    The treasured Kurain Village heirloom,
    "Shichishito," or "Seven-Branched Sword."
[00:05] PW
    It is said that this sacred
    sword represents life itself.
[00:10] PW
    Though the branches may appear to
    be infinite, the choices limitless...
[00:15] PW
    Like our destinies,
    the sword comes to but one end.
[00:19] PW
    It mercilessly severs the thread
    binding us to this world, impales us,
[00:26] PW
    and lays bare the implacability of fate.

    If you don't mind me asking...
[19:09] ME
    I have a feeling that
    you and I have met before.
[19:11] Iris
    It must be your imagination.
[19:13] Iris
    I hardly ever leave Hazakura Temple.
[19:16] ME
    I see.
[19:18] ME
    Are you training to boost
    your spiritual powers, too?
[19:22] Iris
    I have no such powers.
[19:25] Iris
    But I've committed some sins
    that I need to atone for.
[19:30] Iris
    That's why I train to purify my soul.
[19:33] ME
    Could you tell me about last night,
     the night of the murder?
[19:37] Iris
    Of course.
[19:38] Iris
    After dinner, I saw Miss Trainee and
    Bikini-sama off to the Inner Temple,
[19:43] Iris
    and at 10 PM, I rang the bell for lights out.
[19:46] Iris
    After that, I stayed in
    my room until it happened.
[19:49] ME
    Answer me this simple question.
[19:51] ME
    You didn't kill Tenryusai Elise, did you?
[19:55] Iris
    No, I'm not the one who took her life.
[19:59] ME
    I visited Naruhodo at the
    hospital before coming here.
[20:03] ME
    That's when he asked me.
[20:06] ME
    He asked me to defend you
    in the trial tomorrow.
[20:10] Iris
    Naruhodo-san did?
[20:12] ME
    Ayame-san, you knew him
    from before, didn't you?
[20:17] Iris
    Wh-Why would you think that?
[20:20] ME
    Whenever you came up in our conversation,
    he acted a little strange.
[20:23] ME
    I could tell.
[20:25] Iris
    Mitsurugi-sama, are you his friend?
[20:29] ME
    He is an irreplaceable friend.
[20:35] Iris
    I understand.
[20:37] Iris
    Five years ago, I deceived him.
[20:42] ME
    "Deceived"?
[20:44] Iris
    Yes.
[20:44] Iris
    Because I was a weak person.
[20:48] Iris
    And I heard that it caused him a lot of pain.
[20:51] Iris
    So I decided never to show
    my face to him again.
[20:54] ME
    If you ask me, he is still suffering.
[20:58] ME
    And he will continue to suffer
    until he learns the truth.
[21:03] ME
    It's not too late.
[21:05] ME
    You should tell him the truth.
[21:11] Iris
    Very well. I promise.
[21:15] ME
    In tomorrow's trial, I'll defend
    you with everything I have!

[21:24] ME
    All right. That should do it.
[21:27] ME
    Now I need information about the murder.
[21:30] ME
    I think I'll do things your
    way in tomorrow's trial.

    As I'm stuck in bed,
[21:38] PW
    the situation continues to develop.
[21:41] PW
    And the Inner Temple remains
    cut off from it all.
