[00:02] Krishna
    I never would've expected to run into
    another target in a place like this.
[00:06] Lily
    Zenos! Zenos?!
[00:10] Krishna
    While I'm working on a
    different, bigger case,
[00:13] Krishna
    I've also been investigating a string
    of children who've been kidnapped.
[00:17] Lily
    Zenos didn't...
[00:19] Krishna
    You're an elf child.
[00:21] Krishna
    But he is a human.
[00:23] Krishna
    That means you're not family.
[00:25] Krishna
    So I've finally found him.
[00:27] Krishna
    Clever trick, setting up shop in a desolate
    place like this where no one is around.
[00:31] Lily
    Y-You've got it all wrong!
[00:32] Lily
    Zenos took me in!
[00:34] Krishna
    Humanoid trafficking is illegal unless
    conducted through proper channels.
[00:37] Lily
    That's not what I meant!
[00:39] Lily
    Zenos saved me!
[00:42] Krishna
    What? Did I jump to conclusions?
[00:44] Lily
    You really did!
[00:46] Krishna
    Forgive me, then. That was a
    round for apprehending suspects.
[00:50] Krishna
    It shouldn't be lethal, but he
    won't be waking up for a while.
[00:53] Krishna
    I'm a perfectionist with my work,
[00:55] Krishna
    but my short temper is my only real fault.
[00:58] Zenos
    I thought you said your only real fault
    was having a bad sense of direction?
[01:03] Krishna
    What in the world?
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[02:38] Krishna
    What in the world?
[02:41] Krishna
    My sincere apologies.
[02:42] Krishna
    I seem to have jumped to conclusions.
[02:45] Krishna
    I'm relieved you're all right, but... how?
[02:47] Zenos
    I just used some defensive magic.
[02:49] Krishna
    You must be kidding.
[02:50] Krishna
    Defensive magic isn't capable
    of stopping my magic guns.
[02:54] Zenos
    I mean, as far as I know,
    it was ordinary defensive magic.
[02:57] Krishna
    Are you being serious?
[03:04] Krishna
    You're definitely unhurt.
[03:06] Krishna
    How is this possible?
[03:08] Krishna
    So many things today have
    been utterly inexplicable...
[03:10] Zenos
    Getting shot by someone I've never met
    before falls in that category for me.
[03:16] Krishna
    Are you some sort of
    renowned grand sorcerer?
[03:18] Krishna
    Devoting your heart and soul to
    defensive magic from an early age,
[03:22] Krishna
    mastering your field of study,
    earning you the name...
[03:24] Krishna
    "He Who Worked Hard at Defensive Magic."
[03:26] Zenos
    First, wrong. Second, your
    naming sense is terrible.
[03:29] Krishna
    My lack of naming talent is my only fault.
[03:33] Zenos
    That's another one, isn't it?
[03:34] Krishna
    That's the only explanation
    that makes sense, though.
[03:37] Krishna
    Though others may not be able to tell,
[03:39] Krishna
    there's no deceiving the eyes of Vice Commander
    Krishna of the Royal Order of Knights.
[03:44] Lily/Zenos
    Vice Commander... of the
    Royal Order of Knights?
[03:47] Krishna
    Indeed. I believe you are Mr. Zenos, yes?
[03:50] Krishna
    I'd appreciate it if you would
    cooperate with my investigation.
[03:55] Zenos
    I put up a signal for everyone to stay
    away, given the nature of the situation,
[03:59] Zenos
    so I don't think they'll
    waltz in here, but...
[04:02] Krishna
    I've actually come to the
    slums on a secret mission.
[04:06] Zenos
    Is that the kind of thing
    you should be sharing?
[04:09] Krishna
    My secret mission is to locate a certain
    individual and take them into custody.
[04:13] Zenos
    You're just laying it all out there, huh?
[04:15] Krishna
    I doubt I can gain your cooperation
    without sharing some degree of specifics.
[04:19] Zenos
    I never said anything about cooperating...
[04:22] Krishna
    It's the duty of every citizen to
    cooperate with the Order of Knights!
[04:25] Zenos
    I guess she doesn't listen, either.
[04:28] Zenos
    So, who are you looking for?
[04:31] Krishna
    The mediator.
[04:33] Krishna
    Whoever ended the feud between
    the factions in the slums.
[04:37] Krishna
    What's wrong?
[04:38] Zenos
    Oh, uh, it's nothing.
[04:41] Zenos
    You little...
[04:43] Krishna
    As a defender of order,
[04:44] Krishna
    I can't ignore the appearance of
    someone who wields that kind of power.
[04:49] Krishna
    But I was unable to get anything out of the
    demihumans, even after shaking them down.
[04:53] Krishna
    Whoever this person is, they're
    well-versed in how to control people...
[04:56] Krishna
    Such deeds no doubt mark him
    as a servant of the devil!
[04:59] Zenos
    A servant of the devil?
[05:01] Zenos
    The guy might just want
    to avoid the spotlight.
[05:05] Zenos
    Y'know, maybe he doesn't want attention?
[05:07] Zenos
    Maybe leaving him be and not looking
    too hard for him would be best.
[05:10] Krishna
    Do you know the mediator?!
[05:12] Zenos
    Nah, that's just my instinct talking!
[05:18] Krishna
    Someone with the power to unify
    the rival factions in the slums
[05:21] Krishna
    could pose a threat to the
    nation itself in time.
[05:26] Lily
    I don't think they're thinking
    of anything that big.
[05:31] Lily
    They might be kind of a stickler
    about money, but deep down,
[05:34] Lily
    I bet they just don't like
    seeing people get hurt.
[05:39] Zenos
    Lily...
[05:41] Krishna
    Do you know who the mediator is, elf girl?
[05:43] Lily
    N-N-Nope! I don't know a thing!
[05:49] Krishna
    No matter.
[05:51] Krishna
    I anticipated having trouble
    even finding his trail.
[05:54] Zenos
    Maybe it's time for you to go.
    I'll show you the way back to town.
[05:58] Krishna
    You seem to want me gone.
[06:00] Zenos
    W-Well, it's just... you've got
    an important mission, right?
[06:04] Krishna
    You have a point.
[06:06] Krishna
    I should be on my way.
[06:13] Krishna
    Why is there a bed down here?
[06:16] Zenos
    It's, uh, an extra bed. I brought
    it out here to throw it away.
[06:20] Krishna
    In that case... I'd appreciate
    you letting me use it.
[06:26] Krishna
    I've actually had trouble
    finding a base of operations.
[06:28] Krishna
    Here, I'll be close to the slums
    without attracting attention.
[06:31] Krishna
    It's ideal for my investigation.
[06:33] Krishna
    Of course, I will pay for my stay.
[06:35] Krishna
    I need to find the root of this new evil,
    the mediator, and capture him myself.
[06:40] Zenos
    From servant of the devil
    to the root of evil...
[06:43] Carmilla
    "And so, as had become
    so common at this point,
[06:46] Carmilla
    the clinic welcomed a new, dangerous woman."
[06:52] Lily
    It's nothing fancy, but...
[06:53] Krishna
    I appreciate it.
[06:56] Krishna
    Hot!
[06:58] Krishna
    Pardon me.
[06:59] Krishna
    My sensitivity to hot foods
    and drinks is my one fault.
[07:03] Zenos
    You have a lot of faults, huh?
[07:04] Krishna
    What are you saying?
    I only have one fault.
[07:08] Zenos
    I see...
[07:11] Zenos
    What's wrong, Lily?
[07:13] Lily
    Zenos, lap.
[07:20] Lily
    Zenos, my usual.
[07:22] Zenos
    Your usual?
[07:23] Lily
    My! Usual!
[07:35] Carmilla
    It's jealousy.
[07:36] Zenos
    Don't scare me like that!
[07:37] Krishna
    Something wrong?
[07:39] Zenos
    Uh, n-no, nothing.
[07:41] Krishna
    I see.
[07:42] Carmilla
    I've gone invisible and
    am whispering in your ear.
[07:46] Zenos
    Well, I wish you wouldn't.
    It's bad for my heart.
[07:48] Zenos
    So, why would Lily be jealous?
[07:51] Carmilla
    She's trying to demonstrate her advantage
    to this random new challenger!
[07:54] Carmilla
    "I'm much closer to Zenos than you are!"
[07:59] Carmilla
    She has no intention of accepting
    this oddly haughty woman
[08:02] Carmilla
    who blasted you at random with a magic gun!
[08:04] Carmilla
    To say nothing of the contrast between
    the dour attitude and the sensitive tongue!
[08:09] Carmilla
    But what can she do? What's her next move?
[08:12] Carmilla
    The bell is rung for this
    battle between women!
[08:14] Zenos
    Pipe down.
[08:16] Lily
    Zenos, your tea's still hot,
[08:19] Lily
    so I'll blow on it for you.
[08:21] Lily
    Zenos, your hair's sticking up.
[08:23] Lily
    I'll fix it for you.
[08:26] Lily
    Zenos, here's an apple.
[08:27] Lily
    I'll feed it to you!
[08:34] Lily
    I'll just have to use the secret
    weapon Carmilla taught me!
[08:40] Lily
    Zenos... T-Tonight,
[08:43] Lily
    I'm not going to let you sleep...
[08:49] Krishna
    She's sound asleep.
[08:51] Zenos
    Yeah.
[08:54] Lily
    I win...
[08:59] Zenos
    What is it?
[09:00] Krishna
    You said that elf girl had
    been caught by slave traders.
[09:04] Krishna
    Do you know who they are?
[09:06] Zenos
    No, I don't.
[09:08] Krishna
    I see.
[09:09] Krishna
    It seems like there's a hotbed for
    child trafficking around here.
[09:13] Zenos
    And that's why you shot me?
[09:16] Krishna
    I'm sorry about that.
[09:18] Krishna
    Having a short temper is my one fault.
[09:21] Zenos
    It really does sound like you have a
    lot of faults. Not that it matters.
[09:25] Krishna
    I am meant to be a perfect member of the
    royal guard, as well as a hero to the people.
[09:29] Krishna
    I am allowed to have, at most, one fault.
[09:33] Krishna
    I have a question.
[09:35] Krishna
    You're a master mage who has
    perfected defense magic, yes?
[09:38] Zenos
    Not at all.
[09:40] Krishna
    If someone was able to master healing
    magic the way you've mastered defense,
[09:44] Krishna
    would they be able to
    fully regenerate an arm?
[09:48] Zenos
    Uh, do other healers—
[09:48] Krishna
    No, it can't be possible.
[09:50] Krishna
    Not for anyone other than a Saint or a
    handful of the highest-level top-secret healers.
[09:55] Zenos
    What's it matter?
[09:56] Krishna
    In a fight with Zophia the Tornado,
[09:59] Krishna
    I did a fair amount of damage to her arm.
[10:02] Krishna
    Yet when I saw her and
    her minion in the slums,
[10:04] Krishna
    their arms were completely back to normal.
[10:06] Krishna
    If there's someone who can
    heal those kinds of wounds,
[10:10] Krishna
    their words might have real gravity.
[10:14] Krishna
    Well, I can begin my investigation
    in earnest tomorrow.
[10:18] Krishna
    I will arrest this agitator of the slums,
    and the original evil, the mediator.
[10:24] Zenos
    The original evil?
    These allegations keep leveling up...
[10:28] Zenos
    What makes you feel so
    threatened by the slums, anyway?
[10:31] Krishna
    It's not much of a story.
[10:34] Krishna
    My mother was killed by
    someone who lived there.
[10:39] Krishna
    She was a profoundly kind woman.
[10:42] Krishna
    She visited the slums
    daily to feed the hungry.
[10:48] Krishna
    And one day, she returned as a corpse.
[10:52] Krishna
    I was told it was a crime done
    to steal her wedding ring.
[10:56] Krishna
    She had saved so many from hunger,
[11:00] Krishna
    but no one was there to save her.
[11:03] Krishna
    That is why I decided that I would become
[11:05] Krishna
    an invincible hero
    capable of delivering justice
[11:09] Krishna
    to the criminals of the slums,
[11:11] Krishna
    so what happened to her would
    never happen to anyone else.
[11:13] Krishna
    I achieved distinction early on
[11:15] Krishna
    and became the youngest vice commander
    in the history of the Royal Knights.
[11:19] Krishna
    My unbendable will regarding my duties
    eventually earned me the nickname "Iron Rose."
[11:26] Krishna
    Some people seem to use it to suggest
    I'm unreasonable and don't listen,
[11:30] Krishna
    but I know the other thing
    attributed to that name.
[11:35] Krishna
    My face is like an iron
    mask, wouldn't you say?
[11:40] Krishna
    Ever since that day,
    I've had trouble smiling.
[11:50] Krishna
    I'll be back tonight, then.
[11:54] Carmilla
    Don't pay it any mind, Zenos.
[11:56] Carmilla
    Her story isn't that unusual.
[11:58] Carmilla
    When you live 300 years,
[12:00] Carmilla
    you witness all the ways a
    person's life can turn out.
[12:04] Zenos
    You came down just to say that?
[12:07] Zenos
    I appreciate it, Carmilla.
[12:10] Carmilla
    I'm just not fond of all
    this sentimental morbidity!
[12:13] Carmilla
    What about the flag?
[12:15] Zenos
    Well, I guess I'll take it down for now.
[12:19] Zenos
    Try to be more careful, okay?
[12:21] Zophia
    Sorry, Doc.
[12:23] Zophia
    By the way, one of my boys mentioned
    that the knight I told you about—
[12:26] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, I'm sorry, but I got lost and...
[12:31] Zophia
    Iron Rose! What are you doing here?!
[12:31] Zophia
    Zophia the Tornado, what are you doing here?!
[12:35] Zenos
    I-It's not what you think!
[12:37] Carmilla
    You sound like a husband caught cheating.
[12:39] Lily
    This lady says... sh-she got lost, too!
[12:43] Krishna
    She got lost and ended up here?
[12:45] Krishna
    She must be quite directionless.
[12:46] Zenos
    Yeah, you are.
[12:48] Zophia
    You heard the girl. There a problem?
[12:49] Zophia
    I just got lost and was
    asking for directions.
[12:53] Krishna
    What happened to your
    arm, Zophia the Tornado?
[12:57] Krishna
    I believe that it was the
    mediator who healed it.
[13:01] Krishna
    The person gathering up
    the criminal elements
[13:03] Krishna
    of the slums to threaten
    its innocent residents.
[13:07] Zophia
    Threaten the residents of the slums?
[13:10] Zophia
    I'm a two-bit rogue, so I probably
    don't have a leg to stand on here,
[13:13] Zophia
    but you can find crooks
    on all rungs of society.
[13:16] Krishna
    What are you getting at?
[13:17] Zophia
    I hear the Royal Knights are investigating
    the child trafficking ring,
[13:22] Zophia
    but did you know that their
    boss was an aristocrat?
[13:25] Krishna
    The child trafficking ring
    is centered in the slums.
[13:28] Zophia
    That's just where the rank and file
    operate to throw off the scent.
[13:31] Krishna
    I find that hard to believe.
[13:33] Zophia
    I bet.
[13:34] Zophia
    It's not like you'd ever
    listen to us, anyway.
[13:37] Krishna
    Who do you claim it is, then?
[13:39] Zophia
    Calendor.
[13:41] Krishna
    Even more ridiculous.
[13:43] Krishna
    He's a philanthropist who's
    passionate about educating orphans.
[13:46] Zophia
    The way you only look at the surface
    is what makes you easy to trick.
[13:50] Zophia
    Not the mediator, though.
[13:52] Zophia
    They never judged any of
    us because of our status
[13:55] Zophia
    or the way we look.
[13:56] Zophia
    All they ever did was save
    the people who needed it.
[14:00] Zophia
    Hell, as much as I hate to admit it,
[14:03] Zophia
    he'd probably save your life,
    too, if you were hurt.
[14:05] Zophia
    Just not for free.
[14:07] Zophia
    Nothing like you, who's convinced
    that all evil comes from the slums.
[14:11] Zophia
    Your idea of justice is a joke.
[14:14] Krishna
    How dare you?
[14:18] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, stand aside.
[14:20] Zenos
    Sorry, but that's not happening.
[14:22] Zenos
    Zophia is one of my patients.
[14:24] Krishna
    Patients?
[14:26] Krishna
    I'm sorry for not telling
    you sooner, Krishna.
[14:29] Krishna
    I'm the mediator.
[14:30] Krishna
    You're the mediator?
[14:33] Zenos
    Yeah.
[14:34] Krishna
    Inconceivable. The mediator
    is a master of healing magic.
[14:38] Krishna
    But your specialty is defensive magic.
[14:41] Krishna
    It'd be impossible to wield two
    schools of magic at such a high level.
[14:44] Zenos
    I'm not exactly a master, and both
    defense and healing are about
[14:47] Zenos
    amplifying the body's natural functions,
    so they're basically the same.
[14:51] Krishna
    I've never heard that kind of
    logic in any of my magic lessons.
[14:55] Krishna
    But one thing that's clear is that you've
    sided with the demihumans and the mediator.
[15:02] Krishna
    I'll find a different place to work from.
[15:04] Zenos
    Krishna...
[15:06] Krishna
    The people need a perfect hero.
[15:09] Krishna
    And I am no joke.
[15:16] Lily
    She's headed in the opposite
    direction from the slums...
[15:20] Zenos
    She could get lost on a one-way street.
[15:24] Zenos
    Wait, is she...
[15:29] Calendor
    A sudden visit from the Vice Commander of the
    Royal Order of the Knights is quite a surprise.
[15:35] Krishna
    Lord Calendor, are you aware that there have
    been thieves operating in this area as of late?
[15:40] Calendor
    I did hear something about
    a band of lizardman thieves.
[15:44] Krishna
    Yes. It is our intention to
    increase local security.
[15:48] Krishna
    We'd appreciate it if you and your
    fellow nobles would be more careful.
[15:55] Krishna
    As part of that, I'd like to do a
    security assessment of your manor.
[15:59] Calendor
    A splendid idea!
[16:02] Calendor
    That said, if you had told me beforehand,
    I could've been better prepared.
[16:06] Krishna
    Our intent is to get the best
    grasp of the usual level of security.
[16:09] Krishna
    I beg your pardon, but a surprise
    inspection would be more effective.
[16:14] Calendor
    Very well, then!
[16:17] Krishna
    Zophia the Tornado claimed Lord
    Calendor was the ringleader,
[16:21] Krishna
    but I'm wasting my time here.
[16:24] Calendor
    What do you say, Lady Krishna?
[16:26] Krishna
    Your security is quite thorough.
[16:28] Krishna
    If I had to point anything
    out, it'd be the distri—
[16:32] Calendor
    Is something wrong?
[16:34] Krishna
    No, not a thing.
[16:36] Krishna
    Would it be all right if I used your
    washroom before I take my leave?
[16:39] Calendor
    By all means.
[16:41] Krishna
    Lord Calendor sits somewhere in the
    upper-mid echelon of the aristocracy.
[16:45] Krishna
    GIven that, it's odd how much security he has.
[16:47] Krishna
    And then there's the distribution of it.
[16:49] Krishna
    The rear entrance seems to have
    a lot more guards than the front.
[16:54] Krishna
    It couldn't be...
[17:08] Krishna
    Oh, no.
[17:14] Girl
    Who's there? S-Someone scary?
[17:16] Krishna
    It's all right. I'm not here to hurt you.
[17:20] Girl
    Who are you?
[17:22] Krishna
    Me? I'm a hero, here to save you.
[17:31] Calendor
    The magic guns you royal knights
    use are quite powerful!
[17:36] Calendor
    This will be perfect for
    threatening the children, too.
[17:42] Calendor
    I can't say I appreciate a mere knight like
    you sniffing about the business of a noble.
[17:47] Calendor
    Your job is to stay quiet
    and keep the rabble in line!
[17:53] Calendor
    The flawless Iron Rose,
    reduced to a wounded heap!
[17:57] Krishna
    I'm sorry, children.
[18:01] Krishna
    Mother...
[18:02] Krishna
    I... wasn't able to be a real hero.
[18:07] Zophia
    Aw, damn, she's still alive?
[18:09] Zophia
    We should've taken a bit longer to get here.
[18:12] Krishna
    Zophia the Tornado?
[18:15] Krishna
    W-Why?
[18:16] Zenos
    This was a crazy move.
[18:18] Zenos
    You don't disappoint, and that's
    not meant as a compliment.
[18:22] Zenos
    I went out of my way for this house call.
[18:24] Zenos
    It's going to cost a lot, so brace yourself.
[18:27] Calendor
    Who are you people?!
[18:29] Zenos
    Don't worry about me.
[18:30] Zenos
    I'm just an unremarkable healer.
[18:31] Zophia
    And I just showed him the way.
[18:34] Calendor
    E-Enough comedy!
[18:35] Calendor
    You're a lizardman, right?
[18:38] Calendor
    No one will complain if I kill
    some thief from the slums.
[18:42] Calendor
    Now, stand down!
[18:51] Calendor
    Fool!
[18:52] Zenos
    That actually kinda hurt.
[18:54] Calendor
    What?!
[18:56] Calendor
    You... Wh-Why?! Why isn't it working?!
[19:00] Calendor
    Why?! Why?! Why?!
[19:11] Calendor
    What is this? What in the world are you?!
[19:17] Calendor
    A low-born dog like you dares to
    point that gun at an aristocrat?!
[19:21] Zenos
    I hear you shouldn't shoot at people
    unless you're prepared to be shot.
[19:24] Calendor
    W-Wait! I-I'll do whatever you
    want! Just lower the gun!
[19:29] Zenos
    Well, to be honest, we've just met,
[19:32] Zenos
    and it's not like I have some
    old grudge against you.
[19:35] Zenos
    The only thing I have against you is that
    you were blasting at me a second ago.
[19:38] Calendor
    F-Forgive me!
[19:41] Calendor
    And that's an apology from someone of
    my standing! Now, please, show mercy.
[19:45] Zenos
    Nope.
[19:46] Calendor
    Wh-Why?!
[19:48] Calendor
    I-I know! I just need to apologize
    to the woman, too, right?
[19:53] Calendor
    I was wrong.
[19:55] Calendor
    I got carried away when I fired
    on you. Please, forgive me.
[20:01] Zenos
    That was a pretty poor
    excuse for an apology,
[20:03] Zenos
    but I see someone else that you
    really ought to be apologizing to.
[20:07] Calendor
    A-And who would that be?!
[20:10] Zenos
    Since you can't seem to figure
    it out, you get punished.
[20:13] Zenos
    What did you think you were
    doing with my future patients?!
[20:21] Krishna
    Did you... kill him?
[20:24] Zenos
    The limiter was on, so he shouldn't be dead.
[20:26] Zenos
    It's not my duty to judge him anyway, right?
[20:30] Krishna
    It's... too late for me...
[20:34] Krishna
    Report what's happened...
    to the Royal Knights...
[20:36] Zenos
    Nah, that sounds like a lot of work.
[20:39] Zenos
    I'll let you take care of it.
[20:41] Zenos
    Your left arm, along with a chunk of
    your torso, and the organs to match.
[20:46] Zenos
    Such a defeated look after
    a little hit like this?
[20:49] Zenos
    So much for the Iron Rose.
[20:52] Zenos
    Don't be shocked when
    you get my invoice, okay?
[20:54] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos... Just who are you?
[20:58] Zenos
    Quiet. I'm trying to concentrate.
[21:01] Krishna
    You're a hero...
[21:02] Zenos
    Nothing that extravagant.
[21:04] Zenos
    I'm just an underground healer
    working out of a run-down clinic.
[21:10] Krishna
    Unbelievable.
[21:11] Krishna
    This kind of incredible healing...
[21:14] Krishna
    You really must be the mediator, Mr. Zenos.
[21:16] Zenos
    I literally told you that.
[21:18] Krishna
    I was no hero at all.
[21:21] Krishna
    I know now that a perfect
    hero is someone like you.
[21:25] Zenos
    There's no such thing as
    a perfect hero, anyway.
[21:28] Zenos
    People who fight for the sake of something
    are gonna get hurt, one way or another.
[21:32] Zenos
    That's why they need healers like me.
[21:34] Zenos
    Or so I was taught, anyway.
[21:37] Zenos
    I think, to them, you're the hero here.
[21:40] Krishna
    Them?
[21:42] Girl
    Wh-What happened?
    Is the hero lady still there?
[21:47] Zenos
    You were the first one to take action.
[21:49] Zenos
    That makes you the hero in this case.
[21:51] Krishna
    I'm... I...
[21:56] Krishna
    K-Kids! It's all right! I'm still okay!
    I'll get you out of there soon!
[22:02] Kids
    Thank you, hero!
[22:05] Krishna
    All this time, I thought my
    mother was a pitiable victim.
[22:08] Krishna
    But... her eyes were always shining.
[22:12] Krishna
    She would feed the children of the slums
    with food that she made herself.
[22:16] Zenos
    Yeah. Just like you're a hero to these kids,
[22:20] Zenos
    I bet she was someone's hero, too.
[22:23] Krishna
    My mother was... awkward, panicky,
    short-tempered, forgetful,
[22:30] Krishna
    and full of faults, really...
[22:33] Krishna
    But still... in spite of it all,
    I know for a fact that she was my hero.
[22:48] Zophia
    Doc, the royal knights are gonna
    catch on to the fuss any time now.
[22:52] Zenos
    Yeah. It's time for us to
    slink back into the shadows.
[22:55] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos!
[23:00] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, why did you save me?
[23:04] Zenos
    Unpaid bills.
[23:07] Zenos
    You said you were gonna pay for
    using the clinic's bed, remember?
[23:10] Zenos
    If you got yourself killed,
    I wouldn't be able to collect.
[23:13] Zenos
    I'm adding the fee for healing you to the
    cost. Make sure you pay it all back at once.
[23:17] Krishna
    The money I owed you...
[23:28] Zenos
    Looks like you can smile after all.
[23:31] Krishna
    I see. I'm smiling now, huh?
[23:36] Zenos
    Still looks pretty awkward, though.
[23:38] Zophia
    Hell, I think it makes
    you look even creepier.
[23:42] Krishna
    Wh-What do you want?
[23:43] Krishna
    It's been a long time since I've smiled.
[23:46] Krishna
    Not being good at it is my only...
[23:49] Krishna
    No...
[23:51] Krishna
    Just one of my many faults!
