**[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.
**[19:07] Signs**
Aion
Palace of the Lion
**[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...
**[21:49] Gwyn**
A Paradise Shift in Schwert Land!

That's what Mr. Gin Buck wanted.

Add me to that petition.

I'll tell him your last words.

**[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.
**[03:50] Sign**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:52] Sign**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:57] Noble 1**
Aren't they...?
**[03:59] Noble 2**
From the Katakombe battle!
**[04:01] Noble 3**
Really? They're petitioning?
**[04:03] Noble 4**
So the rumors say.
**[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!
**[04:37] Belle**
The designer who tailored
this uniform said so.
**[04:40] Belle**
My bust's gotten a little bigger too!
**[04:43] Gwyn**
Oho!
**[04:44] Bennett**
Well, well!
**[04:47] Belle**
Jerks.
**[04:49] Sherry**
Belle!
**[04:51] Belle**
Hey, Sherry!
**[04:53] Sherry**
You look so gallant, Belle.
**[04:55] Sherry**
It's simply wonderful.
**[04:56] Belle**
You look nice and pretty too.
**[04:58] Belle**
That's a vocalist uniform, right?
**[05:00] Belle**
It looks great on you.
**[05:03] Bennett**
A bold solist and graceful vocalist...
**[05:06] Bennett**
You make a lovely pair.
**[05:07] Sherry**
My.
**[05:08] Gwyn**
Straight out of a swashbuckling tale.
**[05:10] Bennett**
Just imagine if Belle were a man.
**[05:13] Gaff**
We may have contended for the
heart of our singing princess.
**[05:18] Belle**
Huh?
**[05:18] Gwyn**
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...*

**[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.
**[03:12] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:14] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:35] Belle**
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**
The Nothing
The Fool
**[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 me my proper station.*
**[20:45] Runding**
*Grant it to me. My proper station.*
**[20:50] Runding**
*Within you.*
**[20:53] Signs**
Durchbohren Sie die Welt
Pierce the World
**[20:53] Runding**
*Durchbohren Sie die Welt.*
**[20:57] Belle**
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.*

I believe in the Army of Insatiable Emptiness.

**[00:06] Adonis**
Gaff, where's the sword from the Katakombe?
**[00:09] Gaff**
One of the priests carries it.
**[00:11] Gaff**
But depending on your actions,
I may break it here.
**[00:17] Adonis**
As you will, my brother prince.
**[01:44] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[01:46] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[01:54] Signs**
Lake of Calm
**[01:54] Gaff**
One of the Lakes of Calm.
**[01:58] Adonis**
The more I see, the more this
reminds me of the Katakombe.
**[02:01] Adonis**
Tiziano toyed with the dead
in a shrine that looked a lot like it.
**[02:19] Gaff**
Offer the king into the divine presence.
**[02:52] Adonis**
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.
**[04:46] Sherry**
These people have strayed
from god and should be shunned.
**[04:51] Sherry**
Any who make Schwert Musik with them
shall bear the stigma of a paradox.
**[04:53] Signs**
Paradox
The Outlawed
**[04:59] Gaff**
Do not cross swords with them!
**[05:01] Gaff**
Fall back!
**[05:02] Gaff**
Everyone, fall back!
**[05:07] Gaff**
Adonis!
**[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.*
**[06:41] Tom**
* Trust the visions you catch*
* glimpses of in your mind.*
**[06:45] Tom**
* They manifest a sort of invisible*
* will that guides your course.*
**[06:54] Colonel**
*Its spell, Tixe, means "escape."*
**[06:55] Signs**
Tixe
Escape
**[06:59] Colonel**
*The spell Ecnes, which shows sympathy.*
**[07:01] Signs**
Ecnes
Sympathy
**[07:04] Guidance**
*Escape from yourself.*
**[07:07] Guidance**
*Sympathize with yourself.*
**[07:16] Sian**
*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.
**[08:31] Belle**
Moonwork... "To do as the moon."
**[08:40] Guidance**
You who have learned true strength—
**[08:44] Guidance**
That which you fear most
**[08:47] Guidance**
will teach you the source of your power.
**[08:54] Belle**
A grown-up me?
**[09:00] Guidance**
Go lightly and by your own power, conqueror.
**[09:06] Guidance**
You have triumphed in the grand undertaking
that is conquering yourself.
**[09:20] Gwyn**
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.
**[14:42] Belle**
It's creepy, whatever it is.
**[14:45] Shadows**
Let it o...! Let it o...!
**[14:50] Gwyn**
Prepare to draw!
**[14:53] Gwyn**
You are the first ever band
to carry a prisoner!
**[14:57] Gwyn**
A vision of heretofore unseen strategy!
**[14:59] Gwyn**
You'll go down in history!
**[15:02] Gwyn**
Cut in!
**[15:06] Gaff**
So you've come!
**[15:09] Gwyn**
We heard of your combat ban and came running,
**[15:13] Gwyn**
Sir Lead Solist.
**[15:14] Gwyn**
Leave the rest to us!
**[15:26] Supporter A**
What?!
**[15:27] Supporter B**
My spell!
**[15:28] Gwyn**
Rest-room!
**[15:28] Signs**
Rest-room
The Magic of Excretion
**[15:30] Gwyn**
This meaningless magic nullifies
all other sorcery.
**[15:32] Gwyn**
Let yourself respond to its voice,
and it will eat your sword's spell whole!
**[15:45] Supporter B**
Thanks!
**[15:46] Supporter C**
That's better!
**[15:51] Priest B**
The sword of the Katakombe!
**[15:53] Gaff**
What?!
**[15:56] Gwyn**
Have no fear, lead solist!
**[15:59] Gwyn**
We will reclaim that sword
and restore peace, or die trying!
**[16:07] Gwyn**
Is everything ready?
**[16:08] Bennett**
Naturally.
**[16:10] Gwyn**
Fire!
**[16:34] Belle**
*I get it.*
**[16:35] Belle**
*This isn't Schwert Musik at all.*
**[16:37] Gwyn**
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?
**[17:22] Corpse-Sword Wielder**
You must be the child of light
that he spoke of.
**[17:27] Corpse-Sword Wielder**
I am one of Red Rum, the fangs
of the Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
**[17:30] Signs**
Red Rum
The Fangs
**[17:33] Belle**
Who's "he"? Adonis?
**[17:36] Corpse-Sword Wielder**
The Army finally found Red Rum a king.
**[17:41] Corpse-Sword Wielder**
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!
**[19:22] Solist F**
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,
**[20:50] Belle**
but my howl will still pierce the world!
**[21:50] Belle**
I guess that settles it.
***SIGN*** Aufheben: When Flowers Shed Their Buds and Bloom
***SIGN*** Fifteenth Movement
**[23:30] Belle**
So I can leave the band at any time?
**[23:32] Gaff**
Even you would harm this land, Belle?!
**[23:35] Gwyn**
Discard our swords, you mean?
**[23:36] Bennett**
Who can keep up with her?

**[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!

As divine priestess, I tell you now.
**[23:33] Gwyn**
We'll stop clinging to god!

I've been waiting for you, girl of reason.
**[23:37] Belle**
I'm going to cut you.

**[00:15] Adonis**
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.
**[00:29] Adonis**
Let's go.
**[00:30] Adonis**
We're almost at god's heart.
**[01:57] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[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!
**[07:54] Adonis**
So you've transcended its shell?
**[07:57] Adonis**
You've got my hopes up, girl of reason!
**[08:00] Army**
Nowhere...
**[08:04] Belle**
Oh, hey. You *do* have plenty of friends.
**[08:08] Adonis**
Stay back!
**[08:09] Adonis**
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?
**[08:38] Belle**
Who are you?
**[08:52] Adonis**
Oh, of course.
**[08:57] Sian**
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!

**[00:05] Belle**
* The strength to smash this*

**[00:11] Belle**
*No...*
**[00:13] Belle**
*Why is it that I swing my sword?*
**[00:17] Belle**
What was it that you taught me?
**[00:24] Negroni**
*Want go home... The sea...*

*What's the spell just for me?*
**[00:47] Belle**
Oh, I get it.
**[00:50] Belle**
Even if my sword breaks
or the reason I'm here changes,
**[00:55] Belle**
I get to see where my
transformation takes me.
**[01:01] Belle**
So I can go on a journey
to somewhere that isn't here.
**[01:01] Signs**
Somewhere That Isn't Here
Utopia
**[01:23] Belle**
I'll try myself.
**[01:26] Belle**
To find out why I'm here—
**[01:29] Belle**
That's what I swing my sword for.
**[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!
**[01:49] Adonis**
Can you cut me,
**[01:51] Adonis**
one and only personality?!
**[02:03] Belle**
Pierce the world!
**[02:09] Belle**
That's when I'll be carved into the world!

Bye Bye, Earth
**[04:01] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[04:06] Mist**
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**
*anstimmen und freudenvollere!*
**[16:59] Belle**
Sherry.

**[17:19] Sherry Song**
*Freude, schöner Götterfunken,*

*Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!*

**[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,*

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*

*An den Brüsten der Natur;*
**[18:12] Sherry Song**
*Alle Guten, alle Bösen*
**[18:15] Sherry Song**

*Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;*

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**

* The thing god considered*

**[19:53] Sherry Song**

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!

Where am I?

Behold the paradise of the ancient gods.

"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!
