**[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?
***SIGN*** Episode 30
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.*
