[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] ---
