[00:14] ---
    I could tell by your touch
    that our bond has weakened

[00:19] ---
    My heart is falling apart
[00:24] ---
    My body is wandering, wow...
[00:29] ---
    They're disappearing without
    a trace into the darkness

[00:34] ---
    Those faded feelings, so far away...
[00:38] ---
    What I'm searching for is a mirage
[00:44] ---
    "I see the future in the far distance..."
[00:47] ---
    When I look into the sky above
[00:52] ---
    The distant memories of the
    shining world call forth dreams

[00:57] ---
    The scenery I encounter in the endless night
[01:01] ---
    Doesn't even show the ending
    to those bygone days

[01:07] ---
    Even when I'm so far away from you
[01:11] ---
    The shining light will lead me to you
[01:18] ---
    And a miracle will happen
[01:47] ---
    Ah!
[01:53] ---
    How beautiful...
[02:00] ---
    General!
[02:02] ---
    What is it?
[02:03] ---
    I believe we don't have time for that.
[02:09] ---
    I may never visit this
    place again in my life.
[02:14] ---
    Now's the only time that I can
    draw a picture of this scenery.
[02:19] ---
    I'll finish it quickly, okay?
[02:24] ---
    Ah! It seems I can get a good view
    of the scenery from there, too!
[02:29] ---
    Tsk!
[02:30] ---
    Give it up. That's just how Master is.
[02:34] ---
    I know.
[02:37] ---
    Ah! Well, well... this place...
[02:40] ---
    already has a visitor.
[02:47] ---
    Hm? Oh, hello!
[02:52] ---
    "Strange Mansion"
[03:01] ---
    Yeah, these are quite good sketches.
[03:04] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:06] ---
    There are many sketches of buildings.
[03:08] ---
    I'm studying architecture
    at a university in Prague.
[03:13] ---
    I see, then that's your actual
    profession, huh? Uhm...
[03:17] ---
    My name is Alphonse Clouse.
[03:20] ---
    I'm Froi Tiedoll.
[03:23] ---
    Ah.
[03:24] ---
    And these're my fun travel
    companions, Kanda and Marie.
[03:29] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[03:34] ---
    I'm sorry. He's shy.
[03:37] ---
    Please forgive his attitude.
[03:39] ---
    O... Okay...
[03:41] ---
    Tsk.
[03:46] ---
    You said you came from Prague?
[03:49] ---
    Am I right that you came to these
    mountains to see Jan's mansion?
[03:52] ---
    Yes! You know about it?
[03:55] ---
    I've heard the rumors at least.
[03:57] ---
    What's Jan's mansion?
[04:00] ---
    There used to be a kinda
    odd man named Jan Novark
[04:03] ---
    living in the village ahead of here.
[04:07] ---
    Jan owned a general shop.
[04:09] ---
    His shop was crowded with
    many customers every day.
[04:14] ---
    But one day, he closed his shop.
[04:18] ---
    He started building a house
    by investing all his assets,
[04:23] ---
    and he built it with his own hands...
[04:25] ---
    All the villagers thought that he'd
    get bored of it and quit eventually.
[04:30] ---
    But he didn't quit.
[04:33] ---
    He kept on working intently in order
    to complete his own dream house.
[04:38] ---
    After spending 40 years working on
    it, he finally completed his house.
[04:46] ---
    That's Jan's mansion.
[04:48] ---
    I read this book as a child and was
    inspired to become an architect.
[04:53] ---
    And I've wanted to one day see the
    mansion Jan built with my own eyes.
[04:59] ---
    Stupid.
[05:00] ---
    Oh? You were listening to his story...
[05:04] ---
    Something wrong with that?
[05:06] ---
    I thought you weren't interested.
[05:08] ---
    I'm not interested.
[05:09] ---
    Jan's mansion is a piece
    of art that caused people
[05:13] ---
    to take a fresh look at architecture from
    the perspective of enjoying a house!
[05:17] ---
    His ideas, which weren't
    limited to current thinking,
[05:19] ---
    surprised architects at that time!
[05:21] ---
    His mansion is a great triumph
    of architecture that charmed
[05:23] ---
    even many artists and writers!
[05:25] ---
    That mansion is indeed a heritage
    that mankind should keep forever!
[05:28] ---
    He's exactly right... although
    I guess a cold fish like you
[05:32] ---
    wouldn't understand.
[05:35] ---
    Wh-What the heck are they?!
[05:43] ---
    Out of my way!
[06:01] ---
    Noel Organon.
[06:09] ---
    Tsk! We'll follow them, Marie!
[06:11] ---
    Yeah. General!
[06:19] ---
    Ahh... He's gone.
[06:21] ---
    Eh? Eh?!
[06:34] ---
    No one's around...
[06:48] ---
    Why...? It seems that people
    were here just moments ago.
[06:53] ---
    This is the doing of Akuma.
[06:55] ---
    Akuma? Ah! You mean the
    monsters from earlier?
[07:00] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[07:03] ---
    Looks like everyone was killed.
[07:05] ---
    What?! Oh, no...!
[07:07] ---
    I found them! They're in the east!
[07:40] ---
    Stop!
[07:42] ---
    Ah! H-hey!
[07:54] ---
    This is...
[08:00] ---
    Ah! This is indeed Jan's mansion!
[08:02] ---
    So you finally came, Exorcists.
[08:06] ---
    Since you made us wait so long, we
    ended up killing all the villagers.
[08:11] ---
    Now, come inside. Let's have fun.
[08:18] ---
    They think they're inviting us?
[08:21] ---
    How dare they mock us?!
[08:22] ---
    Wait! This could be a trap.
[08:24] ---
    I don't care! I'll destroy the Akuma!
[08:27] ---
    Oh, boy... I guess we have no choice.
[08:32] ---
    We'll go in for a while,
[08:34] ---
    since we can't let those Akuma have
    things their way in this house.
[08:39] ---
    B-But...
[08:40] ---
    We'll be fine.
[08:42] ---
    So you go back.
[08:45] ---
    What?
[08:46] ---
    You saw it, right? This
    isn't a place for you.
[08:53] ---
    Okay...
[08:57] ---
    Uhm...
[08:58] ---
    Hm?
[08:59] ---
    Please... protect the mansion...
[09:03] ---
    Yeah.
[09:16] ---
    Dead end?
[09:18] ---
    Hmmm, maybe this is it?
[09:22] ---
    Ah! Whoa!
[09:28] ---
    You don't have to be that cautious
    since our enemies haven't appeared yet.
[09:33] ---
    You heard what Clouse said, right?
[09:36] ---
    This is a building to have fun.
[09:39] ---
    This is the mansion that Jan poured
    the whole of his playfulness into.
[09:49] ---
    The doors and floors in here aren't simple.
[10:00] ---
    Whoa! This is convenient!
[10:02] ---
    Switch-on! Master!
[10:09] ---
    Well, this is very peculiar.
[10:11] ---
    It's more fun than I thought.
[10:19] ---
    General, you shouldn't
    touch things so carelessly.
[10:22] ---
    Huh? Did you say something?
[10:32] ---
    All right, they're going at it.
[10:35] ---
    Things are going as we planned.
[10:37] ---
    But no matter how many Level 1 Akuma we have,
[10:40] ---
    they can't kill those guys.
[10:41] ---
    But that's fine, right?
[10:44] ---
    Yeah, as long as they lure
    those guys into this room.
[10:48] ---
    I see.
[10:49] ---
    This place is an ideal
    battlefield for us, so...
[11:02] ---
    Are you guys done? Then let's go on.
[11:08] ---
    Huh?
[11:08] ---
    I'll do it.
[11:14] ---
    Your way of thinking is inflexible as always.
[11:18] ---
    You assume that when it comes to
    doors, you either push or pull.
[11:22] ---
    This one is...
[11:25] ---
    See? It opened! You should
    think more flexibly.
[11:30] ---
    General!
[11:31] ---
    Huh?
[11:33] ---
    Oh...
[12:11] ---
    Welcome, Exorcists!
[12:19] ---
    So we finally face each other.
[12:22] ---
    You seem to be relaxed, General Tiedoll.
[12:25] ---
    Oh, you know me?
[12:28] ---
    Of course, as we came to take
    the Innocence you're carrying.
[12:33] ---
    I'm really sorry, but I
    can't let that happen.
[12:37] ---
    I see. Then we'll take them away by force.
[12:42] ---
    Before that, why don't we set the stage?
[12:50] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[12:52] ---
    You!
[12:53] ---
    By set the stage... you mean him?
[12:56] ---
    No! He just came in on his own.
[12:59] ---
    Just wait and see.
[13:00] ---
    The stage for the battle
    will be complete soon!
[13:03] ---
    I'm sorry. I just couldn't help worrying...
[13:06] ---
    Then, suddenly, a hole appeared
    in the hallway floor.
[13:09] ---
    Well, what can we do? You're here now.
[13:13] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:15] ---
    This is it! This is indeed
    the stage for a battle!
[13:19] ---
    And it'll be your graveyard!
[13:22] ---
    This is the room that changes its shape!
[13:25] ---
    This is the room that has the
    grandest devices in this mansion!
[13:28] ---
    This is really an interesting mansion.
[13:31] ---
    You think so, too?
[13:34] ---
    Sounds like we can get along.
[13:36] ---
    Please stop it. Getting along with
    an Akuma wouldn't make me happy.
[13:40] ---
    Oh, really? That's unfortunate!
[13:46] ---
    General, please stay back!
[13:48] ---
    You don't have to tell me.
    I'll leave them to you.
[13:51] ---
    Innocence, activate!
[14:04] ---
    What do you think?!
[14:05] ---
    Don't you think I've got a cool body?
[14:12] ---
    I see... This is troublesome.
[14:15] ---
    Kanda! Move!
[14:19] ---
    That's useless!
[14:23] ---
    Marie!
[14:25] ---
    See?! Isn't it fun? There's more fun to come!
[14:47] ---
    Now, I wonder how long you'll last!
[14:56] ---
    What's the matter? You've already given up?!
[14:59] ---
    I found you!
[15:06] ---
    So the face is your weak point.
[15:19] ---
    It's hard to fight!
[15:35] ---
    Stop it... Please stop it!
[15:38] ---
    Please don't destroy the building!
[15:41] ---
    This is... Jan's mansion was
    the inspiration for my dream!
[15:45] ---
    If you don't wanna die, stay put right there!
[15:49] ---
    Netherworld Creature "Ichigen"!
[16:01] ---
    Whoa...
[16:08] ---
    Now there's no place for you to hide.
[16:10] ---
    Well, well...
[16:12] ---
    You put on quite a show, didn't you?
[16:14] ---
    But it seems that you
    destroyed a little too much.
[16:39] ---
    Amazing...
[16:41] ---
    The mansion's control center...!
[16:44] ---
    Go ahead, fall and get
    crushed by those gears!
[16:58] ---
    Geez...
[17:00] ---
    To think that you destroyed things
    in a way that the floor would fall...
[17:03] ---
    You still have a long way to go.
[17:07] ---
    Clouse, you risked your life
    to come to see Jan's mansion.
[17:12] ---
    Sear it into your eyes.
[17:14] ---
    What...? Yes...
[17:18] ---
    Maker of Eden! Activate!
[17:22] ---
    What's he gonna do?
[17:24] ---
    Art!
[17:38] ---
    Wh-What the...?!
[17:44] ---
    It's... It's collapsing!
[18:16] ---
    I told you, didn't I...?
[18:19] ---
    That you should think flexible.
[18:22] ---
    If you want them to be unable to
    hide, you need to go this far.
[18:26] ---
    See? They're up there. Up!
[18:31] ---
    Hurry up and take care of them.
[18:57] ---
    To think that we lost such
    a wonderful building...
[19:02] ---
    How sad...
[19:04] ---
    He did it himself... He
    doesn't make much sense...
[19:08] ---
    It's just like Master, though.
[19:16] ---
    To tell you the truth... my father fell sick.
[19:20] ---
    Hm?
[19:21] ---
    So I couldn't continue to
    study architecture any longer.
[19:26] ---
    I decided to give up my affection
    towards architecture.
[19:29] ---
    I thought I'd give up my dream
    after seeing Jan's mansion.
[19:34] ---
    But...!
[19:37] ---
    Tiedoll-san! I've decided!
[19:40] ---
    I'll continue to study architecture.
[19:45] ---
    Ideas have started popping into
    my mind one after another...
[19:48] ---
    like, "What kind of house would I build
    if I were to build a new house here?"
[19:53] ---
    Now that Jan's mansion is gone,
    I've noticed for the first time...
[19:57] ---
    that I have to create a
    building that surpasses it!
[20:02] ---
    Ah... I see...
[20:08] ---
    Hey, I wonder if Master destroyed the
    mansion knowing this would happen.
[20:20] ---
    I don't care.
[20:32] ---
    I go out for a bit to buy some
    snacks, and this happens?
[20:40] ---
    I wonder if they like sweets.
[20:52] ---
    What's the matter?
[20:54] ---
    Nothing.
[21:17] ---
    I had a dream, a scary dream
[21:22] ---
    My heart froze as I watched you leaving me
[21:28] ---
    That warmth must still exist,
[21:34] ---
    so I went looking for it one more time
[21:45] ---
    So stay by my side,
[21:48] ---
    and tell me it'll be forever
[21:50] ---
    until the demon's voices are drowned out
[21:56] ---
    I quietly check,
[21:59] ---
    so that I don't lose you
[22:02] ---
    Even if my precious memories become mistakes,
[22:07] ---
    they're beautiful for some reason
[22:33] ---
    "Preview"
[22:35] ---
    While we're crossing the mountains
    in order to join our friends,

[22:37] ---
    whom we got separated from,
[22:40] ---
    we're struck by a heavy snowstorm.
[22:43] ---
    On the next episode of D.Gray-man!
[22:46] ---
    "Illusions in the Snow."
[22:49] ---
    Bring salvation to this poor Akuma's soul!
[22:52] ---
