That's the last of them.
Hey, thanks for...
My eyes, what's that for?
Master, why...?
Guri-pon, could you repeat to him what I'm going to say?
Am I destined to lose my way?
All I want is to have fun in my life
All I want is to be with those I love
Ready or not Here I come
I don't care anymore
I just don't know anymore
I wish everything would just disappear
There are days when I think like that
But everything is precious to me
And so I fight on
Today was a tough day
I almost gave up hope
But the truth is I don't want to lose anything anymore
I wish everything would just disappear
There are days when I think like that
But everything is precious to me
And so I must fight
#35 Embrace
What did you do that for, dammit? Are you the enemy?
I'm a shirogane, just like you.
I flashed the automaton's camera at you.
Your retinas are burnt, and will take a while to recover.
-What are they saying? -Can you pick it up?
People call me the "chimney sweep." Guy asked me to come here.
I have a score to settle with Faceless.
I'll go fight him and make him tell me how to stop ZONAPHA.
So you stay here on Earth.
What did you say?
Master, no...
Guri-pon, keep going.
I've fought...
I've fought for a long time. I'm experienced.
I'm well equipped and stronger than you.
Do you realize what you're saying? You won't be coming back.
Yeah, you seem to believe so.
But I know of a way I can come back.
So you wait here and don't worry.
Yeah right!
I've seen so much misery.
Many people died to give me a chance to achieve what they couldn't.
I can't forget them and just live on by myself.
You fool!
The past is the past.
You can't do anything about it.
But you can do something about today.
I know you have somebody you can make happy.
Somebody I can make happy?
If we followed your logic, no human could ever be happy.
Everyone would have to live on bearing the weight of the past.
The world would be full of people not allowed to be happy.
What's important is now, this very moment.
Think from your heart, right now.
And make her happy.
For your own happiness.
Go, Kato.
I'll go up instead.
Hey, I'm not done with you.
Get back here, chimney sweep!
Who the hell are you?
A little boy, going up in space? Impossible.
He would never make it.
Narumi could've, but...
-Bring that boy here. -Yes, sir.
Let him go!
You saw him.
Masaru defeated all those automata.
Besides, he would never say anything foolish.
He must have a winning plan, a reason for him to go.
I believe in Masaru.
That's it.
He once had Faceless's memory downloaded into him.
He might be the right one to ask Faceless how to stop ZONAPHA.
But...
Either way,
he's our only hope now.
Resume preparing for lift-off.
Yes, sir.
Are you alive?
Lady Francine is...
I know.
We exist for Lady Francine and her only, until the very end of our existence.
That's really huge on you.
Yeah, this was the smallest one they had.
Masaru!
Lise.
Liar!
Guy asked you to come here? You know a way back?
Those are all lies!
I know, you're going instead to save Mr. Kato.
I begged Mr. Fou to let you go.
Because I wanted you to be able to do what you wished.
But... but...
I'm a liar, too.
Don't go.
Thanks.
But I must go.
I must.
I wanted to know more about you.
There were so many things I wanted to do.
I wanted to go to the zoo with you, and make you a box lunch.
Okay.
Let's go to the zoo next week. Will you make me some rice balls?
I want to talk with you about so many things, too.
When I get back, let's be even closer friends.
Liar.
But, it's a promise.
Commence pre-launch checks.
Today's my wedding day.
I've dressed the prettiest girl in town in a wedding dress.
The priest has come, but the bride has run away.
That's okay, my little bird.
We have all the time in the world.
After you've flitted around enough,
come flying back into my arms.
While I was unconscious, he dressed me up in this constraining attire.
How could I have let him do that?
That's not all. My body feels heavy.
I'm lacking in blood.
But I don't regret it.
Now, I must defeat Harlequin, even if I have to go down with him.
I wonder if Kato made it safely up to space.
Take care.
And make Faceless tell you how to stop ZONAPHA.
It's almost time for me to say goodbye to this earth on which you no longer are.
Right, where has she gone?
Human blood would be the perfect way to toast my wedding.
A human that hasn't contracted ZONAPHA.
Stand back, you puppet...
Nap time for you.
Now, bottoms up.
I won't let you, you puppet.
Not as long as I breathe.
She's...
An angel...
You came flying back after all!
But that little baby is mine.
I'm going to drink it's blood to celebrate our marriage.
Never.
Neither I nor the baby is yours.
I will fight till the end.
Dear, dear. I see I must discipline my wife.
It's no use. The angel is wounded.
She can't move anymore.
Lord, help us...
Lord...
What now?
Another demon...
Kato!
Wow. How did you find us here?
You'd never understand. That woman called for me.
And I wished for that woman.
That is all.
Really? But you can hardly see me, can you?
So I swear on the poop of a poisonous snake,
I'll burn you to a crisp!
Éléonore, tell me where he is.
2 steps to the left, 9 forward!
Too slow.
What?
That antique must've targeted my horn.
Well now, I swear on the dentures of an old man...
10 seconds until lift-off.
9, 8, 7.
Igniting the main engine.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Lift-off.
Yes!
Masaru...
Shirogane!
Where are you, Shirogane!
Shirogane!
Narumi, I am here!
Shirogane.
Narumi...?
Another strong man went to space instead.
I came here for you.
Ever since I first saw you in that circus tent.
Shirogane.
I love you.
Narumi...
There's a light going up.
It's got to be the space shuttle.
Go, go!
Go, chimney sweep.
That's what he called himself.
An incredible guy.
What a perfect target.
Pinball-K's cannon never misses.
I knew something like this was brewing.
Stay out of it, human.
I'm a pro, you see.
Fool!
He made it.
Yes.
My sight is slowly beginning to return.
But when I look at you...
I'm still dazzled.
It might take a while.
Gosh.
How wonderful this is.
To have your soul reach another.
To see the smile of the one you love close enough to hear him breathe.
The two Francines within me are nodding.
Yes, it was like that for me, too.
Yes, as with me.
T-Tears?
What's wrong? You're crying?
I don't know... But I can't stop.
Hey.
I love this man, I really do.
I love him.
I love him so much.
Can this be real?
I cannot believe what I am seeing.
This is it.
The mission for us automata.
What we'd yearned after for so long.
Look, Pantalone.
Lady Francine...
She is smiling.
How beautiful Lady Francine is.
Is she not, Pantalone?
Do you see her?
Oh.
You do.
You see her.
Seems like he's off and away safely.
You took me too lightly.
Didn't think my gun had Fou's special bullets in it, eh?
Took you by surprise.
You should never take a professional assassin lightly.
But I guess a real pro wouldn't take on a job for 10 yen.
I've been hired by the little boy for a hefty sum.
Then I'll hire you too.
For 10 yen.
Leave it to me.
Why...
Why did I say such a thing?
I want to hire you.
Switch to my side.
So.
How much...
are you gonna pay me?
Is that a well?
There's oxygen in here.
Francine.
I'm Francine.
-I'm Francine. -I'm Francine.
Hear that? Her voice is lovely, isn't it.
Even though you took Éléonore away from me.
We meet again, Masaru.
Are you Faceless?
It's nice having a real natural body.
I changed into a body I'd cloned from my old human body's cells.
My previous body was too banged up.
So I live here now, surrounded by the Francines.
And I watch the humans on Earth as they die off.
I plan to just age and die after that.
Is that what you wish for?
I'm fickle and get bored easily.
Now that I can't have Éléonore, I've gotten tired of myself.
Then haven't you had enough?
Save the people of the world.
Please! Tell me how to cure ZONAPHA!
A past that can't become a memory plays on repeat
In my mind is a forgotten thing that I still remember
Questions remain unanswered but I must go now
I walk in the dark, making a promise to my footprints
So many similar beings leading similar lives
Was there a reason for me to be born at all?
The world lost all sound but for the ticking of a clock
A missing heart keeps shouting
A meaningless life was shaking
All because of your unique existence
If the reason for the pain is revealed someday
If you find a home for those tears someday
You shall sleep with the whole universe in your arms
I know it still plays in your heart
The melody that brought you here
