So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?
They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?
It's all to make us shine, I just know it...
I love you, I love you,
I gaze at you with my heart...
I believe in you, I believe in you,
even on the coldest of nights.
I call out to you with my tears,
but I don't need any promises...
That's the precious strength you've given to me...
What? This girl's the one?
Eriya. Let's head back.
Got it.
Hitomi!
Let Hitomi go!
Stay back!
What a stubborn boy.
What?
Hitomi!
Van!
What happened?
There's something wrong with the Luck Intensifier!
What?
Van!
Eriya! Catch him!
Good idea! That'll make Lord Folken happy!
Allen!
Sister! I can't breathe!
W-Why is this happening?
Naria, Eriya, that's enough. Withdraw.
Lord Folken... We're sorry.
What?
Sister!
Return to Lord Folken! Even if I can't!
Sister!
Keep it up, you bums!
So I really was lucky after all?
It's my fault...
No it's not.
They would've attacked even if we had followed your prediction...
...and called off the wedding.
Anyway, I don't believe in fortune-telling.
Dryden...
Hitomi... It was because I asked you to tell me my fortune, wasn't it?
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I made you suffer.
Will you forgive me?
Why did you order them to withdraw, Folken?
Why did you disobey me?
Your pardon, Majesty, but had they remained,
their lives would have been in jeopardy.
What must be must be.
It is for our ideal future.
Lord Folken...
I'm sorry, Eriya. I...
I don't mind, Lord Folken.
I'm worried about Naria.
It's all right. Naria is safe.
I know.
It would seem that they know about Hitomi's abilities.
They'll probably attack again.
But they're protected by luck, if that's what you want to call it.
I couldn't even get close to them.
There's a way.
We kill the man pulling the strings of the Intensified Luck Soldiers.
The man who betrayed Fanelia. The man who serves Dornkirk.
Who?
Zaibach's Strategos. Folken Lacour de Fanel.
Fanel?
My brother.
Oh, man...
The lace broke...
What's this?
Huh?
Isn't this Hitomi's?
Where'd she go?
Hurry! They've left the castle!
Stay here, Merle. I'll use Escaflowne to look for Hitomi.
Lord Van!
Don't resist.
Hitomi...
Mother! Wake up!
Don't leave me alone! Mother!
Why? Why does everyone important to me have to...
If I hear a peep out of you, you're dead.
They asked for it.
Yeah, they tried to interfere with our hunt.
So we shouldn't hurt the forest, huh?
Pretty damn uppity for a couple of beast-men.
Father...
Mother...
Don't cry, Belubelu. I'm with you.
Found 'em.
A set of gold and silver twins...
Talk about rare... They'll be worth a fortune!
That's...
So that's what happened.
Why are you doing this?
For Van's brother, Folken?
To repay him for saving you?
Shut up!
It doesn't make sense! It's wrong!
D-Don't even think about escaping...
I'm ... taking you back to Lord Folken...
What's your name?
Come on, come back with me.
You shouldn't try to move, not in the shape you're in.
I'll talk to Allen and the others.
I'm sure they'll understand.
I know you're not a bad person.
Are you telling me to surrender?
To believe what you're saying?
But...
The only person I trust is Lord Folken.
She... She's in love with Folken!
The harbor?
The girl's image is about to appear.
Dispatch the Intensifiied Luck Soldier at once!
She has yet to completely recover.
There is nothing to fear. The device is functioning normally.
But...
Lord Folken...
Don't worry about me.
Please, let me go!
Eriya?
Hitomi, where are you?
One of those Intensified Luck Soldiers!
I was positive they'd use this harbor to try to escape.
Gaddes, prep the Crusade.
Yessir.
Look!
Dragon! I don't have time to fight you now!
Come back here!
What the--?!
More of that damn luck of theirs?!
It's no use! I can't come anywhere near it now!
All right, then...
Where are you, Folken?!
There!
Don't go back to Folken!
Please, use this ship to go someplace far away!
Changing your body with some strange machine and being hurt because of it...
Even if it's for someone you love, it's just not right!
Shut up.
It's wrong! Wrong!
Why? Why doesn't she understand?
The uneasy feelings lurking in your heart are calling forth a sad reality.
Uneasy feelings?
Trust your feelings.
Your wishes will always come true.
Trust my feelings...
Aren't you afraid?
Afraid of what's going to happen to you?
Yes, but...
Why? Why don't you run away?
You could've escaped if you wanted to.
But you didn't. Not then, and not now.
Because I believe in you.
I trust my feelings. They tell me you're not a bad person.
Sister!
Eriya!
Serving Lord Folken is all I need to be happy!
Why?
Dragon approaching!
How did he spot us?
Folken!
Folken! Where are you?!
Show yourself!.
Lord Folken!
Van!
Sister! Hurry!
I thought you'd understand!
Are you all right?!
W-Why don't you just leave me alone, you weird girl...
"Hitomi"? It has a nice ring to it.
Naria.
It's the name I was given by Lord Folken.
Naria...
Sister!
You'd just get in the way if we took you with us.
Hurry, Eriya! Take us back to Lord Folken!
Naria...
Hitomi!
Hitomi! Are you all right?!
Folken! Show yourself!.
Van.
Brother!
Why don't you understand, Van?
The creation of our new world is almost at hand.
This is the final battle.
Why don't you understand that, Van?
Leave him to us, Lord Folken!
Naria!
The Intensified Luck Soldiers!
What's the matter with you?!
Lord Folken cares about you!
Why can't you see how much he cares for you?!
What are you saying?
Eriya...
I won't let anyone make Lord Folken sad! No one!
Lord Folken!
The floating fortress...
Van... Naria...
Lord Folken... Please, get away from here...
Don't worry about us.
We're glad we met you, Lord Folken...
We're happy to die with you watching over us.
Goodbye, Lord Folken.
There was a reaction?
A reaction of misfortune to the artificially enhanced good fortune?
But this experiment was successful beyond all my expectations.
I have the answer! The answer that has forever eluded man!
Our fate equations are now...
You're wrong!
What?
Brother?
Blue searchlights meet beyond the Moon...
Yeah, my angel who came flying down, who are you?
The doors of destiny are opening before us,
so let's just fall in love.
I can't break free of this moment that's making my heart flutter...
Don't stop, baby!
Your mystic eyes are setting' me on fire,
your innocent smile breakin'me down...
You're the only one with that look in your eye.
An endless journey is beginning...
...with this unstoppable pounding in my heart,
and I wanna swoop down and take you with me!
