[00:00] 2nd Sec
    Does everyone have their glasses?
[00:03] 2nd Sec
    Professor, if you would please begin.
[00:07] Goldran
    First, as the rumors have suggested,
[00:10] Goldran
    the hospital's current
    director, Lord Shalbard,
[00:12] Goldran
    will be retiring at the end of next month.
[00:15] Goldran
    The election for the vacant
    position will be held soon.
[00:19] Goldran
    Our faction is the largest in the hospital.
[00:23] Goldran
    We have more than enough votes.
[00:25] Goldran
    In addition, one of the seven
    great aristocrats, Lord Fennel,
[00:28] Goldran
    has promised to spare no
    expense in his support.
[00:32] Cresson
    Bro, this is crazy!
[00:34] Cresson
    Things are getting totally crazy!
[00:37] Zenos
    I'm not your brother, though.
[00:39] Cresson
    Aw, don't be like that! Right, little sis?
[00:42] Lily
    I wouldn't want a big
    brother like you, Cresson.
[00:45] Cresson
    Ice cold...
[00:47] Lily
    I'm my brother's guest, but you
    don't have one, huh, Cresson?
[00:53] Cresson
    I just have too many potential
    girlfriends to narrow it down, is all.
[00:56] Lily
    They all said no, huh?
[00:58] Lily
    Poor Cresson.
[01:00] Cresson
    Don't just throw it in my face!
[01:02] Lily
    Did you ask Umin?
[01:04] Cresson
    Huh?
[01:05] Cresson
    Why would I invite her of all people?
[01:09] Lily
    Because you bug her all the time.
[01:12] Lily
    And Carmilla told me that boys always
    bug the girls they like the most!
[01:17] Cresson
    Who the heck is Carmilla?
[01:21] Cresson
    It's fine! I've got my bro, Zeno.
[01:24] Cresson
    I'm gonna stick to him like glue!
[01:27] Zenos
    No, I'd rather you didn't.
[01:30] Goldran
    Those of you gathered here today
[01:33] Goldran
    are the chosen amongst
    all those in our group.
[01:36] Goldran
    Take pride in that!
[01:38] Goldran
    Cheers!
[01:39] Crowd
    Cheers!
[01:41] Cresson
    All right! Time to go suck up to the big shots!
[01:47] Zenos
    We'd better get to work, too.
[01:49] Lily
    Yeah!
[01:52] Zenos
    Afread went missing after being invited
    to a dinner party like this one.
[01:56] Zenos
    There was one thing I heard
    that caught my attention...
[02:00] Zenos
    At the time, Afread had been looking
    after Bons, who was drunk at that party.
[02:06] Zenos
    You're Mr. Bons, right?
[02:09] Bons
    Who the hell are you?
[02:11] Zenos
    I wanted to talk to you about something.
[02:15] Zenos
    At the last dinner party, there
    was a guy named Afread, right?
[02:18] Bons
    Oh, the kid from the other research lab.
[02:22] Bons
    I remember he brought me some
    water after I got hammered...
[02:27] Zenos
    Did you notice anything strange?
[02:28] Bons
    Not that I remember!
[02:30] Bons
    Next thing I knew, the sun was up.
[02:33] Zenos
    I see.
[02:35] Bons
    He was a good kid, though.
[02:38] Bons
    Most of these uppity types
    don't pay me any mind at all.
[02:42] Bons
    Goldran tells 'em I'm a liar
    and to steer clear of me.
[02:50] Zenos
    Why would he do that to the person he
    gave the position of first secretary to?
[02:53] Bons
    Not that I care.
[02:55] Bons
    I owe the man my carefree
    lifestyle, after all.
[02:59] Bons
    Let's hear it for our next hospital director!
[03:03] Lily
    Why'd you become his secretary?
[03:05] Bons
    We just go way back.
[03:07] Lily
    How'd you meet?
[03:08] Bons
    Well...
[03:11] Bons
    What's it matter? Leave me alone.
[03:15] Zenos
    He's totally hammered.
[03:17] Zenos
    He doesn't seem to remember anything.
[03:20] Lily
    But I think he does know something.
[03:29] Lily
    Let's see if we can get him
    a little bit more drunk.
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[05:05] Lily
    Uh-huh, uh-huh. Go on.
[05:07] Bons
    It's like I said!
[05:08] Bons
    When I was younger, I wanted
    to be a photographer!
[05:12] Lily
    Wow.
[05:13] Bons
    I know, ain't I amazing?!
[05:16] Lily
    You really are.
[05:18] Bons
    Y'know, back when I was younger...
[05:19] Zenos
    Lily, what is this?
[05:22] Lily
    If a man is drinking, and a girl
    tells him how impressive he is,
[05:26] Lily
    he'll get full of himself
    and just keep talking!
[05:29] Zenos
    And who taught you this?
[05:32] Lily
    Carmilla.
[05:33] Zenos
    That stupid specter...
[05:35] Zenos
    Say, Mr. Bons, what happened that
    time Afread brought you water?
[05:41] Bons
    If I remember right, we went
    outside to get some fresh air.
[05:45] Zenos
    Great idea. Let's see if
    that'll sober you up some.
[05:53] Lily
    What're you gonna do, Zenos?
[05:55] Zenos
    I had an idea.
[05:57] Zenos
    What if we re-create the same
    situation as with Afread?
[06:10] Bons
    Hey, Goldran, look!
    Just like back in the day.
[06:14] Zenos
    Does he think I'm Goldran?
[06:18] Bons
    You're gonna be nobility once you're
    director of the Royal Hospital, right?
[06:23] Bons
    Looks like you've got an in
    with Lord Fennel again, huh?
[06:27] Zenos
    "Again"?
[06:28] Bons
    Come on, don't play dumb!
[06:31] Bons
    That day thirteen years ago is
    why you are who you are now!
[06:37] Zenos
    What day thirteen years ago?
[06:39] Bons
    Come on, don't tell me you forgot!
[06:41] Zenos
    Uh... no, I haven't.
[06:44] Zenos
    Man, it's been thirteen years already, huh?
[06:47] Bons
    The day your life changed, after getting
    nowhere with your research for so long!
[06:53] Bons
    The day of the explosion!
[06:56] Zenos
    Right...
[06:58] Bons
    Lord Fennel's backing got you a spot
    as a professor at the Royal Hospital!
[07:02] Bons
    And this time, you're gonna be director!
[07:05] Bons
    You are a slick one!
[07:14] Lily
    What now, Zenos?
[07:16] Zenos
    I feel like we're on the verge
    of something important,
[07:20] Zenos
    but he's not waking up,
    so I guess we're done.
[07:22] Zenos
    We'll leave him with one of
    the staff and take a break.
[07:30] Lily
    Are you done gathering info?
[07:34] Zenos
    I feel like I missed something...
[07:36] Carmilla
    I see!
[07:38] Zenos
    You scared me...
[07:38] Carmilla
    Allow me to reveal this mystery to you.
[07:42] Zenos
    What are you doing here?
[07:43] Zenos
    This mansion is crawling with healers.
[07:45] Carmilla
    Being a nuisance.
[07:46] Carmilla
    And being a nuisance is the most
    entertaining when it's the most dangerous!
[07:50] Zenos
    That doesn't even make sense.
    Why look so smug about it?
[07:53] Lily
    Can you figure out what happened, Carmilla?
[07:56] Carmilla
    Indeed.
[07:57] Carmilla
    That drunk's rambling gave me
    the gist of what's going on.
[08:01] Carmilla
    I'll have you know, despite appearances,
    I was a world-famous sage.
[08:05] Carmilla
    No mystery remains concealed
    from my unparalleled intellect!
[08:10] Zenos
    Wow, really?
[08:11] Carmilla
    Not at all.
[08:12] Zenos
    Why would you lie about that?
[08:19] Zophia
    Is Doc gonna be back anytime soon?
[08:22] Lynga
    Lynga thinks he will.
[08:24] Loewe
    I feel like I'm going to
    turn to stone from waiting.
[08:27] Zophia
    What are you two even doing here every day?
[08:31] Zophia
    Don't you have people to look
    after instead of loafing around?
[08:35] Lynga
    Lynga knows you're only saying that
[08:37] Lynga
    so you can sniff Sir Zenos's pillow in
    secret once you're the only one here.
[08:42] Loewe
    What?! You've been doing
    that, Zophia?! I'm jealous!
[08:46] Zophia
    I am not like the two of you!
[08:48] Zophia
    All right, enough of that.
[08:51] Zophia
    No point in facing off with you
    two when he's not even here.
[08:54] Lynga
    Agreed.
[08:55] Loewe
    He'd be upset with us if we got
    injured in the process, anyway.
[09:01] Lizardman
    Boss! Zonde got hurt real bad in an accident!
[09:04] Zophia
    What happened?
[09:05] Lizardman
    While we were working, a pillar
    broke, and it went through his gut!
[09:08] Zophia
    When will Doc be back?
[09:11] Lynga
    Lynga thinks if we wait for
    Sir Zenos, it'll be too late.
[09:14] Loewe
    I agree. We need to take him
    to Zenos as soon as we can.
[09:18] Zophia
    We can't.
[09:20] Zophia
    The doc's undercover with a fake identity.
[09:23] Zophia
    We'd ruin the whole thing.
[09:25] Lynga
    Lynga understands how you feel,
[09:27] Lynga
    but this is an emergency.
[09:29] Loewe
    Can you picture Zenos getting upset about it?
[09:35] Zophia
    Let's get ready to go!
[09:36] Zophia
    And we're going to pay him
    double his usual rate!
[09:40] Carmilla
    The day of an explosion, thirteen years ago...
[09:43] Carmilla
    It was the day a man, who had been an
    unremarkable researcher before then,
[09:47] Carmilla
    found his life had changed
    after saving a noble's life.
[09:50] Carmilla
    When you hear of someone owing
    a healer, what do you picture?
[09:53] Zenos
    The normal thing is to assume
    the healer healed them.
[09:57] Zenos
    So some kind of explosion happened
    where Lord Fennel got hurt...
[10:01] Zenos
    And Goldran healed him, I assume?
[10:04] Carmilla
    If it were that simple, it'd be a sweet story.
[10:06] Carmilla
    But consider how this story is kept secret.
[10:10] Zenos
    Why isn't it better known?
[10:12] Carmilla
    Circumstances best kept secret, I'd wager.
[10:14] Lily
    What circumstances?
[10:15] Carmilla
    If there was an explosion,
[10:17] Carmilla
    we can assume the noble
    had been hurt fairly badly.
[10:20] Carmilla
    Yet, Zenos, the person you met
    seemed to be right as rain.
[10:25] Carmilla
    Is that kind of complete healing possible?
[10:29] Zenos
    I mean, as long as the heart's intact,
    you could probably manage.
[10:32] Carmilla
    I wasn't asking about
    your extraordinary case.
[10:34] Carmilla
    Could this Goldran have managed it?
[10:39] Lily
    I think I get it!
[10:41] Lily
    Thirteen years ago, there was an explosion,
[10:44] Lily
    and the aristocrat got hurt...
[10:46] Lily
    But the person who healed him
    didn't take credit for it,
[10:50] Lily
    and when that person wandered off,
    Mr. Goldran happened to show up.
[10:55] Lily
    He made it seem to the aristocrat that
    he was the one who did the healing.
[10:58] Lily
    Mr. Bons saw it all happen
[11:00] Lily
    and used it to blackmail Mr. Goldran!
[11:03] Zenos
    But how does that tie into
    Afread's disappearance?
[11:08] Lily
    Maybe Mr. Bons got drunk at that
    dinner party, like this time,
[11:13] Lily
    and he told Afread the truth.
[11:16] Lily
    Then he went into hiding because
    he was scared that Mr. Bons
[11:22] Lily
    would remember he told him... maybe?
[11:26] Carmilla
    Very impressive, Lily!
[11:28] Lily
    Maybe I could be a detective!
[11:31] Lily
    Zenos's clinic and Lily's detective agency!
[11:35] Lily
    The mystery is unraveled!
[11:38] Cresson
    There you guys are!
[11:40] Cresson
    Since I got a few ins with the bigwigs,
[11:43] Cresson
    I figured I'd introduce you two to them!
[11:45] Lily
    I don't want a big brother
    who's a brown-noser.
[11:48] Cresson
    I will demonstrate how to be a success
    in the world to you, little sis.
[11:51] Cresson
    Come along!
[11:55] Carmilla
    What are you going to do, Zenos?
[11:58] Zenos
    About what?
[11:59] Carmilla
    You know what I mean.
[12:01] Zenos
    You mean the other possibility...
[12:04] Carmilla
    Then you did notice it.
[12:06] Zenos
    Hearing you describe it made me catch on.
[12:08] Zenos
    From the sound of this explosion,
[12:10] Zenos
    I doubted that Lord Fennel
    would be the only victim.
[12:14] Zenos
    A crowd of injured people, one of them
    looking more put-together than the rest.
[12:18] Zenos
    Goldran sought out a noble in
    order to get them in his debt.
[12:21] Zenos
    That's where his life
    transfer magic comes in.
[12:25] Zenos
    If he transferred the remaining life
    force from all those injured...
[12:29] Zenos
    Goldran would've chosen who survived.
[12:31] Carmilla
    And that's a crime?
[12:34] Zenos
    Triage wouldn't be a crime.
[12:36] Zenos
    But to sacrifice other people to save one...
[12:41] Zenos
    That's just...
[12:43] Zenos
    But if anyone survived what happened,
[12:46] Zenos
    and it was Afread... he probably
    wouldn't accept what Goldran did.
[12:50] Carmilla
    Vengeance, then?
[12:51] Zenos
    It's a possibility.
[12:54] Zenos
    Afread... Where in the world are you?
[12:58] Carmilla
    So, what will you do?
[13:01] Zenos
    Just tell Becker what I've learned.
[13:03] Zenos
    Judgment isn't my job.
[13:05] Zenos
    I'm just an underground healer.
[13:07] Carmilla
    I suppose that's true.
[13:11] Zenos
    Thanks, Carmilla.
[13:12] Carmilla
    Huh?
[13:13] Zenos
    You came to check up on me
    because you were worried, right?
[13:16] Zenos
    And thanks to you, I've figured some stuff out.
[13:18] Carmilla
    Fool! I only came to be a
    nuisance, to entertain myself.
[13:22] Carmilla
    Consider my debt to you for
    the zombie king matter repaid.
[13:29] Zenos
    What the...
[13:31] Zenos
    What's up?
[13:32] Cresson
    Bro. There seems to be some
    kinda commotion outside.
[13:39] Lily
    Wait, isn't that Umin?
[13:43] Umin
    I'm trying to tell you...
[13:44] Umin
    I just need to speak with someone named Zeno!
[13:47] Guards
    No one enters without an invitation!
[13:49] Umin
    Then could you please call him over?
    It's a bit of an emergency.
[13:52] Guards
    The professor is hosting this party!
[13:54] Guards
    You don't get to interrupt it.
[13:55] Loewe
    Excuse me!
[13:58] Lily
    Loewe?!
[14:00] Zenos
    What is she doing here?
[14:02] Zophia
    Idiot! Why would you holler like
    that where everyone can hear?!
[14:06] Loewe
    What other choice is there?
[14:08] Zophia
    Plenty! We can't get the doc in trouble.
[14:12] Lynga
    No, Lynga thinks Loewe is right.
[14:15] Lynga
    We don't have enough time
    to take things slow.
[14:18] Lily
    The others are here, too.
[14:21] Zenos
    Yeah...
[14:23] Goldran
    Are those demihumans?
[14:25] Goldran
    What are those lesser creatures
    doing at my mansion?
[14:29] Goldran
    Throw them out at once!
[14:39] Loewe
    There you are, Zenos.
[14:42] Loewe
    Sorry, but it's an emergency!
[14:44] Guest A
    Zeno...s? Wait, the special research student?
[14:47] Guest B
    Does he know these demihumans?
[14:50] Zenos
    What happened?
[14:52] Loewe
    Zonde is hurt badly.
[14:54] Loewe
    We were headed to the Royal Hospital dorms,
[14:56] Loewe
    but we ran into the glasses girl,
    and she told us where you were.
[15:00] Umin
    Uh... Yes, that's right.
[15:02] Goldran
    Hey! What exactly is your relationship
    with these demihumans?
[15:06] Cresson
    B-Bro... Say it ain't so...
[15:09] Zenos
    Loewe, what's Zonde's condition?
[15:11] Loewe
    His breathing is pretty shallow.
[15:13] Zophia
    Doc!
[15:14] Zophia
    I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
[15:18] Zophia
    I didn't wanna mess with your plans...
[15:21] Zophia
    But Zonde... It looks like he's gonna die...
[15:25] Zophia
    I'm begging you... Save him.
[15:29] Zenos
    All right. I'm on my way.
[15:31] Goldran
    Hold it! Are you insane?!
[15:34] Zenos
    No, I'm definitely sane.
[15:36] Goldran
    Impossible! After securing your
    path to glory among my faction,
[15:40] Goldran
    you'd lower yourself to save
    these demihuman peasants?!
[15:43] Goldran
    If you go, there's no coming back!
[15:44] Zenos
    Suit yourself.
[15:46] Goldran
    You don't realize what you're throwing
    away! A path to becoming elite!
[15:52] Zenos
    I'm not interested in being
    part of an elite faction.
[15:56] Zenos
    I'm just a healer.
[15:58] Zenos
    That's all I've ever been.
[16:01] Zenos
    Look after yourself, Cresson.
[16:05] Zenos
    Lily, come on.
[16:06] Lily
    Okay. Up I go!
[16:15] Cresson
    Bro... How could you?
[16:18] Goldran
    You're not as big a fool as he is, I take it?
[16:22] Goldran
    His future is done for.
[16:24] Goldran
    I'll make sure he never
    works as a healer again.
[16:28] Cresson
    You're right. He's a fool.
[16:31] Cresson
    I want to get promoted... get a
    nice house... have a hot woman...
[16:35] Cresson
    That's what I've been working for all along.
[16:40] Cresson
    But whether it was a dog or the
    daughter of a major aristocrat, he...
[16:46] Cresson
    No one likes me anyway, and I'm
    greedy, and people think I'm stupid,
[16:51] Cresson
    but even so...
[16:53] Cresson
    I'm a healer, too, damn it!
[16:56] Goldran
    What?!
[17:01] Cresson
    I, Cresson Wembley, have to withdraw
    from the faction due to circumstances!
[17:08] Cresson
    Bro! Wait up! I'll help with the healing!
[17:16] Zonde
    I'm so... sorry...
[17:18] Zenos
    It's fine.
[17:20] Zophia
    I'm sorry about this, Doc.
[17:22] Zenos
    It's okay. I'm sorry I was missing for so long.
[17:26] Lynga
    See? Just like I said, Sir Zenos doesn't mind.
[17:30] Loewe
    Indeed.
[17:32] Zenos
    We're almost done.
[17:34] Cresson
    Here's Cresson! Let me help with the...
[17:39] Cresson
    Aw, come on! Why'd I even quit?!
[17:43] Umin
    You're as stupid as ever.
[17:45] Cresson
    Sh-Shut up!
[17:47] Umin
    But I heard what you said.
[17:49] Umin
    You may be stupid, but that was also the
    most impressed I've ever been with you.
[17:54] Cresson
    Sh-Shut up! It's thanks to
    you guys I'm in this situation!
[17:58] Cresson
    So you'd better take responsibility.
[18:00] Umin
    Maybe you really are just unpleasant.
[18:04] Cresson
    That's right! I'm as bad as they come!
[18:07] Zophia
    Who's the kid, Doc?
[18:11] Zenos
    How do I put this?
[18:15] Zenos
    He's like a pesky little brother, I guess.
[18:23] Becker
    I see.
[18:25] Becker
    Afread had mentioned being caught
    in a major accident as a child.
[18:30] Becker
    This may have been what he was referring to.
[18:32] Umin
    I had no idea...
[18:35] Becker
    When is the party to celebrate Professor
    Goldran's election to the director's office?
[18:40] Zenos
    Tomorrow.
[18:42] Becker
    Afread may take some action to get revenge.
[18:46] Becker
    I should attend that party.
[18:49] Becker
    Now, putting that aside...
[18:52] Becker
    I appreciate you bringing me
    this valuable information.
[18:55] Becker
    You've done your job, Zenos.
[18:57] Becker
    Thank you for that.
[18:59] Zenos
    You sure?
[19:00] Becker
    That was our arrangement, after all.
[19:02] Becker
    You'll need to stay another
    day for the paperwork
[19:05] Becker
    allowing your special research
    student period to end,
[19:09] Becker
    so I'll provide your other payment—
    regarding your teacher—tomorrow.
[19:14] Zenos
    All right. I understand.
[19:16] Umin
    I'll come by your room this evening, then.
[19:19] Zenos
    Was there something else we needed to do?
[19:22] Umin
    Why, your going-away party, of course!
[19:31] Cresson
    So Bro was hired by Professor Becker
    to investigate a disappearance,
[19:35] Cresson
    and normally runs a clinic in
    an abandoned part of the city,
[19:37] Cresson
    which is how he knows demihumans? For real?
[19:41] Zenos
    Yep. All true.
[19:43] Cresson
    What am I supposed to do when you're gone?!
[19:47] Umin
    This is just pitiful.
[19:49] Cresson
    That's harsh, classmate!
[19:50] Cresson
    Don't you agree, little sis?
[19:53] Lily
    I don't want a pitiful big brother.
[19:55] Cresson
    Even my little sister is harsh!
[19:57] Cresson
    Come on, Bro!
[19:59] Zenos
    You're adaptable enough to
    survive wherever you end up.
[20:03] Cresson
    That doesn't feel like a full compliment...
    What do you think, little sis?
[20:07] Zenos
    Lily isn't actually my little sister.
[20:10] Cresson
    Seriously?!
[20:11] Lily
    I'm sorry for lying, Cresson.
[20:13] Lily
    I'm actually Zenos's wife!
[20:16] Cresson
    F-For real?!
[20:18] Zenos
    No, not for real.
[20:20] Cresson
    I must be losing it...
[20:21] Cresson
    I'm even seeing something that looks
    like a wraith behind that pillar.
[20:27] Zenos
    Why did you come out, Carmilla?
[20:29] Carmilla
    How could I not?
[20:31] Carmilla
    That boy is drowning in my liquor!
[20:34] Zenos
    It's just some stuff you
    snuck out of Goldran's house.
[20:36] Carmilla
    That wine desires to be drunk by me.
[20:39] Umin
    Zenos?
[20:42] Zenos
    Don't worry, it's fine.
[20:43] Zenos
    She's got a good heart.
[20:45] Umin
    A good-hearted... wraith? What?
[20:49] Carmilla
    You're the only one I'd allow to
    speak about me in such a way.
[20:53] Carmilla
    Do not drink all of it.
[20:55] Carmilla
    If you do, I'll curse you and your descendants.
[21:08] Carmilla
    What has you spacing out?
[21:11] Zenos
    I'm from the slums, and was treated
    terribly by the party I worked with,
[21:14] Zenos
    but the two of them don't
    treat me any different.
[21:17] Zenos
    Finding out people like that
    exist is a bit of a relief.
[21:20] Carmilla
    Sad to part with them?
[21:23] Zenos
    Could be. But I'm used to saying goodbye.
[21:27] Carmilla
    Meeting people, parting with them,
    and meeting again, should it be fated.
[21:32] Carmilla
    That cycle, repeated, is human life itself.
[21:35] Carmilla
    It's how we learn the width
    and depth of the world.
[21:39] Zenos
    You actually make sense occasionally.
[21:42] Carmilla
    You learn a thing or two
    after living for 300 years.
[21:44] Zenos
    Except you're dead.
[21:49] Zenos
    Well, I appreciate everything.
[21:52] Umin
    You're the one who's helped us.
[21:55] Cresson
    Bro!
[21:57] Umin
    Oh, right!
[21:58] Umin
    Dr. Becker asked me to give you a letter
    containing the details about your teacher.
[22:07] Umin
    This... was inside his desk...
[22:12] Zenos
    What the...
SIGN    Choosing Who Lives
[23:57] Zenos
    "Choosing Who Lives."
