Coppelia's casket
Kopperia no hitsugi
The flowing tears have already dried up
Nagareru namida wa mou karehate
Solitude starved for blood
Chi ni ueta kodoku
Death dances, smelling of angel down
Shi wa tenshi no nikoge no nioi o sasete mau
In a town where the black sun never sets
Kuroi taiyou ga shizumanu machi de
Everyone works silently with an air of deception
Dare mo ga damatte kijutsu-meki hataraku
I cannot meet you
Anata ni aenai
I cannot meet you here
Koko de wa aenai
God, our savior
Warera sukuitamaeru kami
Coppelia's casket
Kopperia no hitsugi
People are dolls tired of dancing
Hito wa odori-tsukareta ningyou
The lamb on the altar
Saidan no hitsuji
Where is the mechanical dream headed?
Kikai-jikake no yume wa doko ni mukatte yuku
Coppelia's casket
Kopperia no hitsugi
O light awakened from the darkness
Kurayami kara mezameru hikari yo
The lamb on the altar
Saidan no hitsuji
Where is the dream with the broken spring headed?
Neji no togireta yume wa doko ni mukatte iku
Noir...
It is the name of an ancient fate.
Two maidens who govern death.
The peace of the newly born,
their black hands protect.
Sorry.
I'll be done soon.
You treated my wound the first time we met too.
That feels like such a long time ago.
Yes, so long ago...
Birth
That damned Altena, summoning us out to that remote place.
It can't be helped.
Tradition dictates that the ritual take place at the Manor.
Tradition...
Breffort, what of that girl? That Corsican girl?
She will likely come through for us.
Noir...
It was born along with the birth of the Soldats.
Over time, the name became a legend in the underworld.
No one knows how many pairs
of legitimate Soldats Noir existed at any one time.
In any case, there was no end to those who laid claim to the title of Noir in the underworld.
Without even knowing the true meaning...
Just like us.
Altena!
Chloe has...
Oh, Chloe has...
Are you okay?
I've got a little Noir in me too.
Are YO U okay?
Once we go in, there's no going back.
I'm...
...not running away anymore.
We are Noir!
If you fear the heart of darkness,
make way!
Let's go.
Mireille!
This is a situation we never expected!
If one of the saplings fell,
the remaining two would become Noir, but...
Chloe is dead and the remaining two have turned against us!
Even if we are able to escape from them,
an inquiry by the Council will surely await us!
We should have killed the daughter of Corsica after all!
Are you listening to me, Altena?!
It is all over! Both you and Noir!
We will perform the ritual as planned.
This is not an entirely unexpected outcome.
The final, most difficult trial to overcome.
Altena?
What is important
is to bring forth the blades of old back into this world.
Yes, even if the Soldats are already the world.
Do you mean to say that you do not care what happens to the Soldats because of Noir?!
The man within the man, the love within the love,
the sin within the sin.
The Soldats were originally supposed to be the very truth that exists within the society of man.
But long months and years have passed
and the Soldats have changed.
Now, the Soldats are ravaged by disease
and have become the tumultuous society itself.
You can't be...
What we truly need is a pure blade.
A supreme presence, free of all things binding.
Yes, when Noir has been revived, that is when the Grand Retour,
the ideal of the Soldats of old, will be realized.
You intended for this to happen all along?!
You are the ones who will overcome the final trial.
That bond is the true mark of Noir.
Welcome, true Noir.
So you're Altena.
I suppose I should say that it's nice to meet you.
This is not the first time we have met.
I have watched over all of you for a long time now.
Yes, I have watched you too.
Don't be ridiculous!
The final, most difficult trial to overcome.
Come,
let us begin the ritual.
The surface is full of suffering,
but Noir is always in the dark,
fighting, protecting the grieving children.
The true form of the Soldats of old.
Two maidens who forge a perfect balance.
If love can kill people,
surely, hatred can save people.
This altar is the true stage for the ritual.
A place that no one knows, a place forgotten by time.
Your pilgrimage comes to an end here.
Many people died.
People of the Soldats...
Mireille's family and Chloe too...
And all for what?!
Foolish...
How foolish.
Your mother was like that too.
Fools that lost sight of the truth in the face of parental affection.
But they served as lambs to be sacrificed upon your altar.
How dare you?!
You don't...
You don't even deserve to be killed!
Then I have no choice.
Go ahead and shoot, or else your friend will die.
Yes, many lives have been taken,
by your hands.
Are you going to let all those lives go to waste now?
You ought to know it as well as I.
You are Noir. Born under sin and raised with sin by your side.
A supreme presence that governs death.
Your means of living lie there and only there.
I...
I am...
You have committed sin upon sin as Noir.
Those sins will exist for all eternity.
You needn't be saddened by it,
for those sins are necessary as long as the world of man exists.
And you are a person who was chosen for that purpose.
Now, pull the trigger.
Kill me and live on as the true Noir.
Please take care of Mireille.
Kirika!
Our hands are black.
Those sins will never be erased.
Noir...
But I will accept those sins as Kirika Yumura.
We are not who you think we are!
Kirika!
Farewell, Mireille.
Kirika!
Mireille, let go.
Please...
I'm begging you!
Come on.
Noir...
You're wrong.
Make way,
if you fear the heart of darkness.
What do you intend to do now?
This is by no means the end.
Who knows?
We will live on as we see fit.
That is all.
In the end, the world we live in is in darkness.
That's why...
...we seek the light.
Mireille...
What is it?
What are we going to do now?
I want to go back to Paris and have a hot cup of tea.
We'll talk about it after that. How about that?
You're making the tea, you know.
Sotto furerarete
The soft touch
Kono hoho no tsumetasa ni yatto kizuita
Finally made me realize how cold my cheek was
Asa me ga samete
Like waking up in the morning
Tori no koe ni hajimete kizuku you ni
And noticing the birds chirping for the first time
Totsuzen
Suddenly
Mada shiranai nani mo
I don't know anything yet
Kokoro ga motometeru mono
What my heart is seeking
Shiranai no
I don't know
Sora bakari mite ita
I was always looking up at the sky
Itsu kara kou shite
Like this, since who knows when
Ano kumo no mashita e omoi o tobashite
I would send my thoughts to right below that cloud
