8. Vice Versa
**[02:16] Cody**
Lord Abel.
**[02:18] Cody**
The Captain wishes to know if you have any
specific instructions regarding our destination.
**[02:24] Abel**
I have determined
where they are headed.
**[02:27] Abel**
Set a north-northwesterly course.
**[02:29] Cody**
Very good, sir.
**[02:43] Abel**
Helena...
**[04:18] Helena**
Good afternoon!
**[04:20] Abel**
Er, g-good afternoon.
**[04:25] Helena**
Let me guess, you're lost too?
**[04:28] Helena**
The same thing happened to me.
**[04:31] Helena**
That's why I was dancing.
**[04:33] Abel**
Um, why?
**[04:38] Helena**
That's a good question!
I'm not really sure, either!
**[04:42] Helena**
My name is Helena.
**[04:44] Helena**
What's yours?
**[04:48] Abel**
My name...
**[04:51] Abel**
...is Abel.
**[04:53] Abel**
Abel Bluefield.
**[04:58] Abel**
Just so you know,
I'm supposedly a prince.
**[05:03] Abel**
But they say I'll never be king.
**[05:06] Helena**
Oh, really?
**[05:08] Abel**
I don't have any family.
Or friends.
**[05:11] Helena**
That sounds lonely.
**[05:12] Abel**
Yeah.
**[05:13] Abel**
I'm used to it, though.
**[05:16] Helena**
So, does that make me
your first friend?
**[06:39] Abel**
Helena!
**[07:23] Maid A**
Have you heard
about Miss Helena?
**[07:25] Maid A**
They say she eloped with
a Dutchman named Franz
**[07:29] Maid A**
while carrying the king's child!
**[07:32] Maid C**
What'll happen to her
if she's found?
**[07:35] Maid B**
Executed! Put to death!
**[07:36] Maid B**
She'll be burned at the stake!
**[07:54] Soldier**
Lord Abel!
**[08:48] Abel**
Helena!
**[08:50] Abel**
Helena, why?
**[08:53] Abel**
Why did you vanish?
**[08:54] Abel**
Why did you leave me?
**[09:00] Abel**
I wouldn't have cared if you were trying
to have a child with my father.
**[09:05] Abel**
I wanted you to be near me.
**[09:08] Abel**
That's all I wanted...
**[09:11] Abel**
Without you,
**[09:13] Abel**
I'd be all alone
in the world again.
**[09:18] Abel**
I don't want to be alone anymore.
Not again.
**[09:23] Abel**
Don't leave me!
**[09:26] Abel**
I'm begging you!
**[09:29] Helena**
That man told me.
**[09:33] Abel**
That man?
What man?
**[09:35] Abel**
That butler? "Franz," I think?
**[09:39] Helena**
"The father has to be him.
**[09:42] Helena**
If the father is not a king,
La Pucelle cannot be born."
**[09:58] Helena**
Don't cry, Abel Bluefield.
**[10:03] Helena**
My part to play is now finished.
**[10:06] Helena**
Now, I just have to
return to Eden.
**[10:10] Abel**
Eden?
**[10:12] Helena**
If I go there, will I be able
to see you again?
**[10:22] Helena**
Those who have a calling
will be guided to Eden.
**[10:27] Helena**
I can't say for sure
if that is the case for you.
**[10:32] Helena**
But...
**[10:35] Helena**
...if you should ever cross paths
with the child,
**[10:39] Helena**
perhaps that will mean
that you also have a calling.
**[10:50] Helena**
Goodbye, Abel.
**[10:53] Helena**
You're the only person
I ever loved in this world.
**[12:07] Abel**
This place... holds nothing
for me now.
**[12:23] Abel**
Nothing... at all.
**[12:28] Abel**
Wait for me, Helena.
**[12:42] Abel**
I'll be with you soon.
**[12:50] Cody**
It's time, Alba Regina.
**[13:11] Yukimaru**
There's still a little pain.
**[13:21] Yukimaru**
Do you need something?
**[13:27] Fena**
- Feeling better?
- Nine on a scale of ten.
**[13:30] Fena**
Oh. That's good news.
**[13:33] Yukimaru**
- The onigiri.
- About earlier...
**[13:36] Yukimaru**
Those there.
**[13:38] Yukimaru**
Did you make them?
**[13:40] Fena**
Um, yeah.
**[13:43] Yukimaru**
What's in them?
**[13:44] Fena**
This one's seaweed, this one's plum.
And this one is some kind of fish.
**[13:49] Yukimaru**
I'll have the fish, then.
**[13:51] Fena**
Be my guest.
**[13:56] Yukimaru**
This is plum.
**[13:58] Fena**
Oh, sorry!
This one is the fish!
**[14:06] Fena**
Um, listen, Yukimaru...
**[14:09] Fena**
When you said what you said earlier,
what did you mean?
**[14:12] Yukimaru**
- What did I mean by what?
- That stuff you said! You know!
**[14:15] Yukimaru**
You'll have to be
more specific.
**[14:34] Yukimaru**
Okay, then...
**[14:38] Yukimaru**
The wind has picked up.
Let's go back in.
**[14:40] Fena**
Um, I'm gonna stay here
a bit longer.
**[14:43] Fena**
- Go on without me.
- All right.
**[15:15] Yukimaru**
What came before is south snows,
**[15:19] Yukimaru**
in the hour of cold flame.
**[15:23] Yukimaru**
Dark blue water,
**[15:26] Yukimaru**
white storm clouds.
**[15:28] Fena**
Yukimaru? That song, how--
**[15:30] Yukimaru**
The journey to the end...
**[15:34] Fena**
- Where did you learn that song?
- From *you.*
**[15:38] Yukimaru**
You were singing it as you danced around
aboard the *Hope.*
**[15:41] Yukimaru**
You called it a secret song,
and you were belting it out.
**[15:44] Fena**
I was shouting... a secret song?
**[15:46] Yukimaru**
You wouldn't stop singing it,
so it stuck in my head.
**[15:49] Yukimaru**
Why don't *you* remember it?
**[15:51] Fena**
I remember the melody,
but that's all.
**[15:55] Yukimaru**
I suppose it's no surprise,
the lyrics are gibberish.
**[16:00] Fena**
Yukimaru, do you remember
all of the lyrics?
**[16:03] Yukimaru**
Yes.
**[16:06] Yukimaru**
More than golden,
the land of the gods.
**[16:08] Yukimaru**
Atop the lattice stage,
dance, o shrine maiden.
**[16:12] Yukimaru**
Far across the waves,
the maid slumbers.
**[16:14] Yukimaru**
What came before is south snows,
in the hour of cold flame.
**[16:17] Yukimaru**
Dark blue water,
white storm clouds.
**[16:20] Yukimaru**
The journey to the end,
the stone that shows the way.
**[16:24] Yukimaru**
What lies ahead
is the sun setting in the east.
**[16:26] Yukimaru**
Now is the time to run,
beyond the ark.
**[16:30] Fena**
Beyond the ark...
**[16:33] Fena**
Dark blue water...
**[16:35] Fena**
...white storm clouds.
**[16:39] Voice**
*Which wilt thou choose?
Blue water? Or storm clouds?*
**[16:45] Fena**
Blue water or storm clouds.
**[16:48] Fena**
The maid slumbers.
**[16:51] Fena**
The stone that shows the way.
**[16:53] Fena**
The hour of cold flame.
**[16:55] Fena**
They match what
we've seen and done.
**[16:58] Yukimaru**
Fena?
**[16:59] Fena**
Do you suppose that maybe the words
to that song point the way to Eden?
**[17:04] Fena**
When I first came to the island,
Yukihisa said something.
**[17:08] Yukihisa**
*Your father ought to have told you
about it in some way or another.*
**[17:14] Fena**
O'Malley said that they needed
both the coordinates *and* me.
**[17:18] O'Malley**
*Apparently, we need both the girl
*and *the coordinates.
**[17:23] Fena**
If this song that was taught only to me
contains hints to the location of Eden, then...
**[17:30] Yukimaru**
What about "Atop the lattice stage,
dance, o shrine maiden"?
**[17:33] Fena**
It's probably a place
we haven't been to yet.
**[17:37] Yukimaru**
Fena, do you remember
the pedestal?
**[17:40] Fena**
Hm? Yeah.
**[17:43] Yukimaru**
That was almost certainly the face
of a clock, just as Karin suspected.
**[17:47] Fena**
Yeah.
**[17:48] Yukimaru**
The information they provide
are time and direction.
**[17:51] Yukimaru**
The stone only had time
etched into it.
**[17:55] Yukimaru**
Why was the direction
left out?
**[17:57] Yukimaru**
Are we supposed to pair up that time
to the directions in the song's lyrics?
***SIGN*** SOUTH
***SIGN*** EAST
**[18:00] Fena**
Even if that's the case,
there are two numbers.
**[18:04] Fena**
There are "61" and "34,"
written in Roman numerals.
**[18:08] Yukimaru**
"What came before" is the past.
"What lies ahead" is the future.
***SIGN*** "What came before"
***SIGN*** "What lies ahead"
***SIGN*** VI I PAST
FUTURE III IV
**[18:13] Yukimaru**
The sands of time flow from top to bottom.
In other words...
**[18:17] Fena**
"South" is 61 degrees,
and "east" is 34 degrees?
**[18:21] Yukimaru**
That's what it must mean.
**[18:23] Yukimaru**
What's wrong?
**[18:25] Fena**
It seems wrong somehow.
I can't explain why, though.
**[18:29] Fena**
Besides, the order is the reverse
of the places we visited.
**[18:44] Yukimaru**
Fena?
**[18:45] Fena**
I just remembered...
**[18:49] Fena**
- I just remembered something!
- Remembered what?
**[18:51] Fena**
The name of the song!
It's "Vice Versa"!
**[18:55] Yukimaru**
Vice Versa?
**[18:57] Yukimaru**
Latin for "the reverse
also holds true"...
**[19:01] Yukimaru**
Reverse...
**[19:04] Yukimaru**
I see! The answer
isn't south and east!
**[19:08] Fena**
It's north and west!
**[19:10] Yukimaru**
Past and future
are also reversed!
**[19:12] Yukimaru**
In other words,
flipped vertically.
**[19:15] Yukimaru**
Sixty-one degrees west longitude.
Thirty-four degrees north latitude.
**[19:19] Fena**
I think the numbers
might also be reversed.
**[19:23] Fena**
That would also explain why they're in
Roman numerals instead of Arabic.
**[19:30] Yukimaru**
So...
**[19:32] Yukimaru**
Fourteen degrees west longitude,
63 degrees north latitude.
**[19:38] Fena**
I bet that's where Eden is.
**[19:41] Yukimaru**
But we don't know for certain that this song
is really a hint to Eden's location.
**[19:44] Fena**
I think...
**[19:46] Fena**
...that's probably reversed, too.
**[19:48] Fena**
I'm not looking for Eden.
**[19:50] Fena**
Eden is making *me* look for *it.
**[19:53] Fena**
And when I've made the right choice,
someone comes to tell me.
**[19:59] Yukimaru**
Someone?
**[20:01] Fena**
Yukimaru. Let's go.
**[20:03] Fena**
Back to the others.
**[20:08] Cody**
Everything is in place.
Now you just have to choose.
**[20:29] Tsubaki**
"The reverse also holds true"...
**[20:31] Tsubaki**
Well, I'll be...
**[20:33] Enju & Kaede**
- Virgin bursar...
- Vice versa!
**[20:36] Karin**
This location isn't all that far away.
**[20:38] Tsubaki**
It certainly isn't.
**[20:40] Tsubaki**
Yukimaru.
**[20:42] Tsubaki & Yukimaru**
- How are the injuries?
- I'll be fine.
**[20:45] Tsubaki**
Shitan.
**[20:49] Tsubaki**
Are we good?
**[20:53] Shitan**
Yes, we're good.
**[21:10] Fena**
All sorts of things
happened to me.
**[21:13] Fena**
I never knew why,
so I didn't know what to do.
**[21:16] Fena**
But all those answers
can be found at Eden.
**[21:19] Fena**
That's what I've\ncome to believe.
**[21:22] Fena**
Because Eden is the thing
that brought me to all of you.
**[21:27] Fena**
I know that it might mean making
a bunch of trouble for you again.
**[21:31] Fena**
But I want to see all sorts
of places with you!
**[21:34] Fena**
I want to travel with you all!
**[21:37] Fena**
I don't know what's waiting
for us up ahead.
**[21:41] Fena**
But I want you to put your faith
in me and follow me!
**[21:45] Fena**
Set course for... Eden!
**[21:48] Fena & crew**
- Let's go there together!
- Yeah!
**[21:51] Enju & Kaede**
- A bunch of trouble, huh?
- Not like that's anything new.
**[21:54] Karin**
Fena is hopeless without
me around, you know?
**[21:57] Shitan**
This is shaping up to be
another rowdy trip.
**[21:59] Makaba & Tsubaki**
- First things first! Food!
- Shopping trip!
