[00:01] ---
Tonight is the opening curtain,
[00:05] ---
premiering the holy story written
by a girl with the divine pen.
[00:11] ---
The brief heat haze shows humans
on the verge of life and death.
[00:17] ---
Is it an unfading hope, or an unescapable
despair that meets their eyes?
[00:26] ---
What story are you writing, Shakespeare?
[00:30] ---
Um, a king of a kingdom is loved
so much, that it turns into hate.
[00:36] ---
It's the truth in reality.
[00:37] ---
I get it. Humans continue to live,
asking themselves what love is;
[00:45] ---
There's nothing more pathetic
and beautiful than that.
[00:48] ---
Oh! The king is consumed by love,
but he gets something great in return.
[00:55] ---
Oh? What would that be?
[00:58] ---
Eternity.
[01:02] ---
Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[01:05] ---
I'm going to open the gate.
[01:07] ---
Living up to the forgotten ideals,
[01:10] ---
you put on a grin.
That's what I want to see.
[01:22] ---
Lately, my vision is pretty blurry,
and I'm repeating my same old routine.
[01:27] ---
I learned a line that's out of my character,
but I can't say it out loud.
[01:32] ---
Being asked "How are ya doing?"
makes me feel weird.
[01:37] ---
But I've been acting tough for a
while, so I guess it's OK.
[01:43] ---
The real me behind my masks
says with a tearful face:
[01:48] ---
"I want you to thrill
my untainted self some more."
[01:53] ---
Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[01:56] ---
I'm going to open the gate.
[01:58] ---
Basically, I am that forgotten ideal.
[02:03] ---
Hey, move those eyes!
[02:06] ---
If the gate is opened,
[02:08] ---
someone will laugh at that
which they've never seen before.
[02:13] ---
Even the cliché dreams,
[02:16] ---
and myself crying beyond them...
[02:19] ---
I want to sing about them!
[02:37] ---
What's going on?!
[02:38] ---
I don't know! Better yet, where are we?!
[02:44] ---
Aw, I feel sorry that you're in a panic.
[02:47] ---
Who is it?! Show yourself!
[02:50] ---
I'm looking forward to this even more.
[02:54] ---
Loki!
[03:05] ---
The whole cast is here.
[03:07] ---
All that's missing is to
show them a sweet dream
[03:10] ---
with the story you'll write,
and it'll be perfect.
[03:15] ---
Okay!
[03:18] ---
After that, despair is the
only thing that waits.
[03:23] ---
"The Divine Play"
[03:25] ---
Oww...
[03:28] ---
What is this? Midori? Aoto?
[03:35] ---
W-What?
[03:41] ---
The greatest test stands
in way of the children:
[03:45] ---
A drama playing their sweet pipe dream.
[03:49] ---
A labyrinth, where returning to reality
[03:53] ---
or losing themselves
in a dream, is up to them.
[03:57] ---
It's show time.
[04:05] ---
Loki! This is enough!
[04:08] ---
I don't know what kind of
a charade this is, but I'm out.
[04:14] ---
Huh?
[04:23] ---
I half want to leave them be and enjoy this,
[04:26] ---
but you have a wonderful line
ready for them, right?
[04:30] ---
Of course! But, before that--
[04:38] ---
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
[04:46] ---
"Hamlet"
[04:53] ---
I shall merely play my part.
[04:57] ---
"Macbeth"
[05:05] ---
My task is your destruction.
[05:09] ---
"Othello"
[05:13] ---
Who is this guy?
[05:17] ---
Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello.
[05:19] ---
They're the star actors
in our theatrical group.
[05:22] ---
It'll be a masterpiece for sure!
[05:25] ---
Listen, your masterpiece is great and all,
[05:31] ---
but I'd like a story that everybody
knows and yet has a surprising twist.
[05:34] ---
Ugh, you sure have lots of requests.
[05:38] ---
But, okay! I am a professional, after all.
[05:46] ---
What?!
[05:47] ---
Huh? What's going on?
[05:54] ---
Once upon a time, there was
a girl with a blazing heart.
[06:02] ---
Her name was Akane.
[06:05] ---
Huh...? What?!
[06:09] ---
Then there's Midori, who attempted
to assassinate a tyrant, but failed,
[06:15] ---
resulting in her imprisonment.
[06:17] ---
What is this?!
[06:21] ---
Okay, I'll make it easy to follow,
like you've requested.
[06:24] ---
The ill-fated handsome boy, Aoto,
identifies his doom with the last leaf.
[06:30] ---
His ever-so-empty eyes
overflow with tears of sadness.
[06:36] ---
On the other hand, Akane lived a
peaceful life with a father she loved.
[06:42] ---
However, one day...
[06:45] ---
Father will be back soon!
Oh, I cannot wait!
[06:51] ---
My mouth moves on its own.
And what is up with this dress?!
[06:58] ---
Stop laughing, dammit! This is ridiculous!
[07:04] ---
Father?
[07:06] ---
Who the hell?
[07:08] ---
I'm sorry for always making you feel lonely.
[07:11] ---
But that ends today. Let me
introduce you to your new family.
[07:21] ---
Seriously?
[07:24] ---
Oh, my.
[07:27] ---
That other dress was bad enough,
but what is up with this?
[07:31] ---
A-A-Achoo!
[07:34] ---
Huh?
[07:38] ---
D-Damn these guys!
I'm gonna make them pay!
[07:44] ---
Good, it's getting interesting.
[07:48] ---
Right? I can't stop writing!
[07:52] ---
Back to Midori. She's still imprisoned
as her execution day draws near.
[07:58] ---
Hello?
[08:00] ---
And Aoto still suffers from his sickness.
[08:08] ---
Then one day, a letter of
invitation changes Akane's fate.
[08:17] ---
The prince is giving a ball
to find his bride?
[08:20] ---
Akane gets excited,
but suddenly hangs her head.
[08:27] ---
And then she yells!
[08:30] ---
A ragged girl like me
can't go to a fancy ball!
[08:35] ---
A dusty attic is fitting for
an ugly girl such as me.
[08:41] ---
What's with these lines?!
[08:43] ---
But then, in front of poor Akane appears...
[08:50] ---
Let me grant you your wish.
[08:55] ---
Who are you?
[08:58] ---
I am a wizard!
[09:00] ---
This part is boring.
[09:02] ---
Oh, you don't like wizards?
[09:05] ---
I know one, but he's as dull as they come.
[09:11] ---
Then what should I do?
[09:14] ---
Oh... What?
[09:18] ---
We need to get out of here.
[09:20] ---
Huh?
[09:22] ---
It's been a while, Akane.
[09:25] ---
D-Dad?!
[09:28] ---
Now what?!
[09:30] ---
Anyway, the ball at the castle begins.
[09:40] ---
Princess, please waltz with me.
[09:43] ---
Huh?
[09:51] ---
Hey...
[09:53] ---
It's me.
[09:55] ---
Now, the imprisoned Midori
[09:58] ---
promises her best friend that she'd
return by sundown of the third day
[10:01] ---
and she heads to her hometown.
[10:04] ---
Midori runs, over the hills
and across the valley.
[10:07] ---
Is it the unwavering faith that
motivates Midori? Or is it...
[10:13] ---
This is boring, too. It's unbearable.
[10:17] ---
What?!
[10:18] ---
She's just running.
[10:20] ---
Well, what do you want me to do?
[10:25] ---
Ah!
[10:28] ---
Hey.
[10:31] ---
The play stopped. Now's our chance.
Let's go, Akane!
[10:37] ---
Huh? They're escaping!
[10:38] ---
That's great. Plays are interesting
because they sometimes go off script.
[10:44] ---
Improv is the theatrical spice.
[10:47] ---
But what will you do from here on?
[10:50] ---
It'll be the highlight of the show.
[10:52] ---
A special play that only
our actors can do!
[10:57] ---
Akane in Othello's arms,
Midori in Macbeth's,
[11:02] ---
and Aoto holding Hamlet's hand, they all die.
[11:07] ---
Great! I was counting on a crazy story
like that. I'm completely on board.
[11:21] ---
When the last leaf falls, I must go, too.
[11:25] ---
Please don't say something so sad.
[11:29] ---
Sad or not, fate is fate.
You cannot change it.
[11:33] ---
Wow, he's good. Especially his facial expression.
[11:36] ---
Right? He's a pretty boy
no matter what he's doing.
[11:46] ---
Big brother, what's wrong? Brother!
[12:01] ---
Loki can't reach us here. We're good now.
[12:13] ---
You throw a mean punch.
You've grown so much.
[12:18] ---
Why?! Why did you fake your death?!
[12:22] ---
When mom and I heard you died, we...
[12:34] ---
Damn you!
[12:37] ---
Akane...
[12:44] ---
Midori.
[12:52] ---
Ah... This is...
[13:00] ---
Huh?! Are you Elena?!
[13:11] ---
Brother, you should go back to bed.
[13:14] ---
Yeah...
[13:19] ---
Long time no see, big brother.
[13:24] ---
That day, I had to disappear
for the greater good.
[13:28] ---
But I still regret leaving you behind.
[13:40] ---
Ready?
[13:41] ---
Yeah!
[13:44] ---
Whoa!
[13:50] ---
--Ready?
--All right!
[13:54] ---
You wanna?
[13:56] ---
Play catch?
[14:04] ---
Please wait, Elena!
[14:07] ---
Ah!
[14:13] ---
Jeez. See? You need me, Midori.
[14:19] ---
Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.
[14:24] ---
I'm sorry, you must have
felt lonely. I'm sorry.
[14:30] ---
Elena...
[14:34] ---
I'm sorry, Midori. I am.
[14:39] ---
I wanted you all to myself.
[14:42] ---
I wanted to keep you in
our world, just the two of us.
[14:48] ---
That's why, that day...
[14:49] ---
You're not to blame, Elena. I'm also--
[14:54] ---
We're finally back together,
so please. Let me see you smile.
[15:01] ---
I can't really smile.
[15:06] ---
That tickles.
[15:09] ---
I love you, Midori. You're my only friend.
[15:15] ---
If I have you, I don't need anything else.
[15:19] ---
Brother, you won't even say my name?
[15:23] ---
Or are you so surprised you can't speak?
[15:28] ---
I'll go first, then. I'll tell you what
I've done since the day we parted.
[15:36] ---
After that day, I went to many places.
[15:38] ---
I met many people.
At times, it was relatively fun,
[15:43] ---
and at other times, I saw a cruel world
that makes you want to squint.
[15:47] ---
But my heart remains unmoved.
[15:51] ---
I was always curious about you, brother.
[15:53] ---
You never said a word when our
parents abused you so much.
[15:58] ---
But at the same time, I knew that I was
the only one that could understand you.
[16:03] ---
And you're the only one
that can understand me.
[16:08] ---
If only I reached out to you at the time...
[16:15] ---
A sweet temptation tugs the boy's heart.
[16:19] ---
Wishfully starting to grab that hand,
he sees himself in the past.
[16:25] ---
But the boy could not ignore
the strange feeling.
[16:31] ---
Who are you?
[16:38] ---
We have to go to this year's
summer festival together.
[16:42] ---
We'll wear the same kimono, like old times.
[16:45] ---
Yeah.
[16:46] ---
Hey, Elena. I need to properly...
[16:50] ---
Don't apologize. I don't want
to hear it right now.
[16:55] ---
Okay.
[16:57] ---
To tell you the truth, I've been
wishing you'd apologize.
[17:00] ---
"Sorry I looked aside.
Sorry I left you alone."
[17:04] ---
But...
[17:13] ---
I realized after I couldn't see you anymore,
[17:16] ---
that I wish for your happiness
from the bottom of my heart.
[17:20] ---
Because I love your smile.
[17:24] ---
Elena...
[17:27] ---
So I'm the one that has to apologize,
for making you feel bad.
[17:32] ---
You're still my number one, Midori!
[17:37] ---
I still kept this.
[17:42] ---
What's that?
[17:44] ---
Huh? You don't remember these?
[17:59] ---
You know, my dream was to
play catch with you like this.
[18:03] ---
Even though I was actually
obsessed over another dream.
[18:08] ---
Can we start fresh? Let's live together,
the three of us, like before.
[18:13] ---
Don't kid yourself!
[18:16] ---
What about your research?
It's your dream, right?
[18:20] ---
A dream is a dream because
it won't come true.
[18:23] ---
To think that I left you guys to
find out about such a simple fact...
[18:28] ---
It's not even funny.
[18:31] ---
Dad...
[18:32] ---
Please, Akane. I'll do anything
if I can live with you guys again.
[18:38] ---
Even if I lose everything.
[18:42] ---
Shut up, I also...
[18:49] ---
No...
[18:53] ---
The boy is tormented by the
odd feeling instilled in him.
[18:55] ---
He tried to ignore it once.
[19:00] ---
But the cry of his soul stops him.
[19:06] ---
Who the hell are you? A dream's
a dream because it won't come true?
[19:11] ---
Bullshit. My dad would fulfill his dreams
even if it meant abandoning his kid.
[19:17] ---
Even if he lost everything,
he couldn't throw away his dream.
[19:21] ---
That's who my dad is!
[19:26] ---
I failed.
[19:33] ---
Tsk. She caught on.
[19:45] ---
Dammit!
[19:50] ---
What? What's going on?!
[19:52] ---
It's fine.
[19:54] ---
Their lives are interesting because
they don't follow the script.
[19:59] ---
See. Look, Shake.
[20:03] ---
Not the actors, but the actual
characters are making an appearance.
[20:07] ---
Indeed, reality is stranger than play.
[20:13] ---
It seems we'll get a
unique ending-- my favorite.
[20:17] ---
Our play ends here.
[20:20] ---
Ugh, I don't care anymore!
[20:23] ---
You should rest a little.
[20:26] ---
Your job isn't done yet.
[20:29] ---
What?!
[20:37] ---
The ultimate drama called
reality is about to start.
[20:48] ---
I'm not to blame, Arthur.
[20:51] ---
It's just that the humans are selfish.
[20:54] ---
Just like how you were
abandoned by your parents,
[20:56] ---
humans selfishly try to twist
their destiny and fate.
[21:02] ---
I don't know about that.
[21:05] ---
Does the silent Fallen King wish for a
comedy laughing at the world's despair,
[21:11] ---
or a tragedy clinging onto the hopeful future?
[21:15] ---
Only the gods know.
[22:54] ---
I reject you with all my strength and heart!
[22:57] ---
Is that all you got?!
[22:59] ---
If you don't cut it out,
you're really gonna make me mad!
[23:02] ---
I guess you won't get it
until we have a real fight.
[23:05] ---
Things are getting pretty interesting.
[23:07] ---
"The Key to the Gate"
Things are getting pretty interesting.
