"Number 18684,
Sister Krone,
you are hereby appointed Mother of Plant 4"?
I'm being made a Mother?!
Yes.
There's a sudden vacancy for the position of Plant 4's chief breeder.
And since I've been recommending you for ages, you finally get your chance.
You recommended me?
Grandma's at the gate to pick you up.
Pack your things right away and return to HQ.
Right... away?
This is goodbye.
Good luck at your new post.
What's the matter?
Are you unhappy?
Of course not. This is a great honor.
I'll get ready at once.
That bitch...
She's trying to get rid of me.
I have no choice. This is do or die.
I'll never let her have her way!
Mom!
Krone!
Food's ready!
Huh? Where's Krone?
Isn't she with you?
Is she in her room?
No, she has some work to attend to.
Let's go ahead and eat without her.
Grandma.
There's something you should know.
I'm starving!
Huh?
Krone's not here.
Where's Krone?
She has some work to do.
So what are you saying?
That in addition to what's written here,
other perfect scorers have also learned the secret and are planning an escape?
Exactly! The other two prime products!
I don't have concrete proof of their plans, but please believe me!
Things are not looking good!
If we don't act—
Even so,
they're being kept under control, yes?
As long as they are, there's nothing to worry about.
Because I once did the same.
I can't have you getting in Isabella's way, Sister Krone.
They are special,
both she and her plant.
Isabella is a highly valuable pawn of mine,
and you cannot replace her.
It would greatly inconvenience me.
Only she can provide the finest meal at the Tifari
and bring the farm its largest profits.
I see.
They were in cahoots all along.
I never stood a chance at all!
Let's eat.
You'd better escape, you damned brats.
You're good at tag, aren't you?
Escape,
run,
survive,
and destroy this godforsaken world!
Thanks for the food!
We should get moving and swap the chemicals back over.
Let's go over the plan.
Emma and Norman will climb the wall and check out the surrounding area.
Don and Gilda,
be somewhere you can see the House's second-floor south window from.
If things go wrong and I can't keep Mom occupied, I'll give you a signal.
You let Emma and Norman know to stop recon immediately.
Please work out...
I got rid of her.
I got rid of Sister Krone.
I got rid of her because I didn't need her anymore.
The same goes for you.
As of this moment, our deal is null and void.
You're firing me too?
Why? Don't you need me?!
You need me so you can continue pulling their strings from the shadows!
That's exactly why.
I've been doing a good job!
To you, I've...
Yes, you've always been a useful lapdog.
That's why I kept you around...
Even though you were a lying turncoat.
That shouldn't be a problem for you as long as I still have value!
Indeed.
This is certainly not your fault.
It's unfair termination on my part.
I hate to do this too. I wasn't planning on it.
I didn't want to let you go until the last possible moment.
Then...
But it's out of my hands now.
Things have changed.
So from this point onward, I'll keep them on a leash personally.
I'm sorry, Ray.
Forgive me for what I'm about to do.
Mom!
Stay in there for a while.
I'll let you out once I return.
Now, as for these two markers running through the forest...
Judging by their speed, they must be Emma and Norman.
They're headed straight for the wall.
To scout out the area, perhaps?
Oh, right.
I don't care about those chemicals.
I know you'll protect my life.
For their own sake, you won't let them kill me.
So if you wanted to neutralize me, you would've used a different method.
See you, Ray.
Congratulations on a job well done.
Dammit!
I have to get out of here!
This is a nightmare!
There's no signal.
Yeah.
I hope everything goes smoothly.
What's going on?
Ray didn't give us a signal, but Mom's out here!
What now?
You stay here, Gilda.
Don?!
I'll check inside the House!
Please, open up!
Ray, is that you?
Don!
Get back.
You okay?
I'm fine.
Never mind me! Ray!
Yeah!
Come, Gilda!
Are we calling it off? Should we go stop Emma and Norman?
Nope, we're going through with it! We're gonna stop Mom instead!
Stop Mom?
Looks like we're not gonna get another chance!
We have to make sure they can scout the area before Mom gets in their way!
O-Okay!
Emma.
Yeah.
Why...
Mom.
What's up?
Ten years...
Huh?
We've lived together for ten whole years,
but this will be the first time we talk without any pretense.
Pleased to meet you, Emma, Norman.
You two can ease up.
Don't worry. It's just us here.
There's nobody else around.
You don't have to pretend to be ignorant, good kids.
Right now, we are nothing but breeder and livestock.
But don't misunderstand.
I care very much about you all.
I love you from the bottom of my heart.
I love you like I would my own children.
And that's why I'm here. I want you to give up.
Give up?
Give up what?
Resisting.
I love you, and that's why I don't want to see you in pain.
I don't want to make you suffer.
Don't you think you've led blessed lives?
You've lived in a loving home,
given all the delicious food and affection you could ever need.
Without ever knowing hunger, cold, or the truth,
you die feeling content and satisfied.
What about that makes you unhappy?
"Blessed lives"?
Is dyin' like Conny what you call happiness?
It takes but a moment to die.
But until that moment, Conny lived a life full of love and happiness.
To hell with those fake smiles!
I wanna live free, even if that freedom hurts me!
I wanna decide my happiness for myself!
Emma.
Norman.
It's impossible for you to escape.
The outside world is a scary place, too.
It's filled with despair.
So come on.
Live a happy life at home, together with your family,
until the very end, when the fated time comes.
I want you five to be happy too!
Us... five?
Don't you mean three?
We get it, Mom.
We're done being good kids.
Go, Norman!
Emma!
There there. It's all right.
Pain, pain, go away.
Oh, you poor thing.
My dear Emma.
This is why I told you to give up.
But I'm happy you hugged me again after so long.
And Norman, you did well to realize.
I'm impressed.
You're right.
I only want to keep you under control.
That's how special you kids are.
Very special food that can only be eaten by the most distinguished.
You are the most top-notch children I have ever raised.
Then, why...
That's why I'll use any means necessary to protect you.
I had to do this because you wouldn't give up.
Mom!
What happened to Emma?
Did she get hurt?
Hey...
Now you can't move for a while.
Tomorrow will go as planned.
Tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow.
Celebrate like you always have, Emma.
I've received word from the brass.
Congratulations, Norman.
You're being shipped out.
Today's reddened sky is truly frightening
We would've been so much happier if we didn't know
Before I realize it, another warm light fizzles into the darkness
And with it, the gentle voices we once cherished fade into nothing
Believing in those was all I had left to hold onto
We'll pour our blood, sweat, tears, and determination
Into continuing to live our lives to their fullest
It's too late now to wish for love and happiness
So, move now, these clumsy legs of mine
Break free of this cage to take hold of our bright futures
Make it past our darkest fears and our despair
