[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.
