[00:07] Gaff
    Upon this sword, I swear to you all...
[00:09] Gaff
    I have resolved to play the leading role!
[00:12] Gaff
    Would any challenge me for the kingship?!
[00:21] Gaff
    The king and his sword have been chosen!
[00:25] Gaff
    I, too, shall dwell within this divine tree!
[00:29] Gaff
    The old king is dead!
[00:38] Gaff
    I am your king now!
[00:44] Gaff
    This is order, Belle.
[00:47] Gaff
    Order means performance,
[00:48] Gaff
    with every subject playing the role
    our god has granted them.
[00:54] Gaff
    I will play the part of king
    with all my heart.
[00:59] Gaff
    Belle...
[01:00] Gaff
    Our god has already decided how to cast you.
[01:06] Gaff
    Do not make me cut you down.
[01:12] Gaff
    As priest, I relay a divine message...
[01:16] Gaff
    The word of god!
[01:17] Gaff
    Let the newborn king do his duty.
[01:21] Gaff
    Seek out the key to journeys...
[01:25] Gaff
    Sherry!
[01:27] Gaff
    Can you not hear this divine summons?!
[01:30] Gaff
    Destroy it.
[01:32] Gaff
    The key lies in the black hour,
     in the black direction.
[01:37] Gaff
    Only one can discover it:
    the elder prince who may claim the throne.
[01:44] Gaff
    Destroy the key to journeys.
[03:12] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[03:14] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[03:35] Belle
    Adonis.
[03:36] Adonis
    You cling to your sword's shell,
     afraid to let it go.
[03:40] Adonis
    That tells me all I need to know.
[03:44] Belle
    What are you doing here?
[03:50] Belle
    Don't touch me!
[03:52] Belle
    I'm not dead yet, and neither is Runding!
[03:56] Adonis
    It will wither away eventually.
[04:00] Adonis
    Release the power from its shell.
[04:06] Belle
    Sacred ashes?
[04:08] Belle
    No...
[04:09] Belle
    The kind for keeping swords alive.
[04:11] Adonis
    The Ashes of the Tried.
[04:17] Belle
    What's your game, Adonis?!
[04:19] Belle
    Why did you bring me this crap?!
[04:21] Belle
    You... Damn it.
[04:23] Adonis
    I'm waiting for you.
[04:33] Gaff
    You still haven't found it?!
[04:35] Yellow Priest
    I beg Your Majesty's pardon.
[04:37] Gaff
    Assign every priest not serving
    with the solists to this mission!
[04:42] Yellow Priest
    At once!
[04:45] Gaff
    The black hour in the black direction...
[04:48] Gaff
    We live in this castle.
    How could it elude us so utterly?
[04:52] Gaff
    And what will I do once I've found it?
[04:55] Gaff
    Will I smash the key to journeys?
[04:57] Gaff
    To what end?
[05:01] Gaff
    Adonis.
[05:02] Gaff
    You've recovered already?
[05:04] Adonis
    I'm still at half strength.
[05:05] Gaff
    I'm sorry I left Belle entirely to you.
[05:09] Gaff
    An unpleasant role, I'm sure.
[05:10] Adonis
    Listen, Gaff,
[05:12] Adonis
    would you bring that sword from the
    Katakombe to the king's funeral?
[05:16] Gaff
    Oh?
[05:17] Adonis
    I'll agree to be your
    brother prince if you do.
[05:20] Gaff
    Will you return the swords, then?
    All the swords you've taken?
[05:26] Adonis
    I won't rule it out.
[05:27] Adonis
    Besides, the funeral will be my last
    chance to doubt this land.
[05:31] Signs
    Doubt
[05:33] Gaff
    Don't tell me you believe I'd allow that.
[05:37] Adonis
    I'll take on your doubts,
[05:40] Adonis
    the dark side of order.
[05:43] Adonis
    You can breathe easy and bask in
    the glory of the bright side.
[06:00] Adonis
    So you don't rot, huh?
[06:08] Adonis
    You must be exhausted, singing songs of
    restoration day after day, Princess Sherry.
[06:13] Sherry
    Why did you fight Belle?
[06:17] Adonis
    If someone has to throw Belle in jail,
     I'll be the one to do it.
[06:23] Sherry
    Why must you and Belle fight one another?
[06:31] Adonis
    You remind me of me.
[06:33] Sherry
    Don't change the subject!
[06:35] Sherry
    Have you ever considered how she feels?
[06:41] Adonis
    I just can't stop...
[06:43] Sherry
    Why do you laugh?!
[06:45] Adonis
    Sorry. This is just how I am.
[06:49] Sherry
    Do you... regret fighting Belle?
[06:55] Adonis
    I'd feel better if I did.
    If I could cry over it.
[07:01] Adonis
    You're just taking your
    doubts about god out on me.
[07:06] Adonis
    I was obeying the divine summons
    you relayed when I fought Belle.
[07:12] Sherry
    Not another word!
[07:13] Sherry
    I no longer wish to speak with you.
[07:19] Adonis
    Sherry, I'd like you to share
     your doubts with me.
[07:23] Sherry
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[07:25] Adonis
    You doubt this land so much
    that you wish it would just fall apart.
[07:30] Sherry
    Don't be absurd!
[07:32] Adonis
    I'll take on the dark side of order!
[07:33] Sherry
    Unhand me!
[07:36] Sherry
    Are you saying you would sacrifice yourself?
[07:41] Adonis
    I'm just doing my job.
[07:44] Sherry
    You mean like how you had to fight Belle?
[07:50] Adonis
    That's right.
[07:52] Sherry
    I... doubt that our god
    truly loves the people.
[07:59] Sherry
    I believed that maintaining
    preestablished harmony
[08:03] Sherry
    brought the people happiness
    because god loves us.
[08:07] Sherry
    But I sense no love in imprisoning
    Belle and her friends.
[08:15] Sherry
    Or in any other order I've relayed!
[08:19] Adonis
    You're the only one in the
    castle who hears god speak,
[08:23] Adonis
    but that doesn't mean god loves you most.
[08:28] Adonis
    That's what you suspect, isn't it?
[08:32] Adonis
    But as princess, you can't ever tell a soul.
[08:36] Adonis
    Must be hard.
[08:38] Adonis
    I'll take on your doubts and put
    everyone's questions to god myself.
[08:45] Adonis
    I need a favor from you,
    our lead vocalist.
[08:48] Adonis
    Please, give me a chance
    to find out why I'm here.
[08:57] Sherry
    I will.
[09:08] Rawhide
    Behold black.
[09:11] Rawhide
    The color black maps
    to no direction, no hour.
[09:18] Rawhide
    Yet it is also the color to which all
    directions and all hours return.
[09:25] Rawhide
    Black lies at the end of every return,
[09:29] Rawhide
    signifying endings and
    beginnings in equal measure.
[09:43] Gwyn
    Wait!
[09:44] Rawhide
    Only kings know the ritual and can grasp
    the black direction and black hour.
[09:52] Gwyn
    Why?
[09:53] Gwyn
    Why does it have to be me?!
[09:56] Rawhide
    Black is our god's blind spot.
[10:01] Rawhide
    Uncover the key.
[10:05] Rawhide
    Before god aims to destroy
    what it cannot see...
[10:12] Rawhide
    new-minted king.
[10:16] Gwyn
    Why me?
[10:18] Gwyn
    King Rawhide!
[10:26] Gwyn
    Oh, just a prison cell...
[10:38] Gwyn
    Hey.
[10:39] Gwyn
    That sure went about as we
    expected, huh, Bennett?
[10:42] Bennett
    Well, well. Look who finally woke up.
[10:45] Bennett
    I don't suppose I need to fill you in?
[10:47] Gwyn
    Did making contact go according to plan?
[10:49] Bennett
    More or less.
[10:50] Bennett
    But wouldn't it be risky
    to gather the solists now?
[10:55] Gwyn
    If worse comes to worst,
    we'll reach out to Mist and—
[11:12] Bennett
    What's wrong, Gwyn?
[11:15] Gwyn
    Nothing.
[11:20] Gwyn
    How funny...
[11:26] Gwyn
    He made himself at home in my arm.
[11:32] Gwyn
    I don't believe it.
[11:34] Bennett
    Come again?
[11:35] Gwyn
    As far as Park City is concerned,
    we might as well not exist right now.
[11:39] Gwyn
    This prison is another one
    of god's blind spots.
[11:42] Bennett
    What in the world are you on about?
[11:42] Gwyn
    What we think of as "god" is
    probably the oldest of all spells,
[11:44] Bennett
    Gwyn, you're giving me the creeps.
[11:47] Bennett
    Who are you talking to?
[11:47] Gwyn
    passed down since the age of legends.
[11:50] Gwyn
    But in our immaturity, we trapped the magic
    we call god in the gears of a machine.
[11:57] Gwyn
    Our job is to free god from
    the yoke of existence.
[12:03] Gwyn
    Then, someday, the time will come when
    we relinquish all rights to own god!
[12:10] Bennett
    Gwyn, if you lose your mind,
[12:14] Bennett
    what happens to me?
[12:20] Bennett
    Belle...
[12:22] Bennett
    You won't accept this.
[12:25] Bennett
    You'll escape this place without
    using anyone's help again.
[12:32] Bennett
    Belle,
[12:33] Bennett
    this will be a parting of the ways.
[12:35] Bennett
    Yours and ours.
[12:45] Gaff
    Kings of the past
[12:47] Gaff
    and heroes whose spirits dwell
    in the world within our god,
[12:52] Gaff
    pardon my breach of etiquette
    in addressing you.
[12:57] Gaff
    I have no choice now
    but to ask you directly.
[13:04] Gaff
    For what purpose did our god command me
    to take this sword from the Katakombe?
[13:10] Gaff
    May I entrust it to my brother prince to-be?
[13:14] Gaff
    To a man born of the Katakombe?
[13:17] Gaff
    And what is the key?
[13:20] Gaff
    Where may I find it?
[13:22] Sian
    I can't blame you for not knowing.
[13:26] Gaff
    Sian!
[13:29] Sian
    It's been a long time, Gaff.
[13:32] Gaff
    I knew you had to be alive.
[13:35] Sian
    So you finally heard god speak, eh?
[13:38] Sian
    But a king's meant to do more than
    blindly follow divine orders.
[13:43] Gaff
    Sian!
[13:44] Gaff
    He who is most a slave to our god has
    the right to reign over the people!
[13:50] Gaff
    You taught me that yourself!
[13:52] Sian
    Why does the word of god
    mean so much to you?
[13:55] Gaff
    I...
[13:56] Gaff
    I'd never heard our god speak before.
[14:01] Gaff
    I'd never so much as felt
    god's presence clearly!
[14:05] Gaff
    Without that, what was I born and raised
    as a noble in this castle for?!
[14:10] Gaff
    But I'm different now!
[14:12] Gaff
    I've gained the right to become a true king!
[14:16] Gaff
    Hearing god at last qualifies me!
[14:19] Sian
    Child,
[14:20] Sian
    I now release you from the
    fetters of my teachings.
[14:25] Gaff
    Stop.
[14:26] Sian
    The sword of another will cut the chains
    of fate that bind you in my stead.
[14:33] Sian
    Most of your people no longer hear their
    god speak even once in their lives.
[14:38] Sian
    Think carefully on that.
[14:41] Sian
    You're a king.
[14:44] Sian
    Farewell, Gaff.
[14:50] Gaff
    I... am king.
[15:03] Sian
    Oh, great. I didn't make it out in time.
[15:08] Kitty
    You told me to cage the bird
    without letting it sing.
[15:14] Kitty
    That there was no other way
     to calm the strife in my homeland.
[15:19] Kitty
    But on the other hand, that gave the Rabbitia
    a new ambition: to rule the world.
[15:26] Sian
    Lamenting your fate is practically
    a privilege of personhood, prince.
[15:32] Kitty
    Nonsense!
[15:33] Kitty
    What I've suffered amounts to death!
[15:35] Kitty
    I've finally accepted that you're
    a snake bent on harming the bird!
[15:40] Kitty
    The Discerning Eye that governs me
     has deemed you dangerous.
[15:45] Kitty
    At long last, I've been entrusted with
    the true secret of opening this watch.
[15:50] Kitty
    All has gone according to your plan...
[15:53] Kitty
    And I couldn't be more furious!
[15:55] Sian
    Whatever. Give me your best shot.
[15:58] Kitty
    You'd make me obliterate
    you with my own hands?
[16:02] Kitty
    The same burden you always
     foist on your pupils?
[16:06] Kitty
    Then so be it!
[16:08] Kitty
    I was your student in Denari Land.
[16:13] Kitty
    Wings of the Sun!
[16:16] Kitty
    In my hand, I raise a bowl
    to receive your radiant blood!
[16:21] Kitty
    God who has roamed the
    heavens since antiquity,
[16:24] Kitty
    governing the sun's bright heat,
[16:27] Kitty
    shed a drop of your divine
    fire here and now!
[16:32] Kitty
    Only the girl of reason can succeed!
[16:35] Kitty
    Only she can wipe fruitless strife and
    stagnation from my land and the world!
[16:43] Kitty
    I hang my hopes on Belle,
[16:45] Kitty
    to ensure all divine power is lost forever
[16:49] Kitty
    and quell strife at its very root!
[16:59] Kitty
    Behold a legacy of the gods
    of old, the Electhor!
[17:10] Kitty
    Can you break the might of the gods?
[17:13] Kitty
    You, who's left everything
    to the girl of reason?
[17:16] Sian
    It's all the same.
[17:18] Kitty
    What?
[17:19] Sian
    You will the gods' destruction
    while wielding their power,
[17:28] Sian
    just as I endanger the girl of reason.
[17:31] Kitty
    Why are you so dead set on treachery?
[17:36] Sian
    God, the people, and reason
[17:38] Sian
    all must be fundamentally refuted 
    before we can achieve true aufheben!
[17:44] Kitty
    Then I will brandish my power to affirm
    my beloved through and through!
[18:13] Adonis
    I felt it, the sword you made for Sian...
[18:17] Adonis
    I don't know who he's fighting.
[18:18] Dram
    The Rabbitia. You fought him once yourself.
[18:22] Adonis
    I thought I killed him.
[18:24] Dram
    His nomad's curse.
[18:26] Dram
    He's been split into two identities.

    sage suffers, death included,

[18:36] Dram
    the daytime fool will return his
    suffering to the one who dealt it.
[18:41] Adonis
    What could make him take
    on a curse like that?
[18:45] Dram
    He's like us.
[18:47] Dram
    He wants the gods to fall,
[18:51] Dram
    but he can never cause their ruin himself.
[18:56] Adonis
    So he's counting on Belle?
[18:59] Adonis
    When Runding overcomes
    the Ashes of the Tried,
[19:02] Adonis
    I'll cross swords with Belle.
[19:06] Adonis
    That will be my last chance to touch her.
[19:09] Dram
    Are you crying?
[19:12] Adonis
    I don't think I can. It just hurts.
[19:15] Adonis
    Death is coming.
[19:18] Adonis
    I'm struck by the feeling that
    something deep inside me died.
[19:25] Adonis
    Sian's fine.
[19:28] Dram
    Don't worry about him.
[19:29] Dram
    Power tied to a god was used
    against a sword I wrought.
[19:35] Adonis
    Dram, I'll give you a present...
[19:38] Adonis
    Sian's lifeless corpse when I beat him.
[19:43] Adonis
    You'll be together forever.
[19:53] Belle
    Dumb bastard...
[19:55] Belle
    What else can I do?
[19:58] Belle
    This might save you.
[20:00] Belle
    You'd die.
[20:02] Belle
    You'd die if I just left you like that.
[20:05] Belle
    I won't end up like Kir.
[20:08] Belle
    As long as you're alive, I'll be fine.
[20:12] Belle
    We'll be...
[20:14] Belle
    We'll be together, right?
[20:19] Belle
    Damn it!
[20:21] Belle
    Runding!
[20:41] Runding
    Grant me my proper station.
[20:45] Runding
    Grant it to me. My proper station.
[20:50] Runding
    Within you.

[20:57] Belle
    You dumb bastard...
[20:59] Belle
    What do you expect me to do?
[21:36] Adonis
    I don't believe it...
[21:38] Adonis
    So reason does nothing
    but pierce god's shadow?
[21:43] Adonis
    I haven't pierced more than
    god's shadow yet myself.
[21:47] Adonis
    But that's not enough anymore.
[21:50] Adonis
    You only have yourself
    to blame for swallowing me.
