00:17.590 --> 00:21.690
Hey, what's got you moping around out here?

00:23.180 --> 00:27.280
Say, I hear you learned 
how to use your instrument.

00:27.280 --> 00:28.610
Nice work.

00:28.610 --> 00:29.850
Looks like you'll—

00:29.850 --> 00:30.980
It's Gris!

00:32.880 --> 00:34.930
That guy got Gris.

00:35.370 --> 00:37.450
How the hell do you expect me to act?

00:37.800 --> 00:41.210
Up there, I couldn't save 
the person who saved me.

00:41.210 --> 00:42.980
It's the same way here.

00:43.520 --> 00:44.940
Why?

00:45.990 --> 00:50.120
I start to think I've changed, 
that I've moved forward,

00:50.120 --> 00:52.360
but then the same damn thing happens again!

00:53.240 --> 00:56.020
Am I just going to be this way my whole life?

00:57.290 --> 00:58.450
Damn it!

01:00.620 --> 01:03.420
Gris knew what he was getting into.

01:03.720 --> 01:06.170
He put his life on the line for his team.

01:07.140 --> 01:10.340
He didn't protect you 
because you're a Sphereite,

01:10.340 --> 01:14.490
but because he saw you as a kindred spirit
 who cares about objects and people equally.

01:15.690 --> 01:17.580
Anyway, come on inside.

01:17.580 --> 01:19.250
Give Gris your respects.

01:24.750 --> 01:28.710
<b>Episode 8</b>

01:24.750 --> 01:28.710
<b>"Moving Forward"</b>

01:30.460 --> 01:33.950
Congrats on awakening your power, Rudo!

01:33.950 --> 01:36.050
I'm so glad you're looking well!

01:43.050 --> 01:44.720
Y-You're... alive?

01:48.300 --> 01:50.440
Oh, I get it.

01:50.440 --> 01:54.170
You were all mopey because 
you thought Gris was dead!

01:54.170 --> 01:56.290
I get it all now!

01:56.590 --> 01:58.540
Don't count me out yet, man.

01:58.540 --> 02:00.060
I'm still going strong!

02:00.060 --> 02:02.140
Well, it's freaking confusing!

02:02.140 --> 02:06.030
You took a claw right through the chest! 
Anyone could see that's a death sentence!

02:07.270 --> 02:10.120
Oh, it's because of the Cleaners' medical team.

02:10.530 --> 02:14.330
This little lady here 
was the real star of the day.

02:16.100 --> 02:20.330
Her name's Eishia Stilza, the Cleaners' 
only Giver with a healing power.

02:22.000 --> 02:24.280
I-I'm not usually useful at all.

02:24.680 --> 02:28.880
It just happened... to be able 
to be useful... this time.

02:30.280 --> 02:32.910
Eishia's really shy.

02:33.400 --> 02:34.770
Eishia.

02:37.470 --> 02:40.310
You saved me from certain death.

02:41.650 --> 02:43.180
I can't thank you enough.

02:44.640 --> 02:46.270
You too, Follo.

02:46.690 --> 02:48.920
Don't look so down.

02:48.920 --> 02:54.300
You're the one who got me clear 
of that Raider's berserker fury.

02:54.300 --> 02:55.530
But...

02:55.840 --> 02:57.930
You can't rush your way to becoming a Giver.

02:58.340 --> 03:00.120
Keep going at your own pace.

03:02.040 --> 03:03.990
Big Bro!

03:05.370 --> 03:06.670
And you, Rudo.

03:07.220 --> 03:09.170
You did extremely well.

03:09.520 --> 03:13.310
That guy was really strong, and your 
teamwork with Zanka kept him in check.

03:13.310 --> 03:15.190
That's a remarkable thing.

03:15.650 --> 03:17.910
Seriously, don't worry about the talisman.

03:18.390 --> 03:22.020
I'm glad that something I took care of 
could be useful to someone else.

03:22.430 --> 03:25.000
That's the "worth" I assign to things.

03:31.420 --> 03:33.690
Yeah. I get it.

03:34.650 --> 03:35.880
Gris.

03:36.390 --> 03:38.540
I'm really glad you survived.

03:39.110 --> 03:41.050
Anyway...

03:41.050 --> 03:45.370
Looks like the Raiders are actively 
picking fights with Cleaners now.

03:45.370 --> 03:48.170
Which means trash beasts 
won't be the only thing

03:48.170 --> 03:50.470
we can expect to scrap with 
in the near future.

03:50.890 --> 03:51.810
And...

03:52.420 --> 03:54.550
We got some new info.

03:55.120 --> 03:57.650
That Raider mentioned a "border."

03:57.650 --> 04:02.200
It suggests they must be 
doing research into the Sphere.

04:03.590 --> 04:04.700
Who's that?

04:04.700 --> 04:05.790
The boss.

04:07.280 --> 04:10.560
<i>The boss? Did he say "boss"?</i>

04:10.560 --> 04:12.080
<i>No way.</i>

04:12.470 --> 04:16.730
<i>Then this guy is the Cleaners' leader?</i>

04:17.600 --> 04:20.460
A pleasure to meet you, Rudo.

04:20.850 --> 04:23.200
I'm sorry I missed you on your first day.

04:23.640 --> 04:27.570
I'm Corvus. Arkha Corvus.

04:27.570 --> 04:31.000
I've found myself in the position 
of the Cleaners' leader.

04:32.710 --> 04:34.520
Y-Yes sir...

04:34.790 --> 04:40.890
I'd heard you were only staying with us 
temporarily to get information,

04:41.500 --> 04:44.010
and was going to say 
that we can't let you remain...

04:44.860 --> 04:49.840
But you quickly found 
the good in our people here,

04:49.840 --> 04:51.970
and put your life on the line to protect them.

04:52.730 --> 04:57.860
You also have access to a power that 
could very much contribute to our cause.

04:59.270 --> 05:01.340
I don't have a single complaint.

05:02.250 --> 05:05.970
I hereby officially welcome you 
into the Cleaners!

05:11.020 --> 05:13.060
Come to my room.

05:13.900 --> 05:16.690
I've got a change of clothes for you, 
and some information.

05:19.780 --> 05:24.660
The "border," as the name suggests, 
lies between the Sphere and the Ground.

05:25.380 --> 05:31.160
It's said that all who try to reach the Sphere 
die while crossing the border.

05:34.180 --> 05:36.680
Now, here's an interesting story.

05:37.260 --> 05:43.050
It's said that there's a woman who lives 
in the No Man's Land closest to the border.

05:44.650 --> 05:51.290
Once, a traveler got lost in the No Man's Land, 
and the woman helped them.

05:51.970 --> 05:57.150
The traveler asked her, 
"Why do you live in a place like this?"

05:58.490 --> 06:00.370
The woman replied,

06:01.030 --> 06:04.090
"I'm watching the people 
who fall from above."

06:05.800 --> 06:09.870
The woman had lived there 
for many years, watching.

06:11.210 --> 06:12.700
And then the woman said...

06:13.770 --> 06:18.590
There are those who come and go without dying.

06:19.730 --> 06:24.950
There's a chance she's seen people 
capable of crossing the border alive.

06:25.320 --> 06:29.210
So if I track down one of 
the people that woman saw,

06:29.210 --> 06:32.350
I could learn how to get up there?

06:32.800 --> 06:36.620
As well as how you made it 
down here without dying.

06:37.200 --> 06:40.970
Though, of course, 
it will be a dangerous journey.

06:41.360 --> 06:43.790
Will you go, or stay?

06:44.410 --> 06:45.610
Which will it be?

06:46.990 --> 06:48.850
There's no way I'm not going.

06:55.330 --> 06:58.920
Hey, you got your Cleaner's uniform on!

07:00.640 --> 07:02.990
Looks good on you, man.

08:57.870 --> 09:00.330
<b>Six Hours Earlier</b>

09:00.890 --> 09:03.510
Stop it! Just stop, dammit!

09:03.510 --> 09:07.410
You're not supposed to be going to see 
the woman in No Man's Land <i>today</i>!

09:07.410 --> 09:08.930
How is he so strong?!

09:08.930 --> 09:14.680
It might lead to a way 
to get back up to the Sphere!

09:14.680 --> 09:17.640
I've gotta talk to her!

09:14.680 --> 09:18.000
Yeah, but we can't do it now!

09:18.000 --> 09:19.730
Chill out, brat.

09:20.980 --> 09:26.980
You can't just run off into 
a place like that half-cocked.

09:27.250 --> 09:30.150
You're heading straight into 
the center of No Man's Land.

09:30.150 --> 09:36.070
You're just gonna run off without getting 
any info or knowing what you can do?

09:36.310 --> 09:39.160
You got a death wish or something?

09:39.390 --> 09:41.670
Knowing what I can do?

09:41.670 --> 09:44.590
It's nice that you can use 
your powers on command now,

09:44.590 --> 09:49.170
but we still don't know their limits, 
their weak points, any of it.

09:49.170 --> 09:50.870
And neither do you.

09:52.240 --> 09:54.680
You're going to come with me, then?

09:54.680 --> 09:56.360
Hell yeah, man.

09:56.360 --> 09:59.300
It's suicide to go into No Man's Land solo.

10:00.010 --> 10:02.040
<i>You were doing it, weren't you?</i>

10:02.430 --> 10:05.960
Besides, the Cleaners' job is as much 
about <i>researching</i> trash beasts

10:05.960 --> 10:09.010
as it is about beating them.

10:09.010 --> 10:12.230
We've got plenty of our own to gain 
by going into No Man's Land.

10:12.230 --> 10:15.860
We've got to look out for Raiders, too.

10:15.860 --> 10:17.350
Raiders...

10:18.070 --> 10:22.620
Speaking of, how can those
 Raider guys become Givers?

10:22.620 --> 10:26.290
Not all people are good at heart.

10:26.520 --> 10:31.050
Not all people are capable of taking 
proper care of objects, either.

10:31.550 --> 10:35.280
Some people seem good 
but treat objects like shit,

10:35.280 --> 10:38.710
and some people seem bad 
but treat certain objects well.

10:39.180 --> 10:44.020
A person's morality is irrelevant 
to whether they can become a Giver.

10:44.980 --> 10:48.440
Of course, people who 
don't think highly of Givers

10:48.440 --> 10:52.160
sometimes refer to us as "codependent."

10:52.820 --> 10:54.960
Makes sense in a way, right?

10:54.960 --> 10:59.830
Being too obsessed with a single object 
probably looks weird to your average person.

11:02.130 --> 11:07.990
<i>I guess I'd gotten it in my head that 
bad people never took care of objects.</i>

11:07.990 --> 11:09.950
<i>I guess that was wrong of me, huh?</i>

11:10.480 --> 11:13.550
<i>Yeah, but I still hate those guys.</i>

11:14.140 --> 11:16.920
For today, you should probably relax.

11:17.530 --> 11:20.160
It's been non-stop action 
these last few days, right?

11:26.230 --> 11:30.730
<i>He told me to relax... but how do I do that?</i>

11:31.980 --> 11:34.510
<i>I don't really sleep all that long.</i>

11:35.310 --> 11:37.620
<i>Wish I could pick through some trash...</i>

11:41.780 --> 11:43.370
Hey, Rudo!

11:44.170 --> 11:46.620
I'm gonna show you around Cleaner HQ!

11:53.350 --> 11:55.510
The training room!

11:55.950 --> 11:57.670
The dining hall!

11:58.090 --> 11:59.290
The toilets!

12:00.720 --> 12:04.140
It's kinda run-down, 
but it's fully loaded, see?

12:04.360 --> 12:07.640
There's a lot more to see 
than there was in the Sphere.

12:07.640 --> 12:10.150
What did you do up there?

12:10.440 --> 12:16.300
I went with Regto to look at scenery... 
picked up garbage... got yelled at...

12:16.670 --> 12:19.310
They like to yell up in the Sphere too, huh?

12:19.310 --> 12:21.410
Don't worry. Got plenty of that down here, too.

12:22.420 --> 12:24.600
What did you eat?

12:24.600 --> 12:27.410
Stuff like bread... soup...

12:27.410 --> 12:28.910
Any sweets?

12:30.230 --> 12:31.420
Sweets?

12:31.790 --> 12:32.960
Sweets.

12:35.620 --> 12:39.100
Sweets were only for people with money.

12:39.820 --> 12:40.860
We've got some.

12:46.270 --> 12:47.490
We've <i>got some</i>.

12:50.880 --> 12:54.170
There's a group of people 
on the Ground called Vianders.

12:54.170 --> 12:57.570
We Cleaners sometimes buy from them.

12:57.570 --> 13:00.390
Oh, he came by to eat sweets?

13:00.390 --> 13:03.240
Yeah. Says he's never had any.

13:03.240 --> 13:05.150
I dunno how it is up there,

13:05.150 --> 13:08.410
but here, sweets are way 
more popular than drugs.

13:08.410 --> 13:10.390
Don't get addicted.

13:10.970 --> 13:15.340
Rich people food... and so much of it...

13:16.190 --> 13:21.190
Because of all the pollution, 
it's hard to grow crops down here,

13:21.190 --> 13:25.240
so the Vianders collect Givers 
who specialize in cooking.

13:25.630 --> 13:30.730
Thanks to them, we might have more 
sweets down here than they do up there.

13:31.900 --> 13:33.460
Go on. Try one!

13:51.960 --> 13:54.700
What the hell is this?! It's great!

13:54.700 --> 13:56.970
Didn't think he'd take to it <i>that</i> well.

13:56.970 --> 13:58.960
We've got a budding addict.

14:00.100 --> 14:02.460
<i>Never had anything so good before!</i>

14:02.460 --> 14:03.970
<i>I can't stop!</i>

14:04.310 --> 14:07.730
Go easy, man. You're gonna get fat.

14:21.810 --> 14:23.670
<i>What's with this guy?</i>

14:24.420 --> 14:25.820
<i>Don't tell me...</i>

14:25.820 --> 14:28.080
<i>He's after the sweets?</i>

14:29.830 --> 14:33.260
<i>But... I wanna eat more too...</i>

14:36.950 --> 14:39.420
Here. You can have it.

14:52.640 --> 14:54.560
What's with this spoiled brat?!

14:54.560 --> 14:55.540
You're one to talk.

14:55.540 --> 14:57.280
Hey, Dear!

14:57.280 --> 14:58.850
Sorry.

14:59.520 --> 15:04.110
<b>And now—</b>

15:00.670 --> 15:04.110
Riyo, you gotta make up 
for what you did to Rudo.

15:04.110 --> 15:06.850
There's no way I could've known 
he'd end up like that...

15:07.220 --> 15:10.040
Anyway, it's nice that 
he found a thing he likes.

15:11.950 --> 15:16.160
Didn't think he'd burn through 
our whole stock of sweets, though...

15:18.500 --> 15:21.310
What's that loser gotten himself into now?

15:27.180 --> 15:29.180
Hey... Hey...

15:29.180 --> 15:32.570
We got an invader or somethin' here!

15:32.970 --> 15:34.730
Hey, shithead.

15:54.940 --> 15:57.360
Can't use your instrument again?

15:58.000 --> 15:59.760
Oh, man.

15:59.760 --> 16:03.330
Did you get so high on sweets 
you forgot how it works?

16:03.330 --> 16:05.210
C'mon, no way...

16:05.210 --> 16:07.740
I thought we were gauging your powers,

16:07.740 --> 16:10.200
but I guess we're gauging 
the success of your diet.

16:10.200 --> 16:12.870
Glad you can move around again, at least!

16:16.040 --> 16:17.770
<i>What's going on here?</i>

16:17.770 --> 16:20.740
<i>I remember how it's supposed to feel, but...</i>

16:27.800 --> 16:31.930
You liked to fix up things 
people had thrown out, right?

16:32.820 --> 16:37.510
If that's the basis of your powers, 
maybe you need garbage...

16:38.930 --> 16:43.070
some kind of broken object 
for them to trigger.

16:48.550 --> 16:51.050
See if anything speaks to you here.

17:18.750 --> 17:20.020
I did it.

17:20.610 --> 17:23.120
Looks like Zanka was on the money.

17:23.610 --> 17:26.380
Nice work. You're an excellent trainer.

17:30.730 --> 17:34.740
A mediocrity can be more objective 
than a natural talent.

17:35.190 --> 17:37.310
Don't underestimate 
the brains of a mediocrity.

17:37.760 --> 17:39.310
Thank you.

17:41.390 --> 17:43.750
Man, you tick me off.

17:43.750 --> 17:48.030
Let's see if you can make 
multiple weapons. Get to it.

17:54.620 --> 17:55.740
Guess he can.

17:57.310 --> 17:58.760
He did it again!

18:00.340 --> 18:01.750
You're a real cheat—

18:07.850 --> 18:09.770
Yeah, thought so.

18:10.150 --> 18:14.930
He gets a nosebleed if he uses his 
instrument too many times in a row.

18:14.930 --> 18:16.220
Crazy.

18:16.220 --> 18:20.550
Guess those gloves' quality is so immense, 
his body can't keep up.

18:21.710 --> 18:23.040
Quality?

18:23.590 --> 18:27.300
The longer an object is deeply cared for,

18:27.300 --> 18:29.880
the more seasoned and superior 
an instrument it becomes.

18:32.060 --> 18:36.070
We call that "improving its quality."

18:36.540 --> 18:39.880
The better the quality, 
the more power it can bring to bear.

18:39.880 --> 18:43.570
Quality isn't everything 
in a fight, of course—

18:44.040 --> 18:48.380
The experience and mindset of the user 
influences the form its abilities take,

18:48.380 --> 18:49.910
and that also plays a big role.

18:50.310 --> 18:53.340
Both are important, I guess you could say.

18:53.810 --> 18:59.600
<i>Yeah, if he's been caring for 'em since he 
was a kid, they'll be pretty high in quality.</i>

18:59.600 --> 19:02.580
<i>But would it affect him physically that much?</i>

19:03.650 --> 19:07.770
<i>Or has the "series" 
got something to do with it?</i>

19:09.180 --> 19:10.270
But then...

19:11.910 --> 19:16.120
Why did the object I turned into 
a weapon fall apart in the end?

19:17.550 --> 19:20.780
The ones I did now are just fine.

19:21.140 --> 19:24.630
Even when I switch between them, 
they stay in one piece.

19:24.630 --> 19:26.840
Is there a time limit?

19:29.390 --> 19:31.390
I wonder...

19:33.070 --> 19:36.510
Maybe it's a "purpose fulfilled" kind of thing?

19:39.170 --> 19:44.270
After all, your power's about bringing out 
the "full and uninhibited worth"

19:44.270 --> 19:46.770
of an object someone broke 
or threw away, right?

19:47.340 --> 19:52.550
When you recycle them like you do, 
you're letting them fulfill their true purpose.

19:52.550 --> 19:54.000
That's a really cool thing.

19:55.290 --> 19:56.650
Their true purpose?

19:57.130 --> 20:02.910
That's true. It fell apart when 
the battle was over and Rudo felt safe.

20:03.240 --> 20:06.950
That could be a part of Rudo's power, yeah.

20:10.190 --> 20:14.370
To draw the full worth of garbage 
and broken things—

20:14.370 --> 20:17.050
let them fulfill their purpose 
and lay them to rest.

20:18.200 --> 20:20.270
Yeah, sounds right.

20:20.270 --> 20:22.530
I think Riyo's on target, here.

20:23.220 --> 20:28.020
You didn't break Gris's talisman 
or the other things you turned into weapons.

20:28.430 --> 20:31.760
You let objects retired too soon
 go out in a last blaze of glory.

20:37.320 --> 20:39.150
<i>I see.</i>

20:39.590 --> 20:42.690
<i>My power's not about breaking objects.</i>

20:43.530 --> 20:49.350
Though, actually, he said something 
about your gloves being a "series"...

20:49.350 --> 20:51.170
What was that about?

20:52.490 --> 20:54.200
Series?

20:55.320 --> 20:58.490
So there are more out there like them?

20:59.910 --> 21:01.090
But why would...

21:02.100 --> 21:04.100
Do they have a name?

21:05.090 --> 21:06.350
A name?

21:06.870 --> 21:08.100
Yeah.

21:08.270 --> 21:09.860
<b>The Ripper</b>

21:08.610 --> 21:12.500
When you love something, you name it, right?

21:09.860 --> 21:11.610
<b>Umbreaker</b>

21:11.610 --> 21:13.190
<b>Lovely Assistaff</b>

21:14.600 --> 21:17.080
I never even thought about it.

21:18.970 --> 21:21.870
You're going to have to give them a name.

21:41.410 --> 21:43.430
We're back, boss.

21:49.320 --> 21:53.290
The Cleaners... the City of Art...

21:53.860 --> 21:56.020
The Desert Altar...

21:56.590 --> 22:00.260
Vital instruments... series...

22:02.920 --> 22:05.500
The Watchman series.

22:08.300 --> 22:09.960
Rudo.
