WEBVTT
01:42.039 --> 01:46.961
IN A DUSTY UNIVERSE
01:51.257 --> 01:53.551
It's more put-together than I expected.
01:53.634 --> 01:56.971
You kept saying you didn't have anything,
so I thought it was totally empty.
01:57.054 --> 01:58.722
That was an exaggeration.
02:00.724 --> 02:02.351
You're taking high school exams?
02:02.434 --> 02:03.394
Yeah.
02:04.019 --> 02:07.439
I need a high school graduate certificate
to work at the insectarium.
02:08.232 --> 02:10.401
I didn't know that when I dropped out.
02:10.484 --> 02:12.069
The insectarium?
02:12.153 --> 02:15.823
Well, yeah.
Though it's just a dream, for now.
02:15.906 --> 02:19.076
Nice, that's awesome.
02:19.743 --> 02:21.287
A dream, huh?
02:23.831 --> 02:26.792
Look, the moon is almost full.
02:26.876 --> 02:31.589
During a full moon, Kolo and I
always mess around pretending to howl.
02:31.672 --> 02:33.674
Isn't that against school rules?
02:33.757 --> 02:35.926
That's why we pretend.
02:36.010 --> 02:38.304
We do it really quiet,
02:38.387 --> 02:42.349
but it's comforting to know our voices
reach each other even when we're apart.
02:44.310 --> 02:46.478
His tail isn't moving.
02:46.562 --> 02:49.732
I wanna hear your howl someday, Legoshi.
02:50.941 --> 02:51.901
Jack.
02:53.944 --> 02:55.321
Is something wrong?
02:56.363 --> 02:58.824
You don't look so good.
03:00.159 --> 03:05.164
Uh, maybe my accelerated classes
are draining my energy a little.
03:05.247 --> 03:08.334
Accelerated classes are that difficult?
03:08.417 --> 03:09.418
Yeah.
03:10.085 --> 03:13.589
Well, not difficult, exactly,
03:14.340 --> 03:16.383
but they're really different.
03:16.467 --> 03:17.593
Different?
03:18.135 --> 03:19.929
All the students are dogs.
03:20.012 --> 03:21.138
All of them?
03:21.221 --> 03:23.599
In one way, I guess that makes sense.
03:23.682 --> 03:27.770
Dogs like us were bred
to develop advanced intellects.
03:27.853 --> 03:31.190
That's why you do well in school, right?
03:31.273 --> 03:32.358
No.
03:32.942 --> 03:38.572
It means we're calm and logical.
We're not swayed by emotion.
03:38.656 --> 03:40.282
FIRST CARNIVORE-HERBIVORE WAR
03:40.366 --> 03:42.034
In the accelerated classes,
03:42.117 --> 03:45.537
they make us study subjects
they don't teach in normal classes.
03:46.580 --> 03:50.167
We learn which species
slaughtered other species,
03:50.668 --> 03:52.419
which species drove which to extinction.
03:53.504 --> 03:57.341
But then we act like it's no big deal.
03:57.424 --> 04:01.262
We copy down the notes
and store the knowledge in our brains.
04:02.304 --> 04:06.725
After class,
we casually smile and wave goodbye.
04:07.768 --> 04:10.854
Like robots, performing the job
they were programmed for.
04:12.773 --> 04:16.527
If it were you, Legoshi,
I know you'd be angry and upset.
04:17.111 --> 04:19.113
But it seems like it is bothering you.
04:19.196 --> 04:22.866
Then why don't I feel any hatred?
04:22.950 --> 04:24.785
Why don't I try to escape it?
04:24.868 --> 04:26.495
It's because I'm a dog.
04:26.578 --> 04:28.455
I'm calm and logical.
04:29.248 --> 04:31.125
I was bred to be like this.
04:33.377 --> 04:35.713
But the anxiety piles up.
04:36.255 --> 04:39.633
Am I really that emotionless?
04:40.801 --> 04:43.512
I wish I could at least cry.
04:43.595 --> 04:44.596
That's why I...
04:44.680 --> 04:47.266
That's why you were carrying this?
04:49.601 --> 04:50.561
Yeah.
04:51.770 --> 04:56.275
I'm using this to force out the tears.
04:58.068 --> 05:02.740
Right now, this is how I ease the pain.
05:04.575 --> 05:05.451
Whoa, Jack!
05:05.534 --> 05:09.121
I don't wanna be a Labrador anymore!
05:09.204 --> 05:12.666
At this rate, society's gonna
turn into a dog dictatorship!
05:13.584 --> 05:16.045
I don't know about that. I think--
05:16.962 --> 05:21.967
We'd slaughter without batting an eye
if we were told it was logical!
05:22.051 --> 05:25.471
Dogs are terrifying creatures.
And so am I!
05:25.554 --> 05:30.642
It's not because you're a dog!
You don't hate anyone because you're Jack!
05:30.726 --> 05:32.019
Just be Jack!
05:33.979 --> 05:35.939
How can you say that?
05:36.565 --> 05:39.151
How do you even know that?
05:41.403 --> 05:43.530
Because we grew up together.
05:46.533 --> 05:47.576
Right?
05:49.495 --> 05:50.871
Together?
05:51.622 --> 05:53.874
No, we didn't, Legoshi.
05:53.957 --> 05:57.669
You left me in the dust
and grew up all on your own.
05:57.753 --> 06:01.673
You were set free,
somewhere I can never go.
06:02.424 --> 06:05.135
Come on, cheer up.
06:06.470 --> 06:09.098
I want you to smile again, Jack.
06:12.392 --> 06:16.063
Idiot! Spit it out, Jack!
Eating onions will kill you!
06:16.146 --> 06:18.482
You think I'll obey
just because I'm a dog?
06:18.565 --> 06:20.442
Shut up! This is life-or-death!
06:20.526 --> 06:23.779
Labradors can rebel too, you know!
06:25.614 --> 06:27.366
I'm going in!
06:30.077 --> 06:31.161
Spit it all out!
06:33.831 --> 06:38.752
Legoshi's long, sharp nails
are scratching the back of my throat.
06:38.836 --> 06:40.254
It hurts. I can't breathe.
06:41.255 --> 06:43.924
He's always like this.
06:44.007 --> 06:45.425
Always has been.
06:53.142 --> 06:54.518
Sorry.
06:54.601 --> 06:58.021
But I just couldn't let you die
from eating onions.
07:00.023 --> 07:02.151
You have to value your own life.
07:03.068 --> 07:06.321
Even after we grow old,
07:06.405 --> 07:11.869
I want you here
to cry and laugh with me like always.
07:12.703 --> 07:16.540
Coming from the big bad wolf?
You're one to talk.
07:17.249 --> 07:19.376
You're the one hurting me.
07:42.232 --> 07:43.525
Legoshi...
07:56.705 --> 08:00.876
Melda? Why, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
08:00.959 --> 08:04.671
The drug they unveiled
the night of that masquerade party.
08:04.755 --> 08:08.008
I know this is where
the Shishi-Gumi got it.
08:08.091 --> 08:09.843
Oh, is it?
08:09.927 --> 08:11.887
What kind of drug is that?
08:11.970 --> 08:13.472
That's what I came here to find out.
08:15.724 --> 08:16.642
Is this it?
08:16.725 --> 08:18.852
Please, enough joking around.
08:18.936 --> 08:21.230
This is my special kopi luwak.
08:24.191 --> 08:29.446
Eggs, milk, and other foods
that come from the body of an animal
08:29.530 --> 08:33.534
provide a sense of euphoria
similar to that of meat consumption.
08:33.617 --> 08:35.577
Same goes for this kopi luwak.
08:46.380 --> 08:48.298
An herbivore, reacting so strongly?
08:48.382 --> 08:50.634
Have you had kopi luwak before?
08:50.717 --> 08:51.760
No.
08:51.843 --> 08:55.264
Carnivores sometimes
display physical reactions to it...
08:55.347 --> 08:59.601
This must be an effect
of eating carrots fertilized with meat.
09:00.352 --> 09:04.022
Would you happen to be a mix?
09:04.106 --> 09:05.941
What makes you think that?
09:06.024 --> 09:07.818
Where shall I begin?
09:08.443 --> 09:11.113
Your decisiveness is unrivaled,
09:11.196 --> 09:14.616
and you have the passion
to make whatever you want happen.
09:14.700 --> 09:17.286
You don't hesitate to use violence.
09:17.369 --> 09:21.582
You're unbothered by criticism,
and conceited to the point of arrogance.
09:22.457 --> 09:27.129
These traits aren't necessarily
characteristic of mixes, of course.
09:27.212 --> 09:31.425
But I did come across mixes like this
among my research subjects.
09:31.508 --> 09:32.759
Melon, perhaps?
09:32.843 --> 09:34.219
Good question.
09:34.303 --> 09:38.223
Research entities are obligated
to uphold confidentiality, you know.
09:38.307 --> 09:40.058
I see.
09:40.142 --> 09:43.979
Then, would you tell me
about weaknesses generally seen in mixes?
09:45.397 --> 09:46.982
A hard-hitting question.
09:47.065 --> 09:48.483
I don't beat around the bush.
09:48.567 --> 09:49.443
Clearly.
09:50.277 --> 09:53.155
Well, generally speaking, of course,
09:53.238 --> 09:57.409
mixes have smaller appetites
and less sexual desire.
09:57.492 --> 10:00.412
Such cases are common, generally.
10:00.495 --> 10:03.415
In this society,
those sound like advantages.
10:03.498 --> 10:06.710
I'm sure it's torturous for them, though.
10:06.793 --> 10:09.796
No matter what they eat,
they're never satisfied.
10:10.881 --> 10:14.718
Never satisfied, no matter what they eat...
10:20.098 --> 10:21.516
Jump!
10:21.600 --> 10:26.563
A mix posing as a herbivore
could never become a professor.
10:26.647 --> 10:28.899
Jump off!
10:28.982 --> 10:32.277
If you're a feline,
you'll survive this fall, right?
10:40.494 --> 10:43.080
Let's secure this in a bag.
10:43.872 --> 10:46.083
Oh, okay.
10:52.756 --> 10:54.383
Please close the windows.
10:55.676 --> 10:57.886
COEXISTENCE THEORY
11:00.681 --> 11:02.974
- Ms. Haru.
- Yes?
11:03.058 --> 11:07.396
You mentioned that you've
escaped being killed before, correct?
11:08.438 --> 11:11.566
Yeah, I'm a rabbit.
It happens all the time.
11:11.650 --> 11:14.403
Are you not afraid of carnivores?
11:14.486 --> 11:19.449
Well, if I let myself be afraid of them,
I'll never be able to get to know them.
11:19.533 --> 11:21.284
That's scarier to me.
11:21.368 --> 11:22.702
Scarier than being eaten?
11:22.786 --> 11:24.746
Yeah, I think so.
11:26.581 --> 11:28.417
Ouch...
11:30.419 --> 11:34.673
Keep saying things like that,
and you'll surely be devoured someday.
11:36.049 --> 11:40.220
If I'm destined to die anyway,
I'll risk my life for love.
11:43.473 --> 11:46.852
Wow, crazy storm.
11:47.477 --> 11:52.274
Her tiny body
has to work so hard just to stay alive.
11:53.066 --> 11:56.987
How can her mind be filled
with so many thoughts like this?
11:58.530 --> 11:59.948
It's raining cats and dogs.
12:00.866 --> 12:02.659
I'm curious.
12:03.285 --> 12:06.913
This one's flesh and blood
are seeping with rich emotion.
12:07.497 --> 12:09.708
How does that taste?
12:13.545 --> 12:14.671
I want to...
12:16.590 --> 12:18.758
I want to devour her.
12:24.347 --> 12:27.017
This feels like when...
12:28.768 --> 12:30.061
Stop right there!
12:30.145 --> 12:32.147
What species are you, Professor?
12:33.148 --> 12:37.319
I mean, the way you embraced me just now
didn't really feel sexual.
12:37.402 --> 12:42.407
It felt more like the way
a carnivore captures its herbivore prey.
12:42.491 --> 12:45.952
I've almost been eaten before,
so I know what it feels like.
12:46.036 --> 12:48.622
Rabbits are at risk every day, ya know?
12:48.705 --> 12:51.374
What was I gonna say?
12:51.458 --> 12:54.836
As you can see, I'm only a gazelle.
12:56.338 --> 13:01.259
Right, you're a gazelle.
There's no way you're a carnivore.
13:01.343 --> 13:03.345
But...
13:03.428 --> 13:08.767
Wait, Professor!
So you were coming on to me just now?
13:11.520 --> 13:15.899
Sorry, I haven't done this kind of thing
in a while. I'm flattered, really.
13:15.982 --> 13:18.318
But there's a boy I like now,
13:18.401 --> 13:21.071
and I quit messing around with guys
after high school.
13:37.128 --> 13:38.838
Just as I thought.
13:39.798 --> 13:42.300
This is all new to me.
13:43.552 --> 13:45.595
It doesn't really hurt.
13:46.221 --> 13:50.892
Right now,
I think my heart hurts the most.
13:53.144 --> 13:57.983
Looks like we have
a problem on our hands. Truly...
14:13.623 --> 14:15.333
Thank you and enjoy.
14:15.417 --> 14:18.962
Hey. Your shop has
a secret menu too, right?
14:19.045 --> 14:20.797
Huh? Not that I know of...
14:20.880 --> 14:23.174
C'mon, don't play dumb.
14:23.258 --> 14:25.343
Any udon with meat? How about chicken?
14:25.427 --> 14:26.803
No! We don't serve that.
14:26.887 --> 14:29.180
The way you're freaking out is suspicious.
14:29.264 --> 14:31.558
Good grief. Enjoy your meal.
14:32.267 --> 14:33.643
He said no.
14:33.727 --> 14:36.313
I'll buy some lamb
at the Black Market tomorrow.
14:36.396 --> 14:39.524
That'd make me so happy!
I'll whip up some nice, meaty udon.
14:39.608 --> 14:41.401
Happy, huh?
14:42.485 --> 14:44.988
Am I being too uptight about this?
14:45.071 --> 14:46.698
Looking stressed, wolf.
14:48.074 --> 14:50.035
Mr. Yahya!
14:50.118 --> 14:52.162
I take it your leg's okay now?
14:52.245 --> 14:54.748
Have you tracked Melon down?
14:54.831 --> 14:56.333
Well...
14:56.416 --> 15:00.170
First things first,
I need you to return that mask.
15:00.253 --> 15:03.131
Oh, I'm sorry.
15:03.214 --> 15:08.219
I dropped it in the ocean.
Or rather, it got tossed in with me...
15:08.303 --> 15:11.640
You went looking for Melon, didn't you?
15:13.141 --> 15:16.436
I know you told me not to get involved
with Melon's case anymore,
15:16.519 --> 15:18.313
but did something else happen?
15:18.396 --> 15:22.400
Did you enjoy
your friendly chat with Melon?
15:22.484 --> 15:23.652
I failed.
15:24.277 --> 15:25.528
I underestimated him.
15:25.612 --> 15:27.364
I bet you did.
15:28.031 --> 15:32.285
He made me realize
that evil really exists in this world.
15:33.370 --> 15:35.205
I was scared silly.
15:35.789 --> 15:36.998
I still am.
15:37.082 --> 15:40.627
Even the immortal Legoshi was afraid?
15:41.836 --> 15:45.340
It was that look in his eyes.
He enjoyed watching my death.
15:45.924 --> 15:50.136
Behind those eyes,
I saw a red-hot flame burning.
15:50.804 --> 15:53.139
I know that flame well.
15:53.223 --> 15:57.686
When I ate meat,
when I beat up those criminals,
15:59.396 --> 16:01.564
that flame was inside me, too.
16:02.399 --> 16:04.776
I feel like Melon's inside me, too.
16:04.859 --> 16:07.112
And that scares me.
16:08.405 --> 16:11.658
That is what's truly frightening
about Melon.
16:11.741 --> 16:13.368
I never want to see him again.
16:14.577 --> 16:15.996
Okay.
16:16.579 --> 16:18.665
I'm sorry for losing the mask.
16:18.748 --> 16:20.625
Can I go now?
16:21.501 --> 16:23.336
If I don't hurry, my pay'll get docked.
16:23.420 --> 16:26.214
Go on. Sorry for interrupting your work.
16:36.516 --> 16:42.647
How long will I keep trembling in fear
at the beast inside me?
16:56.036 --> 17:00.582
Finally, the runaway wolf returns!
I've been waiting forever.
17:04.044 --> 17:06.713
I'll let myself in.
17:07.380 --> 17:10.800
Wow, this place is cozier than I expected.
17:11.801 --> 17:15.430
Oh, you're taking good care
of the mint plant I got you!
17:16.222 --> 17:20.101
- You can't deceive this nose, Haru.
- But I can tell you're just watering it.
17:20.810 --> 17:23.646
You were in another man's arms today!
17:24.230 --> 17:26.107
Who is he? Where is he?
17:26.191 --> 17:27.984
I'll bring fertilizer next time.
17:28.068 --> 17:30.737
The rain is diluting the scent!
17:31.404 --> 17:32.530
Hey, Legoshi.
17:32.614 --> 17:33.531
What?
17:33.615 --> 17:36.076
The trains have stopped,
so I'm spending the night.
17:36.159 --> 17:38.078
Oh... Huh?
17:38.161 --> 17:39.871
Spend the... Huh?
17:40.371 --> 17:41.831
Don't worry.
17:41.915 --> 17:44.876
I brought my own toothbrush, see?
17:49.839 --> 17:51.966
This tea is amazing.
17:54.177 --> 17:55.720
- Haru.
- Yeah?
17:55.804 --> 17:57.680
Well...
17:58.890 --> 18:02.852
Are you enjoying the college life?
18:02.936 --> 18:04.938
Are you suspicious of me?
18:05.021 --> 18:07.273
Uh, no, I was just asking.
18:07.357 --> 18:09.567
With your tail sticking straight up?
18:09.651 --> 18:15.365
No, I mean, I just thought college life
might include some opposite-sex mingling...
18:16.116 --> 18:18.576
Listen here, Legoshi.
18:18.660 --> 18:22.122
If you think you can keep me
tied down forever, think again!
18:22.205 --> 18:24.999
I wanna kiss! And do more!
I've been waiting for ages!
18:25.083 --> 18:28.211
But that stuff is too risky!
18:28.294 --> 18:31.798
Physically, socially, even financially...
18:31.881 --> 18:33.716
You think you know everything, huh?
18:33.800 --> 18:34.634
But...
18:35.593 --> 18:40.431
We don't even know
about physical stuff yet.
18:40.515 --> 18:41.349
What?
18:42.016 --> 18:46.146
We won't know if we can or can't do it
until we actually try it.
18:47.188 --> 18:49.691
I need to see it first.
18:49.774 --> 18:51.651
What is this energy?
18:51.734 --> 18:52.777
You're kidding, right?
18:52.861 --> 18:54.237
I'm not kidding.
18:55.238 --> 18:57.490
Show it to me, Legoshi.
18:57.574 --> 18:59.325
Let me do this.
18:59.409 --> 19:02.370
You can eat me anytime you want, Legoshi.
19:02.453 --> 19:05.248
Just for tonight, let me eat you instead.
19:14.090 --> 19:15.133
Haru.
19:15.800 --> 19:20.847
Ever since the day I fell for you,
I've had something on my mind.
19:23.349 --> 19:27.228
If I'd been a female rabbit,
and you were a male wolf,
19:28.188 --> 19:31.649
I'd want you to hold me tight
and eat me up.
19:32.150 --> 19:34.402
I fantasize about how nice that would be.
19:37.447 --> 19:39.157
I kind of feel bad.
19:39.240 --> 19:40.950
That's all I have.
19:41.034 --> 19:42.035
Really?
19:42.577 --> 19:45.622
I don't think
you have anything to apologize for.
19:46.497 --> 19:48.958
I'm just glad you showed me.
19:49.709 --> 19:51.836
I thought you would say no.
19:54.881 --> 19:57.926
In this room
I haven't even cleaned properly,
19:59.052 --> 20:03.181
bits of our fur dance in the air,
sparkling in the light.
20:03.264 --> 20:05.391
It doesn't feel real.
20:06.517 --> 20:11.481
The fact that I'm a mix... Or that
interspecies marriages never end well.
20:11.981 --> 20:14.400
If we can put aside
all those societal issues,
20:14.484 --> 20:18.529
and be together in this room,
just the two of us in our own universe...
20:19.113 --> 20:21.532
Then, I could...
20:21.616 --> 20:23.076
Where'd this come from?
20:25.245 --> 20:26.120
And this.
20:26.204 --> 20:28.122
Oh, I just tripped.
20:28.206 --> 20:30.458
When a guy says that,
it's a lie 80% of the time.
20:30.541 --> 20:32.252
You're injured all over, huh?
20:33.795 --> 20:35.421
Come on, Legoshi.
20:36.005 --> 20:40.635
Say what you want,
but you're still a big, carnivorous wolf.
20:40.718 --> 20:44.681
You instinctually resort to violence
and put yourself in danger.
20:45.848 --> 20:47.809
There's no way around that.
20:47.892 --> 20:51.938
But those instincts
are immature, you know!
20:56.484 --> 21:01.072
From now on, I'm going to make sure
you start living an adult life.
21:01.656 --> 21:04.701
I'll keep at it. Little by little.
21:05.535 --> 21:06.577
Okay?
21:08.830 --> 21:10.331
I would love that.
21:10.999 --> 21:12.292
Good.
21:13.376 --> 21:15.169
Let's take our time
21:16.004 --> 21:18.881
and show each other
everything we haven't yet.
21:19.841 --> 21:22.260
Maybe we went too fast tonight.
21:22.343 --> 21:23.928
You think?
21:24.887 --> 21:27.390
Thump. Thump. Thump.
21:29.058 --> 21:31.519
That sound means you're alive, Legoshi.
21:31.602 --> 21:35.356
Is that something
we haven't shown each other yet?
21:35.940 --> 21:37.150
No.
21:37.984 --> 21:39.944
It's the part of you I know best.
22:02.592 --> 22:03.926
Haru...
23:37.603 --> 23:41.941
