Good, all done!
Hey, that's cold!
Eh?
It looks like you've got a bit used to your job here.
Thanks for the compliment.
It's not meant to be a compliment.
Don't get too full of yourself!
Puppies!
Wow, Dogloan.
They're so fluffy!
You fellas want to get washed, too?
Damn airhead...
Make sure to finish the job!
Oh, I was planning on meeting Rikiga-san in the afternoon-
Once you're finished, you can leave as you please.
Okay!

ふわり夜をかぞえてる
I've been carefully keeping track of the nights,

it's a secret spell we keep between the two of us.

Gather up all of your thoughts that are on the verge of breaking,

and chant them out loud.

Watch carefully, anxiety lies amidst the pain,

ほら 静かに灯る息吹
watch carefully, as our breaths softly change to flame.
#07 「True Lies, Fabricated Truths」
Mind treating me to lunch?
I'm really hungry.
You're so funny. I don't have anything suitable for a famous actor.
Anyway, what are you here for? Come to pick up Shion?
I have a job for you.
A job?
That's just a deposit. When you finish the job, I'll give you another.
Quite the fancy item you have here...
...but I refuse.
You're turning down a job that pays two gold coins?
Any job you would bring me that's worth two gold...
...can't be any better than sticking my hand in a nest of poisonous snakes.
You won't profit by avoiding danger.
There are various factors. I would have taken it happily had it not been offered by you.
I feel like I'm really missing out.
Understood. Let's never deal with each other again, then.
I'll never bring another job your way.
No matter how hard things get, don't bother calling.
W-Wait a second, Rat!
What do you mean by, "No matter how hard things get?"
You're afraid of dying.
I'll never be put into a grave...
I'll keep on living!
But you also know that you can't escape it.
Isn't that right, Dogloan?
Even if you find yourself in pain, on the verge of death...
...it will have nothing to do with me. If you call, I won't come.
I won't sing a song for you.
W-What are you saying?
For me to be in pain and dying-
No matter how much you suffer, I won't get involved.
That's fine with you, right?
Information on the correctional facility?
I'll take even the most trivial details.
Just what are you thinking?
There's no way to get information on a place like that.
There are janitors who smuggle out goods, aren't there?
They're all underlings, so management shouldn't pay them much mind.
Sniff out who they are.
What is that?
A diagram of the correctional facility.
Huh?
I'd like you to fill in the latest info on the inner areas.
What I'm most interested in is information on the security system.
I'll need money to extract information from them.
Two gold just isn't enough.
This is all I have for now.
Help me out.
Please.
If you help me with this, when unbearable pain comes to strike you,
I'll come flying to your aid.
And no matter where you are, I'll send your soul off with a song.
I promise you.
I'll do it.
I appreciate it.
Shion has nothing to do with this, right?
Why would you bring him up? He has nothing to do with it.
Then I can talk to Shion about thi-
There's no reason to involve him unnecessarily.
Emotion even finds its way out of people like you.
That airhead boy is really that important to you?
Shut your impudent mouth and get to work.
Got it?
What?
It's as I said...
...I have no record of any SSC-000124GJ, Safu-san.
No record... but that can't be...
I'll serve the next person over here.
I saw a really pretty flower over here!
Whoa, really?!
Yeah, let's go!
I'm terribly sorry. May I sit next to you?
Y-Yes, please do.
The weather is so nice.
Yes.
I apologise for speaking to you so suddenly.
I saw you making such a grim face and just couldn't leave you be.
Ah, that's why you went out of your way to speak to me?
Yes, why on Earth were you making such a face?
Thank you for your concern.
There's just something that's worrying me.
I see. As humans live, they can't help but worry.
But, getting to live in a city as wonderful as this,
my troubles have simply flown away.
Ah...
I'm always telling my grandchildren,
"Be grateful that you were born here!"
This place is truly a utopia.
It's all a lie, isn't it?
I wonder...
Huh?
I wonder if No. 6 really is a-
Karan!
So you were here.
Youmin-san!
Sorry I'm late.
Come along now. I left the car running.
Um...
Play along.
The streets were so crowded...
Ah, is that so?
I'm really sorry.
What was that all about?
That was close...
That old lady... was most likely one of the authorities.
If she were to consider you an element of unrest,
you would be sent straight to the correctional facility.
One of the authorities...
...and just what is an "element of unrest"?
You harboured doubt of the administration,
and were searching for information about a girl named Safu, right?
Well, yes...
But that's a bit of an inconvenience for No. 6.
This city must remain a utopia in the minds of all its people.
Of course, that means it isn't one...
...and that you weren't mistaken.
Youmin, you're...
I've been researching No. 6.
Let's discuss the rest at your shop.
I'm sorry Shion...
I've had a hard time getting the goods you requested.
It's fine, I know I'm asking the impossible.
But I have to find a way to make a serum by spring.
I know, I'll figure something out.
Yes. Thank you very much.
Shion...
You're truly kind!
You should try worrying more about yourself than others!
Are you keeping yourself well-fed?
Yes, plentifully!
Since it's Eve feeding you, you must be eating nothing but mouldy bread!
I can't believe you've got so frail!
And your clothing is so filthy!
Ah, well, let's go search for that equipment...
What do you think of this?
I'm really fine with what I have...
Oh my, Rikiga-san!
Are you out buying a present for a girl?
No, today I'm trying to find some suitable clothes for this young man.
He's such an adorable boy.
Is he your son?
Uh... I-I'm fine, really.
Shion.
Winter is harsh in these parts.
If you don't have the right stuff, I can check elsewhere...
N-No, we certainly do!
Take a look!
Oh my, sorry about that.
Hey, hey! These are your goods.
You should handle them with care.
Ah... You're so right. I'm so sorry, young man.
Huh?
Did you find something you like?
Safu...
Huh?
Well, that's women's clothing...
Fairly average...
Shion?
Where did you get this?
Um...
Where did you get your hands on this?
Where... am I?
Amazing. All readings are at maximum level. She's an ideal sample.
Sample...?
With this, all other samples will become unnecessary.
That also means we'll no longer be plagued by constant errors.
What... errors?
We've attained the golden egg.
If you space out that much, it won't matter how many lives you have...
...Eve-san.
What do you want? Have you already found the information?
We have an emergency on our hands.
Shion came to me earlier this evening.
He brought a grey coat that I'd smuggled from the correctional facility,
shoved it in my face, and started asking questions.
A grey coat?
It belonged to a friend of his... Safu or whatnot.
And then?
Hey, hold up. I'm the one with questions.
The reason you asked me to gather information about the correctional facility...
...was for that friend of his, wasn't it?
You intend to save her?
Yeah right, there's no way you'd throw your life away for someone else.
There's no guarantee that I'd die.
Are you half asleep? We're talking about the correctional facility.
Even if you managed to get inside, you'd never make it out alive.
Wow, I didn't expect you to worry about me.
I'm not worried about you. What will Shion do?
If you don't stop him, that airhead will go there himself!
I don't give a damn what he does.
Then why are you sniffing around so secretly?
Concentrate on what I've asked you to do.
Shion is going.
He thinks you don't know anything about it.
He'll go without telling you anything...
...in order to keep you from getting involved.
But at the same time, you've been keeping this a secret from-
Shut up!
If he's so important that you're afraid to lose him, make sure you protect him with all you've got!
What the hell am I doing?
Why can't I toss him aside before he costs me my life?
I can't believe I paid that large amount of money just to investigate the correctional facility...
Am I an idiot?
Oh, welcome back, Rat!
Seems a bit elaborate.
I bought it with the money I made washing dogs.
I was thinking it'd be nice to splurge a bit.
Hey, this is really good!
By the way, how's the serum coming along?
Are you going to be able to achieve your "third option"?
It seems we're having trouble finding the equipment.
Rikiga-san is doing his best to prepare it, though.
C'mon, you ended up relying on someone else?
Yeah, I guess so.
I'm relying too heavily on you and Rikiga-san.
Well, if you can manage to break down the wall, as you said,
you won't have to rely on me any longer.
You can see your mother again.
And you can even see that Safu girl again...
Yeah...
And when she asks you again, what'll you do?
You'll have sex with her, right?
I wonder... She may have moved on already!
Those types tend to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
Man, you can't judge women well at all.
I don't really have an eye for judging women,
but I think I'm a pretty good judge of character in general.
That's pretty admirable of you.
If I hadn't met you...
I don't think I would ever have realised what kind of person I really am.
I'm sure I would have grown up to be apathetic, insensitive...
...an adult knowing nothing but innocence.
But... spending this time with you...
...laughing, crying, and getting angry...
I realised that I have a wide range of emotions.
I'm proud of what I've learned.
I'm so glad I met you.
That's not a kiss of gratitude, is it?
It's a goodnight kiss.
A goodnight one, huh?
Ah, that's right!
I need to get an early start tomorrow.
I have to give the dogs a haircut.
A goodnight kiss, huh?
You're a liar as well.
Why are you here?
He's your navigator.
You were heading in the wrong direction, so he came to warn you.
You aren't going to Dogloan's place?
I'm fed up with you acting like my guardian.
Leave me alone already.
From now on, I'll be acting freely, unrestricted by you.
So don't interfere.
Oh, your acting has got better since yesterday.
What are you doing?
That's your punishment.
Punishment?
You tried to deceive me.
No, I didn't!
Lying is the same as deceiving.
Goodnight kiss, my ass...
There's are limits to making a fool of someone.
I've asked Dogloan to gather information.
As soon as possible, I plan to infiltrate the correctional facility and save her.
Preparation is necessary, so don't rush things.
You...
That's your punishment.
You hid things from me and didn't tell me about this message.
What good would it have done to tell you?
If you had gone out on your own without a second's thought, you wouldn't have stood a chance!
I was worried about you!
Worrying and keeping secrets are different things.
It's not like you're my guardian!
It's not like I want you to protect me!
I want to be your equal!
But you keep on obsessing over No. 6.
You treat it as being disposable.
You don't try to understand me.
You look down on me and won't tell me anything.
That's bull.
You're saying that I've been looking down on you?
You're the one who doesn't understand...
...how important it was to me when you saved me four years ago.
At that time, I'd almost completely given up.
I thought it was impossible that someone would help me, asking nothing in return.
I wondered if I'd been born just to die in this pathetic state.
However...
That window, hanging open so defencelessly,
was like a miracle to me.
There are certainly times when we are saved by our fellow man...
That is what you taught me.
I learned that from you, and no one else.
I couldn't forget it... couldn't push it away.
That's why I am who I am now.
I apologise for the letter... I won't do something like that ever again.
I swear it. So don't go giving me a goodbye kiss.
And don't lie to me.
I promise.
I ended up getting you involved after all.
It's not your fault. Cheer up!
It'll work out somehow... No, we'll make it happen.
Rat... Thank you.
I have something I want to show you.
Show me?
Come with me.

When I'm hurt,

In the endless night, I have but one wish,

"星のない空に輝く光を"

生まれ変わって明日をきっと照らしてくれる
will be reborn and illuminate our tomorrow.
The great queen. A ruler.
She holds a power that humans can never reach.
Why do I hate No. 6?
My whole life, I'd never sought to know the truth.
To simply say that the truth is unreachable or hidden...
...those aren't valid excuses.
I'm a... sample?
Who is... she?
Can you sing that song?
Cut it out...
「The reason is...」
Cut it out already!
