Nessa
Lady Phryne, Lady Phryne!
Oh Lady Phryne, where have you gone?
Calm down.
Grand Priestess!
It makes no sense to ask where she has gone.
She cannot go anywhere.
After all, the whole world is connected.
When she comes back...
...she will have to be punished severely.
She has stolen the key to the world, after all.
Tada!
Who are you?
U-Um...
Sorry, I forgot to greet you!
Good morning!
So who are you?
I'm Clain...
To a new morning!
Good morning, Clain!
Um...
What is it?
You're a doppel... right?
You look pretty real, though.
Wanna try patting my head?
Don't be shy! It's just my head!
I can feel you.
Isn't it strange?
Nessa doesn't know much about herself either!
Nessa is unusual!
Nessa?
Nessa!
What exactly is your relation to Phryne?
Phryne?
You don't know her?
She's the girl who left you here.
She left Nessa?
Do you think that Phryne girl hates Nessa?
No, I don't think she does.
Then it's all good!
Nessa hates hate.
And Nessa loves love!
If I were to offer a wish to the day star
Is she Phryne's doppel?
I would wish to be great friends with Clain
No way.
She's a restless, weird girl...
Well, I suppose Phryne's just as weird.
Good morning!
Clain, you brought another girl here?
N-No, the girl from yesterday forgot to take this girl with her...
Forgot? What do you mean?
Wow, it's so cute!
She can touch doppels?
You're right, this girl... isn't human.
I told you, she forgot to take her along.
Then you'll have to give this girl back to her.
If you can't, contact the police.
B-But-
Doesn't this girl belong to her?
In that case-
Clain!
Look, it's a huge ribbon!
Give this girl back?
I don't even know where Phryne is.
Look, birds!
They seem to be enjoying themselves!
Nessa loves birds.
I wonder if Phryne loves birds too?
I don't know.
Phryne, huh?
What should I do when I see her?
I should scold her first.
I'll scold her!
The wind feels so good!
It whips by my cheeks and makes them flap!
Stay still, or you'll fall off!
Nessa!
See, I told you.
You should be fine since you're a doppel, though.
H-Hey.
Clain?
Touch me.
Touch you? Why?
Touch me.
You're touching me, you're touching me!
What's wrong with you?
You're touching me.
Oh? It seems kind of lonely here.
It's really quiet.
Found somebody!
You really don't know anything.
There are only branch offices around here.
Security, administration, and the like.
The buildings remain, but few people live here.
Wow...
Nessa, you can't stay at my place...
So maybe you could stay here-
Wow, what a huge clock!
Nessa!
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong...
Hey, you can't go in there without permission!
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong...
Wait up, Nessa!
It's beautiful!
So many vehicles!
Are they here to have fun?
No, those vehicles are their homes.
Apparently they're handy because they don't tie you down.
Even if a star came crashing down, they could simply move away.
A star?
Balloons.
The radio wave reception is pretty stable around cities too.
I guess things are easier when you don't have to worry about a house.
But you have a house, Clain.
Well... you know, I like old things.
My mom complains about it a lot.
Everyone is lost.
No one has a welcoming home to return to.
Even if you have a home, only doppels will welcome you back.
None of us are tied down to begin with.
That's why I don't think you need to tie yourself to a house.
What?!
She's way too fast!
Gimme a break!
Nessa...
She's gone already?!
Hey, what are you watching?
Hey, does that make you happier than being patted by someone?
So this is where they sleep.
I wonder where the bathroom is?
Oh, it went away.
Nessa, you know...
Look, Clain!
The baby likes it!
He's laughing!
Like I said, Nessa-
Oh, please don't!
It flew! It flew!
Everyone seems to be having so much fun!
It's him!
He's the cause of the chaos.
Hey, you'll pay for this!
I've never been dragged around this much.
Wasn't that fun, Clain?
Hey, where should we go next?
Security.
I'm going to leave you with them.
I can't be with you anymore!
Why not?
Nessa will be with you.
Like I said-
That's because this is Nessa's home!
Your home?
Clain, you're the one who called Nessa out.
That's why Nessa's home is wherever you are.
I wonder why...
Nessa's smile...
...scares me.
Clain?
Let's go.
Clain, you can't touch Nessa anymore?
Let's go to Security.
Nessa.
Someone forgot to take her along?
Well, I can keep her here for now.
Thank you.
Bye, Clain!
You had it coming!
Didn't you steal something from us?
Revenge is sweet.
Revenge!
You guys...
Get him!
Yessir!
One two, one two!
Hey!
Dear Brother!
We brought him, Big Brother!
W-What is it?!
So it was you?
The one who hid the priestess.
Hey, boy.
Where is she?
I-I don't know.
She was gone by morning.
P-P-Pervert!
You've got to be a pervert if you spent the night with her!
Disinfect him!
Yessir!
Enri.
I see.
Okay then, boy.
Stop calling me "boy". You're a boy too.
You were the one who caused the uproar at the camping site, right?
That wasn't me.
It was a doppel that Phryne had.
I-I don't know where she is now.
She went away on her own...
Liar! I bet you know!
You're a pervert!
I'm sure you know everything about her!
Stop calling me a pervert!
I'm not even a pervert to begin with!
You can go.
Brother?
Well then...
In the world we live in...
We leave anything tiresome, be it working or moving about, to doppels.
But...
Something you can feel on your skin leaves an entirely different impression.
Am I right, boy?
I already knew that.
They let me go...
But they're totally stalking me.
Do they seriously think I can't see them?
Whatever.
Neither Phryne nor Nessa are here anyway.
Was this room always so big?
I don't have my own doppel.
I didn't really like the idea of having an avatar.
That's why I didn't want her telling me all that.
Touch doppel...
Search.
Oh, it's been developed.
I knew Nessa was one.
Let's see.
The processor manifesting the doppel determines the pressure and effect...
It's been traded on the black market as a sex toy?!
That really would make me a pervert!
But you have to transfer the target doppel's data into your body to touch them...
Transfer data?
I didn't do that.
Clain.
We have to talk.
Sit down.
Hey, Clain.
We shouldn't keep secrets from each other.
If you're worried about something, we want you to talk to us about it.
Together, we'll work something out.
What are you talking about?
We get the feeling that... you're not quite yourself lately.
You go to strange places, and...
You know, bring girls home...
That's different. Phryne-
Clain.
Your father and I let you have a house because we trust you.
So we want you to be more responsible, Clain.
If you're so worried about what I'm doing, why don't you live here with me?
What are you talking about?
We'd tie ourselves down and lose our freedom.
We can all live free as birds because we understand each other deep down.
Isn't that what family is?
If we lived together in the same house, it'd be a sign that we don't trust each other.
Clain, you're the one who called Nessa out.
That's why Nessa's home is wherever you are.
We only made doppels in the first place because you're important to us.
That's great and all...
But in the end you just do whatever you want.
Clain, something really is wrong with you.
You've never opposed your father before.
Right.
Clain.
Maybe that's how it seems to you because there's something wrong with your doppels.
Huh?
For some reason, I've done nothing but run the whole day.
Something wants to come out.
Something wants to come bursting out of my mouth when I run like this.
I'm alone now.
It wasn't fair to blame it on my parents.
I know that well.
It's because they bother you.
It's because they mess up your plans.
That's why, Nessa...
It's time for the eight o'clock prayer.
The direction of the temple is approximately 20 degrees to your right from where you are facing.
Prayers? Yeah, right.
You're just collecting my data.
Now, let's pray.
But...
If I were to offer a wish to the day star
My wish...
Do I want to meet Phryne?
Do I want to tell Nessa I'm sorry?
I don't know...
But...
I don't want this.
I don't want to be alone.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Nessa's smile wasn't scary at all.
Clain, I'm home!
It wasn't scary at all. Rather...
Welcome home.
Clain, you're so warm.
That's my line.
How can these guys be so easy to read?
It's a treasure chest, Clain!
No, wait!
Ow...
You fell for it, simpletons!
Does that really count as falling for it?
They got us.
It's time for extraction, boys!
Roger!
Extraction?
We're flying!
Go!
