01x13 - For the Sake of the Shadows Family

[bunniefuu]

Rolly, heed this call if you're there.

Where is Emilico?

Please respond!

Mistress Kate!

Mistress Kate!

Emilico!

In here, Mistress Kate!

Emilico?

Where are you? Where are you?!

Emilico!

Are you all right?!

Let's take this off.

Mistress Kate!

It's a relief to see you're safe.

Let's get out of here.

Behind you, Mistress Kate!

What?

So, you're here at last!

Mistress Kate.

Edward.

It was well worth the wait, Kate.

I was sure you would come,

for you are a shadow who

truly cares for her doll.

So it was Kate you were after all along.

Come morning, I'll bring you

before Lord Grandfather

and expose you as a malcontent

and enemy of Shadows House.

Then I'll likely rise to the third floor,

my long-cherished wish.

Now, Kate, answer me this.

What is it you're planning?

If you think you'll get away with this

by not answering, you are mistaken.

Even if you're not a malcontent,

I can accuse you of breaking the rules.

After all, I found you dressed like

this in Lord Grandfather's wing.

Kate is here to save Emilico,

whom you abducted.

Do you truly think he would believe you?

I'm an adult, and you're but a child.

It's obvious which one

Lord Grandfather would believe.

The outcome of our battle

was decided from the start, Kate.

Now, let us wait for

Lord Grandfather to wake.

A harsh penalty no doubt awaits you.

This may be your last cup of tea.

Say your prayers.

It's all over for you.

Kate! John's coming for you!

"For the Sake of the Shadows Family"

"For the Sake of the Shadows Family"

What floor was it again?

What floor was it again?

Who are you?!

Go away, you creepy little thing.

John, I mean, I am seeking Edward's room.

You want me to follow you?

Who would fall for?

There were two extra carts.

That means two intruders.

Let's keep our eyes peeled.

I will inform Edward.

They must be disguised as veiled dolls.

I-I shall search for the intruders!

It spoke.

Get back here!

Now you won't cause any more trouble.

Not a sound.

It's so cute!

I'll expose them all for

the malcontents they are.

That will ensure my

advance to the third floor.

Behaving yourselves?

It seems you finally conceded defeat.

It's beyond foolish to defy Shadows House.

But it's too late to rue your mistake.

Your last cup of tea has gone cold.

Oh, my bad. You can't drink it

in your present state.

Now!

What the--

Emilico!

Hey, wait!

No, it's John.

Master John!

You came to save us.

Naturally.

But now John would like some help.

What do we do now?

You again?

She's on our side.

Hurry!

Did you find John?

No, I believe he went to the

other wing to save Mistress Kate.

Of all the harebrained ideas.

Let's hope he doesn't

do more harm than good.

What of Louise and Lou?

They were weary and

returned to their rooms.

You're all no help at all.

They should be back by now

if it went as planned.

This is most worrisome.

I'm sorry it's causing you such concern.

However, I believe in Master John.

He will return with those two.

But then Edward will no doubt--

That will be Patrick's cue

to spring into action.

How can Patrick stop him?

Oh, no, it's just

Apologies for being so incompetent.

Master Patrick, I think your desire to

save your friends is second to none.

Your greatest power is your

brave and beautiful heart.

If so, it's because of you.

During the debut,

you tearfully pleaded with John

and Shaun to take care of Patrick.

Master Patrick.

The roof?

You mean it wants us

to escape by jumping?!

Our wing is pretty far.

Now I have you!

Do not resist.

It is all over for you,

for you have defied Shadows House

and entered this wing without permission.

Not before you trespassed

in the children's wing!

Who is going to believe

your word over mine?

Kate! Take Emilico and jump!

What about you, John?!

Just go already!

Why are you still flapping your gums?!

Emilico, hold on tight.

Yes, ma'am!

Give it up, Kate.

Your soot power will

not take you that far.

They'll end up plunging to their death.

A fitting end for a foolish malcontent.

That's what you think!

John is not about to let Kate perish!

Don't you ever

underestimate John and company.

Aileen!

John is not about to let Kate perish!

We might not make it.

Mistress Kate, please forgive me.

Having to hold on to me

is a terrible burden for you,

Mistress Kate, and for Master John.

Now is not the time for that.

Emilico, be still!

Mistress Kate.

So something did go wrong.

This is the only way in or out.

Look!

What the--

Mistress Kate! Emilico!

Over here!

Slowly now! Don't panic!

Oh, no!

You're safe.

Not yet!

Edward.

Run for it!

Kate, what happened to John?

He used his soot power to send us flying.

But he may be unable

to move because of it.

Mistress Kate!

Edward.

You've been nothing but trouble!

This is the children's wing!

We won't let you just do as you please!

Who do you think you're speaking to?!

Know your place!

If you wish to survive here

in Shadows House,

dispense with this

inane sense of friendship!

Now, surrender to your fate, Kate!

And if the rest of you continue

to bar my way, I'll discard you all!

What exactly does that mean?

You didn't go to bed?

Change of plans.

Calling Barbara was

a fine idea, was it not?

Now Louise is sure to be a Star Bearer!

That's just like Louise.

That's strange.

You live in Lord

Grandfather's wing, Edward.

Yet here you are in the children's wing.

What is the meaning of this?

Explain yourself.

I'm instructing them firsthand!

That's my job!

What sort of instruction

is done at daybreak?

You said, "I'll discard you all."

How is that instruction?

Even as caretaker,

unauthorized entry to the

children's wing is forbidden to you.

The third-floor lords have

already been informed.

What's this?!

They await you at the end of the corridor.

This is all thanks to you.

You so kindly instructed us

to carefully watch over

this wing each day.

That allowed us to expose

your serious violation.

We're so very grateful.

I am truly sorry for what I have done.

It's too late to bow down

and say you're sorry.

Edward, you are hereby

banished from Shadows House.

Banished, you say?

Naturally.

You say you were instructing the children,

but you entered their wing to abduct them.

No, that was--

You dare question us?

You became a liability by making the faces

fret over trivial matters at the debut.

Shadows House has no use for you.

It only needs those who can be

of service to Lord Grandfather.

Edward is banished.

As for the other two, how about

a demotion to the first floor?

It's settled, then.

What say you, Lord?

Edward, your bold and unique instruction

of the children was of great interest.

However, it seems you

have carried it a bit too far.

To all three of you, we give you

the sternest of reprimands.

You got that? This is your last chance.

Yes, sir. I shall devote

myself body and soul.

Were we not too lenient?

The potential of Shadows House

is as yet manifold.

That was a close one.

And yet, this puts the

third floor further away.

Edward, you must cease

your self-indulgent ways.

I have not given up yet.

I sense love and great hopes for me

in that magnanimous judgment.

I will repay this debt.

I hereby vow to get rid of

those fiendish malcontents

along with those third-floor maggots.

It is all for the sake

of Lord Grandfather!

What is it, Emilico?

It's hard to believe we're allowed to

venture outside our rooms so openly.

And it's such a joy to

walk by your side like this.

Is that so?

But I wonder. What do you suppose

happened to Master John after that?

That is as yet unknown.

As the newest of the bunch,

you should have been here first.

Apologies. Everyone arrived so quickly.

John, you're safe and sound!

John hung on for dear life

to the tail of Edward's

soot pigeon, that is!

It was thanks to that

strange little creature.

How interesting.

Come to think of it, where's Louise?

O Kate, most beauteous rose!

O Louise, daisy in full bloom!

Let the orientation begin.

You shall learn how to lead

proper lives at the manor!

Thank you.

Ready here!

Mistress Kate, what do

you suppose that thing was?

What thing?

That cute little creature that helped us.

Yes, that was quite unusual.

How did it know about Kate's soot powers?

Mistress Kate? Is something the matter?

Perhaps

Let us ever remember.

The Shadows are an

outstanding family of nobles.

To serve them is the pride

and joy of every living doll.

One must never forget one's eternal

gratitude to Shadows House.
