## Summary

Emilico wakes up from a dream from when she lived in a village. She is shaken out of melancholy by frantically getting dressed and sees a new Living Doll receiving a tour from her team members. A gloomy Emilico returns to Kate's room who decided to help Emilico clean as she wishes to alleviate stress. They exchange light chat then gather with the rest of the children in the great hall, determined to change the system of the House.

## Plot

Emilico notes that things look bright outside, seeing a bird outside a window which flies away when she opens the window. She suddenly wakes up to her hand hitting the grate of her box bed noting that this is the first dream she ever had. Sitting up, Emilico compares the life in the dream to that as a Doll but the bell for morning cleaning rings and hurriedly gets ready as Mia knocks on her door. Walking with her team, Emilico goes over the daily routine noting she is out of breath despite going through this every day and talks out loud about the busyness. Getting their tools, Emilico sees a new Doll receiving a tour from her team members and grows sad seeing how easily Dolls are replaced.

She goes to Kate's room, wishing she could drink some coffee to erase her pains. Emilico is surprised to see her tools out but is happy to see Kate wearing an apron, having started cleaning in advance to help. After cleaning, Emilico relates the story of her dream to Kate which is a sign of the coffee wearing off and notes that it is still hard to shake off the effects of the Doll's lifestyle. Kate notes that every part of a Doll's life is to make them unaware of being human which will allow them to go with fusion with no problems, noting that Emilico is going through a hard life. Despite this, Emilico is happy that she can clean and eat at the same table as Kate. Hearing a bell, the children gather in the great hall as Kate exclaims to herself that the children were brought to the House to die and resolves to change this system.
