    12. The Chosen Maiden
[01:36] Cody
    I've been waiting for you,
[01:38] Cody
    ...Fena Houtman.
[01:41] Yukimaru
    Who is this?
[01:43] Fena
    Cody...
[01:45] Fena
    What do you mean?
[01:47] Cody
    In short,
[01:49] Franz
    ...all of the elements that lead
    to you standing in this place...
[01:53] Cody
    ...were set into motion by us.
[01:57] Franz
    I am a part of Eden,
[02:00] Cody
    ...and Eden is a part of me.
[02:03] Franz
    It is we who govern the bloodline
    of the maidens, and their lives,
[02:07] Cody
    ...and guide them to this place.
[02:11] Franz
    Are you ready?
[02:24] Fena
    What is this place?
[02:28] Fena
    Yukimaru?
[02:31] Fena & Cody
    - Yukimaru?!
    - This is the entrance.
[02:36] Fena
    Cody...
[02:39] Fena
    What is this place?!
    Where's Yukimaru?!
[02:41] Cody
    He is safe,
    Fena La Pucelle Frederick.
[02:45] Cody
    Princess, true daughter
    of the king of England.
[02:50] Cody
    As well as the daughter of
    Helena La Pucelle des Armoises.
[02:56] Fena
    You guided me here?
[03:00] Cody
    Not just me.
[03:03] Cody
    The breadcrumbs and visions
    you experienced on your journey
[03:07] Cody
    belonged to a previous maiden,
    Johanne La Pucelle.
[03:12] Cody
    Your distant ancestor.
[03:15] Cody
    Memories from a past maiden
    that she entrusted to you.
[03:19] Cody
    As well as the preordained fate
    possessed by you yourself.
[03:24] Cody
    Every moment conspired to weave together
    the story that is you.
[03:29] Cody
    It was all...
[03:31] Franz
    ...a test to determine if you have
    what it takes to be a maiden.
[03:37] Franz
    And you demonstrated
    that you do.
[03:40] Franz
    You chose from the options presented to you
    and found your way to this place.
[03:50] Fena
    Chose...?
[03:53] Fena
    I thought I was making choices,
    but I was being made to choose.
[03:57] Fena
    By that mysterious part
    of me again...
[04:01] Fena
    What do you want to
    make me do now?
[04:03] Fena
    You want something, don't you?!
[04:05] Fena
    Tell me!
[04:09] Cody
    We searched.
[04:11] Cody
    For a being who would manage the swollen
    number of souls in our stead.
[04:17] Franz
    And so we choose. We would have that being
    test humanity and ascertain their maturity.
[04:26] Cody
    That was how the Maiden
    of Choosing came to be.
[04:32] Franz
    Through countless cycles of death and rebirth,
    they have continued to make that choice.
[04:40] Fena
    What choice?
[04:43] Franz
    Destruction and creation.
    Or continuation.
[04:48] Cody
    In short,
[04:50] Franz
    ...to destroy the world,
[04:53] Cody
    ...or leave it be.
[05:02] Cody
    To choose.
[05:05] Cody
    That is your role as one born
    to be the Maiden of Choosing.
[05:11] Fena
    What are you saying?
    Destroy the world? Leave it be?
[05:15] Fena
    How can I possibly make a choice
    like that at the drop of a hat?!
[05:17] Cody
    Will civilization's end come now,
    or in the distant future?
[05:23] Cody
    Your role is to make
    that determination.
[05:27] Franz
    A maiden cannot shirk her duty
    to make this choice.
[05:32] Cody
    Now, let us begin.
[05:49] Fena
    Stop! Stop it!
[06:04] Franz
    What we just showed you is a portion
    of the past that was unknown to you.
[06:09] Franz
    Mankind kills in order to protect
    and competes in order to survive.
[06:15] Cody
    For the moment, this arrangement is holding
    together in a precarious balance.
[06:20] Franz
    But if this continues unchanged, the day
    will come when all life will be extinguished.
[06:26] Franz
    An empty darkness
    will fill the skies.
[06:30] Fena
    Is that
[06:32] Fena
    a future that's set in stone?
[06:35] Franz
    Nothing in this world
    is set in stone.
[06:38] Franz
    There are only probabilities.
[06:41] Franz
    We exist to make one probability
    more likely.
[06:45] Cody
    Allow us to show you
    one such example.
[06:49] Franz
    This is a future that
    likely awaits your mercenaries.
[07:18] Fena
    Guys?
[07:21] Fena
    Yukimaru!
[07:59] Cody
    This is your first option. Change nothing,
    and let the sands of time fall as they may.
[08:19] Yukimaru
    Fena.
[08:24] Fena
    Yukimaru...
[08:26] Fena
    Where are we?
[08:29] Yukimaru
    A world that broke free
    of the cycle of death.
[08:32] Yukimaru
    Leaving only hope behind,
[08:34] Yukimaru
    it is an Ark of Time that drifts aimlessly
    until the day of rebirth arrives.
[08:41] Yukimaru
    When everything
    will be reset.
[08:45] Yukimaru
    It will choose pure souls at random
    in order for life to go on
[08:49] Yukimaru
    and consign everything else
    to oblivion.
[08:53] Fena
    What do you mean?
[08:55] Yukimaru
    To create anew,
    the old will be destroyed.
[08:58] Yukimaru
    Only the wind, the land,
    and the sea will remain.
[09:01] Yukimaru
    And...
[09:06] Fena
    Yukimaru?
[09:10] Fena
    I...
[09:16] Yukimaru
    I would never go of your hand again.
    That was my vow to you.
[09:20] Cody
    When maidens are reborn, the person she
    cherishes most will be at her side.
[09:27] Franz
    The one person deemed to be
    most fitting to be her mate.
[09:31] Fena
    But what will happen
    to the others?!
[09:40] Franz
    One last thing.
[09:42] Franz
    Once you have chosen, you will have
    completed your role as maiden.
[09:48] Cody
    Maidens who have completed their role
    lose all their memories.
[09:54] Fena
    Why?
[09:56] Franz
    The human heart is fragile.
[09:58] Franz
    Destruction and further observation
    both break the maiden's heart,
[10:02] Franz
    regardless of which
    she chooses.
[10:04] Franz
    To Eden, that would
    be undesirable.
[10:08] Cody
    For you to create the next
    generation of maiden,
[10:13] Franz
    ...we require you to continue
    your bloodline.
[10:33] Fena
    Why me?
[10:36] Fena
    This is cruel.
[10:38] Yukimaru
    It is because
[10:40] Yukimaru
    making this choice
    is what you were born to do.
[10:45] Fena
    I can't do it...
    I can't make that choice.
[10:49] Fena
    How could I possibly
    make that choice?
[11:05] Yukimaru
    This very moment
[11:07] Yukimaru
    is the reason your heart
    began to beat.
[11:14] Karin
    You've made decision after decision
    on this voyage, right?
[11:17] Karin
    You can do this, Fena!
[11:20] Fena
    Karin...
[11:22] Shitan
    You've gained
[11:24] Shitan
    all the experience you need.
[11:28] Tsubaki & Twins
    - All that's left now is to choose.
    - Yeah!
[11:31] Kaede & Enju
    - Have some faith in yourself!
    - You're our captain, ain't ya?
[11:35] Twins
    - You've got this!
    - You've got this!
[11:37] Yukimaru & Karin
    - Fena.
    - Fena!
[11:39] Tsubaki & Shitan
    - Fena.
    - Fena.
[11:42] Kaede & Enju
    - Fena.
    - Fena!
[11:44] Makaba
    Fena.
[11:45] Otto
    Lady Fena!
[11:47] Salman
    Lady Fena!
[11:50] Fena
    I... I'll...
[11:54] ---
    
[12:16] Karin
    What the--?
[12:18] Shitan
    What's that?
[12:20] Sailor
    Come back here!
[12:24] Kaede
    This is bad!
    It's coming down!
[12:25] Enju
    Crap!
    Tsubaki! What do we do?
[12:29] Tsubaki
    We retreat!
[12:30] Karin
    What about Fena and Yukimaru?
[12:31] Shitan
    Shouldn't we go help them?!
[12:33] Tsubaki
    If we tried to reach them now,
    we'd all die! Besides!
[12:36] Tsubaki
    No matter how bad things have looked,
    he's always made it back to us alive!
[12:40] Makaba
    Fena has Yukimaru with her!
[12:45] Shitan
    Let's trust in Yukimaru.
    He'll find a way through this.
[12:50] Shitan
    And on that note,
[12:51] Shitan
    let's do what we came to do ASAP
    and then pick up Yukimaru and Fena.
[12:56] Shitan
    If we died here,
    it would be a sick joke.
[13:07] Yukimaru
    Fena!
[13:20] Yukimaru
    Fena? Is that you?
[13:29] Fena
    Yukimaru...
[13:31] Yukimaru
    What happened to you?
[13:33] Fena
    Thank goodness...
    I'm glad you're okay!
[13:38] Yukimaru
    Let's get out of here!
    This place is falling apart!
[13:41] Yukimaru
    Hurry!
[13:47] Fena
    I can't go with you.
[13:50] Yukimaru
    What are... What are you saying?
[13:55] Fena
    I've... I've been running away
    from all sorts of memories.
[13:59] Fena
    Things I've tried
    not to remember.
[14:02] Fena
    But there was one thing
    that I could never forget.
[14:07] Fena
    And that's you.
[14:12] Fena
    I always remembered you.
[14:15] Fena
    My memories of you
    were always there with me.
[14:19] Fena
    Of when I sang, when I danced,
    when we fished...
[14:22] Fena
    Of when you got mad
    because I got carried away.
[14:24] Fena
    I always had faith that you
    would come and find me.
[14:28] Fena
    That's what kept me going
    even when I was all alone.
[14:32] Fena
    It's because you promised me.
    So I was able to keep going.
[14:38] Fena
    And sure enough,
    you really did find me!
[14:42] Fena
    You'd gotten taller, and your face
    was hidden by that helmet,
[14:46] Fena
    but I knew it was you
    the instant I saw you!
[14:48] Fena
    Then I left the island
    and met the rest of the guys.
[14:50] Fena
    They're rowdy and love to
    goof around together.
[14:53] Fena
    But they're precious friends that I can
    always count on when the chips are down.
[14:58] Fena
    Every moment of this journey
    is a precious memory to me!
[15:03] Fena
    But all those memories,
    all those feelings,
[15:07] Fena
    I'm going to lose them all.
[15:16] Fena
    Listen, Yukimaru.
[15:22] Fena
    Thank you for keeping me
    safe all this time.
[15:25] Fena
    I'm sorry I made
    so much trouble for you!
[15:27] Fena
    But you don't need to worry
    about me anymore!
[15:30] Fena
    I'll try to create a future
    where you all survive!
[15:33] Fena
    It might be a really hard future,
[15:36] Fena
    but if anyone can make their way
    through it, it's you guys!
[15:39] Fena
    I know it! I know 'cause you
    guys are all strong!
[15:41] Fena
    Way, way stronger
    than I am!
[15:45] Fena
    Even when I'm gone,
    you guys will be... You'll be...
[15:59] Yukimaru
    It's all right. You don't
    have to say anything.
[16:05] Yukimaru
    I'll keep you safe.
    Come what may,
[16:10] Yukimaru
    ...I'll be at your side.
[16:20] Fena
    What am I gonna do, Yukimaru?
[16:23] Fena
    I... I can't believe I'm
    gonna stop being me!
[16:28] Fena
    I'm gonna forget about you guys.
    I'm gonna forget you, Yukimaru.
[16:32] Fena
    I'm scared... I'm so scared...
[16:35] Fena
    But I can't choose just you...
    I like all of you guys so much...
[16:41] Fena
    So I can't do it...
[16:43] Fena
    I tried so hard to think of another way,
    but this is the only option.
[16:48] Fena
    But... I'm scared.
[16:50] Yukimaru
    I'll always be with you.
[16:53] Yukimaru
    No matter what happens,
    you will always be you.
[17:01] Fena
    I always knew you were nice
    deep down, Yukimaru.
[17:11] Fena
    Thank you.
[17:25] Yukimaru
    Fena...
[17:27] Fena
    Thank you for everything,
    Yukimaru!
[17:43] Yukimaru
    Don't, Fena!
    Don't go!
[17:45] Yukimaru
    Our journey isn't over yet!
[17:49] Fena
    I'm glad that I met you.
    That I met all of you.
[17:56] Yukimaru
    I'll never forget you,
    not ever!
[18:01] Yukimaru
    No matter where you might be!
    Even if you've forgotten who you are!
[18:06] Yukimaru
    I'll find you, no matter what!
[18:08] Yukimaru
    I'll find you,
    and I'll make you remember!
[18:17] Fena
    Yukimaru, listen to me.
[18:22] Fena
    I care for you, Yukimaru.
[18:25] Fena
    I have for a long, long time now.
[18:29] Fena
    And I always will.
[18:34] Yukimaru
    Don't go, Fena...
[18:38] Yukimaru
    Don't go.
[18:41] Yukimaru
    FENA!
[19:12] Yukimaru
    Fena! Where are you?!
    Fena! Fe--
[19:39] Yukimaru
    Fena...
[19:53] Fena
    Who... are you?
[19:58] Fena
    And who am--
[20:06] Yukimaru
    I'm Yukimaru.
[20:11] Yukimaru
    And you're... Fena.
[20:16] Tsubaki
    Hey! Yukimaru! Fena!
[20:19] Karin
    Fena!
[20:26] Tsubaki & Karin
    - Look at this!
    - We're glad you made it!
[20:32] Yukimaru
    Fena.
[20:36] Yukimaru
    Let's go back.
[20:39] Yukimaru
    Back to the others.
[20:49] Tsubaki & Karin
    - You don't remember anything?
    - That's what she says.
[21:07] Karin
    Now, relax your shoulder!
[21:21] Kaede
    So, where should we go?
[21:25] Mary & Hannah
    - Where are you, my beloved?
    - What do you even see in that guy?
[21:28] Charlotte
    You two are such little children!
[21:31] Enju
    - Anything ring any bells, Fena?
    - Er...
[21:33] Kaede
    Relax, there's no rush!
[21:57] Salman
    Lady Fena!
[22:02] Angie & Salman
    - Fena!
    - Lady Fena!
[22:05] Angie & Otto
    - Fena!
    - Lady Fena!
[22:07] Otto
    You look as well as ever!
[22:12] Fena
    Mister! Are you two okay?
[22:19] Karin
    Fena! Keep up!
[22:21] Fena
    Coming!
[22:32] Franz
    Are you hoping to find
    scraps of your memories?
[22:38] Karin
    Fena!
[22:40] Karin
    Get a move on, or we really are
    gonna leave your butt behind!
[22:43] Fena
    Coming!
[22:47] Karin
    You have to stop
    spacing out like that!
[22:56] Yukimaru
    Fena...
[23:01] Fena
    What's this?
[23:04] Yukimaru
    Keep it. Karin forged it
    and I honed it.
[23:07] Fena
    I...
[23:09] Yukimaru
    Do you remember it?
[23:12] Yukimaru
    You don't have to try
    to force the memories.
[23:16] Yukimaru
    Let them come back to you
    bit by bit.
[23:20] Yukimaru
    Whatever happens, I'll protect you.
[23:24] Yukimaru
    I'll always be at your side.
[23:28] Fena
    Yukimaru...
[23:31] Yukimaru
    No matter how much time passes,
    even if I grow old and frail,
[23:36] Yukimaru
    my feelings will never change.
[23:41] Yukimaru
    I love you.
[23:44] Yukimaru
    Ow! Fena?
[24:02] Fena
    I've been wanting to hear him
    say those words for ages.
