[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.
