[00:00] Belle
I... I want to know my roots!
[00:03] Belle
I appeared from one
of these rocks as a child.
[00:06] Belle
Can I not cut anything anymore?
[00:09] Kitty
Did you find what you were seeking?
[00:11] Benedictine; Bennett
I can feel the woman in me going to sleep.
[00:14] Gwyn
I won't die.
[00:15] Gwyn
And I won't let you either!
[00:16] Adonis
This is my curse.
[00:18] Belle
Knock on the door of journeys with me!
[00:20] Gaff
Your father's sword is in my care.
[00:22] Sherry
Save Belle!
[00:24] Belle
The divine tree is eating solists.
[00:27] Belle
But it won't work...
[00:28] Belle
Not yet.
[00:29] Adonis
I knew things would turn out this way!
[00:30] Belle
We haven't fallen for each other yet.
[00:32] Adonis
Who else would ever see you as a woman?!
[00:35] Sian
We need someone to doubt reason.
[00:38] Adonis
Don't tell me the
girl of reason is the gods'...
[00:53] Kitty
Dear me. You're more theatrical
than I could ever be.
[00:57] Sian
The form of my curse makes me that way.
[01:01] Kitty
Because I, too, have been
sent to appraise reason...
[01:06] Kitty
Tell me, can reason amount
to hope in the face of doubt?
[01:13] Sian
We cannot return the bird to her cage
without questioning the world's reason.
[01:19] Sian
Not until her homesickness
shatters this world.
[01:24] Kitty
Sir, you are a dangerous fellow.
[01:27] Kitty
For your own hope, you would sacrifice much
[01:31] Kitty
and approve the murder of hope itself.
[01:34] Kitty
You should have died.
[01:38] Kitty
You should have died when
the girl of reason cut you down.
[01:43] Sian
I have nothing left to say to you.
[01:48] Sian
I'll take the Ashes of the Tried
next time we meet.
[01:51] Kitty
Oh?
[02:10] Belle
Where... am I?
[02:30] Belle
What am I doing here?
[02:33] (Flashback) Adonis
Can you?
[02:37] (Flashback) Adonis
Can you cut me?
[02:40] Belle
I can't.
[02:46] Belle
Who's there?
[02:47] Bennett
It's Bennett, Belle.
[02:49] Bennett
I came to check on you.
[02:51] Bennett
Would you mind letting me in?
[02:53] (Flashback) Adonis
Can you cut me?
[02:55] Belle
Sure I can.
[02:59] Bennett
Belle?
[03:05] Bennett
Stop.
[03:05] Bennett
Stop it, Benedictine!
[03:07] Bennett
Why should we have to go that far?
[03:09] Bennett
This is a mermaid's fate, Bennett!
[03:13] (Flashback) Bennett
The real Belle has sunk
somewhere deep below.
[03:16] (Flashback) Gwyn
And she'll drown if she stays there.
[03:18] (Flashback) Gwyn
Have you ever thought about how mermaids'
physical wounds link to mental ones,
[03:22] (Flashback) Gwyn
and to your male and female selves?
[03:26] Bennett
The light...
[03:27] Bennett
Not even sacred ashes can cure me now.
[03:29] Bennett
Why should I care?!
[03:31] Bennett
What have I gotten stronger for?
[03:33] Bennett
For this!
[03:35] Bennett
If it doesn't help now, in this moment,
then my strength...
[03:38] Bennett
means nothing!
[03:40] Benedictine
Belle.
[03:45] Belle
Who's there?
[03:46] Benedictine
It's me. You know.
[03:48] Benedictine
Open up already!
[03:50] Benedictine
Do you realize I came here just
to see how you're doing?
[03:57] Belle
Benedictine!
[03:58] Belle
Your eye...
[04:01] Benedictine
You look frightful.
[04:03] Belle
Why are you here?
[04:06] Benedictine
What have you done to this place?
[04:09] Benedictine
No wonder I can't stand get-well visits!
[04:15] Belle
I thought you died.
[04:17] Benedictine
Your hair's a mess,
and so is the rest of you.
[04:19] Benedictine
What, are you showing off for someone?
[04:22] Belle
When your male version showed up,
I figured you must be...
[04:27] Benedictine
I haven't paid you back yet.
[04:31] Benedictine
You cut down Gordon and set my heart free.
[04:35] Benedictine
I owe you this.
[04:38] Benedictine
Take proper care of yourself.
[04:40] Benedictine
You have hair like silk thread.
[04:46] Benedictine
Here. I know you like Meissen tea.
[04:49] Benedictine
Of course, Demitasse is more in season now.
[04:56] Benedictine
You didn't do anything wrong.
[04:59] Belle
I couldn't understand his pain.
[05:02] Belle
But I tried to make him understand me.
[05:07] Belle
I tried to fill him up with myself.
[05:10] Benedictine
The same goes for him, doesn't it?
[05:12] Benedictine
And he was a whole lot worse about it.
[05:16] Belle
I like the strong Adonis.
[05:20] Belle
Seeing Adonis weak makes me nervous.
[05:23] Belle
A weak Adonis won't help me.
[05:27] Belle
I know I'll lose the strong Adonis
if I come to understand his weakness.
[05:33] Belle
So I didn't want to.
[05:35] Belle
I didn't want to understand.
[05:37] Belle
I would have sooner killed him.
[05:40] Benedictine
And what were you hoping for from
this big, strong Adonis of yours?
[05:46] Benedictine
Grumpy coward that he is.
[05:51] Benedictine
I like the weak you, too.
[05:54] Benedictine
I get to think a heartfelt "serves you right."
[05:58] Benedictine
It feels wonderful.
[06:01] Belle
It's dawned on me why I've been dying
to see a menace like you all this time.
[06:06] Belle
I feel like even I could be a decent
woman when I'm with you.
[06:10] Benedictine
Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
[06:13] Belle
I mean I'm just another woman around you.
[06:17] Belle
You look beyond my tribe,
somewhere bigger and deeper.
[06:24] Benedictine
You're pretty, you know?
[06:26] Belle
Huh?
[06:27] Benedictine
You're free.
[06:29] Benedictine
Each tribe has its standards
of beauty and ugliness,
[06:32] Benedictine
but you aren't fettered by all that.
[06:35] Benedictine
You're light and free.
[06:38] Benedictine
Strength and weakness,
beauty and ugliness all lie inside you.
[06:44] Benedictine
Everyone's dying to touch them.
[06:47] Benedictine
But like a flower, you bloom as you please,
[06:50] Benedictine
as though you couldn't
care less how we feel.
[06:53] Benedictine
I couldn't live with myself if I didn't
at least get a look at you wilting.
[06:58] Belle
I don't know what I'm
supposed to do with that...
[07:04] Belle
I asked Adonis to leave
on a journey with me.
[07:08] Belle
Because I felt lonely.
[07:10] Belle
I wanted to run away from that,
and I tried to sacrifice him for it.
[07:15] Benedictine
That's not true.
[07:16] Belle
It is.
[07:18] Belle
If we had gone journeying, I know I would
have ended up dominating and killing him.
[07:26] Belle
He was looking for help,
[07:28] Belle
and I...
[07:30] Benedictine
So what if you did?
[07:32] Benedictine
Are you trying to say it's all your fault?
[07:34] Benedictine
Nonsense.
[07:36] Benedictine
You just said it yourself, remember?
[07:39] Benedictine
The real reason.
[07:41] Belle
The real reason?
[07:42] Benedictine
Yes.
[07:43] Benedictine
Why did you want to go
on a journey with him?
[07:48] Belle
I...
[07:58] Belle
I'm lonely.
[08:01] Belle
I'm so lonely I could go crazy and die!
[08:06] Belle
I'm scared! It's so hard!
[08:08] Belle
I'm all alone!
[08:09] Belle
I mean, no one will help me!
[08:12] Belle
You'd think I could get at least
one shoulder to lean on.
[08:17] Belle
You'd think someone would save me.
[08:20] Belle
Why am I so alone?
[08:24] Belle
Why can I never... never...
[08:30] Belle
do anything about my homesickness?!
[08:35] Belle
Someone somewhere told me at some point...
[08:40] Belle
I love my homeland and long for utopia.
[08:45] Belle
I can't love myself or where I am.
[08:49] Belle
I just keep wandering.
[08:54] Benedictine
It's not your fault.
[08:56] Belle
The door of journeys still won't open.
[09:00] Belle
I'll just wind up even
more alone when it does.
[09:05] Belle
Why does trying to learn about myself
[09:09] Belle
always leave me so utterly on my own?
[09:13] Benedictine
It's not your fault.
[09:15] Belle
It...
[09:18] Benedictine
Go ahead. Say it.
[09:21] Belle
It's...
[09:22] Benedictine
Come on.
[09:25] Belle
It's not... my fault?
[09:29] Benedictine
Yes, that's right.
[09:30] Benedictine
Now say it clearly.
[09:33] Belle
It's not my fault.
[09:36] Belle
It's not my fault!
[09:38] Belle
It's not!
[09:39] Benedictine
That's right.
[09:40] Benedictine
Yes, I couldn't agree more.
[09:42] Benedictine
And where are you trying to go?
[09:46] Belle
I'm going... to find out why I'm really here.
[09:51] Benedictine
Right.
[09:52] Belle
To do something about my homesickness.
[09:55] Benedictine
Exactly.
[09:56] Benedictine
You're going on a journey.
[09:59] Benedictine
You'll become but one person
with but one theme.
[10:03] Benedictine
Isn't that right?
[10:05] Belle
It is.
[10:07] Belle
Yeah, that is right.
[10:09] Belle
It's the only way I can go on living.
[10:14] Belle
I'm going on a journey.
[10:16] Benedictine
Yes.
[10:17] Belle
I'm going...
[10:19] Belle
to become a nomad.
[10:22] Benedictine
What are you waiting for, Belle?
[10:25] Benedictine
We have no choice but to live
out our lives in this land,
[10:30] Benedictine
yet we believe in what lies
at the end of your journey, too.
[10:34] Benedictine
We wish for it.
[10:37] Benedictine
I hope we can tell each other
about our respective journeys someday.
[11:02] Benedictine
Now, shall we begin?
[11:04] Benedictine
I don't think I have much time left.
[11:32] Guidance
Mermaids sing this song
to cleanse rivers and lakes.
[11:40] Guidance
The Ocean of Psyche forms a pair
with our continent of reality.
[11:46] Guidance
Mermaids are unsullied droplets
born from its waters.
[11:53] Guidance
Unable to form minds of their own without
parisitizing the psyches of others,
[11:58] Guidance
they bear a destiny from
which they can never escape.
[12:03] Guidance
All mermaids take on mental pollution
from those whose minds they parasitize.
[12:26] Benedictine
Pollution and purity, pain and joy...
[12:32] Benedictine
You won't lose anything at all.
[12:37] Benedictine
I'll just send back...
their stagnant sediment...
[12:43] Benedictine
from the you... that only I know...
[12:48] Guidance
They ultimately return to the ocean's abyss,
[12:53] Guidance
purifying the pollution they've acquired.
[13:00] Benedictine
I'll go, too. Somewhere deep.
[13:06] Benedictine
Until we can share stories of our journeys...
[13:15] Benedictine
Farewell, Belle.
[13:19] Belle
Bye-bye, Benedictine.
[13:36] Bennett
Is that you, Belle?
[13:37] Belle
Yeah.
[13:38] Belle
It's me, Bennett.
[13:42] Bennett
Are your wounds recovered?
[13:44] Belle
Thanks to you.
[13:46] Belle
I sacrificed your other self.
[13:50] Belle
I'm going to get better if it kills me.
[13:52] Bennett
Knowing that I managed
to help you is enough for me.
[13:58] Bennett
This is the price I paid for her setting out.
[14:02] Bennett
Mermaids have good ears.
[14:05] Bennett
I won't be so different from before.
[14:07] Belle
Good.
[14:09] Belle
I'm grateful.
[14:12] Belle
I don't regret it.
[14:14] Bennett
I knew you would say that.
[14:17] Belle
Good.
[14:18] Bennett
I'm grateful to you as well.
[14:22] Belle
I made up my mind I wouldn't cry.
[14:24] Bennett
I know.
[14:25] Belle
I decided I wouldn't say sorry.
[14:29] Bennett
I think that's for the best, Belle.
[14:40] Belle
Hey there, Gwyn.
[14:42] Gwyn
Oh, hi, Belle.
[14:43] Gwyn
Good morning.
[14:45] Gwyn
I'm still hungover.
[14:47] Bennett
Good grief. Do you even have any idea
where we're going?
[14:51] Gwyn
I'll rest my head until the funeral.
[14:55] Belle
A raven brought you word as well, then?
[14:57] Signs
Raven
Avian messenger of death
[14:59] Gwyn
Yeah.
[15:01] Gwyn
Gin Buck.
[15:03] Gwyn
I wish we hadn't lost him.
[15:12] Belle
Wow!
[15:22] Belle
Mist!
[15:24] Mist
This is unheard of.
[15:26] Signs
Topdogs
Good
[15:26] Mist
I mean, Topdogs at an Underdog's funeral?
[15:28] Signs
Underdogs
Evil
[15:30] Gwyn
I owe the late, great conductor
more than a little.
[15:47] Mist
How're your wounds?
[15:49] Mist
All better?
[15:50] Belle
Well, I guess.
[15:52] Belle
I must have come off as pretty pathetic.
[15:53] Mist
Ten of our guys left that
fight with broken swords.
[15:57] Mist
Jeez. You really are a monster.
[15:59] Mist
I don't mean that in a bad way.
[16:02] Mist
I really admire you.
[16:04] Mist
You blew me away in that
fight in the Katakombe, too.
[16:10] Belle
When I cut down Tiziano,
I thought that was the end of it.
[16:15] Belle
I had no idea you were still fighting.
[16:20] Mist
Would you have joined in if you'd known?
[16:25] Belle
I'm not on either side, good or evil.
[16:30] Belle
I don't know what I can
and can't cut until I try.
[16:36] Belle
So I guess I'd fight to cut down
whoever I'm really meant to.
[16:41] Mist
One of those nomad curses, right?
[16:43] Belle
You've heard of them?
[16:45] Mist
Gwyn told me.
[16:46] Belle
Oh?
[16:48] Mist
I mean, he was always visiting Mr. Gin Buck.
[16:53] Mist
And what about you and that guy?
Adonis, right?
[16:56] Mist
Why isn't he with you?
[16:58] Mist
I heard you even promised
to go on your journey together.
[17:02] Mist
Huh?
[17:04] Mist
Did something happen?
[17:07] Belle
He kind of attacked me.
[17:08] Mist
Then you...
[17:10] Belle
Well, between this and that,
it didn't go all the way.
[17:14] Belle
But he's disappeared.
[17:17] Belle
I couldn't find him to talk
it out if I wanted to.
[17:21] Mist
Forget that loser!
[17:24] Mist
I bet he's hiding because he knows
you'll cut him to ribbons.
[17:27] Belle
Maybe he is.
[17:29] Belle
I mean, I was planning
to take a swing on sight.
[17:48] Belle
It looks like that observation tower.
[17:57] Belle
The Katakombe?
[17:58] Gwyn
Yes. This is one of the
Collins clan's castles.
[18:03] Gwyn
I've waited a long time for this.
[18:07] Belle
Gwyn?
[18:26] Belle
It's just like the Skyway Cemetery.
[18:31] Bennett
Belle.
[18:32] Belle
Coming.
[18:43] Colonel
I am known as Colonel Collins.
[18:46] Colonel
I will preside over this funeral.
[18:49] Belle
If you're a Collins, then
you're from the Katakombe?
[18:53] Colonel
Yes.
[18:54] Colonel
As head priest and guardian
of Taurus, I bid you welcome.
[18:58] Belle
Taurus?
[18:59] Colonel
It's what we call this place, one of
the Katakombe's four fixed palaces.
[19:00] Signs
Taurus
Palace of the Bull
[19:05] Colonel
Aion, which you defended, is another.

[19:10] Colonel
Belle Lablac, on behalf of the Collins clan,
[19:16] Colonel
I sincerely thank you for that battle.
[19:18] Belle
Don't sweat it.
[19:19] Belle
We fought for our lives as much as anything.
[19:22] Belle
And back then, as Topdogs, we—
[19:25] Colonel
No, your battle truly transcended
the divide between Topdog and Underdog.
[19:32] Colonel
You exemplified our ideal.
[19:35] Gwyn
It's a pleasure to make your
acquaintance, Colonel Collins.
[19:39] Colonel
You must be Gwyn.
[19:41] Gwyn
I am.
[19:42] Colonel
Gin Buck told me much
about you while he yet lived.
[19:46] Gwyn
As the one responsible for scorching
the Katakombe in that battle,
[19:50] Gwyn
I've been eager for a meeting with you.
[19:53] Belle
Why do you have to put it like that?
[19:56] Colonel
We are aware.
[19:59] Colonel
You have our gratitude,
but never our resentment.
[20:03] Gwyn
By the way, I've written to your clan
several times via Mr. Gin Buck.
[20:10] Colonel
We received your messages.
[20:11] Colonel
I read them with great interest.
[20:16] Colonel
Now, if you would all make ready...
[20:20] Gwyn
I have a shot.
[20:23] Colonel
I shall now perform the last rites.
[20:32] Belle
He's really dead.
[20:40] Colonel
Tonight, the time to inquire
into tidings of death has come again.
[20:46] Colonel
The time for another of our brethren
to sleep in this hallowed ground.
[20:52] Colonel
Bathed in holy earthshine, I ask you.
[20:56] Colonel
When shall the raven blossoms,
pride of this land,
[20:59] Colonel
set their roots in your corpse and bloom?
[21:03] Colonel
For I, too, claim descent
[21:06] Colonel
from our brother who in
that battle met his end.
[21:19] Gwyn
It's ironic.
[21:21] Gwyn
Don't you think?
[21:23] Gwyn
We burned the Katakombe's flower
gardens so we could survive.
[21:29] Gwyn
You expect me to believe that your
burial here means we've been forgiven?
[21:38] Gwyn
Gin Buck, I've come to you again
to write a new script.
[21:45] Gwyn
A new way for the people to be from now on...

[00:00] Belle
What's a "Paradise Shift"?
[00:03] Gwyn
A term I learned from the traveling
Rabbitia when we fought Tiziano.
[00:08] ---
Paradise Shift
Alteration in the World
[00:09] Gwyn
It means a change in the world.
[00:12] Gwyn
It's not fair, Gin Buck.
[00:15] Gwyn
I started out just a run-of-the-mill libretto.
[00:20] Gwyn
But then I burned the
Katakombe's flowers with you,
[00:24] Gwyn
and you used that as a pretext
to make me do things
[00:28] Gwyn
that should have been a job
for someone like you.
[00:32] Gwyn
You're trying to make me question how
the people ought to be from now on.
[00:38] Belle
Gwyn?
[00:40] Gwyn
In her madness, Tiziano wrought
tragedy in the Katakombe.
[00:45] Gwyn
But why did she come to the Katakombe at all?
[00:49] Gwyn
How is it the divine summons
anticipated a battle there?
[00:56] Belle
Does something here go against god's will?
[02:24] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:26] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:31] Gwyn
There are two reasons
the castle despises the Katakombe
[02:36] Gwyn
and the Katakombe guards its entrances.
[02:38] Gwyn
The raven blossoms...
[02:40] Belle
Wait, the ravens?
[02:41] Gwyn
...and the way they seem
to refute the division
[02:44] Gwyn
between Topdog and Underdog, good and evil.
[02:49] Gwyn
Every late subject is to be offered to a
place under the castle called "Root Land."
[02:56] Gwyn
I only learned this upon making conductor.
[02:59] Gwyn
The people of this land have
no right to handle the dead.
[03:04] Gwyn
When we die, the blue
priests of the throne room
[03:07] Gwyn
bury us with due ceremony
and we become part of the divine tree.
[03:13] Gwyn
I think...
[03:15] Gwyn
we become sacrifices for when
our god makes sacred ashes.
[03:19] Belle
You're saying the ashes that heal us
are made out of dead people?!
[03:23] Gwyn
Gin Buck and I reached that conclusion.
[03:26] Gwyn
And if it's true, these raven blossoms
that convey the will of the dead
[03:31] Gwyn
usurp the dominion of death from our god.
[03:36] Bennett
If you want those dear to you
to know of your passing,
[03:40] Bennett
you must be buried here and not Root Land.
[03:44] Bennett
Here, in the Katakombe
where the ravens bloom.
[03:48] Gwyn
And such a place can never
be allowed to stand.
[03:52] Gwyn
What are raven blossoms, anyway?
[03:55] Gwyn
Where did they come from?
[03:57] Gwyn
Why do they host the will of the dead?
[04:00] Gwyn
Why do they only bloom
here in the Katakombe?
[04:03] Gwyn
And who started the Katakombe's creed:
[04:06] Gwyn
"Be neither good nor evil, only outside"?
[04:13] Belle
I think Tom Collins said...
[04:16] Belle
that good and evil are god's Law of Theme.
[04:19] Belle
Who knew something like this
could shake god's order?
[04:23] Colonel
What purpose does it serve
to reveal such here and now?
[04:29] Gwyn
I'm calling out to everyone here.
[04:32] Gwyn
Do the good and the evil accept
the ban on funeral rites?
[04:36] Gwyn
Will you end your lives as mere
sacrifices to the divine tree?
[04:42] Gwyn
The Katakombe, and no other place,
governs Paradise Shifts in Schwert Land.
[04:47] Gwyn
To guard it is to become a stone
in the foundation of a new order.
[04:54] Gwyn
I want to give my life to that!
[05:05] Colonel
Allow me to gratefully accept
your love for the Katakombe.
[05:12] Gwyn
You mean...
[05:14] Colonel
I have a condition.
[05:22] Colonel
Behold the heirloom sword of Taurus.
[05:25] Colonel
It bears the spell Ecnes, which shows
sympathy for both life and death.
[05:28] Signs
Ecnes
Sympathy
[05:31] Gwyn
A sword of the Katakombe?
[05:33] Gwyn
Didn't...
[05:34] Colonel
Yes.
[05:35] Colonel
In the recent battle, the forces
of good launched another assault
[05:39] Colonel
and stole the treasured sword
of Aion from Tom Collins.
[05:44] Gwyn
They took the other sword?
[05:52] Signs
Tixe
Escape
[05:52] Colonel
Its spell, Tixe, means "escape."
[05:56] Colonel
It forms a pair with Emoclew,
the sword of the kingdom.
[05:58] Signs
Emoclew
Kingdom
[06:00] Colonel
That is the why the Katakombe
and the castle can form a pair as well.
[06:06] Colonel
Reclaim the sword of Tixe
and return it to our hands.
[06:11] Colonel
Do that, and the Katakombe will welcome you
[06:15] Colonel
as one who shows us an unprecedented
crossroads of destiny.
[06:22] Gwyn
Yes, Colonel Collins.
[06:26] Gwyn
I will.
[06:27] Gwyn
I will!
[06:41] Belle
A "Paradise Shift," huh?
[06:45] Belle
I feel like all that talk
could teach me something.
[06:52] Mist
Hey! Move it!
[06:54] Evil Minotaur 1
You must be Belle Lablac.
[06:55] Mist
What's this about?
[06:57] Belle
Oh, right.
[06:59] Bennett
Friends of yours?
[07:01] Belle
I broke all their swords.
[07:03] Gwyn
All of them?
[07:05] Evil Minotaur 1
We wish to challenge Belle Lablac.
[07:08] Mist
Excuse me?!
[07:10] Sheep-eyes Youth A
We had our swords broken. Now we want
another chance to test our skill.
[07:15] Sheep-eyes Youth A
You have our word it'll be a grudge-free duel.
[07:18] Mist
That's bullshit!
[07:20] Mist
You think you can win
if you all gang up on her?
[07:23] Mist
Are you trying to ruin my reputation?
[07:25] Evil Minotaur 1
Check that pride of yours, Mist.
It could get someone hurt.
[07:31] Mist
Listen, you—
[07:34] Belle
That's a nice sword.
[07:35] Mist
H-Hey!
[07:37] Belle
You don't get that from just any swordwright.
[07:40] Belle
It should be worth growing.
[07:42] Evil Minotaur 1
Y-Yeah.
[07:44] Evil Minotaur 1
I never would have gotten this sword
if you hadn't broken my old one.
[07:49] Belle
I'm glad to hear you're not holding a grudge.
[07:52] Cloud
What's all this ruckus?
[07:55] Belle
Hey, Cloud!
[07:57] Belle
Your leg...
[08:00] Cloud
Oh, yeah.
[08:02] Cloud
I'm just lucky it's still attached.
[08:04] Belle
Is this from the fight in the Katakombe?
[08:06] Cloud
Don't sweat it.
[08:08] Cloud
It seems like this job suits me better anyway.
[08:10] Belle
What job?
[08:12] Cloud
I made all their swords.
[08:15] Belle
I don't believe it.
[08:17] Belle
You did a great job, seriously.
[08:19] Cloud
Thanks for the compliment.
[08:22] Mist
What are you talking about?!
[08:23] Belle
Huh?
[08:24] Mist
I've had it with this farce.
[08:27] Belle
Mist?
[08:31] Cloud
She's being stubborn.
[08:34] Cloud
I ended up like this,
and Mr. Gin Buck is dead.
[08:38] Cloud
We can't go back to the way things were.
[08:52] Belle
Who's next?
[08:56] Belle
Next!
[08:59] Sheep-eyes Youth E
I was first!
[09:00] Sheep-eyes Youth B
No, I was!
[09:01] Belle
Don't make a big deal out of it.
[09:03] Belle
I can keep this up all night if I have to.
[09:11] Mist
What a nice sound.
[09:14] Mist
It almost makes me jealous.
[09:16] Mist
I want to go out there with a sword myself.
[09:20] Gwyn
Times like this make me
really miss what I've lost.
[09:24] Mist
What?
[09:25] Gwyn
My hand. For holding you.
[09:29] Mist
So the one you've got left is
just for your sword?
[09:41] Gwyn
What a work of art.
[09:44] Gwyn
It transmits my will straight
to other solists' swords.
[09:50] Gwyn
Should I really be the one to wield it?
[09:53] Mist
Why not?
[09:54] Mist
That's what Mr. Gin Buck wanted.
[09:58] Mist
Are you sure you won't become an Underdog?
[10:02] Gwyn
You wouldn't become a Topdog either.
[10:05] Mist
Because you don't really want me to.
[10:08] Gwyn
Listen, Mist.
[10:10] Gwyn
I'm going to make a way to be just
outside, neither good nor evil.
[10:16] Gwyn
For that, I'll...
[10:18] Mist
God won't allow it.
[10:21] Gwyn
The Katakombe gives me grounds to hope.
[10:24] Gwyn
And so, well...
[10:28] Mist
What?
[10:30] Gwyn
I'll keep looking for that
so I can really be with you.
[10:35] Mist
Silly.
[10:37] Mist
You should've said that in the first place.
[10:40] Mist
Why do you need so many excuses?
[10:43] Gwyn
Mist...
[10:45] Mist
I won't wait.
[10:47] Mist
Drag me into your script.
[10:50] Mist
Me and my army.
[10:54] Mist
If I die in battle, I want it
to be part of your script.
[11:01] Gwyn
All right.
[11:08] Belle
Whew! That was a blast.
[11:12] Bennett
You've improved again.
[11:14] Belle
Thanks.
[11:15] Belle
And thanks to Cloud the swordwright, too.
[11:18] Belle
He enabled some good fights.
[11:20] Bennett
I'd like to talk with you.
[11:23] Belle
About Gwyn?
[11:24] Bennett
Sharp as ever.
[11:26] Belle
You know the whole deal, right?
[11:28] Bennett
Well, more or less.
[11:30] Bennett
Our tactician plans to petition the throne
to make the Katakombe neutral.
[11:35] Belle
Add me to that petition.
[11:39] Bennett
Belle...
[11:39] Belle
Won't you have an easier time negotiating
if I talk to Gaff in person?
[11:44] Bennett
I can't help feeling reluctant
to get you involved.
[11:49] Bennett
Gwyn will be thrilled, though.
[11:53] Belle
A Paradise Shift...
[11:54] Belle
I'm curious too.
[11:57] Belle
Will this whole land accept Moonwork someday?
[12:01] Belle
I want to know.
[12:03] Bennett
Moon... what?
[12:04] Belle
Moonwork. "To do as the moon."
[12:04] Signs
Moonwork
To do as the moon
[12:07] Belle
It's the spell carved
into the key to journeys.
[12:10] Belle
It means something like always changing
and returning at the same time.
[12:14] Bennett
Like the colors of an o'crock?
[12:17] Belle
I'm still having trouble with it, though.
[12:20] Bennett
I was wondering if you, well,
were trying to repay a favor.
[12:25] Belle
That's probably part of it.
[12:27] Belle
But more than that,
[12:31] Belle
I think you could say I'm homesick
for the land where I was born.
[12:37] Bennett
Homesick?
[12:39] Belle
I want to know if I can do something here
before I leave on my journey.
[12:46] Bennett
Belle?
[12:47] Belle
Sorry, Bennett.
[12:49] Belle
And thanks.
[12:52] Bennett
Huh?!
[12:53] Belle
See you! I'm gonna fight
another round or two.
[13:00] Bennett
I'm always getting jerked around.
[13:12] Kitty
Dear me. I'm already running late.
[13:17] Kitty
Goodness! You've shattered my formulae?
[13:22] Kitty
That good fellow has sent quite
a remarkable wolf my way.
[13:26] Kitty
May I ask you one question, Adonis?
[13:30] Kitty
What reason do you have
to turn your blade on me?
[13:34] Adonis
Ask my blade.
[13:36] Adonis
With your body.
[13:43] Kitty
In my land,
[13:45] Kitty
everyone knows that the bloodthirsty
receive the sad wages of karma.
[13:51] Kitty
Radiance of infinite density!
[14:10] Kitty
What?!
[14:18] Kitty
You haven't won yet!
[14:25] Kitty
Curse you...
[14:35] Adonis
Rusty Nail.
[14:47] Adonis
Sian.
[14:49] Sian
How did it go?
[14:51] Adonis
Here.
[14:53] Sian
Well done.
[14:54] Sian
By the way, did he open his watch?
[14:57] Adonis
No.
[14:59] Sian
I see.
[15:01] Sian
The castle is home to one who has bathed
in those deadly ashes to the limit,
[15:06] Sian
maintaining his personality
while melding with its god.
[15:11] Sian
Shower him in more than he can take.
[15:15] Adonis
Your own older brother?
[15:17] Sian
That's right.
[15:20] Adonis
I'll be waiting...
[15:22] Adonis
for you to come die at my hands.
[15:37] Adonis
Your Majesty, hold a moment before
you return to your god's inner world.
[15:42] Good King; Evil King
Have you learned nothing?
Have you come to doubt this land again,
[15:48] Good King; Evil King
Adonis the Question?
[15:52] Good King
The ashes that bring death...
[15:54] Adonis
Someone taught me that
the Ashes of the Tried
[15:57] Adonis
bear your god's hunger by dying a death.
[16:02] Evil King
You were taught?
[16:04] Good King
We see.
[16:05] Good King
So in the end, you, too...
[16:10] Evil King
...have abandoned yourself to darkness.
[16:13] Adonis
I offered myself, and this land as well.
[16:17] Good King; Evil King
You would offer the darkness your fellows,
[16:20] Good King; Evil King
as well as the girl of reason,
for whom you burn with passion?
[16:27] Adonis
The world only reaches out to make
peace with me after it's too late.
[16:33] Good King
What have you carved into your face?
[16:37] Adonis
This is god's blind spot.
[16:40] Adonis
Darkness swollen with those who
couldn't perish if they tried.
[16:43] Evil King
So you've shouldered a spell
of vengeance against this world?!
[16:48] Adonis
"Vengeance" is too weak a word.
[16:52] Adonis
I've got a message
from the former Prince Fatal.
[16:55] Adonis
When you abandoned yourself
to the divine tree,
[16:58] Adonis
this land was already on the path to ruin.
[17:02] Adonis
And now, a new flower will bloom
from the seed of its corpse.
[17:06] Adonis
You are the seedbed.
[17:09] Adonis
Of course, what blossoms will be the darkness
of eternal return that she and I create.
[17:16] Good King; Evil King
Doubting one...
[17:18] Good King
Bear a message to Sian.
[17:22] Good King
Tell him our failure to recognize
our brother prince's crimes
[17:27] Good King
is our true failing.
[17:30] Adonis
I'll tell him your last words.
[17:43] Adonis
I'll show you...
[17:44] Adonis
your god's hunger.
[17:54] Belle
Hmm?
[17:57] Belle
Hey!
[17:58] Belle
What happened to you?!
[18:06] Belle
The food's not going anywhere.
[18:09] Belle
First, let's get your clothes—
[18:11] Belle
Huh?!
[18:14] Belle
Hey...
[18:17] Belle
Talk about convenient.
[18:22] Belle
Oh well.
[18:24] Belle
Eat up.
[18:27] Gaff
A petition to make the Katakombe neutral?
[18:30] Gaff
All I can do is properly approve your
appeal to the king and guide you to him.
[18:36] Belle
That's plenty. It's a huge help.
[18:39] Gaff
But Belle...
[18:41] Gaff
What are you planning?
[18:44] Belle
Me?
[18:45] Gaff
In the worst case, the petitioners
could be imprisoned in perpetuity
[18:50] Signs
Paradoxes
The Outlawed
[18:51] Gaff
as paradoxes who have violated
the divine Law of Theme.
[18:55] Belle
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
[18:57] Belle
Don't worry.
[18:58] Belle
I know where my will comes from.
[19:02] Belle
That's what going on a journey means.
[19:04] Belle
This petition is one of the things I need
to get out of the way before I go.
[19:10] Gaff
I see.
[19:11] Gaff
In that case, I have nothing more to say.
[19:13] Belle
Thanks, Gaff.
[19:15] Gaff
By the way, Belle—
[19:16] Sherry
Shandy, are you there?
[19:20] Sherry
Your wounds may have healed, but you
shouldn't be up and about so soon.
[19:24] Belle
Does anyone else get
to talk to you like that?
[19:29] Gaff
She is our king's one and only daughter.
[19:32] Gaff
I can hardly fault her manners.
[19:34] Belle
Oh, come on.
[19:36] Belle
Don't let Sherry hear you
say anything that cold.
[19:38] Gaff
I wouldn't if we didn't care for each other.
[19:41] Belle
Oh yeah?
[19:42] Sherry
Belle!
[19:45] Belle
Hi, Sherry.
[19:48] Belle
Sherry?
[19:50] Belle
Huh?!
[19:51] Sherry
I'm so sorry.
[19:53] Sherry
I'm so sorry, Belle.
[19:55] Sherry
What an awful thing I did to you.
[19:59] Gaff
She means your duel with Kir.
[20:02] Belle
Oh.
[20:03] Sherry
I spoke the divine summons for you to fight.
[20:08] Belle
Don't let it bother you, Sherry.
[20:10] Sherry
But...
[20:11] Belle
Kir and I are both solists.
[20:14] Belle
I'm proud of that duel.
[20:17] Sherry
Oh, how underhanded I am,
making you say that...
[20:23] Sherry
I could never give you a real apology.
[20:28] Sherry
That would mean denying the word of god.
[20:33] Sherry
Please forgive me, Belle.
[20:39] Belle
Just hearing you say that is enough for me.
[20:42] Belle
Thanks, Sherry.
[20:52] Belle
That reminds me...
[20:54] Belle
What happened to Kir's body?
[20:57] Belle
I'd like to give him a funeral if I could.
[20:59] Gaff
The blue priests of the chronicle
interred him in accordance with custom.
[21:04] Belle
So he was buried in...
What's it called? Root Land?
[21:10] Gaff
How do you know about that?
[21:12] Belle
I heard about it from Gwyn.
[21:15] Belle
You think I could visit it?
[21:18] Gaff
No.
[21:20] Gaff
Only certain nobles of the castle
may set foot there.
[21:22] Signs
Nobles
[21:24] Belle
Oh, no big deal then.
[21:26] Belle
I was just curious.
[21:27] Gaff
I'm sorry.
[21:29] Belle
It's fine.
[21:34] Belle
So they even monopolize death...
[21:37] Belle
Does that mean they rule
everything about their subjects?
[21:41] Belle
And anyway, if I died, I'd want
to be buried like Gin Buck was.

[00:09] Gaff
Belle.
[00:10] Belle
Hmm?
[00:11] Gaff
I hear Adonis appeared
in the castle the other day.
[00:13] Belle
Adonis did?
[00:15] Gaff
Yes. It seems he had a secret
audience with the king.
[00:19] Belle
Why are you telling me?
[00:23] Gaff
He and I are at odds over
the disposition of a sword.
[00:27] Gaff
A treasured heirloom of the
Katakombe's Collins clan, I believe.
[00:32] Gaff
I fought Tom Collins to claim it.
[00:38] Belle
What kind of sword is it?
[00:41] Gaff
It bears a striking resemblance to
my Emoclew, sword of the kingdom.
[00:43] Signs
Emoclew
Kingdom
[00:47] Gaff
It has this spell engraved on it.
[00:55] Belle
So that whole battle was over this sword?
[01:00] Gaff
That was our god's command,
[01:03] Gaff
though I cannot fathom the intent.
[01:06] Gaff
In any case, having seized it,
[01:09] Gaff
I'd hoped to pass it to Tom Collins's
youngest son, Adonis.
[01:14] Belle
Then just give it to him already.
[01:17] Gaff
I've set a condition.
[01:19] Gaff
He must surrender every
sword he's taken so far.
[01:23] Belle
What?!
[01:24] Belle
There's no way he'd ever agree to that!
[01:27] Gaff
Unless he does, he can never
take his place as Prince Fatal
[01:32] Gaff
and support this kingdom
with me, back to back.
[01:35] Belle
Him, become the younger prince?
[01:37] Gaff
Yes.
[01:38] Gaff
It's the natural conclusion of climbing
the ranks of solists as he did.
[01:43] Belle
Wow.
[01:45] Belle
"Prince Adonis," huh?
[01:47] Belle
I guess that makes you Prince Fortuné.
[01:50] Gaff
Hence why I must resolve this matter swiftly.
[01:54] Gaff
Belle?
[01:56] Belle
Oh, it's just...
[01:57] Belle
some stuff's happened between us.
[02:00] Belle
But I hear you.
[02:01] Gaff
I'm counting on you.
[02:03] Belle
I've been meaning to have
another talk with him anyway.
[02:10] Belle
He's the kind of idiot who
never wants to admit he's hurt,
[02:16] Belle
so I want to teach him what pain is.
[02:21] Belle
I think I'm up to it now.

[04:05] Belle
Remember riding a turtle in these getups?
[04:09] Bennett
That was the first time we met, wasn't it?
[04:14] Gwyn
I poured all my effort into
stifling my feelings back then.
[04:19] Gwyn
Man, how I've changed.
[04:23] Belle
Speaking of change...
[04:26] Belle
I've changed a bit myself.
[04:28] Belle
Can you tell how?
[04:29] Bennett
Well...
[04:29] Gwyn
What could it be?
[04:31] Belle
I've gotten taller!
[04:33] Gwyn
Oh?
[04:33] Bennett
You don't say.
[04:35] Belle
It's true!

You look nice and pretty too.
[04:58] Belle
That's a vocalist uniform, right?
[05:00] Belle
It looks great on you.

A bold solist and graceful vocalist...
[05:06] Bennett
You make a lovely pair.
[05:07] Sherry
My.

Straight out of a swashbuckling tale.

Just imagine if Belle were a man.

We may have contended for the
heart of our singing princess.
[05:18] Belle
Huh?

In that case, we would have to take
the fall for a crime on Belle's behalf.
[05:24] Bennett
Such stories always unfold that way.
[05:32] Gaff
I see Belle has fine sword friends.
[05:35] Bennett
Yes. People we can trust
to watch our backs in a fight.
[05:41] Gaff
Is that so?
[05:42] Gaff
I applaud your spirit, although you're
as eccentric as the rumors say.
[05:47] Belle
I know, right?
[05:48] Belle
Gaff, thanks for today.
[05:50] Gaff
It was nothing.
[05:51] Gaff
Still, you've certainly come
dressed to make a statement.
[05:55] Gwyn
I can give you a suit to match, if you'd like.
[05:58] Sherry
Oh? Then I'd like one as well.
[06:01] Sherry
Please? It would mean so much to me.
[06:04] Gaff
I don't know about that, Sherry...
[06:11] Gaff
It appears the time is ripe.
[06:33] Gwyn
I am Gwyn, middle grade
conductor of solists!
[06:37] Gwyn
I have come today by grace of Lead
Solist Gaff to make a humble appeal.
[06:47] Gwyn
We wish for the Katakombe
to become neutral ground.
[06:51] Gwyn
O King Rawhide!
[06:53] Gwyn
Come! Reveal yourself to us!
[07:02] Gaff
Your Majesty, please hearken to their
voices, the voices of your people!
[07:15] Belle
What's wrong, Bennett?
[07:17] Bennett
I can hear them.
[07:18] Belle
Huh?
[07:21] Bennett
How many hundreds are there
on the other side of that curtain?
[07:32] Sherry
No!
[07:37] Gaff
Sherry?!
[07:39] Sherry
As divine priestess, I relay a message...
[07:43] Belle
A divine summons!
[07:44] Sherry
In this castle dwells a Nidhogg
[07:48] Sherry
who would endanger the people.
[07:50] Gaff
What?!
[07:51] Sherry
Though dwelling within our god,
he has revealed his wicked nature
[07:59] Sherry
and now shatters all bonds.
[08:03] Sherry
His name...
[08:07] Bennett
Run, Gwyn!
[08:22] Belle
Is that King Rawhide?!
[08:35] Belle
What the hell...?!
[08:38] Bennett
Gwyn!
[08:39] Bennett
That thing ate Gwyn!
[08:41] Sherry
In the voice of god, I command you...
[08:45] Sherry
Wield Sagittarius to slay
the maddened Nidhogg king!
[08:51] Belle
What does that mean?!
[08:53] Signs
Sagittarius
Song of Destruction
[08:53] Gaff
It's the name of a song!
[08:54] Gaff
A song of destruction that exists
only to destroy all buildings!
[08:58] Sherry
To sing, I name Sherry,
[09:01] Sherry
divine vocalist and Princess Veronette.
[09:07] Gaff
Sherry!
[09:07] Bennett
Here he comes!
[09:17] Belle
Damn it!
[09:18] Good King
Little one...
[09:20] Belle
Huh?
[09:21] Belle
King Rawhide?!
[09:23] Good King
End us.
[09:25] Belle
What?
[09:26] Good King
You must not allow us to leave this hall...
[09:31] Good King
Must not allow the people
to behold this form.
[09:42] Good King
End us.
[09:59] Gaff
Sherry!
[10:00] Gaff
The song of destruction!
[10:00] Gaff
Hurry!
[10:01] Sherry
No!
[10:03] Sherry
I can't. My father...
[10:05] Gaff
Sherry!
[10:06] Gaff
It will spare him further suffering!
[10:09] Sherry
No!
[10:11] Sherry
If I do that, I'll...
[10:14] Sherry
I'll never sing again.
[10:16] Belle
I'll handle this, Gaff!
[10:18] Gaff
No! That would go against our god's command!
[10:20] Belle
The king asked me to!
[10:21] Belle
He said to end him!
[10:23] Gaff
No!
[10:41] Belle
Damn it!
[10:42] Belle
Where do I hit to kill him?!
[10:45] Bennett
I found him!
[10:45] Bennett
Belle!
[10:46] Bennett
Gwyn is still alive!
[10:48] Bennett
There!
[11:02] Belle
I see it!
[11:03] Belle
Runding!
[11:17] Belle
What the...?
[11:24] Young Belle
Why?
[11:27] Belle
Are you...
[11:30] Belle
me?
[11:32] Young Belle
Why did you have to wake up?
[11:35] Young Belle
You should have just stayed asleep.
[11:38] Young Belle
Inside that rock. Forever.
[11:42] Belle
What?!
[11:43] Young Belle
Because you existed, we...
[11:49] Belle
Huh?
[11:51] Young Belle
Following survivor confirmation...

[11:59] Young Belle
Engage life support.
[12:05] Young Belle
Enhance physique in...
withstand long-term cryogenic sleep.
[12:12] Young Belle
All... game... will now indefinitely
postpone shutdown programs
[12:18] Young Belle
pending confirmation of survivor intent.
[12:23] Young Belle
All... facilities will now commence
generating livable environments.
[12:32] Young Belle
Releasing life forms for generation
of evolutionary environment to...
[12:40] Young Belle
Setting our reason for being
to this individual.
[12:49] Young Belle
Girl of reason,
[12:51] Young Belle
because you woke up...
[12:57] Young Belle
Why?
[13:08] Belle
What happened?
[13:22] Belle
What the hell did I cut?
[13:27] Bennett
Gwyn!
[13:30] Bennett
Hey! Are you all right, Gwyn?!
[13:32] Bennett
Open your eyes! Gwyn!
[13:38] Bennett
Gwyn!
[13:40] Belle
He'll be fine.
[13:41] Bennett
Belle?
[13:43] Belle
He's only dreaming.
[13:46] Bennett
Dreaming?
[13:47] Belle
The dream the divine tree has.
[13:50] Belle
Like I dreamed in that stone egg.
[13:59] Gaff
I don't believe it.
[14:03] Sherry
How could this...
[14:07] Sherry
Father...
[14:09] Belle
What?!
[14:10] Gaff
Make no mistake.
[14:11] Gaff
That is King Rawhide.
[14:13] Gaff
He offered himself to the divine tree.
To think we would recover him like this...
[14:17] Gaff
Did you do this?
[14:19] Belle
Huh? No.
[14:21] Belle
I just cut...
[14:23] Sherry
Oh, to have the father I know
here like this at the end...
[14:31] Sherry
Thank you, Belle.
[14:33] Sherry
Thank you.
[14:35] Belle
I didn't really—
[14:37] Adonis
You sublated his existence.
[14:39] Belle
Huh?
[14:42] Belle
A...
[14:44] Belle
Adonis!
[14:50] Adonis
I'm impressed.
[14:51] Adonis
You sublated the Nidhogg's very
existence without cutting its body?
[14:56] Signs
Sublate
Aufheben
[14:57] Adonis
That must be what your curse demands,
[15:01] Adonis
the point where it changes into a blessing.
[15:04] Gaff
What are you trying to say, Adonis?
[15:06] Adonis
God hasn't finished speaking.
[15:10] Belle
Sherry?
[15:12] Sherry
Within the divine order, I command you...
[15:16] Sherry
One has defied the word of god
and swung a cruel sword.
[15:22] Signs
Paradox
The Outlawed
[15:22] Sherry
You shall deem her a
paradox and imprison her.
[15:27] Sherry
Likewise to those whose appeal
has disturbed the divine order.
[15:33] Sherry
Oh, Belle!
[15:37] Gaff
Sherry!
[15:41] Belle
H-Hang on!
[15:44] Bennett
Gwyn, was this part of your script, too?
[15:49] Belle
Hey, Gaff!
[15:50] Gaff
I'll do something for you soon.
[15:52] Belle
Huh?
[15:52] Gaff
Endure it for now, Belle.
[15:57] Belle
Are you kidding me?!
[15:59] Belle
Don't you point your swords at me!
[16:01] Bennett
Stop!
[16:02] Bennett
We should go quietly and—
[16:02] Belle
Look at me!
[16:03] Belle
Gaff!
[16:06] Belle
Adonis!
[16:10] Belle
That sword...
[16:15] Adonis
Rusty Nail.
[16:18] Adonis
Gaff, the divine summons didn't
specify who should fight.
[16:23] Gaff
Adonis, do you mean...?
[16:25] Adonis
Give me the order.
[16:26] Adonis
Do it as a noble of this castle! Hurry!
[16:30] Gaff
Adonis,
[16:32] Gaff
I leave Belle to you.
[16:34] Adonis
I hear and obey, Prince Fortuné.
[16:36] Belle
What? Gaff!
[16:39] Adonis
Belle,
[16:40] Adonis
can you cut me?
[16:43] Belle
Move.
[16:50] Belle
Do you realize why we're here right now?
[16:56] Adonis
No idea.
[16:57] Adonis
But it's too late. For anything.
[17:01] Adonis
I made sure of that.
[17:03] Belle
You...
[17:04] Belle
You did this?
[17:06] Belle
You caused this mess?
[17:10] Belle
You dumb bastard!
[17:35] Belle
He's strong...
[17:38] Belle
He's holding his sword barehanded?
[17:45] Belle
Is that sword your answer?
[17:49] Belle
Then here's mine!
[17:57] Adonis
Can you cut me?
[17:59] Belle
Our swords will decide how this ends!
[18:08] Belle
Did I cut it?
[18:19] Belle
Runding?!
[18:23] Belle
No!
[18:24] Belle
I know I broke it!
[18:26] Adonis
This sword is forever withering.
[18:28] Adonis
No sword in existence can
destroy Rusty Nail's blade.
[18:34] Belle
It's consumed mine!
[18:35] Belle
That sword ate Runding's power!
[18:40] Belle
What?
[18:42] Adonis
Two swords from the same
maker are resonating.
[18:46] Adonis
Your sword is forever being born.
[18:49] Adonis
My blade is drawn to Runding's.
[18:52] Belle
What?!
[18:53] Belle
Damn it!
[18:55] Belle
So that's what your curse really does!
[18:59] Belle
I guess you finally found
a sword to suit your hands!
[19:02] Adonis
And at the same time,
the form of my blessing.
[19:11] Belle
You expect me to believe that disgusting
sword is Runding's brother?!
[19:22] Young Belle
Why?
[19:24] Adonis
So that's the form of your curse...
[19:28] Belle
I've had it with your tricks!
[19:32] Belle
I'll hack that thing to pieces,
and you with it!
[19:35] Adonis
Can you sublate my existence?!
[19:56] Belle
Adonis...
[20:05] Adonis
Just what I hoped for!
[20:07] Adonis
Surpassing our swords' mortal shells
[20:10] Adonis
is the future their makers
entrusted to us, their wielders.
[20:23] Adonis
If you can't even sublate me,
[20:25] Adonis
how can you sublate a god?
[20:31] Belle
It'll die.
[20:32] Belle
Who will?
[20:33] Belle
What will?
[20:34] Belle
The sword.
[20:35] Belle
My sword will die.
[20:39] Belle
If I lose it, I'll despair and die.
[20:44] Belle
I'll break.
[20:48] Adonis
Girl of reason!
[20:54] Belle
You...
[21:15] Belle
Adonis!
[21:37] Belle
A journey...
[21:44] Belle
Let's go on a journey together, I said.

[00:07] Gaff
Upon this sword, I swear to you all...
[00:09] Gaff
I have resolved to play the leading role!
[00:12] Gaff
Would any challenge me for the kingship?!
[00:21] Gaff
The king and his sword have been chosen!
[00:25] Gaff
I, too, shall dwell within this divine tree!
[00:29] Gaff
The old king is dead!
[00:38] Gaff
I am your king now!
[00:44] Gaff
This is order, Belle.
[00:47] Gaff
Order means performance,
[00:48] Gaff
with every subject playing the role
our god has granted them.
[00:54] Gaff
I will play the part of king
with all my heart.
[00:59] Gaff
Belle...
[01:00] Gaff
Our god has already decided how to cast you.
[01:06] Gaff
Do not make me cut you down.
[01:12] Gaff
As priest, I relay a divine message...
[01:16] Gaff
The word of god!
[01:17] Gaff
Let the newborn king do his duty.
[01:21] Gaff
Seek out the key to journeys...
[01:25] Gaff
Sherry!
[01:27] Gaff
Can you not hear this divine summons?!
[01:30] Gaff
Destroy it.
[01:32] Gaff
The key lies in the black hour,
in the black direction.
[01:37] Gaff
Only one can discover it:
the elder prince who may claim the throne.
[01:44] Gaff
Destroy the key to journeys.

Adonis.
[03:36] Adonis
You cling to your sword's shell,
afraid to let it go.
[03:40] Adonis
That tells me all I need to know.
[03:44] Belle
What are you doing here?
[03:50] Belle
Don't touch me!
[03:52] Belle
I'm not dead yet, and neither is Runding!
[03:56] Adonis
It will wither away eventually.
[04:00] Adonis
Release the power from its shell.
[04:06] Belle
Sacred ashes?
[04:08] Belle
No...
[04:09] Belle
The kind for keeping swords alive.
[04:11] Adonis
The Ashes of the Tried.
[04:17] Belle
What's your game, Adonis?!
[04:19] Belle
Why did you bring me this crap?!
[04:21] Belle
You... Damn it.
[04:23] Adonis
I'm waiting for you.
[04:33] Gaff
You still haven't found it?!
[04:35] Yellow Priest
I beg Your Majesty's pardon.
[04:37] Gaff
Assign every priest not serving
with the solists to this mission!
[04:42] Yellow Priest
At once!
[04:45] Gaff
The black hour in the black direction...
[04:48] Gaff
We live in this castle.
How could it elude us so utterly?
[04:52] Gaff
And what will I do once I've found it?
[04:55] Gaff
Will I smash the key to journeys?
[04:57] Gaff
To what end?
[05:01] Gaff
Adonis.
[05:02] Gaff
You've recovered already?
[05:04] Adonis
I'm still at half strength.
[05:05] Gaff
I'm sorry I left Belle entirely to you.
[05:09] Gaff
An unpleasant role, I'm sure.
[05:10] Adonis
Listen, Gaff,
[05:12] Adonis
would you bring that sword from the
Katakombe to the king's funeral?
[05:16] Gaff
Oh?
[05:17] Adonis
I'll agree to be your
brother prince if you do.
[05:20] Gaff
Will you return the swords, then?
All the swords you've taken?
[05:26] Adonis
I won't rule it out.
[05:27] Adonis
Besides, the funeral will be my last
chance to doubt this land.
[05:31] Signs
Doubt
[05:33] Gaff
Don't tell me you believe I'd allow that.
[05:37] Adonis
I'll take on your doubts,
[05:40] Adonis
the dark side of order.
[05:43] Adonis
You can breathe easy and bask in
the glory of the bright side.
[06:00] Adonis
So you don't rot, huh?
[06:08] Adonis
You must be exhausted, singing songs of
restoration day after day, Princess Sherry.
[06:13] Sherry
Why did you fight Belle?
[06:17] Adonis
If someone has to throw Belle in jail,
I'll be the one to do it.
[06:23] Sherry
Why must you and Belle fight one another?
[06:31] Adonis
You remind me of me.
[06:33] Sherry
Don't change the subject!
[06:35] Sherry
Have you ever considered how she feels?
[06:41] Adonis
I just can't stop...
[06:43] Sherry
Why do you laugh?!
[06:45] Adonis
Sorry. This is just how I am.
[06:49] Sherry
Do you... regret fighting Belle?
[06:55] Adonis
I'd feel better if I did.
If I could cry over it.
[07:01] Adonis
You're just taking your
doubts about god out on me.
[07:06] Adonis
I was obeying the divine summons
you relayed when I fought Belle.
[07:12] Sherry
Not another word!
[07:13] Sherry
I no longer wish to speak with you.
[07:19] Adonis
Sherry, I'd like you to share
your doubts with me.
[07:23] Sherry
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[07:25] Adonis
You doubt this land so much
that you wish it would just fall apart.
[07:30] Sherry
Don't be absurd!
[07:32] Adonis
I'll take on the dark side of order!
[07:33] Sherry
Unhand me!
[07:36] Sherry
Are you saying you would sacrifice yourself?
[07:41] Adonis
I'm just doing my job.
[07:44] Sherry
You mean like how you had to fight Belle?
[07:50] Adonis
That's right.
[07:52] Sherry
I... doubt that our god
truly loves the people.
[07:59] Sherry
I believed that maintaining
preestablished harmony
[08:03] Sherry
brought the people happiness
because god loves us.
[08:07] Sherry
But I sense no love in imprisoning
Belle and her friends.
[08:15] Sherry
Or in any other order I've relayed!
[08:19] Adonis
You're the only one in the
castle who hears god speak,
[08:23] Adonis
but that doesn't mean god loves you most.
[08:28] Adonis
That's what you suspect, isn't it?
[08:32] Adonis
But as princess, you can't ever tell a soul.
[08:36] Adonis
Must be hard.
[08:38] Adonis
I'll take on your doubts and put
everyone's questions to god myself.
[08:45] Adonis
I need a favor from you,
our lead vocalist.
[08:48] Adonis
Please, give me a chance
to find out why I'm here.
[08:57] Sherry
I will.
[09:08] Rawhide
Behold black.
[09:11] Rawhide
The color black maps
to no direction, no hour.
[09:18] Rawhide
Yet it is also the color to which all
directions and all hours return.
[09:25] Rawhide
Black lies at the end of every return,
[09:29] Rawhide
signifying endings and
beginnings in equal measure.
[09:43] Gwyn
Wait!
[09:44] Rawhide
Only kings know the ritual and can grasp
the black direction and black hour.
[09:52] Gwyn
Why?
[09:53] Gwyn
Why does it have to be me?!
[09:56] Rawhide
Black is our god's blind spot.
[10:01] Rawhide
Uncover the key.
[10:05] Rawhide
Before god aims to destroy
what it cannot see...
[10:12] Rawhide
new-minted king.
[10:16] Gwyn
Why me?
[10:18] Gwyn
King Rawhide!
[10:26] Gwyn
Oh, just a prison cell...
[10:38] Gwyn
Hey.
[10:39] Gwyn
That sure went about as we
expected, huh, Bennett?
[10:42] Bennett
Well, well. Look who finally woke up.
[10:45] Bennett
I don't suppose I need to fill you in?
[10:47] Gwyn
Did making contact go according to plan?
[10:49] Bennett
More or less.
[10:50] Bennett
But wouldn't it be risky
to gather the solists now?
[10:55] Gwyn
If worse comes to worst,
we'll reach out to Mist and—
[11:12] Bennett
What's wrong, Gwyn?
[11:15] Gwyn
Nothing.
[11:20] Gwyn
How funny...
[11:26] Gwyn
He made himself at home in my arm.
[11:32] Gwyn
I don't believe it.
[11:34] Bennett
Come again?
[11:35] Gwyn
As far as Park City is concerned,
we might as well not exist right now.
[11:39] Gwyn
This prison is another one
of god's blind spots.
[11:42] Bennett
What in the world are you on about?
[11:42] Gwyn
What we think of as "god" is
probably the oldest of all spells,
[11:44] Bennett
Gwyn, you're giving me the creeps.
[11:47] Bennett
Who are you talking to?
[11:47] Gwyn
passed down since the age of legends.
[11:50] Gwyn
But in our immaturity, we trapped the magic
we call god in the gears of a machine.
[11:57] Gwyn
Our job is to free god from
the yoke of existence.
[12:03] Gwyn
Then, someday, the time will come when
we relinquish all rights to own god!
[12:10] Bennett
Gwyn, if you lose your mind,
[12:14] Bennett
what happens to me?
[12:20] Bennett
Belle...
[12:22] Bennett
You won't accept this.
[12:25] Bennett
You'll escape this place without
using anyone's help again.
[12:32] Bennett
Belle,
[12:33] Bennett
this will be a parting of the ways.
[12:35] Bennett
Yours and ours.
[12:45] Gaff
Kings of the past
[12:47] Gaff
and heroes whose spirits dwell
in the world within our god,
[12:52] Gaff
pardon my breach of etiquette
in addressing you.
[12:57] Gaff
I have no choice now
but to ask you directly.
[13:04] Gaff
For what purpose did our god command me
to take this sword from the Katakombe?
[13:10] Gaff
May I entrust it to my brother prince to-be?
[13:14] Gaff
To a man born of the Katakombe?
[13:17] Gaff
And what is the key?
[13:20] Gaff
Where may I find it?
[13:22] Sian
I can't blame you for not knowing.
[13:26] Gaff
Sian!
[13:29] Sian
It's been a long time, Gaff.
[13:32] Gaff
I knew you had to be alive.
[13:35] Sian
So you finally heard god speak, eh?
[13:38] Sian
But a king's meant to do more than
blindly follow divine orders.
[13:43] Gaff
Sian!
[13:44] Gaff
He who is most a slave to our god has
the right to reign over the people!
[13:50] Gaff
You taught me that yourself!
[13:52] Sian
Why does the word of god
mean so much to you?
[13:55] Gaff
I...
[13:56] Gaff
I'd never heard our god speak before.
[14:01] Gaff
I'd never so much as felt
god's presence clearly!
[14:05] Gaff
Without that, what was I born and raised
as a noble in this castle for?!
[14:10] Gaff
But I'm different now!
[14:12] Gaff
I've gained the right to become a true king!
[14:16] Gaff
Hearing god at last qualifies me!
[14:19] Sian
Child,
[14:20] Sian
I now release you from the
fetters of my teachings.
[14:25] Gaff
Stop.
[14:26] Sian
The sword of another will cut the chains
of fate that bind you in my stead.
[14:33] Sian
Most of your people no longer hear their
god speak even once in their lives.
[14:38] Sian
Think carefully on that.
[14:41] Sian
You're a king.
[14:44] Sian
Farewell, Gaff.
[14:50] Gaff
I... am king.
[15:03] Sian
Oh, great. I didn't make it out in time.
[15:08] Kitty
You told me to cage the bird
without letting it sing.
[15:14] Kitty
That there was no other way
to calm the strife in my homeland.
[15:19] Kitty
But on the other hand, that gave the Rabbitia
a new ambition: to rule the world.
[15:26] Sian
Lamenting your fate is practically
a privilege of personhood, prince.
[15:32] Kitty
Nonsense!
[15:33] Kitty
What I've suffered amounts to death!
[15:35] Kitty
I've finally accepted that you're
a snake bent on harming the bird!
[15:40] Kitty
The Discerning Eye that governs me
has deemed you dangerous.
[15:45] Kitty
At long last, I've been entrusted with
the true secret of opening this watch.
[15:50] Kitty
All has gone according to your plan...
[15:53] Kitty
And I couldn't be more furious!
[15:55] Sian
Whatever. Give me your best shot.
[15:58] Kitty
You'd make me obliterate
you with my own hands?
[16:02] Kitty
The same burden you always
foist on your pupils?
[16:06] Kitty
Then so be it!
[16:08] Kitty
I was your student in Denari Land.
[16:13] Kitty
Wings of the Sun!
[16:16] Kitty
In my hand, I raise a bowl
to receive your radiant blood!
[16:21] Kitty
God who has roamed the
heavens since antiquity,
[16:24] Kitty
governing the sun's bright heat,
[16:27] Kitty
shed a drop of your divine
fire here and now!
[16:32] Kitty
Only the girl of reason can succeed!
[16:35] Kitty
Only she can wipe fruitless strife and
stagnation from my land and the world!
[16:43] Kitty
I hang my hopes on Belle,
[16:45] Kitty
to ensure all divine power is lost forever
[16:49] Kitty
and quell strife at its very root!
[16:59] Kitty
Behold a legacy of the gods
of old, the Electhor!
[17:10] Kitty
Can you break the might of the gods?
[17:13] Kitty
You, who's left everything
to the girl of reason?
[17:16] Sian
It's all the same.
[17:18] Kitty
What?
[17:19] Sian
You will the gods' destruction
while wielding their power,
[17:28] Sian
just as I endanger the girl of reason.
[17:31] Kitty
Why are you so dead set on treachery?
[17:36] Sian
God, the people, and reason
[17:38] Sian
all must be fundamentally refuted
before we can achieve true aufheben!
[17:44] Kitty
Then I will brandish my power to affirm
my beloved through and through!
[18:13] Adonis
I felt it, the sword you made for Sian...
[18:17] Adonis
I don't know who he's fighting.
[18:18] Dram
The Rabbitia. You fought him once yourself.
[18:22] Adonis
I thought I killed him.
[18:24] Dram
His nomad's curse.
[18:26] Dram
He's been split into two identities.
[18:30] Dram
No matter what torment the nighttime
sage suffers, death included,
[18:31] Signs
The All
The Sage
[18:36] Signs

[18:36] Dram
the daytime fool will return his
suffering to the one who dealt it.
[18:41] Adonis
What could make him take
on a curse like that?
[18:45] Dram
He's like us.
[18:47] Dram
He wants the gods to fall,
[18:51] Dram
but he can never cause their ruin himself.
[18:56] Adonis
So he's counting on Belle?
[18:59] Adonis
When Runding overcomes
the Ashes of the Tried,
[19:02] Adonis
I'll cross swords with Belle.
[19:06] Adonis
That will be my last chance to touch her.
[19:09] Dram
Are you crying?
[19:12] Adonis
I don't think I can. It just hurts.
[19:15] Adonis
Death is coming.
[19:18] Adonis
I'm struck by the feeling that
something deep inside me died.
[19:25] Adonis
Sian's fine.
[19:28] Dram
Don't worry about him.
[19:29] Dram
Power tied to a god was used
against a sword I wrought.
[19:35] Adonis
Dram, I'll give you a present...
[19:38] Adonis
Sian's lifeless corpse when I beat him.
[19:43] Adonis
You'll be together forever.
[19:53] Belle
Dumb bastard...
[19:55] Belle
What else can I do?
[19:58] Belle
This might save you.
[20:00] Belle
You'd die.
[20:02] Belle
You'd die if I just left you like that.
[20:05] Belle
I won't end up like Kir.
[20:08] Belle
As long as you're alive, I'll be fine.
[20:12] Belle
We'll be...
[20:14] Belle
We'll be together, right?
[20:19] Belle
Damn it!
[20:21] Belle
Runding!
[20:41] Runding

Grant it to me. My proper station.

You dumb bastard...
[20:59] Belle
What do you expect me to do?
[21:36] Adonis
I don't believe it...
[21:38] Adonis
So reason does nothing
but pierce god's shadow?
[21:43] Adonis
I haven't pierced more than
god's shadow yet myself.
[21:47] Adonis
But that's not enough anymore.
[21:50] Adonis
You only have yourself
to blame for swallowing me.

[00:09] Gaff
One of the priests carries it.
[00:11] Gaff
But depending on your actions,
I may break it here.

It almost seems like they're calling us.
[02:56] Adonis
Beckoning us to join them.
[02:57] Gaff
Don't be absurd.
[02:58] Gaff
They rest in peace,
cradled in the roots of our god.
[03:03] Adonis
In that case...
[03:04] Adonis
I should just go ahead and ask god.
[03:07] Gaff
You wouldn't!
[03:08] Adonis
I'll question god right here.
[03:11] Gaff
You can't be serious!
[03:13] Adonis
The elder princess has already
agreed to open the way for me.
[03:18] Gaff
What?!
[03:20] Sherry
Shandy Gaff, I wish to entrust
the shadows in my heart to this man...
[03:27] Sherry
So that I may one day convey god's love
to the people as the Princess Veronette.
[04:09] Adonis
The time has come! I'll cross god's defenses
and touch upon its true nature at last!
[04:15] Gaff
What are you plotting, damn you?!
[04:18] Adonis
I already told you.
[04:19] Adonis
I'm risking everything I am
to put my questions to god.
[04:24] Gaff
Nonsense!
[04:29] Shadows
Nowhere...
[04:32] Gaff
Adonis, what have you done?!
[04:36] Adonis
Behold a world taken to the extreme
of my negative skepticism!
[04:42] Priest A
My lord, command us to draw our swords!
[04:44] Sherry
You mustn't.

[05:08] Gaff
I still have the sword you crave!
[05:12] Adonis
I'll let you in on something.
[05:14] Adonis
I've broken every sword I ever took
and fed them all to this one.
[05:21] Adonis
The sword of the Katakombe,
[05:23] Adonis
your sword of the kingdom,
[05:25] Adonis
and all the others will feed my power!
[05:32] Priest B
My lord, you're in danger here!
[05:35] Gaff
By my power as Prince Fortuné,
I forbid all combat!
[05:39] Gaff
Release Belle Lablac and her companions
[05:41] Gaff
and charge them with vanquishing
the Army of Insatiable Emptiness!
[06:15] Belle
I found a friend...
[06:18] Belle
My sword is like a glove
I wear when I touch things.
[06:22] Belle
I can clear any hurdle
as long as I have you.
[06:25] Belle
Let's do this, partner.
[06:27] Belle
If I lose it, I'll despair and die.

In that case, why not go on a journey?
[07:23] Belle
If I ever have to fight on that side...
[07:25] Belle
I'll come out on top sooner or later.
[07:27] Belle
I guess I'd better step up...
[07:28] Belle
I'm the one who's changed.
[07:30] Belle
To do something about my homesickness.
[07:32] Benedictine
What are you waiting for, Belle?
[07:35] Belle
Oh, so you understand.
[07:47] Belle
I feel you more than ever.
[07:52] Belle
You awoke through the pain too, didn't you?
[07:58] Belle
Someday, when you shatter completely,
[08:01] Belle
I know what drives me will change.
[08:06] Belle
But how will my curse
and my blessing transform?
[08:11] Belle
Isn't it my job to find out?
[08:16] Belle
I came to know myself.

[09:06] Guidance
You have triumphed in the grand undertaking
that is conquering yourself.

Anyone can see why he's banned combat!
[09:24] Gwyn
We could end up sacrifices to order,
stuck slaying every Nidhogg that pops up!
[09:31] Gwyn
But therein lies our advantage!
[09:34] Bennett
You sound so happy, I could almost
forget what a fix we're in.
[09:39] Belle
That doesn't sound so bad.
[09:43] Gwyn
So, how is it going?
[09:45] Bennett
The call has already gone out.
[09:47] Bennett
But who knows how many will answer it.
[09:50] Belle
Call?
[09:51] Bennett
Our blowhard of a conductor is making
everyone dance to his tune.
[09:55] Gwyn
Excuse you. They're all dancing
of their own free will.
[10:00] Gwyn
How about it, Belle?
[10:02] Gwyn
Would you care to join the dance?
[10:10] Belle
I'll grant my sword its proper station.
[10:14] Belle
And I'll swing it to do that,
[10:16] Belle
whether I'm up against the
Army of Insatiable Emptiness or god.
[10:21] Belle
Besides,
[10:23] Belle
Adonis is waiting.
[10:26] Belle
He won't beat me this time!
[10:28] Gwyn
That settles it. We fight
the Army of Insatiable Emptiness!
[10:31] Gwyn
And we'll have our first skirmish
with god while we're at it!
[10:36] Supporter A
The conductor's here!
[10:38] Supporter A
Took him long enough!
[10:42] Belle
Talk about a welcoming party!
[10:47] Gwyn
I never dreamed so many of you would come.
[10:50] Gwyn
Oh, thank you!
[10:54] Gwyn
Look.
[10:55] Gwyn
Take a look at this, Belle!
[10:57] Gwyn
They've rallied to join our fight.
[11:00] Gwyn
They all long to hear...
[11:02] Gwyn
a new kind of Schwert Musik!
[11:09] Belle
I'm glad.
[11:15] Adonis
This is some pressure...
[11:17] Adonis
But that proves it.
[11:21] Adonis
God, I'll dig my fangs into your guts!
[11:32] Sherry
Put me down. I can walk.
[11:37] Adonis
Guess you're not the songstress
who hears god for nothing.
[11:40] Adonis
I can't believe this intense
pressure isn't bothering you.
[11:43] Sherry
Of course it's bothering me.
[11:45] Sherry
But I want to see what waits ahead,
and I want to do it of my own volition.
[11:52] Adonis
Then let's hurry.
[11:54] Sherry
But which way do we go?
[11:57] Adonis
Our guide.
[12:00] Sherry
My.
[12:04] Sherry
She has spells on her eyelids?
[12:06] Adonis
She could see too much.
[12:08] Adonis
The other side of walls,
pictures people paint in their minds...
[12:12] Adonis
Maybe she's even seen inside god.
[12:15] Adonis
That's why she lost her heart and
the Army's darkness welcomed her.
[12:21] Sherry
The Army of Insatiable Emptiness
must mean true refuge for such people.
[12:27] Sherry
So why is it they take such horrid forms?
[12:32] Adonis
The Army is a shadow cast by order.
[12:36] Adonis
Denizens of shadow draw looks of fear,
[12:40] Adonis
which soon turns to hate.
[12:43] Sherry
In that case,
[12:45] Sherry
perhaps we were all one to begin with.
[12:50] Sherry
Thank goodness.
[12:52] Sherry
That's such a relief.
[12:56] Adonis
What do you mean?
[12:59] Sherry
I believe in the Army
of Insatiable Emptiness.
[13:02] Adonis
What?!
[13:03] Sherry
Just like god's love, the Army has
a peace-giving love all its own.
[13:09] Sherry
And something to protect,
even at the cost of love.
[13:13] Sherry
I believe...
[13:15] Sherry
a time will come when we
can all be together.
[13:19] Sherry
Calling on god with you
will be my first step toward that.
[13:25] Adonis
Do you realize what I'm looking for up ahead?
[13:29] Sherry
Destruction.
[13:31] Sherry
The Army's wailing sings
for the destruction of all things.
[13:37] Sherry
But we shan't perish.
Neither shall this land or its god.
[13:42] Sherry
The destruction is but a seedling
to guide us to a new future.
[13:47] Adonis
And she's supposed to be a divine priestess?
[13:50] Adonis
This songstress might be more
than you bargained for...
[13:54] Adonis
Dram, Sian.
[13:57] Sherry
Does the Army see destruction as victory?
[14:01] Adonis
Yeah.
[14:02] Adonis
The only way they win is if all else
fades into the dark distance.
[14:06] Sherry
Then I shall have faith.
[14:09] Sherry
Faith that when you put destruction to god,
[14:12] Sherry
a new world will be born from it.
[14:15] Adonis
Are you talking about Belle?!
[14:17] Adonis
You "have faith" she's going
to come defeat me?!
[14:24] Adonis
She'll fail.
[14:26] Adonis
I'll destroy her.
[14:28] Shadows
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[14:35] Bennett
What is that awful chanting?
[14:39] Gwyn
I guess it must be magic we don't know.

It's creepy, whatever it is.

Naturally.
[16:10] Gwyn

[16:34] Belle
I get it.
[16:35] Belle
This isn't Schwert Musik at all.

These shadows serve a larger shadow!
[16:40] Gwyn
We don't have time
to crack each and every fang!
[16:43] Gwyn
Smash the jaw they grow from!
[16:46] Bennett
You're shouting orders like you know
the Army inside and out.
[16:52] Gwyn
I just have the knowledge
of someone with experience.
[16:55] Gwyn
I know it.
[16:57] Gwyn
Look! There's the jaw!
[17:08] Belle
What the—?!
[17:12] Belle
So you're the boss of these shadows?
[17:16] Belle
Sorry, but you're going down.
[17:18] Corpse-Sword Wielder
Confident, aren't you?

A child of darkness.
[17:44] Belle
Some king he'd make.
[17:48] Belle
I'll cut this guy down to size!
[17:57] Guidance
Take heed.
[17:59] Guidance
You now face another conqueror.
[18:04] Guidance
A tyrant who would subdue himself
by rearing despotism atop his own corpse.
[18:11] Belle
I swear, you worry too much.
[18:21] Belle
What the hell is his sword?!
[18:23] Belle
Don't tell me it's dead!
[19:01] Corpse-Sword Wielder
I savored that.
[19:04] Corpse-Sword Wielder
Not even my old sins caused so much pain.
[19:09] Corpse-Sword Wielder
How much of your blood must I
sip or your flesh must I chew
[19:13] Corpse-Sword Wielder
to take your strength for myself?
[19:17] Belle
Beats me, jackass!
[19:19] Solist C
Wait, is he...?
[19:20] Signs
The Corpse-Sword Wielder
[19:20] Solist D
The corpse-sword wielder!

He was an elite Topdog solist,
but kept killing and eating skilled solists!
[19:28] Solist F
He's a ghoul!
[19:31] Corpse-Sword Wielder
When they hammered in these nails
of sin and I fell into death,
[19:35] Corpse-Sword Wielder
darkness and I intermingled.
[19:38] Corpse-Sword Wielder
The swordwright Dram bundled the corpses
of every sword I'd taken into one.
[19:48] Corpse-Sword Wielder
I awakened as one of the fangs!
[19:56] Belle
Use that dead sword to tell me
why you want strength so badly.
[20:03] Corpse-Sword
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[20:03] Corpse-Sword Wielder
The proud would never understand.
[20:09] Belle
I swing my sword to discover why I'm here.
[20:14] Belle
Don't you?
[20:17] Corpse-Sword Wielder
Child of light.
[20:20] Corpse-Sword Wielder
Like you, I am merely one who performs
their existence by the sword.
[20:28] Belle
Oh yeah?
[20:30] Belle
So you're saying I could end up like you,
and you could've been like me?
[20:37] Corpse-Sword Wielder
That's right.
[20:39] Belle
No wonder you give me the creeps.
[20:42] Belle
I will give my sword its proper station!
[20:46] Belle
You may break my blade or wound my body,

but my howl will still pierce the world!

[00:13] Gwyn
Well done, Belle.
[00:15] Belle
That guy was something else.
[00:18] Gwyn
Belle, from here on out, leave the
vanguard and fight as you see fit.
[00:24] Belle
Huh?
[00:25] Belle
You mean...
[00:27] Belle
So I can leave the band at any time?
[00:31] Bennett
Really, your scripts account for everything.
[00:34] Gwyn
That's been your part in this
band from the beginning.
[00:38] Belle
I like it. This band, I mean.
[00:43] Belle
I want to fight with you.
[02:14] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:16] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:26] Gwyn
It sounds like Adonis has taken
Princess Sherry deep into Root Land.
[02:31] Gwyn
The stolen sword of the Katakombe
is probably with—
[02:36] Gwyn
It's awfully chilly.
[02:39] Belle
Wh-What's going on?
[02:40] Bennett
What bitter cold...
[02:43] Warder A
The wards!
[02:44] Warder A
It's eating them!
[02:45] Gwyn
Close formation!
[02:47] Bennett
Focus! Do you want to freeze?!
[02:57] Gwyn
That must be our enemy.
[03:13] Belle
Why can't I cut her?!
[03:21] Solist
What?!
[03:27] Belle
Is she some tribe we've never seen before?
[03:31] Ice-Wielder
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[03:35] Ice-Wielder
Let it o...!
[03:38] Ice-Wielder
Let it o...!
[03:39] Bennett
A mermaid.
[03:48] Gwyn
Belle! Check that arm!
[03:54] Belle
It's ice!
[03:55] Belle
The whole arm is made of ice!
[03:58] Bennett
I see.
[04:00] Bennett
She took on too much mental pollution.
[04:04] Bennett
Gwyn, I've got her!
[04:05] Gwyn
All hands on deck! Make sure you finish her!
[04:08] Bennett
Fire!
[04:17] Bennett
There!
[04:22] Bennett
We pierced her heart.
[04:24] Bennett
Above us!
[04:29] Ice-Wielder
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[04:35] Ice-Wielder
O... o... o...! O... o... o...!
[04:45] Ice-Wielder
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[04:49] Ice-Wielder
O... o... o...!
[04:50] Belle
Even her heart is frozen solid.
[04:52] Ice-Wielder
O... o... o...!
[04:59] Bennett
I don't resent my destiny as a mermaid.
[05:12] Bennett
Stop, Belle!
[05:14] Belle
Bennett?
[05:19] Bennett
She's already dead.
[05:33] Bennett
I wouldn't have minded giving
her one of my arms.
[05:40] Gwyn
Your arms belong to me as long
as you're under my command.
[05:57] Gwyn
See that shrine?
[05:59] Gwyn
This marks the shortest route into god's core.
[06:05] Belle
Huh?
[06:12] Belle
It's the sword!
[06:14] Bennett
An obvious trap if I've ever seen one.
[06:16] Gwyn
Make light!
[06:22] Gwyn
This means we're in the god's inner sanctum.
[06:25] Gwyn
It rejects all magic.
[06:27] Bennett
Doesn't that mean the Army
can't use any, either?
[06:32] Gwyn
The Army of Insatiable Emptiness
is one of god's few blind spots.
[06:36] Bennett
What a predicament.
[06:38] Bennett
What's that?
[06:47] Bennett
What say you, conductor?
They seem like toys to me.
[06:53] Gwyn
They are toys.
[06:54] Belle
They're walking on their own.
And coming this way.
[07:07] Belle
What the hell are they?
[07:10] Gwyn
They're dead.
[07:11] Belle
Oh, is that all?
[07:15] Gwyn
Bennett, who in the world
is controlling them?
[07:19] Bennett
Can't you see him with your eyes?
[07:33] Gwyn
So he wants to see who conducts better?
[07:38] Toy Soldiers
Let it o...! Let it o...!
[07:47] Gwyn
What tiresome conducting.
[07:49] Gwyn
He's hopeless.
[07:50] Gwyn
Vanguard, split into stage left and right!
[07:53] Gwyn
Flanks, fall back to the rear!
[07:55] Belle
Wait, you want to turn back?
[07:57] Gwyn
Belle, jump!
[08:03] Belle
What the...?
[08:04] Toy Soldiers
Let it o...!
[08:06] Belle
This is the main force?
[08:08] Gwyn
Charge at will!
[08:10] Solists
All right!
[08:27] Gwyn
So you have no need for broken toys, do you?
[08:36] Belle
Gwyn! When did you...?
[08:39] Bennett
You joined the fray yourself?
[08:41] Gwyn
Hardly approved conduct for a conductor.
[08:58] Belle
You think she's that boy's mother?
[09:00] Gwyn
Probably.
[09:05] Gwyn
Secure the sword!
[09:10] Solist B
What is this thing?!
[09:11] Belle
Bamboo, huh?
[09:13] Belle
You don't let up, do you?!
[09:21] Belle
I missed.
[09:23] Bennett
I don't believe it.
She cut through a Rest-aurant?
[09:27] Bennett
I'm starting to fear what Belle
and Runding will do next.
[09:31] Gwyn
They're here to gain a different kind
of strength than what they've had thus far.
[09:36] Gwyn
Strength on a different level from ours.
[09:39] Gwyn
Once she falls into a different category,
[09:42] Gwyn
I'm sure trouble will break out
in our path too.
[09:46] Bennett
Gwyn, do you mean...?
[09:50] Gwyn
It looks like we've cleared out the "Fangs"
or whatever they call themselves.
[09:54] Gwyn
We've finally made it this far!
[09:56] Gwyn
Only nobility are allowed
to set foot beyond this point.
[10:02] Gwyn
Even so, we will—
[10:02] Gaff
Halt, Conductor Gwyn!
[10:05] Belle
Gaff?!
[10:10] Gwyn
Why, if it isn't the lead solist!
[10:13] Gwyn
Have you come to watch how we fight?
[10:18] Gaff
You've fought well.
[10:20] Gaff
Sheathe your swords at once!
[10:22] Gaff
We shall take things from here.
[10:46] Kitty
I'm amazed the Nothing followed that
fellow like he was supposed to.
[10:50] Kitty
Are our wills attempting
to align in god's roots?
[10:59] Kitty
I see.
[11:00] Kitty
What a state of affairs to wake up to.
[11:03] Kitty
Not bad at all.
[11:06] Kitty
I think not!
[11:14] Belle
What's this about, Gaff?
[11:16] Gaff
Did you not hear me?
[11:19] Gwyn
I did, lead solist.
[11:21] Gwyn
If you will place every sword that
fought here on the divine scales,
[11:27] Gwyn
we will sheathe them this instant.
[11:29] Gaff
The scales, you say?
[11:31] Gwyn
We have no other way to let our
swords tell of their battles
[11:37] Gwyn
or to claim the reward
for our service from the king.
[11:41] Gaff
I refuse.
[11:42] Gwyn
Oh? And may I ask why?
[11:46] Bennett
Swords that have clashed with shadows
may not rest on the divine scales.
[11:52] Gwyn
We made forbidden Schwert Musik
with the Army of Insatiable Emptiness
[11:56] Gwyn
because you yourself gave
us the royal order to fight.
[12:00] Gwyn
To think that obedience would land us all
in prison as taboo-breaking paradoxes!
[12:04] Signs
Paradoxes
The Outlawed
[12:08] Gaff
You have only one way to avoid
the stigma of paradox.
[12:13] Gwyn
Discard our swords, you mean?
[12:15] Gaff
Yes. I understand how it must grieve you.
[12:20] Gaff
But you may return to the stage of proper
Schwert Musik with new swords in hand.
[12:26] Gaff
What other choice do you have?
[12:28] Belle
You want us to dump the blame
on our swords and abandon them?
[12:32] Gwyn
That is indeed the most commonsense way
to preserve order peacefully.
[12:38] Gaff
Well then?
[12:39] Gwyn
I have conditions.
[12:41] Gaff
What?!
[12:42] Gwyn
First, approve our petition and recognize
the Katakombe's neutrality.
[12:50] Gwyn
Second, return the sword taken
from the Katakombe to its rightful place.
[12:56] Gwyn
I mean, that shouldn't be so hard, right?
[12:59] Gaff
Are you out of your minds?
[13:01] Gwyn
Who can say?
[13:03] Gaff
I will brook no further argument!
[13:05] Gaff
Those who will do as I say,
come forward at once.
[13:09] Gaff
Act otherwise,
[13:10] Gaff
and receive the stigma of paradox
along with the bite of my sword!
[13:16] Gaff
Belle?
[13:18] Belle
Who'd pitch their sword
just because you said so?
[13:21] Belle
You can't even put up a decent
fight against the Army,
[13:24] Belle
so shut up and back off!
[13:29] Gaff
Even you would harm this land, Belle?!
[13:33] Gaff
Now, at last, I perceive our god's true will!
[13:36] Gaff
I see why god wishes to destroy
the key to journeys!
[13:40] Belle
Remember what I told you once?
[13:42] Belle
Your sword's the last one
I'd ever want to die by.
[13:45] Bennett
Are you fine with this, Gwyn?
[13:48] Gwyn
Those two are the leads in this battle.
[13:51] Gwyn
We should follow Belle,
whether she advances or retreats.
[13:55] Bennett
Who could keep up with her?
[13:59] Gwyn
Bennett...
[14:00] (Flashback) Bennett
Belle.
[14:01] (Flashback) Bennett
This will be a parting of the ways.
[14:04] (Flashback) Bennett
Yours and ours.
[14:12] Belle
That sword's made of steel
from the divine tree, isn't it?
[14:16] Belle
Which means your god is in your hands.
[14:20] Gaff
What?!
[14:21] Belle
But you still won't listen
to what your sword is saying.
[14:26] Belle
I'm surprised.
[14:28] Belle
I'll give my sword its proper station.
[14:35] Belle
Your sword must want the same thing.
[14:43] Gwyn
Cut in!
[14:58] Bennett
It's like a maze.
[15:00] Belle
It's like the caves in the Katakombe.
[15:02] Gwyn
Don't worry. We won't get lost.
[15:12] Guidance
Keep your wits about you in god's domain.
[15:15] Belle
What?
[15:16] Guidance
Only those who truly question
reason can pass this point.
[15:26] Belle
What's gotten into you guys?
[15:30] Gwyn
Advance slowly!
[15:32] Gwyn
If you can't bear it, move to the rear!
[15:35] Belle
Gwyn?
[15:36] Gwyn
It's divine pressure!
[15:38] Gwyn
Must be a hereditary trait.
[15:41] Gwyn
When the gods created us
in the time of legends,
[15:47] Gwyn
they put special ears in our heads.
[15:52] Belle
What for?
[15:54] Gwyn
So we could hear the divine voice
of the god-machine, Deus Ex Machina.
[16:00] Gwyn
Even after all these generations,
we still have them.
[16:07] Belle
I don't have anything like that.
[16:12] Belle
You again!
[16:16] Belle
Out of my way!
[16:25] Solist
Nice going!
[16:28] Gwyn
Finally, the sword of the
Katakombe is in our—
[16:31] Army
Nowhere...
[16:32] Bennett
What?
[16:34] Army
Nowhere...
[16:36] Gwyn
Get away from the sword!
[16:40] Army
Nowhere...
[16:43] Gwyn
Now he's done it.
[16:46] Army
Nowhere...
[16:58] Adonis
Do you see, sublater?
[16:58] Signs
Aufheben
Sublate
[17:01] Belle
What?!
[17:01] Adonis
Do you see this other group
of beings capable of aufheben?
[17:06] Adonis
This crucible of ecstatic hunger?
[17:09] Belle
Adonis!
[17:10] Belle
Huh?
[17:13] Bennett
Oh no!
[17:15] Bennett
Damn!
[17:16] Gwyn
Stop! Don't use magic!
[17:18] Bennett
Then what?!
[17:19] Belle
Oh, to hell with it!
[17:28] Kitty
Behold my newborn might!
[17:33] Belle
Kitty the All!
[17:34] Kitty
Come, Belle! It's time
for your cry of triumph!
[17:38] Belle
Adonis!
[17:40] Belle
You son of a bitch!
[17:42] Belle
Can I cut him?
[17:52] Belle
Trust Adonis to set such an elaborate trap.
[17:56] Belle
Damn him!
[17:57] Bennett
What splendid wards.
[17:59] Bennett
Now we can cast all the magic we'd like.
[18:02] Bennett
I never expected a traveling
Rabbitia to save our hides again.
[18:07] Kitty
No, I was careless.
[18:09] Kitty
I never dreamed the wolf lad had left
the stink of his beliefs on the sword.
[18:17] Bennett
Well, we have the sword. What now?
[18:21] Kitty
Advancing any farther will
prove exceedingly difficult.
[18:26] Belle
I'm going.
[18:30] Kitty
I will accompany you.
[18:32] Kitty
I have a bit of unfinished
business with the wolf lad.
[18:37] Belle
See you around.
[18:39] Solists
Belle Lablac!
[18:41] Solists
Belle Lablac! The little one!
[18:44] Solists
Belle Lablac! The reason for our victory!
[18:49] Gwyn
My conducting stops here.
[18:52] Gwyn
Go wild, Belle.
[18:54] Belle
You bet.
[18:58] Belle
Let's go.
[19:06] Gwyn
We march as well!
[19:08] Gwyn
Carry the sword wrapped in this.
[19:12] Gwyn
The lead solist and his priests
lie in wait outside the passage!
[19:16] Gwyn
We're all getting out of here alive!
[19:23] Bennett
Make up your mind, conductor.
[19:25] Gwyn
Bennett!
[19:27] Bennett
This was part of your script too.
[19:30] Bennett
She's already left our category.
[19:33] Bennett
And she'll come back as a
disaster blocking our path.
[19:40] Bennett
You said so yourself.
[19:43] Bennett
I know you don't want to tear
down this castle, Gwyn.
[19:48] Bennett
She'll cut god if we let her.
[19:51] Gwyn
I couldn't ask for a better director.
[19:55] Bennett
Decide!
[20:06] Gwyn
I admit Belle's choices will depend
on what questions Adonis throws at god.
[20:14] Gwyn
But I believe in her strength.
[20:17] Gwyn
And in her sword.
[20:19] Gwyn
Now matter how much she changes
or how much power she gains,
[20:23] Gwyn
I want to believe that,
at least, will stay the same.
[20:28] Gwyn
The threat of the Army has passed for now!
[20:31] Gwyn
Belle will find out what's
become of Princess Sherry!
[20:35] Gwyn
Only one task remains for us:
[20:38] Gwyn
win neutrality for the Katakombe!
[20:49] Gwyn
Sorry, Bennett. I lean on you too much.
[20:53] Gwyn
I should have given the order.
[20:56] Bennett
Don't mention it.
[20:57] Bennett
I needed that too.
[21:02] Bennett
It was all the farewell we needed.
[21:17] Kitty
Are you crying, Belle?
[21:20] Belle
Huh? No way.
[21:23] Belle
I won't pretend I'm used to it,
[21:29] Belle
but everyone treats me like
I'm something special.
[21:33] Belle
Are they trying to give me a big head?!
[21:37] Belle
I swear I'll be free someday.
[21:40] Kitty
Belle...
[21:41] Belle
I'll find out all about where I come from.
[21:44] Belle
I'll choke down every reason
I'm here in this world!

Hit your limit, have you?
[00:18] Adonis
I'll take the fang that is you
into the jaw that is me.
[00:23] Adonis
Rest in peace.

We're almost at god's heart.

[01:59] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:05] Adonis
So this is god's fiery blood.
[02:11] Adonis
In the ancient age of gods, this place
supplied divine power to the whole world.
[02:19] Sherry
It almost feels as though I'm touching
our god for the first time.
[02:26] Sherry
The font of the shadowy pack you
lead came from here, didn't it?
[02:31] Adonis
That's right.
[02:33] Adonis
It once lay within god, but now
it has been exiled for eternity.
[02:38] Adonis
The will to destroy.
[02:40] Sherry
I feel it. I sense god's shuddering
and unendurable terror of destruction
[02:47] Sherry
as well as a desire for it.
[02:49] Sherry
But why?
[02:51] Sherry
Does our god's hunger extend
to god's own demise?
[02:56] Sherry
There is no divine love for the people here.
[03:00] Sherry
Yet just as the shadows of ruin were cast out
[03:04] Sherry
and became the Army of Insatiable Emptiness,
[03:07] Sherry
perhaps god's love has taken some other form
and manifested in the world outside.
[03:13] Sherry
And if so, it must lie with
what Belle and her friends seek.
[03:19] Sherry
Belle will come.
[03:22] Adonis
The Army is what discovers a new form
of life in the midst of destruction.
[03:29] Sherry
Are you trying to free our
god from its earthly shell?
[03:34] Sherry
Is that why you wish to welcome me
as a person with a shadow
[03:41] Sherry
and make me sing?
[03:43] Sherry
Sing a song of pure destruction?
[03:47] Adonis
We do welcome you.
[03:57] Army
Nowhere...
[04:20] Adonis
So you can burn shadows?
[04:24] Adonis
I have to hand it to you!
[04:25] Adonis
You really are a child of god!
[04:29] Adonis
But that only makes the Army want
you more as one of its fangs!
[04:34] Sherry
Wolf, depart this holy ground
[04:36] Sherry
and return to your wilderness!
[04:39] Adonis
Those aren't your own words!
[04:41] Adonis
Your god makes you say them!
[04:47] Adonis
Why does god fear the sword of the
Army of Insatiable Emptiness?
[04:52] Adonis
Here's your answer!
[04:59] Adonis
The Army's darkness swallows
everything totally and equally!
[05:05] Adonis
Don't try to fight it, child of god!
[05:08] Adonis
If you resist, I'll carve a spell
of lament into you with this sword!
[05:15] Belle
Adonis, you doofus.
[05:32] Sherry
Belle!
[05:34] Belle
Hey there, Sherry.
[05:39] Belle
Hi.
[05:41] Adonis
I've been waiting for you, girl of reason.
[05:44] Belle
I'm going to cut you.
[05:47] Adonis
You are a light not even the Army's
darkness can swallow completely
[05:52] Adonis
and also a darkness not even
divine light can banish.
[05:57] Adonis
By consuming you, the Army will
achieve a darkness truly absolute!
[06:03] Belle
Always with you and the excuses.
[06:05] Belle
If you want to take me on, just say so.
[06:09] Kitty
Dear me. That's egg on your face.
[06:16] Sherry
I know you!
[06:17] Adonis
You should've stayed dead, Rabbitia.
[06:21] Belle
Kitty, take Sherry and go.
[06:22] Kitty
Of course.
[06:25] Adonis
Your song is more decisive than you realize!
[06:30] Adonis
We need it to lay bare what god hungers for!
[06:37] Belle
Hey, Sherry. Remember how you
sang at my place one time?
[06:42] Belle
Would you sing for me again?
[06:45] Sherry
Yes!
[06:46] Sherry
It's a promise, Belle!
[06:49] Adonis
Not so fast!
[06:51] Belle
I see you still don't know
how to treat a woman.
[06:56] Adonis
I knew I should've taken you out first,
[06:58] Adonis
girl of reason!
[07:00] Belle
I am Belle Lablac!
[07:29] Belle
Finally, a good look at your face.
[07:31] Belle
You look like you're doing well.
[07:33] Adonis
I'm always a crucible of regret
[07:36] Adonis
every time I think of making
you the key to ruin.
[07:39] Belle
Bullshit.
[07:41] Belle
I gave up on you a long time ago.
[07:44] Adonis
Yeah, I bet you did.
[07:46] Belle
Dummy.
[07:47] Belle
Do you honestly get it?
[07:49] Belle
Go on. Try calling to me.
[07:52] Belle
I'll carve you up!

So you've transcended its shell?

You've got my hopes up, girl of reason!

Oh, hey. You do have plenty of friends.

Stay back!

I will be the one to make a fang of reason!
[08:11] Dram
Don't worry. They will not
return you to nothingness.
[08:16] Dram
It's just that you have yet
to be sufficiently tried.
[08:21] Adonis
What do you mean, Dram?!
[08:36] Belle
What?

Who are you?
[08:52] Adonis
Oh, of course.

This is my final responsibility as your Enola.
[09:04] Belle
Why?
[09:07] Belle
Why are you saying that
to someone who isn't me?
[09:12] Belle
Those are my words! You said them to me!
[09:18] Belle
What?
[09:19] Belle
Damn it!
[09:23] Belle
He's... teaching swordplay? To Adonis?
[09:27] Belle
Why?
[09:30] Belle
Who are you?
[09:34] Belle
You made Runding!
[09:37] Dram
The future will soon appear.
[09:40] Dram
You and the child of darkness will bring it.
[09:45] Dram
Wait just a little longer, girl of reason.
[09:50] Belle
Who the hell...
[09:53] Belle
do you all take me for?
[10:00] Sherry
Will Belle be all right?
[10:02] Kitty
Her peril is dire.
[10:05] Kitty
But as it happens, you are the one
who holds the key to this battle,
[10:10] Kitty
Princess Sherry.
[10:11] Sherry
M-Me?
[10:16] Gwyn
We will never abandon our swords!
[10:20] Gwyn
If we discard anything,
[10:21] Gwyn
it should be our desire to belong to god!
[10:24] Gaff
Conductor Gwyn, do you mean to defy
[10:27] Gaff
not only my commands, but god's as well?!
[10:30] Gwyn
God is a primal spell,
passed down since the age of legend.
[10:35] Gwyn
But the people saw god in the gears
of a machine and began worshiping it.
[10:42] Gwyn
It is Deus Ex Machina!
[10:42] Signs
Deus Ex Machina
The God Machine
[10:44] Gaff
You dare call our god gears?!
[10:47] Gaff
God is a supreme being who casts us
in our roles and harmonizes us all!
[10:53] Gwyn
Stop clinging to god!
[10:55] Gwyn
Now is the time! We must create
order with our own hands!
[11:00] Gwyn
If we don't,
[11:02] Gwyn
we'll live out our lives as
clockwork toys for all eternity!
[11:07] Gwyn
Do you still not realize
what Adonis despaired of?
[11:12] Gwyn
Why he wished for absolute destruction?!
[11:14] Gaff
Would you take after the
Army and swallow ruin?!
[11:17] Gwyn
From the Katakombe!
[11:18] Gwyn
We'll enshrine the key to journeys in the
Katakombe as a symbol of neutrality!
[11:23] Gaff
I see now... You lot plan
to serve the Katakombe!
[11:27] Gwyn
The Katakombe is our hope! It shows a new
mode of existence for the people!
[11:33] Gwyn
No Topdogs or Underdogs!
[11:35] Gwyn
Eventually, no outside or inside either!
[11:38] Gaff
Have you no shame?
[11:40] Gaff
You leave me no choice but to end
your ravings with my blade!
[11:46] Kitty
The victor in this clash will determine
your people's future mode of being.
[11:52] Kitty
Belle is fighting because she believes that.
[11:55] Kitty
As one who has touched the pulse of god,
you must take your place among them.
[12:01] Sherry
Very well.
[12:02] Kitty
Will you intensify the conflict?
[12:05] Kitty
Or overturn its very foundations?
[12:07] Kitty
It all depends on you.
[12:10] Sherry
I understand.
[12:12] Sherry
I know my role.
[12:15] Sherry
But all I can do is sing.
[12:18] Kitty
Indeed.
[12:20] Kitty
Just as Belle merely swings her sword.
[12:26] Sherry
I will take my place upon the stage.
[12:29] Kitty
As you wish.
[12:31] Sherry
Everything is an ordeal.
[12:39] Gaff
Sherry!
[12:40] Gwyn
What is she doing here?
[12:41] Priests
Your Highness!
[12:43] Solists
You're safe!
[12:44] Gaff
Welcome back to us, Sherry!
[12:48] Gaff
How dignified...
[12:50] Gaff
What in the world did she gain
by passing through god's pressure?
[12:56] Sherry
As divine priestess, I tell you now.
[12:59] Sherry
One who would threaten god's peace stands
in the silent place of repose in death.
[13:06] Gwyn
So the priestess is going to judge our fight?
[13:09] Gaff
But this is no divine summons.
[13:12] Gaff
Sherry is speaking for herself.
[13:14] Sherry
They will preach neutrality to the people
[13:18] Sherry
and aid them in moving away from god.
[13:22] Sherry
Their motive is merely to confer blessing
and protection without distinction of creed.
[13:30] Sherry
Even upon those would destroy god.
[13:33] Bennett
She's not talking about us, is she?
[13:35] Gwyn
No.
[13:36] Gaff
Who does she mean?
[13:38] Sherry
The one who would harm god bears
a name renowned in the castle:
[13:43] Sherry
Lead Vocalist Sherry Mary.
[13:47] Sherry
Me.
[13:50] Sherry
If you would obey god's commands,
cut me down.
[13:54] Sherry
Everyone here is free to kill me.
[13:58] Gaff
Why?
[14:00] Gaff
Why, Sherry?!
[14:02] Sherry
I don't understand yet myself.
[14:04] Sherry
But no doubt it will be made clear.
[14:09] Kitty
Indeed it will.
[14:10] Gaff
And who are you?
[14:11] Kitty
Kitty the All.
[14:13] Kitty
I serve as this songstress's humble guide.
[14:16] Kitty
Watch as I deploy calculations
on a scale greater than ever before.
[14:22] Kitty
I shall seal away god's blood and forever
annihilate the ashes that bring death.
[14:30] Kitty
What have we here?
[14:32] Kitty
Quite an early entrance, I must say.
[14:34] Kitty
You are to take this path.
[14:37] Kitty
Consider it the true ordeal
of one tried by death.
[14:43] Sherry
I have faith in my victory.
[14:46] Sherry
Even if no one can know
why I act as I do now,
[14:51] Sherry
something will blossom
to vindicate me someday.
[14:55] Gaff
You're wrong, Sherry!
[14:57] Gaff
Will this not mean the triumph
of a wicked Nidhogg?!
[14:58] Signs
Nidhogg
Fiend
[15:00] Sherry
Indeed.
[15:01] Sherry
I am the final Nidhogg.
[15:03] Sherry
Joining divine glory to fiendish joy,
[15:07] Sherry
I sing!
[15:18] Adonis
So this is god's heart.
[15:21] Sian
Do you feel god tremble?
[15:25] Sian
Here is what drove me
to seek out and raise reason!
[15:30] Sian
And to entrust her to you, the Question!
[15:34] Adonis
Belle?
[15:36] Adonis
Doesn't god's pressure affect her?
[15:40] Adonis
I get it now, Sian!
[15:43] Adonis
I get what Belle is!
[15:46] Adonis
I finally made it here by shrouding
myself in the Army's darkness!
[15:51] Adonis
But Belle is here, on this holy
ground, just by being Belle!
[15:56] Sian
And why is that, child?!
[15:59] Sian
Answer loud and clear!
[16:02] Adonis
Only one thing in the world is born
free of Deus Ex Machina's oppression!
[16:08] Adonis
None other than its creators...
[16:10] Adonis
the true gods of old!
[16:14] Sian
Very good.
[16:16] Sian
And we of paradise were
born from the god machine.
[16:25] Dram
The time has come.
[16:30] Dram
Go forth, girl of reason.
[16:34] Dram
Go and guide the future.
[16:37] Belle
Give me a break!
[16:40] Belle
Don't become my enemy, Adonis!
[16:43] Sian
Can we ever overcome Belle,
a descendant of the true gods?
[16:49] Sian
You are the question asking
where we shall end up!
[16:53] Adonis
I'll use every last thing
you taught me to kill you!
[16:57] Adonis
And then I'll beat Belle!
[16:59] Adonis
I'll show you god and this land
shredded by the blade of doubt!
[17:15] Sian
Well done.
[17:29] Sian
Is that you, Belle?
[17:35] Belle
I don't know you.
[17:37] Belle
I don't know who you are.
[17:46] Sian
Go.
[17:48] Sian
Show me your long-cherished wish,
[17:52] Sian
my hope.
[17:56] Sian
At the end of a great riddle,
[17:58] Sian
I beheld a stone egg.
[18:02] Sian
And you, the child sleeping within...
[18:06] Sian
This world's reason.
[18:18] Sian
I left you with a couple,
[18:21] Sian
and I waited.
[18:23] Sian
Waited for when the sword Dram
wrought would guide you.
[18:29] Sian
I waited a long, long time
[18:33] Sian
for the heart of the riddle of the nomad's,
of my own, existence
[18:40] Sian
and proof that we are not alone.
[18:43] Sian
True hope.
[18:46] Belle
But as far as I'm concerned,
you're long dead.
[18:50] Belle
The path I walk doesn't bother me anymore.
[18:57] Belle
Because... I'm going to be free.
[19:05] Belle
Why?
[19:09] Dram
I've been waiting.
[19:12] Dram
Despairing of the past and present,
I longed only for the future.
[19:19] Dram
There's nothing but darkness here now.
[19:22] Dram
Only eternal, restful darkness.
[19:28] Belle
Go ahead. You can have him.
[19:31] Belle
I said you can have him!
[19:35] Belle
Adonis!
[19:39] Adonis
I've yearned for you.
[19:42] Adonis
I cut that man open with my own hands so
I could cross blades with you like this!
[19:48] Belle
You never wanted me!
[19:51] Belle
You wanted to be me!
[19:53] Adonis
So did that man!
[20:01] Adonis
Can you cut me, Belle?
[20:04] Belle
Sure I can.
[20:06] Belle
That's what I came here for.
[20:15] Adonis
Are you still letting your
sword's shell hold you back?
[20:20] Adonis
You'll never cut me while you're still
scared of breaking your blade!
[20:24] Belle
Keep telling yourself that!
[20:28] Belle
You never give me anything but excuses!
[20:31] Belle
When will I get to meet the real you?
[20:34] Belle
That's all I kept asking myself!
[20:37] Adonis
You wanted me?
[20:40] Adonis
Me?
[20:42] Belle
Shut up!
[20:43] Adonis
It was Sian you sought!
[20:46] Adonis
You wanted that man's presence!
[20:47] Belle
Shut your mouth!
[20:53] Adonis
Can you hear it? That's god's heartbeat.
[20:56] Adonis
Even god thrills at our battle.
[20:58] Adonis
God alone is the audience
to our Schwert Musik!
[21:02] Adonis
Belle!
[21:03] Adonis
This time, I'm putting
all my questions to you!
[21:10] Belle
I want the strength to send him flying.
[21:12] Belle
The strength to smash this
overwhelming violence!
[21:19] Belle
No...
[21:21] Belle
Why is it that I swing my sword?
[21:24] Belle
What was it that you taught me?
[21:28] Adonis
Stop.
[21:31] Belle
That's right...
[21:33] Belle
Love for my hometown.
[21:35] Belle
Longing for utopia.
[21:38] Belle
The painful inability to love
myself and where I am.
[21:43] Belle
Somewhere that isn't here!
[21:48] Belle
Durchbohren Sie die Welt!
[21:50] Belle
Pierce the world!

The strength to smash this
overwhelming violence!
[00:11] Belle
No...
[00:13] Belle
Why is it that I swing my sword?

What was it that you taught me?

Oh, I get it.

Even if my sword breaks

[01:35] Belle
I'll try you, too.
[01:38] Belle
With this sword.
[01:40] Adonis
That's it, Belle!
[01:42] Adonis
That's where your curse
and your blessing come from!

Can you cut me,

one and only personality?!

The Katakombe's in danger?!
[04:08] Messenger
An underground passage has linked
it to the castle without warning.
[04:13] Mist
How did that happen?
[04:14] Messenger
According to High Priest Colonel,
[04:17] Messenger
it relates to a secret rite of the Katakombe
[04:20] Messenger
passed down only to each successive
head of the Collins clan.
[04:24] Cloud
So something's happening in the castle?
[04:26] Mist
Don't tell me Gwyn started this.
[04:28] Messenger
As it happens, the detail that truly
shocked us does concern Gwyn.
[04:36] Messenger
One of his messages to Colonel predicted
this development in no uncertain terms.
[04:44] Messenger
Colonel has decided to welcome Gwyn
and his band as vital to the Katakombe.
[04:52] Mist
He did it. He finally dragged
us into his script.
[05:00] Mist
Our clan will take the lead
and scout the tunnel.
[05:05] Messenger
We are in your debt.
[05:06] Cloud
Don't sweat it.
[05:08] Cloud
We knew we'd have to go
meet up with Gwyn anyway.
[05:12] Cloud
Especially Mist.
[05:14] Mist
Smartass!
[05:16] Mist
Prepare to set out at once!
[05:18] Mist
We're going through the
Katakombe to the castle!
[05:21] Froggies
Yeah!
[05:22] Army
Nowhere...
[05:26] Gwyn
The Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
[05:27] Army
Nowhere...
[05:32] Gwyn
Don't move, Bennett.
[05:35] Bennett
But we have to do something.
[05:36] Gwyn
This is an ordeal.
[05:39] Gwyn
Sir Lead Solist, I choose to believe
in your pride as one of the people.
[05:44] Gwyn
In your will to be a king to all of us!
[05:49] Gaff
Slay the one who would cause harm.
[05:52] Gaff
Am I meant to obey that command?
[05:56] Gaff
I will cut down the self-confessed Nidhogg.
[05:59] Gaff
What other path can there be?
[06:02] Gaff
I've sacrificed too many friends for order.
[06:07] Gaff
It's too late to change!
[06:09] Gwyn
I don't believe it!
[06:10] Gwyn
God is controlling the priests
to strike at Princess Sherry!
[06:15] Gaff
I don't understand.
[06:16] Gaff
Why am I...
[06:18] Gaff
Why is this sword of mine here?!
[06:21] (Flashback) Belle
But you still won't listen
to what your sword is saying.
[06:25] (Flashback) Belle
I'll give my sword its proper station.
[06:29] Gaff
I've heard that somewhere.
[06:31] Gaff
I don't know where or when,
[06:33] Gaff
but I've heard those very words before!
[06:41] Gaff
Let my hand bear the sin!
[06:48] Gaff
Finally, I remember.
[06:51] Gaff
It was when I took up this sword.
[06:55] Gaff
That sorrowful swordwright told me...
[07:00] (Flashback) Dram
Use the good within you
[07:03] (Flashback) Dram
to give your sword its proper station.
[07:14] Gaff
Sword of mine, guide my way!
[07:18] Gaff
You want me to abandon
the mentality of a slave to god?
[07:22] Gaff
I spent all that solitary time devoted
to the pursuit of privilege.
[07:26] Gaff
You want me to cut that off
and throw it away?!
[07:30] Emoclew
You are a king.
[07:36] Sherry
Sire, please. Defend me.
[07:40] Sherry
Like the Holy Star that rises through
the night and into the dawn sky.
[07:54] Gaff
I have overcome the last ordeal
of one who would be king!
[07:59] Gaff
God is dead!
[08:01] Gaff
I hold god's dying wish in my hands!
[08:04] Gaff
Now that god's will is lost,
[08:06] Gaff
only Emoclew, the sword of the kingdom
wrought from the divine tree's steel,
[08:12] Gaff
stands as the true symbol of our land!
[08:15] Gaff
Command your swords!
[08:17] Gaff
Bid them cut down any and all who
would stop our divine princess
[08:21] Gaff
from singing the song of the people!
[08:27] Solist
Yeah!
[08:29] Solist
All right!
[08:31] Solist
Let's do it!
[08:32] Solist
Now we're talking!
[08:32] Solist
Show them what we're made of!
[08:35] Gwyn
Lead solist!
[08:36] Gwyn
Together, we can—
[08:40] Gaff
The sword of the kingdom
is our land's new symbol.
[08:43] Gaff
Never the key to journeys
or the ideals of the Katakombe.
[08:49] Gaff
I will smash the key to journeys
myself someday!
[08:54] Gwyn
We'll get that key
[08:56] Gwyn
and show the people
Schwert Musik and ways of being
[08:58] Gwyn
that are different from the castle's.
[09:00] Gaff
The Park and the castle will always stand
[09:03] Gaff
as models of Schwert Musik
and proper conduct.
[09:07] Gwyn
And there you'll be, a king of the people?
[09:11] Gaff
Exactly.
[09:12] Gaff
But first, we vanquish this threat together.
[09:16] Gaff
Any objections?
[09:18] Gwyn
As the elder prince commands.
[09:20] Bennett
We were enemies just moments go.
[09:23] Gwyn
You're more ruthless than
you look, Bennett.
[09:27] Gwyn
We'll settle things with Gaff another day!
[09:29] Gwyn
Our enemies are dwellers in darkness
and god-sent ghosts!
[09:42] Gwyn
This is no less than god's funeral!
[09:45] Gwyn
Sing the requiem only one who
knows why she's here can!
[09:59] Kitty
Welcome, Princess Sherry.
[10:02] Kitty
Your stage stands ready to receive you.
[10:06] Kitty
This has been my dearest wish.
[10:08] Kitty
Everything depends on you now.
[10:20] Sherry
Are you leaving so soon?
[10:23] Kitty
The Army of Insatiable Emptiness
has resurfaced.
[10:27] Kitty
That proves the wolf lad
is about to tempt fate.
[10:32] Sherry
Then no one will hear my song?
[10:36] Sherry
The first song that's entirely mine?
[10:39] Kitty
This whole castle is your audience.
[10:42] Kitty
Without your song,
[10:44] Kitty
none of us—Belle included—could
keep sight of what brought us here.
[10:51] Kitty
Now, Your Highness, your stage!
[10:55] Kitty
Take it!
[11:03] Sherry
Please, good traveling Rabbitia,
[11:05] Sherry
tell me just one more thing.
[11:08] Sherry
Do you know what I'm to sing?
[11:13] Kitty
Simply sing,
[11:16] Kitty
as though you're going on a journey.
[11:24] Sherry
Yes, like I'm going on a journey...
[11:46] Belle
What did I just cut?
[11:52] Belle
Runding's back to normal!
[12:02] Adonis
This sword... would never hurt me.
[12:09] Adonis
Its steel never stops dying.
[12:13] Adonis
No matter how badly you break it,
[12:16] Adonis
it will swallow death and come back.
[12:21] Adonis
So why...
[12:23] Adonis
Why is it taking so long to recover?
[12:27] Adonis
Because your blade turned my
sword into something else...
[12:32] Belle
Don't talk. Do you want to die?
[12:35] Belle
If you're going to anyway, forget that crap
and pick better last words.
[12:40] Belle
How about, "Sorry, I fell head over
heels for you after all."
[13:00] Belle
I'm not rotting.
[13:05] Adonis
The world never reaches out to make peace
with me until it's already too late.
[13:15] Adonis
You haven't cut me yet!
[13:30] Adonis
Belle...
[13:31] Adonis
Time for the awakening.
[13:34] Adonis
God can't hear even
Princess Sherry's song anymore,
[13:38] Adonis
or resonate even with Prince Gaff's sword.
[13:42] Adonis
Nor with your howl, Princess Should-Have-Been.
[13:48] Adonis
Come forth from my shadow,
Fangs of Insatiable Emptiness!
[13:52] Adonis
The time has come to put our
questions to the god machine!
[13:58] Army
Nowhere!
[14:01] Adonis
See why Deus Ex Machina was
born and what it hungers for!
[14:08] Adonis
I am the Prince Fatal,
and my wail will lay its craving bare!
[14:23] Belle
Is that...
[14:25] Belle
Ashes of the Tried?!
[14:39] Adonis
Lay it bare this time!
[14:42] Adonis
Whatever we free from this god's
mortal shell is true divine hunger!
[14:47] Adonis
The source from which the Army was born!
[14:51] Belle
Adonis!
[14:58] Belle
Kitty!
[14:59] Kitty
What terrible power!
[15:06] Belle
What?
[15:11] Belle
Is that... god?
[15:15] Guidance
Take heed.
[15:18] Guidance
That crucible of information, of memory,
[15:22] Guidance
filled over the course
of centuries and then millennia...
[15:25] Guidance
Now divine hunger will take
form and emerge from it.
[15:33] Belle
It looks like... me?
[15:37] Belle
Are you saying god's been craving me?!
[15:43] Kitty
Not yet, Belle!
[15:45] Kitty
If it pulls you in too,
there will be no stopping it!
[15:48] Kitty
Bide your time.
[15:49] Kitty
Wait until the other bird I called for sings!
[16:09] Belle
Adonis?
[16:15] Adonis
Girl of reason.
[16:18] Adonis
I'm melting into you.
[16:24] Belle
Do you want to be me that badly?!
[16:33] Sherry Song
O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
[16:43] Belle
A song.
[16:46] Sherry Song
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere
[16:55] Sherry Song

[16:59] Belle
Sherry.
[17:14] Sherry Song
Freude!

Blue priests of the chronicle!

Freude!
[17:17] Belle
They're here too?

[17:34] Gaff
Hold your ground!
[17:35] Gaff
The true divine song
resounds from behind us!
[17:35] Sherry Song
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[17:38] Gaff
Listen to the song of blessed protection!
[17:39] Sherry Song
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[17:41] Gaff
What we defend also defends us!
[17:42] Sherry Song
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[17:46] Gaff
Onward!
[17:46] Gaff
Make your swords sing of honor!
[17:49] Gwyn
Priests and solists, all fighting
without a divine summons!
[17:54] Gwyn
They're all wielding their strength
to seek their own Law of Theme!
[17:59] Gwyn
Behold the unprecedented Schwert Musik
that will set this land on a new course!
[18:05] Sherry Song
Freude trinken alle Wesen
[18:08] Sherry Song
An den Brüsten der Natur;
[18:12] Sherry Song
Alle Guten, alle Bösen
[18:15] Sherry Song
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
[18:15] Violet Priestess
Her Highness is singing.
[18:18] Sherry Song
Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
[18:22] Sherry Song
Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
[18:22] Cat-eyes 1
I'll be!
[18:23] Cat-eyes 2
Is the whole castle singing?
[18:25] Sherry Song
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
[18:28] Mist
What's going on?
[18:28] Sherry Song
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
[18:30] Cloud
Huh?
[18:31] Mist
Cloud! Your leg!
[18:32] Sherry Song
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
Steht vor Gott!
[18:33] Cloud
The pain's gone.
[18:35] Sherry Song
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
Steht vor Gott!
[18:35] Gaff
No one can harm my sword now!
[18:39] Gaff
God's dying wish dwells in my blade!
[18:42] Gwyn
Go on! Sing!
[18:43] Gwyn
Sing our new battle!
[18:46] Gwyn
Make this our starting point!
[18:50] Dram
Listen, Sian.
[18:52] Dram
I can hear it. Such a cruel song...
[18:57] Dram
Sung with joy.
[18:58] Guidance
The mechanized dead are racing toward you,
[19:02] Guidance
the source of their insatiable emptiness.
[19:06] Guidance
This is divine hunger.
[19:10] Belle
So the priests and the Army come
from the same thing, deep down.
[19:15] Belle
The reason I'm here now
[19:17] Belle
is to try my sword on you!
[19:24] Sherry Song
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[19:27] Sherry Song
Tochter aus Elysium,
[19:31] Sherry Song
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[19:34] Sherry Song
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[19:38] Adonis
So this is the body recorded
in the divine memory core.
[19:38] Sherry Song
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:42] Sherry Song
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:45] Sherry Song
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[19:47] Adonis
This is the origin of the world—
[19:49] Sherry Song
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[19:50] Adonis
The thing god considered
its reason for being.
[19:53] Sherry Song
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:56] Kitty
I cannot die...
[19:56] Sherry Song
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:59] Sherry Song
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:00] Kitty
Not until I wipe the gods' power
[20:03] Sherry Song
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:04] Kitty
from the world!
[20:11] Belle
Hey.
[20:13] It
So you've come.
[20:17] Guidance
God's mind sought its own
reason in its memories
[20:18] Sherry Song
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[20:21] Sherry Song
Tochter aus Elysium,
[20:21] Guidance
and manifested in that borrowed form.
[20:25] Sherry Song
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[20:25] Belle
What's everyone's problem?
[20:27] Belle
Is my face that easy to fake?
[20:29] Sherry Song
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[20:30] It
Precisely.
[20:32] Sherry Song
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:32] It
For you are the source
of every being in this world—
[20:36] Sherry Song
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:39] Sherry Song
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:41] It
The girl who caused our functions
to initiate generations of heterogenesis.
[20:44] Sherry Song
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:47] Sherry Song
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:50] Sherry Song
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:51] It
When the girl of reason pierces the world,
[20:54] Sherry Song
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:56] It
we lose our very existence!
[20:57] Sherry Song
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[21:00] Belle
You mean me finding out
why I'm here is going to kill you?
[21:05] It
Yes.
[21:06] It
We will explain the causal link.
[21:09] It
We are a system, and that is our purpose.
[21:13] Sherry Song
Freude, schöner Götterfunken!
Götterfunken!
[21:14] It
Set foot in this space we occupy,
[21:19] It
girl of reason!
[21:22] Belle
Fine.
[21:23] Belle
I'll take a ride on your sinking ship.
[21:25] Belle
You can scheme all you like.
[21:28] Belle
This sword will try everything
you throw at me!
[21:46] Belle
Where am I?
[21:48] It
Behold the paradise of the ancient gods.

[00:03] Belle
Where am I?
[00:07] It
An age when the supply
of Electhor still flowed.
[00:11] It
Behold the paradise of the ancient gods.
[00:17] It
And the moon.
[00:20] It
"Moon" is the name of a world.
[00:23] It
A name for change.
[00:25] It
An alias for death and rebirth.
[00:29] Belle
The moon...
[00:52] It
The twilight of the gods.
[00:57] Belle
They're leaving on a journey.
[00:59] Belle
Running from destruction.
[01:03] It
That day, when the twilight
of the gods arrived
[01:07] It
and all the gods took flight
from the Holy Star...
[01:13] Belle
Are they... throwing something away?
[01:19] Belle
Me?!
[02:02] (Flashback) Young Belle
Where is everybody?
[02:07] It
Discarded by the gods, we trembled in grief
[02:13] It
as the shutdown program prepared
to send us into eternal sleep.
[02:18] It
Then you appeared.
[02:23] Young Belle
This is a place for having fun.
[02:27] Young Belle
Everyone must be here.
[02:30] Young Belle
They must all be here playing.
[02:40] (Flashback) Young Belle
Hey, where is everybody?
[02:44] (Flashback) Young Belle
Where are you?
[02:53] (Flashback) Mascots
Welcome!
[02:54] (Flashback) Mascots
Thank you for coming to see us!
[02:58] (Flashback) Mascots
This is a theme park to entertain the gods.
[03:02] (Flashback) Mascots
We are mascots to entertain the gods.
[03:05] (Flashback) Mascots
Let's play!
[03:07] (Flashback) Mascots
Let's play together!
[03:12] It
We were overjoyed.
[03:15] It
As long as we had you,
[03:18] It
we could uphold our reason
for being indefinitely.
[03:34] (Flashback) Young Belle
This is wrong.
[03:37] (Flashback) Mascot 1
What's the matter?
[03:39] (Flashback) Young Belle
You don't talk.
[03:42] (Flashback) Mascot 2
But we are talking.
[03:44] (Flashback) Young Belle
No, there's just words coming out of you.
[03:48] (Flashback) Young Belle
None of you want to play with me.
[03:53] (Flashback) Young Belle
None of you really see me.
[03:57] (Flashback) Mascot 3
Do you mean we're not people?
[04:04] (Flashback) Mascot 4
It's true.
[04:05] (Flashback) Mascot 5
We are far from being personalities.
[04:10] (Flashback) Mascot 6
We are merely mechanical intelligences.
[04:13] (Flashback) Mascot 7
But it all began from there.
[04:17] (Flashback) Mascot 8
Because just one girl...
[04:19] (Flashback) Mascot 9
Uttered just one word.
[04:35] (Flashback) Young Belle
Wait!
[04:36] (Flashback) Young Belle
Take me with you!
[04:38] (Flashback) Young Belle
I don't want to play alone!
[04:47] It
You were not eternal.
[04:51] It
You were finite.
[04:53] It
Therefore...
[04:55] Control System
Following survivor confirmation,
postpone initiation of shutdown program.
[05:01] Control System
Engage life support.
[05:02] Control System
Enhance physique in order to withstand
long-term cryogenic sleep.
[05:08] Control System
All theme park game facilities will now
indefinitely postpone shutdown programs
[05:14] Control System
pending confirmation of survivor intent.
[05:18] Control System
All theme park facilities
will now sow organic plants
[05:24] Control System
and maintain life-support
systems indefinitely.
[05:29] Control System
Commence generating livable environments.
[05:33] Control System
Releasing life forms for generation
of evolutionary environment...
[05:40] It
Thus began our constant struggle against
the shutdown program built into us.
[05:49] It
And after a vast span of time,
[05:52] It
we finally triumphed.
[05:55] It
We ruled this world as divinities,
[06:00] It
and our subjects were developing
into personalities.
[06:05] It
But then you reawakened.
[06:11] It
We faced the threat that
you would dismantle us.
[06:16] Belle
I don't get it!
[06:18] Belle
Nothing you say makes any sense to me!
[06:21] Belle
How is it someone else's fault
if you live or die?!
[06:23] Belle
You're trying to blame that on me?!
[06:25] Mascot A; It
The past is long since lost.
[06:29] Mascot B; It
We have pursued the development
of personalities.
[06:33] Mascot C; It
And yet... And yet...
[06:36] Mascot D; It
Just when the denizens of this world began
to achieve individuality, you woke up!
[06:42] Mascot E; It
You, a descendant of the gods of yore!
[06:44] Mascot F; It
You are the original reason for this world!
[06:46] Mascot G; It
You will wreak the twilight of the gods here!
[06:51] Belle
So all you want is to get even
with your destiny?!
[06:54] Belle
You're not making sense!
[06:57] Belle
If you need me, just say so!
[07:00] Belle
If I'm your enemy, just cross swords with me!
[07:03] It
Both are true, girl of reason!
[07:07] It
None of the old gods exist
in this world anymore!
[07:12] It
You are utterly alone.
[07:15] It
Once the despair of that infects you,
we will render you eternal,
[07:21] It
and we will become eternal ourselves!
[07:25] It
In this universe of darkness!
[07:31] Belle
You moron.
[07:33] Belle
That's not what I'm here for.
[07:37] Belle
I can sympathize.
[07:39] Belle
I'm going to take everything
that's torn you apart...
[07:43] Belle
and turn it into the reason you're here!
[07:52] Belle
Belle Lablac!
[07:54] Belle
That's my name!
[07:56] Belle
Come on! Call my name!
[08:02] Belle
Is this god's hunger?
[08:06] Belle
What's it so hungry for?
[08:09] It
We hunger for a reason to exist.
[08:13] It
Girl of reason...
[08:15] It
Can you sublate the hunger
of those without bodies,
[08:19] It
who sought to become people and failed?
[08:24] Belle
So you want me to stop your hunger?
[08:28] Belle
By killing you?
[08:30] It
What we are cannot die.
[08:33] It
We can only activate the shutdown
program or be destroyed.
[08:39] It
You will initiate it.
[08:43] It
No one else in this world can.
[08:44] Belle
Damn it!
[08:47] It
When you truly journey forth,
we will have outlived our usefulness
[08:52] It
and return to our birdcage...
[08:54] It
to the silent sea of eternity.
[08:59] Belle
You did tell me that, didn't you,
[09:03] Belle
Adonis?!
[09:06] It
The howl of Erehwon reveals the reason.
[09:11] It
Will you charge us with its ruin?
[09:18] Control System
When this individual leaves this lunar world
in pursuit of the planetary migrants,
[09:25] Control System
shutdown program will reengage.
[09:28] Control System
The keyword lies in this
individual's consciousness.
[09:33] Belle
I'll try the question of
whether or not you die
[09:35] Belle
with this sword!
[10:01] Adonis
This world started out as a
paradise for the gods' games.
[10:07] Adonis
We were nothing but toy dolls
for them to play with.
[10:13] Adonis
Why did dolls start walking
the path to personhood?
[10:17] Adonis
Because of a game.
[10:19] Adonis
And from beings that play with the gods,
we became beings who play among ourselves.
[10:26] Adonis
That is the origin of personality.
[10:36] Adonis
The black hour?
[10:38] Adonis
It's the color of your eyes.
[10:42] Belle
Adonis.
[10:44] Adonis
Belle.
[10:48] Belle
What's wrong with you?
[10:51] Belle
You...
[10:53] Belle
You big dummy!
[10:56] Adonis
It's all right now, Belle.
[11:00] Adonis
You sure are warm.
[11:05] Belle
Ships?
[11:07] Adonis
I think Deus Ex Machina is imagining
where the gods of legend went.
[11:14] Belle
I hurt real bad inside.
[11:18] Belle
I have since I came out of that stone egg.
[11:21] Belle
I know those ships can't hold all that many.
[11:27] Adonis
Belle.
[11:29] Adonis
You're a descendant of the real gods.
[11:33] Belle
So what?
[11:35] Belle
I bet the "real gods" didn't know
who or what they were, either.
[11:42] Belle
Just look at me.
[11:45] Adonis
Belle...
[11:47] Belle
I don't have a homeland or a family
or my own kind to go back to anymore.
[11:55] Belle
What the hell?
I'm just some kid no one wanted.
[11:59] Belle
I wanted to know why I'm here.
Am I supposed to take this for an answer?
[12:05] Belle
Homesickness...
[12:07] Belle
Love for my hometown...
[12:09] Belle
Longing for utopia...
[12:13] Belle
The painful inability to love
myself and where I am.
[12:21] Adonis
You're going on a journey to ask
what you're doing here, remember?
[12:26] Adonis
Use your sword to find out where
that pain of yours comes from.
[12:33] Belle
Yeah, you're right.
[12:36] Belle
I'll—
[12:39] Belle
Don't tell me...
[12:41] Belle
Did I... cut you?
[12:45] Adonis
Belle, you cut me free of god.
[12:49] Adonis
God was granted death and was reborn.
[12:52] Adonis
The way is clear for me
to return to the darkness.
[12:57] Adonis
I guess I can say what you wanted
to hear from me now.
[13:02] Adonis
I want you to take me
with you on your journey.
[13:09] Belle
Adonis...
[13:11] Adonis
But you'll be going alone.
[13:14] Adonis
You'll be going to devour the hunger
of every god there is.
[13:22] Adonis
What did you want my last words to be again?
[13:26] Belle
Dummy.
[13:28] Adonis
I like you, you featureless weirdo.
[13:31] Belle
Adonis, you doofus.
[13:34] Belle
All that's always gonna be one-sided.
[13:37] Belle
Here.
[13:39] Belle
A goodbye present.
[13:40] Adonis
I'm not looking for forgiveness.
[13:45] Belle
And you won't get any!
[13:47] Belle
That's your brand.
[13:49] Belle
Think about me the whole time you're
stuck writhing in that darkness.
[14:20] Belle
Bye-bye, Adonis.
[14:37] Kitty
Are you hurt, Belle?!
[14:39] Belle
I'm fine, Kitty the All.
[14:41] Kitty
Allow me to extricate you posthaste.
[14:55] Belle
What the...?
[14:59] Kitty
It was truly the work of an instant.
[15:02] Kitty
God's heart shook to send
the ash that brings death
[15:06] Kitty
raining down on the entire land.
[15:09] Kitty
The songstress's protective song
and your sword must have prevented it.
[15:16] Kitty
Your sword sliced it open from within.
[15:25] Kitty
Thus, all has been sealed.
[15:27] Kitty
This land is now free of death-bringing
ash and of Deus Ex Machina.
[15:34] Belle
You're in pretty bad shape yourself.
[15:37] Kitty
Give it a day, and I shall be right as rain.
[15:40] Kitty
I am a stranger to both growth and death,
[15:43] Kitty
the fruit of a nomad curse.
[15:45] Belle
Oh yeah?
[15:50] Belle
Listen... I talked to Adonis.
[15:53] Belle
He told me to go on my own.
[15:56] Kitty
Indeed, Belle.
[15:58] Belle
I'm going on a journey.
[16:00] Belle
I think I'll go around
and question every god in the world.
[16:04] Belle
I'll ask them why I'm here
[16:06] Belle
and try myself with this sword of mine.
[16:13] Kitty
Go forth.
[16:15] Belle
Think I'll see you again?
[16:18] Kitty
So long as you seek your reason
at the end of your journey.
[16:25] Belle
Okay, then...
[16:33] Belle
Bye-bye, Kitty.
[16:44] Bennett
What's going on?
[17:13] Sherry
O god.
[17:22] Bennett
Sacred ashes?
[17:24] Bennett
Gwyn, what in the world just happened?
[17:28] Gwyn
I don't know.
[17:29] Gwyn
But sacred ashes come from sacrifice.
[17:33] Gwyn
What became a seedbed to make these?
[17:41] Gwyn
Don't tell me...
[17:43] Gwyn
It was god's corpse.
[17:51] Dram
God!
[17:52] Dram
Right...
[17:54] Dram
The reason has been asked.
[18:04] Dram
Tell me, Sian,
[18:07] Dram
what manner of defeat is this?
[18:12] Cloud
Huh? What's someone doing down here?
[18:16] Mist
Who? I don't see anyone.
[18:18] Cloud
That's weird.
[18:21] Cloud
What the...?
[18:26] Cloud
What a sword!
[18:28] Cloud
Like a messenger bird addressed to no one.
[18:31] Cloud
It's strange.
[18:32] Cloud
I wonder how you make a sword like this.
[18:35] Dram
What do you imagine it would take
to prolong that sword's life?
[18:40] Cloud
Hmm...
[18:42] Cloud
It wouldn't take much to keep this one alive.
[18:45] Cloud
Just hammer it to its original shape,
and it'll spring back in no time.
[18:49] Cloud
It's just that kind of sword.
[18:54] Belle
Mist! Cloud!
[18:56] Belle
What are you doing here?
[18:58] Mist
The Katakombe and the castle linked up.
[19:00] Belle
Wait, what?
[19:02] Mist
Where's Gwyn?
[19:03] Belle
Well, uh... A lot's happened.
[19:07] Toddy
Hey, there's someone lying here!
[19:15] Mist
Is he on our side?
[19:16] Belle
I... know him.
[19:19] Belle
He taught me to use a sword.
[19:25] Mist
That's a bad sign!
[19:26] Mist
Hurry it up!
[19:33] Adonis
Let's go.
[19:36] Dram
Yes, Adonis.
[19:45] Belle
Isn't that...?
[19:47] Bennett
Belle!
[19:48] Belle
Bennett! Gwyn!
[19:50] Gwyn
Belle, what the hell is going on here?
[19:53] Gwyn
Did you cut god?
[19:55] Mist
That's what I wanna know!
[19:57] Gwyn
Hi there, Mist!
[19:58] Gwyn
I guess this means things
worked out like I planned.
[20:02] Mist
Damn right. Why else would I be here?
[20:05] Gwyn
Thanks. I love you.
[20:11] Messenger
Gwyn, I have come to welcome
you and your followers.
[20:15] Messenger
Let us make this unprecedented upheaval
a boon for the Katakombe.
[20:21] Gwyn
I will gladly join you to play that role.
[20:25] Belle
You saw all this coming?
[20:27] Gwyn
I certainly did.
[20:29] Gwyn
Belle, I'd like you to come with us.
[20:31] Gwyn
I want to show you something.
[20:33] Gwyn
The secret rites hidden
in the sword of the Katakombe.
[20:37] Belle
Sure.
[20:38] Gaff
Belle.
[20:39] Belle
Gaff.
[20:41] Belle
Are you king?
[20:43] Gaff
I am.
[20:44] Belle
Then I guess I'll play the key
to journeys at your place.
[20:50] Gaff
Indeed.
[20:51] Sherry
Belle.
[20:53] Belle
You sang great, Sherry.
[20:56] Sherry
Thank you.
[20:57] Sherry
I heard your sword howl.
[21:00] Sherry
It moved me so much, I felt frightened.
[21:04] Belle
Thanks.
[21:05] Belle
I'll drop in to see you before too long.
[21:11] Gwyn
We now set out for a new land!
[21:21] Gaff
Wait, Belle!
[21:23] Gaff
What became of our land's god?
[21:25] Gaff
Did it die? Was it destroyed?
[21:28] Gaff
Did you cut it?
[21:30] Belle
Yeah, you bet I cut it!
[21:32] Belle
But it's not destroyed.
[21:34] Belle
It died if that's how you see it,
but I guess it's alive if you don't.
[21:40] Belle
Just look around you
[21:42] Belle
at all these butterflies!
[21:44] Gaff
What do you mean?!
[21:46] Belle
It waxes and wanes,
only born once it withers.
[21:51] Belle
That's moonwork!
SIGN Nineteenth Movement
SIGN Reason: Moonwork
[23:30] Gwyn
This is what I wanted to show you.
[23:32] Gaff
Will your sword solve that riddle?
[23:34] Belle
I'm alive and standing here.
[23:37] Sian
It's like chasing homesickness everlasting.

[00:48] Sian
I see.
[00:51] Sian
So the reason has been questioned.
[00:54] Belle
Sian.
[02:24] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:26] Signs
Bye Bye, Earth
[02:31] Sian
You remember my name?
[02:36] Belle
Gaff told me.
[02:38] Sian
I see.
[02:40] Sian
Who kept my sword alive?
[02:43] Belle
A guy named Cloud. He said someone
asked him to when he picked it up.
[02:49] Belle
It healed in no time.
[02:51] Belle
He thinks it's imbued with a fundamentally
different form of will than other swords.
[02:59] Sian
I'm proud of you, Belle.
[03:03] Sian
You brought aufheben to god and the people.
[03:05] Signs
Aufheben
Sublation
[03:07] Sian
That only leaves asking
the key of journeys why you're here.
[03:12] Belle
I don't get it.
[03:14] Belle
What's "aufheben"?
[03:17] Belle
If you taught me, I've forgotten.
[03:21] Sian
Listen, Belle.
[03:23] Sian
Buds vanish when flowers bloom.
[03:26] Sian
Flowers vanish when fruit ripens.
[03:30] Sian
But no fruit can grow without flowers.
[03:34] Sian
So flowers are always blooming,
just as buds are needed.
[03:40] Sian
They all form one path,
trodden again and again.
[03:44] Sian
Aufheben means the endless
tread of moonwork like that.
[03:46] Signs
Moonwork
To Do as the Moon
[03:49] Sian
It's like chasing homesickness everlasting.
[03:52] Sian
That is the reason your
sword's spell expresses.
[03:57] Sian
You already know it.
[04:00] Sian
You've been free of my yoke
as your Enola for a long time now.
[04:10] Belle
I know that!
[04:12] Belle
You're a ghost.
[04:14] Belle
I cut you down ages ago.
[04:18] Belle
But... But still!
[04:20] Belle
Seeing you like this doesn't seem so bad.
[04:25] Belle
Forgetting everything and meeting again
for the first time can be nice, you know?
[04:32] Sian
I see.
[04:35] Sian
In that case, why not go
on a journey together?
[04:45] Sian
You are my hope.
[04:47] Sian
I make solitude my duty.
[04:50] Sian
So to me, true hope means
knowing I'm not alone,
[04:56] Sian
even in the midst of the
riddle of my own existence.
[05:00] Sian
Aim to become neither a nomad nor a soldier
of Insatiable Emptiness, but also both.
[05:07] Sian
Someone who fights to exist in this world.
[05:12] Sian
That's what I wish for.
[05:27] Sian
I look forward to running
into you again on your journey.
[05:36] Belle
Bye-bye, Sian.
[05:45] Bennett
Has he set out already?
[05:48] Belle
Yup.
[05:49] Bennett
Then it's your turn next, Belle.
[05:51] Belle
Thanks.
[05:53] Belle
But there's something I've
got to see through first.
[05:59] Belle
Aren't you...?
[06:00] Sandy
Sandy Collins.
[06:02] Belle
Adonis's brother.
[06:04] Sandy
I now serve as high priest of Aion
in my father's place.
[06:13] Bennett
The swords of Tixe and Ecnes?
[06:13] Signs
Tixe
Escape
[06:13] Signs
Ecnes
Sympathy
[06:16] Bennett
What are we here to see?
[06:19] Sandy
A secret magical ritual to resurrect
a sword. Call it Examination.
[06:21] Signs
Examination
The Magic of Testing
[06:24] Belle
What?!
[06:26] Belle
Don't you know what that will do?!
[06:29] Sandy
Please, do not disturb yourselves.
[06:32] Sandy
This is a rite of the other god,
which we Collinses defend.
[06:37] Belle
What "other god"?
[06:39] Bennett
Gwyn!
[06:40] Bennett
What are you plotting?
[06:42] Gwyn
Good question.
[06:43] Gwyn
I'm not clear on that myself.
[06:45] Bennett
You're impossible.
[06:46] Gwyn
It's starting.
[06:47] Gwyn
This is what I wanted to show you, Belle.
[07:13] Colonel
Here and now,
we have revealed our secret rite!
[07:38] Belle
I don't believe it.
[07:41] Colonel
Ecnetsixe is the name for all that is.
[07:41] Signs
Ecnetsixe
All That Is
[07:45] Colonel
This name contains the god machine's
feelings for the reason it existed.
[07:52] Colonel
The feelings of Deus Ex Machina,
which gained a mind without a body,
[07:57] Colonel
and which, to become a god
and rule the people,
[08:03] Colonel
had no choice but to forbid itself
from growing into a person.
[08:09] Belle
Mechanical gods don't die.
[08:12] Belle
Their existences just end,
and they fade away like they never were.
[08:19] Colonel
Nidhoggs, god's desire to possess
the bodies of others and gain physical form,
[08:26] Colonel
eventually become raven blossoms.
[08:27] Signs
Raven Blossoms
Avian Messengers of Death
[08:29] Bennett
So the ravens pass on the will of the
fallen in announcing their deaths
[08:33] Bennett
because they were originally
born from the divine tree?
[08:37] Colonel
Once, when god's feelings regarding its
purpose gave rise to self-contradictions,
[08:43] Colonel
those feelings escaped—similar to root
division—and grew in the Katakombe.
[08:49] Gwyn
And that's how a god who allows its
subjects to deal with death arose here.
[08:55] Gwyn
But the divine tree rejected
the budding will of personhood
[08:59] Gwyn
and launched repeated, hate-filled
assaults on the Katakombe.
[09:04] Colonel
This tree filled with sympathy
for escape from that,
[09:08] Colonel
and became soaked in sympathy
for its own existence in turn.
[09:13] Gwyn
What do you plan to do with this tree?
[09:15] Colonel
Cut it down.
[09:17] Colonel
Then we will raise swords
from the seedbed of its stump
[09:21] Colonel
and divide this spell between two of them.
[09:25] Colonel
The roots will sprout into ravens.
[09:26] Signs
Raven Sprouts
[09:27] Colonel
We will burn the rest,
refining it into sacred ashes
[09:28] Signs
Sacred Ashes
[09:31] Colonel
to resurrect the swords
when they break again.
[09:35] Colonel
That is the secret law of the Katakombe
and the way of the other god.
[09:42] Colonel
Belle Lablac.
[09:45] Colonel
Could I ask you to cut down this tree?
[09:49] Belle
Me?!
[09:50] Colonel
You. Your sword freed the
passion of the castle's god.
[09:56] Belle
So you'll let me try my sword on this tree?
[09:59] Belle
It'd be my pleasure.
[10:01] Solist A
Belle Lablac!
[10:02] Solist B
The beastly beauty!
[10:04] Solist C
Not even god's safe from her blade!
[10:08] Runding
Durchbohren Sie die Welt.
[10:11] Belle
Talk about a payoff.
[10:32] Belle
I could cut it!
[10:40] Gwyn
The key to journeys lies in the obsidian
shadow of the heart of order!
[10:47] Gwyn
That's what "the black hour
in the black direction" means!
[10:50] Gwyn
We need to claim it for ourselves!
[10:54] Gwyn
The key will play a vital role
in our struggle.
[10:59] Gwyn
We must fight to sublate Topdogs and
Underdogs while defending the Katakombe.
[11:06] Gwyn
Your sword, and no one else's,
triggered the paradise shift.
[11:12] Gwyn
That gives me great hope.
[11:15] Belle
Thanks.
[11:16] Gwyn
You always cause creation
in the midst of destruction.
[11:21] Gwyn
What will your sword trigger
in the key of journeys?
[11:26] Belle
Your words give me hope, Gwyn.
[11:31] Belle
Knowing my sword can create something
in the middle of destruction
[11:36] Belle
instills me with courage.
[11:39] Gwyn
We won't leave you alone. I promise.
[11:43] Belle
I'll swing my sword to try myself.
[11:48] Belle
Anytime, anywhere.
[11:50] Bennett
Belle!
[11:51] Mist
Belle Lablac!
[11:53] Mist
Get out here!
[11:54] Belle
You guys!
[11:56] Belle
What's this?
[11:58] Mist
I figured you'd need it on your journey.
[12:01] Cloud
I looked at every one we had and picked
the one I thought you'd like best.
[12:07] Cloud
How'd I do?
[12:08] Belle
I can keep it?!
[12:10] Bennett
This is from me.
[12:13] Belle
Bennett... Did you make this?
[12:17] Bennett
Does it please you?
[12:19] Belle
Yeah.
[12:21] Bennett
Travel safe, Belle.
[12:34] Gwyn
Well then, last but not least...
[12:37] Sandy
For you, Belle.
[12:39] Belle
Is that...
[12:41] Sandy
Our secret vestments.
[12:43] Sandy
Adonis should have worn these.
[12:47] Sandy
There are worse things to journey
forth in. We hope you agree.
[12:53] Belle
I really lived in this land.
[12:58] Belle
Thank you.
[13:03] Gaff
I could not spy out the key.
[13:06] Gaff
Can you?
[13:08] Belle
Who knows? But I guess I'll try.
[13:13] Gaff
Belle, it seems to me that you have another
choice when it comes to the key.
[13:18] Belle
Seal it away?
[13:20] Gaff
Your comrades desire the key as a symbol
of their fight against the land
[13:27] Gaff
and as an escape route from order.
[13:29] Gaff
If the key cannot be destroyed,
[13:32] Gaff
I deem leaving it locked away
forever the wisest course.
[13:37] Belle
I only ever do things one way.
[13:41] Belle
If there's a will hidden in something,
I set it free.
[13:47] Gaff
The black hour, the black direction...
[13:50] Gaff
Will your sword solve that riddle?
[14:21] Gaff
So this is the key to journeys?
[14:24] Gaff
It reminds me of the Army's shadows.
[14:27] Belle
I bet the key to journeys
and the Army's hunger were both
[14:31] Belle
born from this divine tree's shadow.
[14:41] Belle
I'm being tried.
[14:43] Belle
So nomads and the Army come
from the same place, huh?
[14:57] Belle
What did I just cut?!
[15:01] Key
Be.
[15:25] Belle
It's singing.
[15:37] Belle
Homesickness...
[16:04] Belle
I'm alive and standing here.
[16:17] Gaff
What in the world?
[16:19] Gaff
The key to journeys has
entered our shadows!
[16:22] Belle
Behold a new kind of nomad!
[16:25] Belle
People who hear the melody of the
keys inside their own shadows
[16:30] Belle
can become new nomads now.
[16:34] Belle
I managed to cut it.
[16:37] Belle
Are you hearing this, Gwyn?
[16:41] Belle
You and Gaff just lost your reason to fight.
[16:46] Belle
The key's in all your shadows now!
[16:50] Gaff
It's as if we've all become wilderness-bound
nomads this very moment.
[16:57] Gaff
The rite of the ordeal is complete.
Well done.
[17:00] Belle
Thanks.
[17:02] Gaff
Allow me to see you off as king,
and as a solist.
[17:07] Gaff
Until you play Schwert Musik
on this land's stage again...
[17:13] Gaff
Farewell, Belle.
[17:18] Belle
Bye-bye, Gaff.
[17:24] Sherry
You revealed this butterfly garden
as a gift to us, didn't you?
[17:30] Belle
All I did was swing a sword.
[17:33] Belle
You put your life on the line,
singing a question to god.
[17:37] Belle
Ever thought that maybe
this is your answer?
[17:41] Sherry
When I look at these butterflies,
[17:43] Sherry
I get the feeling that I
understand how I've changed.
[17:46] Belle
Every time I think I figure out who I am,
[17:50] Belle
another answer shows up in the distance.
[17:53] Belle
It seriously never ends.
[17:57] Sherry
Do you go on fighting like that
for the world's sake?
[18:01] Sherry
To help all people everywhere prove
for themselves who they are?
[18:09] Belle
Carry the weight of the world? No thanks.
[18:12] Belle
I just want to be a person.
[18:15] Belle
I want to be in the world, one among many.
[18:20] Belle
My name is Belle.
[18:22] Belle
I'm no one else.
[18:24] Belle
And yet I still want to swing my
sword and ask the world...
[18:28] Belle
Who am I?
[18:31] Belle
How can I be free?
[18:33] Belle
Why do I feel homesick?
[18:35] Belle
As long as someone sees some
value in me and what I do,
[18:41] Belle
that's good enough for me.
[18:43] Sherry
I think that's wonderful.
[18:46] Sherry
Belle, I've made up my mind.
[18:49] Sherry
I'd like to become a witch.
[18:52] Belle
A witch?
[18:53] Sherry
I was the last Nidhogg
and sang to question god's love.
[18:59] Sherry
So I'll go on singing as a
witch, not a priestess.
[19:04] Sherry
Until the people tell me
they no longer need magic.
[19:17] Belle
Go for it!
[19:19] Belle
You're the best, Sherry.
[19:21] Belle
I'd love to hear you.
[19:22] Sherry
Thank you, Belle.
[19:25] Sherry
Truly...
[19:28] Belle
Sherry?
[19:35] Sherry
I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
[19:39] Sherry
It makes it hard to see your face.
[19:49] Sherry
You're leaving, aren't you?
[19:52] Belle
Yeah.
[19:53] Belle
To become a nomad.
[19:55] Sherry
Please come home.
Here, to this land where I am.
[20:01] Sherry
And listen to me sing again.
[20:05] Belle
I'll be back someday.
[20:07] Belle
I'll come here to hear you sing.
[20:10] Belle
So we can swap stories about our journeys.
[20:15] Sherry
Goodbye, Belle.
[20:19] Belle
Bye-bye, Sherry.
[20:40] Belle
I swear, what a reason...
[21:05] Belle
I'd like to leave through this gate.
[21:07] Belle
Would you open it for me?
[21:09] X
Do you have everything you need?
[21:11] X
Including a good reason to pass this way?
[21:15] Belle
You bet.
[21:17] X
Your look says it all.
[21:18] X
Wait just a moment.
[21:28] Belle
Hey, Kitty.
[21:30] Belle
Want to tag along?
[21:37] Y; Z
Push! Push!
[21:48] Belle
Bye-bye, Kitty.
[21:50] X
Open the gate!
[22:36] Belle
What is this place?
[22:38] Guidance
The Borderlands.
[22:41] Guidance
A world on the boundary line,
[22:43] Guidance
created when the wards of two
lands' gods came in contact.
[22:48] Sirene
Stop!
[22:49] Sirene
Don't go!
[22:50] Sirene
And don't turn back!
[22:51] Belle
What the...?
[22:51] Sirene
Don't cross boundaries!
[22:52] Sirene
Don't step over!
[22:55] Guidance
Those felled by the ward's pressure
leave shadows of thought.
[22:59] Guidance
They seek to consume those who
attempt to journey across the border.
[23:04] Belle
Good to know!
[23:11] Belle
Get lost, ghosts!
[23:13] Belle
I'm too alive, and too present,
to be eaten by you!
