[00:07] Guidance
    Funeral rain.
[00:08] Guidance
    It falls as a ritual to cleanse the
    signs of battle in the Katakombe.
[00:14] Guidance
    Guided by the music of the weather players,
SIGN    Weather Players
[00:17] Guidance
    it absolves all blood and all grudges.
[00:27] Belle
    You're hurt.
[00:30] Gaff
    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.
[01:06] Belle
    Your sword's the last one
    I'd ever want to die by.
[01:10] Gaff
    As nobility of the castle,
    I was born into this fate.
SIGN    Nobility
[01:14] Belle
    I think I'm done crossing swords for today.
SIGN    Bye Bye, Earth
SIGN    Bye Bye, Earth
[03:02] Belle
    Sorry.
[03:03] Belle
    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.
[04:56] Guidance
    Funeral rain is effected through
    a chorus of united musicians
[05:02] Guidance
    and the castle's lead vocalist,
[05:06] Guidance
    who harmonizes with all things
    in heaven and earth.
SIGN    Lead Vocalist
[05:10] Belle
    Don't tell me you're...
[05:13] Sherry
    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.
SIGN    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...
[23:13] Belle
    You understand, right, Sherry?
[23:16] Sherry
    Thank you, Belle.
