[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.
