01x08 - Destiny -Cosette-

[bunniefuu]

I'll k*ll you.

Maestro.

All I've been doing
is cleaning up garbage.

Just like what I'm going to do now.

Got it. Stop talking already!

Maestro!

What? How did he move like that?

Out of the way.

Don't ask me. That won't do.

Convince me with brute force.

Please calm down.

We're not in our best condition now.

We should retreat and prepare...

Maestro!

Come on, let's fall together.

Slice him up, Hell.

How pitiful you look, Takt Asahina.

Oh dear, look how desperate she is.

Why don't you go after them?

I ordered you to k*ll him.

Come on,

k*lling him straight away
would spoil the fun.

Don't worry about those two.

I bet they're turning the D2s
into mince meat right now.

What is this feeling?

I have a really bad feeling.

I'm going to check on them.

-Are you serious?
-I can't just wait here.

Look at you giving older guys a hard time.

You've become quite the woman.

-Anna.
-Hello, Anna.

Lenny, Titan.

It seems I was a little late.

Did you say something?

Cosette...

Cosette... I...

Suspected wound-induced fever.

I have to treat him right away.

If Sister Anna was here...

Maestro, are you all right?

What, you're here?

Cosette...

That's great.

Everything will be fine.

I won't leave you.

I'll always be here.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

But she's nearby.

That cute little Titan.

Leonard's here?

That pest always shows up.

Though he's nothing to fear.

That's right.

He better not ruin my fun.

Stop humming.

Sorry,

I forgot that the head commander
actually hates music.

Music is a waste of time.

It serves no real purpose.

What's worse, it's judged using
something as vague as emotion.

But this will all change.

The world will follow my judgment.

I will decide what's necessary.

Historians of later generations

will surely praise me as a hero.

Even that Grand Maestro will recognize me.

Are you awake, Maestro?

You...

Don't move, your wound will open up.

Did you bandage it for me?

Yes.

It's awful. The bandaging sucks.

And it's not tied up right.

Even I could do better.

True.

I couldn't even dress a wound properly.

Why did you run away back then?

I thought fighting was
the reason you exist.

When I saw you fall,

I thought I would lose you.

I thought I'd never be able
to hear you play piano again.

When I thought that,

my body began moving on its own.

Besides, you haven't finished
composing your piece.

My piece...

It's not like
I'm capable of composing anyway.

The important point is
who I want to listen, huh.

For me, I have no such person.

That person is gone...

Do you mean Cosette?

Yes, that's right.

She's Anna's younger sister.

She used to come to my house,

trying to help me out.

At first, I thought she was annoying.

No, it wasn't just her.

The previous me
was so fed up with everything.

I mean, of course, I was.

Every single one of them gave up
what they needed most.

Music.

They gave up the light
that illuminates people's hearts.

That's why I kept on playing, all alone.

I kept playing

while thinking
I would never reach anybody.

It was only she,

who never gave up on me.

She kept telling me
that my piano would reach people.

She would tell me over and over.

That's why I decided to believe her,
at least once.

Nobody had abandoned music.

The people I thought had given it away,

are still holding on firmly.

Holding on to music.

I felt my sound
connect to the outside world.

I realized that

I'm not alone.

She helped me realize this.

It was Cosette...

But, she's gone.

It's meaningless to compose music now.

Even so,

I think you should continue composing.

There is passion in your music.

Blazing passion
that illuminates people's hearts.

In this world, there are people waiting.

Waiting for your music.

They need it.

A person is waking the D2?

Yes.

But they're not
targeting a town this time.

It's Takt and Cosette instead.

How can this be...

If anything happens to them...

Rest assured.

Takt is no sweet, meek boy.
He won't go down without a fight.

Besides, Destiny is with him.

I... always called her Cosette.

I did that to ignore the truth.

Even though I already knew...

Maestro, the sound.

The sound is playing.

It's close.

This time, I want to face her properly.

I want to talk with her,
without running anyway.

Leave it to me.

That's the reason we came.

You look terrible.

It's my fault, isn't it?

Because I'm devouring your life force.

I see.

So we're resuming.

What happened? Why didn't he come?

Because he's not necessary.

What's that?

To defeat someone like you,

I don't need Maestro's power.

What a courageous girl.

If I were to break his neck
before your very eyes,

I wonder what face you'd make.

I'll only say one thing.

Get out of here!

More!

Show me how you really shine!

That fool.

Go on, call for help.
Admit you can't do this alone.

Scream like a helpless princess.

Go on, give it a try.

I... refuse...

Maestro isn't someone
that ought to stand on a b*ttlefield.

He loves music. All he should be doing

is playing the piano.

Conductors and Musicarts are the ones
who turn music into power.

I'd say he is perfect for the b*ttlefield.

You would never understand.

Then I'll ask him directly
right after I break you.

Stop!

Oh my.

Takt Asahina, you finally came.

I thought you'd run away in despair
at the gap in power...

Why did you come?

Are you an idiot?

I don't want to be called an idiot
by an idiot.

You can't fight alone.

You big idiot.

You're the big idiot.

Shut up, you shoddy Musicart.

-You're a shoddy maestro!
-You two...

Don't ignore me...

Hello, my lovely children.

I haven't been gone long,

but it seems you two have gotten so close.

Leonard?

Don't forget about Titan!

Long time no see, little Titan.

I won't let you harm them,

Hell.

Call me Miss Hell.

We'll keep them busy for you.

Be sure to talk and make up.

All right then,

would you join me for a duet?

Leonard.

-Maestro.
-I forgot to ask you something.

You said that

there are people in this world

who need my music.

Then, what about you?

Are you asking me?

Yes, I'm asking you,

Destiny.

Me too...

I mean, I do...

I do want to listen to your music.

My life force is yours to use.

Let's do this together.

Understood.

What's wrong? You'll have to play rougher
than that for me to feel anything!

Is this all you can do
after that grand entrance?

How embarrassing.

You've always been like this.

You disregard your duties
as a Conductor at the Symphonica,

and go prying where you're not wanted.

You're a hypocrite.

You don't seem to get it.

I'm in charge of the prelude.

If I defeat the bad guy,
I'd steal the show.

You...

Okay, here comes the maestro.

Let the show begin!

Destiny!

Looks like we're finally playing for real!

Will you be able to stop this?

Play!

Destiny!

What's going on?

Why does she have such power?

Why? Takt Asahina!

It's not over yet.

More! Let's devour each other more!

That's right. Fight them, Hell.

Whatever it takes, k*ll them!

That's enough.

Oh, Heaven?

Felix Schindler.

You were ordered
not to interfere with Takt Asahina.

This is a clear violation.

What?

I'm here to pass on a message
from Grand Maestro Sagan.

"You're dismissed from
your post as head commander.

Any authority you have at the Symphonica
is hereby rescinded."

What? How could you fire me?

I'm the best Conductor at the Symphonica.

How could you fire me?

No, you've never been a Conductor.

What a shame.
Looks like you're no longer needed.

Guess you won't be needing this.

Goodbye, former Head Commander.

Conductor Leonard.

This incident is top secret.

Keep it to yourself.

Which part are you referring to?

Can you explain?

Was interacting with Takt
the only order he violated?

Isn't this a bit too blatant?

What about him?

He has nothing to do with us now.

You were told not to meddle too.

I was just having some fun.

I never intended to destroy them.

I'm a Conductor.

I'm the best Conductor there is!

All of you!

I leave all of you in the dust!

We're back...

I'm sorry.

I never really faced you properly.

From now on,

let me call you Destiny.

Then, should I just call you Anna?

Don't forget the "Sister".

Sure, Sister Anna.

Cosette,

I'm going to move forward.

I'll bring this music to the world.
