    Is she absorbing the power from my heart?
[00:05] Tzveta
    On a cold, cold winter's night...
[00:08] Tzveta
    Pesha's tiny hand...
[00:12] Tzveta
    The candle that just wouldn't
    light on shivering nights...
[00:15] Tzveta
    The moon that looked down
    upon us from the night sky...
[00:19] Tzveta
    The lake that seemed like an abyss...
[00:22] Tzveta
    Hey, why? Why did everyone lie to me?
[00:28] Tzveta
    I believed in all of you.
[00:32] Tzveta

    full of shit!
SIGN    Episode 10
    The Lonely Ice
    and Small Flame
[02:13] Letana
    The few years I had after
    leaving the orphanage
[02:16] Letana
    were more than enough to learn
    just how cold the outside world was.
[02:22] (Flashback) Letana
    Please take one.
[02:24] (Flashback) Letana
    How about one for your little one?
[02:26] (Flashback) Letana
    It'll make them happy.
[02:28] (Flashback) Letana
    Please take one. Please.
[02:52] (Flashback) Letana
    I'm...
[02:54] (Flashback) Letana
    going to have to find more work.
[02:59] (Flashback) Letana
    It's so cold.
[03:13] (Flashback) Letana
    What's the matter, Pesha?
[03:15] (Flashback) Letana
    Are you hungry?
[03:20] (Flashback) Letana
    Right. I'm sorry.
[03:24] (Flashback) Letana
    I'll make you something.
[03:26] (Flashback) Letana
    Wait a moment, okay?
[03:34] Letana
    Pesha is my one and only light.
[03:38] Letana
    I won't let you feel hungry or sad...
[03:52] (Flashback) Employee
    Letana-san. Do you have a moment?
[03:57] (Flashback) Employee
    I'm sorry, but could you quit
    at the end of the month?
[04:01] (Flashback) Letana
    Huh?
[04:02] (Flashback) Employee
    You know... We're in a recession right now.
[04:04] (Flashback) Employee
    We're struggling with job cuts.
[04:10] (Flashback) Letana
    I see... I understand.
[04:16] Letana
    I'm going to need to find my next job...
[04:23] (Flashback) Letana
    Pesha, my dear...
[04:25] (Flashback) Letana
    You can't fall asleep here.
[04:33] Letana
    Pesha and I are both... smiling?
[04:36] Letana
    And a cake?
[04:40] Letana
    Have I ever even made a face like this?
[04:46] (Flashback) Letana
    I'm so sorry, Pesha,
[04:48] (Flashback) Letana
    that I can't let you eat
    all this wonderful food.
[04:53] (Flashback) Letana
    But someday... Someday I will...
[05:06] Letana
    I can't cut down our food budget any further.
[05:09] Letana
    I need to find more work
    quickly, or Pesha will...
[05:18] (Flashback) Letana
    Yes? Can I help you?
[05:18] (Flashback) Landlady
    Damn it, Letana-san!
[05:21] (Flashback) Landlady
    You know why I'm here!
[05:22] (Flashback) Landlady
    Your rent! You're already six months behind!
[05:28] (Flashback) Letana
    I'm so sorry... I'm having a
    really hard time finding work.
[05:33] (Flashback) Landlady
    Things are hard for me, too.
[05:35] (Flashback) Landlady
    I'm no monster, so I hate to say this...
[05:38] (Flashback) Landlady
    But if this continues, I'm going
    to have to ask you to leave.
[05:43] (Flashback) Letana
    I'm sorry. I just need a little more time...
[05:59] (Flashback) Letana
    What's the matter, Pesha?
[06:02] (Flashback) Letana
    You're not going to eat?
[06:06] (Flashback) Letana
    You can't be a picky eater.
[06:08] (Flashback) Letana
    You need to eat everything you can.
[06:14] (Flashback) Letana
    Come on, Pesha. I know you understand.
[06:17] (Flashback) Letana
    Please, just eat. Be a good girl.
[06:20] (Flashback) Letana
    Come on. Please... Pesha.
[06:25] (Flashback) Letana
    That's enough!
[06:31] (Flashback) Letana
    Pesha, no... I-I was just...
[06:35] (Flashback) Pepesha
    Ma...
[06:37] (Flashback) Pepesha
    Mama... You... h-haven't
    eaten anything in so long...
[06:43] (Flashback) Pepesha
    I just wanted to tell you...
    th-that you should eat my share...
[06:49] (Flashback) Pepesha
    I'm sorry...
[06:52] (Flashback) Pepesha
    I'm sorry...
[06:55] (Flashback) Pepesha
    I'm sorry...
[06:57] Letana
    I can't.
[07:00] Letana
    I can't be this child's mother.
[07:04] Letana
    Because of me, she'll never be happy.
[07:11] Letana
    If I were to just disappear...
[07:22] Letana
    If I just disappeared...
[07:28] Letana
    I wonder if Pesha would also be able
    to go to that orphanage and be happy...
[07:34] Letana
    I wish I could go back to those days.
[07:37] Letana
    To that warm... happy place.
[07:42] Letana
    I can't bear these cold winter nights anymore.
[07:48] Letana
    Since this is the end...
[07:50] Letana
    I want to let her have some
    delicious cake, just this once.
[07:58] (Flashback) Bakery employee
    Oh, welcome.
[08:01] (Flashback) Bakery employee
    What kind of cake are you looking for?
[08:04] (Flashback) Letana
    Um... I was thinking about getting
    a delicious cake for my daughter...
[08:11] (Flashback) Letana
    But I'll actually just take
    one of these cookies...
[08:15] (Flashback) Bakery employee
    Oh, dear. Just a moment.
[08:19] (Flashback) Bakery employee
    Here you go. This is the
    cake that I recommend.
[08:22] (Flashback) Bakery employee
    It's very delicious.
[08:24] (Flashback) Letana
    Huh? But... I can't afford this.
[08:27] (Flashback) Letana
    This is so extravagant.
[08:29] (Flashback) Bakery Employee
    Oh, it's fine. Please take it.
[08:33] (Flashback) Letana
    Huh?
[08:34] (Flashback) Bakery Employee
    But in return, once you eat it, please come
    back to tell me if you liked it or not.
[08:38] (Flashback) Bakery Employee
    And when you do, bring
    your daughter with you.
[08:43] (Flashback) Letana
    Thank you... truly.
[08:46] (Flashback) Letana
    I promise... I'll come back again.
[08:57] Letana
    I can't...
[08:59] Letana
    I can't give up yet...
    For Pesha's sake, as well.
[09:04] Letana
    I need to apologize for yelling at her.
[09:09] Letana
    I wonder if Pesha hates me now.
[09:13] Letana
    I need to tell her...
[09:26] Letana
    that even so, I'm wishing for her happiness.
[09:32] Letana
    Come to think of it... I've never
    properly told her how I felt.
[09:45] (Flashback) Vagrant
    You had the nerve to buy
    cake? You rich bitch.
[09:57] Letana
    The world... took everything away from me...
[10:02] Letana
    But that's fine.
[10:06] Letana
    Even if I go to hell...
[10:15] Letana
    Pesha.
[10:17] Letana
    May you and so many children like you
[10:21] Letana
    never know about this world
    that's so filled with pain.
[10:26] Letana
    To ensure that happens,
[10:28] Letana
    I'd even become a demon
    and destroy this world...
[10:33] Letana
    Oh...
[10:35] Letana
    It's so cold.
[10:41] Spirit
    Ma...
[10:43] Spirit
    Mama...
[10:45] Tzveta
    Say, Pesha...
[10:47] Tzveta
    I'll protect all of you from this hell.
[10:53] Shy
    Pepesha-san!
[10:55] Shy
    What I just saw... Was that...
    Pepesha-san's mom's memories?
[10:59] Kufufu
    Did you see that, too, you pain in the butt?
[11:02] Kufufu
    Tzveta-chan's unfortunate memories
    that you can't even laugh at?
[11:06] Kufufu
    And now, quiz time!
[11:08] Kufufu
    Here!
SIGN    Pain in the Butt
[11:10] Kufufu
    Will the heroes be able to
    make Tzveta-chan smile?
[11:18] Kufufu
    Welp, too bad! You're out of time!
[11:20] Kufufu
    You can explody now!
SIGN    Pain in the Butt
[11:23] Shy
    I-I should've expected that!
[11:28] Spirit
    Are you... really Mama? Really?
[11:32] Tzveta
    Yes. The Mama you hate.
[11:36] Tzveta
    You loathed me, didn't you?
[11:39] Tzveta
    Because I couldn't make you happy.
[11:43] Spirit
    Why... Why would you say that?
[11:47] Tzveta
    But that's fine.
[11:49] Tzveta
    Even if my flesh goes up in flames,
[11:51] Tzveta
    I just wish for your happiness...
[11:54] Spirit
    She's wrong. I have to tell her.
[11:58] Tzveta
    I'll even embrace all the
    hatred in this world...
[12:01] Spirit
    I have to tell her. I...
[12:04] Tzveta
    ...and sing a lullaby.
[12:08] Spirit
    Mama—
[12:15] Pepesha
    I can't... My heart is already...
[12:19] Tzveta
    Pesha. You don't need to suffer anymore.
[12:24] Tzveta
    Suffering doesn't belong here.
[12:27] Tzveta
    This place is what created
    you as you are right now.
[12:31] Tzveta
    The you that I ruined.
[12:34] Tzveta
    Come now, Pesha. Don't cry.
[12:37] Tzveta
    I'm truly happy...
[12:41] Tzveta
    to see that you've become
    so happy without me.
[12:49] Shy
    You're wrong!
SIGN    Pain in the Butt
[13:01] Kufufu
    Huh? Where'd ya go?
[13:04] Shy
    You're forgetting something very important!
[13:07] Shy
    You have no idea just how precious
    you are to Pepesha-san!
[13:12] Shy
    The kindness you showed her...
    continues to live in Spirit's heart!
[13:18] Pepesha
    That's when I remembered a small
    flame from a candle I'd seen once.
[13:26] Pepesha
    The flame stood no chance
    against the cold that day,
[13:30] Pepesha
    so it was tiny and flickering...
[13:34] Pepesha
    But even so, it was more than enough
    to let me dream about tomorrow.
[13:38] Pepesha
    That's how strong and warm it was.
[13:41] Shy
    Your dark, frozen heart...
[13:46] Shy
    I'm...
[13:47] Shy
    going to light it back up!
[13:53] Shy
    Shy.

[14:07] Tzveta
    Warm flames...
[14:09] Tzveta
    Flames you just want to cozy up to forever...
[14:15] Tzveta
    But I don't need them anymore.
[14:19] Tzveta
    Those flames won't reach anywhere.
[14:24] Tzveta
    Now that my emotions and
    memories have returned,
[14:27] Tzveta
    my heart has been completed.
[14:33] Tzveta
    My Amarariruku...
[14:40] Tzveta
    is even bigger now!
[14:49] Tzveta
    It'll continue to spread!
[14:54] Kufufu
    Tzveta-chan's got wings now!
[14:57] Kufufu
    Oh, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap...
[15:01] Pepesha
    Her powers have grown even stronger?
[15:03] Tzveta
    You cannot stop me.
[15:14] Pepesha
    It's so cold... It's almost
    enough to freeze even my lungs.
[15:23] Tzveta
    Oh?
[15:28] Tzveta
    You're so persistent.
[15:49] Tzveta
    In that case...
[16:04] Tzveta
    What? What's going on?
[16:12] Tzveta
    My powers have definitely gotten stronger.
[16:18] Tzveta
    So why is this child...
[16:37] Tzveta
    Just who are you?
[16:42] Shy
    All I can sense from your ice is loneliness.
[16:47] Shy
    Your sad powers can't harm me.
[16:51] Tzveta
    You foolish child!
[16:52] Tzveta
    You think you can understand
    my heart at all?!
[16:55] Shy
    Of course I can, because
    I'm very familiar with it.
[16:59] Shy
    I've seen those tears before.
[17:03] Shy
    Those tears...
[17:05] Shy
    are the tears you cry when you harm
    yourself for the sake of someone else.
[17:10] Shy
    You're okay with being the only one to suffer.
[17:13] Shy
    You're willing to sacrifice yourself...
[17:17] Shy
    You've been ignoring how Pepesha-san
    feels this whole time.
[17:21] Tzveta
    Shut your mouth!
[17:25] Tzveta
    You know nothing about me!
[17:27] Tzveta
    Don't speak as though you do!
[17:29] Tzveta
    I don't care what happens to me!
[17:33] Tzveta
    I don't care if no one cares about me!
[17:35] Tzveta
    I'll endure any pain for
    the sake of the children!
[17:44] Shy
    Pepesha-san!
[17:47] Shy
    The reason Pepesha-san is here right now...
[17:49] Shy
    is because of the love...
[17:52] Shy
    she clearly inherited from you!
[17:56] Shy
    The kind of love that, given
    even the smallest opportunity,
[18:00] Shy
    she shares with others!
[18:04] Shy
    Her kind heart that allows
    her to care for others!
[18:07] Shy
    She inherited that from you!
[18:12] Shy
    It's because she admired you so much
[18:15] Shy
    that she became a world-saving hero!
[18:17] Tzveta
    That can't be.
[18:20] Tzveta
    I couldn't do anything for Pesha.
[18:25] Tzveta
    That's why I'm here right now...
[18:28] Tzveta
    So that no more failures
    like myself are born!
[18:32] Shy
    You're just scared.
[18:34] Shy
    You keep saying that you don't
    care what happens to you...
[18:39] Shy
    But no person is okay with not being loved!
[18:42] Shy
    You're...
[18:43] Tzveta
    I don't need any of that!
[18:56] Pepesha
    Teru-chan...
[18:58] Pepesha
    Why are you so...
[19:02] Shy
    Spirit.
[19:18] Shy
    It'll be okay.
[19:19] Shy
    I promise.
[19:22] Shy
    So please, tell her properly.
[19:24] Shy
    Actually use your words.
[19:28] Shy
    I'll help take on some of the pain.
[19:32] Shy
    So please... Tell her how you really feel.
[19:38] Tzveta
    I won't let you get in the way!
[19:46] Tzveta
    This is all for my ideals!
[19:50] Pepesha
    Watching Teru-chan reminds me of my old self.
[19:55] Tzveta
    For the children!
[20:02] Pepesha
    That's why I could never leave her alone,
[20:04] Pepesha
    and always intended to give
    her the push that she needed.
[20:08] Pepesha
    But... But you're actually...
[20:34] Pepesha
    I couldn't build up the courage.
[20:37] Pepesha
    I was too scared of hurting you, Mama.
[20:40] Pepesha
    Scared you might end up hating me.
[20:43] Pepesha
    But back then...
[20:46] Pepesha
    I should've told you how I really felt.
[20:52] Pepesha
    Say, Mama... This is embarrassing
    and really hard to say...
[20:58] Pepesha
    But will you do this with me?
