[00:01] Narrator
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narrator
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:14] Narrator
    His own mother distanced herself from
    him, his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narrator
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:39] Cuff
    Viola says she always falls in love
    with older guys, so I asked her...
[00:45] Cuff
    Wouldn't it be sad to have the person
    you love pass away before you?
[00:50] Cuff
    What she says is...
[00:52] Cuff
    She'd rather be sad than make
    the person she loves sad.
[01:01] Cuff
    What do you think, Zain?
[01:03] Zain
    I...
[01:05] Cuff
    It's too complicated for me to understand.
[01:08] Zain
    Dummy.
[01:12] Cuff
    I...
[01:14] Cuff
    I don't want to be alone.
[01:18] Cuff
    You'll never leave me, right Zain?
[01:30] Zain
    Cuff, for your sake...
[01:33] Zain
    I would.
SIGN    Episode 16
    The Duke, Alice, and Circus 101
[03:14] Alice
    How do you feel in that mask, Your Grace?
[03:17] Duke
    I like it! It's lighter than the last one!
[03:21] Duke
    During the festival it
    was so heavy I fell over.
[03:25] Alice
    Even at this size, it's okay
    for you to touch people.
[03:30] Duke
    Yeah, but you're so cute!
[03:39] Duke
    We need to find Circus Gemini fast, though!
[03:43] Duke
    Oh, let's ask him!
[03:45] Hugo
    Circus Gemini?
[03:47] Hugo
    It's off today.
[03:49] Duke
    That's fine.
[03:51] Duke
    We're here to see Cuff and Zain.
[03:52] Hugo
    What?
[03:53] Hugo
    Are you going after Cuff, too?!
[03:58] Duke
    You shouldn't get too close to me!
[04:02] Hugo
    You can't threaten me!
[04:05] Duke
    No! I'm cursed!
[04:07] Hugo
    Cursed? Something's wrong with you?
[04:11] Duke
    Yeah.
[04:13] Alice
    Do you know Cuff?
[04:15] Hugo
    Yeah, I'm part of Circus Gemini myself!
[04:18] Hugo
    My name's Hugo!
[04:25] Hugo
    That mask of yours... you're not
    Zain's brother or something, right?
[04:30] Duke
    I'm not, no.
[04:33] Hugo
    Cuff's probably there right now.
[04:52] Alice
    She's beautiful.
[04:53] Duke
    Right?
[04:54] Cuff
    Oh, you came?
[04:57] Cuff
    Welcome to Circus Gemini!
[05:00] Cuff
    Oops! I let go!
[05:02] Cuff
    I guess I almost died!
[05:07] Alice
    So Zain isn't here.
[05:10] Cuff
    Yeah, he went out drinking last
    night and hasn't come back.
[05:13] Cuff
    When he gets back, I'm giving
     him a piece of my mind.
[05:15] Hugo
    You were talking about a curse.
[05:18] Hugo
    What did you mean?
[05:20] Duke
    Um...
[05:22] Duke
    Watch closely.
[05:26] Hugo
    It's really a curse and not
    a magic trick, right?
[05:29] Duke
    Yeah. Scary, right?
[05:31] Hugo
    Why? I'm not scared.
[05:34] Duke
    Really? That's great!
[05:37] Ringmaster
    You're wonderful.
[05:40] Ringmaster
    Having something that makes you
    different makes you unique.
[05:43] Ringmaster
    You should join Circus Gemini.
[05:47] Ringmaster
    Can you really kill people?
[05:50] Ringmaster
    Can you shake my hand?
[05:54] Duke
    Cuff, who is this guy?
[05:56] Cuff
    The Ringmaster.
[06:02] Ringmaster
    If you can't stay here forever,
    then at least 3 days...
[06:06] Duke
    No, but...
[06:08] Ringmaster
    We're going to be having a special
    performance in the big plaza two days from now.
[06:12] Ringmaster
    During daytime, so kids can enjoy it.
[06:16] Duke
    The plaza? I'm surprised
    they let you do that.
[06:19] Ringmaster
    I'm on my way to get permission now.
[06:20] Duke
    You didn't get permission yet?
[06:22] Cuff
    That's how it always goes.
    That's the Ringmaster for you.
[06:25] Ringmaster
    I'm going, then.
[06:28] Ringmaster
    But I'm sure you'll be popular.
[06:33] Duke
    Popular... because of my curse?
[06:36] Duke
    Is he an edgelord?!
[06:38] Cuff
    Warm-ups are critical at the circus.
[06:42] Duke
    Alice? Are you going to do it?
[06:45] Alice
    Yes. They were nice enough to
    invite me, so I'd like to try.
[06:55] Alice
    Will you join the circus?
[06:59] Duke
    I don't think I can do it!
[07:02] Alice
    It's your chance to learn to
    be around others, Your Grace.
[07:07] Alice
    Why don't you try it?
[07:08] Duke
    It's not fair of you to use that sexy voice!
[07:12] Hugo
    Here, stop whining and try it!
[07:15] Hugo
    Here, do some juggling!
[07:16] Duke
    I'll try, but I don't think I'll be any good...
[07:26] Hugo
    That's true art.
[07:29] Hugo
    I'll teach you everything you
    need to know, just you wait!
[07:32] Duke
    I don't think I can do it...
[07:37] Cuff
    You start doing the swing from this height.
[07:41] Cuff
    We're not far off the ground,
    but still, be careful.
[07:44] Alice
    Thank you.
[07:46] Duke
    Glance...
[07:47] Duke
    Glance...
[07:49] Duke
    I bet they smell good.
[07:56] Hugo
    Hey! Focus!
[07:59] Duke
    When did you come here, Hugo?
[08:05] Hugo
    Last month.
[08:07] Duke
    Last month?
[08:08] Hugo
    Cuff and the Ringmaster took me
    in when I was just a pickpocket.
[08:13] Hugo
    The rest of the troupe are like me.
[08:16] Hugo
    Guys who have too much strength.
[08:18] Hugo
    Former con men, thugs,
[08:20] Hugo
    people with multiple personalities...
[08:22] Hugo
    Everyone here has been rejected by society.
[08:24] Hugo
    But the Ringmaster says that it's wonderful
    to have something that makes you unique.
[08:32] Hugo
    We changed by coming here to the circus.
[08:37] Hugo
    We've found something that
    gives our lives meaning!
[08:39] Hugo
    For all the trouble we've caused people,
     we want to make them have fun!
[08:43] Hugo
    Make them smile!
[08:50] Hugo
    Now let's do it again!
[08:52] Hugo
    I'll help you until you figure it out.
[08:55] Duke
    Th-Thanks...
[08:58] Duke
    I came here to talk about Daleth.
[09:01] Duke
    But Zain's not here. I guess
    I can do this for a while.
[09:09] Hugo
    Focus!
[09:26] Zain
    It's not that I want to
    leave her behind, but...
[09:45] Duke
    Okay, one more time!
[09:47] Alice
    You're still practicing?
[09:50] Duke
    Yeah.
[09:51] Duke
    I'm a part of the circus now,
    even if only temporarily.
[09:55] Duke
    They're so passionate about
    it that it wouldn't be right
[09:57] Duke
    for me to not take it seriously.
[10:00] Duke
    Because I'm like them. I can't
    lead a normal life either.
[10:06] Duke
    Or am I being naïve?
[10:08] Alice
    It's one of your best aspects.
[10:10] Duke
    Really?
[10:11] Alice
    Yes.
[10:13] Duke
    Look! I got a little better at juggling!
[10:16] Duke
    Watch this!
[10:17] Alice
    I'll take a seat and watch.
[10:20] Alice
    I can be your first audience member.
[10:24] Duke
    Don't laugh if I mess up, okay?
[10:28] Duke
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    welcome to Circus Gemini!
[10:58] Duke
    Like that!
[11:03] Alice
    Encore, please.
[11:06] Duke
    Of that?
[11:09] Cuff
    I don't mind if you drink,
    but this is too much!
[11:12] Zain
    Sometimes, a man wants a drink!
[11:16] Zain
    Huh?
[11:17] Zain
    Maybe I did drink too much.
[11:19] Zain
    I'm hallucinating Alice...
[11:27] Zain
    Can I touch you and see if you're real?
[11:31] Cuff
    A good punch... no, maybe two...
     will wake you up.
[11:38] Zain
    You hit me three times!
[11:40] Cuff
    This is the real Alice!
[11:43] Cuff
    Oh, Lord Thighs is here, too.
[11:46] Duke
    Don't call me that!
[12:11] Keto
    Daleth!
[12:13] Keto
    I came to hang out!
[12:15] Daleth
    Keto, did you see my face?
[12:19] Keto
    I did not!
[12:20] Daleth
    Good.
[12:22] Keto
    But I did get a look at what's inside that.
[12:27] Daleth
    Oh, fine.
[12:29] Daleth
    Can you keep it a secret?
[12:31] Keto
    I can!
[12:39] Keto
    A human woman? Is she alive?
[12:42] Daleth
    She's not breathing, but her heart does beat.
[12:45] Daleth
    She's been asleep a long, long time.
[12:48] Daleth
    I liked her quite a bit,
    and I want to help her.
[12:53] Daleth
    Ideally, I'd like to return her
    to the life she had before,
[12:56] Daleth
    like nothing ever happened.
[12:58] Keto
    She looks like the girl
    who came to the Sabbath.
[13:01] Daleth
    She's her mother.
[13:03] Daleth
    When I saw Alice before, I thought
    she might be Sharon, actually.
[13:09] Daleth
    Fate and destiny... are real things.
[13:17] Daleth
    By the way, Keto. Do you have any
    plans for the immediate future?
[13:20] Keto
    Nah.
[13:22] Keto
    Maybe a date with my girlfriend Teto?
[13:27] Daleth
    Everybody else is so lucky to have a partner.
     I can't stop clucking my tongue.
[13:34] Daleth
    I'm actually going to the human world soon.
    Want to come with me? You can bring Teto.
[13:40] Keto
    Sure.
[13:42] Daleth
    Trendy girls sure have a lot of energy.
[13:44] Keto
    Watching the fun again?
[13:46] Daleth
    No. I'm going for a reason this time.
[13:51] Daleth
    I'm bringing Zain back.
[13:54] Keto
    He's the traitor who brought
    a human to the Sabbath, right?
[13:57] Daleth
    That doesn't matter at all.
[14:00] Daleth
    Be more respectful.
[14:02] Daleth
    He will be a powerful witch someday.
[14:06] Daleth
    And with Zain's magic, it's possible.
[14:14] Daleth
    He's a ladies' man. If I bring you and Teto,
     he'll be easier to talk to.
[14:20] Keto
    I'm not sexy at all, but... got it!
[14:24] Keto
    As your subordinate, I shall accompany you!
[14:27] Daleth
    Subordinate?
[14:28] Keto
    Maybe more like one of the Daleth Girls?
[14:30] Daleth
    That's a stupid name.
[14:32] Keto
    I'll go get Teto!
[14:34] Keto
    Gotta get ready fast!
[14:38] Daleth
    She's always so loud.
[14:46] (Flashback) Sade
    Daleth, your face looks just like mine,
     so it's hard to tell us apart.
[14:53] (Flashback) Sade
    Would it be all right if I changed that?
[15:11] Hugo
    Wow!
[15:13] Hugo
    You've totally mastered juggling!
[15:17] Hugo
    And with four at a time!
[15:19] Hugo
    You really worked hard!
[15:21] Hugo
    I thought you were a huge wimp,
     but I guess you're not!
[15:27] Ringmaster
    I'm impressed, yeah.
[15:29] Ringmaster
    But why didn't you do something
    that uses your curse?
[15:37] Zain
    They're not coming to take our order.
[15:42] Cuff
    I can't wait anymore!
[15:43] Cuff
    I'll go get them.
[15:48] Zain
    So, what did you want to talk about?
[15:50] Duke
    It's, um... about your magic.
[15:55] Zain
    It's fine. You can tell Alice.
[15:59] Duke
    Daleth is after your time magic.
[16:04] Zain
    I see. So Daleth already found out, huh?
[16:13] Zain
    Sheesh.
[16:14] Zain
    This power's such a pain.
[16:18] Zain
    I guess it's time to go, then.
[16:21] Duke
    Zain?
[16:23] Zain
    I'm leaving the city.
[16:26] Zain
    If I stay here, she might come
    after Cuff or Circus Gemini.
[16:30] Duke
    But...
[16:31] Duke
    Are you really okay with that?
[16:35] Zain
    It's something I've been thinking about.
[16:38] Zain
    Cuff's not like me. She could
    pass as a human here easily.
[16:43] Duke
    But...
[16:45] Duke
    You can't leave Cuff!
[16:51] Cuff
    I'm back.
[16:53] Cuff
    What are you all so serious about?
[16:55] Zain
    We were sharing dirty jokes!
[16:56] Cuff
    You're lucky my hands are full!
[16:59] Zain
    Why are you bringing the
    meat pies? Did you get a job here?
[17:03] Cuff
    I'm helping, that's all.
[17:04] Cuff
    Aren't I great?
[17:06] Zain
    Y-Yeah.
[17:08] Cuff
    Now let's eat!
[17:14] (Flashback) Cuff
    You'll never leave me, right Zain?
[17:24] Zain
    Cuff,
[17:27] Zain
    for your sake...
[17:31] Zain
    I would.
[17:35] Ringmaster
    And now, our circus's new star!
[17:45] Song
    Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome
    to the Circus Night!
[17:51] Song
    The show's about to begin, so enjoy!
[17:55] Song
    Circus Night!
[17:56] Song
    The swing swings! The beasts roar!
[18:01] Song
    If we pull it off, give us a cheer
    that they can hear above ground
[18:11] Song
    Circus night!
[18:13] Song
    When the strongman breathes fire,
    it'll burn your boredom and you'll feel great
[18:23] Song
    Unique specs, Mysterious tricks
[18:29] Song
    Make you smile!
[18:31] Song
    Gemini on stage!
[18:38] Zain
    Sheesh... I gave you my spot. At least try
    to stand on stage like you belong there.
[18:44] Zain
    Ooh! Next is Alice! She's so cute!
[18:48] Teto
    Hey, Mister!
[18:49] Keto
    You're with Circus Gemini, right?
[18:52] Zain
    They're hitting on me!
[18:55] Zain
    I love party girls!
[18:58] Zain
    My name's Zain!
[19:00] Zain
    Everybody calls me that, and you can, too!
[19:02] Keto
    It's been a long time.
[19:04] Zain
    Have we met?
[19:06] Teto
    Teto...
[19:07] Keto
    And Keto...
[19:09] Daleth
    And Daleth, too!
[19:13] Zain
    Sorry, can you just leave?
[19:16] Zain
    Or let me play with your boobs?
[19:18] Daleth
    Die.
[19:19] Zain
    I didn't expect you to come
    all the way to Circus Gemini.
[19:24] Teto
    Shake, shake, shake, shake...
[19:26] Daleth
    Zain, come back to the Witches' World with us.
[19:30] Daleth
    I need your time magic.
[19:34] Zain
    Crap...
[19:37] Zain
    I'm falling to the dark side!
[19:40] Keto
    Daleth, is he really that amazing of a witch?
[19:44] Daleth
    Yes.
[19:44] Daleth
    That's why I brought enough firepower
    to overcome his defenses.
[19:49] Keto
    My plant power.
[19:52] Teto
    My poison.
[19:55] Zain
    So what, you're going to hurt me?
[20:00] Daleth
    Not if you come with us.
[20:03] Daleth
    Of course, I won't have
    to threaten Cuff either.
[20:08] Daleth
    You're going to be a powerful mage one day.
[20:16] Daleth
    If you want to stop the terror,
     answer "yes" or "no."
[20:27] Daleth
    Why did they fall apart?
[20:31] Zain
    I can use illusion magic, too.
[20:34] Daleth
    You knew my magic and used the same thing?
[20:39] Daleth
    You are a genius.
[20:42] Zain
    A genius, huh?
[20:46] Zain
    My answer to your question is "yes."
[20:51] Zain
    I've been thinking about doing it anyway.
[20:54] Zain
    I'll leave Cuff and the
    troupe behind in two days.
[20:56] Daleth
    Two days?
[20:57] Zain
    Yes. Give me a day to say goodbye.
[21:02] Daleth
    I see.
[21:03] Daleth
    That makes me happy, Zain.
[21:04] Daleth
    We'll come back the day after tomorrow, then.
[21:07] Zain
    Bye-bye!
[21:23] Zain
    Cuff...
[21:26] Zain
    I didn't get to see Alice!
[23:03] Daleth
    I'm disappointed.
[23:05] Daleth
    He lied to me and has
    no intention of coming.
[23:11] Daleth
    If you don't want to use
    your magic that badly,
[23:14] Daleth
    I'll just have to make
    sure you have no choice.
[23:20] Daleth
    I can't wait for tomorrow.
