[00:11] ---
    Hello.
[00:12] ---
    What's your name?
[00:15] ---
    I'm Mikhail, but you can call me Misha!
[00:19] ---
    Your name isn't Mikhail anymore.
[00:23] ---
    It's Number 71!
[00:26] ---
    We're nothing more
    than Moreau's guinea pigs!
[00:43] ---
    Ow!
[02:11] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[02:19] ---
    --No!
[02:20] ---
    --Doctor. The test subject is too young.
    --No!
[02:23] ---
    He won't survive much more.
[02:25] ---
    Well, we can bring in
    the next child in that case.
[02:30] ---
    I'm so close to creating what I want.
[02:35] ---
    Humans that can serve as a link!
[02:42] ---
    Help me, big brother!
[02:45] ---
    Help!
[02:47] ---
    Big brother!
[02:53] ---
    Doctor!
[02:56] ---
    I will do it.
[03:00] ---
    Use me instead of that little brat!
[03:05] ---
    Doctor, let me help you
    achieve your noble purpose!
[03:14] ---
    How marvelous!
[03:17] ---
    Has there ever been
    a single child like you
[03:20] ---
    who's willingly cooperated
    in my experiments?!
[03:23] ---
    No, there hasn't!
[03:24] ---
    But of course, Number 69!
    What a marvelous idea!
[03:28] ---
    Together we shall draw one step closer
[03:31] ---
    to the great wisdom of
    the vampires and the world!
[03:40] ---
    Thank you, big brother.
[03:44] ---
    I was wondering if I could
    sleep with you tonight.
[03:55] ---
    You're so warm.
[04:01] ---
    Ta-da!
[04:04] ---
    My experiment has entered its final phase!
[04:09] ---
    I'll use this to link you two
    to The Books of Vanitas.
[04:14] ---
    The Books of Vanitas?
[04:16] ---
    Yes, that's an excellent
    question, Number 69!
[04:19] ---
    These books were created by
    the Vampire of the Blue Moon!
[04:24] ---
    But they're even more legendary
    than that legendary vampire!
[04:28] ---
    They're powered by
    a special form of astermite.
[04:30] ---
    They pack sorcery, alchemy, and many other
    technologies into miniature machines.
[04:35] ---
    They're analytical engines in book form!
[04:39] ---
    Supposedly, one can use these books
[04:43] ---
    to easily alter the World Formula!
[04:45] ---
    Supposedly?
[04:50] ---
    That's right! They won't open,
    no matter how I try!
[04:53] ---
    From what I've heard, only members
    of the Blue Moon Clan can do that!
[04:59] ---
    Isn't that awful?!
[05:01] ---
    Isn't it so unfair!
[05:07] ---
    And so...
[05:10] ---
    I decided to transform you two into
    quasi members of the Blue Moon Clan!
[05:18] ---
    What?
[05:19] ---
    I wish to make human switches,
[05:21] ---
    their only purpose being
    to open the books!
[05:24] ---
    You know that blue fluid
    I often inject you with?
[05:28] ---
    Do you know what it is?
[05:30] ---
    Tick.
[05:31] ---
    Tick.
[05:32] ---
    Tick.
[05:33] ---
    Sorry, time's up! You lose!
[05:37] ---
    Prepare to be amazed!
[05:39] ---
    It's none other than
[05:41] ---
    the Vampire of the Blue Moon's blood!
[05:46] ---
    Oh, dear, what's wrong?
[05:48] ---
    You're so startled,
    you've been rendered speechless?!
[05:51] ---
    I know how you feel!
[05:54] ---
    Big brother?
[05:55] ---
    To prevent a fatal rejection response,
[05:57] ---
    I injected you ever so gradually
    with the vampire's blood
[06:01] ---
    along with special medicine.
[06:07] ---
    Big brother!
[06:09] ---
    Didn't you notice your wounds
    have been healing faster than before?
[06:14] ---
    You've been elevated one step
    beyond human bounds!
[06:18] ---
    You are now a very special kind of being!
[06:21] ---
    I am going to kill you.
[06:23] ---
    I have the two Books of Vanitas
    and the two of you!
[06:28] ---
    Perfect, don't you think?
[06:37] ---
    No!
[06:38] ---
    That hurts!
[06:39] ---
    Stop it!
[06:41] ---
    I'm going to kill you!
[06:42] ---
    I swear I'll murder every last one of you!
[06:46] ---
    How dare you do this to me?!
[06:51] ---
    Oh, right, I forgot to mention one thing.
[06:54] ---
    Once I activate this machine,
[06:56] ---
    the shock of linking to the books
    may turn you both into vegetables.
[07:00] ---
    So let me express my
    gratitude while I can.
[07:03] ---
    Thank you, Numbers 69 and 71.
[07:07] ---
    I will never forget you!
[07:25] ---
    What's happening?!
[07:31] ---
    What the blazes?!
[07:54] ---
    Big brother!
[08:01] ---
    Dear me.
[08:03] ---
    Some humans come up
    with the most ludicrous ideas.
[08:12] ---
    Now then, I think I've done
    quite enough damage.
[08:17] ---
    I must go before the Chasseurs arrive.
[08:22] ---
    No, don't go!
[08:24] ---
    Take us with you!
[08:30] ---
    Take us, too.
[08:41] ---
    Oh, my.
[08:46] ---
    Well, this wouldn't have
    happened if not for me.
[08:54] ---
    How could he be so cruel?
[08:57] ---
    They are but children.
[09:00] ---
    Mikhail.
[09:02] ---
    Well, what will you do?
[09:09] ---
    Will you, too...
[09:12] ---
    ...come with me?
[09:20] ---
    Big brother.
[09:48] ---
    We've gone far enough.
    We should be safe for now.
[09:52] ---
    We're still not that far from town.
[09:56] ---
    The Chasseurs will be here before you--
[09:58] ---
    No, they won't.
[10:01] ---
    That researcher... Moreau, was it?
[10:05] ---
    He was engaged in acts
    banned by Church teachings.
[10:11] ---
    When the Chasseur's come running
    and find what he's done,
[10:14] ---
    they will scramble to control
    the damage rather than pursue us.
[10:19] ---
    And most of the researchers that
    were there have likely been slain.
[10:26] ---
    Now that we're safe and sound,
    I'd like for us to introduce ourselves.
[10:31] ---
    --My name is Mikhail!
    But you can call me Misha!
[10:34] ---
    --Wait, Mikhail!
    --My name is Mikhail!
    But you can call me Misha!
[10:36] ---
    Misha?
[10:37] ---
    Yes?!
[10:39] ---
    I regret to say I have no name
    with which to introduce myself.
[10:44] ---
    Or perhaps it would be best to say
[10:46] ---
    I have yet no name
    with which I'm satisfied.
[11:02] ---
    I am the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
[11:10] ---
    There are some who call me Vanitas.
[11:16] ---
    You're beautiful.
[11:20] ---
    The Vampire... of the Blue Moon?
[11:29] ---
    Big brother?!
[11:30] ---
    You went straight for my eyes.
[11:33] ---
    I take it you were among the
    children the Chasseurs were training.
[11:37] ---
    Have you taken us away to devour us?!
[11:42] ---
    Blue blood?
[11:46] ---
    You're mistaken.
[11:47] ---
    Then what?!
[11:48] ---
    Have you come to reclaim your
    blood that they injected into us?
[11:54] ---
    I took you
[11:56] ---
    because you asked for my help.
[12:03] ---
    N-No. I never...
[12:08] ---
    ...asked...
[12:11] ---
    Big brother!
[12:12] ---
    Dear me.
[12:27] ---
    My big brother's awake!
[12:36] ---
    You need not worry.
[12:39] ---
    This is the home of a human with
    whom I've been long acquainted.
[12:42] ---
    Don't be absurd.
[12:45] ---
    Why would a vampire be
    acquainted with a human?
[12:50] ---
    It's not unheard of.
[12:52] ---
    Those who come from a long line
    of alchemists or sorcerers
[12:55] ---
    have always had an affinity for
    vampires rather than the Church.
[13:01] ---
    Your exhaustion took a toll
    once you let your guard down.
[13:04] ---
    Were you not always braced to
    defend Misha at a moment's notice?
[13:09] ---
    But now, all you need do is rest.
[13:16] ---
    I will sing you a lullaby
    so you may better sleep.
[13:20] ---
    I want to sing, too.
[13:23] ---
    Very well.
[13:25] ---
    What sorts of songs did
    your mother sing to you?
[13:30] ---
    What?
[13:31] ---
    Hm? Oh...
[13:34] ---
    You called out "Mother"
    many times in your delirium.
[13:40] ---
    That's a lie.
[13:42] ---
    No, it's not.
[13:44] ---
    Yes, it is.
[13:46] ---
    There's no way I said that. After all...
[13:50] ---
    My mother died when I was born.
[13:54] ---
    I would never call for her.
    I would never...
[14:09] ---
    Big brother...
[14:26] ---
    So then...
[14:28] ---
    ...you lived alone with your father?
[14:34] ---
    It wasn't just the two of us.
[14:37] ---
    There were others.
[14:40] ---
    Others?
[14:41] ---
    My father was born to a good family,
    and he became a doctor.
[14:46] ---
    But he abandoned them
    after meeting my mother,
[14:49] ---
    who was part of a traveling
    show that came to town.
[14:53] ---
    A bold move.
[14:55] ---
    What's a traveling show?
[14:57] ---
    It's like a circus.
[15:00] ---
    It wasn't as respectable as that.
[15:03] ---
    I got the feeling my father
    didn't care for them too much.
[15:08] ---
    We went to all sorts
    of places with the show.
[15:12] ---
    You don't say?
[15:14] ---
    They told me I looked
    a lot like my mother.
[15:18] ---
    I see. Then she was a beauty.
[15:21] ---
    I think so, too!
[15:23] ---
    But she died because of me.
[15:28] ---
    My father should have
    hated me for that, but...
[15:37] ---
    When the vampires attacked,
[15:39] ---
    Father died protecting me!
[15:43] ---
    Why?
[15:44] ---
    I want to ask him that, but I can't.
[15:47] ---
    I'll never know the answer.
[15:55] ---
    Do you hate vampires?
[15:57] ---
    Of course I do!
[15:59] ---
    I want to wipe them
    from the face of the earth!
[16:01] ---
    I want to make this world clean again!
[16:04] ---
    That's why I vowed to
    live my life as a Chasseur!
[16:08] ---
    I...
[16:11] ---
    They often experimented on vampires
    they brought to Moreau's lab.
[16:18] ---
    At first, I felt they were
    getting their just deserts.
[16:21] ---
    But gradually,
[16:23] ---
    I came to realize humans are
    the most terrifying monsters of all.
[16:32] ---
    Would it have not been easy for one
    like you to escape from such a place?
[16:39] ---
    So why did you stay?
[16:42] ---
    Moreau led the Chasseurs to
    believe that I had died in battle.
[16:48] ---
    He killed a stranger and
    passed his body off as mine.
[16:52] ---
    And he told me he would simply
    obtain another child if I left.
[16:58] ---
    So I felt I had no choice
    but to remain there.
[17:09] ---
    I didn't want to think about any of it.
[17:12] ---
    I didn't understand.
[17:14] ---
    And I still don't.
[17:17] ---
    What am I to do now?
[17:22] ---
    I have learned something.
[17:26] ---
    You are a truly kind child.
[17:37] ---
    No, I'm not.
[17:38] ---
    Yes, you are.
[17:41] ---
    No, I'm not at all like that. I'm...
[17:58] ---
    Big brother?
[18:00] ---
    Forget what I said!
[18:02] ---
    Forget every last word I said yesterday.
    Wipe it clean from your brain!
[18:08] ---
    Yesterday? From when to when?
[18:12] ---
    From the moment we left the lab?
[18:14] ---
    Or from the time you feverishly yelled,
    "No, no, no!" while you cried?
[18:19] ---
    Just forget it, already!
[18:21] ---
    Oh, you're awake? Good timing.
[18:24] ---
    I just finished making breakfast.
[18:26] ---
    Breakfast? I'm starving!
[18:32] ---
    Now, eat up! You need all
    the nutrients you can get.
[18:41] ---
    You really are trying
    to kill us, aren't you?
[18:44] ---
    Why would you say that?
[18:46] ---
    What is this sludge-like toxic waste?!
[18:49] ---
    It's called soup.
[18:51] ---
    I added lots of medicinal herbs
    so it would be good for you.
[18:54] ---
    And I just freshly drew this milk.
[18:58] ---
    Why is it all black and disgusting?!
[19:01] ---
    And this room is filthy!
    It's full of spider webs and rats!
[19:04] ---
    I didn't notice yesterday.
[19:06] ---
    But if you're staying in someone's home,
    keep it clean! Unbelievable!
[19:13] ---
    Fine. Do everything yourself.
[19:15] ---
    Stop sulking, you big baby!
[19:25] ---
    How's that?!
[19:28] ---
    Yummy!
[19:30] ---
    Oh my, I am utterly defeated.
[19:33] ---
    You're a most magnificent child.
[19:38] ---
    More, please!
[19:43] ---
    There is no point hiding it.
[19:47] ---
    You both will likely die before too long.
[19:52] ---
    It may be in a month, six months,
[19:55] ---
    or even five years from now. Who can say?
[19:59] ---
    But that day will come.
[20:04] ---
    Moreau's experiments have forced
    your bodies beyond what is human.
[20:08] ---
    You are now getting closer
    to the race of vampires.
[20:13] ---
    But your bodies waver
    precariously on a razor's edge.
[20:17] ---
    At any moment, the balance may tip,
    and your current state
[20:22] ---
    will be in unbearable conflict
    with the natural order.
[20:26] ---
    It is then that your bodies
    will begin to break down.
[20:32] ---
    Come with me if you
    have nowhere else to turn.
[20:37] ---
    Together we shall seek a way to save you.
[20:49] ---
    Father, am I going to die?
[20:53] ---
    There is one way to save you
    that I have yet to mention.
[20:59] ---
    I could make you members of my clan.
[21:04] ---
    But that...
[21:06] ---
    It's not something I wanted to resort to.
[21:12] ---
    I want to join your clan, Father.
[21:16] ---
    After all, it means the three of us
    can be together forever, doesn't it?
[21:22] ---
    I don't ever want to be
    a member of your clan,
[21:26] ---
    even if it meant dying tomorrow.
[21:29] ---
    I want to continue being
    human until the end.
[21:45] ---
    You finally made it,
[21:47] ---
    big brother!
[21:57] ---
    What have you done to him?
[21:59] ---
    
[22:01] ---
    
[22:02] ---
    "Blue Night"
[23:37] ---
    "Tears like Rain"
