[00:11] Violet
    Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank
    you for joining our kimodameshi!
[01:50] Violet
    I'll explain the rules.
[01:52] Violet
    You'll be touring the seven locations across
    campus known for their scary stories.
[01:57] Violet
    The old tree of hangings, the
    garden of the eternally lost,
[02:01] Violet
    the window into the netherworld, the hall
    of the head seeker, the impostor's mirror,
[02:05] Violet
    the room of lingering voices,
    and the twisted observatory...
[02:06] Zoe
    Where's Rian?
[02:08] Isaac
    Dunno.
[02:09] Violet
    I've indicated the routes on the
    print-out I'm about to hand out.
[02:09] Rian
    Sorry I'm late.
[02:12] Violet
    To finish, you'll be pairing up to
    visit each site and receive a stamp.
[02:17] Violet
    Finally, we'll watch a horror
    movie at the observatory.
[02:20] Violet
    Also, I haven't told the teachers
    about tonight, so don't get caught.
[02:24] Martin
    Yeah, yeah.
[02:26] Kevin
    It'll suck if they find out.
[02:27] Martin
    They won't.
[02:30] Violet
    All right, let's start pairing up.
[02:32] Violet
    So, in total, there are...
[02:35] Jasmine
    Hey!
[02:38] Violet
    Jasmine?
[02:39] Jasmine
    How could you leave me out of all this fun?
[02:44] Kevin
    Weren't you sleeping?
[02:46] Jasmine
    I'm feeling a little better now.
[02:50] Violet
    Just don't push yourself too much, Jasmine.
[02:52] Jasmine
    I know.
[02:55] Violet
    Well, let's get started, then.
[03:05] Violet
    One, two...
[03:25] Zoe
    So...
[03:26] Zoe
    First up...
[03:29] Zoe
    Thirty-two years ago,
[03:31] Zoe
    this is the tree where a student with scratches
    all over supposedly hung themselves.
[03:35] Lucy
    Did that really happen?
[03:38] Lucy
    Kinda sounds made-up to me.
[03:40] Zoe
    I wonder.
[03:52] Zoe
    I didn't think of you as the type to
    join these kinds of things, Lucy.
[03:56] Lucy
    Chise invited me.
[03:59] Zoe
    Chise?
[04:01] Lucy
    I'd feel guilty turning her down
    when she asks so hesitantly.
[04:08] Zoe
    S-So then...
[04:10] Zoe
    Why did you offer to switch pairs earlier?
[04:13] Lucy
    What are you going to do if
    your snakes suddenly appear?
[04:17] Lucy
    Besides...
[04:18] Lucy
    I don't want to bother trying to talk
    to anyone except you guys.
[04:23] Zoe
    I see.
[04:32] Chise
    Let's see...
[04:33] Chise
    The hall where the man who'd lost his head
    during a sorcery experiment was last seen.
[04:44] Chise
    I haven't felt like this in a while.
[04:47] Chise
    But it might be an opportunity.
[04:53] Veronica
    Could you press the stamp?
[04:56] Chise
    Okay.
[05:08] Veronica
    You're pretty meek, aren't you? Shy, maybe.
[05:13] Veronica
    You look like you want to talk
    to people, but you can't.
[05:17] Chise
    I'm not good at talking to people.
[05:20] Veronica
    It just takes practice.
[05:22] Veronica
    You have no trouble talking to
    Rian and the others, after all.
[05:27] Chise
    In that case, did you know
[05:29] Chise
    that Philomela's being told to drop out
    of school due to her family's circumstances?
[05:35] Veronica
    So that's what you wanted to ask, huh?
[05:38] Veronica
    You're not very good at segues yet.
[05:42] Veronica
    Of course I know.
[05:45] Veronica
    But there's nothing to do about it.
[05:47] Chise
    I heard the Sergeant family serves
    the Rickenbacker family... your family.
[05:53] Veronica
    So, you think I could order them
    to do something about it?
[06:00] Veronica
    Chise, dear mage, are your kind
    ever tied down by something?
[06:07] Chise
    Tied down?
[06:09] Veronica
    A sorcerer's descendants are bound
    to their family from birth.
[06:16] Veronica
    No matter how much
     the world extols freedom,
[06:19] Veronica
    subjection exists in the shadows.
[06:24] Veronica
    Stick your nose into such places, and you'll
    find yourself in a lot of hurt, Chise.
[06:33] Chise
    I've experienced the pain of stepping
    into someone else's core, too.
[06:42] Veronica
    You like Philomela, huh?
[06:44] Chise
    Eh?
[06:46] Chise
    Er, yeah.
[06:48] Chise
    I'm worried about her.
[06:51] Veronica
    I see.
[06:53] Veronica
    Why don't we keep talking as we walk?
[06:58] Veronica
    She seems to have finally
    found friends, too.
[07:09] (Flashback) Servant A
    Miss Veronica!
[07:10] (Flashback) Doctor A
    Poison?
[07:11] (Flashback) Doctor A
    No... A curse?
[07:12] (Flashback) Doctor B
    Take her away.
[07:13] (Flashback) Doctor B
    This may be contagious.
[07:18] (Flashback) Servant A
    Miss Veronica, this way, quickly!
[07:28] Veronica
    Poor girl. And on her first job, too.
[07:32] Veronica
    But to think someone would try
    to poison me on my birthday...
[07:38] Veronica
    I must really have people's attention.
[07:46] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    They are all capable, close in
    age, and resistant to poison.
[07:51] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    I believe they're adequate
    to have by your side.
[07:54] (Flashback) Veronica
    What should I do with my father?
[07:57] (Flashback) Veronica
    He never discusses these things with me.
[07:59] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    The master insisted that we find someone
    immediately, given the recent incident.
[08:07] (Flashback) Veronica
    She survived.
[08:09] (Flashback) Veronica
    She's strong.
[08:10] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    That one's not mature yet.
[08:13] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    It was such a basic poison—
[08:14] (Flashback) Veronica
    I choose her.
[08:17] (Flashback) Veronica
    It'll be easier to talk to a girl.
[08:21] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    Miss Veronica!
[08:22] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    That's...
[08:25] (Flashback) Veronica
    Lizbeth Sergeant.
[08:28] (Flashback) Veronica
    This isn't a request.
[08:33] (Flashback) Lizbeth
    As you wish.
[08:42] (Flashback) Philomela
    Miss Veronica.
[08:44] (Flashback) Veronica
    Did Lizbeth do that to you?
[08:48] (Flashback) Philomela
    For not noticing the poison before I ate it.
[08:53] (Flashback) Philomela
    So...
[08:55] (Flashback) Philomela
    I'm sorry you have to see this.
[08:59] (Flashback) Veronica
    You're in a cage, too, aren't you?
[09:02] (Flashback) Philomela
    A cage?
[09:03] (Flashback) Veronica
    That's right.
[09:04] (Flashback) Veronica
    I'm still stuck inside, too.
[09:07] (Flashback) Veronica
    But...
[09:09] (Flashback) Veronica
    If you can't escape your cage, it may
     as well be a nicer cage, right?
[09:15] (Flashback) Veronica
    Which is why I'm choosing you.
[09:19] (Flashback) Veronica
    What's your name?
[09:22] (Flashback) Philomela
    Philomela.
[09:24] (Flashback) Veronica
    I'd like you to be my attendant, Philomela.
[09:31] (Flashback) Philomela
    But I'm a failure.
[09:34] (Flashback) Philomela
    Someone else could do better.
[09:38] (Flashback) Veronica
    Listen, Philomela.
[09:40] (Flashback) Veronica
    This isn't a request. It's an order.
[09:48] (Flashback) Philomela
    I understand.
[09:50] (Flashback) Veronica
    That's it. Good girl.
[10:00] (Flashback) Veronica
    To tell you the truth, I'm used to poison,
[10:04] (Flashback) Veronica
    but there are a few I'm still
    developing a tolerance to.
[10:07] (Flashback) Veronica
    So I'll need your help in the meantime.
[10:09] (Flashback) Philomela
    Yes.
[10:11] (Flashback) Veronica
    The Rickenbackers are a medical family.
[10:14] (Flashback) Veronica
    And yet, we're killing other members of
    our family, even. It's all so tedious.
[10:18] (Flashback) Veronica
    Do you have any siblings?
[10:21] (Flashback) Philomela
    No.
[10:22] (Flashback) Philomela
    Just my father's familiar.
[10:25] (Flashback) Veronica
    What about your father and mother?
[10:28] (Flashback) Philomela
    I don't remember.
[10:30] (Flashback) Philomela
    I heard they did something awful and died.
[10:34] (Flashback) Veronica
    I see.
[10:37] (Flashback) Veronica
    There. All done.
[10:50] Veronica
    Awful, isn't it?
[10:52] Veronica
    Everyone besides her is a villain.
[10:55] Veronica
    What a horrible bedtime story, isn't it?
[10:59] Chise
    I don't sense she's lying.
[11:02] Veronica
    So, what are you trying to accomplish?
[11:07] Veronica
    I'm her master. What would you do in my shoes?
[11:13] Chise
    If there's anything she wishes for...
[11:16] Veronica
    Even though she doesn't even
    know what she wants herself?
[11:21] Chise
    Well...
[11:24] Veronica
    I'll ask again, Chise Hatori.
[11:28] Veronica
    You have no connection to this tiny little
    world where this is all happening.
[11:33] Veronica
    Why are you so insistent on
    involving yourself with her?
[11:45] Veronica
    You're adorable.
[11:52] Veronica
    Well, let's hurry.
[11:54] Veronica
    The others will catch up to us.
[11:56] Chise
    Oh, yeah.
[12:02] Violet
    This is the mirror that takes on
    your form when you answer its call.
[12:09] Violet
    You sure are boring.
[12:11] Violet
    What, are you still upset?
[12:14] Rian
    I was just thinking about
    why you stopped me.
[12:19] (Flashback) Violet
    No!
[12:21] Violet
    I was doing you a favor by holding you
    back from charging in like an idiot.
[12:25] Rian
    What do you mean, idiot?
[12:27] Violet
    Can you really say that
    after what you did?
[12:32] Violet
    I can't believe you're
    the heir to your house.
[12:34] Violet
    I wouldn't want Jasmine working with you.
[12:37] Rian
    I told you, I'm not...
[12:38] Rian
    Wait, I thought you were taking
     over the St. George house.
[12:42] Violet
    I dunno...
[12:44] Violet
    The old folks keep nagging me to take over.
[12:48] Violet
    But y'know how I like
    dressing up as a woman?
[12:51] Rian
    Yeah.
[12:52] Rian
    I'm sure that would be useful for sorcery.
[12:54] Violet
    That's the thing!
[12:56] Violet
    You know how cross-dressing is useful
    for special kinds of sorcery?
[13:01] Violet
    The thing is, I only do it because I want to.
     I don't care about what my family has to say.
[13:07] Violet
    But then my family started getting all up in
    Jasmine's business, since she's so proper.
[13:13] Violet
    She cut her long hair short.
[13:16] Violet
    Even started behaving more like a guy.
[13:21] Violet
    Like she's trying to trade places with me.
[13:25] Violet
    Some kids are just too honest to
    get themselves out of trouble.
[13:30] Violet
    That's never occurred to you, has it?
[13:33] Rian
    Are you talking about Isaac and Philomela?
[13:38] Violet
    Rian, no bird is born knowing how to fly.
[13:43] Violet
    They have to be taught by
    the one protecting them.
[13:47] Violet
    But there are some humans
    who are never taught, either.
[13:50] Violet
    Worse, some have their wings pulled
    out and buried under rocks.
[13:55] Violet
    Hardly any hatchlings have the luck or
    the strength to leave such a nest.
[14:04] Violet
    Unlike you, who was taught
    everything and granted everything.
[14:12] Rian
    You're in the same position I am.
[14:16] Rian
    And yet you've thought about it this much.
[14:18] Violet
    You just aren't thinking enough!
[14:20] Violet
    Isaac deserves an award
    for taking care of you!
[14:25] Violet
    Okay.
[14:25] Violet
    I'm done talking.
[14:27] Violet
    And collecting stamps.
[14:30] Rian
    What exactly do I hope will happen?
[14:36] Philomela
    Rian.
[14:41] Philomela
    Rian.
[14:44] Rian
    Philo—
[14:45] Violet
    Rian.
[14:49] Kevin
    What was that for?!
[14:52] Violet
    Oh, it's just Kevin and the others.
[15:07] Isaac
    It's this window.
[15:11] Isaac
    Supposedly, those who look through it
    sometimes see their own final moments.
[15:15] Isaac
    I wonder if it's true.
[15:18] Isaac
    I don't see anything. Do you?
[15:20] Philomela
    It would be bad if you could.
[15:24] Isaac
    You're right.
[15:32] Isaac
    You can always bail if you
    don't feel up to this.
[15:35] Isaac
    I'll let them know at the goal.
[15:40] Philomela
    You've been sticking up for me lately.
[15:45] Philomela
    Why?
[15:47] Philomela
    Are you getting something out of it?
[15:52] Isaac
    It seems like Rian—or rather, all kinds
    of things—make you feel inferior.
[15:58] Isaac
    I'm the same way, so I just
    can't stand by and watch.
[16:02] Philomela
    You're Rian's friend.
[16:04] Philomela
    And aren't the Farrars the blacksmiths
[16:07] Philomela
    that the Scrimgeour family's been
    depending on for generations?
[16:13] Philomela
    At the very least, you aren't
    shadows like the Sergeants.
[16:19] Isaac
    Growing up with guy friends gets messy.
[16:23] Isaac
    We end up competing, even if we
    don't mean to hurt each other.
[16:26] Isaac
    And I have this habit of
    learning only after I mess up.
[16:30] Isaac
    I could never keep up with Rian.
[16:33] Isaac
    Like, when I get depressed or distracted,
    I can't focus on the family business.
[16:43] Isaac
    We work with fire, so the slightest
    negligence can cause a horrible accident.
[16:48] Isaac
    I have just a little experience with the
    kinds of things said to you, too.
[16:56] Isaac
    Rian thinks he isn't very talented.
[16:59] Isaac
    He thinks anything he can
    do, anyone else can do, too.
[17:03] Isaac
    He doesn't know what it's like not being
    capable... what it's like being stuck.
[17:10] Isaac
    Don't you think so?
[17:12] Philomela
    I do.
[17:14] Isaac
    Right?
[17:15] Isaac
    I think you might be the best
    person to tell him that.
[17:18] Philomela
    Don't you...
[17:20] Philomela
    Don't you ever tell him?
[17:22] Philomela
    How can you be around him
     after all you've been through?
[17:28] Isaac
    I'm not his rival or anything.
[17:31] Isaac
    So nothing I say to him sticks.
[17:34] Isaac
    But...
[17:38] Isaac
    But he's a good guy, so I can't
    bring myself to hate him.
[17:42] Isaac
    Maybe that's why I hang around.
[17:46] Philomela
    Yeah.
[17:48] Philomela
    He's straightforward.
[17:50] Philomela
    He isn't good at thinking
    deeply about people.
[17:54] Philomela
    I can't stand it.
[18:00] Isaac
    Well, it looks like we're headed
    to an upper floor next.
[18:07] Isaac
    Tied down.
[18:08] Isaac
    By the outer world.
[18:10] Isaac
    By herself.
[18:12] Isaac
    Unable to move.
[18:14] Isaac
    Suffocated.
[18:16] Isaac
    Which is why...
[18:18] Isaac
    Hey, Philomela...
[18:22] Isaac
    We'll go crazy if we don't vent sometimes.
[18:25] Isaac
    Both of us.
[18:28] Isaac
    There are a few more things we need
     in order to move forward.
[18:37] Veronica
    This is the last spot. The observatory.
[18:45] Chise
    The stars.
[18:46] Veronica
    It's something like a planetarium.
[18:51] Violet
    Martin, what's the movie we're watching?
[18:54] Martin
    A brand-new movie from this year!
[18:56] Martin
    An avalanche of sharks, attacking
    on a snowy mountain!
[18:59] Sophia
    Where's the horror movie?
[19:01] Chise
    Sharks? On a snowy mountain?
[19:15] Chise
    Huh?
[19:16] Chise
    What's that smell?
[19:21] Kevin
    Here we go!
[19:26] Rian
    Isaac.
[19:29] Rian
    I—
[19:30] Isaac
    I think you ought to
    apologize to Philomela,
[19:34] Isaac
    whether she accepts your apology or not.
[19:37] Isaac
    Also, I'm not taking back what
     I said to you, nor am I apologizing.
[19:43] Isaac
    I honestly want you to change.
[19:48] Rian
    All right.
[19:49] Rian
    I'll be careful.
[19:52] Rian
    Violet told me the same thing.
[19:55] Isaac
    Come on...
[19:58] Isaac
    You basically just admitted you didn't
     take it to heart when I talked to you.
[20:04] Isaac
    Nah.
[20:05] Isaac
    Never mind.
[20:07] Isaac
    Seriously.
[20:09] Isaac
    You're so weirdly straightforward and dense.
[20:15] Roy
    Man, that was a hell of a way to waste time.
[20:17] Martin
    Refreshingly bold plot, right?
[20:19] Kevin
    Even though everybody died a spectacular death?
[20:21] Tory
    Well, aren't you all up quite late?
[20:26] Tory
    Enjoy the watch party, everyone?
[20:30] Tariq
    We're escorting you naughty
    kids to the dorms.
[20:33] All
    Okay.
[20:44] Tory
    What's the matter?
[20:46] Tory
    You seem down.
[20:47] Rian
    It's nothing.
[20:53] Jasmine
    Violet.
[21:00] Jasmine
    Tonight was a lot of fun.
[21:03] Jasmine
    I liked hanging out with everyone.
[21:07] Kevin
    Where'd that come from?
[21:08] Kevin
    What are we, strangers?
[21:09] Beatrice
    Are we still doing something?
[21:11] Lazarus
    Let's go to bed.
[21:12] Violet
    I'm glad you had fun.
[21:15] Violet
    Whoever you are.
[21:31] Ghost
    Come play with me again.
[21:39] Chise
    The kimodameshi...
[21:41] Violet
    ...was a huge success.
[21:44] Tory
    Well, what a skillful
    impostor that ghost was.
[21:48] Tariq
    That was a student from about 30
    years ago, if I recall correctly.
[21:58] Lazarus
    Get off me, Kevin! You're heavy!
[22:00] Kevin
    Hold me!
[22:00] Elias
    Chise.
[22:02] Kevin
    Don't leave me behind!
[22:04] Elias
    Alexandra is asking you to
    come to the nurse's office.
[22:11] Elias
    As quick as you can.
