Grandfather: Hannah, that door won’t open.

Text: Chapter 1

--

Hannah: But…Grandfather…it’s here, I can hear it…

--

Grandfather: You can hear it? Hear what?

Hannah: I don’t know…

--

Hannah: But… // Everyone says it’s here…

Page 3:

Woman: Joseph passed away?

--

Hannah: I’m sorry for being late to inform you.

Woman: I see…he died during the epidemic…
There won’t be any more dolls made by him…

--

Woman: Hannah, are you alright?

--

Hannah: Yes…I don’t think my grandfather would want to see me upset.

--

Woman: You’re strong…

--

Woman: If you have any trouble, I'm always here.

--

Hannah: Thank you very much.

Page 4:

Box: Running away.

--

Text: What will happen to the shop? Will you be taking over?

--

Text: Hmm?

Text: The doll Hannah made two years ago was amazing.

--

Text: Two years ago…

--

Text: It seems like you sold it, I was disappointed… // Please let me know if you make another doll.

Page 5:

Box 1: Several days ago, my grandfather died of an epidemic. / He was stubborn and antisocial, but he raised me all by myself after my parents died when I was 5.

--

Box 2: My grandfather was a skillful doll maker. / Orders came, not only from England, but also from abroad.

--

Hannah: A new doll…

Text: If I could, I’d make one. I would…

Page 6:

Hannah: Grandfather…

--

Text: Don’t cry… // Don’t cry… // Don’t cry…

Hannah: Everyone…

--

Hannah: Thank you…

--

Emily: Lady Hannah…

Page 7:

Hannah: Emily, what’s wrong?

--

Emily: I found this when I was sorting out Lord Joseph’s study.

--

Hannah: A key?

--

Emily: One of them is probably the key to that door.

Text: Stop…that door won’t open…

--

Text: Grandfather…

Page 8:

Text: Why wasn’t I allowed to open it?

--

Text: There’s nothing here, the door won’t open, alright?

--

Text: Hannah, you understand, don’t you?

--

Hannah: It opened…

--

Text: A cellar?

--

Text: Here… // I’m here…

Page 9:

Emily: Lady Hannah…

Text: Since I was a child, the light only I could see… // The voice only I could hear…

--

Hannah: There was a room like this down here…

--

Hannah: There’s something here…

--

Emily: Lady Hannah, it’s dangerous!

--

Hannah: It’s okay, Emily. I didn’t have a bad feeling when you called me.

Emily: Lady Hannah…

Page 10:

Hannah: This is… // a coffin?

--

Hannah: Why is this here?

--

Emily: Lady Hannah?!

Page 11:

Text: A doll…

--

Hannah: He’s so beautiful…

--

Text: Is he one of Grandfather’s dolls? No…

Page 12:

Text: Could it be…?

Hannah: Emily, give me the other key…

--

Hannah: There it is…

Text: A key hole in his back…

--

Text: Could it be…?

Page 13:

Text: He moved!

--

Will: Hey.

Page 14:

Will: Were you the one who woke me?

--

Hannah: He spoke! // Emily, what should I do? He spoke!

--

Will: Are you listening to me?

Emily: Lady Hannah, it’s dangerous!

--

Will: Answer me.

--

Will: Are you my owner?

Hannah: Eh?

Text: Owner?

Page 15:

Will: Why are you surprised? / She’s just like us elemental dolls.

Emily: Lady Hannah, stay back.

--

Hannah: Elemental dolls?

Text: What are those?

--

Will: This is the first time I’ve seen a doll that can move like us.

--

Will: Hey, are you listening?

Emily: Stay back, you rude man!

Text: Us?

--

Will: I’m rude? You’re the one who’s rude for not answering my question!

Page 16:

Emily: I wouldn’t get near someone like you, / someone so rude // and with such a rough expression on his face!

Hannah: Emily…what’s wrong?!

--

Hannah: Emily!

Page 17:

Text: Hey! // Hey! It’s the doll girl!

--

Text: You’ll get touched by a doll! // Let’s get out of here!

--

Hannah: …

--

Grandfather: Hannah…this is where you were…

--

Hannah: Everyone calls me “the doll girl”. They don’t want to play with the doll girl.

--

Grandfather: Hannah, do you hate dolls?

--

Hannah: I don’t hate them. I thought it’d be nice if I could talk to Grandfather’s dolls.

Page 18:

Grandfather: In that case, I’ll make a friend for you.

--

Grandfather: A doll with blue eyes, just like you.

--

Hannah: Grandfather…thank you…

--

Hannah: Umm… // I want to make dolls too!

--

Grandfather: I’ll teach you when you’re a little older.

Hannah: Really…that’s a promise?

Grandfather: Yes…then…

Page 19:

Text: This time I’ll make a friend by myself.

Hannah: I’ve done it! / My first doll…

--

Hannah: My friend…

--

Hannah: I’ve got to give her a name!

--

Text: Who are you?

Emily: Will you stay by my side?

Page 20:

No text.

Page 21:

Hannah: I’m glad you’re awake!

Emily: Lady Hannah…

--

Hannah: Emily, I’m sorry…I forgot to wind you up… / Even though I do it every day…

Text: My first friend… That time, Emily said she wanted a body…

--

Text: I gave her a doll’s body…

Emily: It’s okay.

--

Hannah: Wait, I’ll wind you up a little more…

Emily: Okay…

Page 22:

Emily: You!

--

Will: You’re finally awake…

Text: Well, well…

Text: It’s done~

Emily: Hannah…

Hannah: Emily, Will carried you when you couldn’t move.

--

Emily: Will…

--

Emily: Are you going to keep that dangerous doll in the house?!

Hannah: Eh?

Will: For a defective doll, you sure have a lot to say! You can’t even move if you don’t get wound up every day…

--

Text: A defective doll?

--

Text: Emily is…?

--

Hannah: Emily’s not defective! / Don’t say bad things about my friend!

Emily: Lady Hannah…

Page 23:

Will: Your friend? // Once someone winds me up, until the person who winds me up… / my owner dies, I’ll keep moving.

--

Will: In other words, until you die…

--

Will: Once my owner dies, I’ll sleep once more. / I’ll become unable to move, just like that expressionless doll.

--

Hannah: What on earth is Will made of?

Page 24:

Emily: It doesn’t matter about me, but I won’t forgive you for insulting Lady Hannah!

--

Will: Who insulted who?!

--

Emily: You insulted Lady Hannah.

Will: What?

--

Emily: It was Hannah who made me.

--

Will: It can’t be… / You’ve got Shamrock’s…
--

Hannah: Shamrock?

Will: Nothing…

--

Text: Will?

Page 25:

Emily: That dangerous doll decided to stay in one of the spare rooms.

Hannah: Thank you, Emily.

--

Emily: Even if he does have a bad attitude, there’s a limit to how rude he can be!

Hannah: He certainly is quite scary…

Emily: Lady Hannah…what’s that?

Hannah: I found it in the cellar, it looks like there’s something about elemental dolls…

--

Hannah: Dolls like Will and Emily are called elemental dolls…

Text: A doll maker with special abilities made these dolls by sealing a soul inside of a doll. // Just like a living doll, these dolls move, speak and possess feelings.

--

Text: Those lights were a soul?

Hannah: Emily, you were a soul, too?

Page 26:

Emily: I… // never felt strongly that I wanted to be by your side. / The truth is that you have the ability to hear our voices.

--

Emily: It’s thanks to that I have my own body.

Hannah: Emily…

Text: I wonder if the doll maker who created Will was able to hear the souls’ voices too…

--

Text: For a change, I went out at night to get some fresh air. // That night, the lights were brighter than usual.

Hannah: It’s because Will’s here…

--

Hannah: That’s…

Page 27:

Text Will…

--

Text: He can make that sort of expression too…

Will: I see…

--

Will: Then everyone’s nearby…

--

Text: Everyone?

--

Will: Ignis is…

--

Will: You like spying on people, huh?

Hannah: No! I just came to get some fresh air…

Page 28:

Will: You…what happened to my key?

Hannah: Your key?!

--

Hannah: I’ve got it. This is it, right?

--

Will: Don’t move.

Text: Eh…

--

Hannah: Will…?

Page 29:

Will: Don’t lose it.

Hannah: Y-Yes!

Will: Carry it with you all the time.

Hannah: O-Okay!

--

Will: Elemental dolls each have their own key.

--

Will: If someone winds them up using that key, they become the doll’s owner.

--

Hannah: Anyone?

Will: That’s right.

--

Will: If the key is stolen and someone else winds me up…

--

Will: They’ll become my owner.

--

Will: In other words, if you don’t like me, you can get someone else to become my owner.

Hannah: I won’t do that!

Page 30:

Hannah: I’m glad I met you, Will. / If you could become my friend like Emily…

--

Will: Is that an order?

--

Hannah: An order?

Will: An owner can order their doll to do something. / The doll has to follow that order.

--

Hannah: What’s that?

Page 31:

Will: The price we pay for having a body is that we’re unable to disobey our owner’s orders. / It’s that kind of contract.

--

Text: That’s…

Hannah: So, if another person becomes your owner, then you have to listen to what they say?

--

Will: That’s right.

--

Will: Well…was what you said earlier an order?

Hannah: No…

Page 32:

Hannah: It was // a request…

--

Will: I refuse to do it.

Hannah: Eh?

--

Will: Don’t think that I’ll get on with just anybody, like that emotionless doll. / As long as it’s not an order, I can do what I like. I don’t want you interfering either.

--

Text: It’s annoying.

--

Will: Anyway, you can make as many other “friends” as you want, right?

Page 33:

Will: Sorry. / I shouldn’t have said that.

--

Hannah: My grandfather made me stop making dolls.

--

Hannah: I haven’t made any dolls since Emily.

--

Hannah: Even though I was happy to have met Emily, / my grandfather seemed really upset.

Text: What’s the meaning of this? You think this is acceptable?

--

Text: Hannah, listen carefully.

Page 34:

Grandfather: You must not make any more dolls. / Never again…

--

Text: He was so happy when I said I wanted to be a doll maker.

--

Will: You’re getting cold. // Go inside and get some sleep soon. Humans need sleep.

--

Text: Will…

Page 35:

Hannah: Good morning…

Will: Yeah…you get breakfast pretty late, don’t you?

Emily: I see the dangerous doll doesn’t even know how to greet someone properly.

--

Will: Hey.

Text: See!

Hannah: If it’s the key, then I’ve got it with me.

--

Will: It’s not that. This was delivered by a page boy this morning.

--

Hannah: It’s an invitation from Lady Gloria.

Will: Gloria?

--

Hannah: Lady Gloria is the daughter of an earl and one of my Grandfather’s regular customers. // Even though she’s a noble, she still treats me kindly…

Page 36:

Text: You told me of your grandfather’s passing, // it must have troubled you…

--

Will: Well, what did Gloria say?

--

Text: Someone she wants me to meet?

Hannah: Umm… / There’s someone I want you to meet, so please come to visit.

--

Hannah: What could it be?

--

Emily: Hannah, you have a visitor.

Page 37:

Hannah: I’m sorry to keep you waiting…

--

Hobbyrdy: Excuse me, young lady. / My master wanted to see your dolls, so we stopped by at his orders.

Text: He’s beautiful…

Hannah: Like the princes you see in fairy tales…

--

Text: But…what is this strange feeling? // I’ve felt it before…

--

Hobbyrdy: This is Baron Beckford’s son, Lord Irvine.

Text: A noble!

--

Hannah: Pleased to meet you…

Hobbyrdy: Lord Irvine’s hobby is collecting rare dolls. He said that Joseph’s dolls were wonderful.

Irvine: Umm…well…

Page 38:

Hobbyrdy: Lord Irvine, you’re embarrassing the young lady.

--

Hobbyrdy: I told you yesterday, didn’t I?

--

Bobbyrdy: This is how to greet a lady…

Text: Eh?!

--

Hannah: Umm…you are?

Hobbyrdy: My name is of little importance…but if you were to call my name in that charming voice… / please call me “Rudy”…

Will: Heh… / Hey, Hobb. I was wondering who it was, and it’s you…

Hobbyrdy: Will!

Page 39:

Hobbyrdy: Master Will…you’re awake!

--

Hannah: Is he someone you know?

Will: Someone I know? Haven’t you noticed?

--

Will: He’s the same as me.

--

Text: The same as Will?

Hannah: Could he be…

--

Text: He’s an elemental doll too!

--

Will: I know him as “Hobbyrdy” though…

Page 40:

Hobbyrdy: I would have preferred to reveal it in a memorable scene, rather than doing it dramatically, but that came to nothing.

Will: As I’d know what you’re thinking!

--

Text: There are other elemental dolls apart from Will…?

--

Irvine: Hob…byrdy? / You told me your name was Rudy…

Hobbyrdy: Ah…please forgive me, Lord Irvine. It was all down to my whim. / It’s an embarrassing story, but the meaning of the name Hobbyrdy isn’t a good one. / It’s too painful for me to be called by that name, I wanted my precious owner to call me “Rudy”…

--

Irvine: If that’s the case…then Rudy is fine…

--

Hannah: Umm…I’m sorry… / As you can see, my grandfather passed away, so the shop is closed at the moment.

Page 41:

Irvine: I should be the one apologising!

Hannah: N-No…!

--

Hobbyrdy: Well, Lord Irvine, why don’t you invite her to the mansion? She’s a doll maker, so it’d be good for her to see Lord Irvine’s collection.

Irvine: That’s great! By all means!

--

Hannah: I am a doll maker, but I’m just an apprentice…

Text: I had to stop making dolls too…

--

Hobbyrdy: Don’t be modest… / We know that you’re a special doll maker… // A doll maker with the power of Shamrock…

--

Hannah: Shamrock…

Text: “It can’t be…you have Shamrock’s…”

--

Hannah: Rudy…what is Shamrock?

Hobbyrdy: Young lady…you called me Rudy…how kind of you…

Page 42:

Hobbyrdy: Shamrock is… / the doll maker who created us…

--

Text: The doll maker who created Will and Rudy…

--

Text: Just like I thought, he could hear the souls’ voices… // He gave Will and Rudy bodies…

--

Hobbyrdy: Will… // I’ll tell you something since you’ve been sleeping all this time…

--

Hobbyrdy: Ignis desires release…

Will: What?!

--

Text: Ignis?

Hobbyrdy: Well then, we’ll invite you another time…

Page 43:

Hannah: Of course, it’s an amazing house… // I’m nervous…

--

Man: You’re Lady Ellington, aren’t you? I’ll show you the way.

Hannah: Y-Yes…

--

Text: I knew I should have gotten Will to come…

--

Text: It would have been best if Emily were able to go out, but with the body I made, people will know she’s a doll… // If I were a better doll maker, then maybe I’d be able to make Emily a body like Will’s…

--

Text: That light again… // I’m sure it’s coming from the direction of Lady Gloria’s rose garden…

Page 44:

Text: How beautiful…

--

Man: Is something the matter?

Hannah: Hmm? Ah…I’m sorry…

--

Text: Who was that?

Page 45:

Gloria: Hannah, it’s been a long time. // I’m glad you’re doing better than I thought you would be.

--

Hannah: Thank you for inviting me, Lady Gloria. I made you worry…

Text: It seems as if Lady Gloria has become more beautiful…

--

Gloria: When I heard that Joseph passed away, I thought that you wouldn’t leave the house.

Hannah: Oh…

--

Gloria: But you seem really happy now… // Could it be that you’ve found someone to support you?

--

Hannah: Eh…? // N-No…

--

Gloria: Ah! Your face is all red! That’s suspicious…tell me everything!

Hannah: No, there isn’t anyone!

Page 46:

Gloria: Even though I was just getting to the good part! // Please, come in.

Gyl: Excuse me.

--

Text: The person from the rose garden!

Gloria: Gyl, you came at just the right time. There’s someone I must introduce you to.

--

Gyl: Is this the doll maker you spoke of before?

--

Text: They’re tall… // and have a low voice…

Gyl: I’m pleased to make your acquaintance. Please call me Gyl.

Page 47:

Text: Could it be that he’s…?

Gyl: Is something the matter?

--

Gloria: Perhaps she mistook Gyl for a woman.

Hannah: S-Sorry…

--

Text: Even next to Gloria, he’s still incomparably beautiful…

--

Text: That feeling too…

--

Hannah: Umm…Lord Gyl is…

Gloria: Lord…Gyl?

Gyl: Young lady…I’m not deserving of that title…

--

Gyl: As you are a doll maker with an unusual power, it should be me who is respectful towards you.

Hannah: As I thought… // You’re an elemental doll too…

Page 48:

Gyl: I’m one of the five elemental dolls created by Shamrock. // I’m currently serving Lady Gloria.

--

Hannah: Five dolls?

--

Text: Will, Rudy and Gyl… // That means there are two more dolls, doesn’t it? // Gyl is the third elemental doll. // To meet them one after another like this… // I wonder if the other two have awoken?

Page 49:

Text: It would be amazing to meet them…

Gyl: Will you really be returning home alone?

--

Gyl: I’d like to walk you home…

--

Hannah: No…walking me to the gate is enough. // There’s somewhere I’d like to visit anyway.

Text: He’s kind…

--

Hannah: I wonder if I can get along with him, like Gyl and Gloria get along with each other…

--

Gyl: Is there someone you want to understand better?

Hannah: Eh?! No, it’s nothing like that!

--

Will: Hey.

Hannah: Will! What are you doing here?

Page 50:

Will: When we’re home, tell that emotionless doll not to interfere with what I’m doing…

Hannah: Emily…

--

Gyl: Will… // I see, she’s your owner. Well then, I’ll leave her with you.

--

Gyl: You wanted to get along better with him?

Hannah: Eh?

--

Text: Just like I thought, they know each other.

Will: Gyl, you haven’t changed at all.

Gyl: There’s nothing wrong with me being truly happy to meet you again, is there?

Will: Who knows? That’s not for me to decide.

Gyl: I’ll warn you about one thing.

Page 51:

Will: About Ignis? // I met Hobb yesterday.

Gyl: In that case, this won’t take long.

--

Gyl: A doll maker with Shamrock’s power appeared. // You awakened. // Don’t forget what these coincidences may lead to.

Page 52:

Will: Yeah…

--

Text: Ignis…again?

Hannah: Hey… / Who’s Ignis?

--

Will: It’s got nothing to do with you.

Hannah: B-But I’m your owner…

--

Will: If you really want to hear it, then just order me to tell you.

Hannah: Uh…

--

Will: Come on, let’s go home already.

Page 53:

Gyl: Will…treating your owner like that, even for an instant…

Will: Everyone’s different…

Gyl: You shouldn’t worry either. / For a doll, there’s nothing greater than having a doll maker as their owner.

--

Text: A doll maker... // As I thought, the elemental dolls see me as a doll maker…

Page 54:

Will: It’s like you don’t like other people calling you a doll maker.

Hannah: It’s not like that… // It’s just that I’m only an apprentice.

Will: What do you want to do?

Hannah: Hmm?

--

Will: Whether you want to make dolls // is up to you.

Page 55:

Will: Don’t you want to know the reason why you have no doubts / about being forced to stop making dolls?

--

Text: What I want to do?

Hannah: I…

--

Will: Hey. Don’t go any further.

Hannah: What is it?

--

Hannah: Will, what’s wrong?

Will: You can’t go that way.

Page 56:

Hannah: Oh…but that’s… / the fastest way…

--

Text: He disappeared?

--

Will: Hannah?! // Damn it! We were ambushed!

Page 57:

Hannah: Oh…?

--

Hannah: Will…?

--

Text: The fog…

--

Text: Something’s strange…

--

Hannah: Will…where are you?

Text: There’s no one here…

--

Text: Footsteps…

Hannah: Will…is that you?

--

Text: No…it’s not Will!

Page 58:

Text: I’ve got to go home…

--

Hannah: If I turn around this corner, the shop should be…

--

Text: It’s not here…

Hannah: Where am I?

--

Text: There’s so many…

--

Hannah: What’s wrong, everyone?

Text: They’re different from usual…

Page 59:

Hannah: Who are you?

--

Ignis: I’ve been waiting for you, the doll maker’s daughter.

Text: This feeling…it can’t be…

Page 60:

Text: An elemental doll?!

Hannah: Do you want something from me?

--

Text: I have a really bad feeling about this. The other elemental dolls didn’t feel the same as this.

Ignis: That’s right…I do want something…

--

Ignis: Right now, I’ll bring an end to that bloodline. / The cursed power of Shamrock…

Text: W-What?

Ignis: Doll maker’s daughter…you must die!

Pg 61:

Will: You idiot! / Don’t just stand there! You don’t want to die, do you?!

--

Hannah: Will…

--

Ignis: It can’t be…is that you, Will?!

--

Ignis: Someone else can see me?!

--

Will: First of all, put that dangerous sword away, Ignis!

Page 62:

Text: He’s Ignis!

--

Ignis: To think that you had awakened…

--

Will: Why did you try to kill her?! // That shouldn’t be your aim! Were you ordered to do that by your owner?!

--

Ignis: Owner? / I don’t have one.

Will: That’s impossible…

Page 63:

Ignis: Killing that girl is my will alone. / A doll maker is the remnants of sin, the inheritor of Shamrock’s powers…

--

Ignis: That destruction is my duty.
