[00:32] ---
    For 400 years, our village has
    been cut off from the world below,
[00:36] ---
    living in total self-sufficiency.
[00:46] ---
    The solstice is a festival
[00:48] ---
    to welcome the spirits of our ancestors
    who return in summer,
[00:51] ---
    and pray for a bountiful harvest.
[00:54] ---
    It begins tomorrow at dawn
    and ends in the evening.
[00:59] ---
    We'd like you to stay here until then.
[01:03] ---
    Look at the stained glass and that spire.
[01:06] ---
    It looks like a medieval cathedral
    from an old painting.
[01:09] ---
    Hey, look at that great old fence!
[01:12] ---
    And that ancient well!
[01:17] ---
    What are you doing?
[01:20] ---
    Hey, what's going on?
[01:22] ---
    Wolves.
[01:24] ---
    Wild wolves live in these mountains.
[01:27] ---
    I thought the people of
    the village were the wolves.
[01:31] ---
    Watch your mouth!
[01:32] ---
    We are human.
[01:34] ---
    Although of a different race
    than those below...
[01:54] ---
    It seemed like it had been decided long before
[02:00] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[02:06] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[02:12] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison
[02:17] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin
[02:23] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:29] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear
[02:35] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:40] ---
    Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[02:46] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:58] ---
    Continuing on forever
[03:13] ---
    Welcome home.
[03:20] ---
    Y-You look just like Cordelia.
[03:25] ---
    I was only a child then,
    but I remember it so well.
[03:29] ---
    Harminia...
[03:31] ---
    The sinner Cordelia...
[03:33] ---
    In this building, in this village...
[03:36] ---
    The evil that never fades...
[03:40] ---
    Harminia!
[03:43] ---
    Do forgive me.
[03:47] ---
    What's with that girl?
[03:52] ---
    The incident took place in
    Headman Theodore's study.
[03:56] ---
    Every night at midnight, the maid...
[03:59] ---
    Oh, yes, Cordelia was only
    15 years old back then.
[04:04] ---
    She would go to the study
    to refresh the water in the pitcher.
[04:08] ---
    She did it that night, too,
    at precisely midnight.
[04:11] ---
    How do you know it was midnight?
[04:13] ---
    I and some others saw Cordelia
    unlock the door and go in.
[04:19] ---
    I checked the time on my pocket watch.
[04:23] ---
    But for some reason, the others
    with me all gave different times.
[04:30] ---
    Cordelia opened the door
    to the study, screamed, and ran out.
[04:35] ---
    When we ran up, we saw...
[04:37] ---
    ...Headman Theodore dead,
    with a dagger in his back.
[04:42] ---
    For some reason, there were gold coins
    scattered across the floor.
[04:46] ---
    Gold coins?
[04:47] ---
    Yes. We don't use gold coins in this village,
    so Headman Theodore held onto them.
[04:56] ---
    That night, Cordelia was
    bedridden with fever.
[05:00] ---
    I became the new headman,
    waited for her fever to break,
[05:04] ---
    then drove her out of the village.
[05:06] ---
    Drove her out?
[05:07] ---
    Yes.
[05:13] ---
    We gave her one gold coin and
    one trunk, took her out of the village,
[05:18] ---
    then raised the drawbridge.
[05:21] ---
    She had never set foot into
    the wider world before.
[05:25] ---
    I doubted that she would survive.
[05:30] ---
    That's awful.
[05:32] ---
    You can't let a sinner remain.
[05:34] ---
    It brings ill fortune to a village.
[05:37] ---
    But now, Cordelia's daughter is here.
[05:42] ---
    Hey, Victorique!
[05:44] ---
    A walk? But we only just got here!
[05:47] ---
    Hey, Victorique!
[05:51] ---
    Out for a stroll?
[05:52] ---
    Yeah.
[05:53] ---
    I am Ambrose, Headman Sergius's assistant.
[05:58] ---
    What? Uh... I...
[06:00] ---
    I was wondering why your skin
    and hair were so different.
[06:04] ---
    I know that people from the outside world
    aren't always blonde, but...
[06:09] ---
    Victorique, help me!
[06:10] ---
    There's a place I'd like you to take me.
[06:14] ---
    Certainly. Tell me what it is.
[06:16] ---
    In exchange, might I touch him a bit more?
[06:20] ---
    Do as you wish.
[06:21] ---
    Vi--
[06:22] ---
    Thank you. Where do you want to go?
[06:25] ---
    The house where Cordelia lived.
[06:32] ---
    Here it is.
[06:33] ---
    I see.
[06:35] ---
    I'll be going now.
[06:36] ---
    Huh? You're going?
[06:39] ---
    It would cause trouble if they knew
    he had brought us here.
[07:04] ---
    Victorique?
[07:05] ---
    Help me.
[07:06] ---
    S-Sure.
[07:17] ---
    This is...
[07:19] ---
    But there's nothing inside.
[07:21] ---
    No...
[07:25] ---
    This picture...
[07:27] ---
    It's Cordelia?
[07:29] ---
    And myself as a baby.
[07:32] ---
    But Cordelia was exiled when she was 15.
[07:36] ---
    Someone has been here.
[07:38] ---
    They took something that was left here,
    and left the picture of Cordelia as an adult.
[07:47] ---
    Where is this chaos heading?
[07:54] ---
    Theodore...
[07:56] ---
    That's the grave of the last headman, right?
[08:01] ---
    Don't do that, Victorique!
[08:03] ---
    That's an awful thing to do to a grave.
[08:10] ---
    "I am not the culprit.
[08:13] ---
    C."
[08:15] ---
    Cordelia?
[08:19] ---
    Cordelia is the one who wrote this.
[08:22] ---
    My mother really was exiled
    for a crime she didn't commit.
[08:31] ---
    Which means... Where is the real sinner?
[08:36] ---
    Victorique!
[08:37] ---
    Kujo?
[08:41] ---
    Run!
[08:42] ---
    Kujo?
[08:45] ---
    That wasn't laughter.
[08:46] ---
    Those are...
[08:48] ---
    The color of their eyes...
    Just like Victorique's...
[09:05] ---
    We're safe.
[09:06] ---
    Wolves?
[09:10] ---
    Come on, that's not enough.
[09:12] ---
    Raise one more time.
[09:14] ---
    I promise, I'll lose big.
[09:16] ---
    Okay.
[09:17] ---
    Hey, how did your phone call go?
[09:20] ---
    Oh, it's you two.
[09:23] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:25] ---
    M-Mildred?
[09:27] ---
    A telephone? So they do have electricity.
[09:31] ---
    Really!
[09:32] ---
    The headman said they were
    self-sufficient here...
[09:35] ---
    Yeah, I thought that was weird, too.
[09:37] ---
    I asked that weird maid...
[09:40] ---
    Apparently, they have a sponsor.
[09:42] ---
    Sponsor?
[09:43] ---
    Yeah.
[09:44] ---
    What was the name, again?
[09:47] ---
    Brian...
[09:48] ---
    Yes, a man named Brian Roscoe.
[09:52] ---
    Brian Roscoe...
[09:55] ---
    He's the descendant of a man
    who left the village to live outside.
[09:58] ---
    Ten years ago, he made a donation.
[10:02] ---
    Ten years ago?
[10:04] ---
    I see...
[10:07] ---
    I'm sick of cards.
[10:09] ---
    Hey, let's visit that cathedral.
[10:11] ---
    Huh? But the wolves...
[10:13] ---
    Wolves? That creepy old man
    will drive them off, remember?
[10:19] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[10:24] ---
    It's all mixed up again.
[10:26] ---
    All this lace and frills... I can't handle it.
[10:29] ---
    Hey, Victorique...
[10:31] ---
    Brian Roscoe came here ten years ago.
[10:35] ---
    What did he come to this village for?
[10:39] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:40] ---
    To bring electricity to the village, right?
[10:43] ---
    Ten years ago would be
    when the Great War started.
[10:49] ---
    It seems a tumultuous age to be
    bringing electricity to a small town.
[10:55] ---
    Besides, ten years ago is roughly
    when that picture was taken.
[11:02] ---
    Y-Yes?
[11:04] ---
    Hot water for your bath.
[11:06] ---
    Dilute it with cold water.
[11:09] ---
    I can take a bath?!
[11:13] ---
    Victorique, call out if
    you need anything, okay?
[11:16] ---
    I'll be right here!
[11:26] ---
    Victorique?
[11:29] ---
    ♪ I love baths so much! ♪
[11:33] ---
    Oh, she's just singing.
[11:33] ---
    ♪ They warm me up! ♪
[11:36] ---
    Sounds like Victorique is back to normal.
[11:40] ---
    Maybe I'll take a break, too.
[11:47] ---
    Wh-What?
[11:49] ---
    Hey, Victorique!
[11:50] ---
    Are you okay?
[11:54] ---
    No response?
[11:56] ---
    Victorique!
[12:03] ---
    What's wrong, Kujo?
[12:05] ---
    Why all the shouting?
[12:06] ---
    Victorique.
[12:10] ---
    That's...
[12:11] ---
    Someone wants to frighten me
    out of this village.
[12:16] ---
    Let's go.
[12:17] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this village.
[12:19] ---
    It's dangerous!
[12:20] ---
    I'm staying.
[12:22] ---
    Victorique!
[12:24] ---
    You'll protect me, won't you?
[12:27] ---
    O-Of course I will!
[12:29] ---
    Then I have nothing to worry about.
[12:57] ---
    Amazing... These are red radishes?
[13:00] ---
    This float belongs to the army of winter.
[13:03] ---
    The army of winter?
[13:04] ---
    Yes.
[13:05] ---
    The men of the village hold a play
    depicting the armies of winter and summer.
[13:10] ---
    The summer army kills the "Winter Man,"
    general of the winter army,
[13:13] ---
    and burns him along with the float.
[13:15] ---
    Wow...
[13:17] ---
    Those who disgrace this village must leave!
[13:19] ---
    Shut the hell up.
[13:20] ---
    Stupid superstitions...
[13:22] ---
    This village is so crummy.
[13:24] ---
    Right?
[13:25] ---
    Stop it!
[13:26] ---
    If we get kicked out of the village now...
[13:34] ---
    W-We're sorry!
    He just picks fights wherever he goes.
[13:38] ---
    Let's go back to the room. Okay?
[13:42] ---
    They caused a big stink
    at the cathedral last night.
[13:46] ---
    With all the villagers watching...
[13:48] ---
    They dropped one of the old decorative urns
    right into the holy water basin.
[13:56] ---
    Why did they do that?
[13:58] ---
    Who knows why drunks do what they do?
[14:01] ---
    They were laughing, saying,
    "Who cares about this rotten old place?"
[14:05] ---
    And after going on about its retro appeal.
[14:13] ---
    Here, I brought some sweets from town.
[14:16] ---
    Here it comes!
[14:19] ---
    What?
[14:22] ---
    Ow, ow...
[14:24] ---
    That hurts!
[14:26] ---
    What's that?
[14:29] ---
    It's Alan.
[14:31] ---
    Despite what he said, I guess
    he really did like the festival.
[14:38] ---
    I wonder what these signify.
[14:51] ---
    That's Ambrose, isn't it?
[14:52] ---
    Cool!
[15:01] ---
    Winter Man, be burned away!
[15:17] ---
    What's that?
[15:19] ---
    The effigy...
[15:21] ---
    Get out of the way!
[15:28] ---
    Fetch water!
[15:45] ---
    How frightening...
[15:49] ---
    Alan!
[16:03] ---
    A-Alan...
[16:05] ---
    This was an accident.
[16:06] ---
    He likely took the effigy's place
    to interrupt the festival and harass us.
[16:11] ---
    Stupid tourist.
[16:13] ---
    That's not possible!
[16:14] ---
    Headman Sergius, that isn't possible.
[16:17] ---
    We saw this young man passing by
    while the girls were throwing hazelnuts.
[16:22] ---
    There were so many people in the plaza then.
[16:24] ---
    I don't think he could've
    taken the effigy's place.
[16:27] ---
    Verbosity is the sin of the foolish.
[16:32] ---
    F-Forgive me.
[16:36] ---
    We cannot interrupt the solstice festival.
[16:39] ---
    I must attend to the ritual at the cathedral.
[16:41] ---
    Excuse me.
[16:42] ---
    Wait! Hey!
[16:44] ---
    Hey!
[16:51] ---
    A man is dead, but they're
    continuing the festival...
[16:55] ---
    The people of this village
    really are strange.
[16:57] ---
    Right, Victorique?
[17:01] ---
    Huh? Victorique?
[17:16] ---
    You'll protect me, won't you?
[17:37] ---
    Kazuya!
[17:38] ---
    Did you come to ask about the future, too?
[17:41] ---
    The future?
[17:42] ---
    After the summer army wins
    and the bountiful harvest is assured,
[17:46] ---
    we leave the cathedral
    abandoned in the evening.
[17:49] ---
    The cathedral is a gateway to the afterlife.
[17:51] ---
    Our ancestors can pass through
    to see the harvest.
[17:55] ---
    But first, the spirits of our ancestors
    passing close to this world
[17:58] ---
    speak through the headman to
    answer the children's questions.
[18:03] ---
    Kazuya, as long as you're here,
    give it a try!
[18:06] ---
    No, um...
[18:08] ---
    I'm looking for Victorique...
[18:11] ---
    W-Wait, Ambrose!
[18:22] ---
    Well?
[18:23] ---
    W-Well, I came here looking
    for Victorique.
[18:27] ---
    There is no need to worry.
[18:29] ---
    That girl is not like you.
[18:34] ---
    Now, what did you want to ask?
[18:38] ---
    The truth is... I have this friend, and...
[18:42] ---
    Will Victorique and I get
    to stay together forever?
[18:53] ---
    You will not die together.
[18:57] ---
    Many years from now...
[19:00] ---
    ...a great wind will blow,
    and shake the whole world.
[19:06] ---
    Your bodies are so light...
[19:08] ---
    You two will be blown apart
    by that great wind!
[19:15] ---
    But...
[19:18] ---
    ...your hearts will never be separated.
[19:28] ---
    Our hearts...
[19:29] ---
    Does that mean...?
[19:35] ---
    Next.
[19:43] ---
    We'll be blown apart...
[19:48] ---
    Victorique?
[19:50] ---
    You came here, too?
[19:55] ---
    Wh-What did you ask?
[20:00] ---
    If it would improve...
[20:03] ---
    If what would improve?
[20:05] ---
    My height.
[20:07] ---
    Your height?!
[20:09] ---
    Wh-What's the matter with you?
[20:11] ---
    I was totally...
[20:13] ---
    Well, whatever.
[20:15] ---
    Why are you so angry?
[20:16] ---
    Well, you just disappeared
    without saying a word.
[20:19] ---
    Where have you been?
[20:22] ---
    The study.
[20:28] ---
    Mama...
[20:32] ---
    The sinner Cordelia!
[20:41] ---
    This is the way
    Headman Theodore was stabbed.
[20:43] ---
    Straight through his upper back, like this.
[20:46] ---
    The knife went in to the hilt.
[20:50] ---
    Headman Theodore was an adult!
[20:52] ---
    Cordelia was a girl of 15!
[20:54] ---
    They were different heights!
[20:56] ---
    That's right.
[20:57] ---
    He was too tall for a child to drive
    a dagger down to the hilt in his back.
[21:03] ---
    The sinner Cordelia...
[21:05] ---
    That blackened soul...
[21:07] ---
    And yet... is it possible...?
[21:10] ---
    The criminal is someone else.
[21:12] ---
    You think so too, don't you?
[21:41] ---
    The wellspring of wisdom has begun to speak.
[21:44] ---
    All of the fragments have been reorganized.
[21:48] ---
    Reorganized? Does that mean
    you know who did it?
[21:52] ---
    But even knowing who did it,
    I lack a way to prove it.
[22:05] ---
    Has a wolf appeared?
[22:09] ---
    Corpses or wolves...
[22:11] ---
    I won't allow either
    to interrupt the festival!
[22:15] ---
    After him!
[22:17] ---
    Victorique!
[22:29] ---
    I don't hear the wolves anymore.
[22:33] ---
    There!
[22:35] ---
    No! Don't do it!
[22:41] ---
    I got him, Ambrose!
[22:44] ---
    That's the second one, Kujo.
[23:03] ---
    Loneliness fighting back again
[23:06] ---
    Seems to be like it never ends
[23:10] ---
    Give us hope through the love of
[23:12] ---
    Peaceful shine on me
[23:25] ---
    In the pounding rain that never ceases
[23:29] ---
    I have forgotten how to smile,
    and I suffer as the world passes me by
[23:40] ---
    If in the midst of conflict and deceit
[23:47] ---
    My heart withers
[23:54] ---
    Like a flower floating in turbulent waves
[24:02] ---
    Lead the way and overcome the storm
[24:09] ---
    Like you're stepping firmly on barren earth
[24:16] ---
    Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:34] ---
    The sin of the present shines brilliantly.
[24:37] ---
    It illuminates the sin of the past.
[24:40] ---
    That's strange.
[24:41] ---
    I have a really bad feeling about this.
