[00:22] Rachel
    Finally...
[00:31] Rachel
    It's finally over.
[00:33] Headon
    No.
[00:37] Headon
    It's just beginning.
[00:48] Rachel
    I'm sorry, Bam.
[00:57] Rachel
    It's calling me.
[01:00] Rachel
    I'm going to climb the tower.
[01:03] Rachel
    Forget about me.
[01:06] Rachel
    The tower is calling me.
[01:21] Rachel
    This is probably...
[01:24] Rachel
    the peak of my life.
[01:29] Headon
    It's not you.
[01:31] Rachel
    Huh?
[01:32] Headon
    The tower wasn't calling you.
[01:38] Rachel
    But...
[01:40] Rachel
    No, please!
[01:43] Rachel
    Let me in! Please, let me in!
[01:47] Rachel
    Give me a chance!
[01:48] Headon
    A chance?
[01:50] Rachel
    I've dreamed of climbing the tower.
[01:53] Rachel
    Please... Please!
[01:56] Headon
    Then let us test you.
[02:04] Rachel
    A test?
[02:05] Headon
    The rules are simple.
[02:09] Rachel
    He mercilessly hurled despair toward me.
[02:12] Rachel
    Everything was supposed to be
    mine once I climbed the tower.
[02:16] Rachel
    There's no way I can pass this test.
[02:19] Rachel
    How can I take on that monster?
[02:21] Rachel
    I don't even have a weapon. It's unfair!
[02:23] Rachel
    It's cruel to make people
    take tests no one can pass!
[02:26] Headon
    Silence.
[02:29] Headon
    Now watch...
[02:34] Headon
    as your savior is born.
[02:43] Rachel
    Dear God, this is too much to bear.
[02:49] Rachel
    My savior? Bam?
[02:54] Rachel
    But all Bam did was follow me.
[02:57] Rachel
    Why? Why does Bam get everything?
[03:01] Rachel
    He's just Bam.
[03:08] Headon
    I'm interested in seeing what will happen next.
[03:11] Headon
    Not that you'll be there to see it.
[03:18] Headon
    Do you understand now why you weren't chosen?
[03:23] Headon
    Good grief. That was hardly any Shinsu.
[03:26] Headon
    You're too weak.
[03:29] Headon
    The ugliness seeping out from
    inside you makes me cringe.
[03:32] Headon
    You don't have a shred of charm about you.
[03:37] Rachel
    No matter what you say, I want to see the stars.
[03:41] Headon
    No.
[03:42] Headon
    You want to become a star.
[03:46] Headon
    Don't you want to shine
    the brightest? To be special?
[03:55] Rachel
    Please. I'll do anything to climb the tower.
[04:02] Headon
    Anything?
[04:03] Rachel
    Please.
[04:06] Rachel
    Please.
[04:10] Headon
    Then out of respect for
    your bottomless stupidity,
[04:15] Headon
    let us conduct a special test.
[04:19] Rachel
    Special?
[04:24] Headon
    If you can bring his life to a close,
    I will allow you to climb the tower.
[04:30] Rachel
    What?
[04:31] Headon
    You must end Bam's story with your own hands.
[04:37] Rachel
    You mean... you want me to kill Bam?
[04:40] Headon
    Why are you surprised?
[04:43] Headon
    You don't need him anymore.
    You abandoned him.
[04:46] Rachel
    I...
[04:47] Headon
    Only you can decide.
[04:54] Rachel
    Give me a weapon.
[04:55] Rachel
    Bam has an incredible weapon. It's not fair!
[04:59] Headon
    I don't dislike your shallow thinking.
[05:06] Headon
    He is your bodyguard.
[05:09] Headon
    Your gatekeeper to hell.
[05:11] Headon
    Just once, you will be resurrected.
[05:16] Endorsi
    It's okay to kill all of them, right?
[05:19] Rachel
    Yes. Of course.
[05:22] Rachel
    I wished...
[05:25] Rachel
    for someone to kill Bam.
[05:27] Rachel
    Don't worry.
[05:30] Rachel
    We won't steal the crown.
[05:32] Rachel
    After all, I could never kill Bam.
[05:38] Hwaryun
    Observe him?
[05:39] Hansungyu
    Yes, to see if the boy is
    worthy of what we desire.
[05:44] Hansungyu
    She is the bait.
[05:51] Rachel
    This isn't what I was told.
[05:54] Rachel
    I mean, wasn't he supposed to die for me?
[05:58] Bam
    Stop!
[06:04] Rachel
    Why?
[06:06] Rachel
    Why would you save me?
[06:08] Rachel
    Don't. After all...
[06:12] Rachel
    I have to kill Bam.
[06:15] Khun
    You want me to lie to him?
[06:16] Khun
    Tell him you're not Rachel?
[06:18] Rachel
    Yes.
[06:19] Rachel
    I can't let him look at me anymore.
[06:21] Khun
    Even though Bam wants to be with you?
[06:24] Rachel
    We can't be together.
[06:25] Rachel
    Distance myself and wait for an opportunity...
[06:28] Rachel
    At least, that's what I intended.
[06:31] Rachel
    But my body wouldn't listen to me.
[06:34] Rachel
    Time continued to pass.
[06:38] Rachel
    Before I knew it, I was
    terrified of spending points.
[06:45] Rachel
    What if I can't kill Bam?
[06:47] Rachel
    I can't climb the tower with
    the points I have now.
[06:53] Rachel
    Why?
[06:55] Rachel
    He keeps getting everything I want.

    I hope whatever you're seeking at the

[07:09] Rachel
    It's always Bam, Bam, Bam.
[07:13] Rachel
    Who does she think she is?
SIGN    Do you
     want to climb the tower?
[07:20] Rachel
    But can I do it?
[07:24] Rachel
    I can't, can I?
[07:27] Hwaryun
    At this rate, you'll never climb the tower.
[07:29] Hwaryun
    Or have you already given up?
[07:31] Rachel
    Of course not.
[07:33] Hwaryun
    Then make use of everything you can.
[07:36] Rachel
    Huh?
[07:37] Hwaryun
    Go along with the disturbance
    that's about to occur.
[07:40] Hwaryun
    Create a situation
[07:42] Hwaryun
    that will allow you to stick close
    to Bam during the next test.
[07:45] Rachel
    Create? What am I supposed to do?
[07:49] Hwaryun
    When the time comes to choose,
     you'll understand...
[07:53] Hwaryun
    as long as you don't misread the signs.
[07:56] Hoh
    I'd like to talk about you and Bam.
[08:00] Rachel
    "Don't misread the signs."
[08:06] Hoh
    It said that if I got rid of you,
    Bam would also go away.
[08:09] Rachel
    I'm willing to do anything
    to climb the tower.
[08:13] Bam
    Hoh? What are you doing?
[08:16] Hoh
    This is all your fault!
[08:18] Hoh
    It's your fault for showing off your power!
[08:21] Rachel
    Let go!
[08:22] Hoh
    Stop!
[08:24] Rachel
    Did I make the choice?
[08:28] Rachel
    It didn't hurt at all.
[08:30] Rachel
    I have a backup.
[08:32] Bam
    Rachel!
[08:35] Rachel
    Is this right?
[08:36] Rachel
    Creating a situation that
    lets me stick by him?
[08:39] Bam
    Rachel!
[08:40] Rachel
    Is this what that meant?
[08:42] Rachel
    Now I can climb the tower.
[08:45] Rachel
    Now I can...
[08:47] Rachel
    Bam...
[08:48] Bam
    Rachel!
[08:49] Rachel
    Kind-hearted Bam...
[08:52] Bam
    Rachel! Rachel, wake up!
[08:56] Rachel
    Why did you follow me?
[09:02] Rachel
    I told you not to come.
[09:07] Rachel
    After that, it was amusing how much
    everything went according to plan.
[09:11] Bam
    I'll be Rachel's legs and
    take her up the tower.
[09:16] Rachel
    As long as I did what she said...
[09:19] Leroro
    May I offer a prayer, as well?
[09:21] Bam
    Of course.
[09:23] Rachel
    The chance to kill Bam would come.
[09:27] Rachel
    I just had to wait for it.
[09:30] Rachel
    It was that simple.
[09:32] Bam
    Thank you.
[09:34] Bam
    For attending Hoh's funeral.
[09:37] Bam
    It must've been hard.
[09:39] Rachel
    I already made my decision.
[09:40] Rachel
    I'd give up everything to achieve my dreams.
[09:43] Rachel
    That's what I decided.
[09:45] Bam
    Rachel?
[09:50] Bam
    Sorry. I upset you.
[09:53] Bam
    Or does your wound hurt?
[09:53] Rachel
    Run, Bam.
[09:55] Rachel
    I abandoned you.
[09:58] Rachel
    Run.
[09:59] Rachel
    I was desperate to see the stars.
[10:01] Rachel
    Run.
[10:02] Rachel
    Run, run.
[10:04] Rachel
    Run, run, run, run, run!
[10:08] Rachel
    Please.
[10:11] Rachel
    So...
[10:14] Rachel
    You can abandon me, too.
[10:16] Rachel
    Otherwise, I really will...
[10:20] Rachel
    You don't need me anymore.
[10:28] Bam
    A ray of light...
[10:31] Bam
    pierced my dark, lonely world.
[10:37] Bam
    You're the only one who came to see
    me from the other side of the light.
[10:44] Bam
    No one can replace you.
[10:49] Rachel
    I'm sorry.
[10:51] Rachel
    Bam, I'm sorry!
[10:54] Rachel
    I'm not a light.
[10:57] Rachel
    I'm too black and muddy.
[11:00] Rachel
    Your words touched nothing in me.
[11:04] Rachel
    My feelings for the tower
    can't be suppressed.
[11:07] Rachel
    I was so jealous of you, it drove me mad.
[11:10] Rachel
    I hated you.
[11:12] Rachel
    But my heart wavers.
[11:15] Rachel
    They won't overlook this wavering of my heart.
[11:19] (Flashback) Hansungyu
    What do you desire?
[11:22] (Flashback) Hansungyu
    This is your last chance.
[11:23] (Flashback) Hansungyu
    Your last chance to reach
    the top of the tower.
[11:29] (Flashback) Hansungyu
    Rachel, you're a very lucky person.
[11:33] Rachel
    There's nowhere to run now.
[11:36] Rachel
    I have to do it.
[11:38] Bam
    It's okay.
[11:39] Bam
    They're way stronger and smarter than us.
[11:45] Rachel
    You're right.
[11:47] Rachel
    Back then, did you ever imagine this?
[11:51] Bam
    What?
[11:52] Rachel
    Back when we stared at the roof of the cave,
[11:55] Rachel
    did you ever imagine this future would come?
[11:58] Bam
    I did.
[12:00] Rachel
    Huh?
[12:00] Bam
    Even in the future I imagined then,
     I was here with you.
[12:05] Rachel
    Maybe there's a way for me
    to climb the tower with Bam.
[12:12] Rachel
    You're not scared at all.
[12:14] Bam
    Well, if I acted scared,
    wouldn't you feel anxious, too?
[12:23] Bam
    Rachel? What is it?
[12:26] Rachel
    Look at you, trying to act cool.
[12:30] Bam
    This brings back memories.
[12:31] Rachel
    You look at me so intently.
[12:36] Rachel
    You're the only one who
    treats me like I'm special.
[12:39] (Flashback) Headon
    What do you desire from the tower?
[12:43] (Flashback) Headon
    You want to become a star.
[12:46] (Flashback) Headon
    Don't you want to shine
    the brightest? To be special?
[12:50] Bam
    The Administrator asked me what I
    wanted at the top of the tower.
[12:57] Bam
    The first thing that came
    to mind was your face.
[13:01] Bam
    The second thing was the cafeteria.
[13:06] Rachel
    That's when I noticed.
[13:11] Rachel
    You're amazing, Bam.
[13:14] Rachel
    No.
[13:16] Rachel
    I knew the whole time, but was averting my gaze.
[13:21] Rachel
    It was Bam who became a star, not me.
[13:24] Bam
    Rachel, you feel it too, don't you?
[13:27] Rachel
    Huh? Yeah.
[13:31] Bam
    I wonder what this light is.
[13:33] Bam
    It feels like there's power
    welling up inside me.
[13:37] Rachel
    Bam has so many things I don't have.
[13:40] Rachel
    Anything can happen in here.
[13:42] Bam
    Huh?
[13:44] Rachel
    We're inside Shinsu right now.
[13:48] Rachel
    I'll never experience the miracle of Shinsu.
[13:52] Rachel
    Bam is the one who's special.
[13:53] (Flashback) Headon
    It's not you.
[13:56] Rachel
    I'm just something extra.
[13:58] Rachel
    Maybe I'm a shadow cast by a star's light.
[14:00] Bam
    It's okay, Rachel.
[14:02] Rachel
    Huh?
[14:03] Bam
    No matter what happens,
    you don't have to worry anymore.
[14:08] Bam
    I'll take you to the top of the tower.
[14:13] Rachel
    Bam...
[14:13] Rachel
    If I stay with you, I...
[14:16] Bam
    I'm different from the person
    I was back in that cave.
[14:19] Rachel
    I can't become a star.
[14:23] Bam
    I've made friends, and I've
    learned to use Shinsu a little.
[14:29] Bam
    So it's okay. Together we'll climb—
[14:32] Rachel
    I can't climb it with you.
[14:36] Hansungyu
    What do you desire?
[14:39] Rachel
    In place of the strong, kind, and beloved Bam...
[14:46] Bam
    We'll look at the stars together
    at the top of the tower.
[14:51] Rachel
    In your place, I will become a star.
[14:53] Bam
    Rachel?
[14:55] Rachel
    I'm sorry, Bam.
[15:02] Rak
    Hey, woman turtle!
[15:11] Rak
    Where's the black turtle?
[15:14] Rachel
    We were attacked by the Bull.
[15:17] Both
    What?
[15:19] Shibisu
    You're kidding.
[15:20] Endorsi
    What do you mean? Where's Bam?
[15:22] Shibisu
    What happened to Bam?
[15:23] Khun
    Hey!
[15:24] Nare
    Rachel!
[15:26] Hwaryun
    Congratulations.
[15:31] Hwaryun
    Everything went according to plan.
[15:36] Leroro
    We thoroughly examined the area,
    but we couldn't find Bam's body.
[15:43] Leroro
    He must have been eaten by a fish.
[15:47] Leroro
    It's unfortunate.
[15:51] Paracule
    Um, so...
[15:53] Paracule
    What are the results of the test?
[15:56] Endorsi
    You're asking now?
[15:57] Paracule
    Shut up! I'm here to climb the...
[16:03] Paracule
    What's everyone's problem?
[16:05] Shibisu
    Just shut up.
[16:07] Leroro
    The test is over.
[16:09] Leroro
    You all pass.
[16:13] Leroro
    We'll contact you later
    regarding what happens next.
[16:26] Khun
    Damn it!
SIGN    Caffè Latte
[16:37] Leroro
    How much of this did you plan?
[16:41] Leroro
    The fish hunt? Everything?
[16:47] Leroro
    What's so funny?
[16:50] Leroro
    What did you do to Rachel?
[16:53] Hansungyu
    I didn't do anything.
[16:59] Hansungyu
    Rachel made her own decision.
[17:03] Hatz
    Don't we all owe Bam a favor now?
[17:10] Hatz
    Favors must be returned.
[17:12] Endorsi
    But how?
[17:14] Rak
    I know! We'll take the woman
    turtle to the top of the tower!
[17:19] Narae
    The disabled Rachel?
[17:22] Shibisu
    Khun...
[17:25] Khun
    We can't let it end like this.
[17:27] Khun
    Those shitty rules that constrain
    us and make us suffer...
[17:32] Khun
    No, we'll change the whole tower. So...
[17:37] Khun
    Let's climb it.
[17:41] Khun
    With Rachel.
[17:56] Quant
    You quit your job as a test administrator?
[17:58] Leroro
    Yes. They're taking this opportunity
    to bring in new talent.
[18:02] Quant
    What?
[18:03] Leroro
    So you're fired, too.
[18:06] Quant
    You can't be serious! I got
    dragged into your fight!
[18:09] Leroro
    Do you want to come with me?
[18:11] Quant
    Huh?
[18:11] Leroro
    I'm going to climb the tower
    in search of the truth.
[18:14] Quant
    What are you talking about?
[18:19] Quant
    Lero Ro?
[18:22] Hansungyu
    It's fine.
[18:24] Hansungyu
    Everything has gone according to plan.
[18:27] Hansungyu
    All the princesses of
    Jahad believe Bam is dead.
[18:38] Hwaryun
    Stars can shine anywhere.
[18:46] Hansungyu
    Let me offer a prayer for
    those of you who passed.
[18:51] Hansungyu
    I hope whatever you seek lies
    at the end of the difficult path
[18:54] Hansungyu
    you'll travel down.
[18:57] Hansungyu
    I hope you feel that the hand that
    grasps what you desire is beautiful.
[18:58] Khun
    Bam really cared about you.
[19:02] Hansungyu
    I hope you can be proud
    of the path you've walked.
[19:05] Rachel
    I know.
[19:06] Khun
    No, you don't.
[19:06] Hansungyu
    I wish you luck.
[19:07] Rachel
    Huh?
[19:08] Khun
    If you knew, you wouldn't be here.
[19:09] Hansungyu
    I hope you'll still have at
    least one friend by your side.
[19:14] Khun
    I wish I could've met Bam before you did.
[19:20] Rachel
    I see that Bam was loved.
[19:29] Black March
    Even if you are reunited, things will
     never be exactly as they were.
[19:37] Black March
    When you meet her again, she will have
    lived for some time without you.
[19:51] Bam
    Huh?
[19:59] Bam
    What happened? Why am I here?
[20:09] Bam
    Where's Rachel?
[20:12] Hwaryun
    You're still worried about her
    after what she did to you?
[20:20] Bam
    Rachel pushed me?
[20:22] Hwaryun
    You poor man.
[20:25] Hwaryun
    You possess power everyone
    wants desperately.
[20:28] Bam
    I don't care about that.
[20:36] Hwaryun
    Even the savior can become
    the god of this tower.
[20:39] Hwaryun
    You have the key to knowing everything.
[20:43] Bam
    What I want to know is—
[20:46] Hwaryun
    Then climb.
[20:49] Hwaryun
    It's the only way.
[20:51] Hwaryun
    What about the tower drove you and her mad?
[20:55] Hwaryun
    The answers to everything you want
    to know lie at the top of the tower.
[21:01] Hwaryun
    If you seek answers, then I will train you.
[21:06] Bam
    The answers aren't at the top of the tower.
[21:12] Bam
    The answers...
[21:16] Bam
    I'll find them.
[21:19] Bam
    I'll decide them.
[21:23] Bam
    And to do that,
[21:26] Bam
    I'll climb.
[21:32] Hwaryun
    Welcome...
[21:38] Hwaryun
    to the Tower of God.
[21:42] Narration
    What do you desire?
[21:47] Narration
    Climb the tower, and everything will be yours.
[21:51] Narration
    At the top of the tower exists
    everything in this world,
[21:54] Narration
    and all of it can be yours.
[21:56] Narration
    You can become a god.
[21:58] Narration
    This is the story of Rachel,
    the girl who climbed the tower

    and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her.

    and their beginning.
