[00:01] Narr
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narr
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:15] Narr
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narr
    Even people he'd never met spoke of him as
[00:22] Narr
    "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narr
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:30] Zain
    We should come up with hand signals
    before the big fight with Sade.
[00:35] Cuff
    What?
[00:36] Zain
    We'll be able to use movements to
    communicate, even if we can't speak.
[00:40] Zain
    Like, this means "Stop."
[00:42] Cuff
    I see.
[00:45] Cuff
    Do you know what this one is?
[00:46] Zain
    Fox?
[00:48] Zain
    When will you use that?
[00:51] Cuff
    Then what about this?
[00:52] Zain
    Viola!
[00:56] Cuff
    What's this one?
[01:00] Zain
    A bear?
[01:02] Cuff
    Nope! A ghost!
[01:05] Zain
    When would we use that?
SIGN    Episode 31
    Coming Together
[03:05] Cuff
    Zain, let's have meat pies for lunch.
[03:07] Zain
    Can't we just eat at home?
[03:09] Cuff
    It's good weather today. I want to eat out.
[03:12] Nico
    Cuff! Zain!
[03:13] Nico
    I've come to see my cute students!
[03:16] Cuff
    The teachers!
[03:19] Flea
    Come on, sit down.
[03:20] Zain
    I refuse.
[03:22] Zain
    If we hang out with shady characters like
    you, people will think we're weird as well.
[03:26] Cuff
    Come on, Zain!
[03:27] Zain
    She's fast!
[03:29] Nico
    I'll pay for lunch.
[03:32] Zain
    Where do you even get your money?
[03:34] Ichi
    We grow veggies at the school and sell them.
[03:38] Zain
    I don't think I believe that.
[03:40] Zain
    So?
[03:41] Zain
    Is it time?
[03:42] Nico
    Yup.
[03:43] Nico
    Next week, we go back in
    time to break Sade's curse.
[03:47] Zain
    Next week, huh?
[03:48] Nico
    Your magic is the most important
    part of the plan, though.
[03:51] Nico
    We helped you master it back at school...
[03:55] Nico
    How's it been going since then?
[03:57] Zain
    Leave it to me.
[03:59] Zain
    I can make a time door as easy as pie now.
[04:04] Ichi
    Give me back my sunglasses!
[04:06] Flea
    You used magic to stop time, didn't you?
[04:09] Zain
    Well, I'm a genius.
[04:11] Cuff
    That's a lie.
[04:13] Cuff
    Zain is the type to put in the effort.
[04:15] Cuff
    He's practicing every day
    until he exhausts himself.
[04:17] Zain
    Don't tell them that!
[04:19] Zain
    Anyway, aren't you taking
    your wizard buddies?
[04:24] Zain
    The more people who've got experience
    fighting Sade, the better, right?
[04:28] Ichi
    No, we can't do that.
[04:30] Ichi
    They're all badly wounded,
    body and mind alike.
[04:33] Ichi
    A lot of them have lost their magic entirely.
[04:36] Ichi
    I don't want to lose any more of them.
[04:39] Ichi
    And if we surround her with a lot
    of people, she'll get nervous.
[04:42] Ichi
    The boy's convinced me.
    I want to start by talking to her.
[04:48] Ichi
    But if that breaks down, we'll fight.
[04:52] Ichi
    I'll explain the specific
    plan on the day we go.
[04:55] Ichi
    We'll have fewer people, but we'll be taking
    Flea and the upperclassmen. And Daleth.
[05:00] Ichi
    We're every bit as strong
    as we were last time.
[05:04] Zain
    All he's got is barriers
    and horses. Can he fight?
[05:07] Flea
    I can't do as much as you.
    But I can do quite a lot.
[05:11] Cuff
    Hey, what about Viola?
[05:13] Cuff
    I don't want to put her in danger.
[05:15] Cuff
    I don't want to leave her out, though.
[05:18] Nico
    I agree.
[05:19] Nico
    Which is why I'm going to ask
    her to do something else.
[05:22] Cuff
    Fine, then.
[05:25] Nico
    There's one more thing I
    want to talk to Zain about.
[05:28] Nico
    If we do fight Sade, she'll go after you
    first because of your time control powers.
[05:33] Nico
    Are you prepared to risk your life?
[05:36] Nico
    You won't gain anything
    from breaking these curses.
[05:40] Nico
    We'd be glad to have you,
[05:42] Nico
    but you're free to wait in the
    present after you make the gate.
[05:46] Zain
    You're right. I don't gain anything.
[05:49] Zain
    But my friend needs me.
[05:52] Zain
    And he's helped Cuff and me both.
[05:54] Zain
    I want to repay him.
[05:57] Zain
    That's about all there is to it.
[06:01] Nico
    I see.
[06:02] Nico
    That's just like you.
[06:11] Alice
    Your Grace.
[06:13] Alice
    Everyone's here.
[06:15] Alice
    I've seen Zain and Walter to the parlor.
[06:18] Duke
    I'll go right away.
[06:19] Duke
    You have fun with the girls.
[06:22] Alice
    All right.
[06:25] Viola
    What? Daleth's not coming?
[06:29] Keto
    She needs a little more time to
    get the items to become human.
[06:34] Cuff
    D...
[06:36] Keto
    She's got close to 1,000!
[06:39] Viola
    What? And I was hoping I could...
[06:39] Cuff
    E... F... G...
[06:43] Cuff
    H! Next is H!
[06:44] Viola
    Cuff, shut up!
[06:46] Viola
    And how many months is it taking
    you to learn those letters?
[06:48] Cuff
    How many, I wonder.
[06:50] Viola
    Don't wonder about it!
[06:53] Alice
    It's wonderful that you're
    able to keep studying.
[06:57] Viola
    Don't spoil her!
[07:00] Viola
    And I brought Walter so he could see her...
SIGN    She can read thoughts?
[07:06] Zain
    Seriously?
[07:08] Zain
    Sade can do that?
[07:10] Duke
    She was keeping it a secret,
    so I don't know if I should tell you...
[07:14] Duke
    But I wanted to anyway.
[07:16] Zain
    So the secret in the journal...
[07:18] Duke
    Yup. It was just a hint.
[07:21] Duke
    I think even after her sister's death,
    Daleth wanted to keep her sister's secret.
[07:26] Zain
    She was under her control that much, huh?
[07:30] Zain
    I've got no sympathy, but I think I
    understand why it twisted her so much.
[07:36] Zain
    It'd make you lonely, yeah.
[07:38] Duke
    Yeah, I think she was always hurt.
[07:42] Duke
    And that's why she had a special
    attachment to my grandfather,
[07:44] Duke
    who was the same person inside and out.
[07:46] Duke
    But...
[07:48] (Flashback) Sade
    The truth... was that I
    wanted you to love me.
[07:53] Duke
    And then Sade cursed me.
[07:56] Duke
    "I want you to lead a miserable life...
[07:58] Duke
    never loving anyone or
    being loved in turn..."
[08:01] Zain
    But the curse aside,
    she didn't get what she wanted.
[08:09] Zain
    I wonder what the girls are talking about...
[08:13] Zain
    Maybe they're talking
    about something naughty!
[08:15] Viola
    It's time for the big event!
[08:17] Viola
    The part of the sleepover
    where we talk about love!
[08:20] Teto
    Yay!
[08:21] Keto
    Puff-puff!
[08:22] Viola
    Okay, first come first served!
[08:23] Viola
    Who's got something romance-related
    they want to talk about?
[08:27] Keto
    Not me.
[08:27] Teto
    Or me.
[08:28] Alice
    I don't.
[08:29] Cuff
    Me neither.
[08:33] Viola
    The discussion's over.
SIGN    That happens!!
[08:34] Pfeifer
    That happens!
[08:39] Viola
    What are the upperclassmen doing here?
[08:41] Evelyn
    We love talking about romance!
[08:43] Evelyn
    We want to...
[08:44] Pfeifer
    ...join in too!
SIGN    ...join in too!!
[08:48] Millie
    I want to talk about how cool Mr. Flea is!
SIGN    Mr. Flea is mine!
[08:51] Pfeifer
    Mr. Flea is mine!
[08:53] Evelyn
    That's my line!
[08:53] Millie
    I talked to him first!
SIGN    You want to fight?
[08:55] Evelyn
    You want to fight?
[08:55] Pfeifer
    You want to fight?
[08:57] Viola
    Shut up!
[08:58] Viola
    All of you, shut up!
[09:02] Keto
    Wow, she shut them up instantly.
[09:05] Viola
    Now that there's more people here,
    let's talk about something else.
[09:08] Teto
    Beaches and barbecues!
[09:09] Keto
    Clubs and casinos!
SIGN    Hey! Hey! Let's talk about Mr. Flea!
[09:10] Pfeifer
    Hey! Hey! Let's talk about Mr. Flea!
[09:11] Millie/Evelyn
    Me too!
SIGN    You want to fight?!
[09:12] All
    You want to fight?!
[09:13] Viola
    I said shut up...
[09:15] Keto
    The other thing I'm big
    into is magic, I guess.
[09:25] Viola
    It's beautiful...
[09:33] Viola
    I can't handle ones that
    are like bugs like that!
[09:35] Keto
    Sorry, I didn't think
    it'd scare you that much.
[09:40] Viola
    Alice, this rose has been here
    a long time, but it's wilted.
[09:45] Viola
    You're not getting a new one?
[09:47] Alice
    I received this rose from the person I love.
[09:50] Viola
    The person you love?
[09:52] Viola
    Your prince? The one you mentioned before?
[09:54] Alice
    Yes. It's my treasure.
[09:57] Viola
    She has the face of a maiden in love...
[09:59] Viola
    Hey, who do you think it is that Alice likes?
[10:04] Viola
    I'm pretty sure it's not Rob,
    but who else could it be?
[10:07] Viola
    Do you know?
[10:08] Keto
    Are you asking for real?
[10:10] Viola
    What about you, Cuff?
[10:11] Viola
    Cuff!
[10:13] Cuff
    I'm bored!
[10:14] Cuff
    I'm tired of studying!
[10:16] Viola
    You've barely done any!
[10:18] Cuff
    I've learned A, B, C, D, E, F...
[10:20] Cuff
    and I've also learned H!
[10:22] Keto
    Wow!
[10:23] Teto
    A genius!
[10:24] Viola
    You skipped G!
[10:25] Viola
    Don't spoil her, guys!
[10:27] Cuff
    I want Zain to praise me.
[10:29] Teto
    You want the person you
    love to praise you, yeah.
[10:31] Keto
    You look sexy with your hair up, Teto.
[10:34] Cuff
    I'll be back!
[10:35] All
    Go! Go! Let's go, Cuff!
[10:36] Viola
    Are sleepovers usually this chaotic?
[10:44] Cuff
    Zain!
[10:48] Zain
    Cuff!
[10:49] Zain
    What were you girls talking about?
SIGN    Don't ask that...
[10:54] Cuff
    Alice was teaching me about H!
[11:04] Rob
    Here I go!
[11:08] Rob
    Oh, sorry. I hit your face.
[11:11] Duke
    No, it's my fault for having no reflexes.
[11:14] Duke
    Okay, here I go, too!
[11:18] Rob
    I'm tired, I'm afraid.
[11:20] Rob
    I'll just watch you two.
[11:22] Duke
    After you said you wanted to
    do a pillow fight that bad?
[11:25] Rob
    Pillow-fighting, it's all so...
[11:30] Duke
    That's an exaggeration...
[11:32] Duke
    I just said I wanted to treasure
    this last week with everyone...
[11:40] Alice
    Nice catch, Your Grace.
[11:47] Duke
    You're so cute! This is so fun!
[11:50] Rob
    I'm glad to hear it.
[11:57] Duke
    If you bring together all
    the pillows in the mansion,
[11:59] Duke
    they turn into a huge pile, huh?
[12:01] Alice
    Yes. I got excited and
    brought them all together.
[12:03] Duke
    Okay! Jump!
[12:06] Duke
    They're so fluffy!
[12:09] Duke
    Join me, Alice!
[12:10] Alice
    Okay! Catch me!
[12:14] Duke
    No, don't jump at me, please!
[12:21] Alice
    They're so fluffy.
[12:23] Duke
    So cute!
[12:27] Duke
    I feel like she's smiling a lot more lately.
[12:30] Rob
    Zzz...
[12:37] Alice
    It's like we're sleeping in the same bed.
[12:49] Duke
    Wow! You can swim between the pillows!
[12:51] Alice
    Want to play tag inside?
[12:53] Duke
    No touching though, okay?
[12:57] Rob
    If I had a family, and children...
[13:02] Rob
    Would it be like this?
[13:05] Rob
    I'm satisfied with my life as a butler.
[13:08] Rob
    But how does Alice feel?
[13:10] Rob
    Was bringing her here really
    the best choice for happiness?
[13:16] Rob
    Those tears weren't tears of joy...
[13:21] Rob
    Even then, she knew their time
    together would be short...
[13:26] Rob
    She knew that for His Grace's sake,
    she must give up on her feelings.
[13:31] Rob
    I'm not going to get involved
    in their relationship.
[13:34] Rob
    But...
[13:36] Rob
    I don't want her to regret anything.
[13:41] Alice
    Goodnight, Your Grace.
[13:43] Duke
    Goodnight, Alice, Rob.
[13:45] Rob
    Goodnight.
[14:01] Duke
    Rob, there's something I want to ask you.
[14:04] Rob
    What is it?
[14:09] Duke
    How do you propose to someone?
[14:12] Duke
    Is there a right way?
[14:15] Rob
    Who's proposing to who?
[14:20] Duke
    If I can break my curse,
    I'm telling Alice I love her.
[14:24] Duke
    She supported me when I was nothing.
[14:27] Duke
    I want to spend the rest of
    my life making her happy.
[14:30] Duke
    I'm sure we won't have anyone's blessing.
[14:33] Duke
    And I know Alice is worried about
    my family, and her position.
[14:39] Duke
    But...
[14:40] Duke
    I'll make her happy, no matter what happens.
[14:46] Rob
    I'm sorry. I don't know
    how to propose myself.
[14:50] Duke
    I see. I'll ask the Ringmaster, then.
[14:54] Rob
    But...
[14:56] Rob
    The words you just spoke came from
    the heart. They were wonderful.
[15:07] Duke
    Do cigarettes taste good?
[15:08] Rob
    Tonight, they taste especially so.
[16:30] Duke
    So tomorrow, we go back to the past...
[16:34] Duke
    I never did figure out how to propose.
[16:38] Viola
    Now, where can they be?
[16:38] Duke
    Well, it'll be fine, I'm sure.
[16:42] Viola
    See? I found one.
[16:44] Viola
    I'm so good at finding four-leaf clovers.
[16:47] Viola
    You can call me a pro.
[16:48] Alice
    I'm so impressed, Miss Pro.
[16:51] Viola
    I'm blushing here!
[16:55] Viola
    It's so peaceful that I can't believe
    we're going to see Sade tomorrow.
[17:01] Viola
    I'm a little sleepy.
[17:03] Viola
    Let me rest on your lap.
[17:04] Alice
    Go ahead.
[17:10] Alice
    Viola, will you listen to my confession?
[17:15] Viola
    Hmm? What?
[17:17] Viola
    They're huge...
[17:21] Alice
    The person I love is His Grace.
[17:26] Viola
    Really?
[17:27] Viola
    What do you like about my brother?
[17:29] Viola
    How is he even remotely like a prince?
[17:32] Viola
    Why didn't you tell me?!
[17:38] Viola
    Well, you couldn't tell me.
[17:41] Viola
    You have our family to think
    about, and I'm his sister.
[17:46] Viola
    I'm glad you told me.
[17:48] Viola
    You had to have thought
    about it a lot, right?
[17:50] Alice
    But I wanted to tell you, no matter what...
[17:56] Viola
    Let me give you a hug.
[18:00] Viola
    I must've made you worry
    a whole lot. There, there.
[18:04] Viola
    Thanks for opening up to me.
[18:07] Viola
    I love you.
[18:14] Duke
    Is that a four-leaf clover?
[18:16] Alice
    Yes. A gift from Viola.
[18:19] Alice
    I'm going to press it and
    turn it into a bookmark.
[18:22] Alice
    You can imagine me...
[18:24] Alice
    putting it between my breasts
    and squeezing them to press it.
[18:29] Duke
    I think I'd rather imagine
    you doing it with a book!
[18:32] Duke
    I'm scared about what's coming tomorrow.
[18:34] Alice
    Don't think about the fear. Think
    about the fun things that await.
[18:38] Alice
    If your curse gets broken, you can
    go into town whenever you want,
[18:41] Alice
    or play with animals... Anything you want.
[18:44] Duke
    That's right.
[18:46] Duke
    What should I do first?
[18:48] Alice
    What do you want to do with me?
[18:50] Duke
    What are you trying to make me say?
[18:53] Alice
    I want to be the first person
    you hold in your arms.
[18:58] Alice
    When Viola held me in her arms today,
[19:03] Alice
    it was so gentle, and warm, and soft...
[19:06] Alice
    I almost cried.
[19:09] Duke
    How come she gets to hold you?
[19:12] Duke
    I'm so jealous!
[19:13] Alice
    She rested on my lap, too.
[19:15] Duke
    On your lap, too!
[19:18] Duke
    I promise you. The first thing I'll do
    when my curse is broken is give you a hug.
[19:21] Duke
    Let me rest on your lap, too!
[19:24] Alice
    Yes. I will.
[19:28] Alice
    I can't wait to kiss you
    or push you to the bed...
[19:30] Alice
    There's so much I want to do.
[19:32] Duke
    I didn't go that far!
[19:34] Alice
    Let's make sure we break your curse. And...
[19:41] Alice
    we come back here again.
[19:44] Duke
    Yeah.
[19:48] Duke
    I'm feeling scared now...
[19:50] Duke
    How can I persuade the strongest witch?
[19:56] Duke
    I feel like I'm going to throw up.
[19:57] Alice
    Go ahead.
[19:59] Duke
    I'm not actually going to do it!
[20:02] Daleth
    Nobody's here yet, I see.
[20:06] Duke
    Daleth!
[20:07] Daleth
    Walter and Viola were supposed to meet
    up with the others before coming.
[20:11] Daleth
    I guess Zain and Cuff are with them.
[20:16] Duke
    Good timing.
[20:17] Duke
    There's something I wanted to tell you.
[20:19] Daleth
    What?
[20:20] Duke
    I met my grandfather as a ghost,
    and he told me about Sade.
[20:24] Duke
    She really can read minds, can't she?
[20:28] Duke
    I'm sorry, but I told Walter and Zain.
[20:30] Duke
    And if I need to tell the others, I will.
[20:33] Daleth
    I see.
[20:35] Daleth
    Very well.
[20:36] Daleth
    My sister was selfish,
    but was a strong and great witch.
[20:40] Daleth
    I need her alive.
[20:42] Duke
    You need her?
[20:47] Daleth
    I-I've got my reasons.
[20:49] Duke
    She's talking about Walter.
[20:51] Duke
    Hey, you're not taking Keto and Teto?
[20:54] Daleth
    No, they're staying home.
[20:55] Daleth
    If I die, somebody has to take over, right?
[21:02] Duke
    If I fail to persuade her,
    we might not come back alive...
[21:06] Daleth
    Get a hold of yourself.
[21:07] Daleth
    I'm betting it all on you.
[21:09] Daleth
    On your honest personality
    that can't tell a lie.
[21:13] Daleth
    Putting aside the fact that
    you're naive and dense.
[21:15] Duke
    Did you have to say that last part?
[21:18] Daleth
    And if you're Victor's grandson,
    Sade may decide to listen to you.
[21:23] Daleth
    If you can't persuade yourself you can do it,
     how will you ever persuade her?
[21:28] Daleth
    Chin up. For Alice's sake. And yours.
[21:33] Duke
    Thank you, Daleth.
[21:35] Daleth
    They're here.
[21:55] Nico
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[21:57] Nico
    Let's go see Sade.
[22:02] Duke
    Yeah.
