[00:27] ---
    Can you imagine...
[00:30] ---
    ...a life in which you could
    never touch the one you love?
[00:35] ---
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:38] ---
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:41] ---
    Plants, animals... and people
    are no exception, of course.
[00:46] ---
    Regarding her son, doomed to live his life
    without knowing the warmth of another,
[00:49] ---
    his mother only complained.
[00:52] ---
    "That child is like Death incarnate..."
[00:54] ---
    ...she said.
[01:00] ---
    Morning, Alice.
[01:07] ---
    Good morning, Your Grace.
[01:09] ---
    I don't think you need to greet
    me so up close and personal.
[01:12] ---
    In town this distance is the norm.
[01:16] ---
    You're making that up!
SIGN    Episode 3:
    The Duke and the Meteor Shower
    During the Full Moon
[03:13] ---
    You're just like a pro!
[03:15] ---
    That was wonderful, Your Grace.
[03:17] ---
    I used to play by myself whenever
    I had some spare time, so...
[03:23] ---
    But are you okay with those terms?
[03:25] ---
    The loser has to do
    whatever the winner says.
[03:29] ---
    Yes, those were the terms
    I suggested, so...
[03:32] ---
    Is this...
[03:34] ---
    ...how you hold the stick?
[03:37] ---
    Well, you don't have to
    lean forward so much...
[03:40] ---
    I thought this might be more
    to your liking, Your Grace.
[03:43] ---
    I'm not fond of any particular pose!
[03:52] ---
    Oh, dear!
[03:54] ---
    Looks like this game is mine...
[03:57] ---
    Alice, I'm sorry, but...
[03:59] ---
    ...I'm going to take the winning shot.
[04:01] ---
    Don't sink it in there.
[04:03] ---
    Don't sink it in there...
[04:05] ---
    ...in there ...in there ...in there.
[04:09] ---
    Uh, um, Alice, I've got to concentrate, so
    could you keep quiet during the game?
[04:13] ---
    Hmm, that's a foul.
[04:15] ---
    What?!
[04:16] ---
    Alice, you may place the
    ball wherever you wish.
[04:19] ---
    It's a safe shot from here.
[04:25] ---
    Looks like I won.
[04:27] ---
    Will you do whatever I ask,
    like we agreed?
[04:31] ---
    Well, okay... What is it?
[04:34] ---
    What should I do if she asks me
    to do something really indecent?
[04:40] ---
    Would you...
[04:44] ---
    ...take a trip into town with me?
[04:47] ---
    Huh?
[04:48] ---
    Are you disappointed because
    it wasn't what you expected?
[04:52] ---
    I'm not, I'm not!
[04:55] ---
    Why do you want to go
    to town all of a sudden?
[04:57] ---
    This weekend, there's a festival.
    All the townspeople will wear costumes.
[05:02] ---
    If your costume's thick enough,
    Your Grace,
[05:05] ---
    I'm sure anyone you may
    bump into will be all right.
[05:07] ---
    B-But...
[05:08] ---
    ...I'm not used to being in
    places with so many people.
[05:13] ---
    When I passed by last year,
    it didn't appear to be that crowded.
[05:18] ---
    What do you say?
[05:20] ---
    Will you go into town with me?
[05:23] ---
    Don't give me that look! It's not fair!
[05:28] ---
    So, this is...
[05:30] ---
    ...the town?
[05:31] ---
    That's right.
[05:34] ---
    How's your costume working out?
[05:36] ---
    It's not bad.
[05:38] ---
    It's a bit hard to move around in, though.
[05:40] ---
    By the way, that costume
    looks really cute.
[05:43] ---
    I'm not just talking about
    the outfit. You do, too.
[05:46] ---
    Why, thank you.
[05:48] ---
    Only...
[05:50] ---
    ...there are more people
    here than I expected.
[05:52] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[05:54] ---
    Hey, watch-- Yikes! Alice!
[05:57] ---
    It seems I made the right call.
[05:59] ---
    As long as you're encased in steel,
    you have nothing to worry about.
[06:02] ---
    But it's also heavy and
    hard to keep steady...
[06:06] ---
    Is everything all right, Your Grace?
[06:08] ---
    Shall we go home now?
[06:10] ---
    No, you asked me to do this, so I'll
    try to hang in there a little longer.
[06:15] ---
    Thank you for indulging me, Your Grace.
[06:20] ---
    It may have been somewhat rash of me to
    drag you to a place with so many people.
[06:28] ---
    But I've always dreamed of coming into
    town like this on a date with you.
[06:36] ---
    Just like a normal couple.
[06:44] ---
    Your Grace?
[06:46] ---
    I was carried away by the crowd
    and got knocked over to boot.
[06:49] ---
    I wanna go home now.
[06:59] ---
    Where on earth is His Grace?
[07:03] ---
    Are you Sharon? Sharon Lendrott?
[07:08] ---
    Sharon is... my mother's name.
[07:14] ---
    Yes, of course, you're right.
[07:15] ---
    You startled me because you look alike,
    but there's no way you could be her.
[07:19] ---
    So, you must be her daughter...
    Alice, was it?
[07:23] ---
    Who are you?
[07:24] ---
    Nobody important.
[07:26] ---
    Just a slight acquaintance of Sharon's.
[07:30] ---
    Take care, Alice.
[07:36] ---
    I must go look for His Grace.
[07:40] ---
    I've wound up at a square of some sort.
[07:43] ---
    Where am I?
[07:45] ---
    Plus...
[07:47] ---
    ...I've got a lost boy here
    looking to me for help...
[07:47] ---
    Mommy!
[07:51] ---
    ...when I'm lost myself.
[07:51] ---
    Mommy!
[07:55] ---
    Don't cry so hard.
[07:57] ---
    It makes me feel like crying, too.
[08:00] ---
    Hey, there's a piano!
[08:02] ---
    I'll play you something to cheer you up,
    so dry those tears!
[08:08] ---
    I'm so nervous.
[08:11] ---
    To think I'd be playing the piano
    with so many people around...
[08:31] ---
    Huh?
[08:32] ---
    Come over here! Quick!
[08:34] ---
    Hey, this is nice!
[08:43] ---
    They're playing along with me.
[09:07] ---
    Yeah, that's the spirit!
[09:09] ---
    What a wonderful tune!
[09:10] ---
    Here's to the town and good music! Cheers!
[09:39] ---
    Where have you been?
[09:40] ---
    I've been worried sick about you!
[09:44] ---
    Your mommy came for you.
[09:45] ---
    Thank goodness!
[09:47] ---
    Your piano playing was so cool!
[09:49] ---
    Bye bye!
[09:50] ---
    Thanks!
[09:53] ---
    Well now, I'd better find Alice...
[09:57] ---
    I've found you, Your Grace.
[09:59] ---
    Alice?!
[10:00] ---
    Please don't go off on your own.
[10:03] ---
    Come on now, you're too close!
[10:06] ---
    You must be getting tired.
[10:09] ---
    Shall we get going soon?
[10:11] ---
    No, let's stick around a little longer.
[10:13] ---
    We came all this way, so...
[10:15] ---
    ...I'd like to stay here in town
    with you for a bit longer.
[10:18] ---
    Your Grace, is that really you?
[10:22] ---
    May I have a look inside your mouth?
[10:24] ---
    Inside my mouth?! What for?!
[10:57] ---
    Hey, Alice! Take a look at this!
[10:59] ---
    There's a mask that looks just like me!
[11:02] ---
    It certainly does.
[11:04] ---
    Right?
[11:05] ---
    That mask was inspired
    by a Death incarnate...
[11:08] ---
    ...that is said to live in
    the forest north of town.
[11:11] ---
    Though I wouldn't know whether
    such a creature actually exists.
[11:15] ---
    Shall we be on our way now, Your Grace?
[11:20] ---
    I had my suspicions all along, but...
[11:22] ---
    ...it seems there really have been strange
    rumors going around about me.
[11:26] ---
    I'm just a guy with a little
    curse on him, that's all.
[11:32] ---
    What is this? It's really good!
[11:34] ---
    It's called ice cream.
[11:36] ---
    You have some too, Alice. Here.
[11:39] ---
    All right, then.
[11:41] ---
    Why must you do it all sexy like?
[11:45] ---
    Wait. We'll lose each other again.
[11:48] ---
    Your Grace, why don't we
    climb the clock tower?
[11:52] ---
    There doesn't appear to be
    anyone up there now.
[11:54] ---
    Really?
[11:59] ---
    Wow!
[12:01] ---
    It looks like the town's
    been blanketed with stars.
[12:04] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[12:06] ---
    Alice, look! There's the moon!
[12:08] ---
    You mustn't get so excited.
    It's dangerous.
[12:11] ---
    Oh, okay.
[12:18] ---
    Are you familiar with the town fairy tale
    about the princess who marries the moon?
[12:24] ---
    You mean, what we saw earlier?
[12:26] ---
    Yes.
[12:29] ---
    Once upon a time there lived in this land
    a brave prince and a beautiful princess.
[12:35] ---
    The two were deeply in love
    and engaged to be married.
[12:40] ---
    But a jealous witch took the prince
    and carried him off to the moon.
SIGN    Help me!
[12:45] ---
    I guess even in fairy tales,
    all witches do is interfere.
[12:49] ---
    Every year since, on the
    night she was to be wed,
[12:55] ---
    the princess looks toward
    the moon and offers up a kiss.
[13:00] ---
    And that's how the story goes.
[13:02] ---
    It's a rather sad tale, don't you think?
[13:05] ---
    I'm sure the prince is also sending
    her a kiss from the moon.
[13:08] ---
    The farthest kiss in the universe.
[13:10] ---
    It'd be wonderful if that were the case.
[13:13] ---
    But somehow, I think that
    the story describes...
[13:17] ---
    ...the exact opposite of
    our situation, don't you?
[13:21] ---
    Why is that?
[13:22] ---
    Because even though I'm standing
    so close to you, I feel like...
[13:25] ---
    ...you're the farthest thing away from me.
[13:27] ---
    I love you so much I can't stand it.
[13:30] ---
    Yet here we are on a date, and I can't
    even put my arm around your shoulder.
[13:34] ---
    A date?
[13:36] ---
    Did you hear me say that earlier?
[13:39] ---
    "I've always dreamed of coming into
    town like this on a date with you."
[13:45] ---
    Yeah, since you said that,
[13:48] ---
    I hoped I could make this into one,
    if only for a little while.
[13:51] ---
    But I couldn't do a thing.
[13:53] ---
    I'm so sorry I couldn't show
    you such a good time.
[13:57] ---
    I had a wonderful time.
[13:59] ---
    It makes me happy just to be
    by your side, Your Grace.
[14:04] ---
    S-So, is that how you feel?
[14:06] ---
    That's how I feel.
[14:08] ---
    I hope you'll continue to keep me near.
[14:11] ---
    Even if we can never touch, Your Grace,
[14:14] ---
    I'd like to get as close to you as I can
    and gaze deep into your eyes.
[14:22] ---
    I just remembered,
[14:24] ---
    there's a festival going on in town today.
[14:28] ---
    Apparently, they're going to reenact the
    princess and the moon's wedding.
[14:32] ---
    It could be pretty exciting.
[14:34] ---
    I couldn't care less.
[14:49] ---
    "If you cannot sleep, my master,
    you are welcome in my room. -Alice"?
[14:55] ---
    I wonder what she wants.
[14:59] ---
    That's her room, if I'm not mistaken.
[15:02] ---
    It's me. I saw your note, so I came here.
[15:05] ---
    Please, come in.
[15:07] ---
    Welcome to my room, Your Grace.
[15:10] ---
    Why the heck are you naked?!
[15:12] ---
    When I'm in my room, I make it
    a rule not to wear any clothes.
[15:14] ---
    Well, I don't care! Put something on! Now!
[15:24] ---
    Thank you for waiting. Please, do come in.
[15:26] ---
    That outfit looks nice.
    Hope I'm not disturbing you.
[15:31] ---
    What a pleasant fragrance!
[15:34] ---
    I lit a scented candle.
[15:37] ---
    Tonight, I thought I would ease
    your tension, Your Grace.
[15:42] ---
    Ease my... Sounds kind of kinky!
[15:43] ---
    I'll make you some tea.
[15:46] ---
    Whoa! Calm down, now!
[15:48] ---
    Her morals have always been questionable.
[15:52] ---
    You're just overly aware of it because
    you saw her naked a moment ago.
[15:56] ---
    Anyway, just cool your jets.
[15:59] ---
    What's this? Some strings? No...
[16:02] ---
    A G-string?! What's it doing there?
[16:05] ---
    I made you some chamomile tea.
[16:07] ---
    Please drink it while it's hot.
[16:09] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[16:16] ---
    Surely, she must be
    wearing some underwear.
[16:19] ---
    But knowing her...
[16:20] ---
    When you're done with that,
    let's head over to the bed.
[16:27] ---
    Is she planning on doing something to me?
[16:32] ---
    All right, now take your
    clothes off, please.
[16:37] ---
    Wh-What's she going to do?
[16:40] ---
    We can't touch each other or anything.
[16:42] ---
    You have nothing to fear.
[16:44] ---
    Just surrender yourself to me.
[16:47] ---
    She means business.
[16:52] ---
    Lie down, please.
[16:54] ---
    Uh... all right.
[16:57] ---
    What's she going to do to me?
[17:00] ---
    Now close your eyes.
[17:02] ---
    Let your mind and body relax.
[17:06] ---
    All right, sweet dreams!
[17:08] ---
    Huh?! You mean, go to sleep?!
[17:10] ---
    Didn't you come here because
    you were having trouble sleeping?
[17:14] ---
    With the scented candle and chamomile tea,
[17:17] ---
    I thought I could relax you somewhat
    to help you fall asleep.
[17:23] ---
    Please forgive me if I gave you
    the wrong impression.
[17:28] ---
    She did this on purpose.
[17:29] ---
    Don't worry, Your Grace.
[17:32] ---
    I shall remain by your side
    until you fall asleep.
[17:42] ---
    Say, Alice...
[17:44] ---
    Yes, Your Grace?
[17:45] ---
    On the night after next, would you
    mind going out with me for a bit?
[17:50] ---
    There's something...
[17:52] ---
    ...I've got to show you.
[17:55] ---
    Something you've got to show me?
[17:59] ---
    Yes, if you insist.
[18:27] ---
    So, this thing you wanted to show me...
[18:29] ---
    ...is a huge meteor shower
    that happens once a decade?
[18:33] ---
    Uh-huh. Ten years ago, I happened to see
    it one night when I came out to this lake.
[18:39] ---
    What I saw that night,
[18:42] ---
    I will always treasure.
[18:45] ---
    So, I wanted you to come along
    with me and see it again.
[18:49] ---
    So, I get to have that wonderful
    view and you all to myself, then.
[18:56] ---
    We came here to see the
    shooting stars, of course.
[18:59] ---
    But tonight, I want to tell you how
    I really feel, sincerely for once...
[19:03] ---
    ...and not offhanded like I always do.
[19:05] ---
    And I'm determined to do it.
[19:09] ---
    The meteor shower should
    begin any time now.
[19:12] ---
    Alice, look up at the sky.
[19:14] ---
    All right.
[19:17] ---
    I told you to look up at the sky.
[19:19] ---
    It's more fun to look at you, Your Grace.
[19:22] ---
    Well, that's not why we're here.
[19:27] ---
    Your hat!
[19:32] ---
    Alice!
[19:37] ---
    Forgive me. It got a little wet.
[19:40] ---
    It's okay, I don't mind.
    Thanks for going out of your way.
[19:43] ---
    Now climb back on board.
[19:46] ---
    S-Sorry. I can't offer you my hand.
[19:50] ---
    If it weren't for this darn curse,
[19:53] ---
    I wouldn't cause you and Rob
    so much trouble.
[19:57] ---
    I'm sorry for being this way.
[20:01] ---
    If you can't touch me,
[20:03] ---
    then give me a kiss.
[20:06] ---
    If you have any feelings for me,
    then kiss me now.
[20:11] ---
    But you'll die.
[20:14] ---
    Just think how romantic it would be
    to die by your kiss, Your Grace.
[20:18] ---
    It's something the prince and
    princess were never able to do.
[20:27] ---
    D-Do you really want me to do it?
[20:30] ---
    I want to kiss you, too, you know.
[20:32] ---
    If you keep saying stuff like that,
    I'll do it for real.
[20:37] ---
    I really want you to, Your Grace.
[20:55] ---
    I'm sorry, I just can't
    go through with it.
[20:58] ---
    You said what I...
[21:01] ---
    ...thought you'd say.
[21:01] ---
    Wha--?!
[21:07] ---
    Hey, you did that on purpose!
[21:09] ---
    Forgive me, Your Grace.
[21:11] ---
    You don't get enough exercise,
    so I thought I'd force you to swim.
[21:17] ---
    Then just ask me to like a normal person!
[21:20] ---
    It looks like the meteor shower is over.
[21:23] ---
    Shall we head back?
[21:24] ---
    Aw, man!
[21:27] ---
    What a kick in the teeth!
[21:30] ---
    I had a once-in-a-decade chance,
    and now it's gone.
[21:33] ---
    I couldn't even say what
    I wanted to say to you.
[21:36] ---
    What did you want to say to me?
[21:37] ---
    I was going to tell you how
    I really feel about you.
[21:40] ---
    That I like you and all.
[21:42] ---
    Er... I went and said it
    in an offhanded way again.
[21:45] ---
    It doesn't ring true at all.
[21:47] ---
    Oh, this is the pits!
[21:49] ---
    Let's go home now, Alice!
[21:56] ---
    Yes, Your Grace.
[23:31] ---
    Your Grace?
[23:34] ---
    Let's go back to that spot in another
    ten years to watch the meteor shower.
[23:39] ---
    O-Okay.
[23:41] ---
    Does that mean she'll still be
    with me ten years from now?
