**[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.
