[01:52] Touko
    But what is a fallbeast doing here?
[01:58] Touko
    Oh. Maybe it's because
    so much skyfire burned here.
[02:04] Touko
    It came to see what was happening.
[02:16] Koushi
    What's going on?
[02:18] Akira
    I can't help her anymore.
[02:23] Akira
    But fallbeasts live in the mountains.
    Why would one appear in the capital now?
[02:29] Koushi
    Why isn't the fallbeast moving?
[02:33] Akira
    It's almost like...
[02:36] Akira
    it's waiting for Touko to hunt it.
[02:42] Koushi
    My father mentioned that.
[02:44] Koushi
    Fallbeasts grow docile in front of fire
    hunters, like they're asking to be hunted.
[02:50] Akira
    Yeah. In front of true fire hunters.
[02:56] Akira
    I get it now. This fallbeast must have
    come to put an end to everything itself.
[03:04] Akira
    Everything.
[03:11] Koushi
    Temari!
[03:16] Akira
    No fire hunter's hound would
    ever turn its back on a fallbeast.
[03:21] Akira
    They're trained, maybe even
     destined, to act that way.
[03:29] Koushi
    Mizore!
[04:24] Koushi
    Touko.
[04:27] Akira
    Touko.
[04:34] Hibari
    I knew it. She...
[04:43] FF/Kira
    Will you hunt me?
[04:48] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame.
[04:51] FF/Kira
    Will you hunt me now? With that sickle?
[04:55] Hibari
    Sister!
[04:57] Akira
    Not now.
[04:59] Akira
    I can't hunt you unless
    you leave that girl's body.
[05:05] FF/Kira
    I can't leave on my own.
[05:09] FF/Kira
    But if you hunt this, that will be the end.
[05:17] Koushi
    Kira.
[05:18] Koushi
    Kira, is that you?
[05:21] FF/Kira
    I was a fool.
[05:23] FF/Kira
    This country under divine rule
    survived even after the world fell apart.
[05:31] FF/Kira
    I believed it was a good place.
[05:35] FF/Kira
    But I was wrong.
[05:38] FF/Kira
    There's... There's an enormous flame here.
[05:43] FF/Kira
    Somehow, I know how to use it, too.
[05:49] FF/Kira
    Because there's someone else inside me.
[05:52] FF/Kira
    This flame belongs to her.
[05:59] FF/Kira
    She longs to be free,
    but no one wants her to be.
[06:06] FF/Kira
    Not even she knows what choice
    will avoid a second devastation.
[06:16] FF/Kira
    If nothing changes, I'll end up using
     this flame to bring it all to an end.
[06:24] FF/Kira
    Even though I know it's wrong
     to think such things.
[06:30] FF/Kira
    To wish that everyone...
    that everyone would just disappear.
[06:44] Hibari
    It's Touko, isn't it?
[06:46] Hibari
    Follow me. Tayurahime summons you.
[06:50] Akira
    Wait a minute.
    Yuoshichi grabbed the Lady Goddess and...
[06:54] Hibari
    That was a substitute.
    A mere pitiable shadow.
[07:00] Hibari
    The Lady Goddess resides
    within the palace shrine.
[07:04] Koushi
    Then, Yuoshichi...
[07:06] Hibari
    Yes. He died without achieving
     any of his ambitions.
[07:59] Grandmother
    Touko.
[08:01] Grandmother
    Are you all ready to go to the capital?
[08:08] Akari
    Grandmother asked you
     a question. Speak up.
[08:14] Akari
    And explain why that dog's here.
[08:17] Touko
    Huh?
[08:19] Rin
    You'd better not have brought
    a hunting hound home again.
[08:29] Touko
    Temari?
[08:44] Touko
    Temari.
[08:47] Touko
    Kanata?
[08:52] Touko
    What about Mizore?
[08:54] Hibari
    That hound went to join its fire hunter.
[08:59] Hibari
    Or so a human might put it.
[09:04] Touko
    Mr. Hibari?
[09:09] Hibari
    That sickle looks newly made.
[09:13] Hibari
    Like Tokohanahime only just forged it.
[09:23] Touko
    What about Mr. Koushi and Ms. Akira?
[09:27] Touko
    Where are Hinako and Kun?
[09:31] Hibari
    You have more important
    things to worry about.
[09:41] Hibari
    Rest easy. No doubt Ruri-Matsuri
    did something for them.
[10:06] Touko
    Are they alive?
[10:09] Hibari
    Alive and dreaming.
[10:11] Touko
    Dreaming?
[10:13] Hibari
    They dream of slitting open their bellies
     and planting bits of nature inside.
[10:18] Hibari
    Of becoming trees and water and stones.
[10:21] Hibari
    They dream of becoming part of this planet.
[10:28] Hibari
    No one here has a spine.
[10:31] Hibari
    They couldn't stop the old world's ruin,
[10:35] Hibari
    and they failed to revitalize it.
[10:39] Hibari
    Many such gods chose to dwell in
    dreams of the old world they yearn for.
[10:49] Hibari
    While they gorge themselves
    on peace and dreams here,
[10:54] Hibari
    Tayurahime focuses the divine clans' power.
[10:58] Hibari
    Even now, she serves as
    the pillar propping up this world.
[11:04] Touko
    Tayurahime?
[11:07] Hibari
    Tayurahime is the elder sister
    of the Flickering Flame.
[11:14] Hibari
    Tayurahime desires words
    to console the Flickering Flame,
[11:19] Hibari
    and as such, she wishes to
    learn more about the outside world.
[11:26] Touko
    What does that have to do with me?
[11:29] Hibari
    She says that she wishes to question you.
[11:34] Hibari
    Tayurahime knows you well
    through the Flickering Flame.
[11:40] Hibari
    You have been chosen.
[12:12] Kun
    Lady!
[12:13] Koushi
    Touko!
[12:23] Kiri
    So you hunted a fallbeast.
[12:27] Kiri
    You're a full-fledged fire hunter now.
[12:31] Touko
    Ms. Kiri!
[12:35] Touko
    You're alive, too.
[12:38] Kiri
    Yeah. That goddess,
    Ruri-Matsuri, brought me here.
[12:45] Kiri
    She even patched up my wounds.
[12:48] Akira
    That god called Hibari decided
    to heal me once before, too.
[12:55] Akira
    One moment, they seem all-powerful,
    then blood makes them recoil in fear the next.
[13:01] Akira
    Are they strong or weak?
     I can't tell anymore.
[13:05] Koushi
    True.
[13:08] Touko
    And Hinako?
[13:10] Kun
    She's sleeping.
[13:12] Akira
    Touko just hunted her fourth fiend.
    A fallbeast this time.
[13:17] Akira
    And she used all three hounds to do it:
    Kanata, Temari, and Mizore.
[13:24] Touko
    What is this?
[13:27] Kiri
    A failed experiment from the past,
    when the gods implanted fire.
[13:33] Kiri
    They've been hiding it here.
[13:37] Touko
    An experiment?
[13:48] Touko
    What do you mean, they "implanted" fire?
[13:51] Koushi
    One of the treefolk, Yanagi, told us about it
    when we visited the forbidden quarter.
[13:56] Touko
    Oh.
[13:57] Touko
    She said the beasts
    held fire in their bodies
[14:02] Touko
    so that it would never
    come near the gods again.
[14:05] Koushi
    Yes. And so, the flame fiends were born.
[14:11] Touko
    They failed back then and...
[14:15] Kiri
    It's just like how they locked failed treefolk
    like Yanagi, Kunugi, and me underground.
[14:34] Koushi
    Did the goddess who brought us her,
    Ruri-Matsuri, want to show us this?
[14:43] Kiri
    I bet she's enjoying your reactions.
[14:50] Touko
    These tubes look different.
[14:53] Koushi
    Touko, don't touch them.
[14:58] Akira
    What is it? What's in there?
[15:07] Koushi
    A human.
[15:09] Akira
    A human?
[15:17] Akira
    You're right. They're all human babies.
[15:20] Akira
    But what does this mean?
[15:23] Touko
    Did they try to put fire inside humans, too?
[15:28] Kiri
    They're failed treefolk.
[15:31] Koushi
    No, that's not it.
[15:37] Koushi
    They look like they're meant
     to become something.
[15:42] Akira
    Become something?
[15:47] Akira
    You mean, like...
[15:54] Akira
    ...gods?
[15:57] Kiri
    Enough of this crazy talk, mole.
[16:00] Kiri
    What would baby gods be doing
    stashed away with these prototype fiends?
[16:10] Kun
    My dad told me the divine clans
    aren't really what they look like.
[16:16] Kun
    They're not real, so why should they act
    like gods and boss humans around?
[16:29] Koushi
    The divine clans are hiding something huge.
[16:34] Koushi
    Maybe the entities we call "gods"
    are made by altering humans.
[16:40] Koushi
    They could be artificial beings
    that humans created.
[16:45] Koushi
    Like the treefolk and
    the people the Water Clan injected.
[16:52] Koushi
    I'm certain the divine clans can't be
    a completely different species from us.
[16:58] Koushi
    That's...
[16:59] Koushi
    That's why the pathogen that causes
    human combustion affects them, too.
[17:08] Koushi
    The legend of Tokohanahime is true.
[17:10] Koushi
    She forged the hunters' sickles
    while she herself burned.
[17:18] Kiri
    Seriously, humans, spiders,
    and gods are all birds of a feather.
[17:28] Kiri
    That goddess, Ruri-Matsuri, might've gotten
     fed up with what they've been doing.
[17:35] Kiri
    But it's a little late for regrets.
[17:39] Koushi
    Akira?
[17:41] Touko
    Akira?
[17:43] Koushi
    Kiri, where's Akira?
[17:45] Kiri
    The fire hunter left.
[17:49] Touko
    Ms. Akira went off all alone?
[17:52] Koushi
    Why didn't you say something?
[17:54] Kiri
    Why do I have to
    tell you every little thing?
[17:59] Kiri
    Though I don't mind giving you advice.
[18:03] Kiri
    Why don't you go chasing after her?
[18:12] Kiri
    You came all this way
    but you're leaving the rest to her?
[18:16] Kiri
    That hardheaded hunter
    doesn't care if she dies.
[18:21] Kiri
    Just like the Flickering Flame.
[18:24] Kiri
    I'll keep an eye on
    the kid and the sick girl.
[18:28] Kiri
    You've got business with the
    Lady Goddess and the vessel girl, right?
[18:34] Kiri
    How long are you going
     to drag your feet for, mole?
[18:37] Kiri
    You're using your brain
    for all the wrong things.
[18:41] Touko
    But where...
[18:43] Koushi
    See those pipes with the glowing fish?
[18:46] Koushi
    Akira reckoned she could follow them
    to the real palace where Tayurahime is.
[19:07] Koushi
    Kiri's right. I need to go.
[19:09] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame...
    Kira must be near the Lady Goddess.
[19:16] Koushi
    Touko, come on.
[19:22] Touko
    Right.
[19:50] Kun
    That guy and the small lady left.
[19:54] Kiri
    Without saying a word
    to you or that sick girl.
[20:00] Kiri
    Those moles plan on coming
    back here, no matter what.
[20:06] Kun
    In that case...
[20:08] Kun
    I've gotta keep us safe until they do.
[20:14] Hinako
    Kanata...
[20:18] Kun
    After all, she's family.
[20:49] Kiri
    How will this world end?
    And what kind of world will follow it?
[20:55] Kiri
    You'll never get another chance to see.
[20:58] Kiri
    Me and the others from the forbidden
    quarter never got to witness anything.
[21:04] Kiri
    But you still have a chance.
[21:10] Koushi
    You know that goddess, Ruri-Matsuri?
[21:14] Koushi
    I wonder if she wants to see...
[21:17] Koushi
    what humans who know the truth will do.
[21:28] Koushi
    I see now. The divine clans can't
    sustain themselves without humans.
[21:35] Koushi
    They aren't ruling to preserve the world.
[21:41] Koushi
    It's all to ensure their own survival.
[21:47] Koushi
    Those fish—or what look
    like fish—are organic machines.
[21:54] Koushi
    After factories use fiendfire, they carry
    the purified residue to the palace basement.
[22:01] Koushi
    Burning that purified fire lets the
    Lady Goddess exceed her natural lifespan.
[22:09] Koushi
    The factory district
    really exists to purify fiendfire.
