Two days after the Sky Clan's bombardment,
a memorial and funeral service was held.
All I could do was hide my feelings,
and sit there as Nina Viento.
We will now return the souls of these brave warriors to Saint Aldista.
Mirge Almodovar.
Fernando Segarra.
Cecilio Mendizabal.
Fausto Fidel Melze.
Mitsuo Fukuhara.
Each time they called a name I knew,
a scream almost burst forth from my broken heart.
Wolfgang Baumann.
I shouldn't be allowed to fly with everyone.
So I won't. Not ever again.

I had nowhere to run
Gazing out from my window
Was all I could handle
I never had the faintest inkling
Of what you were trying to tell me back then
As we lived our lives in a world
Clouded over in despair
The winds of change started blowing
I felt like I could fly anywhere with you
Grasping at the newfound freedom I had
I was still living in a world where ignorance was bliss
Under an all too immature
Azure sky
Episode 9
Your Name
The brave children of Saint Aldista, who protected Isla, lie here.
Boss...
Ari...
Is it okay for you to be out of the hospital?
Yeah, this is more important.
Chiharu...
If only I'd run away when I should've, Mitty would still be...
That's not true...
Don't put the blame on yourself, Chiharu.
Mitty died because I screwed up...
Stop it.
It's not your fault.
You'll make everyone sad if you keep blaming yourself.
But...
After the battle ended,
the commander of the torpedo planes came to see me.
And he said I should tell you something once you were better.
"A medal is the only way the military can give its thanks.
But that medal embodies the gratitude of everyone on Isla, including the torpedo squad.
Thank you. That flare saved us all.
Your partner was a wonderful pilot."
The Diet is waiting.
Excuse me.
We're busy.
You can wait.
Come in.
The flight school students were there, so I couldn't leave it.
I'm sorry about your son.
My condolences.
My son was a pilot.
He would've wanted to die in the sky.
Let us begin with the meeting.
Admiral Luis, what are your thoughts on the battle, and what should we do now?
It's likely that the Sky Clan predicted where we'd be, and attacked us.
If we continue down this path, more arduous battles still will come to us.
Right now, we cannot defeat them.
We should consider the message left by the Holy Levamme Empire.
There's a possibility that we can go against the Sky Clan if we join forces.
You're right.
Our only option may be to rendezvous with them, and fight together.
But we know nothing of them.
Can they be trusted?
Levamme claims they are fighting the Sky Clan.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
A trite phrase, but valid enough for a short-term relationship.
In any case, we should change our heading
to avoid further ambushes, and leave the Holy Spring as soon as possible.
Claire...
Kal-el...
Claire!
Let me go!
I won't!
Please...
Look at me, Claire.
I'm so glad you're all right.
I'm quitting flight school.
I have no right being your classmate.
No one blames you for not going out to fight.
No, that isn't it.
I've been lying to everyone...
I'm sorry.
But you don't have to forgive me.
Claire...
I'm a coward.
Claire, what's gotten into you?
We shouldn't see each other anymore.
You really think that?
I've wanted to see you for so long!
So much!
Kal-el...
I love you.
I don't want to let you go.
I want to be with you forever.
Why do you look so sad?
Claire?
Have we ever met before?
During the Wind Revolution...
There's something I need to know.
Are you...
What?
Are you Karl La Hire?
How did you know?
I thought you might be.
I...
Claire...
I love you, so I'll never see you again.
Forget about me.
It's fine, Claire.
Y-You're...
You...
You're Nina Viento!
Yes.
I am Nina Viento.
Good-bye.
Serenading a Certain Pilot
Are you not feeling well?
No, I'm fine.
I know this isn't the best time,
but there's something I'd like you to do as Nina Viento.
Many of the people are scared.
Many of them say it would be better to turn back than go forward.
But we face enemies on all sides.
We have to continue our journey.
So...
I understand.
I will fulfill my role as Nina.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes.
Thank you for everything.
I'm done.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
We're helping rebuild the town today, so you should eat more.
Nanako, you've barely touched your own food.
Neither have you, Sharon.
I couldn't really sleep.
Once night falls, I get scared that there might be another bombing...
I'm back!
Ari!
You're all eating breakfast?
Perfect! I'll join you.
Are you sure, Ari?
Shouldn't you still be at the hospital?
More wounded are coming in every day.
I can't take up a nice bed like that.
My wounds have closed, so I might as well finish up recovering here.
Where's Chiharu?
She still isn't doing well.
She spends all her time by herself.
I see.
Kal isn't here, either.
He's been locked in his room for a while.
He won't come out to help with the work.
He's acting kind of weird.
Kal, it's me.
I'm back.
At least answer me.
I'm coming in.
Don't.
Just leave me alone!
Ari...
How was Kal?
This is just how he used to be before.
Like he hates everything in the world.
Hey, there.
Thanks for helping.
No worries.
Is it okay for you to be up and about?
Yeah. I'm just fine.
I wonder what Admiral Luis is doing.
All this suffering, and he still wants to keep going?
We should head back.
That's right.
We can load the island with soldiers and go back.
A carriage!
And horses, too!
Wait, is that Nina?
Nina Viento is here?
Hey! Nina's giving a speech over there!
Hey, let me through!
I've never seen Nina up close!
Me neither.
It's a carriage!
Everyone, be quiet!
Get back!
It's Nina!
It's Nina Viento!
Look at her golden crown!
She's so beautiful...
I can see why they call her the daughter of St. Aldista.
Everyone, be quiet!
The governor is going to give a speech.
Claire...
I am deeply moved by the sight of you working to restore your city.
I shall do everything I can to restore the city of Centezual to its former glory.
I'm sure you're worried about what the future holds for us.
But St. Aldista wills this journey to go on.
We must endure the suffering, and continue toward the End of the Sky.
If we do, we will find the blessings of Aldista.
Let us work together to overcome these trials!
Nina!
Nina Viento!
Kal, is this the reason you won't leave your room?
Nina!
Ari!
Get the carriage moving!
Wait!
Get back!
Claire!
Stop it.
Ignacio!
Push me.
Quickly!
Claire!
Let's fly together again.
We all love you.
Stop it!
That is my friend.
Stand back.
Nina!
It's Nina Viento!
I'm sorry.
Claire.
I can't fly anymore.
I can't see anyone, not ever again.
Not even Kal?
If he sees me, he'll surely suffer.
He'll remember the past.
I'll handle Kal!
Good-bye.
Get back!
Make way!
Nina!
Bow to Nina Viento!
Ari, what's wrong?
Are you okay?
What was that about?
It's nothing.
Kal, I brought your lunch.
You don't need to eat?
At least drink some water.
Everyone's worried.
I know some awful stuff happened to you in the past.
And I can tell that something as bad—
no—even worse happened to you recently.
But listen...
Can I talk about Dad?
My dad had a boy who died as a baby.
We used to be really poor.
We couldn't even buy milk.
My mom died just after I was born, y'know?
We didn't have the money to take her to a doctor.
We all had it pretty rough back then.
And that was part of what led to the revolution.
But Dad never complained.
He had every right to hate the imperial family.
But he took you in and raised you.
He gave you a lot of love,
taught you to fly...
So... I know it's hard for you,
but you'll always be our dad's son.
So I know you can do what he did.
I'll just leave the food outside.
If there's anything I can do, just tell me.
Ariel...
That was a wonderful speech.
Now everyone is united again, and we can continue onwards to the End of the Sky.
Are you all right, Claire?
I'm fine.
And stop calling me by that name.
I am Nina Viento.
I've given up that name.
Isn't Ari-men delicious?
Yeah...
Are you going to take that to Kal?
Yeah.
And one more for...
I'll take it.
You need to eat, or you'll get sick.
RA...
Kal, I brought you dinner!
Want to eat?
Oh, right. By the way,
I've decided to quit the flying school.
Even after I've healed, I guess I won't be able to handle a throttle.
So I spoke with the doctors and Mr. Bandereas,
and I'm going to be a mechanic.
I thought I'd tell you first.
Move.
Igna?
No matter what I do after this, don't interfere.
You're pathetic, Kal-el Albus.
I'm borrowing this idiot.
Ignacio!
That's a guard's uniform.
What's going on?
Are you sure we shouldn't stop him?
I don't really know,
but I think we can leave it to him.
You...
Sweet whispers of love aren't enough
To quell these unspoken feelings that stir within me
Armor is too heavy a burden for my body to bear
As I look for the key to unlock my imperfect heart
If there was ever a reason for me to fight
It could only be one thing
I can't leave you trembling alone
So I promise to come pick you up
I know how warm your body can feel
And so does the wind
It's me, Ignacio.
We have another mission.
I guess my luck really has run out if I have to fly behind him.
I hope I don't shoot him in the back of the he—
