Kuu...
Kuu!
Chapter Eleven The Angel's Corridor
Shattered Angels Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky
Grown-ups that I pictured as a child
Are nowhere to be found
Hearts at cross purposes, or moving as one
At times swell like the universe, or suffer solitude
Crossing hearts
Like the skies eternally blue
Your smiling face dazzles me
Velvety sighs echo into the dark
Moment to moment our emotions change
Longing for a warmth we can believe in
Behaving as we have been taught
Using shards of tears as armor
I frantically search for you
For there is something I must convey
Though it may hurt us
Kuu!
Don't go!
Kuu!
Kyoshiro!
I'm surprised you survived... Shiro.
You are such a wonderful brother.
You keep intoxicating me as if you were an inexhaustible bottle of good wine.
You are so gallant, oh, how gallant!
And all despite the fact not even a trace of you remains in Cielo's heart.
Kazuya...
Here, intoxicate me even more...
Kazuya...
C'mon, Shiro. What's with that face?
You must keep crying and crying, forever and ever, right?
Take this!
That's enough, Kazuya!
It's a fact that you are brilliant.
You really are impressive, and everybody looks up to you and worships you,
while you stand atop your lofty peak, shining brilliantly.
I imagine that all those girls who are locked in those chambers believe it.
But, listen, Kazuya...
That's good, Sojiro. Go on, go on.
Continue these words of praise that pierce my heart so!
What a fool...
Angels' Requiem!
A Hymn! A song of celebration!
Sing, sing! Sing away for the happiest couple now ascending into heaven!
Sing, world! Sing songs of praise! Sing away!
Halleluiah!
Kuu.
Come...
Come!
Now... Come!
You, the perfect one! Unquestionably the one I love the most!
The same beautiful you from that day. Oh, I can't bear it any longer!
My Cielo!
Are you all right?
Kaon!
Cielo, Cielo!
Kuu?
Ah, Cielo...
Cielo!
My dearest Cielo...
What the... What is that?
That is the angels' prison, Bastille...
Bastille?
I've read about it in my grandfather's documents.
It's a manifestation of the destructive powers of the Absolute Angels.
According to the Bible, an angel will descend upon the world
to announce death and destruction at the end of the Earth's existence...
It's truly the absolute power that controls all things in the universe,
every phenomenon, even time and space.
I never expected to see it with my own eyes... It must mean the ultimate end has come.
No!
Kuu...
What? Where is my sweet bride?
My dear sweet Cielo, please show yourself!
Now, don't be shy, but show me your smile, just like you did that day.
Show me your spotless, perfect self!
It has started...
Two-Legged Sword, Batraz, is this your wish?
To destroy the world?
Sojiro...
I don't like it that Sojiro's not here! I hate it, I hate it!
I know...
Life has been mistreated and condemned you.
There is only one who has accepted you, and that is Sojiro Ayanokoji.
He is the kindest of all, and he wishes neither death nor destruction upon anybody.
So, you...
Let me out...
Let me out! I wanna be with Sojiro!
I don't wanna stay here!
Sojiro! Sojiro!
I understand you, Tarlotte of the artificial wandering planet.
Left-hand sword, Murakumo.
Your heart belongs to that one and only for all time.
Your body and soul have been dedicated to her, I understand.
That's right.
Is it your wish to destroy everything, and rest in eternal sleep?
With the one you desire, rather than leaving your fate in someone else's hands?
Don't underestimate me.
I'm not going to be defeated.
I will never hand over my soul, even if my body is shamed or my memories removed.
I will not succumb to pain or agony.
Never...
I see. You feel just the same.
I understand you, Lunar Spiral, Kaon.
Right-hand sword, Claiomh Solais.
What fills your heart is one deep emotion.
You served and served, yet what awaited you was only an empty room.
A room in which you can only wait alone.
I don't want to be away from Kyoshiro. I don't want to be alone.
You would rather shred everything, than be alone...
Is that your wish?
No.
I see, because that won't bring your loved to your side.
I am an Absolute Angel, Kyoshiro's Sword...
So I will do anything for him, anything...
but...
I wonder if I made a mistake somewhere.
Am I such a worthless girl?
Did I not love him enough?
I don't know... I don't know...
The workings of the human mind aren't a matter of addition or subtraction.
Sometimes they work beyond gain and loss, right and wrong,
and everything else in the world.
Kyoshiro, Kyoshiro, Kyoshiro!
I understand, Setsuna of the Moment of Dreams.
I am the same.
Yes, it is a power beyond everything... even my own soul.
I must go forward accepting any sins and punishment... For him...
Kuu Shiratori, Megingjord...
My vessel, my true body...
Show me who you are...
It's you!
No doubt the angel I saw that day!
Jump into my arms, my dear Cielo!
Cielo, my Cielo!
I will not let you go...
Never will I let you go!
The destruction has started.
Kaon...
Hey, Shiro!
I won't hesitate any more.
I don't believe that guy...
Well, we have some work to do.
Yes, sir!
Hot snow...
Here we go!
Spiritual Concerto!
Shoot... They keep coming!
I will handle things here... Go!
But...
The Absolute Angel that means most to Kazuya,
the one who is in the center of that monster, is Kuu Shiratori.
Saving her will save everyone... I think.
Don't worry. I have a reason to not be defeated, myself...
See, my girl's hungry.
Sojiro...
Go!
I'll come with you.
General Ayanokoji.
Oh, brother...
Okay, let's go.
Are you all right?
Go, please.
No! I can't do that!
Please watch out for Kaon.
Spiritual Concerto!
Kaon, I'm going to hang in there. Until the end...
Kuu...
I'm no prince.
Strong, kind, handsome and winning against any odds...
I am not anything like that...
I am a fool chasing the shadow of my brother, who was simply too brilliant...
I hung my head, believing that there was nothing worthwhile in a world,
in a world where Kazuya didn't exist...
But, that wasn't the case.
Even if it is surrounded by black clouds, even if the storms rage...
this world will never be destroyed.
Because, beyond it the crystal blue sky, goes on forever!
Their sincere looks, kind gestures, words and warm touch taught me
that there was something worth sacrificing my life for.
They taught me that there was definitely something greater than life,
sweeter than happiness, and more valuable than victory.
They taught me that there was something I could truly believe in!
That is...
Kuu!
Murakumo!
Do not... touch... my Cielo!
Even if for only a moment, even if I am forgotten...
even if the world ends right now...
I want... You!
Kuu!
Kuu Shiratori...
Is this your wish?
Is this all your wish?
I've believed for a long time that I am... only empty and boring.
But still, I had a prince...
who would come for me someday, and who would fill me with sparkling happiness.
I'd always thought that.
But... I wasn't empty after all.
Kuu Shiratori was filled with Kyoshiro's presence.
That's so much nicer than eternity and nicer than contentment.
And much more than what I had dreamed of.
It is a truly wonderful thing...
So there's no more room in me now for my prince...
or a spirit...
I... Kuu Shiratori, would like to see Kyoshiro once again.
I would like to see him, my dear one.
I see...
But, is that really what you want? Do you understand what you are choosing?
Do you understand what this means to you?
Are you sure?
I am sure.
I really want to see him.
I understand you, Kuu Shiratori.
Kuu!
Kuu...
Kyoshiro...
The empty birdcage speaks of yesterday's leave-taking
I said good-bye in the glow of sunrise
Each day we awaken as different people
Two who are new, yet somehow familiar
"I want to love you" means nothing more than that
All I need is to touch you
I live protected by love that is promised, but
Why is it that ultramarine implies transience?
I want to see you
Will this sky give me eternity; this sea, life?
Flower petals quiver like wings coming to rest
In my paradise as I drowse
