I really want to go home
Whazzat?
It's a machine!
What does this mean?
Pass that here for a moment.
So that crab was a robot?
A robot?
Nope, the crab was real.
Then why did it have this kind of machine in it?
I ain't sure.
I'll try figure it out.
Chako, let's start looking into it right now.
Alright!
Dinner is served!
I don't need any!
Go on and eat without me!
Shingo's sure enthusiastic.
Maybe this part is some kind of enhancement that supports the movements of the muscles.
Looks like it.
It really is.
Nano-plant?
I've heard of them.
To put it simply, they're computers so small you can't see them with the naked eye.
But we can see that machine, can't we?
You're quite...
...the idiot.
What?
Basically, lots of little computers attached together to make it.
It's an organic Integrated Circuit.
That's what nano-plants are.
Then that means somebody made that crab after all.
Wrong!
The crab was real.
Someone just put nano-plants into it and was manipulatin' it.
Which means...
Someone else other than us is here.
There's a high possibility of that.
I'll have to examine those ruins.
But what was it being manipulated for?
Maybe something important is hidden in those ruins.
That might be true.
If you'll excuse me...
Where are you going, Shingo?
If I use that machine, I might be able to fix the communication system.
Is that true, Shingo?
I'll give it a try.
If we can transmit...
...someone will come save us!
Which means...
...we can go home! We can really go home!
Alright!
We don't know for sure yet.
That machine has a structure I ain't seen before.
It ain't clear if we'll be able to use it in the communications system.
Chako!
Hurry up and come help me!
I'm on my way!
See ya.
Chako...
Sorry, but we're counting on you.
Everyone's tired...
...so we're going to sleep ahead of you.
Okay! Leave it to us!
That's crazy processing speed.
While constantly calculatin', it's adaptin' to the crab's physique.
How's it doin' it?
Hey, Chako...
Maybe we can use this as an incremental amplification circuit.
Which? Pass it here.
How is it, Shingo?
How many more minutes is it going to take?
Just wait a little longer.
Just go to sleep! Leave it to us!
Okay, I get it.
Well, there's no need to be impatient.
As long as it's fixed by tomorrow morning, there's no problem.
What a nuisance.
I'll definitely fix it!
There's nothing I can't fix!
So? Is it going well?
Maybe. I ain't sure.
How's Shingo?
He's still at it.
He ain't left that seat.
Shingo, you're really working hard, aren't you?
Stay away!
You'll distract me.
But you should take a little break.
I said leave me alone!
Luna...
I'm sorry for shouting.
Be moderate about it.
I think it was like this.
You walked a very complicated path.
It's because we were led by the voice.
So that crab was near these ruins?
The crab, and the voice that only Luna can hear.
We really do need to investigate it.
Let's go take another look.
We'll have to get ready.
Then let's split up and get started.
What, is it fixed yet?
You'll wake Shingo.
What's up with him?
And he promised he'd have it done by morning!
Stop it!
It looked like he was working straight through until morning, so don't wake him up yet.
What are you saying?
Like I said, you'll wake him!
Sorry, Shingo.
And you just got to sleep, too...
I'm fine.
Chako, let's get started.
Don't push it, Shingo.
Well, I'll overlook how you broke your promise.
But in exchange, you'd better work on it all morning!
Hey, Luna...
...are you really going to go to where those ruins were again?
If the communications system gets fixed, we'll just have to wait to get rescued.
We won't need to do anything dangerous.
Luna...
What's wrong?
You've been absent-minded lately.
Actually it's about Shingo...
About Shingo?
What kind of kid is he?
L-- let's see...
Actually, I don't really know either.
Really...
Because Shingo skipped grades to get into our year of school...
Try harder!
...and he's two years younger than everybody else...
...so he couldn't fit in with everyone.
I'm spent. Let's take a break.
It's no use...
So that's how it was.
How about siblings?
I know he has a younger brother and sister...
A younger brother and sister...
Give me a break!
How long will it be before it's fixed?
Like I said, I'm working on it right now!
It ain't so easy to fix!
So what you're saying is that you lied.
And we were all looking forward to it so badly!
Instead of acting so high and mighty and getting us excited over it just because you can, tell us from the start if you can't fix it!
But I should have expected it from only-machines-for-friends Shingo!
What's up with that?
Remember back in school?
You didn't have any friends but machines!
It's only natural that you'd be lying about us being able to go home.
I never said we could go home!
That's right, that's right!
Liar.
Shut up!
Hey, both of you, what's wrong?
You see, this liar...
Forget it!
Shingo, wait!
Shingo...
The fault's with Howard!
He's the one who lied.
He said we could go home, after all.
He didn't!
All he said was maybe he could fix th' communication system!
You misunderstood on your own!
It amounts to the same thing.
It's Shingo's fault.
I really...
...want to go home!
Darling!
Big bro!
Wow, wow!
Skipping grades?
Starting next year, we'll be moving you ahead two years in school.
Two school years ahead?
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry...
You're doing well in everything.
Truth be told, this is the first time I've seen a spectacular student like you.
You're the pride of our school.
Keep up the good work.
Okay!
Dad...
Mom...
I should be able to do it!
With my skill, there shouldn't be anything I can't fix!
Homesick?
Probably.
That explains it.
I know I'm lonely...
...so since Shingo's two years younger, it would go double for him.
What should we do to cheer Shingo up?
For know, I think we should just leave him be.
I'll come home. I'll come home, Mom and Dad.
This won't work either.
Shingo...
Take a break already.
No way!
I want to fix it!
More than anything, I want to fix it!
That don't mean you shouldn't take a nap!
I can't stay up with you any longer.
What can I do to fix it?
Mom...
I want to go home, Mom...
You're pretty skilled.
What's wrong?
Nothing much.
Mommy, I want to go home!
Taking such good care of something like this.
You must miss suckling at your mother's teat.
Give it back!
No way!
Howard, stop that!
I heard it clearly!
Mommy, mommy!
I'm lonely!
What's wrong with that?
That's right!
Even though you skipped grades, you're still just a little brat!
When push comes to shove, you can't fix the communications system.
Crying for your Mommy just shows how useless you are.
Howard, give it a rest!
Shingo, wait!
Sheesh!
There's no reason to run away just because I told the truth!
Howard, what are you talking about?
But I mean, "Mommy!" right?
You're the one who's always yellin', "Papa!"
Understand how lonely Shingo feels!
And calling him useless was too cruel!
Like I care!
He's already gone through so many troubles on account of skipping grades.
Shingo's trying the best he can.
Denying that that's the case is...
Ever since we came to this island, he's been working hard for everyone's sake!
And also...
...no matter who it is, anyone would get uneasy and think about their family!
You can't laugh at him for that!
Sorry, I lost sight of him.
Shingo!
Hey! Shingo!
Shingo!
Shingo! (x4)
Shingo!
Where did he go?
He may be hiding somewhere because he doesn't want to see us.
He might be hurt worse than we'd thought.
This isn't a joke!
I may have said too much then...
...but it's not like you're the only one who's lonely!
Maybe he's...
Like I thought.
What should we do?
You, say somethin' to 'im.
F-- fine.
Umm, you see...
Here.
Shingo...
Making me worry about you...
Papa!
Papa, Papa, Papa!
I miss you!
I really, really miss you!
Alright...
Luna?
Mom! Dad!
I'm very, very lonely!
Mom! Dad!
This island's so very scary and I'm afraid I'll die!
Mom! Dad!
It's embarrassing, but I've cried!
Father! Mother!
This world is beyond my comprehension!
Y'don't hafta join 'em if y'don't wanna.
Everyone...
Mom! Dad!
I'll definitely fix the communication system and bring everyone home to meet you!
Hey, you've done enough.
You can give up already.
Alright!
Here we go!
Yeah, I'm ready!
Shingo, the emergency beacon!
Right!
I wonder if it'll reach them...
It's definitely going to reach them!
.em ot emoC
We're connected!
We can go home. We can go home!
They really received it?
Alright! Alright! Alright!
If they responded, it means they're coming to rescue us!
Alright!
Everyone...
...this voice...
...is the one I've been hearing in my head.
This one?
Then we didn't make contact with anywhere?
What?
What did that voice say?
I don't know.
Really...
But now it's clear that there's civilization.
That's right!
Well done, Shingo.
That's right, Shingo.
That's right! Shingo's hard work wasn't wasted!
Did you get dust in your eye?
No...
Don't be silly.
Shingo, thank you!
Luna...
Dad... Mom...
I'll be fine now.
After all, I have friends.
What's wrong, Luna?
Oh no! That's an awful fever!
Luna, you must be in pain!
I want to do something to help her!
After all, Luna's my best friend!
I'm not just going to sit idly by!
Nicely said, Sharla!
You're a real good girl!
I'm on the verge of tears.
Next time: There's always a blue sky in your heart.
