**[00:04] ---**
*Welcome home, Doctor.*
**[00:11] ---**
In roughly thirty-two hours,
**[00:14] ---**
Chernobog's core city will
collide with Lungmen.
**[00:18] ---**
Currently, the nomadic city is
fully under Reunion's control.
**[00:23] ---**
Yet it continues to signal
that it "belongs to Ursus."
**[00:27] ---**
If you were to take military
action to stop its advance,
**[00:31] ---**
it would be seen as Lungmen, and therefore
Yan, taking an act of war against Ursus.
**[00:35] ---**
*We have reached your destination,
the Integrated Bioprocessing Unit.*
**[00:40] ---**
*Ending navigation mode.*
**[00:50] ---**
Are you the Doctor?
**[00:55] ---**
Yep.
**[00:56] ---**
It's you. I'm sure of it.
**[00:58] ---**
I can feel it... You're a
little different, though.
**[01:07] ---**
Who is this?
**[01:10] ---**
Your friend?
**[01:12] ---**
She's a fighter.
**[01:16] ---**
Is she an enemy?
**[01:17] ---**
It looks like she hurt you.
**[01:21] ---**
No, that's not it.
**[01:24] ---**
You look like you lost something important.
**[01:31] ---**
But...
**[01:32] ---**
you barely know her at all.
**[01:37] ---**
I-I'm sorry.
**[01:39] ---**
I... Please don't be mad.
**[01:41] ---**
Her connection to this world
has no connection to me.
**[01:42] ---**
I'm not mad.
**[01:46] ---**
I have no right to touch her.
**[01:50] ---**
Did you want to use this machine?
**[01:53] ---**
I'll help you.
**[01:55] ---**
I'm used to it, since
I've had to use it a lot.
**[01:57] ---**
This is where all of Rhodes
Island's Infected end up.
**[02:02] ---**
Umm...
**[02:04] ---**
The controls...
**[02:07] ---**
Okay.
**[02:14] ---**
This way.
**[02:19] ---**
It's okay. Even if I've forgotten,
**[02:22] ---**
I just have to read this,
and my body will remember.
**[02:26] ---**
Both the controls and how
sending them off feels.
**[02:29] ---**
Sending them off?
**[02:34] ---**
It's like untying the threads
linking us to each other.
**[02:39] ---**
The threads will always be with us, forever.
**[02:44] ---**
That's how we know that she was once
**[02:48] ---**
alive and that she's no longer with us.
**[02:52] ---**
That's what I meant.
**[02:55] ---**
Put her down here.
**[03:02] ---**
The other ends of the threads
are still tied to us.
**[03:07] ---**
Even when one side is gone,
**[03:09] ---**
the threads don't come
hanging down on their own.
**[03:12] ---**
But it feels like you've lost
something inside yourself.
**[03:17] ---**
Why would you want to get
used to that feeling?
**[03:20] ---**
If you know how it feels, the sudden sting
of losing someone will hurt less, right?
**[03:27] ---**
*Elite Operator Rosmontis.
Updating identification code.*
**[03:32] ---**
Wait. I'll write it down.
**[03:35] ---**
*If you would allow access to your terminal,
the information can be sent directly.*
**[03:40] ---**
No!
**[03:41] ---**
I... I have to write this myself.
**[03:47] ---**
*Understood.*
**[03:50] ---**
So you're an elite operator.
**[03:54] ---**
Oh.
**[03:55] ---**
Rosmontis. I'm Rosmontis.
**[03:58] ---**
I see.
**[04:00] ---**
Can I ask what her name is?
**[04:04] ---**
FrostNova.
**[04:08] ---**
FrostNova.
**[04:11] ---**
A pretty name...
**[04:19] ---**
Nice to meet you, FrostNova.
**[04:25] ---**
...Bye bye.
**[04:38] ---**
Reunion holding Ursus hostage like this...
**[04:44] ---**
It's the height of absurdity.
**[04:46] ---**
Ursus expansionism is driven by a lust
for wealth, territory, and growth.
**[04:52] ---**
If it was profitable, the Empire would
start a war without a second thought.
**[04:55] ---**
Even if it's against the land itself.
**[04:58] ---**
However, provoking a conflict with
Yan would only lead to a major war.
**[05:02] ---**
Given its current instability,
there is no way Ursus
**[05:05] ---**
would disregard the damage and
wage a war that is doomed to fail.
**[05:10] ---**
We'll confer with the
Ursus State Council and
**[05:13] ---**
Chairman Witte and take care
of Chernobog on our end.
**[05:17] ---**
You have that much faith in Ursus?
**[05:20] ---**
I have faith that both sides
still have a bit of sanity left.
**[05:24] ---**
Fumizuki, contact Chairman Witte.
**[05:26] ---**
Before that...
**[05:28] ---**
There is something else you must hear.
**[05:30] ---**
It'll have to be later.
**[05:32] ---**
Right now, we must reach
Chairman Witte posthaste—
**[05:36] ---**
*Chief Wei, you must act immediately
upon receiving this message.*
**[05:38] ---**
That voice...
**[05:39] ---**
The Messenger I sent.
**[05:41] ---**
*The Third and Fourth Armies
are refusing to act.*
**[05:45] ---**
*There are forces within
Ursus vying for supremacy,*
**[05:47] ---**
*and there is no sign of the Chernobog
situation getting resolved.*
**[05:50] ---**
*We were unable to even meet with
Chairman Witte at the Council.*
**[05:54] ---**
*We are under attack and stuck here.*
**[05:57] ---**
*Please take action as soon as possible—*
**[05:59] ---**
How is he now?
**[06:01] ---**
Unclear if he's alive or dead.
**[06:03] ---**
I see...
**[06:05] ---**
It sounds like Chairman Witte plans to
stand by and see how this plays out.
**[06:09] ---**
Ursus's bureaucracy may be
in some state of paralysis.
**[06:14] ---**
No.
**[06:15] ---**
With the full force of Ursus's military
might, Reunion could be easily suppressed.
**[06:20] ---**
However, it has been over a week
since Chernobog was occupied,
**[06:26] ---**
and the Ursus government hasn't
said a word regarding the incident.
**[06:31] ---**
To put it bluntly,
**[06:33] ---**
they took no action at all.
**[06:36] ---**
The Ursus government themselves
handed Chernobog over to Reunion.
**[06:42] ---**
Right now, Chernobog is
plagued with Oripathy.
**[06:45] ---**
If it crashes into Lungmen, infections
will quickly spread throughout the city.
**[06:50] ---**
That way,
**[06:51] ---**
they could drive us into a corner
without so much as lifting a finger.
**[06:56] ---**
This is no longer a problem
we can resolve on our own.
**[07:00] ---**
We need to work with Rhodes Island—
**[07:02] ---**
Prepare Lungmen for war immediately.
**[07:05] ---**
We will disable Chernobog's core.
**[07:08] ---**
Chief Wei!
**[07:09] ---**
You're going to start the war yourself?
**[07:12] ---**
That's the only option at this point.
**[07:14] ---**
I'm afraid Witte and I are the last hope
for peace between our two countries.
**[07:20] ---**
Now that he has turned us down, I
must clean up this mess on my own.
**[07:24] ---**
Hold on, Chief Wei!
**[07:25] ---**
You mustn't start this war on your end!
**[07:28] ---**
That is precisely what Ursus wants.
**[07:30] ---**
Regardless of the truth,
**[07:31] ---**
you will be antagonized
by neighboring nations
**[07:34] ---**
and likely find yourself isolated.
**[07:35] ---**
Think carefully.
**[07:36] ---**
I'm well aware that war is
serious business, Miss Kal'tsit,
**[07:40] ---**
but the alternative would be far worse!
**[07:46] ---**
I'll go.
**[07:49] ---**
I'll take care of it.
**[07:53] ---**
Ch'en?
**[07:53] ---**
It makes no difference.
**[07:55] ---**
You're a Lungmenite.
**[07:57] ---**
I just have to leave Lungmen, then.
**[08:03] ---**
If Lungmen needs a traitor, let it be me.
**[08:08] ---**
How absurd...
**[08:10] ---**
I'm sick of you.
**[08:12] ---**
From the moment you dug
your claws into the slums,
**[08:14] ---**
I stopped being a Lungmenite.
**[08:18] ---**
Taking up the cudgels for the slums, are we?
**[08:22] ---**
Why did you have to something
so terrible? What did they do?!
**[08:25] ---**
Yes, you're right. They did *nothing*.
**[08:28] ---**
They never so much as tried to tell us about
**[08:31] ---**
Reunion's infiltration or
where they were hiding.
**[08:34] ---**
They might have been threatened!
**[08:36] ---**
We should've sent the L.G.D. there long
ago to get ahold of the situation!
**[08:39] ---**
*They* were the ones who didn't
want the L.G.D. in the slums!
**[08:43] ---**
They scoffed at the L.G.D. and instead
chose to accept Reunion's help.
**[08:48] ---**
Even as Lin Kojui and I worked so hard
**[08:51] ---**
to root out the criminals from the
slums and maintain their livelihoods.
**[08:57] ---**
Answer me, Ch'en.
**[08:59] ---**
Was it *I* who rejected them?
**[09:03] ---**
Look me in the eyes and answer me!
**[09:05] ---**
It's not their fault!
**[09:08] ---**
Unfortunately, I have no reason
to care for these people anymore.
**[09:12] ---**
So you'll abandon them?!
**[09:13] ---**
You mustn't let your ideals get in the way.
**[09:18] ---**
Ch'en, it's true we are all tainted
with our innumerable mistakes.
**[09:22] ---**
But for now, this is something
that I alone can do.
**[09:28] ---**
Which is why, Ch'en,
**[09:29] ---**
you should do what you must.
**[09:38] ---**
There are Infected in Lungmen...
**[09:41] ---**
Are you saying that itself is a mistake?
**[09:43] ---**
And that your duty is to rectify that?
**[09:48] ---**
In that case, you'll have to rectify me too.
**[09:51] ---**
Because I am Infected.
**[09:55] ---**
Ch'en...
**[09:57] ---**
The L.G.D. is cracking down on the Infected,
**[09:59] ---**
yet there's an Infected among its ranks.
**[10:02] ---**
Ironic, isn't it?
**[10:05] ---**
Sorry about everything.
**[10:06] ---**
Madame Ch'en...
**[10:08] ---**
Now that the Infected have no
place in this city, neither do I.
**[10:13] ---**
I'm the only one who can stop her.
**[10:16] ---**
Stop it.
**[10:16] ---**
I am Infected, and a traitor to Lungmen.
**[10:18] ---**
I am the only one who can do this.
**[10:27] ---**
Seize her!
**[10:33] ---**
I knew it.
**[10:34] ---**
There's no need to hide it anymore, huh?
**[10:38] ---**
Auntie Fumizuki.
**[10:40] ---**
Thanks for looking after me all
these years, like I was family.
**[10:45] ---**
Ch'en!
**[10:46] ---**
You can have this back!
**[10:48] ---**
(Sign) Lungmen Guard Department
**[10:50] ---**
Ch'en!
**[10:51] ---**
Chi Xiao!
**[10:52] ---**
Rouse Qi!
**[10:54] ---**
The dragonslaying sword?!
**[10:58] ---**
Leave the rest to me, Superintendent Ch'en.
**[11:01] ---**
You think I'd buy that?!
**[11:03] ---**
Chi Xiao!
**[11:06] ---**
As the one who taught you swordsmanship,
**[11:08] ---**
I'd prefer not to strip
you of that path myself.
**[11:10] ---**
There are those who this
sword seeks to kill...
**[11:13] ---**
and those who it seeks to protect.
**[11:16] ---**
If she truly wishes to destroy Lungmen...
**[11:20] ---**
Then I'll stop her!
**[11:34] ---**
Hui-chieh!
***SIGN*** Hui-chieh The storm hasn't broken for days. The whole valley's snowed over.
The raspberry bushes still haven't budded. It's like spring'll never come.
We're trapped here, starving, dressed thin, and every silent day we pass waiting for the snow to melt drives us out of our minds.
You know, there's something about it all I find odd.
We've never once had a smooth time of it. Any better circumstances,
and they'd go to shit fast the moment I get involved.
Maybe it really is like the Lungmenites say. I'm a bad omen.
Nothing good comes of being around me. Reminds me of something
from a hell of a long time ago. I've been thinking how I need to share
my thoughts with you, in order to find peace.
**[11:53] ---**
*A secret arrest warrant? For Captain Ch'en?!*
**[11:55] ---**
*That's what I was told.*
**[11:57] ---**
*And the truth is no one can reach her—*
**[12:00] ---**
Hm, I see.
**[12:02] ---**
Now return to your posts.
**[12:08] ---**
Is this really just fate?
**[12:12] ---**
Still, the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree...
**[12:15] ---**
Just don't get yourself killed.
**[12:21] ---**
Lord Wei.
**[12:22] ---**
We will bring Lady Ch'en back
and take Talulah's head.
**[12:27] ---**
Just give the order—
**[12:28] ---**
No. Now get out.
**[12:29] ---**
But, my lord!
**[12:30] ---**
I told you not to call me that.
**[12:33] ---**
Now, please get out.
**[12:44] ---**
Yenwu.
**[12:45] ---**
I know that everything you've done,
you've done for the sake of this city.
**[12:49] ---**
However, our current dilemma
isn't what you wanted, is it?
**[12:54] ---**
Keeping the truth from
her only deepens the cut.
**[12:59] ---**
All I've given this city is
its current miserable state.
**[13:04] ---**
And Hui-chieh wants to change
it from the ground up.
**[13:08] ---**
She wants this place to start
anew, to release it from my rule.
**[13:13] ---**
All I did was teach her what she
would have to give up to get there.
**[13:19] ---**
Even then—
**[13:20] ---**
That's not what I mean.
**[13:22] ---**
Is that how you want your
final moments with them to go?
**[13:27] ---**
Won't you regret losing
both Ch'en and Talulah?
**[13:31] ---**
That is why I alone must do this.
**[13:34] ---**
I can't let Hui-chieh make the same mistake.
**[13:39] ---**
Enough rationalizing.
**[13:41] ---**
Always piling on your righteous excuses...
**[13:44] ---**
Our friends from Rhodes Island.
**[13:46] ---**
Can I ask you to save both
Lungmen and our daughter?
**[13:50] ---**
Whatever your price, I will pay it.
**[13:53] ---**
That's enough, Fumizuki!
**[13:54] ---**
I won't rely on the Infected!
**[13:57] ---**
Who's to say you won't be the next Reunion?!
**[14:02] ---**
From where I'm standing, the only
difference between you and them
**[14:05] ---**
is that you haven't turned
against Lungmen yet!
**[14:07] ---**
Enough already, you pretentious bastard!
**[14:09] ---**
Now knock it off!
**[14:14] ---**
I apologize for the unsightly display.
**[14:17] ---**
N-No, it's okay...
**[14:18] ---**
Um, Ms. Fumizuki.
**[14:21] ---**
May I ask you something?
**[14:23] ---**
Please, by all means.
**[14:26] ---**
What's the relationship between
Madame Ch'en and Talulah?
**[14:30] ---**
They're half-sisters from different fathers.
**[14:33] ---**
Fumizuki!
**[14:34] ---**
They're the daughters of Yenwu's sister.
**[14:37] ---**
They lost their parents when they were
young, and we raised them as our own.
**[14:42] ---**
Why did Talulah...
**[14:44] ---**
Before Yenwu became Lungmen's leader,
**[14:46] ---**
Ursus's Duke Kashchey
plotted to take the city.
**[14:52] ---**
Yenwu was able to fend him off,
**[14:56] ---**
*but the duke managed to take
the young Talulah hostage.*
**[14:59] ---**
*Lungmen or Talulah. That was
the choice that Yenwu faced.*
**[15:04] ---**
*I'm sure you already know
what his decision was.*
**[15:09] ---**
And now a puppet of Ursus, it is Talulah
herself charging toward Lungmen.
**[15:15] ---**
At this point, she's—
**[15:16] ---**
Not necessarily.
**[15:19] ---**
I've heard reports that, before his death,
**[15:21] ---**
the Duke of Kashchey once attended a
fundraising banquet with his adopted daughter.
**[15:25] ---**
The Duke only showed himself when necessary.
**[15:30] ---**
For him to reveal himself in public
alongside Talulah as his adopted daughter...
**[15:35] ---**
She is his successor.
**[15:37] ---**
That confirms something I've suspected,
**[15:40] ---**
not that I want to believe it.
**[15:43] ---**
If she is Kashchey's successor,
that changes everything.
**[15:47] ---**
She likely has a detailed understanding
**[15:49] ---**
of you personally, not to
mention the whole of Lungmen.
**[15:53] ---**
You need outside help.
**[15:55] ---**
This is our problem, and
I alone must settle this.
**[16:00] ---**
You hope to end it all with your own death?
**[16:04] ---**
My death can't pay for all my mistakes.
**[16:07] ---**
But at the very least, the
city will continue to prosper.
**[16:10] ---**
What of Ms. Fumizuki, then?
**[16:12] ---**
What?
**[16:13] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit!
**[16:14] ---**
Even if you're dead, as your widow,
she'll prove to be a valuable witness.
**[16:18] ---**
It's not hard to imagine what
kind of measures they will take.
**[16:23] ---**
Is that your idea of a threat?
**[16:25] ---**
Should that come to pass,
I am prepared to die.
**[16:28] ---**
Nonsense!
**[16:29] ---**
If something should happen to
you, I shall share the same fate.
**[16:33] ---**
F-Fumizuki...
**[16:37] ---**
By now, the Rhodes Island landship
has left Lungmen's port.
**[16:41] ---**
The agreement between Lungmen
and Rhodes Island is over.
**[16:46] ---**
Whatever we do next has
nothing to do with you.
**[16:49] ---**
Isn't that right, Amiya?
**[16:52] ---**
Yes!
**[16:54] ---**
Mr. Wei, we won't concern ourselves
with your personal business.
**[16:59] ---**
But we will do everything in our power
to prevent this imminent tragedy.
**[17:04] ---**
Why would you go so far?
**[17:06] ---**
Because I believe that Lungmen,
your family, and Madame Ch'en
**[17:10] ---**
are worth enough for us
to execute this operation.
**[17:15] ---**
Miss Amiya...
**[17:16] ---**
I would like to ask for one thing.
**[17:19] ---**
We need you to promise that Lungmen
**[17:21] ---**
will never use force against
Rhodes Island in the future.
**[17:24] ---**
To trust you, we need a guarantee.
**[17:31] ---**
Very well.
**[17:32] ---**
Please help our daughters.
**[17:36] ---**
Yes!
**[17:38] ---**
We will bring them back.
**[17:41] ---**
Please wait for us.
**[17:52] ---**
Hoshiguma?
**[17:53] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[17:55] ---**
What about your injuries?
**[17:57] ---**
It was just a few scratches.
Nothing I can't handle.
**[18:01] ---**
I see.
**[18:04] ---**
That's a fantastic ride.
**[18:06] ---**
Is it the latest model from Rim Billiton?
**[18:09] ---**
I was thinking about getting one myself.
**[18:12] ---**
Sorry, I'm in a hurr—
**[18:14] ---**
There's an arrest warrant for you.
**[18:19] ---**
This is the only inconspicuous
route out of Lungmen.
**[18:25] ---**
So you're going to stop me too, huh?
**[18:27] ---**
Of course.
**[18:29] ---**
I can't very well let you continue playing
the hero and endangering yourself.
**[18:33] ---**
If you're my friend, then let me go!
**[18:36] ---**
Hoshiguma!
**[18:38] ---**
Then, just like old times,
pardon my bluntness.
**[18:43] ---**
Wha...?
**[18:49] ---**
Get over yourself already!
**[18:51] ---**
You're gonna save Lungmen all by yourself?
**[18:53] ---**
One woman against all of
Reunion? Is that what this is?!
**[18:56] ---**
There's not one person who wants to
see you send yourself to your death!
**[19:01] ---**
Lungmen needs you!
**[19:03] ---**
The Lungmen that's changing for the better!
**[19:06] ---**
Out of the way, Hoshiguma! There's
no other way to save Lungmen!
**[19:10] ---**
This isn't what you should be doing!
**[19:12] ---**
No one wants you putting yourself in danger!
**[19:17] ---**
There's another reason
why I can't stay anymore.
**[19:21] ---**
I'm an Infected.
**[19:24] ---**
What?
**[19:25] ---**
It happened on a mission three years ago.
**[19:27] ---**
Nine got infected on the same mission.
**[19:31] ---**
How come you didn't tell anyone...?
**[19:34] ---**
Wei ordered me not to.
**[19:36] ---**
I also chose to hide it and
remain a member of the L.G.D.
**[19:42] ---**
But I saw the truth of this city.
**[19:46] ---**
Nine did too, and she left for good.
**[19:50] ---**
There is no place for the Infected here.
**[19:53] ---**
You're Infected? I don't care!
**[19:57] ---**
Missy, Nine, and the L.G.D....
None of us care, I'm sure.
**[20:03] ---**
There's no reason for you to
shoulder a crime you didn't commit!
**[20:09] ---**
Still, I have to go.
**[20:12] ---**
Talulah... is my sister.
**[20:18] ---**
I see... So that's how it is...
**[20:23] ---**
So I guess the only way I can stop you...
**[20:26] ---**
is by giving you a good beating!
**[21:01] ---**
You little!
**[21:20] ---**
If Chief Wei's the bad guy here,
we can kick his ass together.
**[21:26] ---**
If there's something you want to do,
**[21:28] ---**
I can do it with you, whatever it is!
**[21:30] ---**
That's why...
**[21:34] ---**
Don't go, Ch'en!
**[21:40] ---**
Thank you, Hoshiguma.
**[21:50] ---**
You can be such an unreasonable princess...
**[22:10] ---**
You've always been part of this city!
**[22:13] ---**
But I'm not.
**[22:16] ---**
I'm not!
**[22:18] ---**
I'll never be able to forgive this city...
**[22:23] ---**
I've been running away from
my past the entire time.
**[22:26] ---**
And I'm sick of running!
**[22:28] ---**
Hoshiguma!
**[22:41] ---**
Go.
**[22:42] ---**
Before I change my mind.
**[22:53] ---**
If you come across a girl in the slums
who hands you a teddy bear, keep it.
**[23:00] ---**
It's Misha's.
**[23:02] ---**
Got it.
**[23:04] ---**
Sorry, I owe you one.
**[23:06] ---**
It's not like you to say that.
**[23:08] ---**
Now go, and don't look back.
**[23:11] ---**
Take care of yourself.
**[23:19] ---**
You can't forgive this city...?
**[23:23] ---**
How many people care about
this city as much as you do?
**[23:28] ---**
You stubborn... kind...
**[23:31] ---**
liar.

**[00:01] ---**
*...up... Wake up.*
**[00:05] ---**
*You've finally come to.*
**[00:09] ---**
*Thank goodness you woke up.*
**[00:12] ---**
*Can you talk?*
**[00:15] ---**
*Do you know who you are?*
**[00:17] ---**
*Do you remember your name?*
**[00:19] ---**
Why are you carrying W's gun?
**[00:23] ---**
Hey, that belonged to our fallen comrade.
**[00:26] ---**
Put that down, will you?
**[00:27] ---**
Beastshit.
Do that, and you can—
**[00:29] ---**
You've been waiting for me to turn my back.
**[00:32] ---**
Not a bad answer.
**[00:34] ---**
Very well. I'll let you join our squad.
**[00:38] ---**
Hold on, Hoederer!
**[00:39] ---**
According to the old ways, we'll give her a chance.
Hold on, Hoederer!
**[00:39] ---**
According to the old ways,
we'll give her a chance.
**[00:42] ---**
Now follow me, nameless Sarkaz.
**[00:45] ---**
You understand what it means to take
up the weapons of the fallen, yes?
**[00:50] ---**
Of course.
**[00:51] ---**
Good.
**[00:52] ---**
From today on, you'll be—
**[00:54] ---**
"W".
**[02:28] ---**
What's that?
**[02:29] ---**
A bounty list.
**[02:31] ---**
Your name's here, too.
**[02:33] ---**
"W, the old one..."
**[02:36] ---**
"Taken care of."
**[02:38] ---**
"New one is a problem.
10 candies, maybe more."
**[02:40] ---**
The candy's a codeword for payout.
**[02:42] ---**
That's the kinda price they
put on our heads, huh?
**[02:46] ---**
The bigger your name is,
the bigger the price...
**[02:49] ---**
This war gives us worth, and it
showed us a path of survival.
**[02:53] ---**
How sentimental.
**[02:54] ---**
You know this guy?
**[02:56] ---**
Yeah, sometimes you have to
take out a familiar face.
**[03:00] ---**
That's what it means to have
more candies on your head.
**[03:03] ---**
Hey, who's stronger? Me or the old one?
**[03:06] ---**
What?
**[03:08] ---**
Are you enjoying this? The war?
**[03:11] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:12] ---**
She's just like the old W.
**[03:15] ---**
That's quite the compliment.
**[03:17] ---**
The truth is she's doing pretty well.
**[03:18] ---**
But I'm not babysitting her.
**[03:21] ---**
You don't trust her?
**[03:23] ---**
There's nothing on her mind.
**[03:25] ---**
Not when she's lying, not when she's killing.
**[03:28] ---**
As a mercenary, she's—
**[03:28] ---**
Overqualified?
As a mercenary, she's—
**[03:29] ---**
Overqualified?
**[03:30] ---**
If this is a big mission, all
the more reason not to use her.
**[03:34] ---**
I'm working with the tools
I've got. That's all.
**[03:38] ---**
Us mercs have no home to return to.
**[03:40] ---**
We have to do whatever it takes to stand out
from the crowd and stake out our own position.
**[03:45] ---**
Maybe calm down a little.
Your shadow is trembling.
**[03:47] ---**
That's just the campfire flickering.
**[03:49] ---**
All you Sarkaz are like this...
always dodging the subject.
**[03:53] ---**
Alright, fine.
**[03:54] ---**
So? Who's our client?
**[03:56] ---**
I can't tell you.
**[03:58] ---**
Maybe you should try trusting your own team?
**[04:01] ---**
If you knew, you'd have to
carry the responsibility.
**[04:03] ---**
Hoederer,
If you knew, you'd have to carry the responsibility.
**[04:04] ---**
don't try to shoulder everything yourself.
**[04:07] ---**
In the end, we're all just mercenaries.
**[04:09] ---**
I'll keep that in mind.
**[04:10] ---**
I mean it. So?
**[04:13] ---**
The client's—
**[04:14] ---**
Babel.
**[04:15] ---**
The heck's this? A company?
**[04:16] ---**
Who knows.
**[04:17] ---**
I see. So he doesn't trust you either, huh?
**[04:21] ---**
Hmph. Trust, huh?
**[04:23] ---**
Just so you know, I've
never trusted you either.
**[04:29] ---**
You're after the candies on
Hoederer's head, aren't you?
**[04:31] ---**
Maybe.
**[04:32] ---**
His head's still attached
though. Had a change of heart?
**[04:35] ---**
I wonder.
**[04:37] ---**
So there's something you want.
**[04:38] ---**
No, it might not be a thing.
**[04:40] ---**
Stop.
**[04:41] ---**
You're shook.
**[04:43] ---**
Turns out you're actually quite honest.
**[04:44] ---**
None of your business. Now leave me—
**[04:49] ---**
That's Babel's...
**[04:50] ---**
What a bunch of high rollers.
**[04:52] ---**
Most of the convoy are dummies.
The main squad's not here, either.
**[04:54] ---**
So what? We're bait?
**[04:56] ---**
If that's how they use us.
**[04:59] ---**
Our mission's to guard the convoy!
**[05:01] ---**
We'll reach our destination in three days.
**[05:03] ---**
If you see anyone you can't identify, kill them on the spot!
No need for warnings!
**[05:06] ---**
That's all. Return to your positions!
**[05:08] ---**
That's harsh.
**[05:09] ---**
Who's going to attack us?
**[05:12] ---**
You scared?
**[05:13] ---**
Not a chance.
**[05:14] ---**
I'll be operating separately.
**[05:16] ---**
You two, get your act
together during the mission.
**[05:19] ---**
Ines, that's a breach of contract. Stop it.
**[05:21] ---**
The thing they're transporting...
**[05:23] ---**
That's a...
**[05:23] ---**
Ines.
**[05:24] ---**
How should I put it...
**[05:28] ---**
How are the comms?
**[05:29] ---**
No good. They're jammed.
**[05:31] ---**
Looks like we're the only ones who survived.
**[05:33] ---**
Well, thanks to that, it doesn't look
like the enemy's reached the main convoy.
**[05:37] ---**
I guess that was the extent of their intel.
**[05:41] ---**
We need to regroup with Hoederer's squad.
**[05:44] ---**
Our enemies are not your average mercs.
They're probably Kazdel's...
**[05:47] ---**
You were way overusing your Arts.
**[05:49] ---**
What does it matter?
**[05:51] ---**
With the way things are
going, we're boned anyway.
**[05:54] ---**
Choose.
**[05:55] ---**
The main convoy's location
or Hoederer's head.
**[05:58] ---**
Give me either of them, and I'll
give you a perfect stage to shine.
**[06:02] ---**
Well, that's kind of you.
**[06:03] ---**
The more tools we have on hand, the better.
**[06:05] ---**
Tools?
**[06:06] ---**
You mean disposable goods?
**[06:09] ---**
No thanks!
**[06:11] ---**
Don't let them get away!
**[06:13] ---**
Ines!
**[06:17] ---**
How foolish. Finish her.
**[06:34] ---**
There's no need to stand
on ceremony like that.
**[06:36] ---**
While you're on the landship,
you aren't in Kazdel.
**[06:39] ---**
Your Highness...
**[06:41] ---**
Come, let's sit down and talk, Hoederer.
**[06:44] ---**
I feel bad for him.
**[06:46] ---**
There are only monsters
in that room with him.
**[06:50] ---**
To think our clients are the ones at the
very center of Kazdel's succession conflict...
**[06:54] ---**
Her Highness Theresa and
her private organization.
**[06:57] ---**
So? We were carrying parts to their
under-construction base and got ambushed by an opposing group?
**[07:02] ---**
What's with this place?
**[07:04] ---**
It's not a normal ship.
I've never seen a structure like this before.
**[07:07] ---**
Hmm... The place looks
like it's falling apart.
**[07:10] ---**
Well, it doesn't matter to... ugh... me.
**[07:12] ---**
Stop it.
**[07:14] ---**
Heh, I gotta at least
look for an escape route.
**[07:22] ---**
You're awake. What a relief.
**[07:25] ---**
It's my fault that there were
more casualties than anticipated.
**[07:29] ---**
I apologize.
**[07:31] ---**
But the operation was a success.
You are an excellent mercenary.
**[07:35] ---**
We'll be counting on your help in the future.
**[07:37] ---**
For now, rest up and get better.
**[07:40] ---**
Now please excuse me.
**[07:44] ---**
Scary.
**[07:48] ---**
Come on! It'd save us lots of
time if we'd just buy new doors!
**[07:51] ---**
But we have so many wounded.
We don't have the manpower or budg—
**[07:55] ---**
Then give me three days! I'll
reassemble the whole system!
**[07:57] ---**
Can you do it?
**[07:58] ---**
'Course I can! Hell, I *will* !
**[08:00] ---**
If we have no clue how to use it, we just have to replace it
with something we *can* ! Easy peasy!
**[08:04] ---**
Well... I'll leave you to it then.
**[08:06] ---**
Roger that!
**[08:09] ---**
You were... W, right?
**[08:12] ---**
Your... Highness...
**[08:14] ---**
You may call me Theresa.
**[08:16] ---**
Your Highness... Theresa?
**[08:19] ---**
Um... Thanks for saving us.
**[08:22] ---**
I was so worried.
**[08:24] ---**
It's such a relief you came to.
**[08:26] ---**
Is the construction of
the ship not going well?
**[08:29] ---**
No, that's not quite it.
**[08:31] ---**
You see, this ship was actually
lying dormant underground.
**[08:34] ---**
We excavated all its parts and
are working on repairing it.
**[08:38] ---**
Rhodes Island.
**[08:40] ---**
That's this vessel's name,
hidden deep in the records.
**[08:44] ---**
I don't know what the Doctor
and Kal'tsit will think of it,
**[08:47] ---**
but I want to call it by
the name it already had.
**[08:50] ---**
People forget names all the
time... There's no point.
**[08:54] ---**
You don't have a true name, do you?
**[08:57] ---**
It's pretty common for
Sarkaz born in Kazdel—
**[09:02] ---**
I don't want to forget. Not you, not anyone.
**[09:06] ---**
No, I mustn't forget them.
**[09:09] ---**
In due course, when you
no longer need to be "W",
**[09:12] ---**
you'll definitely want one.
**[09:14] ---**
A name belonging to you and no one else.
**[09:16] ---**
Until then, you can stay
here as long as you want.
**[09:20] ---**
We will welcome you.
**[09:25] ---**
Um... Dr. Kal'tsit said it's
dangerous to go in there...
**[09:30] ---**
I'll be leaving soon.
**[09:32] ---**
Okay! Be careful.
**[09:39] ---**
What about the other Sarkaz?
**[09:41] ---**
Apparently, she's found what she wants to do.
**[09:43] ---**
I see.
**[09:45] ---**
Mercenaries who seek to be free spirits
always advocate for freedom and independence.
**[09:49] ---**
It's a shame.
**[09:51] ---**
You have done excellent work
over the past few months.
**[09:55] ---**
Undoubtedly, that which you seek is
what those Sarkaz warriors who lost their way yearn for.
**[10:01] ---**
It is a path you've chosen for yourself.
You must walk it to the very end.
**[10:06] ---**
I hope that works out for you.
**[10:08] ---**
Hey, Scout.
**[10:10] ---**
Hm?
**[10:10] ---**
Where's Theresa?
**[10:12] ---**
Running after Her Highness again, are you?
**[10:14] ---**
Hm?
**[10:15] ---**
What's that?
**[10:16] ---**
A little camera I yoinked
from the spies we caught.
**[10:19] ---**
Her face lit up when I
told her she could stay.
**[10:23] ---**
What an ingrate.
**[10:27] ---**
Say,
**[10:28] ---**
did you feel anything from the people there?
**[10:30] ---**
Well, Her Highness is sorrowful,
but she's a very warm person.
**[10:36] ---**
So much so that it's hard to believe she's
at the center of this cruel civil war.
**[10:40] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit had a cold, mechanical
feel to her, like a machine...
**[10:44] ---**
but she never once called us Sarkaz "devils".
**[10:47] ---**
She sees us all as equals.
**[10:50] ---**
As for the Doctor... Right.
**[10:52] ---**
To draw an analogy, like a chess player.
**[10:55] ---**
All the soldiers are nothing but pawns.
**[10:59] ---**
And it seemed like Her Highness and the others
were turning a blind eye to that.
**[11:03] ---**
The Doctor practically runs the whole war.
**[11:07] ---**
I said this to W too, but things may
be starting to change within Babel.
**[11:13] ---**
Leaving might be the right call.
**[11:24] ---**
We all made the right call,
including that Babel commander.
**[11:30] ---**
Her head alone ended the war.
**[11:33] ---**
You hunted my entire team
down and silenced us forever.
**[11:37] ---**
Just as His Highness Theresis wanted.
**[11:40] ---**
Theresa is the only one who
deserve to be called "Highness".
**[11:43] ---**
Theresa...
**[11:45] ---**
We stained our hands with her blood...
**[11:49] ---**
But even then... Up until
the very end, she...
**[11:54] ---**
I... I...
**[12:07] ---**
Long time no see.
**[12:09] ---**
Yeah, it's been almost half a year.
**[12:12] ---**
This is where we first met.
**[12:15] ---**
Were you feeling nostalgic?
**[12:17] ---**
Hell no. My last target
just happened to be here.
**[12:21] ---**
What's this about?
**[12:22] ---**
The Regent Theresis has called
up all the remaining mercenaries.
**[12:26] ---**
They'll probably be joined
into a standing army soon.
**[12:29] ---**
So everyone's gonna buddy up
to Theresis and follow him?
**[12:32] ---**
Most Sarkaz have given up on even thinking.
**[12:36] ---**
So how was it, with those horns of yours?
**[12:38] ---**
What?
**[12:39] ---**
I'm asking how it felt when you carved
your horns to look all Sarkazy.
**[12:43] ---**
Did it hurt? Was there any blood?
**[12:46] ---**
No.
**[12:47] ---**
Right, you're different.
**[12:49] ---**
Keep playing the Sarkaz and
you'll get yourself killed.
**[12:52] ---**
I decided to go down this path, and it's
the only one I can follow at this point.
**[12:57] ---**
W, standing up against the
Regent is a death sentence.
**[13:01] ---**
Just do what you gotta do, then.
You came here for that, didn't you?
**[13:04] ---**
Slow down.
**[13:05] ---**
We're headed to Ursus.
**[13:07] ---**
Oh?
**[13:09] ---**
There's an Infected group in Northern Ursus,
and they're paying top dollar for Kazdelian mercs.
**[13:16] ---**
Sounds like the Regent is
trying to make use of them.
**[13:18] ---**
So you're saying we can slip out of Kazdel
by claiming to join that organization?
**[13:22] ---**
And they're a gathering of the oppressed.
**[13:25] ---**
Could even serve as a good
roadmap for the Sarkaz.
**[13:28] ---**
What do you say? Are you coming, too?
**[13:30] ---**
Right... both the monster with the
mask and the old hag are gone.
**[13:34] ---**
There's jack shit keeping me in Kazdel.
**[13:37] ---**
Alright.
**[13:38] ---**
But I'm gonna do what I wanna do.
**[13:40] ---**
I'll make my own choices.
**[13:42] ---**
As long as you follow your minders' orders.
**[13:45] ---**
Welcome back, "W".
**[13:49] ---**
What are you doing out here?!
**[13:52] ---**
I'm enjoying the Catastrophe!
**[13:54] ---**
Get your ass back here right now!
**[13:55] ---**
I can't hear you!
Get your ass back here right now!
**[13:57] ---**
I'm not upset.
**[14:00] ---**
She's always been a lunatic,
**[14:02] ---**
but now she's practically a
Catastrophe in human form.
**[14:05] ---**
She also seems calmer than before.
**[14:08] ---**
I'm really not sure anymore.
**[14:10] ---**
I didn't know you were that fond of her.
**[14:12] ---**
It doesn't look like she wants to talk
about what happened at Babel, either.
**[14:16] ---**
So you won't force it out of her, then?
**[14:18] ---**
That's for the better.
**[14:20] ---**
Yeah, we'll keep things the way they are.
**[14:22] ---**
Well, aren't you in a good mood.
**[14:24] ---**
You almost got us killed in that Catastrophe.
**[14:27] ---**
Do you know what the biggest
perk of being a lunatic is?
**[14:29] ---**
Huh?
**[14:30] ---**
You can do all kinds of crazy shit
and no one will question you.
**[14:33] ---**
Heh, we're just following you, Boss.
**[14:37] ---**
So, that "Rhodes Island" ship's
already left Kazdel, right?
**[14:41] ---**
All we know is that there's no
sign it's been taken by Theresis.
**[14:45] ---**
Good enough for me.
**[14:48] ---**
Welcome, warriors from afar.
**[14:52] ---**
We're honored to have you here.
**[14:54] ---**
What? She reminds you of Theresa?
**[14:56] ---**
In terms of emotions.
**[14:58] ---**
Although unlike Her Highness's deep sorrow,
hers feels more like a fierce wrath...
**[15:01] ---**
Pardon... my intrusion.
**[15:05] ---**
I would like to, ask you.
**[15:08] ---**
About what has become of Kazdel.
**[15:10] ---**
You're a Sarkaz, too.
**[15:12] ---**
Not only that...
**[15:13] ---**
A Wendigo, if I'm not mistaken.
**[15:15] ---**
That ancient race...
**[15:16] ---**
Correct.
**[15:17] ---**
Well, who gives a crap
about Kazdel at this poi—
**[15:19] ---**
Theresa...
**[15:21] ---**
She left with you, proof, that she lived.
**[15:27] ---**
In the past, my race, exiled
ourselves from Kazdel.
**[15:32] ---**
But I, am still Sarkaz.
**[15:35] ---**
That has not changed, even now.
**[15:38] ---**
I want to know, the truth.
**[15:41] ---**
What happened to my people, my homeland.
**[15:49] ---**
We'll go check on Amiya and Dobermann.
**[15:52] ---**
Got it.
**[15:53] ---**
Let's go.
**[15:56] ---**
You can come out now.
**[15:58] ---**
How cruel. I haven't seen Ace for
three years either, you know.
**[16:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[16:02] ---**
So? What's this about a deal?
**[16:04] ---**
I want you to let the Doctor get out safely.
**[16:07] ---**
The Doctor?
**[16:09] ---**
You'll owe me big time.
**[16:11] ---**
What did you give up other than my life?
**[16:13] ---**
Whatever.
**[16:14] ---**
Tell me your real name
before you go, comrade.
**[16:18] ---**
It's Scout.
**[16:20] ---**
All mercs use codenames, don't they?
**[16:22] ---**
Right, Garcin?
**[16:24] ---**
Warrior of Rhodes Island!
**[16:26] ---**
Name yourself!
**[16:28] ---**
The name's Ace!
**[16:30] ---**
Rhodes Island Elite Operator Ace!
**[16:33] ---**
Garcin was the minder sent by Theresis.
**[16:36] ---**
Now W's the leader of the mercenaries.
**[16:38] ---**
Well, isn't that swell.
**[16:39] ---**
Your team has been eliminated.
Down to the last man.
**[16:43] ---**
That's all the time you're
buying for the Doctor's rescue.
**[16:46] ---**
So you knew my entire team, huh?
**[16:49] ---**
"It'd be a pain if you killed the
wrong person." That's what she said.
**[16:53] ---**
Never thought W would
care about others' names.
**[16:56] ---**
I thought she would finish me herself.
**[16:58] ---**
She might not have the
heart to do it herself.
**[17:00] ---**
Either way, though—
**[17:03] ---**
A Sarkaz?
**[17:05] ---**
Talulah?!
**[17:06] ---**
There are... two shadows?
**[17:10] ---**
Ah, so your name's Amiya. Well, whatever.
**[17:13] ---**
I got what I came for.
**[17:18] ---**
I never cared about the
little bunny's name before.
**[17:21] ---**
I wanted to let you go, too.
**[17:24] ---**
I'm sorry. Sleep now, old friend.
**[17:27] ---**
Hoederer.
**[17:28] ---**
We Sarkaz shouldn't be letting
others to continue to use us.
**[17:31] ---**
You shouldn't stay here.
**[17:34] ---**
Use those eyes of yours to see the truth,
and don't die in vain before you do.
**[17:38] ---**
Tell W that, too.
**[17:40] ---**
Got it.
**[17:43] ---**
Why?!
**[17:44] ---**
Scout!
**[17:46] ---**
Warrior of Rhodes Island!
**[17:48] ---**
Do you hear me?!
**[17:51] ---**
*It's just like three years ago, you say?!*
**[17:54] ---**
*But it's nothing like Theresa.*
**[17:56] ---**
*Talulah is trying to dismantle
the very tower she built!*
**[17:59] ---**
*You used your Arts on Talulah?!*
**[18:01] ---**
*We have to tell W!*
**[18:02] ---**
*Wait, Ines!*
**[18:08] ---**
You let the deserters escape, didn't you?
**[18:11] ---**
Who knows?
**[18:12] ---**
Reunion is keeping a closer eye on us now.
**[18:15] ---**
I'll go before the Regent and
report what happened to Garcin.
**[18:18] ---**
Are you that eager to
reunite with Ines in death?
**[18:20] ---**
Of course not.
**[18:22] ---**
She wanted to warn you about something.
**[18:26] ---**
*There were two shadows.*
**[18:28] ---**
*And something's wrong with Talulah.*
**[18:30] ---**
So you didn't need Misha to
activate the city after all.
**[18:34] ---**
I can activate it easily, but
stopping it is a different matter.
**[18:37] ---**
Misha's father, Sergei, gave
her the key needed to stop it.
**[18:42] ---**
And without her ever knowing.
**[18:44] ---**
The key was a means to ensure our success.
**[18:48] ---**
Until I screwed up and lost it, right?
**[18:50] ---**
It's not your fault.
**[18:52] ---**
Oh, how kind of you.
**[18:53] ---**
So was that the only key, then?
**[18:55] ---**
Not quite. The mayor of Chernobog,
Count Boris, also held one.
**[18:59] ---**
Oh, that geezer Mephisto burned to
a crisp back at the abandoned city.
**[19:02] ---**
Did the key go up in flames, too?
**[19:04] ---**
It's been recovered and safekept by Patriot.
**[19:06] ---**
Have I earned at least a modicum
of your trust with this?
**[19:10] ---**
After all, we must support each other.
**[19:12] ---**
Really now?
**[19:13] ---**
Of course. I mean it.
**[19:21] ---**
W...
**[19:22] ---**
You pitiful, treacherous insect.
**[19:25] ---**
My flames have already found your wings.
**[19:28] ---**
You will pay for your betrayal.
**[19:31] ---**
What's with that tone of voice?
**[19:33] ---**
Are you really Talulah?
**[19:35] ---**
Creepy.
**[19:38] ---**
No way...
**[19:39] ---**
Were the toys you hid under
the floor your trump card?
**[19:47] ---**
Where did she...
**[19:49] ---**
You want to stop the collision with
Lungmen, don't you, Sarkaz girl?
**[19:52] ---**
Try "devil".
**[19:54] ---**
You wish to be called a racial slur?
**[19:56] ---**
Everyone calls us that 'cause
we scare you, so I welcome it.
**[20:01] ---**
You wanted to save your fellow Sarkaz.
**[20:04] ---**
What a lovely little devil you are.
**[20:06] ---**
Will I be the first one you
skewer alive with that sword?
**[20:10] ---**
You're the second.
**[20:11] ---**
Well, that sucks.
**[20:13] ---**
I ain't got a clue what number you would be.
**[20:19] ---**
Yelena...
**[20:27] ---**
Do you know what it means to take
up the blade of a fallen Sarkaz?
**[20:31] ---**
Shut up, you devil!
**[20:32] ---**
You tricked him, didn't you?!
**[20:33] ---**
That hospital's the only place with drugs
that can stop the onset of Oripathy.
**[20:37] ---**
Then what's taking... so long...?
**[20:40] ---**
I dug him out of the rubble and saved him.
**[20:43] ---**
If I'm not there for him, he...
**[20:45] ---**
He... Did he run away?
**[20:47] ---**
You won't know for sure until he gets back.
Not like you ever trusted him, though.
**[20:52] ---**
Huh?
**[20:53] ---**
Seems to me you looked
down on him quite a bit.
**[20:55] ---**
That's not—
**[20:56] ---**
You don't even know his name.
**[20:59] ---**
Let me know if you can't deal with the pain.
**[21:02] ---**
I'll give you an easy way out.
**[21:03] ---**
If you don't want that, endure it.
**[21:06] ---**
You saved him, so he wants to
save you. It's that simple.
**[21:09] ---**
It's got nothing to do
with status or lineage.
**[21:12] ---**
Keep that blade. I'll stand in
for its owner and say it's yours.
**[21:17] ---**
Rublev!
**[21:18] ---**
I did it! Look, a medical kit!
**[21:20] ---**
You got hurt...
**[21:22] ---**
I'm okay! Here, let me bandage your wound...
**[21:25] ---**
Say, um... What's... your name?
**[21:28] ---**
What are you laughing at?
**[21:29] ---**
You finally asked.
**[21:30] ---**
My name's Andrey.
**[21:32] ---**
Thanks, Andrey.
**[21:35] ---**
Huh?
**[21:36] ---**
Where's that Sarkaz?
**[21:39] ---**
You had some potential... as
the opening act of a farce.
**[21:44] ---**
Hey, Hoederer.
**[21:46] ---**
You said this war is what gives us worth...
**[21:49] ---**
W, you want to...
**[21:52] ---**
But from now on, we're going to
decide our worth for ourselves.
**[21:56] ---**
...liberate the Sarkaz?
**[22:00] ---**
Is that so weird?
**[22:03] ---**
It's not weird, is it?

**[00:03] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[00:05] ---**
Why?
**[00:07] ---**
Hui-chieh!
**[00:09] ---**
Hui-chieh!
**[00:09] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[00:17] ---**
Your return gives me great peace of mind.
**[00:19] ---**
Mr. Patriot.
**[00:21] ---**
What happened?
**[00:24] ---**
W betrayed us.
**[00:26] ---**
You needn't worry. I've
already dealt with her.
**[00:30] ---**
I will take over the Sarkaz
mercenaries she was in charge of.
**[00:34] ---**
W...
**[00:36] ---**
Leader.
**[00:38] ---**
This core city, was activated.
Without my knowing. Why?
**[00:44] ---**
I apologize.
**[00:46] ---**
The situation was pressing.
There was no time to hesitate.
**[00:49] ---**
Talulah.
**[00:50] ---**
Many things, once started. Will not stop.
**[00:55] ---**
That's why I'm entrusting this key to you.
**[00:59] ---**
I want you to decide whether we should stop.
**[01:04] ---**
Understood.
**[01:06] ---**
No one. Can stop us.
**[01:09] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[01:12] ---**
FrostNova and the others
need our help in Lungmen.
**[01:14] ---**
Let's regroup with them.
**[01:17] ---**
Talulah.
**[01:19] ---**
All sins, no matter how great.
**[01:22] ---**
Must always come, to an end.
**[01:26] ---**
This, I firmly believe.
**[01:29] ---**
I share the same conviction.
**[01:32] ---**
Farewell, Leader.
**[01:37] ---**
It'll keep me safe?
**[01:39] ---**
This rock?
**[01:40] ---**
That's just a superstition... Fine, fine.
**[01:44] ---**
I'll hang onto it.
**[01:46] ---**
I'm obviously going to outlive you.
**[01:48] ---**
You should try to live a long,
fulfilling life yourself.
**[01:52] ---**
My talisman. It has broken.
**[01:56] ---**
Help, who?
**[01:59] ---**
End, what?
**[03:33] ---**
"The last Wendigo will die at the
hands of the Lord of Fiends?"
**[03:37] ---**
You know what I'm talking about, right?
**[03:39] ---**
Prophecies? You believe in such nonsense?
**[03:43] ---**
It's about her and the old fossil.
**[03:46] ---**
He's one of the last of an
ancient Sarkaz bloodline.
**[03:49] ---**
I remember him well, but I—
**[03:52] ---**
Please, Kal'tsit.
**[03:56] ---**
Very well.
**[03:57] ---**
You seem to have forgotten, Warfarin.
Thank—
**[03:58] ---**
You seem to have forgotten, Warfarin.
**[04:01] ---**
Do not speak of the "Lord
of Fiends" ever again.
**[04:06] ---**
Red, look after the place.
**[04:08] ---**
Okay.
**[04:13] ---**
Now that I know what Ch'en's put up with...
**[04:16] ---**
And what she's worked so hard
to protect, I get it now.
**[04:20] ---**
She feels the same way as we do.
**[04:23] ---**
I promised Ms. Fumizuki
that we'd bring her back.
**[04:27] ---**
Yeah, I made a promise, too.
**[04:31] ---**
That I'd save Talulah.
**[04:34] ---**
If there's anything I can do
to stop the birth of new sorrow in this land,
**[04:38] ---**
I will do it.
**[04:41] ---**
Let's stop this collision.
**[04:43] ---**
Yes!
**[04:45] ---**
*Good morning, everyone.*
**[04:47] ---**
*This is Amiya, leader of Rhodes Island.*
**[04:50] ---**
*I have some important information
to report to all our operators.*
**[04:53] ---**
As we announced last night,
squads consisting of specially
**[04:57] ---**
selected operators will
sortie to stop Reunion.
**[05:00] ---**
**This will undoubtedly be a tough battle,**
**[05:01] ---**
*and if we fail this mission,
a war will break out.**
**[05:06] ---**
**If that happens, no matter what conspiracy lies behind Reunion,**
**[05:10] ---**
*there will be only one truth
laid grimly at our feet.**
**[05:13] ---**
**"The Infected caused this war."**
**[05:16] ---**
**War... may sound like a concept that**
**[05:19] ---**
*has nothing to do
with a pharmaceutical company like us.**
**[05:22] ---**
**However, Rhodes Island
has already found itself**
**[05:24] ---**
*n the vortex of an invisible war.**
**[05:27] ---**
**Since our foundation, we have worked
to develop a cure for Oripathy.**
**[05:32] ---**
**However, there are also those
who continue to profit from and**
**[05:36] ---**
*exacerbate the antipathy between
Infected and non-Infected**
**[05:39] ---**
**At this point, our enemy is no
longer just Oripathy itself.**
**[05:42] ---**
**After a war between Ursus and Yan,**
**[05:45] ---**
*most likely all that awaits the
Infected is never-ending hatred.**
**[05:49] ---**
**In that future, when neither
Oripathy treatment nor coexistence**
**[05:52] ---**
*with the Infected are tolerated, Rhodes
Island will lose its very purpose.**
**[05:56] ---**
**We must succeed in this mission at all costs.**
**[05:59] ---**
**I'd also like to ask those who will remain**
**[06:02] ---**
*onboard to maintain our normal operations.**
**[06:06] ---**
**Regardless of whether we make it back alive,**
**[06:08] ---**
Amiya!
*Regardless of whether we make it back alive,*
**[06:09] ---**
You *will* make it back!
**[06:10] ---**
**please ensure that Rhodes Island**
**[06:12] ---**
*will go on to save as many lives as we can.*
**[06:15] ---**
That is all.
**[06:18] ---**
You can't go.
**[06:20] ---**
Why not? Blaze, you're acting all weird.
**[06:23] ---**
You just can't! This isn't like
the missions you went on—
**[06:26] ---**
Because I might die?
**[06:29] ---**
You can't just come out and say it like that!
**[06:31] ---**
Ace and Scout are both dead, right?
**[06:34] ---**
I want to go and find out
what happened to them.
**[06:38] ---**
You can let go of those memories
and don't look back—
**[06:41] ---**
Er... No, I didn't mean it like that...
**[06:45] ---**
Sorry. Even painful memories
are important, right?
**[06:50] ---**
If I don't look... they're forgotten, no?
**[06:53] ---**
I want to remember everybody.
**[06:56] ---**
Even if they're dead, I'll never forget them.
**[07:00] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[07:01] ---**
We're elite operators.
**[07:04] ---**
Rosmontis, come back safe.
**[07:08] ---**
Right. I will.
**[07:10] ---**
Are we really bringing her?
**[07:12] ---**
You've read about her accomplishments.
**[07:14] ---**
I know I'm contradicting myself,
but she's way too young.
**[07:18] ---**
I have my reasons.
**[07:21] ---**
To think you'd one day be so worried...
**[07:24] ---**
Huh?
**[07:25] ---**
You won the battle in the Lungmen sub-layer.
**[07:27] ---**
I wouldn't call that a victory.
**[07:29] ---**
You brought the enemy commander back to—
**[07:31] ---**
She wasn't an enemy!
**[07:33] ---**
Doctor, distinguish your
enemies from your allies.
**[07:36] ---**
No, I don't intend to
criticize your judgment.
**[07:39] ---**
You attempted to understand
the enemy's motives
**[07:42] ---**
and bear the consequences of that.
**[07:44] ---**
So long as you face what's occurring
in these lands with sincerity,
**[07:47] ---**
I will respect your judgment.
**[07:51] ---**
Regardless of the result, I will bear
the responsibility along with you.
**[07:54] ---**
Your powers and responsibilities
complement one another.
**[07:59] ---**
And as the commander, it rests on you
to determine between friend and foe.
**[08:04] ---**
This has nothing to do with your memories.
**[08:06] ---**
I will respect the judgment
of who you are currently.
**[08:09] ---**
Sorry for the wait!
**[08:10] ---**
Great speech.
**[08:12] ---**
That was wonderful.
**[08:14] ---**
Thank you!
**[08:18] ---**
"Contradicting myself," huh?
**[08:18] ---**
Thank you very much!
"Contradicting myself," huh?
**[08:19] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[08:20] ---**
What sets them apart to you?
**[08:23] ---**
Okay, let's get started.
**[08:25] ---**
The three of us will take command
of this operation together.
**[08:29] ---**
With the data we got from the Azazel Clinic,
**[08:31] ---**
we have a complete picture
of the city's structure,
**[08:33] ---**
but due to the Catastrophe, we
are having trouble with comms.
**[08:36] ---**
As such, Captain Raidian's
Arts and recon squad
**[08:38] ---**
will be the focal point for our comms.
**[08:41] ---**
When you add Captain Mantra's
Special Operations team
**[08:44] ---**
and our three combat teams,
**[08:46] ---**
there will be a total of
five teams on this mission.
**[08:48] ---**
We'll enter through the maintenance
hatches on the city's sides.
**[08:52] ---**
As we approach the city,
**[08:53] ---**
the airborne decoy squad
will create a distraction
**[08:56] ---**
as we deploy camouflage on the ground.
**[08:58] ---**
The frame's camouflaged.
**[09:01] ---**
Start the ventilation!
**[09:03] ---**
The core city was basically
designed as a warship...
**[09:06] ---**
It's the very embodiment of Ursus's violence.
**[09:09] ---**
Not all its citizens are like that.
**[09:11] ---**
As long as they support the
war, it's no different.
**[09:14] ---**
Sorry, I'm still haunted by my
hometown being burned to the ground.
**[09:18] ---**
Firewatch, I never had
the chance to save you...
**[09:22] ---**
*Reunion reconnaissance approaching.*
**[09:24] ---**
*We're counting on you!*
**[09:26] ---**
But now, I shall fight alongside you.
**[09:28] ---**
Until they've successfully
infiltrated, let us hold this area.
**[09:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:33] ---**
*We're entering the sandstorm!*
**[09:35] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[09:38] ---**
Whoa, so bright!
**[09:40] ---**
I didn't know the Radiant
Knight could do that!
**[09:43] ---**
Right, Captain Mantra?
**[09:45] ---**
Amazing... It's so clear even
though we're in a sandstorm!
**[09:49] ---**
I can only camouflage you
for a minute at most! Hurry!
**[09:52] ---**
Roger! All units, begin to infiltrate!
**[10:01] ---**
Am I really going in like this...?
**[10:03] ---**
We don't have the time for
you to learn to use one.
**[10:07] ---**
Wasn't your talent cooking instant
ramen directly in your mouth? Then—
**[10:10] ---**
Wait, what?
**[10:12] ---**
Shut up and bear with it. Now go.
**[10:13] ---**
H-Hold on!
**[10:16] ---**
It was a joke.
**[10:17] ---**
What do you think? Aren't
I a natural at this?
**[10:19] ---**
Huh?
**[10:20] ---**
Are you afraid of heights?
**[10:21] ---**
I told you to draw their attention,
not to show off your stunt flying...
**[10:25] ---**
*This is Amiya!*
**[10:26] ---**
*All teams have successfully infiltrated!*
**[10:29] ---**
Roger. We'll be heading back now.
**[10:33] ---**
Amiya,
**[10:34] ---**
Rhodes Island needs you.
**[10:37] ---**
*Make sure everyone comes back alive.*
**[10:39] ---**
I pray for your success.
**[10:40] ---**
*Right!*
**[10:42] ---**
I'm glad to see you've returned safely.
**[10:43] ---**
"Safely"?
**[10:44] ---**
So many of our comrades died back there!
**[10:47] ---**
FrostNova, the Yeti Squad, and even Faust!
**[10:50] ---**
I see.
**[10:51] ---**
The situation in Lungmen was
nothing like we planned for.
**[10:55] ---**
Even here in this core city...
**[10:57] ---**
Comms between Reunion
members are being jammed!
**[10:59] ---**
Hey, watch your mouth!
Comms between Reunion members are being jammed!
**[11:00] ---**
What is going on—
Hey, watch your mouth!
**[11:00] ---**
What is going on—
**[11:01] ---**
Where's Patriot?!
You...!
**[11:02] ---**
Where's Patriot?!
**[11:03] ---**
This makes no sense!
**[11:04] ---**
Watch your mouth!
This makes no sense!
**[11:04] ---**
Watch your mouth!
**[11:05] ---**
Reunion will never forget Faust.
**[11:09] ---**
We will avenge our comrades.
**[11:13] ---**
Mephisto will need to rest.
**[11:15] ---**
The rest of you as well.
**[11:18] ---**
Take them to the camp.
**[11:19] ---**
Yes ma'am.
**[11:24] ---**
Isolate them from the other squads.
**[11:27] ---**
Forever.
**[11:28] ---**
*Who are you?!*
**[11:31] ---**
Who... am I?
**[11:34] ---**
*What do you want?*
**[11:36] ---**
What do I...
**[11:38] ---**
*Fight for... myself?*
**[11:41] ---**
Fight...?
**[11:44] ---**
Ahh, the proud Ursines.
**[11:48] ---**
And to think you two were meant
to be the last ones standing.
**[11:59] ---**
*We've confirmed the situation.*
**[12:02] ---**
*Mantra Squad, investigate how
the enemy is communicating.*
**[12:04] ---**
*Raidian Squad, maintain our communications
and continue reconnaissance.*
**[12:08] ---**
*All teams, move out.*
**[12:11] ---**
Raidian and Mantra... All the
elite operators are my family.
**[12:16] ---**
Family...
**[12:18] ---**
But I know I'm not supposed
to think of them like that.
**[12:21] ---**
Do you know Ace and Scout, Doctor?
**[12:25] ---**
I've met Ace.
**[12:27] ---**
I haven't seen either of them for days.
**[12:30] ---**
Huh?
**[12:31] ---**
Maybe they've gone somewhere...
**[12:33] ---**
Rosmontis, they're both already—
**[12:35] ---**
It's as I expected.
**[12:38] ---**
The city's comm networks have
been purposefully cut off.
**[12:41] ---**
But the Originium disrupting the
signals has been left standing.
**[12:44] ---**
Talulah is attempting to
fracture the organization.
**[12:47] ---**
That makes it harder to read their movements.
**[12:50] ---**
Deploy more scouts.
**[12:51] ---**
Okay.
**[12:52] ---**
Lavaca.
**[12:53] ---**
Yes!
Lavaca.
**[12:53] ---**
Bluishsilver.
**[12:54] ---**
Yes.
Bluishsilver.
**[12:55] ---**
Have your team take a detour
through the sub-route.
**[12:58] ---**
Roger!
**[13:01] ---**
What's this...? I think I can feel something.
**[13:04] ---**
You're right. It's faint... but this
place is covered in the smell of death.
**[13:09] ---**
An ancient Sarkaz ritual?
**[13:11] ---**
Yes, and not many are capable of this.
**[13:13] ---**
Only a pure-blooded Wendigo.
**[13:16] ---**
So he really is here?
**[13:19] ---**
Let's move.
**[13:21] ---**
Get in formation.
**[13:28] ---**
There's no doubt about it.
**[13:30] ---**
This is Madame Ch'en's.
**[13:32] ---**
Let's hurr—
**[13:33] ---**
Leave Ursus right now, you Infected!
Let's hurr—
**[13:33] ---**
Leave Ursus right now, you Infected!
**[13:36] ---**
Please, calm down!
**[13:37] ---**
We're a neutral medical organization!
**[13:40] ---**
We have supplies that can suppress the—
**[13:41] ---**
Shut up! I'm not an Infected!
We have supplies that can suppress the—
**[13:42] ---**
Shut up! I'm not an Infected!
**[13:45] ---**
I'm a citizen of Ursus!
**[13:47] ---**
I... Why am I...
**[13:49] ---**
All the Infected should just die!
She's in distress. Let her vent.
**[13:53] ---**
You were sent by the government,
right?! It's too late—
**[13:55] ---**
If they really were, they
would've killed you already.
**[13:58] ---**
That voice!
**[14:00] ---**
Guard?!
**[14:01] ---**
You're safe!
**[14:03] ---**
It's been a while.
**[14:05] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[14:06] ---**
"As long as you survive,
you'll meet them again..."
**[14:08] ---**
It really happened.
**[14:09] ---**
Explain your clothes.
**[14:11] ---**
I will, but give me a minute.
**[14:14] ---**
Tatiana, go back insid—
**[14:15] ---**
Shut up, Reunion!
**[14:17] ---**
Patriot's troops have pulled out of the area.
You're murderers!
**[14:21] ---**
Patriot?
It's dangerous outside.
**[14:23] ---**
He's just a hypocrite!
**[14:24] ---**
They—
**[14:25] ---**
They let the rest of them wreck the town!
**[14:28] ---**
You're wrong!
**[14:30] ---**
A Sarkaz patrol is going to
pass through the area soon!
**[14:32] ---**
You should all hide in the warehouse...
**[14:34] ---**
Calm down!
Am I supposed to buy into their beastshit?!
**[14:36] ---**
Please, just keep quiet.
Liars! Why don't you just die?!
**[14:37] ---**
Kill yourse—
**[14:40] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit?!
**[14:41] ---**
Has he done anything to harm any civilians?
**[14:45] ---**
He's a deserter. I will deal with him
in accordance with your response.
**[14:49] ---**
Wh-Why me?
**[14:50] ---**
The enemy is getting close.
**[14:52] ---**
Did he hurt you?
**[14:54] ---**
Um, err...
**[14:55] ---**
Thirty-five meters.
**[14:57] ---**
You need... to hide!
**[14:58] ---**
The answer comes first.
**[15:00] ---**
Twenty-eight meters.
**[15:01] ---**
Well...
**[15:02] ---**
Twenty-three.
**[15:03] ---**
Mon3tr.
**[15:05] ---**
Twenty-two.
**[15:07] ---**
Twenty-one.
**[15:09] ---**
He didn't...
**[15:11] ---**
He didn't do anything wrong...
**[15:16] ---**
That was some convincing acting...
**[15:18] ---**
It *was* acting, right?
**[15:20] ---**
Consider it a form of psychological care.
**[15:22] ---**
You should be feeling a lot less pain now.
**[15:24] ---**
Thanks...
**[15:26] ---**
I thought maybe he was working
with the other Reunion people.
**[15:30] ---**
Sorry.
**[15:32] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[15:33] ---**
More importantly... To think you'd
be here on the frontlines...
**[15:37] ---**
Guard, she—
**[15:38] ---**
I'm here for a mission.
**[15:40] ---**
And to get revenge. For hurting my family.
**[15:44] ---**
That's why I'm here.
**[15:46] ---**
I see...
**[15:48] ---**
Sorry, forget I asked.
**[15:50] ---**
Everything has a reason.
**[15:52] ---**
Much like how you didn't return to us.
**[15:55] ---**
Right.
**[15:56] ---**
The only reason the citizens
here are still alive
**[15:59] ---**
is thanks to Patriot and his guerrillas.
**[16:02] ---**
I'm helping out, too.
**[16:04] ---**
He knew I was with Rhodes Island,
but was going to let me go.
**[16:08] ---**
But I decided to stay by my own will...
to see how things would turn out.
**[16:14] ---**
He respected Scout, who died to protect me.
**[16:19] ---**
He died?
**[16:21] ---**
"An old man with white hair brought
a charred, blackened object."
**[16:26] ---**
"It was Scout's."
**[16:28] ---**
"Scout is gone."
**[16:30] ---**
Rosmontis!
"Scout is..."
**[16:32] ---**
I wrote it... I wrote it all down, but I...!
**[16:35] ---**
Ace... Ace is also...
**[16:37] ---**
Let's get some fresh air.
**[16:38] ---**
Why did I forget?
Let's get some fresh air.
**[16:40] ---**
Why?!
**[16:41] ---**
Everyone, I'm extending our short rest.
**[16:45] ---**
Calm down. Close your eyes.
**[16:48] ---**
Doctor.
**[16:50] ---**
Scout left a message for you.
**[16:53] ---**
A message? For me?
**[16:55] ---**
He said, "I'll never forget even a second of the time
we spent fighting together."
**[17:02] ---**
But...
**[17:04] ---**
He also said you should stay
away from the battlefield.
**[17:07] ---**
Eh?
**[17:08] ---**
"If the flames of war and
slaughter change the Doctor..."
**[17:13] ---**
No...
**[17:14] ---**
The way you are now, you probably
can't just sit by and watch.
**[17:19] ---**
Right.
**[17:19] ---**
Both Scout and Captain Ace
had very strong convictions.
**[17:23] ---**
I'm only here now because two elite
operators gave up their lives.
**[17:28] ---**
That's why, this time, I want to stay
and see Patriot's convictions through.
**[17:32] ---**
Guard, our situation is a
little different than before,
**[17:36] ---**
but our conviction to save
people has not changed.
**[17:39] ---**
Amiya...
**[17:40] ---**
So as long as Patriot stands,
their organization will endure?
**[17:43] ---**
Yes, he's the last remaining
pillar of their sanity.
**[17:47] ---**
Even if Talulah has betrayed him?
**[17:50] ---**
Huh?
**[17:51] ---**
Identification code?! Collision course?!
**[17:55] ---**
That doesn't make any sense!
**[17:57] ---**
Don't tell me... the reason
we can't use the comms...
**[17:59] ---**
It's all part of Talulah's plan.
**[18:01] ---**
Does Rhodes Island consider Patriot an enemy?
**[18:04] ---**
We will try to talk to him.
**[18:07] ---**
I'll go tell him what's going on!
**[18:10] ---**
I can't let you two end up fighting!
**[18:12] ---**
Please do!
**[18:14] ---**
Buldrokkas'tee.
**[18:15] ---**
You knew his name?
**[18:17] ---**
FrostNova called him her father.
**[18:20] ---**
That's his real name.
**[18:22] ---**
Since their days in the tundra,
he and his soldiers have been called the "Aegis of the Infected".
**[18:27] ---**
The guerrillas are, in a sense,
another "Rhodes Island".
**[18:30] ---**
Rosmontis?
**[18:31] ---**
Let's go.
**[18:33] ---**
I don't want to remember.
**[18:35] ---**
I don't want Reunion in my memories.
**[18:40] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[18:41] ---**
The guerrillas are sending runners
carrying encrypted messages.
**[18:46] ---**
It's primitive, but reliable.
**[18:48] ---**
Right, Captain Mantra?
**[18:51] ---**
Raidian, if you feel any discomfort in your nervous system,
immediately take the supplement.
**[18:56] ---**
I'll be right here.
**[18:57] ---**
Yep.
**[18:59] ---**
I'll start now.
**[19:04] ---**
Found them. Three.
**[19:06] ---**
Four... Five.
**[19:10] ---**
Raidian, sever Rosmontis's connection. Now!
**[19:12] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[19:14] ---**
We're here with you.
**[19:15] ---**
I'm here with you.
**[19:19] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:20] ---**
I'm okay.
**[19:22] ---**
Raidian, connect Rosmontis's terminal.
**[19:24] ---**
Nine...
**[19:26] ---**
Thirteen... Fourteen...
**[19:28] ---**
I found all of them.
**[19:30] ---**
Good work.
**[19:31] ---**
We'll neutralize the runners and
proceed to the central district.
**[19:35] ---**
Rosmontis...
**[19:36] ---**
I'm fine.
**[19:37] ---**
I came here to protect everyone.
**[19:40] ---**
I'm here because of this power.
**[19:43] ---**
It doesn't matter if I'm a child.
**[19:46] ---**
Amiya's the same.
**[19:48] ---**
We're monsters, aren't we?
**[19:50] ---**
Doctor?
**[19:54] ---**
Rhodes Island...
**[19:55] ---**
Let them pass.
**[19:59] ---**
Let me through!
**[20:01] ---**
You know something, don't you?
**[20:05] ---**
*Guerrillas spotted across the bridge!*
**[20:07] ---**
*Understood. Standby and stay alert.*
**[20:10] ---**
Guess they're not stupid enough to rush in.
**[20:12] ---**
Hm?
**[20:13] ---**
A Feline girl...?
**[20:17] ---**
Slice from there, to there.
**[20:22] ---**
Hold it with my hands.
**[20:24] ---**
Slice.
**[20:26] ---**
Like slicing a potato.
**[20:28] ---**
This is a lot more overwhelming
than the data...
**[20:32] ---**
It's the manifestation of Rosmontis's mind.
**[20:36] ---**
This has been covered up, but...
**[20:38] ---**
she's an artificially-created Infected.
**[20:42] ---**
An infected organ was
implanted in her brain stem.
**[20:44] ---**
Removing it would mean death.
**[20:46] ---**
Was it to make her into a weapon?
**[20:47] ---**
Perhaps.
**[20:49] ---**
Her Arts leak out from her body and,
if left alone, will take lives.
**[20:53] ---**
After she was taken into our custody,
she underwent training to control her Arts.
**[20:59] ---**
Of course, it was per her wishes.
**[21:01] ---**
Do you think she's a weapon?
**[21:03] ---**
She is absolutely not!
**[21:05] ---**
But... that power is far too strong...
**[21:09] ---**
Scout must've felt the same way.
**[21:14] ---**
Some things can only be dealt
with using overwhelming force.
**[21:17] ---**
She knows that, too.
**[21:20] ---**
Therefore, what's important...
**[21:22] ---**
is what that power will be used for.
**[21:25] ---**
And that goes for you too, Doctor.
**[21:29] ---**
The guerrillas are retreating!
**[21:31] ---**
*Proceed.*
**[21:33] ---**
All units, get your protective gear ready.
**[21:37] ---**
We're getting close to the ritual.
**[21:42] ---**
I can feel the energy...
**[21:45] ---**
It's coming from behind them.
**[21:47] ---**
But I can also sense *him*... and Guard is—
**[21:51] ---**
I'll destroy it.
**[21:52] ---**
Wait, Rosmontis!
**[21:57] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[22:00] ---**
Patriot.
**[22:03] ---**
The Aegis of the Infected...

**[00:04] ---**
He's... not going to cave
to Talulah's plans!
**[00:07] ---**
He's Patriot, and he won't die!
**[00:10] ---**
Yeah, he's a stubborn old geezer, alright.
**[00:13] ---**
But what about you?
**[00:19] ---**
Rhodes Island.
**[00:21] ---**
Anyone going, to the command tower...
**[00:24] ---**
No matter, who, they are...
**[00:28] ---**
Are, our enemy.
**[00:31] ---**
You will, die.
**[00:33] ---**
The way you talk...
**[00:35] ---**
Are you infected in your larynx?
**[00:38] ---**
It's been a long time,
**[00:39] ---**
Buldrokkas'tee.
**[00:42] ---**
Dame, Kal'tsit?
**[02:16] ---**
Why don't...
**[02:18] ---**
you age?
**[02:21] ---**
Not even, the years, could change you.
**[02:26] ---**
Not true, Buldrokkas'tee.
**[02:28] ---**
The years have changed us all.
**[02:30] ---**
You left Kazdel
and, as the Aegis of the Infected,
**[02:34] ---**
have been fighting the oppression
and brutality they face, have you not?
**[02:38] ---**
I have not changed.
**[02:40] ---**
I could not, stand all the killing,
so I left, Her Highness.
**[02:47] ---**
Ursus is now, my homeland,
yet, the killing, continues.
**[02:54] ---**
You still call her "Her Highness".
**[02:57] ---**
A king, is a king.
**[03:01] ---**
We came here not for bloodshed.
**[03:05] ---**
Her Highness, trusted you.
So, I too, trust you.
**[03:11] ---**
But them.
**[03:14] ---**
They stink, of my daughter. Her death.
**[03:19] ---**
She...
**[03:20] ---**
She was, young.
As such, she acted foolishly.
**[03:26] ---**
She, trusted you, blindly.
**[03:29] ---**
She fought with everything she had
to prove her anger and ideals!
**[03:34] ---**
Her life, and that battle,
were invaluable and had meaning!
**[03:40] ---**
You, have no right, to say this.
**[03:45] ---**
My daughter,
gave up the fight, against fate.
**[03:51] ---**
No!
**[03:52] ---**
She approved of us
and entrusted us with her will!
**[03:57] ---**
Listen to me. Talulah has set this city
on a collision course for Lungmen!
**[04:01] ---**
And it's transmitting,
an Ursus signal, isn't it?
**[04:06] ---**
If you know that, then why...?
**[04:08] ---**
How do I tell,
the Infected, their leader is mad?
**[04:11] ---**
That their struggle, is for nothing?
**[04:16] ---**
I cannot, let Reunion, destroy itself.
**[04:20] ---**
Do you seek vengeance, *Patriot ?*
**[04:24] ---**
No, Dame.
**[04:27] ---**
I loathe fate.
**[04:31] ---**
If fate, lets you, make me turn,
**[04:38] ---**
I would rather, never turn, back.
**[04:45] ---**
You have options other than to die!
**[04:49] ---**
You too, have most certainly, tasted loss.
**[04:54] ---**
And so, could you, stand by, and watch?
**[04:59] ---**
This, is war.
**[05:01] ---**
I fight not, for my daughter's death.
**[05:04] ---**
I fight, for the living,
for all Infected, to the end.
**[05:09] ---**
For my death, I want meaning.
**[05:13] ---**
I don't believe, in coincidences.
**[05:17] ---**
This is it...
**[05:18] ---**
-Only if, you kill me, will your value, be known.
-*All units, prepare for battle.*
**[05:24] ---**
If fate, stands with me,
**[05:27] ---**
I kill you. Then I, shall kill fate.
**[05:31] ---**
What... What is he saying?
If fate, stands with you.
**[05:35] ---**
I go forward, and trample everything.
**[05:39] ---**
Whoever lives,
**[05:42] ---**
is righteous!
**[05:44] ---**
Rhodes Island,
**[05:46] ---**
I advance!
**[05:51] ---**
Equip your protective gear!
**[05:52] ---**
Our enemy is the Reunion commander Patriot.
**[05:55] ---**
Unlike FrostNova, he trusts in nothing.
**[05:59] ---**
Only war can kill him.
**[06:03] ---**
Mon3tr!
**[06:07] ---**
*That fluctuation...*
**[06:08] ---**
*He's activating the ritual
with his body as the medium.*
**[06:11] ---**
*It's a special form of witchcraft
that corrodes lifeforms!*
**[06:14] ---**
*Our protective gear won't fully block it!*
**[06:16] ---**
*Rosmontis.*
**[06:17] ---**
Yep.
**[06:27] ---**
Cheap tricks!
**[06:30] ---**
Mon3tr.
**[06:40] ---**
The Originium...
**[06:41] ---**
It's healing its host's body.
**[06:44] ---**
That's an abnormal assimilation rate.
**[06:45] ---**
It may have taken over many
of his physiological functions.
**[06:59] ---**
*Rosmontis!*
**[07:00] ---**
*An operator has made it to the device.*
**[07:02] ---**
*Do it now!*
**[07:03] ---**
Got it.
**[07:08] ---**
Take this!
**[07:19] ---**
Amiya.
**[07:20] ---**
Yes.
**[07:26] ---**
Try and resist!
**[07:36] ---**
Mon3tr!
**[07:40] ---**
Amiya!
**[07:43] ---**
Is that all?
**[07:45] ---**
If my daughter, was at her full strength...
**[07:49] ---**
Killing you, would be easy.
**[07:52] ---**
Our attacks are working!
**[07:55] ---**
We won't take even a step back.
**[07:58] ---**
You...
**[08:00] ---**
are a wall that we must overcome.
**[08:02] ---**
Keep attacking
until his regeneration can't keep up!
**[08:06] ---**
Yes!
**[08:07] ---**
*Everyone, hold the surrounding area!*
-Roger!
**[08:23] ---**
Mon3tr, attack the device!
**[08:28] ---**
Too weak!
**[08:32] ---**
*Good work. Fall back!*
**[08:34] ---**
Good!
**[08:36] ---**
The ritual is still going?!
**[08:39] ---**
He offered his own body?!
**[08:42] ---**
Both sides will only last minutes!
**[08:44] ---**
Keep attacking!
**[08:54] ---**
He's not stopping! Why?
**[08:57] ---**
Why go so far?!
**[08:59] ---**
*Buldrokkas'tee.*
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:02] ---**
Mon3tr, release!
**[09:07] ---**
*Even after I'm gone,
you'll still have our son.*
**[09:12] ---**
*A child is the continuation of life.*
**[09:16] ---**
*Your love for me is true.*
**[09:18] ---**
*That's why even a woman who had no concept
of love could return your love all the same.*
**[09:24] ---**
*So please don't say you will never remarry.*
**[09:28] ---**
*I love you, even into the future,
as well as the family you'll come to have.*
**[09:34] ---**
*All of it...*
**[09:36] ---**
*Helen... I couldn't protect you.*
**[09:41] ---**
*I don't deserve your love.*
**[09:53] ---**
You, are strong.
**[09:56] ---**
Feline girl.
**[09:58] ---**
Where is your regret?
**[10:01] ---**
Carry it, as you go.
**[10:04] ---**
For someone must carry it!
**[10:12] ---**
*I'm begging you!
Stop following the Empire's orders!*
**[10:15] ---**
*Father, those are all lies meant
to spread hatred for the Infected!*
**[10:20] ---**
*If I get infected,
will you still turn a blind eye?!*
**[10:25] ---**
*Father...*
**[10:27] ---**
*Is being Buldrokkas'tee the soldier
really more important to you?!*
**[10:31] ---**
*Grrovae'zeeal, you were innocent.*
**[10:35] ---**
*Your father couldn't walk the right path.*
**[10:39] ---**
You're carrying...
**[10:42] ---**
so much regret...
**[10:46] ---**
all by yourself...?
**[10:48] ---**
Amiya?
**[10:53] ---**
*I cannot stop this fight.*
**[10:57] ---**
*If I stop, their pain, hatred, sorrow...*
**[11:03] ---**
*even their deaths will all be for naught.*
**[11:14] ---**
That's enough.
**[11:16] ---**
It's enough...
**[11:17] ---**
It's enough...
**[11:18] ---**
*Are you crying?*
**[11:20] ---**
*You're my closest family, Daddy.*
**[11:24] ---**
*It doesn't matter
if we're good guys or bad guys.*
**[11:28] ---**
*As long as I can be with everyone,
it's all okay.*
**[11:33] ---**
*Yelena...*
**[11:35] ---**
*You were my daughter...*
**[11:39] ---**
*but I couldn't do anything even for you.*
**[11:42] ---**
Cautus girl!
**[11:45] ---**
You can't even defeat me,
**[11:47] ---**
yet you want to stop this war?
**[11:49] ---**
Stop Talulah?!
**[11:56] ---**
Amiya?
**[11:58] ---**
It's already... too much.
**[12:01] ---**
-I can still... kill you.
-You're at your limit.
**[12:07] ---**
I can tell.
**[12:10] ---**
Patriot, you...
**[12:13] ---**
You've already...
**[12:16] ---**
fought more than enough.
**[12:46] ---**
You, won.
**[13:00] ---**
This is the key, to stop, this city.
**[13:05] ---**
Patriot.
**[13:08] ---**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[13:10] ---**
I am not... like my daughter.
**[13:15] ---**
I trust... only war. Only results.
**[13:19] ---**
Dame, I ask you to... bear witness.
**[13:25] ---**
You are qualified...
to stand amongst my ancestors.
**[13:32] ---**
Very well.
**[13:40] ---**
...I hereby witness a Sarkaz.
**[13:46] ---**
Buldrokkas'tee, Wendigo of Kazdel...
**[13:49] ---**
You mercs live like puppets! You think we're
just going to stand here and let you kill us?!
**[13:54] ---**
Don't kill them.
**[13:56] ---**
Let them go.
**[13:59] ---**
In exchange,
I'll give you bodies that know no pain.
**[14:03] ---**
What? And be part of your herd?
**[14:04] ---**
More than that.
**[14:07] ---**
I'll share my life with you.
**[14:09] ---**
And you'll really get to fight forever.
**[14:14] ---**
I'll take you up on that.
**[14:16] ---**
But my people will watch them.
**[14:18] ---**
We're not about to disobey Talulah now.
**[14:21] ---**
Go.
**[14:23] ---**
Go.
**[14:29] ---**
Hey, there's somewhere I want to go.
**[14:35] ---**
And his soul returns to the warm blood
of the Wendigos.
**[14:45] ---**
Thank you, Dame.
**[14:48] ---**
Captain...
**[14:49] ---**
Final order.
**[14:52] ---**
Live on.
**[14:55] ---**
Forge your own, paths...
**[14:58] ---**
for yourselves.
**[15:06] ---**
*This is fine.*
**[15:08] ---**
*I alone will die.*
**[15:12] ---**
*Finally, my life... can end.*
**[15:28] ---**
Helen...?
**[15:30] ---**
Grrovae'zeeal...
**[15:35] ---**
Yelena...
**[15:41] ---**
I'm finally...
**[15:44] ---**
going back to you...
**[15:59] ---**
No!
**[16:01] ---**
What... is this?
**[16:05] ---**
Who... shows me... hallucinations?!
**[16:10] ---**
-Stop it, Amiya!
-He broke free?!
**[16:12] ---**
It's you!
**[16:14] ---**
Cautus girl!
**[16:16] ---**
I heard, in the past, Lords of Sarkaz,
**[16:19] ---**
gave visions of comfort,
as favors to warriors.
**[16:25] ---**
You, are her... successor!
**[16:29] ---**
You are... the Lord of Fiends!
**[16:32] ---**
I didn't want the end of your life
to be so tragic!
**[16:36] ---**
You've fought constantly for 200 years...
and lost everything...!
**[16:41] ---**
I wanted to give you... a more peaceful...
**[16:43] ---**
No!
**[16:44] ---**
I don't need your consolation!
**[16:47] ---**
Peace? That is not my end!
**[16:50] ---**
If it is tragic, then it is tragic.
**[16:52] ---**
If foolish, then foolish!
**[16:54] ---**
I tried to defeat fate, and was defeated!
**[16:57] ---**
This is fate!
**[16:59] ---**
This is the end I deserve!
**[17:02] ---**
Like my daughter, you are a child
who believes in happily ever after.
**[17:07] ---**
Both she and I have fought many battles!
**[17:11] ---**
It has nothing to do with age!
**[17:13] ---**
You know it. This was planned by Talulah!
**[17:16] ---**
Then why not—
**[17:18] ---**
You cannot even give me...
what Talulah once did!
**[17:26] ---**
Do you have what it takes
to succeed the King?
**[17:29] ---**
Do you have the power
to change the endless wilderness?!
**[17:34] ---**
I can't do it alone.
**[17:37] ---**
But I'm not alone.
**[17:42] ---**
In that case, change all of this.
**[17:45] ---**
Overthrow this fate.
**[17:50] ---**
As foretold in the prophecy,
I shall die by your hands...
**[17:56] ---**
At the hands of... the King of Sarkaz.
**[17:59] ---**
It can't be... a Sarkaz's—?!
**[18:01] ---**
I see countless cities devastated.
**[18:08] ---**
-I see Originium blanketing the land.
-*All operators!*
**[18:11] ---**
-I see Originium blanketing the land.
-*Anything he says, do not listen!*
**[18:13] ---**
-*Do not believe a single word!*
-I see you, black crown on your head,
**[18:16] ---**
melting millions of lives into
nothing but memories.
**[18:22] ---**
I see the King of Sarkaz
enslaving all peoples, everywhere.
**[18:34] ---**
What?
**[18:35] ---**
Don't listen to it, Buldrokkas'tee!
**[18:37] ---**
- No, this is a Sarkaz prophecy! -Did you not
fight against fate your entire life?!
**[18:42] ---**
All the prophecies come true.
**[18:45] ---**
Young King of Sarkaz! You will be
the most horrific disaster to afflict our world!
**[18:49] ---**
I cannot let you live!
**[18:51] ---**
Amiya!
**[19:01] ---**
*We shouldn't kill her yet.*
**[19:04] ---**
*If something goes wrong in the future,
we can figure it out with her then.*
**[19:11] ---**
*Whatever happens in the future,*
**[19:13] ---**
*all this right now is the truth, right?*
**[19:16] ---**
*Let's try walking this path with her,*
**[19:18] ---**
*Father.*
**[19:36] ---**
Whispers the moon...
**[19:42] ---**
She speaks to show you her fates...
**[19:55] ---**
My voice is terrible...
**[19:57] ---**
Haha...
**[20:00] ---**
Are you laughing?
**[20:03] ---**
Yeah, I can't sing as well as you did.
**[20:14] ---**
I've come to fulfill our promise, Talulah.
**[20:20] ---**
Are you worried she won't come back?
**[20:24] ---**
Ouch.
Shut up.
**[20:26] ---**
That stupid dragon...
**[20:28] ---**
It'll be fine.
**[20:29] ---**
She will always be Ch'en of Lungmen.
**[20:32] ---**
"We'll meet again someday, somewhere."
**[20:35] ---**
I really like that phrase.
**[20:38] ---**
What's going to happen to the L.G.D...?
**[20:41] ---**
I'm not cut out for this...!
**[20:43] ---**
How unsightly.
**[20:45] ---**
Lin Yühsia!
**[20:46] ---**
I'm not your enemy.
**[20:49] ---**
Swire, I thought
you usually had a bit more pep?
**[20:52] ---**
Oh, shut up!
**[20:54] ---**
Not like you're any less gloomy
for not being able to stop the stupid dragon.
**[20:58] ---**
I guess that's true.
**[20:59] ---**
But it's not like you can tell
the snow to stop snowing.
**[21:04] ---**
We'll meet again someday... somewhere.
**[21:08] ---**
I think so, too.
**[21:14] ---**
That's enough.
**[21:15] ---**
Do you want him to have died for nothing?
**[21:17] ---**
Shut up!
**[21:18] ---**
You think we lost the fight?
**[21:21] ---**
...FrostNova's candy was spicy.
**[21:25] ---**
How... did you...?
**[21:26] ---**
Both her and Patriot
followed their own will until the bitter end.
**[21:32] ---**
Is it your will that's driving your actions?
**[21:35] ---**
Is it worth more than their lives?
**[21:40] ---**
Stop it.
**[21:42] ---**
That's enough.
**[21:45] ---**
The Captain was going to kill Talulah.
**[21:48] ---**
To prevent Reunion from collapsing,
he was going to lay the blame on Rhodes Island.
**[21:55] ---**
There doesn't seem
to be anyone who still follows Talulah.
**[21:59] ---**
With the Captain dead,
we'll kill her ourselves.
**[22:03] ---**
Rhodes Island, and you, Lord of Fiends.
**[22:06] ---**
If you take even a single wrong step,
we will show no mercy.
**[22:09] ---**
You'd best be prepared.
**[22:11] ---**
To the command tower!
**[22:12] ---**
Yeah!
**[22:15] ---**
All his emotions are gone now.
**[22:19] ---**
The only thing left
is his wrath toward fate...
**[22:24] ---**
He could have killed me,
but he stopped himself.
**[22:29] ---**
I could hear him ask.
**[22:33] ---**
*I do not believe in fate.*
**[22:36] ---**
*O, little King of Sarkaz.
It's all in our hands.*
**[22:41] ---**
"My Lord... Where will you go?"
*My Lord... Where will you go?*
**[22:47] ---**
In his long life,
he betrayed his liege twice.
**[22:52] ---**
When he turned his back on Theresa
for the emperor of Ursus...
**[22:56] ---**
When he stood up against Ursus
and sided with Talulah...
**[23:00] ---**
And just now, the third betrayal.
**[23:01] ---**
He overcame his lifetime
of suffering and chose you.
**[23:06] ---**
Talulah once had a place in the depths
of his heart, but now you're there.
**[23:12] ---**
At the same time,
it also belongs to FrostNova.
**[23:17] ---**
Always have, and always will.
**[23:20] ---**
He entrusted the future to you.
**[23:23] ---**
Rather than torture himself
upholding an ideal,
**[23:26] ---**
he finally chose to do
what he thought was right.
**[23:32] ---**
Let's end this war.
**[23:35] ---**
Right here.
**[23:37] ---**
Right now.

**[00:06] ---**
Tears...?
**[00:10] ---**
Oh, I see...
**[00:12] ---**
Patriot is...
**[00:14] ---**
"All sins must come to an end."
**[00:17] ---**
If so, then I will inevitably meet mine.
**[00:20] ---**
But at that end, I shall wait for her.
**[01:56] ---**
- Hey, Devils.
- Huh?
**[01:59] ---**
Let him go.
**[02:00] ---**
This area isn't under your control.
**[02:03] ---**
Patriot's dead.
**[02:04] ---**
We have no reason to keep
following Talulah's orders.
**[02:08] ---**
So if you brain-dead Devils don't
want to die, get out of my face.
**[02:12] ---**
What do you mean?
**[02:14] ---**
Did he fight with Rhodes Island?
**[02:16] ---**
He fought until the very end
**[02:18] ---**
- No way...
- and used up the last of his strength.
**[02:19] ---**
- Not Patriot!
-I'll fill you in later.
**[02:22] ---**
Patriot... is dead?
**[02:25] ---**
Now we can never fulfill that promise...
**[02:28] ---**
It's all...
**[02:29] ---**
This is far enough. Now get out of here.
**[02:32] ---**
I'd rather not get dragged into your mess.
**[02:35] ---**
Do your best, and live on.
**[02:38] ---**
I'm sorry, Patriot...
**[02:40] ---**
Amiya...
**[02:42] ---**
In the end, I couldn't...
**[02:44] ---**
We're heading to the control
tower to take Talulah down!
**[02:48] ---**
Everything has been the
result of her scheming!
**[02:52] ---**
We will settle the Captain's
unfinished business!
**[02:57] ---**
For Patriot!
**[02:59] ---**
For Patriot!
**[03:01] ---**
- For Patriot! For Patriot!
- There... are still things I can do...
**[03:06] ---**
For Patriot!
**[03:08] ---**
For Patriot...
**[03:11] ---**
For Faust...
**[03:13] ---**
For all our comrades who've
been betrayed by Talulah!
**[03:18] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit, everything's ready on my end.
**[03:22] ---**
You want chaos, right?
**[03:23] ---**
*No, we need order right now.*
**[03:26] ---**
*Go support the guerrillas.*
**[03:27] ---**
*Gather the well-intentioned and
rally them under one banner.*
**[03:30] ---**
Sounds like a plan! Easy enough for—
**[03:34] ---**
Never change, Dr. Kal'tsit.
**[03:36] ---**
Well, you can count on me.
**[03:40] ---**
Patriot must have foreseen this.
**[03:45] ---**
The hatred and doubts that had
accumulated within Reunion
**[03:48] ---**
have now all come to the surface.
**[03:50] ---**
*Practically speaking, the
Reunion Movement has collapsed.*
**[03:53] ---**
This isn't what I wanted.
**[03:57] ---**
*I still haven't found
anyone to take revenge on.*
**[04:01] ---**
Reunion is just a symbol.
**[04:03] ---**
The people are merely a
part of an organization.
**[04:06] ---**
There is no individual existence
for you to exact revenge on.
**[04:10] ---**
*In that case, what would
fulfill your revenge?*
**[04:13] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit, am I wrong?
**[04:17] ---**
Only you have the ability to
find the answer to the question.
**[04:22] ---**
However...
**[04:23] ---**
When all symbols are removed from our lives,
**[04:26] ---**
and when there is no longer right or wrong...
**[04:29] ---**
*Then, and only then, do our
lives themselves have value.*
**[04:32] ---**
*That's what I think.*
**[04:36] ---**
Let's go over the plan.
**[04:38] ---**
We'll split into two teams
to stop the core city.
**[04:42] ---**
Kal'tsit's team and I will head to the
underground power supply sector...
**[04:45] ---**
and cut off the energy supply
to the whole core city.
**[04:49] ---**
Amiya and Rosmontis will take
their teams to suppress Talulah.
**[04:54] ---**
Activate the core city's
emergency brakes there.
**[04:56] ---**
Yes.
**[04:57] ---**
I'll follow you wherever you go, Amiya.
**[05:00] ---**
How reassuring, Rosmontis.
**[05:02] ---**
Amiya.
**[05:04] ---**
Um...
**[05:07] ---**
Even if I'm not at your side,
**[05:09] ---**
we still fight for the same goal.
**[05:13] ---**
That's enough for me.
**[05:16] ---**
Amiya, I...
**[05:21] ---**
I promise I'll fight to
the very end with you.
**[05:26] ---**
Alright then. Please stay safe, Doctor!
**[05:32] ---**
Amiya!
**[05:35] ---**
We'll all make it back
to Rhodes Island safely!
**[05:41] ---**
Right!
**[05:42] ---**
We definitely will! All of us!
**[05:47] ---**
Reckless, and completely unconcerned
with your own lives...
**[05:52] ---**
At the end of the day, you and Hui-chieh
are cut from the same cloth.
**[05:56] ---**
Out of the way. I'm in no mood
to waste time chatting with you.
**[06:00] ---**
What will happen to Fumizuki?
**[06:02] ---**
The Black Cloaks are with her.
**[06:04] ---**
I made arrangements for her escape, too.
**[06:07] ---**
A father should know when to quit.
**[06:13] ---**
It's time you cooled off a little.
**[06:19] ---**
Don't hurt your back, you old windbag.
**[06:26] ---**
She's here.
**[06:29] ---**
Finally.
**[06:31] ---**
You'll kill her with your own hands,
**[06:35] ---**
Talulah.
**[06:41] ---**
See you.
**[06:46] ---**
Put your weapons down.
**[06:48] ---**
That getup... Rhodes Island, huh?
**[06:50] ---**
Now.
**[06:52] ---**
Weren't we gonna come together?
**[06:54] ---**
Wasn't Reunion supposed to be one big family?
**[06:59] ---**
Why are you doing this? Attacking your
own comrades, hurting your own people...
**[07:03] ---**
Our people?
**[07:05] ---**
Only the Sarkaz are our people.
**[07:08] ---**
I'm not interested in playing
house with the Infected.
**[07:11] ---**
Is that how you saw them this whole time?
**[07:15] ---**
Disgusting.
**[07:16] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[07:18] ---**
Is this an order from Talulah?
**[07:21] ---**
If we stick with her, there are better
odds of more of us surviving. That's all.
**[07:26] ---**
This is your last warning.
**[07:28] ---**
Leave this place right now.
**[07:30] ---**
Go ahead. You'll get through us sooner, no?
**[07:33] ---**
You really are unsalvageable.
**[07:37] ---**
What?
**[07:38] ---**
*This is the engineering team.*
**[07:40] ---**
*Captain Rosmontis, respond!*
**[07:42] ---**
Bluishsilver.
**[07:43] ---**
*They're raising the sealing
layer around the tower!*
**[07:46] ---**
*The infiltration point is cut off!*
**[07:48] ---**
*We'll try to suppress the structural
control area and hack it!*
**[07:51] ---**
- Huh?
- Wait!
**[07:53] ---**
It's too risky for you to
act on your own right now!
**[07:56] ---**
*We're well aware of that, Amiya.*
**[07:59] ---**
*But our top priority right now
is the infiltration of the tower.*
**[08:02] ---**
*Besides, we're not Elite Operator
Rosmontis's squad for nothing.*
**[08:07] ---**
Don't worry about us.
**[08:09] ---**
Mm-hm... all of you, be careful...
**[08:12] ---**
Be careful, okay?
**[08:14] ---**
Make sure to put your own safety first.
**[08:17] ---**
*Roger!*
**[08:19] ---**
In the end, we were just
disposable pawns, huh?
**[08:21] ---**
Amiya, we don't have time.
**[08:23] ---**
I'll do it.
**[08:24] ---**
*No, I'll settle this.*
**[08:27] ---**
Hah, good. Let's get started, Cautus...
**[08:31] ---**
What? Why can you use those Arts—
**[08:41] ---**
Amiya!
**[08:43] ---**
All I use up is my stamina.
**[08:46] ---**
But what you use up is your awareness.
**[08:49] ---**
Besides,
**[08:50] ---**
this way you won't have
to hurt as many people.
**[08:54] ---**
I don't really care.
**[08:57] ---**
But I do.
**[08:59] ---**
You damned cowards! Are you just
going to keep running away?!
**[09:04] ---**
Those Sarkaz bastards!
**[09:06] ---**
Rhodes Island is coming
this way, too. I know it.
**[09:10] ---**
They can take over the controls with
their tech and breach the sealing layer!
**[09:14] ---**
We need to work with them!
**[09:18] ---**
You're asking us to work with the
people who killed the Captain—
**[09:22] ---**
Yeah, that's right!
**[09:24] ---**
If we all die here, who'll
carry on Patriot's spirit?!
**[09:27] ---**
You'd better decide, because
we don't have much time left!
**[09:35] ---**
Doctor, are you worried about Amiya?
**[09:38] ---**
Of course I am.
**[09:40] ---**
There is nothing the current you can accomplish
in the battle against Talulah.
**[09:44] ---**
With how powerless you are,
you'd only be a distraction.
**[09:48] ---**
I know that better than anyone...
**[09:53] ---**
Have more faith in them.
**[09:55] ---**
That is, if you have faith in yourself.
**[10:17] ---**
Ah...
**[10:20] ---**
Today just isn't my day.
**[10:28] ---**
Fancy meeting you here, Kal'tsit.
**[10:31] ---**
You're gravely wounded.
**[10:33] ---**
- What happened?
- Nothing much.
**[10:35] ---**
But if you're milling around
here, Patriot's dead, huh?
**[10:41] ---**
- Yes.
- Hah! Imagine that.
**[10:44] ---**
The old fella kicked the bucket, huh?
**[10:47] ---**
You sound a bit heartbroken.
**[10:49] ---**
Guess so. He was the one guy in
Reunion I respected even a little.
**[10:54] ---**
Guess today's the day idealism dies.
**[10:58] ---**
Is that how you truly feel?
**[11:02] ---**
Kal'tsit, care to explain this?
**[11:05] ---**
Explain? There's no need.
**[11:07] ---**
Huh?! Have you finally gone bonkers?!
**[11:10] ---**
Trying to tame the evil spirit of Babel?
**[11:13] ---**
You seriously believe this asshole
just happened to get amnesia?!
**[11:17] ---**
- What exactly do you know?
- Shut the fuck up!
**[11:19] ---**
Who'd believe an obvious lie like that?!
**[11:21] ---**
This asshole was the only one
who knew where Theresa was.
**[11:25] ---**
- You know what that means, don't you?!
- Of course.
**[11:28] ---**
I know it better than you do.
**[11:33] ---**
Oh, I get it.
**[11:35] ---**
You're balancing your gains and losses again.
**[11:38] ---**
Putting things on a scale.
**[11:41] ---**
But it's Theresa on the other side!
**[11:43] ---**
- Theresa?
- If you weighing something
**[11:45] ---**
against
her death, you're just a monster!
**[11:48] ---**
You and me aren't even the same species!
**[11:50] ---**
No, we do share something in common.
**[11:53] ---**
You also want to put an end to
Talulah's atrocities. Correct?
**[11:58] ---**
That's true. She's really pissed me off.
**[12:01] ---**
I need to get my mercs back from her pronto.
**[12:04] ---**
Such a spendthrift. I'm worried she'll
blow all our savings, that dragon lady.
**[12:08] ---**
In that case, let us deal with
the Reunion problem first.
**[12:14] ---**
Well, sure. It's my top
priority to kill Talulah, too.
**[12:18] ---**
I've got a whole list and everything.
**[12:21] ---**
That asshole Theresis comes next.
**[12:23] ---**
And then you, my little ghost.
**[12:26] ---**
You won't have to wait for
long. Isn't that great?
**[12:30] ---**
Why do you despise me so much?
**[12:32] ---**
*You're actually the one
I want to kill the most,*
**[12:36] ---**
but I have something to ask you first.
**[12:38] ---**
That's why I let you go back there.
**[12:42] ---**
Before I kill you, I'll spend a long,
looong time getting the truth out of you.
**[12:48] ---**
Got it?
**[12:50] ---**
Then at this stage, we share a common goal.
**[12:53] ---**
You have my thanks for
what you did back there.
**[12:55] ---**
At the same time, it also
cost us many of our people.
**[12:59] ---**
Balancing these two factors,
and for old time's sake...
**[13:03] ---**
I'm willing to give you
a lift to the surface.
**[13:09] ---**
I've been sick of that calm face
of yours for a long time now!
**[13:13] ---**
Mon3tr.
**[13:15] ---**
Wha—
**[13:19] ---**
You old hag! I'll kill you!
**[13:22] ---**
I'll kill you for sure!
**[13:24] ---**
I swear I'll make it slow and painful t—
**[13:31] ---**
Let's go.
**[13:33] ---**
Wait.
**[13:35] ---**
What was she talking about?
**[13:38] ---**
Do you want to know?
**[13:40] ---**
When the time comes, you will understand.
**[13:42] ---**
Secrets are like wellsprings.
**[13:46] ---**
Sometimes they flow out, whether
you want them to or not.
**[13:51] ---**
I feel like I'm going to drown then.
**[13:55] ---**
What a strange device.
**[13:58] ---**
Where are you taking me?
**[14:00] ---**
Will you mend my scars?
**[14:02] ---**
Will you fill the holes in my body?
**[14:06] ---**
Or will you let me forget everything,
just like you did for the other one?
**[14:13] ---**
If I could forget everything...
**[14:17] ---**
Do I want to forget?
**[14:21] ---**
My... ideal...?
**[14:26] ---**
- You want to work together?
- Yes...
**[14:29] ---**
To tell the truth, I'm not really
sure if it's the right call.
**[14:32] ---**
But I want there to be less
casualties all around...
**[14:37] ---**
What are you so on guard for?
**[14:39] ---**
Aren't you here to kill Talulah too?
**[14:42] ---**
We won't resort to such a punitive measure.
**[14:46] ---**
Hmph, but this is an offer you
can't refuse, Rhodes Island.
**[14:50] ---**
Your proposal is reasonable.
**[14:53] ---**
However, I'm afraid of you.
**[14:56] ---**
Afraid?
**[14:57] ---**
I can't overlook the conflicts and
open wounds that exist between us.
**[15:02] ---**
Even if we were to join hands now,
as long as there remains animosity between us,
**[15:06] ---**
we will be making light of the
true victims of this incident.
**[15:10] ---**
- How arrogant.
- Hey!
**[15:12] ---**
Don't talk about Amiya like that.
**[15:15] ---**
Reunion killed our friends,
**[15:18] ---**
and Rhodes Island also killed
someone you looked up to.
**[15:22] ---**
Can you forgive that?
**[15:24] ---**
Can you really let it go?
**[15:27] ---**
It's true that we can't
forgive you. However...
**[15:30] ---**
Our personal grudges don't matter when
we have a more important objective.
**[15:35] ---**
Huh?
**[15:36] ---**
We will carry on the Captain's
unfinished business and kill Talulah.
**[15:40] ---**
Then we kill the conspirators
hiding in the shadows,
**[15:42] ---**
and all the rotten bastards
infesting the country!
**[15:45] ---**
Then, when we're finally looking
over that endless white snowfield...
**[15:49] ---**
Only then can we regain the
way of life they took from us.
**[15:53] ---**
We share a common goal, so you
can understand, can't you?
**[15:57] ---**
You walk a noble path of ruin and revenge!
**[16:00] ---**
You're wrong. That's not our path.
**[16:03] ---**
- Can you forgive them, Amiya?
- Huh?
**[16:05] ---**
Don't you hate the people
who made us what we are?
**[16:09] ---**
I'm only saying we'd be
just making new enemi—
**[16:11] ---**
If it wasn't for them, we would
all have lived normal lives.
**[16:15] ---**
I hate the people who made me like this.
**[16:19] ---**
I don't want people like them in my memories.
**[16:24] ---**
No... That's not right...
**[16:27] ---**
*You shouldn't have been the one
who had to bear its weight...*
**[16:32] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[16:34] ---**
*This is going to hurt...*
**[16:37] ---**
*Forgive me, Amiya...*
**[16:42] ---**
That's not right, Rosmontis.
**[16:45] ---**
Why? Why do you say that?
**[16:48] ---**
Amiya, this is all their fault!
**[16:52] ---**
They took Ace and Scout away from us, too!
**[16:54] ---**
I didn't want to forget! I don't want
to forget my friends and family!
**[16:59] ---**
I don't want to forget!
**[17:01] ---**
Rosmontis, calm down.
**[17:04] ---**
If it'll make everyone feel even
a little better, I'll kill them!
**[17:07] ---**
If you don't want to, I'll do it!
**[17:10] ---**
Please, Amiya!
**[17:13] ---**
*Engineering team here.*
**[17:14] ---**
*The drive system has stopped.
We may be getting interferen—*
**[17:17] ---**
Huh? What? What's going—
**[17:19] ---**
*Quick! Hide! There's still Reunion—*
**[17:21] ---**
Eh...?
**[17:23] ---**
*Huh? Captain! Be careful!*
**[17:26] ---**
*There's Ur—*
**[17:29] ---**
Huh? Answer me...
**[17:32] ---**
Answer me! Bluishsilver!
**[17:35] ---**
Lavaca!
**[17:36] ---**
I can't... feel her anymore...!
**[17:39] ---**
No, I can't reach her...
**[17:41] ---**
Don't go away! Don't disappear!
**[17:44] ---**
Prep the explosives.
**[17:46] ---**
- Let's blow open the sealing layer.
- Wha—
**[17:47] ---**
Wait! The hostages will be
caught in the explosion—
**[17:50] ---**
Then give us a better plan!
**[17:54] ---**
How could this happen to them?
**[17:58] ---**
They did everything right...!
**[18:02] ---**
I just need to destroy it, right?
**[18:04] ---**
If I can suffer to keep
them from suffering...
**[18:08] ---**
Then I just need to destroy it, right?
**[18:18] ---**
What?!
**[18:23] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[18:28] ---**
It needs to go...
**[18:30] ---**
Everything...!
**[18:32] ---**
I'll destroy it all!
**[18:45] ---**
Such strength...
**[18:52] ---**
- Rosmontis...
- Just... a little more!
**[18:54] ---**
Rosmontis.
**[18:56] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[19:00] ---**
- Rosmontis! Breathe slowly!
- So cold.
**[19:03] ---**
- It's okay. I've got you, so come back to me!
- My head hurts.
**[19:15] ---**
These are... your memories
with Bluishsilver...
**[19:24] ---**
She spared the ones on our side!
**[19:26] ---**
Don't let go! Hold on tight!
**[19:31] ---**
I'm holding... I'm holding.
**[19:34] ---**
Rosmontis... Look at me. Look into my eyes.
**[19:46] ---**
Amiya.
**[19:49] ---**
Please don't ever do that again.
**[19:51] ---**
Though even if I tell you that, you'll...
**[19:53] ---**
Uh-huh... Sorry. I know, but...
**[19:57] ---**
Well done, Feline!
**[19:59] ---**
You rest here for a while.
**[20:01] ---**
- Let's move out!
- Yeah!
**[20:03] ---**
- Could you wait for us for a minute?
- What?
**[20:06] ---**
If you need our help...
Then you have to know the way we do things.
**[20:11] ---**
Very well. Considering what she
did for us, we can spare a minute.
**[20:17] ---**
I have to... find... my team.
**[20:21] ---**
*This is the engineering team.*
**[20:22] ---**
- Captain, please respond!
- Lavaca! Are you okay?
**[20:25] ---**
I'll be coming right away!
**[20:27] ---**
*No, please focus on your mission.*
**[20:30] ---**
I can't! I'll come help you now!
**[20:32] ---**
*Bluishsilver said this at the very end.*
**[20:35] ---**
*You're not just an elite
operator. You're "Rosmontis".*
**[20:40] ---**
*You're not a weapon.*
**[20:42] ---**
*So think about what "Rosmontis" would do,*
**[20:45] ---**
*and do what you would do.*
**[20:51] ---**
Okay...
**[20:53] ---**
Make sure... Make sure you come back.
**[20:56] ---**
*Of course. Make sure you and
everyone else stay safe, too!*
**[21:03] ---**
Hey, Amiya.
**[21:05] ---**
After Scout and Ace died,
what went through your mind?
**[21:10] ---**
You don't have to tell me if you
don't want to. I just want to know.
**[21:14] ---**
Sorry.
**[21:16] ---**
You want to run away from
memories you don't like, too?
**[21:19] ---**
That's not it.
**[21:21] ---**
It's just not the time to face it.
**[21:26] ---**
I remember the last thing I thought.
**[21:29] ---**
That I didn't want to let
any of us die in vain...
**[21:33] ---**
And that tears are for the
end, for when it's all over.
**[21:37] ---**
Amiya, you're really strong.
**[21:40] ---**
Huh?
**[21:41] ---**
Okay, let's go, Amiya.
**[21:43] ---**
Uh, are you okay?
**[21:45] ---**
Rosmonti—
**[21:48] ---**
Amiya?
**[21:49] ---**
Amiya? What's the matter?
**[21:51] ---**
Is this Madame Ch'en's...?
**[21:53] ---**
No...

**[00:25] ---**
Good morning, Talulah.
**[01:59] ---**
I've brought some salt over.
**[02:01] ---**
Sorry. Thanks for that.
**[02:03] ---**
I heard you came home late last night.
**[02:06] ---**
I was just wandering around.
**[02:08] ---**
Hmm...
**[02:09] ---**
Oh, right. Here.
**[02:11] ---**
The landscape painting you wanted.
**[02:14] ---**
You actually remembered.
**[02:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:17] ---**
This brushwork... This
isn't by any local painter.
**[02:22] ---**
You went to the city, didn't you?
**[02:25] ---**
Keep this from Babushka, okay?
**[02:28] ---**
You haven't gotten yourself
in any kind of trouble, have you?
**[02:32] ---**
Nope.
**[02:33] ---**
Don't you try to hide anything from me.
**[02:36] ---**
I'm not hiding anything.
**[02:40] ---**
Let's go.
**[02:44] ---**
With salt, it actually *tastes* like something.
**[02:48] ---**
Didn't I tell you not to wander out in public
when you're dressed like that?
**[02:52] ---**
What will you do if you catch the attention
of the Ursus patrols?
**[02:56] ---**
I'm only wearing them because
I've got things to do.
**[02:58] ---**
Besides, I got these clothes
from a handsome gentleman.
**[03:03] ---**
If I wear these, fate might
just send him to me again.
**[03:07] ---**
The other day, you said your father
gave them to you as a birthday gift!
**[03:11] ---**
Huh? Did I?
**[03:12] ---**
What do I do with you?
Every other word out of your mouth is a lie.
**[03:16] ---**
A healthy girl ought to be working.
**[03:18] ---**
Don't be so hard on her, Babushka.
**[03:21] ---**
You're too soft on her, Alina.
**[03:24] ---**
She doesn't even take care of her farmwork.
**[03:27] ---**
I haven't slacked once
on the yearly farmwork.
**[03:29] ---**
You've only been here for two years.
**[03:32] ---**
Now eat and help tidy up.
**[03:34] ---**
I'll be heading out once I'm done.
**[03:36] ---**
Hah? Again?
Just when things are getting busy at the farm!
**[03:40] ---**
To each their own.
**[03:43] ---**
What does that mean?
**[03:44] ---**
Everyone has their own ambitions.
**[03:49] ---**
You really have a way with words, don't you?
**[03:53] ---**
We're in trouble!
**[03:54] ---**
The patrol unit is here again!
**[03:56] ---**
They're having a row with Ivan!
**[03:58] ---**
The old man?
**[03:59] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:00] ---**
Why are they here again?
**[04:01] ---**
Talulah?
**[04:01] ---**
No idea...
**[04:03] ---**
Wait!
**[04:04] ---**
Talulah, you mustn't take that outside!
**[04:07] ---**
Wait in here.
**[04:10] ---**
What a stubborn old man.
**[04:12] ---**
This is a routine inspection!
**[04:16] ---**
You already came just a little while ago.
**[04:19] ---**
You call it an inspection,
**[04:20] ---**
but you just take our food
and money behind our backs.
**[04:23] ---**
If you want us to let you off,
then you gotta make it worth our while.
**[04:26] ---**
That's what we call a fair trade!
**[04:33] ---**
What are you doing?
**[04:36] ---**
Hm?
**[04:38] ---**
An Ursus officer's uniform?
**[04:40] ---**
You, where did you get those clothes?
**[04:42] ---**
They're not for lowly peasants like—
**[04:43] ---**
I'm asking. What are you doing?
**[04:47] ---**
So cocky...
**[04:48] ---**
Who do you think you are?!
**[04:54] ---**
Be grateful I didn't cut off your hand.
**[04:57] ---**
You bitch... You think you
can get away with this?
**[05:01] ---**
Would you like me to cut
out your tongue then?
**[05:05] ---**
Let's go.
**[05:11] ---**
Are you okay, sir?
**[05:13] ---**
Talulah... Do you have any
idea what you've done?
**[05:18] ---**
Would letting him beat you
up have been any better?
**[05:20] ---**
Okay, now hold on tight.
**[05:22] ---**
Let's hurry and get your leg treated.
**[05:26] ---**
I always thought I was still in good shape.
**[05:29] ---**
Guess there's no fighting old age.
**[05:32] ---**
Keep talking like that and you're in for
a tongue-lashing from your wife.
**[05:36] ---**
Hah, business as usual then.
**[05:41] ---**
Hey, Talulah...
**[05:43] ---**
Hm?
**[05:46] ---**
Ah, what was it again?
**[05:49] ---**
I already forgot.
**[05:51] ---**
Are you okay?
**[05:53] ---**
Sheesh, what part of you is in good shape?
**[06:00] ---**
There's been a report that this village
is hiding an Infected!
**[06:04] ---**
Every household must now submit to a search!
**[06:07] ---**
The Infected and anyone sheltering them
will be executed on sight!
**[06:11] ---**
There was a snitch in the village?
**[06:13] ---**
No! It's just an excuse to find the one
who attacked them!
**[06:18] ---**
You need to hide!
**[06:20] ---**
This should keep you well fed for a while.
**[06:23] ---**
Thank you for everything till now.
**[06:25] ---**
T-Talulah, you mustn't go!
**[06:28] ---**
I need to let them know what they've wrought.
**[06:30] ---**
Talulah!
**[06:32] ---**
Alina?
**[06:33] ---**
Stay here, Talulah.
**[06:35] ---**
Let me through.
**[06:36] ---**
No, I won't.
**[06:41] ---**
Hey, where did Dedushka go?
**[06:44] ---**
*You're* the attacker?
**[06:46] ---**
We aren't here for a poor
old geezer. Take a hike.
**[06:49] ---**
Wait!
**[06:53] ---**
Now you've found what
you're looking for, right?
**[06:57] ---**
Your search is over!
**[07:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:02] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[07:05] ---**
The old man's an Infected?
**[07:07] ---**
Yes, and it's an acute case.
**[07:10] ---**
He doesn't have much more time.
**[07:14] ---**
You're Infected too, aren't you, Talulah?
**[07:17] ---**
Huh?
**[07:18] ---**
We've known all along.
**[07:20] ---**
From the day we found you lying in the snow.
**[07:24] ---**
We don't have long to live, but...
**[07:29] ---**
Even if you're sick,
you've still got years ahead of you.
**[07:33] ---**
You two have been like daughters to us,
**[07:38] ---**
and I want you both to live happy lives.
**[07:42] ---**
Babushka, I'm sorry. I'm actually—
**[07:46] ---**
Talulah!
**[07:47] ---**
Wait, Talulah!
**[07:49] ---**
Dedushka is trying to keep us safe!
**[08:11] ---**
You must be the attacker they told us about.
**[08:35] ---**
What... is this?
**[08:42] ---**
Talulah, you...
**[08:47] ---**
Talulah!
**[08:50] ---**
I'm sorry, Alina.
**[08:53] ---**
I couldn't stand it anymore.
**[08:57] ---**
I just couldn't stand it anymore...
**[09:07] ---**
Talulah.
**[09:10] ---**
I knew that this day would
come, sooner or later.
**[09:15] ---**
There's a fire in your eyes.
**[09:18] ---**
There's something you want
to burn down with it, isn't there?
**[09:22] ---**
But, Talulah, now is not the time.
**[09:25] ---**
Letting your anger flare up
does nothing but harm the innocent villagers.
**[09:29] ---**
Put out the fire! Hurry!
**[09:30] ---**
Even so... I...
**[09:31] ---**
What's with the fire? It's not normal!
**[09:34] ---**
It's the Infected! The Infected did this!
**[09:35] ---**
Run now!
**[09:37] ---**
We're leaving the village, Talulah!
**[09:39] ---**
I can't! I can't just leave them be!
**[09:41] ---**
If we stay, Babushka will
be blamed for this, too!
**[09:45] ---**
No, I can't!
**[09:46] ---**
I'm... too.
**[09:48] ---**
What?
**[09:50] ---**
I'm an Infected too.
**[09:54] ---**
Ali...na...
**[09:56] ---**
There she is! It's her!
**[09:58] ---**
Run, you two!
**[09:59] ---**
Hurry!
**[10:01] ---**
Sorry!
**[10:02] ---**
Thank you, Babushka!
**[10:05] ---**
Don't ever come back, you hear me?
**[10:14] ---**
I was planning to turn myself in
to the patrol unit too.
**[10:19] ---**
But he beat me to it.
**[10:21] ---**
Even the tip-off was part of his plan,
to put a stop to their search.
**[10:27] ---**
That would never have stopped them
from robbing the village!
**[10:31] ---**
He planned it so that we
and the rest of the villagers
**[10:34] ---**
could live free without
the patrol unit's prying eyes.
**[10:37] ---**
I, for one, don't plan on running away.
**[10:39] ---**
You want to take down the patrol unit?
**[10:41] ---**
I know I can.
**[10:43] ---**
Then what?
What if the military police come next? The army?
**[10:47] ---**
Well...
**[10:49] ---**
If I take the time to build
up enough strength, then—
**[10:51] ---**
You can't keep thinking
everything will turn out fine.
**[10:54] ---**
Then am I supposed to turn a blind eye
to all the wrongdoing around me...
**[10:58] ---**
and think only about saving my own ass?
**[11:00] ---**
If justice comes with sacrifices,
can you really call it just?!
**[11:05] ---**
I don't know the answer to that.
**[11:08] ---**
That's something you need to find yourself.
**[11:15] ---**
In that case, I *will* find that answer.
**[11:18] ---**
I promise you that.
**[11:21] ---**
Right, that's what you
should be asking yourself.
**[11:40] ---**
You're back.
**[11:42] ---**
Oh? I thought you weren't fond of that sword.
**[11:46] ---**
Well, no matter.
**[11:48] ---**
I asked you to eliminate the major.
**[11:50] ---**
That should hardly have
been difficult for you.
**[11:53] ---**
Haven't I taught you this?
**[11:55] ---**
Nothing worth striving for can be achieved
without sacrifice.
**[11:58] ---**
You took pity on his boy.
**[12:01] ---**
Did you see yourself in him,
from when your father was murdered by Wei?
**[12:04] ---**
Lies!
**[12:05] ---**
You were exiled from Lungmen.
**[12:09] ---**
You hid that from me and lied to me the whole time!
**[12:11] ---**
That doesn't change the fact
that Wei killed Edward.
**[12:14] ---**
As part of your plan! You're just as guilty!
**[12:17] ---**
But now, I'm an Infected.
**[12:21] ---**
Your schemes for me end here.
**[12:24] ---**
If your little sister saw you like this,
what would she think, I wonder?
**[12:30] ---**
Don't you...!
**[12:31] ---**
My daughter—
**[12:32] ---**
Shut up! I don't recall ever
becoming your daughter!
**[12:34] ---**
No, you are. You and I are
cut from the same cloth.
**[12:38] ---**
You've learned to control others from me.
**[12:41] ---**
I'll never become a ruler like you!
**[12:44] ---**
And after the many long years,
the Arts I have cultivated in you...
**[12:48] ---**
have long since budded,
and it is now time for them to bear fruit.
**[12:52] ---**
Let me make a wager with you:
**[12:55] ---**
On whether you will walk
the path I taught you.
**[12:59] ---**
The fantasies you have of the masses
will surely turn into hatred.
**[13:03] ---**
You will be betrayed by those you trusted,
and witness your friends dying for you,
**[13:08] ---**
finally losing all hope for the future.
**[13:11] ---**
Then, you will come to see.
**[13:12] ---**
That these lands
you have devoted yourself to do not want you.
**[13:17] ---**
When you finally understand
me, acknowledge me,
**[13:20] ---**
my Arts will slowly eat away at you
like a ticking clock,
**[13:24] ---**
and you will become me.
**[13:27] ---**
From then on, Ursus's future
will be in your hands.
**[13:32] ---**
And the Black Snake shall
walk with you always.
**[13:35] ---**
You... placed a curse on me?
**[13:38] ---**
This is no curse.
**[13:40] ---**
It's a blessing.
**[13:42] ---**
Shut up.
**[13:44] ---**
Ah, at last, this day has come.
**[13:48] ---**
Do you despise me, Talulah?
**[13:52] ---**
I won't hate you.
**[13:54] ---**
I'll prove that what you've
taught me is meaningless.
**[14:00] ---**
I look forward to it.
**[14:02] ---**
Talulah, remember this.
**[14:06] ---**
Your end...
**[14:08] ---**
is me.
**[14:14] ---**
*I don't remember anything after that.*
**[14:19] ---**
Babushka told me something once.
**[14:21] ---**
It was a lot of work getting all the blood
off your clothes, the day you showed up.
**[14:27] ---**
So Kashchey placed a curse on you.
**[14:29] ---**
That no matter how kind-hearted you are,
you'll come to hate people in the end.
**[14:34] ---**
It's true that people make
mistakes, and commit evil,
**[14:37] ---**
but only because they're forced to
by their circumstances.
**[14:41] ---**
They're definitely nothing
like what Kashchey said.
**[14:44] ---**
That's why I'll never hate anyone.
**[14:48] ---**
Do you want me to watch over
you to make sure of that?
**[14:52] ---**
Please do.
**[14:53] ---**
But you have to think about
what you'll do after I'm gone, too.
**[14:58] ---**
Don't say something so ominous!
**[15:00] ---**
It'll happen someday.
**[15:02] ---**
The Infected aren't afforded very much time.
**[15:05] ---**
Which is why I want us
to make the most of it.
**[15:08] ---**
Right?
**[15:09] ---**
Yeah, everyone deserves to be loved,
the Infected included.
**[15:15] ---**
So if someone is standing in the way of that
then we must rise up.
**[15:19] ---**
So you want to take a stand
against Ursus itself.
**[15:23] ---**
If we manage to carve out
a home for the Infected,
**[15:26] ---**
then the people of this land
might rethink what they've done.
**[15:30] ---**
This land isn't as kind as you think.
**[15:35] ---**
Hard work often goes
unrewarded. Remember that.
**[15:39] ---**
Everything we've done will
bear fruit. I know it.
**[15:43] ---**
Because everyone who lives on these lands
deserve such a future.
**[15:48] ---**
Just watch, Alina.
**[15:52] ---**
Okay.
**[15:54] ---**
So don't hide anything from me, okay?
**[15:56] ---**
You contacted someone this
afternoon, didn't you?
**[16:00] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[16:01] ---**
They're Infected from beyond the snowfield.
**[16:05] ---**
You're... actually doing
something amazing, aren't you?
**[16:08] ---**
I want to find us some land.
**[16:10] ---**
Fertile land where the snowfield's Infected
can come to be saved and live in peace.
**[16:16] ---**
We can send them to the mines,
but they won't be of any use.
**[16:21] ---**
Useless bastards.
**[16:23] ---**
Alright, how do you people want to die?
**[16:26] ---**
My fellow Infected, stand proud.
**[16:30] ---**
These men don't actually fear
the calamity wrought by our disease.
**[16:34] ---**
They are simply toying with our lives!
**[16:36] ---**
What the hell?
**[16:37] ---**
How we live, how we die,
no one but ourselves should decide that!
**[16:43] ---**
That getup... Who are you?! Name yourself!
**[16:47] ---**
I have no name to tell you.
**[16:52] ---**
Thanks for chasing those
guys away. You saved us.
**[16:56] ---**
We came all this way
looking for a place we could live in peace...
**[17:00] ---**
but in the end, there's nowhere for us to go.
**[17:03] ---**
In that case, why don't you come with me?
**[17:05] ---**
Huh?
**[17:06] ---**
There are places we can
go, even in the snowfield.
**[17:08] ---**
I'm building a new village.
**[17:10] ---**
There are a lot of us Infected.
**[17:12] ---**
We can support each other.
**[17:14] ---**
B-But what if they come after us again?
**[17:16] ---**
Then we just have to defeat them.
**[17:18] ---**
With training, all of you
will be able to fight, too.
**[17:22] ---**
We can fight off any raiders together.
**[17:24] ---**
You mean... we have that power?
**[17:27] ---**
That's right.
**[17:28] ---**
We can regain our own lives, bit-by-bit.
**[17:32] ---**
We'll build up our numbers.
**[17:34] ---**
And food, too.
**[17:35] ---**
After that, right...
**[17:38] ---**
We'll need a flame.
**[17:40] ---**
A powerful flame.
**[18:17] ---**
It must have been abandoned
for upward of a decade.
**[18:20] ---**
Not long after the new emperor ascended,
**[18:23] ---**
he confiscated the ill-gotten wealth
of the nobles behind the Great Rebellion,
**[18:26] ---**
and redistributed it.
**[18:28] ---**
When that happened,
the royalists started disposing of the nobles
**[18:33] ---**
as a way to pocket a larger
share of the spoils.
**[18:36] ---**
The baron who owned this place
was likely no exception.
**[18:38] ---**
So in the end, everyone's
still warring for money.
**[18:42] ---**
Still, you really know everything, don't you?
**[18:45] ---**
It's just secondhand knowledge.
**[18:48] ---**
This place doesn't look very livable.
**[18:50] ---**
Why did they set up a sentry outpost here?
**[18:53] ---**
There are still a few villages in the area
formerly under the baron.
**[18:58] ---**
They're probably trying to squeeze them dry.
**[19:00] ---**
Dammit... We'll chase them out of here.
**[19:02] ---**
No. We may have more men now,
but not enough to take an outpost.
**[19:07] ---**
We'll have the Aegis attack the sentries.
**[19:09] ---**
The Aegis... You mean the guerrillas?
**[19:11] ---**
I'll try making contact with them.
**[19:23] ---**
Looks like you're having
a hard time meeting them.
**[19:26] ---**
I'll find them next time.
**[19:28] ---**
You should get some rest.
**[19:30] ---**
I'm fine.
**[19:33] ---**
It's been a while since we've had
the chance to talk like this.
**[19:36] ---**
Makes me miss the old lady's tea.
**[19:39] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:40] ---**
It really warmed you up.
**[19:44] ---**
Sorry, I gave the last of the tea
we had to people who weren't doing well.
**[19:49] ---**
It's fine.
**[19:50] ---**
Though it'd be nice if we
secured more supplies soon.
**[19:53] ---**
I went to a nearby village.
**[19:55] ---**
They'd been plundered by the patrol unit
and couldn't spare anything.
**[19:59] ---**
It's to be expected.
**[20:00] ---**
We need to drive them out
of that abandoned city soon...
**[20:13] ---**
Phew... Just like the rumors say.
**[20:15] ---**
It really is freezing around you guys.
**[20:20] ---**
Yetis.
**[20:22] ---**
Infected?
**[20:24] ---**
Yes.
**[20:25] ---**
Why are you wearing the
uniform of an Ursus officer?
**[20:27] ---**
I've come up with a lot of lies for that.
**[20:30] ---**
Any preference?
**[20:31] ---**
All units, take aim.
**[20:33] ---**
Hold on!
**[20:34] ---**
I came here asking for your cooperation!
**[20:36] ---**
I can help you, too!
**[20:39] ---**
Help us?
**[20:40] ---**
Can you hear me out, at least?
**[20:42] ---**
No.
**[20:44] ---**
If I'm able to melt your ice,
would you be willing to listen?
**[20:48] ---**
You can't.
**[20:50] ---**
Well,
**[20:51] ---**
we won't know unless we try.
**[21:13] ---**
She actually melted her ice...
**[21:15] ---**
She's strong...
**[21:19] ---**
What's your name?
**[21:21] ---**
It's Talulah.
**[21:22] ---**
Talulah, I'll hear what you have to say.
**[21:24] ---**
Huh? Sis?
**[21:25] ---**
It was a promise.
**[21:33] ---**
We're calling on the Infected to come together
to fight for our right to live.
**[21:40] ---**
This is a list of Infected
we're already cooperating with.
**[21:45] ---**
"Reunion Movement"...
**[21:49] ---**
It's the name of our movement.
**[21:52] ---**
We have compatriots outside the snowfield.
**[21:54] ---**
We aren't alone.
**[21:57] ---**
FrostNova, I want you to join us.
**[22:02] ---**
Together,
**[22:03] ---**
let's create a future for the Infected.

**[00:04] ---**
Eno and Sasha, you two
really love reading, huh?
**[00:08] ---**
Yep.
**[00:09] ---**
Eno's smart. He teaches me a lot of stuff.
**[00:15] ---**
Talulah!
**[00:17] ---**
Hey.
**[00:17] ---**
It's not often that you
pay a visit to the school.
**[00:20] ---**
Figured I'd stop by.
**[00:22] ---**
It's written all over your face.
**[00:23] ---**
"I'm in trouble! Help me, Alina!"
**[00:26] ---**
Right?
**[00:27] ---**
Can't hide anything from you.
**[02:01] ---**
It's nice, just watching
everyone living their lives.
**[02:05] ---**
Yes, it's my job to.
**[02:08] ---**
How are those two doing?
**[02:09] ---**
It won't be easy for them to
fit in, but they're good kids.
**[02:14] ---**
They're doing a lot better
than when they first got here.
**[02:16] ---**
I see.
**[02:18] ---**
Sorry about this all of a sudden.
**[02:20] ---**
It's no problem.
**[02:22] ---**
Is this Yelena's?
**[02:23] ---**
Yeah, I burned a hole
through it during training.
**[02:27] ---**
She was really mad about it.
**[02:30] ---**
We nearly got into a duel
to the death over it.
**[02:32] ---**
You seem upset.
**[02:34] ---**
Is it about Buldrokkas'tee?
**[02:37] ---**
He still hasn't accepted me.
**[02:40] ---**
The guerrillas are likely
only working with us
**[02:43] ---**
on account of how many unarmed
Infected there are here.
**[02:49] ---**
What happened to the
always-confident Talulah?
**[02:52] ---**
Has it already been two
years since you met Yelena?
**[02:56] ---**
Our lives here have gotten so much better.
**[02:58] ---**
Have you noticed how the kids'
eyes light up when they see you?
**[03:02] ---**
What do you mean?
**[03:03] ---**
Some kids look up to "FrostNova the Fighter,"
**[03:07] ---**
but others want to grow up to
be just like "Talulah the Hero."
**[03:10] ---**
Give me a break. I hate being
called things like that.
**[03:13] ---**
It's living proof that you
made the right decision.
**[03:17] ---**
Yeah...
**[03:19] ---**
That said, we can't live here forever.
**[03:22] ---**
We have to go south.
**[03:24] ---**
We can't.
**[03:25] ---**
There are still many Infected
suffering here in the snowfields.
**[03:29] ---**
Of course. I'm not going to abandon them.
**[03:31] ---**
But if we just stay here,
nothing is going to change.
**[03:35] ---**
We need to reach out to even more Infected,
**[03:37] ---**
and let them know that they're not alone.
**[03:41] ---**
All we're doing here is sucking
the land here and exhaust—
**[03:43] ---**
Talulah.
**[03:44] ---**
Beyond the snowfield lies Ursus's
overwhelming military might.
**[03:48] ---**
The patrol unit is nothing
compared to the army.
**[03:52] ---**
I don't want to send my brothers
to a meaningless death.
**[03:56] ---**
The Infected don't have long to live.
**[03:58] ---**
Who knows how long it'll take to unite—
**[03:59] ---**
That's exactly why.
**[04:01] ---**
There's fertile land and
resources to the south.
**[04:03] ---**
Better land will give us a better future.
**[04:06] ---**
It's for the future of the Infected,
and for those who come after us.
**[04:09] ---**
Even if we won't live long enough
to see it come to fruition,
**[04:13] ---**
we can leave hope for
the generations to come.
**[04:16] ---**
Let's find somewhere we can all call home.
**[04:19] ---**
A place where we can live like
people, until the very end.
**[04:24] ---**
Dad?
**[04:26] ---**
It's time.
**[04:27] ---**
Let's go.
**[04:31] ---**
Follow your orders and evacuate!
**[04:33] ---**
Hurry!
**[04:34] ---**
Are you just going to sit there?
**[04:36] ---**
You darned white rabbit...
**[04:38] ---**
You froze me without a second thought.
**[04:41] ---**
That should tell you how
much I trust your flames.
**[04:47] ---**
*Dad, we've led the enemy away
and evacuated the targets.*
**[04:50] ---**
Shit... Damned Infected...
**[04:52] ---**
Hey, no way... Is that...?
**[04:56] ---**
Have you seen my father's witchcraft before?
**[05:05] ---**
I appreciate your help, sir.
**[05:07] ---**
I will be checking for survivors.
**[05:10] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[05:11] ---**
Talulah.
**[05:13] ---**
I recognize that your plan has merit.
**[05:17] ---**
But all it will do is
hasten everyone's deaths.
**[05:20] ---**
By uniting with the Infected of the south,
we'll build up more strength.
**[05:24] ---**
When the Empire turns its gaze to the Infected,
you will bear the brunt.
**[05:28] ---**
I don't want them to unite under ME.
**[05:30] ---**
I want them to unite under a philosophy.
**[05:32] ---**
Philosophy?
**[05:33] ---**
Those are but fantasies
until put into practice.
**[05:36] ---**
The snowfields still have mines,
**[05:38] ---**
and with their garrisons,
we'll have resources.
**[05:41] ---**
If we head south, we lose all this and will
simply be crushed under the armor of Ursus.
**[05:45] ---**
The resources here are running out.
**[05:47] ---**
And it's only a matter of time
before we draw the Empire's gaze.
**[05:50] ---**
We have no future in the snowfield.
**[05:52] ---**
You seek a new battlefield?
**[05:54] ---**
No, what I'm seeking is a chance of victory.
**[05:57] ---**
As we are, all that await us is a slow death.
**[06:00] ---**
You must understand—
**[06:01] ---**
I...
**[06:03] ---**
won't be convinced by one
who has never lost hope,
**[06:05] ---**
and only spouts empty, armchair strategy.
**[06:10] ---**
Talulah? Where are you going?
**[06:19] ---**
S-Sorry...
**[06:21] ---**
Stay back!
**[06:23] ---**
One step, and I'll shoot!
**[06:24] ---**
How long has it been since you ate?
**[06:26] ---**
Shut up. Now get lost!
**[06:29] ---**
You're shivering.
**[06:30] ---**
She's an Infected.
**[06:32] ---**
With my Arts—
**[06:33] ---**
No!
**[06:34] ---**
Don't use your... Arts?
**[06:37] ---**
It's warmer now, isnt it?
**[06:40] ---**
Who are you?
**[06:41] ---**
An Infected, just like you two.
**[06:45] ---**
So warm.
**[06:46] ---**
So that's when you met them.
**[06:49] ---**
It was about the only good
thing to come out of it.
**[06:52] ---**
Hey, Alina, why don't you join our squad?
**[06:55] ---**
Maybe *you* could convince Patriot.
**[06:57] ---**
Haven't I told you?
**[06:58] ---**
My Arts would be useless in battle,
**[07:01] ---**
and I don't want to hurt anyone.
**[07:03] ---**
You don't regret leaving the
village with me, do you?
**[07:06] ---**
I wanted to go with you.
**[07:08] ---**
And there was only one reason.
**[07:10] ---**
Do you remember what it is you wanted to do?
**[07:13] ---**
I've always been striving to
create a future for the Infected.
**[07:17] ---**
That's not what you said back then.
**[07:19] ---**
Hey, Talulah.
**[07:21] ---**
Once you make a place for the Infected,
**[07:23] ---**
what will you do with the non-Infected?
**[07:24] ---**
Huh?
**[07:25] ---**
Will they be quarantined?
**[07:26] ---**
Will you infect all of them?
**[07:28] ---**
Well...
**[07:29] ---**
Conversely, if you cured us all of Oripathy,
**[07:32] ---**
we would no longer be Infected.
**[07:33] ---**
But there would still be those who remember
being Infected and those who don't, right?
**[07:37] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:38] ---**
Even without Oripathy, would our
lives really go back to normal?
**[07:43] ---**
Probably not...
**[07:45] ---**
We wouldn't be able to
go back to our old lives.
**[07:48] ---**
It's only natural for the
Infected to seek equality.
**[07:51] ---**
If these lands won't give it to us,
**[07:53] ---**
we'll have to take it ourselves.
**[07:55] ---**
You're really brave.
**[07:57] ---**
Don't make fun of me.
**[07:58] ---**
I'm not.
**[08:00] ---**
But you're right.
**[08:01] ---**
Everyone who struggles against
a fate forced on them is brave.
**[08:05] ---**
So you think of our fate as a bad thing?
**[08:07] ---**
Yeah, I suppose.
**[08:08] ---**
But seeing how I can sit here like this and
talk to you, or teach the children here,
**[08:15] ---**
I would say fate has been very kind to me.
**[08:18] ---**
Don't say that.
**[08:19] ---**
Fate's a jealous one.
**[08:21] ---**
Talking about that stuff is just
tempting it to take them away.
**[08:24] ---**
Well, I don't really believe in fate.
**[08:27] ---**
What you can rely on are things
you can see, things you can touch.
**[08:31] ---**
Like the snow piling up on the trees,
the smiles on the kid's faces,
**[08:34] ---**
this cloak and the candlelight,
**[08:36] ---**
the needle and thread, too.
**[08:38] ---**
But, right...
**[08:40] ---**
If you ever lost all of this,
right before your eyes,
**[08:43] ---**
would you still be able to
fight against fate, all alone?
**[08:46] ---**
I would never bow my head.
**[08:48] ---**
That's something I learned from Patriot.
**[08:50] ---**
Silly, that's just the way *he* lives.
**[08:53] ---**
What *you* should do is forget, give
up, forgive yourself, and move on.
**[08:59] ---**
How could anyone so easygoing
ever achieve anything?
**[09:03] ---**
I think you've become an outstanding leader,
**[09:06] ---**
but compared to before, your words
have become a lot shallower.
**[09:10] ---**
"Before"?
**[09:11] ---**
"If justice comes with sacrifices,
can you really call it just?"
**[09:15] ---**
That never left my mind.
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, Talulah?
**[09:18] ---**
Do you really think that once you've
eliminated all the enemies in sight, you'll have won?
**[09:23] ---**
That's wrong. It's only when you start
fighting the enemies you *can't* see,
**[09:26] ---**
that your battle has truly begun.
**[09:28] ---**
A battle against the ill will and
malice rooted in these lands.
**[09:33] ---**
Right, and you might never defeat them.
**[09:36] ---**
Will the fight go on in spite of that?
**[09:39] ---**
Maybe it's not all that different
from standing up to fate.
**[09:42] ---**
In the end, as long as people won't lay
down their blades, conflict will never end.
**[09:46] ---**
But it's only right to take up arms to
fight discrimination and inequality.
**[09:50] ---**
"Our war is a war against the ego."
**[09:53] ---**
I read that in a book somewhere.
**[09:56] ---**
It's one of my favorite quotes.
**[09:58] ---**
What to do with a weapon is
up to the person holding it.
**[10:02] ---**
That's why, just as you'll
never lay down your sword...
**[10:06] ---**
You'll never lay down the needle and thread?
**[10:09] ---**
That's right. I have my own war to fight.
**[10:12] ---**
Okay, that wraps up today's lesson!
**[10:15] ---**
It's done.
**[10:16] ---**
Thanks.
**[10:17] ---**
She must really cherish it.
**[10:19] ---**
I don't think it's the
right size for her, though.
**[10:21] ---**
It looks standard issue.
**[10:24] ---**
Oh...
**[10:25] ---**
I think we might have found one of the
reasons Mr. Patriot keeps fighting.
**[10:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:31] ---**
I'll hand it back to her. Thanks.
**[10:34] ---**
I think you and Buldrokkas'tee
are very much alike.
**[10:38] ---**
You both believe too
strongly in your own ways.
**[10:41] ---**
I can't very well do something
I don't believe in.
**[10:44] ---**
That's also an idea that
Kashchey planted in you.
**[10:48] ---**
But I'm still a bit confident.
**[10:50] ---**
We probably can't completely
wipe out that idea,
**[10:52] ---**
but as long as I'm by your side,
**[10:54] ---**
I know I can pull you back.
**[10:55] ---**
Alina...
**[10:56] ---**
Our war against the ego start
with words and language.
**[11:00] ---**
And in order not to lose,
we need to keep learning.
**[11:02] ---**
I have faith that you'll be able
to convince Buldrokkas'tee.
**[11:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:07] ---**
Do you really not want to get
to know the other fighters?
**[11:11] ---**
Once your plan comes to fruition, we'll
naturally get to know each other.
**[11:15] ---**
We're all fighters, just on
different battlefields. Right?
**[11:20] ---**
You're right.
**[11:21] ---**
"Alina the Fighter."
**[11:28] ---**
Hui-chieh
I don't know how much further I have to go.
I can hear the winter feathers chirp every now and then. Is that supposed to mean something? Does it mean spring will be here soon?
It's still very cold here, but it shouldn't be much longer until it warms up.
It's been three weeks. We've finally found two more villages willing to trade with the Infected.
We've set up camp at an abandoned settlement a few kilometers away from them. There's plenty of fuel here to last us a while.
You can't imagine how awful tree bark tastes. I don't ever want to hear the old man tell me how nutritious it is again.
**[11:31] ---**
This is still a test batch...
**[11:33] ---**
I-It's not poisoned!
**[11:35] ---**
Look!
**[11:37] ---**
Hey!
**[11:37] ---**
So spicy!
**[11:42] ---**
See?
**[11:48] ---**
It warms me up.
**[11:50] ---**
Thanks, I'll take them.
**[11:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:54] ---**
Are you okay?
**[11:57] ---**
I figured. A bit too spicy.
**[11:58] ---**
Try to get some rest.
**[12:02] ---**
*The enemy's retreating!*
**[12:04] ---**
*Nice work, everyone!*
**[12:05] ---**
*Now let's confirm the city's status!*
**[12:07] ---**
*It's been dormant for some time,
but it looks like its still mobile.*
**[12:10] ---**
*They left tons of medicines
and supplies, too.*
**[12:12] ---**
Are we moving into this place?
**[12:15] ---**
Yeah, we're going to live on a
nomadic city for the first time.
**[12:18] ---**
Talulah.
**[12:20] ---**
A moment, please?
**[12:22] ---**
That's ridiculous!
**[12:24] ---**
In other words, you want us to split
off from us and take this city?
**[12:27] ---**
With the city, we could fend for ourselves.
**[12:30] ---**
We're no fighters, but we've made
an effort to keep up with you.
**[12:35] ---**
But we're at our limits.
**[12:37] ---**
I bet you coldblooded warriors
don't even fear death.
**[12:40] ---**
Damn you!
**[12:41] ---**
The city is yours.
**[12:42] ---**
Hey, Talulah!
**[12:43] ---**
But I won't stand for any
insult to my friends.
**[12:47] ---**
S-Sorry...
**[12:49] ---**
We'll take a larger share of
the supplies. Is that fine?
**[12:52] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[12:56] ---**
Turn on the comms terminal we
captured from the Ursus Army.
**[13:02] ---**
You should have executed
them, to preserve discipline.
**[13:05] ---**
I couldn't.
**[13:06] ---**
It's your duty.
**[13:07] ---**
They know that city won't last much longer.
**[13:11] ---**
They'll have to cut open a path themselves.
**[13:14] ---**
I don't want to crush that hope of theirs.
**[13:16] ---**
Our relationship wasn't one of
servitude, but a partnership.
**[13:20] ---**
Not everyone here is working
towards the same goal.
**[13:24] ---**
If we exploit their manpower by force,
we'll likely lose their support.
**[13:28] ---**
All for the sake of unit purity, is it?
**[13:30] ---**
I wouldn't have put it like that.
**[13:33] ---**
You are a righteous person.
**[13:35] ---**
Talulah, it's just like you said!
**[13:38] ---**
They tipped off the Ursus
garrison to our location!
**[13:42] ---**
The village's in danger, too.
**[13:44] ---**
We'll abandon that place.
**[13:45] ---**
Have the villagers prepare.
**[13:47] ---**
We'll hold the enemy back.
**[13:48] ---**
Got it!
**[13:50] ---**
Are you disappointed?
**[13:52] ---**
No.
**[13:54] ---**
You don't seem to understand that
you must sometimes make sacrifices.
**[13:59] ---**
Your plan to head south *will* lead to war.
**[14:02] ---**
There *will* be bloodshed.
**[14:04] ---**
Are you waiting for a war to break out
between Ursus and another country?
**[14:10] ---**
I'm not going to sacrifice anyone.
**[14:13] ---**
There is no reason to spill my
brothers-in-arms' blood for order.
**[14:17] ---**
The Infected need to first understand
that their lives are worth something.
**[14:21] ---**
Are you prepared to bear the
tremendous pain to come, then?
**[14:24] ---**
There's no need to.
**[14:25] ---**
To achieve this, things
are bound to be painful.
**[14:28] ---**
There are many I have respected for
their strength and their honesty.
**[14:33] ---**
I can only hope you will be one of them.
**[14:36] ---**
I will keep that in mind.
**[14:38] ---**
You shall decide the fate of the village.
**[14:54] ---**
I win.
**[14:56] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:58] ---**
Nothing.
**[14:59] ---**
Oh, right.
**[15:00] ---**
It's about time you two got new names.
**[15:04] ---**
Names?
**[15:05] ---**
Pseudonyms can help protect you.
**[15:07] ---**
Like how everyone calls Yelena FrostNova?
**[15:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:11] ---**
But you only have one name.
**[15:13] ---**
Well, that's because it'd
be pointless with mine.
**[15:15] ---**
That's not what you just said.
**[15:19] ---**
Right...
**[15:21] ---**
I don't want it to become a symbol
that others blindly follow.
**[15:25] ---**
No one should remember my name.
**[15:28] ---**
Then what should we call you?
**[15:30] ---**
Sorry.
**[15:32] ---**
Just call me Talulah.
**[15:33] ---**
That's a name between friends.
**[15:36] ---**
I want to be your friend.
**[15:39] ---**
I want you to remember me for
the time we spent together.
**[15:44] ---**
*The smallest song I'll sing to you...*
**[15:49] ---**
*Rockabye, in sleep so peaceful...*
**[15:56] ---**
They must have some really painful memories
**[15:59] ---**
if they can't sleep without a lullaby.
**[16:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[16:03] ---**
I heard they started training?
**[16:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:05] ---**
The crossbow might be a great fit for Sasha.
**[16:08] ---**
What about on your end?
**[16:09] ---**
I got in touch with them.
**[16:11] ---**
Lyudmila and Alex.
**[16:13] ---**
They're young, but strong-willed nonetheless.
**[16:16] ---**
They know Chernobog inside out, too.
**[16:18] ---**
That big city, huh?
**[16:20] ---**
It'll be years before we reach it.
**[16:22] ---**
Nope.
**[16:23] ---**
Just sleep a few times, and we're there.
**[16:25] ---**
Tomorrow is always so close.
**[16:29] ---**
I like the sound of that.
**[16:34] ---**
We don't have the supplies to keep moving.
**[16:37] ---**
We won't be able take everyone
here south, will we?
**[16:42] ---**
I have to concede that.
**[16:44] ---**
Talulah, we'll stay here.
**[16:46] ---**
There are Infected who will sell us out.
**[16:49] ---**
Our enemies aren't only
the patrol unit and army.
**[16:50] ---**
Leave the snowfields to us.
**[16:53] ---**
We'll keep fighting until
your ideals come true.
**[16:59] ---**
If anyone can, it's you.
**[17:01] ---**
Of course. We're from your squad.
**[17:05] ---**
Everyone.
**[17:06] ---**
Dinner's ready—
**[17:07] ---**
Hey! We've got booze!
**[17:09] ---**
Let's drink up!
**[17:09] ---**
You've had too much to drink.
**[17:12] ---**
Seems this will be our last dinner together.
**[17:22] ---**
I see you haven't stopped
writing your sister.
**[17:25] ---**
Letters you don't send are
nothing more than a diary.
**[17:29] ---**
I want to meet her someday.
**[17:33] ---**
Alina.
**[17:34] ---**
This is still a long ways off, but I'm thinking
about putting together an education group.
**[17:39] ---**
That sounds wonderful.
**[17:41] ---**
And I want you to be its leader.
**[17:44] ---**
Am I really the right person for that?
**[17:46] ---**
You're a lot more popular than me.
**[17:49] ---**
It wouldn't be hard to introduce
you to the fighters.
**[17:51] ---**
Well... As long as I won't
have to give a speech.
**[17:54] ---**
Oh? I can hear the applause already.
**[17:58] ---**
Sheesh, stop teasing me.
**[18:04] ---**
Are you heading out?
**[18:05] ---**
Yes, to the village to the east.
They're still willing to trade us food there.
**[18:10] ---**
I'll have someone escort you.
**[18:11] ---**
I don't want them to be alarmed.
I'll go alone.
**[18:14] ---**
But...
**[18:16] ---**
Don't worry.
**[18:18] ---**
I'll be back by lunchtime.
**[18:19] ---**
Be careful.
**[18:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:23] ---**
Execute them.
**[18:24] ---**
Wait!
**[18:25] ---**
It's my fault that I
couldn't meet their needs.
**[18:28] ---**
If you let that be an excuse,
they'll just steal our food again.
**[18:32] ---**
In that case, let's exile them.
**[18:34] ---**
Very well.
**[18:35] ---**
Give them enough rations for a week.
**[18:37] ---**
Absolutely not!
**[18:39] ---**
Take them away!
**[18:40] ---**
Talulah! It's the patrol unit!
**[18:41] ---**
They're investigating the village
to the west that's traded with us!
**[18:45] ---**
Let's evacuate to the backup hideout
until Patriot's team gets back!
**[18:48] ---**
Take only the non-combatants.
**[18:49] ---**
We'll divert the enemy and take them down!
**[18:52] ---**
The Fourth Army is just ten kilometers away!
**[18:54] ---**
We should retreat!
**[18:55] ---**
That village didn't sell us out, did they?
**[19:00] ---**
Probably not...
**[19:01] ---**
If they're raided simply because
they helped the Infected,
**[19:03] ---**
then no one will ever trade with us again.
**[19:06] ---**
Got it.
**[19:07] ---**
Prepare for combat!
**[19:08] ---**
You guys, standby here.
**[19:10] ---**
Roger!
**[19:16] ---**
Is everyone okay?
**[19:17] ---**
*Yeah! Great work! It's just...*
**[19:20] ---**
*The kids are making a fuss,
saying their teacher's not back yet.*
**[19:24] ---**
Talulah.
**[19:25] ---**
We found the rest of the patrol unit—
**[19:27] ---**
Where?!
**[19:28] ---**
Headed for the village to the east.
**[19:30] ---**
H-Hey!
**[19:52] ---**
Ta...lulah?
**[19:56] ---**
Alina...
**[19:57] ---**
Hang in there! I'll stop the bleeding.
**[20:01] ---**
I didn't... want you to see me like this.
**[20:04] ---**
Don't talk!
**[20:06] ---**
Even though... I traded for those...
**[20:10] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[20:11] ---**
Who did this?!
**[20:13] ---**
Was it the patrol unit?! The villagers?!
**[20:15] ---**
I won't tell you.
**[20:18] ---**
Was it the Infected we exiled?!
**[20:20] ---**
Those bastards... I'll burn them to ash!
**[20:24] ---**
Talulah, you won't hate anyone...
You said that, right?
**[20:29] ---**
How can I not?!
**[20:31] ---**
Don't let yourself be bound by hatred...
**[20:35] ---**
or you'll be swallowed up by Kashchey.
**[20:39] ---**
I'm so worried.
**[20:41] ---**
If I'm not here, who will watch over you—
**[20:45] ---**
No! I don't want you gone!
**[20:49] ---**
"We met... so that we could
part one day", right?
**[20:53] ---**
No! Not like this!
**[20:57] ---**
The children... especially Eno...
**[21:01] ---**
We'll look after them together.
**[21:04] ---**
It's warm...
**[21:06] ---**
Snow is warmer than I ever imagined.
**[21:08] ---**
No, Alina! Don't close your eyes!
**[21:11] ---**
It's hot...
**[21:12] ---**
Alina. Alina!
**[21:13] ---**
It's getting hot... Talulah...
**[21:15] ---**
We'll be there soon...
**[21:17] ---**
We're almost there!
**[21:18] ---**
I don't want to die...
**[21:20] ---**
I don't...
**[21:22] ---**
want to die yet.
**[21:27] ---**
Alina!
**[21:28] ---**
Alina!
**[21:31] ---**
Talulah, please...
**[21:36] ---**
You must...
**[21:38] ---**
live on...
**[21:48] ---**
Hey, Talulah's back!
**[21:53] ---**
Treat the wounded.
**[21:55] ---**
Hey, Talulah! Wait!
**[21:57] ---**
Stop.
**[21:58] ---**
Let her go.

**[00:04] ---**
What's wrong?
**[00:05] ---**
Nothing. I'm fine.
**[00:07] ---**
Let's go.
**[00:09] ---**
Wait!
**[00:11] ---**
The engineering team has found traces
of the Ursus Army in the core city.
**[00:16] ---**
There's no way...
**[00:18] ---**
The enemy's coming.
**[00:19] ---**
Are those...
**[00:21] ---**
Piledriver spears?!
**[00:27] ---**
*Not detecting any vital
signs from this organism.*
**[00:31] ---**
*Subject is deceased.*
**[00:34] ---**
All units, equip your protective gear.
**[00:36] ---**
Switch to anti-Arts tactics.
**[00:41] ---**
*Do I... know this place?*
**[00:45] ---**
*It's cold...*
**[00:47] ---**
*I have to go back.*
**[02:22] ---**
That signal...
**[02:23] ---**
Ursus troops in disguise, huh?
**[02:25] ---**
So there's no need for them to hide anymore?
**[02:28] ---**
Take out the snipers!
**[02:29] ---**
Neutralize them!
**[02:32] ---**
I'll break through it soon.
**[02:35] ---**
Stand behind me!
**[02:37] ---**
If you don't have a shield,
take cover and fall back!
**[02:41] ---**
I'll block everything!
**[02:43] ---**
Please advance!
**[02:51] ---**
The enemy's been suppressed.
**[02:54] ---**
Treat the wounded!
**[02:55] ---**
Thanks.
**[02:57] ---**
You all stayed in the army and acted as pawns
for the conspirators, even after the emperor died?
**[03:03] ---**
Pathetic.
**[03:05] ---**
They've likely already sent word
that we've breached the gate.
**[03:09] ---**
There will be reinforcements around the tower.
**[03:12] ---**
I have a request for everyone.
**[03:13] ---**
Could you make sure not a
single enemy makes it through?
**[03:18] ---**
Wait, you mean...
**[03:19] ---**
Amiya, are you thinking of going alone?
**[03:21] ---**
You can't...!
**[03:23] ---**
No, I'll have my squad accompany me partway.
**[03:27] ---**
I'll fight Talulah alone.
**[03:30] ---**
You're no match for her, Cautus.
**[03:31] ---**
You're not the Captain.
**[03:33] ---**
Numbers are meaningless against someone like
her. We'd only increase the casualties.
**[03:38] ---**
However, with my power...
**[03:41] ---**
With the Arts I used to stop
Patriot, I'll be on equal footing.
**[03:47] ---**
Take me with you!
**[03:48] ---**
Let me fight with you!
**[03:51] ---**
She killed Ace!
**[03:53] ---**
She killed my family!
**[03:56] ---**
You hate Talulah.
**[03:58] ---**
Is that weird? Is that not okay?
**[04:01] ---**
No one can deny your hate.
**[04:05] ---**
But there are things that you must accomplish.
**[04:10] ---**
Patriot rarely called anyone by race,
preferring titles or symbols... right?
**[04:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:18] ---**
But he called you a Feline.
**[04:21] ---**
That means he approves of you.
**[04:22] ---**
But he called you a Cautus too.
**[04:26] ---**
What is it that he approved of?
**[04:27] ---**
That I'm a weapon good at killing people?
**[04:31] ---**
You can't find weapons this cute anywhere.
**[04:35] ---**
But you're cuter, Amiya.
**[04:37] ---**
Uh, well... How should I say this?
**[04:42] ---**
It's true that the powers
we possess are really scary.
**[04:46] ---**
But we're still people.
**[04:49] ---**
That's what he was acknowledging.
**[04:51] ---**
Is that like what Lavaca and Bluishsilver said?
**[04:56] ---**
That's right.
**[04:57] ---**
That's why I have an order for you.
**[05:01] ---**
Live, and protect everyone.
**[05:05] ---**
Got it.
**[05:06] ---**
And I ask everyone here this!
**[05:09] ---**
No matter your goal here, there's no
such thing as a necessary sacrifice.
**[05:14] ---**
You need to survive this!
**[05:16] ---**
Yeah!
Roger!
**[05:19] ---**
Guard.
**[05:20] ---**
Tell that to everyone in Reunion, too.
**[05:26] ---**
Yes, Amiya!
**[05:28] ---**
So this is how Rhodes Island does things.
**[05:31] ---**
Reinforcements! Get ready!
**[05:33] ---**
Go, Cautus!
**[05:35] ---**
We'll meet again.
**[05:36] ---**
Definitely!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't die.
**[05:38] ---**
Promise me that, Amiya.
**[05:40] ---**
We'll meet again! Alive!
**[05:47] ---**
She told you not to kill me, right?
**[05:50] ---**
I have no reason to fight you.
**[05:52] ---**
Get lost!
**[05:57] ---**
I won't let anyone get in my way.
**[06:00] ---**
I will kill her.
**[06:04] ---**
Are you wavering, Ch'en Hui-chieh?
**[06:17] ---**
Good work. You'd fit in with our team
much better than with the Cautus.
**[06:23] ---**
Are you recruiting me?
**[06:24] ---**
That won't happen.
**[06:26] ---**
Of course not.
**[06:27] ---**
You people killed the Captain.
**[06:30] ---**
We'll never count you among our ranks.
**[06:32] ---**
Was he your family?
**[06:35] ---**
That's right. But that Cautus said something.
**[06:39] ---**
Something I once heard and
have longed to hear once more.
**[06:44] ---**
Even if we can't be friends,
**[06:46] ---**
we are fighting as one squad right now.
**[06:48] ---**
Right. We'll fight and survive together.
**[06:53] ---**
What is it?
**[06:54] ---**
The enemy!
**[06:57] ---**
That's one big weapon.
**[06:59] ---**
W!
**[07:00] ---**
What are you, Rhodes Island's new bouncer?
**[07:03] ---**
I don't have time to mess around.
**[07:05] ---**
Now get out of the way.
**[07:06] ---**
Wait, you?
**[07:08] ---**
I let you go, and you ended up switching sides?
**[07:11] ---**
Scout's probably turning in
his grave right about now.
**[07:13] ---**
Enough! *You're* the one who
killed him, aren't you?!
**[07:18] ---**
It was you?
**[07:19] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[07:21] ---**
I just helped him by letting Rhodes Island go.
**[07:24] ---**
Frankly, he could've gotten out of
that without a scratch if he wanted.
**[07:28] ---**
He was a top-class warrior, definitely
worth a whole lot more than me.
**[07:33] ---**
So what is it about you guys that was worth
sacrificing himself for? You and that masked monster?!
**[07:40] ---**
You...
**[07:42] ---**
I don't believe you.
**[07:44] ---**
Just because you're stronger doesn't
make you right, white kitty.
**[07:50] ---**
We're on the same side right now.
**[07:53] ---**
Kal'tsit said so herself.
**[07:54] ---**
Are you in a hurry?
**[07:56] ---**
What, can you read minds too, kid?
**[07:59] ---**
Isn't that all the more reason to believe me?
**[08:01] ---**
If I don't kill Talulah soon,
**[08:03] ---**
all my precious underlings are gonna die.
**[08:05] ---**
They aren't the type to give
a shit about dying, after all.
**[08:09] ---**
Alright, that good enough? Now can you move?
**[08:11] ---**
Those wounds... You fought Talulah, didn't you?
**[08:15] ---**
Good eye.
**[08:16] ---**
On your way to get your ass handed to you again?
**[08:18] ---**
Well, if you're so eager to die,
the guerillas won't stop you.
**[08:22] ---**
We can't let even a single person through!
**[08:25] ---**
Make his death mean something, will you?
**[08:28] ---**
What do we do? You decide.
**[08:31] ---**
Do I really have that right?
**[08:33] ---**
I mean, why not?
**[08:34] ---**
Seeing how you're still around
because my old pals let you live.
**[08:40] ---**
Lower your weapons.
**[08:41] ---**
Do we really believe that she helped Amiya?
**[08:45] ---**
Let's trust her.
**[08:47] ---**
Go! And don't ever let me see you again!
**[08:50] ---**
Believe in your luck.
**[08:52] ---**
That way, all of us will still
be alive when this is over.
**[08:57] ---**
*High atmospheric Originium
concentrations detected.*
**[09:02] ---**
*PPE strongly advised.*
**[09:05] ---**
Enemy sighted!
**[09:08] ---**
What is that?
**[09:12] ---**
How could this... happen?
**[09:21] ---**
I'm scared of going home.
**[09:24] ---**
You'd rather stay in the sewers?
**[09:27] ---**
Do you hate me too?
**[09:29] ---**
Huh?
**[09:30] ---**
Because I like to smile?
**[09:32] ---**
No, why would I?
**[09:35] ---**
Because I shouldn't smile.
**[09:37] ---**
That's nonsense. You should
always be smiling, Eno.
**[09:42] ---**
Really?
**[09:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:45] ---**
I've been smiling the whole time.
**[09:47] ---**
Did she do this to you?!
**[09:49] ---**
You told me I could, so I kept smiling.
**[09:54] ---**
The people who hurt you should just die!
**[09:56] ---**
Hey, Sasha, are you not happy?
**[09:59] ---**
I only did what you told me.
**[10:02] ---**
But everyone else is always so
happy when I do what they say.
**[10:06] ---**
That's because your family are all assholes!
**[10:09] ---**
That's right. That's why I had the
Infected kids in town kill them.
**[10:15] ---**
What?
**[10:15] ---**
Look, right now, they're all like chess pieces!
**[10:19] ---**
If I tell them to do something, they do it!
**[10:23] ---**
Sasha!
**[10:25] ---**
I finished all those ugly,
disgusting people off.
**[10:29] ---**
I did a great job, don't you think?
**[10:32] ---**
This one?
**[10:34] ---**
Yep.
**[10:35] ---**
Okay, from now on, you are Mephisto.
**[10:37] ---**
But that doesn't mean "Eno"
is going to disappear.
**[10:40] ---**
You are you.
**[10:41] ---**
Remember. The only person
you can trust is yourself.
**[10:46] ---**
I can trust you, can't I, Leader?
**[10:50] ---**
Yes. I trust you more than anyone too.
**[10:54] ---**
To bring our ideals to fruition,
anyone can be sacrificed.
**[11:02] ---**
*What's up with those shadows?*
**[11:05] ---**
*Oh, right. They looked like they were
freezing to death, so I gave them something.*
**[11:11] ---**
*Huh?*
**[11:13] ---**
*What did I give them?*
**[11:16] ---**
*I feel like someone told me
never to give it to anyone else.*
**[11:21] ---**
*Maybe it wasn't something important?*
**[11:24] ---**
*But if it gets too cold,
I'd probably disappear too.*
**[11:28] ---**
*So it's got to be important to me, I'm sure.*
**[11:33] ---**
*What's up with those shadows over there?*
**[11:37] ---**
*Why did they come here?*
**[11:39] ---**
*What do they want?*
**[11:41] ---**
The dust it is spreading can most
likely immediately transform us
**[11:45] ---**
and any non-Infected into part of the Herd.
**[11:49] ---**
Furthermore, if any of the Sarkaz
soldiers also end up like it...
**[11:53] ---**
The infection will spread explosively.
**[11:56] ---**
We're switching plans to subduing the target.
**[11:59] ---**
We'll stop it here. That said...
**[12:02] ---**
You know that thing?
**[12:04] ---**
Yeah...
**[12:05] ---**
Can we still save him?
**[12:09] ---**
Doctors never give up on saving a life.
**[12:11] ---**
However, for the sake of saving even more lives,
**[12:15] ---**
I sometimes make ruthless decisions.
**[12:18] ---**
That is a fact I cannot deny.
**[12:21] ---**
Let us begin.
**[12:23] ---**
*Mission start.*
**[12:24] ---**
Defenders, Vanguards, take
the Sarkaz in the center.
**[12:27] ---**
Snipers, Casters, attack from the sides.
**[12:30] ---**
Medics, standby in the rear.
**[12:31] ---**
Mon3tr.
**[12:39] ---**
I'm strong! I'll fight forever—
**[12:46] ---**
*I knew it. They're here to take my life.*
**[12:51] ---**
*Life... is precious.*
**[12:55] ---**
*Oh, I see... I shared it with them because
my friends would've done the same.*
**[13:03] ---**
*Friends?*
**[13:04] ---**
Don't do anything like that ever again!
**[13:05] ---**
If that is what you wish for, do it.
**[13:08] ---**
*Do what you really want to do. Not this!*
**[13:10] ---**
Fire!
**[13:11] ---**
*You can do this. I'm sure you will.*
**[13:15] ---**
*Living is painful, but even so...*
**[13:18] ---**
*Just do whatever you want.*
**[13:24] ---**
*Sleep, sleep, go now to rest*
**[13:29] ---**
*Dearest child of mine*
**[13:34] ---**
*Is this...?*
**[13:35] ---**
*Close, close, your littlest eyes*
**[13:40] ---**
*Sweet slumbers to thee*
**[13:46] ---**
It's singing.
**[13:47] ---**
*In dreams, dreams, what do you see?*
**[13:53] ---**
*Trials so fierce and terrible?*
**[13:55] ---**
Get down!
*Trials so fierce and terrible?*
**[13:57] ---**
*Trials so fierce and terrible?*
**[13:59] ---**
*Who will know how you will grow?*
**[14:00] ---**
It hurts...
*Who will know how you will grow?*
**[14:01] ---**
*Who will know how you will grow?*
**[14:01] ---**
Our protective gear can't completely block it...
*Who will know how you will grow?*
**[14:04] ---**
*Who will watch over you?*
**[14:10] ---**
*Lone in the skies hanging high*
**[14:15] ---**
*Whispers the moon*
**[14:20] ---**
*She speaks to show you your fates*
**[14:26] ---**
*Inside a fairy story*
**[14:32] ---**
*Try as you might, she comes*
**[14:34] ---**
Wait!
*Try as you might, she comes*
**[14:35] ---**
*Try as you might, she comes*
**[14:37] ---**
*There is no fleeing her*
**[14:43] ---**
*Deep in the darkest of veils of nighttime*
**[14:47] ---**
He wants to sing.
*Deep in the darkest of veils of nighttime*
**[14:50] ---**
*Deep in the darkest of veils of nighttime*
**[14:51] ---**
*Keen they shine, glittering, deep in her eyes*
**[15:01] ---**
*The smallest song I'll sing to you*
**[15:06] ---**
*Rockabye, in sleep so peaceful*
**[15:11] ---**
*Sway does the cradle of the land*
**[15:17] ---**
*As your little eyes close*
**[15:22] ---**
*The smallest song I'll sing to you*
**[15:27] ---**
*Go, now, to the land of dreams*
**[15:38] ---**
*There until you wake again*
**[15:46] ---**
*Everyone has left me.*
**[15:50] ---**
*I know. They don't like me.*
**[15:54] ---**
*Because I did something bad.*
**[15:56] ---**
I don't want to do anything bad anymore.
**[15:58] ---**
I don't want to get hurt or hurt anybody.
**[16:01] ---**
I don't want either of them.
**[16:03] ---**
*But I need to go.*
**[16:06] ---**
Now I remember.
**[16:08] ---**
Living is painful, but it's a good thing.
**[16:12] ---**
Right, I need to tell everyone.
**[16:16] ---**
We need to do our best... and go forward.
**[16:19] ---**
*Goodbye, the person who sang for me,*
**[16:24] ---**
*Talulah, Sasha...*
**[16:27] ---**
Goodbye, my friends.
**[18:03] ---**
*Target confirmed suppressed.*
**[18:05] ---**
*All activity terminated.*
**[18:09] ---**
Let's go.
**[18:11] ---**
Leave the squad here.
**[18:13] ---**
All units! Standby until we're back!
**[18:37] ---**
This is...
**[18:39] ---**
the room where I woke up.
**[18:48] ---**
The energy supply's cut off.
**[18:51] ---**
That said, the city can likely run a few
more hours with the remaining charge.
**[18:55] ---**
All that's left—
**[18:56] ---**
Amiya will definitely activate
the emergency brakes.
**[19:00] ---**
We should head to the tower—
**[19:01] ---**
Doctor.
**[19:03] ---**
Do you have any thoughts on this place?
**[19:06] ---**
It seems to be from a different
civilization than the city above.
**[19:10] ---**
Twenty years ago, this structure was unearthed.
**[19:15] ---**
It contained a mechanism generating
an unknown form of energy.
**[19:18] ---**
A resource not reliant on Originium...
**[19:20] ---**
Correct.
**[19:22] ---**
To research this sarcophagus, Mayor Boris put
together a large team of scientists, including me.
**[19:29] ---**
Misha and Skullskatterer's father.
**[19:31] ---**
Yes, Sergei was one of them.
**[19:35] ---**
They... all of my students
were good, upstanding people.
**[19:39] ---**
Not one of them approached
the research with ill intent.
**[19:43] ---**
However...
**[19:44] ---**
Abundant resources lead to war...
**[19:46] ---**
To prevent it from being used by the military,
**[19:48] ---**
they resolved to have the sarcophagus sealed.
**[19:51] ---**
As a result, the Ursus Army
ambushed the laboratory,
**[19:55] ---**
and the scientists were killed.
**[19:58] ---**
All their children were taken hostage.
**[20:00] ---**
Sergei, having turned over the data
to the government, was the exception,
**[20:03] ---**
although eventually Crownslayer
got her revenge on him.
**[20:07] ---**
"Revenge"?
**[20:09] ---**
She's the daughter of one of
the other scientists, Ilia.
**[20:12] ---**
She despised Sergei and me, the only survivors.
**[20:15] ---**
So it was you who she was searching for.
**[20:18] ---**
You can't blame her. It was
almost like I killed him.
**[20:23] ---**
In the end, Sergei produced no
meaningful research on his own.
**[20:26] ---**
The sarcophagus continued to supply the
city energy, but was otherwise sealed off.
**[20:30] ---**
Then, three years ago...
**[20:32] ---**
I came to this place once again.
**[20:35] ---**
To place a heavily injured you inside
the sarcophagus for treatment.
**[20:38] ---**
"Injured"?
To place a heavily injured you inside the sarcophagus for treatment.
**[20:39] ---**
The Infected Creature earlier had his
body transformed by the sarcophagus.
**[20:43] ---**
Wait...
The Infected Creature earlier had his body transformed by the sarcophagus.
**[20:44] ---**
You and he yielded completely
different results—
**[20:46] ---**
Wait!
You and he yielded completely different results—
**[20:48] ---**
What happened to me?
**[20:49] ---**
What "treatment"?
**[20:50] ---**
Are you saying you know what the sarcophagus is?
**[20:53] ---**
Was it you?!
**[20:55] ---**
Did you erase my memories?!
**[20:57] ---**
Tell me, Kal'tsit!
**[21:00] ---**
It has no such function.
**[21:02] ---**
Your amnesia was an unforeseen complication.
**[21:05] ---**
Telling you this goes against
Amiya's wishes. However...
**[21:10] ---**
Doctor, I hope you don't feel
uncomfortable because of this.
**[21:14] ---**
I despise you.
**[21:16] ---**
The you before you lost your memories.
**[21:19] ---**
Though it will never happen, I
yearn to take my revenge on you.
**[21:24] ---**
This has to do with that Theresa person, right?
**[21:28] ---**
She... was a dear friend.
**[21:32] ---**
For Amiya and you as well.
**[21:36] ---**
Neither of us can escape from our past.
**[21:39] ---**
You killed Theresa.
**[21:44] ---**
I... don't remember anything...
**[21:47] ---**
Who am I?
**[21:49] ---**
You are the Doctor.
**[21:51] ---**
Just a soul in these vast lands.
**[21:51] ---**
Who's this Doctor?
Just a soul in these vast lands.
**[21:54] ---**
*...ctor.*
**[21:55] ---**
*Doctor...*
**[21:58] ---**
*Doctor.*
**[21:59] ---**
I never thought I would be the
one who didn't want to let go.
**[22:04] ---**
Doctor, the connection between us will
transcend even time and space. I am sure of it.
**[22:10] ---**
Even if the ocean completely boils
away and the atmosphere vanishes,
**[22:14] ---**
even if the moons are pulled into
the vortex of our planet's gravity,
**[22:17] ---**
and even if the sun continues to expand,
swallowing up its children until none can be heard...
**[22:22] ---**
I am sure we will meet again.
**[22:25] ---**
At the end of our civilization, once adorned
by darkness and the brilliance of the stars,
**[22:30] ---**
we will meet once again.
**[22:32] ---**
No matter what happens,
I will wait until that day comes.
**[22:36] ---**
So you must wait for me too.
**[22:39] ---**
Don't ever forget about me.
**[22:44] ---**
Priest...ess...?
**[22:47] ---**
Who's Priestess?
**[22:51] ---**
That is not for me to answer.
**[22:55] ---**
I brought you here to uncover the truth,
**[22:58] ---**
if only a mere fragment of it.
**[23:01] ---**
But I fear.
**[23:04] ---**
I fear your memories will
connect in a different form
**[23:08] ---**
and lead us again to the same outcome.
**[23:12] ---**
Am I... your enemy?
**[23:16] ---**
I made a promise to protect you.
**[23:20] ---**
Can I really believe you?
**[23:23] ---**
I told you.
**[23:25] ---**
I will respect the judgment
of who you are currently.
**[23:29] ---**
Doctor.
**[23:31] ---**
*Please...*
**[23:32] ---**
...log in.

**[00:05] ---**
I... I promised I'd go with her.
**[00:11] ---**
But I got scared...
**[00:13] ---**
I let go of her hand...
**[00:17] ---**
It wasn't your fault.
**[00:18] ---**
Everyone makes mistakes.
**[00:21] ---**
And sometimes, mistakes are unavoidable.
**[00:24] ---**
I made a mistake that led to your
mother despising me her whole life.
**[00:29] ---**
But mistakes can be made right.
**[00:33] ---**
Living properly and correcting your mistakes
are worth striving your whole life for.
**[00:39] ---**
I will bear the consequences
of Talulah's mistake.
**[00:42] ---**
Become stronger, Hui-chieh.
**[00:45] ---**
Will Tal come back if I do?
**[00:49] ---**
You might be able to bring her back.
**[00:51] ---**
Really?
**[00:52] ---**
Yes. Hui-chieh,
**[00:55] ---**
I'll teach you to wield a sword.
**[00:57] ---**
To wield Chi Xiao.
**[01:00] ---**
*What can I do?*
**[01:03] ---**
*The only thing I can do...*
**[01:06] ---**
*"As move unsheathing blade,
cleave now as cleft."*
**[01:10] ---**
Chenchen, how's about ye join
the polis when ye grow up?
**[01:13] ---**
The police?
**[01:14] ---**
They're heroes all about punishin' evil!
**[01:17] ---**
You'll fit in just fine, aye!
**[01:18] ---**
I'm sure you'll be a great policewoman,
**[01:21] ---**
and you'll find your missin'
mate afore you know it!
**[01:25] ---**
Let's give it our best and
help some folks out, Chenchen!
**[01:31] ---**
*Teach by example.
What has that turned me into?*
**[01:36] ---**
*"As move at teardrop's
point, once known be deft."*
**[01:41] ---**
Sorry, Ch'en. I couldn't block everything.
**[01:44] ---**
I need you to stay in the
force. As for the rest—
**[01:47] ---**
Wait!
**[01:49] ---**
The L.G.D. needs you!
**[01:51] ---**
Stop dreaming, Ch'en.
**[01:53] ---**
I love this city, but there's nowhere
that truly accepts the Infected.
**[01:58] ---**
Lungmen will change!
We'll change it together!
**[02:02] ---**
Then prove it to me.
**[02:04] ---**
Prove that this is a city for all people...
**[02:07] ---**
before Oripathy takes my life.
**[02:11] ---**
*What have I lost from always pushing forward?*
**[02:18] ---**
*"As sword ere shadow's
trace, cast off as cast."*
**[02:23] ---**
Now *you're scared, Ch'en Hui-chieh?*
**[02:28] ---**
What I must accomplish...
was decided long ago.
**[02:34] ---**
You came here even knowing it was a trap?
**[02:36] ---**
Yeah, and it proves that you
are truly beyond redemption.
**[02:41] ---**
Now I can kill you without
the slightest hesitation.
**[02:45] ---**
Let's end this, Talulah!
**[02:48] ---**
"As sword of stratus rent, once stood stand fast..."
**[02:48] ---**
*As sword of stratus rent, once stood stand fast!*
**[02:55] ---**
Madame Ch'en...
**[04:27] ---**
Thanks to all of your efforts,
we've made it this far.
**[04:32] ---**
I'm going to stop Talulah,
and I'm going to come back.
**[04:35] ---**
Let's go home to Rhodes Island together.
**[04:38] ---**
Yes!
**[04:44] ---**
Stratus rent... They face each other...
**[04:48] ---**
*When will I use them, then?*
**[04:51] ---**
*You will know.*
**[04:54] ---**
When you feel from the bottom of your heart
**[04:57] ---**
that you have no other choice,
use the rings' powers.
**[05:02] ---**
Madame Ch'en, we need to know the truth.
**[05:06] ---**
Please, let me have just one more glimpse...
**[05:11] ---**
into the truth behind Talulah.
**[05:14] ---**
You okay?
**[05:17] ---**
Why do you ask?
**[05:18] ---**
You've been pretty gloomy lately.
**[05:20] ---**
And getting worse the past few m—
**[05:22] ---**
I'm fine.
**[05:23] ---**
Talulah!
**[05:24] ---**
It's an emergency signal from the recon team!
**[05:28] ---**
Hurry! Call for Sis—
**[05:33] ---**
Why?
**[05:34] ---**
What is an Ursus imperial guard doing here?!
**[05:37] ---**
To think the Shieldguards have
joined forces with this rabble...
**[05:41] ---**
Get in formation!
**[05:43] ---**
Give him an opening, and you're dead!
**[05:45] ---**
We once both fought in the name of Ursus,
**[05:47] ---**
yet now you choose to
stand against us with the Infected?
**[05:51] ---**
How foolish.
**[05:55] ---**
Talulah!
**[05:57] ---**
"The Emperors' Blades"...
**[05:59] ---**
We've been looking for you,
**[06:01] ---**
Daughter of Duke Kashchey.
**[06:03] ---**
Talulah's... the daughter of a duke?
**[06:06] ---**
The Snake is dead! Who sent you here?!
**[06:11] ---**
All units, form up!
**[06:12] ---**
He may be an Emperor's Blade,
but there's only one of him.
**[06:15] ---**
Talulah, as per the vow
we made with your father,
**[06:19] ---**
we shall assess you as his successor.
**[06:22] ---**
Secure an evac route!
**[06:23] ---**
Prioritize your own survival!
**[06:25] ---**
To think you care for your pawns...
**[06:27] ---**
Don't disappoint us, Leader
of the Northern Infected.
**[06:32] ---**
I merely stand with my allies.
**[06:34] ---**
I won't be the ruler you want me to be!
**[06:52] ---**
Get lost!
**[06:59] ---**
Wonderful Arts. However...
**[07:02] ---**
You have nothing but "potential"
and the seed he planted.
**[07:06] ---**
If everything goes as he planned,
then when the time comes,
**[07:12] ---**
we shall lend an ear to what you have to say.
**[07:21] ---**
You seem rather confident in your strength.
**[07:27] ---**
Captain!
**[07:29] ---**
We have no intention of
making an enemy of you, sir.
**[07:33] ---**
You have our respect.
**[07:36] ---**
Former Ursus Captain Buldrokkas'tee.
**[07:39] ---**
It seems there is truth to the
rumors that you were Infected.
**[07:43] ---**
It shouldn't come as a surprise that
I am fighting for the Infected.
**[07:47] ---**
If I may, I believe it is a mistake
for someone of your stature
**[07:50] ---**
to waste your days away in the snowfields.
**[07:52] ---**
You...!
**[07:53] ---**
Please, I ask that you return.
**[07:56] ---**
The Empire needs you.
**[07:58] ---**
Let us return Ursus to its former glory!
**[08:02] ---**
"Glory"?
**[08:03] ---**
Surely you remember.
**[08:06] ---**
The glorious days when everyone, regardless
of race, united under the banner of Ursus!
**[08:12] ---**
Is there a place for the Infected
in that Ursus you wish to forge?
**[08:16] ---**
I can make no guarantees. However,
**[08:20] ---**
if they were to take up arms for Ursus,
**[08:23] ---**
that would be praiseworthy
in spite of their infection.
**[08:28] ---**
I see...
**[08:31] ---**
It would seem the path you walk
is different from Talulah's.
**[08:36] ---**
What I follow now is her aversion to power,
**[08:39] ---**
her search for a justice without
sacrifice. Her ideology.
**[08:46] ---**
Now leave. There is no room for negotiation!
**[08:50] ---**
You don't seem to understand.
**[08:52] ---**
Once she fully matures, her
cunning will exceed even yours.
**[08:58] ---**
The footprints she's left on the snowfields
are proof enough that she
**[09:02] ---**
won't walk the same path as the Snake.
**[09:06] ---**
Farewell, "Patriot".
**[09:09] ---**
Your decision has been truly unfortunate.
**[09:13] ---**
Talulah,
**[09:14] ---**
lead your followers.
**[09:17] ---**
We look forward to your growth.
**[09:24] ---**
Is everything okay here?!
**[09:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:27] ---**
We also fought them—
**[09:29] ---**
Captain, what they said just now...
**[09:31] ---**
We can trust her.
**[09:33] ---**
I guarantee you this.
**[09:35] ---**
Of course! We understand that, but...
**[09:39] ---**
Hey, what is this about?
**[09:42] ---**
It's true.
**[09:43] ---**
I was raised by an Ursus
nobleman to one day take over.
**[09:50] ---**
We can save the details until we're back.
**[09:52] ---**
Talulah.
**[09:54] ---**
As long as you do not disappoint me,
I will support you until the very end.
**[10:00] ---**
My leader...
**[10:03] ---**
I told you not to call me that.
**[10:05] ---**
Everyone, listen up!
**[10:07] ---**
A person's upbringing can't determine—
**[10:08] ---**
White rabbit!
**[10:09] ---**
Hand me a piece of candy.
**[10:12] ---**
Here.
**[10:13] ---**
Thanks.
**[10:15] ---**
Okay, let's pack it up.
**[10:19] ---**
*I wonder when...*
**[10:22] ---**
*When did I stop being able to trust others?*
**[10:28] ---**
*Alina...*
**[10:31] ---**
This is more than enough, Talulah.
**[10:33] ---**
The tractor went missing around here, right?
**[10:36] ---**
Yeah... If you ask me, the patrol
unit probably took them out.
**[10:40] ---**
But they chose to leave,
it's not our problem.
**[10:42] ---**
We don't know that for sure.
**[10:45] ---**
You hurry back to camp.
**[10:47] ---**
Talulah! You don't have to go
this far! We all trust you!
**[10:51] ---**
So, please trust us, too!
**[10:54] ---**
I do. Thanks.
**[10:57] ---**
Hold up! I'm coming too!
**[10:58] ---**
*Please...*
**[10:59] ---**
Don't worry!
**[11:00] ---**
I'm just talking to the locals.
**[11:01] ---**
*Leave me alone...*
**[11:03] ---**
*Just what is it I'm afraid of?*
**[11:05] ---**
Be careful, okay?
**[11:06] ---**
Yeah!
**[11:09] ---**
Looks like a pretty impoverished village.
**[11:12] ---**
Is there no one here?
**[11:15] ---**
No...
**[11:33] ---**
Is this...?
**[11:36] ---**
Originium dust?
**[11:39] ---**
Hey!
**[11:40] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[11:45] ---**
Are you from the military police?
**[11:47] ---**
What is the matter? If this is about
taxes, another officer has already—
**[11:52] ---**
I'm here to investigate the Infected.
**[11:54] ---**
Pardon me?
**[11:55] ---**
We don't have any Infected here—
**[11:57] ---**
Then have any passed through?
**[11:59] ---**
Not once...
**[12:00] ---**
Answer me truthfully.
**[12:04] ---**
My, nothing gets past you.
**[12:08] ---**
Yes, they did pass through. However...
**[12:11] ---**
They were hiding weapons, and threatened us!
**[12:16] ---**
They took what little
food and money we had...
**[12:20] ---**
With the way things are,
we can't pay our taxes for a while.
**[12:23] ---**
Officer, please crack down on that
dreadful Infected filth for us.
**[12:27] ---**
You're lying!
**[12:29] ---**
How could you... How could
you say something like that?!
**[12:32] ---**
What a bunch of nonsense!
**[12:34] ---**
They must've gone through so
much just to make it here.
**[12:38] ---**
They were exhausted, and couldn't
have had the strength to fight!
**[12:43] ---**
You had to have heard them banging
desperately on the door, crying out!
**[12:48] ---**
You're an Infected too, aren't you?
**[12:49] ---**
You could've just killed
them without starving them!
**[12:52] ---**
What?
**[12:53] ---**
They suffered the whole time, until their
bodies turned and crumbled to dust!
**[12:58] ---**
Like hell I care. Things
are tough for us too.
**[13:01] ---**
Where do you Infected get off
talking like you're *people*?
**[13:07] ---**
Well, well.
**[13:08] ---**
I see you knew them. I apologize for that.
**[13:11] ---**
*You will see.*
**[13:14] ---**
*No...*
**[13:15] ---**
*How everything you did turns to nothing.*
**[13:20] ---**
*No.*
**[13:21] ---**
They make me sick.
**[13:22] ---**
*No!*
**[13:22] ---**
They don't deserve to live.
**[13:24] ---**
*No!*
**[13:25] ---**
*You will see.*
**[13:28] ---**
*The true nature of those
who defile life itself.*
**[13:32] ---**
*No...*
**[13:32] ---**
There will be no peace in these lands
while people like you still walk them.
**[13:33] ---**
*No, no, no...*
**[13:37] ---**
*Stop...*
**[13:40] ---**
I...
**[13:42] ---**
*Stop!*
**[13:44] ---**
...hate you.
**[14:00] ---**
My boy! My boy is still...
Hey! Hurry up and run!
**[14:04] ---**
You devil...
**[14:06] ---**
You devil!
**[14:07] ---**
Curse you! I'll curse you to death...
**[14:11] ---**
Curse you for eternity...
**[14:14] ---**
I curse you!
**[14:16] ---**
Die!
**[14:17] ---**
Die! Die!
**[14:37] ---**
Amiya?!
**[14:38] ---**
What...
**[14:40] ---**
is a Cautus doing here?
**[14:54] ---**
You'd protect someone like her?
**[14:56] ---**
I'm disappointed, Hui-chieh.
**[14:58] ---**
Get out of here, Amiya!
**[15:00] ---**
Words won't get through to her!
**[15:01] ---**
She's been tainted by
someone's twisted views—
**[15:03] ---**
No.
**[15:04] ---**
Your sister didn't simply
inherit Kashchey's teachings.
**[15:07] ---**
You know about that?
**[15:09] ---**
I will tear off that mask.
**[15:12] ---**
Mask?
**[15:13] ---**
Cautus of Rhodes Island.
**[15:15] ---**
What kind of death did Buldrokkas'tee choose?
**[15:18] ---**
I'd like to know how a
noble warrior met his end.
**[15:21] ---**
I killed him.
**[15:23] ---**
Hoh...
**[15:24] ---**
I find that hard to believe, but very well.
**[15:27] ---**
The last person who posed
a threat to me is now dead.
**[15:30] ---**
Perhaps I should reward you,
**[15:33] ---**
hypocrite and slaughterer of your own people?
**[15:36] ---**
You're afraid, aren't you?
**[15:38] ---**
Of me... and the power of the King of Sarkaz.
**[15:42] ---**
You've said quite a lot.
**[15:45] ---**
The avatar of evil that's
lived since time immemorial...
**[15:48] ---**
The guardian of Ursus, the
"Deathless Black Snake"...
**[15:52] ---**
No, perhaps I should call
you the Duke of Kashchey?
**[15:56] ---**
Kashchey? The Black Snake?
**[16:00] ---**
Peeking into others' memories?
**[16:03] ---**
What a tasteless hobby,
**[16:04] ---**
Cautus.
**[16:09] ---**
Amiya!
**[16:10] ---**
Talulah has been possessed.
**[16:12] ---**
The Duke of Kashchey has taken
over her body this whole time!
**[16:16] ---**
What?!
**[16:17] ---**
But...!
**[16:18] ---**
I can sense two people's feelings!
**[16:22] ---**
The original Talulah is still alive!
**[16:24] ---**
We can still get her back!
**[16:27] ---**
Amiya! Jump to the side!
**[16:31] ---**
An outblood Lord of Fiends...
**[16:33] ---**
Your predecessor must've lost her mind,
to create such an inferior piece.
**[16:39] ---**
So you can feel only my dread?
**[16:43] ---**
You do not know me, young Lord of Fiends.
**[16:47] ---**
You cannot understand Talulah.
**[16:50] ---**
Then tell me.
**[16:52] ---**
Tell me about the life you led.
**[16:54] ---**
And the mistakes you've made.
**[16:56] ---**
Tell me everything in
your own words, Talulah!
**[17:01] ---**
I will, of course!
**[17:04] ---**
So come to my side, Ch'en!
**[17:07] ---**
I don't want to fight anymore.
I don't want to hurt you!
**[17:12] ---**
It's a trap.
**[17:13] ---**
It's his goal to have
Talulah kill you herself.
**[17:18] ---**
So he can completely break her
spirit and take full control.
**[17:23] ---**
If he doesn't have full control
yet, you can still stop his plan!
**[17:28] ---**
You don't have to keep
sacrificing your own people!
**[17:32] ---**
Fight yourself, Talulah!
**[17:36] ---**
Fight... myself...
**[17:41] ---**
Is my voice not reaching her?
**[17:46] ---**
Madame Ch'en.
**[17:47] ---**
Could you buy me three minutes?
**[17:50] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[17:52] ---**
Mind if I say something, too?
**[17:54] ---**
Do it, Talulah.
**[17:56] ---**
Help me confront my sister once again.
**[17:59] ---**
Kill her.
**[18:01] ---**
My real sister, without Kashchey's shadow.
**[18:06] ---**
And no matter the outcome,
I'll accept all of it.
**[18:11] ---**
I'll make it happen.
**[18:13] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[18:14] ---**
You wish to sever your ties with me?
**[18:21] ---**
The past will never return!
**[18:23] ---**
No matter what happens, we have
no choice but to move forward!
**[18:29] ---**
*They're flowing into me...*
**[18:31] ---**
*Madame Ch'en's emotions...*
**[18:33] ---**
*through the Chi Xiao.*
**[18:36] ---**
*Her rage...*
**[18:38] ---**
*No, it's not just that.*
**[18:42] ---**
*There's so much more...*
**[18:50] ---**
Cautus.
**[18:53] ---**
You were unworthy to kill Buldrokkas'tee.
**[18:56] ---**
He had turned toward the light.
**[18:59] ---**
He put the Sarkaz's blood-soaked darkness behind him
**[19:03] ---**
and sought a new light, one built atop order.
**[19:07] ---**
Yet foolishly, you continue
to look to the dark.
**[19:11] ---**
You continue to fight merely because you
are tied down by those who have passed.
**[19:17] ---**
If the light you're talking about...
**[19:20] ---**
is deception, slaughter,
and spreading harm...
**[19:24] ---**
If the darkness you refer to is to
salvation, sympathy, and the fight for justice...
**[19:31] ---**
Then...
**[19:33] ---**
I'll gladly leap into the darkness
with the power of the Sarkaz!
**[19:36] ---**
My flames will burn through deceit,
**[19:40] ---**
impure Lord of Fiends!
**[19:46] ---**
Amiya!
**[19:48] ---**
Breathe in the scent of a Cautus
being burnt to a crisp...
**[20:07] ---**
*Are my people not allowed to wish for
a home where they can live in peace?*
**[20:13] ---**
*Do the Sarkaz not have the right to live?*
**[20:19] ---**
*Why must they torture us?!*
**[20:23] ---**
*Why must they keep committing these sins?*
**[20:27] ---**
*Are we the ones they should hate?*
**[20:31] ---**
*Do I despise them?*
**[20:35] ---**
*Even without resentment in my heart, I...*
**[20:40] ---**
*have the right to rage on forever!*
**[20:46] ---**
*If this land will not permit
me to lay down my weapon,*
**[20:52] ---**
*then I can only continue to fight
until the end of time itself!*
**[20:58] ---**
*Rage. Rage.*
**[21:03] ---**
As move unsheathing blade,
cleave now as cleft!
**[21:04] ---**
*At fate, at irrationality,*
**[21:08] ---**
*at this never-ending hatred.*
**[21:10] ---**
As move at teardrop's point,
once known be deft!
**[21:15] ---**
*Let your roar flare far and wide.*
**[21:16] ---**
As sword ere shadow's trace, cast off as cast!
**[21:23] ---**
As sword of stratus rent,
once stood stand fast!
**[21:24] ---**
*Toward all the suffering
and sorrow across the lands.*
**[21:36] ---**
What?
**[21:46] ---**
Hatred has blinded you.
**[21:50] ---**
So much so that you've lost
sight of even yourself.
**[21:53] ---**
Talulah,
**[21:54] ---**
you have yet to pluck yourself
out of that raging fire.
**[22:00] ---**
I can't let you...
**[22:02] ---**
hurt the people of these lands anymore!

**[00:02] ---**
Does this mean we can't
go home anymore?
**[00:05] ---**
It's okay.
**[00:07] ---**
The dragon lady is on it.
**[00:10] ---**
Yeah, we'll go back for sure.
**[00:12] ---**
The rat grandpa said
so himself, didn't he?
**[00:16] ---**
Needn't even wield the actual
sword anymore, eh?
**[00:18] ---**
You've grown old, Lin Kojui.
**[00:20] ---**
Yeah. *Our*
time is over, Wei.
**[00:24] ---**
You would sit by and watch
two sisters kill each other?!
**[00:27] ---**
They won't make the same
mistake you and Edward did.
**[00:30] ---**
You old coot—
**[00:31] ---**
You have no business
meddling in this!
**[00:35] ---**
The city will soon enter
the range of Lungmen's cannons.
**[00:39] ---**
Let's go.
**[00:40] ---**
No, we should bear witness...
**[00:44] ---**
As to whether those
Infected can handle matters.
**[00:55] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[00:58] ---**
Deep breaths!
**[00:59] ---**
There are too many of them.
**[01:00] ---**
The medics are at their limits too...
**[01:02] ---**
*Rosmontis,
can you still move?*
**[01:04] ---**
Doctor.
**[01:05] ---**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[01:06] ---**
*Good. Analyze the enemy,
and form a barricade.*
**[01:09] ---**
*Adjust our units' positions
per my instructions.*
**[01:12] ---**
Okay.
**[01:13] ---**
Help me.
**[01:14] ---**
Yeah!
**[01:14] ---**
Everyone! Help us out!
**[01:17] ---**
Subtly pull back our forces!
**[01:22] ---**
*Now.*
**[01:22] ---**
Grab...
**[01:23] ---**
and cut!
**[01:27] ---**
*Suppress the isolated
enemies!*
**[01:30] ---**
Fire! Fire!
**[01:35] ---**
Is everyone okay?
**[01:36] ---**
Yeah. Thanks for that, Commander.
**[01:41] ---**
This will buy us some time.
**[01:42] ---**
Good work, Rosmontis.
**[01:44] ---**
All that's left is—
**[01:44] ---**
Doctor.
**[01:46] ---**
You're worried about Amiya,
aren't you?
**[01:48] ---**
But...
**[01:49] ---**
Go.
**[01:50] ---**
You too, Dr. Kal'tsit.
I'll hold the line here.
**[01:55] ---**
Thanks.
**[01:56] ---**
Let's go, Kal'tsit!
**[01:59] ---**
I will need to remove
my rings in this operation.
**[02:02] ---**
You may not.
**[02:03] ---**
Your life, too, is irreplaceable.
**[02:05] ---**
I know Theresa didn't
leave me a tool for murder.
**[02:10] ---**
These are meant to be used
when I need to help someone.
**[02:14] ---**
A blade is a blade.
**[02:15] ---**
It *will* cut you.
**[02:16] ---**
I'm not afraid of that.
Wounds can be healed.
**[02:19] ---**
After all, I'm a person, not a weapon.
**[02:23] ---**
"Who can prove that you and I
are not a kind of weapon?"
**[02:27] ---**
*But you've grown up.*
**[02:29] ---**
*Your decisions
are your own.*
**[02:31] ---**
What's that sword...?
**[02:34] ---**
Quite the wicked
weapon you've chosen.
**[02:36] ---**
You are indeed the Lord of
the Sarkaz... the enemy of humanity.
**[02:40] ---**
No, I'm nothing but an
ordinary Infected. A person!
**[02:45] ---**
So you saw my memories?
**[02:46] ---**
I've learned all your
sword techniques.
**[02:49] ---**
What did I spend all that
time training for then?
**[02:53] ---**
Fine. Just forget
everything else you saw.
**[02:56] ---**
Kashchey, the only
wicked one here is you!
**[02:59] ---**
The wielder's will decides
the worth of a weapon.
**[03:01] ---**
If we share the same fury,
then so too do our swords!
**[03:06] ---**
Handling the Chi Xiao isn't
about technique, but spirit!
**[03:10] ---**
Let's do this, Amiya!
**[03:11] ---**
Yes!
**[03:43] ---**
Pain, huh?
**[03:45] ---**
How terribly nostalgic.
**[03:46] ---**
He didn't even flinch...
**[03:48] ---**
No, we managed to harm him.
If we keep it up—
**[03:50] ---**
Are you happy?
**[03:52] ---**
For injuring your
own sister, Hui-chieh?
**[03:57] ---**
Don't you dare call me that!
**[03:58] ---**
Madame Ch'en!
**[03:59] ---**
Kill me...
**[04:01] ---**
Release me from this!
**[04:03] ---**
Talulah?
**[04:05] ---**
I can't take this...
**[04:07] ---**
I could never possibly
wish to kill you...
**[04:10] ---**
But I hate.
**[04:12] ---**
I hate you, these lands, all of it.
**[04:16] ---**
I can't take it anymore, Hui-chieh.
**[04:19] ---**
Why did you break your promise?
**[04:22] ---**
I kept crying out for you,
**[04:24] ---**
but you never came for me!
**[04:27] ---**
It was your betrayal!
**[04:29] ---**
That's what changed me!
**[04:31] ---**
Talulah...
**[04:32] ---**
That's not right.
**[04:33] ---**
Those memories are incorrect.
**[04:36] ---**
Did that really happen at night?
**[04:40] ---**
No...
**[04:41] ---**
When that happened...
**[04:43] ---**
the sun was still up.
**[04:46] ---**
Both your memories
have been warped.
**[04:49] ---**
Talulah, he planted
this hatred in you.
**[04:53] ---**
Remember!
**[04:55] ---**
Just how many of your thoughts has
he twisted, and how hard you tried to resist!
**[04:59] ---**
The past you would never have
trampled on your friends' lives like that!
**[05:02] ---**
Shut up...
**[05:03] ---**
This war!
**[05:04] ---**
This tragedy!
**[05:04] ---**
Shut up.
**[05:06] ---**
Shut up!
**[05:06] ---**
Is this really what you want?!
**[05:09] ---**
Shut up!
**[05:10] ---**
Face yourself, Talulah.
**[05:13] ---**
Shut up!
**[05:14] ---**
Chi Xiao - Fleeting Night!
**[05:19] ---**
You have my thanks, Amiya.
**[05:20] ---**
Now I know what
my sister really thinks.
**[05:22] ---**
You've done enough.
I'll end her with my own hands—
**[05:25] ---**
Killing her here is meaningless.
**[05:27] ---**
Her crimes will be determined
when the verdict is handed down.
**[05:31] ---**
You haven't been fighting just
to kill criminals, have you?
**[05:37] ---**
Maybe he was right.
**[05:39] ---**
Maybe I've been seeking salvation
in the murder of my family.
**[05:43] ---**
Talulah will live and face justice.
**[05:48] ---**
Your confidence grates
awfully on my nerves.
**[05:52] ---**
It's not confidence.
It's called responsibility.
**[05:55] ---**
We see our obligations through.
**[05:58] ---**
It's not something a hollow person like yourself
with even a borrowed body could imagine!
**[06:02] ---**
You think you've driven
me into a corner?
**[06:05] ---**
The devil of the snowfields,
the Aegis of the Infected...
**[06:08] ---**
Everyone who could kill me is dead.
**[06:10] ---**
No one can stop my plan now.
**[06:12] ---**
I wouldn't mind keeping up
this meaningless conversation,
**[06:15] ---**
but I can only do what
this body desires.
**[06:20] ---**
My throat... It burns!
**[06:23] ---**
Now keep your mouths shut.
**[06:25] ---**
I shall liberate my powers.
**[06:28] ---**
*I love all the
people of Ursus.*
**[06:31] ---**
*All of them.
Without prejudice.*
**[06:33] ---**
*It has been so for a
thousand years.*
**[06:35] ---**
*Likewise, the land
has always loved them.*
**[06:38] ---**
*To Ursus,
all lives are equal.*
**[06:41] ---**
*And because fate is blind,
countless lives will vanish before me,*
**[06:47] ---**
*and I grieve for them.*
**[06:50] ---**
*Yet they must accept
those hardships,*
**[06:53] ---**
*as hardship is how they
grow stronger.*
**[06:56] ---**
*The glorious nation I admire thirsts
for blood, violence, and death.*
**[07:02] ---**
The Deathless Black Snake!
**[07:05] ---**
*Amiya...*
**[07:06] ---**
*Amiya.*
**[07:08] ---**
*You weep over
the smallest of things,*
**[07:10] ---**
*proclaiming yourselves saviors, but what
can you see from your narrow perspective?*
**[07:13] ---**
*Letting Reunion fall here
is but the beginning of my plans.*
**[07:20] ---**
*Infected.*
**[07:22] ---**
*No one else will treat you
as fairly as Ursus will, as I will.*
**[07:29] ---**
*We know of the depravity of the Ursus people,
yet we have let you live in their shadow.*
**[07:36] ---**
*The late emperor brought
greatness to his subjects,*
**[07:39] ---**
*yet he was unable to bring
happiness to the Infected.*
**[07:43] ---**
*That ends today.*
**[07:45] ---**
*I will bring about new
exaltation and equality.*
**[07:49] ---**
*The Infected may struggle,
but they will live on.*
**[07:54] ---**
*But the people
of Ursus require war.*
**[07:59] ---**
*As time passes,
passion is ousted.*
**[08:01] ---**
*When Ursus becomes incapable
of igniting even the smallest spark,*
**[08:05] ---**
*the country and its people will
become lost in the annals of history.*
**[08:09] ---**
*I will let them restore
their lost dignity.*
**[08:12] ---**
*The same holds true
for the Infected.*
**[08:15] ---**
*Yet why?*
**[08:16] ---**
*For the meager happiness
you have today,*
**[08:19] ---**
*why do you disrupt the peace, glory, and wisdom
that will follow a thousand years hence?*
**[08:23] ---**
*Chi Xiao.*
**[08:24] ---**
*Shadowless.*
**[08:25] ---**
*You are ignorant.*
**[08:27] ---**
*You have never known despair
at the brink of destruction.*
**[08:31] ---**
*If you wish to stand in the way of the return
of Ursus's prosperity and its people's unity,*
**[08:36] ---**
*then try and stop me,
the incarnation of Ursus.*
**[08:50] ---**
*My Arts...*
**[08:54] ---**
This is the end, Kash—
**[08:56] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[08:58] ---**
If this body is unwilling,
I can do nothing.
**[09:01] ---**
Now, I wonder...
**[09:02] ---**
Does she wish to live?
**[09:06] ---**
Put the sword down!
**[09:07] ---**
"Sister", if only I had
succeeded in killing you,
**[09:10] ---**
everything would have gone perfectly.
**[09:12] ---**
What?
**[09:13] ---**
Those unfortunate Infected...
**[09:15] ---**
Stop it.
**[09:16] ---**
All the lives that could have been
meaningful sacrifices in her path
**[09:20] ---**
of conquest have now gone to waste.
**[09:22] ---**
*Don't you dare
mock my people!*
**[09:24] ---**
That was all *your* scheme!
**[09:25] ---**
I simply educated her.
**[09:28] ---**
Like you and Wei, this
is merely a form of parenting.
**[09:31] ---**
*I'm not your daughter!*
**[09:31] ---**
You have the nerve to say that?!
**[09:34] ---**
It's okay.
**[09:36] ---**
Miss Talulah! Please
remember who you really are.
**[09:40] ---**
Remember everyone who fought
because they believed in you.
**[09:43] ---**
You may have made a grave
number of unforgivable mistakes...
**[09:47] ---**
But even so...!
**[09:47] ---**
As the Talulah who stood
up to fate with conviction...!
**[09:51] ---**
No matter how cruel
the lands may be,
**[09:53] ---**
and no matter how many
times you've failed, you...
**[09:56] ---**
*We* must keep walking
the path we believe in, without giving in!
**[10:00] ---**
Is this really what
you set out to achieve?
**[10:03] ---**
Is that all the leader
of the Infected has got?!
**[10:09] ---**
Don't call me that.
**[10:11] ---**
Talulah?
**[10:12] ---**
You *educated* me?
**[10:15] ---**
What about the land, the snowfields,
and all my friends searching for sunlight?
**[10:20] ---**
Do you understand a thing *
they* taught me, Kashchey?!
**[10:24] ---**
I won't become you.
**[10:27] ---**
You think you can escape me?
**[10:30] ---**
There is no room
for you in my sister!
**[10:33] ---**
Now get out!
**[10:36] ---**
My hatred has killed far too many,
**[10:39] ---**
but don't even think about
making use of it anymore.
**[10:45] ---**
You really do consider
her your dau—
**[10:47] ---**
Silence, mongrel Lord of Fiends.
**[10:50] ---**
Very well. You may celebrate
your victory for now.
**[10:54] ---**
There will always be another
Chernobog, and another puppet.
**[10:58] ---**
Remember, Talulah.
**[11:00] ---**
*I am without end, and will
be a part of this land forever.*
**[11:05] ---**
Talulah!
**[11:08] ---**
She's still breathing.
**[11:10] ---**
His presence is gone—
**[11:11] ---**
Oh.
**[11:12] ---**
Not killing her, huh?
**[11:14] ---**
W?!
**[11:15] ---**
Give me the key.
**[11:16] ---**
I'll stop it.
**[11:17] ---**
Like hell we can trust you with it!
**[11:20] ---**
For this land to fall
into peaceful slumber.
**[11:21] ---**
*...fall into peaceful slumber.*
**[11:23] ---**
That's my dream.
**[11:25] ---**
I want no one to cry tears of loss,
but instead drift into gentle sleep.
**[11:32] ---**
Let me do this for Theresa,
and for everyone who's still alive!
**[11:36] ---**
Please!
**[11:37] ---**
I'll trust you.
**[11:39] ---**
Thanks.
**[11:40] ---**
Amiya...
**[11:42] ---**
Please take care of Talulah.
**[11:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:48] ---**
This is the old man's last wish.
**[11:53] ---**
Huh?
**[11:53] ---**
"Insufficient clearance"?
**[11:55] ---**
The key was a bluff, too?!
**[11:56] ---**
That dragon bitch!
**[11:58] ---**
There has to be another key...
**[11:59] ---**
No way she left one!
**[12:01] ---**
This wasn't supposed to... Misha...
**[12:03] ---**
Catch.
**[12:06] ---**
You know the password, don't you?
**[12:09] ---**
Of course.
**[12:10] ---**
Uhh...
**[12:13] ---**
"To feed all of humanity."
**[12:22] ---**
Abort the mission!
**[12:23] ---**
All teams, cancel shelling formation!
**[12:25] ---**
Nice one, Ch'en.
**[12:26] ---**
Pronto!
**[12:29] ---**
I see.
**[12:31] ---**
Ch'en, Tal!
**[12:33] ---**
To think they actually stopped it.
**[12:36] ---**
Did you have high
hopes for them, Leizi?
**[12:38] ---**
No. However...
**[12:40] ---**
This "Rhodes Island"
has piqued my interest.
**[12:44] ---**
The enemy's retreating...
**[12:47] ---**
It's over...
**[12:48] ---**
We've won!
**[12:50] ---**
We did it...
**[12:53] ---**
You did well, Feline!
**[12:57] ---**
Mission's over.
**[12:58] ---**
We'll be back with you soon, Captain.
**[13:04] ---**
We made it...
**[13:06] ---**
Miss Tal—
**[13:06] ---**
How long have you had the key?
**[13:08] ---**
Since the beginning.
**[13:10] ---**
It was hanging on
the control room wall.
**[13:12] ---**
You could've destroyed
it right away, then.
**[13:14] ---**
All this time, your conscience
kept you from doing it.
**[13:17] ---**
Stand up, Talulah!
**[13:18] ---**
Kashchey's far from
the only evil in these lands.
**[13:21] ---**
They will hurt you,
and try to keep you down.
**[13:25] ---**
But you can't give in.
**[13:27] ---**
You need to keep fighting that
endless fight and moving forward.
**[13:30] ---**
As long as you're alive,
you can correct your mistakes.
**[13:34] ---**
We may have changed,
but we both have things to do.
**[13:38] ---**
There's no time to stand still.
**[13:40] ---**
Both of our paths are just as long.
**[13:44] ---**
Wow, nice speech...
**[13:46] ---**
I get it. Stop glaring.
**[13:47] ---**
You really don't mince
words anymore, Hui-chieh.
**[13:50] ---**
I wish Alina could see this.
**[13:53] ---**
But the dead will never return.
**[13:55] ---**
This land allows for no do-overs.
**[13:58] ---**
I can never make amends
for the sins I've committed.
**[14:00] ---**
Even so—
**[14:01] ---**
But...
**[14:02] ---**
It would be unforgivable
to end this with my death.
**[14:05] ---**
The people whose lives I took,
and the allies whose names only I remember...
**[14:10] ---**
Until I am allowed to die
for their sake, I'll live.
**[14:15] ---**
Talulah, I'm arresting you.
**[14:18] ---**
Who will be judging me?
**[14:21] ---**
No country is capable of
impartially judging an Infected.
**[14:24] ---**
That's why...
**[14:25] ---**
A place where everyone
can be judged fairly,
**[14:28] ---**
no matter their background,
infection, or anything else...
**[14:30] ---**
It's my duty to create that place.
**[14:34] ---**
Long time no see, Sister.
**[14:37] ---**
Long time no see, Hui-chieh.
**[14:40] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:41] ---**
If anyone, thank Amiya.
**[14:43] ---**
She's the one who truly saved you,
along with the Infected who fought by her side.
**[14:49] ---**
And everyone lived
happily ever after.
**[14:51] ---**
Miss W...
**[14:52] ---**
How did you know the password?
**[14:55] ---**
I don't want to grow
up like my father.
**[14:57] ---**
For as long as I live, I'll fight.
**[15:00] ---**
Alex told me.
**[15:01] ---**
His old man told him before
kicking the bucket.
**[15:05] ---**
Took me way too long
to figure it out, though.
**[15:07] ---**
Because of Kashchey's
tricks and my own stupidity.
**[15:10] ---**
I really bought it when he said
no one could start the city if Misha died.
**[15:14] ---**
*I'm sure fate intended
for all of this to happen!*
**[15:18] ---**
We can't pretend that our mistakes
**[15:20] ---**
never happened,
or that those two never died.
**[15:24] ---**
We need to spend our whole
lives making up for it.
**[15:28] ---**
You're kinda like her, y'know?
**[15:31] ---**
"Her"?
**[15:32] ---**
Bye. I hope we never meet again.
**[15:35] ---**
Amiya!
**[15:36] ---**
Doctor!
**[15:38] ---**
Thank good...
**[15:39] ---**
Amiya?!
**[15:40] ---**
Are you okay?
**[15:41] ---**
*Subject's Oripathy symptoms
rapidly deteriorating.*
**[15:43] ---**
*Immediate curative
action required.*
**[15:45] ---**
If it's about Talulah...
**[15:46] ---**
Set her down.
**[15:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:48] ---**
Doctor, show me your arm.
**[15:50] ---**
All of you, never tell anyone
what I am about to do. Okay?
**[15:55] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[15:57] ---**
Why my blood?
**[15:58] ---**
I can tell you nothing, Doctor.
**[16:01] ---**
*Vital signs stable.
Situation normal.*
**[16:05] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[16:06] ---**
Our evac will be here soon.
**[16:08] ---**
Talulah Artorius.
**[16:09] ---**
Rhodes Island will be temporarily
taking you into custody.
**[16:11] ---**
What?!
**[16:12] ---**
Am I going to be your trump card?
**[16:16] ---**
We're the only ones with
the right to judge her!
**[16:18] ---**
That's not judgment. It's revenge.
**[16:21] ---**
Don't worry. It won't be forever.
**[16:23] ---**
We won't hand her over
to anyone but you.
**[16:27] ---**
I'll trust Rhodes Island just
this once, because it's you.
**[16:31] ---**
But if you use Talulah
for anything sinister—
**[16:34] ---**
If it comes to that,
I'll stop them myself.
**[16:37] ---**
Then you have my word that as long
as you're there, we won't lay a finger on them.
**[16:43] ---**
And if you people ever
get into trouble, we'll be there.
**[16:46] ---**
Because the Captain
and Yelena both chose her.
**[16:52] ---**
Amiya!
**[16:53] ---**
Doctor...
**[16:55] ---**
Good work.
**[16:57] ---**
You did it.
**[17:05] ---**
Doctor...
**[17:07] ---**
I... I...
**[17:16] ---**
Everyone who followed her is dead.
**[17:19] ---**
Heh, we ain't long
for this world, either.
**[17:22] ---**
There's no place for us anywhere.
**[17:24] ---**
Wanna come with me, then?
**[17:26] ---**
You're alive...?
**[17:27] ---**
You guys are free.
**[17:29] ---**
What?
**[17:30] ---**
From now on, we're
gonna walk our own path.
**[17:34] ---**
Faust would have wanted
you to live. Now go.
**[17:38] ---**
Guess this is the end.
**[17:40] ---**
Sure you don't want
to return to Rhodes Island?
**[17:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:43] ---**
I will carry on his will.
**[17:45] ---**
I know we can pull
ourselves up when we fall.
**[17:48] ---**
Talulah lit the flame.
**[17:50] ---**
And it still burns strong.
You can't put it out that easily.
**[17:55] ---**
Guys, you should follow her.
**[17:57] ---**
Lyudmila...
**[17:58] ---**
I was hellbent on revenge and only
managed to let myself be used.
**[18:02] ---**
I'll get stronger, I promise.
**[18:04] ---**
This is where we part ways,
but not for good.
**[18:06] ---**
Now, let's go.
**[18:08] ---**
To where the fire burns the hottest.
**[18:11] ---**
When did you contact
the Black Cloaks?
**[18:13] ---**
They let the Infected escape.
**[18:15] ---**
Who knows?
**[18:17] ---**
Turns out some of them
have human hearts.
**[18:21] ---**
That's all.
**[18:23] ---**
That stupid dragon! She left without
even showing her face! The hell is this?
**[18:27] ---**
(Sign) To Swire
**[18:27] ---**
(Sign) To Hoshiguma
**[18:27] ---**
Probably her way of settling things.
**[18:30] ---**
She trusts you enough to leave
you with the title of superintendent.
**[18:33] ---**
Hmph! I'll show everyone just
how much more brilliant I am!
**[18:37] ---**
"We'll meet again someday,
somewhere."
**[18:39] ---**
Right, Ch'en?
**[18:41] ---**
Things will get lonely,
but this is just like her.
**[18:45] ---**
Now, time to prepare a suitable
reward for Miss Amiya.
**[18:48] ---**
Seriously...
**[18:49] ---**
*Would a goodbye kill you?*
**[18:51] ---**
She played us like a fiddle.
**[18:54] ---**
This is where Talulah's father
and your mother are buried.
**[18:58] ---**
Back then, Edward fought
Kashchey alongside us.
**[19:02] ---**
But Kashchey exposed his status
as an exiled noble, and it sparked a fire.
**[19:08] ---**
So for my sister and her
unborn child, I killed him.
**[19:13] ---**
I was unable to find a way
where no one had to die.
**[19:17] ---**
That's all in the past.
**[19:19] ---**
Just promise me.
**[19:21] ---**
Promise me you won't
let Lungmen turn into a grave.
**[19:23] ---**
You have my word.
**[19:25] ---**
Will you believe me?
**[19:27] ---**
Only if you were saying that
to me, not Superintendent Ch'en.
**[19:31] ---**
Oh, and tell Auntie Fumizuki I said hi.
**[19:33] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[19:35] ---**
Lungmen will be waiting for
you and Talulah to come home.
**[19:38] ---**
The path before you is long
and hard. But I know you will master it.
**[19:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:44] ---**
Take care of yourself,
**[19:45] ---**
Uncle Wei.
**[19:47] ---**
We got ourselves
too involved with this.
**[19:49] ---**
We could be crushed
at a moment's notice.
**[19:52] ---**
That's what Talulah is for.
**[19:53] ---**
Her presence is enough to topple
the balance between Ursus and Yan.
**[19:57] ---**
Both countries have announced that
they had nothing to do with any of this.
**[20:02] ---**
I suppose letting the neutral Rhodes
Island keep her in custody is
a reasonable compromise for them.
**[20:07] ---**
She hasn't said a word
since she got here.
**[20:10] ---**
Perhaps to preserve that neutrality.
**[20:13] ---**
To all operators:
**[20:15] ---**
Thanks to everyone's efforts,
this incident has been resolved.
**[20:19] ---**
If that's the end he chose for himself,
**[20:22] ---**
there's no reason to blame you for it.
**[20:24] ---**
Are you sad?
**[20:26] ---**
Do you want a nap?
**[20:27] ---**
The lands are uncaring.
**[20:29] ---**
Much of the truth will
remain buried in the ruins.
**[20:32] ---**
But we must not forget.
**[20:34] ---**
He was warm.
**[20:36] ---**
I learned there are lots
of good people too.
**[20:38] ---**
*Our brave operators have
shown us what life is all about.*
**[20:42] ---**
*How a single life can hold
so many values and meanings.*
**[20:46] ---**
This is wonderful! We can
make this so affordable...
**[20:50] ---**
It'll reach everyone who needs it!
**[20:52] ---**
What should we call it?
**[20:55] ---**
FrostNova.
**[20:56] ---**
Not happening.
She never formally joined us.
**[20:59] ---**
Her conviction to save
people was the same as ours.
**[21:02] ---**
*To heal the lands' scars,*
**[21:05] ---**
*we paid a dear price.*
**[21:07] ---**
*Raidian Squad,
one member, Liqusa.*
**[21:10] ---**
I think I'm close to coming
up with my own standard.
**[21:13] ---**
*Ace Squad,
thirteen members.*
**[21:16] ---**
*Ace, Bad Tom,
Hard Brick—*
**[21:18] ---**
I'll be able to tell who's
good and who's bad.
**[21:22] ---**
*Scout Squad. Thirteen
members. Scout, Milim...*
**[21:26] ---**
Ace, Scout, Bluishsilver!
**[21:28] ---**
Our little kitten is all grown up!
**[21:30] ---**
D-Don't cry...
**[21:32] ---**
Rosmontis Squad,
one member, Bluishsilver.
**[21:35] ---**
Amiya Squad, thirteen
members. Dim Needle...
**[21:38] ---**
She said, "I will walk with you."
**[21:41] ---**
Hui, Indigo Jade,
**[21:44] ---**
FrostNova.
**[21:45] ---**
Forty-one in all.
**[21:48] ---**
*We will never forget them.*
**[21:50] ---**
*Even should Rhodes
Island cease to exist,*
**[21:52] ---**
*the marks they left on this
land will remain forever.*
**[21:56] ---**
How much longer
are you going to cry?
**[21:59] ---**
See you.
**[22:00] ---**
Yep.
**[22:00] ---**
Training recruits?
**[22:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:03] ---**
On this mission?
Seems like a toughie.
**[22:05] ---**
Oh, right.
**[22:06] ---**
"We'll attach them to your
mission," is what she said.
**[22:08] ---**
I-I'll do my best to
set a good example!
**[22:11] ---**
Amiya, the Doctor is on the top deck.
**[22:14] ---**
Thank y—
**[22:15] ---**
You've gotten more
dependable than before, huh?
**[22:18] ---**
Hey, now.
**[22:19] ---**
Amiya!
**[22:20] ---**
Got to see you at last!
**[22:23] ---**
Huh?
**[22:23] ---**
Back to work.
**[22:24] ---**
Again?!
**[22:26] ---**
Amiya.
**[22:27] ---**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[22:31] ---**
Doctor.
**[22:32] ---**
Amiya.
**[22:34] ---**
Are you feeling okay?
**[22:35] ---**
Yes!
**[22:36] ---**
I kind of cried a lot, though.
**[22:39] ---**
Sorry.
**[22:40] ---**
Huh?
**[22:41] ---**
Despite all your scars, all I can
do is send people to the battlefield.
**[22:46] ---**
Doctor?
**[22:47] ---**
I thought my lost memories
would have value...
**[22:49] ---**
and that knowing myself
could help you somehow.
**[22:54] ---**
But every time I touch upon
how cruel these lands can be,
**[22:57] ---**
I can't help but picture myself.
**[23:00] ---**
In all the strategies that come to mind,
most of our victories are soaked in blood.
**[23:05] ---**
The real me—
**[23:06] ---**
It's okay.
**[23:08] ---**
Whenever I'm about to hurt someone
with my own hands, my heart creaks.
**[23:13] ---**
Maybe you could call it weakness.
**[23:15] ---**
But I'm sure that as long as I never
let go of this feeling, everything will be fine.
**[23:19] ---**
Doctor, this pain is what tells
us that we are not yet weapons.
**[23:26] ---**
That's what lets us
walk in the darkness.
**[23:30] ---**
Amiya...
**[23:32] ---**
Thank you.
**[23:36] ---**
Madame Ch'en!
**[23:37] ---**
A meal?
**[23:38] ---**
Yes! We'll be waiting for you!
**[23:40] ---**
Doctor!
**[23:42] ---**
Let's go!
**[23:46] ---**
Yeah.
