[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!
