Original subtitles

Mechanical friends, Amicus Robots.

A general name for androids.

Amicus are imprinted with the Laws of Respect.

To respect human beings.

To be obedient to human commands.

To never attack a human being.

The starlight I've been searching for

Is plucked away before my eyes

The ending's shadow was surely watching

From the depths of our dreams all along

Thinking about what true sadness is

As we hide our empty hearts

Our vision gets blurred by the light

Of the fireworks bursting inside us

Again and again

As if to take it all away

An aimless branch reaches out

Endlessly bringing to light

The stagnant pain

In the world we trample

Facing each other here, losing it all

As everything becomes nothing

My heart dances in the air

The root node correlating

They fill up and turn into light

Just like this

Even our destination disappears

Only to heal endlessly

Our regrets burning

A quiet hole

Within us

In reality, the Laws of Respect never existed in the first place.

Echika, it's been a week.

Didn't you promise to report on your condition?

The neurotransmitter-regulating cartridge is still an unlicensed device.

Though, I got it from a Bio-hacker I trust.

Even if it's a medical device, it might not work for you.

I'm fine.

There's no side effects.

I'd like to keep using it, but...

I don't think you can heal your PTSD from being kidnapped that easily.

You should be seeing a specialist, you know?

I've got all sorts of restraints,

and Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft would worry

if he knew I wasn't doing okay.

So...

I feel the same way too. That's why I'm helping you.

Sorry, looks like my dad's back.

I'll send more cartridges by next week.

Thanks, Bigga.

This is also part of my job as a CID private collaborator.

Just kidding.

Treat me to something delicious the next time I visit, okay?

You're back, Dad.

He can't find out I know everything.

I need to use this to prevent him from noticing it through my facial expressions.

Confidential information on the perceptional crime case has been leaked.

CYBERCRIME INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

It was posted on the anonymous message board TEN.

"Suspect of the perceptional crime case,

Elias Taylor, is manipulating people's thoughts using Your Forma."

"The Cybercrime Investigation Department knew this fact, but concealed it.

The enemy is formidable.

However, your wisdom will surely bring victory."

There's no need to say it, but this is top secret information.

The case files are stored under heavy security in our headquarters,

so the possibility of them being stolen are low.

Having said that,

it wouldn't be smart to Brain Dive into each of you as suspects.

Because of this.

E.

Everybody has heard of them, huh?

The name has come up repeatedly in our investigations.

They are an extremely malicious conspiracy theorist.

E does not post from their Your Forma,

but from a device routed through a number of international servers,

or they hacked into someone's device and used it to post,

- making it difficult to trace them. - Yes.

They started posting about a year and a half ago.

At the time, their posts were ridiculed as delusions

of an anti-technology fanatic, and did not garner much attention,

but he or she

now has an estimated few thousand dedicated followers.

The followers are people

who have negative feelings toward technology and Your Forma,

or users who have low opinions about it.

E posts their conspiracy theories online,

which triggered their followers to start investigating the details.

Some of the followers, E entices go as far as to commit crimes.

Do not make any statements confirming any details on this post,

even within the Department.

The case files are kept under strict security.

I do not think E's followers would be able to gain access to them.

That's true.

Cyber-Inspector, let's go to the interrogation room.

Okay.

Cyber-Inspector, were you up late again last night?

Maybe it's the midnight sun, but I can't sleep well.

How about buying more curtains?

I'll look for some really thick ones.

They are suspected international e-drug dealers.

We found this among the evidence we collected

from the villa they were using as their base.

There's no return address,

but it has a Marianne stamp,

so it was sent from France.

A hint you to use for your Brain Dive.

I might be able to find the sender's address.

Let's get started.

- Cyber-Inspector? - Get an ambulance.

- Now! - Stay with me, Echika.

It's a basic decrease of your data-processing abilities.

I say decrease, but in your case, Miss Hieda,

your numbers finally look like the average person's.

You lost consciousness because your brain overheated

due to the sudden stress placed on it.

What are the causes for my decreased data processing abilities?

Stress or psychological reasons, among other things.

This may be difficult for you to hear...

But I can't see your abilities returning to your previous levels,

so you may want to reconsider your job.

What did Chief Totoki say?

Were the suspects' Your Forma tampered with?

It has nothing to do with the suspects.

It was just because I've been under the weather.

However, that cannot logically be the only cause for your abilities to decrease.

That's... Darya's going to be worried.

You should go back soon.

I've informed her that I will be late due to the investigation.

I will escort you home.

Thanks.

But I'll take a taxi.

Cyber-Inspector, please rely on me a bit more.

You've done more than enough.

I cannot simply leave my partner behind.

Cyber-Inspector?

Cyber-inspection Assistant Lucraft,

I've been relieved of my duties as a cyber-inspector

and will be transferred to another unit.

You're not my partner anymore.

Has anything been different with Hieda?

If I had to say something,

I suppose she has become a little gentler after that case.

I see.

It seems once a human's processing abilities decrease,

they will not return to their previous levels.

That's right.

There's no treatment for a decrease in data processing abilities.

If a cyber-inspector loses their abilities,

the Department's policy is to transfer them to an appropriate department.

I guess that's what will happen to Hieda.

Then what shall become of me?

You will continue investigating the international trade routes of the e-drugs.

With another cyber-inspector.

- Another? - Don't worry.

The new cyber-inspector is also quite capable.

Of course, maybe not as good as Hieda,

but your calculation and logic skills will not be wasted.

When will I meet that inspector?

This is Cyber-Inspector Raissa Robin.

Your new partner.

This is the first time I'm laying eyes on such a marvelous Amicus like yourself.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Cyber-Inspector Robin.

I am Cyber-inspection Assistant Harold Lucraft.

You can call me Raissa, Harold.

Raissa, you are also able to parallelly process data?

Yes. I just recently became able to do it

because my data processing abilities have been increasing.

I'm still not used to it, though.

Data processing abilities can not only decrease, but also increase?

It's supposed to be extremely rare.

I didn't realize I had that capability, so I'm surprised myself.

I'm sorry to hear about Cyber-Inspector Hieda.

I thought she was a genius inspector.

Were you acquainted?

I've only seen her a few times at headquarters.

Every cyber-inspector knows who she is.

But she probably has no idea who I am.

Well, shall we get started?

Do you have any concerns regarding Diving with an Amicus Robot?

Nope.

Rather, it's an honor.

It makes me happy to hear you say that.

Whenever you're ready, Raissa.

Raissa, are you all right?

Sorry.

This always happens.

My doctor said it's a side effect

from the constant increase of my data processing abilities.

There were slight indications of a counter-current,

- but it appears you're fine, right? - Yeah.

I also get a lot of that.

You could've let me fall over, you know?

It is impossible for me to watch silently as you fall.

Such a gentleman.

The suspects' accomplice has a base in Paris.

Looks like I'll be going back to headquarters.

How busy, returning to your home country just as you arrive.

Did I tell you I was French?

Not just your name, but your features and pronunciation gave it away.

Your Amicus Robot is a female, correct?

You enjoy taking walks with her on your days off.

I heard from the chief, but you really can figure out a lot of things.

Of course, I cannot deduce everything.

That much was my limit.

Even so, that's amazing.

You're awesome.

ARBAT STREET MOSCOW

CYBERCRIME INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT ST. PETERSBURG BRANCH

INSPECTOR IVAN LUKICH FOKINE

Inspector Sedov, you can make things like omelets at home, you know.

INSPECTOR GERMAN MARKOVICH SEDOV

My health app said I should eat this here.

There you go again,

always doing whatever Your Forma tells you to.

By the way, the calories of that pancake you're about to eat--

Hey, stop. Don't ruin my breakfast.

Are you sure you don't want anything else,

Cyb... Inspector Hieda?

We're on a stakeout.

I can't be enjoying a meal here.

You need to be as disciplined as she is.

Says the man brazenly eating an omelet.

I trust my health app.

It knows me better than anyone.

But E would say this,

"The creator of the health app and this restaurant's owner

are colluding together."

That's not even a conspiracy theory.

Restaurants are not a charity.

There would naturally be some sort of partnership.

Doesn't matter to E's followers.

As long as they have a plausible reason to criticize them.

Hieda, stay here and keep watch.

Tell us if any more followers come.

Got it.

I didn't even get to eat half of it.

You're definitely gonna get fat.

It was crazy.

Excuse me.

He is not a Your Forma user.

Personal data cannot be displayed.

I'm from the Cybercrime Investigation Department.

Can I see your ID--

Oh, really?

Yes. Why not consider watching it?

Okay.

My apologies.

How novel.

Is that a coffee perfume?

It was a small accident.

I was just heading to the showers.

Why do you refuse to answer despite my calling multiple times?

Because I thought you would've already figured out why.

Like you always do.

As I've previously said,

my deductions regarding you are often wrong.

I'm sorry I ignored your calls.

If I made you angry...

I'm not angry.

Under the Laws of Respect,

we always respect you humans.

Are you getting along with the new cyber-inspector?

- Was that her? - Yes, I am.

She is Cyber-Inspector Raissa Robin.

I'm doing fine too.

In the Support Unit. They're all nice people.

I'm glad to hear that.

I will be going to France with Raissa tomorrow.

To the Lyon headquarters?

Okay.

Why are you telling me?

That's right.

I no longer need to inform you.

Exactly.

Well, good luck on your case.

Bye.

Cyber-Inspector Hieda.

I'm not a cyber-inspector anymore.

Are you going to follow me into the shower?

You said you wished to become an equal partner with me.

Then why didn't you speak with me if you had worries serious enough

to cause the loss of your data processing abilities?

I'm not hiding anything.

It was my mistake for not explaining it to you properly.

I'm sorry.

But I'm really not worried about anything.

But even if I wasn't your partner, it shouldn't be a problem for you.

Cyber-Inspector Robin is probably good at her job,

so she's perfect for you to achieve your goals.

- My goals? - If you stay partnered with her,

then you might finally be able to find Detective Chernov's killer.

Who did you hear that from?

I never said I agreed to become your Cyber-inspection Assistant

so I could find Sozon's killer.

Darya told me.

Over six months ago.

Sorry for all the trouble I caused you.

I appreciate all the help you gave me. Thanks for everything.

I hope you'll solve Detective Chernov's murder.

Bye.

Does E have their own community even within the Luddites?

Looks like he came from Oslo, Norway.

He just graduated high school.

And has nothing to do with the two men in the restaurant.

Really?

I was only trying to do the right thing.

Attacking a restaurant employee who hasn't done anything wrong?

They're the bad guys.

E knows everything.

E could be wrong.

No.

Your Forma is destroying everything.

They say you can choose whether or not to sew in that thread,

but in reality...

Luddites like me can't even get a job.

E is always right.

There are lots of people like me back at home.

I'd love it if you could introduce them to me.

I've got nothing more to say.

You can't Brain Dive into me.

Since he said there are others like him,

I think we can assume there's a large community of E's followers in Oslo.

Too bad we don't even have a branch office there.

We just gotta hope the local police won't drag their feet.

I might have another way.

So even the cartridge couldn't help you overcome your trauma.

Well...

I can't believe your data processing abilities decreased

and you were transferred to the Support Unit.

That's why Harold isn't with you, right?

What does Harold think about all this?

He's doing fine with the new cyber-inspector.

She's very pretty.

What did you say?

Don't pretend it's nothing.

I know everything, you know.

That you really like working with Harold.

Hey, Bigga...

What do you want to do?

To do?

If you can go back to being a cyber-inspector,

would you want to partner with Harold again?

If I recover?

Data processing abilities can't be recovered.

What if they can?

I heard there's a way to hack your data processing abilities with Bio-hacking.

I don't know much about it, but if I look into it...

I'm happy to see you're worried about me.

Thanks.

Sure.

I'm just an amateur Bio-hacker.

That's why all I can do for you is make cartridges.

You don't need to.

And recently my dad stopped teaching me more skills.

Why?

Because of my cousin, Clara.

It was my own decision to insert that chip into her because I wanted to help her.

But that took away her future as a ballerina.

My dad even yelled at me about it.

But I still went and said I might be able to heal you.

I almost made the same mistake twice.

I'm such an idiot.

After all, even if I want to help someone,

it's the only thing I know how to do.

In this convenient, cutting-edge era

I can reply to "tell me" in seconds

I disappear all the spam and haters

With one touch

But I feel a strange rhythm

When I'm with you

Am I a crazy living doll?

Are you a mystery?

My armor melts like snow

At the first sign of spring

What is the taste born

From my yearning processor?

Sweet? Bitter? Something else? I'm in an abnormal state

I'm out of control! (Can't stop)

Lu-di-di-dite!

I want to destroy it all!

I don't know how to wipe out

The virus corroding my heart

I miss you, it hurts, fly away!

Hit it with a 1, 2, 3, short circuit

I'm numb, numb, numb, numb

Giddy, giddy up, giddy, giddy up

Lu-di-di-dite!

Every time we touch, the algorithm changes

"That's all humanization," they say

But just turn it into a lie

And dance it away

Don't undo it all

It's fine even if it was The century's greatest error

Lyla...

Finally, I can breathe
