[00:20] ---
    There is no such thing as
    a chance meeting between people.
[00:24] ---
    That's what someone once said.
    That it was always inevitable.
[00:32] ---
    Can it be said that our meeting there,
    on that day, in that place,
[00:36] ---
    was also inevitable?
[00:40] ---
    That meeting, in the darkness
    that stretches out forever,
[00:44] ---
    which shined like a star
    for only the briefest moment,
[00:48] ---
    and yet, was one that I can never forget.
[00:56] ---
    One that was so terribly cruel.
[01:10] ---
    I may have a habit of running away
    whenever anything bad occurs,
[01:17] ---
    but no matter what happens,
    I'm not going to run away now.
[01:24] ---
    I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
    even though I understand it in my mind,
[01:31] ---
    but since I am aiming higher,
    I'm not going to cry now.
[01:38] ---
    I'm tired of hearing that
    things will turn out all right.
[01:40] ---
    Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:42] ---
    Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:43] ---
    In time it will all feel
    just like it should!
[01:47] ---
    Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
    etched in my mind
[01:53] ---
    that someday, this will all be real.
[02:00] ---
    Both the unchanging mornings
    and the never-ending nights.
[02:06] ---
    I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:31] ---
    This is a mess.
[02:33] ---
    You there!
[02:35] ---
    Thank you! You've come
    to rescue us, right?
[02:38] ---
    Survivors!
[02:41] ---
    We were caught in the middle of a battle,
    and got hit by stray fire.
[02:45] ---
    We still have many more
    that are wounded.
[02:47] ---
    Could we have them
    treated aboard your ship?
[02:50] ---
    What are you transporting?
[02:53] ---
    I have expenses. You'll have to
    share some of your goods with me.
[02:57] ---
    Oh, yeah, you got it.
[03:09] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:11] ---
    T- thanks.
[03:15] ---
    Brother!
[03:17] ---
    Brother!
[03:19] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:21] ---
    Is something the matter?
[03:24] ---
    Brother, it's you, right?
[03:27] ---
    You have the wrong person.
    I don't have any siblings.
[03:32] ---
    I'm terribly sorry, but could
    you lend me your shoulder?
[03:37] ---
    Yeah.
[03:54] ---
    Thanks to you, we made it
    out of here alive.
[03:56] ---
    Thank you so much. We're grateful.
[04:05] ---
    Your eyes were not smiling.
[04:15] ---
    Michel-sama!
[04:16] ---
    Michel-sama!
[04:19] ---
    Allow us to help you.
[04:28] ---
    M- Michel-sama?!
[04:33] ---
    Thank goodness...
    thank goodness you're safe!
[04:36] ---
    Yes indeed... yes indeed...
[04:39] ---
    Not again.
[04:41] ---
    You have the wrong person.
    I do not know you.
[04:45] ---
    You can't mean that! It's me!
    Sylua! Sylua Moe Silvernail!
[04:51] ---
    That's a long name.
[04:52] ---
    Forgive me, but I don't know
    what you're talking about.
[04:58] ---
    What is going on?
[05:00] ---
    It's unmistakable! This gentleman is-
[05:02] ---
    Calm down!
[05:04] ---
    We have the wrong person.
[05:05] ---
    But...
[05:06] ---
    Never mind, see to the injured.
[05:08] ---
    O- okay.
[05:14] ---
    Thanks. We will rest
    in here for a little while.
[05:18] ---
    Take your time.
[05:22] ---
    Let's go!
[05:23] ---
    It looks like we'll be able to
    take on plenty of good stuff!
[05:26] ---
    It is a freighter, after all.
[05:28] ---
    "Give and take," and everything!
[05:31] ---
    Heizak!
[05:41] ---
    Why do you not make sure about him?
[05:44] ---
    He's right. You've finally met up again.
[05:47] ---
    --If you don't make sure
    it's him now, you'll never-
[05:48] ---
    --There's no way he could be my brother.
[05:50] ---
    Michel-sama!
[05:52] ---
    If that man really is my brother,
[05:55] ---
    there's no way that
    he would not recognize me.
[05:58] ---
    I'm sure there must be
    some reason for this.
[06:01] ---
    Reason?
[06:02] ---
    Like some circumstance that will
    not allow him to reveal his identity,
[06:05] ---
    or maybe he is being
    threatened by someone.
[06:07] ---
    Mm-hmm. Whatever the case,
    we must check into it.
[06:11] ---
    You two being reunited here like this
    could be the guidance of your late father.
[06:20] ---
    Right now, I am not just my own person.
[06:23] ---
    I, Michel Volban,
    am the leader of the People's Army!
[06:27] ---
    What I need to do now is to return
    to the People's Army's base
[06:31] ---
    as quickly as possible,
[06:32] ---
    and defeat the Holy Emperor's forces,
    led by Vetti!
[06:38] ---
    Michel-sama...
[07:18] ---
    You've gotten even better.
[07:21] ---
    Brother...
[07:22] ---
    Here, once again.
[07:40] ---
    Brother...
[07:56] ---
    Something came from the masked woman.
[07:59] ---
    Would you read it to me?
[08:01] ---
    Okay!
[08:03] ---
    Let's see, what have we here?
[08:06] ---
    "My exceptional dreamer,
[08:08] ---
    who knows not my face,
    and whose words are without soul,
[08:14] ---
    and yet, who knows not how the mask
    you wrote of is as thin ice.
[08:19] ---
    I see through into the truth of your heart,
    and my silhouette is not to be found there.
[08:25] ---
    Ah, I behold not even your own form.
[08:28] ---
    Such adoration of emptiness
    is but the mark of a clown."
[08:34] ---
    What is it ultimately
    that she's trying to say?
[08:36] ---
    Cross-Star religion's only daughter.
[08:40] ---
    She must have been
    raised to be so cultured.
[08:47] ---
    She has beautiful handwriting.
[08:49] ---
    Vetti-sama, you're horrible!
    Do you really intend to marry that woman?
[09:01] ---
    Vetti-sama...
[09:03] ---
    Imagine, her calling me a clown.
[09:06] ---
    Don't you think that we can
    enjoy this game somewhat?
[09:11] ---
    Promise me, Vetti-sama,
    that even when you're married,
[09:16] ---
    I will be the only one in your heart.
[09:20] ---
    Vetti-sama?
[09:23] ---
    Vetti-sama! What's wrong?! Vetti-sama!
[09:27] ---
    Stay strong! Vetti-sama! Vetti-sama!
[09:31] ---
    Wait here! I'm going to go get someone!
[09:36] ---
    Don't leave!
[09:42] ---
    Vetti-sama...
[09:43] ---
    I'm right here beside you.
    I'm not going anywhere.
[09:50] ---
    Vetti-sama, please share
    your pain with me.
[10:18] ---
    I'm... okay now...
[10:23] ---
    Vetti-sama...
[10:44] ---
    Excuse me.
[10:46] ---
    Did you need something?
[10:52] ---
    Is something the matter?
[11:06] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
    Is this some sort of joke?
[11:12] ---
    If he were Brother, there's no way
    he wouldn't have defended himself.
[11:18] ---
    I have acted discourteously. Forgive me.
[11:26] ---
    To think that you would come to us...
[11:59] ---
    Michel-sama!
[12:02] ---
    Watch out!
[12:06] ---
    What?!
[12:24] ---
    That was faster than I expected.
[12:29] ---
    For crying out loud,
    you're good for nothing.
[12:47] ---
    M- Michel?!
[12:49] ---
    Who are you guys?!
[12:54] ---
    W- what?!
[12:56] ---
    My glasses... my glasses...
[13:00] ---
    --They're kidnapping Michel!
[13:01] ---
    --My glasses... my glasses... my glasses...
[13:02] ---
    --What do we do?!
[13:04] ---
    --First thing we do is get ready to launch!
[13:06] ---
    ...my glasses...
[13:07] ---
    --my glasses...
[13:07] ---
    --Come on, let's go!
[13:16] ---
    I see now. You guys are
    Vetti's men, are you?
[13:29] ---
    Don't be in such a rush.
[13:32] ---
    I make it a point to take on any fight
    that anyone picks with me.
[13:46] ---
    Tch!
[13:54] ---
    We're going to go rescue Michel-sama!
[13:56] ---
    Please make way!
[13:57] ---
    You're too late!
[13:59] ---
    Your general has long
    since been taken away!
[14:03] ---
    What?!
[14:04] ---
    Michel-sama!
[14:19] ---
    Bastard! You would abandon your men?!
[14:41] ---
    These are all that are left? Oh, well.
    I can always make more dolls.
[15:16] ---
    We're taking off!
[15:23] ---
    Would you mind explaining this?
[15:26] ---
    Michel-sama has an older brother.
[15:30] ---
    The two brothers were very close.
[15:34] ---
    Michel-sama greatly adored
    his older brother. However,
[15:40] ---
    his brother went missing during
    a battle with Vetti's forces,
[15:44] ---
    and everyone had given up on him
    as having passed away.
[15:48] ---
    If... if that gentleman is still alive,
[15:53] ---
    then he would be Michel-sama's
    only remaining family.
[15:57] ---
    How he must have missed him!
[16:04] ---
    Brother!
[16:11] ---
    Why?! Why would you do this?!
[16:14] ---
    Is there some reason why
    you won't identify yourself?!
[16:31] ---
    It's Brother, all right!
    It's unmistakably Brother!
[16:51] ---
    Show me your back!
[16:54] ---
    If you're my brother, then you
    should have a scar on your back.
[16:56] ---
    If you say you're not my brother,
    then show me your back!
[17:07] ---
    Present arms to Commander Kaz!
[17:11] ---
    They are pursuing us.
[17:12] ---
    Shoot them down.
[17:13] ---
    Yes, sir.
[17:15] ---
    Just as it was reported.
[17:17] ---
    So it wasn't enough to even put a dent in it.
[17:20] ---
    Open all gunports.
[17:25] ---
    Target the glass battleship. Fire.
[17:43] ---
    Cleo!
[17:45] ---
    That's too bad, huh?
[17:47] ---
    Why did you fire?!
    They had nothing to do with this!
[17:51] ---
    It's too late now.
[17:52] ---
    Not even that glass battleship
    could stand a chance
[17:54] ---
    against a direct hit from this ship.
[17:59] ---
    I'm grateful to you, Michel Volban.
[18:02] ---
    Thanks to you, I will
    formally be made a count.
[18:13] ---
    That man is a valuable tribute to be
    given to His Excellency Vetti!
[18:16] ---
    Why did you spoil him?!
[18:19] ---
    Oh, well. The order was to take you alive.
    As long as you're alive, I don't care.
[18:29] ---
    What was that just now?!
[18:31] ---
    The royal family crest has
    been stamped onto our ship.
[18:33] ---
    What?!
[18:47] ---
    I- impossible! The glass battleship
    was shot down!
[19:02] ---
    Cleo!
[19:04] ---
    I told you, once I put something in
    my pocket, I make sure to protect it!
[19:08] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[19:08] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[19:10] ---
    Idiots! Stand back, it's dangerous here!
[19:21] ---
    Upon failure of the mission,
    I was ordered to kill you.
[19:26] ---
    Your boss is gone.
    That order is meaningless.
[19:34] ---
    Upon failure of the mission,
    I was ordered to kill you.
[19:37] ---
    Brother!
[19:39] ---
    Sheesh, this is hopeless.
[19:57] ---
    Say your prayers, and make it fast.
[20:00] ---
    Stop!
[20:01] ---
    Please don't!
[20:03] ---
    What are you doing?!
[21:03] ---
    Was he your brother?
[21:07] ---
    No. That was no brother of mine.
[21:11] ---
    I see.
[21:21] ---
    Where is Michel-sama?
[21:25] ---
    Stop!
[21:27] ---
    Let her be by herself.
[21:54] ---
    "Like a Clown"
[22:03] ---
    It's twilight already in the
    glass city of mistaken notions
[22:09] ---
    where we exchanged farewells
    among the countless lights.
[22:14] ---
    After making that pinky promise,
    the finger that lied to you
[22:20] ---
    developed a hangnail,
    and still hurts a little even now.
[22:26] ---
    We called each other's names,
    we spoke each other's names,
[22:29] ---
    and the world where you and I
    once met keeps spinning around.
[22:35] ---
    After these tears fall,
    will they be forgotten?
[22:40] ---
    After the sadness melts away,
    will I be able to see?
[22:46] ---
    Quivering and shimmering
    in this glistening world,
[22:52] ---
    they grow cold and dry up
    as I grasp them in my hands.
[22:57] ---
    Even if this world were made of nothing
[23:03] ---
    but lies and nonsense,
    I probably wouldn't care.
[23:08] ---
    Somewhere on this world,
    I am here singing,
[23:14] ---
    so please, may you be
    here on this world, smiling.
[23:30] ---
    When those who are charged with
    destiny look back on their past,
[23:34] ---
    what is it that appeals
    to their lonely hearts?
[23:37] ---
    Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like a Rebuke"
[23:40] ---
    The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
