[00:06] Cecilia
    Yes?
[00:08] Lawrence
    Good morning, Lady Saint.
[00:10] Lawrence
    I'm coming in.
[00:13] Cecilia
    All right.
[00:19] Lawrence
    Look. The weather is nice again today.
[00:22] Cecilia
    It's cold. I can't leave my bed.
[00:25] Lawrence
    I've made the rooms
    downstairs nice and warm.
[00:41] Cecilia
    I can see Lawren!
[00:44] Lawrence
    H-Hurry up and come downstairs, please.
[00:48] Cecilia
    I will.
[00:55] Lawrence; internal
    Since then, every once in a while...
[00:58] Lawrence; internal
    I don't understand the lady saint.

[02:39] Abel
    Today, I'm supposed to go
    to the church in the afternoon, right?
[02:43] Abel
    Maybe I'll go back to sleep
    until the lady summons me.
[02:55] Hazelita
    Good morning, Abel.
[02:57] Abel
    What is it?
[02:58] Hazelita
    I've had my studying things sent here.
[03:01] Hazelita
    I just thought I'd have
    you help me unpack them.
[03:04] Abel
    I don't mind,
[03:06] Abel
    but every time you pound
    on the wall to summon me,
[03:08] Abel
    things in my room fall down.
[03:11] Hazelita
    They fall down in my room, too!
[03:13] Abel
    That means you should knock on the door.
[03:16] Hazelita
    Those two...
[03:18] Hazelita
    I wonder if our absence
    has allowed them to grow any closer.
[03:23] Abel
    No idea.
[03:24] Abel
    They're just going back
    to the way things were, after all.
[03:28] Hazelita
    That's it! That face!
[03:30] Hazelita
    Whenever I speak about those
    two this way, you make that face.
[03:35] Abel
    What?
[03:36] Hazelita
    I know that it isn't something that
    the people around them should meddle in,
[03:40] Hazelita
    but I can't help wondering if you don't
    really care what happens to them.
[03:44] Abel
    I think it's best to leave
    them alone, that's all.
[03:47] Abel
    It's something the two of them
    have to figure out anyway.
[03:50] Hazelita
    I do realize that's the best thing to do,
[03:54] Hazelita
    but given it's those two, they may
    still be like this ten years from now.
[04:00] Hazelita
    Are you all right with that?
[04:01] Hazelita
    For your friend to spend ten
    years of his life as a fool?
[04:08] Abel; internal
    When I really think about it...
[04:10] Abel; internal
    if those two stay together
    like this for years,
[04:13] Abel; internal
    Saint Cecilia will keep
    protecting Lawrence...
[04:17] Abel; internal
    I think that'd be just fine.
[04:20] Abel; internal
    It'd be fine, but...
[04:22] Abel; internal
    But that isn't really what
    Saint Cecilia is hoping for.
[04:27] Abel; internal
    Guess there's no helping it.
[04:28] Abel; internal
    Maybe I'll try stepping in.
[04:34] Lawrence
    Oh, come on. If you're here, then help out.
[04:37] Abel
    First, I'm having a cup of tea.
[04:39] Lawrence
    Honestly.
[04:40] Lawrence
    Well, I did come here to take a break,
    so I can't be upset with you.
[04:44] Abel
    Oh, those sweets...
[04:46] Abel
    Earlier, Saint Cecilia was eating them
    while sparkling and spinning around.
[04:49] Abel
    Is that how she sneaks snacks?
[04:52] Lawrence
    Please don't tell the congregation
    about things like that.
[04:57] Abel
    Oh, right. Lawrence?
[04:59] Abel
    I heard that you called Saint Cecilia
    by name in the town to the west.
[05:04] Lawrence
    H-How do you...
[05:06] Abel
    Mister Giselbert told me
    with quite a smug look on his face.
[05:09] Lawrence
    That man...
[05:11] Lawrence
    W-Well, I can't call her
    "Lady Saint" in other towns, can I?
[05:15] Abel
    You have no hesitation
    at all in entering her room,
[05:18] Abel
    so why is it that you dislike
    the idea of calling her by name so much?
[05:21] Lawrence
    It isn't that I don't
    want to call her by name.
[05:24] Lawrence
    Ever since we first met,
    I've been calling her Lady Saint, so...
[05:29] Lawrence
    Calling her by name
    after all this time is...
[05:31] Lawrence
    Well, it's embarrassing, isn't it?
[05:33] Abel
    I've never understood you,
    but I understand you even less now.
[05:38] Abel
    The lady herself is happy
    when you call her by name, isn't she?
[05:41] Lawrence
    I-I told her that I'd work hard
    at calling her by name.
[05:44] Lawrence
    I do want to do things
    that will make the lady saint happy.
[05:50] Lawrence; background
    What are you making me say right now?
[05:51] Abel; internal
    He didn't used to be the type to fret
    over things like this.
[05:53] Lawrence; background
    But if it makes
    the lady saint happy, then...
[05:56] Abel; internal
    The fact that he's different now...
[06:00] Abel; internal
    probably means that his meeting Saint Cecilia
    was a big moment in his life.
[06:06] Abel
    You've changed.
[06:08] Lawrence
    I can't say I enjoy being
    told that out of nowhere.
[06:10] Lawrence
    In fact, it's irritating.
[06:14] Cecilia
    This is where you two were!
[06:16] Hazelita
    Abel, are you slacking off again?
[06:19] Abel
    I'm taking a break.
[06:20] Lawrence
    I've just made tea. Would you like some?
[06:23] Cecilia
    I'll have some! I'll take a break now!
[06:25] Hazelita
    I'll have some, too.
[06:27] Lawrence
    Lady Saint, please snack only in moderation.
[06:31] Cecilia
    But they just looked so delicious!
[06:36] kids; background
    Wait up! You're too fast!
[06:38] Hazelita
    So, how did it go?
[06:42] Hazelita
    Did you have a proper talk with Lawrence?
[06:44] Abel
    It seems like he's trying
    hard in his own way.
[06:48] Hazelita
    What?
[06:49] Abel
    I'm not interested in pestering
    someone who's trying hard,
[06:52] Abel
    so I'm going to stick to just
    watching over them after all.
[06:56] Hazelita
    What? What do you—
[06:57] boy
    Pastor Abel!
[06:59] Abel
    Coming!
[07:00] Hazelita
    Hold on!
[07:02] Hazelita
    Honestly.
[07:04] Lawrence
    Ce... Ce... Ceci...
[07:09] Lawrence
    I can't do it.
[07:10] Lawrence
    And I can't imagine the sight of the lady saint
    being happy because I called her by name.
[07:16] Lawrence
    She seems happier when she's eating scones.
[07:21] Lawrence
    She was happy the first time
    she ate them, wasn't she?
[07:23] Cecilia
    Oh, please wait.
[07:26] kids; adlib; background
    Over here, Lady Saint! Hurry up!
[07:26] Lawrence; internal
    Ever since we met,
    she's always been the lady saint.
[07:32] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Let's see. The next place
    I'll be visiting is...
[07:35] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Please listen!
[07:39] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Won't anyone please destroy this bridge?
[07:41] (Flashback) Cecilia
    When the heavy rains come,
    terrible things will happen.
[07:45] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Please!
[07:46] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Rain?
[07:47] (Flashback) lady
    That girl has been doing that for hours now.
[07:50] (Flashback) man
    Do you think we should
    call someone over about it?
[07:53] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Excuse me, you—
[07:54] (Flashback) boy
    Pastor!
[07:57] (Flashback) boy
    So this is where you are!
[07:59] (Flashback) boy
    My mom is waiting for you.
[08:00] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Oh! I'm sorry.
[08:02] (Flashback) boy
    She said she baked some sweets today.
[08:04] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I see.
[08:06] (Flashback) Cecilia
    E-Excuse me?
[08:09] (Flashback) boy
    Pastor?
[08:10] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Y-Yes.
[08:16] Lawrence; internal
    I don't think there's any record
    of heavy rains in this village.
[08:23] (Flashback) Lawrence
    This is...
[08:25] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Then, won't it turn out
    just as that girl said?
[08:38] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I thought so!
[08:39] (Flashback) Lawrence
    We might really get heavy rains here.
[08:46] Lawrence; internal
    If a huge amount of rain does fall...
[08:48] Lawrence; internal
    and sediment and large trees are swept
    from the mountains into the village...
[08:52] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Who could that girl possibly be?
[08:56] (Flashback) Grandpa
    Lady saints protect the people.
[09:01] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Could it be?
[09:03] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Please. Please destroy this bridge.
[09:07] (Flashback) villager 1
    You say that,
[09:08] (Flashback) villager 1
    but this is a peaceful village
    where we don't get flood damage.
[09:12] (Flashback) villager 2
    More important right now,
    you're swaying on your feet.
[09:14] (Flashback) villager 2
    Are you all right?
[09:15] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Don't worry about me.
[09:17] (Flashback) Cecilia
    More important is that
    we're running out of time...
[09:22] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Whoa!
[09:23] (Flashback) villagers
    Pastor! Pastor...
[09:25] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Are you all right?
[09:26] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Y-Yes.
[09:27] (Flashback) Lawrence
    You say we're running out of time.
[09:29] (Flashback) Lawrence
    How much do we have left?
[09:33] (Flashback) Cecilia
    U-Um...
[09:35] (Flashback) Cecilia
    As soon as possible, this bridge—
[09:38] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Ow...
[09:40] (Flashback) Lawrence
    You aren't hurt, are you?
[09:49] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Are you... a lady saint?
[09:54] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Yes.
[09:56] (Flashback) Cecilia
    As someone who receives
    divine revelations from God,
[09:59] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I've been led here to save
    this village from calamity.
[10:02] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I am a lady saint.
[10:05] (Flashback) villagers; background
    A lady saint? Did you hear that?
[10:08] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Please, I beg you.
[10:08] villagers; background
    She says she's a lady saint. Is it true?
[10:09] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Please, believe me.
[10:11] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I want to protect this village!
[10:16] (Flashback) Lawrence
    All right.
[10:19] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I believe you.
[10:21] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Let's demolish the bridge.
[10:33] (Flashback) Lawrence
    This way.
[10:34] (Flashback) Cecilia
    It's all right.
[10:49] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Lady Saint!
[10:51] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Is the village...
[10:54] (Flashback) Lawrence
    It's safe!
[10:56] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I'm so glad!
[10:58] (Flashback) Lawrence
    It's because you told us what
    to do, Lady Saint.
[11:02] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I wasn't able to convey anything
    to the people of this village on my own.
[11:08] (Flashback) Cecilia
    This is all thanks to the fact
    that you were here.
[11:12] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Thank you for believing in me.
[11:17] Lawrence; internal
    She'd arrived so suddenly.
[11:19] Lawrence; internal
    Her voice was hoarse from using it
    for the sake of the villagers,
[11:23] Lawrence; internal
    and she was illuminated
    by an angelic glow..
[11:27] Lawrence; internal
    She was exactly what my
    grandpa had told me about.
[11:30] Lawrence; internal
    A lady saint who protects the people.
[11:35] (Flashback) villagers
    Pastor! Lady Saint!
[11:38] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Everyone!
[11:40] (Flashback) Lawrence
    The village is safe!
[11:43] (Flashback) villagers
    Thank you! It's all
    thanks to you, Lady Saint!
[11:45] (Flashback) villagers
    You saved us! You are our village's savior!
[11:48] (Flashback) boy
    Lady Saint, are you going to go home now?
[11:51] (Flashback) girl
    Stay here forever.
[11:53] (Flashback) villager D
    I know this is rude of me,
[11:54] (Flashback) villager D
    but if you wouldn't mind,
    won't you stay here a little longer?
[11:56] (Flashback) villager E
    Yes! We want to repay our debt to you!
[11:59] (Flashback) villager F
    Are you going to go home already?
[12:02] (Flashback) Cecilia
    I have nowhere to go home to.
[12:07] (Flashback) villager E
    Really?
[12:08] (Flashback) villager F
    In that case, why don't you
    live here at this church?
[12:11] (Flashback) Lawrence; Cecilia
    What?
[12:12] (Flashback) villager E
    Lady Saint, if you stayed here it would
    be easy for us to come and see you!
[12:13] villagers; background; adlib
    This is a nice place!
[12:15] villagers; background; adlib
    I think staying here at
    the church would be the best thing!
[12:17] (Flashback) villager E
    And the pastor has been looking
    after you here, hasn't he?
[12:17] villagers; background; adlib
    That's a wonderful idea!
[12:19] (Flashback) Lawrence
    That's true, but...
[12:21] (Flashback) girl
    I want the lady saint to stay here forever!
[12:29] (Flashback) Lawrence
    There!
[12:30] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Lady Saint?
[12:32] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Y-Yes?
[12:33] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I've made a snack. Would you like some?
[12:40] (Flashback) Cecilia
    What is this snack called?
[12:43] (Flashback) Lawrence
    They're scones.
[12:45] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Scones.
[12:47] (Flashback) Cecilia
    This is the first time I've eaten them.
[12:54] Lawrence; internal
    Ever since we met, I've tried
    to protect her in my own way.
[12:55] kids; adlib; background
    I like it! What do you think?
[13:01] Cecilia; background
    It's very cute.
[13:01] Lawrence; internal
    Because she's a lady saint.
[13:03] kids; adlib; background
    What do you think? Look at mine!
[13:08] Lawrence; internal
    But that isn't the only reason... is it?
[13:15] Cecilia
    It's more fun eating together, isn't it?
[13:18] Abel
    We went to the trouble of moving out,
[13:20] Abel
    but we end up eating here almost every day.
[13:24] Cecilia
    There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
[13:26] Cecilia
    Please come every day!
[13:27] Lawrence
    Since the lady saint says so, please, do!
[13:30] Abel
    But you know,
[13:32] Abel
    when it's really cold,
    going outside is such a bother.
[13:35] Cecilia
    The cold is very cruel.
[13:38] Hazelita
    Cecilia, you don't like the winter?
[13:41] Cecilia
    You could say I don't like it...
[13:42] Cecilia
    but it's more that I can't come out
    from under the covers in the mornings.
[13:45] Hazelita
    That... isn't just during
    the winter, though, is it?
[13:50] Cecilia
    You're right...
[13:52] Abel
    Thanks for the meal.
[13:53] Hazelita
    We'll see you again.
[13:55] Cecilia
    Be careful on your way!
[13:56] Lawrence
    Good night!
[14:03] Lawrence
    Lady Saint, will you come
    with me for a moment?
[14:18] Lawrence
    It's an attic.
[14:20] Cecilia
    It was there? I had no idea.
[14:24] Lawrence
    Climb up, but please be careful.
[14:26] Cecilia
    I will!
SIGN    I can't move any more...
SIGN    A memory.
[14:45] Cecilia
    I didn't know there was a room like this.
[14:47] Lawrence
    It isn't used, normally,
[14:49] Lawrence
    but I tidy up in here, so it should be clean.
[14:52] Cecilia
    Really?
[14:54] Cecilia
    But why did you bring me here?
[15:03] Cecilia
    Lawren! The sky! The stars!
[15:06] Cecilia
    They're so beautiful!
[15:08] Lawrence
    Lady Saint, you said
    that the cold is cruel, didn't you?
[15:13] Cecilia
    Yes.
[15:14] Lawrence
    The reason this starry sky is so beautiful
    is because of the cold winter.
[15:20] Lawrence
    I wanted to show you
    that it has a good side to it, too.
[15:25] Lawrence
    I do realize that
    I'm being meddlesome, but I...
[15:30] Cecilia
    Lawren.
[15:33] Cecilia
    I'm largely ignorant of the world.
[15:37] Cecilia
    I lived for so long holed up in that forest,
[15:41] Cecilia
    I had no idea that the sky of the cold,
    cruel winter was this beautiful.
[15:50] Lawrence; internal
    I don't know anything about the lady saint
    from before we met either...
[15:55] Lawrence; internal
    even though we've lived
    together for so long now...
[15:57] Lawrence; internal
    even though I want to protect her.
[16:00] Lawrence
    Lady Saint, will you tell me
    more about yourself?
[16:04] Cecilia
    What?
[16:05] Cecilia
    What's this all of a sudden?
[16:08] Lawrence
    I thought that I'd like to know more.
[16:11] Lawrence
    More about you, Lady Saint.
[16:14] Lawrence
    Will you tell me?
[16:18] Cecilia
    Yes.
[16:20] Cecilia
    For lady saints,
[16:21] Cecilia
    there are moments when we hear God's voice
    and receive divine revelation.
[16:26] Cecilia
    For me,
[16:27] Cecilia
    when I was so young that I may or
    may not have been aware of my surroundings,
[16:31] Cecilia
    God's voice resounded in my mind.
[16:35] Cecilia
    I suddenly loved all people,
    and I wanted to save them.
[16:38] Cecilia
    Inside me, the whole world
    changed in an instant.
[16:42] Cecilia
    Ever since then, I've been a lady saint.
[16:47] Cecilia
    And then, when I was old enough
    that I conscious of the world around me,
[16:52] Cecilia
    I lived with my grandmother
    in a house tucked away in the woods,
[16:55] Cecilia
    just the two of us.
[16:58] Cecilia
    My grandmother taught me everything I needed
    to know about being a lady saint.
[17:03] Cecilia
    She gave me so much love.
[17:05] Cecilia
    I think the days we spent together
    were very peaceful.
[17:09] Cecilia
    Then, one day...
[17:12] (Flashback) young Cecilia
    Grandmother?
[17:15] Cecilia
    ...my grandmother passed away.
[17:18] Cecilia
    On the night of that day,
    when I became all alone...
[17:23] Cecilia
    I had a dream.
[17:36] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Oh, no!
[17:45] Cecilia
    That dream...
[17:47] Cecilia
    told me of my duty as a lady saint.
[17:53] Cecilia
    In order to save the people of that village,
[17:55] Cecilia
    I left the forest.
[17:58] Cecilia
    And so I told everyone.
[18:01] Cecilia
    "Soon there will be heavy rains."
[18:03] Cecilia
    "If this bridge isn't destroyed,
    the village will flood."
[18:07] Cecilia
    I told them...
[18:09] Cecilia
    but...
[18:11] Cecilia
    I couldn't convince anyone, and
    I was nearing the end of my strength.
[18:16] Cecilia
    That's when...
[18:25] Cecilia
    I met you.
[18:28] (Flashback) villager 3
    Pastor?
[18:29] (Flashback) villager 4
    Destroy the bridge?
[18:31] (Flashback) villager 4
    That isn't something
    that can be easily done.
[18:33] (Flashback) villager 2
    And, a lady saint?
[18:36] (Flashback) Lawrence
    My grandfather, Pastor Oswell,
[18:39] (Flashback) Lawrence
    had one teaching he wanted me
    to preserve above all others.
[18:43] (Flashback) villager 4
    Mister Oswell did?
[18:44] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Yes.
[18:46] (Flashback) Lawrence
    He said that lady saints protect the people,
[18:48] (Flashback) Lawrence
    but that's only possible
    because we protect them, too.
[18:54] (Flashback) Lawrence
    My grandfather continued to tell me
    that right up until the end.
[18:58] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I want to put my trust in him
    and in the lady saint,
[19:01] (Flashback) Lawrence
    someone he wished to protect.
[19:03] (Flashback) Lawrence
    When it comes to this bridge,
    if nothing happens,
[19:06] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I'll take responsibility for it.
[19:08] (Flashback) Lawrence
    So please, won't you take the lady
    saint's words under serious consideration?
[19:15] (Flashback) villager 4
    Well, if it's one of
    Mister Oswell's teachings,
[19:18] (Flashback) villager 4
    then we villagers have to follow it, right?
[19:21] (Flashback) villager 1
    That's true.
[19:22] (Flashback) villager 1
    We can't make young Lawrence shoulder all
    the responsibility, can we?
[19:25] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Everyone...
[19:27] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Th-Thank you so much!
[19:30] (Flashback) Lawrence
    Being believed...
[19:32] (Flashback) Lawrence
    it makes me feel a little relieved.
[19:34] (Flashback) Lawrence
    How about you, Lady Saint?
[19:38] (Flashback) Cecilia
    Y-Yes!
[19:42] Cecilia
    Back then, it was you who found me, Lawren.
[19:46] Lawrence
    Found you?
[19:48] Cecilia
    The first person to believe
    that I was a lady saint was you, Lawren.
[19:54] Lawrence
    Was I?
[19:56] Cecilia
    Yes!
[19:57] Cecilia
    And after coming here to live with you,
[20:00] Cecilia
    I'm not lonely anymore.
[20:02] Lawrence
    What?
[20:03] Cecilia
    Living with my grandmother
    when I was a child, I was very happy,
[20:08] Cecilia
    but my grandmother wasn't always home,
    so I was lonely sometimes.
[20:13] Cecilia
    That's why, getting to live with you,
    Lawren, makes me very happy.
[20:21] Lawrence
    I was alone, too.
[20:24] Lawrence
    After my grandfather died.
[20:28] Cecilia
    Hazelita said something to me before.
[20:32] (Flashback) Hazelita
    It is, of course,
[20:33] (Flashback) Hazelita
    because I want every lady saint
    to find happiness as a woman, too.
[20:38] Lawrence
    Happiness...
[20:40] Cecilia
    I am very happy, Lawren.
[20:44] Cecilia
    Lawren, are you...
[20:51] Cecilia
    The stars are beautiful, aren't they?
[20:54] Lawrence
    Yes.
[20:58] Lawrence; internal
    The lady saint thinks
    of herself as happy here.
[21:04] Lawrence; internal
    So am I.
[21:06] Lawrence; internal
    This irreplaceable time we spend
    together, I hope it goes on for—
[21:17] Lawrence
    Shall we head back down?
[21:18] Lawrence
    I'm sorry to keep you so late.
[21:23] Lawrence
    Huh?
[21:25] Cecilia
    Lawren, your hands are so warm, aren't they?
[21:30] Lawrence
    Your blankets will be even warmer!
[21:33] Lawrence
    Please go ahead and go down first.
[21:35] Cecilia
    Thank you.
[21:37] Cecilia
    Good night.
[21:38] Lawrence
    Good night.
[21:47] Lawrence; internal
    I need the lady saint,
    and I want to be together forever.
[21:52] Lawrence; internal
    If the lady saint ever felt
    the same way, then...
[21:59] Lawrence
    What is it? What is this feeling?
SIGN    This is from a little before Cecilia arrived.
[23:33] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I've made too much again.
[23:36] (Flashback) Lawrence
    I won't be able to eat all of this alone.
