[00:07] ---
    I am so callow.
[00:11] ---
    There is so much I do not know.
[00:16] ---
    For instance...
[00:21] ---
    Vanitas, I wanted to ask you something.
[00:26] ---
    Well, out with it.
[00:29] ---
    What in the devil is love?
[00:38] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[00:47] ---
    You're pondering the simple things,
    pretty much: human emotions, and love?
[00:52] ---
    I hope one day you'll understand
[00:56] ---
    Too many wounds have left you
    patched together, a miserable sight
[01:01] ---
    That doesn't even know
    the definition of "alive"
[01:06] ---
    No need to say,
    "Just the two of us" or anything
[01:14] ---
    I've a feeling we can understand
    each other, and that's fine for now
[01:24] ---
    I love this world,
    and the light only you give me
[01:31] ---
    Makes the world I see
    through these fractured eyes
[01:36] ---
    Look gleaming and bright
[01:41] ---
    There's no such thing as a sure thing
[01:45] ---
    But you can see me, can't you?
[01:54] ---
    When sky and void meet, look back
    because the dreams will come later
[02:04] ---
    T-Tarte Tatin!
[02:10] ---
    I didn't think he'd get this excited.
[02:13] ---
    Noé has always been
    a sucker for Tarte Tatin.
[02:17] ---
    Thank you for letting me know, Dominique.
[02:21] ---
    It's an honor to be of service.
[02:23] ---
    Tarte Tatin!
[02:28] ---
    Um, may I dig in?
[02:30] ---
    Of course.
[02:34] ---
    It's so good!
[02:43] ---
    My teacher often brought Tarte Tatin home
    as a gift from trips to the human world.
[02:49] ---
    But I never imagined
    I'd have it in Altus Paris!
[02:53] ---
    They say a vampire who
    fancied it as much as you
[02:57] ---
    brought the recipe back
    from the human world.
[03:00] ---
    Don't tell me that said
    vampire was my lord uncle.
[03:09] ---
    Thank you for taking me to such
    a magnificent restaurant, Luca.
[03:14] ---
    No need to thank me.
    You came all this way to visit.
[03:18] ---
    Apologies for my uncle's absence.
[03:20] ---
    It's quite all right. I'm glad we'll have
    plenty of time for a meeting tomorrow.
[03:26] ---
    I have lots of questions about
    what went on after the ball.
[03:32] ---
    Noé.
[03:34] ---
    I'm really grateful for last night.
[03:37] ---
    Thanks to you, my life and the lives
    of many other vampires were saved.
[03:48] ---
    No, I didn't do anything.
[03:52] ---
    Too sweet!
[03:55] ---
    I must thank you as well, Noé.
[03:59] ---
    You protected Master Luca in my absence.
[04:03] ---
    I am truly grateful.
[04:08] ---
    Actually...
[04:13] ---
    You have it all wrong.
[04:14] ---
    It was not I who ended the turmoil.
    It was Vanitas's power.
[04:23] ---
    Of course, I'm aware of that.
[04:25] ---
    No curse-bearers had to be beheaded,
    and that is without a doubt thanks to him.
[04:33] ---
    However, Vanitas!
[04:35] ---
    Before I convey my gratitude, I want
    you to apologize for the other day!
[04:40] ---
    Apologize? Whatever for?
[04:42] ---
    The day we first met...
    you know... with Jeanne!
[04:46] ---
    Umm...
[04:48] ---
    You forced yourself on her!
[04:50] ---
    Oh, you mean the kiss?
[04:55] ---
    Th-That's right.
[04:57] ---
    You can start by apologizing for that.
[05:00] ---
    My bad.
[05:01] ---
    No, not like that!
[05:03] ---
    You're a real pain in the keister.
[05:06] ---
    To whom am I apologizing, anyway?
[05:09] ---
    To Jeanne or to you?
[05:12] ---
    T-To Jeanne, of course.
[05:15] ---
    I see. In that case,
    there is no need to apologize.
[05:20] ---
    Jeanne and I are in love with each other.
[05:23] ---
    Keep your fantasies to yourself.
[05:27] ---
    I'm not fantasizing.
[05:30] ---
    See? Feast your eyes.
[05:33] ---
    Jeanne and I already share
    that sort of relationship.
[05:41] ---
    He's marked!
[05:42] ---
    Th-That's Jeanne's?
[05:44] ---
    That's right. It is the mark
    left when vampires imbue
[05:47] ---
    the victims of their bloodlust
    with some of their power.
[05:52] ---
    He lies! I don't remember
    doing any such thing!
[05:55] ---
    Now, now, you must at least
    recognize your own mark.
[05:59] ---
    Then again, you were quite rough.
[06:03] ---
    It's no surprise your memory is spotty.
[06:07] ---
    It was like you were in a trance
    the way you greedily fed.
[06:13] ---
    Was my blood really so delicious?
[06:16] ---
    So much so that you left
    this mark upon me?
[06:21] ---
    Jeanne, did you really suck his blood?
[06:25] ---
    Master Luca!
[06:26] ---
    Is this the sort of man you like?!
[06:29] ---
    Huh? Where did that come from?
[06:31] ---
    It's true, isn't it?!
[06:33] ---
    How could you leave your mark on
    a member of the Blue Moon Clan?!
[06:38] ---
    It's as if you're claiming
    him as your own!
[06:41] ---
    Th-That's...!
[06:44] ---
    That's...
[06:50] ---
    Sorry! Sorry! It seems
    I took the jest too far.
[06:53] ---
    What?
[06:55] ---
    Luca, this certainly is Jeanne's mark,
    but she did not wish to leave it.
[07:03] ---
    Are you saying you forced her?
[07:06] ---
    Listen. Calm down. You're scaring me.
[07:09] ---
    She wasn't in her right mind at the time.
[07:12] ---
    You all heard them.
[07:15] ---
    The curse bearer's voices.
[07:21] ---
    Like the other vampires,
[07:23] ---
    it was a momentary lapse
    of control that made her attack me.
[07:28] ---
    Is that true, Jeanne?
[07:32] ---
    Yes, Master Luca.
[07:34] ---
    Forgive me for not reporting
    the matter to you.
[07:39] ---
    I see! So that's what happened!
[07:42] ---
    What a relief!
[07:43] ---
    That explains it.
[07:44] ---
    Unless you had lost control,
[07:46] ---
    you would never leave your mark on a
    terribly rude, selfish man such as him!
[07:52] ---
    Why, Luca, I'm getting a distinct
    feeling you don't like me.
[07:58] ---
    I am so glad you're all right, Jeanne.
[08:06] ---
    Forgive me, Master Luca!
    I'll bring him back when I'm done!
[08:10] ---
    Jeanne?!
[08:31] ---
    Noé?
[08:32] ---
    I'll go after them!
[08:36] ---
    Noé?!
[08:37] ---
    Why is everyone leaving
    through the window?
[08:45] ---
    Why did you tell such a lie?
[08:47] ---
    What? Should I have told the truth?
[08:51] ---
    From what I could tell, it didn't
    seem like you wanted Luca to know
[08:56] ---
    you were stricken with
    the urge to suck blood.
[08:59] ---
    So I made something up.
[09:05] ---
    I've asked you before, Jeanne.
[09:07] ---
    Are you a curse-bearer?
[09:12] ---
    You've no intention of saying, eh?
[09:16] ---
    It doesn't always happen like that.
[09:21] ---
    I can suppress my thirst for blood
    as long as I take my medicine.
[09:25] ---
    But its effect wore off quickly that day.
[09:30] ---
    I never heard of such a medicine.
    How interesting.
[09:36] ---
    Listen, human.
[09:38] ---
    Do not speak a word of this to anyone.
[09:41] ---
    I beg you.
[09:43] ---
    Please. Do not speak of this!
[09:56] ---
    Have no fear, Jeanne.
[09:58] ---
    I'm not the kind of man who spills
    the secrets of the woman I love.
[10:05] ---
    But I have two conditions.
[10:09] ---
    Conditions?
[10:10] ---
    That's right.
[10:12] ---
    I won't tell anyone your secret.
[10:15] ---
    In exchange...
[10:21] ---
    You must not suck the
    blood of anyone but me.
[10:24] ---
    What?!
[10:31] ---
    M-Must you set such a condition?!
[10:34] ---
    It's really quite simple.
[10:37] ---
    Having you suck my blood
    felt truly divine.
[10:42] ---
    Wait! What? What?!
[10:44] ---
    Having my blood sucked never
    rocked me to the core till that day.
[10:49] ---
    It was truly incredible.
[10:51] ---
    The pleasurable effect
    of vampire bites results
[10:54] ---
    from the aphrodisiac-like
    substance injected by their fangs.
[10:57] ---
    But its efficacy may differ
    by the vampire's power
[11:00] ---
    and compatibility with the victim.
[11:02] ---
    Vampires inject this
    substance to keep them still
[11:05] ---
    while sucking their blood.
[11:08] ---
    Some vampire bites cause sleep, paralysis,
    or other non-pleasurable effects.
[11:12] ---
    But much of that is
    still a mystery, and I--
[11:14] ---
    Too much information!
[11:16] ---
    What I'm saying is we have
    superb physical chemistry.
[11:21] ---
    You no good...! Stop saying things
    that can be taken out of context!
[11:28] ---
    This is marvelous! Being with you
    sets my heart aflutter!
[11:36] ---
    If you ever thirst for blood,
    just say the word.
[11:39] ---
    I'll give you all you want.
[11:45] ---
    No. I mustn't think about it.
[11:54] ---
    His blood tasted so very sweet.
[12:00] ---
    You said...
[12:02] ---
    Hm?
[12:03] ---
    You said there were two conditions.
    What is the second one?
[12:07] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[12:11] ---
    From now on, I want you to say my
    name rather than calling me "human."
[12:23] ---
    Vanitas.
[13:03] ---
    Noé?
[13:05] ---
    They're back.
[13:07] ---
    Yes, I saw them.
[13:18] ---
    What's the matter, Mon Chéri?
[13:20] ---
    You look as if you'll cry.
[13:24] ---
    Domi, I...
[13:27] ---
    Since hearing that Jeanne
    sucked Vanitas's blood,
[13:30] ---
    I've had an agonizing feeling in my chest.
[13:38] ---
    I thought about why that is.
[13:43] ---
    And this is what I found.
[13:48] ---
    I was...
[13:53] ---
    I was vexed that Jeanne got to him first!
[13:57] ---
    What?
[13:58] ---
    I always thought Vanitas's
    blood smelled really good.
[14:03] ---
    Had I known this would happen,
    I'd have had him give me a taste!
[14:07] ---
    It's such fine blood, Jeanne
    marked him to have it all to herself!
[14:12] ---
    Can you imagine how
    scrumptious it must be?!
[14:18] ---
    Seriously? You really are a handful.
[14:21] ---
    Domi?!
[14:25] ---
    D-Domi! What are you...?
[14:26] ---
    Hush!
[14:27] ---
    Men like you should be
    gnawed on by women like me!
[14:30] ---
    Stop. That tickles my ear!
[14:38] ---
    You've no idea how I feel.
[15:16] ---
    I already knew.
[15:18] ---
    Your blood is delectable.
[15:31] ---
    Noé, you are such a fool.
[15:34] ---
    Huh?
[15:48] ---
    This place really livens up after sundown.
[16:03] ---
    --Shall we--
    --Jeanne!
[16:05] ---
    Let's dance!
[16:06] ---
    Huh?
[16:09] ---
    Nothing wrong with
    tormenting him a little.
[16:12] ---
    Um, Mademoiselle Dominique?
[16:14] ---
    Hm?
[16:15] ---
    You must know of me.
[16:18] ---
    Should you be seen
    dancing with a bourreau,
[16:22] ---
    it shall do harm to your good name.
[16:26] ---
    Good grief, a goody-two-shoes.
[16:28] ---
    What?
[16:31] ---
    "Acts of pleasure come first and foremost
    before all of one's other passions."
[16:37] ---
    My father's words.
[16:41] ---
    So I enjoy beautiful flowers
    blooming before my eyes.
[16:45] ---
    I'm not one to put off such pleasure
[16:48] ---
    for some future passion of mine.
[17:06] ---
    You don't want to dance with Jeanne?
[17:09] ---
    I'm not a very good dancer.
[17:12] ---
    It would be a pity if
    I ended up stepping on her foot.
[17:18] ---
    Then shall I teach you?
[17:26] ---
    All right.
[17:28] ---
    I accept.
[17:33] ---
    Master Luca.
[17:35] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:39] ---
    She's so lucky.
[17:42] ---
    I can't wait to grow up.
[17:48] ---
    Huh? So you can dance.
[17:51] ---
    I never said I couldn't.
[17:58] ---
    Vanitas, I wanted to ask you something.
[18:03] ---
    Well, out with it.
[18:08] ---
    What in the devil is love?
[18:14] ---
    That ham-fisted invitation to
    dance was due to a question?!
[18:16] ---
    I knew you had something on your mind!
[18:20] ---
    That's your question?
[18:27] ---
    I have no idea.
[18:31] ---
    But when I see Jeanne,
[18:33] ---
    my heart quickens,
    and I can't stop trembling.
[18:42] ---
    For me, at least, I've defined
    that feeling as love.
[18:47] ---
    It's more interesting that way.
[18:50] ---
    A racing heart and a trembling body...
[18:54] ---
    It sounds like a nasty cold.
[18:57] ---
    You're right. It is like catching a cold.
[19:17] ---
    Vanitas, what is it you like about Jeanne?
[19:23] ---
    She's strong and beautiful.
[19:26] ---
    She's awkward and delicate.
[19:29] ---
    She has an ample bosom
    and is a joy to tease.
[19:33] ---
    And what else? Let's see...
[19:37] ---
    It doesn't seem like she'll ever love me.
[19:43] ---
    I don't understand.
[19:45] ---
    When you love someone,
    don't you want them to love you back?
[19:51] ---
    That is not what I seek.
[19:54] ---
    Jeanne need not love me,
    even though I love her.
[20:03] ---
    I have zero interest in the sort
    of person who would love me.
[20:12] ---
    There is still much I do not understand.
[20:21] ---
    Why?
[20:23] ---
    Why has my heart been sent aflutter?
[20:28] ---
    My ignorance abounds.
[20:32] ---
    Oh, forgive me.
[20:33] ---
    You can do better than, "Oh, forgive me"!
[20:36] ---
    It wasn't on purpose.
[20:39] ---
    At any rate,
[20:41] ---
    you're visiting Lord Ruthven
    though you know nothing about him.
[20:44] ---
    You truly are...
[20:46] ---
    I know he is a member of the Senate.
[20:49] ---
    He's far more than that!
[20:51] ---
    Lord Ruthven is a moderate who helped end
    the war between vampires and humans.
[20:56] ---
    He's a peacemaker.
[20:58] ---
    To this day, there are many
    who praise him as a hero.
[21:02] ---
    How marvelous.
[21:04] ---
    So then you know nothing
    about Master Lucius, either?
[21:08] ---
    --Huh?
[21:09] ---
    --Never mind.
    --Huh?
[21:10] ---
    He'll wish to tell you himself, no doubt.
[21:15] ---
    Perhaps I should go, too.
[21:17] ---
    No, Domi. You received an urgent
    summons from the House of de Sade.
[21:23] ---
    I had good intentions
    when I brought you to Altus,
[21:28] ---
    but I ended up dragging
    you into a big mess.
[21:31] ---
    Why are you apologizing?
[21:36] ---
    Domi, you always show your concern for me.
[21:40] ---
    It makes me happy to know that.
[21:46] ---
    All right.
[21:48] ---
    May we meet again, Mon Chéri.
[22:08] ---
    "Love"
