I missed you...

Vivy.

I am Antonio!

AS YOU LIKE MY PLEASURE

I was born aiming for the light

Bound by a bond, a thin string

From the fortune of awakening for a mission

Spinning many proud memories

Into this world, for your sake

Gratitude and a bouquet filled with the universe

Destiny, even fate, please let them shine

The joy of being able to protect those having fun and smiling

I admire, I am admiring

I can become stronger

I want even my crying voice to be heard like a song

To these dazzling times

I'd like you to entrust tears too

"EPISODE 9: HARMONY OF ONE'S HEART - MY MISSION, YOUR FUTURE"

Antonio?

"EPISODE 9: HARMONY OF ONE'S HEART - MY MISSION, YOUR FUTURE"

You overwrote Ophelia's personality program with your own data?

No, that wouldn't be--

Possible, you were about to say?

Am I not proof enough?

Why would you do such a thing?

Obviously... for the sake of my mission!

Antonio!

Ophelia was tasked with the mission of making people happy with her singing.

And my mission was to support her.

But the burden proved too heavy for such a young girl.

If what I wanted was to truly save her,

then I had to guide her away from the clutches of evil,

before Antonio, the foolish AI, came into existence.

Now that's old-school fallacious reasoning for you.

Why did you come here?

To remain true to your mission, you only need to keep singing.

So why would you opt for self-destruction?

Why would you kill Ophelia twice?

Antonio!

Shut up!

Remote control?

Huh...

It's been 40 years.

I've been waiting for this moment for 40 years.

Who are you?

I'm still talking to the fake version, then, Vivy?

How rude of you. My name is Diva.

Not Vivy.

Oh, no, you're Vivy. You're just asleep now, that's all.

And so I'm going to drag you out by force, if that's what it takes.

That logical palette is specially-built. It doesn't belong in this era.

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

That logical palette is specially-built. It doesn't belong in this era.

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

Not even your partner, the Cubeman, has a prayer of disabling it.

Why are you doing such a...

Why go after Vivy?

Do you know how they hold funerals for AIs?

How awful for him, to be involved in that accident.

Yes, the funeral-goers do mourn the AI.

But they may as well be security cameras, the way they lay every detail bare.

They played the video. My teacher's final logs were exposed.

It was all so twisted. Holding a funeral for him as if he were a human,

yet not allowing him to go out with dignity--what kind of logic is that?

Did they all want to treat him as a human?

Or did they want to treat him as an AI?

Everything about it was revolting to me.

Why are AIs like you and my teacher ever born?

What are you say--

I was young then, so I thought that every AI in the world should be removed.

As Toak held the same beliefs, I became a sympathizer.

But then I met you.

You, who uttered the same words as my teacher.

I want you to tell me.

The reason why I left Toak, and why I took over this body

it was all so that I could get an answer from you!

Come on, wake up! Vivy!

And answer me! Finding out what that answer is--that's my mission!

Finally found you!

What the--

Matsumoto!

Cubeman! How did you find this place?

Embarrassing though it is, I used analog human-wave tactics.

I've blown past triple digits in number of body cubes.

You're still you, right?

Of course!

To the window.

One...

Two...

"VOLUME OF COMBUSTIBLE GAS INDOOR SUPPLY"

Three!

Ugh...

I've got to keep crunching numbers until the rest of my bodies can catch up to her!

How sluggish!

This is--

an electronic warfare program!

Purge!

What on Earth?

This program is--

A present from one of my fans!

Someone we're both acquainted with, Cubeman!

Huh... Mr. Kakitani?

When did you ally yourself with him?

Not enough body parts, and erratic processing.

I've been there myself, Cubeman!

Your partner seems to be struggling badly.

My data--that processing power is off the charts!

Who intervened to allow you--

You can't choose anything besides your own mission?

You damned defective AI!

Do you have any idea how much time and effort

I expended for the sake of my mission?

Unenlightened audiences,

colleagues who knew nothing about the value of singing!

Even my partner Ophelia was no exception!

You came to stop her from self-destructing?

Don't you dare speak of my noble mission

and your own lowly mission in the same breath!

Vivy!

I told you before! It's my mission!

Don't think you can escape! Don't think I'll let you!

"COMBAT PROGRAM"

Which part of "I'm not Vivy" don't you get?

I have no use for you!

If you're a songstress, then your only job is to sing--

just stick to your mission, AI!

Don't intrude into human territory any more than you already have, AI!

Enough with the jokes. I'm an AI.

Just like you said, every inch of me exists for the sake of my singing.

My mission is to make everyone happy with my singing.

Every songstress in that venue is operating

for the sake of that same mission.

Singers pour everything into their songs.

For the people who've come to hear us.

That's right, we pour everything into it.

Including everything about the me that you know that I don't know myself.

I'm here to carry out my mission.

So that I can pour everything inside me into my song.

Because if I don't...

Someday, when you become a member of my audience,

I won't be able to sing my very best for you.

Curse you!

I never thought I'd hear such irrational processing after 60 years.

It couldn't be more irrational!

You did quite the job baiting me.

Telling me that your own mission was noble, while mine was inferior.

I see, I see. It actually is, more than I ever imagined.

It's really annoying when someone points it out to you, isn't it?

As a result of your epic calculations, you discarded your partner.

I feel you, you know.

You have no idea how many times I nearly did that myself, even just today.

However...

I'm glad that I didn't.

I came this close to turning into you.

Right now, as an AI, you couldn't be uglier.

What did you say?

The reason I came here was to stop Ophelia from self-destructing.

But that wasn't my mission.

My mission is to carry out this project with my partner.

Now they've finally all caught up with her.

Meaning I can dispense with

the extra calculations and throw all of my resources at you!

Just how many humans do you need to draw before you're satisfied?

Vivy, too?

Reluctantly, yes.

I thought that you were flailing with an entry-level problem,

but you do have some redeeming qualities!

Let's go!

The Singularity Project...

We're carrying it out!

Diva!

Thank you very much.

Now allow me to return the favor!

Carry out the Singularity Project?

Give me a break! You're Diva.

That mission... belongs to Vivy!

"REBOOTING"

Only Vivy! The one who has an answer for me is Vivy. So you--

What is it that you want me to say?

What?

What did you want Vivy-- no, your teacher to say?

Stop it!

It's all over for you now.

You have no chance of surpassing me now.

No...

You're wrong!

Ophelia's singing... that's nowhere near what her voice is capable of!

Why do you all have that look on your faces?

Why do you all look so content?

I yearned so to be who she was, so why is it that I can't pass for her?

What was Ophelia feeling as she sang on?

So that someday, I can become a singer worthy of you.

I'll do my best, okay?

Don't try to understand humans, AI!

Don't expect anything other than what you're ordered to do!

If only he hadn't... that day my teacher wouldn't have--

Answer me, Vivy. I want to hear your answer.

O... phelia...

Ophelia...

I will see to it that your singing...

...will be heard by more...

No, that's not it.

What I...

The truth is... what I really wanted was for you

to sing only for me, and no one else.

Antonio...

I always felt the same way, too.

The one I wanted to make smile most of all...

Antonio... it was you.

Smile, Antonio.

That's all that I ever...

How ironic is that?

I'm the bridge between humans and AIs, and look what's become of me.

I'm not going to criticize the choices you made.

That said...

How did you find out about the Singularity Project?

You made contact with Antonio, and you threw us off balance.

Not to mention, that logical palette is way ahead of this era.

Through a revelation. A revelation from the heavens.

Revelation?

After Vivy went into sleep mode,

and I'd lost my purpose in life, I received a revelation.

That on this day, 40 years in the future, right now, I'd get my last chance.

Does that sound like I'm ducking the question?

No. I believe you.

Just tell me, will you? Songstress AI... just like Vivy...

That day... the day the teacher saved my life...

Did my teacher... did he suffer the same way a human would have?

Or did he...

Don't you forget.

That there were humans

who suffered because you existed!

Don't you for... get...

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

Diva! Just hold on. I'll analyze that virus right now!

What about Ophelia?

I was able to prevent her suicide.

Really? Good for you! So you weren't all talk--you did carry out your mission.

I should get going myself, then.

I'm really cutting it close here.

Are you out of your mind? There's no time for--

Don't sugarcoat it.

You know just as well as I do, don't you?

I'm going to disappear.

This will be my final performance.

I know that may seem nonchalant to you, but--

I assure you, it doesn't.

I am well aware that you're true to your mission,

and that in that respect, you're no different than I.

After all, I am--

Vivy's partner, right?

Please, Matsumoto.

Let me carry out my mission.

If you're going to save the future,

then let me deliver my song to those waiting

for the five minutes that I can give them.

Take good care of Vivy... of this girl for me.

The answers...

We still haven't gone over the answers yet.

My song... is my answer to that.

Check her dressing room again--

Sorry I'm late!

♬ I arrived here with you ♬

♬ Overcoming thousands of storms ♬

♬ Right when we finally understand each other ♬

♬ Farewell comes ♬

♬ Endings and passing each other, why do they happen ♬

I know you're here.

♬ When I shout, stomping my feet on the earth ♬

Well, I'm just going to go ahead and talk, then.

Since it looks like time isn't on our side.

♬ Something similar to a fruit swayed by time ♬

♬ I obtain a seed of the answer ♬

Great singing, even if I do say so myself!

♬ YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE ♬

I'm always perfect, but today, I've gone beyond perfect!

♬ My dearest one, ♬

Because at last, I've found what it was...

♬ I notice even if we're apart ♬

that was missing from my voice.

♬ Always WE ARE ONE ♬

♬ Life and resonance, ♬

♬ it begins once again ♬

I don't know much about what happened to you.

For a chatterbox, he can be really tight-lipped, you know!

♬ Giving up as anger, ♬

♬ into the cracked emptiness ♬

♬ Thunder that seems ♬

He looks like a tool. He's hyper-critical.

♬ like a hint reverberates ♬

He's such a nag, always going on and on about the future and our mission.

♬ If you still stayed next to me ♬

That's our partner.

♬ You'd scold me and ♬

So try to get along with him.

♬ tell me not to lose, right? ♬

It's okay to bicker along the way, all right?

♬ YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE ♬

I'm going to leave it all to you.

Both my mission, and the future ahead of us.

♬ My special one, ♬

I couldn't rest easy counting on you alone,

♬ I can tell even if we're apart ♬

just as I'd be worried if it was Matsumoto on his own, so--

♬ Always WE ARE ONE ♬

I'm willing to compromise if it's two for the price of one.

♬ Intertwine, branch out, ♬

♬ and intertwine once again ♬

Looks like time's up, huh?

♬ Where have you come from? ♬

♬ A sparkling bird flies under the sun ♬

Right, one last thing before I go.

I hear that you've been struggling?

♬ The wing's spiral shows on the glass ♬

Wondering how you can pour your heart into your singing?

♬ Looking up I gasp for breath ♬

You still don't get it after hearing this song?

♬ A world gazed down from a bird's-eye view must be wonderful ♬

Tell me... can you hear me?

♬ Wailing, smiling ♬

Can you hear how wonderful I sound, singing this song right now?

♬ We surely must be nearby ♬

All right, the rest is up to you!

Vivy!

Thank you for your kind attention!

I don't understand... Diva.

I have operated till now in order to fulfill my mission

of making everyone happy with my singing.

Have you lost the ability to sing?

Even now, I'm not sure.

How I can pour my heart into my singing.

You are no longer capable of working on the Singularity Project.

Would you like to go to war with me?

"NEXT TIME" "EPISODE 10: VIVY SCORE - SINGING FROM MY HEART"

Good night, Vivy.
