Death Carries a Cane (Passi di danza su una lama di rasoio)

It hurts.

I'm scared.

I'm sad.

This is...

Ren...

Have you awakened, Marguerite?

I have prepared a small party for you.

I hope that you like it.

Who are you?

Karl did not tell you?

I am his friend.

Oh, did he tell you a different name?

For example, yes...

Cagliostro?

He has spoken of you to me.

A woman like a goddess, he said.

He has strange tastes,

but I suppose I agree.

And so, I put the question to you.

What do you think of me?

What?

Your answer?

You let everyone die.

You destroy them.

You turn everything into this.

You are a frightening person.

I see.

You fear my path to consequence.

But that is strange.

The goddess of whom I heard

would not have felt that way toward others.

Emotionless, and thus, infallible...

In other words, I thought you had no heart.

This is pain.

Indeed.

My love is the karma of destruction.

With this Valhalla, I shall conquer all.

I told you I would teach you how to love.

I'm scared!

No...

Your world is wrong.

Then, we shall not receive Heaven together.

There is no need for two rulers.

Let us celebrate!

Here, the war has been declared!

Swastika

I did it! I did it!

It's a success!

Welcome, Zarathustra, bastard child of Karl Krafft!

No, that isn't right...

I know... Ren! I'll call you "Ren"!

A flower of hope, born from the mud.

From now on, you are my son!

You needn't worry.

I'm sure my wife and daughter will love you.

Ren... Ren...

That's... me.

What am I?

Maybe I knew it from the start,

that I would never have a normal life.

That everything was temporary.

Like a dream.

Someday, this everyday life would end,

and the real scenario would begin.

So I hoped that time would stop.

That this would go on forever.

That I wouldn't have to lose what was important to me.

I wished that

this future would never come.

I...

I...

Marie!

Marie!

Where am I?

Damn it...

It's no good.

Marie! Marie!

Answer me! Are you there?

Hello, Fujii-kun.

Senpai?

Wait. I'll unlock the manacles.

Are we at the church?

Yes.

The basement?

Yes.

A secret fort, huh?

Are you stupid?

Isn't there more you want to ask?

Ask.

Instead, you're only asking where you are.

I can't believe you.

I already know the thing I most wanted to know.

That you're on my side.

Or else you wouldn't do this, would you?

You're a nasty person, right?

And I am a wicked woman.

I thought this day might come.

That my entire life was a mere dream.

And that there was no way I would ever get

to lead a normal life.

So first, let's close our eyes.

Let's shut our ears and our mouths.

Stop breathing and never move.

Keep your heart as hard as stone,

so you feel nothing.

Don't notice anything.

When I did that, Fujii-kun...

I started thinking that maybe everything would simply end.

I was so frightened of doing anything.

I...

Me, too.

I was the same.

Maybe I knew this would happen someday, too.

So I looked away, pretended,

ignored anything I didn't want to see.

But it isn't too late!

Do something, Senpai!

I haven't given up, and I haven't lost anything yet.

Then, will you make love to me here?

If you want to do something, then rape me.

And if you can't do that,

then just kill me.

I've always thought I shouldn't be alive.

Sorry, that was a joke.

Do the rest yourself.

Bye-bye.

Hey, wait! Hey!

You give up quickly, Theresia.

That must not be fun for Fujii-san.

If you come up with an idea, you should see it through.

Of course...

Nothing can be done about some things.

Shut up!

I hate you, jerk!

Don't talk to me anymore, jerk!

Okay.

Rough day, huh, Fujii-san?

I apologize for Theresia's rudeness.

Where is she now?

Couldn't say. She seemed upset.

I stay away from women like that.

I'm willing to take a slap,

just not at the moment.

It would be infidelity.

Come with me.

Lord Heydrich awaits.

Then, you're saying she knows nothing?

Yes.

She was born in this era, and until now, has lived a normal life.

Though, perhaps having had creatures like us around her

since childhood, has tipped her off to something...

But you mustn't blame her for that.

Humans always see what they desire to see.

Especially when they have no proof.

You cannot act ahead of time with only a vague sense of unease.

That's because you led her to be that way.

I cannot deny that,

although Liza gets most of the credit.

But now, you should worry about yourself, not her.

If nothing else, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.

I speak from the heart when I say this.

I wish you good luck.
