[00:05] Sitri
    Wow, I'm impressed, Wisteria.
[00:09] Sitri
    You were able to follow the scent
    of my Beckoning Incense Burner.
[00:13] Wis
    Marbas... this presence...
[00:16] Wis
    Is it... Is my brother there with him?
[00:21] Sitri
    He certainly is. Right now,
    he's my marionette...
[00:26] Sitri
    and my contractor.
[00:30] Marbas
    Impossible. It would break the rules.
[00:33] Sitri
    Oh, but it turns out, it's possible.
[00:35] Sitri
    The key for limited release is
    accessed via trust with a contractor...
[00:40] Sitri
    So all I had to do was brainwash someone
    into a suitable contractor to play the part.
[00:45] Marbas
    Inconceivable...
[00:47] Naberius
    And that actually worked?
[00:49] Sitri
    This talk of bonds is so asinine.
[00:52] Sitri
    These "special relationships" you all are
    so fixated on are nothing but a fantasy,
[00:57] Sitri
    and I'll prove it!
[01:17] Wis
    This... it's London.
SIGN    Night Twelve    "Journey through Memories"
[02:52] Diana
    Wisteria? Wisteria!
[02:54] Diana
    What happened to her?!
[02:56] Naberius
    What's going on? She just collapsed.
[02:59] Marbas
    Some power of Sitri's, most likely.
[03:01] Marbas
    He's vanished too, but what is he—
[03:12] Naberius
    This is bad. It looks like
    he's in limited release,
[03:16] Naberius
    and I think the demons possessing the
    contractor are taking the brunt of the strain.
[03:21] Marbas
    I see. It seems he's dead set on
    the boy and I fighting to the death.
[03:28] Wis
    Why am I able to see?
[03:32] Sitri
    Because this world exists in your mind.
[03:35] Sitri
    I took a peek at your memories
[03:38] Sitri
    and this illusory world was
    created from what I saw.
[03:41] Sitri
    It's more or less the same as reality...
[03:44] Sitri
    with one significant exception.
[03:59] Sitri
    Oh, you're back.
[04:02] Sitri
    That's one death. Did it hurt much?
[04:05] Wis
    Wha... What just happened?
[04:08] Children
    Serves her right!
[04:11] Sitri
    Did that clue you in?
[04:13] Sitri
    Everything in this world is hostile to you.
[04:18] Sitri
    And when you die,
    you'll be restarting from here.
[04:21] Sitri
    Time flows differently, too.
[04:24] Sitri
    A day here is only a few seconds in reality.
[04:29] Sitri
    An everlasting hell of a world...
[04:32] Sitri
    I know it might seem a bit unfair of me.
[04:36] Sitri
    There's a rather simple way to escape, though.
[04:38] Sitri
    You just need to choose
    between Marbas and Snow.
[04:43] Sitri
    The one that you don't choose will be
    torn apart by my shadows, mind you.
[04:54] Sitri
    Your little entourage is battling
    Snow right now in reality.
[04:59] Sitri
    If you dawdle for too long,
    someone is bound to die.
[05:03] Sitri
    Granted, if you just want to keep
    your hands clean, that will work too.
[05:08] Wis
    What is it that makes you so hateful?
[05:12] Sitri
    It's like I said.
    Your bonds are just a delusion.
[05:16] Sitri
    It doesn't matter how much
    you cherish others,
[05:18] Sitri
    everyone keeps a hierarchy inside themselves.
[05:21] Sitri
    As time passes and those positions change,
[05:24] Sitri
    even memories will become so much garbage.
[05:27] Sitri
    Nothing lasts forever.
[05:30] Sitri
    All that idealism makes you
    a perfect chance to demonstrate that.
[05:37] Sitri
    Bye now. Have fun with
    the world I've made for you.
[05:56] Wis
    I-Is this how I always looked?
[05:59] Wis
    I almost look like a boy's ideal vision.
[06:04] (Flashback) Snow
    You've got those big eyes
    and long lashes, Wis!
[06:07] (Flashback) Snow
    You're the cutest in the world!
[06:09] (Flashback) Wis
    Don't exaggerate, Brother.
[06:11] (Flashback) Snow
    I'm not! You are the cutest in the world!
[06:16] Wis
    Wait, is this...
[06:18] Wis
    Sitri said he created this
    world from my memories.
[06:22] Wis
    But how would I have known
    what he looked like?
[06:27] Wis
    And there's so much in London
    I've never actually seen.
[06:30] Wis
    So, how?
[06:32] Wis
    Could this place have been created...
[06:34] Wis
    ...from my brother's memories, instead of mine?
[06:46] Wis
    It's him.
[06:52] Wis
    He's somewhere in this world.
[06:55] Wis
    He might not even realize it,
    but he's searching for me.
[07:01] Wis
    This could be my way of finding him!
[07:05] Takenami
    Who are you supposed to be?
[07:07] Takenami
    I never told a demon
    that I was staying here.
[07:11] Takenami
    Not that it matters.
[07:13] Takenami
    Convenient, even.
[07:18] Wis
    I'm back here again...
[07:41] Sitri
    Serves you right!
[07:43] Sitri
    That's what happens when you
    make a pact with a hindrance!
[07:46] Diana
    Stop this, Sitri! What's the point of this?!
[07:50] Sitri
    The point? There is no point.
[07:54] Sitri
    I just happen to hate people like you.
[08:00] Sitri
    So I want you to regret ever meeting
    each other, and then die filled with despair.
[08:07] Sitri
    Speaking of despair,
    let's see how she's doing.
[08:13] Wis
    Excuse me.
[08:15] Farmer
    The bloody hell do you want?!
[08:19] Wis
    Same reaction...
[08:21] Wis
    I'm just looking for my brother.
[08:25] Sitri
    No. It can't be.
[08:28] Sitri
    I only took my eyes off her
    for a few minutes...
[08:31] Sitri
    But she's nowhere near despair.
    She's even grown!
[08:37] Wis
    It's been a while, Sitri. Years, in my case.
[08:42] Wis
    It was a fair bit of effort
    adapting to this world.
[08:45] Wis
    I experienced death so many times.
[08:48] Wis
    I drank from gutters,
    and did things I wasn't proud of.
[08:53] Wis
    But I was able to survive,
    through desperate means.
[08:56] Wis
    For an immortal demon,
    it might've felt like just an instant.
[09:01] Wis
    But to me...
[09:03] Wis
    It was enough time to devise
    a means of beating you.
[09:08] Sitri
    You sound rather confident,
[09:12] Sitri
    but the fight's just about done in reality.
[09:14] Sitri
    Your friends should be...
[09:18] Sitri
    on the verge of defeat.
[09:21] Sitri
    In the end, you just ran
    from making the hard choice.
[09:30] Marbas
    Blackbell! Is Wisteria still unhurt?
[09:33] Diana
    Yes.
[09:35] Marbas
    Then I'm right.
[09:42] Marbas
    It seems Sitri is unable
    to hurt Wisteria directly.
[09:47] Marbas
    Whatever his arrangement with
    the boy, that was a part of it.
[09:51] Marbas
    Which means there must be a way out of this.
[09:54] Naberius
    Sounds to me like you're grasping there.
[09:57] Naberius
    He just wants to torture
    you two and do it his way!
[10:02] Marbas
    That's also true. And yet...
[10:06] Marbas
    That boy would never agree to
    anything that could harm Wisteria.
[10:11] (Flashback) Marbas
    No matter what else happens,
    you had better protect Wis.
[10:13] (Flashback) Marbas
    If she's ever hurt, I'll kill you.
[10:18] Marbas
    He said that to me once.
[10:21] Marbas
    And in the end, he did
    sell himself to a demon.
[10:24] Marbas
    But I'm sure he must have come up with
    some way for his sister to defeat Sitri!
[10:34] Wis
    I'm at the home we used to live in.
[10:47] Wis
    This is the doll he made for me!
[10:51] (Flashback) Snow
    Come on, Wis!
[10:53] (Flashback) Snow
    Are you still hanging on to that old thing?
[10:56] (Flashback) Snow
    It's getting so ragged, it's creepy.
[10:59] (Flashback) Wis
    But you made it for me!
[11:03] (Flashback) Wis
    When I was still inside Mum's tummy.
[11:06] (Flashback) Snow
    That is true, I guess.
[11:08] Wis
    It's been so long...
    So this is what it looked like.
[11:12] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    I've been waiting.
[11:16] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    This is deep inside of my mind.
[11:20] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    The most hidden part of my soul.
[11:25] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    I've waited for so long...
[11:29] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Wisteria.
[11:33] Wis
    Why is a demon speaking
    with my brother's voice?
[11:37] Demon & Snow
    Well, you see...
[11:39] Demon & Snow
    My body is now attached to Snow's soul.
[11:44] Demon & Snow
    Right now I am both: Snow and the demon.
[11:48] Demon & Snow
    Which is why I know everything.
[11:51] Demon & Snow
    About his past... and what's in his heart.
[11:55] Demon & Snow
    And how he's so desperate to
    convince himself he loves you.
[12:01] Demon & Snow
    You traced back his memories
    to make it this far, right?
[12:05] Demon & Snow
    That was the entire point.
[12:07] Demon & Snow
    I wanted you to see the truth...
[12:11] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    About how you have made my life miserable.
[12:16] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    It started with going into servitude,
    in order to feed you and our mother.
[12:22] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Then came heavy labor in a
    harsh environment, far from home.
[12:27] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Abused by the owners, day after day...
[12:31] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    I lived like a slave for so long.
[12:39] (Flashback) Snow
    What's that? A demon?
[12:42] (Flashback) Snow
    Hey, you can have some of my lifespan,
     or whatever you want...
[12:46] (Flashback) Snow
    But let me go home, please.
[12:49] (Flashback) Snow
    I want to see Wis...
[12:52] (Flashback) Snow's Demon
    Very well.
[12:57] (Flashback) Snow
    Serves you right!
[12:59] (Flashback) Snow
    It's all burning down!
    That bastard's whole fortune!
[13:10] (Flashback) Snow
    What the hell?! I'm supposed to
    work with a nut like you?!
[13:16] (Flashback) Takenami
    The Sword Cross Knights
    are short on personnel.
[13:19] (Flashback) Takenami
    If you do a good job and earn our trust...
[13:22] (Flashback) Takenami
    You might even be allowed to
    return home on leave.
[13:25] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    But when I finally made it home...
[13:29] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    You had already been taken away, Wisteria.
[13:35] Wis
    This is what happened to him?
[13:38] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    You see? It was all for you.
[13:42] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Selling myself.
    Joining the Sword Cross Knights.
[13:46] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    And volunteering for the campaign!
[13:52] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    And yet you say you're going to
    live with that red-maned demon?!
[13:59] Wis
    No! This isn't my brother!
[14:03] Wis
    The warmth that made me feel
    I could cry at his side without worry.
[14:07] Wis
    There's no way the tenderness
    he showed me was a lie!
[14:23] Wis
    This must be a message from him.
[14:26] Wis
    Just like the other clues!
    He's trying to show me the way!
[14:30] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Stop it!
[14:32] Wis
    This is some demon that Sitri
    has possessing my brother.
[14:36] Demon (Snow's Voice)
    Stop!
[14:38] Marbas
    Wh-What is this?
[14:39] Wis
    Maybe if I defeat him, I can save Snow!
[14:46] Sitri
    Did Wisteria actually figure it out?
[14:50] Sitri
    But even if she did, she has
    no way of actually killing him.
[14:54] Snow
    The last clue...
[14:57] Snow
    is you, fleabag!
[15:01] Snow
    Help... Wis...
[15:07] Marbas
    You're in there, aren't you, Wisteria?!
[15:11] Marbas
    Call me!
[15:13] Wis
    Yes, Marbas!
[15:15] Sitri
    There's no way! She can't
    bring him into this world.
[15:19] Sitri
    It just can't happen! How could she?
[15:22] Wis
    If this world was truly nothing but suffering,
[15:25] Wis
    I doubt I would've been given my sight back.
[15:29] Wis
    And yet, I'm able to see
    the blue of the sky again...
[15:34] Wis
    Because of my brother's feelings... and me.
[15:38] Wis
    This power of mine! I offer you
    my inner sight as payment!
[15:43] Wis
    So, please, fight at my side, Marbas!
[15:57] Marbas
    Yes.
[15:58] Marbas
    Of course I will, Wisteria.
[16:02] (Flashback) Sitri
    So if the pain becomes too much,
[16:05] (Flashback) Sitri
    and she chooses between
    you and Marbas, I win.
[16:09] (Flashback) Sitri
    But if the exorcism is
    a success, then you win.
[16:12] (Flashback) Sitri
    You're seriously agreeing to those terms?
[16:14] (Flashback) Snow
    I know exactly how hard exorcisms can be...
[16:20] (Flashback) Snow
    But Wis has his help.
[16:24] (Flashback) Snow
    He might be a pain in the ass demon,
[16:27] (Flashback) Snow
    but if my sister chose him...
    then I know I can count on him!
[16:38] Sitri
    I shouldn't have been able to lose.
[16:41] Sitri
    I refuse to accept this!
[16:45] Wis
    Marbas!
[16:52] Marbas
    What is this place?
[16:55] Marbas
    Is that... a city?
[16:58] Sitri
    Hey. Welcome to my memories.
[17:01] Marbas
    We won the bet. What else could you want?
[17:05] Sitri
    Just a chat about our old master.
[17:09] Sitri
    How much do you remember?
[17:12] Marbas
    Hard to say. I recall that
    he was very important to me...
[17:18] Marbas
    But for some reason, that's all I do recall.
[17:20] Sitri
    Then let me show you our past together.
[17:24] Sitri
    He had powers comparable
    to what we wield now.
[17:29] Sitri
    And we were his students.
    He saw potential in us.
[17:34] Sitri
    The authorities at the time gave
    him land, which meant we had a home...
[17:40] Sitri
    But great power breeds fear and hatred.
[17:43] Sitri
    The peace didn't last long,
[17:46] Sitri
    and we, his students, were all killed.
[17:50] Sitri
    He was overcome with hatred,
[17:52] Sitri
    and remade our souls into demons...
[17:56] Sitri
    In the process, he became
    the avatar of his curses.
[18:00] Sitri
    The "three-eyed demon"
    as you've come to call him.
[18:05] Marbas
    The three-eyed demon?
[18:07] Marbas
    The one that gave the armored commander
    his power that flaunts the rules...
[18:10] Sitri
    Right. And the reason I called you here...
[18:14] Sitri
    was to make you regret your
    insipid little friendly games.
[18:18] Sitri
    "This person will protect me."
[18:22] Sitri
    "I could live with this person
    for the rest of my life."
[18:25] Sitri
    That's nothing but being lazy.
[18:27] Sitri
    Think of how that man was like a father
    to us, yet we've all forgotten his face.
[18:34] Sitri
    It's all pointless, don't you see?
[18:38] Sitri
    And yet you're repeating the same mistake.
[18:41] Sitri
    You already lost someone
    that was irreplaceable to you,
[18:44] Sitri
    so why the bloody hell are you
    doing the same thing again?!
[18:50] Sitri
    I'm going to use my illusions
    to drive Wisteria mad, now.
[18:56] Sitri
    Now, let's see you despair! Give in!
[18:59] Sitri
    And regret everything you've done!
[19:10] Sitri
    Wh-Why?!
[19:13] Sitri
    How is this possible?! This is my domain!
[19:15] Marbas
    Wisteria offered her inner vision to me,
[19:19] Marbas
    and in exchange, I can exert my
    strength in your world of illusions!
[19:23] Marbas
    If you intend to hurt her...
[19:26] Marbas
    Then you will die, even if
     it costs me my life.
[19:30] Marbas
    I admit, there may come a day
    when I forget your face as well.
[19:35] Marbas
    Wisteria is likely no exception, either.
[19:40] Marbas
    But even so, Sitri, none of it is pointless.
[19:47] Marbas
    Even if something is invisible,
    and leaves no trace behind,
[19:51] Marbas
    when people meet, it gives rise
    to a feeling between them.
[19:54] Marbas
    Then others who witness that feeling
    feel other things as a result.
[20:00] Marbas
    Those sentiments that weave together,
    and the chain it forms, serve a point all their own.
[20:06] Marbas
    And I learned all of this
    from some of the weakest,
[20:09] Marbas
    smallest beings I have ever known.
[20:17] Sitri
    This is all so tiresome now.
[20:19] Sitri
    I'm going home to sleep.
[20:22] Sitri
    Don't get the wrong idea. I can
    kill you whenever it suits me.
[20:27] Sitri
    But I don't feel like it. Not today.
[20:32] Sitri
    That's right... I always procrastinate
    when it comes to things I dislike.
[20:37] Sitri
    Running from what upsets me,
    until the day I fade away.
[20:42] Sitri
    That's fine though, isn't it?
[20:44] Sitri
    Having more pity for myself
    than anyone else in the world.
[20:51] Sitri
    Bye now, Big Brother.
[21:02] Wis
    Marbas!
[21:04] Marbas
    Wisteria... you look...
[21:10] Wisteria
    Do I seem a bit tougher, now?
[21:14] Marbas
    Well, yes.
[21:15] Marbas
    But... more than that... beautiful.
[21:23] Snow
    Wis, I'm so sorry. It must've been so hard.
[21:28] Wis
    It's okay. I just had to do what you've done.
[21:32] Marbas
    Wisteria.
[21:35] Wis
    Thank you, Marbas.
[21:38] Wis
    I'm... I...
[21:41] Wis
    I love you both so much!
[23:24] Luther
    How in the hell am I alive?
[23:37] Luther
    Dantalion?
