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