[00:26] ---
Can you imagine...
[00:29] ---
...a life in which you could never
touch the one you love?
[00:34] ---
He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:36] ---
That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:39] ---
His own mother has
distanced herself from him.
[00:41] ---
His friends have called him a monster.
[00:44] ---
Even strangers have spoken of him as the
Death incarnate that dwells in the forest.
[00:49] ---
And yet,
[00:51] ---
he doesn't feel the least bit lonely.

Black Clothes
[02:26] ---
A... B...
[02:30] ---
...C...
[02:34] ---
...E?
[02:35] ---
D comes after C.
[02:37] ---
Aw, this is so hard to remember.
It's giving me a headache.
[02:41] ---
You've only just started, so...
[02:43] ---
Yeah, we're here to give you our support.
[02:45] ---
Sorry. I want to learn to read
and write as quickly as possible
[02:49] ---
so I can surprise Zain.
[02:51] ---
That's amazing, Cuff!
[02:53] ---
You're so smart!
[02:55] ---
Speaking of Zain, where is he today?
[02:58] ---
He's at the circus.
[02:59] ---
You sold him to the circus?!
[03:01] ---
Since we've got nothing better to do,
both of us have started working there.
[03:05] ---
At the circus, our looks don't matter.
No one will suspect we're witches.
[03:08] ---
What do you think of that?
Zain's pretty smart, huh?
[03:10] ---
Um, well...
[03:12] ---
As usual, Cuff thinks
pretty highly of Zain...
[03:16] ---
Anyway, it's important to learn your ABCs.
[03:19] ---
So, be sure and study hard, Ms. Cuff.
[03:22] ---
Okay, I'm counting on you, Teach!
[03:24] ---
By the way, what does the
"Ms." in "Ms. Cuff" mean?
[03:27] ---
I'm not quite sure.
I just thought it has a nice ring to it.
[03:30] ---
So, he fudges the answer there...
[03:38] ---
Good morning, Lord Walter.
[03:42] ---
Good morning.
[03:45] ---
Lookin' cool.
[03:47] ---
You're a regular teen idol.
[03:50] ---
Viola, you aren't thinking of running
off somewhere again, are you?
[03:53] ---
It's almost time for lunch.
[03:55] ---
Try to appreciate the trouble I have
to go through placating Mother.
[03:58] ---
I can't help it.
I've got things to do.
[04:01] ---
Don't tell me you're going to the villa
where our cursed brother lives.
[04:07] ---
It's none of your business, Dear Brother.
[04:09] ---
It is too my business.
[04:10] ---
I shall soon be in the position
of inheriting the family title.
[04:13] ---
It's my duty as head of the family to know
what my younger sister is thinking.
[04:17] ---
But you're the secondborn son.
[04:19] ---
If our brother can break his curse, then
naturally he'll be head of the family.
[04:23] ---
Because he's the firstborn son.
[04:25] ---
How can you be so cruel and say
the words that upset me the most!
[04:30] ---
You're overreacting.
[04:31] ---
All I said was that you're
the secondborn son.
[04:32] ---
There, you said it again!
[04:34] ---
You said it again!
[04:36] ---
To begin with, I never have liked him.
[04:40] ---
The only thing that he's got going for him
is that he was born slightly ahead of me.
[04:43] ---
I wonder how much longer Mother
is going to pin her hopes on him...
[04:46] ---
...when no one knows when
he'll be able to break his curse.
[04:49] ---
Hey, can I leave as soon
as I've finished my tea?
[04:51] ---
I haven't got a second--
[04:52] ---
Secondborn son?!
[04:53] ---
You want to remind me I'm
the secondborn son again?! Huh?!
[04:55] ---
Jeez, he's such a pain in the neck!
[04:58] ---
All right, fair enough.
[05:00] ---
So, how long does it take
to get to the villa from here?
[05:02] ---
Hmm, about two hours, I guess.
[05:06] ---
You tripped up there, Viola!
[05:07] ---
You were planning on going
to the villa, after all!
[05:10] ---
But the "two" in "two hours"...
[05:12] ---
...reminds me of being the
secondborn son, and I can't stand it!
[05:16] ---
It was the death of him.
[05:17] ---
Why?
[05:19] ---
Why are you going to see him?
[05:21] ---
Why do you have a soft spot for him?
[05:23] ---
Why not me?
[05:25] ---
Don't you think I'd make a better
head of the family than he would?
[05:28] ---
You're acting way too desperate,
and it scares me.
[05:30] ---
I'm not particularly planning
on taking his side or yours.
[05:33] ---
Don't say that! Pick me!
[05:39] ---
Anyway, I'm going now.
[05:42] ---
Don't tell Mother I've
been going to the villa.
[05:45] ---
Well, I can't make you any promises.
[05:47] ---
You're only the secondborn son,
after all...
[05:55] ---
Forgive me for being late.
[05:57] ---
Viola said she's going
to a friend's house.
[06:00] ---
I see.
[06:01] ---
One of these days, I'll show you.
[06:04] ---
That I'm better than him.
[06:07] ---
And that I'm worthy of being
the head of this family.
[06:11] ---
Yoo-hoo!
[06:12] ---
Dearest Brother!
[06:13] ---
Little Miss Viola's here!
[06:19] ---
And who might you be?
[06:20] ---
I'm Cuff.
[06:21] ---
I'm a circus performer.
[06:23] ---
A circus performer?
[06:25] ---
Where are the people that live here?
[06:26] ---
I have no idea. You might as
well make yourself at home.
[06:28] ---
Uh-oh, there's something
fishy about her.
[06:30] ---
Did she come in unannounced?
[06:32] ---
Well, technically I did too, so...
[06:33] ---
This looks like Zain.
[06:35] ---
A shiny, gold Zain.
[06:38] ---
She's smiling.
[06:39] ---
Maybe she's a burglar?
[06:41] ---
If she is, then I've got
to do something...
[06:44] ---
And if I do, then Rob might reward me
by stroking my hair or something!
[06:49] ---
I'm up against just one girl.
[06:50] ---
With a Viola tackle, even I could...
[06:53] ---
Hai-yahh!
[06:58] ---
Hers are big and soft, too!
[07:01] ---
What are you talking about?
[07:03] ---
Mother is as flat as a board,
[07:05] ---
so I probably will be, too...
[07:08] ---
She attacked me, and she's
the one taking damage?
[07:11] ---
She's just a child.
She probably wants to play.
[07:18] ---
Come on, don't cry. Can you stand up?
[07:20] ---
Here's my chance!
[07:22] ---
I've got you now!
[07:26] ---
Knock it off! Let go of me!
[07:29] ---
No way!
[07:29] ---
There, there. What an adorable child!
[07:30] ---
Absolutely not!
[07:31] ---
Absolutely, positively not!
[07:37] ---
Now, I'd rather not do this, but I'm going
to just sit here so you can't move.
[07:43] ---
Okay. You mind if I go to sleep?
[07:45] ---
How can you act so relaxed?!
[07:47] ---
A little while ago you shouted out,
"Dearest Brother," or something.
[07:50] ---
Uh, uh-huh. What about it?
[07:51] ---
You and your brother are a lot alike.
[07:54] ---
What?!
[07:55] ---
Wait a sec, you know my brother?
[07:58] ---
Don't lump me together
with a Gloomy Gus like him!
[08:00] ---
But he's a good guy.
[08:02] ---
Um, well, I guess he is... a little.
[08:07] ---
Do you like him?
[08:11] ---
Huh? Uh, well, um...
[08:14] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting, Cuff.
[08:16] ---
It took us longer than we
thought to catch the cat...
[08:18] ---
R-R-R-Rob?
[08:21] ---
Viola, I see you're here, too...
[08:23] ---
Sorry, we'll come back later.
[08:25] ---
No! This is not what you think! Rob!
[08:29] ---
I simply can't marry anyone but Rob!
[08:33] ---
What the heck are you going on about?
[08:37] ---
I had you pegged as a burglar,
[08:39] ---
but it turns out you're
a friend of my brother's.
[08:42] ---
I didn't know Gloomy Guses had friends.
[08:46] ---
Hey, no skin off my back.
They were the words of a child, after all.
[08:48] ---
I am not a child!
[08:50] ---
I'm a respectable lady!
[08:52] ---
Hmm?
[08:54] ---
Lady Viola,
[08:55] ---
excuse me for a second.
[08:58] ---
A speck of dust was ruining
your otherwise beautiful hair.
[09:01] ---
Th-Thanks, Rob.
[09:08] ---
My wish came true!
[09:10] ---
Lady Viola's such a charming girl.
[09:14] ---
Sometimes I get the feeling
you do these things on purpose...
[09:27] ---
It's snowing pretty heavily.
[09:29] ---
Well, we did have a lot
of clear days lately.
[09:32] ---
I'm glad for nights like these. It's easy
for me to invite you to a cup of tea.
[09:39] ---
I'm just a beginner, so go
easy on me, please.
[09:42] ---
And you aren't allowed to use
your feminine wiles on me!
[09:50] ---
Look out, Alice.
[09:51] ---
If you take your eyes off the board,
I might just move the pieces around.
[09:54] ---
All right.
[09:56] ---
If I lose, I'll strip like we promised.
[09:59] ---
We never made any promises like that! And
besides, you've already started stripping!
[10:04] ---
On snowstormy nights,
[10:07] ---
I remember the time I first arrived here.
[10:36] ---
I'm coming in, Your Grace.
[10:39] ---
I see you've made a mess
of your room again.
[10:42] ---
And you haven't even
turned on the lights...
[10:44] ---
I don't want to hear any of your lectures.
[10:46] ---
If you're through, then leave me at once.
[10:49] ---
Today I brought someone
I'd like you to meet, Your Grace.
[10:53] ---
Please, come in.
[10:56] ---
It's been ages since I last saw you.
[10:57] ---
I'm Alice Lendrott. I shall work here
as your maid starting today.
[11:03] ---
"I-It's been ages"...?
[11:05] ---
Who are you?!
I don't know the likes of you!
[11:08] ---
Rob! Who told you that
you could hire a maid?
[11:11] ---
I have the permission of
the lady of the house.
[11:13] ---
And I believe you and Alice were good
friends when you were little, Your Grace.
[11:19] ---
Oh, I have no recollection of that.
[11:23] ---
I hate my childhood days!
I don't want to be reminded of them!
[11:29] ---
Go home at once.
[11:31] ---
There's no place for you in this mansion.
[11:36] ---
I have never forgotten you, Your Grace.
Not even for a single day.
[11:42] ---
After my mother died,
I was left in my aunt's care.
[11:47] ---
Being able to meet you again in this
way... It's a dream come true, Your Grace.
[11:50] ---
Don't come near me.
[11:51] ---
If I touch you, I'll kill you.
[11:52] ---
I'm aware of that.
[11:54] ---
A-Anyway, I won't allow you to work here.
[11:58] ---
Go back to your aunt's home
or wherever you came from!
[12:01] ---
Well, now that we have His Grace's
blessing, let's pick out your room, Alice.
[12:06] ---
I haven't given you my blessing!
[12:08] ---
You sure have some selective hearing!
[12:13] ---
You may have a grown-up body,
[12:15] ---
but your eyes haven't changed a bit.
[12:17] ---
They still have that
gentle look, Your Grace.
[12:25] ---
Who the heck does she think she is?
[12:33] ---
Just leave me alone. I'm begging you.
[12:37] ---
I'll die alone and on my own.
[12:42] ---
Hmm?
[12:47] ---
Are you sure you'd like to stay in there?
[12:50] ---
It's an old storage shed
in need of repair.
[12:54] ---
Yes, I feel more comfortable
in cramped quarters.
[12:58] ---
You must have been
quite shocked back there.
[13:00] ---
He's an adolescent boy, you see,
and lately he acts like that all the time.
[13:04] ---
Well, it doesn't bother me at all.
[13:06] ---
Well, that's a relief.
[13:08] ---
Let me say again,
it's a pleasure to have you here.
[13:11] ---
The pleasure is mine.
[13:12] ---
I'll work as hard as I can.
[13:15] ---
Well, I must say you really do
take after your mother, Alice.
[13:20] ---
People often tell me that.
[13:24] ---
Hey! You're still here?!
[13:27] ---
What's with the mourning dress...
[13:31] ---
Don't tell me that's your maid uniform!
[13:32] ---
Yes, it is.
[13:33] ---
Your Grace, that hat...
[13:35] ---
...looks really good on you.
[13:37] ---
Th-This old thing? It was just lying
around, so I decided to put it on.
[13:41] ---
But that's beside the point!
[13:43] ---
That maid uniform is too showy!
It's grounds for immediate dismissal!
[13:47] ---
Is it really too showy?
[13:50] ---
Around the bust, perhaps?
[13:53] ---
As in, you can't get them off your mind,
and you want to give them a touch?
[13:56] ---
Yesterday you told me you knew
about my curse, didn't you?
[14:00] ---
Of course I know about it.
[14:01] ---
If so, then why?
[14:02] ---
Who the heck do you think you are?
[14:04] ---
I'm Alice.
[14:06] ---
I didn't ask you to tell me your name.
[14:09] ---
I hate you!
[14:11] ---
I hate you so much!
[14:14] ---
Don't follow me!
[14:25] ---
It's pointless playing the piano now...
[14:28] ---
So, this is where you've been, Your Grace.
[14:32] ---
I've brought you your dinner.
[14:34] ---
Won't you try eating just a little bit?
[14:37] ---
I-I don't want any.
[14:38] ---
I told you, didn't I? I'm not going to eat
anything until you leave this place.
[14:42] ---
Do you not like me?
[14:45] ---
No, I don't!
[14:46] ---
I bet you're laughing
at me inside your mind.
[14:49] ---
Because I'm an ugly grouch
and cursed on top of that.
[14:53] ---
I'm a person who's better off dead.
[14:56] ---
You say you want to be of some use to me.
[14:59] ---
But you're actually an egotist
who only wants to glorify herself.
[15:04] ---
Your words are so poetic, Your Grace.
[15:09] ---
At any rate, I'll leave your dinner here,
so you can eat it if you feel like it.
[15:21] ---
I see you're also wearing gloves today.
[15:23] ---
They look very nice on you.
[15:31] ---
After your aunt took you in...
[15:35] ---
...you went through a great deal
of hardship. I suspected as much.
[15:38] ---
I had my share of hardship.
[15:39] ---
It's not as though my
aunt's family was well off.
[15:43] ---
But compared to His Grace,
my life's been...
[15:47] ---
Alice! Could you come
with me for a minute?
[15:50] ---
What's with that look on your face?
[15:52] ---
It's just that I was glad to hear
you call me by my name.
[15:56] ---
Huh?! A-Anyway, come with me!
[16:04] ---
My, what a lovely room!
[16:07] ---
Are you being sarcastic?
[16:08] ---
I want you to clean this up in three days.
[16:11] ---
If you can't, then you're fired.
[16:14] ---
And don't ask Rob for any help, either.
[16:16] ---
So, it's settled then.
[16:18] ---
Good luck.
[16:22] ---
I'll do my best!
[16:34] ---
Give me your hand.
[16:36] ---
I'll take you to your room.
[16:38] ---
You get sick a lot, don't you?
[16:41] ---
You shouldn't be going outside then.
[16:47] ---
Your hand's so warm!
[17:00] ---
Wow!
[17:02] ---
How's this?
[17:05] ---
Don't tell me you did
all this in one night?!
[17:08] ---
Yes, I did.
[17:09] ---
Thinking that I could be of use to
you really fired me up, Your Grace.
[17:18] ---
When I told you to leave, I did it
for your own good as well.
[17:23] ---
There must something more
meaningful for you to do...
[17:26] ---
...than taking care of a wretch like me.
[17:32] ---
I have nowhere else to go, Your Grace,
and I'd like to be by your side.
[17:40] ---
Do you still not want
to remember who I am?
[17:45] ---
I'll wait until you remember
me, Your Grace.
[17:50] ---
Suit yourself.
[17:56] ---
How long are you going to sit there?
[17:58] ---
Until your tears subside, Your Grace.
[18:10] ---
It's gotten chilly in here.
[18:13] ---
Shall I make us some more tea?
[18:15] ---
No, that's all right.
[18:16] ---
I'd rather you stay here...
[18:18] ---
You're not leaving,
[18:20] ---
so I'm leaving!
[18:29] ---
I'm cold to the touch.
[18:31] ---
My feet ache so much.
[18:33] ---
I don't know which way
the mansion is anymore.
[18:37] ---
This is so hard.
[18:38] ---
I'm sad,
[18:40] ---
lonely, and miserable.
[18:44] ---
"No one shall love you,
and you shall love no one."
[18:49] ---
"You shall live a life of misery."
[18:53] ---
Are you happy now, witch?
[18:56] ---
This is all your fault.
[18:59] ---
I wish...
[19:01] ---
...I had the chance to love someone.
[19:12] ---
I thought I was a goner there.
[19:15] ---
Well, maybe I should just die.
[19:20] ---
Just resign myself...
[19:23] ---
...to my fate.
[19:26] ---
Ever since I was cursed,
I've lived an unhappy joke of a life.
[19:31] ---
I yearned for even a single friend.
[19:34] ---
Is that asking too much?
[19:38] ---
I remember now.
That girl's name was Alice, too.
[19:43] ---
Yeah, that's right, that's right!
[19:46] ---
I'd hoped I could see her once again...
[19:50] ---
...but I'd forgotten about her.
[19:54] ---
To think I'd remember her now, when I'm
about to die and can no longer see her.
[20:03] ---
Alice...
[20:11] ---
Your Grace?
[20:15] ---
Alice?!
[20:19] ---
I-I've already made up my mind.
I'm going to die.
[20:22] ---
Just leave me be!
[20:23] ---
First off, you can't mind
your own business--
[20:26] ---
Hey, what are you--?!
[20:27] ---
Why? Why are you throwing your life away?
[20:32] ---
Why don't you cool off a bit?
[20:33] ---
Uh, wait a-- Hey!
[20:36] ---
You've got a right
to be happy, Your Grace!
[20:38] ---
I don't care whether you're cursed or not.
[20:41] ---
I'd hate to see you give up along the way.
[20:44] ---
And please consider the feelings
of those you would leave behind!
[20:50] ---
You know, there are people
who care about you!
[20:54] ---
I was a lonely, sickly child
when I was little.
[20:59] ---
Every day I felt like my anxiety and
hopelessness would overwhelm me.
[21:03] ---
Then you came along, Your Grace,
and saved me with your kindness.
[21:09] ---
I have lived to this very day,
and I have you to thank for it.
[21:13] ---
Please grab onto this,
and I'll help you up.
[21:16] ---
Take your time, now.
[21:22] ---
Let's head on back. And...
[21:24] ---
...let's keep on living. Together.
[21:28] ---
Forever.
[21:40] ---
Good heavens, I'm so glad you're safe!
[21:45] ---
Alice rescued me.
[21:48] ---
And I'm sorry I made you worry, Rob.
[21:50] ---
Not at all.
[21:52] ---
So, are the two of you getting along now?
[21:56] ---
Well...
[22:01] ---
...I think...
[22:02] ---
Come again?
[22:04] ---
About Alice...
[22:07] ---
...I like her, I think...
[22:09] ---
Checkmate.
