Fureta yubi sameta KIZUNA ni
My fingers touched the cool bond
Kuzure yuku kokoro no sukima
In the crevice of my crumbling heart
Samayou KARADA wow...
My body wanders whoa...
KATACHI naku yami e to kieru
Disappearing into the shapeless darkness
Iro aseta omoi wa tooku
My faded thoughts are distant
Sagasu no wa jinki rao
What I search for is a mirage
"Mirai o tooku ni kazashiteru..."
"I'm holding the future far away overhead..."
Kirameita sekai tooi kiwaku wa
In a world that sparkled, my distant memory
Miageta sora yume o yobi okosu
Is calling my dreams to mind in the sky that I looked up at
Hateshinai yaro ni deau keshiki wa
In the scenery of us meeting on a ceaseless night
Sugita hibi no kotae mo miezu
I can't even see the end of the days that we spent
Konna ni mo tooku hanareteite mo
Even if we're separated so far apart
Terasu hikari KIMI ni tadori tsuku
The illuminating light makes its way to you
Kiseki wa kanau hazu
The miracle should come true
Meilin!
Die!
[The Reluctant Host]
Meilin...
Why would an Akuma want to take her?
It would seem that the Akuma's target is the crystal ball.
Bookman?
Meilin's grandfather?
Crystal ball?
Yes.
It's likely that her crystal ball is an Innocence fragment.
I'll explain in detail later.
We must hurry. Her life may be in danger.
Please, save my Meilin!
We will.
Extend!
Here we go!
Right!
Take this!
There's a bunch of Akuma at the lake!
Hurry!
Where am I?
You should be able to tell.
That's...
No..
Remember now?
It's the crystal ball that you threw into the lake.
And...
We believe it is the material we've been searching for, the Innocence.
Innocence?
Perhaps the crystal ball is the Innocence.
Seems you've heard of it.
I haven't!
It doesn't matter if you admit it or not.
We'll know when we drop you in the lake.
None of us can get past that whirlpool.
If you are indeed its host...
No!
Let me go!
Meilin had considerable talent as a fortune teller since birth.
When she touched the crystal ball, a family heirloom,
she was able to tell of future events
as though she'd already seen them.
All her predictions came true.
The townsfolk were overjoyed when her visions came to pass.
Happy to be so adored,
Meilin continued to read people's fortunes, and immersed her self in the future.
One month ago, though, she suddenly screamed out.
She was so afraid of the crystal ball that she refused to go near it.
My questions about what she saw fell upon deaf, trembling ears.
So great was her fear of the ball that I worried for her sanity.
That is why I threw it into the lake.
It is just an ordinary crystal ball. It cannot have caused the lake to recede.
They're unrelated.
It might not be an ordinary crystal ball.
If it is indeed an Innocence fragment, your granddaughter...
Kro!
Pay attention!
What?
Oh crap!
That was a close call.
You okay?
Yeah...
What's that?
There's another one!
It's carrying someone.
What?
No! No!
A girl. What's it want with her?
Found you!
You're a lucky bunch, you know.
Is that so?
I don't know what you're planning, but...
It stops here.
Ooh, what're you gonna do?
What do you think?
Fight the Akuma.
And destroy them.
There they are!
Meilin!
Lenalee!
Meilin!
You're too late.
Meilin!
What the...
No!
It's so bright!
What's up with that?
Meilin!
Innocence, activate!
Lenalee!
Meilin! Are you all right, Meilin?
That shining ball...
It's sucking up all the water.
What's that?
That's my crystal ball.
The one I threw into the lake.
Meilin, that's not just a crystal ball.
It's an Innocence fragment,
and you are its host.
Host?
Innocence.
It is a mysterious substance which causes supernatural phenomena all around it.
In addition, it is the only means by which the human race
can stand against the Millennium Earl and his Akuma,
who endeavour to destroy this world.
It is humanity's last hope.
To the Akuma, though, it is a hateful substance.
Each Innocence fragment can be controlled only by a single human, known as its host.
We are the only ones capable of fighting the Akuma.
We are known as...
exorcists.
Exorcists...
That's the Innocence, then?
Innocence...
Yes.
We believe that you are the Innocence's host, Meilin.
You are one of us.
A host... Exorcists...
Its getting bigger and bigger.
Now's my chance!
That dumbass!
What's it...
All right, now for the direct approach!
No! No!
Meilin...
Allen! Lenalee!
You're all right!
What happened?
Well...
No! No!
Never again!
Meilin...
I never want to touch it again!
A month ago, the ball showed me a terrible future.
It was dark and filled with death.
I just wanted to tell people's fortunes.
I only wanted to do something nice for them all.
Why? Why?
All right. That's enough.
What does this mean?
What did she see?
I believe it was her own future.
Why is that so frightening?
She's an Innocence host.
What she saw was her future as an exorcist.
We all know our paths are dark and stained with blood,
but being unable to see to its end is what keeps us sane.
But she...
Meilin...
You can get home by yourself from here, right?
Lenalee?
I'm sorry.
Just think about your grandfather and your friends in the town.
Don't worry about the Innocence or the future.
Meilin, I'm glad to have met you.
Wait!
Meilin?
Lenalee, I...
What is...
Just what is going on?
I think the Innocence is going berserk.
Berserk?
Yes.
Your Innocence has the power to see the future.
I believe it links the future to the present just for an instant.
Without its host to control it,
perhaps this link has become larger than it's capable of with standing.
At any rate, we have to stop it, or this situation could get ugly.
Lenalee...
Meilin, there's something I need to ask you.
What is it?
It's possible that even greater pain awaits you,
worse even than what you've already seen.
Do you still wish to continue, Meilin?
I do!
Very well. We're all with you.
All right, then!
Let's do it!
Let us indeed.
Let's finish this.
I can't even see where it is!
Extend!
Lenalee!
We're counting on you!
You all right?
I am.
Hold on tight.
Okay.
Innocence, activate.
Still okay?
I'm fine.
Just a little longer.
Right.
Innocence, activate level two!
I'm sorry I didn't understand you...
You were in just as much pain as I was.
I think we can finally understand one another.
Lenalee!
Did it work?
You bet it did!
What's wrong?
Lenalee, can I really be an exorcist?
Meilin...
Are you really so afraid of the future?
Yeah, I am, but...
I haven't seen everything it holds.
There may be some hope there.
At least...
if you stay with me, Lenalee.
Thank you, Meilin.
I've got you now!
All right!
Water...
They must have calmed the Innocence.
That must mean she chose...
I just hope it was the right choice.
No one can tell what the future holds.
True enough.
Either way, she's made her choice.
At least we got out alive...
That was simply awful.
Look at that!
You're all useless!
Get out of here.
What shall we do, Madame Lulu Bell?
Our mission is over.
But they've found another Innocence host.
What shall we do?
Make a report to our master.
Yume wo mita
I had a dream,
Kowai yume wo
a terrible nightmare.
Toozakaru senaka ni koboreta
So I tried to embrace your now absent back,
Aru hazu no sono ondo wo
seeking the comfort it offered
Mou ichido datte sagashiteta
just one more time.
Dakara soba ni ite
Stay by my side
Zutto da to itte
forever and ever,
Akuma no koe wo kakikesu made
to banish these howling visions.
Ushinawanu you ni
I don't want to lose you.
Sotto tashikameru
I make sure that you're there.
Taisetsu na kioku wa
Though I might one day
Ayamachi ni mawattemo
consider this moment a mistake,
Nee, kaze ga
the wind in your hair
Utsukushii dake
is so very beautiful.
