[00:02] Narr
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:10] Narr
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:16] Narr
    Plants, animals... and of
    course, humans, as well.
[00:20] Narr
    He was still alive, and yet cut
    off forever from human warmth.
[00:24] Narr
    And his mother said...
[00:27] (Flashback) Gerbera
    That child is like death incarnate.
[00:29] Narr
    ...of him.
[00:30] Duke
    Okay, see you around, Philip.
[00:33] Duke
    It's almost spring, but it's still cold.
[00:37] Duke
    Are you cold?
[00:38] Alice
    I'm fine.
[00:40] Alice
    I'm wearing a snowsuit, see?
[00:43] Duke
    That's not a snowsuit!
[00:46] Alice
    It's quite functional, too.
[00:48] Duke
    Functional, how?

    Dance Party (Part 2)
[02:28] Duke
    So this is your plan for keeping
    people safe at the ball?
[02:31] Viola
    That's right. You're just a
    decoration now, so don't move.
[02:36] Viola
    Mom told me that you could
    attend if you stayed like that.
[02:40] Duke
    True, as thick as it is, even if I
    ran into someone, they'd be fine...
[02:46] Viola
    I said, don't move!
[02:47] Alice
    It seems it's safe to touch you.
[02:49] Duke
    Don't risk your life to find out!
[02:52] Duke
    There's a whole lot of people here, though.
[02:54] Duke
    You're so cute, someone
    might try to hit on you.
[02:57] Alice
    That won't happen. Don't worry.
[03:00] Duke
    Y-You're sure?
[03:01] Viola
    There are a lot of people
    here, though, yeah...
[03:04] Viola
    I'm nervous about my violin performance.
[03:07] Viola
    What do I do, Alice?
[03:10] Gerbera
    Welcome to our party.
[03:14] Gerbera
    Hello there.
[03:16] Gerbera
    Oh, it's been so long.
[03:19] Gerbera
    How are you today?
[03:24] Gerbera
    Does my smile look normal?
[03:26] Sharon
    It's perfect, ma'am.
[03:29] Sharon
    Our smiling practice last night paid off!
[03:33] Gerbera
    I know it's just once a year,
    but this is exhausting.
[03:35] Sharon
    Don't say that. Just do your best, Gerbera.
[03:38] Duke
    What do I do?
[03:39] Duke
    I can't look for Daleth like this.
SIGN    Welcome, everyone!
SIGN    Have a good evening.
[03:47] Duke
    Walter!
SIGN    Is that you, my creepy brother?
SIGN    Why are you wearing that?
[03:52] Duke
    Don't worry about me.
[03:54] Duke
    More importantly, have you seen Daleth?
SIGN    Don't you dare even say her name!
[03:58] Duke
    I'm not even allowed to say her name?
SIGN    Is she here?
[04:02] Duke
    Yeah.
[04:03] Duke
    Viola gave her a dress to wear for the ball,
[04:07] Duke
    but she got embarrassed and disappeared.
SIGN    Mother.
SIGN    A friend of mine seems to have gotten lost in the mansion, so I'm going to look for them.
SIGN    I'll introduce you later.
[04:21] Gerbera
    I didn't know he had friends.
[04:23] Sharon
    It might be a girl!
[04:25] Sharon
    What do we do? What do we do?
[04:27] Gerbera
    I don't mind, as long as they're
    worthy of our family name.
[04:31] Gerbera
    Everyone, let's start the dancing.
[04:35] Gerbera
    My daughter, Viola, will put
    on a performance for us.
[04:43] Viola
    Everyone's staring at me.
[04:45] Viola
    Oh, no...
[04:48] Attendees
    What's wrong?
[04:49] Attendees
    We can't dance like this.
[04:52] Viola
    What do I do?
[04:56] Attendees
    So there was a person inside that armor?
[04:59] Attendees
    A little surprise for the ball, I see.
[05:09] Attendees
    What a wonderful performance it is, though.
[05:24] Sister
    You're not going to dance, Brother Philip?
[05:28] Sister
    Viola's playing.
[05:30] Philip
    I'm thinking about life right now.
[05:33] Sister
    What do you mean?
[05:37] (Flashback) Duke
    I'm sorry.
[05:40] Philip
    He's not the one who needs to apologize—
[05:47] Duke
    The armor's in the way, I can't see a thing,
[05:50] Duke
    and I can barely hear, either!
[05:52] Duke
    Is everyone having fun?
[05:54] Alice
    Yes, they're having a wonderful time.
[05:56] Alice
    Lady Viola is enjoying herself.
[06:02] Sharon
    It's like the two of them are
    playing together as siblings.
[06:04] Sharon
    His Grace's piano playing is even more
    wonderful than it was when he was a child.
[06:11] Sharon
    Hey, don't you think so?
[06:21] Sharon
    Gerbera?
[06:24] Gerbera
    I just found myself wanting to touch his
    mussed-up hair more than anything...
SIGN    I found you!
[06:48] Daleth
    Walter!
SIGN    My hair's a mess. How embarrassing.
SIGN    It's cold up here, and it's not safe.
SIGN    Come down to the ball.
[07:02] Daleth
    I don't want to go. I don't want to see
    you dancing with a girl I don't know.
[07:11] Daleth
    The one with the stylish bangs.
SIGN    She's a friend!
SIGN    She likes witches and black magic, so we had a lot in common.
SIGN    I'm so proud to know you that I wanted to tell her about you...
SIGN    But of course, I didn't.
SIGN    Do you not like it when I'm friendly with other girls?
[07:35] Daleth
    I'm sorry.
[07:37] Daleth
    I don't want to cause trouble for you.
SIGN    It's no trouble.
SIGN    I just think it's cute.
SIGN    I try to be nice to all living things, with the exception of my brother.
SIGN    So tell me whenever there's anything you want.
[07:54] Daleth
    Th-Then... I want you to kiss me.
[08:03] Daleth
    No! No! Not now... I need it for a ritual!
SIGN    A ritual?
[08:09] Daleth
    I want to become human.
[08:12] Daleth
    And to do that, I need to
    gather a thousand items
[08:15] Daleth
    and do a process that's
    a thousand steps long.
[08:18] Daleth
    And the last step is... a kiss with a human.
SIGN    You want to be human? Even though you're so strong and cool?
[08:27] Daleth
    Thank you.
[08:29] Daleth
    But I can't stay a witch.
[08:31] Daleth
    I'm not actually cut out
    to be the boss, anyway...
[08:33] Daleth
    And...
[08:35] Daleth
    I want to be human so I can be with you...
SIGN    A kiss, huh?
SIGN    I'm happy you'd choose me when there are so many other humans.
[08:47] Daleth
    I want to hear your answer.
[08:50] Daleth
    But I don't want to hear it...
SIGN    But I'm sorry. I can't.
[08:57] Daleth
    O-Of course... You don't want to
    kiss an ugly, clingy girl like me...
SIGN    No, that's not it.
SIGN    I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've decided I will only ever kiss the girl I marry.
SIGN    There's a chance I'll be the family heir.
SIGN    I don't want to do anything I'm not committed to.
[09:17] Daleth
    I'm sorry...
[09:19] Daleth
    You're so kind, and I'm causing
    trouble for you again...
[09:24] Daleth
    But I don't want anyone else...
     I only want you...
SIGN    I don't need an answer right now...
SIGN    So I just want you to think about it until you come to the end
SIGN    of those thousand steps.
SIGN    If you're willing to marry me, then ask me for a kiss again.
SIGN    If you'll have me...
SIGN    Now, stand up.
SIGN    I've learned a little more about you.
SIGN    Fix your makeup, and let's go to the party.
SIGN    You look lovely in that dress.
[10:14] Daleth
    I'm sorry for being like this,
    for being an ugly witch.
[10:20] Walter
    I'm sorry for being like this,
    the replacement, the second son.
[10:25] Daleth
    I'm the second daughter too, so I can relate.
[10:29] Walter
    We've both had it rough, so we get along.
[10:36] Both
    We don't know love, but we
    can heal each other's wounds—
[10:45] Both
    we can understand each other.
[10:47] Daleth
    The D in Daleth stands for "Don't let me go!"
[10:51] Walter
    The "W" stands for "We can smile"!
[10:55] Walter
    We get closer to each other... A, B, C, D... W!
[11:16] Daleth
    I've never danced at a ball before.
[11:20] Daleth
    Especially not someplace so fancy...
SIGN    Don't worry. Just follow my lead.
SIGN    May I put my arm around you?
[11:29] Daleth
    Go ahead...
[11:32] Daleth
    His face is so close!
    I'm sweating! I'm sweating!
SIGN    Your arm goes here.
SIGN    One, three, four.
SIGN    One, three, four.
SIGN    That's right, yes.
SIGN    One, three, four.
SIGN    One, three, four.
[11:49] Daleth
    It's so wonderful the way he's
    skipping the second beat...
SIGN    That's my mother over there.
SIGN    I want to introduce you. Is that all right?
[12:02] Daleth
    You want to introduce me?
[12:03] Daleth
    I don't know if I'm ready...
SIGN    I see. Some other time, then.
[12:09] Daleth
    I'm sorry.
[12:11] Daleth
    That's Walter's...
[12:14] Daleth
    What do I do if she thinks
    I'm not worthy of him?
SIGN    Is something wrong?
[12:23] Daleth
    Well...
[12:25] Daleth
    I'm scared... I'm embarrassed...
[12:28] Daleth
    I want to hide my face!
SIGN    Daleth, cast a spell.
SIGN    If you don't want people looking at you,
SIGN    then let's go to a world where it's just the two of us.
[12:40] Daleth
    Just the two of us?
SIGN    Yeah.
[12:45] Daleth
    Just the two of us...
SIGN    See? Nothing to be scared of now.
[12:58] Daleth
    Yeah.
[13:09] Daleth
    Is it okay for me to receive
    this much kindness?
[13:14] Daleth
    If you tried to con me and sell me pots or
    water or something... I'd buy a whole lot.
SIGN    What are you talking about?
SIGN    I want you to smile.
SIGN    Because I love your smile.
[13:34] Gerbera
    She loves Walter, doesn't she?
[13:42] Attendees
    Goodnight, Gerbera.
[13:44] Gerbera
    Yes, let's do this again.
[13:47] Duke
    Those two have been talking this whole time.
[13:51] Duke
    Think they like each other?
[13:53] Alice
    They're quite close.
[13:54] Nico
    What, the party's over already?
[13:56] Duke
    Mr. Nico?!
[13:58] Nico
    Oh, just call me "Nico"
    when we're not at school.
[14:01] Nico
    I went to your mansion, and nobody
    was there but the butler.
[14:05] Nico
    He seemed like a really cool guy,
    so I'd like to talk to him again.
[14:10] Duke
    But if you're here, that means...
[14:14] Nico
    Kept you waiting, didn't I?
[14:16] Nico
    One week from now, we'll go
    back into the past to see Sade.
[14:21] Duke
    One week from now...
[14:22] Nico
    Make sure you're all ready to go.
[14:25] Nico
    I've got a plan to break your curse,
[14:27] Nico
    but I'll tell you once everybody
    arrives at your mansion.
[14:31] Nico
    I'd like to go tell them, too,
[14:34] Nico
    but I think I'd be interrupting.
[14:36] Duke
    You're really nice...
[14:48] Gerbera
    I'm exhausted.
[14:53] Duke
    Mother, it's me.
[14:55] Gerbera
    Come in.
[15:02] Duke
    Are you okay?
[15:04] Gerbera
    I've been racing to get ready for
    the ball these past few days.
[15:08] Gerbera
    Make it quick.
[15:10] Gerbera
    Do you think you can break the curse?
[15:12] Duke
    I'm going to see the witch
    who cursed me next week.
[15:15] Duke
    To be honest, I still don't
    know what will happen...
[15:19] Duke
    So I wanted to talk to you.
[15:24] Duke
    What do you think about me?
[15:27] Gerbera
    What do I think?
[15:29] Duke
    When I was cursed, you moved me to
    that mansion almost immediately...
[15:34] Duke
    You called me "Death Incarnate."
[15:37] Duke
    So I was wondering if you even
    still wanted me to be heir.
[15:40] Gerbera
    Did I call you "Death Incarnate"?
[15:43] Duke
    You did! You totally did!
[15:45] Duke
    Maybe you forgot, but I didn't!
[15:47] Gerbera
    I see.
[15:48] Gerbera
    Then I apologize for that.
[15:50] Gerbera
    I'm sorry.
[15:53] Gerbera
    But I don't regret sending you away.
[15:58] Gerbera
    I can't leave this place.
[16:01] Gerbera
    Rob's been telling me what you've been up to.
[16:06] Gerbera
    I've always wanted you to
    inherit the family name.
[16:12] Gerbera
    Because you were born as the eldest son...
[16:14] Gerbera
    Because that's the rule for us nobles.
[16:17] Gerbera
    And what happened...
[16:20] (Flashback) Duke
    I'm marrying Alice!
[16:23] Gerbera
    As a noble, I can't allow that.
[16:28] Gerbera
    I know Alice is a good girl.
[16:31] Gerbera
    She's like Sharon. She's beautiful.
    Charming. Good-natured. Sweet-voiced.
[16:38] Duke
    That's a lot... but yes.
[16:41] Gerbera
    But the difference in your
    social status is too great.
[16:44] Duke
    What do you personally think,
    not as a noble but as yourself?
[16:49] Gerbera
    I, personally...
[17:18] Duke
    Before I was cursed, you gave me so
    much love and so many kind words...
[17:26] Duke
    You patted me on the head and
    told me I was good at the piano.
[17:30] Duke
    When I ran around the yard playing,
    you told me I was full of energy.
[17:34] Duke
    Not always, of course...
    but it made me happy.
[17:40] Duke
    Maybe you forgot, but I didn't.
[17:45] Duke
    Goodnight, Mother.
[17:48] Duke
    I'll do my best.
[17:59] Gerbera
    Of course I care about you...
[18:03] Viola
    Thanks for coming, guys!
[18:05] Viola
    Take care on your way home, Alice!
[18:07] Alice
    Thanks...
[18:09] Duke
    Um, what about me?
[18:12] Duke
    Philip!
[18:14] Duke
    I'm sure you're still scared of me,
     but I'll break this curse.
[18:18] Duke
    And when I do... play
    with me like you used to!
[18:22] Duke
    So, um... Bye! See you again, Philip!
[18:25] Duke
    Let's meet again!
[18:28] Sister
    Come on, Brother. Don't ignore him.
[18:31] Sister
    Come on, do it. Do it.
[18:37] Viola
    What a loser.
[18:38] Duke
    He didn't ignore me!
[18:40] Duke
    I'm glad I worked up the courage to try!
[18:42] Duke
    Friends...
[18:43] Duke
    Does that mean we're friends again?
[18:46] Alice
    Perhaps.
[18:48] Viola
    More importantly...
[18:50] Viola
    You really helped me out when
    I was playing the violin.
[18:54] Viola
    Thanks.
[18:55] Viola
    Now get out of here!
[18:59] Duke
    My little sister's so cute.
[19:03] Duke
    Friends, huh?
[19:05] Duke
    Can I really be friends with Sade?
[19:09] Duke
    Can I work things out with her
    and have her break my curse?
[19:12] Alice
    If you get very close to her,
    I might be very jealous.
[19:16] Duke
    No, I'm not really planning on that...
[19:18] Alice
    I'm joking.
[19:19] Duke
    You're joking.
[19:21] Alice
    I'm sure you're the only
    one who can change her.
[19:25] Alice
    I was saved by your kindness once, too.
[19:29] Duke
    I get embarrassed when
    people compliment me...
[19:31] Alice
    You're so sexy, Your Grace.
[19:33] Duke
    Is that something to say right now?
[19:36] Alice
    I spoke to my mother earlier,
    and she seems to have remembered...
[19:41] Alice
    what happened with Sade before
    she was cursed and put to sleep.
[19:45] Duke
    What happened with Sade?
[19:47] Alice
    Sade asked my mother this:
[19:51] Alice
    "Would you be willing to go to sleep forever
[19:54] Alice
    if it would mean curing Alice's illness?"
[19:58] Duke
    Is that what happened?
[20:00] Alice
    My mother said that while
    she did go to sleep,
[20:04] Alice
    Sade kept her promise.
[20:07] Alice
    But that's why it made her sad that she
    wasn't able to truly understand Sade.
[20:14] Duke
    So even Sharon couldn't do it...
[20:18] Duke
    The strongest witch, starved for
    love and able to read minds...
[20:23] Duke
    I wonder if maybe she
    won't even talk to me.
[20:26] Alice
    Let's do our best.
[20:28] Alice
    I'll help.
[20:29] Duke
    Yeah.
[20:32] Alice
    We have a week till we go
    back into the past, huh?
[20:40] Duke
    A week...
[20:42] Duke
    In one week... the fun life
    I have now will be over.
[20:47] Duke
    Whether my curse is broken
    or not, I'm sure...
[20:51] Duke
    I won't go back to the life I have now.
[20:56] Duke
    I'm scared.
[20:57] Duke
    But I have to move forward.
[21:01] Duke
    Because someday, I want to touch your hands,
[21:05] Duke
    your fingers, your shoulders, your hair...
[21:11] Duke
    Alice...
[21:12] Duke
    Am I in the future you see?
[21:17] Duke
    When my curse is broken,
    will you still be there for me?
[21:22] Alice
    Your Grace?
[21:24] Duke
    I'm scared...
[21:26] Alice
    About Sade?
[21:28] Alice
    Or your family?
[21:29] Duke
    All of it...
[21:32] Alice
    Want me to give you air headpats?
[21:34] Duke
    No, thanks! That's dangerous!
[21:36] Duke
    A-Alice...
[21:38] Alice
    I hope someday I can hold you close...
    and make your fears go away.
[21:45] Duke
    Thank you...
[21:46] Duke
    I want to do the same for you.
[21:50] Duke
    One week left...
[21:53] Duke
    I'm going to spend each day at peace,
    treasuring it as best I can.
[21:58] Duke
    I'll move forward...
[21:59] Duke
    for the sake of the future that awaits me.
