**[01:32] Morrigan**
Now, then...
**[01:34] Morrigan**
Shall we bring this to its conclusion?
**[01:55] Philomela**
One stepping past the wreckage of time...
**[02:01] Philomela**
Who walks through the ashes...
**[02:06] Philomela**
Lord of the wreckage of time...
**[02:11] Elias**
It's nothing like when I read it in hiding.
**[02:15] Elias**
Perhaps it's made to be
handled by human hands.
**[02:35] Chise**
It reacted!
**[02:38] Chise**
Philomela?
**[02:40] Chise**
Philomela!
**[02:46] Lizbeth**
You're a useless, dim-witted girl.
**[02:52] Lizbeth**
If only you hadn't been born,
**[02:54] Lizbeth**
Adam and Lilith might
have managed to escape.
**[03:03] Chise**
Philomela!
**[03:05] Chise**
Philomela, are you all right?
**[03:06] Lucy**
Something's interfering!
**[03:13] Lizbeth**
If you'd been more capable,
I wouldn't have had to hit you.
**[03:20] Lizbeth**
But that's fine.
**[03:22] Lizbeth**
I'm glad you were born incompetent.
**[03:27] Lizbeth**
You're going to prove useful to
me in the end, after all.
**[03:42] Philomela**
You were the one who wanted me
to be that way, Grandmother.
**[03:47] Philomela**
All so that I would listen to you.
**[03:50] Philomela**
So that I wouldn't be able
to think about myself.
**[03:54] Philomela**
You cursed me.
**[03:56] Philomela**
But I was taught...
**[04:00] Philomela**
I'm allowed to ignore you.
**[04:02] Philomela**
To get angry.
**[04:03] Philomela**
To shout.
**[04:05] Philomela**
I can choose for myself
and make my own wishes.
**[04:10] Philomela**
So that's what I hope to do.
**[04:13] Lizbeth**
That thing...
**[04:15] Philomela**
Chise gave me this Thurisaz rune.
**[04:18] Philomela**
The single letter of the rune
has more than just one meaning.
**[04:28] Philomela**
"Gate."
**[04:31] Philomela**
"Giant."
**[04:34] Philomela**
"Spirit."
**[04:37] Philomela**
"Thorn."
**[04:40] Philomela**
And... "Thor's hammer!"
**[04:46] Lizbeth**
Philomela!
**[04:46] Philomela**
Grandmother, I'm certain there's
so much that I want to do.
**[04:52] Philomela**
So I'm going to undo
the curse you've put on me.
**[05:10] Lucy**
Hey, are you...
**[05:11] Philomela**
Everyone, hang on to me!
**[05:16] Chise**
Okay.
**[05:17] Lucy**
You don't need to tell me.
**[05:19] Isaac**
You can count on us.
**[05:26] Philomela**
Here, a gate tantamount
to an opening is closed.
**[05:31] Philomela**
Rend from our world the withering fingers.
**[05:34] Philomela**
Sever our gaze from the
stars projected in the sky.
**[05:37] Philomela**
Greet from unreachable distances
the welcoming arms.
**[05:43] Chise**
She's taking my magic power!
**[05:49] Elias**
There's something there.
**[05:50] Elias**
Something else.
**[05:54] Morrigan**
So you've come, attracted by
the scent to aid a heathen mother.
**[05:59] Morrigan**
My maiden is sought after by many indeed.
**[06:02] Philomela**
I offer you a song of return to far away!
**[06:25] Elias**
Don't look.
**[06:54] Tory**
Are you up?
**[06:56] Student A**
Ow...
**[06:57] Student B**
What was I doing?
**[07:01] May**
Miss Veronica!
**[07:03] April**
Thank goodness.
**[07:10] Chise**
It's gone?
**[07:18] Morrigan**
That was a delightful song.
**[07:21] Morrigan**
Little maiden, shackled by a foreign god...
**[07:24] Morrigan**
You've freed yourself well.
**[07:26] Morrigan**
That concludes the festivities.
**[07:29] Morrigan**
I've not fought in such
a fruitful battle in a long time.
**[07:32] Morrigan**
In recognition of this pleasure, I'll not
demand any more compensation.
**[07:38] Morrigan**
My maiden, never forget the sacrifice.
**[07:48] Chise**
Yes.
**[08:09] Adam**
Hey there.
**[08:10] Adam**
That was rather pathetic.
**[08:12] Adam**
Your son doesn't exist anymore.
**[08:16] Adam**
I'm not Adam.
**[08:21] Lizbeth**
Why didn't you come to kill me?
**[08:27] Lizbeth**
You could have done it.
**[08:29] Lizbeth**
You're my son, after all.
**[08:32] Adam**
You could have, too.
**[08:35] Adam**
Lizbeth Sargant.
**[08:38] Adam**
She was birthed by
the woman you so despised.
**[08:40] Adam**
You could have killed her.
**[08:44] Adam**
But you didn't.
**[08:55] Lizbeth**
I simply thought I could
make use of her someday.
**[09:00] Adam**
What a pitiful woman.
**[09:03] Adam**
So strong that you couldn't
welcome anyone inside.
**[09:06] Adam**
Nor did you try.
**[09:09] Adam**
In the end, nobody stayed by your side.
**[09:13] Adam**
My task appears to be complete, too.
**[09:19] Adam**
Goodbye, Adam's daughter.
**[09:36] Philomela**
Grandmother, you...
**[09:38] Lizbeth**
Spare me!
**[09:39] Lizbeth**
I have no need for your words!
**[09:44] Philomela**
There's something I want to ask.
**[09:46] Philomela**
Why did you attack the Webster family?
**[09:51] Philomela**
I need to know.
**[09:53] Philomela**
I need to explain to Lucy.
**[09:59] Lizbeth**
The fewer who know...
**[10:13] Zaccheroni**
You're pretty nimble!
**[10:15] Chise**
Zaccheroni!
**[10:18] Zaccheroni**
Hey, you're all alive.
**[10:22] Zaccheroni**
Turns out you're a pretty good babysitter.
**[10:25] Elias**
Same to you.
**[10:30] Zaccheroni**
I see.
**[10:31] Zaccheroni**
I don't know whose familiar that
is, but that must be the target.
**[10:37] Chise**
Ruth!
**[10:38] Ruth**
Right!
**[10:53] Elias**
Chise!
**[10:56] Werewolf (female)**
My...
**[10:57] Werewolf (female)**
My child...
**[11:00] Werewolf (female)**
still lives!
**[11:06] Elias**
Chise, are you all right?
**[11:08] Chise**
Yes.
**[11:09] Philomela**
The book...
**[11:12] Chise**
Philomela.
**[11:14] Elias**
Like what happens to Chise all the time.
**[11:17] Elias**
You've exhausted yourself.
**[11:18] Chise**
Elias, what do we do?
**[11:20] Chise**
The book...
**[11:22] Elias**
It's been stolen. There's nothing we can do.
**[11:24] Elias**
Looks like Zaccheroni is after it, anyway.
**[11:27] Chise**
You really don't care.
**[11:32] Elias**
Chise?
**[11:34] Chise**
Did I do well this time?
**[11:45] Elias**
Here we go again.
**[11:48] Elias**
Oh, you.
**[11:51] Elias**
Let's go home.
**[13:08] Chise**
You're up.
**[13:09] Chise**
Morning!
**[13:13] Philomela**
Where were you?
**[13:15] Philomela**
Where am I?
**[13:17] Chise**
I just came to get this.
**[13:20] Philomela**
Mistletoe?
**[13:21] Chise**
Yeah.
**[13:22] Chise**
We're going to need it soon.
**[13:25] Philomela**
We are?
**[13:26] Chise**
Um...
**[13:28] Chise**
This is Elias's and my place.
**[13:31] Chise**
We figured it'd be a pain to
go back to the College, so...
**[13:35] Chise**
We're allowed to take some time off
until the investigations start.
**[13:39] Chise**
Everyone else at College is on
winter break, starting today.
**[13:44] Philomela**
Winter break...
**[13:47] Philomela**
I don't know what to think.
**[13:50] Philomela**
What should I worry about first?
**[13:53] Chise**
Is there anything you want
to do during the break?
**[13:59] Philomela**
What about you?
**[14:04] Chise**
Decorating the tree.
**[14:07] Chise**
Year-end shopping, and...
**[14:11] Chise**
I want to try some
party crackers this year.
**[14:15] Chise**
I gotta make some time for Silver,
too, since we've been away.
**[14:22] Philomela**
I...
**[14:26] Philomela**
I want to make potpourri.
**[14:28] Philomela**
With you.
**[14:34] Chise**
Of course!
**[14:37] Tory**
Wait! You're too fast!
**[14:39] Rian**
Have you tried running?
**[14:43] Chise**
Rían!
**[14:47] Chise**
Tory-san.
**[14:49] Tory**
Heya.
**[14:56] Rian**
You...
**[15:04] Rian**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[15:07] Yule Twin A**
The sun sleeps early.
**[15:09] Yule Twin B**
The moon and stars stay up all night.
**[15:12] Yule Twin B**
The night is coming.
**[15:14] Yule Twin B**
The long and short night is coming.
**[15:17] Chise**
Hello.
**[15:19] Chise**
Child of man, child of dragons,
child of the goddess.
**[15:23] Yule Twin B**
The mother of winter is waiting
eagerly at the hill to the east.
**[15:28] Yule Twin A**
You'd best be off.
**[15:31] Chise**
Yes.
**[15:35] Elias**
Tory.
**[15:37] Elias**
Could you take these two home?
**[15:40] Tory**
I'll go anywhere,
as long as it's warm there.
**[15:48] Chise**
Philomela, are you all right?
**[15:51] Philomela**
Yeah.
**[15:58] Tory**
Come on, let's go!
**[15:59] Tory**
I'm gonna freeze to death.
**[16:13] Rian**
You must be cold.
**[16:17] Rian**
Let's go.
**[16:21] Philomela**
Okay.
**[16:27] Chise**
Where's that hill to the east?
**[16:31] Elias**
Chise.
**[16:32] Elias**
Over there.
**[17:22] Young Morrigan**
Thank you for giving Mother
the snowdrop branches.
**[17:28] Young Morrigan**
May your next season be a bright one.
**[17:36] Ruth**
You're really lucky she didn't ask for the
heads of a hundred warriors or anything.
**[17:43] Elias**
You need to learn to say no.
**[17:46] Elias**
For real this time.
**[17:48] Chise**
Yes.
**[17:53] Chise**
Elias?
**[17:55] Elias**
These will be useful.
**[17:56] Elias**
And we can sell them,
so let's take some home.
**[17:59] Chise**
The snowdrops?
**[18:00] Elias**
In some regions, it's said that if you
find these before the end of the year,
**[18:04] Elias**
you'll be blessed with good luck.
**[18:07] Chise**
Huh...
**[18:10] Elias**
Here.
**[18:16] Chise**
It's such a pretty flower.
**[18:24] Chise**
So, for potpourri...
**[18:26] Chise**
The ingredients are really simple.
**[18:29] Chise**
We have plenty of needles, too.
**[18:31] Chise**
You can use whatever you want.
**[18:33] Philomela**
Whatever I want?
**[18:35] Zoe**
Oh, could I have some leftover
fabric and needles and thread?
**[18:40] Zoe**
I want to make some gifts for people, too.
**[18:43] Chise**
Of course.
**[19:36] Veronica**
Well done.
**[19:38] Veronica**
Did you acquire it?
**[19:40] Veronica**
I see.
**[19:42] Veronica**
Good for you.
**[19:45] April**
I brought a meal.
**[19:47] April**
How are you feeling?
**[19:53] Veronica**
Thanks.
**[19:54] Veronica**
I'll have it now.
**[20:01] Isaac**
I can't eat anymore...
**[20:05] Zoe**
Let's play cards next.
**[20:08] Lucy**
We're having cream stew next, apparently.
**[20:11] Isaac**
Insert happy shrieking noises.
**[20:13] Rian**
I'm still good for more.
**[20:14] Isaac**
Seriously?
**[20:15] Lucy**
Huh? Where's Chise?
**[20:21] Chise**
Silver made some.
**[20:24] Joseph**
I told you, I don't need any.
**[20:45] Joseph**
So...
**[20:47] Joseph**
What did you have to sacrifice
in order to survive this time?
**[20:50] Chise**
I think I did what I could.
**[20:54] Chise**
But because of that, a lot of people
died, and I didn't do anything about it.
**[21:02] Joseph**
And?
**[21:04] Chise**
I told myself it had to be done.
**[21:16] Joseph**
I told you.
**[21:18] Joseph**
What's the difference between you and me?
**[21:21] Joseph**
You've finally learned
to put yourself first.
**[21:24] Joseph**
Congrats.
**[21:26] Chise**
It's not like I wanted that.
**[21:29] Joseph**
That's still the result.
**[21:34] Joseph**
C'mon.
**[21:42] Chise**
Something I let go of.
**[21:45] Chise**
Something I wanted and got.
**[21:48] Chise**
Something I want to cherish.
**[21:52] Chise**
Something I cut loose.
**[21:55] Chise**
I still don't know what's right,
and I still need to go on?
**[22:09] Lucy**
You still haven't decided?
**[22:14] Philomela**
I don't know what my preferences are.
**[22:23] Philomela**
Uh... um...
**[22:25] Lucy**
You don't need to choose just one.
**[22:30] Lucy**
There's plenty.
**[22:32] Lucy**
Plenty of time, too.
**[22:36] Rian**
Hey, show me that card.
**[22:38] Isaac**
Not happening.
**[22:39] Isaac**
Don't push me!
**[22:57] Lucy**
What are you doing?!
**[22:59] Chise**
Um....
**[23:01] Chise**
What's this about?
**[23:02] Rian; Isaac; Zoe**
Sorry!
**[23:46] Lindel**
I can't be your ally this time around.
