SONG
Mirror, mirror, please tell him that I love him... in the night
The feeling of sorrow that cannnot be lifted
I fall endlessly through this abyss of pain which cannot be healed... rainy day
I will not be able to sleep tonight
Thrust into a labyrinth of fate
Find me and please show me the way out
STORY
Ver. 2:  Cursor I
KURIYAGAWA 
What a robot!  Not even out of breath. 
Not me! I'm done.  I think I'm going to die!
Sakura, how did you know that Key was there?
I didn't know.  It was a coincidence.  
I came to deliver the pizza.
Weren't you going to eat this?
Crap!  I brought it with me.
And I left the scooter.
Fired, again.
I'm sorry.
Taking it out on you isn't going to help things any.
Anyway, what were you doing there?  
Don't you know what that place is?
But, that man said thirty thousand or forty thousand...
Thirty thousand? What are you talking about?
Oh well, I'll ask you after the shower.
Jeez, I'm hot!  I'm just soaked with sweat.
You're late.
Sorry.  I lost 'em.
Figures they'd give us the slip.
Don't worry about it. Eventually, we'll find out where they are. 
Huh?
She was very courteous.  She left us her business card.
I wonder if she ran away?
Maybe she's planning on staying?
She thinks she'll rust, but I should let her use the shower anyway.  
Yeah, much better.
Are you going out, Sakura?
Yup.
Where?  Shopping?
My job.
Not the pizza place.  Different one.
Gotta earn a living.
It'll be late, so you're welcome to go to sleep.
And if you like, you can have the pizza, too.
Oh, that's right, you're a robot.
It'll be tomorrow's breakfast.
I'm off.  Be good.
I did say I'd listen to your story.
Wanna come with me?
I see, your grandfather passed away.
But about becoming human, thirty thousand seems a little...
He wasn't well, was he?
Do you think he was delirious?
Maybe... not.
You don't believe it?
But... what are thirty thousand people going to do!?  
Are they going to dance around you until you become human?
I'm sorry, Key.
I'm always thinking only of myself,
without even considering how you must feel.
That's alright.
Let's take plenty of time and think about this, how you can become human.
My place is small, but you can stay with me long as you want.
Thank you, Sakura.
Welco-
Good evening... Ms. Chukawa.
It's Kuriyagawa.
Welcome to the shop.
Oh, this is a sample.  Would it be inconvenient to play it?
Thank you very much.  No, we can play it now.
This is Tokiko Mima.  We're old friends.
I'm Tataki.  Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
What is it this time?  A promo video?
Live footage from last year's tour.
Day after tomorrow happens to be the last day of her concert, so...
Sounds like a lot of work.  Like a business.
Nah.  You've always been so helpful, it's worth the extra effort.
Thank you very much for you patronage.
That's Shuichi Tataki.  He's the president of the fan club.
Whose?
The star of this video, of course, the top idol singer Miho Utsuse.
She's really changed.
She always could sing a little, but she didn't seem that great.
Recently, she's been really good.
She comes off cool without sounding obnoxious.
When did she get this way? I wonder if it's a guy.
Could you put this on a tab?  Sakura Kuriyagawa's?
How did... ?
Why don't we step outside?
Don't worry.  The man just wants to have a talk.
What do you want?
Forgot this, didn't you? I thought I'd return it.
That brat of a store manager was quite concerned.
He even told me where you lived.  He thanked me again and again.  And...
You followed me...
I had something important to say. Or else I wouldn't have bothered.
Especially in the middle of the night like this.
Don't come out here.
Hey, sweetheart!
Oh, thank you.
What are you saying?  She's not involved in this.
Indeed, she's not involved.  She's free to go home.
Huh?
Like I keep saying, you're the one I want to talk to. The cute pizza girl.
I see you're a video store clerk now.
Thank you for the scooter.
About business...
Enough already.
I want to scout you.
Yeah, sure.
Why not debut for my company?
Me?  You must be joking.
Don't you get it?  You're great.
You could be going places.  I guarantee it.  You'll make it big.  You'll be a star.
What a laugh.  Do girls still fall for those lines?
I don't have time for this. I'm busy.
During the day I direct traffic at a construction site.
What if I pay what the construction, the pizza place, and the video store pays plus some more?
You'll get two days a week off and I keep only ten percent of the profit.
It's not bad money for starting off.
That much...
Really?  How much is that, Sakura?
Be quiet, Key!
You just said that you had to earn more money.
It's not about money!
We're a stable corporation.
I have no intention of working for you right now.
Right now.  Well then, maybe later.
Don't waste your time!  I'm never going to do it!
Have you had enough yet?  Please go home.
It's an opportunity for us, too.  And, of course, for you.
K, Kuriyagawa!
Excuse me.  I have work to do.
Anyway, we'll be by again.  Maybe by the apartment.
H, hey!
Bye.
What do you mean "bye," you asshole?!
What was that?
She said she wasn't interested!  Why don't you just back off!
Tataki!
I ain't... 
Let'n you off!  Bastard!
W, wha...
I mean you!  Slimeball!
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
You were really great.
I'm a martial arts otaku.
An otaku??
Are you sure you don't want me to stay around until closing?
No, I'm sure they've had enough.
I hope so.
It'll be alright.
Besides, if you don't go soon, you're not going to have time to watch those.
Oh, yeah.  And the late charges are just so expensive here!
Thank you for your patronage!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I shall withdraw. Good-night, Ms. Chukawa.
It's Kuriyagawa.
And...
Mima.
It's Key.
Good-night, Key.
Key, that video; it's over.
It's gotta be a baseball player.
A baseball player?
If you can turn pro, thirty thousand fans isn't a problem.
But, Key is a girl.
Then, a politician... or maybe not.
An important religious figure.
What else?
A king.  A queen.  A president.
Anything else?
Sakura... I'm sorry.
Nevermind.
You wanted that job didn't you?
What are you saying?
The pay was good but, you refused because Key was there.
Damn it!  Then you should have taken the job.
He said you could get thirty thousand, easy.  All perverts.
Key was just...
What a mess.
Who could have...
It was me.
I did it all.
It's the same. Everything's the same.
How do you sleep like that?  I'm off to work.  - Sakura
P.S.  You should at least take a shower.
Mr. President!  We'll have it finished by tomorrow morning's rehearsal.
We have every man on the job, working day and night.
At first, we weren't sure if we could handle this.
But, we were relieved to find that we probably will be able to handle it.
It's all probably thanks to the set...
Uh, no, no, the success of the tour is the result of Miho's talent and popularity, of course.
We just hope that we can be of some assistance to her.
Miho says she'd like to cancel tomorrow.
Is it bad?
They say she can't even get up.
Tell her she'll sing even if she has to do it from her bed.
Also... D has returned.
The set, take it down.
From the top. Use the set from the last number.
But, what...
For the finale of the tour we'll give them Miho, unadulterated.
Without the help of the set.
We're gonna have two hours worth of unplugged.
Key! Key!
Key, Key!
Are you alright, Key!? Are you OK? Are you feeling alright?
Oh... my hands have swollen.
Oh, you!  How long have you been dead?
If I had suggested a bath, you'd have drowned!
What happened?  Anemia?  Oil leak?  Maybe a short-circuit?
I don't understand.  Why was Key asleep?
You don't remember?
Forgive me, Key.
You don't have to force yourself to do these things.
S, Sergei, what did you do with the PPOR?
The diagnostics revealed nothing unusual,
so I placed it in the car on stand-by.
SONG
There may be many times
When I will shoulder the sins of others upon myself  
Translated by Jason Bowhay
and Ben Cantrick
I will not accept it
And if that's what it means to grow up
Timed by Ben Cantrick
and Jason Bowhay 
I don't want to become an adult
I will always be watching over you
Subbed by Mike Urano
I will be the one to hold you
Please don't feel that you are alone
If the tears you cry are because you are sad
Draw your lips closer
When you can't sleep nights, give me a call
I will not do what you don't want.
Please look my way
I love you
