[00:05] Homeless Man A
    Have you seen Tom lately?
[00:08] Homeless Man B
    Nope, I haven't.
[00:11] Homeless Man A
    Jimmy and Norton are missing, too.
[00:14] Homeless Man B
    Hope they aren't getting beat up somewhere.
[00:17] Homeless Man B
    Scary thought.
[00:20] Homeless Man A
    They might have keeled over
    and died in the cold.
[00:45] Chise
    Philomela...
[02:29] Liza
    Welcoming your father and mother, huh?
[02:32] Liza
    I see.
[02:33] Liza
    More sinful than Orpheus, who traveled
    to the underworld to seek his wife.
[02:42] Liza
    You did that to yourself just
    to bring back the dead?
[02:48] Philomela
    Yes.
[02:49] Philomela
    That's right.
[02:51] Philomela
    So I'd like you to stop
    closing off the College.
[02:56] Philomela
    That's my only wish.
[02:59] Philomela
    You wouldn't want to end up with
    people who are as dried out
[03:04] Philomela
    and lifeless as a pouch of
    forgotten potpourri, would you?
[03:13] Chise
    Philomela!
[03:16] Narcissus
    Stay out!
[03:28] Zoe
    The amulet!
[03:32] Chise
    Even though she's changed form, I can tell.
[03:36] Chise
    That's Philomela.
[03:38] Liza
    Philomela Sargant.
[03:40] Liza
    That's her?
[03:46] Liza
    She's begun corrupting the instructors, too.
[03:50] Liza
    She passes through even mental defenses.
[03:53] Liza
    There must be a god inside that thing.
[03:56] Philomela
    Principal, I'm pleading with you...
[04:00] Philomela
    Open the College. Please?
[04:07] Liza
    Florence.
[04:30] Philomela
    Thank you very much.
[04:33] Philomela
    Well, with that...
[04:40] Gregory
    Follower of the moon,
[04:42] Gregory
    incarnate of the moon, one
    who bears unwanted pity...
[04:49] Gregory
    Sing your rage. Sing your hatred!
[04:54] Chise
    Philome—
[04:55] Elias
    No.
[05:15] Philomela
    Alcyone...?
[05:19] Alcyone
    Lady Philomela...
[05:33] Gregory
    A werewolf!
[06:13] Alexandra
    Give us a hand if you aren't injured!
[06:17] Seth
    Would you happen to know?
[06:22] Tory
    You all right?
[06:32] Tory
    I don't think you can get up yet.
[06:34] Tory
    Stay put until your magic power comes back.
[06:36] Tory
    I'm gonna go help out.
[06:43] Rian
    Shit.
[06:45] Liza
    I trust there are none dead.
[06:48] Liza
    Go help in the nurse's office.
[06:51] Chise
    Principal.
[06:53] Liza
    Ah, you kids are safe.
[06:57] Liza
    Thank goodness.
[06:58] Chise
    We're going after them.
[07:00] Lucy
    I agree. We need to chase them.
[07:02] Liza
    Forget it.
[07:04] Liza
    She's clearly been far too corrupted
    by the resident of the magic book.
[07:12] Liza
    She's beginning to lose her humanity.
[07:17] Liza
    Her body and mind will soon
    fail, and she'll be done.
[07:23] Chise
    So it was all right to kill her?
[07:27] Chise
    I understand you were never intent
    on trying to hold her down.
[07:32] Liza
    I'm responsible for this College.
[07:36] Liza
    I must prioritize the health and
    safety of the staff and students.
[07:43] Liza
    It isn't prudent to spend time on someone
[07:46] Liza
    who's well aware that
    she's destroying herself.
[07:50] Liza
    Unless, that is...
[07:51] Liza
    You're suggesting I should have placed
    everyone's lives on the line to save her alone?
[08:00] Chise
    Well...
[08:01] Liza
    Or do you think you could
    have done something?
[08:05] Liza
    Perhaps your courage has helped you
    through many past ordeals.
[08:11] Liza
    If the result of that is that arm of yours,
    I can only conclude that you are a fool.
[08:18] Liza
    Chise Hatori, if you truly
    want to protect your friends,
[08:25] Liza
    you'll have to put away your pathetic,
    self-congratulatory sense of compassion.
[08:40] Chise
    I know...
[08:43] Chise
    I know I have to hold back.
[08:47] Chise
    I know I'm just doing it to satisfy myself.
[08:52] Chise
    But...
[08:56] Chise
    If I hold back now, she'll die!
[09:10] Elias
    Good on you.
[09:15] Chise
    E-Elias?
[09:18] Elias
    You would normally have darted off by now.
[09:22] Elias
    I hear that when a puppy learns
    to stay, it needs to be rewarded.
[09:29] Chise
    R-Right...
[09:31] Liza
    Ainsworth?
[09:35] Elias
    The College is a place that
    raises prospective sorcerers.
[09:39] Elias
    But, Chise, what about us?
[09:44] Elias
    What are we?
[09:50] Chise
    Mages.
[09:53] Elias
    That's right.
[09:55] Elias
    Had you formed a contract
    of any sort with her?
[09:59] Chise
    A contract...
[10:05] Chise
    I made a promise.
[10:08] Chise
    That we'd make potpourri
    together someday.
[10:12] Elias
    Then, as a mage, you'll have
    to uphold that contract.
[10:18] Liza
    Ainsworth.
[10:20] Liza
    Don't you dare tell me...
[10:22] Elias
    So long as we are bound by a contract,
    a mage must act as a mage.
[10:29] Elias
    We'll be away for a while.
[10:31] Liza
    Nothing good can come of
    spoiling your apprentices.
[10:36] Elias
    We're simply following the rules.
[10:47] Elias
    Chise?
[10:48] Lucy
    Mister Ainsworth.
[10:50] Lucy
    Take me with you, please!
[10:52] Zoe
    M-Me, too!
[10:54] Isaac
    And me.
[10:55] Elias
    I can't take you all.
[10:57] Lucy
    The one who killed my family
    ran off with my classmate.
[11:02] Lucy
    I won't be satisfied until
     I get an answer out of them!
[11:06] Isaac
    And I can't have her dying now.
[11:09] Isaac
    We're finally about to
    become venting buddies.
[11:12] Zoe
    I, er, well...
[11:15] Zoe
    I'm worried about them.
[11:17] Zoe
    B-Besides, the only thing
    I can do to help is—
[11:21] Zaccheroni
    Plotting a coup, are we?
[11:24] Zoe
    Mister Zaccheroni!
[11:26] Zaccheroni
    Sounds good to me!
[11:27] Zaccheroni
    Why not go against the
    grown-ups' orders for once?
[11:32] Zaccheroni
    I'll tag along if you need some help.
[11:35] Elias
    What is your goal?
[11:38] Zaccheroni
    You get a bonus for good deeds.
[11:41] Zaccheroni
    More trustworthy than
     an unpaid service, no?
[11:47] Elias
    You're right.
[11:49] Elias
    In that case, I'm not responsible
    for what happens to any of you.
[11:55] Zaccheroni
    Hear that? Sir Mage here won't
    protect anyone but his apprentice.
[11:59] Zaccheroni
    Aspiring sorcerers, you're going to have
    to fend for yourselves as much as you can.
[12:04] Zaccheroni
    But hey, if it comes to it,
    I'll protect your lives.
[12:12] Lucy
    Chise?
[12:25] Liza
    Florence?
[12:33] Chise
    Children...
[12:35] Chise
    My brethren, burning in accursed rage...
[12:41] Chise
    Crawl, if you cannot fly.
[12:44] Chise
    Go to the bottom.
[12:48] Chise
    Go, consuming my path of blood.
[12:54] Elias
    This is bad.
[12:59] Seth
    Lucy!
[13:04] Seth
    They're gone.
[13:06] Gregory
    That's a mage?
[13:08] Gregory
    There's no way something like
    that is a mere mage.
[13:24] Izak
    Yule's just around the corner.
[13:27] Izak
    I wish we could get some progress, already.
[13:31] Marielle
    I've told you so many times.
[13:34] Marielle
    I don't know when—
[13:47] Izak
    Did you see that?
[13:48] Marielle
    Of course.
[13:50] Marielle
    I wish I could pretend I didn't.
[13:53] Izak
    Should we?
[13:54] Marielle
    Idiot.
[13:55] Marielle
    A red dragon on this island...
[13:58] Marielle
    This is going to be a nightmare.
[14:03] Chise
    Follow... follow...
[14:06] Chise
    Follow the scent.
[14:11] Chise
    Seek out her heart.
[14:41] Lizbeth
    You're back, I see.
[14:43] Lizbeth
    And you've become quite unsightly.
[14:47] Lizbeth
    Philomela.
[14:56] Lizbeth
    It seems you've carried out
    your work properly for once.
[15:02] Philomela
    Grandmother...
[15:04] Philomela
    Father and Mother will come back now, right?
[15:10] Philomela
    Both of them, finally...
[15:16] Philomela
    What I did...
[15:18] Philomela
    What I did was praiseworthy, wasn't it?
[15:29] Lizbeth
    Alcyone, take her underground by sundown.
[15:34] Alcyone
    Right...
[15:36] Lizbeth
    You wait outside.
[15:38] Lizbeth
    Deal with anyone who
    interferes with the ritual.
[15:55] Zoe
    Where am I?
[16:03] Zoe
    Lucy.
[16:04] Zoe
    Lucy.
[16:07] Lucy
    Zoe.
[16:08] Zoe
    Are you all right?
[16:10] Isaac
    I'm right here, too.
[16:12] Zoe
    Isaac!
[16:13] Isaac
    I remember up to being
    swallowed by black liquid...
[16:20] Lucy
    That's all I remember, too.
[16:22] Lucy
    Where are we?
[16:24] Elias
    The inside.
[16:28] Elias
    The only way I could take you with me
    was to bring you inside myself.
[16:35] Zaccheroni
    Hey, you, mage.
[16:37] Zaccheroni
    Could you give me a little more space?
[16:40] Zaccheroni
    I'm stuck.
[16:41] Elias
    You're just too big.
[16:45] Isaac
    So we're on your inside now...
[16:50] Isaac
    Why?
[16:52] Elias
    Because she's moving.
[16:54] Elias
    She's on the move.
[16:56] Elias
    She seems to be following her scent
    through the underground veins.
[17:00] Isaac
    Her scent?
[17:02] Elias
    The scent of her emotions.
[17:03] Elias
    The scent of her soul.
[17:05] Elias
    We tend to rely on such things.
[17:09] Zaccheroni
    You sound like animals.
[17:11] Elias
    Humans are animals, too.
[17:13] Elias
    But you wouldn't be able to
    dive with us on your own.
[17:18] Elias
    So I had to take you inside me.
[17:21] Lucy
    Underground veins?
[17:23] Lucy
    There's no way mere humans
    could pass through.
[17:26] Lucy
    That's no different than going
    directly into the ground.
[17:28] Elias
    That's a rule for sorcerers.
[17:31] Elias
    There is no such rule for mages.
[17:34] Elias
    Though, there aren't many left
    who can do these sorts of things.
[17:40] Zoe
    What's an underground vein?
[17:42] Isaac
    An underground passageway for power.
[17:45] Isaac
    Some are one-way streets.
[17:47] Isaac
    Some are two-way.
[17:49] Isaac
    Some are tumultuous, like storms.
[17:52] Isaac
    Some would say it's pure
    magic power and vitality.
[17:55] Lucy
    Others theorize that it's
    a mass of organisms.
[17:59] Isaac
    Big cities often form where
    underground veins pass.
[18:05] Zoe
    Mother's Back!
[18:07] Lucy
    Say what?
[18:09] Zoe
    Oh, it's a phrase from my people's language.
[18:11] Zoe
    Strings of land where water and trees
    and animals and people gather.
[18:16] Isaac
    You have the same concept even
    in a different language, huh?
[18:20] Zaccheroni
    And that silly girl is swimming through
    those parts of the ground, huh?
[18:24] Elias
    Yeah.
[18:26] Zaccheroni
    Mister mage, you lot create magic with the help
    of fairies and sprites and such, don't you?
[18:34] Zaccheroni
    Whose help did she receive in
    order to become a damn dragon?
[18:41] Zoe, Isaac & Lucy
    A dragon?
[18:44] Elias
    We're surfacing.
[18:47] Elias
    Magic is never overturned.
[18:50] Elias
    So we can think about it later.
[19:26] Elias
    All of you, wait here.
[19:29] Elias
    I promise I'll come get you out later.
[19:33] Lucy
    Hold on—
[19:33] Elias
    Go out and make eye contact with it now...
[19:38] Elias
    and you'll be consumed by
    old maternal instincts.
[19:49] Goddess of Winter
    There you are.
[19:51] Goddess of Winter
    Have you prepared the offering, maiden?
[19:57] Subordinate A
    Ms. Lizbeth was right.
[19:59] Subordinate A
    We have intruders.
[20:01] Subordinate C
    They have quite a bit of magic power.
[20:03] Subordinate A
    Sorcerers?
[20:05] Subordinate C
    There seem to be several, but
    I can't make a determination.
[20:08] Subordinate C
    All I can see is one.
[20:11] Subordinate C
    A child with red hair.
[20:13] Subordinate C
    No, another one...
[20:16] Subordinate C
    A woman?
[20:17] Subordinate C
    No, that isn't...
[20:19] Subordinate C
    That's...
[20:20] Subordinate C
    A...
[20:31] Subordinate A
    Hey!
[20:32] Subordinate A
    What's wrong?
[20:32] Subordinate A
    Hey!
[20:34] Subordinate C
    A-A crow!
[20:41] Alcyone
    Lady Philomela...
[20:43] Philomela
    Will she...
[20:45] Philomela
    Will Grandmother really bring
    them both back to life?
[20:53] Philomela
    Alcyone...
[20:54] Philomela
    Why do I want to have them back?
[20:59] Philomela
    I...
[21:01] Philomela
    I don't even remember what
    Mother and Father look like.
[21:09] Philomela
    But...
[21:11] Philomela
    But if they come back, I'm sure...
[21:16] Philomela
    They would praise me, even for what I am.
[21:24] Alcyone
    What shall I do?
[21:26] Alcyone
    What am I to do at a time like this?
[21:30] Alcyone
    What could I possibly do?
[21:35] Alcyone
    I thought I knew...
[21:38] Alcyone
    Something's wrong.
[21:39] Alcyone
    This can't be...
[21:49] Alcyone
    I was certain I'd recorded it.
[21:55] Alcyone
    Ever since then...
[22:04] (Flashback) Adam
    Hey.
[22:05] (Flashback) Adam
    I'm Adam Sargant.
[22:08] (Flashback) Adam
    I'm your master, Alcyone.
[22:12] (Flashback) Adam
    I'll leave you in charge of the
    most important task in the world.
[22:16] (Flashback) Adam
    Right, Iris?
