Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's Route)

Transcript:

[I don't really know about the mechanism of machines. But I can take good care of finished products.

Because the finished products tell me what I need to do.

I enjoy listening to the finished products and learning about them. And it is fun to be able to use them well.

My body is also one of the finished products, isn't it? I like to listen to my body.]

Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's route)

Transcript:

[My body knows things I've never imagined. I can tell that by listening to my body.

Things like what makes me happy and when I shouldn't overdo it. My body tells me these things.]

Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's Route)

Transcript:

[I listen carefully for small sounds. I listen carefully for the slightest sounds. Listen, can't you hear it?

The sound of Honda grinding a wheel. The sound Hajime makes when he turns his body. The sound of somebody putting up a bottle trap.

The sound of somebody running on the track, The whistling sound made by the boiler. The leaping sound of a frog.

You hear them, don't you?]

Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's Route)

Transcript:

[Is our world an odd world? Is it a wrong world?

What is so odd about it? What is wrong with it?

I don't understand it. Because I have been happy since I came here. I think it is okay as is.

Am I the odd one? Should I not be satisfied with it? There is nothing wrong with being satisfied, right?

I thought so. It's not a bad thing at all.]

Honda / Chapter 9: Your World (after final bogie upgrade)

Transcript:

[Because of you, the passion in me has weakened. Well, I knew it was coming. I just have to accept it.

I don't know what I should do to fill this emptiness. But I am sure there is still something I can do.

I had a long chat with Enusan for the first time in years. I've been taken over by the manufacturing fever up to now, but having some quiet time isn't that bad.

It's not bad to listen to the sound of frogs. And listening to female machines talk is not so bad either. I guess I have been away from things like that for quite a while.

I have done nothing for Enusan until now. But all male machines were like me. That used to be the norm.

What a foolish norm it is. A really foolish norm.]

Honda / Chapter 9: Your World (after final bogie upgrade)

Transcript:

[I've always worked alone. I just did what I can do on my own. I know that big things can be done with many machines.

But I believe works that can be done on one's own is of value by itself. Just think about it, young man.

No matter what, if you can't do it by yourself, it means you can't live alone. Everything starts with doing what we can on our own.

I'm not saying that big works have no value. But if works that can be done on one's own are not done, there will be no big work.]

Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's Route)

Transcript:

[Sometimes, I feel like I'm not here even though I am here. Everything seems distant and far away, and I feel a little unsteady.

Does it happen to you?

So it happens to you too. I'm relieved to hear that.

I felt like it was something bad. But I guess I don't have to feel that way anymore.]

Shan / Chapter 7-9 (Shan's route)

Transcript:

[A lot of things spring to my mind when I'm moving around. This happens because I'm moving, isn't it? Moving is wonderful.

Because I won't feel anything if I don't move. I used to be like that.

If we don't move, everything will sink. Everything will sink to the bottom.

I guess everybody will sink here...

Oh, I'm doing all the talking. I'm sorry I dumped it on you like that. ...But I'm glad... I got to talk with you.]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (after secret can quest)

Transcript:

[Mysterious things are things that existed in a mysterious world.

It is different from our world, and there is no way for us to find out what kind of world it is.

We have our own world, so I guess that's alright. But you know what?

Isn't it exciting that a world we don't know exists somewhere?

I don't know much about Newm. But I understand how he felt. He wanted to go to a different world.

Somewhere not here. Where he is surrounded by things he doesn't know. Where everything is new to him.

But there's no guarantee that a different world is a good world. It might be worse than here. That's likely, isn't it?

But you know, it doesn't matter if it's better or worse. The important thing is that it is a different world. Well, that's what I thought.

But now, I'm not sure of it. You want to know why? It's because my world broadened a bit thanks to my husband.

... Perhaps the size of the world is what we make it.]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (Silk Drawers Core Memory)

Transcript:

[...Silk Drawers.

This... this looks like something outrageous.

And what is this picture of a face? Why is a face like this drawn on it? I've never seen something that gives me chills this much.

...But it makes me feel a little nostalgic too. Why do I feel this way? This is a really strange thing.]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (Diving Suit Core Memory)

Transcript:

[Diving suit... Is this for diving into the sewage? But we can't wear it with a shape like this.

Maybe it is for shadows to wear. But I can't think of any reason for shadows to dive into sewage.]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (Worn Out Socks Core Memory)

Transcript:

[Worn out socks... There are holes, and they look really used all right...

...These tubes look soft and are curved a little. What were they used for?

You probably put something in them... I wonder what kind of things were put inside...]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (Bus Stop Core Memory)

Transcript:

[Bus stop, huh... Bus... I wonder what this bus is like. This is a place where it stops, right?

I wonder where it stops. Does it stop on this round part?

It looks like an ordinary sign board. But I can't imagine how it'll look if this so-called bus stops on it.]

Enusan / Chapter 9: Your World (Butter Knife Core Memory)

Transcript:

[Butter knife...

It seems like it's made of metal. And it does look like something of this world. It might come in handy when eating crab butter.

But I clearly feel it. This is one of the mysterious things.

I feel like I hear stories about these mysterious things floating out from them. Stories of a world we don't know.

Looking at this makes me feel a little sad. I wonder what happened...]

Shan / Chapters 7-9 (Shan's route)

Transcript:

[I'm sorry... I know I'm being persistent. I will stop thinking about the things I can't recall.

And I can't really blame everyone for passing by.

If I keep thinking about those things I can't understand, all the things I want to value right now are going to disappera. I'm sure that's going to happen.]
