The time is coming for those girls very soon.
I agree.
The True World will finally be opened.
"Save me from the darkness"
A sad voice that I felt
I'm in the hell
I'm in the fate
If we embrace, I'll freeze onto you
I don't trust anyone, but the reason why I want to save you is
Just because I know that if I can ignore the color of sin, I can go back
Wait... The door beckons my heart
A fate that will change who I am now
Your passion that plunges into my heart is the key
"Save me from the darkness"
That was my own scream
Within an illusion that I can even choose a different life
Is it a comforting dream?
I waver, bravin' my heart
Sumire!
N-Nene! And Riku, too!
Did I scare you?
You look like you're in a hurry, but do you have a second?
Huh?
Go on!
Umm...
S-S-Sumire, there's this movie playing this Sunday, and...
Ah! I'm sorry, but I have to get home fast!
What? You don't have a boyfriend, do you?
Whaa?
That's not it at all!
Really?
See you later, Nene, Riku!
Thank goodness...
I really thought she had a boyfriend, though... Thank goodness...
I really thought she had a boyfriend, though...
Augh, I missed my chance to take her out again!
Deep Emotions
Takahana, Sumire
No! No! Stop it!
Lucia! No! No! Stop it!
Lucia!
Lucia, are you all right?
Yeah. You don't have to worry.
Thank goodness. You were tossing in your sleep,
so I thought maybe you were having a bad dream or something.
I see.
But I 've heard that having a bad dream is a sign that something good is going to happen, so...
I 've never heard of that.
Oh, oh really?
It's almost time for your tests, isn't it?
You're right!
You know...
Your getting better is a good thing for me, too!
This fragment is all mine!
A fragment... And...
An empty world, void of anything...
I'm seeing it more and more clearly.
What in the world could it be?
Lucia says weird things!
Yeah, like she can see monsters and stuff. It's kinda creepy!
And what's with her left eye?
Forcing me to take on something like this...
What a "wonderful" father I have.
Sumire, you're making it too oily-oily.
Huh? Is this right, Laura?
Don't take that off! No, no!
Now it's all apart!
Lucia, Sumire...
Those two are so much like you.
They're so much like you were when you lived for the people you loved,
even though you were afraid of your own powers...
Lilith...
1 8 Years Ago
Please rest in peace, Father.
In the end, the only thing the master didn't teach us was the truth about the new world.
To think that he would die leaving only us, his disciples, behind...
But, Father said to grasp what is really important on your own.
But...
I think we might be better off not knowing anything about the truth about the world.
It's best if we stay just like we are right now.
I-I guess you' re right.
They' re back.
Eh?
Hey!
We just got back!
Lucif!
Welcome back, Lucif!
I 'm home, Lilith.
Back then, with the approval of a famous magician who was said to have mastered
the fundamental principles of the world, we had been spending time in our studies.
But, our master died of old age,
and we had not yet grasped the truth about the world that we had been seeking.
No matter where I went, the answer was always the same.
There is only one thing necessary to open the True World.
The source of life, the absolute thing which makes a human a human.
In other words, a fragment.
But to desire a new world so badly that we would even sacrifice a person...
That's something even gods shouldn't do.
And besides, the one who holds the fragment...
I know!
That's why Master didn't tell us anything about it.
He taught us in all different kinds of magic, but the only things he left us with
are these soulless twin dolls that he made to watch over us disciples.
But what did we come this far for?
I came this far to at least save the world from destruction!
This world is insane!
Everything is heading toward ruin, destruction, and death!
And yet we can't do anything?
Even though we know the perfect, ideal world, the True World, is out there?
Lucif! Do you understand what you are saying?
Yeah. I just said the truth, that's all.
What I 'm saying is...
Lilith possessed a very rare kind of fragment.
That may be why Master took in the young Lilith and raised her as his daughter.
However...
Lilith...
I'm happy.
Because I can be useful to you, help you find what you're seeking.
Lucif, I offer myself to you.
Lilith...
Go on, take the fragment from me.
That's OK. That's OK, Lilith.
I couldn't possibly sacrifice you.
But!
Lilith, there's something I'd like you to have.
According to a local legend, if you carry this, you will meet the other half of your soul.
Lucif...
You and I are two halves of the same soul. I won't let you go any more.
The story about the world and the fragment ended there...
or at least it should have.
Look, Lucif! Look at all of the flowers I got!
Lucif is gone.
And Lyla went with him.
Where is he?
It's no use, he closed his heart, so I can't sense where he is.
Lucif! You still... you still can't give up?
He will come back.
I am sure he will come back.
But...
I believe in him.
Because...
Lilith, don't tell me you're...
Wow, it's a girl!
Her name is Lucia.
Lucia... It means "light, " right? That's a good name.
Lucia... You are my treasure, my world, my very soul...
It was a happy moment.
The destined day came suddenly.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
We have to hurry back! Birthday!
Chocolate cake! Chocolate cake!
The cake isn't going to run away, Laura. Chocolate cake! Chocolate cake!
The cake isn't going to run away, Laura.
He's here.
Lucif! You're back?
That's great! Lilith will be happy to see you, too!
I'm not so sure about that.
What?
In this past year, I've finally learned why Master didn't tell us the truth behind the True World.
He was jealous.
Jealous that someone else would be able to get everything.
Wh-What are you talking about?
And, he realized that that person was me.
Lucif? You...
The world cannot be changed after all.
And if that's the case, then I have no choice but to obtain the True World.
Yes... By taking that fragment with my own hands!
That's ridiculous! What are you thinking?
A regular person can't do something like that!
You're exactly right. A regular person can't become a god...
unless he abandons his humanity, like I have!
You don't mean?!
Lucif...
Stop messing around! I'm not going to let you have your way with Lilith!
Hmph. You still have feelings for Lilith?
You're so pathetic.
You bastard!
Fool. Lilith is mine!
Mr. Nahashi? Mr. Nahashi?
Is something wrong?
Oh, no, it's nothing.
I brought some tea.
Thanks, Sumire.
Umm, about Lucia...
Hmm? What about Lucia?
Uh, well, I've been doing nothing but causing her trouble lately,
and she helped me the other day, too, so...
I want to do something to thank her.
To thank her?
Now that I think about it, Lucia's birthday is coming up!
It's July 7!
Laura!
July 7... Is that true?
Y-Yeah.
That's my birthday, too!
Huh... That's odd.
Even if it is just a coincidence, I have something in common with Lucia!
That makes me kind of happy!
A fragment...
There should be some kind of clue here about what the enemy is after.
What's this?
The key to open the True World is a fragment.
Only one who possesses one can control the world.
A fragment... Isn't this Nahashi's handwriting?
Could it be...
Lucia, what's wrong?
D-Don't tell me you...
He had the same eye as me.
Lucia...
Was that man the one who killed mother?
Tell me! Tell me the truth!
Mother... Mother...
I have it! I have a fragment!
Perfect peace...
The place for pure souls...
The True World is mine!
What's going on?
Wait! Wait!
I-lmpossible... The fragment...
The True World...
It's not possible!
Lucif!
Lilith!
Mother...
The fragment that was supposed to be the key is now lost.
No, it must have reincarnated somewhere.
I have no use for this place any more.
There's something ludicrous about all this, isn't there?
I was always told that the one who killed my mother was a Virus,
and so I kept hunting down Viruses this whole time,
in order to find out why Mother was killed. Yet after all that...
Lucia...
It really is just like everyone said!
I'm a cursed child!
Because... I'm the child of a Virus!
Sumire...
Hey Laura, what do you think I should get Lucia for her birthday?
Chocolate! Chocolate! It's gotta be chocolate!
I'm going to be giving it to Lucia, not you!
Lucia has such a great sense of style.
If I give her something typical, she' ll just make fun of me.
I 'm stuck. I don't know what to do!
That's what you say, but you sure look like you' re having fun.
Because when you' re celebrating someone's birthday,
or people are celebrating yours, it's kind of fun, you know?
Birthday...
I have to give her the best present ever!
Because I want to see Lucia smile!
Back then, I didn't realize Lucia's suffering, her sadness...
Even though I know it's a sweet trap
I can't resist the curiosity of temptation
The more I'm desired, the more tightly I become entangled by the spell
Enchanted by the fruit of love...
If the darkness of annihilation is your desire, then these hands shall obey
If you desire the darkness of silence, then I shall offer it to you
My purest feelings degrade into a tender yet cruel puppet
Hi! I'm Laura.
Now I'm not supposed to tell you this, but the "fragments" that attract Viruses
are kind of like... what you would call "life energy. "
I guess you could say that they' re human souls...
To put it simply...
Well, basically, they're very important, okay? Yeah!
What? Lucia is going to eradicate the Viruses on her own?
