**[00:08] ---**
"The Vampire of the Blue Moon."
**[00:12] ---**
There was once a vampire known as Vanitas,
who was despised by others of their kind.
**[00:20] ---**
Other vampires were born
on the night of the crimson moon,
**[00:25] ---**
but Vanitas alone was born under
the blue moon, a sign of ill omen.
**[00:33] ---**
Feared by the other vampires,
Vanitas was driven from the village.
**[00:38] ---**
Wandering alone in the woods,
**[00:40] ---**
Vanitas faced the terrors of darkness
and the cold clutches of snow.
**[00:45] ---**
So it was that Vanitas made a vow
**[00:49] ---**
to take vengeance upon vampires
born under the crimson moon.
**[00:54] ---**
O foolish vampires who have persecuted me!
**[00:58] ---**
Opening this grimoire shall visit
upon you a curse worse than death!
**[01:04] ---**
Vanitas's special creation
**[01:07] ---**
was a book imbued with the power
to corrupt a vampire's true name.
**[01:14] ---**
Those who take my grimoire in hand
**[01:16] ---**
shall, like me, have the blue light
instilled in their eyes,
**[01:20] ---**
and before long, become a bringer
of death upon all vampire kind.
**[01:42] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[01:51] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[01:56] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[02:00] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:05] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:10] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:18] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[02:28] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[02:35] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[02:40] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[02:45] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[02:49] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[02:58] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[03:08] ---**
They say a vampire has turned up.
**[03:10] ---**
Truly? How dreadful.
**[03:13] ---**
Vampires were destroyed ages ago in a
battle with humankind, were they not?
**[03:18] ---**
Does that mean some survived?
**[03:21] ---**
Have they risen once again
to visit vengeance upon us?
**[03:24] ---**
Vampires are but a folktale.
**[03:27] ---**
My great-grandfather claims
to have seen one.
**[03:30] ---**
That's just another ghost story.
**[03:32] ---**
No need to worry. The Church's
Chasseurs have sprung into action.
**[03:37] ---**
I'm so cold.
**[04:02] ---**
Are you sure you're well?
Shall I take you to the infirmary?
**[04:07] ---**
No, I was simply feeling anemic.
There is no cause for concern.
**[04:12] ---**
But you look quite pale.
**[04:15] ---**
I'm going to see a doctor after this.
**[04:20] ---**
That is the only one
I will allow to examine me.
**[04:24] ---**
But thank you for your concern.
**[04:34] ---**
Bad Murr!
**[04:36] ---**
He's so warm.
**[04:39] ---**
Um, my name is Amelia.
**[04:42] ---**
Might I have an introduction?
**[04:46] ---**
Sure! He is Murr.
**[04:50] ---**
Please call him by that name.
**[04:52] ---**
No, not *his* name...
**[04:55] ---**
Attention all passengers.
**[04:58] ---**
La Baleine will be
arriving in Paris shortly.
**[05:03] ---**
Please enjoy the rest of
your voyage through the sky.
**[05:14] ---**
Paris!
**[05:16] ---**
Where's Paris, Mademoiselle Amelia?
**[05:19] ---**
I don't think we can see it yet.
**[05:22] ---**
Oh, I see. How unfortunate.
**[05:26] ---**
To think that such massive weight
could be made to fly...
**[05:31] ---**
The power of astermite
is truly awe inspiring.
**[05:36] ---**
Is this your first time on an airship?
**[05:39] ---**
Yes.
**[05:40] ---**
Will you see the sights of Paris?
**[05:43] ---**
No, there is something I seek.
**[05:45] ---**
You seek something?
**[05:48] ---**
*The Book of Vanitas*.
**[05:53] ---**
It's the name of the accursed grimoire
**[05:56] ---**
from the folktale,
"The Vampire of the Blue Moon."
**[06:00] ---**
You've not heard of it?
**[06:05] ---**
I lost track of time.
**[06:08] ---**
We must prepare to disembark.
**[06:14] ---**
I'm so very cold.
**[06:22] ---**
You're really going through with this?
**[06:25] ---**
Naturally.
**[06:29] ---**
For I know my target is
within this very airship.
**[06:35] ---**
The ship's passenger facilities
are no longer available.
**[06:39] ---**
Passengers who have not yet
prepared to disembark...
**[06:42] ---**
About what you said...
**[06:44] ---**
Do you truly believe that there is
such a thing as *The Book of Vanitas*?
**[06:51] ---**
I don't know.
**[06:54] ---**
But I did receive a letter stating that
the book had been sighted in Paris.
**[07:04] ---**
It was from my former teacher.
**[07:07] ---**
Mon Chaton, my dearest kitten,
**[07:12] ---**
I wish for you to find
*The Book of Vanitas*
**[07:16] ---**
and assess its true nature.
**[07:19] ---**
That is why I'm going to Paris.
**[07:27] ---**
Mademoiselle! Are you not well?!
**[07:29] ---**
Do not touch me!
**[07:42] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia, your eyes are...
**[07:46] ---**
You're a... vampire.
**[07:55] ---**
Now I have you!
**[08:15] ---**
Well, I *thought* I had you.
**[08:18] ---**
Who the devil are you?!
**[08:20] ---**
I could ask you the same.
**[08:23] ---**
My business is with her alone.
**[08:25] ---**
Here's some friendly advice.
Leave her and go.
**[08:29] ---**
If you don't...
**[08:30] ---**
...you're in for a world of pain.
**[08:35] ---**
I cannot do that.
**[08:45] ---**
You move well despite
the woman in your arms!
**[08:48] ---**
Damn it. What's he doing now?
**[08:58] ---**
A wire?
**[09:28] ---**
Hey! Still alive, you quack?
**[09:33] ---**
I'm not a quack!
**[09:42] ---**
I underestimated that crimson-eyed...
**[09:48] ---**
So he, too, is a vampire?
**[09:51] ---**
Let's move.
**[09:53] ---**
I'm cold. So cold. Cold, cold...
**[09:57] ---**
It's already too late.
**[10:18] ---**
What a fine place. I like it.
**[10:26] ---**
Will you give this place,
your true name, to me?
**[10:58] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia!
**[11:00] ---**
Get her to the infirmary.
**[11:01] ---**
I'll apprehend them.
**[11:03] ---**
No!
**[11:07] ---**
Mademoiselle?
**[11:25] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia...
**[11:33] ---**
No... My strength is draining away.
**[11:37] ---**
Let... go... of... me!
**[11:45] ---**
I no longer feel cold?
**[11:51] ---**
I feel so warm. More! Give me more blood!
**[12:08] ---**
What's happening?!
**[12:13] ---**
Stop this!
**[12:14] ---**
Mademoiselle!
**[12:16] ---**
You must know, don't you?
**[12:18] ---**
We are forbidden from attacking humans.
**[12:27] ---**
I can barely move.
**[12:30] ---**
Could it be...
**[12:31] ---**
...poison?
**[12:45] ---**
Bah, I did warn you that you
were in for a world of pain.
**[12:49] ---**
The malady manifested as expected.
**[12:53] ---**
Chills that are unbearable.
**[12:55] ---**
Black tears that well forth
from the eyes and chest.
**[12:58] ---**
And shadow briars.
**[13:02] ---**
Your malnomen is Eglantine,
the Prison of Briars.
**[13:12] ---**
Malnomen?
**[13:15] ---**
That is what we call the ruined remains of
a true name corrupted by the maladies.
**[13:20] ---**
A vampire's true name is akin to
life itself, and hers was corrupted.
**[13:25] ---**
As such, the urge to drink blood,
which is normally easy to suppress,
**[13:30] ---**
is now an irresistible force.
**[13:34] ---**
Come on, you quack!
Cut the chit-chat and end it, already!
**[13:37] ---**
Hold your horses, baldy!
**[13:39] ---**
I'm not bald!
**[13:44] ---**
Are you going to kill her?
**[13:47] ---**
Are you one of the Church's Chasseurs?
**[13:50] ---**
Or are you a bourreau,
an executioner here to slay her?
**[13:54] ---**
Me? A Chasseur? A bourreau?
**[13:58] ---**
That's a good one!
**[14:01] ---**
*Non!*
**[14:04] ---**
I am a doctor, and
my specialty is vampires.
**[14:09] ---**
I've come to cure her!
**[14:19] ---**
A cover of blue leather,
pages as black as night,
**[14:25] ---**
a clockwork grimoire
linked to a silver chain...
**[14:29] ---**
No, it can't be.
**[14:32] ---**
The "Book of Vanitas"?!
**[14:40] ---**
Now then, shall we reclaim her true name?
**[15:03] ---**
The briars are disintegrating.
**[15:26] ---**
Such warm light.
**[15:29] ---**
It's like...
**[15:32] ---**
...spring sunshine.
**[15:35] ---**
No.
**[15:39] ---**
This light is your own.
**[15:54] ---**
Florifel, she who guides spring!
**[16:00] ---**
So, that *is* your true name.
**[16:05] ---**
It truly suits you.
**[16:10] ---**
My name...
**[16:12] ---**
My...
**[16:14] ---**
...true name!
**[16:16] ---**
Thank you!
**[16:31] ---**
Freeze!
**[16:32] ---**
Hands in the air!
**[16:34] ---**
You're the intruders who entered
through the observation gallery!
**[16:37] ---**
Well, what do we do now?
**[16:44] ---**
Here's some friendly advice.
Stay out of our way.
**[16:49] ---**
If you don't, you're in for a world of--
**[16:52] ---**
Ow!
**[16:54] ---**
You fool!
**[17:21] ---**
The blue moon.
**[17:28] ---**
I can see you're not afraid of it,
**[17:31] ---**
even though its blue light is said
to rob vampires of their power.
**[17:35] ---**
It is a symbol of misfortune.
**[17:44] ---**
But, teacher...
**[17:46] ---**
...in my eyes, that moon
is beautiful to behold.
**[18:05] ---**
What in the world?!
I'm alive! I don't get it!
**[18:08] ---**
But what's with this crummy landing?
**[18:11] ---**
What just happened?!
**[18:14] ---**
What did you do to her?!
**[18:22] ---**
A reverse operation.
**[18:23] ---**
I used *The Book of Vanitas*
to remove the alteration formula,
**[18:29] ---**
i.e., the maladies
corrupting her true name.
**[18:32] ---**
It was nothing.
**[18:34] ---**
It was nothing?
**[18:37] ---**
How can you say that?
**[18:41] ---**
That was extraordinary!
**[18:44] ---**
My teacher told me all about it!
**[18:46] ---**
A true name is a vampire's life itself,
**[18:48] ---**
the constitutive formula
forming their existence!
**[18:51] ---**
It must never be taken by anyone else!
**[18:54] ---**
You reclaimed her name
for her, didn't you?!
**[18:58] ---**
That is extraordinary! Phenomenal!
**[19:00] ---**
*The Book of Vanitas* is not some
accursed tome as told in folktales!
**[19:07] ---**
I've never seen anyone look upon
this book with such stars in their eyes!
**[19:14] ---**
Did I say something funny?
**[19:19] ---**
That was hilarious. I like you.
**[19:23] ---**
What's your name?
**[19:25] ---**
Noé.
**[19:27] ---**
Noé? Child of the Ark, eh?
**[19:34] ---**
I am Vanitas!
**[19:36] ---**
The book and my name were passed down
to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[19:41] ---**
Yet I'm but a human!
**[19:44] ---**
Lend me your strength, Noé!
**[19:47] ---**
With your great fighting
ability and sturdy body,
**[19:50] ---**
I've no doubt you'd make a fine shield!
**[19:54] ---**
That's a hard pass.
**[19:58] ---**
I see, I see. So you'd be delighted!
**[20:00] ---**
Wait.
**[20:01] ---**
Of course, you would say that!
**[20:04] ---**
Excuse me.
**[20:05] ---**
Am I right?
**[20:08] ---**
There's been a surge in rampaging vampires
after maladies violated their true names.
**[20:14] ---**
If nothing is done to find the root cause,
**[20:17] ---**
vampires will go extinct in
the not too distant future.
**[20:24] ---**
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
**[20:27] ---**
I will do as I please.
**[20:30] ---**
I will use the methods I choose.
**[20:32] ---**
It matters not what you people want!
**[20:37] ---**
I *will* save the vampires.
**[20:51] ---**
That was how it began.
**[20:56] ---**
This is the tale of how I met Vanitas
and together wandered life's path.
**[21:00] ---**
There was much we gained and much we lost.
**[21:03] ---**
And then,
**[21:05] ---**
at the end of our journey...
**[21:13] ---**
...I would slay him by my own hand.
**[21:20] ---**
"In the Event of Rusty Hopes"
**[22:53] ---**
I won't stop asking, Noé!
**[22:55] ---**
Lend me your strength!
**[22:57] ---**
No.
**[22:58] ---**
Why not?! What's the issue here?!
**[23:02] ---**
Just hear me out!
If you listen to all I've to say--
**[23:06] ---**
Come to think of it, I'm famished!
**[23:09] ---**
Enough already. You truly are annoying.
**[23:14] ---**
I can't take this anymore.
**[23:18] ---**
We're here, Vanitas.
**[23:22] ---**
I'll go get Murr and my luggage--
**[23:24] ---**
How dumb can you be?!
**[23:26] ---**
Why would you return to the airship?!
**[23:29] ---**
There he is! The intruder!
**[23:31] ---**
Yikes! Not good!
**[23:34] ---**
Huh?
**[23:37] ---**
What the devil?!
**[23:42] ---**

**[00:13] ---**
Ever heard of a curse-bearer, Noé?
**[00:16] ---**
Huh?
**[00:17] ---**
That's what they call vampires who
suddenly lose their minds and go berserk.
**[00:24] ---**
My grandfather told me about them.
**[00:26] ---**
A curse? Whose?
**[00:30] ---**
Who else? The Vampire of the Blue Moon's.
**[00:36] ---**
Are you okay?
**[00:50] ---**
Noé! Let's play!
**[00:53] ---**
Noé.
**[00:55] ---**
Even with a curse-bearer here before you,
**[00:59] ---**
are you still able to see the
blue moon as something beautiful?
**[01:20] ---**

**[02:46] ---**
Vanitas.
**[02:49] ---**
Yes?
**[02:50] ---**
Can you explain why we're behind bars?
**[02:54] ---**
A fine question, my dear Noé.
**[02:57] ---**
About ten hours ago, you were poisoned by
the Eglantine due to your absurd antics.
**[03:02] ---**
Then you face-planted by the roadside.
**[03:04] ---**
You've slept like a baby ever since,
nearly half a day to be exact.
**[03:08] ---**
That about sums it up.
You up to speed now?
**[03:10] ---**
No, I'm not.
**[03:11] ---**
Seriously?
**[03:12] ---**
You were the one who
stole aboard the airship.
**[03:15] ---**
I just happened to be there,
so how did I end up in prison, too?
**[03:19] ---**
Because I told them
we're partners in crime,
**[03:22] ---**
you moron!
**[03:24] ---**
My wallet's missing!
**[03:26] ---**
They confiscated all our belongings.
**[03:28] ---**
What?! *The Book of Vanitas*, too?!
**[03:30] ---**
Naturally.
**[03:31] ---**
H-How can you remain so calm?!
**[03:34] ---**
Wait, were you after my book?
**[03:36] ---**
No!
**[03:38] ---**
My master merely requested
that I assess its true nature.
**[03:44] ---**
Assess, you say?
**[03:46] ---**
That's quite a vague way
for your teacher to word it.
**[03:50] ---**
That's true. He didn't
say steal or destroy it.
**[03:55] ---**
What is it my teacher wants me to do?
**[03:59] ---**
Wait a second, Noé!
**[04:01] ---**
Yes?
**[04:02] ---**
If you seek *The Book of Vanitas*,
then you should join me.
**[04:08] ---**
So why do you keep refusing to help?
**[04:13] ---**
That's true!
**[04:15] ---**
Jeez.
**[04:24] ---**
Now I understand, Vanitas!
**[04:26] ---**
Perhaps I simply don't like you that much!
**[04:31] ---**
What?
**[04:32] ---**
What shall I do?
**[04:34] ---**
For my teacher's sake,
I suppose I should go with you.
**[04:37] ---**
But meekly accepting
whatever someone I dislike says
**[04:40] ---**
is bad for my mental well-being,
**[04:43] ---**
or rather,
it's psychologically impossible.
**[04:46] ---**
Okay, so what now?
**[04:51] ---**
Out.
**[04:52] ---**
We're unable to hold you here any longer.
**[04:56] ---**
This is an invitation from Count Orlok.
**[05:03] ---**
The vampires likely came to
an arrangement with the humans.
**[05:07] ---**
Huh?
**[05:08] ---**
Come along. I'll show you the way.
**[05:11] ---**
Thank you. This is my first time in Paris.
**[05:14] ---**
Is that so?
**[05:37] ---**
Welcome to Paris, the City of Flowers.
**[06:00] ---**
The invitation from the Count
said to come get our things,
**[06:03] ---**
both those the police took
and those we left on the airship.
**[06:11] ---**
Why are you so exhausted, Vanitas?
**[06:14] ---**
A certain someone keeps
wandering off when I'm not looking.
**[06:21] ---**
We're here. Galerie Valentine.
**[06:25] ---**
This is where we'll find the Count?
**[06:27] ---**
That's right.
After the war with humankind,
**[06:30] ---**
vampires were forbidden
from attacking humans.
**[06:33] ---**
After that, most of them
vanished beyond the barrier.
**[06:37] ---**
But there are still many who
continue to live among humankind.
**[06:44] ---**
A vampire has been appointed by the
queen to maintain the balance between
**[06:48] ---**
the vampires and humans here in Paris.
**[06:51] ---**
He is...
**[06:53] ---**
...the Lord of Altus, Parks Orlok.
**[06:58] ---**
Don't move.
**[06:59] ---**
Is this how you welcome invited guests?
**[07:03] ---**
Silence.
**[07:05] ---**
Ill-mannered fools who do not knock
are no better than trespassers.
**[07:15] ---**
So you're the human who has
assumed the name of Vanitas.
**[07:24] ---**
Murr! I'm so relieved you're safe!
**[07:28] ---**
Your possessions.
**[07:30] ---**
What about the rest?
**[07:37] ---**
I'll get right to the point.
**[07:40] ---**
Hand over *The Book of Vanitas*
and Amelia Ruth. I want them back.
**[07:44] ---**
Vanitas, Mademoiselle Amelia
is fine now, so--
**[07:48] ---**
Curse-bearers cannot be allowed to live.
**[07:52] ---**
We will take it upon
ourselves to eliminate her.
**[07:56] ---**
Please, Count, don't!
**[07:58] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia should be cured!
**[08:01] ---**
You mean by using this book?
**[08:04] ---**
That's right!
**[08:05] ---**
I saw him use *The Book of Vanitas*.
**[08:08] ---**
Its power restored her
to her former state.
**[08:10] ---**
Therefore--
**[08:12] ---**
Don't be absurd!
**[08:14] ---**
Do you truly believe this fool's nonsense?
**[08:18] ---**
There is no such thing
as a cursed grimoire.
**[08:21] ---**
This thing is but rubbish.
**[08:27] ---**
Or perhaps you stole it
but don't know how to use it.
**[08:32] ---**
I expect you can't even open it.
That's why you summoned me.
**[08:35] ---**
This is hilarious!
**[08:36] ---**
Couldn't you just say,
"Please teach me how to use the book"?
**[08:42] ---**
You are mistaken.
**[08:44] ---**
I summoned you, the man who
assumed the name of Vanitas,
**[08:47] ---**
to rake you over the coals
till you confess your plot.
**[08:51] ---**
I'm simply trying to save vampire kind
from utter annihilation.
**[08:56] ---**
Save us?!
**[08:57] ---**
Pretentious, human!
**[08:59] ---**
Are you so loathe to admit
*The Book of Vanitas* is real?!
**[09:04] ---**
That Amelia regained her sanity
should be as plain as day.
**[09:08] ---**
Bourreaus must behead
curse-bearers as soon as they are found.
**[09:16] ---**
Mina is to be executed tomorrow?
**[09:18] ---**
I don't understand!
**[09:19] ---**
Because she's a curse-bearer.
**[09:21] ---**
They're beheaded by a bourreau.
That's the rule.
**[09:24] ---**
We must go save her!
**[09:25] ---**
Can you lift the curse of the blue moon?
**[09:28] ---**
Of course, you can't!
**[09:29] ---**
She is beyond all help now, Noé!
**[09:33] ---**
Hear me now, human!
**[09:34] ---**
Vampires whose names have been defiled
can never return to their former state.
**[09:39] ---**
This is what's wrong with you senile old
coots bound by antiquated traditions.
**[09:44] ---**
You wretch!
**[09:45] ---**
There is nothing you can do.
**[09:58] ---**
How about this?
**[10:01] ---**
The vampire attacks sowing
chaos throughout Paris
**[10:05] ---**
are the work of a curse-bearer,
are they not?
**[10:08] ---**
Let us go capture that vampire
and bring the fiend back here.
**[10:14] ---**
Then Vanitas will use the
book's power here before you!
**[10:19] ---**
You must see what *The Book of Vanitas*
is with your own eyes!
**[10:26] ---**
Very well. We shall wait but one day.
**[10:31] ---**
I thank you.
**[10:35] ---**
We must hurry!
**[10:38] ---**
At last, you wish to help me, Noé!
**[10:41] ---**
I'm not helping you.
**[10:43] ---**
It's *you* who is helping *me*!
**[10:56] ---**
Excellent! I knew you'd
prove quite amusing!
**[11:02] ---**
There's nothing you can do.
**[11:05] ---**
Not this time.
I will not fail to save her!
**[11:13] ---**
Noé. Hey, Noé, wait!
**[11:16] ---**
Do you know where you're supposed to go?
**[11:19] ---**
I've no idea--
**[11:21] ---**
Looks like you could use a hand, Vanitas.
**[11:24] ---**
Dante!
**[11:25] ---**
Hey.
**[11:26] ---**
You left Amelia Ruth behind
to save your own skin!
**[11:30] ---**
My agreement with you didn't
include protecting the target!
**[11:35] ---**
I don't work beyond what I'm paid!
**[11:37] ---**
Greedy jerk!
**[11:38] ---**
Shut your piehole, quack!
**[11:40] ---**
Excuse me.
**[11:42] ---**
What the hell are you doing with him?!
**[11:45] ---**
Noé, allow me to introduce you.
**[11:47] ---**
This is Dante,
an information peddler I often use.
**[11:50] ---**
But he's really just someone
who'll do anything for money.
**[11:54] ---**
Now I remember. The one you called baldy.
**[11:57] ---**
I'm not bald!
Don't remember me by that slur!
**[12:00] ---**
I don't know why you're here,
Dante, but it's your loss!
**[12:03] ---**
I already found my penultimate partner!
**[12:06] ---**
Penultimate partner? You mean this guy?
**[12:09] ---**
Nope, not me.
**[12:10] ---**
So, sorry, Dante.
**[12:13] ---**
You'll have to look elsewhere
for your allowance.
**[12:16] ---**
Really? That's too bad.
**[12:18] ---**
Just when I located that killer
who claimed nine lives.
**[12:22] ---**
What a crying shame.
**[12:24] ---**
O Lord Dante, how I love thee!
**[12:29] ---**
What? That's highway robbery, baldy!
**[12:33] ---**
Shut it! Old man Orlok
doesn't even know about this.
**[12:36] ---**
Such information doesn't come cheap!
**[12:40] ---**
We should follow this bat?
**[12:43] ---**
Exactly. It will lead you to my comrade
who is tailing the killer you seek.
**[12:57] ---**
Seriously, what's that guy's deal?
**[13:00] ---**
Was that *the* Vanitas?
**[13:03] ---**
Such an adorable face, don't you think?
**[13:06] ---**
You followed me here, Johann?
**[13:09] ---**
I have something very special
I wanted to tell you myself.
**[13:14] ---**
Lord Ruthven's bourreau is here in Paris.
**[13:17] ---**
What?!
**[13:18] ---**
He's after *The Book of Vanitas*, no doubt.
**[13:21] ---**
And that friend of yours
**[13:24] ---**
may end up dead.
**[13:31] ---**
Thomas Berneux.
**[13:32] ---**
What?
**[13:33] ---**
He's the vampire who came from
beyond the barrier two months ago
**[13:37] ---**
and killed nine by draining their blood.
**[13:41] ---**
I'd been pursuing him up until
I received a letter from Amelia Ruth.
**[13:47] ---**
So, I already know much about him.
**[13:49] ---**
So then you're the doctor
Mademoiselle Amelia mentioned?
**[13:53] ---**
*Oui.*
**[14:06] ---**
There he is. I'm sure of it.
**[14:07] ---**
Thomas Berneux.
**[14:09] ---**
Stop him, Noé!
**[14:10] ---**
Very well!
**[14:18] ---**
Are you trying to kill me?!
**[14:56] ---**
I paralyzed him for a short while.
**[14:58] ---**
Let's tie him up while we can
and take him back to Orlok.
**[15:08] ---**
That was amazing.
**[15:10] ---**
You so swiftly incapacitated
a curse-bearer.
**[15:15] ---**
You must be Vanitas.
**[15:18] ---**
I am Luca.
**[15:19] ---**
And this is Jeanne.
**[15:22] ---**
Are you humans or vampires?
**[15:25] ---**
How rude of me.
**[15:27] ---**
We are vampires.
**[15:30] ---**
Monsieur Vanitas.
**[15:31] ---**
Though it may seem ill-mannered,
I have a favor to ask.
**[15:35] ---**
Would you not give me that grimoire,
*The Book of Vanitas*?
**[15:43] ---**
No way in hell!
**[15:44] ---**
This book isn't some plaything
for little brats like you!
**[15:57] ---**
Why do you want it, anyway?
**[15:59] ---**
*The Book of Vanitas* can
corrupt a vampire's true name.
**[16:04] ---**
That is why it is known as an analytical
engine in the form of a book.
**[16:07] ---**
It is the infernal device that creates
those known as curse-bearers!
**[16:14] ---**
Are you suggesting that I'm using
*The Book of Vanitas* to spread the curse?
**[16:20] ---**
I am.
**[16:21] ---**
I shall save the curse-bearers by
destroying that book in the proper manner.
**[16:27] ---**
And as its bearer, I imagine
you'll be punished accordingly.
**[16:31] ---**
I'm afraid I can't let that happen!
**[16:33] ---**
Hurray!
**[16:34] ---**
But do as you will with Vanitas himself.
**[16:37] ---**
Boo!
**[16:38] ---**
We must make haste.
**[16:40] ---**
Forgive me. Let us discuss later--
**[16:42] ---**
I, too, have no time!
**[16:45] ---**
Someone dear to me suffers terribly
as a curse-bearer, and I must save them!
**[16:50] ---**
Unbelievable.
**[16:52] ---**
Who put that nonsense in your head?
**[16:55] ---**
Huh?
**[16:56] ---**
Listen. I'm a doctor.
**[16:58] ---**
I'm using the power of
*The Book of Vanitas* to save vampires.
**[17:03] ---**
If you wish to save the one you hold dear,
I will exam the patient.
**[17:07] ---**
My big brother suffers dearly from
the vampire of the blue moon's curse!
**[17:13] ---**
For you to suggest that I take you
to him is beyond all foolishness!
**[17:17] ---**
Master Luca.
**[17:20] ---**
Hmm. So your brother is the curse-bearer.
**[17:30] ---**
Master Luca,
further talk serves no purpose.
**[17:52] ---**
Master Luca, command me as you will.
**[17:55] ---**
Monsieur Vanitas, will nothing
convince you to give me the book?
**[18:03] ---**
Jeanne...
**[18:05] ---**
Understood. I will do
my best to take him alive.
**[18:11] ---**
Please.
**[18:13] ---**
Take *The Book of Vanitas* from him!
**[18:16] ---**
*Oui, Votre Altesse.*
**[18:19] ---**
The Crimson Gauntlet!
**[18:25] ---**
Run, Noé! She's Lord Ruthven's bourreau!
**[18:28] ---**
Who?
**[18:30] ---**
You're like a country bumpkin squared!
**[18:34] ---**
Listen up!
**[18:35] ---**
In the war long ago,
**[18:36] ---**
over 1,000 vampires sided with humanity,
betraying their own kind.
**[18:40] ---**
But a single bourreau is
said to have slain them all.
**[18:43] ---**
It is she who wields the
Crimson Gauntlet, Carpe Diem!
**[18:47] ---**
The bearer of a saintly name
who slew her own kind!
**[18:53] ---**
The Hellfire Witch, Jeanne!
**[19:06] ---**
She has no intention of taking me alive!
**[19:11] ---**
I can't have you die on me yet!
**[19:21] ---**
We're in trouble!
**[19:42] ---**
Jeanne!
**[19:43] ---**
Master Luca?! You're in danger!
**[19:45] ---**
Please find a safe place to hide!
**[19:48] ---**
Jeanne! You must not slay him!
**[19:50] ---**
You're no longer a bourreau!
You're my knight, my chevalier!
**[20:00] ---**
Forgive me, Master Luca.
**[20:14] ---**
Whether it's Count Orlok
or the city's vampires,
**[20:17] ---**
they're all horrible listeners.
**[20:20] ---**
All vampires have the fear of the vampire
of the blue moon etched into their minds.
**[20:26] ---**
That's just how it is.
**[20:28] ---**
Huh?
**[20:29] ---**
And what that kid said
is not entirely wrong.
**[20:34] ---**
*The Book of Vanitas* can
corrupt a vampire's true name.
**[20:38] ---**
That much is true.
**[20:40] ---**
A corrupted name causes a malnomen.
**[20:42] ---**
My treatment consists of restoring
that name to its true state.
**[20:46] ---**
In short, it's a matter of application.
**[20:49] ---**
So it's no wonder that
vampires fear this book.
**[20:54] ---**
But the potential to do something
and doing it are two different things!
**[21:00] ---**
Even if *The Book of Vanitas*
was created to exterminate vampires,
**[21:05] ---**
it's an undeniable fact that you used it
to save Mademoiselle Amelia.
**[21:12] ---**
Thank you!
**[21:13] ---**
What I saw that day was
a resoundingly righteous act.
**[21:23] ---**
That is why I wish to return
at once so we may save her!
**[21:34] ---**
Keep it down before she finds us!
**[21:37] ---**
You really are...
**[21:39] ---**
...a most amusing fellow.
**[21:43] ---**
What?
**[21:47] ---**
Now then! I've steeled myself, Noé!
**[21:51] ---**
I know not whether this will work,
but it's our only hope for a swift return.
**[21:55] ---**
What are you--?
**[21:58] ---**
I've found but one way.
**[22:00] ---**
One way we can defeat the Hellfire Witch.
**[22:08] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Riche!
**[00:13] ---**
Johann! Dante!
**[00:15] ---**
I'm so glad you're all right.
**[00:20] ---**
It's that quack and...
**[00:25] ---**
...the Hellfire Witch?!
**[00:30] ---**
Hand over *The Book of Vanitas*.
**[00:33] ---**
Do that, and I shall let you live.
**[00:35] ---**
Is that an order from your master, Luca?
**[00:40] ---**
How disappointing.
**[00:42] ---**
The young battle maiden who
dashed across the battlefield,
**[00:45] ---**
mercilessly exterminating her own kind...
**[00:48] ---**
I heard it was a sight so beautiful
that it made one shudder.
**[00:53] ---**
But I never would've
imagined you'd fall so low.
**[00:57] ---**
And your point is?
**[00:59] ---**
My point is I'm tired of playing with you.
**[01:04] ---**
Come to think of it,
I've yet to introduce myself.
**[01:09] ---**
My name is Vanitas.
**[01:11] ---**
The book and my name were passed down
to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[01:14] ---**
Yet I'm but a human!
**[01:19] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
once feasted on my blood.
**[01:22] ---**
Thus imbued with some of the vampire's power,
**[01:25] ---**
I was counted among
the Clan of the Blue Moon.
**[01:30] ---**
I had wished to avoid having to use
this power if at all possible, but...
**[01:35] ---**
Hellfire Witch, I shall make an exception
and reveal to you my true form!
**[01:46] ---**
What devilry is this?
**[02:08] ---**
As one might expect,
it takes one monster to battle another!
**[02:22] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:31] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[02:36] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[02:40] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:45] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:50] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:58] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[03:08] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[03:15] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[03:20] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[03:25] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[03:29] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[03:38] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[03:48] ---**
So it was all just a bluff.
**[03:51] ---**
He was buying time until
Thomas Berneux's paralysis wore off.
**[03:56] ---**
Using a curse-bearer like
a chess piece? That's...
**[04:00] ---**
He gut-punched a lady
without a shred of mercy.
**[04:04] ---**
What a jerk.
**[04:09] ---**
I cannot move.
**[04:11] ---**
Stay right there and watch,
**[04:14] ---**
O witch fallen to earth.
**[04:17] ---**
Now it's your turn, slayer of nine.
**[04:21] ---**
You take the form of a wolf
**[04:24] ---**
and haunt moonlit nights,
seeking the living blood of young women.
**[04:30] ---**
Your malnomen is Loup-Garou,
"wolf who hunts crimson."
**[04:45] ---**
I *will* have this man's true name back!
**[05:09] ---**
Where am I?
**[05:14] ---**
So that's your true name,
**[05:17] ---**
Bucolicus, "he who composes idylls."
**[05:21] ---**
Astounding.
**[05:24] ---**
Oops!
**[05:25] ---**
I was supposed to
cure him in front of Orlok.
**[05:28] ---**
That won't be necessary.
**[05:30] ---**
We shall tell Master Orlok
exactly what transpired here.
**[05:42] ---**
What the devil?
**[05:44] ---**
I paralyzed you, and the Loup-Garou
poison should yet remain.
**[05:48] ---**
It is not...
**[05:53] ---**
It is not over yet. I can still fight.
**[05:59] ---**
Noé, get over here!
**[06:08] ---**
Master Luca!
**[06:10] ---**
Hellfire Witch,
**[06:12] ---**
you do understand your predicament?
**[06:15] ---**
Should you make one false move,
**[06:18] ---**
my minion shall snap the brat's
bony neck in the wink of an eye.
**[06:24] ---**
He really is a massive jerk.
**[06:32] ---**
I can't hear a word
they're saying over there.
**[06:36] ---**
Nab the kid? What for?
**[06:39] ---**
While you keep Luca
or whatever his name is safe,
**[06:43] ---**
I'll use *The Book of Vanitas* to create
an area that incapacitates vampires
**[06:47] ---**
and try to reason with the witch.
**[06:49] ---**
Is that even possible?!
**[06:51] ---**
Indeed it is. But such power
weighs too heavily on a child's body.
**[06:57] ---**
Hold him still and cover his mouth
so he won't inhale my power.
**[07:02] ---**
And keep your distance but not too far.
**[07:05] ---**
After all, he must bear witness
to our little parley.
**[07:11] ---**
I believe you when you say you can
defeat the Hellfire Witch without a fight!
**[07:23] ---**
After him!
**[07:25] ---**
No, don't!
**[07:27] ---**
I am defeated and will hinder you no more.
**[07:30] ---**
Do with me what you will, but...
**[07:35] ---**
Do not harm my master!
**[07:39] ---**
I beg you.
**[07:49] ---**
I knew the child was your weakness!
**[07:56] ---**
What's with the tears
and that feeble attitude?
**[08:01] ---**
Such weakness is the result
of wishing to protect something.
**[08:06] ---**
But... I like it.
**[08:08] ---**
Huh?
**[08:09] ---**
I take back what
I just said, Hellfire Witch.
**[08:12] ---**
It's true that you've grown weak,
**[08:15] ---**
but that very weakness makes your
beauty shine all the more bright.
**[08:25] ---**
What's this?
**[08:28] ---**
My strength is gone.
**[08:30] ---**
Hellfire Witch, or should I say, "Jeanne,"
**[08:34] ---**
I've become quite intrigued by you.
**[08:46] ---**
What?
**[08:46] ---**
Huh?
**[09:07] ---**
That look only further whets my appetite.
**[09:17] ---**
How magnificent! You are a marvel, Jeanne!
**[09:20] ---**
What is this pounding in my chest?!
**[09:25] ---**
It's so very loud.
I can't take my eyes off of you.
**[09:28] ---**
More, more! I wish to see you
in every way, shape, and form!
**[09:35] ---**
Why, of course! Now I understand!
**[09:37] ---**
It must be...
**[09:39] ---**
...love!
**[09:44] ---**
I have fallen for you.
**[09:46] ---**
I'll love you from this day forth, Jeanne!
**[09:49] ---**
I must possess all of you. Be my bride!
**[09:55] ---**
How dare you!
**[09:59] ---**
What are you doing to Jeanne?!
**[10:04] ---**
Oh my.
**[10:06] ---**
Master Luca!
**[10:13] ---**
We must fall back this day.
**[10:15] ---**
But remember this! I *will* kill
you when next we meet!
**[10:18] ---**
I will be back, and I *will* kill you!
**[10:22] ---**
You'll come see me again?!
**[10:24] ---**
I can hardly wait!
**[10:28] ---**
Jeanne, let go of me!
**[10:30] ---**
I'll tear him limb from limb!
**[10:32] ---**
Master Luca, no!
**[10:47] ---**
Looks like things are about
to get interesting, Noé!
**[10:51] ---**
Seriously. What is your deal?
**[11:03] ---**
He's dead.
**[11:04] ---**
Who did this?
**[11:15] ---**
I went through all the trouble to
so utterly corrupt his name for him.
**[11:20] ---**
But no matter.
**[11:22] ---**
Whose name shall I claim next?
**[11:26] ---**
Now then, everyone!
**[11:28] ---**
The delightful Parade of Charlatan
is about to begin!
**[11:44] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia!
**[11:46] ---**
Monsieur Noé!
**[11:50] ---**
So it's over?
**[11:52] ---**
Of course, I don't believe every word,
**[11:55] ---**
but I shall postpone Amelia Ruth's
execution for the time being.
**[12:00] ---**
However, you shall remain
where I can keep an eye on you.
**[12:04] ---**
I'll have her work as a
live-in maid at Hôtel Chouchou.
**[12:10] ---**
That goes for you, too, human!
**[12:13] ---**
I grant that dubious book
of yours has some power,
**[12:17] ---**
but I've no intention
of turning you loose.
**[12:21] ---**
I take it Thomas Berneux is dead?
**[12:24] ---**
And you've no idea who killed him, do you?
**[12:28] ---**
Now I see.
**[12:30] ---**
You've realized how valuable
*The Book of Vanitas* and I can be.
**[12:36] ---**
Very well. Use me to your heart's content.
**[12:39] ---**
You'll be able to swiftly resolve
incidents involving curse-bearers.
**[12:45] ---**
And I'll no longer have to
waste time searching for patients.
**[12:52] ---**
Deliver this letter to the
front desk at Hôtel Chouchou.
**[12:56] ---**
Continue to use your room there
while you are here in Paris.
**[13:01] ---**
So you'll be keeping an eye on us?
**[13:03] ---**
Your room? As in me, too?!
**[13:07] ---**
Correct. You're that human's
caretaker, are you not?
**[13:12] ---**
Definitely not!
**[13:13] ---**
Noé's right. I am *his* caretaker!
**[13:17] ---**
You keep out of this!
**[13:22] ---**
Now, I'll cut to the chase, Amelia.
**[13:26] ---**
Yes?
**[13:28] ---**
Did you see Charlatan?
**[13:31] ---**
Charlatan?
**[13:35] ---**
I learned something interesting
from some of the vampires I've treated.
**[13:39] ---**
Right before they realized
they'd become curse-bearers,
**[13:43] ---**
they had all seen a similar sight.
**[13:46] ---**
They suddenly found
themselves in a thick fog.
**[13:49] ---**
And there, they saw
the Parade of Charlatan.
**[13:55] ---**
Fog? A parade?
**[13:59] ---**
I feel as if I saw something like
what you have described, but...
**[14:04] ---**
Forgive me. I just can't remember.
**[14:08] ---**
No dice, eh?
**[14:10] ---**
Perhaps you could
exam her, Noé Archiviste?
**[14:17] ---**
You know who I am?
**[14:20] ---**
I received a letter from your teacher.
**[14:24] ---**
It included your name
**[14:26] ---**
and a request that I provide
assistance during your stay in Paris.
**[14:32] ---**
Archiviste, the Fangs That Lay Bare Blood.
**[14:46] ---**
Well, Noé? Would you
like to drink my blood?
**[14:52] ---**
Don't worry.
**[14:54] ---**
You'll no longer see
anything if you do drink it.
**[15:03] ---**
Sis, what's Archiviste?
**[15:06] ---**
It's a clan with the power to read
people's memories by drinking their blood.
**[15:12] ---**
But I heard they died out long ago.
**[15:15] ---**
Please, if there is a way to search
my memory, I'd like you to try.
**[15:22] ---**
If there was any way
I could be of service...
**[15:28] ---**
Very well.
**[15:41] ---**
Umm... Monsieur Noé?
**[15:53] ---**
Deeper. I must go deeper.
**[16:00] ---**
I will lay bare that memory,
the one even she has forgotten.
**[16:15] ---**
There. That must be it!
**[16:22] ---**
Hm? Where am I?
**[16:26] ---**
I was on my way home when...
**[16:48] ---**
What is this?
**[16:54] ---**
I bid you welcome...
**[16:58] ---**
...to the Charlatan Parade!
**[17:05] ---**
It is an accursed thing.
**[17:08] ---**
I'm done for if it catches me.
**[17:24] ---**
There you are.
**[17:26] ---**
Now, show me your true name.
**[17:30] ---**
I'll be defiled. I'll be destroyed.
**[17:32] ---**
My life will--!
**[17:40] ---**
Monsieur Noé! What is it?! Monsieur Noé!
**[17:44] ---**
That thing stole it. It was stolen!
**[17:47] ---**
Her true name! That thing was behind it!
**[17:54] ---**
I saw Charlatan.
**[17:57] ---**
I know not whether it was
a dream or whether it was real.
**[18:01] ---**
But that thing corrupted
Mademoiselle Amelia's name,
**[18:05] ---**
I'm sure of it.
**[18:07] ---**
If that dark being is creating
all those curse-bearers,
**[18:13] ---**
it shall pay dearly, mark my words!
**[18:23] ---**
I have heard the entire tale, good people.
**[18:27] ---**
Bonjour! How I've longed to see you, Noé,
**[18:31] ---**
my beloved fiancé.
**[18:33] ---**
Huh?
**[18:34] ---**
What?
**[18:35] ---**
Fiancé?
**[18:36] ---**
No.
**[18:37] ---**
Come now! Why go and spoil the fun?!
**[18:46] ---**
This is Dominique de Sade.
**[18:48] ---**
We're not betrothed.
She is my childhood friend.
**[18:52] ---**
And at her feet is
her attendant, Kreisler.
**[18:55] ---**
Those are real rose petals and flowers?!
**[18:58] ---**
Hello there, Murr! It's been ages!
**[19:01] ---**
Dominique de Sade,
**[19:04] ---**
daughter of the
Marquis de Sade, Lord of Altus.
**[19:08] ---**
You have friends among
the nobility? Imagine that.
**[19:11] ---**
My teacher is her grandfather.
**[19:15] ---**
Count Orlok, please forgive me
for barging in like this.
**[19:20] ---**
No matter. The House of de Sade's
rude behavior predates your generation.
**[19:27] ---**
Such a sharp tongue.
**[19:30] ---**
I'm going to borrow Noé for a bit.
**[19:34] ---**
Domi, wait. Please, Domi!
**[19:37] ---**
I've been invited to a masquerade ball.
**[19:40] ---**
You will escort me.
**[19:42] ---**
Why me? You could take somebody else.
**[19:45] ---**
I'm here because I was worried about you.
**[20:02] ---**
Lord Ruthven will be there tonight.
**[20:05] ---**
Rumor has it he is conducting
his own research on curse-bearers.
**[20:10] ---**
You may even learn more about
that Charlatan you mentioned.
**[20:22] ---**
The barrier, the product of an experiment
gone wrong long ago, or so it's said.
**[20:28] ---**
It's a spatial distortion linking this
world to Altus, the vampires' world.
**[20:39] ---**
Noé!
**[20:55] ---**
Have you lost your mind?!
**[20:57] ---**
Humans weren't meant to cross the--!
**[20:59] ---**
This isn't my first visit to Altus.
**[21:03] ---**
I learned that I can cross the barrier
as long as I'm touching a vampire.
**[21:07] ---**
And thankfully, you took my hand.
**[21:12] ---**
So what's the problem?
**[21:15] ---**
At any rate, let's step outside, Noé.
**[21:20] ---**
Why did you follow us, human?
**[21:22] ---**
Because I knew you wanted
to separate Noé from me.
**[21:29] ---**
You've got that much right.
You really are an enigma, human.
**[21:52] ---**
You get stars in your eyes over here, too?
**[21:56] ---**
This city never changes
no matter how many times I visit.
**[22:01] ---**
Altus Paris.

"The World Formula Theory.
**[00:10] ---**
This theory was first proposed by
the great alchemist Paracelsus.
**[00:15] ---**
It claims that just beyond
the humankind's world
**[00:18] ---**
lies a realm wherein the entire mortal
world has been replaced with formulas."
**[00:25] ---**
"Paracelsus believed that if one could
rewrite the world's constitutive formulas,
**[00:31] ---**
it would eliminate all sickness
**[00:33] ---**
and steer humankind toward happiness.
**[00:38] ---**
He immersed himself in his work,
**[00:40] ---**
and before long, he did an experiment
that meddled with the World Formula.
**[00:46] ---**
But the experiment led to an
accident known as the Babel incident."
**[00:56] ---**
"Babel visited upon humankind
all manner of calamities
**[01:00] ---**
and brought unto this world
things that had never before existed.
**[01:04] ---**
Flowers that glowed with their own light,
**[01:08] ---**
minerals with a blue radiance,
**[01:11] ---**
and red-eyed humanoids
came to be for the very first time.
**[01:16] ---**
Each one resulted from having its
original constitutive formula rewritten
**[01:21] ---**
after the World Formula was meddled with.
**[01:24] ---**
That is why we now have airships
equipped with aerodynamic lift generators,
**[01:29] ---**
steam locomotives, street lights,
and other inventions.
**[01:33] ---**
They are all powered by astermite,
**[01:35] ---**
a mineral created by the rewriting
of the constitutive formula for coal.
**[01:40] ---**
Vampires came to be
**[01:42] ---**
when Babel caused the constitutive
formula for humans to be rewritten.
**[01:46] ---**
They are an entirely new species."
**[01:49] ---**
We are, too, teacher?
**[01:51] ---**
That's right.
**[01:55] ---**
But I doubt few if any of humanity's
children know the truth of the matter.
**[02:01] ---**
But we must never forget.
**[02:04] ---**
Teacher, you look like you're having fun.
**[02:08] ---**
Yes, I am. It's quite fun.
**[02:12] ---**
And I'm certain it will become
ever more fun as time goes by.
**[02:16] ---**
And it's all because
you came along with me,
**[02:20] ---**
my darling kitten, Mon Chaton.
**[02:31] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:40] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[02:45] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[02:49] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:54] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:59] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[03:07] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[03:17] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[03:24] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[03:29] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[03:34] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[03:38] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[03:47] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[04:02] ---**
Isn't this carriage far too large?
**[04:04] ---**
I told you we're going to a ball.
**[04:07] ---**
You're not planning on going
dressed like that, are you?
**[04:11] ---**
Please remove this collar
if you're changing.
**[04:15] ---**
I'll go wait with Vanitas.
**[04:20] ---**
Domi, are you upset about something?
**[04:25] ---**
Was it a bad idea to bring Vanitas along?
**[04:29] ---**
I thought he should come along
**[04:32] ---**
if we were going to learn
more about curse-bearers.
**[04:36] ---**
But I failed to see things
from your standpoint.
**[04:39] ---**
Forgive me, Domi.
**[04:44] ---**
I'm simply worried.
**[04:47] ---**
It was my Grandfather's bidding
**[04:49] ---**
that led you to join forces
with the book's bearer.
**[04:55] ---**
But your personal involvement
with curse-bearers?
**[05:01] ---**
I believe you've convinced yourself that
what happened back then was your fault.
**[05:11] ---**
Domi, you smell so good.
**[05:17] ---**
You haven't dropped a hint
like that in a long time.
**[05:25] ---**
But that won't do.
You must tell me what you want.
**[05:29] ---**
Well, Noé? Do you want to suck my blood?
**[05:39] ---**
Yes, Domi. I want to suck your blood.
**[05:43] ---**
All right.
**[05:44] ---**
My blood is all yours...
**[05:48] ---**
...*mon chéri*.
**[06:33] ---**
Hmm?
**[06:34] ---**
What is it? Are you not feeling well?
**[06:37] ---**
No.
**[06:41] ---**
Masks... Jesters...
**[06:44] ---**
I can't help recalling what I saw.
**[06:49] ---**
A flower for you.
**[06:52] ---**
Thank you!
**[06:53] ---**
Mother, look, look!
**[06:55] ---**
Isn't that wonderful, Catherine?
**[06:57] ---**
You're so lucky, sis!
**[07:02] ---**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[07:05] ---**
Me? What about your little dalliance
while I was right outside the door?
**[07:10] ---**
Dalliance? What are you talking about?
**[07:13] ---**
Domi is a treasured friend.
**[07:15] ---**
Don't say things that may be misconstrued.
It only invites trouble for her.
**[07:20] ---**
You vampires define friendships
in a strange manner.
**[07:24] ---**
You speak of that little
exchange we had earlier.
**[07:28] ---**
That wasn't the first time Noé sucked
my blood simply because he had a thirst.
**[07:33] ---**
An Archiviste is forced
to see a person's memories
**[07:37] ---**
the first time they suck their blood.
**[07:39] ---**
But Noé frowns on prying into
another's memories without their consent.
**[07:44] ---**
That's why--
**[07:45] ---**
Where'd Noé go?
**[07:47] ---**
It seems you shouldn't
have removed his collar.
**[07:52] ---**
No matter. Go on in.
**[08:00] ---**
Just so you know, you may cry
and scream, but it will all be in vain.
**[08:05] ---**
I didn't expect to find automatons here.
**[08:09] ---**
I'd heard that vampires disliked
human technology for the most part.
**[08:13] ---**
Domi, who is hosting tonight's--
**[08:18] ---**
They wandered off? What trouble they are!
**[08:22] ---**
Uncle has yet to arrive?
**[08:25] ---**
There's been no word from him?
**[08:28] ---**
None.
**[08:30] ---**
I hope nothing bad has happened.
**[08:32] ---**
Just in case, please inform
Marquis Machina about my uncle.
**[08:36] ---**
I will keep looking for her.
**[08:43] ---**
What are *you* doing here?!
Don't tell me you followed us?!
**[08:47] ---**
No! I...
**[08:49] ---**
Master Lucius, who is this person?
**[08:52] ---**
Lucius?
**[08:53] ---**
He is...
**[08:55] ---**
He is a friend of mine!
**[08:57] ---**
--With me!
**[08:58] ---**
--Huh?!
--With me!
**[08:59] ---**
There's an important matter
we must speak of! Th-This way!
**[09:10] ---**
I-I don't understand. Wh-Why now?
**[09:19] ---**
Answer me, human.
**[09:21] ---**
Why Noé? What are your intentions?
**[09:25] ---**
I wonder...
**[09:26] ---**
I won't stop Noé from
working alongside you.
**[09:31] ---**
I'll even offer what assistance
I can if he so wishes.
**[09:36] ---**
But if you're trying to use
his power to your advantage...
**[09:49] ---**
Friends, you say? Don't make me laugh.
**[09:53] ---**
Men only pay heed to women like you
when it's convenient for them.
**[10:03] ---**
I do not deny that the
Vampire of the Blue Moon exists.
**[10:09] ---**
If Noé believes it,
**[10:11] ---**
I'll proceed with the
assumption that your power
**[10:15] ---**
and that of
*The Book of Vanitas* are real.
**[10:17] ---**
But I don't understand why you,
a bearer of the blue moon's power,
**[10:22] ---**
keep babbling on about saving
the vampires of the crimson moon.
**[10:27] ---**
It strains credulity.
**[10:30] ---**
Vanitas should bear
a deep grudge against us.
**[10:33] ---**
Can you swear you're not
an assassin sent at his bidding?
**[10:38] ---**
Does not the very fact that
you've assumed the name of Vanitas
**[10:43] ---**
prove that you worship
the Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[10:51] ---**
Worship?
**[10:52] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[11:03] ---**
I see. You do have a point there.
**[11:07] ---**
All the vampires I've come across thus far
**[11:10] ---**
have only thought in terms of whether
or not *The Book of Vanitas* was real.
**[11:15] ---**
Fools, one and all.
**[11:19] ---**
But now I see. I've been going
about this backward.
**[11:24] ---**
I should have started by burning
my very existence into your brains.
**[11:47] ---**
Hear me now, vampires!
**[11:50] ---**
My name is Vanitas.
**[11:51] ---**
--The book and my name were passed down
to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[11:53] ---**
--What is this?
--The book and my name were passed down
to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[11:55] ---**
--Is this some sort of show?
--The book and my name were passed down
to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[11:56] ---**
--Is this some sort of show?
--Yet I'm but a human!
**[11:57] ---**
What the devil is he doing?!
**[11:59] ---**
First, I shall prove to you
right here, right now,
**[12:03] ---**
that I number among
the Clan of the Blue Moon.
**[12:08] ---**
This here...
**[12:09] ---**
...proves my claim.
**[12:13] ---**
He bears the mark!
**[12:14] ---**
I trust that everyone here knows
who it was who made this mark.
**[12:21] ---**
You must sense by instinct
**[12:24] ---**
the sort of power
that was granted unto me.
**[12:28] ---**
Slay him! Tear him limb from limb!
**[12:40] ---**
Feast your eyes.
This is *The Book of Vanitas*.
**[12:43] ---**
It has the power to corrupt
your true names with ease,
**[12:46] ---**
plunging you into
a despair worse than death.
**[12:50] ---**
It is the cursed grimoire.
**[12:52] ---**
But I assure you,
there is nothing to fear!
**[12:57] ---**
Indeed, you are quite fortunate.
**[13:00] ---**
For I, Vanitas of the Blue Moon Clan,
**[13:04] ---**
shall use *The Book of Vanitas*
not to slaughter you, but to save you!
**[13:09] ---**
Do you hear me?
**[13:11] ---**
You need only tremble in your humiliation
while you are saved by my own hand!
**[13:17] ---**
Whether you seek this or not,
**[13:21] ---**
I *will* save you vampires!
**[13:24] ---**
That very deed
**[13:25] ---**
will be my ultimate act
**[13:27] ---**
of vengeance against Vanitas!
**[13:36] ---**
I *will* save the vampires.
**[13:39] ---**
Now I see.
**[13:41] ---**
That's why you're so...
**[13:47] ---**
Vanitas.
**[13:56] ---**
So there you have it!
**[13:58] ---**
If any among you are curse-bearers,
do not hesitate to step forward!
**[14:06] ---**
I, Vanitas, doctor and vampire specialist,
shall save you without fail!
**[14:12] ---**
Enough of this!
**[14:13] ---**
Just kill him!
**[14:14] ---**
--Huh?
**[14:14] ---**
--The Clan of the Blue Moon will save us?!
--Huh?
**[14:15] ---**
--The Clan of the Blue Moon will save us?!
**[14:17] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
is the root cause of curse bearers!
**[14:21] ---**
Kill that human!
**[14:22] ---**
Foul creature!
**[14:24] ---**
What does he think he's doing?!
**[14:26] ---**
I have no idea.
**[14:27] ---**
Why cause an uproar here of all places?!
**[14:29] ---**
I have no idea.
**[14:35] ---**
Oh, my, so this is what
all the fuss is about.
**[14:41] ---**
What brings a mortal man here?
**[14:45] ---**
He reeks. I fear my nose shall
fall off from his foul human stench.
**[14:50] ---**
Yikes! Is that my sister, Veronica?!
**[14:52] ---**
She said she wasn't coming!
**[14:55] ---**
Let us remove that filth without delay.
**[15:10] ---**
Where is he?!
**[15:11] ---**
The human's gone!
**[15:16] ---**
Someone spirited away
that human in the wink of an eye.
**[15:21] ---**
This just got interesting.
**[15:24] ---**
Now, good people!
We shall hunt down the mortal.
**[15:27] ---**
Just as our forebears did,
**[15:29] ---**
let us find and slay the filthy beast,
for his ilk is the bane of our kind!
**[15:37] ---**
Wasn't that Jeanne who
just carried off Vanitas?
**[15:44] ---**
Huh? Oh, yes it was.
**[15:46] ---**
What would possess her to help him?
**[15:49] ---**
I told her I wished to see
the two of you once more.
**[15:55] ---**
Might you forgive my discourtesy
the other day, Monsieur Noé?
**[16:00] ---**
That day...
**[16:04] ---**
I was not thinking straight.
My temper got the better of me.
**[16:08] ---**
My immaturity brings me nothing but shame.
**[16:13] ---**
Please, Luca. Noé alone will suffice.
**[16:17] ---**
Let's join the search for Vanitas.
**[16:21] ---**
Both you and I cannot afford to
have Vanitas die here this day.
**[16:26] ---**
Okay!
**[16:30] ---**
Lucky devils! Those lucky devils!
**[16:33] ---**
That sounds like such fun!
**[16:40] ---**
Imagine that.
**[16:42] ---**
To think the day would come when
a woman would sweep me off my feet.
**[16:47] ---**
Indeed, this is the most unexpected--
**[16:52] ---**
I didn't think we would
meet again so soon, Jeanne.
**[17:05] ---**
Jeanne?
**[17:10] ---**
A song?
**[17:11] ---**
What is this cacophony?
**[17:20] ---**
Curse-bearers?!
**[17:29] ---**
What is this?
**[17:31] ---**
Several curse-bearers
here all of a sudden?
**[17:39] ---**
Could the voice of the
curse-bearers be behind this?
**[17:44] ---**
This is certainly a pickle.
**[17:47] ---**
Sis?!
**[17:48] ---**
Catherine?!
**[17:57] ---**
Master Lucius!
**[17:59] ---**
Thank goodness, you're unharmed.
**[18:10] ---**
Master Luca.
**[18:14] ---**
You have the urge to suck blood.
**[18:17] ---**
Jeanne, are you a curse-bearer?
**[18:26] ---**
Who are you fiends?!
**[18:29] ---**
Noé!
**[18:30] ---**
Please stand back!
**[18:40] ---**
I am...
**[18:42] ---**
Well, no matter either way.
**[18:51] ---**
You should suck *my* blood.
**[18:53] ---**
What?
**[19:01] ---**
I'm offering you my blood.
**[19:04] ---**
Surely you jest. Who would want
the blood of a human such as you?
**[19:09] ---**
You wish to save the boy, don't you?
**[19:14] ---**
There's no time to be choosy.
**[19:18] ---**
The sweet scent of blood...
**[19:22] ---**
What has gotten into you?
**[19:26] ---**
My fangs may be the death of you.
**[19:31] ---**
Why do this?
**[19:36] ---**
I don't know.
**[19:39] ---**
At the moment, I guess
I don't care what happens.
**[19:44] ---**
No, wait. Perhaps I'm wrong.
**[20:00] ---**
I'm intrigued.
**[20:02] ---**
What would it feel like
if you were to suck my blood?
**[20:07] ---**
That's right. When all is said
and done, I have fallen for you.
**[20:14] ---**
Now then, Jeanne.
**[20:17] ---**
N-No, not *your* blood.
**[20:22] ---**
Here you go, Jeanne.
**[21:36] ---**
Now I see.
**[21:39] ---**
This isn't... half... bad.
**[21:44] ---**
I'll ask you once more.
**[21:46] ---**
Who are you fiends?
**[21:50] ---**
Charlatan.
**[21:55] ---**
That's right. We are known as Charlatan.

**[00:24] ---**
Y-You...!
**[00:28] ---**
You...
**[00:32] ---**
...gate-crashers!
**[00:38] ---**
Yes, I knew it.
**[00:41] ---**
I really *do* know you.
**[00:46] ---**
I have seen you through
someone else's eyes.
**[00:50] ---**
I am almost certain his name was... Louis.

"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[01:18] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[01:23] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[01:27] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[01:32] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[01:37] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[01:45] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[01:55] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[02:02] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[02:07] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[02:12] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[02:16] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[02:25] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[02:37] ---**
Let me introduce you, Noé.
**[02:40] ---**
These are my darling grandchildren,
Louis and his little sister, Dominique.
**[02:45] ---**
Oh, how wonderful it is that
you're here while Dominique is visiting.
**[02:51] ---**
I must once again be off without delay.
**[02:54] ---**
You may ask these two about this place.
**[02:56] ---**
It's nice to meet you, Noé.
**[02:59] ---**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[03:02] ---**
It's nice to meet you, too.
**[03:07] ---**
Really, Noé? You were raised by humans?
**[03:11] ---**
Yes.
**[03:11] ---**
So you've been in the
human world the whole time?
**[03:14] ---**
That's right.
**[03:15] ---**
Where are your parents?
**[03:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:20] ---**
My grandma and grandpa said they
found me crying all alone in the snow.
**[03:25] ---**
Really?
**[03:27] ---**
What a dummy.
**[03:30] ---**
You believed what those humans said?
**[03:32] ---**
Louis.
**[03:34] ---**
They probably abducted you
**[03:36] ---**
and were raising you until
you were big enough to eat.
**[03:39] ---**
No!
**[03:41] ---**
Grandma and grandpa aren't bad people!
**[03:51] ---**
They're not.
**[03:58] ---**
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
**[04:01] ---**
Huh? What's his problem?
**[04:07] ---**
Dang it.
**[04:15] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[04:20] ---**
There, there. There, there.
**[04:23] ---**
So after your grandma and grandpa died,
you were taken by kidnappers?
**[04:29] ---**
Mm-hmm. I was taken
to all sorts of places.
**[04:34] ---**
Finally, the Teacher bought me.
**[04:37] ---**
*Bonsoir*, my little one.
**[04:41] ---**
Why do you call him, "Teacher?"
**[04:43] ---**
When I called him "Master,"
he told me to use "Teacher" instead.
**[04:48] ---**
Noé, it must've been so difficult.
**[04:52] ---**
Are you kidding? I get three meals a day,
**[04:55] ---**
and he took me here
to the world of vampires.
**[04:58] ---**
It's been so much fun, like a vacation.
**[05:06] ---**
You're such a weirdo!
**[05:16] ---**
Enough, Louis. It's not *that* funny.
**[05:43] ---**
Louis and Domi were my very first friends.
**[05:54] ---**
Are you the ones who live in
that castle deep in the forest?
**[05:58] ---**
Mm-hmm!
**[06:00] ---**
I'm Mina!
**[06:01] ---**
Fred!
**[06:02] ---**
Gilles!
**[06:03] ---**
Fanny!
**[06:04] ---**
Let's play!
**[06:06] ---**
We befriended the village children
**[06:09] ---**
and even found a secret hideout.
**[06:19] ---**
Each day was incredibly fun.
**[06:25] ---**
What? Really?
**[06:27] ---**
You can learn things about people
just by sucking their blood?
**[06:31] ---**
Mm-hmm. It's like all these
visions come gushing in.
**[06:36] ---**
Wow, that's amazing! Try it on me!
**[06:38] ---**
Really? I can drink your blood?
**[06:41] ---**
Hurray!
**[06:47] ---**
Huh? I saw lots of myself.
**[06:51] ---**
Wow, it really does work.
**[06:56] ---**
No, I think I'll pass.
**[06:58] ---**
Get him, Noé!
**[07:00] ---**
Attack!
**[07:06] ---**
Well, Noé? Let's have it!
**[07:16] ---**
Noé?
**[07:21] ---**
I saw Louis all alone,
curled up in the darkness.
**[07:29] ---**
It made me sad.
**[07:33] ---**
If only my power as an Archiviste
had been greater back then...
**[07:38] ---**
If only I could have seen Louis' past...
**[07:46] ---**
Domi came to visit each month
from the far-off manor of the de Sades.
**[07:52] ---**
Louis, however, spent his days
at the Teacher's castle.
**[07:56] ---**
Soon after I was born,
I was diagnosed with a "sickness."
**[08:00] ---**
They moved me to Grandfather's castle
so I could get better.
**[08:05] ---**
A sickness? What kind?
**[08:08] ---**
I don't know.
**[08:10] ---**
Do you miss your mother and father?
**[08:12] ---**
Why would I?
**[08:14] ---**
I am dead to the House of de Sade.
**[08:37] ---**
Louis?
**[08:39] ---**
You're still awake?
**[08:42] ---**
Um, is it okay if I sleep
with you tonight?
**[08:49] ---**
Louis?
**[08:53] ---**
Fine. It's not like I have a choice.
**[08:57] ---**
Great. I'll join you.
**[08:59] ---**
You were there, too, Noé?
**[09:03] ---**
Huh? What is happening?
**[09:06] ---**
What, Noé?
**[09:08] ---**
You're scared of thunder, too?
**[09:12] ---**
He's asleep already?
**[09:15] ---**
Brings back memories, huh, Louis?
**[09:17] ---**
The three of us always
used to sleep together.
**[09:20] ---**
We're not little children anymore.
**[09:24] ---**
I wish I could live here all the time.
**[09:29] ---**
Back home, all I do is study
and attend my lessons.
**[09:34] ---**
It's far more fun here,
playing with everyone in the forest.
**[09:38] ---**
I envy you, Louis.
**[09:50] ---**
You shouldn't say that.
**[09:52] ---**
Once you get older and learn
about the world, you will understand.
**[09:59] ---**
You'll understand how much...
**[10:02] ---**
...how much...
**[10:04] ---**
...everyone loves and cherishes you.
**[10:09] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[10:12] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[10:14] ---**
Darte Datin is so wummy.
**[10:16] ---**
That's my arm, not Tarte Tatin!
**[10:19] ---**
Ow! Let go!
**[10:21] ---**
So wummy.
**[10:23] ---**
Enough already, you idiot!
**[10:27] ---**
Wow, look, Domi!
**[10:30] ---**
It's a beautiful blue moon!
**[10:32] ---**
Noé, I'm scared.
**[10:35] ---**
It's all right. Look.
**[10:37] ---**
I could search the world over
and never find another vampire
**[10:40] ---**
who makes such merry at
the sight of the blue moon.
**[10:45] ---**
Grandfather?
**[10:50] ---**
What is a curse-bearer?
**[10:55] ---**
I found documents about me
in your collection room.
**[11:00] ---**
Whoops, I didn't mean
to leave those lying around.
**[11:06] ---**
Nice try. You did it on purpose
so that I'd find them.
**[11:11] ---**
Hold out your hand.
**[11:13] ---**
Is it because I'm one
of those curse-bearers?
**[11:16] ---**
Did my mother and father have Domi
because they wanted to forget me?
**[11:23] ---**
Grandfather, what would you have me do?
**[11:29] ---**
No, you're mistaken, my dear Louis.
**[11:32] ---**
I do not wish for you to
do anything in particular.
**[11:37] ---**
You are free.
**[11:39] ---**
You need only do as you please.
**[11:42] ---**
As for me,
**[11:44] ---**
I simply wish to observe your free will
in action and see its results.
**[11:56] ---**
What's with him?
**[11:58] ---**
That *really* is in poor taste.
**[12:05] ---**
Hey, Louis.
**[12:07] ---**
What are you making?
**[12:08] ---**
It's a secret.
**[12:17] ---**
Come on, Louis. What are you making?
**[12:20] ---**
I told you it's a secret!
**[12:25] ---**
After all, it's my gift to you.
**[12:29] ---**
I can hardly wait.
**[12:31] ---**
Well, try.
**[12:32] ---**
I can hardly wait. I can hardly wait.
**[12:37] ---**
Looking back, I think it
was around that time
**[12:40] ---**
that Louis began to act strange.
**[12:50] ---**
Huh? You're making another one now?
**[12:52] ---**
Yes, I messed up the last one.
**[13:06] ---**
Louis, is there something I can do?
**[13:09] ---**
What can I do to help you?!
**[13:17] ---**
Noé...
**[13:20] ---**
I... am...
**[13:23] ---**
Louis! Noé!
**[13:26] ---**
Domi, is something--
**[13:27] ---**
Noé, I just heard the maids talking.
**[13:32] ---**
And?
**[13:33] ---**
M-Mina is...
**[13:34] ---**
Mina is to be executed
tomorrow? Is that it?
**[13:42] ---**
Mina is to be executed tomorrow?
**[13:46] ---**
But why?
**[13:48] ---**
Why? Because she is a curse-bearer.
**[13:52] ---**
A curse-bearer?
**[13:58] ---**
They are beheaded by a bourreau.
That's the custom.
**[14:01] ---**
You knew about Mina?
**[14:08] ---**
We have to go save her!
**[14:10] ---**
What? Don't be stupid.
**[14:12] ---**
Save her?
**[14:13] ---**
How?
**[14:14] ---**
Can you lift the blue moon's curse?
**[14:17] ---**
Of course you can't.
**[14:19] ---**
No one can save her, Noé!
**[14:22] ---**
How can you say that?!
**[14:25] ---**
I merely speak the truth.
**[14:27] ---**
We won't know unless we try!
**[14:32] ---**
Go ahead! Try to save her
right here, right now!
**[14:37] ---**
Louis.
**[14:38] ---**
Listen here, Noé.
**[14:40] ---**
There is nothing you can do.
**[14:44] ---**
There is absolutely nothing you can do.
**[14:48] ---**
Louis, you fool!
**[14:51] ---**
Noé!
**[14:57] ---**
Noé, I want to save Mina, too.
**[15:02] ---**
Might we not help her flee the village?
**[15:23] ---**
Mina? What's the matter?
**[15:31] ---**
Mina?
**[15:33] ---**
What's wrong?
**[15:43] ---**
Mina? Fred?
**[16:06] ---**
Domi, Noé...
**[16:09] ---**
I'm so glad you're unharmed.
**[16:13] ---**
Huh? Louis?
**[16:31] ---**
Louis!
**[16:40] ---**
Gilles... Fanny...
**[16:42] ---**
Blood. I want blood.
**[16:45] ---**
Blood! Give me blood!
**[16:53] ---**
Domi, run.
**[16:56] ---**
Noé?
**[16:59] ---**
Blood!
**[17:00] ---**
Run, Domi!
**[17:05] ---**
Louis, snap out of it!
**[17:07] ---**
What's the matter?
**[17:09] ---**
Are you angry with me?
**[17:11] ---**
Because I didn't listen to you?
**[17:13] ---**
Louis! Louis, listen!
**[17:16] ---**
It was all my fault!
**[17:18] ---**
Please! I want the old Louis back!
**[17:35] ---**
Kill me. I want you to kill me... Noé.
**[17:41] ---**
What?
**[17:43] ---**
I'm begging you, Noé.
**[17:47] ---**
I can never return to what I once was.
**[17:51] ---**
It won't be long before
a bourreau beheads me.
**[17:59] ---**
If I'm doomed to die, Noé...
**[18:03] ---**
If I'm doomed to die, I want you to...
**[18:06] ---**
...kill me!
**[18:14] ---**
I can't... Louis.
**[18:18] ---**
I could never do that.
**[18:29] ---**
Louis.
**[18:31] ---**
Louis?
**[18:33] ---**
Louis!
**[18:35] ---**
You're so smart,
and you can sometimes be mean.
**[18:39] ---**
You're also kind.
**[18:41] ---**
And we were always together.
**[18:44] ---**
You are my cherished friend.
**[18:58] ---**
That was a close one.
**[19:02] ---**
I was right to hurry back.
**[19:09] ---**
Are you all right, Noé?
**[19:33] ---**
Yes... Teacher.
**[19:51] ---**
Louis said he wanted you
to have this when the time came.
**[19:56] ---**
He told me to keep it till then.
**[20:11] ---**
Wooden stakes?
**[20:14] ---**
It's a secret!
**[20:15] ---**
After all, it's my gift to you.
**[20:25] ---**
Louis, what did you feel inside
while you were making these?
**[20:30] ---**
Kill me, Noé.
**[20:32] ---**
Take that stake and drive it
through my heart!
**[20:41] ---**
Noé!
**[20:46] ---**
Forgive me, Louis.
**[20:48] ---**
I could not save you.
**[20:51] ---**
I could not even kill you
as you had wished.
**[20:57] ---**
Forgive me.
**[21:00] ---**
Forgive me.
**[21:03] ---**
Forgive me.
**[21:07] ---**
Poor thing.
**[21:09] ---**
You were unable to save
your beloved friend.
**[21:13] ---**
How very sad.
**[21:14] ---**
Is it too much to bear?
**[21:18] ---**
Shall I take you to Louis?
Would you like that?
**[21:23] ---**
Then you would no longer feel all alone.
**[21:26] ---**
Just one thing.
**[21:28] ---**
In exchange...
**[21:32] ---**
...I want you to give me your true name.
**[21:37] ---**
I...
**[21:40] ---**
There is absolutely nothing you can do.
**[21:47] ---**
*Non!*
**[21:56] ---**
What are you doing, Noé?
**[21:59] ---**
Did you twist your ankle dancing?

**[00:08] ---**
Mon Chaton.
**[00:10] ---**
Listen to me well.
**[00:12] ---**
You must never let anyone
take your true name.
**[00:19] ---**
It is the formula that
gives shape to who you are.
**[00:25] ---**
That is to say...
**[00:29] ---**
...it is your very life.
**[00:36] ---**
I want you to give me your true name.
**[00:41] ---**
*Non!*
**[00:45] ---**
What are you doing, Noé?
**[00:48] ---**
Did you twist your ankle dancing?
**[00:52] ---**
Who are you?
**[00:57] ---**
So, you're from Charlatan?
**[00:59] ---**
There's blood on your neck. Are you hurt?
**[01:04] ---**
I don't kiss and tell.
**[01:15] ---**
Stay away from Master Luca!
**[01:25] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[01:34] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[01:39] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[01:43] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[01:48] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[01:53] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:01] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[02:11] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[02:18] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[02:23] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[02:28] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[02:32] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[02:41] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[02:52] ---**
You said you're from Charlatan.
**[02:55] ---**
What is it you want?
**[02:57] ---**
Was this pandemonium your doing?
**[03:06] ---**
How delightful.
**[03:08] ---**
How very delightful!
**[03:15] ---**
Enough, Naenia.
We've already been here too long.
**[03:19] ---**
The Queen's Fangs
will soon get wind of this.
**[03:22] ---**
Tsk, how disappointing.
**[03:30] ---**
That voice is the same as before.
**[03:40] ---**
Noé.
**[03:42] ---**
I've taken a liking to you.
**[03:46] ---**
When next we meet,
I want you to give me your true name.
**[03:51] ---**
Wait! What do you want?!
**[03:54] ---**
Why are you creating curse-bearers?
**[03:56] ---**
And Louis! Why did you--?
**[03:57] ---**
Bye-bye, Noé.
**[03:59] ---**
Get back here!
**[04:02] ---**
After them!
**[04:04] ---**
Yes, Master Luca!
**[04:08] ---**
--Wait for me!
**[04:09] ---**
--Noé!
--Wait for me!
**[04:10] ---**
I'm so glad I found you!
**[04:13] ---**
It's bedlam in the great hall.
**[04:15] ---**
Are you all right?
**[04:22] ---**
Domi.
**[04:24] ---**
Noé?
**[04:28] ---**
Get a hold of yourself!
There are curse-bearers in the great hall!
**[04:31] ---**
They all appeared at once!
**[04:34] ---**
And those who blacked out
**[04:36] ---**
are being driven mad by
the curse-bearers' voices.
**[04:39] ---**
That is the malnomen Dissonance,
the Beastly Orchestra.
**[04:47] ---**
This rare malnomen occurs when those
afflicted with maladies gather together.
**[04:53] ---**
The voice they make creates a dissonance
that drives all around them mad.
**[04:58] ---**
And you are the one
who can save them, human?
**[05:04] ---**
I'll see what I can do.
**[05:08] ---**
Very well.
**[05:15] ---**
Then I will protect you.
**[05:18] ---**
Curse-bearer heads will
roll if we don't act now.
**[05:21] ---**
Quickly!
**[05:24] ---**
That's right.
**[05:25] ---**
Things are different now.
**[05:28] ---**
The power Vanitas wields--
**[05:30] ---**
it can save them!
**[05:35] ---**
There! Your first patient!
**[05:57] ---**
Who the devil are they?
**[06:02] ---**
The Clan of the Blue Moon!
**[06:05] ---**
Was it you who turned
them into curse-bearers?
**[06:09] ---**
Kill him.
**[06:10] ---**
Kill him.
**[06:11] ---**
Kill him!
**[06:12] ---**
Kill him!
**[06:13] ---**
Kill that human!
**[06:18] ---**
Vanitas, I must thank you.
**[06:21] ---**
What's with you?
**[06:22] ---**
Nothing. It's just...
**[06:24] ---**
I wished to say that.
**[06:32] ---**
Noé, you're a bit clueless.
**[06:38] ---**
This is bad! Get out of here!
**[06:40] ---**
Domi!
**[06:41] ---**
From what I saw,
I'd say there's one curse-bearer left.
**[06:44] ---**
--But--
**[06:45] ---**
--Now, go!
--But--
**[06:50] ---**
If you don't...
**[06:52] ---**
Domi, my dear!
**[06:56] ---**
Whatever are you doing with that mortal?
**[07:02] ---**
You're looking well, Sister Veronica.
**[07:08] ---**
Me, clueless?
**[07:11] ---**
About what?
**[07:12] ---**
And you are the one
who can save them, human?
**[07:16] ---**
I'll see what I can do.
**[07:20] ---**
Vanitas...
**[07:26] ---**
Catherine, stop.
**[07:40] ---**
She's...
**[07:44] ---**
It's too late for this one.
**[07:50] ---**
There's no going back once
the flesh is as corrupted as this.
**[07:54] ---**
Kill... me. Kill... me.
**[08:01] ---**
Kill me before I murder
my little sister, too.
**[08:08] ---**
Vanitas.
**[08:10] ---**
Please, wait. Vanitas!
**[08:16] ---**
Stay out of the way, Noé.
**[08:28] ---**
I see.
**[08:29] ---**
No.
**[08:30] ---**
So that's your true name.
**[08:32] ---**
Don't!
**[08:33] ---**
It suits you well.
**[08:35] ---**
No!
**[08:46] ---**
Why?!
**[08:47] ---**
Huh? What's got your knickers in a knot?
**[08:50] ---**
I've said it from the start, haven't I?
**[08:53] ---**
It matters not what you people want!
**[08:56] ---**
I *will* save the vampires.
**[09:02] ---**
I will do as I please.
**[09:04] ---**
I will use the methods I choose.
**[09:06] ---**
It matters not what you people want!
**[09:10] ---**
I *will* save the vampires.
**[09:17] ---**
Is this... salvation?
**[09:21] ---**
Kill... me.
**[09:23] ---**
Kill me. Kill me, Noé.
**[09:33] ---**
I don't understand.
**[09:34] ---**
Vanitas.
**[09:37] ---**
What is salvation?!
**[09:43] ---**
Tell me. What is salvation?!
**[09:46] ---**
As if I'd know.
**[09:47] ---**
Make of it what you will.
**[09:53] ---**
I found you!
**[10:00] ---**
Marquis Machina! Hurry!
**[10:02] ---**
Stop my sister before it's too late!
**[10:13] ---**
Oh, the stench, the stench, the stench!
**[10:16] ---**
It reeks of man. The stink of humans!
**[10:19] ---**
There is truly nothing worse.
**[10:24] ---**
That mask is obstructing her sight,
**[10:26] ---**
yet she can still
rewrite formulas like this?!
**[10:29] ---**
Those *are* some incredible eyes you have,
**[10:33] ---**
Veronica de Sade, the Queen's Fangs.
**[10:37] ---**
Mine is not a name that ought to
roll off your tongue so lightly, mortal.
**[10:47] ---**
Yikes.
**[10:48] ---**
First, I shall freeze you.
**[10:50] ---**
And after that? Let me think.
**[10:53] ---**
Vanitas!
**[10:56] ---**
Curses! That single attack
has rendered my body...
**[11:00] ---**
Now, before the eyes of
dear little Domi, who tried to stop me,
**[11:05] ---**
I shall smash you into tiny icy bits.
**[11:29] ---**
That's enough, Veronica.
**[11:32] ---**
The Queen's Fangs, of all people,
**[11:34] ---**
should not make such an
unbecoming display of power.
**[11:40] ---**
Lord Ruthven.
**[11:43] ---**
Ruthven? Where have
I heard that name before?
**[11:47] ---**
You have arrived quite late.
**[11:50] ---**
Indeed. My carriage was
attacked by assailants unknown.
**[11:54] ---**
And it took longer than
expected to find another.
**[11:58] ---**
Now then, what has transpired here?
**[12:02] ---**
That mortal man is of
the Clan of the Blue Moon.
**[12:07] ---**
His arm bears the clan's foul mark.
**[12:11] ---**
Several curse-bearers appeared
soon after he revealed it.
**[12:15] ---**
I believe he used *The Book of Vanitas*
to spread the Curse of the Blue Moon.
**[12:20] ---**
No!
**[12:23] ---**
Is what I just heard true?
**[12:27] ---**
Was it you who turned her into ashes?
**[12:35] ---**
That's right. It was I who slew the girl.
**[12:51] ---**
No!
**[12:52] ---**
Don't you lay a finger on him!
**[12:56] ---**
I don't know who you are,
but you better listen!
**[13:00] ---**
I was in the middle of speaking with him.
**[13:04] ---**
Then you people barged in!
**[13:06] ---**
Who do you think you are?!
**[13:08] ---**
Don't draw your own conclusions
when you haven't a clue!
**[13:11] ---**
I will not let you pin the blame on him!
**[13:21] ---**
Wait a minute.
**[13:24] ---**
Did I do the same?
**[13:33] ---**
My apologies. It is as you say, young man.
**[13:37] ---**
It was I who lacked for manners.
**[13:41] ---**
I am Ruthven.
**[13:43] ---**
I serve Her Majesty, the Queen,
as a member of the Senate.
**[13:48] ---**
The Senate?
**[13:53] ---**
Lord Uncle!
**[13:54] ---**
Lucius. I'm delighted
to see you're unharmed.
**[13:57] ---**
It was I who was worried about you!
I feared something had happened.
**[14:01] ---**
Luca?
**[14:03] ---**
--Uncle?
**[14:04] ---**
--Steady there.
--Uncle?
**[14:08] ---**
Don't!
**[14:11] ---**
Have no fear. I merely
wish to melt the ice.
**[14:24] ---**
Lord Uncle, what will you do with them?
**[14:29] ---**
I shall take the two
of them under my wing.
**[14:34] ---**
And as you are no doubt aware,
**[14:36] ---**
all who dare do harm to guests
of mine know the peril it brings.
**[14:41] ---**
For such an act shall be deemed
as an attack upon my person.
**[14:56] ---**
Vanitas.
**[14:59] ---**
I owe you...
**[15:02] ---**
...an apology.
**[15:07] ---**
An apology? Whatever for?
**[15:12] ---**
Teacher?
**[15:17] ---**
I tried to force my hopes
and ideals upon him.
**[15:25] ---**
He never claimed anything
other than what he said,
**[15:31] ---**
but my expectations grew of my own accord,
leading to feelings of betrayal.
**[15:37] ---**
I am so callow, Teacher.
**[15:41] ---**
And?
**[15:43] ---**
He did not live up to your hopes,
so you couldn't stand being around him?
**[15:51] ---**
Mon Chaton.
**[15:53] ---**
When I told you to assess the
true nature of *The Book of Vanitas*,
**[15:59] ---**
it was not to reveal whether
it was a threat to us.
**[16:04] ---**
Huh?
**[16:10] ---**
I wish for you to meet those
whose paths cross the book.
**[16:15] ---**
You must experience their stories.
**[16:19] ---**
Upon doing so, how shall you
characterize the book on your own terms?
**[16:26] ---**
*That* is what I wish to know.
**[17:21] ---**
You really do like heights.
**[17:26] ---**
Can I ask what happened after that?
**[17:29] ---**
Nothing that interesting.
**[17:32] ---**
Lord Ruthven diffused the situation
and dispersed the crowd.
**[17:37] ---**
We're now ostensibly
His Lordship's "guests."
**[17:41] ---**
So that was him in the room I was in?
**[17:44] ---**
Yes.
**[17:50] ---**
Hey.
**[17:52] ---**
What's the matter?
**[17:53] ---**
What do you mean?
**[17:54] ---**
You're mad about something.
**[17:56] ---**
Huh?
**[17:57] ---**
If not, then you're pouting.
**[17:58] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[18:04] ---**
I know you wish to say something to me.
**[18:07] ---**
Nope.
**[18:08] ---**
Well, I do.
**[18:10] ---**
You said what you are doing
is an act of vengeance.
**[18:15] ---**
And?
**[18:16] ---**
What did you mean by that?
I wish to know--
**[18:19] ---**
That was a lie.
**[18:21] ---**
It was?
**[18:22] ---**
That's right.
**[18:23] ---**
I thought no vampire would pay me
heed unless I said something like that.
**[18:29] ---**
You fell for it, didn't you? Idiot!
**[18:32] ---**
You're lying.
**[18:34] ---**
You're lying about saying you lied.
**[18:37] ---**
Whether you seek this or not,
**[18:41] ---**
I *will* save you vampires!
**[18:44] ---**
That very deed
**[18:45] ---**
will be my ultimate act of
vengeance against Vanitas!
**[18:51] ---**
When you said that, I finally understood.
**[18:54] ---**
That's why you have that look at times.
**[18:57] ---**
It's as if you have given up on something.
**[19:08] ---**
Stop trying to paint me
with your silly assumptions.
**[19:11] ---**
Enough, you wet blanket!
**[19:14] ---**
I can't deal with
simple-minded fools like you!
**[19:17] ---**
I want nothing further to do with you!
**[19:20] ---**
So you had better--
**[19:22] ---**
What?
**[19:23] ---**
I don't even know
why I'm listening to you.
**[19:29] ---**
Perhaps you have got the wrong idea,
but I really don't like you.
**[19:35] ---**
As such, I have no intention
of following your orders
**[19:38] ---**
or assisting you in any way.
**[19:41] ---**
And I'm saying you don't need to!
**[20:00] ---**
Just when I thought he was angry,
he starts sulking.
**[20:06] ---**
How interesting.
**[20:08] ---**
I really don't understand
what he is thinking.
**[20:12] ---**
He speaks of salvation.
**[20:15] ---**
What does that really mean?
**[20:19] ---**
I must know.
**[20:21] ---**
I must.
**[20:25] ---**
However, I do find you intriguing, human.
**[20:31] ---**
I wish to see your labors
and witness their outcome.
**[20:45] ---**
And should you refuse me,
**[20:48] ---**
I shall still do as I please,
your will notwithstanding.
**[20:56] ---**
I've decided to remain
by your side, Vanitas.
**[21:10] ---**
I couldn't care less.
**[21:18] ---**
The color of the rising sun that morning
remains quite vivid in my mind.
**[21:24] ---**
But memories of the beginning
readily evoke memories of the end.
**[21:32] ---**
Memories of what slipped from my grasp.
**[21:36] ---**
The people I could not protect.
**[21:40] ---**
The day I could not grab your hand.
**[21:43] ---**
These are my regrets.
**[21:54] ---**
Oh, and...
**[21:55] ---**
Vanitas, I'm sorry.
**[21:58] ---**
For what?
**[21:59] ---**
Nothing. I simply wished to say that.

**[00:07] ---**
I am so callow.
**[00:11] ---**
There is so much I do not know.
**[00:16] ---**
For instance...
**[00:21] ---**
Vanitas, I wanted to ask you something.
**[00:26] ---**
Well, out with it.
**[00:29] ---**
What in the devil is love?
**[00:38] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"

pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[00:52] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[00:56] ---**

*When sky and void meet, look back

**[02:04] ---**
T-Tarte Tatin!
**[02:10] ---**
I didn't think he'd get *this* excited.
**[02:13] ---**
Noé has always been
a sucker for Tarte Tatin.
**[02:17] ---**
Thank you for letting me know, Dominique.
**[02:21] ---**
It's an honor to be of service.
**[02:23] ---**
Tarte Tatin!
**[02:28] ---**
Um, may I dig in?
**[02:30] ---**
Of course.
**[02:34] ---**
It's so good!
**[02:43] ---**
My teacher often brought Tarte Tatin home
as a gift from trips to the human world.
**[02:49] ---**
But I never imagined
I'd have it in Altus Paris!
**[02:53] ---**
They say a vampire who
fancied it as much as you
**[02:57] ---**
brought the recipe back
from the human world.
**[03:00] ---**
Don't tell me that said
vampire was my lord uncle.
**[03:09] ---**
Thank you for taking me to such
a magnificent restaurant, Luca.
**[03:14] ---**
No need to thank me.
You came all this way to visit.
**[03:18] ---**
Apologies for my uncle's absence.
**[03:20] ---**
It's quite all right. I'm glad we'll have
plenty of time for a meeting tomorrow.
**[03:26] ---**
I have lots of questions about
what went on after the ball.
**[03:32] ---**
Noé.
**[03:34] ---**
I'm really grateful for last night.
**[03:37] ---**
Thanks to you, my life and the lives
of many other vampires were saved.
**[03:48] ---**
No, I didn't do anything.
**[03:52] ---**
Too sweet!
**[03:55] ---**
I must thank you as well, Noé.
**[03:59] ---**
You protected Master Luca in my absence.
**[04:03] ---**
I am truly grateful.
**[04:08] ---**
Actually...
**[04:13] ---**
You have it all wrong.
**[04:14] ---**
It was not I who ended the turmoil.
It was Vanitas's power.
**[04:23] ---**
Of course, I'm aware of that.
**[04:25] ---**
No curse-bearers had to be beheaded,
and that is without a doubt thanks to him.
**[04:33] ---**
However, Vanitas!
**[04:35] ---**
Before I convey my gratitude, I want
you to apologize for the other day!
**[04:40] ---**
Apologize? Whatever for?
**[04:42] ---**
The day we first met...
you know... with Jeanne!
**[04:46] ---**
Umm...
**[04:48] ---**
You forced yourself on her!
**[04:50] ---**
Oh, you mean the kiss?
**[04:55] ---**
Th-That's right.
**[04:57] ---**
You can start by apologizing for that.
**[05:00] ---**
My bad.
**[05:01] ---**
No, not like that!
**[05:03] ---**
You're a real pain in the keister.
**[05:06] ---**
To whom am I apologizing, anyway?
**[05:09] ---**
To Jeanne or to you?
**[05:12] ---**
T-To Jeanne, of course.
**[05:15] ---**
I see. In that case,
there is no need to apologize.
**[05:20] ---**
Jeanne and I are in love with each other.
**[05:23] ---**
Keep your fantasies to yourself.
**[05:27] ---**
I'm not fantasizing.
**[05:30] ---**
See? Feast your eyes.
**[05:33] ---**
Jeanne and I already share
that sort of relationship.
**[05:41] ---**
He's marked!
**[05:42] ---**
Th-That's Jeanne's?
**[05:44] ---**
That's right. It is the mark
left when vampires imbue
**[05:47] ---**
the victims of their bloodlust
with some of their power.
**[05:52] ---**
He lies! I don't remember
doing any such thing!
**[05:55] ---**
Now, now, you must at least
recognize your own mark.
**[05:59] ---**
Then again, you *were* quite rough.
**[06:03] ---**
It's no surprise your memory is spotty.
**[06:07] ---**
It was like you were in a trance
the way you greedily fed.
**[06:13] ---**
Was my blood really so delicious?
**[06:16] ---**
So much so that you left
this mark upon me?
**[06:21] ---**
Jeanne, did you really suck his blood?
**[06:25] ---**
Master Luca!
**[06:26] ---**
Is this the sort of man you like?!
**[06:29] ---**
Huh? Where did that come from?
**[06:31] ---**
It's true, isn't it?!
**[06:33] ---**
How could you leave your mark on
a member of the Blue Moon Clan?!
**[06:38] ---**
It's as if you're claiming
him as your own!
**[06:41] ---**
Th-That's...!
**[06:44] ---**
That's...
**[06:50] ---**
Sorry! Sorry! It seems
I took the jest too far.
**[06:53] ---**
What?
**[06:55] ---**
Luca, this certainly is Jeanne's mark,
but she did not wish to leave it.
**[07:03] ---**
Are you saying you forced her?
**[07:06] ---**
Listen. Calm down. You're scaring me.
**[07:09] ---**
She wasn't in her right mind at the time.
**[07:12] ---**
You all heard them.
**[07:15] ---**
The curse bearer's voices.
**[07:21] ---**
Like the other vampires,
**[07:23] ---**
it was a momentary lapse
of control that made her attack me.
**[07:28] ---**
Is that true, Jeanne?
**[07:32] ---**
Yes, Master Luca.
**[07:34] ---**
Forgive me for not reporting
the matter to you.
**[07:39] ---**
I see! So that's what happened!
**[07:42] ---**
What a relief!
**[07:43] ---**
That explains it.
**[07:44] ---**
Unless you had lost control,
**[07:46] ---**
you would never leave your mark on a
terribly rude, selfish man such as him!
**[07:52] ---**
Why, Luca, I'm getting a distinct
feeling you don't like me.
**[07:58] ---**
I am so glad you're all right, Jeanne.
**[08:06] ---**
Forgive me, Master Luca!
I'll bring him back when I'm done!
**[08:10] ---**
Jeanne?!
**[08:31] ---**
Noé?
**[08:32] ---**
I'll go after them!
**[08:36] ---**
Noé?!
**[08:37] ---**
Why is everyone leaving
through the window?
**[08:45] ---**
Why did you tell such a lie?
**[08:47] ---**
What? Should I have told the truth?
**[08:51] ---**
From what I could tell, it didn't
seem like you wanted Luca to know
**[08:56] ---**
you were stricken with
the urge to suck blood.
**[08:59] ---**
So I made something up.
**[09:05] ---**
I've asked you before, Jeanne.
**[09:07] ---**
Are you a curse-bearer?
**[09:12] ---**
You've no intention of saying, eh?
**[09:16] ---**
It doesn't always happen like that.
**[09:21] ---**
I can suppress my thirst for blood
as long as I take my medicine.
**[09:25] ---**
But its effect wore off quickly that day.
**[09:30] ---**
I never heard of such a medicine.
How interesting.
**[09:36] ---**
Listen, human.
**[09:38] ---**
Do not speak a word of this to anyone.
**[09:41] ---**
I beg you.
**[09:43] ---**
Please. Do not speak of this!
**[09:56] ---**
Have no fear, Jeanne.
**[09:58] ---**
I'm not the kind of man who spills
the secrets of the woman I love.
**[10:05] ---**
But I have two conditions.
**[10:09] ---**
Conditions?
**[10:10] ---**
That's right.
**[10:12] ---**
I won't tell anyone your secret.
**[10:15] ---**
In exchange...
**[10:21] ---**
You must not suck the
blood of anyone but me.
**[10:24] ---**
What?!
**[10:31] ---**
M-Must you set such a condition?!
**[10:34] ---**
It's really quite simple.
**[10:37] ---**
Having you suck my blood
felt truly divine.
**[10:42] ---**
Wait! What? What?!
**[10:44] ---**
Having my blood sucked never
rocked me to the core till that day.
**[10:49] ---**
It was truly incredible.
**[10:51] ---**
The pleasurable effect
of vampire bites results
**[10:54] ---**
from the aphrodisiac-like
substance injected by their fangs.
**[10:57] ---**
But its efficacy may differ
by the vampire's power
**[11:00] ---**
and compatibility with the victim.
**[11:02] ---**
Vampires inject this
substance to keep them still
**[11:05] ---**
while sucking their blood.
**[11:08] ---**
Some vampire bites cause sleep, paralysis,
or other non-pleasurable effects.
**[11:12] ---**
But much of that is
still a mystery, and I--
**[11:14] ---**
Too much information!
**[11:16] ---**
What I'm saying is we have
superb physical chemistry.
**[11:21] ---**
You no good...! Stop saying things
that can be taken out of context!
**[11:28] ---**
This is marvelous! Being with you
sets my heart aflutter!
**[11:36] ---**
If you ever thirst for blood,
just say the word.
**[11:39] ---**
I'll give you all you want.
**[11:45] ---**
No. I mustn't think about it.
**[11:54] ---**
His blood tasted so very sweet.
**[12:00] ---**
You said...
**[12:02] ---**
Hm?
**[12:03] ---**
You said there were two conditions.
What is the second one?
**[12:07] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[12:11] ---**
From now on, I want you to say my
name rather than calling me "human."
**[12:23] ---**
Vanitas.
**[13:03] ---**
Noé?
**[13:05] ---**
They're back.
**[13:07] ---**
Yes, I saw them.
**[13:18] ---**
What's the matter, Mon Chéri?
**[13:20] ---**
You look as if you'll cry.
**[13:24] ---**
Domi, I...
**[13:27] ---**
Since hearing that Jeanne
sucked Vanitas's blood,
**[13:30] ---**
I've had an agonizing feeling in my chest.
**[13:38] ---**
I thought about why that is.
**[13:43] ---**
And this is what I found.
**[13:48] ---**
I was...
**[13:53] ---**
I was vexed that Jeanne got to him first!
**[13:57] ---**
What?
**[13:58] ---**
I always thought Vanitas's
blood smelled really good.
**[14:03] ---**
Had I known this would happen,
I'd have had him give me a taste!
**[14:07] ---**
It's such fine blood, Jeanne
marked him to have it all to herself!
**[14:12] ---**
Can you imagine how
scrumptious it must be?!
**[14:18] ---**
Seriously? You really are a handful.
**[14:21] ---**
Domi?!
**[14:25] ---**
D-Domi! What are you...?
**[14:26] ---**
Hush!
**[14:27] ---**
Men like you should be
gnawed on by women like me!
**[14:30] ---**
Stop. That tickles my ear!
**[14:38] ---**
You've no idea how I feel.
**[15:16] ---**
I already knew.
**[15:18] ---**
Your blood is delectable.
**[15:31] ---**
Noé, you are such a fool.
**[15:34] ---**
Huh?
**[15:48] ---**
This place really livens up after sundown.
**[16:03] ---**
--Shall we--
--Jeanne!
**[16:05] ---**
Let's dance!
**[16:06] ---**
Huh?
**[16:09] ---**
Nothing wrong with
tormenting him a little.
**[16:12] ---**
Um, Mademoiselle Dominique?
**[16:14] ---**
Hm?
**[16:15] ---**
You must know of me.
**[16:18] ---**
Should you be seen
dancing with a bourreau,
**[16:22] ---**
it shall do harm to your good name.
**[16:26] ---**
Good grief, a goody-two-shoes.
**[16:28] ---**
What?
**[16:31] ---**
"Acts of pleasure come first and foremost
before all of one's other passions."
**[16:37] ---**
My father's words.
**[16:41] ---**
So I enjoy beautiful flowers
blooming before my eyes.
**[16:45] ---**
I'm not one to put off such pleasure
**[16:48] ---**
for some future passion of mine.
**[17:06] ---**
You don't want to dance with Jeanne?
**[17:09] ---**
I'm not a very good dancer.
**[17:12] ---**
It would be a pity if
I ended up stepping on her foot.
**[17:18] ---**
Then shall I teach you?
**[17:26] ---**
All right.
**[17:28] ---**
I accept.
**[17:33] ---**
Master Luca.
**[17:35] ---**
Are you all right?
**[17:39] ---**
She's so lucky.
**[17:42] ---**
I can't wait to grow up.
**[17:48] ---**
Huh? So you *can* dance.
**[17:51] ---**
I never said I couldn't.
**[17:58] ---**
Vanitas, I wanted to ask you something.
**[18:03] ---**
Well, out with it.
**[18:08] ---**
What in the devil is love?
**[18:14] ---**
That ham-fisted invitation to
dance was due to a question?!
**[18:16] ---**
I knew you had something on your mind!
**[18:20] ---**
That's your question?
**[18:27] ---**
I have no idea.
**[18:31] ---**
But when I see Jeanne,
**[18:33] ---**
my heart quickens,
and I can't stop trembling.
**[18:42] ---**
For me, at least, I've defined
that feeling as love.
**[18:47] ---**
It's more interesting that way.
**[18:50] ---**
A racing heart and a trembling body...
**[18:54] ---**
It sounds like a nasty cold.
**[18:57] ---**
You're right. It *is* like catching a cold.
**[19:17] ---**
Vanitas, what is it you like about Jeanne?
**[19:23] ---**
She's strong and beautiful.
**[19:26] ---**
She's awkward and delicate.
**[19:29] ---**
She has an ample bosom
and is a joy to tease.
**[19:33] ---**
And what else? Let's see...
**[19:37] ---**
It doesn't seem like she'll ever love me.
**[19:43] ---**
I don't understand.
**[19:45] ---**
When you love someone,
don't you want them to love you back?
**[19:51] ---**
That is not what I seek.
**[19:54] ---**
Jeanne need not love me,
even though I love her.
**[20:03] ---**
I have zero interest in the sort
of person who would love me.
**[20:12] ---**
There is still much I do not understand.
**[20:21] ---**
Why?
**[20:23] ---**
Why has my heart been sent aflutter?
**[20:28] ---**
My ignorance abounds.
**[20:32] ---**
Oh, forgive me.
**[20:33] ---**
You can do better than, "Oh, forgive me"!
**[20:36] ---**
It wasn't on purpose.
**[20:39] ---**
At any rate,
**[20:41] ---**
you're visiting Lord Ruthven
though you know nothing about him.
**[20:44] ---**
You truly are...
**[20:46] ---**
I know he is a member of the Senate.
**[20:49] ---**
He's far more than that!
**[20:51] ---**
Lord Ruthven is a moderate who helped end
the war between vampires and humans.
**[20:56] ---**
He's a peacemaker.
**[20:58] ---**
To this day, there are many
who praise him as a hero.
**[21:02] ---**
How marvelous.
**[21:04] ---**
So then you know nothing
about Master Lucius, either?
**[21:08] ---**
--Huh?
**[21:09] ---**
--Never mind.
--Huh?
**[21:10] ---**
He'll wish to tell you himself, no doubt.
**[21:15] ---**
Perhaps I should go, too.
**[21:17] ---**
No, Domi. You received an urgent
summons from the House of de Sade.
**[21:23] ---**
I had good intentions
when I brought you to Altus,
**[21:28] ---**
but I ended up dragging
you into a big mess.
**[21:31] ---**
Why are you apologizing?
**[21:36] ---**
Domi, you always show your concern for me.
**[21:40] ---**
It makes me happy to know that.
**[21:46] ---**
All right.
**[21:48] ---**
May we meet again, Mon Chéri.
**[22:08] ---**
"Love"
**[23:42] ---**

**[00:08] ---**
Teacher, this is amazing.
**[00:11] ---**
We are now in Castle Carbunculus.
**[00:15] ---**
Her Majesty The Queen
is somewhere within these walls!
**[00:25] ---**
I call this my office,
but it's rather like my hobby room.
**[00:30] ---**
Make yourselves at home.
**[00:34] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[00:36] ---**
No, forgive me.
**[00:38] ---**
This morning, Domi couldn't
believe I knew nothing about you.
**[00:43] ---**
Oh, you need not worry about that.
**[00:46] ---**
It makes sense, considering you
are the Shapeless One's child.
**[00:51] ---**
And truth be told,
**[00:54] ---**
your teacher genuinely loathes me.
**[00:58] ---**
He even disliked my name passing his lips.
**[01:02] ---**
I have no doubt he'd eradicate all traces
of my name to keep it from your eyes.
**[01:07] ---**
That... sounds like something he might do.
**[01:12] ---**
Yes, it does, doesn't it?
**[01:17] ---**
That machine interests you?
**[01:20] ---**
It's a difference engine
given to me by Marquis Machina.
**[01:24] ---**
And that is a lamp powered by astermite.
**[01:27] ---**
--Over there is--
**[01:27] ---**
--Lord Ruthven.
--Over there is--
**[01:29] ---**
Sorry to interrupt the fun,
**[01:32] ---**
but can we cut to the chase?
**[01:40] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[01:49] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[01:54] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[01:58] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:03] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:08] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:16] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[02:26] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[02:33] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[02:38] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[02:43] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[02:47] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[02:56] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[03:05] ---**
Noé, Vanitas.
**[03:07] ---**
First, I would like to
thank you for your heroic actions.
**[03:11] ---**
Lucius has told me everything.
**[03:14] ---**
Thanks to you, our brethren's casualties
at the ball were kept to a minimum.
**[03:20] ---**
What are your thoughts
on the attack that day?
**[03:24] ---**
It was Charlatan.
**[03:26] ---**
I'd thought they were hallucinations
that only curse-bearers could see.
**[03:32] ---**
But now, I believe that attack
was an attempt on Lucius's life.
**[03:40] ---**
I agree.
**[03:43] ---**
The chaos caused by the curse-bearers
**[03:47] ---**
was likely an attempt to
distract the Queen's Fangs.
**[03:49] ---**
If that black shadow, Naenia,
is the one that steals true names,
**[03:54] ---**
it's no surprise there were
a number of curse-bearers there.
**[03:58] ---**
Um, by Lucius, you mean Luca?
**[04:02] ---**
Why would they try to kill him?
**[04:04] ---**
What? You still don't get it?
**[04:08] ---**
The boy has rank and power
second only to the queen.
**[04:12] ---**
No doubt, there are countless nobles
who feel he's in their way.
**[04:16] ---**
Isn't that right, Luca?
**[04:18] ---**
Or should I say, Lucius,
Grand Duke Oriflamme.
**[04:23] ---**
Grand duke? Really?!
**[04:25] ---**
The grand duke is
Her Majesty's close advisor.
**[04:29] ---**
That's right.
**[04:29] ---**
That is amazing!
**[04:32] ---**
I would not call it amazing.
**[04:35] ---**
Lord Uncle, who is also my guardian,
handles all of my duties as grand duke.
**[04:40] ---**
In any case, my succession to
the office hasn't been made official.
**[04:47] ---**
My blood ran cold
when I heard you ventured
**[04:51] ---**
into the mortal world without leave.
**[04:53] ---**
You must be more conscious
of your own position.
**[04:58] ---**
Yes, Lord Uncle.
**[05:00] ---**
Come to think of it, Luca,
**[05:02] ---**
weren't you seeking *The Book of Vanitas*
to save your brother?
**[05:07] ---**
My big brother suffers dearly from
the Vampire of the Blue Moon's curse!
**[05:12] ---**
Where is he now?
**[05:16] ---**
Let us forget about that.
**[05:22] ---**
Huh?
**[05:23] ---**
I'm telling you not to mention
the boy's brother ever again.
**[05:33] ---**
Salvation takes many forms.
**[05:36] ---**
Freeing him from the curse is not
necessarily in his best interest.
**[05:44] ---**
But enough about that.
**[05:46] ---**
You're here to ask me
about curse-bearers, aren't you?
**[05:50] ---**
I, too, have many questions I would
ask you of the Blue Moon Clan.
**[05:56] ---**
Questions about the
Vampire of the Blue Moon,
**[05:59] ---**
*The Book of Vanitas*, and...
**[06:03] ---**
...about you yourself.
**[06:07] ---**
You're right.
**[06:10] ---**
We should devote this time
to more fruitful discussions.
**[06:15] ---**
Which is why I'd like to
start with my request.
**[06:20] ---**
What is it? Speak.
**[06:23] ---**
I thought you'd never ask.
**[06:25] ---**
Take me to your queen.
**[06:31] ---**
What?
**[06:32] ---**
Did you not hear me?
**[06:34] ---**
I'm telling you to take me to your queen.
**[06:38] ---**
To what purpose?
**[06:39] ---**
My purpose? It's simple.
**[06:42] ---**
I believe it is the queen
that gives rise to curse-bearers.
**[06:49] ---**
Don't spout such nonsense, human!
**[06:51] ---**
What's the big deal?
**[06:53] ---**
Just let me see her.
**[06:55] ---**
I merely wish to examine every nook
and cranny of Her Majesty's body.
**[06:59] ---**
Insolent fool!
**[07:00] ---**
Well, Ruthven? What say you?
**[07:02] ---**
It should be easy with
the grand duke's prerogative.
**[07:08] ---**
How long has it been since
the queen was seen in public?
**[07:12] ---**
Why has she become a hermit?
**[07:16] ---**
Vanitas.
**[07:18] ---**
--I ask you...
**[07:19] ---**
--Uncle?
--I ask you...
**[07:20] ---**
--Uncle?
--...does your queen yet live?
**[07:21] ---**
--...does your queen yet live?
**[07:44] ---**
Lord Uncle?
**[07:45] ---**
Please, stop.
**[07:47] ---**
Lord Uncle!
**[07:48] ---**
Leave this place at once, human.
**[07:52] ---**
Every word you have spoken maligns
the good name of our queen!
**[07:58] ---**
I forbid you from ever
setting foot in this castle again!
**[08:04] ---**
So they booted us back across the barrier.
**[08:06] ---**
It's been about a week since
we got back to the human world.
**[08:11] ---**
Every bone in my body aches,
so I've been sleeping it off.
**[08:15] ---**
They sent Murr back later.
**[08:18] ---**
That's all we have to report!
**[08:22] ---**
Blasted fools!
**[08:25] ---**
You dare show such
insolence toward the queen?!
**[08:28] ---**
--Count Orlok!
**[08:29] ---**
--Please calm yourself!
--Count Orlok!
**[08:30] ---**
Wanna fight?
**[08:31] ---**
--I'll rip you to shreds!
--Think you can take me?
**[08:33] ---**
--It worked out fine.
--I'll rip you to shreds!
--Think you can take me?
**[08:34] ---**
I got the information that I most wanted.
**[08:45] ---**
He played us for fools.
**[08:48] ---**
That human wasn't interested in me.
**[08:51] ---**
It was you, Lucius.
**[08:53] ---**
Most vampires fly into a blind rage
when Her Majesty is insulted.
**[08:59] ---**
You should have, too.
**[09:01] ---**
But you...
**[09:08] ---**
You showed a moment of dismay.
**[09:10] ---**
That was the same as confirming his words.
**[09:19] ---**
Your Majesty...
**[09:22] ---**
What am I to do?
**[09:27] ---**
So, until the dust settles,
**[09:29] ---**
I will keep curing curse-bearers
as I've been doing.
**[09:33] ---**
But I need information--
**[09:34] ---**
Impudent, human!
**[09:36] ---**
Master Orlok has no time for you!
**[09:40] ---**
Another incident?
**[09:43] ---**
"Vampires disappear."
**[09:45] ---**
"Three in one week." That's a lot.
**[09:48] ---**
Hands off the files!
**[09:49] ---**
Get the hell out!
**[09:54] ---**
Hey, quack.
**[09:56] ---**
Oh, Dante, perfect timing.
**[10:01] ---**
Wait. What happened?
**[10:03] ---**
Leave it!
**[10:05] ---**
I've got some new info on curse-bearers.
**[10:08] ---**
I'll do you a solid and sell it to you!
**[10:11] ---**
It was yesterday
**[10:13] ---**
that we finally located this curse-bearer
who slipped into Paris not long ago.
**[10:18] ---**
That's when...
**[10:22] ---**
She was abducted right before our eyes.
**[10:27] ---**
But like an idiot, Riche tried to stop it.
**[10:29] ---**
I got dragged in and beat up, too.
**[10:32] ---**
I never asked you to save me.
**[10:34] ---**
What did you say, hag?
**[10:36] ---**
Shut it, fatty!
**[10:37] ---**
--Hag!
**[10:38] ---**
--Fatty!
--Hag!
**[10:38] ---**
--Fatty!
--Hag!
--All right, children, no need to fight.
**[10:41] ---**
--Butt out!
**[10:41] ---**
--Fatty!
--Butt out!
**[10:42] ---**
--Fatty!
--Johann, you got pretty beat up, too!
**[10:42] ---**
--What is your problem?!
--Johann, you got pretty beat up, too!
**[10:45] ---**
When I was all alone,
**[10:47] ---**
I was mistaken for a vampire
and nearly abducted.
**[10:51] ---**
But they fled the moment
they realized I was a dham.
**[10:55] ---**
That was so rude.
**[10:57] ---**
A dham?
**[10:58] ---**
Mixed race. You know,
half-vampire, half-human?
**[11:01] ---**
All three of us are.
**[11:05] ---**
You've never seen a dhampir before?
**[11:08] ---**
No.
**[11:09] ---**
Hey, quack.
**[11:11] ---**
A little trophy I tore off
the abductor's coat.
**[11:14] ---**
A sword and six wings?
**[11:22] ---**
Vani...
**[11:23] ---**
I know who abducted the vampires
and who old-man Orlok's after.
**[11:27] ---**
It's the Church's anti-vampire unit,
the Chasseurs.
**[11:32] ---**
Captain, have you heard?
**[11:34] ---**
It's about that human.
**[11:36] ---**
Of course, I have.
**[11:38] ---**
Vanitas, was it?
**[11:40] ---**
Not only was he made
minion of the Blue Moon Clan,
**[11:43] ---**
but they say vampires are flocking to
his side in an attempt to use his power.
**[11:49] ---**
What a...
**[11:51] ---**
What a...!
**[11:52] ---**
Poor, pitiful child!
**[11:57] ---**
We must do whatever it takes to
save him in the name of the Lord!
**[12:12] ---**
The Catacombs of Paris.
**[12:14] ---**
Once an old stone quarry, they were
later converted into a vast ossuary.
**[12:22] ---**
"Halt. The Empire of the Dead lies ahead."
**[12:27] ---**
I'm shocked.
**[12:28] ---**
I knew there was an ossuary beneath Paris,
**[12:32] ---**
but now it's a tourist attraction?
**[12:36] ---**
How can I put it?
**[12:37] ---**
It's such a curious place.
**[12:39] ---**
It is, but the ossuary
is only a teeny part
**[12:43] ---**
of the tunnel network beneath Paris.
**[12:49] ---**
Vanitas.
**[12:50] ---**
Dante saw the Chasseurs heading down here,
**[12:53] ---**
but do you really think we'll
find them in this labyrinth?
**[12:57] ---**
Beats me.
**[12:58] ---**
But I often heard that
the Chasseurs wiped out
**[13:01] ---**
the vampires infesting
the tunnels under wartime Paris
**[13:04] ---**
and then established a base down here,
or so the story goes.
**[13:09] ---**
Based on that, Dante must've
come down here to find a way there.
**[13:14] ---**
Wouldn't it be better to
seek help from Count Orlok
**[13:17] ---**
in investigating the disappearances?
**[13:20] ---**
Oh, I think not. That would be impossible.
**[13:23] ---**
The bad blood between the vampires
and Chasseurs still runs deep.
**[13:28] ---**
One false move and you guessed it.
**[13:31] ---**
Another war could break out.
**[13:34] ---**
In short, the count
must watch his every step.
**[13:38] ---**
Precisely.
**[13:41] ---**
Like I said, Dante, I wish you
wouldn't make matters worse.
**[13:46] ---**
Stop yapping!
**[13:46] ---**
I won't rest till I pay 'em back
for that beat down!
**[13:50] ---**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[13:51] ---**
Stop that!
**[13:54] ---**
The devil take them!
**[13:55] ---**
Where'd those robed bastards get to?!
**[13:58] ---**
Enough already.
**[13:59] ---**
That tourist trap can't
possibly provide any clues.
**[14:02] ---**
It was beyond stupid to look
for their base through the catacombs.
**[14:06] ---**
What?!
**[14:07] ---**
Unexpected clues sometimes turn up
where you least expect them!
**[14:11] ---**
--Idiot, idiot, idiot!
**[14:11] ---**
--Baldy, baldy, baldy!
--Idiot, idiot, idiot!
**[14:15] ---**
What's this? Worried
about Vanitas, are we?
**[14:18] ---**
I suppose so.
**[14:20] ---**
He's acting perfectly normal.
**[14:23] ---**
So I wonder.
**[14:25] ---**
Why would he be acting so?
**[15:08] ---**
What took so long?
**[15:10] ---**
I almost finished this book.
**[15:13] ---**
I don't know where
we're going, but fear not.
**[15:17] ---**
I took a respectable catnap.
**[15:19] ---**
Couldn't care less!
**[15:22] ---**
Off to investigate
the disappearances, I take it?
**[15:25] ---**
None of your business.
**[15:27] ---**
So you really do think
the Chasseurs are behind this?
**[15:30] ---**
Stop following me.
**[15:32] ---**
I'm not following you.
**[15:37] ---**
I'm joining you.
**[15:43] ---**
Suit yourself.
**[15:45] ---**
Yes, I'll do that.
**[15:54] ---**
Noé, this way.
**[16:00] ---**
Wait. Vanitas!
**[16:03] ---**
Hey! What are you doing there!
**[16:06] ---**
Perfect timing.
**[16:13] ---**
All right! These disguises
should get us in.
**[16:16] ---**
Shall we?
**[16:21] ---**
Um... It should be around here.
**[16:31] ---**
Where does that lead?
**[16:33] ---**
The catacombs.
**[16:34] ---**
The catacombs?
**[16:35] ---**
Not the same ones from earlier today.
**[16:38] ---**
We're going where only
those in the know can travel.
**[16:47] ---**
The Chasseurs' secret lair.
**[16:55] ---**
How do you know about this place?
**[16:59] ---**
It's as if you've been here before.
**[17:02] ---**
Never a hesitant step.
**[17:08] ---**
Vanitas!
**[17:09] ---**
Please tell me.
You already know, don't you?
**[17:13] ---**
Who really abducted those vampires?
**[17:18] ---**
Chasseurs who aren't
really Chasseurs at all.
**[17:25] ---**
What does that mean?
**[17:28] ---**
Listen, Noé.
**[17:29] ---**
If we encounter Chasseurs,
and it comes to a fight,
**[17:32] ---**
they will go straight for your eyes.
**[17:36] ---**
Underestimate human adversaries,
and you'll end up dead.
**[17:52] ---**
This place looks different from
the catacombs we saw earlier today.
**[17:56] ---**
Are these the remains of those
who were somehow special?
**[18:00] ---**
No. This is--
**[18:01] ---**
All the bones you see here
are from vampires!
**[18:08] ---**
Look at this one. It still has its fangs.
**[18:13] ---**
Vestiges of formulaic alteration even
in death are a sign that this was
**[18:17] ---**
a high-ranking vampire.
**[18:20] ---**
All the bones in this chamber
**[18:21] ---**
are from vampires our predecessors
slew in the underground labyrinth.
**[18:26] ---**
The slayer's name is
carved above each one.
**[18:29] ---**
They vied to behead the most vampires
and be deemed the mightiest.
**[18:35] ---**
Um, and you are?
**[18:38] ---**
Who am I?
**[18:39] ---**
My name is Roland Fortis.
**[18:42] ---**
I am the Sixth Paladin,
graced with the Jasper Gem.
**[18:46] ---**
A paladin?
**[18:47] ---**
You're one of the twelve captains
of the Chasseurs!
**[18:51] ---**
Stop. You're making me blush.
**[18:53] ---**
I didn't make captain until recently.
**[18:56] ---**
My posting to this
district was recent, too.
**[18:59] ---**
I was on a patrol-slash-walk
to drill the map into my head.
**[19:05] ---**
So, who are you?
**[19:07] ---**
What are you doing here at such an hour?
**[19:10] ---**
We beg your forgiveness!
**[19:12] ---**
I am Vincent, and this is Gilbert.
**[19:15] ---**
We discovered a secret
passage in the church.
**[19:19] ---**
We should have reported it at once,
but we ventured in to investigate.
**[19:24] ---**
We ended up getting
lost for several hours.
**[19:27] ---**
So you're lost?
**[19:29] ---**
Same as me.
**[19:31] ---**
Huh?
**[19:32] ---**
H-Hold on. Sir Roland,
are you saying that you're lost?
**[19:37] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[19:38] ---**
I'm at a total loss.
I can't find my way back.
**[19:43] ---**
But the Lord's hand is in all things.
**[19:47] ---**
How else could I have come
across you after losing my way?
**[19:54] ---**
Now, follow me!
**[19:56] ---**
Have no fear.
**[19:58] ---**
My trusty subordinates are
bound to be searching for me.
**[20:07] ---**
Noé, it could get ugly if he takes
us back to the Chasseurs' guard post.
**[20:12] ---**
Is there some way to silence him?
**[20:14] ---**
No. At least none that I can see.
**[20:27] ---**
All this was beneath our feet?
**[20:29] ---**
What's this?
**[20:32] ---**
Vincent, Vincent!
**[20:33] ---**
Could you come here a moment?
**[20:35] ---**
Sir?
**[20:36] ---**
This writing on the wall...
**[20:38] ---**
Writing?
**[20:42] ---**
Aw, hell!
**[20:46] ---**
Noé, close your eyes!
**[20:51] ---**
A flash grenade?
**[20:56] ---**
What is this? My vision is...
**[21:04] ---**
I thought so. You're a vampire.
**[21:09] ---**
Do you suffer?
**[21:10] ---**
That light you just beheld has the
power to render your eyes useless.
**[21:20] ---**
The real world and the
formulaic world are blurring together.
**[21:27] ---**
Noé!
**[21:31] ---**
That clothing does not belong to you.
**[21:34] ---**
Did you slay those you stole it from?
**[21:39] ---**
N-No...
**[21:41] ---**
I don't know why you're here.
**[21:44] ---**
But no vampire who sets foot
in here leaves this place alive.
**[21:50] ---**
We are the Chasseurs.
**[21:53] ---**
Those who corrupt the
divine law of God's creation,
**[21:57] ---**
the crimson-eyed heretics, are our prey!
**[22:00] ---**
We are the Lord's eternal blade!
**[22:03] ---**
Amen!

**[00:08] ---**
My vision...
**[00:10] ---**
It's all one big blur.
**[00:12] ---**
I feel... sick.
**[00:18] ---**
Noé, fall back!
Don't try to fight like that!
**[00:22] ---**
Huh? There is no way I'm leaving you here.
**[00:26] ---**
You're in no shape to worry about me!
**[00:29] ---**
You didn't heed my warning, you fool!
**[00:31] ---**
Every time you open your mouth,
it's impossible to follow.
**[00:35] ---**
It's always the same
old story with you, Vanitas!
**[00:38] ---**
One moment. What did you just say?
**[00:45] ---**
Vanitas?
**[00:47] ---**
Black hair and blue eyes.
**[00:51] ---**
Dear Vanitas?
**[00:53] ---**
What?
**[00:54] ---**
You're the one they call Vanitas?!
**[00:57] ---**
What the--?! Yes, it's me!
**[01:02] ---**
Dear God!
**[01:03] ---**
O Lord, I give thanks
for Thy guiding hand!
**[01:08] ---**
To think we'd meet so soon!
**[01:12] ---**
So the rumors about you
being used by vampires were true!
**[01:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[01:18] ---**
Did they coerce you into cooperating?
**[01:20] ---**
Are they holding a loved one hostage?!
**[01:22] ---**
Get off me!
**[01:23] ---**
This poor boy was forced to dwell
among vampires and the Blue Moon Clan.
**[01:29] ---**
What a pitiful creature.
**[01:36] ---**
You people will never change.
**[01:39] ---**
You cast pity where it's unwanted.
You don't realize you look down on others.
**[01:43] ---**
Listen here! I choose my
own path no matter what I do!
**[01:48] ---**
I consort with vampires.
**[01:50] ---**
I snuck into your lair.
**[01:52] ---**
And I just raked your face.
**[01:56] ---**
It was all of my own free will!
**[01:58] ---**
You fools may be slaves to
this god of yours, but not me!
**[02:11] ---**
You poor thing.
**[02:22] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:31] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[02:36] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[02:40] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[02:45] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[02:50] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[02:58] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[03:08] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[03:15] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[03:20] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[03:25] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[03:29] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[03:38] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[03:48] ---**
O Lord, I beseech Thee!
Have mercy upon him!
**[03:52] ---**
Surely he knows not what he does.
**[04:00] ---**
Open your eyes, Dear Vanitas.
**[04:02] ---**
The Word of God shall not reach your
soul if you turn your back on His light!
**[04:08] ---**
Forget your god for now and listen to me!
**[04:11] ---**
Look at me!
**[04:14] ---**
I want you to know God's love through me!
**[04:17] ---**
Huh?
**[04:18] ---**
It's all right. There is nothing to fear.
**[04:21] ---**
Though you have gone astray,
the Lord will never abandon you!
**[04:29] ---**
I shall not fail to save you
from the vampires' evil clutches.
**[04:34] ---**
You're creeping me out!
**[04:41] ---**
My vision's coming back.
**[04:44] ---**
Now I can do something.
**[04:46] ---**
It is time, Durandal!
**[04:48] ---**
Noé!
**[04:50] ---**
He's swift!
**[04:51] ---**
Chasseurs are no mere humans!
**[04:54] ---**
They use drugs to enhance
their combat prowess!
**[04:56] ---**
That explains it!
You could have told me sooner!
**[04:59] ---**
Will you ever learn?!
**[05:11] ---**
Impressive.
**[05:13] ---**
I've never seen a vampire move so
swiftly after being struck by that light.
**[05:18] ---**
Please, wait! Listen to me!
**[05:21] ---**
I already told you.
**[05:22] ---**
No vampire who sets foot
in here leaves this place alive.
**[05:27] ---**
Big city vampires never listen.
**[05:29] ---**
And you humans are no different!
**[05:34] ---**
I didn't see a lever
on the wall out there.
**[05:38] ---**
That means...
**[05:41] ---**
There!
**[05:46] ---**
I'm at a disadvantage here.
**[05:48] ---**
If I keep my distance and
wait for my strength to recover...
**[05:52] ---**
Trying to escape?
**[05:53] ---**
You coward!
**[05:59] ---**
You're not going anywhere...
**[06:01] ---**
...vampire!
**[06:21] ---**
If I deny him his weapon...!
**[06:35] ---**
What... in the devil... was that?
**[06:38] ---**
This ends now!
**[06:40] ---**
What the...?!
**[06:50] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[06:56] ---**
They got away.
**[06:59] ---**
Captain!
**[07:00] ---**
Ah, Maria, Georges.
**[07:02] ---**
Oh, no! You're bleeding!
**[07:05] ---**
Excellent timing. I got lost and
then ran into a pair of intruders.
**[07:12] ---**
One of them was a vampire.
**[07:17] ---**
Now then...
**[07:20] ---**
The hunt is on.
**[07:23] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[07:25] ---**
Where are you? Come out,
come out wherever you are!
**[07:28] ---**
Please, Captain. Lower your voice.
**[07:31] ---**
But Dear Vanitas might heed my call.
**[07:35] ---**
He's not going to answer!
**[07:37] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[07:39] ---**
Enough! Be silent!
**[07:40] ---**
He really does creep me out!
**[07:43] ---**
That Roland fellow...
**[07:45] ---**
You saw it didn't you?
Those eyes brimming with goodwill?
**[07:49] ---**
Such sanctimonious fools who won't accept
malice for what it is are the worst!
**[07:55] ---**
They twist every provocation and
rejection to suit their own needs.
**[08:05] ---**
Oh, forgive me.
**[08:08] ---**
I never thought that
you'd meet your match.
**[08:12] ---**
But I don't see the problem.
I've grown rather fond of him.
**[08:17] ---**
Whatever you say, Mr. Personality.
**[08:23] ---**
How are your eyes?
**[08:25] ---**
Much better now.
**[08:28] ---**
But the real and formulaic worlds
are still a mixed-up, sickening blur.
**[08:32] ---**
That light likely hinders the
function of a vampire's eyes,
**[08:37] ---**
thus preventing the
rewriting of the World Formula.
**[08:40] ---**
Noé, you enhance your body in combat.
**[08:44] ---**
What else can you do by
tampering with the World Formula?
**[08:48] ---**
If I try hard enough,
I can stand on a wall or ceiling.
**[08:54] ---**
Do you think you can defeat him?
**[09:05] ---**
I don't know, but...
**[09:08] ---**
We can win... if we work together.
**[09:24] ---**
Noé, I came here looking for someone.
**[09:28] ---**
His name is Moreau.
**[09:30] ---**
He was obsessed with vampire research.
**[09:32] ---**
His madness got him
expelled from the Chasseurs.
**[09:36] ---**
Look at this.
**[09:38] ---**
The button Dante took from that abductor?
**[09:41] ---**
Look at the other side.
**[09:45] ---**
Number 128?
**[09:48] ---**
It's a production number.
**[09:51] ---**
The recent abductions weren't
the work of ordinary Chasseurs.
**[09:57] ---**
They are enhanced humans,
the fruit of Moreau's human experiments.
**[10:02] ---**
They're his creations.
**[10:10] ---**
Now who do we have here?
**[10:12] ---**
The black-haired one seems familiar,
or am I just imagining things?
**[10:20] ---**
Vanitas?
**[10:22] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[10:24] ---**
That black-haired, blue-eyed lad
went by such a name.
**[10:32] ---**
Why, yes! Yes! I just remembered!
**[10:35] ---**
It *is* him! The lad from back then!
**[10:38] ---**
Welcome home! Welcome home! Welcome home!
**[10:42] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
robbed him from me!
**[10:45] ---**
He was my precious test subject!
**[10:58] ---**
All right, let's go, Noé.
**[11:02] ---**
I repeat, there are two intruders.
**[11:05] ---**
A blonde-haired vampire
and a black-haired human.
**[11:08] ---**
However, I want the
human taken alive at all costs.
**[11:12] ---**
Do *not* slay him.
**[11:17] ---**
To think two intruders
would trouble us so...
**[11:20] ---**
Olivier will have my head for this.
**[11:23] ---**
Captain, seeing as one of them
is Vanitas of the Blue Moon Clan,
**[11:28] ---**
should we have not reported that fact?
**[11:32] ---**
That's true!
**[11:33] ---**
Seriously?!
**[11:36] ---**
Oh, never mind.
I'll submit a full report later.
**[11:40] ---**
Now, let us go!
**[11:42] ---**
We have the home-field advantage!
**[11:45] ---**
This place will be your grave, vampire!
**[11:49] ---**
What the--?!
**[11:52] ---**
The automatons are attacking us?!
**[11:57] ---**
The astermite is glowing red.
I've never seen such a reaction.
**[12:01] ---**
Snap out of it. What happened here?
**[12:04] ---**
Captain, there's something
wrong with those two.
**[12:07] ---**
It's as if they know this labyrinth
like the back of their hand.
**[12:11] ---**
We were on their tail,
but they somehow circled behind us
**[12:15] ---**
and took us by surprise!
**[12:18] ---**
And that eldritch light...
**[12:21] ---**
It was as if we, the Chasseurs,
had gone from hunters to prey.
**[12:31] ---**
That book can even tamper with machines?
**[12:35] ---**
Not exactly.
**[12:37] ---**
It tampered with the astermite
powering the automatons.
**[12:41] ---**
Surely you understand why that's possible?
**[12:46] ---**
Don't tell me you rewrote its formula?!
**[12:49] ---**
Precisely. That stone has a conduit to
the World Formula, just as vampires do.
**[12:55] ---**
I simply used it.
**[12:56] ---**
What a pain. I thought we'd reach
our goal without crossing the Chasseurs.
**[13:02] ---**
Things never go as planned.
**[13:05] ---**
I've so many other questions.
**[13:07] ---**
How do you know this place so well
that you can bedevil the Chasseurs?
**[13:13] ---**
What is that man Moreau trying to achieve?
**[13:16] ---**
What is your connection to him?
**[13:19] ---**
And why is it that at times...
**[13:25] ---**
...you make that face?
**[13:27] ---**
Hey.
**[13:28] ---**
Quit making that face.
**[13:30] ---**
I always look like this!
**[13:33] ---**
Don't lie to me.
**[13:38] ---**
My parents were slain by a vampire.
**[13:41] ---**
What?
**[13:42] ---**
The Chasseurs saved me from the same fate.
**[13:45] ---**
And the Church began training me
to join them as a new recruit.
**[13:50] ---**
But before I was ready,
Moreau took notice of me,
**[13:53] ---**
and I became his guinea pig.
**[13:56] ---**
End of story.
**[14:00] ---**
End of... story?
**[14:03] ---**
Oh, and I spent years down here,
so I know it well.
**[14:07] ---**
It's as simple as that.
**[14:09] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[14:13] ---**
Why did he tell that story
as if it were someone else?
**[14:18] ---**
You don't hold a grudge against vampires?
**[14:23] ---**
The way I see it, humans and
vampires are much the same.
**[14:28] ---**
They're both truly monstrous
and endlessly selfish creatures.
**[14:37] ---**
There it is again!
Please don't make that face!
**[14:40] ---**
Keep your voice down!
**[14:42] ---**
Seeing you make
that face raises my hackles!
**[14:45] ---**
Yeah?! Well, sorry! I was born with it!
**[14:48] ---**
No, you weren't, you liar!
**[14:50] ---**
Why you...!
**[14:52] ---**
There you are, Dear Vanitas!
**[14:56] ---**
Noé! Close your eyes!
**[15:03] ---**
The security gate!
**[15:06] ---**
They will not escape! To the bypass!
**[15:08] ---**
Wait, Maria!
**[15:09] ---**
It's no use. The controls won't respond!
**[15:16] ---**
Now, listen carefully, Noé.
**[15:19] ---**
From this point, we have
to beat Roland without fighting.
**[15:23] ---**
Without fighting?
**[15:24] ---**
That's right. He's formidable.
**[15:27] ---**
He may be one of the
mightiest of the Chasseurs.
**[15:30] ---**
If we fight, we won't come out unscathed.
**[15:34] ---**
We're now making our way toward Moreau,
along with his enhanced humans.
**[15:40] ---**
The abducted vampires should
be there, too, if they yet live.
**[15:45] ---**
We can't afford to get wounded here.
**[15:48] ---**
This ends now.
**[15:56] ---**
That's no way to treat a lady!
**[15:59] ---**
A tasty little fly caught in our web.
**[16:02] ---**
We're taking her hostage!
**[16:04] ---**
Overruled!
**[16:05] ---**
I overrule your overruling!
**[16:07] ---**
Not this again?!
**[16:09] ---**
This is the swiftest way
to deal with men like Roland!
**[16:12] ---**
I'm against it!
**[16:14] ---**
It will dash any hope
of a peaceful resolution!
**[16:18] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:20] ---**
How can you still think like that?!
There *is* no peaceful resolution with him!
**[16:24] ---**
If we explain the situation and
clear up this misunderstanding--
**[16:28] ---**
This is what makes you people weak!
**[16:32] ---**
You have great power yet dig your
own graves by shackling yourselves.
**[16:37] ---**
Vanitas--
**[16:38] ---**
Enough! I'm done with you!
**[16:41] ---**
If you don't like my way of doing things,
you're free to go it alone!
**[16:46] ---**
Working with naive fools like you
will be the death of me someday!
**[16:52] ---**
Go make nice with your preachy pals,
you candied-brained, blood-sucking bat!
**[17:02] ---**
Message received, Vanitas.
**[17:05] ---**
I take back what I said.
**[17:07] ---**
We *are* going to take a hostage.
**[17:11] ---**
What?
**[17:20] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[17:21] ---**
Stay right where you are.
**[17:22] ---**
One false move and I'll snap
his bony neck in the wink of an eye.
**[17:27] ---**
Hey, you're stealing... my lines.
**[17:30] ---**
Foul vampire! How can you stoop so low?!
**[17:33] ---**
Please calm yourself, Captain!
It may very well be a trap!
**[17:37] ---**
Yes, but even so...!
**[17:39] ---**
What's gotten into you, you fool?!
**[17:42] ---**
He'll see through this act.
**[17:43] ---**
Act? You say the silliest things, Vanitas.
**[17:47] ---**
--Huh?
**[17:48] ---**
--Did I not tell you before?
--Huh?
**[17:49] ---**
--Did I not tell you before?
**[17:50] ---**
What?
**[17:51] ---**
We can win if we work together.
**[17:54] ---**
Those are some scary eyes!
**[17:56] ---**
Don't just stand there, Roland!
**[17:58] ---**
Hurry up and save me!
**[18:00] ---**
I'm serious! Please save me!
**[18:03] ---**
Are you saying it's all an act, Georges?
**[18:06] ---**
It's so hard to tell.
**[18:08] ---**
Vanitas, there is one thing
you said earlier that I agree with.
**[18:14] ---**
We must not let him deal the first blow.
**[18:17] ---**
With that in mind!
**[18:19] ---**
Wait! Stop!
**[18:21] ---**
Dear Vanitas!
**[18:26] ---**
Pardon me!
**[18:47] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Roland!
**[18:49] ---**
My name is Noé.
**[18:51] ---**
I came here with Vanitas to
investigate an incident of interest.
**[18:55] ---**
Noé, you fool.
Why are you introducing yourself?
**[18:58] ---**
First, please allow me to apologize
for entering your domain without leave.
**[19:04] ---**
However, I swear we did not slay
the men we took these clothes from,
**[19:09] ---**
nor did we harm them more than needed.
**[19:11] ---**
So, please! Will you not
hear what we have to say?!
**[19:17] ---**
What is wrong with you?
**[19:20] ---**
Captain!
**[19:23] ---**
Dr. Moreau yet lives!
**[19:28] ---**
Now, listen to what we have to say.
**[19:33] ---**
That *is* shocking news.
**[19:35] ---**
We cast out Dr. Moreau,
yet he's been operating under our noses?
**[19:42] ---**
And that's why vampires
are being abducted?
**[19:45] ---**
It's just a tall tale!
**[19:46] ---**
Is it not, Captain?
**[19:48] ---**
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:48] ---**
--No, it actually makes sense.
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:51] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--I didn't want to explain about myself.
**[19:51] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--Why you...!
**[19:52] ---**
--There are no inconsistencies
in Vanitas's story.
--I could've been killed
if things went south.
**[19:54] ---**
--But...
--I could've been killed
if things went south.
**[19:55] ---**
And what you just did?!
Were you trying to kill me?
**[19:58] ---**
What? I held back to make sure
you didn't break anything.
**[20:01] ---**
That's not the issue!
**[20:03] ---**
So are you really a vampire?
**[20:07] ---**
What?
**[20:07] ---**
Oh, it's merely, you're unlike
any vampire I've met before.
**[20:12] ---**
Obviously.
**[20:13] ---**
The Chasseurs only hunt the violent ones
who go rampaging through the human world.
**[20:19] ---**
I see. That explains it.
**[20:23] ---**
How interesting.
This is a truly intriguing find!
**[20:28] ---**
I've made up my mind!
**[20:29] ---**
My Dear Noé, let us be friends!
**[20:33] ---**
I want to learn everything about you!
**[20:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:38] ---**
Gladly!
**[20:41] ---**
That settles it.
**[20:43] ---**
I shall join you!
**[20:46] ---**
Wh-Wh-What has gotten into you, Captain?!
**[20:49] ---**
What? That matter concerning Moreau is
something the Chasseurs must deal with.
**[20:55] ---**
We must tell our superiors--
**[20:56] ---**
I'd rather die than team up with you!
Don't you dare follow us!
**[21:01] ---**
What a relief. He understood
once we explained the situation.
**[21:05] ---**
He really did understand!
**[21:08] ---**
But that begs the question...
**[21:10] ---**
Why didn't you explain why
you're here in the first place?
**[21:28] ---**
Vanitas.
**[21:30] ---**
We're here.
**[21:32] ---**
This is it.
**[21:42] ---**
Welcome! Or should I say, welcome home!
**[21:45] ---**
My Number 69!
**[21:49] ---**
Do you remember me?!
You remember me, don't you?!
**[21:53] ---**
It's Dr. Moreau!
**[21:58] ---**
Vanitas...
**[22:04] ---**
Dr. Moreau!

**[00:13] ---**
What a cruel thing to do
to a child such as this.
**[00:20] ---**
Well, what will you do?
**[00:26] ---**
Will you, too, come with me?
**[00:37] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[00:46] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[00:51] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[00:55] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[01:00] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[01:05] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[01:13] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[01:23] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[01:30] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[01:35] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[01:40] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[01:44] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[01:53] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[02:03] ---**
Doctor Moreau!
**[02:06] ---**
It's an honor to see you again!
**[02:09] ---**
I figured you'd be here
if you were in Paris.
**[02:12] ---**
Yes, yes!
**[02:13] ---**
I'm impressed you remembered
the way here, Number 69!
**[02:18] ---**
Hmm? Who might these folks be?
**[02:21] ---**
They have weapons in hand.
**[02:23] ---**
Friends of yours?
**[02:25] ---**
They're your supporters, Doctor!
**[02:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:30] ---**
On the way here, I told them
of your sublime experiments.
**[02:37] ---**
Your ideas truly resonated with them,
**[02:39] ---**
so they vowed that they would assist you.
**[02:43] ---**
As you can see, they are Chasseurs.
**[02:46] ---**
They shall prove useful as
both assistants and guards!
**[02:52] ---**
How very...
**[02:54] ---**
...splendid!
**[02:58] ---**
I applaud you! I applaud you!
**[03:05] ---**
What a relief. If you turned out to
be evil-doers bent on capturing me,
**[03:09] ---**
I would have had to kill you.
**[03:13] ---**
Come, come, everyone! Hurry now!
**[03:15] ---**
We must prepare to entertain our guests!
**[03:18] ---**
Vanitas, he is...
**[03:21] ---**
With enough flattery,
**[03:23] ---**
he'll get so excited, he'll blurt out
things we haven't even asked.
**[03:27] ---**
What became of the abducted vampires?
**[03:30] ---**
Is he the only one behind the abductions?
**[03:33] ---**
We'll wring every bit of
information we can out of him.
**[03:37] ---**
After that, we'll let
the Chasseurs have at him,
**[03:41] ---**
or I will slay him myself.
**[03:48] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[03:51] ---**
Are these the enhanced
humans Vanitas spoke of?
**[03:55] ---**
Now, allow me to
introduce myself once more!
**[03:58] ---**
My name is Moreau!
**[04:01] ---**
Number 69, no doubt,
already told you, but
**[04:04] ---**
I research vampires here!
**[04:07] ---**
Question!
**[04:09] ---**
--Yes?!
**[04:09] ---**
--Doctor, Doctor!
--Yes?!
**[04:10] ---**
--Yes?
**[04:11] ---**
--Why are you researching vampires?
--Yes?
**[04:12] ---**
--Why are you researching vampires?
**[04:15] ---**
What?
**[04:16] ---**
He means such vital information
should be obtained from the source!
**[04:20] ---**
I see! Well, that is a
most commendable attitude!
**[04:26] ---**
The truth is I wish to
become a vampire someday!
**[04:33] ---**
When the Church first approached me,
**[04:35] ---**
I assisted in their research on vampires
simply out of intellectual curiosity.
**[04:41] ---**
But the more I learned about vampires,
**[04:43] ---**
the more I couldn't stop
thinking about one thing!
**[04:48] ---**
And that is vampires
are a new human species,
**[04:52] ---**
the very apex of evolution!
**[04:55] ---**
That's why I want to cross over
to that side now, now, now!
**[05:00] ---**
Hell's bells!
**[05:01] ---**
Those fools in the Church
treated me like a lunatic!
**[05:06] ---**
Hell's bells!
**[05:07] ---**
Because of them, so much of
my time and effort was wasted!
**[05:10] ---**
Damn them!
**[05:19] ---**
You have no idea how
truly difficult it's been!
**[05:23] ---**
After the Vampire of the Blue Moon
attacked my laboratory that day
**[05:26] ---**
and stole you children from me...
**[05:29] ---**
There was more than one?
**[05:32] ---**
...my creations and my place
of research were destroyed.
**[05:37] ---**
That ruckus brought my secret
research to the Church's attention,
**[05:42] ---**
and I was nearly killed!
**[05:45] ---**
It was the worst day ever!
**[05:48] ---**
My goodness. I'm so sorry about that.
**[05:54] ---**
No, no, forgive me!
I'm not at all angry at you.
**[05:58] ---**
Number 69, you were
an outstanding specimen.
**[06:03] ---**
You gladly cooperated with
each and every experiment!
**[06:06] ---**
You were sliced and diced
to the brink of death,
**[06:08] ---**
yet you never complained or cried!
**[06:14] ---**
That's why I'm so delighted
that you've returned to me!
**[06:18] ---**
You came back to assist
with my work, didn't you?
**[06:24] ---**
Of course, I did, Doctor.
**[06:26] ---**
The moment I heard of the string
of vampire disappearances in Paris,
**[06:30] ---**
I had a feeling it must be you,
fighting to complete your work here.
**[06:36] ---**
But, Doctor, this is the den of Chasseurs,
the very ones who drove you out.
**[06:41] ---**
Has being alone not
put you at a disadvantage?
**[06:46] ---**
That has not been a problem.
**[06:48] ---**
After all, I now have that
exalted personage on my side.
**[06:54] ---**
Exalted personage?
**[06:55] ---**
That's right! A fabulous kindred spirit
who understands my work and supports me!
**[07:01] ---**
Thanks to my savior, I was able
to return to my good old laboratory!
**[07:07] ---**
Who exactly is this person you speak of?
**[07:11] ---**
Wrong question. It's the one thing
I must not speak of, even to you.
**[07:16] ---**
Forget that. Look at this!
**[07:20] ---**
Freshly harvested vampire eyeballs!
**[07:24] ---**
Before they died and turned to dust,
**[07:26] ---**
I carved off the parts
I need for my experiments.
**[07:33] ---**
What's this?!
**[07:34] ---**
Number 69? Have your
eyes not changed color?
**[07:39] ---**
Yes, they have!
**[07:41] ---**
Where once they were deep blue,
they're now light in color,
**[07:45] ---**
like copper sulfate.
**[07:48] ---**
Is this related to the power possessed
by the Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[07:52] ---**
Well, Number 69?!
**[07:56] ---**
How intriguing.
**[07:57] ---**
How intriguing! How very intriguing!
**[08:00] ---**
Number 69! I need but one!
**[08:02] ---**
Do you mind if I gouge out
just one to study?!
**[08:06] ---**
Number 69!
**[08:11] ---**
What do you think you're doing?
**[08:14] ---**
Don't do this.
**[08:15] ---**
Sorry, but I must.
**[08:19] ---**
Doctor Moreau, there is
much I'd like to say to you,
**[08:24] ---**
but that incessant 69, 69...
**[08:27] ---**
Stop referring to people as numbers!
**[08:32] ---**
Your eyes are red.
**[08:35] ---**
You're a vampire?!
**[08:40] ---**
I must thank you, Noé.
**[08:42] ---**
I was about to murder that man
if you hadn't made a move!
**[08:47] ---**
Drat!
**[08:48] ---**
Noé, keep a firm grip on him!
**[08:51] ---**
Oh, um, sure!
**[08:53] ---**
Doctor Moreau, who is that
"exalted personage" you spoke of?!
**[08:57] ---**
Number 69, 69! Who is this vampire?!
Where did he come from?!
**[09:00] ---**
May I dissect him?!
**[09:03] ---**
Youch! No! I can't believe this! Stop!
**[09:15] ---**
You're...!
**[09:17] ---**
Monsieur Spider! Thank you for saving me!
**[09:21] ---**
That does it, Doctor.
**[09:22] ---**
I'm destroying your laboratory.
**[09:25] ---**
No!
**[09:26] ---**
What the devil?!
**[09:29] ---**
Charlatan and Naenia,
**[09:32] ---**
the masked man,
**[09:33] ---**
and Doctor Moreau are all connected?
**[09:40] ---**
Oh dear, it seems
my little friend woke up.
**[09:43] ---**
Is that the curse-bearer Dante
and company were after?!
**[09:46] ---**
It manifested already?!
**[09:50] ---**
Not so fast!
**[09:53] ---**
Oh, before I forget, 69,
**[09:55] ---**
how is Number 71 doing?
**[10:00] ---**
You know, the one that
was so attached to you?
**[10:04] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
took my 71 from me along with you!
**[10:10] ---**
Is he not here with you?
**[10:13] ---**
Big Brother.
**[10:17] ---**
Why do you hate Father so?
**[10:19] ---**
Father is a good person. He rescued
us from Moreau's lab, remember?
**[10:22] ---**
Give him back. Give him back.
**[10:24] ---**
Give my father back to me!
**[10:29] ---**
Vanitas! What is it? Are you all right?!
**[10:33] ---**
Get a grip!
**[10:48] ---**
What is... that?
**[10:58] ---**
Stand back if you won't help.
**[11:00] ---**
What?! You stand back, you fool!
**[11:03] ---**
At least tell me what
the devil that thing is!
**[11:13] ---**
It is the malnomen
Prédateur, "the shadow."
**[11:21] ---**
It ravenously devours
all life in its path.
**[11:33] ---**
Inverse operations won't
have any effect on it!
**[11:36] ---**
We must get the curse-bearer out of there!
**[11:39] ---**
Noé!
**[11:40] ---**
How?!
**[11:55] ---**
What an idiot.
**[11:58] ---**
Tell me.
**[11:59] ---**
Why are you putting yourself in danger
to help vampires of the crimson moon?
**[12:03] ---**
They exiled Father.
**[12:07] ---**
You're too late, anyway.
Hurry up and tell them.
**[12:15] ---**
You know you don't want
anyone else to die because of you.
**[12:20] ---**
Vanitas!
**[12:22] ---**
Please, you must get up!
**[12:24] ---**
Vanitas!
**[12:33] ---**
Noé, get Roland and
his people out of here.
**[12:37] ---**
The shadow will vanish once it
consumes the curse-bearer within.
**[12:43] ---**
Until then, it can't harm anyone
else if we can lock it up in here.
**[12:48] ---**
You can't save it?
**[12:52] ---**
I fear it's too late.
**[12:55] ---**
I don't know how to pry
a curse-bearer out of a shadow.
**[12:59] ---**
There's nothing more I can do.
**[13:02] ---**
No!
**[13:04] ---**
I don't wish to give up yet!
**[13:14] ---**
Vanitas.
**[13:16] ---**
Wh-What?
**[13:17] ---**
What do you suppose
it's like within its maw?
**[13:20] ---**
What?!
**[13:21] ---**
If we can't do anything
from outside, we'll go inside!
**[13:25] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! If it eats you, you die!
**[13:28] ---**
Stay there if you're scared.
**[13:30] ---**
I'll do what I can myself.
**[13:33] ---**
Hey, wait! Noé!
**[13:36] ---**
Vanitas. What are you, anyway?
**[13:41] ---**
Why are you here right now?
**[13:47] ---**
I am...
**[13:49] ---**
What an idiot.
Why are you even doing this?
**[13:53] ---**
Shut your mouth!
**[13:59] ---**
I am a doctor.
**[14:02] ---**
I'm here to save vampires!
**[14:10] ---**
Roland! A little help!
**[14:14] ---**
Maria, Georges! Bring it down!
**[14:36] ---**
There's the curse-bearer
that has manifested Prédateur.
**[14:43] ---**
Do not fear.
**[14:45] ---**
We can win.
**[14:48] ---**
If we work together?
**[15:36] ---**
I thought we were goners!
**[15:38] ---**
Forgive me for my grandiose
statements a moment ago.
**[15:41] ---**
I clearly underestimated the situation.
**[15:44] ---**
I tried to warn you.
**[15:52] ---**
I really don't know why we're still alive.
**[15:57] ---**
It makes no sense.
**[16:08] ---**
We managed to save him, Vanitas.
**[16:14] ---**
But Moreau got away.
**[16:17] ---**
Well, that's true, but...
**[16:25] ---**
Run for it!
**[16:32] ---**
Why did it suddenly explode?
**[16:35] ---**
My guess is that if the worst happened,
**[16:37] ---**
there was a mechanism in place
to destroy the lab and everything in it.
**[16:44] ---**
Noé, these children are among the vampires
Moreau abducted, aren't they?
**[16:48] ---**
That's right.
**[16:50] ---**
I'll look after them.
**[16:53] ---**
The vampires had no part
in this latest incident.
**[16:56] ---**
If anything, we Chasseurs
bungled the whole thing.
**[17:00] ---**
We'll turn them over to Count Orlok.
**[17:04] ---**
I swear I shall see it through.
**[17:06] ---**
You two must flee this place at once.
**[17:11] ---**
It matters not why you're here.
**[17:13] ---**
If you enter the Chasseurs'
domain without leave,
**[17:16] ---**
you will be captured and questioned.
**[17:20] ---**
Go before it's too late.
**[17:22] ---**
But, captain!
**[17:31] ---**
Leave the rest to us.
**[17:34] ---**
Now go. Hurry.
**[17:37] ---**
Thank you, Roland!
**[17:42] ---**
Let us meet again under the sun.
**[17:46] ---**
Now then, Georges, Maria.
I'm placing them in your care.
**[17:52] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[17:54] ---**
Roland!
**[18:01] ---**
Hello, Olivier!
**[18:02] ---**
Your hair is always so silky smooth!
**[18:06] ---**
This is no time for jokes!
**[18:10] ---**
What caused that tremor?!
What have you done this time?!
**[18:13] ---**
I'll file a detailed report later.
**[18:16] ---**
But forget that for now
and listen, Olivier.
**[18:19] ---**
You'll never believe this,
but I befriended a vampire.
**[18:24] ---**
He gives me splitting headaches!
**[18:27] ---**
Are you all right?
Shall I fetch your medicine?
**[18:30] ---**
This is your fault, you fool!
**[18:32] ---**
Do you understand the situation?
**[18:35] ---**
If the other Chasseurs find out--
**[18:37] ---**
If they find out?
**[18:38] ---**
I'd no longer be welcome here?
**[18:43] ---**
I just saw something
spectacular a moment ago.
**[18:55] ---**
A human and a vampire
were laughing together.
**[18:59] ---**
They were truly having fun.
**[19:02] ---**
I was taught that humans and vampires
will never understand one another.
**[19:07] ---**
I never thought what
I accepted as common sense
**[19:11] ---**
could be so easily overturned.
**[19:14] ---**
What shall I do, Olivier?
**[19:16] ---**
My heart won't stop racing!
**[19:21] ---**
Captain!
**[19:24] ---**
What is it?
**[19:27] ---**
Damn him.
**[19:29] ---**
He really is asking for trouble!
**[19:49] ---**
We finally made it out.
**[19:53] ---**
Was that really all right?
**[19:56] ---**
We left everything for Roland to handle.
**[19:59] ---**
Heck if I know.
**[20:01] ---**
There are no more curse-bearers involved,
so I've no further interest in the matter.
**[20:15] ---**
I'm certain Vanitas didn't wish to get
involved in this if at all possible.
**[20:25] ---**
And yet, he did because
there were curse-bearers.
**[20:33] ---**
Perhaps it was his
sense of duty as a doctor.
**[20:54] ---**
I'm exhausted.
**[20:58] ---**
I know.
**[21:00] ---**
I am, too.
**[21:11] ---**
No, it wasn't duty. It seemed
like a crutch he was leaning on.
**[21:18] ---**
It matters not what you people want!
**[21:22] ---**
I *will* save the vampires!
**[21:27] ---**
I wonder.
**[21:29] ---**
The one who seeks salvation most of all,
**[21:32] ---**
the one who prays for it,
**[21:35] ---**
is it not Vanitas himself?
**[21:44] ---**
"Number 69"
**[23:18] ---**
Doctor Moreau is despondent
after losing his laboratory.
**[23:22] ---**
He will be no use to us for the present.
**[23:26] ---**
That vampire... This is all his fault!
**[23:31] ---**
Noé Archiviste.
**[23:36] ---**
Now he shall have to deal with me.

**[00:12] ---**
There she is.
**[00:15] ---**
I must say I was surprised to
get an invitation to see you again.
**[00:26] ---**
Jeanne.
**[00:32] ---**
Vanitas.
**[00:35] ---**
Let's go on a date.
**[00:44] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[00:53] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[00:58] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[01:02] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[01:07] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[01:12] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[01:20] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[01:30] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[01:37] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[01:42] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[01:47] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[01:51] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[02:00] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[02:11] ---**
Bonjour, Monsieur Vanitas.
**[02:13] ---**
I have a card addressed to you.
**[02:17] ---**
Amelia, what did the person
who delivered this look like?
**[02:21] ---**
Forgive me.
**[02:22] ---**
The hotel asked me to hand it to you.
I didn't see who delivered it.
**[02:29] ---**
Monsieur Noé?
**[02:30] ---**
He fell off *again*?
**[02:34] ---**
Huh? Vanitas?
**[02:37] ---**
Where are you off to?
**[02:41] ---**
It's a secret.
**[02:48] ---**
A date?
**[02:49] ---**
As in you and me?
**[02:52] ---**
What's gotten into you?
**[02:54] ---**
When I think back to when we first met,
it was I who struck the first blow.
**[02:59] ---**
I couldn't have blamed you
if you had killed me for that,
**[03:03] ---**
but you did not.
**[03:06] ---**
It was the same at the masquerade ball.
You helped me save Master Luca.
**[03:11] ---**
You also saved the curse-bearers,
**[03:14] ---**
though the other vampires
heaped scorn upon you.
**[03:17] ---**
I should have truly despised
that power you held over me.
**[03:23] ---**
But before I knew it, all I could
think about was you, day or night.
**[03:28] ---**
I think this means...
**[03:32] ---**
I have fallen for you!
**[03:36] ---**
So please allow me to determine whether
this feeling can truly be called love!
**[03:42] ---**
Huh?
**[03:48] ---**
I-I knew it.
**[03:49] ---**
This really *is* the
right way to go about it.
**[03:53] ---**
What? You wish to know
how to make Vanitas hate you?
**[03:57] ---**
That's right. I cannot stand that man.
**[04:00] ---**
But the more I reject him,
the more happily he cozies up to me.
**[04:04] ---**
I cannot stand to have him toy
with me a moment longer.
**[04:08] ---**
Lady Dominique, surely you know
what to do in such a situation.
**[04:12] ---**
Please, will you not advise me?!
**[04:15] ---**
I've no clue about that sort of thing.
**[04:21] ---**
But Jeanne is so adorable
when she's in a fix.
**[04:24] ---**
I'd like to help her somehow.
**[04:26] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[04:28] ---**
Noé told me something interesting.
**[04:31] ---**
Vanitas once said, "I have zero interest
in the sort of person who would love me."
**[04:39] ---**
That means you simply have to
pretend you have grown fond of him.
**[04:43] ---**
That should make him lose
interest in you and leave you be.
**[04:52] ---**
Today I shall love you, body and soul,
so that you may come to despise me!
**[05:01] ---**
But for this to work,
he must not realize it's an act.
**[05:07] ---**
This was so sudden,
it came as a bit of a shock.
**[05:12] ---**
But how could I possibly refuse
an invitation from you?
**[05:17] ---**
Plus...
**[05:19] ---**
I'm terribly intrigued by
your sudden change of heart.
**[05:24] ---**
I'm so happy, Vanitas.
**[05:27] ---**
Say your prayers, Vanitas.
**[05:29] ---**
Now it's my turn to have
*you* in the palm of my hand!
**[05:35] ---**
I must say, Jeanne,
that dress is quite nice.
**[05:40] ---**
Isn't it?!
**[05:41] ---**
Lady Dominique gave it to me
along with the accessories!
**[05:45] ---**
She picked it out especially for me!
**[05:49] ---**
No, Jeanne.
**[05:52] ---**
I'm saying it's you that is lovely.
**[06:04] ---**
Come now, Jeanne, let's go.
**[06:08] ---**
What was that?
**[06:09] ---**
Did I just react as if
I really were in love?
**[06:16] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:18] ---**
The quack and the Hellfire Witch?!
**[06:23] ---**
What the devil?
How is this even happening?!
**[06:26] ---**
Dominique de Sade?!
**[06:29] ---**
Milady?
**[06:31] ---**
Oh, you're that dham.
**[06:33] ---**
What are you doing?
**[06:35] ---**
Isn't it obvious? I'm following them.
**[06:37] ---**
Seriously?
**[06:40] ---**
Look out! Jeanne!
**[06:47] ---**
Are you all right, Jeanne?
**[06:52] ---**
Forgive me! I...
**[06:58] ---**
It's fine as long as you're unharmed,
but do be careful.
**[07:08] ---**
What is going on?
**[07:09] ---**
I had my suspicions, but it seems
Jeanne is quite the pushover.
**[07:25] ---**
Why is this even happening?
**[07:31] ---**
You have quite a unique way of sleeping.
**[07:38] ---**
Lord Ruthven?!
**[07:40] ---**
Bonjour, my lad.
Did you have a sweet dream?
**[07:51] ---**
Forgive the sudden intrusion.
**[07:54] ---**
It's fine.
**[07:55] ---**
This venerable cafe dates back
to the end of the 17th century.
**[07:59] ---**
It's one of my favorite
places in the mortal world.
**[08:03] ---**
Why are we the only ones in
your favorite "venerable" cafe?
**[08:07] ---**
I had them reserve the whole place for me.
**[08:11] ---**
I wanted to have a
leisurely chat with you.
**[08:15] ---**
With me? Not Vanitas?
**[08:20] ---**
Of course, there are countless
questions I would ask that human.
**[08:24] ---**
However, he would speak
nothing of himself, would he?
**[08:31] ---**
Just like last time.
**[08:32] ---**
He got what he wanted out of me
**[08:35] ---**
but wouldn't allow me
even a moment to ask a question.
**[08:40] ---**
I don't know anything
about Vanitas's past, either.
**[08:45] ---**
Still, you must know
what sort of person he is.
**[08:50] ---**
And you are a child of the Shapeless One.
**[08:55] ---**
That alone is reason enough
to take an interest in you.
**[09:00] ---**
Is my teacher that incredible a vampire?
**[09:07] ---**
Oh, my.
**[09:09] ---**
To think there was a vampire who
could treat one such as he so casually.
**[09:13] ---**
Truth be told,
I really don't know, either.
**[09:27] ---**
I don't understand.
**[09:29] ---**
I know I utterly loathed that man.
**[09:36] ---**
But now my heart is racing like wild.
**[09:41] ---**
It's my duty to watch over this date,
seeing how I instigated it.
**[09:48] ---**
I'm going to stick to those two like glue.
**[09:51] ---**
That's dumb.
**[09:52] ---**
You shut up!
**[09:58] ---**
Vanitas. Please let go of my hand.
**[10:02] ---**
But you don't watch your step.
**[10:04] ---**
My parasol! I want to open it!
**[10:10] ---**
What is going on? I don't get it!
**[10:13] ---**
He was always selfish and egotistical.
Where did *that* man go?
**[10:17] ---**
This is... This is...
**[10:21] ---**
...driving me mad.
**[10:24] ---**
So, is there somewhere
special you'd like to go?
**[10:29] ---**
Since we're here, I'd like to see Paris.
**[10:33] ---**
It's not like it's your first time here.
**[10:36] ---**
That's true, but...
**[10:40] ---**
When I'm with Master Luca,
I must keep a constant watch around him.
**[10:44] ---**
I'm not allowed to enjoy the view.
**[10:48] ---**
Well then, today you must enjoy
the city to your heart's content.
**[11:22] ---**
What's that?!
**[11:23] ---**
The Palais Garnier, an opera house.
**[11:26] ---**
And that?!
**[11:27] ---**
The Grands Magasins.
**[11:28] ---**
And that?!
**[11:29] ---**
The Arc de Triomphe.
**[11:30] ---**
And that?!
**[11:31] ---**
Calm down. They're merely cats.
**[11:36] ---**
The whale swims again today.
**[11:39] ---**
This is incredible!
**[11:40] ---**
The Paris in Altus
seems completely different!
**[11:51] ---**
I shouldn't be enjoying this!
**[11:55] ---**
Don't forget why
you're doing this, Jeanne!
**[11:58] ---**
This date was meant to
sever all ties with Vanitas!
**[12:04] ---**
Jeanne, would you care for a crepe?
**[12:06] ---**
Yes, please!
**[12:10] ---**
Boring...
**[12:12] ---**
Excuse me. This has turned into a
plain old date, so I'm gonna get going.
**[12:17] ---**
Don't be stupid.
You've come this far. Stick it out!
**[12:27] ---**
A fine view, don't you think?
Montmartre is the highest hill in Paris.
**[12:32] ---**
That tower...
**[12:34] ---**
It's the Sun Tower, the prime exhibit
at the next Exposition Universelle.
**[12:40] ---**
A truly tasteless structure.
**[12:42] ---**
I was convinced they would adopt
Gustave Eiffel's proposal, but...
**[12:48] ---**
It's just like the Tower of Babel.
**[12:56] ---**
Now then, wait here a moment, Jeanne.
**[13:00] ---**
Where are you going?
**[13:02] ---**
The lavatory.
**[13:04] ---**
I would hear your answer upon my return.
**[13:07] ---**
Think upon it.
**[13:14] ---**
What is it?
**[13:14] ---**
I'm sorry. It's nothing.
**[13:16] ---**
I don't mind. Just say it.
**[13:20] ---**
When I speak with you,
**[13:23] ---**
it's almost as if I'm with my teacher.
**[13:28] ---**
What could it be? The way you speak?
**[13:32] ---**
I feel as if I'm attending class.
**[13:36] ---**
Or maybe it's just that I have
so much fun talking to you.
**[13:42] ---**
It's strange, isn't it? You seem
like completely different people.
**[13:50] ---**
Long ago, I did work
as a teacher of sorts.
**[13:54] ---**
It was back when humans and vampires
still hated and slaughtered each other.
**[13:59] ---**
Many students adored me
and gathered to my side.
**[14:04] ---**
I imparted them with knowledge
that would make them think.
**[14:09] ---**
I wanted them to join me
in creating a brighter future.
**[14:13] ---**
Are you still in touch with them?
**[14:16] ---**
They are dead.
**[14:19] ---**
They were all killed.
**[14:25] ---**
Forgive me for reminding you
of something so painful.
**[14:30] ---**
If I had students like you now,
**[14:35] ---**
my days would surely be filled with joy.
**[14:40] ---**
But I'm concerned.
**[14:43] ---**
What if one who would take advantage
of your kindness were to appear?
**[14:48] ---**
Do you speak of Vanitas?
**[14:51] ---**
He would never do so.
**[14:55] ---**
He'll try to use almost anyone,
**[14:58] ---**
and yet he can't stand anyone
getting hurt because of him.
**[15:02] ---**
He's a walking contradiction.
**[15:05] ---**
Vanitas believes humans
and vampires are the same.
**[15:08] ---**
He told me they're both
monstrous and selfish creatures.
**[15:13] ---**
I was annoyed when he said that,
**[15:17] ---**
but I also sensed his loneliness.
**[15:22] ---**
What do *you* think?
**[15:25] ---**
What are vampires,
and what are humans to you?
**[15:35] ---**
What am I doing? I must focus.
**[15:38] ---**
This charade is almost over.
**[15:41] ---**
All I have to do is
convey my love for him.
**[15:45] ---**
I must practice what I'll say!
**[15:51] ---**
Vanitas, I had so much fun today.
**[15:55] ---**
It was a joy to see
so many new sides of you.
**[16:01] ---**
It makes me want to learn
so much more about you.
**[16:08] ---**
It's just as I thought.
**[16:10] ---**
I'm starting to...
**[16:14] ---**
...take a fancy... to you.
**[16:20] ---**
Wait. Why do I feel so embarrassed?
**[16:22] ---**
I said it like it was nothing before.
**[16:26] ---**
I fancy you, too!
**[16:30] ---**
Huh?! What?!
**[16:31] ---**
That just made my day, hearing you
profess your true feelings for me.
**[16:36] ---**
Wait! No! No! No!
**[16:39] ---**
Wrong reaction!
**[16:41] ---**
Is it?
**[16:41] ---**
You're supposed to look at me
with contempt, like I'm some maggot!
**[16:46] ---**
Now, now, my little bunny rabbit.
Whatever do you speak of?
**[16:50] ---**
Or is that a fetish of yours?
**[16:54] ---**
She's totally at his mercy.
**[16:58] ---**
Are you all right?
**[17:10] ---**
Jeanne?
**[17:15] ---**
Her eyes are red!
**[17:17] ---**
V-Vampire!
**[17:18] ---**
She's a vampire!
**[17:24] ---**
Calm yourself, Jeanne.
**[17:28] ---**
A smokescreen?
**[17:29] ---**
Run, you quack!
**[17:31] ---**
Oh, Dante!
**[17:32] ---**
You owe me one!
**[17:39] ---**
What are vampires,
and what are humans to me?
**[17:45] ---**
I don't understand what you're asking.
**[17:48] ---**
It seems you were taken in and
raised by humans when you were young.
**[17:54] ---**
Noé Archiviste.
**[17:56] ---**
Are you on the side of the vampires?
Or are you our enemy?
**[18:06] ---**
Neither one.
**[18:08] ---**
My enemies are anyone or
anything that would harm
**[18:12] ---**
those I hold dear or
whatever I wish to protect.
**[18:16] ---**
Simply being a vampire or a human
does not make someone my enemy.
**[18:21] ---**
I like vampires. I also like
humans in the same manner.
**[18:31] ---**
I see. Now I understand.
**[18:35] ---**
You failed the test.
**[18:38] ---**
What's happening?
**[18:45] ---**
L-Lord Ruthven...
**[19:06] ---**
Are you all right, Jeanne?
**[19:16] ---**
Jeanne, I asked you once before.
**[19:19] ---**
Are you a curse-bearer?
**[19:27] ---**
Have you seen Charlatan?
**[19:31] ---**
Do you have any other symptoms
besides the urge to drink blood?
**[19:40] ---**
I am...
**[19:43] ---**
Has someone forbidden you
to speak about this to others?
**[20:05] ---**
Vanitas, I have...
**[20:09] ---**
I have kept my promise to you.
**[20:14] ---**
I have not sucked the
blood of anyone but you.
**[20:31] ---**
Is that so? In that case...
**[20:34] ---**
I must reward you.
**[20:48] ---**
More.
**[20:50] ---**
Jeanne.
**[20:52] ---**
More!
**[20:59] ---**
*More*!
**[21:10] ---**
What shall I do?
**[21:13] ---**
I feel my sanity slowly slipping away.
**[21:17] ---**
One day, I'll no longer be myself.
**[21:22] ---**
What if the day comes
that I harm Master Luca?
**[21:35] ---**
Jeanne.
**[21:37] ---**
I still don't know whether
you're a curse-bearer.
**[21:42] ---**
As such, I can't promise
that I'll cure you.
**[21:45] ---**
But there's something I *can* do.
**[21:48] ---**
I can promise you this.
**[21:51] ---**
I will kill you if it ever comes to that.
**[21:58] ---**
I promise that I will kill you.
**[22:08] ---**
"Promises"

**[00:07] ---**
What? You want to go back
for your hat and parasol?
**[00:11] ---**
Lady Dominique selected
them especially for me.
**[00:17] ---**
No, don't be silly.
**[00:19] ---**
Worst-case scenario, the Chasseurs
have already been summoned.
**[00:25] ---**
Lady Dominique...
**[00:28] ---**
Let's go. I'll escort you to the barrier.
**[00:30] ---**
What?
**[00:31] ---**
Hmm?
**[00:34] ---**
Perhaps you'd intended to stay
with me till the morning?
**[00:39] ---**
No! I can't leave without
achieving my original objective!
**[00:44] ---**
Original objective?
**[00:47] ---**
You mean determining whether
your love for me is true?
**[00:50] ---**
Mission accomplished, is it not?
**[00:52] ---**
Yeah, right, dream on!
**[00:54] ---**
I've done all this so
I'd never have to see you again!
**[00:57] ---**
I've worked so hard to make it happen!
**[01:00] ---**
I quietly suffered unbearable humiliation
**[01:03] ---**
just to pretend I was in love with--
**[01:07] ---**
Oops.
**[01:14] ---**
Yes, I did find that side
of you quite lovely today.
**[01:21] ---**
I knew that's what I liked about you.
**[01:26] ---**
Huh?
**[01:30] ---**
Still, I'm surprised Luca
let you come see me alone.
**[01:35] ---**
Are you sure it's okay?
**[01:38] ---**
Oh, you didn't tell him?
**[01:42] ---**
Master Luca is with his elder brother.
**[01:46] ---**
The grand duke's brother.
**[01:48] ---**
You speak of the Bestia Loki.
**[01:53] ---**
That's why I was told to take the day off
**[01:56] ---**
and received permission to come see you.
**[01:59] ---**
Permission? From whom?
**[02:02] ---**
Lord Ruthven?
**[02:07] ---**
Yes. How did you...?
**[02:17] ---**
Vanitas?!
**[02:26] ---**
Noé!
**[02:29] ---**
What is it, Vanitas?
**[02:42] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:51] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[02:56] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[03:00] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[03:05] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[03:10] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[03:18] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[03:28] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[03:35] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[03:40] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[03:45] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[03:49] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[03:58] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[04:30] ---**
Swear to me.
**[04:34] ---**
But once at the time of my choosing,
**[04:38] ---**
you shall obey my command,
no matter what it may be.
**[04:42] ---**
Swear it.
**[04:45] ---**
Swear it!
**[04:54] ---**
I swear that...
**[04:58] ---**
...but once at the time of your choosing,
**[05:03] ---**
I shall obey your command,
no matter what it may be.
**[05:10] ---**
I swear it.
**[05:13] ---**
Excellent.
**[05:25] ---**
What? Why didn't you kill him?
**[05:28] ---**
I changed my mind.
**[05:30] ---**
The Shapeless One concerns me.
**[05:32] ---**
We must discover why that monster
is keeping an Archiviste close at hand.
**[05:38] ---**
Until then, it may be wiser
to use the boy as a pawn.
**[05:45] ---**
He's but a child.
**[05:47] ---**
We could slay him anytime we wish.
**[05:51] ---**
I have high hopes for you, my lad.
**[05:55] ---**
When the time comes,
do not forget your vow.
**[06:05] ---**
It's already dark outside!
**[06:07] ---**
Did I really sleep that long?!
**[06:12] ---**
Vanitas, why are you so out of breath?
**[06:17] ---**
Hmm? Have you been injured?
**[06:20] ---**
Never mind that.
**[06:23] ---**
Why did Vanitas run off like that?
**[06:27] ---**
If he hasn't returned by now,
**[06:31] ---**
I suppose I can leave.
**[06:33] ---**
Jeanne.
**[06:38] ---**
Professor Ruthven,
what are you doing here?
**[06:41] ---**
There was a matter that
couldn't wait to be dealt with.
**[06:45] ---**
Upon hearing a vampire had
caused an uproar on Montmartre,
**[06:48] ---**
I thought I'd come have a look.
**[06:51] ---**
That was your doing, Jeanne?
**[06:53] ---**
P-Please, forgive me!
**[06:55] ---**
I swear I didn't harm a single human!
**[07:00] ---**
Actually, I mean,
I *did* bite this one human,
**[07:04] ---**
but it was consensual!
I had their consent!
**[07:07] ---**
Then there shall be no problem.
**[07:14] ---**
How lovely you look.
**[07:16] ---**
I have no doubt Éric and Louise would
have loved to have seen you like this.
**[07:24] ---**
Professor.
**[07:30] ---**
The night grows cold.
Come now, Jeanne, let's go home.
**[07:37] ---**
Well? Were they over there?
**[07:39] ---**
Nope, no sign of 'em.
**[07:41] ---**
How about calling off the search?
**[07:43] ---**
It seems they made a clean escape.
**[07:47] ---**
Still, Jeanne was clearly acting strange.
**[07:51] ---**
I'll keep looking a bit longer.
**[08:02] ---**
Roland!
**[08:04] ---**
Greetings, Olivier!
I can't believe you found me.
**[08:09] ---**
I hear you've been sneaking around
searching for something.
**[08:12] ---**
Sneaking around? That's not nice.
**[08:14] ---**
I'm simply brushing up on my history.
**[08:18] ---**
History?
**[08:19] ---**
That's right.
**[08:21] ---**
The history of humans
and vampires, to be precise.
**[08:25] ---**
No need to look so angry.
**[08:28] ---**
I haven't laid a hand on
any of the forbidden tomes.
**[08:31] ---**
Why do this now?
**[08:34] ---**
I thought I might find something
unlike anything before.
**[08:41] ---**
I had always thought
of vampires as pure evil.
**[08:46] ---**
Of that, I had no doubt.
I had no grounds to question it.
**[08:51] ---**
But I've learned that's not true!
**[08:54] ---**
My eyes are open!
**[08:57] ---**
There is no cause for concern.
**[09:00] ---**
One so deeply faithful as Captain Roland
would never do harm to the Church.
**[09:07] ---**
You do not understand, Georges.
**[09:09] ---**
Strictly speaking,
it is not God he believes in.
**[09:14] ---**
He believes in *himself*
as one of the Lord's faithful.
**[09:22] ---**
You listen to me, Roland!
**[09:25] ---**
You are a Chasseur, a hunter
of vampires in our Lord's name!
**[09:30] ---**
If our superiors learn of such remarks,
you'll be deemed dangerous.
**[09:34] ---**
And if worst comes to worst, your parents
and siblings may come to harm!
**[09:46] ---**
Say, Olivier.
**[09:49] ---**
How many paladins do you
think I could battle on my own?
**[09:53] ---**
What?
**[09:54] ---**
Three? Four?
**[09:56] ---**
Maybe even more if I wanted to tempt fate?
**[09:59] ---**
What is this nonsense?!
**[10:00] ---**
Oh, but...
**[10:02] ---**
I imagine I'd be
hard-pressed if I battled you.
**[10:09] ---**
After all that, he has
the nerve to threaten *me*?
**[10:15] ---**
You understand, Olivier?
**[10:17] ---**
You know what kind of man I am.
**[10:22] ---**
I can only believe in that
which I believe to be true.
**[10:31] ---**
Hell's bells.
**[10:35] ---**
What is this?
**[10:36] ---**
Quack!
**[10:37] ---**
Dante.
**[10:38] ---**
Dominique's not with you?
**[10:40] ---**
What? Domi?
**[10:41] ---**
Aw, hell. I thought you might be on to us.
**[10:44] ---**
Anyone who didn't notice that
needs their head examined.
**[10:47] ---**
I won't argue that.
**[10:50] ---**
But enough about that, quack!
Some unbelievable info just came in!
**[10:54] ---**
The Beast lives!
**[10:56] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan
**[10:58] ---**
has reared its head!
**[11:02] ---**
Gévau... what?
**[11:06] ---**
Now that's interesting.
**[11:09] ---**
Don't spare the details, Dante.
**[11:14] ---**
It is said to have
resembled an enormous wolf.
**[11:19] ---**
Its large maw was twisted,
and its ears pointed.
**[11:22] ---**
It had sharp claws and
a body covered in red fur.
**[11:26] ---**
And it had many
black stripes upon its back.
**[11:31] ---**
The 18th-century regions
of Auvergne and Gévaudan
**[11:34] ---**
were where over 100 women and
children were brutally ripped to shreds.
**[11:42] ---**
Known as the Beast of Gévaudan,
it had the people cowering in fear.
**[11:54] ---**
Even now, there are all sorts of theories
as to what the Beast really was.
**[11:59] ---**
But back then, both Church
and vampires agreed on one thing.
**[12:05] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan was none
other than a curse-bearing vampire!
**[12:16] ---**
So what's this about the
Beast of Gévaudan rearing its head?
**[12:20] ---**
Is it truly the same Beast
as the 18th-century killer?
**[12:24] ---**
Honestly, I can't say either way yet.
**[12:27] ---**
But five bodies have
already turned up this month.
**[12:31] ---**
All the killings differed. Some had their
entrails devoured or heads torn off.
**[12:36] ---**
Just like in the 18th century, eh?
**[12:39] ---**
Yeah, and there are even
eyewitness accounts of the Beast.
**[12:43] ---**
So? What's the plan, quack?
**[12:48] ---**
I'll go see for myself
whether it really is a curse-bearer.
**[12:54] ---**
What will you do, Noé?
**[12:58] ---**
Who? Me?
**[13:01] ---**
Let me think.
**[13:04] ---**
I... umm...
**[13:08] ---**
I think it sounds truly delicious.
**[13:13] ---**
Huh?
**[13:14] ---**
Delicious? You don't
mean the Beast, do you?
**[13:18] ---**
I didn't see that one coming.
**[13:22] ---**
Don't tell me you have some
kind of creepy food fetish.
**[13:27] ---**
This is bad, bad. Really bad.
**[13:30] ---**
Vanitas's blood smells so good.
I can't focus on the conversation.
**[13:35] ---**
It doesn't make sense.
I already knew how good it smelled.
**[13:40] ---**
Why do I feel this way?
**[13:43] ---**
I'm starving!
**[13:45] ---**
I slept the entire day away.
**[13:47] ---**
Which means I haven't eaten anything!
**[13:50] ---**
Which means I'm absolutely ravenous!
**[13:53] ---**
Yes, that must be it!
**[13:55] ---**
When I'm hungry,
I always get thirsty, too!
**[13:58] ---**
So it's because I slept too much.
I do feel really lethargic.
**[14:07] ---**
Damn it. It feels like my sense
of smell is only getting stronger.
**[14:11] ---**
His blood smells positively delectable.
I must have a taste.
**[14:15] ---**
No, wait! I should have
some bread or something first.
**[14:18] ---**
I want blood.
**[14:19] ---**
I know, but we're in the midst
of an important conversation.
**[14:23] ---**
Wait. Is it all right to suck the blood of
a human that has been marked?
**[14:28] ---**
It smells so sweet.
**[14:30] ---**
Just a taste will do. He must let me try.
**[14:34] ---**
What's with him?
**[14:35] ---**
Beats me.
**[14:38] ---**
This is like the time I sucked the blood
of that village child just for fun.
**[14:44] ---**
Listen well, Mon Chaton.
**[14:47] ---**
You have the power to see people's
memories by sucking their blood.
**[14:53] ---**
That means you have to be
more careful than other vampires.
**[14:57] ---**
So then...
**[14:58] ---**
In other words, he means blood-sucking
is a form of communication.
**[15:03] ---**
So if you thirst for someone's blood,
**[15:05] ---**
you must coax them
into letting you have it.
**[15:10] ---**
Coax them?!
**[15:12] ---**
What? How am I supposed to do that?!
**[15:19] ---**
Noé, what's gotten into--
**[15:20] ---**
Vanitas! Your blood has a divine aroma
that one would not imagine possible
**[15:25] ---**
given your intolerable
personality and attitude.
**[15:29] ---**
Huh? Are you picking a fight?
**[15:32] ---**
It's a compliment!
**[15:35] ---**
So, in other words,
**[15:38] ---**
what I'm trying to say is...
**[15:40] ---**
Vanitas! I want but a taste of your--
**[15:42] ---**
Archiviste!
**[15:46] ---**
I'll say this but once, so listen well.
**[15:52] ---**
If you make any attempt to suck my blood
and thereby peer into my memories,
**[15:58] ---**
I will kill you.
**[16:01] ---**
Is that clear?
**[16:06] ---**
Yes.
**[16:08] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[16:36] ---**
I sure bungled that.
**[16:42] ---**
You have it all wrong.
**[16:44] ---**
I didn't want to peer into your memories.
**[16:52] ---**
Then again, is that really true?
**[17:00] ---**
Maybe *I'm* wrong.
**[17:07] ---**
I...
**[18:20] ---**
Just stop it already.
**[18:21] ---**
You're knocking me off-kilter.
**[18:23] ---**
If you've a bone to pick
with me, out with it!
**[18:28] ---**
No, it's nothing like that.
**[18:31] ---**
I wanted to say that what happened
yesterday was all my fault.
**[18:37] ---**
Truth be told, part of me
wants to blame you
**[18:44] ---**
for emitting such a sickly
sweet scent around a vampire.
**[18:46] ---**
Watch it!
**[18:47] ---**
But if I had to say, I can't
swear that sucking your blood
**[18:51] ---**
wasn't a pretext born of my desire
to get a glimpse of your past.
**[18:58] ---**
Why even bother peering into my past?
**[19:02] ---**
What would you gain from that?
**[19:05] ---**
I don't know what I would gain and
whatnot, but I did once say to you,
**[19:10] ---**
"I do find you intriguing."
**[19:18] ---**
Does that Archiviste power of yours
let you see memories in people's blood,
**[19:23] ---**
no matter the source?
**[19:25] ---**
No, it's just like draining life energy.
**[19:29] ---**
You must suck the blood from their veins
if you wish to delve into their memories.
**[19:38] ---**
With other sources, I may,
in rare cases, see fragments of emotions.
**[19:45] ---**
I see.
**[19:46] ---**
In that case, the next time I'm injured,
you can lap up the blood on my clothes.
**[19:52] ---**
But that's a one-time offer.
**[19:54] ---**
What?! Really?!
**[19:56] ---**
Just kidding.
**[19:57] ---**
What?!
**[20:09] ---**
All right, let's go, Noé.
**[20:14] ---**
Okay!
**[20:23] ---**
We'll take this to Gévaudan.
**[20:27] ---**
This?!
**[20:37] ---**
Pardon me.
**[20:38] ---**
No need.
**[20:40] ---**
It was entirely my fault, monsieur.
**[20:44] ---**
Noé, over here.
**[20:48] ---**
Wait for me, Vanitas!
**[20:54] ---**
I-I'm so sleepy.
**[20:57] ---**
You haven't slept a wink?
**[20:59] ---**
I was sure that you would go off and
abandon me when I wasn't looking.
**[21:07] ---**
We have a long way to go.
You'd best get some sleep while you can.
**[21:12] ---**
If I fall asleep...
**[21:16] ---**
...you're not going to leave me?
**[21:21] ---**
I'll wake you when we're there.
**[21:24] ---**
Now get some sleep.
**[21:24] ---**
"Point of Departure"
Now get some sleep.
**[21:26] ---**
"Point of Departure"
**[23:25] ---**
At last, the time has come.
**[23:29] ---**
Here in Gévaudan,
**[23:31] ---**
I shall make my song of vengeance
echo across the land.
**[23:42] ---**

**[00:00] ---**
Quack!
**[00:01] ---**
Dante. Dominique's not with you?
**[00:05] ---**
What? Domi?
**[00:06] ---**
Aw, hell. I thought you might be on to us.
**[00:08] ---**
Anyone who didn't notice that
needs their head examined.
**[00:12] ---**
I won't argue that.
**[00:13] ---**
But enough about that, quack!
Some unbelievable info just came in!
**[00:18] ---**
The Beast lives!
**[00:20] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan
**[00:22] ---**
has reared its head!
**[00:26] ---**
Now that's interesting.
**[00:29] ---**
Don't spare the details, Dante.
**[00:36] ---**
We'll take this to Gévaudan.
**[00:41] ---**
Pardon me.
**[00:43] ---**
No need.
**[00:44] ---**
It was entirely my fault, monsieur.
**[00:49] ---**
Noé, over here.
**[00:52] ---**
Wait for me, Vanitas!
**[02:29] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:41] ---**
"Dear Teacher, I hope
this letter finds you well.
**[02:45] ---**
I have left Paris along with Vanitas
**[02:48] ---**
and traveled to the
faraway region of Gévaudan."
**[02:52] ---**
Vanitas, look!
**[02:54] ---**
There's a village!
**[02:56] ---**
Is that Saugues?
**[03:00] ---**
It's so beautiful.
**[03:02] ---**
It somehow reminds me of Averoigne.
**[03:06] ---**
Hey, Noé.
**[03:08] ---**
Why have you been so chipper
since we boarded this wagon?
**[03:11] ---**
Me? Why have *you* looked
like you're on death's door?
**[03:14] ---**
I'm freezing!
**[03:16] ---**
Hmph, that's just sad.
**[03:18] ---**
Shut it. Unlike you people,
I'm a highly sensitive person.
**[03:23] ---**
And what are you information
peddlers doing here anyway?
**[03:27] ---**
Who cares? It's no skin off your nose.
**[03:30] ---**
We just want to collect
information we can sell.
**[03:33] ---**
Precisely.
**[03:35] ---**
And then there was that
thing with the Chasseurs.
**[03:39] ---**
I wasn't satisfied
**[03:40] ---**
till I clobbered those enhanced humans or
whatever they were that worked me over.
**[03:46] ---**
Oh, Dante, you're so sweet.
**[03:49] ---**
You wanted to murder that
heinous villain who broke my arm?
**[03:55] ---**
No doubt they're here
to gather information,
**[03:59] ---**
but they likely have
ulterior motives as well.
**[04:02] ---**
We'll stow our things at the inn,
then head to where the bodies were found.
**[04:07] ---**
I want to look for signs
of the Beast before dark.
**[04:11] ---**
Of course.
**[04:18] ---**
Here in Gévaudan in the 18th century,
**[04:21] ---**
the Beast brutally ripped over
100 women and children to shreds.
**[04:26] ---**
Its large maw was twisted,
and its ears pointed.
**[04:30] ---**
It had sharp claws and
a body covered in red fur.
**[04:33] ---**
It is said to have
resembled an enormous wolf.
**[04:36] ---**
Is there really such a beast
here in the Silver Forest?
**[04:40] ---**
It's not just the Beast.
**[04:42] ---**
What?
**[04:43] ---**
A witch of tremendous power
is also said to dwell here.
**[04:49] ---**
A witch?
**[04:50] ---**
Vanitas, you believe the Beast of Gévaudan
**[04:53] ---**
may very well be a
curse-bearing vampire, don't you?
**[04:56] ---**
So the legends say.
**[04:58] ---**
Then I imagine that curse-bearer and
witch must be connected in some manner.
**[05:03] ---**
Who knows?
**[05:05] ---**
All I can say is there may be a
curse-bearer, and that's why I'm here.
**[05:12] ---**
Wh-What was that creepy sound?!
**[05:15] ---**
I believe that was a bird.
**[05:19] ---**
The scent of the forest air
**[05:21] ---**
brings back memories.
**[05:23] ---**
Domi and I used to play
in the forest all the time.
**[05:26] ---**
Tree nuts!
**[05:28] ---**
Stick close to me.
**[05:29] ---**
Look, Vanitas.
They're the kind you can eat!
**[05:36] ---**
Hmph, you're having
more fun than I thought.
**[05:40] ---**
What?
**[05:41] ---**
With him.
**[05:43] ---**
You being who you are,
**[05:44] ---**
I thought you two would go your
separate ways when things went south.
**[05:49] ---**
I tried, but that fool was waiting
when I tried to give him the slip.
**[05:55] ---**
What's this?
**[05:58] ---**
Your special someone is the heroic type?
**[06:00] ---**
I *will* murder you, baldy!
**[06:07] ---**
Johann, don't let Noé out of your sight.
**[06:09] ---**
He'll vanish the moment
you're not looking.
**[06:12] ---**
I know. He vanished just like that!
It's quite impressive.
**[06:16] ---**
Noé!
**[06:20] ---**
I'm so glad I found it.
**[06:23] ---**
Bad Murr! We must stick with the others!
**[06:29] ---**
Huh?
**[06:33] ---**
They're all gone, just like that.
**[06:38] ---**
Could this be the power
of the woods witch?
**[06:45] ---**
Oh my, dear Noé's nowhere to be found.
**[07:02] ---**
Snow?
**[07:06] ---**
What the devil?! It's freezing!
**[07:08] ---**
Oh no, Dante. This is *not* good.
**[07:13] ---**
Sweet Vanitas isn't breathing!
**[07:16] ---**
Hey, Quack! Snap out of it!
**[07:20] ---**
Quiet! Someone's coming.
**[07:22] ---**
A trespasser?
**[07:23] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:24] ---**
She claims to be with the Church,
but something doesn't seem right.
**[07:29] ---**
I'm on my way to report
it to Monsieur Antoine.
**[07:32] ---**
Forget about trespassers.
**[07:34] ---**
Find the Beast now!
**[07:36] ---**
We shall slay the fiend and present
its corpse before His Majesty!
**[07:41] ---**
What's with their getup?
**[07:43] ---**
Who's "His Majesty"?
**[07:45] ---**
They're dragoons.
**[07:47] ---**
During the 18th century attacks,
**[07:49] ---**
King Louis XV ordered his dragoons
to investigate sightings of the Beast.
**[07:54] ---**
Antoine was the name of
the king's First Musketeer.
**[07:59] ---**
What? Hold on.
**[08:01] ---**
You make it sound like
we traveled back in time.
**[08:06] ---**
It seems fate has dealt us a vexing hand.
**[08:14] ---**
What's that?
**[08:16] ---**
I don't like this!
**[08:40] ---**
There it is.
**[08:43] ---**
It's here!
**[08:44] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan!
**[08:47] ---**
What the hell?!
No one said it was *that* big!
**[08:54] ---**
Did they kill it?!
**[08:57] ---**
No.
**[09:11] ---**
Guns don't kill it?
**[09:13] ---**
It heals too fast.
**[09:15] ---**
A red-eyed beast.
**[09:17] ---**
A woods witch.
**[09:18] ---**
The 18th-century killings.
**[09:20] ---**
The rewinding of time.
**[09:24] ---**
We're in the past?
**[09:25] ---**
If not, then what?
**[09:27] ---**
A malnomen? But which one?!
**[09:32] ---**
The devil take him!
**[09:33] ---**
Why'd he have to vanish now?!
**[09:35] ---**
Where is that idiot?!
**[09:46] ---**
Jeanne?
**[09:57] ---**
H-Help!
**[10:07] ---**
What's this?
**[10:23] ---**
I remember you.
**[10:25] ---**
Did we not meet at the station in Paris?
**[10:28] ---**
Who *are* you?
**[10:29] ---**
My name is Astolfo.
**[10:31] ---**
I am the 12th Paladin and have been
honored with the title of Garnet.
**[10:36] ---**
Pleased to meet you, monsieur.
**[10:40] ---**
Why did you kill him?
**[10:43] ---**
You're a Chasseur.
**[10:45] ---**
So why kill humans--
**[10:46] ---**
These men mistook me for a woman.
**[10:50] ---**
What?
**[10:51] ---**
What's more, they would
not listen to a word I said.
**[10:54] ---**
I warned them three times,
yet they still laid hands upon me.
**[10:58] ---**
In short, it was an act of self-defense.
**[11:03] ---**
Also, you seem to be mistaken.
**[11:06] ---**
Protecting humans is not part
of a Chasseur's job description.
**[11:10] ---**
We hunt vampires.
**[11:13] ---**
Have I made myself clear, monsieur?
**[11:20] ---**
Eyes of red.
**[11:21] ---**
I wasn't sure till now.
**[11:23] ---**
You're a vampire!
**[11:29] ---**
What is the matter?
Why don't you fight back?
**[11:33] ---**
He enjoys this.
**[11:35] ---**
The battle, the bloodshed.
**[11:41] ---**
He's nothing like Roland
and the other Chasseurs!
**[11:47] ---**
He's still alive.
**[11:52] ---**
Bah! You were not satisfied
with simply impeding my work?
**[11:58] ---**
Now you wish to spoil my fun?
**[12:03] ---**
That I cannot forgive.
**[12:06] ---**
You deserve 10,000 deaths.
**[12:11] ---**
What is...
**[12:15] ---**
What is wrong with you?!
**[12:18] ---**
Ready to fight now, are we?
**[12:24] ---**
Take that!
**[12:32] ---**
Now my Louisette shall claim your head!
**[12:44] ---**
Noé!
**[12:50] ---**
You all right, chum?
**[12:52] ---**
There you are, Sweet Noé!
**[12:55] ---**
Jeanne, wait!
Don't kill the Beast, not yet!
**[12:58] ---**
I must do this.
**[13:02] ---**
I failed to slay you here
in Gévaudan so long ago.
**[13:09] ---**
Now die!
**[13:22] ---**
Jeanne?! Why is *she* here?
**[13:25] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan.
**[13:28] ---**
And that vampire. Could it truly be...
**[13:32] ---**
...the Hellfire Witch?!
**[13:36] ---**
What a splendid day this is!
**[13:39] ---**
To think I'd bear witness
to not only the Beast,
**[13:42] ---**
but Lord Ruthven's bourreau, too!
**[13:47] ---**
Stay still, Noé. Your wounds will--
**[13:49] ---**
No, I have some fight left in me.
**[13:57] ---**
I have a score to settle with him.
**[14:00] ---**
Unknot your knickers.
**[14:03] ---**
What?
**[14:05] ---**
That little runt is formidable?
**[14:09] ---**
Even more than Roland?
**[14:10] ---**
No way in hell!
**[14:12] ---**
Roland was far more terrifying!
**[14:14] ---**
That kid has nothing on him!
**[14:16] ---**
Then why are you all beat up?
**[14:20] ---**
Did you believe he would
listen to reason like Roland?
**[14:25] ---**
Or did you hold back because
he seemed more like a little girl?
**[14:31] ---**
Listen to me, Noé.
**[14:33] ---**
You're all worked up, and it's keeping you
from performing at your usual level.
**[14:41] ---**
I'm the right man for the job.
**[14:48] ---**
Here is the proper course of action!
**[14:51] ---**
What?! A Chasseur paladin is here?!
**[14:56] ---**
C-C-Could it be Roland the Jasper?!
**[15:02] ---**
What? It's not?
**[15:03] ---**
It's Astolfo the Garnet?
**[15:05] ---**
Who the heck is that?
**[15:07] ---**
Sorry, never heard of him!
**[15:11] ---**
But what a relief!
**[15:13] ---**
We'd have been as good as dead
if it had been Roland the Jasper!
**[15:17] ---**
But we might have a chance
against a little girl!
**[15:20] ---**
This really is good news!
**[15:22] ---**
What? You're kidding?
**[15:24] ---**
He's a boy? Seriously?! No way!
**[15:32] ---**
Roland?
**[15:34] ---**
Are you saying that
buffoon is better than me?
**[15:38] ---**
That was easy.
**[15:39] ---**
Um, Vanitas?
**[15:41] ---**
That is my specialty.
**[15:44] ---**
You stop Jeanne.
**[15:46] ---**
If the Beast truly is a curse-bearer
that has changed form,
**[15:50] ---**
its malnomen has yet to be discovered.
**[15:53] ---**
We can't have anyone slaying it,
whether they be a Chasseur or a bourreau.
**[16:00] ---**
I'm here to save vampires.
**[16:03] ---**
Aren't you?
**[16:07] ---**
You know
**[16:09] ---**
I am!
**[16:11] ---**
Chloé! I know it's you!
**[16:15] ---**
Chloé!
**[16:22] ---**
This time, I *will* slay you!
**[16:30] ---**
You mustn't.
**[16:31] ---**
Noé?
**[16:32] ---**
Please, Jeanne.
**[16:34] ---**
Don't slay the Beast. Not yet.
**[16:37] ---**
You must know by now.
**[16:44] ---**
Vanitas may be able
to save that curse-bearer.
**[16:50] ---**
Save her?
**[16:53] ---**
I cannot allow that.
**[16:55] ---**
I'm here as a bourreau. It is my
duty to execute curse-bearers.
**[17:00] ---**
And if you insist on impeding me,
**[17:03] ---**
I will slay you, too!
**[17:06] ---**
What? Is that all you've got?
**[17:08] ---**
The Chasseurs must really be shorthanded
**[17:11] ---**
if they're hiring such
boneheaded paladins.
**[17:15] ---**
But that's not it, is it?
**[17:17] ---**
In your case, your family
connections got you in,
**[17:20] ---**
Astolfo Granatum.
**[17:23] ---**
I hear the ties are strong between
House Granatum and the Church.
**[17:27] ---**
You must have begged your
father to get where you are.
**[17:30] ---**
"Please, Daddy. I really
wanna be a paladin."
**[17:35] ---**
"Isn't there something you could do?"
**[17:38] ---**
Come on, I'm dying to know.
**[17:41] ---**
How much did it cost Daddy to buy
your seat at the paladin table?
**[17:48] ---**
Don't you dare denigrate my father!
**[17:56] ---**
How delightful.
**[17:59] ---**
How very delightful!
**[18:04] ---**
Would you mind?
**[18:08] ---**
May I join the fun?
**[18:16] ---**
What's that?!
**[18:37] ---**
Charlatan.
**[18:41] ---**
So, we meet again, Noé.
**[18:47] ---**
Naenia.
**[18:52] ---**
Wh-What in heaven's name is this?
**[18:55] ---**
Big Brother, help me.
**[18:59] ---**
Big Brother.
**[19:01] ---**
Big Brother.
**[19:19] ---**
Dante, don't get drawn into their world!
**[19:26] ---**
The Beast is gone.
**[19:29] ---**
Where could it be?
**[19:34] ---**
Jeanne, our darling daughter.
**[19:50] ---**
I will kill you.
**[19:51] ---**
You and every last vampire.
**[19:54] ---**
I'll slaughter all of you!
**[20:12] ---**
I'm sick of this.
**[20:25] ---**
Let's put an end to
this revolting spectacle.
**[21:33] ---**
There you are.
**[21:36] ---**
Let us return to the castle, Chloé.
**[21:50] ---**
My leg hurts too much to walk.
**[21:55] ---**
Carry me.
**[21:57] ---**

**[00:09] ---**
Um... Vanitas?
**[00:14] ---**
Wouldn't it be better to lie down?
**[00:18] ---**
We only have one blanket, so...
**[00:22] ---**
I'll join you.
**[00:30] ---**
No.
**[00:31] ---**
Truth be told, I'm at my limit
in so many ways.
**[00:35] ---**
Really?

"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:22] ---**
Vanitas!
**[02:26] ---**
Jeanne.
**[02:32] ---**
That wound...
**[02:36] ---**
You were poisoned?
**[02:38] ---**
I must suck it out of you at once!
**[02:40] ---**
It's already been dealt with.
**[02:42] ---**
Yes, but...!
**[02:45] ---**
Don't touch me.
**[02:47] ---**
You've come for the Beast, haven't you?
**[02:51] ---**
So go. Pay me no mind.
**[02:57] ---**
How could I possibly leave you like this?
**[03:10] ---**
It should be up ahead.
**[03:21] ---**
One moment while I light a fire.
**[03:24] ---**
Damn it all. This couldn't get any worse.
**[03:28] ---**
That infernal brat. I will slaughter
him the next time we meet.
**[03:32] ---**
Damn him.
**[03:42] ---**
Good. This will provide some warmth.
**[03:46] ---**
Now, Vanitas!
**[03:50] ---**
Disrobe!
**[03:51] ---**
*Quoi?!*
**[03:53] ---**
Don't give me that.
**[03:55] ---**
Your clothes are damp from the snow.
**[03:58] ---**
You'll never warm up like that.
**[04:00] ---**
You're asking me to strip naked? Here?
**[04:02] ---**
That's right. You don't
mind if I help, do you?
**[04:05] ---**
No! Wait!
**[04:06] ---**
I see!
**[04:07] ---**
You wish to warm me with
your bare body next to mine!
**[04:12] ---**
What's gotten into you?
You're quite forward today.
**[04:15] ---**
That's right!
**[04:16] ---**
*Quoi?!*
**[04:20] ---**
Dial it down, Jeanne! This isn't like you!
**[04:23] ---**
Have a little modesty!
**[04:24] ---**
Quit your yapping!
**[04:26] ---**
Lives are on the line!
**[04:28] ---**
Now let me remove your clothes!
**[04:34] ---**
Yes, ma'am.
**[04:37] ---**
Huh? Vanitas?!
**[04:51] ---**
He has scars all over his body.
**[04:57] ---**
Don't.
**[05:00] ---**
Leave that glove on.
**[05:03] ---**
As you wish.
**[05:25] ---**
Forgive me, Vanitas.
**[05:28] ---**
It's my fault
**[05:30] ---**
this happened to you.
**[05:37] ---**
Are you referring to this wound?
**[05:40] ---**
Or do you mean your battle with the Beast?
**[05:45] ---**
Both.
**[05:47] ---**
Who is Chloé?
**[05:51] ---**
Do you know who the Beast really is?
**[06:04] ---**
My parents were Lord Ruthven's students.
**[06:09] ---**
When I was little, we would all
travel together to all sorts of places.
**[06:15] ---**
Once, I was left in the
care of Marquis d'Apchier
**[06:20] ---**
at his castle in Gévaudan.
**[06:26] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Jeanne. I am--
**[06:29] ---**
It's a talking doll!
**[06:42] ---**
There dwells the vampire
hidden away by Marquis d'Apchier,
**[06:47] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier.
**[06:49] ---**
A vampire whose existence was hidden,
yet continued to live among humankind.
**[06:57] ---**
She looked like a young girl,
**[07:00] ---**
but Chloé was a vampire who had
lived even longer than Lord Ruthven.
**[07:05] ---**
She taught me many things,
including lessons and games.
**[07:11] ---**
It was as if I had a big sister.
I was so happy.
**[07:14] ---**
Each day was truly a joy.
**[07:19] ---**
I don't wanna go home yet.
**[07:28] ---**
Come visit me in Gévaudan again.
**[07:31] ---**
I'll look forward to the day
when I can see how you've grown.
**[07:42] ---**
But when we did meet once more,
**[07:46] ---**
I was a bourreau sent to slay her,
**[07:48] ---**
for she was now the
one known as the Beast.
**[07:52] ---**
Bourreaus are but tools.
**[07:54] ---**
We need only follow orders.
**[07:57] ---**
"I don't understand."
**[07:59] ---**
"Why you?" I thought.
**[08:01] ---**
But I was not supposed
to harbor such doubts.
**[08:05] ---**
So I hesitated.
**[08:08] ---**
I was unable to slay her.
**[08:12] ---**
And so...
**[08:14] ---**
I beg you. Allow me to go
once more, Lord Ruthven.
**[08:17] ---**
If the Beast that has
appeared truly is Chloé,
**[08:20] ---**
it is my responsibility.
**[08:25] ---**
I will not make the same mistake again.
**[08:30] ---**
I *will* slay the Beast this time.
**[08:35] ---**
So, that's why you're here?
**[08:38] ---**
Truly?
**[08:44] ---**
Vanitas?
**[08:46] ---**
It's not as if you bear any
hatred toward her, do you?
**[08:53] ---**
You're feverish!
**[08:56] ---**
I'll fetch some water.
**[08:58] ---**
Yes.
**[08:59] ---**
It wasn't hatred.
**[09:03] ---**
It wasn't.
**[09:06] ---**
I...
**[09:09] ---**
Vanitas.
**[09:10] ---**
Lou...
**[09:17] ---**
Lou?
**[09:18] ---**
What does he mean? Is that someone's name?
**[09:24] ---**
Vanitas, you need to drink.
**[09:27] ---**
You'll get dehydrated if you don't.
**[09:30] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[09:31] ---**
You want to slay the Beast,
and I want to save it.
**[09:36] ---**
We're at cross-purposes,
and that makes us foes.
**[09:42] ---**
Killing me right here may
be in your best interest.
**[09:47] ---**
How could I possibly do that after
you nearly died defending me?!
**[09:52] ---**
You're so naive. You truly are.
**[09:55] ---**
That is why you two,
both you and Noé are...
**[10:05] ---**
Enough.
**[10:07] ---**
If you want me to kill you so badly,
focus on resting while you can.
**[10:15] ---**
Jeanne--
**[10:36] ---**
Hmm?
**[10:38] ---**
It's morning.
**[10:43] ---**
Vanitas?!
**[10:47] ---**
Whatever shall we do if something
has happened to Dante?!
**[10:50] ---**
Calm yourself.
**[10:51] ---**
How, pray tell?!
**[10:58] ---**
I've seen him before. He was with Vanitas.
**[11:05] ---**
Vanitas.
**[11:07] ---**
You're well enough to be up and about.
**[11:10] ---**
What a relief.
**[11:12] ---**
I'm so relieved you're...
**[11:24] ---**
Come to think of it, even if
I simply wished to warm his body,
**[11:28] ---**
I-I-I was almost entirely
naked right next to him!
**[11:32] ---**
I forced him to disrobe against his will!
**[11:34] ---**
And then I forced him
to drink from my mouth!
**[11:38] ---**
That makes me...
**[11:40] ---**
...a total pervert!
**[11:41] ---**
No! This was different!
**[11:43] ---**
I'm the reason he was poisoned!
**[11:46] ---**
As thanks for saving me...
**[11:49] ---**
No! I cannot *ever* be in such a man's debt.
**[11:53] ---**
What really happened yesterday
was a bid to save his life,
**[11:56] ---**
and nothing more!
**[11:58] ---**
However...
**[12:02] ---**
Vanitas looked so dismayed.
**[12:05] ---**
I'd never seen him like that.
**[12:08] ---**
Unlike his usual arrogance,
**[12:10] ---**
I found his vulnerability
refreshing for some reason.
**[12:14] ---**
Dare I say it was adorable?
**[12:16] ---**
Silly me!
**[12:19] ---**
What are you thinking?!
**[12:21] ---**
It's the perfect chance, Jeanne!
**[12:23] ---**
Vanitas would never wish to be
seen like that if he could help it!
**[12:27] ---**
That means I now have him at my mercy.
**[12:32] ---**
Now then, today's the day the tide turns.
**[12:36] ---**
I want you to recall how I took
advantage of you last night,
**[12:39] ---**
then see you get your knickers in a knot!
**[12:44] ---**
Good morning, Vanitas!
**[12:46] ---**
Feeling all better now?
**[12:49] ---**
Jeanne, I thought you'd never wake up.
**[12:58] ---**
What's with you?
Got your knickers in a knot?
**[13:01] ---**
He's back to normal? He totally is!
**[13:04] ---**
Maybe even a bit more terse than usual!
**[13:07] ---**
What? Something bad happen to you?
**[13:11] ---**
None of your business.
**[13:13] ---**
You're... human?
**[13:18] ---**
No, a vampire!
**[13:20] ---**
Wrong again. I'm a dham.
**[13:25] ---**
Sorry. I've been out of sorts ever
since I was separated from my partner.
**[13:30] ---**
Johann!
**[13:33] ---**
Dante!
**[13:34] ---**
Thank heavens!
**[13:36] ---**
How would I ever be able to apologize
to Riche if something happened to you?!
**[13:39] ---**
Shut up, already! You're not my keeper!
**[13:42] ---**
Nice work finding us here, baldy.
**[13:44] ---**
I just followed that
wisp of chimney smoke.
**[13:47] ---**
All that's left is Noé.
**[13:49] ---**
Where the devil is that fool?
**[13:52] ---**
He was taken away.
**[13:55] ---**
I believe it was the Silver Witch.
**[13:59] ---**
After *The Book of Vanitas* went flying...
**[14:15] ---**
I couldn't follow them any farther.
**[14:18] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:19] ---**
I see.
**[14:21] ---**
So they have my book.
**[14:23] ---**
You care more about
a book than your partner?!
**[14:26] ---**
Why should I have
to worry about that fool?
**[14:30] ---**
His sturdiness is his saving grace.
**[14:32] ---**
He won't kick the bucket so easily.
**[14:35] ---**
I hope you're right.
**[14:47] ---**
Captain! Captain Astolfo!
**[14:52] ---**
Marco?
**[14:53] ---**
At last I've found you!
Are you all right?!
**[14:57] ---**
I begged you to refrain
from acting on your own.
**[15:02] ---**
Where are you going?
**[15:04] ---**
Huh?! Are you a complete fool?
**[15:08] ---**
Why do you think I came
to this godforsaken place?
**[15:13] ---**
Now, let's go.
**[15:16] ---**
The witch's castle awaits.
**[15:18] ---**
Well then, I assume we'll go after them?
**[15:22] ---**
Yes. But before that...
**[15:28] ---**
Let's hear everything you've
been hiding from me, Dante.
**[15:33] ---**
I paid for what you claimed
to be *all* the information
**[15:36] ---**
about the Beast of Gévaudan.
**[15:40] ---**
If there's anything therein
you've kept from me,
**[15:45] ---**
I no longer require your services.
**[15:50] ---**
Out with it.
**[15:51] ---**
Why are you, the vampires,
and the Church really after the Beast?
**[15:58] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[16:01] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan
is a curse-bearing vampire.
**[16:06] ---**
It's Chloé, and she's slain
a great many people.
**[16:09] ---**
That's why Lord Ruthven
and the Church want her head.
**[16:15] ---**
It's that simple, is it not?
**[16:17] ---**
Dante.
**[16:19] ---**
Our brief acquaintance is over.
**[16:21] ---**
No, wait!
**[16:23] ---**
Hey.
**[16:25] ---**
Lay a finger on any of my family,
and I *will* kill you.
**[16:30] ---**
Try me.
**[16:32] ---**
There will be two dim-witted
and dead dhams littering the snow.
**[16:39] ---**
Are you deaf?! I said, wait!
**[16:42] ---**
You, too, Johann!
**[16:43] ---**
But...!
**[16:45] ---**
Okay, relax. I'll talk.
**[16:51] ---**
All right.
**[16:52] ---**
Jeanne, do you think the
Silver Witch that Dante mentioned
**[16:56] ---**
is the Chloé you speak of?
**[16:59] ---**
Well, I believe so.
**[17:02] ---**
Then do you know where
they may have taken Noé?
**[17:06] ---**
I'd ask you to show us the way.
**[17:07] ---**
What?!
**[17:09] ---**
We may be at cross-purposes here.
**[17:11] ---**
But surely Dante's story
has pricked up your ears.
**[17:16] ---**
Bourreaus are but tools.
**[17:17] ---**
We need only follow orders.
**[17:20] ---**
I-I...
**[17:23] ---**
Wait. Why does the Hellfire Witch
know where that little brat lives?
**[17:27] ---**
Shut your piehole, baldy.
**[17:29] ---**
What?!
**[17:30] ---**
You can talk on the way.
**[17:33] ---**
Who put a bug up your butt?
**[17:35] ---**
I'm not annoyed with you or anyone else.
**[17:37] ---**
It's simply...
**[17:39] ---**
...time's a-wasting.
**[17:43] ---**
So that's it.
**[17:45] ---**
If he's worried about his partner,
he should just say so.
**[17:49] ---**
He's one twisted jerk.
**[18:05] ---**
Huh?! Who are you?!
**[18:17] ---**
Sucking blood without
consent is against the law!
**[18:21] ---**
Well now, you're finally awake.
**[18:26] ---**
I want more.
**[18:31] ---**
Give me my pillow back!
**[18:34] ---**
Give it back? But it's not even yours.
**[18:38] ---**
That's true, but you know what I meant!
**[18:41] ---**
I need but one more
mouthful of your blood.
**[18:46] ---**
As I said, sucking blood without consent--
**[18:48] ---**
What a noisy child you are.
**[18:51] ---**
I'm so weak I can't move.
Is it all that blood she drank?
**[18:59] ---**
This is bad. No, it's terrifying.
**[19:07] ---**
Chloé, it is wrong to suck the
blood of those who are unwilling.
**[19:14] ---**
Who's he?
**[19:15] ---**
Actually, right now, anyone will do.
**[19:17] ---**
I'm saved!
**[19:18] ---**
What I meant was,
**[19:20] ---**
it is wrong to suck the
blood of any man but me.
**[19:25] ---**
It's *very* wrong.
**[19:26] ---**
I'm so jealous I wish to strangle
to death the very man I just saved.
**[19:30] ---**
Oh my, you're jealous?
**[19:32] ---**
You say the most
adorable things, Jean-Jacques.
**[19:36] ---**
Well, how was it, Chloé?
**[19:40] ---**
I'm asking whose blood was
more delectable, his or mine?
**[19:45] ---**
Don't be silly. Of course,
yours tastes better.
**[19:50] ---**
Really?
**[19:52] ---**
I see. Then we have no problem here.
**[19:55] ---**
Silly boy.
**[19:58] ---**
Ouch!
**[19:59] ---**
Murr?!
**[20:01] ---**
That cat is yours?
**[20:03] ---**
We found it wandering the mountain,
so we brought him home with you.
**[20:08] ---**
I dried and mended your clothes.
**[20:11] ---**
Come down once you've changed.
**[20:18] ---**
What a fine fellow!
**[20:22] ---**
Chloé and Jean-Jacques.
**[20:26] ---**
Chloé?!
**[20:28] ---**
Chloé!
**[20:29] ---**
That child is the Beast?!
**[20:37] ---**
I hope Vanitas and the others are safe.
**[20:40] ---**
For now, I'll hear what
those two have to say.
**[20:45] ---**
Everything else can wait.
**[21:04] ---**
Pardon me.
**[21:18] ---**
Automatons?
**[21:20] ---**
No, automated instruments?
**[21:24] ---**
Do come in, young man.
**[21:30] ---**
Let me introduce you, Herman.
**[21:33] ---**
The boy's name is Noé.
**[21:35] ---**
We found him collapsed amid the blizzard,
so we brought him home.
**[21:40] ---**
How do you know my name?
**[21:44] ---**
I learned your name... from her.
**[21:48] ---**
Now, sit, Noé.
**[21:51] ---**
Let us all enjoy a meal together.
**[21:54] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Naenia!
**[00:03] ---**
Get away from her, now!
**[00:07] ---**
Naenia?
**[00:09] ---**
Oh my, is that your name?
**[00:12] ---**
That's simply what they call me.
**[00:16] ---**
Is it now?
**[00:19] ---**
Never mind that. Sit.
**[00:21] ---**
The food is here, Noé.
**[00:32] ---**
What *is* this?
**[00:35] ---**
She...
**[00:37] ---**
No, that *thing*...
**[00:40] ---**
It took Louis from me!
**[00:43] ---**
Mademoiselle Chloé.
**[00:45] ---**
Are you the Beast of Gévaudan?
**[00:49] ---**
Rumor has it, the Beast
is a curse-bearing vampire.
**[00:54] ---**
If so, then that thing, Naenia,
has robbed you of your true name.
**[01:00] ---**
How can you sit right
next to her with a smile?
**[01:05] ---**
Because it is what I wanted.
**[01:09] ---**
What?
**[01:11] ---**
It was the price for my wish.
**[01:14] ---**
I became a curse-bearer
of my own free will.
**[01:18] ---**
For a wish?
**[01:21] ---**
That's right.
**[01:23] ---**
There are some names
I'm just dying to have.
**[01:26] ---**
But with vampires as powerful as Chloé,
**[01:30] ---**
I can't simply take their names by force.
**[01:34] ---**
So I politely ask,
**[01:37] ---**
"Would you give me your
true name if I grant you a wish?"
**[01:43] ---**
The same is true for you, Noé.
**[01:46] ---**
I've tried so many times but
have failed to obtain your true name.
**[01:51] ---**
You're quite the challenge.
**[01:54] ---**
That is why I must ask you, too.
**[01:58] ---**
Tell me, Noé.
**[02:00] ---**
What wish is worth the price
of giving me your true name?
**[02:06] ---**
Did you...?
**[02:09] ---**
Did you say the same to Louis, too?
**[02:13] ---**
Louis, is there something I can do?
**[02:16] ---**
What can I do to help you?!
**[02:21] ---**
Noé...
**[02:23] ---**
I... am...
**[02:33] ---**
What the hell are you?!
**[02:35] ---**
What do you want?!
**[02:39] ---**
Why are you doing this?!
**[02:41] ---**
Why steal true names?!
**[02:43] ---**
Stop this!
**[02:44] ---**
Stop stealing them!
**[02:47] ---**
Give him back. Now!
**[02:51] ---**
Give Louis back to Domi and me!
**[03:04] ---**
Listen to me.
**[03:06] ---**
I don't care for children who waste food.
**[04:35] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[04:45] ---**
Why'd you have to do that?
**[04:48] ---**
Forgive me.
**[04:49] ---**
Chloé gets scary when she's mad.
**[04:51] ---**
Remember that.
**[04:52] ---**
Where is Mademoiselle Chloé now?
**[04:55] ---**
She's with that black shadow.
**[04:57] ---**
You should stay away for now.
**[04:59] ---**
I know, but...
**[05:01] ---**
We cannot allow her to
remain with that dangerous--
**[05:06] ---**
You dump food on the floor,
yet your stomach growls?
**[05:11] ---**
I truly am sorry.
**[05:16] ---**
This was left over.
**[05:17] ---**
You can help clean up.
**[05:30] ---**
Did you make this?
**[05:32] ---**
I did.
**[05:34] ---**
And you mended my clothes, too?!
**[05:37] ---**
That's right.
**[05:38] ---**
How extraordinary!
**[05:39] ---**
You're extraordinary, Jean-Jacques!
**[05:41] ---**
Is there nothing you can't do?
**[05:43] ---**
This is so delicious! It truly is!
**[05:47] ---**
R-Really?!
**[05:49] ---**
There's nothing extraordinary about it.
**[05:52] ---**
I've simply been tending
to Chloé's needs all this time.
**[05:55] ---**
I can't cook or sew to save my life.
**[05:58] ---**
Hat's off to you!
**[06:02] ---**
Listen, I wish to thank you, Jean-Jacques.
**[06:05] ---**
You saved Murr and me, but I never
expressed my gratitude till now.
**[06:09] ---**
I must beg your forgiveness once more.
**[06:12] ---**
I'd like to make a proper introduction.
**[06:16] ---**
My name is Noé.
**[06:18] ---**
What's the hand for?
**[06:20] ---**
Huh?
**[06:21] ---**
If you want more soup, get it yourself.
**[06:24] ---**
I wanted to shake your hand.
**[06:31] ---**
No one's ever asked to shake my hand.
**[06:42] ---**
How much do you know
about the House of d'Apchier?
**[06:46] ---**
Only what was in the dossier you gave me.
**[06:49] ---**
Their family line died out in
the aftermath of the Beast's rampage.
**[06:54] ---**
Yeah, but there's more.
**[06:57] ---**
The d'Apchiers were conducting
research on the World Formula,
**[07:01] ---**
even though the Church forbade it.
**[07:03] ---**
Their work produced the Alteration Engine,
a device for altering the World Formula.
**[07:08] ---**
That is what gave rise
to the Beast of Gévaudan.
**[07:12] ---**
So the question is what
should or can be done?
**[07:16] ---**
Is that why both vampires and
humans are so interested in this?
**[07:19] ---**
Most likely.
**[07:21] ---**
So, where did you hear all this?
**[07:24] ---**
Whose orders are you acting under?
**[07:29] ---**
Sir Francis Varney,
**[07:32] ---**
aka the Clockwork Fiend Marquis Machina.
**[07:35] ---**
I see.
**[07:37] ---**
Marquis Machina tasked me
with getting you involved in this,
**[07:41] ---**
no doubt because you are
a member of the Blue Moon Clan.
**[07:46] ---**
He also wants to know whether
the Alteration Engine really exists.
**[07:51] ---**
And if possible,
I'm to find it and bring it to him.
**[08:01] ---**
Herman d'Apchier,
the last head of the family,
**[08:05] ---**
his wife, their children,
and his siblings...
**[08:09] ---**
They are all dead.
**[08:11] ---**
The only remaining member
of the d'Apchiers is Chloé.
**[08:17] ---**
Jean-Jacques, how long has
Mademoiselle Chloé been here?
**[08:22] ---**
She was always here.
**[08:24] ---**
Long before the Beast of
Gévaudan reared its head,
**[08:27] ---**
Chloé was here watching over each
generation of the d'Apchier family.
**[08:33] ---**
Why are you and your people here?
**[08:36] ---**
Are you here to do Chloé harm?
**[08:39] ---**
My enemy is Naenia, not Chloé.
**[08:43] ---**
Yet you seek to take that
black shadow away from her.
**[08:47] ---**
Naturally!
**[08:49] ---**
Who knows what might happen to
Mademoiselle Chloé if nothing is done?
**[08:53] ---**
Van-- I mean, my traveling
companion may have the power
**[08:57] ---**
to restore Chloé's true name.
**[09:00] ---**
I will bring him here and--
**[09:01] ---**
To do what?
**[09:04] ---**
Are you sure it's a good idea to
leave Noé and that boy together?
**[09:09] ---**
Yes, it is a rare opportunity.
**[09:12] ---**
Jean-Jacques should have a friend or two.
**[09:18] ---**
Chloé said it was her choice
to have her true name taken.
**[09:23] ---**
She had been crying every day
until that shadow appeared.
**[09:28] ---**
There was nothing I could do.
**[09:31] ---**
I absolutely can't stand when someone
touches what's mine without asking.
**[09:38] ---**
You're very mature, aren't you?
**[09:41] ---**
Not at all.
**[09:44] ---**
If that is what Chloé wishes,
**[09:47] ---**
and it keeps her from weeping,
I'll make peace with it.
**[09:52] ---**
I shall be with Chloé till the very end,
even if it means oblivion.
**[09:59] ---**
You may not see it,
but I am a terribly jealous woman.
**[10:11] ---**
The scars left by Babel
finally began to fade
**[10:15] ---**
in the latter half of the 16th century.
**[10:18] ---**
Listen to me, Chloé.
**[10:20] ---**
No one outside these walls must
ever learn that you are a vampire.
**[10:27] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[10:28] ---**
I awoke one day to
find that I was a vampire.
**[10:32] ---**
I believe once Babel rendered
the World Formula unstable,
**[10:35] ---**
it began having an effect
on this world, too.
**[10:40] ---**
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
**[10:44] ---**
I *will* make you human again.
**[10:49] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[10:52] ---**
My body stopped aging after I turned 11.
**[10:57] ---**
People were told that Chloé
d'Apchier had fallen ill and died.
**[11:01] ---**
From that day, the d'Apchiers'
Vampire was hidden away.
**[11:05] ---**
At our castle deep in the mountains,
**[11:10] ---**
my father gathered renowned mages
and alchemists to study the World Formula.
**[11:17] ---**
Don't worry. It will be all right, Chloé.
**[11:23] ---**
I will make you human again.
**[11:34] ---**
Make Chloé d'Apchier human again...
**[11:37] ---**
My father's last wish gradually
transformed with the passage of time.
**[11:44] ---**
Unlocking the mysteries
of the World Formula
**[11:47] ---**
and laying hands upon that which
had only been within God's power
**[11:51] ---**
became the House of
d'Apchier's ardent wish.
**[11:55] ---**
I was witness to it all.
**[11:57] ---**
I watched over them.
**[12:00] ---**
I lived among generations of d'Apchiers.
**[12:05] ---**
So you're the legendary Chloé d'Apchier?
**[12:10] ---**
You're a vampire, aren't you?
**[12:14] ---**
In this day and age,
**[12:15] ---**
you should not let that word so
readily pass your lips, young lady.
**[12:20] ---**
Forgive me.
**[12:21] ---**
You are no longer of the age where
"mademoiselle" is fitting... madame.
**[12:29] ---**
He introduced himself as August.
**[12:31] ---**
I had never met another vampire before.
**[12:36] ---**
A key element in
researching the World Formula
**[12:39] ---**
is what to use as the
medium for tampering with it.
**[12:43] ---**
The d'Apchier family
chose sound as their medium.
**[12:46] ---**
I see.
**[12:48] ---**
You came without even knowing that?
**[12:50] ---**
Does your ignorance know no bounds, boy?
**[12:56] ---**
Forgive me. Was it rude not
to address you as monsieur?
**[13:03] ---**
Bravo, Chloé!
**[13:05] ---**
I believe we shall be fine friends!
**[13:07] ---**
Friends?
**[13:08] ---**
If an Alteration Engine that rewrites
the World Formula is truly possible,
**[13:14] ---**
we could turn this world
toward a brighter future!
**[13:18] ---**
The world?
**[13:22] ---**
This castle and the mountains of
Gévaudan surrounding it had been my world.
**[13:27] ---**
I knew nothing of the world beyond
that and had not given it any thought.
**[13:34] ---**
Outside these walls,
**[13:36] ---**
vampires are locked in a violent struggle
with humans, or should I say, the Church.
**[13:41] ---**
Throughout the land,
Vampires are being hunted down.
**[13:44] ---**
Even humans are being tortured
to death over mere suspicions.
**[13:50] ---**
In the eyes of the Church, vampires
are an abomination worthy only of death.
**[13:55] ---**
Whose side are you on,
the vampires or humans?
**[14:00] ---**
I'm on neither side.
**[14:03] ---**
Listen to me, Chloé.
**[14:05] ---**
I am just as fond of vampires
as I am of humans.
**[14:10] ---**
That is why I seek to end the
struggle between them at all costs.
**[14:14] ---**
That is all I wish.
**[14:19] ---**
He spoke his mind in his own words.
**[14:22] ---**
I envied him for that.
**[14:25] ---**
In time, my friend went away,
**[14:27] ---**
and I found myself
eagerly awaiting his return.
**[14:32] ---**
My name is Jeanne! It's nice to meet you!
**[14:35] ---**
There is an assembly I wish
to attend with this child's parents.
**[14:39] ---**
I'd like to place her
in your care for now.
**[14:46] ---**
Stop that, Jeanne!
**[14:48] ---**
Come back. We mustn't be outside.
**[14:50] ---**
I spotted a most wonderful
place from my window.
**[14:54] ---**
Let's go together, Chloé!
**[15:01] ---**
No, wait.
**[15:19] ---**
Jeanne?! Where are you?!
**[15:26] ---**
Got you!
**[15:51] ---**
It was the first time
I ignored my father's bidding
**[15:54] ---**
and was embraced by the
scents of earth, wind, and flowers.
**[15:58] ---**
It was the first time I saw the
sky so big, blue, and beautiful.
**[16:03] ---**
Everything about that day
was so extraordinarily new.
**[16:13] ---**
I'll look forward to the day when
I can see how you've grown, Jeanne.
**[16:18] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[16:26] ---**
So it was that August took
Jeanne back to her parents.
**[16:31] ---**
I haven't heard from her since.
**[16:38] ---**
I worried that something
had happened to her,
**[16:42] ---**
but I could not go see her.
**[16:47] ---**
I cannot abandon my family.
**[16:50] ---**
Even though humankind
may very well abandon you?
**[16:58] ---**
Chloé.
**[17:03] ---**
August!
**[17:08] ---**
Chloé, how fares your research?
**[17:11] ---**
What?
**[17:12] ---**
Is the Alteration Engine complete?
**[17:18] ---**
I was wrong.
**[17:21] ---**
I thought they could be reasoned with.
**[17:24] ---**
But they cannot.
I was wrong from the start.
**[17:28] ---**
As such, I must set things right.
**[17:32] ---**
But to do that, Chloé,
I shall need the d'Apchiers' research!
**[17:39] ---**
No.
**[17:40] ---**
You can't have it, August.
**[17:53] ---**
N-No, stop!
**[17:56] ---**
Don't do this, August!
**[18:03] ---**
Swear to me.
**[18:05] ---**
Swear you will use that power of yours,
the knowledge of d'Apchiers, as I command!
**[18:17] ---**
Begone from here, August!
**[18:20] ---**
Each head of the d'Apchier family
pinned his hope upon this research.
**[18:24] ---**
It is the whole reason I remain here!
**[18:40] ---**
Chloé, I...
**[18:48] ---**
That was when I lost
my very first friend forever.
**[18:55] ---**
I would later receive a letter from
one who claimed to be August's friend.
**[19:00] ---**
That was when I learned the war
between human and vampire kind was over.
**[19:06] ---**
The letter said the main architect
of the peace was August.
**[19:10] ---**
He had done all he could to
ascend all the way to the Senate.
**[19:14] ---**
It seems you achieved
your dearest wish, August.
**[19:18] ---**
So it was that I continued my
research alone, decade after decade.
**[19:31] ---**
I wonder if Jeanne is doing well.
**[19:35] ---**
This won't do. I mustn't lay about here.
**[19:38] ---**
I must complete the
Alteration Engine soon.
**[19:41] ---**
Then again, to what end?
**[19:44] ---**
Why do I do this?
**[19:46] ---**
You're lonely, aren't you?
**[19:48] ---**
You're so lonely, you can't help it.
**[19:50] ---**
You'd do anything to escape that.
**[19:53] ---**
It would have been better if you
had never known the outside world
**[19:58] ---**
or the beautiful blue sky.
**[20:00] ---**
That way, you would have
never known how alone you truly are.
**[20:05] ---**
You must've realized by now.
**[20:08] ---**
Gévaudan is a cage that locks you away.
**[20:11] ---**
You must destroy it
if you wish to end your solitude.
**[20:14] ---**
Stop.
**[20:15] ---**
--Bare your fangs, not your wings.
**[20:17] ---**
--Stop this.
--Bare your fangs, not your wings.
**[20:18] ---**
--Stop this.
--Don't be a little bird.
**[20:20] ---**
Become a beast.
**[20:22] ---**
Enough!
**[20:28] ---**
Jeanne?
**[20:36] ---**
Yes, that's right. Near Les Hubacs.
**[20:39] ---**
I heard a young maiden was killed.
**[20:42] ---**
They say her name was Jeanne.
**[20:45] ---**
Her entrails had been devoured,
perhaps by a wolf or some other beast.
**[20:54] ---**
No, that was just a nightmare.
**[20:59] ---**
Which one is the nightmare?
**[21:01] ---**
Me or the world in which you live?
**[21:08] ---**
Poor little Chloé, what is it you wish?
**[21:13] ---**
Lonely little Chloé,
what would you like to do?
**[21:16] ---**
--Enough.
**[21:17] ---**
--Tell me.
--Enough.
**[21:18] ---**
Enough.
**[21:20] ---**
What do you truly wish?
**[21:22] ---**
Enough!
**[21:26] ---**
At last, the time has come.
**[21:29] ---**
My wish will finally be granted.
**[21:44] ---**
So, you really will go
through with this, Chloé?
**[21:52] ---**
What the hell's that light?!
**[21:55] ---**
Now I have you, Chloé d'Apchier.
**[21:58] ---**

**[00:03] ---**
A trespasser?
**[00:05] ---**
Forget about trespassers.
**[00:07] ---**
Find the Beast now!
**[00:09] ---**
We shall slay the fiend and present
its corpse before His Majesty!
**[00:14] ---**
What the devil's this?
**[00:16] ---**
We saw the Beast slaughter them yesterday!
**[00:21] ---**
What the hell's happening?!
**[00:23] ---**
I think I understand.
**[00:24] ---**
It's a time loop.
**[00:27] ---**
And I know the malnomen.
**[00:28] ---**
This is a closed world
created by a curse-bearer.
**[00:33] ---**
Chloé.
**[00:44] ---**
Wow! I didn't know
that thing could do that!
**[00:48] ---**
Vanitas?!
**[00:49] ---**
All right, let's head
straight for the castle!
**[00:52] ---**
Don't be a fool. Get off!
**[00:54] ---**
I'm going to slay the Beast!
**[00:56] ---**
I know. And I'm going
to save the curse-bearer.
**[00:59] ---**
I repaid my debt to you.
If you persist in--
**[01:02] ---**
Are you sure?
**[01:03] ---**
This is what you wish?
**[01:06] ---**
I am a bourreau.
**[01:09] ---**
I must not cause any further trouble
for Master Luca and Lord Ruthven.
**[01:13] ---**
Whoa!
**[01:22] ---**
Now then, where could that fool be?
**[02:49] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[03:01] ---**
Wh-What was that shaking?
**[03:05] ---**
It's finally starting to work.
**[03:08] ---**
You put something in my food?
**[03:12] ---**
Jean-Jacques?
**[03:15] ---**
I'll likely try to kill you if you
keep getting in Chloé's way.
**[03:21] ---**
So sleep it off here
until the coast is clear.
**[03:30] ---**
Chloé told me.
**[03:32] ---**
You're not just a vampire.
You can also read memories via blood.
**[03:37] ---**
When I heard that, I had a thought.
**[03:39] ---**
A wish, if you will.
**[03:41] ---**
I wish for someone to remember us.
Even one person will do.
**[03:46] ---**
No. Please, wait.
**[03:48] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:06] ---**
Hmph!
**[04:08] ---**
Bring me my booze!
**[04:15] ---**
Is this one of Jean's memories?
**[04:22] ---**
Enough!
**[04:30] ---**
Who are you?
**[04:31] ---**
Oh, um...
**[04:33] ---**
My name's Jean.
**[04:35] ---**
Jean-Jacques Chastel.
**[04:38] ---**
A-Are you... the Silver Witch?
**[04:42] ---**
My grandma and grandpa
told me stories about you,
**[04:46] ---**
the little silver-haired witch
who appears in the forest.
**[04:51] ---**
I was wondering...
**[04:53] ---**
Eyes of red. Are you a vampire?
**[04:57] ---**
N-No, I'm...
**[05:07] ---**
Are you... just like me?
**[05:16] ---**
Another victim?
**[05:18] ---**
How horrible. How many dozens
of deaths does that make so far?
**[05:22] ---**
Someone claims to have seen a huge beast.
**[05:24] ---**
Rumor has it that Marquis d'Apchier has
long been meddling in uncanny research.
**[05:32] ---**
I heard his research is what created
the Silver Witch who haunts the forest.
**[05:37] ---**
They say the Beast is her familiar!
**[05:40] ---**
No! The Beast of Gévaudan is
none other than the witch herself!
**[05:45] ---**
No! It's not Chloé!
**[05:47] ---**
She's trying to protect you all by
discovering the Beast's true identity!
**[05:53] ---**
The Beast slew the marquis and his son.
**[05:58] ---**
Then the marquis's wife took her own life.
**[06:02] ---**
They're all dead because of me.
**[06:07] ---**
The d'Apchiers are gone
because they sheltered a vampire.
**[06:11] ---**
I was told...
**[06:12] ---**
...that I'm a monster.
**[06:17] ---**
You need not worry, Chloé.
**[06:20] ---**
You've done nothing wrong.
**[06:22] ---**
I'll stay by your side forever.
**[06:41] ---**
If only I were more powerful...
**[06:53] ---**
Did you hear?
**[06:54] ---**
A Chasseur and the Senate's bourreau
are here to hunt down the Beast.
**[06:58] ---**
The Beast has seen its final day!
**[07:06] ---**
Kill!
**[07:10] ---**
Kill the witch!
**[07:11] ---**
Kill the Beast of Gévaudan!
**[07:14] ---**
Kill!
**[07:20] ---**
Chloé was the only one
who would protect me.
**[07:24] ---**
The only one who needed me.
**[07:27] ---**
It is for her sake...
**[07:30] ---**
I must...
**[07:32] ---**
I must become far more powerful!
**[07:35] ---**
I must!
**[07:50] ---**
Jean-Jacques.
**[07:53] ---**
He's the Beast of Gévaudan.
**[07:58] ---**
Jean-Jacques, do you loathe this world?
**[08:02] ---**
I do.
**[08:04] ---**
I loathe the humans who scorn Chloé
and the vampires who abandoned her.
**[08:09] ---**
I'll devour them all.
**[08:10] ---**
This I vow.
**[08:21] ---**
What could that be?
**[08:28] ---**
It's Jean-Jacques.
**[08:31] ---**
He's such a kind boy, isn't he?
**[08:34] ---**
He gave me his pristine true name
in order to protect you.
**[08:39] ---**
After all, the only way to prove
that you're not the Beast
**[08:43] ---**
is for someone else to take its form.
**[08:57] ---**
You must flee, Chloé.
**[09:00] ---**
The Senate's bourreau...
**[09:03] ---**
...and the Hellfire Witch are after you.
**[09:06] ---**
The Senate?
**[09:10] ---**
August?
**[09:32] ---**
Jeanne.
**[09:38] ---**
So you're... the Hellfire Witch?
**[09:54] ---**
I'm so glad.
**[09:58] ---**
You finally returned for me.
**[10:02] ---**
Go on, quickly now.
**[10:04] ---**
There isn't much time.
**[10:06] ---**
Use your fangs, your talons,
your flames, and...
**[10:11] ---**
Well? Come on.
**[10:14] ---**
Quickly now!
**[10:28] ---**
I'll look forward to the day when
I can see how you've grown, Jeanne.
**[10:40] ---**
No. W-Wait!
**[10:43] ---**
Chloé!
**[10:53] ---**
I can make peace with this. I can.
**[10:56] ---**
Forgive me, Jean-Jacques.
**[11:00] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[11:07] ---**
Poor little Chloé.
**[11:10] ---**
You've done nothing wrong.
**[11:12] ---**
Yet the vampires and humans
have cast you away like rubbish.
**[11:17] ---**
Aren't you sad?
**[11:19] ---**
Aren't you bitter?
**[11:21] ---**
You don't wish to take
vengeance upon Gévaudan?
**[11:26] ---**
Yes, I'm bitter.
**[11:29] ---**
I will never ever forgive them.
**[11:33] ---**
I *will* have my vengeance!
**[11:47] ---**
Commence
**[11:49] ---**
calculation.
**[12:16] ---**
Chloé, do you know what I think?
**[12:20] ---**
Perhaps the Beast isn't even real.
**[12:24] ---**
Everyone is just terrified
for no good reason.
**[12:31] ---**
The hunt won't end
until the Beast is dead.
**[12:35] ---**
So I shall assume
the form you hunters seek!
**[12:42] ---**
Now, try to slay me if you can!
**[12:45] ---**
Slay me before I devour
every last one of you!
**[12:56] ---**
Father?
**[12:57] ---**
You were trouble enough
when you were a vampire.
**[13:00] ---**
And now I find you're the Beast.
**[13:04] ---**
But I can claim
a fine reward if I kill you.
**[13:09] ---**
You've proven yourself useful for
something in the end, Jean-Jacques!
**[13:21] ---**
It hurts.
**[13:22] ---**
Such terrible pain.
**[13:25] ---**
Help...
**[13:27] ---**
Somebody, please...
**[13:30] ---**
Light. I see light.
**[13:37] ---**
Hey.
**[13:39] ---**
Why are you about to kick
the bucket again, Noé?
**[13:44] ---**
Vanitas.
**[13:49] ---**
Is it truly you?
**[13:51] ---**
Is it?
**[13:54] ---**
Does this hurt?
**[13:56] ---**
Yes.
**[13:57] ---**
Welcome back to reality.
**[13:59] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:00] ---**
What the devil happened to you?
**[14:02] ---**
Someone slip you some bad medicine?
**[14:04] ---**
Yes, it would appear so.
**[14:08] ---**
Wait, seriously?
**[14:10] ---**
Are Dante and Jeanne with you?
**[14:12] ---**
Yes.
**[14:13] ---**
Is everyone okay?
**[14:14] ---**
Yes.
**[14:16] ---**
What a relief. I was so worried.
**[14:18] ---**
*You* were worried?! What about *me*?!
**[14:22] ---**
What?
**[14:23] ---**
Never mind!
**[14:24] ---**
What?
**[14:25] ---**
Enough about that!
**[14:27] ---**
Did you learn anything useful
while you were in the castle?
**[14:31] ---**
Youch!
**[14:33] ---**
Jeanne said Chloé d'Apchier is the Beast.
**[14:36] ---**
No! That's not true.
**[14:50] ---**
I see. The man you call
Jean-Jacques is the Beast.
**[14:55] ---**
And Chloé is a vampire who
willingly became a curse-bearer.
**[14:59] ---**
That's right.
**[15:00] ---**
However, they haven't killed
a single soul as far as I've seen.
**[15:07] ---**
Then this has all been in vain.
**[15:10] ---**
Her motive was vengeance?
**[15:12] ---**
Well, there is no need to treat her
if she became a curse-bearer willingly.
**[15:17] ---**
No! You can't simply leave her like this!
**[15:21] ---**
Why not?
**[15:22] ---**
Vengeance is meaningless,
so she should stop?
**[15:25] ---**
Or it won't bring happiness for anyone?
**[15:27] ---**
Is that what you wish to say?
**[15:30] ---**
Vengeance!
**[15:33] ---**
No! That's not what I'm saying, Vanitas.
**[15:37] ---**
I still don't know what
is inside Chloé's head.
**[15:41] ---**
I don't know what she truly seeks.
**[15:43] ---**
I don't even know what
salvation would be for them.
**[15:46] ---**
I don't wish to leave here
without discovering what that is!
**[15:53] ---**
Well, I do have to recover
*The Book of Vanitas*.
**[15:58] ---**
What?
**[15:59] ---**
I'll join you until then.
**[16:02] ---**
You truly *are* dim.
**[16:07] ---**
I'm saying I'll work with you
until you're satisfied.
**[16:12] ---**
If you wish for me to treat them,
try to inspire my help.
**[16:18] ---**
Very well! I'll do my best!
**[16:19] ---**
Lower your voice!
**[16:24] ---**
If Jean-Jacques became
the Beast to protect Chloé,
**[16:29] ---**
then who or what is behind
the killings that took place before that?
**[16:33] ---**
Local superstitions are
yet strong here in Gévaudan.
**[16:37] ---**
There are many religious sects as well,
**[16:40] ---**
and vampires are seen as abominations
worthy of hatred and extermination.
**[16:45] ---**
Extermination? You mean...
**[16:48] ---**
Vampire hunting?
**[16:49] ---**
At the time, the war between humans
and vampires had already ended.
**[16:53] ---**
Vampire hunting was
no longer officially sanctioned.
**[16:56] ---**
As such, they needed a proxy.
**[17:02] ---**
What if a wild animal came out of nowhere
**[17:05] ---**
to devour the bodies of
those purged from the Church?
**[17:08] ---**
Are you saying they exploited that?
**[17:11] ---**
This is mere speculation.
**[17:13] ---**
But the bishop at the time pronounced,
"The Beast is a servant of God."
**[17:19] ---**
So it was the Church that
created the Beast legend?
**[17:23] ---**
And they are also behind the
human slaughter in Gévaudan?
**[17:27] ---**
Well, well!
**[17:29] ---**
You, too, survived unscathed.
**[17:32] ---**
How unfortunate.
**[17:34] ---**
Astolfo!
**[17:35] ---**
Speak of the devil.
**[17:36] ---**
Are you here to destroy the
evidence from a century past?!
**[17:47] ---**
Please go on ahead, Vanitas.
**[17:50] ---**
This one's mine!
**[17:54] ---**
Clobber him once really good for me.
**[18:13] ---**
I see. That keyboard controls
the engine's many devices.
**[18:20] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier, I presume?
**[18:23] ---**
And you are?
**[18:25] ---**
My name is Vanitas,
doctor and vampire specialist.
**[18:30] ---**
Fear not.
**[18:31] ---**
I've come to save you, or so I intend.
**[18:35] ---**
Therefore,
**[18:36] ---**
I would have you return
my book this instant!
**[18:40] ---**
What book?
**[18:42] ---**
My book!
**[18:43] ---**
The one with the black pages
and blue leather cover!
**[18:46] ---**
Oh, that one.
**[18:49] ---**
It's here somewhere.
**[18:53] ---**
Quoi?
**[18:54] ---**
I was curious about the
jewel inlaid upon its cover.
**[18:57] ---**
But try as I might, I failed to remove it,
so I just left it lying around.
**[19:01] ---**
I vaguely remember Jean-Jacques
putting it away somewhere.
**[19:05] ---**
Oh no!
**[19:06] ---**
Don't tell me you're another
spatially challenged vampire?!
**[19:10] ---**
I didn't lose it. I put it down somewhere!
**[19:13] ---**
And? I heard you say you would save me.
**[19:17] ---**
Are you friend or foe? Which do you claim?
**[19:21] ---**
Chloé.
**[19:24] ---**
He is your foe, your enemy.
**[19:27] ---**
And I hate him. I truly do.
**[19:32] ---**
I'm nobody's friend.
**[19:34] ---**
I'll leave the boy's partner to you.
**[19:40] ---**
Very well!
**[19:44] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier!
**[19:46] ---**
What will you rewrite
with the Alteration Engine?!
**[19:49] ---**
For what do you seek vengeance?!
**[19:57] ---**
Analysis complete.
**[19:59] ---**
Coordinates set.
**[20:06] ---**
Chloé is going to erase Gévaudan
from the face of the earth!
**[20:12] ---**
Completely! Utterly!
**[20:14] ---**
People, animals, forests,
mountains, everything!
**[20:17] ---**
They'll all be cast away into oblivion!
**[20:23] ---**
I wonder what's in store.
**[20:26] ---**
I can't wait to see this!
**[20:29] ---**
She's not merely tampering
with the World Formula?
**[20:32] ---**
She's erasing part of it?
**[20:34] ---**
Erasing an area as large as Gévaudan
will have vast repercussions.
**[20:40] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier! Don't do this!
**[20:49] ---**
Wait a moment.
**[20:51] ---**
Could it be she seeks to...?
**[20:54] ---**
Definitions changed.
**[20:55] ---**
Alter phenomenon.
**[20:57] ---**
No! Don't activate that engine!
**[21:00] ---**
Perpetuate existence.
**[21:13] ---**
Wh-What's this?
**[21:27] ---**
She has forced Naenia
to take a bodily form!
**[21:32] ---**
I've thought about this ever so long.
**[21:36] ---**
How could I end this perpetual nightmare?
**[21:41] ---**
How could I lay hands
upon this incorporeal thing?
**[21:51] ---**
At last.
**[21:54] ---**
Now, even I could slay you.
**[21:57] ---**

**[00:01] ---**
Perpetuate existence.
**[00:14] ---**
Wh-What's this?
**[00:28] ---**
She has forced Naenia
to take a bodily form!
**[00:33] ---**
I've thought about this ever so long.
**[00:37] ---**
How could I end this perpetual nightmare?
**[00:42] ---**
How could I lay hands
upon this incorporeal thing?
**[00:51] ---**
At last.
**[00:53] ---**
Now, even I could slay you.
**[00:57] ---**
There is something I wish you to know.
**[00:59] ---**
My father told me,
**[01:01] ---**
"Those born into the nobility
must protect their fief's people.
**[01:05] ---**
The d'Apchier family
takes pride in doing that."
**[01:09] ---**
Therefore, no matter what they do to me
or how much I wish to kill them,
**[01:14] ---**
I could never hate the people
of the d'Apchier fiefdom!
**[01:17] ---**
I love them!
**[01:19] ---**
It is the sworn duty
of those born a d'Apchier.
**[01:22] ---**
But you, I cannot forgive,
**[01:24] ---**
for you took my one, my only,
**[01:27] ---**
and laid hands upon him.
**[01:30] ---**
You defiled Jean-Jacques's true name.
**[01:34] ---**
I shall *never* forgive that.
**[01:36] ---**
As I told you,
**[01:38] ---**
I am a terribly jealous woman.
**[03:06] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[03:17] ---**
What is that sound?!
**[03:20] ---**
W-We have a problem, Captain!
**[03:22] ---**
I'm picking up tremendous
waves of energy from that castle.
**[03:26] ---**
I believe the engine
may have been activated!
**[03:32] ---**
To the castle!
**[03:34] ---**
Astolfo, wait!
**[03:36] ---**
This is *not* good.
**[03:38] ---**
Something is going on in there.
**[03:44] ---**
Vanitas!
**[03:45] ---**
Are you all right?! Vanitas!
**[03:55] ---**
Mademoiselle Chloé?! Naenia?!
**[03:58] ---**
You're harder to kill than I thought.
**[04:08] ---**
Does it hurt? Are you in pain?
**[04:10] ---**
Can you feel my rage?
**[04:14] ---**
Don't... do this.
**[04:15] ---**
Vanitas.
**[04:17] ---**
Do not provoke Naenia anymore than this.
**[04:41] ---**
Oh, the pain!
**[04:45] ---**
It hurts so bad!
**[04:46] ---**
It hurts!
**[04:58] ---**
Chloé! Release her from bodily form!
**[05:01] ---**
Don't make her remember who she really is!
**[05:04] ---**
You won't be able to kill it!
**[05:21] ---**
B-Brother... what was that?
**[05:26] ---**
Calm yourself, Luca.
**[05:30] ---**
We tried so very hard to destroy her body.
**[05:35] ---**
It seems there were still
some remains scattered about.
**[05:39] ---**
Isn't that right, my queen?
**[05:56] ---**
That oppressive force,
it turns my stomach!
**[06:03] ---**
What is happening?
**[06:10] ---**
My body won't stop trembling.
**[06:14] ---**
It will not let me defy
the presence before me.
**[06:33] ---**
Mademoiselle Chloé!
**[06:34] ---**
No! She'll come after you, too!
**[06:37] ---**
Vanitas, what is happening?
**[06:40] ---**
That thing, Naenia, what is it?
**[06:43] ---**
That is Naenia, Death's Keeper.
**[06:53] ---**
It is the malnomen of Queen Faustina,
the first vampire of the crimson moon.
**[06:59] ---**
Her Majesty, the Queen?
**[07:07] ---**
This is bad!
**[07:08] ---**
Her malady was forcibly manifested!
She'll spiral out of control!
**[07:22] ---**
Jean-Jacques!
**[07:36] ---**
Chloé?
**[08:06] ---**
C-Captain! We're floating in thin air!
**[08:09] ---**
The whole place is floating!
**[08:13] ---**
The engine halted!
**[08:15] ---**
Naenia will be disembodied once more!
**[08:30] ---**
I almost forgot.
**[08:32] ---**
I must seek out more names.
**[08:51] ---**
Vanitas!
**[08:57] ---**
You will fail.
**[08:59] ---**
You will never reach him.
**[09:02] ---**
No one can save him.
**[09:04] ---**
All is lost.
**[09:06] ---**
So why do you keep reaching out?
**[09:12] ---**
Hurry up and join us.
**[09:22] ---**
What the devil was that?
**[09:27] ---**
What happened?
**[09:28] ---**
Where are we?
**[09:30] ---**
Our village is gone?
**[09:31] ---**
It's so cold.
**[09:33] ---**
Look!
**[09:34] ---**
The villagers of Saugues, no doubt.
**[09:36] ---**
Vanitas.
**[09:37] ---**
Curse that wretched Naenia.
**[09:39] ---**
Why couldn't she just quietly disappear?
**[09:42] ---**
She truly is rotten to the core.
**[09:45] ---**
Listen to me, Noé.
**[09:46] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier's malnomen
creates a space that protects her.
**[09:51] ---**
And as it spirals out of control,
it corrupts an ever wider area,
**[09:55] ---**
drawing in every living thing in its path.
**[09:58] ---**
It will devour everyone in Gévaudan
if we don't do something.
**[10:09] ---**
You knew?!
**[10:10] ---**
You should have filled me
in if you knew about all this!
**[10:13] ---**
What?!
**[10:14] ---**
And not just about Chloé!
About Naenia, too!
**[10:18] ---**
I wasn't sure about
her true identity till now!
**[10:20] ---**
And I don't like willy-nilly conjecture!
**[10:23] ---**
Got a problem with that?!
**[10:24] ---**
I do!
**[10:26] ---**
If you'd told me, things would've
turned out different!
**[10:30] ---**
Or not. There's no way to know for sure!
**[10:32] ---**
But maybe we could have done something!
**[10:35] ---**
--I could've--
**[10:36] ---**
--You wouldn't have believed me!
--I could've--
**[10:38] ---**
You vampires never listen to humans!
**[10:42] ---**
Do you even realize how many times
I've nearly been slain by your kind?!
**[10:47] ---**
And we're talking about
your queen this time!
**[10:49] ---**
Yes, but I--
**[10:51] ---**
Did you already forget how
Lord Ruthven nearly did me in?!
**[10:54] ---**
You *complete* moron!
**[10:59] ---**
I believe you!
**[11:08] ---**
Ouch! Stop it!
**[11:09] ---**
You make me sick!
**[11:11] ---**
What's that for?
**[11:12] ---**
You really make me sick!
**[11:13] ---**
That hurts.
**[11:17] ---**
So? What now?
**[11:19] ---**
Oh, um...
**[11:21] ---**
You haven't given up on
Chloé d'Apchier, have you?
**[11:26] ---**
Of course not!
**[11:32] ---**
Wolves?!
**[11:43] ---**
I'll let Vanitas handle this while I...
**[11:45] ---**
No, I better not.
**[11:47] ---**
These are no ordinary wolves.
**[11:51] ---**
There's no time!
**[11:54] ---**
What shall I do?!
**[11:55] ---**
Let's have at them, Durendal.
**[12:03] ---**
I thought it was you two.
**[12:05] ---**
I always knew we'd meet again.
**[12:10] ---**
I am ever grateful
for God's guiding light.
**[12:14] ---**
Thank you, O Lord!
**[12:28] ---**
Roland!
**[12:34] ---**
Orcas?!
**[12:35] ---**
Forgive me, but those
are Chasseur transports.
**[12:38] ---**
Things might go south
if they were to spot you.
**[12:41] ---**
It was quite a shock.
**[12:44] ---**
We were suddenly caught in
a blizzard on the way to Saugues.
**[12:47] ---**
Then mountains began to crumble,
and wolves attacked.
**[12:51] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan
must be behind all this.
**[12:56] ---**
Don't tell me Roland is here
to kill the Beast, too?
**[12:59] ---**
Actually...
**[13:01] ---**
So what's the plan?
**[13:03] ---**
If you two are here,
**[13:06] ---**
there must be a curse-bearing
vampire at the center of all this.
**[13:11] ---**
What can I do to affect
a more peaceful resolution?
**[13:21] ---**
Roland!
**[13:22] ---**
That fool!
**[13:24] ---**
He vanished, leaving us in the lurch.
**[13:27] ---**
You wish to help us? But why?
**[13:31] ---**
How can you say that?
**[13:33] ---**
I thought it was obvious
that I'm quite fond of you two.
**[13:39] ---**
Me, too! I'm quite fond... of you!
**[13:43] ---**
I thank you both!
**[13:45] ---**
Don't drag me into this!
**[13:48] ---**
Don't let the people
of Gévaudan die, Roland.
**[13:52] ---**
Fulfilling her duty as a d'Apchier
gives meaning to Chloé's life.
**[13:58] ---**
So if she were to lose control and
kill even one denizen of this region,
**[14:03] ---**
there would be no saving her.
**[14:06] ---**
And even if we did save her,
there would be no salvation for her soul.
**[14:11] ---**
Can you do that?
**[14:14] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[14:17] ---**
However, I am here as
a paladin of the Chasseurs.
**[14:21] ---**
If the situation gets much worse,
**[14:23] ---**
I will not hesitate to
start beheading vampires.
**[14:28] ---**
Don't force me to slay the Beast.
**[14:36] ---**
Now that that's settled,
it's time to get to work!
**[14:39] ---**
You two take care of what only you can do!
**[14:48] ---**
Hauteclaire.
**[14:50] ---**
You will break it again if you
keep handling it so roughly.
**[14:54] ---**
What?
**[14:57] ---**
You always did fight in
a most uncivilized manner.
**[15:00] ---**
Hold your tongue!
**[15:01] ---**
Where were you?!
**[15:02] ---**
Yes, about that, Olivier.
**[15:06] ---**
May I ask you to do me a favor?
**[15:09] ---**
No, you cannot.
**[15:11] ---**
In that case,
**[15:12] ---**
I need, let's see... I'd say
about 30 minutes of your time.
**[15:15] ---**
We are going on a rescue mission!
**[15:18] ---**
I already said no!
**[15:20] ---**
But you don't agree
with the order, do you?
**[15:22] ---**
Huh?
**[15:23] ---**
The order that said, "Slay every
vampire you encounter in Gévaudan."
**[15:28] ---**
We're not at war here.
**[15:30] ---**
Killing innocent vampires will only
lead to problems that are far worse.
**[15:36] ---**
It's almost as if the Church
is trying to cover up something.
**[15:41] ---**
That doesn't sit well with me.
**[15:48] ---**
So I'd like to speak with the
curse-bearer up there without killing her.
**[15:54] ---**
Speak with a curse-bearer?
Don't tell me...!
**[15:57] ---**
Those two are at it again?!
**[16:03] ---**
Well, what do we have here?
**[16:05] ---**
Georges! Maria!
**[16:07] ---**
Olivier and I will destroy
this abomination!
**[16:10] ---**
The rescue effort is your top priority!
**[16:12] ---**
I don't want a single casualty!
**[16:14] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[16:15] ---**
It's been ages since
I fought by your side.
**[16:19] ---**
Then let's be quick about it!
**[16:38] ---**
Where am I?
**[16:41] ---**
Who am I?
**[16:43] ---**
You are but a puppet and nothing more.
**[16:48] ---**
You need but be a tool.
**[16:50] ---**
A vessel needs not a will of its own.
**[16:53] ---**
Think not.
**[16:55] ---**
Have not wants nor wishes.
**[16:58] ---**
Fail in this, and we
shall claim your head.
**[17:03] ---**
I am a puppet.
**[17:05] ---**
Nothing but a tool.
**[17:12] ---**
Little girl, are you all alone?
**[17:16] ---**
Are you all right?
**[17:22] ---**
Yes, we've decided to
raise the child ourselves.
**[17:28] ---**
It is a pleasure to meet you, Jeanne.
**[17:31] ---**
I am Ruthven.
**[17:33] ---**
Henceforth, I want you to see and
learn all you can under my tutelage.
**[17:37] ---**
You must learn about this world.
**[17:43] ---**
Mother. Father. I'll see you again soon!
**[17:58] ---**
Your mother and father
betrayed the vampires.
**[18:02] ---**
Their betrayal led to the death
of our brethren in untold numbers.
**[18:06] ---**
Children must atone
for their parent's sins.
**[18:09] ---**
No longer are you a vampire.
**[18:12] ---**
You are a tool, a bourreau.
**[18:17] ---**
Think not.
**[18:19] ---**
Have not wants nor wishes.
**[18:22] ---**
Fail in this, and...
**[18:26] ---**
So that's why.
**[18:27] ---**
I didn't do what I was told.
**[18:30] ---**
But they took my parents'
heads instead of mine.
**[18:38] ---**
I am a bourreau.
**[18:40] ---**
I am but a tool.
I need only follow my orders.
**[18:46] ---**
So you're... the Hellfire Witch?
**[18:50] ---**
Go on, quickly now.
**[18:54] ---**
Use your fangs, your talons,
your flames, and...
**[19:00] ---**
Jeanne.
**[19:10] ---**
Think not.
**[19:12] ---**
Have not wants nor wishes.
**[19:15] ---**
Fail in this, and...
**[19:17] ---**
No. Please.
**[19:19] ---**
I will slay her. Please!
**[20:09] ---**
Jeanne?
**[20:11] ---**
Jeanne!
**[20:19] ---**
Lord Ruthven.
**[20:25] ---**
Jeanne, do not forget
the oath you just swore.
**[20:34] ---**
You shall now enter a long slumber.
**[20:39] ---**
You shall sleep until the war ends
and all can live in peace.
**[20:44] ---**
Use this time to heal both body and mind.
**[20:53] ---**
Yes, I had forgotten.
**[20:56] ---**
For that dream was so very long.
**[21:00] ---**
It made me forget that I was a puppet,
**[21:02] ---**
and that I must have no will of my own.
**[21:07] ---**
I must kill Chloé this time.
I must not fail.
**[21:13] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier is not the Beast.
**[21:16] ---**
You've seen it with your own eyes.
**[21:18] ---**
That doesn't matter.
**[21:20] ---**
Lord Ruthven ordered me to put
an end to the trouble in Gévaudan.
**[21:25] ---**
But he never told you to kill her.
**[21:28] ---**
Do you realize how many lives
the Beast of Gévaudan has claimed?
**[21:32] ---**
I have no choice but to slay it.
**[21:36] ---**
And Chloé is a curse-bearer.
**[21:39] ---**
Bourreaus must execute
curse-bearers that have lost control.
**[21:46] ---**
It's too late now.
**[21:49] ---**
She's beyond help.
**[21:51] ---**
That's why I must--
**[21:52] ---**
It's not too late!
**[21:54] ---**
**[21:56] ---**

**[00:01] ---**
I must kill Chloé this time.
I must not fail.
**[00:06] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier is not the Beast.
**[00:09] ---**
You've seen it with your own eyes.
**[00:11] ---**
That doesn't matter.
**[00:13] ---**
Lord Ruthven ordered me to put
an end to the trouble in Gévaudan.
**[00:18] ---**
But he never told you to kill her.
**[00:21] ---**
Do you realize how many lives
the Beast of Gévaudan has claimed?
**[00:25] ---**
I have no choice but to slay it.
**[00:29] ---**
And Chloé is a curse-bearer.
**[00:32] ---**
Bourreaus must execute
curse-bearers that have lost control.
**[00:39] ---**
It's too late now. She's beyond help.
**[00:43] ---**
That's why I must--
**[00:45] ---**
It's not too late!
**[00:53] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier can still be saved.
**[00:55] ---**
And we're the ones who can do it.
**[00:58] ---**
So I'm asking for your help, Jeanne.
**[01:06] ---**
Chloé hasn't slain
a single denizen of Gévaudan.
**[01:10] ---**
Not now or in the past.
That is the one thing I'm sure of.
**[01:15] ---**
She was framed as the Beast.
**[01:18] ---**
How is that possible? I thought...
**[01:21] ---**
You must ask her that yourself.
**[01:26] ---**
But I'll ask you again the question
I posed at the mountain cabin.
**[01:31] ---**
Will you slay Chloé d'Apchier?
**[01:34] ---**
Is that what you truly wish?
**[01:43] ---**
I mustn't wish for anything,
nor pray for anything, either.
**[01:48] ---**
Why not?
**[01:49] ---**
I don't know. But if I don't obey...
**[01:53] ---**
...someone else will again lose
their head in place of mine.
**[01:57] ---**
Perhaps even you!
**[02:05] ---**
I won't die! At least, not before you!
**[02:10] ---**
I promised I'd kill you
if you ever lost control.
**[02:16] ---**
I love you.
**[02:18] ---**
I can make your wish come true.
**[02:20] ---**
It must be me.
**[02:23] ---**
So out with it. What is it you truly wish?
**[02:26] ---**
Tell me, no matter how trivial a desire
**[02:29] ---**
or unlovely an emotion.
**[02:31] ---**
Even if it's a curse.
**[02:34] ---**
I'll do all in my power!
**[02:38] ---**
H-Help.
**[02:41] ---**
Help.
**[02:43] ---**
Please help!
**[02:46] ---**
This has tormented me for so long.
I cannot stand much more.
**[02:50] ---**
Please.
**[02:52] ---**
Help me.
**[02:54] ---**
Help Chloé.
**[02:57] ---**
Please help us, Vanitas!
**[03:09] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[04:36] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[04:48] ---**
Jean-Jacques!
**[04:50] ---**
Are you all right?! Jean-Jacques!
**[04:54] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:55] ---**
This is your fault!
**[04:57] ---**
No!
**[04:58] ---**
I don't wish to give up yet!
**[05:01] ---**
You didn't want to give up?!
I spoke too soon because of you!
**[05:04] ---**
I'm not in the habit of
making doubtful promises!
**[05:07] ---**
In fact, it's inconceivable!
**[05:10] ---**
You're to blame!
**[05:11] ---**
What?
**[05:15] ---**
Open your eyes, Jean-Jacques,
or whatever your name is!
**[05:18] ---**
Please, Vanitas, he's been injured.
**[05:22] ---**
Finally awake?
**[05:24] ---**
There's no time,
so I'll only say this once.
**[05:27] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier's vengeance failed.
**[05:32] ---**
I need *The Book of Vanitas*
if you want to save her!
**[05:36] ---**
Tell me where it is!
**[05:39] ---**
I-I'm sorry, so sorry!
**[05:42] ---**
Please forgive me,
Master and Mistress Granatum!
**[05:46] ---**
Little Mistress...
**[05:48] ---**
Young Master...
**[05:53] ---**
Remember this well, Astolfo.
**[05:57] ---**
Our ancestors risked their
lives battling vampire-kind,
**[06:01] ---**
thereby protecting
the people of this land.
**[06:04] ---**
Should those fiends once again
bare their fangs against this world,
**[06:09] ---**
it is your duty as a member of
House Granatum to claim their heads.
**[06:18] ---**
You need not learn to fight
if it is too much for you to bear.
**[06:24] ---**
It is by no means cowardice
to be afraid to hurt someone,
**[06:29] ---**
for you have a kind soul.
**[06:32] ---**
Yes, Mother.
**[06:33] ---**
Astolfo, never forget
the kindness that you bear.
**[06:41] ---**
Big brother.
**[06:48] ---**
A vampire!
**[06:50] ---**
What should I do?!
**[06:51] ---**
I must summon an adult at once!
**[06:55] ---**
Marco!
**[06:56] ---**
Big brother, he's hurt!
**[07:01] ---**
Mother, Father, Emma...
**[07:09] ---**
I feel sorry for him.
**[07:19] ---**
Wait here.
**[07:23] ---**
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
**[07:26] ---**
I'll bring a medicine
chest from our manor.
**[07:31] ---**
Young Master?! Little Mistress?!
**[07:35] ---**
It is time for your studies!
**[07:45] ---**
Sorry. I'm not very good at this.
**[07:48] ---**
But I'm a vampire. Why are you doing this?
**[07:54] ---**
I thought I should help people
whenever they're in need.
**[08:01] ---**
Does it still hurt?
**[08:03] ---**
Shall I put a spell on it?!
**[08:09] ---**
*Bisou Magique!*
**[08:11] ---**
Well, well? Does it still hurt? Does it?!
**[08:21] ---**
No, it doesn't hurt anymore.
**[08:24] ---**
Thank you!
**[08:28] ---**
So, what's your name?
**[08:32] ---**
Astolfo.
**[08:35] ---**
Oh.
**[08:38] ---**
Thank you. You're a kind human, Astolfo.
**[08:48] ---**
Young Master! Little Mistress!
**[08:51] ---**
They will be the death of me,
running off like this each day.
**[09:00] ---**
Let me hear some more today, Astolfo.
**[09:03] ---**
You mean about our house?
**[09:05] ---**
Yes.
**[09:06] ---**
You're the first human
friend I've ever had.
**[09:10] ---**
I'd like to know more about you.
**[09:13] ---**
For instance, what your
family members are like,
**[09:15] ---**
and how you spend your days.
**[09:18] ---**
I'm so interested in that!
**[09:22] ---**
Not all vampires are evil.
**[09:25] ---**
We don't need swords.
We don't have to fight.
**[09:28] ---**
We can get along fine
if we learn all about each other.
**[09:41] ---**
Wh-Why did you...
**[09:45] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:47] ---**
You're such a kindly human, Astolfo.
**[09:50] ---**
And...
**[09:52] ---**
You're such a fool that it makes me laugh!
**[10:16] ---**
My mother, father, and sister
were slain by the Chasseurs' paladins.
**[10:23] ---**
How does it feel?
**[10:25] ---**
No one in your family will
ever say your name again.
**[10:29] ---**
Astolfo. Poor little Astolfo.
**[10:34] ---**
I'll say your name in their stead.
**[10:39] ---**
After all, what are
friends for? Right, Astolfo?
**[10:54] ---**
What was that?
**[11:03] ---**
Accursed vampires!
**[11:16] ---**
Young Master!
**[11:18] ---**
Oh, dear! What happened here?
**[11:25] ---**
I don't think we shall
get what we came for.
**[11:28] ---**
So what now?
**[11:30] ---**
Good question.
**[11:31] ---**
Dante!
**[11:32] ---**
Quack! You mind explaining what the hell--
**[11:35] ---**
Help me find my book!
**[11:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:37] ---**
Behind you! Second floor, sixth shelf!
*The Book of Vanitas* is there!
**[11:42] ---**
Find it, quick!
**[11:44] ---**
Otherwise, we'll all be trapped forever
**[11:47] ---**
in the closed world that
Chloé d'Apchier created!
**[11:51] ---**
Very well! We'll help you for now!
**[11:54] ---**
You sure about that?
**[11:55] ---**
It will all be in vain if we're
trapped here forever!
**[11:58] ---**
Do you really want to make Riche cry?!
**[12:02] ---**
And in any case, there's still
that matter concerning Vanitas.
**[12:07] ---**
I'm afraid it will get ugly.
**[12:12] ---**
Vanitas? What are you looking for?
**[12:16] ---**
Got it!
**[12:16] ---**
Hey, can you get this thing working?
**[12:19] ---**
What?
**[12:20] ---**
If you know how, do it now!
**[12:22] ---**
A-All right.
**[12:23] ---**
What are you up to?
**[12:24] ---**
I will do exactly
what Chloé d'Apchier did.
**[12:28] ---**
She is starting to merge with
the closed world she created.
**[12:32] ---**
If we don't act quickly, there will
be no target for a reverse operation.
**[12:35] ---**
I must stabilize her existence.
**[12:40] ---**
That's strange. This should activate it.
**[12:44] ---**
Could it be broken?
**[12:45] ---**
Is the engine's core made of astermite?!
**[12:47] ---**
It is, but...
**[12:50] ---**
I believe it's a special kind.
**[12:53] ---**
Chloé called it divine tearstone.
**[13:00] ---**
Father, is the stone on this
book also made of astermite?
**[13:04] ---**
That's right, but it's
no ordinary astermite.
**[13:09] ---**
It's a special kind that's much
purer and far more powerful.
**[13:15] ---**
It's known as blue tearstone
or divine tearstone.
**[13:22] ---**
I'll help look for the book!
**[13:31] ---**
Vanitas?!
**[13:33] ---**
What happened to your hand?
**[13:36] ---**
Never mind me. You must hurry!
**[13:42] ---**
I must destroy...
**[13:52] ---**
...Chloé!
**[14:02] ---**
Destroy!
**[14:08] ---**
Chloé.
**[14:09] ---**
It's all right, Jean-Jacques.
I don't think Jeanne is out for blood.
**[14:14] ---**
How did it come to this?
**[14:17] ---**
She said she would finally
be free once this was all over.
**[14:20] ---**
I thought she wouldn't
have to suffer any longer.
**[14:25] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier, no doubt, intended
to die once her vengeance was done.
**[14:30] ---**
What?
**[14:30] ---**
I know that face well.
**[14:33] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier! Don't do this!
**[14:43] ---**
It's the self-satisfied,
self-absorbed look
**[14:46] ---**
of someone who has
selfishly decided to die alone.
**[14:50] ---**
It makes me puke!
**[14:51] ---**
That's absurd.
**[14:53] ---**
Chloé... She wouldn't...
**[14:55] ---**
Jean-Jacques, let's try talking to Chloé!
**[14:58] ---**
We can get through to her!
**[15:01] ---**
We may be so close to someone
and want to protect them so much,
**[15:05] ---**
but they'll never know
unless we tell them!
**[15:11] ---**
Huh?
**[15:15] ---**
Astolfo!
**[15:17] ---**
I will kill you.
**[15:19] ---**
I will kill every last
one of you vampires!
**[15:27] ---**
Commence
**[15:28] ---**
calculation.
**[15:48] ---**
What?!
**[15:50] ---**
Even beheading them or chopping
them to pieces doesn't work.
**[15:54] ---**
Just die already, you overgrown mutt!
**[15:57] ---**
Well, Olivier? Answer me.
**[16:00] ---**
Enough already, Roland.
**[16:04] ---**
Even we won't be able to protect them
if this drags on much longer.
**[16:08] ---**
If it comes to that,
**[16:10] ---**
do not hesitate.
**[16:13] ---**
I know.
**[16:15] ---**
Noé, Vanitas...
**[16:36] ---**
He's faster and stronger than before!
**[16:42] ---**
That was even faster!
**[16:45] ---**
Die!
**[16:49] ---**
All vampires!
**[16:50] ---**
They must die.
**[16:52] ---**
Begone from my sight!
**[17:19] ---**
Astolfo.
**[17:21] ---**
After all, what are friends for?
Right, Astolfo?
**[17:31] ---**
How dare you speak my name,
you accursed heretic!
**[17:36] ---**
Young Master!
**[17:38] ---**
You vampires never should have been born!
**[17:42] ---**
You are abominations that
should not be allowed to even exist!
**[17:47] ---**
That is why my brethren and
I must exterminate all vampires
**[17:51] ---**
and return this world
to its pristine state!
**[18:05] ---**
You wish to help this child?
**[18:09] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[18:10] ---**
You, too, will need
a friend once this is all over.
**[18:16] ---**
Now I see.
**[18:18] ---**
You never once did speak of yourself
as having any sort of future.
**[18:24] ---**
Somewhere deep inside, I knew that,
but I was too afraid to ask.
**[18:38] ---**
Why go through the trouble to build
weapons into those automated instruments?
**[18:44] ---**
After all, I will protect you.
**[18:47] ---**
And why name them after
members of the d'Apchier family?
**[18:54] ---**
They shall serve as
surrogates for these children.
**[18:58] ---**
I will have my vengeance,
and they will have theirs, together.
**[19:08] ---**
I understand now.
**[19:09] ---**
She meant to die once all this was over.
**[19:14] ---**
She blames herself for
the end of her family line.
**[19:17] ---**
So she will have those automatons
kill her in an act of vengeance.
**[19:23] ---**
Analysis complete. Coordinates set.
**[19:26] ---**
Definitions changed. Alter phenomenon.
**[19:29] ---**
Perpetuate existence!
**[19:39] ---**
Got it!
**[19:41] ---**
Hey, quack! I found it!
**[19:43] ---**
Catch!
**[19:53] ---**
Here in this closed world,
they all come to kill Chloé.
**[19:59] ---**
Not only the dragoons,
**[20:01] ---**
but also the villagers,
the Chasseurs, and that bourreau.
**[20:05] ---**
They come back no matter
how many times I kill them.
**[20:08] ---**
I have already slain them hundreds,
even thousands of times.
**[20:13] ---**
I wished to protect you, Chloé.
**[20:16] ---**
But this is what *you* wished,
**[20:20] ---**
wasn't it?
**[20:23] ---**
I must destroy this despicable
world before it's too late...
**[20:30] ---**
...and me along with it.
**[20:33] ---**
I must set Jean-Jacques free now!
**[20:41] ---**
Chloé, you silly fool.
You don't have a clue.
**[20:45] ---**
You don't know the first thing about me!
**[20:52] ---**
What's the use of being free without you?
**[21:02] ---**
I would plunge into the pits of hell
with you if you so wished.
**[21:07] ---**
I'd go anywhere,
do anything if it was with you.
**[21:12] ---**
Anything.
**[21:14] ---**
But what's the point without you?!
**[21:19] ---**
Don't think I could ever
be happy without you.
**[21:22] ---**
Don't go. Don't leave me.
**[21:25] ---**
Please.
**[21:28] ---**
I'm begging you, Chloé.
**[21:35] ---**
Don't leave me all alone!

**[00:02] ---**
Don't think I could ever
be happy without you.
**[00:05] ---**
Don't go. Don't leave me.
**[00:08] ---**
Please.
**[00:11] ---**
I'm begging you, Chloé.
**[00:17] ---**
Don't leave me all alone!
**[00:47] ---**
Malnomen...
Millie, Theater of Ice and Snow.
**[00:58] ---**
Those afflicted by this malady
**[01:00] ---**
are trapped in a closed world,
a frozen prison of their own memories.
**[01:07] ---**
The endlessly repeating
performance that plays out there
**[01:11] ---**
slowly but surely destroys their soul.
**[01:15] ---**
This malnomen is so intractable
**[01:19] ---**
because you cannot treat it simply
by performing an inverse operation.
**[01:25] ---**
Unless the curse-bearer themself
rejects their frozen world,
**[01:29] ---**
they will remain bound fast
there until it vanishes,
**[01:32] ---**
erasing them from existence.
**[01:36] ---**
Chloé d'Apchier!
**[01:38] ---**
You can vanish along with this world
or continue to live your dismal life.
**[01:42] ---**
Your choice!
**[01:44] ---**
Even if you survive this,
you won't reclaim your good name.
**[01:49] ---**
The Church will never
admit the truth about the past
**[01:52] ---**
and will keep hunting you as the Beast.
**[01:54] ---**
That's enough!
**[01:55] ---**
It will be hell either way!
**[01:57] ---**
But you must choose!
**[02:04] ---**
Jean-Jacques?
**[02:10] ---**
What have...
**[02:12] ---**
What have I done?
**[02:24] ---**
Jeanne, go!
**[02:28] ---**
If only I could turn back time.
**[02:33] ---**
If only I hadn't hesitated
to reach out and save you.
**[04:02] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[04:18] ---**
Roland, I may soon do harm
to one of your brethren.
**[04:25] ---**
Do you speak of the one known as Astolfo?
**[04:30] ---**
I see.
**[04:32] ---**
He is up there now.
**[04:36] ---**
Astolfo's entire family
was slain by vampires.
**[04:39] ---**
Enough!
**[04:41] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[04:43] ---**
I won't tell you not to fight him.
**[04:46] ---**
I'm not sure why I told you this.
**[04:49] ---**
I suppose I simply wanted you to know.
**[04:54] ---**
That young lad was far too kind.
**[05:00] ---**
Die!
**[05:02] ---**
All vampires must die!
**[05:08] ---**
He has injected far too much!
**[05:11] ---**
Please stop this, Captain!
**[05:13] ---**
Your body cannot withstand any more!
**[05:16] ---**
Oh no! He's got me this time!
**[05:25] ---**
Now what?! Should I fall back?
**[05:27] ---**
Do not hesitate, Noé.
**[05:29] ---**
Do not consider whether
Astolfo's hatred is justified.
**[05:34] ---**
Humans and vampires alike act according
to their own sense of what's right.
**[05:39] ---**
One man's justice can be another's evil.
**[05:42] ---**
In your case, right makes might.
**[05:45] ---**
But such might can easily turn to
a violence more vexing than malice.
**[05:51] ---**
Do not wield it in anger.
Keep it deep inside.
**[05:54] ---**
Let that sense of justice be a shining
light guiding you on your path.
**[06:07] ---**
That means don't overthink it!
**[06:10] ---**
Act according to where you draw the line,
not what you feel is right.
**[06:17] ---**
That will serve you well
at the very least.
**[06:23] ---**
I will not retreat, no matter what!
**[06:26] ---**
I'll blow you to bits!
**[06:41] ---**
I want to save Chloé and Jean-Jacques.
**[06:44] ---**
That's all I want, no matter who's my foe!
**[06:47] ---**
I'll never give up!
**[06:57] ---**
Nice one!
**[07:04] ---**
Young Master! Dear Astolfo!
**[07:11] ---**
I wanted to be human again,
**[07:16] ---**
for that is what Father wished.
**[07:21] ---**
Father dedicated his life
**[07:25] ---**
to researching how to
return me to human form.
**[07:30] ---**
That was a joy to me.
**[07:32] ---**
It was all an expression
of his love for me, and...
**[07:38] ---**
...it was a lie.
**[07:41] ---**
The truth is, I was always lonely.
**[07:44] ---**
After all, if I was not human,
it meant I was not truly me.
**[07:52] ---**
The engine is at its limit!
It can't sustain her existence!
**[07:59] ---**
There's no time for an inverse operation!
**[08:02] ---**
I wanted to be accepted
**[08:05] ---**
as a daughter to her father,
**[08:07] ---**
as a member of the d'Apchier family,
**[08:10] ---**
as I truly am.
**[08:17] ---**
Chloé!
**[08:19] ---**
I wanted to be loved
**[08:21] ---**
for who I truly am.
**[08:25] ---**
You must choose!
**[08:38] ---**
Damn it!
**[08:39] ---**
Luna, lend me your strength.
**[09:13] ---**
It looks like the heavens
are blue and filled with stars.
**[09:20] ---**
Now I see. That is your true name.
**[09:25] ---**
Canorus, "she who makes
music with snow flowers."
**[09:50] ---**
What happened? It's no longer cold.
**[09:53] ---**
Snow?
**[09:55] ---**
No, they're flower petals.
**[10:01] ---**
Does this mean it's over?
**[10:05] ---**
Well done, you two.
**[10:36] ---**
Huh? Ow... Ouch!
**[10:38] ---**
The pain is way worse than
I thought! Like 15 times worse!
**[10:42] ---**
Hey, I found it! I found your hand!
**[10:46] ---**
Are you all right?
**[10:47] ---**
No. I think I shall cry.
**[10:50] ---**
You think we can reattach it?
**[10:53] ---**
Well, it's not like it
got burned to ashes.
**[10:57] ---**
It might work... or not. I have no idea.
**[11:02] ---**
Where did all those
astérisque flowers come from?
**[11:07] ---**
Haven't you heard?
**[11:08] ---**
They're said to bloom in and around areas
**[11:11] ---**
where the World Formula
has been tampered with.
**[11:14] ---**
But I don't know if it's true.
**[11:18] ---**
You've got to be kidding me!
**[11:24] ---**
Kill...
**[11:27] ---**
I must kill every last vampire.
**[11:33] ---**
I must kill them.
**[11:35] ---**
Astolfo.
**[12:15] ---**
H-Help us.
**[12:17] ---**
Please... Sir Paladin.
**[12:22] ---**
I beg you.
**[12:24] ---**
Please save my sister.
**[12:29] ---**
I don't care what happens to me.
**[12:35] ---**
I'm to blame. This is all...
**[12:39] ---**
...my fault.
**[12:45] ---**
It's over now, Astolfo.
**[12:50] ---**
Come with me.
**[12:53] ---**
Captain. Young Master Astolfo.
**[13:09] ---**
Chloé! Are you all right?!
**[13:12] ---**
How do you feel? Is anything wrong?
**[13:17] ---**
Chloé!
**[13:23] ---**
You fool! I never said you could
get so battered and bruised!
**[13:28] ---**
What if you had gotten yourself killed?!
**[13:30] ---**
What?! I could say the same about you!
**[13:33] ---**
You planned to die
without even telling me!
**[13:36] ---**
Did you ever consider how
I'd feel being left all alone?!
**[13:39] ---**
That's enough!
How dare you talk back to me!
**[13:43] ---**
I hate you, Jean-Jacques!
**[13:45] ---**
Chloé.
**[13:46] ---**
You fool. You fool!
**[13:47] ---**
You utter fool!
**[14:37] ---**
Chloé?!
**[14:39] ---**
I vowed not to cry.
**[14:41] ---**
When I decided to exact
vengeance upon that nightmare,
**[14:44] ---**
I vowed I would no longer cry, but...
**[14:47] ---**
I'm such a fool, aren't I?
**[14:49] ---**
Jeanne, that day I gazed up
at the sky with you...
**[14:53] ---**
I truly thought that if I were to die,
I'd like it to be that day.
**[14:58] ---**
But now...
**[15:03] ---**
I want to live.
**[15:05] ---**
That is what I now wish.
**[15:11] ---**
Wasn't that unfair of me?
Haven't I been awful?
**[15:19] ---**
What's wrong with that?
I don't mind if you're unfair.
**[15:25] ---**
Let's both live, Chloé, together.
**[15:29] ---**
I don't need anything more
than you being there for me.
**[15:44] ---**
Vanitas.
**[15:45] ---**
Where is he?!
**[15:59] ---**
It's spread quite a bit.
**[16:11] ---**
It's so cold.
**[16:15] ---**
Vanitas!
**[16:16] ---**
Jeanne!
**[16:17] ---**
You're all right?
**[16:20] ---**
Thank you, Vanitas! Thank you!
**[16:24] ---**
Chloé's survived! You really saved her!
**[16:27] ---**
Thank you!
**[16:28] ---**
O-Ow! It's a little early
to take a victory lap.
**[16:32] ---**
I don't know what
Lord Ruthven is really up to.
**[16:34] ---**
But I doubt the Senate
will let Chloé d'Apchier be.
**[16:38] ---**
And you'll likely suffer
some sort of punishment.
**[16:42] ---**
I'm well aware of that!
**[16:44] ---**
But I'm still happy! Hopelessly so!
**[16:47] ---**
Okay...
**[16:48] ---**
How could I help it?!
**[16:49] ---**
My bad.
**[16:50] ---**
Vanitas, thanks to you...
**[16:54] ---**
Because you were there for me...
**[16:57] ---**
I...
**[17:15] ---**
Wait, Jeanne! What's gotten into you?
**[17:39] ---**
I-I did offer my blood to you.
**[17:43] ---**
But there is a time and
a place for everything.
**[18:07] ---**
Remember your promise, Vanitas.
**[18:11] ---**
If the day ever comes
**[18:13] ---**
when I am truly no longer myself...
**[18:23] ---**
If that were to happen,
**[18:26] ---**
you must slay me, understand?
**[18:39] ---**
Jeanne!
**[19:04] ---**
Listen to me.
**[19:07] ---**
Everyone is alone.
**[19:10] ---**
That doesn't change whether
you are a human or a vampire.
**[19:15] ---**
You can never completely
understand someone.
**[19:19] ---**
Most people live and die without
even understanding themselves.
**[19:25] ---**
Nevertheless, it is for that very reason
**[19:29] ---**
people seek each other out to share
the warmth of an emotional bond.
**[19:37] ---**
Someday, when I no longer walk this earth,
**[19:42] ---**
may you find someone to
snuggle up with just as we are now.
**[19:48] ---**
Or should I say, I'm sure
there will be such a person...
**[19:53] ---**
...as long as you do not close your heart.
**[20:02] ---**
Open your heart, and you will never
be lonely even when you are alone,
**[20:08] ---**
just as both of you are here for me.
**[20:14] ---**
Vanitas!
**[20:16] ---**
Um, are you all right?
**[20:22] ---**
Huh?
**[20:23] ---**
You always complained about the cold,
**[20:25] ---**
but I know one day, you will meet
someone who will keep you warm.
**[20:36] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[20:38] ---**
Yes. I always wanted
the strength to protect Chloé.
**[20:45] ---**
But if it's just going to do her harm,
**[20:50] ---**
I no longer need it.
**[20:53] ---**
I myself must be enough.
**[20:56] ---**
I, Jean-Jacques Chastel,
shall protect her!
**[21:09] ---**
Very well.
**[21:20] ---**
Yes, your true name suits you well.
**[21:27] ---**
Aprix, "he who nestles up
to the last snows."
**[21:38] ---**
So it was that Gévaudan was
finally freed from the Beast's curse.
**[21:45] ---**
Some were saved.
**[21:47] ---**
And some were not.
**[21:50] ---**
That's it!
**[21:52] ---**
But the scars will
remain on each one of us.
**[21:56] ---**

"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:05] ---**
Please help, Count Orlok!
**[02:07] ---**
It's Vanitas!
**[02:08] ---**
He's going to die!
**[02:11] ---**
What?
**[02:13] ---**
He has refused to get up
since we returned to Paris.
**[02:16] ---**
It's been over ten days!
**[02:18] ---**
When I ask him what's wrong...
**[02:20] ---**
There's a pain in my heart.
**[02:22] ---**
...that's all he ever says,
and he won't eat.
**[02:26] ---**
I don't know what I shall do.
**[02:31] ---**
You could just let him die.
**[02:33] ---**
Not so fast, Manet.
**[02:34] ---**
Let's hear him out, at least
until Murr finishes eating.
**[02:38] ---**
Amelia is out somewhere,
**[02:41] ---**
and Vanitas won't go see a doctor.
**[02:44] ---**
You're my last hope.
**[02:45] ---**
What a big baby!
**[02:47] ---**
I'd rather die than have
someone examine my body.
**[02:51] ---**
Vanitas.
**[02:52] ---**
Besides, this is no ordinary sickness.
**[02:56] ---**
I've reread my medical books,
but they say nothing of what ails me.
**[03:01] ---**
So that's why you had a pile
of books beside your bed.
**[03:05] ---**
Wait, I know! Jeanne
must've put a curse on me!
**[03:10] ---**
The Hellfire Witch?
**[03:12] ---**
She cursed you?
**[03:13] ---**
These symptoms didn't appear until after
Jeanne sucked my blood in Gévaudan.
**[03:20] ---**
My face feels flush,
**[03:22] ---**
and my heart feels like it's in
a vise and won't stop racing!
**[03:26] ---**
--Wait.
**[03:27] ---**
--What?
--Wait.
**[03:27] ---**
--What?
--Worst of all,
**[03:29] ---**
all I can think about is Jeanne,
**[03:31] ---**
no matter what I do!
**[03:33] ---**
What in the devil is this?!
**[03:35] ---**
What in the hell is happening to me?!
**[03:38] ---**
Something strange
happened when she bit me.
**[03:41] ---**
It felt so good, far better than usual!
**[03:44] ---**
What?!
**[03:45] ---**
She must have done something to me!
**[03:48] ---**
Maybe her fangs were poisoned,
or she put a curse on me!
**[03:54] ---**
Master Orlok?
**[03:57] ---**
Get out!
**[03:58] ---**
No, please! Let us in!
At least give me some advice!
**[04:03] ---**
Count Orlok!
**[04:05] ---**
You leave me no choice
but to kick this door down!
**[04:08] ---**
Did you hear what he's
threatening to do out there?!
**[04:11] ---**
Don't do anything rash, you barbarians!
**[04:15] ---**
Huh? Vanitas?
**[04:57] ---**
What is this?
**[05:02] ---**
I've never felt this way.
**[05:04] ---**
What am I supposed to do?
**[05:07] ---**
*J'taime!*
**[05:09] ---**
While we were apart,
all I could think about was you,
**[05:12] ---**
and I suffered a
terrible pain in my heart.
**[05:14] ---**
Then it dawned on me.
**[05:16] ---**
This pain I feel is my deep
and abiding love for you!
**[05:22] ---**
Vanitas, what in the devil is love?
**[05:29] ---**
No. Make it stop.
**[05:33] ---**
This can't be happening.
**[05:37] ---**
It makes no sense!
**[05:41] ---**
Pardon me.
**[05:44] ---**
Roland?!
**[05:47] ---**
Oh, dear Vincent.
**[05:48] ---**
Fancy meeting you here!
**[05:53] ---**
A friend of yours?
**[05:55] ---**
Let me introduce you, Vincent.
**[05:57] ---**
This is my comrade in arms, Olivier.
**[06:00] ---**
Olivier?
**[06:02] ---**
As in the Obsidian?
**[06:03] ---**
Have you been causing
trouble outside of work, too?!
**[06:08] ---**
He looks terrified.
**[06:09] ---**
No, I simply had a drinking contest
with Vincent, but only once.
**[06:14] ---**
Then I pity him. You're like a human
sponge when it comes to liquor.
**[06:20] ---**
It seems Roland has done you wrong.
**[06:22] ---**
Let me buy you a cup of coffee.
**[06:25] ---**
That's fine, but he
appears to be in a hurry.
**[06:28] ---**
I'm curious to hear what
you do in your spare time.
**[06:32] ---**
Even if it's a woman on the sly.
**[06:35] ---**
What? I don't have a lover,
at least not now.
**[06:39] ---**
Not now?!
**[06:40] ---**
You were dumped again?
**[06:42] ---**
That dame threw herself
at you the other day!
**[06:45] ---**
If anyone is popular
with the ladies, it's you.
**[06:48] ---**
Vincent, women simply adore Olivier.
**[06:53] ---**
Well, I *am* quite handsome.
**[06:55] ---**
And modest, too!
**[06:58] ---**
In any event,
**[06:59] ---**
I'd like to know ahead of time
if you're up to something.
**[07:04] ---**
It will spare me some pain later.
**[07:06] ---**
Is that so? I feel bad for you, Olivier.
**[07:09] ---**
*You're* the source of my woes, Roland!
**[07:15] ---**
S-Since you're offering,
**[07:18] ---**
I think I *will* have that cup of coffee.
**[07:23] ---**
And you can pilot a small flying
machine at the mooring tower.
**[07:28] ---**
Olivier and I were soaring over
Paris before we came here!
**[07:32] ---**
Try it before the exposition
begins and the line gets too long!
**[07:38] ---**
It's been over 15 minutes,
but Vanitas has yet to say a word.
**[07:49] ---**
Your coffee... It's getting cold.
**[07:54] ---**
Go on!
**[07:58] ---**
Do you...
**[07:59] ---**
Continue.
**[08:00] ---**
What I'm asking is...
**[08:05] ---**
So you have a lot of
experience with romance?
**[08:10] ---**
Experience? Well...
**[08:12] ---**
I don't know about me,
but Olivier is quite experienced.
**[08:15] ---**
That I won't deny.
**[08:17] ---**
Th-This...
**[08:20] ---**
This concerns a friend of mine.
**[08:23] ---**
Huh? Oh, sure! Go on!
**[08:27] ---**
Lately, he can't think of anything but a
certain woman, no matter how he tries.
**[08:34] ---**
He says there's a pain in his heart,
and he can't sleep night after night.
**[08:40] ---**
Really?!
**[08:42] ---**
And his love interest? What is she like?
**[08:45] ---**
Sh-She is beautiful with skin
of white and an ample bosom.
**[08:49] ---**
Not bad.
**[08:50] ---**
Why can't he stop thinking about her?
Did something happen?
**[08:55] ---**
I don't know the details.
**[08:58] ---**
At first, he was entertained
by her reactions.
**[09:02] ---**
He thought that was the only attraction.
**[09:05] ---**
But there were so many
sides of her he never expected.
**[09:09] ---**
It threw him for a loop.
**[09:12] ---**
The other day, she threw him down
as if to claim him, heart and soul,
**[09:15] ---**
and then she kissed him!
**[09:17] ---**
And then...!
**[09:21] ---**
He saw her smile like
she had never before.
**[09:26] ---**
That's about it.
**[09:28] ---**
But that was enough to
sear her image into my mind.
**[09:36] ---**
Olivier.
**[09:38] ---**
Pardon me. My dessert
went down the wrong way.
**[09:44] ---**
So it's like she shines.
**[09:46] ---**
You know what it is?!
**[09:48] ---**
Of course I do, Vincent. Simply put...
**[09:52] ---**
...it's love!
**[09:55] ---**
What's wrong?
**[09:56] ---**
Love?
**[09:58] ---**
That's what it really is? This is...
**[10:02] ---**
...true love?
**[10:04] ---**
How does one cure this disease?
**[10:07] ---**
I'm used to pain, but nothing like this!
**[10:10] ---**
--Van--
**[10:10] ---**
--I can't stand this agony.
--Van--
**[10:11] ---**
--I can't stand this agony.
**[10:13] ---**
This sickly feeling like I'm being
rewritten from the inside...
**[10:18] ---**
I cannot bear it.
**[10:20] ---**
He's not even pretending
this is about his friend anymore.
**[10:24] ---**
B-But, dear Vincent,
**[10:26] ---**
it sounds like your love interest feels
the same about you from what you've said.
**[10:35] ---**
What?
**[10:36] ---**
You didn't know?
**[10:37] ---**
That can't be true.
**[10:39] ---**
No way in hell.
**[10:41] ---**
Why not?
**[10:42] ---**
Why not?!
**[10:43] ---**
Because I approached her,
thinking she'd never love me.
**[10:47] ---**
Why?
**[10:50] ---**
Because it's revolting!
**[10:54] ---**
Why would anyone love someone like me?
**[11:01] ---**
I am shocked.
**[11:03] ---**
You despise yourself
even more than I'd thought.
**[11:08] ---**
What?!
**[11:10] ---**
But it will be all right!
You've nothing to fear!
**[11:13] ---**
If you are incapable of loving yourself,
I will double the love I have for you!
**[11:19] ---**
God's love rains down
on all in equal measure!
**[11:22] ---**
You have simply failed to notice!
**[11:25] ---**
You need not be scared to love someone.
**[11:28] ---**
*You're* scaring me right now!
**[11:31] ---**
Never mind! I'm an idiot
for discussing this with you!
**[11:35] ---**
Idiot. Idiot!
**[11:37] ---**
Don't ever come near me again, you idiot!
**[11:42] ---**
Idiot!
**[11:44] ---**
Dear Gilbert?
**[11:46] ---**
Go on. You better go after him.
**[11:50] ---**
Right. See you later, Roland.
**[11:54] ---**
So, he's that Blue Moon Clan
member everyone's talking about.
**[11:59] ---**
Oh, the cat's out of the bag?
**[12:05] ---**
That's unlike you to
get attached to someone.
**[12:11] ---**
Have I grown attached to him?
**[12:14] ---**
That's how it looks to me.
**[12:17] ---**
I see. Well, Vanitas always seems
like he's at the end of his rope.
**[12:23] ---**
It's as if he'd fall to pieces the
moment I took my eyes off him.
**[12:28] ---**
I just can't leave him like that.
**[12:38] ---**
I am truly sorry for what has transpired.
**[12:41] ---**
I have caused you so much trouble.
**[12:45] ---**
You were acting on my lord uncle's orders.
**[12:47] ---**
There's no need to worry about it.
**[12:51] ---**
Now, let's enjoy our tea
before it gets cold.
**[12:53] ---**
And please tell me all you can
about what happened in Gévaudan.
**[13:02] ---**
I see. That must have
been terrible, Jeanne.
**[13:05] ---**
I don't know if it's my place to say,
**[13:09] ---**
but I'm glad you didn't
have to kill your dear friend.
**[13:14] ---**
After all, I don't want
to see you looking sad.
**[13:19] ---**
Master Luca.
**[13:26] ---**
So, where is Chloé d'Apchier now?
**[13:29] ---**
I do not know.
**[13:31] ---**
I left the rest to Vanitas and
immediately departed from Gévaudan.
**[13:36] ---**
Why?
**[13:37] ---**
I knew I might be questioned on my return,
**[13:39] ---**
so we decided it was best if
I didn't know Chloé's whereabouts.
**[13:43] ---**
I see.
**[13:45] ---**
But I'm sure she'll be fine.
**[13:48] ---**
I now know the sort of person Vanitas is.
**[13:52] ---**
He would never mistreat Chloé.
**[13:56] ---**
Y-You have grown to trust him
quite a bit, h-haven't you?
**[14:02] ---**
It almost seems unnatural.
**[14:05] ---**
Yes, now that you mention it,
it does seem strange.
**[14:10] ---**
Ever since I returned from Gévaudan,
I can't get Vanitas out of my mind.
**[14:17] ---**
I no longer feel the revulsion I once did.
**[14:20] ---**
It's as if there's a shine to him now.
**[14:23] ---**
It's strange, but my heart
begins to race when I think of him.
**[14:27] ---**
But that makes no sense!
**[14:31] ---**
I mean, it's as if...
**[14:33] ---**
It's as if you've... fallen for Vanitas!
**[14:42] ---**
I've fallen for him?
**[14:45] ---**
For Vanitas?
**[14:52] ---**
Oh.
**[14:53] ---**
Oh?
**[15:10] ---**
Please help, Dominique!
**[15:12] ---**
Something is terribly wrong
with my dear Jeanne!
**[15:15] ---**
Is something wrong, Jeanne?!
**[15:17] ---**
Yes, Lady Dominique. It seems...
**[15:23] ---**
It seems I really have fallen for Vanitas.
**[15:30] ---**
Let's slow down and
discuss this rationally.
**[15:33] ---**
Of course!
**[15:34] ---**
Jeanne, have you eaten
anything unusual lately?
**[15:38] ---**
Or perhaps you bumped your head.
**[15:40] ---**
Did someone poison you
when they sucked your blood?!
**[15:43] ---**
Or did you injure your eyes?!
**[15:44] ---**
What?
**[15:45] ---**
How else are we supposed to believe
you could fall for a man like that?!
**[15:49] ---**
That's right!
**[15:50] ---**
I'd understand if you'd fallen for Noé!
**[15:53] ---**
--Huh?
**[15:53] ---**
--He's strong, handsome,
kind, and adorable!
--Huh?
**[15:54] ---**
--He's strong, handsome,
kind, and adorable!
**[15:56] ---**
Domi!
**[15:57] ---**
Surely anyone would fall for him!
**[16:00] ---**
Hard pass on Noé, too!
**[16:01] ---**
I don't want that, either!
**[16:04] ---**
Vanitas is like the polar opposite of Noé!
**[16:07] ---**
He treated you horribly, remember?
**[16:09] ---**
But Vanitas saved me so many times.
**[16:14] ---**
He's a good person.
**[16:16] ---**
Is it all or nothing when it
comes to this girl's feelings?
**[16:21] ---**
I'm so happy.
**[16:23] ---**
Huh?
**[16:24] ---**
After all, I thought romantic love was
something a bourreau could never have.
**[16:30] ---**
It makes one's heart race.
**[16:32] ---**
And it's so thrilling,
one can't sit still.
**[16:37] ---**
But something has me a bit concerned.
**[16:40] ---**
Yes, what is it?
**[16:42] ---**
If my feelings for him
continue to grow unabated,
**[16:46] ---**
and I see him again while I'm like this...
**[16:52] ---**
...I fear I will push him down
**[16:54] ---**
and consummate our love
the moment our eyes meet.
**[16:58] ---**
What's gotten into you?!
**[17:00] ---**
Going all the way the first time
is jumping the gun, isn't it?
**[17:04] ---**
It's not a matter of being
too fast or slow! It's simply vulgar!
**[17:08] ---**
Really?
**[17:09] ---**
My mother kept pushing till she got my
father down and took him for her own.
**[17:14] ---**
She taught you this?!
**[17:16] ---**
I-It's not my place to criticize
how you were brought up,
**[17:19] ---**
but a proper courtship should
begin with an exchange of letters.
**[17:24] ---**
Is that true, Master Luca?
**[17:26] ---**
The sky's so purty.
**[17:27] ---**
Master Luca?!
**[17:28] ---**
Look! You shocked him so badly,
he detached from reality.
**[17:32] ---**
--Master Luca, snap out of it!
**[17:32] ---**
--That rainbow looks yummy.
--Master Luca, snap out of it!
**[17:36] ---**
Have you forgotten already?
**[17:38] ---**
He himself said, "I have zero interest in
the sort of person who would love me."
**[17:43] ---**
It's pointless to love a man like that.
**[17:45] ---**
Really?
**[17:47] ---**
I suppose you're right.
**[17:49] ---**
I must practice now so I can
interact normally with Vanitas.
**[17:52] ---**
No! You've got it all wrong!
**[17:54] ---**
Don't worry, Lady Dominque!
**[17:56] ---**
I won't be so foolish as to
let Vanitas know how I feel.
**[17:59] ---**
I developed quite impressive
acting skills on our previous date!
**[18:06] ---**
A date?! What's that
supposed to mean, Jeanne?!
**[18:10] ---**
What?
**[18:11] ---**
I-I'm astonished. To think
Jeanne could be so intense.
**[18:16] ---**
I never knew she could smile like that.
**[18:19] ---**
When we first met, I thought life
had robbed her of self-confidence.
**[18:25] ---**
I thought I'd have to protect her.
**[18:29] ---**
But there was no need.
**[18:31] ---**
I don't know if it's due to Vanitas,
**[18:34] ---**
but she's far more expressive than before.
**[18:37] ---**
I can't take my eyes off of her.
**[18:42] ---**
I can see why she'd be on Noé's mind.
**[18:46] ---**
She is nothing like me.
**[18:51] ---**
Dominique?
**[18:55] ---**
Noé.
**[18:59] ---**
Noé!
**[19:03] ---**
You'll catch cold if you
stay up there much longer.
**[19:07] ---**
Shut it.
**[19:08] ---**
I just remembered what Manet
told me when we visited Count Orlok.
**[19:14] ---**
Not interested.
**[19:16] ---**
Ever since we left for Gévaudan,
**[19:18] ---**
there's been a series of
vampire attacks here in Paris.
**[19:22] ---**
Might it not be the work
of a curse-bearer?
**[19:25] ---**
No idea.
**[19:32] ---**
Vanitas.
**[19:33] ---**
I'd never met a human who loathed vampires
with all their heart until Gévaudan.
**[19:39] ---**
And I hated him for it.
**[19:41] ---**
I couldn't let him win.
And I don't regret our battle.
**[19:45] ---**
But it got me thinking.
**[19:49] ---**
What made you take one path
and Astolfo another?
**[19:55] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
no doubt played a major role.
**[19:59] ---**
But before that, the smallest of things,
**[20:02] ---**
like the flutter of a butterfly's wings,
could've changed your path.
**[20:10] ---**
And then it might have been you
I fought in Gévaudan.
**[20:16] ---**
What's your point?
**[20:22] ---**
I'm glad it wasn't a Chasseur
I met that day on La Baleine,
**[20:27] ---**
but rather a doctor
who's a vampire specialist.
**[20:34] ---**
Of course, I still don't like you.
**[20:39] ---**
Nevertheless...
**[20:44] ---**
I'm glad you're here just the way you are.
**[20:48] ---**
I know it all sounds self-serving,
**[20:51] ---**
but I wanted you to know.
**[21:06] ---**
Look, they say it's an amusement park.
**[21:09] ---**
Looks like fun. I hope I can go someday.
**[21:17] ---**
Oh, Mademoiselle. Not again?
**[21:29] ---**
This won't do.
**[21:31] ---**
I asked you to bring Monsieur Noé to me.
**[21:36] ---**
Why won't you do as I say?
**[21:39] ---**
If you won't bring him to me,
**[21:43] ---**
I'll just have to use you as bait.
**[21:55] ---**
Forgive me, Mademoiselle Domi.

**[00:02] ---**
Yes?
**[00:04] ---**
A letter arrived for you, Monsieur Noé.
**[00:06] ---**
For me?
**[00:08] ---**
It was left at the front desk.
**[00:21] ---**
I'm waiting for you
with Mademoiselle Domi!
**[01:48] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:00] ---**
Let me introduce you, Noé.
**[02:03] ---**
These are my darling grandchildren,
**[02:05] ---**
Louis and his little sister, Dominique.
**[02:08] ---**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[02:29] ---**
Dominique, I have a favor to ask.
**[02:32] ---**
I want you to give this
to Noé when the time comes.
**[02:37] ---**
Louis?
**[02:39] ---**
You really are
**[02:41] ---**
just like me.
**[02:47] ---**
Domi?
**[02:48] ---**
Noé!
**[02:49] ---**
What's wrong?
**[02:50] ---**
Mina is...
**[02:51] ---**
Mina is to be executed tomorrow?
**[02:56] ---**
But why?
**[02:58] ---**
Why? Because she's a curse-bearer.
**[03:02] ---**
A curse-bearer?
**[03:04] ---**
They are beheaded by a bourreau.
That's the custom.
**[03:09] ---**
Noé, I want to save Mina, too.
**[03:13] ---**
Might we not help her flee the village?
**[03:23] ---**
Mina.
**[03:31] ---**
Domi, Noé.
**[03:35] ---**
Blood. I want blood.
**[03:39] ---**
Blood! Give me blood!
**[03:42] ---**
Domi, run.
**[03:44] ---**
Noé?
**[03:46] ---**
Louis, snap out of it!
**[03:48] ---**
What's the matter?
**[03:51] ---**
Kill me. I want you to kill me.
**[03:56] ---**
If I'm doomed to die, Noé...
**[03:58] ---**
If I'm doomed to die, I want you to...
**[04:03] ---**
...kill me!
**[04:06] ---**
I can't... Louis.
**[04:24] ---**
Louis said he wanted you to
have this when the time came.
**[04:29] ---**
He told me to keep it till then.
**[04:39] ---**
Wooden stakes?
**[04:42] ---**
Noé!
**[04:52] ---**
Forgive me, Noé.
**[05:03] ---**
What shall I do?
**[05:05] ---**
Grandfather says it is likely
a psychological condition.
**[05:09] ---**
Whatever shall I do?
**[05:12] ---**
He hasn't opened his eyes for two days.
**[05:15] ---**
What am I to do if he
never opens them again?
**[05:19] ---**
What am I to do?!
**[05:21] ---**
If only...
**[05:23] ---**
If only I hadn't gone to see Noé that day.
**[05:26] ---**
If I had handled it myself...
**[05:29] ---**
If only I had let go of Mina,
**[05:32] ---**
perhaps that terrible slaughter
would have never occurred.
**[05:37] ---**
At the very least, Noé wouldn't have
seen Louis beheaded right before his eyes.
**[05:42] ---**
Domi?
**[05:44] ---**
Veronica?!
**[05:46] ---**
I came all this way to fetch you
after you never came home.
**[05:52] ---**
This place is as dirty and dusty as ever.
**[05:55] ---**
Now, get ready to leave.
**[05:57] ---**
N-No!
**[06:03] ---**
He ended up like this because of me.
**[06:06] ---**
I cannot simply abandon him.
**[06:10] ---**
Your little brother... Louis is dead.
**[06:14] ---**
Don't you feel anything, dear sister?
**[06:16] ---**
First of all, I do not
*have* a little brother.
**[06:21] ---**
Moreover, he should have
been slain the day he was born.
**[06:26] ---**
You should be thankful he
was allowed to live this long.
**[06:33] ---**
Whatever are you talking about?
**[06:38] ---**
What?! Surely you jest, Domi!
**[06:40] ---**
Are you telling me you did not know?!
**[06:44] ---**
Did you truly believe he was hidden
from the world because he was ill?
**[06:49] ---**
No! You are sorely mistaken!
**[06:52] ---**
You truly are a fool!
**[06:54] ---**
He was hidden away because
**[06:58] ---**
he was your twin!
**[07:02] ---**
What?
**[07:03] ---**
My twin?
**[07:05] ---**
Surely even you must know?
**[07:08] ---**
Twins? Louis and I?
**[07:10] ---**
Twins are said to rob the womb
of far more life than one child.
**[07:14] ---**
In the vampire world,
they are a symbol of misfortune.
**[07:17] ---**
I thought Louis was a year older than me.
**[07:21] ---**
Should anyone learn
your mother bore twins,
**[07:24] ---**
it would tarnish the
good name of House de Sade.
**[07:27] ---**
That's why they chose but one of you.
**[07:32] ---**
In truth, one of you should
have been slain at birth.
**[07:35] ---**
But out of the blue, Grandfather said,
"That would be a waste. I shall take him."
**[07:40] ---**
That's when he took Louis away.
**[07:43] ---**
Even Father cannot defy Grandfather.
**[07:47] ---**
He did say that there was
something he wished to try.
**[07:51] ---**
Why?
**[07:53] ---**
Why did they choose me?
**[07:58] ---**
I wonder.
**[08:00] ---**
Knowing Father, I imagine he decided
based on how he felt at the time.
**[08:06] ---**
Then again, I have no time to waste
thinking of a little brother I never had.
**[08:12] ---**
But if he *had* been chosen over you,
**[08:15] ---**
I wonder if he would have lived up to
our expectations more than you have.
**[08:24] ---**
Louis.
**[08:26] ---**
Did he know about this?
**[08:32] ---**
Louis.
**[08:33] ---**
I wish I could live here all the time.
**[08:38] ---**
I envy you, Louis.
**[08:43] ---**
How could I have said
something so awful to him?
**[08:51] ---**
Noe, are you all right?!
Do you know who I am?!
**[08:56] ---**
Noé!
**[08:59] ---**
Noé!
**[09:01] ---**
Louis!
**[09:03] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[09:05] ---**
I dreamt that you had died.
**[09:09] ---**
Thank goodness, Louis.
**[09:13] ---**
It really was just a dream.
**[09:23] ---**
Noé.
**[09:26] ---**
Noe, do you, too,
wish Louis had been chosen?
**[09:36] ---**
Do you wish that
**[09:39] ---**
Louis lived instead of me?
**[09:56] ---**
You poor thing.
**[09:57] ---**
How about calling off the search?
**[10:00] ---**
I'll keep looking a bit longer.
**[10:02] ---**
Why are you so concerned
about the Hellfire Witch?
**[10:08] ---**
Isn't it in your best interest for
those two to become an item?
**[10:13] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[10:20] ---**
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
**[10:22] ---**
Well, if you'll excuse me,
Mademoiselle Dominique.
**[10:27] ---**
Oh, so your name is Dominique.
**[10:33] ---**
Mikhail!
**[10:35] ---**
That's my name!
**[10:40] ---**
Huh? Are you crying, mademoiselle?
**[10:45] ---**
You poor thing.
**[10:47] ---**
Huh?
**[10:49] ---**
I pity you, mademoiselle.
**[11:01] ---**
I wish it was I who became a curse-bearer.
**[11:05] ---**
I wish it was I who was beheaded.
**[11:10] ---**
I wish it was Louis
**[11:12] ---**
who was now by Noé's side.
**[11:18] ---**
Why was it not me?
**[11:21] ---**
I should have died.
**[11:24] ---**
If I had died...
**[11:29] ---**
Please forgive me, Noé.
**[11:33] ---**
There, there.
**[11:35] ---**
There, there. Don't cry, mademoiselle.
**[11:39] ---**
I'm sure your prince will
come for you before long.
**[11:43] ---**
Then the tragic princess
will find happiness,
**[11:48] ---**
and we can return to
our families once more.
**[11:52] ---**
Isn't that right, mademoiselle?
**[11:55] ---**
Vanitas! I finally found you!
**[11:57] ---**
Amelia?
**[11:58] ---**
It's Monsieur Noé!
Something terrible has happened!
**[12:20] ---**
I bid you welcome!
**[12:22] ---**
Thank you for coming, Monsieur Noé!
**[12:27] ---**
--I am--
**[12:28] ---**
--Where is Domi?!
--I am--
**[12:29] ---**
Oh my!
**[12:35] ---**
An automaton?
**[12:38] ---**
Mikhail?
**[12:40] ---**
Did the letter truly bear that name?
**[12:45] ---**
He's alive?
**[12:48] ---**
This is bad.
**[12:53] ---**
Stay away from him!
**[12:55] ---**
He is...
**[13:01] ---**
We didn't even introduce ourselves.
**[13:04] ---**
You're quite hasty, aren't you?
**[13:09] ---**
A cover of blue leather,
pages as black as night,
**[13:13] ---**
a clockwork grimoire
linked to a silver chain...
**[13:17] ---**
Let's try that again. I am Mikhail.
**[13:21] ---**
Only this book was passed down to me
by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[13:26] ---**
Yet I'm but a human!
**[13:33] ---**
There is another *Book of Vanitas*?
**[13:39] ---**
Just kidding. I was
channeling my big brother!
**[13:44] ---**
Of course, you know who
that is, right, Monsieur Noé?
**[13:48] ---**
My big brother is the
one you all call Vanitas.
**[13:53] ---**
You told Mademoiselle Domi
what my brother said to you.
**[13:58] ---**
And then Mademoiselle Domi told me.
**[14:02] ---**
But all these monsieurs and
mademoiselles are getting tedious.
**[14:05] ---**
Shall we drop them?
**[14:07] ---**
Hasn't my big brother
told you anything about me?
**[14:11] ---**
You know, like, "I have
a darling little brother."
**[14:13] ---**
Or did he mention Number 71?
**[14:16] ---**
How is Number 71 doing?
**[14:20] ---**
You're 71?!
**[14:21] ---**
I came here today to ask you a favor, Noé.
**[14:30] ---**
Domi!
**[14:32] ---**
She won't hesitate to jump
if anyone lays a finger on me.
**[14:37] ---**
Why's he doing this?
**[14:39] ---**
You don't want that, do you?
**[14:41] ---**
I don't, either.
**[14:42] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[14:43] ---**
Mademoiselle Domi is so kind. I'd hate
to see her splatter on the ground.
**[14:48] ---**
Did he do something to her true name?
**[14:51] ---**
So, I want you to suck my brother's blood.
**[14:55] ---**
What?
**[14:56] ---**
There's something I simply must know.
**[15:00] ---**
I need to know why my
brother killed Father that day.
**[15:05] ---**
But he never will tell me when I ask.
**[15:11] ---**
So I'd like you to take a peek for me.
**[15:16] ---**
You're good at that
sort of thing, aren't you?
**[15:20] ---**
Sink your fangs into his pale skin, Noé.
**[15:26] ---**
Lay bare that memory in Vanitas's blood.
**[15:29] ---**
Dominique's missing?!
**[15:31] ---**
Indeed she is. She failed
to report for duty at the castle.
**[15:36] ---**
A messenger was sent to
Marquis de Sade's manor,
**[15:39] ---**
but it's been three days since anyone saw
her at the main residence or the villa.
**[15:45] ---**
Being that she is of House de Sade,
we cannot rule out capricious action.
**[15:50] ---**
Dominique would never do such a thing!
**[15:52] ---**
She has never once
neglected her royal guard duty.
**[15:57] ---**
Three days ago? That's when we last met.
**[16:00] ---**
Did something happen after that?
**[16:02] ---**
Jeanne.
**[16:04] ---**
May I ask you a favor?
**[16:14] ---**
I don't understand.
**[16:17] ---**
This person you call "Father."
**[16:22] ---**
Are you saying Vanitas killed him?
**[16:27] ---**
Huh? Wait a moment.
**[16:31] ---**
Oh, right...
**[16:36] ---**
Sorry. I was a bit startled by that.
**[16:39] ---**
It seems I jumped to conclusions.
**[16:43] ---**
After all this time together...
**[16:47] ---**
...you don't know a thing
about my brother, do you, Noé?
**[16:53] ---**
Now I see.
**[16:55] ---**
Telling you to suck my brother's
blood has thrown you for a loop.
**[17:01] ---**
I know!
**[17:14] ---**
Instead of his blood,
help yourself to mine.
**[17:22] ---**
First, I'll use my blood to
tell you all about my brother.
**[17:27] ---**
Well, come on.
**[17:31] ---**
I'll catch cold if you don't hurry.
**[17:33] ---**
And mademoiselle will, too.
**[17:39] ---**
Domi.
**[17:41] ---**
Domi. What happened to your hair?
**[17:45] ---**
Why would you...?
**[17:47] ---**
This? I cut it off
because it was in the way.
**[17:51] ---**
Does it suit me, Noé?
**[18:06] ---**
I must do all I can to protect Domi.
**[18:09] ---**
Even if...
**[18:11] ---**
...it costs me my life.
**[18:16] ---**
It's time, Noé.
**[18:43] ---**
She, or should I say,
he is the child who survived?
**[18:47] ---**
Yes, he was found hiding under a bed.
**[18:50] ---**
The Church took him into its care.
**[18:52] ---**
His mother was a prostitute.
**[18:55] ---**
Why'd she dress him like a girl?
**[18:57] ---**
It seems she was offering
the child to her best customers.
**[19:13] ---**
You must not go in there.
**[19:15] ---**
You'll never find your way out once
you enter the underground level.
**[19:18] ---**
It's a scary maze down there.
**[19:22] ---**
A mummy! It's alive!
**[19:25] ---**
Huh?
**[19:27] ---**
I'm going to eat you!
**[19:33] ---**
Monsieur?
**[19:35] ---**
Yes?
**[19:36] ---**
When can I go home?
**[19:40] ---**
You have a new home starting from today.
**[19:45] ---**
I hear that there are lots
of children your age there.
**[19:49] ---**
I'm sure you'll make new friends.
**[19:52] ---**
I don't understand.
**[19:53] ---**
You'll see.
**[19:57] ---**
Monsieur?
**[19:58] ---**
Yes?
**[20:00] ---**
Why did they have to kill that vampire?
**[20:05] ---**
That vampire killed your mother.
**[20:10] ---**
No, he saved her!
**[20:15] ---**
My mother made a really
scary face when she would hit me.
**[20:20] ---**
But I knew better.
**[20:23] ---**
She only did that when the
demon inside her was being bad.
**[20:28] ---**
She was also mad
**[20:31] ---**
the whole time the vampire was there.
**[20:35] ---**
But after that, her kind
face slowly returned.
**[20:40] ---**
My mother was really pretty!
**[20:45] ---**
I bet that vampire got rid
of the demon inside her!
**[20:52] ---**
Dear God...
**[20:54] ---**
What's wrong, monsieur?
**[20:56] ---**
You poor child.
**[20:58] ---**
The vampires have already led you astray.
**[21:02] ---**
O Lord, I beseech you!
Please forgive this child!
**[21:08] ---**
O Lord!
**[21:09] ---**
Roland!
**[21:11] ---**
I told you!
You must rest until you're well!
**[21:15] ---**
--Wait! I'm helping this child!
--Don't sneak out of your room!
**[21:21] ---**
Yes, but the child you procured for me
last time broke almost immediately.
**[21:28] ---**
And just when I was
hoping for a replacement,
**[21:31] ---**
I found this one in
the most convenient place!
**[21:34] ---**
There's no need to worry!
**[21:38] ---**
They're scrambling to deal
with that prostitute's murder.
**[21:41] ---**
If a child in their care goes missing,
**[21:44] ---**
they'll chalk it up to a runaway
and leave it at that.
**[21:48] ---**
The child's awakened!
**[21:50] ---**
All right, I'll have you
look after this one!
**[21:55] ---**
I'm counting on you,
**[21:58] ---**
Number 69!
**[22:01] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Hello.
**[00:12] ---**
What's your name?
**[00:15] ---**
I'm Mikhail, but you can call me Misha!
**[00:19] ---**
Your name isn't Mikhail anymore.
**[00:23] ---**
It's Number 71!
**[00:26] ---**
We're nothing more
than Moreau's guinea pigs!
**[00:43] ---**
Ow!
**[02:11] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:19] ---**
--No!
**[02:20] ---**
--Doctor. The test subject is too young.
--No!
**[02:23] ---**
He won't survive much more.
**[02:25] ---**
Well, we can bring in
the next child in that case.
**[02:30] ---**
I'm so close to creating what I want.
**[02:35] ---**
Humans that can serve as a link!
**[02:42] ---**
Help me, big brother!
**[02:45] ---**
Help!
**[02:47] ---**
Big brother!
**[02:53] ---**
Doctor!
**[02:56] ---**
I will do it.
**[03:00] ---**
Use me instead of that little brat!
**[03:05] ---**
Doctor, let me help you
achieve your noble purpose!
**[03:14] ---**
How marvelous!
**[03:17] ---**
Has there ever been
a single child like you
**[03:20] ---**
who's willingly cooperated
in my experiments?!
**[03:23] ---**
No, there hasn't!
**[03:24] ---**
But of course, Number 69!
What a marvelous idea!
**[03:28] ---**
Together we shall draw one step closer
**[03:31] ---**
to the great wisdom of
the vampires and the world!
**[03:40] ---**
Thank you, big brother.
**[03:44] ---**
I was wondering if I could
sleep with you tonight.
**[03:55] ---**
You're so warm.
**[04:01] ---**
Ta-da!
**[04:04] ---**
My experiment has entered its final phase!
**[04:09] ---**
I'll use this to link you two
to *The Books of Vanitas*.
**[04:14] ---**
*The Books of Vanitas*?
**[04:16] ---**
Yes, that's an excellent
question, Number 69!
**[04:19] ---**
These books were created by
the Vampire of the Blue Moon!
**[04:24] ---**
But they're even more legendary
than that legendary vampire!
**[04:28] ---**
They're powered by
a special form of astermite.
**[04:30] ---**
They pack sorcery, alchemy, and many other
technologies into miniature machines.
**[04:35] ---**
They're analytical engines in book form!
**[04:39] ---**
Supposedly, one can use these books
**[04:43] ---**
to easily alter the World Formula!
**[04:45] ---**
Supposedly?
**[04:50] ---**
That's right! They won't open,
no matter how I try!
**[04:53] ---**
From what I've heard, only members
of the Blue Moon Clan can do that!
**[04:59] ---**
Isn't that awful?!
**[05:01] ---**
Isn't it so unfair!
**[05:07] ---**
And so...
**[05:10] ---**
I decided to transform you two into
quasi members of the Blue Moon Clan!
**[05:18] ---**
What?
**[05:19] ---**
I wish to make human switches,
**[05:21] ---**
their only purpose being
to open the books!
**[05:24] ---**
You know that blue fluid
I often inject you with?
**[05:28] ---**
Do you know what it is?
**[05:30] ---**
Tick.
**[05:31] ---**
Tick.
**[05:32] ---**
Tick.
**[05:33] ---**
Sorry, time's up! You lose!
**[05:37] ---**
Prepare to be amazed!
**[05:39] ---**
It's none other than
**[05:41] ---**
the Vampire of the Blue Moon's blood!
**[05:46] ---**
Oh, dear, what's wrong?
**[05:48] ---**
You're so startled,
you've been rendered speechless?!
**[05:51] ---**
I know how you feel!
**[05:54] ---**
Big brother?
**[05:55] ---**
To prevent a fatal rejection response,
**[05:57] ---**
I injected you ever so gradually
with the vampire's blood
**[06:01] ---**
along with special medicine.
**[06:07] ---**
Big brother!
**[06:09] ---**
Didn't you notice your wounds
have been healing faster than before?
**[06:14] ---**
You've been elevated one step
beyond human bounds!
**[06:18] ---**
You are now a very special kind of being!
**[06:21] ---**
I am going to kill you.
**[06:23] ---**
I have the two *Books of Vanitas*
and the two of you!
**[06:28] ---**
Perfect, don't you think?
**[06:37] ---**
No!
**[06:38] ---**
That hurts!
**[06:39] ---**
Stop it!
**[06:41] ---**
I'm going to kill you!
**[06:42] ---**
I swear I'll murder every last one of you!
**[06:46] ---**
How dare you do this to me?!
**[06:51] ---**
Oh, right, I forgot to mention one thing.
**[06:54] ---**
Once I activate this machine,
**[06:56] ---**
the shock of linking to the books
may turn you both into vegetables.
**[07:00] ---**
So let me express my
gratitude while I can.
**[07:03] ---**
Thank you, Numbers 69 and 71.
**[07:07] ---**
I will never forget you!
**[07:25] ---**
What's happening?!
**[07:31] ---**
What the blazes?!
**[07:54] ---**
Big brother!
**[08:01] ---**
Dear me.
**[08:03] ---**
Some humans come up
with the most ludicrous ideas.
**[08:12] ---**
Now then, I think I've done
quite enough damage.
**[08:17] ---**
I must go before the Chasseurs arrive.
**[08:22] ---**
No, don't go!
**[08:24] ---**
Take us with you!
**[08:30] ---**
Take us, too.
**[08:41] ---**
Oh, my.
**[08:46] ---**
Well, this wouldn't have
happened if not for me.
**[08:54] ---**
How could he be so cruel?
**[08:57] ---**
They are but children.
**[09:00] ---**
Mikhail.
**[09:02] ---**
Well, what will you do?
**[09:09] ---**
Will you, too...
**[09:12] ---**
...come with me?
**[09:20] ---**
Big brother.
**[09:48] ---**
We've gone far enough.
We should be safe for now.
**[09:52] ---**
We're still not that far from town.
**[09:56] ---**
The Chasseurs will be here before you--
**[09:58] ---**
No, they won't.
**[10:01] ---**
That researcher... Moreau, was it?
**[10:05] ---**
He was engaged in acts
banned by Church teachings.
**[10:11] ---**
When the Chasseur's come running
and find what he's done,
**[10:14] ---**
they will scramble to control
the damage rather than pursue us.
**[10:19] ---**
And most of the researchers that
were there have likely been slain.
**[10:26] ---**
Now that we're safe and sound,
I'd like for us to introduce ourselves.
**[10:31] ---**
--My name is Mikhail!
But you can call me Misha!
**[10:34] ---**
--Wait, Mikhail!
--My name is Mikhail!
But you can call me Misha!
**[10:36] ---**
Misha?
**[10:37] ---**
Yes?!
**[10:39] ---**
I regret to say I have no name
with which to introduce myself.
**[10:44] ---**
Or perhaps it would be best to say
**[10:46] ---**
I have yet no name
with which I'm satisfied.
**[11:02] ---**
I am the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[11:10] ---**
There are some who call me Vanitas.
**[11:16] ---**
You're beautiful.
**[11:20] ---**
The Vampire... of the Blue Moon?
**[11:29] ---**
Big brother?!
**[11:30] ---**
You went straight for my eyes.
**[11:33] ---**
I take it you were among the
children the Chasseurs were training.
**[11:37] ---**
Have you taken us away to devour us?!
**[11:42] ---**
Blue blood?
**[11:46] ---**
You're mistaken.
**[11:47] ---**
Then what?!
**[11:48] ---**
Have you come to reclaim your
blood that they injected into us?
**[11:54] ---**
I took you
**[11:56] ---**
because you asked for my help.
**[12:03] ---**
N-No. I never...
**[12:08] ---**
...asked...
**[12:11] ---**
Big brother!
**[12:12] ---**
Dear me.
**[12:27] ---**
My big brother's awake!
**[12:36] ---**
You need not worry.
**[12:39] ---**
This is the home of a human with
whom I've been long acquainted.
**[12:42] ---**
Don't be absurd.
**[12:45] ---**
Why would a vampire be
acquainted with a human?
**[12:50] ---**
It's not unheard of.
**[12:52] ---**
Those who come from a long line
of alchemists or sorcerers
**[12:55] ---**
have always had an affinity for
vampires rather than the Church.
**[13:01] ---**
Your exhaustion took a toll
once you let your guard down.
**[13:04] ---**
Were you not always braced to
defend Misha at a moment's notice?
**[13:09] ---**
But now, all you need do is rest.
**[13:16] ---**
I will sing you a lullaby
so you may better sleep.
**[13:20] ---**
I want to sing, too.
**[13:23] ---**
Very well.
**[13:25] ---**
What sorts of songs did
your mother sing to you?
**[13:30] ---**
What?
**[13:31] ---**
Hm? Oh...
**[13:34] ---**
You called out "Mother"
many times in your delirium.
**[13:40] ---**
That's a lie.
**[13:42] ---**
No, it's not.
**[13:44] ---**
Yes, it is.
**[13:46] ---**
There's no way I said that. After all...
**[13:50] ---**
My mother died when I was born.
**[13:54] ---**
I would never call for her.
I would never...
**[14:09] ---**
Big brother...
**[14:26] ---**
So then...
**[14:28] ---**
...you lived alone with your father?
**[14:34] ---**
It wasn't just the two of us.
**[14:37] ---**
There were others.
**[14:40] ---**
Others?
**[14:41] ---**
My father was born to a good family,
and he became a doctor.
**[14:46] ---**
But he abandoned them
after meeting my mother,
**[14:49] ---**
who was part of a traveling
show that came to town.
**[14:53] ---**
A bold move.
**[14:55] ---**
What's a traveling show?
**[14:57] ---**
It's like a circus.
**[15:00] ---**
It wasn't as respectable as that.
**[15:03] ---**
I got the feeling my father
didn't care for them too much.
**[15:08] ---**
We went to all sorts
of places with the show.
**[15:12] ---**
You don't say?
**[15:14] ---**
They told me I looked
a lot like my mother.
**[15:18] ---**
I see. Then she was a beauty.
**[15:21] ---**
I think so, too!
**[15:23] ---**
But she died because of me.
**[15:28] ---**
My father should have
hated me for that, but...
**[15:37] ---**
When the vampires attacked,
**[15:39] ---**
Father died protecting me!
**[15:43] ---**
Why?
**[15:44] ---**
I want to ask him that, but I can't.
**[15:47] ---**
I'll never know the answer.
**[15:55] ---**
Do you hate vampires?
**[15:57] ---**
Of course I do!
**[15:59] ---**
I want to wipe them
from the face of the earth!
**[16:01] ---**
I want to make this world clean again!
**[16:04] ---**
That's why I vowed to
live my life as a Chasseur!
**[16:08] ---**
I...
**[16:11] ---**
They often experimented on vampires
they brought to Moreau's lab.
**[16:18] ---**
At first, I felt they were
getting their just deserts.
**[16:21] ---**
But gradually,
**[16:23] ---**
I came to realize humans are
the most terrifying monsters of all.
**[16:32] ---**
Would it have not been easy for one
like you to escape from such a place?
**[16:39] ---**
So why did you stay?
**[16:42] ---**
Moreau led the Chasseurs to
believe that I had died in battle.
**[16:48] ---**
He killed a stranger and
passed his body off as mine.
**[16:52] ---**
And he told me he would simply
obtain another child if I left.
**[16:58] ---**
So I felt I had no choice
but to remain there.
**[17:09] ---**
I didn't want to think about any of it.
**[17:12] ---**
I didn't understand.
**[17:14] ---**
And I still don't.
**[17:17] ---**
What am I to do now?
**[17:22] ---**
I have learned something.
**[17:26] ---**
You are a truly kind child.
**[17:37] ---**
No, I'm not.
**[17:38] ---**
Yes, you are.
**[17:41] ---**
No, I'm not at all like that. I'm...
**[17:58] ---**
Big brother?
**[18:00] ---**
Forget what I said!
**[18:02] ---**
Forget every last word I said yesterday.
Wipe it clean from your brain!
**[18:08] ---**
Yesterday? From when to when?
**[18:12] ---**
From the moment we left the lab?
**[18:14] ---**
Or from the time you feverishly yelled,
"No, no, no!" while you cried?
**[18:19] ---**
Just forget it, already!
**[18:21] ---**
Oh, you're awake? Good timing.
**[18:24] ---**
I just finished making breakfast.
**[18:26] ---**
Breakfast? I'm starving!
**[18:32] ---**
Now, eat up! You need all
the nutrients you can get.
**[18:41] ---**
You really *are* trying
to kill us, aren't you?
**[18:44] ---**
Why would you say that?
**[18:46] ---**
What is this sludge-like toxic waste?!
**[18:49] ---**
It's called soup.
**[18:51] ---**
I added lots of medicinal herbs
so it would be good for you.
**[18:54] ---**
And I just freshly drew this milk.
**[18:58] ---**
Why is it all black and disgusting?!
**[19:01] ---**
And this room is filthy!
It's full of spider webs and rats!
**[19:04] ---**
I didn't notice yesterday.
**[19:06] ---**
But if you're staying in someone's home,
keep it clean! Unbelievable!
**[19:13] ---**
Fine. Do everything yourself.
**[19:15] ---**
Stop sulking, you big baby!
**[19:25] ---**
How's that?!
**[19:28] ---**
Yummy!
**[19:30] ---**
Oh my, I am utterly defeated.
**[19:33] ---**
You're a most magnificent child.
**[19:38] ---**
More, please!
**[19:43] ---**
There is no point hiding it.
**[19:47] ---**
You both will likely die before too long.
**[19:52] ---**
It may be in a month, six months,
**[19:55] ---**
or even five years from now. Who can say?
**[19:59] ---**
But that day will come.
**[20:04] ---**
Moreau's experiments have forced
your bodies beyond what is human.
**[20:08] ---**
You are now getting closer
to the race of vampires.
**[20:13] ---**
But your bodies waver
precariously on a razor's edge.
**[20:17] ---**
At any moment, the balance may tip,
and your current state
**[20:22] ---**
will be in unbearable conflict
with the natural order.
**[20:26] ---**
It is then that your bodies
will begin to break down.
**[20:32] ---**
Come with me if you
have nowhere else to turn.
**[20:37] ---**
Together we shall seek a way to save you.
**[20:49] ---**
Father, am I going to die?
**[20:53] ---**
There is one way to save you
that I have yet to mention.
**[20:59] ---**
I could make you members of my clan.
**[21:04] ---**
But that...
**[21:06] ---**
It's not something I wanted to resort to.
**[21:12] ---**
I want to join your clan, Father.
**[21:16] ---**
After all, it means the three of us
can be together forever, doesn't it?
**[21:22] ---**
I don't ever want to be
a member of your clan,
**[21:26] ---**
even if it meant dying tomorrow.
**[21:29] ---**
I want to continue being
human until the end.
**[21:45] ---**
You finally made it,
**[21:47] ---**
big brother!
**[21:57] ---**
What have you done to him?

**[00:05] ---**
What have you done to him?
**[00:08] ---**
You're worried about him?
**[00:11] ---**
I simply let Noé suck my blood.
**[00:16] ---**
After all, he didn't
know anything about us.
**[00:20] ---**
I thought I'd let him have a peek
before he sucked your blood.
**[00:27] ---**
My blood?
**[00:31] ---**
Now I see.
**[00:34] ---**
Mikhail.
**[00:35] ---**
Call me *Misha*.
**[00:37] ---**
You don't remember anything.
**[00:42] ---**
You don't remember what
happened to us that day?
**[00:49] ---**
Or why I killed Luna,
the Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[00:57] ---**
Nothing at all?
**[02:22] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:31] ---**
Oh.
**[02:33] ---**
Now I see.
**[02:36] ---**
That's right. So isn't it only
natural that I would want to know?
**[02:40] ---**
But that's not the only reason I'm here.
**[02:44] ---**
I came to get you, Big Brother!
**[02:48] ---**
You thought I was dead, didn't you?
**[02:51] ---**
I did, too!
**[02:52] ---**
My memory is foggy,
and I can't remember much.
**[02:57] ---**
But I do recall feeling pain,
bitterness, and cold.
**[03:02] ---**
But then someone kind saved me.
**[03:11] ---**
And they told me there's a
way to bring Father back to life!
**[03:16] ---**
Isn't that amazing? All three of us
will be able to live together again!
**[03:21] ---**
Forget your stupid revenge,
and come with me, big brother!
**[03:30] ---**
That's not like you.
**[03:32] ---**
You usually don't use guns.
**[03:36] ---**
Bring that vampire back?
**[03:38] ---**
Are you insane?!
**[03:40] ---**
Do you know how hard
I tried to wipe out all traces
**[03:43] ---**
of that vampire's existence?!
**[03:46] ---**
P-Please, stop this!
**[03:48] ---**
If something happens
to Mikhail, Domi will...!
**[03:52] ---**
Domi will jump from up there!
**[04:00] ---**
Get out of the way.
I will finish him off myself.
**[04:06] ---**
No, I can't do that!
**[04:09] ---**
Vanitas. He's holding Domi hostage!
**[04:13] ---**
He must have done
something with that book of his.
**[04:16] ---**
So what if he has?
**[04:18] ---**
It has nothing to do with me.
**[04:21] ---**
But...
**[04:24] ---**
That may be true.
**[04:29] ---**
But I'm begging you, Vanitas!
**[04:31] ---**
Please tell me what happened that day!
**[04:35] ---**
I know you have your reasons!
**[04:38] ---**
But I don't want to do
what Mikhail wants me to.
**[04:42] ---**
If you would only tell me yourself--
**[04:48] ---**
Spare me.
**[04:51] ---**
You've got the wrong impression.
**[04:56] ---**
We're only working together
because our interests happened to align.
**[05:00] ---**
Vanitas.
**[05:01] ---**
You're nobody to me.
**[05:04] ---**
I'll leave when you're no longer useful.
**[05:05] ---**
--Vanitas.
**[05:06] ---**
--I'll kill you if you get in my way.
--Vanitas.
**[05:07] ---**
--I'll kill you if you get in my way.
--Vani--
**[05:08] ---**
--That's all you are to me.
--Vani--
**[05:09] ---**
Vanitas!
**[05:12] ---**
None of that matters right now!
Domi is the one person I can't lose!
**[05:18] ---**
I can't because I failed to protect Louis!
**[05:23] ---**
Louis?
**[05:25] ---**
Louis is Mademoiselle Domi's big brother.
**[05:28] ---**
He was beheaded for being a curse-bearer,
right in front of Noé and Domi.
**[05:34] ---**
She couldn't stop crying.
**[05:36] ---**
And she said, "I wish
I'd been the curse-bearer,"
**[05:41] ---**
and "Noé would've been happier
if Louis had lived instead of me."
**[05:47] ---**
Domi. You're going to
keep your hair short now?
**[05:52] ---**
It's not that I don't like it.
I mean, it suits you well, but...
**[05:58] ---**
I like you with long hair, too!
**[06:03] ---**
That's the Domi I know and love.
**[06:07] ---**
I really like it!
**[06:12] ---**
Really?
**[06:14] ---**
You wouldn't mind if
I grew my hair long again?
**[06:21] ---**
Enough!
**[06:23] ---**
Go lick each other's wounds elsewhere!
**[06:26] ---**
Just leave me out of it!
**[06:29] ---**
And I already told you!
**[06:31] ---**
I *will* kill you if you
try to suck my blood!
**[06:34] ---**
Now get out of my sight!
**[06:38] ---**
But if you won't budge,
I'll start by finishing her off!
**[06:43] ---**
That would set you free, at least.
**[06:46] ---**
That bossy dame
wouldn't bedevil you anymore!
**[07:01] ---**
I beg you.
**[07:03] ---**
Don't ever let anyone seize your memories.
**[08:02] ---**
Yes! That's it! Don't give up, you two!
**[08:07] ---**
Fight like you're banishing
a nightmare in dreamland!
**[08:11] ---**
Lose yourself in your murderous rage!
**[08:24] ---**
Kill him. Kill...
**[08:29] ---**
Kill him. Kill...
**[08:35] ---**
I *will* kill anyone who tries to seize
my memories, no matter who they are.
**[08:40] ---**
Kill him. Kill.
**[08:44] ---**
I will...
**[08:49] ---**
...kill Noé.
**[08:52] ---**
I will kill... that vampire!
**[10:25] ---**
What's the point of this?
**[10:31] ---**
Dante?!
**[10:32] ---**
Oh, dear! What happened to you?!
**[10:34] ---**
Did you get into another drunken brawl?
**[10:37] ---**
No! That quack did a number on me!
**[10:41] ---**
Dear Vanitas did this?
**[10:43] ---**
The fool stole my god damn gun.
**[10:46] ---**
You see, it seems something terrible
may have befallen Lady Dominique.
**[10:52] ---**
Noé went racing off with murder
in his eyes when he heard that.
**[10:56] ---**
That's when I knew I had
to tell Monsieur Vanitas.
**[11:01] ---**
I just hope that damn quack
doesn't end up attacking his chum.
**[11:06] ---**
Why would he do that?!
Didn't Vanitas go to save Noé?!
**[11:11] ---**
Most likely not.
He had this look in his eyes.
**[11:15] ---**
But even if Noé can only use one arm,
he's still far more powerful than Vanitas.
**[11:21] ---**
So it won't get that bad, will it?
**[11:23] ---**
I wouldn't be so sure.
**[11:24] ---**
Noé's never killed anyone, has he?
**[11:31] ---**
He knows how strong he is,
so he thinks he can keep his hands clean.
**[11:38] ---**
He abhors violence, but he knows
he can use it to silence others.
**[11:46] ---**
It's so annoying.
**[11:53] ---**
The bullet only grazed my eyelid.
It shouldn't be an issue, so then why...
**[12:01] ---**
I'm stronger and faster than Vanitas,
yet I still can't catch him.
**[12:05] ---**
It's as if he's anticipating
my every move.
**[12:10] ---**
If I don't hurry, Domi will...!
**[12:17] ---**
He's coming right at me!
**[12:19] ---**
This is bad.
**[12:20] ---**
--He's a goner if I score a direct hit.
**[12:22] ---**
--Stop!
--He's a goner if I score a direct hit.
**[12:22] ---**
--Stop!
--I can't stop, but I
don't want to kill him.
**[12:23] ---**
--Stop!
--I can't stop, but I
don't want to kill him.
**[12:24] ---**
Stop!
**[12:26] ---**
Stop this.
**[12:28] ---**
Some don't want to kill
because they are strong.
**[12:32] ---**
Others will do anything to
survive because they are weak.
**[12:37] ---**
But when the chips are down, one sees
the crucial difference between them.
**[13:13] ---**
I would have already killed
him if I hadn't held back.
**[13:22] ---**
No, that's not it.
**[13:26] ---**
He's coming at me because
he's sure I don't want to kill him.
**[13:32] ---**
He's most likely aware of attack
patterns that I don't even realize I have.
**[13:39] ---**
That's why...
**[13:45] ---**
Damn you.
**[13:47] ---**
He said I don't know a thing about you!
**[13:51] ---**
Then he laughed at me!
**[13:55] ---**
It's always the same with you!
**[13:58] ---**
You always have this look
as if you alone know everything!
**[14:02] ---**
And yet you never tell me anything!
**[14:08] ---**
It makes me sick!
**[14:10] ---**
The way you've treated
those dear to me with contempt!
**[14:13] ---**
The way you've never
listened to a word I've said!
**[14:17] ---**
And the way you've dismissed
everything so far as if it never happened!
**[14:23] ---**
Don't you have anything
to say for yourself, Vanitas?!
**[14:27] ---**
At least say *something*?!
**[14:36] ---**
You're wasting your breath.
**[14:38] ---**
My brother used a form
of self-hypnosis on himself.
**[14:45] ---**
So now, if anyone tries
to seize his memories,
**[14:48] ---**
he'll try to kill them without fail.
**[14:54] ---**
No matter who they are, he *will* kill them.
**[15:04] ---**
Don't worry, big brother.
Even if you slay Noé,
**[15:08] ---**
even if it leaves you damaged and
torn up inside because you miss him,
**[15:12] ---**
I'll be by your side forever and ever.
**[15:16] ---**
I'm the only one who'll always be there.
**[15:29] ---**
Noé.
**[15:31] ---**
Noé's hurt. I must help him.
**[15:36] ---**
No.
**[15:37] ---**
Misha's watch alarm
will go off any moment now.
**[15:41] ---**
I'll have to jump from the
Ferris wheel when I hear it.
**[15:47] ---**
Yes. That's what I must do.
**[15:53] ---**
B-But...
**[15:55] ---**
But I can't bear to stand here,
watching Noé get hurt.
**[16:02] ---**
I couldn't go on living
if I were to lose him.
**[16:08] ---**
Then how about this?
**[16:11] ---**
You can do what Misha
told you *and* stop Noé's battle.
**[16:17] ---**
There's a way to do both, isn't there?
**[16:22] ---**
All right.
**[16:24] ---**
I'll do it.
**[16:33] ---**
If Noé won't get hurt
anymore because of me...
**[16:39] ---**
If I can keep him from
crying like he did that time...
**[16:45] ---**
That's silly.
**[16:49] ---**
Are you truly doing that for Noé?
**[16:53] ---**
Domi!
**[17:05] ---**
Who's that?
**[17:06] ---**
Lady Dominique! Are you all right?!
**[17:10] ---**
My lady! Are you hurt?
**[17:12] ---**
Jeanne!
**[17:13] ---**
Noé, what is going on here?!
Why are you and Vanitas fighting?
**[17:19] ---**
Lady Dominique?!
**[17:20] ---**
Jeanne. I don't want you here.
**[17:25] ---**
Stay back. No, go away.
**[17:30] ---**
I hate you, Jeanne!
**[17:35] ---**
N-No.
**[17:37] ---**
I mustn't...
**[17:40] ---**
Mademoiselle.
**[17:41] ---**
Everyone who stands
in our way is a villain.
**[17:45] ---**
Will you slay them with me?
**[17:47] ---**
So you're the one behind all this?!
**[17:51] ---**
Jeanne, don't! He is--
**[17:53] ---**
Noé!
**[17:54] ---**
I'm here on Master Luca's orders!
**[17:57] ---**
I'm going to save Lady
Dominique! That is my vow!
**[18:01] ---**
Vanitas is yours.
**[18:03] ---**
Keep an eye on him!
**[18:06] ---**
Keep an eye... on Vanitas?
**[18:10] ---**
I don't need to be told that.
**[18:24] ---**
Now you won't be able to use
that scary weapon for a while.
**[18:29] ---**
He interfered with the astermite?!
**[18:47] ---**
Have I... always looked like this?
**[18:52] ---**
And Vanitas?
**[18:55] ---**
I can't remember what he looks like.
**[18:58] ---**
Go lick each other's wounds elsewhere!
**[19:01] ---**
Just leave me out of it.
**[19:03] ---**
What did I see?
**[19:06] ---**
Now get out of my sight!
**[19:09] ---**
But if you won't budge,
I'll start by finishing her off!
**[19:31] ---**
It's just as Mikhail said.
I know nothing about Vanitas's past.
**[19:40] ---**
Even so...
**[19:44] ---**
I've been watching him...
ever since we met.
**[19:51] ---**
I've seen what kind of person he is.
**[20:04] ---**
Let's end this now, Vanitas.
**[20:10] ---**
I want to go back to the way it was.
**[20:31] ---**
He's adversarial and always
does exactly what he wants.
**[20:35] ---**
Vanitas!
**[20:37] ---**
He doesn't care if he gets hurt
**[20:40] ---**
but can't let others
get hurt because of him.
**[20:43] ---**
Vanitas!
**[20:45] ---**
He pushes everyone away
in an effort to isolate himself.
**[20:49] ---**
That would set you free, at least.
**[20:52] ---**
Now I see.
**[20:54] ---**
What he calls being "free"
actually means being "alone."
**[21:00] ---**
Kill. Kill him.
**[21:03] ---**
Kill that vampire!
**[21:07] ---**
My name is Noé, not "that vampire"!
**[21:26] ---**
This is absurd. It really is.
**[21:30] ---**
Listen to me, Vanitas!
**[21:32] ---**
I will never do the one thing you wish.
**[21:36] ---**
I am never going to set you free!

**[00:35] ---**
Why... can't I kill you?
**[00:39] ---**
Why?!
**[00:43] ---**
Why?
**[00:55] ---**
Damn it.
**[00:57] ---**

Forgive me.

Vanitas! Pull yourself together!

I don't understand.

Why?!
**[01:43] ---**
Why can't you kill him?!
**[01:45] ---**
He tried to suck your blood!
You could've killed him!
**[01:50] ---**
So why didn't you?!
I'm the only one you need!

Who cares if he dies?!

You...

You tried to get me to suck
Vanitas's blood so he would kill me?
**[02:05] ---**
If only Father, my big brother,
and I could be reunited.
**[02:09] ---**
That's all I wanted!
**[02:12] ---**
But you won't do what I asked, Noé.
**[02:16] ---**
So Mademoiselle Domi must die.
**[02:32] ---**
Let me go.
**[02:33] ---**
No.
**[02:34] ---**
But Misha said I have to jump. I must die.
**[02:40] ---**
No.
**[02:41] ---**
Why? You agreed, didn't you?
**[02:46] ---**
Noé would be better off without--
**[02:47] ---**
I already told you no!
**[02:50] ---**
I... I hate myself.
**[02:54] ---**
I'm indecisive and pathetic.
I absolutely hate myself!
**[02:58] ---**
Still, I draw the line at just one thing.
**[03:02] ---**
I will *never* forgive anyone who hurts Noé.
**[03:06] ---**
If killing myself enrages Noé like that,
**[03:11] ---**
I must never allow it to happen.
**[03:15] ---**
B-But, Misha told me I must jump.
**[03:19] ---**
I must do as I'm told.
**[03:25] ---**
You must have realized by now.
**[03:27] ---**
She *is* you, or at least the real you
that you've always tried to ignore.
**[03:31] ---**
--It's no use.
**[03:32] ---**
--I'm sorry.
--It's no use.
**[03:33] ---**
--I'm sorry.
--I promised.
**[03:33] ---**
--Jeanne.
--I promised.
**[03:34] ---**
--Jeanne.
--I hate her.
**[03:35] ---**
--Don't hate Noé.
--I hate her.
**[03:36] ---**
--No.
**[03:37] ---**
--I'm scared.
--No.
**[03:37] ---**
--I'm scared.
--Why?
**[03:38] ---**
--Louis, I'm sorry.
--Why?
**[03:38] ---**
--Louis, I'm sorry.
--I...
**[03:40] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[03:41] ---**
Mikhail used that book to prey on the
most fragile and vulnerable part of you.
**[03:53] ---**
Our true names aren't
defiled in the least.
**[04:01] ---**
Mademoiselle!
**[04:03] ---**
Why won't you listen to me?!
**[04:12] ---**
I'll just have to make do with you.
**[04:15] ---**
Kill everyone here.
**[04:19] ---**
Kill.
**[04:20] ---**
Kill!
**[04:22] ---**
*Kill*!
**[04:30] ---**
Huh?
**[04:32] ---**
What's happening?! No!
**[04:43] ---**
Big brother.
**[04:47] ---**
What the devil?!
**[04:49] ---**
It's as if *The Book of Vanitas*
is devouring Mikhail.
**[04:59] ---**
Noé. Forget about me. Get out of here now!
**[05:04] ---**
Huh?
**[05:05] ---**
Mikhail has sent the book
spiraling out of control.
**[05:08] ---**
He overly interfered with the
astermite in the amusement park.
**[05:11] ---**
No.
**[05:12] ---**
If it all explodes at once...
**[05:15] ---**
I said no!
**[05:26] ---**
Vanitas! Noé!
**[05:44] ---**
Ice?
**[05:50] ---**
Lady Dominique?
**[05:53] ---**
It's all right.
**[05:54] ---**
Look out for me, and I will
do the same for you two.
**[06:06] ---**
Now, let's take up our swords together
to protect that which we love.
**[06:13] ---**
Mademoiselle, kill them
one and all. Kill them.
**[06:20] ---**
Kill them!
**[06:42] ---**
She is so... beautiful.
**[06:58] ---**
Domi. Domi!
**[07:00] ---**
Noé.
**[07:15] ---**
Big brother.
**[07:21] ---**
Help me.
**[07:26] ---**
Big brother.
**[07:31] ---**
Big brother.
**[07:35] ---**
Big brother.
**[07:56] ---**
It hurts.
**[07:58] ---**
It hurts so bad!
**[08:00] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
**[08:04] ---**
It really hurts, big brother!
**[08:17] ---**
Hey!
**[08:18] ---**
Vanitas?! What's wrong?!
**[08:20] ---**
Oh, how marvelous.
**[08:26] ---**
I was worried that I should
have stopped you sooner,
**[08:30] ---**
but I'm glad I didn't.
**[08:33] ---**
That was truly marvelous.
And it's thanks to you I saw it.
**[08:40] ---**
It has been quite some time,
Mes Chatons, my dearest kittens.
**[08:54] ---**
G-Grandfather? What are you doing here?!
**[09:08] ---**
A pleasure to meet you, Hellfire Witch,
**[09:10] ---**
and you, who number
among the Blue Moon Clan.
**[09:15] ---**
Perhaps you've never
seen me in this form before?
**[09:20] ---**
The former Marquis de Sade,
the Shapeless One.
**[09:24] ---**
My darling kittens appear
to be in your debt.
**[09:29] ---**
A kind voice and a gentle smile.
**[09:33] ---**
To think it would feel so
dreadful to not feel dread.
**[09:37] ---**
Teacher.
**[09:40] ---**
Teacher, why are you with Mikhail?
**[09:43] ---**
Monsieur le Comte, it hurts.
**[09:47] ---**
It hurts so bad. Help me.
**[09:52] ---**
Someone kind saved me.
**[09:57] ---**
Teacher, are you that "someone kind"
Mikhail mentioned?
**[10:04] ---**
Did you...?
**[10:06] ---**
Did you tell him there was a way to bring
the Vampire of the Blue Moon back to life?
**[10:15] ---**
That I did.
**[10:18] ---**
Why, you--!
**[10:19] ---**
You said that we may have never
seen you in your present form.
**[10:23] ---**
So then, where have we met before?!
**[10:29] ---**
Does the Comte de
Saint Germain ring a bell?
**[10:32] ---**
It's the name I go by these days.
Make sure you get it right next time.
**[10:40] ---**
The Kingdom of Dreams lies in ruins.
**[10:42] ---**
Whether it's a sweet dream
like a gently rocking cradle
**[10:47] ---**
or a nightmare that gnaws at your soul,
a dream is simply a dream.
**[10:52] ---**
One will always wake to face reality.
**[10:58] ---**
Let us meet again when that time comes,
dearest kitten, Mon Chaton.
**[11:05] ---**
And you as well, human heir to Blue,
the most beautiful being in the world.
**[11:15] ---**
--Wait.
**[11:16] ---**
--Teacher!
--Wait.
**[11:23] ---**
Noé!
**[11:24] ---**
Vanitas!
**[11:26] ---**
*Bonsoir*, little one.
**[12:11] ---**
Good morning, Monsieur Noé.
**[12:16] ---**
Mademoiselle Amelia?
**[12:17] ---**
Yes, it's me.
**[12:20] ---**
What happened?
**[12:21] ---**
Everyone is safe and sound.
**[12:26] ---**
They were quite worried about you, too.
**[12:35] ---**
Forgive me.
**[12:37] ---**
I'm grateful for your help,
Mademoiselle Amelia.
**[12:40] ---**
Now, shall I fetch you some
water and some light fare?
**[12:45] ---**
No, I can manage that myself.
**[12:50] ---**
Lady Dominique and Mademoiselle Jeanne
are having a talk in the dining room.
**[12:56] ---**
Please give them some
privacy until they are done.
**[13:03] ---**
He's up there.
**[13:06] ---**
I'll have food for two prepared for you.
**[13:47] ---**
Um...
**[13:50] ---**
Are you hurt bad?
**[13:55] ---**
I'm sorry. Of course you are.
**[14:03] ---**
Vanitas, won't you come inside?
**[14:08] ---**
But if I'm bothering you,
I'll leave you alone.
**[14:13] ---**
I've been waiting...
**[14:17] ---**
...for him to come.
**[14:24] ---**
--Mik--
**[14:25] ---**
--Noé.
--Mik--
**[14:25] ---**
--Noé.
**[14:28] ---**
You needn't do anything.
Just stay right there.
**[14:46] ---**
Yesterday...
**[14:48] ---**
Yesterday, I wanted to ask
something but couldn't.
**[14:53] ---**
So I wanted to ask you now.
**[15:05] ---**
Is it my fault that Father died?
**[15:10] ---**
I can't remember that day--
the day he died and I lost my arm.
**[15:16] ---**
I-It's all... It's all my--
**[15:20] ---**
No.
**[15:23] ---**
I'm the killer.
**[15:28] ---**
That was the day someone
stole Luna's true name.
**[15:33] ---**
Luna was about to turn
into a deranged monster.
**[15:37] ---**
That's why I joined the Blue Moon Clan
**[15:42] ---**
and killed Luna with their own power.
**[15:48] ---**
That is the truth.
**[15:52] ---**
I cure curse-bearers
**[15:55] ---**
in order to find clues to who
or what stole Luna's true name.
**[16:01] ---**
I'll never forgive the
Vampire of the Blue Moon.
**[16:04] ---**
I will wipe their existence
from the face of the earth.
**[16:09] ---**
I will destroy and bury every last trace.
**[16:15] ---**
That shall be my vengeance.
**[16:24] ---**
That's why I can't go with you.
**[16:29] ---**
H-How can you say that?
**[16:32] ---**
If we bring Father back to life,
it will be just like it was back--
**[16:35] ---**
The dead don't return.
**[16:38] ---**
Even if they did, it would only be
something that resembled them.
**[16:42] ---**
But you know just as well as I do!
**[16:46] ---**
The more we use our books,
**[16:49] ---**
the more we become
something that isn't human.
**[16:52] ---**
They rewrite our very being.
**[16:54] ---**
You saw me yesterday, didn't you?
**[16:57] ---**
It's just like that.
**[16:58] ---**
We'll gradually turn into
something other than ourselves.
**[17:01] ---**
I'm the only one who can understand
that pain when you go through it.
**[17:05] ---**
You said it yourself.
**[17:07] ---**
"Even if it means dying tomorrow,
**[17:10] ---**
I want to continue
being human to the end."
**[17:12] ---**
I'll give you the gift of death
if you become a monster!
**[17:16] ---**
After all, we're the same!
**[17:19] ---**
So... please!
**[17:24] ---**
I don't need you.
**[17:27] ---**
If I can choose how to die...
**[17:33] ---**
If I can make a wish...
**[17:44] ---**
If I'm to be killed, I choose him.
**[18:34] ---**
All right, fine.
**[18:37] ---**
I'll bring back Father by myself.
**[18:41] ---**
What is the Shapeless One,
the Comte de Saint Germain up to?
**[18:46] ---**
Don't know. Don't care.
**[18:49] ---**
I almost forgot. There's *is*
one thing I should tell you.
**[18:54] ---**
Mademoiselle Domi hasn't killed anyone.
**[18:57] ---**
The vampires became unstable when
I used the book to tamper with them,
**[19:00] ---**
but she stopped them from
attacking humans several times.
**[19:06] ---**
Make sure you tell that to the big wigs
so they don't do anything terrible to her.
**[19:11] ---**
Why tell me that?
**[19:14] ---**
Because she was nice to me.
**[19:18] ---**
I like kind people.
**[19:32] ---**
Hey, you're too heavy.
**[19:34] ---**
It's just for a little while.
**[19:36] ---**
Was it a good idea to let Mikhail go?
**[19:39] ---**
You must have a thousand things
you'd like to ask him.
**[19:43] ---**
You're right, but for now...
**[19:47] ---**
I want to talk to you.
**[19:55] ---**
Sorry.
**[19:59] ---**
Huh?
**[20:01] ---**
I was rash in so many ways.
Or maybe the other way around.
**[20:05] ---**
I took too long or didn't do enough.
**[20:10] ---**
I get worried when you act humble.
**[20:13] ---**
Are you picking a fight?
**[20:19] ---**
I give up.
**[20:20] ---**
What?
**[20:21] ---**
I said I've given up trying
to make you do what I want!
**[20:32] ---**
You're still too heavy.
**[20:37] ---**
So what now?
**[20:40] ---**
First, I'll look into the
Comte de Saint Germain.
**[20:43] ---**
Right.
**[20:44] ---**
Besides that, nothing changes.
**[20:48] ---**
I'm a doctor. I'll keep
treating curse-bearers.
**[20:53] ---**
I will do as I please, and that is to
take my vengeance by saving vampires.
**[21:01] ---**
Right. Nothing changes for me, either.
**[21:06] ---**
Hey, quack!
**[21:07] ---**
You're finally up!? What took so long?!
**[21:10] ---**
Do you realize the hell we
went through after yesterday?
**[21:14] ---**
Count Orlok blew a gasket!
**[21:17] ---**
He wants to see you immediately!
**[21:21] ---**
I'm scared.
**[21:22] ---**
What a pain.
**[21:23] ---**
And you owe me an apology
for the beating I took!
**[21:26] ---**
My bad.
**[21:29] ---**
Monsieur Vanitas, Monsieur Noé!
The sun has come out!
**[21:39] ---**
Vanitas.
**[21:41] ---**
Let's go.
**[21:43] ---**
**[21:45] ---**
