[Exiled-Destiny]_The_Third_Ep24_(76E19C59).srt (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Though you are so close, Kore hodo soba ni
I cannot tell you how I feel. Iru no ni tsutaerarezu
The more strongly I feel, Tsuyoku omou hodo
the harder it is for me to find the words. Kotoba ga mitsukaranai
What is sad is not fate... Kanashii no wa unmei ja nakute
...but that all encounters come to an end. Deai no subete ni owari ga aru koto
O incomplete beings, Mikan naru mono
awaken, for beyond the night... mezameyo yoru o koetara
At the end of the desert... Sabaku no hate ni
...the truth surely awaits you. Shinjitsu ga matteru yo kitto
"O star, as thy dream dictates,"
"Let us depart on a journey tonight."
"In the embrace of the blue night sky, the whispering wind,"
"and the blessing of the children that dwell upon the land."
Honoka.
Donna Myfree's poems are all fine and good, but soon...
I know. It's coming into view for me, too.
The Story That Begins Here
If you were going to greet us, you could've come in person.
Unfortunately, depending on your response,
we have to move on to our next course of action right away.
Course of action, huh?
Turn back immediately.
Your action infringes upon the Technos Taboo.
I know that.
If you obey this order now and withdraw,
your actions thus far will be overlooked.
I have no intention of obeying.
Tell me why.
Screw you, Technos Taboo!
That's all.
A simple answer.
And you?
My objective in coming to this planet...
...was none other than to make my way here.
My withdrawing from this place is an impossibility.
What is here?
That, you must know as well as I.
Isn't what you're going to do first pretty much set?
Why don't you start with the opponent that's easier to fight?
Miss Honoka...
Don't say anything, Iks.
I think it's probably the best choice for both Joganki and me.
This isn't the time for indecision.
I've come to willfully break the Technos Taboo.
You're right.
Honoka, out of the way!
This is my department!
Bogie, I don't need your help.
Leave it to me.
Honoka!
Please Iks, you too. Wait here.
Miss Honoka's abilities have clearly evolved.
The infusion of regenerative cells that Kamui gave her...
...have drawn out her powers...
Why are you taking us down?!
I am going to see him.
What for?!
You don't mean to take him to the Singularity, do you?!
Joganki, the underlying issue is not just the Technos Taboo!
Surely, you know that!
When he arrives at the Singularity,
what will be conducted there and what will happen?
We cannot even begin to predict those things!
So we must stop him at all costs!
With what means would we stop him?
Given this situation against Honoka alone.
But...
If The Third's military might leads to excessive destruction and losses,
we would be no different than humans.
The Steel Gorge.
A great ravine located at the center of the Rokugo Desert.
This fissure in the land that runs interminably to the east and west...
...is as if the planet itself...
...has left a never-closing wound exposed for all to see.
As a Class 1 top secret location,
The Third have it under extremely tight security...
...in order to make sure not a soul comes near it.
We call this place the Singularity, and since the beginning,
we have been aware of the being lying dormant at the bottom of the gorge.
A body of energy thought to hold an overwhelming amount of potential.
Its existence was nothing but a threat...
...and successive generations of The Third...
...have used every conceivable means...
...in an attempt to communicate with this being in some way.
The accumulated result of that...
The various technologies and legacies from the past to the present...
...can be found here.
You feared the outflow of the technology here...
Is that why you limited access to this place with the Technos Taboo?
It is true, that was one reason,
but we were also afraid of the being that lies dormant down there.
We realized...
...that it was not us who had been monitoring him,
but that he had been monitoring us.
What is this "he"?
The only one in our world who knows the answer to that is...
I have feared that this day would come someday.
But...
I now think that perhaps part of me had been hoping it would.
The territory beyond this point has been completely untouchable.
Not even powerful thought, to say nothing of physical technologies,
has been able to penetrate past this point.
Let's go.
What?
Please synchronize with my thoughts as much as possible.
This place...
Have we entered into his domain?
I have been waiting.
This voice is...
It has been long. It has been long.
O Observer,
I must apologize to you.
Have I been forsaken?
The things that I have done upon this land, the things that I have seen.
Was it all meaningless?
This... emotion...
Sorrow? Despair?
No, it's more hollow...
Nihility!
It is true, then?
I can understand...
...the meaning of the judgment that is likely to be handed down.
O Observer,
before that, show me what you have seen.
I am prepared to accept it.
Very well.
Who?
Who was it that was born?
You?
Me?
This is me...
The things that begin in me...
The things that trace back to me...
The things that are me.
I have watched this planet...
...and the rise and fall of the intelligence that was born here.
I have merely kept watch over the evolution of life and of intelligence.
The intelligence on this planet seemed to hold wonderful potential.
However...
Why?
The hate...
The rage...
They envelop me.
Why?
I am burned in blazing flames.
All that was built crumbles.
But...
...the one who pulled that trigger is also me.
All was lost.
The things that disappear...
The things that begin in me...
The things that trace back to me...
It hurts.
It's so painful and so cold...
Are these... tears?
The emotions... The trembling of my heart... They won't stop.
We saw the same things...
No, experienced them, didn't we?
That just now...
What I felt just now...
Did you feel it?
The grief and pain that pierced my being.
O Arbiter.
Arbiter?
In all likelihood,
Arbiter Iks and this voice, the Observer, came from the same place.
The Observer, in the distant past.
O Arbiter, everything has already...
No, ultimately, I am one who merely observes.
I will say no more.
Please continue, Observer.
Do you believe that all is over?
That there is nothing more that will spring anew from this place?
I...
I...
Wait!
I'm sorry.
I'm truly sorry.
Miss Honoka?
Girl, whose name I do not even know.
What is it that you have ever done to me?
I-I...
Perhaps that would be better.
Better if you speak to the Observer, Miss Honoka.
Iks...
You, who live upon this planet.
For a long... long time, I've felt it.
Your soul.
The sorrow, the pain, the suffering...
That your soul had gone beyond emotions and become empty...
Girl, do you know?
The horror of only being able to watch?
The horror of being unable to do anything?
Even so...
Even so, you continued to watch over us, right?
That's why I want to apologize.
If everyone had realized that you were watching over them,
something might have been different.
Are you saying that the mere act of my watching...
...could have meant something to all of you as well?
That what I have done was not for naught...
I think it can't be helped, no matter what answer you come up with now.
Because we've subjected you to so much grief and suffering.
But...
That's exactly why I want to say this!
To you, who've watched over us all this time!
To say, "Thank you."
Observer?
O girl.
O kindhearted girl,
I should be the one to thank you.
What?
You have cried for my sake.
You have embraced my soul.
Thank you, girl.
Terror suddenly gripped Honoka's heart.
As if she had only just realized...
...the extraordinary magnitude of the being she had just spoken with...
...and what they had spoken of.
O Observer,
in her time before coming here,
she has watched over, embraced, and comforted many a soul.
The soul of a weapon that had been abandoned...
...and lost sight of his reason for being, shedding tears like a lonely boy...
The soul of a little girl, who was in turmoil at the gap...
...between what she aspired to be and who she was in reality.
A soul that agonized at the love she could not convey.
And the other soul,
whose fate it was to inherit her soul...
...and do as she had done.
That is why I think it is now my turn to be the one to embrace...
...Miss Honoka's soul.
Iks...
By doing so, I believe I can learn more about this planet...
Learn more about the life that breathes upon this planet.
In meeting Miss Honoka,
I have begun to feel that humans have once again begun to think...
...about what it means to live and what the true nature of life is.
O Arbiter, does that mean...
Let's wait and see a little longer.
The arbitration can still be done then.
I will take on your role from now on.
I am grateful, Arbiter. And, girl...
It was my salvation to have met the human that you are at the very end.
Kamui!
Iks, the Fairy...
Her time to depart has come.
The Fairy departs together with the Observer.
The Fairy must have also been uncertain.
Whether or not it was a good thing to scatter the genetic information...
...of this planet across the universe.
But...
She's decided to depart, hasn't she?
The Fairy's decided that it's all right, too!
Do not forget.
You are me. I am you.
Though we may be far apart, remember that much.
Never forget it.
I won't forget...
I won't forget it!
The Fairy...
The Fairy's departing on her journey!
Among humans and The Third,
with the exception of the Technos Taboo,
it has been like an unwritten rule that we stay clear of one another.
But perhaps her existence will change that.
As a third being, in the true sense of the word,
who will be the link between humans and The Third.
Perhaps so.
But I'm sure Miss Honoka would say, "I am who I am."
Perhaps there is a need to reconsider the Technos Taboo as well.
Miss Honoka will be happy to hear that.
We'll meet again! That's a promise!
That night, people saw the blue light...
...and for some reason, were moved to prayer.
Wishing that no matter where the light was journeying to,
the new future would not err in its path this time.
"And the blessing of the children that dwell upon this land,"
"if you are truly fortunate,"
"the tomorrow you arrive at will be kind."
"All will begin here, and all will return here." "All will begin here, and all will return here."
Joganki?
He...
Iks, in the presence of the Observer,
audaciously proclaimed his own feelings for Honoka.
His own feelings?
If that wasn't a confession of love, I don't know what is.
What a plebian thing to say.
But if so, that means you've lost, does it not?
Lost?
Now, that is a truly plebian thing to say, Fila Marique.
Is that so?
Then I shall not sympathize.
Sorry for making you wait, Bogie.
Did you worry?
If I worried over every little incident like this,
I couldn't be your partner.
Come on, we're leaving.
Yeah.
Let's go, Iks!
I'll show you more!
Everything that I know of this world!
Yes.
