Bye Bye, Earth
Belle Lablac doesn’t really fit in as the only human being in a world full of anthropomorphic animals. No fangs, no fur, no scales, no claws. Lonely and eager to discover where she comes from, Belle journeys to find answers to the questions of her heart. Carrying nothing but her giant sword, the Runding, she faces a world of possibilities and pitfalls in hopes of discovering the truth.

    Why...?
[00:10] SIAN
    This is my final responsibility
    as your Enola.
[00:14] SIAN
    What're you waiting for, Belle?!
[00:18] BELLE
    Why?!

SIGN    Lake Chaser
[00:36] MERCHANT
    What's all the fuss about?
[00:39] MERCHANT
    There's no festival, and they're
    not trying a criminal either.
[00:45] FIREFLY A
    See, the river rose and a seed
    from the sea washed in.
[00:51] MERCHANT
    Oh yeah?
[00:52] FIREFLY B
    Now it's bloomin' in the lake
    and spreadin' poison everywhere.
[00:56] MERCHANT
    A fish flower is poisoning the lake?
[00:58] FIREFLY C
    With salt. Salt water.
[00:59] FIREFLY C
    Must be tryin' to convert the fresh water.
[01:03] FIREFLY B
    Just look at the young bulls.
[01:05] FIREFLY B
    It already got one of 'em.
[01:08] FIREFLY A
    So the mice decided to ask a nomad for help.
[01:13] MERCHANTS
    A nomad, eh? Then your worries are over!
SIGN    Nomad
    One who travels
[01:16] FIREFLY A
    Except the nomad's got this girl 
    who lives with him, and he sent her.
[01:22] MERCHANT
    A girl?
[01:23] FIREFLY B
    I hear strange rumors about her.
[01:26] FIREFLY B
    They say she got herself kicked out
    of Park City for stirrin' up trouble.
[01:32] FIREFLY B
    And that's not all.
    No one can take their eyes off her.
[01:36] FIREFLY B
    After all...
[01:38] CROWD
    Never seen that before.
[01:39] CROWD
    Where's she from?
[01:40] BELLE
    Looks like a full house.
[01:42] CROWD
    What is that?
[01:42] CROWD
    Gives me the creeps.
[01:43] CROWD
    No ears, no horns...
[01:45] CROWD
    What is she?
[01:46] CROWD
    I've never heard of such a tribe.
[01:48] CROWD
    She doesn't have a hair on her body!
[01:51] CROWD
    She doesn't have anything.
[01:52] CROWD
    What a weirdo.
[01:53] MERCHANT
    She's featureless...
[01:56] BELLE
    The same old thing, huh?
[01:59] CROWD
    What a strange species.
[02:01] CROWD
    Where did she come from?
[02:02] BELLE
    One day...
[02:04] BELLE
    Belle Lablac! That's my name.
[02:07] BELLE
    I'm here on orders
    from my master, Sian Lablac.
[02:12] JA
    Thank you for coming, Lady Belle.
[02:15] JA
    I am the arbiter of Weather Wheel Tower.
[02:19] BELLE
    Nice to meet you.
[02:21] BELLE
    So, where's my opponent?
[02:23] JA
    Over there.
[02:25] JA
    Its many arms are thicker than tree trunks.
[02:27] JA
    Its bright red body deflects
    swords and spears.
[02:31] JA
    Its mouth breathes inky poison.
[02:34] BELLE
    My master said it was probably a negroni.
[02:38] BELLE
    Granted, I won't know
    for sure till I see it for myself.
[02:43] JA
    So you'll slay it?
[02:44] BELLE
    Flower flesh is my favorite food.
    I don't care what kind.
[02:50] BELLE
    Relax. I promise I'll take it down.
[02:54] CROWD
    How beastly...
[02:56] BELLE
    Tch. So I'm a barbarian just
    'cause I only eat grass and fruit?
[03:05] JA
    What are you doing?
[03:07] BELLE
    Making myself lighter.
[03:09] CROWD
    I don't believe it!
[03:11] CROWD
    She's totally featureless!
[03:48] BELLE
    Move it. Coming through.
[03:51] BELLE
    The water's still cold.
[03:56] BELLE
    It's a negroni all right.
[03:59] BELLE
    Though it's awfully big for one.
[04:04] BELLE
    You're up, partner.
[04:33] BELLE
    Sing, Runding!
[05:19] CROWD
    Run!
[05:45] BELLE
    I smell salt water.
[05:53] BELLE
    Crap!
[05:54] CROWD
    Salt water!
[05:55] CROWD
    Oh no!
[05:55] CROWD
    Save the food!
[05:56] CROWD
    This is so bad!
[05:57] CROWD
    Get it out of here!
[05:58] CROWD
    It'll all be ruined!
[05:58] CROWD
    What a disaster!
[05:59] BELLE
    If this keeps up...
[06:09] BELLE
    Hey, why did you come here?
[06:14] BELLE
    Don't you have a home?
[06:25] NEGRONI
    Want go home... The sea...
[06:28] BELLE
    Why don't you?
[06:31] NEGRONI
    Can't get back now...
[06:34] NEGRONI
    Die here...
[06:37] NEGRONI
    Spread seeds...
[06:44] BELLE
    Sorry.
[07:24] JA
    Th-Thank you so much!
[07:27] JA
    We'll deliver your reward
     to your house later.
[07:32] BELLE
    Mind if I take this seed and that arm?
[07:37] JA
    What do you want them for?
[07:40] BELLE
    Like I said, flower flesh is my favorite.
[07:46] CROWD
    I don't believe it...
[07:48] CROWD
    How beastly.
[08:05] BELLE
    They'll probably smash every last seed.
[08:16] BELLE
    If I ever have to fight on that side,
[08:22] BELLE
    then...
[08:41] BELLE
    I'm home, Master.
[08:44] SIAN
    Good work.
[08:47] BELLE
    Sian...
[08:54] BELLE
    Why does he bother doing that?
[08:56] BELLE
    He could just use magic.
[08:58] BELLE
    Same goes for that tussle today.
[09:00] BELLE
    I didn't have to do it.
    Sian would've done a better job.
[09:07] BELLE
    There we are.
[09:13] SIAN
    What is that?
[09:14] BELLE
    Spoils of war!
[09:16] SIAN
    Well struck. You cleaved it cleanly.
[09:21] SIAN
    But you could still bring out a sharper edge.
[09:24] BELLE
    I wanted to see what this thing could do.
[09:26] SIAN
    Learn to unleash your sword's
    best in a single strike.
[09:29] SIAN
    Now then, what will you do with this?
[09:31] BELLE
    Eat it, just like any other fish flower.
[09:35] SIAN
    I suppose eating is the best way
    to mourn the dead.
[09:42] SIAN
    There's more to negronis than their flesh.
    Their leather is tough, too.
[09:46] BELLE
    Maybe I'll try making shoes, then.
[09:51] BELLE
    There you go again.
[09:55] SIAN
    Delicious.
[09:56] BELLE
    You're ruining it.
[09:58] SIAN
    It's called being a connoisseur.
[10:00] BELLE
    If you care that much about flavor,
     why don't you cook for yourself?
[10:04] BELLE
    Come on, that was a joke!
[10:08] SIAN
    Delicious.
[10:12] BELLE
    Hey, Master.
[10:13] BELLE
    Why do you think this negroni left the sea?
[10:17] SIAN
    Who knows? Perhaps it grew
    unhappy with life there.
[10:20] BELLE
    It wanted to go back.
[10:23] SIAN
    It was trying to do its duty as a flower.
[10:27] SIAN
    The duty of one who spreads seeds.
[10:30] BELLE
    Duty?
[10:31] SIAN
    Flowers aren't alone.
[10:33] SIAN
    Everything in this world tries
    to intermingle with everything else.
[11:12] BELLE
    They were all afraid of me.
[11:16] BELLE
    You'd have done a better job
     if you'd gone instead.
[11:19] SIAN
    What could I teach a fish?
[11:23] BELLE
    You're so narrow-minded. Why won't you use
    your skills for anything but teaching?
[11:28] SIAN
    That is my role as an Enola.
SIGN    Enola
    An instructor
[11:32] BELLE
    We won't be able to stay here long either.
[11:35] SIAN
    Shall we go ahead and move, then?
[11:38] SIAN
    There are still plenty of places
    in this country you haven't seen.
[11:43] BELLE
    Will we find people like me there?
[11:46] SIAN
    No.
[11:48] SIAN
    I've never met anyone like you
     on my previous visits.
[11:54] BELLE
    If we keep going on like this,
[11:56] BELLE
    the Army of Insatiable Emptiness
    will take me sooner or later.
SIGN    Army of Insatiable Emptiness
[11:59] SIAN
    Do not speak of them.
    You have no idea what they're like.
[12:03] BELLE
    I know what you've taught me.
[12:06] BELLE
    They're people who can't enjoy
    the world anymore, right?
[12:09] BELLE
    I'll be done for if they ever
    catch me. I'm sure of it.
[12:14] BELLE
    Where can I go to meet people like me?
[12:19] BELLE
    I want to intermingle with the world too.
[12:22] BELLE
    Living like this hurts.
[12:25] SIAN
    I'd call that feeling inside you homesickness.
[12:30] BELLE
    Homesickness? What's that?
[12:33] SIAN
    Well...
[12:35] SIAN
    It can be love of your hometown,
    longing for utopia,
[12:39] SIAN
    or the painful inability to love
    yourself and where you are.
[12:46] BELLE
    Then teach me how to cure my homesickness.
[12:50] BELLE
    I don't have a home.
[12:53] SIAN
    In that case, why not go on a journey?
[13:01] SIAN
    Listen to me, Belle.
SIGN    Schwert Land
    Country of Swords
[13:03] SIAN
    There isn't a soul like you in Schwert Land.
[13:07] SIAN
    But if you journey forth
    and travel the world,
[13:11] SIAN
    you may be able to find
    a world that's truly yours.
SIGN    Park City
[13:15] SIAN
    Go to Park City and undergo
    the trials to become a nomad.
[13:20] SIAN
    I know you can do it.
[13:23] SIAN
    After all, you are my student.
[13:39] BELLE
    Where did that come from?
[13:43] (Flashback) SIAN
    Traveling means putting your
    entire being on the line.
[13:47] (Flashback) SIAN
    No one can help you.
[13:50] (Flashback) SIAN
    I may be your Enola, but I cannot become you,
[13:54] (Flashback) SIAN
    just like you cannot become me.
[13:58] BELLE
    I know. Our life together has to end someday,
[14:03] BELLE
    and that will be the beginning...
[14:07] (Flashback) SIAN
    It's your decision to make. Don't rush it.
[14:17] BELLE
    A world of my own...
[14:25] BELLE
    Runding?
[14:37] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Who's that girl?
[14:39] (Flashback) BEASTS
    They say she was born from a stone.
[14:41] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Seriously?
[14:43] (Flashback) BEASTS
    She gives me the creeps.
[14:45] (Flashback) BEASTS
    She really is awful!
[14:46] BEASTS
    She doesn't even have ears or a tail.
[14:48] (Flashback) BEASTS
    She's featureless.
[14:49] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Featureless!
[14:50] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Did you hear someone took her in?
[14:52] BEASTS
    There must be something wrong with her.
[14:52] (Flashback) BEASTS
    The stonecutter did.
[14:53] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Who'd want a kid like her?
[14:54] (Flashback) BEASTS
    Beats me.
[14:59] (Flashback) BEASTS
    You okay?
[15:00] BEASTS
    Why's she so strong?
[15:55] (Flashback) BELLE
    I found a friend...
[16:08] (Flashback) GUARD A
    Who's there?!
[16:09] (Flashback) GUARD B
    Hey, wait!
[16:10] (Flashback) GUARDS
    Halt!
[16:11] (Flashback) GUARDS
    To arms!

    Durchbohren Sie die Welt.
[16:28] (Flashback) KIR
    You won't escape!
[16:31] RUNDING
    Pierce the world!
SIGN    Durchbohren Sie die Welt
    Pierce the World
[16:50] (Flashback) GAFF
    Why did you do this?
[16:53] (Flashback) BELLE
    My friend...
[16:54] (Flashback) GAFF
    Is it because you wanted that sword?
[17:24] BELLE
    Oh, so you understand.
[17:38] JA
    Well, if you'll excuse us...
[17:43] BELLE
    It's fine.
[17:45] BELLE
    I won't blame anyone for my loneliness.
[17:50] SIAN
    We won't have to worry
    about food for a while.
[17:55] BELLE
    We need to talk, Sian.
[17:57] SIAN
    What's this about?
[17:59] BELLE
    I'm going to undertake
     the trials so I can travel.
[18:04] SIAN
    I can see you're serious.
[18:06] SIAN
    You made up your mind awfully fast.
[18:11] SIAN
    Go and get our sword.
[18:17] SIAN
    Now then, this will be my last lesson to you.
[18:22] SIAN
    You can't become a nomad
    unless you take on a curse.
[18:26] SIAN
    A curse can take many forms
     depending on the life of its bearer.
[18:31] SIAN
    This curse is the first trial
    on your path to becoming a nomad.
[18:36] SIAN
    It will continue to haunt you
     as you journey forth.
[18:39] SIAN
    In my case, I can't use my power
    to do anything except teach.
[18:45] SIAN
    Curses are passed down through nomad blood.
[18:49] SIAN
    Are you ready?
[19:10] SIAN
    What is the goal of your journey, child?
[19:14] SIAN
    Sing it loud and clear!
[19:15] BELLE
    I... I want to know my roots!
[19:19] BELLE
    I want to meet other people like me!
[19:22] BELLE
    I want... I want to intermingle
    with this world too!
[19:32] SIAN
    Trust that this curse will one day
    become a blessing and accept it.
[19:39] BELLE
    Something's not right.
[19:40] BELLE
    Sian, your face looks like...
[19:44] SIAN
    Like you've never seen it before?
[19:46] SIAN
    That means you're about
    to finish your final lesson.
[19:52] BELLE
    No, Sian... You're disappearing!
[19:55] SIAN
    A graduate no longer needs
    memories of her master.
[20:00] SIAN
    Only his teachings need live on.
[20:04] SIAN
    And that way, you'll never
    realize my ulterior motive.
[20:07] BELLE
    Your what?
[20:09] SIAN
    I'm entrusting it to you so that you'll
    visit places I couldn't reach.
[20:15] BELLE
    I figured it would be something like this.
[20:18] BELLE
    Damn you for toying with my mind!
[20:22] BELLE
    Enola, my ass!
[20:23] BELLE
    Damn it!
[20:24] SIAN
    I'm sorry, Belle.
[20:26] SIAN
    Cutting me down will free
    you from that pain.
[20:30] BELLE
    You're always doing this!
    Always trying to make sure no one needs you!
[20:36] SIAN
    That is my destiny as one who teaches.
[20:40] BELLE
    Why...?
[20:44] (Flashback) SIAN
    Your parents won't be coming for you.
[20:48] (Flashback) SIAN
    Why? Because from now on,
    I shall be your parent.
[20:53] (Flashback) SIAN
    Come with me.
[20:55] (Flashback) SIAN
    I'll teach you how to use that sword.
[21:00] BELLE
    Why?!
[21:02] SIAN
    Someday you'll learn the meaning
     of "Erehwon," the spell upon your sword.
SIGN    Utopia
[21:10] SIAN
    The true, long-lost meaning
    of the word we know as "utopia."
[21:17] BELLE
    I love you, Sian.
[21:20] SIAN
    You'll find a better man, my daughter.
[21:35] SIAN
    This is my final responsibility
    as your Enola.

    out which side you're on.
[05:46] BELLE
    Why bother?
[05:48] BELLE
    I'll be leaving the country soon enough.
[05:51] HAGGIS
    What? You don't mean...
[05:55] BELLE
    I'm gonna become a nomad.
SIGN    Nomad
    One Who Travels
[05:56] BELLE
    That's why I came to Park City.
[06:01] HAGGIS
    Don't waste your time.

    God will never allow it.
[06:04] BELLE
    Huh?
[06:06] HAGGIS
    Country folk, I swear...
[06:08] HAGGIS
    Listen here, Lablac.
[06:10] HAGGIS
    The king up in the castle doesn't
    really rule this country.
[06:14] HAGGIS
    God does. Got that?
[06:20] HAGGIS
    Hey, what's the matter?
[06:21] BELLE
    I just remembered. The god's called...
[06:26] BELLE
    Deus Ex Machina.
[06:29] HAGGIS
    "Deus"... What?
[06:31] BELLE
    I don't really understand it myself.
[06:34] BELLE
    Just something I heard
    from a heartless jerk a long time ago.
[06:38] BELLE
    That's right... I killed someone.
[06:43] BELLE
    But who? And why?
[06:49] YOUNG MAN A
    Damn brat! You've been
    nothing but trouble!
[06:52] BELLE
    It's that kid!
[06:53] HAGGIS
    What're you lot planning
    to do with the child?
[06:56] YOUNG MAN B
    You're not gonna believe this, Haggis!
[06:59] YOUNG MAN A
    The brat vanished into thin air,
     gnawed on my sword...
[07:02] YOUNG MAN A
    We went through hell to get
    the little shit here!
[07:04] BELLE
    Evil solists, huh?
[07:06] YOUNG MAN D
    But this is our big chance.
[07:08] HAGGIS
    You'd better not mean—
[07:10] YOUNG MAN C
    We caught ourselves a Rabbitia!
[07:12] YOUNG MAN A
    Killing one will make names for us!
[07:14] YOUNG MAN A
    And drinking Rabbitia blood will
    make our swords unbeatable!
[07:18] HAGGIS
    Idiots!
[07:19] YOUNG MAN A
    Rabbitia are all freaks anyway!
[07:26] HAGGIS
    Lablac, wait!
[07:27] BELLE
    You're supposed to raise your sword
    to the music of clashing steel.
[07:32] BELLE
    I see evil solists aren't
    what they used to be.
[07:38] BELLE & SIAN
    If you can't tell the difference
    between being evil and doing evil,
[07:42] BELLE & SIAN
    you don't deserve a sword.
[07:44] YOUNG MAN
    You bitch!
[07:49] BELLE
    What?
[07:51] BELLE
    What was that?
[07:58] BELLE
    There it is again.
[08:00] BELLE
    Something's holding me back.
[08:02] HAGGIS
    You fool! Who goes around smashing swords?!
[08:04] YOUNG MAN D
    You'll pay for that!
[08:08] YOUNG MAN C
    That does it!
[08:14] BELLE
    What's going on?
[08:16] BELLE
    I might as well be swinging a hunk of iron.
[08:19] SIAN
    You can't become a nomad
    unless you take on a curse.
[08:23] BELLE
    Is this my curse?
[08:25] BELLE
    Can I not cut anything anymore?
[08:28] YOUNG MAN E
    No...
[08:30] HAGGIS
    Hey! That's enough!
[08:49] HAGGIS
    You've made your point.
    We can all see how skilled you are.
[08:53] HAGGIS
    And how beastly, too.
[08:55] BELLE
    I just...
[08:57] HAGGIS
    There's no coming back from this.
[09:00] HAGGIS
    They worked hard to grow those swords.

    My sword...
[09:02] YOUNG MEN
    No way.
[09:03] HAGGIS
    They'll never revive.

     They won't let you off easy.

    Must've run off.

[10:20] BELLE
    It was in a room like this.
[10:23] BELLE
    I found you, then waited and waited.
[10:28] BELLE
    Can I really not cut anything anymore?
[10:32] BELLE
    This is the form my curse took,

    the first trial on my way...
[10:38] BELLE & SIAN
    to becoming a nomad.
[10:40] BELLE
    That's right. I waited and waited.
[10:44] BELLE
    And then...
[10:46] BELLE
    someone came.
[10:47] BELLE
    But who?
[10:54] BELLE
    What's wrong with you, Belle Lablac?

    Oh, right. Could you call a
    solist named Gaff for me?
[11:19] BELLE
    I guess you could say we
    had the same teacher.
[11:24] BELLE
    Had completely slipped my mind.
[11:28] BELLE
    Did you get that?
[11:34] ADONIS
    Someone broke your sword, old man?
[11:37] HAGGIS
    No, not mine. Mine wilted a long time ago.

    If it wasn't yours that broke, whose was it?
[11:51] HAGGIS
    Oh, you know. Some young guys.
[11:54] HAGGIS
    They're a mess.
[11:56] HAGGIS
    I put 'em in a guest room upstairs.
[11:59] ADONIS
    Can I talk to them?
[12:02] HAGGIS
    Ask them for the whole story.

    I really owe you one, Gaff.
[13:00] GAFF
    You're my guest now, remember?
[13:03] BELLE
    Still, I sure am glad I called you for help.
[13:07] BELLE
    I can't believe you found me this place
    to stay, on top of getting me acquitted.
[13:12] GAFF
    You should have come to me from the start.
[13:17] GAFF
    Your master asked me to look out for you.
[13:23] GAFF
    Here's a dog tag.
[13:24] GAFF
    Just carve your personal spell onto it.
[13:29] BELLE
    Shandy Gaff,
[13:30] BELLE
    why would a top solist like you drop
    everything to do my master a favor?
[13:35] BELLE
    Was he that big of a deal?
[13:38] GAFF
    I don't hold a candle to him.
[13:41] BELLE
    Oh yeah?
[13:44] GAFF
    Do you resent him?
[13:46] BELLE
    How could I? He made me forget
    everything about him.
[13:52] BELLE
    Anyway, sorry, but I can't accept this.
[13:57] BELLE
    I'm going to become a nomad.
[13:59] GAFF
    I know.
[14:01] GAFF
    But you can't start your journey until
    you fulfill a contract with the king.
[14:07] GAFF
    You must serve this land
    as a solist for a time.
[14:14] BELLE
    I'm under a curse.
[14:17] BELLE
    I think it might've made my sword picky.
[14:24] BELLE
    I used to be able to cut
    down people of any tribe
[14:28] BELLE
    just like I slice through
    flowers, stone, or wood.
[14:33] GAFF
    What a thing to say.
[14:35] BELLE
    Huh?
[14:36] GAFF
    Seeing no difference between
    felling people and flowers
[14:42] GAFF
    sounds like the real curse to me.
[14:46] BELLE
    Are you saying I'm beastly?
[14:48] BELLE
    My sword is like a glove
    I wear when I touch things.
[14:54] BELLE
    Something tells me it
    shouldn't play favorites.
[14:58] GAFF
    This will assist you in solving the mystery
    of your curse as well as in your travels.
[15:04] GAFF
    Why not accept it?
[15:06] BELLE
    You got me there.
[15:09] BELLE
    My spell, huh?
[15:11] BELLE
    Maybe I'll write "beastly."
[15:13] GAFF
    Belle...
[15:14] BELLE
    Thanks for everything, Gaff.
[15:17] BELLE
    To be honest, I didn't want lean on anyone.
[15:21] BELLE
    But since you offered,
    I'll take all the help I can get.
[15:25] BELLE
    You'd better not get cold feet!
[15:29] BELLE
    Hey, you! Where did you come from?!
[15:33] BELLE
    What are you doing here?
    Did you come to thank me?
[15:36] BELLE
    Don't sweat it. I decided
    for myself to butt in back there.
[15:41] GAFF
    That's the child all the fuss was about?
[15:44] BELLE
    Well, yeah.
[15:46] GAFF
    You should be honored to have
    a traveling Rabbitia for a guest.
[15:51] BELLE

[15:55] GAFF
    I'll arrange an audience with

    I can't see them yet.
[16:32] GAFF

    The hammer of fear! The hammer
    of fear! The hammer of fear!

    This is how I do things!

    If you don't like it,
    come down and fight me!

    The hammer of fear! The hammer of fear!
[07:23] Kir
    Glory to the victor!
[07:25] Kings
    You have overcome your trial
    in the rite of contracts.
[07:30] Kir
    I admit defeat.
[07:32] Kir
    You are strong.
[07:38] Belle
    Like hell I am.
[07:42] Kings
    We shall welcome you as
    a solist, little one.
[07:47] Belle
    I didn't come to Park City
    to play Schwert Musik.
[07:51] Good King
    You who knock on the door of journeys,
    we bid you await three duties.
[07:58] Good King
    In accordance with the
    crest of Schwert Land,
[08:01] Good King
    you shall play three pieces of
    Schwert Musik to soothe our god.
[08:05] Good King
    But that alone will not suffice.
[08:08] Good King
    We bid you encounter chance.
[08:10] Belle
    Chance?
[08:12] Good King
    Observe the curse with which
    you have been tasked.
[08:15] Good King
    In so doing, you shall ultimately
    receive a blessing.
[08:26] Belle
    What's this?
[08:27] Gaff
    Sacred ashes.
SIGN    Sacred Ashes
[08:28] Belle
    Gaff.
[08:30] Belle
    These are sacred ashes?
[08:33] Belle
    Hey!
[08:35] Belle
    Th-That's enough. I'll take
    care of the rest on my own.
[08:38] Gaff
    What's wrong? Those burns will scar.
[08:41] Belle
    I can't help it. The pain faded
    so fast, it creeped me out.
[08:45] Gaff
    That's what sacred ashes do.
[08:47] Gaff
    Here. Hand me those.
[08:49] Belle
    Even pain seems fake in Park City.
[08:53] Gaff
    You fought well against Kir.
     I'm proud of you.
[08:58] Belle
    But—
[08:59] Guidance
    Solists spend their lives raising
    swords as an extension of themselves.
[09:05] Guidance
    Once broken, a sword ceases to grow.
    It can only wither.
[09:09] Belle
    I know that already!
[09:11] Belle
    But if I can't cut people, I'll have
    to break the swords of everyone I fight.
[09:17] Belle
    I'm out of step with everyone else.
[09:19] Belle
    It's the same old story over and over again.
[09:24] Kings
    Would you sacrifice that girl on
    the altar of your own desire?
[09:29] Kings
    Do you seek vengeance on our god,
    the god whose curse binds you?
[09:35] Good King
    You were born royalty.
[09:37] Evil King
    You were born a priest.
[09:39] Good King
    By becoming an Enola, you escaped our god.
[09:42] Evil King
    By becoming a nomad,
    you escaped our kingdom.
[09:46] Good King
    What did your destined pupils amount to?
[09:50] Evil King
    What did you gain at your journey's end?
[09:57] Good King
    We see. So, you've returned
    to say your farewells.
[10:03] Evil King
    So, you've returned to destroy us.
[10:07] Good King
    That one will go far away...
[10:10] Good King
    The girl of reason.
[10:13] Evil King
    Now, truly, we release you.
[10:17] Evil King
    Live as one of the dead.
[10:19] Good King
    None will pursue a dead man.
[10:22] Evil King
    Not even a god.
[10:26] Kings
    Don't you agree, Sian?
[10:35] Kings
    Farewell, little brother.
[10:50] Kitty
    Oho.
[10:57] Kitty
    I see. So, this is the Stein der Weisen.
SIGN    Stein der Weisen
    Philosopher's Stone
[11:02] Kitty

[11:07] Kitty
    What a fool. Who would give that up,

    I don't even need to bother recalculating.
[11:15] Kitty
    All formulae mine,
    go forth and spread word.
SIGN    Formulae
[11:22] Kitty
    Ah, there it is.
[11:26] Young Man B
    Sacred ashes?
[11:28] Young Man E
    Adonis said we can bring our
    swords back to life with this stuff.
[11:33] Young Man A
    You mean it?
[11:35] Young Man D
    It's weird, though.
[11:36] Young Man D
    He said something about it
    "testing the evil in us."
[11:40] Young Man A
    Who cares?!
[11:42] Young Man A
    Once my sword's back in action,
[11:44] Young Man A
    I'll teach that rabbit and that featureless
    freak a lesson they won't forget!
[11:48] Young Man A
    I swiped this thing from the rabbit.
[11:51] Young Man A
    I'll use it to lure him out and—
[11:53] Kitty
    I see you never learn.
[11:55] Kitty
    Remind me, to whom were you
    going to teach a lesson?
[11:58] Young Man B
    How'd you get in here?!
[12:00] Kitty
    I'll only need mental math to deal with you.
[12:10] Young Men
    I-It burns!
[12:12] Young Men
    Fire!
[12:14] Kitty
    Sweet nightmares.
[12:18] Kitty
    So, this is Schwert Land's
    local specialty, eh?
[12:20] Kitty
    Horrible stuff.
[12:25] Kitty
    Well now, someone certainly enjoys 
    the sound of their own singing.
[12:29] Kitty
    I won't be getting involved.
[12:31] Kitty
    My beloved wouldn't fall prey
    to purgatorial dreams so easily.
[12:36] Kitty
    Would you, girl of reason?
[12:40] Belle
    Those sacred ashes sure are something.
[12:43] Belle
    They work so well it freaks me out,
    but I'm still glad to have them.
[12:46] Gaff
    I'm glad you've recovered in time.
[12:49] Gaff
    Evil solists will raid the
    Under East district any day now.
[12:53] Belle
    What?!
[12:55] Gaff
    They'll strike right around
    where your parents live.
[13:02] Belle
    If you knew that, why didn't
    you say something?!
[13:06] Gaff
    It would go against the Law of Theme.
[13:08] Gaff
    The king knows of the planned raid,
[13:11] Gaff
    but only solists chosen by
    divine summons will do battle.
SIGN    Divine Summons
[13:16] Belle
    If we wait till they attack, 
    it'll be too late, genius!
[13:20] Gaff
    The selection is about
    to begin in the castle.
[13:23] Belle
    You expect me to wait for that?!
[13:25] Gaff
    Won't you?
[13:27] Belle
    I get it.
[13:29] Belle
    Gaff's not allowed to say anything,
    but deep down, he...
[13:33] Belle
    What if I don't get chosen?
[13:36] Gaff
    You'll need to pay your sword's
    weight in gold denari.
[13:41] Belle
    I'll go broke for sure if it comes to that.
[13:52] Belle
    Am I too late?!
[13:54] Belle
    Dad! Mom!
[13:57] Belle
    Dad?!
[14:00] Belle
    What happened to the people here?
[14:01] Belle
    Where are all the townsfolk?!
[14:04] Cat-Eye Man
    Th-The outsiders took them all...
[14:11] Belle
    So this is a fight over farm-players, huh?
[14:13] Belle
    The outsiders don't have
    many instruments or crops,
[14:16] Belle
    so this would be life-and-death
    for them, but still.
[14:21] Belle
    There they are!
[14:41] Minotaurs
    Have at you!
[14:50] Gin
    That brat's bad news.
[14:52] Mist
    Let's get her!

    I'd heard a wild child showed
    up in Park City, but this?
[14:58] Mist
    Damn!

    Whoa!
[15:01] Gin
    Luck's not on our side.
[15:03] Gin
    Here.
[15:10] Gin
    She erased my spell with her damn sword?!
[15:21] Belle
    Took them long enough.
[15:26] Belle
    I managed to cut it!

    Belle?
[15:32] Belle

    I'm glad I got a chance

[16:33] Belle
    I'm going to become a nomad.
[16:47] Belle
    It's gone!
[16:48] Belle
    I must've lost it in the fight.
[16:53] Belle
    Oh well.
[16:55] Belle
    I'll come out on top sooner or later.
[17:01] Gin
    That was one hell of a wild child.
[17:05] Gin
    Hey, Mist, what's that you've got there?
[17:07] Mist
    It's the wild child's.
[17:09] Cloud
    For real? You swiped it off her?
[17:11] Mist
    So what? I got frustrated.
[17:13] Mist
    She was out of our league.
[17:21] Gin

[17:23] Gin
    What do you want with us?
[17:25] Kitty
    I haven't come to fight.
[17:27] Kitty
    I'd like to ask you for a favor.
[17:35] Kitty
    Good evening, young lady.
[17:41] Kitty
    Are you looking for something?
[17:43] Belle
    Huh? Oh, no.
[17:45] Belle
    Nothing I'll ever find, anyway.
[17:47] Kitty
    Well then, would you join me for a stroll?
[17:54] Kitty
    Oh, but I've forgotten to introduce myself.
[17:56] Kitty
    Kitty the All is my name.
[18:00] Belle
    I'm—
[18:02] Kitty
    I know who you are, Belle Lablac.
[18:06] Belle
    H-How do you know my name?
[18:09] Kitty
    You've been looking after a boy.
[18:13] Kitty
    His name is Kitty the Nothing.
[18:15] Kitty
    I'd like to express my gratitude.
[18:17] Belle
    So, what, you're his brother or something?
[18:21] Kitty
    Where I come from, all Rabbitia are family.
[18:25] Belle
    Where are we?
[18:26] Kitty
    On the Rocks.
[18:28] Kitty
    All lands have places where nomads gather.
[18:32] Kitty
    This is one of them.
[18:37] Belle
    I feel weirdly at home here. I wonder why.
[18:41] Kitty
    I just requested a song.
[18:44] Belle
    Wait, what?
[18:45] Kitty
    That swallow woman is a traveling
    troubadour. She sings for a living.
[18:50] Belle
    She'll sing? Really?
[18:51] Belle
    Are you planning to grow
    crops here or something?
[18:54] Belle
    You can't be building something,
    so why'd you ask for a song?
[18:58] Kitty
    True, I don't require a
    song to create anything.
[19:03] Belle
    What?
SIGN    Play your key.

    Or so I take her meaning.
[20:28] Belle
    Huh?
[20:33] Belle
    Thank you.
[20:40] Kitty
    She cannot speak except when she sings.
[20:44] Kitty
    Her nomad's curse, I presume.
[20:48] Belle
    Did she really not make anything?
    She has such a beautiful singing voice.
[20:53] Kitty
    I suppose you see that as wasted potential.
[20:56] Belle
    But I won't forget her song.
[21:00] Belle
    She sang my name, "little one." Belle.
[21:03] Kitty
    Did you find what you were seeking?
[21:06] Belle
    Huh?
[21:07] Kitty
    Your parents may have heard that
    song, too, somewhere or other.
[21:12] Kitty
    A song for one soon to begin her journey.
[21:16] Belle
    So that's it.
[21:17] Belle
    They got the name "Belle" from that song.
[21:21] Belle

    The king will reward you
    for your recent battle.
[00:09] (Flashback) Gaff
    You were selected
    to sortie with those solists.
[00:14] Belle
    So that was my first mission from god?
[00:18] Kings
    Little one, we commend you.
[00:24] Good King
    Set your sword upon the scales.
[00:28] Good King
    We shall grant you unwilting iron commensurate
    with the deeds of which it tells.
[00:36] Belle
    These must be the scales.
[00:43] Kings
    Unwilting iron will bless you with sustenance

    Call me anytime.

    Await the divine summons, little one.
[01:14] Gaff
    Did you meet with your parents?
[01:15] Belle
    Yeah. But I doubt I'll see them again.
[01:19] Gaff
    You seem content.
[01:20] Belle
    Well, I feel nice and refreshed
    after everything that's happened.
[01:25] Belle
    By the way, you and Kir are two of the
    top four solists. Who're the others?

    Taken an interest?
[01:32] Belle
    A bit.
[01:35] Gaff
    One is called Tiziano,
[01:39] Gaff
    but they're missing at the moment.
[01:41] Gaff
    I don't even know if they're
    a man or woman right now.
[01:45] Belle
    Oh, so they're a mermaid?
[01:47] Gaff
    Mermaids can change everything
    from their appearance to their aura.
[01:50] Gaff
    If Tiziano has changed gender and gone
    into hiding, we'll never find them.
[01:55] Belle
    Are they strong?
[01:56] Gaff
    Very.
[01:57] Belle
    What about the other one?
[01:58] Gaff

[04:23] Belle
    Don't be afraid.
[04:37] Belle
    Guess they won't let me near them.

    Shandy Gaff!
[04:56] (Flashback) Gaff
    This hardly resembles a duel between solists.

[05:32] (Flashback) Adonis
    Well, see you around.
[05:41] (Flashback) Belle
    What started that ordeal?
[05:43] (Flashback) Gaff
    He took the sword of a solist
    who recently died in battle.
[05:49] (Flashback) Gaff
    Their next of kin demanded
    its return, and he refused.
[05:53] (Flashback) Belle
    Huh?
[05:54] (Flashback) Belle
    What good is a sword you
    didn't grow yourself?
[05:58] (Flashback) Gaff
    I don't know his reasons.
[06:00] (Flashback) Gaff
    He takes the swords of the
    fallen from battlefields
[06:03] (Flashback) Gaff
    and buys up the swords of those
     who renounce the blade.
[06:09] Belle
    I wonder why he doesn't just
    grow a sword of his own.
[06:13] Belle
    You think maybe he can't?
[06:18] Belle
    Those gloves...
[06:20] Belle
    They make him seem like he's afraid
    to touch a sword directly.
[06:45] Belle
    Oh well. I'd just get passed over, anyway.

[07:16] Man B
    Can't say I approve of feeding wildflowers.
[07:19] Man D
    Y-You can find pops anywhere.
    Besides, they wilt in no time.
[07:24] Man D
    This guy lost it over a few lousy
    pops too, and look at him.
[07:28] Belle
    If you're so weak that you can only
    cut down helpless creatures,

    you shouldn't be solists!
[07:36] Man A
    I won't take that lying down!
[07:40] Belle
    I'll take you all on!

    Talk about brute strength.

[08:00] Belle
    Come on.

    This is the second time you've

    I've got no problem ditching you,
     if you'd prefer.
[08:20] Belle
    Sorry.
[08:27] Adonis
    That paw tree was planted to grow
    pops for people to practice on.
[08:32] Adonis
    A truly sharp sword has to be able
    to cut soft things as well as hard.
[08:36] Belle
    What? That's awful!
[08:38] Adonis
    Solists can't grow without cutting things.
[08:41] Adonis
    But I agree. If they can only cut down
    helpless creatures, they shouldn't be solists.
[08:48] Belle
    If that's how you feel,
    you should've said so sooner.

    In the shape you're in?
[09:49] Adonis
    Aren't you going too?
[09:51] Belle
    Why bother? I won't get picked.
[09:53] Adonis
    I'll give you a ride.
    I bet Bamboo will like you, too.
[09:56] Adonis
    Bamboo.
[10:02] Adonis
    This is my shell.
[10:04] Adonis
    It's always eating itself,
    so it doesn't exist anywhere.
[10:08] Adonis
    I've never invited anyone else inside before.

    Uh... Wow.
[10:21] Belle
    Wait, where's Adonis?
[10:23] Belle
    And this room has no windows,
     not to mention a door!
[10:26] Belle
    Am I trapped in here?
[10:31] Adonis
    Sorry, but you'll have
    to make yourself comfortable.
[10:34] Adonis
    I'm not feeling up to much.
[10:52] Adonis
    What's the matter? Sit.
[10:54] Belle
    S-Sure.
[11:00] Adonis
    Bamboo seems to like you as much as I do.
[11:06] Adonis
    One of these is all I need to patch myself up.
[11:08] Adonis
    It might as well be an illusion.
[11:11] Belle
    I thought the priests kept sacred
    ashes under lock and key.
[11:15] Adonis
    A few bribes, and they'll give
    me some under the table.
[11:25] Belle
    So...
[11:27] Belle
    what is a "girl of reason," anyway?
[11:36] Adonis
    Beats me.
[11:37] Belle
    What do you mean?
[11:39] Adonis
    I don't think Gaff really knows either.
[11:41] Adonis
    I heard his master—your
     master—called you that.
[11:48] Adonis
    Said you have some special destiny.
[11:50] Belle
    I'm not that big a deal.
[11:53] Belle
    I just don't know my way home.
[11:56] Adonis
    How do you mean?
[11:57] Belle
    I don't know where to go to find my people.
[12:01] Adonis
    You don't say.
[12:04] Belle
    Why do you take swords from folks?
[12:07] Adonis
    I'm just asking Park City something.
[12:11] Belle
    You are?
[12:15] Adonis
    This isn't even all.
    I have more rooms in here.
[12:19] Belle
    Why...?
[12:25] Belle
    Did you add something to its spell?
[12:28] Adonis
    The Question mark.
SIGN    Question
    Of those who doubt
[12:30] Adonis
    A glyph from the age of gods
    signifying one who doubts.
[12:33] Adonis
    It can change any sword to suit me.
[12:36] Adonis
    This is my spell and also my other name:
[12:40] Adonis
    "The Question."
[12:42] Adonis
    Why did these swords and their
    wielders need to fight?
[12:46] Adonis
    What does it mean to be a solist?
[12:49] Adonis
    What is Schwert Land?
[12:51] Adonis
    Who is the king? Who is our god?
[12:55] Adonis
    I won't ask you to understand,
[12:57] Adonis
    but I can't live any other way.
[13:03] Belle
    He's like those pops.
[13:05] Belle
    He doesn't know anything.
[13:08] Belle
    Not why he's here or why he goes on living.
[13:13] Belle
    I bet we're the same.
[13:20] Adonis
    Once I add my Question to a sword,
    no one else can handle it.
[13:24] Adonis
    It changes the meaning
    of the spell, you see.
[13:28] Belle
    I was right. He can't grow a sword himself.
[13:33] Belle
    The reason, and his resentment,
    are buried deep, deep down,
[13:38] Belle
    engulfed in darkness.
[13:40] Belle
    I doubt anyone can reach them down there.
[13:44] Belle
    Not anyone at all.
[13:47] Adonis
    Looks like we made it in time.

    What's this?

[13:52] Adonis

[13:53] Good King
    All serves our god's harmony.
[13:57] Good King
    Tiziano's scales have tilted toward evil.
[14:01] Good King
    They have whispered in the ears
    of the evil, inciting them,
[14:04] Good King
    and sworn to strike at the good.
[14:05] Adonis
    Tiziano, huh?
[14:07] Belle
    One of the top four solists?
[14:07] Good King
    Our god will play the divine
    summons, here and now.
[14:08] Adonis
    They've finally crossed into evil.
[14:10] Belle
    What happened?
[14:12] Adonis
    Tiziano's got a bad habit of seducing
    people irrespective of gender,
[14:15] Adonis
    then dangling themself as a prize
    to make their lovers fight each other.
[14:19] Adonis
    Basically, they play god.
[14:21] Adonis
    Gaff couldn't take it anymore
     and broke their sword in a duel.
[14:24] Good King
    Restore the scales to the
    balance our god desires.
[14:25] Adonis
    I don't know where they
     disappeared to afterward,
[14:28] Adonis
    but it sounds like they
    finally went over to evil.
[14:29] Good King
    You chosen solists of good,
    show forth the notes of your blades.
[14:30] Adonis
    Now they've stirred up the Underdogs
    and sworn vengeance on the Topdogs.

[14:37] Adonis
    So this is where their sword being broken
    and their good being tested got them...
[14:40] Adonis
    It's my story in reverse.
[14:42] Belle
    What do you mean
    about their good being tested?
[14:45] Adonis
    There's only one way to fix a broken sword.
[14:48] Adonis
    I can't tell you the details,
[14:50] Adonis
    but when you use it,
    a sword tests its wielder.
[14:54] Belle
    The sword tests you?
[14:54] Good King
    Carrol, Bosom Caresser,
    Stinger, Gordon, Benedictine,
[14:57] Belle
    Wait, so how is that your story in reverse?
[15:02] Adonis
    I started out on the outside.

    Brace yourself.
[15:17] Adonis
    This selection couldn't be worse.
[15:17] Good King
    Bellini, Gwyn...
[15:20] Belle
    I swear.
[15:21] Belle
    He keeps harping on me about matching
    everyone else. What the hell for?
[15:24] Adonis
    We're forming bands for this fight.
[15:27] Belle
    What's wrong with moving
    to counter what I see coming?
[15:30] Adonis
    You've got to follow the choreography
    in a battle of the bands, featureless.
[15:34] Belle
    Lay off with the "featureless" stuff.
[15:37] Adonis
    Sure thing, Lablac.
[15:38] Belle
    Call me Belle.
[15:41] Belle
    Little one, we shall no longer call
    you "featureless" henceforth.
[15:46] Belle
    You're such a goof.
[15:50] Gaff
    Oh? Fancy finding you together.
[15:52] Adonis
    Hey, is it true you organized
    the bands for this fight?
[15:57] Gaff
    The chosen solists are horribly mismatched.
[16:00] Gaff
    I grouped you all as best I could.
[16:03] Adonis
    "Take your complaints to the king," you mean?
[16:07] Gaff
    The second band and closing act
     will follow after you.
[16:12] Gaff
    You don't need to vanquish
    Tiziano on your own.
[16:15] Gaff
    Don't do anything rash.
[16:17] Adonis
    This whole battle is rash.
[16:20] Belle
    What do you mean?
[16:21] Adonis
    Listen up, Belle.
[16:23] Adonis
    The stage for our fight will be the Katakombe.
[16:26] Adonis
    The Underdogs consider it sacred ground,
    the way the Topdogs do their castle.
[16:31] Adonis
    They know more ways in and out than I
    can count, plus all the passages inside.
[16:36] Belle
    The opening act is fighting now
    to secure our way in though, right?
[16:41] Adonis
    The Underdogs will fight like hell.
[16:44] Adonis
    Do the Topdogs understand that?
[16:46] Gaff
    That's why I assigned you to the first band.
[16:49] Gaff
    You know the place like—
[16:50] Adonis
    Do you really think anyone will listen to me?
[16:53] Gaff
    Failing to win their trust
    could get you killed.
[16:59] Belle
    Adonis!
[17:01] Gaff
    The balance will shift considerably.
[17:10] Kitty
    Dear me. I suppose I must make do until
    the threads of fate pull it back to me.
[17:21] Kitty
    Oh? Color me impressed.
[17:23] Sian
    I mean you no harm,
    roaming prince of Denari Land.
[17:28] Kitty
    I haven't heard from you in a long time,
     roaming prince of Schwert Land.
[17:33] Sian
    I have nowhere left to roam.
[17:36] Kitty
    Oh?
[17:37] Kitty
    You don't sound like the man who reached
    my land through sheer determination,
[17:41] Kitty
    questing for the world's enigmas.
[17:44] Sian
    I merely came to ask the one who would
    abscond with reason what he intends.
[17:49] Kitty
    I was dispatched to observe
    and judge reason.
[17:54] Kitty
    Absconding with her will come later.
[17:57] Sian
    What is there to judge?
[17:58] Kitty
    If her menace can't be managed,
    I'll kill her and all who know of her.
[18:05] Sian
    But to depart this land, 
    she must question its reason.
[18:10] Kitty
    So it all comes down to Deus Ex Machina.
[18:14] Kitty
    A divine symphony of iron and blood...
    The gods' resistance, I suppose.
[18:18] Sian
    Indeed. And this god will try many a
    ploy to keep reason at bay,
[18:23] Sian
    so fiercely that it may nip reason in the bud.
[18:27] Kitty
    I won't let that happen.
[18:29] Kitty
    That's what you came to ask of me, is it not?
[18:33] Kitty
    Why don't you go yourself?
[18:37] Kitty
    Your curse, is it?
[18:38] Kitty
    Very well.
[18:40] Kitty
    But I have one more question for you.
[18:43] Kitty
    What is that girl to you?
[18:47] Sian
    She's like a raven blossom sprouting
    from my body after I've fallen in a play.
[18:55] Sian
    She will carry the corpses of words
    to heights I can never reach.
[19:02] Sian
    She is my hope.

    Thanks for the help.
    That was one hell of a trick you just pulled.

[08:40] Belle
    So that's how she ended up
     as obnoxious as Gordon.
[08:46] Kitty
    And why her personality collapsed
    when she lost him.
[08:50] Belle
    How awful...
[08:52] Kitty
    Most mermaids favor a wealth of shallow
    relationships for their own protection.

    I'm glad someone like you
    was on the other side.
[10:39] Belle
    People are talking.
[10:43] Gin
    This'll cost us, but we've got to do it.
[10:46] Adonis
    I know.
[10:47] Belle
    Adonis!
[10:51] Belle
    Thank goodness you're okay!
[10:55] Gwyn
    Perry...
[10:57] Adonis
    He just died.
[11:00] Belle
    Adonis?
[11:01] Adonis
    Belle, how many of ours made it?
[11:05] Belle
    Just those of us here.
[11:07] Adonis
    Okay.
[11:09] Adonis
    I'll take his sword.
[11:12] Cassis
    The sword thief.
[11:14] Adonis
    There's a lake up ahead.
[11:16] Adonis
    To people on the outside,
    it's one of the few places
[11:20] Adonis
    that soothes the souls
    of good and evil alike.
[11:23] Adonis
    I hear there's quite a show to see there.
[11:26] Kitty
    A show, you say?
[11:29] Cassis
    Who would arrange such a thing?
[11:31] Cassis
    Why don't they show themselves?
[11:33] Adonis
    He's the Underdog conductor.
[11:35] Belle
    What?!
[11:37] Cassis
    You're in league with the forces of evil?!
[11:40] Belle
    Hold on!
[11:41] Adonis
    We had this all wrong.
[11:43] Adonis
    Who is our enemy?
[11:45] Adonis
    Our enemy.
[11:47] Adonis
    Who sowed the seeds of this battle?
[11:51] Gwyn
    Tiziano.
[11:52] Adonis
    Exactly!
[11:53] Adonis
    We're up against Tiziano, and only Tiziano!
[11:56] Adonis
    The Topdogs and Underdogs have that in common!
[12:01] Belle
    Adonis...
[12:02] Adonis
    I'll say it again: our enemy is Tiziano!
[12:05] Adonis
    No one else!
[12:12] Gwyn
    This must be the lake.
[12:15] Benedictine
    But where's the show?
[12:18] Adonis
    Over there.
[12:25] Adonis
    Tiziano.
[13:01] Gwyn
    She's recreating a battle of good and evil?
[13:05] Adonis
    Using corpses, yeah.
[13:07] Adonis
    She wants to play god.
[13:10] Benedictine
    What's that light?
[13:12] Benedictine
    It looks just like Gordon's wounds.
[13:15] Belle
    No, it looks more like...
[13:18] Belle
    that god's tree.
[13:20] Kitty
    The mermaid appears to control the dead
[13:24] Kitty
    by embedding shards of her
    sword in their bodies.
[13:27] Gwyn
    H-Hang on...
[13:29] Gwyn
    Isn't this bad?
[13:35] Tiziano
    Adonis!
[13:40] Belle
    Crap!
[13:42] Gin
    This doesn't look good!
[13:43] Benedictine
    Enemy reinforcements?!
[13:44] Gin
    Over here! Hurry!
[13:46] Benedictine
    An illusion?
[13:47] Adonis
    We'll run for it! Follow me!
[13:54] Benedictine
    Watch out!
[14:01] Adonis
    Bamboo! Give me something hot and fragile!
[14:14] Belle
    It broke?
[14:20] Belle
    He treated his sword as disposable?
[14:23] Belle
    Is that how Adonis fights?
[14:25] Belle
    He only thinks about efficiently
    taking down his foes...
[14:28] Belle
    The polar opposite of me.
[14:32] Gwyn
    Look there!
[14:42] Adonis
    Hurry!
[14:48] Kitty
    No need!
[14:49] Kitty
    I'll see to it that no one breaches this door.
[14:59] Kitty
    Anyone who touches it from the other
    side will taste a scorching hell.
[15:09] Gin
    There you are.
[15:11] Gin
    So, we meet again.
[15:13] Belle
    I know you.
[15:15] Belle
    From my first trial.
[15:18] Gin
    The name's Gin Buck.
    I'm the Underdog conductor.
[15:23] Gwyn
    Then you gave Tiziano orders?
[15:26] Gin
    Yeah.
[15:27] Benedictine
    What was that "show" supposed to be?
[15:31] Gin
    That watery lass wasn't so far gone
     when she first showed up.
[15:36] Gin
    She could think straight,
    and she had life in her eyes.
[15:42] Gin
    I mean, she came to us
    and proposed an alliance.
[15:46] Belle
    She what?
[15:48] Gin
    She said the Topdogs would attack this place
[15:51] Gin
    and that she'd come because she had
    good reason to bloody their noses.
[15:56] Gin
    Basically, "Let's team up."
[15:59] Belle
    What's he talking about?
[16:01] Belle
    I thought we came here to fight Tiziano
    because she went over to evil.
[16:07] Gin
    Want me to tell you when that watery
    lass went off the deep end?
[16:12] Adonis
    When she laid eyes on me.
[16:15] Gin
    You got it.
[16:16] Gin
    Soon as she saw you, she started
    cutting up everyone in sight.
[16:21] Cassis
    Are you to blame for this, Adonis?
[16:24] Adonis
    Not me. Another man.
[16:27] Adonis
    He defied a divine summons
    and fled from battle.
[16:30] Adonis
    The priests executed him.
[16:32] Benedictine
    No!
[16:33] Adonis
    I was the one who broke the news to Tiziano
    that the man she loved most was dead.
[16:38] Adonis
    She started to lose it after that.
[16:42] Gin
    And now we're in this mess, huh?
[16:45] Adonis
    Seeing me must have brought back memories.
[16:50] Belle
    Adonis...
[16:53] Gin
    Well, whatever.
[16:54] Gin
    One thing's for sure. We'll all end up
     her puppets if we don't act fast.
[17:02] Gin
    So...
[17:03] Gin
    what do you say we join forces for a while?
[17:07] Benedictine
    You must be joking!
[17:09] Benedictine
    How do we know you won't
    lead us into a trap?
[17:11] Mist
    Excuse me? Is your head on straight?
[17:14] Benedictine
    What was that?!
[17:15] Mist
    Why would we bother tricking you?
[17:18] Mist
    We could've just picked you off
     one by one in the caves.
[17:22] Cassis
    Nevertheless, if we join forces,
    you'll learn of our swords and tactics.
[17:27] Benedictine
    Exactly! You're Underdogs!
    We'll end up fighting you again someday.
[17:31] Mist
    That's for sure.
[17:33] Mist
    I'll have to beat your puppeteered
    corpse once they kill you.
[17:42] Belle
    Come on, you lose this round.
[17:44] Belle
    We've gotta team up this time, Bennett.
[17:48] Benedictine
    All right, fine.
[17:50] Benedictine
    I'll play along if you say so, Belle.
[17:58] Gin
    Good. Let's divvy up roles, then.
[18:02] Gin
    Anyone object to me as the conductor?
SIGN    Conductor
[18:06] Belle
    How could we? I mean, we haven't got one.
[18:10] Gin
    Okay, that settles it.
[18:13] Gin
    Next, we need a director.
SIGN    Director
[18:15] Gin
    Hey, you there, want to give it a try?
[18:18] Kitty
    Me, you say?
[18:19] Gin
    We're a mixed force of good and evil.
[18:23] Gin
    Who better to direct us
    than a nomad who's neither?
[18:28] Gin
    Besides, there might be a lucky find
    in it for you if you take the job.
[18:33] Kitty
    Oh?
[18:34] Gin
    Hey, Mist.
[18:36] Gin
    Cough up that thing you
    "found" the other day.
[18:39] Mist
    What? Darn it...
[18:43] Gin
    This look familiar?
[18:45] Kitty
    Sure enough, the threads of fate hold fast.
[18:50] Gin
    Come again?
[18:51] Kitty
    Nothing. It certainly does.
[18:54] Kitty
    Well then, to show my gratitude,
    allow me to accept the role.
[18:59] Gin
    Great!
[19:00] Gin
    Next we need a libretto
    to plan our strategy.
SIGN    Libretto
    Scriptwriter
[19:05] Gwyn
    I'll do it if you really want me to.
[19:08] Mist
    What, giving up already?
[19:10] Gwyn
    Well...
[19:11] Gwyn
    So, what sort of script should I write?
[19:15] Gin
    Don't look at me. That's your job.
[19:18] Gwyn
    Yes, of course.
[19:19] Gwyn
    But I, er, thought I'd better
    take requests beforehand.
[19:23] Mist
    Are you stupid?!
[19:24] Mist
    Trying to make everyone happy is how you
    wound up with a formation so easy to break!
[19:29] Mist
    Just write it how you want.
[19:32] Gwyn
    You sure are strong.
[19:34] Mist
    What? You sure like hiding
    behind your weakness.
[19:38] Mist
    It's pathetic.
[19:40] Gwyn
    Maybe you're right.
[19:44] Gwyn
    I'll do it.
[19:46] Gwyn
    There's something I've been wanting to try.
[19:48] Gin
    Good to hear.
[19:50] Gin
    Next up...
[19:52] Cassis
    I'm a pianistus. I can't be anything else.
SIGN    Pianistus
    Accompanist
[19:54] Gin
    Oh yeah? And why's that?
[19:55] Cassis
    So that I may report the outcome
    of battle to the king, I—
[19:59] Gin
    Oh, so you just watch.
[20:01] Cassis
    We priests may not wield our swords.
[20:05] Gin
    Come again?
[20:06] Cassis
    While I wear this mask and chain,
    I am a solist and yet not.
[20:12] Cassis
    I merely observe battle in our god's
    stead and bring word to the king.
[20:17] Gin
    Got it.
[20:19] Gin
    Then stay behind me
    and out of our way, you hear?
[20:25] Tom
    Adonis.
[20:28] Tom
    What of your hands...?
[20:31] Tom
    I see. So even sacred ashes couldn't
    fix them after all.
[20:35] Adonis
    That wasn't the only reason
    I moved to the inside.
[20:40] Belle
    You two know each other?
[20:42] Tom
    He's my son.
[20:44] Belle
    Your son?
[20:46] Tom
    Yes.
[20:47] Tom
    I never dreamed we'd wield
    our swords together.
[20:49] Tom
    What a pleasant surprise.
[20:51] Belle
    So Adonis really used to be an evil solist?
[20:56] Tom
    No.
[20:57] Tom
    Our family, the Collinses, are outsiders,
    but we're neither good nor evil.
[21:02] Belle
    Huh?
[21:04] Tom
    For generations, our sole duty
    has been to guard the Katakombe.
[21:09] Belle
    You're not on either side?
[21:13] Gin
    Now then,
[21:15] Gin
    let's get in a little practice!

    Are you done?
[02:06] Gwyn
    More or less.
[02:07] Gin
    Give me the gist.
[02:09] Gwyn
    Three acts.
[02:10] Gin
    I'm gonna need more than that.
[02:13] Gwyn
    We'll set them all ablaze.
[02:16] Gin
    Fire, huh?
[02:17] Gwyn
    Yes.

    They can only come at us
     from two directions here.

    Make this place a fortress.

    Mr. Gin Buck!
[03:42] Kitty
    Behold the art of ward inversion.
[03:45] Gin
    Come now! There's more where they came from!
[03:56] Benedictine
    Will this do?
[03:58] Sandy
    What's wrong with these guys?!
[04:00] Sandy
    Let go!
[04:13] Belle
    Adonis!
[04:14] Belle
    Shit!
[04:27] Belle
    What the...?
[04:31] Belle
    It's withering.
[04:34] Belle
    His sword is crying out
[04:37] Belle
    and rotting away.
[04:41] Gin
    Damn the watery lass.
    She's toying with her pawns.
[04:46] Gin
    You sure called this one.
[04:48] Gwyn
    I break my own toys all the time,
    too. It helps me feel better.
[04:54] Gin
    I keep finding more reasons
    to be scared of you.
[05:03] Mist
    Cloud!
[05:05] Mist
    You'll pay for that!
[05:07] Mist
    Damn you!

    Not on my watch!
[05:22] Belle
    Bennett!
[05:25] Benedictine
    I'm fine.
[05:31] Belle
    That does it!
[05:39] Benedictine
    Belle...
[05:48] Belle
    Damn it!
[05:49] Belle
    You little...
[05:57] Benedictine; Bennett
    I'm fine, Belle.
[05:59] Belle
    Bennett?
[06:00] Belle
    Don't tell me...
[06:02] Benedictine; Bennett
    I can feel the woman in me going to sleep.
[06:07] Bennett
    She may never wake again.
[06:10] Guidance
    Mermaids don't change gender arbitrarily,
[06:14] Guidance
    but because they've chosen what
    to reflect in the mirrors of their minds.
[06:20] Bennett
    I'm aiming with my ears now, not my eyes.
[06:26] Gin
    We can beat corpses all day, but it makes no
     difference unless the watery lass joins in.
[06:32] Gwyn
    I know that.
[06:33] Gin
    How do we lure her out?
[06:35] Gwyn
    We convince her we're a threat,
    then give her an opening.
[06:39] Gwyn
    Finally, we lead her to think we're nearly
    done for and really rile her up.
[06:44] Gin
    Make her mad, huh?
[06:46] Gwyn
    Only rage will drive her to show herself.
[06:50] Gin
    He's reading her like a book. I'm impressed.
[06:55] Kitty
    I don't believe we can
    stand much more of this.
[06:58] Gin
    Okay, then time for the second act!
SIGN    Act Two
[07:11] Gin
    Let's dam up this stream
    while we have the chance.
[07:14] Kitty
    Certainly.
[07:20] Gin
    Over here! Divert that channel!
[07:22] Bennett
    Leave it to me.
[07:24] Mist
    Hey, what are we going for here?
[07:27] Gwyn
    We're cutting Tiziano off from the waterway.
[07:30] Bennett
    Water is a mermaid's element, after all.
[07:33] Gin
    Next, plug up this spring.
[07:36] Kitty
    Allow me.
[07:38] Belle
    That's Adonis's dad.
[07:46] Belle
    S-So, uh...
[07:48] Belle
    It's so dark here,
    I'm amazed you don't get lost.
[07:51] Belle
    Did you memorize the path?
[07:52] Tom
    Nothing like that.
[07:54] Tom
    I close my eyes and turn my focus inward,
    sensing the land itself to find my way.
[08:01] Belle
    What do you mean, focus inward?
[08:03] Tom
    Trust the visions you catch
    glimpses of in your mind.
[08:07] Tom
    They manifest a sort of invisible
     will that guides your course.
[08:15] Tom
    It isn't easy to develop the skill
    to see the unseeable through the darkness,
[08:22] Tom
    but it's not supernatural,
    and you don't need to be born with it.
[08:28] Tom
    I think we all tap into it sometimes
    without realizing it.
[08:35] Belle
    All of us?
[08:42] Gwyn
    That should be good enough.
[08:43] Gin
    Yeah.
[08:49] Tom
    We've no other choice? I feared as much.
[08:53] Gin
    Indeed. Lead the way.
[08:57] Tom
    Follow me.
[09:01] Belle
    Where are we going now?
[09:04] Adonis
    We call it Skyway Cemetery.
[09:07] Adonis
    It's a garden of death.
SIGN    Skyway Cemetery
[09:28] Belle
    Raven blossoms...
[09:34] Adonis
    They're flying off to notify the bereaved.
[09:37] Belle
    This really is a cemetery
     that leads to the sky.
[09:41] Adonis
    It's the most sacred, inviolable
    space in the Katakombe.
[09:46] Gin
    Here's where we make our last stand.
[09:50] Gin
    Sorry, Collins.
[09:52] Tom
    The fortunes of battle favor you.
     I'll abide by your decision.
[09:59] Gin
    Set wards around the whole cemetery.
[10:01] Kitty
    Dear me. You don't make things easy.
[10:04] Kitty
    I'll need a few moments
    to cover so much ground.
[10:07] Cassis
    Why here?!
[10:09] Cassis
    This place holds a legion
    of corpses for her to puppeteer!
[10:12] Cassis
    And there's only one entrance
     with nowhere to flee!
[10:30] Cassis
    I'll never draw my sword
    unless our god permits it.
[10:35] Cassis
    I'm a priest before I'm a solist.
[10:44] Gin
    They're here.
[10:57] Belle
    The wards are thin. They're spread too far.
[10:59] Cloud
    This doesn't look good!
[11:07] Mist
    How do you expect us
    to deal with this crap?!
[11:12] Bennett
    Something's coming.
[11:13] Bennett
    Do I hear water?
[11:15] Adonis
    Damn Tiziano.
[11:17] Adonis
    She broke the wards holding back the waterway.
[11:19] Belle
    What?!
[11:21] Gwyn
    It won't be long now.
[11:23] Gin
    No, it won't.
[11:25] Gin
    Think I can play my part?
[11:27] Gin
    I already know they'll bury 
    me here someday soon.
[11:32] Gwyn
    I don't feel up to my part either,
    but we've no alternative.
[11:38] Gwyn
    I want to believe that I'm worth this much.
[11:42] Gwyn
    That my life has value...
[11:48] Gin
    You said it.
[11:57] Mist
    Mr. Gin Buck!
[11:58] Gin
    Fall back!
[12:01] Gin
    You too. Get going.
[12:02] Gwyn
    Sir.
[12:09] Gin
    So, watery lass, we meet again.
[12:29] Gin
    I forgot how slow I am on my feet.
[12:35] Belle
    Gin Buck!
[12:36] Gin
    You little idiot! Forget about me!
[12:41] Belle
    Out of my way!
[12:42] Gin
    Run, you pudding-headed dolts!
[12:46] Gin
    Now...
[12:47] Gin
    let us close the curtain on the second act!
SIGN    Act Three
[13:01] Belle
    Well, damn.
[13:03] Tom
    This is why you covered the 
    whole cemetery in wards?
[13:07] Gin
    That's right.
[13:09] Cloud
    But why did the water
    vanish all of a sudden?
[13:12] Gwyn
    We had Kitty work an illusion into
    the warding holding back the waterway.
[13:16] Bennett
    So, when she broke it,
    a trickle appeared as a torrent.
[13:21] Belle
    I thought we were done for.
[13:25] Gin
    You should've left me.
[13:27] Adonis
    You don't get to go out in a blaze
    of glory after pulling this stunt.
[13:33] Tom
    We've incinerated the dead and a sacred
    place just to save our own skins.
[13:40] Adonis
    You still have raven seeds.
[13:43] Adonis
    Unless that changes, just keep sowing them.
[13:47] Tom
    We've lost a lot today.
[13:50] Tom
    That much is certain.
[13:52] Tom
    But we haven't lost ourselves.
[13:56] Tom
    Painful as it is, we ought to accept that.
[14:00] Mist
    I'm not letting this slide!
[14:02] Mist
    Someone's going to pay for it.
[14:06] Gin
    Here they come.
[14:08] Gin
    Look alive.
[14:09] Gin
    The final act starts now!
[14:15] Gin
    I knew she'd try this trick next.
[14:18] Gwyn
    So did I.
[14:35] Mist
    We wouldn't be in this mess
    if you hadn't come!
[14:39] Gwyn
    I won't die.
[14:41] Gwyn
    And I won't let you either!
[14:43] Gwyn
    I've come too far!
[14:44] Gwyn
    Too far!
[15:23] Gwyn
    Wasn't there any other way?
[15:30] Mist
    You idiot.
[15:36] Gwyn
    Mist, take this.
[15:38] Mist
    Huh?
[15:40] Gwyn
    I want you to grow this sword for me.
[15:44] Gwyn
    I'm not strong enough to do it
    with a missing arm.
[15:49] Mist
    What's this spell?
[15:51] Gwyn
    Evren. "Courage and cowardice."
[15:55] Gwyn
    One can't exist without the other.
[15:59] Mist
    Courage and cowardice...
[16:02] Gwyn
    I've taught it plenty of cowardice,
[16:06] Gwyn
    so now I'd like you to give
    it a lesson in courage.
[16:11] Mist
    Like when I gave you a piece of my mind?
[16:13] Gwyn
    Please.
[16:15] Mist
    Gwyn!
[16:24] Belle
    Is that sword consuming its wielder?
[16:28] Adonis
    Legna, huh? "One who commands."
[16:32] Adonis
    At this point, it just sounds pitiful.
[16:42] Belle
    What is this feeling?
[17:43] Tiziano
    Adonis!
[17:48] Belle
    Adonis!
[17:51] Kitty
    My beloved!
[18:01] Belle
    I don't know where or when,
    but I've felt like this before.
[18:08] Belle
    A stone egg...
[18:21] Belle
    Kitty!
[18:24] Kitty
    To determine up and down, right and left...
[18:27] Kitty
    To master position, direction, time, and place
[18:30] Kitty
    is the very essence of mathematics.
[18:33] Belle
    He always has a trick up his sleeve.
[18:38] Kitty
    There they are.
[18:40] Belle
    Adonis!
[18:42] Kitty
    I believe he's using his
    familiar as a foothold.
[18:46] Belle
    Hey, isn't that Perry's sword?
[18:50] Belle
    A Question mark! But why?!
[18:53] Kitty
    It appears his hands wither all
    they come in contact with.
[18:57] Belle
    That's ridiculous.
[18:59] Kitty
    You just saw steel wilt at his touch.
[19:04] Belle
    I know, but still!
[19:27] Belle
    She's laughing?
[19:28] Kitty
    What a danse macabre.
[19:31] Adonis
    Was it my fault, Tiz?
[19:36] Adonis
    Would you have been happier
    if your sword had stayed broken?
[19:42] Belle
    That sword is just like the god's tree.
[19:46] Kitty
    A cancerous sword.
SIGN    Cancerous Sword

[19:55] Belle
    What do you mean by "false god"?
[19:57] Kitty
    You'll understand someday.
[20:00] Kitty
    The ersatz gods of old and the people
    of paradise have already begun their war.
[20:06] Belle
    Start making sense.
[20:07] Kitty
    In any event, how shall we aid him from here?
[20:11] Belle
    I'll do it.
[20:13] Kitty
    As you wish.
[20:20] Belle
    I believe in you.
[20:25] Adonis
    Do your worst!
[20:26] Tiziano
    Adonis!
[21:04] Belle
    Was she her sword's puppet,
    just like the rest of them?
[21:13] Tiziano
    Adonis?
[21:18] Adonis
    No more worries, Tiz.
[21:30] Adonis
    It doesn't matter... if I touch you now.
[21:35] Adonis
    I'll sow raven seeds in you
[21:40] Adonis
    and tend them
[21:43] Adonis
    so they bloom beautifully.

    The wound no longer pains me.
[00:33] Gaff
    I can still play Schwert Musik for the dead.
[00:36] Belle
    What happened?
[00:39] Gaff
    I fought a priest of the Katakombe.
    He showed tremendous skill.
[00:43] Gaff
    Tom Collins, his name was.
[00:46] Belle
    Adonis's dad?!
[00:49] Gaff
    I slew him.
[00:53] Belle
    Why did you do it?
[00:55] Gaff
    The divine summons orchestrated that
    battle down to the closing band.
[01:01] Gaff
    I cannot stay my sword when
    our god wills otherwise.

    Your sword's the last one
    I'd ever want to die by.

    I wasn't paying attention.
[03:06] Sherry
    I see now. The city's simply full of pain.
[03:12] Belle
    Can you stand?
[03:21] Sherry
    I taste iron!
[03:25] Sherry
    I'm not accustomed to walking around the city.
[03:28] Sherry
    Maybe that's why I keep
    falling again and again.
[03:32] Sherry
    Bumping into people, tripping on stairs...
[03:37] Sherry
    But this is the first time I've gotten hurt.
[03:40] Sherry
    Who knew blood came out of noses?
[03:43] Sherry
    What an enormous sword!
[03:45] Sherry
    You must be a solist.
[03:47] Belle
    Do you feel okay? Are you hurt anywhere else?
[03:51] Belle
    It's like she just expects other
    people to clean her up.
[03:54] Belle
    Is she nobility from the castle?
[03:56] Belle
    Are you on your own?
[03:58] Belle
    You didn't even bring an umbrella.
[04:00] Sherry
    I've never gotten permission before.
[04:03] Sherry
    To go out on the town alone, I mean.
[04:05] Sherry
    They did give me an umbrella,
[04:08] Sherry
    but I didn't know how to open it,
     so I threw it away.
[04:11] Belle
    What does she mean, she didn't know how?
[04:15] Belle
    Are noblewomen really that sheltered?
[04:19] Sherry
    Um, Miss Solist?
[04:21] Belle
    Oh, just call me Belle.
[04:23] Sherry
    Goodness.
[04:25] Sherry
    That must make you Belle Lablac.
[04:29] Sherry
    How lovely you are.
[04:31] Belle
    E-E-Excuse me?
[04:33] Sherry
    So bold and dashing.
[04:35] Sherry
    A mighty solist, I'm certain.
[04:42] Belle
    You'll catch a cold standing out here.
[04:45] Sherry
    This rain wouldn't dream of harming me.
[04:50] Sherry
    I mean, I called it up with my own song.

    Oh, I haven't introduced myself.
[05:15] Sherry
    I'm Sherry. I'm on my way
    to see lead solist Shandy Gaff.
[05:24] Bennett
    You sure brought a load
     of trouble with you, didn't you?
[05:28] Belle
    What else was I supposed to do?
[05:30] Belle
    I don't know anyone else who
    might have clothes that fit her.
[05:34] Belle
    She must be freezing. Let her use your bath.
[05:38] Belle
    And, anyway, I came to see you as a woman.
[05:41] Belle
    How'd I get stuck with two drunk guys?
[05:44] Gwyn
    Hey!
[05:46] Bennett
    I can't help it.
[05:48] Bennett
    I haven't been a woman since I was injured,
    though I don't know if that's the cause.
[05:52] Bennett
    Please, come right this way.
[05:56] Sherry
    My! What a bath!
[05:58] Sherry
    O-Oh dear.
[06:01] Belle
    Remember: you peek, I fillet you.
[06:04] Bennett
    Really, Belle. I have my
    good name to consider.
[06:10] Gwyn
    That's rich. You're always running
    off on some fling or another.
[06:14] Bennett
    And you seem awfully hung up on
    that girl you gave your sword to!
[06:15] Sherry
    What's this?
[06:16] Belle
    You break it and hot water comes o—
[06:19] Sherry
    Oh, it's for breaking.
[06:22] Bennett
    No! My best carpet!
[06:25] Bennett
    What did I do to deserve this?!
[06:28] Sherry
    Are you certain this is enough water, Belle?
[06:28] Gwyn
    Her Highness doesn't even
    know how to take a bath!
[06:31] Bennett
    Belle! Take responsibility and show her!
[06:37] Belle
    Sherry, let's get in together.
[06:41] Sherry
    Certainly!
[06:43] Sherry
    These bubbles have such a lovely fragrance.
[06:47] Belle
    I guess Bennett doesn't skimp
    on foam fruits, either.
[06:51] Sherry
    I must tell my maidservants when I get back.
[06:54] Belle
    Man, you really do live like a princess.
[06:57] Gwyn
    You think maybe Belle doesn't know?
[06:59] Bennett
    How could she not?
[07:01] Bennett
    Princess Sherry is the castle's
    lead vocalist and...
[07:04] Belle
    King Rawhide's daughter?!
[07:13] Sherry
    Why, you have the same furniture as Shandy.
[07:17] Belle
    I borrowed it off him.
[07:18] Belle
    Gaff's been a lifesaver.
[07:22] Sherry
    And you've done so much for me.
[07:25] Sherry
    I wish I had some way to repay you.
[07:28] Belle
    Sing for me, then.
[07:30] Sherry
    Sing? Really?
[07:32] Belle
    Yeah. I want to hear you sing.
[07:35] Sherry
    But what should I sing?
[07:39] Sherry
    Nothing here is broken,
    and I mustn't stop the rain yet.
[07:45] Belle
    That's okay. I'd love to hear you
    sing whatever you feel like.
[07:51] Sherry
    All right.
[08:40] Belle
    Thank you. That was amazing.
[08:43] Sherry
    No one's ever asked me to repay
    a favor with song before.
[08:49] Belle
    Seems singing's really hard on you.
[08:56] Belle
    Sherry?
[09:01] Belle
    Huh?
[09:04] Sherry
    Shandy!
[09:05] Gaff
    Sherry? I never dreamed
    I'd find you with Belle.
[09:09] Sherry
    Do pardon me.
[09:11] Sherry
    I've been imposing.
[09:13] Sherry
    But she's just like you said she was.
[09:17] Sherry
    Strong, gallant, and profoundly perceptive.
[09:23] Sherry
    Her insight is so keen it's frightening.
[09:26] Gaff
    Apologies for the trouble, Belle.
[09:29] Belle
    Don't sweat it. I could say the same.
[09:31] Gaff
    Sherry.
[09:46] Kir
    Tiziano's sword?
[09:48] Kir
    What a dreadful Schwert Streich.
[09:51] Kir
    If Belle Lablac dealt this blow,
[09:54] Kir
    I couldn't hold a candle to her
    now that I've lost my own sword.
[09:59] Adonis
    I need to ask you something.
[10:03] Adonis
    Kir...
[10:04] Adonis
    Do you know about the examiner?
SIGN    Examiner
    One who tests
[10:06] Kir
    I've heard of them.
[10:09] Kir
    A royal inspector who visits
    solists with broken swords.
[10:13] Adonis
    Right now, I fulfill that role.
[10:17] Adonis
    The price I paid for sacred ashes.
[10:20] Adonis
    I was given something similar
    called "Ashes of the Tried,"
SIGN    Sacred Ashes
SIGN    Ashes of the Tried
[10:25] Adonis
    and I go around testing the good and evil
    in solists who've broken their swords.
[10:30] Kir
    Testing them how?
[10:32] Adonis
    When a broken sword is reborn,
    the sword tests its wielder.
[10:37] Kir
    "Reborn"?
[10:39] Kir
    So when Gaff shattered this sword
    of Tiziano's, you restored it to life?
[10:47] Adonis
    The resurrected sword turned
    Tiziano into a Nidhogg.
SIGN    Nidhogg
    Fiend
[10:52] Adonis
    I came back from the Katakombe with
    that certainty, and that doubt.
SIGN    Doubt
[10:57] Adonis
    I'm going to revive your sword,
[11:00] Adonis
    together with this one.
[11:01] Adonis
    That's my latest order from the priests.
[11:04] Adonis
    But if the reborn sword only exists
    to turn its wielder into a Nidhogg,
[11:11] Adonis
    I mean to break it again and ask
    the priests to explain themselves.
[11:16] Adonis
    Please allow me that.
[11:19] Kir
    You witnessed Tiziano's final moments.
[11:22] Kir
    Do as you wish.
[11:28] Adonis
    Ashes of the Tried...
[11:32] Adonis
    Your Lived. Tiziano's Legna.
[11:35] Adonis
    I will now subject both
    swords to examination.

    The magic of testing
[11:47] Kir
    Look at the spells!
[12:00] Kir
    Dillegnave!
[12:02] Kir
    "One who bears good tidings"
    in the tongue of the age of gods.
SIGN    Dillegnave
    One who bears good tidings
[12:05] Adonis
    I can't believe you know that.
[12:07] Kir
    I didn't. The sword told me.
[12:10] Adonis
    The sword told you?
[12:11] Kir
    Far from a thing of evil, this sword
    will grant me boundless strength.
[12:17] Kir
    Thank you, Adonis.
[12:20] Adonis
    Then it wasn't the sword
    that drove Tiziano mad after all...
[12:28] Belle
    That's a lot to digest.
[12:30] Adonis
    Yeah. I've made my peace
    with what happened to Tiz.
[12:35] Belle
    Have you? I'm glad to hear it.
[12:37] Adonis
    Anyway, sorry about that. You were saying?
[12:40] Belle
    Oh, right.
[12:42] Belle
    I felt kind of annoyed. Or maybe lonely.
[12:46] Adonis
    When Gaff put his arm
    around Princess Sherry's shoulders?
[12:51] Belle
    Bennett and Gwyn were cracking jokes about 
    love, but I do not have a thing for Gaff!
[12:57] Adonis
    Maybe it has more to do with the princess.
[13:00] Belle
    You think I fell for her?
[13:05] Adonis
    Listen, my point is...
[13:08] Adonis
    you could never be like her,
     even if you tried.
[13:12] Belle
    What's that supposed to mean?
[13:13] Adonis
    You're featureless.
[13:15] Belle
    You don't have to rub it in.
[13:17] Adonis
    You're the one who asked.
[13:20] Belle
    I don't judge people by their looks.
[13:24] Adonis
    I like it.
[13:26] Adonis
    Sometimes I even wish I could shave off
    my ears and fur so I'd look like you.
[13:33] Belle
    Now you're giving me the creeps.
[13:35] Adonis
    How old are you?
[13:37] Belle
    Who knows?
[13:38] Belle
    I know how long it's been since I hatched
    from that stone egg, but that's it.
[13:44] Adonis
    But you're a grown woman physically, right?
[13:47] Belle
    Who just comes out and asks that, jackass?!
[13:53] Adonis
    How would you feel
    about having my kids someday?
[13:56] Belle
    Huh?!
[13:58] Adonis
    That way, I might end up
    with little ones who look like you.
[14:05] Belle
    Your kids aren't you, you know?
[14:07] Adonis
    I know.
[14:09] Adonis
    Basically, I want to sleep with you.
[14:12] Belle
    What'd you say that for?!
[14:15] Adonis
    Not just to say it, and not
    on a whim. I know that much.
[14:17] Belle
    I'd go berserk if that's all it was.
[14:24] Adonis
    So, what do you say?
[14:29] Belle
    If I fall for you, then sure.
[14:34] Adonis
    To be honest, I'm not totally sure
    what possessed me to say it either.
[14:39] Belle
    Seriously?
[14:46] Belle
    Tell me, Adonis.
[14:49] Belle
    You can't grow swords, can you?
[14:56] Adonis
    Oh, right. I still haven't told you anything.
[15:00] Belle
    Huh?
[15:01] Adonis
    I just assumed I must have explained
    my whole deal at some point.
[15:05] Belle
    What?!
[15:07] Adonis
    I'm completely at ease with you.
[15:10] Adonis
    You're so strange. A total mystery.
[15:12] Belle
    One of us sure is.
[15:14] Adonis
    Bamboo.
[15:21] Adonis
    This is my curse.
[15:24] Adonis
    I've been stuck with it since I was born.
[15:32] Belle
    No way...
[15:34] Adonis
    Like you said, I can't grow swords.
[15:38] Belle
    Is there a reason?
[15:40] Adonis
    It's a nomad's curse.
[15:44] Adonis
    Before I was born, an old
    nomad visited the Katakombe.
[15:49] Adonis
    He wanted the Collins family
    to give him a funeral.
[15:53] Adonis
    If he died in the Katakombe,
[15:55] Adonis
    raven blossoms would carry the news
    to his lost homeland.
[15:59] Adonis
    By way of payment,
[16:01] Adonis
    the old nomad offered to help my family
    in what little time he had left.
[16:06] Adonis
    He defended the Katakombe alongside them
[16:10] Adonis
    and ultimately fell in battle.
[16:13] Adonis
    My father was there when it happened.
[16:16] Adonis
    He cradled the nomad's
    body without thinking.
[16:19] Adonis
    And then...
[16:21] (Flashback) Old Nomad
    You must not touch my blood.
[16:25] (Flashback) Old Nomad
    It's my curse.
[16:28] (Flashback) Old Nomad
    It spreads through nomad blood.
[16:33] (Flashback) Old Nomad
    Have faith that it will become a blessing...
[16:39] Adonis
    The curse didn't manifest in my father.
[16:42] Adonis
    That trial only affects those who
    overcome fear and accept it.
[16:46] Adonis
    Still, the nomad's blood never left my father.
[16:51] Adonis
    I was born a few years later.
[16:55] Adonis
    And this is the form
    the nomad's curse has taken.
[16:59] Adonis
    You could say I was born to become a nomad,
[17:03] Adonis
    even though I still have no
    reason to leave on a journey.
[17:09] Adonis
    I kept knocking on the door of journeys
[17:11] Adonis
    and wound up one of the top four solists,
    wondering what the hell our god wants.
[17:17] Adonis
    I still haven't found any kind of meaning.
[17:21] Adonis
    In the end, no one knows
    what they're living for.
[17:26] Belle
    I've always felt the same way, deep down.
[17:31] Belle
    I... I want to know my roots!
[17:34] Belle
    So I can find my roots.
[17:37] Belle
    I want to know who I am, where I
    came from, and where I should go!
[17:45] Belle
    Let's go on a journey, Adonis.
[17:48] Belle
    Knock on the door of journeys with me!
[17:53] Adonis
    Do you remember those pops?
[17:57] Adonis
    I noticed you feeding them,
[18:01] Adonis
    and I couldn't understand why.
[18:03] Adonis
    Why does she feed them?
[18:06] Adonis
    And if she's feeding them,
    why not take them in?
[18:10] Adonis
    Why does she look so happy?
[18:14] Adonis
    Why does she want to leave on a journey,
[18:18] Adonis
    even if it means taking on a curse?
[18:24] Adonis
    I bet traveling with you
    would never get dull.
[18:39] Sherry
    I'd like you to return these
    clothes to that gentleman.
[18:43] Belle
    I see you learned how to work an umbrella.
[18:45] Sherry
    I had Shandy teach me.
[18:48] Sherry
    Oh, how I struggled at first.
[18:50] Belle
    I'll bet.
[18:52] Sherry
    To be honest, I wanted to see you
    so I could ask you something.
[18:58] Sherry
    When I sang here, you said that it
    seemed hard on me, did you not?
[19:05] Sherry
    No one has ever said
    anything like that before.
[19:09] Sherry
    Singing is all I have.
[19:11] Sherry
    I've been singing for the castle and
    the people since I was but a child.
[19:16] Sherry
    Who would spare me a glance if I couldn't?
[19:20] Sherry
    How could singing... be hard on me?
[19:25] Sherry
    Why, Belle?
[19:27] Belle
    Sherry.
[19:32] Adonis
    Belle.
[19:34] Adonis
    Oh, you already have company.
[19:36] Adonis
    No big deal. I was just wondering if you
    wanted to get something to eat.
[19:39] Belle
    That's it!
[19:40] Belle
    Sherry! I might just have your answer!
[19:45] Belle
    Nice going, Adonis!
[19:57] Sherry
    My, you have so many charming friends.
[20:00] Belle
    They can be your friends, too,
     if you ever feel like it.
[20:04] Gwyn
    Naturally.
[20:05] Bennett
    Just say the word.
[20:08] Sherry
    Thank you.
[20:13] Kitty
    There she is.
[20:16] Belle
    I ordered a song.
[20:17] Sherry
    A song?
[21:38] Sherry
    E-Excuse me!
[21:43] Kitty
    She cannot speak except for in song.
[21:48] Kitty
    Likewise with her hearing.
     It's her nomad's curse.
[21:59] Sherry
    I hate crying. It's cowardly.
[22:03] Sherry
    I don't want to cry and feel better.
[22:06] Sherry
    Look. Does she shed a single tear?
[22:12] Sherry
    As a fellow songstress, I feel envious,
    frustrated, and heartbroken.
[22:17] Sherry
    But...
[22:19] Sherry
    the thought that I can still
    cry fills me with joy.
[22:25] Kitty
    Well, Belle wept when 
    she first heard a song here.
[22:30] Sherry
    You mean you cry too?
[22:33] Belle
    Well, yeah. Whenever I feel like it.
[22:38] Sherry
    I want to be needed!
[22:42] Sherry
    Does anyone have need of someone who cries?
[22:46] Belle
    You'll forget how to need other
    people if you keep that up.
[22:51] Belle
    Must be hard on you.
[22:54] Sherry
    True...
[22:55] Belle
    I bet you won't stay that
    way anymore, though.
[23:00] Sherry
    True.
[23:02] Belle
    No, I said too much. Sorry.
[23:06] Sherry
    True.
[23:07] Belle
    Basically, er, I want
    to feel needed too, so...

    You understand, right, Sherry?

[05:39] Kitty
    Good evening, Belle Lablac.
[05:41] Kitty
    You look simply radiant.
[05:44] Kitty
    In Denari Land, we call
    ones such as you "empty."

    Empty

    Me?
[06:00] Kitty
    Even flowers dance.
    Surely beasts do as well.
[06:03] Kitty
    So why should my beloved
    deny herself the pleasure?
[06:12] Belle
    So, what did you mean by "empty"?
[06:14] Kitty
    Free as the air.
[06:16] Kitty
    To know one's roots and one's place
     but not be bound by them.
[06:21] Kitty
    It refers to those who
    seek to escape all bonds
[06:25] Kitty
    and ultimately transcend escape itself.
[06:30] Belle
    That's "empty"?
[06:33] Kitty
    The steps are fortuitous
[06:34] Kitty
    and yet inevitable.
[06:36] Kitty
    Put no foot forward,
     and naught will come of it.
[06:39] Kitty
    Step forward, and you step toward death.
[06:41] Kitty
    All is empty.
[06:43] Kitty
    All things will be set free
    to simply move and flow.
[06:53] Adonis
    You broke Tiziano's sword in
    the first place, didn't you?
[06:58] Gaff
    They looked like they wanted me to.
[07:00] Adonis
    Because you wouldn't take them to bed?
[07:03] Gaff
    That's right.
[07:04] Gaff
    Although rumor painted the two
    of you rather close as well.
[07:09] Adonis
    Tiz was just lonely.
[07:12] Gaff
    We could never comprehend their sorrow.
[07:16] Adonis
    Is that what you wanted to talk about?
[07:19] Gaff
    No, but it is related.
[07:22] Gaff
    In the Katakombe, I crossed swords
    with your father, Tom Collins,
[07:28] Gaff
    and slew him.
[07:29] Adonis
    I know.
[07:31] Adonis
    A raven brought me the news.
[07:34] Gaff
    I see.
[07:35] Adonis
    That's the way he would've wanted to go,
     defending the Katakombe.
[07:42] Adonis
    What's this really about?
[07:44] Gaff
    Your father's sword is in my care.
[07:48] Adonis
    What do you want from me?
[07:51] Gaff
    If you want his sword,
[07:53] Gaff
    return all the blades you've
    stolen from the fallen.
[07:59] Adonis
    That's your judgment as lead solist?
[08:03] Gaff
    It is.
[08:04] Adonis
    In that case...
[08:08] Adonis
    As a solist, I challenge you to a duel!
[08:11] Gaff
    Why, Adonis?
[08:13] Adonis
    Bamboo!
[08:17] Adonis
    Let's keep the guests entertained.
[08:19] Adonis
    Lead solist, I want you to take up
    your sword like the rest of us.
[08:24] Gaff
    I will not grant you battle here and now.
[08:39] Kir
    What's this, gentlemen? A duel?
[08:43] Kir
    You would fight here?
[08:44] Kir
    You have no audience. No witnesses.
[08:48] Kir
    What a waste.
[08:50] Adonis
    Kir...
[08:51] Gaff
    It's nothing like that, Kir.
[08:53] Kir
    But Adonis holds his sword drawn.
[08:56] Gaff
    That doesn't mean I'll draw mine!
[08:58] Kir
    You won't draw your sword?
[09:01] Kir
    Then die.
[09:07] Priest
    Lord Gaff!
[09:13] Adonis
    Their chains came undone?!
[09:15] Gaff
    So our god commands us...
[09:18] Gaff
    to strike him down!
[09:30] Kir
    Pathetic.
[09:31] Kir
    A magnificent sword, is it not?
[09:34] Kir
    It was rather a struggle to master it so well.
[09:38] Adonis
    Oh, Kir...
[09:40] Adonis
    What have you done?!
[09:42] Kir
    The rest, I leave to you.
[09:45] Kir
    Kill him however you please.
[09:54] Kir
    Child's play.
[09:57] Adonis
    W-Wait!
[09:59] Kir
    Belle Lablac awaits me.
[10:03] Kir
    I couldn't have done this
    without you, Adonis.
[10:07] Kir
    Without you, this sword
    would never have been.
[10:28] Sherry
    No...
[10:32] Sherry
    Let my voice relay a message from our god.
[10:38] Sherry
    Heed well. A Nidhogg, one who
    gnaws at the divine tree's roots,
[10:43] Sherry
    came into this world with a fiendish sword.
[10:47] Sherry
    His identity: solist Kir Royale.
[10:52] Sherry
    I hereby order battle.
[10:55] Sherry
    Vanquish Kir Royale and bring him death.
[11:00] Sherry
    To take up arms in this fight, I name...
[11:07] Sherry
    Belle Lablac, she who knocks
    on the door of journeys,
[11:11] Sherry
    and none other!
[11:16] Priestess
    Princess!
[11:17] Belle
    Sherry!
[11:18] Sherry
    Run!
[11:19] Sherry
    Run, Belle!
[11:29] Kir
    Where are you, Belle Lablac?!
[11:35] Kir
    Lablac!
[11:41] Gwyn
    The way our god tells it,
[11:42] Gwyn
    I don't get to fight you.
[11:50] Kir
    Whelps.
[11:52] Gwyn
    This must be the "Nidhogg"
    mentioned in the divine summons.
[11:56] Bennett
    Yeah. That sword is trying to consume Kir.
[11:59] Bennett
    It's just like...
[12:11] Belle
    Kir!
[12:12] Belle
    I'm right here!
[12:15] Kitty
    Come, my formulae!
[12:19] Kir
    Lablac!
[12:24] Kitty
    Astounding! He cut my calculations.
[12:27] Kir
    Where is your sword?!
[12:29] Kir
    Do you expect me to kill you unarmed?!
[12:32] Belle
    Look at his arm...
[12:35] Belle
    Is that sword consuming its wielder?
[12:38] Adonis
    I've made my peace
    with what happened to Tiz.
[12:43] Belle
    What gives?
[12:45] Kitty
    Belle! The divine summons called upon you!
[12:48] Kitty
    This is your last duty before
    you can go journeying!
[12:58] Belle
    Runding, this is our final trial!
[13:04] Belle
    What?
[13:06] Belle
    I feel like I'm meeting
    you for the first time.
[13:11] Belle
    My friend...
[13:16] Belle
    I get it now.
[13:18] Belle
    I'm the one who's changed.
[13:36] Belle
    Let's do this, partner.
[13:39] Belle
    Our audience is waiting
    on the edge of their seats.
[13:50] Belle
    Get back, Kitty the All!
[13:52] Belle
    He's mine to fight!
[13:55] Kir
    So you finally take up your sword, Lablac.
[14:00] Kitty
    Belle! Beware his fang!
[14:07] Belle
    What?!
[14:08] Kitty
    His sword is imbued with
    the power of Restau Rant.
[14:11] Kitty
    No shield can block a blade
    that cuts through dimensions!
[14:14] Belle
    Thanks, Kitty.
[14:18] Kir
    This is a duel. I trust you understand that.
[14:22] Belle
    Kir.
[14:24] Belle
    We clashed, and I broke your
    sword. If we'd never met...
[14:31] Guidance
    The rain of sorrow will
    freeze and starve you.
[14:36] Belle
    I understand, all right!
[14:57] Kitty
    Incredible!
[14:58] Kitty
    My beloved can cleave even
    the dimension-tearing of that blade!
[15:05] Belle
    This is the sword you're so proud of?!
[15:08] Belle
    I liked your old one a hell of a lot better!
[15:14] Belle
    Look at what you've become!
[15:17] Belle
    Did you feed that thing
    your solist spirit, too?!
[15:26] Belle
    That does it!
[15:34] Belle
    Solists aren't for you to feed on!
[15:44] Belle
    Looks like I can cut you.
[15:55] Kir
    Lablac!
[16:06] Sherry
    Someone save her!
[16:08] Sherry
    Please!
[16:10] Sherry
    Save Belle!
[16:13] Kir
    You, a priestess, would flaunt a divine order
[16:15] Kir
    and sully our battle by begging for her life?!
[16:18] Belle
    Sherry!
[16:24] Sherry
    Belle!
[16:27] Sherry
    Goodness.
[16:29] Belle
    I'm fine, Sherry.
[16:34] Belle
    You sang like you were having a blast.
[16:50] Belle
    It's not the sword...
[16:52] Belle
    The divine tree is eating solists.
[16:57] Belle
    This is a god?
[16:59] Belle
    This is the god of Schwert Land?
[17:09] Belle
    The divine tree still won't look at me.
[17:19] Belle
    Birds bring messages of death...
[17:25] Belle
    Are Nidhoggs just the divine
    tree's messenger birds?
[17:34] Belle
    If so, then what is it saying? And to who?
[17:40] Belle
    Maybe Nidhoggs gnaw at the divine tree...
[17:46] Belle
    because it has no one to talk to but itself!
[18:06] Kir
    You... are strong.
[18:10] Kir
    Have no regrets.
[18:18] Belle
    This tree doesn't look
    at anyone except itself.
[18:31] Belle
    How long are you gonna stay
    cooped up in Bamboo, Adonis?
[18:37] Belle
    What happened to you?
[18:39] Belle
    I have so much to talk about with you.

    to the door of journeys.
[18:52] Belle

[02:27] Belle
    I want the key that will allow me to do so.
[02:29] Evil King
    For what reason do you wish to depart
    the realm from our throne room?
[02:36] Belle
    I'll go on a journey.
[02:37] Belle
    A journey to find out who and what I am.
[02:42] Kings
    What title do you desire in our throne room?
[02:50] Belle
    I want to become a nomad.
[02:52] Belle
    That's the title I desire,
    and the one that suits me best!
[03:04] Kings
    Then, little one, play the key.
[03:09] Good King
    Reveal your soul's timbre.
[03:14] Evil King
    Do so, and a spell to overcome divine
    barriers will be engraved within you.
[03:29] Belle
    What's this?
[03:30] Good King
    You look upon the keyboard vessel,
    the key to journeys.
SIGN    Keyboard Vessel
[03:36] Belle
    This is the key?
[03:44] Evil King
    The key recognizes those who would play it.
[03:49] Good King
    As for how you play...
[03:52] Evil King
    Do as you will.
[03:56] Belle
    Easy for you to say.
[03:59] Belle
    What's this?
[04:01] Kings
    "Moonwork."
[04:03] Kings
    A spell from the age of gods.
    It means "to do as the moon."
SIGN    Moonwork
    To do as the moon
[04:08] Belle
    "To do as the moon"?
[04:11] Kings
    A spiral of progression and regression.
[04:14] Good King
    To do as the moon is
    to regress while progressing,
[04:21] Good King
    as the turning of the seasons
    or the cycle of life and death.
[04:24] Good King
    That which reverts to its origin
    yet is different than it was.
[04:29] Good King
    It goes on changing.
[04:32] Belle
    "The moon"?
[04:33] Belle
    What even is that?
[04:36] Evil King
    A mystery from the age of gods.
     None now can fathom it.
[04:43] Belle
    What's this feeling?
[04:47] Belle
    I should've had this answer when I was born.
[04:50] Belle
    My words...
[04:54] Belle
    I'm on the right path.
[04:56] Belle
    Going journeying and meeting
    Runding and coming to Park City
[05:01] Belle
    have all been indispensable
    steps toward knowing myself.
[05:07] Belle
    All is free.
[05:19] Belle
    This... is my timbre?
[05:26] Good King
    The key will resonate with you and play
    the old magic that enables travel.
[05:32] Evil King
    But first, you must encounter chance
[05:36] Evil King
    and understand that which has
    the form of heart and mind.
[05:40] Belle
    The form of heart and mind?
[05:43] Kings
    It is called...
[05:45] Kings
    "Now Here."
SIGN    Now Here
    That which is
[05:48] Belle
    "Now Here"?
[05:49] Good King
    You will exile yourself from divine law
[05:53] Good King
    and take on a great curse,
    believing it will someday become a blessing.
[06:01] Evil King
    You will bespell yourself to keep your
    own way, alone, wherever you may be.
[06:11] Belle
    Pierce the world!
[06:13] Belle
    I'll go out of tune and let out a howl.
[06:16] Belle
    When I do, a hole will open in the world—me!
[06:21] Belle
    I'll let my being truly blossom!
[06:25] Belle
    This is what my sword taught me.
[06:37] Belle
    But it won't work...
[06:40] Belle
    Not yet.
[06:45] Belle
    This instrument expresses freedom,
    but I can't feel it as freedom yet.
[06:52] Belle
    I feel lonely.
[06:53] Belle
    I feel so lonely I could go crazy.
[06:58] Good King
    Then you will forsake this trial?
[07:02] Belle
    I mean, just listen...
[07:08] Belle
    Talk about heavy.
[07:11] Evil King
    Then do you accept permanent
    residence in this land?
[07:16] Belle
    No, I don't.
[07:17] Belle
    I'm gonna wait for my next chance.
[07:20] Good King
    But little one...
[07:23] Evil King
    You who wreak howls...
[07:25] Belle
    Wreak howls?
[07:27] Good King
    Many will suffer unbearable worry
     when you journey forth.
[07:35] Good King
    The howl of being you release
    will make it so.
[07:40] Belle
    Are you saying I'm a bad influence on people?
[07:44] Evil King
    You know not what you wreak.
[07:49] Kings
    Our god does not wish it.
[07:53] Kings
    Little one, should you
    find the key beyond you,
[08:00] Kings
    make a new home in Park City.
    Nay, in this very castle.
[08:14] Belle
    I'll think about it.
[08:17] Belle
    But I'm going on my journey.
[08:19] Belle
    My mind's made up.
[08:21] Belle
    This isn't the homeland where I belong.
[08:24] Belle
    Even if I can't play the key,
[08:27] Belle
    I'll fight against the divine walls,
[08:30] Belle
    and if I'm unlucky, I'll perish.
[08:33] Belle
    It's as simple as that.
[08:56] Man 2
    Sword thief!
[08:58] Man 3
    Hope you know what you've got coming!
[09:00] Man 1
    Now give us back our swords!
[09:03] Adonis
    All right.
[09:06] Adonis
    Bamboo.
[09:09] Man 2
    Look at that weird magic.
[09:12] Man 2
    No wonder we couldn't find 'em anywhere.
[09:15] Man 1
    We're not done yet.
[09:17] Man 1
    Cough up all the swords you've
    got stashed away! Now!
[09:21] Adonis
    And then?
[09:22] Man 1
    I'll take over your position!
[09:25] Adonis
    You couldn't handle it.
[09:27] Man 1
    Oh yeah?!
[09:37] Adonis
    I knew things would turn out this way!
[09:39] Adonis
    I knew before I came to Park City!
[09:41] Adonis
    I knew before I became a solist!
[09:44] Man 2
    I-I'll be damned if I call
     the likes of you a solist,
[09:48] Man 2
    you freak!
[09:50] Adonis
    What is a solist? What is a sword?
[09:54] Adonis
    Who are you? What are you?
[09:57] Adonis
    What do you live for?
[09:59] Adonis
    What do you die for?
[10:00] Adonis
    What is death?!
[10:03] Adonis
    Show me.
[10:13] Adonis
    I knew things would turn out this way.
[10:16] Adonis
    I can hone my skills all I want,
    but my swords still end up like this.
[10:20] Adonis
    What should I do?
[10:21] Adonis
    Should I be killed? Or go on living?
[10:26] Adonis
    Should I cry for someone to end me?
[10:33] Adonis
    I knew things would turn out this way...
[10:38] Adonis
    I'm a partial corpse.
[10:41] Adonis
    What do I want from this world that
    I was born cursed and cast out into?
[10:47] Adonis
    I don't even know.
[10:49] Adonis
    I had no choice but to doubt the world.
[10:53] Adonis
    Until I met that girl.
[10:57] Adonis
    She seems so utterly alive.
[11:00] Adonis
    For the first time,
    I felt truly drawn to someone.
[11:03] Adonis
    I felt like I could truly want something.
[11:08] Adonis
    I felt like I could become truly alive.
[11:11] Belle
    Adonis!
[11:15] Adonis
    Did you already pass the trial?
[11:17] Belle
    I couldn't do it.
[11:18] Belle
    I can't open the door yet.
[11:22] Adonis
    Knowing you, you'll find a way soon enough.
[11:25] Belle
    I'm honestly relieved to hear you say that.
[11:28] Belle
    I'm feeling pretty stumped here.
[11:31] Belle
    You smell like blood.
[11:33] Adonis
    All solists do.
[11:36] Adonis
    But for some reason...
[11:38] Adonis
    you smell nice, even when you reek of blood.
[11:41] Belle
    Doofus.
[11:44] Adonis
    Did you see the key?
[11:46] Adonis
    I can't help thinking
    it's a tool for exiling yourself.
[11:52] Adonis
    It hurts so much.
[11:55] Adonis
    Before I know it,
    everything around me goes dark,
[11:58] Adonis
    and I can't even use my
    hands to feel my way.
[12:02] Belle
    You know, your dad said that
[12:05] Belle
    if you believe you can see in the
    dark and trust in that,
[12:09] Belle
    feeling where the current leads,
[12:13] Belle
    something will appear to guide you.
[12:17] Adonis
    Thanks.
[12:18] Belle
    Adonis...
[12:19] Adonis
    I'd like to try fighting back my own way.
[12:35] Belle
    I'll be waiting in your room.
[12:46] Adonis
    Sire, the time has come
    for me to voice my doubt!
SIGN    Doubt
[12:52] Adonis
    What are the Ashes of the Tried?!
[12:53] Adonis
    What do they test in those
    whose swords are broken?!
[12:58] Adonis
    What are sacred ashes?!
[12:59] Adonis
    Where do they come from?!
[13:01] Adonis
    How are they connected
    to the Ashes of the Tried?!
[13:05] Adonis
    What are swords?!
[13:06] Adonis
    What does it mean to wield one?!
[13:08] Adonis
    Why does our god ask us to take them up?!
[13:12] Adonis
    If it's the Law of Theme,
    then what is the theme?!
[13:16] Adonis
    What is a cancerous sword?!
[13:19] Adonis
    Why do they drive their wielders mad?!
[13:21] Adonis
    What is a Nidhogg, really?!
[13:23] Adonis
    Why does our god want to make more of them?!
[13:27] Adonis
    Why did Tiziano have to go mad?!
[13:30] Adonis
    Kir too!
[13:32] Adonis
    Why did you send me to spread
    the Ashes of the Tried?!
[13:35] Adonis
    Sire, can you hear my questions?!
[13:38] Adonis
    What is our god?! What is Deus Ex Machina?!
[13:41] Kings
    Doubting one...
[13:44] Good King
    Everything is part of the
    harmony our god arranges.
[13:49] Good King
    Your doubt departs not one step
     from the Law of Theme.
[13:54] Adonis
    What?
[13:55] Evil King
    Behold.
[13:56] Evil King
    Can you see the fruits
    of your swordplay behind you?
[14:02] Adonis
    There's no way...
[14:04] Good King
    The Ashes of the Tried are scattered
[14:07] Good King
    so that the divine tree may grow
    branches and support its roots.
[14:12] Evil King
    Only after infecting solists as deathly ashes
     can they become sacred.
[14:20] Good King
    A cancerous sword is steel whose
    cells multiply without limit.
[14:26] Evil King
    Through quietus, it dies a death
    and bestows eternal survival.
[14:33] Good King
    Due to your curse,
    you were born an outsider.
[14:39] Evil King
    Thus, our god bestows a greater
    receptacle for your control.
[14:45] Good King
    Hence your role as examiner.

[14:51] Adonis
    Me, the Prince Fatal?
[14:53] Adonis
    That's not what I want at all!
[14:56] Good King
    Behold.
[14:57] Good King
    Our god has already woven that which
    you seek into the divine harmony.
[15:03] Adonis
    What's this?
[15:06] Adonis
    It doesn't rot?!
[15:08] Adonis
    That can't be!
[15:10] Adonis
    I decide what I want!
[15:18] Adonis
    What kind of trick are you trying to play?!
[15:20] Good King
    You just beheld yourself, harmonized.
[15:26] Evil King
    You just touched yourself, mechanized.
[15:32] Kings
    Under the divine tree, you shall
    become one of our god's records.
[15:37] Adonis
    A record?
[15:38] Good King
    All your memories will be discarded
    and your being converted to a record.
[15:44] Evil King
    Then you will give yourself
    to eternal survival,
[15:50] Evil King
    and join our god at the divine tree's
    root as a blue priest of the chronicle.
[16:00] Evil King
    Behold.
[16:02] Evil King
    They offered themselves
    to our god at your hand.
[16:06] Evil King
    Witness them modeled.
[16:14] Adonis
    It can't be...
[16:29] Adonis
    Stop...
[16:31] Adonis
    Please stop.
[16:33] Adonis
    Help...
[16:34] Adonis
    Save me, Belle...
[16:37] Good King
    You cannot escape.
[16:40] Evil King
    There is but one way out.
[17:09] Adonis
    I don't have one...
[17:11] Adonis
    I don't have a reason to go on a journey.
[17:16] Good King
    Doubting one, swear to become
    part of this land's foundation.
[17:23] Good King
    Your eternal peace awaits here in—
[17:38] Evil King
    In the end, even you...
[17:47] Adonis
    Nothing.
[17:53] Adonis
    I don't have... anything.
[18:03] Belle
    Oh man.
[18:05] Belle
    I was so sure I could take any
    trial they threw at me head-on.
[18:22] Belle
    Don't tell me...
[18:23] Adonis
    My eldest brother is dead.
[18:26] Belle
    Adonis.
[18:28] Adonis
    The miasma of death ate away at him.
[18:31] Adonis
    That's the price our family pays
    for guarding the Katakombe.
[18:35] Adonis
    I couldn't do it.
[18:37] Adonis
    No surprise there.
[18:39] Belle
    I see.
[18:42] Adonis
    Belle...
[18:43] Adonis
    Save me, Belle.
[18:46] Belle
    What do you mean?
[18:51] Belle
    Hey.
[18:52] Adonis
    Why am I the only thing
     my hands won't wither?
[18:57] Adonis
    My mother died when I was born.
[19:01] Adonis
    My touch killed her from within.
[19:04] Adonis
    So I've never known a mother's warmth.
[19:09] Adonis
    I don't know what warmth is...
[19:11] Adonis
    even though I'm so cold.
[19:14] Adonis
    I'm a partial corpse.
[19:16] Adonis
    I've only lived so I can fully die
     without ever being really alive.
[19:22] Adonis
    Today, I learned where the dead
    go to their eternal rest.
[19:26] Adonis
    It's the last place I ever
    want to be dragged off to.
[19:31] Adonis
    But I've got no way left to fight it.
[19:34] Belle
    Isn't there anything I can do for you?
[19:38] Adonis
    Can you cut me?
[19:42] Belle
    Of course I can't.
[19:44] Adonis
    Belle, fight me.
[19:47] Belle
    What for?
[19:48] Adonis
    The door to journeys isn't
    big enough for two.
[19:52] Belle
    That's not what I'm asking!
[19:54] Belle
    Don't force a shitty role on me!
[20:00] Belle
    Stop.
[20:02] Adonis
    Do my hands scare you?
[20:04] Belle
    Not one bit.
[20:05] Adonis
    Then...
[20:07] Belle
    We haven't fallen in love.
[20:08] Adonis
    What?
[20:09] Belle
    We haven't fallen for each other yet.
[20:12] Belle
    Neither one of us.
[20:15] Adonis
    I don't care.
[20:17] Adonis
    I've never felt anything
    like that in my life.
[20:21] Adonis
    I don't think I ever could.
[20:24] Adonis
    But who—
[20:25] Belle
    A-Adonis!
[20:27] Adonis
    Who else would ever see you as a woman?!
[20:44] Belle
    I'll kill you.

[02:01] Dram
    Rusty Nail is a fitting
    instrument for you to play.
[02:06] Dram
    That is the name of the form
     I saw in its steel.

[02:14] Adonis
    This is my sword.
[02:17] Adonis
    This monster of a sword... is mine?

[03:59] Bennett
    Oh? Now this is a surprise.
[04:03] Bennett
    We hadn't heard from you in so
    long we were getting worried.
[04:06] Bennett
    Come on in.
[04:09] Bennett
    Belle?
[04:11] Belle
    I couldn't do it.
[04:13] Gwyn
    The door to journeys must be
    a real tough nut to crack.
[04:17] Belle
    Gwyn, when's the next battle?
[04:21] Gwyn
    It starts in three days.
[04:23] Gwyn
    We'll be fighting over farmland. Why?
[04:26] Belle
    I want you to include me.
[04:28] Gwyn
    You, Belle?
[04:29] Gwyn
    What brought this on?
[04:31] Belle
    I want to swing my sword.
[04:37] Gwyn
    She looks white as a sheet,
[04:39] Gwyn
    and she's still looking for a swordfight?
[04:42] Gwyn
    There's always some love affair
    at the bottom of such things.
[04:46] Bennett
    What do you have to sulk about?
[04:49] Bennett
    You've got that foulmouthed
    Underdog girl, remember?
[04:53] Gwyn
    And you never stick to one partner.
[04:56] Gwyn
    You've got nothing to hold over my head.
[05:00] Bennett
    She's special, that girl.
[05:04] Bennett
    You can't peg her age.
    She's free of all external markers, too.
[05:09] Bennett
    Beauty and ugliness no longer apply.
[05:12] Bennett
    I'm almost jealous of her.
[05:16] Gwyn
    She's after a companion
    to go journeying with her,
[05:20] Gwyn
    certainly not some passing fling.
[05:23] Bennett
    I know that!
[05:25] Bennett
    And no one can stick it out by her side
     while she's gearing up to leave.

    If I lose here, I join the Underdogs tomorrow.
[06:21] Bennett
    Honestly, could you respect the rules
    of Park City any less?
[06:24] Gwyn
    Now then...
[06:26] Gwyn
    You're up, Belle!
[06:28] Gwyn
    I bet you're sick of waiting!
[06:29] Belle
    Well, yeah.
[06:41] Belle
    My body can't keep up with me.
[06:44] Belle
    I'm rustier than I thought.
[06:52] Belle
    My sword feels heavy.
[06:56] Belle
    Why do I feel so powerless?
[06:59] Adonis
    Can you?
[07:01] Adonis
    Can you cut me?
[07:03] Belle
    You bet I can!
[07:18] Belle
    I'll kill you!
[07:32] Sian
    First off, cough up all
    those swords you stole.
[07:39] Sian
    Well, I'll be.
[07:41] Sian
    No wonder you've got people out for you.
[07:45] Sian
    Okay, start by doubting even your doubts.
[07:49] Sian
    You'll find your roots in that.
[07:51] Adonis
    What?
[07:52] Sian
    I'm telling you to break every blade
    here with your hands and that sword.
[07:58] Sian
    You'll never beat my daughter
    in this sorry state.
[08:04] Adonis
    What?!
[08:10] Adonis
    M-My sword!
[08:12] Adonis
    M-M-My...
[08:18] Sian
    Don't panic, fool. Look closer.
[08:22] Sian
    That sword withers without end.
[08:25] Sian
    Don't get attached to a mere shell.
[08:30] Adonis
    Just now, I felt like the sword
    smiled at me a little.
[08:35] Sian
    Glad to hear it.
[08:37] Sian
    Now keep that spirit and come at me.
[08:49] Rusty Nail
    Nowhere...
[09:02] Bennett
    She's like a storm raging without a sound.
[09:05] Bennett
    That's not Belle.
[09:07] Bennett
    The real Belle has sunk somewhere deep below.
[09:11] Gwyn
    And she'll drown if she stays there.
[09:15] Bennett
    How can you be so calm?
[09:19] Gwyn
    Say, Bennett,
[09:20] Gwyn
    can you still see with that eye?
[09:24] Gwyn
    Barely. Why?
[09:27] Gwyn
    All mermaids act as guardian spirits
[09:30] Gwyn
    in the mental plane counterpart to our world.
[09:36] Gwyn
    That's the real reason you
    reflect the minds of others,
[09:42] Gwyn
    and why mermaids are
    always both male and female.
[09:47] Bennett
    But what can I do now?
[09:50] Bennett
    I'm a half-baked mermaid,
    stuck living out my life as a man.
[09:55] Gwyn
    I wouldn't say that.
[09:57] Gwyn
    Take this eye injury of yours.
[10:00] Gwyn
    Have you ever thought about how mermaids'
    physical wounds link to mental ones,
[10:04] Gwyn
    and to your male and female selves?
[10:10] Bennett
    Are you saying I should...
[10:13] Gwyn
    No one else can do it.
[10:16] Gwyn
    You can't tell me you don't know why 
    Belle only ever visits your place.
[10:28] Sian
    That's one sword down.
[10:31] Sian
    I'd call this a decent start.
[10:35] Sian
    Eat and sleep. We start early tomorrow.
[10:38] Sian
    Got that?
[10:44] Adonis
    I'll kill you one day...
[11:00] Adonis
    How much do you know about me?
[11:05] Dram
    I grasped everything about you
     when you turned up here.
[11:10] Adonis
    How could you make this sword
    without knowing me?
[11:15] Dram
    I merely give the future form in steel.
[11:19] Adonis
    The future?
[11:21] Dram
    Steel takes the shape of a sword—its future.
[11:26] Dram
    The sword draws in its wielder
    and seeks to assume a fitting form.
[11:32] Adonis
    Does that include Belle's Runding?
[11:38] Dram
    Take a soak in the bath before you rest.
[11:41] Dram
    I added medicine to heal your wounds.
[11:45] Dram
    If you want a lullaby,
[11:47] Dram
    I'll start telling you more tomorrow.
[11:54] Sian
    Listen to the voice of the steel!
[11:56] Adonis
    Damn it!
[11:56] Sian
    Consider that sword your soulmate!
[12:00] Sian
    Don't think of it as just a tool!
[12:07] Adonis
    Kill me.
[12:09] Adonis
    I'll take you out someday.
[12:11] Adonis
    End me while you can.
[12:13] Adonis
    Kill me!
[12:16] Sian
    "The answer to our prayers," huh?
[12:18] Adonis
    Why did you agree to instruct me?
[12:21] Sian
    Because I'm an Enola.
[12:24] Sian
    The form of my curse forces me to do so.
[12:31] (Flashback) Gaff
    I'll carry on your teachings
    for my brother as well as myself.
[12:36] (Flashback) Gaff
    So please...
[12:37] (Flashback) Sian
    Gaff.
[12:39] (Flashback) Gaff
    Meister, continue our lessons!
[12:43] Sian
    I made a mistake.
[12:46] Sian
    I became a teacher to escape
    my birth as Prince Fatal,
[12:51] Sian
    but my swordplay felt like a deception,
[12:53] Sian
    and I directed my frustrations
    at the next Prince Fatal.
[13:09] (Flashback) Sian
    This sword...
[13:12] (Flashback) Dram
    Can you read it?
[13:16] (Flashback) Sian
    "Enola."
[13:18] (Flashback) Dram
    I've been waiting for you...
[13:22] (Flashback) Dram
    for such a long, long time.
[13:27] Dram
    That was me.
[13:30] Dram
    Back when I only knew my male self,
[13:35] Dram
    I came to Park City to find
    the other side of me.
[13:39] Dram
    There, I met a man named Gibson,
[13:42] Dram
    who helped me while I
    apprenticed as a swordwright.
[13:46] Dram
    But I never awakened as a woman
    while I was living with him.
[13:53] (Flashback) Sian
    What a magnificent sword.
[13:55] (Flashback) Sian
    With skills like yours,
[13:56] (Flashback) Sian
    I hope you'll come to the castle.
[13:59] (Flashback) Dram
    There, I shall entrust the shape
    of the future to steel.
[14:12] (Flashback) Dram
    Gibson...
[14:15] (Flashback) Gibson
    Be happy.
[14:21] (Flashback) Sian
    Are you really sure about this?
[14:25] (Flashback) Dram
    I knew that I'd eventually have to betray
[14:28] (Flashback) Dram
    either the person I care for most
[14:32] (Flashback) Dram
    or the feelings that mean the most to me.
[14:50] (Flashback) Dram
    Take me with you...
[14:54] (Flashback) Dram
    to where the future I ought to shape is.
[15:00] (Flashback) Sian
    King Rawhide has given a direct order.
[15:02] (Flashback) Sian
    He wants you to carve steel
    from the divine tree
[15:06] (Flashback) Sian
    and fashion swords for the priesthood.
[15:09] (Flashback) Dram
    What future will the divine tree show?
[15:17] (Flashback) Dram
    Visions of ruin!
[15:19] (Flashback) Dram
    Sacrifice for the sake of creation!
[15:21] (Flashback) Dram
    It's rejecting me.
[15:24] (Flashback) Dram
    Who are you waiting for?!
[15:30] Sian
    Dram saw through the divine
    tree's true nature at a glance.
[15:35] Sian
    It left her no choice but to accept
    divine rule as the Princess Laideronette.
[15:42] (Flashback) Solist
    A Nidhogg has appeared!
[15:44] (Flashback) Solist
    Some solist's axe consumed his soul!
[15:47] (Flashback) Sian
    Who?! What's his name?
[15:49] (Flashback) Solist
    Gibson.
[15:51] (Flashback) Dram
    I made that sword!
[15:54] (Flashback) Dram
    You're telling me it infected Gibson's soul?!
[15:57] (Flashback) Dram
    Show me!
[15:58] (Flashback) Dram
    Let me see Gibson's sword!
[16:14] (Flashback) Dram
    It's that tree! The divine tree!
[16:17] (Flashback) Dram
    Look at how warped it's become!
[16:22] (Flashback) Dram
    The Ashes of the Tried...
[16:25] (Flashback) Dram
    They're what turned Gibson's sword into that.
[16:29] (Flashback) Dram
    You gave him the ashes?
[16:32] (Flashback) Dram
    I see.
[16:34] (Flashback) Dram
    That god's true power is erasing the future.
[16:40] (Flashback) Dram
    I've been a fool not to realize it before now.
[16:46] Sian
    After that,
[16:49] Sian
    every sword Dram wrought came out abnormal.
[16:54] Sian
    Blades no one could wield,
    spells no one understood,
[16:58] Sian
    designs that defied all comprehension...
[17:01] Sian
    About the only decent one
[17:03] Sian
    was the sword she gave to Gaff.
[17:06] Sian
    And Dram carved the spells she engraved
    on her swords into her own body.
[17:14] Dram
    That was when I started hearing the voices.
[17:18] Dram
    Despair for the present
    and endless hope for the future.
[17:22] Shadows
    Nowhere....
[17:23] Dram
    Their hunger drew me to the darkness...
[17:30] Dram
    As it did you.
[17:39] Adonis
    What exactly are you people
    trying to make me do?
[17:43] Sian
    We need someone to doubt reason.
[17:47] Adonis
    And just what is a "girl of reason," anyway?
SIGN    "The Girl of Reason"
[17:51] Sian
    The reason that exists
    all throughout this world...
[17:55] Sian
    She will demolish our ancient order
    and bring a new world into being.
[18:01] Sian
    She was also the immediate
    impetus for my own journey.
[18:06] (Flashback) Sian
    "The girl of reason"?
[18:08] Rabbitia
    One of Denari Land's greatest mysteries.
SIGN    Denari Land
[18:14] Sian
    Guided by that revelation I received,
[18:17] Sian
    I became a nomad.
[18:19] Sian
    And at the end of my long journey,
    I solved her riddle and raised her.
[18:24] Adonis
    Belle, you mean?
[18:27] Sian
    When I first laid eyes on Belle,
    I felt the urge to kill.
[18:31] Sian
    But I nevertheless resolved
    to raise the girl of reason
[18:36] Sian
    because she was waiting for me.
[18:39] Adonis
    Don't tell me the
    girl of reason is the gods'...
[18:42] Sian
    Behind her lies the true god
    who dispatched Deus Ex Machina
[18:46] Sian
    to rule the realms of paradise
    in the ancient age of gods.
[18:53] Sian
    Discover the rest for yourself,
[18:56] Sian
    unless you'd rather die here.
[19:02] Adonis
    We're basically playing at being family.
[19:05] Adonis
    Life would be so much easier if
    playing house could save anyone.
[19:09] Adonis
    You know the vision of the
    future you left in Runding?
[19:13] Adonis
    I want to see it, too.
[19:17] Dram
    I made that sword of steel yet to ripen.
[19:21] Dram
    It is forever being born.
[19:24] Dram
    I made your sword of steel rusted to nothing.
[19:28] Dram
    It is forever withering.
[19:31] Adonis
    I think I understand
[19:33] Adonis
    what you want me to do with
    this sword. To that god...
[19:38] Adonis
    and to Belle.
[19:41] Adonis
    You'd better not touch my hands.
[19:44] Dram
    Only because you define your curse that way.
[19:51] Dram
    You are the wellspring of your curse.
[19:54] Dram
    The true identity of what fills
    your world with enmity and hate.
[20:03] Adonis
    What?
[20:05] Adonis
    You're telling me it was that simple?
[20:10] Adonis
    I was born without a mother,
    so I grew up without drinking mother's milk.
[20:18] Adonis
    Without enough warmth.
[20:21] Dram
    It's all right.
[20:48] Adonis
    I've seen it.
[20:49] Sian
    Oh?
[20:51] Adonis
    I think I understand why I'm
    the one to wield this sword.
[20:58] Sian
    Come at me.
[21:29] Rusty Nail
    Nowhere...
[21:34] Sian
    The child we need.
[21:37] Adonis
    To truly doubt has no meaning!
    It doesn't even need a reason!
[21:43] Adonis
    Whatever I question with this
    sword just withers forever
[21:48] Adonis
    as the darkness of the
    future swallows it whole!
[21:54] Dram
    I give you the fangs of the
    Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
[21:59] Dram
    Child of darkness,
[22:01] Dram
    by welcoming you into its ranks, the army
    will render its own theme unshakable.
[22:33] Adonis
    Darkness turned out to be warmer than light.
[22:38] Adonis
    That's the whole of my motif.
[22:41] Rusty Nail
    Nowhere...
[22:47] Shadows
    Nowhere...
[22:55] Shadows
    Nowhere... Nowhere...
[23:09] (Flashback) Dram
    You're waiting too...
[23:13] (Flashback) Dram
    For the girl of reason...
SIGN    Tenth Movement
SIGN    Spiral: Howling Sword, Rusty Nail
[23:25] Belle
    Moonwork. "To do as the moon."
[23:27] Gwyn
    I want to risk my life!
[23:28] Bennett
    Stop it, Benedictine!
[23:30] Kitty
    May I ask you a question?
[23:31] Adonis
    ...for you to come die at my hand.
[23:33] Sherry
    I can never sing again!
[23:36] Young Belle?
    Forever in the stone.

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

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

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

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

[04:05] Belle
    Remember riding a turtle in these getups?
[04:09] Bennett
    That was the first time we met, wasn't it?
[04:14] Gwyn
    I poured all my effort into
    stifling my feelings back then.
[04:19] Gwyn
    Man, how I've changed.
[04:23] Belle
    Speaking of change...
[04:26] Belle
    I've changed a bit myself.
[04:28] Belle
    Can you tell how?
[04:29] Bennett
    Well...
[04:29] Gwyn
    What could it be?
[04:31] Belle
    I've gotten taller!
[04:33] Gwyn
    Oh?
[04:33] Bennett
    You don't say.
[04:35] Belle
    It's true!
[04:37] Belle
    The designer who tailored
    this uniform said so.
[04:40] Belle
    My bust's gotten a little bigger too!

    Oho!

    Well, well!

    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?

    You make a lovely pair.

    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

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

[00:07] Gaff
    Upon this sword, I swear to you all...
[00:09] Gaff
    I have resolved to play the leading role!
[00:12] Gaff
    Would any challenge me for the kingship?!
[00:21] Gaff
    The king and his sword have been chosen!
[00:25] Gaff
    I, too, shall dwell within this divine tree!
[00:29] Gaff
    The old king is dead!
[00:38] Gaff
    I am your king now!
[00:44] Gaff
    This is order, Belle.
[00:47] Gaff
    Order means performance,
[00:48] Gaff
    with every subject playing the role
    our god has granted them.
[00:54] Gaff
    I will play the part of king
    with all my heart.
[00:59] Gaff
    Belle...
[01:00] Gaff
    Our god has already decided how to cast you.
[01:06] Gaff
    Do not make me cut you down.
[01:12] Gaff
    As priest, I relay a divine message...
[01:16] Gaff
    The word of god!
[01:17] Gaff
    Let the newborn king do his duty.
[01:21] Gaff
    Seek out the key to journeys...
[01:25] Gaff
    Sherry!
[01:27] Gaff
    Can you not hear this divine summons?!
[01:30] Gaff
    Destroy it.
[01:32] Gaff
    The key lies in the black hour,
     in the black direction.
[01:37] Gaff
    Only one can discover it:
    the elder prince who may claim the throne.
[01:44] Gaff
    Destroy the key to journeys.
[03:12] 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.

    sage suffers, death included,

[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.

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

[00:06] 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

    The more I see, the more this

    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.

[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

    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.

    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

[14:59] Gwyn
    You'll go down in history!
[15:02] Gwyn

[15:06] Gaff
    So you've come!
[15:09] Gwyn
    We heard of your combat ban and came running,

[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

[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.

    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?

    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

[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.

    Belle Lablac!
[18:41] Solists
    Belle Lablac! The little one!
[18:44] Solists

[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.

    I'll take the fang that is you

[00:23] 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.

    It once lay within god, but now

    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

    myself and where I am.

    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.

    Especially Mist.

    Smartass!

    Prepare to set out at once!

    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.
[17:14] Sherry Song
    Freude!
[17:16] Kitty
    Blue priests of the chronicle!
[17:17] Sherry Song
    Freude!
[17:17] Belle
    They're here too?
[17:19] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[17:22] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[17:25] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,

[17:32] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[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
[18:08] Sherry Song
    An den Brüsten der Natur;
[18:12] Sherry Song
    Alle Guten, alle Bösen
[18:15] Sherry Song
    Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
[18:15] Violet Priestess
    Her Highness is singing.
[18:18] Sherry Song
    Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
[18:22] Sherry Song
    Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
[18:22] Cat-eyes 1
    I'll be!
[18:23] Cat-eyes 2
    Is the whole castle singing?
[18:25] Sherry Song
    Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
[18:28] Mist
    What's going on?
[18:28] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
[18:30] Cloud
    Huh?
[18:31] Mist
    Cloud! Your leg!
[18:32] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
    Steht vor Gott!
[18:33] Cloud
    The pain's gone.
[18:35] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
    Steht vor Gott!
[18:35] Gaff
    No one can harm my sword now!
[18:39] Gaff
    God's dying wish dwells in my blade!
[18:42] Gwyn
    Go on! Sing!
[18:43] Gwyn
    Sing our new battle!
[18:46] Gwyn
    Make this our starting point!
[18:50] Dram
    Listen, Sian.
[18:52] Dram
    I can hear it. Such a cruel song...
[18:57] Dram
    Sung with joy.
[18:58] Guidance
    The mechanized dead are racing toward you,
[19:02] Guidance
    the source of their insatiable emptiness.
[19:06] Guidance
    This is divine hunger.
[19:10] Belle
    So the priests and the Army come
    from the same thing, deep down.
[19:15] Belle
    The reason I'm here now
[19:17] Belle
    is to try my sword on you!
[19:24] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[19:27] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[19:31] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[19:34] Sherry Song
    Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[19:38] Adonis
    So this is the body recorded
    in the divine memory core.
[19:38] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:42] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:45] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[19:47] Adonis
    This is the origin of the world—
[19:49] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[19:50] Adonis
    The thing god considered
    its reason for being.
[19:53] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:56] Kitty
    I cannot die...
[19:56] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:59] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:00] Kitty
    Not until I wipe the gods' power
[20:03] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:04] Kitty
    from the world!
[20:11] Belle
    Hey.
[20:13] It
    So you've come.
[20:17] Guidance
    God's mind sought its own
    reason in its memories
[20:18] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[20:21] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[20:21] Guidance
    and manifested in that borrowed form.
[20:25] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[20:25] Belle
    What's everyone's problem?
[20:27] Belle
    Is my face that easy to fake?
[20:29] Sherry Song
    Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[20:30] It
    Precisely.
[20:32] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:32] It
    For you are the source
    of every being in this world—
[20:36] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:39] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:41] It
    The girl who caused our functions
    to initiate generations of heterogenesis.
[20:44] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:47] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:50] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:51] It
    When the girl of reason pierces the world,
[20:54] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:56] It
    we lose our very existence!
[20:57] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[21:00] Belle
    You mean me finding out
     why I'm here is going to kill you?
[21:05] It
    Yes.
[21:06] It
    We will explain the causal link.
[21:09] It
    We are a system, and that is our purpose.
[21:13] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken!
    Götterfunken!
[21:14] It
    Set foot in this space we occupy,
[21:19] It
    girl of reason!
[21:22] Belle
    Fine.
[21:23] Belle
    I'll take a ride on your sinking ship.
[21:25] Belle
    You can scheme all you like.
[21:28] Belle
    This sword will try everything
    you throw at me!
[21:46] Belle
    Where am I?

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

[00:48] Sian
    I see.
[00:51] Sian
    So the reason has been questioned.
[00:54] Belle
    Sian.
[02:24] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[02:26] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[02:31] Sian
    You remember my name?
[02:36] Belle
    Gaff told me.
[02:38] Sian
    I see.
[02:40] Sian
    Who kept my sword alive?
[02:43] Belle
    A guy named Cloud. He said someone
    asked him to when he picked it up.
[02:49] Belle
    It healed in no time.
[02:51] Belle
    He thinks it's imbued with a fundamentally
    different form of will than other swords.
[02:59] Sian
    I'm proud of you, Belle.
[03:03] Sian
    You brought aufheben to god and the people.
[03:05] Signs
    Aufheben
    Sublation
[03:07] Sian
    That only leaves asking
    the key of journeys why you're here.
[03:12] Belle
    I don't get it.
[03:14] Belle
    What's "aufheben"?
[03:17] Belle
    If you taught me, I've forgotten.
[03:21] Sian
    Listen, Belle.
[03:23] Sian
    Buds vanish when flowers bloom.
[03:26] Sian
    Flowers vanish when fruit ripens.
[03:30] Sian
    But no fruit can grow without flowers.
[03:34] Sian
    So flowers are always blooming,
    just as buds are needed.
[03:40] Sian
    They all form one path,
    trodden again and again.
[03:44] Sian
    Aufheben means the endless
    tread of moonwork like that.
[03:46] Signs
    Moonwork
    To Do as the Moon
[03:49] Sian
    It's like chasing homesickness everlasting.
[03:52] Sian
    That is the reason your
    sword's spell expresses.
[03:57] Sian
    You already know it.
[04:00] Sian
    You've been free of my yoke
    as your Enola for a long time now.
[04:10] Belle
    I know that!
[04:12] Belle
    You're a ghost.
[04:14] Belle
    I cut you down ages ago.
[04:18] Belle
    But... But still!
[04:20] Belle
    Seeing you like this doesn't seem so bad.
[04:25] Belle
    Forgetting everything and meeting again
    for the first time can be nice, you know?
[04:32] Sian
    I see.
[04:35] Sian
    In that case, why not go
    on a journey together?
[04:45] Sian
    You are my hope.
[04:47] Sian
    I make solitude my duty.
[04:50] Sian
    So to me, true hope means
    knowing I'm not alone,
[04:56] Sian
    even in the midst of the
    riddle of my own existence.
[05:00] Sian
    Aim to become neither a nomad nor a soldier
    of Insatiable Emptiness, but also both.
[05:07] Sian
    Someone who fights to exist in this world.
[05:12] Sian
    That's what I wish for.
[05:27] Sian
    I look forward to running
    into you again on your journey.
[05:36] Belle
    Bye-bye, Sian.
[05:45] Bennett
    Has he set out already?
[05:48] Belle
    Yup.
[05:49] Bennett
    Then it's your turn next, Belle.
[05:51] Belle
    Thanks.
[05:53] Belle
    But there's something I've
    got to see through first.
[05:59] Belle
    Aren't you...?
[06:00] Sandy
    Sandy Collins.
[06:02] Belle
    Adonis's brother.
[06:04] Sandy
    I now serve as high priest of Aion
     in my father's place.
[06:13] Bennett
    The swords of Tixe and Ecnes?
[06:13] Signs
    Tixe
    Escape
[06:13] Signs
    Ecnes
    Sympathy
[06:16] Bennett
    What are we here to see?
[06:19] Sandy
    A secret magical ritual to resurrect
    a sword. Call it Examination.
[06:21] Signs
    Examination
    The Magic of Testing
[06:24] Belle
    What?!
[06:26] Belle
    Don't you know what that will do?!
[06:29] Sandy
    Please, do not disturb yourselves.
[06:32] Sandy
    This is a rite of the other god, 
    which we Collinses defend.
[06:37] Belle
    What "other god"?
[06:39] Bennett
    Gwyn!
[06:40] Bennett
    What are you plotting?
[06:42] Gwyn
    Good question.
[06:43] Gwyn
    I'm not clear on that myself.
[06:45] Bennett
    You're impossible.
[06:46] Gwyn
    It's starting.
[06:47] Gwyn
    This is what I wanted to show you, Belle.
[07:13] Colonel
    Here and now,
    we have revealed our secret rite!
[07:38] Belle
    I don't believe it.
[07:41] Colonel
    Ecnetsixe is the name for all that is.
[07:41] Signs
    Ecnetsixe
    All That Is
[07:45] Colonel
    This name contains the god machine's
    feelings for the reason it existed.
[07:52] Colonel
    The feelings of Deus Ex Machina,
    which gained a mind without a body,
[07:57] Colonel
    and which, to become a god
    and rule the people,
[08:03] Colonel
    had no choice but to forbid itself
    from growing into a person.
[08:09] Belle
    Mechanical gods don't die.
[08:12] Belle
    Their existences just end,
    and they fade away like they never were.
[08:19] Colonel
    Nidhoggs, god's desire to possess
     the bodies of others and gain physical form,
[08:26] Colonel
    eventually become raven blossoms.
[08:27] Signs
    Raven Blossoms
    Avian Messengers of Death
[08:29] Bennett
    So the ravens pass on the will of the
    fallen in announcing their deaths
[08:33] Bennett
    because they were originally
    born from the divine tree?
[08:37] Colonel
    Once, when god's feelings regarding its
     purpose gave rise to self-contradictions,
[08:43] Colonel
    those feelings escaped—similar to root
    division—and grew in the Katakombe.
[08:49] Gwyn
    And that's how a god who allows its
    subjects to deal with death arose here.
[08:55] Gwyn
    But the divine tree rejected
    the budding will of personhood
[08:59] Gwyn
    and launched repeated, hate-filled
    assaults on the Katakombe.
[09:04] Colonel
    This tree filled with sympathy
    for escape from that,
[09:08] Colonel
    and became soaked in sympathy
     for its own existence in turn.
[09:13] Gwyn
    What do you plan to do with this tree?
[09:15] Colonel
    Cut it down.
[09:17] Colonel
    Then we will raise swords
    from the seedbed of its stump
[09:21] Colonel
    and divide this spell between two of them.
[09:25] Colonel
    The roots will sprout into ravens.
[09:26] Signs
    Raven Sprouts
[09:27] Colonel
    We will burn the rest,
    refining it into sacred ashes
[09:28] Signs
    Sacred Ashes
[09:31] Colonel
    to resurrect the swords
    when they break again.
[09:35] Colonel
    That is the secret law of the Katakombe
    and the way of the other god.
[09:42] Colonel
    Belle Lablac.
[09:45] Colonel
    Could I ask you to cut down this tree?
[09:49] Belle
    Me?!
[09:50] Colonel
    You. Your sword freed the
    passion of the castle's god.
[09:56] Belle
    So you'll let me try my sword on this tree?
[09:59] Belle
    It'd be my pleasure.
[10:01] Solist A
    Belle Lablac!
[10:02] Solist B
    The beastly beauty!
[10:04] Solist C
    Not even god's safe from her blade!
[10:08] Runding
    Durchbohren Sie die Welt.
[10:11] Belle
    Talk about a payoff.
[10:32] Belle
    I could cut it!
[10:40] Gwyn
    The key to journeys lies in the obsidian
    shadow of the heart of order!
[10:47] Gwyn
    That's what "the black hour
    in the black direction" means!
[10:50] Gwyn
    We need to claim it for ourselves!
[10:54] Gwyn
    The key will play a vital role
     in our struggle.
[10:59] Gwyn
    We must fight to sublate Topdogs and
    Underdogs while defending the Katakombe.
[11:06] Gwyn
    Your sword, and no one else's,
    triggered the paradise shift.
[11:12] Gwyn
    That gives me great hope.
[11:15] Belle
    Thanks.
[11:16] Gwyn
    You always cause creation
    in the midst of destruction.
[11:21] Gwyn
    What will your sword trigger
    in the key of journeys?
[11:26] Belle
    Your words give me hope, Gwyn.
[11:31] Belle
    Knowing my sword can create something
    in the middle of destruction
[11:36] Belle
    instills me with courage.
[11:39] Gwyn
    We won't leave you alone. I promise.
[11:43] Belle
    I'll swing my sword to try myself.
[11:48] Belle
    Anytime, anywhere.
[11:50] Bennett
    Belle!
[11:51] Mist
    Belle Lablac!
[11:53] Mist
    Get out here!
[11:54] Belle
    You guys!
[11:56] Belle
    What's this?
[11:58] Mist
    I figured you'd need it on your journey.

    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!
