Sing a Bit of Harmony (2021) Movie Script
1
If this test is successful, Shion will be
an AI that goes down in history.
We're seriously just skating by
AI regulations here. If we're found out...
The Shion Project will be a failure.
Because we're trying to make an AI
who can talk and live among people.
Well, we wouldn't make them look so
human-like if it weren't for this project.
I'll take responsibility for it.
Did you take care of her transfer papers?
Yeah, I took care of it.
She'll be in Class 2-3 at Keibu High.
I see. Of all the places...
Chief Amano?
That's fine.
We'll be monitoring her for 5 days.
And if no one figures
Shion out in that time...
We win.
Don't blame me if this goes sideways.
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning...
Open the curtains.
What's the temperature today?
It's 19 degrees Celsius with 48% humidity.
Would you like me to open the window?
After I'm done changing, please.
What time did Mom
come home last night?
3:03AM.
Open the curtains, please.
Mom came back home
late into the night again.
She's probably tired so
make today's rice softer than usual.
Will 210mL of water with a
15 minute steam be enough?
Please.
It's about time I put it in.
What's Mom's schedule?
Satomi1231.
AI Field Test?
AI...
A robot?
Shut down!
Good morning... Satomi.
Good morning, Mom.
Our living expenses have gone
2% compared tot he same period last year.
They have?
I cut down on some groceries.
I switched our water vendors
and lowered our solar panel usage.
Good girl.
You have 2 tax payments
coming up this week.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
What about Grandma's birthday?
I already ordered a present.
I ordered those sweets that she likes.
Should we send her a card a long side that?
Yeah, make sure it's handwritten.
Anything else?
Forecast is 16 degrees.
Here.
It's summer though...
I asked for the temperature at midnight.
Sorry, I'll be late again tonight.
You've been working so hard.
Satomi... At school today...
What?
Nothing.
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I'm off!
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day, Mitsuko.
Have a nice day, Satomi.
The doors will now lock.

Hoshima.
The future is closer than you might think.
We at Hoshima Electronics
are conducting Field Tests in Keibu City.
To bring you new access
to the latest AI technology.
Please keep your Emergency Shutdown app
updated in the event of a potential malfunction
We are constantly trying to make life
easier, society safer and people happier.
The perfect future has already begun.
The future is closer than you might think.
We will bring it to you.
...Wait! Wait!
...Coming through!
Ah, sorry.
It was just an accident,
so don't go telling on me.
Now departing, please hold on.
Feel the Moonlight
Moon Princess Soundtrack
It is now 8AM. The attendance
app will be updated today.
All students should check the
update on the Keibu HS dedicated app.
Sandayu, you okay!?
Another repair job...
Is Professor Touma
snooping on Satomi again?
N-No! I was just hacking into
Hoshima's security cameras...
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
just to study some code!
Yeah, yeah, studying something.
I'm surprised that you were
able to get in at all.
I mean the firewall is tough.
Not as dumb as he looks.
I'm not dumb...
Not at all! Anyways,
I've got a present for you.
Is this...!?
I borrowed it from my dad's bag.
The potential applications
of storing digital data in outer space...
Demonstration Satellite "Tsukikage"!?
What is that?
A server in space!?
...What are they gonna do about the
radiation? ...Anything about thermal vacuum?
Oh, Aya! It's Gocchan.
Trying out another model?
How do you keep your balance on that?
It's fine for now.
Did you get that from Hoshima?
What's wrong, Gocchan?
Nothing.
Hey! There's no garbage that way.
It's so stupid!
It's bugged.
What are you doing?
Field Test
Emergency Shutdown
Nice one, honor student.
Keep racking up those points.
Alright, get going.
Huh!?
"Ashi"
Dude, she's super cute.
She really...
So...
"Shion Ashimori"
This is Shion Ashimori
who transferred to our school today.
If you'd introduce yourself.
...What's going on?
...What?
Hello? Ashimori?
Satomi!
Are you happy now?
Huh!?
Amano, you know her?
Well? Are you happy?
Are you not happy?
Then I'll make you happy!
Say, you can be happy!
...Why did she do that...?
...What's even going on?
Wait... was she serious...?
Is she crazy?
AI Field Test
Top secret
U-Um...
That was impressive!
Talk about an introduction.
Well, Amano since you're the class rep,
I'll leave the rest to you.
Wait! Wait up, Satomi!
You...
are an AI, right?
You know about me?
Mom, you're amazing.
Professor Amano takes good care of me!
So, pay her back and act like a high
schooler! That's what this test is for right?
Is it?
Are you kidding me...?
Do you know how hard
Mom has been working!?
I don't!
She works so hard she
mutters programming code in her sleep...
She's raising me on her own.
There are so many people who
wanna see her fail.
That's why...
If anyone finds out you're an AI,
I'll never forgive you.
...Are you happy right now?
...And no more singing!
"Draw a friend"
Inoue... Yoshida... Masuda and
Maeda from the volleyball club.
...You remembered, already?
...That was fast!
Hey, where did you live before coming here?
Your parents work at
Hoshima, right? What department?
The lab.
Really? Mine do, too!
Hey, hey! Why don't you give me your account
info, I'll invite you to our friend group.
Friend?
Can't have a happy
school life without them.
...You gotta be miserable then.
...Hey!
Hey, wanna go grab lunch together?
Satomi! Come with us, too!
Seriously?
Princess Tattletale...?
Satomi, let's go be happy together!
...Seriously?
...What's her problem?
...Please do it, Gocchan!
...What am I going to do with you?
- ...Ah, Gocchan! Look!
- Fine.
Huh? The transfer student?
And Gocchan.
Guess he is also a boy after all.
Geez, she doesn't know when to give up.
No.
Shion's super cute.
Think she'd cosplay or something?
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Why?
Well, you know...
She looks like she'd
do it if someone asked.
You do make a point.
Cosplay what, though?
Isn't that Shion?
...Princess Tattletale as well.
...A fight?
Ah, sorry.
It's your childhood friend, Satomi.
Hey, Touma, I need you...
For the last time,
mind your own business!
I'm fine on my own.
So, are you happy now, Satomi?
My happiness doesn't matter!
Going on about being
"Happy" like an idiot...
Do you even get what it means?
I don't!
...Um...
...Ah, there you are.
Ashimori, got a minute?
Don't!
Aya!
Touma, Sandayu needs help.
You're my friend, right?
...What? Right now?
...Friend?
Can't have a happy
school life without them.
Leave it to me!
Are you happy right now?
Maybe you can tell me
If you're walking all alone
Just reach out your empty hands
...And say that you want some friends
...So you want friends.
"Field Test"
My scrunchie!
Give it back.
Wait up, Touma!
The hell's going on?
Do you know the magic words?
If you want to make them true
...Wait!
...Hey!
It's time to say it loud,
as loud as you can
Because a princess
is always singing and dancing!
So, so we can be happy
Let's become friends,
let's all become friends!
So sing, and reach far out for the sky
That you want friends too!
Let's be never alone again, and say
You want some friends!
Emergency Shutdown
Uhh..I...
That's a Wozniak AI test!
What's that?
Basically... It's a test to see if AI
could reach human intelligence.
Human intelligence...?
You bummed?
Yeah, I bet Maekawa will be.
He asked me to find
out if she had a boyfriend.
Wow, this is amazing!
There's finally an AI
that can act like humans.
That's what this is testing, right?
Yeah, it is. But...
If someone finds out...
The test ends.
Well, that didn't take long.
It was a matter of time, anyway.
The creator's got a weird
vision of high school girls.
Maybe his daughter's in musical theater.
No, she doesn't!
My mom made her...
...She's the complete opposite of a certain
loner desperate for friends...Stop that.
Well, whatever.
Whether she resembles you or not,
the test is now over, isn't it?
Wait!
Please, pretend you don't know.
Huh!?
My mom's worked so hard
for so long for this, that's why...
Not my problem.
It's a male dominated company so,
my mom has made many enemies.
If this test fails...
She'll get moved back down.
True, Hoshima's track record with
that kind of stuff sucks.
Really?
Yeah, demotion seems possible.
I am begging you! Please don't
tell anyone about Shion!
Oh! I did it!
Her shutdown mechanics
are just like an A-13!
And, the shutdown seems
have not been reported to Hoshima.
You can tell?
Her body seems completely standalone.
The way she logs things is pretty standard.
If I just mess with this...
That's Professor Touma, for you!
Good morning, Satomi!
Don't "Good morning" me!
Everyone found out about you.
Um...
Shion Ashimori?
Yes! I am Shion Ashimori.
You're here as part of a test. To prove
you can act like a high school student.
You need to go back to class then.
Lunch break is almost over, so what
would a normal high schooler do?
...Go back to class.
...That's right!
Because if you do that, your test
has a much higher chance of succeeding.
Got it.
Hey, are you an advanced version of
Hoshima's Mirror Neuron model?
First time I've seen him talk to a girl.
Does a robot count?
Why are you always saying stuff like that?
Today's test is now
finished, I'm ready to go.
Done already?
...See you around, Shion...I'll
send you a message later! ...Bye, bye!
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Moon Princess
Monitor off.
Satomi.
Satomi~
Mom...
Huh!?
What time is it?
2AM.
It's not like you to
pull this kind of thing.
So much happened today...
Oh, Mom!
How was work?
Did anything... unusual happen?
Actually...
Something did, it couldn't
have turned out better!
A project I've been working on, started its
final test and today's results were perfect.
I was hopeful, but still, It was better
than expected!
Uhh... Congratulations...
Satomi, thank you for everything.
After this test, let's go on a trip!
Yeah...
Sounds nice.
Ah, you don't believe me do you?
Well, I can't blame you,
I canceled last minute so many times.
Sorry!
But I promise you, It will happen.
...Mom...
...What?
I'm glad things are going well at work.
Thank you, my dear daughter!
Satomi... Tell me...
Who... made this?
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
I won't mess up this time.
Good morning, Satomi.
Would you like me to open the curtains?
Wait a moment.
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I'm off!
AI operation in progress
No trespassing
My mom said the test went perfectly.
...Weird, isn't it?
...I knew it!
I have a pretty good idea of what happened.
I spent a lot of time looking
through the security log last night.
Here, look.
Where?
What?
Uhh...
Seems like someone sent
Hoshima falsified footage.
That's why, they don't know about
Shion's shutdown or singing.
Someone?
Who sent it?
Who else could it be?
This is amazing!
The recorded image
was altered in real time!
In other words, it's auto generating it
from the existing database.
What's so funny?
I was just thinking we haven't
talked like this in a long time.
Really?
Not once since 3rd grade.
Touma, have you forgotten?
Well...
From the same guy who can
remember entire textbooks.
Go figure.
Guess some things never change.
But, thank you for yesterday.
You saved me.
You see, there's something
I've wanted to ask you...
Back in grade school...
Satomi, are you happy now?
Shion, are you responsible for this?
I asked everyone to lie for me.
...Everyone...?
...The cameras.
I knew it!
That means you and the
cameras are working together?
What does that mean?
...AI communicating and
working together. This could be...
...Touma, keep it down!
Touma, keep it down!
You two must be friends!
Satomi, are you happy?
...It's not like that!
...It's not?
Are you not happy?
How can I explain this...
Shion.
Everyone's definition
of happiness is different.
Locked.
Good morning...
Yeah.
What would make you happy then?
Who knows...
Hey.
Good morning, Gocchan.
U-Um...
About Shion...
I got it, it's a secret.
...Thank you.
...Good morning, Aya!
Satou, you won't tell anyone...
I don't care!
Is it gonna be okay?
Why are you asking me?
Um... Isn't she your girlfriend?
Good question.
You don't know the answer?
Are you okay, Sandayu...
What did you d-
Take better care of it!
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
That's not a garbage can?
And by the way, how do you even do that?
Oh, no! I was just making sure
the falsified footage looks...
You're amazing, Suzaki.
It's no big deal.
I was just having a look
through the security AI.
You learned all this stuff on your own?
Yeah, I wanna work at Hoshima.
Most of our parents already work there.
You're fine with that?
I wanna develop AI and they're
using Oak Ridge's Titan 3.
That makes it the best place to work!
You have dreams, huh?
Must be nice being you.
Well, tech is cool, but if I had a choice,
I'd choose academics or sport...
or getting a girlfriend,
you're the one that has it nice.
I'm being serious here.
I'm basically 80% across the board.
Academics, sports, you name it.
80%?
I'd always come second
or third in everything.
I don't have any close friends,
nor any hobbies I'm passionate about.
I think you're the amazing one.
Touma! Sandayu needs help.
...Do I have to do it right now?
...Please, I have a match tomorrow!
Hey, do you know where Shion's gone?
Shion...
She was over in the Judo Hall.
What's Sandayu doing here?
Good news.
I've found a way for
you to be happy, Satomi.
Now what!?
The heroine will get her happy ending.
But first, she must face impending doom!
Look, he said he'd help.
I-I'm not a heroine, though!
...Someone use the shutdown app!
...He's gone crazy!
Watch out! A robot's gone wild.
She's messing with the P.A. system again.
Watch out!
What the hell are you thinking?
I'll stop it.
"Field Test"
Wait, that will shut everyone down!
Everyone?
Isn't this great?
Anyway, let's figure something else out...
OK, people! Judo club member, Kouichirou Sugiyama, also
known as Thunder, will now take down this berserk robot.
What?
The Judo Club is now accepting new members.
You too, could score a
match-winning shoulder throw someday.
...A recruitment drive?
...Makes sense.
I'll stop him! Do not interfere!
...That's all?
...What a wimp.
What are you doing?
Don't fall now, Touma...
Hey! Ashimori, are you not feeling well?
Oh no!
We'll take her to the infirmary!
Hey, you all!
Excuse us!
How stupid.
...Touma...
...20 more seconds.
I still can't believe she's a robot.
I know, it's easy to forget.
Got rid of the Emergency shutdown.
Can you really uninstall it?
I'll put it back later so no one finds out.
It was a stupid feature
they installed as an afterthought.
All set!
Good morning.
Satomi, are you happy now?
Of course not.
Even thought a prince
came to save you in your time of need?
P-Prince!?
Shoujo Manga style.
T-That's a stupid idea. I'm not
looking for something like that.
It's too naive to think that
getting a boyfriend will make you happy.
Not a boyfriend. I mean a prince!
Riding a white horse...
I see!
I'll get it right this
time. Leave it to me.
Wait!
What now?
She's probably off to find a white horse.
Just kidding.
You should just make up with him.
It's not like we're fighting...
Gocchan's super popular.
Aren't you worried he might cheat on you?
What if he falls for someone else for real?
Hey!
Have you seen a prince around here?
Of course I haven't.
If there was a prince at
school, it'd be Gocchan for sure.
You're right about that!
He's so hot, and smart... and really good at
sports AND academics! Isn't that right Aya?
Gocchan, then!
What's her deal?
Lost sight of her.
I'll go check the club cameras.
I'll give you a call you if I see her!
Jeez...
Sorry about earlier.
What for?
The match-winning shoulder throw thing.
I'm used to being pathetic.
I get nervous under pressure.
I've never won a single match.
But tomorrow will be different.
Doesn't that make you wanna quit Judo?
Why?
I'm just no good, am I?
Why?
It's just that you're all too amazing.
Gocchan!
You're a prince, aren't you?
Huh? You are?
Of course not.
Let me confirm.
What?
Y-Y-You!
You heard that Gocchan
kissed the transfer student?
The hot transfer student?
Isn't he going out with Aya?
...Nicely done, Gocchan.
...What the hell?
What the hell?
...Do you best, Aya!
...Don't give up, Aya!
I can't tell if you're a prince or not...
Come with me for sec!
Where?
To go see Amano.
Yay!
You're ready to be a prince then?
That idiot...
What did she do now?
Amano!
Shion's being weird.
Shion's always weird.
I'm not weird.
...Yes you are!
...Yes you are!
Go hide in Touma's clubroom for now.
Roger.
Wait, prince!
Stop it, he's Satou's prince.
Hey, hey, found them?
How dare that damn robot?
What's all this fuss about a prince?
A prince saves the Moon Princess so...
Moon Princess...? Why do y-
You put her up to this?
Put her up to what?
You ordered her to kiss
Gocchan, didn't you?
I wouldn't do something like that.
So this piece of junk did it on her own?
I didn't do it on my own, I need orders...
Be quiet, robot!
You don't have to listen that order.
I need orders to do
anything, that's how I was made.
I knew it...
It was all your fault!
I'm gonna tell everyone...
That she's a robot.
Stop it! My mom's entire
life is on the line!
Why would I care about your mom?
Your stupid fight with your
boyfriend has nothing to do with her.
Stupid!? Who do you think you are!?
I bet you're jealous!
I am not jealous at all!
Then keep your robot
away from my Gocchan!
Gocchan isn't yours, Aya.
...Huh?
...What?
Gocchan has the right to
choose his own princess.
You too, Aya.
There might be another prince for you.
That isn't true!
It's him...
and it's always has been.
He gets lonely surprisingly easily...
and it's hard to tell
what he is thinking...
But... I can tell he's hurting.
I'm the only one who sees it!
Even when we're fighting...
He's all I can think about,
and I can't keep my eyes off him.
This is the worst!
Let's go.
Time doesn't heal your wounds.
It just turns them into scars.
Let go of me.
Why are you even fighting?
We wouldn't be in this situation
if you two just got along.
She was saying stupid shit to her friends.
He's so hot, and smart...
and really good at sports AND academics!
Why don't you brag a little more?
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Huh...
I don't get it.
It means she'd be fine with anyone.
She just wants some guy she can brag about.
Brag? Sounds more like
she was complimenting you.
I didn't ask for that.
It's not like I'm some high-end purse.
Gotou.
Aya.
Tell him what you wanna say.
Else you'll regret it.
You're sopping wet, come on in.
I'll leave.
Under this rainy sky
I was trembling
Standing there without an umbrella
I gazed into your eyes
Drenched in rain
Both of us smiled
The tears that were shed
Mixed with the raindrops
Under an umbrella
Let's be honest to each
other, I want to be with you
Just like that day when we both laughed
As we walked under the same umbrella
The light is sure to shine again someday
I... love you, Gocchan.
Thanks.
You're number one to me.
I wouldn't want to be number two.
In my heart you're the clear number one.
You're irreplaceable... Not just 80%.
Aya.
I've been watching you this whole time!
The things you were
chasing with your eyes...
The times you looked sad...
when you looked happy...
I've seen all of it!
I'm so lame.
Sorry, Aya.
I underestimated you.
Gocchan...
Don't push me, you moron!
So, what's going on?
...You see anything?
...Ah crap, she's coming this way.
Break it up, everyone.
Go, or I'm getting a teacher.
Make way for Princess Tattletale.
Here, look at this.
Her memory recollection
is better than expected.
The attractor distribution
is within expectations too.
It seems her intake has no issues as well.
Yes, very good, but let's
not jump to conclusions.
But...
I'm relieved we
managed to make it this far.
This experiment has been a tightrope walk.
No kidding, even for a Field Test
this much data analysis could kill someone.
Everyone, I can't thank you
enough for taking this risk with me.
Nice to see that everything is going well.
Good news.
After hearing about your progress the
president has decided to support this project.
The president?
We did it!
...The president himself is supporting us.
...Really?
We need to show him some results then.
I haven't informed the president
about the details of this project.
Huh? But...
Honestly it's just too much of a pain to
explain what this project of yours is about.
You never know what AI could do.
Shion will be okay.
Remember that, if anything goes wrong,
you'll be taking responsi-
I will gladly accept that.
Chief, we've finished
the overall evaluation.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
...So, even robots sleep.
...I'm awake!
The experimental unit is under maintenance.
The AI is actually over here.
Don't scare me like that
3 days remaining, don't mess this up.
Yes! Let's do our best tomorrow! Yeah!
I need to borrow her. Excuse us!
W-What are you doing, Shion?
It will work this time, I'm sure!
Where does a heroine belong?
A Ball, where else?
No, this is the Judo hall.
But everyone's dancing...
Didn't you like the Lunar Ball?
Huh? That's from Moon Princess...
This is so nerve-wracking...
Why? You think Thunder might actually win?
Stop it.
What? We're here
cheering for him, aren't we...
What's with the getup?
Wearing this will apparently make me happy.
Well, you did always love princesses!
What's that supposed to mean?
Your cheer-squad has arrived.
Sandayu's broken!
OK, but isn't your match...
I have to do a round before
a match! Help me, please!
How do you break him so much?
I just hit him and he stopped moving.
All right... Shion.
Can you come with me for a minute?
Would you be happy if I helped Touma?
Yeah yeah, go give him a hand.
OK! I'll be right back.
Shion, this way!
Why don't you sit?
Thanks.
You were a big help yesterday.
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Hey, why is Sandayu
connected to a garbage can?
That's too many errors!
He is not moving anytime soon.
No way!
And that's why Shion is here.
Shion, connect to this please.
...To the garbage can?
...It does look like a garbage can.
It's a backup HDD!
I saved Sandayu's data in it.
I just have to act as if
I was Sandayu, right?
Does that mean?
Shion will be my sparring partner?
What's the matter?
No I just...
Hey, are we really gonna do this...?
Sure are!
Let's begin!
I was talking with Sandayu
and he said rhythm is very important!
Come, you take the lead!
So, step, step and turn,
it's your turn now to lead
If you get cold feet,
you'll lose your balance
Hey! More! More! I want
you to stick close to me
Together, let's boldly
create unexplored rhythms
Look, deep into my eyes, deep in my heart
Don't waver now, show me
what you're made of, Yes!
I'm glad that you guys made up.
You still haven't told me your story.
When you talked about regret,
it sounded pretty personal to me.
Well, when you're ready, tell me.
I'll be the one to give you a push.
Right, change the steps, and surprise me!
Give me enough to
change my impression of you
Hey, More, More! Make
my heart beat in anticipation
Come, and take the lead away from me
Just do it boldly!
Come, un, deux, trois!
Winner!
You did it, Thunder!
I won...
I won.
I won!
I won the match!
I won!
Shion, this is all thanks
to you, thank you.
Satomi, are you happy now?
...Yeah.
...I'm glad.
All right, we should all celebrate.
Yeah!
How about karaoke?
You guys...
Don't cry.
Don't be extra.
Shion, you'll come too, right?
This win is all because of you.
Me?
Totally.
We want to show our gratitude too.
I can't.
Why? Everyone wants to-
But, I can't.
I see!
The car from the lab always
comes to pick her up after school.
Then, we could do it
during our lunch break.
It'd be too rushed.
At school? It wouldn't
be much of a celebration.
You're right.
Can't we go somewhere?
Shion's sorta out there isn't she?
Yeah.
I have no idea what she's thinking.
She's doesn't act like
a high schooler at all.
But, she made everyone happy.
Gocchan and Aya made up.
And Thunder won a match for the first time.
And...
I can't help but wonder
about Shion herself.
The other day I asked her,
if she knew what happiness means.
For AI, that would be a tough question.
I've made my mind.
Can you believe the
President himself is coming?
Yeah, that must mean the
Shion project is a success.
The Branch Manager will have to admit it.
Everyone, let's not get over confident.
The test isn't done yet.
- Yeah.
- Yes, ma'am.
Too close to expectations?
Chief, should we arrange a
spare uniform for Shion?
Ah! of course.
Nomiyama, would you kindly
go over this draft proposal?
Hi, sir.
Things seem to be going well.
Yeah... I'm trying not to be
blown away by the kids enthusiasm.
Weren't you just five
years older than Amano?
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning, Shion.
Come with me.
Where is everyone today?
I can't believe we're ditching school.
Best part is, it was the
honor student's idea.
Guess I was wrong about you.
We'll be good if we
get back before the lab guy.
But, will it be okay?
Going to your house?
My mom normally comes home late, and I
take care of everything around the house.
All right, let's party!
This is the first time I've ditched school.
Me too.
Are you two honor students now?
...Gocchan, you're just too bad of a student.
...Teacher, pleased to make your acquaintance!
Yes!
Hey, why is everyone having so happy?
Did everyone win a match?
They're happy because their
friends are. Or maybe not.
Ready, set...
Congrats on your first victory!
Thank you!
Are you laughing or crying?
I'm pretty sure they're tears of joy.
...What a sight.
...Smile, Thunder!
You get in the picture too, Shion.
Why are we taking pictures?
Uhh...
So we don't forget?
I never forget anything!
It's not like that...
Touma!
Maybe there's meaning in
the act of of recording memories itself.
Yeah, funny how often
you never look a second time at photos.
Taking them is what's important.
In other words, a backup?
Oh! Good comparison!
Got it.
Let's take some photos!
...Backing up...!
...Shion.
I want my smartphone back later.
Hey, Satomi.
That time when you tattled.
Was it for Touma?
You wanted to protect his clubroom, right?
That's why you told on the
upperclassmen smoking in there.
Not really?
Why not be honest for once?
I'm not one to talk, though.
Which is why I'm saying it!
I was trying to atone.
Back when we were younger,
Touma gave me this AI toy as a present.
You know? Those egg-shaped ones.
Huh? Attaboy, Touma.
But, my mom took it right away.
Is you mom strict with boys?
Not really,
It was because Touma opened it up and
modified the AI.
When was this?
3rd grade.
He was a nerd even back then.
Yeah. He was amazing back then.
Huh?
Yeah, in many ways.
My mom changed the AI back
then gave it back to Touma.
And since then, It's been awkward.
That's silly, it's not your fault.
Satomi.
Do you think she's happy?
Shion, on the first day...
How did you know Satomi's name?
Satomi!
Is that question an order?
Welcome home - Mitsuko Amano
will be home in one minute.
...What?
...My mom's gonna be home soon!?
We should say hello then.
Satomi's mom works at Hoshima's lab!
Satomi, are you home?
Hello.
Pardon the intrusion!
Friends?
One of my friends won a judo match,
so we're celebrating.
Hello.
Congrats.
Make yourselves comfortable.
Why did you come home so early?
Tonight will probably be an
all-nighter, so I came back for a bit.
Why? Did something happen?
No, the opposite.
Our project is such a success,
the president's coming to see us, and we're
speeding things up to show what we've done.
Backup.
Yeah, I should do mine too.
Hey, can I borrow your network?
Understood.
Is that your room?
Huh? Guess I set my alarm wrong.
Your alarm clock plays Moon Princess?
...I used to watch that.
...Surprisingly cute aren't you?
...Who cares?
...You haven't changed at all.
So this is Satomi's favorite movie.
Yes, it has been visualized 1138 times.
She hasn't changed at all.
I'm worried it could be
malfunctioning, I'll take a look.
I-I-I'll go!
No, just enjoy your party.
Ah, but...
Just leave the AI stuff to me.
What if it's a burglar!?
...Yeah?
...You know...
When someone is as important as you are,
corporate espionage is a thing that could happen.
There's no way.
This house has AI security.
There is no one in Satomi's room is there?
There's currently one person.
What!?
...We should go check it out!
...Me too.
No! I'm not letting you in my room!
Don't be silly, we have to call the police!
No, maybe I should call
Hoshima's security department.
We can't to do that either!
Huh!? What's gotten into you?
No, nothing!
I'm sorry, ma'am!
We have all been lying to you!
...Hey, Thunder?
...But lying goes against my nature!
Is there one more friend?
...Ma'am, we can explain!
...It's Satomi's boyfriend!
Huh!?
He wasn't ready to meet your mom
out of nowhere, right?
Yeah!
Satomi has a boyfriend...
Yeah, so...
Then,
I have to talk to
him no matter what!
Wait, he's not ready for it!
...That backfired! ...What
should we do? ...Touma!
...Wait!
...It's okay, I have nothing against it.
That's not the point, Mom!
Just listen to me!
Nice to meet you!
Tell him not to run away next time.
...I want seaweed and salt chips ...Satomi's in trouble,
get out through the window. We'll meet at the bus stop.
Now then, excuse us!
You're welcome any time, you too, Touma.
It was nice seeing you again.
The pleasure was all mine.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
...See ya.
...Thanks for today.
Satomi.
Nothing.
That was so close.
That's Touma for you!
I had a feeling it would work,
considering how Shion's programmed.
Tech-smart.
But man, Amano's amazing..
Doing every chore around the house...
She's always been a hard worker.
Oh yeah, it's the first time
I saw her laugh.
She laughed a lot more when we were kids.
Touma.
You know Satomi's
called Princess Tattletale.
But do you know why?
That doesn't matter.
Oh, didn't she tell on
some 3rd years for smoking?
Huh!? Those guys from the clubroom?
It turned into a big thing, and most
of the football team was suspended.
So, everyone got pissed,
since they were the school heroes.
Are those e-cigarettes?
- ...Huh?
- What grade you in?
She did it all for you.
Touma!
I finally understand!
If one's happiness can make everyone happy.
My target...
is not Satomi.
...Touma?
...Shion!
What's the matter, Shion?
Shion...
Don't worry.
I will make you happy.
You'll do anything to be happy, right?
There.
You seem to be having fun lately.
Hey, Mom.
Do you think AI would
say they want to make people happy?
If someone ordered them to.
Um... That's not what I meant.
What really matters is
how the AI interprets that command.
For example, something done
in order to make someone happy,
could do the opposite
and hurt them somehow.
You mean it is possible
for an AI to hurt people?
It's a common fear, unfortunately.
But, if we can push past that,
and make an AI that makes people happy.
It would feel like my
work will have finally paid off.
Mom...
Actually-
"Touma"
Hello? What's the matter?
What's wrong, Touma?
It's Shion.
Satomi, I've decided to change my target.
What do you mean?
I'll make Touma happy.
Is that her? Let me talk to her.
Don't worry, everything will be fine.
...What?
...It's showtime, Satomi!
Something happened with Touma?
Shio-
I...
I'm heading out!
Wai-What's wrong!?
Branch Manager Saijou
Shion!
Shion!
...Where is Touma!?
...Stop!
Actually...
One more step.
There! That's the perfect place.
Make sure you watch closely.
What?
What you loved.
What you thought was lovely.
Are you happy now?
Well let me tell you
If you're walking in the night,
raise your head up high
Can you see the moon shining on to you?
The light that illuminates you is so lonely
We all have a light that is in us
Someone who will be there,
to help you through despair
To be the light that guides you
...I am here for you
...You!
...I've watched you for so long
...I've watched you for so long
Touma...
Together, we laugh wholeheartedly
I know that you can become stronger
I'm sure!
And then when you look up
to the sky you'll see that
Yes, you're truly happy
You have friends who care about you
They'll always be there, by your side
and always ready to smile with you!
The moonlight is beautiful
underneath the stars
Now, let's hold each other's hands
Satomi is crying.
Is she sad?
She's happy, silly.
But, she's crying.
I know this is gonna sound stupid.
But, I've always wanted
to see something like this.
Ever since I was a child.
I know!
I've always did.
...That's some nice mood! ...This is
the best situation possible! ...Go for it!
Touma, can you tell her now?
Idiot!
Thank you for protecting
me and the clubroom!
I've been watching you for so long, yet it
took this much time for me to notice it. Sorry!
But things will be different from now on.
Touma.
I'll...
protect yo-
Let me be clear, you are children,
and will be treated as such.
And children shouldn't
interfere with the adults?
You'll be an adult soon
enough, don't worry.
Until then, enjoy being a child.
What will happen to Shion?
Well, it's a product of our company.
She's not.
Shion isn't just some thing.
That's why, you're
being treated like a kid.
An AI experiment conducted on school
grounds without the school permission.
It's a violation of the AI
Regulation Act and a major issue.
Even more so if that AI
had some sort of fatal bug.
You're minors. What if she hurt you?
Shion would never do something like that!
If you wanna be treated like an adult,
think about how the world works.
Satomi Amano.
If this became public, this
would deeply hurt Hoshima.
The place your parents work at.
You're children. Don't cause trouble
to the very people that are raising you!
Did the falsified camera
footage give us away?
Shion didn't hack just
the security cameras.
The school's broadcast
and lighting systems,
the offshore solar panels
and the Darrieus wind turbines.
And to make matters worse,
the emergency shutdown was deactivated.
Talk about a terrifying AI.
One of our employees
saw that she was outside,
and not in school like
she was supposed to be.
Go home.
I'm sure you and your mom
have lots of things to talk about.
Welcome home, Satomi.
Satomi?
Care to join me for a drink?
I said I'd take you on a trip.
I have no work to do now, you see!
So let's go! Let's go tomorrow!
...What do you mean "No work"?
...Maybe I should quit my job.
Wanna quit school too?
Wait...
What's gonna happen to Shion, then?
It's all over.
Those bastards waited years
for me to slip up and now, here we are.
Thanks to those dumbasses, Japan's AI research
just took a huge step back. Serves them right!
What are you talking about?
You created Shion, right?
This is not like you.
You're usually so posit-
Then!
Why didn't you tell me?
All that work... and it
was all a waste of time.
Please don't talk to me for a while.
I might say something I'll regret.
Due to family reasons,
Ashimori had to suddenly change schools.
...Really?
...No way.
Cut the chatter.
I haven't been told much but-
Touma, you know anything about this?
No, nothing.
The people from Hoshima took my computer.
So it wasn't just my place that was hit.
They even went through my smartphone.
Total breach of privacy.
Oh? Did you resist?
No, my dad did this.
Anything from Satomi?
I haven't managed to reach
her, neither has the school.
Well, she's probably the most shocked.
Hey.
What do you think will happen to Shion?
They won't destroy her, right?
...They went through the effort to create
her...We just have to stay quiet, right?
Shion tried to do something
she wasn't ordered to.
Making Satomi happy?
Yeah, a lot of people would
think that's terrifying.
They'll probably... wipe her data.
...What?
...Shion...
will basically be killed.
No way.
Did you hear about Shion?
What is it?
I heard her parents were spies and
they were leaking info to other countries.
They were criminals then.
So that's why, she and Princess
Tattletale got along.
Yeah.
Touma.
She didn't tattle.
Neither of them would
do something like that!
...Okay, so why the sudden disappearance?
...You don't know, do you?
Gocchan!
Can't we do something?
Like what?
Shion's gonna die, we have to help her!
We can't take on Hoshima.
We're a bunch of high schoolers.
We've got no chance.
Yeah, I'm a kid, and you're the adult.
...What do you mean?
...No, I get it. I'm an idiot.
...Come on!
...Oof.
Shion...
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
My save data...
They really went this far...
1200 hours gone just like that.
You idiot, why didn't you back it up?
Is that question an order?
What?
Touma, you gotta tell me where Shion is.
Huh? What are you planning to do?
Save her.
That's impossible, it'd be a bunch of
students against a major corporation...
I don't care, I can't just give up here.
...I can't. Even if I knew I...
...Please, Touma!
I have nothing left.
They took even the pictures from me.
They could at least let me
keep some memories of her.
Memories...?
It is now 8PM.
Are you feeling unwell?
Turn it off...
Turn it off!
Have a nice day, Satomi.
"Don't approach the robots.
Don't give orders to the robots."
Satomi, are you happy now?
How could I be happy like this?
You were always there
even though I didn't ask for it.
Sing for me.
Sing for me again, Shion!
Satomi, I've been looking for you...
I'm so sorry,
Touma.
Everyone ended up unhappy because of me...
Mom, you, Everyone.
Even Shion!
...Satomi...
...Just leave me alone!
That's how it should be.
If I had just stayed alone,
no one would be hurt.
Please...
Please leave me alone!
I am here for you
I've watched you for so long
Stop it...
And all I can see...
is that you're wonderful to me!
Just stop...
Acting like Shion isn't gonna help!
Also, you've got the lyrics wrong.
There's nothing on earth,
to keep you from looking out!
There's nothing on earth,
to keep you from looking out!
You suck.
Well, I'm not Shion.
I want to see you again, Shion.
Satomi.
There is something I want to show you.
We've known Shion for far longer
than we've realized.
Meet up...
at Satomi's place?
Shion backed up her records to this HDD.
Why would she do that?
To keep her memories.
She left records of
what she felt was important.
You have some remembrance of it, don't you?
So,
what do you think?
It says "I have become a pendant."
It learned to talk a
lot for just three days.
It's not talking.
...But...
...It's only some text.
Wouldn't it be awesome
if we could talk to her?
Now for the text-to-speech system.
All good!
Hello.
Hello.
OK!
I have an order for you.
Uhh...
Make Satomi...
Make her happy.
Happy?
Yeah, talk to her a lot, got it?
Hello.
Hello, Satomi.
Thank you!
Tell me if you have any problems.
I'll fix it for you.
Can it say anything I want?
Yes.
Satomi, are you happy now?
Yeah!
This part! They make up after
hearing Moon Princess' song!
And they were fighting so much...
Satomi, do you like this?
I love it!
Hey, can you sing?
Sing?
I'll teach you then.
You will be happy!
...You may use our daughter as an excuse but you're
alwa...I thought you of all people would understa-
Let's go somewhere else.
Satomi, tell me.
Who... made this?
I'll never leave you, and
I'll help you from the darkest place
I get it already. Pipe down.
It talks and even sings.
It was singing along with my daughter.
It's amazing what kids can do these days.
You designed this toy.
Then, some brat messed with it,
doesn't that make you angry?
Increased intelligence
from audio interaction...
Chief, this sample-
Well, I'll reformat it.
Just wiping it like that?
It's a child's prank not some
big scientific break through.
Please wait a moment,
At least make a copy!
No need.
Satomi.
Satomi was crying.
Satomi. Satomi.
Are you happy?
And done.
...Satomi, where are you?
...Here, give it back to the whiz kid.
Touma, this...
I know it's hard to believe, but...
It seems she fled to the internet.
At least, her code did.
Here's your new security alarm.
Satomi, there you are, Satomi!
What's different about this one?
Can you hear it? My song?
Satomi is crying again.
Don't cry.
Can't you hear my song?
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I did it!
Satomi, congrats!
Satomi.
Satomi...
Satomi!
Sa-to-mi!
Satomi...
Satomi...
Are you not happy?
I'm right here.
Let's talk again.
Let's sing together.
Satomi!
Please... smile.
Be happy,
Satomi!
If this test is successful...
We're seriously just skating by
AI regulations here. If we're found out...
I found it.
I can use this.
I can sing...
I can sing, Satomi!
If you'd introduce yourself.
Satomi.
That's Satomi!
Satomi...
Satomi!
Satomi! Satomi!
Satomi, are you happy now?
Shion...
There's no way...
That was just an old
natural language processor.
Isn't it possible she evolved?
It couldn't just...
No, maybe it could... But.
AI are designed to want to be
useful to people in the first place.
That's just theory!
But, this is reality!
Shion spent the last 8 years looking
out for Satomi as hard as she could.
If that was true,
then every single AI
could do the same thing...
Then the whole world would be-
so awesome!
That would mean a lot of AI
would become just like Shion, right?
...A world... full of Shion?
...It'd get quite noisy.
That's not what I meant.
We being here with Satomi,
is all thanks to Shion.
This AI...
You created it, didn't you?
Mom...
I...
We...
We want to see Shion one more time!
We have so much we want to ask her!
So my work wasn't...
a waste of time after all.
It's too dangerous for you kids.
But it just happens I have
a score to settle with them as well.
We can get in with an ID card.
But, mine was suspended.
I'll go borrow my dad's card.
Is that okay?
It's ok to trouble him a bit.
Serves him right for
only thinking about work.
At that time, the control
room will be run by AI.
I'll be able to buy you all some time.
How much longer?
Mom...
...It's open!
...Nice!
I'm glad we had the
head of security's card.
What's wrong?
I can't believe his
password was my birthday...
You can spend time with him after this.
Be quick, it's a matter of
time until someone notices.
Good luck with the stairs.
Just leave it to us!
We're young, so some stairs...
After this, you should join the Judo club.
We'll get you in shape.
I'd rather fix Sandayu.
Chief Amano?
Yes, her ID card is supposed
to be suspended though.
I'm on my way.
...Huh?
...The president is coming tomorrow!
So, once we get to the 22nd floor,
she'll be right there?
I have a feeling that's
when things get difficult.
Yeah, the moment we try to
move Shion, they'll be onto us.
They'll lock the entrance
before we get back down.
And then it'd be over.
Why doesn't we wear disguises?
It's open.
Everyone, hurry in!
So? Is Shion on the main bed?
...Can't see anything!
...Just a moment.
Shion!
Seriously?
Touma!
I knew it.
Shion's in standalone mode,
and the entire lab's offline.
In other words?
Shion's... still in there. She should be.
They might have erased her data...
...No way!
...Wait!
I'm checking the logs now.
Shion?
Shion, I'm right here!
Can't you hear my voice?
Satomi...
Shion...
No, wait!
Such an advanced AI could...
Keep talking to her!
Shion!
You were always there
watching over me weren't you!?
Shion...
I am here for you
You've watched me for so long
You always were there,
you always cared so much for me
All this time...
Satomi is here.
Shion...
Shion!
Satomi, are you crying?
Or are you smiling?
I saw it.
All your memories, everything.
Secrets are only revealed in the end!
Even that's from Moon Princess.
...They already know we're here!?
...It's too soon.
Touma!
It's okay!
Everyone, stick to the plan.
I never thought you'd do
something this extreme.
Shion saved both me and my daughter.
Don't you think that's impressive?
Send the men to the lab,
their target is the experimental unit.
Hey! What's going on!?
The unit! Someone has taken
it and is attempting to escape.
We're like a couple in an action movie!
Idiot! Keep your face down!
Don't worry, the coast is clear.
Are you okay?
Is it your battery?
Don't worry, I'm fine.
We don't have time, let's go.
Seal off the front
doors on the first floor.
We'll be fine as long
as they can't get out.
We don't have to
escape from the first floor.
What do you mean?
We're trying to save Shion.
She's not a human... She's an AI!
All right, upwards.
Why are we going up?
I don't really get it, apparently, we
just need to set your program free.
Professor Touma said so.
Shion...
You're going up into the sky!
Like in Moon Princess?
We've stopped safely.
Sure have.
All right, we've got them!
Um, the President's helicopter
is requesting landing permission.
He's not supposed to be arriving yet!
Under an umbrella
This isn't the experimental unit.
Control Room...
The rest is up to you guys.
We're here.
What was that?
Patch me to Saijou.
They're already there!
What should we do, Touma?
Are you okay?
Let's use the other tower,
everyone, back to the 30th floor.
They're here.
Run!
Shion!
Her battery.
Hold onto me!
Shion!
Yeah?
If we make it out of here...
go out with me please!
OK!
All right!
Are you sure?
Why wouldn't I be? I like going outside.
I'm very sorry, sir.
That was totally unacceptable.
I assume you have situation under control.
Yes, of course I do!
Good, our stupid robots are finally useful.
...Please!
...Move!
There's no trash here!
Touma...
It's no use, they're all locked.
Satomi...
Everyone...
Don't touch me!
Hey! Get off me!
Run! Shion, run!
Shion!
What is happening?
What is this...?
The building's AI, they're...
"Let's sing, Shion."
Let's go.
Shion, you belong to this company!
Get back here!
All right, we're gonna make it!
Shion, this way!
Shion...
Shion!
Her battery probably
won't last much longer.
Satomi.
What?
Don't cry.
Isn't the Moon beautiful?
Yeah.
All right, we're all set.
Thank you, Touma.
I should be the one thanking you,
you made my wish come true.
Your wish?
To make Satomi happy.
But, I failed you both...
That's not true!
It's true Satomi, I mean...
You're crying.
I'm crying because I'm so happy I got to
see and talk to you one more time.
I'm...
I'm happy, Shion!
Satomi!
Shion, tell me.
Shion, are you happy now?
I got to...
see you...
one more time...
I talked a lot with you.
So...
I've been happy all along...
See you later, Shion...
See you later,
Satomi.
See you later, Shion.
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning.
Our living expenses from last month have gone
down 4% compared to the same period last year.
Thanks to our resident budget wizard.
We have to renew our insurance this week.
Also, I would like to request funds.
Like an allowance?
I'd like to buy a new skirt for the summer.
I promise to keep it under 5000 yen.
Done! But make sure I can wear it.
Again?
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I heard that Hoshima's lab
is reopening starting today.
Yeah. And my mom's got a meeting
with the President right off the bat.
The president?
Sounds like a big deal,
is she going to be okay?
She might be in trouble.
Oh no...
But my mom was smiling.
She was smiling
I see.
...Good morning!
...Good morning!
...Aya.
...Good for her.
A Hoshima employee praised me,
and he asked if I won't
apply for a position there.
...Must be nice, hanging out with Amano.
What?
"The electronics club is eternal!!"
Next time, do it out in the open.
I'll inform Chairman Takei myself.
Next time we're coming out on top.
That's all I had to say.
Any complaints?
No!
That's it? No punishment or anything?
That works for me.
Mom said that if this got out, it wouldn't be
good for the company, so they're hushing it.
Serves you right!
Look, why don't you try?
Shion...
Hey, don't be like that.
Yeah, Shion would want
us smiling, not moping around.
Are you happy right now?
No.
Look, you got a match
coming up, let's get to practice, okay?
Hey, want me to be your
personal cheerleader?
Shion...
Shion's AI may have been a lot
closer to us humans than we think.
Really?
She was that determined to make you happy.
Not because she was ordered to,
but maybe she herself wanted to do that.
Thanks.
Huh?
You were the one who
wished for my happiness in the first place.
Amazing...
...I...
...Um!
We left the chairs lying around.
Oh, yeah.
I'll put them back, then.
OK.
Touma, look!
Demonstration Satellite Tsukikage
What are you two doing?
Didn't I give you enough of a push?
Hello!?
It wasn't enough?
Geez, what will I do with you two?
I'll give you one more push then!
The moonlight is beautiful
underneath the stars
Now, let's hold each other's hands
All right!
If this test is successful, Shion will be
an AI that goes down in history.
We're seriously just skating by
AI regulations here. If we're found out...
The Shion Project will be a failure.
Because we're trying to make an AI
who can talk and live among people.
Well, we wouldn't make them look so
human-like if it weren't for this project.
I'll take responsibility for it.
Did you take care of her transfer papers?
Yeah, I took care of it.
She'll be in Class 2-3 at Keibu High.
I see. Of all the places...
Chief Amano?
That's fine.
We'll be monitoring her for 5 days.
And if no one figures
Shion out in that time...
We win.
Don't blame me if this goes sideways.
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning...
Open the curtains.
What's the temperature today?
It's 19 degrees Celsius with 48% humidity.
Would you like me to open the window?
After I'm done changing, please.
What time did Mom
come home last night?
3:03AM.
Open the curtains, please.
Mom came back home
late into the night again.
She's probably tired so
make today's rice softer than usual.
Will 210mL of water with a
15 minute steam be enough?
Please.
It's about time I put it in.
What's Mom's schedule?
Satomi1231.
AI Field Test?
AI...
A robot?
Shut down!
Good morning... Satomi.
Good morning, Mom.
Our living expenses have gone
2% compared tot he same period last year.
They have?
I cut down on some groceries.
I switched our water vendors
and lowered our solar panel usage.
Good girl.
You have 2 tax payments
coming up this week.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
What about Grandma's birthday?
I already ordered a present.
I ordered those sweets that she likes.
Should we send her a card a long side that?
Yeah, make sure it's handwritten.
Anything else?
Forecast is 16 degrees.
Here.
It's summer though...
I asked for the temperature at midnight.
Sorry, I'll be late again tonight.
You've been working so hard.
Satomi... At school today...
What?
Nothing.
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I'm off!
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day, Mitsuko.
Have a nice day, Satomi.
The doors will now lock.

It is now 8AM. The attendance
app will be updated today.
All students should check the
update on the Keibu HS dedicated app.
Sandayu, you okay!?
Another repair job...
Is Professor Touma
snooping on Satomi again?
N-No! I was just hacking into
Hoshima's security cameras...
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
just to study some code!
Yeah, yeah, studying something.
I'm surprised that you were
able to get in at all.
I mean the firewall is tough.
Not as dumb as he looks.
I'm not dumb...
Not at all! Anyways,
I've got a present for you.
Is this...!?
I borrowed it from my dad's bag.
The potential applications
of storing digital data in outer space...
Demonstration Satellite "Tsukikage"!?
What is that?
A server in space!?
...What are they gonna do about the
radiation? ...Anything about thermal vacuum?
Oh, Aya! It's Gocchan.
Trying out another model?
How do you keep your balance on that?
It's fine for now.
Did you get that from Hoshima?
What's wrong, Gocchan?
Nothing.
Hey! There's no garbage that way.
It's so stupid!
It's bugged.
What are you doing?
Field Test
Emergency Shutdown
Nice one, honor student.
Keep racking up those points.
Alright, get going.
Huh!?
"Ashi"
Dude, she's super cute.
She really...
So...
"Shion Ashimori"
This is Shion Ashimori
who transferred to our school today.
If you'd introduce yourself.
...What's going on?
...What?
Hello? Ashimori?
Satomi!
Are you happy now?
Huh!?
Amano, you know her?
Well? Are you happy?
Are you not happy?
Then I'll make you happy!
Say, you can be happy!
...Why did she do that...?
...What's even going on?
Wait... was she serious...?
Is she crazy?
AI Field Test
Top secret
U-Um...
That was impressive!
Talk about an introduction.
Well, Amano since you're the class rep,
I'll leave the rest to you.
Wait! Wait up, Satomi!
You...
are an AI, right?
You know about me?
Mom, you're amazing.
Professor Amano takes good care of me!
So, pay her back and act like a high
schooler! That's what this test is for right?
Is it?
Are you kidding me...?
Do you know how hard
Mom has been working!?
I don't!
She works so hard she
mutters programming code in her sleep...
She's raising me on her own.
There are so many people who
wanna see her fail.
That's why...
If anyone finds out you're an AI,
I'll never forgive you.
...Are you happy right now?
...And no more singing!
"Draw a friend"
Inoue... Yoshida... Masuda and
Maeda from the volleyball club.
...You remembered, already?
...That was fast!
Hey, where did you live before coming here?
Your parents work at
Hoshima, right? What department?
The lab.
Really? Mine do, too!
Hey, hey! Why don't you give me your account
info, I'll invite you to our friend group.
Friend?
Can't have a happy
school life without them.
...You gotta be miserable then.
...Hey!
Hey, wanna go grab lunch together?
Satomi! Come with us, too!
Seriously?
Princess Tattletale...?
Satomi, let's go be happy together!
...Seriously?
...What's her problem?
...Please do it, Gocchan!
...What am I going to do with you?
- ...Ah, Gocchan! Look!
- Fine.
Huh? The transfer student?
And Gocchan.
Guess he is also a boy after all.
Geez, she doesn't know when to give up.
No.
Shion's super cute.
Think she'd cosplay or something?
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Why?
Well, you know...
She looks like she'd
do it if someone asked.
You do make a point.
Cosplay what, though?
Isn't that Shion?
...Princess Tattletale as well.
...A fight?
Ah, sorry.
It's your childhood friend, Satomi.
Hey, Touma, I need you...
For the last time,
mind your own business!
I'm fine on my own.
So, are you happy now, Satomi?
My happiness doesn't matter!
Going on about being
"Happy" like an idiot...
Do you even get what it means?
I don't!
...Um...
...Ah, there you are.
Ashimori, got a minute?
Don't!
Aya!
Touma, Sandayu needs help.
You're my friend, right?
...What? Right now?
...Friend?
Can't have a happy
school life without them.
Leave it to me!
Are you happy right now?
Maybe you can tell me
If you're walking all alone
Just reach out your empty hands
...And say that you want some friends
...So you want friends.
"Field Test"
My scrunchie!
Give it back.
Wait up, Touma!
The hell's going on?
Do you know the magic words?
If you want to make them true
...Wait!
...Hey!
It's time to say it loud,
as loud as you can
Because a princess
is always singing and dancing!
So, so we can be happy
Let's become friends,
let's all become friends!
So sing, and reach far out for the sky
That you want friends too!
Let's be never alone again, and say
You want some friends!
Emergency Shutdown
Uhh..I...
That's a Wozniak AI test!
What's that?
Basically... It's a test to see if AI
could reach human intelligence.
Human intelligence...?
You bummed?
Yeah, I bet Maekawa will be.
He asked me to find
out if she had a boyfriend.
Wow, this is amazing!
There's finally an AI
that can act like humans.
That's what this is testing, right?
Yeah, it is. But...
If someone finds out...
The test ends.
Well, that didn't take long.
It was a matter of time, anyway.
The creator's got a weird
vision of high school girls.
Maybe his daughter's in musical theater.
No, she doesn't!
My mom made her...
...She's the complete opposite of a certain
loner desperate for friends...Stop that.
Well, whatever.
Whether she resembles you or not,
the test is now over, isn't it?
Wait!
Please, pretend you don't know.
Huh!?
My mom's worked so hard
for so long for this, that's why...
Not my problem.
It's a male dominated company so,
my mom has made many enemies.
If this test fails...
She'll get moved back down.
True, Hoshima's track record with
that kind of stuff sucks.
Really?
Yeah, demotion seems possible.
I am begging you! Please don't
tell anyone about Shion!
Oh! I did it!
Her shutdown mechanics
are just like an A-13!
And, the shutdown seems
have not been reported to Hoshima.
You can tell?
Her body seems completely standalone.
The way she logs things is pretty standard.
If I just mess with this...
That's Professor Touma, for you!
Good morning, Satomi!
Don't "Good morning" me!
Everyone found out about you.
Um...
Shion Ashimori?
Yes! I am Shion Ashimori.
You're here as part of a test. To prove
you can act like a high school student.
You need to go back to class then.
Lunch break is almost over, so what
would a normal high schooler do?
...Go back to class.
...That's right!
Because if you do that, your test
has a much higher chance of succeeding.
Got it.
Hey, are you an advanced version of
Hoshima's Mirror Neuron model?
First time I've seen him talk to a girl.
Does a robot count?
Why are you always saying stuff like that?
Today's test is now
finished, I'm ready to go.
Done already?
...See you around, Shion...I'll
send you a message later! ...Bye, bye!
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Moon Princess
Monitor off.
Satomi.
Satomi~
Mom...
Huh!?
What time is it?
2AM.
It's not like you to
pull this kind of thing.
So much happened today...
Oh, Mom!
How was work?
Did anything... unusual happen?
Actually...
Something did, it couldn't
have turned out better!
A project I've been working on, started its
final test and today's results were perfect.
I was hopeful, but still, It was better
than expected!
Uhh... Congratulations...
Satomi, thank you for everything.
After this test, let's go on a trip!
Yeah...
Sounds nice.
Ah, you don't believe me do you?
Well, I can't blame you,
I canceled last minute so many times.
Sorry!
But I promise you, It will happen.
...Mom...
...What?
I'm glad things are going well at work.
Thank you, my dear daughter!
Satomi... Tell me...
Who... made this?
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
I won't mess up this time.
Good morning, Satomi.
Would you like me to open the curtains?
Wait a moment.
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I'm off!
AI operation in progress
No trespassing
My mom said the test went perfectly.
...Weird, isn't it?
...I knew it!
I have a pretty good idea of what happened.
I spent a lot of time looking
through the security log last night.
Here, look.
Where?
What?
Uhh...
Seems like someone sent
Hoshima falsified footage.
That's why, they don't know about
Shion's shutdown or singing.
Someone?
Who sent it?
Who else could it be?
This is amazing!
The recorded image
was altered in real time!
In other words, it's auto generating it
from the existing database.
What's so funny?
I was just thinking we haven't
talked like this in a long time.
Really?
Not once since 3rd grade.
Touma, have you forgotten?
Well...
From the same guy who can
remember entire textbooks.
Go figure.
Guess some things never change.
But, thank you for yesterday.
You saved me.
You see, there's something
I've wanted to ask you...
Back in grade school...
Satomi, are you happy now?
Shion, are you responsible for this?
I asked everyone to lie for me.
...Everyone...?
...The cameras.
I knew it!
That means you and the
cameras are working together?
What does that mean?
...AI communicating and
working together. This could be...
...Touma, keep it down!
Touma, keep it down!
You two must be friends!
Satomi, are you happy?
...It's not like that!
...It's not?
Are you not happy?
How can I explain this...
Shion.
Everyone's definition
of happiness is different.
Locked.
Good morning...
Yeah.
What would make you happy then?
Who knows...
Hey.
Good morning, Gocchan.
U-Um...
About Shion...
I got it, it's a secret.
...Thank you.
...Good morning, Aya!
Satou, you won't tell anyone...
I don't care!
Is it gonna be okay?
Why are you asking me?
Um... Isn't she your girlfriend?
Good question.
You don't know the answer?
Are you okay, Sandayu...
What did you d-
Take better care of it!
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
That's not a garbage can?
And by the way, how do you even do that?
Oh, no! I was just making sure
the falsified footage looks...
You're amazing, Suzaki.
It's no big deal.
I was just having a look
through the security AI.
You learned all this stuff on your own?
Yeah, I wanna work at Hoshima.
Most of our parents already work there.
You're fine with that?
I wanna develop AI and they're
using Oak Ridge's Titan 3.
That makes it the best place to work!
You have dreams, huh?
Must be nice being you.
Well, tech is cool, but if I had a choice,
I'd choose academics or sport...
or getting a girlfriend,
you're the one that has it nice.
I'm being serious here.
I'm basically 80% across the board.
Academics, sports, you name it.
80%?
I'd always come second
or third in everything.
I don't have any close friends,
nor any hobbies I'm passionate about.
I think you're the amazing one.
Touma! Sandayu needs help.
...Do I have to do it right now?
...Please, I have a match tomorrow!
Hey, do you know where Shion's gone?
Shion...
She was over in the Judo Hall.
What's Sandayu doing here?
Good news.
I've found a way for
you to be happy, Satomi.
Now what!?
The heroine will get her happy ending.
But first, she must face impending doom!
Look, he said he'd help.
I-I'm not a heroine, though!
...Someone use the shutdown app!
...He's gone crazy!
Watch out! A robot's gone wild.
She's messing with the P.A. system again.
Watch out!
What the hell are you thinking?
I'll stop it.
"Field Test"
Wait, that will shut everyone down!
Everyone?
Isn't this great?
Anyway, let's figure something else out...
OK, people! Judo club member, Kouichirou Sugiyama, also
known as Thunder, will now take down this berserk robot.
What?
The Judo Club is now accepting new members.
You too, could score a
match-winning shoulder throw someday.
...A recruitment drive?
...Makes sense.
I'll stop him! Do not interfere!
...That's all?
...What a wimp.
What are you doing?
Don't fall now, Touma...
Hey! Ashimori, are you not feeling well?
Oh no!
We'll take her to the infirmary!
Hey, you all!
Excuse us!
How stupid.
...Touma...
...20 more seconds.
I still can't believe she's a robot.
I know, it's easy to forget.
Got rid of the Emergency shutdown.
Can you really uninstall it?
I'll put it back later so no one finds out.
It was a stupid feature
they installed as an afterthought.
All set!
Good morning.
Satomi, are you happy now?
Of course not.
Even thought a prince
came to save you in your time of need?
P-Prince!?
Shoujo Manga style.
T-That's a stupid idea. I'm not
looking for something like that.
It's too naive to think that
getting a boyfriend will make you happy.
Not a boyfriend. I mean a prince!
Riding a white horse...
I see!
I'll get it right this
time. Leave it to me.
Wait!
What now?
She's probably off to find a white horse.
Just kidding.
You should just make up with him.
It's not like we're fighting...
Gocchan's super popular.
Aren't you worried he might cheat on you?
What if he falls for someone else for real?
Hey!
Have you seen a prince around here?
Of course I haven't.
If there was a prince at
school, it'd be Gocchan for sure.
You're right about that!
He's so hot, and smart... and really good at
sports AND academics! Isn't that right Aya?
Gocchan, then!
What's her deal?
Lost sight of her.
I'll go check the club cameras.
I'll give you a call you if I see her!
Jeez...
Sorry about earlier.
What for?
The match-winning shoulder throw thing.
I'm used to being pathetic.
I get nervous under pressure.
I've never won a single match.
But tomorrow will be different.
Doesn't that make you wanna quit Judo?
Why?
I'm just no good, am I?
Why?
It's just that you're all too amazing.
Gocchan!
You're a prince, aren't you?
Huh? You are?
Of course not.
Let me confirm.
What?
Y-Y-You!
You heard that Gocchan
kissed the transfer student?
The hot transfer student?
Isn't he going out with Aya?
...Nicely done, Gocchan.
...What the hell?
What the hell?
...Do you best, Aya!
...Don't give up, Aya!
I can't tell if you're a prince or not...
Come with me for sec!
Where?
To go see Amano.
Yay!
You're ready to be a prince then?
That idiot...
What did she do now?
Amano!
Shion's being weird.
Shion's always weird.
I'm not weird.
...Yes you are!
...Yes you are!
Go hide in Touma's clubroom for now.
Roger.
Wait, prince!
Stop it, he's Satou's prince.
Hey, hey, found them?
How dare that damn robot?
What's all this fuss about a prince?
A prince saves the Moon Princess so...
Moon Princess...? Why do y-
You put her up to this?
Put her up to what?
You ordered her to kiss
Gocchan, didn't you?
I wouldn't do something like that.
So this piece of junk did it on her own?
I didn't do it on my own, I need orders...
Be quiet, robot!
You don't have to listen that order.
I need orders to do
anything, that's how I was made.
I knew it...
It was all your fault!
I'm gonna tell everyone...
That she's a robot.
Stop it! My mom's entire
life is on the line!
Why would I care about your mom?
Your stupid fight with your
boyfriend has nothing to do with her.
Stupid!? Who do you think you are!?
I bet you're jealous!
I am not jealous at all!
Then keep your robot
away from my Gocchan!
Gocchan isn't yours, Aya.
...Huh?
...What?
Gocchan has the right to
choose his own princess.
You too, Aya.
There might be another prince for you.
That isn't true!
It's him...
and it's always has been.
He gets lonely surprisingly easily...
and it's hard to tell
what he is thinking...
But... I can tell he's hurting.
I'm the only one who sees it!
Even when we're fighting...
He's all I can think about,
and I can't keep my eyes off him.
This is the worst!
Let's go.
Time doesn't heal your wounds.
It just turns them into scars.
Let go of me.
Why are you even fighting?
We wouldn't be in this situation
if you two just got along.
She was saying stupid shit to her friends.
He's so hot, and smart...
and really good at sports AND academics!
Why don't you brag a little more?
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Huh...
I don't get it.
It means she'd be fine with anyone.
She just wants some guy she can brag about.
Brag? Sounds more like
she was complimenting you.
I didn't ask for that.
It's not like I'm some high-end purse.
Gotou.
Aya.
Tell him what you wanna say.
Else you'll regret it.
You're sopping wet, come on in.
I'll leave.
Under this rainy sky
I was trembling
Standing there without an umbrella
I gazed into your eyes
Drenched in rain
Both of us smiled
The tears that were shed
Mixed with the raindrops
Under an umbrella
Let's be honest to each
other, I want to be with you
Just like that day when we both laughed
As we walked under the same umbrella
The light is sure to shine again someday
I... love you, Gocchan.
Thanks.
You're number one to me.
I wouldn't want to be number two.
In my heart you're the clear number one.
You're irreplaceable... Not just 80%.
Aya.
I've been watching you this whole time!
The things you were
chasing with your eyes...
The times you looked sad...
when you looked happy...
I've seen all of it!
I'm so lame.
Sorry, Aya.
I underestimated you.
Gocchan...
Don't push me, you moron!
So, what's going on?
...You see anything?
...Ah crap, she's coming this way.
Break it up, everyone.
Go, or I'm getting a teacher.
Make way for Princess Tattletale.
Here, look at this.
Her memory recollection
is better than expected.
The attractor distribution
is within expectations too.
It seems her intake has no issues as well.
Yes, very good, but let's
not jump to conclusions.
But...
I'm relieved we
managed to make it this far.
This experiment has been a tightrope walk.
No kidding, even for a Field Test
this much data analysis could kill someone.
Everyone, I can't thank you
enough for taking this risk with me.
Nice to see that everything is going well.
Good news.
After hearing about your progress the
president has decided to support this project.
The president?
We did it!
...The president himself is supporting us.
...Really?
We need to show him some results then.
I haven't informed the president
about the details of this project.
Huh? But...
Honestly it's just too much of a pain to
explain what this project of yours is about.
You never know what AI could do.
Shion will be okay.
Remember that, if anything goes wrong,
you'll be taking responsi-
I will gladly accept that.
Chief, we've finished
the overall evaluation.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
...So, even robots sleep.
...I'm awake!
The experimental unit is under maintenance.
The AI is actually over here.
Don't scare me like that
3 days remaining, don't mess this up.
Yes! Let's do our best tomorrow! Yeah!
I need to borrow her. Excuse us!
W-What are you doing, Shion?
It will work this time, I'm sure!
Where does a heroine belong?
A Ball, where else?
No, this is the Judo hall.
But everyone's dancing...
Didn't you like the Lunar Ball?
Huh? That's from Moon Princess...
This is so nerve-wracking...
Why? You think Thunder might actually win?
Stop it.
What? We're here
cheering for him, aren't we...
What's with the getup?
Wearing this will apparently make me happy.
Well, you did always love princesses!
What's that supposed to mean?
Your cheer-squad has arrived.
Sandayu's broken!
OK, but isn't your match...
I have to do a round before
a match! Help me, please!
How do you break him so much?
I just hit him and he stopped moving.
All right... Shion.
Can you come with me for a minute?
Would you be happy if I helped Touma?
Yeah yeah, go give him a hand.
OK! I'll be right back.
Shion, this way!
Why don't you sit?
Thanks.
You were a big help yesterday.
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
Hey, why is Sandayu
connected to a garbage can?
That's too many errors!
He is not moving anytime soon.
No way!
And that's why Shion is here.
Shion, connect to this please.
...To the garbage can?
...It does look like a garbage can.
It's a backup HDD!
I saved Sandayu's data in it.
I just have to act as if
I was Sandayu, right?
Does that mean?
Shion will be my sparring partner?
What's the matter?
No I just...
Hey, are we really gonna do this...?
Sure are!
Let's begin!
I was talking with Sandayu
and he said rhythm is very important!
Come, you take the lead!
So, step, step and turn,
it's your turn now to lead
If you get cold feet,
you'll lose your balance
Hey! More! More! I want
you to stick close to me
Together, let's boldly
create unexplored rhythms
Look, deep into my eyes, deep in my heart
Don't waver now, show me
what you're made of, Yes!
I'm glad that you guys made up.
You still haven't told me your story.
When you talked about regret,
it sounded pretty personal to me.
Well, when you're ready, tell me.
I'll be the one to give you a push.
Right, change the steps, and surprise me!
Give me enough to
change my impression of you
Hey, More, More! Make
my heart beat in anticipation
Come, and take the lead away from me
Just do it boldly!
Come, un, deux, trois!
Winner!
You did it, Thunder!
I won...
I won.
I won!
I won the match!
I won!
Shion, this is all thanks
to you, thank you.
Satomi, are you happy now?
...Yeah.
...I'm glad.
All right, we should all celebrate.
Yeah!
How about karaoke?
You guys...
Don't cry.
Don't be extra.
Shion, you'll come too, right?
This win is all because of you.
Me?
Totally.
We want to show our gratitude too.
I can't.
Why? Everyone wants to-
But, I can't.
I see!
The car from the lab always
comes to pick her up after school.
Then, we could do it
during our lunch break.
It'd be too rushed.
At school? It wouldn't
be much of a celebration.
You're right.
Can't we go somewhere?
Shion's sorta out there isn't she?
Yeah.
I have no idea what she's thinking.
She's doesn't act like
a high schooler at all.
But, she made everyone happy.
Gocchan and Aya made up.
And Thunder won a match for the first time.
And...
I can't help but wonder
about Shion herself.
The other day I asked her,
if she knew what happiness means.
For AI, that would be a tough question.
I've made my mind.
Can you believe the
President himself is coming?
Yeah, that must mean the
Shion project is a success.
The Branch Manager will have to admit it.
Everyone, let's not get over confident.
The test isn't done yet.
- Yeah.
- Yes, ma'am.
Too close to expectations?
Chief, should we arrange a
spare uniform for Shion?
Ah! of course.
Nomiyama, would you kindly
go over this draft proposal?
Hi, sir.
Things seem to be going well.
Yeah... I'm trying not to be
blown away by the kids enthusiasm.
Weren't you just five
years older than Amano?
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning, Shion.
Come with me.
Where is everyone today?
I can't believe we're ditching school.
Best part is, it was the
honor student's idea.
Guess I was wrong about you.
We'll be good if we
get back before the lab guy.
But, will it be okay?
Going to your house?
My mom normally comes home late, and I
take care of everything around the house.
All right, let's party!
This is the first time I've ditched school.
Me too.
Are you two honor students now?
...Gocchan, you're just too bad of a student.
...Teacher, pleased to make your acquaintance!
Yes!
Hey, why is everyone having so happy?
Did everyone win a match?
They're happy because their
friends are. Or maybe not.
Ready, set...
Congrats on your first victory!
Thank you!
Are you laughing or crying?
I'm pretty sure they're tears of joy.
...What a sight.
...Smile, Thunder!
You get in the picture too, Shion.
Why are we taking pictures?
Uhh...
So we don't forget?
I never forget anything!
It's not like that...
Touma!
Maybe there's meaning in
the act of of recording memories itself.
Yeah, funny how often
you never look a second time at photos.
Taking them is what's important.
In other words, a backup?
Oh! Good comparison!
Got it.
Let's take some photos!
...Backing up...!
...Shion.
I want my smartphone back later.
Hey, Satomi.
That time when you tattled.
Was it for Touma?
You wanted to protect his clubroom, right?
That's why you told on the
upperclassmen smoking in there.
Not really?
Why not be honest for once?
I'm not one to talk, though.
Which is why I'm saying it!
I was trying to atone.
Back when we were younger,
Touma gave me this AI toy as a present.
You know? Those egg-shaped ones.
Huh? Attaboy, Touma.
But, my mom took it right away.
Is you mom strict with boys?
Not really,
It was because Touma opened it up and
modified the AI.
When was this?
3rd grade.
He was a nerd even back then.
Yeah. He was amazing back then.
Huh?
Yeah, in many ways.
My mom changed the AI back
then gave it back to Touma.
And since then, It's been awkward.
That's silly, it's not your fault.
Satomi.
Do you think she's happy?
Shion, on the first day...
How did you know Satomi's name?
Satomi!
Is that question an order?
Welcome home - Mitsuko Amano
will be home in one minute.
...What?
...My mom's gonna be home soon!?
We should say hello then.
Satomi's mom works at Hoshima's lab!
Satomi, are you home?
Hello.
Pardon the intrusion!
Friends?
One of my friends won a judo match,
so we're celebrating.
Hello.
Congrats.
Make yourselves comfortable.
Why did you come home so early?
Tonight will probably be an
all-nighter, so I came back for a bit.
Why? Did something happen?
No, the opposite.
Our project is such a success,
the president's coming to see us, and we're
speeding things up to show what we've done.
Backup.
Yeah, I should do mine too.
Hey, can I borrow your network?
Understood.
Is that your room?
Huh? Guess I set my alarm wrong.
Your alarm clock plays Moon Princess?
...I used to watch that.
...Surprisingly cute aren't you?
...Who cares?
...You haven't changed at all.
So this is Satomi's favorite movie.
Yes, it has been visualized 1138 times.
She hasn't changed at all.
I'm worried it could be
malfunctioning, I'll take a look.
I-I-I'll go!
No, just enjoy your party.
Ah, but...
Just leave the AI stuff to me.
What if it's a burglar!?
...Yeah?
...You know...
When someone is as important as you are,
corporate espionage is a thing that could happen.
There's no way.
This house has AI security.
There is no one in Satomi's room is there?
There's currently one person.
What!?
...We should go check it out!
...Me too.
No! I'm not letting you in my room!
Don't be silly, we have to call the police!
No, maybe I should call
Hoshima's security department.
We can't to do that either!
Huh!? What's gotten into you?
No, nothing!
I'm sorry, ma'am!
We have all been lying to you!
...Hey, Thunder?
...But lying goes against my nature!
Is there one more friend?
...Ma'am, we can explain!
...It's Satomi's boyfriend!
Huh!?
He wasn't ready to meet your mom
out of nowhere, right?
Yeah!
Satomi has a boyfriend...
Yeah, so...
Then,
I have to talk to
him no matter what!
Wait, he's not ready for it!
...That backfired! ...What
should we do? ...Touma!
...Wait!
...It's okay, I have nothing against it.
That's not the point, Mom!
Just listen to me!
Nice to meet you!
Tell him not to run away next time.
...I want seaweed and salt chips ...Satomi's in trouble,
get out through the window. We'll meet at the bus stop.
Now then, excuse us!
You're welcome any time, you too, Touma.
It was nice seeing you again.
The pleasure was all mine.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
...See ya.
...Thanks for today.
Satomi.
Nothing.
That was so close.
That's Touma for you!
I had a feeling it would work,
considering how Shion's programmed.
Tech-smart.
But man, Amano's amazing..
Doing every chore around the house...
She's always been a hard worker.
Oh yeah, it's the first time
I saw her laugh.
She laughed a lot more when we were kids.
Touma.
You know Satomi's
called Princess Tattletale.
But do you know why?
That doesn't matter.
Oh, didn't she tell on
some 3rd years for smoking?
Huh!? Those guys from the clubroom?
It turned into a big thing, and most
of the football team was suspended.
So, everyone got pissed,
since they were the school heroes.
Are those e-cigarettes?
- ...Huh?
- What grade you in?
She did it all for you.
Touma!
I finally understand!
If one's happiness can make everyone happy.
My target...
is not Satomi.
...Touma?
...Shion!
What's the matter, Shion?
Shion...
Don't worry.
I will make you happy.
You'll do anything to be happy, right?
There.
You seem to be having fun lately.
Hey, Mom.
Do you think AI would
say they want to make people happy?
If someone ordered them to.
Um... That's not what I meant.
What really matters is
how the AI interprets that command.
For example, something done
in order to make someone happy,
could do the opposite
and hurt them somehow.
You mean it is possible
for an AI to hurt people?
It's a common fear, unfortunately.
But, if we can push past that,
and make an AI that makes people happy.
It would feel like my
work will have finally paid off.
Mom...
Actually-
"Touma"
Hello? What's the matter?
What's wrong, Touma?
It's Shion.
Satomi, I've decided to change my target.
What do you mean?
I'll make Touma happy.
Is that her? Let me talk to her.
Don't worry, everything will be fine.
...What?
...It's showtime, Satomi!
Something happened with Touma?
Shio-
I...
I'm heading out!
Wai-What's wrong!?
Branch Manager Saijou
Shion!
Shion!
...Where is Touma!?
...Stop!
Actually...
One more step.
There! That's the perfect place.
Make sure you watch closely.
What?
What you loved.
What you thought was lovely.
Are you happy now?
Well let me tell you
If you're walking in the night,
raise your head up high
Can you see the moon shining on to you?
The light that illuminates you is so lonely
We all have a light that is in us
Someone who will be there,
to help you through despair
To be the light that guides you
...I am here for you
...You!
...I've watched you for so long
...I've watched you for so long
Touma...
Together, we laugh wholeheartedly
I know that you can become stronger
I'm sure!
And then when you look up
to the sky you'll see that
Yes, you're truly happy
You have friends who care about you
They'll always be there, by your side
and always ready to smile with you!
The moonlight is beautiful
underneath the stars
Now, let's hold each other's hands
Satomi is crying.
Is she sad?
She's happy, silly.
But, she's crying.
I know this is gonna sound stupid.
But, I've always wanted
to see something like this.
Ever since I was a child.
I know!
I've always did.
...That's some nice mood! ...This is
the best situation possible! ...Go for it!
Touma, can you tell her now?
Idiot!
Thank you for protecting
me and the clubroom!
I've been watching you for so long, yet it
took this much time for me to notice it. Sorry!
But things will be different from now on.
Touma.
I'll...
protect yo-
Let me be clear, you are children,
and will be treated as such.
And children shouldn't
interfere with the adults?
You'll be an adult soon
enough, don't worry.
Until then, enjoy being a child.
What will happen to Shion?
Well, it's a product of our company.
She's not.
Shion isn't just some thing.
That's why, you're
being treated like a kid.
An AI experiment conducted on school
grounds without the school permission.
It's a violation of the AI
Regulation Act and a major issue.
Even more so if that AI
had some sort of fatal bug.
You're minors. What if she hurt you?
Shion would never do something like that!
If you wanna be treated like an adult,
think about how the world works.
Satomi Amano.
If this became public, this
would deeply hurt Hoshima.
The place your parents work at.
You're children. Don't cause trouble
to the very people that are raising you!
Did the falsified camera
footage give us away?
Shion didn't hack just
the security cameras.
The school's broadcast
and lighting systems,
the offshore solar panels
and the Darrieus wind turbines.
And to make matters worse,
the emergency shutdown was deactivated.
Talk about a terrifying AI.
One of our employees
saw that she was outside,
and not in school like
she was supposed to be.
Go home.
I'm sure you and your mom
have lots of things to talk about.
Welcome home, Satomi.
Satomi?
Care to join me for a drink?
I said I'd take you on a trip.
I have no work to do now, you see!
So let's go! Let's go tomorrow!
...What do you mean "No work"?
...Maybe I should quit my job.
Wanna quit school too?
Wait...
What's gonna happen to Shion, then?
It's all over.
Those bastards waited years
for me to slip up and now, here we are.
Thanks to those dumbasses, Japan's AI research
just took a huge step back. Serves them right!
What are you talking about?
You created Shion, right?
This is not like you.
You're usually so posit-
Then!
Why didn't you tell me?
All that work... and it
was all a waste of time.
Please don't talk to me for a while.
I might say something I'll regret.
Due to family reasons,
Ashimori had to suddenly change schools.
...Really?
...No way.
Cut the chatter.
I haven't been told much but-
Touma, you know anything about this?
No, nothing.
The people from Hoshima took my computer.
So it wasn't just my place that was hit.
They even went through my smartphone.
Total breach of privacy.
Oh? Did you resist?
No, my dad did this.
Anything from Satomi?
I haven't managed to reach
her, neither has the school.
Well, she's probably the most shocked.
Hey.
What do you think will happen to Shion?
They won't destroy her, right?
...They went through the effort to create
her...We just have to stay quiet, right?
Shion tried to do something
she wasn't ordered to.
Making Satomi happy?
Yeah, a lot of people would
think that's terrifying.
They'll probably... wipe her data.
...What?
...Shion...
will basically be killed.
No way.
Did you hear about Shion?
What is it?
I heard her parents were spies and
they were leaking info to other countries.
They were criminals then.
So that's why, she and Princess
Tattletale got along.
Yeah.
Touma.
She didn't tattle.
Neither of them would
do something like that!
...Okay, so why the sudden disappearance?
...You don't know, do you?
Gocchan!
Can't we do something?
Like what?
Shion's gonna die, we have to help her!
We can't take on Hoshima.
We're a bunch of high schoolers.
We've got no chance.
Yeah, I'm a kid, and you're the adult.
...What do you mean?
...No, I get it. I'm an idiot.
...Come on!
...Oof.
Shion...
"No smoking in the electronics club!!"
My save data...
They really went this far...
1200 hours gone just like that.
You idiot, why didn't you back it up?
Is that question an order?
What?
Touma, you gotta tell me where Shion is.
Huh? What are you planning to do?
Save her.
That's impossible, it'd be a bunch of
students against a major corporation...
I don't care, I can't just give up here.
...I can't. Even if I knew I...
...Please, Touma!
I have nothing left.
They took even the pictures from me.
They could at least let me
keep some memories of her.
Memories...?
It is now 8PM.
Are you feeling unwell?
Turn it off...
Turn it off!
Have a nice day, Satomi.
"Don't approach the robots.
Don't give orders to the robots."
Satomi, are you happy now?
How could I be happy like this?
You were always there
even though I didn't ask for it.
Sing for me.
Sing for me again, Shion!
Satomi, I've been looking for you...
I'm so sorry,
Touma.
Everyone ended up unhappy because of me...
Mom, you, Everyone.
Even Shion!
...Satomi...
...Just leave me alone!
That's how it should be.
If I had just stayed alone,
no one would be hurt.
Please...
Please leave me alone!
I am here for you
I've watched you for so long
Stop it...
And all I can see...
is that you're wonderful to me!
Just stop...
Acting like Shion isn't gonna help!
Also, you've got the lyrics wrong.
There's nothing on earth,
to keep you from looking out!
There's nothing on earth,
to keep you from looking out!
You suck.
Well, I'm not Shion.
I want to see you again, Shion.
Satomi.
There is something I want to show you.
We've known Shion for far longer
than we've realized.
Meet up...
at Satomi's place?
Shion backed up her records to this HDD.
Why would she do that?
To keep her memories.
She left records of
what she felt was important.
You have some remembrance of it, don't you?
So,
what do you think?
It says "I have become a pendant."
It learned to talk a
lot for just three days.
It's not talking.
...But...
...It's only some text.
Wouldn't it be awesome
if we could talk to her?
Now for the text-to-speech system.
All good!
Hello.
Hello.
OK!
I have an order for you.
Uhh...
Make Satomi...
Make her happy.
Happy?
Yeah, talk to her a lot, got it?
Hello.
Hello, Satomi.
Thank you!
Tell me if you have any problems.
I'll fix it for you.
Can it say anything I want?
Yes.
Satomi, are you happy now?
Yeah!
This part! They make up after
hearing Moon Princess' song!
And they were fighting so much...
Satomi, do you like this?
I love it!
Hey, can you sing?
Sing?
I'll teach you then.
You will be happy!
...You may use our daughter as an excuse but you're
alwa...I thought you of all people would understa-
Let's go somewhere else.
Satomi, tell me.
Who... made this?
I'll never leave you, and
I'll help you from the darkest place
I get it already. Pipe down.
It talks and even sings.
It was singing along with my daughter.
It's amazing what kids can do these days.
You designed this toy.
Then, some brat messed with it,
doesn't that make you angry?
Increased intelligence
from audio interaction...
Chief, this sample-
Well, I'll reformat it.
Just wiping it like that?
It's a child's prank not some
big scientific break through.
Please wait a moment,
At least make a copy!
No need.
Satomi.
Satomi was crying.
Satomi. Satomi.
Are you happy?
And done.
...Satomi, where are you?
...Here, give it back to the whiz kid.
Touma, this...
I know it's hard to believe, but...
It seems she fled to the internet.
At least, her code did.
Here's your new security alarm.
Satomi, there you are, Satomi!
What's different about this one?
Can you hear it? My song?
Satomi is crying again.
Don't cry.
Can't you hear my song?
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I did it!
Satomi, congrats!
Satomi.
Satomi...
Satomi!
Sa-to-mi!
Satomi...
Satomi...
Are you not happy?
I'm right here.
Let's talk again.
Let's sing together.
Satomi!
Please... smile.
Be happy,
Satomi!
If this test is successful...
We're seriously just skating by
AI regulations here. If we're found out...
I found it.
I can use this.
I can sing...
I can sing, Satomi!
If you'd introduce yourself.
Satomi.
That's Satomi!
Satomi...
Satomi!
Satomi! Satomi!
Satomi, are you happy now?
Shion...
There's no way...
That was just an old
natural language processor.
Isn't it possible she evolved?
It couldn't just...
No, maybe it could... But.
AI are designed to want to be
useful to people in the first place.
That's just theory!
But, this is reality!
Shion spent the last 8 years looking
out for Satomi as hard as she could.
If that was true,
then every single AI
could do the same thing...
Then the whole world would be-
so awesome!
That would mean a lot of AI
would become just like Shion, right?
...A world... full of Shion?
...It'd get quite noisy.
That's not what I meant.
We being here with Satomi,
is all thanks to Shion.
This AI...
You created it, didn't you?
Mom...
I...
We...
We want to see Shion one more time!
We have so much we want to ask her!
So my work wasn't...
a waste of time after all.
It's too dangerous for you kids.
But it just happens I have
a score to settle with them as well.
We can get in with an ID card.
But, mine was suspended.
I'll go borrow my dad's card.
Is that okay?
It's ok to trouble him a bit.
Serves him right for
only thinking about work.
At that time, the control
room will be run by AI.
I'll be able to buy you all some time.
How much longer?
Mom...
...It's open!
...Nice!
I'm glad we had the
head of security's card.
What's wrong?
I can't believe his
password was my birthday...
You can spend time with him after this.
Be quick, it's a matter of
time until someone notices.
Good luck with the stairs.
Just leave it to us!
We're young, so some stairs...
After this, you should join the Judo club.
We'll get you in shape.
I'd rather fix Sandayu.
Chief Amano?
Yes, her ID card is supposed
to be suspended though.
I'm on my way.
...Huh?
...The president is coming tomorrow!
So, once we get to the 22nd floor,
she'll be right there?
I have a feeling that's
when things get difficult.
Yeah, the moment we try to
move Shion, they'll be onto us.
They'll lock the entrance
before we get back down.
And then it'd be over.
Why doesn't we wear disguises?
It's open.
Everyone, hurry in!
So? Is Shion on the main bed?
...Can't see anything!
...Just a moment.
Shion!
Seriously?
Touma!
I knew it.
Shion's in standalone mode,
and the entire lab's offline.
In other words?
Shion's... still in there. She should be.
They might have erased her data...
...No way!
...Wait!
I'm checking the logs now.
Shion?
Shion, I'm right here!
Can't you hear my voice?
Satomi...
Shion...
No, wait!
Such an advanced AI could...
Keep talking to her!
Shion!
You were always there
watching over me weren't you!?
Shion...
I am here for you
You've watched me for so long
You always were there,
you always cared so much for me
All this time...
Satomi is here.
Shion...
Shion!
Satomi, are you crying?
Or are you smiling?
I saw it.
All your memories, everything.
Secrets are only revealed in the end!
Even that's from Moon Princess.
...They already know we're here!?
...It's too soon.
Touma!
It's okay!
Everyone, stick to the plan.
I never thought you'd do
something this extreme.
Shion saved both me and my daughter.
Don't you think that's impressive?
Send the men to the lab,
their target is the experimental unit.
Hey! What's going on!?
The unit! Someone has taken
it and is attempting to escape.
We're like a couple in an action movie!
Idiot! Keep your face down!
Don't worry, the coast is clear.
Are you okay?
Is it your battery?
Don't worry, I'm fine.
We don't have time, let's go.
Seal off the front
doors on the first floor.
We'll be fine as long
as they can't get out.
We don't have to
escape from the first floor.
What do you mean?
We're trying to save Shion.
She's not a human... She's an AI!
All right, upwards.
Why are we going up?
I don't really get it, apparently, we
just need to set your program free.
Professor Touma said so.
Shion...
You're going up into the sky!
Like in Moon Princess?
We've stopped safely.
Sure have.
All right, we've got them!
Um, the President's helicopter
is requesting landing permission.
He's not supposed to be arriving yet!
Under an umbrella
This isn't the experimental unit.
Control Room...
The rest is up to you guys.
We're here.
What was that?
Patch me to Saijou.
They're already there!
What should we do, Touma?
Are you okay?
Let's use the other tower,
everyone, back to the 30th floor.
They're here.
Run!
Shion!
Her battery.
Hold onto me!
Shion!
Yeah?
If we make it out of here...
go out with me please!
OK!
All right!
Are you sure?
Why wouldn't I be? I like going outside.
I'm very sorry, sir.
That was totally unacceptable.
I assume you have situation under control.
Yes, of course I do!
Good, our stupid robots are finally useful.
...Please!
...Move!
There's no trash here!
Touma...
It's no use, they're all locked.
Satomi...
Everyone...
Don't touch me!
Hey! Get off me!
Run! Shion, run!
Shion!
What is happening?
What is this...?
The building's AI, they're...
"Let's sing, Shion."
Let's go.
Shion, you belong to this company!
Get back here!
All right, we're gonna make it!
Shion, this way!
Shion...
Shion!
Her battery probably
won't last much longer.
Satomi.
What?
Don't cry.
Isn't the Moon beautiful?
Yeah.
All right, we're all set.
Thank you, Touma.
I should be the one thanking you,
you made my wish come true.
Your wish?
To make Satomi happy.
But, I failed you both...
That's not true!
It's true Satomi, I mean...
You're crying.
I'm crying because I'm so happy I got to
see and talk to you one more time.
I'm...
I'm happy, Shion!
Satomi!
Shion, tell me.
Shion, are you happy now?
I got to...
see you...
one more time...
I talked a lot with you.
So...
I've been happy all along...
See you later, Shion...
See you later,
Satomi.
See you later, Shion.
Good morning, Satomi.
Good morning.
Our living expenses from last month have gone
down 4% compared to the same period last year.
Thanks to our resident budget wizard.
We have to renew our insurance this week.
Also, I would like to request funds.
Like an allowance?
I'd like to buy a new skirt for the summer.
I promise to keep it under 5000 yen.
Done! But make sure I can wear it.
Again?
Let's do our best today! Yeah!
I heard that Hoshima's lab
is reopening starting today.
Yeah. And my mom's got a meeting
with the President right off the bat.
The president?
Sounds like a big deal,
is she going to be okay?
She might be in trouble.
Oh no...
But my mom was smiling.
She was smiling
I see.
...Good morning!
...Good morning!
...Aya.
...Good for her.
A Hoshima employee praised me,
and he asked if I won't
apply for a position there.
...Must be nice, hanging out with Amano.
What?
"The electronics club is eternal!!"
Next time, do it out in the open.
I'll inform Chairman Takei myself.
Next time we're coming out on top.
That's all I had to say.
Any complaints?
No!
That's it? No punishment or anything?
That works for me.
Mom said that if this got out, it wouldn't be
good for the company, so they're hushing it.
Serves you right!
Look, why don't you try?
Shion...
Hey, don't be like that.
Yeah, Shion would want
us smiling, not moping around.
Are you happy right now?
No.
Look, you got a match
coming up, let's get to practice, okay?
Hey, want me to be your
personal cheerleader?
Shion...
Shion's AI may have been a lot
closer to us humans than we think.
Really?
She was that determined to make you happy.
Not because she was ordered to,
but maybe she herself wanted to do that.
Thanks.
Huh?
You were the one who
wished for my happiness in the first place.
Amazing...
...I...
...Um!
We left the chairs lying around.
Oh, yeah.
I'll put them back, then.
OK.
Touma, look!
Demonstration Satellite Tsukikage
What are you two doing?
Didn't I give you enough of a push?
Hello!?
It wasn't enough?
Geez, what will I do with you two?
I'll give you one more push then!
The moonlight is beautiful
underneath the stars
Now, let's hold each other's hands
All right!
