**[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?
**[24:00] ---**
