[00:10] ---
    That's right. We are known as Charlatan.
[00:24] ---
    Y-You...!
[00:28] ---
    You...
[00:32] ---
    ...gate-crashers!
[00:38] ---
    Yes, I knew it.
[00:41] ---
    I really do know you.
[00:46] ---
    I have seen you through
    someone else's eyes.
[00:50] ---
    I am almost certain his name was... Louis.
[01:09] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[01:18] ---
    You're pondering the simple things,
    pretty much: human emotions, and love?

[01:23] ---
    I hope one day you'll understand
[01:27] ---
    Too many wounds have left you
    patched together, a miserable sight

[01:32] ---
    That doesn't even know
    the definition of "alive"

[01:37] ---
    No need to say,
    "Just the two of us" or anything

[01:45] ---
    I've a feeling we can understand
    each other, and that's fine for now

[01:55] ---
    I love this world,
    and the light only you give me

[02:02] ---
    Makes the world I see
    through these fractured eyes

[02:07] ---
    Look gleaming and bright
[02:12] ---
    There's no such thing as a sure thing
[02:16] ---
    But you can see me, can't you?
[02:25] ---
    When sky and void meet, look back
    because the dreams will come later

[02:37] ---
    Let me introduce you, Noé.
[02:40] ---
    These are my darling grandchildren,
    Louis and his little sister, Dominique.
[02:45] ---
    Oh, how wonderful it is that
    you're here while Dominique is visiting.
[02:51] ---
    I must once again be off without delay.
[02:54] ---
    You may ask these two about this place.
[02:56] ---
    It's nice to meet you, Noé.
[02:59] ---
    N-Nice to meet you.
[03:02] ---
    It's nice to meet you, too.
[03:07] ---
    Really, Noé? You were raised by humans?
[03:11] ---
    Yes.
[03:11] ---
    So you've been in the
    human world the whole time?
[03:14] ---
    That's right.
[03:15] ---
    Where are your parents?
[03:18] ---
    I don't know.
[03:20] ---
    My grandma and grandpa said they
    found me crying all alone in the snow.
[03:25] ---
    Really?
[03:27] ---
    What a dummy.
[03:30] ---
    You believed what those humans said?
[03:32] ---
    Louis.
[03:34] ---
    They probably abducted you
[03:36] ---
    and were raising you until
    you were big enough to eat.
[03:39] ---
    No!
[03:41] ---
    Grandma and grandpa aren't bad people!
[03:51] ---
    They're not.
[03:58] ---
    Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
[04:01] ---
    Huh? What's his problem?
[04:07] ---
    Dang it.
[04:15] ---
    Sorry about that.
[04:20] ---
    There, there. There, there.
[04:23] ---
    So after your grandma and grandpa died,
    you were taken by kidnappers?
[04:29] ---
    Mm-hmm. I was taken
    to all sorts of places.
[04:34] ---
    Finally, the Teacher bought me.
[04:37] ---
    Bonsoir, my little one.
[04:41] ---
    Why do you call him, "Teacher?"
[04:43] ---
    When I called him "Master,"
    he told me to use "Teacher" instead.
[04:48] ---
    Noé, it must've been so difficult.
[04:52] ---
    Are you kidding? I get three meals a day,
[04:55] ---
    and he took me here
    to the world of vampires.
[04:58] ---
    It's been so much fun, like a vacation.
[05:06] ---
    You're such a weirdo!
[05:16] ---
    Enough, Louis. It's not that funny.
[05:43] ---
    Louis and Domi were my very first friends.
[05:54] ---
    Are you the ones who live in
    that castle deep in the forest?
[05:58] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[06:00] ---
    I'm Mina!
[06:01] ---
    Fred!
[06:02] ---
    Gilles!
[06:03] ---
    Fanny!
[06:04] ---
    Let's play!
[06:06] ---
    We befriended the village children
[06:09] ---
    and even found a secret hideout.
[06:19] ---
    Each day was incredibly fun.
[06:25] ---
    What? Really?
[06:27] ---
    You can learn things about people
    just by sucking their blood?
[06:31] ---
    Mm-hmm. It's like all these
    visions come gushing in.
[06:36] ---
    Wow, that's amazing! Try it on me!
[06:38] ---
    Really? I can drink your blood?
[06:41] ---
    Hurray!
[06:47] ---
    Huh? I saw lots of myself.
[06:51] ---
    Wow, it really does work.
[06:56] ---
    No, I think I'll pass.
[06:58] ---
    Get him, Noé!
[07:00] ---
    Attack!
[07:06] ---
    Well, Noé? Let's have it!
[07:16] ---
    Noé?
[07:21] ---
    I saw Louis all alone,
    curled up in the darkness.
[07:29] ---
    It made me sad.
[07:33] ---
    If only my power as an Archiviste
    had been greater back then...
[07:38] ---
    If only I could have seen Louis' past...
[07:46] ---
    Domi came to visit each month
    from the far-off manor of the de Sades.
[07:52] ---
    Louis, however, spent his days
    at the Teacher's castle.
[07:56] ---
    Soon after I was born,
    I was diagnosed with a "sickness."
[08:00] ---
    They moved me to Grandfather's castle
    so I could get better.
[08:05] ---
    A sickness? What kind?
[08:08] ---
    I don't know.
[08:10] ---
    Do you miss your mother and father?
[08:12] ---
    Why would I?
[08:14] ---
    I am dead to the House of de Sade.
[08:37] ---
    Louis?
[08:39] ---
    You're still awake?
[08:42] ---
    Um, is it okay if I sleep
    with you tonight?
[08:49] ---
    Louis?
[08:53] ---
    Fine. It's not like I have a choice.
[08:57] ---
    Great. I'll join you.
[08:59] ---
    You were there, too, Noé?
[09:03] ---
    Huh? What is happening?
[09:06] ---
    What, Noé?
[09:08] ---
    You're scared of thunder, too?
[09:12] ---
    He's asleep already?
[09:15] ---
    Brings back memories, huh, Louis?
[09:17] ---
    The three of us always
    used to sleep together.
[09:20] ---
    We're not little children anymore.
[09:24] ---
    I wish I could live here all the time.
[09:29] ---
    Back home, all I do is study
    and attend my lessons.
[09:34] ---
    It's far more fun here,
    playing with everyone in the forest.
[09:38] ---
    I envy you, Louis.
[09:50] ---
    You shouldn't say that.
[09:52] ---
    Once you get older and learn
    about the world, you will understand.
[09:59] ---
    You'll understand how much...
[10:02] ---
    ...how much...
[10:04] ---
    ...everyone loves and cherishes you.
[10:09] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[10:12] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[10:14] ---
    Darte Datin is so wummy.
[10:16] ---
    That's my arm, not Tarte Tatin!
[10:19] ---
    Ow! Let go!
[10:21] ---
    So wummy.
[10:23] ---
    Enough already, you idiot!
[10:27] ---
    Wow, look, Domi!
[10:30] ---
    It's a beautiful blue moon!
[10:32] ---
    Noé, I'm scared.
[10:35] ---
    It's all right. Look.
[10:37] ---
    I could search the world over
    and never find another vampire
[10:40] ---
    who makes such merry at
    the sight of the blue moon.
[10:45] ---
    Grandfather?
[10:50] ---
    What is a curse-bearer?
[10:55] ---
    I found documents about me
    in your collection room.
[11:00] ---
    Whoops, I didn't mean
    to leave those lying around.
[11:06] ---
    Nice try. You did it on purpose
    so that I'd find them.
[11:11] ---
    Hold out your hand.
[11:13] ---
    Is it because I'm one
    of those curse-bearers?
[11:16] ---
    Did my mother and father have Domi
    because they wanted to forget me?
[11:23] ---
    Grandfather, what would you have me do?
[11:29] ---
    No, you're mistaken, my dear Louis.
[11:32] ---
    I do not wish for you to
    do anything in particular.
[11:37] ---
    You are free.
[11:39] ---
    You need only do as you please.
[11:42] ---
    As for me,
[11:44] ---
    I simply wish to observe your free will
    in action and see its results.
[11:56] ---
    What's with him?
[11:58] ---
    That really is in poor taste.
[12:05] ---
    Hey, Louis.
[12:07] ---
    What are you making?
[12:08] ---
    It's a secret.
[12:17] ---
    Come on, Louis. What are you making?
[12:20] ---
    I told you it's a secret!
[12:25] ---
    After all, it's my gift to you.
[12:29] ---
    I can hardly wait.
[12:31] ---
    Well, try.
[12:32] ---
    I can hardly wait. I can hardly wait.
[12:37] ---
    Looking back, I think it
    was around that time
[12:40] ---
    that Louis began to act strange.
[12:50] ---
    Huh? You're making another one now?
[12:52] ---
    Yes, I messed up the last one.
[13:06] ---
    Louis, is there something I can do?
[13:09] ---
    What can I do to help you?!
[13:17] ---
    Noé...
[13:20] ---
    I... am...
[13:23] ---
    Louis! Noé!
[13:26] ---
    Domi, is something--
[13:27] ---
    Noé, I just heard the maids talking.
[13:32] ---
    And?
[13:33] ---
    M-Mina is...
[13:34] ---
    Mina is to be executed
    tomorrow? Is that it?
[13:42] ---
    Mina is to be executed tomorrow?
[13:46] ---
    But why?
[13:48] ---
    Why? Because she is a curse-bearer.
[13:52] ---
    A curse-bearer?
[13:58] ---
    They are beheaded by a bourreau.
    That's the custom.
[14:01] ---
    You knew about Mina?
[14:08] ---
    We have to go save her!
[14:10] ---
    What? Don't be stupid.
[14:12] ---
    Save her?
[14:13] ---
    How?
[14:14] ---
    Can you lift the blue moon's curse?
[14:17] ---
    Of course you can't.
[14:19] ---
    No one can save her, Noé!
[14:22] ---
    How can you say that?!
[14:25] ---
    I merely speak the truth.
[14:27] ---
    We won't know unless we try!
[14:32] ---
    Go ahead! Try to save her
    right here, right now!
[14:37] ---
    Louis.
[14:38] ---
    Listen here, Noé.
[14:40] ---
    There is nothing you can do.
[14:44] ---
    There is absolutely nothing you can do.
[14:48] ---
    Louis, you fool!
[14:51] ---
    Noé!
[14:57] ---
    Noé, I want to save Mina, too.
[15:02] ---
    Might we not help her flee the village?
[15:23] ---
    Mina? What's the matter?
[15:31] ---
    Mina?
[15:33] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:43] ---
    Mina? Fred?
[16:06] ---
    Domi, Noé...
[16:09] ---
    I'm so glad you're unharmed.
[16:13] ---
    Huh? Louis?
[16:31] ---
    Louis!
[16:40] ---
    Gilles... Fanny...
[16:42] ---
    Blood. I want blood.
[16:45] ---
    Blood! Give me blood!
[16:53] ---
    Domi, run.
[16:56] ---
    Noé?
[16:59] ---
    Blood!
[17:00] ---
    Run, Domi!
[17:05] ---
    Louis, snap out of it!
[17:07] ---
    What's the matter?
[17:09] ---
    Are you angry with me?
[17:11] ---
    Because I didn't listen to you?
[17:13] ---
    Louis! Louis, listen!
[17:16] ---
    It was all my fault!
[17:18] ---
    Please! I want the old Louis back!
[17:35] ---
    Kill me. I want you to kill me... Noé.
[17:41] ---
    What?
[17:43] ---
    I'm begging you, Noé.
[17:47] ---
    I can never return to what I once was.
[17:51] ---
    It won't be long before
    a bourreau beheads me.
[17:59] ---
    If I'm doomed to die, Noé...
[18:03] ---
    If I'm doomed to die, I want you to...
[18:06] ---
    ...kill me!
[18:14] ---
    I can't... Louis.
[18:18] ---
    I could never do that.
[18:29] ---
    Louis.
[18:31] ---
    Louis?
[18:33] ---
    Louis!
[18:35] ---
    You're so smart,
    and you can sometimes be mean.
[18:39] ---
    You're also kind.
[18:41] ---
    And we were always together.
[18:44] ---
    You are my cherished friend.
[18:58] ---
    That was a close one.
[19:02] ---
    I was right to hurry back.
[19:09] ---
    Are you all right, Noé?
[19:33] ---
    Yes... Teacher.
[19:51] ---
    Louis said he wanted you
    to have this when the time came.
[19:56] ---
    He told me to keep it till then.
[20:11] ---
    Wooden stakes?
[20:14] ---
    It's a secret!
[20:15] ---
    After all, it's my gift to you.
[20:25] ---
    Louis, what did you feel inside
    while you were making these?
[20:30] ---
    Kill me, Noé.
[20:32] ---
    Take that stake and drive it
    through my heart!
[20:41] ---
    Noé!
[20:46] ---
    Forgive me, Louis.
[20:48] ---
    I could not save you.
[20:51] ---
    I could not even kill you
    as you had wished.
[20:57] ---
    Forgive me.
[21:00] ---
    Forgive me.
[21:03] ---
    Forgive me.
[21:07] ---
    Poor thing.
[21:09] ---
    You were unable to save
    your beloved friend.
[21:13] ---
    How very sad.
[21:14] ---
    Is it too much to bear?
[21:18] ---
    Shall I take you to Louis?
    Would you like that?
[21:23] ---
    Then you would no longer feel all alone.
[21:26] ---
    Just one thing.
[21:28] ---
    In exchange...
[21:32] ---
    ...I want you to give me your true name.
[21:37] ---
    I...
[21:40] ---
    There is absolutely nothing you can do.
[21:47] ---
    Non!
[21:56] ---
    What are you doing, Noé?
[21:59] ---
    Did you twist your ankle dancing?
