| 1 | "The Letter From Papa" "Tōsan Karano Tegami" (父さんからの手紙) | January 6, 2008 |
| The story begins with a brief visual introduction of Simitra, Greece before zooming on our hero Porphyras Patagos initiating his home commute from school which becomes the forum to demonstrate his hobby of observing passing automobiles whose sole flaw is that it is not at all rare for everything else to be abruptly left in the dust—including his little sister Marina who is not shy or quiet about her objurgation which ignites an adversarial divergent concourse between the two siblings much to the envious delight of their best friend Zaïmis—and for it to be explained that Porphyras and Marina's father Christophore has been away on business for some time but is expected to return shortly. The siblings' mother Anek is delighted at Porphyras having the capability to be a little gentleman to Marina but decides that a very frigid dose of family government is needed when she finishes resolving the earthy aftermath of Marina being in over her head with the goats after Porphyras rushes off after a military jeep when she wordlessly walks outside away from the house. Galvanized by the data of his error, Porphyras's search for the lost goat ultimately unearths some insight as to Anek's displeasure with him along with how to redeem himself; satisfied that Porphyras has learned his lesson about why he must not drop everything at the approach of an automobile, Anek serves dinner and then recites a letter delivered from Athens about Christophore's current status which prompts the two kids to compose a reply before Anek declares bedtime and directs the two kids right to bed. | ||
| 2 | "A Friend Came to Visit" "Tomodachi ga Yattekita" (友達がやってきた) | January 13, 2008 |
| The beautiful morning visited unto Patagos-ke heralds Marina racing off to pick tomatoes but coming to a screeching halt upon her mother Anek reminding her to put on a hat to avoid being sunburned before turning her steps upstairs to take the choice away from her son Porphyras about when to finish sleeping; upon doing so, Porphyras takes an interest in her pocket-watch. Anek prosecutes a daydream sequence in which she begins romancing the day when Marina will find her Prince Charming with which she will make a home as an adult at which point she will give Marina the pocket-watch as Porphyras bootstraps himself to go milk the goats; upon seeing her brother milking the goats, Marina decides to get into the act only to find that there is a certain finesse that yields results. The trip to the market to utilize the goat milk in economic interchange becomes the backdrop to not only demonstrate the mechanics of Anek's micro-economy but also for Porphyras and Marina to learn that their mother used to be an urban aristocrat; when inquired the veracity of this data, Anek adds that the epilogue she has chosen is not without its dark side and that her husband Christophore has his own sob story; realizing that her daughter's anguished outburst is because she is low on fuel, Anek is not slow in her affirmation that her family with Christophore is the big reason she ran away from home as she serves Porphyras and Marina their breakfast so that they can begin their school commute. Porphyras and Marina discovering a small owl in their room that night ultimately excites the two kids almost as much as the prospect of their father's return as evidenced by the care package Anek receives; galvanized by the counsel of Zaïmis's father Thomas about the little owl prowling around the area searching for rodents and insects, Porphyras and Marina are pleasantly surprised with an afternoon visit during which they name the owl Apollo. | ||
| 3 | "Picking up Papa" "Tōsan o Mukaeni" (父さんを迎えに) | January 20, 2008 |
| A stopover to kill off time at Zaïmis's house during the school commute becomes the backdrop for Marina to expound excitedly about her affinity for Greek mythology in terms of a harpist named Orpheus that went into the underworld to retrieve his wife Eurydice but violated an injunction against impatience at the end that nullified his efforts; Porphyras rebuffing Marina's imputes that he would defy that condition quickly gives way to Corina arriving with an expensive doll that her father wants her to leave at home. Upon Porphyras and Marina proclaiming that their father Christophore is returning that evening, the two siblings race off toward school with Zaïmis hot on their heels leaving Corina no choice but to follow suit; later that afternoon, Porphyras pipes up to propose that he escort Christophore back home instead of cooling his heels at home. Upon spotting the two siblings and inquiring them their destination, an American soldier decides to catalyze their commute to the town and advises Porphyras about what it means to be a true man when he relays how he has not seen his family in a year but plans to return to America in the summer; upon arriving at the bus terminal to find that they have a lengthy wait before them, Porphyras and Marina's collaborative decision to kill some time in the city sets the stage for their individual default inclinations to come into play—Marina being easily distracted by animals and Porphyras lusting after automobiles. Marina playing a not-so-funny prank using the Orpheus-and-Eurydice myth as an analogy prompts the fuming Porphyras to ultimately set course back to the terminal where it is explained that the buses often run behind schedule; a lengthy wait at the terminal later, Porphyras and Marina are rewarded when their father Christophore disemarks with a hefty payload. | ||
| 4 | "Mina's Birthday" "Mina no Tanjōbi" (ミーナの誕生日) | January 27, 2008 |
| In a recherché deviation from standard par de course, Porphyras finishes sleeping ahead of schedule to eagerly search around for a suitable block of wood unto which he promptly sets to work carving an owl pendant modeled on Apollo—a feat that he emphatically endeavors to obfuscate from prying eyes, especially Marina's; after smoothing over the minor misunderstanding and commending Marina's newfound prowess at milking the goats, Christophore delivers the two kids the aftermath of an executive engagement with Anek about how to best spend the day—a family picnic—right after a repair job for the village chief. Corina is curious about why Porphyras is visiting but haughtily demonstrates her girly-girl aversion for auto repair and disappointment at Porphyras being unaccompanied by Zaïmis before her mother reminds her of her upcoming piano lesson; some more tinkering around later, it becomes apparent that Christophore is prosecuting an innovative curriculum to get bailed a vehicle for Patagos-ke. Christophore's destination is the ruins of an ancient amphitheater where Anek leads her children through using their imagination as to what the area looked like in the past; Marina performing an impromptu concert complete with Porphyras playfully teasing her gives way to a conversation about the vast scope of history and the role of Patagos-ke in the great grand scheme of things. As Anek begins to serve lunch, Porphyras feels that the time is right to ultimately give Marina the now-complete owl pendant even before his family government commends him for the gesture; upon finishing the home commute, Christophore finds that his counsel of Patagos-ke shaping its history has borne early fruit when he ends up taking delivery of the building materials that will be the service station. | ||
| 5 | "Our Station" "Bokutachi no Sutēshon" (ぼくたちのステーション) | February 3, 2008 |
| Marina watering the oleander plant given to her as a birthday present in the hopes that her TLC will pay off mirrors Porphyras's excitement at the pile of building materials that will soon be the service station where he hopes to catalyze Christophore's automobile repair efforts before Zaïmis arrives to initiate the school commute with the Patagos siblings; as is exhibited later, Porphyras is more interested in catalyzing Christophore's construction efforts unto the service station than his education when Zaïmis intercepts him into an adversarial divergent concourse about the merits of school at whose conclusion Porphyras races off. This ignites a sequence of events that demonstrates the adage that success can sometimes have far worse consequences than failure as Porphyras finds himself either frigidly shunned or confronted about his deception attempt which is relegated to the back burner upon Christophore successfully finishing the construction of the service station and doing some repairs at its grand opening only for the commerce to soon taper off. Himself ill at ease about the current state of affairs at Patagos-ke should Christophore not get enough commerce at the service station, Zaïmis summons Porphyras to assist him in constructing a big sign to advertise the station that ultimately drives home the lesson that Porphyras has to be honest if he is to be of any utility to Christophore; the endemic parental scolding resolved and the air now cleared, the new sign begins to work when a customer pulls up. | ||
| 6 | "The Girl Who Came From Italy" "Itaria Kara Kita Shōjo" (イタリアから来た少女) | February 10, 2008 |
| Humbled by his deception having imploded in on him with Christophore delivering a brutally honest dose of family government, Porphyras begins skipping out early at meals to help out at the service station, where Christophore is about to finish a repair job. Marina demonstrates a lucrative lesson in capitalism with the newly acquired pocket change from the customers enjoying her presentation of Anek's culinary handiwork. After explaining to Marina her aversion for her house being behaved toward as a roadside food-stand, Anek charges Marina for some provisions that afternoon during the home commute—a lead that the astonished Porphyras and Zaïmis are not slow in emulating. Sensing that Porphyras needs to learn another crucial lesson, Apollo swoops down to deliver a peck of insight. No sooner does Apollo fly away than Marina points out a truck with a malfunctioning power plant. Porphyras makes the frigid acquaintance of a tomboyish Italian girl named Alessia after the truck is pushed to the service station. Upon the truck being repaired, Alessia is thunderstruck at her father Gianni ordering her to stay at Patagos-ke while he prosecutes a delivery. The lengthy layover becomes the backdrop against which Porphyras and Alessia ultimately have driven home the rationale for why the word »assume« is spelled the way it is as the two kids get better acquainted with each other, discovering the ideal homeostasis between honesty and tact; after a childish prank of ringing the bell at a church after learning Alessia's anguishing prologue with her mother along with a colorful tirade unto the haughty village princess Corina, Porphyras finds that Alessia has forgiven him for his earlier mistakes in quite an iconoclastic fashion. | ||
| 7 | "The Thing That Porphy Wants" "Porufi no Hoshii Mono" (ポルフィの欲しいもの) | February 17, 2008 |
| Considering how she frigidly repulsed him for honestly mistaking her as a boy because of her appearance, it is quite a shock that Alessia would think to bid Porphyras farewell with a kiss when a letter is the avenue of choice not unlike that which Marina is teasing her brother before Anek makes it clear that the kids' antics are best done outside; upon a customer and Porphyras signaling an interest in fueling automobiles as well as repairing them, Christophore decides to close up shop for the day and take his family to the movie theater in Ioannina. Aside from Marina having her head in the clouds about the complex mechanics of romance, it is soon demonstrated that Christophore feels the same way Porphyras does about fueling automobiles rather than simply repairing them. A chance encounter with Anek's long-standing classmate Helena after a tasty restaurant dinner becomes the ultimate preamble for Anek's aristocratic prologue to come into play; nevertheless, the stark reality is that—be it indentureship to an unreasonable demand if Anek succeeds in getting her family to lend money or the bank's pragmatic pessimism about the future of Christophore's micro-economy—a gasoline pump is simply not going to be and that Porphyras will have to settle for only being able to help his father repair automobiles. | ||
| 8 | "Late Night Operation" "Mayonaka no Sakusen" (真夜中の作戦) | February 24, 2008 |
| Deflated by Christophore explaining him that a gasoline pump is simply not going to be, Porphyras is disappointed that his trademark pastime of watching automobiles is insufficient for dispelling his anxiety for Patagos-ke's micro-economy as it becomes community discourse that Christophore can repair but not fuel automobiles when Zaïmis approaches him for counsel in how to be a good big brother to the baby gestating within his mother Dolly; once he gets over the initial shock of the entreaty, Porphyras is not slow in explaining Zaïmis his perspective of the proper resolution. Running second place to Porphyras's worries about the Patagos-ke micro-economy is his anguish that Marina's cerebral computations now revolve around the movie the family saw in Ioannina; while Anek divides her energies between reliving how Christophore swept her off her feet and explaining Porphyras the advent of that same desire within Marina, the issue of subsequent siblings becomes the centerpiece of the evening discourse when Zaïmis misapplies Porphyras's postnatal counsel while Marina signals an interest in being a big sister. The next day has as its feature presentation the answer to scant commerce when a chance encounter with the customer Christophore helped yesterday inspires Porphyras to initiate a desperate and ignoble initiative that poses quite an ethical imbroglio for Zaïmis whose dissemination of this data is of null utility to Marina when she finds that Porphyras is as eager to caustically criticize her play-acting as she is to dissuade him from placing the nails. Even if they cannot immediately discern the deviant diagnostic at play, Anek and Christophore are not slow in detecting the awkward dinnertime ambiance between their children as Porphyras bides his time to ultimately make his move; while Apollo surprising him onto his caboose and his conscience kicking in before the casualties start mounting is definitely a good thing, Porphyras soon has demonstrated that there is also the matter of conduct and circumstance to consider when collecting the nails carries him into the path of a car. | ||
| 9 | "A New World" "Atarashī sekai" (新しい世界) | March 2, 2008 |
| Thanks to the skill and nocturnal attentiveness of the soldier at the helm, Porphyras only has to contend with minor corporeal damage that is overshadowed by the hefty political situation of finding that Marina has had the choice of keeping his subterfuge below-ground taken away from her by the circumstances as evidenced by the Captain possessing three of the nails he was trying to retrieve from the road; the only thing that saves Porphyras from Christophore cannibalizing him for spare parts on the spot is that the Captain's account of Porphyras retrieving the nails and the Captain's exhortation of Christophore working his magic. Captain Barnes now a happy man with a full stomach, Christophore decides for one final exercise to help drive home the real-world sacrifice that acquiring a gasoline pump would require; while it is a relief that Porphyras is not so heartless and desperate to blindly embrace mercenary tactics, Zaïmis is not hostile to pointing out that there is still some aftermath that has to be resolved—Marina wondering when she will be repaid a prime example. Porphyras's recklessness ultimately does play a huge role in Christophore being solicited as the Americans' designated service mechanic along with the Patagos siblings being invited onto an American military base for a localized international adventure; their stomachs full of ice cream, Porphyras and Marina find themselves with two new friends—John and his junior brother Tom along with their mother Martha that is not shy about inviting the two siblings to partake of her culinary handiwork or in introducing them her infant daughter Mary. | ||
| 10 | "A Summer Day" "Natsu no Ichinichi" (夏の一日) | March 9, 2008 |
| As is the case with boys his age, Porphyras has a hard time with the necessity of having to finish sleeping when Christophore does and coming to grips with the reality that mentioning his recklessness with the nails is a bit of a dinner-table running joke that is best avoided; after a hearty breakfast, it is right back to work on repair jobs whose iconoclasticity gives Christophore a chance to illuminate Porphyras some nuggets of wisdom for conducting proper repairs. As much as he loves automobiles and the mechanical reparation thereof, Porphyras cannot resist running off to play with John and Tom when their father approaches Christophore to have his car repaired; mirroring her daughter's excitement at seeing John and Tom, Anek is only too happy to take on this stewardship as evidenced by John and Tom's emphatic reaction to the hefty lunch she prepares. Porphyras's astonishment at John having learned how to throw curveballs mirrors Zaïmis's upon having it demonstrated that his two best friends have reached out and touched America; while Porphyras-tachi (Porphyras with Marina, Zaïmis, John, and Tom in convoy) can easily shrug off Corina's haughty refusal to accompany him, Christophore has a much more difficult time escaping the village chief's unreasonable exhortation regarding the dying car battery. At the end of the day, Porphyras-tachi has ultimately built wonderful summer memories—Marina with her artwork and antagonizing her brother, the boys fishing and skinny-dipping, Anek barking at her son to mind his table manners; as an ancillary bonus, Christophore even successfully completes the village chief's urgent repair only to find Porphyras ready to congratulate him the next morning with the roles ironically reversed. | ||
| 11 | "Pump and Ice Cream" "Ponpu to aisukurīmu" (ポンプとアイスクリーム) | March 16, 2008 |
| Porphyras and Marina finding that feeding Apollo is ticklish business obfuscates Anek illuminating Christophore a crucial milestone—the advent of a micro-economy strong enough to support selling gasoline—before it becomes time to open up shop for the day only for Captain Barnes to deliver Porphyras a pair of photographs from his adventures with John and Tom who are in America for their summer vacation; seeing her children race off to Dolly with a collection of baby clothes, Anek resolves herself to another side project as she pulls out a letter. Upon Zaïmis signaling an interest in carving a wooden trinket for his prospective sibling, Marina offers herself for the concept design while Porphyras offers himself for the actual synthesis; upon initiating the home commute, Porphyras and Marina find a salesman with a catalog of gasoline pumps. The necessity of excavating the below-ground cavity for the storage tank and the reality of Patagos-ke not being able to go on summer vacations daunts Porphyras not an iota as he eagerly devotes himself to excavating the hole for the tank alongside Christophore and his allies—fanaticism that causes him to underestimate the ETA and almost completely stand up Zaïmis. Rerailing Porphyras this time around ultimately requires not just an avian intercession from Apollo but also a batch of homemade ice cream; as if to congratulate Porphyras's double play, Christophore shows off the cement-lined bay that Porphyras helped excavate and leads his family toward placing a hand-print on the cement. | ||
| 12 | "The Fated Day" "Unmei no Hi" (運命の日) | March 23, 2008 |
| Christophore's safe return from Athens, the successful construction of the Patagos Big Service Station, a steady stream of commerce to bolster the Patagos-ke micro-economy, Porphyras finally having caught the lesson that automobiles must not displace all other cerebral computations and community responsibilities, Marina excited over seeing her oleander tree's first summer blossoms . . . there is nothing in any of that to contraindicate that Porphyras and Marina have a bright future ahead of them as do Christophore and Anek; however, there is an anthology of deviant diagnostics at play that individually are very annoying. Apollo has become hostile to Marina hand-feeding him and has swooped down to deliver Porphyras a not-at-all painless peck of insight before flying off while en route to Zaïmis's house where Zaïmis is trying to compute why he cannot draw any water; while the water problem is nothing that a series of difficult round-trips to the river cannot cure, Christophore discovers a crack in the concrete lining the bay for the below-ground storage tank and charges Porphyras the engagement of the stonemason Mr. Basil in order to effect repairs. A significant portion of this errand consists of Porphyras guiding an old ascetic named Damon to the town church only to ultimately end up with an icon and the insight about the stonemason having a hefty workload even as he promises to make Patagos-ke his first stop the next morning; if that was not enough, Patagos-ke has it demonstrated that it has a long way to go before the big movers and shakers will welcome it with open arms. | ||
| 13 | "Things Lost and Things Left Behind" "Ushinatta Mono Nokotta Mono" (失ったもの残ったもの) | March 30, 2008 |
| Pushing himself to his feet and then into a sprint, Porphyras is shocked to see Simitra as a sea of smoky rubble that suggests a high fatality ratio; upon finding three of the adult villagers relatively unharmed complete with counsel to see about his family while they extinguish the fires, Porphyras races back to Patagos-ke where the destruction of the house panics him into digging through the rubble which thoroughly exhausts him. After an intercession from Captain Barnes complete with delivery, a kindly nun named Elena explains the bewildered Porphyras that the church is being availed as a hospice to tally and repair the survivors of the earthquake; after Elena is called away to help with another casualty, Porphyras has it explained in detail the aftermath of the earthquake—exempli gratia, Corina dying with her parents. It turns out that Porphyras has a bittersweet epilogue in the form of Marina being brought to the church with a minor head wound—nothing that a little TLC and a lot of bed rest cannot cure—along with some very bad news that requires him to take a more active role of responsibility for Marina—the first act thereof making Marina face the fact that Christophore and Anek have both perished. As if having sensed that he has hit rock bottom even with Elena's divinely-flavored encouragement, the old ascetic Damon pays Porphyras a visit to explain that marshaling one's resources to advance is ultimately much more productive than analyzing the mechanics of a particular trial or setback before he retires for the night; the next morning Porphyras has demonstrated the efficacy of Damon's counsel when he finds that Zaïmis has the bittersweet epilogue of having lost his father Thomas . . . only to bear witness to Dolly's successful accouchement of his neonatal little sister. | ||
| 14 | "I'll Protect Mina" "Boku wa Miina o Mamoru" (ぼくはミーナを守る) | April 6, 2008 |
| Dolly's decision for Elpida to be the name of her neonate daughter at which Elena puts her foot in her mouth prior to Porphyras delivering Zaïmis the properly-carved final version of his first wooden doll does very little to counterbalance the reality that Marina has a lot of damaged cerebral software whose pervasive scope is gradually becoming apparent along with the reality that Porphyras will have to really step up to the plate; after a final bit of sage counsel from the old ascetic Damon who then sets course for his home in Athens, Porphyras has demonstrated that compounding the traumatic plight of orphans is the often-assumed perspective that they are cheap fire sale commodities since there are few families that will adopt a whole set of siblings. Upon arriving on the scene to acknowledge his earnest efforts, Captain Barnes points out that Porphyras's emphasis needs to be on computing how to best take responsibility for Marina without his own needs being lost in the process; after some computation, Porphyras decides for a return trip to his parents' destroyed house where he keeps up a steady stream of chatter with Marina in a bid to elicit a response. Porphyras's seemingly illogical and pointless gambit ultimately proves anything but unsuccessful when Marina responds well to seeing her oleander tree in bloom and seeing that Apollo is overjoyed to perch on her shoulder now that the earthquake is over; even though Elena is not gentle about scolding Porphyras for his recklessness, she cannot undo the fact that Porphyras has led Marina through an impromptu funeral to bid his parents godspeed and has resolved himself to avail his automotive repair lessons as an income engine via Christophore's tools. | ||
| 15 | "Embracing the Memories" "Omoide o Dakishimete" (思い出を抱きしめて) | 13 April 2008 |
| The mechanics of his future micro-economy being in somewhat clearer focus with Christophore's tools now in his possession does not make up for the fact that Porphyras has just had it driven home that there is a tiny enclave of the world where customers will at face value trust his automotive repair prowess enough for it to be utilized in economic interchange; even with the matter of future micro-economy set aside for the moment, there is still the problem of how Porphyras is to keep Marina close at hand while prosecuting a repair job—the emphatic zeal thereof blinding him to Marina wanting a word with him. Porphyras soon has it demonstrated that he has essentially sold away the one thing Marina wants from him—his undivided attention on her; his anxious apprehension bellowed out, Porphyras seems to have stumbled upon a method to reach Marina when he play-acts scenes from the movie in Ioannina but soon reverts to his default automotive proclivities which includes the earlier repair fee. As has been demonstrated all around them, the time ultimately arrives when it soon becomes Zaïmis's turn to move away when Dolly receives a letter of approval from her extended family; frightened of the irreversible damage certain to be wrought unto Marina should she be separated from him and isolated into an ill-intentioned foster family, Porphyras initiates a desperate curriculum oblivious to the reality that the earthquake has destroyed not just their house and family government but also the crucial computations necessary for Marina Patagos to be safely left unattended even for a short period of time. | ||
| 16 | "Towards the Sea" "Umi no Mukou He[4]" | 20 April 2008 |
| The debilitating damage to her cerebral software, the limited data as to her travels, and the fact that the Greek port city of Patras has now become the central locale . . . all three of these factors combine to drive home that locating Marina is an urgent priority—a fact that Porphyras takes very seriously as he tirelessly prosecutes his search never once stopping to think that the movie he saw in Ioannina with his family has many elements that will go a long way in helping to resolve this conundrum; while Zaïmis divides his energies between searching and grappling with guilt, Marina catches sight of the Mediterranean Sea—her admiration thereof drifting her into the path of a car. A Gypsy woman named Isabella takes notice of Marina as she computes whether to go investigate before the bar owner loudly reminds her that there is a significant portion of the workday remaining; while Isabella files away her observing Marina for future reference prior to going back on the job, it soon becomes evident that Marina is a country girl clearly out of her element in the city when she is spellbound at the huge ferry and all the people boarding it. By the time Marina finally catches up to a woman that looks like her mother Anek, the ferry has set sail for Italy just as Porphyras arrives at the wharf at a loss for what to do next if it turns out that Marina is no longer in Greece; meanwhile, Isabella soon demonstrates that she wears multiple hats as a dancer and an augur while her assistant Carlos prosecutes rigged poker games with her father Django[5] in order to bilk people of money. Much to the despondent orphan's good fortune, Marina's play-acting inspires Isabella to ultimately come above-ground with the anguishing prologue involving her dead daughter Lili which looks exactly like Marina; after an impromptu daybreak concert, Isabella's decision to serve as Marina's family government becomes the genesis of Marina's cerebral software starting to slowly repair itself and also inaugurates Porphyras into an odyssey that requires him to exhume, examine, execute, and exploit numerous fundamental mechanics both local and global in order to reunite with Marina. | ||
| 17 | "The Pure White Departure" "Masshiro Na Tabidachi[6]" | 27 April 2008 |
| As he bootstraps himself for another day upon waking up at the Patras wharf, Porphyras recalls that Marina signaled an interest in visiting Paris at the end of the movie that she saw in Ioannina as he again wonders what he should do next—the insight thereof provided by an elderly panhandler that with uncanny incisiveness gives him some sage counsel to keep moving forward; after vigorously crying his eyes out and having it confirmed that the ferry departs for Italy three times a day for 200 drachmas per trip, the question now becomes about how to raise the necessary sum in spite of the fact that there are few jobs that an adult will entrust to a kid—especially automotive repair. The solution to this conundrum has as its central access an elderly man named Mr. Angelopoulos whose emphatic conviction that the Simitra earthquake should only happen once drives him to ultimately take pity on Porphyras's plight by his exhortation that the entire exterior of his house be painted white; a few days later, Porphyras finds that the big wad of drachmas is not the only compensation that he has earned for his work. | ||
| 18 | "Farewell, Greece" "Sayonara, Girisha[7]" | 4 May 2008 |
| Apollo glides onto the scene just in time to watch Porphyras rush right over to the ticket window where he finds that the discourse gets rather colorful at the idea of a thirteen-year-old boy prosecuting a solo ocean voyage to Brindisi; galvanized by the clerk's counsel to buy the necessary provisions locally and to mind the time lest he miss the boat, Porphyras decides to take a lunch break which becomes the backdrop for a little girl named Marika taking an interest in Apollo before she is summoned away by her family government—a sentimental that hits very close to home and would have caused the cat-napping Porphyras to miss the boat if not for the horn of the Egnatia along with an avian wake-up call from Apollo. As he watches Patras shrink in the distance, Porphyras soon finds that his growing homesickness is quite tame upon Marika bringing him to her parents which accidentally step in it via the cheese pies; after coping with his anguish at there being nobody to acknowledge him becoming a teenager as the Egnatia sails north, Porphyras finds that a good night's sleep is quite an adventure upon discovering that he has a trio of abrasive but altrustic truckers as roommates and overhearing the excited Marika stalemating her family government's attempts to tuck her into bed. Upon having it explained that there are people that make it a habit to commute between Brindisi and Patras, Porphyras ultimately realizes the utility of inquiring the passengers about Marina; much to Porphyras's surprise, the trio of abrasive truckers has some very juicy insight about Marina's current status that they would have gladly explained him if he had only thought to ask. | ||
| 19 | "At the Italian Docks" "Itaria No Minato De[8]" | 11 May 2008 |
| The adventuresome voyage on the Egnatia is not insignificant but is quite tame when Porphyras first arrives in Brindisi with no idea about the lay of the land—particularly that the lira is the currency of the land, especially when his empty stomach interjects into the concourse; fortunately, a young man named Leon plays a cruical role in nullifying the subterfuge of a confidence man and outrunning a pair of street hoodlums. Leon leads Porphyras to a service station whose owner Mario is not slow in sympathizing with his plight—or in pointing out the insufficient attention paid to the logistical details endemic to lengthy journeys—as he goes to prepare lunch. It is not long before Porphyras ends up putting more than pasta and gnocchi in his mouth when he boasts about his prologue of automotive repair with his late father Christophore at which Mario takes umbrage as he computes the perfect exercise to illuminate the limits of the orphan's prowess with which Leon is not allowed to catalyze; as predicted from the protracted trial and error, Porphyras's blind spot lies within the electrical system—the data of which Christophore never taught his son. Although Leon technically violated his injunction against exporting assistance, Mario is ultimately overjoyed that Porphyras has learned to acknowledge and confront his personal limitations; as a surprising bonus, Leon comes above-ground with his prologue which has some elements to ensure that Porphyras's journey has a euphoric epilogue in the form of some extra equipment. | ||
| 20 | "The City of Caverns" "Doukutsu No Machi[9]" | 18 May 2008 |
| Bolstered by the inventory upgrade and a heftier war chest, Porphyras decides to set out from Brindisi to head north in search of clues about where his little sister Marina has been taken; an impromptu checklist later, Leon advises Porphyras to never rely on anyone coming to his aid should he get into a pickle—very sage counsel when Porphyras's curiosity about how the train operates causes him to end up in the nearly-abandoned city of Materas. Seeing a battle royale between a quartet of low-on-fuel canines over two biscotti pieces prior to coming across a boy named Ciro[5] that runs away from him in a panic drives it home that there is much wisdom in limiting one's time in Materas; by the time Porphyras comes to this conclusion, the city already starts to come across as a huge labyrinth not unlike the one fabled to have housed the Minotaur. Fuel and energy nearly depleted, the sole silver lining that Porphyras ultimately discovers in this misadventure is that the Minotaur is a myth and that the labyrinth housing the bovine monster was certainly not alfresco; still, being woken up by a cantankerous old lady hostile to having surprise visitors definitely runs a close second—especially when she decides to act on Leon's parting counsel by stealing Porphyras's backpack in the middle of the night. | ||
| 21 | "Dora's Farewell" "Doora To No Wakare[10]" | 25 May 2008 |
| As part of her curriculum to obfuscate her treachery, Dora establishes a quite maternal ambiance as she spends a portion of the night preparing a meal for Porphyras to wake up to but soon gives herself away when she overreacts to Porphyras's sneeze; while Materas is no less a labyrinth to the desperate Porphyras, Ciro's curiosity has superseded his previous xenophobia as the boy accompanies Porphyras on his search before suggesting that his uncle Gasparo[5] be entreated to form a dragnet in order to locate the missing backpack. The historical observation of the Greek influence on the local culture gives way to a long-standing divergent concourse between Gasparo and Ciro over whether to defy the Italian government's emigration volition for the people of Materas; galvanized by Gasparo pointing out the presence of the ubiquitous migration phase that everybody goes through in life, Porphyras advises Ciro to place his emphasis on who he lives with rather than just where he lives but has a hard time accepting the ignoble motives behind Dora's maternal behavior toward him. His backpack now in hand with his heart torn in two, Porphyras ultimately learns that fatty meat is definitely greasy when Dora lashes out at him for declaring his intention to leave Materas; still, after coming to grips with her anguish about her dead son Antonio thanks to Porphyras's counsel, Dora develops the courage to dispose of her entire wine cache. | ||
| 22 | "Continuing Down the Train Line" "Senro Ha Tsuduku Yo[11]" | 1 June 2008 |
| It is of good fortune that there was no actual Minotaur in the labyrinthine mountainside city of Materas eager to make a meal of Porphyras; still, Dora under the frenzied delusion that Porphyras is her lost son Antonio is almost equally as dangerous and difficult to get away from—especially when there is no data about where the three Gypsies have taken Marina to show for it! Upon boarding the train, Porphyras is bulldozed aside by an abrasive and rude little girl named Daisy whose attitude soon softens as she overhears his historical conversation with an elderly couple about Greece where the Simitra Shake-down has crushed his family government; after she awakens him from a nightmare to explain that the train will head back east if he does not egress, the stop-over becomes the backdrop for it to be demonstrated to Porphyras that Daisy is a saucy 50-50 hybrid of his friend Alessia and his little sister Marina. Shortly before the westbound train arrives, Porphyras and Daisy come upon a guitar-playing minstrel named Maximilian whose tertiary education is to refine him into a music composer; after seeing off Daisy into her father's overjoyed arms, Maximilan inadvertently steps in it with his counsel of a farewell being the roots of a subsequent engagement. Never in anyone's wildest dreams would it be imagined that the farming commune in Caulonia where Maximilan's girlfriend Ilaria resides with her parents would be exactly what the doctor ordered for Porphyras to recuperate from his adventures in Materas with its many parallels to his old home in Simitra; the only thing that would make it perfect is if Marina were located there with him. | ||
| 23 | "The Cracked Doll" "Hibiware Ta Ningyou[12]" | 8 June 2008 |
| Once Apollo prompts him to get done sleeping so he can bootstrap himself for the day's activities, Porphyras is not slow in demonstrating his prowess with such tasks as summoning and milking the goats…only to be reminded of his former family home life in Greece and his goal of rebuilding it upon locating Marina; at breakfast, Maximilian pipes up with the suggestion that Porphyras use the commune farm as his base of operations while he gathers information about Marina's whereabouts—a task that Ilaria offers to catalyze. The housework prosecuted for the sake of paying »the rent« becomes the backdrop for Porphyras to come upon several avatars of a long-standing cold war whose resolution requires an imported third-party catalyst—a choice made against Porphyras and Ilaria's will when their car malfunctions right in front of a mansion during a tour to learn the lay of the land; while he is quick to discern the deviant diagnostic, Porphyras finds that the only prospect for him to effect the necessary repairs requires him to explore the mansion against Ilaria's emphatic objections. As can be predicted from the damaged but similar figurine he finds along with an active phonograph player, Porphyras soon finds that the mansion is occupied by a cynical young woman named Rebecca that is not slow in ultimately accusing him an emissary wielded by Ilaria even though she has the requisite repair tools; the automobile power plant now of utility and galvanized by the data of Maximilian and Ilaria's collaborative prologue with Rebecca, Porphyras pipes up that a reconciliation is long overdue as he turns his steps back toward Rebecca's mansion. | ||
| 24 | "The Place Where Smiles Come Back" "Egao No Kaeru[13]" | 15 June 2008 |
| In spite of having grown up on a farm where she has had to eat the produce, Ilaria balks at Porphyras's exhortation to »eat her vegetables« as she abruptly drives away; much to Porphyras's dismay, Maximilian finding the mansion locked up tight drives it home that thawing out Rebecca will not be easy. Galvanized by a diurnal outing with Ilaria, Porphyras gets the idea to effect a blind date rendezvous with Rebecca who naturally storms away after ordering him his immediate departure; seeing that Rebecca has glued her figurine back together along with the parallels between it and her damaged friendship with Ilaria, Porphyras prosecutes a circuitous curriculum that would have succeeded if he had specified which cafe to rendezvous at—the default data thereof an arcane secret between Ilaria and Rebecca. It is not long before Rebecca and Ilaria resume their former relationship complete with laughter; the ensuing diurnal outing has several euphoric elements—Rebecca insisting upon alfresco transport so that Ilaria can make time with Maximilian and Daisy joining the group with her father who advises drawing an advertisement asking for information about Marina. Setting up the advertisement in the city hall office building is quite an adventure in which Porphyras's bladder eager to dump its exhaust ultimately places him in competition with the pushy Caulonia mayor who is in the same boat; while there was a vital physiological necessity that had to be met, there is a lot of evidence that Porphyras has made enemies with the Mayor. | ||
| 25 | "A Little Friendship in a Little City" "Chiisana Machi No Chiisana Yuujou[14]" | 22 June 2008 |
| Comforted by the behind-the-scenes gumshoe work on his behalf and bolstered at how he has successfully restored a strained friendship, Porphyras has found his groove at the Martini farming commune as he prosecutes the yard work and housework necessary to »pay the rent«; even with his zeal, Porphyras cannot hide the smoldering anguish of his tectonic trauma upon seeing the olive orchard and Ilaria's parents offering to keep him on as their son if he cannot find Marina. The dysphoric reality of Maximilian returning without any data about Marina is heavily counterbalanced by a stowaway consolation prize that all but bulldozes over him in the process of leaping out to greet Porphyras—a vivacious Daisy that prefers to be a kid rather than a workplace show-and-tell project. Seeking to return the favor of being shown the blossoming olives, Daisy acts as a tour guide to the leather workshop where her father Dario works; upon seeing a recently completed leather handbag, Maximilian decides to commission its emulation as a gift for Ilaria. It is during the trek to the Martini-ke olive processing facility that Porphyras comes to grips with the fact that he will have to leave Caulonia one day to resume his search for Marina; galvanized by insight from a carnival stevedore to travel west toward Calabria, Porphyras declares his intention to hit the road. As can be predicted, there is anguish galore as Rebecca and Daisy ultimately find that Porphyras came into their lives for a reason and stayed for a season that has now expired; stymied by the behind-schedule westbound train, Porphyras decides to stowaway on a freight train. | ||
| 26 | "If I Can Hear The Whistle" "Kiteki Ga Kikoe Tara[15]" | 29 June 2008 |
| The on-the-fly innovation that inspired Porphyras to board the freight train appears to affording a swift no-cost ride to the west toward Calabria . . . that rolls over into a westbound voyage across the Strait of Messina which isolates Italy away from Sicily where Porphyras soon finds that merely executing and exploiting counsel from a local fish merchant about a possible income engine is more than enough to draw the attention of Mancini-ke when a boy named Michael Barbazza catalyzes his angling; fortunately for Porphyras and Michael, Andre Mancini's anger is driven more by the pending arrival of a pilot named Jack Barbazza who has a crush on his sister Monica who is not slow in stalemating him. Monica's provision of granita for breakfast prior to Jack's arrival to initiate the drive to Barbazza-ke and the ensuing family meal become the backdrop against which Porphyras has explained to him the full scope of the civil war between Barbazza-ke and Mancini-ke along with the prologue of Jack's romance with Monica—both of which have no easily determined epilogue; while Don Barbazza seems to be an amiable old man, Porphyras knows that goodwill can get very finite very quickly as he ponders whether to continue on his journey to somewhere more straightforward. A nocturnal visit from Michael is ultimately what the doctor ordered to give Porphyras the opportunity to »pay rent« by hot-wiring Jack's car; once this is done, Jack is not slow in setting course for Mancini-ke to pay a visit to Monica. | ||
| 27 | "I Want You To Receive It" "Anata Ni Todoke Tai[16]" | 29 June 2008 |
| Sensing the increasing proximity to Mancini-ke, Jack extinguishes his headlights to draw upon his prologue as a military pilot during the Korean War that has given him the ability to navigate in darkness not unlike that Andre is badly contending with as he divides his energies between imbibing to inbriation and prosecuting an adversarial divergent concourse with Monica who retires to her room in disgusted frustration; as if he had sensed that Monica needs a pick-me-up to cheer her up, Apollo flies on to the scene to alert her to Jack's arrival on the premises to confess his love. Galvanized by the insight that his feelings are not in vain, Jack and Michael affirm their intention to catalyze Porphyras's efforts to locate Marina but find that the three of them do not have the manpower to thoroughly search Sicily; after a session of swimming, Michael pipes up that they can kill two birds with one stone via their attendance to church on Sunday. What ultimately happens at the church is a far reaching epilogue nobody expects: Jack getting the chance to come above-ground when making time with Monica while Andre meets his match in a cantankerous elderly priest that gives him a run for his money—and Porphyras detecting a saboteur in the process of schooling Andre's automobile; disposing of the automobile provides the perfect backdrop for Jack and Andre to resolve their differences—and for marriage to Monica to definitely be in the cards for the near future. | ||
| 28 | "Sicilian Rhapsody" "Shishirian Rapusodi[17]" | 13 July 2008 |
| Dissipating Andre Mancini's animosity toward Americans is not a small accomplishment since it affords Jack Barbazza the opportunity to take unto himself Monica as his spouse; still, Porphyras searching Sicily alongside the Barbazza brothers proves to be a difficult task. As if he had heard his name said in vain, Don Cici approaches Jack with the declaration that his resources in Palermo are at Jack's disposal complete with his congratulations on his engagement to Monica and a warning about Andre; the next morning, Jack brings Michael and Porphyras to the Mancini-ke mansion where Andre hosts Sunday breakfast with Monica who takes umbrage at the lack of confidence in her driving. The church service becomes the forum for Porphyras to entreat the congregation's assistance while Don Mancini and Don Barbazza prosecute a collaborative campaign to extinguish their business rivals; Don Barbazza surprising his sons with his culinary prowess serves as the backdrop for Andre to mobilize his operatives to diverge and discover over the whole island. The Mancini-ke dragnet ultimately pays off big dividends when it learns of Marina's current status with the Gypsy woman Isabella who has turned north toward Rome; as an added plus, there is an airplane thrown in for Jack to catalyze Porphyras's capitalization of this insight. | ||
| 29 | "The Letter" "Tegami[18]" | 20 July 2008 |
| The confusion about where to go next upon landing in Rome quickly dissipates when Captain Barnes greets Porphyras in a paternal tone that clearly illuminates how frightened he was for the orphan's safety; upon learning of Marina falling into the company of Isabella and her father Django[5] along with her husband Carlos, Captain Barnes drives to a hotel where he makes certain the owner will do a good job. Upon getting settled into his room, Captain Barnes leaves Porphyras with a letter from Zaïmis prior returning to his duties; now secluded in his room, Zaïmis is not slow in getting across how frightened he was for Porphyras's safety along with explaining that he is residing in Timiza with his mother Dolly and his neonate sister Elpida. This becomes the backdrop for a reminiscence sequence for several of the series's earlier events—Anek explaining her prologue, Christophore's return from Athens, Marina's birthday, meeting Alessia, Porphyras being caught off guard by the earthquake, retrieving Christophore's automotive tools, and Marina going MIA in Patras; the divergence is that the focus is upon the epilogue of Porphyras losing track of Marina as experienced by Zaïmis. Porphyras decides to compose a reply explaining his early adventures of working in Patras to earn the boat fare, learning to face his limitations in Brindisi, and all the misadventures to ultimately get back on the trail; even as Marina somehow picks up him bellowing out her name while accompanying Isabella in spite of her damaged cerebral software, Porphyras does not realize the insidious obstacles awaiting him in Rome that could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. | ||
| 30 | "The Roman Signpost" "Rooma No Michishirube[19]" | 27 July 2008 |
| Even though he has written down his emphatic vow to locate Marina and bring her back to Greece with him, such is a enterprise more easily conversed than actually conducted as Rome is still a rather large city for Porphyras to search by himself—and that fact is the least of the orphan's worries when a sweeper named Olga gleans enough data that signals the possibility of successfully wielding Porphyras to obfuscate her culpability when the time is right; knowing only that Marina is the stewardship of a Gypsy woman, Porphyras searches around fruitlessly for insight. A chance encounter with a Bel Air sets the stage for Porphyras to come across Isabella whose augury has very incisive insight as to his plight—the collapse of his family government before it could teach him the fundamentals of the world along with the tribulations endemic to not having this data complete with a warning of treachery in the near future; Isabella preparing to prosecute the home commute obfuscates a crucial reality: Marina's infirm presence in Rome. As has been the case in Simitra, the limited refinement of Porphyras's cerebral software ultimately excludes Porphyras realizing that Marina is indeed in Rome and that it is not a bad idea to follow Django[5] and Carlos—the latter of which prosecutes an ongoing adversarial divergent concourse with Isabella about how Marina is deadweight; much to the frustration of all involved actors, Apollo demonstrates the presence of a win-win solution for both Isabella and Porphyras—neither of whom is performing the computation to see the ethical common-sense logic of the enterprise. | ||
| 31 | "Somewhere In The City" "Kono Machi No Doko Ka Ni[20]" | 3 August 2008 |
| Porphyras's despondency at his efforts failing to bear fruit obfuscates the fact that Isabella is making Marina advertise her augury services right in plain sight while Carlos is finding that he has bought himself an eight kilo-lira dose of his own medicine that definitely inflames his perspective of Marina as deadweight to be disposed of at the first available opportunity; fortunately, Isabella is able to temper his frustration. Porphyras gets a big break the next day that could help him locate Marina: Isabella prosecuting her augury in that plaza—insight that he would have been able to capitalize upon if not for Olga wielding both the innkeeper Bruno and a cantankerous woman in a curriculum to obfuscate her treachery; further inflaming matters, Django[5] suggests migrating to the next city in the very near future upon a successful day of gambling in which he and Carlos have earned back their lost winnings. The only thing that ultimately exonerates Porphyras is Carlos and Olga's bid to get one for the road getting them in hot water—Carlos and Django[5] getting beaten up by a pair of sore losers while Olga loses her ill-gotten payload in her haste to escape; even then, Bruno's apologies do nothing to compensate for the fact that he has committed three criminal acts: unlawfully detaining Porphyras along with two counts of aiding and abetting criminals—both of which have successfully fled accountability for their crimes. | ||
| 32 | "Mina and Isabella" "Miina To Iza Bera[21]" | 10 August 2008 |
| Embittered by the events in Rome, Porphyras somehow senses that the situation in which Marina is embroiled has taken a turn for the worse as he again takes to the road while computing his next move; in another town, Carlos's ire at being forced into making a hasty retreat ignites an adversarial divergent concourse about whether Marina is an asset or a liability and broaches the subject of how long Isabella's surrogate motherhood is to last. The next town where Marina and her Gypsy »family government« end up has the presence of hot springs as its most prominent feature which attract a lot of rich people that Carlos hopes to swindle as does Isabella with her augury; this time around, Marina's advertisement draws the attention of a gregarious German boy named Heinz von Eisenfield whose straightforward approach comes across as rather strong and frightens Marina into running away. It is not long before it is demonstrated why Heinz practices the approach he does when he is afflicted with carburetor trouble that prompts Marina to get Isabella who is in the middle of an augury who knows just what to do; much to his delight, Heinz's father Count Carl von Eisenfield provides Carlos something far more valuable than the five kilo-lira reward for Isabella's intercession drawn from the prologue of her dead daughter Lili. The onsen session and Django's[5] arrival that evening ultimately begin to answer Carlos's earlier question as Marina looks at Anek's pocketwatch before happily going back to sleep in the same bed as Isabella who promptly throws the brakes on the Count's well-intentioned but poorly-executed solicitation of Marina accompanying Heinz for a day at the carnival; while both kids verily enjoy themselves, Marina pipes to demonstrate to all present parties—especially the astonished Count and Heinz along with the frustrated Carlos—that there are far more valuable things than an inordinate maintenance and configuration regimen. | ||
| 33 | "Young Men Covered With Wounds" "Kizu Darakeno Shounen-tachi[22]" | 17 August 2008 |
| Wielded in a criminal diversion that cost him a crucial opportunity to reunite with Marina, Porphyras is once again forced to take to the road in search of insight about Marina's whereabouts when he comes upon a motorist frustrated by the non-functional power plant of his automobile; while it is no problem to discern and resolve the deviant diagnostic, it is not long before it becomes apparent that Porphyras has not learned his lesson that life offers no free lunches when he rejects the motorist's offer of room and board in gratitude prior to resuming his journey where he encounters a womanizing street orphan named Guido who leads a band of itinerant young men that have taken refuge in a damaged building. Drawing on his prologue of being wielded as the omega wolf by false friends and somehow having sensed the same curriculum in progress, Giorgio waylays Porphyras to harshly enjoin departure in the morning; as has been demonstrated aboard the Egnatia and in Materas, Porphyras cannot proactively detect when somebody is parasitically wielding him. As if to congratulate Porphyras for realizing that the »lodging fee« is to catalyze Guido successfully stealing a car and localizing the aftermath thereof, Giorgio swoops in with an intercession that ultimately forestalls the posse and gives Porphyras a chance to resume his journey; to further confirm this, Guido expounds excitedly upon the new-found capabilities afforded him with the car Porphyras hot-wired for him. | ||
| 34 | "A Present To An Angel" "Tenshi He No Purezento[23]" | 24 August 2008 |
| As if to reward him for quickly realizing that he was behaved toward as a wad of flavorless chewing gum, a kindly man on his home commute named Antonio decides to pick up Porphyras who is exhausted from a whole day of walking; while Antonio's wife Marta is not slow in preparing him a scrumptious meal and generally making him feel at home alongside her daughter Sofia, there begins the demonstration of some dynamics that herald the presence of a deviant diagnostic when Marta mentions an angel. The guided tour of the town via Sofia the next morning becomes the forum for Sofia's grandmother Angela to be mentioned in earnest and for Porphyras to have demonstrated that the townspeople are in aggregate a kindly bunch; still, there exists an unnerving common feature in the townpeople's cerebral software revolving around an abandoned well at the northernmost end of town surrounded by flowers. Upon seeing Marta return from Angela's room with a tray full of uneaten food and seeing Sofia signal an interest in offering her doll as a present, orange flags fly up as Porphyras ultimately suspects that ritual sacrifices not unlike those advocated by primitive religious cults are being conducted behind the scenes; the next morning, Porphyras resumes his journey burdened by questions about the fundamental mechanics of the world. | ||
| 35 | "The Believing Heart" "Shinjiru Kokoro[24]" | 31 August 2008 |
| Galvanized by the previous unjust events and fuming at an aristocratic family not allowing him shelter, Porphyras's spirits are as gloomy as the rainy night sky as the orphan is forced to keep walking toward a monastery that he hopes will house him without asking any money of him so that he can compute his next move to discern where to find Marina; meanwhile, Carlos is having it driven home that he cannot out-swindle a congenital swindler as he consistently loses his stake in hand after hand of poker and sails into choppy water with Isabella who is hostile to the idea of Marina being availed as a gambling stake. Porphyras catches a break when he comes upon a sidecar-equipped motorcycle belonging to a nomadic priest named Juliani waiting out the storm in a small bungalow; upon Apollo explaining him the presence of a deviant diagnostic afflicting Porphyras, Juliani sets course for the monastery where some old-fashioned TLC does a lot to catalyze Porphyras's full recovery—at least, that of his physical body. Paying audience to a sermon Juliani composed from his experiences and the Alpha Abbot's ill-considered invitation to confessional ultimately illuminates the elephant in the room—the anguish of having Porphyras's faith demonstrated to be of null utility to prevent Anek and Christophore's burial in the rubble of their house along with being separated from Marina; seeing the immense scope of this frustration, Juliani realizes that Porphyras needs to develop his own definition of faith and guides the orphan through that process. | ||
| 36 | "The Mask Of Honesty" "Kamen No Sugao[25]" | 7 September 2008 |
| Introspective inquiries about his plight resolved for the moment, Porphyras decides to resume his journey to the next town for insight as to Introspective inquiries about his plight resolved for the moment, Porphyras decides to resume his journey to the next town for insight as to Marina's whereabouts but soon has demonstrated that the directions that he was given are for traveling by automobile; while on recess at a waterway to get his bearings and have lunch, Porphyras detects a sparkle of light reflected off a defunct gasoline pump which prompts a trip down memory lane to when he sought the services of the local stonemason to effect repairs to the cement lining of the cavity for the below-ground storage tank he had helped his late father Christophore excavate before the earthquake prior to coming upon a young woman named Marisa prosecuting what sounds like an adversarial divergent concourse with somebody named Sandra. As if she had sensed his dysphoric prologue resonating with hers, Marisa is not slow in providing Porphyras her assistance in locating Marina complete with room and board in her house where there is an insidious deviant diagnostic that is further confirmed by a shopkeeper that is puzzled by Porphyras's mention of Sandra; after an awkward nocturnal encounter with Marisa while investigating Sandra's room, it becomes clear that the »lodging fee« is to resolve the secret of Sandra. Porphyras gets a huge shot in the arm in his quest to understand Marisa when he sees the ruins of her old home which ultimately confirms that Marisa has two incompatible operating systems on her hard drive; as if to reward Porphyras for successfully encouraging Marisa to remove her mask—along with purging her guilt at her parents' fiery demise, the shopkeeper pays a visit to deliver Porphyras the good news that he is on the right track toward locating Marina. | ||
| 37 | "The Scenery That They See" "Futaride Miru Keshiki[26]" | 14 September 2008 |
| Even as Apollo successfully catches a mouse to refuel himself, Porphyras soon finds that he has a stewardship that cares nothing about him having been repulsed unto his caboose and having engine exhaust blown in his face that takes the form of an elderly Saint Bernard approaching him as he is camping out for the night; the next morning, it soon becomes apparent that the large canine wants more than an affectionate back- and belly-rub when it begins to follow Porphyras around. A kindly priest delves into the topic of what the end of the journey looks like prior to pointing out a road that leads to a town with a railway station; Porphyras capitalizing upon this insight becomes the back drop against which Apollo comes upon a female owl and has to decide whether to continue his travels with Porphyras or settle down to start a family. As if he has sensed Porphyras's one-track cerebral computation protocols, the Saint Bernard decides to interject a rest stop at a waterway whose goal is to ultimately teach Porphyras that there are times where it makes sense to deviate from the beaten path in order to smell the roses; upon the orphan mastering this lesson, the elderly Saint Bernard gives Porphyras its blessing to resume his journey through its death. | ||
| 38 | "Scattering In The Wind" "Kaze Ni Chiru[27]" | 21 September 2008 |
| The occasional stopover to smell the roses and taking the scenic route might be necessary evils to preserve one's sanity during a protracted journey with no specific objectives; still, the situation on Marina's end is not getting any better when Carlos decides to gamble for some more money to exchange for francs just as Porphyras arrives in a town whose central feature is an alfresco flea market where he steps in it much to the dismay of a vendor named Emilia who forces him to avail his automotive prowess as restitution. Ecstatic that her automobile is once again of utility and astounded at how he has traveled solo from Greece in order to search for Marina, Emilia offers Porphyras room and board whose lodging fee is the operation of her vending stand at the flea market. As has been previously demonstrated, Carlos fares poorly at gambling and tries to compensate by selling Marina's silver watch at the flea market which tells Porphyras that Marina is indeed in the city somewhere; though annoyed at the interrogation, the ill-tempered vendor does explain that Carlos wanted his proceeds in French francs. The dust settles to ultimately illustrate that both Porphyras and Carlos have demonstrated that there are lines that simply should not be crossed—the ill-tempered vendor destroying Porphyras's photograph in a rage and Isabella double-slapping Carlos across the chops for selling Marina's watch; once he has some more traveling money and sees that the ill-tempered vendor has sold the watch, Porphyras sets his course northward toward France that night. | ||
| 39 | "The Road That Leads To You" "Kun Heto Tsuduku Michi[28]" | 28 September 2008 |
| Learning that Marina-tachi (Marina with Isabella, Carlos, and Django in convoy) is headed to France is not an insignificant piece of insight to have acquired; still, Porphyras is burdened by traveling speed and range acutely finite that could end up making him chase Marina-tachi all through France and possibly to another country altogether. Apollo tries his best to lift Porphyras's spirits by flying into an orchard of nearly-ripe olives at which Porphyras begins to reflect upon his former family life in Greece with Marina and his parents after sniffing a handful of the olives; harshly reminded that he has had the option of asking around taken away from him before being ordered immediate departure by an irate farmer, Porphyras laments his plight before pushing himself to his feet and resuming his journey. What greets Porphyras upon exiting the forest is a young woman by the name of Gina sitting by the side of the road whose reticence in response to the rationale of her situation gives way to evincing a vector toward the border town where the crossing to France is to take place; just as he is about to capitalize upon this counsel, Gina somehow picks up on the turbulent disruption to Porphyras's homeostasis as she inquires him the details of his journey and explains him a bit of her prologue. Galvanized by Gina's encouragement and a bag of walnuts, Porphyras continues on his way after Gina hitches a ride only to ultimately find that the border town is further away than he can diurnally cover on foot; after a nocturnal layover in an abandoned house in which Apollo offers a mouse in an attempt to solve the problem of Porphyras being low on fuel, Porphyras resumes his journey toward the border town. | ||
| 40 | "Aiming For The Border" "Kokkyou wo Mezashi Te[29]" | 5 October 2008 |
| The progress toward approaching the France-Italy border that Porphyras has made is not insignificant; still, the same can be said for the remaining distance—and the turbulent trauma of having his late parents Anek and Christophore crushed under the rubble of his childhood home along with losing track of Marina near Patras. As if to reprimand him for not taming his anguish and properly appraising good will, Porphyras finds that the »lodging fee« for catching forty winks is finding himself face-to face with an idealistic but slothful young man that calls himself Michel who wants to go to Paris in order to further refine himself as an artist in spite of the fact that his mother is hostile to this ambition and would rather that he help out on the farm; seeing that neither the plaintiff nor the defendant is demonstrating any of the good faith that makes arbitration possible, Porphyras decides to voice his disgust of the ongoing adversarial divergent concourse prior to resuming his journey furious that Michel wants to wield him as a vector to run away from home. After nullifying a robbery attempt by a highwayman, Porphyras comes upon a produce vendor named Samuel who has no data regarding Marina's whereabouts but indicates that he will ultimately prosecute a return trip to France; while it is not difficult to detain Samuel so that he can stow away, Porphyras barely escapes being lanced by the sentries—but not Samuel wanting to see his boarding pass. | ||
| 41 | "The Family in Southern France" "Minami Furansu no Kazoku[30]" | 12 October 2008 |
| Successfully arriving in France in spite of his en route adventures through Italy galvanized by the insight that it is also the destination of Marina and her Gypsy »family government« is a significant accomplishment for Porphyras if not for the steerage stipend being a crash course through the French criminal justice system through which Samuel could have been forced had the sentries been more thorough; much to Porphyras's astonished relief, Samuel has decided to resume his home commute where he directs his daughter Cécile through preparing the couch and a meal—the latter enterprise that his low-on-fuel young sons Maurice and Lune endeavor to capitalize upon. It is soon demonstrated that Cécile is the de facto lady of the house when she takes a recess from her housework to impart her maternal perspective on Maurice and Lune's boyish mischief; bolstered by a full belly, Porphyras sets course out on the town to gather data as to whether Marina has passed through—a fruitless enterprise in spite of his getting better acquainted with Maurice and Lune. Porphyras's carpentry ignites an analytical concourse that illuminates the many parallels that Cécile shares with Marina and Anek prior to Cécile's brief syllabus about the endgame of his odyssey which involves the actress Tiffany Aubert; upon being demonstrated that play-acting does nothing to counteract eviction for the rent being in arrears or a scant food supply, Porphyras decides to resume his journey. Porphyras's traumatic recent prologue in Greece ultimately earns him a huge shot in the arm when he happens upon the crass storyline being fed to a woman named Matilde; upon pointing out the flaws in the story and nullifying the deceptive curriculum, Matilde is only too happy to finance a boat voyage complete with a destination where he can make some money to bolster his war chest. | ||
| 42 | "Love Taken Away" "Ubawa Reta Ai[31]" | 19 October 2008 |
| As has been previously demonstrated back in Brindisi and Caulonia, a rural farm and an urban automotive repair shop are equally interchangeable environments for Porphyras to be at home and thrive as he dextrously prosecutes a repair job on a Volkswagen Beetle much to Claude's envious disdain; upon a successful test of the power plant, Claude explains Porphyras his interest in collecting the immense windfall offered as a reward for capturing the fugitive reputed to have escaped from a local prison in the middle of a canal so that he can leave town in search of a better job at which the owner takes umbrage. What Porphyras does not realize is that doing nothing more than sleeping in an automobile to get away from Claude's snoring will cost him the choice to build up his war chest when a fugitive named Marianne assumes the helm; the automobile now wrecked, Marianne is forced to take the damaged Porphyras below-ground where she explains him her prologue of ending up as the criminal fall girl for some missing gold bullion which has separated her from her daughter Cristal. The dust of the ensuing circus ultimately settles upon a demonstration that there are times when the best help that can be given is none at all when Marianne arrives just in time to see Cristal being packed up with her German adoptive parents and finds that Porphyras has inadvertently led the police right to her; further inflaming matters, Porphyras finds that the shop owner will not allow him to keep the bounty for himself and that Claude has helped himself to a juicy severance package whose core feature is all of Christophore's hand-picked automotive tools. | ||
| 43 | "Friends" "Tomo Yo[32]" | 26 October 2008 |
| Porphyras wakes up from a blissful catnap only to be reminded of the events in the previous town which left him bereft of both the reward and Christophore's automotive tools as he resumes his journey after having it driven home that Apollo is the only thing from Greece he has; while the seventh heaven of his thirst being slaked is not insignificant, neither is the fact that the imminent winter will complicate the return voyage to Greece. Galvanized by the insight that he is on the right track complete with a pair of apples along with data of where to search next, Porphyras resumes his journey unaware that the Gypsies have taken Marina to a different town where they are forced into a nocturnal stopover—Isabella's augury having detected a significant change of inordinate scope coming down the pike the central feature of the train trip; meanwhile, Porphyras stumbles into a false positive involving a girl named Giselle whose parents are all too happy to share their collaborative prologue with the three Gypsies before boarding a motor coach that then departs. The die has been cast for the French capital ultimately serving the locale for the end-game; while Marina's menarche is quite alarming in and of itself, it is quite tame compared to an honest navigation error placing Porphyras in the sights of a trigger-happy hunter and charging him the responsibility of burying Apollo. | ||

| The photograph destroyed, Christophore's tools stolen, a frustrating but insightful false positive, Apollo slain because of a misunderstanding . . . these four things in addition to Anek and Christophore being buried under the rubble of their home along with losing track of his sister Marina weigh heavily on Porphyras's mind as he resumes his journey toward Paris in spite of the winter weather for which he is ill-prepared; meanwhile, Alessia and her dad Gianni notice the temperature dropping as they close the distance to a winery that has charged them a delivery run to Paris. A stopover at a stream for a drink of water sets the stage for an incidence of cerebral software gone haywire that causes the forlorn Porphyras to unwisely ford the waterway which visits unto him a case of hypothermia that makes it a struggle to stay on course without browning out from exhaustion; while Gianni and Alessia scramble to compute what to do about almost hitting Porphyras, Marina explains Isabella her recent epiphany about her prologue in Simitra and that Porphyras is desperately searching for her…that is, once Alessia calms down enough to recognize a friend in serious distress. Much to the relief of all involved parties, the ultimate cure is for Porphyras to get a lift where he can get the good night's rest that has been long elusive while Alessia gets some long-standing sentiments off her chest that she has been harboring—the greatest of which is that she has fallen in love with him and is equally worried about Marina's safety; as has been previously demonstrated, Porphyras is oblivious to these sentiments—especially since the earthquake having buried Anek and Christophore in the rubble of their home has driven it home that the bonds of a nuclear family are absolutely priceless. | ||
| 45 | "The Rose Blooming In The Alley" "Rojiura ni Saku Bara[34]" | 10 November 2008 |
| Even though his counsel to Alessia was drawn from his own experience of how he was violently made an orphan, it is soon demonstrated once again that Porphyras is a country boy out of his element in the big city when he stumbles over the fact that there are plenty of ways to get in hot water even on the correct side of the Seine River when he wanders into a Greek restaurant where he draws the ire of an ill-tempered card player that shoves him into the owner Mr. Xaropoulos who is carrying a plate of pikilia; as predicted from their first engagement, Mr. Xaropoulos makes it quite clear that Porphyras's congenital proficiency at the Greek language and cuisine does not make up for being a clumsy child that makes many costly mistakes. The sole silver lining in this sweat shop misadventure is ultimately set in motion when a fallen actress named Rose is unjustly ejected for repulsing an inebriate and forced to leave her book behind; now bolstered by newfound housing, Porphyras soon has it driven home that he has come upon a cold war that is an angst-laden hybrid of his past adventures in both Materas and Caulonia where he had to resolve both Dora and Rebecca's long-standing anguish when he comes upon a photograph of Rose with Tiffany. | ||
| 46 | "The Chance Meeting In Paris" "Pari Nomeguri Ai[35]" | 16 November 2008 |
| Galvanized by the beautiful morning visited unto Paris, Porphyras wakes up to find that it has only been a short period of time since Rose completed her home commute from her graveyard-shift job and that he needs to fuel Rose's cat Noel before he begins his work commute where he learns just how large a city Paris is along with it being demonstrated the syllabus of his near-future adventure involving Tiffany Aubert; as has been previously demonstrated, Mr. Xaropoulos is far more interested in Porphyras as a cash cow than a human being when he hijacks a hefty tip paid the orphan by a Greek customer. Throughout the composition of his letter to Zaïmis that night, Porphyras does not realize that Isabella's slow work day the next morning is about to accelerate by a not-at-all-insignificant margin when Tiffany decides an impromptu audition unto Marina at which Isabella cries foul; while the augury verily affirms that Tiffany is not a confidence woman with ill intentions, its practical utility is only after Carlos's unsuccessful attempt to rape Marina who drives home her disgust with him for fencing Anek's pocket-watch via a sharp knife. There is profound anguish as Isabella is ultimately forced to acknowledge her surrogate motherhood of Marina having ceased to be constructive and that Tiffany will practice far better family government; while Tiffany explains Marina her volition and why the orphan can fulfill it, Porphyras views a sunset that seems to highlight the fact that tomorrow is another day. | ||
| 47 | "The New Door" "Atarashi i Tobira[36]" | 23 November 2008 |
| Porphyras's computation of where to search next before Rose searches for a map of Paris to aid her counsel is quite tame compared to Marina demonstrating considerable pollution in her cerebral software as she learns the epilogue of the adult concourse of which Isabella's family heirloom is the alpha avatar; much to the relief of all involved parties, Marina's yearning to become an actress and be reunited with Porphyras is stronger than the anguish of Isabella leaving her behind—and of Porphyras being late to work with no data of Marina's whereabouts to serve as a consolation prize. Upon detecting that the walls have ears, Tiffany explains Marina the plot of the upcoming movie »The Song of the Angel« which requires the orphan to assume the role as child Maya whose prologue heavily resonates with her own; while Rose and Porphyras find their inquiries regarding Isabella's whereabouts a fruitless enterprise, Marina has firmly decided for playing child Maya only to find it easier said than done. Porphyras's search would have gotten a huge shot in the arm if he had ultiimately arrived in the park where Marina is doing her thing as child Maya a few minutes earlier; perplexed at why Rose does not share his perspective of her being an excellent actress, Porphyras turns his steps toward his work commute in a bid to win Mr. Xaropoulos's favor. | ||
| 48 | "The Fragment Of A Dream" "Yume Nokakera[37]" | 30 November 2008 |
| There is no question that Marina is in seventh heaven after prosecuting her first successful acting role in the movie »The Song of the Angel« which will launch her acting career by leaps and bounds not unlike the accumulated frustration that ignites when Mr. Xaropoulos disparages Porphyras's character along with Anek and Christophore over a small discrepancy in the daily revenue even when Alex pipes up with the answer; nevertheless, resigning in the heat of an adversarial divergent concourse with Mr. Xaropoulos evokes immense anguish that prompts Porphyras to seek comfort in Rose's arms as if he were a preschooler prior to cleaning away his anguished boredom all the next day. As if having sensed Tiffany and Marina's participation in the wrap-up party that night after the final scene of the movie being filmed, Rose pipes up to suggest an outing to the roller-skating rink prior to taking a shower which Porphyras ultimately reads as a mission-start signal to confirm his hunch only to be harshly ordered into the street for his trouble; a rainy-day rescue later, Rose confirms Porphyras's hypothesis and acknowledges her grudge with Tiffany. | ||
| 49 | "Rendezvous" "Randebuu[38]" | 7 December 2008 |
| Drawing upon his prologue with Dora back in Materas, Porphyras points out Rose's serial imbibition of wine only to have Rose point out that he is still sniffling from being in the rain the previous night prior to explaining him her collaborative prologue with Tiffany who is trying to convince Marina to do some outdoor kid things or even to window-shop as an urban lady does; while Tiffany's maid Natalie volunteers to accompany Marina, it soon becomes apparent that Porphyras's cerebral software is not refined enough to easily and naturally conduct the kind of adult romance that Rose seeks to teach him as evidenced by his reaction to a passing Karmann Ghia. Natalie's crisp repulsion of a playboy makes it clear to the indecisive Marina that there are times when it cannot be left to chance for a guy to catch the hint about proper etiquette; as Marina picks up a doll that looks similar to the one Corina had, Rose decides to explain Porphyras her prologue of herself being a country girl whose efforts to refine herself as an actress failed to bear fruit—the child pickpocket being challenged by his target a prime example. As has been previously demonstrated, Marina's alpha anxiety is that she lacks the data necessary to ultimately reunite with Porphyras and to have her own life economy that does not rely so heavily upon other people; as if to demonstrate the efficacy of Natalie's counsel, Tiffany's work commute has a chance encounter with Rose as its central element while Noel leads Porphyras to an advertisement about »The Song of the Angel« featuring a customized but recognizable Marina. | ||
| 50 | "A Lie" "Uso[39]" | 14 December 2008 |
| Upon seeing the advertisement, Porphyras is not slow in approaching Rose with the volition to view »The Song of the Angel« to confirm his hypothesis of Marina being one of the actresses; while Rose tries to counterbalance Porphyras's zeal to follow up this newfound data, Marina is delighted to have gotten fan mail but is disappointed that she only received one whose author was not her brother Porphyras who has decided to turn his steps toward the movie studio the next morning. A turbulent lesson about the importance of maintaining a healthy perspective is set in motion when Porphyras finds that the gate sentry is not very accommodating of childish curiosity while Natalie deals Marina a reality check about how Tiffany's rise to stardom has not been a smooth journey and that she should be happy with the single fan letter before excusing herself; elated at Rose's promise to pull some strings on his behalf, Porphyras makes the mistake of declaring his intention to return to Greece after he fetches Marina which frightens Rose into returning the inverse of Emilie's observation of it having been Marina in the movie. Tiffany senses the deviant diagnostic within Marina who has ultimately seen the logic behind Natalie's counsel while practicing the lines for another movie whose plot is very similar to Porphyras scrambling for a way to get the requisite data from the horse's mouth oblivious to Rose being in anguish from her subterfuge being of null utility; much to Porphyras's surprise—and relief, an unexpected reunion with Zaïmis is exactly what the doctor ordered. | ||
| 51 | "The Wish" "Negai[40]" | 21 December 2008 |
| Once their CPUs bootstrap back to nominal operating status, Porphyras and Zaïmis are not slow in catching up on old times nor in zeroing in on pinpointing Marina's whereabouts as the alpha priority; a viewing of »The Song of the Angel« later, Zaïmis is convinced that it is Marina in the movie—and that there needs to be a way to prove it quod erat demonstrandum since Rose is not keen on abandoning her deception. Porphyras finds that convincing Rose to allow him to venture out by himself without giving away his destination requires a bit of innovation; still, Rose's spending money does come in handy for the subway fare to the movie studio where Porphyras points out the sentry that had previously stopped him. Zaïmis's plan involves a combination of distracting the sentry while Porphyras sneaks in only to be availed as a stevedore moving boxes; as has been previously demonstrated, Porphyras soon gets distracted by the novel environment inside the movie studio which becomes the forum for one of the stage hands to detect him as an interloper but also to summon Emilie on his behalf. Porphyras's attempt to compute why Rose would lie to him serves a stark contrast to Marina signalling a reunion with Porphyras as the ideal Xmas present as she also recalls a Yuletime tradition in Patagos-ke she catalyzed with her mother Anek that ultimately hits really close to home; while she does not have the exact data of Marina's off-stage whereabouts, Rose does come clean with her desire for Porphyras's perpetual proximity. | ||
| 52 | "For This Moment" "Kono Shunkan Notameni[41]" | 28 December 2008 |
| Homeless, friendless, penniless, hopeless . . . those four things are the endoskeleton of Rose's cerebral computation as she courageously comes to grip with the fact that she cannot in good conscience keep Porphyras away from his sister Marina or withhold him the choice of whether to return to Greece; while Rose signals an interest in a metal nut Porphyras has in his possession prior to setting out to make a phone call, Zaïmis's astonishment of the snow flurry gives way to developing a crush on Natalie before she gets her home commute catalyzed. Porphyras decides to effect a rendezvous with Zaïmis with whom he reflects on his journey to locate Marina while learning that Zaïmis has built a significant prologue of work as a field hand; while the two boys arm-wrestle to determine whether field work or walking long distances strengthens more, Rose acknowledges Tiffany as a real star prior to explaining that she has befriended Porphyras and that the time has come to reunite him with Marina. In addition to the arm-wrestling, Porphyras makes it quite clear to Zaïmis that third-person references of Anek and Christophore along with the earthquake hit really close to home; while Porphyras points out how he and Zaïmis are still alive, Marina is astounded at the fully decorated Xmas tree—and at Tiffany's claims of Santa Claus having prepared an excellent present for her. Porphyras is taken aback that Rose happily declares that his journey will finally come to a close after the night at the movie theater; waiting for him at the nadir of the auditorium front and center is the overjoyed Marina who leaps into his arms with a bear-hug complete with tears of joy. | ||
