SIGN    Sankt Jeder, Giad Federacy
[01:30] News
    The Festival of the Holy Birth is next week,
    and the whole city's getting ready!
SIGN    December 18th, Stellar Year 2148
[01:37] News
    Today we'll show you just
    how much fun everyone's having!
[01:43] News
    This is a special ornament set
    you can get only at this market.
[01:46] News
    It's so cute, isn't it?
[01:49] Boyfriend TV
    It's kind of expensive!
[01:50] Girlfriend TV
    I want it, though.
[01:54] Boyfriend TV
    Oh, fine! I'll take it!
[01:57] Frederica
    What?
[01:57] Woman TV
    Thank you!
[01:59] Frederica
    Theresa, where's Shinei?
[02:01] Truck man 1
    I'm tired!
[02:03] Raiden
    Really?
[02:05] Truck man 1
    You're really tough.
[02:06] Truck man 1
    You loaded that fridge
    all by yourself, right?
[02:09] Raiden
    Oh, that's easy,
    if you know the trick.
[02:11] Truck man 1
    No, no.
[02:13] Truck man 2
    But that delivery to the seventh floor
    with no elevator yesterday was really rough, right?
[02:16] Raiden
    It was a three-ring circus
    filled with fun and excitement.
[02:20] Truck man 1
    What?
[02:26] Woman 1
    Want to go to that café?
[02:27] Woman 2
    Okay!
[02:29] Girlfriend
    Where are we going now?
[02:30] Boyfriend
    Hmm... Maybe try on some clothes?
[02:33] Girlfriend
    Okay!
[02:56] Glasses Man
    You've got a nice touch.
[02:59] Theo
    Thank you.
SIGN    Cooking Class
[03:06] Cook woman 1
    Hey, you only ever learned
    to make desserts, right, Anju?
[03:10] Cook woman 2
    You'll want to learn to do normal cooking,
    or you'll have problems in the future.
[03:14] Anju
    Future?
[03:15] Cook woman 2
    When you cook for your kids,
    for example.
[03:18] Anju
    Kids? No way!
SIGN    Imperial Capital Central Library
[03:24] Library woman 1
    There he is!
[03:25] Library woman 1
    He's always so cool!
[03:29] Library women
    Hi, there!
[04:06] Eugene
    H-Hey!
[04:10] Eugene
    Nina, when someone does something for you
    or lets you have something, say "thank you."
[04:16] Eugene
    Sorry, my sister was very rude.
[04:19] Shinei
    No, it's fine.
    I wasn't reading it.
[04:22] Eugene
    It's not fine!
[04:24] Eugene
    You need to have them learn
    at a young age.
[04:27] Eugene
    Come on.
[04:31] Nina
    Thank you...
[04:33] Eugene
    Hey!
[04:36] Eugene
    Oh jeez... that girl.
[04:39] Eugene
    Thanks.
[04:41] Eugene
    Sorry to get you involved in that.
[04:44] Shinei
    No, it must be rough
    being a big brother.
[04:46] Eugene
    I don't know where she got it from,
    but she's really shy.
[04:53] Eugene
    Um... This may be rude,
[04:56] Eugene
    but you're here a lot
    at this time of day.
[04:58] Eugene
    Don't you have school?
[04:59] Shinei
    What about you?
[05:01] Shinei
    If you see me a lot,
    that means you're here, too.
[05:05] Eugene
    Oh, yeah.
[05:07] Eugene
    I don't go to school.
[05:09] Eugene
    I can't.
[05:11] Eugene
    We're not that wealthy.
[05:15] Eugene
    Sorry for just talking
    to you out of nowhere.
[05:17] Eugene
    I'm Eugene Rantz.
[05:18] Eugene
    Nice to meet you.
[05:20] Shinei
    Shinei Nouzen.
[05:22] Frederica
    Frederica Rosenfort!
[05:24] Nina
    Nina Rantz.
[05:25] Shinei
    What are you doing?
[05:27] Frederica
    I read her a book,
    and she took a liking to me.
[05:30] Frederica
    It was a story for little kids,
    with lots of princes and princesses!
[05:35] Frederica
    I'll read the rest some other time.
[05:37] Nina
    Okay!
[05:37] Shinei
    Sorry.
[05:38] Eugene
    Your little sister?
[05:40] Shinei
    Not a chance.
[05:41] Frederica
    Shinei!
[05:43] Frederica
    You're not doing anything, right?
[05:46] Frederica
    Come with me.
[06:02] Booth Man
    It's a little early, but why not get it
    for her as a festival present?
[06:07] Booth Man
    I'll give you a discount,
    since your little sister's so cute.
[06:10] Shinei
    Not a chance.
[06:11] Frederica
    Big brother!
[06:13] Frederica
    I want it!
[06:19] Frederica
    I... I... want it...
[06:29] Frederica
    You're more gullible than you look.
[06:32] Shinei
    Where did you learn
     how to do that stuff?
[07:13] Ernst
    I want to go home early tomorrow,
    so I'll stay a little later tonight.
[07:17] Ernst
    It's the Eve of the Holy Birth tomorrow.
[07:20] Secretary
    The Republic has a tradition
    of exchanging presents, too.
[07:24] Ernst
    Presents, huh?
[07:26] Ernst
    What would be good, I wonder...
[07:29] Suit
    They've been here a month,
[07:33] Suit
    and they've all found friends
    and things to do.
[07:35] Suit
    They're fitting in well.
[07:38] Ernst
    Yes, it's a good sign
    that they've made friends.
[07:42] Ernst
    They'll be fine.
[07:45] Ernst
    We're going to have to find a real path
    for them to take in life, once spring comes around.
[08:03] Kaie
    I know it's an awful thing to ask.
[08:07] Kaie
    You've gone as far as you can go.
[08:10] Kaie
    You've taken us with you.
[08:14] Kaie
    So you should be able to forget about us.
[08:19] Kaie
    But knowing that...
[08:23] Kaie
    It still hurts.
[08:26] Kaie
    Staying here hurts.
[08:29] Kaie
    I'm dead. I want to go home.
[08:33] Kaie
    So... Shin.
[08:35] Kaie
    Our Reaper...
[08:42] Kaie
    Please, save us.
[08:52] Eugene
    Shin!
[08:57] Eugene
    I know the sunlight's nice and warm,
    but the librarians will get mad at you for sleeping!
SIGN    December 24th, Stellar Year 2148
[09:02] Eugene
    Did you stay up too late?
[09:04] Shinei
    No...
[09:07] Eugene
    It's about time.
    Want to go see?
[09:10] Shinei
    What?
[09:10] Eugene
    The military's Holy Birth Festival Eve Parade!
[09:13] Eugene
    This year it's the Western Theater's
    24th Mechanized Infantry Division,
[09:17] Eugene
    so we should be able to see the latest
     model of third-generation Vánagandrs!
[09:23] Eugene
    Oh, are you not interested?
[09:25] Shinei
    No, you just don't seem like
     somebody who would care about that.
[09:30] Eugene
    I'm joining the service.
[09:33] Eugene
    I volunteered for the Mechanized Infantry.
[09:35] Eugene
    So I wanted to see them.
[09:38] Eugene
    I thought you were the same.
[09:42] Eugene
    You were looking at military documents
    yesterday and the day before.
[09:45] Eugene
    I thought you were trying to get
    into the Special Officer's School, too.
[09:50] Eugene
    This place is peaceful,
    but they're fighting at the border.
[09:54] Eugene
    And we don't know
    when the war will come here.
[09:58] Eugene
    If there's something I can do
    to prevent that,
[09:59] Eugene
    to protect my little sister
    and this town, I want to do it...
[10:04] Eugene
    And someday, I want my sister
    to see the ocean.
[10:09] Eugene
    So I need this war to end.
[10:13] Shinei
    Yeah.
[10:16] Eugene
    Okay, I'll be off.
[10:18] Eugene
    Come if you're curious.
[10:27] Shinei
    I've rested too long.
SIGN    December 24th, Stellar Year 2148
[10:56] Anju
    There you are!
[10:58] Anju
    You said you were going
    to Republic Plaza,
[11:01] Anju
    so I thought you might be here.
[11:04] Theo
    What?
[11:05] Anju
    I want your help with something.
[11:07] Anju
    I need to carry some things,
    and I can't do it all on my own.
[11:10] Theo
    Sure, sure. Need anyone else?
[11:13] Theo
    Shin's probably free.
[11:15] Theo
    Shin—
[11:21] Theo
    These things sure are "convenient,"
    aren't they?
[11:24] Theo
    Even though you have
    to carry them around everywhere,
[11:26] Theo
    and they don't work
    if the other person turns them off,
[11:29] Theo
    and you have to punch in the number
    each time or register it...
[11:33] Anju
    You preferred the implants?
[11:38] Anju
    It's weird how the Federacy
    wanted those things.
[11:42] Anju
    I know it's odd to say this
    after we used them for so long,
[11:44] Anju
    but we know basically nothing about them.
[11:47] Theo
    Well, they're probably useful
    on the battlefield.
[11:49] Theo
    These things get jammed easily, I guess.
[11:52] Theo
    As for the Juggernauts,
[11:54] Theo
    I don't know what they expect to learn
    from looking at those walking coffins.
[11:58] Anju
    There wasn't anything I wanted
    to take from them, though.
[12:02] Theo
    Same.
[12:03] Theo
    He's not answering!
[12:07] Theo
    You know... Shin wanted
    his scarf and pistol back.
[12:12] Theo
    Ernst ended up holding on to the pistol.
[12:16] Anju
    It's the pistol he used to end everyone's lives.
[12:20] Anju
    Shin never let anyone else do that.
[12:27] Theo
    I'm sure he had to,
    because of the voices,
[12:30] Theo
    but I don't think it would kill him
    to take it easier.
[12:35] Anju
    There were probably times when
     being trapped by it helped him survive.
[12:41] Anju
    In a way, it kept him alive.
[12:44] Anju
    Maybe having the goal of killing his brother
    kept him here with us.
[12:51] Anju
    Without that, now he's...
[12:58] Theo
    This place, Republic Plaza,
    is where the Republic's embassy was.
[13:06] Theo
    I didn't know that when I came here.
[13:08] Theo
    Maybe I'm still trapped, too.
[13:13] Theo
    What about you, Anju?
[13:15] Theo
    You were supposed to die on that
    battlefield, but you're still alive.
[13:19] Theo
    They want us to think about our futures.
[13:22] Theo
    Have you decided on yours?
[13:28] Anju
    I thought about it a lot,
    but it's the same.
[13:32] Anju
    The things I think
    I should be doing...
[13:36] Anju
    You're asking me now?
    Isn't it too late for that?
[13:38] Theo
    Yeah.
[13:45] Anju
    Anyway!
[13:46] Theo
    Oh, right.
[13:48] Theo
    Come on, Shin!
[14:01] Truck man 2
    Wow! The Vánagandrs are huge!
[14:05] Truck man 1
    How do you drive one of those?
[14:07] Truck man 1
    I'd love to give it a try.
[14:13] Shop Woman
    How about this one?
[14:15] Shop Woman
    I'm sure you'd look great in it!
[14:18] Shop Woman
    If you wait till next week,
    it'll be 20% off!
[14:22] Kurena
    Next week...
[14:24] Shop Woman
    Yup, yup!
[14:26] Kurena
    I don't really know...
[14:29] Shop Woman
    Come back if you change your mind!
[14:32] Kurena
    Okay...
[14:33] Shop Woman
    Come in!
    Hey, I haven't seen you in a while!
[14:36] Shop Woman
    What are you looking for today?
[14:37] Shop Woman
    Want to try on some of our new stuff?
    You'll love it!
[14:46] Raiden
    What's wrong?
[14:47] Frederica
    Raiden, welcome back.
[14:52] Raiden
    Where's Theresa?
[14:54] Frederica
    She went shopping
    and hasn't come back.
[14:57] Raiden
    Nobody's here?
[14:59] Raiden
    So—
[14:59] Frederica
    I'm really hungry!
[15:06] Frederica
    I'm—
[15:07] Raiden
    Just wait.
[15:10] Frederica
    It's delicious!
[15:12] Frederica
    You have my gratitude, Raiden!
[15:13] Raiden
    Right, right.
[15:16] Frederica
    Weren't you going drinking
    with your work buddies today?
[15:20] Raiden
    Oh...
[15:22] Raiden
    I canceled.
[15:25] Raiden
    You're lucky I was the one
    who came home early.
[15:29] Raiden
    If it were Shin, things would have
     turned out quite differently.
[15:33] Frederica
    What... so Shinei is a bad cook?
[15:36] Raiden
    Not bad, but he doesn't care,
    and it shows.
[15:40] Raiden
    He only cares about fighting.
[15:42] Frederica
    I see.
[15:44] Frederica
    Sounds like a man who dedicated
    everything to killing his brother.
[15:49] Raiden
    How did you know about Shin's brother?
[15:54] Frederica
    Well...
[15:56] Shinei
    Eat your carrots, too.
[15:58] Frederica
    How did you get in here
    without making any noise?
[16:01] Shinei
    Habit.
[16:01] Frederica
    "Habit"?!
[16:02] Raiden
    What's all this stuff?
[16:02] Frederica
    Stop it! It scares me!
[16:05] Shinei
    Just get used to it,
    and it won't be a problem.
[16:05] A
    We went shopping with Theresa,
    and the car broke down.
[16:08] Theresa
    And since there was a lot to carry...
[16:11] Anju
    We looked.
[16:12] Theresa
    We called him.
[16:16] Raiden
    Welcome home.
[16:18] Theresa
    Thank you, everyone.
[16:20] Theresa
    I wasn't doing anything anyway.
[16:22] Theresa
    You should've just asked
    from the start.
[16:24] Theresa
    I'm a servant here. I can't let
    the master's children carry my things.
[16:28] Theresa
    No, he's not our dad.
[16:32] Theresa
    Oh, welcome home, Kurena.
[16:35] Kurena
    Yeah...
[16:38] A
    What's wrong?
[16:40] Kurena
    Um, well...
[16:52] Kurena
    I... think I've seen
    everything I need to see!
[17:01] Shinei
    You've had enough?
[17:03] Kurena
    Yeah...
[17:04] Kurena
    Let's go back...
    to where we belong!
[17:15] Ernst
    Why?
[17:16] Theo
    "Why?"
[17:18] Raiden
    We're sorry for being suspicious at first.
[17:21] Raiden
    This is a good place.
[17:23] Raiden
    So we stayed here a little too long.
[17:26] Anju
    We've had our rest.
[17:28] Anju
    And want to keep going.
[17:30] Kurena
    So we're going back.
[17:32] Ernst
    But why go back to the battlefield?
[17:35] Theo
    We said we wanted to from the start.
[17:39] Ernst
    Yes, but...
[17:41] Shinei
    We were lucky, that's all.
[17:44] Shinei
    If we use that as an excuse
    to stay here,
[17:47] Shinei
    what can we say to those
    who died fighting until the end?
[17:50] Shinei
    We can't pretend
    to be at peace when we're not.
[17:55] Shinei
    Even if we're going to die either way,
    we can choose how.
[17:59] Shinei
    If we're going to die someday,
    we will fight till the end.
[18:02] Shinei
    That's the life we chose.
[18:04] Shinei
    Please don't take that from us.
[18:07] Ernst
    That's not true!
[18:09] Ernst
    It's not!
[18:10] Ernst
    You made it here because
     you fought to the end!
[18:14] Ernst
    You have the right
    to enjoy your reward!
[18:17] Ernst
    That's what your comrades would want!
[18:21] Ernst
    It's not something to be ashamed of!
[18:23] Frederica
    Silence, Ernst.
[18:25] Frederica
    They've finally escaped
    a cage of oppression.
[18:28] Frederica
    Now you're going to trap them
    in a cage of pity?
[18:32] Frederica
    You're not so stupid to miss
    that you'd be the same as the Republic.
[18:39] Frederica
    They're not young, ignorant children.
[18:44] Frederica
    If they want to go, let them go.
[18:48] Raiden
    And it wouldn't do to say you're going on ahead,
    only to have someone else go first.
[18:57] Ernst
    All right.
[18:58] Ernst
    But on one condition.
[19:01] Ernst
    You need to go through the Special Officer's
    Training School and become officers.
[19:05] Ernst
    Otherwise, no.
[19:07] Ernst
    When you leave the service, officers will have
    more opportunities than enlisted soldiers.
[19:12] Ernst
    I want you to have as many choices available
     to you as possible when this war is over.
[19:16] Theresa
    "When the war is over"?
[19:18] Anju
    I never thought about that.
[19:21] Ernst
    This war will end someday.
[19:23] Ernst
    If you want to fight until the end,
[19:25] Ernst
    you need to think about
    what'll happen when it's over.
[19:31] Frederica
    You should be able to accept that.
[19:34] Frederica
    I understand that you've got nothing
    but your pride to keep you together.
[19:40] Frederica
    But that's no way for a
    complete human being to live.
[19:46] Frederica
    It's blood and soil that
    make a person who they are.
[19:50] Frederica
    If you have neither, and try to define yourself
    just by who you personally are,
[19:55] Frederica
    when you lose sight of that,
    you'll quickly fall apart.
[19:58] Frederica
    Never forget that.
[20:02] Shinei
    Who are you talking to, princess?
[20:07] Frederica
    I'm not a princess.
[20:09] Frederica
    My true name is Augusta Frederica Adel-Adler.
[20:15] Frederica
    The last Empress of the Empire of Giad,
[20:18] Frederica
    who ordered the Legion to invade
     the rest of the continent ten years ago.
[20:26] Frederica
    I am one of those who took your families
    and your home from you.
[20:31] Frederica
    If there's anything you want
    to say to me, go ahead.
[20:38] Raiden
    I don't know if you're
     the last empress or whatever,
[20:41] Raiden
    but it was the Republic
    who took everything from us.
[20:45] Raiden
    We're not going
    to suddenly forget that now.
[20:48] Raiden
    Don't insult us.
[20:50] Raiden
    Also, how old were you ten years ago?
[20:56] Frederica
    I'm sorry.
[20:59] Frederica
    I admire your pride,
    so let me make a request of you Eighty-Six.
SIGN    January 7th, Stellar Year 2149
[21:05] Frederica
    If you're going back to the battlefield,
[21:07] Frederica
    take me with you!
[21:10] Frederica
    And help me destroy my knight's ghost!
[21:14] Shinei
    He was taken by the Legion?
[21:17] Frederica
    Yes. The Legion who attacked you
    just before you reached this country.
[21:22] Shinei
    How do you know?
[21:24] Frederica
    The power of the blood
    I inherited allows me
[21:27] Frederica
    to see glimpses of the present
    and past of those I meet.
[21:35] Frederica
    The wound your brother gave
     you hurt, didn't it?
[21:40] Frederica
    I'm sorry. I saw.
[21:43] Frederica
    But seeing is all I can do!
[21:46] Frederica
    I can't save Kiriya alone!
[21:50] Frederica
    So please... help me!
[21:53] Frederica
    Like the brother you saved,
    and who saved you in turn...
[21:57] Frederica
    Save my knight!
