Damn, that hurts...
Sorry, Master Suou... I failed.
I wish I could've patted you more...
Lykos, don't!
Hold your fire!
Well, if it isn't Commander Orka's sister.

This could only have been my brother's idea.
Custom states that no blood is to be spilled before the nous.
Only he could so fearlessly commit this taboo.
Just give up.
There is nothing you can do in this situation.
So you choose to resist even when it is futile.
You are a child without even your thymia.
You leave me no choice.
Don't move.
All of you, drop your weapons.
One false move and I'll slice his neck open.
Lykos!
Lykos.
Tokusa... everyone...
Chakuro!
Get to the nous!
Ouni...
Calm down.
I need to save the Mud Whale.
I have to think of the most important thing!
Lykos, let's go!
Is the nous back there?
What is this?
Someone's there.
Ouni!
Hey, Nibikko! Mojamoja! What's going on?!
How would I know?! And don't call me that!
Their timing is too good.
Shit, we've been pincered.
Screw it, the three of us will just have to hold the fort.
Right, Nibik...ko?
You will dry up
Fasten your body tightly in the coffin
Down beneath the sands in ancient depths
In the ruined forbidden garden
Live nobly
Friend upon these sands
My beloved friend
Friend upon these sands
Mommy, it's growing hands.
What?
My beloved friend
What are...
They're going "glug-glug".
Aren't they warm?
My beloved friend
It seems the fields and residential areas are clear.
Moreover, the counterattacks appear to originate from the four towers.
The location of the objective is becoming clearer.
Kill them all upon finding it.
Our mission is the execution of every one of Falaina's sinners.
By the way, what happened to the lion cub in your squad?
You mean Liodari? He's, well...
Gone solo again, huh?
I'm gonna make you cry, eyepatch!
Captain!
Master Suou...
You're terribly hurt...
What is this?
These things like fingers...
They're as warm as a person's touch.
It feels like the Mud Whale itself is alive.
Neri?
Something...
is appearing in my head.
Something...
is appearing in my head.
It's him...
Him?
That's him...
It's really him...
That's him...
Stop!
He jumped from the window of his school.
More abnormal conduct?
This kind of brother brings shame to our family.
We need simply to lock him away at home.
He's sick.
His emotions have run amok and are out of his control.
Even though he hasn't eaten sarx, he was the only child left whole, emotions unconsumed by the nous.
If I had to postulate a reason, there must have been an accident during his first pilgrimage to the nous Anthropos.
He repeatedly said that it "backflowed" into him.
Liodari, what backflowed?
Mommy, there were lots of hearts!
And all of them actually—
Liodari, that's enough.
What's truly inside people's hearts is a huge flower field...
totally drowned in disgusting mud and raging fires!
They were all filthy and tainted inside, but they try to act like dolls and cover that up with pretty words!
That's just boring!
But everyone here is despised by the whole world and on the verge of death, and yet they're full of life!
I love you all!
I saw your heart just now.
If your sorrow is such,
and if your world is painful, you should live with us instead!
Even you, like Lykos, can stay here.
Don't do that, Chieftain.
If they were all like that girl, we wouldn't be at war right now.
Do you honestly think we can be friends with someone who killed so many of ours?
Falaina is uneasy.
The boundaries are all wavering.
So this is the power of nous Falaina...
It pries inside you without permission...
Don't you dare get me wrong.
Who ever said they wanted to live with you?
Doesn't seeing someone with such lively eyes make you want to butcher them?
All I want is to mutilate everyone pretending to be human!
What could possibly be more fun?!
Dumbass!
You're lucky it feels fun to you.
Living is just a drag for me.
But if what you say is right...
even I should be able to feel alive by doing this!
No... I don't want to die...
No... no...
No!
No...
Don't chase him!
He can no longer do anything.
Instead of finishing off your enemies,
I want you to think of saving even one more of your friends.
Please.
If you have the will to live, you should.
I'm envious you can even feel that way, bob cut.
No, no, no...
No... no...
I don't want to die yet.
I'll live.
There's still so much fun out there.
I'll execute every last one of them.
I'll make them cry.
They actually react to me.
I've finally found my paradise.
I want to play so much more with the people of Falaina.
It's an enemy!
He's all bloody... I'm scared.
It's okay, we'll get him!
But...
We can do it!
More... you can be scared even more.
Come on, I'll play with you all you want!
It hit!
There are so many flowers.
I'm filled to the brim.
Filled with a heart beyond my control.
The world is crazy.
Nobody could possibly understand me.
Hey, Kicha.
Don't you think we should've met up with our group too?
What'll we do if the enemy shows up?
The group's probably fighting for their lives right now.
It's the same wherever you go.
Besides, what would we do with the prisoner?
If we don't watch her, she might escape back to her allies.
M-Maybe, but...
Where did the person with long hair go?
Why are you suddenly worried about Ouni?
Say something!
And Nibi...
Nibi definitely went along with Ouni.
It's no fair.
Even I wanted to...
Nibi, huh.
He's always clinging to Ouni.
Shikon. Shikoku.
He's a total weakling.
Even if he went, it's obvious he'd just hold them back.
Where the hell were you guys hiding?
We weren't hiding.
Those Unmarked decided to go to war all on their own.
Why should we be the ones to pay with our lives?
We bowel moles aren't pawns of the Chieftain. Isn't that right?
Of course...
Then why is Ouni doing whatever Suou wants?!
What's that supposed to mean?
Ouni's out risking his neck fighting on the orders of those useless Unmarked.
Our leader's bowed to the pressure of the authorities.
Don't you think that's strange? Well, Kicha?
I...
Hey, don't fight with your comrades.
And what about you?
Huh?
I see you're hiding an enemy.
Did Suou tell you to do that too?
Like hell he did.
Oh, really? Seems like you're wagging your tails for the Unmarked.
Say that to my face!
Hah?!
Want some?!
Ouni is—
Ouni is there because he chose to go.
Even I...
Even I don't...
I don't... want to be away from Ouni.
Ouni will definitely come back.
He'll definitely come back alive!
Stop wasting time and finish him.
Otherwise I'll shoot you too.
M-My apologies.
Is that true?
Wait.
He appears to be a daimon of Falaina.
Ouni!
So a child like him is one of the cursed mad warriors created on Falaina.
How ridiculous.
It seems as though the prison island has become something of a fairytale land.
The first soldiers to land on Falaina were surprised.
The sinners of Falaina were unaware of their own sin.
You knew nothing of the outside world and were entirely unaware of what happened.
One hundred years have passed since your exile,
but instead of advancing your culture, you regressed.
You created a false paradise by halting your growth with ignorance.
I doubt you are even aware of the reason why you are short-lived.
Sister of Orka, I cannot fathom what could have possibly attracted you to them.
These people are nothing more than characters in a picture book that will never be read.
This has nothing to do with your ancestors' sins.
It is what you yourselves bear that makes you guilty.
The sin of a meaningless existence.
I'll erase you.
In death, you will finally serve a purpose for the world.
Shut up.
Disappear.
Unable to become even the dust above the sands...
