[00:07] Giselbert     You are even more     overprotective than I've heard. [00:10] Giselbert     I am Giselbert Aldridge. [00:12] Giselbert     It seems my little sister, Hazelita,     has imposed on you quite a bit. [00:18] Lawrence     You're Miss Hazelita's older brother? [00:21] Giselbert     Has Hazelita told you about me? [00:23] Lawrence     If I had to say one or the other,     it was Abel who told us. [00:26] Giselbert     Well, that's a sad thing. [00:28] Giselbert     By the way, the lady     there seems to have melted. [00:34] Lawrence     Sai— Um... what's wrong? [00:38] Cecilia     My name. [00:40] Cecilia     You called me by my     name just then, and yet... [00:46] Giselbert     It seems the pastor and     the lady saint are on very good terms. [00:49] Lawrence     May I ask that you keep the fact that     she is a lady saint as secret as possible? [00:55] Giselbert     If that's how things stand... [00:57] Giselbert     then let's continue our     conversation at the mansion. SIGN    Episode 8 SIGN    Frederica's Bequest [02:36] Hazelita     You took Cecilia's hand? [02:39] Hazelita     Of all the things to do. [02:40] Hazelita     You're unbelievable, Brother. [02:42] Abel     A foolish action like that...     It's no wonder Lawrence was wary of you. [02:46] Giselbert     You're both being very harsh. [02:48] Giselbert     Hazelita, we haven't seen     each other in so long. [02:51] Giselbert     It's all right to be sweet to me! [02:55] Eric     Oh. You have the same color hair, don't you? [02:57] Giselbert     Indeed we do! [02:58] Giselbert     We siblings have inherited     this hair color from our mother! [03:02] Giselbert     Matching one's little sister... [03:04] Giselbert     It's just wonderful, don't you think? [03:05] Hazelita     I suppose I'll introduce you properly. [03:08] Hazelita     This is my older brother,     and the person who hired Abel, Giselbert. [03:13] Hazelita     Our parents are on an official trip,     so they aren't here. [03:15] Hazelita     He's the master of this     place in their stead. [03:17] Eric     Is this what they call a sister compl— [03:19] Lawrence     As a formal introduction,     my name is Lawrence. [03:22] Lawrnece     I take care of the lady saint's every need. [03:25] Lawrence     So, every interaction with     the lady saint must go through me first. [03:31] Giselbert     What's this? [03:32] Giselbert     Now, please don't be so on your guard. [03:34] Giselbert     My little sister hasn't     ever brought friends over. [03:37] Giselbert     It makes me so happy. [03:38] Giselbert     Please relax here for the next few days. [03:41] Giselbert     You are very welcome. [03:46] Giselbert     For now, shall we have dinner? [03:49] Lawrence     How extravagant! [03:50] Abel     He just makes a big deal     of everything, that's all. [03:54] Abel     Phew, I ate so much. [03:57] Giselbert     Abel! [03:58] Abel     Huh? [03:59] Giselbert     Hazelita seems to have completely     opened up to the two of them. [04:02] Abel     Yes, she has. [04:04] Abel     She tries to protect     Saint Cecilia in her own way. [04:08] Abel     Though she does fail     in her attempts sometimes. [04:10] Giselbert     When I think back to     when she was stuck in her shell... [04:14] Giselbert     Asking you to be her tutor was     the right thing to do, don't you think? [04:17] Abel     Though, she does need     a lot of looking after. [04:19] Giselbert     Let's just say that's part of the job. [04:22] Abel     Then please give me a raise. [04:25] Giselbert     I'll think about it. [04:28] Giselbert     Hey there, Lawrence! [04:30] Giselbert     Are you the type to drink alcohol? [04:33] Lawrence     Y-Yes, technically. [04:37] Giselbert     I invited Abel, too, but he's always     so stubborn, refusing to drink. [04:41] Lawrence     Oh, yes. [04:42] Lawrence     I've never seen him drink either. [04:45] Giselbert     He's just fundamentally     too free in his actions. [04:48] Lawrence     Given that, it's amazing     that you paired him [04:50] Lawrence     with Hazelita, who seems     to stick to the rules. [04:52] Giselbert     There is a part of her that's     supported by Abel, though. [04:56] Giselbert     She is forceful and can be inflexible. [05:00] Giselbert     Though, I think that part of her is cute. [05:02] Giselbert     In contrast, she was very earnest     when she was little, and that was cute, too. [05:08] Lawrence     You seem to be very proud of her. [05:10] Lawrence     Being so loved, Hazelita must be very happy. [05:13] Giselbert     What's this? [05:15] Giselbert     There are times when you want to brag     about the lady saint, aren't there? [05:19] Lawrence     About the lady saint? [05:21] Giselbert     She's good enough to get     Hazelita's seal of approval. [05:23] Giselbert     I'm sure she must be important to you, too. [05:27] Giselbert     Make sure you don't lose her. [05:30] Lawrence     Gi— [05:31] Cecilia     Lawren! [05:33] Cecilia     So this is where you've been. [05:34] Lawrence     Lady Saint! [05:36] Cecilia     You've been with Mister Giselbert? [05:39] Cecilia     What are you drinking? [05:41] Lawrence     It's alcohol. [05:43] Lawrence     I'm only having a little, though. [05:44] Giselbert     Miss Cecilia, will you be drinking, too? [05:46] Lawrence     She will not! SIGN    The next day. [05:51] Lawrence     To think they'd tell     the two of us to go on ahead. [05:54] Lawrence     It feels like this is different     than we'd discussed somehow. [05:56] (Flashback) Hazelita     Abel isn't waking up! [05:58] (Flashback) Hazelita     Lawrence, will you     and Cecilia go on ahead, please? [06:03] Lawrence; internal     And it seemed like Eric     wanted to say something. [06:08] Lawrence     For now, shall we look around     the city, just the two of us? [06:13] Cecilia     Yes! [06:39] Lawrence     They have so many different kinds of things! [06:41] shop clerk     These are accessories with flower motifs. [06:44] shop clerk     What do you think of this? [06:46] shop clerk     It's modeled after a poppy. [06:49] Cecilia     It's so lovely! [06:53] Lawrence     Shall we buy it? [06:54] Cecilia     What? [06:55] Lawrence     You have a big appetite for food, [06:57] Lawrence     but you don't crave material things     very often, so every once in a while... [07:01] shop clerk     Since you're buying it,     why don't you put it on? [07:04] shop clerk     Here you go. [07:05] Lawrence     Huh? Why did you give it to me? [07:09] shop clerk     If it's a gift, [07:10] shop clerk     then I thought that putting it     on for her should be part of the package. [07:14] Lawrence     I see. [07:15] Cecilia     Lawren. [07:18] Cecilia     Will you be able to put it on me? [07:27] Cecilia     You're amazing, Lawren!     Your fingers are so nimble! [07:30] Lawrence     Come on, let's go. [07:35] Cecilia     I'll treasure it. [07:39] Cecilia     Coming here to this city with you [07:42] Cecilia     and you calling my name     for the first time will make great memories! [07:48] Lawrence     There's no need to remember that, is there? [07:50] Cecilia     Yes, there is! [07:51] Cecilia     It's only because you don't     usually call me by name, you know? [07:57] Lawrence     I'll work hard so that one day it will be     natural for me to call you by name. [08:02] Lawrence     It's going to be afternoon soon. [08:02] Cecilia; background     Oh, Lawrence! You silly! [08:04] Lawrence     Let's look for everyone else     and have some lunch! [08:06] Cecilia     All right! [08:09] Lawrence; internal     Her name, huh? [08:15] Lawrence; internal     This is another very impressive garden. [08:18] Lawrence; internal     Now that I think about it,     this side of the city... [08:21] Lawrence; internal     I've never been here before, have I? [08:32] Lawrence     Why did you want to go     out of your way to eat this? [08:35] Cecilia; Eric     Because it's unusual! [08:36] Cecilia     Lawren, is this something     you bite directly into to eat? [08:40] Cecilia     It wouldn't be unseemly of me? [08:42] Lawrence     Why are you asking that now? [08:44] Eric     It tastes of the city. [08:50] Cecilia     The city! [08:52] Eric     The city... The city... [08:55] Hazelita     Now, Lawrence. [08:56] Hazelita     What did you and Cecilia go see? [08:59] Lawrence     What? [09:00] Lawrence     Just what you'd expect, unusual things,     accessories, things like that. [09:07] Hazelita     Well, I suppose you get     passing marks for that! [09:09] Lawrence     Why do you seem so happy, Miss Hazelita? [09:12] Abel     Lately, the lady's meddling     has been increasing. [09:16] Hazelita     I don't want to hear     that from you of all people! [09:19] Eric     I'm sorry! [09:20] Abel     It's because the lady stood up so suddenly. [09:22] Hazelita     I'll go borrow something to wipe it up with. [09:24] Eric     I'll go with you! [09:28] Cecilia     Lawren? Is something wrong? [09:31] Lawrence     N-No. [09:32] Lawrence     For some reason, my head hurts. [09:34] Cecilia     What? [09:35] Lawrence     I'm all right. [09:36] Lawrence     It hasn't been as bad lately, [09:39] Lawrence     but I've had this happen every once     in a while since I was a child. [09:42] Abel     Saint Cecilia, [09:43] Abel     have you bestowed too much     of your protection again? [09:46] Cecilia     No. I've been careful since then. [09:49] Cecilia     Lawren, how long have you felt this way? [09:52] Lawrence     Um... Oh, right. [09:55] Lawrence     Since we passed that garden. [09:58] Abel     I think you should try decreasing     the protection on Lawrence. [10:02] Cecilia     All right! [10:08] Lawrence     Oh. It's starting to fade. [10:12] Cecilia     I'm so glad. [10:14] Cecilia     Abel, what's in that garden? [10:18] Abel     That garden... [10:20] Abel     is a certain someone's     resting place, you see. [10:23] Cecilia     A certain someone? [10:25] Abel     Someone who once lived in this town,     Lady Saint Frederica. [10:38] Lawrence     Lady Saint Frederica? [10:40] Abel     Yes. [10:41] Abel     You were probably affected by Lady     Saint Frederica's divine protection. [10:45] Lawrence     But that means... [10:46] Lawrence     You can't possibly mean     that in the garden... [10:48] Hazelita     Abel. [10:51] Hazelita     Are you sneaking around trying     to do something in secret again? [10:54] Abel     That's not what's going on here. [10:56] Abel     Besides, you haven't really told     them everything, have you, Miss? [11:00] Hazelita     Since we have come back to this city, [11:03] Hazelita     I had planned to tell them everything. [11:06] Hazelita     About what I saw when I was little... [11:08] Hazelita     about the lady saint. [11:11] Hazelita; present     Saint Frederica was brought here by     a wealthy family with influence in this city. [11:16] Hazelita; present     As the daughter of a prominent family, [11:19] Hazelita; present     I often went to see her     as she relaxed in the garden. [11:24] (Flashback) Frederica     Hazelita! [11:25] (Flashback) Frederica     You've come to see me again today! [11:27] (Flashback) young Hazelita     I came to make a flower crown. [11:30] Hazelita; present     Her long hair would flutter... [11:33] Hazelita; present     and she wore red dresses. She was beautiful. [11:38] Hazelita; present     Those stricken with illness,     or those who were injured... [11:40] Hazelita; present     when they spoke with the lady saint,     their hearts would be set at ease. [11:44] Hazelita; present     That reputation lead to her being called     the Lady Saint of Compassion. [11:47] Hazelita; present     And there were more than a few people who     would come just to gaze at her gentle smile. [11:53] (Flashback) young Hazelita     Now that I think of it, Lady Saint, [11:55] (Flashback) young Hazelita     my big brother said he would come later. [11:58] (Flashback) Frederica     What? School finishes     early today, doesn't it? [12:01] (Flashback) Frederica     Do you think I should     prepare something for him? [12:04] (Flashback) young Hazelita     That flower crown? [12:06] (Flashback) Frederica     Th-That's... [12:08] (Flashback) Frederica     I haven't made mine very well. [12:10] (Flashback) Giselbert     You've made so many     and you still haven't improved? [12:14] (Flashback) Frederica     Gil! [12:15] (Flashback) Giselbert     Hazelita, have you been a good girl? [12:19] (Flashback) Giselbert     Ow! [12:19] (Flashback) Frederica     Oh my. [12:20] (Flashback) Frederica     Hazelita is always a good girl. [12:23] (Flashback) Frederica     Unlike a certain someone, she never     suddenly appears standing behind me. [12:26] (Flashback) Giselbert     Isn't it partly your fault for not noticing? [12:29] (Flashback) Frederica     I can't help it. [12:31] (Flashback) Frederica     I was absorbed in our conversation. [12:34] Hazelita; present     Even among all the people in the city, [12:36] Hazelita; present     the ones who spent the most time with her... [12:39] Hazelita; present     were us siblings. [12:41] Hazelita; present     She was unreliable in some ways,     but she was a warm person. [12:45] Hazelita; present     She was a person who should     have been loved, and yet... [12:49] Hazelita; present     The wealthy family     that kept control of her... [12:51] Hazelita; present     worshiped her holiness     and didn't treat her as a person. [12:56] Hazelita; present     And that wasn't all. [12:57] Hazelita; present     The people in town     were swept up in the same belief. [13:00] Hazelita; present     Anyone who opposed was put under pressure. [13:03] Hazelita; present     It was as though the city was enthralled. [13:05] Hazelita     There wasn't anything I could do. [13:10] Hazelita     And it seems it was the     same for my older brother. [13:13] Lawrence     Newspaper articles     from the time said that the [13:15] Lawrence     Great Lady Saint was     the one who calmed things. [13:18] Hazelita     It's true. [13:19] Hazelita     I don't know who it was from... [13:22] Hazelita     but the Great Lady Saint     received a secret report. [13:24] Hazelita     A messenger from her arrived     and the situation was brought under control. [13:28] Hazelita     But by that point, the amount of time left     to the lady saint was... [13:33] Hazelita     I tended her deathbed. [13:34] Hazelita     We did, as a family. [13:37] Lawrence; internal     If she was someone     important to Miss Hazelita, [13:40] Lawrence; internal     then Mister Giselbert,     who was with her then, must also... [13:43] Eric     Um. [13:44] Eric     Was this something     that I was supposed to hear? [13:48] Hazelita     I'm actually glad that you heard it. [13:51] Hazelita     It's something that     as many people as possible [13:55] Hazelita     should hear so that it never happens again. [13:57] Hazelita     I'm sorry for telling such a     dark story in a place like this. [14:02] Cecilia     Not at all. [14:03] Cecilia     Thank you so much for telling us, Hazelita. [14:10] Hazelita     I've never spoken to anyone     about her this much before. [14:15] Abel     Miss, I bet your palms are a sweaty mess. [14:17] Hazelita     Shut up. [14:18] Abel     Up until now, you hated     speaking of it at all, and yet... [14:21] Abel     Maybe something inside you     has changed, miss? [14:28] Hazelita     Yes, you're right. [14:32] Cecilia; internal     Lady Saint Frederica's divine blessing. [14:35] Cecilia; internal     Is there something she's trying to tell me? [14:41] Lawrence; internal     I haven't seen Mister Giselbert today. SIGN    Fidget Fidget [14:46] Cecilia     Um... This way? No, it was... [14:49] Cecilia     Um... [14:49] Lawrence     What are you doing? [14:51] Cecilia     L-Lawren! [14:53] Cecilia     After hearing Hazelita's story, [14:56] Cecilia     I couldn't help wondering about the garden. [14:58] Lawrence     What? [14:59] Lawrence     You can't mean to go     there this late at night? [15:02] Cecilia     Oh. [15:03] Cecilia     That's Mister Giselbert, isn't it? [15:06] Lawrence     It's night. Where could he be going? [15:08] Cecilia     He has a bouquet of flowers, doesn't he? [15:10] Lawrence     You're right. [15:11] Lawrence     Maybe he's going to see     someone he's close with? [15:15] Lawrence     Lady Saint? [15:21] Cecilia     This is... [15:22] Lawrence     It's the garden we were talking about. [15:27] Giselbert     I'm impressed that you     followed me without losing me. [15:30] Cecilia     Um, I was the one who followed you. [15:33] Cecilia     Lawren just came along with me. [15:35] Lawrence     What are you saying? [15:37] Lawrence     I'm just as bad as you for not stopping you! [15:39] Lawrence     We're very sorry, Mister Giselbert. [15:41] Cecilia     Lawren! [15:42] Cecilia     Please don't apologize     before I have the chance to! [15:45] Giselbert     You wondered where I was going     with a bouquet of flowers, right? [15:48] Giselbert     Would you like to come meet     the person I'm giving them to? [15:53] Giselbert     This garden was once the property     of a certain wealthy family. [15:57] Giselbert     Now that they've lost ownership of it,     my family is looking after it. [16:01] Lawrence     Is that what's happened? [16:03] Giselbert     Beautiful, isn't it? [16:05] Giselbert     Ever since I was a child, this place     has always been filled with flowers. [16:11] Giselbert     Because this is where     Frederica rests, you see. [16:18] Cecilia     What are those dried flower crowns? [16:20] Giselbert     Hazelita made them before     she went to your village. [16:24] Giselbert     The two of them often made them together, [16:26] Giselbert     so they must hold a lot of memories for her. [16:28] Giselbert     Every time I see a flower crown, [16:31] Giselbert     I feel shame for not being     able to do anything back then. [16:36] Lawrence     Are you sure you     weren't able to do anything? [16:39] Cecilia     Lawren? [16:40] Lawrence     I'm sorry. [16:42] Lawrence     This may be rude of me, [16:44] Lawrence     but you and your sister stayed     by Lady Saint Frederica's side, [16:47] Lawrence     and Miss Hazelita was suffering so much... [16:49] Lawrence     I just can't imagine that     you didn't feel the same way. [16:53] Lawrence     And... [16:55] (Flashback) Giselbert     Make sure you don't lose her. [16:58] Lawrence     those words you said to me yesterday, [17:00] Lawrence     I felt like they were those     of someone who had taken action. [17:04] Lawrence     The one who sent the secret report to     the Great Lady Saint was you, wasn't it? [17:10] Giselbert     The actions I could take back then     were very limited, you see. [17:14] Giselbert     I used the fact that     I'm from a prominent family, [17:16] Giselbert     but sending a letter     to the Great Lady Saint, [17:19] Giselbert     who is so hard to reach,     was the most I could do. [17:21] Cecilia     You haven't told Hazelita, have you? [17:24] Giselbert     I didn't want her to brood over it too much. [17:27] Giselbert     I tried to take Frederica     away many times, too... [17:31] Giselbert     but I haven't told her that either. [17:32] Lawrence     What? "Take her away"? [17:34] Lawrence     Were you all right after that? [17:36] Giselbert     Yes. They were all failed attempts. [17:39] Giselbert     The lady herself refused me, you see. [17:41] Giselbert     Apparently, as a lady saint,     she had a certain way she wanted to live. [17:45] Giselbert     Even after searching through all     the literature I could find on lady saints, [17:48] Giselbert     I still couldn't understand     why she felt that way. [17:52] Giselbert     But I do know that it isn't     that she didn't want to live. [17:56] Giselbert     The fact that I couldn't protect her... [17:58] Giselbert     Even now, I blame myself. [18:02] Giselbert     Enough of that. [18:04] Giselbert     Speaking of one's regrets     only brings embarrassment. [18:06] Giselbert     Since I'm speaking     with a pastor and a lady saint, [18:09] Giselbert     I said more than I meant to. [18:11] Giselbert     I'll head back first. [18:13] Lawrence     What? Mister Giselbert... [18:17] Giselbert     You take care of the rest! [18:20] Lawrence     Um... [18:21] Lawrence     Lady Saint, shall we head back, too? [18:28] Cecilia     I-I'm sorry! [18:30] Cecilia     I don't know why.     These tears just started falling. [18:34] Lawrence     The two of them really cared     about Lady Saint Frederica, didn't they? [18:41] Cecilia; internal     Oh. [18:42] Cecilia; internal     This is what you wanted to say, isn't it? [18:51] (Flashback) Giselbert     Frederica! [18:52] (Flashback) Frederica     Gil! [18:54] (Flashback) Frederica     Welcome! Look! [18:55] (Flashback) Frederica     This flower crown turned out very nicely. [18:59] (Flashback) Giselbert     Oh, um, yes. [19:01] (Flashback) Frederica     Didn't it? [19:04] (Flashback) Giselbert     Frederica... [19:06] (Flashback) Giselbert     I think we should run away     from here after all. [19:10] (Flashback) Frederica     How lovely. [19:11] (Flashback) Frederica     It's like a story from a novel! [19:13] (Flashback) Giselbert     Frederica! [19:15] (Flashback) Frederica     I can't. [19:17] (Flashback) Frederica     I'm a lady saint. [19:19] (Flashback) Frederica     If people need me, then I will be     here to meet their needs. [19:22] (Flashback) Giselbert     What are you saying?! [19:23] (Flashback) Frederica     Besides... [19:25] (Flashback) Frederica     if you did something like that you     and your family would be in danger. [19:30] (Flashback) Frederica     You have a precious little sister. [19:33] (Flashback) Frederica     I want you to love her. [19:38] Giselbert; internal     You... [19:39] Giselbert; internal     You only ever prayed     for the happiness of others, didn't you? [19:42] Lawrence     Mister Giselbert! [19:45] Giselbert     You two. [19:47] Cecilia     Mister Giselbert, you said that     you researched lady saints, didn't you? [19:51] Giselbert     Oh, yes. [19:53] Giselbert     Mostly old records and folklore. [19:56] Cecilia     Then, have you heard     of the divine protection of lady saints? [20:00] Giselbert     It's the lady saints' will     to protect people, isn't it? [20:04] Cecilia     That's right. Exactly. [20:06] Cecilia     In the future, you and Hazelita probably     won't be gravely injured or seriously ill. [20:12] Giselbert     What? [20:13] Cecilia     Lady Saint Frederica wanted     the two of you to live and move forward. [20:18] Cecilia     This is her divine protection. [20:20] Cecilia     Even at the very end,     she cared about you two very much. [20:28] Giselbert     All this when you were     the one dying of illness. [20:32] Giselbert     You really did only wish     for the happiness of others. [20:36] Giselbert     What a troublesome person. [20:42] Lawrence     Lady Saint? [20:44] Cecilia; internal     These tears... [20:46] Cecilia; internal     Are they from a sense of empathy     with the lady saint? [20:51] Cecilia; internal     Frederica... [20:53] Cecilia; internal     you knew the happiness of being     with the person you love, too, didn't you? [22:35] (Flashback) Frederica     Gil?! [22:36] (Flashback) Giselbert     Hey. [22:38] (Flashback) Frederica     Th-This is the second floor, you know? [22:41] (Flashback) Giselbert     My test results were poor, [22:42] (Flashback) Giselbert     so my parents forbid me     from leaving the house. [22:45] (Flashback) Giselbert     If my family weren't so strict, [22:48] (Flashback) Giselbert     I would have come straight     through the front door. [22:51] (Flashback) Frederica     But it's because you     were born to that family [22:54] (Flashback) Frederica     that you're allowed to see me,     a lady saint, right? [22:58] (Flashback) Giselbert     If you weren't a lady saint,     it would be so much easier to talk to you. [23:03] (Flashback) Frederica     But if I weren't a lady saint, [23:05] (Flashback) Frederica     then you probably never would have met me, [23:07] (Flashback) Frederica     and we wouldn't have had these     kinds of ordinary conversations. [23:11] (Flashback) Frederica     That would have been so sad, wouldn't it? [23:13] (Flashback) Giselbert     When you say it like that... [23:15] (Flashback) Giselbert     it sounds to me like you're the one     who wants these ordinary conversations. [23:21] (Flashback) Frederica     I-If you don't feel the same, Gil,     then I don't really need them. [23:25] (Flashback) Giselbert     I do! I do feel the same! [23:27] (Flashback) Giselbert     Strict families and lady saints aside, [23:30] (Flashback) Giselbert     just being able to see you is enough. [23:36] (Flashback) Frederica     Yes. Isn't it?
