49] Berry
    Maybe there's still some trace
    at Mom and Dad's workplace.
[16:55] Berry
    Rule #3 of being a detective...
[17:00] Berry
    Let's check it out.
[17:12] Berry
    Never thought I'd come back
    here for something like this.
[17:24] Berry
    Okay, I'm in.
[17:31] Berry
    If I check Mom and Dad's
    activity on the Timeline...
[17:35] Berry
    No data. Figures.
[17:37] Berry
    Ah, but I can still check their tag history.
[17:41] Berry
    Here we go!
[17:42] Berry
    Lessee... Is there anything in the data on
     the Zero Phenomenon that was covered up
[17:46] Berry
    that matches the avatar's file size?
[17:49] Berry
    Nothing.
[17:51] Berry
    Maybe it wasn't covered up, just discarded?
[17:56] Berry
    There it is!
[18:02] Berry
    Oh, crap.
[18:11] Berry
    Dad...
[18:18] Mom
    Hey. What's wrong?
[18:20] Dad
    What about you? It's late.
[18:22] Mom
    I'm having trouble sleeping...
[18:25] Mom
    So I figured I might as well fill my quota.
[18:28] Dad
    I see. I guess I woke you.
[18:30] Mom
    It's not that...
[18:31] Dad
    I see.
[18:33] Mom
    On nights like this, I keep
    thinking she's come home.
[18:38] Dad
    We've been over this...
[18:40] Mom
    But...
[18:41] Mom
    I told her if something was really important,
     deleting it wouldn't make it go away.
[18:47] Mom
    But now, she's... really gone...
[18:52] Mom
    I still can't believe...
    she died in an accident...
[18:57] Dad
    I know. But we've done everything we can.
[19:00] Mom
    There might still be something.
[19:03] Mom
    I think she's just missing...
[19:06] Dad
    But we even got permission to
    check the secret backup data
[19:11] Dad
    the Customer Center collects.
     We begged them for it.
[19:14] Mom
    Yeah, you're right. And we
    didn't find anything. Even so...
[19:17] Berry
    The Customer Center collects
    the city's backup data?
[19:21] Dad
    Well, if we can't sleep anyway...
[19:23] Mom
    Let's keep looking.
[19:33] Berry
    I had no idea they could do stuff
    like that. I'd better show the others.
[19:40] Mom
    Wait!
[19:42] Mom
    Doesn't that look a bit like Berry?
[19:44] Mom
    That was recorded yesterday.
    You're imagining it.
[19:47] Mom
    Yeah. Maybe I'm just tired...
[19:56] Berry
    I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, but I can't just yet.
[20:03] Hank
    How's that?
[20:09] Mitsumame
    I'm back! This is awesome!
[20:12] Mitsumame
    Oh-Em-Gee! I'm, like, so grateful!
[20:14] Mitsumame
    I'm over the moon!
[20:17] Hank
    Save your thanks for the kid.
[20:19] Berry
    I'm happy for you. Turns out,
    it was disposed of by mistake.
[20:22] Mitsumame
    I didn't know what to expect,
    but I am so glad I came!
[20:25] Mitsumame
    And now I feel fantastic, Miss Detective!
[20:27] Mitsumame
    Thanks so much!
[20:37] Hank
    You look like someone popped your tires.
[20:39] Berry
    Finn was right. The avatar going missing
    wasn't caused by the Zero Phenomenon.
[20:45] Hack
    Feelin' like bailing?
[20:48] Berry
    Don't be stupid. We still haven't figured
     out what glitchy-witchy's deal is.
[20:52] Hack
    True that.
[20:54] Berry
    Oh! But I did see this weird system...
[20:58] Hank
    At a content moderator's workstation?
[21:00] Berry
    Yeah.
[21:01] Berry
    I managed to catch a glimpse of Mom and
    Dad doing a search at the Customer Center.
[21:05] Hank
    Nice work.
[21:06] Berry
    And they can apparently search the
    Timeline for a backup of the entire city.
[21:10] Hank
    For real?
[21:11] Hank
    Where would they store that kind of data?
[21:15] Madam
    I've never heard of a
    Timeline backup like that.
[21:20] Berry
    Here's the footage I captured.
[21:21] Finn
    Let me see that.
[21:23] Hank
    You hit the jackpot!
[21:25] Madam
    She's really onto something
    with this data, isn't she, Finn?
[21:30] Finn
    She is. Not bad.
[21:32] Berry
    Really?!
[21:37] Berry
    Well, diary...
[21:38] Berry
    There were a few twists and turns, but I'm
    ready to solve this Zero Phenomenon mystery
[21:42] Berry
    so I can be reunited with the
    people who haven't forgotten me.
[21:46] Berry
    I'll solve it at this detective agency
    with all my weirdo friends!
[21:50] Berry
    And the weather around
    here is great yet again!
[22:02] Hack
    Easy there...
[22:08] Berry
    What is that?
