fuwari yoru wo kazoeteru
ふわり夜をかぞえてる
I've been carefully keeping track of the nights,
futari dake no himitsu no jumon
二人だけの秘密の呪文
it's a secret spell we keep between the two of us.
kowaresou na omoi nosete
壊れそうな思いのせて
Gather up all of your thoughts that are on the verge of breaking,
tonaeteku
唱えてく
and chant them out loud.
hora fuan ha itami no naka
ほら 不安は痛みの中
Watch carefully, anxiety lies amidst the pain,
hora shizuka ni tomoru ibuki
ほら 静かに灯る息吹
watch carefully, as our breaths softly change to flame.
#05 「Angel of Hades」
It's so beautiful here...
It truly is...
Hey, I've been meaning to ask you...
What is it?
Why do you only have one knitting needle?
That's because...
It's time for your injections, everyone!
Here you go.
Thank you!
Oh, I wish I could quit this job.
These old people can't do anything for themselves, yet they're always smiling.
It really unnerves me...
You've been working hard; I'll treat you to something delicious!
Sounds wonderful! See you later, then.
What's happening?
No!
We've retrieved the sample.
Everyone, please come this way.
I'll be conducting an investigation into what happened here.
It won't take long.
Safu!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Ann, Betty.
Safu, how's your homework for winter break coming along?
I finished it, of course.
All of it?! That's amazing!
I wonder. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like your report on Botticelli:
"The proportion of tempera used in 'The Birth of Venus' is..."
Hey, Ann!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
You've gone too far this time.
Now, let's have everyone present the poems they wrote about their winter break.
Safu-san.
Yes, sir.
I gaze upon the world.
The sun is shining,
the stars sparkling,
the plants growing,
the animals feeling,
and in humans, a soul resides.
I gaze upon the soul.
The soul listens to the voice of God.
It breathes in its sweet fragrance,
tastes its words,
and lightly touches it with outstretched fingers.
I gaze upon the world, gaze upon the soul,
and realise that the path I walk is illuminated.
Safu!
H-Hey, Safu...
Hi Roy, Ann.
Safu!
Can I ask you to keep this a secret from everyone?
Why?
There's no need to be embarrassed about kissing.
It's a display of our desire to reproduce, as well as a movement based expression of such.
Safu, that's at least one thing that hasn't changed about you since coming to No. 5.
What do you mean?
It means that you've changed in every other way.
Your poem was truly wonderful.
"You have rightly chosen," said God,
"For in my garden of Paradise, this little bird shall sing for evermore,
and in my city of gold, the Happy Prince shall praise me."
The end.
That was great!
Can we come tomorrow, too?
Of course!
Ah, that's right.
We have some leftover soup, so would you like some before you leave?
No, it's fine. Mum said we'd be able to eat dinner tonight!
See you later, Shion! Goodbye!
Bye-bye!
See you, Karan, Rico!
You're still such an idiot...
Me? Why?
Random acts of kindness won't get you anywhere in a place like this.
Then you're an idiot too.
You've been showing them kindness as well.
The sweater that Karan was wearing was the one I gave you four years ago.
When did you give it to her?
You going to work?
You've been going out every day lately.
It's because I have an altruistic room-mate,
who surrounds himself with neighbourhood children simply because one of them has the same name as his mother.
I need to earn enough money to move out before this place becomes a kindergarten.
Rat... would I be able to come with you?
I'd like to see...
No!
Just because you've got used to living here,
it doesn't change the fact that you're a clueless brat...
...from the ignorant and prideful No. 6.
What did you expect? You'll never be able to understand Rat!
He's a beast in human clothing.
I wonder why Rat hates No. 6 so much...
I have no idea.
What does he want to accomplish?
I don't even want to know.
I have no interest in No. 6 anyway.
Though you sure seem to know a lot about it.
Rikiga-san!
Shion! You've been working in a place like this?
You're Rikiga, huh?
I heard you've been making a fortune making use of women.
You're not one to talk.
I heard that you're a smuggler.
You steal scraps of food and clothing from the correctional facility,
and move them directly into West Block's Black Market.
Using those dogs of yours, that is.
The correctional facility?
Seems to be pretty profitable, too.
You're probably making about as much as a low-level janitor now.
Right?
A rat! A rat!
Quick, someone chase it away!
Weren't you a fan of Rat's?
Shut it! I'm not anymore!
That's enough already, just do something about that thing!
Over here, Cravat.
My booze...
What the heck did you come here for, old man?
For information.
I want some information.
What kind?
Depending on what you ask, it'll cost you.
We may as well barter with goods.
To tell you the truth, I've heard some strange news.
An incident? In No. 6?
Yes.
More accurately, I suppose it's more of a strange disease.
Healthy humans who age instantly and die within seconds.
What kinda story is that? Surely it's just a baseless rumour.
One of my girls heard it from a regular at the Sanitation Bureau.
You can at least be assured it's not merely a rumour.
Well?
Have you come across anything like that?
The parasitic wasps...
The parasitic wasps are active.
But why?
It's still winter...
Shion!
Now that you mention it, you were saying something about that when we first met, weren't you?
Tell me everything you know!
There are parasitic wasps that prey on people.
I even knew two of the people who've died from it.
Once infected, the host will age instantly and begin to die.
The wasp hatches from the base of your neck...
There's no way...
I was almost killed by one of them.
This hair, these eyes... this red pattern on my body are all indications of this.
Rat saved me.
If he hadn't been there, I would be...
I have to tell him...
Rat?
Isn't he after No. 6?
If you tell him, he'll only be thrilled!
I have to tell Rat!
Are you that surprised to see a museum?
Geez!
All right, everyone.
Let's queue up in single file.
One at a time, everyone!
Please queue up in single file.
Today is the final performance of "Hamlet".
Just how long are they going to make us wait?
Quickly, quickly!
What's wrong, Shion?
I'm a little afraid...
Afraid?
...of knowing more about Rat.
When I told him I wanted to see him on stage, he got really angry.
I wonder if it means I'll be seeing something I shouldn't.
Get it together!
It was you who said you wanted to tell him about the parasitic wasps as soon as possible.
Man, you're actually the exact opposite of Karan, aren't you?
Long ago, there was a country called England.
This is its national emblem,
or rather, the king's coat of arms.
On each side of the shield, a lion and a unicorn can be seen supporting it.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the unicorn is bound by a chain.
This is because unicorns were known as dangerous animals and...
Crap... it's already begun!
To be, or not to be!
That is the question!
The fair Ophelia,
Are you honest?
Are you fair?
What means your Lordship?
I did love thee once.
Indeed, my Lord, you made me believe so.
You should not have believed me.
I loved you not.
That's Eve.
Huh?
Get thee to a nunnery!
Look, Eve's right there.
Oh, help him, you sweet heavens!
Oh, heavenly powers, restore him!
Rat...?
And I...
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched...
The wind sweeps our souls away,
Humans steal our hearts,
Oh, Earth,
Oh, wind and rain,
Oh, Heaven... Oh, Light...
Hold everything within your embrace...
And begin your life here...
Safu!
Come.
Who is it?
Look this way.
I'll teach you a song...
Stop it.
I'll teach you a song to go on living.
A song of devotion... of calming praise...
Stop...
Help!
Somebody!
Somebody save me!
Shion!
Rat!
Shion...
Are you all right? You recognise me, right?
Somewhat...
Is it all right for you to get up?
Was it you who carried me here?
What's 3+7?
Huh?
Answer me!
3+7 equals...
10.
Okay. What's 3 x 7?
Shion, c'mon...
Answer me already.
21.
Okay, what's...
That's enough!
Why did you come to the theatre?
That place is filled with savages.
People that would eat someone like you alive in one-
You should stay still... if you make quick movements...
Shut up!
Rat, what happened to you back there?
The wind blew...
The wind?
Yes. The wind...
And then...
I heard a song.
A song?
Yes, a song.
And then...
Rat...
Who is Rat, Shion?
Safu-san!
Sensei, sorry to have worried you.
I'm fine now.
I'm so glad.
You will be returning home immediately... to No. 6.
Stay strong, now...
Your grandmother...
Are you sure?
We heard it straight from Rikiga-san.
He described people who suddenly age, then die without a moment's notice.
We can't risk doubting him.
Rat, I was...
At that time, I...
It wasn't a wasp.
My passing out back there wasn't because of a wasp.
Guess I wouldn't mind having the same makeover as you...
Rat!
Nonetheless, those wasps can be active even in winter, huh?
We may even be able to observe No. 6 being eaten alive before the advent of The Holy Day.
Let's have an early celebration!
You should be resting...
I'll teach you to dance.
Have any experience?
Of course not.
Thought so.
Here, straighten your spine.
Raise your chin.
Don't look downward.
1, 2, 3.
Rat!
Wait a sec...
There's no way I can learn to dance!
We're going to damage the books!
Don't move so clumsily.
Hey, you're doing just fine.
I'm just being pulled along by your lead.
Even so, you're pretty impressive.
Your movements are light.
I can hardly breathe...
Dance really works your whole body.
You didn't know?
Well, your strength and ability are far above mine...
Are you trying to prove to me that I shouldn't worry about you?
More or less.
I kept thinking that one of those things might pop out... from right here.
When I saw you collapse, I...
I thought you might die.
You might not understand it...
But I was absolutely terrified.
Rat...
There are too many things that I don't understand.
But one thing I do understand...
...is just how afraid I am of losing you.
That alone I know for a fact.
More than anyone, I'm afraid of losing you.
No matter how much you laugh, or belittle me,
that's how I truly feel.
Who the hell is this guy?
I couldn't avoid his attack...
I left one of my vital points wide open...
He caught me so easily...
Was I the one who didn't understand anything?
Shion, just who are you?
kizutsuita toki ha
傷ついたときは
When I'm hurt,
sotto tsutsumikondekuretara ureshii
そっと包みこんでくれたらうれしい
just hold me gently in your arms.
koronde tatenai toki ha
転んで立てないときは
And if I've fallen and I can't get up,
sukoshi no yuuki wo kudasai
少しの勇気をください
give me a bit of your courage.
omoi ha zutto todokanai mama
思いはずっと届かないまま
My thoughts are never heard,
kyou mo tsumetai machi de hitori
今日も冷たい街でひとり
even today, as I wander alone through this cold city.
koko ga dokokamo omoidasenai
ココが何処かも思い出せない
I don't even remember where this place is.
owaranai yoru ni negai ha hitotsu
終わらない夜に願いはひとつ
In the endless night, I have but one wish,
"hoshi no nai sora ni kagayaku hikari wo"
"星のない空に輝く光を"
"That shining light in the starless sky."
modorenai basho ni suteta mono de sae
戻れない場所に捨てたものでさえ
Even the things we've left behind in places we can never return,
umarekawatte ashita wo kitto terashitekureru
生まれ変わって明日をきっと照らしてくれる
will be reborn and illuminate our tomorrow.
She's cold... Why is she so cold?
Whether you're a dog or a human, you die and start stinking.
No matter how much you struggle or cling to life, you'll eventually die.
I wonder if my grandmother really was happy?
But he lived a splendid life.
You give up too easily.
Do you not want to live?
I'll keep on living!
Even if I can never return, I won't regret it!
「Creeping Danger」
No matter what happens, even if I'm killed, I'll be by your side.
