"An Incomplete Map"
Hey, Gerald.
These two have stopped moving.
They're the ones who will fail.
Never take your eyes off them.
Forgive me.
Perhaps we should send Edward a message.
Aileen.
Yes, ma'am,
Must they send these inane messages?
And can't these soot pigeons
deliver them quietly?
Come look at this! Shaun is going down!
What?!
Oh, it was just a pit trap.
That fool!
Neglecting to show elevation
on the map was by design?
As expected, it seems
Lou will arrive first.
Perhaps not.
It's about to get interesting.
Lou!
What the hell?
Is Lou out of the picture?
Lou! Wait! I wasn't trying
to steal your shears!
I'm, um so glad you're all right!
Has my face been harmed?
I can't tell when you're that close.
You look fine.
Then let's go.
Do you have any feelings at all?
She ignored me!
I'm amazed you didn't fall off that cliff.
I grabbed a vine and hung on.
You're bleeding. Doesn't it hurt?
It hurts.
Wait.
Sit.
There. That should do it.
Seeing you all bloodied was repulsive.
You're concerned for me?
Don't flatter yourself!
The only one I'm worried
about is Master Patrick.
I imagine he's feeling quite anxious.
Damn it. What is this place?
How dare you coop Patrick up like this?
You'll pay for this, Edward.
Ricky, get over here, already.
Come to the rescue.
You will come, won't you?
What is Patrick supposed
to do without you?
Somebody open up this damn thing!
Enough! This is absurd!
Don't keep Patrick cooped up like this!
This is no way to treat a shadow!
Please. This is unbearable.
Ricky. Ricky
Master Patrick?
Is that your voice I hear?
Don't worry. I'll help you.
Good day, Master Patrick. Can you see me?
I don't think he can see you
with your eye pressed so close.
Oh, really?
You're Sunshine? Emilico, was it?
That's me!
Wait, did you hear what Patrick
was saying a moment ago?
Yes. I'm sorry, but I heard what you said.
This is absurd! Patrick doesn't
get rescued out of pity!
And especially not by a failure like you!
Get out of here!
No one makes a fool of Patrick!
I'm not!
Liar! How could you not be?!
I said I'm not!
Put a cork in it! Go away, already!
I can't do that!
No one would wish to be
left all alone in such a place.
I never imagined that a shadow master
would be confined like this.
I'm worried about Mistress Kate.
And Ricky is worried
about you, Master Patrick.
I know! I'll catch you up about Ricky.
Edward read us a rule that said no harm
must come to a living doll's face.
So Ricky chose a soot suit
to protect his face.
He's really using his brain.
Oh, and a shadow's attire
must not get dirty.
You must take care, Master Patrick.
Let's see. The crate is locked,
and there's a single air hole.
Are there any hints about opening it?
You won't pass the
test if you help Patrick.
How can I fail for helping?
As long as I'm being of service,
I'm more than happy!
Enough. Hurry up and go find Kate.
Huh?! But--
Save your scorn!
Ricky will be the one to save Patrick!
He will come.
Besides, it will look bad
if Patrick doesn't wait.
I almost stole Ricky's
chance to do his job.
Well, please at least accept
what I drop through the hole.
What's this?
An orange. It will boost your energy.
Here's one more thing.
It's a pretty flower I picked on the way.
It will help the time fly
if you look at it.
Goodbye.
Next time, I look forward to
seeing you along with Mistress Kate.
A flower? Sunshine really is
the perfect nickname for her.
A heavy door? That's some
pretty plain-vanilla abuse.
Shaun!
Emilico!
Three of the dolls have
come together here.
Shaun certainly looks promising.
If Dorothy were Sunshine,
she'd use him to her advantage.
Sunshine does not think like that.
If Ryan were Shaun,
he would use that heavy door
to trap and eliminate them.
Then again, trapping them
would be a waste.
Their looks of despair
would truly be a sight to see!
What a creep.
Have you not read their profiles?
The three of them are fast friends.
And neither of you is Shaun or Emilico.
This is what makes those two so unlikable.
Something is written under the dots
marking the shadow masters' locations.
But I can't see very well.
Can you read it?
This isn't writing!
It's not?
It looks like a line.
No one can write that small.
That's true.
Let's share our routes so far.
The black dots caught my eye,
but I wanted to join up
with you first, so I came here.
Wouldn't you rather investigate
that explosion together?
This dot is Master Patrick.
I think the explosion was here,
where there's a shadow master.
I saw it from high up.
I suspected as much.
It has me worried,
so let's head there next.
Sounds good.
If we want the shortest route
through the labyrinth,
we'll have to pass through
the area we are in now.
Another head-scratcher.
It's not on the map.
And there's no way to open these bars.
Can't you climb over the wall?
No, the trees on the
other side are full of thorns.
Plus, we found each other.
Let's finish this together.
Thank you so much!
There's something
about these animal statues.
There's a gap at the base.
It turns!
Muddy water!
Now that's a stupid trap.
Forgive me, Shaun!
I didn't mean to get you dirty!
Don't worry.
Now we know the statues move.
I bet one of them is a
switch for opening the bars.
But the others could be more traps.
There might even be one
that harms your face.
Maybe we should take the long way through.
You're overthinking things, Shaun.
Let's relax on this bench
and eat an orange!
You'll never change.
Is that from the greenhouse?
That's a lot of stuff.
It will be hard to push uphill.
We already did.
The weight from sitting
That's it!
The statues are a diversion.
The bench is the switch!
And it's built for three.
Let's all sit down!
Nothing happened!
Oh, right. Masters
and dolls come in pairs.
There's no need for a three-seater.
F-Forgive me.
It was Shaun's idea for
the three of us to sit.
Oh, um Benches such as
these are often found in gardens.
They are placed for
viewing special scenery.
The view here is quite nice!
The way those trees overlap
makes them look like a rabbit!
Let's go!
What in the world happened?
Soot.
There are footprints here.
Whose could they be?
Master John.
Let's follow them!
Was he caught in a trap?
Who would do such a thing?
Master John!
It's hard to see around here,
and the footprints are gone.
He's moving on his own,
so he must be fine!
Maybe he's on a walk!
You're right. That sounds like
something Master John would do.
A phantom!
No, it's just a folly.
Don't scare me like that.
What's a folly?
A structure or other feature placed
in a garden for decorative purposes.
They can even be hideous.
It's huge! I'm going to climb up!
Go ahead. I'll devise a plan.
Okay!
If Master John is on a walk,
he'll be hard to find.
With this terrain, we could
nearly cross paths and not notice.
Maybe we should split up and search.
It's Emilico from the beast's hair!
I started out so close to Master John,
but I was so bent on solving riddles
that I ended up heading
in Emilico's direction.
That's just like you, Shaun.
Master John?!
Hi.
What are you doing up there?
What is John doing? This folly is
so big and perfect for climbing.
I'm glad you're safe.
How'd you get out of the crate?
Soot is quite remarkable.
Or perhaps one could say,
John is quite remarkable.
In short, it was like, wham, bang, kaboom!
Master John, you have
some amazing soot power, too!
Shaun?
Master John, your clothes are
A shadow's attire
must not
get dirty.
What?! No one told John about that.
Is there nothing we could do?
I don't know.
Shadows emit soot that
slowly dirties their clothes.
Putting someone like that
in such a confined space
Damn you, Edward!
John's power will blow away
every speck of soot!
Master John, you'll just make it worse!
Depriving one of such information
results in a huge disadvantage!
John must go back and warn Kate!
Did you see Mistress Kate?
John is aiming for the top!
What?
In other words, the path that
goes uphill leads to Mistress Kate!
Emilico, why do you suddenly
understand everything Master John says?
John had a word with Kate and
What's the matter?!
Your fiancée?!
King of Shadows House?!
Not another word!
John knows what you're thinking!
It sounds completely crazy.
Blurting it all out like
that was not intentional!
But it can't be helped
when one is nervous.
I never knew Master John lost
his inhibitions when nervous.
Don't feel blue.
Have an orange!
That's a map, not a napkin.
Come to think of it, you're Kate's face.
Yes, sir!
Don't tell her what you just heard.
Yes, sir!
Here you are.
You're adorable, like a little sister,
but a bit too childish for Kate's face.
Then again, John fell
for what's inside of Kate.
Plus, she has fine soot.
And you can tell how beautiful
her heart is by looking at her face.
The face one cultivates
reflects one's self.
That means Kate must have
an adorable side just like you.
Nobility and sweetness all in one package!
But enough about that.
Emilico, it won't be easy saving Kate.
Huh?
Oh, I see. Mistress Kate is
in a frightening predicament.
Surely you'll think of something.
You're a fine face.
Shaun, may I borrow your magnifying glass?
I will check the route to Mistress Kate.
It's too dark here.
Rum, may I borrow your lantern?
Mm-hmm.
Magnifying glasses are so much fun!
Oh, an ant just crawled onto the map!
Stop playing around.
She's far too optimistic,
but it's one of her charms.
You know that writing you thought
was under the dots? I figured it out.
I thought it was a single line,
but a closer look reveals dashes.
It's a code for the rankings
we received in the debut hall.
Here's Master John
Master Patrick
Mistress Louise
Mistress Shirley
and Mistress Kate!
Now we know where each shadow master is!
Isn't that wonderful, Rum?
Mistress Shirley is close by.
I held the map too close,
and it started to burn!
But what an interesting pattern!
There are scorches where
the orange juice dripped.
There are other strange
scorches like this one.
Let's try my map, too.
Try John's, too.
Master John?!
Nice work, Rum!
The dark areas that appear are
Elevation! This will help figure out
how the paths are connected!
You're amazing, Shaun!
We should check the sootglass
to see how much time is left.
Sootglass, sootglass
There's 50 minutes left.
"Based on the amount of soot in the
sootglass and the distance walked"
Forget the sootglass.
She calculated the time!
Wow. Who knew you could do that?
Now then
What shall we do with Master John's
soot-stained clothes?
Maybe there's a change
of clothes near the exit.
Besides, is it really that bad?
You're filthy.
What a royal pain.
John is going to clobber Edward!
Wait a moment.
I think I figured it out.
Look at this.
There's no soot there!
Let's go have a look, Shaun.
Yes, sir.
But we can't see the rest of
the information on your map.
She said she's memorized
the map, so you can have hers.
The whole map? Really?!
Thanks, Rum.
One more thing.
About the path that leads to Kate
The bridge John crossed to get there
collapsed.
What?!
There was a warning
written in front of it.
It said, "Two crossings only."
The only way now is
that dreadful maze below.
I'm getting dizzy just looking at it.
All your wandering has complicated things.
Shaun, you've adopted a rather
casual tone toward your master.
F-Forgive me.
No.
It's perfect.
There's only one path on the
lower level that leads to the exit.
So it's Mistress Kate,
Mistress Shirley,
and then the exit.
That's the only route from here.
No, we should use this path on the
right to head back the way you came.
The path to Mistress Kate
looks kind of hard.
I want to help you.
You already did.
You noticed the lines below the dots.
And you told me how
benches are used in gardens.
I wouldn't have noticed the rabbit unless
you had told me about viewing the scenery.
I've gotten this far thanks
to you, Rum, and Master John.
Each doll must save their own master.
That's what Master Patrick told me.
Shaun, you must be
the one to save Master John!
You're right.
Well, Emilico, this is where we part ways.
All right.
Rum, at first I thought you were
all wishy-washy and helpless.
But I was wrong. You're quite
capable, and you've got guts.
May we all make it through
the debut and meet once more!
Next episode, "In the Palm of His Hand."
