[00:05] Alice
    Speak. However,
    if there's any trace of deceit in your words,
[00:12] Alice
    I will slay you on the spot.
[00:15] Kirito
    That's fine.
[00:17] Kirito
    If your decision to slay me is your own.
[00:24] Kirito
    The reason I say that is because
[00:27] Kirito
    there's an order inside you that you're not aware
    was put there by someone else.
[00:34] Kirito
    You Integrity Knights were summoned
    from the heavens to maintain order and justice
[00:39] Kirito
    by the surrogate of the gods, Administrator,
    the pontifex of the Axiom Church,
[00:45] Kirito
    or so you believe.
[00:48] Kirito
    But...
[00:49] Kirito
    Alice, you don't remember who gave birth to you,
    or where you were raised.
[00:56] Alice
    I was told it's because the moment
    Integrity Knights are called here,
[01:01] Alice
    the goddess Stacia seals our memories
    of the heavens.
[01:05] Kirito
    It's true that your memories have been sealed.
[01:08] Kirito
    It wasn't the goddess Stacia who did that,
    but the pontifex herself.
[01:13] Kirito
    And it's not your memories of the heavens
    that were sealed,
[01:16] Kirito
    but of having been born and raised
    as a human child in this world.
[01:21] Kirito
    Your real name is Alice Zuberg.
[01:24] Kirito
    You were born and raised in a small village
    in the northern hinterlands called Rulid.
[01:29] Kirito
    And when you were eleven,
[01:31] Kirito
    you went to explore the cave
    through the End Mountains
[01:35] Kirito
    and ended up barely crossing the boundary
    between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory.
[01:40] Kirito
    In other words, the taboo you violated
    was "trespassing into the Dark Territory."
[01:49] Alice
    Alice Zuberg.
[01:52] Alice
    That's my name?
[01:55] Alice
    Rulid... The End Mountains...
[01:58] Alice
    I can't remember any of it.
[02:01] Kirito
    Don't force yourself to remember.
    You'll end up like Eldrie.
[02:04] Alice
    Why would you say that now?
[02:06] Alice
    I... want to know everything.
SIGN    The Seal of the Right Eye
[03:50] Kirito
    Your father is Rulid's village elder,
    and his name is Gasuft Zuberg.
[03:56] Kirito
    Unfortunately, I don't know your mother's name,
[03:59] Kirito
    but like I said before,
    you have a younger sister. Her name is Selka.
[04:04] Alice
    Selka.
[04:05] Kirito
    She's been worried about you
    ever since you were taken away by the Church.
[04:10] Kirito
    When you were living in Rulid,
    I'm told you were called a prodigy of the sacred arts.
[04:15] Kirito
    And she's working hard to become a good Sister,
    to follow in her older sister's footsteps.
[04:22] Alice
    You told me something.
[04:25] Alice
    That you planned this rebellion
[04:27] Alice
    in order to correct the pontifex's wrongs
    and to protect the human world.
[04:32] Kirito
    Yeah. That's right.
[04:35] Alice
    Yet it's a fact that the pontifex's primary order
    to us Integrity Knights
[04:40] Alice
    is to defend against an invasion
    from the Dark Territory.
[04:46] Alice
    Even if you managed
    to defeat every Integrity Knight,
[04:49] Alice
    as well as slay the pontifex herself,
[04:52] Alice
    then who would be left
    to protect the Human Empire?
[04:56] Kirito
    Then let me ask you this.
[04:58] Kirito
    If you Integrity Knights counter
    at full strength,
[05:02] Kirito
    do you really believe that you can definitely repulse
    the entire Dark Territory forces?
[05:11] Bercouli
    Prime Senator. Can you have a serious talk
    with the pontifex soon?
[05:16] Bercouli
    The Dark Territory is steadily building up its forces.
[05:21] Bercouli
    There’s a limit to how much we can fight back
    if we're the only—
[05:25] Chudelkin
    Like I said!
[05:26] Chudelkin
    It's your job as Integrity Knights
    to do something about it!
[05:31] Chudelkin
    Geez, you never shut up!
[05:33] Chudelkin
    You just need to do as you're told! Seriously!
[05:40] Alice
    It's true that Uncle...
[05:44] Alice
    that His Eminence, Knight Commander Bercouli,
    seemed to have the same doubts.
[05:50] Alice
    But even so, it's also a fact that aside from ourselves,
    no other battle-ready force exists in the Human Empire.
[05:57] Kirito
    But that's a situation of Administrator's own making.
[06:02] Kirito
    The pontifex feared the emergence
    of a force in the Human Empire
[06:07] Kirito
    greater than her own absolute power.
[06:09] Kirito
    So she allowed the high-ranking nobles,
    who should reach for their swords first if war breaks out,
[06:13] Kirito
    to lead indolent, lavish lives,
    and as a result, their souls were corrupted.
[06:20] Kirito
    But that doesn't mean it's too late.
[06:23] Kirito
    Before the Dark Forces close in,
[06:26] Kirito
    if we can raise the largest possible army
    within the Human Empire—
[06:30] Alice
    There's no way we can do such a thing!
[06:33] Alice
    You just said it yourself.
[06:36] Alice
    How corrupt the nobles of this world have become!
[06:39] Kirito
    Yeah, that's true. But not everyone is like that.
[06:43] Kirito
    Among the lower-ranking nobles
    and commoners,
[06:46] Kirito
    there are a lot of people
    who want to protect this world.
[06:50] Alice
    Commoners?
[06:52] Kirito
    That's right.
[06:53] Kirito
    If we distribute the huge stash of weapons
    stored inside this tower,
[06:58] Kirito
    and then teach them the same real sword skills
    and sacred arts you all have been refining,
[07:02] Kirito
    it wouldn't be impossible
    to raise a solid army within a year.
[07:06] Kirito
    But the way things are,
    that can't be made a reality.
[07:11] Kirito
    Because an army
    whose loyalty to her can't be forced
[07:14] Kirito
    is just as terrifying to Administrator
    as the forces of darkness.
[07:20] Kirito
    In other words, there's only one conclusion.
[07:22] Kirito
    Our only option is to crush the pontifex's absolute rule,
    maximize what little time we have left,
[07:30] Kirito
    and then build up a defensive force
    that can counter the imminent invasion.
[07:37] Alice
    That there are minions of darkness here...
[07:40] Alice
    That fact alone is irrefutable proof
    that the pontifex is deceiving us, her loyal servants.
[08:04] Alice
    Will I get to see her?
[08:07] Alice
    If I agree to help you,
    and regain my sealed memories,
[08:12] Alice
    will I get to see Selka...
    my younger sister again?
[08:21] Kirito
    You will.
[08:22] Kirito
    But listen. I want you to hear me out.
[08:26] Kirito
    It'll be someone who's both you and not you
    that will see Selka.
[08:30] Kirito
    The moment you get your memory back,
[08:32] Kirito
    you'll go back to being Alice Zuberg
    from before the Synthesis Ritual.
[08:37] Kirito
    At the same time, the Integrity Knight
    Alice Synthesis Thirty will cease to exist.
[08:45] Alice
    Selka. Selka.
[08:50] Alice
    I can't remember. Her face or voice.
[08:54] Alice
    But this isn't the first time
    I've called that name.
[08:58] Alice
    My mouth, my throat,
[09:02] Alice
    my heart all remember.
[09:04] Kirito
    Alice.
[09:05] Alice
    I called it over and over.
    Every day, every night. Selka. Selka.
[09:18] Alice
    It's true. I have a family.
[09:24] Alice
    A father and a mother.
[09:26] Alice
    And a sister who's my own flesh and blood.
[09:31] Alice
    Somewhere underneath this night sky.
[09:56] Alice
    Once you told me that we Integrity Knights
    were created by the pontifex,
[10:03] Alice
    I suspected that this might be the case.
[10:06] Alice
    That I'd stolen this body
    from a girl named Alice Zuberg,
[10:11] Alice
    wrongfully occupying it for the last six years.
    Isn't that right?
[10:17] Alice
    I must return what I've stolen, right?
[10:21] Alice
    I'm sure that's what Selka, her parents, your friend
[10:25] Alice
    and you yourself wish for.
[10:28] Kirito
    Alice.
[10:30] Alice
    But there's just one...
    one favor I'd like to ask of you.
[10:35] Alice
    Before the original Alice's personality
    is restored to this body,
[10:40] Alice
    will you take me to Rulid Village?
[10:43] Alice
    And just one look while hidden is all I ask.
[10:47] Alice
    I want you to show me Selka,
    my younger sister, as well as my family.
[10:53] Alice
    If you could just grant me that, I'll be satisfied.
[10:58] Kirito
    Okay, I promise. I swear to you.
[11:02] Kirito
    Before we restore your memories,
    I'll definitely take you to Rulid Village.
[11:07] Alice
    No matter what, all right?
[11:25] Alice
    I've made up my mind.
[11:28] Alice
    In order to protect the Human Empire,
    and those who reside in it,
[11:32] Alice
    I, Alice Synthesis Thirty, hereby forsake my mission
    as an Integrity Knight and—
[11:40] Kirito
    Alice?
[11:45] Kirito
    Alice!
[11:48] Alice
    Kirito.
[11:53] Kirito
    Alice.
[12:00] Kirito
    A bar code?
    No, nothing like that exists in this world.
[12:08] Alice
    It's like my right eye is on fire.
[12:11] Alice
    And I can see some words.
[12:14] Kirito
    Don't think!
[12:16] Kirito
    Empty your mind!
[12:18] Kirito
    What's happening to you
[12:19] Kirito
    is probably some kind of psychological barrier
    that activates when you try to defy the Church.
[12:24] Kirito
    If you keep thinking about it,
    your eye's going to burst!
[12:29] Alice
    How cruel.
[12:30] Alice
    What a cruel thing to do.
[12:33] Alice
    For not only my memories, but even my mind
    to be controlled by someone else.
[12:42] Alice
    The one who burned this red sacred script
    onto my eye...
[12:48] Alice
    was it the pontifex?
[12:52] Kirito
    No, I don't think it was her.
[12:55] Kirito
    It's one of the entities who created this world
    and observes it from the outside.
[12:59] Kirito
    One of the gods
    that don't appear in the creation story.
[13:03] Alice
    Gods...
[13:06] Alice
    We Integrity Knights have fought endlessly
    to protect the world that the gods created,
[13:14] Alice
    and yet they refuse to trust us?
[13:17] Alice
    Robbing me of my memories
    of my family and my sister,
[13:22] Alice
    and on top of that,
    placing such a seal on me
[13:25] Alice
    to force me to obey... how dare they.
[13:29] Alice
    I'm not a puppet!
[13:32] Alice
    Even if I am an entity created by another,
[13:36] Alice
    I still have a mind of my own!
[13:39] Alice
    I want to protect this world
    and the people who live in it!
[13:43] Alice
    That's the one and only mission I must carry out!
[13:47] Kirito
    Alice!
[13:53] Alice
    Kirito.
[13:55] Alice
    Hold me down firmly.
[13:58] Kirito
    Right.
[14:02] Alice
    Pontifex Administrator,
    as well as you nameless gods...
[14:08] Alice
    in order to accomplish what I must do,
[14:11] Alice
    I will fight you!
[14:25] Administrator
    Eugeo.
[14:27] Administrator
    Eugeo!
[14:35] Administrator
    You must be cold over there.
[14:37] Administrator
    Now then, come here, Eugeo.
[14:50] Eugeo
    Mom? Is that you, Mom?
[14:53] Administrator
    That's right. I'm your mother, Eugeo.
[15:04] Eugeo
    But where's Dad?
[15:06] Eugeo
    Where did my brothers go?
[15:09] Administrator
    You silly child.
[15:11] Administrator
    You killed them all, remember?
[15:25] Eugeo
    What happened to me?
[15:28] Eugeo
    What am I doing here?
[15:32] Eugeo
    Bercouli, the knight commander...
[15:35] Eugeo
    I fought the hero of the old legend.
[15:38] Eugeo
    And afterward, a little man named Chudelkin
    or something showed up.
[15:42] Eugeo
    I can't remember what happened after that.
[15:46] Eugeo
    Is this...
[15:50] Eugeo
    Is this the top floor of the Central Cathedral?
[16:05] Eugeo
    If I'm on the top floor of the Cathedral,
    then that's...
[16:29] Alice's voice
    No, Eugeo! Run!
[16:37] Eugeo
    This person is the pontifex, Administrator.
[16:42] Eugeo
    If I do it now...
[16:44] Eugeo
    But this is for Alice, I can't use it now.
[16:49] Alice's voice
    Eugeo, run!
[17:11] Administrator
    You poor child.
[17:12] Eugeo
    Huh? Poor?
[17:15] Administrator
    That's right. So very pitiful.
[17:18] Administrator
    You're just like a withered potted flower.
[17:21] Eugeo
    A potted... flower?
[17:24] Administrator
    And you know very well yourself.
    How you thirst... how you starve.
[17:30] Eugeo
    For what?
[17:31] Administrator
    For love.
[17:33] Eugeo
    Did you say love?
[17:35] Eugeo
    You make it sound like I don't know what love is.
[17:39] Administrator
    That's right. You're a pitiful child
    who doesn't known what it's like to be loved.
[17:45] Eugeo
    That's not true! My mom loved me.
[17:50] Eugeo
    Whenever I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep,
[17:53] Eugeo
    she'd hold me and sing me lullabies!
[17:56] Administrator
    But was that love really meant only for you?
[18:00] Administrator
    You know it wasn't.
[18:01] Administrator
    It was what was left over
    from what she'd divided among your brothers.
[18:06] Eugeo
    That's a lie! Mom loved only me.
[18:12] Administrator
    You wanted her to love only you.
    But she wouldn't do that.
[18:17] Administrator
    That's why you hated them.
[18:19] Administrator
    Your father and your older brothers
    who stole your mother's love.
[18:22] Eugeo
    That's a lie! I... I don't hate my father
    or my brothers at all!
[18:28] Administrator
    Is that true?
[18:30] Administrator
    After all, you did slash him.
[18:33] Eugeo
    Who?
[18:34] Administrator
    That red-haired girl might've been
    the first person who loved you and no one else.
[18:40] Administrator
    When that man tried to take her away by force
    and defile her, you tried to slash him.
[18:45] Administrator
    Because you hated him.
[18:47] Administrator
    Because he'd taken something
    that was only yours.
[18:51] Eugeo
    You're wrong.
    That's not why I raised my sword against Raios!
[18:57] Administrator
    But your thirst remains unquenched.
[19:00] Administrator
    No one will ever love you.
    They've all forgotten about you.
[19:05] Administrator
    "We don't need you anymore," they said,
    and discarded you.
[19:08] Eugeo
    That's not true. That's not true.
[19:11] Eugeo
    I... I haven't been discarded.
[19:16] Eugeo
    That's right. It's not true. I have Alice.
[19:19] Administrator
    Is that really true?
[19:21] Administrator
    Does that girl really love only you, I wonder?
[19:27] Administrator
    You've forgotten.
[19:29] Administrator
    I'll help you to remember.
[19:32] Administrator
    The real memories you've buried
    deep inside your heart!
[19:43] Eugeo
    I haven't seen Kirito or Alice all morning.
    Where could they be?
[19:52] Eugeo
    A—
[19:54] Young Kirito
    Hey, let's head back now. Or they'll find out.
[19:58] Young Alice
    We still have time.
    A little longer... just a little bit, okay?
[20:05] Eugeo
    That's a lie.
[20:09] Eugeo
    This is all lies!
[20:12] Administrator
    See? I told you.
[20:18] Administrator
    Do you understand now?
[20:19] Administrator
    Even that girl's love doesn't belong to you alone.
[20:23] Administrator
    No. Actually, did she even have any for you
    from the start?
[20:31] Administrator
    But I'm different, Eugeo.
[20:34] Administrator
    I'm willing to love you.
[20:36] Administrator
    I'll give all of my love to you. Only you.
[20:45] Eugeo
    Only me?
[20:58] Administrator
    Now, come here, Eugeo.
[21:04] Administrator
    Now you can experience the joy
    of being loved to your heart's content.
[21:10] Administrator
    And if you love me,
    I'll return that same amount of love.
[21:16] Administrator
    The deeper your love for me,
    the more I'll bring you to the ultimate pleasure,
[21:22] Administrator
    one beyond your imagination!
[21:26] Eugeo
    Is that really what love is?
[21:31] Eugeo
    Is it like money,
    that you use to buy things of value?
[21:34] Eugeo
    Is that all there is to it?
[21:37] Tiese
    Eugeo-senpai.
[21:41] Tiese
    That's not what it is, Eugeo-senpai!
[21:53] Young Alice
    You're wrong, Eugeo!
[21:57] Young Alice
    Love isn't something you can get as a reward!
[22:08] Kirito
    Eugeo!
[22:34] Administrator
    Don't you want it, Eugeo?
[22:36] Administrator
    To forget everything that causes you sorrow,
    and consume all of my love?
[22:42] Administrator
    But not yet.
[22:45] Administrator
    Didn't I tell you? First, you have to love me.
[22:49] Administrator
    Now, chant exactly what I say.
[22:53] Administrator
    Be thinking that you trust only me,
    and you're offering yourself to me fully.
[22:57] Administrator
    Now... First, the initial line of the sacred art.
[23:01] Eugeo
    System Call.
[23:04] Administrator
    That's right. Now keep going.
[23:07] Administrator
    Remove Core Protection.
[23:10] Eugeo
    Remove...
[23:12] Eugeo
    Was this the best thing to do?
[23:15] Eugeo
    Core...
[23:16] Eugeo
    But I don't want to be sad
    or in pain anymore.
[23:22] Administrator
    That's right.
    Now, come to me, Eugeo. Into me.
[23:27] Administrator
    Into eternal stasis.
[23:30] Eugeo
    ...Protection.
[23:36] Kirito
    Next time: Synthesis.
