00:01I have the same dream over and over again.
00:05In it, for some reason, I'm surrounded by darkness, staring at a distant, bright light and crying.
00:12I don't know if these are tears of sorrow or joy, but they continue to flow endlessly.
00:18Gradually, the light grows larger until it envelops me, and I let out a loud scream.
00:36Now!
00:53Now, Trelitzia! End it!
00:55What?
00:56Just sit back, hero!
00:58It's my time to show up!
01:00Here we go!
01:07See that? Piece of cake!
01:09Hey, you better get us out of here before...
01:11Oh, no!
01:16Never mind.
01:17Is it?
01:23Oh, no!
01:24You better get us out of here.
01:34I will make it.
01:37The moon is not flying, the moon is flying,
01:46The moon is coming, and the moon is coming.
01:53The moon is coming, and the moon is coming.
02:20I'll see you next time.
02:32I'll see you next time.
03:14I'll see you next time.
03:18Hmm.
03:20To that area you mean?
03:22Recently, we've detected klaxosaur activity in the depths of the Grand Clavasse.
03:27It is Squad 13's duty to deliver Code 002 there safe and sound.
03:33The plan is already in motion.
03:36We must have them undergo maintenance in the lab at once.
03:40Before that, why don't we award them something?
03:43You mean reward the children?
03:46Since ancient times, awards have been the most common way to inspire soldiers.
03:51This may prove more effective with them as their way of life reflects a bygone era.
03:55What an interesting idea.
03:58I shall allow it.
04:00All right!
04:01Can we drop this?
04:02I apologize, didn't I?
04:04You did not!
04:04That wasn't an apology!
04:06It didn't sound like your heart was in it even a little bit!
04:09They're still added?
04:10Oh!
04:10And how can you be so sure?
04:12Can you read my mind?
04:13Well, can't you?
04:14Of course not!
04:15Zero Two, you okay?
04:18I'm just thinking about something.
04:22Apologize now!
04:23Over my dead body!
04:24I swear I'm gonna kill you one of these days, Zorome!
04:27Fuck!
04:27I can't see you try!
04:29Come on!
04:29Come on!
04:30You can't even touch me!
04:31You can't...
04:32Hey!
04:33Let go!
04:33I warned you!
04:34That hurt!
04:35Okay, kids!
04:36We need to talk!
04:37I have good news!
04:41Tomorrow you are all to dress in your formal attire and gather in the front of the house at 0900
04:46hours.
04:46Understood?
04:48Formal?
04:48Is something happening?
04:50Papa values what you've achieved in battle thus far very highly.
04:54As such, though, there's very little precedent.
04:57He's decided to award all of you with medals.
05:01What?
05:01Medals?
05:02What are those?
05:03The ceremony's tomorrow at Plantation Parliament HQ.
05:07You're serious, Nana?
05:08Wait, then that means...
05:09Wow!
05:10We did it, Zorome!
05:11Aren't you glad?
05:12Uh, no, I'm lost.
05:14You idiot!
05:15Use your head!
05:15She's telling us we're going to be allowed into the city for once!
05:19Huh?
05:21Really?
05:25Ahaha!
05:27Yes!
05:28I did it!
05:30I don't think I've ever seen him so happy before.
05:32As he should be.
05:33This is what Zorome's been working towards for a long time.
05:39Zero Two, wait.
05:41Yeah, what?
05:42The timing of this is convenient.
05:44I'll arrange for you to undergo testing while we're in the city.
05:47I hate those tests they give me.
05:50I always feel lousy after I take them.
05:53And besides, I've been doing great these days.
05:56So I'll pass on the test for a while, thanks!
06:01Here I thought Zero Two had become a little more obedient after teaming up with a certain
06:05and someone.
06:15We haven't worn these since the welcoming ceremony.
06:18Zorome, you're owning this formal look.
06:21Very mature.
06:24Huh, I know.
06:26He'd better be after he spent all morning checking himself out in the mirror.
06:29To think he could have been looking at something interesting.
06:32Say what?
06:34But seriously, you do look better than usual.
06:37You got that right!
06:38Don't go flattering him, Kokoro.
06:40Stuff like that goes straight to boys' heads.
06:42Shut up!
06:44Good morning!
06:46Is everyone ready to go?
06:53Come on, hurry up.
07:05Amazing!
07:21You are the first children to ever be welcomed here.
07:24This is a truly great honor.
07:27I hope you consider this day a source of pride for a long time,
07:31live up to this honor bestowed upon you,
07:33and make even further contributions to this plantation.
07:37Are you the team leader?
07:39Yes, sir!
07:40Code 015!
07:41You have achieved great things on the battlefield.
07:44It speaks to your leadership.
07:46Thank you for your kind words!
07:47But those accomplishments are not mine alone!
07:50We all contribute!
07:53Thank you for joining us.
07:55It is an honor for Plantation 13 to host a former Nine.
08:00And you've done well to live up to the expectations placed upon you.
08:04Uh, thank you, sir.
08:10Thank you for defending us adults.
08:12Papa is overjoyed by your success.
08:15Your efforts have been splendid, too.
08:18Keep it up in the battles to come.
08:20I will!
08:21Thank you very much, sir!
08:34I'm going to visit R&D before I head back.
08:37Take care of the children.
08:39Got it.
08:40Huh?
08:41That's all it was?
08:42Well, yes.
08:43It was over so quickly.
08:45Oh, man.
08:46I was counting on there being some kind of a feast.
08:49I'm sure you'll live.
08:50I know! Let's walk back and see the city!
08:53Great idea!
08:54It wasn't that far!
08:56We can walk back!
08:57Right, Nana?
09:00All right, let's go.
09:06Oh!
09:08This is great!
09:10Someday I'll live here, too, right?
09:11After I get to become an adult, of course.
09:14Maybe.
09:15But, you know, for some reason,
09:16I can't see us becoming adults.
09:18The same goes for me, actually.
09:20There's no proof that we'll be able to, anyway.
09:23That's because you guys have no imagination at all!
09:27Imagination?
09:28With Zotome, it's delusional.
09:30You can say that again!
09:33Zero Two, do you remember a while back
09:35you once called this city lifeless?
09:37What did you mean by that?
09:40I meant exactly that.
09:42You okay?
09:43You've been acting kind of weird.
09:45Did something happen?
09:46I'm fine.
09:47I just couldn't care less about this place, is all.
09:57I've never seen it from so close before.
10:00It's beautiful.
10:01To think that alone powers the entire plantation.
10:05Cool, huh, Eiji?
10:10I guess I shouldn't have done that.
10:12Huh?
10:12What are you talking about?
10:14When I told you how I felt,
10:16that was selfish of me to do.
10:18So please, don't let it bother you.
10:24All right, kids, we're heading back now.
10:27Yes, ma'am.
10:44Whoa, so cool!
10:55Whoa!
11:11What the?
11:15Seriously?
11:19You're kidding me!
11:45Why isn't anybody here?
11:47Are they all asleep?
11:50There's someone!
11:51Hello!
11:52Excuse me!
11:56They just... ignored me?
12:20Oh, God! You've finally woken up!
12:22Whoa!
12:26What a relief!
12:27You didn't wake after I initially treated you.
12:30So I was a bit worried.
12:35Oh, thank you very much.
12:37You're welcome.
12:39Of course, your body and other things are a little different from ours.
12:42The medical checker just wouldn't work on you.
12:45But I kept trying and eventually I thought to test the other settings, such as pet mode and success.
12:52Am I...
12:54Inside a grown-up's house?!
12:57Oh, sorry about that.
13:01My, that must have been rough for you.
13:04Yup, they're heartless. That's all there is to it.
13:07Don't you worry. I'll go send word about this right away.
13:11Wait! Hold on!
13:15Before you make that call, do you think maybe we could talk for a bit?
13:20You see, I've always looked up to adults, so I have a bunch of questions and stuff.
13:30Very well. I don't see any harm in it. Let's have a little chat.
13:35But first, I'll make some tea.
13:48What are you doing?
13:50Disinfecting.
13:52Oh.
13:56Go on. Help yourself.
14:03Um, um, um, um, um, um...
14:06Oh, my God.
14:16Did you enjoy the snack?
14:18Heck yeah! It was super tasty!
14:20Really? That's good to hear.
14:23Aren't you gonna eat anything?
14:25No, not me.
14:26There was a time when I used to enjoy the sense of taste.
14:30But I don't really care now.
14:32As long as my body gets the nutrition it needs, I'm quite content.
14:38Huh?
14:40You're home! It's pretty huge.
14:42So how many people live in this place?
14:45Just two, my partner and myself.
14:47That's it? Only two people in this whole apartment?
14:49That's correct.
14:51Wow. And adults have partners too, huh?
14:54Oh, yes.
14:55So does that mean...
14:57No, wait. It's not because you need to pilot a Frank's.
15:01So why do you have a partner?
15:04Because we're following a very old custom.
15:07For the sake of convenience.
15:10Custom?
15:11A long time ago, men and women used to pair up together to form special relationships, apparently.
15:17They would do this to make things easier and to procreate.
15:21Life must have been uncomfortable.
15:23Why's that?
15:24Well, because they had to rely on others for every little thing.
15:28Doesn't that sound annoying to you?
15:30I guess.
15:33How would you like to meet my partner?
15:36What? Is he here?
15:39Come with me.
15:42This man is my partner.
15:45Oh.
15:48That's a big smile on his face.
15:50Whatever he's dreaming about, it must be amazing.
15:54He's not dreaming at all.
15:56He's receiving his dose of happiness.
15:58Huh?
16:00You see, he's activating his brain's reward system to gain a sense of pleasure.
16:04A truly, truly wonderful thing.
16:12I'd rather get it from eating more of those snacks you had.
16:17Hey, are you okay?
16:19I'm just feeling a bit tired.
16:22Let's go back to the living room.
16:24Uh, sure.
16:28Are you really all right?
16:31I'm sorry.
16:32It's been such a long time since I've talked with someone this much.
16:35I'm not used to it.
16:37For real?
16:38But don't you and your partner talk to each other?
16:40We don't.
16:42Come to think of it, I can't remember his voice.
16:46You haven't spoken in that long?
16:48There's no need for us to speak.
16:51Are you guys on bad terms?
16:53Oh, no.
16:54I don't think either of us is dissatisfied with our partner.
16:58We don't meddle in each other's business,
17:00which gives us the freedom to live our lives as we please.
17:04I guess that sort of makes sense.
17:06Honestly, I can't even tell you how much I have to hear my partner's voice each and every day.
17:11Oh?
17:12Of all the girls on our squad, I got partnered with the loudest, naggiest one.
17:16Talk about bad luck.
17:17She gets so emotional.
17:19We break into these big arguments at the drop of a hat.
17:21Sounds like you got matched with the wrong person, then.
17:24You should change your partner.
17:27If there's a problem between you two, doesn't it negatively impact your missions?
17:32Uh, maybe.
17:33I guess.
17:34But the truth is, it doesn't really bother me when the two of us are fighting.
17:38And I'm probably the only one who can deal with how cranky she is.
17:41At least, I don't think the other guys can.
17:45Well, if there isn't a problem, then I guess it's fine.
17:48There's no problem at all.
17:50Even Miku.
17:51Oh, I forgot to tell you.
17:53That's my partner's name, Miku.
17:54Her name?
17:56Yeah.
17:57Our squad has these nicknames for each other.
17:59Everyone calls me Zorome, but my code number is...
18:02666.
18:04Oh.
18:04I must have told you that.
18:07Anyway, when it comes to Miku, she has an awful personality.
18:10But her looks aren't half bad.
18:12And, to be honest, she is pretty cute when she keeps her mouth shut.
18:16Sometimes, when we're fighting klaxosaurs and stuff,
18:18I get this really strong urge to protect her and take care of her, as weird as that sounds.
18:23It makes me wonder.
18:24Maybe that feeling's what lets us fight together.
18:28Oh, wow.
18:29Is that why Franks are built to be operated by male-female pairings?
18:34Ugh.
18:35Are you alright?
18:37I'm fine.
18:38Don't worry.
18:39However, I've grown quite tired now.
18:42So I'll send word for someone to pick you up.
18:44Oh, okay.
18:46It's getting late anyway.
18:52Yes.
18:53I checked with them.
18:54There's no doubt about it.
18:59They say they'll be here right away.
19:02Thanks for all your help.
19:04Is something wrong?
19:09Nothing.
19:10Are you still in pain somewhere?
19:12Oh, no.
19:13I'm okay.
19:15But then why?
19:18I don't know.
19:20I don't know.
19:20You sure?
19:21Not really.
19:22I'm confused.
19:52Even though this is the first time I've met you.
19:53You know,
19:55It feels like someone's always been watching over me.
19:59Gentle and kind.
20:01And always there to protect me.
20:07Well then, you're quite mistaken because I cannot protect you.
20:14Oh.
20:15On the contrary.
20:17You children are the ones who are busy protecting all of us.
20:21Huh.
20:24Yeah, that's true.
20:26Yes, it is.
20:27You protect this entire plantation.
20:30Yeah.
20:31That's something to be proud of.
20:34And I'll keep protecting it.
20:36I won't be defeated.
20:38I'll fight and fight and fight and kill every Galaxasaur.
20:43Then after that, one day, I'll become an adult too.
20:47Well, when I do, and I'm finally allowed to live in this city, would you be, well, uh, my fam?
20:57I mean, would you be my friend?
21:00No, that is obviously out of the question.
21:03It is?
21:05After all, you are...
21:16I treated his wounds, and I fed him a little, but that was about it.
21:22Don't make us waste our time.
21:24This isn't a place infected children like you should enter.
21:28Cut it out.
21:29They're basically victims in all this too.
21:32The poor pitiful things.
21:35Hmm?
21:38Good news.
21:39They found Zorome.
21:43That jerk.
21:44Making us all worry like this.
21:47I sentenced him to one week of cleaning the bathroom!
21:53It's not true.
21:54We're not pitiful.
22:03Stop that!
22:04You're supposed to take this seriously!
22:06I am!
22:06What are you keeping watch for?
22:08It's not a show!
22:09Why did that adult woman feel so familiar to me?
22:14I thought about it a bunch of times after that day.
22:17But in the end, I never found an answer.
22:21Eventually, I stopped thinking about it.
22:24I even forgot about her.
22:26And ever since, I stopped having that dream.
22:31You can't touch me!
22:49It's not a show!
22:51I don't know where I'm going to be.
22:53It's not a show!
22:56It's not a show!
22:58It's not a show!
22:59I think it's not a show!
23:01It's not a show!
23:02It's not a show!
23:03I don't think I'm going to be cute.
23:10I don't want to go away.
23:13I don't want to open the window.
23:15I don't want to go away.
23:16I don't want to go away.
23:18I don't want to go away.
23:32I don't want to go away.
23:35Yeah, yeah.
23:44I'm just a friend of mine
23:47Just to say I'm just a friend
23:50I feel like I'm free
