[00:09] ---
    Our story jumps back to before Souma
    Kazuya was summoned to this world.
[00:15] ---
    Up to then, the capital of Parnam had
    expanded out in an unplanned fashion,
[00:18] ---
    with its streets zigzagging in winding
    and convoluted directions.
[00:22] ---
    Souma laid out main roads and rebuilt
    the city to make rapid logistics possible.
[00:28] ---
    Moreover, he built water
    and sewage systems,
[00:31] ---
    and put efforts into beautifying the city.
[00:34] ---
    He further improved on public sanitation
[00:36] ---
    by constructing large sedimentation
    basins to purify the sewage.
[00:41] ---
    During the excavation work,
    the bones of gargoyles, giants,
[00:45] ---
    and countless other monsters
    were discovered.
[00:49] ---
    Among them were the bones of a dragon.
[00:52] ---
    Just as they were about to be
    taken to the Royal Academy,
[00:55] ---
    they suddenly turned up missing.
[01:00] ---
    Genia, you were the one behind that?
[01:03] ---
    I am terribly sorry about this.
[01:05] ---
    But this was a long time ago.
[01:07] ---
    It would have been forgotten
    if no one had mentioned it.
[01:09] ---
    Why bring it up now?
[01:11] ---
    The fault rests with me in that regard.
[01:14] ---
    I was sorting through some of my papers,
    and this was mixed in with them.
[01:19] ---
    "Dear Lu, I'm taking the dragon bones,
[01:22] ---
    so take care of the details
    for me. Genia." Ah...
[01:26] ---
    You just found that?
    Took you long enough, Lu.
[01:29] ---
    After you stole the dragon bones
    with a single scrap of paper,
[01:32] ---
    I don't want to hear it.
[01:34] ---
    It's mean of you to say I stole them.
    That's why I left the note.
[01:38] ---
    Could you save the couple's
    squabble until afterward?
[01:41] ---
    W-W-We are not a couple!
[01:43] ---
    You don't want me as your wife?
[01:46] ---
    N-No, I mean, we are not yet a couple!
[01:50] ---
    So, what were you going to do
    with the dragon bones?
[01:53] ---
    I'm so glad you asked!
[01:58] ---
    "...Keep on going anyway"
[02:00] ---
    Our bond strikes deep into my left breast
[02:13] ---
    We enjoy a fleeting happiness
    after weathering one fog,
[02:18] ---
    until our vision becomes obscured again
[02:24] ---
    Bitterly betrayed, we grow
    disgusted by our destiny
[02:29] ---
    But why does the dawn still come?
[02:34] ---
    We close our eyes and try to remember
[02:39] ---
    the chance of stopping, of never meeting
[02:44] ---
    From boundless zero to infinity,
[02:50] ---
    dreaming is the heartbeat of believing
[02:56] ---
    We'll move along alone and in pairs
[02:59] ---
    Don't stay put; our small,
    though by no means helpless steps
[03:06] ---
    will open uncharted territory
    for each of us
[03:10] ---
    Realize we will never again
    let our dreams die on the vine
[03:16] ---
    The tear tracks that run down
    our cheeks are shooting stars
[03:23] ---
    We're going to grab hold of them
[03:30] ---
    "Aping the Frown of Beauty"
    This one's name is "Mechadra."
[03:32] ---
    "Aping the Frown of Beauty"
    It's a mechanical dragon I made
    from monster components
[03:35] ---
    and mystery parts that
    I discovered in dungeons,
[03:39] ---
    patched onto a dragon skeleton.
[03:41] ---
    Going off of "monster components"
    and "dungeon mystery parts,"
[03:45] ---
    I can't help but have
    a bad feeling about this.
[03:48] ---
    This isn't going to
    start rampaging, is it?
[03:51] ---
    There's no way it could rampage.
    It doesn't even move in the first place.
[03:55] ---
    Huh? It doesn't?
[03:57] ---
    Of course not. There's no critical
    system to relay orders to each part.
[04:03] ---
    In that case, why did you make it?
[04:05] ---
    I made it as an experiment to study
    how the joints of living things work.
[04:11] ---
    See? The motion itself is this smooth.
[04:15] ---
    It doesn't take any strength
    at all to move it.
[04:18] ---
    Yeah, that's amazing. It's amazing, but...
[04:21] ---
    G-Genia, what kind of
    monstrosity did you make?
[04:24] ---
    If the Star Dragon Mountain Range
    finds out about this,
[04:26] ---
    it could become an international incident.
[04:28] ---
    It could?
[04:30] ---
    When we get back, let's send a letter of
    apology to the Star Dragon Mountain Range.
[04:33] ---
    Right. We might have to rebury the bones,
    or have them sent back there.
[04:39] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[04:51] ---
    Whoa, King! Did you do something?!
[04:53] ---
    Souma, you used your
    Living Poltergeist, huh?
[04:57] ---
    Yeah, I was just a little curious.
[05:02] ---
    I knew it! My calculations were correct!
[05:05] ---
    Lu, take a look at how
    the movements just flow!
[05:08] ---
    That's not what the issue is here!
[05:11] ---
    And as for you, Your Majesty, moving
    around a mechanical dragon like that
[05:14] ---
    can only be taken as
    a threat to other nations!
[05:20] ---
    Still, can it even be weaponized?
[05:23] ---
    Does the Mechadra have any armaments?
[05:25] ---
    Not even I am crazy enough
    to deliberately arm a model.
[05:31] ---
    Which means that there
    really isn't any way to use it.
[05:34] ---
    It sucks to have something that
    other countries would be wary of,
[05:37] ---
    but have it be completely useless,
    doesn't it?
[05:43] ---
    For now, we will treat the Mechadra
    as a top-secret internal matter,
[05:47] ---
    and keep it locked down tight
    until we hear
[05:49] ---
    from the Star Dragon Mountain Range.
[05:50] ---
    Huh?
[05:51] ---
    Consider yourself lucky you
    aren't being thrown into a cell!
[05:54] ---
    Genia Maxwell, we're going to build
    a state research lab for you.
[05:58] ---
    I'll leave the theme of your
    research there up to you.
[06:01] ---
    Do you mean it?
[06:02] ---
    However, you'll have to provide
    ten percent of the research funding.
[06:06] ---
    Ten percent? As the one who has been
    paying for all her research up to now,
[06:11] ---
    I would be grateful if you
    would pay the whole amount.
[06:14] ---
    What if I did pay the whole amount?
[06:16] ---
    There's no telling what
    she'd start researching.
[06:24] ---
    The Poncho Bridge got demolished.
[06:27] ---
    Huh? But that was convenient
    when I had to go shopping.
[06:30] ---
    Things have been a lot stricter
    since Prince Julius returned.
[06:33] ---
    The Gemstone Broadcasts
    have been prohibited, too.
[06:36] ---
    And food is now being rationed. I don't
    have enough to feed my children.
[06:42] ---
    Word going around is that those rations
    are going to get reduced even more.
[06:45] ---
    Huh?
[06:47] ---
    Aw, I wish His Majesty Souma
    would occupy us again.
[06:55] ---
    There are a lot of complaints
    among the people?
[06:59] ---
    That's just because I've returned lax
    public morals to the way they were.
[07:02] ---
    They say a breach in the levee
    starts with one ant hole, right?
[07:05] ---
    The people will get too puffed up
    if we don't clamp down on them.
[07:08] ---
    If they want to blame someone,
[07:09] ---
    they can blame Elfrieden for
    demanding so much in reparations.
[07:12] ---
    Don't blame the state;
    that's barking up the wrong tree.
[07:17] ---
    What is it?
[07:21] ---
    Huddles, Lord of Galua, isn't it?
[07:24] ---
    Your Highness, please help!
    There's been an uprising!
[07:29] ---
    What?
[07:30] ---
    As you know, Galua is on
    the outskirts of the country.
[07:33] ---
    We have little food, and some of my
    people have even starved to death.
[07:38] ---
    Their discontent has exploded.
[07:41] ---
    Hmph, as I recall, Lord Huddles,
[07:44] ---
    you refused to put your
    trust in the young prince,
[07:47] ---
    and instead reinforced your
    own soldiers, did you not?
[07:50] ---
    You can go ahead and defend yourself.
[07:52] ---
    But Your Highness!
    The longer the riots continue,
[07:55] ---
    the more discord will spread to
    other quarters of the principality!
[07:58] ---
    Besides, if you make
    a show of strength now...
[08:03] ---
    Hmm...
[08:05] ---
    I am now taking lead of all of our forces
    and putting down the rebellion in Galua!
[08:14] ---
    King, play with us!
[08:16] ---
    King!
[08:18] ---
    Your Majesty, I'm happy that you are
    here entertaining Rou and the others,
[08:22] ---
    but aren't you too busy for this?
[08:23] ---
    It's all right. I don't have a whole
    lot of work at the moment.
[08:27] ---
    Is that right?
[08:29] ---
    Then you can play with him
    all you like, Rou!
[08:32] ---
    Right!
[08:34] ---
    Now cut that out!
[08:36] ---
    This is quite the sight, Master.
[08:40] ---
    Oh, you're the last one to
    be calling me out, Carla.
[08:48] ---
    You look so out of place
    in a maid outfit it's scary.
[08:51] ---
    Please don't say that!
    That's what I think, myself.
[08:55] ---
    Isn't that skirt awfully short on you?
[08:58] ---
    Please don't stare!
[09:00] ---
    Th-The head chambermaid
    told me to wear this.
[09:04] ---
    Ah, so this is what Serina likes.
[09:07] ---
    Have you finished your
    chambermaid training yet?
[09:10] ---
    Tr-Training?
[09:12] ---
    Wh-What happened?
[09:14] ---
    She... She whipped me, with a real whip.
[09:18] ---
    A whip?
[09:19] ---
    What's more, since it was a special whip,
    enchanted with magic,
[09:23] ---
    it didn't leave a mark on me,
    even where it hit me.
[09:27] ---
    The whip is love. Love must be accepted.
[09:35] ---
    If Carla, whom even Gaius
    himself trained, is afraid of her,
[09:39] ---
    how bad must she be?
[09:41] ---
    Carla...
[09:42] ---
    Yes?!
[09:43] ---
    I thought I asked you to make up
    His Majesty's bed in his office.
[09:47] ---
    C-Collecting the sheets of a man
    I know is asking too much.
[09:52] ---
    What are you talking about?
    If you are a chambermaid,
[09:56] ---
    then in due time, when His Majesty and
    the princess engage in [...],
[09:58] ---
    and [...] their [...],
[10:00] ---
    --L-Let's all go play over there, okay?
    --you're going to have to make up
    their soaking-wet bed
[10:02] ---
    --Okay.
    --Okay.
    --you're going to have to make up
    their soaking-wet bed
[10:03] ---
    like it was no concern of yours at all.
[10:09] ---
    I see. So, did they put down the uprising?
[10:14] ---
    Yes. They suppressed them
    in a fairly brutal manner,
[10:17] ---
    probably to make an example of them.
[10:20] ---
    That's the wrong way to use brutality.
[10:24] ---
    That is only going to make
    public discontent increase.
[10:27] ---
    Hakuya, what does
    the emissary from Van say?
[10:31] ---
    The people's representative
    from Van gave me this.
[10:38] ---
    "We, the people of Van, express allegiance
    to the Kingdom of Elfrieden,
[10:43] ---
    and request reinforcements"?!
[10:51] ---
    Souma, was this something you figured on?
[10:54] ---
    I'll admit, I expected some movement.
[10:57] ---
    But I can't determine what conclusion
    the people of Van will come to.
[11:02] ---
    However, now that we have
    received a formal request,
[11:05] ---
    the kingdom will accept it
    and send reinforcements.
[11:17] ---
    Damn it! I never thought Van, of all
    places--the city where I was born--
[11:22] ---
    would betray me and start wagging
    its tail for that despicable Souma!
[11:29] ---
    I bring word that the grand
    nobleman Lord Cutlass
[11:32] ---
    appears to have risen up to overthrow
    the Amidonian royal family.
[11:36] ---
    He's what?!
[11:39] ---
    Lord Schadler, who took in
    the people who fled from Galua,
[11:42] ---
    now defies our request for their return,
[11:44] ---
    and is rising up in revolt
    against Your Highness!
[11:46] ---
    The faction of nobles loyal
    to Roroa are banding together
[11:49] ---
    and demanding Your Highness's abdication!
[11:51] ---
    Lord Schadler?!
[11:53] ---
    He's rebelling?
[11:54] ---
    The people are rising up
    and moving on Galua!
[11:57] ---
    What... is happening?
[12:03] ---
    I see, so Julius's forces have fallen.
[12:08] ---
    It would be simply impossible
    to put down rebellions like these,
[12:11] ---
    when they come about all at once.
[12:14] ---
    Julius has allegedly taken a small force
    with him and fled to the empire.
[12:18] ---
    So far, everything is going
    as we expected...
[12:22] ---
    ...but haven't they gone
    a little too well?
[12:24] ---
    Watching the way that all of
    these uncoordinated rebellions
[12:27] ---
    have come about in unison the way they
    have is something we never counted on.
[12:31] ---
    The "some other will at work"
    that you mentioned?
[12:44] ---
    After the expulsion of Julius, Amidonia
    became a state without a leader.
[12:49] ---
    Seeking to take advantage of this
[12:50] ---
    were the Lunarian Orthodox
    Papal State to the north,
[12:54] ---
    and the Republic of Turgis to the south.
[12:57] ---
    "Mercenary State Zem"
[12:58] ---
    "Mercenary State Zem"
    The Mercenary State Zem to the west
[13:00] ---
    "Mercenary State Zem"
    showed no sign of invading, in order
    to maintain their perpetual neutrality,
[13:04] ---
    but did send mercenaries
    to the other two countries.
[13:08] ---
    "Lunarian Orthodox Papal State"
[13:08] ---
    "Lunarian Orthodox Papal State"
    The Lunarian Orthodox Papal State
[13:10] ---
    is home to the Lunarian Orthodox Church,
[13:12] ---
    which worships the moon goddess Lunaria,
[13:15] ---
    and is a religious movement whose pope
    presides over both church and state.
[13:20] ---
    In response to the rebellion
    in the Principality of Amidonia,
[13:23] ---
    they dispatched forces along
    their border with Amidonia
[13:25] ---
    to defend the adherents
    within their nation.
[13:30] ---
    "Republic of Turgis"
[13:30] ---
    "Republic of Turgis"
    On the other hand, the Republic of Turgis
    was a bitterly cold land.
[13:34] ---
    "Republic of Turgis"
    The southern peninsula, in particular,
[13:36] ---
    "Republic of Turgis"
    was bound by ice and snow
    for most of the year,
[13:40] ---
    "Republic of Turgis"
    and any land where it does not
    snow is the envy of the nation.
[13:44] ---
    The principality is currently in disarray,
    and ripe for invasion.
[13:49] ---
    Luckily, the advance of the
    Republic of Turgis's forces
[13:52] ---
    was halted by the brave fighting
    of the aged General Herman
[13:55] ---
    who boasted a century of experience
    in war, and was the lord of Nelva,
[13:58] ---
    a fortified city in the south.
[14:00] ---
    However, there was no telling
    how long that would last.
[14:03] ---
    The Principality of Amidonia
    without its crown prince
[14:06] ---
    was now in an extremely
    precarious position.
[14:09] ---
    They want the Kingdom of Elfrieden
    to annex all of Amidonia?
[14:13] ---
    Yes, sire. A joint request from
    General Herman Neumann
[14:16] ---
    and the former finance minister,
    Gatsby Colbert,
[14:20] ---
    has been officially delivered.
[14:23] ---
    I guess it's only natural
[14:25] ---
    that they'd rather give themselves
    over to the kingdom
[14:28] ---
    than be divided up and conquered.
[14:29] ---
    If General Herman, the one
    who stopped Turgis in its tracks,
[14:32] ---
    and Colbert, the former finance
    minister, support annexation,
[14:36] ---
    then I doubt that anyone
    would oppose them.
[14:39] ---
    Hakuya, is this your "other will at work"?
[14:42] ---
    I cannot be certain, sire.
[14:44] ---
    So, what do we do?
[14:46] ---
    What do we do, you're asking me?
[14:49] ---
    There's a whole lot of downside
    to annexing Amidonia.
[14:52] ---
    Let's start by looking for the upside.
    Our population would increase,
[14:56] ---
    and in the long run,
    so would our national strength.
[15:00] ---
    Furthermore, Amidonia is rich
    in material resources,
[15:03] ---
    so we could look forward
    to a stable supply of those.
[15:09] ---
    Now for the downside.
    First, there's the food crisis.
[15:13] ---
    Things were going well
    in Van, weren't they?
[15:16] ---
    Van may be the capital,
    but it's only one city.
[15:18] ---
    When it comes to Amidonia as a whole,
[15:21] ---
    it's a lot to ask of our kingdom, when we
    just barely solved our own food crisis.
[15:28] ---
    On top of that, it was a hostile
    nation until just days ago,
[15:31] ---
    so governing it will be difficult.
[15:33] ---
    Up to now, the Union of Eastern Nations,
[15:35] ---
    the Principality of Amidonia,
    and the Republic of Turgis
[15:38] ---
    are the only nations that
    we've shared a border with,
[15:41] ---
    but now we'd have the Mercenary State Zem
[15:43] ---
    and the Lunarian Orthodox
    Papal State at our borders.
[15:46] ---
    The more countries we are adjacent to,
    the more difficult diplomacy becomes.
[15:51] ---
    Mm-hmm. Also, while I wasn't
    counting on them in the first place,
[15:56] ---
    if we annex Amidonia, we won't be
    receiving our war reparations any longer.
[16:03] ---
    Then we aren't annexing them?
[16:07] ---
    I'd prefer it if possible,
[16:09] ---
    but it seems that we have
    no choice but to agree.
[16:13] ---
    If we refuse, it will
    upset our justification
[16:15] ---
    that we integrated Van into the kingdom
    at the request of its people.
[16:21] ---
    Mm-hmm. While we can admit Van,
    we can't very well ignore the rest.
[16:27] ---
    Also, if the people of Van end up
    forsaking their countrymen,
[16:31] ---
    they will be disenchanted
    with the kingdom.
[16:33] ---
    If we leave them to the invading
    forces of the Republic of Turgis
[16:36] ---
    and the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State,
[16:39] ---
    our own country will be
    overrun with refugees.
[16:42] ---
    In that case, it's better to
    take them all in to begin with,
[16:45] ---
    and start looking after them.
    It may be a lot of work now,
[16:49] ---
    but in the long run,
    it's sure to be worth it.
[16:53] ---
    Seriously though, good grief.
[16:56] ---
    It is hereby decided that all of Amidonia
    is to be admitted into the kingdom,
[17:00] ---
    and all other nations are
    to be made aware of this.
[17:02] ---
    Yes, sire.
[17:03] ---
    The naval forces under Excel's command
[17:06] ---
    are to be sent alongside the border
    with the Republic of Turgis,
[17:09] ---
    where they will stand ready
    to attack at any time.
[17:13] ---
    And so, the territories of
    Amidonia were formally,
[17:17] ---
    as well as peacefully, annexed
    into the Kingdom of Elfrieden.
[17:24] ---
    Gatsby Colbert!
[17:26] ---
    Sire!
[17:28] ---
    Colbert, I commend you for bringing
    the people of Amidonia together.
[17:32] ---
    Without your efforts, this turmoil
    would have been prolonged,
[17:35] ---
    and the people of Amidonia would
    have suffered much misery.
[17:40] ---
    Your words are too kind, sire.
[17:42] ---
    Be that as it may, Your Majesty,
    I have something to deliver to you.
[17:49] ---
    These are the Principality of Amidonia's
[17:51] ---
    internal income and expenditure reports,
    as well as documentation of rights.
[17:55] ---
    They were kept in a safe place out
    of fear of losing them during the war.
[17:59] ---
    Whoa, hey, Julius was left in charge of
    running the principality without those?
[18:03] ---
    I kind of feel sorry for him now.
[18:06] ---
    That is a wonderful gift.
    Governing will be much easier now.
[18:10] ---
    However, you should take
    those back with you.
[18:15] ---
    Huh?
[18:16] ---
    Colbert, former finance minister of
    Amidonia, are you willing to serve me?
[18:23] ---
    Y-Yes, sire.
[18:25] ---
    You are hereby made finance minister
    of the Kingdom of Elfrieden,
[18:29] ---
    and charged with maintaining
    the nation's finances.
[18:31] ---
    Just a moment, please! Don't you mean
    overseeing Amidonia's finances?
[18:36] ---
    You are the finance minister
    for the Kingdom of Elfrieden.
[18:39] ---
    B-But sire, I am an Amidonian.
[18:43] ---
    It doesn't matter. Using whomever
    is useful, no matter who they are,
[18:47] ---
    is now the Elfrieden way.
[18:49] ---
    Y-Your Majesty...
[18:51] ---
    Amidonia was not very well-off as it was,
[18:54] ---
    and then had much of its budget taken
    for military expenses. Nonetheless,
[18:58] ---
    your skill in keeping the government
    from going bankrupt has been marvelous.
[19:02] ---
    You are the kind of person I want,
    by all means.
[19:05] ---
    Kingdom of Elfrieden
    Finance Minister Colbert,
[19:09] ---
    those documents will be
    the tools of your trade.
[19:13] ---
    Take them with you, and work
    to rebuild the lands of Amidonia.
[19:17] ---
    Y-Yes, sire. I understand.
[19:22] ---
    Herman Neumann!
[19:27] ---
    I commend you for stopping
    the army of the Republic of Turgis.
[19:30] ---
    Without your efforts, our relief efforts
    would not have been in time,
[19:34] ---
    and things would have been
    consumed in terrible chaos.
[19:36] ---
    Warriors are those who defend the people.
[19:39] ---
    That remains unchanged,
    whether there is a ruler or not.
[19:42] ---
    I only did what I had to do.
[19:49] ---
    I, too, have something I'd like
    to offer Your Majesty.
[19:53] ---
    However, once you receive it,
    I hope that you will not return it.
[20:01] ---
    The southern region of Amidonia
    has a thriving wool industry,
[20:04] ---
    and produces fine quality wool.
[20:07] ---
    These are bolts woven from that wool.
    I do hope that you will accept them.
[20:12] ---
    Ho... Do you mind if I
    look at them up close?
[20:16] ---
    As you please.
[20:24] ---
    It kind of feels like a carpeting, maybe.
[20:27] ---
    Hmm? Carpeting?
[20:31] ---
    A rug, given as a gift...
[20:33] ---
    Now why is it that it seems like
    I've heard of this set-up before?
[20:38] ---
    Tell me, Herman...
[20:40] ---
    What is it, sire?
[20:42] ---
    There wouldn't happen to be
    a woman hiding in these rugs?
[20:48] ---
    Huh?! Seriously?!
[20:55] ---
    No way, no way! This was gonna be
    the surprise of a lifetime!
[20:59] ---
    You're no fun!
[21:01] ---
    Leaping out, ready or not,
    ♪ bum-ba-ba-bum! ♪
[21:04] ---
    It's Roroa!
[21:08] ---
    Wait, what gave me away?
    I was sure you wouldn't be able to notice.
[21:12] ---
    Oh, there was a woman once in
    my world who did something similar.
[21:16] ---
    Gah! You mean I stole someone
    else's act? That's my screw-up.
[21:21] ---
    Incidentally, this woman
    was supposedly naked.
[21:24] ---
    What kind of woman was this? Some sicko?
[21:26] ---
    Actually, depending on how
    prominent you like your noses,
[21:30] ---
    it's said that she possessed a beauty
    that might have changed history.
[21:34] ---
    History could have changed
    because of the size of her nose?
[21:38] ---
    What are you, taking a shot at my breasts?
[21:40] ---
    So, um, may I call you "Roroa"?
    The sister of Julius?
[21:46] ---
    Sure. With these fine looks,
    having both brains and beauty,
[21:49] ---
    I'm the stone-wearingly stunningly
    attractive prettiest girl in Amidonia,
[21:54] ---
    Roroa! That's who I am!
[21:57] ---
    I am the daughter of the former
    Amidonian crown prince, Gaius VIII.
[22:01] ---
    My name is Roroa Amidonia.
[22:04] ---
    And what, exactly, would
    Princess Roroa be doing here?
[22:10] ---
    I'm here to get married to you.
[22:13] ---
    Oh, you're here to marry me.
[22:16] ---
    Wait, huh?!
[22:29] ---
    "What are we supposed to choose?"
[22:33] ---
    Our voices imploring the future are hoarse
[22:38] ---
    We've become so afraid
    of what we could lose
[22:44] ---
    that we're just frozen in place
[22:49] ---
    How many times have we made mistakes
[22:53] ---
    because we wanted to check our "answers"?
[22:59] ---
    Before we knew it we were in love,
    we had fallen in love
[23:07] ---
    I'll hold fast to you
    in the times we're in
[23:11] ---
    We who set alight
    our finite lives to fight
[23:17] ---
    are noble and beautiful above all
[23:22] ---
    As long as we create
    as many bright tomorrows
[23:26] ---
    as the indelible wounds we suffer,
[23:31] ---
    we can be proud of all
    we've woven together
