**[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.
