[00:11] Anne
    Why didn't you go after him?
[00:14] Challe
    If I'd gone after Jonas, you
    would have been killed by wolves.
[00:17] Anne
    I know that!
[00:19] Anne
    Even so, I didn't want to let him
    have that sugar confection.
[00:23] Anne
    But you...
[00:24] Anne
    You protected me so your
     wing wouldn't be damaged!
[00:28] Anne
    That's all it was, wasn't it?
[00:30] Anne
    I know! I'm not capable of using you!
[00:34] Anne
    I know that! I know!
[00:37] Anne
    I know...
[00:46] ---
    I don't know how far I can go, but…
[01:01] ---
    It's all right
[01:03] ---
    Even alone, I'll be fine, but…
[01:07] ---
    You know, the truth is
    that no one is alone
[01:14] ---
    Things like happiness,
    loneliness, and even anxiety…
[01:20] ---
    We are born to savor all those things
[01:30] ---
    A single spoonful of sparkles
[01:33] ---
    Transforms everything into smiles
[01:37] ---
    That could be what I secretly wished for…
[01:44] ---
    That miracle
[01:47] ---
    We're each searching for
    our most precious treasures
[01:53] ---
    That's what our journey is for
[02:00] ---
    I don't know how far I can go, but...
[02:07] ---
    Each moment that passes before me
    shall be spun from hope
[02:27] Anne
    Why...
[02:29] Challe
    He likely intended to enter it
    into the exhibition.
[02:32] Challe
    First, he stole your mother's designs.
[02:36] Challe
    But he was unable to make them work.
[02:38] Challe
    That's why he contrived to steal
    your work and head to Lewiston.
[02:48] Anne
    This is... mine. It's what I lost.
[02:51] Challe
    It was likely Cathy who stole it.
[02:54] Challe
    She has the ability to turn invisible.
[02:56] Challe
    Then, Jonas estimated the amount of
    silver sugar you used to make your piece,
[03:01] Challe
    loaded it into your cart in advance,
[03:03] Challe
    and stole your wagon with
    your finished piece inside.
[03:09] Anne
    How can you know all that?
[03:11] Challe
    That's how humans are.
[03:14] Anne
    I'm returning this.
[03:20] Anne
    The exhibition is the day after tomorrow.
[03:23] Anne
    Jonas will have already reached Lewiston.
[03:26] Anne
    It's too late now.
[03:29] Challe
    And you are satisfied with that?
[03:32] Anne
    Of course I'm not.
[03:33] Anne
    Of course I'm not,
    but there's nothing I can do!
[03:35] Anne
    Even with you here,
    I can't do anything about it!
[03:38] Anne
    So, I'll set you free.
[03:40] Anne
    Go somewhere else!
[04:00] Anne
    And now...
[04:01] Anne
    I'm all alone again.
[04:05] Anne
    I'm sorry, Mama.
[04:09] Anne
    Becoming a silver sugar master...
[04:11] Anne
    and sending your spirit to the heavens
    on Pull Soul Day was my dream.
[04:15] Anne
    And now it won't come true.
[04:18] Anne
    Mama. Mama!
[04:21] Anne
    Why did you die?
[04:23] Anne
    Why did you leave me all alone?
[04:26] Anne
    Why, Mama?!
[05:05] Anne
    How beautiful...
[05:11] Lusul
    You're a human, aren't you?
[05:12] Lusul
    You're the one who allowed me
    to be born, aren't you?
[05:15] Anne
    What?
[05:16] Challe
    Fairies are born when another's gaze...
[05:18] Challe
    causes the energy within an object
    to condense and take form.
[05:22] Anne
    Challe.
[05:24] Lusul
    And you're like me, aren't you?
[05:26] Lusul
    I'm Lusul El Min!
[05:29] Challe
    Lusul El Min, go where you like.
[05:32] Challe
    Do not approach humans.
[05:34] Challe
    They capture us, steal our freedom,
    and make us serve them.
[05:38] Lusul
    Really? But what about this young lady?
[05:41] Lusul
    She's a human, isn't she?
[05:43] Challe
    She's special.
[05:45] Challe
    Now, go. Live as you like in a place
    where humans cannot reach you.
[05:51] Lusul
    How kind you are!
[05:53] Lusul
    Thank you!
[06:01] Challe
    What does that expression mean?
[06:02] Anne
    Well... Why are you here?
[06:05] Anne
    I returned your wing, didn't I?
[06:07] Challe
    You haven't kept your promise to me.
[06:10] Challe
    I came to have you keep it.
[06:12] Anne
    Promise?
[06:14] Challe
    You promised to give me a sugar confection.
[06:19] Anne
    A sugar confection...
[06:28] Challe
    What's wrong? Will you make it or not?
[06:35] Anne
    I will.
[06:37] Anne
    I did promise, after all!
[06:39] Anne
    I'll make something incredibly beautiful!
[06:41] Challe
    Wait.
[06:42] Challe
    Do not make sugar confections in that state.
[06:46] Challe
    Wear this.
[06:47] Anne
    What?
[06:48] Challe
    It was in the cargo hold.
[06:50] Challe
    No one will mind if you use it, will they?
[07:00] Anne; internal
    I will make a sugar confection.
[07:11] Anne; internal
    For Challe.
[07:14] Anne; internal
    Even if I can't make it to the exhibition...
[07:18] Anne; internal
    Even if he leaves again
    once I give it to him...
[07:23] Anne; internal
    Right now, this is simply...
[07:25] Anne; internal
    for Challe, who came back to me.
[07:29] Anne; internal
    I will make something
    that I feel is beautiful!
[07:38] Anne
    Challe.
[07:41] Anne
    This is it...
[07:57] Anne
    It's very small, but this is my...
[08:00] Anne
    Given who I am right now,
    this is my truest sugar confection.
[08:06] Challe
    Beautiful.
[08:13] Anne
    Thank you.
[08:14] Anne
    Will you accept it?
[08:28] Anne
    Will you allow me to touch your wing?
[08:33] Challe
    Touch it.
[08:34] Anne
    Are you sure?
[08:46] Anne
    It feels so warm.
[09:15] Challe
    Are you satisfied?
[09:17] Anne
    Yes.
[09:19] Challe
    This sugar confection
    belongs to me, doesn't it?
[09:22] Anne
    Yes...
[09:23] Challe
    Then I will do as I please with it.
[09:28] Anne
    Challe?
[09:30] Challe
    Get on.
[09:31] Challe
    We're leaving.
[09:32] Anne
    Huh? Where are we going?
[09:33] Challe
    Lewiston.
[09:34] Anne
    What? What?!
[09:36] Challe
    If we travel through the night,
    we will arrive in the morning.
[09:39] Challe
    You want to become a silver sugar
    master this year, don't you?
[09:43] Anne
    What?
[09:44] Anne
    But the sugar confection
    I was going to enter is...
[09:47] Challe
    You have this.
[09:50] Challe
    If this is your truest work, then enter it.
[09:53] Challe
    If it isn't good enough,
    then you can accept your defeat.
[09:57] Anne
    Why are you doing this for me?
[10:00] Challe
    You returned my wing to me.
[10:02] Challe
    You are no longer my master.
[10:05] Challe
    If that's true, then we can become friends.
[10:09] Challe
    If that's what you wish.
[10:13] Anne
    Challe, is that something you want?
[10:16] Challe
    I don't know.
[10:24] Anne
    Night is coming.
[10:26] Anne
    Will we be able to escape
    the Bloody Highway safely?
[10:29] Challe
    Who do you think I am?
[10:36] spectator A
    I wonder which school will get
    the Royal Medal this year.
[10:39] spectator B
    It'll be the Mercury school.
[10:40] spectator C
    What about the Paige school?
[10:41] spectator D
    They're on the decline.
[10:42] spectator D
    I'm guessing it'll be the Radcliffe school.
[10:45] Earl of Downing
    His Majesty, King Edmond II approaches!
[10:48] crowd
    Wow! Hooray! It's him!
[10:57] spectator E
    What's that?
[10:58] spectator F
    Watch out!
[11:01] guards
    Look out!
[11:01] guards
    Out of the way!
[11:02] Earl of Downing
    What is this commotion?
[11:06] Anne
    Stop here, Challe!
[11:08] Challe
    Whoa!
[11:19] Anne
    It appears that the results of
[11:20] Anne
    the Sugar Confectionary Exhibition
    haven't yet been declared!
[11:23] Jonas
    Anne!
[11:24] Anne
    I will also enter!
[11:25] Anne
    Sugar Artisan Anne Halford!
[11:28] guard A
    You there!
[11:28] Anne
    No associated school!
[11:29] guard B
    You are brazen!
[11:30] Anne
    Please let me through! I...
[11:31] Hugh
    Hey there! Well, well.
[11:33] Hugh
    I thought you weren't coming,
    but that was quite the entrance...
[11:37] Hugh
    Anne.
[11:38] Anne
    Hugh?
[11:39] Earl of Downing
    You know this girl, Mercury?
[11:42] Hugh
    Yes. She is, indeed, a sugar artisan.
[11:45] Anne; internal
    Mercury? Hugh Mercury?
[11:46] Hugh; background
    I have ascertained her
    skills with my own eyes.
[11:48] Anne; internal
    The head of the Mercury Workshop school,
    and the current Silver Sugar Viscount?!
[11:53] Earl of Downing
    Very well.
[11:54] Earl of Downing
    If the Silver Sugar Viscount
    acknowledges her skills,
[11:56] Earl of Downing
    then I will authorize her entry.
[11:57] Anne
    Thank you.
[12:02] Jonas
    Hey, Anne.
[12:04] Jonas
    My clothes suit you quite well.
[12:06] Jonas
    That aside... To think you'd enter
    with a piece the size of a child's snack.
[12:12] Jonas
    I'm impressed by your nerve.
[12:15] Anne
    You impress me as well, Jonas.
[12:18] Anne
    Entering with someone else's work.
    There should be limits to shamelessness.
[12:22] Jonas
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[12:36] Earl of Downing
    We now begin the Sugar
    Confectionary Exhibition!
[12:39] Earl of Downing
    The greatest sugar artisan in the land...
[12:42] Earl of Downing
    shall be granted the title of
    Silver Sugar Master!
[12:47] Hugh
    Everyone, His Majesty the King will now
    examine the sugar confections!
[13:07] Earl of Downing
    Jonas Anders...
[13:08] Earl of Downing
    and Anne Halford.
[13:09] Earl of Downing
    Bring your sugar confections
    and approach His Majesty.
[13:17] King
    Yes, it's quite strange.
[13:19] King
    Mercury.
[13:21] King
    What do you think?
[13:22] King
    To my eyes, they appear similarly beautiful.
[13:26] Hugh
    Indeed.
[13:28] Hugh
    They seem as though they might
    have been made by the same artisan,
[13:32] Hugh
    given how alike they are.
[13:35] Hugh
    Which do you prefer, sire?
[13:42] King
    I like this one.
[13:50] King
    It seems as though
    it might shatter this instant.
[13:52] King
    It's ephemeral, and yet so full of life.
[13:56] King
    I have never seen
    such a beautiful sugar sculpture.
[14:02] Queen
    That sugar confection truly is magnificent.
[14:06] Queen
    But, Your Majesty,
[14:08] Queen
    the sugar confection which will be
    the centerpiece of the festival
[14:11] Queen
    must be made large and spectacular.
[14:15] Queen
    Even if she possesses the skills
    to make this small confection,
[14:18] Queen
    we don't know what will happen
    when it comes to a large piece.
[14:21] King
    Yes, that is true.
[14:24] King
    I have decided. I will make my declaration.
[14:27] King
    I award the Royal Medal to the sugar
    confection brought by Jonas Anders.
[14:36] Earl of Downing
    Anne Halford, stand aside.
[14:38] Earl of Downing
    Jonas Anders, come here.
[14:40] Earl of Downing
    His Majesty will examine the three barrels
    of silver sugar you refined,
[14:45] Earl of Downing
    so that you may present them to him
    along with the sugar confection.
[15:01] Jonas
    Wh-What is this?
[15:03] Earl of Downing
    What is the meaning of this, Anders?
[15:06] Earl of Downing
    An entire barrel of silver sugar
    is completely missing!
[15:09] Jonas
    Th-That can't be!
[15:11] Mithril
    Oh, please forgive me, Your Majesty!
[15:14] Mithril
    I am but a lowly labor fairy
    in service to Master Jonas Anders!
[15:19] Mithril
    My master is so utterly crappy
    at making silver sugar
[15:22] Mithril
    that he couldn't make the required amount!
[15:24] Mithril
    So, he had me, with my ability
    to use magic which tricks the eyes,
[15:27] Mithril
    creep into the barrel to make it appear full!
[15:29] Anne; internal
    Why is Mithril here?
[15:29] Mithril; background
    But the idea of tricking
    Your Majesty was just too, too much!
[15:32] Anne; internal
    It can't be. Did he eat Jonas' silver sugar?
[15:33] Mithril; background
    Please, forgive me, Your Majesty!
[15:35] Jonas
    This is a conspiracy!
[15:36] Jonas
    Come here!
[15:38] Jonas
    That fairy is in service to this
    Anne Halford, who stands before you.
[15:42] Jonas
    She wanted to become a silver sugar master,
[15:44] Anne
    so she had that fairy sneak into the barrel!
[15:46] Mithril
    Hey! Let Anne go, you scoundrel!
[15:48] Jonas
    See? He's confessed!
[15:50] Jonas
    They're working together!
[15:51] Anne
    It's true that I know this fairy.
[15:54] Anne
    But I don't know why he's done this.
[15:57] Mithril
    Does the why even matter?
[15:59] Mithril
    Anne, just tell them the truth!
[16:02] Mithril
    Tell them what he did to you!
[16:07] Anne
    Let go!
[16:08] Anne
    The piece that Jonas Anders entered
    and declared as his own...
[16:12] Anne
    is a piece that I made!
[16:14] Anne
    He stole it from me.
[16:17] Anne
    This fairy knew that and so...
[16:18] Jonas
    I stole it? That's a lie!
[16:20] Mithril
    Let go of Anne!
[16:21] Jonas
    Move, you little...
[16:21] Anne
    Are you going to keep lying?
[16:24] Jonas
    Silence! You're the liar here!
[16:26] Anne
    Let go! Let go of me!
[16:26] Jonas
    Stay still, you little...
[16:28] Hugh
    Well, shall we have them
    prove it, Your Majesty?
[16:30] Anne
    Let go!
[16:34] King
    Is there a way to discern
    which of them created these works?
[16:38] King
    If there is, we should use it.
[16:40] Hugh
    Yes, sire.
[16:41] Hugh
    Well then...
[16:42] Hugh
    I'll have you do the same thing
    you did that night at the Doctor's Inn.
[16:45] Hugh
    But this time, there will be a motif.
[16:51] Hugh
    This work that His Majesty selected...
[16:54] Hugh
    has butterflies on it, doesn't it?
[16:56] Hugh
    Make ones identical
    to these here, before His Majesty.
[16:59] Hugh
    Then we will be able to tell
    from whose hands these came.
[17:02] Hugh
    Understand?
[17:03] Anne
    All right. I'll do it.
[17:05] Hugh
    Jonas?
[17:06] Jonas
    I-I...
[17:07] Hugh
    Begin!
[17:12] Anne; internal
    I can feel it.
[17:14] Anne; internal
    Challe has stayed to watch me.
[17:17] Anne; internal
    I will make a butterfly.
[17:19] Anne; internal
    One that will make Challe happy.
    An incredibly beautiful butterfly.
[17:24] Anne; internal
    I want the wings to be more lustrous.
[17:27] Anne; internal
    Yes, like Challe's wings... so beautiful...
[17:31] Hugh
    That's enough!
[17:37] Hugh
    Anders' butterfly isn't even
    worth speaking about.
[17:39] Jonas
    I-If I don't work alone in a quiet place,
    I can't make anything very well.
[17:44] Jonas
    If I could work alone,
    in a quiet place, with enough time...
[17:47] Hugh
    You're a disgrace, Jonas!
[18:02] Hugh
    Halford's butterfly does resemble those
    of the work that His Majesty chose.
[18:07] Hugh
    But they are different.
[18:10] King
    What do you mean, Mercury?
[18:13] King
    It seems obvious to me which artisan
    created the work I selected.
[18:20] Hugh
    Between Halford's butterfly and the butterflies
    on the work Your Majesty chose...
[18:24] Hugh
    Which do you prefer, sire?
[18:30] King
    Halford's butterfly, of course.
[18:33] King
    Compared to the piece
    I chose, it is even more...
[18:38] King
    I see. They are not the same.
    That's what you meant.
[18:43] Hugh
    That is why I cannot declare
    with certainty which of them made it.
[18:48] King
    Yes. It seems that the artisan
    who made the piece I chose...
[18:53] King
    is nowhere to be seen.
[18:56] King
    Downing!
[18:56] Earl of Downing
    Yes, sire.
[18:57] King
    There will be no Royal Medal this year.
[19:00] King
    That is the end of this.
[19:02] spectator C
    What does this mean?
[19:03] spectator D
    No Royal Medal?
[19:05] spectator E
    Will they pick someone else?
[19:06] spectator E
    Does this mean no one's going to
    become a silver sugar master?
[19:08] Hugh
    That was a shame.
[19:11] Anne
    My lord Silver Sugar Viscount.
[19:13] Hugh
    Hey, now. No need to be so formal.
    Hugh is good enough for me.
[19:19] Anne
    Hugh, why...
[19:21] Anne
    You must have known that piece was mine.
[19:26] Hugh
    No, it wasn't. The king
    said so himself, didn't he?
[19:29] Anne
    But...
[19:31] Hugh
    Improving your skills worked against you.
[19:35] Hugh
    This butterfly that you made just now...
[19:38] Hugh
    That wasn't you aping someone else.
[19:41] Hugh
    This is clearly your own original work.
[19:49] Anne; internal
    Mama, did you hear that?
[19:53] Anne; internal
    Did you see that?
[19:58] Earl of Downing
    Anne Halford.
[20:00] Earl of Downing
    Her Majesty has given me a message for you.
[20:02] Anne
    Yes, my lord!
[20:04] Earl of Downing
    Next year, she hopes you will bring
    a sugar confection worthy of the festival.
[20:08] Earl of Downing
    She is greatly looking forward to it.
[20:11] Anne
    Yes... Yes, Your Majesty!
[20:13] Anne
    I promise, I will come back!
[20:15] Earl of Downing
    Mercury, I will leave
    Anders' punishment to you.
[20:19] Hugh
    What will you do? He made you lose, Anne.
[20:25] Anne
    Stand up, Jonas.
[20:29] Anne
    Stand up!
[20:45] Anne
    I feel so much better!
[20:47] Anne
    I've been wanting to give him one good hit!
[20:49] Hugh
    I like it! A very appropriate measure.
[20:55] Hugh
    All right! Then, we're done here!
[20:59] Anne
    I'm sorry.
[21:01] Anne
    Oh, I'm so sorry!
[21:02] Anne
    Pardon me!
[21:11] Anne
    Challe, thank you.
[21:14] Anne
    I couldn't become
    this year's silver sugar master.
[21:18] Anne
    I didn't make it in time
    to send Mama to the heavens.
[21:22] Anne
    But Mama will have to be content with the
    best sugar confection I can make right now.
[21:27] Anne
    And next year, no matter what...
[21:30] Anne
    I will come here again.
[21:35] Anne
    Here.
[21:36] Anne
    As I promised, this sugar
    confection belongs to you, Challe.
[21:39] Anne
    I'm returning it to you.
[21:42] Challe
    It looks unpalatable.
[21:44] Anne
    What?!
[21:45] Challe
    I want something
    made by a silver sugar master,
[21:47] Challe
    a particularly delicious sugar confection.
[21:49] Anne
    W-What's that supposed to mean?
[21:51] Anne
    You're saying this isn't good enough?
[21:53] Anne
    I told you. I wasn't able
    to become a silver sugar master.
[21:57] Anne
    But next year, I'm sure...
[22:00] Challe
    Then I'll have it next year on this day.
[22:02] Challe
    I have no need of one until then.
[22:04] Challe
    Until you become a silver sugar master,
    I will wait with you.
[22:09] Anne
    What? With me?
[22:13] Challe
    Anne.
[22:14] Anne; internal
    That's the first time...
[22:20] Anne; internal
    That's the first time Challe...
[22:22] Anne; internal
    called me by name.
[22:35] Mithril
    Hey, did you see that?
    My once-in-a-lifetime, brilliant acting!
[22:38] Anne
    Mithril!
[22:40] Anne
    I'm sorry, Mithril, for thinking, even
    for a second, that you ate my silver sugar.
[22:46] Mithril
    Well, that's just how humans are.
    Didn't surprise me.
[22:49] Mithril
    And don't shorten my name!
    I'm Mithril Lid Pod!
[22:52] Anne
    But, Mithril Lid Pod, how did you know
    that Jonas stole my sugar confection?
[22:59] Anne
    Were you secretly following us?
[23:01] Mithril
    Huh? I was in your cart the whole time.
[23:04] Anne
    What?
[23:05] Mithril
    You suspected me. I went to bed in a huff.
[23:07] Mithril
    When I woke up, the cart belonged to Jonas.
[23:11] Anne
    S-So that's what happened.
[23:13] Anne
    Just how long were you asleep, anyway?
[23:15] Mithril
    Did you forget?
[23:17] Mithril
    To repay that favor, I'm gonna follow you
    through sheer stubbornness if I have to.
[23:21] Mithril
    I'll follow you to the depths
    of the underworld!
[23:23] Challe
    Have you heard the phrase
    "a helpful nuisance," Mithril Lid Pod?
[23:28] Mithril
    I haven't. Sorry.
[23:30] Mithril
    And why are you still with Anne?
[23:33] Challe
    There's something
    Scarecrow is going to give me.
[23:35] Anne
    I-I'm Scarecrow again?
    You called me by name earlier.
[23:40] Challe
    What's wrong, Scarecrow? Hurry up and get in.
[23:42] Anne
    Oh, very well!
[23:43] Anne
    I'll let it pass this time, whether
    you call me a scarecrow or a crow!
[23:46] Anne
    Out of the way!
[23:47] Challe
    You're driving?
[23:48] Anne
    That's right!
[23:51] Anne
    That's the sort of mood I'm in!
