I'm wrong?

Tell me how I'm wrong. You throw us out here on the battlefield like we're

weapons to be used until we break, all while watching from your warm, safe

inside the wall, all while acting like all's right with the world as we fight

and bleed and die.

If that's not treating us like pigs, then tell me what is!

Do you think that if you just act nice and talk to us every day that it's some

kind of substitute for treating us as human? You didn't care enough to ask us

for our real names.

It never... even crossed your goddamn mind.

Leo. Shut up, Ryden. This white pig doesn't deserve your help.

Understood.

Hey, Handler One, just kill the sink.

This battle is already over. You don't need to monitor us anymore.

Laughing Fox went too far, but none of us are in the mood for a...

friendly little chat with you right now.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to die.

I'm sorry, Kai.

I did the same thing as the white pigs.

I tainted your death.

Thank you.

Whitey! Would I kill you to stay put?

Whitey!

Theo? That's a fox, not a cat.

Pretty freaky one, too.

And it's not laughing.

You're supposed to be laughing, Fox.

Will you leave me alone?

Are you still upset over yelling at that woman, I mean?

No, not at all. Curious. I, for one, am very upset.

You and me both.

Oh, Theo.

Don't you move a muscle!

I've been upset ever since this button came off. The real upsetting thing is he

only buttons one button. What's wrong with that? I think the look really suits

you. I don't want to hear it.

What doesn't suit you is how you acted.

The way you said it was a problem.

But what you said reminded me of the Fox Commander.

Seriously, guys, come off it already. Truth be told, it's hard for us to not

jealous. You're the only one of us who have ever met someone like that.

Someone like what?

Someone who will always be important to you.

They were... They were never like that for me.

I'm telling you, Shin, you can't wreck your unit again. Can you try and stay

until our next shipment of parts arrives?

If I can.

Hey, Theo.

Don't you start giving me trouble, too.

You guys are all such kids.

One of these days, he'll burst that vein in his head.

Someday I'd like to return from a mission without making him mad.

I'm not holding my breath.

Thank you.

The Commander.

What would he have done with that handler?

The Fox Commander?

Yeah. Would he have gotten mad at her?

I guess it doesn't really matter.

I can't see that white pig in Saint's clothing ever using the Pararate again

after all that.

Your Commander never would have said that.

That's what you're thinking, isn't it?

Do you need something?

Handler One?

At the end of the day, you're a citizen of the Republic.

We just have to accept that we live in a different world than they do.

I refuse to accept that.

I could never forgive myself if I did.

Then what would be acceptable to you?

Going to their district?

Fighting alongside them?

You can't do that.

What you should be doing right now is spoiling yourself silly.

I made way too much pudding.

Sorry, Annette. I'm not exactly in the pudding mood.

Someone's gotta eat them.

That's World's a Wonderful Place. Here, we've got the freedom to sneak a little

pudding snack into the middle of our day.

It's not wonderful.

Not at all.

Why is it such a big deal that you didn't ask for their names?

It's not like there's any reason to know them.

You're never going to meet these processors or anything.

You're Henrietta Penrose.

Uh, yeah, what's up?

All I did was say your full name.

It's a name I know very well.

The name of my best friend.

What's your point?

We are the names we carry, and it never once crossed my mind to ask them for

theirs.

I treated them all as though they were less than human.

You're overthinking this.

It's not like you and the 86 are best pals or anything like that.

But we're all human, aren't we? If you really believed that, you'd know their

names. And we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Honestly, this seems like the breakpoint you needed.

It's time for you to stop trying to be their best friend.

I don't get it. Why are you so set against them? Because there's nothing we

do.

There's pudding here.

And not there.

We are totally different than they are.

In every way.

Any involvement with them would only lead to regret.

But still... Lena, the war's been going on for a while now.

There's no going back to how things were.

So anyhow, you should just hang up your handler hat and come join me in the lab.

I told you!

I can't quit.

Not this.

You should listen when your best friend gives you advice.

We're going to the battlefield.

So we can see everything that's happening with our own eyes.

Our country's in the middle of a war, right, Father?

That's correct.

And beyond that, our nation's involved in something even worse. Even worse than

war? Hmm.

Our responsibility is to bring it to an end.

Quickly.

Pilot, can you take us a little past the front line base?

Yes, sir, Colonel.

What's wrong?

I still can't forget it.

The very last place my father took me.

The battlefield in District 86.

I'm still sad about what happened to him.

But I'm grateful that I could see it for myself.

You're grateful?

Yes. Because I saw the 86th District with my own eyes.

I was able to learn the truth about this country.

I was able to hold on to the ideals that the Republic threw away.

So...

Václav was a good man, a kind man, who wanted to make the Republic a better

place. I'm sure he was a good husband and father, too.

That's why he decided to teach you the truth about this country.

Speaking as his friend, the loss of a man as righteous and just as your father

is one of the single greatest blows an enemy attack has ever dealt us. And yet,

there's something your father failed to grasp.

He what?

What do you mean?

Your father was no different from any other citizen.

He didn't do anything more than watch the war unfold around him. Despite

preaching equality, he wasn't a fighter in the end. He felt subconsciously that

death on the battlefield was purely for the 86.

That's why he was able to take you into a war zone.

The fact that your father did something so reckless solely for the sake of his

ideals proves his ignorance and his stupidity.

Lena, I just don't want you following in your father's footsteps.

Chin up now.

You're doing a good job.

I'm aware of the weight I put on your shoulders by assigning you a difficult

unit. I wanted you to feel for yourself the harsh reality of this nation. But

you don't need to do it if it's too much for you.

No, I'm more than willing to continue serving as the handler of the

What do the colors of the Republic flag stand for?

First is freedom, equality, brotherhood, justice, and nobility.

What are you... Do you think you're upholding those five tenets?

Look at the world. Those values have vanished from this republic.

You are relentless in your search for the ideal, within others and yourself

alike. But an ideal, by definition, is unattainable, a mere dream of

Chasing after them when you know their pure fantasy is both foolish and

cowardly. Wouldn't you agree?

If that's not treating us like pigs, then tell me what is!

Do you think we're out here fighting because we want to be? Is that why we

this? You locked us out here! You forced us to fight!

You caused the deaths of millions over the last ten years!

And you've done nothing to stop it!

Do you think that you can finally smash the last remnants of the wicked and

fight? Glory to Son Magnolia!

You aren't cut out for this job.

Someone else will take your place.

Before you regret it. I don't want to die.

Pararate! Activate!

Synchronization target!

Undertaker!

Do you need something?

Handler One?

Hello, Undertaker.

May I have a brief moment of your time?

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

About yesterday.

And every day before it.

I'm really, really sorry.

I, uh... I'm Vladilena Milize, but I usually go by Lena.

And I... I know that I should have asked this sooner.

But I'm asking you now.

Would you please tell me your names?

If you're bothered by what Laughing Fox said to you...

Don't be.

He doesn't speak for all of us, least of all yesterday.

You didn't create the situation we're in, and there's no way any one person

could fix it on their own.

We know that.

Blaming yourself for not doing the impossible will only result in more

But still, I should have asked you all for your names.

I should have been better. There was no need to ask.

Why do you think it's required to use call signs on the Pararate?

Even though the Legion can't intercept it.

And why do you think all the processors' personnel files are locked?

Without personal information, handlers won't have to think of processors as

human. Exactly.

Most processors die during their first year of combat.

They probably assumed all of those deaths would be too much for your

handler to bear.

But that's so cowardly! I... I was... cowardly

too.

Honestly, I fully intended to run away from this yesterday.

But I... I don't want to stay a coward forever.

I need to move forward.

So please, tell me who I'm working with.

I want to know your real name.

Kirshbluta, the girl who died yesterday, was Kaie Tania.

Our exo -werewolf is Raiden Shuga.

Laughing Fox is Theotorica.

Snow Witch, Anju Emma, Gunslinger, Kurena Kukumela.

Black Dog is Daya Ernst.

That's all of them.

I can't thank you enough.

And from now on, please, call me Lena.

You told me your name, but what's your rank?

Oh, Major.

But that's a recent development.

I'll call you Major Milise from now on.

Is that alright?

Sure.

What exactly are you doing?

I'm leaving Kai's name behind.

Huh?

86 don't get graves.

In my first unit, we all made a promise to each other.

When someone died, we'd carve their name into a fragment of their juggernaut,

and the survivors would carry it with them.

And at the last of us to survive, we'd be able to take the others to their

destination.

I was the last.

I've always been the last.

I've carried the job with me from unit to unit.

Five whole years of that?

In all that time?

How many of your comrades have died?

561.

Including Kaie.

And all of those people?

I remember everyone, because I have to take them all with me.

Every last ally who died fighting by my side.

Until I reach my final destination.

That's why you use the callsign Undertaker?

That's part of it.

I've never done that.

I felt guilt over people dying, but never reckoned with their deaths.

I regret that.

I really do.

Um, if at all possible, do you think I could apologize to everyone in the unit?

Shall I connect you?

Like right now? No, you don't have to do that.

But Shin already told you our names, didn't he? Guy's a real pain in the...

did. But that's hardly the same as hearing your names from you directly.

Why'd you have to go and tell her? Because you regretted it, right?

Not what you said, but how you said it.

My call sign comes from the emblem painted on my juggernaut, a laughing

But I got it from someone else.

The combat commander of the first unit I was ever attached to.

A commander so cheerful it bordered on stupid.

But he was strong, too. A former soldier.

And an Alba, like you.

A weirdo who said it wasn't right to make the 86 fight alone.

And who came back to the battlefield so we wouldn't have to.

I hated him.

But still, the guy never left us.

He stayed.

And died.

He died as one of our rear guard, defending our fellow processor.

Now, I'm not asking you to follow in his footsteps or anything like that, but as

long as you're cozied up inside the wall, you are not our equal.

We're not going to accept you as one of our own.

And that's that.

Was that commander of yours the good Alba that Kaie told me about?

There's more than just one out there, Kaie.

She was referring to every Alba who'd fight with all they had.

Everyone who tried to rail against this crappy world that their fellow Alba

created.

Okay, big stupid speech over.

Oh yeah, and the name's Theodo Ricca. Call me Theo or Ricca or cute little

pig or whatever the hell else you feel like calling me.

I'm really sorry for the way I acted.

Seriously, we're good, so just hurry up and get over it already.

Executive Officer, Raiden Suga.

Go on.

First, let me apologize.

Your nightly calls made us think of you as a wannabe saint and a hypocrite.

A pig who didn't realize how much of a pig she was.

We laughed at you behind your back.

I want to apologize for that.

I am sorry.

With that out of the way, as Theo said, we don't think of you as an equal or as

a comrade.

You're an idiot who's stomping on our faces while trying to calm us down with

platitudes. No matter what, that's not going to change.

That's how we'll always see you.

But if you're okay with that, we'll keep talking with you to kill some time.

Can't say I'd recommend it, though.

Honestly, you're just not Handler material.

You should probably just quit.

I'm not quitting.

If it'll help you pass the time, I'll keep calling.

Really embracing the idiot thing, huh?

By the way, could you send that map over you mentioned?

You were so busy crying yesterday, I think you forgot about it. Right away.

We'll talk to you later, Major Millise.

This has been Daiei Irma. Haruto here. Nice to meet you.

Anju Emma.

At your service.

I'm Karina Kugumila.

Lekka here.

Tisei. And I'm Kino.

Thank you, everyone.

Uh, excuse me, Undertaker?

Yeah?

actually got your name, did you not want to give it for some reason?

No, it simply slipped my mind.

I'm sorry?

Shinae Nozen.

Nozen? What's the matter?

Well, do you know a man by the name of Shourei Nozen by any chance?

His call sign was Dullahan, and his emblem was a headless knight.

He's my brother I'm with you
