"About Love"
I continue wishing to see you
Today we'll go on a journey
That's as endless as the blue sky
With joy, sorrow and hope come setbacks
They repeat, they repeat
What should I believe?
You know nothing about love, however
Someday you will feel warmth inside
I dream of the day when you'll speak of love
Tomorrow, our journey will begin

I was a foundling who was rescued from a slave dealer by the traveling artist, Vitalis.
On that day,
I had to say goodbye to my dear mother and begin my endless journey.
Episode 5: Miracle of the St. Maria Statue
We'll take a little rest. - Okay
Wow, that's cold.
Got it!
Give it back!
I said, give it back!
Give it back!
Hey, get down!
Watch out!
Remy!
Are you all right?
Is anything broken?
It must've been those brats from the orphanage.
They're known to love causing mischief.
There we go.
Thank you. - How is it?
It doesn't hurt anymore.
We're really sorry for what happened.
It's all right.
Sorry.
Nina...
Why is she crying?
Nina is Pierre's sister. I hope you can forgive her brother.
Nina, please don't cry. - Pierre, this is your fault.
I know. I'll apologise.
Sorry for earlier.
It's all right.
Look, she's fine, right? You don't have to worry about her, Nina.
Pierre!
He really is a troublemaker.
He's a nuisance. Yet, he's so kind to Nina.
It seems Nina doesn't speak.
Yes, that's right.
She could speak before but suddenly...
Suddenly?
Her mother died.
Since then she has not been able to say a word.
Who's there?
Hey, can the little monkey really act?
Everyone.
Mr. Vitalis, looks like a big audience.
Mmhm.
Seems like Joli-Coeur wants to show off his skills.
Our next act is the play "Joli-Coeur's Servant".
She could speak before but suddenly, her mother died.
Since then she has not been able to say a word.
Mother.
Mother, I'm doing my best.
Pierre?
Who is it? Who's there?!
I know you're there, come out!
Remy.
Sorry I scared you.
Why are you following me? - Where are you going at this hour?
Shut up, I'm not telling you.
I can only tell my friends at the orphanage.
Why?
They have no mothers or fathers.
So they are my friends. - Well, then I'm your friend too.
I don't have a mother or father either.
I do have a stepmother, she raised me as her own.
I was a foundling.
Really?
Really. If it wasn't for Mr. Vitalis I would've been sold.
I'll go back then.
Wait! I understand.
Follow me. Just keep it secret from the adults.
Mmhm.
What is this place? - Mr. Gerald's mansion.
Mr. Gerald's...!? We're sneaking into someone's house!?
Shut up and follow me.
No, we shouldn't!
I know, but I have to do this for Nina.
For Nina?
This way.
St. Maria, I beg you, please let Nina speak again.
Pierre...
You come here to pray for this.
Tonight is the ninety-ninth day I've prayed for it.
Ninety-ninth?
My mother used to say that if you prayed for a hundred days straight,
St. Maria will perform a miracle.
Nina loved that story. She always asked mom to tell it.
Hey, mom, tell us the usual story about St. Maria.
All right, all right.
A long time ago, there was a village where a kind-hearted girl lived.
The girl's grandmother was suffering from a long-term illness.
The girl prayed everyday.
"Make grandmother's illness go away soon."
On exactly the hundredth day,
St. Maria approached the girl and said:
"I came to answer your prayers."
She restored the girl's grandmother's health.
Did St. Maria really come down? - Did she really perform a miracle?
Yes, St. Maria is always a friend to the small and weak.
Soon after, my mother died.
From that day on, Nina wouldn't speak.
Tomorrow is the last of the hundred days.
For Nina, St. Maria, I ask you to perform this miracle.
Nina must speak again.
What did you say? Pierre is... - Yes.
Look at the child-sized footprints.
And it seems like there are two children. - Two?
Pierre and who else?
I don't know.
But it seems that boy Pierre has been sneaking out every night.
Every night? Every night!
So, what'd he steal?
I'm not sure at this point.
But if we asked, we'd have the answer.
Bring him to me immediately. I will check the house.
Certainly.
They get inside from here.
What an annoying brat.
Today's finally the hundredth day. - Shh! Don't be so loud!
Sorry.
But it's really great, every day, without fail.
Good job, Pierre!
It's nothing.
But, will the miracle really happen? - It will!
Nina will be able to speak again.
Pierre, promise me you won't- - I know.
After today, I won't be sneaking into Gerald's mansion.
Sneaking into?
Pierre, it really is you.
Pierre, you really go into Gerald's home every night to steal?
No! - Come here!
I won't let Pierre go out tonight, I'll watch him. So, please, forgive him.
Wait!
Hey! Wait, Pierre!
Only one more! I just have to pray once more and then there will be a miracle.
If I don't go now, I'll never get a chance.
St. Maria...
I have to get there, where St. Maria... where St. Maria is.
Why is there smoke? - Somebody!
Mr. Gerald!
Such thick smoke!
Pierre!
Pierre...
Pierre, hurry!
Damn... This way, Remy, hurry!
The house is on fire!?
Yes, everyone is trying to save him but the fire is growing.
Mr. Gerald!
What's wrong, Nina?
What, what do you want to say?
Pierre must be in that house. - And Remy too.
Remy!
The master's in danger! Hurry and put the fire out! Hurry!
Capi, wait here with everyone.
Remy, get a hold of yourself!
Hurry and escape! - Okay.
Remy, Pierre, where are you!?
Remy, Pierre!
Remy!
Mr. Vitalis!
Remy, Pierre!
Mr. Vitalis!
Thank goodness. Are you all right? - Yes.
Good, let's go.
Hang in there, Pierre.
Remy, where are you going?
You guys go ahead! - Remy!
Master! - Pierre!
Remy's still inside.
I'm sorry, Nina.
Remy!
Wait, it's dangerous!
Remy's still in there and St. Maria's gonna be burned!
I come here to pray for Nina!
For Nina?
Remy! St. Maria!
That was foolish. - I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
Remy!
You saved me along with Pierre.
Thank you.
Pierre was really brave.
Yes, but I didn't know that troublesome boy was coming to pray for his sister.
Had he told me, I would've given him the St. Maria statue as a present.
Would you really do that?
Guess I'll have to start anew.
We'll find another St. Maria statue and pray to it.
And soon it'll be a hundred days.
What is it, Nina?
St. Maria, why is she here?
On exactly the hundredth day,
St. Maria approached the girl and said:
"I came to answer your prayers."
St. Maria.
St. Maria is here.
Nina, you... spoke.
Brother.
Nina, say it again.
Brother.
Nina!
It's just like mother said. It's just like she said.
Yes, that's right.
Try to love yourself more
Abandoned dreams can be seen again
Surely, not everyone can be so strong
The blue sky lifts all of the world's tears...
Tomorrow's courage comes
From the future that gives us our fate
Try to seek for them more
Give your heart to
That person who is also seeking you
That person is Ms. Ivonne.
Sarah, where is my real mother?
That Mrs. Ivonne...?
Move forward, Remy.
Look towards tomorrow.
