We're almost there. Are you all right?
Yeah... sort of.
They won't give up...
Master!
Clear?!
Don't be mean to my master!
Master!
I won't forgive anyone who hurts my master.
Apologize to my master!
Apologize! Apologize right now!
Hey, Clear...
Apologize!
Clear, stop!
Master...
That's enough, Clear.
Master...
What...?
Clear!
Are you all right, Clear?
Hurry! We have to get this off you!
N-No, this is fine.
Of course it's not!
What if your face got burnt, too?
I'll take it off and wash it later.
Later? We have to wash it now!
My grandfather told me that I mustn't take off my mask.
My grandfather said my face isn't like a normal person's,
so I mustn't show anyone.
I'm sure I have a very strange face...
A face not like anyone else's.
You've never seen your own face?
I'm sure I have a face like a monster...
It's not normal!
Please, Master.
Please don't look at my face.
I don't want you to see it.
I don't want you to hate me.
No matter what your face looks like, I'd never hate you.
How can you be so sure?
You've never seen my face, Master.
True, I've never seen your face...
But despite that, we've been together this long, haven't we?
Look, I'm worried that you might be hurt.
Please, just let me see.
Are you sure... that you won't hate me?
Yes.
No matter what my face looks like, you won't hate me...
Can I believe you?
Yes.
I'm your master, right?
Then believe me.
I believe you, Master.
All right. I'm taking it off.
Okay.
It really is weird, isn't it?
It's not weird at all.
Is it there? Do I have a face?
Does it have the same things that you and normal people have on their faces?
It's fine. It's all there.
Eyes, nose, mouth... It's all the same as me.
The same?
The same.
The same... The same as Master...
Master...
It doesn't look like you're hurt.
Yes, Master...
The brightly shining Oval Tower here in Platinum Jail...
It's all Toue and Oval Tower.
Master, it's bad for your health if you don't eat.
Oh, thanks.
This is good.
Thank goodness.
I lived with my grandfather for a long time, so I'm used to doing chores.
If you ever need any cooking or laundry done, I'll do my best.
Huh?
Master?!
Master!
Master...
What happened?
That song... I think it was Dye Music.
Dye...?
It's music that brainwashes its listeners.
Brainwashes? So is Toue behind it?
Most likely.
Grams once said...
that Toue planned to brainwash everyone on the island.
Here, please lie down.
Normal people would simply be brainwashed without even noticing the Dye Music.
Your pain might have something to do with the power of your voice, Master.
Why... do you know about that?
Because...
I wonder why. I'm not sure myself.
My grandfather might have told me.
Who was... your grandfather?
I'm sorry, I really don't know.
Ow... It still hurts.
I believe the effects of the music are still lingering in your body.
Please close your eyes and relax.
Sway, sway, swaying,
Between the waves...
Master... I am very frightened right now.
Shine, shine, shining,
If you stopped breathing while you were asleep...
Their voices drift far into the distance...
All people's lives will end.
Don't you think that's terrifying?
The one that should have been disposed of
was stolen by the person in charge of disposal at the time.
Oh? So you're saying that it's with him?
What shall we do?
Send the Alphas over.
Understood.
By the way... How is Sei doing?
Actually... Not very well...
Ren-san, why don't you address Master as "Master"?
You are Master's Allmate, right?
Meaning your owner is Master.
Your description of our relationship is accurate,
but Aoba is Aoba.
There's no need to call him Master.
Really? But that makes it sound like you're Master's equal.
What matters is not my preference, but how Aoba regards the matter.
I'm merely obeying him.
But I can't accept that.
He has a name, and it's Aoba.
But Master is Master.
I think it's a matter of taste.
Master.
What do you mean by taste?
Well, if anyone but me was your master, would you still call them "Master"?
I cannot even fathom someone else being my master, Master.
Well... If I were in such a situation, then I would call them "Master."
I see...
Did I say something strange?
No... I just thought that was a little sad.
Sad...?
Yeah, a little.
Maybe it's because of that song, but I'm feeling much better.
Really? I'm glad to hear it.
All right. We should check out Oval Tower.
Let's head there immediately.
Huh?
I shall lead the way, Master.
Damn it. I still can't get my strength back.
Stay put a while longer.
Ow... That hurt.
Too easy.
This is Oval Tower, Master.
We cannot let our guard down now.
"Over R Tower"...
There's one too many "R"s.
Eh?!
The real Oval Tower is over there.
What?!
I'm truly sorry.
Because of my mistake, we...
If I had my mask, I'd like to put it on right now.
Don't worry about it.
Okay, Master.
This is a really pretty place.
Yes!
What's the matter, Clear?
Found you.
Nice to meet you...
Nii-san.
What's going on?
Hey, isn't that reaction a bit weak?
Clear, you...
Master, please stay back.
He said "Master." Did you hear that?
Apparently that's his master.
Inconceivable.
Our master is Toue, not him.
Toue?!
No! This is my only master!
Yeah, he really is broken.
We need to collect the garbage and dispose of it.
Those were Master's orders.
Clear!
Clear?!
Stay back! They're...
Aw... You forgot that, too?
There's a safety mechanism in us
that won't allow us to attack our master or our allies.
But we're different.
Our master has temporarily disabled the mechanism in us so we can destroy you.
Our real Master, that is!
How pathetic! Look at our dunce of a brother.
Nii-san, you were defective from the moment of your creation.
You were supposed to be disposed of.
But the person in charge of disposal at the time ran off with you instead.
And you lived together until he died, right?
Hey. Was it fun playing human?
Come, now. If you disobey, you'll short your circuits and break.
Clear!
No! Stay back, Master!
Hey, want to dye that human, too?
Yeah, let's dye him.
No! I won't let you!
Clear!
Aww... Now he's done it.
He disobeyed the safety.
That blew out his auto-repair system, too.
Now he can't self-repair anymore, and he'll just keep breaking down.
Clear!
Please run, Master...
You're coming with me.
Are you all right, Master?
I should be asking you that.
I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to deceive you.
I remembered when I saw those two...
That I am the same as they are.
I believe the reason that I identified you as my master
was because of your voice.
Because, like us and Toue, your voice has the power to control other people.
Toue, as well?
Toue is testing the results of the experiment on his own body.
On his own body...
I didn't have any doubts about my body.
I was truly happy during the time I spent with my grandfather and you.
And I had no doubts.
I had no reason to doubt.
I had forgotten, for all this time...
But please believe me!
My wish to protect you is not a lie!
I do.
I believe you.
If you get soaked, you'll catch a cold, Master.
Took you long enough.
How tragic.
But I guess it had to happen, since you betrayed your own kind.
You're pretending to be human, but in the end, you're just a machine.
It's true. We're pretending to be human...
And we were made to control humans.
You guys ridicule it as playing human...
But don't you realize that's a sad thing?
You two are far more pitiful.
You look just like humans...
But you don't know the joys of being human.
Isn't that sad?
What a pain.
What are you talking about? I don't get it.
I want to be human!
Yeah, he's totally lost it.
I have my own will!
I am calling this person "Master" of my own free will!
Our master is Toue. He is flawless.
To call such an incomplete human "Master"...
You're not right in the head.
Don't insult my master!
Like I care.
I... want to live as a human.
Because Master taught me so many important things.
Clear!
It's okay. I will protect you, no matter what.
Still going to try something?
Please believe in me.
Wanting to protect you...
is the first decision I made myself, and I want to see it through.
People who won't learn are so annoying.
So please... Let me protect you!
Clear!
He broke his safety!
What...?
Sway, sway, swaying,
Between the waves...
Shine, shine, shining,
Their voices drift far into the distance.
What is this?!
Stop!
The jellyfish sing songs as they dream.
They sleep by the gentle shore.
I sang at maximum output to overpower the Alphas' processing ability.
Don't talk!
I'm glad it worked.
Master, you used Scrap on me earlier, didn't you?
Y-Yeah...
I thought it was strange, since I'm a machine...
Did I have a heart, too?
Yeah...
I'm sure that my heart was born because I was able to care for you, Master.
Clear...
Master, I have a request...
May I call you by your name?
Yeah...
Aoba-san...
Clear...
Master, I'm glad you're okay.
You're my master, Master.
I wonder if jellyfish dream when they're asleep.
Master! The way you think is wonderful!
If my singing could please someone again, nothing would make me happier.
I believe in you, Master.
People are getting dragged in because of me.
I came to have you repay me.
I don't want to involve anyone else.
Stop sounding so helpless.
What is your goal?
There's something I want to give you.
You're the one who called me here.
I don't want to do this, but...
It's refusing me?!
You have the same scent as me.
