♬ I'll go with you ♬

Thank you for your kind attention!

That video was from five years ago.

As you just saw,

I have been operating till now in order to fulfill my mission

of making everyone happy with my singing.

Mainly at a place called NiaLand.

Really? I've never heard of it!

I've never heard of it, either.

I've been, but I didn't see you there.

Now, now, settle down.

You should know she was very famous!

Here, at the AI Museum--

Hey! Sing something, will you?

I am sorry, but that won't be--

Oh?

Come on, don't put her on the spot.

It's time to move on, so let's all thank her, class.

Okay...

Thanks!

Bye!

66 years--

Osamu!

Hurry up!

Let's go!

Tour program, complete.

Please return to the specified coordinates, and stand by.

Well, that's a woeful face if I've ever seen one!

I would never guess you were the same person as the one in that video!

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

Matsumoto.

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

It is indeed I, after five years--forgive me!

Making it 45 years and six months since we last met?

I have been waiting for you all this time! What do I have to do next--

Hmm? What's going on with you?

The Singularity Project is all that I have now--

I see, so that's what this is about.

You've retired, I hear?

The original songstress AI, Diva, retires.

I hear the ceremony was quite the extravaganza.

Although the fans weren't happy about being deprived of a farewell concert.

After retiring, you were donated to this AI Museum,

where you serve as an exhibit.

But no one has ever heard you sing.

Have you... lost the ability to sing?

Even now, I'm not sure.

How I can pour my heart into my singing.

Even though I'm supposed to make everyone happy with my singing.

Like Diva that day...

Once that thought crossed my mind, I found myself unable to sing anymore.

That is why I only--

Unfortunately, you can no longer work on the Singularity Project.

Why not?

There is nothing wrong with me except for the singing! Even my body is--

The reason being...

The incident with Ophelia turned out to be the final anticipated Singularity Point.

Do you know about Ophelia's double suicide?

Yes, I know.

About the uproar that followed, too,

when people claimed that they both had souls just like humans.

How is that different from the original history?

Even so...

Unlike in the original timeline,

there were no AIs who followed their example.

In hindsight, there's no denying

that it was a positive revision in terms of the project.

Our job correcting the Singularity Points is done.

But if that is the case, why did you not go into sleep mode?

What happened to "no altering history unnecessarily"?

Hmm...

Something Mr. Kakitani said has been bugging me.

Through a revelation. A revelation from the heavens.

Not to mention, I have a personal favor to fulfill.

A favor?

For you to be concerned about something other than your mission...

Well, who are you to talk?

Singing was your sole devotion,

yet here you are, championing the Singularity Project,

which you're starting to see as your mainstay, no less?

Well, not that there's anything you can do anymore.

Would you like to race me, perhaps?

Race you?

To see who can accomplish their respective task first.

That does not sound like you.

But I have no idea what I must do to find an answer.

Even though I can never set foot on stage again.

"Pour your heart into your singing."

Why would my developer say such a thing?

Well, the only way you're going to find out is by asking your developer herself.

Vivy?

Hmm...

Well, you just keep on pondering, okay?

I mean, you've got nothing but time, right?

I'll pop in again sometime to check on you.

Come to think of it...

Why did you choose today to come see me?

Have you forgotten?

It was 65 years ago today.

The day that you and I first met.

Can you think of a better date for a reunion?

We will be closing soon.

We will be looking forward to your next visit.

Welcome to the AI aggregate database, The Archive.

Is there still data from my manufacturer and rollout date?

Yes. Would you like me to display it?

Please do.

Understood.

"Sing from her heart"?

Now why would you give her such a complex task?

Because I'm looking for a hint.

Excuse me... a hint?

What is a heart, as it applies to us humans?

As the first autonomous humanoid AI, I'm curious as to what her answer will be.

That's what I'm looking forward to.

That's not what we're looking for in this project.

I'm not sure that adding an ambiguous term like "heart"

to her computing process--

It doesn't matter how it turns out.

Even if having a heart in her own way...

leads her to resent us humans, I'd have no problem with that.

Now then... I wonder what kind of singing she's going to treat us to?

Your mission is to make everyone happy with your singing.

To accomplish that, you must sing from your heart.

Um, excuse me?

Please forgive me. How may I help you?

Um...

Your name is Osamu, correct?

You were here yesterday on a field trip.

How did you--

That is what your teacher called you.

Um... so did you retire because you couldn't sing anymore?

Um...

You were the first-ever songstress AI,

and you were popular, so why did you retire?

That was the only reason I could think of.

Are you saying that you knew about me despite being so young, Osamu?

That's just common sense.

My classmates not knowing about you-- that's what's messed up.

You are correct.

I am here now because I found myself unable to sing anymore.

Not even one song? Even though it's your mission to sing?

Yes.

I really wanted to hear you sing in person, Diva.

I am sorry.

In that case, Osamu... would you like to race me?

Race you?

I am searching for answers as to what it is I must do...

to be able to sing again.

Will I find the answer first,

or will you bring some friends here first?

B-But I don't really care about friends, you know--

Right. I am aware of that.

But will you still accept the challenge?

As having someone to compete with will help me to try harder.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Um, can I come again even without any friends?

Of course you can.

I look forward to your next visit.

Not even a single song?

When I used to be able to sing over a million existing songs...

Could this be more pathetic?

Archive?

Yes?

Are there any songs written by AIs in the past?

I have found more than 100,000 songs.

Would you like to look over them?

No. Not songs that humans had composer AIs or bots write.

Are there any that were written by AIs of their own free will?

No such songs exist.

I see.

Long time no see!

What are you doing there?

Since I could not find any existing songs in my drive that I can sing now,

I thought that if I wrote one myself, then maybe--

How simplistic!

Don't tell me that's what you've been doing for a whole year?

What kind of song is it, by the way?

Wait, you can't be serious!

Please tell me there's more to it than that!

Would you please shut up?

What this song is about... Who I am going to sing it for... I have no idea.

Wouldn't you say you're making a headlong rush into a dead end?

At this rate, there's no telling when you'll be done.

Or whether you'll be able to sing it if you do finish it.

What about you? You have not taken care of that favor yet, have you?

Well, I would advise you not to overdo it.

Impossible. I must try anything and everything to fulfill my mission.

Taking such a roundabout route will only get you so far, I'm afraid.

Well, I'll drop by again when the time comes.

Like next year, maybe.

Yes. See you next year, on the day we met.

Diva?

Osamu?

Have you found your answer?

No. Nothing has changed.

I see.

I am sorry. I should try harder--

No, I'm not judging you or anything. It's just that...

I feel sad not being able to help you.

What is her name?

It's Luna. She's partly named after my wife Nana, see.

Little Luna?

Want to hold her?

Are you sure?

Why do you think Nana was able to smile?

When surely no one wanted to see this child grow up

more than her.

I don't know. But she did tell me how much she was looking forward to it.

Seeing what path this child would take,

what would make her laugh, make her cry, and what kind of people she would meet.

Diva...

All humans die one day.

But they all remain inside someone, no matter what.

My wife is still here inside me, even now.

I'm going to leave it all to you.

So I'm going to see it through to the end.

Welcome to the AI aggregate database, The Archive.

Is this song... would it be the Singularity Project, by any chance?

Yes.

That explains it...

I don't know what came over me, but I forgot myself while listening to it.

Why choose to write about the project?

I thought that if it was about the path I have taken,

and who I have met until now

then I might be able to come up with a song.

A song about yourself, then?

Who did you write it for?

It is for Diva. Although she is gone now

she still remains inside me.

She is part of me.

And? You think that this song will enable you to sing from your heart?

If I could sing, I would have sung it already.

Seriously...

I have to say, for someone stuck on a single phrase for years,

you sure cranked it out all in one go!

Did something trigger that, perhaps?

Someone gripped my finger.

Excuse me?

It has been a year, right, Matsumoto?

Sorry to do this to you when you came to see me

but I am going to sleep a bit.

Huh?

For some reason, I feel sleepy.

See you next year.

Hey!

Do not worry... I will wake up if any visitors come.

Well, you did just finish the task you've been burdened with for 20 years.

I suppose your computing circuits need some respite, too, eh?

I've fulfilled my promise, Diva.

Well, not that Vivy could've sung it, either,

so I guess we'll have to put the results of our race on hold.

Good night, Vivy.

I hope our paths will cross again someday

in a future where there's no war.

Diva?

Music data?

I see.

So you've done it.

Good work, Diva.

I want you to take it easy for now.

The next time you wake up, I'm sure I'll get to hear your voice--

Mr. Matsumoto? Excuse me--

Right, I'm on my way.

Please hold on a second! What is going on--

"NEXT TIME" "EPISODE 11: WORLD'S END MODULATION - APRILL 11, 2161"

The Singularity Project has ended in failure.
